Invercargill residents can be happy in the knowledge that its Dee St Subway sandwiches measure up.
Australian teenager Matt Corby posted a photo of his footlong sub, measuring only 11 inches, online and became a global internet sensation.
The image has since appeared on many social media sites and television news programmes.
The Southland Times ordered some footlong subs to find out if diners in the city were being short changed. After measuring with a ruler, the subs were declared 12 inches, or one foot, long.
Subway Invercargill manager Rebecaa Tagicakibau said she was not allowed to comment.

Energy prices have stabilized at high levels in the weeks following the damage to the U.S. petroleum infrastructure wrought by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The natural gas market, which lost more than 20 percent of domestic production from the Gulf following the storms, has seen dramatic price increases in the cost of the product.
While the loss of more than 1.4 million barrels per day of crude oil production from the Gulf states can be rather easily replaced by other sources, such as the nation's strategic petroleum reserve and imports from other countries, natural gas is difficult to transport outside of the domestic pipeline network that has been built over the years. The hurricanes disrupted the production of more than 8 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas. Natural gas can only be economically shipped from overseas in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The United States has only four LNG ship terminals at the present time, one of which is in the Gulf. In addition, the global fleet of LNG tanker ships is already contracted out for several years.
Prior to the hurricanes, the United States had already tipped into becoming a net importer of natural gas, importing about 4 percent of the country's needs in 2004. The result is a major increase in the cost of this fuel. Also, use of this gas is not optional for many sectors of the economy including electric utilities and home and commercial heating and cooking. Analysts are predicting an average increase in gas-fired heating bills this winter of nearly 50 percent!
Crude oil prices have settled into the mid-$60 range since peaking at more than $70 per barrel immediately following the storms. The mid-October price for crude is down slightly from earlier in the month. As of the date of this article, crude was selling for $62.40 bbl. (a barrel of crude contains 45 U.S. gallons). Gasoline prices have also come down slightly. This is largely due to reduced demand as a result of high prices and the return of about half of the Gulf state refining capacity initially knocked out by the storms. An interesting side note to the world's energy drama came two weeks ago with the announcement by the Saudi oil minister that the Saudis have much more oil in the ground than originally estimated. (This is covered in "Oil Reserves Estimated to Be Larger Than Previous Calculations," another eNews article in this issue.)
Diesel fuel, on the other hand, has increased to an average price of about $2.50/gal. (not including taxes). On the East Coast, this equates to a cost difference of 20 to 50 cents per gallon. Diesel fuel is derived from the same petroleum fractions that are needed for the production of heating oil and jet fuel. As our national heating stocks are already lower than they should be and climatologists continue to predict a colder than normal winter, the strong demand for heating oil continues to drive up the price of diesel as well.
Automakers are starting to realize the impact of expensive energy also. Sales of pickups and large SUVs are down sharply, while the resale value of used, compact cars sold at wholesale auctions have started to rise.
A final note and warning following Katrina and Rita: It has been estimated that more than five hundred thousand vehicles suffered water damage during the storms. It is likely that many of these vehicles will be "freshened" and will find their way into the car market. Buyers should be extremely cautious when making a used vehicle purchase. Electronic components such as fuel computers and other solid state devices may work for several months after being immersed in salty water, but the salts will remain in the modules and will eventually destroy the electronic circuitry. Unscrupulous operators have figured out ways to "wash" titles so that damage disclaimers and "Junk Vehicle" notices may no longer appear in the vehicle's history or documentation. If you are planning to purchase a used vehicle soon, you may want to take it to a trusted technician for a close inspection!

Why now:
It's the GoPro and YouTube revolution that really spurred drone growth. Tiny, high-resolution video cameras mounted to quadcopters capturing amazing videos posted online for all to see and get excited about. Which then led to more developments like 3-axis gimbals to stabilize video. Now anyone can capture smooth professional aerial footage like filmmaker Philip Bloom.

When I was a moderator of an online forum site in 2007, an argument ensued between me and a fellow moderator about the issue whether to create a nude thread or not.
My personal stand was on the negative, in defense of the other women who might not desire to expose their bodies in public.
We form our ideal standards for the kind of leader we want to head our country. But if he falters and continue to falter, we condemn him. I agree that we need to demand for an upright leader for he holds the fate of the nation and its people.
While a man who falters alone has only himself to destroy and can still amend to reform what he has to do for his own good.
NO, I am trying to assert that NO MAN IS PERFECT SO HE WILL FALTER.

The Body in the Library
The body of a beautiful blonde is found in the library of Gossington Hall. What the young woman was doing in the quiet village of St. Mary Mead is precisely what Jane Marple means to find out. Amid rumors of scandal, Miss Marple baits a clever trap to catch a ruthless killer.
Author Biography:
Agatha Christie is the world's best known mystery writer. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in 44 foreign languages. She is the most widely published author of all time in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare.
Her writing career spanned more than half a century, during which she wrote 79 novels and short story collections, as well as 14 plays, one of which, The Mousetrap, is the longest-running play in history. Two of the characters she created, the brilliant little Belgian Hercule Poirot and the irrepressible and relentless Miss Marple, went on to become world-famous detectives. Both have been widely dramatized in feature films and made-for-TV movies.
Agatha Christie also wrote six romantic novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. As well, she wrote four nonfiction books including an autobiography and an entertaining account of the many expeditions she shared with her archaeologist husband Sir Max Mallowan.
Agatha Christie died in 1976.

