They have been superb all game and ensured the Harriers fans went home with their heads held high. Well done lads!
Free-kick to Harriers in the 94th but the home keeper takes ball well.
Great block from Vaughan, putting his body on the line to deny Borini.
Four minutes added time.

Harriers attack Sunderland on break and win a throw in on rght.
The ball is played out to Danny Jackman, who slams a first time effort wide.
We have six minutes of the 90 left and Harriers are trailing by a single goal. If they are to have a push for a leveller they need to do it soon.

Good challenge by Gowling to dispossess Altidore as he dove towards the box.
Free-kick to Harriers. Gash wins the ball but the whistle blows for a foul on Diakite. The replay shows there was no infringement.
Final change for Mackems as Lee Cattermole goes off to be replaced by Jack Colback.
So, we get a chance to see Ladaop in action. It's a big chance for the former Colchester man to impress.
Two changes for Kiddy in the 68th minute. Freddie Ladapo is on for AMS and Callum Gittings replaces Johnson.
Sunderland's senior men are coming on. Fabio Borini and Craig Gardner replace Giaccherini and Ba respectively.
Kyle Storer is booked for a high challenge on Ondrej Celutska.
Sunderland press foward and Ba pounces on some defensive hesistation but curls an effort over the bar.
Sunderland have really lost their way. If Harriers can step it up they might yet score.
Danny Lewis does well to get both hands behind a powerful shot from Vergini.
Harriers break with some intent but the move breaks down when Storer was fouled by Roberge.
Sunderland have dropped down a level here, they are not as sharp as in the first half. That will only encourage Harriers.
55 - Harriers string together seven or eight passes and Jack Dyer tries his luck from distance but fires wide.
AMS needs some treatmen after being taken out by Ba, who is booked.
We're off!
That is half-time. Harriers go in trailing by just one goal but they have done well keep the home side at bay.
41 A nice passing phase goes to waste as Johnson gives the ball away with a wayward pass.
Corner to Sunderland. Giaccherini takes it but ball is headed away.
Valentin Roberge sees a long range effort deflect off a Harriers player and is watched by Lewis dip over the bar.
Johnson feels he s fouled by Diakite on edge of box but no free-kick is given.

Phew! Giaccherini slams a shot from the edge of the area just wide. Harriers' defence has sat back almost on their line and given the Italian too much space.
Break for Harriers. Gash switches the ball to the left to Marv Johnson but the winger can't beat his man.
Lee Vaughan had made a good supporting run on the right.
Danny Lewis dives down to get hold of a decent low strike by Lee Cattermole. The Sunderland skipper was allowed to run 20 yards unimpeded.
Good work by Danny Jackman, who just beats Giaccherini to an incisive pass in the box.
17 A shot for Harriers. This time Jack Byrne gets the ball off Gash but shoots well wide.
Sunderland naturally are bossing the game and have seen some speculative efforts fly wide.
Harriers were gifted a leveller then but they couldn't take it. Can they get back into game?

Oh dear! Gowling fails to clear the ball and gives it to Mavrias, who clinically slots home.
Goal! Harriers trailing!
Harriers under pressure immediately. Conceding two corners in a row.
The ball falls to El Hadji-Ba just outside the box but Josh Gowling blocks his on target effort.
1- Lee Vaughan clears a ball from the right off the line. Good work by Ondrej Celustska on the wing.
We're off!
Gus Poyet was true to his word and handed debuts to Argentinians pair Oscar Ustari (keeper) and Santiago Vergini (defender).
The referee for today's match is Roger East.
Both sets of players walk out onto the pitch. There are also several young mascots enjoying a kick about with the Kiddy boys, what a treat for them!
Sunderland have 14 wins against non-league opposition at home, scoring 63 goals.
Harriers have a very tough task against their Premier League opponents. The Black Cats have never lost to a non-league side on Wearside.
But Andy Thorn's side will be full of confidence after knocking out Newport and Peterborough.
While undoubtedly a second string Black Cats side, they can still pick Italian International Emmanuele Giaccherini, who has played 21 times for the Azzuri.
Harriers have brought about 4,000 supporters to Wearside, which is a huge effort. There is some talk about the attendance for today's match being around the 21,000 mark but we will give you the official figure when we get it.
Not sure why Lee Fowler misses out but we're speculating it's because of injury. But Jack Dyer has played against top flight opposition this season, starting against Fulham for the Brewers in the League Cup.
Sunderland have put out a side full of squad members, but have the big guns on the bench.
Sunderland: Ustari, Celitska, Robege, Diakite, Ba, Giaccherini, Vergini, Roberge, Cattermole, Mavrias.
Subs: Pickford, Yeung, Gardner, Colback, O'Shea, Borini, Watmore.
Harriers: Lewis, L Vaughan, Demetriou, Storer, Byrne, Gash, Johnson, Jackman, Morgan-Smith, Dyer Gowling.
Subs: Dunkley, Malbon, Angus, Gittings, N Vaughan, Aloi, Gittings.
Harriers make one change as Lee Fowler misses out completely and Jack Dyer is handed his first start in midfield. It is a big call by the manager to put the on-loan Burton man in.
Sunderland male ten changes from the side which defeated Manchester United in the League Cup, with only Lee Cattermole starting.
Arrived at the Stadium of Light and just trying to find my way around. It is wet and very windy outside. Could that level the playing field for Harriers? We shall wait and see.
Good morning Harriers fans. Are you on your way to the game or did you stay overnight? Send me your good luck messages for the boys.

