MILTON, Mass.—UMass Boston softball (10-19) held off one of Curry College's (22-14) two comebacks, to earn their first road win of the season and a non-conference doubleheader split Monday afternoon at D. Will Forbes Field.
The Beacons took the first game 3-2 in nine innings, after the Colonels tied the game at 1-1in the sixth and 2-2 in the bottom of the eighth. Curry College responded with a 6-4 victory in game two, as the Colonels scored six-straight runs, after falling into an early 4-0 run.
Monday's first game was the Beacons' second extra-inning contest of the season and UMass Boston's longest game since April 14, 2009, when the Beacons defeated the University of Southern Maine 3-1 in nine innings. The Beacons' road victory marked their first victory in five tries, after UMass Boston was swept in the first two road doubleheaders.
Lauren Mitsiaris (Taunton, Mass.) paced the Beacons with three hits and a pair of runs batted in, including the game-winning single in game one. Junior Lyndsey Capra (Lowell, Mass.) added three hits, a run scored and a run batted in, while pitcher Michelle Zullo (Everett, Mass.) recorded her sixth victory of the season in the longest performance of her career.
Game One: UMass Boston 3, Curry College (9 Innings)
After giving up two one-run leads over the final three innings, Mitsiaris gave the Beacons' their final lead of the game with an RBI single to center field that plated Gia Raczkowski (Stoneham, Mass.).
Kaitlyn Morse (Arlington, Mass.) led the Beacons with a pair of hits and a run scored, while Mitsiaris, Capra and Raczkowski each recorded an RBI.
Zullo threw one of the best games of her season, as the Everett, Mass. native allowed just six hits and one earned run over nine complete innings. She finished one strike out off her career-high with seven strikeouts, and walked three batters.
After a scoreless opening three frames, UMass Boston got on the board first, against Curry ace Taylor Ahearn. Morse opened the inning with a bunt single and moved over to third base on an Erika Vecchiet (Pequannock, N.J.) single to right field. Raczkowski followed with a sacrifice fly to right to give UMB a 1-0 lead.
The Colonels finally got to Zullo in the bottom of the sixth inning, as cleanup hitter Marissa Bruno hit a one-out home run to tie the game at 1-1.
UMass Boston took the lead back to start extra-innings, as Capra doubled to center field, to plate Jillian Shepherd (Norwood, Mass.) who started the inning at second base.
Curry managed to scratch across a run of their own in the bottom half of the inning to tie the game at 2-2. With two runners on and two outs, Zullo unleashed a wild pitch to score the runner from third, before forcing a ground out to get out of the inning.
The Beacons took their third and final lead of the contest in the ninth. With two runners on and one out, Mitsiaris singled up the middle to score Raczkowski. Mitsiaris stole second to put two runners in scoring position, but Ahearn forced two groundouts, to keep the deficit at 3-2.
Zullo followed with a one, two, three bottom of the ninth inning to earn her 23rd career victory.
Game Two: Curry College 6, UMass Boston 4
Curry College turned the tables on the Beacons in the second contest, as the Colonels scored the final six runs of the game to earn a 6-4 comeback victory.
UMass Boston scored two runs in the second and one each in the fourth and fifth innings to leap out to a 4-0 lead. The Colonels answered back with four in the fifth and two in the sixth, to improve to 11-5 at home.
Capra and Mitsiaris each registered two hits in the loss, while Kelsey Svenson (Oxford, Conn.) came across to score on two occasions. Haley Dutton (Milton, Mass.), Emily Gray (New Bedford, Mass.), Vecchiet and Mitsiaris all posted one RBI.
Amy Nolan, Ariel LaRosa and Kaitlyn Maderios engineered the comeback for the Colonels, by finishing a combined 4-for-10 with two runs scored and six RBI.
The Beacons scratched across two runs in the second inning on one hit and a pair of Colonels' errors. With the bases loaded and one out, Gray helped herself by singling to right field to score Svenson. Dutton followed with an RBI groundout to give UMB an early 2-0 lead.
Mitsiaris pushed the lead to 3-0 in the fourth inning, when she plated Svenson with an RBI single, after Svenson led off the inning with a double.
UMass Boston added another run in the fifth thanks to Capra's team-leading sixth triple of the season. The junior center fielder came home to score one batter later, when Vecchiet reached on an error by the shortstop.
