Gwyneth Gets her 'Goop' On
When America has a problem, America usually watches Oprah.
When Gwyneth Paltrow struggles with an emotional snag, she consults close pals like Deepak Chopra and senior advisers at the Kabbalah Center.
Add that to the list of things Gwyneth does that you don't.
Regardless, Paltrow has sent out her first notice from her lifestlye portal Goop, and it's Dear Abbey for the glitterati. The email, in tasteful font and a graceful peppermint backspalsh reads:
This newsletter really needs very little by way of introduction. I am interested in spiritual disciplines within different religions and schools of thought. I thought it would be inspiring to periodically ask a question to a group of thinkers from various traditions on the subject that often confound me. Below you will find the first question and answers by Deepak Chopra, Michael Berg of the Kabbalah Centre, Episcopal priest Cynthia Bourgeault, Sufi Shaikh Kabir Helminski, and New York psychologist Karen Binder-Brynes.
— Gwyneth Paltrow
The question posed deals with negative people and thinking, and each expert weighs in for Chris Martin's lady and her readers. Doesn't it reassure you that Gwyneth seeks amazing counsel? Meanwhile, good luck with your fortune cookie.

Young West Coast midfielder Tom Swift has stunned the club by walking away from the AFL to study medicine.
The 22-year-old told the Eagles of his decision on Friday, only hours before the club's best-and-fairest count, won by Scott Selwood.
Swift, who has played 34 games after being picked by the Eagles with a second round draft selection in 2008, will study at the University of Western Australia next year.
Swift is out of contract at the Eagles but is believed to have been on the verge of receiving a one-year extension offer.
"The opportunities I see myself having outside of football outweigh the benefits I'm going to gain from a football career," Swift told The West Australian.
"A change in lifestyle is something I've always desired and following my academic pursuits and making the most out of them.
"I feel like I've come to a bit of a crossroad where if I let too much time elapse I won't have those opportunities any more.
"You never make a decision being 100 per cent sure. There's still a voice in the back of my head saying I've made the wrong decision, but it's something I've got to live with now."
West Coast coach John Worsfold admitted the news came out of the blue.
"It hit me between the eyes this afternoon with his ambitions, and the very noble ambitions that he has," Worsfold told the AFL website.
"It's a mark of his character, no doubt the tough decision that he's had to make. I wish him all the best."

Three Wisconsin dairy co-ops to merge
The boards of directors of three Wisconsin-based dairy cooperatives have voted to merge. Under the proposal, Family Dairies USA, Manitowoc Milk Producers and Milwaukee Cooperative Milk Producers would unite to form FarmFirst Cooperative. The new co-op would have about 5,400 dairy farms producing around 13 billion pounds of milk in Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North and South Dakota. That would make FarmFirst the third-largest dairy co-op in the country behind Dairy Farmers of America and California Dairies. It would be the largest dairy co-op in the Midwest just ahead of Land O'Lakes.
Informational meetings will be held by each cooperative's membership over the next six weeks. The proposal to merge will be voted on by each membership in mid-December. If the merger passes, the new, combined cooperative will begin business function January 1, 2013. Leadership stresses all three cooperatives are in sound financial shape, combining them will improve efficiencies, effectiveness and improve member benefits.
The new co-op would start out with a board combining the 20 members currently serving the three co-ops. Over a three-year period it will be pared down to a nine-member board elected from nine districts. The districts are divided equally by farm membership. Manitowoc Milk general manager Dennis Donahue would become general manager of the new co-op for a year, Family Dairies GM David Cooper would be assistant general manager and then step-up to general manager after a year. Jim Bird of Milwaukee Co-op will be director of the Fox Valley Lab and the milk procurement operation that Family Dairies currently operates. Those two will be independent entities but will be rolled into the overall financial operation of FarmFirst Cooperative.
FarmFirst Cooperative will be based at the current Family Dairies headquarters in Madison; they will maintain a satellite office in Manitowoc for a while. Milwaukee Co-op Milk had just sold their Brookfield office.
Milwaukee Cooperative Milk Producers was formed in 1916, Manitowoc Milk Producers began in 1933 and Family Dairies USA started out in 1971 as Farmers Union Milk Marketing Cooperative, it became Family Dairies in 1998.

Lucy and Edmond are spending a dreary holiday with their cousin Eustace Clarence Scrub, who is a rather dour and mean spirited little boy. They are unexpectedly drawn into Narnia when a painting of a ship on the wall of Lucy's room comes to life, and the three children fall into the ocean to be rescued be the Dawn Treader. Once safely on board, Lucy and Edmond are greeted by their friend Caspian (now King Caspian) who has undertaken a quest to find the seven lost Lords of Narnia, as he had previously promised to Aslan. Lucy and Edmond are delighted to be back in Narnia, but Eustace is less than enthusiastic. Reepicheep is also on board, as he has vowed to find the seas of the 'utter east'.

Channel 10 news footage bstreetsmart 2016Friday, August 26, 2016
Our school was fortunate enough to view the bstreetsmart road safety
event at Allphones arena this week. I would like to sincerely thank the
volunteers, organisers and sponsors of this event for an outstanding
presentation. The big message that our students received from this forum
is the power of the passengers in influencing the driver to slow down
and behave responsibly. It pulls no punches and it was a powerful
experience and I encourage all principals to explore sending students
from their school to next years event. Thanks once again to all
I will remember the outcomes of stupid choices.
Extremely powerful and emotion provoking. I think every teenager needs to witness something like that.

