Sizing takes Gold on third start over hurdles
Sizing Gold & Andrew Lynch jump the last
The 5yo son of Flemensfirth won his bumper at Navan in February before he finished second to Seefood and Don Cossack on his first two starts over hurdles.
Sent off the 4/6 favourite this afternoon, he raced in second for much of the contest before he moved through to lead at the third last.
He was pushed out to assert before the last and he kept on strongly from there to record a comfortable three length win.
The Pat Fahy trained Morning Assembly ran a decent race to finish second at 4/1 under Davy Russell while the front running Hard To Swallow was a further twenty-six lengths back in third under Tom Doyle for Jim Culloty at 7/1.
Henry De Bromhead said afterwards: "He jumps and gallops. We dropped him back to two miles at Navan the last day and he ran well behind Don Cossack but looking at that performance I wonder why I dropped him back as he really wants further again.
"He is a massive hose and is a real stayer and one to look forward to over fences. I would imagine he will go for a novice over 2m 4f plus now and I wouldn't be rushing to run him on fast ground."
Boylesports go 16/1 about the winner for the Albert Bartlett Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KWSN)– The University of Sioux Falls track & field team had 14 athletes named to the USTFCCCA All-Academic team while both the men's and women's squads were tabbed as All-Academic teams by the USTFCCCA. For the women, USF had nine athletes receive All-Academic recognition. Recent graduates, Kayla Coffee and Kristin Majerus; seniors Brigitte Gross, Kendra Knight, Samantha Koch, and Kristen Townley; juniors Chelsey Schenavar and Marissa Whipple; and sophomore Sophie Harano were all recognized for their accomplishments in the classroom.
As a team, the USF women also were named as one of 92 Division II All-Academic teams. USF was one of 10 NSIC schools to earn the honor, and held the third highest GPA among NSIC institutions. On the men's side, the Cougars had five athletes named as all-academic individuals. Recent graduates Nathan Bridgman, Andrew Ellsworth, and Colin Koth; and redshirt juniors Bobby Brockmueller and Billy Brockmueller were each recognized as scholar athletes.
The men's team also was honored as one of 42 Division II All-Academic teams, boasting a 3.424 team grade point average— the second highest GPA among all Division II schools and the highest team GPA in the NSIC. Johnson C. Smith (N.C.) was the top team in Division II with a cumulative team mark of 3.448, followed closely by USF at 3.424 and Bentley (Mass.) at 3.33. To qualify as an All-Academic Individual, an athlete must hold a 3.25 GPA and hit a NCAA provisional or automatic standard during the indoor or outdoor season.
To earn All-Academic team honors, a program must have a cumulative team GPA of 3.00 or higher. "Earning these awards says a lot about the type of athletes that we have in our program," said Director of Track & Field, Reid Ehrisman. "Having athletes who excel on the track and in the classroom shows that hard work and dedication are required in both to be successful." Courtesy of University of Sioux Falls

Olives: A Violent romance - Alexander McNabb
On Olives so far:
Mr McNabb is a local author who finally published his own book independantly after years of hard work - Congrats! :)
Was kind enough to visit the TwitbookClub at our usual haunt in Wildpeeta for an interview about his book. We had lots of laughs and got author insight on the story.
@ The Back:
When Paul Stokes runs out of choices, his only path is betrayal.
The fragile peace is holding. Behind the scenes, the Israelis are competing for dwindling water resources as Jordan and Palestine face drought. Daoud Dajani has the solution to Jordan's water problems and is bidding against the British for the privatisation of Jordan's water network.
When journalist Paul Stokes befriends Dajani's sister, Aisha, British intelligence agent Gerald Lynch realises Paul offers access to Dajani - the man threatening to drain Israel's water supply and snatch the bid from the British. Blackmailed by Lynch into spying on Dajani, his movements seemingly linked to a series of bombings, Paul is pitched into a terrifying fight for survival that will force him to betray everyone around him. Even the woman he loves.
Olives explores love in conflict, the pull of home set against the excitement of the new and a people trying to live alongside the conflict we see on television, the human stories behind glib media coverage that reduces the ebb and flow of existence to a few throwaway catchphrases. Forced to spy for his country, Paul finds himself embroiled in a struggle for survival between good and evil where the people he wants to see as the good guys are worse than he could ever have imagined.
So far the storyline has got me sitting on the edge of my seat what with the looming cloud of uncertainty you feel for Paul and the Dajanis as he struggles with the pressures of spying on his friends or face persecution.
Also constantly guessing about the relationship between him and the lovely daughter of the Dajani family - Aisha - and whether or not they'll have a happy ending.
Before anyone starts to assume this book is just feeding off the political and human rights situation in Palestine, I would tell them not to shove the book onto that shelf just yet.
McNabb hasn't made it a clear-cut Good vs Evil political intrigue, as is so monotonously used in most cheesy propaganda-esque novels. In fact the line is quite blurred.
Both "sides" have a darker element to them - they're not all pristine and transparent - as most of these situations are in reality. And its the realistic imagery (utilised from years of living in the Middle east) that immerses you into the Olives world.
I'm excited to see where it leads.
Want more info? Check out the Olives Blog
So far the book is only published and for sale in Bookstores in the the UAE, but is available for delivery from The Book Depository for approx £10 (shipped free to over 100 countries including US :] )
It's available on Kindle here
Available for shipping in the US on Amazon (paperback $11.51) here
Also available on iBooks and Barnes & Noble. Just search "Alexander McNabb"

NEWMAN LAKE, Wash. -- The Spokane County Sheriff's Office is warning people living in and around Newman Lake to be on the lookout for cougars. Some neighbors have said they have recently seen at least one cougar lurking around their yards.
Roger Flaa said he has seen several cougars behind his home.
"They'll look and then they'll take off," said Flaa. "They're just about as afraid of you as you are of them."
Flaa looks out for three small dogs. He uses a tall fence to protect them. Flaa said while he is not exactly threatened, he does stay alert when roaming the acres behind his house.
Some neighbors have said they have recently seen cougars wandering the open fields. Some suspect they killed a dog.
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife said it is not uncommon to see cougars this time of year, especially when deer are plentiful.
"It has been an easy spring; it has been an easy winter. So we have more deer. More deer, more food, more cougars," said Flaa.

