Palgrave is a suburban community, located in the Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel, Ontario, Canada. It is located about 10 km north of Bolton and about 50 km northwest of Toronto. Palgrave is located east of Orangeville, south of Alliston, west of Newmarket and north of Brampton.
Palgrave was originally called Buckstown after Brian Dolan, nicknamed Barney or Buck. He managed the Western Hotel after it was built in 1846. In 1869, postal authorities renamed the community Palgrave.
In 1877 Hamilton & North-Western Railway was constructed through the centre of Palgrave, from the southwest to the northeast. This railway was taken over by the Grand Trunk Railway in 1888, and later absorbed by Canadian National Railways. Much of the track throughout this region was damaged by flooding in 1954 as a result of Hurricane Hazel and had to be rebuilt. Palgrave was a flag station on the CNR. Although there was a station with a passenger waiting room, the Agent at this location was removed in 1931. The station was located on the west side of the track (west of Hwy 50). Scheduled passenger service ended in July 1960 and the station was removed shortly thereafter. The rails over this section were removed in 1986.
In 1906 the Canadian Pacific Railway was constructed from Bolton towards Muskoka. This line passes to the east of Palgrave and remains as part of the CP mainline between Toronto and Sudbury.
Canadian artist David B. Milne (1882–1953) lived in Palgrave for a short time from 1929 to 1932 and painted a number of scenes there. His work Kitchen Chimney depicts a view of the town's Elm Tree Hotel and is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Canada.
Small housing developments were built around Palgrave in the 1950s, followed by estate home development and subdivisions beginning in the late 1960s.
Research Tips
The primary source for basic documents (vital statistics, land records, wills) for people who lived in the Province of Ontario is the Archives of Ontario, 134 Ian Macdonald Blvd, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M7A 2C5.
Early Records
Civil registration did not begin in the province until 1869. Before then there may be church records of baptisms and burials. For the most part these are still held by the denomination who recorded them. Copies of marriage records made pre-1869 had to be sent by individual clergymen to the registrar of the county in which the marriage took place. These marriage records are available through Ontario Archives, on micorfilm through LDS libraries, and on paid and unpaid websites, but because they were copied at the registrars' offices, they cannot be considered a primary source.
Vital Records after 1869
Birth, marriage and death registrations are not open to the public until a specific number of years after the event occurred. Births to 1915 are now available [October 2014]; dates for marriages and deaths are later. Birth and death registration was not universally carried out in the early years after its adoption. Deaths were more apt to be reported than births for several years. The more rural the area, the less likely it would be that these happenings were reported to the authorities.
Land Records and Wills
Information on how to access land records and wills is best sought on the Archives of Ontario website. An ancestor's land holding might be found on Canadian County Atlas Digital Project if he was in occupancy circa 1878.
Association for the Preservation of Ontario Land Registry Office Documents (APOLROD). A list of Land Registry Offices for all Counties of Ontario.
The original censuses are in the hands of Library and Archives Canada, known to Canadians as "LAC". Copies of original microfilms are online at the LAC website for all censuses up to 1911. Each census database is preceded with an explanation of the geographical area covered, the amount of material retained (some census division material has been lost), the questions on the census form, and whether there is a name index. Census divisions were redrawn as the population increased and more land was inhabited. The 1921 census is only available through Ancestry.ca, but it is free-to-view.

This is an amazing review. Seriously, it inspired me to do more research into the whole "Jesus People" movement 40 years ago, it's fascinating to think how recently churches denounced this stuff.

LF 'un'conference 16/09/10
As mentioned in a previous Blog post I have been dabbling with the idea of arranging an unconference for a number of internal Learning Facilitators on the subject of 'Using Technology to Enhance Learning'. Well after months of planning (read flapping!) it finally happened, want to find out what happened?…. read on… I decided right from the outset to showcase the various technologies and platforms that are available to enhance learning activities, so what better place to start than creating a digital set of Joining Instructions as opposed to our traditional paper-based options, feedback to this approach was encouraging and I am hoping that this will generate some interest from the Learning Facilitators that attended. The day itself kicked off with everybody arriving between 0800-0830hrs, they were greeted by a Captain Caveman poster (thanks Sam ;-)) which invited them to park any 'negative' thoughts that they had about using technology to enhance learning before the unconference started. It was interesting to read everybodys views and in particular to gain an insight into some of the concerns of people for whom using these technologies is 'new ground' – all in all a very simple exercise, but an extremely valuable one. The unconference kicked off with a keynote address from Alison Hattersley from The Success Factory on the subject of the 'New World' using a piece of tech that everybody seemed impressed with which was PaperShow. There were a number of great soundbites from this keynote but what really struck home for me was the statement "if you always do what you've always done, you WONT EVEN get what you've always got" – the justification behind this twist on a well-known phrase, is that due to the pace of change in the 'New World', doing business as usual means that you will just get left behind……… There were some (in my opinion) strong challenges to the use of technology during this keynote that I feel led us down a path that we didn't really need to go down i.e. arguing that emails are bad because they distract you from your work… aren't emails in themselves work? And if they aren't then ignore them… anyways we were soon back on track and the floor was handed over to little old me! I conducted a number of small icebreakers designed to not only allow attendees to introduce themselves but also to get some hands on with Learning Technologies straight away. Everybody participated in creating an iPadio podcast (which I subsequently lost, due to my mobile phone losing the signal during upload – (note to self: use the traditional 'dial-up' method next time!!!) Everybody then got the opportunity to look at some everyday and some not-so everyday items of hardware that could be used for learning activities; they were then asked to describe how that particular item could be used to enhance the delivery of learning events within their specific subject areas, this is what they had to say. What was really encouraging from my perspective were the ideas that were being generated, I can only hope that the Learning Facilitators get the opportunity to put them into practice. We then moved on to the subject of Twitter, which I know was of specific interest to many of the facilitators present. As this was an unconference and I was committed to taking a social constructionist approach to the day, I broke the attendees into 2 x groups and allowed them approx 20-30 minutes of online Twitter research time prior asking them to present their findings back to the group. I particularly like this approach...Read More
At last! A fruitful meeting!
Regular readers will be aware that I recently met with RSC North West. I've recently opened an ipadio account, so here is my reflection on the meeting...Read More

