pretty good mock. Good luck getting Alan Branch in the middle of the 2nd round for your bills. He is looking like a 5-15 pick and rising.

I like it sorta. It really is a toss up between Lynch or Landry. I am on the Lynch side but I like Landry. If you do a RD 2 give GB Irons and it would be perfect!! Good job.

I would be suprised if the Vikings took a CB in round 2. We have two top paid CB's in the NFL and we drafted a CB in round 2 this past draft. I think that Miller or a S would make more sense there in the second round. But the first round pick I like a lot.

6 Tennesee Titans Adrian Peterson RB Oklahoma
I know that quite a few Titans fans wouln't agree with me here but I actually like this choice. I just don't know how the organization could pass on a player of AP's calibur. He is still young and even though our RB situation is working out now, who says it is in the future...
Great choice man. Another good pick would have been Gaines Adams.
6 Tennesee Titans Lawrence Jackson DE USC
Decent pick but I would rather see us take Aaron Rouse there to help out the secondary.

I highly doubt we take a part time player in Bush in the 1st. Patrick Willis or Buster Davis would be better picks.
I like the 2nd round pick. However, if we can get Bush in the 2nd or Leonard in the 2nd or 3rd, its much more of a possibility.

Religious broadcasters eat up airwaves. Religious broadcasters are eating up most noncommercial stations when they come on the market. Rev. Don Wildmon's American Family Radio Wildmon owns 194 stations, has 18 affiliates and hundreds of applications pending with the FCC, compared to National Public Radio's 273 member organizations. Federal law permits noncommercial broadcasters with licenses for full-power stations to push out those with weaker signals. Source: New York Times, Sept. 2002
Thou shalt cheat? Students at private religious high schools are more apt to cheat on a test than those at other schools, according to "Report Card 2002: The Ethics of American Youth" by the Josephson Institute for Ethics. The survey found 78% of students at religious schools said they had cheated at least once on exams in the last year, compared with 72% of students at other schools.

Suffer the children. More than 200 U.S. children have died in the past 15 years because parents used faith healing instead of medical care.

Fruits of patriarchal religion. Global violence against women is linked to women's inferior status worldwide. Violence accounts for 7% of deaths among girls and women.

Half of all women in poor countries give birth without trained attendants; 60% receive no care after birth, 35% get no prenatal care. About 300 million women worldwide lack access to contraception.

Groth, Leitermann to Play on USA Team in Costa Rica
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Former Green Bay volleyball players Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) and Carmen Leitermann (Schofield, Wis.), who starred for the Phoenix from 2009-12, will both play on the United States squad at the Costa Rican Volleyball Series in San Jose, Costa Rica from July 29-Aug. 5. The competition is sponsored by USA Athletes International (USAAI), a non-profit organization that allows amateur athletes to participate in international, Olympic-style events.
Players are selected to the USAAI team based on recommendations from coaches, athletes and other athletics professionals. In addition to statistics and athletic ability, recommendations must also consider character, leadership and academic success.
The USAAI volleyball team will play a total of four matches during the eight-day trip, while also getting to travel and experience the sights and culture that Costa Rica has to offer. In addition, the team will put on a clinic to teach the game of volleyball to local children.
"We are proud of Brittany and Carmen for continuing their volleyball careers after having successful careers at Green Bay," first-year head coach Michaela Franklin said. "We wish them nothing but the best and we are excited to have them represent Green Bay volleyball in Costa Rica."
Groth and Leitermann were both All-Horizon League performers for the Phoenix as seniors in 2012 after posting record-breaking seasons. It marked Groth's second-straight all-league honor, and the first of Leitermann's career.
A 5-foot-9 libero, Groth was also named to the AVCA All-Midwest Region Team and Honorable Mention All-America after tallying a school-record 680 digs as a senior. She led the Horizon League and ranked third among all NCAA Division I players with 6.24 digs per set in 2012, setting a new single-season school record. Groth was the league's defensive player of the week three times during her senior campaign and finished her standout career as Green Bay's all-time digs leader with 1,851.
"Pursuing volleyball beyond my college career has always been a goal of mine," Groth said. "Words cannot describe how thankful I am to be selected to represent the United States in this event. I cannot think of a more rewarding opportunity than getting to continue playing the game I am passionate about while also playing for my country."
Leitermann, a 6-foot-2 middle blocker, broke Green Bay's all-time solo blocks record in 2012, finishing with 102 over her four-year career. The previous record of 97, held by Marie Kaland (1992-95), was the longest-standing career mark in the Phoenix record books. Leitermann also ranks in the top-10 in a number of other statistical categories, including fourth in career kills with an even 1,000.
"Being offered the chance to play in Costa Rica for the USA is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I couldn't be more thankful," Leitermann said. "I cannot wait to continue playing the sport I love with Brittany and our other teammates while also exploring a place that I have never traveled to."
Groth and Leitermann said they plan to prepare for their trip to Costa Rica by working out and scrimmaging with members of the current Phoenix team periodically throughout the summer.
The USAAI has been participating in international competition since 1992 and supports 15 sports that compete in 25 different countries throughout the world. Stay tuned to GreenBayPhoenix.com to follow Groth and Leitermann in the Costa Rican Volleyball Series.

