I have moved to a property with 5amp round sockets around the room. I want to remove the standard 3 pin plugs from my table lamps and re-wire them with the 5amp round pin plugs I have bought. This means they will be on a mains dimmer circuit, so I can choose to have the spotlights on, or the lamps come on with one switch. The problem is, 2 of the table lamps have 3amp fuses in. Can I safely attach them to a 5amp round pin plug and put them in the sockets without blowing anything up?
3A lamp on 5A outlet
You should be OK to use a 3A appliance on a 5A circuit. The circuit is capable of supplying up to 5A but it is the individual appliance (lamp in this case) that determines how much current is drawn.
Round-pin plugs vs rectangular-pin plugs
Modern usage
I'm surprised a new home would have BS 546 round-pin plugs instead of the more usual BS 1363 rectangular-pin plugs.
Wikipedia says
Until now, I thought the only place where round-pin plugs were used was in theatrical stages, where I think they are used to prevent people plugging inappropriate devices into theatrical lighting circuits.
If the BS 546 plugs don't have built-in fuses, they don't provide any protection to the line-cord between the plug and the lamp.
BS 1363 plugs have additional safety features which may not be present in BS 546 plugs
For example a small child can poke their hands (or part of a metal toy) behind a loose BS 546 plug and be in contact with 230 V.
Sure. As long as the plug you're attaching is rated higher than the lamp itself, there's no issue. The lamps are fused at 3A, so they'll open far before pulling the rated capacity of the cord cap. Still, it wouldn't matter if they weren't fused.
What you can't do is attach a 3A end to a 5A lamp. The reverse, however, is fine. You can attach a 30A appliance receptacle to a radio if you wanted. I don't know why you would want to, but you're not creating an unsafe configuration by doing so.

GOP Adds to Its Gubernatorial Edge
Republicans gained another governorship Tuesday, adding to the majority they earned two years ago, while Democrats were able to withstand GOP challenges in several states.
North Carolina's Pat McCrory, a Republican former mayor of Charlotte, won the contest to succeed the Democratic governor there, and the GOP was targeting two other states—Washington and Montana—that now have Democratic governors.
Democrats held on to governorships in New Hampshire, Vermont, Delaware, West Virginia and Missouri, while Republicans retained control of the governor's posts in North Dakota, Indiana and Utah.
Thoughts from Europe on the U.S. Election
The Democratic Governors Association said it was pleased with how its candidates ran, given that Democrats had so many more seats to defend.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin won a full term in West Virginia, and Jay Nixon, the governor of Missouri, was re-elected, even though Republican Mitt Romney won the presidential vote in those states.
Two years ago, Republicans picked up a net five seats to end with 29 governorships, leaving 20 Democratic governors and one independent. The 30 governorships the party will hold is the most by either party in more than a decade.
This year, each race turned on different issues and personalities. Education was a key issue in Washington state. Unions were fearful that a Republican victory in New Hampshire would mean benefit cuts for government workers. And in Montana, top issues included education and energy development.
In North Carolina, Mr. McCrory started raising money last year and entered the final leg of the race with a fundraising advantage. Democratic rival Walter Dalton, the current lieutenant governor, got off to a late start because Gov. Beverly Perdue, facing sinking poll numbers, didn't announce she wouldn't seek another term until late January.
Casting Ballots in 2012
Decision Day in America
Voters headed to the polls Tuesday in a presidential contest defined by its intensity and razor-thin margins.

In the backdrop was North Carolina's 9.6% jobless rate—the fifth-highest in the nation. As unemployment rose, Ms. Perdue's popularity slid, giving Mr. McCrory an opening to attack her and her No. 2, Mr. Dalton.
Mr. McCrory won with 55% of the tally to Mr. Dalton's 43%.
"It's time for a Carolina comeback; it starts tonight," Mr. McCrory said in an acceptance speech, which aired on North Carolina's WRAL.
In New Hampshire, Democrat Maggie Hassan easily beat Republican Ovide Lamontagne for the job now held by Gov. John Lynch. Ms. Hassan, a former state legislator, had the backing of women's groups and unions. She had warned that Mr. Lamontagne, a lawyer who has run unsuccessfully for governor and for the U.S. Senate, couldn't be trusted to protect abortion rights.
In neighboring Vermont, incumbent Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin defeated Republican Randy Brock.
Meanwhile, in Delaware, Democrat Jack Markell was re-elected governor, with a win over Jeffrey Cragg. North Dakota and Utah voters re-elected Republican incumbents Jack Dalrymple and Gary Herbert, respectively. In Indiana, Republican Rep. Mike Pence was elected governor, succeeding Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels.
In Washington state, with half the vote counted by early Wednesday morning, Democratic Rep. Jay Inslee had a slight lead over Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna.
Washington hasn't had a Republican governor in nearly 30 years. The two candidates were battling to succeed Democrat Chris Gregoire, who is retiring.
In Montana, Democratic Attorney General Steve Bullock led Republican Rick Hill, a former congressman, with a quarter of the vote counted. The seat opened up because Democrat Brian Schweitzer faces term limits.

One often reads (and writes) that an exact sequence of finite dimensional vector spaces $$ 0 \rightarrow X_1 \rightarrow X_2 \rightarrow \dots \rightarrow X_n \rightarrow 0 $$ induces a canonical isomorphism $$ \bigotimes_{i \; \mathrm{odd}} \Lambda^{\max} (X_ i) \cong \bigotimes_{i \; \mathrm{even}} \Lambda^{\max} (X_i), $$ where $\Lambda^{\max}(X)$ denotes the top exterior power of the vector field $X$. My problem is that there seem to be too many choices for the sign of this ``canonical'' isomorphism. For instance, to the exact sequence $$ 0 \rightarrow X \stackrel{A}{\rightarrow} Y \stackrel{B}{\rightarrow} Z \rightarrow 0 $$ it seems equally canonical to associate the isomorphism $$ \Lambda^{\max}(X) \otimes \Lambda^{\max}(Z) \cong \Lambda^{\max} (Y), \qquad x \otimes B_* (y) \rightarrow A_*(x) \wedge y $$
or the isomorphism $$ x \otimes B_* (y) \rightarrow y \wedge A_*(x). $$
Here $x$ is a generator of $\Lambda^{\max}(X)$ and $y\in \Lambda^{\dim Z}(Y)$ is such that $A_*(x) \wedge y$ generates $\Lambda^{\max}(Y)$.
Since this canonical isomorphism is often used in the theory of determinant bundles in order to define orientations for geometric objects, I find this uncertainty on a sign disturbing.
Reasonable requirements that one should ask to this canonical isomorphism are:
1) to the exact sequence $0\rightarrow X \stackrel{A}{\rightarrow} Y \rightarrow 0$ one associates the isomorphism $x \mapsto A_*(x)$;
2) naturality with respect to isomorphisms of exact sequences.
However, these requirements do not determine the isomorphism uniquely.
My question is: is there a standard convention regarding the definition of the canonical isomorphism which is associated to exact sequences of arbitrary length? And if not, what would be reasonable requirements to add to 1) and 2) in order to have a good definition?

...and if not, where'd it go? One obvious venture is that the noun "wit", in the sense of cleverness and general know-how, has an etymological affinity with the Old English witen, "to know", and which Merriam-Webster informs me the "wit" in to wit is a conjugation of. I can kinda-sorta see it, but the connection isn't very transparent to me. However, I can certainly appeal to the learnèd scholars here! Are there any other surviving words witen bears etymological affinities to?