Monday night, Michael Clarke reached for a bottle of Pepperjack shiraz and set about the business of quaffing the mighty Barossa red as he turned his attention to how exactly he would rescue the world's biggest listed winemaker, Treasury Wine Estates, from its lost decade.
The tasting was as much about calming his nerves as he prepared to address analysts and investors for the first time since his appointment as chief executive in late February as it was dipping into one of his favourite Treasury Wine brands that was now under his control.
''I think Pepperjack is an amazing proposition and I drank it last night before the [analyst] call to make sure I was really calm on the call,'' Mr Clarke said.
Who could blame him? For 10 years analysts and investors have been firing shots at previous Treasury Wine directors, CEOs and executives over the company's failed multibillion-dollar global expansion and retreating profitability. They have attacked everything and anything, and for the most part remain sceptical anyone will be able to turn around the winemaker, whose vineyards stretch from California's Napa Valley to the Barossa, and a customer base from Shanghai to San Francisco.
It was a tough crowd but Mr Clarke, whose former roles included selling Coca-Cola and sneakers to south-east Asia, Kraft cheese to Europeans and chocolate to the British, stood confident that despite the failings of the past, the litany of promises made and broken, he could fix what was wrong with the Australian-based wine group.
''I know that, above all, the business needs to deliver on the promises it has made to the market, and I also acknowledge over the past two years Treasury Wine Estates failed to sustainably deliver on its commercial targets,'' he said.
For Mr Clarke, it means action. Not just talk but a head-on run deep into the company's culture and structure to weed out the impediments strangling Treasury Wine's growth trajectory.
His first impressions of the group could not be more candid.
''There is a lot that needs to be fixed,'' he said. ''We need to step up our capabilities, our execution. We need to stop the talking, because there has been a lot of talk in this company and not necessarily a lot of delivery, and let's get focused on the delivery and execution.''
Mr Clarke, who at Kraft was its European president, believes Treasury Wines has got its supply chain about right, although it can still be improved. But where the company has let its shareholders down is then selling the wine brands to retailers and distributors and, ultimately, the customer.
''We have had one strong leg in the supply chain [at Treasury Wines], and a weak leg on sales and marketing. And if you have one strong leg and one weak leg, you start going round in circles, and we need to start to get the two legs to be strong so we can walk and then run.''
Investors know all about Treasury Wines wandering in circles. Shares in the former wine arm of Foster's have fallen nearly 50 per cent in the past year, driven down by hundreds of millions of dollars in write-downs as the winemaker pumped out cheap commercial wines that nobody wanted, combined with retreating earnings across most of its key markets in North America, Europe, Asia and at home in Australia.
For the most recent half, Treasury Wine reported flat sales of $864.2 million as profits halved to $25.7 million. A mixture of poor decision-making, or in some cases no decisions at all, saw it fail to discount in the lead-up to Christmas, which smashed its Australian wine arm. There have been plenty of other mistakes, too: the wrong grapes for the wrong markets; offerings that were mismatched with consumer demands; and endless management restructures.
The investment community has been quick to fret about Mr Clarke's lack of wine experience, and there is a feeling this will be the board's last role of the dice, with a takeover and break-up the most likely outcome if Mr Clarke's efforts to wrestle control of the unwieldy company slip through his hands.
''When I went into Kraft, honestly, people questioned, analysts questioned, investors questioned - how can a guy who runs a soft drink business, Coca-Cola, which has done well, has performed incredibly well, how can he now run a food business?'' Mr Clarke said. ''I think I demonstrated to those investors and the board that I quickly learned the business and, in fact, we became the fastest-growing part of Kraft globally.''
Mr Clarke said he will follow the same pattern at Treasury Wines, asking sometimes dumb questions and challenging the traditional ways of doing things, and has been pressing for answers since he officially took up his post in March.
Fiefdoms will be broken open, consultants shown the door and all so Mr Clarke and his team can reinvest savings and capital into better connecting with customers and offer them a compelling reason to enter a bottle shop and grab a Treasury Wine brand.
''We need to spend more in consumer marketing connecting with the consumer so the consumer walks into the store and wants to buy that brand because of how we have connected with them, not because it's 'buy one and get one free'.''
For the commercial wines, read cheap and cheerful. There was still a place for discounting, but as the price tag rose, so did Treasury Wine's need to invest money in marketing and supporting the quality of the label. For these reasons, the company needed to let go of the price lever when it came to its premium wines, which is the space where Mr Clarke wants to be.
''The proverbial will hit the fan one day when you don't spend [on discounting] and you are not buying the volume if you haven't spent enough on the consumer connections to get them, the consumer, to go into a store and want to take your product off the shelf - its going to hurt you.''
Mr Clarke's grab bag of ideas, which will be more fleshed out and detailed to the market in August when Treasury Wines releases its full-year results, will see frail or stagnant brands dumped and sold, a more targeted approach to its investment in marketing and brand support, and cost cutting that will involve job losses. ''I think we do have too many brands in our portfolio; I think we have got 83 brands in the portfolio at last count that I have done and you can't treat all the brands the same way,'' he said. ''We need to prioritise our brands, and make sure the top-end brands get the lion-sized chunk of our consumer marketing spend to engage with consumers to drive consumers into stores.''
He said he is not wedded to any particular brand - if his new fix can't improve a poor-performing wine label, it's out.
''I am not emotionally attached to any part of the business or any particular brand. I will be cold and I will address it.
''In commercial, there are some brands we need to fix very quickly, and then there is some tail that we need to address. The parts that we can't polish, that we can't grow, we need to address that.''
But the biggest asset in the company, its Beringer wine business in the US, will not be be flung out the door to pacify analysts. Despite never generating an adequate return since it was bought by Foster's more than a decade ago, it will be fixed. Mr Clarke is determined on this: ''I honestly believe we can nurture this US business into a much better position that it is in today. Yes, I think it's an essential part of our growth platform going forward.''
At least he can look forward to tasting some amazing wines over the next three to five years, which is how long he believes he needs to transform and resuscitate the business. Whether the board or investors give him that time remains to be seen.

