BELGRADE CURLING TENT more >>>
Dear curling friends, A curling tent is an idea that we had for past several years but never had the means to materialize it. Now that we did and it was a success and enabled us to play, practice and promote curling on a playable ice and at a reasonable cost even for a small and economically destabilized country like Serbia we want to SHARE with you WHAT and HOW we did it.
We can also offer you our solutions at prices we had (we were able to negotiate discounts that apply only for us, but we think that "regular" prices are also fair). Please feel free to download our report in PDF and recommend it to others.

If you want to have it on your web site please put a link to our web site. We hope this report will be of help to you or at least inspire you to find new solutions and share them with the curling community.
Thank you, Marko Stojanović

Belgrade Curling Tent, Confluence Shopping Centre, January 30th 2011
The golden cup and medals stay in Belgrade! The temperature in Belgrade below -6 but the Belgrade Curling Tent was full of people watching the game between Belgrade's "Confluence" Curling Team and 3 curlers from Zagreb, Croatia that were joined by some curling debutants from Belgrade and were competing under the name Curling Team "Čudnovati Čunjaš & Vukovi" (Stange Skittler & Wolves-who previously withdrew from the Cup in the last minute).
Weather was freezing but the ice was on fire. It was a bad start for the Confluence team as they were down 3 in the first End and another one in the second, but then under a guidance of the young skip Djordje Nešković (only 19 Yo) they regrouped and started coming back – one in the 3rd End and very important 3 stones in the 4th End.
After a lot cheering all the voices froze understanding that the curlers need all the concentration they can get. The time limit of 75 minutes to complete the game was warring out quickly in the 5th End.
The last stone of the 5th End was played in the last second of the game and the suspense was on for another few seconds.... Finally the Confluence Curling Team won by one stone.
Everybody went on ice cheering, being happy for their curlers but most important as Belgrade had its first covered curling ice, curling games, national and international competition. Marko Stojanović, Bojan Mijatović, Dara Gravara-Stojanović, Saša Šekarić, Rade Čulić, Tatjana Jeftić, Djordje Nešković, Dragana Simjanović, Goran Ungurović, National Curling Association of Serbia, Royal Curling Club from Belgrade, Confluence Shopping Centre, MTS Telecom Serbia, Quantum Skating Rinks, Municipalities of New Belgrade, Old Town and Čukarica made HISTORY.
The bronze medals and cup were awarded by the representative of Eurosport Serbia Mr.Predrag Vukasović to CT Senyor from Budapest, Hungary, silver by Mr.Slobodan Igrutinović, Secretary General of the Sports Journalist Association of Serbia to "Čudnovati Čunjaš & Vukovi" from Zagreb, Croatia (and Belgrade) and the golden cup and medals by the General Manager of the Touristic Organization of Belgrade Mr.Dejan Veselinov to the Confluence Curling Team from Belgrade, Serbia.
Hungarian skip and president of Hungarian Curling Association as well as ECF Representative for Eastern Europe Mr.Andras Rokusfalvy thanked the organisers for hospitality and good organisation and stated that the curling tent is a big step for Serbian curlers but possibly for others in other countries that do not dedicated curling ice. He said just like the Croatian skip Mr.Neven Pufnik after him that they are all looking forward to coming back to Belgrade for curling, having good time and some tourism too. They all felt very welcome in Belgrade and Mr.Pufnik added that he was hopping to have some ice like this in Croatia soon too.
After a group photo all present went for a hot wine infront of the Confluence Shopping Centre offered by Curling Association of Belgrade and Marko Stojanović.
The organisers wish to thank all the teams participating at this international event stating also that there was only one ladies team and one mixed.
BELGRADE CURLING CUP No.1 is closed for curling and we are all preparing for No.2 !
Welcome to Belgrade!

After half a bonspiel is over we already know the first finalist - Confluence Curling Team had won its games in the "Sava" Group and took first place in the group with 8 points. It is a team made up of three members of the Serbian National Curling Team, Bojan Mijatović and Djordje Nešković that alternate as skips, Goran Ungurović as the second and Bojan Bradić who is atheltics coach of the National Team as well as the coach at the "Partizan" Athletic Club.
The second place in the "Sava" Group was won by the CC Host (KK "Domaćin") from Novi Sad after a game with CC Danube which they won with a score of 5 to 1. That will alow them to compete for a third place tomorrow at 14h.
Other results of the first half of the Belgrade Curling Cup No.1:
- CC Host : CC Danube 5 : 1
- Confulence CT : CT Host 6 : 1
- Senyor CT : CT Čudnovаti Čunjаš & Vukovi 1 : 7
- CT Dаrumice - CT Pendа 6 : 0
- Confulence CT - CT Danube 9 : 2
- CT Danube - Confulence CT 0 : 10
- CT Danube - CT Host 3 : 4
- Confulence CT - KK Domаćin 7 : 5
CC Vukovi (Wolves) from Belgrade decided at the last minute (on the 28th of January) not to participate but to have few of its players curl for the CC "Čudnovati Čunjaš" from Zagreb (Croatia) took us all by surprise. The organizers found this decision very unfair and unsporting as it endangered the competition in the "Sava" group which was left with only 3 teams to play so they decided to play double Round Robin in this group.
The organizers from Curling Association of Belgrade and National Curling Association of Serbia want to thank all the teams in the "Sava" Group as some of them had to play three games per day even two games in a row. The motivation for such an unpleasant move of the CC Vukovi as stated by their president was to show that Croatian and Serbian curlers can play together which we salute but the fact that Croatian curlers applied for competing at our curling cup was probably enough of a statement that curling was bringing our two nations closer together and it was not necessary to endanger the whole tournament especially as organizers had to reject two teams from participating to keep the number of teams at 8 to be able to finish all the games this weekend.

Mountaineers Finish Fifth at Regional
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University gymnastics team concluded its 2013 season with a fifth-place showing at the NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships, tonight, inside the WVU Coliseum.
The Mountaineers (13-9, 1-3), the region's fifth seed, scored 194.475 in their season finale. WVU tallied 49.025 on vault, 48.475 on bars, 48.45 on beam and 48.525 on floor.
"Despite the setbacks, I thought we did really well tonight," Mountaineer coach Jason Butts says. "The team fought, and that's what we stress within this program. We could have counted some falls, but we didn't. This team fought until the end, and I'm very proud of that.
"The crowd was great tonight. This team thrived off its energy, and I'm thankful for the Mountaineer faithful that were in attendance."