"witness" is one.
As you already mentioned "to wit" is from an old Saxon root. I can see some link with the German "wissen" (also to know), Dutch "weten" and (I'm told) Danish "Vide" .
As in many languages "to see" and "to know" are interrelated concepts. So that "to wit" is not only about knowledge but witnessing.
On the knowledge side, it is also easy to see the link with wise and witty and wittingly.
The "Witan" being the Anglo Saxon assembly of wise men - knowing enough to have their word in the destiny of the community.
"wittingly": knowingly.
In addition to ones already mentioned:
inwit - mind, reason, intellect, understanding
There are more in Middle English that I don't think are to be found in Modern English.
The word wit is from Old English. According to Etymonline:
The NOAD reports that witan (another term for witenagemot) derives from the Old English plural of wita (wise man).

All topological spaces considered here are Hausdorff.
It is a well-known consequence of the minimality of a compact topology that an injective continuous map
$f\colon X\to Y$
where $X$ is compact, must be automatically a homeomorphism onto its range. I am interested in possibly non-compact spaces which share this property. I would like to kindly ask whether there is a characterisation of this class of spaces.

Very promising! The distorted alignment (a la Somova) at 1:34 is disappointing though.

Just out of interest I took a second look at the frame @ 1:34 and thought it absolutely beautiful. Wing like working leg creates a metaphor for a bird ready to take to the skies. In this particular case square hips would render the pose less dynamic, even stale.

Not at all impressed with Skorik, who massacred CHOPINIANA at the Kennedy Center last night, sorry to report. This is sad because I admired her in the documentary of her struggles at the Perm Academy of Ballet (ca-2006/07) and was hoping for much more. Not sure why she has become so brittle and lacking in poetic feeling or musicality (almost a face of anger throughout a Romantic poem of a ballet).
Posted 20 January 2012 - 08:33 PM
I told you so, Natasha..! What I saw was not an off night. It was just an unprepared dancer thrown out to the stage way before her time...

Fleece Bone with Squeaker. Colors will vary. Read More
Bone with Squeaker, 7¾" LThis is a very cheap toy made from the leftover fleece used to make our polo wraps. The fleece is great quality, but the toy is just 2 pieces of fleece stitched together with a squeaker in the middle. It is best for small dogs who just wants a soft toy to squeak.
Approx. 7¾"L
Colors will vary!
Never leave a pet unattended with any treat or toy!
- Brand: Jeffers
- Size: 7¾"L
Reviews (3)
I was hoping to put this in my puppy packs for when my litter goes home but this are very cheap looking and will not be going in the packs. The pups show no interest in them. A waste of money for me!
"Great simple washable toy!"
I buy lots of toys for my guys, but this one is by far their favorite. I also like the fact that I can toss it in the wash. This is my third order of these. They hold up. I just like getting new things every so often. :)
"Don't waste your $$$ alsolute garbage"
"I order from Jeffers all the time and can't believe how fast I receive the products I order. This is the first time I have ordered something that is absolute JUNK!!!! This ""toy"" is composed of two pieces of felt with a squeaker in one end. It is very poorly stitched by a sewing machine around the perimeter of the toy. Absolute garbage, I'm so disappointed. I usually order I7-PA, plush tiger skin bone and my dogs love them, but this time I thought I would try something different. BIG MISTAKE..in the garbage it will go.... "

Upon upgrading from Maverick to Natty (development) it broke the Wine PPA. Deleting it and adding it again (though it says Natty in it's address) is broken. Update manager moans about not being able to get all packages etc.
I keep getting weird errors from launchpad when I try and copy the Maverick packages to Natty for the PPA:
I have no idea what this error means but apparently it doesn't mean there are binaries in the destination archive.
So, until I (or Launchpad) fixes this, no Natty Wine packages.
UPDATE: I am now doing binary copies (not rebuilds) of the maverick packages to Natty. This should work until Natty gets multiarch (which it may not), then I'll have to do a proper fork.
UPDATE: as of now the Wine PPA for Natty works just fine. I will discontinue it when Natty becomes unsupported, and possibly earlier if there's another compelling reason.
It looks like there is no ppa for wine for Ubuntu Natty yet. Did you try to purge ubuntu-wine ppa and then try to add it again(wine ppa for maverick)? what about wine version in official Ubuntu repository?
Yes, it seems to be there (there is "natty" dir in http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu).
But I still use Maverick Wine 1.3 PPA (because there was no for Natty when I've started using it) with Natty (Xubuntu 11.04) and everything works at least as fine as default 1.2 does.
Just add
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu natty main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu maverick main
to your /etc/apt/sources.list.

I'm sure it's something cancer survivors (or whose children have survived cancer) will tell you twists their stomachs in knots. Even though they feel fine, they have that annual check to make sure they're okay, that it hasn't come back.
My family goes through a similar experience every year with my nephew Owen. I've told you about him before. Owen was born with NF, neurofibromatosis. The condition makes tumors spontaneously grow on his nerve fibers. Owen has gone through three rounds of chemo already on two tumors, both in his brain. He's also had a pair of brain surgeries to install shunts to drain fluid that's likely related to pressure from the tumors.
Every year, Owen goes for an MRI to see if any new tumors have developed in his body. He also sees all his brain tumor and NF doctors in one fell swoop on that day, making sure his motor skills, vision, hearing and other areas are where they should be. That appointment is this week. Owen is now 10 years old and is active as ever, but you always wonder what the doctors will say, what that scan might spot. There are extra nerves this year because one of Owen's arms is larger than the other, and they're keeping an eye on whether a tumor growing in the shoulder might be to blame.
So a few extra prayers are going Owen's way - as well as to all other families who have such annual visits part of their rituals. You all have a lot of strength and I wish you good health along your journeys.

Is there a reason timecode in Final Cut 7 and timecode in Pro Tools starts at the 1 hour mark? eg. 01:00:00:00? As opposed to all zeros? Some old broadcast standard that I don't know about?

It's to leave room before first picture, for slates, countdowns, test signals etc, while still preserving an easy count of running time for the video. Yes, it traces historically to broadcast and in particular videotape.
Many tape-based editing systems couldn't deal with 24-hour wraparound, so the next even hour became traditional 'time zero'. I suspect that most non-linear systems are the same.
Some projects use the hours field as a reel/tape/memory card indicator. Many cameras permit setting the TC hours number arbitrarily to support this usage. You could set the hours number in Pro Tools or FCP to conform to such a system if required.

