Round 1s - 40th overall | RHP, Shane Watson (Lakewood HS, California) - Watson got his pro career off to a good start last season, making five appearances - three starts - for the Gulf Coast League Phillies and pitching to an ERA of just 1.29 with one walk and eight strikeouts over seven innings of work. The Phillies decided to challenge Watson with a jump to Low-A Lakewood to start the season and his first couple of starts went well, but he's had some ups and downs since then. In 11 starts, Watson has managed just 49 2/3 innings of work and is currently 3-5 with a 5.26 ERA. Command has been an issue for Watson, who has walked 20 and struck out 32 on the season.
Round 1s - 54th overall | RHP, Mitch Gueller (W.F. West HS, Washington) - The Phillies stayed young with their first two picks in the draft, satisfied to be patient with a couple of high school pitchers that they thought they could mold into quality pitchers. While Watson got off to a fast start, the growing pains have been tougher for Mitch Gueller, who also pitched in the Gulf Coast League last season, making six starts, and pitching to a record of 1-5 with a 5.27 ERA for the GCL Phillies. The Phillies have elected to keep Gueller in extended camp all spring and will send him out to either the GCL or the New York-Penn League when their seasons start in a couple of weeks. Don't read into that and think that Gueller was a wasted pick. He's got a low to mid-90s fastball that will likely get a little stronger as he develops. His secondary pitches aren't overwhelming and that's what needs the most work for Gueller.
Round 2 - 77th overall | OF, Dylan Cozens (Chaparral HS, Arizona) - Having grabbed a couple of young pitchers, the Phillies turned their attention to some bats when they made their second round selection in 2012. Cozens was actually compensation from the Reds for signing Ryan Madson (how did that work out for you, Cincy?). Cozens played 38 games in right field for the GCL Phillies last summer and hit five home runs in 161 at-bats, while posting a .255 average. The Phillies love Cozens' power potential and overall skill set and believe that he has the defensive ability and a strong enough arm to play right field. Again, he's young and the Phillies decided not to push him along to Lakewood and are instead, waiting for the short-season leagues to begin before they send him out for true game action.
Round 2 - 95th overall | RHP, Alec Rash (Adel DeSoto Minburn HS, Iowa) - The Phillies worked right up until the deadline in an attempt to sign Rash, but instead, he chose to attend the University of Missouri. Some believe that if the Phillies had been able to up their offer just a little, Rash might have changed his mind, but the Phillies simply didn't have room in their draft stash to offer Rash any more than they were already giving him.
Round 3 - 125th overall | 3B/SS, Zach Green (Jesuit HS, California) - The biggest question mark with Green is where to play him. They tried him at third base last season and he made 20 errors in 31 games, resulting in an .870 fielding percentage. Things weren't a whole lot better at shortstop, where he made three errors in nine games and posted a .925 fielding percentage. Green hit .284 in the GCL, but struck out 43 times in 169 at-bats and drew just eight walks. Needless to say, Green is in extended camp and will likely be back in the GCL when their season opens.
Round 4 - 158th overall | 1B, Chris Serritella (Southern Illinois University) - the first of the college players chosen by the Phillies last season didn't disappoint. The Phillies put Serritella at Williamsport and he immediately started spanking the ball. The left-handed hitting Serritella hit six home runs and drove in 47 in 300 at-bats and posted a slash-line of .297/.349/.437 in 75 games. His numbers were good enough to push him all the way to High-A Clearwater this season and he's holding his own even though he skipped a level. His plate discipline needs work (8 walks, 59 Ks in 212 ABs at Clearwater) but he's showing a lot of tools and poise considering where he's playing. Serritella is one of those players who could be poised to put up much nicer numbers in the second-half than he has in the early going.
Round 5 - 188th overall | OF, Andrew Pullin (Centralia HS, Washington) - Pullin got a jump on his professional career last summer, playing in 41 games for the Gulf Coast League Phillies, where he hit a strong .321 with two home runs and 13 RBI, while scoring 16 runs. Right now, Pullin is showing some potential for gap power, but he's more known for his contact and the Phillies aren't changing much with him, preferring instead to just make sure his mechanics stay strong and that he continues to work hard. As he develops physically, he should become a much better player. Interesting that the Phillies had him play seven games at second base last season. It will be interesting to see what team and what position Pullin plays once the short-season leagues get underway.
Round 6 - 218th overall | OF, Cameron Perkins (Purdue University) - Perkins played five games with the GCL Phillies and added another 67 with Williamsport last season. Between the two stops, he hit an impressive .294 and drove in 41 runs. Perkins showed enough last season that the Phillies have him at Clearwater this season and he's looked very strong for the Threshers. In 51 games, Perkins is hitting .337 and has 18 doubles, four triples and three home runs, already surpassing last year's numbers in triples and home runs and it's possible that he'll also surpass his total of 23 doubles in 72 games from last season. The Phillies decided that Perkins is best suited in the outfield and he's been learning to play both corner outfield spots. The early returns are a little shaky, but the Phillies believe he'll become a quality player at both spots.
Round 7 - 248th overall | LHP, Hoby Milner (U of Texas at Austin) - Milner made a quick stop at Williamsport in his debut season, pitching in just two games before being promoted to Low-A Lakewood where he would spend the rest of the summer. Milner wound up making 12 starts for the BlueClaws, going 6-3 with a 2.59 ERA in the South Atlantic League. This season, the Phillies didn't miss an opportunity to promote Milner to Clearwater to open the season. While his first 12 starts this season haven't been quite as strong as his 12 last season at Lakewood, Milner has pitched well (3.76 ERA) and his command numbers have shown big improvement. His walks have dropped from 3.2 per nine innings to 2.1 and he's striking out nine batters per nine innings, up from 6.8 per nine last season at Lakewood.
Round 8 - 278th overall | C, Josh Ludy (Baylor) - The Phillies didn't waste time sending Ludy to one of the short-season leagues last summer, preferring instead to send him right to Lakewood, where he played in 32 games, hitting .271 with the 'Claws. One of those residual stats that you like to see in young players showed up well on Ludy's stat sheet, as he walked 14 times and struck out just 19 times in 107 at-bats at Lakewood in his first pro season. This season, Ludy started the season with Clearwater, but wasn't seeing regular playing time because of fellow catching prospect Logan Moore. The Phillies dropped Ludy back to Lakewood after the first month of the season, but he's struggled offensively, batting just .207 in 11 games with the BlueClaws. He's also drawn just one walk and struck out 12 times in 29 at-bats.

