See what's new for the 2014 Players Championship

More than $1 million has been invested in TPC Sawgrass to improve the fan experience at The Players Championship — for the second year in the row.
"As great as the greatest stadium in golf is, we've made significant improvements to the viewing experience," said Matt Rapp, executive director of the tournament.
The upgrades are part of a multiyear, multimillion-dollar initiative of the PGA Tour to make the tournament the Tour's fan experience showcase, as the Business Journal reported in 2013.
"As great as it is, we're only scratching the surface," Rapp said. "If we could get the entire city behind this event, as some areas are behind their events, there's no telling how far this thing could go."
Rapp said his sales team deliberately limited promotions for discounted tickets, because the full-price ground tickets are a "true bargain at this point," given the number of improvements to the course.
"We haven't raised ticket prickets, we just aren't promoting the discounted ones as heavily," Rapp said.
The following upgrades and improvements are new for the 2014 tournament, slated for May 6-11:
- The Golfer's Paradise venue on the Turn will feature what Rapp described as "equivalent to six 40-inch TVs" to show every feed from around the golf course — a measure aimed at making the on-course experience better than watching at home on TV.
- New to the Turn is the Blue Room VIP Lounge, a separate venue that aims to capture the millennial demographic and less golf-centric patrons. It will have themed days and specialty food from local restaurants. It is accessible with a VIP ticket.
- The Benefactor, an upscale hospitality venue behind the 17th tee, is completely new this year, from the exterior structure to the interior.

Have been a longtime follower and avid reader for several years. I enjoy the opinions and ongoing research. Being in Kentucky I was wondering if there was anyone else in the Commonwealth who reads the Board. My experience was years ago in Virginia but have always wanted to do some field work. Anyone out there? Thanks again for being a place to stay informed.
Welcome...by Monster Hunter
I'm sure there are some forum members or readers that live in your area... Hopefully one will answer your post..
Wasn't it you that liked the Piebald deer pics? Man they're pretty
Nice...by Monster Hunter
Those deer are really neat looking...no way I could put an arrow in one if those..getting soft in my old age...
Are they breeding with Fallo Deer?
those are Piebald Whitetails.
That pretty well covers all our large game animals Timber...by Monster Hunter
Hog, nice racked deer and a large bear...The last three the bucks and the bear hear the camera, see the IR flash or both...BTW...one of our bow hunters saw a cougar at MC last Tuesday...I've seen a few large cat tracks and a few trees marked over the years but haven't see the cat...the hunter said the cat looked like it could weigh close to 200 pounds... that's big cat...
Nice pictures and thanks for sharing...
To get one of our big black cats on camera for several years now... No luck yet
I coulsd jump up and down in fron of it and it wouldn't even snap a pic but I ran across some home brews so I'm picking one up friday. Dang good picshttp://www.bullnettlenews.com/forum/yaf_postst50338_Homebrew-Trail-Cameras--At-Cost.aspx
your wife claimed? lol Those are some nice ones. You can keep the bear though
Crow? Killed in Mississippi
That's a first for me...by Monster Hunter
White crow...absolutely beautiful...some bird watcher some where just soiled his pants..
Hey Guys! and Gals! I am on a diving vessel own by a french company doing work in the Gulf of Mexico, and I meet a fellow Bigfoot enthusiast! He was telling me about Todd Standing and his videos on the internet. I saw the photos and the video of his Sylvanic project, and I am not convinced it's legit. What do you guys think about Todd Standing's work?
Looks hoaxed IMO...by Monster Hunter
I haven't seen anything like that but maybe he has a different batch of critters then we have ...I guess that's possible...of course in this community anything goes...
Those "critters" looked like they get regular haircuts!!
I cal BS. Only thing I think is kewl is that Survivor man Les stroud is out with him right now looking for Bigfoot. Les has had 2 encounter over the years. Always liked him
Just think scarecrow form the Wizard of Oz crossed with Chewbacca from Star Wars.
Ridiculous at best.............
I think the footage in the Erickson Project is BS but atleast bigfoots in the news. LOTS of TV stations are covering it this go around. Here's just one of them http://www.wkyt.com/news/headlines/Ky-researchers-say-thousands-of-Big-foot-creatures-can-be-found-here-226210721.html?ref=721
You would think or at least I do...by Monster Hunter
Spending 500'000 dollars in a state claimed to have thousands of Monsters they would have exclusive video and pictures... But if what I have seen they've wasted quite a bit of money and time....
Something else that kind of causes a burr under my saddle... This DNA claim...Ketchum claims she has it... Others say hog wash...I've never seen a Monster that looked human and in the above report they say bipedal but quadruped wasn't mentioned...tell the whole story makes it believable... Half axx makes me think you may not be telling the truth..,
if there isn't a text but only a title in a post, you include "N/T" (no text) in the title, not the text. That way folks know not to click on the title cause there's nothing to read. If you put "N/T" in the body of the message, it defeats the purpose. There! Class dismissed.
While I appreciate the information you shared with ME about the proper placement of n/t, I did NOT necessarily appreciate your tone in delivering said lesson. Please have a little respect for an older lady (I'm 67) who did NOT know the meaning of n/t until a few years ago.
The fact that I am as computer savvy as I am at my age is a miracle because my husband, who's younger, IS not.
Here ends my griping.
I was thinking the same thing. For half a million $ looks like he didn't get his money's worth by looking at the lame pics and video they put up. Hell, you have better pics than that from a damn throw away camera!
someone were to give us a 1/2 a million bucks, we'd have some dang good footage of one of these creatures. That and one dead in the Ice Box as well.
Actually someone did give our group a half million dollars...but for some reason and I can't remember why...I forgot to tell you guys!
P.S. Weather fine down here in Cancun
I'm signed up for Google alerts on any tpoic that has bigfoot in it and I've been getting land blasted with alerts the last 2 days. LOTS of TV networks talking about it. Of course the internet bozos are out in full force talking about the forest people. LOL
. . . there are well-funded, media savvy organizations that on occasion conduct "disinformation" campaigns regarding bigfoot? It seems to me that much of what makes "news" is an attempt to discredit the idea these things exist as well as the people looking for proof.
I really don't think its intentional disinformation campaign as much...by Monster Hunter
as it is the folks who get involved want people to think they are on the cutting edge of discovery...to get the necessary coverage they go to the media with unproven claims...BFRO...elk cast...Biscardi...anything BF he is involved in...Georgia boys...rubber BF in a freezer and still one of the morons is still hoaxing...the taxi cab driver in Florida...there's more that need the media attention making claims they cannot support with evidence...habitation Bigfooters that have families of Monsters living outside their homes and they feed them peanuts by hand...the Internet has been an excellent tool for our community however the rats sneak in from time to time...
Below is disinformation or something...by Monster Hunter
The Erickson Project - Canadians solve Sasquatch mystery
Hype, BS and a lot of money for nothing IMHO...by Monster Hunter
The Erickson Project Documentary Trailer
As soon as something happens that is POSSIBLY legitimate, folks clam up hoping that they have the"moneyshot" or information that they think is going to make them famous(Melba perhaps?) Then we are left scratching our heads wondering why folks just can't be honest, it is such a simple concept but one that we see only rarely unfortunately. Our hobby seems to bring out the worst in some.
No substance
You are not alone. It seems like it at times. I believe that if we knew what really went on behind the scenes insofar as what gets media attention and what doesn't that it would surprise and anger us. But it really doesn't have to be some kind of conspiracy-bigfoot causes people to roll their eyes and snicker anyway, just ask my wife. She thinks that I have lost my mind.
And is this something else we may blame on either the current administration or his friends, the Illuminati? LOL
. . . there was a disinformation campaign was our ole friend, the late E.B. A long-running, quasi-comic, bigfoot sideshow with mysterious funding that achieved nothing, unless you consider causing rancor within the bf community an achievement. (Man, he was busy!) Perhaps that was his mission.
gig on Saturday and then I'm heading in to the moose camp for a week. We have a bull tag and it's gonna be great to spend time with the boys, dogs, hunt partridge and watch for that big bull. It's the bow hunt. I like the rifle hunt better but we can't get a darn tag during that season. It's all good though!
Good luck T...by Monster Hunter
Have fun, enjoy your stay and hope you stick an arrow in the bull...
The neat thing about the bow season is it's the rut! You can call the bulls right to you if they're in the mood. I've had them right under my tee stand when we didn't have a bull tag so this year I'm hoping that happens again! Oh, I'll watch for your bf sign too! I'm right against Algonquin Park and there have been some sightings there although I do consider them hoaxed. lol Never the less, one never knows.
I shared a link from a hunter that has a TV show and he has a picture from a video he took of a large animal. He said it was pushing 9 feet tall and ran bipedally. He'll release the video sometime soon. I can't tell much on my phone at all what's in the pic, just a black blob. If I could post the link I would but I don't know how with my phone. BTW, I've already contacted him and letting him know that I was a member of the GCBRO and if he needed any help with the video, we'd love to give it to him
What's ur facebook page link..or username and I'll look u up

