As any athlete (or spectator) can tell you, a few seconds can make all the difference between winning and losing in sports. So it's only natural that professional sports have shaped the horology landscape with watches built specifically for use during competitions. From yachting and polo to golf and soccer, we touch base with four luxury watches built to compete in sports.
Rolex Yacht-Master II
While the original Rolex Yacht-Master collection is geared more towards those who enjoy a leisurely and stylish life at sea, the Yacht-Master II was specially developed for competitive sailors. Housed within the large 44 mm Oyster case of the Yacht-Master II is a programmable flyback regatta chronograph, which yacht skippers can use to time when to cross the starting line. What's more, to set the countdown timer, you must turn the "Ring Command" bezel sitting on top of the watch, making the bright blue ceramic bezel an integral part of the design and the functionality of the Yacht-Master II. One of Rolex's most mechanically sophisticated and assertively designed models to date, the Yacht-Master II has plenty of fans outside the nautical niche too.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso
In the 1930s, British officers stationed in Colonial India would partake in the sport of polo during their downtime. Known as the "Sport of Kings", the game is much more rough and dangerous as its elegant nickname suggests and oftentimes, the officers' wristwatches wouldn't survive a game. Thanks to a series of events beginning with Swiss businessman, César de Trey, taking a trip to India and ending with a patented rectangular swivel case housing a LeCoultre movement, the iconic Reverso watch was born in 1931. Designed so that the watch case could flip to hide the dial so that the strong steel caseback would face outward during a match, the clever Reverso watch eventually outgrew its intended audience to become Jaeger-LeCoultre's flagship model.
Richard Mille RM Bubba Watson
Although most pro golfers take off their luxury watches before they head out to the course, not Bubba Watson—a left-handed player famous for his long drives. That's because Richard Mille designed a series of watches for Bubba Watson to wear while playing golf. It starts with the 2011 Richard Mille RM 038 Tourbillon Bubba Watson, which flaunts lightness, extreme shock resistance, and comfort. Following this was the 2014 RM 38-01 Tourbillon G-Sensor Bubba Watson equipped with a g-sensor that can record up to 20-g of acceleration during a golf swing. These days, the two-time Masters winner sports the ceramic, titanium and rubber RM 055 Bubba Watson on his wrist.
Hublot Big Bang Referee 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
Since 2010, Hublot has been the Official Timekeeper of the FIFA World Cup and for the 2018 event in Russia, Hublot unveiled their first smartwatch. However, rather than a watch for the players, the Hublot Big Bang Referee watches with 49 mm titanium cases and Google's Wear OS were destined for the officials on the field to monitor match times. Limited to just 2,018 pieces, football (soccer) fans could also join in on the fun by taking advantage of features like national color dials, kick-off reminders, and plenty of player and game statistics to pore over.

These low lives promised a speedboat/yacht (after 3 wrong confirmations: once for a dinner cruise, and twice for the wrong timing) but on March 21 2014, gave me and my
friends a normal boat, front seats occupied, Indian music (even though there were no Indian customers) after coming from a long distance (including Abu Dhabi).
I could not dispute it on the spot because I had already paid them (required in advance), the boat was quite a walk from their office, and my friends and I all had
plans after and we all were aiming to destress for the weekend.
I complained to the voucher company but they lied to them too claiming they provided a speedboat because there was not enough people for the yacht.

Designdochters is the conceptual child of Designer Anne Vaders. On the second weekend of June she organised a tour via the different Designdochters spots – all of them located in Middelburg. This was the first of hopefully many more to come. "We have a lot of creatives in this city, but still we see a cultural migration of sorts to bigger cities, known for their design, like Eindhoven or Rotterdam", she says. "It's a pity that many of these creatives don't even know of their artistic contemporaries here in Middelburg." Anne wants to change that. By linking commercial shops and artists, an interesting dialogue emerges. The artists have to work with materials given by the shops, which results in fascinating objects like a lamp built out of glasses, in an optician. Conceptual artworks were featured too, like an audio based experience in a flower shop that made you feel you're walking in the jungle. You can actually meet the designers – who are happy to answer all your questions. Anne had some ulterior motives for this event, too. In the design world designers often don't get the appreciation or fee they deserve. People expect that designers should do things for free, or compensate them with terms like "exposure". This isn't their fault, according to Anne. "Many people expect this from designer because they don't understand the creative practice, they see one logo but don't see the process behind it. I feel it is my duty to make people aware of what happened with a certain design by showing the designers in the middle of their making process, the outcome will hopefully be that all artist get treated as they should. Although the word is featured in the name Designdochters, Anne mocks the word design. For her, everything is design, and there shouldn't be a division between so called higher and lower arts. Marketers use design, whether relevant or not, to make a costumer believe a certain product has value. Designdochters is an overall experience. Wandering through the city becomes an adventure in search of beauty. Designdochters offers you a clever route through Middelburg, giving you a variation of designs and designers. Not to forget, the route gives you a chance to have a well-deserved coffee and lunch break. For those who couldn't make it this year, make sure you go to the next edition, and get inspired. Middelburg certainly deserves a spot on the design-map, too.