Top-seed Michigan, ranked fifth nationally, scored 196.725 and finished first overall. Illinois, the region's No. 2 seed and ranked No. 17 nationally, finished second with a 196.025 score. The Wolverines and the Illini have earned the right to advance to the 2013 NCAA Championships.
No. 8-ranked Nebraska, the region's second seed, scored 195.875 and finished third, while Kentucky, the No. 4 seed and ranked No. 19 nationally, tallied 195.575 and placed fourth. Sixth-seed North Carolina scored 194.35 and finished sixth.
Illinois' Alina Weinstein scored 39.55 and finished first overall.
WVU senior Kaylyn Millick tied for ninth overall with a 39.0 score. Junior Hope Sloanhoffer tallied 38.9 and finished 12th.
The Mountaineers opened the meet on bars and redeemed themselves after a shaky rotation at the Big 12 Championship on March 23 with a 48.475 score. Millick shone brightest for the team, earning 9.825, her best mark since tallying a 9.9 at Maryland on Feb. 17, and finishing 11th overall with the meet's fourth-best score. Sophomore Dayah Haley returned to the lineup's leadoff position following a two-week hiatus and finished second on the team with a 9.7. Junior Erica Smith tallied 9.675, senior Chelsea Goldschrafe earned 9.65 and Sloanhoffer went 9.625.
Despite a slow start on balance beam, WVU recovered late in the second rotation, as the last three gymnasts scored 9.75 or better and the team tallied 48.45. Sophomore Beth Deal anchored the lineup with a 9.825, her top score since earning a season-best 9.875 at the Coliseum on Feb. 24, and finished tied for fifth. Millick finished second on the team, 10th overall, with a 9.8, and Sloanhoffer scored 9.75.
Following a bye in the third rotation, the Mountaineers hit five-for-six on floor for a 48.525 total. Senior Alaska Richardson put on a show for the home crowd and earned a team-best 9.875, good-enough for a second-place tie. Goldschrafe scored 9.775, her best score since March 10, and finished 13th, and Sloanhoffer scored 9.725.
The Mountaineers had their top showing on vault and earned their only 49.0+ mark of the evening with a 49.025 score. Richardson and freshman Jaida Lawrence tied for 12th place with 9.825s, the meet's sixth-best score, while Sloanhoffer and Goldschrafe scored 9.8, a season best for a Goldschrafe, and finished in 15th place. Millick scored 9.775, and Haley opened the rotation with a 9.75.
WVU finished the meet on a bye in the sixth rotation.
Tonight's meet was the final collegiate competition for Goldschrafe, Millick and Richardson.
"Those girls went out doing the best gymnastics of their careers tonight, and I'm really proud of them," says Butts. "I think they all can be so proud of how they ended their careers. They've led by example all season, and I'm happy for them to have had a good night."

Logo Rhinestone Cadet Hat 4 4
Good look This hat has sophisticated look, love it, thank you! July 4, 2013
Better descriptions I have a couple of logo hats with and without crystals. I needed a white logo with crystals. I purchased it and was disappointed when I received it. I believed it was with all clear crystals, but it had both clear and black crystals on it. I didn't want black crystals or expecting them. I believe the description should've said what color crystals were on the hat so I could've known what was I purchasing. July 2, 2013
Cute hat! Cute hat ... wear at the gym and running errands! Fits great and has just enough bling. I have it in black & white and love them both. March 30, 2013
<3 this hat, I'm here buying my BFF one for her Birthday. I wore this hat today and my BFF asked me to buy her one for her birthday. I agreed b/c she admired it like 4 or 5 times...lol! ~M February 6, 2013

Imagining iOS 5
While in previous years Apple has debuted products like iPhone, MacBook Air, and iPad in January and done an iOS preview in March, this year's iPad 2 launch event is March 2, leading some to believe Apple will eschew a separate event and introduce iOS 5 on the same day. So, just in case Apple goes for the 1-2 combo punch, just in case Scott Forstall takes the stage to "blow away" developers and users with what's next, we want to be ready.
Apple begs the question -- what will 2011 be the year of? We'll give you our want list, after the break.
Apple ID activation
Right now before you can use a new iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad you (or the store where you bought it) have to tether it to iTunes on Mac or Windows and activate it. How 2007. Android just needs a Gmail address. webOS just needs a Palm profile. Facebook phones (you know they're coming!) will just need your @facebook.com address. Apple has millions and millions of iTunes IDs, Apple IDs, and MobileMe IDs. Let us use those -- or better yet, unify those first and then let us use our unified Apple ID -- to activate our iOS devices.
Moreover, just like when you login to MobileMe for the first time on a new Mac, let iOS immediately check the cloud and download our preferences. Let us type in that ID and get our mail, calendar, and contacts accounts, Wi-Fi setups, and all our other Settings synced down to our device.
If we lose our iPhone or simply update to a new one, we should be able to login with our Apple ID and immediately have our phone restored to a personalized, working state. Sure huge media, apps, games, etc. will still require iTunes tether to sync, but give us a basic on-device, online way to start.
(Seeing as how the facial recognition login is still likely a few years off...)
Contact and status aggregation
Once we have the one Apple ID to rule them all, we need a saner way of handling all the other IDs and accounts. Facetiously I'd say just copy webOS' Syngery. Seriously, however, between email, IM, Twitter and Facebook status, contact information, and all the different online stores with often conflicting data it's annoying and unworkable to keep them all sandboxed and separate. We've been asking for this on iOS for years now as well. (Don't make Chad bring up those old iChat Mobile patents again!)
If we know a contacts online account, let us enter it. Then pull in their profile information and status, silo it so it stays internally separate, but present it back to us in a unified view.
Facebook is presenting email, IM, SMS, etc. in a unified Facebook message system now and while it's still a little kludgy it shows how the boundary between different communication forms are breaking down. Apple is great at "hiding the pipes" (the backend data sources that bring information into their apps) and showing the user only a single clean, consistent UI. They're doing that now with unified inbox in Mail -- regardless of which account an individual message is in, we see them all in the unified inbox. It would be great to see Apple expand this not just across email accounts but across protocols.
If I bring up Leanna, let me see her latest emails, Twitter and Facebook status, IM's, SMS, etc. all as "messages" (hey, let 3rd parties hook in so I can see Foursquare, Instagram, etc. if she offers them and I approve them on my device.) Then thread them and let me reply back to them automagically using the proper protocol.