Headed to Fouke...by Monster Hunter
Come see us if you can...
Just got done priming the walls in one of the spare bedrooms and have a good friends 55 bday party up go to.
Had a good time in Fouke...by Monster Hunter
GCBRO was well represented with members of our organization plus many fine folks I haven't seen in a while...seemed like everyone enjoyed themselves and we met some interesting people including one man who if he can do what he claims...mystery over...
It was good to see all my old partners , their families and friends...God has blessed me with good friends...
I think a grey fox but kinda looks odd to me. Tail and body are off abit and it appears to be a very large one if it's a fox. I found this on an outdoor forum from Mississippi and came off someones Trail Cam.
Maybe...a Ringtail Cat...by Monster Hunter
I've seen a few over the years but what I've seen is about the size of its cousin the coon...it really looks too big to be a ringtail cat though...
with Jim on this one. It looks too big but it could be misleading and it's closer to the camera. They eat vegetarian stuff too so it could be after deer feed left by the camera guy. Really nothing else it could be!?!
thought of...a coatimundi? but if so, sure is a big one! Odd looking head.
Whatever it is; the deer doesn't seem to concerned with it.
It does seem they get along...by Monster Hunter
Must have a corn feeder or some type of feed for them both to be there with their heads down eating...
on a feeder with a mineral block as well.
It looks like the animal that got chased out of a friends garage by their very large dog. My friend Lexy took a photo of it and it ran around the side of her house and into a field and safety.
I had never seen an animal like it in Katy, TX; although new neighborhoods are having coyote and javelinas/wild pigs invade.
Not a stretch of the imagination at all to believe this is a Jaguarundi. Their natural range extends to parts of Texas. Considered endangered so sightings, even camera shots, are few and far between.
I had heard of them before but never even seen a picture. I found one online
according to the newspaper. It was in the Enterprise journal this past Sunday according to the guy tha posted the picture. I don;t have a subscription to the paper but you can see the headline of it. SUPPOSIDLY taken south of McComb Ms.
looks pretty much dead on there.
It's kinda odd that a deer would graze near any cat larger than a house cat!
It looks just like a Jaguarundi. They are very very very rare and the only place I know people see these are in south Texas and Mexio. The head is the give away. Thanks
I wonder how they would be as a pet....I love big cats...
A while back I was watching a documentry about Texas native animals.The narator starting about the jaugerudi.He said that these do make good pets if you can get them when they are young.He went on to say that the early Indians used to keep them around their camps to control rats...
Oh wow too coollll
The color looks like a cougar. Especially, the tail and muzzle. The shape of the body looks weird though. However, that could be due to camera angle, shadow, etc.
That specializes in wild cats and they verified it to be. Jaguarundi. One if their members raises them in Florida and he said the animal in the picture was one for sure. Never really know where the pic was taken, folks lie a lot but they said near McComb Ms. Neat anyhow
Hello to everyone on the GCBRO message board, My name is Barb. Long time occasional viewer of this forum, posted many moons ago, but have had nothing to input, so I visit to see what if anything is new as far as research. Most of you probably won't remember me. Just like it here, bookmarked for years. I am a Mother of two sons and a wife of 25 years. My husband is a Master Sergeant in the Air National Guard and has served since 1980. We are average Patriotic Americans.
I have had a lifelong interest in the subject of Bigfoot. I believe I came in close contact with two of them when I was about 10-11 years old. Was called crazy, and told I was seeing things, etc. I'm 46 now. But needless to say it's not been too far from my mind ever since then. I do a lot of YouTube-ing for all sorts of reasons. Recipes, cooking videos, instructional, but ever looking for honest researchers with real info and perhaps actual footage. Among others, I follow a guy named Timbergiantbigfoot, I'm sure some of you are familiar. He's out of Canada. Spends a lot of time researching. He just posted a video in the last 24 that's very interesting IMHO, and actual footage is a couple minutes long. Hope you'll check it out. It's called The Giant Revealed.
I hope this finds you all well,
Some things that stood out which gave me reason to pause:
His walking is fairly loud.
Narrating as he moves through the woods, even stopping once to do a face-on
shot when apparently close to the creature.
On a lighter side he's wearing Crocs while stomping through the woods?! Really?
This goes against everything I've heard / read about these creatures which is they display hyper-acute senses, even though in this video the creature is using stones to crack nuts it isn't a constant noise so why didn't it hear this guy moving up behind it?
Maybe Canadian Bigfoot are less alert????
I fully admit I don't have the "chops" most of you do when it comes to field research but this film leaves me with some doubts.
@chuck, I've been watching this guy fir years..he's the real deal.been in the same area for years.he has other shots but just not as clear.if you wathch the vid. Before yhis one he talk as about the very same thing you mentioned.he thought the creature knee he was there,he stated that it my have had poor hearing, he was not sure how he was able to come uponit without it leaving or being very still.I personally don't think he faked it.maybe the creature was ok with him being there since he always is in there area.
Oh and if you watch his other vids he usually is on a trail..it is a walking trail where he rides his bicycle,brings his kids,and others use it as well.I use crocs myself when I was working.as a chef,in the gally offshore, when I used to camp...they really are comfotable.I was like y'all tho before I started wearing them daily.I saw my chef and ppl like Mario batali wearing them and was like how the hell do they wear them in the , kitchen, they are basically sandels but they definately are comfy as I said...some pple like shelby stanga go barefoot all the time.i always wonder how he does it.
Very Interesting but IF he's have not taken the camera off the subject when he did the wood knock, we'd know for sure what he saw. Could just be a bear but could be one of these creatures. hard to tell.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLJP-zlmXzE
Looked bear to me...by Monster Hunter
But I watched it on my phone and don't want to watch it again on my computer...once was enough...a man wearing crocs where I stumble around couldn't last long...briars would eat him up...thanks for sharing but I do think he could have done a much better job of videoing...
Watched it again on my computer monitor...by Monster Hunter
Still can't tell you what it is...
Whats the link to the footage?
I think people who follow, respect and believe the researcher are putting more credence in this work. I do the same thing; it's natural. I see "something".
I would still be interested in seeing the unedited version that several people have asked about.
After watching it for the first time, I have to say that I feel like it is a bit sketchy. Maybe it is just me, but if I am ever in the woods videoing, and I come across something like this guy did, I don't believe I would move the camera off of the creature. Especially if I considered myself to be an experienced researcher (which I am not). I am an experienced hunter however, and I know if I was in the woods looking for a monster buck, and spotted him on camera, I would stop in my tracks, not self narrate to avoid creating unnecessary noise, and film the animal until the battery died, the animal moved out of view, or it got too dark to film. Just me I suppose, but these things just seem basic to me. If he is indeed an experienced researcher, I wonder who taught him? 20 years of experience can actually mean 20 years of experience, or it can mean 1 year of experience 20 times. Thanks for sharing, as it was interesting none the less.
Big D
I think that the reason he takes the camera off the whatever, is he mentioned not being able to see it with his eyes as it was 150' away. I think he didn't mean. He was just trying to see if he could get a better look. I watched this guy on and off for a couple of years and I believe him to be honest. He's a little goofy but I chalk that up to be being Canadian. He's never in my eyes, over stated, seems humble and states many times he's not an expert. If he's not then what is? He's been doing it for 17 years and has a method. There are many who sensationalize and over-state in the field and I guess I don't blame them because its seems doing just that can get you a TV show, as long as you are willing to meet the man down at the crossroads.
been following him off and on for about a year. Some have said that he hoaxed something about 5 years ago, but this is only hearsay. I HOPE it is real and would like to believe it is, but there are just so many questions when youtube is involved. All of the editing has raised questions with some fellow researchers.
but we got our old house all fixed up, moved into the new one and finally got a contract signed on our old house. Should be down to owning one home in about 3 weeks. FINALLY.... The house we bought is our dream home BUT it was sold AS IS. Meaning we have to rip out all the wall paper, fix 4 million nail holes and repaint all 3 bedrooms and the kitchen. the living room is already perfect. so we don;t have to touch it thank goodness. Alot of work to do but we don;t have to be in a rush to do it.
All that is stressful! I feel sorry for Nessa. She has had this burden on top of her normal "DonDon Stress".... LOL. :P Congrats to you both.
You are right. That's got to be some stressful stuff living with Don!!!!
Just messing you bud. Good deal man. Maybe you'll have time to hook up with some monster hunters in the woods now!
Ima give you a big ole smooch next time I see you. hehe
Fixin' up the old house - all his house fixin skills are nice and sharp!
Promise ya that. We do have the house dozen skills up to par now. I don't even use painters tape any more