The 'Bad Romance' singer's manager gives update on her condition, saying that she is 'doing wonderful' and working on her latest album 'ARTPOP'.
Lady GaGa's manager, Vincent Herbert, shared info about the singer's activity and her condition after hip surgery which forced her to cancel the remaining dates of "Born This Way Ball". In an interview on Tuesday, March 19, Herbert said that GaGa was "doing wonderful, doing great."
He also revealed that the Grammy winner was "ready to get back to work." GaGa has resumed working on her new album, and Herbert said that the upcoming studio set would be "very, very refreshing." He added, "I can't wait for the world to hear her new music and see her come back healthy, strong and better than ever."
Madeon, the French DJ who works with GaGa for "ARTPOP", told DigitalSpy that GaGa was "really impressive" during recording. "She's great. She's a really, really interesting and nice person," he praised GaGa. "From a personal standpoint it's been hugely admirational, to be like, 'Wow - you're at this level of super, ultimate fame - and there's this aura of superstardom - and you're still an engaging and nice person.' So that was really humbling," he gushed.
"Professionally, I think she's amazing. She would come out of a show after singing live for three hours and giving it everything, but just go straight to the studio and record. She would still give everything - even on the demo take. She's really impressive," Madeon added.
Madeon said that working with GaGa would be a great experience for him, because he previously only worked with one singer, Beth Ditto. He said, "I learned a lot because I don't really work with vocalists in real life that often. For my previous collaborations I'd never met them while doing the song. It was really interesting for me to feel the vibe of working together, sitting at the piano and collaborating on ideas right away."

Most people already know the difference between Champagne and all other sparkling wines. In order to officially be called Champagne, the bubbly needs to be from the Champagne region of France and made in accordance with specific guidelines. If you are searching for something a little more affordable than Champagne, you're in luck. Both Prosecco and Cava are similar, and they can be a cheaper replacement for a toast, a romantic evening with your date or even a fun party with friends. Keep in mind, however, that not all white sparkling wine is created equally. Use this guide to learn about the key differences between Cava and Prosecco as well as why these differences matter.
What is Cava?
Cava is a Spanish sparkling wine that can be either white or rose. Like Champagne, it has to come from a specific area and created in a specific way in order to legally go by the name of Cava. In Spain, most Cava comes from Catalonia, and it is made in the same way that Champagne is, which is different from sparkling wines injected with carbonation rather than letting the ingredients naturally ferment. Cava can be traced back for more than 150 years in Spain, but it only received its name in the 1970s. Just like most sparkling wines, Cava can come in varying levels of sweetness from the dry brut nature all the way up to the dolsec, or dulce.
What is Prosecco?
Prosecco is a sparkling white wine made primarily from Glera grapes grown in the Veneto region of Italy. There is history of the word Prosecco being used as far back at the 17th century, and it has been on menus in Italy for centuries. Until the 1990s, however, the technique created a sweet and low-quality wine that was not what you might expect from Prosecco today. As methods advanced, winemakers were able to create a Prosecco that is often indistinguishable from Champagne.
What are the Price Differences Between the Two?
The first thing you will notice about the price of both Cava and Prosecco is that it is much, much lower than Champagne. While it is a struggle to find a bottle of Champagne for under $60, these alternative sparkling wines are rarely more than $30. Like anything, you can find both affordable and more expensive bottles of Prosecco and Cava. However, Cava is generally cheaper. There are several bottles available for under $10 apiece, but Prosecco is typically closer to the $20 mark.
What are the Taste Differences Between the Two?
In terms of taste, Prosecco is closer to Champagne than any other sparkling wine. It is ideal as an aperitif before the meal, and it is usually quite fruity with varying levels of sweetness or dryness depending on the bottle. Cava, on the other hand, will typically have more bubbles and a less sweet flavour overall. Rather than tasting berries or orchard fruits, you might get hints of citrus or earthy flavours.
Are the Two Sparkling Wines Interchangeable?
Asking if Cava and Prosecco are interchangeable is a bit like asking whether an ale and a lager are interchangeable. While they are both lovely white sparkling wines, they are not the same beverage. If you plan to use them in a cocktail with other liquids, then choose something affordable if that is a priority. Otherwise, splurge on the best bottle you can afford. If you are trying to make a good impression and want to have a toast or bring along a nice bottle to a dinner party, stick with Prosecco. If you just want to try something new and enjoy bubbly, Cava can be a great choice instead.
What Should You Buy?
Ultimately, what you choose is up to you and what you like most. Generally speaking, those who prefer sweeter sparkling wines will like Prosecco more, and those who appreciate the citrus notes will enjoy Cava instead. If you love champagne and simply want a more affordable replacement, then choose Prosecco.
These tips can come in handy whether you are buying a bottle for yourself or getting ready for a foodie trip abroad. If a trip to the UK is on the agenda, use this great link for advice on what else to drink, see, eat and do in the country.

