Fast-forward farm shows. One year after a major introduction, AGCO, the company that was built on brand names, adds more products and more lines.
Eight years ago when AGCO was formed, its leaders may not have realized the scope and breadth of what the company could become, or what it is today. Just this year alone, AGCO entered the sprayer market with the purchase of the Spra-Coupe products from Melroe; purchased Cargill's Willmar line of sprayers, spreaders and loaders; expanded its Fendt line - which will soon reach our shores - and expanded its distribution of some North American brands into the global market.
Even with all of that expansion, AGCO still had time to build and redesign new products for baling, mowing, planting, pulling and tilling. Take a look at what we found at this year's farm shows, all new from AGCO.
More from Massey. Massey introduces advanced, high-horsepower and mid-range tractors to help with heavy tillage, mowing, baling and other chores around the farm.
For the high-horsepower market, models 8270, with 200-hp PTO, and 8280, with 225-hp PTO (to be officially launched in early 1999), offer 4-wd power in a new 513-cu.-in. Valmet 645 turbocharged diesel. Features include an electronically controlled full power shift with an 18 forward and 6 reverse tranny that offers an optional creeper gear. Tractors have an electronic 3-pt. hitch with lift capacity to 14,000 lbs.
Working at mid-range horsepowers, the company introduces models 2210 and 2220, which are 4-wd units with 53 and 63 hp, respectively. Both come as a platform or cabbed model with a flat deck for easy access and operator comfort. A 12 forward and 12 reverse synchro shuttle transmission is standard; creeper range is standard on low-profile/low-clearance models, optional on others. Engines are a 49-hp PTO, 3-cyl. Perkins diesel for model 2210 and a 58-hp PTO, turbocharged, 3-cyl. Perkins diesel for model 2220.
The company's new 200 series utility tractors offer a range of 34- to 67-hp PTO. Standard in all models is an 8-speed manual-shift transmission that features sliding gears to provide a total of 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds. Two of the models, 240 and 253, feature 4-wd or nearly 30% more traction to help pull through loose or muddy soil, over trashy fields or around slippery field lots. Circle 239.
All new from AGCO Allis. These new mid-range or high-horsepower tractors from AGCO Allis offer advanced hydraulics and creature comforts, among other features, to make your daily grind easier.
New tractors in the high-horsepower, row-crop 9700 series range from 160 to 225 hp. The series includes 9755, 9765, 9775 and 9785. All models are powered by a 6-cyl., AGCO Allis diesel 8.7-liter engine. A wide, roomy cab offers a generous view of your fields, and console controls are set in the armrest for convenient operation.
Models in the 8700 series include suspended foot pedals and console-mounted controls for easy operation. All models in the 70- to 110-hp series are available in either 2- or 4-wd with a maximum steering angle of up to 55 for better maneuverability.
Cabbed models 8745 and 8765 have hand throttle, electronic 3-pt. hitch controls, 4-wd and differential lock switches in the middle of the console for easy fingertip control. For better visibility, cabs feature 54 sq. ft. on the 8745 and 8765 models and 61 sq. ft. on the 8775 and 8785 models. Circle 240. White's got it covered. From its basic 6100, 4-row planter to its 6800 series variable rate, central fill unit, White has a planter to fit your needs. The basic 6100 series models are available for narrow or wide row widths and as 4-, 8- or 12-row units. The models are also available as vertical fold units. White 6180 forward-fold series includes an 8-row wide model, a 12-row narrow or 12-row wide unit, and a 16-row narrow model. Units can go from 15 ft. wide x 11 ft. high transport mode to planting in less than three minutes, according to the company.
The 6200 and 6300 series horizontal fold planters with rear or wing fold frames are perfect for the farmer who plants 30-in. corn and 15-in. beans. Conversion can be completed in minutes using a hydraulically activated frame fold. New wing fold planters in the 6500 series combine narrow rows with narrow transport and variable rate technology to help give your yields a boost. All models let you adjust plant populations on-the-go with the company's variable seed rate controller. Models 6512 and 6515 transport at a width of 13 ft. 8 in. with fertilizer units. Model 6512 comes as a 12-row, 20- or 22-in. model and the 6515 comes as a 15-row, 15-in. unit. Or lock up interplant rows and plant 8 rows at 30 in.
The 6500 series also has six forward fold planters with 24 or 31 narrow rows featuring row widths of 15, 20 and 22 in.
A large central fill hopper on the 6800 series planters holds 60 cu. ft. of seed. The planters can handle a number of planting functions in different crops and is the first planter to come with an advanced hydraulic seed drive as standard equipment. Circle 241.
Hesston hayers. Take your pick from Hesston's new 800-series round balers designed to make 4- x 5-ft., 5- x 5-ft. and 5- x 6-ft. bales.
The series includes model 845 with a low-profile pickup width of 771/2 in. and models 855 and 856, both with a pickup width of 92 in. All balers feature centering augers that move the crop into the bale throat, 16- x 161/2-in. gauge wheels, a new hydraulically activated slip clutch and lace belts for easier service. Balers run off a 540- or 1,000-rpm PTO, require at least a 65-hp tractor and hold up to eight balls of twine.
The company is beefing up the current models of its mower conditioner line by adding new features. The 1365 rotary disc Hydro-Swing pull-type unit offers a new 110-in. helper roll for better feeding and cutoff, and skid shoes are 33% wider for improved wear.
Models 1260 and 1265 sickle-type mowers replace the current 1160 12-ft. and 14-ft. windrowers and also feature the company's Hydro-Swing. Model 1275 replaces the present model 1170, a 16-ft. windrower.
The company adds to its sickle-type mower conditioner with model 1270, a 14-ft. double-sickle unit. All models feature new guards and hold-downs for reduced sickle wear, increased auger separation and a heavier right end panel to ease reverse loading. Warning flashers are standard. Also new is model 1275, a 16-ft. unit that replaces the current 1170.
Heston upgrades its self-propelled windrowers with new models 8250/8250S and 8550. Enhance-ments include larger drive tires for increased ground clearance, an increase in header lift pressure to 2,500 psi and larger, roomier cabs with a long list of creature comforts. Circle 242.
Single-pass systems from Glencoe. Glencoe's additions to its family of tillage products are all designed for one-pass farming.
The UM4650 UniMulch and SF4600 Soil Finisher prepare a seedbed in a single pass. According to the company, the machines can operate in high-residue conditions, and the UniMulch can even operate in fields with standing residue where no primary tillage has been done.
Both the UM4650 and SF4600 come in six working widths, from 18 to 401/2 ft. The narrower-width models fold to 13 ft. and the wider models fold to 16 ft. for transport.
The disc gangs on both machines are spring cushioned with hydraulic depth control. The UM4650 has five ranks of auto-reset (550-lb.) shanks, and the SF4600 has a choice of Live Leaf (165-lb.) or heavy-duty G-tine shanks. Optional seedbed finishing equipment includes 5-bar and 8-bar flexible spike tooth harrows, a 15-in. rolling reel with 5-bar flexible spike tooth harrow and tandem rolling treaders with 18-in.-dia. spiders.
The new FC3600 field cultivator can mix, aerate and level the soil, while incorporating herbicides and fertilizers, all in one pass through the field. The FC3600 is available in working widths of 42, 49, 57 and 62 ft. The company claims that the cultivator's shank is narrower than conventional shanks to lessen soil resistance and reduce horsepower needs. The 27-in. -long shanks maintain 165 lbs. of point pressure, have a 91/2-in. trip height and penetrate the soil even in tough soil conditions.
Working depth of the shank can be adjusted manually or hydraulically with depth adjustments located on the front of each section. The adjustment can be automated by installing the optional depth control system 3000.
According to Glencoe, its DR8600 disc ripper shatters soil compaction while incorporating crop residues to enhance yield potential for next year's crop.
Models are available with 4, 5, 6, or 7 shanks set on 30-ft. spacing. You may choose one or two disc gangs ahead of the V-frame shanks to size residue to your needs. Concave coulters, which are controlled separately from the shanks, are individually mounted at 15-in. spacing (or optional 12-in. spacing) to maximize residue flow. Disc gangs are individually adjustable to 10, 15 or 20 angles. A rear disc leveling gang is optional. Circle 243. Contact AGCO Corp., Dept. FIN, 4205 River Green Parkway, Duluth, GA 30096, 770/813-9200.

