Sadly not going anywhere but if anyone is coming through, or from, Melbourne, would love to meet for a drink and a chat.

Melbourne here!
I'm from Brisbane, although I'm heading overseas in February..
I live in Melbourne, interested in a chat or meet up maybe.
Hi im From Sydney, anyone want to chat with me, just pm me always looking for new friends, Cheers.
I've just sent out a message to the people saying they're in Melbourne.
I'd be happy to organise a meetup! I've been involved in online-forum-meet-ups before, and they've worked spectacularly! (Not being immodest - everyone who comes is to thank for their success!)
i didn't receive a message!
why are you excluding me from your gang VL? is it because i dance like an iced-up single mother? is it?
Well, of course JUB's "golden boy" _AJ_ gets an invite..
Oh well, me and Kester are gonna have our own shindig, there'll be strippers and cocktails and midgets on stilts and a light-show and post-rehab britney and john so and none of you are invited
I'm from the Gold Coast - hi all!!
18 in sydney here - hi
Argh - I missed some people ... I am REALLY sorry about that.
To let everyone know ... So far, there's about six people who've expressed interest, including myself, for a Melbourne Meetup.
And as it seems, everyone's only free on weekends, so it looks like it'll be a Saturday afternoon! As for dates, it looks like it's going to be a couple of weeks - perhaps the weekend after easter? How does that work for everyone?
PS: What's wrong with dancing like an iced up single mother? You've clearly never seen me dance :P
It can be any weekend for me, like this weekend.

i'm a perth boy
hey hungbuzz, I'm from Perth as well, if you wanna get to know me or something pm me.
I'm in Melbourne
Well then - you'll have to come along to the next meetup, wont you, Tomahawk?
Melbourne Meetup was a decent success!
So, for round two!
This thread really has a variety of replies in it. Although I understand many people in this thread are trying to organize a true meet up, let me again clarify the purpose of the Meet Ups Forum.
In Meet Ups all are welcome. So you're looking to chat with men of any particular age range (must be 18+ of course), you're in the wrong forum.
Meet Ups is a place where both boys and girls of JUB can get together at a designated time and place and enjoy a social get together. There are two other forums - Steamy Encounters and Looking for Friends if you're looking to chat with other gay men and not a large public type of meeting.
Also as just a reminder, please do not post your email addresses in posts!
Thanks so much!
I'll be in AU from Feb 21-Aug 20, so depending on the date and the place I may be able to come. But it's a big country and I don't know where I'll be or when I'll be there.

Story highlights
- Errol Louis: In interview NY Mayor Bloomberg called de Blasio's campaign "racist"
- His comment that de Blasio using mixed-race family in campaign backfired, Louis says
- He says de Blasio campaigns to upend many Bloomberg policies, mayor likely chafing at this
- Louis: If de Blasio wins primary, it will signal Bloomberg's 12-year tenure truly coming to close
New York City has seen a jarring last-minute twist in the race for mayor, in which the current mayor, Michael Bloomberg, may have given a crucial boost to the person he would probably least like to see succeed him in City Hall.
Bill de Blasio, who surged into the lead among the Democrats running for mayor, has been campaigning for months as a progressive bent on governing in a way that alters or reverses many of Bloomberg's cherished policies -- starting with de Blasio's proposal to raise taxes on households earning $500,000 or more per year. De Blasio, who is married to a black woman, has also made a series of campaign ads that include his biracial teenage children.
Bloomberg, in a magazine interview, dismissed de Blasio's campaign as "class warfare and racist."
Asked to explain the inflammatory charge, Bloomberg said de Blasio is "making an appeal using his family to gain support. I think it's pretty obvious to anyone watching what he's been doing. I do not think he himself is racist. It's comparable to me pointing out I'm Jewish in attracting the Jewish vote."
The comment is, on its face, questionable. Click here and look at the videos for yourself. If de Blasio is using his telegenic family to good effect, it's no different from what candidates have been doing for centuries.
If the comment was intended to halt de Blasio's momentum, it surely failed -- and appears to have backfired -- with the most relevant audience, the active Democratic base likely to turn out on primary day. In fact, within hours of publication of the mayor's remarks, de Blasio was using the dust-up as part of a fund-raising appeal to supporters.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo sided with de Blasio as well. "The comments that were reported clearly are out of line and have no place in our political discourse," Cuomo told reporters. "There's plenty of substantive issues to be discussing without raising unnecessary and inflammatory topics."
The dust-up is more than just an ill-timed misstatement by Bloomberg. It may also illustrate his frustration and impatience after months of bashing by the Democratic mayoral candidates.
A self-made billionaire who is the wealthiest person in New York, Bloomberg does not suffer fools gladly. "Hizzoner has a few choice words for you if he doesn't like your policy idea, but his words of choice are usually variations of dumb and stupid," the Daily News noted earlier this year.
"Mayor Bloomberg has the unlovely habit of hearing all sides of a question -- for about 60 seconds, when he trots out his personal thought-stopper: 'Let's get serious,'" columnist Richard Brookhiser noted in 2005. "This means that he is serious, you are not. He is smart, you are dumb. He has billions, you do not."
Keep in mind that this bracing assessment by Brookhiser comes from a nationally known conservative who was explaining why he intended to vote for Bloomberg. This is not a warm and cuddly mayor. But New Yorkers are looking for someone who is more empathetic: In a recent poll, 65% of New Yorkers said they want the city to move in a different direction. And a comparable percentage said that an endorsement from Bloomberg would have no effect or make them less likely to support a candidate.
In addition to swallowing that tough reality, Bloomberg has recently encountered setbacks that foreshadow the dropping of the final curtain on his administration at the end of the year.
Over Bloomberg's strenuous objections, federal courts have appointed monitors to oversee hiring in the city's fire department (which is currently 3.4% black) and to reduce and restructure the police department's use of stop-and-frisk tactics. The normally toothless City Council overrode two Bloomberg vetoes to create an NYPD inspector general and to make it easier for citizens to sue if they think the police have illegally profiled them.
De Blasio championed virtually all of the lawsuits and legislation that led to additional oversight of Bloomberg's agencies, and specifically campaigned on his opposition to Bloomberg. And de Blasio's call to tax the city's wealthy -- with the proceeds used to pay for pre-kindergarten and afterschool programs for children -- is anathema to the mayor, who called the plan "about as dumb a policy as anyone could think of."
That sort of dismissive comment means one thing coming from a billionaire at the helm of city government. But if, as expected, de Blasio finishes first in the Democratic primary on Tuesday, it will signal something else entirely: the tolling of the bell making clear that the 12-year reign of Michael Bloomberg is, unmistakably, coming to a close.