After struggling to get anything going against Gray in the first four frames, Curry College struck for four runs in the bottom of the fifth.
LaRosa and Madeiros hit back-to-back two-run base hits to chase Gray and tie the game at 4-4.
Gray threw 4.2 innings, while allowing four runs, one earned. She was replaced by Shepherd who was charged with the loss, after giving up three hits and two earned runs in 1.1 innings.
With two outs and two runners on in the bottom of the sixth, Nolan belted a two-run double off of Shepherd to give Curry their first lead of the day at 6-4.
The Beacons put two runners in scoring position with two down in the top of the seventh, but McKenna Barlow struck out Svenson swinging to end the game.
UMass Boston will be back in action Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. when they travel to the University of Southern Maine for a Little East Conference doubleheader.

NHL DRAFT: Who could go Number 1?by Mike G. Morreale / Philadelphia Flyers
The Philadelphia Flyers and the Wells Fargo Center will welcome the 2014 NHL Draft to Philadelphia for the first time on Fri., June 27 and Sat., June 28. NHL club executives, scouts and coaches will be present on the Draft floor while thousands of fans, prospects and media personnel from across the country and around the world will be in attendance. The Draft offers the opportunity for hockey fans to witness
the beginning of the careers of the latest NHL stars.
NOTE: The Flyers hold the 17th overall pick in the first round of the Draft.
In a year when projecting the best player eligible for the 2014 NHL Draft might be as stern a challenge as it's ever been, Kingston Frontenacs center Samuel Bennett was the desired choice from start to finish in the minds of the gurus at NHL Central Scouting.
Bennett, considered the top player by Central Scouting in its midterm ranking in January, again is No. 1 on the final list of the top draft-eligible skaters in North America. Central Scouting released its final rankings of the top North American and European skaters and goalies.
Rounding out the top five in North America are: No. 2 Aaron Ekblad of the Barrie Colts; No. 3 Sam Reinhart of the Kootenay Ice; No. 4 Leon Draisaitl of the Prince Albert Raiders; and No. 5 Michael Dal Colle of the Oshawa Generals.
Ekblad, who might be the only sure thing as the first defenseman taken off the draft board, and Reinhart, a center, each moved up one spot from the midterm; Draisaitl, a center, dropped two spots from No. 2 to No. 4. Dal Colle, a left wing, remained at No. 5.
The scouts found no reason to move the 6-foot, 178-pount, left-shooting Bennett from his perch at the top. Considered by many to be a clone of Kingston general manager and Hockey Hall of Fame member Doug Gilmour, Bennett finished with career highs across the board in goals (36), assists (55), points (91), power-play goals (10), plus-minus rating (plus-34) and penalty minutes (118).
He was the top vote-getter in three categories in the Ontario Hockey League's Eastern Conference Coaches Poll: Smartest player, best playmaker and best stick-handler. He also was voted third for best defensive forward.
"There are guys who elevate their game when it matters most, and you're looking to project which players will do that consistently at the next level," NHL Director of Central Scouting Dan Marr said. "The guys we have at the top all are in that mold, but when we look at Sam Bennett we see a guy who could potentially have a Jonathan Toews type of career."
Ekblad, who also finished with career highs in goals (23), assists (30), points (53) and penalty minutes (91) in his third OHL season, earned first-place finishes in the Eastern Conference Coaches Poll for best shot, hardest shot, best offensive defenseman and best defensive defenseman. He also was voted second in the category of best penalty killer.
"I am always hesitant to label as a sure thing any young athlete as they have enough pressure on them as it is, but I would describe Ekblad as one of the most solid NHL prospects you will find in this year's draft class," Marr said. "He is the best defenseman available and would be projected to vie for an NHL job a lot sooner than most."
Reinhart, who had 36 goals and 105 points in 60 regular-season games, is the son of former NHL defenseman Paul Reinhart, who played 11 seasons with the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks. He also has two successful hockey-playing brothers. Max Reinhart was a third-round pick (No. 63) of the Flames in 2010 and Griffin Reinhart was selected No. 4 by the New York Islanders in 2012.