After more than a decade together, leading up to the release of their seventh studio album, "Heaven," on May 29, The Walkmen found a little time to reflect.
The band recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of its first album, "Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me is Gone," by playing the older material during a series of shows.
"We ended up playing these Bruce Springsteen-length shows -- three-hour things -- which was very different for us," said Pete Bauer, a multi-instrumentalist who plays bass and organ.
"Heaven" continues that theme of longevity for the band, Bauer said.
"We've just gone around the bend so many times. We're very aware that not a lot of rock 'n' roll bands end up making that many records that end up being what they want them to be," Bauer said. "I think that we're very proud that we've kind of figured out a new way to do it every time. This one just feels a lot grander and bigger than the previous ones."
Critics, such as Stereogum, have agreed, calling "Heaven" the band's best album yet and naming it No. 2 on its running list of the best albums of the year.
They even compared it to the band's NBA Finals, which is fitting because Bauer said the whole band, whose members grew up together in the Washington, D.C., area, is made up of serious sports fans.
Bauer and his bandmates -- singer Hamilton Leithauser, guitarist Paul Maroon, drummer Matt Barrick and bassist Walter Martin -- went to New York, but now the members are spread between Philadelphia (where Bauer lives), Brooklyn and New Orleans.
Bauer spoke to ESPN Playbook about his sports roots, the new album and the lengths he has gone to watch a playoff baseball game during a show.
Are you still loyal to the Washington teams, even living in Philly?
It's complicated, because D.C.'s a really hard place to really love these teams. Like the Redskins. Whenever the Redskins, something good happens, you have this feeling from childhood that returns. And then by the end of the season, it's really hard to stick with it. It's amazing, because when you're growing up there in the '80s and '90s, you're just totally die-hard. But Dan Snyder's done a great job of making sure it's hard to really love them. Hamilton, our singer, he sticks with them more than I can. In preseason, you're like, "OK, I'm in. I'm back in. Count me in." And then it's something over the course of the season. It's just hard. They're so bad.
So are you feeling these childhood emotions rushing back with the Robert Griffin III era?
Yeah, definitely. You have the "Hope" posters and everything. All right, maybe this is it. He's such a likeable guy. Maybe his likeability wins out over Snyder and [Mike] Shanahan and all those clowns. [Laughs.] He seems like a big enough personality that D.C. can finally embrace. There just hasn't been anybody on that team even that's embraceable, for a while.
You did a SportsNation chat a few years ago where you talked about being a huge Kentucky basketball fan as well.
I married into it about seven years ago. I didn't know anything about Kentucky basketball. I'm a big NBA fan but I hadn't been that big of a college basketball fan in a while. But my in-laws wear blue six out of seven days of the week. They go to every game for the football and basketball games. I definitely had to sign up. I really love them now. I really like [John] Calipari and their whole program now more than I did at first [in the Billy Gillispie years]. I'm fully invested now.
One of the reasons I struggled liking Kentucky and college sports at first, when I first got married, is I think it's really strange that guys at these huge programs don't get paid. I have a weird thing with that. The way Calipari does it, and even if this is lip service, he says it's all about the kids, and the draft is bigger than the championship, and stuff like that. At least he's saying that. To me, I can kind of get behind that.
As great as they were, and they're sort of the bad guys by virtue of being so good this year, at the same time all the players are so likeable. Anthony Davis and [Michael] Kidd-Gilchrist were so likeable. I loved it. I had so much fun.
You guys have been gone from D.C. since the Nationals began playing. But in Philadelphia, it seems like the Phillies and the local musicians are especially connected.
Oh, totally. There's a lot of die-hard sports fans in music. If you saw them walking around, you wouldn't guess it. Being in Philly, you definitely gravitate to the Phillies, if there's any Philly sports team that you're going to like quickly. I never really liked New York baseball teams at all. In fact, I sort of disliked them. The Phillies are very, very likeable. I've gone to a lot of games with my son. In fact, I caught a foul ball last year, which was amazing for me.
I've seen Philadelphia shows where the band advertised that they'd also have the Phillies game on. Doesn't that seem odd?
We had a real problem with that in Philly in last year's playoffs. It's a disaster when that happens. We didn't want to be on the stage. We had this sold-out show at the Trocadero, which is very exciting any other night. It's like, "Oh my god, what are we going to do? There are TVs on everywhere." The promoter guaranteed there would be TVs so they could watch both things at the same time. Over the years we've had a couple of run-ins like that. We played in Cleveland when the Indians were in the playoffs. You'd be playing and you'd look at the crowd, and they'd all be facing the other way.
We played in London when England was in the [quarterfinals] of the Euro [in 1994]. That's as big of a deal outside of the World Cup as it gets. We held off for as long as we could, and it went into overtime with the kicks and everything, and England lost. Then we had to go on stage literally that minute. That was a heck of a scene.
Do you change your playlist at all? Or just play some condolence music?
It's hard ... I think what we did is we went very aggressive. We have enough dark, minor hell-rock sort of music to get by in that scene, when the people were very angry. You're struggling against people who have really been let down at that moment.
It sounds like you make ways on the road to watch sporting events?
I hid an iPhone in my piano last year during one of the Phillies' playoff games while we were on stage, so I could watch the game.
With the live stream playing?
It was like Game 6, and we had to go on stage in the seventh inning. So I downloaded this thing, and then hid the phone in my piano. Our guitar player couldn't watch along, so I'd be flashing him the score with hand motions.
Touring is a little bit on the dull side, except for the show. There's plenty of time, like if there's a Sunday and there's nothing to do, going to a sports bar in the middle of nowhere is about as great a thing as you can do. I think it's probably why so many musicians end up liking sports so much. Because it's something to follow the whole time.
Any other brushes with sports greatness?
Jerry Stackhouse came to one of our shows one time, when he played for Philadelphia. It was in this little club ... it was right when we started out. And he walked in and quickly turned and walked out the door. [Laughs.] He thought it was like this big party that he wanted to go to, but then realized it didn't look so great to him.

Art comes down to make room for new pieces
What goes up, must come down in downtown Grand Junction.
Work began early Saturday morning to take down multiple sculptures that were part of the city's Art on the Corner Exhibit during the past year and replace them with different sculptures.
Lyons artist John King watched workers erect his new "Green Snap Dragon," a powder-coated, steel sculpture that took him nearly a month to build. King's towering lime green sculpture stands above the roundabout at Seventh and Main streets where his other sculpture stood before its removal Saturday.
The 26th annual Art on the Corner Exhibit's Sculpture Change took several hours and involved forklifts, cranes and dozens of volunteers. Nineteen new sculptures were installed Saturday along Main Street.
King hopes pedestrians are drawn to the snapdragon's tumbling pieces and floating quality.
"You get the sensation they are some sort of being," King said of his sculptures. "Less mechanical, more organic. That's what I'm going for."
The sculpture change was part of this year's Grand Junction Art & Jazz Festival taking place downtown through today. Art on the Corner was one of the first outdoor exhibits of its kind in the country. The concept of installing art on or near sidewalks on busy city streets is an obvious way to beautify an area and give the public free access to art.
For those reasons, King said, he is pleased to be part of the 2010 exhibit.