The recession has been tough on most industries, but it also has created opportunities for companies in every industry. The fitness industry is no exception.
Some fitness facility operators, including commercial clubs and nonprofits, have gone out of business or filed for bankruptcy. However, some club operators—often larger club companies with deep-pocket backers—are finding opportunities for expansion.
That does not mean that small club operators also cannot find success today, even though the recession probably has hit the smaller fitness facility operators the hardest. Some people even have speculated that perhaps one day these smaller operators will be close to extinct. But I do not think that will be the case. Most big club companies, such as 24 Hour Fitness, Gold's Gym and Life Time Fitness, started as small mom and pops. But that does not mean that every one-club operator must become a big club company in order to be considered a success. The industry is full of one to three club operators who have made a real difference in their communities and had financial success while doing so. Think of Red Lerille's Health and Racquet Club in Lafayette, LA; Gainesville Health and Fitness in Gainesville, FL; The Atlantic Club in Manasquan, NJ; and East Bank Club in Chicago.
What have these club owners done to compete with chains and regional players? They have set their facilities apart for one reason or another—customer service, breadth of services provided, wellness programs, family programming. And they have operated smartly, controlling costs, charging what their programs are worth, not cutting prices to compete with lower-priced club companies who do not provide the same services. The owners of these facilities know that what they provide is worth what they charge. And when a club is marketed properly, members and prospects also see that these facilities offer something unique that's worth a higher price.
So if you are an operator of one, two or three clubs, what can you do to set yourself apart? First, you must take a hard look at your market, its demographics, your competitors. This might require the use of a consultant. Then, find the need that is not being met in your community. Perhaps you have a large number of people who run marathons or participate in triathlons. Develop programs and staff to help them. Perhaps you have noticed that singles in your community are now marrying and having children. If no one else is serving them, ensure you have child care, summer camps or after-school camps. Or consider the green club concept if you find that the people in your community are active in the sustainability movement.
Small club operators cannot simply sit by and wait to be gobbled up by a large chain. Unless, of course, that is your exit strategy. And even if that is your plan, the large chain operators will only be interested in paying a fair price for your club if you can show some long-term success in your market. So plan ahead to do so.
Smaller operators are not going away. They simply must become smarter, quicker and more nimble in adapting to a changing market and changing consumer demands.

Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew has already been ruled out for at least one more game, but his return may be in sight.
Jaguars coach Mike Mularkey said at his press conference today that Jones-Drew will not play on Thursday night against the Colts. However, Mularkey said he doesn't think Jones-Drew's season is over, and that he could return as soon as the Jaguars' next game, on November 18 in Houston.
Jones-Drew has been out since suffering a foot injury in Week Seven against the Raiders. Rashad Jennings has struggled in Jones-Drew's absence, with 50 carries for 148 yards in three games since Jones-Drew went down.

Many WWA Nationals and Worlds have been won on the Vault wakeboard - a series with no limits takes features from several wakeboards in Ronix's line. This ride is a platform to develop your riding style - allowing a rider to stand more efficient - redefining the demands needed for the latest in toe/heelside versatility.

Airline partners with Michelin Star Restaurant Lei Garden to provide exciting new menu choices in the air
(HONG KONG) Dragonair today announced a new partnership with the renowned Michelin-starred Lei Garden restaurant to launch an inflight promotional menu featuring specially designed Chinese dishes. The new menu marks another step in Dragonair's continued effort to provide the best travel experience for its passengers.
The menu designed in conjunction with Lei Garden will be featured in all classes of travel from Hong Kong to Beijing and Shanghai, as well as in First and Business Class from Hong Kong to Taipei and Kaohsiung. The Lei Garden dishes will be available from 16 July until July 2011. (See appendix for menu details).
Speaking at an inflight menu tasting event today, Dragonair General Manager Inflight Services Cecilia Leung said: "We are best known for our creative, high quality and tasteful inflight meals where we frequently rotate our menus to give our passengers, especially frequent flyers, new experiences every time they are on board. Menu design and selection are critical elements for inflight catering. Therefore, we only partner with the best restaurants to create enticing new menus to add even more sparkle to our food. As a Hong Kong based airline, we also strive to promote Hong Kong by introducing varieties of local Hong Kong cuisines.
"Lei Garden, a Michelin starred restaurant, needs no introduction to the Hong Kong community. It is well-known for its high quality and creative cuisines. This is the first time for Dragonair to partner with Lei Garden. We are very excited to work together to bring inflight dining experience to an even higher level." Ms Leung added.
With a history going back 36 years, the Lei Garden Restaurant Group has always been a favourite with Hong Kong diners. Lei Garden Restaurant Senior Manager (Operations) Taylor Pang said: "The Lei Garden Restaurant Group is very honoured to be invited by Dragonair to provide recipes for its inflight meals. We are certain that the internationally acclaimed service of Dragonair coupled with our Michelin-rated Chinese cuisine will take dining in the air to even greater heights.
"We have put extensive effort into testing and re-testing our recipes, selecting dishes from our extensive menu that will meet the requirements for serving in the air while maintaining flavours and aromas to match what is served directly from our kitchen," Mr Pang said.
To commemorate Dragonair's 25th anniversary, a series of new inflight menus covering both Chinese and Western cuisines and designed by renowned restaurants, including JW's California and Dynasty Restaurant, have been introduced since mid-April. Other anniversary activities over the course of the year include a specially designed aircraft livery, super saver promotions, a special themed website and enhanced inflight services including more duty-free inflight sales items, a monthly lucky draw and the launch of a home delivery service.
New Inflight Menu designed by Lei Garden Restaurant includes:

