He's a man for the big occasion, and paceman Dale Steyn is backing himself to produce the killer blows as South Africa attempt to snare a rare Test series win in Australia.
Steyn, who sits atop the ICC's Test bowler rankings, has been below par in the current series, with the 29-year-old snaring just five wickets at an average of 51.6.
It's a far cry from his career haul of 292 Test wickets at 23.98 apiece, in which his searing pace and sharp bounce have often left batsmen the worse for wear.
South Africa will retain their No.1 Test ranking if they can draw the third Test against Australia at the WACA Ground, starting Friday.
But Steyn says the tourists are determined to win just their second Test series in Australia, and he wants to be the man who delivers the goods when the moment asks for it.
"We didn't come down to Australia to draw," Steyn declared on Wednesday.
"Australia has thrown everything they can at us and they still haven't beaten us.
"If we can play to what our potential is I think we're going to go home 1-0, and that would be fantastic.
"I always pride myself on standing up and doing something when we really need it and hopefully in this game something like that can happen.
"There's a bit more want, a bit more need. It all boils down to the last five days, and that extra push.
"I'll do everything I can in this game to try and get a result and get the wickets to win this Test match."
Steyn took a day off training on Wednesday in a bid to refresh his body after bowling 40.4 overs in the drawn Adelaide Test and 30 overs in one innings in Brisbane.
The right-arm quick said his No.1 ranking among Test bowlers was more a reflection of his ability to stay injury free rather than being the most talented.
"I don't think I'm the best bowler in the world," Steyn said.
"I'm not the most skillful bowler in the world. There's probably other bowlers that are more skillful than me.
"I'm just fortunate enough that I play every game for South Africa, and I'm able to take wickets when we need them. Hopefully I can take wickets in this next game. That's what I'm employed to do, and that's what I love doing."

The Idea of Women in Fundamentalist Islam
In an attempt to create a working prevalent theory about gender in Islam, this book deconstructs the religio-political writings and political practices of the nine Islamic ideologues of the twentieth century who masterminded the resurgence of Islamic fundamentalism: Hasan al-Banna, Abu al-'A'la al-Mawdudi, Sayyid Qutb, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Ayatollah Mortaza Mutahhari, Zaynab al-Ghazali, Hasan al-Turabi, Rashid al-Ghannoushi, and Sheikh Hussein Fadlallah. It demonstrates that although these ideologues have individual peculiarities, their consistent emphasis on the subordinate status of women in society and in their relation to men constitutes a vehicle for attaining political power.
By examining the spectrum of 20th-century Islamic fundamentalist discourse on the subordinate role of women, Shehadeh builds a bridge between political ideology and gender theory. She determines how the diversity of political, social, and economic domains within the discourse of the nine ideologues--male or female, Sunni or Shi'ite, radical or moderate--applies to gender relations, and whether their discourse is distinctive or remains within the classical or traditional mold of Islam. She demonstrates that the importance given to gender issues by fundamentalist ideologues and the constraints imposed on women in society are not so much due to patriarchy as to the manipulation of such issues for purely political purposes--to assure overwhelming male support and to divert attention from the real problems of society.
Shehadeh's study, the only work that compiles and critiques the gender theory of the major Islamic fundamentalist ideologues, offers a unifying theory elucidating their stand on women's role in society and the centrality of women in their politically ideal Muslim society. This book provides new perspectives and insights into the 20th-century concept of political Islam.

SIA Flashback – What in the World is a Worldmobile?
The Worldmobile may or may not be one of the greatest mysteries in autodom, but it is certainly perplexing. Keith Marvin, who normally could turn up dirt on any Henway he crossed paths with, could only manage to find a few squibs of information about the Worldmobile, which he gathered up for a quick two-page story in SIA #79, February 1984. Can anybody add to the story?

Pretty much any video content of Ryan Lochte talking is gold-medal worthy, and we've got plenty of it this morning.
Ryan made an appearance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night, and while there were no "jeah!"s or racist comments about Asians, it's worth checking out. He talked about falling into the "diving well" (deep end) when he was 10 and discovering his talent, beating Prince Harry in a pool race in Vegas, and why he tried to wear that ridiculous grill onto the podium at the Olympics. The interview is great, but it really gets good when Jimmy challenges Ryan to a game of darts — in which they are each other's targets. Expect many overblown reactions to almost-crotch-shots, a
drunk photo of the Prince, and, of course, a super blinged-out watch.

Manufacturers and distributors of toys should be aware that a new revision of ASTM F963, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety, has just gone into effect. Changes made to the standard include revisions to the section on heavy metals, the introduction of compositing procedures, and new safety requirements and technical guidance for bath toy projections, acoustics and other potential safety hazards in toys.
Some of the key revisions in F963-11 include the following, as stated by ASTM International:
• Heavy Metals—Limits for heavy metals in toy substrates have been added to the existing surface coating requirements.
• Compositing Procedure for Total Heavy Metal Analysis—Revisions outline detailed procedures for accomplishing this end by specifying the conditions under which compositing is allowable, when a composite result may be relied upon without further testing, and when testing of individual samples must subsequently be performed.
• Bath Toy Projections—Revisions are intended to address the potential hazards that may be presented by vertical, or nearly vertical, rigid projections on bath toys. This requirement is intended to minimize possible puncture or other hazards to the skin that might be caused if a child were to fall on a rigid projection.
• Among other revised areas of the standard--are sections on jaw entrapment; toys with spherical ends; stability of ride on toys; requirements for squeeze toys attached to rings; use of cords, straps and elastics; packaging film; and yo-yo tether balls.

Shopping List
Cook sausage, beef, onions, green peppers and mushrooms until meat is no longer pink and drain. Salt and pepper the meat mixture and set aside. Preheat oven to 325. Pour melted butter in the 13x9x2 baking glass dish. Sprinkle the butter with 1 cup of cheese. Beat 12 eggs and pour over cheese. Top with the meat mixture. Cover and refrigerate and 8 hours or overnight. Remove 30 minute before baking. Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
This is a dish I make when we have breakfast at work. I make it the night before and cook it while I am getting dressed for work. By the time I get to work it is still hot and I have never had any left overs. You can even spice it up with Sierra Miguel Jalapenos. It is good.