Here's a short guide to the books I've been raving about and pressing upon my colleagues all year. I hope you love them as much as I did! Want to know what I'm reading at this very moment? Follow me on Twitter @LizEgan.
Maine by Courtney Sullivan (Knopf)
Tree generations of Kelleher women descend on their oceanfront family compound for a supposedly-fun summer vacation that goes terribly wrong–which is, of course, exactly what makes this novel impossible to put down (or forget).
Bossypants by Tina Fey (Reagan Arthur)
You already know she's hilarious, but Tina Fey's memoir proves there's more to our favorite SNL-writer than her dead-on impression of Sarah Palin. Her take on being a working mom strikes the perfect cocktail of hilarious and poignant, with a splash of her signature self-deprecation thrown in for good measure.
The Paris Wife by Paula McLain (Ballantine)
Before he became Papa Hemingway, Ernest was married to Hadley Richardson, a 28 year-old St. Louis spinster who give up everything to run off to Paris with him. Welcome to the Jazz Age, dine with the Fitzgeralds–and brace yourself for the heartache of this doomed but oh-so-romantic starter marriage.
State of Wonder by Ann Patchett (Harper Collins)
She does it again–possibly with even more nail biting plot-twists than in Bel Canto. A scientist from a pharmaceutical company sets off for Brazil to track down a beloved colleague who's missing. While in the jungle, she confronts a ghost from her past–and lots of frightening questions about her own future.
Blood, Bones & Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef by Gabrielle Hamilton (Random House)
Hands-down the best foodie memoir ever. Now the maestro of simple, delicious food at Prune in the East Village, Hamilton took a circuitous path (from rebel-without-a-clue to camp chef to corporate caterer) to get there. Her story is unforgettable and her writing leaves you hungry for more.
The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides (Farrar, Straus & Giroux)
First of all, just to be clear: the author's name is pronounced like this: You-jen-NEED-eez. His third novel tells the story what happens to a trio of smart (occasionally too smart) English majors who graduate from Brown in 1982. Equal parts love story, travelogue and exploration of the boundaries of friendship, this is a tale to sink your teeth into.
The Long Goodbye by Meghan O'Rourke (Riverhead)
Yes, you will have to read this memoir of the author's mom's death from cancer with a jumbo-sized box of Kleenex nearby. But please-oh-please don't be scared away by the sadness of this book–it's also gorgeous, poetic and inspiring. Think A Year of Magical Thinking for a younger generation, and written by someone you'll want to invite out for drinks (or several).
You Know When the Men Are Gone by Siobhan Fallon (Amy Einhorn/Putnam)
We read about the war every day. In these loosely connected stories about military wives holding down fort (literally!) at Fort Hood, we see the heartbreaking and often-inspiring fallout from smaller skirmishes on the home front. Keep your eye on Fallon–she writes what she knows.
The Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal by Conor Grennan (Morrow)
A 29 year-old American embarks on a three-month stint as a volunteer in a Kathmandu orphanage only to discover that the kids in his care aren't actually orphans at all, they're victims of child-trafficking. His quest to reunite them with their families is both Herculean and Odyssean–a real-life adventure story proving that faith (and true believers, not necessarily in the religious sense) really can move mountains.
Birds of Paradise by Diana Abu-Jaber (Norton)
The city of Miami is a character unto itself in this elegant page-turner told from the alternating perspectives of a family who youngest, Felice, has run away from home. You'll be rooting for a reunion at the end, but Abu-Jaber's descriptions of lush beaches and the glittery downtown are alluring enough to inspire you to book a ticket today.

Matt Harrison has 'butterflies' throwing to hitters in Texas Rangers camp Friday
SURPRISE, Ariz. - Left-hander Matt Harrison threw to hitters for the first time in more than 11 months on Friday morning in the Texas Rangers' camp.
Harrison threw about 40 pitches, divided between from a full windup and the stretch, in a live batting practice session. It was his first appearance against hitters since a start on April 6, 2013. Harrison underwent two back surgeries and missed the remainder of the season after that start.
It was a significant moment for Harrision. He was ready and on the field at about 7:15 a.m., 90 minutes before the scheudled start.
"Butterflies," Harrison said. "It was nice to face hitters again. Very encouraged."
Harrison's schedule calls for a bullpen session on Sunday and pitching in a "B" game against Kansas City on Tuesday. He is likely to open the season on the disabled list.
"We're slow-pacing him," manager Ron Washington said.

In a series of bizarre tweets, Shaquille O'Neal threatened to beat up Jose Canseco late Saturday evening. The back-and-forth began when Canseco tweeted "@shaq hey [expletive]" seemingly unprovoked.
The NBA legend didn't take the disparagement lightly and fired back at the former Oakland slugger. This is likely just another cry for attention from Canseco, but if O'Neal ever followed through on his threats, it may please many MLB steroid users that Canseco "snitched" on.
Check out Shaq's responses below.

We all know the South claims bragging rights to smoked pulled pork, and Texas holds the brisket as its holy barbecue grail. But were you aware that California crowns the tri-tip roast as its king of the grill? It does. And, rightfully so.
Locals know it as Santa Maria tri-tip for where this cut first came to light in the 1950s, and is still among the area's greatest claim to barbecue fame — and glory. It's that good.
Tri-tip, sometimes called bottom sirloin roast and triangle roast, is a hindquarter cut from the bottom sirloin that's blessed with a rich flavor and not too much, nor too little, marbling. In fact, it qualifies as lean according to government guidelines, meaning a 3.5-oz. serving boasts less than 10 grams of total fat, 4.5 grams or less of saturated fat and less than 95 milligrams of cholesterol. Each steer yields only two tri-tip roasts. On looks alone, this boneless slab brings to mind a baby brisket.
Part of the tri-tip's appeal is its elongated triangular shape.
It starts out fairly thick and wide at one end, gradually gaining girth toward the middle, which can be several inches thick, then the roast tapers down to an obvious point. When the meat is grilled, the oddball shape allows you to offer rare slices from the plump section, and more well-done from the tip, thus pleasing everyone. But, note that the tri-tip is better when grilled not past medium-rare or medium. The longer you let a tri-tip linger over the flames, the tougher and drier this lean cut gets.
On the other hand, the tri-tip isn't called a roast for nothing. It lends itself beautifully to braising or roasting and shines brilliantly when prepared in a slow cooker.
Tri-tips come in slightly different sizes, but they don't top out at much more than three pounds or so. But pay attention when you spot a tri-tip. Unless you find one labeled "hand trimmed," you're also buying a thick layer of flab called a fat cap that covers one side. And that's the side you won't see facing up in the package. So, pick it up, then try to peek to see how thick that fat is because you don't want to pay around $9 per lb. for excess flab. Some folks like to keep all of the fat on the meat while grilling so that it bastes the tri-tip. Sounds great in theory, but the reality is not so hot when you consider that all of that melted fat easily causes five-alarm flare-ups.
Tri-tip is a fantastic hunk of beef, but I'm not going to kid you. It's no hoity-toity filet mignon (it's more flavorful). It's not even an uppity rib-eye (far less marbling and fat). It's a little chewy when grilled, but not to imply tough — unless you cook it to death. When making sandwiches or simply serving sliced grilled or roasted tri-tip, be sure to thinly slice the meat against the grain so that you end up with more tender pieces. The goal is a fragrant pile of rosy tri-tip, not a fat slab.
Basque-style Garbanzo Beans
(Makes 12 servings)
Santa Maria tri-tip barbecue traditionally includes pinquito beans, native to the area. But these savory Basque-style beans provide a perfect side dish.
1 lb. dried garbanzo beans, cleaned and soaked in water overnight
A few hunks of Trader Joe's uncured applewood-smoked bacon ends and pieces (or 5 strips of thick bacon, or 1 smoked turkey wing or a smoked ham hock)
4 large shallots, thinly sliced into rings
1 green bell pepper, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced or crushed
1 tsp. smoked paprika (I like hot, but you can use sweet if you prefer.)
1 T. dried, crushed oregano
4 or 5 whole bay leaves
1 14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes
1 tsp. sugar
Splash of Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Water or stock
Steps: Place a large Dutch oven over medium heat, add the bacon or other smoked meat . If you're not using bacon, add 1 T. of olive oil to the pan. Stir the bacon around until it gets crispy. If you're using the bacon hunks, ham hock or smoked turkey wing, stir them around in the hot oil for a couple of minutes to slightly brown the meat.
Lower the heat and add the shallots and bell pepper, stir until veggies are soft. Add a dab more olive oil if your pan is too dry.
Add the garlic, smoked paprika, oregano and bay leaves. Stir for a minute or so, but make sure not to burn your garlic.
Raise the heat to medium high and add the tomatoes, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any bits. Add a can of water or stock, letting the mixture bubble for a few minutes.
Add the sugar and Worcestershire sauce, and stir in the beans. Now, add 4 cans of water or stock.
Add about 1 tsp. of salt and pepper. You can use more salt later when the beans are done and you taste for seasonings.
Bring the mixture to a boil, uncovered, then lower the heat to simmer. Cook covered on low for about 3 hours. Stir occasionally.
After about 3 hours, remove the lid, turn up the heat and let the garbanzos bubble lightly until much of the liquid has evaporated and thickened slightly.

