I posted a table at http://www.charlieelk.com/2014/2013-wis ... -kill/2013 containing the preliminary turkey numbers.
2013 total 4,633, this is about 30% fewer than the fall of 2012 - 6,933
The spring was down about the same percent. We all blamed the weather. But this fall was mostly good weather. Hope there is not a problem in the turkey woods. A couple of turkeys I shot had tumor like growths in their crops and were under weight. Never had seen growths like that in turkeys, wish my camera had been with. I always remove the crops in the field to prevent gamey flavor in the breast meat.
The turkey population has been very high here and nature has a way of pushing large populations down. Thoughts?

Burbank Target's crappy distribution status continues, as it fills the pegs... with more Wave 1. Haven't seen a single dreg of Wave 2 there, yet. They got some BPs in, couple Hoth Patrol and one each of the Speeder Bike sets.
Still no sign of any comic packs there, just the same three Koffi/Bultars that've been there for weeks.
They DID finally have some of the little DC figures, but only a few.
Here's the Falcon repaint link: http://threads.rebelscum.com/showfla...348381#3346071
There's two Falcons at Target. Go grab some paints at Michael's just down the lot from it, and get to work!
Found DC Universe new figures. Got Green Lantern (Probly the best GL ever!), Nightwing and Robin. Another collector beat me to the Deathstroke unmasked variant and Sinestro (damn!). If anyone sees those two and are not interested, please stash. I don't care if it's the regular masked Deathstroke. I want the parts to complete Salomon Grundy!
I found the the 5 DC universe guys too this morning at Target , didnt know which ones were variants.
Target's also put the $7.99 tags back on all the SW pegs, though right now only the Clone Wars figures are actually scanning at that price. Not sure about Saga Legends, but nobody really cares about them anyway
Still no sign of Wave 2 there, or any CPs. I looked through the full Indy pegs and, predictably, at least 2.5 of the 4 pegs are Mutts. 2 Sallahs, 2 Russians, 1 Marion, 1 KOTCS Hat, 1 KOTCS RPG, 1 Monkey Man, and... that's it. Time for a rep to take all the Mutts back home to be melted into scrap for future figures that WILL sell.
Found Dc Universe wave 3 this morning at manhattan beach target. Picked up hal jordan, Robin, Nightwing, Deathstroke, and Sinestro variant. Stashed an extra Hal Jordan, PM for details!
I picked the wrong morning to arrive at Target at 8:20am, all the DCUC wave 3 were gone when i got there.

All breeds of dogs have conditions that are common to their particular breed, and the bulldog is no different. Many conditions are in direct relation to the characteristics considered desirable in the breed.
Entropion. An abnormal rolling in of the eyelid see corneal ulcers. Stitch skin so lashes don't rub.
Cherry Eye. A condition where the third eyelid is protruding. It may be stiched in place or removed as a last resort.
Cataract. A change in structure of the lens of the eye leading to cloudiness and usually to blindness.
Dry Eye. Can lead to corneal ulcers and cherry eyes if untreated.
Persistent pupillary membrane. A developmental abnormality where the membrane forming the iris does not form properly.
Skin Acne. Same thing as in humans, affects the muzzle and lip areas.
Fold dermatitis. An inflammation of skin folds especially in dogs with loose skin. Bulldogs are especially susceptible in the face and tail areas.
Cleft lip. A condition where the two halves of the upper lip do not join together. Cleft palate and cleft lip are often seen together.
Cleft palate. A condition where the roof of the mouth is not closed and the inside of the nose opens into the mouth.
Hip dysplasia. A developmental malformation or subluxation of the hip joints. Causes movement to be painful in its most severe form.
Breathing problems in Bulldogs, chronic airway obstruction
Chronic Airway Obstruction (brachycephalic syndrome). The importance of this condition cannot be overemphasized. There are billions and billions of cells in the Bulldog's body and each one of these is forced to live a substandard existence, if the oxygen supply to them is impaired. There are treatments for this condition, see your vet. Chronic Airway Obstruction (C.A.O.) is very common in all short-faced (brachycephalic) breeds e.g. Bulldog, French Bulldog, Pug and occasionally seen in other breeds.
Elongated soft palate. The soft palate is abnormally long and causes breathing disorders.
Overheating in Bulldogs
The Bulldog's heat tolerance is a lot worse, than that of human's. Dogs do not have sweat glands all over their bodies. They can sweat only through their pads and they can dissipate heat effectively through panting. Bulldogs suffering from chronic airway obstruction cannot pant freely and that is why they often die of overheating (hyperthermia). Corrective surgery performed in time can prevent a lot of faintings and unexpected deaths at summer dog shows and at home alike.
A Word About Wrinkles
Bulldog's face is certainly covered with wrinkles and that is his trademark for sure. This is a trademark that requires daily care to keep him comfortable and healthy. Mild soap (hibicleans or similar soap like you would use on your own face that is gentle) will work fine for cleaning out between his wrinkles. Get a damp wash cloth and put some soap on it and clean good around and under those wrinkles making sure not to get any in his eyes. You should dry the area good and apply either a gold bond, corn starch or similar powder to the area. If its irritated you may consider using a good cream such as Desitin cream. It may even be required for you to clean 2 times a day those wrinkles depending on how dirty or irritated they are.
Cleaning the Tail Area
This should be done in a about the same way as above with wrinkles. It is very much a part of the bulldog hygiene. When cleaning the tail area or tail pocket make sure to use a soft cloth and get in there real good and clean it, you should get out lots of hairs and keep this area clean and powdered as well. A bulldogs tail may be tightly packed against his back side and can be a real problem if not taken care of and cleaned on a daily or every other day. Remember that a severly infected tail is painful and may need to be removed in some cases, so its very good to keep this area cleaned well!
Tear Stains and Dry Nose
There are a few products on the market that are made for cleaning tear stains. There are some commercial ones you can get at your pet store, or you can ask your vet what he reccomends or may have for this. There are also home made remedies like peroxide and corn starch made into a paste, applied and then removed, followed by a desitin cream being applied for protection. You should also keep the area around your dogs eyes wiped off and cleaned and if its been dusty around your home you may want to apply a few eye drops to his eyes a few times a week so they do not get irritated. If his nose is real dry a light coat of vaseline will help soften it and protect it from cracking. Consult your vet for more info!