Peeps: Love Them or Hate Them [POLL]
As the first day of Spring and Easter quickly approach, the shelves of your local store are filling up with sweet treats. Some yummy (Reese's peanut butter eggs…) and some not so yummy (Cadbury creme eggs….).
My question is about Peeps, however. Usually people have a love/hate relationship with the marshmallowy candy.
I'm on the hate side.
I've never understood them, I appreciate them being made in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, but I just don't like them.

Bat of Minerva, Ann Waltner, May 2006 & August 2010
Ann Waltner is a professor in both the Department of History and the Department of Asian Languages and Literatures and is former founding director of the IAS. Her research interests lie in the social history of sixteenth and seventeenth century China, comparative women's history, and world history. She recently finished a term as editor of the Journal of Asian Studies. Current projects include: a book length manuscript on religion and society in sixteenth century China, as well an article on spatial impropriety and other transgressions in Shen Fu's Six Records of a Floating Life and another on family scandal and political crisis in the domestic life of the sixteenth-century literatus Wang Shizhen, as shown in eulogies and letters.
In this first interview, Waltner talks about Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism, the case of a young woman who became a medium and spiritual leader, and the boundaries between reality and the supernatural in 16th century China.
Download: audio, small video, or original.
Here, Waltner talks about Matteo Ricci's Kunyu wanguo quantu, or Map of the Ten Thousand Countries of the Earth (1602), the oldest surviving Chinese map to show the Americas.
Download: audio, small video, or original.
A Jesuit priest, Matteo Ricci arrived in China in 1583 and, with fellow Jesuit Michele Ruggieri, established the first Christian mission. In 1597, Ricci was named Superior or head of the entire Jesuit missionary effort in China. His world map is a true collaboration between the European scholars of the Jesuit mission and the Chinese scholars of the imperial court. Vivid descriptions of the continents, praise of the Chinese emperor, lunar charts, and scientific tables documenting the movement of the planets adorn the map, a unique representation of East-West relations in the early 17th-century.
This example of the 1602 Ricci Map was purchased by the James Ford Bell Trust for the benefit of the James Ford Bell Library and is now on loan to the University of Minnesota. Recently exhibited at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts during the summer of 2010, the Ricci map, popularly called "The Impossible Black Tulip" because it is so rare, was featured in an exhibition at the Bell Library: Matteo Ricci and the Jesuits in China. The map is a xylograph (wood block print) on six scrolls of fine native paper, each scroll measuring approximately 1820 x 3650 mm (each panel is approximately 2 feet by 5.75 feet).
The Ricci map is among six known complete examples of the 1602 printing; this is the only one in the United States. The six examples: Vatican Apostolic Library Collection I; Japan Kyoto University Collection; collection of Japan Miyagi Prefecture Library; Collection of the Library of the Japanese Cabinet; Paris, France (in private hands); James Ford Bell Trust (formerly in a private collection in Japan).
Waltner also spoke in a 2015 interview with composer Ryland Angel about the development of their project The Call.