Read an Excerpt
Mrs. Bantry was dreaming. Her sweet peas had just taken a First at the flower show. The vicar, dressed in cassock and surplice, was giving out the prizes in church. His wife wandered past, dressed in a bathing suit, but, as is the blessed habit of dreams, this fact did not arouse, the disapproval of the parish in the way it would assuredly have done in real life.
Mrs. Bantry was enjoying her dream a good deal. She usually did enjoy those early-morning dreams that were terminated by the arrival of tea. Somewhere in her inner consciousness was an awareness of the usual noises of the household. The rattle of the curtain rings on the stairs as the housemaid drew them, the noises of the second housemaid's dustpan and brush in the passage outside. In the distance the heavy noise of the front-door bolt being drawn back.
Another day was beginning. In the meantime she must extract as much pleasure as possible from the flower show, for already its dreamlike quality was becoming apparent.
Below her was the noise of the big wooden shutters in the drawing room being opened. She heard it, yet did not hear it. For quite half an hour longer the usual household noises would go on, discreet, subdued, not disturbing because they were so familiar. They would culminate in a swift, controlled sound of footsteps along the passage, the rustle of a print dress, the subdued chink of tea things as the tray was deposited on the table outside, then the soft knock and the entry of Mary to draw the curtains.
In her sleep Mrs. Bantry frowned. Something disturbing was penetrating through the dream state, something out of its time. Footsteps alongthe passage, footsteps that were too hurried and too soon. Her ears listened unconsciously for the chink of china, but there was no chink of china.
The knock came at the door. Automatically, from the depths of her dream, Mrs. Bantry said, "Come in." The door opened; now there would be the chink of curtain rings as the curtains were drawn back.
But there was no chink of curtain rings. Out of the dim green light Mary's voice came, breathless, hysterical. "Oh, ma'am, oh, ma'am, there's a body in the library! "
And then, with a hysterical burst of sobs, she rushed out of the room again.
Mrs. Bantry sat up in bed.
Either her dream had taken a very odd turn or else--or else Mary had really rushed into the room and had said--incredibly fantastic!--that there was a body in the library.
"Impossible," said Mrs. Bantry to herself. "I must have been dreaming."
But even as she said it, she felt more and more certain that she had not been dreaming; that Mary, her superior self-controlled Mary, had actually uttered those fantastic words.
Mrs. Bantry reflected a minute and then applied an urgent conjugal elbow to her sleeping spouse. "Arthur, Arthur, wake up."
Colonel Bantry grunted, muttered and rolled over on his side.
"Wake up, Arthur. Did you hear what she said?"
"Very likely," said Colonel Bantry indistinctly. "I quite agree with you, Dolly," and promptly went to sleep again.
Mrs. Bantry shook him. "You've got to listen. Mary came in and said that there was a body in the library."
"Eh, what?"
"A body in the library."
"Who said so?"
Colonel Bantry collected his scattered faculties and proceeded to deal with the situation. He said, "Nonsense, old girl! You've been dreaming."
"No, I haven't. I thought so, too, at first. But I haven't. She really came in and said so."
"Mary came in and said there was a body in the library?"
"But there couldn't be," said Colonel Bantry.
"No-no, I suppose not," said Mrs. Bantry doubtfully. Rallying, she went on, "But then why did Mary say there was?"
"She can't have."
"She did."
"You must have imagined it."
"I didn't imagine it."
Colonel Bantry was by now thoroughly awake and prepared to deal with the situation on its merits. He said kindly, "You've been dreaming, Dolly. It's that detective story you were reading--The Clue of the Broken Match. You know, Lord Edgbaston finds a beautiful blonde dead on the library hearthrug. Bodies are always being found in libraries in books. I've never known a case in real life."
"Perhaps you will now," said Mrs. Bantry. "Anyway, Arthur, you've got to get up and see."
"But really, Dolly, it must have been a dream. Dreams often do seem wonderfully vivid when you first wake up. You feel quite sure they're true."
"I was having quite a different sort of dream about a flower show and the vicar's wife in a bathing dress--something like that." Mrs. Bantry jumped out of bed and pulled back the curtains. The light of a fine autumn day flooded the room.
"I did not dream it," said Mrs. Bantry firmly. "Get up at once, Arthur, and go downstairs and see about it."
"You want me to go downstairs and ask if there's a body in the library? I shall look a fool."
"You needn't ask anything," said Mrs. Bantry. "if there is a body--and of course it's just possible that Mary's gone mad and thinks she sees things that aren't there--well, somebody will tell you soon enough. You won't have to say a word."
Grumbling, Colonel Bantry wrapped himself in his dressing gown and left the room. He went along the passage and down the staircase. At the foot of it was a little knot of huddled servants; some of them were sobbing.
The butler stepped forward impressively. "I'm glad you have come, sir. I have directed that nothing should be done until you came. Will it be in order for me to ring up the police, sir?"
"Ring 'em up about what?"
What People are Saying About This
Meet the Author
Agatha Christie, the acknowledged 'Queen of Detective Fiction' (The Observer) was born in Torquay in 1890. During the First World War she worked as a hospital dispenser, and it was here that she gleaned the working knowledge of various poisons that was to prove so useful in her detective stories. Her first novel was The Mysterious Affair at Styles, which introduced Hercule Poirot to the world. This was published in 1920 (although in fact she had written it during the war) and was followed over the next six years by four more detective novels and a short story collection. However, it was not until the publication of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd that Agatha Christie's reputation was firmly established. This novel, with its complex plot and genuinely shocking conclusion, attracted considerable public attention and has since been acknowledged by many experts as a masterpiece. In 1930 the sharp-witted spinster sleuth Miss Marple made her first appearance in Murder at the Vicarage. In all, Agatha Christie published 80 crime novels and short story collections. The brilliance of Christie's plots, and her enduring appeal, have led to a number of dramatisations of her work on radio, television and film. In 1930 she was one of a number of crime writers asked to contribute a chapter to a mystery, Behind the Screen, that was broadcast on BBC radio on 21st June that year. More recently, June Whitfield portrayed Miss Marple on BBC Radio 4, whilst John Moffat starred as Hercule Poirot. On screen, Peter Ustinov, David Suchet, Margaret Rutherford, Joan Hickson, Geraldine McEwan and Julia McKenzie have all memorably played Agatha Christie's famous sleuths. As her play The Mousetrap (the longest-running play in the history of the theatre) testifies, Agatha Christie's detective stories are likely to appeal for a long time to come. Agatha Christie was awarded a CBE in 1956 and was made a Dame of the British Empire in 1971. She died in 1976.

