People at cemeteries across the nation were carrying out similar ceremonies to recognize veterans buried there, doing so as part of a nationwide effort called Wreaths Across America. The movement is 22 years old, and local organizers began participating three years ago. On Saturday, 353 gravestones were dressed with wreaths and two gravestones were marked with prayer stones, which were placed to honor people of Jewish faith buried there.
"There is no discouraging weather pattern that will halt or diminish this great community's quest to recognize those who have served by hosting such a spectacular event as which is about to take place here today," said Col. Brent Bolander, commander of the Anniston Army Depot. "During this wonderful month of December, many locations throughout this great nation will celebrate Wreaths Across America."
The ceremony began with a moment of silence for fallen soldiers and veterans classified as prisoners of war or missing in action. It continued with a rendition of "Amazing Grace" on bagpipes, a formal presentation of the United States flag and a prayer.
Rain droplets made popping noises as they fell atop open umbrellas when the crowd settled in for the ceremony. Before children dressed the gravestones inside the cemetery, retired servicemen and women and some of their family members presented wreaths outside the gates of the cemetery for each division of the military and to honor prisoners of war and veterans.
"You're always in the service, even when you retire," said Lt. Col. Jack Walker, 80, who retired from the Air Force. "Anything like this, you're always available."
The weather prompted members of the Mount Cheaha Harley Davidson Chapter from Oxford to cancel a group ride to the event, but at least three members still attended.
"It's the least we can do. These people gave all. We can stand out here and honor them," said Don Brown of Anniston.
Husband and wife riders Janet and Stephen Smith of Weaver are also part of the motorcycle group. They too attended the ceremony, despite the weather conditions.
"I am a veteran," said Stephen Smith. "I still feel like part of the brotherhood."
Maj. Gen. Gerald Watson spearheaded the move to bring the ceremony to McClellan. The event is funded by donors and cost about $4,000, said Michael Abrams, a local U.S. Army spokesman.
Watson addressed the Scouts and the 4-H Green Team members right after they finished placing wreaths on the simple white tombstones at the military cemetery.
"All of these things you are free to do because those tombstones upon which you laid the wreaths are the graves of someone who gave their life to protect your country," Watson said.

We should of got bledsoe in that cp3 trade!!!!!!! That was bs and they know it. The clips played hard ball with us and got us to bite.
Tune in on Fridays at 12 noon for Sport-a-Facts with Ro Brown and Wednesdays at 1pm for Sports Revolution to hear me speak my mind on all things Saints and Pelicans related and more.
Only on WBOK 1230 AM.
Feel free to PM me for more details.
Didnt Lamb get sent to the D League?
EDIT: yep he did http://sports.yahoo.com/news/oklahom...8808--nba.html
I would love to have sully coming off the bench for ad.
I love watching odom struggle,looking all fat running up n down the court!!!! hahahaha bum
Rivers just needs to get bigger. His game will be driving to the rim for a while. I hold out faint hope they fix his shot mechanics at some point, but he'll be good with added weight without it.
I do recall Dwayne Wade didn't make his mark in the league until he met, and trounced, Baron Davis and the Hornets in the 1st round of the playoffs rookie season.
been good talking hornets bball with you guys. Good night guys.
With purple and pinstripes from days gone by, I trumpet Hugo's name to the NOLA sky. When rebranders and posers abuse their might, beware my power, TEAL LANTERN'S LIGHT!
Forever hating the nickname, the logos, and the colors. Still backing the team I've loved since 1994.
Stolen name. Stolen colors. Stolen identity. Still the same old worthless Slobcats. Suck sludge, Charlotte.
Takes have already taken away Rivers' driving ability because he doesn't shoot well. Until he improves that, it won't matter how well he can drive.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
And Rivers isn't as explosive or strong as Wade. He is younger than when Wade came into the league. About 2 years younger.
Yet, there has only been 17 games played this year for Rivers. Also like Rivers, in Wade's rookie season he only shot 53 three pointers. Less than one attempt per game and only made 16 of them. That's .26 made 3s per game played.
Not saying they will take the exact same track in their careers, but some similarities are there. Give it time.
Most NBA fans knew who he was when he went on a tear for a couple of 30+ point games in his rookie year. You can continue to try to compare Wade to Rivers all you want but it doesn't make sense at all. Wade on his worst day is better than Rivers even if Wade can't shoot behind the arc.
Third quarters are the best for us
New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks
Baptize them in the water out of Scarface pool,
And feed 'em from the table that held Corleone's food,
If you die, tell them that you played my game
I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name.
To say a player chosen 10th in a deep draft won't be this or do that 17 games into their NBA career, as a light weight 20 year old, while comparing them to an NBA veteran needs no response. Just look at it like the train wreck that it is.
Talking about Rivers jumpshot is kind of pointless becuase his problem is finishing with or without contact near the basket. He just has poor touch.