RADNOR, Pa., Oct. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The following statement was issued today by the law firms Schiffrin Barroway Topaz & Kessler, LLP, and Janet, Jenner & Suggs, LLC:

"This Class Action was filed to protect the rights of all victims that have been wronged by the carelessness of the manufacturer, suppliers and distributors of the contaminated ground beef products. These defendant corporations must be held accountable for not protecting basic food, health and safety," said Tobias L.

A little while back, reports indicated that Microsoft would start allowing users to choose where their data was stored to alleviate privacy concerns in the fallout of the NSA scandal. While this isn't a bad idea in theory, it could end up increasing NSA surveillance, experts suggest.
As mentioned, a while back, Microsoft's General Counsel Brad Smith, said that the company wanted to start allowing customers to choose the data center they wanted their data to be stored in in light of reports that the NSA had very easy access to data centers inside the United States.
"People should have the ability to know whether their data are being subjected to the laws and access of governments in some other country, and should have the ability to make an informed choice of where their data resides," Smith said at the time.
According to ZDnet, international law specialists, privacy experts and academics fear that such a move would push the NSA to even more spying.
"Whatever data an American company collects, it can be vulnerable to be obtained by the U.S. government," said Nicole Ozer, technology and civil liberties policy director at the American Civil Liberties Union.
This means that even if data is stored elsewhere, the US government will still be able to get its hands on it because Microsoft is an American corporation.
Of course, it depends on the relationship between Microsoft's subsidiaries around the world.
"If a U.S. company stores customer data in a datacenter — wherever it is — and can retrieve it from that datacenter and move it to somewhere else of its choosing, which could be in the U.S., I would certainly see that as showing that it had control and quite possibly custody and possession of the data," said Douwe Korff, professor of international law in London.

The injuries were all minor and nobody was taken to the hospital, he said.
Alvin Copeland, 25, of Muskegon was driving his 1996 Cadillac Seville north on 148th Avenue about 1:30 p.m., when he lost control on the slippery road, crossed the center line and struck a southbound a 1992 Ford Taurus, Austin said.
Copeland was not injured, Austin said, but was ticketed for driving too fast for road conditions.
The three people in the Taurus — the driver, Randee Perry, 20; and passengers Lori Hansen, 40, and Johnnie Perry, 45 — all suffered minor injuries.

In the final step of a $70 million project to overhaul a popular Central Florida interchange, thousands of drivers on the 408 eastbound will take a new exit to 417.
Drivers are instructed to bear right on the ramp to head south toward the airport or 528 or to bear left for the flyover to 417 north toward UCF or Sanford.
The simplicity of the new exit is welcomed by drivers who share the interchange with 130,000 other drivers each day.
"It's a lot of traffic and if you're not really paying attention, you're going to miss your exit," said Shakarie Lee.
"Often times when you think you're on the 417 you might still be on the 408 going in a different direction," said Hyness Martinez.
Expressway Authority officials said the new exit, which opened Saturday, should make the interchange less difficult to navigate and reduce the number of crashes.
Drivers said the most important factor will be clear signs.
"It's not so much the ramps or how many ramps or exits they make, as long as they make it clearer," said Martinez.
Expressway officials warn drivers to use caution when approaching the ramp for the first time until they become familiar with the area.
They said drivers should not rely on GPS systems as they may not be up to date with the new configuration.
Officials said the old exit to 417 is closed.

Here's the line in the sand. If you can marry because of love and divorce because of the lack of love, how can you stop people from treating marriage as dating? Or even from using it to hold an unwilling partner in a relationship? And so on and so forth. The corruption of marriage was complete with the acceptance of divorce. As Catholics, we should focus there.

Some memorable sports moments of 2012
From a sports standpoint, I've truly enjoyed 2012, from the bowl games that kicked off the New Year through college baseball season, Friday night lights and enthralling fall Saturdays.
I've had the wonderful opportunity to cover and witness many events that stood out and people I won't soon forget:
Frank Martin lands in Columbia
A fledgling basketball program like South Carolina simply couldn't do better than Martin when it hired the new coach in March. The Gamecocks were coming off a 10-win season under Darrin Horn; Martin had just finished his fourth NCAA tournament trip in five seasons. Martin is currently undergoing a challenging rebuilding program, but the Gamecocks finally have a coach who can stop the bleeding. And he's quite entertaining to cover.
Gamecocks sweep Tigers in baseball regional
Some said it would never happen, but it did. South Carolina and Clemson met on the diamond in an NCAA tournament regional in June. Sure, two other teams were there in Columbia, but everyone expected it to be Clemson-USC with a trip to the super regionals on the line. The rivals didn't disappoint, playing two thrilling, one-run games that both went the Gamecocks' way on their route to a third College World Series appearance. It was a great showcase of college baseball for the Palmetto State.
Changes at Westside
For the first time in nearly three decades, a new coach walked the sideline at Westside. John Boggs took over for Ted Luckadoo, who retired after watching his Rams go winless in 2011. That wasn't the only difference for Westside Nation, which went on to win four games and stop a nine-game losing skid to rival T.L. Hanna. I was there the night the Rams ended their 16-game losing streak with a win over Seneca. The emotional display and end of frustration was one of the best stories of the year from this area.
Big year for Ben Boulware
The senior linebacker for T.L. Hanna is one of the fiercest hitters I've seen play prep football. His tenacity, intensity and ability led to Boulware being named as a finalist for the state's Mr. Football award and to both the Under Armour All-America Game and the U.S. Army All-America Bowl. He'll take his talents a short ways down the road to Clemson for 2013.
Marcus Lattimore's last day in a Gamecock uniform
The star USC running back's second knee injury in as many seasons ended his career as a Gamecock; he's entering the 2013 NFL Draft. And as gruesome as his injury was on Oct. 27 against Tennessee, it'll always be remembered for the massive support of Lattimore that followed. It was the first and only time I've seen the opposing team surround an injured player as a sign of respect. The outpouring of well wishes Lattimore received nationally from that day was an inspiration for more than just the hurting junior.
A surprising run and a sack-a-thon
For the Palmetto State, it gets no bigger than the South Carolina-Clemson football game, and the 2012 version on Nov. 24 will be remembered for a Gamecock backup QB and a human sack machine in USC's fourth consecutive win in the rivalry. On a called draw play in the fourth quarter, Dylan Thompson ran 20 yards on third-and-19 that led to the final score of 27-17. Clemson couldn't contain the speed and raw power of Jadeveon Clowney, who racked up 4.5 sacks that night; that set a single-game record for USC and Clemson Memorial Stadium.
What a game in Atlanta
I had the great fortune to be front and center in Atlanta when Georgia and Alabama met in the SEC Championship Game earlier this month. From the feeling I got from being on the field before kickoff, I knew we were all in for a real treat of a game. Neither side disappointed. It ended up being one of the best games I've ever seen live, with both sides trading haymakers throughout the game. The Bulldogs fell a few yards shy of pulling off a monumental upset that would've put them in the BCS title tilt.

