Momentum was the first film shot and released in the IMAX HD film format, which ran at 48 frames per second, and was also one of the first films to use Ambisonic surround sound. The film was produced for the Canada pavilion at Seville Expo '92 by National Film Board of Canada, by the same creative team that made the 1986 3D IMAX film Transitions for Expo 86. The film takes viewers across Canada, demonstrating the ability of the 48 frame/s process to portray motion on the giant IMAX screen with reduced strobing.[1]

After World War II the concept of "new towns" was introduced, particularly on the borders of London, to relieve the overcrowding in the capital. Basildon became a New Town in 1949.
A modern view
Basildon is the largest town in the borough of Basildon in the county of Essex, England.
It lies east of Central London, south of the city of Chelmsford and west of Southend-on-Sea. Nearby smaller towns include Billericay to the north, Wickford northeast and South Benfleet to the east. It was created as a new town after World War II in 1948 to accommodate the London population overspill, from the conglomeration of four small villages, namely Pitsea, Laindon, Basildon and Vange. The new town took the name Basildon as it was the most central of the four.
The local government district of Basildon, which was formed in 1974 and received borough status in 2010, encapsulates a larger area than the town itself; the two neighbouring towns of Billericay and Wickford, as well as rural villages and smaller settlements set among the surrounding countryside, that fall within its borders. Basildon Town is one of the most densely populated areas in the county.
Some of Basildon's residents work in Central London due to the town being well connected in the county to the City of London and the Docklands financial and corporate headquarters districts, with a 36-58 minute journey from the three Basildon stations to London Fenchurch Street. Basildon also has access to the City via road, on the A127, and A13.
Because of boundary changes it is difficult to trace Basildon's growth. These figures attempt to provide an outline. Basildon's population in the 1931 census was under 1,200 people. The population of Billericay (including Basildon) in 1951 was 27,500. The population of Basildon New Town in 2001 was almost 100,000. (Sources: A Vision of Britain Through Time and Wikipedia)

Looking for any information on John Pruitt (b April 1820
Indiana)) who
married Nancy McGehee (March 1816 Kentucky)
Marriage took place around 1842 I believe in Kentucky.
Children per 1850 Conway County, Arkansas census records: Elizabeth
(1837) David (1844) James (1847) Nancy (1849), also living with them
was John's parents David & Francis Pruitt. Only child Nancy was born in
Arkansas, the three older children were born in Kentucky.
In 1900, the same John & Nancy show up in Boone County, Arkansas.
Nancy is the sister to my John McGehee
If anyone has any information to share, or could point me in the right
direction, I'd appreciate it.
Thank you!
This may upset the apple cart for the descendants of
William Pruitt who was born 25 Jul 1799 in Knox Co TN
and died abt 1879 in Dallas Co, TX. He was married on
20 Mar 1830 in Greene Co IL (per IL marriage index) to
Mary Powell. According to numerous researchers of the
Pruitt family, William had a son William Anderson
Pruitt who was born on abt 1828 which indicates that
William was previously married but there is no other
marriage record on file for a William in the mid to
late 1820's in Illinois.
According to the various census, all of William's
children were born in IL, supposedly in Morgan Co,
however, this is where I may be upsetting the apple
There is no William Pruitt living in Morgan Co IL in
1830. However, there is a William Pruitt who is
living with his wife and a child under the age of 5 in
Macoupin Co IL. The is no other William in the Pruitt
family who fits the criteria given in the census and I
believe that this William is the William who married
Mary Powell and his son William Anderson. There are a
couple of Pruitt families living in Morgan Co IL in
1830 but neither is William's parents and siblings as
they are in Greene Co IL. From this it may be that
William Anderson Pruitt was born in either Greene Co
or Macoupin Co rather than Morgan Co as many have been
under the impression for some years.
This William Pruitt is no longer living in Macoupin Co
IL in 1840. The Pruitt's were known to own their land
and in most cases the father would give some acreage
to his child upon marriage. There is no record of a
William Pruitt owning land in Morgan Co nor his father
Abraham. Abraham lived in what is now Jersey Co IL
when he died in 1832. The 1839 tax list for Morgan Co
IL only includes a David Pruitt who lived there for
some years and was born abt 1805, but this David is
not part of the Martin Pruitt family of Madison Co IL.
I don't have access to the 1840 Morgan Co IL census,
but from what I can it appears that William Pruitt may
not have lived in Morgan Co. Also if William Anderson
Pruitt is William's son then he is by a previous
marriage for which the search for his mother will need
to follow.
If someone has access to the 1840 census, I would
really appreciate if William Pruitt's family could be
located. The records should show the following for
the parents and known children -
2 males under 5
2 males 5-10
1 male 10-15
1 male 30-40 or 40-50
1 female under 5
1 female 5-10 (maybe)
1 female 30-40
Thank you in advance for any help.