App state sync
Taking it one step further, right now if we use an app on iPhone and then go and use the same app on iPad -- even if it's a universal binary -- there's no persistency of state. Unless the developer is syncing on their own or with a popular web service like DropBox, there's no way to get to your latest data from different devices. Apple could provide a consistent method for doing this.
We've asked for it before when it comes to games -- let Game Center sync our game progress between devices. If we get to a certain level in Infinity Blade on iPhone we want to pick up iPad and keep going from that level. But really, a general app state sync API would be even better. When iOS saves the information locally, push it up to the cloud and the next time the app is launched on any device, check the cloud for the latest state.
App store upgrades
Originally I wanted App Store trials, subscriptions, and upgrades. To be able to download an app or game, try it for a short period of time, then decide to buy it and if the developer offers a really compelling upgrade, pay for it without having to buy a whole new "2" app would be fantastic for users and developers alike. Over time, with freemium and $0.99 apps with in-app purchases the need to demo has lessened for me. And Apple has already announced subscriptions -- to much controversy, so we won't retread that again here. But upgrades are still needed.
iTunes knows what apps we've bought. We know it knows because when we try to buy a paid app we've already bought, iTunes tells use we've already bought it and that we can download it again for free. Why can't the same system be used to determine, for example, that we've already bought Tweetie 1 and hence we can download Tweetie 2 at an upgrade price. Apple could allow developers to set that upgrade price in iTunes Connect, an extension of how they can set universal sale prices today. We've seen some strange screens pop up that seem to indicate Apple is at least experimenting with the idea, but why not pull the trigger? Again, it's more overhead for Apple but the customer experience boost would be enormous.
File handling
Similarly, it's still vexing to try and get your documents onto iOS, to make sure you have the latest version, to be able to edit it and seamlessly save it back to the device and cloud. For years we've asked for a Mobile Finder app, or more recently a Files app, that would work like a system-wide repository for documents the way Photos works for videos and images.
Most users don't need file system access the same way they don't need everything running in the background all the time. What they need is the functionality file access provides in a way that's robust and usable on mobile devices.
In that way a Files.app would give us access all our documents the same way we go to the Photos app or call up the picture picker in a 3rd party app today. (Yes, pretty much what Apple does in the online-only iDisk app.)
Good on-device handling is only one piece of the puzzle, however. We need to be able to round-trip the documents from our Windows or Mac PC and our Google or other cloud. Right now we can do some of that, sort of, in a painful and convoluted way. Apple is addressing some of this in the new Mac OS X Lion preview with AirDrop -- a way to move files between Macs as easily as iOS moves video and print jobs with AirPlay and AirPrint. There are also hints of improved WebDAV-based sharing in OS X Lion Server. But that all still sounds disjointed and overly complex.
Something that combines the Files.app idea with AirDrop, supported on iOS, Mac, and PC, and able to sync with a far more robust, speedy, and reliable iDisk or WebDAV would be grand. While I don't expect Apple to include support for DropBox, Box.net, Google Docs, etc. letting the user configure them in a WebDAV-like manner would be outstanding.
Open Files.app. Add a sync source if you want one and have one. Let any app, including iWork, Docs to Go, QuickOffice, etc. open, edit, and save back the files. And keep them in sync. (Oh, and add similar cloud sync options to Photos.)
System-wide Voice Control
Apple introduced basic VoiceControl a couple years ago in iOS 3 for iPhone 3GS letting us place calls or play music. Google trounced this with system-wide voice commands in Android starting with the Nexus One last year. Apple needs to take the lead back here. There are lots of rumors that Apple will use their SIRI acquisition to bridge the gap but SIRI isn't voice control any more than it's a search engine. It uses voice recognition to tie into popular, existing search engines to provide basic, intelligent services for users. Steve Jobs has called it Artificial Intelligence. SIRI could be a robust extension of voice control and a way to "synergize" multiple sources of online data, but Apple needs to deliver the underpinnings and that's new, home-grown tech. (Unless Woz didn't just misspeak and Apple really did secretly buy Nuance...)
It's much-needed tech, however, so here's hoping Apple delivers it.
Elegant notifications
Apple's current badge, sound, and popup notification system -- virtually unchanged since 2007 -- is so unwieldy that it's difficult to imagine Apple built it knowing 3rd party apps and push notifications were in the pipeline. Android is less obtrusive, webOS far more elegant, and while Jailbreak has offered several interesting alternatives for iOS it's time for Apple to pick up the ball on this one.
The status quo is untenable. If you're on the phone or playing a game and one -- or so help you many -- popups appear you have to view them immediately or dismiss them forever and you can't even hang up your call or do any basic screen command while that model dialog remains on screen. It's like being a prisoner. And if you dismiss it out of annoyance you may not even remember what it was for later, and you have no workable way of finding out.
More than just a better system for staking and packing notifications, we need a better way to interact with them. Like Ally said, BiteSMS for Jailbreak runs rings around the current iOS Messages app. That might not be the model Apple implements, but it should be the spirit.
It's the last truly gaping, galling deficiency in iOS. It's the last huge item other mobile OS use to poke fun. It just has to be fixed. Fortunately Apple hired the man who designed the webOS notification system so that's reassuring.
It took 3 years for copy/paste, 4 years for multitasking -- 5 should be notifications.
Theme Store
Georgia said this well; Apple doesn't need to do themes the way Cydia or BlackBerry does. At least not at first. They could provide their own set of 4-6 themes to start the same way they offer templates in Keynote or Pages. They could sell them in a Theme Store and once the process was hardened, slowly open it up to 3rd parties.
There's a lot of money to be made in themes. Apple likes money. Users like themes. It's simple math, even if implementing it is complex.
I don't think we'll see it in iOS 5 but hey, we'll need something to look forward to for iOS 6...
iWork for iPhone, iMovie for iPad, a real iPhoto or Garageband for either... we might see more Apple apps as well. Photobooth is heavily rumored and seems like a given. Maybe a new Maps using Google new vector tiles and Placebase or other differentiating technology would be great. Even at the amazing pace Apple has updated and released a lot of the iOS apps there's still so much that could be done with the built-in and App Store apps that we could easily fill another post. (And likely will!) but this is another area to watch come iOS 5.
NFC, maybe in a discreet mobile payments app, could appear but that feels more like a WWDC and iPhone 5 announcement.
Like we said in Imagining iPad 2, while Apple is secretive they're also cyclical and subject to the laws of physics and economics, which means they're somewhat predictable. This year's iOS will fill some gaps, shave off some rough edges, surprise and delight us with a few killer features, and disappoint us with a couple inexplicable misses.