It's no secret around here that Fall or Autumn is my favorite season followed by Spring. I love the leaves changing colors and the crisp, cool air. I simply adore the smell of wood-smoke fires burning in backyards or in my neighbors' fireplaces. Looking into the sky on a clear night shows me the beautiful twinkling stars and the Harvest moon.
My oldest son took this beautiful picture a few weeks back.
When we go on walks in the fall, the carpet on the Earth is made up of new textures which make for great sounds when you take each step, crunching the leaves or acorns.
Fall also means wonderful harvests of colorful fruits and vegetables that one can use to decorate their home with or make wonderful foods from apple pie to baked squash. Pumpkins are carved for decorations and some are used for tasty pumpkin pie.
My son was inspired by an idea in Living magazine and decorated this pumpkin for our front porch. It's a small pumpkin.
Fall always inspires me to try new foods and recipes. This weekend I would love to make some pumpkin ravioli even if I can only eat a few. If I do make them, you'll be the first to know about it.
Happy Autumn to you and yours!
The first picture includes a craft idea I found at a blog I just discovered. Please drop by Between a rock & a Hobby and check out her cute craft ideas.

Masterpiece of Beauty!
By Ruby
from Fraser Valley
Wow! This is a beautiful ring. The blue zircon is a beautiful deep shade of mediterraneon blue and surrounded by sparkling white sapphires. This is not my first blue zircon as this is one of my favourite gemstones of all time. If you have an opportunity to purchase this ring I would recommend it and do not think you will be diappointed.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

MEPI Empowers Youth in the Workforce
Mansheet Nasser is an urban area in Cairo suffering from an increasing rate of unemployment among youths, and a growing number of social problems including theft, and drug abuse. To tackle these issues and assist youths in acquiring employable skills, Social Peace Association for Environment and Development (SPAED) launched a MEPI-funded project to provide training on production of different leather products.
The targeted trainees had primary or middle school education or no education at all. Following training, many of the participants will be able to gain employment at factories. Participants displaying strong entrepreneurial potential will be supported to start their own business through micro-credit support.
Over a period of seven months, 50 unemployed youths from both genders, acquired skills in working on machinery to produce leather items, including shoes, belts, bags, and leather clothing items..
SPAED selected two trainers, who have extensive working experience in leather products and set up a vocational center with the necessary equipments,. The trainers taught the participants how to select raw material, making a pattern, cutting, assembling and sewing. The trainees had also a technical training cycle on all types of machinery and tools so they can safely and efficiently use them. The project developed participants' vocational and soft skills which will enable them to compete in the labor market.
The training also included educational sessions on topics including: leather industry history, leather unions in Egypt, safety and accident prevention at factories, leather wholesalers in Egypt, determining the price of a product, book keeping, innovation, and Egyptian labor rights. 15 women participants received literacy courses and an awareness session on sexual harassment.

Men's basketball faces Hartford in new Events Center Saturday
By : Katie Ellis
The wait will be over Saturday as the men's basketball team tips off against visiting Hartford for the first-ever Events Center function. The first women's game in the Events Center will be played Saturday, February 7, against the University of Maine.
The Men's Basketball team practices for the first time in $33.1 million Events Center, where their first game will be played Saturday against Hartford.
The Men's Basketball team practices for the first time in $33.1 million Events Center, where their first game will be played Saturday against Hartford.
The $33.1 million facility broke ground June 7, 2000, and with exceptional cooperation between contractors and the State University of New York Construction Fund, is opening for basketball well in advance of the original completion date.
"We're very excited about the opening," said Binghamton University President Lois B. DeFleur. "The Events Center will provide a perfect venue to showcase the athletic talents of our basketball teams and to welcome the community to our campus. We've been able to open the building for basketball ahead of its full completion because of the cooperation between the State University Construction Fund, Welliver McGuire contractors and our Physical Facilities department."
Anthony Ferrara, vice president for administration, praised the cooperation among all those involved in getting the Events Center built.
"The contractual date for the SUCF to turn the Events Center over to us isn't until April and we'll have an official dedication sometime that month," Ferrara said. "But a lot of hard, detailed work had to happen to get us into the building for basketball eight to nine months early. We're all proud of what has been accomplished here."
Joel Thirer, director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics, has been looking forward to this date for a long time. "This opening is the culmination of many, many years of hard work by a lot of people," he said. "It's thrilling and extremely fulfilling to have it all come together this way."
Fans at Saturday's game can expect a brief ceremony prior to the opening tip off. DeFleur and Thirer will be joined by State Sen. Thomas Libous, SUNY Chancellor Robert King and America East Commissioner Chris Monasch on the court before the teams begin their final warm up.
Phase I construction to ready the building for basketball brings the court and locker rooms on line, as well as two of the three concession stands, a media room, the box office, a gift shop and seating on the east, west and south sides of the facility.
Phase II construction will continue in some parts of the building through the spring and summer. Phase II will see completion of strength and conditioning rooms, the remainder of the locker rooms, the addition of north-end bleachers and some special Bearcat Box seating.
Saturday's game will draw the largest crowd ever to see a basketball game on campus. Chair-backed seats are sold out but last-minute fans might still be able to purchase tickets for bench seating. Ticket information is available by calling the basketball box office at 777-SLAM (7526).

Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo halted the championship march of Repsol Honda's Casey Stoner with a runaway win in the San Marino Grand Prix at the Misano Circuit in Italy with a pair of Yamaha legends looking on. Lorenzo slipped by the pole-sitter Stoner into turn one and began to control the pace in a race that began with a few drops of rain and threatening skies. Stoner and teammate Dani Pedrosa stuck with the Majorcan for the first six laps, at which point Pedrosa seemed to be falling off the pace. Already Ducati Marlboro's Nicky Hayden was out, having crashed on the third lap.Soon the rain would stop, the track would dry, and the lap times would fall. Lorenzo added half a second to his lead on the 12th lap when he set a new circuit record of 1:33.906. That put the gap to Stoner over a second and it continued to grow as Stoner began to tire. He'd later explain that the back to back races, as well as a few sleepless nights since last weekend's Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix, had left him short of energy.
Lorenzo piled on the laps and crossed the finish line with 7.299 secs. in hand, much to the delight of Yamaha world champions Giacomo Agostini and Wayne Rainey, both of whom were watching from his pit box. Rainey returned to the track for the first time since his career-ending injury in the 1993 Misano Grand Prix.By then Stoner was no longer in second. Pedrosa took advantage of the fading Australian and the teammates swapped positions on the 24th of 28 laps. Pedrosa continued to pull away, putting 4.668 secs. between himself and Stoner.Pedrosa explained that the team had tried a different set-up and that it hadn't worked.
"From the first lap I see I couldn't push," he said. "I had a lot of front closings, so I wasn't able to force the bike on the entry of the corner and then I started to lose the place. I was off the pace for almost the whole race, but at the end I could catch Casey (Stoner) in the last laps and get second place."Stoner said he was happy with the performance of his Repsol Honda RC212V while sitting behind Lorenzo at the start, when a very light rain was falling. Once the rain stopped and the track dried, "we both started running faster lap times and I felt comfortable. Felt like the bike, everything, was working really well. We'd hit a good set-up. But then maybe halfway through the race when I felt like I was starting to get a feel for things, then all of a sudden I just started getting tired. My arms were struggling on the brakes. Ran wide a couple times and then started braking earlier, which lost me more time and just sort of built from there. I tried to keep a nice constant pace. I wasn't ever going to be able to catch Jorge again, but just to try and stay ahead of Dani. But just trying to keep that pace just made me more and more tired."I think after these last few races and a few bad nights sleep between Indy and now didn't really help and I think for the next race we'll be fine again. It was a tough race for sure today."The win halted Stoner's win streak at three and prevented him from adding to his points lead. With his third win of the season, Lorenzo took nine points out of Stoner's championship lead to cut it to 35 with five races to go.The battle for fourth was the hardest fought, the most entertaining, and the one that went to the line. The final lap began with Andrea Dovizioso (Repsol Honda) in front of San Carlo Honda Gresini's Marco Simoncelli and Yamaha's Ben Spies. Simoncelli went under Dovi in turn four, with Dovi briefly taking it back before Simoncelli forced his way back into third. The trio was three-wide going into the next corner with Dovizioso just in front before Simoncelli again asserted himself. "Super Sic" held off the advances of his longtime rival to take fourth, with Dovi fifth and Spies fifth.In a race held near his home in Tavullia, Ducati Marlboro's Valentino Rossi was alone in seventh and well in front of Rizla Suzuki's Alvaro Bautista.The next two across the line were Mapfre Aspar Team MotoGP's Hector Barbera and Monster Yamaha Tech 3's Cal Crutchlow. San Carlo Honda Gresini's Hiroshi Aoyama was 11th at the team's home race with Karel Abraham 12th. Monster Yamaha Tech 3's Colin Edwards was seventh early before fading to 13th.MotoGP Results:1.

Oregon governor's bees abandon hive
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon's "first honeybees" have abandoned their home at the governor's mansion in Salem.
The Willamette Valley Beekeepers Association installed a hive this spring in the backyard of Mahonia Hall after pitching the idea to Gov. John Kitzhaber and his companion, Cylvia Hayes.
The bees seemed to be thriving as of two weeks ago, more than 60,000 bees were in the hive and beekeepers removed about 35 pounds of honey. But keepers told the Statesman Journal newspaper on Friday that the bees were gone.
"You can do everything humanely possible and still you can lose your bees," said Richard Farrier, president of the Beekeepers Association. "It's a horrible struggle."
Farrier caught the governor's bees from the front yard of an attorney's house and has been caring for the insects along with beekeeper Fran Lushenko.
He suspects the bees escaped varroa mites, a parasite that feeds on the blood of bees and is known for spreading a virus that causes wing and abdominal deformities. As he examined the bottom of the hive Friday, Farrier placed a tiny reddish-brown mite in the palm of his hand.
"No wonder they get upset," he said. "Those things chewing on you would drive you crazy."
Honeybee researcher Ramesh Sagili, an assistant professor at Oregon State University's Department of Horticulture, said mites, viruses and a gut parasite called Nosema are common reasons why beekeepers lose their colonies, especially between October and April.
Mahonia Hall has been the state's official home for governors since 1988. Kitzhaber, however, has maintained his house in Portland and the couple does not live full-time at the south Salem estate.
Fred VanNatta, a member of the Beekeepers Association, said installing the hive at the governor's mansion was a way to educate Oregonians about urban beekeeping.
"People are concerned when they see a colony of bees in their neighborhood," VanNatta said. "The fact that there's a colony of bees behind the White House and behind the governor's house helps educate people that they aren't dangerous."