Kentucky Derby and the civil war –black jockeys were real winners
The Kentucky Derby ix run this Saturday, May 1, 2010 and even with the prediction of possibly heavy rains, hundreds of thousands of folks, rich and not-so-rich, young and old, will crowd the stands and fill the boxes for the greatest two minutes of sports.
They will also tear up, many of them, as they stand and sing the familiar "My Old Kentucky Home," whether they sing the original words they grew up with, or the sanitized version decreed by today's political correctness. The tears will be the same.
Somewhere after the beautiful hats and dresses, and the celebrities present, we get to the equally magnificent horses who will race around the mile and a quarter track, and after the horses, people sometimes stop to think about their riders – the great racing jockeys.
Horse racing has been going on for some 400 years, and the jockeys in most of the early years were not white or Hispanic, but black. This will be the 136th Kentucky Derby, and as in the past 100 years or so, few jockeys, if any, will be black. And that is a shame. In point of fact, unless you are a true devotee of horse racing, you probably can't name a single black jockey.
The first Derby was in 1875, 10 years after the civil war, but the presence of black jockeys had been well known long before that. Many were slave jockeys, and their high standing gave them the freedom to move between states following races at a time when that privilege was not readily granted. Most were grooms and trainers for their owners' horses, as well as the riders.
Early on, the two men in America who were known as the finest ever to sit a horse were George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, though there is no record of either actually taking part in a race. Going on into Colonial days, black jockeys such as Curtis Austin and one known only as Simon were leading riders. Race horses were raised from Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Kentucky, all the way to Louisiana. Black jockeys, a they were termed then, rode the majority of the horses.
Even the civil war did not put a halt to the outstanding activities of black jockeys, some six or seven months after the war's beginning, slaves were still riding horses in the Old South. Some 15 of the first 28 Derby winners were ridden by black jockeys. Contrary to popular opinion, baseball player Jackie Robinson was not solely responsible for integrating major sports. That honor goes to the black jockeys, who worked and rode hard, and occasionally getting recompensed for it, regularly riding alongside white jockeys as well.
My personal favorite among the black jockeys is Jimmy "Wink" Winkfield, only the second rider ( behind Isaac "Ike" Murphy ) to ride back to back Kentucky Derby winners. The first horse on which he won the Derby was His Eminence in 1901, owned and trained by a man named Frank B. VanMeter who happened to be my great uncle. Jimmy won his first Derby at the age of 17, and after his win on Alan-a-Dale the next year, the rule of Jim Crow had arrived in earnest. Talk of the KKK, of threats, and of the need to replace black jockeys was everywhere. He would ride no more in Kentucky or in the United States, but his fame would end up even greater.
He packed his bags and left for Europe where he was a highly successful rider all over the continent, including Russia, Germany, Austria, France, Italy and Spain. He became wealthy, married happily, and lived to a ripe old age. He has a daughter living in the midwest even today, who works to keep his name alive.
Yet in 1961 when he returned to his native Kentucky to accept the National Turf Writers Award at the prestigious Brown Hotel in Louisville, he was at first denied admission unless he went around to the rear door. At 79, he waited patiently until his people could straighten the situation out, and then received his award and watched the Derby the next day. He then left to return to France, where he died at 91.
He was the last black jockey to win the Derby, and there has been only one black jockey to participate in the Derby since that time.
Edward Hotaling has an excellent book entitled "The Great Black Jockeys – The Lives and Times of the Men Who Dominated America's First National Sport", and Joe Drape has written one on Jimmy Winkfield entitled "Black Maestro." Both are well worth reading and adding to any horse or Derby lover's library.
It may be raining Saturday at Churchill Downs, but all eyes will be on the twin spires that day, and on the legacy left largely untold: that of the original black jockeys who helped to make the sport what it is today.
Stop on Saturday and drink a mint julep toast to all the black jockeys of the past, who deserve far more recognition than they have ever received.
Riders up!