If it is due to a traumatic incident it is best to call for medical assistance as you need to ascertain if anything is broken.
This following advice is meant as a guide and you should seek advice for your particular problem.
Assuming it is due to an unguarded movement (by that we mean the muscles didn't support your joint) the best thing to do is get a flexible ice pack over the painful joint. This must be wrapped in a thin cloth to protect the skin from a burn. The length of time depends on the depth of the joint.
As a general rule do 10 mins for neck, upper back and limbs and 20 mins for lower back. Try to apply 3-4x a day, mainly from mid morning onwards. You will probably feel best having a hot shower in the morning to loosen the overnight stiffness.
The next important thing to do is stay mobile on a regular basis if possible. This may be difficult to do initially. However as you move you will inhibit pain, so start gently and gain flexibility slowly. Do not test your movement in the direction of pain, as it will only aggravate your condition.
You would as a general rule benefit by going into the pain free direction. Please note with sciatica due to a disc prolapse you go into the direction that reduces leg pain even it the back aches a little. Please see the section on sciatica for further information.
Over 54,000 people will be lining up to start the The Virgin Money London Marathon, taking place on the 22nd April.
Many will be running for charities, aiming to break the 2017 fundraising record of £61.5 million.
The 2018 event is extra special as HM The Queen is starting the race from Windsor Castle as part of the celebration of the 110th anniversary of the 1908 Olympic Games marathon.
By the end of the course and after 26.2 miles of pounding the pavements of London, runners will have pushed themselves to their limits, causing all kinds of pain from the joints to the lower back.
The British Chiropractic Association has some tips to help to get the 2018 runners back on their feet on Monday morning.
BCA chiropractor, Ulrik Sandstrøm, comments on the strains of running such a monumental distance and explains how to minimise the inevitable discomfort in the aftermath.
"The atmosphere of the London Marathon is phenomenal and is what enables thousands of participants to push themselves harder than ever. Obviously, this is great in that it helps many reach the finish line; however the adrenaline rush also means that some people are pushing themselves too hard and not listening to their body's natural resistance. Often it is only afterwards that the damage is revealed. Stopping at the first sign of pain, certainly during training is important, though at a major race or event such as London Marathon it's obviously not that feasible and runners need to persevere through various forms of pain. They will pay for it, but the thrill of finishing is worth it!"
The British Chiropractic Association has some tips to help to get runners back on their feet on Monday morning with a safe and effective wind-down:
• Don't Stop Moving: Keep gently mobile, e.g. regular walking for 5-10 minutes. It is the last thing you feel like doing but remaining static should be avoided at all costs
• Ice, Ice, Baby: For specific injuries such as problems with joints, applying ice is recommended. This is most effective when done immediately but still works when applied in the days following the race
• The Heat is On: A hot bath is ideal for strained muscles and overall rejuvenation. After all, the Marathon is physically and emotionally draining, so it makes sense to relax and literally bathe in your glory!
• Food For Thought: Snack regularly on food, ideally that is high carbohydrate, low fat, some protein, (e.g. tuna sandwich) and drink lots of fluids. Refrain from drinking alcohol until fully rehydrated
Sandstrøm continues, "For those who want to have a go at London Marathon 2019 whether as a first timer or a repeat effort, the trick really is in the training. You might want to consider chiropractic treatment as a way of monitoring your progress as you train, as this way no 'niggle' is left to develop into a more serious injury. Having regular check-ups can really help overall fitness development, as any slight pain being experienced can be immediately addressed and fixed."
In practice we are asked whether anti-pronation running shoes or orthotics are the best option for runners. This article will help you to understand pronation and guide you in your choice of running shoes to prevent over pronation.
Pronation describes the rolling in of the foot as it strikes the ground during walking or running. This rolling in is part of the normal mechanics of the foot. It allows the foot to absorb energy efficiently and reduce the impact forces up the leg and into the rest of the body.
For some people the foot will pronate too far, too fast or both. These situations will give rise to increased risk of injury as the impact forces will be greater and the stress on the supportive structures (muscles and ligaments) of the leg and low back will be increased.
Do This exercises to understand the mechanics better.
From this you can get a picture of what is happening to the movement of the joints in the leg. This is called a kinematic chain as it describes a chain of movement.
Go to any running shop and pronation will be on the radar. Since the 80's running foot wear has been developed to help cushion and stabilise feet and pronation has been seen as the enemy. This approach sprang up following research that linked over pronation to running injuries. Further research corroborated this and manufacturers responded to prevent pronation. This lead to various approaches to aid stability at the ankle. The footwear had increased arch supports or a cant to change the angle of impact or both. This lead to a heavy and bulky shoe.
However, it is important to remember that the foot is supposed to pronate as part of shock absorption and normal mechanics to allow the foot to flex during the heel strike to toe off phase of gait. Stopping this is equivalent to trying to run on a stiff leg or stump. That is not going to help your prevent injury and may even make things worse. So it is important to maintain a balance that reduces excessive pronation and slows its rate if you roll in too fast.
Runners with feet that over pronate will generally need an anti-pronation shoe or an orthotic, runners that have high arches (supinate) will need a better padded shoe.
In 2001 Benno Nigg (1) proposed a new way of thinking on how these measures work. Rather than assume that they changed the position of the foot he postulated that they changed the pattern of firing of the muscles of the leg. This then created the stabilisation and slowing of pronation. This makes perfect sense as it is the firing of muscles in a coordinated fashion that stabilises and moves a joint. However as we saw in the exercise earlier the knee, hip and pelvis position also affect the ankle. So in order to achieve good ankle stability you also need top strengthen them.
A key muscle in this process are the Gluteal muscles. They stabilise the hip when you stand on one leg stopping the pelvis from dropping forwards on that side. Remember as the pelvis drops forwards it rolls in your ankle.
So in summary, if you want to run well, get your pronation assessed, select the appropriate stabilisation and strengthen the muscles around the hip, knee and ankle by following these exercises.
You may now be able to guess what I recommend to help the problem. In my opinion an orthotic in a neutral shoe is a good option. HOWEVER, it needs to be the right type. It should have an arch that is free to spring and not be a solid inflexible device such as the moulded bespoke carbon or plastic varieties that have little or no give in them.
Similarly it shouldn't be a foam based orthotic that fills the arch up. Now if you look at the anti-pronation shoes they basically tilt or cant the shoe to take out some of the roll. The problem with this is the lack of spring but also you have a clumpier, heavier shoe to carry round for your 40000 steps. That extra bulk and weight will have an effect after that many reps.
At Back In Form we recommend SOLE orthotics as they give the spring required and they are relatively inexpensive when compared to tailored orthotics. If you'd like us to assess you or for more information on how you can save over 10% off RRP just call us on 01202 733355.
In our busy lives free time is precious and often in short supply. We don't always have time for the gym workout. This research on speedy 20 minute work outs could be a option to help you get fit.
Exercise isn't a choice, it's a must. Movement is one of the key driving forces for brain activity giving us many benefits.
However, making time for hours of running, cycling or gym work is difficult, and perhaps impossible for those with children !
A recent study Gillen et al(1) found that 3 minutes of intense exercise per week has many health benefits. It is as effective as 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity training for increasing insulin sensitivity, cardio-respiratory fitness and skeletal muscle energy release in previously inactive men. In plain English, it gets you fitter just as fast as long sessions.
That's right, 3 x 20 second burst of maximum intensity cycling, separated by 2 minutes of low intensity cycling, a total commitment of 7 minutes 3 times per week. This gave the same benefits as a 45-minute session 3 times per week! Of course, you want to add on a warm up, and cool down so let's call it 3 x 20-minute sessions per week. Easy!
You don't have to own a bike, the same principle applies for any form of sprint interval training. You might choose to sprint for 20 seconds, perform squat jumps, burpees, skipping etc. It can be any exercise as long as it is maximal intensity.
Research suggests that your genes will have an influence on how much of a benefit you will receive. Huge gains can be acheived by some, but for others the benefit will be limited. However, variety is the spice of life and your health program should reflect that, so at the very least try to include some sprint training a couple of times per week.
Important: Please check with your chiropractor, health professional or sports therapist before performing high intensity exercise.