Changsha (长沙; Chángshā) is the capital of Hunan Province.
Changsha's claim to fame is that during World War II, it was the first major city that was successful defended by the Chinese from the Japanese invasion. The XiangJiang river runs through Changsha.
Get in
By air
Huanghua International Airport is the major airport for those seeking to visit Changsha. A 45 minutes drive on the expressway will take you to the city center. Airport buses operate from 06:00 to 22:00 from downtown Changsha to the airport and costs 16.5RMB. The bus leaves from the CAAC Aviation Hotel on Wuyi Dadao (五一大道) a block west of the central train station.
Traveling from the airport, will allow for some window-viewing of the relatively wealthy countryside surrounding the city. Although annual floods do sizable property damage, the overflowing of the rivers help irrigate the evergreen and enormous rice paddies.
By train
Changsha Railway Station is in the heart of the city. There are direct train connections from many cities in China or indirect ones using a connecting train. From Beijing it is about 14 hours.
Changsha South Station (of the Wuhan-Guangzhou High Speed Rail) is located south-east of the downtown, about 25-30 minutes from the city core. From Guangzhou South it is about 2.5 hours on the high speed train, or a minimum of 8 hours on the much cheaper normal trains (a little over one quarter of the price) .
Trolleys with the usual Chinese array of instant noodles, dried vegetables and packed fruit are noteable for their regularity, but for something slightly more fulfilling (and expensive), hop down to the restaurant car.
Get around
Ubiquitous taxicabs flood the city streets, willing to transport you just up the street or to the other side of town, the meters start at ¥6.
If you want to spend like a native or just want to experience the sensation of being sandwiched between natives, then hop on a bus for ¥2 and feel the thrill of speeding down the bumpy roads with barely any breathing room.
When eating in Changsha there is nothing better than a plate of stinky tofu (chou dofu) or soo-yo-bing bought right off the street. If you have just arrived, be wary of eating from street vendors. Although the inviting aroma of food cooking may be too tempting to resist, you better have a strong stomach if you do not want to get an upset one.
Food in Changsha is famously described as "xiang cai". As Xiang Jiang is the major river that borders the city to the west, Xiang denotes not only the flavor and taste of the food but also of the land. Changsha, like Szechuan is known for spicy food, but without the additional "ma", numbing affect of certain spices and pepper. In summer, oversized metal mixing bowls filled with crawfish seasoned with plenty of chili and spices, take the stage atop countless tabletops. Restaurants get so busy and overcrowded that tables, chairs along with diners spill into the busy streets and the parade of tantalizing dishes endlessly leave the kitchen to appear on the tables of hungry diners.
For international cuisine, four and five star restaurants have reputable chefs although for a visitor, the inifite array of dishes native to or with a Hunan flair are sure to please even the most discriminating palate.
Head straight to Snake Alley for the best "point-and-eat" in the city for merely pennies (US$ of course).
Jiefang West Road (解放西路; Jiefangxilu) - there are a few Chinese clubs along this road, including SoHo, the ubiqiutous Chinese chain. Drinks tend to be expensive, the music loud, and clubs crowded. It's just off the main walking street so it's in quite a handy location.
Taiping Street (太平街; Taipingjie) - this newly refurbished area, with traditional/tacky facades has a few smaller bars, some with live music. It's just off Jiefang West Road towards the river. Addition: This is a touristy shopping street and many prices are on par with the West. Bargaining is impossible here. Even those who speak little English know how to say "No Bargains". I would only shop here if really pushed for time AND have extra money, although the shops are worth seeing to get an idea of what is available. Bargain extra hard here if you can...
Since this was written, a karaoke night club has opened on the floor(s) under the hotel, so the sound of terrible singing is likely to come up through the floor all day and all night until 7 am. I hope you are a sound sleeper.
Get out
HuangHua Airport has flights to several other domestic cities, as well as Hong Kong. Changsha Train Station has trains to several places in China.

When Even Pop Boy Bands Don't Need Record Labels...
from the ...-the-record-labels-are-in-trouble dept
Either way, the key sentence in the article explaining why the band split from the label:
The band felt that their old label wasn't embracing those changes and are keen to experiment with new ways of getting music to fans. Tom said: "There's not a set way of doing things anymore. Now, especially with stuff like downloads, or giving music away, there's so many options for what you can do."If that's not an indication of a record label shooting itself in the foot, it's hard to see what is. This is the type of band that could use a big label's help in distributing the music in the most effective manner, and the label is refusing to help. No wonder the record labels are struggling. In this case, by the way, the label was Island, a subsidiary of Universal Music, which has been one of the most proudly thick headed labels in trying to understand the new digital landscape.

New Zealand's 'Next Top Monarch' backs wool
Press Release – Federated Farmers
His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, has used his wool suit to show what a big future wool has. At wool's 'Shear Brilliance' yesterday, HRH inspired New Zealand farmers by showing exceptional knowledge of our farm systems.13 November 2012
New Zealand's 'Next Top Monarch' backs wool
His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, has used his wool suit to show what a big future wool has. At wool's 'Shear Brilliance' yesterday, HRH inspired New Zealand farmers by showing exceptional knowledge of our farm systems.
"Along with President Bruce Wills, we spent much of yesterday in high level wool meetings with Minister David Carter and industry leaders," says Jeanette Maxwell, Federated Farmers Meat & Fibre chairperson.
"The star turn in Auckland was HRH. He spent well over an hour at The Cloud looking through 'Shear Brilliance' wool exhibits. He showed a real passion for wool and an on-going commitment to the global Campaign for Wool. All music to my ears.
"Proving HRH practices what he preaches, he showed his high regard for New Zealand farmers by proudly telling guests about his suit made from "beautiful New Zealand wool".
"Wool matters to Federated Farmers because it is central to the future of our sheep industry.
"While wool is massively underperforming, I believe its export potential is in the billions of dollars and not the hundreds of millions it currently is.
"That is why the global Campaign for Wool and HRH's patronage is central to wooing consumers back to wool. The innumerable health, safety and natural benefits of wool are real but underleveraged.
"Not to mention that wool is renewable and sustainable unlike oil-based materials.
"Perhaps it is now time for Federated Farmers to step up. This is something we do rarely and only when something breaks down. Wool is arguably at that point right now, given it was drifting even before the wool levy was lost.
"By becoming more involved, Federated Farmers could help drive unity from the grower up. That came through loud and clear during the Wool Unity group meeting yesterday, with HRH and Minister Carter.
"The status quo is not an option so Wools of New Zealand could be an opportunity for strong wool growers to invest in our future. Federated Farmers strongly encourages all of our members to get to a meeting to learn more.
"I attended a Wools of New Zealand meeting last Friday and know that on his return to Napier last evening, President Bruce Wills attended one as well.
"Given HRH The Prince of Wales knows wool and knows New Zealand farming, there is an expectation on us to show global leadership. Yesterday was inspiring and is why I believe Prince Charles is New Zealand's 'next top monarch'," Mrs Maxwell concluded.

Joseph Leader, senior vice president for the Department of Subways, said, "Our FASTRACK efforts have been highly successful in repairing and maintaining a subway system that provides a safer work environment for employees and improves train service reliability for our customers."
During our previous FASTRACK along this corridor in March 2014, NYCT repair and maintenance crews completed many tasks along this 7.3-mile long segment of the N, Q and R lines.
Workers tested 40 signals and 12 switches and installed 20 track rails, 658 track plates, 117 tie blocks and 85 friction pads. Infrastructure workers repaired/replaced 205 feet of handrail, repaired 99 leaks, cleaned 800 feet of drain line and replaced 1,030 light bulbs. Workers also painted, repaired 960 feet of rubbing board and replaced 16 platform signs.
FASTRACK was introduced in January 2012, devoting four straight weeknights to perform maintenance work in tunnels, stations and on tracks, completely suspending service within a given line segment for a seven-hour period, allowing an army of maintenance workers to perform dozens of tasks.
NYCT's next FASTRACK overnight closure will be on the F line between B'way-Lafayette St. and York St. beginning June 9 and ending June 13.