Dont be afraid to ask for anything! I will provide any information on request. I left out friedly games to speed up the post! Hope thats ok!
Tomorrow, the 17th of August 2007 sees the first meeting of Immingham and Cleethorpes! The squad looks ready with only Stotch (thigh strain, 2 weeks) and Draven Dark (Sprained Ankle, 2 weeks to a month) not match fit.
Keep requests coming in guys! Im done for the evening, but tomorrow expect more action!
I will post up a look at all the players before the first league game of the season along with some of the clubs details!
Thanks for posting guys and good luck for the big game tomorrow!!
Oh crap my guy is injured sprained ankle, hope you go quick so I can see my guy play lol.
Oxley-Keogh A.K.A Me Is Immense!!
Love It Mate really good read!!
Looking 4ward For Oxley Keogh PLayer of season award!!!
Pablo Gonzalez brace in the most recent game and a good rating in the match before, im playing and seeming like a good striker. Could i possibly request a player screenshot
MY first goal
Let's have a screenie of Pat please.
Any chance of a screenie of Draven Dark?
That was a quick reply Draven Dark is a big lad lol. What sort of CA and PA do our players have?
Going great so far, could we maybe have a screenine of the full squad?
Throughout Saturday tension was high among the squad, our pre-season rivals, Cleethorpes, who also started out in the same position as us dominated the media. They sat at 1-4 fav for the game, Oliver Ryan and Nicky Featherstone head up a strong attacking presence. The in form Immingham players need to shine but without Draven Dark, are they missing a key finisher? Can Simmonds or Bainbridge fill the hole?
Blundell Park hosts the game, its grass firm, the air hangs with the weight of the town. Only a few miles down the A180, and Grimsby seperates these two towns.
Nerves before kickoff will be high.
The Starting squads for this key game are
ST: O Ryan, N Featherstone
ML: E Flynn
MC: A Hildred, C Herd
MR: O Reed
DL: C Cross
DC: M Carbon, A Heath
DR: J Hill
GK: T Woodhead
Key Player- Nicky Featherstone is worth aprox 500k and looking to be breaking into the national squad, the ex Hull player will me a menace in the air!
ST: P Gonzalez, D Bainbridge
ML: D Fogg
MC: A De Silva, R Oxley-Keogh
MR: P Fella
DL: C McEwan
DC: T Gooner, C Cambell
DR: J Sheppard
GK: B Hawkins
Key Player- Its hard to pick key players out of a midfield that is the engine room of the squad but De Silva has been stella in passing and assists.
On the bench for Immingham are: Brady, Shaw, Yu-Chong, Petersen, Simmonds, Clatworthy, Webster
The league games will start after the game against Cleethorpes, I will give a run down of the squad before then! That will give them time to settle and give you some stats to look at.
Can I see a screenshot of Clatworthy please?
I'm liking the detail in the updates so far.
The squads are lead out and the Immingham captain Fogg seems to be beaming with pride! The stadium looks about a quater full but Blundell park is a little large for this level, Cleethorpes definatly have hopes of breaking into the top league. Their squad looks fit and strong, they have underperformed of late but that doesnt show on their faces tonight!
The detail is not going to be this intense all the way through! I will run of words soon! I will keep the detail for key games but I will run the normal league games and only post up ratings sheets and league position updates. Are we all ready for kickoff?
Come on Immingham!
Me and the lads at the back will keep Featherstone on a tight leash.
Under a wet but warm summer evening sky the game kicks off.
3 mins- Pablo Gonzalez goes down in pain and is helped off.
28 mins- Its all Cleethorpes, chances but the Immingham goal is very well tended!
38 Mins- Four immaculate passes see Cleethorpes tear open Immingham from the back on a counter attack, Herd scores from the D as Campbell falls off him. The home stand erupt and rush to congraulate him, you can see how much this means!
42 mins- Cleethorpes struggle to keep the momentum as Immingham start to have chances!
The second half kicks off under a drizzle but it looks to be clearing, the attendance has been confirmed at 2195, that is about 1/4 full but the away stand looks bursting! Well done Immingham!
45 mins onwards- The pressure from Immingham continues with early chances.
69 mins- FOUL!!! PENALTY!! The ref signals freekick on the left hand top edge of the box to Immingham... Bainbridge steps up with Fella, who is going to take it? Both look to run up... Bainbridge strikes it for the top left corner, it skims over the jumping wall... I dont think Woodhead read this right, the U21 tipped goalkeeper is to slow! WOW! Bainbridge levels the match! What a screamer!!! It dips under the bar and bows out the back netting! Cleethorpes cannot belive this! That must have had perfect spin and control to stay down from such close range!
70 mins- Immingham on a high take control of the game, posession and momentum stay in their favour. This is what Cleethorpes couldnt do after scoring!
83 mins- Bainbridge runs out to the right corner flag, dribbling well and drawing in two defenders. The box looks full of Yellow and Clee panic to defend this promising attack. Black and Grey shirts race forward! Bainbridge tries to cross but can only pass to Fella on the corner of the box, Fella is blocked by 3 defenders but open Simmonds, the early replacement for Gonzalez screams for the ball. The pass across the edge of the 6 yard box is met first time by Simmonds... He blasts it into the empty left side of the net, Woodhead was looking at Fella! What a pass!! Now playing into their away fans the whole Immingham squad flood behind the net to celebrate, some stand on the hoardings!
Immingham hold on against little pressure, Clee lost all heart a long time ago! Maybe the most important difference between the two squads is whats inside!
Final Score
Cleethorpes 1-2 Immingham Town
Could I see a screenie of mr. Webster?
Here is a squad screenie after the Cleethorpes game.
Branden Petersen is playing for the U19s at the moment.
I hope I will cover everything you guys want in the pre season overview coming up this afternoon. Just off to watch the GP then I will get started! After that I will speed up the running of the game! I will still have the detail for the key games! I cant wait to see what happens in the league!
Do you mind waiting till then for a player screenie? Thanks
UPDATE!! Immingham Town
The league season kicks off in 7 days! The squad on a high from the earlyConoco National League Trophy sucess. John Cockerill reports on the current status of the squad with his opinion on the current ability and potential of the players is to arrive on my desk this afternoon.

Sorry, must be losing my mind forgot I already asked.

Bainbridge CA-39 PA-98
Brady CA-29 PA-75
Campbell CA-40 PA-105
Clatworthy CA-31 PA-61#
Dark PA-42 CA-122
De Silva PA-39 CA-118
Apologies, its CA then PA for Dark and De Silva, oops
I've had players with 3 times that and I'm still better than them.
btw, what does our formation look like?
Solid 7s for Mike Yu-Chong. Happy about that
Caretaker Manager John Cockerill preffers a 4-4-2 with an attacking edge to the midfield. The team plays pretty narrow, usually looking for through balls into the middle on breaks.
Draven Dark may be preffered to Bainbridge when fit. It is yet to see how he rotates the squad and if others need to be brought in. So far funds do not allow any purchases and recently wage budget allowance is being filled by staff and coaches joining the club. Nothing notable though.
Hope you guys are enjoying the logos and the teams! The database is up for download and a seperate skins pack is in the thread too!

A roasting hot 32 deg C, 1411 fans. Immingham host Spalding in the continuation of the Conoco National League Trophy Group stage.
Immingham 3-1 Spalding
Dixon Bainbridge slides one across goal on 13 minutes for the opening score. The game is held at this until 53 minutes when Spalding equalise. Dark gets on the end of a De Silva cross in the 73rd min. Gonzalez seals the win in the 87th.
Dixon Bainbridge is on fire!
It looks like the team got off to a decent start, then plateaued but now have really got the ball rolling! League table and Trophy group stage tables up soon guys!