Spanish Fork senior wide receiver Cameron Money stood on the turf at Rice-Eccles Stadium, helmet in hand, as teammates rushed past, many offering excited congratulations.
With a sweeping glance around the stadium, Money recalled the pain from a year ago, when the Dons lost to Hurricane in a tense shootout in the state semifinals.
On this night, elation replaced Cameron's heartbreak. On this night, the Dons made history.
A late touchdown capped a rally from an early deficit to give Spanish Fork a 35-28 win over Desert Hills in the Class 3A football semifinals Thursday at Rice-Eccles Stadium, sending the Dons to their first title game in the school's 50-year history.
"Last year was the worst feeling you could possibly have," Money said. "Coming back this year, building this team like we've worked so hard, this is one of the best feelings. But we're not done yet. We've got one more."
The Dons were led by a player who watched last year's semifinal defeat from the stands. Jason Money, Cameron Money's cousin, was a freshman then, but felt the crushing disappointment, nonetheless.
Now a sophomore, Jason Money was instrumental in reversing the Dons' fortunes from last season's semifinal. He completed his first eight passes and directed the offense like a veteran, finishing 22 for 29 for 264 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. The sophomore connected with his cousin for both touchdowns, including a game-tying strike on the Dons' first play from scrimmage of the second half.
"It's so fun having him out there," Cameron Money said. "Having someone I've been around every day of my life has been really special.
"For a sophomore to step up like he has and lead Spanish Fork to its first championship game, it's something really big. We need one more game out of him, and I think he can do it."
Tied at 28 midway through the fourth quarter, a Spanish Fork victory was anything but assured, as Desert Hills had the ball with a chance to take the lead. A Thunder scoring drive likely would have left little time on the clock for the Dons. But Cooper Beck intercepted a pass from Thunder quarterback Ty Rutledge, giving the Dons the ball in Desert Hills territory. Spanish Fork marched to the goal line and Gunner Bues' two-yard touchdown run gave the Dons the game-winning score with 2:47 left.
"It's kind of crazy [to go to the title game] as a sophomore," Jason Money said. "But I've got a great team around me, a great play-caller and a great offensive line that really helps a lot."
Bridger Cowdin had 148 yards on 23 carries for the Thunder in the loss.

This is something I have wondered for a while, however I may be being narrow minded as a designer myself: Do designers and developers make the best Entrepreneurs?
I'd like to welcome a debate about it. Here's my opinion:
Working within the creative-industries, we are constantly required to think about the most creative and attractive, pleasing, simplest and most efficient ways to do things.
As designers, we grow up designing adverts and sales pages. We have an innate ability to visualise the desired final outcome and how we're going to achieve that. We're naturally nit-picky people – if something isn't perfect, whether in design or function, we won't stop until it is perfected. Being creative people, we love to dream up colourful and exciting ideas, our imaginations help us take something dull and turn it into something exciting. Also, we all know that good design is good business.
As developers, we constantly strive to find the most efficient processes, the quickest, easiest way to get from a to b. Developers think every process through in it's most logical form, removing any unnecessary step or distraction. Developers love data and have the ability to build systems that can capture pretty much any information they require. Lastly, developers also pride themselves on automation. The more that their scripts and apps can do on their own and the less the developer's attention is required, the better.
Both designers and developers are constantly judging too. Whether sat in a restaurant looking at the menu or digging through some open-source code – you're thinking "How could I do this better than them" – or learning how you can improve yourself to match someone of a higher standard.
Does your average cubicle-office admin worker constantly strive to improve like this?
All the above merits are perfect for any business. True, you can't just have one of them. Being creative or being able to write good scripts doesn't make you a brilliant Entrepreneur, but the above surely points out how being in this industry can help mould you into a fantastic business person, right?
Not to mention, the majority of us are freelancers – we also have to manage our own money, cashflow, infrastructure (i.e servers), marketing, etc, etc – all necessary talents for being a business person.
What do you think?
I think designers or developers working in a 9-5 office job under management aren't going to be good Entrepreneurs, they will just be worker bee's. Only once they step out of that environment and take risks, and use their initiative will they be stepping into Entrepreneur territory. I think anyone selling on Envato networks, is already showing some Entrepreneurship abilities, it is indeed a risk to upload that first file, because you don't know if that initial work will pay off. But being an Entrepreneur is more of a personality trait, not necessarily something that all designers and developers will have.
I agree with quickandeasy and want to add that designers and coders that are designers and coders at the same time I think would be even better entrepreneurs as they are even more open to learning new things (needed in this case, things like management techniques, organizing people) and as they know what to do already they can have very valid ideas of how to build products and manage time, expenses, pushing for a better UX and design, changing things, making a difference.
Replace the word "Entrepreneur" with "Innovator" and then this thread makes sense. An innovator uses a lot of creativity to come up with a unique idea for a product or service. An entrepreneur is a business-minded person that can take those products and services and maximize sales to the target market of his business. The key thing here is an entrepreneur has business management skills, you could be the best innovative designer, but you are only expanding your creative skill, doesn't make you an entrepreneur if you don't know much about selling your creations and becoming financially successful. Entrepreneurship is a personality trait, a way of thinking.
Developers are, generally, very very bad entrepreneurs. Top of the list being oversized egoes and the ability to spend insane amount of time on things nobody will care about.
bitfade said
Developers are, generally, very very bad entrepreneurs. Top of the list being oversized egoes and the ability to spend insane amount of time on things nobody will care about.
It's a bit of a generalization but certainly fits some developers.
During one of my first jobs I was discussing new product features with our lead developer, my boss at the time. I started going over requests from existing customers to figure out if/what we could integrated into the next release. My boss become frustrated by mere customers telling him how to develop his software. He said to me, "It doesn't matter what the customer wants. We're going to tell them what they want." I was very young at the time, only 3 years out of college, but knew that approach wasn't going to work. A year later he was gone and I had his job.
I think it's important to have a designer / visionary in the founder's team. Especially if he is the one coming up with the idea for the start-up.
In general, I believe when one solves a real life problem (offline) using digital, magic happens: kickstarter, groupon, airbnb, square, etc.
I've seen good designers with bad ideas, and developers with even worse ideas. So it's just a matter of personal experience for every individual. If you nurture your spirit, if you grow learning and enjoy what you do (others call it workahoolic), than you are the type of individual who might succeed. Might because there are many other factors – location, networking, money, talent around you, timing, etc.
I'm a visionary and I'm an entrepreneur, but we are rare birds. Having the right everything come into place is even more sparse. So that makes it difficult to succeed, but we'll get there eventually.
Parallelus saidwell it fits almost all devs i know and i'm putting myself in that list too
It's a bit of a generalization but certainly fits some developers.

I think i've read that exact sentence somewhere, said by Steve Jobs.
quickandeasy said
What do you think?
yeah, any designer/developer on the full time freelance zone with few years of persistence are good Entrepreneurs.
However if the question is about what is the best part, I would say taking correct amount of responsibilities and intelligence enough to keep the boundaries and plans within practically manageable blocks. These qualities obviously require skills, balance, patience, perseverance and most importantly care towards self and client/customer.