Kinder Morgan Energy Partners Primed for Robust Growth
Ashit is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Recently it was reported by the Energy Information Administration, or EIA, that the US' recoverable amount of oil and gas reserves is 35% greater than in 2011. The shale revolution has unlocked the tremendous potential of the natural gas and oil industry, bringing about a huge increase in the oil and gas pipeline distribution around the U.S. and Canada.
In the AEO2013 Reference case and EVA projections, natural gas production is expected to reach 31.4 trillion cubic feet by 2035, which is a mammoth increase of 8.4 trillion cubic feet from its 2011 levels.
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (NYSE: KMP) is one of the largest midstream and the third-largest energy company in the United States with approximately 80,000 miles of pipelines and 180 terminals. The company operates in a defensive industry, as its revenue model is completely dependent on the utilization of its pipelines and terminals.
The company has exhibited robust results of late, as it witnessed 44% year-over-year growth in its revenues, the largest contributor being the product pipelines segment.
Acquisitions to spur growth
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners has made several acquisitions in order to spur growth through inorganic means. The recent acquisition of Copano Energy is expected to be accretive by the end 2013. Going forward, the strategic acquisition is expected to drive growth for the company and turn accretive over the next five years beginning in 2014.
The acquisition facilitated Kinder Morgan Energy Partners in expanding its pipelines across 70,000 miles. Furthermore, with the acquisition of El Paso Natural Gas Company and its projects worth $900 million, the company is well positioned to provide a robust and reliable infrastructure in North America.
Future investments and expansions plans
The supply of shale and oil-sands crude in North America is expected to exceed the demand from 2020 to 2030. To capitalize on this new exciting opportunity, the company plans to triple the size of its Trans Mountain pipeline from Edmonton, Alberta to Vancouver by 2017.
Other expansion plans such as Crude and Condensate pipeline system in Karnes County, Texas, BOSTCO Oil Terminal on Houston Ship Channel, the $450 million expansion of coal terminals and the $58 million Geismar chemical storage capacity expansion (GLT) allow me to keep a highly bullish view on this company.
Further, in order to diversify its business the company is exploring new business opportunities in leasing and acquiring natural resource reserves within its Terminals business segment.
Growth in CO2 division
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners is the largest supplier of CO2 in the Permian basin for enhanced oil recovery from mature oil wells; therefore, the company is expected to benefit from rising oil prices in the future.
The ongoing expansion projects in Colorado is expected to release some its capacity constraints and prop up the overall output to 1.4 Bcf a day by 2014. In addition, the new gas field along the Arizona-New Mexico border is expected to add another 200 million cubic feet per day to its supply. The additional output will be sold under long-term contracts, thus, mitigating any price fluctuations.
Competitive landscape
With a market capitalizations of $30.53 billion and $34.54 billion respectively, TransCanada (NYSE: TRP) and Enbridge (NYSE: ENB) are the two major players operating in the oil and gas pipeline segment in North America.
With a reported net income of $446 million, TransCanada has surpassed the comparable earnings ($370 million) for the first quarter. With its Bruce Power Units one and two on again, in addition to Bruce Power unit four and Sundance, which are back in service, TransCanada seems well positioned to report strong growth with its yearly earnings growth estimated at around 16.7% and 13.31% for the fiscal 2013 and 2014, respectively.
However, at present its Keystone project is under doubt due to various environmental issues. Nonetheless, ongoing projects such as Coastal GasLink from the Dawson Creek area to the West Coast of British Colombia and extension of NOVA Gas Transmission Systems, TransCanada certainly proposes a reliable long-term investment opportunity.
Enbridge exhibited robust performance during the first quarter of 2013 with adjusted earnings at around $488 million. Earlier this year, the company announced its plans for a $200 million pipeline for new oil sands project.
The new pipeline is expected to connect Athabasca Oil's planned Hangingstone oil sands project in northern Alberta to its regional pipeline network. The massive 50-Kilometer pipeline will carry approximately 16,000 barrels per day of crude oil by 2015.
It must be noted that, earlier this year, Enbridge also entered into a joint venture with Energy Transfer in order to develop a Trunkline gas-to-oil conversion and reversal project that connects the East Coast Gulf refinery market to the Patoka, Illinois, hub. Such efforts are expected to bolster its revenues and earnings in the future.
Bottom line
The cancellation of its Freedom Pipeline project enabled Kinder Morgan Energy Partners in delivering a dividend-pay-out ratio of 508%. In addition to this, shareholders of the company should be pleased with estimated year-over-year earnings pegged at around 12.77% and 8.54%, respectively, for the next two fiscal years.
I believe Kinder Morgan Energy Partners is primed to attain a strong upside in its share price, as its the largest midstream company with huge investments in the pipeline infrastructure coupled with new found shale deposits in North America. I believe Kinder Morgan Energy Partners will witness robust growth through the utilization of its assets in the long run.