Dockers D3 Hose twill beige
Dockers Men's Pant
Art.No.: 40758-0055
Details on Dockers D3 twill beige
Dockers D3 twill beige are an all-rounders among trousers. They are perfect for leisure and work and can be combined quickly and easily. The matching colour of the double seams and the leather logo underline the charming look of these jeans.
Pants by Dockers
Above all, Dockers is famous and in demand for its comprehensive accessories collections. Because Dockers has been offering high-quality belts, bags, wallets and shoes since the end of the 1980s. But in the meantime, the subsidiary of Levi's has become famous for its trousers. This was also due to the fact that Dockers has expanded to Europe only in the middle of the 1990s. With success! Today, Dockers trousers are an integral part of almost every sophisticated wardrobe. Trousers for each trend – Dockers trousers In 2010, Dockers attracted quite a lot of attention with its catchy wearthepants advertising campaign. This slogan means more or less: just wear pants. And it's exactly this slogan that best expresses the company's philosophy. In case of Dockers, it's not primarily important to launch an extraordinary creation never been seen before and wearable on the most popular catwalks only.
Dockers wants to create garments you really want to wear. Here, the will to actually wear these trousers is tremendously emphasized. Clients should feel comfortable when wearing those trousers. And to such an extent that they can and want to wear them anytime. It's this philosophy that makes the brand immensely popular, particularly among sophisticated fashionistas. But it's also the desire for continuously creating new and amazing trends and to let these stand out from the masses. Dockers trousers are suitable for everyone, but yet they are individual and innovative to such an extent that they – despite of all their classic flair - always fall out of the fashion line. They can be combined with numerous trends and garments and transform the entire look as fast as lightning. This ensures that at Dockers each fashion fan will quickly find the fitting trousers to match their own taste. And moreover, no pair of trousers makes all clients look the same. Jeans.ch: fashion at its best at small prices Take a peek at the corresponding category of the Jeans.ch online shop and you will immediately face the variety of Dockers products.
Here, you will find a lot of trousers from the latest and partially also from the past Dockers collections. And among all the popular classics and basics, you will surely find one or two future trendsetters. But Jeans.ch offers far more than just high-quality and trendy trousers: At the same time, we want to offer inexpensive alternatives and our fair prices as well as occasional special offers ensure that the latest fashion does not necessarily have to be unaffordable.

April 27 to 29
I hope no other teams promise him a starting role upon signing a contract. I hope everyone lowballs him and he winds us resigning with the phins at a fair backup price. If we lose Matt Moore we will need to replace him. I dont think there is a more quality player to bring in a a backup QB than Matt Moore.
I hope he stays, he's one of my favorite dolphins. Class act too, how he accepted his backup role to Tannehill.
he is a career back up -- he can go in a throw some nice passes - he can sling the ball deep since he really has nothing too loose - 2 year 5 -6 million deal
Please stop making these threads. It just gives the mob more opportunity to hate.
If Moore would have been name the starter I can't help but think we would have finished with 3 more wins at least.
He didn't get an off season and was signed very late last season and see what he got done.
I really think he winds up with the Jets. He's the only available FA QB they can afford because of cap.
I think he will take a deal somewhere they promise him a chance to start.
He signs with someone that drafts a QB this year and starts until the RC is ready. Possibly for the entire season. He then goes back to being one of the better backups in the league... My guess is Arizona

Family: Lycaenidae, Gossamer-wing Butterflies view all from this family
Description The Eastern Tailed-blue or Eastern Tailed Blue (Cupido comyntas), also known as Everes comyntas, is a common butterfly of eastern North America. Males are generally blue on the upperside of their wings while females are lighter blue to brown or charcoal in coloring, but there are also varieties of purple and pink found in both sexes. The underside coloration ranges from bluish-white to tan. There are two or three (outermost one often faint) black to orange chevron-shaped spots on the rear of the hind wings and a trailing tail off the innermost of the spots. The butterfly is 21 to 29 mm (0.83 to 1.1 in) wide with wings outstretched and slightly shorter in length.
FemaleEastern Tailed-blue butterflies feed on various legumes and are known to secrete a substance which is favored by some ant species. The ant in turn protects the larva of the butterfly from other predators.
Dimensions 3/4-1" (19-25 mm).
Habitat The butterfly is common across eastern North America, and is found as far south as Central America. The Great Plains form a habitat boundary between the Eastern and the much less common but similar Western Tailed-blue butterfly. The central section of California and portions of the states of Oregon and Washington also has Eastern tailed blues, which likely adapted to the habitat after being brought there inadvertently by man. The species is virtually absent from the Rocky Mountain region. Often found in sunny, open habitat, the butterfly prefers clover, alfalfa and the seeds of various legumes.
Cities, suburbs & towns, Meadows & fields.
Range Eastern Canada, California, Northwest, Southwest, Rocky Mountains, Texas, Plains, Southeast, Western Canada, Great Lakes, Florida, Mid-Atlantic, New England.

