Musings from the stand (some might try to call it a Match Report).......
Both sides took time to settle on a pitch that had uneven and unpredictable bounce and it was twelve minutes before Gosport had an opportunity when Dan Woodward was put through by Justin Bennett but his shot went straight to Jason Mellor. With a long clearance from Jason and a favourable bounce Leigh Edwards-Samuels was able to return the compliment when he shot straight at Nathan Ashmore in the Gosport goal.
Steve Claridge, making one of his home appearances for Gosport had a good chance to get on the score sheet on twenty one minutes but his effort from within the six yard box brought a point blank save from Jason Mellor, one of several such saves in this game.
Both sides had the opportunity to go in at half time with a lead but some unfortunate finishing and uneven bounce prevented either side establishing this position. Although Clevedon played some excellent football and at times outplayed Gosport, with Lloyd Mills in particular overshaddowing Steve Claridge and keeping him out of the game for a lot of the time.
The second half continued in the same vein as the first with both sides creating chances and squandering them, the pick of the misses were an effort from Nathan Kirby on sixty nine minutes which was cleared off of the line by Cameron Ricketts and on seventy three minutes a shot from inside the six yard box from Justin Bennett that struck the outside of the post and rebounded to him, his snap shot was blocked by Jason Mellor and the second rebound back to Bennett he managed to blast wide of the goal for a goal kick.
With the game appearing to be heading for a draw, Clevedon had a free kick just inside of the Gosport half, the ball was played to Henry Muggeridge who put in a beautiful cross to the penalty area where Reeko Best placed a glancing header that beat Ashmore in the Gosport goal and went in off the post.
Almost immediately Gosport hit back when a corner from Nathan Kirby found Justin Bennett in the box and his firm header beat Jason Mellor on the far post to bring the scores level. In the dieing minutes of the game Clevedon had a chance to snatch all three points when a scintillating run down the left by Reeko Best saw him pull the ball back inside to beat the defender and his first time shot was tipped round the near post by a diving Nathan Ashmore for another corner to Clevedon.
The game ended shortly after at 1-1 with Clevedon still taking the game to their hosts to earn a very well deserved point and a big boost to their confidence ahead of the Cup Final first leg on Tuesday. Well done to the whole squad who proved yet again what application and commitment can do against a team much higher up the league.
Man of the Match - for some of the best saves I have seen for a long while, Jason Mellor.

Car firm's pay rise to halt union drive (From This Is Wiltshire)
Car firm's pay rise to halt union drive
5:00am Wednesday 7th May 2014 in
A THREE per cent rise has been offered to workers at TS Tech in an effort to stem the flow of staff joining Unite.
The car seat manufacturer, which supplies Honda of the UK Manufacturing (HUM) in South Marston, announced it would bump up wages by three per cent last Wednesday.
Earlier that day, Unite, the union which is trying to boost its membership at the factory in an effort to gain official recognition, distributed a newsletter exposing the absence of a pay rise in April's payslips, the month which traditionally includes an annual rise for staff there.
Officers at the union have said the eventual rise was decided in a crisis meeting, called after the newsletter was given to workers, in an effort to deter staff from joining the ranks of the union.
Matt Hill, the officer leading Unite's charge for more members at TS Tech since February, said: "They (TS Tech) told the workforce the pay rise was planned all along, but I know a meeting was called for 4pm that afternoon, when it was decided.
"They did it because they knew people were going to start joining the union because they hadn't had a pay rise.
"They accused us of using propaganda to sway their workers, but we were simply highlighting the facts."
As a supplier to HUM, TS Tech has been under scrutiny since the car maker announced in March that it would be slashing 500 jobs.
Unlike South Marston Distribution Centre (SDC), another of HUM's suppliers, TS Tech has remained tight-lipped on how many jobs would go at its factory, but estimates suggest two-thirds of all agency staff would be cut to reduce costs.
The last of those agency staff to leave the business are likely to work their last day next Monday, when the Highworth firm has suggested it would have announced the pay rise, out of sensitivity to those leaving.
Mr Hill said: "They haven't shown any sensitivity in bringing replacements in alongside the temporary staff and showing them how to do their job whilst the temp still stands there.
"They may have had the pay rise ready to go, but they only announced it on the day we put our newsletter out."
TS Tech was unavailable for comment.