Submission + - Fungi Discovered In The Amazon Will Eat Your Plastic
DaneM writes: Recently, a group of student researchers from Yale University brought home a previously-undiscovered fungus that has a voracious appetite for polyurethane. For those not aware, polyurethane comprises many garden hoses, truck seats, shoes, and other durable plastic items--and will be around for your great-grandchildren to watch decompose if you throw it in the dump today. Depending on further study, this new organism may prove to be a solution to a significant part of our slow-decomposing waste problem.

Teach Ag Day Focuses on Need for Agricultural EducatorsBy Teachers.Net News Desk
On March 24th, National Teach Ag Day, agriculture teachers all over the U.S. will be introducing students to an exciting and demanding career – their own.
Currently, agricultural educators are in short supply all over the United States, with not enough agricultural education graduates being produced each year to fill job openings. Agricultural educators prepare students to fill jobs in one of the only major sectors of the U.S. economy that grew in 2010. Last year, agriculture exports increased by 11.9 percent to $107.5 billion dollars. USDA studies show that every billion dollars in agricultural exports supports more than 8,000 jobs.i
National Teach Ag Day, set for March 24, 2011, is a day to celebrate the contributions agricultural educators make in their communities and in the lives of their students, and is also a way to encourage young people to consider a career in agricultural education.
"School-based agriculture programs are too important to lose, especially in the current economic climate," said Jay Jackman, Executive Director of the National Association of Agricultural Educators (NAAE), the organization that facilitates National Teach Ag Day.
"A lack of agricultural educators means we're cutting off the supply of employees to the agriculture industry at the wellhead," said Jackman. "If there's no one there to prepare students for these careers, then one of the industries that has been a corner post of American success will begin to weaken."
Agriculture programs teach the science and production of food, feed, and fiber, as well as subjects like natural resources and veterinary science. Students in agriculture programs learn a wide variety of skills and concepts through these subjects, including science, math, communications, leadership, management and technology.
Agricultural education follows a unique model – lessons are delivered in a hands-on way that helps students more fully understand concepts, retain learned information, and apply material to real world situations. Agricultural education also includes a strong leadership component that helps develop students' sense of responsibility and civic service.
Teaching agriculture can be a smart and fulfilling career choice for students from a variety of backgrounds. Many agriculture programs are strengthening the rigor of their already science- and math-rich courses to meet the needs of an increasingly technology-driven agriculture industry. Agriculture programs are teaching students concepts that will not only allow them to produce food on an unmatched scale, but also become chemists, geneticists or engineers.
Expansion into urban areas is also a current agricultural education trend, leading to even more employment opportunities for agriculture teachers. There are currently many agriculture programs in large urban centers, and the opportunity to open more is growing.
Kimberly Fogle is a CTE Agricultural Science Teacher at W.E.B. Dubois High School in Baltimore, Md. This is the first year for the agriculture program at her school.
"My students are 100 percent urban," she said. "They like this class because it's hands on and they like the interaction with animals and plants they get. It doesn't take them long to see that through our program they can become a scientist or biologist or another professional in addition to farming. Our administrators were very supportive in getting an agriculture program at the school. They feel like students need hands-on activities, community involvement, and leadership skills. This class brings that out. It also helps give them focus in other classes. They know they have to stay out of that fight or get good grades in everything if they want to run for FFA president, for instance. It gives them a goal to work toward."
"Agricultural education is one of the best-kept secrets in education right now," said Jackman. "We need to let the secret out of the bag and show people what great opportunities exist in a career as an agricultural educator. That's what National Teach Ag Day is all about."
National Teach Ag Day is a component of the National Teach Ag Campaign, an initiative of the National Council for Agricultural Education, led by the National Association of Agricultural Educators. The campaign is sponsored by Landmark Nurseries and the CHS Foundation as a special project of the National FFA Foundation, and also by Delmar Cengage Learning. For more about Teach Ag Day and the National Teach Ag campaign, visit www.naae.org/teachag.
About NAAE
The National Association of Agricultural Educators is a federation of state agricultural educators associations with more than 7650 members. NAAE seeks to advance agricultural education and promote the professional interest and growth of agriculture teachers as well as recruit and prepare students who have a desire to teach agriculture.

Huskers See Heartbreak Against Wildcats
Lincoln, Neb. - The Nebraska men's tennis team (11-11, 3-5 Big Ten) suffered a 5-2 loss to the Northwestern Wildcats (16-9, 4-4 Big Ten) on Friday at the NU Vine Street Courts. The Huskers challenged the Wildcats early in doubles, earning the point in three matches, but tripped up in singles to drop their senior day match.
In doubles, Nebraska's Dusty Boyer and Marc Herrmann rolled past Northwestern's Konrad Zieba and Sam Shropshire 8-2 at the No. 2 position while the Wildcats' Fedor Baev and Strong Kirchheimer ousted the Huskers' Tom Blackwell and Scott Elsass 8-6 at the No. 3 spot. The point was decided at the No. 1 court where the Big Red's Brandon Videtich and Bradford Zitsch grabbed a victory over Northwestern's No. 23-ranked Raleigh Smith and Mihir Kumar 8-6.
In singles, Northwestern's No. 125-ranked Shropshire toppled Nebraska's Herrmann 6-4, 6-1 at the No. 2 court while fellow Wildcat Alex Pasareanu defeated the Huskers' Videtich at the No. 6 by a score of 6-2, 6-4. The Wildcats' Strong Kirchheimer edged past the Big Red's Vasileios Stavropoulos 6-3, 7-6 (7-5) at the No. 5 to put Northwestern ahead 3-1 in singles.
The match was decided at the No. 1 court where Northwestern's No. 54-ranked Smith knocked off Nebraska's Boyer 6-3, 7-5 to get the team victory. In the two remaining matches, the Huskers earned a point at the No. 3 spot when senior Blackwell took his opponent, the Wildcats' Zieba, three sets and earned the 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 win. The final match at the No. 4 court ended in a victory for Northwestern's Kumar over Nebraska's Andrew Dzulynsky 6-3, 6-7 (11-13), 1-0 (10-6).
The Huskers face the Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks on Friday as well at 7 p.m. in the Nebraska Tennis Center before hosting Illinois on Sunday at noon at the Vine Street Courts, but scheduled to be relocated to the NTC pending inclement weather.