If Apple shows off iOS 5 tomorrow our guess is 2011 will be the year of notifications, cloud, and a lot more. What are your guesses?

Imagining iOS 5
You missed the #1 thing for those of us who use the camera a lot: Camera Roll organization! Everybody talks (correctly) about notification improvements being sorely overdue, but that's not nearly as big a mess as a camera roll with 1000+ photos and zero organization.
If you look at past iOS keynotes, they were 1.5 hours long - just for iOS. As much as I want to see iOS 5 I don't see them revealing it at tomorrow's event.
How about redoing or adding new features to the iPhone Message app. I've been asking Apple ever since the original iPhone to have a button to stop the messaging from sending just in case you screwed up the message or you sending the message to the wrong person. I know most of us or maybe all of us screwed up on a message and sent it. Also add text templates and schedule functions to the app.
So what you are saying is that you want Apple to buy BiteSMS and integrate that into the Messages app. BiteSMS allows for an up to 3 second delay when sending a text. The delay looks like a red version of the "Sending" SMS progress bar, and once it fills, the message is then really sent.
good best of list.
the thing I'd add is more customization of settings and triggered profiles. apple could do location or wifi network or time-based profiles of any combination of the above.
It's wishful thinking for me that we'll see iOS 5 tomorrow... however I'm guessing it'll be much like last year where they held the iOS preview event in the first week of April and the iPad event in March.
Or better yet, the Google Maps Navigation app that Android users get for free.
What about Airplay streaming in third party apps? That's my big wish. I use Zumocast and Airvideo as well as some photo apps that I would love to send to apple tv or other devices. Also print support for non- HP printers.
Wow at that whack list it's way better stuff i would like
Please no themes. They are a nuisance. I want things unified and easy.
I would love to see an official call block application, something similar to iBlackList. I get so many marketer calls on my cell and there's no way to block them. I called Verizon and they don't offer that capability. Jailbreak is required for iBlackList.
3+ years is too long to get basic functionality that Android and WebOS have been offering for years. I love my ViPhone, but implementing basic changes have really taken a long time.
I have a webOS phone and the key factors that keep me are notifications and aggregated contacts/calendar. I'm probably going for an iPad 2 anyway because notifications and aggregation are less of an issue on a tablet. I can't see myself getting an iPhone until this is solved and I have a 4G option on an LTE network.
Hopefully iPhone 5 will deliver and I can retire my Pre.
I'm all the way with you on the files.app. I wanted it after I got DocsToGo. Although that application has it's own file manager , I have to remember to sync that separately. However , I sync my iPhone every day and that's something I'll remember to do.
The second I read that Lion was getting AirDrop , I requested that they do it between two or more iOS devices.
I've used voice control with an EVO and it doesn't work as well as voice control for iPhone does. I know the iPhone has limited functions so figuring out what I said wouldn't be difficult. However in terms of finding contacts, it can be less accurate , especially if a name is pronounced differently and the phone pronouces it another way. I see a problem with searching for completely random things using universal voice control for the iPhone , like to use a search engine.
The only REALLY important thing for me is the notifications!!! Geez! Please Apple! Learn from WebOS and Android! EVEN BLACKBERRY! The new BB OS6 has a pull down menu with notifications and previews! I really hate doing something and someone on their blackberry with the enter key gets enter-happy and sends me:
What's up?
at the park
with the dog
and we're
And for every message I get a darn popup!! LOL! Please! FIX THIS APPLE!
"Users like themes..."
Uuuh, I'm a user and I don't like themes... :P
"Begs the question"... I don't think that expression means what you think it means.
How about auto unlock out of your holster like the Berry. It takes too damm long to make a call on an iphone
Click/ swipe/ tap/ tap / tap again. Or speed dial on all keypad numbers. Or home button click to activate phone.
As marvelous as the iphome is for other things it still is a horible phone
I feel like the notifications system needs the most attention. Apple you utilize their technology with finger gestures to give users access to a notification drawer, much like Android. Coming from an Android device, I miss the extras that Android throws in. Folders for photos are another addition that would compliment the wonderful interface Apple offers.
I would personally like to see Apple develop / implement an iChat app for all of the iOS devices available. Something where all iOS users can have their own chatting and instant messaging platform like what you get out of BBM from RIM. I know without a shadow of a doubt that Apple could develop a killer app for something like this and combine it with Facetime or whatever for the video chatting capabilities as well. I just think if they went ahead and made something like that, it would satisfy a lot of iPhone users and also draw in some of those stubborn BlackBerry users who cling to their BBM.
I also have to agree that Themes is probably the next biggest thing Apple could do for the iOS platform, and I'm really hoping that's something they're taking into consideration for next years software update. I think people would jump at the chance to be able to customize the look and feel of their iPhone's UI and I personally feel like that's the only thing Android has over it.
My two cents anyways.
Forget AirPlay, I want wireless syncing with iTunes. If iTunes is open and the phone is nearby, why can't i sync it without getting a bit of wire out and plugging them both in?
Full VoiceControl, unified notifications system for all apps and messages (probably using the space on the multitasking screen, the static app image with multitasking bar bellow does nothing there!) and wireless syncing.

Thoughts on the game
"Great win. We won a football game. We won a football game. That's huge. I thought our guys played hard again today. I thought we played well for four quarters and ran the ball well. We broke tackles and made plays on the perimeter. I think our receivers did a really nice job on the perimeter. Jacob was very shaky in the first half but commanded it well in the second half. Our defense looked great in the first half. Three picks and we set up our offense on a few occasions. The second half was very disappointing defensively. That's not how we are going to play. You can say Western Carolina only had 289 yards, but that's not how we are going to play defense in the second half. I was proud that we had four interceptions today, and we only turned the ball over one time. That's why we won the football game."
On the Mocs defensive play
"We do take-away once or twice a week, and it's always an emphasis. It's all about stripping, picking up fumbles and getting interceptions. We got the interceptions today on throws that weren't great, but we were in the position to catch them. We probably could have had a couple more if we go up for the football and judge it correctly. Those two touchdown passes were ridiculous and that can't happen or you're going to get beat."
Thoughts on Chattanooga's offense
"We had 260 yards in the first half. We had a ton of yards and threw it well. We were something like 15-19 in the first half for 180 yards. The reason we didn't have many rushing yards was because of sacks, but I thought our offensive players and coaches did a great job."
On controlling the football
"We controlled the ball and had nine third-down conversions. If we don't make some of those, it's a tighter ball game. We won the time of possession and handled the ball really well."