The block is hot (like, stifling hot) and about to get hotter as the capital city's grandest music and dance festival — the eighth annual Sound Session — once again descends upon Downcity. Get ready to join approximately 10,000 partygoers around Roots Cafe and beyond, with multiple stages presenting and celebrating cultural diversity all weekend long.
Len Cabral is president of both Providence Inner City Arts (PICA) and the Roots Cultural Center, the principal folks to thank for keeping the festival alive and thriving since jumping onboard last year.
"Festivals are a beast to produce, but our ongoing relationship with staff and volunteers help make it easier," Cabral told me.
While the lineup boasts the typical wide-ranging variety of homegrown and international artists, there is a particular focus on family fun with the new Kid City, including workshops featuring CityArts for Youth. And be on the lookout for the Big Nazo crew offering a project-making workshop to be presented during the Saturday night procession.
"We approached the festival with a 'homegrown' theme this year," Cabral said. He also promised a few "surprises" along the way, so stay tuned.
I inquired about the noticeable lack of hip-hop on the SS '12 roster, though there will be plenty of DJs spinning betweens sets all weekend, including DJ Spin (from WBRU's 360 programming), DJ Magee, DJ Luv, and more. Past years featured performances by Chachi, Juan Deuce, Big Rush, and other notables.
"While there was an emphasis on hip-hop during the 2011 Sound Session, this year we are highlighting larger stage acts," Cabral said.
The Sound Session action kicked off earlier this week with a handful of prelude events at the Roots Café, leading into an action-packed weekend on stages stationed along Westminster Street (from Union to Mathewson). Hotel Providence will host the popular Sunday morning Gospel Brunch.
Here's a go-to rundown of what's in store:
Kickstart your Sound Session on FRIDAY (the 13th) at Roots with Luna's House Girl Lightning spinning tunes (starting at 7 pm), followed by local, uber-eclectic world-folk-fusion collective the Gnomes (did you pick up Everybody Must Get Gnomed?), Australian folk-pop act Women in Docs, and Original Jelly Roll Soul, with locals Robin Soares & Friends headlining.
The Hotel Providence stage is the site of Kid City, which kicks off SATURDAY (the 14th) at 4 pm and includes appearances from Joe's Backyard Band and activities galore, starting with a percussion workshop hosted by Miguel Almestica, plus big fun with Big Nazo, dance demos and lessons from Project 401 B-Boys, and inspiration provided by Providence CityArts for Youth. African drum and dance ensemble Akwaaba will warm up the Westminster stage, followed by the Caribbean flavor of Los Pleneros del Coco. This year's parade procession begins at 8:30 pm, so get out there and take to the streets (joyfully, of course) with Big Nazo and the Providence Roller Derby ladies, followed by the booming horns of Brass Attack and 2012 Best Music Poll champs the Agents (11 pm). Or rock out at the Mathewson Street stage with hometown greats We Own Land and the Silks (!), and Brooklyn's Miracles of Modern Science.
Terrell Osborne's Music One will provide the sounds at the Gospel Brunch at Hotel Providence on SUNDAY (the 15th) from 10 am-1 pm ($14.95 pp), followed by a special edition of the Who Dat Blues/Jazz Jam at the Roots Café at 7 pm.
Sound Session 2012 tickets are $7 per day for adults and $3 for kids 12 and under (free under 5). Visit soundsession.org for the full scoop.

Muay Thai Combat Mania 2012, December 30: Kem Sitsongpeenong vs. Yodsanklai Fairtex
- Written by Rian Scalia
For the past few months there's been word of Kem Sitsongpeenong and Yodsanklai Fairtex fighting on December 30 in Pattaya, Thailand, and just now we've gotten full details of the fight and the event.
Muay Thai Combat, ran by Stefania Picelli and Yokkao will host the event, titled Muay Thai Combat Mania Pattaya. The event will be streamed live on yokkao.com and muaythaicombat.com.
Yodsanklai Fairtex was for a long time one of the most world-renowned Thais fighting internationally and Kem has become one of those Thais over the past few years. For a long time, this fight seemed like it wouldn't happen because of weight but both fighters agreed on 71kg with same day weigh-ins.
Kem and Yod used to be stablemates at Fairtex, and a few years ago, many would've taken Yod to win without a second thought. Things have changed a lot over the past few years with seemingly slowing down, especially this year and last year. Both fighters are 27 years old.

A*STAR, Appistry join hands for managing and storing big data to accelerate genomics research (Image source: Army Logistician)
Singapore: The Agency for Science, Technology and Research's (A*STAR) Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) has launched research collaboration with Appistry, a leading US-based provider of high-performance computing and analytics for managing and storing big data. The collaboration is dedicated to accelerating the development of research methods and discoveries in human genome analytics and genomics.
"We are excited about this collaboration as it leverages on our computational genomics platform," said Professor Huck Hui NG, GIS executive director. "Through this collaboration, we will develop a pipeline which enables us to analyze next generation sequencing data more effectively."
"Appistry's technology will enable GIS to take a huge amount of data and rapidly advance their analytics and efficiently use their science to improve public health," said Mr Sultan Meghji, Appistry's vice president of product strategy.
GIS's regional research collaboration with Appistry builds upon Appistry's recent selection as the distributor for the Broad Institute's next generation Genome Analysis Tool Kit (GATK), the world's most widely used software for data processing and variant calling of next-generation sequencing data.
"The push toward translational and personalized medicine requires organizations to wrap their science within systems and applications that can provide actionable results from big data," said Mr Meghji. "Our global partnership with Broad and our regional partnership with GIS better enable our customers to capture the scientific best practices and capabilities they need in an environment that scales to modern throughput demands."

- LAST night when I was fast asleep,
- Who do you think ran after me?
- But A, B, C, each holding hands—
- It was the strangest sight to see!
- A danced a jig on nimble feet,
- Fat B sat down upon the bed,
- And C, to show what he could do,
- Turned round and stood upon his head!
- In blank surprise I stared at them—
- How odd the dancing letters seemed!
- And then I rubbed my eyes and woke,
- And knew that I had only dreamed!