Fist pumps all-round in a certain corner of TG HQ: the Dacia Sandero's
got a new look.
Dacia tells us that James' favourite Fiesta rival now expresses
"vitality and versatility and brings customers unrivalled equipment for money".
But it gets sexier. The boot volume of 320 dm3 VDA means it thrusts ahead of
its class. Drop the 60/40 split-folding rear seat and load volume's off the
chain – there's 1,200 dm3 VDA to play with. Woof.
Not many more details than that so far, TopGear.commers, but more will be
revealed at next month's Paris Motor Show, including price. Which in the Dacia
tradition, will be extremely competitive (remember, the current Duster SUV costs
a mere £8,995).
Joining the Sandero in Paris will be a new beefed-up faux 4x4 – the
Stepway – and the Logan saloon (although this won't be making it to the UK). We'll
have all the details on these live from the floor as usual…
Tempted in these austere times?

Cracking Open the Tandy TRS-80 Model 100
Released in 1983, the Tandy TRS-80 Model 100 was one of the first truly portable computers. Before its release, mobile computers, such as the Osborne 1 are more "luggable" than portable.
We first cracked open the Tandy Model 100 back in 2008. And while our original gallery was good, I believed it could be better.
Since then, we've purchsed new photography equipment and honed our photo shooting and editing skills. And, I thought it was time to revisit the Tandy Model 100. Come along as we crack open the Tandy TRS-80 Model 100.

ETAP electrical engineering software provides a time-saving capability to automatically run multiple scenarios with different project files and verify the power system analysis study results (load flow, short circuit, etc.) against benchmark reports (results obtained previously). Once set up, you can compare hundreds of study reports together with one action.
This is also a great tool for the internal verification and validation of a new version of ETAP after initial installation, i.e., study results from the latest version of ETAP are automatically compared with results of older releases of ETAP with Pass/Fail flags.

lining up tiles
Author: Shawn
Date: 12/3/2008 12:23 am EDT
I have recently completed an install of about 550 sq ft of this wonderful product. I have not completed the grout as I am curious about how my tiles line up. I have made sure that all tabs are locked together during my install. I noticed however that my tiles don't line up in certain areas, meaning my line is not true across my entire installation. It is not really noticeable unless you look for it or you are down on the floor, my question is are these tiles supposto line up perfectly or am I just overly picky as I crawl around on my floor inspecting? Looking at traditional tile installs I have noticed that the tile lines are often out a tiny bit. If I use a wooden block and a rubber mallet to try and get things lined up, I end up with an area that was lined up perfectly out a little bit. Any thoughts?
Author: Journeyman
Date: 12/3/2008 1:06 pm EDT
Shawn I don't know what the Avaire "Company Line" will be on this query but I can tell you that even though the tiles may be rectified they can still have a slight variance in their size. This condition is typical with all tile.
In addition the manufacturing of the trays will have a slight variance. Then along comes the joining of the tiles to the trays and yet another slight variance can occur. Even though tolerances in manufacturing vary, no matter how precise one tries to make a product of this nature some variances will occur. Combine an opportunity at multiple variances and you have a slightly imperfect finished product. Those imperfections are considered by many to be "The Beauty of the Tiles". Once the grout is installed the variances will blend and be even less conspicuous.
Just a two cent reply to a common question.
Author: Chris
Date: 12/3/2008 1:42 pm EDT
Shawn, Journeyman is correct, The beauty of ceramic tile is sometimes in the imperfections. But if you have an area that may have some misalignment and you want to tap them back into place without disrupting the alignment of the tile that are straight try inserting a standard 1/4" tile spacer in the tiles that you don't want to move before you tap the other tiles in place. The spacers will ensure the alignment stays in place while moving the others.
Good luck. let me know if this helps.
Author: Shawn
Date: 12/3/2008 2:37 pm EDT
Thanks guys!
I may try the spacer and see what happens. I will have some pictures in the next little while, once my baseboards are back on etc if anyone is interested. Like I said earlier, what a terrific product.

This afternoon there's nothing to do but snow haiku. My attempts at 5, 7, 5:
Full fat flake fell far
To sleep on the rude pavement.
Grraaawwwr. The shovel. Run!
Snowflake: distinctive,
Unique. Liquefies, blends. A
Loss, but less lonely
All New York today
Is slush. Slip, fall, "Have a hand!"
We shyly love mess
Snow meets us, observes,
Turns gray and thick in protest.
It is a critique.
Dr. Zhivago
Cried "Tanya" not "Lara" when
Fevered. Oh poor man.
You can do this too
On a cold slushy day in
February. Go.
Eighty-four degrees
Can only mean winter
In SoSoSoHo
(The last one is from my editor, who's in South Florida.)
I am catching up on "Girls," which is on HBO on Sunday nights and is often compared to "Sex and the City." They're identical in main subject matter, four girls in New York looking for life, but they're different in interesting ways. In "Sex and the City" Samantha was looking for sex, Charlotte sought love with the right sort of man, Carrie wanted a particular man and to make sense of the world through her work, and Miranda was in search of the locus of the resentments that caused her chronic unhappiness.
All had adventures along the way. There was an emphasis on glamour.
In "Girls," Hannah wants fame, Marnie wants status, Jessa wants to be cool at any cost, and Shoshanna wants to be normal but doesn't know what normal is or looks like and is constantly confused by her friends' cues.
On "Sex and the City" they had careers but were not precisely careerist. On "Girls" they want careers but have no demonstrated capabilities.
On "Sex and the City" the subtext was friendship. In "Girls" the subtext is competition. It is a truer show in a material sense, but a colder one. People aren't really nice to each other. There's a sense of grieving over something that isn't quite named. There's little emphasis on glamour.
The differences in the tone and mood of the two shows is explainable in part by the fact that the characters in "Sex" were in their 30s and the characters in "Girls" are in their 20s and just out of school. They're more lost, less fully formed. They're trying to get a start on who they will become but can't gain purchase because they don't yet know who they are.
But watching, I thought the show's creators were saying, or simply reflecting in their work, that young and academically credentialed girls now are a little more lost, a lot less fully formed than young women in past eras. The great recession is a quiet presence. It's hard to get a job; sometimes Hannah acts as if she's scrounging for food. The parents of the characters are mostly affluent flakes who wouldn't have taught their kids much beyond the idea of rising.
"Sex and the City" had an air of rebellion. "Girls" is living in the middle of what the rebellion wrought.

