1536 Pin Replicators

Substrate to 1536 Assays Simultaneously
With the
advent of the 1536 well microplates by Greiner Labortechnik, Corning
and now Nalge
Nunc, V&P Scientific has launched
the first stainless steel 1536 Pin Replicators to transfer nl volumes
of liquids to and from these plates. The VP 838
Replicator has 0.457 mm diameter stainless steel pins with flat
tips that deliver ~20 nl in a liquid to liquid transfer. (For liquid to
membrane or dry plate, smaller volumes will be transferred from the
hanging drop on the pin tip, see complete explanation on the
We have
also developed a new spring loaded Registration Frame
and Replicator Housing System (VP 836A) that allows the user to
register 1536 Pin Replicators (VP 838) to a
LIBRARY COPIER™ for the Nalge Nunc and Greiner 1536
microplates (VP 881), another
for the Corning 1536 microplate (VP 881A), and another
LIBRARY COPIER™ to register the Replicators to glass plates
nylon membranes (VP 832) for blotting or spotting. This precise
registration system ensures that the Replicator pins are centered
in each of the wells and onto precise locations on membranes or
glass plates.

blot was made using the VP 838 Replicator
transferring ~20 nl of specimen to a nylon membrane.
Floating 1536 Pin Replicators
stainless steel pins in the VP 838FP Series Replicators come in
diameters of 0.229 mm (FP9), 0.457mm (FP1) and 0.787mm (FP3) and will
deliver ~4 nl, ~20 nl and ~80 nl respectively in liquid to liquid
transfers. These small pin diameters eliminates "well
wall clearance" problems encountered with larger diameter pins with
brands of 1536 well microplates where the center to center spacing of
the wells has shrunk in the molding process.
50.8mm long pin is fixtured inside
a 1.58mm diameter tube that is 31.75mm long, thus strengthening the pin
and adding mass to enhance the floating characteristics. Each
pin slides
("floats") through holes in the lower and upper float plates as it
touches on the bottom of the microplate well or the gridding
surface. This
floating action assures that each of the pins will touch and deliver
its droplet
even if the microplate is warped or the blotting/gridding surface is
not level or smooth.
The VP
838FP series Replicators are designed to be used manually or with a
robotic work station.
Just fax us a drawing of the mating feature on your robot and we will
incorporate that design into the mating plate.
The 25.4 mm alignment distance between the lower and upper float plates
insures that pin to pin spacing remains true at 2.25 mm. The evenness
of this spacing is demonstrated in the blot to the right.
High Throughput Library Copiers™ for 1536
Floating Pin
VP 381F LIBRARY COPIER™ was designed for High
Throughput with the 96, 384
and 1536 pin
series Floating Pin
Replicators as these floating
pin replicators have shorter pins they need a shorter LIBRARY
COPIER™. The open design of the VP 381F
allows the operator ease of access to place and remove microplates.
VP 381F LIBRARY COPIER™ was also designed to accommodate 2 ul
Corning 1536 microplates. These plates are easily
accommodated by larger opening of the VP 381F. The VP 381F
also can be used with all of the 1536
FP1, FP3 and FP9
series MULTI-BLOT™ Replicators
as a high throughput LIBRARY COPIER™.

Selection of System
You need to
choose whether you will be using the fixed pin system (VP 838) or
the floating pin system with or without a robotic work station (VP
838FP Series Replicator). If you select the
VP 838 you will need to determine which 1536 microplate you will be
using (Nalge Nunc, Greiner or Corning) so you can select one or more of
appropriate LIBRARY COPIERS to register the Replicator to the
microplate (VP 881 -
for Nalge Nunc and Greiner microplates or VP 881A -
Corning microplates). If you want to make blots on
membranes or glass
then include the VP 882 and you have a complete system. To
use the VP
838FP Series Replicators manually you will need to purchase a LIBRARY
COPIER™ to register the
replicator to microplate of your choice, VP 381N for Nalge Nunc and
Greiner and
VP 381F for Corning microplates. The VP 838FP Series
Replicators can be used with a VP 382
to make blots on membranes.

Cleaning Pins
most important aspect of using pin tools is to start with clean pins
and then keep them
clean so they will consistently deliver the same volume. We
recommend our Pin
Cleaning Solution (VP
110) to clean the pin of protein
and other residue buildup before you start an assay. To
quickly and efficiently remove the previous transfer from the pin we
have a wide variety of manual and robot wash reservoirs ranging from
disposable polypropylene reservoirs
to reusable
reservoirs, flowing reservoirs
and fountains to
clean 96, 384 and 1536 pin tools.
The robot wash stations are also adapted so the
station is part of the
washing station thus reducing the cleaning cycle time and the number of
stations required for the cleaning process. We also have
other independent
blotting stations (VP 540D) and
to the cleaning process of all pins is the blotting
step between baths. Lint particles in the slots or on pin
tips, from standard paper towels, will interfere with the loading and
unloading of
liquid. We have solved this problem. The
540DB blotting system is a tray
with the standard microplate foot print that contains a super absorbent
polypropylene pad covered by a
Lint Free Blotting Paper. We strongly recommend that
you use this or our other
free blotting systems.

Ijaw Youth Congress, IYC, has apologised to the Nigerian military for the casualties it recorded in the Niger Delta region in the course of the ongoing Operation Crocodile Smile. IYC, yesterday, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, while briefing newsmen on the happenings in the oil-rich region and the state of Nigeria's economy, noted that it was appropriate for the body to apologise to the military, adding that the military was in the operation to rid the area of crime.
Speaking after the National Executive Council meeting of the body, its National President, Mr. Elvis Donkemezuo, commended the military and the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, for introducing the ongoing operation in the area, adding that piracy and criminality were high in the region. He stated that the operation was to rid the region of criminal elements, adding that criminality in the creeks and waterways in recent times was on the increase.
Donkemezuo said: "We want to commend the military for operation Crocodile Smile. We understand that Niger Delta is faced with series of piracy attacks. A fortnight ego, soldiers were attacked in some creeks in Nembe. No government will fold it arms and allow its military to be attacked by any criminal group. It is not in the style of Ijaw people. We are a unique people. "We sympathise and express our sincere apologies to the military on the casualties they suffered in the Niger Delta in a bid to secure the Nigerian state, the region and the oil facilities." The youth leader, while urging the military to ensure they adhere to the rules of engagement in their operations, also charged residents of Niger Delta to give the military the needed support to succeed in the operation.