Perfectly Grilled Tri-Tip Roast
(Makes 6 servings)
1 2- to 3-lb. tri-tip roast
½ cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1 shallot, finely minced
1 T. dried oregano
1 tsp. freshly cracked black pepper
1 lime
Steps: For the marinade, combine the olive oil, garlic, shallot, oregano and black pepper in a heat-proof container and microwave for 45 seconds on high.
When the marinade has cooled slightly, add the juice and zest from the whole lime. Set marinade aside to cool completely.
Meanwhile, trim the layer of fat from the tri-tip.
Place the tri-tip in a large plastic zip-close bag and add the cooled marinade. Press or massage the bag to coat the meat with the marinade, which looks like a cross between a rub and a marinade. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
About 45 minutes before you're ready to grill, take the tri-tip from the refrigerator to bring it almost to room temperature so that it'll cook evenly.
Remove the meat from the bag and leave as much of the marinade on the meat as you can. Sprinkle the tri-tip with salt to taste.
To grill: I use a gas grill, which I heat to 500 degrees to get a good crusty sear on the meat. Cook the tri-tip for about 4 or 5 minutes on both sides until you get a good sear on each side.
Lower the heat to about 400 degrees, and cook each side an additional 8-10 minutes. Depending on the size, the tri-tip should be medium rare.
When done, remove the meat from the grill and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice thinly against the grain.

Bonus Recipe: South of the Border Shredded Tri-Tip
(Makes 8-10 servings)
Bonus Recipe: South of the Border Shredded Tri-Tip
For marinade:
¼ cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 T. dried oregano
1 finely chopped chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
Juice from one Mexican or key lime, about 1 T.
1 tri-tip roast about 3 lbs., trimmed
For the tri-tip:
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 bay leaves
2 poblano chilies, roasted over an open flame until charred all over, then diced
5 garlic cloves, crushed and lightly browned in 1 tsp. of olive oil. Be careful not to burn garlic.
1 14.5-oz. can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. black pepper
Steps: For the marinade, combine oil and garlic in a heat-proof cup and heat in microwave for about 45 seconds on high. Set aside until cool.
Once garlic oil is cool, combine with oregano, chipotle pepper and lime juice. Place in a large zip lock bag and add the tri-tip. Massage the bag so that the roast is completely coated with the marinade paste.
Refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours. Remove the marinated tri-tip from the refrigerator about 45 minutes prior to cooking.
For the tri-tip: Place the onion slices and bay leaves on the bottom of the slow cooker.
Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
Place the tri-tip and marinade on top of the onion and bay leaves. Pour the tomato mixture over the roast. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for about 8 hours. Tri-tip should be easy to shred when done.
Perfect for burritos or tacos. Shredded tri-tip can be tightly wrapped in plastic and frozen.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are rumored to be considering dealing star forward Kevin Love prior to NBA Draft night later this month.
ProBasketballDraft.com hints the Wolves now fear Love has grown so disenchanted with the thought of remaining with the organization to keep him on the roster perhaps runs the risk of him having a negative influence on other players.
"The distraction will only get worse the longer he's there," one GM told ProBasketballDraft.
The Bulls, Lakers, Celtics, Rockets, Cavaliers, Suns, and Warriors all figure to be major players for the sixth-year veteran's services. Love averaged 26 points, 13 rebounds, and four assists this past season, but has yet to lead the Wolves to the playoffs.
The price undoubtedly will be steep for the 25-year-old All-Star forward. Love recently hung out in Boston with Celtics guard Rajon Rondo and management seems to have little problem with making that a permanent partnership. Gifted with several first-round picks over the next year, Boston appears willing to offer up any combination of them in hopes of acquiring Love.
In Chicago, the Bulls could offer a pair of 2014 first-round picks, as well as the expiring contract of veteran forward Carlos Boozer and such young and emerging talent as Taj Gibson, Jimmy Butler, and Tony Snell. The Cavs boast the top pick in this month's loaded draft, while the Suns are rumored to be offering the tandem of Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe and the Rockets Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik.
And still the wildcard could be the Lakers, where Love's heart has long been thought to be. The native Californian played his college ball at UCLA and grew up cheering for his hometown Lakers.
Armed with the No. 7 pick in the June 26 draft, the Lakers are desperate to add a young star to play alongside Kobe Bryant and perhaps serve as the face of the franchise whenever the Hall of Fame-bound guard might finally choose to hang them up.

once apon a time there was a girl with the blondest of hair and eyes that glow like glow sticks on a dark night. She was sweet like candy but as beautiful a rose. the way she spoke almost made me choke. she gave me butterflies but i hope she doesnt look at other guys. i want to be her prince but thats only if i can convince. she makes me happy very happy indeed. we have the same interests and wants and needs. she may find me a but cheesy but in the real world im just a sweetie. she is different like a red rose in a white rose bush. i think i love her but i dont know if she loves me? i want a happy ending happy indeed no sad ones that end with me in need.