When Jeopardy "clue crew" member Kelly Miyahara joined Team in Training, she not only discovered triathlon, but made a new group of lifelong friends. The 34-year-old instantly connected with one woman in particular, Marisela Echeverria. One day, while watching the GoPro IRONMAN World Championship on TV, the two made a promise to each other: If they ever got the chance to go, they would race on the Big Island together.
The morning of their first IRONMAN together (IRONMAN Canada) Miyahara woke up to learn that her friend had flown back home to be with her family—Echeverria's father had passed away the previous night. Echeverria later secured a spot at IRONMAN Arizona, delighted that she wouldn't have to see all her training go to waste. But one day, while out on a training ride for her new goal race, tragedy struck again. Echeverria was hit and killed by a bus on the California coastline. She would never cross an IRONMAN finish line after all.
Miyahara's determination to make it to Kona and run it with her friend, this time in spirit, began to mount. As the race in Kona approaches—the one year anniversary of her friend's death—there is no other place the Kona Inspired winner wants to be. "I couldn't think of a more special way to honor my friend, to share her story and keep her memory alive," she says. "I know she will be with me every stroke, pedal and step of the 140.6 miles that day."
Since Team in Training is what brought her to triathlon and introduced her to her friend, Miyahara, 34, has decided to fundraise for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as well. She says the organizations have forever changed her, bringing her lifelong friendships, and challenging her to strive for goals she never dreamed of. She has already raised more than $30,000 for the charity. Miyahara says the opportunity to raise money for a cause "in memory of a beautiful soul" is her way of giving back.
What would Miyahara tell her friend if she had the chance, one last time? "Thank you for changing my life forever," she says. And one more thing, too: "Don't forgot, I may need to borrow your angel wings on race day, OK?"

15 Strange Things That Seem Normal Only In South Korea
- published: 21 May 2018
- views: 8053368
South Korea is a dream travel destination for many, an absolutely fantastic culture, a country of contrasts, where modern technologies and ancient Eastern traditions harmoniously combine into something totally unique in and of itself. Every journey to this amazing country reveals countless new secrets and mysteries. These crazy yet amazing facts South Korea might astonish you. Photo credits: https://m.pikabu.ru/profile/AdaKwon (2:57, 3:49, 4:41, 7:44) People in Korea really love practical gifts like this and especially ones that can be eaten. For example, management at one South Korean company presented their employees with food baskets. The Korean New Year usually takes place in January or February, depending on the time of the second new moon after the winter solstice. South Korea is home to the most visited church in the world with a parish consisting of over 1 million people a year. There\'s an established gift-giving culture in Korea with certain rules. For example, big gifts to teachers or public officials are considered bribes. And when somebody visits your home in this country, you can be sure that they'll bring a drink, dessert, or fruit. In Seoul, there\'s a subway train dedicated to a comedy animated series called "Larva". It runs on the green line 8 times a day and features two of the cartoon's main characters in every car. Koreans are not very familiar with Western traditions, and they don\'t even have geography at school. At the same time, they\'d be happy to tell you anything you want to know about K-pop singers and bands. Music: Ishikari Lore by Kevin MacLe...