I am interested in this William Prewitt. With no proof what so
ever I have
a "feeling" that he is my ancestor. My proven line goes back to William
Prewitt b. 3 Feb 1814 TN m. Hannah Caroline Collins in Monroe Co. TN 18 Feb
1836. There is a John Prewitt in Monroe Co. TN in 1830 and I think this John
might be the father of my William. There is a John Prewitt who m. Elizabeth
Tucker 7 Sept 1812 Jefferson Co. TN. Then a John b. ca 1793 TN shows up in
Bradley CO. TN 1840 and again in 1850 with a wife named Elizabeth. There is
also a William Prewitt in the 60-70 age bracket in 1840 Bradley CO. census.
Then a William Prewitt is on the Meigs Co. 1850 mortality schedule having
died at age 90 b. VA died of old age. I think this is the William who
applied for Rev War service from Bradley Co. TN in 1839.
Another clue might be that the William b. 3 Feb 1814 named a son William
MARTIN Prewitt. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions to prove my
theory. Patsy Hand

Subject: [PRUITT] Pruitt's at Rev War Battle of King's Mountain
I have just read the publication "The Patriots of
King's Mountain" by Bobby Gilmer Ross (1990). In it
he has the following -
William Prewitt
b 1752
d 1841
m Mary Woods 1771
He has that this William Prewitt lived in SC and was a
substitute for his father Thomas Prewitt who had been
drafted. He gives a quite detailed account of where
this William Prewitt served during the Revolutionary
War including King's Mountain. He then states that
this William Prewitt executed a pension application
1839 while residing in Bradley Co TN. A son Solomon
(1790-1876) who married Rebecca is noted. A DAR
publication (CXVII, 232) is also referenced.
Sadly someone obtained membership under false
information and "assumption". The Solomon Prewitt
mentioned is that who was the son of Martin Pruitt who
moved his family to Madison Co IL in 1806. The
lifespan for William is almost that of Martin Pruitt
(1752-1844) who did marry Mary Woods in NC 1771. This
Pruitt family did not live at anytime in SC. Martin
Pruitt did apply for a pension but it was in 1834
while residing in Madison Co IL. Martin was the son
of William and Mary Martin Pruitt. William along with
his sons (Martin, Abraham, Isaac, William Jr, Jacob
and Fuller) were all participants in the Rev War, most
being at the Battle of King's Mountain as part of the
mountainmen volunteers.
I hope that those who are on this list and are
descedants of William and Mary Martin Pruitt and their
son Martin Pruitt do not use the Moss publication

I have a great grandfather, William Martin Prewitt, b. 7 Apr
1852 in
Tenn. (I think in Polk Co.). I have always wondered if there might be a
connection to the Martin everyone keeps writing about. The above
William's father was also a William, b. 3 Feb 1814 (in Tenn according to
census). They all came to Texas about 1870. I have searched long and
hard for the older William's parents and I think they might be John and
Elizabeth (Tucker) Prewitt who were married in Jefferson Co. TN in 1812
and were then in Monroe Co. TN in 1830, and in Bradley Co. TN in 1840
and 1850. Then I THINK John's father was another William b. 1760 Halifax
Co. VA and d August 1840 in Meigs Co. TN. Can anyone add to this or
dispute all of it. Would appreciate comments. Patsy Dearman Hand
David & Linda, Sure wish I could help --- I have been searching
for information on my grandfather, Rolland Fitzroy Pruitt for 35 years! Have
never been able to connect the dots. He was born in Tenn (we think) in 1884
mother was Lydia Hufft/Huff born in Va (per a 1920 census he filled out)
nothing on his Dad! They story was that there was 13 children parents died and
the children were given to other family members or other families in the
He just doesn't show up anyplace until 1913 when he gets my Grandmother, Fleda Mae Brock p.g. in Jewell County, Kansas! The Brock's were big land owners and could have been with the some type of crew that came thru that area --- first son was born in Oct 1913 ----
Sure hope someone can help you. Sincerely Diane McVey Nuss

My grandfather, Stinson Carroll Pruitt, use to tell stories
about visiting
the reservation. I also have been told all my life that my grandfather was
Native American. My Uncle told me a few weeks ago that he was 5/8 Cherokee.
My mother was always proud of her heritage; however, my aunts and uncles
were always secretive about their Native American heritage. I would suspect
it was because of discrimination.
My great-grandfather was James William "Jim or JW" Pruitt/Pruett. Jim was
born November 26, 1856. He married Rachel E. "Lizzie" Ramsey.
No one knows for sure who Jim's parents were. I do know that his mother's
maiden name was either Runningwater or Rainwater and that she was a full
blood Cherokee. I have no idea who his father might have been.
I have obtained a copy of Jim's death certificate and his parents are listed
as unknown. I know that Jim and Lizze were often in the Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Northeast/East Texas area. This has become my brick wall.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
I appreciate your help.

Hi Larry!
I guess we're cousins then!

Martha Ponder and John Haynes
Columbia L Haynes and Isaac H Watts
Jacob Watts and Matilda McGlinn
Gerald Watts and Judith Kossmann
then Me! Well, and my brother and sisters
My Cherokee comes from my Watts line -- but I have a feeling Tillman might
have had Native blood too. He sure looked like it. I also have some native
blood from the Haynes line.
There's a discrepancy as to who Tillman's mom was. Some think it was Mary
Elliot -- but I think it was a woman named Nancy -- and there isn't much
info I've found on her. The dates for Mary don't match right for being
Tillman's mom.
Do you have any info on Tillman's mother?
Nice to meet another cousin!