Red Cross targets youth with holiday social media effort
The campaign, by Razorfish, is aimed at youth and "digital natives," in particular, and takes its name from the "What the heck should I make for dinner?" and "What the heck has Obama done so far?" phenomena, which blazed through millions of Tweets and Facebook status updates earlier this year (generally with a more ribald phrasing). The microsite, at whyshouldigive.org, offers Tweet-worthy factoids about the group's work in the US that viewers can post to their Facebook or Twitter feeds.
"Most people think of the Red Cross as helping in times of disaster," said Amy Vickers, SVP, strategy at Razorfish. "They don't realize that the Red Cross shows up locally, following home fires." And young people often have greater awareness of newer, buzzier charities than they do of larger and older service organizations like the Red Cross.
In addition to the microsite, which is embedded on the homepages of many of the group's 500-plus local chapters in the US, Razorfish created a "Twibbon" graphic featuring the American Red Cross icon that people can post.
"We're finding people clicking through a lot in search of the thing that resonates with them, and then Tweeting that," said Vickers.
Cat people, for example, went gaga for one tidbit about an Oregon cat that was honored as a hero by the local Red Cross chapter for rousting his owners from bed and saving them from a house fire. There are hundreds more to choose from, many highlighting the work of local chapters.
The campaign ran through January.

Rockfish is used in this dish at Cashion's Eat Place in Washington, D.C. If you can't find rockfish fillets, substitute sea bass.
Leave a Review
I love fennel in winter, but I added fennel seed to the salsa instead and it was faster and added a nice texture. Wonderful easy flavors added to the the fish!
My friends loved this... A refreshing healthy dish. Would highly recommend as a nice summer entree that's very easy to make
Delicious and adaptable! Was great on this March day and would be delectable in summer.
My wife is not a fan of orange anything, but I did change this to suit her... using mandarin orange segments (fresh) so that OJ didn't drip into the rest of the salsa. I also used about half the sugar, threw in red pepper flakes and added at least a tablespoon of nuoc man, fish sauce, which we love. Didn't add any salt because of that. Or pepper, already had the heat from the pepper flakes. The amount of ginger and other chopped up stuff isn't all that important. Just get it chopped and into the salsa. Very tasty on the fish! She skipped the OJ segments. No problem!
This was super easy and fast! It also tasted great and the presentation was very nice. Like other people said, I cooked it for 6 minutes on each side. I didn't make any changes to the recipe, it was perfect as is.
Deeelish! To the salsa, I added 1/2 a zucchini and 1/4 serrano for a little heat.
Very lovely dish with great flavors working together. Would have helped save time if I would have made the salsa ahead of time. I used perch which was super great on the grill. I also dipped my eggplant patties in the coating and grilled that too - wonderful!
Fantastic salsa; the rockfish was a little bland (although perked up by the salsa), so I'll probably try trout in future. I expected my husband (no fan of fruit in savory dishes) to balk at this one, but he really loved it, and it's allowed me to foist other fruit-centered salsas on him (e.g. nectarine salsa, also on this site).
This was so simple and so delicious! I always loved Cashion's when I lived in DC so I am not surprised. I used Indonesian Barramundi because Rockfish was not available and it was terrific. I added finely diced jalapeno to the salsa.
I didn't even use the salsa (just didn't have the ingredients) but the rockfish basted with the soy/olive oil and grilled was exceptional - the fish just melts in your mouth. I also basted zucchini cut in half length-wise with the same mixture and grilled it which was also delicious!

Family: Bufonidae, Toads view all from this family
Description Oval parotoid glands. Olive to greenish-yellow. Females have dark blotches.
Dimensions 4.5-7.7cm. (1 3/4-3")
Warning Toads have enlarged glands (called the paratoid glands) on the side of the neck, one behind each eye. These glands secrete a viscous white poison that gets smeared in the mouth of any would-be predator, inflaming the mouth and throat and causing nausea, irregular heart beat, and, in extreme cases, death. Toads pose a danger to pets, which may pounce on and bite them. Humans should take care to wash their hands after handling a toad, and to avoid touching the mouth or eyes until having done so.
Voice Musical trill, frequent intervals.
Breeding May-July. Eggs laid in shallow water.
Habitat Damp meadows on elevation of 6,400-11,000'.
Range Yosemite National Park, California.
Discussion Only found with others during breeding. Burrows underground to escape cold.