"Oh my God, this is a disaster. Now what are we going to do?" lamented one studio publicist handling a bunch of nominees and potential winners.
No, he wasn't talking about the WGA strike or the Super Tuesday primary results.
Stay at the Governors Ball until Wolfgang Puck runs out of chocolate miniature Oscars?
Drop them off at the Beverly Hills Hotel for Norby Walter's Night Of 100 (Aging) Stars?
There's always the Elton John AIDS benefit but you have pay for that.
So just when you think this awards season couldn't get any loopier, Graydon Carter
puts the shrimp away in solidarity with the writers. Hollywood has officially entered the Twilight Zone.
This has to be a dream scenario for the academy. First, the Golden Globes implode and now Vanity Fair is voluntarily turning the Governors Ball into the place to be après Oscar.
Even though other Oscar party-givers like Entertainment Weekly, Ed Limato and Dani Janssen are also going AWOL that weekend, the star-studded, press-free, super casual, all A-list " Night Before" party over at the Bev Hills Hotel pool on Saturday the 23rd looks to be an even hotter ticket than usual. Since the pricey tickets benefit the Motion Picture and Television Fund (with some of that going to needy writers), the town can feel good about getting jiggy there at least.
Gotta have some fun, especially after a season that just seems to keep on going until the bitter end.
Ballots have been in academy hands for a week. The Oscar nominee lunch is over. Most guilds have already handed out their award. And yet, still no one is slowing down, even on the Q&A circuit.
"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" had a packed screening and Q&A session at the Pacific Design Center on Tuesday night with producer Kathleen Kennedy and cinematographer Janusz Kaminski.
Kennedy told us she cast her Oscar ballot right away, something other members have been indicating as well. They waited until the last minute for the nomination phase, but for the final vote most seem to be mailing it early (ballots are due Feb. 19).
That possibility doesn't stop anyone from getting out there to press the flesh and talk up their contenders.
Monday night, the below-the-line crew of "There Will Be Blood" hit the Harmony Gold event while down the street at the Chateau Marmont, where "La Vie En Rose" best actress nominee Marion Cotillard was spending the last night of her month-long stay in L.A. at a crowded party thrown in her honor by Chopard and Picturehouse.
The next day, she boarded a plane for Paris but promised to return in 10 days for an extended stay that will include the Oscars and a starring role opposite Christian Bale and Johnny Depp in Michael Mann's "Public Enemies," rolling in March.
Also that night, "Atonement" director and show-biz trouper Joe Wright came to a Landmark screening Q&A at 9:30 p.m. following a 14-hour day spent at the Los Angeles Times building where he was shooting his first American movie, "The Soloist" with Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx.
He was joined by his nominated "Atonement" and "Soloist" art directors, costume designer, editor and cinematographer along with screenwriter Christopher Hampton, who was also out earlier signing copies of his script at Book Soup.
No rest for the weary when you're up for 14 BAFTAS and seven Oscars.
Peek into Oscars crystal ball
As party panic ensues, get your mind off the revelry-free possibilities with a look at awards past and what that bodes for the nominees. (Sorry, Coen brothers.)

Today in everything that's wrong with the way kids are being raised in America: a junior high school in California has banned wearing skinny jeans, leggings, and yoga pants. Well, actually just girls are banned from wearing tight pants.
The boys? The boys can wear whatever they want ... the new dress code at Kenilworth Junior High is really just about keeping girls from "distracting" those hormonal teenage boys with their tempting gams.
THIS is the kind of thing that makes me want to lock my daughter up in her bedroom and throw away the key.
Not her luscious legs, but the fact that it's still OK to teach a bunch of teenage boys that they just can't help themselves for drooling all over the girls ... and girls are still being taught that it's their jobs to keep the boys in line.
That's really the message that's being sent by the ridiculous dress code at the Petaluma junior high, isn't it? Girls can't wear tight pants not because they've done anything wrong, but because their male classmates are acting like immature little jerks.
You'll have to pardon me for thinking here (after all, I'm just a girl, what do I know?), but wouldn't it be a whole lot easier to sit the boys down for a talk and tell them to cool it? Not only would it save the parents of every girl in the district from having to revamp their kids' wardrobes, but it would prepare the boys for what will happen when they walk out into a dress code-free world where women walk around flaunting bare ankles and even, gulp, showing their knees!
I don't have a son; I have a daughter. In my house, she's being taught to wear clothing that makes her feel comfortable and is "classy," but that's as far as we will go. We aren't going to teach her that she needs to change herself to keep boys in line because, frankly, that's not her job.
That's the boys' jobs ... and more importantly the jobs of the boys' parents. If you have a son, I need you to step up and teach him right from wrong. I need you to teach him to respect women, to teach him that it's not a girl's job to "cover up" so he doesn't get horny ... it's his job to get his hormones under control.
It will make for a much nicer world beyond junior high if you do ...
What do you make of this ban on tight pants for girls?
Image via hiker32/Flickr
Oh for fucks sake. Why dont we just go ahead and make girls wear burkas if we are going down this road. What qualifies as "skinny jeans" to the school though? When I think "skinny jean" Its just tight around the calves and ankles instead of a boot cut or straight leg jean. How exactly is lower leg hugging jeans more distracting if a boot cut style still fits around the butt and thighs just the same?
Where does it end? This is getting beyond ridiculous.
This country is slowly heading towards a country like Iraq.
They have to make what seem like ridiculous dress code rules to deal with ridiculous dress. Skinny jeans and leggings wouldn't be an issue if they were worn appropriately.
Now our girls are overly sexualized at an early age. Our girls our promoted to wear booty shorts! BOOTY SHORTS! We couldn't wear shorts that were higher than our knees until HS. THAN if someone one was dressed provocatively, they were sent to the principal and made to change. Now we deem sexual confidence with being independent and proud. I don't agree. You don't become independent or strong by only being confident in just how you look. ESPECIALLY if you are only getting the wrong attention from boys.
Part 2: But thanks to people like the Kardashians and Snooki and Teen Mom, our girls aren't taught to be intelligent women. They dress like the trends govern. WHY can't we teach our girls to be classy?! Dress appropriately for school!
Other things that need to go leggings. They wear spandex leggings that you can practically see through!N I am sorry I don't want to see anybody's ass cheeks! This includes the boys who wear pants so big we can see your boxers. PULL up them pants!Also, l love fashion. I think that its possible to be classy and not trashy and in trend. Also, if you like it a little trashy, go for it, if your an adult!! Not a KID, in school!End Rant.