Docklow is a 100% family business, where over the years we have made many many friends. Heres a bit of background on us…
Mike Bozward – Owner
In 1972, Mike & Josie bought the farm with the intention of one day making it into a fishery. In the 70's he commuted daily to Longbridge in Birmingham to work in the toolroom at British Leyland over 40 miles away. Upon returning home after a long day & drive he would then start again, and begin farming. "West End Farm" was a complete ruin in the 70's so to see "Docklow" as it is now is an incredible transformation. You can occasionally find him in the bar of an evening having a relaxing pint of mild chatting with guests and friends.
Mike with Broadcaster & Celebrity Angler Keith Arthur – October 2008
Apart from food, Mike enjoys all the country sports from fishing to shooting, but loves spending time on the river banks or down by the lakes. All the thousands of trees at Docklow have been planted by him, and apparently he grows a mean cucumber!
His favourite quotation is "I don't even own a mobile phone!….."
Biggest fish – Has the River barbel record caught on the River Wye 12lb
Josie Bozward – Owner
Josie was born and raised locally in Worcester so it was a bit of a shock to get married and become a farmer vertually immediately.
She has many stories about how the family was raised, and how she and Mike single handly transformed an old bog and run down farm into the fishery. Whilst Mike was working in Birmingham, Josie
A self confessed fan of Billy Jo Spears, regularly on a saturday she enjoys a good jive, if she can find a partner! Always the first on the dancefloor.
All the delicious homemade desserts made in the restaurant are made by Mrs Bozward. Hope you enjoy them!
Simon Bozward
Simon is an avid Aston Villa supporter who has watched the good but mostly the bad at Villa park over the years.
He owns the tackle shop which in its self is very impressive and stocks all the leading baits and tackle. Also fancies himself as a bit of a fisherman, and has toured France, Spain and Ireland in recent years in search of big fish. Although from the tales back it sounds more social than anything else!
Jonathan Bozward
The eldest son, Jonathan returned to answer the phone and fixing tv areials in 2009. He officially retired from his London Private Bank duties after 20 years in London and the West Midlands, June 2008 to enjoy a different standard of living in the countryside. Or so he thought….
Although not much of an Angler now, as a teenager he finished 2nd in the Docklow Annual Cup match, losing by a few ounces, was a member of the infamous Docklow Danglers that won every match in the Herefordshire league for 2 years back in the 80's and if that wasn't enough won seven Residents matches consecutively before starting work in the Bank. A record that is held today….. or so he says! (Book eight weeks holiday and try and beat him?)
A supporter of United (Hereford that is) with his biggest fish, a large Barbel off the River Wye. Fishing tactics include the Daily Telegraph and an Ipod.
"Dog" Ellis
Ellis joined our fold in 2006, as a young pup. He's the luncheon meat muncher, and is partial to 8mil cubes. He definately has a dog's life and is always roaming the farm, making new friends and chasing wildlife.
He is named after the Aston Villa chairman Deadly Doug Ellis, so guess who's dog he belongs to?
Rob Bufton
Is another local lad and the jack of all trades. Rob does the bar three nights a week and can be found with a chainsaw or lawn mover in hand mostly helping Simon with all the out door jobs.
He believes in supporting local football teams, so follows Arsenal and Leeds?…interesting!
He is also a keen fisherman, fishing the Major Bill on his days off. So he is one of the few Bar man in life who actually talks the truth about his fishing!
You can hear Nat's father if your fishing on the match Pool working at his Land Rover business. After a disguished school career at the local Minster school, and obtaining a degree in History, she helps light up a bar room with her cheeky grin and smile.. She is one of super bar ladies a couple of nights a week.

Nat is now working for Herefordshire education in the week as her 9 to 5 role. So no more baggy jeans and hoodies for work
Nat achieved a stunning Honours degree last year from Oxford on the impact of 19th century suicide!…. Well done Nat
Joined us in the summer of 2015
Lindsay & Louise
We've got the whole family near enough working here now, as Lindz and Louise are sisters. Both ladies are absolutely great!…but we would say that wouldnt we!
Johnny Irwin
John works in the shop Thursday through to Sunday. He is the pools guru so if you want to know what method or how its fishing, he is definately the man to ask. John is a very good angler himself, or at least that what he tells everyone. His favourite lake is the Moby Dick (which is close to his caravan!).
His biggest fish is a 24lb 10oz Common Carp.
John with a nice barbel caught on our river teme stretch
A very sporty and friendly chap, who is partial to a couple of pints of Mild in the bar in the week. Just dont get him onto football, you'll be there all night!
Nigel Dovey
"Dove" works Saturday & Sunday mornings doing all the odd jobs. Catch him while you can! Although not a fisherman, Nige is a big sports fan enjoying football mostly. This is another one of Mike's school friends from the 60's Bromyard days! Certainly is a job for the boys!
Neil Wall
Neil joined us in March 2011, and we truly believe he'll be great for us at Docklow. The feedback so far has been really refreshing and customers are coming regularly both on holiday and locally to taste his food.
Unfortunately he's Mr Nice guy, but Jonathan and Simon are trying to harden him up!

