LiveMATCHDAY LIVE - Bath City 0-1 Basingstoke Town
This live event has finished
- FULL-TIME - Bath City 0-1 Basingstoke Town
- Basingstoke up to 10th in the Conference South following a vital win in Somerset.
- Nathan Smart gives Town a deserved win with a wonder-goal on 83 minutes.
Right, that's me done for today. The result means Town are up to 10th in the Conference South table, but they remain nine points outside the play-off places, with games in hand.
Live coverage of the Basingstoke Bison's crucial match against the Manchester Phoenix will begin shortly.
Elsewhere, Southampton have lost 3-1 at West Ham, while Reading are 1-0 down at home to Blackburn deep into added time.
A fully-deserved win for Town, who were the better side all-round and secured three points with a great goal.
Reaction to follow.
Bath City 0-1 Basingstoke Town
Williams lets fly from distance and it's not too far over.
Wes Daly - Basingstoke Town (90+3 min)
Bit of a nervy moment there. Wells could only punch a cross away and when the ball was put back in, it dropped for Reid, but he could only fire over.
Town will have to survive five minutes of injury-time.
A bit of a scramble in the Town area but the visitors get bodies in the way and get it away.
4:45pm Sat 22 Feb 14
Matt1991 says
Thats a crucial goal for Stoke at a crucial time in our season with games coming at us thick and fast maybe the playoffs isnt all that far away
A great chance on the break but Kezie Ibe delays the pass and Soares is caught offside.
Bath City 0-1 Basingstoke Town - Smart (83 min)
Town deserve that but it's a wonderful strike from NATHAN SMART. Bath sat off him and he let fly from 25 yards, his shot smacking the underside of the crossbar before bouncing over the line.
Good play by Soares down the right. He cuts in and his shot from a narrow angle forces Mellor to save with his feet again.
Bath City - Josh Low on for Ross Stearn (81 min)
Bath City - Jake Reid on for Andy Watkins (80 min)
Matthews is just unable to get on the end of a great cross from Smart.
Stearn cuts in from the right following a good interchange with Pratt, but his low shot is straight at Wells.
Aaron Brown - Bath City (74 min)
Brown goes into the book for a foul on Williams.
Nathan Smart - Basingstoke Town (73 min)
Smart is booked after an angry reaction to a foul on him, pushing Chris Allen in the chest. It came seconds after David Ray had done well to block from Watkins.
Basingstoke Town - Robbie Matthews on for Shaun McAuley (70 min)
McAuley is unable to continue and Bristow opts to replace him with striker Matthews. May be a rib problem for McAuley.
McAuley is down following a collision with Pratt. Looks in a bit of pain. He may have landed awkwardly on his shoulder there.
Basingstoke Town - Kezie Ibe on for Jordace Holder-Spooner (66 min)
McAuley fires in a shot from 25 yards - and that's not far wide of the top corner.
A short corner leads to Daly letting fly from the edge of the area but it's too close to Mellor.
Almost an own-goal as Brown heads Jenkinson's cross narrowly wide.
A near-post corner finds Dan Ball but he is unable to direct his header on target.
Dunn brings Stearn down on the right wing to give away a dangerous free-kick that Town just about deal with.
The hosts fall for a short-corner routine. Soares plays a neat one-two but his shot from a narrow angle is saved by the feet of Mellor once more.
A good challenge denies Dunn a clear chance after some lovely one-touch passing in the Bath area.
More good pressure. Daly is put in down the right channel but cannot get a shot away. McAuley does manage to fire in a shot from a narrow angle but Mellor saves with his feet at the near post.
More desperate defending from Bath, a couple of good blocks stopping Town players getting shots in.
Town have made a good start to the second half and that's almost a chance for Soares, but the flag is up for offside.
Town look to be in behind, but the flag is up for offside.
Good play from Holder-Spooner puts Soares in down the left and his dangerous cross is well defended by Aaron Brown.
Town get the second half under way. No changes at the break.
The teams are coming back out. There are 519 people here today.
Ben Wright has scored for Eastleigh, who lead 1-0 at Farnborough.
It's bad news elsewhere. Maya Yoshida gave Southampton the lead at West Ham but the hosts have hit back to lead 2-1 at the break. Reading are 1-0 down at home to Blackburn.
A very good first-half performance from Town, but they have nothing to show for it. Can they make the most of shooting down the slope after the break?
Bath City 0-0 Basingstoke Town
Another opening for Town right at the end of the half. Williams is denied the chance to get on the end of a cross by a fine challenge, while McAuley fired too close to Mellor with an angled effort.