Final drive comes up short in stunning 21-20 loss for Cowboys
The final drive for the Custer County District High School football team pretty well encapsulated how the game went on Saturday afternoon in Havre.
There were costly penalties, big plays and a little controversy, but ultimately the Cowboys came up just short.
The Cowboys fell to Havre 21-20 in the first round of the Class A playoffs to end their season at 5-4-1.
"It was a real tough loss," Cowboys head coach Dan Stanton said. "It was one of those games that it came down to certain plays and situations. We had high expectations for the game. I just feel bad for the kids and the seniors."
With their season on the line, and trailing 21-20, the Cowboy defense forced a Havre punt with 4:07 left to play in the fourth quarter. That punt sailed just two yards and the Cowboys took over at their own 47-yard line.
After moving the ball into Havre territory, Cowboy quarterback Ben Herzog was tackled awkwardly and came off the field with an apparent knee injury. Alec Haughian took over at quarterback and on third down was stopped for a one-yard gain. But a holding penalty was called on the Cowboys, backing them up to the Havre 43 and forcing a third-and-14 situation.
Haughian's pass was incomplete and brought up fourth down. Herzog limped back on the field for the big play and hooked up with Haughian for a 17-yard gain to give the Cowboys a huge first down at the Havre 26.
Another holding penalty was called on the Cowboys on first down, pushing them back to the Havre 40 and setting up first-and-24. Herzog was sacked for a seven-yard loss and his second-down pass to Alec Haughian went for -3 yards.
Facing third-and-34, Herzog connected with Evan Haughian out of the backfield for a 13-yard gain and set up a monumental fourth-and-21.
Herzog's pass missed Alec Haughian, mostly because Haughian was being held and the Blue Ponies were whistled for a pass interference. The 15-yard penalty set the Cowboys up for fourth-and-six at the Havre 23, and again Herzog came through with a big 15-yard pass to Alec Haughian for the first down at the eight-yard line.
With no timeouts, the Cowboys hustled to the line and Herzog spiked the ball with 20 seconds to play in the fourth to stop the clock. His second-down pass was incomplete, and then the Cowboys were whistled for a false start to set the third-down play at the 13.
On third down, Herzog was flushed to the right and was stopped for a small loss.
With the clock running, at 13 seconds, the Cowboys again hurried to the line for a fourth-down play.
The umpire initially set the ball on the wrong yard line, and by the time the ball was placed on the correct yard line, the clock ran out and the Cowboys' season was over.
"We had a good tempo going on that final drive," Stanton said. "We always have confidence in what we do. I thought we had a good opportunity to score."
The way the game started, it looked as if the Cowboys were going to run away with the win and advance to the quarterfinals.
On the opening kick, Cowboy Draven Winkley knocked the ball out of the Havre returner's hands, and Wyatt Lesh recovered to give the Cowboys the ball at the Havre 30-yard line.
Eleven plays later, Herzog connected with Brett Keith for a 31-yard score to get the Cowboys on the board.
On Havre's second play from scrimmage, Evan Haughian stepped in front of a Dane Warp pass and intercepted it, giving the Cowboys the ball again at their own 25-yard line. They went 75 yards in 14 plays that culminated in a 25-yard strike from Herzog to Alec Haughian on fourth down.
Havre cut the score with a touchdown early in the second quarter, but just before halftime the Cowboys moved the ball 44 yards on consecutive pass plays to Keith and Alec Haughian. Herzog punched it in from three yards out to give the Cowboys a 20-7 lead going into halftime.
But in the second half, the Cowboy offense sputtered. Up until their final drive, the Cowboys picked up just four first downs and punted five times.
"We were able to get some good yardage, just were put in bad situations with some of the penalties," Stanton said. "Defensively we just gave up a couple plays that put them in scoring position."
The Cowboys, like most teams Havre has played, had a hard time slowing down Warp and the passing game. Warp, a sophomore, finished with 319 yards passing in the game. Freshmen running back Parker Filius also proved to be hard to contain, with 199 combined yards.
The Cowboys controlled the clock, holding the ball for nearly 12 minutes longer than Havre and running 87 offensive plays. They gained 359 yards of total offense, but they were undone by 12 penalties that cost the Cowboys 122 yards.
Herzog ended his career with 175 yards passing and 91 yards rushing. Herzog, along with linemen Cody Wacker and Colton Pederson, were the lone seniors for the Cowboys this season.

Will most likely ask a lot of questions as I get info together, but for now.
When you set up a trust, do you need to do it with someone in your state or could I get it done by someone in another state and just have it finalized by a notary here?
I ask because they seem expensive to have done here, been seeing prices like $300-500, I just think that's too much for such a simple document.
If there's a thread some where that explains this, please post it.

Mornings gobbled up by turkey fever
07 February 2013 , 1:27 PM by Kallee Buchanan
Really, I only have myself to blame.
I've recently become fascinated by the humble bird known as the turkey.
It started when I watched a documentary called My Life as a Turkey. It was a fascinating look at the birds in the wild.
Then we got a call from a publican who had found two turkeys during the floods.
It prompted this promo.

|I concur, the pup I had that had a dog door access was basically house trained by 8 weeks. Very very few accidents (just a few times I lost track of time and wasn't paying attention). He would even go to the door and "ask" to go out. The pup I have now was raised in a barn-type pen with shavings (I think) so has taken longer to house train. His idea of "going potty" was finding the far corner of the pen and peeing there, lol, so I stopped using a pen at my house. He actually is less likely to have an accident *not* crated or penned and having free reign of the house. Mother is a kenneled dog so she probably doesn't have super "clean" habits herself. A clean mother and a pen with a dog door is the way to go!
I have to say, if all breeders had the setup that Chris posted, they'd go home at 8 weeks pretty much housetrained! My pup only ever had 3 accidents inside because of the excellent way she starts them off.
They are also use to being crated by themselves for short periods of time(during meals then afterwards for a bit) so crate training goes smoothly too!
The transition to new homes goes so much easier when the puppy is already aclimated to a crate, and being all alone for short periods.

Thanks for the tips. Looks like we will be going to Lowes tonight.
Cute pups by the way.
Is that a doggie door to the outside?

A regular sized cat litterbox is WAY too small. We found the 3x5 showerpan to be barely big enough. A small plastic kids wading pool can work as a litterbox too so long as the sides aren't too high for them to easily get in and out. They may eat a few pellets at first to taste them, but there's really no worry about them eating a lot of pellets. The pellets are just pine, non-toxic, and will pass right through.
Get a large, heavy no-tip water bowl from the pet store. Biggest, heaviest one you can find.
|Chris Wild
For our last litter we decided to go with a slightly smaller litterbox. This was a shower pan we picked up for $40 on clearance at Lowe's.
Great looking pen! SHould we just use a regular size litterbox (like for a cat)? What if they start trying to eat the pellets? (They are in to everything right now) Is there a way that we could fasten the water bowl down so they don't tip it?
They are currently on mush 2 times a day and we are gradually working it up to more "chunks" of the puppy food. Should they be eating more?
|Chris Wild
Set up a litterbox in one corner of the pen. Keep their sleeping/eating area on the other side of the pen. Before long they will start using the litterbox almost exclusively. Keep their sleeping/eating area spotless so that they are drawn to the litterbox by the scent of having peed/pooped in it before. For litter we use pine pellets made for horse stalls that we get at the farm store. You can also use pine or cedar chips/shavings but I like the pellets best.
At this age their dam is going to start weaning them, so you need to start offering them solid food. And yes, they need to have access to clean water at all times.
Here's a photo of our puppy set up with the separate areas.
Pen for 5 week old litter pups
The welping box that we used for the birthing up to now has worked great. However, now that the pups (7 of them) are running around and doing their business, we need a better plan of action to keep the area clean. We currently are using used comforters with puppy pads under them and changing the comforter and pads out daily. While they are doing a great job, we need something that will better absorb and let the pups still have plenty of room to lay around without them either tearing up the comforter, puppy pads and keeping the pee/poop section seperate from their laying down and playing area (so that they don't step in the poop - which the mom now will go in and clean up).
We currently have a homemade box with plastic netting that is about the size of a queen size comforter.
Also, not pen related, but the mom pretty much is almost done nursing and really doesn't go in the pen (except to eat the poo) so should we be putting a bowl of water in the pen (they are let out in the morning and evening to eat and drink and play and again during the day to drink and play in our kitchen). If so, any recommendations on how to keep the water from not tipping over?
Thanks for any advice/suggestions.