Western Carolina Head Coach Mark Speir
Thoughts on the game
"Congratulations to Chattanooga. They have a great football team, and they did a nice job today. I thought we played really solid defense in the first half except for one big play. One of our guys didn't take the back out of the back field and that got the Mocs up. I think we had four picks tonight and couldn't get anything going offensively. We didn't have any rhythm throwing the ball and couldn't run the ball. Chattanooga took the opening drive of the second half down for a score and it really took the wind out of the defense. We have to get the right guys out there. We put Blake Metcalf in because we weren't getting anything out of our kicking and field position. Blake hit a nice kick deep and to the left like we called, but we were out of position and they took it a long way against us. It is hard to rebound against a great team like Chattanooga. Our offense seems to take turns with which halves they want to play and we have to get that together. We have a big game coming up next weekend against Auburn."
Thoughts on personnel changes throughout the game
"We were just trying to get something going with trading in and out Eddie and Troy. Troy got a little flustered so we went to see if Eddie could give us a little spark. Eddie threw a pick and we went back to Troy. Troy got settled down, but we've lost some guys up front on the defensive line. Late in the fourth quarter we really got wore down. We were down to three defensive tackles and trying to roll those guys in. We just have to get ourselves healthy this coming week. We have to get them healthy and play well for an entire game."
On what the Catamounts have to do moving forward
"We are looking for consistency on little things. That's something every football team has to do. We told our team that since the first game of the year that there are times we can play with anybody. It's all about consistency. We just loosened up and gave up some big plays. We screwed up a few calls and some details that we're missing. It's hard to get 22 moving parts moving at the same time and in the same direction, but we have to get them to get their heads on straight and play football all four quarters."
Chaz Moore, Senior, Defensive Back
On the defense's interceptions
"We fed off each other. Coach put us in good positions to make the plays and we made the plays tonight."
Process of putting the loss to Georgia Southern behind them
"Coach said we are going to treat every week like a championship and so this week we took it as our championship game. We're going to take it week by week. We got the 'W' this week and we are going look at our next opponent within the next two days and get on them."
Thoughts on Western Carolina quarterback Troy Mitchell
"We made good plays on him all night. We put him in some tough situations and that's the only reason he got the turnovers. Besides that, I feel like he had a good night. He made some great plays just like any other good quarterback would do."
Daniel Ring, Sophomore, Defensive Lineman
On playing a versatile quarterback
"Our whole main focus this week was to keep him in the pocket and making sure we had a good game tackling him."
Jacob Huesman, Sophomore, Quarterback
Thoughts on the offense
"We didn't make it look pretty in the first half and it started with me. I wasn't very sharp in the first half. I thought we came out and executed better in the second half, and I am proud of the way that we responded"
On running back Keon Williams
"I said it before, he's running possessed. He is a guy that we know we can give the ball to and he is going to rip off a chunk of yards for us. He is running well, and I am very impressed with it."
On putting an emphasis on the passing game
"We definitely wanted to put a little bit more emphasis on it. You can say we worked our way into it a little bit. We threw some screens and short passes just to get the ball out quick. That helps the offensive line out a lot too so they don't have to hold those blocks as long when the ball is coming out."
Thoughts on the offensive line
"We were real thin at offensive line, but the guys that had to come in and play, played really well. Pat moved over to guard and did well. Shaun moved to center and did really well. Dock (Hunter Dockery) went down and Brandon came in, and I thought he played well. It was a very tough circumstance, but I thought that they all played a very good game today."

Customer Quotes | Tanner EDA
|"After we had installed Tanner EDA tools, we had come a long way towards easier IC design of sense amps for capacitance. We are satisfied that we can use HiPer Verify directly for layout verification functionality without any change to the rule file that is provided by the fab."-- Hiroshi Abe, President, ACT LSI, Inc.
|"Tanner' EDA's PC-based tool set is well established in the industry. The integration of foundry rules for layout is straightforward and compatible with all Tier 1 foundries. Tanner EDA's customer service is top notch. Andigilog appreciates and comes to expect regular version updates and support from Tanner EDA to stay current. And with the introduction of new functionality like Interactive DRC and HiPer Verify, using Tanner EDA tools is a no brainer." -- Craig Aykroyd, Senior Analog Design Engineer, Andigilog
|"We've found over the years that the Tanner tools evolve and keep pace with our needs. We are able to achieve our product roadmap of high-speed clocking, interconnects and memories. From the perspective of a focused company looking purely at productivity and engineering resources, I don't need to have a CAD expert on staff if I have Tanner tools. I know we can get all the functionality needed to get the job done efficiently and cost-effectively." -- Mahesh Tirupattur, Executive Vice President, Analog Bits, Inc.
|"At the start of AnSem, 13 years ago, Tanner EDA was selected mainly for two reasons: AnSem was designing only small IP building blocks in trailing technology nodes and Tanner EDA was cost-efficient. Today AnSem is designing complex analog mixed signal ASICs even down to the smallest technology node 40nm and is still using Tanner EDA. So the chip size increased significantly, the complexity went up and the technology node shrunk and Tanner EDA tools are still meeting our requirements." -- Joan Ceuterick, Business Development Manager, AnSem NV
|"Before the introduction of Tanner EDA tools, we had had trouble in physical verification, like DRC. But nowadays, since reliability of verification was considerably improved, we can use the Calibre® rule file without any change, and also working efficiency increased." -- Michinori Ichikawa, President, Brainvision Inc.
|"Calient Optical uses Tanner EDA exclusively for layout of all its product designs. It provides a good balance of performance and ease of use, while continuing improvements in its software constantly adds value to its line of products. One of the most critical aspect of its capabilities is its ability to handle large, complex projects, as Calient Optical's designs can include more than 30 layers and millions of objects." -- John M. Chong, Director of Engineering, Calient Optical Components
|"Our philosophy is to select the most cost-effective tool for a particular engagement. Additionally, we have to be capable of managing a wide variety of jobs - our designs operate from DC to 5GHz. We frequently push the capabilities of tools in our work and we need to be able to customise them when necessary. That's something that is easy to do with L-Edit Pro; it's very straightforward to write our own device generators, for example. Another important consideration is the time it takes to learn to use, or re-acclimatise, with the tool. We have to pull design teams together very quickly, start projects quickly and deliver them quickly - L-Edit is a great help in that respect and its simplicity also reduces our need for CAD support." -- Richard Traherne, Business Unit Manager for Wireless, Cambridge Consultants Ltd.