After more reading I could possibly have screwed myself over by not allowing 2 hours per pound of meat. So thinking this could have taken 10 hours and I would have had plenty of time to rest the meat has now turned into MASSIVE PANIC STATIONS!!! We could be eating at 9pm which would have been ok except Leanne is coming down for dinner.
Raised my temperature to 230 F which is still in the sweet zone but will hopefully shorten the cooking time without impacting the meat.
HI LEANNE, I hope you don't mind maybe eating late.
Also, still no beer. :(

Afternoon sun is now hitting the smoker in full and has bumped the temperature up to 243 F. Very happy with the temperature right now as I believe I have underestimated my cooking time and the temperature is still in the sweet zone of 225 - 250 F. The meat temperature has slowed to a crawl and is now at 160 F.
I believe that I am moments away from the stall and also freaking the fuck out.
Lucky my friend beer is helping me through this stressful period.
Starting Potato bake at 2.30pm. Should I put it in the smoker to slowly cook and then throw it in the oven for an hour at 400 F while the pork is resting ?
Let me consult beer, she will have the answer.
|Feb. 13, 2013 3:27 p.m.
Potato bake in the oven. Rushing out to visit girls teacher. bbs!! :)
|Feb. 13, 2013 4:11 p.m.
Temperature down to 230 F. Going to raise it to 240 F keeping it in the sweet zone but hopefully reducing the time a little to finish!!
|Feb. 13, 2013 4:46 p.m.
Still 169 F, Finally have reached the stall, lets hope it does not take 3 - 4 hours to pass it.
On a brighter note this 6th beer is tasting awesome.
As usual I have filled the potato bake too full and cheese and cream has become one with the lid. This is not a bad thing as everyone loves my potato bake :P
|Very Good
|Feb. 13, 2013 5:15 p.m.
temperature 255 F and the meat has pushed past 169 stall.( or it has yet to stall, which is even more scary)
I did not mean for the smoker to get that high and will be turning it back down to 235 - 240 F
I do not think 10 minutes at that temperature will do anything to the meat quality.
|Feb. 13, 2013 5:35 p.m.
Potato bake has finished 2 hours covered at 375 F and is now now on the counter ready to be reheated without the lid for an hour to make the cheese on top nice and brown and heat it through.
Fighting the temperature every step of the way as the sun goes down. 1mm to the left and too hot / 1mm to the right to cool. Currently at 259 F with vent open full. I will leave it here as the temperature will settle as the sun goes down.
I think I am going great guns and just have my timing a little off. definitely eating late tonight but I am sure it will be worth every hunger pain.

So close, not really concerned with the temp being 257 F as I still need to rest for 45 m - 1 hr
|Feb. 13, 2013 8:23 p.m.
187 F Pretty sure I have broken through the stall. 8 F to go then an hours rest while the potato bake heats up and the cheese on top browns.
Exhausted and more than a little boozed. 3-4 hours late for dinner but I am sure it will be worth it. Just hit 189 while typing. not long now WOOHOO!

Note to self: 2 hours 15 minutes per pound. Actually make it 2 hours 30 minutes per pound.
Can a pork shoulder stall again at 190 F or am I just completely insane right now ?
|Feb. 13, 2013 9:28 p.m.
I let the temp go up to 280 F for the last 15 minutes. It seems like it has stalled again or I am just being impatient. Once it clicks over to atleast 194 it is coming off.
I honestly think the thermometer is broken now. hehe. OMFG it just hit 194 THATS IT, ITS COMING OFF!!
|Very Good
|Feb. 13, 2013 9:47 p.m.
Finally, made temperature at 9.30pm. Resting for an hour wrapped in foil and towels and in my esky. Potato bake is back in the oven with the lid off to reheat and for the cheese to brown.
Pasta salad and coleslaw ready to go.
Family pissed off because dinner has taken so long.
Lesson: Do mostly the same except start smoker at 12am. I would rather the meat rest longer and dinner be earlier than working so long and dinner being ready at 10.30pm.
5am - 9.30pm.

Actually, that suggests a qetouisn. Are spirits able to see what colour of spectral energy a normal human will have and only possess those who will be the same colour as them, or is it entirely determined by the colour of the spirit that possesses them?Also, even though I think this is something that I'll have to wait to learn, I wonder how the colour of a Spectral's energy is determined when their conversion is due to be exposed to a lot of spirits/ghosts/tools (presuming that each one will have its own specific colour)?