The Body In The Library is one of the classic Miss Marple Mysteries. It is a quick read and definitely worth the time. If you like Miss Marple this is one of her best cases. It really gives an interesting look at life in England at that point in time. The body of a young, beautiful blonde woman mysteriously appears in the library of a wealthy man's home and no one seems to know how it got there. The woman worked as a professional dancer in a rural club in England. By today's standards, her job was pretty tame. The club was frequented by older people who liked to play bridge. No hanky-panky so to speak. She frequently talked to older people, and occasionally she would dance with a male partner who was a professional dancer to entertain the older people. So, how did she end up dead? Needless to say, there are many suspects, but the mystery revolves around how the body ended up in the rich man's library. I'll give you a clue: "This young blonde wasn't looking for a good book to read! In fact, it was never established that she could read." But, I can assure you Agatha Christie hides the answer right up to the very end, and when Miss Marple solves the case, you will be completely satisfie and say: "Why didn't I think of that?" This is a very interesting period piece told with great expository writing that gives the reader an interesting look at another time and another place. I've read most of Agatha Christie, and somehow I missed this one. The book cover caught my eye, and I found this one quite good.
I like Agatha Christie. I enjoy all of her stories and this was no less enjoyable. Yes, it's predictable, but it's still a fun read.
In this Jane Marple mystery, there were really no suprises or twists. Althouh it was enjoyable, it moved very slowly, but with a lot of Jane Marple, it is bearable. I wouldn't recomend it to any of Christie's fans, but if your into that kind of slow moving murders, read this one.
It's not as good as the one I'm reading now, which is pretty interesting. There was only one twist, but it was good nevertheless. The murderer(s) were quite a surprise, as usual. It was interesting, but could be better.
I felt this was an interesting and clever, although rather short, mystery. Sadly it got very confusing as this edition, put out by Appletons, was missing several paragraphs and even a full page or two.
Personally, I am a big fan of Agatha Christe's work, and I didn't like this very much. It was dull, had no twists and turns, just plain old mystery. If you like that kind of stuff, then I guess you'll like this. They say the same things over and over. I don't really recommend this to any of Christe's fans.
How disappointng! How could Agatha Christie make such a horrid book, it's just not like her! I could put the book down! And I'm not the only one who thinks this!
this was the worst Agatha Christie yet!i wasn't shocked at all about who did it. it was just so obvious! and there was like one twist and that was about the 2 bodies. if you buy this book you're wasting your money! This is a Don't read.i don't even think anyone who likes slow mysteries would like the book. It is very, VERY disappointing and very, very, very, VERY boring. I assure you that when you read this book, you'll want your money back!!I give this book a one-star which means poor. It was not poorly written but it had a poor plot.
Delightful Story, ending was a bit confusing. There was too much going on. Though, novel is quite appealing
Agatha Christie set of 1,000 copies and the 70 novels. But each Agatha Christie likes cozy mysteries. However, The Body in the Library is a cozy mystery novel. We kill by a man and Miss Marple has a detective series by Agatha Christie.

McAfee was a great program. It was my anti-virus and firewall for the longest time. It was cheap and effective. Now, while it still isn't too costly, it has a very bad reputation. Bloat and spyware have been found in its file, and while my usage of it was during the times before and after this issue was addressed, it is still a very important thing to bring up as extra software that is harmful to the user or unnecessary most be known to any who may purchase it in the future, in case McAfee tries to sneak it in again. It still does have some favorable parts to it though; however, I can't recommend this software in the slightest. There are better free and paid programs that stop viruses more effectively while also not having spyware hidden in the files.
Pros :
It is a firewall, and it does its job fairly well. Its hard to say whether Window's Defender of McAfee helped me more though. It is available for tablets and smart phones which is good, considering more and more information is being stolen from mobile devices as opposed to desktops. Virus protection on a mobile device is incredibly advantageous, even if said anti-virus isn't the best. It is still a defense. This goes for Apple and Android devices alike. Tech support is also free, so if a virus does infect a computer, someone can potentially help a user go through the steps of removing it. A nice little feature that comes bundled together with everything.
Cons :
The biggest con is the risk of spyware and bloatware on your machine because of McAfee Antivirus Plus. Many people have found that McAfee installed other software along with the firewall. This is a huge problem. How can one trust their firewall if their firewall has a bunch of extra unwanted files that can pose a risk to one's computer or just fill up hard drive space with useless programs. The firewall itself isn't that best either. While using it, McAfee has given me false positives in the past while also letting virus get past its own defense. Luckily, Windows caught it before my system could get infected.
Wednesday 31 December 1969
McAfee 2015 was a disappointment for us. With too many issues like tech support costs and a weak interface, this version is a letdown, particularly after a poor showing last year, too. Even though it includes a software firewall and an excellent vulnerability scanner, the value of those things doesn't outweigh the overall virus protection which was average in most areas. As a leader in the antivirus industry, McAfee could—and should—deliver a stronger product.More about McAfee Antivirus Plus
Wednesday 31 December 1969
Panda remains low on our list again this year. Average protection, an average user interface, and poor resource usage all bring down its score.

Thursday 23 January 2014
The firewall that seemed a nice bonus in Panda's antivirus just doesn't have the power to anchor Panda Internet Security 2014.

How Addiction Lights Up the Brain: Dopamine (and Other Neurotransmitters) 101
A number of scientific studies have revealed the complex workings of our brain's motivation and reward center and how neurotransmitters, often referred to as the brain's "feel-good chemicals," are released when we desire something or experience pleasure.
Our brains produce numerous natural neurotransmitters that play critical roles in our health and how we feel. The brain also changes its production of these neurotransmitters in response to certain substances or stimuli, and this is why many experts now recognize the role neurotransmitters play in addiction. They explain that we become addicted as chemically induced alterations in neurotransmitter levels confuse the brain's pleasure and reward mechanisms, driving addiction and, ultimately, challenging recovery.

This is something I actually thought about the other day, as I was bringing horses inside at feed time. And it just so happens that a local vet wrote about this very topic in his recent monthly column that I read just last night! LOL! (Dr. J is a great guy, and is my horses' chiropractic vet. If I did not already have an AWESOME veterinarian, I would use Dr. J as my regular vet!)
Every year in the winter, I see dark orange or even red urine spots in the snow. It always jars me for a moment, but it is perfectly harmless. Why is that??
I cannot remember who told me years ago about why horse's urine turns red/orange in the snow, but I clearly remember being worried about it the first time I saw it! LOL! While my mare was totally fine, I assumed the worst. Usually dark urine in a horse is a sign of tying-up. But when a horse pees in the snow, mucus or minerals will darken it and certain proteins can oxidize it. Therefore the urine spot will appear dark orange or even red! It can be alarming but is no cause for concern, especially if the horse is fine otherwise.
Ahhhhh, the joys of horse ownership! LOL! ;-D

The first time I saw red urine, I freaked out. If you look at the color of a puddle that's sat on a rubber mat for a while, it's rusty too. Urine from a horse that's tying up is practically black.