"I would compare Reinhart to Adam Oates; he's a very cerebral player who takes what's given to him," Central Scouting's B.J. MacDonald said. "He probably has the highest hockey IQ of any player in this draft and he knows where to go with the puck, even before he even gets it."
Draisaitl finished in a fourth-place tie with Reinhart for the Western Hockey League scoring crown with 105 points (38 goals, 67 assists) in 64 regular-season games.
"What sets Draisaitl apart from other prospects is his ability to protect the puck. He's very Jaromir Jagr-like in that sense," MacDonald said. "He's got that same style. He'll connect with guys coming in late and hold onto that puck until the right play is there. He's got a great wrist shot and snap shot and has surprised a lot of goalies."
Dal Colle, who had 39 goals and 95 points in 67 games for the Generals, finished second in the OHL Eastern Conference Coaches Poll in the categories of best stick-handler and best playmaker.
"Michael has quietly gone about his business; never flashy but always good," Central Scouting's Chris Edwards said. "He kills penalties, plays the point on the power play and is as versatile a player as they come. For a big guy [6-1, 182], he's smooth and can score big goals. He's going to be a really good pro."
Among the top 30 skaters, 14 were from the OHL, nine from the WHL, five from the United States Hockey League and two from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
Central Scouting listed 23 forwards and seven defensemen among its first-round projections, including three players who were outside the top 30 at the midterm -- center Ryan MacInnis of the Kitchener Rangers (No. 33 up to No. 20), center John Quenneville of the Brandon Wheat Kings (No. 34 to No. 23) and left wing Brendan Lemieux of Barrie (No. 38 to No. 28).
The player given the biggest promotion in the early rounds is No. 39 Hunter Smith, a 6-6, 208-pound right wing from the Generals. Ranked 140th on Central Scouting's midterm release, Smith had 16 goals (seven power-play goals) and 40 points in 64 regular season games.
"He's made himself into a player," Edwards said of Smith. "He came into the league as a role-type of player and worked hard to develop his skill set. He's one of the toughest guys in the league but complements that with good puck-handling and passing ability. Big guys who are tough and skilled are very valuable in the NHL."
The top-ranked American-born player on the list is No. 12 Alex Tuch (Baldwinsville, N.Y.) of the United States National Team Development Program under-18 team in the USHL. Tuch (6-3, 213) had 28 goals, 60 points, seven power-play goals and 56 penalty minutes in 53 games. The Boston College recruit is a prototypical power forward.
"He's a big body and that's something you can't teach," Central Scouting's Greg Rajanen said. "He's got some grit to his game, is good around the net and physical. If you're in need of a power forward, Tuch's your man."
The top-ranked U.S. high school player is No. 42 Luc Snuggerud of Eden Prairie High School in Minnesota. Snuggerud (6-foot, 180), a senior defenseman, had nine goals and 46 points in 28 games for the Eagles. He earned the 2014 Reed Larson Award as the top senior boys' high school hockey defenseman in Minnesota and had 19 goals and 108 points in 81 career games.
Snuggerud is committed to the University of Nebraska-Omaha for 2014-15.
There was no change at the top of Central Scouting's final rankings of North American goalies as Boston College freshman Thatcher Demko retained the No. 1 spot. Rounding out the top five were Mason McDonald of the Charlottetown Islanders (QMJHL), Brent Moran of the Niagara IceDogs (OHL), Alex Nedeljkovic of the Plymouth Whalers (OHL) and Kevin Reich of the Dubuque Fighting Saints (USHL).
The top five skaters on Central Scouting's final European ranking are forwards: No. 1 Kasperi Kapanen of Kalpa in Finland; No. 2 William Nylander of Modo in Sweden; No. 3 Kevin Fiala of HV 71 Jr. in Sweden's junior division; No. 4 Jakub Vrana of Linkoping in Sweden; and No. 5 David Pastrnak of Sodertalje in Sweden's second division.

Public support for an $11 billion water bond has plummeted over the past year, suggesting that despite an improving economy, Californians are unwilling to help pay for big-ticket items like Gov. Jerry Brown's plan to fix the Delta.
Public support for an $11 billion water bond has plummeted over the past year, suggesting that despite an improving economy, Californians are unwilling to help pay for big-ticket items like Gov. Jerry Brown's plan to fix the Delta.