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
Flu Season Off to Slow Start . . .
By Steven Reinberg
HealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 23 (HealthDay News) -- The 16-day federal government shutdown earlier this month hindered the ability of U.S. health officials to monitor flu activity around the country.
Turns out, there wasn't much to monitor because there haven't been many outbreaks of the infectious disease so far this fall, officials said.
But that could change at a moment's notice, noted the health officials, who are fond of saying that the only thing predictable about the flu is its unpredictability.
So far, there have been isolated cases of flu in Alabama, South Carolina and Texas, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"The flu has been pretty quiet right now," said Dr. Joe Bresee, chief of the epidemiology and prevention branch in the CDC's Influenza Division. "But flu is coming, it's right around the corner and we expect an increase to come in the next few weeks."
And now's a perfect time to get vaccinated, he said, adding, "it's never too late to get vaccinated."
Getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent the flu, and there's plenty of vaccine to go around, Bresee pointed out.
"We expect to have 135 to 139 million doses available, so there should be plenty of vaccine to vaccinate anybody who wants to be vaccinated," he said.
The number of Americans getting vaccinated has risen since the H1N1 pandemic flu in 2009, according to Bresee.
"It's edging up in most groups, which is really gratifying, especially in some of the high-risk groups like pregnant women and kids. We are seeing good gains over the last four or five years," he noted.
"But we have a long way to go," he added. "Still only half of Americans get vaccinated. Vaccine is still the single best thing folks can do to prevent flu."
It's too early to tell, however, whether this year's vaccine will be a good match for the flu strains that are circulating.
"As with most things with flu, we always hedge a little bit. We do know the vaccine is a good match for the strains that have circulated around the world and the U.S. over the summertime and that's a good sign. But we won't know really until we get into the season, but we think it will be pretty good," Bresee said.
Flu season typically starts in the fall and peaks in January and February.
Even if this season's vaccine isn't a perfect match, it can still be beneficial. Antibodies triggered in response to a vaccination with one flu virus can sometimes protect against different but related viruses, according to the CDC.
There are three kinds of flu viruses that are most common today: influenza A (H1N1) viruses, influenza A (H3N2) viruses, and influenza B viruses. According to the CDC, the 2013-2014 vaccine consists of the following three viruses:
- an A/California/7/2009 (H1N1) pdm09-like virus;
- an A(H3N2) virus antigenically like the cell-propagated prototype virus A/Victoria/361/2011;
- a B/Massachusetts/2/2012-like virus.

VCU Medical Center's Brain Stimulation Program offers Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) as a well studied, safe and effective medical procedure. ECT is used to treat a variety of psychiatric disorders when patients have not responded to other treatment modalities. With ECT, a small amount of electrical current is passed carefully through a person's brain to trigger a brief seizure. Biological changes that result from the seizure are believed to cause changes in brain chemistry quickly reversing symptoms of specific psychiatric disorders.
ECT is generally safe and painless; it is conducted while patients are under brief general anesthesia. ECT is administered in a controlled setting by a team of psychiatrist, certified psychiatric nurses, and anesthesiologists. Here at VCU Medical Center, ECT is administered in our ECT Suite located in the North Hospital. We provide both inpatient and outpatient services, depending upon the patient's medical and psychiatric condition.
For more information, please visit other pages on our site or call:
TMS Clinic: 804-628-1766
ECT Referrals: 804-828-4570 or 804-628-1410
DBS and VNS: 804-828-4570
ECT causes brief seizures that result in a biological change which is critical to the effectiveness of the treatment. It is believed the changes in the brain chemistry, produced by ECT, are crucial to restoring normal function.
ECT is one of the fastest methods to reduce symptoms who severely depressed or suicidal. It is also used in patients who suffer from mania, and some forms of schizophrenia. ECT is generally used when patients have not responded to other treatments, when other treatment modalities appear to be less safe or difficult to tolerate, or when psychiatric/medical conditions require patients to recover quickly. For some patients, the medical risk of medications may be greater than the medical risk of ECT. It is often used when patients pose a severe threat to themselves or others, as ECT provides faster relief than medications.
Before ECT is administered, the patient's medical condition is carefully assessed including a medical history, physical examination and necessary medical test. Prior to the actual ECT procedure, the patient is put to sleep using general anesthesia, and a muscle relaxant is given. Electrodes are placed on the patient's scalp and a controlled electric current is applied, which causes a brief seizure in the brain. Patients are carefully monitored during the treatment. The patient awakens minutes later. When treatment is completed, the patient recovers while monitored by trained staff.
Typically, patients receive ECT 3 times weekly for a total of 8-10 "index" treatments. Upon completion of index treatments, many patients are scheduled for maintenance treatments tailored for the individual.
ECT costs are covered by most health insurance plans, Medicare and Medicaid. The amount you pay depends on your health insurance plan.

