Let's just say my Freshman year was 1979. After 3 years in the engineering program I had to go the the UK school on engineering, I thought I'd take a break and spend some time in the military. 10 years, a commission, and lots of work on their computer software side, later... I got out and started working in the private industry... Never did make it to UK.

Due to odd dimensions or very large size of some items, USPS charges more for shipping and thus that is calculated into the shipping weight.
If you would like it sent Parcel Post, we now have that option but it will take longer to get to you and is less secure of a shipping method due to the way it is handled by USPS.
Please keep in mind that some items may be too big to ship via Priority mail and will have to be shipped Parcel.

Does anyone know of any MMA clubs in the Upminster/Hornchurch region?
I've watched UFC/kickboxing for a few years now and have thought about taking up training for some time. I have done a couple of kickboxing classes before and I found those good. However they were in rented halls rather than dedicated gyms so I was a little disappointed at the same time.
Are people who train but dont fight looked down upon in MMA? The reason I ask is because I dont really want to be pressured into fighting. I just want to train and learn the skills as I think its a great sport. If Im any good, which I doubt as Im now nearing 26, I would do some sparring.
If anyone can help me it would be very much appreciated

Well, well, well, Kristen Stewart sure is a dark horse! The actress who plays clumsy Bella Swan in the Twilight Saga, has reportedly been practising stripper moves on her rumoured boyfriend, Robert Pattinson.
According to celebuzz.com, a source has revealed that the (not so) shy actress has been putting the stripper moves she learnt whilst taking on the role of a stripper/prostitute in Welcome To The Rileys, to good use with Rob.
The source said: "Kristen isn't just good, she's great with the sexy moves. She admits to friends she feels super sexy when she gyrates to the music and struts around."
And Rob is pretty impressed too….
"Rob already thought Kris was the sexiest woman in the world. But the first time she offered him a lap dance, he couldn't believe his luck."
We bet Rob and Kristen are really happy about information about their RUMOURED sex life being made public….

Royal BC Museum exhibit
The Royal BC Museum exhibit "Treasures: The World's Cultures from the British Museum" has just opened in Victoria. It runs until 30th September 2009. Accompanying it is an IMAX film "Journey to Mecca". We have had the opportunity to preview both and heartily recommend them to you.
The exhibit is one of the best at the RBCM for several years. Its 300 artifacts present over a million years of history. Like all exhibits at the museum it is very well presented. You can buy tickets online or at the museum.
The IMAX cinema always has several films being played over the summer with one having top billing: "Journey to Mecca". Ibn Battuta has been described as "the traveller not of an age but of Islam", having travelled 75,00 miles! He began these in 1325 with the journey to Mecca shown in the film and then kept going, on and on.
Do visit them both. (By the way, the mammoth above is part of one of the Royal BC Museum's permanent exhibits which range from the Ice Age to pioneer days in Victoria).

text: BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have say that extra-efficient rooftop units that heat and cool commercial buildings can reduce energy costs an average of about 41% compared with most units in operation today. Not only that, but if such units immediately replaced all those existing rooftop units that have a cooling capacity of 10 to 20 tons, it would save $1 billion annually. The DOE looked at a commercial rooftop HVAC unit known as the "Daikin Rebel," made by Daikin Applied -- one of the winners of the DOE's Rooftop Challenge manufacturers to create a rooftop unit far surpassing current DOE efficiency standards. ( Carrier was the other winner). It's part of the DOE Rooftop Campaign, which promotes energy-efficient rooftop units. Nearly 40% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the United States come from the design, construction and operation of buildings. Typically, rooftop units use up a significant amount of the 18 quadrillion BTUs of energy the average commercial building burns each year. report that showed that the U.S. could reduce its non-transportation energy consumption by nearly a quarter (23%) by 2020 and save $1.2 trillion by just by maximizing energy efficiency. The landmark report called a focus on energy efficiency, particularly in the commercial building sector, low-hanging fruit in achieving significant cuts fast in greenhouse gas emissions. All existing rooftops adopting the winning Rebel model over the next decade would be like taking 700,000 cars off the road or shutting down eight coal-fired powered plants each year, said the DOE scientists who conducted the Rooftop Challenge study, Srinivas Katipamula and Weimin Wang. "There are great gains waiting to be made in energy savings using technologies that exist today," said Katipamula, whose research was supported by DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, in a press release. Comparing the Rebel's efficiency to models in operation today using simulation software, they found it would cut energy demand by 15% in Chicago, 37% in Houston and 36% in Los Angeles -- and cut energy costs by 33%, 44% and 45%, respectively. The model even exceeded new energy reduction regulations and outperformed newer, efficient units that meet current regulations by several percentage points.