Living the Dream: Disney Dream Cruise Review by DBCH911
Overall Member Rating
Living the Dream
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
As we entered the atrium, we were More greeted by name by the DCL staff. It's a nice touch and my son loved it. We were immediately given instructions on where to go to get some lunch and headed to Cabanas. Being one of the first groups to board, Cabanas was not overly busy. We were hown to a table and helped ourselves to lunch. We found the food to be hot and fresh and very good. They had much to choose from. Some of the items offered were shrimp, crab claws, mussels, carved roast beef, carved turkey breast, lamb chops, steak, pizza, burgers, hot dogs, pasta, fresh veggies and fruit, french fries, Indian curry, asian entrees, etc....
At 1:30, we went to our cabin. We had booked a deluxe verandah on deck 10, cabin # 10664. Our cabin was spacious and spotlessly clean. The verandah was huge!! We had 2 chairs and a table as well as 2 chaise lounges. It was on the aft end of the ship. There was plenty of storage and we had no problem finding the space we needed with some to spare. Our luggage was already in our room so we quickly unpacked and stored our suitcases under the bed. Our room stewardess came to introduce herself and greet us. She was very friendly andmaintained our room beautifully. She also explained how the stateroom operated. You use your key card in order to run the lights, tv, air conditioning, and toilets. She left a spare card with us to leave in the room for conveinance. We left to explore the ship until the lifebboat drill. The drull was quick and painless. No life jackets are required and our muster station was in the comfort of the Evolution lounge.
After the lifeboat drill, we went to deck 11 in order to attend the sail away party. We were given pom pom type items to shake around and dance with. It was fun and the kids loved the character participation. Afterwards, we went to our cabin in order to get ready for early dinner seating. Dinner that night was to be in the Enchanted Garden resturant. The dining room was very pretty. It was like eating in a French garden. Our servers were Gabi and Annaya. They were excellent! They were quick to fulfill our every request. My son ate the children's baked salmon and loved it. He left after dinner in order to go to the kids club. He's 10 so he was able to check himself in and out at will. My mother ate the carmelized scallops, spinach salad, and Banana's Foster sundae. I ate the pork tenderloin, Spinach salad, and Banana's Foster Sundae. We both agreed that the food was very good. My only complaint was that the pork was underdone for my taste. I like mine well done. After dinner, we went to the show of the evening. Tonight was the Golden Mickey's. I had seen this show on the wonder but enjoyed it just as much this time around. They had changed it a little bit. We hung out in the district afterwards and then my sone and I went to the midnight prem-EAR of Mars Needs Moms in 3D in the Buena Vista theater.
Friday was Nassau day. We slept in and had breakfast at Cabana's. We left the ship and did some shopping before lunch. We returned to the ship to swim and have lunch before meeting for our tour excursion in the District lounge. We had booked the Nassau city tour and Ardastra Gardens & Zoo. Our guide, Carven, was very funny and made the tour very enjoyable. We all enjoyed the zoo. It's small and a bit run down but the people there were very nice and entertaining. We went to the marching Flamingo show and I was able to go onto the field with the Flamingos. They were a lot of fun (I'm a huge animal lover)and I even got a "kiss" from one of them. We returned to the ship after our tour and went to the pool until dinner. The lines for the Aquaduck were long so we skipped it for that afternoon. Dinner this night was in the Royal Palace. This restaurant is beautiful! They had very charming touches throughout the dining area such as carriage shaped bread baskets and tiara window treatments. My son and mother ate the tenderloin and lobster for dinner. Mom and I had the French Onion soup. The soup was good but I thought that the bread and cheese inside of it left a lot to be desired. We had creme brulee for dessert and that was excellent! I could have ate 10 more of them! The show that night was Villain's. This was my son's favorite. It was very funny and well done. This night was pirate night. We went to the pirate party on deck. My son was very tired so we headed back to the cabin around 9:30. He fell asleep so we watched the Buccaneer Blast from our veranda. The fireworks were directly overhead and it was great!
Saturday was spent in Castaway Cay. I love this place. It's perfection! We spent the morning on the beach. The water was VERY cold. We had lunch at Cookie's Too. The food was all very good. The ribs fell off of the bone. My sone ate a hot dog and grilled Mahi that he loved. There was ice cream, banana bread, cake, and giant chocolate chip cookies for dessert. There is a lot to do on Castaway Cay. We went back to the ship after lunch in order to ride the Aquaduck. The lines were much shorter and we got to have a few rides on it. What fun! My son is 10 ans is 52 inches tall. He had to ride with someone so I went with him. You must be 48 inches tall to ride this ride and 54 inches tall to ride alone. We swam in the Donald Duck pool and watched Tunnelvision for the afternoon. Dumbo was playing. Dinner this night was in the Animator's Palate. Cute restaurant! The characters from finding Nemo swim from table to table to interact. Unfortunately there was a technical problem and Crush was unable to speak to anyone while we were in there. Disappointing but cute, none the less. My son had Mac & cheese for dinner. Mom had shrimp pasta and I had tenderloin. The food was great. Brownie cheesecake for dessert. The show tonight was Believe. It was my favorite of the three that we saw. It had a little bit of everything in it. Nobody does it like Disney! Afterwards, my son and I played the onboard detective game. We solved the mystery of the stolen puppies by following clues provided through the interactive art found throughout the ship. It was a lot of fun and good exercise. My son loved it! We went shopping and bought some photos and souvenir's. We hung out on deck and then went back to the cabin to pack. We has a 6:45am seating for disembarkation breakfast in the Animator's Palate the following morning.
Overall, we thought that the cruise was fabulous. I liked it so much, I booked a 7 night on the Disney Fantasy for next year! I honestly have no complaints about the trip at all. I loved every minute of it. I will definitely cruise with Disney again. Less
Published 03/15/11
Cabin review: 6A10664
Our cabin was very spacious with a huge veranda. It had plenty of storage and was in a quiet location. It was a convenient location to Cabana's and several of the restaurants. I highly recommend this room.