Twelve Weeks of Sprint Interval Training Improves Indices of Cardiometabolic Health Similar to Traditional Endurance Training despite a Five-Fold Lower Exercise Volume and Time Commitment Jenna B. Gillen, Brian J. Martin, Martin J. MacInnis, Lauren E. Skelly, Mark A. Tarnopolsky, Martin J. Gibala Published: April 26, 2016 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0154075
The addition of Chiropractor Lucy Rodwell to Blandford Chiropractic Clinic as locum for Karen Oldale now means that with Chiropractor Steven Oldale and Sports Massage therapist Lucy Payne, this must surely be one of the fittest clinics in Dorset.
A trio of triathletes are now ready to transition you from couch potato to ironman athlete. Steven Oldale has completed multiple ironman events but is likely to have a break from the big ones this year as he will be concentrating on the new baby triathlete! Lucy has placed highly in the forestman event and Lucy is a keen triathlete too.
The team may have to consider doing a relay event sporting clinic team kit. With a wealth of experience in competing and treating sports injuries and muscular pain they can keep you on the road. To find out more follow this link.
It had never been my intention to do an Ironman in September in 2017 as I had wanted the late summer off. However the Lanzarote experience (food poisoning) had forced me to seek another one out and as it was the first event in Italy, and the food is so good, Karen was keen to get me to sign up.
So we arrived a few days before and settled into the hotel and the great atmosphere these events generate. Despite my gastronomic disaster last time I still played shellfish roulette at dinner. It wasn't much of a risk as you could toss the shells and hit the fish market behind if you wanted.
The day of the race was perfect. Smooth warm water and a gentle breeze. I had sought out my first ever swim lesson 2 weeks before and this paid dividends as I was 3 minutes faster than my PB. So I was up for it, the target was a sub 10:30hr race, previous PB was 10:53. However the transition was over a kilometre long and the bike was 5k longer than usual so that was a big ask. Still nothing ventured nothing gained.
As I had exited the swim fairly quickly I found myself in a fast group of riders who initially worked together within the rules (no draughting) and the pace was high. However some soon started to realise that two brits, me and a chap called Duncan were pushing on and they started to draught. In fact there was a lot of draughting. This is very annoying as it wears you out but rests the opposition. So I had to pace myself to not be spent when the marathon started.
To make matters worse the top of my water container popped off and I was getting covered in sticky drink which should have been going into my stomach! Any small loss of hydration can have serious effects on performance. It also makes it hard to eat your food. This cost me time and I lost the quick group.
By the time I finished the bike I felt as if I had made up the deficit and my legs felt good as I ran up T2 with the bike. A quick change and I was off on the run with an expected finish time of sub 10 hours. I was feeling great and stoked by the time. Karen was cheering me on fervently and we were in for a good one.
That is the biggest mistake Ironman Triathletes make. They get carried away and run off too fast. First 10k, flying along (for me) at 8 min miles, next 10k just a little slower then BOOM my quads went tight and I was struggling to run. Stretching nearly gave me cramp so I gave that a miss and it was shuffle, jog, walk, curse, question my sanity at doing something so crazy such as entering and then being stupid to not run enough in training.
It's tough being in the mind of an exhausted person when you still have a half marathon to race. You want to stop and give up. You want to swap places with the person being pushed around the course in a buggy. Wait a minute. Did I just see that or am I about to collapse? No I was not hallucinating. There really was a team who had swum with a less abled chap in a rubber dinghy for 3.8k, then towed him on a bike for 185k and now there they were, on the run smiling. Yep, smiling. I couldn't give up now, so it was gels and flat cola by the bucket load, plenty of thigh slapping, swearing and gradually my legs returned.
With a huge effort I started to run continuously and pick up the pace again. I was hopeful that my target of 10:30 was still on but as I got to the final 5k I realised that was long gone. The next target was a PB of sub 10:53 and I managed to get to the line (which you feel may never come) in 10:42. Respectable, but could have been a lot better if I had paced my run. The run came in at 4:05 which was only 4 minutes slower than last year when I ran all of it. So I really had been the hare when I should've been the tortoise.
I am not doing a big one next year as life is likely to get a little too busy, but I can manage a couple of middle distance Tri's and may have a pop at Time Trialling on the bike.
I had trained all winter, braving freezing dark evenings, plus bleary eyed pre dawn starts in the pool. May had come round all too quickly and it was time to head off to Lanzarote for the Ironman. Unfortunately, some under cooked chicken put me out of action for 5 days and so the less said about that the better. To rub salt in the wound it was my Birthday too, so not a great trip.
That left me eager to make amends at the Titan Brecon. This is a race in the Brecon Beacons and a half distance but a tough one. So I was ready for it, however it was also the hottest day of the year which proved a problem on the run.
I was doing pretty well overall, lying in 19th place after the bike. The heat meant that I ran out of fluids just before the big hill climb with a further 10miles of the bike to go. This left me dehydrated for the start of the run. The result was cramp setting in hard in both legs at mile 3 out of 13. Add in shade temp of 33c and you had a recipe for a true endurance test.
The result was that I had to keep stopping to gulp down lots of water at every chance plus pouring it over myself. In the end I gave up on a PB time and ended up getting to know some of the helpers quite well. So another disastrous race, only plus side was the pro female winner was also 15 minutes slower on her run than usual too.
The next big one was Weymouth Middle, after a bit of argie bargie in the swim that nearly saw my goggles go floating off it was onto the bike. My glasses rapidly misted up and I was riding practically blind up the first big climb. I managed to pick off quite a few of the faster swimmers and was well placed on my return to T2. It's always a good feeling to see the leader still only just on the run as you come back into town. I also had my number one support crew of Karen and our friends' dog Hero to encourage me.
The run went quite well and I managed to overtake a couple of runners ahead of me but was past by one other. The aim then was to keep him in sight and hope he fatigued. It was close at the end with him only 40m ahead of me. However I just didn't have the legs to catch him in the final sprint so finished in 11th place overall, just 1 minute off 5 hours overall. So close. Still the home made organic speciality ice cream after was a real highlight!
July saw me fall off my MTB and slice my knee so the next race suffered from lack of training, less said the better. August was back to Swanage where my lack of training showed and I came in at my usual time of 2:30. A week later was a trip to Weymouth for the classic Tri. Despite my running being off parr I managed to go 4 minutes faster than 3 years previously, so I was quite pleased with that. The next step was Ironman Italy which you can read about here.
If you were asked 'how is your sense of balance?' how would you reply?
For many people their idea of good balance would be whether they are good at walking along a wall or narrow beam, or if they are comfortable to go up scaffolding and clamber around on a roof. Indeed, these things do require a good sense of balance but day to day we all need our balance systems in order to know where we are in space when just sitting or standing still. Even more so to stand up from a chair and simply walk across a room, let alone turn around.
Now, when our balance is acutely disturbed we can experience a feeling of spinning (vertigo) or falling. There are various different reasons for this including alcohol, which is particularly toxic to the cerebellum, (the area that is associated with balance and co-ordination), is just one reason. Think of the clumsiness , slurred speech and stumbling of someone who has had a few too many.
When those changes are more gradual or a subtle loss of balance we may not even realise we have a problem.
Our brain and body will do its upmost to compensate but these adaptations can result in changes of posture and maybe spinal problems. Slowing of general movements occurs. Walking speed is a common sign as are changes in tolerances of movement around you, this can manifest as travel sickness or feeling uncomfortable in supermarkets and busy streets.
Another common complaint of people with giddiness, dizziness or balance issues is anxiety and nausea. It is estimated that 15-35% of the population will experience a complaint of dizziness and at least a third of those will develop a secondary psychological disorder. (Ref: Susan Herdman PT, PhD Vestibular Rehabilitation 2nd Ed)
Are you noticing these changes in your balance, co-ordination, speed of movement or someone else's .
Do you think you might benefit from having your posture, balance and co-ordination checked? Chiropractors at Back In Form are trained and practiced in looking at the integration of these systems and may be able to improve or resolve your complaint with treatment and 'vestibular rehabilitation'. If you'd like to know more then please call the clinic for further advice or to make an appointment.
What, are you kidding? No it really is a busy time at A&E. In the US there were on average 17 hospital visits each year in 100 hospitals surveyed. That doesn't include those people who didn't bother to go or sought help somewhere else such as the Chiropractic or Osteopathic clinic.
I clearly remember the Christmas I got my first pen-knife. To test how sharp it was I ran my thumb along the direction of the blade instead of running my thumb across it. Well those Swiss know how to make blades. It was immediately confiscated and I didn't get it back for a couple of years!
Christmas really can be a dangerous time. So here's a breakdown of the types of injury, when they occurred, the ages of the injured.
Obviously the peak day was Christmas day and that was due to the big increase in scissor related injuries. Probably as the sherry had been opened a little while earlier. So go easy on the Sellotape to protect the ones you love.
The biggest injury cause was decoration related, with a few keen beans getting them up in early November.
Careful though, the peak of Xmas tree related injuries comes in the next two weeks.
If we look at breakdown of ages there is a big spike at 0-5 years old as the excitement all gets too much and the little ones run into the stocking hooks or poke their eyes on the tree branches. The rest of injuries were spread fairly evenly through the parental 25-55 years. The older wiser age group must have stayed seated out of the way.
Types of injury of injury varied considerably, but I clearly read the textbook as lacerations were number one. That was closely followed by strains and sprains, contusions and fractures. If you bunch the last 3 injury types together those groups make up over half the injuries.
So be careful out there and if you do get hurt give us a call so that our Chiropractors can give you advice. In the meantime have fun and enjoy the time together.
Susan has been practising Chiropractic for 28 years and has worked in many locations before settling in Dorset. She has been working at Casterbridge Chiropractic Clinic for many years but has now decided to work closer to home.
Susan has a particular interest and experience in Functional Neurology and has attended and qualified to Chiropractic Board Certified level in Neurology. This puts her in an exclusive club of specialising Chiropractors. She is also a contributing author to Chiropractic textbooks.
Susan's approach looks at the whole nervous system, particularly brain function. The brain controls how we function and interact with our perceived environment. Weaknesses result in patterns of weakness which can eventually manifest in functional problems.
Using standard Neurological tests and Optokinetic (eye movements) evaluation it is possible to identify weaknesses that could easily be overlooked. A program of exercises to strengthen the weak areas is then devised and if the problem is functional, positive changes will occur that help to rebalance the reflexes that control us.