The operators of Jackson�s Cafeteria have made it their business for the past 40 years to send customers home with full and happy bellies.
The area staple was started by Sara and the late Bob Jackson and has remained in the family ever since. It�s maintained several locations over the years, but currently has a store in both Gastonia and Rock Hill. The Gastonia restaurant, one of the few cafeteria-style restaurants left in the area, has called the Akers Center home for the past five years.
(See Amanda Memrick's business story: Family & Food -- Jackson's Cafeteria celebrates 40 years)
�Gaston�s always been our bread and butter,� said Nancy Martin, comptroller of Jackson�s Cafeteria in Gastonia and daughter of Bob and Sara Jackson.
Jackson�s feeds about 4,000 people a week, and some people eat there every day or even twice a day. Some have even been raised on Jackson�s food, Martin said.
Dave Martin, manager and son-in-law of the Jacksons, said it�s the affordable prices, quality service and homemade food that have kept customers coming back over the years. Everything is made from scratch right at the restaurant.
David said the recipes have mostly stayed the same over the years, with many coming from S&W Caf�, where Bob Jackson worked before opening his own business. Some of the recipes are more than 60 years old. But don�t expect to find out what�s in your favorite dishes � Jackson�s recipes are top secret.
Customers will find standard dishes on the lineup as well as daily variations. Some of Jackson�s most popular foods are roast beef, country fried steak, fried chicken and chicken and dumplings. Other items on the menu include meatloaf, beef tips and rice, turkey and ham, as well as 14 vegetables. And on Thanksgiving, customers can have a holiday dinner at the restaurant or order it to go. Last year, 175 turkey boxes were sold.
Nancy said they have tried to emphasize that customers can eat healthy at Jackson�s. For example, they offer baked as well as fried fish and chicken and cook some items in olive oil instead of margarine.
However, eating healthy would mean passing on the desserts � and that could be nearly impossible. Bob Jackson�s specialty was baking, and Jackson�s continues to carry plenty of sweets.
�The desserts are to die for,� Nancy said.
Cobbler, banana pudding, sugar free strawberry pie, egg custard pie, pecan pie, red velvet and carrot cake are just a few of the many options.
Readers share their favorites at Jackson�s Cafeteria
When The Gazette asked Facebook fans about their favorite things to eat Jackson�s, the response was overwhelming. About 33 �likes� and 70 enthusiastic comments poured in, many with multiple exclamation points. Several readers who couldn�t make up their minds simply said �everything.� Here are some of responses:
�They have the best cabbage I have ever had in my life!� � Kathleen Sowersby
�Chicken and dumplings and mac and cheese. I have to get it every time.� � Sabrina Anderson
�Chess pie is awesome. I love their vegetables!� � Holly Hutter Diaz
�Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, broccoli casserole, yum, any cake will do.� � Angela Stines
�Their baked whiting fish is wonderful. I could eat it every day. And their steamed cabbage is great. I try to eat there at least once a week but have been known to eat the more at times.� � Angie Conner
�Oh my, hands down it is the chicken and dumplings. I love them; my grandchildren love them. All their food is good, but my favorite is the dumplings. They make them like my mom used to when she was still with us. So, it�s a great walk down memory lane with every bite.� � Donna Avagliano
�Their jalape�o cornbread is THE BEST! I live in Louisiana, but visit N.C. every three months, and I always make a stop, or two, at Jackson�s in Gastonia!� � Kahuna Ric
�Hands down, the cobbler! I like the country style steak too!� � Joan Painter
�Their spaghetti, beef tips and rice, country style steak and potatoes are awesome!� � Tonya Parker
�The egg custard pie! I buy them whole! Also the broccoli casserole!� � Kimberly Griffin Yarborough
�Everything, but my fav is dumplings! Atmosphere and the customer service is even more of a reason to eat at Jackson�s!� � Shannon Crump
�Jackson�s has been my 5-year-old�s favorite restaurant since birth! He says the corn is �the bomb!�� � Sandi Greene Weaver
�My 3-year-old loves to go there to eat �crunchies,� a.k.a. fat back, haha. My personal favorite is the country style steak! Yummy.� � Amy Fredrick Cody
�Fried chicken livers! I can�t make these myself and very few places have them on the menu! And their yeast rolls!� � Gayle Gladden Johnson
�Chicken and dumplings, broccoli casserole, squash casserole and salad with their awesome ranch dressing.� � Rachel Teague
�We always take my nephew, Carson, there. He loves the corn as well as the blue Jell-o that he insists on eating first!� � Karen Greene Lawrence
�Turkey and dressing and their chocolate pecan pie. Oh, Lord, I need to run over there right now. LOL.� � Kay Brown
�Fried okra, dressing and varieties of cobblers!� � Vivian McLean Taylor
�Barbecue beef (when they have it!), corn and Mexican cornbread! Mmm mmm!� � Ashley Hyleman Weidman
�You can�t beat (as they have affectionately become known by the courthouse crew) �Chicken Fried Steak Tuesdays!�� � Pennie Miller Thrower
�Mom loved everything there, and Stuart Harris likes the roast beef ... it�s all good! All the time!� � Michael Bunner
�I always eat the same thing when I go there: roast beef, green beans, cabbage and cucumber salad.� �Becky Moser
�Roast Beef, rice and gravy, and I always get their peach cobbler. It is good. Been eating there 40 years.� � Judy Norris
�Baked fish, fried okra, broccoli casserole and yams ... the perfect meal!� � Pam Longaker Ledbetter
�Mac and cheese all the way! Best ever! Been eating it since I was a baby.� � Audrey Baldwin

First the horoscope arrived.
Then about a week or so later, came the letter.
By the way, I am a Capricorn Man. My wife, is a Gemini.
Welcome to La Vida Loca.
And Happy Mother's Day, Everybody!
1. I had NO idea that was on the horoscope. I didn't even remember what Maria's birthday was. (I only read the CUTE saying they had.)
2. If you want me to be the "Bad" guy in this for something "harmless", then so be it. I can't control what people think! If I bothered to look at that part of the clipping, I may have thought twice. But, it was so unimportant to me, I never even looked! Maria should know in her heart how very much I care for her!
3. If you still have the cold after the antibiotics stop, you should have the doctor renew them 'cause I had to renew mine when I had the flu. You have to stay on 1 week longer. It's so cold up here now, I had to put on my heavy "down" coat 'cause I don't want to get sick again.
Take care-

The Flying Dutchmen will be seeking to rebound from a rare losing campaign. Coach Stu Fritz has guided the Flying Dutchmen to eight Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) championships over the last 15 seasons. The 2008 team finished fourth in the MIAA standings and were 15-25 overall.
The Flying Dutchmen will be playing for the second season in the Boeve Baseball Stadium, a beautiful facility that ranks with the best in NCAA Division III.
The pre-season roster of 28 players includes 19 returning letterwinners led by tri-captains Robby Poll, a junior pitcher/infielder from Grandville, Mich. (Grandville HS), Matt VanderVelde, a senior first baseman from Grandville, Mich. (Grandville HS), and Dustin Wuis, a senior pitcher from Kalamazoo, Mich. (Comstock HS). The roster includes eight freshmen, nine sophomores, five juniors and six seniors.
The Flying Dutchmen return three players who have received All-MIAA honors during their careers. Dustin Wuis was voted an All-MIAA first team pitcher as a freshman and sophomore. He struggled in 2008 posting a 2-7 record after going 7-2 in 2007 and 5-1 in 2006. Matt VandeVelde was the All-MIAA first baseman in 2007 as he topped the MIAA in batting (.425). He batted .324 overall in 2008 while comitting only one error the entire season. Poll was voted to the 2008 All-MIAA second team at second base after batting .357 in league games and .321 overall. He also posted a 4-6 record on the mound.
Other returning letterwinners include sophomore third baseman/catcher Jake Bajema of Grandville, Mich. (Grandville HS), sophomore utility player Colton Bodrie of Fremont, Mich. (Fremont HS), sophomore outfielder Drew Carmody of Grandville, Mich. (Grandville HS), sophomore outfielder Wyatt Curry of Sault St. Marie (Saulta Area HS), junior pitcher Michael Dekker of Hamilton, Mich. (Hamilton HS), sophonmore second baseman/pitcher Derek Fairchild of Saline, Mich. (Saline HS), junior second baseman Alex Fryer of Clearwater, Fla. (Clearwater HS), sophomore pitcher Andrew Klinkman of Dexter, Mich. (Dexter HS), senior pitcher Shawn Grose of Fairless Hills, Pa. (Pennsbury HS), senior pitcher Brian Guerriero of Clare, Mich. (Clare HS), sophomore catcher Steve Lewis of Ada, Mich. (Forest Hills Central HS), senior outfielder Paul Neumann of Holland, Mich. (West Ottawa HS), senior pitcher Matt Richardson of Niles, Mich. (Niles HS), sophomore pitcher Steve Tompkins of Glen Ellyn, Ill. (Glenbard West HS), junior outfielder Scott Snyder of Berrien Springs, Mich.