SEATTLE — The Briarcliff community is being built on Magnolia Bluff, and overlooks Puget Sound to the west and the Seattle skyline to the southeast. The homes will offer expansive views that stretch from snowcapped Mount Rainier to the rugged peaks of the Olympic Mountain range.
The neighborhood — which is the only new-home collection in Seattle's iconic Magnolia neighborhood — has been receiving rave reviews from both homebuyers and neighbors, according to Aubree Hazel, the listing agent for Briarcliff.
"Our neighbors are excited to see the progress of new-home construction underway, and our exterior designs harmonize with the established homes of the Magnolia neighborhood," she says. "Homebuyers like the fact that we have two [options]: three-story designs with a wrap-around front porch or backyard entertainment deck, and a more traditional two-story design with a backyard, some of which will extend 25 feet deep.
"We have five floor plans to choose from — most with multiple architectural style options — so we have something for everyone, depending on what they need."
Built by CamWest, a Toll Brothers company, the homes feature full-height kitchen backsplashes, wood-wrapped bathroom mirrors, kitchen cabinets topped by crown molding, and Craftsman trim framing the windows and doors.
Depending on the floor plan, homes may include lower-level rec rooms or private guest bedrooms, formal sitting or living rooms, wine storage, dining rooms flanked by stately columns, large open bonus rooms, and kitchen center islands for added prep and eating space.
Hazel says purchasing a Briarcliff home prior to completion allows home-owners to personalize their homes to suit their lifestyle needs.
"I have heard from a lot of homebuyers who have been shopping resales in the area that they are not finding the modern, open-concept spaces that we offer," she says. "Here, you can choose from a myriad of colors and finish materials to outfit the home to your style."
Briarcliff is located within 15 minutes of downtown Seattle. Discovery Park and a Metropolitan Market on 34th Avenue West are a half-mile away.
Additional conveniences can be found nearby in Magnolia's business district, which includes restaurants and boutiques such as Szmania's Restaurant & Bar, Serendipity Café & Lounge, Magnolia Village Pub, Magnolia's Bookstore and Leroux Fine Apparel.
"I've been walking the [Magnolia] neighborhood after work and have gotten to know the neighbors," says Hazel. "Everyone is so friendly, and the neighborhood kids are really sweet and courteous. It's clear that this is truly a neighborhood where people know each other; it's very warm and inviting. It's been a lot of fun getting out and meeting everyone.
"[Briarcliff is] sponsoring the Downtown Sailing Series at Elliott Bay Marina, which is next to the fabulous Palisades Restaurant, about a five-minute drive from Briarcliff. If you're at one of the Thursday night races, be sure to stop by our tent to say hi and to find out more about the Briarcliff community."

The Making of Plimpton!By Tom Bean and Luke Poling
Luke Poling and Tom Bean have been hard at work at their documentary Plimpton! Starring George Plimpton as Himself. The film makes its world premiere tonight, at the AFI-Discovery Channel Silverdocs Documentary Festival in Washington, D.C. We asked Tom and Luke to share their favorite photographs of our founding editor as well as their own memories of creating the documentary.
The Parties
This photo perfectly captures the vibe of the infamous parties at George's apartment. Hanging out in this one room are George's fellow Paris Review cofounders Peter Matthiessen and Doc Humes, longtime friends William Styron and Terry Southern, and an impressive list of writers and filmmakers, including Ralph Ellison, Gore Vidal, Sydney Lumet, Mario Puzo, and, in the center of it all, Truman Capote.
Every time we went by the apartment to update Sarah Plimpton on our progress, we couldn't help but look up from the sofa and chairs we were sitting on and think, The people this room has seen …

Asthma Rates Increasing...Are Environmental Exposures?
Medical Author: William C. Shiel, Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
Scientists and physicians have noticed that the rates of asthma have been increasing in recent decades. This has been especially true in developed countries such as the United States. In fact, the American Lung Association has reported that asthma prevalence has risen from 34 cases/1000 people in the general population in 1982 to 56 cases/1000 in 1994.
Research into the causes of this striking increase in asthma has led to a number of possible explanations being proposed, but there has yet to be unanimous agreement on the reasons.
A study reported in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (1999; 159:125-29) evaluated a group of patients at two points in time, 30 years apart. The study performed by doctors in Scotland detected a significant increase in symptoms of allergic asthma and levels of antibodies to environmental allergic factors, such as dust mites, pets, and air pollutants over the three decades. Importantly, the researchers noted that there was an increase in the signs and symptoms of allergy, even in people without a family history of allergy!

Jones School Leadership
An increasing number of CEOs are exiting their positions prematurely, according to a study by Yan Zhang at Rice University's Jones Graduate School of Management. Of the 204 company leaders Zhang studied from 1993 to 1998, 55 (27 percent) left their job within three years. Zhang's study, "Information Asymmetry and the Dismissal of Newly Appointed CEOs: An Empirical Investigation," finds that these dismissals may be due to the effects of information asymmetry — a situation where one party knows less inside information than the other. In the instance of CEO selection, the board of directors of the hiring firm knows less than the CEO candidates regarding the candidates' true competencies. As a result, it is possible that the board makes a faulty hire and then dismisses the CEO shortly after the succession. Unbalanced information can negatively impact the selection of a new chief executive in three ways. The first concerns the origin of the new CEO — whether he or she was an internal or external candidate. The second is the context of the preceding CEO's departure — whether it was a voluntary departure or a dismissal. And the third is the composition of the board of directors' nominating committee — whether they are primarily in-house or independent directors and whether they serve on a number of other boards. The origin of the new CEO is important because inside candidates are typically already chief financial officers, chief operating officers or executive vice presidents with the company, said Zhang, associate professor of management at Rice. "They would have had numerous opportunities to interact with the board members," Zhang said. "The board has a great opportunity to know inside candidates, thus reducing information asymmetry between the board and inside candidates." Meanwhile, the board is less likely to know outside candidates and more likely to make a poor hiring decision in outside successions. The conditions of the preceding CEO's departure also play a tremendous role in the success of the next chief executive, Zhang said. Because many companies institute mandatory retirement ages, planned succession can help ease a seamless transition, as a company can groom an heir apparent before the CEO departs. Also, if the company doesn't have a good pipeline of talent, the board can search in advance of the retirement — making it more likely that a comprehensive internal and external search will turn up higher-quality candidates. However, if the preceding CEO is dismissed, then inadequate preparation means higher information asymmetry and a higher likelihood that the board will make a poor hiring decision. The composition of the board's nominating committee may have an influential effect on early CEO dismissals. Nominating committees that are primarily independent (not consisting of company executives) are better than those with internal directors, because the latter may perceive themselves as contenders for the position. "They're not going to bring objective evaluations to the CEO selection process," Zhang said. "However, if a company has outside directors on the board and those outside directors are too busy — having too many other directorships — then the nominating committee is not as effective."