I am planning a weekend excursion to the Marathon Lake area-WMA and the like next weekend. Would anyone be interested in going or meeting me over there? I have all my supplies-tent, etc, camera, the basics. If so, let me know. I am going regardless. Sure was, well, I'm not going to use MM word, but it was quite interesting and I have been chomping at the bit to go every since the last trip.
Try not to get lost this time lmbo. Gonna be a few more weeks for me before I'm able to get back out but it's a coming.
It seems...by Monster Hunter
that as many are interested you would have some one or several that would want to go...but...I have the same problem here...folks talk it but don't walk it...
I realize that we all have schedules and responsibilities that are unique to each of us. It is a great area though and if nothing else, I'll enjoy being out there. The area that Don, his wife and a few others of us were at was very interesting...if I can still find it!
How well I know...by Monster Hunter
Most just can't take a weekend away from their families...but there are those that can but won't...there are so called investigators that will not go to the woods without someone holding their hand... I understand women not going alone but a grown man...that's embarrassing...
DonDon and I hold hands and skip through the woods!!!!
except Bobby was supposed to know that. LOL
about where to go. I can get you an idea. Be careful down there dewd. There are some pot growers down that way and it's almost harvest time. LOL
I'll call you this Friday for some specific directions. Thanks. I don't have any desire to walk up on someone's grow-patch!
been trying to decide on Marathon or Fouke later this month but I think Marathon because I can actually do some looking but I would like to go to the Fouke festival, just not sure the Misses would appreciate 2 weekends in a row of self-indulgence!
Yeah, I deserve that one I guess, although I now have a new GPS! I'm hoping the recent cool weather will still be in effect.
Fouke should be fun...by Monster Hunter
Quite a few folks will be there...
Sorry, will already be in the woods, leaving Tuesday for seven days in the woods conducting research....
Seven days! I'm jealous. I would love to have that much time to spend in the woods. Good Luck!
The joys of retired life, of course I now have to research on a budget... sleep in a hammock and eat oatmeal cereal, soups and nuts and berries.....
the Steak and Hashed brown Taters I cooked for me and Scott was better. LOL
They were the talk of the mountain!
U seemed to be doing pretty good when I met u last year at Marathon. You have enough instruments and equipment to make every serious researcher green with envy!
I've heard Grumpy called Professor Gadget. Name fits!
Paul just went there Mike. Labor day, he recorded an awesome scream and a couple of whoops. I am in Houston now and met up with some fellas here. Sam Houston National Park, The Big Thicket, Lake Livingston, Jasper, Lake Conroe are all right here. So when you get time hit me up and take the drive west and we can go out here. Oct 24th a friend of mine will be camping for two weeks. I'll be out there with a couple of thermals for a couple of days. I will say after 6 months in McAllen Texas it is nice to be back in the US. lol.
Glad to hear from ya. Sounds good. Yeah I heard about the big thicket area of East Texas, that is what initially got me interested in BF. Until I heard about that area I thought they were only in PNW! You said Paul...Hulsey?
Friday the 13th...,by Monster Hunter
Big deal.,,unless of course you're superstitious..,and I ain't... But as I walked out of my shed a bolt of lightning flashed...I automatically thought of Friday the 13th and got my butt in the house...
Superstitious. We both had a great day. Friday the 13th was Silver Fox's birthday but poor man, he didn't really have that great a birthday, although several of you were kind enough to wish him well. He says thank you for your birthday greetings. But when one's own mother forgets that she was taking you to lunch, well...that kinda hurt his feelings. Oh, well...