Security Shield
Because Identity Theft is the Fastest Rising Crime in the Country
Using a variety of methods, criminals steal your identity by using your Social Security number, driver's license numbers, credit card numbers, ATM cards, telephone calling cards, and other pieces of your identity. They use this information to impersonate you, spending as much money as they can in as short a time as possible before moving on to someone else's name and identifying information.
Here is our Three Step Security Shield Approach:
- Step 1. Protection - Place an elective password and ID protection on your checking and saving accounts adding two important layers of security to your Coulee Bank accounts. Every time you conduct a transaction you will be asked for this password.
- Step 2. Prevention - Advanced technology and hometown service shielding your Coulee Bank's credit and debit cards. If your Coulee Bank cards are ever stolen, Coulee Bank's Identity Theft Officer will be able to assist you. Dealing with national credit card companies over the phone is one of the biggest headaches in repairing your credit.
- Step 3. Education - Implement our 10-step identity theft action plan to help protect yourself. What you will learn will dramatically reduce your risk of identity theft.
For more information, contact Coulee Bank's Identity Theft Officer at (608) 784-9550.

isoetharine mesylate-inhalation aerosol, Bronkometer
GENERIC NAME: ISOETHARINE MESYLATE - INHALATION AEROSOL (eye-so-ETH-er-een MESS-ill-ate)
BRAND NAME(S): Bronkometer
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage | Medical Alert
USES: This medication widens breathing passages of the lung to make breathing easier. It is used to treat asthma, emphysema, bronchitis and other lung diseases.
HOW TO USE: The medication is an oral inhaler. For best results, make sure your doctor or pharmacist demonstrate the proper way to use the inhaler. To use the inhaler, tilt the head back and keep the inhaler mouthpiece two finger lengths from the open mouth. Begin to breathe in slowly then press down on the canister to release the medication. Continue to inhale taking in the medication. Hold your breath for at least ten seconds, then exhale. During the second half of breath intake the airways are more open which helps the drug reach deeper into the lungs. If more than one inhalation per dose is needed, wait at least one full minute between inhalations. Use this inhaler as directed. Do not use it more often, increase your dose or stop using this without first consulting your doctor. Excessive use may cause side effects or reduce its effectiveness.

"I look forward to using the cute gift tag stickers over the holidays. I purchased several different designs to match my wrapping paper. All were just as depicted. The paper quality is high and designs clear. I purchased this in gold and plan to use it with some bags of holiday bubbly."
"I gave this to my daughter entering High School as a Freshman as a little back to school gift. I put her name and her school name on it (just the acronym due to lack of space) She loved it! I wish TinyPrints would offer more sitckers that allow this. It was hard to find the right one."
"The address labels are very nice!!! It was extremely easy to customize. I also ordered the matching invites in addition to the address labels (check out my reviews on those items). Lastly, I was due to receive my order on 3/15 but received it ALL on 3/7. Yay!!! You won't be disappointed if you go decide to order these gift tags. FYI, I needed to purchase a few more sheets of gift tags and customer service was so very accommodating and were able to add to my order since it had not gone to print. Super nice reps!!!"
"I am having a child-like adults-only game night for my 30th birthday, and all my decor is dots and stripes. I wanted to hand out little favor bags [like for kids' parties] with miniature liquor bottles, so I was looking for some that matched my theme. Luckily, I came across these gift tags & the proportions were perfect to make my own little booze bottles (which ended up saving me money!). Because of the large area on the tags, I was able to turn them into a little thank you cards while still including my party info on them. I am extremely pleased with the end result, and the bottles look exactly as I wanted them to."
"This was a perfect sticker to attach to card stock to create a label for a Bridal Shower. The top line read, "Life is Sweet". Below it we put in the couple's first names followed by the date of the wedding. Then we punched a hole in the upper right corner and with ribbon attached the label to jars of local honey. It was fitting since we hired a local baker to demonstrate cupcake decoration and served filled and decorated gourmet cupcakes at the Bridal Shower. Working with Tiny Prints was a joy. Our guests raved about the design and use of the label. It could be used for birthday parties, anniversary celebrations and other important events where sweet rule!"

A unit in your Mitsubishi Galant powerplant termed a distributor is in control of shifting strong currents of electric energy to the spark plugs from the ignition coil. The distributor rotor is a portion of the distributor that is operated by the camshaft and revolves to convey contact areas near one another at time periods, allowing the electrical energy to pass through. The principal function of the Mitsubishi Galant distributor is to time the firing of spark plugs, perfecting the ignition procedure in the car.
Continually maintain the great shape of the distributor rotor of your Mitsubishi Galant to maintain the ignition assmebly correctly in sync. Incorrect ignition timing can bring about a fall in vehicle effectiveness and wasting of precious fuel in your Mitsubishi Galant. Regular assessments and tune-up of vehicle parts such as the distributor rotor are excellent habits in appropriate automobile care in order to detect and remedy problems quicker. To make the best out of your money, you should pay for a top-caliber distributor rotor in your Mitsubishi Galant to ensure resilience and superb gas economy.

Softball Tops First Region Poll, Still 3rd in Nation
NFCA Top 25 | NCAA Regional Ranking
DAHLONEGA, GA – The North Georgia
softball team is at the top of the first NCAA Division II Southeast
Region Ranking released yesterday afternoon, while the NFCA has the
Saints as the #3 team in the country for the second straight
North Georgia has the second most wins in all of Division II, sitting at 29-3 overall, while leading the Peach Belt Conference with a 7-1 mark in the league. The Saints are riding a six-game winning streak and have won 21 of their last 22 games, while going a perfect 9-0 at home this season.
The National Fastpitch Coaches Assocation kept the Saints ranked 3rd in the nation last week, sitting behind Angelo State and Alabama-Huntsville who have claimed the top two spots each of the last two weeks. Southeastern Oklahoma and Humboldt State round out of the nation's top five, while Francis Marion is the only other Peach Belt conference school in the top 25, currently sitting at #19.
North Georgia has taken on three schools in the top 25 this season, posting a 3-1 record against those institutions with the only loss coming to 2nd-ranked Alabama Huntsville last month. The Saints swept 7th-ranked Valdosta State on the road in a pair of one-run games the first week of the season and run-ruled 21st-ranked Lewis University in the sixth game of the season.
In the all-important National Collegiate Athletic Assocation (NCAA) Division II Regional Rankings, the Saints find themselves at the top of the Southeast Region for the first time in school history. The NCAA ranked the top ten teams in each region with records as of March 23.
North Georgia tops the poll with a 23-2 record against in-region teams, while Lenoir-Rhyne comes in second, USC Aiken third, GCSU fourth, and Wingate rounds out the top five. Francis Marion, Newberry, Augusta State, Catawba, and Lincoln Memorial round out the top ten in that order.
The NCAA will now release weekly regional polls throughout the rest of the season before selecting the field of 64 teams the evening of Sunday, May 3.
North Georgia was set to host the 2009 Moe's Classic over the weekend, but rain has forced the opening day of the tournament to be cancelled. The Saints are still set to play 7th-ranked Valdosta State and Augusta State on Sunday with the tournament possibly carrying over into Monday.