The bond, scheduled to go before voters in 2014, contains billions to restore the Delta. It would not pay directly for Brown's proposed twin tunnels but could fund other aspects of the plan and thus pave the way for construction, Delta advocates argue.
Forty-two percent of likely voters would support the bond today, compared with 51 percent a year ago, according to a new poll by the Public Policy Institute of California.
That's a "significant" decline, said Mark Baldassare, president of the San Francisco-based institute.
The poll found support for high-speed rail at 43 percent, similar to last year.
"As much as people say they think it's important we deal with water and high-speed rail, they like to see if there might be some way to reduce the price tag," Baldassare said Wednesday.
Californians are expressing a "big reluctance toward big-ticket items," he added, likely because of so many recent concerns at the federal level about debt ceilings and deficits.
Talks in Sacramento are already under way to rework the water bond, which passed the Legislature in 2009 but has been held back from voters. Stockton-based Restore the Delta has called for a slimmed-down bond that would make far-flung reaches of California less reliant on the Delta.
A coalition of Delta counties has also urged the state to first use billions of dollars remaining from already-approved bonds.
The urban and agricultural water agencies that stand to benefit would pay for construction of the tunnels. But public money will be needed to implement other aspects of the ambitious plan, which seeks to both stabilize a primary source of water for two-thirds of the state and restore the Delta's environment.
Last week, in unveiling the latest draft of the twin tunnels plan, an official with the state Department of Water Resources said passing a water bond would be a "great start" toward funding the plan.

The first generation Wi-Fi launched 15 years ago brought forth wireless LAN (WLAN) applications, and the newer Wi-Fi standards that ensued have been providing faster transmission to notebooks, smartphones, and tablets. Over the past few years, Wi-Fi has even become available to consumer electronics and peripherals.
In terms of the emerging home applications, however, Wi-Fi 802.11g and 802.11n in the existing 2.4GHz band can no longer meet the requirement for HD streaming video transmission. As a result, 5G Wi-Fi - faster than 1 Gbps - is forthcoming.
Wireless video transmission expedited by 5G Wi-Fi
The trademark of 5G Wi-Fi can be noticed at the exhibition halls of Computex 2012 and on the shuttle buses for the event. This is what Michael Hurlston said at his key note speech for "Computex Taipei Digitimes Tech Forum 2012 - Mobile Technology." Hurlston is Senior Vice President and General Manager of Wireless Combo Connectivity Line of Business, Broadcom. He also noted 5G Wi-Fi-related products exhibited by some companies at Computex.
Why is there the 5G Wi-Fi standard? What are the benefits of the standard? According to Hurlston, Wi-Fi dominates all the applications of digital home devices and every consumer needs Wi-Fi. According to a Broadcom survey of about 1,000 people in America, 60% of the respondents said that they cannot do without Wi-Fi on any single day; 39% said that they are willing to give up drinking coffee for one month in exchange for Wi-Fi; and 50% are willing to give up Facebook for one month in exchange for Wi-Fi.
Videos amounted to 29.5% of the global network traffic in 2009, and the percentage increased to 42.7% and 53.6% respectively in 2010 and 2011, but the explosive growth of videos is just beginning. According to VNI's statistics and forecast in June 2011, more than 50% of the global network packet traffic comes from video transmission and network streaming traffic alone exceeds 1 ExaBytes. By 2015, the percentage of online video traffic is expected to exceed 91% and 7 ExaBytes, four times of the traffic in 2012.
Prevalent Wi-Fi for PC, mobile devices, and consumer electronics
According to Hurlston, as online video traffic is on the rise globally, the types of devices for online video viewing have started to change. According to a Sandvine Broadband Report in October 2011, 90% of online video viewing used to rely on desktops and 10% used to rely on game consoles, smart TV, set-top boxes (STBs), tablet devices, and smartphones, but now only 45% rely on desktops while 55% rely on game consoles, smart TV, set-top boxes, tablet devices, smartphones, and other mobile devices.
He noted the ongoing increase of Wi-Fi applications and types of Wi-Fi devices. In 2008, Wi-Fi was built in on smartphones, notebooks and game consoles, but since then built-in Wi-Fi has been expanding to smart TV, set-top boxes, vehicle electronics and entertainment systems. The number of Wi-Fi built-in devices around the world is expected to exceed 3.2 billions in 2012, and then smart meters, e-healthcare devices, remote control helicopters, and even refrigerators as well as laundry machines will have Wi-Fi built in. The number of Wi-Fi built-in devices around the world is expected to exceed five billions by 2014.