That's exactly what that is...by Monster Hunter
Ken Gerhart started this mangy coyote shxx as being the Chupacabra...what's even worse...he stole my alias after filming here at MC...IMO...if you think a Mangy coyote is a Chupacabra you have no business looking, chasing or investigating cryptid critters...
How do you make the jump from an (allegedy) crouching creature that has been described as looking something like a small gargoyle to an obvious canid??? It's beyond me.
His online description lists him as a "field researcher" for the GCBRO................
I do like Ken...by Monster Hunter
He's one of a few that is dedicated and spends the time doing investigations...I just disagree with a canine being a Chupacabra...Jake and I saw and took pictures of a dead mangy coyote not far from my home that had been hit by a car...looked identical to what Ive seen on television promoted as a Chupacabra...
of people not knowing anything about wildlife, flora or fauna. Then they try and tell us they've seen something unknown to science and expect us to take their word.
I agree Terry...by Monster Hunter
There are many who pose as being investigators...there are some who spend the time and others who do their investigation on the Internet...nothing wrong with research using the Internet but by all means don't read something or hear something and repeat as if you experienced it first hand and know for fact...
Always get a kick outta these. Dang Yote with the mainge
Well, there are more things around Lena that are much more strange than that mangy thing. Stranger and bigger things.
Gun News from Missouri...by Monster Hunter
Missouri makes it legal to own a machine gun over riding any federal law...Missourians are protecting their 2nd amendment rights making it a misdemeanor for any federal law enforcement to attempt to confiscate the weapons...
Unusual cloud...by Monster Hunter
Dove hunting Sunday afternoon at MC I saw this cloud that kind of, I guess if you use your imagination, looked like a gator...
ghost of Jimmy Durante trying to hide behind it!?!
...or Gamera
It's about time people stand up to all this nonsense while they can. In Colorado they just recalled two of the leftest gun grabbers there!
And you DO have an imagination.......alligater?? LOL
Governor Vetoed it and they failed in the override.
The Governor Vetoed it aNd it failed in the Senate When they tried to override the VETO.Avery poorly written bill. The to mos poerful Republican Senators refused to back it on the override.
Early this year they pushed thru a bill that allows a scrapper to sell any car older than 10 years old without a title! The theft of cars went up 37% in St Louis alone! The law used to be a car had to be 20 years old not 10 years or older. The rationale for this was so that farmers would not be stuck with cars abandoned on their property and since they could only use them in ravines to stop erosion. Drive around mo any where and you will not see cars in ravines anymore and for the most part have not been for 20 yrs or so.The price of scrap took car of that stuff.The logic of this bill fails me.
Need to recall the governor...by Monster Hunter
Though I don't think or understand why the average person needs a machine gun but its the principle of our 2nd amendment rights...you can't give the tree huggers an inch...