A meeting was held in Ankeny Wednesday afternoon to discuss the future of automatic traffic cameras in Iowa.
Currently, cameras are operated and monitored independently by the cities that install them.
Now, the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) wants cities to prove that the cameras are actually necessary, making the cameras more of a last resort, and standardizing their use.
At the meeting, police said the cameras save lives, and that the proposed regulations are so strict that they essentially ban the cameras.
But some think the cameras are just a way for the city to make money.
"Quite frankly, I don't know what the scheme is, but I know it's not about public safety," said David Beer, an rental car company operator in Cedar Rapids.
"I totally disagree," said Cedar Rapids Police Chief Wayne Jerman. "It's not about the money, it's about changing driver behavior, and again, the data supports that."
Chief Jerman said that since the cameras have been installed on Interstate 380 in Cedar Rapids, no one has died on that stretch of road.
The new DOT rules would push cities to try other options before using cameras, and place guidelines on where they can be installed.
"The big thing from our perspective is that safety is a comprehensive issue," said Iowa DOT Director Paul Trombino. "It's not just the element of enforcement and rarely is it achieved without dealing with a whole series of safety countermeasures to address this."
But the proposed guidelines could outlaw many current cameras, and there's a lot on the line. Regardless of safety, the traffic cameras are a major source of revenue for the city of Cedar Rapids. The Associated Press projects the city will make over $4 million from the cameras this year.
No decisions were made at the meeting in Ankeny, and public is allowed to comment on the proceedings until 4 p.m. Thursday by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Gross sandwich!...or is it?1 Reviews
Don't ask why I wrote this chapter. I started off with the intention of Bob talking to Joyce, but I make this stuff up as I go along and I went off track...way off track, this is why I shouldn't ha...
"Joyce...I was wondering if you...if you wanted to erm...go for...a coffee sometime?" I said nervously. Joyce laughed at me, her laugh wasn't nasty though.
"Oh bob, thats so sweet of you but...I'm already seeing Frank." My heart felt as if it had been broken. I stared at her. She gave me a sad smile back.
"I'm sorry" She shrugged.
"But...but...Frank?...why?" I asked, hadn't Ray said she liked me? Joyce shrugged.
"He's just so cute!" She smiled. Before walking away.
"NOOOO!" I yelled, some one grabbed my shoulder from behind.
"BOB! BOB! BOB! BOB!" It was Frank. I yelled and tried to kick and hit him crying out as he shook me. Although I was hitting him and his head was now on the floor he continued to yell my name.
"BOB BOB BOB BOB!" His head was yelling.
"WHY WON'T YOU DIE!?" I screamed, he laughed at me.
"You can't hurt me Bob" His head rose up and attached itself to his shoulders. "No one can" He smiled at me, long white fangs glistening, he grabbed my shoulder and began to shake me.
"BOB! BOB! WHAT THE HELL MAN? WAKE UP YOU DUMB ASS!" What was he on about, suddenly something smacked me in the cheek, I gasped and everything went black...
I opened my eyes, Frank was about an inch away from me, I yelled out, my arms and legs flailing, causing me to get tangled in the bed covers and eventually fall on the floor.
I shot up, Frank was looking at me, one of his eyebrows raised, a mug of coffee in hand.
"Err...are you ok?" He asked. I suddenly understood that I had been dreaming.
"I'm fine" I mumbled as I got off the floor and put the covers back on the bed.
"What the hell were you dreaming about? You were yelling 'Nooo' And I had to come and wake you up, then you started hitting me and shouting 'Why won't you die?' then you started screaming about a vampire and in the end I had to slap you round the face."
So thats what had hit my cheek, Franks hand.
"I...just had a nightmare thats all" I replied, I didn't want to tell him what I had really been dreaming.
"Fair enough...." Frank looked at me as if I was a mental person.
"Hey...aren't you ill?" I asked. Frank grinned.
"Well, I'm better now, isn't that cool!? My immune system has decided to work for once!" He took a sip of coffee.
"Is everyone else up?" I asked. Frank nodded.
"Yeah, Mikey was the last one up, I think you woke him actually. Talking about coffee. So he was telling us about it when you started yelling no...want some coffee?" Frank shoved his cup in my face, causing me to go momentarily cross eyed as I looked at it.
"Err...no thanks" I said. Frank shrugged and drank some more.
"What ever man." He turned and walked off. I straightened up my bed and got changed. Then I walked off to see what was happening.
"This war is crazy I wont let you down. Oh no no...Noooo, I won't let them take you, wont let them take you, hell no no, nooo woh. Wont let them take you, wont let them take you..." Mikey was singing along to his ipod...he must be listening to 'Say anything - alive with the glory of love'. We all like that song, and Mikey isn't too bad at singing, so none of us bothered to point out that he was singing, because he probably wasn't aware of it. He was also playing on his Nintendo DS.
Frank was drinking his coffee and watching the TV. Gerard was listening to his ipod and sketching. Ray was in the kitchen, making some strange monstrosity that I think was meant to be a sandwich...
"Ray, what the hell is that?" I asked. Ray smiled at me.
"Its a chicken, cheese, tomato, lettuce, ham, smokey bacon walkers crisps and mustard sandwich." He replied. I wrinkled up my nose.
"Gross...who's commiting suicide then?" I asked. Ray looked confused.
"Suicide?" He repeated.
"Yeah, if you eat that then you'll probably die. I just want to know who's killing them self so I can say goodbye" Ray punched my arm.
"This sandwich is one of - no! THE greatest sandwich in this entire world! You should be bowing down and kissing my feet for inventing it!" He said.
"Wow, talk about modest! And stupid." I replied, he glared at me, grabbed the...thing...and took a bite.
"Mmmmm, heaven in the form of food!" He said with his mouth full.
"Thats food?" I asked, he ignored me and walked over to the sofa and sat next to Gerard, who looked at the thing on the plate, he didn't even bother asking what it was before returning to his drawing.
"Ray, what in gods name are you eating?" Asked Mikey.
"Chicken, cheese, tomato, lettuce, ham, smokey bacon walkers crisps and mustard sandwich" He said. Everyone looked at him.
"What?" Mikey replied.
"I can difine that thing in one word! - Eugh" Said Frank.
"And I thought I was wierd." Mumbled Gerard, more to himself than to Ray. Ray looked hurt.
"Its actually really nice, you should try it before you judge it! Come on, have a bite!" He said. Frank shot to the other end of the room.
"I'm not even going to touch that thing!" He cried.
"Well, I'll let Frank off since he's vegetarian...but the rest of you have to try it!" Said Ray.
"I'm not eating that!" Cried Mikey.
"Go on Mikey I dare you!" Said Gerard. Mikey looked shocked at Gerard.
"NO WAY!" He cried.
"I bet you £10 that Mikey won't take a bite" I said to Gerard.
"DEAL!" Cried Gerard shaking my hand.
"What! That isn't fair!" Said Mikey.
"Who cares, its a bet now, and un - less you want me to ram your head through a mincer to make a burger to force feed to Frank, you better take a bite out of that sandwich!" Gerard replied, Mikey and Frank both looked sick.
"Mikey if you don't eat some of that thing then I will rip your eye balls out your head!" Said Frank.
"Aaaaw, don't let them force you to do what you don't want to" I said. Mikey looked at me, then Gerard, then at the sandwich, then back at me.
"Well..." Mikey picked up the sandwich. "Don't we usually say we never judge people un - less we've actually talked to them and know them?...like, you never judge a book by its cover...well, maybe we should have the same attitude towards sanwiches." Gerard nodded his head.
"Thats right bro, now take a bite!" He said.
"Yeah go on Mikey!" Ray encouraged him. Mikey was slightly pale, but slowly he raised the sandwich to his mouth and slowly...very slowly, he took a bite.
We all stared at him as he screwed up his eyes and began to chew. Ray was grinning, Frank had gone green and Gerard was looking very curious. Mikey swallowed and opened his eyes.
"Well?" Asked Ray.
"It was...strange...I've never tasted anything like it." Said Mikey.
"Was it nice?" Asked Gerard. Slowly Mikey nodded.
"Yeah...I guess it was..." He said. Ray gave a triumphant cry.
"What did I tell you!" He laughed.
"Yeah yeah yeah, and by the way Bob, I won the bet, pay up" Gee ordered. Scowling I took £10 out of my pocket and gave it to Gerard.
"Pleasure doing business with you!" He laughed. Suddenly the bus stopped.
"YOU GOT 20 MINUTES TILL WE SET OFF AGAIN!" Called the driver. Another truck stop, just for fuel and for us to use the loos and go in the road side shop.
Frank and Gerard were straight out the door, eager for more ciggarettes. Mikey followed, probably to ring Alicia and to buy some chewing gum. I decided I would use this oportunity to go speak to Joyce.