Rollei Bullet HD actioncam shoots video, not ammo
The Rollei Bullet HD actioncam records 720p video and is reportedly impervious to dust and impacts, but lacks a viewfinder (Photo: Rollei)
Article Summary
Before current technology allowed them to be available to the public, wearable POV (point-of-view) video cameras were known within the television industry as "bullet cameras," because of their shape. Nowadays, they come in all shapes, sizes and price ranges, and are generally called actioncams or helmetcams. Hearkening back to the days of yore, however, is Rollei's recently-released Bullet HD. With its aluminum body and rounded nose, it does indeed look like a big bullet ... or perhaps a small Thermos flask.

RENO — Attorney Lindsay Eaton and paralegal Kristin Smith of the Las Vegas law office of White & Wetheral will focus on the dangers and penalties associated with distracted driving at the Washoe Zephyrs Chapter of the American Business Women's Association (ABWA) networking meeting today at the Claim Jumper Restaurant at 4905 S. Virginia St.
Distracted driving involves texting, surfing the Internet, playing games and talking on cell phones without a hands-free device while operating a vehicle, and became a fineable offense in Nevada as of Jan. 1. Aside from being illegal, distracted driving is dangerous and is responsible for more than 3,500 crashes in Nevada each year, with more than 60 deaths reported over the last five years, according to the Nevada Department of Transportation. Studies have shown that drivers who use hand-held devices are four times more likely to get into crashes serious enough to injure themselves and others.
Networking begins at 5:30 p.m., with dinner and the presentation from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The dinner meeting costs $23 and reservations can be made by contacting Betty Mullins at 329-3026, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Non-members are welcome to attend.
The Washoe Zephyrs Chapter of ABWA represents the northern Nevada area and meets the third Tuesday of each month. For information about membership, contact Jackie Frady, membership co-chair, at the National Automobile Museum at 333-9300.

The Search For G is Scary (Usain Bolt)
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
That commercial was all over the NBA's All Star Weekend fun and despite everything going on in the video — KG, The JabbaWockeez, Monty Python homages — the main thing that stands out to me is Usain Bolt's head, dancing on a pair of feet. And nothing more. No body, no neck. Nothing. Just Bolt's head and his megawatt smile. Dancing. Connected to feet. It's both hypnotic and scary at the same time. Don't get me wrong, Usain deserves all the endorsement money he can finagle because it's not like Track and Field has NBA-like funds pouring in.
But really, is scaring the hell out of any children watching the dunk contest the best way to promote a new — and unnecessary — branding venture? "What's 'G'?" It's Usain Bolt's bigger-than-life head dancing across your screen on a golden pair of shoes, evidently.

Thanks Pritchet. I really appreciate your opinions and input.
Here is what I"m planning to do. Will you please share any of your wisdom or opinions?
Junction Cable
I think I am just going to enlarge the regular shifting cable stop and use that for the junction wire. I should be able to drill it out but leave enough so that it will still work as a cable stop. Not quite as clean as yours but I don't have to go into the frame that way. I'm thinking of cutting the junction cable near the small connector end (near the BB), then feeding the cable through the shift cable port on the down tube through the bottom of the BB, do the wire splicing outside the BB, then connect the wire to the lower junction thingy and tucking it all inside the BB.
FD Cable
I can feed the FD cable down through the existing FD frame hole, connect it to the lower junction thingy, then stuff it back up inside the BB.
RD Cable
Easily feeds through the hole in the end of the chainstay and then fish the wire through the BB hole, connect to lower junction thingy and stuff inside BB.
Battery Cable
I plan to connect the battery cable to the lower junction thingy and then stuff it inside the BB. I plan to temporarily mount the battery using the screw hole on the underside of the BB.
Shifter Cables
Temporarily route them on the outside of my (internal channeled) handlebars. If the wire splicing of the Junction Cable goes well, I will then refit and splice them inside the handlebars.
Are the wires color coded inside the cables or do I need to check continuity?

Make Cleaning Your Room Fun
In the category computer tech that we have to do an infomercial …..?
In category Tech Computer, we need to do an infomercial for a product that we make up. This is completely false and just for fun. The product I came up with is like .. jet that you use to get rid of the mess. Like, if your room was in disorder, you can spray in your room and your room will be clean. I need help with ideas for the name of my product. Unable to use Clutter-Be-Gone, because it has already been taken. I just need some ideas! Thank you. We also need a slogan for our product.