When Wi-Fi 801.11n - the mainstream standard at present - was introduced in 2007, continuous transmission of massive streaming videos of high definition as required by today's mobile devices and consumer electronics had not been expected. As a result, 5G Wi-Fi is the only solution now.
Wi-Fi evolution and technology advancement
According to Hurlston, from 1997 to 1998, speed of the 1st-generation Wi-Fi 802.11 was only 2Mbps. From 1999 to 2001, the 2nd-generation Wi-Fi 802.11b accelerated wireless transmission to 11Mbps. From 2002 to 2006, the 3rd-generation Wi-Fi 802.11g/a increased it to 54Mbps. From 2007 to 2011, the 4th-generation Wi-Fi 802.11n raised the limit to 600Mbps (4 channels). The current limit is 450Mbps (3 channels).
The 5G Wi-Fi 802.11ac launched in 2012 enables single-channel transmission at 450Mbps, three times of 150Mbps of 802.11n. At present, 802.11ac supports four MIMO channels (1.8Gbps) and will support up to eight MIMO channels. Therefore, the mainstream design of three transreceiver antennas for MIMO may reach 1.35Gbps. 5G Wi-Fi 802.11ac is also compatible with 802.11n (2.4GHz/5Ghz).
Hurlston pointed out the features of 5G Wi-Fi as the following:
(1) Highest speed of streaming video transmission.
(2) Higher capacity for networking of more devices.
(3) Wider network coverage that is three to four times of the existing 802.11n to reduce dead spots.
(4) A longer battery life resulting from faster transmission that shortens the time required for high power consumption. At present, 5G Wi-Fi is able to concurrent transmit three HD 1080p streaming videos.
HD streaming video playing evidenced by 5G Wi-Fi device demo
Hurlston also invited a Broadcom colleague for a 5G Wi-Fi device demonstration. The colleague unveiled three large-size LCD TVs on the stage. The three TVs played Iron Man, Lorax, and John Carter respectively, using Broadcom's 5G Wi-Fi chip-based wireless multimedia gateway to concurrently play three full HD 1080p videos by wireless transmission without any delay. Concurrent output of four full HD videos is also doable.
In terms of file transmission, 5G Wi-Fi enables less packet synchronizations than Wi-Fi 802.11n. It was clocked onsite that transmission of a video of more than 900MB by a 5G Wi-Fi device took only 33-40% of time required for transmission by a 802.11n device. 5G Wi-Fi - because of its speediness and power efficiency - is very suitable for mobile device video transmission.
Available products and applications
According to Hurlston, Broadcom debuted its 5G Wi-Fi chipset at CES 2012. The dual-band chipset, which supports 2.4G/5GHz and meets the 802.11ac standard, has won support from wireless network equipment suppliers. Netgear has been the first company supporting 802.11n/802.11ac by launching its A6200 USB adapter as well as R6200 and R6300 wireless routers. Other wireless router and multimedia bridge products launched later to support 5G Wi-Fi include Buffalo AC1300, Air Station WZR-D1800H, and WLI-H4-D300H. Broadcom has become the first ever 5G Wi-Fi equipment supplier in the physical market.
The China-based Datang Telecom Technology has announced its 5G Wi-Fi access device adoption. Asustek Computer has announced its RT-AC66U router across 2.4G/5G with the 2.4G band (802.11n) supporting transmission at 400Mbps and the 5G band (802.11ac) supporting transmission at 1,350Mbps. A total bandwidth of 1,750Mbps is available for transmission. Hurlston also mentioned the availability of upcoming wireless routers such as D-Link DIR-865L, Belkin AC1000 and AC1200, Tenda W1800R, and EDIMAX BR-6673AC.
Hurlston noted that a complete 5G Wi-Fi ecosystem is being established, for example, ASUS G75VW shown at Computex is the world's first ever gaming notebook with 5G Wi-Fi built in and ASUS P8Z77V motherboard also has 5G Wi-Fi built in.