Bath break and have three men on two, but Nathan Smart does well to dispossess Watkins down the left.
That's a lovely scooped pass from Williams to put Soares in the clear. He controls well but takes to long to get his shot away and is tackled. A good chance wasted.
Andrew Jenkinson - Basingstoke Town (38 min)
Jenkinson goes into the book for the latest in a series of fouls down the left. He will have to be very careful now up against the tricky Ross Stearn.
The free-kick also causes problems, just evading Pratt at the far post.
Town's pressing wins them the ball in a dangerous area and Soares finds Holder-Spooner on the right side of the area. He beats one defender but can only blast a low shot across goal and well wide.
Another good spell from Town but they are unable to break down Bath's massed ranks at the back. A couple of shots are blocked, while Bath can clear when Dunn's attempted cross goes behind.
Pratt is up to meet a free-kick from deep, but the ball's just to high for him and he cannot control his header.
David Ray and Watkins clash accidentally off the ball, with the Bath man coming off worse, though he should be okay to continue.
Pratt knocks the ball down for Andy Watkins, but his volley from 25 yards was well over.
Bath started the game very poorly but they have improved in the last couple of minutes, closing Town down better and having some decent possession of their own.
Town are enjoying plenty of possession and really need to make the breakthrough while they are on top.
Daly fires in a shot from distance but it's well wide.
Close again for Town, who have started well. A corner was not cleared and Holder-Spooner did well to turn before hitting a shot that hit Mellor in the face. His effort on the rebound was not so good, going out for a throw.
Close for the visitors as McAuley finds himself in space. His low shot from the edge of the area is spilt by Bath goalkeeper Jason Mellor, who just about manages to recover before it crosses the line or Williams forces it in.
Soares wins the first corner of the game for Town following a decent move.
Bath break quickly following a Town attack ends in McAuley seeing his shot blocked. Ross Stearn has time on the right wing but his cross is poor. Miles over the bar.
Dunn has the first shot of the match but his looping effort from just outside the area is well over.
An easy claim for Louis Wells in the Town goal though.
An early free-kick for the hosts following a foul on the right wing.
Bath get the game under way. Town must have won the toss as the teams have switched ends. The visitors are shooting up the slope in the first half, but into the sun.
The players are out - and so's the sun. A rare occurrence, on both counts.
Reading FC U21 v West Ham United U21 Monday 24th February http://t.co/Bh7g8gb2mL— @BASINGSTOKE_FC 20 February 2014
The players are just leaving the field to make their final preparations.
Right, let's have a few fixture pile-up statistics. This is only Town's second game in February. It will also be their last.
In March and April, they must play 18 games in 56 days. That's one every three days. It's going to be a marathon.
Couple of other games of interest this afternoon. Live coverage of Southampton's trip to West Ham can be found by clicking here, while Reading are at home to Blackburn in the Championship. I'll let you know how both are getting on at half-time and after the match.
It's a pretty bright day in Somerset and the pitch looks remarkably dry. Easy to see why Bath haven't had a home game called off so far this season.
Having said that, Jason Bristow has just taken Williams and Holder-Spooner aside for a chat, indicating they may be playing in tandem up front.
Could be a number of formations for Town, the most likely being 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1, which would be a new one. Might be interesting, with Louie Soares, Shaun McAuley and Holder-Spooner in behind Manny Williams. I'll let you know when the game gets under way.
Bath City: Mellor, Simpson, Brown, Ball, Gallinagh, Connolly, Stearn, Allen, Pratt, Watkins, Keats. Subs: Bowman, Low, Reid, Wilson, Rollo.
Basingstoke Town: Wells, Smart, Jenkinson, Dunn, Gasson, Ray, Daly, McAuley, Holder-Spooner, Williams, Soares. Subs: Barrett, Rice, Adams, Matthews, Ibe.
Town have made several changes to the side that drew 1-1 at Boreham Wood. In come Andrew Jenkinson, for the suspended Adam Green at left-back, Simon Dunn, for Matt Partridge in midfield, and Jordace Holder-Spooner, for Kezie Ibe in attack.
Former Town favourite David Pratt starts in attack for the hosts.
Good afternoon and welcome to Mayday Park, where Basingstoke Town are visiting Bath City in the Conference South.