Mon. - Sun. 4:30pm - 11pm
Meal was an embarassment – My son was visiting from Florida and offered to take me to dinner. I suggested Eckl's because I had heard great things and had a couple of good meals there myself. I ordered the broiled Orange Roughy - it was smothered in butter and cooked to the point the bottom was crunchy and difficult to cut. The coleslaw was warm. My son didn't eat his steak because it was flavorless - he described it as like tofu. He also had mashed potatoes with gravy that he couldn't eat because of the salt. He said the salad was good. Foolish me - I had expected a salad with a $16.99 meal, but I guess a small piece of overcooked fish, a baked sweet potato and some warm coleslaw should have been enough!
POOR Meal – This has to be the worst $80.00 meal I have ever had. The lobster bisk was luke warm and the roast beef wa ice cool. When I told the waitress she told the roast beef in the back and must have microwave it. I didn't even get a sorry. I will cook at home before I ever eat here again.
YOU HAVE TO GO HERE!!!! – Everytime we go to Buffalo, everytime our kids go to Buffalo, we eat here! Roast beef on weck is a Buffalo thing but it's delicious. Add some lobster bisque, german potato salad, a drink and your in for some of the best eating you've had. Don't like beef on weck, get their prime rib - you'll love it. Oh, did I say the service was SUPER, and the prices VERY GOOD!
Beef. Kummelweck. Buffalo's native sandwich served here, piping hot and crusted with rock salt. – In Short
One of Buffalo's most famous beef on weck restaurants has (more or less) been in the family since 1906. Its specialty is beef on weck, a sandwich of hot, thin-sliced roast beef on a rock salt-crusted kummelweck roll, which originated and is found only in Buffalo. A pleasant, casual restaurant with two dining rooms has garnered a devoted following. The carvers of the Black Angus steamboat roast beef perform their craft at the steam table. Roast beef sans the roll, a variety of fish and shellfish plates, steaks, chops, prime rib and burgers round out the menu.
After a Bills Game – A group of our friends went to Eckls after a recent Buffalo Bills game. What a wonderful surprise for me since it was my 1st visit. We all ordered different items from the Menu and shared. I tasted a Beef on Weck that I put on Buffalo's top 5. Yellow Pike that is always on the menu and fresh. Even the Grilled Cheese sandwich ranked excellent. Try it, you will like it.
Eckl's is Best Beef in Buffalo – Eckl's is a small place, but they manage to move folks in and out quickly without hurrying them. The bar can get a little crowded as usually you have to wait for a table, and the bar area is tight. I have never had anything in here that wasn't absolutely perfectly prepared. Their beef on weck will melt in your mouth. The service is prompt, their servers are very friendly. The beer is cold, the glasses are clean, the table linnen is clean and ...linnen. The dining area is comfortable, not too crowded though usually filled.
where's the beef – I lived in Buffalo for 15 year's so I have tried almost every beef and weck made and i have to say Eckl's is pretty good

Phoenix Coyotes captain Shane Doan: 'Right now, we're not very good'
Originally published: Jan 11, 2014 - 10:07 pm
But when an opponent also happens to be a divisional foe and the league's points leader, the stakes become, well, that much more important.
The Phoenix Coyotes knew as much heading into Saturday's Western Conference clash with the Anaheim Ducks, but once the puck dropped at Jobing.com Arena they indescribably looked flat and disinterested in the task at hand.
Outside of a second-chance tally by Lauri Korpikoski in the opening period, the Coyotes found themselves utterly outclassed by the visiting Ducks. After 40 minutes of play and a goaltender change later, Phoenix trailed 4-1 with little to no chance of getting back into the contest.
While Mike Ribeiro and Martin Hanzal recorded their 11th and 13th goals of the season respectively late in the third period, it proved incidental, as the Ducks skated to their fifth straight win by a final of 5-3.
With the win, Anaheim secured its first season sweep of the Coyotes since the franchise was still based in Winnipeg back in 1993-94. For Phoenix, it put a rather fitting bow on an ugly 2-4-0 home stand.
After the two-goal defeat, Coyotes captain Shane Doan didn't mince his words when talking about the state of the team.
"Right now, we're not very good," Doan said. "We haven't been very good for awhile. We've been fooling ourselves, finding ways to come back and get points and tie games and get to overtime in the last month-and-a-half. We haven't been good enough."
Following the loss to the Ducks, the Coyotes will embark on a mini two-game road swing to Winnipeg and then St. Louis. While Phoenix only sits two points out of the second Wild Card spot out west, the 17-year veteran reiterated that the standings won't matter much if he and his teammates don't drastically improve their play.
"We have to be better as a group," said Doan. "To a man, you have to be better. I have to be better. Yanz has to be better. Marty has to be better. As a group, we have to be better. That starts with our goaltending right on out to our defense to our forwards.
"You have to find ways to contribute more as each individual guy and do your job. We talk about keeping it simple and doing the little things, but as a group we tend to get away from that. When we get away from that, we get in trouble. We've shown lately that we can't handle too much adversity. We have to keep it simple."

I Refuse to Wrestle a Girl Because Girls Have Cooties

The Iowa High School State Wrestling Tournament is going on in Des Moines this week. This year, 2 female wrestlers qualified for state. In most years this is an opportunity for the athletes to prove themselves and showcase their talents based on what they can do on the mats, not because of their gender. One wrestler, however, has decided to make a statement based on his religion.
112-pound sophomore Joel Northrup of Linn-Mar of Marion, ranked #4 in the state of Iowa, refused to wrestle freshman Cassy Herkelman of Cedar Falls because he didn't want to compete against a girl.