Jobst UlcerCARE Zippered Stocking and Liner (114485)
January 20, 2014
I first heard of and used a Jobst Stocking back in the 1970's after vein ligation surgery. Back then, the type of stocking I used was one that was made for me. I had to go to the doctor's office and both legs were meticulously measured and the tapes sent to Jobst for fabrication. Back then there were no liners, just an opened toe stocking that fit like my own skin. They were difficult to use but they worked. And that's the important thing to me. Well, jump ahead to 2013. My present doctor and I had discussed Jobst stockings on several occasions and I was under the impression that at some point I would be fitted for a stocking, just like in the old days. Although Jobst apparently still does the "made to order" stockings, I came across these at Metro Medical Online. I had never heard of the UlcerCARE line of stocking before and I was intrigued. I took the information with me to my next doctor visit. My doctor was familiar with Jobst stockings and she gave me her approval. I had been using unna boot bandages for about 4 years, which had been effective for a while, but it was as those I had reached a plateau with them. The ulcers on both legs weren't getting any better, and in some cases worse. Enter the Jobst UlcerCARE stocking. The first one I ordered was the ones that were discontinued, and thus on sale. I figured if they didn't work out I wouldn't be out quite as much. Although this review is about the NEW UlcerCARE stocking I first started with the older model. I have bilateral ulcers, but I started using the Jobst stocking on my left leg which had had an open ulcer for almost two years. I wore this stocking per the instructions. I took it off at night and put it back on before I got up in the morning. Sometimes I would sleep with the liner on and just put the outer stocking on before I got up. It was comfortable to wear and I thought it was a good thing that I could change my dressing twice per day, something that I couldn't do with the unna boot dressing. The new liner really aides in putting on the outer stocking and in helping to keep the dressing in place. I started wearing the stocking in mid June 2013, and by mid October, my left leg ulcer had closed, for the first time in about 2 years. I continue to wear the Jobst UlcerCARE stocking and I haven't had any trouble with my left leg since. As I mentioned, when I first started I had purchased the older model. I probably would have been better off to have gotten the newer model with all the improvements that have been made to it. For instance, the older model is very similar to the fabric that was used back in the 1970's. The newer model has a special design pattern that provides more friction to the liner, yielding better compression. The new liner is greatly improved from the older model liner as well. The difference between them is like daylight and dark. The one area that I thought was a bit disappointing concerning the newer model stocking, was that the zipper doesn't go all the way up. I think it would be better and easier to put on if the zipper went all the way up the stocking like the older model stocking does. Subsequently, I've purchased the model without the zipper. It's probably no surprise that I highly recommend the Jobst UlcerCARE stocking with liner. I've been doing my own womb care for a long time, sometimes with a physician's help and sometimes not. At one time or another, I've tried just about everything. For all the good things that anyone can do, like eating a good diet, keeping your legs elevated, and generally doing all the right things, with venous stasis ulcers, it's all about the compression. All things being equal, it's the compression that will make the difference. These Jobst stockings have worked wonders for me and I highly recommend them. They're made in the USA as well.

Sat 29 Jan 2011 Grande: Short-tailed Shearwater. Grey, Humpback and Fin Whales
Expand Messages
- Greetings
The photos are in. The trip report is entered into eBird. The Buena Vista Audubon Society Annual Winterfest Pelagic produced 3 species of shearwaters (including Short-tailed). Cool stuff included VERY close encounters with 8 Fin Whales (see photos), Bottlenose Dolphin doing acrobatics flipping and spinning out of the water and 18 migrating Grey Whales.
But the highlight of a day full of spectacular scenes was a heart-pumping show by a Peregrine Falcon using Grande as a "blind" or distraction while making multiple high-speed stoops on unsuspecting Cassin's Auklets, missing, circling directly over and around Grande then stooping again until after a dozen or so tries it came up with a plump auklet and carried it away with gulls in hot pursuit hoping to force a dropped auklet. Matt Sadowski shot an awesome frame-by-frame sequence of the falcon catching up to, then flying away with, the auklet, pursued by raucous gulls.

The 2014 Scout.com five-star running back enrolled early at USC and dominated spring, arguably setting a new bar for best early enrollee… in Trojan history.
He's ahead of his freshmen, sophomore, and junior competition and according to USC head coach Lane Kiffin's post-spring depth chart, he's on the same level as Trojan senior tailback Silas Redd.
Davis told FOX Sports NEXT after summer workouts that he was excited to see his name listed as a co-starter with Redd, but knows the job isn't secure. "I realize I stil have to put a lot of work in because it's not just going to be given to me," Davis said. "The coaches, they definitely want me to work hard because they believe I can do something. So I'm just going to take it as motivation and I'm going to stay on top of my game fall camp."
Davis showed unique talent throughout his 15 spring practices, leaving Kiffin to ponder if the 6-foot-1 195-pound back was one of the strongest early enrollees in his tenure, and perhaps all-time, at USC.
Asked what propelled him to play at such a high level at his young age, Davis credited his high school program and the urgency he felt his senior season to prepare for division one football.
"My last year of high school I really had to step it up because I was going to a D-I college and USC," Davis said. "So I had to show my teammates what I was working towards, so that work I put in last year in high school definitely helped me out."
It also helped Davis' cause that Redd was sidelined most of spring after tearing his meniscus. In the absence of Redd and the limitations placed on redshirt sophomore Tre Madden as he continues to rehab his torn ACL, Davis and redshirt sophomore Buck Allen did all the heavy lifting.
"I must've been saying 'I'm tired' at the moment, 'we need some more backs'," explained Davis. "But at the end of it all it really helped me out a lot. Me and Buck, we got so many reps and definitely, when it's going to be a little clogged this fall camp, so when they call on me I think I can get the job done."
Since completing his first semester as a college student, Davis says he feels like he has the routine down and doesn't expect to experience as much of a challenge when balancing school and football in the fall, like he did over the spring.
"I'm already seeing how it's going to help me out because when the new freshmen came they were struggling," he explained. "I'm already over it. So it definitely helped me out tremendously."
The Trojans open their season Aug. 29 at Hawaii. Expect to see the freshman set what could be his career curve against the Rainbow Warriors.