I bet you didn't know that Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V lets you export your virtual machines -- wait for it -- while they are running. In prior Windows Server versions, you could export VMs, but you had to shut them down first, which meant your virtual server's applications were down, too.
You might export your live VMs to grab a quick backup of VMs or to archive your VMs because the export option contains the entirety of the virtual machine, including configuration information, for use as a quick-and-easy import for other servers. For example, you could use this feature to quickly create a parallel environment in a lab sandbox for troubleshooting and testing.
[ Read J. Peter Bruzzese's primer on using PowerShell. | Stay atop key Microsoft technologies in InfoWorld's Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
The export process is simple: Selecting your VMs, right-click, choose Export from the contextual menu that appears, and provide the path for the exported VMs. Yes, you can use a network share for your location or plop it into a cloud-based folder like Dropbox.
What if you want to have this all happen automatically? Automation in Windows Server means using PowerShell, so I started looking for a PowerShell cmdlet to make the export happen. It exists, and logically enough, it's called Export-VM. If you want to export a VM named DC1 to a folder on the F: drive called Backup, you would type
Export-VM -Name DC1 -Path F:\Backup.
If you want to export all the VMs on the system, you would type:
Get-VM | Export-VM -Path F:\Backup. You might even put that command into Notepad and save it as VMBackup.ps1 (the .ps1 filename extension is necessary for Windows Server to recognize it as a PowerShell script), so you could run it easily again. If you saved the PowerShell script to a folder called Scripts in the C: drive, you could just navigate to the folder and type
.\VMBackup.ps1 to execute that VM export. Or you could schedule your VM export script with the Task Scheduler.
Why stop there? What if you wanted a daily or weekly export, plus a monthly export for offsite backup? I kicked this idea around, and once I realized I was in over my head, I contacted my good friend Jeff Hicks, a multiyear Microsoft MVP in PowerShell. I wanted to start simple, with four weekly backups each month and a monthly report to be stored in a Dropbox folder. I wanted the script to create the folders using time stamps and to delete any folders older than four versions ago, so only the latest four backups are kept on premises. For the monthly backup archived to Dropbox, I wanted to keep only the last two: the current month's and the previous month's.
I expected this to be a one-line script, but I was naive. Hicks came back to me with an amazing script that he's allowing me to share with everyone. They don't call him Professor PowerShell for nothing! (That script is saved as a .txt file so as not to trigger antimalware, so be sure to change the filename extension to .ps1 after downloading or saving it so that Windows Server sees it as a PowerShell script.)
The script creates the folders, checking for existing ones and deleting the older ones, and exports the VMs. Note that you need to indicate the location where you want the exported VMs to be placed (in the current script, they are sent to c:\work\export).
In the script, Hicks notes, "I'm using a technique called 'splatting' that passes a hashtable of parameters to Export-VM, which makes the code easier to read. And because exporting can take a long time, the Export-VM cmdlet has an –AsJob parameter that creates a PowerShell background job. My script allows you to pass that on. Otherwise, PowerShell will wait until the exports are finished before you get your prompt back."
Hicks went one step further and wrote up a PowerShell scheduled job to execute the script (located at the bottom of the script as a guide for you to create your own). I was curious why he took this direction when he could have expected admins to use scheduled tasks (which can also be created using PowerShell). The reason: Some features in scheduled jobs aren't available in scheduled tasks. When the output is important, the better choice is the scheduled job. You can find the scheduled jobs at
I'm pretty happy with the export options for running VMs in Windows Server 2012 R2, and I'm even happier that I've had a chance to play with PowerShell, build some simple commands and scripts, and benefit from Hicks' expertise to get even better ones to share with you.
If you have any solid examples you would like to share with other readers, please discuss them in the comments.

K-1 sent me a poster from the last (probably) K-1 Finals (2010), signed by all the fighters that took part that night. Overeem, Aerts, Schilt, Saki, Ghita etc, etc.
It's a big poster, but was sent from Japan in a smallish envelope rather than a tube, so it has been folded twice and is creased in places. Still, there's no actual damage and it'd look fine in a frame or after being flattened out under a rug for a day or two.
I don't have anywhere to hang the bloody thing, and I think it's criminal that it's sat unappreciated in my store cupboard. If anyone is interested, please make me an offer!