We will be updating topics regarding this in due course so if interested please follow us through facebook and we will post links to them there.

The long-rumored Star Wars anthology film focused on Obi-Wan Kenobi will reportedly begin shooting in 2019 in Northern Ireland.
RELATED: Star Wars: Obi Wan Movie Reportedly Goes Into Production in 2019
According to the Belfast Telegraph, the staff of the city's Paint Hall studios has been notified the spinoff, which has yet to be announced by Lucasfilm, will use the facility for production. The studio is now home to HBO's Game of Thrones.
The newspaper contends that George Lucas himself toured the studio before Christmas. The filmmaker had been photographed in November dining at an area restaurant, which ignited speculation about why he was in Belfast. Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney in 2012, and is no longer officially involved with the Star Wars franchise he created.
RELATED: George Lucas Helped to Direct a Scene in Solo: A Star Wars Story
While little is known about the film, it's rumored to be directed by Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot). Ewan McGregor, who played Obi-Wan in Episodes I-III, has repeatedly expressed interested in returning to the role.
The next Star Wars film is Solo: A Star Wars Story, which will debut in theaters on May 25. Directed by Ron Howard, itstars Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, Woody Harrelson as Tobias Beckett, Emilia Clarke as Qi'ra, Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, Thandie Newton as Val, Phoebe Waller-Bridge as L3-37, Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca, Paul Bettany as Dryden Vos and Harley Durst as Moloch.

This post goes out to all of those tweens and teens who love their cell phones and eating. Yup, just about all of them. Since they're probably not going to be reading this, we will let you pass on this awesome find. Healthy U Junior Chef is a website that has a FREE iPhone and iPad app that accompany it. You may want to check it out yourself, too. It's pretty cool.
The website and app encourage your "Junior Chefs" to get involved in the kitchen and make healthy choices. After selecting a recipe, they can view nutrition facts and see how often this recipe should be eaten – it ranges from very often to just sometimes. Then it lists ingredients and instructions. It also introduces the meal planning concept to those tweens and teens who haven't had to plan ahead yet. You know, the kind of things I am still working on. Start 'em young, right?

Read em and weep … unless you are a government worker.
Here's the story. If you work for state or local government you have a better chance of receiving a solid benefits package paid for by taxpayers who rarely, if ever, have a total compensation package anywhere near yours in value.
How does that happen you may ask? It's quite simple, government is not concerned with what it can afford or pay for and no one is accountable, no one. Witness the unfunded benefit liabilities in New Jersey, Illinois, California and many other states.
In the case of these benefits there is another factor; public employee unions and their alliance with politicians seeking union worker votes, almost exclusively democratic politicians. Nowhere is the buying of votes more visible than when it comes to public employee unions. And yet, nobody seems to care, do you care?
What possible justification can there be for government workers to have a total compensation package significantly higher (about 41% higher on average) than private sector workers footing the bill?
The participation rate for employer-sponsored medical care benefits for civilian workers was 52 percent in March 2016, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The participation rate was 49 percent for private industry workers and 73 percent for state and local government workers.
The participation rate for employer-sponsored retirement benefits, which include defined benefit and defined contribution plans, was 54 percent for civilian workers. The participation rate was 49 percent for private industry workers and 81 percent for state and local government workers. Differences in retirement plan participation are influenced by the type of plan offered.
Fifty-seven percent of civilian workers participated in employer-sponsored life insurance benefits. The participation rate for private industry workers was 54 percent and 78 percent for state and local government workers.
The share of single coverage medical care premiums paid by employees averaged 19 percent for civilian workers, 21 percent for private industry workers, and 13 percent for state and local government workers.
These data are from the National Compensation Survey (NCS), which provides comprehensive measures of compensation cost levels and trends and also provides benefits incidence data on the percentage of workers with access to and participating in employer-provided benefit plans.
The survey covers a broad range of benefits including holidays and vacations, sick leave, life insurance, and detailed provisions for health care and retirement plans. Archived NCS news releases are available at http://www.bls.gov/ncs/ncspubs.htm. Table A. Selected employer-sponsored benefits: Access, participation and take-up rates1, March 2016

Seton Hill opened the second half scoring with a pair of goals to take an 8-4 lead. The Storm responded a minute later when Donohue found the back of the net to make the score, 8-5 in favor of Seton Hill. The Griffins regained their four goal lead about a minute later and took a 9-5 edge.