Miami, Fla. (26 September 2012) – When Ozz Negri is not behind the wheel of Michael Shank Racing's No. 60 LiveOn Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype, the Brazilian driver can most likely be found partaking in some other form of intense fitness training whether it be karting under the hot South Florida sun with MSR co-driver John Pew, or spending much of his time cycling, running, or swimming.
The Escape to Miami Olympic distance event sees athletes complete a rigorous course – a .9-mile swim, 24.8-mile bike ride, and 6.2-mile run – with over 2,000 participants competing in the sprint and olympic distance races. Negri completed the course in 2:40.41 which is a 28-minute improvement since his first attempt at the event in 2010.
"I could not believe my time," said Negri. "I was feeling good and when I got out of the water to the transition area I looked at my time and as (my wife) Claudia was there cheering me on, I looked at her and said 'this could be good'. When I again got to the transition area from the bike I told her again 'this is good'. I was really feeling strong and improved my time by 28 minutes from when I did the Escape in 2010."
Negri first got the "triathlon bug" in 2010 when a training partner mentioned the event to him while biking. In just his first triathlon, without any specific training for it, Negri crossed the finish line at 3:08.58.
Since then, Negri has done three more triathlons (Trilogy at Key Biscayne, Egg Hunt Triathlon, and this year's Escape to Miami). He also did an Ironman event this past spring in which he swam 1.2-miles, biked 56-miles, and ran 13.1 miles with an impressive time of 6:00.58 in just his first attempt.
"I just have so much fun doing triathlons because it keeps me motivated and sharp," offered Negri. "My Grigio bike rocked and I use my Continental Tires on and off the race track so it was good. John and I have also been doing a lot of karting laps at Homestead. One of the runs this week was a 53-lap run and just ask Gustavo Yacaman, Ricky Taylor or Dion Von Molke, every day it gets harder to keep John behind. We're looking forward to getting to Lime Rock this weekend!"
The 2012 Rolex 24 Champion shows no signs of slowing down any time soon – both on and off the track. Negri and Pew have shown strong pace throughout the entire 2012 Rolex Series season and are set for the season-finale event at Lime Rock Park this weekend. The duo hopes to give Michael Shank Racing its third consecutive podium finish at the track. Pew and Negri were runner-up in last year's event.

Challenges facing the implementation of the national guidelines for antenatal screening in the Acornhoek district
McInTosh, Belinda Mary
BACKGROUND: Common preventable causes of maternal and perinatal mortality such as HIV, anaemia, gestational proteinuric hypertension, syphilis and Rhesus disorders can be identified early with simple antenatal screening, however this screening is not always efficiently and effectively done. It is critical to identify challenges and possible solutions to ensure effective implementation of the national antenatal screening guidelines for these conditions. Even within existing inadequate resources, there is always room for improved efficiency. METHODS: The aim of this study was to evaluate the implementation of the national guidelines for antenatal screening in the Acornhoek district, Mpumalanga. It was a prospective, cross-sectional study of the antenatal screening programme in the Acornhoek district. Data was collected from an analysis of antenatal and medical records of all women who received antenatal care in the Acornhoek district and ultimately delivered at Tintswalo Hospital, Acornhoek, during the study period of one calendar month. Standardised questionnaires were administered at each of the 15 antenatal clinics referring to Tintswalo Hospital to identify the challenges preventing the effective implementation of the national guidelines for antenatal screening that were experienced by the nurses at the clinics. RESULTS: 428 women were interviewed post partum. 335 were included in the study (87 had received antenatal care out of the district and 6 were unbooked). 85.7% of women had been tested for syphilis antenatally, 84.8% had been tested for anaemia, 72.8% had had blood taken for Rhesus factor and only 64.2% had had pre-test counselling for HIV. 14.3% of women did not have their blood pressure checked at every visit and over 31.4% did not have urine dipstick tests done at every visit. 27% of women booked before 20 weeks, however only 18% had their antenatal bloods taken before 20 weeks. Of the women who had had antenatal blood screening tests done, 18% had not received results by the time of delivery. There was considerable variation between the clinics. Challenges preventing the effective implementation of antenatal screening included variation in knowledge of antenatal screening requirements by clinic staff, barriers to HIV testing, poor infrastructure, equipment and supply problems, laboratory support issues, onsite testing challenges, poor support from the district and passive response to problem solving by clinic staff. CONCLUSIONS: Not all women receiving antenatal care in the Acornhoek district are being screened for HIV, anaemia, GPH, syphilis and Rhesus disorders. From the reasons identified above, interventions such as in-service training of clinic staff in antenatal screening, removing barriers to HIV testing such as appointing lay counsellors at every clinic and offering provider driven or opt-out testing for HIV, improving infrastructure such as installing telephones at every clinic, increasing the laboratory courier service to 5 days a week, introducing on site testing of syphilis, anaemia and Rhesus factor and a rapid pro-active approach to problem solving by district and clinic staff to manage barriers to antenatal screening such as broken equipment and out of stock supplies.

BLACK LIMITED EDITION! With the Zarenbourg, Waldorf reinvents the ePiano for the musicians of the 21st century - with a never before seen lack of compromise; the goal of development was clear from the start: The guitar for the keyboarder. An instrument which completely raises the bar for expressiveness and aesthetics.
To produce an ultra-realistic play feeling, it is equipped with dualcore DSP architecture with continuous 24bit samples. This results in a combination of physical modeling and sampling with a huge 4GB library. It includes the Crème-de-la-crème of pianos: 2 e-pianos with tone fork, 1 e-piano with reed instruments, 1 e-piano with strings, 1 FM e-piano, 1 Clavinet as well as one Grand. A keyboard with 76 keys with hammer mechanics ensure for an authentic play feeling, which is also available in wood. In order to give the sound a special shimmer, 7 effects have been added, which are all competently emulated from popular classics: Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Echo, Autowah, 4-band EQ and Overdrive.
The sound of this instrument has been taken care of by the boys at EMES, who usually build first-class studio monitor speakers; they developed a tuned 2.1 system for the Zarenbourg, which is optimally suited for the housing and delivers exceptional sound with its 60W of power. Via an Ext-In input, a conventional mp3 player can be connected so that, for example the recording from the last band practice can be accompanied again by the Zarenbourg. Never before has one instrument managed to offer so many possibilities and with looks to kill.