Yeah I guess how much the watch costs has nothing to do with it but I still think it's ridiculously extravagant but he can spend his money however he wants. But I don't like or respect the man and I still think he should do something nicer to recognize the woman giving the watch back. I mean she could've kept it after all.Ed.
But the paper, and the transit authority, treated this bus driver like a big hero. My reaction was, yes, he handled it perfectly, but...didn't he kind of do what should be expected, espeically for someone whose job is to assist people who have special needs? Is returning something valuable (especially when it's easy to figure out who it belonged to) somehow going "above and beyond?" Did they believe most people would have kept the money?
I heard an update that the fan has been identified and was happy to be given some free concert tickets because she didn't expect anything. Now that's class. It's nice to hear about people like that.I agree that Chris Brown, himself, probably had a million thoughts in his head as he came off the stage. He had just performed in front of thousands of people, and been broadcast to millions. He had done an aerial stunt. I can see why his thinking may not have been focused on where that watch landed and that he ought to thank the person who got it back to security. I think it was his handlers, who are paid to manage his public persona, who realized they had missed an opportunity to make Chris look good to the public by having thanked the fan.Any way, I really hope they did find the right person, and again, I salute her.Of course, now Chris Brown is back in the news for posting a video on his Twitter account of himself "car surfing," which is hanging on to the roof of a car as it drives down a road. Fabulous.

how to get the guy you want
Ive been with my boyfriend for 6 months now and we love each other very much. In the beginning of the school year him and i had biology class together. he was a seinor and i was a sophomore. we never even thought about being with each other ever in the beginning. i didnt even know who he was. he never even crossed my mind at all. but then, we were lab partners and everything changed. i started to get to know him more and thought he was a pretty cool guy. so we sooner or later became good friends. we both hated biology class but we would love going to it only because him and i were always goofing off and laughing and pretty much never listening and pissing the teacher off badly.. we pretty much enjoyed spending time together in that class. our teacher always called it "flirting" when we would horse around which it basically was.. we just clicked so fast.. it seemed like we known each other for ever but only for one school year.. but we were only friends then and i'll tell you why we were only friends. he had a girlfriend that he was dating for almost 2 years. i thought i could never compete with that because people around the school would say that "they would always talk about getting married and stuff" so thats pretty much the reason why i never asked to hang out because if it wasnt for that i prolly would be hanging out with him all the time.. he was one of the coolest guys ive ever met. but i respected that he had a girlfriend. i would get a little jealous at time when i see them in the halls together holding hands. but every time i saw him in the halls we would make eye contact like we know that we both have something for each other. but im the kind of girl that likes to keep it cool. i dont like to make things obvious to his girlfriend that i like him. so throughout alittle over half of the school year him and i finally thought heck of it. why not hang out for just once. well we did. as friends of course. we smoked a bowl in the car while waiting for his friend to get out of work to hang out. i had the best time with him the first day i hung out with him. even thought we had nothing to do we were happy because we finally got to hang out outside of biology class. but here comes the good part. his friend who we were waiting for, just so happens that his little sister was driving behind him and i with his girlfriend in the car. so his girlfriend was pissed off at him because she found out that i was in the car with him. it was a horrible situation. i guesse after that there were two snow days and i didnt get to see him untill two days later at school. lol i asked him what happend with him and his girlfriend and that i wasnt trying to like invade their relationship. he said it was okay and that she freaked out and told him that she didnt want him to ever hang out with me again. so i thought to my mind wow i guesse thats it. he's going to be graduating this year and so i pretty much will never get to hangout with him. but nope thats not what happend we hung out a week later after that on a friday. i lied to my mom saying that i was at my friends grandparents house hanging out when really i was with him. i thought it was alright for me to hang out with him because he seemed certain. but his girlfriend didnt know that i was hanging out with him the whole night. but the one thing i give him credit for is him not cheating on his girlfriend on me. he never told me that he liked me or anything. we both just kinda knew that we liked each other. its hard to explain. but yeah him not cheating on her with me just made me like him even more. that made me feel like he is a good guy and good boyfriend. but after that night i came home in trouble with my parents because they found out that i really wasnt with my friend but with a boy smoking pot. i was pretty much grounded for three weeks couldnt see him the whole winter break and i tried to sneak the phone to call him and finally did for a few minutes and i found out that he broke up with his girlfriend because she found out that i was there that night with him. we didnt even start going out till a week after that episode. i skipped school with him twice because i couldnt go anywhere because i was grounded so the only time we could ever really hang out was to skip. and people at school were talking. it was pretty insane. his girlfriend tried her hardest to make him jealous by talking to other guys but he was too busy talking to me he didnt even care. we were pretty much stuck on each other. i felt bad for his ex girlfriend but in the long run he is much more happy and so am i. now that we've been with each other for 6 months good times go on and we both talk about how much we appreciate each other. the real advice is... when you like a guy and they have a girlfriend. dont try to piss off the girlfriend too fast in the beginning.. give it time and be yourself and eye contact in the halls is also a good key to draw attetion. comunacate by facial expressions like a little smile across the class room when he looks at you. or look at him and when he catches you looking at him fastly look down. so that he knows that you have a thing for him. it works. when you like someone and they have a girlfriend just dont be a whore.. be yourself and let him like you and make sure you know by flirting but in a "friend like manner"