Required: Vegan in Volume: pages 28-29, page 43, Appendix
Recommended: Review some of your favorite recipes in both books, looking at the different construction of consumer (Simply Vegan) and quantity (Vegan in Volume) recipes
***********Working on those projects??***********
By the end of this lecture, the student should be able to:
1. Differentiate between consumer and quantity recipes
2. Suggest vegetarian ingredient substitutions for animal product ingredients
Small and Large
Recipes are the guide books of the kitchen. Without them food usually can't be produced and it certainly can't be reproduced. I once worked in a small hospital kitchen with a cook names Delores. Delores was mean, secretive and had been there forever. She protected her job by keeping all the recipes for the menus in her head. She never wrote down anything—not even the food orders! The two weeks that Delores took for vacation every year were a disaster. No one could make anything the way Delores could. Delores, was, of course, delighted with this situation.
If you haven't worked with a Delores, then we're sure you have a favorite relative or friend who prepares a favorite food. He or she won't write down the recipe and you just can't figure out how to make the dish as well. Unfortunately, if they move away, you'll never have that dish, prepared that way, again.
So, insist on recipes! Follow people around the kitchen with a measuring cup or scale and weigh everything as they cook. Do what it takes, it will pay off in the end.
Consumer recipes differ from quantity recipes. Consumer recipes usually are meant for 2-6 servings, where quantity recipes could begin at 20 and end with 1000! Consumer recipes usually have the following information: title of recipe, number of portions or yield, ingredients and procedures. More detailed consumer recipes may include a list of equipment and serving suggestions.
Quantity recipes usually include: title of recipes, portions and yields (sometimes they have columns for two or three different yields, such as portions for 20 and 50), ingredients (described very specifically), procedures, equipment settings, serving suggestions, safety and sanitation suggestions and garnishing suggestions. Quantity recipes are meant to be reproduced. Most customers will return to a food service establishment because they like the way the food looks and tastes. This can only happen if recipes are well written and followed.
By the way, if you need to change the number of portions or the yield for a recipe, we've included that information in Vegan in Volume (pg 28-29). This is invaluable info, and we've supplied it to many a caterer. Now you have the industry secret. You can also use it to expand consumer recipes, for example, if you have a recipe that serves four and you want to serve 15 at your next holiday dinner.
This for That
If you have non-vegetarian recipes that you'd like to make vegetarian, we suggest that you review page 43, which has a list of soy substitutions. You'll also want to make a note to read the article on Vegan Baking on page 233-234. In Lecture 15, we've included a list of vegan options for traditional holiday foods. You'll find this useful as well.
Many vegan ingredients can be "swapped" easily. For example, cooked beans can be added in place of poultry pieces in soups. Sliced fake meats can be substituted in equal amounts as meat. Sliced soy cheese can be exchanged for sliced dairy cheese and soy yogurt and soy cream cheese function the same as their dairy counterparts.
Soy milk can be used in place of dairy milk. Except, soy milk does not like high or intense heat as much as dairy milk does. If you add soy milk to hot liquids, it will appear to curdle. You simply have to stir vigorously to remedy this situation. Just don't get discouraged and discard your soup or dessert- just stir hard! Rice milk can be slightly sweet, so you can exchange it for dairy milk in desserts and other sweet preparations. Use soy milk, when possible, for savory or spicy dishes.
Soy or fake meats that are meant to resemble sausage, ground beef or bacon do not necessarily function like their animal counterparts. You'll have to experiment with different brands to obtain the product you want. For example, a soy "ground round" may not hold together well enough to make a burger or loaf. You may have to play with binders, such as mashed potatoes, mashed beans or pureed tofu, or you may elect to find another product.
Tofu can sometimes be exchanged equally for animal products and sometimes it can't. This depends on the recipe. For example, you can use the same amount of silken tofu for the mayonnaise in a salad dressing. But if you are trading tofu for eggs in a baking recipe, then you'll have to do a little experimenting. Okara, which is a byproduct of tofu production (see Vegan in Volume for more info), can be used in place of cottage cheese for sweet recipes, but will not work all that well for savory recipes. Okara has a short shelf life and may be difficult to locate. The up side is that it has a great texture and is a great vegan ingredient.
Baking recipes are always sensitive, as baking relies on the interaction of the ingredients with each other. If you are attempting to make a dairy recipe vegan, be sure to change only one ingredient at a time. That's the only sure way to know what worked and what didn't. Here are some vegan ingredients that you might try to exchange in baking recipes:
Remember, these ingredients are not just easily exchanged. You will have to work with them to obtain good baking results.
There will be times, of course, when you will have to make a decision about not converting a recipe at all, but rather, to make a suggestion for an alternative food. For example, a walnut pate can be substituted fairly acceptably for a meat pate, especially served with the appropriate condiments. However, trying to create a vegan eggs benedict might present a bit of a challenge. The English muffin is fine. You could probably grill tofu to replace the poached egg, use a breakfast-flavored fake meat to replace the Canadian bacon and you could create a sort-of Hollandaise sauce with margarine and egg replacer, but I really wouldn't want to try it. I think I would offer a tofu florentine, which could be a piece of grilled tofu on a bed of freshly steamed spinach with a creamy lemon-tofu sauce. You'll have to make the call if a recipe will maintain its integrity if a lot of the ingredients are replaced.
Seitan and tempeh can be used in place of grilled meats in some recipes. You can create fajitas or fillings for burritos or enchiladas with seitan or tempeh. You may even be able to find them in different flavors, so you can offer different types of fillings. Mushrooms can also be used in place of meat pieces, especially portobello mushrooms. Portobellos have a particularly "meaty" texture and can be marinated and grilled or roasted, just like meat.
We haven't addressed ingredients that function in both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian worlds, such as fresh or dried herbs and spices, fresh, frozen, canned or dried fruit and vegetables, fruit and vegetable juice, fresh, canned, frozen or dried beans, egg-less pasta, rice, grains, etc. You won't need to modify recipes for these ingredients. Of course, you always want to read the label to be sure you are using vegetarian ingredients. For example, be sure that fruit juices are not sweetened with sugar or that artificial colors are vegetarian (you have info on this in both books).
The major rule of the recipe game is this:
1a. Always start with small batches and work your way up to the final large batch and
1b. Always try a recipe THREE times before you rely on it for a special event. Thanksgiving morning is not the time to try out a new pumpkin custard pie recipe.
1a is self-explanatory. You don't want to waste the food trying a recipe for
twenty. It's also easier to make corrections with small amounts of ingredients.
On the other hand, you might think that if you purchase a reliable recipe book, that the recipes have been tested. This could be true. Or it might not (there are no cookbook police). In addition, you might be using different equipment than that used to test the recipes, you might be using measuring cups rather than a scale (liquid versus solid measure makes a big difference) or you just might not care for the results. NEVER use a recipe for an important event before you've tested it!!!
This has been a short introduction to the use of recipes and how to make them vegetarian. You have a great number of wonderful vegetarian recipes in your two books. If you would like to see how the "pros" modify recipes to make them vegetarian, pick up a copy of Vegetarian Times magazine. There is a column called "Recipe Redux" where omnivorous recipes are changed to vegetarian recipes (not always vegan); the recipes are usually lower in fat as well.
Now you understand recipes - on to the menu!