As the cool crisp fall weather sets in on Raleigh, a war of sorts is declared by homeowners; against yellowjackets, paper wasps, and hornets. These wasps have a tendency to turn aggressive during the fall, as their diets move from the proteins and carbohydrates they enjoy during the spring and summer, to sugar-rich foods like ripe fruit and sweet soda during the fall.
Fall Wasp Wars
Wasps have a tendency to turn aggressive during the fall months. A single wasp colony may have over 10,000 female worker wasps whose sole purpose is to hunt for nutrients to bring back and feed to the colony. Wasps in search of these sugary sweet nutrients turn potentially aggressive, ruining outdoor activities and bombarding backyard barbecues. The result? Painful stings, sometimes repeatedly, whenever human interaction is present. These painful wasp stings usually happen while shooing them away, walking barefoot near food, or swallowing wasps that have crawled into beverage cans.
To make it all worse, wasps have a built-in warning system that alerts other wasps when danger is present. All you have to do is merely swat at a yellowjacket, and an alarm pheromone is released that brings out an army of wasps to attack the aggressor.
It's important to note that throughout most of the year, wasps keep to themselves and are generally harmless; only exhibiting defensive behavior when their nests are compromised. No matter the time of year, it is recommended that homeowners battling fall wasps not do so by themselves. It's best to solicit the aid of a pest management professional.
Such was the case when Morrisville's own Anna, contacted Bulwark Pest Control last night to help out with her wasp problem. Here's the glowing review she left Bulwark on Yelp:
Excellent Yelp Review For Servicing Fall Wasps
Yesterday we had a swarm of yellow jackets, wasps and bees surround our home. Tonight is Halloween! I was frantic!
I called the pest company that has been servicing this house and they told me they would have to charge me extra to come out and help and then "I believe" they accidentally hung up on me.
I called Bulwark Exterminating and they were so nice and understanding. He understood what was going on. I told him I needed to also sign-up for quarterly service since I was going to be cancelling the service with my current company who couldn't help me.
They had a technician, Orlando Council, at my house by 7:30am!!! The next morning! I couldn't believe it! I was sooo happy to see him sitting outside my house waiting for me!!
I walked him through our house inside and outside. He immediately got to work finding the source of the insects and did a full house extermination inside and outside for me.
We are also currently using this company for another house we have.
They didn't charge me extra. They didn't charge me that usual LARGER first bill. He did so much to help us. He solved our insect problem.. so we can have a safe and happy Halloween tonight.
I can't tell you how truly thankful I am… that they cared so much for us, to take the extra effort to add us to their already busy schedule… And not charge me extra or an "arm and a leg" for it!
They only charged me my regular quarterly fee.
Bless them! Orlando – you are the man!!!!

Last November, when Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham was captured giving Florida kick Chas Henry the choke sign before a field goal attempt, there were a lot of folks who came down on Grantham.
We weren't among them. Was it a juvenile move from a grown man? Sure. But did the act deserve the national attention it drew? Not in our opinion.
Then came Grantham's dust-up with Vanderbilt coach James Franklin following the Bulldogs' win last month in Nashville. As we noted at the time, Franklin "seemed calm and composed while Grantham appeared to go haywire."
We also pointed out that Grantham had at that point been caught twice "acting like an overheated, 20-year-old player." We wrote that he got "some egg on his face."
And he did, the national media repeatedly showed the clip of him screaming at Franklin. Grantham later apologized.
We gave Franklin the benefit of the doubt on that occasion. His reputation had been pretty good to that point. Grantham was the known hot-head, not Franklin. And if — as Franklin claimed after the game — a Georgia player had taunted him and his team, we have no problem with him taking it up with the opposing team's coach.
But now we're left to wonder what Franklin said to Grantham that got him so riled up. You see, it's been reported that Franklin has now had his second run-in with an opposing coach after a football game.
Saturday night, Tennessee defeated Vanderbilt in overtime. Vol defensive back Eric Gordon picked off a Jordan Rodgers pass and returned it for the game-winning score. But an official incorrectly blew a whistle and marked Gordon down. Though no Vandy players seemed to slow down or stop, technically the play should have been dead right there, it should not have been revieweed — inadvertent whistles aren't reviewable — and Tennessee should have started it's own offensive possession.
Instead, the officials reversed the call after a review and got the call "right," in terms of what actually happened, but they were wrong in how they arrived at their decision (as even SEC coordinator of officials Steve Shaw admitted yesterday).
Franklin was livid over the call and he apparently refused to shake the hands of Tennessee quarterbacks coach Darin Hinshaw and offensive line coach Harry Hiestand after the game. (Photo at left.)
If true, this is now the second time Franklin has gotten into some sort of postgame altercation with an opposing coach.
Making matters worse, Jimmy Hyams of WNML-AM/FM in Knoxville has reported that a witness heard Franklin shout an obscenity toward the Tennessee student section as he left the field.
And tossing in one other nugget at this point, Vanderbilt is also developing a reputation for delivering late clips. Vanderbilt center Logan Stewart was given a half-game suspension by the SEC for a blindside, knee-first that hit he put on Georgia's Kwame Geathers. On Saturday, the Commodores had a 70-yard pass called back when O-lineman Josh Jelesky delivered a similar clip to a Tennessee defender.
After his team's game with Georgia, Franklin said, "We are gonna compete with class and we are gonna play with class. And we're gonna coach 'em with class."
Well, as was the case with Grantham, we start to pay more attention when a pattern begins to develop. So if — and we stress if — Franklin snubbed a pair of UT coaches and cursed Tennessee's student section on Saturday, then he might want to rethink that part about coaching 'em with class.
And if his team continues to be penalized for delivering low, cheap shots game after game, he may have to tweak that part about playing with class, too.