On Saturday night after the Anaheim opener, longtime Yoshimura Suzuki mechanic Lee McCollumn, who has spun wrenches for the likes of Tim Ferry, Larry Ward, Travis Pastrana and now James Stewart, said simply, "We always have bad luck here."
The man lived it, and he knows what he's talking about. Even though Suzuki has employed plenty of high-powered riders through the years and scored race wins and titles, the team has always had a tough time at the Anaheim opener. In fact, they've only one it one time, ever.
Maybe it's a jinx or a curse, because Team Suzuki's lone A1 win came the very first time Anaheim hosted the opener, in 1981. Since then they've had one win at a season opener that didn't take place at Angel Stadium, and zero wins when the Big A started the season.
Of course, the factory team's troubles reflect even brighter considering a different Suzuki bike and team—Rockstar Energy Racing—scored the win on Saturday.
For more on this, we dug into the Race X Vault, and used a feature you might not realize is there. You can actually search results by bike brand, and find out every rider that ever competed in any AMA Supercross or National Motocross on that bike. You can search for Suzukis, BSAs, Greeves, Cannondales, whatever you'd like. Check it out here. And now, a little history for RMs at Rnd1s.
1976 Daytona Supercross
You know Supercross is in its infancy when the opener takes place in Daytona, on the same March weekend it does now. So the racing calendar has expanded forward two whole months since then.
It wasn't Anaheim, but at least Team Suzuki can say it grabbed an opening-round win courtesy of Tony Distefano. Tony D topped would-be '76 Champ Jammin' Jimmy Weinert.Results from Daytona 1976
1981 Anaheim Supercross
Yeah! This is how you get it started! This is the first time Anaheim serves as the season opener, and Team Suzuki not only wins it with Rhinestone Cowboy Kent Howerton, but teammate Mark "The Bomber" Barnett finishes right behind him. Barnett goes to win the supercross title, and he and Howerton claim the 125 and 250 National Motocross Championships. It's raining yellow!
Kent Howerton won the first-ever A1 in 1981. Since then, no such success for the brand. Until now!
MotoVerte photo
1983 Anaheim Supercross
Barnett starts the year with a tenth at Anaheim, while Honda's David Bailey takes the win. It was a somewhat controversial race as the track designers added in a sloppy mud pit the guys had to blast through. And it was pretty deep! There's a 14-point difference between where Bailey finishes and where Barnett finishes at Anaheim. And guess what? Bailey wins the 1983 AMA Supercross Championship over Barnett by two points.
One year, Ezra Lusk was the highest-finishing Suzuki rider at the opening round. And he finished 16th!
MotoVerte photo
1985 San Diego Supercross
San Diego opens the '85 series (Anaheim is round two) but much of Suzuki's mojo is gone by this season. At this point, Suzuki's past hero Barnett had gone green so it was Scott Burnworth and Erik Kehoe taking 6th and 10th for the brand, while defending SX Champion Johnny O'Mara kicks off the year with a win. On a Honda. Can you imagine O'Show on a Suzuki?
1989 Anaheim Supercross
Oh, this one hurts. O'Mara switched to Suzuki in 1987, but struggled with the bike and injuries for two seasons. But on an all-new RM250 for 1989, the O'Show was back! At Anaheim, he took off with the early lead and pulled away, an upset victory seemingly in hand....until he cased a double and snapped the steering stem on his bike. DNF. Rick Johnson cruises past for the win, and later says, "His Suzuki broke and my Honda didn't, so my Honda won the race for me." Ouch.Results from Anaheim 1989
1995 Orlando Supercross
Suzuki is sick of it! They bring Roger DeCoster back into the fold for this season, and also import 250 World Champion Greg Albertyn to the team. Ezra Lusk, the 1994 125 East Champion, is now on a RM250. And? Albee crashes out and busts his shoulder, and Lusk is the highest-finishing Suzuki rider. In 16th.
1997 Los Angeles Supercross
Too often, Travis Pastrana's 250 title hopes were over before the season even started.
MotoVerte photo
Sweet, sweet victory. Or, is that bittersweet? After two years of crashes and crashes and crashes, Albee gets the supercross thing figured out and wins the opening round for Team Suzuki at the L.A. Coliseum! Awesome! But, also, Suzuki now has defending SX Champion Jeremy McGrath in the fold after a late defection from Honda. MC gets knocked down by his old teammate Steve Lamson, and finishes 15th. That would prove quite costly in the championship chase.
1999 Anaheim Supercross
Anaheim is finally back as the season-opener. And Suzuki's bad luck is back, too. This one is particularly harsh, with the factory squad of Albertyn, Larry Ward and Robbie Reynard finishing 16th, 18th and 19th. What's crazy is, just a few weeks later Ward would win the Seattle race, and later in the year Albee would win the 250 Motocross Championship. So the bikes and riders were definitely capable, just not at round one.Results from Anaheim 1999
2002 Anaheim Supercross
The Kevin Windham/Travis Pastrana superteam generates finishes of eighth and 19th, respectively. Pastrana always had trouble with inconsistency, but his luck at season openers was exceptionally bad.
No No.1s for RC4 at A1.
Cudby photo
2004 Anaheim Supercross
When Tyler Evans is the man delivering your brand's best finish—on a privateer effort—that's not so good. But Evans finish, sixth, is actually pretty good, so there's that.
2005/2006/2007 Anaheim Supercross
Ricky Carmichael is on Team Suzuki! Also, Ricky Carmichael is also the most succesful rider to ever not win an Anaheim 1. Never won it. Here are the results from his three tries as a Suzuki rider.
2009 Anaheim Supercross
Now Chad Reed is on the team, but this bid for the win ends in the collision-heard-round-the-world with Stewart.
Since then, Ryan Dungey pulled off a pair of seconds at Anaheim 1 in 2010 and 2011, but overall, since that Anaheim win in 1981, Suzuki had generated just one other opening-night victory in 30-plus years. Until that Rockstar Energy Racing bike a few days ago, that is!
Reed was in contention for an A1 win in 2009, but ended up third after a collision you've probably heard about.

Recently purchased a Culligan Compatable Sediment Prefilter, Carbon Block Prefilter, and Membrane TFM-18A. Installation was smooth and easy, however my water now has an aftertaste (which hasn't dissapated in 24 hours) and has a white "haze" to it, almost like little "floaties". I haven't replaced the inline carbon postfilter (was going to do that at a later time) but i don't think it is the culprit.
I waited two hours per the membrane instructions before emptying the tank and have emptied it about 5 times in the past 24 hrs - floaties are still there.
Any help would be appreciated.

One of the hardest and most important choices working parents can make is deciding who will care for their children while they're at work. BBB advises parents to take plenty of time to find safe, reliable child care that suits their children and schedules.
"Recommendations from family or friends can be helpful, however, it is still important for parents to take their research further", said Mechele Agbayani Mills, President and CEO of BBB Serving Central East Texas." It's important for working parents to know that their children are safe and secure so they can give their full attention to their jobs."
It's a good idea for parents to take the time to visit facilities, ask about the staff's training and experience, and find out how the center handles medical emergencies. Children may be spending a large part of their waking hours in a day care setting, so it's important to find out what kinds of education or stimulation may be offered to help your child develop in the best manner possible.
BBB provides the following tips for parents seeking quality child care:
Visit several facilities or caregivers. Find out how staff is selected and what their credentials are. What is the staff-to-child ratio? How are children grouped, such as by age or stage of development?
Do your homework. Make sure the facility is licensed by the state or local community and whether it carries appropriate liability insurance. Check out the company's track record at www.bbb.org.
Ask about safety procedures and how an accident might be handled. What will happen if your child is hurt or becomes ill while at the center? Will you be called or notified before you arrive to pick up your child?
Ask about fees and payment deadlines. Is a deposit required, and is it refundable? Are fees charged if a parent is late picking up a child? Are there extra charges for any activities? Are meals and transportation offered? Is financial assistance available?
Inquire about the balance between structured and unstructured activities. What is the naptime procedure? How are babies put down for naps, and how often are they checked when sleeping? What happens if your child can't go to sleep?
Make sure the center or day care home is clean, with enough space for children to play and adequate safety equipment.
Call at least three parents whose children are enrolled in the program to discuss their experiences.
Ask if your child can spend part of the day in the day care center or home before you enroll. Discuss the experience with the caregiver or center personnel.
Be alert to your child's reaction and behavior. Allow plenty of time for adjustment, especially in the first day or first week at the center. Call or visit the facility once your child is enrolled to find out how the child is doing and to establish rapport with the staff.
For more tips on how to be a savvy consumer, go to www.bbb.org. To report a fraud or scam, call the BBB Hotline: (903) 581-8373.