New Orelans • Colin Kaepernick got tripped up and tossed down, then still nearly led the greatest Super Bowl comeback in just his 10th career NFL start.
Rarely rattled on an impressive path to the Super Bowl, San Francisco's second-year quarterback finally showed some inexperience on football's big stage. Not to mention some guts.
After a remarkable postseason run with those speedy legs by the tattooed play-caller, the Baltimore Ravens exposed plenty of flaws in handing Kaepernick and Co. a 34-31 loss Sunday despite San Francisco's second-half rally.
"We were ready for the second half," Kaepernick said. "We knew we had to score to get back in the game. We had good plays, we had bad plays in the red zone."
No team has come from more than 10 points down to win a Super Bowl, and Kaepernick had a chance to make it happen less than three months after becoming San Francisco's starter.
He regrouped during a 34-minute delay early in the third quarter because of a power outage, finding his groove and turning the Super Bowl into a wild game down the stretch and gave yet more cred to the pistol offense designed by his old college coach that is so well suited for the NFL's young, mobile quarterbacks.
"Colin was cool the entire game," left tackle Joe Staley said. "Colin was the same he's been the whole entire season. He's never shown any hints of being rattled, any hint of being uncomfortable on the football field, and he showed that exact kind of character today."
Kaepernick directed four second-half scoring drives, throwing a 31-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree and also running 15 yards for a TD. But the 49ers missed the two-point conversion that would have tied the game with less than 10 minutes left.
Crabtree didn't get much help in a mistake-filled first half by San Francisco (13-5-1), which failed to stop Joe Flacco and deliver the franchise's sixth championship that would have matched the Pittsburgh Steelers for most ever.
Yet Kaepernick did a little bit of everything in San Francisco's final drive, when the 49ers got the ball back at their own 20 with 4:19 remaining and trailing 34-29. He ran for 8 yards, hit Crabtree on a 24-yard gain and handed off to Frank Gore for a 33-yard run to the Baltimore 7.
But with three chances from the 5, Kaepernick threw three straight incomplete passes intended for Crabtree, who got tangled up with a defender on the final play but no holding was called Harbaugh screamed from the sideline and signaled for a penalty.
Kaepernick's off-balance throw under pressure on fourth down sailed through the end zone. Kaepernick lowered his head slightly and walked slowly off the field.
"That wasn't the original option," Kaepernick said. "It's something I audibled to at the line based on the look they gave us."
Kaepernick wound up 16-for-28 for 302 yards with three sacks and an interception for a 91.7 passer rating in his outstanding Super Bowl debut. The interception was the first by the 49ers in six Super Bowls and ended a streak at 169 passes without one.
Kaepernick also rushed for 62 yards, joining Joe Montana as the only quarterbacks to pass for 300 yards and run for 50 in a Super Bowl.

Nashua poet: 'I just like to play with words'
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent | February 06. 2014 7:44PM
After 12 years of writing poems, Scaer, a Nashua resident for about 20 years, has finally published his first book.
"I really wanted this book to entertain people," said Scaer, a special education teacher at Pelham High School. "Honestly, I am probably the most boring guy in New Hampshire."
"My target audience is people who, as children, liked Mother Goose, 'A Child's Garden of Verses' or 'Where the Sidewalk Ends,' but lost their interest in poetry when it lacked rhythm, rhyme and it stopped making sense," he said. "There's a magic to the metrical forms that I hope will win people back to poetry."
Scaer admits that he doesn't write as often as he used to. When his children were younger, Scaer said, he wrote about a poem a day, but now he has time for about one poem per month.
"I love when the music of meter and rhyme stick in your head so you'll always have a few lines of verse with you when you need them," he added.

ok You tell us nothing about your set up, only about your cam, and then somebody says 12*, so I guess you mean ignition timing not cam timing.
Nothing like guessing away 60 hp/torque. huh?
12* initial is a good starting place , considering your altitude and that we don't know anything about your set up.
centrifugal should start at 1000 rpm and come in about 24* at 3000 rpm, lower will probably be too aggressive.
vacuum should do about 12*, variable as per 60 mph cruise vacuum minus 2. recalibrate for highway load.
Cam timing should be cam company spec, dynamic cranking compression to maximum then advanced 2-4*.
Good luck, you need it.

? about what to set the timing at on a 350 sbc.
I just got my (9.1) .030 350 sbc up and running, after changing the head gaskets, and it sound great Its got KB120 flats, .010 in the hole. A set of .028 GMPerformance head gaskets, and W/P s/r torquer's with 75cc combustion chambers. A Comp EX270HR with (495in - 502ex) (218in - 224 @50) (110 L/S) (1600 - 5400). The manifold is an Edelbrock performer EPS @ 1" four hole spacer, with Edelbrock 600 cfm carb. The distributor is a Mallory HEI, with a 50,000 volt coil. Well timing a motor was never one of my strong points, so what i've come to know is, to place a mark on the distributor, under the cap, whare the 1# plug wire goes. I then, drop the distributor down in, line the rotor up whare i think it should be,and line the mark on the distributor up with the rotor. Instead of starting the motor up at (TDC) i turn the ballancer to 10 deg, before TDC, line the mark on the distributor, up with the rotor again and locked it down. When i attempted to start the motor up, it fired write up and sounded great. The throttle responce is nice to, but im not sure if it needs to be at 8 deg's, 10 deg's, or 12 deg's BTC. So if anybody has some tuning tips, it would be much appreciated. Please Advise

Hi guys! I am currently out of the country, on vacation, but I couldnt wait to share this with you!
One of my prop dreams is to own an original prop relating to Boba Fett. While I still havent quite reached that ultimate goal, I have just come a step closer and picked up a truly awesome piece of Boba Fett replica history; an extremely early casting of the Preproduction #2 Boba Fett helmet! In fact, based on a number of details, I believe this is one of the earliest known castings, alongside the Ken Tarallo Ultracal plug!
While I will have a more thorough breakdown of the helmet, sharing more details next week, when I have returned home, I have written a preliminary article going over the history and some of the findings this new casting has brought to light. Hope you enjoy it, and cant wait to get back home so I can share more with you about it!