Join Unite..... Then you can all wave goodbye to your jobs. Unions represent themselves. They care not one jot for the working man.
people there would not be a union .

CraigClark says...
Pay increases, whatever the percentage and regardless of the numbers of staff are simply not decided in a short afternoon meeting, which may I add was actually held at 9am to discuss the issue of announcing the pay rise to staff following unites actions that morning. It was decided in previous meetings that the announcement of the pay increase would be put off until the temporary workers had finished their roles as it was insensitive and morally wrong, which I whole-heartedly agree with.
Unions has have no understanding of how manufacturing business work, they are using this time of economic uncertainty to benefit themselves. If it was possible to upload an image of the newsletter, I would and you could see this for yourself.
TS Tech have been shown in bad light by Unites advertiser report which is unfair. They can only employ the numbers that's required by the production volume required. It's that simple! Now what unite fail to mention is that associates have received pay increases annually for many years as well as substantial financial bonuses at Christmas as well as Christmas gifts and summer bonuses in better performing years.
I hope Matt Hill of Unite reads this, not that he'd have much to add.

Who's Hotter: Ryan Seacrest or Keith Urban?
April 02, 2014 01:37 PM by Anna Sanclement
It's time for another American Idol Who's Hotter battle again and this time it's between Ryan Seacrest and Keith Urban. For those fans in the loop, you may already know that Keith Urban won the battle with Harry Connick Jr. So, now it's time to find out if Urban's hotness can plow over Seacrest's.
The Idol host may not have the chance to critique contestants and give his opinion on who he thinks is best at singing, but he does have his share of consoling those that get sent home, or to cheer on the ones that get voted in.
But, now it's time to see which of the two hotties sizzles the most, is it Seacrest or will it be Urban again?
Professionally, Seacrest has an extensive history on radio and television. The 40-year-old host has appeared and produced countless TV shows and has even received Emmy Award nominations for Idol and won the Emmy for producing Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution.
In high school he was known as the "Voice of Dunwoody High School," as the school's morning public announcer. He went on to win an internship with a local radio station at the age of 16, getting trained as a radio personality by Tom Sullivan.
Never having married, Seacrest has dated a slew of girls, but most famously he went out with pro-dancer Julianne Hough of Dancing With the Stars for over two years. Fans were convinced it was serious enough for the pair to get married, but they split up a year ago, claiming they were both too busy to pursue their relationship.
Good-looking married guys with kids have an added hotness to them, but when they are single like Seacrest, they can also go up the scale as they are free for the taking! Of course, he also has his great looks going for him…
Then there is Urban, who gets extra points for being a country star from New Zealand. He is the soft spoken judge who lets aspiring singers down easy, or who inspires them with his encouragement. The singer has had a great career complete with platinum albums, the biggest Billboard country hit of the 2000-2010 decade, and several awards.
Urban began playing guitar and singing at an early age, entering various local competitions plus acting at a local theater company. His music career began in the early 1990s when he signed with EMI records. Something not everyone may know, is that Urban sang backing vocals for INXS 1991 live album, Live Baby Live (more hotness points!).
Unfortunately, the 47-year-old star began using cocaine when he lived in Nashville, but determined to stop the habit, Urban checked himself into rehab in 1998. He was able to get clean and went on to release his self-titled American debut album in 1999, which had several hits in the top 10 U.S. country chart. He did a second rehab stint in 2006, but got sober once again.
Urban's career has continued on successfully and he is now married to Nicole Kidman, with whom he shares two daughters.
Both of these guys have the looks and careers to make them certifiable hunks. So, tell us, which one do you think is the hottest?