New Year's Eve: Easy Tips to Make a Successful Party!
"The best hosts spin magic out of thin air, creating the kind of special occasion guests can't stop talking about." –Emily Post
By now you probably already have your New Year's Eve planned out. Looking back over the past 5 years, we've always had a wonderful party in our home, celebrating with
great friends.
It takes work to entertain successfully. But if you plan ahead and put thought and preparation into the night, the party will become a labor of love for YOU and your guests!
Here are a few tips to help simplify your NYE party:
Invite and Delegate:
Don't feel like you have to prepare all of the food yourself. Share the menu, share the expense, share the load by having your guests contribute to the meal.
Be Creative and Borrow:
Push tables together, borrow chairs and tablecloths if you don't have them. Think about whether you want to serve a sit-down meal or buffet-style.
Be Organized and Think Ahead:
Set staging areas where you'll have water, champagne, appetizers, and even a little basket with miscellaneous items you might need (lighter for candles, scissors, and in my case a little notebook that has all the party details and place setting info).
Easy Flow and Name Tags:
Tie your guests' name tags to their water glasses. Ask each guest to be responsible for their water glass throughout the night.
Conversation and Music:
Of course think ahead to some stimulating questions to ask your guests, and utilize Pandora.com for your background music.
What to Wear:
NYE is a time to put on a black dress and dress yourself up a bit. The nice thing about black dresses is that they don't usually go out of style and you can wear them year after year. (My friends Jenny and Carrie, and my son Garrett – all in black.)
What a better way to celebrate a year full of blessings and possibly even hard times, by being together with our special friends. Even though there are ways to create a smooth dinner party, when I think about a successful party, I think about the people. I don't worry about the dishes or everything matching perfectly, or the meal having to be "gourmet."
I want people at my table who are going to get down to the nitty-gritty of life and share their hearts.
Our journey through life is partly about becoming real and honest and sharing and celebrating.
What are your NYE plans this year? Have you thought about hosting a dinner party and sharing the load with your guests?

You said, "Our journey through life is partly about becoming real and honest and sharing and celebrating." This struck a chord deep inside my spirit tonight. I couldn't agree more!!
As for NYE: Our 90 days through the Bible small group has been meeting on Fri. nights. We decided to go ahead and meet as our group to usher in the new year… together. We are all sharing the load by bringing specific items for a family potluck dinner. Very much looking forward to it!
Appreciated your tips and words of wisdom… as usual! :-) Happy New Year to you and your family!

We have spent the last few years celebrating New Year's Eve with my in-laws….a bunch of friends and family. Something to do as a family, which is a good thing at this stage. I am considering having a "left-over party" maybe over the weekend. Drop in with whatever left-over's you have in your fridge….or a pizza…and do one last cheer before moving onto the real world next week. (I always end up throwing things out once the holidays are wrapped up….thought I might avoid it this way)
Happy New Year to you and yours!
A leftover party is a great idea! I'll be there on Saturday with my cheese ball remnants… lol xo

We've invited 2 families over, so there will be a total of 17 people including us. We're just going to do appetizers/snacks/desserts. It will be simple, and our house will be overflowing, but the purpose is to be hospitable and enjoy times with friends. So I'm going to do my best and remember what I've learned from you…and relax and enjoy the night.

I've only tried to organize a NYE party once and no one wanted to come so I never had the nerve to organize one again! Thanks for these tips!! I think they are fabulous suggestions. I may just have to try to plan one again!!

I'm realizing that bc we host our family for Thanksgiving but then have a quiet Christmas, hosting a New Year's Eve dinner/party is a great idea…. Will remember for next year! Happy New Year Sandy…. Love your pics and looks like {just as in years past} you'll have a great time Friday night!!!

I much prefer the stay at home and have people in for New Year's eve approach to celebrating the new year. This year we are hosting a party for my daughters and their friends (pre-teens/teens)—my how times have changed around here!
Happy New Year!

We don't normally make NYE plans. But this year we are practicing hospitality! We have invited another couple to come over after our tiny ones are in bed and share a meal and a few dozen games of Wii.

Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you, simply thank you.
Every single time I visit your site, I feel bathed in grace. You have a certain kind way of wording ideas and thoughts. It is honestly a true pleasure to see what you are up to.
Thank you for sharing your spirit.
Happy New Year to you and yours and I look forward to following you and sharing your site with others.
Cheers! Mrs. Wilson

We are staying home- with sick kids! We'll probably be able to watch the fireworks from our windows, though, and perhaps I can eek a win out in Scrabble! :)

In the past we've done things with the youth, but the last few years we've gone to friends house to celebrate. It's honestly been nice to spend the holiday with peers and our kids. Playing Bingo, doing Just Dance on the wii and enjoying great conversation. This year they're doing a popcorn theme and asking everyone to bring a creative "popcorn" treat and they will vote on the best. Of course having "real" food as well. I'm bringing caramel corn that has crispix in it as well and we're going to add mm's to it. I'm also bringing a layered taco dish….looking forward to a great time.

You know we have NEVER hosted a New Year's Eve Party, we have always spent it with dear friends, one of two couples at parties at their homes. And they always delegate, pot luck style and we have always had a great time. As I was thinking about this I realized the reason why we have never hosted the New Year's Eve Party…… my birthday is on January 1st, and we have always had an open house for it, sometimes serving pizza, sometimes hoagies, but in the last 6 or so years we have just put a big pot of soup on, made a big salad, and cooked french bread, and had a great time. Spending time with your family and friends is what it is all about no matter where you are. So with this I send Happy New Year Blessings to You and Yours,
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. the name tags on the glasses …….. A great idea!!!!

We got a sitter!!! Not easy to come by when you've been told your kids are great birth control:):) So, YAY!!! I am so excited!! We are going to spend it eating chinese food and playing games with friends and family!!! Honestly we could be going through the McDonald's drive thru with no kids and I would be excited:):)
On a deeper note, my husband and I love to look back and see how God has blessed us over the past year… even with EXTREME hardships and challenges, it's fun to look for the bright spots God has gifted us with. He is so good… even when life seems so heavy and oppressing it's hard to breath… He is our hope! Here's to another great year of trusting Him and finding Hope in a chaotic journey:)

I know one way that would insure a wonderful party. . . invite Sandy Coughlin! How I wish I could have you here. I'd take you over to Duke–let you get a peek into Cameron Indoor Stadium and possibly even say "hi" to Kyle. . . tour Duke Chapel. . . and then come back here for some good old-fashioned visiting! How does that sound?
NYE is sometimes a big-party event for us, sometimes small. This year we're having six of our closest friends over for a late dinner party. Our two older boys will be gone, so we'll just have our 13-year-old at home with us. He has a tradition of inviting one particular friend over for NYE every year, so he's doing that again. :)
I hope 2011 is a wonderful year for you!
- #15
We are going to a friends home, who are truly great entertainers. There will be a Texas Hold E'm tournament and I'm brining my famous cupcakes and maybe something else depending on time tomorrow. Have a great New Year Sandy, I've been able to do so much more because of you.