Rough idle, stalling and wrench light!!
Hoping the combined knowledge on this site can help. Recently purchased a 2008 SES sedan for my wife, she has to drive a lot for her job and needed a good car with better gas mileage.
Bought the car in November, and worked fine for about two weeks, no problems. Then one day without warning the car seemed to loose power and the wrench light came on. Read the manual and did some online research and found this to be a throttle or transmission problem. Yesterday while she was driving it the car went in to what i think is called "Limp Mode" and would only travel at 5 mph, she pulled over turned the car off, restarted it an the problem went away. Until this morning when I took it to work and it stalled, would idle rough then die. Restarted it only to have it idle so bad the car was shaking had to keep my foot on the brake to keep it from hitting the house.
Took the car to the local dealer to have it scanned (after it happend the first time) and was told it was the throttle body. Was an easy enough fix so purchased a new Throttle Body and installed it myself. Still had the same problem.
Took off the MAF sensor and cleaned it, nothing! Problem still persists! Am going to try the fuel filter and plugs this weekend.
Was also seeing this could be a problem with the Idle Air Control Valve. Does anyone know where this is located and how hard it is to clean/change? Any other helpful hints would be most appreciated is frustrating have already put more into repairs on this car then paid in payments. Seems to be a common problem and not getting any help from the local deal or Ford themselves.
Just more than a little frustrated at Ford, don't trust this car with my wife and kids and have had it less than two months.

Local subdivision shows rebuilding comes at a price
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Oklahoma homeowners devastated by Monday's tornado salvaged what's left of their homes Wednesday. It's the beginning of a long road to rebuild that's all-too-familiar for some Colorado Springs residents.
It's been almost one year since the Waldo Canyon Fire. Construction is still underway for homes wiped out by the fire.
Homes in Parkside at Mountain Shadows subdivision are slowly taking shape on properties in the community. The fire wiped out 141 of its 178 homes.
New homes and heavy construction equipment comes at a price. Bigger homes have required the community's Homeowners Association, to move large drain pipes. Heavy machinery has wrecked curbs and damaged its sprinkler system.
The HOA is asking homeowners to approve a special assessment of $1,700 to cover costs to repair the sprinkler system, curbs and relocating drain pipes.
One board member who didn't want to be identified said the sprinkler system was outdated and the board was already considering replacing the old system.
One resident said the board has done its due-diligence to use the most cost-effective companies to fix existing problems.
However, resident Terry Rector disagrees. His home was destroyed in the fire. He said the board hasn't been upfront about information behind projected costs to fix infrastructure problems. He thinks the special assessment has become a divisive issue in the community.
"There is not enough information being provided and it seems as if they keep changing the rules," said Rector.
Carmen Wood will break ground of her new home shortly. She supports HOA's special assessment.
"We knew there was a monthly fee. We knew there was going to be rules of an HOA but we picked this. It was our choice to move here," said Wood.
"My guess is 90 percent of people who live in this neighborhood, all they have to do is take the bill to the insurance company and it will be paid."
Wood said organizations have already come forward to assist homeowners whose insurance won't cover the special assessment.
Residents will vote on the special assessment at a meeting June 12.

text: UPDATED 06:36 19th June 2014 Lukasz Fabianski became the first summer signing in May 2014 after he joined on a free transfer from Arsenal. The Polish international signed a four-year deal with the club to become Garry Monk's first signing since taking over officially as manager. Fabianski ended a seven-year spell with Arsenal, having played his last game in the FA Cup final win over Hull City at Wembley. Voted Poland's best top-flight keeper in each season during his two-year spell at Legia Warsaw before a £2million move to the Gunners in 2007, Fabianski spent the majority of his time at The Emirates as an understudy. But he signed off on a winning note as his penalty-shootout heroics helped Arsenal to the FA Cup final after a tense semi-final clash with Wigan. Arsene Wenger again included him in his starting XI as the Gunners ended a nine-year wait for a trophy after beating Hull in a dramatic final. On top of domestic duties, Fabianski also managed 14 appearances in the Champions League under Wenger, with his most recent coming in the 1-1 draw at Bayern Munich – in which he saved a penalty - in March 2014 as Arsenal bowed out in the last 16 stage. In his debut season, Fabianski impressed the fans at the Liberty as he featured in 37 Premier League games for the club, missing just one game due to suspension. The Pole kept 13 clean sheets in the Premier League, and was duly awarded with the Players' Player of the Year, Best Newcomer and Away Player of the Year at the team's end of season awards event. He signed a new contract before the opening game of the 2015-16 campaign, with the keeper's new deal seeing him commit to the Swans until June 2019. In June 2016, he helped Poland reach the quarter-finals of the European Championships in France, keeping two clean sheets in four appearances.

text: Retrospective takes a look back at the 1964 Olympics. The key facts are:- The ladies competition was won comfortably by then 2 time and reigning world champion, Sjoukje Dijkstra. Dijkstra would then go on to retain her world title later in 1964 (winning it for a 3rd consecutive time), and then retired to tour with Holiday on Ice. She is the last ladies skater to win an Olympic gold medal, having won a silver or bronze medal at a previous Olympics (she won the silver medal at the 1960 Olympics, the gold having been won by Carol Heiss). The bronze medal in the ladies competition was won by Canada's Petra Burka. She would go onto win the world title in 1965 One intriguing aspect about the ladies competition is the great 'what if', in terms of who would have won the gold medal had Laurence Owen not been killed as a result of the crash of Sabena Flight 548 in 1961. One yardstick by which to gauge how things may have panned out is Wendy Griner. Owen had just beaten Griner into second place to win the 1961 North American Championships. Griner then went on to take the Silver medal at the 1962 World Championships, finishing second to Dijkstra. Hence, even as early as 1962, it would appear as though Owen would have been challenging Dijkstra for supremacy. The pairs competition was won by the Protopopovs. They would retain their Olympic title at the 1968 Olympics, and win 4 consecutive world titles from 1965-68. The pairs silver medal was won by Marika Kilius & Hans-Jürgen Bäumler, who had also won silver at the 1960 Olympics. However, in 1966, it was alleged that they had signed a professional contract prior to the 1964 Olympics. Consequently, they were stripped of their 1964 Olympic silver medals. Nevertheless, the charges against them were dropped by the IOC in 1987, and they were therefore given their silver medals back The gold in the men's competition was won by Manfred Schnelldorfer. He was a surprise winner, as the favourite going into the competition had been Alain Calmat. However, Calmat was notoriously inconsistent, and he fell 3 times during his free program (Calmat would, nevertheless, go on to win the 1965 World title, before retiring). Schnelldorfer was also a pop star at the time. This is one of his tunes from 1964. The winner of the bronze in the men's competition was America's Scott Allen. This was an important medal for the United States, as it was their first Olympic medal following the 1961 air disaster. Allen was only 14 years old at the time, and he still holds the record as the youngest ever male skater to win an Olympic medal (unlikely to ever be beaten given that the current age restrictions are likely to remain in place) It will be noted that the German competitors are listed as having represented 'Germany' in these Olympics, as opposed to 'West' or 'East' Germany. This is because they competed as part of a unified team at these Olympics Here are some videos of the medal winning performances:- MENS Gold: Manfred Schnelldorfer (Germany) This video features clips from the free programs of all 3 medallists Silver: Alain Calmat (France) As well as the clip from the above video, there is also this video of his free program from the 1965 world championships, which he won Bronze: Scott Allen (USA) See video above for clip LADIES Gold: Sjoukje Dijkstra (Netherlands) Compulsories Free Skate Short Clip from Free Skate + Medal Ceremony 1964 Post Olympic ISU Tour of Champions 1963 Tour of Champions Silver: Regine Heitzer (Austria) Free Skate Bronze: Petra Burka (Canada) No video available.