I love this cleanser, not only does it remove every bit of makeup but seriously does quick damage control if I feel a break out coming on. I suffer from cystic acne and blackheads. I love the litmus test cleanser, toner, and moisturizer; I use the cleanser and toner at night followed by retinol, in the morning the ain't misbehaving cleanser in the morning with the litmus test moisturizer after.... my skin has never radiated more than now. Also helps cut down on the excess oil I make which keeps my makeup on longer!

When I was in my teens I never had any acne. Then, I moved from the moderate, cool temperatures of Seattle to the hot, humid South. My skin was not happy. After trying countless products without any positive results, I found myself at ULTA yet again, looking for anything! I'm so glad the DERMAdoctor rep was there! She recommended the litmus test line to me, which I use religiously!
The cleanser had my skin clear and glowing within 2 weeks! I've had this bottle now for about 4 months now and I'm only about halfway through it! (You only need a pea-sized amount!) You can also use this as a chemical peel by rubbing it into dry skin and letting it sit for about 10 minutes!

After using the Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Facial Cleanser and seeing good results I was encourage to splash out the extra $ for DERMAdoctor after a glowing review from an Ulta employee who had been using this product for years.

e21 M10 Rocker Arm Replacement via Distributor
I am the 2nd owner of a 1982 320i with less than 80k original miles on it. This car is my daily driver and withstands a 30 mile roundtrip commute for me. This is a bit more of a rudimentary car than my previous e30's that my father and I used to do minor mechanical work on. So I am forging my own after a 15 yr absence from the BMW community.
While on the highway last week, I suddenly lost compression and noticed a "cah-tink tink tink" sound coming from beneath the hood. I was able to get the car and myself home and the following morning went about diagnosing the issue.
I opened the oil cap to find a the adjuster portion of the rocker arm sitting on my cam shaft. I went about dismantling the case cover and discovered that the rocker arm closest to the crankcase (8th valve in sequence) had snapped clean off. I read this was a more common problem for the M10 engine, and hope to eventually replace all 8 of the rocker arms with a stronger gauge arm than OEM later this year.
I am trying to avoid having to replace the head gasket, as I had this job done last summer, and most of the lower end rebuilt as well for quite a chunk of change. This would also be a bit out of my comfort range. My original plan was to dismantle the distributor and housing and slide the lower rocker shaft towards the cabin of the car to remove the broken rocker arm and install the new one.
While I'm waiting for a special order distributor gasket to come in, I'm beginning to doubt that this whole process will work without me having to take off the head.
Anyone have any reason to believe this will or will not work? All the threads I'm readng involve a snapped rocker arm in the middle of the sequence, but not in the same position as the one that is broken on mine. Again, I don't want to dismantle the head or have to take the crankcase, radiator, etc off.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I do have a Chilton's repair catalogue as well as the Haynes specific to my car and have found them both useful up until now.

I came to LWC in 2007 after working several years in
pharmaceutical R&D and manufacturing quality control and
management. Also, while working for "corporate America" I
taught part-time at the University of Cincinnati and Somerset
Community College. Many reasons drew me to LWC, the top 3
include: 1.) the familial, close-knit setting 2.) the
determination to help every student 3.) the support
from co-workers, we work as a unit.
A few of my interests include church, family, friends, and
traveling (I have many others). I am very active in my church
(Sunday school & VBS teacher & Women's Ministries) to name
a few. I spend a lot of time with my family and
friends. I am very close to my family-they are very important
to me. I have a large family and we fellowship at every
opportunity. My friends are close to me and we enjoy spending
time together. I have traveled quite a bit and truly enjoy
the experiences. I look forward to traveling more.
My classroom is set-up for students to learn the content, as
well as, learn more about themselves. I encourage and welcome
class discussions/participation. It is my goal for each
student to gain knowledge and expand on their dreams and
goals. I particularly enjoy seeing how my students have grown
over the semester/year; this is very rewarding for me. Here
at LWC it's every student, every day.