EL CAJON, Calif. (BP) -- Have you ever worried about wearing out Romans 8:28? It's one of the greatest promises in the Bible: "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."
"All" makes it universal -- not just some, but all things work together for good. No matter what happens, God finds good in bad and transforms burdens into blessings. Romans 8:28 covers all contingencies -- like a blank check for the Christian, good at any time, drawn on the bank of God's infinite wisdom and power.
How do we cash this check and find good in the bad?
Perhaps someone reading these words is facing tragic or complicated circumstances. Afflictions come, but God's powerful promise in Romans 8:28 can overcome.
Claim this promise and capitalize on its truth.
Give the burden to the Lord
First, give your burden to the Lord. Remember Psalm 55:22: "Cast your burden on the Lord.... He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved." Lay your burden on the altar. If it crawls off, put it back on the altar.
You could have a "turning over" time, a ceremony where you "officially" give your problem to the Lord: "casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7).
Latch on to God's promises
Turning your burden over to God leaves a vacancy in your heart that God's promises can fill. Learn the vital art of recording God's promises on your heart. Cleave to them and be saturated by their power.
Find a promise, put your name on it, write it in the flyleaf of your Bible, or post it under the glass on your desk. And lay hold of its penetrating power.
Practice a platitude
Third, practice the great old platitudes. Adopt one or two as an expression of your philosophy. Here's a sampling:
-- Christians live by promises, not explanations.
-- Every problem has a purpose.
-- When you can't trace God's hand, you can trust His heart.
-- God doesn't waste suffering. If He plows, it's because He purposes a crop.
Preaching to ourselves is less offensive than listening to others toss platitudes at our pain.
It's also important to find ways of getting a good night's sleep during painful periods in life. When we're tired, we worry more, grieve more, hurt more deeply, feel more hopeless. During Elijah's depression, God gave him rest and refreshment (1 Kings 19).
The Bible says that God gives His beloved sleep.
Look for opportunities in the crisis
Finally, look for opportunities in the crisis. In Acts 16, Paul and Silas were flogged. After hours of hurting, they began praying and singing, witnessing and winning even their jailer.
Evelyn Hersey, a missionary in Japan, sought for years to win a certain man to Christ. She eventually returned to America with terminal cancer. As she was dying, she called her Japanese friend and said, "Don't worry about me; I'm bound for heaven. I just want you to know we love you and I'll be praying for you."
Soon afterward, the man became a Christian. "How could I fail to trust a Savior," he said, "who gave my friend the kindness and love to pray for me even while she was sick and dying?"
It's not always possible to instantly see good results from bad circumstances. Blessings are not like jack-in-the-boxes that shoot up suddenly when the crank is turned. It often takes months and years for things to work together for good. God has all eternity at His disposal, and He isn't in a hurry.
Faith is choosing to trust God's ability to fulfill Romans 8:28 even when the answers are not immediately apparent. That's why the Bible tells us to "wait on the Lord." The great hymnist, Henry Lyte, expressed it this way in his wonderful hymn, "Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken":
I have called Thee "Abba, Father,"
I have set my heart on Thee.
Storms may howl and clouds may gather,
All must work for good to me.

Older Buddypress download that doesn't require WPMU 2.8.1 update
Where can I find a download link to the older versions of BuddyPress? The download page only contains the newest version which would require me to upgrade WPMU and I do not want to do that just yet.
Currently I have BP 1.0 RC1 and WPMU 2.7. I was dreading the upgrade and moving all the files around to be compatible with the newer versions of BP and now that I have the time to at least update BP, I cannot find the download.
Any help would be appreciated.
The topic 'Older Buddypress download that doesn't require WPMU 2.8.1 update' is closed to new replies.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A reward is being offered by the Humane Society of the United States in the hopes of finding those responsible for a serious case of animal cruelty. It comes after a dog is dumped from a car window and left to die in a tied trash bag.
It happened late Tuesday where Chestnut and Liberty streets meet in downtown Louisville.
The picture says it all-a tiny eye peering from a ripped trash bag.
[SLIDESHOW: Karma]
It was discovered as a woman stopped at a traffic light at Chestnut and Liberty," she said she thought she heard something and she was like looking around and saw a trash bag," explained Rebecca Eaves of the Shamrock Arrow Fund.
Eaves said, a man walked up to the driver and the two looked inside. "The woman ripped the bag just a little and it (a dog) was a sealed in the trash bag."
Just under 3.5 pounds, he was shaking and badly injured. A Shamrock pet foundation volunteer riding her bike in the area called for help.
"Severe neglect charges should be brought up against the people that had him," Eaves told us, "because he was absolutely covered in flea nests, severely anemic, parasites inside and outside, the whole nine yards."
Dr. Scott Rizzo with Blue Pearl Veterinary Partners, who treated the dog added, "There's a couple of pelvic fractures."
Rizzo said those injuries are the likely result of being dropped from a car window onto concrete.
At first, they thought the 2-to3-year-old boy covered in mud and feces was a brown terrier mix, but an intense bath led to a big reveal.
"Sure enough," Dr. Rizzo said of the change, "He's a little maltese and he's white, you never would have thought that when he came in."
The dog is finally getting love and care, but he needed a name.
The decided on Karma-created by pet lovers on Facebook angry at the dog's abuser.
"This person (who did this)," Eaves explained, "Karma will get them back."
She said, "Seeing the picture of that dog in that bag, I haven't slept," adding, "The monster that could stuff it into a bag and discard it on the side of the road makes me sick."
Doctors at Blue Pearl say Karma is so small, he'll likely be able to heal without surgery.
The Humane Society of the United States is offering a $2,500 reward for any information leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible.
Metro Animal Services, who also helped this dog get the care it needed, is investigating.
Anyone with information is asked to call them at (502) 363-6609.