Toya Wright arrested in Georgia
Oh no! Just when Lil' Wayne's ex-wife, Toya Wright, was celebrating a new chapter of her life, she's not had a run in with the law.
TMZ has reported that Toya Wright was arrested Tuesday in Georgia,
While the details are still coming in, one law enforcement official telling us Wright was pulled over in College Park, GA on Tuesday. During the stop, the cop noticed a warrant out for her arrest.
According to reports, the warrant was issued after Wright failed to appear at a recent court date.
After the arrest, Toya was taken to a nearby police station, where she was booked and posed for a less than attractive mug shot.
The "Tiny and Toya" star was eventually released from jail Wednesday morning at 1:30 AM on a $290 bond.
Wishing you well Toya.

Safariland Introduces New Hatch Motor Officer Gloves with Orthopedic Technology
JACKSONVILLE, Florida – Safariland™, a BAE Systems line of business, introduced today the new LMG100/200 Hatch® Leather Motor Officer Glove. This new glove is designed to provide greater comfort while increasing protection against the rigorous vibration and repetitive movements encountered by motor officers.
Safariland's new Hatch LMG Motor Officer Gloves (LMG100/200) utilize Hatch's renowned technology in a design that protects the flexor tendons, which are typically compressed when exerting gripping force.

I'm making a website for my wife's new business, and she wants a horizontal drop-down menu. After looking over many tutorials, I put one together. It works well in some of the browsers I've tested (FF, Opera) but breaks in IE and Google Chrome.
For some reason in Chrome/IE, the drop down expands, but vanishes when I try to mouse onto it. I suspect some sort of miniature gap between the main level items and the drop-down items. Has anyone else experienced this?
Here's an example:Xpress Dance Classes
The menu doesn't disappear for me in IE7/8 or chrome and looks much the same as Firefox. Was there a specific page that this happened on or have you fixed it now?
It does look a bit odd in all browsers with the vertical dividing border being bigger than the menu and poking out at the bottom. Is that some sort of designers quirk or is it just badly coded? (i.e. Did you mean it to look like that or not :))
Actually that very page is doing it, and now when I test it on FF3.5 at work, it does the same thing. If you mouse over one of the menu items that has a drop-down, then move the mouse down to one of the submenu items, the drop-down vanishes as soon as you get to the border between the two.
I suspected a 1px gap or something, but even if I move the position of the drop-down up, it still vanishes. Could it be a z-index thing?
Hrm, I don't get what you're saying (although with me and CSS, bad coding is a definite possibility!). It looks like this to me:
Is that not what you're seeing?
I don't think we're seeing the same page. I'm with Paul O'B - I'm not getting any disappearing drop-down menu in any browser; FF4, IE9, Chrome, IE8, IE7.
And what I'm seeing (again, in all browsers), is a divider between menu items that's just a few pixels too long. Screenshot excerpt attached.
Thanks! I'll peek at that once it's approved.
EDIT: Aha! I think I figured something out.
If I increase my font size in my browser, the "bug" goes away. But if I reduce it (in FF, View, Zoom, Zoom text only, then make it smaller) the "bug" rears its ugly head.
I think I need to do something that makes the drop down position a percent or something, so making the font smaller doesn't create the gap.
Ah, yes, this forum has to "approve" attachments. I wonder what that's actually in aid of?
Here: http://earlyout.org/xpress.jpg
More proof that the page you're linking us to is NOT the page you're seeing. The text on the page you're giving us is not the same as the one in your screenshot, and it contains some character encoding problems:
Edit: I take that back - the text does appear to be the same. But you do have some encoding issues, nonetheless.
Ugh. My host uses Plesk, and whenever I edit a file in Plesk, weird things happen.
But there is only one page on the server, so it must be the one we're all looking at. :shifty:
Ok, I think my problem is how I've set up that main menu bar. I need to figure out a better way to do the CSS. I've been playing with a copy locally, and I took the background gradient off it and played with the padding and margins, but the text still acts funky when I zoom it.
Maybe I'll look for CSS menu examples online. I sort of made this one up, which is probably a recipe for disaster, lol.
Probably best. After all, this a wheel that's already been invented. Many times.
It's an attempt to prevent [porn/virus/spam from being attached without being checked first.[/ot]
The problem looks like you have set your text size smaller in the browsers that you are using via the browsers controls which is why we didn't see the issue. The problem you mention arises in IE when small text is selected from the browser controls. It doesn't happen at normal text sizes.
It is likely that the cause is that you have a fixed height nav (36px) and you have made the text just happen to fit by using padding at the smaller text size you were viewing with.
Then you have positioned the ul at top:37px which means that even when working there is a 1px gap between the list and the nested nav and there must be no gaps at all or the focus on the element is lost.
You should either remove the height altogether let content dictate the height (top:100%) or do something like this:
ul#nav ul {
[B] top:36px;
padding-top:1px;[/B]/* makes it 37px away but still in contact with the parent.*/
ul#nav li a {
border-right: 2px solid #CCCCCC;
color: #B11A1B;
float: left;
font-size: 1.1em;
font-weight: bold;
[B]height: 36px;[/B]
[B] line-height: 36px;[/B]
margin: 0;
[B]padding: 0 10px;[/B]
text-decoration: none;
The top and bottom padding is removed and the line-height is set to the height of the nav to center the text (assuming the text is never to wrap of course).
You will have to address the nested items if you need different styling on the dropdown.
Thanks for the idea - I'll stick it in the staff suggestion box
That looks nice in IE, but in FF3.5 the text is pushed down toward the bottom of the list. It's very odd.
Actually, it's when you increase the font size. It doesn't stay centered in the list, it enlarges downward.
EDIT: Ah, removing the height and line height and just using padding seems to fix it.
I have this:
ul#nav li a {
text-decoration: none;
float: left;
padding: 10px 10px;
margin: 0;
font-size: 1.1em;
font-weight: bold;
color: #B11A1B;
border-right: 2px solid #ccc;
Remember to also remove the top:37px because that will have no bearing on the height now. Use top:100% plus the 1px padding-top I showed you to move the submenu outside the border on the ul but still remain in contact with the list item.
Oh! I totally missed that padding-top, thanks. I still have a bit of the vanishing menu problem in IE7, but it's not nearly as bad as it was.
I've uploaded the changes, and I obviously have some debugging to do in IE. Namely to change the logo png to a gif to get rid of the color blending problem, not to mention that bizarre horizontal scrollbar.
Xpress Dance Classes
I also seem to have some positioning problems in IE. What I have is basically a div for the header with position: relative, then I've set the nav menu to be position absolute within that, at a position of bottom: 0, left: 0. Is there a better way to do this?
You haven't taken into account the default padding/margin on the nested ul.Try this:
ul#nav ul {
[B] background:#fff;/* ie fix to maintain hover*/[/B]
display: none;
[B] left: -2px;[/B]
[B] padding: 1px 0 0;[/B]
[B] margin:0;[/B]
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
z-index: 1000;
ul#nav ul li {
clear: left;
[B] /*left: -44px;*/
left :0;
margin: 0;[/B]
Rather than using display:none to hide elements and display:block to bring them back it is more accessible to use the off-left method. (e.g. to hide the element use margin-left:-999em and then to bring it back use margin-left:0)
Yeah, that works nice!
I also redid the CSS for the rest of the page to get rid of the absolute positioning for the header (changes are uploaded to the sample url). It seems to look more consistent, at least between IE and FF, but IE still has that stupid vanishing dropdown problem!
It's really strange because sometimes it's there and sometimes it isn't. But even putting a negative top margin on the dropdown ul doesn't seem to have any effect.
Ok! It seems that applying a -1px top margin to the submenu ul li a on hover moves it up just a bit to overlap the main menu. It isn't perfect aesthetically, but it fixes the bug, and it's not so ugly that I can't live with it.
If anyone has a more elegant solution, I'm all ears!
Try using the negative top margin on the nested ul instead and then adding a 2px padding top instead of the 1px. That will make the nested list overlap at all times but should still look the same with any luck.
However, as I mentioned a couple of times now my ie7 is working perfectly with the answers I have already given. I believe you are only getting these issues when you have resized the text via your browser controls.