Even before completing the forms, you probably have an idea of whether you'll owe money or can expect a refund when you file your federal income tax return.
But do you know your top tax bracket? If not, you might want to find out. Knowing the rate assessed on your last dollar of taxable income can help you make better financial decisions.
Illustration: You're wondering how much you'll save by increasing the pre-tax contribution to your retirement plan. The additional amount invested times your top tax rate provides a quick estimate.
For your personal return, your taxable income will fall into one of six brackets: 10 percent, 15 percent, 25 percent, 28 percent, 33 percent, and 35 percent. The highest rate that applies to any of your income is called your top tax bracket.
Example: For 2012, a married couple filing a joint federal return with taxable income of $145,000 has a top tax bracket of 28 percent.
Keep in mind, however, that this couple would not owe $40,600 in taxes ($145,000 multiplied by 0.28). That's because this rate only applies to the income in that bracket. Since the 28 percent bracket starts at income of $142,701 for 2012, the rate is applied to $2,299 of income ($145,000 minus $142,701). Their income below $142,701 is taxed in the three lower brackets?some at 10 percent, some at 15 percent, and some at 25 percent.
Why should you care? Because planning might allow you to cut your tax bill. In the above example, strategies such as bunching itemized deductions to reduce your taxable income could save you about $643 ($2,299 multiplied by 0.28) by keeping you out of the 28 percent tax bracket.
Contact us for guidance in managing your taxable income in order to cut your 2012 taxes.

Forecast $4.4 billion in stamp duty in 2014-15, up $251 million
Taxes from gambling to rise $139 million to $1.8 billion
Traffic fines up by $92 million to $748 million, with camera fines to rise by $71 million
State tax revenue is booming, up 7.2 per cent for the coming financial year driven by growth in land tax and stamp duty from home sales.
Despite the modest reduction in payroll tax, it remains a good earner for the government, with tax revenue up 4.2 per cent to $5.13 billion in 2014-15 and forecast to hit $6 billion a year by 2017-18. Gambling revenue also up 8.3 per cent in 2014-15.

Unemployment at 6.25 per cent over the next 12 months, falling to 5.5 per cent in 2017-18.
Budget promotes more than 12,000 construction jobs.
Mining boom cools, boosting the state's population and labour force.
Victorian unemployment has been forecast to be steady at 6.25 per cent over the next 12 months, before a bullish projected fall in coming years. By 2017-18 unemployment expected to dip to 5.5 per cent on the back of economic growth. Budget promotes more than 12,000 construction jobs connected to infrastructure promises. Government says decline of car industry part of broader transition to more ''flexible'' Victorian economy, which is able to capitalise on global trends including growing Asian consumption.
- Tom Arup
- Registration up
- Stamp duty on car sales up
- Public transport fares will increase by CPI plus 2.5 per cent from 2015
For a government elected partly on the back of tackling cost of living pressures, this area gets little consideration. The government's online shop, smart energy tool My Power Planner, will be boosted to include gas and solar offers. But If you don't live in Zone 2 or travel in the CBD much on PT, transport will be more expensive. With a tough federal budget next week, not much relief to help pay the bills.

New "Melbourne Rail Link'' between South Yarra and Southern Cross Station, with new stops at Domain and Fishermans Bend
A link to Melbourne Airport from Southern Cross Station
It will cost between $8.5 billion and $11 billion, with $830 million committed over four years in this budget.
A twin rail tunnel is the showpiece of this election-year budget with $830 million committed to the project over the next four years. The Melbourne Rail Link will run from South Yarra to Southern Cross Station, with a separate link to Melbourne Airport. The Cranbourne-Pakenham rail line upgrade is also in the budget. Trams and buses have been given very little love this time around.

Spending on East West Link will top $500 million by July 1 next year
Webb Dock expansion for containers will have cost $470 million by next July
Road maintenance and upgrades nearing $1 billion
Spending on the government's signature project, the East West Link, will top half a billion dollars next financial year. And while the government wants the public to focus on public transport, the real money remains in roads - and the East West Link in particular, which, with its second stage, will cost up to $18 billion. Road maintenance spending will also near $1 billion.

A new tax of $1.30 per $1000 on all planning permits with construction costs over $1 million. To raise $17 million a year from 2015
New planning authority to cost at least $10 million a year to run
The main surprise of the budget for the property sector was a new tax to be introduced by Planning Minister Matthew Guy.
The tax is to be charged at a rate of $1.30 per $1000 in construction costs for all big projects of more than $1 million. It will affect 6 per cent of all planning permits. The money will go to help fund the government's new Metropolitan Planning Authority, which Treasurer Michael O'Brien said was "going to be a critical element of the Plan Melbourne process".

$2.8 billion for schools over five years.
$500 million for new schools and upgrades over four years.
$305 million over four years for students with disabilities.
There were few big surprises for education in this budget, which provided about $500 million for new schools and upgrades. But much of that funding will flow in coming years.
Eleven new schools will be built through public-private partnerships and there is funding for a new school in Prahran. The government also committed $305 million over four years for students with a disability.

$550 million for five new ambulance helicopters to be operational from January 2016.
$73 million over four years for Latrobe Regional Hospital to build a new 30-bed ward and double its emergency department.
$190 million over four years for an elective surgery blitz that will provide about 10,000 operations.
Health expenditure will increase 4.2 per cent next financial year, with hospitals to receive a 4.5 per cent increase on last year's budget. This is needed simply to keep up with increased demand for emergency services and elective surgery. There is little major new capital spending despite calls for new hospitals to meet demand in Melbourne growth corridors.

Up to $220 million to upgrade rail freight in western Victoria
$362 million to duplicate 37 kilometres of the Princes Highway (jointly funded with the federal government).
$73 million for new court in Shepparton.
This budget adopts a broad focus in country Victoria, with hundreds of millions of dollars of new spending on rail, roads, schools and hospital projects. The biggest project - an upgrade of rail freight lines in the Murray Basin at a cost of up to $220 million - has been welcomed by farmers and businesses. It will also benefit other road users, by taking some heavy trucks off the road. Families will benefit from country road spending, new schools and school upgrades, and the purchase of 78 new CFA fire trucks.

$121 million for 658 support packages for people with a disability
$24 million for 23 child protection workers in at-risk parts of the state
$65 million to renovate and maintain social housing
Reports to authorities about the welfare of vulnerable children are expected to increase from around 73,000 to 90,000 notifications in 2014-15. To deal with the increased demand, $24.1 million will be spent on 23 child protection workers. Disabled Victorians will benefit from a $121 million investment into 658 "individual support packages". While $65 million will spent over the next three years to renovate and maintain public housing stock, only 500 new social housing dwellings are funded in this year's budget.

$13.4 million to improve national parks facilities
$30.7 million contribution to Murray-Darling programs
Money taken from environment programs, in part to fund rural water management and flood prevention.
Funding for environment programs have been reduced by 25 per cent, or $46 million, with the money in part transferred to water projects. Modest new measures include: $3.2 million for the Yellingbo conservation reserve, $13.4 million to improve facilities in national parks, and $30.7 million for Murray-Darling Basin Authority programs. $4 million will be spent to market brown coal reserves for development.
- Tom Arup
$447.5 million for prisons
$84.3 million for adult parole system
$77 million for new police stations and equipment
New prisoner beds will cost the government $447.5 million as it expands the prison system. State budget papers revealed the Coalition expects to spend about $942 million over the next year on prisoner supervision and support.
It committed $84.3 million to changes to the parole system including the management and treatment of violent offenders. The budget also included $77 million to upgrade police stations, equipment and build new ones, but no additional funding for Victoria Legal Aid.
- Jane Lee
$16.4 million building upgrade and maintenance package for the Arts Centre and National Gallery
$3 million for Museum Victoria for new permanent exhibitions, including the development of new children's exhibitions.
$5 million for the Arts and Cultural Facilities Maintenance Fund, which supports maintenance works at state owned facilities
The Arts Centre and National Gallery of Victoria will benefit from a $16.4 million upgrade of critical infrastructure - but it is unlikely the upgrades will be noticed by the public. The money will be spent on chillers, hot water plants, escalators and plumbing. The state budget also includes $3 million for new permanent exhibitions at Museum Victoria, an extra $5 million to help the troubled Arts Centre overcome its $7.2 million deficit, and $1.1 million for a new, outdoor events program called Summer in Southbank.