Ms. Shirley and Becky find hair...by Monster Hunter
behind the chicken pen plus a possible line of impressions walking down her drive...
Man,Thats a big ol wad of hair.More than I've got on my head..
had an interesting topic in my men's devotional this morning talking about dinosaurs in the Bible.
Got me to wandering the same about out large friend in the woods. Upon further reading and research I see some theories that Esau (sp) and his brother deceiving their father and how Esau was covered in hair, a hunter, and a man of the woods.
Interesting...I would love to hear everyone's thoughts, opinions, and theories.
Thanks and have a good day everyone.
Mormans and Bigfoot
Interesting topic and interesting article...by Monster Hunter
Something that we will probably never know...where did these Monsters originate...
He said that he saw one but he said that it looked more like an ape than a human.
Yes I agree, we will probably never know what they really are other than they really are weird.
....read, thanks. I keep telling my wife, first question I ask when I get to heaven is "Where is Bigfoot?" HAHA
Bigfoot will be there. IF BF is some sort of hairy giant created by fallen angels a.k.a. demons, he won't be there. I guess we'll all just have to wait and see but the bigger question is this...will we really care? And about the dinosaurs...whoever said that they ALL disappeared?
The earliest mention in Scripture of giants is just prior to the Flood account.
There were giants [nephilim] on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown (Genesis 6:4)
Makes one stop and think.
go to a bible book store or ebay and get the book ok enoch and the book of jasher. the whole story is there.if you need any more help email me.
According to Mike...by Monster Hunter
This is what the Monster looked like that day while he was sitting in his deer stand...more human looking than I have seen but other dependable researchers have told me they have seen Monsters that have human looking facial features...
WAY to human looking right there. Just plum spooky lookin
An Apache warrior in a fur suit!
But much more furry.
Nairobi him down and give him a wrestling contract.
Just kidding but it is funny.
But have NEVER seen one even remotely that close to human looking...
the mouth area is the thing I have never notice in the monsters I have see.
Mike couldn't quite reach it...by Monster Hunter
A report...lady driving down the road and sees movement up on an embankment...she slowly drives by, road is rough, and a Monster has his left arm up grasping this limb...Mike is 6'3" so the limb is over eight feet from the ground...
Same lady...by Monster Hunter
She and I believe her sister were driving home late afternoon when they see a dark form on the edge of the road...as they near this form they think its an orangutan or some type of hairy ape...when they pass by they can see it looks like, ITO, a baby Bigfoot...one lady wanted to stop and go get it but the driver refused to stop...
Where she saw the Monster holding the limb...by Monster Hunter
The stick she is holding represents the approximate length of the foot...Monster walked up this little hill and vanished in the brush...
I sure would like to get a good look at that boy or girl....
Welcome...by Monster Hunter
Hope you enjoy...
Notice this second picture. Does it resemble the "Jacobs photo" to you?
Two Monster...by Monster Hunter
Bear...I reckon they're like most critters... To hot during the day so they feed and rummage at night...if you hadn't mentioned it I would have thought that was the Jacobs photo...
We had a photo at work of an emaciated black bear that looked even more like it. I was gonna send it to the BFRO but they've got it in their mind that it was a bf so I didn't waste my time.
I would like to thank every one for all of the well wishes during my back surgery. Can't wait to get out in the woods
You are welcome...by Monster Hunter
Back surgery sucks...hope you have a speedy recovery...
Below...a series of pictures taken...by Monster Hunter
by Ms. Shirley at Ms. Francis home...ladies were sitting on the back porch drinking coffee when they saw movement...this was not unusual since I've witnessed Monsters coming up to look us over and to see what's going on...
Great pics once again Jim, Do they seem to get closer to house over time?
Monsters getting closer to their homes...by Monster Hunter
Both ladies report on a regular basis of hearing strange talking sounds like whispers...loud enough to hear but not loud enough to understand...I have pictures of Monster tracks by Ms. Francis bedroom window and saw a tall dark slender something running from the back of Ms. Shirley's home...
Ms. Shirley told me yesterday her dogs barked non-stop for several hours at something across the road in the pine thicket...seems like this happens when her husband is at work...
Ms. Francis tells me she can hear walking outside her home at night...and she described what I have heard when Monsters walk bipedally...
Great place to do some research but it is weird and spooky at times...LOL...not for the faint of heart...
Back in the old days we had alot of the same things, especially the stuff when her husband was gone, that happened to Penny many times, yea sounds spooky but fun to me!
Hey jim have y'all done any camping out there to see what happens?I wish I had I ride dagnabit I sure would love to Go there with u one day.....
A few of us have camped...by Monster Hunter
out there several nights...several saw a smaller Monster...we heard a few maybe Monster calls but the dogs that were barking continuously at night mysteriously quit barking or barked little while we were there...
Had a few folks get some spirit activity...one man had something whisper in his ear to get out...I'm not certain he heard out since he immediately left when he heard get...my nephew standing next to me thought someone walked up behind him putting their hand on his shoulder...no one was there...ghost hunters were getting EVP's inside Ms. Francis home and the lady asked what is a Bigfoot...the squawk box, spirit box or whatever said outside...also said they were brown....

Now THAT is a lovely piece of tech!
These were found a few days ago just before dark in an area we have had numerous activity in, both Big D and I only consider something like this as being made by monster or another individual only after ruling out any possibility that it could have been natural via mother nature. And both pointed to a trail/old road uphill along a ridge.
3 sticks almost the same length and diameter stuck into the ground and wedged between the trees.
This long branch came from some other area than here and was placed into the Y of the small tree it was placed into on each end.
I have to agree with Grumpy. I am a very well grounded individual. I'm open-minded, but very grounded. I want to see a monster very badly, but I refuse to let my wants affect what I see and hear. When he and I are out, we try really hard to explain away everything we see and hear that might be monster related. If it is a sound, we mention every possible way it could have been made. If it is a sign, we examine it seven ways to Sunday to be sure that it is not something Mother Nature could have done. After much debate and several what-ifs, I feel very confident in saying that the few pictures above were absolutely not natural in nature. Could they have been done by another human, certainly, but you have to understand the area we were in. This area is part of a several 1000 acre nature preserve, that has almost no human activity on it due to its location. This particular area is very secluded. The area we parked in was three or four miles off of the paved road, with the last mile or so being on a dirt road that turns off of a dirt road that dead ends into, you guessed it, an old, very old, cemetery. We then had to walk a quarter mile or so to set up a base camp. We then ventured through the woods another half to three quarters of a mile to this area. The locals avoid the area, law enforcement/rangers refuse to patrol the area, and the few hunters that do venture into this section of preserve never do so alone and are NEVER found there after dark. I guess they know something that Grumpy and I have grown to know . . . There are monsters in the area. We've never seen one there, but we have found several, several, several, did I mention several markers, and we have also had numerous vocalizations, with some coming in so close that you could hear the wind exiting their lungs as they sounded off. I said all of this to get to a point. For those of you new to this forum, or those who have been here a while and are still skeptical, when Grumpy or I post something as evidence, you can bet your last tater that it is authentic. I know that several on this forum know Grumpy personally, and some have met me a time or two as well, so they know the authenticity of our (but mostly Grumpy's) work. There are a lot of pretenders in this research field, but I assure you the no member of the GCBRO field research team, and especially Grumpy, are among them. Hope you enjoyed the pics!
the field today with my lab. I came in to an area with blowdown...mostly cedar and red maple. There were a lot of trees criss crossing each other with no sign of stumps or the origin of the original trees. We don't have bf here. All this to say, and I know Grumpy knows this, not all trees that criss cross and that are in X formations are the result of bf. You have to look at all the possibilities. I would have taken pictures but being the old guy that I am, I don't know how to post photos here. I WAS thinking of you guys thought.
I agree with you totally. Not every odd wood formation that you come across is the result of a monster. Grumpy took several other pictures of formations simply because they looked neat, but he did not post them as evidence, because they were not. I'm not sure of where your area is, or what the weather is capable of doing there, but I can assure you, and Grumpy would agree, that the weather here did not create these formations. Had there been any doubt about that, he would not have posted anything, because there is no greater jab to an individual's credibility than to post questionable evidence as authentic. Thanks for the post.
enjoyed a safe Labor Day. My husband has been working steadily since August 12th and this was his first day off. He won't get another until Thanksgiving but he's so happy out there talking to people, building a client list and "doing his thing." I'm proud of him! (Sorry...but I had to give Silver Fox a plug. This job has been a long time searched for.)
for Maintenance Engineering, which is located in Fargo, ND. He sells light bulbs mostly to industry. Has sold some to businesses but none to our friends, yet. His company's light bulbs save energy, last a long time, produce a natural light (opposite those yellow-tinged bulbs that cause squinting, headaches/depression) and ARE safe to throw in a landfill unlike the spiral bulbs the government made us buy from Walmart or Home Depot. Sad to say, when the Walmart spiral bulbs burn out, you have several steps to complete before you take them to Home Depot to be dealt with. He works a certain number of hours a day M-F, meeting new friends, talking about light bulbs and having fun. I'm still able to substitute teach but his goal is making enough money to bring me home full-time.