Bob Pruitt
Mooresville, IN
(7th great grandson of Michael, Sr.)
There seems to be a lot of disagreement on who the
ancestors of Martin Pruitt (1752-1844) were. Here are
some interesting facts that will help.
Martin's son Solomon was very well respected in
Madison Co IL where Martin moved his large family in
1806 from Greene Co TN. Solomon was interviewed
several times during his life about the early days of
life before IL became a state in 1818. In one of his
interviews he talked about his father Martin going
into the wilds of KY with Daniel Boone and others for
a 9-month period. He also mentioned that his
grandfather William, his uncles Abraham, William,
Fuller, Isaac and Jacob and his father Martin were all
in the Revolutionary War, most seeing service at
King's Mountain.
There are some who have Martin listed as Martin Jr.
This is not a true statement. Martin was given that
name as it was his mother's maiden name. There was a
William Sr and William Jr in the family (Martin's
father and brother respectively).
William Pruitt was married about 1747 or 1748 to Mary
Martin. William's will was dated 28 Jul 1812 and he
left $1 to his children Martin, Isaac, Fuller, Viney,
Rebecca and to the heirs (his grandchildren) of
Abraham and William. The remaining portion of his
estate was left to son Jacob and daughter Mary with
Jacob as sole executor. This all makes sense in the
Jacob and Mary moved their families to AL and William
made the move with Jacob settling in what was then the
Mississippi Territory about 1809. William died in
1817 at the age of 103 years. The Pruitt's from
William through son Martin have a history of
Some say this William was born in 1739 and was the
father of one of the children mentioned above but they
have not included Martin and several other siblings in
their list of children. Some also have that same
marriage period for William and Mary. Anyone with a
sound mind would see that a person born in 1739 would
not have married in 1747 or 1748.
Also from a book published in 1877 William is listed
as the son of Henry and Mary Ross Pruitt. The
descendants of Jacob (William's son) have shown this
through the history of Alabama. I don't think that
back in the 1800's the family would have mentioned or
written a name anywhere if it were not true.
For those who have William who married Mary Martin as
the son of someone other than Henry and Mary Ross
Pruitt, I would suggest you provide the proof you have
to make such a claim. Also Mary Ross married James
(aka Henry) in Elizabeth City VA on 13 Apr 1702 which
can be found in "Virginia County Records, Volume 4,
Early Virginia Marriages" published by Genealogical
Publishing Co., Inc. of Baltimore 1973 and edited by
William Armstrong Crozier.
It is said but I have not taken time to locate proof
that Henry and Mary had six other children: Daniel,
Thomas, Henry, John, Ann and Wealthy. John was
supposedly born in 1717 and died in 1820 Warren Co AL.

Hello Diane,
We've compared notes before, as I have a Rollo John PRUITT (1855-?) in
my line, brother to my GGG Grandfather Willis William (Bud) PRUITT
(1857-1934). Rollo is on the 1860 Carroll Co., TN, then I see no sight
of him. Rollo and Willis are the sons of Alexander PRUITT and Rheua A.
(Missouri) UNKNOWN (BTW: not the sons of Ben PRUITT and Eathea M. B.
SUMMERS as is so often posted on the Net).
We also have a Roy PRIUETT (sometimes transcribed as PRIVETT), b. 1884,
d. after 1920. I have him m. to Tommie M. MILLER. Any new information
that might lead you to think there's a connection? Roy lived in Dyer
Co., TN. I believe that father was Thomas N. PRUITT and mother was
Julia W. (or A.) DUNCAN.
Bill, I am working on the Barclay line starting Sarah Ann Barclay that married John Marion McVey/McVay; her parents were George Barclay & Mila Cudd; Robert Barclay and Mary Hubbard ----- I am, always, trying to update my PRUITT line. My grandfather was Rolland Fitzroy "Roy" Pruitt born 1884 maybe in Tenn and mother was Lydia Huff/hufft born in Va. <snip