Leyton Orient 1 Wolves 3 - match report and pictures
Wolves clinched the League One title today with a flattering 3-1 win at Leyton Orient.
Although Richard Stearman (17), Bakary Sako (17) and an injury-time belter from substitute James Henry scored, a superb display of goalkeeping from Carl Ikeme was behind Wolves' 30th victory of the season and a club record 14th away victory.
The keeper produced numerous superb saves while Orient had an effort disallowed and twice hit the bar.
The title is Wolves' 10th in their club history and their first since 2009 when they won promotion from the Championship to the Premier League under Mick McCarthy.
Sako shook off the tight hamstring the forced him off after 70 minutes of that game to take his place in a side that showed one change from the starting line-up that beat Rotherham 6-4 on Good Friday with Jack Price returning for Lee Evans in midfield.
Orient were quick out of the blocks and David Mooney had a chance from a dipping volley after just 15 seconds but he got his angles all wrong and it flew well wide.
Wolves were next to show and Kevin McDonald tried his luck with a curling shot after six minutes that keeper Jamie Jones made a falling save to his left to smother.
The visitors then went ahead to take some of the sting out of Orient when Stearman headed home after Danny Batth got across his man to head Michael Jacobs's corner across goal.
Wolves remained dangerous on the break and Sako forced Jones into another diving save with a 25-yard drive in the 25th minute.
Orient should have been level a minute later but the unmarked Mathieu Baudry headed over from six yards out from Dean Cox's cross.
It looked like Wolves got away with a huge penalty shout in the 28th minute when Stearman handled in the box.
The whole of the home support appeared to shout for a spot-kick, but the one man whose opinion mattered, referee Neil Sawrbrick, waved play on.
And within four minutes, Wolves doubled their lead when Sako guided home a first-time shot off the inside of the keeper's left-hand post after helping on a throw-in to Nouha Dicko, who teed him up.
Orient captain Nathan Clarke was booked for a late tackle on Dicko on 39 before the home side ended the first-half with a flourish.
Mooney forced a fine low save from Carl Ikeme after cutting inside Batth on 40 before the Wolves keeper acrobatically tipped over Clarke's header from Cox's corner three minutes later.
Mooney then flashed a header wide under pressure from Cox's corner before Orient finally had the ball in the net on the stroke of the end of normal time at the end of the first half.
Chris Dagnall headed home from almost on the line after Romain Vincelot won a towering header only to see it crash off the bar, but the effort was disallowed as the striker was offside.
Orient started the second half as they had finished the first – on the attack.
Dagnall and Mooney forced Ikeme into fine reaction saves but Wolves couldn't keep them out and Cox halved the deficit when he sidefooted home a loose ball from 15 yards after Ikeme couldn't make the catch from a deep cross under fierce pressure then the defence failed to clear.
Wolves weathered the storm however to attack through Michael Jacobs and he saw a penalty shout waved aside when Clarke blocked off his run on 53.
Dicko then tried to find an unusual route to goal when he flicked the ball across box despite being grounded but no one could apply the finishing touch.
Mooney wasted a chance on the half volley when his effort flew well over after John Lundstram challenged Ikeme.
Wolves gradually began to look threatening again on the break and Dicko's early volley on the run was clawed out of the air in acrobatic style by Jones on 63.
Dave Edwards then saw a fierce, angled volley palmed away by bthe Orient keeper after Price split the defence five minutes later.
But Wolves were indebted to Ikeme in 72nd minute after two breathtaking saves in between Shaun Batt heading against the bar.
The latter brave save, coming as Batt slid in and Ikeme flung himself to his right, left the keeper with blood streaming from his nose and play was briefly held up to allow him treatment.Subscribe to our Newsletter