The BoilerMaker Lab, in Knoy 155, houses 10 MakerBot Replicator 2 printers and one Replicator 2x printer.
Any College of Technology student or student team can use the lab. It is operated by the Association of Mechanical and Electrical Technologists (AMET) and is not tied to any course.
Davin Huston, clinical assistant professor of electrical engineering technology and advisor to AMET, said students in several departments can benefit from the BoilerMaker Lab.
"Students will use the lab for making enclosures, mounting brackets, and anything that their imaginations can create," he said. "Computer graphics students could use the printers to produce physical mockups of animated characters they design for their classes. Engineering technology students could make project enclosures, design mounting brackets or conduct stress testing of materials on their designs."
Users of the lab will be charged for the materials they use.
Hello Mr. Huston,
I would like to ask how much the 3D printing costs?
Thank you,

I wanted to make a costume for going to events that had better visibility than my Fett, and wasn't as clunky due to the jetpack. I really liked the Sith Inquisitor art for the game The Old Republic (TOR), but I haven't learned how to use my sewing machine yet and we had an event coming up so I decided to do the whole project with duct tape. Here's what I was going for (more or less):
and here's what I ended up with:
I also made some costumes for my kids, they wanted to be Gundams. The 3 costumes took me about 3 months to make, and I didn't really finish any of them but I think they turned out pretty good.

A Canadian citizen is being held in Saudi Arabia and will most probably lose his head in the coming days despite his claim a confession produced in court was the result of torture. Obviously, anyone outside of Saudi Arabia can not state if Mohamed Kohail is innocent or guilty since the event occurred in Saudi Arabia and access to a fair trial is certainly not among the most notable examples of the due process in that nation. Mr. Kohail and a Jordanian friend were convicted of murder after a fight broke out between the two men and some teenagers. The two insisted they were defending themselves, but the confession that was produced in court was the main evidence to prove their guilt. Dan McTeague, a Canadian MP, has been investigating the case and believes the men are innocent. He is also upset the Canadian government has made no effort to conduct its own investigation even though one of its citizens may soon be without his head.
Yes, Saudi Arabia is among the defenders of "democracy" against Muslim extremists. The problem is when it comes to justice, no terrorist in the world can match the terrorism of the Saudi Arabian government. Beyond, off with the head and give them a 100 lashes, what exactly is the major legal concept the Saudis offer the world?

Fox Follows GOP Orders To Be "Outraged" About EPA's Overseas Grants
You'd think Fox News would have learned its lesson [1] about trying to pass GOP press releases off as news content. But today, Fox built a segment around a press release [2] from Sen. Inhofe (R-OK) declaring EPA grants to foreign nations the "Outrage Of The Year." And, no surprise, Fox committed the same distortions as Inhofe.
Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade introduced the segment by saying that the government is "now loaning foreign countries millions to promote climate change. Since February 2009, the EPA gave out 65 grants to foreign nations totaling $27 million. Outrageous, right?" Fox and Inhofe were particularly "outraged" about an EPA grant of what they claimed was "$718,000 to China for climate agenda."
But this grant [3], which doesn't actually have anything to do with climate change, was initiated in 2004 under the Bush Administration (the "project start" is "the date [4] when work began on this grant.") In fact, as Rep. Henry Waxman revealed [5], "$21 million of the $27 million" represents grants started under Bush.
Indeed, EPA's overseas grants are nothing new, contrary to Kilmeade's claim. According to Fred Upton's (R-MI) report [6] on the grants, which is the source of Inhofe's "outrage," $100 million in award money has been approved over the past decade.
During the segment, the following on-screen graphic aired:
The image falsely claims the figure came from the GAO office, rather than Upton. Waxman stated [5] that this number suffers from "a basic accounting error" because it "wrongly assumes that a project receiving one payment out of a multi-year grant in 2009 or 2010 received the entire lump sum in that year."
And while Fox repeated the GOP talking point [2] that the grants are part of a "climate change agenda," the funds actually address a variety of environmental problems. For instance, the grant to China that Fox fixated on, is to "assist China to meet the requirements of both the Stockholm and Long Range Transport of Air Pollutants Conventions" through reducing "POPs," and "persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic chemicals that are of concern to China and the US."
An assessment report [7] prepared for the UN found that POPs, or persistent organic pollutants, are predisposed to "long range transport" making this a "global problem" and that a number of POPs "have been implicated in a broad range of adverse human health and environmental effects including impaired reproduction and endocrine dysfunction, immunosuppression and cancer. In many cases, the substances are considered as possible human carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer."
According to Fox, $27 million is too much to spend on grants addressing global public health problems. To get a sense of Fox's priorities, it's worth recalling that when Obama proposed ending a tax break for corporate jet owners, which would save $3 billion [8] over a decade, Fox & Friends declared [9]: "It's not going to make much of a difference at all."