Gibson Agrees To Terms With Buffalo [6:07 PM]
WGR-AM reports: 'He'll sign a reported two year deal.'
Thou shalt draft impact players, regardless of position [6:03 PM]
SportingNews.com reports: "We'd never say because somebody is a safety that makes him less valuable," Bills general manager Tom Donahoe says. "It's not inconceivable that a safety or tight end could be the first guy in the draft, because for us, it's strictly a matter of evaluating the guy's skill."
Michigan Sports Hall of Fame to induct 50th class [4:33 PM]
AP reports: 'Joe DeLamielleure, Pat LaFontaine and Chris Spielman will be among 10 people inducted into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame on Tuesday.'
Bills Agree To Terms With Gibson [2:57 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'A graduate of Notre Dame with a degree in economics, Gibson entered the League when he was drafted in the fourth round of the 1995 draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers (120th overall). He played for the Steelers from 1995-98 before signing with the Bengals as an unrestricted free agent in March of 1999.'
Bills sign free agent DT Gibson [2:47 PM]
Sportsticker reports: 'The 32-year-old defensive tackle spent the last five seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. He played in all 16 games last season, marking the eighth time in the last nine years he has appeared in every contest.'
Buffalo should sign Stewart as Bledsoe backup right now [1:12 PM]
Niagara Falls Reporter reports: 'Donahoe can, and should, cross "find a backup quarterback" off the to-do list immediately. He's not going to find someone better suited to the job, or the situation, than Stewart.'
Bills ink defensive tackle Gibson [12:43 PM]
The Sports Network reports: 'In 133 career games, Gibson has recorded 243 tackles and 17 1/2 sacks. He is expected to compete for a backup spot with Justin Bannan and Ron Edwards.'
DT Gibson agrees to two-year deal with Bills [12:42 PM]
AP reports: 'After tearing his Achilles' tendon in 2002, Gibson was used as a backup last year, and credited with 24 tackles and half a sack in 16 games. A fourth-round draft pick in 1995, he spent his first four seasons with the Steelers.'
Bills find defensive line help in Gibson [8:50 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Gibson is a 6-foot-2, 305-pounder who will vie for a roster spot behind starting defensive tackles Pat Williams and Sam Adams. The signing helps the Bills create legitimate competition at the position, something they are trying to do across the board on their roster. Ron Edwards and Justin Bannan return as reserve defensive tackles.'
Inside slant [7:27 AM]
CBS Sportsline reports: '"I think there's no question we underachieved last year," Bledsoe said. "I think we failed to play the style of football that we set out to play. This year, you're going to see us be a little more stubborn about playing the brand of football that fits our talent. We're going to pound the ball, we're going to play-action it, we're going to play great defense like we did last year, and we're going to score more points because we're going to avoid the mistakes that killed us."'
Strategy and personnel [7:27 AM]
CBS Sportsline reports: 'On the draft front, the Bills' eyes are wide open about the possibility of using the 13th pick on one of the two top pass-rushing ends, Ohio State's Will Smith and USC's Kenechi Udeze. Both players helped themselves dramatically with solid pro day workouts. Smith ran a dazzling 4.55 and Udeze a 4.72.'
'Skins impressed with Williams' techniques [5:14 AM]
Newport News Daily Press reports: 'In 1999-2000, his Tennessee defense recorded a league-best 109 sacks; and in 2000, the Titans led the NFL in total defense. As Buffalo's head coach from 2001-03, the Bills' defense improved from 21st to 15th to second. Williams was fired by Buffalo after going 6-10 last season.'
Ex-coach will discuss cancer fight [5:13 AM]
San Antonio Express News reports: '"I was diagnosed in the summer of '95," Marv Levy says. "I'd gone in for my regular physical and afterward the doctor called to tell me I had a high PSA score. I didn't know PSA from SAT."'
Bears to land fullback in trade [5:12 AM]
Chicago Tribune reports: 'A league source said the Washington Redskins will trade fullback Bryan Johnson to the Bears on Monday in exchange for a sixth-round draft choice. The Raiders and Bills were the other teams in the running for the hard-nosed Johnson.'
The Bears also have made a contract offer to former Buffalo guard Ruben Brown, who is thought to have narrowed his choices to Chicago and Detroit.
AFC East also-rans make moves to close gap with New England [6:32 PM]
Providence Journal reports: 'Buffalo looks at the now-healthy Willis McGahee as a 2004 addition and, in truth he is. He is part of the reason Buffalo wants to become a northern version of the Carolina Panthers on offense. The plan now is for McGahee and Travis Henry to split the running-back duties, for the rest of the offense to change its pass-first mindset, and for Bledsoe to become the picture of efficiency not explosiveness.'
Mularkey comes out ahead because Bills players willing to lead [9:02 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"You could see by body language, the way they play the game, the way they carry themselves, the way they approach their teammates, you have a pretty good feel who those leaders are already," Mularkey said. "I'm finding other things out being out here that there are some guys who lead by example. And there are some guys on offense that are standing up a lot better than I thought they would."'
Bills' depth at QB a worst-case scenario [9:01 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The best-case scenario is this: The offensive line protects Drew Bledsoe much, much better under new line coach Jim McNally, the draft brings a speed receiver to take the multiple pass coverage off Eric Moulds, Bledsoe uses running back Willis McGahee as a frequent receiver, Josh Reed returns to the slot, where he is more effective, and the running game is so good it creates greater opportunities for the pass. Bledsoe plays as brilliantly as he did in his first half season as a Bill.'
It's unlikely Bills will be able to draft top QB [9:00 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'It's hard to imagine the Bills giving up future picks to move up from No. 13. So what needs to happen for the Bills to get Roethlisberger? 1. San Diego trades down and then, stunningly, passes up a quarterback. 2. Oakland and Arizona pass on QBs. 3. No other team (such as San Francisco at No. 16) works a trade into the top 10 to take a QB. (Washington needs extra picks and is a trade-down candidate at No. 5.)'
All-Pro running back's faith walk had to be made along mean streets [8:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'New York Jets All-Pro running back Curtis Martin shared his faith with about 800 people who attended the third annual Athletes in Action awards breakfast Saturday in the Hyatt Regency Buffalo. He was surrounded by an all-star cast of athletes that included former Buffalo Bills quarterback Frank Reich, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback and television sports analyst Boomer Esiason, and former Bills wide receiver Andre Reed.'
Bengals sign former Eagles offensive guard [2:20 PM]
Cincinnati Post reports: 'As of Thursday, Buffalo appeared to be the leader in the race for Williams but, as the Bengals found out last week when Warren Sapp ended up signing with Oakland after a deal with Cincinnati was all but signed, nothing is final until the signature is on a contract and filed with the league.'
Miller, Huckno to be honored [9:14 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Van Miller, recently retired voice of the Buffalo Bills, and Wally Huckno, retired Jamestown football coach, are being honored Monday at the 2004 Romulus Club Annual Sports Night in memory of Ilio DiPaolo.'
Offensive Changes and Defensive Additions [7:05 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"Mularkey's style of play is a physical play," running back Travis Henry said. "That is what he is installing in our heads. It looks like we are going to be a physical, run first, ball control offense."'
Veteran Camp Comes to a Close [7:04 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"We installed enough where we felt like we weren't going to overload their brain capacity," Mularkey said. "We didn't want a lot of thinking going on. We wanted these guys playing."'
Mularkey Likes What He Sees [7:03 PM]
WGR-AM reports: 'Willis McGahee did not appear to be limited in any way over the course of the 3 day camp, and Mike Mularkey agreed. He did make sure to point out that he'd prefer to speak with the trainers before speculating about the running back's status/progress.'
Drew maps new course [8:55 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'But Bledsoe has a huge supporter in Mularkey, who felt it was important to tell Bledsoe in their first meeting that he's entrenched as the starter. "I think he needs to know that coming in here because that's the way it is," Mularkey said. "You've got to have a guy who wants to approach it that way and not have any doubts. "Am I or am I not?' There is no doubt."'
The McNally effect: positive [8:54 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"It would be a great pleasure because (McNally) is truly like a master of the game, and he can just take my level of what I know and my ability to another level," Williams said Thursday during the Bills' veteran minicamp. "It's all about just getting better, and with him definitely."'
OG Williams eager to line up for Bills [5:17 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '�It looks pretty good,� Williams said of the team and the facilities. �We�ll see how it plays out, but I�m glad to be in Buffalo.�'
Bledsoe and Bills reach the crossroads [5:16 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '�I still have confidence in him and so does the rest of the team,� said wide receiver Eric Moulds, who was nagged by a season-ruining groin injury that resulted in him catching just one touchdown pass in 2003, nine fewer than the year before. �Our problems last year went well beyond Drew. It would be wrong to put the bulk of the blame on him. We have to protect better, we have to run better routes, and we have to go with a system that�s more in tune with his skills and our skills.�'
Loyalty lands Titans Volek [5:15 AM]
Nashville City Paper reports: 'As for the Bills, Volek said they offered to throw him into a competition with incumbent Drew Bledsoe. �They wanted me to come in there and compete with him right away,� Volek said. �That was probably the biggest selling point Buffalo had to offer us.�'
Bills Begin Mini-Camp [5:14 AM]
RNews.com reports: 'The mini-camp marks the first time Mularkey and his staff have met face-to-face with the entire Bills roster.'