Damn he's bad
Monday 15th Oct 2007 KO 19:30
Very hyped match! Looks to be a close one if Clee can find form. Immingham will have the edge if they play well.
2 mins: Gonzalez breaks through some lax defending to open the scoring.
38 mins: Gonzalez adds an easy second as the defence parts again!
44 mins: Featherstone piledrives home a 25 yard screamer.
HT: Immingham hold out but clee look to be comcing back into this one by getting some momentum in the last few minutes of the half testing the keeper twice.
2nd Half:
45 mins: Ward sent off for Clee
65 mins: Clee battle well but lack the ability to score.
81 mins: The game was looking to go down to the wire, Clee threatend to score. Immingham counter and Clee concede a penalty in a last ditch attempt to save a goal. Fella misses but while trying to clear Heath turns it into his own net.
85 mins: Gooner pops up on the corner of the 6 yard box to head home a 4th for Immingham.
90 mins: Cross attempts a pass back that wrong foots the Clee keeper.
Final score Immingham 5-1 Cleethorpes

Very poor match for the squad, lower ratings than usual.
Maybe call it unlucky but this result is really putting pressure on the team to get in the qualifying spots for the next round of the Trophy. If they do fail then the Youngs cup 8th round draw, in which national league teams join the competiton, will be their only hope of cup sucess. Will the pressure be too much?
The last 4 games are Sleaford, Winterton, Spalding and Clee! Maybe the qualifying game will be against Clee!
Bainbridge out for a month!
Both McEwan and Stotch are out for the next crucial league match agains Lincoln Moorlands Railway but Gonzalez should be match fit recovering from a bruish shin.
Hopefully the team can turn around the bad luck and maybe any poor performances will be down to these factors.
Will it be two losses in a row for the league leaders? Will Cleethorpes rise up as Immingham stumble?
3rd highest average rating
OK Guys, here is the result! Dont look until you have caught up with the info of the last lot of games above. This must have been the hardest game of the season, even with LMR down a few players and not being on the best of form.
A 87th min pen scrapes the Dockers another win! At the moment they are winning games by the narrowest of margins! Only a strong defence is keeping them from dropping points as the strike force appear to be going through a poor patch.
Goal and Motm against Lincons moorlands railway, seem to be playing and scoring alot which is good to see
4th highest AVG and played in everygame, looking good for me (Sheppard)
Webster was finally back in the match squad against Deeping Rangers.
He hasn't started a game yet and has only come on 4 times
More good ratings and another goal
WOO a ticket for a game is just 6.40
Immingham are doing really well KUTGW!
could you please increase Oli Brady's training levels beacause im worried about him not getting games
Still worth nothing but highest rated player in the side
Highest rated defender \o/
Really enjoying the short updates mate, makes you more eager to read more!
Top of the league without my player playing...
Team top scorer, second best ave rating, second highest league scorer
OOOPPPS!!! Just had a major PC crash, couldnt even boot up in safe mode! Dont worry, all files are ok, I think....
All ok! Phew that was a close one! thought my data was a gonner! Well I will be back with the updates once my PC is back to full strength!
Away at Blundell Park to face Clee sees Immingham face up to their rivals with both teams at the top of the table but also both on a poor run of form. Immingham have fallen from grace recently and Clee have a tendancy to come up short in big games.
First half
6 mins- De Silva opens the games scoring with a beautifully placed shot.
14 mins- Momentum swings in the favour of Clee, on their first break Featherstone is brought down in the box, he fails to convert with a rising drive over the bar.
19 mins- Carbon finally slots Clee home an equaliser after lots of pressure.
35 mins- Featherstone tears through the defence to slot in a second for the home side.
HT score 2-1
Clees home atd. is 8612
Pretty bad recent form, whats happend to the side! Hopefully a win against Clee will put us back on track.
My player had a lot of 6's in those games but a MOTM on the last game was pretty good.
Webster played a total of 25 minutes in those 3 games

2nd Half
57 mins- Gonzalez is helped off injured
90 mins- Ryan nods in a 3rd for Clee
Final Score
Cleethorpes 3-1 Immingham
4 days later... The rematch!
Immingham host Clee in the trophy deicder! Whoever wins goes up but Immingham hold the advantage that if its a draw, they go up in 2nd place.
1st Half
6 mins- Featherstone hits home a trademark strike amidst a counter attack. Immingham have barely left the changing rooms.
18 mins- Featherstone rocket blasts home his second of the match from just 12 yards stunning Immingham's defence. His positioning is exceptional. No keeper in the world could stop that.
40 mins- Immingham have hardly broken into Clee's final 3rd and have just 2 shots to their name, neither on target.
Attendance 1500
Half time update...
Currently Clee will be facing Deeping in the Conoco National League Trophy semi finals after going through top of the group.
Immingham will be facing another poor result in a season so full of hope just a month ago, league and trophy sucess seemed just a stones throw away...
It slipped my mind to report that Gonzalez is out for 2 months with fractured ribs from the previous encounter...
His is currently being missed as Immingham show little hope of slotting home even a consolation goal.

Argh bad times
Webster doesn't even play when Sheppard is out
2nd Half
47 mins- Clee's defence let through Bainbridge to meet the end of an adverterous through ball but is called offside.
52 mins- Bainbridge repeats his 47th min move, slots it under the keeper. The flag stays down!
70 mins- Stotch rises up at the back post to turn a deep corner into the net for the Dockers.
82 mins- Featherstone is helped off injured.
89 mins- Immingham pile on the pressure, Bainbridge is brought down in the box but his pleas are waved away.
This result sees Immingham progress through to the semi final of the Conoco National League Trophy.
What an interesting group stage table!
Deeping Rangers league
Boston Town League
From the Conoco Stadium, Grimsby
Still good form by Sheppard, why did he miss the first leg? Suspension?
International Callups:
United Counties of Lincolnshire and Humberside (UCL)
U19's- R Oxley Keogh, Billy Hawkins
U21's- De Silva
U19's- Pat Fella
Congrats to all the call-ups, hope it's me soon!
It was a league game Crayons and I think it was rotational...
Lincoln Moorlands Railway
Oxley-Keogh will be out for a month and miss his international Callup
Young's Cup 8th round draw
Immingham vs Sleaford
Out of the Call ups only De Silva played. He did well being rated 7 as the team lost 2-0 to Cyprus U21's
In a league game that will be repeated as the National League Trophy Clee face Bourne at Abbey Lawn.
Can we get reports on those as well?
Ignore that just read your other post properly

Alex Wilson Pinellas Technical Education Center transgender bathroom controversy
(WFLA) Alex Wilson is a certified nursing assistant, hoping to become a licensed practical nurse, by attending classes at Pinellas Technical Education Center in Clearwater.
Another transformation is ongoing, from male to female. Four years of hormone therapy means the process is well underway.
Up until yesterday Alex was using the women's restroom on the PTEC campus. But that all came to an end after a fellow student complained, and went to administration.
Wilson says she was pulled out of class and told her alternatives.
"If I continue to use the female restroom that I would have charges pressed against me. And that, because of that, I would be removed from the program as a nurse," said Wilson.
The school is looking into other options for Alex and could make some policy changes.

IE 4096 CSS selectors limit per css file
I search the forum but couldn't find this issue discussed anywhere.
Has anyone wrote your sass such that it compiles beyond 4096 selectors in the output css file? What will happen is that in IE some of the styles will not be rendered. Its an IE implementation that only the first 4095 or 4096 css selectors (per css file) are recognized and any lines beyond are ignored. Reference: http://blogs.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/posts/10-05-03/internet_explorer_css_limits.aspx
I read up on compass compile but couldnt find a solution to split the output css files. I would like to know if anyone has encountered this before and what are your solution?