State panel to decide fate of Medicaid expansion in Ohio
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) - A little known, but powerful state panel will vote this afternoon on whether or not to accept federal funding to expand the Medicaid program in Ohio. Gov. John Kasich's proposal has raised opposition from many of his fellow Republicans, but his decision to take the issue before the State Controlling Board is leading to even more opposition.
"Controlling Board's expansion of Medicaid would be unlawful, if not unconstitutional," said Maurice Thompson with the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law.
That's because Ohio law dictates that the seven-member panel made up of a chairman appointed by the governor and six lawmakers not go against the "clear intent of the General Assembly."
Lawmakers stripped the proposed expansion from the Kasich budget and replaced it with a prohibition on expanding Medicaid. Kasich removed that with his line-item veto power, but Thompson says it shows that the General Assembly's intent was to not expand the program. He is threatening a lawsuit to be filed in the Ohio Supreme Court if the Controlling Board votes in favor of expansion.
"It's well within the authority of the administration to make the request and it's well within the authority of the Controlling Board to approve the request," said Greg Moody, director of the Governor's Office of Health Transformation.
Kasich has the support of the chairman and both Democrats that sit on the board, but he needs at least one Republican to back him as well. Three of the four, including Sen. Bill Coley, a Republican from Middletown, have indicated they will likely not be voting in favor.
"I would think that the governor would not offer this as a plan if he hadn't talked to some other member of the Controlling Board and felt that he had the four votes needed to get it across the finish line," he said.
Sen. Chris Widener, a Springfield Republican, is widely believed to be the swing vote. There are also suggestions that House Speaker Bill Batchelder, who isn't a supporter of expansion, could replace one of the two House Republicans on the panel that could vote in favor. Batchelder joined 39 House Republicans in signing a letter protesting Kasich's decision to use the Controlling Board to green light Medicaid expansion.
Tea Party leader Tom Zawistowski is no fan of the move either. He says the majority of Ohioans voiced their opposition when they voted for Issue 3 in 2011 which prohibits them from being forced to purchase health insurance. It was widely viewed as a referendum on the Affordable Care Act, also known as 'Obamacare.' He sees Kasich's need to go to Controlling Board as admission that Kasich can't get things done with members of his own party and has to jam them through.
"Ohioans are tired of having things jammed through," he said.
Kasich says while he's an opponent of President Obama's health care reforms, he backs this portion of it because this would use Ohio money sent to Washington, DC to help Ohioans. Medicaid expansion would add about 275,000 people to the program. Most are considered "working poor" meaning they have a job, but not health benefits. Others suffer from mental illness or drug addictions.
"The ability to get our dollars back from Washington to rehab these people and restore their lives has to be done," he said.
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says Ohio will lose out on about $26 billion over ten years if it doesn't approve Medicaid expansion. The federal government is willing to pay the full cost of expansion for three years and no less than 90 percent after that

Bootstrap is a free collection of tools used to create websites and web applications. It contains HTML- and CSS-based design templates for typography, forms, buttons, navigation and other interface components, as well as optional JavaScript extensions. Much has been written and said recently, in the world of web design and development, about Bootstrap. Some people call it a boon for web developers with little designing knowledge, while others call it a blessing for the designers. A user familiar with all that Bootstrap has to offer can extend the framework so that it no longer has the original look and feel of Twitter. This will allow you to use clever and novel ways of taking the power the standard library of Bootstrap has, and transform it into what you have envisioned.
This is a practical, step-by-step guide to extending Bootstrap. It covers all the aspects of extending Bootstrap, including themes, customization, extending its plugins, and an introduction to several third- party Bootstrap plugins.
Once you understand why you should use Bootstrap in the first place, you will learn about custom themes. This book then walks you through customization with CSS, and introduces you to LESS. You will learn to use Grunt.js to generate your own custom build of Bootstrap, customize plugins and grids, and even build custom plugins! Finally you will explore the most useful third-party plugins for Bootstrap and end with creating your first Bootswatch theme. This is a complete guide to unlocking the true power of Bootstrap.
Practical and instruction-based, this concise book will take you from understanding what Bootstrap is, to creating your own Bootstrap theme in no time!
If you are an intermediate front-end developer or designer who wants to learn the secrets of Bootstrap, this book is perfect for you.

Comments about oreilly Extending Bootstrap:
I'm sorry to say that is better to read the Bootstrap documentation, there is almost nothing on this book that you can't find there. Also is too basic for an advanced or even intermediate Bootstrap developer.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Sam from Clearwater asks:
So Microsoft's Windows 8 Developer Preview is out, huh? Is there any way I can dual boot it alongside Windows 7, or am I out of luck?
One month back, Microsoft introduced a developer preview of their upcoming version of Windows Operating system, namely Windows 8. With a refreshing Metro UI. Windows Live integration and cloud computing features, Windows 8 is definitely one of the best user interface designs Microsoft has ever built for the personal computer.
However, one of the problems with Windows 8 developer preview is that you can't install it in a separate hard drive partition. When you mount the Windows 8 developer ISO disc image and try to install Windows 8 alongside your existing operating system, Windows 8 will not show any option to choose a hard drive partition where it is going to be installed. By default, Windows 8 developer preview will be installed in your primary partition (C drive),so your existing Windows 7 installation would no longer work.
Windows 8 developer preview is still in its early Beta stages, and the operating system is not 100% stable. So instead of upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8 developer preview, it would be a good idea to install Windows 8 alongside Windows 7 and test it out . There are two ways to do this:
– install Windows 8 developer preview in a virtual environment using virtualization software e.g VirtualBox, Vmware Workstation etc.
– Dual boot Windows 8 without disturbing your existing operating system e.g Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP.
I would prefer choosing the dual boot method because running an operating system in a virtual environment consumes a lot of system resources and the response time is usually slow and sluggish.
Here is how to dual boot Windows8 and run it alongside your existing operating system:
1. I assume you have already downloaded the Windows 8 developer preview ISO image. If you haven't, head over to the Microsoft dev center website and download the 2GB ISO image of Windows 8 developer preview.
2. Click "Start" and type "diskmgmt.msc" in the search box (without quotes). Click on the disk management utility, as shown below:
3. Windows 8 requires at least 20GB of hard drive space, so what you have to do here is shrink the C volume and separate 20 GB of hard drive space using the Windows disk management utility. Right click on the C partition and choose "Shrink Volume", as shown below:
4. This will open a dialog box where Windows will ask you how much space you want to free up from the C partition. As Windows 8 requires at least 20 GB of free space, you have to enter the minimum amount of 20480 in the field labelled "Enter the amount of space to shrink in MB" (where 20480=20 X 1024 MB). If you want to allocate 25 GB of hard drive space for the Windows 8 operating system, enter 25600 (25 * 1024 = 25600 MB).
5. Now click "Shrink" and wait a couple of minutes until Windows shrinks the C volume and creates an unallocated empty partition.
6. Once Windows has finished shrinking the volume, fall back to the Windows disk management utility and you should see an unallocated volume under a Black header. This is the completely new partition where you would be installing Windows 8 developer preview.
Right click the unallocated partition under the Black header and choose "New simple volume".
7. This will open a wizard where you have to format this volume and create a new system partition. Follow the wizard and choose all the default options
-File system: NTFS
-Allocation size: Default
-Volume Label – Choose any name, e.g Windows 8
Select the checkbox "Perform a quick format" and finish the wizard.
8. Now you have to burn the Windows 8 Developer Preview ISO image into a bootable DVD disc and boot from your DVD drive to install Windows 8 Developer preview on the new volume created in step 7. If you do not want to use a DVD disc, you can burn the ISO image into a 4GB USB drive and boot from your USB drive instead.
To do this, download Microsoft's USB download tool and run the program. You should see a simple wizard which will walk you through the steps of burning the Windows 8 developer preview image on your removable USB drive.
9. You are almost done. Plug in the Windows 8 bootable USB drive into any of your computer's USB ports and restart your system. While the system is booting, enter BIOS and select removable drive as your 1st boot device.
10. Save the settings and restart your system once again.
11. Now your system should boot from your USB drive and you should see the usual install screen of Windows, similar to Windows 7.
12. Follow the installation wizard and choose "Custom" in step 3. In step 4, select the new primary partition and choose "Next". Windows 8 will be installed and when it's done, you will be asked to choose your default operating system, as shown below:
For example: I have installed Windows 8 Developer preview alongside Windows XP, Windows 7, Ubuntu and I can use all the four operating systems at my convenience. My previous installations were not affected at all. A complete system format is not mandatory and you can run your previous operating systems in parallel with Windows 8.