The Treasure of Cruz Alta
05 Mar 13
Andrea Amato
About a century ago, just seven families lived in Tecauxinas, a tiny village on the slopes of the Montaña de Camapara. The mountain, which stands at an altitude of close on 1,900 meters at the point where Honduras borders with Guatemala and El Salvador, is covered with forests of pine, holm oak and other tall trees, as well as fruit trees and medicinal herbs. In the old days, when the village was little more than a cluster of houses, its inhabitants were seasonal workers of the indigenous Lenca ethnic group, who spent a few months there every year, then moved on to pick coffee near the border.
Now everything has changed and Tecauxinas (some people say it meant "sugarcane" in the old local language, others say it means "land of the wise") has changed its name to the more Christian Cruz Alta. The village has grown in size and is now immersed in lush forest. Here the berries of the coffee plant, bright red and violet in color, sprout and are ready to be harvested in December.
Fertile seeds
What happened? Tired of working in other people's fields, the villagers, the grandparents and great-grandparents of the Presidium producers, stole arabigo (now known as Typica) and Bourbon seeds and took them to Tecauxinas to grow in the shade of fruit and timber trees. Partly helped by the chequeque, a small bird that still feeds on the berries of old coffee varieties and spreads their seeds on the ground, the locals extended the area of cultivation.
In Cruz Alta, we met José Elías Pérez Sánchez, a proud coffee grower and member of Cocatecal (Cooperativa Cafetalera Tecauxinas Limitada), a cooperative founded in 2005, which currently boasts 33 members. In early 2011, these producers set up the Camapara Mountain Coffee Presidium, coordinated by José Elías. Based on the fruitful experience Slow Food has enjoyed at Huehuetenango, in Guatemala, since 2002, the Presidium currently produces around 10,000 kilos of coffee a year.
The need for a narrative
As we sip infused coffee from terracotta cups, José Elías tells us the story of his generation's resurgence in Cruz Alta. "The cooperative came into being when, worn out by difficulties, we realized that we couldn't manage on our own any more. We were making huge sacrifices and selling the fresh coffee beans to the coyotes, the local middlemen. We were practically giving away the coffee and they were selling it at premium prices in the city. But then we realized how valuable our coffee and our labor are."
Once the cooperative had been established, it began organizing training and assistance programs for coffee growers and collaborating with local and national agencies such as the Instituto Hondureño del Café, the Honduran Coffee Institute. Since 2007 the producers have marketed their harvest together and now, working with Slow Food, they understand that the market, already glutted with nondescript coffee, demands a specific origin, very high quality and a narrative for the product and the place it comes from. The Presidium producers are now going down this road and taking their coffee, hence their future, into their own hands. "When Slow Food came along, we were about to replace local varieties with hybrids," confides José Elías, "but now we've realized that would have been a wrong decision and now we want to go back to planting Bourbón."
All this will happen with the help of Slow Food which, in 2012, co-funded the creation of a nursery where the Presidium producers can cultivate seedlings of the traditional coffee varieties and, when they grow to the right size, plant them. In about three years, the coffee growers can expect an abundant harvest. Together with technical know-how and a proud and lucid vision of the market, it will be a fundamental asset for Cruz Alta and its inhabitants.
We have finished our coffee. The harvest is just two months away and it is time for José Elías to return to the cafetal. But before leaving, he adds, "You know, we used to keep only the worst coffee for us and our families, the poorest quality. Now we keep the best coffee for home". The sun is rising over ancient Tecauxinas.