Posted on 05/12/2012 3:44:38 AM PDT by LibWhacker
Odd orbits of remote objects hint at unseen world, new calculations suggest.
An as yet undiscovered planet might be orbiting at the dark fringes of the solar system, according to new research.
Too far out to be easily spotted by telescopes, the potential unseen planet appears to be making its presence felt by disturbing the orbits of so-called Kuiper belt objects, said Rodney Gomes, an astronomer at the National Observatory of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro.
Kuiper belt objects are small icy bodiesincluding some dwarf planetsthat lie beyond the orbit of Neptune.
Once considered the ninth planet in our system, the dwarf planet Pluto, for example, is one of the largest Kuiper belt objects, at about 1,400 miles (2,300 kilometers) wide. Dozens of the other objects are hundreds of miles across, and more are being discovered every year.
What's intriguing, Gomes said, is that, according to his new calculations, about a half dozen Kuiper belt objectsincluding the remote body known as Sednaare in strange orbits compared to where they should be, based on existing solar system models. (Related: "Pluto Neighbor Gets Downsized.")
The objects' unexpected orbits have a few possible explanations, said Gomes, who presented his findings Tuesday at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Timberline Lodge, Oregon.
"But I think the easiest one is a planetary-mass solar companion"a planet that orbits very far out from the sun but that's massive enough to be having gravitational effects on Kuiper belt objects.
Mystery Planet a Captured Rogue?
For the new work, Gomes analyzed the orbits of 92 Kuiper belt objects, then compared his results to computer models of how the bodies should be distributed, with and without an additional planet.
If there's no distant world, Gomes concludes, the models don't produce the highly elongated orbits we see for six of the objects.
How big exactly the planetary body might be isn't clear, but there are a lot of possibilities, Gomes added.
Based on his calculations, Gomes thinks a Neptune-size world, about four times bigger than Earth, orbiting 140 billion miles (225 billion kilometers) away from the sunabout 1,500 times farther than Earthwould do the trick.
But so would a Mars-size objectroughly half Earth's sizein a highly elongated orbit that would occasionally bring the body sweeping to within 5 billion miles (8 billion kilometers) of the sun.
Gomes speculates that the mystery object could be a rogue planet that was kicked out of its own star system and later captured by the sun's gravity. (See "'Nomad' Planets More Common Than Thought, May Orbit Black Holes.")
Or the putative planet could have formed closer to our sun, only to be cast outward by gravitational encounters with other planets.
However, actually finding such a world would be a challenge.
To begin with, the planet might be pretty dim. Also, Gomes's simulations don't give astronomers any clue as to where to point their telescopes"it can be anywhere," he said.
No Smoking Gun
Other astronomers are intrigued but say they'll want a lot more proof before they're willing to agree that the solar systemagainhas nine planets. (Also see "Record Nine-Planet Star System Discovered?")
"Obviously, finding another planet in the solar system is a big deal," said Rory Barnes, an astronomer at the University of Washington. But, he added, "I don't think he really has any evidence that suggests it is out there."
Instead, he added, Gomes "has laid out a way to determine how such a planet could sculpt parts of our solar system. So while, yes, the evidence doesn't exist yet, I thought the bigger point was that he showed us that there are ways to find that evidence."
Douglas Hamilton, an astronomer from the University of Maryland, agrees that the new findings are far from definitive.
"What he showed in his probability arguments is that it's slightly more likely. He doesn't have a smoking gun yet."
And Hal Levison, an astronomer at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, says he isn't sure what to make of Gomes's finding.
"It seems surprising to me that a [solar] companion as small as Neptune could have the effect he sees," Levison said.
But "I know Rodney, and I'm sure he did the calculations right."
I've got a very old atlas that shows 13 planets with their stats and orbits.
Didn't we just get rid of a planet?
We know so little.
The Obama administration and the BLS will just fudge the numbers to get the number of planets down to the historical average, and then blame Republicans for "gravitational anomalies that hurt the middle class"
> Didnt we just get rid of a planet?
Yeah, they got rid of Pluto and then replaced it with a new planet, Tyche, four times bigger than Jupiter.
Now we get this one. Have they named it yet?
Interesting timing to publish such a thing. Five billion miles wouldn't put it anywhere near Earth, but it would disrupt the Kuiper Belt pretty thoroughly.
Ouranus. In the interest of inclusivity.
I'm still grieving the loss of Pluto.
He was a good planet. Just getting himself turned around. Never bothered anybody. If thr orbit fits you must admit. Free Pluto!
You know, a lot of this recent crap about Pluto seems to me more geared towards claiming older schoolbook science text is outdated so they can rewrite it and replace it with liberal crap.

How was your weekend? I hope it was a lovely one. We had a decidedly autumnal couple of days, with misty mornings and cool evenings punctuating the bursts of heat and sunshine in between. We had an amazing evening on Friday at the Luna Cinema, watching a movie under the stars whilst swaddled in blankets and sipping wine; as Friday nights go, it was hard to beat. Picnics too take on a whole new dimension when you're unable to see what you're rummaging for in the basket; we did eat the strangest combination of things.
Our main activity this weekend though was harvesting and foraging, gathering pears and blackberries from the garden to see us through the next couple of seasons. We began with pears… very small, wrinkly and peculiarly shaped ones, but they taste delicious nonetheless..
Harry was in charge of quality control, checking for holes, bite-marks and signs that we'd been beaten to the chase by other inhabitants of the garden. He takes after his dad and is able to do this calmly and methodically, and not run screaming to the house in hysterics every time he finds a worm (guilty as charged…).
The quirky summer weather has produced masses of early blackberries, which unlike the pears are super-sized and super-juicy. I flash-froze tray after tray before packaging them up like marbles, and now have a freezer-full of strangely shaped bags of bobbly purple fruit.
Last year we experimented with blackberry jam-making, but this weekend we wanted a more immediate treat, so I tried this recipe from James Martin for pear and blackberry crumble… and can officially declare it to be delicious. I tweaked the quantities a little (my version below); if you're working in US measurements, all you need to remember for the filling is a rough ratio of 3:1 for the pear vs the blackberries – though of course the beauty of crumbles is that you can customise it is much as you like…
Finally, we gathered up all of the pears we had left over and arranged them amongst tissue paper in a couple of spare shoeboxes; I pasted a picture of our morning's efforts to the inside lid and we'll take them to local friends. Harry has certified each to be worm-free, and his word is good
And now we're back into the hurly-burly of the working week; thankfully without the frantic checking of school kit and the shock of early mornings and routine which rushed at us last week; we're in our groove again now. At least, today we were..
Thank you incidentally for the lovely comments about our puppet theatre, and the stories and memories shared – it's so lovely when a conversation unfolds!
Have a great rest of the week.

The waitress staff is very unfriendly unless you know them. The waitress staff is very slow and they did not greet people that come in that they don't know. If you want to eat outside on the patio make sure you tell the waitress first because they rarely come out there to serve you. I'm a local and this isn't third visit there and it is SO cliquish. Not a great way to grow your business.