NEW HAVEN 200: Yale, Harvard started college sports with regatta
Published 12:00 am, Saturday, December 8, 2012
On Aug. 3, 1852, the crew teams from Harvard and Yale met in a two-mile race on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire -- the first intercollegiate athletic competition of any kind in the United States, predating the Harvard-Yale football rivalry by 23 years.
For the next 150 years, the Harvard-Yale Regatta has continued. Sports Illustrated has called it "the most venerable rivalry in college sports." Presidents -- from Franklin Pierce to Franklin D. Roosevelt -- have attended the event. At perhaps its peak in popularity in the mid-1920's, the regatta attracted an estimated 100,000 spectators on the Thames River shoreline.
In a true harbinger, Harvard won that first race by about four lengths. The Crimson has dominated the rivalry ever since, with a 93-54 overall record, including victories in 12 of the past 13 years.
The race extended to four miles for the first time in 1876, making it not only the longest-running college sports rivalry, but the longest rowing race in the Western Hemisphere as well.
The regatta came to New London, on the Thames, in 1878 and, with a few exceptions, has been held there ever since. It is packed with tradition: Yale rowers typically arrive at their Gales Ferry facility about a week prior to the race to train and live in quarters virtually untouched by the 20th (or 21st) centuries.
Down the road about a mile, Harvard's oarsmen occupy their own facility, nicknamed Red Top, in similar fashion.
Harvard has won 45 of the last 53 races. When current coach Harry Parker took over 50 years ago, he won his first 18 races against the Bulldogs. The Crimson set a course record -- which still stands -- in 1972 with a time of 18:22.4.
Despite Harvard's domination, Yale has had some highlights.
The Bulldogs won the closest race in history in 1914, edging Harvard's boat by an official count of 1/5th of a second. In 2007, after having lost the previous seven regattas, Yale pulled out a stirring, come-from-behind victory in the final strokes to edge the Crimson by a half-second, the closest finish in 93 years.
Harvard has won every regatta since. In fact, it has swept all three races - varsity eight, second varsity eight and freshman - five years in a row.
"This is how you'll be remembered," Harvard senior captain Mike DiSanto said after the Crimson's sweep this past May. "You don't want to be remembered on a loss."

Well, almost
The game is amusing for about 25 seconds. There simply isn't enough depth to it. Not enough to do, too much repeat material, and just generally a path too short. As others have said the concept is good but there really isn't enough effort in this one.

Not a very good dating sim.
First off, I'm not girl but I won't give you a lower score because of "OMG!! NO BOOBIES!!" or anything. Actually it's because the graphics were pretty bad compared to other dating sims, it wasn't challenging AT ALL, there weren't enough options and the little amount of dialogue you included was boring and repetitive. Oh well, there's always next time. I think you could make a decent game if you really tried.
Oh yeah, and who drinks Virgin Sex on the Beaches ( is that the plural form?) anyways? I prefer a Cuba Libre or Long Island Iced Tea.

Enjoy this sweet and juicy beef burger on a hot summer day along with a glass of Sutter Home Chardonnay wine.
Double Pork Mini Burgers with Apple-Tarragon Salsa Served on Split Apple Fritters These burgers are a perfect blend of savory and sweet.
It's a perfect introduction to autumn meal where it's still warm enough to grill out but there is an abundance of harvest fruits.
This is a fabulous recipe my mother likes to make for me when I visit her. It's simple but the flavors really pop!
This is a midwest-inspired homey type burger. It is a take on the old pork chops and applesauce dish my mom made back in the 50s.
This is based on Oma's (German for grandma) regular Sunday dinner with the family. It was beef roll-ups with a sweet red cabbage. I thought it sounded like a winning burger.
I was fortunate to spend several months in Germany and enjoyed many of the foods and flavors I've incorporated into this recipe.
I love the old-fashioned patty melt that you get at the diner, dripping in butter and gooey goodness. Well, I wanted to update this classic and really create the best version possible of it.
I have been making the BBQ sauce for 3 yrs now and everyone loves it, so I decided to incorporate my sauce in a burger. So far, it has been a great success.
America is a melting pot of cuisines,many making great,tasty burgers!

Attenborough hails scientist Brian Cox as successor
Wildlife broadcaster Sir David Attenborough has hailed physicist Brian Cox as his natural successor.
Sir David, who has spent six decades bringing the natural world to television audiences, paid tribute to Cox at the annual Radio Times Covers Party at Claridge's in London.
He said: "If I had a torch I would hand it to Brian." Sir David's career has included a stint as controller of BBC2 as well as his presenting of award-winning programmes including Life on Earth, The Living Planet and The Private Life of Plants.
Earlier in the night, Mr Cox had praised Sir David's "inspirational" example during a ceremony to mark his career.
He said: "There are many, many scientists across the world who cite David's programmes as being the original inspiration that got them into science.
"He's contributed to science, and thereby contributed to society, to Britain and indeed the world. That's what great science communicators can do." – (PA)

Q: Our present toilet is in the corner of our bathroom very close to a wall on the left hand side of the toilet. We're planning to replace this toilet and I have always been frustrated that the flushing handle is on the left side of the toilet, in a tight spot next to that wall.
Can I get a new toilet with the flushing handle on the right side of the toilet?
A: This is a great question that many people don't even think about since left handle toilets are the industry standard.
When you do think about it, you may wonder why most toilet handles are on the left side anyway. It would make perfect sense to have the toilet handle on the right side, since most people are right handed.
Well, that would be true if we all stood facing the toilet. But, in most cases people are sitting down on the toilet, so now the left side handle is easier to reach with your right hand. Once again, not fair for left handers.
However, in many commercial restrooms you can find toilet handles on the right side of the tank for easier public access.
With all that said, the good news is that you can "special order" new toilets with a right-side flushing handle and that can solve your issue.
Final tip: Order a spare "right side" handle with your new toilet or you could be out in "left field" if you ever need a replacement part.