The Slow Food Presidia are a project organized by the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity.
The Coffee Network
Since 2002, Slow Food has been helping groups of small-scale coffee producers to improve their product and find an aware market that prizes quality and is willing to pay a fair price. These efforts have led to the setting up of five coffee Presidia (Huehuetenango in Guatemala, Camapara Mountain in Honduras, Sierra Cafetalera in the Dominican Republic, Harenna Forest in Ethiopia and ancient Robusta coffee varieties in the Luweero district of Uganda) and the formation of a group of over 20 communities inside the Terra Madre network.

Manchester United's Under 18s escaped a dose of derby-day blues on Saturday, thanks to Joshua Harrop's goal from the penalty spot with less than two minutes of the normal 90 remaining.
The hosts Manchester City enjoyed more of the possession and territorial domination, but Paul McGuinness's side crucially kept going to snatch victory away from the neighbours in the nick of time.
It was a beautifully mild and pleasant morning at City's Platt Lane training complex, which is situated barely five minutes' walk from where the Blues used to be based at Maine Road. The favourable weather had prompted a decent number of supporters to attend the fixture which, not surprisingly, always serves up an interesting, entertaining and keenly-fought contest.
There was nothing to choose between the sides in the opening stages as they both took a few minutes to size up the opposition. The first chance of the morning fell to United's Sean Goss, but his shot spun away well wide of its intended destination. Then, less than sixty seconds later, City moved into the lead with a goal from striker Daniel Lema after United's defence had failed to deal with a cross from the left.
The Reds almost made an immediate reply when Ashley Fletcher burst into the City area, but his shot, from a good position, flew over the crossbar. Blues' keeper Billy O'Brien made a fine save to deny Andreas Pereira and then Fletcher had the ball in the net only to find that the assistant referee's flag, for offside, was already fluttering.
United were given a let-off ten minutes before the break when the other referee's

Thursday's decision by the California State Supreme Court keeps alive the hope by "Yes on 8" proponents that the voter-passed ballot proposition preventing gay marriage in 2008 may survive.
But proponents should not count on ultimate victory, at least based on this decision.
Prop 8 Ruling Highlights Messy Initiative Process
The only issue in today's announcement is that proponents for Proposition 8 may be allowed to defend the outcome of the 2008 ballot proposition in the case currently before the U.S. Court of Appeals.
That's because after the 2010 state elections, neither former Attorney General-turned-Governor Jerry Brown nor the current Attorney General Kamala Harris, were willing to defend the proposition.
In normal circumstances, a case can't move forward unless there are opposing sides, which is why the "Yes on 8" advocates sued to assure representation of their side in place of Brown and Harris.
Had the State Supreme Court ruled otherwise, the U.S. Court of Appeals might have had a basis for ruling in favor of the "No on 8" side.
Now, the case continues in the U.S. Court of Appeals, with outcome anybody's guess.
We do know this: Californians are very divided over the gay marriage issue. A PPIC poll taken last year found 46 percent in favor of gay marriage, with 47 percent opposed. It doesn't get any closer than that.
No doubt, the "No an 8" side is disappointed by today's outcome. Nevertheless, had the State Supreme Court ruled otherwise, any U.S. Court of Appeals decision based on the testimony of one side no doubt would have added to the skepticism of many Californians about the state's institutions.
Regardless, the issue is far from over. It's a given that whatever the Court of Appeals decides will be appealed by the losing party to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Without presuming outcome, it may well be that in the end, the U.S. Supreme Court rules favorably for the "Yes on 8" not because of the jurists' commitment to the traditional definition of marriage, but because of the Court's comfort with "states' rights" on social issues.

COLLEGE STATION – All facets of grass-fed beef production will be featured at a conference hosted by the Texas AgriLife Extension Service May 30-31 at Texas A&M University in College Station.
Last year's inaugural conference in College Station was attended by more than 60 beef producers, said Dr. Rick Machen, AgriLife Extension beef cattle specialist in Uvalde and conference coordinator.
"Judging by the comments from last year's participants, it was a huge success," Machen said. "We're excited about the lineup of speakers we will have for this information-sharing opportunity. As soil moisture improves and forages begin to recover, now is the time to re-evaluate forage and beef production systems."
Machen said the conference will cover a broad range of important topics pertaining to grass-fed beef production and is open to both beef producers and consumers.
The following topics will be discussed: overview of the beef industry; defining natural, grass-fed and organic beef; growing forage – the fundamentals; cattle types suited for grass-fed beef; forage-based nutrition for cattle; preventative herd health; handling cattle for wholesome beef; carcass fabrication; consumers and their expectations; marketing a unique product; and economics and sustainability.
"In addition to traditionally produced beef, products from natural, grass-fed and organic production systems are important contributors to the beef market. We welcome both the beef producer and interested consumers to attend this conference and learn more about this segment of the industry," Machen said. "There will be several topics of interest to both audiences."
As a highlight, this conference will feature carcass demonstrations, allowing producers to learn about fabrication methods and retail cuts, Machen said.
Cost is $250 through May 15 and $300 after. The conference will be held at both the Rosenthal Meat Science Building and the Louis Pearce Pavilion on the Texas A&M campus.