NEC Display Solutions presents your world in a showroom at ISE 2016
NEC demonstrates a world of visual applications that enables organisations to share, present, analyse, review and control information
Munich, 08 February, 2016 – NEC Display Solutions Europe kicks off ISE 2016 with a showcase of the world of visual solutions and its benefits demonstrated in real-life and professional display applications. Within the themes of share, present, analyse, review and control, NEC will highlight how display technology can transform and enable a greater visual experience in environments including corporate, retail, education, travel and more.
Bringing together display technology from NEC with its ecosystem of partners, NEC will showcase unique applications to the visitors to the stand 4-R24:
- Sharing that enables collaborative working in a digitised workspace. On show will be a multi-touch edge-blended interactive wall, that allows multiple participants to connect simultaneously. It features an interactive multi-touch projection solution using DisplayNote NEC edition. NEC will also be showcasing a 5m2 interactive workspace, which can be used in public spaces and shopping areas. There will also be two touch tables showing detailed information thanks to their Ultra High Definition resolution.
- Presenting using images that enable engaging and accurate visual aids. This is delivered by the wide range of laser projectors including the new flagship PX803UL projector, video wall displays and fine pitch LED modules. All display technologies are highly reliable, and for example with developments in SSL technology, now offering a low total cost of ownership. Modular video walls can be created with X555UNS and UN551S displays that are almost bezel-free and offer precise colour reproduction. On show will be the new 1,5mm fine pitch LED, now part of a broader LED portfolio for indoor and outdoor applications.
- Analysing using clear visual display, in order to enable more informed decision-making. For example retailers analysing the shopping trends of their customers instantaneously, using NEC FieldAnalyst software that can be integrated into other real-time analysis or reaction based solutions. In the corporate environment, there are desktop displays on show that showcase new elegant design and the premium feature set available, such as the EX241UN monitor with ultra slim bezels.
- Reviewing visual content such as a movie or still image, where compromise on quality is not acceptable. Reference imaging solutions meet the highest demands for colour accuracy and attention to detail for production and review in media and broadcasting environments. SpectraView displays deliver the very highest standards of colour technology and panel expertise. Two UHD desktop monitors, PA322UHD-SV2 and EA275UHD will be on show demonstrating this absolute attention to detail.
- Control offered through display technology enables large amounts of data and media to be monitored and reviewed. Using Hiperwall software, mission-critical scenarios can be managed incorporating multiple input sources. In order to support heavy-duty applications, the technology also has to provide high reliability and robustness. NEC will be showcasing video wall displays, as well as the X981UHD large format display which offers pixel-free ergonomic viewing.
"NEC is not only an expert in people's evolving needs, but is also focused on changing the limits of what is possible," comments Stefanie Corinth, Senior Vice President Marketing and Business Development at NEC Display Solutions Europe. "Display technology provides a crucial benefit in many different ways, it not only improves the overall experience and engagement but directly supports business objectives, providing a better ability to share, present, analyse, review or control information. Through close relationships with our technology partners we continue to explore new ways to create brighter visual experiences."
Stefanie concludes: "At ISE this year, we are showcasing scenarios to show how the world of display technology positively impacts business or organisational operations. Together with our ecosystem of partners, we are proud to demonstrate how this can be achieved."
During ISE, DailyDOOH editor in chief Adrian Cotterill will be at the NEC stand 4-R24 interviewing top guests in a TV studio scenario, whilst a team provides live examples of post production.
In addition, Bernd Eberhardt, President and CEO, NEC Display Solutions Europe, is participating in The ISE 2016 Opening Panel Discussion exploring the convergence of AV and IT and how this has created technical challenges and business opportunities for the installation and integration market sector.
To find out more or for one of the guided tours with NEC experts that are taking place throughout ISE, please visit the NEC stand 4-R24. More information is also available at: www.nec-ise.com
Follow us on Twitter at @NEC_Display_EU to keep up-to-date with all NEC Display Solutions news in EMEA. We will be tweeting live at the ISE event. To find out the latest from the event, keep an eye on the hashtag #ISE2016

The Lotus Evora has received numerous accolades since its launch. Using a combination of value for money, good looks and impressive performance, it has become the sports car that every motoring enthusiast can aspire to.
The Evora exists in two different forms, a normally aspirated 276 bhp version and the Evora S, a supercharged 345 bhp offering. New for 2013 is the Sports Racer, a set of upgrades which can be applied to both the normal Evora and the supercharged version that nets you a £6,000 saving on options.
The idea is, you get the best Evora you can for your money, as well as a few special tweaks in the looks department that we think make the Sports Racer the sexiest car in Lotus's current line up.
On the outside, Lotus has added a gloss-black roof, diffuser, splitter and sills. From the side, the contrasting black against the paintwork of the doors causes a trick of the eye, where the lines of the bodywork appear to be pinching to a bottleneck just before dropping back out for the rear wheels. Set that against a set of black, forged-alloy wheels and you have an absolutely stunning looking car for the money.
What the Sports Racer manages to do is give the Evora a proper wow factor. When we first stumbled upon it, sitting next to multiple standard Evoras, it had a limited-edition feel which we imagine will turn heads. If showing off is your thing, then the Sports Racer strikes us as a no-brainer.
Just a note on the showing off factor: the Evora S Sports Racer that we were test driving had an absolutely brilliant-sounding exhaust. It wasn't at quite the manic levels of something like a Ferrari 458, but switch the engine on and the grunt of over-rev you get lets you know it means business.
The Sports Racer will be going on sale in four colours: Aspen White, Carbon Grey, Nightfall Blue and Ardent Red. We only managed to lay eyes on the red version. The car will retail for £57,900 for a Evora Sports Racer and £65,900 for the Evora S Sports Racer.
Inside, Lotus has upped the quality of the Evora's interior even further. Some have qualms about the quality of the finishing, but you can't argue it doesn't look special. The Sports Racer includes 2+2 seating, so you can squeeze four into the car if you so desire, but good luck doing it.
You also get the two big boxes that need ticking on an Evora, namely the Sports Pack and Tech Pack. We particularly like the subtly etched Union Jack on the car's kick plates. It has to be the only tasteful use of the Union Jack we have ever seen and adds even more to that special feel the Sports Racer has.
The Sports Pack adds things like a sharper throttle response and more aggressive options for traction control as well as cross-drilled brake discs. We will talk about just how big a difference that makes in our full review of the Sports Racer soon.
As for the Tech Pack, this just makes the Evora a more liveable sports car than it already is. These are the upgrades that will make for an easily daily drivable Evora. As such it includes things like parking sensors, Bluetooth and a better Pioneer stereo with a touchscreen display.
As for ride and handling, if you have ever read anything about an Evora you will know just how good it is. Somehow Lotus has managed to produce a car that is as soft and delicate to sit in as a standard saloon, yet sticks to the road like glue with absolutely no loss in driving feel whatsoever. The Sports Racer drove as tight and connected as you would want from a sports car. Incidentally, those cross-drilled brakes - hit them hard enough and it feels like you've smashed through a brick wall.
There is so much more we can say about the Sports Racer's brilliance so check back at Pocket-lint soon when we will have a full review.