This occurs on my end as i am setting $include-default: true in my .scss. This is still in development so i didnt actually cherry pick the ones i need.
I then went ahead to add my custom UI styles. I discovered this bug only after trying to create 24 coloured buttons (8 colours x 3 different sizes: S, M, L) by creating a @mixin inheriting the framework's @mixin extjs-button-ui. Here's my codes
@mixin my-small-button( $ui, $border-color: $button-default-border-color, $border-color-over: $button-default-border-color-over, $border-color-focus: $button-default-border-color-focus, $border-color-pressed: $button-default-border-color-pressed, $border-color-disabled: $button-default-border-color-disabled, $background-color: $button-default-background-color, $background-color-over: $button-default-background-color-over, $background-color-focus: $button-default-background-color-focus, $background-color-pressed: $button-default-background-color-pressed, $background-color-disabled: $button-default-background-color-disabled, $background-gradient: $my-button-background-gradient, $background-gradient-over: $my-button-background-gradient-over, $background-gradient-focus: $my-button-background-gradient-focus, $background-gradient-pressed: $my-button-background-gradient-pressed, $background-gradient-disabled: $my-button-background-gradient-disabled, $color: $button-default-color, $color-over: $button-default-color-over, $color-focus: $button-default-color-focus, $color-pressed: $button-default-color-pressed, $color-disabled: $button-default-color-disabled ) { @include extjs-button-ui( $ui, $button-small-border-radius, $button-small-border-width, $border-color, $border-color-over, $border-color-focus, $border-color-pressed, $border-color-disabled, $button-small-padding, $button-small-text-padding, $background-color, $background-color-over, $background-color-focus, $background-color-pressed, $background-color-disabled, $background-gradient, $background-gradient-over, $background-gradient-focus, $background-gradient-pressed, $background-gradient-disabled, $color, $color-over, $color-focus, $color-pressed, $color-disabled, $button-small-font-size, $button-small-font-size-over, $button-small-font-size-focus, $button-small-font-size-pressed, $button-small-font-size-disabled, $button-small-font-weight, $button-small-font-weight-over, $button-small-font-weight-focus, $button-small-font-weight-pressed, $button-small-font-weight-disabled, $button-small-font-family, $button-small-font-family-over, $button-small-font-family-focus, $button-small-font-family-pressed, $button-small-font-family-disabled, $button-small-icon-size ); }
And generating the buttons using:
@include my-small-button( 'red-small', ... ); @include my-small-button( 'blue-small', ... ); @include my-small-button( 'green-small', ... );
Not sure if that's the most optimized way to create custom coloured Ext buttons, but what happen is that the number of selectors hit the limit and triggered the bug. I may not need all the coloured buttons nor all the components styling but i am seeing this as a potential problem in the future as i am still early in the development phase for a hugely customized theme.
Currently, I am manually splitting the files in twos. But was wondering if there are other solutions.

The standard ext-all.css has 2539 rules builtin.
If you extend your theme with some UIs, yo can grow very fast and reach the infamous 4095 CSSrules limit. and spend hours trying to understand whats going on.
a single custom "extjs-button-ui" is 100 CSS rules, a single "extjs-window-ui" is about 130 CSS rules so it growths very very fast. Just 15 customs buttons and you're done.
Would be very useful to have a WARNING a the end of compilation to warn the user.
One workaround is:
- include the standard ext-all.css in your html
- create a custom css with only your stuff
Example .scss:
// prevent base CSS
$include-default: false;
$include-default-uis: false;
// standard mixins
@import 'compass';
@import 'ext4/default/all';
// your rules and ui
@import 'custom/default/all';

Hitting this limit with Ext JS 4.2 is very easy.
EXT Gray theme has
Rules: 2404 Selectors: 3521
Add one mixin for a tab panel and the limit is reached.
The bloat from EXT 3.4 to 4.2 is a bit crazy.
Does anyone know which scss file should I modify to cut components from the final css file?
Is there a way to stop EXT4 from generating all of the IE specific markup?
9 Apr 2013 9:05 AM #7
You can modify resources/sass/ext-all.scss and modify some variables here.
you can set at the start of the file one of these
$include-ie: false; $include-ff: false; $include-chrome: true; $include-safari: false; $include-opera: false;
Also in the theme folder, you can tweak the _widgets.scss file to not include some widgets
Hope this helps (comments based on 4.1.1)
9 Apr 2013 9:13 AM #8
Thanks for that, i'll have a look for the 4.2 equivalent tomorrow.
I also need to find what these are for and can I remove it
/*<if slicer>*/ /* line 78, ../../../ext-theme-base/sass/etc/mixins/slicer.scss */ .x-tab-default-top:after { display: none; content: "x-slicer:stretch:bottom, frame-bg:url(images/tab/tab-default-top-fbg.gif), bg:url(images/tab/tab-default-top-bg.gif), corners:url(images/tab/tab-default-top-corners.gif), sides:url(images/tab/tab-default-top-sides.gif)"; }

CSS Splitters
I'm glad to find this discussion! We're using ExtJS 4.2 in a web application and have just run into the 4095-line limit in IE.
I have found a couple of CSS splitter scripts on GitHub. This one purports to work with Compass: https://github.com/zweilove/css_splitter
However, I'm concerned about whether or not the application will still be able to find the stylesheets once they've been split. If anyone who understands this stuff better than I do could take a look at this and let me know whether this script would work with ExtJS 4.2, I'd appreciate it.
28 May 2013 11:56 AM #10
If you use Sencha Cmd to build your application, the production optimized CSS file will not contain rules for components that you don't use in your application. This reduces the number of rules in your CSS file.
For example, if you don't use the Slider component, you will not see any slider specific CSS rules.

1. Spay or neuter your pet as soon as possible. Spaying or neutering your pet may stop urine-marking altogether, however, if he has been urine-marking over a long period of time, a pattern may already be established.
2. Restrict your pet's access to doors and windows through which they can observe animals outside. If this isn't possible, discourage the presence of other animals near your house
3. Clean soiled areas thoroughly. Don't use strong smelling cleaners as these may cause your pet to "over-mark" the spot.
4. Make previously soiled areas inaccessible or unattractive.
5. If making soiled areas inaccessible or unattractive isn't possible, try to change the significance of those areas. Feed, treat and play with your pet in the areas he is inclined to mark.
6. Keep objects likely to cause marking out of reach. Guests' belongings, new purchases and so forth, should be placed in a closet or cabinet.
7. If your pet is marking in response to a new resident in your home (a new baby, roommate or spouse), have the new resident make friends with your pet by feeding, grooming and playing with your pet. Make sure good things happen to your pet when the new baby is around
8. For dogs: watch your dog at all times when he is indoors for signs that he is thinking about urinating. When he begins to urinate, interrupt him with a loud noise and take him outside, then praise him and give him a treat if he urinates outside. When you're unable to watch him, put your dog in confinement (a crate or small room where he has never marked) or tether him to you with a leash.
9. Practice "nothing in life is free" with your dog. This is a safe, non-confrontational way to establish your leadership and requires your dog to work for everything he wants from you. Have your dog obey at least one command (such as "sit") before you pet him, give him dinner, put on his leash or throw a toy for him. Establishing yourself as a strong leader can help stabilize the hierarchy and thus diminish your dog's need to mark his territory.
10. What NOT to do: Don't punish your pet after the fact. Punishment administered even a minute after the event is ineffective because your pet won't understand why he is being punished.

Our Guide to Who's Up, Down
Power is the most coveted and volatile currency in New York—and, often, the most misunderstood. It's a city where almost anything can be purchased at any hour, but not power. A $20 million apartment overlooking Central Park doesn't make you powerful; it just makes you the owner of a $20 million apartment. Hopefully, it has a nice fridge and indoor plumbing.

Power must be earned. If you watch a lot of bad movies, you may think power can also be taken, but the type of power that is taken tends not to last. The best power is durable power, but in a dynamic city like New York, there's always someone pursuing it, threatening it, closing in. The acquisition and loss of power is the human energy of this town—what makes it difficult and sometimes brutal, but also what makes it great.
This NYIndex is a new way of looking at power and fame and infamy in the city. It examines information and data and headlines and offers real-time snapshots of people's rises and falls. This is not a power list: It is a living thing. You can touch it; literally, you can click in and participate. Or just use it to track trends. You will recognize some of these powerful names. Others, you won't. It will change every week. Hopefully, it will fascinate you and maybe motivate you. Just like power does every day in the most powerful city on earth.