The Griffins scored five goals to start the fourth quarter before the Storm stopped the run when Mitchell Stokes (New Westminster, B.C. / New Westminster Secondary) found the back of the net with just under four minutes remaining in the game. The Griffins added a late goal, and won the game 17-6.

No, we're not there yet.
Google Maps is sending tourists looking for New South Wales' Blue Mountains to a dead-end street.
Fairfax reports that hundreds of travellers have followed Google Maps' directions to the popular tourist destination only to end up on the not-so-picturesque Valley View Road in Dargan, NSW.
Residents of Valley View Road, which is about 30 kilometres away from the actual Blue Mountains, have known about the issue for a few years but it has apparently got worse recently.
One resident told Fairfax that during long weekend and holidays a car of confused tourists shows up "every few minutes" looking surprised at the lack of mountains.
Another resident has gone to the measure of putting up a sign which reads "BLUE MOUNTAINS is not here (Google Maps is wrong) you need to go to KATOOMBA of Blackhealth." Well, at least that's helpful.
A Google Maps error has sent hundreds of tourists looking for the Blue Mountains to a dead-end street in Dargan https://t.co/Cp4ft7a6Un
— smh.com.au (@smh) October 5, 2017
There have been some unwelcome side effects of the lost tourists, including increased noise and traffic and some people asking to use residents' toilets.
Since the Fairfax article was published, Google has rectified the issue and the pin is now dropping where it should, smack bang in the Blue Mountains National Park. But maybe this could be avoided if people read maps instead of just blindly following Google's pins.
Google Maps is usually very reliable but this is not the first time it has led people in astray.
In May, Techly reported that tourists in Norway were being taken off the beaten track and in April, a man in Darwin had has house confused with a pizza restaurant.
"The various types of data found in Google Maps come from a wide range of sources, including third-party providers, public sources, and user contributions," a Google spokesperson told Mashable regarding the Blue Mountain blunder.
"Overall, this provides a very comprehensive and up-to-date map experience, but we recognise that there may be occasional inaccuracies that could arise from any of those sources. In this instance, we didn't get it quite right and we have now fixed it. We apologise for any inconvenience caused to local residents and visitors."
If lost tourists are using your toilet or people think your house it a pizza joint, you can report an error to Google here.

Train journeys are always special because it is not so quick like the plane journeys and people can have a good look to the outside beauty and diversities of nature. Ipoh is the beautiful capital city of Perak in Malaysia. It has got many beautiful places which millions of tourists come to see every year. Modes of travelling in the city and from other places are easy to get and also are quite nominal in costing. Efficient train services are available for tourists from different areas of the country to this beautiful city. Train journeys from KL city or Kota Bahru city to Ipoh are quite famous. Two different kinds of train services are available to tourists from these two popular cities and they are KTM train services and ETS train service. Three express KTM trains are available from these two cities till Ipoh and there are more than ten ETS train services available for the tourists. Most of tourists go for the train journeys because it is quick and also has many beautiful cityscapes along with beautiful rivers in it. KTM train journeys generally take somewhere around three to four hours to reach the destination city while the fast ETS train service takes two or two and half hours. The train journeys can be booked through stations or from this http://www.easybook.com/en-my/train/route/ipoh website easily.
Different Services And Their Costing
The train journeys to Ipoh are equipped with different kinds of services in it. For passengers who prefer the ETS train journeys have two packages to choose from in which one is silver service and the other one is gold service. Tourists who want to complete their journeys in their budget or who have a small budget for journeys can go for the silver while others can opt for the better gold one. The cost of the gold service is double the cost of the silver service. Even the ETS trains stop only on the main stations of city which makes the journey quite quick compared to the KTM train service. So, if you are planning for a vacation in Malaysia or in the nearby beautiful cities then surely go for these beautiful trains journeys.

Leicester rockers Kasabian paid tribute to Sir Bruce Forsyth as they pulled off a rip-roaring headline set at the first night of Reading festival.
Their appearance came just days after they cancelled their Belfast performance on Tuesday at the last moment because frontman Tom Meighan had been taken to hospital with a bug.
But he was back on top form as he greeted his fans on Friday night, marking one week since the TV legend's death at 89.
During a rendition of hit track Vlad The Impaler, Meighan called out: "Bruce Forsyth, I'll see you on the other side," according to a report by music magazine NME.
Moments later, the band were also joined onstage by close friend and incoming The Great British Bake Off presenter Noel Fielding.
The quirky comedian donned a cape and platform boots as he introduced himself with: "I have killed many people in my time. I also present a cake show."
According to The Mighty Boosh creator, it was the band's Serge Pizzorno who first sparked his interest in the hit family baking contest.
Speaking at a launch event for the upcoming series on Channel 4 earlier in the week, he told reporters: "My friend Serge, from Kasabian, said I would love it so I watched (past seasons) back to back and really enjoyed it.
Noel fielding at kasabian pic.twitter.com/v5ohHbyv0y— Cameron Thornley (@cam_thorn1) August 25, 2017
"It was such a nice vibe, even though I don't bake, so when they asked me to do it, I was really staggered and I just thought it was too big an opportunity.
"I also really wanted to work with Sandi (his new co-presenter Sandi Toksvig), who was already in."
Toksvig jokingly admitted that she had no idea who "Serge" was.
Kasabian's set list for the night also included Underdog, Club Foot, Re-Wire, Shoot The Runner and Comeback Kid.
The rest of the day also saw performances from Fatboy SLim, Bastille, Two Door Cinema Club, Lethal Bizzle, Anne-Marie and Billy Talent.
Meanwhile, Muse headlined the night over in Leeds with a set packed with stunning visual effects and fireworks.