This article addresses the challenges of artwork on some of today's garments that are stretchy, thin, textured, or printed in difficult locations.
Popular sports now feature garments that are designed just for them. Apparel engineered for different motion-related needs and sport-specific qualities is becoming very popular with athletes and fans. Along with the rush of new garments comes the need for printers to ensure their methods of decoration can accommodate the new fabrics, seams, and other factors that can prove challenging.
For example, several sports use compression shirts as part of the uniform, or in training to help retain body heat, prevent abrasion, and help reduce muscular strains. The compression shirt is very flexible. The shirt's high Spandex content causes it to fit tightly on the body and makes decorating it a big challenge. Other popular garments use moisture-wicking fabrics that are woven from synthetic fibers and help allow airflow and moisture to pass through, yet retain body heat and comfort. These garments can also be touchy to decorate and sometimes sensitive to heat, so they require special care.
Another concern when personalizing performance-related garments is the cost of the item. Shirts that cost a lot more can be a little scary to print when the process produces a certain amount of scrap, so controlling the variables before production is essential to avoid any costly mistakes.
Avoiding scrap
One very effective way to avoid scrap and production issues on performance garments is to reverse-engineer the artwork so that it works with the best method of decoration for the garment. The results of changing the art to suit the garment and production method are worth the time it takes to educate your salespeople and clients.
Changing the artwork to fit the garment and decoration method requires that you establish guidelines. As with all artwork, there are many exceptions to guidelines, but having a starting point will make jobs that involve challenging surfaces far easier to decorate and will open the discussion for sales-to-client education on the best method of producing their apparel. The following is a list of some of the most common issues with performance garments and how you can modify the artwork.

Estonia's Rene Pais has been one of the championed names on Coldharbour Recordings throughout 2011. Following on from remixing Mr. Pit's iconic Shana for Coldharbour 100, he was part of the label's opening foray into the new year with the release of Second Chapter. Rene followed that up with work on Markus Schulz's Do You Dream Remixed CD, putting his take on the final track from that particular album, Goodbye.
However, it was his contribution to Markus' Prague '11 compilation which has lead to one of the most anticipated releases of the summer.
Featuring the vocals of Madelin Zero, Another Day has grown to become one of those memorable singalong moments presented through the Coldharbour label. With Markus' own Big Room Reconstruction being made available due to its extensive play on Global DJ Broadcast and A State of Sundays, it compliments the origin al and dub versions of Rene's work. A beautiful melodic journey and a sublime effort from Madelin are there for all to hear.
On remix duty for another day is one of the breakout producers of 2011. Hailing from Medellin in Colombia, KhoMha's productions and remixes have fuelled Markus' livesets all year round. Even though he received the remix only two hours before his special seven hour solo set at London's Ministry of Sound back in June, it didn't deter Markus from giving the sold out crowd an unexpected treat. It has gone on to become a big anthem in his livesets, with plays at Pacha in New York, Space in Miami, Ruby Skye in San Francisco and the Global Gatherings of Gdansk, Kiev and St. Petersburg to name a few.
Last but not least, Rene swings back into action with a beautiful instrumental effort which has also made its way into Markus' liveset rotation. Boasting that typical driving DNS Project bassline and lead we've become accustomed to, Redeemer provides a very strong supplement that will work perfectly in many studio and livesets.
Prepared specifically for the summer season, one of the big Coldharbour offerings in 2011 has landed.

Small Business Savvy
To assess how reasonable a dental plan's limits are, it can be useful to compare the UCR allowances across plans for a set of routine treatments such as a cleaning, a filling, a set of X-rays or a root canal.
dental insurance in Vacaville can also differ in terms of which dentists they are willing to reimburse. While you can always go to any dentist that you would like, you may not always get reimbursed for your treatments equally. Dental plans can either choose to accept all dentists or be more restrictive and limit reimbursement to certain dentists only. If your company is small enough, it can be a wise move to check the list of participating dentists for a given plan before agreeing to sign up.
Also, do not overlook the administrative requirements for maintaining the dental plan. Find out what flexibility you have in adding or terminating employees. Some dental plans are very restrictive and require the company to notify the plan immediately about any changes it would like to make. If this window is missed, you risk having an employee who cannot obtain coverage until the next open enrollment.
Alternatively, you may potentially waste money by having to pay for coverage for an employee who no longer works with your company if you do not report the termination in a timely fashion.
How much does dental insurance in Vacaville cost? Dental plan insurance rates can range from $5 to $100 a month, depending on whether you see the coverage as an individual or for a family and according to how generous the coverage is. (Rates will also be lower if your company has 50 or more employees so you can qualify for group discounts.) For a free quote for dental insurance, go to www.DentalPlans.com. While the temptation may be great, avoid making a decision based on cost alone. With the right plan in place, you and/or your employees can keep smiling.

Insurance Plans and Descriptions
your choice for dental insurance in Vacaville
When comparing plans, check premiums and benefits to predict your possible costs for the balance of the plan year. You only pay deductibles if you use benefits through the dental plan, and co-pays (Indemnity only) and out-of-pocket expenses.
Once enrolled, review all the materials that are sent to you so that you understand the terms and conditions before using the dental plan services. Should you have any issues at any time throughout the year, contact your carrier's member services department. They are there to serve you.
Considerations for enrolling in an Indemnity Dental Plan
An Indemnity plan pays established benefits when you seek covered services
from any licensed dental provider, not just from among those in a contracted
status with the carrier.
Considerations for enrolling in a Pre-selected Dentist Plan
These plans require you to select a dentist from a list of contracted
dentists. You must always use that dentist for your entire dental needs. You may
change your primary dentist during the plan year, by selecting another dentist
from the list and then notifying the dental plan's member services office. If
your selected dentist determines that you need to see a specialist, then the
services required will be covered as specified in the plan booklet.
Dental insurance is designed as a financial assistance for your dental needs. Insurance should not determine your dental care and treatment. For example, you may require 3-4 cleans per year to control tooth decay or gum disease. Insurance may pay for only two appointments. You will need to contribute financially to maintain optimum oral health. Be informed.