Denim looks better and fits better the less it is washed, jeans makers say. Some advocate freezing instead.
If you want to have the perfect pair of jeans, molded to your body, Carl Chiara of Levi Strauss & Co. has one key piece of advice: Don't wash them.
"The less people wash their jeans, the better their jeans become," he told Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan of The Wall Street Journal. "Denim really does shape to people's bodies, and when you wash a jean you lose some of that shape."
It seems the great unwashed are also hip.
September is National Coupon Month. But don't believe the hype -- not all advice about coupons is worth your time.
This post comes from Michael Koretzky at partner site Money Talks News.
When I heard this was National Coupon Month, I wondered: "Says who?" Apparently, the Promotion Marketing Association decided 13 years ago to declare September "a monthlong celebration of savings."
Except I'm not buying it, with a coupon or not.
I use coupons, but I purposefully flout a lot of the advice I've read this month about what I should be doing. For example:
"Don't buy an item you don't need just because you have a coupon for it." Well, I do.
For deep discounts, it can be worth navigating a maze of manic brides or conventioneers.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Meredith Schwab had been dreaming of a king-sized Simmons with memory foam and a pillow top. But as nice as it was, at $3,899 -- not including tax and delivery -- the bed was too expensive. So Schwab, an experienced haggler, asked the Mattress Warehouse salesman if there was any wiggle room on the price.
"He refused to budge," she recalled, and she walked out with nothing but a lecture on "bottom-line pricing."
Imagine Schwab's surprise a few weeks later when she spotted a Mattress Warehouse booth at a bridal show -- with reps offering 50% off all models. Schwab and her fiancée made the purchase on the spot, shelling out just $1,975, including taxes and delivery, for the same ultra-deluxe mattress.
A bridal show? Who would've thought?
Those who enter the job market now could face lower earnings for many years.
This guest post comes from Pop at Pop Economics.
Much has been written about the lost decade for stocks. Right now, the S&P 500 is hovering around 1,130. Its high in September 2000 was 1,520. That's a sad stretch.
But there's another lost decade that was even more painful. And for those of you who are just starting your careers, this one was a lot more important than the S&P 500's storm. According to a recent census report, between 2000 and 2009 the inflation-adjusted median income of U.S. households dropped 4.8%. (Hat tip to The Wall Street Journal.)
The poverty rate is also the highest since 1994, and the number of people in poverty is the highest in more than 50 years (the U.S. population has grown by a lot).
I hope none of you graduated during this awful period, or are about to graduate. If you did, sit down while you read this:

The government has launched a program that actually reduces mortgage principal.
This post comes from Stacy Johnson at partner site Money Talks News.
We've all watched as program after program rolls out of Washington, D.C., for those hapless homeowners who can't make their mortgage payments. And we've all seen or heard stories about people who simply stop paying their mortgage and walk away from their obligations.
Where's the help for the many homeowners who continue making payments on a mortgage that exceeds their home's value? It's finally here -- if you qualify.

Mortgage companies used a processor who signed 10,000 foreclosures a month -- without reading them or using a notary.
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis of MSN Money.
News organizations are writing about a breathtaking revelation that potentially affects foreclosures around the country. As The Washington Post explains:
Some of the nation's largest mortgage companies used a single document processor who said he signed off on foreclosures without having read the paperwork -- an admission that may open the door for homeowners across the country to challenge foreclosure proceedings.
The legal predicament compelled Ally Financial, the nation's fourth-largest home lender, to halt evictions of homeowners in 23 states this week.
The Post added that "hundreds of other companies, including mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, may also be affected because they use Ally to service their loans."