|"Tight schedules require tools that can get us moving quickly, that everybody knows and that everybody can use. That's why we're so keen on L-Edit. L-Edit is always going to be with us." -- Priyank Gupta, Design Engineer, Cirrus Logic
|"We like the usability performance and extendibility of the Tanner EDA tools. The industry perception is that PC-based tools are not suitable for 'real' chip development.100 Million CSR Bluetooth chips later, we disagree." -- - Paul Egan, Physical Design Group Leader, CSR plc.
|"It's our greatest strength to be in a position to develop space-use components , able to design and evaluate ideas for radial rays in house. Tanner EDA provided the necessary functionality at an affordable price, so we could realize such an environment ." -- Akiko Kajiwara, Principal Engineer, Technical Dept, High-Reliability Engineering & Components Corp.
|"We can now simulate analog and digital together very efficiently. We also work with analog circuits that involve low voltage and low currents and we find that the Tanner tools can simulate these designs very accurately. Other chip design tools that we've looked into are far more expensive and typically require a dedicated support staff just to keep the tools running."-- Reid Harrison, Ph.D., Founder and President, Intan Technologies
|"To actualize ultralow noise at 50 electron (RMS), we needed a tool that was able to verify the considered cause in detail. We are satisfied with Tanner EDA tools not only because of precision and functionality, but also because of the low learning curve.â€-- Professor Hirokazu Ikeda, Department of Spacecraft Engineering, JAXA / Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
|"High-end EDA tools are better suited to Manhattan-style geometry and keeping things 'square,' but everything we do in MEMS is circular. With L-Edit, I can go from concept to finished GDSII in about two weeks. There's never been anything as easy to use for this as Tanner tools." -- Pete Loeppert, Vice President R&D, Knowles Acoustics
|"The role we play in our customers' success has a lot to do with our evolution from digital into analog design, where we really begin to add value in power management technology. L-Edit and Tanner tools are an essential part of that."-- N. Ramakrishnan (Ramki), Founder & CEO, Mandate Chips & Circuits Pvt. Ltd.
"In analog design for green technology, the important goals are low standby current and high power efficiency. It's a different game with different rules, and we can lay out these small yet complex designs comfortably in Tanner."-- Vikras Kumar, Manager of Customer Success, Mandate Chips & Circuits Pvt. Ltd.
|"At Luminescent, we encounter many types of layout from semiconductor companies around the globe. L-Edit is fast, flexible, and easy to use regardless of design style." -- Andrew Moore, Ph.D., Vice President, Luminescent
|"Back in the 1990s our design center used Tanner tools, so we adopted them and have used them ever since. Our accelerometers combine MEMS IP and analog circuitry IP, and the Tanner tools are flexible enough for both our circuitry and the sensor. We model the sensor as a resistor, and we can also model it as a polarized resistor because the thermopile has a polarity. Tanner tools have been 100% reliable for us ever since we started using them. We've never had a tapeout error due to verification." -- Yongyao Cai, Director of Technology Partnership and Development, MEMSIC
|Tanner EDA Tools enabled the design and layout of the chip set in Microsoft's Smart Watches with MSN Direct through an innovative and cutting edge process. This very low power, multi-function integrated circuit has RF, analog and digital circuits integrated into a single 2.7x2.7 millimeter die using TSMC 0.18um process." -- Jim Turner, RF Design Engineer, Microsoft Corp.
|"We could draw millions of array layouts for fine patterns quickly and easily. The display is high speed, and we can demonstrate exposure device without any stress." -- Takashi Matsuoka, Engineer, Technology Dept. Processing Device Group, Nano Systems Solutions, Inc.
|"The flexibility and ease of use of Tanner EDA tools enabled NeuriCam to design all the key blocks in the complex VISoc Vision System on Chip architecture in a very short time. Optical sensors, video analog blocks, RISC and neural processors were integrated in a very compact chip that was fully operational after the first silicon run." -- Alvise Sartori, CEO, Neuricam
|"In a startup, where you wear different hats every day and spend only some of your time doing IC design, the learning curve on most high-end tools is just enormous. The user interface on Tanner EDA tools is much more task-oriented and intuitive. When we set out to do the VGA design, we knew we could depend on the Tanner tools for all of our work in analog. We planned to design the analog blocks on Tanner tools, and then perform most of the chip assembly on workstation tools. But we were so used to working in the more intuitive Tanner world that we ended up doing the entire chip assembly in Tanner. We designed the digital block on the workstation, then transferred it to Tanner as a GDS file for all of our chip assembly. We then moved it back to the workstation for final checks." -- Bryan Ackland, VP Egineering, NoblePeak Vision Corporation
|Tanner EDA helps us to be fast and accurate. The DRC and LVS design verification tools let us turn around new designs quickly and make sure they work the first time. Faster time-to-market has helped us maintain our position as the leader in practical spintronics." -- Joan Lange, Layout Technician, NVE
|"The tools were intuitive to use and we had no problems getting under way. We were able to split up the design tasks allocating the various IC block designs to different engineers." -- Stefan Schubert, Executive Vice President, PE GmbH
|"Tanner EDA tools provide a complete, easy-to-use, solution for ASIC and MEMS designers at a reasonable price. The Windows-based system enables interactive web-based design reviews that are trivial to set up. The GUI enables any EE to use it without formal instruction, and the design kit allows for rapid realization of mixed-signal ASICs. This first time user was able to pick up the tool, design a mixed-signal circuit of about 4000 transistors, and tape it out in five months. Since the chip worked exactly as simulated- and desired- on the first try, I obviously think very highly of Tanner EDA and its tools." -- Mark Zdeblick, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer, Proteus Biomedical
|"As the number of tests and therefore the number of codes required grows, it will be essential to use the programmable layout generators or T-Cells in L-Edit to quickly and automatically design the hundreds or thousands of coded microparticles." -- Stuart Crowther, SmartBead Technologies Ltd
|"With most other tools, there's often quite a bit to do when you bring up a design tool. For instance, you usually need someone to do extensive set up and configuration. That's often a full-time job for someone. The beauty of Tanner EDA is that it's a self-contained package. It contains everything you need. You buy it, put it on your computer, and within two hours, you're in business." -- Mark Wadsworth, Ph.D., President, Tangent Technologies
|Re S/Edit/ T-Spice Pro: "The Corner Simulation entry is one the best features that Tanner added. I use it extensively in my simulations; it's a huge time saver." --Fred Floru, Principal Engineer, THAT Corporation
"Tanner EDA tools have all necessary functions such as IC design, layout design, and physical verification. Additionally, the pricing is innovatively affordable. Tanner EDA is a reliable partner that provides us a necessary environment to realize a low-voltage operation, high accuracy, and low-cost of power supply ICs." -- Tomoko Jojo, Manager, CAD Section R&D Administration Dept. R&D Division, TOREX SEMICONDUCTOR LTD.