Oh yeah, the Phillies never lose. Thanks.
The notion that the Florida Marlins are going to win the NL East this season is a little tough to swallow. Nonetheless, the Phils and Fish started the second half with a big four-game set that could have ended with the teams tied atop the NL East or the Phillies up by as many as eight games. They only managed to play three, but the results were pretty dramatic as the Phils swept the Marlins away in the three games they played.
The Phillies have started the second half on the same roll they ended the first. The starting pitching has been outstanding all month and the 12-3 July has the Phils at thirteen games over .500 for the first time on the season.
The Phillies are 51-38 on the year. They have won eight in a row and 12 of 13. They are in first place in the NL East. The Braves are in second place and trail the Phils by 6 1/2 games. The Fish are seven back and the Mets nine.
In game one the Phillies rode a brilliant start by Moyer to a 4-0 win. Moyer, Madson and Romero combined to throw a one-hit shutout and the Phillies scored four runs on three homers, two from Ibanez and one from Howard. Howard's home run was the 200th of his career and he became the fastest player to 200 in major league history.
The Phils won game two 6-5 in twelve innings. Hamels got the start and allowed a run over five innings before being forced from the game by a long rain delay in the sixth. Thanks to a two-run homer from Utley in the first and a pair of runs in the top of the fourth the Phils took a 4-1 lead into the delay. The Marlins scored a run off of Park in the bottom of the sixth to make it 4-2. Madson, Romero and Durbin combined to allow a pair of runs in the eighth. Madson started the inning and was charged with both runs, but allowed just two singles and got two outs. Romero walked the only man he faced. Durbin was next and he allowed an RBI-single that tied the game at 4-4 and a walk before ending the inning with a strikeout. The Phils went up 6-4 with two in the twelfth, scoring runs on RBI-singles from Utley and Werth. Lidge struggled again in the bottom of the inning. He got the first out before walking the next two hitters. The Marlins bunted the runners to second and third before Ronny Paulino scored on a wild pitch from Lidge. With two outs and a man on third, Lidge got Dan Uggla to ground to second to end the game.
Game three was rained out with the Phils down 2-0 in the second.
Happ made another fantastic start in game four, which the Phillies won 5-0. Rollins went 3-for-5 and Ibanez drove in two runs. Happ went seven shutout innings and the pen threw the last two.
The Phillies got great pitching in the series. Over 30 innings they threw to a 1.50 ERA with a 1.00 ratio. They gave up just 21 hits in 30 innings and allowed just one home run (Coghlan off of Hamels in game two).
The starting pitching was very good. Blanton struggled in the game that was rained out. In the three games that counted, Hamels, Moyer and Happ combined to allow one run over 19 innings — the home run off of Hamels in the first inning of game two. 0.47 ERA with an 0.68 ratio. Ten hits and three walks over 19.
Moyer was awesome in game one. He allowed a single and a walk over seven innings and struck out four. He hasn't walked more than one hitter in a start in any of his last three outings.
Hamels went five innings in game two, allowing a run on three singles, a walk and a home run. He hasn't thrown 100 pitches in a start in any of his last four outings.
Happ pitched game four and allowed five hits and a walk over seven shutout innings to lower his ERA on the year to 2.68. He has a 1.46 ERA in his last five starts.
The bullpen wasn't quite as good as the starting pitching in the series. They went 11 innings, throwing to a 3.55 ERA with a 1.55 ratio. Too many walks — they walked six in 11 frames. They allowed four runs in the set, all of which they gave up in came two and were charged to Park, Madson and Lidge.
Romero threw a 1-2-3 ninth in game one to preserve the one-hit shutout.
He entered the eighth inning of game two with two outs, a man on first and the Phillies up 4-3 to face Jeremy Hermida. He walked Hermida to put men on first and second with two down. Durbin came in to pitch to the righty Wes Helms.
He also pitched yesterday. He entered in the bottom of the eighth with two outs, men on first and third and the Phils up 4-0 to face lefty Ross Gload. Gload flew to right to end the inning.
After walking 12 in 12 appearances in June, Romero has walked just one over eight appearances (just 4 1/3 innings) in July.
Eyre pitched the tenth inning of game two with the scored tied at 4-4. He allowed a two-out walk but struck out the next hitter to end the inning.
He also started the ninth inning yesterday. He allowed a one-out single before getting lefty Jeremy Hermida to fly to center for the second out. Lidge came on to pitch to righty Hanley Ramirez with two outs and a man on first.
He's been charged with one run, which was unearned, in his last 21 appearances.
Durbin came into game two in the bottom of the eighth with two outs, men on first and second and the Phillies up 4-3 to pitch to Helms. Helms delivered an RBI-single to left, tying the game at 4-4. Durbin walked the next hitter, putting men on first and second with two down, but struck out lefty Chris Coghlan to leave two men on. Durbin presumably pitched to Coghlan instead of Eyre so he could come back and pitch the ninth. He did. He allowed the first two men to reach on a hit and a walk, but got the next three to keep Florida off the board.
We should all be a little worried about Durbin. The Phillies could really use him, especially with Madson pitching so much. Again, very surprised to see Walker designated for assignment.
Park started the sixth inning of game two with a 4-1 lead. He set the Marlins down 1-2-3. He came back to start the seventh and gave up a leadoff double to Paulino. Paulino came around to score on a single by Ross Gload to cut the Phillies lead to 4-2. Park allowed another single in the inning but got Emilio Bonifacio bunting to third with two outs and two men on to end the inning.
Condrey took Tyler Walker's roster spot on Friday. Walker was designated for assignment in a move that surprised me. Condrey pitched the eleventh inning of game two with the score tied at 4-4. He allowed a one-out single, but got Jorge Cantu to hit into a double-play to end the inning.
Madson pitched the eighth inning of game one with a 4-0 lead and set the Marlins down in order.
He also started the eighth in game two with a 4-2 lead. He allowed a leadoff single to Hanley Ramirez but got the next two. It put Ramirez on second with two outs for Paulino and Paulino singled into center to score Ramirez and make it 4-3. Romero came in to pitch to the lefty Jeremy Hermida.
Yesterday Madson also started the eighth, this time with a 4-0 lead. He got the first out before allowing back-to-back singles that put men on first and third. Paulino lined to Feliz at third for the second out and Romero came in to pitch to the lefty Ross Gload.
Interesting series for Madson. He pitched all three games and is on pace to pitch in 87 games this year after making 76 appearances last year. Twice he started the eighth with the Phillies up four runs. In two different games he started the eighth but didn't finish it and was removed so Romero could face a lefty.
Lidge started the twelfth inning of game two with a 6-4 lead. The Marlins scored a run on two walks and a wild pitch, cutting the lead to 6-5. With two outs and a man on third, Lidge got Uggla to ground to Utley to end the game. Not a pretty outing for Lidge, who got a gift when pitcher Chris Volstad bunted runners to second and third with the second out of the inning.
He came into yesterday's game with two outs and a man on first to face Ramirez. Ramirez popped to short to end the game.
Lidge is still pretty scary if you're a Phillies fan.
Madson and Romero pitched for the Phillies in each of the three games in the series. The rainout on Saturday means that they have not pitched three days in a row. Madson threw 20 pitches yesterday and Eyre 21. It would be nice to see some games where the Phillies pen pitches well and Madson gets the day off.
The Phillies scored 15 run in the three-game series.
Rollins was 6-for-16 with two doubles and a triple in the series. He made an ugly base-running play yesterday. After he led off the game with a triple he was thrown out when Victorino followed and chopped a ball to third base. That's an awful play with nobody out. He's hitting 236/290/367 on the year. 377/472/590 in July.
Victorino was 2-for-11 with two walks in the series. 306/374/456 for the year. All three of those would be career-highs for him (unless you want to count the 17 at-bats he had in 2005 when he slugged .647. You don't).
Utley was 4-for-14 with a double, a home run and four RBI. 312/427/573 on the season. Just one walk in his last 39 at-bats.
Howard hit his 200th career home run in game one. He didn't start yesterday with Bruntlett playing first base. 4-for-9 with a home run in the series. 262/347/535 for the year.
Ibanez socked a pair of homers in game one to start the second half off with a bang. 5-for-10 with a double, two homers and five RBI. He also walked twice. 316/375/669 on the year. If he slugs .669 all season long it would be a career high.
Werth was 3-for-13 with two walks. 262/370/502. He's hitting just .229 in July but on-basing .409 thanks to 15 walks. He has also hit five home runs this month.
Feliz had a pretty awful game yesterday. He went 0-for-4 with a walk, two errors and left seven men on base. He was 2-for-13 with two walks in the series. 287/335/410 for the season.
Ruiz caught all three games in the series. 1-for-11 with a double and two walks. He's hitting .138 in July after hitting .174 in June.
Bako did not play in the series.
Bruntlett started yesterday's game at first base, which should never happen. I really like the idea of giving Howard a day off and I think it's understandable to hope you can get Bruntlett out of his year-long funk with the bat. The team needs a better option, though. Mayberry in left against the lefty and Ibanez at first? Ibanez has made 135 career appearances at first. The most recent was in 2005. He started 45 games at first for the Royals in 2002. Bruntlett was 0-for-4 with a stolen base in the series. If you have any children in the room you may want to remove them — his line for the year is 132/207/197.
Mayberry was 0-for-2 in the series and is hitting 176/222/451 for the year. He's 0-for-13 in July.
Dobbs was 1-for-2 in the series and is hitting 273/314/464 for the year.
Stairs was 0-for-1 in the set. 279/436/508. 1-for-7 in July.
I don't really understand designating Walker for assignment. He wasn't really as good as his 1.64 ERA with the Phillies, but he was pretty good. A 1.00 ratio is kind of hard to argue with.