Sure, it's cheaper to buy olive oil than make your own. But what other foods, products and services are best left to someone else?
This guest post comes from Coupon Sherpa.
In an effort to be as frugal as possible, some of us have taken do-it-yourself a bit too seriously.
Sometimes it makes more monetary sense to buy a product or pay for a service than go the DIY route. For example, anyone who's tried to change the oil in their car and gotten a face full of gunk knows using Jiffy Lube is well worth the extra cost. On the other hand, it's kind of ridiculous to hire a maid when money is tight and you have the time (and physical ability) to handle the job yourself.
In fact, there are times when doing it yourself can cost you more money than hiring a pro. There's a reason most of us don't attempt our own plumbing. (If only my landlord would read that last sentence!)

Wonder how some websites are able to place shortcut images inside the
address bar, the Favorite menu or as an icon on your desktop? Well,
Internet Explorer 5 allows for the placement of an image in the address
bar. This is an excellent way to distinguish your website from
others. The image that you'll ultimately be displaying as a shortcut
on a PC will have the arrow in the lower left hand corner and will be
displayed much smaller in the address bar than in the image editor you
The image must be in .ico (Windows Icon) format. Not every image tool allows files to be saved in .ico format. There are several applications that will convert files to .ico format.
Understanding these limitations and once
you create your image in .ico format, you're ready to display it online.
Simply add the following within the head tags on your document
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.your-url.com/name of file.ico">
The working script at psacake.com looks like this
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.psacake.com/favicon.ico">
Images typically do not show up in the address bar until a page from that url has been saved locally on your PC and sometimes do not appear until after re-start, so be wary when creating your .ico

It's been a fixture of the Minneapolis skyline for the past 32 years, but this weekend will change the way people see the city as crews begin to deflate the Metrodome roof before demolition starts.
It didn't take long for crews to start taking down bits and pieces. In fact, demolition crews got to work just one day after the last Vikings game. Soon, however, the progress will be much more noticeable.
Unlike an implosion of a hotel, there won't be much fanfare as the dome is disassembled. In fact, it may not even be noticeable to the naked eye.
When asked how long it will take for the roof to come down, crews honestly replied that they don't know since it's never been done -- on purpose -- before.
The iconic stadium was first inflated on Oct. 2, 1981. Since then, it's hosted everything from monster truck shows to two World Series championships. Yet, in an area of planned obsolescence, it may have outlived its useful life. The first sign came that fateful Sunday morning when the massive Teflon and fiberglass roof collapsed under 17 inches of snow.
Yet, before the Vikings can call a shiny new stadium home, the Metrodome must be taken apart. For weeks, crews have been disassembling kitchens and chairs. The seats are being sold -- some to fans, and others will find new lives in high schools and college stadiums. Even the turf has been re-purposed.
In fact, 90 percent of everything inside the Metrodome -- including concrete, the roof and equipment -- is being reused or recycled; however, crews can't start to bring down the concrete structure until the dome itself is deflated.
For decades, someone in the operations center at the stadium has monitored all the gauges to keep the pressure difference consistent between the inside and outside of the Dome. On Saturday, that will change. They'll simply open all the doors and let the bubble deflate.
Over the next few weeks, crews will prepare for concrete demolition -- and that's when Minnesotans will finally see that the days of the dome are gone.
The schedule on Saturday has no specific time and it is weather dependent. While the original roof fabric that came down in the snow storm was sold for souvenirs, the $24-million replacement will be turned into tarps that will become property of the demolition company.

Ahhhh. I can relax a little. Last Monday I launched SethTV.com, I combining it with a benefit for the Chesapeake Bay Academy and there was a lot to do to get the show ready. Usually, when I do a benefit, I book the singers and have them sing a great song. Deliciously simple. This required all the performers to sing a song from a role they did in high school. But I knew that if they just sang the song as is, it would be enjoyable for 20 seconds and then become a live version of Ambien. So, every song had a concept attached and that's where the headachy-ness came in.
The first episode of my reality show is all about me doing a fundraiser — and how last-minute and panic-stricken I am throughout the whole process. Last Monday was no different. I was photocopying music up until the last minute and solidifying concepts up until "places" was called. But it all came together! The whole show began with Christine Pedi singing a song from her first show, Godspell, which she did at her all-girls high school. She gave us a sample of "Save the People" up the octave with the horrible soprano straight tone she used as a 15-year-old. After a few measures, she stopped and asked me who my ideal female cast would be and she then did her amazing imitations to create an all-star version of Godspell. She did Patti LuPone singing "Day By Day" and then Judy and Liza doing "All For The Best." It was perfect to have Liza do "Don't forget that when you get to Heaven you'll be blessed. Yes! It's all for the best!" She also did a hilarious version of Bette Davis doing the finale, which was simply a Bette line-reading on "Oh, God, I'm dying." Then "Oh, God. I'm dead."