I don't know about you, but I'm yet to meet someone who doesn't like a good slice of cheesecake every now and again – and let's be honest, why wouldn't you? There's just something about that sweet, creamy filling and crisp, biscuit base that makes cheesecake one of those desserts that's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
The trouble is, all the best cheesecakes are packed with sugar to help make sure the filling tastes as amazing as it looks – I know I've been guilty of it in the past! But the truth is, you don't need to add melted chocolate, chopped lollies or sweet syrups into your cheesecake to make them taste incredible. All you actually need is a really good tea.
Yip, you read that right – you can use tea to flavour your cheesecakes! The only trick is finding a variety that is packed with enough beautiful flavour to shine through in the finished dessert and really make an impression – and that's where this easy strawberry and rhubarb cheesecake comes in.
Despite being packed with the beautiful taste of strawberries and rhubarb, there's actually nothing flavouring the filling but Red Seal hot and cold brew fruit tea. I bet you didn't think you could bring such precise, beautiful flavour into a dessert without adding any extra sugar, calories or gluten! The best part is you literally don't even need to boil the jug to brew the Red Seal's new tea – a little tap water will do the trick.
This cheesecake is hands-down one of the quickest, simplest and most delicious I've ever made – there's no baking involved, no complicated tricks to nailing the filling and the topping… well, all you need is a handful of sliced strawberries and you have one rather show-stopping dessert on your hands.
For bonus points serve the cheesecake along with a big jug of chilled Red Seal strawberry and rhubarb tea – just fill a jug with tap water, pop in a couple of tea bags (I use one for every 250ml of water) and leave it to sit for five minutes or so. You won't believe how good it tastes – I've been drinking it non-stop this summer!
Strawberry and rhubarb not your thing? Never fear – there are six awesome flavours of Red Seal Fruit Teas available, so there's bound to be one you'll love (the Blood Orange and Exotic Fruits varieties are my personal favourites). So just pick your favourite and enjoy making the perfect cheesecake.
- 400g super wine biscuits
- 200g butter, melted
- 1 Red Seal fruit tea bag
- ¼ cup water
- 3 tsp gelatine
- 300ml cream
- 375g cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup caster sugar
- Punnet strawberries, sliced (optional)
- Place biscuits in the bowl of a food processor and blitz until a fine crumb. Add melted butter and pulse until well combined.
- Grease a 9 inch springform pan and cover base with approx. half of biscuit mixture. Press until firm.
- Scoop remaining biscuit mixture around the edges of the pan, pressing up the sides. Place in the fridge to set.
- Place water in a small cup and add tea bag. Set aside to steep while you prepare the filling.
- Pour cream into a large bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine cream cheese and caster sugar and beat until smooth and creamy.
- Remove tea bag from water and add gelatine. Mix until gelatine has dissolved, then add to cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined.
- Add cream and beat until well combined, being careful not to over mix it as you don't want to push all the lightness from the cream out of the mixture.
- Pour cheesecake filling into prepared base and place in fridge to set for 2 hours or overnight.
- Top with sliced fresh strawberries before serving.

When faced with symptoms of a stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, and watery eyes, one may have a case of the common cold. To cure this cold, just consume Vitamin C… WRONG. This is a myth. Vitamin C will not cure the common cold. Even though Vitamin C is linked with several health benefits, curing the cold is not one of them. Studies have shown that those who take Vitamin C supplements may have shorter or less cold symptoms then those who do not take any at all, but not much support for the overall CURING of a cold.
So… What is Vitamin C and it's Benefits?
Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin found in certain foods or in the form of a supplement. It helps the body fight against free radicals and to make collagen, a protein that helps heal wounds. A few examples of foods that are good sources of Vitamin C include oranges, peppers, strawberries, kale, and pineapple. Vitamin C can also be found in the form of supplements varying from pills, gummies, or even in a powder form such as Emergen-C.
So What Is the Cure For the Common Cold?
Unfortunately, the common cold is a virus. In other words, there is no magic pill that can help cure it. Taking antibiotics won't help. The best thing to do is to get proper rest and stay hydrated. There are some OTC medications that may help with relieving common cold symptoms. Be sure to ask a medical professional before trying any new medications in order to make sure they are right for you. If you have prolonged symptoms, that last longer than 10 days, you may have a sinus infection and should seek a medical attention.
How HRUC Can Help
If you are suffering from cold symptoms that don't seem to be getting better, keep HRUC in mind. It could be possible that you have something more serious such as a sinus infection. One of the specialties at HRUC is General Medicine. At HRUC, walk ins are always welcome. Hours of operation are extended beyond traditional business hours, Monday- Friday 8am-7pm, and on Saturdays 10am-4pm.

Minimum entry requirement introduced for geeks
PEOPLE designating themselves as geeks will have to pass a basic exam, it has been confirmed.
Wearing oversized glasses and watching The Big Bang Theory will be replaced with a proven track record of academic overachievement and traumatic childhood bullying.
Geekologist Roy Hobbs said: "I didn't spend six years retrieving my sputum-flecked satchel from the school roof just to be usurped by some fucknut in a Dangermouse t-shirt.
"It's time to reclaim the word 'geek' as somebody with borderline autism who thinks in algebraic formulae as opposed to one of the four billion people who reckons Empire is better than Star Wars.
"They don't even know the latter's proper title is Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, which is abbreviated to 'A New Hope'. Idiots."
After passing the £250 entrance exam with questions on eyewatering Hentai porn and the correct way to arrange Farscape action figurines in a display cabinet, successful candidates will be given a badge of geekdom.
The badge will come in one of 12 slightly different designs and the full set will only be awarded to those who sit the exam 12 times including in Na'vi, Entish and the Galach tongue from Dune.
The new guidelines will help separate the truly geeky from those who want to have sex with Alyson Hannigan or Zooey Deschanel on the basis they are extremely attractive women who occasionally pretend to be socially awkward in exchange for large sums of money.
Hobbs added: "From now on saying you think 'science is really cool' because you like Brian Cox won't mean shit unless you treat your acne using homemade benzoyl peroxide."

FujiFilm Shows Off Digital Color Printing Standards at IMAGING USA 2001 Expo
Thursday, August 09, 2001
Press release from the issuing companyPPA, IMAGING USA 2001, ROSEMONT, IL, August 5, 2001 – Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc., is introducing the new Fujifilm Pictrography 4000II, a flexible-format, true photographic quality color digital printer incorporating Fujifilm's technologically-advanced imaging tools to produce high quality prints for graphic studios, professional studios and photo labs. Building on the resounding success of the Pictrography 4000, the Pictrography 4000II sets a new standard in digital color printing with its capacity for ultra high speed printing, photorealistic and continuous color quality and the ability to handle multiple paper sizes. For four consecutive years, the Fujifilm Pictrography series of digital printers has been awarded top honors in its product category by the Digital Imaging Marketing Association (DIMA). As the newest addition to Fujifilm's highly acclaimed digital printing line up, the Pictrography 4000II boasts One Pass processing for both laser-diode exposures and yellow, magenta-cyan thermal development and dye transfers with Fujifilm's Thermal Development and Dye Transfer Technology, allowing for an impressively sharp output. By comparison, the Pictrography 4000II delivers higher resolution than comparable print samples obtained through a dye sublimation process. "With the Pictrography 4000II, Fujifilm delivers a digital printing technology that sets new standards for high resolution print quality, high-speed printing, continuous color shading and flexibility with multiple paper sizes," said Jennifer Davalos, Marketing Manager, Professional Digital Products, Commercial Imaging Division, Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc. "We are expanding our digital technology products for labs and studios to enable them to quickly adapt to the changing needs of customers." The Pictography LCD control panel provides all necessary instructions during use and loading donor paper is fast and simple. Print time for the first Double Letter A/3 size image is approximately 90 seconds, with each subsequent print taking only 58 seconds, faster than ink jet or dye sublimation printing. The Pictrography 4000II uses a SCSI-II interface, and includes new printer drivers for the PowerMacintosh™ and Windows™ 95/98/2000/NT v. 4.0 systems providing users the means to quickly print out retouched images without worrying about using a particular platform or application. An Adobe PhotoShop® Plug-in is also included. The Pictrography 4000II offers a comprehensive slate of features, that deliver the project flexibility that professional studios and color labs expect from a high-end product including: Easy Color Calibration The Pictography 4000II calibrates color accuracy through its closed-loop color calibration system. Users can manipulate the Auto Calibrator and set optimum color conditions to maintain consistency over time or between print jobs. High Resolution 400 dpi enables the Pictrography 4000II to produce documents with the highest-level print quality. Fully Continuous Color Shading The Pictrography 4000II performs density modulation for each pixel of the line scan. As a result, there is no trade-off between gradation and resolution allowing for beautifully detailed print outputs – even in intermediate colors. Multiple Paper Sizes Flexibility To support a wide range of printing applications, the Pictrography 4000II provides handling for multiple paper size, from post card size to Photographic-standard 8x10, 10x12, and 12x18; it also handles standard paper sizes including A4, letter, A3, double letter, and wide sizes. Clean Printing Process The Pictrography 4000II is exceptionally clean and environmentally-friendly, as it requires no chemicals or toner.