BOTHELL — A lawsuit claiming that Bothell Mayor Mark Lamb unjustly fired a former legal intern with whom he'd had an affair has been dismissed.
Lamb and the woman, Micaela Mae, both agreed to the dismissal, filed March 27 in Snohomish County Superior Court.
On Friday, neither side was willing to add much detail beyond the routine court paperwork that ended the case.
"This matter has been resolved and dismissed," said Lamb's attorney, Christine Slattery of Seattle's Lee Smart law firm. "We have no further comment."
Mae's attorney, Terry Hall of Seattle's Wolfstone, Panchot &Bloch, also declined to comment.
Lamb, 40, is an elected Bothell City Council member chosen by his peers to serve as mayor, a position he's held since 2006. Though his council seat is nonpartisan, he is active in Republican circles.
The suit that Mae, 23, filed in October described a two-year relationship with Lamb, who is married. She later worked for several months as an intern in Lamb's North Creek Law Firm, where she alleged she had been promised more money than she received and was fired when she showed interest in dating another man. Afterward, she maintained somebody got access to her social media profiles and deleted voice messages on her cellphone without permission.
She sought unspecified damages for lost wages, unlawful firing, emotional distress and invasion of privacy. The suit also named Lamb's wife and law practice as defendants.
Lamb, in a legal response last year called the suit "frivolous" and said he was being targeted because he's a public official. He also admitted to having an affair with Mae and to employing her, but denied her other claims.

Great interest in SA at 2014 India Roadshow
Indian tourists love South Africa for its wildlife and adventure, but at this year's roadshow there were a lot of queries about the art and cultural experiences available in South Africa. – Hanneli Slabber, SAT country manager: India
The success of the 2014 India Roadshow once again proved the enormous interest the Indian market has in South Africa, and the growing realisation among South African tourism product suppliers of the massive opportunities that exist in the Indian market.
Over the years, South African Tourism (SAT) has witnessed tremendous growth in Indian travellers to South Africa. The latest tourist arrivals figures reveal that between January and September 2013, 84 202 Indian tourists visited South Africa, a 6.2% increase over the same period in 2012.
This year, the India Roadshow attracted many of South Africa's key tourism role players.
Among them were Cape Town Tourism, African Pride Tours, African Hotels and Adventures, Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, Durban Tourism, Europcar, Gauteng Tourism, Hilton Worldwide, Legacy Hotels & Resorts, MalaMala, Tsogo Sun, City Lodge Hotel Group, Peermont Global, Sun International, and the Western Cape Destination Marketing, Investment and Trade Promotion Agency.
Hanneli Slabber, SAT country manager: India, said every year SAT makes sure it brings new products to India to ensure its Indian trade partners are equipped with knowledge of the varied offerings available in South Africa.
Product suppliers who were not present last year but attended this year included the Ambassador Hotel, Aquila Private Game Reserve, Fancourt Hotel, Face Adrenalin bungee jump, Mirchee, the Apartheid Museum, and Village & Life.
To sustain growth and widen its audience reach in India, SAT continues to explore newer markets and traveller segments to leverage opportunities that become available.
'Last year we took the roadshow to Bangalore and Hyderabad. This year we made sure we reached out to key markets like Chennai and Kolkata. Our efforts to cover newer markets will continue next year as well,' said Slabber.
She said SAT is extremely happy to see the tremendous response from Indian travel agents at the roadshows, which were also held in Delhi and Mumbai.
'Indian tourists love South Africa for its wildlife and adventure, but at this year's roadshow there were a lot of queries about the art and cultural experiences available in South Africa. We are very glad to see this transition from being recognised as a wildlife destination to the adventure capital of the world, and now seeing Indian tourists interested in exploring new experiences and regions in the country,' she said.
SAT India has kicked off 2014 with several new initiatives.
Its new cinema campaign – besides showcasing advertisements on South Africa in leading multiplex cinema chains across India – engages its joint marketing agreement (JMA) partners. Travel desks are being placed at prominent multiplex cinemas by SAT's JMA partners as part of a consumer engagement programme to sell South African holiday packages.
It is also producing a guide with the various film commissions and provincial tourism boards in South Africa that will be used to actively market South Africa as a film destination in India.
'Movies introduce new areas of interest for people. Magical locations create the desire to visit a destination. Hence we are putting in our best efforts to support more films being shot in South Africa's many picturesque locations,' explained Slabber.
SAT India also recently announced an all-new outdoor advertising campaign across 22 cities in India. The campaign, 'Meet South Africa', highlights the diversity of experiences offered to Indian travellers.
Further, the DMO is investing in advertorials in publications across the media mix and will host travel trade and Indian media in South Africa in 2014, and it continues to invest in the training of Indian travel agents.

Awesome stuff!
I've automated the customising process of the livecd to a convenient script which can be run on the BT4 Pre final (and future) release. This script sets up a build environment for you and drops you off in a modifiable chroot. You update, upgrade, add, remove packages, and then exit the shell. The script goes [...]
Thanks muts, just a question .. is there a future in this script to install the bt4 final without need the cd live ? like ubuntu or centos ...
=D yeah man that would be great
Cant wait for the pre-final! I finally got my bt4-beta set up on usb right(fixed livecd.sng for hang ups-P.S it hangs up if you have other dev base builds(like ubuntu 4 me) cause it searches through it first. Add 'BT4 from=/dev/sdX1' to the Append row, in Root/ syslinux/syslinux.cfg. 'X' being wich drive letter pertains to you. Use 'dmesg' in terminal to be sure. Scroll up and look under the sd section(under pertaining usb info)after the 8 or so sd rows you'll se something similar to sdb: sdb1 sdb2. Sorry if i re-iterated what others have already said but the info I found was for bt3 (which is how i figurd it out cause it was the same)
hope this helps someone.