For those having problems seeing anything in the pictures...by Monster Hunter
Perhaps you need another monitor or you can be one of a few that can't see the forest because of those damn trees getting in your way...
but I am not surprised they are now appearing. The veil between supernatural or spiritual world and the natural world has been growing thinner and thinner. Too many people are out "ghost hunting" these days and stirring up an already active situation. My take on BEKs is that (1) they are demons in a child's form or (2) they are some type of hybrid human/alien/something else released for some purpose. What they (the BEKs) say when they encounter a human being is, usually, but not always--"let us in. Is it feeding time already? This won't take long, Mr. or Ms." The person who sees them is terror-stricken and for some reason, does NOT open the door to them. As one person recently said, "we've only heard about those encounters where the person does not open the door. We don't know what happens to those who do." Very cryptic, very 'end of days' in MHO.
This may be matrixing but I also see a tall woman standing next to the little girl. I believe I also suggested it was NOT BF but something paranormal OR did I do so in my sleep? Ah, well...onward and upward.

Something else that has been seen at MC...by Monster Hunter
The drawing is from a man who along with others saw this run across the small field at MC...large glowing eyes from the head lights, the feet were shaped something like a humans as best as they could tell and a couple saw this critter with a large biped with glowing eyes from a light...
are completely different than any known animal. I bet they see better in the dark than in the light during day time. : )
I can see movement in this, I hope he gets some better footage as well.
certainly looks like something.
Devote more time to your subject.
Deer Antlers...by Monster Hunter
When I first started visiting the ladies Ms. Francis had quite a few deer antlers nailed to a 2 X 12 beam in one of her outbuildings...slowly but surely these antlers would come up missing...at first, before I saw the nail, I thought a kid was somehow using a ladder or something to reach up to this beam and somehow pulling the antlers down...you can see by the spike used it was more than enough to support the antler and more than likely me hanging...
I found this antler while out walking around on the property...this is the only one I found...
Notice the spike is straight and not bent as if something was pulling down on it...
Do you see anything weird in the below picture?...by Monster Hunter

eyes I see WAY up off the ground?

Monster and some type of something between the two trees on the left... Monster is straight back in the brush...
I count two well defined monsters on the left of the left tree about 3/4 up, real clear with one head below the chest of the other.
What kinda camera do they have....I see what y'all mean looks weired..
I see the one in the middle however the second tree looks like something peeking and its not a duck. Black and head is conical at a 45?
There has been...by Monster Hunter
Several Monster sightings at and near the cemetery...years back, maybe thirty to forty, a reputable lady in the community saw a a Monster inside the fence that simply stepped over to hit the brush...a week after a funeral Ms. Francis along with others found Monster tracks embedded in the fresh dirt at the grave site...there are other sightings that occurred nearby...
Or are just paying their condolences. Perhaps BF see spirits and are attracted to them, too like some friends of mine who investigate hauntings. Who can say? I know some so-called experts have classified BF phenomena as paranormal and I suppose BF are outside the norm. I have never believed BF was anything other than an animal but perhaps the critters are also drawn to those places haunted by spirits. OR perhaps it's the smell of the corpse that attracts. IF we can believe they have eyes that see better in the dark without night vision, then, perhaps their olfactory sense is better than ours...maybe as good, if not better than a dog's? Just wonderin'
to play the shadows don't they?
Unbelievable how smart they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
something that might have whispered in my ear out there that nite! "GET OUTTA HERE!" I won't forget that anytime soon......

Of the short chat and the hitch hiker Ken...
I know that I'll probably be chastized for being honest but I see a bunch of woods and a bent fence.
I hope my post shows up even though I didn't agree with you.
LOL...by Monster Hunter
Just LOL...
Sometimes it's hard to pick out a monster in some of these (Not just yours but a lot of folks) pictures.
That is not a bad thing because these jokers are hard to spot anyways.
I have no doubt that there are monsters in there because I know those ladies property is absolutely ate up with them.
I will look at it more closely but I was just giving an honest objective opinion, maybe if you circled it or boxed it I might be able to zero in.
Everybody needs a helping hand every now and then.

Yep...that's my partner...by Monster Hunter
I've made him tell me his tale several times and each time I can see by the look in his eyes it scared the sxxx out of him...it was his first encounter and it was one hell of an introduction to Monsters...
I don't know this man from Adam, but her sure sounds sincere. His eyes don't wander around as though he is looking for the next lie to tell. His mouth and lips are dry as they would be on someone who is re-telling a stressful experience. And his attention to small details is that of someone recalling an event, not someone making a story up as he goes. If he is telling a fib, he is darn good at it. He seems credible to me, for what that is worth.