According to Hurlston, the core products with 5G Wi-Fi built in for the first half of 2012 are wireless routers and notebooks, and there will be backbone devices of wireless routers each equipped with two or three antennas in the second half of this year. In the first half of 2013, 5G Wi-Fi will become available to desktops, laptops, smart TV, and set-top boxes. In the second half of the year, it will become available to every type of mobile devices including smart phones, tablets, game consoles, and digital cameras.
It is Hurlston's expectation that there will be more choices of 5G Wi-Fi applications and devices to provide better experiences. The latest 5G Wi-Fi guidelines and industry news are available at: http://www.5gwifi.org/

Aston Villa have slapped a price tag of £19million on winger Stewart Downing, it is believed.
Villa have rejected a second bid - of around £15m - for the England international from Liverpool.
New Villa manager Alex McLeish would like to keep hold of Downing after losing the services of Ashley Young to Manchester United.
But if the player is to leave, Villa will hold out for what they consider to be a fair price for the former Middlesbrough player.
A source close to Villa said: "The club have made it known what they regard as a fair price for Stewart Downing, if he is to be sold."
Liverpool had an initial offer of around £12m turned down for Downing - the price Villa paid for him when he moved from Boro two years ago.
Downing has two years remaining of his contract but made it clear last month that he would not be signing a new deal at this juncture.
He told said: "My agent had a meeting with the club - just one meeting - and he just felt it was the right time not to sign my contract.
"I've still got two years to go, so I've still got a long time to go, so I just decided to leave it as it is.
"Will I be at Villa next season? I'm not sure."
Downing is due to report to pre-season training on Friday with Villa.
He endured an injury-hit first campaign after signing for them when still recovering from a broken foot.
But last season Downing was in outstanding form and was Villa's player of the year.

Home Security
A white-haired woman came home from work, opened the front door of her tree-shaded brick house in an affluent suburb and found the place in mild disarray. Alarmed, but unthinking, she hurried through the house. The portable color TV was missing from its stand. The camera was gone from the front hall closet. The suitcases were not in the storage room. Her husband arrived just then, and they called the police.
After a little investigation, the police learned that the working couple were out of the house every day, that the front door and "maybe the backdoor" were locked, and that the victims didn't know all that was missing.
Further investigation turned up one appalling clue- the woman next door had called a taxi for two men with suitcases. The neighbor said she had never seen the men before and just figured they were from the Salvation Army or someplace taking old things away, and maybe their truck broke down.'
This incident, absurd but true, illustrates how brazen burglars have become and how they are helped by the average householder's negligence and naivete. City dwellers have long since been made forcibly aware of burglars. But suburban and small-town residents, which perhaps most H&S families are. have only recently come to realize that burglars also hit close to home—one out of every 45 American homes, according to an estimate made by the 3M Company's security division.
Burglary ranks first of all crimes in this country and is widening its lead. The

Retro, chic, stupid, fashionable, all of the above? The JC-U1906T gamepad from Elecom is essentially all of that. It has a nice NES controller feel but with worse buttons that seem to be labeled in some kind of unknown language. The only buttons that are understandable are "Auto" and "Clear" and everyone knows those buttons are crucial for PC gaming. This might be a good pad if you are a emulator whore who really needs to feel retro-like, but for anyone else, just stick to a traditional gamepad, or better yet, the Xbox 360 controller.

If you could help that would be great!
The XAML line with visibility for the chart is as follows
<chartingToolkit:Chart Visibility="{Binding BrightnessValueList, Converter={StaticResource nonEmptyCollectionToVisibilityConverter}, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" Height="218" Margin="0,0,20,127" x:Name="columnChart" Title="Star Brightness" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Grid.Column="2">
My converter is called once when the application starts up and then not again. The converter is doing its job. I just need it called when items are added to the ObservableCollection :
this.BrightnessValueList.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, double>(focuserMotorStepPosition.ToString("00000"), starMaxBrightness));
BrightnessValueList is defined as follows:
public ObservableCollection<KeyValuePair<string, double>> BrightnessValueList {get; set; }
If more information is needed, just let me know. I thought the PropertyChanged was supposed to be raised with the converter being called when the "Count" property of the ObservableCollection changes (i.e. when adding an item in my case).
Thanks for looking!