Field Hockey Turf
backSTORY:This is used field hockey turf! It is has a thick short grassy texture much like what you see at miniature golf courses or as many fondly call it, putt putt. This turf even typically has fewer lines!
These rolls of synthetic turf were used less than 10 seasons for field hockey and have a lot of life left in them. They are durable and able to wick moisture, making them ideal for outdoor applications such as a dog run or a replacement for live grass. The rolls of turf still have the original paint markings according to field hockey. Our current inventory has the grass woven in the backing.

FAQ's ↧
Will the used synthetic turf have lines on it?Yes, the artificial turf was originally used as soccer and football fields, etc. Consequently, the turf rolls will have lines sewn throughout. We do not separate rolls. We sell the synthetic turf "as is"…lines and all.
What is synthetic turf "infill"?This new generation artificial turf is like a shag carpet with blades of about 1 ½" – 2" long. (This is NOT like the old outdoor carpet or Astroturf as some called it.) Between the blades a sand / rubber mix is worked in. This infill helps give the turf field playability and durability.
Does the turf you sell come with infill?/div> We sell used artificial turf both with infill and with the infill removed or extracted. The availability of infill is dependent on our current inventory.
How much does used artificial turf weigh?Artificial turf weighs about ½ pound per square foot without fill. Turf with fill can weigh anywhere from 4-8 pounds per square foot depending on the sand / rubber mix used in it's original installation.
Is the used turf material porous?These new generation synthetic turf fields are designed to wick moisture through the blades and turf backing