Drive Traffic to Your Site through User-generated Content
If you are looking for effective ways to build quality content on your website without having to do all the work, then you can benefit from the following tips. Websites that are driven by user-generated content are often managed by a handful of administrators who just moderate the content. User-generated content can be in many formats, including text, images and videos. The prime examples of successful sites that are fueled by user-generated content are YouTube, Wikipedia and Flickr.
After setting up a stable infrastructure for the website, all one needs to do is moderate the content to ensure that only relevant content is being posted on the site....
While most businesses are now optimizing their web pages to show up higher in search engine results, many sites have not yet fully tapped into the potential of SEO for images. If you are featuring pictures on your site that can be of value to your readers, then be sure to optimize them for all major search engines. Not only can the following SEO techniques help search engines find and index your pictures properly, but they can also bring you additional visibility and traffic.
Alt attribute: Web crawlers read the alt attribute within the HTML image tags to categorize and index images. An alt attribute describes the image and should include all the important keywords relevant...
There is hardly anything that cannot be achieved when people collaborate on the Internet with a common purpose. The prime example of the potential of online collaboration is perhaps Wikipedia. It would never have come into being had people not contributed content to it voluntarily.
Many other types of websites and team projects also depend on an online team of volunteers to work with them as their primary staff. For example, programmers from across the globe come together to develop free software, operating systems, and applications like Linux and OpenOffice. The following are some of the popular tools and platforms that facilitate content-based online collaboration:
Getting your key pages indexed on major search engines is extremely important for gaining visibility and traffic. Search engines send their crawlers regularly across the web to find new websites and pages. However, sometimes it takes time for search engines to find pages on their own, which is why they allow manual submission of website URLs.
But submitting your site to a search engine for indexing does not guarantee that it will be included in the search results. Most search engines do not inform webmasters if and when their pages will be indexed. Here are some useful tips for ensuring that all of your important pages are crawled and picked up by search engine bots quickly:
If you are looking to promote your products, services or brand on the web, then be sure to explore the various advertising platforms available online before making a decision. One company's advertising campaign might not be suitable for another as all businesses have their own marketing needs and budget limitations. Here are some of the popular online advertising platforms that can be used for most types of marketing strategies:
By placing advertisements as hyperlinks within the text of web pages, in-text advertising campaigns can improve the chances of getting more ad clicks and leads. It is one of the most effective forms of pay per click advertising that enables companies to target specific keywords while taking into account the context of the website.
Why is in-text advertising more effective than others forms of contextual advertising?
In most advertising schemes, the ads are displayed in a separate section on the web page, which means that users are less likely to read the ads and click on them. On the other hand, in-text advertising places ads within the text of the article itself, so the readers are...