"I personalized this sticker for my Alice in Wonderland themed Bridal Shower and put the stickers on mini mason jars filled with candy. The labels were really cute and fit perfectly. Well made, great color. Happy customer!"
"They turned out perfect in black with gold writing & dots. Exactly what I was hoping for. We changed the font to make it the sticker on our welcome bags. Slightly smaller than I was hoping, but that is my own fault for not measuring it out first."
"Loved these. They are much larger than we thought! But still very nice! It's sad to think they will be ripped when guest open the envelopes!"

User Reviews
Date Reviewed: July 14, 2014
Strengths: Super durable, great handling through turns, pretty lightweight, and just a BLAST to ride! Great for wide range of riders.Comfortable as well. Front lockout makes easy pavement commuting. Great high speed maneuverability. Easy to adjust brakes. Shimano equipment is high quality and durable. GREAT, Absolutely GREAT learner bike.
Weaknesses: Dart 3 front shock isn't the best front unit but it honestly does the trick pretty darn well. Brakes do not like mud at all, expect to find yourself cleaning them if you thrash any mud and/or muddy puddles. Besides that, nothing to complain about.
Bottom Line:
I gave it a five in every category because it has been literally no cost to me except self-performed maintenance till I destroyed the rear wheel on a jump (but that is my fault not the bikes.) I rated for what it is which is an XC hardtail with decent price of $450 back then. It gets a 5 star/peeper rating because it has done more for me than I have ever expected.
It is a very easy bike to service the brakes and chain. If you want to do mountain biking/XC and also want to be able to commute or exercise on your local paved bike path, it is an awesome bike. If you are getting into mountain biking and don't want to blow thousands on a rear shock you may not want, definitely consider the Rockhopper. It has given me many adventures for seven whole years. Even as a hardtail, its back wheel hops around in a delightfully fun way. I have ridden this all throughout Fort Ord and keep up with my buddy on a Trek Fuel EX full suspended bike. Overall, great stability, versatility, and fun. If you want a multi-use hardtail, BUY it. You will love it through every turn.

Bike Setup: Absolutely stock for all seven years
Date Reviewed: May 11, 2014
Strengths: Frame: geometry is great for climbing, decending and long distance xc rides. Never felt like I had too little bike or travel.
Brakes: bb5 get a bad rap from most, but never had anything brake, even after some bad crashes. just need a bit more maintenance as the pad wears down.
Crank, cassette, chain, and shifters: over 1500 miles on them and still good. shifts are still clean, no ghost shifting. levers have also taken a beating and are still crisp.
Weaknesses: Shock: dart 3 leaves something to be desired on anything but asphalt and hard pack.
Seat: long distances leave a bit to be desired. was swapped for a wtb.
Tires: fast tracks were sketchy in loose terrain, rubbish in wet, or muddy terrain.
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: October 14, 2013
Strengths: This review is for the 2011 disc 26er, 17.5". With nearly perfect geometry, the Rockhopper holds a line like a cat on a rug. "Captain" stock tires are fantastic for most XC conditions (loose, dry, rocky, damp). SRAM's 3x8 works perfectly and is very durable. The stock fork is very stiff and has nice action for a 150 lb rider. The Avid BB5 mechanical discs have a wonderful feel and are fairly powerful. Specialized did not skimp on the R&D for this model. This bike costs less than the wheelset on my EPIC S-works. The 2011 Rockhopper is an insanely good bike for the money!
Weaknesses: Avid BB5 calipers take patience to set up. Lack of rebound damping adjuster could be an issue for some riders.