PHOTOS: Watershed Stewardship Center in Parma opens
(Parma)- The new Watershed stewardship center in Cleveland Metroparks' West Creek Reservation is officially opening this morning.
The center in Parma off West Ridgewood Drive between Broadview and State Roads was developed between a partnership with Cleveland Metroparks, Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District and the West Creek Conservancy.
The park improvement project cost about $11.5 million and is meant to promote healthy urban watersheds.
Naturalist Jen Brumfield says visitors can learn what they can do in their own gardens to manage storm water. One way to conserve water is with a rain barrel. You collect water falling from the sky, and save it for later use in the garden.
A more expensive way to conserve water is with a living green roof. The center has one of the largest in Ohio. You need the right structure to support it because it's very heavy, but overall it's a stunning addition says Brumfield. Water that collects on the roof will runoff and can be diverted into another garden. At the Metroparks' center, it's diverted into a wetland where there are frogs, toads and turtles.

There's an aquarium inside the building that has about 10 species of fish which are native to the area including Blue Gills and Pumpkin Seeds. There are labs and classrooms for students and biologists to do research.
Visitors can also walk through a real sewer pipe donated by the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District.
You can check out the new Watershed Stewardship Center during the free Community Discovery Days from 11am to 4pm today and 10am to 4pm Saturday. There are activities for the family like guided walks, you can plant native seeds and view a state of the art topographic map.

Your Question: What is the history of our national holiday?
The tradition of celebrating Australia Day as a national public holiday was established in Australia's first colony, Sydney, and has persevered since the early nineteenth century.
Medal - Australia's 150th Anniversary, 1938: Raising the British flag at Sydney Cove after the landing by Captain Arthur Phillip, January 26, 1788.Source: Museum Victoria
Sydney almanacs originally referred to it as First Landing Day or Foundation Day, in celebration of the arrival of Captain Arthur Phillip in Sydney on January 26, 1788. It was not until the thirtieth anniversary of European settlement, in 1818, that Governor Lachlan Macquarie officially created a public holiday in New South Wales. During this time other newly founded colonies were also celebrating their own beginnings, through sporting events, picnics and anniversary dinners.

January 26 in 1888 marked the centenary of European settlement, however attitudes towards the celebration were mixed. The date was primarily associated with New South Wales rather than all the colonies. Nevertheless, the celebrations across Australia assisted to create a greater sense of cohesion between the separate colonies as they attempted to forget Australia's 'convict stain' and focus on the future. From the 1880s this was signified with a movement towards a national holiday, perhaps made easier by the achievement of Federation in 1901. However it was not until 1935 that all Australian states and territories used the name 'Australia Day' to mark the date.

For Indigenous Australians, for whom the date represented invasion and an irrevocable impact upon their culture, land and population, there was no cause for celebration. During the sesquicentenary events in 1938, approximately 100 Aboriginal protesters gathered in Sydney to present a different view of the celebrations. For the protestors and those represented, Australia Day was instead 'a day of mourning', highlighting the loss of life, land and language that was a cause of the European occupation of Australia.

The protest demanded new laws that would ensure equality for Aboriginal people in the wider Australian community, such as citizenship rights. From this time, new voices were arising to question the celebratory status of Australia Day. This gained impetus during the 1988 Bicentenary with numerous protests staged across Australia including both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people declaring Australia Day a commemoration rather than a celebration of Australia's history.

Material objects, such as badges, coins and t-shirts, have often been disseminated to commemorate Australia Day. Many of these are in Museum Victoria's collection and can be viewed on Collections Online. These items remind us of the different meanings that Australia Day can have for Australia's diverse population. They also provide us with an understanding of the various circumstances leading up to Australia Day's consistent recognition by all States and Territories on January 26 for the first time in 1994, and as we know it today.

Mom admits to killing son according to court documents
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Colorado Springs mother accused of drowning her own son admitted to killing him, according to court documents obtained by KRDO NewsChannel 13.
Shannon Dodson faces a first degree murder charge in the death of her son, five-year-old Jude Murray-Gomez.
According to Dodson's affidavit, when detectives asked her if she knew why they wanted to speak with her, she said, "because I killed my son."
The affidavit said she started to cry and said, she shouldn't have done it, she didn't know why she did it, she thought they would go together and she couldn't believe she did it.
Firefighters found the five-year-old boy when they responded to a fire at the Hill Park Apartments on East Pikes Peak Avenue Friday. The court documents said they found the boy wrapped in a smoldering blanket between a bed and a wall. And that they found Dodson naked and wet inside a closed closet, with her eyes closed. The boy showed no visible signs of life, but he along with Dodson were taken to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead, the affidavit reads.
According to the court documents, Detectives and firefighters also found furniture and other things just inside the entrance as if they had been put there to barricade the door. They also found that the fire was in the only occupied bedroom in the apartment. Most of the damage was in the side of a mattress near where the five-year-old was found. There were also matches and a half-empty bottle of what looked like sleeping pills. Detectives also saw the bathtub filled with water to the overflow drain.
Detectives also spoke with relatives. One of Dodson's daughter said "her mom told her that she wanted to die and would kill Jude and kill herself." But after talking to her, Dodson said she wouldn't do it, the affidavit reads. One of the boy's aunts told detectives the he told her "he didn't like to shower or take baths at his mom's house because she liked to dunk his head under water."