With so many options available on the Internet, people often stumble into unethical practices that can harm their marketing campaign in the long run.
Here are some of the most common pitfalls and bad practices that should be avoided while pursuing the avenues of Internet marketing:
Spamming can ruin your brand image:

Search engine ranking is the position your website shows up in the search results against a particular keyword or phrase.

While there is no easy and quick method to earn a high rank on search engines, you can gradually climb to the top results by following a few simple SEO guidelines.
Twitter is an ideal social media tool for companies that are looking to interact with their customers at a personal level. Not only does Twitter provide an efficient way to promote your products, services and special offers, but you can also use it to enhance your brand image.
In many ways Twitter is better mass communication channel than Facebook.

While most people don't give much thought to the communication that takes place on social media websites, a rude or inappropriate conversation can ruin a company's reputation. By following a few simple rules, you can win the hearts of your customers and promote your brand without facing any uncomfortable situations.
What is conversion rate and how is it calculated?
Conversion rate is one of the key measures of any e-commerce website's success. It is the ratio of users who pursue your call to action to the total number of visits. For example, if you want visitors to register on your social network, and 10 out of every 25 users sign up, then your website's current conversion rate is 2/5. Whether you are marketing a product or are looking for new users to join your social networking portal, you can gauge the progress of your campaign by monitoring its conversion rate.
How can companies improve their conversion rate?

Getting your press releases to rank high on search engines can do wonders for your business. Not only does it improve the image of your brand but it also helps direct more traffic towards your website. From an SEO point of view, a press release should be at least 250 words long. Web pages with content of this length or longer get indexed quickly by search engines. Almost all search engines give preference to new content, so make sure the text in your press release is fresh and original. By search engine optimizing your press releases, you can also rank high on news websites such as Yahoo News, AOL and Google News.
What are keywords and how can companies use them to make their websites more visible on search engines?
By finding popular words and phrases related to your business, you can optimize your website and press releases for all major search engines. Keywords play a pivotal role in bringing traffic and visibility to web pages. An ideal keyword funnels a lot of traffic but faces very little competition in terms of how many other websites are targeting it. The keywords that are frequently used in the first 250 words of a page help search engines determine what it's about.
After you have shortlisted a set of keywords, you can also use them as your website's meta-keyword tags,...
While some search engines allow companies to have paid-links listed among organic search results, Google only features them in the Ads section. However, search engine advertising campaigns can be extremely effective when executed properly.
Who can benefit from search engine advertising?
If you have recently launched a website, then you are probably using long tail keywords on your website to quickly rank high on search engines. But this also means that you will be missing out on all the lucrative, high competition keywords that can bring in a lot of clients. Search engine advertising enables you to target customers who are searching for such high value keywords. Most businesses use the pay per click advertisement model...