Another great win thanks to Ilene

What a beauty McLeod

Our turn to have the rub of the green. How on earth did the referee and his assistant miss that Stearman arm ball in the penalty area. In the end who cares? Tough luck Orient but we are (all but) Champions.
Carl Ikeme undoubtedly Man of the Match.
Now for 105 points.
Wolverhampton 44 30 9 5 85 30 +55 99
awesome, what a brilliant end to end game, just like rotherham , orient played their part and could have won or at least deserved a draw.
but as matt murray said it is fine lines that seperate winners from losers.
ikeme motm.
we move on to coventry, utw.
First half performance was great and yes we did ride our luck, think it was a definite penalty for Orient but never mind. The second half was very labored passing going astray and trying to walk the ball into the back of the net.Carl won man of the match by a country mile some fantastic saves to maintain our lead. The score line did not reflect the game and Orient will feel hard done by, but now we can watch the squad parade the trophy on the last game of the season, providing the idiots stay off the pitch. Well done to Kenny and the boys.
Another great win for Wolves, The only worry is that they seem to take there foot of the gas to early and allow teams the chance to get back into the game, but no complaints KJ & the boys have made me proud to be a WOLVES fan again and I can not wait for next season for the next instalment. COME ON ME BABBIES.
Awesome, bloody awesome! How can we not win the title now? Another magnificent display and result. Well done lads.
Well done the lads, another 3pts nearer the league title. I thought the players worked tirelessly throughout the game. Everything seemed to involve McDonald, but we owe our resulst to a m.o.t.m performance by Carl Ikeme, what a giant of a performance he displayed. WELL DONE TO THE LADS: UTW:
Another remarkable performance from Ikeme. Ikeme for player of the season
Well done KJ - manager of the season.
Forgot to say that the fat lady will be singing at Molineux when we lift the trophy.
Silver Wolf
Enjoy these golden moments ..... old gold, of course!
Yes, I'm looking forward to hearing Moxey sing too!
No doubt that Ikeme was m.o.t.m. by a country mile, but having said that Wolves thoroughly deserved the victory. My reasoning for this is that the truly creative football was played by Wolves. They possessed the passing game , and fluid movement which is necessary to unlock defences, especially at a higher level. Orient's goal threat, for all its frequency, tended to come from old fashioned long balls and crosses for their considerable heading ability.---------Yes, there were times when we struggled to cope with this, but more often Orient failed to cope with our fitness levels, and our pace on the break.---------- By the way, I thought Dicko's quick thinking headed pass to set up Sako for his goal was top drawer-------a brilliant assist!
MK Dons just pulled one back against Brentford.
One more and the league is ours today.
Stearmans overhead kick
We are Champions 1 Wolves ,Mk dons have just got another and the game as ended 2-2.
By all accounts we were lucky today. We were due some luck, anyway, so it all evens out. I'm sure KJ will have identified weaknesses and is already planning on fixing them for next year. Hope we can break the League 1 points record with wins against Coventry and/or Carlisle.
MK Dons just scored
Good old McLeod!!!!!!
Silver Wolf
What a last ten minutes at MK - brilliant - Champions.
CHAMPIONS let's enjoy it before the its only league 1 brigade get going UTW
Div 1 champions, best wishes to Kenny and the lads. Ikeme player of the year for me.
Too many records to list and can't see anyone stopping us getting 105 points now.
How refreshing to see some Premiership-type play: passing along the ground, passing out of trouble from defence. Trapping a high ball and finding a man in the same colour shirt. Gone is the McMuppet hoof, head and hope of yesteryear. Defence a lot better but still requires some work for the Championship and beyond.
Well done Mr Jackett and all the players. Still not convinced about Clarke though. Even for the short time he was playing he ambled around the pitch like next week would do.
Wolves Champions and them up the road relegated (?)........interesting year next year.
Mountain Wolf
I think our distant cousins will cling on by the skin of their dentures so we won't be seeing them next year.
Mountain. As much as it hurts to say. I have to agree with you.
Stearmans overhead kick
Well done Champion ,Well deserved ! Yeah! Ikeme man of the match for me followed close by the ref and is assistant for not seeing the penalty, Some good end to end stuff, And nice to see we didn't lie down when they got their goal after another dopey ten minutes before and after half time of Obvious to see though that when either team kept possession better the more they bossed the game.
It justs gets better and better!
Great result at Leyton Orient.
As stated above Ikeme was brilliant as were the back four.
Good game to witness and so proud of the end result.
Thank you Wolves for restoring faith in this wonderful club.
Good teamwork and work ethic has paid off.
Thank you Kenny Jackett you have done a cracking job in exemplary fashion.
So proud and happy for everyone connected with making this season so memorable for our wonderful patient fans.
We are Wolves and this is our club ! X
relegation to league one will be a positive step
A chance to get rid of the deadwood and big time charlies and rebuild through a combination of the youth system and signing quality players from league one and the championship
I watched the game live early in the morning here.Well done Wolves though we were very fortunate but Wolves are Champions!
Ye Olde South Bank
Okay, we got a bit lucky with the Stearman handball, but Orient's disallowed effort was clearly offside, so that's that. Besides, as others have said, we were overdue some good fortune. let's remember that Orient got their lucky break at Molineux when they could easily have been 3 or 4-0 down, but took a slightly fortunate point in the end. So, some you win, some you lose. The only stats that matter say:
Three goals away from home. Another three points for Wanderers. Championship title pocketed. Job done.
Congratulations to everyone at Wolves great team effort as an added bonus here in New Zealand a sports channel are showing the match this pmso I can see my beloved Wolves in action
Alan in Cyprus
Saw the game in our local beach-side taverna, we will have to play much better than this to survive in the Championship. Mr Morgan - get your cheque book out, don't make the same mistakes again. Well done everyone, live for today, tomorrow the hard work starts.
wolves 4 ever
Just read carl ikeme on the wolves fc site,hes so modest but I agree with what he said about his fellow defenders,maybe the team did have a little luck Monday, but they deserved the win again.After the game it was a good feeling to be able to say the whole squad at this level is brilliant,you don't have to worry if the regular scorers go a few games without a goal,because anybody in the current side is capable of a goal,I cannot see one weak link, I don't think I could say that about any team in the 60 yrs Ive have followed Wolves never felt so proud to be a Wolves fan and what a building block to build future teams on WELL DONE everybody at the MOLINEAUX.And on the plus side as well its kept everybodies favourite W B A fan JACK THE HAT QUIET that's an achievement in its self.

Decoding of Diamondback Moth's (DBM) genome sequence will help in its pest management
Singapore: An international research consortium, led by Fujian Agriculture, Forestry University (FAFU) and Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI), China, has completed the first genome sequence of the Diamondback Moth (DBM) (scientifically called as Plutella xylostella), the most destructive pest of brassica crops. This work provides wider insights into insect adaptation to host plant and opens new ways for more sustainable pest management. The study was published online in Nature Genetics.
In this study, researchers sequenced the genome of DBM by whole genome shotgun (WGS) and fosmid clones technologies, yielding aound 343 Mb draft genome with 18,071 predicted protein-coding genes. Compared with other sequenced insect species, they found that the diamondback moth possesses a relatively larger set of genes and a moderate number of gene families, suggesting the expansion of certain gene families.
Additionally, the genome-based phylogeny demonstrated that DBM was a basal lepidopteran species, which is well supported by its modal karyotype. Based on the genomic data generated from around 1,000 male pupae, researchers identified the genome-wide level of polymorphism within the sequenced DBM strain (Fuzhou-S), which may lay the genetic bases for DBM in adapting to various environmental challenges.
They investigated a set of genes preferentially expressed at the larval stage that contribute to odorant chemoreception, food digestion and metabolic detoxification. Interestingly, they found that the co-expression of sulfatase modifying factor 1 (SUMF1) and glucosinolate sulfatase (GSS) genes may be crucial for DBM to become a successful cruciferous herbivore.
Insecticide tolerance or resistance may have contribution to the option of detoxification pathway in insect herbivores. In this study, researchers found DBM has a larger set of insecticide resistance-related genes than silkworm (Bombyx mori) that had little exposure to insecticide over 5,000 years of domestication.

12 Skin Masks That Work Wonders During Winter
"Eyebrows are unique to each person, so don't force yours into an unnatural shape. These days, everyone is embracing a full natural brow, with a slight lift at the arch, that's as long as possible in length. The shape is youthful, dramatic and an excellent framework for the rest of your makeup."
"Using a brow comb, brush your brows in the direction of growth—most people's brows grow up in the inner corners and down toward the ends—then step back and look in the mirror to determine which parts to clean up and intensify. I never tweeze above the brow, or trim the ends as this changes the dimension of the face."

text: Once again, the prequels are using "signature" music from the classic trilogy in their latest TV advertisements. I don't get this, if LFL knows that the signature music from the CT attracts the moviegoers and brings a sense of familiarity and excitement to the audience, why wasn't there more of this signature music in either Ep 1 or 2? That alone would make it feel more like a SW film to most folks, heck, even Star Tours uses signature music to draw you into that world and it's just a 3 minute attraction.