I live here and they always treat me great when I visit there. I know the folks working there. They work very hard working and are very friendly to everyone that I see. I would recommend them in daytime when you want a place to eat with your family all the way up to 7:00. At night the atmosphere changes and it's more adult oriented with music. To me, it is my local hang out. But, I would say if your in Surfside try the Barbecue Sandwich. I do not think you will be disappointed or hungry after that.

We love this bar. Excellent 'bar food' (several burgers & two kinds of fries, chicken sandwiches, fried fried bologna sandwiches) - we especially enjoy the $10 steak and fried pork chop night specials on Tues/Wed. respectfully. Owner Zack is one of a kind nice; waitresses Marie, Amy, Stacy and Cas are all great. Long tables are meet-people friendly. Hands down best place around to watch football.

We went in for an early lunch. We decided to eat ours there and take 2 more orders out. When our food was brought to us, it was thrown on the table without a word. I had a cheeseburger that was nothing special with romaine lettuce with the core still on it. Our two takeout orders were not complete, but being takeout, we didn't look at them before we left. Bartender/cashier was extremely rude. Hate I missed all the friendly folks that these other reviewer said they met. There is way to many options at the beach to ever return.

Service was great - wings & salad were above average (wings were the best I ever had)
I visited Neal & Pams because it was jam night (open stage for musicians) and I am a drummer from Cleveland Ohio. I signed up to play and waited all night to play. Numerous other drummers (including the host/house drummer) played and I was not allowed to play.
Unless you are a home-boy (local), don't bother going to this jam...

We got the name from a cleaner at our rental, day one of our oct golf vacation. 10 min walk but well worth it. Not busy the night we went but the food and service was great. Here is the real kicker; one of the guys in our group reached for his wallet shortly after arriving and discovered it missing. Thought he left it at the rental. Next morning, after much searching and panic, I walked to neil and pams. There it was, money (lots) still intact. Turned in we think by our waitress stacie. Thank you stacie!.

Silversmith Brigitte Clavette has been Head of the Jewellery and Metal Arts Studio and taught at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design in Fredericton since 1985. She has also taught at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, the Nunavut Arctic College, the Haliburton School of Arts and the Community College of New Brunswick in Dieppe. Her hollow ware and silver works have been shown internationally and are held in private and public collections across the country and internationally, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England, and the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. Clavette became a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 2000, won the Excellence Award for Craft from the Province of NB in 2002, and the prestigious Strathbutler Award in 2006.
Brigitte created the teapot (above) "Le Coq", for an exhibition called
"Celebration". The exhibition was in honour of Brigitte's longtime
friend and mentor, Lois Betteridge, who was celebrating her 80th
birthday. Subsequently, the teapot was accepted as part of a juried
exhibition "Unity and Diversity" at the Cheongju International Craft
Biennale (2009) in South Korea. The exhibition was curated by Dr.
Sandra Alfoldy for the Canadian Craft Federation. Out of 200 pieces in
the "Unity and Diversity" exhibition, 50 were selected for a special
exhibition at the Museum of Vancouver, "The Art of Craft", presented
with the 2010 Cultural Olympiad in Vancouver. And finally the teapot has
been purchased for the permanent collection of the very prestigious
Royal Ontario Museum.

With general elections a year away, we are of course entering into the high season of stage management in the pejorative sense of the word, meaning the presentation of things in a manner to put up a front, for example, the Volney confession and the weed rolling.
This week however, I am writing about two manifestations of stage management in its show business context. I was stimulated in part by the National Carnival Commission (NCC) publishing its report on its Carnival 2014 expenditure. I will return to this report later.
Still affected by the current widespread depression about the state of the country, I did not take a bush bath. I went instead to the Laventille Steelband Festival Foundation (LSFF), Eight of Hearts concert.
I went in an apprehensive mood because I knew this to be one of the finest steel orchestra concerts in the land, but the venue had changed. At the previous open-air venue, it was the practice of the promoters to erect two separate stages, so that as one band played the other would set up. This arrangement was very effective in reducing the lulls in the programme to a minimum.
Having moved the concert to NAPA, I was concerned about lulls in having one band leave the stage and another one set up, particularly because I had heard that the NAPA stages were no longer mobile.
Unlike staged managed political assurances, Michael Cooper's statement in the lobby that I would have a pleasant surprised turned out to be a gilt edged assurance. We kept a careful written note of the times of the various performances. There was no delay of more than seven to nine minutes, between one band ending its repertoire of four selections and another band beginning.
In addition there was no intermission. Patrons were invited to leave their seats between performances, if they wished, and we could gain re-admission at any time music was not actually being played. The end result of LSFF stage management was that eight of the top bands in the land each performed for 25 minutes with no significant delays.
For many of their selections, the bands continued to demonstrate their orchestral qualities of our musical indigenous by accompanying for one of their selections, a singer, a saxophonist, a trumpeter or a keyboard artiste. Space only permits two examples, chosen because they are long standing crowd favourites—Eddy Cumberbatch singing "Nessum Dorma" with Skiffle and X doing Schubert's "Ave Maria" with Silver Stars.
Given the frequent and slavish adherence to "all protocols observed", it seemed like a monumental step that someone would be brave enough to abolish intermission or change anything at all about the way of doing business. I suggested to LSFF that perhaps we should give them the country to run.
It is that very paralysis and adherence to form to protect special interests that is reflected in the NCC's published Carnival expenditure of a few units short of $172 million. None of what I am about to write is intended as a criticism of those who ran the NCC in 2014. On the contrary, where it had some measure of control, the NCC in 2014 had success in reducing expenditure, for example, by bringing down the cost of Dimanche Gras by $1 million and decreasing overall expenditure by almost $66 million.
The expense figure that leaps off the page is $63.8 million doled out to the special interest groups namely, Pan Trinbago, TUCO and NCBA. This was an increase of $13 million over the 2013 figure.
The expenditure report should generate a serious discussion about the NCC continuing to do business through the medium of special interest groups, particularly because there is no netting off of some of the fabulous sums that are made by promoters within those groups.
Yes I know that every Carnival bandleader is broken to "tief" and is making a sacrifice for the culture, but that is simply not so at $4,000 and more for a costume.
It needs to be emphasised again that grafting special interest groups unto the operations of the NCC is the result of a Cabinet decision that conflicts with the Act of Parliament that established the NCC.
Ordinary financial prudence and respect for the use of taxpayers' money requires a discussion about the current way the NCC does business. Moreover, the parade of bands on Carnival Tuesday, as everybody knows can be torture, one from which spectators have fled in droves. It does not represent value for money.
I have advocated accountability for the money spent on the performing arts, the making of distinctions between seed money and subventions made on track record and a mandatory requirement for timely annual management accounts that faithfully reflect the earnings as well as the expenditure of persons in receipt of taxpayer funding. I have just seen 172 million reasons why it cannot be business as usual.