Credibility is an issue with some...by Monster Hunter
Our organization will not knowingly associate with anyone that has credibility issues...
I believe him , very credible witness, one heck of an encounter, a brave man.
Watched a bunch. Not to be redundant but as I'm listening the hair stood up on my neck as he tells it. Never seen this one...maybe its bc hes from the same part of the country and I know this type all business and speaks as though...you don't speak unless what is said is real. Doesn't appear... as my grandmother would say he is or would ever be "talking to be talking". Never seen one but maybe soon as I will travel to the deepest part of the Angelina National Preserve over labor day.
BTW does anyone know if you can carry inside a national forest now? Ive heard yes and no.
Found this.
Friday, December 05, 2008
Starting in early January, some kayakers in the Okefenokee Swamp, campers on Cumberland Island, and hikers on national Chattahoochee River trails can start packing more than their lunch.
The U.S. Department of Interior on Friday announced a new firearms regulation that allows visitors to national parks and wildlife refuges to carry concealed weapons, as long as they have a permit from the state they are in.
If youre allowed to carry a concealed weapon on Main Street, youre allowed to carry that weapon in a national park and wildlife refuge, said Chris Paolino, an Interior spokesman.
The new rule should take effect on or about Jan. 8, he said.
Paolino said the parks service decided to defer to the states, where the decisions about carrying firearms in most cases reside already.
State laws already determine the firearms policies on federal forest service lands, including the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests in north and middle Georgia. Georgia issues permits for concealed weapons.
The new national parks rule will only apply outdoors. As with every other federal building, weapons will not be allowed in visitor centers, restrooms and other structures on park property, Paolino said.
Visitors also will still be subject to all the laws regulating firearms. That means its still illegal to openly carry or brandish a weapon and to discharge it, Paolino said.
But the final regulation is broader than the original proposal. Earlier this year, the department proposed a rule that would only apply to states that allow permit holders to carry concealed weapons in their own parks or half the states. Georgia joined those ranks earlier this year when the Legislature passed a gun-rights law that allows people to carry concealed weapons in state parks, on MARTA buses and trains and buses and in restaurants.
The final rule extends the right to all 48 states that issue any type of permit for concealed weapons. Illinois and Wisconsin are the only two states that do not, according to Scot McElveen, president of the Association of National Park Rangers, which opposed the new rule.
That means permitted concealed weapons will be allowed in Californias national parks including Yosemite, Joshua Tree and Point Reyes even though they are not allowed in state parks. In some cases, the new rule repeals a century-old ban on guns in national parks.
The measure was backed by the National Rifle Association and 51 senators, including Sens. Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.).
It was opposed by the National Parks Conservation Association, former national park directors and retired park superintendents.
Things that make you go HMMMM.....
Missing since the middle of July...by Monster Hunter
Two things...he's gone and never ever go by yourself into dangerous areas you're not familiar with...
some of those stories were fascinating.
...make you think. I have been to the Gatlinburg areas many times...I have an extra ear out and eyes peeled.
...just curious with all the wet and seasonably cool weather if there was any new activity to report
Grumpy and I have been out a few times this spring/summer camping, and had some mild activity on our first trip in late April. We had a few very clear screams and something was thrown into camp. My daughter even witnessed that. I was out hiking when this occurred, so Grumpy will have to give you the full details. We have also followed up on a report or two that went to Grumpy personally as most around this area know he is a researcher/investigator. The best time for activity around here is generally between September and February, so as stated in a previous post, Tis the season. I will keep the forum updated if anything new and exciting happens, as I'm sure Grumpy will as well.
Happy Hunting,
Big D
I've been WAY out of the loop for a few years, but am interested in hearing about anything new in the state as well, as well as any planned outings in the future. Is there an active investigation org in the area these days?
Love that area. Weyerhaeuser and "others" have detoured visitors though. I bet even my trailer bar is closed now... lol.
up there for sure. So glad I got to visit. Even though the weather sucked, it was still gods country

Telling me some folks he knows are coming this way from New Orleans to fly a drone over several areas of interest...no idea exactly what this drone is with a camera system but plan on taking some pictures and getting the details...could be interesting?...I hope so...
The Drone...by Monster Hunter
I was surprised...speed, distance and maneuverability...dogs loved it...
What I didn't like...by Monster Hunter
Noise...sounded like a hive full of mad bees swarming...here in Louisiana our pine forests are too darn thick to fly over and see anything ground level...has, I think I heard, a 6 minute air time...I could be wrong...but it was pretty dadgum neat but not 5000 dollars neat...
there's no such thing as bigfoot. Trappers talk about fur, hunters talk about game, loggers talk about timber but no one talks about bf. Well, occasionally the city folks do who have bf on the brain and who don't know a porcupine from a groundhog but not the locals or anyone else who knows the bush. Too bad...
Correction T...by Monster Hunter
May not have any Monsters where you are but down here...there's a bunch of them...
I'm just talking about here in Ontario.
Yes I know...by Monster Hunter
But other visitors might think you're a trouble maker coming to a BF forum making a statement of there being no Monsters...

Renault admits Jerez performance not acceptable
Red Bull managed just 21 laps at Jerez. Red Bull/Getty Images Renault's technical deputy managing director Rob White has conceded that the French's company's performance at the Jerez test was not acceptable. The three teams powered by Renault at Jerez managed just 151 laps, compared to the 444 completed by rivals Ferrari and 875 by Mercedes powered outfits. Renault's cars were also significantly off the pace, with Jean-Eric Vergne's time of 1.29.915s being their fastest time of the week, some 6.6s slower than Thursday pacesetter Kevin Magnussen. "We have not run enough laps, and when we have they have not been run at an acceptable performance level," said White. "The...

Title: Care of Spanish Dagger (Yucca treculeana) after blooming
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
QUESTION:I live in Austin and have a 5 ft spanish dagger in my backyard. Now that it has bloomed and the flowers have withered in May, should I cut off the center stalk or will it bloom again from the same stalk? Thanks..
There are several plants known as Spanish Dagger, but the one you have is most likely Yucca treculeana (Don Quixote's lace). Each flowering stalk produces only one set of blooms, so unless you want to collect mature fruits and seeds, go ahead and remove the old flowering stalk.

Writer: Arab Jacques
Date:Friday June 8 2007
Time: 12:14AM
(Written by Tackful Sheik)
Once again, Dundee United have been strongly linked with former Hearts striker Mark de Vries, on the strength of his past success under manager Craig Levein.
There was speculation that the 31-year-old striker was Tannadice-bound during the January transfer window, after he admitted that he would jump at the chance to team up with Levein again.
The 6ft 3in striker has claimed that his 2-and-a-half years playing under Levein at Hearts were the most enjoyable of his career, even going on to re-join Levein at Leicester City in June 2005.
"If the gaffer was wanting to sign me I would be more than willing to go to Dundee United," admitted De Vries after Levein took over as Tannadice boss last November.
"I'm not going to lie - in the four years I worked under him I never once turned up to training thinking, I'm not going to play for this man."
"I obviously know him very well and I think the football he is going to play at Dundee United will work. The style of football he plays suits me as well so I would like to play under him again."
Netherlands born De Vries has recently been playing in his home-land, after Leicester City loaned him out to ADO Den Haag for most of the season.
Now, Dundee United have been given the green light to bring De Vries to Tannadice, after Leicester City announced today that both Mark De Vries and goalkeeper Rab Douglas have been transfer listed by the English Championship side.
"I have informed both of them that they have been made available for transfer with immediate effect and that it would be in their best interests to get themselves another club," announced Foxes' manager Martin Allen.
However, the last time De Vries was linked with Tannadice, manager Craig Levein didn't even know anything about it.
"I knew nothing about this until I read what Mark was saying this morning and I have not spoken to him," said Levein after the initial speculation that a signing was imminent.
"It's obviously been a case of someone putting two and two together and giving him a call because you can see we need more strikers here and I do think a target man would give us a different option."