Strengths: Great Frame, Durable Finish, Standard Components Fit great, no special crap required
Weaknesses: Wheels are junk, fork too.
Bottom Line:
Wheels are Alex, and are known to be junk. Replaced within 150 miles. I replaced the headset and front fork quickly too. The headset was not a fan of a really rainy ride I went on, and the Dart 2 fork is known junk, but might has suited someone a little less massive then myself.
The frame has been bulletproof, zero issues. I did have to face the bottom bracket shell, as it was 1-3mm out of true, and caused bottom bracket issues. Everything else has worked great.

Weaknesses: wish they made a lever for the front shock to lock up when needed!. My only complaint is that this bike didn't come with peanut butter. LOL. I love this bike yo!! Thumbs up guys...
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: March 9, 2012
Strengths: handling, good looks, climbing ability, decent front shock.
Weaknesses: hubs, brake noise and stiction issues, plastic derauiler cage
Bottom Line:
Hovewer, there are problems: rear hub pawls wore out after 1500km. Chain and casette were close to being done at the same time. The wheel went out of true a few times. Front hub (Specialized Hi Lo) needs constant upkeep.
Saddle needed to be replaced as the original felt like permanent colonoscopy. Pedals were replaced with SPD - slippage on the stock pedals was bad.Original tires wore out at 1500km - not a big loss, they were plain dangerous on wet roots.
Rear derauler has parts of the cage made of plastic - this cacked and in time caused the unit to malfunction due to alignment issues.
I upgraded the rear wheel to DMR revolver 6 pawl (same like the reviewer below) and found out this to be a complete crap - lasted about 800 km before pawls got chewed. Not covered under warranty....
But the worst part was a crack in the frame which I discovered during regular maintenance - on the non drive side at the crimping where the chainstay goes around the tire there was a crack. I am not sure if this was caused by stiffening the rear wheel, or by my leg torque trying to twist the frame.
As this was a second handed bike Specialized told me to get lost - I was not after a free frame, but it would be nice of them to consider selling me a frame under their crash protection program.
Good bike if you are not a clyde. Otherwise stay away. If you are a clyde and think about upgrading this bike for durability - it is not worth it. Start with something sturdier to begin with.

Bike Setup: SRAM rear cassette, $18 padded seat, otherwise stock. SPD clipless pedals
Date Reviewed: November 14, 2011
Strengths: SRAM shifters offer smooth quick shifts. Tunable front fork allows the rider to optimize the fork damping for his physical build to gain the most front wheel to ground contact when flying down hills. Tires perform phenomenally in sandy uphill climbs. 26" alloy wheels stay true even when hammered. Frame is light and durable. Excellent for riding on the street as a commuter bike, too.
Weaknesses: The 4 click SRAM shifters take a little getting used to. The lever throw on the 4th click is a bit too far for my thumb. I've remedied this by planing my thumb closer to the fulcrum when I down-shift the rear wheel.
For some reason, it took a few months to break in even with me putting 7-10 miles on it per day. After three months, its finally broken in nicely.

Similar Products Used: 2008 Specialized Hardrock Comp Disc. This one was stolen from me, so I bought the Rockhopper. Gearing is identical. The frame geometry is similar, except I notice that there is a bit more room to lean forward when climbing. Getting used to this ride was easy, therefore.
Bike Setup: I'm 6'1" and ride a 21" frame. Setup is stock. Avid BB5 disc brakes. Stock wheels, pedal, tires. Added heavy thorn-resistant tubes, but don't feel them in the pedals at all. Been riding it every day to work and on the trails for three months and the chain has not needed to be lubed.

"Our invitations turned out beautiful ! We used a mint green color for the back (solid) and our the font was a charcoal grey. They turned out great and the professional designer edited our etiquette and spelling!"
"I got the navy & gray invite, with a solid gray background, in the Pearl Shimmer paper. I customized text to pertain to my event, but that's it. They double checked spelling and grammar, as well as font color. I guess somewhere I had messed up and made part of the font black and part of it navy...they made it all one color for me. They were AWESOME at getting back to me really quickly via email. Got my invitations less than a week after I finalized the proofs. I initially was going to get just the default white matte paper, but when I got my sample--it felt really cheap. Maybe if it would've had thermography, foil-stamping or something different than digital font it would've been fine...but I decided to upgrade as the Pearl paper felt better. Colors are great."
"What I enjoy about this card is also what I'm not sure I like. This card is having a bit of an identity crisis, particularly with the floral pattern on the bottom. I love the strips and the geometric organization, but the amorphous appearance of the circle surrounding the monogram is incongruous with the organization of the card. I love the use of different fonts in this sample! I don't think this card is for me for the reasons mentioned, but I do like it quite a bit!"
"It was so easy to personalise this invite. We chose the colour, text and images and then it's all reviewed by a designer to ensure there are no mistakes. When they arrived we were so pleased with the result, they were perfect and exactly what we had chosen. The colour and quality of the paper and design was fantastic. Very pleased and would highly recommend."
"I ordered these invites for my December wedding and am so happy with the final product! I was able to add customization with the font color to have it better fit into my winter wedding theme. The card stock is sturdy and I love the design on the back too! Adds a little special touch."