THE 42-4 scoreline at Mount Pleasant rightly suggests Batley were full value for their victory, but it does not do justice to York City Knights' efforts and travails in defeat.
A quick glance at the penalty count – 14-5 in favour of the Bulldogs – tells a bit more of the story, as the Knights not only battled against one the best sides in the Kingstone Press Championship on their notorious sloping home pitch, but also St Helens referee George Stokes, who, aside from the penalties, only gave York any of the 50-50 calls once the game was dead and buried.
Three of his key decisions came within minutes of each other, too, effectively turning the match prior to half-time.
He firstly sin-binned Knights stand-off Simon Brown for dissent, and then ruled out a Jonny Presley try when deeming Tom Carr's pass was forward. Presley and Carr, and the decent contingent of Knights fans, couldn't believe it.
As luck would have it, Batley went up the other end to score through Tom Hemingway, Stokes missing a forward pass in the build-up.
Seconds later, a try on the half-time hooter left York 18-4 down at the interval when really they should have been 10-6 up. They were yet to play up the Mount Pleasant slope, too.
A quick look at the bodies piled up on the treatment table at the end of the game tells another part of the story.
Matt Nicholson, York's main go-forward prop, hooker Jack Lee and half-back Danny Nicklas all had busted shoulders, and young prop Austin Bell couldn't walk properly due to an injured hip. Jack Latus also sprained an ankle but kept on playing.
On top of that, Batley gave a commanding display, all of which meant the Knights have still to take a single point from eight visits to Mount Pleasant.
It wasn't the result boss Gary Thornton, a Bulldogs player for nine years and head coach for five, had wanted on his first return there as a visiting boss. But at least he and his players could leave with heads up.
A key factor in Batley's dominance was the back three of full-back Miles Greenwood and wingers Johnny Campbell and Greg Johnson, who returned the ball with interest every time they collected it, taking numerous attempted tackles to halt them.
York were served immediate notice of that threat in the opening seconds, that first attack ending with a try, after exactly one minute of play, from dummy-half by hooker George Flanagan.
The initial foray had only been halted by a desperate cover tackle from Ben Dent – back in the team in place of Tom Lineham, who had been recalled by parent club Hull, and back on the ground where his debut season in the Knights' first-team frame had been curtailed last August when stretchered off in a neck brace.
On that occasion, the Knights – Dent being part of a novice line-up – had conceded a half-century of points for the second successive time at Mount Pleasant, without getting on the scoresheet, and there were immediate fears of a repeat.
However, York struck back through Joe Arundel after good work from Carr, and Dent's bravery in running out on this ground despite those recent memories here was matched by the defensive effort of his team-mates.
Batley remained the better side, but scrambling defence kept them out several times, pretty much with every Knights player contributing.
The obvious worry was that the hosts were playing up the hill and were bound to kick on down it in the second half.
They were also being aided – as if they needed it – by a ridiculous penalty count which at one point stood at 8-1.
That disallowed try by Presley was against the run of play but would at least have given the Knights a lead to defend. As it was, Hemingway's try – added to his 100 per cent record with the boot – and a killer on the hooter by Campbell put the Bulldogs in command at 18-4.
On the resumption, Greenwood had a try ruled out for offside but smart angled kicks from Hemingway and Black duly brought touchdowns for Alex Bretherton and that man Greenwood.
The pacy full-back had been pinpointed as 'one to watch' in The Press' match preview and he was certainly worth watching, capping his display with a second try soon after, albeit on the back of two more dubious penalties.
York's frustrations were summed up when Sam Scott stole the ball one-on-one but, with team-mates then joining the tackle, Stokes deemed it had been taken illegally. Scott, again immense in the Knights' pack, was about to score but the whistle prompted him to boot the ball out of the ground. Surprisingly, Stokes did not caution him.
Flanagan duly rubbed further salt into injury-hit York's wounds with a second try from dummy-half before seeing a hat-trick score ruled out for offside.
Match facts
Batley: Greenwood, Campbell, Walton, Bretherton, Johnson, Black, Hemingway, B Smith, Flanagan, Rowe, Applegarth, Davies, Lindsay. Subs (all used): Mennell, Hirst, Fleming, A Scott.
Tries: Flanagan 1, 75; Hemingway 38; Campbell 40; Bretherton 47; Greenwood 62, 66.
Conversions: Hemingway 1, 38, 40, 47, 62, 66, 75.
Knights: Carr 7, B Dent 6, Arundel 6, Latus 6, Briscoe 7, Brown 6, Nicklas 6, Nicholson 6, Lee 6, Aldous 7, S Scott 8, E Smith 7, Golden 8. Subs (all used): Lyons 6, Presley 6, Bell 6, Sullivan 7.
Tries: Arundel 7.
Sin-binned: Brown 33.
Man of the match: Sam Scott – yet again the second-row gave his all, contributing consistently good stuff in attack and defence.
Referee: George Stokes (St Helens) – the kind of officiating that makes it difficult for fans to abide by the oft-heard Tannoy announcement to not use unpleasant language.
Penalties: 14-5.
Half-time: 18-4.
Attendance: 720.
Weather: sunny and fresh.
Moment of the match: York's frustrations were summed up when Sam Scott, certain to score after a one-on-one ball steal, was hauled back by the ref, and promptly booted the ball out of the ground in anger.
Gaffe of the match: when you're facing a referee in this kind of mood, try not to get frustrated at him, Simon Brown, because back-chat is bound to bring a sin-bin.
Gamebreaker: the two tries in the last few minutes of the first half while York were down to 12 men put paid to the Knights' hopes, especially as they had to climb the Mount (un)Pleasant hill in the second half.
Match rating: Batley were full value for victory, but York fans were appreciative of the Knights' efforts.