Post subject: CITO cache
Just for informational purposes...... my Trashy Cache has been converted to a CITO cache after many emails with one of the admins. This is why it is appearing on the front MN gc page as an expired event. It can no longer be listed as it was previously.
Locationless and reverse caches are no longer allowed on gc.com, but this effort is too important to allow it to become archived, so the admin and I came up with the following solution....
I will be picking a day every month as a "CITO day" (or week?) and posting it on the cache page. Hopefully on that day (or week) when you or your family go out geo-caching you will make special efforts at that time to pick up trash and post it on the cache pages...... But you will still be able to post your "finds" at any time of the month or year -- don't ignore it just because it is not CITO day. Multiple finds will be allowed and encouraged for this cache. I will be re-writing and updating the cache page this afternoon.
This cache was originally started as a project for the Environmental Journal TV show and got lots of positive publicity for geocaching at the time. I still believe this is an important project to continue our relationship with the park systems and the DNR. Let them all see what an asset we are to them with our activities!
(no flaming about the admins over this -- we came to a good compromise, and he was more than helpful in trying to keep my cache within the rules)

Centris, I think this is one of the most important and coolest caches out there today. Logging a find will have new meaning after I find this cache for the first time. Thank you very much for doing this one and taking the effort to talk with the admins to come to a resolution!

I have updated the page and renamed it accordingly.
Geo-mail me if there is something you think ought to be changed or is not clear.
I decided the 2nd Saturday would probably be good for the CITO days, but as you all know....
EVERY day is a CITO day!
Lets just make some special efforts and thought on that day
Maybe I will try to grab RJ's 123 cache and hide it amid the trashiest park I can find for that day --- dozens of geocachers will come and fight over who can pick up the most trash until they find it (kidding).

Centris, thanks for taking the time to update the date each month in order to keep this cache going. Trashing out is really one of the best things we can do as geocachers.

Check out the recent activity at the CITO cache
USNR-Ret (EcoTrekUSA) posted that the Viking Council BSA Dan Patch District in the Lower Minnesota River Basin has been putting out trash-out bag containers and clue cards at CITO sites -- anybody up for checking this out?

Today I visited [url=http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid={0793BB3B-A7F2-4E67-8549-2DF0D314D6AD}]GCHFTF (geoWIZard MultiCache)[/url] by
with R.J. this morning and was a bit surprised to find how strange it was. First off, the first stage was strapped to a pole in the parking lot - visiable from the road even. The "second stage" was actually one of SilentBob's caches, [url=http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid={1D3CE8E9-E708-44A6-B608-9318C472C934}]GC3367 (Jeremiah the Bullfrog Swamp by Ryan)[/url], which was hijacked and used for EcoTrekUSA's multi! I was really confused there for a bit, as EcoTrekUSA changed the container and wrote "hyperport" and "mngca.org" on it and left no clue that it was actually the Jeremiah cache I was looking for. Then the final was visiable from the other cache (0.03 miles away). When R.J. and I found it, which was visible from a distance, it appeared that the hiding location for the cache, a hollow log, was used as a trash container! The rest of the park seemed to be clean, except for the cache location... as it was covered in empty bottles, a bug spray can, etc. We would have trashed it all out if we had appropriate gloves. The container itself and all the little business cards associated with it in the Jeremiah cache had MNGCA written all over it. Probably not very good for our image to be placing caches on top of piles of trash stuffed in dead logs with MNGCA proudly taking claim!
Who is this
guy? He doesn't appear to be serving on the board, nor does he seem to post on the site... yet he seems to be doing his own work trying to represent us. He's only logged one physical cache, and hijacked it for use in his multi. Strange.
Anyone know him?

I only know that he caused me never-ending headaches by posting commercial URLs in his logs, people's email addresses other than his own (ie mine), and that he has apparently replaced a perfectly good cache container with something of his own. When he mentioned in his log that he did this I ignored it having absolutely NO idea that he intended to hijack my adopted cache...
I have disabled the Jeremiah the Bullfrog Swamp cache temporarily until I can replace the cache container. I have posted a SBA note on his cache to alert the approvers to the issues I have with it. I have also emailed mtn-man directly to explain some of the other problems w/the cache itself.

Did I tell you I thought it was strange?
The strangeness, I guess doesn't fit into one post! I trashed out the food items he placed in the cache. Probably not a good idea.
Also, he lists in his description that before he placed it he saw "beer drinking litter at nearby trash-stash!" So instead of taking a bag on the next trip to trash it out, he put a cache there! Weird!!!
I will also say that the cache itself is actually well done, for a basic traditional cache.
You'd think if he puts all this time into creating a multi cache (despite hijacking someone else's cache as part of their multi and using half of his online effort advertising different sites of his and causes he supports), he'd take the time to actually do some trash-out himself!
Also, buried in his cache description is this image:
with the description: "Nine-Mile Creek North Branch Trailhead MN9MEA."
WEIRD! Looks like someone's track through a residential area.
If you visit more of the sites he links to, it gets even more confusing.
This multi-cache boggles my mind! I wanna figure out what's going through this guy's brain.
Depending on where I'm caching this Sunday I may bring some bags and trash it all out. Probably leave the cache there, though.

This gets better.
Subject: [GEO] EcoTrekUSA contacting you from Geocaching.com
--This message was sent through the Geocaching.com web site--
Found major trash stash located near GC3367 upon first visiting Jeremiah the Bullfrog Swamp on New Year's day & found NO "trash-out" bags ...
Got City of Bloomington's Public works to install dispenser at archery range parking lot as anchor point for this "new" Ecocache/Multicache ...
For all I know, college students or summer geocacher's used this site as their favorite beer drinking & watering hole!
Open to creative suggestions on how to improve or revise this off-shoot of ongointg Adopt-A-Wetland program ...
Wow, he would go as far to say that "summer geocacher[s]" would make a "major trash stash." So he finds it - and then puts a cache in the trash, without trashing it out.
Glad he got this dispenser or whatever installed. It just looked like a geocache strapped to a post in the parking lot to me.
...and what am I missing here... "off-shoot of [ongoing] Adopt-A-Wetland program"? Is that CITO? Geocaching? Perhaps he has this confused too.
Mind boggling.

Thanks for checking this out. I thought this guy was affiliated with the Boy Scouts somehow.
Guess I needed to investigate further before automatically thinking he was doing good. My fault.

Being new to this group I noticed on GC.com there is a National CITO day April 17th. Does the Minnesota Group paritcipate in this or because they have their own monthly one do they not participate?