A sexual act where a male visits a female's home, receives oral sex, and after climaxing, strikes her twice, once in each eye. He then immediately runs out of her house by way of the kitchen, where he knocks over her garbage can.
"I totally racooned Carla yesterday! I bet that black-eyed bitch had to spend an hour cleaning the kitchen after I left."

The act foraging for food late at night in your own kitchen while under the influence of marijuana. One must sneak about their kitchen searching for munchies while trying not to wake up others who are sleeping, such as parents, spouses or any other person that would not appreciate you waking them up as you search for food. One must look for food as quietly as possible by the light of an open refrigerator.
I woke my wife up last night when I was racooning. I accidentally slammed the microwave door after pulling out a really hot mini pizza.

Message from President Yeigh
To: SUNYIT Community
From: Wolf Yeigh, President
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families in Boston during this time of reflection on the week's events there. We extend sympathy not only to those directly affected by this tragedy, but to family, friends and colleagues with connections to Boston and the running community.
While we struggle to find meaning in this tragedy, let us also take time to reexamine our own community—to ensure that we are both aware and prepared. As an academic institution, we will look at society's safety and security issues broadly during our conference here in mid-May.
Closer to home, our campus is, as many of you know, a model of safety for those who learn and work here. Even so, an incident involving an active shooter happened here just a few years ago. As we've learned all too well in recent years, these things can happen anywhere. So it is a good time for all of us—especially faculty and staff—to revisit our own emergency planning, so that our level of preparedness is appropriate.

MERRILLVILLE | A Carol Stream, Ill., man believed responsible for a string of at least 17 bank robberies, including ones in Hammond, has been arrested by Elgin, Ill., police in connection with his latest heist, the FBI announced.
Jeremy Evans, dubbed the "Ray Bandit" because of his practice of wearing Ray Ban style sunglasses while committing the robberies, was arrested Jan. 15 after allegedly robbing the Old Second National Bank in Elgin. Employees reported the robbery to police about 9:15 a.m. after an armed man came in and demanded money.
A vehicle matching the description of the getaway car was spotted by police a short time later, and Evans was arrested. The subsequent investigation revealed his potential involvement in a bank-robbery spree that began July 30, 2012, in Salem, Wis. On Aug. 8, he is believed to have been involved in an attempted robbery at the TCF Bank in Munster, and a robbery at the Fifth Third Bank in Hammond.
The FBI said Evans also is believed to have robbed banks in Moline, Ill., Janesville, Wis., Collinsville, Ill., and Edwardsville., Ill., in August. In September, he allegedly robbed banks in Bettendorf, Iowa, and Milan, Ill., before heading west, hitting banks in Omaha, Neb., and in California.
Evans is then believed to have crossed the country to hit two banks in Virginia. The FBI said Evans wore disguises, such as a beard and black or blond hair, along with a hat of some type. He often drove a Hyundai Elantra but was arrested in a Toyota Camry. Police are contacting car rental companies about his use of cars.
In the earlier robberies he passed a note saying he had a gun and demanded money. In the California robberies, the FBI said he told the bank employees he had a bomb and in the Elgin robbery a gun was displayed.
A total of about $75,000 was taken in the 17 robberies spread over seven states, and police are investigating his possible involvement in other bank robberies. Evans is being held without bond in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago pending the filing of charges.

Coca-Cola Co Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (KO)
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Get trading ideas for stocks under $10 for less than $6/week. Start with a 14-Day Free Trial.
- KO's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 3.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 0.8%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- The stock has risen over the past year as investors have generally rewarded the company for its earnings growth and other positive factors like the ones we have cited in this report. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- The gross profit margin for COCA-COLA CO is rather high; currently it is at 64.80%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 18.70% is above that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $3,662.00 million or 15.95% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of -1.57%.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- There are new claims that the wandering hands of former state Rep. John Arnold were not confined to state capitol staffers.
The latest discovery filed in sexual harassment lawsuit against Arnold charges that the former state representative from Sturgis inappropriately groped one of his fellow legislators, Rep. Sannie Overly.
The suit was filed in October by capitol employees Yolanda Costner and Cassaundra Cooper. They charge that Arnold repeatedly grabbed and groped them.
In the new court documents, Costner now also claims that Arnold inappropriately touched state Rep. Overly, a Democrat from Paris.
In an interview, Costner told WDRB that one alleged incident occurred as Overly was running for chair of the Democratic Majority Caucus.
"Rep. John Arnold came in and rubbed the skirt, the thigh of Rep. Sannie Overly and said to her, 'If you keep shortening your skirts any shorter, then you'll make a good caucus chairman, you will be caucus chairman,' something to that effect."
Costner claims a second incident occurred on the House floor when Arnold went too far and Overly reacted.
"And she said she took a book and slammed it on his head because he was behind her, rubbing her shoulders, reaching down a little bit further than she was comfortable," said Costner.
Tom Clay, the attorney for Costner and Cooper, said there were of number of witnesses to the alleged incidents.
"I think there were concerns or complaints raised about what he had done. And again it was a situation where these complaints basically went unanswered. Nothing was done," he said.
Overly herself has not filed a complaint.
All this comes days after the special committee investigating Arnold disbanded without taking action. The Democratic majority decided the committee did not have jurisdiction because Arnold had resigned.
But Republican member Julie Adams of Louisville said these new allegations show the committee's work should have continued.
"I think that's there's a break in the public in the public trust. I think it's our responsibility to police ourselves, and what it's saying is we don't have the ability to police ourselves," she said.
Overly now serves the House Majority Caucus chair. She has not returned a call to her office seeking comment.
House Speaker Greg Stumbo has insisted on numerous occasions that the House leadership responded appropriately after learning of the harassment charges.
Arnold has denied any wrongdoing.

I just love your images. The colors are soothing. Years ago, when my husband and I built our home, we would laugh at ourselves as our trim always seemed to be some shade of taupe or "greige"
Looking forward to watching the final decisions play out.