I've invited some former classmates over along with their families. We have all managed to stay close since the…umm..19 years since graduation. One of them is home visiting family and I pulled together a mini reunion of sorts. I think there will be 5 families (approx. 22 people). I go to church with one of my classmates and I asked them to bring bread, but everyone else lives OOT so I'm doing the rest. I struggled with the menu, I wanted it to be special yet something adults and children would both like. I went old school and decided to serve Lasagna, Crunchy Romaine Salad, French Bread, and a Brownie Trifle and Blueberry Cheesecake for dessert. I'm going to have an appetizer table set up with Chex Mix (because we all love it!), Hot Jalapeno Popper Dip, and Sausage Balls. I've got the playroom ready to go with the Wii and art activities for the kids. I'm sure I'll have my camera around my neck most of the night too. I hope everyone feels warm and welcome in our home. I'll be using some of your tips to make sure my guests know how important they are to me. Wishing all of you a big Happy New Year!….Btw, my scarf came in the mail today and it's perfect! I just happened to pick Maroon and will be wearing it as I cheer on my beloved MS State Bulldogs on Saturday! Thanks again!

We are doing our traditional fondue party with friends. It is kept simple as the fodue cheese is shredded in advance and placed in a Ziploc along with flour and spice…the garlic and wine are added at the last minute. Easy peasy and elegant!

Hey Sandy!
I love all of your party ideas and OH SO EASY! I don't know why I haven't stopped by before. Stacey has told me so much about you b/c she tells me you and I have many of the same interests. I produce The 700 Club and have had your husband on a few years back… and I'm Stacey's best friend. I blog in my spare time about many of the same things that you do! Love all your ideas and nice to "meet" you!

I have always wanted to host a lovely big NYE party, but always end up going out which is wonderful & special in its own right. Maybe 2011 will be 'the year' to host my own NYE Party. Happy New Year to you., hope its the best one yet :)

Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
With the exception of the eventarchive, the rest are quite straightforward. On our SIM, there is no default sub folder under the eventarchive folder. What we have is a numeric value, so the folder structure looks something like this
The 05 I know stands for the month and the 01 is for the day, but what does the 293800 stand for? Also, I plan to write a script to backup the eventarchive folder by month, but I'm concerned that if I hardcode the 293800, it may change?
Appreciate any advice on this issue pls.
Tks in advance
That value is the ID of the Archive. In SSIM 4.5, when an archive is created, it is given a unique ID. These are non-editable values. One archive and associated ID is created per appliance. This value will not change.
Note: In SSIM 4.6, the archives will be placed in folders based the path the user creates to the Archives. You can also have up to 16 archives created per appliance in 4.6.

Sony is expected to bring to the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week a new set of devices running under Google's Android operating system, including the already leaked Sony Xperia U and Xperia P devices.
These mobile phones, spotted at large before under the codenames of ST25i "Kumquat" and LT22i "Nypon," respectively, are expected to arrive on shelves with the same Iconic Identity design that Xperia S was made official with last month at CES.
In fact, as can be seen in the photos attached to this article, courtesy of ePrice, the Sony Xperia U (ST25i 'Kumquat') smartphone appears like a smaller version of the Xperia S device.
The new mobile phone will arrive on shelves with a 3.5-inch touchscreen display on the front, while the already announced handset packs a 4.3-inch panel on the front.
According to the guys over at XperiaBlog, the upcoming Xperia P (LT22i 'Nypon') will sport a similar design as well, although nothing has been official confirmed on the matter.
The Xperia U hasn't been officially unveiled for the time being, but some info on its possible hardware specifications has already made it on the web.
Thus, the handset is expected to hit the market with a 1GHz dual-core application processor inside, as well as with the said 3.5-inch display, capable of delivering a 480 x 854 pixels resolution.
The mobile phone is also rumored to sport a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with support for video recording (most probably in HD resolution). The usual set of connectivity capabilities will be packed inside this device too.
Sony has already confirmed plans to unveil to the world a new series of Xperia smartphones at the forthcoming MWC 2012 expo, but hasn't so far provided clues on what it might launch. Xperia U should become an affordable Android smartphone, but high-end Xperia devices might also be announced at the event.

Basketball Preview: Georgetown vs. Louisville
When: Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. Where: MCI Center (20,600) TV: espn2 (Hoyanet Ch. 43) Radio: WGAY (1260 AM)
All-Time Series: Louisville leads, 2-1.
Last Meeting: Georgetown won, 50-46, on Mar. 27, 1982, in the NCAA tournament semifinal at Seattle.
Notes: In these two teams' last meeting, Georgetown took down Louisville to advance to the National Championship game. Eric Smith paced the Hoyas' attack with 14 points, and Sleepy Floyd added 13 as Georgetown defeated the 1980 National Champions. The defensive battle was back and forth all the way until the end, but a young Hoya squad led by sophomore Patrick Ewing was victorious in one of the great Final Four battles in history.
Louisville stands at 11-8 on the season, 3-5 in conference, but is reeling after losing three consecutive games. The Cardinals followed up a disappointing home loss to UNC-Charlotte with a loss to top-ranked Cincinnati and a four-point road loss to St. Louis. Louisville does sport quality victories over North Carolina, DePaul and Utah, however.
The Cardinals are led by senior swingman Tony Williams, who is averaging 15.3 points per game, 6.3 rebounds per game and 3.1 assists per game. Freshman Reece Gaines runs the point for the Cardinals and is a little bit turnover prone, averaging more than three turnovers per game.
Georgetown is coming off a 16-point victory over Rutgers on Saturday that broke a two-game losing streak. Braswell dished out nine assists and Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje paced the Hoyas with 19 points as Georgetown rolled to victory in the second half. Just as important, shooting guard Anthony Perry scored 16 points, the most he has scored in Big East play since a two-point loss to Providence last season.
The Hoyas took a step in the right direction on Saturday, and it is important to keep things headed upwards against a reeling Louisville squad. The Cardinals are 2-5 on the road this season, so a loud home crowd could help the Hoyas get a little winning streak started.