Cal Prospects: Russell ready to roll
Shortstop leads list of top talent showcasing wares out west
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | April 5, 2013 6:00 AM ET
Here's a ranking of the 10 prospects we're most excited to see light up the California League in 2013:
No. 1. Addison Russell (SS Stockton Ports): The A's first-round pick in 2012 made three stops on his pro baseball tour last year, excelling at all of them. Russell batted .369 in 55 Minor League games and posted a 1.027 OPS, legging out a remarkable nine triples. The Florida native also stole 16 bases in 18 attempts. Scouts believe his abilities as a hitter will improve as he learns to handle offspeed pitches better, making an upper level like the Cal League a good test for the 19-year-old shortstop.
No. 2. Archie Bradley (SP Visalia Rawhide): After being selected in the first round of the 2011 Draft out of Broken Arrow High School, you might have forgiven Bradley if he had difficulty adjusting to the Midwest League in his full-season debut. However, the 20-year-old right-hander limited opposing batters to a .181 average against while posting a 3.84 ERA. Surprisingly, Bradley racked up 92 of his 152 strikeouts in the season's second-half.
No. 3. Trevor Story (SS Modesto Nuts): One of the key components of the Asheville Tourists' title run last year, Story brings his advanced bat to Modesto. Like his counterpart in Colorado, Story has lots of pop, racking up 43 doubles, six triples and 18 homers a year ago. He also drew 60 walks while stealing 15 bases and finished tied for second in the South Atlantic League with 96 runs scored. His arm at shortstop draws high marks from scouts as well, giving the Nuts a very good all-around threat.
No. 4. Kyle Crick (SP San Jose Giants):To say Kyle Crick dominated in 2012 might be an understatement. Making his full-season debut for Augusta, Crick struck out 128 batters over 111 1/3 innings, limited South Atlantic League batters to a .193 average and yielded just one homer all season. He posted a 2.51 ERA as compared to the league average of 4.18 and won seven games for the Grasshoppers.
No. 5. Austin Hedges (C Lake Elsinore Storm): A second-round pick by the Padres in 2011, Hedges showed a solid bat in his full-season debut last year, hitting .279 with 38 extra-base hits in just 338 at-bats for the Fort Wayne TinCaps. Perhaps most surprising, considering his position, were his 14 stolen bases. Already thought of as a strong defensive catcher by scouts, Hedges threw out 32 percent of base stealers last year.
No. 6. Tyler Anderson (SP Modesto Nuts): The rotation anchor for the championship Tourists, Anderson showed the advanced approach one would expect of a college product. The 6-foot-4 left-hander led the organization with a 2.47 ERA and finished 12-3. Featuring an outstanding changeup, Anderson finished second in the South Atlantic League with a 1.08 WHIP and yielded just five homers over 120 1/3 innings for Asheville.
No. 7. Delino DeShields (2B Lancaster JetHawks): DeShields was one of two Minor Leaguers to steal over 100 bases last season (Billy Hamilton being the other), the first time that's happened since 1983. He ended the year in Lancaster, batting just .237 for the club, but turned it around in the post-season, earning playoff MVP for the JetHawks. Overall, the 2010 first-round pick posted a .389 on-base percentage, drawing 83 walks over 135 Minor leagues games.
No. 8. Will Swanner (C Modesto Nuts): Rounding out the trio of Rockies prospects who should have a big impact on the Cal League in 2013 is catcher Will Swanner. A 15th-round pick in 2010, Swanner has been brought along slowly, not making his full-season debut until 2012. But oh what a debut. Playing in 88 games, Swanner batted .302 with 16 homers and a .915 OPS that would have ranked third in the South Atlantic League had he enough plate appearances to qualify. Swanner could use some polish behind the plate, as he threw out less than 10 percent of base stealers in 2012. Still, his bat should give fellow prospect Trevor Story plenty of protection in that Nuts' lineup.
No. 9. Mike Foltynewicz (SP Lancaster Jethawks): Making a repeat visit to the South Atlantic League, 2012 was a complete reversal of fortunes for Foltynewicz. The 21-year-old right-hander lowered his ERA by nearly two whole runs while compiling a 14-5 record for the Lexington Legends, tying for the league lead in wins and games started.
No. 10. Cory Spangenberg (2B Lake Elsinore Storm): Repeating at Lake Elsinore after missing six weeks with a concussion last season, Spangenberg doesn't bring much pop to the lineup, with just one homer in 98 games for the Storm in 2012. If he gets the ball in the gap, however, he'll electrify the crowd, as evidenced by his eight triples. The Pennsylvania native also stole 27 bases and managed a .977 fielding percentage at second base.

Work release inmate on the run in Fla. Panhandle
Published: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 9:41 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 9:41 a.m.
PANAMA CITY, Fla. — Authorities in the Florida Panhandle are searching for an inmate who failed to show up to the Department of Correction's work release center.
Officials say 27-year-old Brandon Bingaman didn't return to the program Sunday.
The News Herald of Panama City reports Bingaman only had about 50 days left on a two-and-a-half year sentence for burglary, grand theft, trafficking in stolen property and possession of cocaine.
Bay County Sheriff's spokesman Tommy Ford says they were notified about 4:43 p.m. Sunday.
Ford says Bingaman was visiting his parents and left in their sea foam green Jaguar.
Inmates in the work release program are typically non-violent offenders with a small amount of time left on their sentences. Once they're captured, a felony escape charge with a maximum five-year sentence is tacked on.

benjamin west, a contemporary of Copely, had nothing in common with the development of American art.
benjamin west says, "A kiss from my mother made me a painter."
The only portrait of Godfrey known to have been in existence was that painted by benjamin west, in his earlier years.
It was only the intercession of benjamin west that saved his life.
To the last he had been elected in 1818, and had sent to the academy a full-length portrait of benjamin west.
Of this an illustration is afforded in the life of benjamin west.
Born in Philadelphia about 1766, and was the pupil of benjamin west.
In 1784 he went to London, where for three years he worked under benjamin west.
You have perhaps heard of benjamin west, the celebrated artist.
Fulton went to England when he came of age, and studied painting with benjamin west.
Old English west "in or toward the west," from Proto-Germanic *wes-t- (cf. Old Norse vestr, Old Frisian, Middle Dutch, Dutch west, Old High German -west, only in compounds, German west), from PIE *wes- (source of Greek hesperos, Latin vesper "evening, west"), perhaps an enlarged form of root *we- "to go down" (cf. Sanskrit avah "downward"), and thus literally "direction in which the sun sets." Cf. also High German dialectal abend "west," literally "evening."
French ouest, Spanish oeste are from English. West used in geopolitical sense from World War I (Britain, France, Italy, as opposed to Germany and Austria-Hungary); as contrast to Communist Russia (later to the Soviet bloc) it is first recorded in 1918. West Indies is recorded from 1550s.

Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - Paul Stastny scored the tying goal with 2:20 left in the third period and assisted on Tyson Barrie's game-winning tally 33 seconds into overtime as the Colorado Avalanche edged the Ottawa Senators, 4-3, at Pepsi Center.
The Avalanche jumped out to a 2-0 lead less than five minutes into the contest on goals by Jamie McGinn and Jan Hejda before the Senators stormed ahead in the second period.
Gabriel Landeskog collected three assists and Semyon Varlamov made 29 saves for Colorado, which improved to 4-1-1 on its season-long, seven-game homestand.
Craig Anderson stopped 27 shots for the Senators, who had their winning streak snapped at four games and suffered their sixth straight loss to the Avalanche.
The former Avalanche netminder stymied Colorado after being beaten twice in the first 4:54, but Stastny was able to knot the game after a strong drive to the net by Landeskog.
The Avalanche captain had the puck poke checked away by Anderson and Stastny followed up the play by going around the prone goaltender and placing the puck into an open net.
Colorado carried the momentum into overtime, hemming the Senators in their zone. Stastny had control of the puck behind the Ottawa net and dished to the right circle, where Barrie ripped a wrist shot past Anderson. On the defenseman's decisive marker, an Ottawa player lost his stick, hindering the team's ability to defend.
"(Stastny) was just kind of stick-handling there just waiting for me to get open and I found a lane and then he made a great pass and I was able to put it in," Barrie said.
Ottawa captain Jason Spezza scored a 5-on-3 goal in his return to the lineup. Spezza, who missed four games with a hip injury, wasn't pleased with his team's start or play in the third period.
"We didn't have a good start to the game, but we played a really good hockey game after that," he said. "We sat back too much and we gave them too many chances to tie the game, and in overtime anything can happen."
A redirection by McGinn on an early power play staked Colorado to a 1-0 lead at 2:19 of the first period. Hejda made it 2-0 with a slap shot from the point.
"We started really hot and then I think they took over at the end of the first period there, then we kind of lost it," McGinn said.
Clarke MacArthur scored in his fourth straight game to put the Senators on the board with 4:58 to go in the opening frame. Bobby Ryan forced a turnover in the Colorado zone and fed MacArthur from behind the net for a one-timer.
Ottawa seized the lead by scoring two goals in a 1:25 span.
Spezza tied it on a two-man advantage when he positioned himself at the left post and converted MacArthur's crossing pass at 12:53. Kyle Turris put the visitors on top as he hammered Mark Stone's feed and beat Varlamov high from the left circle at 14:18, four seconds after the other minor penalty expired.
Game Notes
Landeskog extended his point streak to a career-high eight games (3g,8a) ... Ottawa hasn't beaten the Avalanche since Dec. 12, 2005 ... The Avalanche were without forward Ryan O'Reilly (shoulder) and defenseman Nate Guenin (ankle).

- You will see a large golf shop (American Golf Club) on your left. Turn left just past here, before the Texaco garage (onto Kingsway),
- Continue along this road (multimap says you need to turn, but they�ve changed the road markings so you don�t) onto Bruce Road,
- Continue straight on (where the road turns to the right and drops down hill) and the club should be on your right.
Cheers for that , but there's no contact details for the thai boxing club about what time they train etc. Might tell him to just turn up and have a look. Cheers anyway
Ill pop over there on sunday, grab a flyer with the times, pu tthe times on here!

Much appreciated Rachel..
You're welcome. I found it by accident when I was looking for the eagles website a while back.

Fri 7pm adults or 5pm for Kids
Tue and Thu 6pm adults
Thur Lunchtime 1pm adults
Cost around 3.00 or 3.50 a class or Monthly, £35.00 I think.
The Thursday lunchitme is pretty quiet, 10 ish people. Paul runs on a Train Hard, Fight Easy policy, a Hard warm up, 30 mins, pretty full on and then 20mins of Muay Thai practice, then 10mins of cool down, stretching etc. If youre not already fit after around 6 classes you will be well on youre way. Paul also has Master Pimu come over from Thailand every few months or so, they come along with some of the Thai Champions, very impressive to watch. Paul himself is a 2 x World Champion.
Its pretty much turn up, pay and play!
If youre into Ju-jitsu or MMA Cage Fighting they also run Brazilian Ju-Jitsu classes next door in affiliation with WPT. And yes, Paul runs some MMA Fights, I think in conjunmction with Sky and Cage Rage, so you do get a number of the MMA Cage Fighters training down there as well.
Just need to clear a few things up...
The Chris Rees Academy runs the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu... this is not affiliated to WPT Gym at all! Chris is affiliated to Gracie Barra for the BJJ and Trojans Free Fighters for MMA.
As far as I know, only Chris Rees (instructor at GB Swansea) and Chad (not sure of his surname) were involved in running the Cage Rage Contenders show.

Uriah Heep bassist Trevor bolder dies
Listen to Uriah Heep on iHeartRadio
Longtime Uriah Heep bassist - and one of David Bowie's Spiders from Mars - has died. Bassist Trevor Bolder passed away Tuesday after a long battle with pancreatic cancer at the age of 62.
Uriah Heep - the band Bolder joined after his tenure with Bowie's iconic backing band - announced his death on Tuesday. Their statement calls Bolder an "all time great" and one of the "most influential bass players Britain ever produced."
Bolder played on a number of Bowie's classic '70s albums, including "Hunky Dory," "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars," and "Aladdin Sane." He joined Uriah Heep in 1976, and stayed with them until earlier this year when he went on medical leave.
Bolder first revealed that he had cancer in February in an interview with "Classic Rock" magazine.
The rock world is now mourning the death of Trevor. The rocker is being remembered by his bandmates as well as David Bowie, whom he played with in the Spiders From Mars. Uriah Heep guitarist Mick Box says that in along with losing "a world class bass player, singer, and songwriter," he's also lost "a world class friend," and Trevor's family, friends, and fans are "all numb to the core." Bowie praises Trevor as "a wonderful musician and a major inspiration for whichever band he was working with." But he adds that "foremostly" Bolder was "a tremendous guy" and "a great man."
Members of Def Leppard and Nazareth are commenting on Bolder's passing as well. Def Leppard's Joe Elliott says Trevor had been one of his idols, and later became a friend. He adds that Bolder was "one of the good guys," and his death is "devastating."
Nazareth bassist Pete Agnew also calls Bolder's death "devastating." He says Trevor had "a brilliant career and was admired and respected by everyone in the business." Pete adds that Trevor was "a great guy," and he'll miss Trevor and his "wonderful dry sense of humor."

Daisy - from Cleveland, OH
Cakes typically have a slightly higher center than outer rim – it's the way the heat conducts through batter and baked cake that causes this mounding. If you are getting excessive mounding, a number of things could cause this: your oven temperature is too hot, to much dry ingredients to wet ingredients, or the cake pan is placed too high in the oven (it should be in the middle of the oven). To even out the temperature between the outside of the pan and the center of the pan, some people use Bake-Even strips which are soaked in water then pinned around the cake pan.