Recreational vehicles (RVs) are a popular way to see the Parkway. The length restriction for RVs is 55 feet, including a tow vehicle, and the height restriction is 14 feet. The Parkway can accommodate an RV weighing up to 40,000 pounds.
Most stops along the Natchez Trace Parkway are accessible to RVs, with the exception of those marked "no circular drive". The following sites are NOT accessible to RVs.
The three campgrounds along the Parkway are accessible to RVs, but there are no hook-ups available. These campsites are first-come, first-served, and can fill up quickly in March-April, as well as October-November. If you require full hook-ups, you may try one of the campgrounds on this list.
Did You Know?
The Mississippi Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) played a vital role in the preservation of the Natchez Trace by placing markers in each Mississippi county the old trace passed through.

Recent reviews:
April 21, 2014 - I love the jacket and the pattern though I have only worn it once so far and haen't laundred it. I will hand wash it in cold water and let it dry naturally. I am hoping for the best.
April 21, 2014 - the decorative stitching is coming loose. When it first began, was just in a few places and I tied them to fix them. I have laundered it one time and worn it less than 10 times, only to realize it also has a hole on the side seam and now all the decorative stitching is coming undone. The fit is good, but it did shrink quite a bit in length only, which for me was fine. I recieved this shirt for Christmas and the 45 day mark has passed, so I cannot return. Not completely happy with my first item purchased from here.
January 18, 2014 - Although the colors are different and overall darker than in the picture, I love this jacket. I wear a size 6-8 and the XL is a nice fit, roomy enough for layering. I knew when I ordered that it did not have pockets, so will be adding small pockets on the inside of the front. If pockets are important to you and you don't sew, you can buy pre-made iron on pockets designed to add to sportwear.
November 17, 2013 - Beautiful colors and love the stitching. Fits great. Great to wear on cool fall Colorado days!
October 31, 2013 - The jacket fit perfect and is really comfortable. Some of the stitching (embroidery) was loose so I will have to try to redo that. I love the jacket though.

The cop who said no to 'kettling'
OPP Staff Sgt. Bradley Thompson told the G20 review he set free a couple and two girls "in bad shape" as the rain drenched a "dumbfounded" crowd boxed in at Spadina and Queen.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Amid the deluge of stories over the past two years recounting G20 police abuses, the efforts of good officers — those who kept a moral compass firmly pointed under trying circumstances — have largely gone unheralded.
The OIPRD has identified at least one: Staff Sgt. Bradley Thompson of the Ontario Provincial Police.
The 26-year veteran said he was led to believe there would be no kettling at the G20.
But when Thompson — a unit commander during the summit — and his 40-officer team were called to Spadina Ave. and Queen St. W. that notorious Sunday in June 2010, they found hundreds of people boxed inside police lines.
In a witness statement he gave to the Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD), Thompson said that as the rain poured down, he observed people of all states of dress who were pale and shaking, appearing "sad" and "dumfounded."
An OIPRD investigative report into the kettling incident paraphrases Thompson as saying the people inside "couldn't believe that the police could be so 'inhumane' to hold them in the intersection and not allow them to use a washroom or get shelter or a coat."
Thompson soon saw people he said were in "bad shape" — among them, two shivering 12-year-old girls. He decided it wasn't healthy for the girls to stay there, and opted to release them "quietly."
The report, along with others released by the police complaint's watchdog last week, offers, for the first time, on-the-ground accounts from frontline officers. The arm's-length agency, unlike others probing the G20, has the power to compel officers to speak.
Because there are ongoing hearings under the Police Services Act, OPP spokeswoman Cathy Bell said Tuesday that Thompson was not able to comment.
According to the report, Thompson spoke with York Regional Police Insp. Norm Miles, the officer in command of Thompson's team, about removing people in medical distress. Thompson stated he was told any removal was to appear as though it were an arrest.
Miles could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
Thompson walked with the girls to the side of a building half a block away, and then instructed Toronto Police officers nearby to ensure they got home safely.
He did the same for a middle-aged couple he "truly" believed was on the verge of medical distress.
Thompson told the OIPRD he witnessed a York Region police sergeant also releasing people, and asked if he had the authority to do so.
The sergeant told him he didn't know, but said something to the effect that the people he removed "didn't belong there," Thompson said.
Thompson told the OIPRD he had no idea how the situation deteriorated to the point of kettling, adding that in his opinion the practice is not a "sound tactical move."
He also said he did not hear any announcements by the police advising the crowd what was happening.
"(Thompson) said it would stand to reason that if you wanted a group of people to cause the least amount of problems that you would inform them about what is going on," says the report.

Scientists at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) have identified differences in the proteins present in young and old tendons, in new research that could guide the development of treatments to stop tissue breakdown from occurring.
Tendon structure in horses is similar to humans, and both face common injuries. The researchers used a horse model to undertake a thorough analysis of all the proteins and protein fragments present in healthy and injured tendons.
Working with scientists at the University of Liverpool, the team collected data, which shows that healthy, older tendons have a greater amount of fragmented material within them, suggesting accumulated damage over time that has not been fully repaired.
When examining injured tendons, the team found even more evidence of protein breakdown. However, whilst in younger tendons, the cells were active and trying to repair the damage, there was an accumulation of different protein fragments in older tendons. This suggests the cells somehow lose the ability to repair damage during the ageing process.
"Normal function of tendons, such as the Achilles, is important not just for Commonwealth athletes but for everyday activities for ordinary people," said co-author Dr Hazel Screen, a Reader in biomedical engineering at QMUL's School of Engineering and Materials Science and Institute of Bioengineering.
She added: "This is the first study of its kind, and provides evidence that the increased risk of tendon injury with ageing might be due to a reduced ability of tendon cells to repair damage effectively."
This novel information is an important first step towards understanding how our tissues break down as we age and could help us find ways to prevent it occurring in the future.
'Proteomic analysis reveals age-related changes in tendon matrix composition, with age-and injury-specific matrix fragmentation' is published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

- Cooking Time:
- Servings:
- Preparation Time:
- 4 egg whites, room temperature
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of rose water (ideally, you could also use orange blossom water, or vanilla extract as well)
- Whisk the egg whites and medium speed for 30 seconds, then go to high speed.
- When frothy, slowly add the sugar and whip until soft peaks form.
- Add the rose water and whisk for a moment more. Be sure that everything and your hands are totally clean, the slightest bit of oil can screw a meringue. I had quite a bit left over after all this, so I popped the meringue in little dollops into the oven at 350F for 30 minutes on top of some baking paper for some rose meringue cookies. Yum!