Enteric cytopathic human orphan (ECHO) viruses are a group of viruses that lead to gastrointestinal infection and skin rashes.
Nonpolio enterovirus infection; Echovirus infection
Echovirus is one of several families of viruses that affect the gastrointestinal tract collectively called enteroviruses. These infections are common. In the US, they are most common in the summer and fall. You can catch the virus if you come into contact with stools contaminated by the virus, and possibly by breathing in air particles from an infected person.
Serious infections with ECHO viruses are less common, but can be significant. As many as 1 in 5 cases of viral meningitis is caused by an ECHO virus.
You may not have any symptoms. Symptoms depend on the site of infection but may include:
Because the illness is often mild and has no specific treatment, specific testing for echovirus is often not done.
ECHO virus can be identified from:
ECHO virus infections almost always clear up on their own. No specific medicines are available to fight the virus. Immune system treatment called IVIG may help patients with severe ECHO virus infections who have a weakened immune system.
Complete recovery without treatment is expected in patients who have the less severe types of illness. Infections of organs such as the heart (pericarditis and myocarditis) may cause severe disease and can be deadly.
Complications vary with the site and type of infection. Myocarditis and pericarditis may be deadly while most other types of infection improve on their own.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of any of the diseases listed above.
No specific preventive measures are available for ECHO virus infections other than hand-washing, especially when you are in contact with sick people. Currently, no vaccines are available.

Always finish strong
Trevor Halsted
Major: Biomedical engineering
Sport: Cross country
Anticipated graduation year: 2015
Hometown: Davis, Calif.
Trevor Halsted knows what being an Aggie is all about — it runs in his DNA.
The cross country student-athlete hails from a long line of UC Davis graduates. His mother, Kerry, and aunts Kathy Guinn and Kristina Neill swam for UC Davis, winning several All-American accolades throughout the 1980s.
Halsted is following — er, running — in their footsteps. In 2012, the engineering major was the Big West Men's Cross Country "Scholar-athlete of the year." He also won awards and honors from the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-West Region and the All-Big West Conference.
This year, he added yet another award to his growing collection, when the Collegiate Sports Information Directors Association named him to its Capital One Men's Track and Field & Cross Country All-Academic District 8 team.
Above all, Halsted is a strong finisher. In his sophomore season, he ran in five competitions and was the top Aggie finisher in each race; he finished sixth at the Big West Championships 8K race; he crossed the finish line at the NCAA West Regionals (10K) in 20th place; and he won the season-opening Aggie Open (6K) and finished sixth overall at the Bronco Invitational (8K).

Rockies Activate Pitchers Roy Oswalt And Drew Pomeranz From The 15-Day DL
Posted by Mike Rice
DENVER – The Colorado Rockies announced the club has activated right-handed pitcher Roy Oswalt (left hamstring strain) and left-handed pitcher Drew Pomeranz (left bicep tendonitis) from the 15-day disabled list. Both players with be available for Friday night's Rockies at Padres game at PETCO Park (7:30 p.m. MDT on 850 KOA).
Oswalt, 36, made one rehab appearance at Rookie-Level Grand Junction on September 3rd, tossing 5.2 scoreless innings vs. Ogden. The veteran has made four starts in the Majors for the Rockies this season, going 0-4 with a 7.64 ERA (17.2 ip, 15 er). A three-time All-Star, Oswalt is 163-100 with a 3.32 ERA (2230.2 ip, 822 er) in 360 career games/339 career starts with Houston (2001-2010), Philadelphia (2010-11), Texas (2012) and Colorado (2013).

Morris rejoins Sounds, homers twice
Brewers prospect comes off disabled list, drives in four runs
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com | May 18, 2013 9:35 PM ET
Professional athletes typically are not wired in a way that makes it easy to just shut down and relax for a few days.
But that's what is required of a player who suffers a concussion. Unlike a blow to just about any other part of the body, a head injury necessitates that he just turn everything off, at least for a short period.
That was the challenge facing Hunter Morris on Saturday as he returned a week after a concussion put him on the disabled list for the first time in his career. The results suggest he handled it well.
The Brewers' No. 4 prospect homered twice for the second time this year, going 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and four RBIs, as Triple-A Nashville cruised past Salt Lake, 11-0.
"You know, that was my first career stint on the DL, so there was a lot of anxiety, obviously, with a head injury. That's something I've never had before and I was a little nervous about how the outcome was gonna be," Morris said. "But I got past the anxiety, past the pressure I was putting on myself.
"I guess I could have not struck out the first at-bat," he joked, "but overall, I'd say it was a very good day."
The 2010 fourth-round Draft pick admitted to getting antsy in the first few days after the concussion.
"The doctor, he told me the less mental activity you do the faster it's going to heal. Like if you sprain your ankle, you're not gonna go out and run a 40-yard dash," Morris said. "So with an injury to the head, you're not gonna watch TV, be messing around on your phone, sending texts, reading, all that stuff. He basically told me to go and be bored.
"I wanted to come back as quick as possible, so I listened. It's tough, even sitting in a dugout and watching, you're putting yourself in situations mentally, trying to visualize everything going on on both sides of the ball, so it's tough to shut that side down, for sure."
The 24-year-old had a breakout season at the plate in 2012, hitting .303/.357/.563 with 28 homers, 40 doubles and 113 RBIs for Double-A Huntsville. He'd scuffled some in his first exposure to Triple-A this spring, posting a .220/.303/.390 line in 32 games before going on the DL.
Following Saturday's outburst, he's brought those numbers up to .238/.321/.459 with six homers and 17 RBIs. And he hopes it will mark a turning point in his season.
"I've had a couple other good games along the way. Obviously, this is the best to this point, but I think hopefully with a little bit of confidence, having the seven days off kind of got my legs back under me right now, I'm gonna try to continue to get the same feel I had at the plate tonight and carry it through the rest of the year," Morris said.
A pair of other Brewers prospects shined on Saturday, with Caleb Gindl (No. 16) going 4-for-5 with four RBIs and falling a triple short of a cycle. Leadoff man Scooter Gennett (No. 6) reached safely three times, finishing 2-for-5 with a walk and two runs scored.
"To get out there and see the production, one through nine, in the lineup makes [a big game] a lot more fun," Morris said, "when it's not just your own success but the guy in front of you, the guy behind you, the whole lineup just clicking."
The Sounds also got solid pitching as Zach Kroenke (1-6) scattered six hits over 6 1/3 innings for his first win of the season.