I have bad knees, so I bought these poles because of their reviews. It's the first time I ever used trekking poles and I found them incredibly lightweight, comfortable, and easy to use. I've used them a few times now, and they are holding up well.

January 2010 - Newsletter 93
There are those out there who still refer to us as 'The Boys', which is very flattering and affectionate of them but, perhaps, not very observant. I'm afraid the term no longer applies and hasn't done for some while unless you are talking about the 'Old Boys of the Village'.
Rumours of our demise/retirement/break up etc. have cropped up many times in the past and I suppose once people stop talking about you then you are old hat as well as being old boys. When Bob left at Christmas in 1979 the jungle telegraph worked overtime but in fact he had given us a years notice and we are still friends to this day. That's the way we do things in Dorset. So here's the goods, straight from the Yetties mouth.
We are planning a final weekend celebration in Sherborne at The Digby Hall on the 8th/9th and 10th of April 2011. There will be a Ceilidh on the Friday night, a Concert on the Saturday and on the Sunday afternoon a gathering to have a chat, a cup of tea, maybe a slice of Dorset Apple Cake and, if you wish a chance to buy a piece of Yetties memorabilia.
2010 will therefore be our last full year of touring and, I have a feeling, it will be a busy one once word gets around. I am already taking bookings for spring 2011
Although this will be the end of The Yetties as such I'm sure it won't be the end of our involvement in Music. Pete will carry on with his performances and teaching and I will carry on working for Halsway Manor and doing my concerts, talks etc.
In the spring of 2011 it will be approaching 45 years since we took that fateful step of attempting to make a living from our music. Kipping rough to start with and touring the country, before the motorways criss-crossed Britain, in beat up old Humbers. It's going to be a bit of heart wrenching year. Visiting towns and venues for the last time and performing to many friends who have been extremely loyal, some of them for decades.
Passing Comments
In November we went to the village of Alderholt on the Dorset/Hampshire border to perform. To be absolutely honest neither Pete, Mac not I recalled playing there before but it turned out that we had previously visited the village in 1971. We discovered this when one, lady after the show, admitted she had come along out of curiosity. She was 37 years old and apparently her grandmother had kept on to her, when she was small, about this band, The Yetties, that that had come to Alderholt the year before she was born. We obviously made quite an impression on grandma and we must have done all right this time around as well because they haven't waited another 38 years to book us. We are going back this year.
After a show at the Dorchester Corn Exchange a few months ago a gentleman crept up to Pete & Mac and said, 'Do you realise that in 30 years time most of your audience will be dead.' At first I think they were a bit perplexed but then decided that we wouldn't be in any position to worry about it.
LPs to CD
Soon after I'd written the last Newsletter and announced that I had finished putting the last of the LPs onto the computer someone asked me for a copy of the double album Focus On The Yetties which I had completely forgotten. It's taken me a while but I have now got there and if you would like copies the price for the 2 CD set is £10. The tracks are as follows. CD1 Dorset is Beautiful; Gypsy Rover; Towersey Fair; Fiddlers Green; The Broadside Man; Granny's Old Armchair; The Three Billy Goats Gruff; (with Toni Arthur); Bread & Fishes; A Roving Take Your Time; The Peat Bog Soldiers; Jackie Tar/The Matelot; When The Piddletrenthide Jug Band Hit The Charts; Homeward Bound. CD2 Cigareetes & Whusky & Wild, Wild Women; The Dancers of Stanton Drew; I Touched Her on the Toe; The D Day Dodgers; Lord of the Dance; Beau Psaltery; Sweet Bells; The Sound of the Drum; Trelawney; Hornpipe Medley; Buttercup Joe; The Exmoor Hunt Song; Round Britain Medley; The Village Band.
A couple of the tracks only appeared in singles before Focus On was made. Decca used to pop them out occasionally to get us air play on Radio 2. Sometimes they wouldn't even tell us they were doing it!!