Where are you most likely to find style at the Winter Olympics? Other than the opening ceremony costumes, the garb on display tends to be pretty utilitarian. Except for during the figure-skating competition, that is. With all the feathers, rhinestones, cutouts, and colorful fabrics gliding across the ice, you could very well be watching a fashion show — albeit one with lots of spandex.
From the Cinderella-inspired costumes worn by Team Russia to Germany's Pink Panther-inspired getups and the rich designs favored by Team USA, here are the best costumes we've seen on the ice in Sochi so far.

There have been worse times to be a fan of Boston sports.
The Bruins have lost just four times since the start of November, the Celtics have turned their slow start into history and the Patriots are entering the playoffs on an eight-game winning streak and as the top seed in the AFC.
Which one is the hottest?
The Celtics are the underdogs here, of course, but things certainly looked dire last week, after they dropped their first three games of the season. Now, after four straight wins, nobody is quite as concerned as they were then, with Wednesday's 19-point win over the Nets serving as the latest example.
The Patriots, meanwhile, seemingly had to give their opponents head starts the past couple of weeks, just to up the degree of difficulty. Bill Belichick's team won their final eight games of the season by an average of nearly 17 points. They haven't lost since Nov. 6.
On a hot streak of their own are the Boston Bruins, whose win Wednesday night was their 22nd in their last 26 games. Their plus-60 goal differential is also almost twice as good as any other team's in the league.

Injuries are all too common on high school sports teams, but typically having one or two injured players won't make or break the team. But for the Mayer Lutheran dance team, which only fields a squad of six athletes, two injuries can make a world of difference, especially when five dancers are needed to compete.
Hosting their home invitational on Jan. 18, the Crusaders were able to have enough dancers on the floor to compete, but had a tough day, head coach Maryann Porter said.
"Dancing short and injured, it definitely impacted our performances," she said.
When all was said and done, the Crusaders placed fifth of nine jazz teams. Rockford, PACT Charter, and New Ulm Cathedral, and Glencoe-Silver Lake placed ahead of Mayer Lutheran, and Porter said LHS just missed fourth place by a few rank points.
In high kick, Randolph took home the team title, followed against by PACT Charter and New Ulm Cathedral. Mayer Lutheran finished seventh of ten teams.
"Everybody who placed ahead of us is in our section," Porter said.
That means the Crusaders have just a few short weeks to prepare for the Section 2A meet, held Feb. 8 at Bloomington Kennedy High School, in hopes of making a return trip to the state tournament. The top three jazz and top two high kick teams will advance.
Porter said the team has already put together a three-week plan and are trying to "making lemonade out of lemons."
"I think it was a lot of things that all came together at one moment for this team," Porter said. "I think it's challenging when you're on a really strong path and something comes in to throw things off, but what I do know about this team is that they have the ability to get back on the track that they were on before."
With two recent MRC meets postponed, the Crusaders can recuperate and prepare for a meet at Jordan tonight and the MRC Championships at Belle Plaine on Tuesday.
"Number one is getting us back to a full team," Porter said.