is coffee bad for pregnant women
Is coffee bad for pregnant women or can I still drink even just a cup a day during my pregnancy because I really love coffee and I always crave for it?
14th July 2013 02:37 AM #2
The problem with drinking coffee in pregnancy is to do with the amount of caffeine in it. This is particularly an issue if you drink coffee purchased from a cafe (rather than that made in your own home) as studies have shown that there is a huge amount of variation in the quantity of caffeine in cafe coffees. Worryingly, some single drinks of coffee have been found to contain more caffeine than the recommended daily amount in pregnancy.
You should have no more than 200mg of caffeine a day in pregnancy. Remember that caffeine is also contained in drinks such as cola and is present in chocolate (your total amount of caffeine should be less than 200mg).
The reason caffeine should be limited in pregnancy is because it has been linked to a higher risk of miscarriage and having a baby with a low birth weight. For this reason, many women choose to avoid it completely in the first trimester.
Have you considered swapping to decaffeinated coffee? It is best to avoid chemically decaffeinated coffees in pregnancy (in fact, these can be as damaging as caffeinated coffees) but instead drink coffee decaffeinated by a natural process such as the Swiss water filter process. This type of decaffeinated coffee is readily available in most large supermarkets.
Best wishes,

Hi to all,
I love drinking coffee... especially herbal coffee. How about herbal coffee? Is it safe?
1st August 2013 01:53 AM #4
My understanding is that manufactured herbal coffees are safe in pregnancy (they are caffeine free), however, you should not drink 'homemade' herbal coffees as the combination of herbs used will not be regulated.
Best wishes,

some people say yes because it has alot of caffeine but I watched the news and a doctor said that one cup is not harmful,.. so i guess it's up to you,. but ask your doctor what they think.
21st December 2013 06:54 AM #6
It really comes down to the caffeine content in the cup. The research I linked to above did worryingly show that some single coffee drinks contained more caffeine than the recommended daily allowance in pregnancy. Since caffeine is associated with an increased risk of miscarriage as well as a reduced birth rate it is wise to be careful about this one.
Best wishes,