A car and motorcycle collided at Savidge and Park streets at about 4:15 p.m.
Shortly after that, a police car headed to the first crash collided with a car farther east on Savidge Street.
Traffic was backed up in both directions on Savidge and Exchange streets after the crashes.
The motorcyclist, 24-year-old Nick Kolosa of Grand Rapids, had spent the day at the Grand Haven beach and was headed home, according to his friends. Kolosa was driving east on Savidge when a car turned left off Park Street onto Savidge and hit the motorcycle.
He was taken by ambulance to North Ottawa Community Hospital where he was treated and released, a hospital official said.
The driver of the car was not injured.
Sgt. Curt Theune of the Spring Lake/Ferrysburg Police Department was driving to the scene of the first crash when his patrol car crashed with a white Dodge Grand Caravan at the intersection of Savidge and Lake streets. Theune was taken to North Ottawa Community Hospital by ambulance with minor injuries, Village Manager Chris Burns said. He was treated and released, a hospital official said Wednesday morning.
The four occupants of the van refused treatment at the scene.
John Hazlett of Spring Lake said his daughter, Kara Hamm, was driving the van.
"We live in Strawberry Point," he said. "She was coming over to visit after she picked up the kids."
Hazlett said two of his grandchildren had slight scratches.
Hamm said she was going to take them to the hospital to be checked.
A witness said the police car was westbound on Savidge with siren and overhead lights on, and all but one car had pulled over on both sides of Savidge. The van was heading north on Lake with a green light and apparently did not see the police car approaching the intersection.
Michelle Allard said she was at a nearby ice cream store when she saw the police car approaching from the east.
"He was going pretty fast. That caught my attention," she said. "He slowed down to go around a car. As he was doing that, the van came through and hit the police car."
Hazlett said his daughter didn't hear the siren. She proceeded with the green light and struck the police car.
The Ottawa County Sheriff's Department is investigating the crash involving the Spring Lake/Ferrysburg police car.

At a time when the governance of football clubs has never been more controversial, the Arsenal board will this season actively promote a scheme that will further encourage fan representation and plurality of ownership at the club.
The support for 'Arsenal Fanshare' from Stan Kroenke, Alisher Usmanov, Danny Fiszman and Lady Bracewell-Smith, who between them own almost 88 per cent of the shares, is particularly significant as it strongly suggests that no takeover is imminent.
At present, shares in Arsenal are trading for around £10,000 each, valuing the club at more than £600 million and ensuring that representation is out of reach for most ordinary fans.
Under the new scheme, however, fans will be able to pay as little as £10 a month to purchase a fraction of a share. Those collective fractions will then be used to purchase shares in the company.
In the short-term, the aim is to increase the representation of supporters as a means of influencing and safeguarding the club's values.
In the longer term, the scheme could become sufficiently popular to bring boardroom representation or even get past the 25 per cent mark that would represent a 'blocking' stake to major changes to the club's ownership, such as a private takeover.
The aim is not for Arsenal to be taken over by fans, but to enable more supporters to have genuine power and involvement over the club's future.
Such checks and balances are absent from the various privately-owned models of many rivals clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea or Manchester City.
"As football became a bigger and bigger business, few fans were able to retain a share in the ownership of their clubs," said Tim Payton, a board member of Arsenal Fanshare.
"The result has been that the fans' voice on matters affecting their clubs' futures has grown weaker and weaker.
"But at Arsenal, the idea of custodianship is central to the club's unique character. Custodianship is our responsibility as Arsenal fans to look after the club's values and spirit, and keep them safe for future generations."
Stock market rules prevent the club from explicitly recommending the scheme, but they will provide space in the club's match-day programme and also the electronic advertising boards within the Emirates Stadium.
The four years at Arsenal since the move from Highbury have been characterised by considerable boardroom upheaval, as well as the arrival of two billionaire investors in Kroenke and Usmanov, but chief executive Ivan Gazidis is not expecting major changes in the foreseeable future.
He also believes the ownership structure has been enhanced by the existence of small investors, who make up just over 12 per cent of the overall shareholding.
"I don't see anything dramatic happening in the ownership but of course that can change," said Gazidis.
"We have four major shareholders and many hundreds of smaller shareholders and I am glad that we do have the participation of those shareholders as well. I don't sense that there will be any dramatic changes."
Kroenke, an American sports team owner, is the largest individual shareholder with a stake of 29.9 per cent.
He is then followed by Usmanov, an Uzbek oligarch with just over 26 per cent, Danny Fiszman on 16.1 per cent and Lady Bracewell-Smith on 15.9 per cent.
The balance of power is currently held by Kroenke and Fiszman, who are both on the club's board, with Usmanov and Lady Bracewell-Smith denied a place among directors despite their combined stake of 42 per cent.
Lady Bracewell-Smith has put her 15.9 per cent stake up for sale through Blackstone, a global financial services company, but would like to sell her shares in one block and has been unable to attract a buyer.
If they were able to raise enough money, it is conceivable that she may be willing to sell some of her stake to Arsenal Fanshare.
With Uefa introducing new 'financial fair-play' rules to stop clubs spending more than they earn, Arsenal believe their ownership model, which already includes significant fan representation via the Arsenal Supporters' Trust, fits with the changing new ethos in football.
"I think we are moving into a post-materialistic world," said Gazidis.