About Mandy Moore
Amanda Leigh "Mandy" Moore (born April 10, 1984) is an American singer-songwriter, actress and fashion designer. Moore became famous as a teenager in the late 1990s, after the release of her teen pop albums So Real, I Wanna Be with You, and Mandy Moore. In 2007, she took an adult pop-folk direction with the release of Wild Hope. Her most recent album, Amanda Leigh, was released on May 26, 2009. Moore has sold more than 10 million records worldwide. Moore subsequently branched out into film, starring in 2002's A Walk to Remember and later in other movies, such as Chasing Liberty, Saved! and License to Wed. Most recently Moore provided the voice of Rapunzel in Tangled. In April 2011, she ranked 5th in People's annual Most Beautiful issue.
Early life
Moore was born in Nashua, New Hampshire. Her mother, Stacy (née Friedman), is a former news reporter who once worked for the Orlando Sentinel, and her father, Donald "Don" Moore, is a pilot for American Airlines. Moore's father is of Irish and Cherokee descent, and her mother is of half English and half Jewish ancestry. Moore, who has an older brother Scott and a younger brother Kyle, grew up in Longwood, Florida, outside of Orlando, where the family moved shortly after her birth because of her father's job as an airline pilot. She was raised Catholic (though she is no longer practicing), and attended Bishop Moore High School, in Orlando, as well as Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs.
Moore's interest in singing grew after seeing the musical Oklahoma!.[citation needed] She was also encouraged to perform by her English-born maternal grandmother, who was her inspiration. Some of Moore's first public exposure occurred when she sang the national anthem at several Florida sporting events.[citation needed] She subsequently came to the attention of the head of the artists and repertoire department at Epic Records after his friend, a FedEx employee, overheard her as she sang at a recording studio.
Music career
So Real
Moore toured with N'SYNC throughout the first half of 1999. Her debut album, So Real, was released in December 1999 and reached No.31 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album charts. Unfortunately for her image, at the time of the album's release, reviewers considered Moore the latest in a series of heavily-marketed female teen singers described as "pop princesses," akin to Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Entertainment Weekly Magazine's review of So Real, written by Elizabeth Vincentelli, accused Moore's songs of revolving around "not-yet-experienced love," of having been performed with "suffocating professionalism," and called the album's ballads "nauseating."
Moore reached mainstream radio later, and at a younger age, than Aguilera and Spears had, and she was initially not as successful as they were. However, So Real was still certified platinum in the U.S. in early 2000 and sold nearly one million copies. Moore's debut teen-oriented pop hit single "Candy," which Yahoo! Movies described as "strangely provocative," peaked just outside the top 40 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts, and was certified gold. The single was more successful in Europe, especially in the UK, where it reached number 6.[citation needed] Allmusic called the single "mediocre" and "typical," containing lyrics that described love "in terms of sugar treats."
I Wanna Be with You
Moore released I Wanna Be with You in May 2000. The album, which was mostly completed with synthesizers, bass, guitar, and drums comprised new songs alongside tracks and remixes from So Real. Several reviewers criticized it on the basis that it was a remix album and not a true follow-up, with Allmusic accusing its style of being "trashier, flashier, gaudier, and altogether more disposable" than that of So Real. It peaked at No.21 on the Billboard 200, was certified gold in the U.S., selling nearly 1,000,000 copies. The title track, "I Wanna Be with You," was the album's only single and reached No.24 on the Hot 100, Moore's highest peak to date. It was also featured on the soundtrack of the film Center Stage in 2000.
Mandy Moore
In June 2001, Moore released her second full-length album, her third overall, the self-titled album Mandy Moore. She promoted the album with her first headlining concert, "Mandy Moore Live@ShoutBack." The album contained uptempo tracks and influences from Eastern music, and Allmusic described it as a "lush, layered production." It received mixed reviews from other critics. The album debuted at No.35 on the Billboard 200, and was later certified gold in the U.S., selling 443,000 copies. The lead single was "In My Pocket," which Entertainment Weekly said contained "pumping, Indian influenced Euro disco." The album's follow-up single was titled "Crush." The early 2002 release of the final single, "Cry", tied in with the film A Walk to Remember, Moore's debut as a lead actress.
In 2006, Moore commented on her early albums, noting that although she believed that her first album was appropriate for her age at the time when she released it, she felt it "sucked" and that her first albums were "just awful." Moore also said that she "would give a refund to everyone who bought my first two albums" if she could; during a radio interview in April 2006, the show's co-host—who had seen her comments—asked her for a refund on the first album, a request that Moore fulfilled.
In October 2003, Moore released her fourth album Coverage, which Allmusic characterized as a "leap to musical maturity" and which Entertainment Weekly called an "effort to shed her bubblegum-blond image". The album peaked at No.14 on the Billboard 200; but "Have a Little Faith in Me" and "Senses Working Overtime", its only two singles, did not perform well on the charts. Moore's cover of "I Feel the Earth Move" appeared on Love Rocks, a compilation CD of songs from gay rights supporters.
Due to creative differences between Moore and her label, a split was announced. The company released the hits compilation album The Best of Mandy Moore, which reached No.148 on the Billboard 200 in November 2004 as a final obligation to Moore's contract. Another compilation, Candy, followed in 2005. During this time period, the only music Moore had recorded was a song demo, "Hey!", written by James Renald, and a cover version of Lori McKenna's "Beautiful Man".[citation needed] Moore also voiced the character "Nita" in the 2006 film, Brother Bear 2.
In early 2006, Moore stated that she missed her music career and that singing is what she was the "most passionate about." Moore had signed to Sire Records after her contract with Epic Records ended, but she left the company in May 2006.[citation needed] She signed with a new EMI Music-owned record company, The Firm, in July that year, describing her new contract as "especially exciting," and adding that she left Sire Records because she did not want to "follow the mainstream," but rather have "complete control and freedom" over her work. Moore's new album, Wild Hope, was released on June 19, 2007, and includes collaborations with artists Chantal Kreviazuk, Rachael Yamagata, Lori McKenna and The Weepies. Moore stayed alone in a house in Woodstock in Upstate New York while recording the album in late 2006. She performed new material from Wild Hope at the Sundance Film Festival;[citation needed] her first single, "Extraordinary," premiered on her MySpace profile on January 29, 2007. Moore performed the song at the Brick Awards on April 12, 2007 and launched a tour in the summer of 2007.
The album was released in the USA in June 2007 to positive reviews.[citation needed] It fared moderately well on the charts, debuting at number thirty on the Billboard 200 (Moore's third highest charting album in the U.S.), and at number 84 in Canada. In August 2007, Moore toured with Paula Cole, and Rachael Yamagata, playing at mid-size venues in the United States and Canada.[citation needed] Wild Hope was placed at number 10 on Entertainment Weekly's "The Must List" and also named Reader's Choice for that August 10 issue, two months after its release. Moore surprised many with a free concert in Boston on July 18, 2007.
On February 23, 2008, Moore released Wild Hope in Australia, and subsequently toured with Ben Lee and the West Australian Symphony Orchestra in Western Australia, supporting Kelly Clarkson on her tour.[citation needed] In October 2008, Moore posted on her website blog live videos of three new songs she's been working on, along with singer-songwriter, pianist and guitarist Mike Viola. It was at first expected to a be a duo album between the two, but then in January 2009, it was revealed it would be a solo album with a collaboration with him, slated for release in April 2009.
On June 2009, Moore performed 5 tracks of her new Amanda Leigh album, including "Nothing Everything" and "Love To Love Me Back," at the Walmart Soundcheck show.
In May 2009, she released her latest album, Amanda Leigh, to generally positive reviews. Rolling Stone said about the album: "the title is taken from the singer's real first and middle names, the acoustic instrumentation emits a cozy campfire glow, and the album was recorded in a modest basement home studio. Message: This is real music, not computerized starlet pop."[citation needed] Time Magazine said that the album was "impeccably recorded." An article on the album by Paper Magazine said, "Mandy (in the album)... shows real thoughtful and emotional depth." Paper concluded that "Moore is a far better musician than she's often given credit for."