Who's hotter?!?!? Either you desperately need glasses, or you were dropped on your head as a
baby. Ryan Seacrest isn't horrible to look at, but come on!! Hands down, no questions asked, no contest, Keith Urban is the hottest, most handsome man ever! Not only is he a brilliant guitarist, have an awesome voice, and writes great music, but he clearly adores, loves and cherishes his wife and daughters. He's compassionate, generous, and humble. To top it off, he has a wicked sense of humor! So, in my opinion, Keith Urban is the clear winner!!

Chevy custom projector headlights? Angel eyes? Halos? Blue light? What do all these terms mean? Let�s start with projector headlights. Projectors headlights originated in Germany about twenty years ago. It was technology taken from racing vehicles driven at night. Projector headlight technology started seeing the common roads on many upper-class vehicles. These high-end auto manufacturers wanted to produce a headlight that would focus the light directly in front of the car instead of on the sides of the road and into the sky which standard parabolic headlights do. It was important to have the maximum amount of light in front of the vehicle when traveling at speeds over 150 kilometers/hour. Shortly thereafter, Japan borrowed the projector headlight technology from Germany. Now, projector headlights are used on most new vehicles (foreign and domestic) built today including many trucks and SUV�s. Projector headlights are becoming more mainstream opposed to the previous parabolic headlights used in the 1980�s and 1990�s. Again, the purpose of the
projector headlight
is to focus 100% of the beam of light in front of the vehicle instead of all over the highway�in areas where lighting isn�t really necessary.
Chevrolet Projector headlights will take the place of your existing OEM headlights. MyTightRide sells its Chevrolet custom projector headlights in complete sets (left and right side). And, the headlights come included with halogen bulbs and a wiring harness for a quick plug-n-play installation. Many of the aftermarket Chevy projector headlights will NOT use the same OEM bulb that the vehicle they�re being installed on uses. These bulbs are readily available from local auto parts stores if replacement is necessary. No need to replace the entire headlight housing if a bulb burns out. MyTightRide also carries
aftermarket H.I.D. bulbs
if you want to add a lot of brightness to your headlights. You can read more about
H.I.D. kits
if you check out our
H.I.D. section
Most custom Chevy projector headlights come in two flavors or colors. Colors depend on the housing of the Chevrolet projector headlights. One color is chrome and the other color is black. Again, these colors are the housing itself and not the front lens. The front lens is a clear, top-quality plexiglass.

Don't shoot the messenger.
They have discretion to choose whomever they want to receive donations from unless the basis for their choosing is a based on racism or something similar. You don't have any right or entitlement to donate. This isn't like an employment situation, or like a government program situation.

George Michael has been forced to cancel all upcoming Australian shows, acting on advice of doctors.
Battling his way back from a serious bout of pneumonia last year, George Michael is attempting to make his way to stage fitness. Organising a tour of Australia, the singer intended piece together a brand new set for fans. It seems that the repercusions of that recent battle with ill health can still be felt, though, with the singer cancelling all upcoming shows.
Issuing a statement to fans, George Michael confirmed that he has been forced to cancel those Australian shows. George Michael explained that the decision "breaks my heart" but the singer was forced to obey doctor's orders. The full statement reads:
- - -
I have today announced the cancellation of the shows in Australia which breaks my heart. By way of explanation all I can say at this time is that since last year's illness I have tried in vain to work my way through the trauma that the doctors who saved my life warned me I would experience. They recommended complete rest and the type of post traumatic counselling which is available in cases like mine but I'm afraid I believed (wrongly) that making music and getting out there to perform for the audiences that bring me such joy would be therapy enough in itself. Unfortunately I seriously underestimated how difficult this year would be and although I was right to believe that the shows would bring me great happiness and that my voice would recover completely (I truly think that some of my recent performances have been my best ever) I was wrong to think I could work my way through the major anxiety that has plagued me since I left Austria last December.
All that's left for me to do is apologise to my wonderful Australian fan base and to promise faithfully that as soon as I completed these shows here in the UK I will receive the treatment which is so long overdue.
— George Michael