In an abrupt turnabout, the Japanese government has stopped short of formally adopting the goal it announced just last week – to phase out nuclear power by 2040 – after the plan drew intense opposition from business groups and communities whose economies depend on nuclear power plants.
The cabinet of Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda said it would "take into consideration" the 2040 goal, but formally endorsed only a vague promise to "engage in debate with local governments and international society and to gain public understanding" in deciding Japan's economic future in the wake of the 2011 nuclear disaster at Fukushima.
On Tuesday, the chairmen of Japan's most prominent business associations, including the influential Keidanren group, called a rare joint news conference to demand that Mr Noda abandon the 2040 goal. On Wednesday, they praised the cabinet's decision to suspend the phase-out.
The deadline "was not a viable option in the first place", said Tadashi Okamura, chairman of the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
National Strategy Minister Motohisa Furukawa announced the original plan last week, releasing a document titled the "Revolutionary Energy and Environment Strategy" that said Japan would seek to eliminate nuclear power within 28 years through greater reliance on renewable energy, conservation and the use of fossil fuels.
On Wednesday, he defended the cabinet's omission of the 2040 deadline, saying the government had intended to use it as a reference point. "It is just a matter of decision-making, and there is no real change to content," he said.
But to critics, the cabinet's move cast into further doubt Japan's commitment to ending its nuclear power program, first made in July 2011 by then prime minister Naoto Kan. Since September, his successor, Mr Noda, has pushed to restart the energy-poor country's shuttered reactors while making vague promises to "reduce Japan's nuclear dependence".
Japan got about 30 per cent of its electricity from 54 reactors across the country – and planned to increase its reliance to 50 per cent – before damage from a powerful tsunami in March 2011 led to multiple meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and vast radiation leaks. All but two of the plants remain closed.
Mr Noda was forced to consider alternative energy sources after a series of public hearings held by the government after the Fukushima disaster showed overwhelming support for phasing out nuclear power.
But business groups criticised any move away from nuclear power as impractical and a death knell for Japanese manufacturers, which have already lost much of their competitive edge to cheaper rivals elsewhere in Asia.

Dodgers transfer injured outfielder Carl Crawford to 60-day DL
The Los Angeles Dodgers have transferred outfielder Carl Crawford to the 60-day disabled list as he continues to recover from an oblique injury, the team announced Monday. He will not be eligible to return until June 27.
The Dodgers placed Crawford on the 15-day disabled list on April 28 with what the team called a strained oblique muscle. Crawford told reporters the injury was "a bad tear."
Crawford has dealt with numerous injuries in recent years. He has not played more than 130 games in a season since 2010. He is batting .245 this season and started 13 of the Dodgers' 19 games in leftfield before he was hurt.
Scott Van Slyke has started the majority of the Dodgers' games in leftfield during Crawford's absence, batting .264 with a .715 OPS.
Crawford, 33, is due more than $22 million in each of the next two seasons.

Standard equipment includes Bluetooth connectivity, bi-xenon headlamps with washers, electronically adjustable air suspension, soft-close doors, a full leather interior with a choice of primary and secondary hides in 17 colors, a power opening/closing trunk, 14-way power heated front seats, 19-inch wheels, multizone automatic climate control with rear-seat controls, DVD navigation, and a 10-speaker stereo with satellite radio and a glove-box-mounted six-CD changer.
Sirius Satellite Radio and a six-CD changer are also standard, while a Naim-tuned 1,000-watt, 14-speaker audio system is a $6,000 option. In TheCarConnection.com's test vehicle, the Naim system doesn't improve sound quality as much as expected, nor does it allow the driver to choose settings for bass, treble, and other typical sound qualities.
Edmunds lists options as "virtually limitless (though you'll pay handsomely for them)…There are also a variety of special-order options known as Mulliner Driving Specification that range from more exclusive veneers and lamb's-wool carpeting to diamond-quilted seating surfaces and specialized exterior paint colors."

You'll need 7zip, and a photo editor. I use a photo editor called paint.net. You can get that here http://www.getpaint.net/ and 7zip here http://www.7-zip.org/
Grab this template.zip http://db.tt/6jaMQYSW and put it on your computer.
You can use this transparent pulldown as a base to start with http://db.tt/xmZgumzF it's already named correctly to work, and it's the right size to use.
1. Open paint.net, and drag whatever photo you want to use onto it.
2. To make the background transparent on your photo use magic wand. You'll also have to play with the tolerance until you find what works the best with your picture "assuming you want it transparent". Using the eraser also makes the picture transparent. After your done editing it SAVE AS it to your desktop as a png.
3. Now drag the pulldown.png you downloaded earlier onto paint.net.
4. Now right click on the picture you were editing earlier that you saved on your desktop, and click copy.
5. Now on paint.net click on edit, and Paste In To New Layer. Arrange the picture how you want it on the pulldown using the tool MOVE SELECTED PIXELS, and SAVE AS it to the desktop. Make sure the name is pulldown.png.
6. Open the template.zip with 7zip that you placed on your desktop earlier. Click on MORPH, system, app, SystemUi.apk, res, drawable-xhdpi, and drop the pulldown.png you just finished into that folder. Now close that zip. Rename it to whatever you want. Just make sure you keep .zip at the end.
7. Place your whatever.zip on your sd card, and flash in recovery.
8. Enjoy!
This is just 1 of the ways to do it. I tried explaining this as easy as I could. Hope this helps!

The optical trapping of nanoparticles and microparticles by a Gaussian standing wave is experimentally demonstrated for the first time to the authors' knowledge. The standing wave is obtained under a microscope objective as a result of the interference of an incoming laser beam and a beam reflected on a microscope slide that has been coated with a system of reflective dielectric layers. Experimental results show that three-dimensional trapping of nanoparticles (100-nm polystyrene spheres) and one or more vertically aligned micro-objects ( polystyrene spheres, yeast cells) can easily be achieved by use of even highly aberrated beams or objectives with low numerical apertures.