Aaron Schock - An Open Letter 2/07/08
You also survived some viscious hits from the local media who endorsed Mr. McConoughy and will be watching you even more carefully to cricize any perceived or actual mistake you will make after your election in November.
You shrugged off all the negativeness and were a gracious winner. You have the grace to make friends of non-supporters and help make the changes badly needed if the Illinois Republican Party is ever to be a force in State and National politices in the upcoming years.
More and more former solid Republicans now call themselves independents yet must pick up a Republican ballot for the primaries. In November they will vote for the candidate who represents them best on things that matter most to them; taxes, spending,decaying infrastructures, trade barriers, affordable health care with costs fairly distributed, bloated bureaucracies, less union and government interference in education,over-regulation and national defense.
You will need to appeal to those with their hands out. I believe the large turnouts for Obama see him as a populist offering a pig in every roaster and a crutch for their failure to educate themselves. And those who fail to work productively and save to provide for their future.
Those ultra liberals and pacifists who believe we will all love each other should be reminded of the recent bombing where the bomber blew up his car with 3 of his innocent kids in it. Remind them that we have too many terroists here now that are home grown and are part of an over permissive society while those who terrorize the world are mostly uneducated or educated by the wrong teachers.
Those who still believe we should leave Iraq now should be reminded that we atually were winning the war in Vietnam until our medias and government propaganda, mis-reporting by a confused and terrified press and a pacifist congress turned a clear U.S. victory at Tet into a defeat. After our failure to support those who supported us, Southeast Asia turned into an era of "killing" fields, killing an estimated
two million people including 30% of the entire Cambodian population.
Your remark on Taiwan were totally overblown by the liberals at the Journal Star. Any of us who follow history know that Taiwan would now be part of China if it was not for the strong military presence of the U.S. in the FarEast. Upset the Chinese? Look at their Communistic record of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not to mention free speech. Your position was correct; your words could have been better (you will learn) but I don't believe the JSEB position cost you many votes. It may have added some.
When you promised the use of up to 20% ethanol in our gas, I'm sure you were placating the farmers. If you plan to help keep bloating the farm bill, I suggest that you do not hinder an entrepenurial spirit that built this country before everybody found out Congress was an easy mark for major special interest groups.
In my 5 successful campaigns for County Board (2 primaries included) I never had the official endorsement of the Republican Central Committee. My last campaign cost less than $900, donated without my asking, and the only yard signs I used were leftovers placed at the voting places the day of the election. The only time the JSEB endorsed me, a local favorite pundit called the endorsement "smarzy".
Until some of the "out of touch" "movers and shakers" in the Republican Party retire or are replaced or "get with" the Republican Party of the future, do not overlook us Repubublicans who have an independent streak. Many of us no longer vote a straight party ticket.
Think of the man who will be our next President of the United States of America, John McCain. He may have warts like all politicans have but he has warts that can be removed or lived with and be a better president by far than George Bush.
As to your position on Iraq, I ask that you read yesterdays Wall Street Journal, "The Lies of Tet" by Arthur Herman and "From the Jaws of Victory" by Nadia Scdhadlow, today's edition
My best wishes to you and I forgive you Kay Royster.

It will be a cold day before McCain is elected President and even a chimp could have done a better job than George Bush. In fact, George is the reason why McCain won't be elected. As for Schock, well if he is elected, we're all screwed.
Too far left for you Mr. Widmer?

Having read your comments on other blog sites, I believe you are so far left, you support Obama. The election of either Democrat for for President would mean all of us with common sense will be screwed.
You will be screwed in November because Schock wii be elected.
You sound like a pretty bitter person. But I know you are not a chimp because the chimps I know, can't type.
The only possible way Schock could not be elected is if the JSEB endorses him.

Well let me put it this way on how I believe in the Right. When Mitt gave his speech the other day quitting the race, he said that he did it so Obama or Clinton wouldn't win thus surrendering to the terrorists. He also said America didn't have enough God while then saying the Muslims have too much God. Talked about screwed up but if we believe everything the Right has said, then voting Liberal means you have no values, you are a terrorist, and you want to surrender America to the Godless Muslims. No wait, Mitt said the Muslims have too much God. Then we have Aaron who wants to sell nuclear missiles to Taiwan in order to bring the Godless Chinese in line and then says it was a joke. The joke is listening to Republicans using scare tactics on Americans. I think Americans have caught on considering Bush's popularity rating of what 20 something percent?
No, after almost 8 years of George Bush and the lies that have been told by both him and Cheney, it appears you are one of those 20% that still believe we need 4 more years of the kind of leadership Mitt or McCain wants force down American throats. It is time for change and that is why McCain will not be elected. Yes I am a bit far to the left and No I am not a chimp but I can put a sentence together something a chimp and our President can't do. As Bush would say; "We is learning."
P.S. I do agree with you on one thing. Schock will most likely be elected because the Democrats in this area have no spine.
- Monday, February 11, 2008 5:17:00 AM
Scare tactics? They all twist the truth and reality. Hillary states she thinks universal health care is a "human right". Yet no systematic health care was available to humans prior to the 20th century. Have humans had it all wrong prior that point? So is that to say that my father, who worked in a non-union mill all his life at fairly low pay, yet paid for his families health care and insurance out of his own pocket, was getting screwed by society? The man knew how to SAVE for what was IMPORTANT. Something people do not know how to do today.

- Peoria AntiPundit said...
Before the 20th century?? Even the sick Indian was taken to the medicine man. Human beings have a right to be treated when ill unlike in some cities in the US if you have no insurance; you are pushed back out the door. That is the context of Hillary Clinton's remark. As we become a more civilized and advanced society, we owe it to each other that we take care of each other. Not because of race, wealth, being poor, but because it is the civilized thing to do. Of course there is no profit in that line of thinking so no Republican would like it.