Super Moon 2012
Missing Moon Rocks
An internal review said the space agency doesn't keep track of the (now) irreplaceable artifacts.
The American space program was riding high when the astronauts from the Apollo missions returned from our planet's only natural satellite with samples of moon rock. NASA lent out these samples to observatories and research facilities for experimentation and observation – I even remember my high school science teacher showing me a moon rock in class – but after a story came out in 2010 from a Delaware institution's large sample being lost, NASA performed an investigation on where all its moon rocks had gone. The report from NASA's inspector general released admitted that many of the moon samples are lost forever and the agency needed to keep better records.
NASA has lent more than 26,000 to museums and scientists over the years. The inspector general audited a quarter of these samples, and reported that more than 500 have either been lost or stolen. 19 percent of the recipient's in question could not locate the samples, either because they were lost, they had been destroyed or lent to other institutions. Some of these samples can never be gained again, including 22 meteorites and two comet samples from an operation that retrieved them from a comet as it passed by.
In other cases, one scientist admitted to possessing 9 samples he borrowed more than 35 years ago. Others kept samples for 16 or more years after they had finished working with them. Even worse, some scientists said they held onto moon samples that they had never performed any experiments on at all.
NASA's report doesn't mean that it will stop lending out moon rocks, but the agency plans to adopt specific measures to track and keep accurate records of where its samples are located. I imagine that NASA will start checking in with these scientists to return the rocks after they are used, and start tracking them with bar codes or another tracking method to keep them all straight.
These rocks are difficult to replace, now that we haven't traveled to the Moon since 1972 and are likely not to return since the space shuttles are retired from service. Crap, we're not going to get any more moon rocks any time soon.
- The main repository for the Apollo moon rocks is the ultra-secure Lunar Sample Building at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
- There is a smaller collection at Brooks Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.
- The samples are stored in nitrogen to mimic conditions on the moon and keep them free of moisture.
- The Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions brought back 2,415 samples weighing 382 kg.
- The three Russian Luna spacecraft returned with an additional 0.32 kg of samples.
- In 1972, President Richard Nixon sent moon rocks to 135 foreign heads of state, the 50 U.S. states and its provinces as a goodwill gesture
- In 2002 three young Nasa interns stole dozens of samples from the Houston repository but were arrested as they tried to sell them to an undercover FBI agent
An Apollo astronaut digs for samples (right) and President Bill Clinton shows off a sample of moon rock given to him in 1999
What was most significant about the lunar voyage was not that men set foot on the moon but that they set eye on the earth.

Total Lunar Eclipse This Weekend—Last One Until 2014
Saturday Event will paint full moon red.
This weekend sky-watchers across most of the globe will have the chance to watch at least some of the last total lunar eclipse until 2014.
(See pictures from the previous total lunar eclipse in June.)
The entire lunar eclipse will be visible in East Asia, Australia, and the far western portion of North America that includes Alaska and Canada's Yukon and Northwest Territories. The spectacle will last nearly three and a half hours, starting on Saturday at 4:45 a.m. Pacific Time.
Totality—when the full moon will be completely blocked from direct sunlight—will start at 6:05 a.m. PT and last until 6:57 a.m. PT.
Part of the eclipse will be visible in Europe and Africa at moonrise, in the evening, said Raminder Singh Samra, an astronomer at the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre in Vancouver, Canada.
"Meanwhile, observers across the Pacific region of North America will get to see the sky show low in the western horizon at moonset, in the early morning," he said.
Watch a live video feed of the total lunar eclipse from the Slooh SpaceCamera. Live broadcast starts at 5:00 a.m. PT on Saturday.
Lunar eclipses can occur only when the full moon, Earth, and the sun are aligned so that the moon crosses through Earth's shadow.
Due to the moon's tilted orbit around Earth, lunar eclipses happen only a few times a year, Samra said. The eclipse can be full or partial, depending on how much of the lunar disk falls in our planet's shadow.
(Watch a moon facts video.)
Rather than going completely dark, the moon takes on a deep reddish hue during a total lunar eclipse.
"As the entire moon passes through the Earth's shadow cast by the sun in space, sunlight scattering off our planet's dusty atmosphere and subsequently reflecting off the surface of the moon will make it appear to change color," Samra said.
Expect to see the lunar disk go from dark grey during the partial phase to reddish-orange during totality, he said.
Partial Eclipses on the Horizon
After Saturday's eclipse, sky-watchers are in for a dry spell—the cosmic lineup needed for a total lunar eclipse won't occur again until April 14, 2014.
(Take a moon myths and mysteries quiz.)
But the next partial lunar eclipse happens on June 4, 2012, when a chunk of the moon will appear to be gobbled up by Earth's shadow.
"The next few lunar eclipses that will occur will only be partial ones," Samra said, "so this will be our last chance to enjoy a total eclipse in quite some time."