It's time once again to vote for the 3 candidates we feel will best represent the SQL Server community with a 2 year term on the PASS Board of Directors. Voting is open until Oct. 11 and if you were a PASS member prior to June 1, 2012 you should have received an email with your personalized ballot URL by now. (If you haven't, you might want to check your spam folder and\or contact Michelle Nalliah at PASS).
I ran for the Board last year and wasn't elected but was offered a one year appointment as Director for the SQLSaturday portfolio. I took advantage of the opportunity to do as much good as I could in the time and have so far I've thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Even though a lot has been accomplished it feels like there's much more to do and I've got the passion to do it so I made the decision to run again this year and am one of five candidates on the ballot.
So what would I like to do if I'm elected for a two year term? For starters, here's my official campaign platform as published on the elections website:
I believe that the heart of PASS and the key to our sustainability is the grassroots participation of our members. By continuing to establish and support new and existing local communities through Chapters and SQLSaturdays, PASS solidifies its relevance with data professionals through opportunities to connect with peers, advance their careers, and share their excitement and passion for working with SQL Server. Additionally, by offering a multitude of opportunities to speak, volunteer, and lead chapters and events, we are naturally developing the next generation of leaders who will inherit PASS.
I have been honored to serve as a Director and steward of the SQLSaturday portfolio this year, and if elected, I'd like to continue working on its success and growth. In fiscal year 2012, we held 61 SQLSaturdays with 12,000+ combined attendance, 1,675 sessions delivered by 1,320 speakers, and over 12,000 new PASS members. My goal is to continue that momentum by holding 80 SQLSaturdays in fiscal year 2013 and 100 SQLSaturdays in fiscal year 2014.
I believe it is vitally important to the health of PASS that our members know what their leaders are engaged in on their behalf. As a Board member, I will strive to build upon the culture of transparency that has been established by my predecessors through regular blogging about Board, HQ, and PASS activities and encouraging my counterparts to do the same.
I am passionate about helping guide and grow the PASS community and am looking forward to the opportunity to continue to do so if elected a member of the Board.
With that said, here are some of the specific things I'd like to do if elected:
Hold 100 SQLSaturdays in Fiscal Year 2014
We're on target to hold 80 this fiscal year; with the momentum we've gained and the enthusiasm of our passionate event leaders and PASS Community Evangelists I see no reason why we can't do 100 in a year.
Integrate Friday Precons\Seminars into the SQLSaturday toolset
Almost every SQLSaturday is holding a Friday precon\seminar these days. It's a great way to potentially earn extra money for a chapter and help grow the number of precon speakers in the community, but we've left organizers to use their own tools to manage registrations and money. It's time that we take a look at incorporating this into the SQLSaturday toolset.
Open Source SQLSaturday
For years we've had many members of the PASS community offer to help with development work on the SQLSaturday website and backend tools but we haven't had a good way to manage access. We've also had several Code Camps approach us and ask about using our tools (For reference, Code Camp isn't as organized as SQLSaturday - most write their own website and tools for managing their event). Couple that with the fledgling beginnings of PowerShell Saturday, IT Pro Camp, and even SharePoint Saturday, and it has become obvious to me that PASS has an opportunity to be a leader in the technical community space by open sourcing SQLSaturday. In doing so we'd be helping other communities grow while allowing them to contribute their expertise (and the expertise of our own members) to help our tools get better. I'd call that a win for everyone.
Speaker Bureau
I said last year when I ran that I'd like to see PASS implement a speaker bureau and I still believe it's a good idea. Working together with Allen Kinsel (Director of Chapters), money was budgeted to start this in this fiscal year. We've made a lot of progress to date, starting with the in-house development of an abstract submission system dating back to the original SQLRally Orlando in 2011. I'd like to help see it through to completion.
Cohesive Learning\Certification Plans and Study Groups
PASS has a lot of great learning resources available but I don't think we that we do a particularly good job of putting them together into a cohesive plan for someone to get from start to finish on a topic or certification exam. I'd like to work on getting learning plans in place and implement a certification study program at the chapter level to help everyone from beginners to pros reach their professional training goals.
SQLSaturday Video Contest
It's one thing to stand up in front of a group of people and tell them about a SQLSaturday and why they should attend - it's another to show them what a SQLSaturday is. As it turns out we've got some very creative people in the PASS community who have put together their own videos - see this video from SQLSaturday #104 in Colorado and this one from SQLSaturday #138 in Sydney (as in Australia!). I bet the talent and enthusiasm to make more of these is out there and I'd like to encourage it to happen with a contest. Run for one year, once per quarter, SQLSaturday events submit a 2-5 minute video from their event; the quarterly winner (decided by a community vote) gets a comp to the Summit and 15 minutes of fame when we show their video prior to each day's keynote. Chapter leaders and event organizers also gets a great set of videos that we can use to market SQLSaturday at chapter meetings, Code Camps, and other events where we're trying to reach potential attendees and sponsors to show them what SQLSaturday and our community are all about.
For those of your who have already cast your vote - thank you for helping to decide who you want to lead PASS forward. And for everyone else yet to fill out their ballot, I hope that my ideas resonate with you and that you'll consider voting for me.

Jozy Altidore netted his 29th and 30th goals of the 2012-13 season with a brace against SC Heerenveen.
Altidore bookended a 4-0 AZ Alkmaar win with goals in the 29th and 65th minutes, and also assisted a Johann Berg Gudmundsson goal in the 62nd minute. The other goal, assisted by Gudmundsson, was scored by Roy Beerens in the 32nd minute.
The goals give Altidore 23 league goals on the season, and a landmark 30 in all competitions, yet another elevation of the record Altidore made his own earlier this year as the best-scoring American in a European top league.
It's the former Red Bull man's fifth goal in his last three matches. Altidore scored a hat trick in a 6-0 win over Utrecht earlier this season.

MARCUS - Without their leading scorer and rebounder, the Graettinger-Terril/Ruthven-Ayrshire Titans struggled against Marcus-Meriden-Cleghorn on Saturday.
The host Eagles led 11-8 after one quarter, 29-16 at halftime and 49-25 after three quarters on the way to a 65-44 victory.
"We played a little short handed without Connor Sturgill (15.7 points and 9.0 rebounds per game)," said GTRA coach Randy Hough. " Marcus was a much more physical team and wore us down in the second half."
Austin Dyer, the Titans second leading scorer with 14.5 points per contest, led the team with 19 points, including 5-of-9 from three-point range, and he also had four assists and two steals.
Trevor Hagedorn finished with nine points and six rebounds. Mason McGrauth had six points, Marcus Girres and Michael Girres each had four points and Lane Reiman had two points. Reiman also had four assists and Marcus Girres had two steals and two blocked shots.
GTRA (6-9 overall, 6-2 in the Cornbelt Conference) is on the road against Corwith-Wesley-Luverne this evening.

I much prefer using /sbin/ip over /sbin/ifconfig for most everything. I find the interface and output to be much more consistent and it has many abilities that ifconfig, route, etc. do not. To get the mac address for only one interface, add 'show dev [interface]' to the 'ip link' part of the command: ip link show dev eth0 | grep 'link/ether' | awk '{print $2}' . Also, both this command and the ifconfig one do not require root access to run, so the sudo is not necessary. Show Sample Output