And where was this "American Flag" made?
$2.99 Shipping
@mtm2: Well in MN it is illegal to sell a non-American made American flag and it appears you can buy and ship to MN... so either gearXS is committing a crime or it is American made.
@jsoko: Not certain which side of that coin it'd fall on. Especially since it doens't state where it's made.
Considering Biglots has US made Valley Forge 3x5 flags with a pole and little plastic bald eagle pole cap for $10, it is possible that this is a US made flag, because while Biglots does have a lot of deals, they often don't offer the lowest prices.

My wife and I are preparing to negotiate with our families about visiting our first baby. We want to take some time to recover and feel like we have a comfortable routine before taking visitors. We had discussed waiting a month but our families have already expressed a lot of interest in coming sooner. I'd love to hear about others' experience with this.
If you're having to describe this process as a "negotiation" then I get the impression that relations between your family and your parents/in-laws aren't always the most hospitable. Perhaps I'm reading more into the word than was intended. Are they the types of people who tend to over-stay their welcome? Show up unannounced? Have unreasonable expectations of you and your wife when they come to visit?
Before you have these conversations with your families, make sure that your wife and yourself are absolutely on the same page, and agree that changes can be made after baby arrives if necessary. Sure, it sounds like a good idea to say "No visitors until baby is 1 month old" until you get to week three of no sleep. Suddenly, having someone who could watch the baby for two hours so you can grab a cat-nap sounds like the best thing in the world. And you can have different rules for different family members. She might want her mom around more during the first few weeks than she wants your mom around. Or vice versa.
As previous posters have pointed out, any "routine" you have within the first month is going to be tenuous at best on a good day, and the second month improves somewhat. There will be days when baby sleeps most of the day and wakes only to eat and go right back to sleep and then is up most of the night. There will be cluster feedings. There will be days when baby is surprisingly alert during the day and sleeps pretty great at night. And about the time you think you have a routine, something happens to disrupt it. Parenting, in general, is all about having a general routine and then working around the disruptions.
So I guess it's more a question of whose routine you are more concerned about disrupting? You will more easily fall into a routine than your child will, and, for the most part, that routine will revolve around responding to what your child needs when he/she needs it. In this case, it doesn't matter who's present. When baby needs to eat, he/she needs to eat. Or have a diaper change. Or sleep. But the likelihood of a visitor disrupting a baby's non-existent schedule is slim in the first month to two months of life.
Barring any of the things I mentioned in the first paragraph (over-stayed welcome/unannounced visits/unreasonable expectations), and assuming that everything is going all right with feeding (I'm assuming your wife is going to try to breastfeed, if she isn't then that's a different situation), then sometimes it's easier to gird your loins and just get it over with quickly (like, within 2 weeks). Certainly with the grandparents at least. Just because you allow close family over does not mean you have to allow the whole neighborhood in.
Remember that, for the most part, these people care about you, are happy for you, and probably want to help you in whatever way they can. Surround yourself with the caring, loving people and disregard the malicious ones as best you can. And remember: YOU are the parent. YOU call the shots. If it's a bad day and you'd rather not have visitors, then don't accept visitors. No rules are set in stone unless you make them so.
We were delighted to have both sets of parents visit while in the hospital, but of much greater value was having them stay for two weeks each, giving us some much needed support in that first month while we were learning our way.
Your parents are an excellent resource to help make your lives easier, they can babysit, provide their experience, go to the shops or cook meals for you, or just generally be an extra couple of pairs of hands.
Once mom and baby are settled (eg, through first nursing), we are happy to have very close people drop by the hospital. Typically we will see Grandparents first day, maybe some aunts and uncles, and possibly very close friends. Others come over the days and weeks that follow.
It really has to do with how close you are to people. I am not a fan of doing things from obligation -- but rather doing it from relationship.
Try to put yourself in their shoes and do what makes the most sense for both parties. If this was your first grandchild, would you want to see him/her asap?
I will caution you that a 1 month old is barely a baby compared to a 1 day old. So if they mean anything to you from a family point of view, I would let them visit asap, but not be a burden on mom or baby.
Negotiate? Seriously? This is your family and your baby. This is not their decision AT ALL. You can be kind and thoughtful, or you can be unkind and disregard them, but either way, it is still your choice.
So... figure out who you care about, and see what they would like, then let them know what makes sense to you.
Short visits in the hospital or at your home from relatives who live nearby are rarely an issue, as long as they call ahead first. I'll focus my remarks on either extended visits from far enough away that the visitors can't sleep at their own house, or when someone lives close but wants to visit for several hours a day to help out.
In my experience, these kinds of visits are an annoying intrusion for the husband and a godsend for the wife. Especially if she is breast-feeding, and therefore unable to hand off feeding duty to you, she will be constantly exhausted for at least a month. Even if your wife has babysitting experience, she will find being responsible for a child 24/7 to require an almost completely different skill set.
No matter how prepared she feels now, your wife will want her mother's help and advice. The second best people to help and advise your wife are her sisters who have children or your mother, depending on their relationship. You will feel like your role as supporter is being supplanted, but you plain don't have the necessary experience yet. My advice is to accept the help graciously and enjoy the extra rest. You will have plenty of time after the visitors leave to bond with just the three of you.
Our first child was in the hospital for three months, so visits weren't much of an issue. We adopted our second child when he was a year old, and no one really asked to visit for some reason. Our third child was kind of the first one we had to deal with visitors, and I think what we came up with worked pretty well for us.
My mother-in-law lives 1500 miles away. While we were in the hospital, she stayed at our house and watched our other two kids. After leaving the hospital, she stayed with us during the week, and during the weekends went to stay with her other daughter who lives near us. This arrangement gave a helper for my wife while I was at work, and helped me get enough sleep so I could actually make it to work, but then on weekends gave us a break from the stress of hosting visitors, and gave my mother-in-law time to relax and recharge. We did this for a few weeks until my wife felt able to resume her normal duties with our other children during the day.
My mother-in-law argued against that arrangement at first, but commented afterward that she thought it worked better than similar previous visits for my nieces and nephews where she felt like she was "on duty" nonstop. My wife liked that she was never left alone when I had to work, and I liked that we had enough time with just us so I could feel like a real father. Of course, we were already experienced parents at that point, but the other benefit was my wife was very confident about knowing when she was ready to do without her mother's help, because she had "trial runs" on the weekends.
Although it's been hinted at in some of the other answers, your main concern should be setting the expectations for anyone that comes to see you. No one should be "visiting" new parents, because visiting implies that you are the hosts and will care for them along with your baby. Friends and relatives should only "come to help" - anyone coming into your house should expect to cook, feed you, clean up for you, perhaps even make a shopping run. And for the record, "holding the baby" is not "helping". That is the mother's job, and everyone else's job is to do things for the mother.
If you can get your relatives to accept that message, you should not have to fear them coming over, and indeed they should be relieving more burden than they impose.
Thanks, Everyone gave some good feedback and since I didn't specifically follow any one person's advice, I'll answer for myself.
In the end, we first talked came to a conclusion internally that made sense. The first week we'll be in hospital for most of that then at home for a couple of days getting our bearings. My wife's mom will come the second week and will focus on helping mom and baby. Then we have a week without visitors to take it all it and be amazed/sleepy/bored. Finally, we're inviting other family to come out after 3 weeks. Since we're planning on breastfeeding for the first 3 weeks, no bottles, this will also be more convenient timing.
All of that is subject to change if there are any complications of course. We might update this to allow short visits in the interim as an option, but since everyone lives out of state, I don't know how likely people are to take us up on that.
I think the most important thing in all of this was to talk it out and be on the same page before discussing it with the family. This also helps when you can give solid reasons to the relatives so they don't feel insulted.
At first: congratulations and the best wishes for you and your newborn! This is an exciting step and for sure a big change for your life as a couple/family!
What's your concern about the visit? What do you think might happen, that disturbs you or your new daily routine?
Do your parents live far away and have a long journey, or could they "just come over" for some hours? - probably not...
I'd agree with gahoo, Rory alsop and the comment of DA01:
if there is no general problem with the relation between you and your parents, you should give them the choice to see the baby - at least for a short time.
Conditions are clear:
Sure the visit might break your fragile daily rhythm with the baby for some time, you can always remind the guests to be respect your wishes and do not disturb the baby when it is sleeping or in a bad mood..
.. but if you wait for one months, the baby will not be the same as now, so give your parents a chance to see it as it was born, if there are no severe counter-arguments.
There are a lot of factors that can play into this decision, so its hard to give a specific answer.
Delaying access to your relatives by more than a few days, or perhaps as much as a week, runs the risk of hurting their feelings, unless you give them specific reasons why.
That's not to say there aren't good, specific reasons to hold off on visitors.
While it is true that, as other posters have mentioned, having relatives over to lend a hand during the first couple of weeks can be a huge help, it also has the potential to be the source of stress and conflict (depending upon your relationship with them), neither of which are worth risking when you should be focusing on bonding with, and learning how to care for and interact with, your first child (or any subsequent children, really).
Another factor to consider is the birth itself. Some women are able to get back to a normal routine very quickly after giving birth. However, this is not something you should count on, as a difficult birth, c-section, postpartum depression, or simply the emotional and physical drain may make a reduction of interruptions and distractions particularly helpful to the mother (or the father!).
If you are having your baby in a hospital, my suggestion would be that you offer to let your family visit in the hospital before discharge, if they can make it, and then scheduling a longer visit later, at a time to be decided after you get home.
The advantages of having the visit in the hospital are that it is much easier to control the duration, while eliminating any frustration your relatives may have about having to wait. You have the option of claiming exhaustion to clear them out when you want them to leave, or, if you are concerned about the personalities involved overstaying their welcome, you can ask the hospital staff ahead of time if they could impose a time-limit (i.e. ask them to come in 15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc. after your guests arrive and announce that the mother and baby need sleep, and that all visitors need to leave).
Even a brief visit will usually tide people over, particularly if they know they'll get more time to spend with the baby in the near future.
Asking to schedule the longer visit after you get home allows you to gauge just how you feel about company. Maybe the thought of assistance, even for an hour or two, becomes much more attractive after a few days with your newborn. Or maybe you quickly fall into a routine that where visits would be unpleasantly disruptive. Either way, you will have more specific reasons that you can present to your relatives when scheduling the follow-up visits.
There is no quarantine period. It's up to you. Newborns are at increased risk for infection-- especially this time of year (October - March)-- because of RSV, so you can ask visiting family and friends to wash their hands before holding or touching your baby and and ask that they touch the cute little feet instead of your baby's hands or face.
I think a month will be bit long for your close parents to wait to come visit you and see the next wonder. But you are right : too soon is not a good choice. It's nice that you think about it, already for your first kid. I made the mistake to let friends and family come when they wanted and we had a bunch of visits at the hospital : it was exhausting. Even if each visit doesn't last long, the sum of them makes your day really hard. So personally I never visit friends at the hospital anymore.
My personal hint would be : plan to have visits, but not a lot of them on the same day. So a simple trick is to ask people to bring the meal. This way you have an excuse to ask for delay (they have to choose a date that is still free) AND you don't have to worry about cooking (which is a nice gift during those days when you have some much to do and are so tired)
I think it is all up to the parents and there is no right or wrong amount of time to wait.