- Rookie Munoz Fastest In Day 6
May 16, 2013 | By Dave Lewandowski
Rookie Munoz Fastest In Day 6
Drivers will get a boost for the seventh day of practice for the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race as they transition from race setup evaluation to mostly qualifying simulations.
"I'm excited for it," rookie Carlos Munoz said of the 40 horsepower addition to the Chevrolet and Honda engines for "Fast Friday" on May 17, Pole Day qualifications May 18 and Bump Day qualifications May 19.
For the second time, Munoz was atop the speed chart in the No. 26 Unistraw car for Andretti Autosport with a lap of 225.163 mph (39.9711 seconds), which topped the previous best of the month by teammate Marco Andretti (225.100 mph). Andretti, driving the No. 25 RC Cola car, was third on the day (224.882 mph) as Andretti Autosport swept the top three. Reigning IZOD IndyCar Series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay was second (225.006) in the No. 1 DHL car.
"I felt really comfortable each time I went to run behind people and run race simulations," said Munoz, the Firestone Indy Lights championship points leader who also will compete in the Firestone Freedom 100 on May 24. "We're improving the car a little bit. From the beginning to now we are really strong."
Day 6 of on-track activity also featured 33 drivers for the first time as 1996 Indianapolis 500 champion Buddy Lazier made his maiden appearance in the No. 91 Lazier Partners Racing car. He contributed three install laps to the 2,227 total logged during the humid six-hour session. Lazier will participate in a refresher course before the track opens for practice at noon (ET) May 17.
Rookie Conor Daly brought out the yellow flag for the first incident of the month when the No. 41 ABC Supply car for A.J. Foyt Racing made contact with the SAFER Barrier exiting Turn 1 midway through the session. He was checked at the infield care center and cleared to drive.
"We had just made a change on the springs in the rear," Daly said. "I was just trying to experience a little bit more with the car and there was a car in front of me. The wind, it feels like it's been gusting more, and the rear was leaning hard on the outside tire. It just kind of folded over on itself. I just lost it."
As with the 2012 race, the boost level will be upped from 130 kPa to 140 kPa for "Fast Friday" as drivers/teams focus on qualifying setups and the two days of qualifications. The boost level to the 2.2-liter, turbocharged V-6 engines will return to 130 kPa for the one-hour final practice May 24 and Race Day on May 26.
"With the car performance progressing incrementally through natural development of the chassis and aerodynamics, lap speeds are expected to increase in qualifying," INDYCAR vice president of technology Will Phillips said. "What we had last year worked really well for the full sequence of the Month of May."

SOLON SPRINGS, WI (WTAQ) - The number of acres burned in a smoky wildfire in northwest Wisconsin grew to 8,700 by mid-morning.
The DNR said the blaze was 90 percent contained, as fire crews stopped the vast majority of the flames from spreading.
They warn, however, that windy conditions could re-ignite the fire in a number of spots Wednesday afternoon.
Officials said 47 structures have been destroyed, including 17 homes in a wooded area southeast of Solon Springs in Douglas County.
No injuries have been reported to either residents or firefighters, in what's being called the largest forest fire in northern Wisconsin in 33 years.
Crews from the U.S. Forest Service joined about 15 local fire departments in battling the wildfire, along with state crews from Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Firefighters were able to save 77 structures. People from Barnes in Bayfield County were evacuated, along with lakeshore homeowners in several locations. 60 evacuees registered at Drummond High School, and 22 stayed there overnight.
The DNR said the blaze was first discovered near the town of Barnes Tuesday. The cause was not known.
Water bombers from Ontario Canada are expected to join the firefighting effort Wednesday, along with water-dropping choppers from the Wisconsin National Guard. The Red Cross sent an emergency vehicle to the region Wednesday morning