Those 10 levels took me about 4 weeks. It's been slow going, but I'm almost to Outland!
Not much happened to me in the last 10 levels. I didn't have any profession leveling to do and my lock didn't change too much in 4.0.1. I did rescue someone though! I had a Flawless Draenethyst Sphere I'd saved from when I'd killed Teremus the Devourer in Blasted Lands ages ago. I know turning them in is worth a lot of experience, so I was on my way to do just that! The orbs turn in to a NPC in the Blasted Lands, so I was cruising through the Deadwind Pass when I saw a mage in trouble. She was level 41 and at the time I was level 48. She'd turned down the wrong fork in the road and had pulled one of the level 56 Sky Shadows (vulture). She was at half health when I spotted her and was dropping fast, so I sent poor Gelyal (my imp) after the bird while I started frantically trying to fear it. One of Gelyal's fireballs hit, and he pulled agro just as the mage blinked away and ice blocked. She was at less than 10% health so I threw a Heavy Runecloth Bandage on her and told her to run! We both managed to escape the Sky Shadow's high level talons, but poor Gelyal was not so lucky. The little mage thanked me and I patted her on the head, and continued on my way to the Blasted Lands without any more excitement.
On my way through Theramore one day, a different mage challenged me to a duel. I was level 41 and he was a level 39 Gnome, so I accepted because any day that I get to kill a Gnome, is a good day, hehe! He started off by sheeping me and then starting to cast a spell. I used "Every Man For Himself" (the human racial) to break the sheep, and as soon as the stun wore off I Death Coiled him, added a Immolate and then hit him with Confliglate and he was crispy Gnome toast! I felt a bit bad for beating him so thoroughly, so I did bandage him up and pat him on the head (I seem to use that emote a lot, lol), but he cried and scurried off. Can I just say, I am loving Destruction!
The final thing I will mention from my last 10 levels is the Pirate Genocide I took part in over in Tanaris. For some reason Tanaris was packed with people leveling while I was questing through there (something I haven't seen since pre-BC on my server) so four of us grouped up to kill the pirates on the east coast. There was myself, two mages and a shadow priest, and it was so much fun! Those pirates didn't stand a chance, and it was nice to only have to fight for kills against 8 other players instead of 12!
I really didn't mind the last 10 levels as I like questing in Dustwallow Marsh, Tanaris and the Searing Gorge for the most part! I have just been too busy to give my Lock the attention she deserves! I'm still aiming to hit 80 before Cataclysm, even though I've just taken on a new (very big) secret project IRL. More about that coming soon, hehe!
Now off I go to Un'goro!
Thanks for Reading,


text: I have heard that on a table saw, the falling teeth of the blade should do most of the cutting. How do you know if this is happening? I just purchased a 3612, and am pretty sure I have everything set up right. I do notice that when the stock passes the rising teeth, the tone of the cut changes significantly (becomes louder). Does this mean something is wrong?

Cultural Hijack
Live was & is still running throughout this show, as a theme and a challenge.
The exhibition Cultural Hijack ran at the Architects Associations Galleries in Bedford Square, London, between 25th April and 25th May 2013. The live programme associated with the show continues to grow. The latest highlight is the work Jerkin the Gherkin ( see below). Also live right now is Supply and Demand which mocks the auctioning of Banksy's Slave Labour by mass producing identical copies of the artwork and freely distributing them outside the Poundland where Slave Labour was originally made and subsequently removed. Upcoming works include Peter Kennard's G8 protest posters http://g8protestposters.tumblr.com which we invite you to download and distribute throughout the UK and especially in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, epi-centre of the next G8 meeting in June 2013.
The artists contributing to the Live-programme so far are:
Tushar Joag, Paolo Cirio, Leah Borromeo, BGL, EPOS 257, International Peripatetic Sculptors Society, Upper Space, Peter McCaughey, Ben Parry, Peter Kennard, Space Hijackers, Laura Keeble, Tatzu Nishi, Allan Kaprow, Nina Edge, Voina,
Cultural Hijack was co-curated by artists Ben Parry and Peter McCaughey.
events below are in chronological order

(25.05.2013) CONTRAvention
Cultural Hijack: Rethinking Intervention, took place at RIBA (the Royal Institute of British Architects)
What might the tools, tactics and poetics of the interventionist artist offer the insurgent imagination of activism and social movements?
Do small acts of resistance and creative disruption, build muscle that encourages an appetite for real alternatives to neoliberal capitalism or do they end point and sate such an appetite?
And what of 'commissioned resistance', is it implicitly flawed, sponsored by the system it seeks to critique, or can it, despite its origins, have impact? These questions, and yours, will be picked over in the CONTRAvention.
Speakers included: Gregory Sholette, Voina (Yana Sarna), John Jordan, Krzysztof Wodiczko, Space Hijackers, Ztohoven, David Pinder, Ben Parry, Peter McCaughey, Nina Edge, Barbara Steveni, Graham Jeffery, Gavin Grindon, Alana Jelinek, Tobias Klein

A participatory action Lament for Sparrows took place on the 24th of May 2013 in Poona, India,
The sparrow a delicate bird affected by the electro-magnetic waves of the cell phones, is hardly seen in cities any more. The population of sparrows has been greatly reduced world over because of the extensive usage of cell phones.
People had the chirping of the sparrows downloaded on their cellphones. People stood, sat on benches, lawns, etc. scattered all over Saras Baug, a public garden in Poona. At a specified time (6.30 pm), the sound of the chirping was switched on by all. The chirping played for 5 minutes after which the people left their places and gathered at the band stand with the sound still playing. The symphony of the sparrows continued for 5 minutes. People switched of their cell phones and dispersed.
Research has proven that with the hightened usage of cell phones the sparrows have migrated away from cities: http://www.sciencebeing.com/2013/01/effect-of-cell-phone-radiation-on-sparrows-gauriya/

The Space Hijackers held their May Day party in the courtyard of Google's multi-million HQ, just off Tottenham Court Road, an event demanding a shutdown of the internet after business hours.
Party goers celebrated with dancing and drumming as in days gone by, but with a maypole tangled with cables instead of the traditional May Day ribbons.
These May Day celebrations also marked the establishment of the Emergent Service Workers Party.