The other LPs available on CD are:
50 Stone of Loveliness 1969 Who's A'fear'd 1970 Keep A Runnin' 1970 Our Friends 1971 The World of Irish Dancing 1971 Dorset is Beautiful 1972 Mornin' All (backing Bob Arnold, Tom Forrest of the Archers) 1972 All at Sea 1973 Up in Arms (with Sherborne Town Band) 1974 The Yetties of Yetminster 1975 The World of The Yetties 1975 Let's Have a Party 1975 The Village Band (with Sherborne Town Band) 1976 Up Market 1977 Dorset Style 1978 In Concert 1979 A Little Bit of Dorset 1981 A Proper Job 1981 Cider & Song 1983 The Sound of Cricket (with John Arlott) 1984 The Yetties 1986
There's not room in the Newsletter to put every track for all these LPs but I do have lists I can e mail to you or post if you are interested. Tel. 01935 814611 or write to PO Box 3, Sherborne, Dorset, DT9 3AL.
I don't keep the CDs in stock but give me a couple of days and I will make them for you. The cost is £6 per CD (including post & packing). Cheques to The Yetties please at the PO Box.
Yetties LPs
If you don't want to go the CD route or would like to collect the LPs as well then I have now, due to peoples' generosity, managed to gather together quite a selection again. I sell these to raise money for Halsway Manor Library. Cynthia and I have been able to virtually run the library on the funds accumulated by these sales. We have cleaned up and, when necessary, repaired over 4000 books and entered them on the database at the Manor. Then, of course, there are the 78s, cassettes, LPs, CDs, videos, DVDs etc. It's a job for life and your help is much appreciated. I have the following in stock:
Keep a Runnin' Our Friends The World of Irish Dancing Dorset Is Beautiful All At Sea The World of The Yetties Up In Arms The Village Band The Yetties of Yetminster Let's Have a Party Up Market In Concert Proper Job A Little Bit of Dorset The Yetties Dorset Style
We sell these for £6 each including post and packing. Cheques to Halsway Manor Society Ltd. via the PO Box
Along the River Piddle
Copies of this film have gone all over the place and the name, in foreign parts, causes a bit of stir. I think some people have purchased it just for the novelty value and then decided they liked it. One traveller from Australia actually took in the Piddle Valley during his holiday over here so that he could sup a pint of Piddle Beer. He then cajoled the landlord into giving him a quantity of beer mats to take back to Oz. He has now scattered them liberally in his local bar much to the delight of his drinking pals
Yetminster Fair
Several people have already asked me for the date for Yetminsters big day. It is Saturday 10th of July. Best make a note in your diaries now.
The Newsletter
This was first published back in 1973 when a lady called Peta Archer, with the help of Jim Lloyd, our manager at the time, decided to form a club entitled 'Friends of The Yetties' and provide a news sheet for all the members. The original publicity for the club reads like this:
Dear Friends,
Our aim in Friends of The Yetties is to keep in closer contact with the many friends we have made over the years, to keep each other informed as to what is going on, to supply members with Yetties 'goodies' at a reduced rate and, we hope, to organise events for members.
Membership is £1.50 per annumand for this you get 4 Yettiletters each year, a date sheet of concerts, a signed 10" x 8" picture of The Yetties, a membership card, badge and details of goodies. Family membership (with individual membership cards) is £2.
We were always good value for money!!!!!!
I remember we also had car stickers printed following the 'I've seen the Lions of Longleat' theme with 'I've seen the Yetties of Yetminster' on them. They must be very collectable but perhaps not as collectable as the cars they were stuck on.
Mystery Gifts
Many thanks to the person who decked the stage with Ferraro Roche chocolates for me and grapes for Richard Helson at Sherborne. I'm not sure what Mac and Pete did to miss out but perhaps they had a quick kiss instead.

I read a lot about current events in the IT business and I and love to learn about new tools.
But one thing I've realized is that it is important to put my foot down from time to time and actually use the information.
Every action you take has an opportunity cost. For example, the time spent learning something could be spent doing something.
Taking action is a good way to test if something actually works in reality. For example: You might read about a cool new web design technique, but unless you try it out then it's hard to actually know:
a) if it works for you
b) if it works well
c) if it is something that could actually benefit you
And so on.
We can learn a lot by studying, but we can only test the things we learn by taking action.
Learning is a personal investment — and a very important one — but it is important to remember that taking action is what ultimately moves us forward.
Learning is fun and can be relatively easy. Taking action requires more effort and can be quite hard. But the benefits of taking action and moving toward one's goals can often make the effort worthwhile.