When I was much younger, one of the things that attracted me to conservatism was the idea of being one of the "grownups in the room." Conservatives, you see, had an image of themselves as being emotionless and data driven, unlike those cringing liberals who determined policy based purely on their feelings and emotions. It was easy enough to sympathize with the bleeding hearts who had an evidently limitless desire to "help people," but the world was a cruel and nasty place and in order to survive in it one had to be relentlessly logical and rigorous in one's thinking. Facts are facts, and one had to face up to them.
Is this all a bit simplistic? Sure. I'm under no illusion that I can, in the context of a single post, present a comprehensive portrait of the conservative id of the late 1990′s and early 2000′s. But I very clearly remember the conceit of movement conservatism back in those days: the facts were on our side. Knowing that conservatives had the facts, liberals would never genuinely try to argue facts but would instead impugn motives, besmirch character, obfuscate, or simply change the subject. To use a meme with a more recent derivation, "reality has a well-known conservative bias" and it was the conservative's job not to get drawn into irrelevant and meaningless distractions from the topic at hand.
And, of course, this wasn't purely fantasy. Many of my early interactions with liberals really did seem to confirm the idea that conservatives were fact-driven and analytical while liberals were, on the whole, narrative-driven and emotional. There was obviously some self-flattery in the mix, but on the issues of the day, things like welfare reform, taxation, and crime, (which, in retrospect, appear almost quaint compared to the things we're dealing with today) it seemed that conservatives were coming to their positions after a robust engagement with the facts while liberals were, on the whole, operating on based on they wished would happen.
What's been truly bizarre for someone steeped in this "serious conservatives, feckless liberals" school of thought is how entirely this has changed over the past decade. Even elite conservatives, let alone the GOP base, now quite openly proclaim their desire to go with their "gut" or "common sense," barely even making a pretense of marshaling evidence to support their conclusions. Thus you have someone like Jay Cost, in confidently predicting a Romney victory, arguing that the GOP share of the electorate would sharply increase. Why? Well here's his entire argument: " What differed [in 2008] was a drop in Republican identification from the mid-30s to the low-30s. Does anybody really expect that to persist this year? Of course not." This isn't an argument, it's just hand-waving and baseless assumption masquerading as an argument. Meanwhile, in reality, Republicans made up 32% of the electorate in the 2012 election, the exact same figure as 2008. That the Republican share of the electorate would be unchanged was blindingly obvious to anyone paying attention to the polling data.
But the most glaring example of the intellectual decline of the conservative movement has to be Jonah Goldberg's strange, and borderline incoherent, attack on Nate Silver for the crime of accurately forecasting the 2012 election. The article doesn't lend itself to easy summary, it's deliberately ambiguous and vague, but here is the conclusion, which seems representative of the overall argument being offered (as always, I encourage everyone to read the piece in full if they think I'm being uncharitable or unfair):
Don't get me wrong; I do understand that math can be ironclad. We know the decay rates of isotopes, how fast things will fall in a vacuum, what compounded interest rates will yield, and all that.
But I like to think that people are different, more open to reason, and that the soul — particularly when multiplied into the complexity of a society — is not so easily number-crunched. Obviously this is a romantic view out of step with the times. Edmund Burke, the founder of modern conservatism, lamented long ago that the "age of chivalry is gone," replaced by "that of sophisters, economists and calculators."
Still, isn't it possible that the passionate defense Silver arouses from some people on the left has just a bit more to do with the comfort he dispenses than with the sophistication of his analysis? And isn't it also possible that some of the conservatives screaming bloody murder about how his model has to be rigged are paying homage to the same cult of the numbers?
There's so much that's wrong here it's difficult to know where to start. First of all, I'd note that Goldberg doesn't appear to be making an argument that people are different from other subjects of number crunching, he's simply saying that "he likes to think" that way. Fair enough, I guess. I like to think that I'm a fabulous writer possessed of a uniquely sharp wit. I like to think a lot of things. But Goldberg's construction is a pretty transparent dodge. If Goldberg affirmatively and unambiguously stated that people are somehow unique and immune to quantitative analysis he would immediately open himself up to criticism from economists, psychologists, political scientists, sociologists and others who analyze human behavior. But he simply "likes to think" that people are somehow different from everything else and who are you to tell him otherwise?
But let's not get overly lawyerly and pedantic, let's just assume that Goldberg actually does think that people are different and that they cannot simply be fed en mass into Nate Silver's diabolical spreadsheet. Why does he think this? Are there recent elections which demonstrate that people are inherently unpredictable in their electoral choices? Are there academic studies which suggest that there is some sort of Heisenberg principle for "presidential vote choice?" Is polling itself a futile and worthless activity? No, none of that. Goldberg thinks that people can't be number crunched because of "the soul," an abstract and metaphysical concept which can't be shown to exist and which has to be accepted purely on faith. As just one consideration, among many others, Goldberg is essentially writing off the large number of Americans who don't believe in "the soul." For them his argument literally doesn't exist because they don't accept the existence its only piece of "evidence." Indeed, if we boil it down to its most basic essence, Goldberg's argument is: "You can't forecast elections because the soul." This is the "analysis" that we can expect from one the conservative movement's leading intellectuals.
Now Silver is, of course, not some sort of strange numbers deity at whose altar we all must bow. He's just a guy. A sharp guy, a well-argued guy, and a guy with an evident skill at forecasting the outcome of presidential elections, but a guy. It's fully possible that the 2016 version of Nate Silver will make some sort of mistake that will skew his model, just as it was possible that the 2012 version Nate Silver was doing the same thing. But based purely on an objective analysis of reality, Silver's model has held up exceptionally well against conservative attempts to refute it by "unskewing polls" or by arbitrarily changing the numbers so they were more GOP-friendly. Silver said X would happen, his detractors said Y would happen, and X happened. On an even deeper level, Silver's sterling record in electoral forecasting is an eloquent and crushing refutation of some truly scary and nihilistic conservative attempts to argue not simply that Silver's "model" was flawed, but that all poll data is worthless and that the very concept of polling is little better than a modern version of augury.