- Description
Reticulite, also known by the poetic name "thread lace scoria", is the "none more pumice" of glassy volcanic rocks. Like pumice, it is a volcanic glass. Unlike pumice, the gas bubbles in reticulite have all burst, leaving behind only the delicate interstitial mesh.
Reticulite forms in particularly vigorous lava fountains which reach at least 300 meters into the air. Pressure at that altitude is low enough that it causes the gases dissolved within the lava to rapidly exsolve.

This is kind of humorous in a right-wing media interviewing Bill Clinton. Kind of humorous, too, that Clinton is giving political advice to the Republicans You'd think he'd be saving his best for Hillary's next campaign.
Seems he's better at running a charity organization than he was at running a Presidency.

I've moved again, at least three times since then. The fact is, I have no idea where the items are at this moment in time, but as a little Christmas giftie for anyone who might be interested, I've uploaded the entire collection of scans to a Picasa Web Album.
Actually, I'd be very surprised if our own genea-blogger Becky at Kinexxions wasn't interested in this. Last month I saw her photo and post about Lysander Joslin, and when I saw how much he resembled the Alonzo Joslyn in my estate sale find, I nabbed his picture to make the side-by-side comparison below. Could a universe exist in which these two heads of hair don't spring forth from the same DNA?
The photo of Rev. A.J. Joslyn appears in a booklet, 1906 Year Book and Directory of the Gilman Park Methodist Episcopal Church of Ballard, Washington, which includes an alphabetical listing of the church members. The pages of the booklet appear in the slideshow below.
Also included in the slideshow is a four-page letter dated February 2, 1906, written by Alonzo Joslin (note the alternate spelling), who was also familiarly known as Lon. The letter was written to his nephew Marshall (E.M. Joslin of Weiser, Idaho). In it, Alonzo mentions several family members by name and relationship, along with the date of his wife's death (June 19, 1905) and that of his brother Ben, who died the next day (June 20, 1905) in Salem, Oregon.
The rest of the collection is postcards, some of which have photographs or messages of interest. Postcards are shown image side first, then message side, except in two instances. The "Owl Camp" postcard is shown front-only, no back. And the final postcard, a Christmas greeting "To Father from Lon," is displayed message-side first. Most items date between 1906 and 1920. Most names and places appearing in the collection are listed below the slideshow.
(To pause on a particular slide, mouse over the lower edge to make control arrows appear.)

I hope the wounds my daughter suffers from being subjected to his heal without too much scarring.
I had to break it into two pieces, and follow up with a reply because of the length.Hello everyone - how's everybody doing today? I'm here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we've got students tuning in from all across America, kindergarten through twelfth grade. I'm glad you all could join us today.
I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now, with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer, and you could've stayed in bed just a little longer this morning.
I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday - at 4:30 in the morning.
Now I wasn't too happy about getting up that early. A lot of times, I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and say, "This is no picnic for me either, buster."
So I know some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.
Now I've given a lot of speeches about education. And I've talked a lot about responsibility.
I've talked about your teachers' responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn.
I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox.
I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working where students aren't getting the opportunities they deserve.
But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world - and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.
And that's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education. I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.
Every single one of you has something you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That's the opportunity an education can provide.
Maybe you could be a good writer - maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper - but you might not know it until you write a paper for your English class. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor - maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or a new medicine or vaccine - but you might not know it until you do a project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a Senator or a Supreme Court Justice, but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.
And no matter what you want to do with your life - I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You can't drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You've got to work for it and train for it and learn for it.
And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.
You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You'll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.
We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don't do that - if you quit on school - you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.
Now I know it's not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.
I get it. I know what that's like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us things the other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn't fit in.

The silver TC-14 protocol/spy droid on the Tantive IV? Get a cheap Threepio and spray the bugger with silver model paint. That will net you a final product that resembles the little traitor!!
Don't forget to cover up the "wire parts" so you don't botch up THAT portion!!!
or E-3PO! the rude droid on Cloud City!
What about the red Echo BAse 3-p0? Was it R-3p0? I'd like to see that one made! And more astromechs!
Yes,but you all know that we need a CZ droid.
Insert sig line of your choosing here.
I agree, a CZ is definately in order. Also a red protocol driod. However I don't think we will ever see any more silver protocol droids. The reason behind this, Hasbro has already released TC-14 and they will assume that everyone can just substitue TC-14 for the others if they need to. But then again, TC-14 is extremely hard to come by, so where would the logic lie in that? Well, either way I hope they get made. Why not along with the army builder sets? Just package together a whole bunch of droids.
"Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun."
Yes, If you want a U-3PO that badly, subsititute TC-14 or repaint a C-3PO.
Thanks To Hango Fett/Jedi Tricks for the Avatar!
Or just scratch of the paint!