Isn't it funny how things come full circle? When you're a baby, you wear a bib so you don't get food all over your onesie. Then you grow up and you wear a bib (you might wear a onesie too), but it might be more of a beaded flower bib, which doesn't help so much with the food catching but it does help with the compliment catching.
Then you get old and decrepit and you probably wear a more functional bib again. Then you die and…well, I'm not entirely sure what happens at that point, but there's probably a better forum for that discussion.

This GoPro POV of Dan Brisse's roof-to-roof death gap is insane
Dan Brisse pretty much defined "holy-f*ck" street features. He is also one of the nicest, hardest working riders in snowboarding, always going the extra hour to get the shot. This GoPro video shows exactly what it's like to be Brisseburger as he jumps roof-to-roof at one of the many absurd features this guy stomps. Seeing this from his perspective entirely renews our perspective on his riding—it scares the shit out of us.

Ballack suspects conspiracy
Former Germany captain Michael Ballack claims there was a plot against him which led to him losing the national team armband.
Ballack's international career was ended after a challenge by Kevin-Prince Boateng in the FA Cup final in 2010 ruled the then-Chelsea midfielder out of that year's World Cup due to injury, and he never made a return.
He visited the Germany team in South Africa, but on the day he returned to Germany, current captain Philipp Lahm gave an interview in which he said he wanted to take the captain's armband on a full-time basis. Ballack now believes there was no coincidence regarding the timing of those remarks.
''He is an intelligent lad and you don't just give an interview like that in such a situation,'' said Ballack. ''He must have agreed it with the coach to lean so far out of the window. That is what my feeling tells me. I was the captain and I know how people behave within a group. Philipp then became captain and it was a strange situation for me.
''I have not spoken with Philipp about the situation. At some point, you have got to let bygones be bygones.''
Ballack's desire to forget about the national team also led him to turn down their belated offer of a testimonial match. That offer came after months of claiming that Ballack still had a future as national team captain before informing him that he would not even play another match for Germany.
''It has nothing to do with pride,'' explained Ballack on Sky television. ''If they had been open with me and told me their intentions, then I would have been the last person not to cooperate to find a solution.
''It would have been fair to discuss things with me, but that didn't happen. It is only logical that I turned down the testimonial because I had been kept waiting for 11 months, not knowing where I stood.
''So many things happened which were not correct and I think my reaction is understandable.''

Currency launched to cover the cosmos
In space, everyone can hear you spend
Scientists have come up with a new currency to be used by inter-planetary travellers. The Quasi Universal Intergalactic Denomination, or Quid, is made from a polymer used in non-stick pans and is designed to withstand the stresses of space travel.
The Quasi Universal Intergalactic Denomination, or Quid.
Bearing a striking resemblance to the Drogna - the currency used in The Adventure Game - the Quid has no chemicals or sharp edges that could pose a potential problem to space goers should the "coins" accidentally float free in zero gravity.
It was designed for foreign exchange company Travelex by scientists from the National Space Centre and the University of Leicester. They predict that regular trips into space will be considerably more commonplace within the next five years and that holiday facilities on the Moon are a possibility within the next 50 years.
The issue of currency has long featured in science fiction, from the all-encompassing "credit" to the Altarian Dollar, the Triganic Pu, or even where money doesn't exist at all as is the case in Star Trek.
Professor George Fraser from the University of Leicester told BBC News: "With an inflatable space hotel from Bigelow Aerospace under development in the US, and Virgin Galactic developing SpaceShipTwo, there will be better access to space than there has been.
"In the fullness of time we will have to adopt a universal currency if we are going to carry out serious commerce in space. It's an interesting initiative."
The current rate of exchange is £6.25 to the Quid. ®

Alyson Thoner's family pancake recipe is more than just breakfast: It's a time-and-space capsule that instantly transports her back to her childhood home out West. The starter she uses is descended from one created by her grandfather, and it lives in the refrigerators of family members across the country.
These pancakes can be put to both sweet and savory use; see the variations at the end of the recipe. Thoner's family never tops these with the traditional maple syrup and butter, but we think it's fine to do so.
Make Ahead: The sourdough starter must be combined with the flour and water from the recipe and allowed to sit in a warm spot for 12 to 24 hours.
Servings: 14
Yield: Makes 4-inch pancakes
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup warm water, plus more to mix with the baking soda
- 1/4 cup Easy Sourdough Starter (see related recipe)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- Unsalted butter (optional, for sweet pancakes; see VARIATIONS)
- 1/4 cup cinnamon-sugar mixture (optional, for sweet pancakes; see VARIATIONS)
- Sharp cheddar cheese (optional, for savory pancakes; see VARIATIONS)
Related Recipes
The night before you plan to serve the pancakes, combine the flour and warm water in a medium nonreactive bowl, then add the sourdough starter and combine. Cover the bowl with a plate and let it sit in a warm spot (70 to 80 degrees) for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours. (The longer the mixture rests, the stronger the sourdough flavor will be.)
When ready to make the pancakes, combine the oil, sugar, egg and salt in a small bowl and add to the flour-water mixture; stir to combine.
Combine the baking soda with a few drops of warm water in a small bowl to form a thin paste; add to the batter and stir briefly to combine (this will avoid creating lumps of baking soda).
Lightly grease a griddle or large skillet with nonstick cooking oil spray. Heat over medium to medium-high heat until a drop of water dripped onto the griddle sizzles and skips across the surface. Pour the batter onto the hot surface in 2-tablespoon portions; this will make 4-inch pancakes. Cook for a minute or two, until bubbles have formed on top of the pancakes and have popped, creating holes, and the edges have become dry. Turn the pancakes over and cook until lightly browned on the second side, from 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Serve hot.
For cinnamon-and-sugar pancakes: Remove the cooked pancakes from the griddle, spread or brush on unsalted butter, and sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Roll up the pancakes and eat them by hand.
For cheese pancakes: Place a thin slice of cheddar cheese on each just-finished pancake while it is still on the griddle, then fold the pancake over the melted cheese.