With Arsenal failing to finish in the top half of the Division One table, and failing to progress beyond the FA Cup Quarter-Finals, the history of the Club between 1921 and 1925 appears to be one of honest plodding, and little more.
Yet beneath the surface, a hard-fought battle of wills was raging between the despotic Henry Norris, and his put upon manager Leslie Knighton. Knighton, appointed Gunners boss in 1919, and whose profile within the game was increasing thanks to his excellent ability to spot and nurture local talent at Manchester City, is arguably the most unfortunate manager in Arsenal history.
Tasked with turning the Gunners into a genuine First Division force in the aftermath of World War One, he was ordered to keep transfer fees down to the bare minimum, at a time when Norris was still paying for the construction of Highbury out of his own pocket. Talent spotter extraordinaire though he may have been, it was always going to be a struggle for the affable Knighton to transform Arsenal into anything else than top flight also-rans. Inevitably, he will always be judged against the achievements of his successor, Herbert Chapman, but it's worth remembering that Knighton sowed several seeds at Highbury.
It was a battle of wills which helped Chapman enormously. Norris had long rated Knighton highly, given the fact that Man City (where Knighton was assistant) were regarded as one of the most attractive teams in the country, and reliant on Manchester-born lads. After Norris set out his long-term vision for the Club, Knighton was easily persuaded to move south, and met the challenge of snapping up affordable talent with gusto.
In the early 1920s, he raided South Wales to lure Bob John and Jimmy Brain to the Club, and Chapman later personally thanked Knighton on several occasions for signing players who would go onto win medals under him.
Final league positions of 9th, 17th, 11th, 19th and 20th (Arsenal narrowly avoided relegation on two occasions) between 1921 and 1925 tell a meandering tale of under achievement at a time when the expanding Highbury's crowds regularly topped 50,000. Knighton's frustration grew, and the relationship between him and Henry Norris was one of the most corrosive in the Club's history. Much of the story would have remained untold, were it not for the fact that in 1949, Knighton took the almost unprecedented step – in those far off days – of writing a warts and all autobiography, entitled Behind The Scenes In Big Football.
His recollections of his time at Arsenal are laced with black humour, weariness and laid bare the idiosyncrasies of Norris. The autobiography suggests that Norris and Knighton enjoyed a General Melchett/ Captain Blackadder type relationship, in which the walrus moustached chairman conjured up all sorts of imaginative ways for his manager to endanger himself for the Club's cause. It's impossible to corroborate many of Knighton's claims about Norris, but the beleaguered Arsenal manager had a reputation for being scrupulously honest in his dealings within the game, so they are highly likely to be true.
In the early 1920s, Knighton tells how he was dispatched to civil war-torn Belfast, where he checked on the potential of young starlet Alec Mackie, who plied his trade in a run down part of the city. Knighton recalls tip toeing through segregated parts of town, and even tripped over a corpse on his way to watch Mackie, whom eventually he signed. Knighton also had an army of spies in Wales, and during one of his missions to South Wales, he was able to snap up Caerphilly's Bob John, whilst wearing a ridiculous false moustache and glasses. The reason for the disguise? Welsh fans, objecting to seeing their best players depart, physically threatened English scouts and managers who dared to try to lure players east.
Knighton also confirms that Sir Henry constantly bullied him in board meetings, for which very few minutes survive. As his petrified manager and directors wisely kept quiet during a Norris verbal tirade, the Arsenal owner would suddenly turn on him and bawl: "Well man. We pay you a great deal of money to advise us, and all you do is sit there as if you were dumb. Can't you talk?" With Knighton shaking with rage and fear, Norris would quickly rebuild bridges, and inform his manager that he'd stop at nothing to further Arsenal's cause.
As Arsenal struggled to avoid relegation during the 1924/25 season, Norris, convinced that Arsenal lacked sufficient backbone to compete for trophies, further turned the screw on his manager by informing him: "We must sign no more small players. We must have only big men."
As a result, the Club missed out on the mercurial Harry 'Midget' Moffatt, who at just 5ft 4in was dubbed unwelcome by the Club owner. Knighton, warned by Norris that the FA Cup of 1925 represented his final chance of glory, was approached by a Harley Street specialist armed with a box of 'courage pills', and Knighton decided to see what the effects would have on his players.
During the ensuing third round FA Cup clash with West Ham at Upton Park, his players tore around "like Olympic sprinters," developed a raging thirst into the bargain, and made their hearts beat at over 160 beats per minute. Doubters have suggested that the story may actually be apocryphal, but it does highlight the pressure Knighton was under regardless. After two replays, Arsenal lost to the Hammers, and on the face of it, that defeat, coupled with Knighton's complaints about being unable to sign Moffatt, cost him his job during the 1925 close season.
In 'Behind The Scenes In Big Football', Knighton alleged that he was fired because Norris didn't want to pay him a promised £4,000 bonus for his length of service at Arsenal, due in the following September. Knighton informed the Daily Mail that "Norris's eccentricities have cost the Club dear," (it's worth noting that he received £100 in Norris's will – nowhere near the money he was promised but evidence that Norris valued Knighton's contribution) before departing for calmer waters at Bournemouth.
By then, he would have seen Norris's advertisement for a new manager in the press, which read: "Those who pay exorbitant fees in players' transfers need not apply." The irony is that in order to achieve success at Arsenal, Norris was forced to dramatically U-turn on that statement. Highbury's slumbering giant was finally about to stir
History Brief
1. Alec Mackie demanded a pet monkey as a novel alternative to a signing on fee when he joined the Gunners
2. As well as all the other revelations, Knighton claimed in his autobiography that Norris's deals in football were "a mere bagatelle compared to his other business activities."
3. In September 1922, Reg Boreham grabbed a double for Arsenal in a fiery victory over Spurs. A Telegraph reporter claimed the ensuing brawls were "the most disgusting I have witnessed."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