Next up came Norbert Leo Butz. He told everyone that he was too embarrassed at first to do theatre in his school because he was a jock, so he would go to neighborhood all-girls schools and volunteer himself. He literally called it "making the rounds" because he rented himself out to so many of them. First he did his Harold Hill for us and sang a jazzed-up version of "The Sadder But Wiser Girl." So good! Before the concert, I asked him to sing "I'll Know" from Guys and Dolls (because he played Sky Masterson), and I emailed him to tell him that my friend Melissa agreed to sing it with him. When we began rehearsal, I brought Melissa onstage. He got so excited because he didn't realize that "my friend Melissa" was, in fact, Melissa Errico! He kept telling her that he had no idea she was doing it and that he was thrilled. Then, as soon as she sang her first note, he interrupted and said, "I can't believe I get to stand here and listen to you sing this!" My initial concept was to have Melissa tower over him because Norbert was an especially short leading man in high school. He actually still is, but he told me that people don't realize it when they've seen him in shows. He said that fans have met him and been shocked that he's only 5-feet-7-inches tall. They've told him "You looked so tall in Rent and Wicked." He said, "Yeah, that's because Daphne Rubin-Vega is really short and Kristin Chenoweth is even shorter. Of course I look like a giant next to someone who's 4-foot-10!"
When Norbert came to rehearsal he asked me if we could do his concept for the number. He based it on the fact that through many years of high school, he was a major stoner! Nowadays he never does anything of that nature, but back then his friends would say, "If weed were a woman, Norbert would marry it." Wowza! That night, Norbert told the audience that when he played Sky he was very method-y and found all these moments in the text that related to his pot addiction. He then sang the song as he did back then. And the crazy thing is, there actually are so many lines that relate pot! Sky says, "You've got this guy all figured out. Right down to what he smokes." Next, he actually tells Sarah: "You're talking about love. You can't dope it like that." Dope it like that? WTF? Norbert also added his own amazing touches. When he got to the lyric "And I'll stop. And I'll stare…" he added a hilarious stoned-style, staring-at-nothing moment for 15 seconds. And, of course, by the end, the two of them sounded so phenomenal together.

This is pathetic. Simple solution, don't support them. In the end, any cost gets passed onto the consumer. To me, it seems as if Microsoft is acting all high & mighty. I surely will not be supporting them whatsoever and I've been a XBL member since Day 1 on the original Xbox. Still interested in Sony's take on all of this. But, if it's just as bad, I will stick with gaming on PC and skip this wreckage.

Phil Casabon-approved.
When you ski with as much style as Phil Casabon, you need a winter wardrobe that will follow suit. Pull on Phil's signature Orage B-Dog Jacket, and all you have left to do is man up and slide that big handrail system you've been eyeballing. Stuffed with toasty 500-fill duck down, this jacket keeps you warm when an urban session goes late into the night, and if the weather's warm or you're that hardcore, you can zip off the sleeves for the most gangster-looking vest you've ever worn.
If you take the B-Dog inbounds to ski some pow, it's got a powder skirt and wrist gaiters to keep the snow from invading your steeze-fortress, and a long fit so no one confuses you with your skinny-skiing dad. Spinning lift laps is easy, too, with the B-Dog's arm pass pocket, and a little water won't send you home, thanks to the two-layer nylon canvas shell's Eco DWR treatment.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
Bought this for my 13 year old son and the sleeves came right off and he wore it as a vest and loved it. Its a heavy jacket and we got size S ( he is about 5 6").It does fit fairly big but he likes the oversize fit.
Versatile and hip jacket

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
This was purchased for my 14 year old who has worn it as a vest every day skiing for the past week (no snow & warm temps in Tahoe). The best part for him is all the other freeskiers telling him they like the jacket. It is already oversized and long so he didn't even have to order a size up to have the fit he likes. It also has a ton of pockets for all the gear.

SPOKANE, Wash. - KHQ's Alex Rozier has learned that the Spokane County Prosecutor's Office has officially filed charges against former Airway Heights Corrections Center Sex Therapist Sarah Brooks, for having sexual intercourse with a sex offender inside the prison. The prosecutor's office filed charges for three counts of custodial sexual misconduct in the first degree.
According to the police report a staff member found Brooks "in a state of undress" in a room with the sex offender. Once investigators got a chance to talk with her they asked her why they were there. She said, "I was witnessed by another officer being inappropriate, my shirt was up and my bra was showing." The investigator then asked her to again confirm that her shirt was up, and Brooks stated, "He asked me to, there was no sexual conduct."
According to the police report, in her first interview Brooks was adamant that their relationship had just started and that there had been nothing sexual before she was caught. She called it "all conversational." But later she admitted that she and Wright had a mutual attraction for each other.
After acknowledging their mutual attraction Brooks continued to spill more information saying that they had both said they loved each other and that she had written letters to the inmate under a different name containing explicit sexual content. Brooks said she made up the name so that she would not get caught when the mail came into the prison.
Brooks also said during investigators interviews that she was married and that her husband works at the Airway Heights Corrections Center as well. As we now know, Brooks is no longer an employee.
KHQ Local News Reporter Alex Rozier is continuing to track this story and will have more developments throughout the day.