Hello friends! I'm so glad you stopped by to say hello today! Welcome also to my new friends who have so kindly joined up and are following NatashaInOz.com! It always makes me so happy to find new friends so thank you very much!
I hope that everyone has had a great week so far. It looks like many bloggers are either busy getting kids back to school after the Summer Holidays or getting ready for Spring Break as is the case in our house!
I have started Spring cleaning at our place and as much as I hate cleaning I always feel so much happier when the house is sparkling clean. In my last post I mentioned that I am trying to be greener by using cloth shopping bags. Another way I am Greening up my life is by adding more greenery to our home décor.
I am having trouble finding good quality fresh flowers, though, so I have been using lots of free
foliage from the garden.
foliage from the garden.
I love having fresh flowers in our house because they make our home so happy and cheerful and, according to behavioral research conducted at The State University of New Jersey, fresh flowers can actually improve our emotional well-being!
The study was partially funded by the Society of American Florists and it shows that the presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfaction and affects social behavior in a positive manner far beyond what is normally believed. Researchers said that many flowers have pleasing scents, shapes, and colors, which may contribute to our positive reaction to them. Flowers also have long-term positive effects on moods with study participants reported feeling less depressed, anxious and agitated after receiving flowers, and demonstrated a higher sense of enjoyment and life satisfaction. (Source)
Another study conducted in 2006 by Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital found that simply displaying fresh-cut flowers in the home can have advantages because the presence of flowers in the home increases feelings of compassion, decreases anxiety and boosts energy and enthusiasm at work.
The greatest mood-boosting effects were felt when fresh-cut flowers were placed in the kitchen, dining room, or family room. "Flowers bring about positive emotional feelings in those who enter a room," Dr. Haviland-Jones stated. "They make the space more welcoming and create a sharing atmosphere."
Now, don't despair if you are like me and you can't find any decent fresh flowers! Just do what I do and go walking around your garden (or your parent's garden!), find some foliage and
Gum~nuts from the Eucalyptus tree, an iconic Specimen of Australian flora.
So, don't think that you can't have fresh foliage in your home. There is always a way to make your home bright, cheerful and welcoming any time of the year!
Dracaena marginata tricolour with Variegated Ginger Alpina zerumbet `Variegata` plant leaves
Well, I'd best be off so I can finish my last few jobs for the day and visit all the lovely bloggers who have dropped to Say G'Day this week!
For more ideas on decorating with flowers please visit Bonnie at Living with Thanksgiving and Brenda at Cozy Little House as they have also been blogging about the beauty of fresh Flowers!
Great minds think alike ladies!

I was very happy working for the engineering firm until one day the sales manager called me and asked me to stay back and do some work for him. Always ready to help I said yes and when everyone left went down to his office. "Come in" he called and I stepped into his office knowing we were the only people left in the offices. I was still dumb.
He locked the door saying we don't want to be disturbed. Locking the door did make me aware of something wrong and when he put an arm around me and tried to kiss me I started fighting him off. He was a fat bald little man and I was a fit young woman. My fist lashed out and connected with his face knocking him to the ground. That door was unlocked and I was away like lightening. The next morning just as I was going to complain to the boss, the boss sent for me. It was like standing before the headmistress of my old school. He informed me that the sales manager had complained that I had tried to seduce him and when he tried to restrain me I had punched him. What did I have to say for myself. For a moment I was stunned, then with a raised voice I called that man a "Slimy rat. A dirty old man" and proceeded to account for the punch, ending by saying "I can't work with a sleazy old pig like that".
The boss was silent for a moment and then informed me this man had a wife and two daughters. One daughter was my own age. If I pursued my view of the situation it would cause great harm to innocent people and not help anyone. He thought I was wise to leave and would have my pay and a reference ready for me if I would go and clear my things away. I marched out of there indignant and boiling. There outside the door was my victim. I gazed at his face in shock. His nose was swollen and red, one eye was black and swollen shut and a big lump rose over one ear. I couldn't believe my fist had caused all that damage but it had. He sneered at me and said "I told you your job would be gone."
He left quickly or I might have closed the other eye. Not being aggressive by nature it was only a matter of minutes before I saw the funny side to all this. I wonder how he accounted to his wife for the injury. Anyway when I went back to the boss he handed me my pay and an envelope containing my reference. He shook hands with me and I left to go straight back to school before they believed the lies.
At the school I opened the pay packet while the teacher looked on just to make sure my cards were there as well as a week's pay. I was staggered. Not only a week's pay but an extra two weeks' pay as well. I had never owned nearly twenty pounds in my life. Savings here we come.
Then I learned a similar thing had happened to the girl before me but she had not been believed. Apparently it didn't seem possible for a man in his position to behave badly. He couldn't imagine he was attractive surely. The school solved the problem by sending a young man to take my place. They assured me they believed what I said had happened.
Almost immediately I was sent to do the books of a firm in "Gunnersbury Park." What a sweet job. It was for three days and the boss bought me lunch each day and a big box of chocolates when I left.
I walked in the park after lunch and admired the peacocks there. I wasn't aware of the size of their spread tails until then. Gorgeous.
Another job awaited me at once. Another three-day one at a milk depot. All was well until I arrived early the second morning to find black beetles everywhere. A packet of insect powder was on the windowsill over a radiator where most insects were. Hastily I poured powder down the floorboards and all around. Suddenly my door flew open and a man rushed in. He was covered in pink dust. "What are you doing? Look at me. I could be poisoned." He rushed out and when I looked I could see right through to the accounts department below. I learnt that he sat on a chair close to the radiator to keep warm. He didn't turn up his toes not even a cough. In the factory part I went to complain about the beetles to the boss and saw people skimming beetles from the big vats of milk. We could have as much thick cream as we wanted but after seeing that, no thank you. I finished the three days and left with a present of this cream. I did not eat any although I was assured being scalded cream it was safe.
Back to school again. This time I was asked if I would go to Battersea Flats to do another three day catch up job. Well, it was out of my travel way but to oblige the boss I agreed. For the pay I was getting nowhere was too far.
This was a factory on the banks of the river Thames and near the power station. Not a nice area besides needing a bus, a train and then another bus. As I say, money beckons. After the three days there was about an hour's work to finally finish. I suggested that I could work back and get it done. The boss said yes and gave me a key to lock up and post through the letterbox.
Great! All was as quiet as the grave and I worked hard not liking to be there too long on my own. Leaning back to take a break I looked up and saw through the gloom, my desk light was the only one on, little bright eyes looking at me from the rafters. There were dozens of them. Then a furry slinking body went plop on the desk in front of me. I squealed and grabbing my jacket and handbag I left. They were big ugly rats. I even forgot to leave the key and had to go back the next morning to return it. The boss was so overcome with remorse that he ordered a taxi to take me to the station. Apparently a rat catcher went in regularly and was just due.
Back to the school where there was a permanent job waiting. It was with an insurance firm connected to Lloyds.
I was now seventeen and on my birthday dear Ernie sent me a pretty wristwatch and a huge basket of fruit. There were all kinds of exotic fruits among the usual ones. The big purple figs were delicious.
The work was most interesting. One thing I learnt, read the small print. Most of the catches were contained in the little words at the bottom of the policy. "Act of God" was a favourite ploy. What a variation in work. Shipping to race horses. Flotsam and jetsum. Such a to-do when a ship's cargo was damaged. All in all it was a good well-paid job.