Moore has a total of singles sales in Australia of more than 241,000 copies, and was ranked at # 281 on the 1000 artists chart of ARIA Music Decade Charts (1980–2010).
In 2010, Moore voiced Rapunzel in Disney animation film Tangled and recorded several songs for the soundtrack, including the Oscar-nominated "I See the Light", which she performed live during the Oscar presentation in February 2011. She also stated that she is working on a new album to be released in the end of 2011 or early 2012.
Acting career
During the summer of 2000, Moore hosted a half-hour MTV talk show, The Mandy Moore Show, which was renamed Mandy a year later. Moore was also a Neutrogena spokesperson, appearing in commercials and print ads for the product. She has modelled for Penshoppe in the Philippines, Coach handbags in Japan, and was a spokesperson for the School and Youth Programs of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Her first acting role was in the straight-to-video children's film Magic Al and the Mind Factory in which she plays the character of Brittany Foster.
In 2001, Moore appeared in a small part as the mean and popular cheerleader Lana Thomas opposite actresses Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews in the film The Princess Diaries. During the film, Moore's character performs "Stupid Cupid," a song from the film's soundtrack. She also had a voiceover role in Dr. Dolittle 2 as the Girl Bear Cub. In 2002, Moore had her first starring role in a major feature film in A Walk to Remember, which co-starred Shane West. Based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, the film revolved around the developing romance between a Protestant minister's daughter Jamie Sullivan (Moore) and an unruly teenager Landon Carter (West). The film was moderately successful, bringing in $41 million in the United States, and establishing Moore's status as a lead actress. Although the film received mainly negative reviews, Moore received several positive notices for her performance, with critic Roger Ebert calling her "quietly convincing". At that summer's MTV Movie Awards, Moore won an award for "Breakthrough Female Performance" for the role. The same year, she voiced the Final Fantasy VII character Aerith Gainsborough in the Square-Disney crossover video game Kingdom Hearts, was featured in the music video for Elton John's "Original Sin", and was ranked number sixty-seven in Stuff magazine's "102 Sexiest Women in the World".
In 2003, Moore starred in the romantic comedy film How to Deal, which failed to draw in teenage crowds in the U.S. and grossed a total of $14 million domestically. Her next film was 2004's Chasing Liberty, a romantic comedy that grossed approximately $12 million. Both films received negative reviews; however, Ebert once again singled Moore's performances out, noting in his review of How to Deal that Moore has "an unaffected natural charm" and "almost makes the movie worth seeing," and adding in his Chasing Liberty review that she has "undeniable screen presence and inspires instant affection." Other critics described her as an "actress of limited range," though one review of Chasing Liberty noted that she was the "most painless of former pop princesses." Later in 2004, Moore appeared in a lead role in the religion satire Saved! in which she played Hilary Faye, a proper and popular girl at a Christian school. The film was positively reviewed, though it did not receive a wide release. Moore received praise for her performance, with one critic calling her a "demented delight" and another naming it her best performance to date. She sang a cover version of The Beach Boys 1966 hit "God Only Knows," with Michael Stipe, that bookended the movie.
In 2005, Moore lent her voice to the film Racing Stripes as Sandy the white horse and appeared on the television series Entourage; she was also originally scheduled to star in the films Cursed, Havoc, and The Upside of Anger, all of which were eventually released in 2005 without Moore's involvement.
In 2006, Moore guest-starred in two episodes of Scrubs: "My Half-Acre" and "Her Story II". The same year, she lent her voice to The Simpsons, playing Tabitha Vixx in the episode "Marge and Homer Turn a Couple Play".
Moore also appeared in the film American Dreamz, which was released in April 2006. In the film, she played a deranged contestant on a television series modeled after American Idol. Director Paul Weitz stated that he had Moore in mind for the role before she was cast, explaining that "there's something inherently sweet about Mandy; it makes it all the more interesting to see her in a villainess role". Moore has said that she enjoys playing mean-spirited characters but fears being typecast as a villain. American Dreamz opened at number nine at the U.S. box office, eventually totaling barely $7 million, and received mixed reviews; critic Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly, however, wrote that Moore and co-star Hugh Grant have a "wicked barbed chemistry" in their roles, while Variety's Robert Koehler said Moore's role was a "pitch-perfect study of a woman for whom a reality show is reality".
Later that year, in what ComingSoon.net's review described as a "surprisingly good performance", Moore voiced Nita, the heroine of the Disney animated sequel Brother Bear 2, which was released directly-to-DVD on August 29. She was also originally cast to appear in that year's ensemble film Bobby, but was replaced by Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Moore, citing her conservative upbringing, has expressed dissatisfaction with her appearance on a May 2006 cover of Cosmopolitan; the magazine's headline is "orgasms unlimited", which refers to an article unrelated to her. In her movie following this, Because I Said So, co-starring Gabriel Macht, Lauren Graham and Diane Keaton, Moore's character describes in detail the feeling of an orgasm to her mother. It was released on February 2, 2007 and received mixed reviews. In License to Wed, Moore portrays a young bride-to-be who has to complete a three-week prenup course before her wedding. Co-starring John Krasinski as her fiance and Robin Williams as a priest, the film was released on July 3, 2007 to mostly negative reviews. Nevertheless, Variety described Moore's performance as "appealing." In 2007, Moore returned to the small screen in an episode of How I Met Your Mother entitled "Wait for It".
After a break of almost two years from big screen roles, Moore filmed the romantic comedy Swinging with the Finkels in the United Kingdom in 2009 for a 2011 release. Moore also starred with actor Kellan Lutz in the 2010 film, Love, Wedding, Marriage. She was a guest star on the sixth season finale of Grey's Anatomy on May 20, 2010, her first television role since 2007. She returned in a guest role for an episode of the show's seventh season.[citation needed] Also that year, Moore voiced Princess Rapunzel in the CGI animated film Tangled. Moore, alongside Zachary Levi, performed the film's theme song, "I See the Light" at the 83rd Academy Awards where it was nominated for Best Original Song.
In October 2011, it was announced that she is set to star in an ABC comedy titled Us and Them.
Along with her voice role in the upcoming 2012 Tron: Uprising animated series, she is also set to be the title character voice in the Disney Junior series Oki's Oasis.
Fashion career
Moore branched into the fashion world in 2005 with her own fashion line named Mblem., a brand of contemporary knitwear and cashmere. One of her aims was to provide clothing for taller women (Moore herself is 5'10). In February 2009, Moore announced that the line would be shutting down, but that she hoped to reenter the fashion world again under different circumstances in the future.
According to a press release from her own official website, Moore was involved in teaming up with nonprofit organization PSI, and its subsidiary, Five and Alive, in fighting malaria in Africa.
According to USA Today, Moore was also involved in serving as the Honorary Chairperson of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's division on awareness for youth. She served as a spokesperson by helping young people be aware of the seriousness of leukemia and lymphoma. She also serves as the spokesperson for Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, held every January. In addition, to increase cervical cancer awareness, Moore teamed up with Dr. Yvonne Collins, The Gynecologic Cancer Foundation (GCF), and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).
Personal life
Her relationships with Adam Goldstein aka DJ AM, singer Billy Crawford, tennis player Andy Roddick, and actors Wilmer Valderrama and Zach Braff, as well as her marriage to singer Ryan Adams, have become the subject of media coverage. Moore and Adams were married on March 10, 2009, in Savannah.
Moore has become a fan of mixed martial arts, often attending UFC events.
As to her religious beliefs, Moore considers herself spiritual, and has said that she does not think of herself as Christian.
Reporters have mentioned that Moore has a slight lisp in her performances, but Moore denied having one when asked by a fan on her official blog.