Düber—the über deduplicator for Excel
lazyslug's Düber is a Microsoft Excel productivity tool that solves one of the most common Excel list management problems: smart duplicate removal.
Duplicate removal is commonly required to clean up lists containing human-entered data from sources such as:
- Web forms
- Marketing mailing lists
- Sales account lists
- Customer lists
- Product lists
Lists like these often contain duplicates that must be removed before they can be used to create mailings, update databases, create product catalogues and so on. As the data in these lists is often entered by hand, duplicate entries are created simply by multiple copies of the same data, or by entering multiple instances where the data is subtly different (containing spelling errors or typos, for example).
Removing duplicates using exact matching is straightforward and Excel provides built-in features to do this. However, the hard part of any big list clean-up task is handling the matching and removal of non-exact data.
Intelligent duplicate fix or removal can often only be done manually and is a time-consuming, error-prone and boring task.
The technology required to automate this process is known as "fuzzy matching" and it is just one of the capabilities of Düber that separates it from what Excel can do out of the box. Düber's smart matching can automate list clean-up tasks, performing in minutes what previously took days or even weeks of laborious effort.
To find out more why not learn how real customers use Düber, read the frequently asked questions or read the product documentation.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Junior Joe McBride (Arlington, Va/Yorktown) threw for 336 yards and two touchdowns, but four turnovers doomed the Randolph-Macon football team in a 25-20 loss at Catholic Saturday afternoon at Cardinal Stadium.
The Yellow Jackets fell to 2-1, while the Cardinals improved to 2-1.
The R-MC defense stopped CUA on downs on the first possession of the game. The Yellow Jackets completed a pass for a first down on their initial possession, but the receiver was stripped and the Cardinals took over on the R-MC 26. CUA needed just six plays to reach the end zone, but missed the extra point to lead 6-0 with 8:50 left in the first period. Following an R-MC punt, the Cardinals moved 55 yards to record their second TD. A blocked extra point gave CUA a 12-0 lead with 5:22 left in the first quarter. The Yellow Jackets drove to the CUA 14, but what looked like a touchdown catch was stolen by the defender for an interception.
In the second quarter, the Cardinals connected on a 62-yard pass on a third-and 17 from their own 13, setting up their third score of the half. CUA led 19-0 with 4:46 left in the second period. R-MC drove deep into CUA territory, having fourth-and-goal from the CUA 2. A pass into the end zone was knocked out the receiver's hands, giving the home team a 19-0 lead at the half. The Yellow Jackets ran more plays than the Cardinals (35-33), but trailed in total yards 236-164.
On its first possession of the third quarter, R-MC completed a long pass deep into CUA territory, but the ball was knocked out at the CUA 5 for a fumble, recovered by the Cardinals. Senior Ryan Burns (Fredericksburg, Va./Colonial Forge) picked off a pass, giving the Yellow Jackets the ball on the CUA 25. Junior Eric Hoy (Clayton, N.C./Clayton) scored from one yard out as R-MC trailed 19-7 with 8:10 left in the third period. The Cardinals scored on the second play of the fourth quarter to take a 25-7 lead.
R-MC drove 83 yards in 10 plays on its first drive of the fourth quarter, as McBride hit junior Tre Frederick (Angier, N.C./West Johnston) on a nine-yard TD pass to make it 25-14 with 12:13 left in the final period. The Yellow Jacket defense held CUA on a three-and-out, but an interception in Cardinal territory ended the threat.
The Yellow Jackets stopped the Cardinals on downs and drove 75 yards in nine plays, as McBride connected with junior Owen Ritter (York, Pa./Dallastown) on a five-yard scoring pass. A missed two-point attempt made it 25-20 with 2:18 left.
CUA recovered the onside kick, picked up one first down, and ran out the clock to secure the victory.
McBride completed 28 of 48 passes. Hoy (51 yards) and junior Christian Redman (North Chesterfield, Va./James River) (76 yards) both had five receptions for the Yellow Jackets. Frederick had 21 carries for 91 yards.
Senior Norman Cade (Rolesville, N.C./Wake Forest) paced R-MC with 14 tackles, while sophomore Shajuan Phillips posted 10 tackles.
Following its bye week, Randolph-Macon begins ODAC action on Thursday, Sept. 28, with a 6:30 p.m. home contest against Shenandoah on Day Field.

Friday, Dec 13, 1996
South San Francisco, Calif. -- December 13, 1996 --Genentech, Inc. (NYSE:GNE) announced today that it has named Dick Munro as the new chairman of its board of directors, following Robert A. Swanson's decision to retire as chairman and from the board at the end of 1996 after 20 years with the company that he co-founded with Herbert W. Boyer, Ph.D., in 1976, beginning the biotechnology industry. Munro has served on Genentech's board of directors for eight years.
"Dick Munro brings a wealth of experience to the Genentech Board both as a former CEO of Time Warner Inc. and as a member of the boards of several of America's premiere companies," said Arthur D. Levinson, Ph.D., Genentech's president and chief executive officer.
"I'm very excited about assuming the chairmanship of a company like Genentech -- it is the pioneer and pacesetter of the biotechnology industry," said Munro. "It's almost daunting to follow on the heels of a man like Bob Swanson who is co-creator of the enterprise that is Genentech, but I hope to bring the same level of support and vision to the company as it enters its equally important second generation and continues leading the industry into the 21st century."
Munro became a member of the board of directors of Genentech in February, 1988. Munro is chairman of the Executive Committee of the board of directors of Time Warner Inc. Prior to the formation of Time Warner Inc., Munro was chairman and chief executive officer of Time Inc., where he began his career in 1957. Munro is a director of Mobil Corporation, Kellogg Company, and Kmart Corporation.
Munro is a member of many organizations including: chairman of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation's Council on Research Development; a member of the National Coalition of AIDS Research; member of the President's Council - The New York Academy of Sciences; member of the Counsel on Foreign Relations; chairman of the Points of Light Foundation; and a director of the United Negro College Fund. In addition, he is a trustee of Hamilton College, St. Lawrence University, Teacher's College, Columbia University and The Salisbury School.
Munro received his bachelor's degree from Colgate University and completed graduate work at Teacher's College, Columbia University. During the Korean War, he was decorated with the purple heart three times while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. Swanson, who will continue as an advisor and consultant for Genentech, decided to leave the company's board in Genentech's twentieth anniversary year to allow him more time to identify and fund novel young companies working in uncharted areas - much as he launched Genentech with Boyer, a biochemist at the University of California at San Francisco, in 1976.
Genentech, Inc. is a leading biotechnology company that discovers, develops, manufactures and markets human pharmaceuticals for significant unmet medical needs. Ten of the currently marketed biotechnology products stem from Genentech science, five of which Genentech markets directly in the United States. Genentech is headquartered in South San Francisco, California, and is traded on the New York and Pacific Stock Exchanges under the symbol GNE.