Need Gun Information? Ask a Firearms Expert for Answers ASAP
Do you have the Model number. Swing the cylinder out and look at the hinge area, the model number should be stamped there if it was made from 1957 to the present.
If it is not there, I need the barrel length, number of shots and anything stamped on the frame or barrel.
I believe your gun is the 22/32 hand Ejector Standard Model. It has a 6 shot fluted cylinder and a 6" barrel. The finish is blued with checkered walnut grips. It was continued after 1957 as the Model 35. The values are:
excellent-$600, very good-$400, good-$250, fair-$200, poor-$125.

Honeywell Employees Select Student Team From China As Winner Of 2013-14 Student Automotive Design Challenge
ROLLE, Switzerland--Feb. 25, 2014: In the culmination of the 6th annual Honeywell/SAE Student Automotive Design Challenge (SADC), local students from China, Romania and Mexico won first, second and third place respectively in the international challenge.
'The Rescue Car' project from Zhangjiang Experimental High School in Shanghai, China; 'Fast Fun Toys Corporation' from "Sfantul Vasile" Secondary School in Ploiesti, Romania; and, 'Sala's Motors' from Colegio Americano de Mexicali from Mexico, were chosen by more than 1,000 global Honeywell employees in a global online vote as the top three entries in the 2013 SADC event. Each student group will be recognized with an award ceremony from the local Honeywell plant which sponsored the school in this year's program.
"With this international SADC challenge, we aim to inspire classrooms and show kids that the knowledge they acquire from their studies can be applied in a real - and fun - way," said Honeywell Transportation Systems Chief Technology Officer Karl-Heinz Bauer. "For the past six years, we've been able to mentor nearly 2,000 students from all over the globe to show them the endless possibilities of math and science and maybe inspired the next generation of automotive engineers and technology professionals."
The SADC is a co-sponsored program between Honeywell and SAE International, in which small groups of middle school students ages 11 to 14 execute a multi-disciplinary curriculum into the development of their final project. During the six to eight week in-class school curriculum, the students are connected to Honeywell engineers, who mentor and guide them through this process, giving the students an opportunity to connect and engage with the automotive industry.
More than 75 Honeywell volunteers assisted approximately 300 students across Europe, North America and Asia in the challenge to develop and present a model of a working toy car, made to meet performance criteria and appealing to a market need.
For more information, and videos of winning entries, please visit the Honeywell SADC Challenge website at SADC Challenge

France has issued a veiled threat to take revenge against an American tycoon who suggested its workers are lazy.
When the French government asked Maurice Taylor's firm to take over a failing tyre factory in Amiens, he declined, saying: "How stupid do you think we are?"
The plain-talking chief executive of the US tyre firm Titan International went on to deride France's "so-called workers" who get "one hour for breaks and lunch, talk for three and work for three".
His comments provoked fury in France, where industry minister Arnaud Montebourg accused him of "perfect ignorance".
In a letter to the financial daily Les Echos, he suggested that if Titan, which has a UK plant in Kidderminster, tried to sell tyres in France, the authorities would have their revenge. "You can count on me to have the competent government agencies survey your imported tyres with a redoubled zeal," he said.
Mr Taylor has said he might buy a Chinese or Indian firm to export cheap tyres to France, but the minister's threat is unlikely to trouble a man known as 'The Grizz' for his tough negotiating style.
Mr Montebourg said there were 4 200 US firms in France, and 'in contrast to your ridiculous and derogatory comments, all these companies know and appreciate the quality and productivity of the French workforce'. - Daily Mail

This is just perfect, and my daughter loved it! Thank you for an easy transaction and speedy shipping!
Organizing and Making things is my passion! I am so lucky to be living that passion!
Welcome to MooreMagnets!
I have loved organizing and making things since I was a little girl! Spending hours in my room cleaning up and organizing all of my toys, and all of my toys' toys!

I am now a professional organizer, and sole creative maker and designer behind MooreMagnets. I also love gardening and spending time with my husband and our 3 boys. Living on almost 7 acres in central North Carolina has afforded me to fully embrace all of my loves!
You can usually find me in my workshop, in the garden, in my lovely organized home office, chasing boys, or working with clients.
I hope you will find something beautiful that helps your life become more organized. And, if you need an item made to a custom size, just send me a message!

All magnet boards are created using galvanized metal. My magnet boards hold virtually all magnets just like a refrigerator (not stainless steel models) or file cabinet. Magnetic paint does not provide a surface strong enough to hold a piece of paper under most magnets and therefore is never used in my creations.
I do not use neodymium magnets (the silver ones) as they can be quite dangerous and many children's toys have been recalled because they contain these strong magnets. However, I do use magnets that are stronger than regular craft magnets and hold an average of 3 4x6 photos, 4 pieces of standard copy paper, and 4 business cards.
The metal that I use is galvanized and will not rust under normal conditions.
** Explanation of sizes of Magnet Boards! ** (all are listed in inches)
Please note that these are not the only sizes available - I can cut almost any size that you would like as I do all of the cutting and metal work myself
Small (up to 143 square inches) - 8x8, 9x9, 3x13, 10x10, 6x12
Medium (144 to 255 square inches) - 12x12, 6x24, 12x18,
Large (256 to 399 square inches) - 16x16, 16x20, 8.5x36
Extra Large (400 to 800 square inches) - 18x24, 24x24
Giant (801+ square inches) - 24x36
Larger Sizes are available for local pick up and delivery within central North Carolina
**Custom Board Information**
I take great pride in my creations and would love to make a custom magnet board for you. Just send me an email with your size specifications, if you would like the frame or no frame, and your zip code for a quote. You may want to check out the "Build Your Own" section to see if the size you want is already listed.