Skip to comments.Cops: 3rd-graders aimed to hurt teacher
Posted on 04/01/2008 3:05:27 PM PDT by NormsRevenge
WAYCROSS, Ga. - A group of third-graders plotted to attack their teacher, bringing a broken steak knife, handcuffs, duct tape and other items for the job and assigning children tasks including covering the windows and cleaning up afterward, police said Tuesday.
The plot by as many as nine boys and girls at Center Elementary School in south Georgia was a serious threat, Waycross Police Chief Tony Tanner said.
"We did not hear anybody say they intended to kill her, but could they have accidentally killed her? Absolutely," Tanner said. "We feel like if they weren't interrupted, there would have been an attempt. Would they have been successful? We don't know."
The children, ages 8 and 9, were apparently mad at the teacher because she had scolded one of them for standing on a chair, Tanner said. A prosecutor said they are too young to be charged with a crime under Georgia law.
School officials alerted police Friday after a pupil tipped off a teacher that a girl had brought a weapon to school, Tanner said.
Police seized a broken steak knife, handcuffs, duct tape, electrical and transparent tape, ribbons and a crystal paperweight from the students, who apparently intended to use them against the teacher, Tanner said.
Nine children have been given discipline up to and including long-term suspension, said Theresa Martin, spokeswoman for the Ware County school system. She would not be more specific but said none of the children had been back to school since the case came to light.
The purported target is a veteran educator who teaches third-grade students with learning disabilities including attention deficit disorder, delayed development and hyperactivity, friends and parents said.
The scheme involved a division of roles, Tanner said. One child's job was to cover windows so no one could see outside, he said. Another was supposed to clean up after the attack.
"We're not sure at this point in the investigation how many of the students actually knew the intent was to hurt the teacher," Tanner said.
The parents of the students have cooperated with investigators, who aren't allowed to question the children without their parents' or guardians' consent, he said. Authorities have withheld the children's names.
Police expected to forward the results of their investigation to prosecutors, Tanner said.
Children in Georgia can't be charged with a crime unless they are at least 13, District Attorney Rick Currie said.
Martin told The Florida Times-Union of Jacksonville, Fla., that administrators would follow school system policy and state law in disciplining the students.
"From what I understand, they were considered pretty good kids," Martin said. "But we have to take this seriously, whether they were serious or not about carrying this through, and that's what we did."
Four mothers of other third-grade students at Center Elementary called for the immediate expulsion of the suspected plotters.
Stacy Carter and Deana Hiott both cited school system policy stating that any student who brings "anything reasonably considered to be a weapon" is to be expelled for at least the remainder of the school year.
"We don't want our children around them," Carter told the Times-Union. "The one with the knife could have stabbed my child or someone else's child at lunch or out on the playground."
"This is an isolated incident, an aberration. ... We have good kids," Center Principal Angie Coleman told the newspaper.
The children, ages 8 and 9, were apparently mad at the teacher because she had scolded one of them for standing on a chair, Tanner said. A prosecutor said they are too young to be charged with a crime under Georgia law.
School officials alerted police Friday after a pupil tipped off a teacher that a girl had brought a weapon to school, Tanner said.
Police seized a broken steak knife, handcuffs, duct tape, electrical and transparent tape, ribbons and a crystal paperweight from the students, who apparently intended to use them against the teacher, Tanner said.
I will not ascribe the likely political persuasion of any of the kids parents.
Nope, I will not do it.
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom...
Someone, somewhere, is surely wanting to hire these kids on as management.
How long until some Freepers who defend every student under all circumstances, comes screaming on this thread trashing the teacher/school and saying that these poor children should not be held responsible because they are just too young and immature (and maybe "learning disabled"), and thus are not capable of understanding the severity of their actions?
Can you imagine what might have happened if one of the kids had brought a DRAWING of a gun to school?

These poor youts should not be held responsible because they are just too yout-like and immature, and thus are not capable of understanding the severity of their actions.
About 20 minutes.
Daughter worked with some of these kids and some of them DON'T belong in public school.
Your daughter worked with some of these kids? Wow - glad she is not working with them now.
I taught 8 and 9 and 10 year olds long time ago. Had some who were very much in need of serious help even at those young ages - but none who would have thought of doing something like what these hellions were thinking of doing.
maybe because that was long before the video fare that is availale today through TV, video rental, and the internet.
Scary world now...truly.
Not these particular kids, but some just like them and some get far worse as they get older.
Nobody has the ba—s enough to discipline their kids anymore. It's not politically correct, and so these kids have grown up not knowing any consequences.
I fear for our future.
The principal said this???
I have to believe that there is more to the story, that a group of 8 and 9 year old kids did not come up with this on their own. It's a very complex and detailed scheme, it implies a level of organization and knowledge that I can't ascribe to developmentally challenged kids. Heck, I can't ascribe it to most adults. I have a feeling there is another shoe, or two.
There are two key factors in this incident that seem to be on the increase.
One is, and I have noticed this more and more, that today's children and teens seem to have some enormous difficulty with being criticized or disciplined. I wonder if this is because our society now pampers and extols the virtues of children beyond anything that is healthy.
The other is that the children are so warped that they even think up these things. I never had thoughts like this so much as cross my mind back when I was a child. I was innocent. There is no such thing here anymore; or it is rare indeed.
I'm with you. The Catholic Church, of which I have never been a member, considers the age of accountability to be second grade, which is when children will receive their First Communion.
A second grader knows right from wrong. While they are certainly children, they know what they were doing was wrong, because obviously they could undertand that they were unhappy with being scolded and they were seeking revenge for that - if they can understand all that, they can be held accountable.
They should be expelled and be placed somewhere that they can receive counseling and I would suggest that their homes be investigated as well.