Russell Westbrook missed his first six shots of last night's NBA Finals Game 2, and the Thunder's slow start left them unable to overcome the Heat despite a thrilling finish. A bellwether for Westbrook's anemic first quarter performance came before the game, when during the national anthem he looked awfully sleepy.

BC-FBN--Saints-Dolphins,1st Ld-Writethru
Devlin helps Dolphins beat Saints 24-21
Eds: Dolphins 24, Saints 21. Adds details. With AP Photos.
AP Sports Writer
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) - Drew Brees wore a uniform - and even eye black - but never played. Ryan Tannehill also watched from the sideline, laughing at the Kiss Cam when it showed during a timeout on the scoreboard video screen.
The final preseason game for the Saints and Dolphins was for reserves, and Miami third-string quarterback Pat Devlin led his team to a 24-21 victory Thursday night.
Devlin threw for 259 yards, including a 56-yard pass to Marvin McNutt on fourth-and-4 with 3:02 left for the winning score.
Many of the players who took part will be out of work by Saturday, when teams must reach their 53-man roster limit. The fans knew it, which is why the stadium was two-thirds empty.
The Saints (3-1) open the season Sept. 8 against Atlanta eager to rebound from a 2012 season that went wrong from the start following their bounty scandal. The Dolphins (2-3) open at Cleveland the same day, hoping to end a streak of four consecutive losing seasons.
By the start of the season, the final exhibition game will be long forgotten. A neutral zone infraction by the New Orleans defense on the first play signaled the quality of what was to come.
The game was the Saints' first in Miami since they beat Indianapolis in the Super Bowl four years ago, but this New Orleans team bore little resemblance to that one. The only first-teamers to start were receiver Marques Colston and center Brian de la Puente.
Backup quarterback Luke McCown played one series, directing a 14-play touchdown drive. He went 4 for 7 for 44 yards.
Rookie Ryan Griffin went 15 for 31 for 198 yards and one interception to end the Saints' final scoring threat. Undrafted rookie Khiry Robinson ran for 115 yards in 22 carries and caught six passes for 50 yards, while Mark Ingram scored on an 8-yard touchdown run but lost a fumble.
Right guard John Jerry was the only Miami first-teamer to start. Devlin, just hoping to make the roster, went 22 for 38 with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
Rishard Matthews helped his chances of winning the No. 4 receiving job by making three catches for 37 yards. Rookie Dion Sims, who is challenging Charles Clay for playing time at tight end, caught four passes for 36 yards, including an 8-yard touchdown. McNutt caught four for 99.
Rookie Mike Gillislee ran for 47 yards in 14 carries. Rookie kicker Caleb Sturgis, who won a job in training camp, went 3 for 3 on field goals and finished 9 for 9 in preseason.
Top draft pick Dion Jordan missed his third consecutive game because of a lingering shoulder injury.

Got the phone 2 weeks back from flipkart. I had been using the Samsung Galaxy S2 and LG Optimus 2x before this. Following are my observations when compared to S2.
Pros/Likes when compared to S2
1. Solid construction - The plasticky feel of S2 is something that has been debated over and over again by many people. My problem with S2 was mainly not with the feel, but with the extra thin waist which made you feel as if you'd drop the phone anytime while using it. The Atrix 2 on the other hand is a very solid phone and you'd feel the difference in construction immediately when you hold it.

Hello Flipkart users...Motorola Atrix 2 is a very good phone....Still I want you to read this....
Motorola has stopped its operations in majority of Asia Pacific including India as part of a major restructuring plan put forward by the new Motorola Mobility CEO
Mr. Dennis Woodside.
I am wondering, why Flipkart raised the price from Rs 17299 to Rs 18500 at this point of time when Motorola has officially released a statement that they are leaving India.

i got this phone from kolkata, about a week ago. I have been using this phone as my main device since then.

Loud speakers are not so good .... (Expand)

Slightly heavy but can... (View complete review)
The initial technical issues(network issues) disappeared after updating the software and OS. Only issue may be service. The network is not established widely which makes things difficult. Nevertheless the phone did not give me a chance. (View complete review)
I bought this phone and though this is currently out of stock, would recommend this as a quality phone within 20k. I have had this phone for the last 3 months and have upgraded to ICS.