NEW MANCHESTER - A couple's home of 20 years was destroyed by fire Monday afternoon on Arner Road.
Gary Grimes and his wife Cindy were both working at the time, only to be summoned home to find smoke pouring from their house and firefighters from four Hancock County departments on their front lawn.
"You get a lot of stuff in 20 years," said Gary Grimes, who works at Ergon Trucking Inc.

HOUSE FIRE — Volunteer firefighters from Newell and New Manchester fought a house fire at 568 Arner Road on Monday afternoon. - Stephen Huba
Firefighters received the call at 2:09 p.m. Monday, when a neighbor apparently saw smoke and called 911, said Newell Assistant Fire Chief Tim Steele.
When firefighters arrived at the home at 568 Arner Road, flames were shooting through the roof, Steele said.
"The guys were trying to gain some access, but they had difficulty at first" because portions of the house were near collapsing, he said.
Firefighters from Newell and New Manchester battled the blaze for more than an hour, approaching the house from different directions. At one point, the fire looked under control when flames reappeared in a different part of the house. Pumper trucks were used to supply water. Lawrenceville and New Cumberland volunteer fire departments responded with mutual aid.
New Manchester Fire Chief Roger Stewart said the cause of the fire is undetermined and still under investigation.
No injuries were reported.

NEW CUMBERLAND - "We hope we're all four here next year," said John Kuzio. "When you get this old, you never know."
Kuzio, 92, of New Cumberland, is the oldest surviving member of the Adam Poe Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3526 Last Man's Club. He, along with Kenneth "Pat" Kessel, 84, of New Manchester; Charles Byrne, 85, of New Cumberland; and Don King, 86, of Crystal River, Fla., formerly of Toronto - the other three remaining members - had dinner and their 57th-annual meeting Sunday at the post hall. Over the years, the membership of the club, founded in 1955, has dwindled from 55 members to these four.
A few years ago, there were five; Chet Spilecki of New Cumberland was transported by ambulance to his last dinner and returned to the hospital following the meeting.