Why do so many people love this movie anyway? It uses the exact same plot that you've heard in every single movie before. Seriously. The story line is uninteresting and horribly cliche, the characters aren't memorable, and I just HATE hearing it everywhere I go! I hate how it seems to get so much more critical acclaim than Ice Age! Ice Age was a MUCH better movie than Rio! Plus the jokes in Rio were horribly forced. Barely any of them made me laugh. Not to mention the fact that people use Rio in more animash's instead of Ice Age. Seriously, this movie is just horribly overrated. I hate how people say that its the greatest animated film of 2011 and that people who don't like it don't know a good movie. No, I think I'd know a good movie, considering the fact that this movie was far too predictable and forgettable. The only thing good about it was the animation and music. That's it. It uses every single tired cliche and everything. Ice Age deserved much better attention than THIS boring ...more
What the heck? This movies is not overrated at all. I'm 18 years old girl and I really liked this movie. This movie can be watched over and over again which is exactly what I do only I skip little parts but watch most of it again. Get this off the list because it is a great and fantastic movie and not overrated at all. - LucyLu18
None of you know what overrated means.
THIS MOVIE IS UNDERRATED!V 5 Comments
It's not overrated. If it is, too bad. It's one of the best movies ever. You make a four star movie, and then tell me about it, and I'll watch. I'll tell the world yours is overrated if I wanted to.
Silence of the Lambs does not age well. Besides the obvious (Hopkins' exceptional acting), the film has many holes; even for it's time-period. Hopkins is a strong actor, in a very mediocre film. The last scene pretty much would never ever happen. It's a film w/ an embarrassing lack of realism.
Good story, good acting good everything. This movie received to many major oscar rewards then it deserved. - preachinpreach
Its not a very overrated movie,it isn't even on top 10 movies of all time lists - zxmV 6 Comments
Don't believe the comments of people who say that the critics who found this film overrated, boring and bad in acting all were wrong! They were right ( for once ). This movie is boring. Sandra Bullock is very bad ( she is screaming all the time and it sounds like she has an orgasm instead of fear ) and the special " action " effects are so predictable that it gives no " viewers effect " at all in matter of being surprised.
No plot, humor, or character development (or characters for that matter) and critics loved it because of the effects? I agree with critics on almost every movie but I am truly baffled at the praise this movie is receiving.
Yeah, I watched it in 3D. And it was the most boring movie I ever watched in the theaters. There was no plot and critics just sucked up to the wasted talent of two admittedly great actors (more Clooney than Bullock, though, and he was only in for less than half the movie).
Its not overrated IMDB but on rotten tomatoes and metacritics - zxmV 5 Comments
That Empire Strikes Back is in number 15 and this in 85 says a lot about moviegoers... and its not particularly a flattering thing.
Star Wars is the most overstated movie in history. It's just dumb crap and lifesavers. George Lucas movies are the worst
Politically correct crap
I am SO SICK of this franchise of movies. This series should've just stayed as a trilogy and they could've moved on with their lives. But then from Phantom Menace onwards, it was complete garbage. Fight me all you want, but these movies have a lack of character development, poor and unoriginal writing, and only exist so the stupid masses will pay them money as they obsess over the action and whatnot. - DCfnaf
How is toy story on this list? It is the best Disney Pixar movie ever made. Whoever who are you are a load of crap, and also, you think titanic is overrated, yeah right (sarcasm)
Finally someone who agrees with me!V 1 Comment
That movie is one of the best comedies ever made it was hilarious. Although it might be a bit overrated it was still a very good movieV 1 Comment
Please forgive me for putting this trilogy on the list. I usually don't bash anything, but let's face it: the Transformers series is not that great. Yes, it's the first time Transformers goes live action and I know it made a huge amount of money and it has your all-time favorite stars, but they're just robots for crying out loud! It's just a movie series that are made to sell toys. If you like the movie series, especially particularly, I respect your opinion. It's those stupid people and fantards who can't let the movies go, along with the haters. The critics who panned the films are not the problem at all. It only gets an academy award for best picture if it's worth it! In other words, just let it go.
Not really sure if the Transformers franchise can be considered overrated because anyone with even half a brain will realise immediately that these movies are poorly acted poorly written crap by the no-talent hack Michael Bay.
This movie made me realize that the Cartoons that I loved as a kid, really were not as good as I remember.
Loved this one. The other 3 were terrible.V 1 Comment
Does not belong here. Great movie, not a classic but who's saying that?
My favorite movie ever if you think its overrated you have a terrible taste in movies. - JustinDanger
This movie not here in mind. This movie here in heart.
To tell you the truth, this movie is nothing special. It's the same story we've seen a million times before. A young boy finds a creature and befriends it.
And plus, the young boy in this movie is an ass! He's horrible to his stepparents and he's just down right unlikable.
I love the work of Martin Scorsese but this is one of his " not so good " movies. Actor Matthew McConaughey was a mistake for this movie. Overrated.V 1 Comment
Such an humiliating movie from a really good cast. The writing is a complete joke and the emotional scenes are so forced and so contrived it has me on the floor laughin my ass off. Anyone who thinks this movie I better than Brokeback Mountain is a dips--t.
Brokeback fan...feeling the need to make a derogatory remark about another just because of their taste in film says more about the person writing the comment than the actual film!
Crash, by the way, is a great film - not the greatest film ever but nevertheless, still great.
I can't believe that this movie is still concidered as the greatest movie of all time. I love the work of Orson Welles but this movie is definitively not his best. By far are his movies like for instance " A touch of evil ", " The lady from Shangai " way much better. The latter two movies are even better in camera work and techniques, not to mention the story and the script. Why " Citizen Kane " is so overrated is really beyond me 'cause if you watch all the work that Orson Welles has done then this one is not that great. It's just a good movie that you will watch once or twice, but that's about it. It's certainly not his best and even some non-Orson Welles at that time were better. Too overrated for sure.
How the hell is this not number 1? So many people consider this to be the best movie of all time, and it has aged very poorly. What was once revolutionary is now just a movie with basic film techniques, terrible acting (except from Orson Welles), and a plot that is downright BORING.
How anybody compares this to the Godfather is beyond any form of reason.
Great movie. Yes. Greatest movie of all time. No. -
It is not the greatest movie, it's still good, but it's reputation as the "greatest movie of all time" is really laughable as time went on.V 4 Comments
So Overrated Its Here Twice! - VideoGamefan5
So Overrated, Its Here Twice,
I think that the overrating aspect for this movie comes mainly from the media related to the hollywood executives politics ( they have to sell and make as much of money ) but the movie is actually very good ( not the best film ever made but nevertheless a very entertaining movie ). Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso was in my opinion a very good choise ( her performance is outstanding and she's a very beautiful actress ) and come on, this was the last time for Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia ( too bad she died a few weeks later [ I wish she didn't ] but closing her carreer in a same role that made her an icon couldn't been have better ). Overrated? Maybe. But the film is not bad at all and certainly worth to watch.
Best Harry Potter movie ever without a doubt. - JustinDanger
The series is already overrated
Its more of underrated - zxm

A looming storm and high tides put a temporary halt to operations to recover the remains of more than 100 people still missing over a week after the huge ferry capsized.
"Over the weekend, strong wind and rain is expected in the Jindo area", a coastguard spokesman told journalists.
"As efforts to find the missing people are becoming protracted, there are growing concerns among their families that bodies might be lost for good", he said.
The confirmed death toll stood Saturday at 187, with 115 unaccounted for – many bodies are believed trapped in the ferry that capsized on April 16 with 476 people on board.
Making up the bulk of the passengers on the 6,825 tonne Sewol when it sank were 325 high school students -- around 250 of whom are either confirmed or presumed dead.
Although all hope of finding survivors has been extinguished, there is still anger and deep frustration among relatives of the missing over the pace of the recovery operation.