It might be nice to think that people are, for one reason or another, different and not subject to the same rules those that govern other large datasets. It's a sentimental and nostalgic idea, but certainly not one without appeal. However, if we look at evidence and if we consider the fact that modern polling apparently can predict how people are going to vote with a very high degree of confidence, then we're forced to come to the conclusion that, for better or worse, people can be number crunched just as easily as anything else. That doesn't have a liberal or a conservative implication: that we can use polls to predict election outcomes doesn't have anything at all to do with debates over marginal tax rates, monetary policy, budget cuts, or austerity. It doesn't prove Barack Obama right or John Boehner wrong. But, without sounding too much like a concern troll, conservatives who are actually interested in winning elections, and not in offering endless recriminations after they've already been lost, urgently need to address the intellectual rot in their midst. If they want to compete and win conservatives need to very quickly re-learn how to deal with reality. The GOP will have every opportunity to win elections down the line unless it continues to wage war on basic and apolitical concepts like quantitative analysis and polling. To ape off of the title of Goldberg's article, the GOP could use a lot more "pure reason" and a lot less emotional hand-wringing.

If last night was an example of the Blackzillians strategic skills then I give them a D-.
So much for Rashad being a perpetual number 2 at LHW. Should never have let his ego getting in the way of fighting at Jackson's.
If last night was an example of the Blackzillians strategic skills then I give them a D-.
So much for Rashad being a perpetual number 2 at LHW. Should never have let his ego getting in the way of fighting at Jackson's.
Dana to Rashaad...
I have a question.
Are there cases of fighters that seemed to absolutely lose their hunger and then they became hungry again?
Because all fighters that seemed to lose their hunger, ended retiring after a bunch of loses.
Mirko Crocop, BJ Penn, Fedor (even though he retired with 3 wins) and others. They expressed the possibility of retirement. Then they came back, mainly "because they wanted to show that they are still hungry" (Specially mIrko an BJ) and ended failing miserably.
Dana says that rashad needs to get hungry again. I don't know, I think that if a fighter really lost his hunger and he is over 30, it is extremely unlikely that he will get hungry ever again.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
I'm a fan of Rashad's (and Lil Nog for that matter), but that fight was terrible. Personally, I think now would be a great time for Evans to take another look at dropping to 185. He's definitely a force at 205, but did look like he was lacking that "fire", and a drop to 185 could revitalise him and give him a new hunger.
Coming in to the Tito fight, after over a year out, Evans was motivated and looked different than he had before. He had packed on muscle, but was still fast, and came out looking strong and fluid against Tito. The same in the Davis fight. However, I felt like he looked softer than usual on Saturday, and just didn't look on form at all.
UFC 133 Weigh-in
UFC 156 Weigh-in
I know these photos aren't perfectly comparable (if anyone has a better photo of Evans at the weigh-in, please share), but I just think Evans is showing all the signs of a guy that needs to have his career reinvigorated.
Favourite Fighters: A. Silva, Velasquez, Swanson, Bisping, W. Silva, Barnett, Faber, Dos Santos, Manuwa, McCall, Pickett & Poirier
Least-Favourite Fighters: Story, Sylvia, Browne & Lentz
0-1 on sig bets.
My boy Rashad did not look good. Hope he gets back on track, love watching him fight.
A tiger never loses sleep over the opinion of sheep.
He was going through some personal stuff during the build up and fight with Jones (divorce included). I think his time after that fight he probably he used to deal with those issues, dealing with a disappointing loss to Jones to didn't sit well either. Add that to the retirement thoughts and you got yourself a pretty fucked up Rashad.
He'll be back better than ever, he's a hardworking guy. I don't care to see him drop unless its for a big fight only. He's still easily top 3-4 at lhw imho.
Heard a rumor that Rashad attempted the 'Ambien Challenge' at UFC 156; Take 3 Ambien and try to win a professional MMA fight.
Suga' looked sweet.
Oh so he was going through personal issues??
I guess he is just making excuses right?
JDS also had personal issues including a divorce, and everybody was like "Aaaaahhhh, the Brazilian excuse, aaah he is just making excuses....."
Not only brazilians can do this stuff

The Jonesville Town Council voted Monday to postpone a vote allowing an urban archery season until their next meeting in March.
Town Manager Scott Buffkin said the town could wait one more month to make the decision, but if the Council did decide to vote in favor of the season it would have to be no later than next month in order to meet the April 1 deadline established by the state.
Under the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission's regulations, a town or city interested in participating in the 2014 urban archery season is required to submit a written request to the Commission by April 1, 2013. If the Council approved the season and amended the town weapons ordinance to allow archery equipment to be fired inside city limits, the town could allow hunting not only during the mid-January to mid-February season, but throughout the entire archery season starting in early September. That season is scheduled to begin Sept. 7, 2013.
Citing concern for safety, Commissioner Wayne Moore expressed hesitation for allowing archery within city limits and said he would prefer leaving the season only in January and February.
Commissioner Danny Lewis highlighted the need for deer population reduction by recalling several instances of town police cars that have been in accidents with deer. He mentioned that even his wife's vehicle once hit a deer.
Wildlife Resources Commission District 7 Biologist Chris Kreh sought to put Council members' minds at easy by detailing the safety of bow hunting in North Carolina.
"Archery hunting is inherently a very safe activity," he said. "North Carolina has had bow hunting for deer for…many years. There have been literally hundreds of thousands of hours of bow hunting that have taken place in the state. Thousands and thousands of deer have been harvested by many different archers in every county in the state, and there has never been and a non-hunter injured in a bow hunting accident."
"There are no guarantees; you can't say something wouldn't happen. But the track record of bow hunting is extremely safe."
The issue will be examined again in March at the next monthly Town Council Meeting.
Judy Wolfe, former Jonesville Commissioner and organizer of the upcoming Jonesville Jubilee, spoke at the meeting Monday night as well. She briefed the Council on the approaching celebration and requested that the Council consider purchasing directional signs for the event that would be posted around town to direct residents and visitors toward the highlighted areas. Prominent features in the festival will be the new greenway, the Jonesville Town Hall, and several historical sites nearby.
She also extended a formal invitation to the Council to attend. Dignitaries from the area, the state, and all across the nation have been invited. Rep. Virginia Foxx plans to attend, and an invitation has been offered to President Obama, but with no word yet on his intentions.
The Council did vote to approve the Yadkin County Solid Waste Management plan as Jonesville's chosen management plan. Every ten years a town or county has to submit a Solid Waste Management plan as part of the regulations from the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources. In keeping with the trend of other Yadkin County towns, Jonesville has voted to use the Yadkin County-approved plan rather than draft their own.