Graham Jeffery, Pamela Barnes, Thomas Mrnz, Eleanor Yule, Ben Parry, and Fiona Milne.
As one of a series of interventions during a 3 hour journey around inner London, a division of the IPSS occupied the empty pedestal of the bronze cast of the 'Burghers of Calais'.
The workers wear one life belt between two – they are obviously in dire straits. Rodin's original artwork, placed on a low pedestal to bring art down to the people, is brought further down to earth, as the heroes here are the ordinary precarious workers, rather than the rich men of the town of Calais.

re: What is Stealth Diffusion?
You want the pheromones off your skin and into people's noses where they can do their work!
Pheromones themselves are not very diffusive molecules. They are heavy. They need assistance from other highly diffusive molecules bind with and to help carry them.
1. " Stealth Diffusion Technology" is the name for our exclusive low odorant-high diffusive technologies we developed to optimize pheromone diffusion (lift). We incorporate our current Stealth Diffusion technology into all our fragranced products.
2. We made several experimental MX packs a few years ago also called " Stealth Diffusion ". I believe they are in the MX420's - MX440's, but don't quote me on that! I wasn't here at the time! (You can look into those here: http://www.pheromonetalk.com/search....3&pp=25&page=2)
With the Stealth Diffusion MX experiments, we stripped out any other fragrance. No Neroli , no FF21 , Ammo , Akuto, or otherwise. Those experiments were simply pheromones plus Stealth Diffusion components.
An odor detection threshold is the point where you can detect a smell. Stealth Diffusion components are (hopefully) unnoticeable at an average person's odor detection threshold. They smell like something, but not a lot of something. Under the radar, so to speak.
We have considered re-releasing some of our better standalone Stealth Diffusion Technology experiments in the coming months. We are constantly asked whether we will bring back these experiments, and we have been considering doing so for quite a while for the new experimenters who have not experienced them yet.
We receive many emails from people who would like a fragrance-free option... Especially those in healthcare or office environments with posted "No Perfume" policies, or individuals with chemical sensitivities.
We would like to formulate to meet those requirements, while still formulating for efficacy. The product must work!
Pheromones need help lifting from the skin. They don't do so well on their own. This is why, while you're able to have our lab custom blend a fragrance-free option for you, we must charge a little more and offer no refunds. You really have to know what you're doing to make a fragrance-free product diffuse properly and work right!
As for upcoming Stealth Diffusion Technology releases.... Stay tuned for updates!

Basic but good Dec 21, 2009
This little hotel is very basic but also very good if you are staying in Bologne for no longer than a few days.
Its a short walk up to the old part of the town.
The rooms themselves are VERY basic but you get your own shower and a small towel. However the toilet is shared.
I have stayed here twice and for the price the owner charges and what i was looking for i thought it was worth the price.
However if you are going to stay there, i would take a proper towel as the small hand towels do not cover much.

Taylor Swift nominated for seven awards in the 2016 Grammys
The 'Blank Space' singer is the only female contender for Record of the Year
Taylor Swift wasn't a big contender at the 57th Grammy Awards earlier this year, so it was only natural that she caught up with everyone else by scooping seven nominations for next year's awards.
Her feat beats 2015 giants Beyoncé and Sam Smith (six nods each), but is still a far cry from Kendrick Lamar's 11 nominations for 2016. On that note, Beyoncé and Sam Smith are completely missing from this year's list. Another interesting statistic: Taylor is the only female contender for the coveted Record of the Year award.
The 58th Grammy Awards will take place on 15 February at Staples Center in Los Angeles. It's just too bad Adele's new album didn't make the cut-off time for the awards, but fingers crossed she'll perform at the show anyway. Those nominated in 2017 should watch out though, we suspect Adele will knock everyone's socks off by sweeping many, many awards.

Your First Year of Marriage
Marriage advice is always interesting. This gem (still not weeded!) is from 1967. It assumes that the two newlyweds have barely had any sexual experience, not even "heavy petting." ('Cuz nice girls and boys just don't.) A great deal of the book is dedicated to the mechanics of sex. There was also some pretty decent family planning information, considering it was published in 1967. There are some small chapters dedicated to "special circumstances" (pregnancy, different religions or races) and managing money. Take a look at the two pages I scanned on dealing with the in-laws.
All in all, not that bad of a choice for the 1960s. I am at a loss for why it is still in a public library collection, though.
The sample material seems pretty reasonable, actually. But, the rest of the book could be quite dated….This reminds me, when I got married a few years after this book came out, we had one meeting with the minister beforehand to go over the order of service, etc. At the end, though, he handed us a book with a blank brown paper dust jacket. Its title was "Sex Without Fear." I was so embarrassed I don't think I could say a word. I wonder if I still have that book kicking around, and how it might compare to this volume…

Why did a timeless God create time? - John Van Sloten

|In this message we look at the concept of time. Why did you create time God?
There is a time for everything,and a season for every activity under the heavens Ecclesiastes 3:1
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

If god created time it means there was moment when only god existed an then there was moment when both time and god existed. Two discernible moments means time exists.

Creating time is nonsensical since doing so requires a sequence: "There was no time, then there was time." You need time to create time. Time is a part of God's nature, and He has existed from eternity past. The concept of God being outside of time came from pagan philosophy, not the Bible.