Forty-five individuals from universities throughout Northern California attended the Bay Area Student Activities Consortium (BASAC) Bi-Annual Meeting hosted by Holy Names University on December 6. BASAC meetings bring together higher education professionals who are involved in student activities.
The conference planning committee led an afternoon discussion on organizational issues and ideas for improving BASAC. Topics included a student leadership conference, modifications to the name and mission, and struggles faced by the consortium, such as the lack of a formal structure and keeping membership lists current.
"That's been a challenge too," said San Francisco State University Director of the Student Involvement and Career Center Sarah Bauer, one of the discussion facilitators. "How do we keep our membership lists current and how do we continue to reach out to institutions as staff turnover?"
The meeting also included a panel on risk management of club-sponsored events as well as breakout sessions exploring discrimination on college campuses and best practices in student leadership programs.
Heather French, dean for student development and engagement, and Lauren Avina, international student services and campus events coordinator, helped organize the event. They said that the importance of BASAC meetings is communicated in the organization's mission statement, which emphasizes providing opportunities for higher education professionals to network, share resources, and develop professionally.

THIS. Just all of THIS.
"That was a sign we were alive and in graduate school in that era," he explained.
"See, when I smoked pot it was illegal, but not immoral".
After saying elementary students should replace adult janitors in order to learn "work ethic" (with the implication that they would never learn it at home) and arguing that college students expect "free money" to pay for their education, it turns out baby Newt might have benefitted from giantbaby Newt's idiocy:
In a 1995 profile for Vanity Fair, author Gail Sheehy discovered that Gingrich financed his own education largely via the hard work of this then-wife. When things got tight, finding a job was not high on his to-do list. Sheehy wrote that Gingrich turned first to his adoptive father for help, and then to his biological one:
"Newt, who avoided Vietnam with student and marriage deferments, resisted taking a job. During his college years, Newt called up his father and stepmother to ask for financial help. His stepmother, Marcella McPherson, can still hear his exact words: 'I do not want to go to work. I want all my time for my studies. . . . Bob Gingrich told me he will not help me one bit. So I wondered, would you people help me?' Big Newt began sending him monthly checks.
"Dolores Adamson, Gingrich's district administrator from 1978 to 1983, remembers, 'Jackie put him all the way through school. All the way through the PhD. . . . He didn't work.' "
Working through school: it's alright for the poors and the minorities, but not for Newty.
I'll be sure to write "fuck newt gingrich" on my next student loan payment check. I fucking hate you, Newt.
Newt Gingrich proposed a US moon colony by 2020.
(Source: politico.com)
Which means he either did not see the movie or thought the death of Samuel L. Jackson was worth dinosaurs. Either way, I hate him.
After his terse, petulant "no" in response to a question about his request for an open marriage with his second wife (which has been addressed on TIHANG), Newt insisted he had people who would confirm that her claim was false.
Let me be quite clear. Let me be quite clear. The story is false. Every personal friend I have who knew us in that period said the story was false. We offered several of them to ABC to prove it was false. They weren't interested because they would like to attack any Republican.
Turns out he was lying, according to his own campaign staffer:
"Tonight, after persistent questioning by our staff, the Gingrich campaign concedes now Speaker Gingrich was wrong — both in his debate answer, and in our interview yesterday," King said on tonight's edition of John King USA. "Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond says the only people the Gingrich campaign offered to ABC were his two daughters from his first marriage."
So either Newt is a liar, or his only only personal friends are his daughters.
What a jerk. What a disgusting piece of shit. Not only do you cheat on your wife, you then request that your cheating be redefined as an open marriage, then you lie about it in a debate, then you have a staffer correct you after you've won South Carolina (partly due to momentum after that debate). Not to mention, all of this is happening after you made a huge fucking deal out of a former president's infidelity.
I would vote for Newt Gingrich if he were running for the Presidency of the Hypocritical States of Liemerica.
I hate the fact that he's so privileged why even his very name is an anagram of "Rich Gent Wing."
I hate the petulant way he says "no" in response to legitimate questions he does not want to answer.
I hate his tiny hands, especially his stubby fingers.