LAST MEN STANDING — The Adam Poe Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3526 Last Man's Club met Sunday. Club members include, from left, Charles Byrne of New Cumberland, John Kuzio of New Cumberland, Don King of Crystal River, Fla., formerly of Toronto, Ohio, and Kenneth "Pat" Kessel of New Manchester. -- Summer Wallace-Minger
"He had to fight to come, but he was happy," said King. "We had to help him up the stairs. Afterwards, they loaded him back in the ambulance, and he went back to the hospital. He was only in the hospital a few more weeks after that."
Despite the intervening years, their memories of their time in the service has not dimmed.
King and Kessel served in the Navy, Kuzio with the Army Air Force Ordnance Corps and Byrne with the Army, although he re-enlisted for a stint in Korea with the Navy.
"He was so ornery, the Army got rid of him," King joked.
Kuzio said he enlisted the day after Thanksgiving in 1941, intending to serve a year, then began his studies at West Liberty State College.
"I signed up, then the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, and Dec. 8, we declared war," said Kuzio.
On Dec. 26, Kuzio began his service, and was sent first to Columbus, then to North Carolina, then to San Francisco on his way to Australia and the Pacific Theater.
"They gave me a Springfield from World War I," he said. "I was in for all of a month when they made me a staff sergeant because I'd graduated from high school. I called my dad, and he asked if they were training me, but I didn't know where I was going or what was going on. They just gave me these books and said, 'here, study up.'"
He spent 33 months in New Guinea, before returning to the Ohio Valley. His plans to attend West Liberty were foiled by the fact there were no buses running from Weirton to West Liberty. Instead, he took a bus to Pittsburgh, where he enrolled in the University of Pittsburgh, where he also participated in athletics.
Kessel also served in the Pacific, where he served on a troop transport ship. Typhoons were simply a part of doing business in the Pacific, he said.
"Once, we had 2,000 soldiers (on board), but I didn't see them for four days," he said. "They all stayed below, because there was a typhoon, but the Navy didn't care - you stood your post no matter what. These (Navy) guys, they didn't care, there'd be these huge swells and they're playing pinochle."
Byrne, on his Navy stint, was swept overboard, he said.
"A big storm came up, and a big 40-foot high wave come up," he said. "I was tying down a depth charge. I had a life jacket on, and the look-out saw me, but we were the only ship out there. You know, I was the only one washed overboard?"
"I remember there was a typhoon, the first time I was out," said King. "There were 40, 50-foot waves, and someone left a hatch open, and water came in, and I woke up, and there's water all over, and I thought we were sinking."
Kessel voiced admiration for those who manned the smaller vessels.
"Those were real sailors," he said. "You'd see them, and then a wave would come up and you wouldn't see them, then, there they'd be, coming up the crest."
Kuzio remembered taking a reconnaissance flight to see the damage inflicted by B-24 bombers.
"I wasn't supposed to be with them," he said. "It was all blown all to hell. We were coming back, when when one of the engines quit. They said to me, 'here you go, Sarge, here's a parachute.' I said, 'I don't know what to do with this, I'm a soldier.'"
As the crew prepared to evacuate in the case of a crash, they called ahead to have the field cleared, and the pilot managed to crash-land, but the second engine stopped as they landed.
Kessel's commanding officer "asked where the hell I'd been for three hours, and I told him I'd replaced their navigator who was sick, and he said, 'don't you know, if you were shot down or wasted out there, your parents wouldn't have collected your insurance, because you weren't supposed to be out there.' Well, now you tell me!"
Despite being half-way around the world, the group was still reminded of their small town roots by encounters with other Ohio Valley natives. Kessel noted one club member, Jim Greathouse, had such an encounter after being arrested by the military police for intoxication.
"They threw him into the brig - or the stockade, because it was the Army - and they took him up to the provost marshal the next morning, he was sitting at his desk, and he was a captain," said Kessel. "And the guy looked at him and said, 'is your name Greathouse?' And he said 'yes.' And the captain said, 'My name's Plattenburg' - his family ran the (Hancock County) Courier - and he goes 'just get the hell out of here.'"

Denali: take a bus to see Alaska
|The landscape near Denali is reflected in the side of Alaska Railroad train. (Brad Branan/Sacramento Bee/MCT)
The driver didn't want to disturb the wolf, she said, but we were running behind schedule. She maneuvered the bus closer and then closer, hoping to persuade the animal to move aside.
When the bus was only a couple of feet away, the wolf finally stopped, reared up on its hind legs and bared its teeth.
Sufficiently cowed, we waited for Canis lupus to move out of the way about a mile down the road.
About 400,000 people visit Denali each year, but animals truly own the place. Most of the animals I saw during five August days in Denali — Dall sheep, caribou, grizzlies and more — I saw from a bus, which, it turns out, is a great way to see a park that is bigger than some states.
What applies to Denali also holds true for Alaska. While many people turn to cruise ships and rental cars to visit Alaska — by far the nation's biggest state — I found public transportation a better option.
Public transportation is less expensive and more environmentally responsible than other options, and bus and train operators provide unexpected insights into the land and its inhabitants.
After flying to Anchorage, I relied on buses and the Alaska Railroad on a two-week trek across parts of the interior and the Kenai Peninsula in southern Alaska.
Several companies offer shuttle bus service from Anchorage to Denali, a five-hour ride.
In Denali, another shuttle service operated by the park's concessionaire took me to my campsite on the Teklanika River in the middle of the park, where cars are severely restricted.
Planning my trip, I thought I would hate all the time on the bus. Turns out, I was very wrong. I was enthralled by the landscape from the time I left Anchorage.
Snow-covered mountains, including McKinley — at 20,320 feet, North America's tallest and one of the most prominent peaks in the world — punctuated the skyline. Streaks of fall colors made the valleys look like Indian rugs. Rivers — silver-gray from glacier silt — striped the land.
The time flew by.
To me, an avid hiker, the idea of seeing Denali trapped on a bus seemed wrong, at least until I found out what happened to a fellow Californian the day before I arrived in Denali.
He was fatally mauled by a grizzly, the first recorded instance of a person being killed by a bear at the park. Hiking in the backcountry, the man was taking pictures of the bear when he was killed, according to the National Park Service.
Grizzlies are fairly common in Alaska, and unlike black bears in California, they are known to attack humans. In Denali's gorgeous Polychrome Pass, I went on a guided hike with a park ranger who taught me how to use bear spray to prevent attacks. We repeated "Hey bear!" every few minutes to try to avoid confrontations.
On the bus, I didn't have to worry about bears _ only if I missed seeing them. The drivers are adept at spotting animals in the landscape, helped in part by hand signals from passing drivers to indicate different types of animals coming up.
On a daylong trip traveling the length of Denali's main road, we saw dozens of bears, most of them just off the road. They were often mothers with cubs.
I opted to leave Denali for Anchorage by train. The Alaska Railroad is twice as expensive as a bus and almost twice as slow. And it's the best way, hands down, to travel Alaska.
One reason why: employees such as conductor Steve Culver, who's been with the company for 40 years and is enthusiastic for the job and Alaska.
Culver tells riders about his past and the characters he's met along the way, offering travelers a look at two photo albums of his family and travels to get inspiration for pictures.
I admittedly ripped off his idea of photographing landscape reflected on the side of trains.
"I'm probably the only conductor in the country who tells people to hang out the side of the train," Culver said, noting that a protective barrier keeps them from falling out.
The ride is smooth and comfortable and the train's big picture windows provide views of nearly everything around, but it's the landscape, of course, that makes the ride so memorable.
Later, I sat nearly silent for more than two hours as I rode the train from Seward to Anchorage, awed by the glaciers, waterways and mountains along the way.
Tour guides provide commentary about passing features over an intercom, without ever becoming a distraction.
Residents sometimes stand next to the track and wave to passing riders. Sometimes they're waiting for Culver to toss them an old newspaper because they can't get one nearby.
You can only look at the landscape — even spectacular landscape — so long before you have to get out and play. Robert Valdatta understood this because he drives the 130 miles between Anchorage and Seward every day.
The part-time Seward city councilman and full-time driver for Seward Bus Lines agreed to drop me off at a campground in the Chugach National Forest and pick me up 25 miles down the road two days later so I could hike the Johnson Pass on my way to Seward in the Kenai Peninsula.
Hiking that distance in two days would not be too hard in California. But many parks in Alaska have few, if any, developed trails. The existing trails are less developed and receive less maintenance than trails in other states.
The Kenai Peninsula is a coastal rain forest, meaning the Johnson Pass was exceptionally muddy and dense with brush in spots. I had bear spray in my backpack and shouted "Hey bear!" every once in a while.
The work was hard, but I basked in solitude, seeing just three groups of people in two days, and enjoying remarkable alpine settings. I finished the hike about 30 minutes before Valdatta pulled into a hatchery parking lot to pick me up.
As I continued to the Kenai Fjords National Park, home of the massive Harding Icefield and Exit Glacier, roadside markers showed where the glacier once extended.
It has shrunk two miles in 200 years, in part because of global warming, officials say. Carbon dioxide from vehicles contributes to climate change, a reminder of why public transportation was the right choice for my trip.