For materials specific to poetry, please see this post.
For my creative writing assignment, The Autobiography of a Place, please see this post.
And, on to some fun online resources...
First up, Letters About Literature... Letters About Literature pairs a love of reading with some creative writing, specifically creative writing in the form of a letter to an author. The program asks the student, or writer, to reflect on their reading history and what books or characters have had the biggest impact on them as readers. Then, the student writes a letter to the author (living or dead), and sends it to the organization (not to the author). The Letters About Literature program is actually a contest, and it looks like the winner gets a grant which is awarded to the library of their choice. The winners also have their letters published on the site.
My only gripe is that letters written to living authors don't get forwarded to those authors. So, if you want your letter going to the author, keep a copy and send it to the author or the book publisher for the author (most authors have websites these days with fan mail addresses, or "contact the author" type links...). However...some of the authors find out about the letters through various means, and sometimes write back!
Letters About Literature has a great lesson plan and teacher resources.
There have been loads of books written in the form of letters back and forth between a child and author, but my favorite is a classic:
My second resource for you is the Poe Museum teacher resource page. Of course, the Poe of this museum is the one and only Edgar Allan Poe! When I posted this resource on my personal Facebook page (please don't send me a friend request unless I know you already), one friend called Poe a genius, and another called him a lunatic mad-man. I think his stories and poems are a bit of both... To receive an Educator's Activity Packet, click here and fill out the form...the packet will be sent you via email (it was about a week before I got an email back).
I got all excited posting about Poe...I was going to suggest that you visit Edgar's Cafe if you are ever in New York City, but apparently the place has closed. :( Sigh...well, the sandwiches were only average, and the coffee not very good, but the desserts were well worth the visit! And, the interior decor was fantastic...inspired entirely by Edgar Allan Poe's writing. A photo from our one and only visit...
My third resource is This I Believe. If you listen to NPR, or certain other public radio stations, you may have heard some of the essays from This I Believe. The program began as a radio show in the 1950's, and was hosted by Edward R. Murrow. It has since morphed into a much larger program that includes radio broadcasts, online content, and more. This I Believe also has put together an educator's packet (four levels available) filled with step-by-step lesson plans. I used parts of the high school curriculum with a 9th grade creative writing class last year, and it was by far one of their favorite projects.
My fourth, and final resource today, is a website from textbook publisher Holt Rhinehart Winston. I found this while looking for creative writing resources, and reading passages, for 9th graders. The page includes reading selections from all genres, and from many time periods. Most reading selections also have associated lesson plans and writing assignment ideas.

With winter approaching, it�s time for me to stop working out, stop irradiating my skin and start getting into shape for sweater weather.
With winter approaching, it�s time for me to stop working out, stop irradiating my skin and start getting into shape for sweater weather.
I�m making progress. I already outgrew a shirt I wore to work the other day (it wouldn�t stay tucked in). To avoid the long, three-mile drive home and back just to change shirts, I stopped at a nearby thrift store, where like many journalists I do a good amount of my clothes shopping, to see if I could find a shirt that better fit my expanding physique.
My luck held; I found two shirts, and set about paying the token $2-per-shirt price when I noticed a distressed woman in line in front of me. The cashier said she�d ring me up first while the woman continued looking in her purse. When I finished paying, I asked if there was a problem.
The woman wanted to buy this, she said, gesturing at some object I did not recognize, and she couldn�t find her money.
How much is � that? I asked.
Two dollars, she said.
I had two dollars in my hand and handed it to the cashier. How much is the tax? I asked.
The relieved shopper said she had enough to pay the tax and thanked me.
I figured two dollars was the least I could do, considering what happened the day before.
I was driving home via U.S. 70 and got off at the Country Club Road exit. As I approached it, the traffic signal turned green and at that moment, my engine died. I had just enough momentum to clear the intersection, cross over the bridge, turn left onto Rhem Street, left into a church parking lot, left into a gas station and left again, stopping at a gas pump � a full third of a mile of coasting with a dead engine.
I was thankful not only that I had enough momentum to get me to the gas station, but that I had enough money to fill my gas tank and that an empty gas tank was the only problem with my car.
Even a day later, I was still looking for a way to pay forward what God, fate, luck or whatever you believe in gave me: enough energy to overcome gravity just long enough to fill my tank.
I was thinking back to when I was driving my VW Passat when a dire warning appeared on my dash board: Stop the Car, it said. That one cost me more than $3,000 and a tow truck ride. It was the final straw with that car.
That was during a bad time in my life, marked by a string of bad luck, some of which I have written about in the past. The best thing that came out of that time was a strong appreciation for when things go right, like when my family has a meal together, when we pay the utility bill on time, that I have a job and many, many other things.
For the woman who was in line in front of me at the thrift store the other day, I hope you enjoy your item. All I ask in return is that you provide a random favor to a stranger.
Thanks for letting me take up some of your Sunday morning.

Six Nations
Farrell still haunted by defeat
ESPN Staff
March 22, 2013

Fly-half Owen Farrell admits he is still haunted by England's Six Nations decider defeat to Wales at the Millennium Stadium last weekend.
The 21-year-old wasted no time in confronting the agonising defeat in Cardiff, watching a rerun of the match which denied England a first Grand Slam since 2003 as soon as he returned home.
But while he insists his focus is now squarely on Saracens' crucial Aviva Premiership clash against Harlequins this Sunday, the Sarries playmaker admits he is still grabbed by moments of regret from last weekend.
"When I got back home I watched it straight away," he told Sportsmail. "I wanted to get it out of the way and learn from it. Every game is an opportunity to make yourself a better player by watching it back and seeing what you did right and wrong. It was no different with that game, even though it was gutting to watch. I've looked back at it and tried to take what I can from it but you have to move on and get ready for what's ahead of you.
"It's weird -- I was gutted after the game and I was drained from it too. You just get away from it and start thinking about the next weekend and the next game, then every now and again it just kind of catches you and you feel gutted again. But I'm fine now."
Farrell continued: "We really wanted to finish it off but the experience of playing there in a decider will help. It's got to be good for us to experience that because, hopefully, we're going to be in that situation plenty more times.
"We're definitely going in the right direction. We're ten times the side we were last year. Before the France game, I watched a re-run of our game in Paris last year and the amount we had moved on was unbelievable."