Fran Fredette is surprisingly blunt when discussing his football team. This season, he said, Santa Clara (Oxnard) High will have a simple philosophy.
"We're just trying to get the ball in the hands of our threats. We have some guys who can really run it."
Now there's an understatement.
Before heading to Notre Dame next fall, senior running back Cierre Wood figures to blaze one last trail through the CIF Southern Section. In Wood's sophomore year, he rang up 1,407 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns.
Last year, he nearly doubled that. Leading the Saints to the SS Mid-Valley Division championship, the 6-foot, 195-pound lightning bolt gained 2,612 yards on the ground, averaging 14.67 yards per carry.
After dropping its first game of the year against Hueneme, Santa Clara ripped off 'W's in its final 10 games, finishing 11-1-1.
"That first week was an eye-opener," Fredette said. "The guys thought things would be easy. That really sparked us."
The motivation was nice, but Fredette would rather start this season on a better note.
It won't be easy, considering the Saints lost their 6-feet, 4-inch starting quarterback and stud defensive end, Randi Vines (New Hampshire), and their primary receivers, David Ortiz and Mike Keith.
Junior Mike Laubaucher will take the reins behind center, a spot with which he's familiar. In 2007, he started the first two games before ceding the role to Vines. He was relegated to JV, where Fredette said he continued learning the nuances of the position.
Playing on both the defensive and offensive lines are Daniel Garcia, Artie Lopez, Ramon Diaz and Tom Torres, returning starters from last year's squad. That quartet should make Laubaucher's job that much easier.
"He's an intelligent kid who has a good presence," Fredette said of Laubaucher. "Having him back there will give us a chance to get back to where we were last year."
So will Wood. After starring in the Football University Top Gun Showcase Camp in Florida in July, Wood -- the top running back prospect in the country and the No. 2 overall player in California -- likely will carry the Saints through 2008.
Yet, Santa Clara has a tough trail ahead, including games against Oak Park, Nordhoff and Oaks Christian.
In recent weeks, Oaks Christian has made national headlines for its famous transfers. Junior quarterback Nick Montana (Joe Montana's son) and sophomore quarterback Trevor Gretzky (Wayne Gretzky's son) joined Oaks Christian during the summer.
Wood might have liked to play with one of those two, but he's plenty happy with his own crew.
"We feel like we've got enough to win every game," Wood said. "A lot of our guys have been together for four years. All the transfers really aren't our thing. We want to play with what we have."
Wood's explosiveness opens holes for the passing game, which will score enough points to give the defense a substantial margin for error.
In the off-season, Wood said he's kept his workouts simple -- improving his speed, practicing plays and staying in shape. He said the specialized defenses he encountered the past two seasons have taught him how to run routes more efficiently.
"You learn to play against some crazy stuff," Wood said. "It makes you think about what you're going to do before you even do it."
If Wood's progress continues, Fredette plans to ride him through one more postseason. Neither Fredette nor Wood admitted to bitter feelings toward Oaks Christian's transfers, but surely there's added incentive to beat the new guys.
"You see these quarterbacks transferring, and for some reason they don't come here," Fredette said. "But right now, we're a special team. Cierre makes us special.
"Last year it seemed like he was winning some games for us by himself. He's just a special kid."

Notes: Ohka fined for mound incident
Notes: Ohka fined for mound incident
Washington fined Ohka an undisclosed amount "for contempt directed toward Nationals manager Frank Robinson" when the skipper asked for the ball in Saturday's fourth inning, the team said in a press release.
"Tomo has been fined," interim general manager Jim Bowden told Dave Shea of the Nationals radio network minutes after the team held a 10-minute closed-door meeting. "One thing you can't do on a Major League ballclub is have a player show up the manager."
Ohka had his back turned as Robinson trotted out to the mound to remove the starter with two runners on and the Marlins threatening to break a 3-3 tie. It was similar to a May 3 incident in Los Angeles when Robinson approached Zach Day on the mound.
"When I come to the mound, you're gone," Robinson said. "You're not going to talk me out of it. Give me the ball, leave the mound."
Ohka had allowed runs in each of the first three innings and didn't have the velocity on his fastball that was present in his previous two starts. Robinson said he was forced to take the righty out because he was concerned his offense wouldn't be able to respond from a big inning out of the Marlins.
Ohka had little to say regarding the fine.
"Nobody likes to be fined," he said. "I don't like it. It was Robinson's decision."
Robinson -- who snatched the ball from Ohka's hands -- said he feels Ohka holds some resentment toward the manager for not letting him work through problems as he does with Livan Hernandez and Esteban Loaiza.
"He has this thing that goes back for years that I don't have confidence in him," Robinson said. "He just thinks I have something against him personally, I guess."
Robinson said he addressed the issue of respecting a manager in Spring Training, and doesn't want an incident to alter relationships with the rest of his players.
"It just sets a bad precedent," Robinson said. "The chemistry should be sky high right now on this ballclub -- and it is. But one person can damage that chemistry to a point where it hurts the team."
Awaiting judgment: Robinson -- who oversaw discipline as vice president of on-field operations for MLB prior to his most recent managerial term -- said the league will not likely look at Byrd's incident until Monday.
On Saturday, Byrd made contact with Brinkman after being ejected for arguing a called third strike. Coming from left field prior to the start of the seventh inning, Byrd collided with the second base umpire as he ran toward Miller, the first base ump, to argue.
Robinson said the league will review a report filed by Brinkman and any replays available. Because the offices are usually closed on the weekend, he doesn't expect an immediate ruling.
"It was an accident, as far as I was able to determine," Robinson said Sunday of the collision, which he still had not seen on replay.
Not left out: Almost lost in discussion of Saturday's two altercations, the Nats' resiliency and a strong outing by long reliever Sunny Kim, was the performance of left-hander C.J. Nitkowski.
The journeyman reliever retired four Marlins at a critical juncture in the seventh and eighth innings. Nitkowski induced groundouts from pinch-hitter Jeff Conine and speedsters Juan Pierre and Luis Castillo before striking out Carlos Delgado.
Despite showing success against right- and left-handed hitters (Nitkowski faced two of each), the former starter who has pitched for eight different Major League teams said he isn't getting settled just yet.
"I can't afford myself to get relaxed or get comfortable," Nitkowski said. "I think I have to prove myself. I don't think I have earned a defined role yet."

Injury report: Jose Guillen was held out of the lineup Sunday after being hit on the right hand by an Al Leiter pitch on Saturday. The medical staff determined that there was no break, and Guillen said he's "fine." The right fielder added that he could come in late in Sunday's game.
With Brad Wilkerson out until Tuesday with an injured hand, Tony Blanco started in left field, Byrd played center and Ryan Church began the game in right on Sunday.
Stat of the day: While his name may seem to indicate stronger performances on Sundays, Church has played his best on Saturdays this season. After going 3-for-4 with a triple in Saturday's win, Church is hitting .448 on that day of the week with seven RBIs. All three of his home runs also have come on Saturdays.
On deck: The Nationals begin a three-game Interleague series with Oakland on Tuesday at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium. Tony Armas Jr. makes his first career start against the A's, who sit in last place in the American League West.