Saved by a phone call
THOMASVILLE, Jan 23, 2013 (Thomasville Times-Enterprise - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- A patient arriving for treatment at the Archbold dialysis facility early Wednesday morning wondered why a purse lay on Old Albany Road.
Christopher Sheffield saw children waiting nearby for a school bus and thought the purse was somehow connected to the youngsters.
He saw a black Lexus parked at the front door of the facility and assumed it was another patient about to undergo dialysis.
At that point, Sheffield, 50, received a phone call about picking up someone. He responded to the message and returned to the site a few minutes later. The purse still lay on the highway. From the activity, it appeared that maybe a child had been struck by a vehicle.
"I'm kind of glad I got that call," Sheffield said during a Wednesday telephone interview from inside the dialysis facility. "Otherwise, I would have walked right into the middle of it." Gunfire had been under way in the building when he received the call and left.
Sheffield had driven away from the dialysis facility moments before Leonard Threadcraft and his ex-wife entered the building, and shots were fired.
Threadcraft, described as a minister of the gospel, died by his own hand at the entrance of the Archbold dialysis facility, 201 Old Albany Road.

Wow, that's a lot of rim jobs.
The Canadian company's shares sunk 3 percent after the Monday announcement of 2,000 job cuts, a month after RIM said would reduce headcount for the first time in almost a decade.
The company, which described the cost reduction as "a prudent and necessary step" for its long-term success, said it would inform employees who will lose their jobs this week.

"Rockland County Clerk Claims 'Gun Maps' Outdated, Inaccurate"
Yes, but we're dealing with progressive activists on a mission and with a cause. It's grossly unfair to judge them, therefore, on the accuracy of their broadside against CCW holders, given that they were on a mission and fighting for a cause. In fact, it's insulting. And not a little déclassé.
Because with progressives, it's always the thought that counts.
And besides, it's silly to declaim as horrible something done by good people with good intentions. Good people do good things. By definition. And progressives, we all know, have decided that they are good.
So. QED.
Live with it, Hobbits.

'The Voice' Recap: The Top 8 Perform
My heart stopped when James Wolpert drew the short straw on "The Voice" Monday and got the first slot on this week's performance show (usually a vote killer). Then he picked a Queen song–risky, James! But he stole the night with a Broadway-style performance of "Somebody to Love," dressed in a tux and surrounded by an army of Wolpert look-alikes.
It was Team Adam's night on Monday. Tessanne Chin dazzled, singing No Doubt's "Underneath it All." She also stole the spotlight in a group performance of "One Day." And Will Champlin pulled off the riskiest song choice of all, Etta James's "At Last."
Ordinarily I'd say Adam was in line to lose a contestant during the elimination round on Tuesday. His is the only team that remains intact, with all three contestants still in place (Christina and Blake have two, and CeeLo has one). But his artists are looking good.
Among other standouts Monday, Matthew Schuler remains untouchable. Coach Christina gave him a workout, lending him her choreographer for his rendition of Imagine Dragon's "It's Time." It wasn't his best performance to date but even that is better than most of the others. The competition's youngest artist, Jacquie Lee, scored the lucrative final slot, performing Jackson 5's "Who's Lovin' You." Despite a couple of wobbly notes and some quasi-yelling, it was a strong performance. "It's crazy, it's like you swallowed an old lady or something," CeeLo said as the credits rolled.