I have read alot about designing your own system and I think I am ready to tackle it but I am in sort of a dilema. From what I can tell, there are two basic ways to set up your valves and pump.
First of all, I am pumping from a canal about 15 ft lower than my pump. I have been deliberating on putting a pressure tank on my line and letting a pressure valve control the pump operation or using no pressure tank and letting the irrigation controller control the pump with a relay.
I want to place my valves near each zone so that I may manually control the valve if there is a problem without walking all the way around the house, plus I avoid the loss in running smaller line from the valve to each zone with having the valve at the zone.
I really don't want to use a pressure tank because they are ugly and expensive but I still want to have the valves at each zone. I don't want to turn off the valve and have the pump overheat because the irrigation controller is running it. I am thinking of putting a relay for the irrigation controller and a pressure switch in series with the relay so that even if I turn off a valve, the pressure would build and turn off the pump. The also allows you to save the pump from overheating if a head becomes clogged, etc...
Will this work? Does this sound like good logic? Has anyone done this before?
I would appreciate any feedback on a system set up in this manner.

Acer and the 2012 Olympics
Jul 26, 2012 11:26:49 AM
When it comes to the Olympic Games, it seems that the athletes get all of the glory. They train hard, display incredible physical talent, and rejoice with their country's flag held high after proving that hard work and dedication really do pay off. But, what about the production of it all? While most of us cling to the television to watch the races, celebrate with our fellow Americans, and revel in the athleticism, the Olympics also plays quite the role in technology. In fact, three consumer tech brands, Acer, Samsung and Panasonic, will be amongst the 11 companies sponsoring the Games this year.
Anton Mitsyu, Acer's head of Olympic sponsorship, reported to ABC News, "For the Olympic movement we are more than sponsors; we are partners. We bring our expertise and our experience with equipment and people. Our responsibility is to provide the computing for the games". This computing responsibility is one in which Acer does not take lightly. Thousands of athletes, coaches, trainers, fans, crew members, etc. will be using Acer's equipment on the Olympic grounds at one point or another during the summer competition.
Let's take a look at the breakdown of Acer's technological contributions to the 2012 Olympic Games:
- 13,500 desktop computers
- 2,900 laptops
- 950 servers and storage systems
- 13,000 monitors
- 4 computer areas with free Wi-Fi at the Olympic grounds, 3 for athletes to access the Internet and 1 for press covering the games
- 400 engineers on the grounds to ensure the technology is functioning smoothly
Clearly, Acer's role in the 2012 Olympic Games is quite an important one. Athletics aside, technology still plays an instrumental part in the overall functioning of the Games. For the latest technology on the market, visit Little Soft Shop today!