Hartwick College Will Offer 3-Year Bachelor's Degree, for the Recession-Savvy Student
If four years' tuition is too expensive, how about three? The economic downturn is reviving an idea that colleges have experimented with for years, with limited success.
Hartwick College, in Oneonta, N.Y., today became the latest college to announce a three-year bachelor's degree, which it says will reduce costs for students and their families by 25 percent, or more than $40,000. Hartwick's optional three-year program, which formalizes an approach some students already pursue individually, will begin this fall, allowing both current and new students to enroll.
Three-year degrees have come and gone, but the concept got a strong endorsement in a speech this month by Sen. Lamar Alexander, a Tennessee Republican who is a former secretary of education.
Although designed to cut costs, the Hartwick program will also maintain its "rich educational experience," the college said in a news release. Students who participate will take 40 rather than 30 credits a year, keeping their summers free for study abroad, internships, or employment. Service learning, athletics, and other activities will still be accessible to three-year students, according to Meg Nowak, Hartwick's vice president for student life.
Students must finish high school with at least a 3.0 grade-point average to qualify for the "accelerated route to graduation," which includes priority course registration and special academic advising. But some majors, including anthropology, biochemistry, German, and music, are not taking part.
Still, Hartwick officials consider the three-year degree an important step. "We believe it is imperative for the higher-education community to preserve the option of a top-quality education for any student who seeks it, regardless of the prevailing economic challenges," Margaret L. Drugovich, the college's president, said in a written statement. —Sara Lipka

Watch Ron's easy to follow instructions on how to refinish a cabinet
Add Subtle Color and Visual Texture to Living Room Walls with Rag-Roll Painting Techniques in Neutral Tints and Satin Sheens
by Ron Hazelton on January 11, 2017 in News
by Ron Hazelton on December 18, 2016 in News

Viewing Project in Painting & Decorating > Painting Techniques
Now when it comes to refinishing, you usually don't think of using water. But the fact is that all of these products over here: a sealer, stains and top coats, are water-based. Not only are they lower in toxicity and easy to clean up, but they can produce some really nice results.
Every top-notch finishing job starts with good surface preparation. When I'm hand sanding, I use 220 grit paper and move with the grain in straight, even strokes. Most of the time, though, I use a palm sander. It's fast and pretty much eliminates the risk of cross grain scratches.
A paper towel does a good job of picking up the last bit of sawdust. Before using the stain, I give it a good stirring to thoroughly distribute any pigment that may have settled to the bottom. A synthetic bristle brush is my tool of choice for applying this stain. Because the stain is water-based, I would avoid using a brush with natural bristles. I lay the stain on evenly, working with the grain.
A piece of cheesecloth or a soft cotton rag is ideal for wiping off the excess stain. On this side of the board, I'm wiping after five minutes. On the opposite side, I've waited 15 minutes before wiping. The longer the stain is left, the deeper the color.
Dry brushing is another technique. The brush picks up excess stain, which is then unloaded onto a cloth pad. This method creates a more opaque effect that can help conceal irregular woodgrain or color. Stains can produce a blotchy appearance in some soft woods like pine.
To avoid this, I often use a pre-stain conditioner. This water-based version partially seals the wood, enabling the stain to penetrate more uniformly and wipe off more evenly. Water-base stains dry quickly. In two to three hours, they are ready to top coat.
I usually half-fill a one-quart container so that I can gently tap the brush on the sides to remove excess material. I flow out the top coat in the direction of the grain. Whenever I can, I finish with long, straight, overlapping strokes, a technique called "striking off."
In between top coats, I sand with 220-grit paper and dust thoroughly. When I'm finished, the cleanup will be soap and water. So for your next refinishing project, you might want to consider water. Cheers.

NHLPA official offers optimistic outlook
NHL Players' Association special counsel Steve Fehr on Monday offered an optimistic outlook for ending the league's two-month lockout.
Speaking at the Prime Time Sports Management Conference in Toronto, Fehr said three issues must be resolved for an agreement to be reached between the league and union.
The issues are: the split of league revenue, player contract rules and deciding how lockout damage is going to be resolved, Fehr said.
The issue of contracts — how they may be constructed in the future and how current contracts will be honored if the league's financial structure is altered significantly — weighs on players' minds.
"The money is going to be 50/50 eventually anyway," Penguins winger Pascal Dupuis said. "We just don't want to go backwards. That's the main concern. That's the deal they have on the table right now. It's basically take it or leave it."
The NHL has canceled games through Nov. 30.
A shortened season, something the league hasn't resorted to since a labor dispute in 1994-1995, remains possible if an agreement is reached.