A stark contrast
Mark Buckingham saw two displays at the opposite end of the spectrum on show at St James' Park after Liverpool thrashed Newcastle United 6-0
Last Updated: 27/04/13 10:43pm
The alarm bells will be starting to ring on Tyneside following Newcastle United's 6-0 mauling at the hands of Liverpool in a game which produced two performances of such startling contrast.
Liverpool may have been without Luis Suarez, who was serving the first game of his 10-match suspension, but it mattered little as Brendan Rodgers' side delivered one of the displays of the season which possessed pace, creativity and ruthlessness.
Newcastle, if it were imaginable before kick-off, were even more abject than in their 3-0 home defeat by local rivals Sunderland in their previous home game and many disgruntled fans left St James' Park early, while one supporter threw his scarf at the dugout.
Alan Pardew made just one change from the Newcastle side which had produced an impressive first-half performance in last week's 1-1 draw away to West Bromwich Albion. Cheick Tiote was drafted back into the starting line-up to add some steel to the midfield in place of Yoan Gouffran, who dropped to the bench.
Likewise, Liverpool made just the one change to the starting line-up from last week's 2-2 draw at home with Chelsea. No prizes for guessing who was missing as Suarez's place in the side was taken by January signing Daniel Sturridge. There was also a place on the bench for Fabio Borini, who was involved for the first time since February.
Newcastle stuck with their familiar system of a flexible 4-5-1/4-3-3 formation, with Papiss Cisse the focal point of the attack as usual. There was nothing necessarily wrong with the tactics or system that Pardew deployed and pre-match there would have been few quibbles about the formation. What let Newcastle down and contributed to a heaviest home defeat since 1925 was a lack of organisation, leadership and seemingly communication in defence.
Liverpool replicated their opponents' formation, with Sturridge the spearhead, and Philippe Coutinho and Stewart Downing starting from wide positions. However, where Liverpool's approach differed to Newcastle's was in the far greater fluidity of movement from their attacking players. Whether it was down to having relatively little left to play for this season, or the determination to prove a point following Suarez's suspension, there was a freedom about Liverpool's play that has not been seen in many teams this season.
In an attempt to inject some life into Newcastle's game, Pardew made a double change at half-time, with James Perch and Jonas Gutierrez replaced by Hatem Ben Arfa and Gouffran. Perch had missed a glorious chance to pull a goal back for Newcastle before the break and a more natural attacking player was called for. Ben Arfa showed signs of encouragement as he continues to build towards full fitness, while Gouffran struggled to get involved. On 65 minutes, Tiote was replaced by Vurnon Anita to little effect.
Liverpool's first substitution was perfect timing as Borini was introduced on 72 minutes and, within two minutes, he marked his return by poking home the fifth goal. With six minutes to go, Coutinho and Sturridge were given a well-deserved break as Suso and Jonjo Shelvey were brought on to see the game out.
Andre Marriner was a busy man in the first half as the match threatened to boil over on a couple of occasions. Mathieu Debuchy and Sturridge squared up on 20 minutes for a little tete-a-tete and Marriner sensibly cautioned the duo. Just before half-time, there was a little flashpoint when Glen Johnson grabbed Tiote's leg following a challenge by the Newcastle midfielder. Given Johnson had been booked a few minutes earlier, it was a silly reaction from the Liverpool full-back, but Marriner applied common sense to give him the benefit of the doubt. A red card did arrive with 15 minutes to go and Debuchy could have no complaints about his second booking for a rash tackle on Coutinho.
Main men
Given the inept nature of Newcastle's performance, particularly in defence, it would seem slightly incongruous to select one of their players as a 'main man' and instead we'll look at two Liverpool players - both of whom were January signings.
With Suarez missing the rest of this season, and the start of next term, his absence has presented Sturridge with a golden opportunity to have an extended run in the side. And it was a chance he grasped with both hands. The winter arrival from Chelsea scored twice, both clinical finishes, and also displayed the unselfish side of his game when laying on Liverpool's second goal for Jordan Henderson. He had also injected life into Liverpool last week when introduced as a half-time substitute against Chelsea and, providing he can maintain a level of consistency in front of goal, his presence could soften the impact of Suarez's suspension.
Brazilian midfielder Coutinho has slotted pretty seamlessly into the Liverpool team since his move from Inter Milan. He possesses a guile, cunning and ingenuity in his passing that was arguably lacking before his arrival and he looks certain to go from strength to strength. A Merseyside derby next week will be a completely different proposition to what he faced today, but he doesn't look a player to shy away from a scrap and he seems destined to be an influential figure for Liverpool in the long term.
Looking ahead
With just three games to go, Newcastle are five points above the bottom three, but have played a match more than Wigan. Another win is likely to be enough for the Magpies, but a trip to face former manager Sam Allardyce and ex-striker Andy Carroll at West Ham next weekend is not exactly a favourable prospect. With Arsenal the visitors to St James' Park on the final day of the season, taking on Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road in their penultimate fixture would appear the most likely source of three points.
For Liverpool, it is now largely a case of finishing the season strongly to build momentum for the next campaign. Seventh position looks the likely outcome for the Reds, which is one place higher than 12 months ago, while the current tally of 54 points is already two better than last season. However, catching local rivals Everton in sixth is not beyond Rodgers' side, especially with the Toffees visiting Anfield next weekend and only five points separating the two clubs. If Liverpool win that one, then they will be confident, at the very least, of winning their final two games against Fulham and QPR.

Story highlights
- Experts disagree on whether food cravings rise to the level of addiction
- Ron Cothran says his food addiction left him with guilt, gas and growing stomach
- Cothran had gastric bypass surgery and is now training for a triathlon
I've never understood how someone can eat just one Oreo.
In my mind, those scrumptious cookies are supposed to be eaten in groups of six or eight or more, and it would be a culinary sin not to wash them down with a large glass of milk.
My name is Ron Cothran, and I am a food addict.
I used to fill up on stuff, not really knowing what I was eating but just going through the motions until I got my "fix." Most of the time I was left with guilt, gas and a growing stomach to accompany my gluttony.
People would tell me simply "don't eat that" or "just don't buy it" or "leave it alone." Once in a while, it would work. But most of the time, there was an almost uncontrollable urge to indulge -- I just had to have whatever it was that I thought my taste buds were craving.
My name is Ron Cothran, and I am a food addict.
Is it possible for a person to be addicted to something that they need to sustain life? Modern science tells us that the nicotine in cigarettes can be as addictive as heroin. We know that alcoholics are always susceptible to their drink of choice.
But what about food? There's compelling research to suggest certain foods affect the brain's pleasure centers the same way addictive substances do, but experts disagree on whether the cravings rise to the level of addiction.
After my gastric bypass surgery, I had to eat only soft foods for two weeks. During that time, a national chain was advertising its chicken-fried steak sandwich. That was the last thing I needed after what I had just put my body through. But the urge was so strong that I ended up going to the restaurant, ordering the sandwich, and bite by bite, chewing each morsel, then spitting it out back into the bag.
How stupid was that? I could have endangered myself if I had swallowed, but I felt I had to satisfy the craving.
My name is Ron Cothran, and I am a food addict.
I know now that my addiction to food was a symptom of a much deeper problem. I can't tell you when it started, but food had become my confidant. It wouldn't openly condemn me; it wouldn't make fun of me. It made me feel good (while I was eating it), and it was always there when I wanted attention. It was my little secret -- my reward for working so hard for everybody else.
I didn't realize this about myself until I had gone through my surgery and was forced to find a new way to deal with difficult circumstances. I no longer could eat to feel better; I needed to find a healthier way to deal with life.
I chose to make a healthy lifestyle my goal, and notable successes I found along the way became the warm fuzzies I needed to validate that I was a worthy individual. I believe that my food addiction is real. I have been "sober" now for six years and two months, and I feel great.
Here's the good news: As long as you have breath, you have the ability to change. It is not a battle of the tongue, but a battle of the mind. Yes, I used weight loss surgery to start the process, but it is only a tool, not a cure. I had to hit rock bottom before I realized that I have the ability to decide each day how my life is going to go.
Once I made the decision to live the second half of my life better than the first, a new journey began. It has been rough at times. I still get a craving now and then, but the difference is in how I respond. I have let things into my life that have so much more value than the satisfaction of a chicken-fried steak sandwich.
Nothing tastes as good as the feeling of good health.

Alabama's Reed Scholar-Athlete of the Year
NEW ORLEANS - University of Alabama rising sophomore Hayden Reed was named the men's outdoor field events NCAA Division I Scholar Athlete of the Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA), the association announced this week.
The Orange, Texas, native is the first man from Alabama to have earned the award since its inception in 2007. A biology major with a 3.52 cumulative GPA, Reed claimed the outdoor field award after winning the discus title at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. He also won the USA Track and Field Championships discus title last month.
"Obviously, we are very proud of Hayden Reed for what he has accomplished in competition and in the classroom," said Crimson Tide head coach Dan Waters. "Hayden is an excellent example of the level of performance and commitment that we want all of our student-athletes to achieve. He's also a great example of the mission of our athletics department - to compete at the highest level athletically and in life after graduation. Hayden is well on his way to fulfilling that mission."
This latest honor ranks Reed as the top outdoor field events student-athlete among the 496 men who earned USTFCCCA All-Academic honors in 2013-14. Scholar Athlete of the Year Awards are determined from among those who earned All-Academic status and placed highest in individual events at the NCAA Championships.