"Morning, how's it going? Beautiful day," says Constable Leanne Fairbairn to a passing shopper.
It is a glorious morning as I accompany the community policewoman around Gate Pa Shopping Centre in the week the Bay of Plenty Times revealed regional police foot patrols doubled in 2012. The numbers leapt to 3835 last year from the 1921 patrols conducted in 2011.
The more the merrier as far as Mrs Fairbairn is concerned.
"I absolutely love this part of the job. You are in the real world, you're checking in with people that you should be checking in with. I've got the best job in the force. I get that positive feedback all the time and it allows you to build networks within the community."
As we walk and talk Mrs Fairbairn engages with nearly everyone she meets. A quick "hello, how are you", is natural, not forced.
"You have to interact with people. You can't walk around with a glum face," Mrs Fairbairn says.
Community centres, parks, schools and other areas are visited but the focal point for many of these foot patrols are the main shopping areas.
For the 44-year-old based at Greerton's Tauranga South Police Station that means Gate Pa, Greerton, Merivale and Welcome Bay.
"It's nice for these areas to have a positive engagement with the police and foot patrols allow us to do that. We are there in a non-threatening role rather than a negative one and people react well to it."
The desired result of the daily patrols, which last up to two hours, is a heightened visibility, community presence and to act as a deterrent. The ultimate combined goal is reduced crime. Mrs Fairbairn, who has been a police officer for 16 years, regularly ducks into shops during her rounds. She checks in on the store owners, keeping informed about issues, about trends with regards to damage or problems with gangs of loitering youths.
"A lot of people go about their daily business and wouldn't necessarily call us in regards to everything they've seen. They don't want to think they're bothering us but if you're there already, walking about these areas, talking to people, it gives them that opportunity.
"Shopkeepers are busy in their stores all day so they might not get the chance to talk to us otherwise."
David Stewart, owner of The Fresh Market, is one of many appreciative shopkeepers.
"The thing about patrols is they're visible. People know there's police out there in the community. It's like if you happen to be driving at 60km/h in a 50 zone and you see the police, you slow down. It's the same thing, it's a deterrent ... "
Mr Stewart said it was commonsense foot patrols were a good idea but politicians were not always blessed with commonsense.
"I live in Mount Maunganui and New Year's was the best it's been for years and that was because of the bigger police presence," he said. On a personal level, the store owner praised Mrs Fairbairn's attitude and professionalism.
"Leanne's exceptional at what she does and she's always willing to help. I can drop her an email or phone her about things, it's never a problem," Mr Stewart said.
That professionalism was recognised on Tuesday when Mrs Fairbairn was chosen to represent the regional police force at an event Celebrating New Zealand Women. It was hosted by Governor-General Sir Jerry Mateparae and took place at Government House, Auckland.
As the patrol finishes, Mrs Fairbairn adds she cannot recall having to intervene in a major incident whilst out patrolling in her seven years as a community constable.

Brian O'Neill: Apartments finally part of North Shore developmentJune 18, 2014 11:34 PM
Sure, there has been $150 million in development between the North Shore stadiums in the past decade, but where are the apartments? And why is the newest office construction only three stories high?
Frank Kass is ready for questions like this. He's the Columbus, Ohio, developer who has partnered with the Steelers and Pirates to build the hotels, office buildings, bars and restaurants betwixt the stadia. There the teams have development rights they must use or lose.
It's something of a balancing act. Every new building takes away surface parking even as it adds parkers. The Pittsburgh-Allegheny County Sports & Exhibition Authority built a $29 million, 1,255-space parking garage eight years ago to replace some of what was lost, but that now fills every weekday morning as commuters access free subway rides Downtown.
Mr. Kass' Continental Real Estate Companies expects to break ground on a 10-story apartment building across Mazeroski Way from PNC Park next spring, but that must be complemented by a new garage or two with as many as 750 spaces to accommodate both new renters and current parkers.
Nobody's going to want to pay 2 grand to rent a 900-square-foot luxury apartment if it doesn't include private parking, Mr. Kass said. His group speaks from experience. It built the Arena Crossing Apartments across from where the Columbus Blue Jackets play hockey.
Two grand is more than most can afford, but the hot rental market Downtown suggests that these apartments should easily attract enough empty-nesters and single professionals desiring a view of both the ballpark and the Golden Triangle with their morning coffee.
Such residences were always part of the city's plan. When Continental submitted its North Shore Master Plan a dozen years ago, no fewer than five buildings east of the Fort Duquesne Bridge called for first-floor retail with residential above, but a hotel and an office building are the results there thus far.
Everything from the worldwide recession (and the subsequent tightening of bank credit) to construction of the North Shore Connector slowed development, Mr. Kass and his sports team partners said. That subway was tunneled beneath where they needed to build, and for a long time it left a big mound of dirt where they might have built.
That same subway is now a great amenity, however. Tom Armstrong, who chaired the city Planning Commission for more than a decade ending in 2005, has been disappointed by recent low-risk additions by Continental. The three-story office/retail buildings now under construction stand across North Shore Drive from taller buildings facing Point State Park. They're "like putting the little guys in the back row of the photo opportunity," Mr. Armstrong said.
Mr. Kass said he could have built taller buildings with 150 percent more office space and then tried to fill them with tenants who would have no place to park. Or he could have gone broke because he couldn't fill them, he said.
"Broke or underparked – we chose to be neither."
We were doing all this talking at the busy Jerome Bettis Grille, so he invited me out to walk North Shore Drive with him. With the new construction, that street has for the first time office buildings on both sides, fulfilling the master plan.
"This is what I wanted you to feel," he said as we walked a street with wide sidewalks.
The scale of the new construction seemed right, and gave walkers that sense of being in a pleasant outdoor room that the best urban corridors should have.
Residential construction was bound to be the toughest piece of this puzzle because apartment dwellers, unlike office workers, need parking spaces nights and weekends when sports fans arrive looking to get out of their cars. But every Pittsburgher has a right to poke and prod this development as its final pieces are put into place. Hundreds of millions in public dollars went into the stadiums, restored street grid, park, amphitheater and subway extension that attracted all the private dollars that followed.
Remembering the three decades of zilch that surrounded Three Rivers Stadium, we have witnessed a remarkable transformation for the North Shore. Blank and bleak are out; green and breathing are in. Hundreds more apartments can only add more life to a Downtown that increasingly feels split by the rivers, not surrounded by them.