The FAA granted type certification last Friday for the Sikorsky S-76D medium-twin helicopter, a protracted program that was launched in 2006. Deliveries, which were originally slated to start in late 2010, are now planned to begin later this quarter, as the backlog is "approaching half a billion dollars."
According to Sikorsky Global Helicopters vice president Ed Beyer, "The S-76D will offer a higher cruise speed than its predecessors, coupled with more efficient fuel burn, making the S-76 more productive than ever." Deliveries of the original S-76 began in 1979.
The new version features major changes such as Pratt & Whitney Canada PW210S turboshafts, a digital four-axis autopilot and a Thales TopDeck avionics suite. With the dual speed main rotor, pilots will also find a quiet mode. Moreover, the all-composite blades are said to be "flaw-tolerant." A rotor de-icing system for all-weather capability will be available as an option.
Sikorsky attributed the most recent delay in the S-76D's certification, from the second quarter to this month, to a crack found on an engine mount. Sikorsky's development engineers believe they understand and have addressed the cause.

The delivery date originally announced for the D at its launch was actually late 2008, not late 2010. The original certification date at time of launch was mid-2008.

They may feel that this girl you care so much about isn't mature mentally enough for you and that you will start slacking in school and won't be motivated.
Talk to your parents and tell them that you want them to trust that you know what you're doing and that they bought you up to respect all women. As far as this girl is concerned, a long distance relationship is hard enough let alone a forbidden one it makes it even harder for the relationship to succeed because everyone is against you. When you go away to college then you can make your life just that your life but until then and while you are living in your parent's home you have no choice but to respect their wishes or hide to talk to this girl. I really think the thing your parent dislike about this relationship is her age she is not legally of age to date someone your age and your parents don't want her parents to get mad and charge you with Statutory Rape.
Your parents have your best interest in mind when they put these demands on you so don't be too upset with them. You're at the age where you have to start making choices for yourself and make your own way in life and your parents are just finding hard to let go and allow you to make your own mistakes and learn from them.
Then you have a tough decision to make because you know the only way you will be able to see her with out interference from you parents is if you were out on your own. Are you going away for college? If so make that your opportunity to see the girl and talk to her maybe think about getting a phone that you have to buy minutes for this way it will be your own personal phone to talk to her on and your parents won't get a bill showing her number on it. You are of age to make your own decisions without having to go to your parents for permission and since her mother doesn't mind her dating or talking to you then you have to do what you have to in order to be happy. It may be time for you to actually become an adult and get your own place and pay your own bills but since you are going to be in college that is going to be very hard to do. You're right there are MANY people that go to college and work to be independent, you could do it also. You just have to make up your mind what is more important to you right now staying with your parents and having them help you with finances or being with the girl you love and care about and being able to see and talk to her as much as you want to.

Finishing touches being applied to Community and Convention Center
(Lander, Wyo.) – Workers are busy applying the final touches to the new Lander Community and Convention Center which will be opened for public inspection in just over two weeks, on Saturday, Sept. 13th at 1 p.m. Wyoming Secretary of State Max Maxfield is scheduled to attend according to Lander Community Resource Coordinator Gary Michaud. As a member of the State Loan and Investment Board, Maxfield supported construction of the center.
The new facility replaces the former community center, which was destroyed by fire just over two years ago.
On Tuesday, a crew from Sprouts Greenhouse was busy installing landscaping in front of the new center, while finishing touches were underway on sealing masonry work on the front entrance to putting up the last of the light fixtures inside the grand room. Other features are nearly ready as well, including a special lobby installation depicting the Popo Agie River, plus a fireplace out on the patio.
"We gave a special tour for the Senior Citizens Center just last week. We were expecting around 10-15 people and about 100 showed up," Michaud said. "There is a lot of interest in this new facility and we can hardly wait to show it off."
County10.com's Ernie Over got a sneak peak of the new center on Tuesday, and shares some selected photos with this post. "We don't want to spoil the surprise for the general public," Michaud said.
To see the other features of the building, plan to attend the open house on 9/13.

Yeah like someone noted, 80-120 is normal. With increased urination and thirst this is a sign of diabetes. If you're checking it regularly then it may be able to wait a few days but it can be very dangerous. If you get too low, you could go into a coma and die from lack of sugar. If it gets to high, again with the coma and you could go into DKA, diabetic ketoacodosis, which is really bad and you will have to be hospitalized in the ICU because this is also life threatening. And like Sandy said, steroids do have an affect on BS. I would definitely go to the doctor. I know money's tight and the lack of health insurance sucks, but a few hundred dollars is worth your health. Without you, your life doesn't go on. Don't mean to sound mean, but it's true. This is a serious issue, your body can't survive without proper sugar levels.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for someone I'm not.


text: Finally Free from Fruit Fears? By Laura Cipullo, RD, CDE on July 21, 2015 So you may recall my disclosure in a previous blog, sharing that my son is anything but a fruit lover. He politely refuses whenever offered any – whether it's the sweetest, most amazing strawberry, or the crunchiest red apple. When he has tried the occasional bite, his eyes water, he gags, and just can't move beyond it. Read more »