Pls meditate on the Eternal Nature of God & U you will get the ans In Brief-God Created time so that man may know how weak & timid he Is, no matter how much one boasts in itself.You are only Dust.This is just a fraction that I am putting here.We can never understand God with our small & limited wisdom.It's only through Prayers & his grace, the copious God grants his knowledge to the sincere hearts.A word of advice with respect & Prayer.Pls do not Preach with human wisdom.Use God's wisdom ONLY

cause and effect doesnt apply to God because he has never not existed

May 21, 2012
What I don't understand is that you start off by saying God is everything,
then you say God is nothing. This same argument can be used to explain the big
bang lol And it sounds very contradictory. In nothing, how can there be
positive and negative because that would obviously mean there are two things
and the action of them cancelling each other out is cause and effect. And if
cause and effect exists, on the basis for your argument, then one can ask the
question what caused God. Good attempt tho

April 24, 2012
Simply. God is unchanging and exists eternally in the "now". Not in a dimension of "time". But "to create" is "to change". And change requires time. So for God to create, the first thing he created was time and creatures to create within that dimension of time. And so we do....changing (creating) every second of the day. God's "will" is not "thought". "Will" just is, so no time is required.
As to T1 and T2, God is all things.....positive and negative....which cancels each other out. Zero. So God is "everything"; but in fact, God is "nothing". In "nothing", all possibilities exist; as opposed to "everything" that can be eventually defined. So the Bible is correct that all things were created from nothing. Thus, no time in Zero.

If God is timeless, that means that there could be 0 time delay between his will to create the universe and the universe actually existing because time wouldn't exist. However, if God is timeless that means he always must have had the will to create the universe, if he didn't, that means there are two points of time being indicated:
T1: God didn't have the will to create the universe
T2 God did have the will.
The idea of God having the "will" to create the universe implies time between the will and the creation, if there was no time between the will and the creation, and the will always existed then the universe would be eternal.
If the universe requires an external cause, it was most likely a spontaneous non-sentient timeless external cause (assuming time began at The Big Bang) because this cuts out the "will" which in turn, cuts out the problem of time implications in a timeless domain.

I like the question. Assume, for the moment, that time is not an illusion. One of the constants of time is change. Catholic theology teaches that the next world is perfect. That, by definition, means immutable (a.k.a. unchanging). Hence, if you go to Heaven or hell, that's where you stay. It also helps explain why ghosts seem to repeat their actions over and over. They are stuck. They cannot change. Time allowed a paradox. By dying, Jesus, a.k.a. God, changed.

Backlighting is a popular method of adding some depth and interest to bathrooms, bars, and other dimly lit areas, particularly in homes and businesses that entertain. And while there are many different glass and resin products that can be lit, some types of translucent stone can also be backlit as well.
Onyx is a fragile, translucent marble with a great deal of natural variation. Light passes easily through onyx, making it an ideal material for backlighting, particularly in areas where the look being sought after is less contemporary and more elegance. When not lit, the onyx still provides beautiful depth and color to the room. When it is lit, the onyx glows and transmits a soft light from within.
There are a few ways that onyx can be lit. Because the stone is translucent, rather than transparent, the lighting apparatus can be placed behind the stone, on the edges of the stone, or can be inserted into the stone through strategically drilled tunnels and holes. The individual lights aren't as likely to be seen as with a glass or resin product, which gives a greater flexibility in terms of light placement.
If the stone is being lit from below, such as in a counter, the lighting should be hidden or encased by a surround. This can be made of wood or of separate pieces of onyx to create a shallow box for the lighting to reside. Onyx tiles can also be laid directly over LED tape embedded in white thinset if the installation doesn't have the depth to build it out.
Because of the extreme color variation in the onyx, the effect of backlighting can be dramatically different from piece to piece, making any installation immediately stand out. Using backlit onyx in this way is an interesting way to add soft ambient to any room. The next time that a backlit installation is called for, consider using onyx in place of glass or resin to add additional interest and color to the design.

Detailed and yet distorted, her paintings depict foggy but seemingly familiar scenes that require squinting eyes and conjure a feeling akin to driving somewhere remote in the pouring rain. Her style fluctuates between washy layers of oil and solid photographic realism. Subjects and objects are caught exploding, describing the very instant an action occurs- the horrifying moment before perception intervenes and untangles what just happened. Morris's paintings recount these inexplicable, fleeting moments of confusion and lay them out in raw and compelling fashion.

Konfabulator Version? A Poll
I have received a request to make a Konfabulator (i.e., Yahoo! Widgets) version of Radar In Motion. Since I use Dashboard, I have no real use for such a thing. However, if there is enough interest, I will consider making a version that works with Yahoo! Widgets. There is a poll on the right-hand side to get your opinions on the issue. If you could take a second and place a vote, that would be very helpful!
UPDATE: Work has begun on a Konfabulator version of the widget. Konfabulator is missing some of the javascript commands that Dashboard has, so it will take a bit of time to convert the scripts for retrieving maps. However, I'm so far finding the preference system of Konfabulator a little easier to deal with than the one in Dashboard. I suppose there are always tradeoffs! Since I have decided to go ahead and try the Konfabulator version, I am going to remove the poll. Thank you to everyone for your input!

Book Reviews -- by the Sweat of the Brow: Literature and Labor in Antebellum America by Nicholas K. Bromell
Article excerpt
By the Sweat of the Brow: Literature and Labor in Antebellum America. Nicholas K. Bromell. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1993.
Nicholas K. Bromell undertakes a subtle and important task in this book, but one that must be worked on for a long time to reach fruition, and worked on outside the written word. His premise is that early in America, literary people who were also interested in democracy, the activities of those working people who were "building" America and their own relationship to a developing nation, nevertheless felt that there was a superiority about mental activity--and writing--that would inevitably develop more. To a certain extent this was because of the religious background of the literary people who had been taught that spirituality and mentality were superior to physical labor.
What Bromell does not say is that literary people also used the superiority of the way of life to continue to drive a wedge between themselves and the physical workers. It was fine to idealize the village blacksmith, but everyone knew that he was thick-headed and unable to think. …

RUFC - Scott 'we are all frustrated'
Rotherham United fans that travelled to Oxford today made their feelings known at the final whistle after they had just watched another inept display from their team.
Going one down just before half-time, which came from a Mark Bradley mistake when the Millers were on top and then a second goal seven minutes into the second half, was enough for some of the three hundred travelling fans to start calling for the manager`s head.
Speaking after the two-one defeat, Millers manager, Andy Scott said, 'We are all disappointed and all frustrated.
'We are all in it together and obviously, the fans want to be in the play-offs the same as we do. We aren`t moving in different directions, we all want the same thing and they obviously saw that we didn`t play to our maximum today.
'I`m committed to what we are doing and the players are committed to what we are doing and they are frustrated with each other and how things have gone.
'We will keep working hard which is all anyone can do.`
As a Rotherham fan, is that good enough? Were you one of the ones who called for Scott's head? What are your thoughts on the Manager?