I keep downloading flash and it says it has been downloaded succesfully but when I go to find it on my computer it doesn't show up anywhere. I'm trying to watch videos and cant because it says I need to download flash but for some reason it isn't working. My computer runs on windows 7.
we have the same problem help us
i think there's a problem in adobe flash player download link when it comes to window 7
Sorry correction I have Inernet Explorer 9
yeah i cant download it in both ie 9 and firefox
Is it doing the same thing for you? It looks as if it is downloaded properly but when I try to find it on my computer it is nowhere to be found.
yup i encounter it before i cant download it
after the downloading i click it and try to install after installation failed the installer disappeared in my downloading folder
Download the full installers from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-pla yer-windows.html#Install_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment and save them to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installers.
I've been having this problem too. The allegedly successfully downloaded file is in my computer's programme list, but shows 0MB file size. Installation problem starts every time when it doesn't bring up the terms and conditions box for me to agree to prior to installation. It goes straight to (not) downloading the file.
Click the appropriate link from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-pla yer-windows.html#Install_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment.
Then save it by clicking Save.
Then double-click the file that you saved.
Tried that. Didn't work. File list still shows program installed but no size next to the file. Did ask me to agree to installation this time, but it made no difference to the outcome. When on adobe site at the box that's supposed to show the version of flash player installed or an error message, it is completely blank. Every time I 'download' flash player the web message I get back from adobe is that it has successfully downloaded. It hasn't.
What is your Windows version & edition?
What web browser(s) do you use?
What files do you have in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash and C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash ?
P.S. what are the permissions for these two folders in my earlier post?
Sorry, post crashing!
@Pat Willener, I am running WIndows XP Home 2002, using the latest Firefox (downloaded 2 days ago) and I went in to my System32\Macromed etc folder and found the files in the image below. I don't know how to find permissions - I'm a bit clueless here. Your help would be appreciated as to what to do next. Thanks!
disaster_barbie: thank you for the information - you seem to have all the correct Flash Player files. What exactly is your problem?
Same problem - so frustrating!!! 3 different computers - 2 desktops (32 and 64 bit) and a laptop - all fairly recent - and I can't successfully download Flash. Like others here, the download certainly looks successful, and I when I use crapcleaner to uninstall, it shows up then to uninstall, but none of the suggestions in this forum work (I only see exe files that will uninstall, not install) and I am wondering what's up with such a non-functional download!!! Any other NEW suggestions? Is this a problem inherent with Adobe, and if so, will they fix it??

What is your problem? So far, each poster had a different problem. Please describe exactly what your problem is, and also include your Windows information.
I go to the adobe download site and download the latest version of flashplayer (and yes, I delete what my computer thinks are old copies first). It seems to go seamlessly to completion, but it doesn't 'show up' - none of the programs requiring flashplayer work and I can't search for it. But if I use crapcleaner to uninstall, it says it's there. very frustrating. I can't use the audio on Tumblr at all because of this, which is very frustrating to my students as well.... Thanks for any insight.

the download is broken - flash download times out - so does reader. Can't install the software if we can't download it. Somebody from Adobe TRY IT. When you get the save menu, that's just the first part - then it goes out to lunch for about a minute or two and then starts downloading the actual software and this is where it times out. That's why some people can't find it on their computer - the download failed.
Please don't tell us how to do it - go out and try the download yourself. I have 3 computers and the download times out on each one - have high speed cable so that's not the issue.

Please try a clean install, as described in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
Assuming that you are on Windows, as all previous posters in this topic, download and run the appropriate installer(s) from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-pla yer-windows.html#Install_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment
If you still have problems, please specify your Windows version & edition, as well as the web browser(s) you use.
Hi Pat – still no luck. I tried it today on my work PC with the exact same result – and I did follow the instructions for the clean install. I run various versions of windows on my various computers (that makes 4 now that this is a problem with) – Windows 7, vista… I prefer firefox, but if it will only work in explorer, I'll use that.

Can you see the Flash animation at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?
On one computer where it does not work, please tell us what files you have in
Also, can you list the contents of the FlashInstall.log file in both of the above folders.
Finally, if you type
about:plugins in the address bar in Firefox, does it list Shockwave Flash as an enabled plugin?
I have to say i'm super frustrated with this as well. I flushed the computer clean so once reloading a bunch of stuff back on the computer adobe flash player was one of the things I had to put back on. The reader went on fine saved to my desktop ok. The flash player is far from as simple to get on there as you'd think. At least not smoothly. I use windows 7 (Interet explorer 9) and avast. It "says" it installs sucessfully yet the only place I can find it when it was SUPPOSED to be saved to the desktop is in the uninstall programs list. I think its installed on my computer now after checking a bunch of forums and trying different things (diasabling this and that) to try to figure out whats going on. It shows up on this page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html .... Anyways I spent wayyyyyyyyyy too much time on something that should and use to be so simple. Clearly im not the only one having this problem. I think something needs to be done for people to be able to download this with less hassle and headaches. avast+IE9+Windows 7+trying to download adobe flash =

Flash Player is a browser add-on, and as you have just shown, it works perfectly on your system.
If you need more help, please start a new topic and explain what exactly does not work.
no offense pat but just because its supposedly working on my cpu now is no out for the fact it was abosolutely infuriating to get to work on the cpu, and i still think adobe should be making it more user friendly. thanks for your concern anyways.
alright so i went and reinstalled both the reader and flash. clearly you were right by the way pat, the flash player works perfectly on my system, which must be why you tube's telling me i need to update my flash player even thought i have the latest version. i'm fed up with two days fo trying to get this program to work.
So what version do you have installed according to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html# main_Find_the_Flash_Player_version_installed_on_your_machine ?
hi pat sorry for being grumpy in my other posts. so i think its uninstalled out of my cpu right now its only blank boxes on that link you left. funny enough this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTTEdewT1xU&feature=related plays on my cpu...... yet others say i need to update. i am using internet explorer 9, avast, 64 bit. i cant get flash to work on my cpu properly. even when i had installed the latest version you tube still told me i needed to update. not to mention when i saved it to my desktop theicon dissapears once i install it and then the only place it can be found is in my programs list (where u uninstall stuff)
by the way what is the adobe pdf link helper? is it required to be enabled is it even related/required for the flash player?

No, that is part of Adobe Reader; completely unrelated to Flash Player.
hey pat my many thanks my problem was teh activex filter ahaha, im an idiot. once i went and checked to see fi it was on on you tube all the requiring updates messages went away once i clicked the little blue crossed out icon and disabled activex. thanks again. i still wonder though why when i save instaklling flash it doesnt save on my computer and the only place i can find it is in my uninstall programs. thanks again, any thoughts on why it doesnt show under programs?