K-State To Play Ole Miss in Big 12/SEC Challenge
K-State To Play Ole Miss in Big 12/SEC Challenge
May 14, 2013
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Big 12 champion Kansas State will host Ole Miss as part of the newly-announced Big 12/SEC Challenge on Thursday, Dec. 5 at Bramlage Coliseum.
The game will be one of 10 contested between the two leagues beginning in 2013-14 with ESPN providing coverage of all games on its family of networks. The majority of the contests are scheduled for Dec. 2-6 with three taking place outside the four-day series window due to scheduling issues, beginning with the Alabama-Texas Tech game on Nov. 14. Start times and complete television information will be announced at a later date.
"I'm excited about this new partnership between the Big 12 and SEC," said head coach Bruce Weber. "Scheduling is one of the more difficult parts of my job and to get a home game against an outstanding opponent as Ole Miss, is a real coup for our program. They had a tremendous year in 2012-13 and return one of the best scorers in college basketball in Marshall Henderson, so this will be another great test for our team."
Ole Miss is coming off one of its best seasons in school history, as the Rebels posted a school-record tying 27 wins en route to the SEC Tournament Championship and their first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 2002. Led by SEC scoring champion and league Newcomer of the Year Marshall Henderson (20.1 ppg.), the squad led the SEC in scoring for the first time in school history at 77.2 points per game. The all-time winningest coach in Ole Miss history, head coach Andy Kennedy has posted 20-plus wins in six of his first seven seasons.
This will be the fourth all-time meeting between K-State and Ole Miss and the first since 2009. The Rebels are 3-0 all-time against the Wildcats, including sweeping a home-and-home series in 2000 and 2001. Ole Miss won the last meeting, 86-74, in the semifinals of the 2009 Puerto Rico Tip-Off on Nov. 20 in San Juan, P.R. The two teams nearly met in the NCAA Tournament in 2013 with both earning bids to the NCAA West Regional at Kansas City's Sprint Center. Ole Miss tallied a 57-46 win over Wisconsin before K-State lost to La Salle, 63-61, in the second round on March 22. The Explorers then knocked off the Rebels, 76-74, to advance to the Sweet 16.
Led by 2013 Big 12 Coach of the Year Bruce Weber, Kansas State enjoyed one of its best men's basketball seasons in 2012-13, posting a 27-8 overall record and 14-4 mark in league play en route to its first-ever Big 12 regular season championship and a fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament. The 27 wins were the second-most in school history, while the 14 in league play tied the school record held by the 1958-59 team. The league championship was the 18th in school history and the first since the 1976-77 season.
The Wildcats will return eight lettermen in 2013-14, including two starters, highlighted by All-Big 12 honorable mention honoree Shane Southwell.

As the old year fades out, here's a look at Bill Morrison's beautiful and provocative "Decasia," a film entirely assembled out of carefully chosen strips of decaying celluloid. Morrison reminds us, among many other things, that movies are at once glorious illusions situated outside the normal boundaries of time and space and highly fragile physical objects, subjected to a life cycle of their own. The fine new Blu-ray edition of Morrison's 2002 film from Icarus brings his work into the digital realm, which is of course subject to its own kind of decay, possibly even more devastating in its effects than that which afflicts celluloid. No future Morrisons will be making movies of misaligned 1s and 0s. When a digital file goes, or when the technology to read it slips into obsolescence, it is gone completely and forever. It may well prove that the films of 2012 are more ephemeral than the films of 1912.
As has become custom in these parts at the end of the year, I'd like to invite everyone to submit their ten best lists, be they of new films, newly published DVDs, or older movies you've seen for the first time in these last twelve months. My next New York Times column won't appear until Jan. 7.

ALBANY, N.Y. - Nina Sarcona scored the game-winning goal midway through overtime giving the No. 17 UMass women's lacrosse team a 12-11 win at No. 13 Albany on Wednesday afternoon. Katie Ferris scored a game-high six points on three goals and three assists including the helper on Sarcona's game-winner. UMass closes out its non-conference schedule on Saturday against Siena (1 PM).
UMass improves to 8-1 on the season picking up its first win over a ranked opponent this season. Albany falls to 6-2 on the year.
The Great Danes won the opening draw control of the overtime period, but UMass forced a turnover which lead to Sarcona's goal at the 3:16 mark of the extra frame.
Jesse O'Donnell (3 goals) won the ensuing draw control and the Minutewomen were able to run the clock down to 35 seconds before Albany caused UMass to turn the ball over. After gaining the ground ball, the Great Danes called timeout and were then able to successfully clear the ball into their offensive zone. UMass was able to force a turnover with 18 seconds left allowing the Minutewomen to run out the clock for the win.
The nip-and-tuck game featured six ties and five lead changes. UMass trailed by as many as three goals twice in the first half, but were able to score a goal just before halftime and two to start the second half to pull back even.
The Minutewomen regained the lead with 5:15 to go in the second half on an O'Donnell goal, but Mel Rorie (3 goals) tied the game nearly two minutes later to force overtime.
UMass had possession of the ball for the final 3:27 of regulation, but a pair of shots in the final 25 seconds were wide and Dayna Defliese's shot just as time was set to expire was saved by Anna Berman (6 saves).
Defliese finished the game with two goals, while Tanner Guarino, Melissa Carelli, and Sam Rush all socred goals for the Minutewomen. Along with her game-winning goal, Sarcona added six draw controls.
Katie Florence earned the win in goal making seven saves.
Nichole Eamer led Albany with a pair of goals and three assists. Jess Antelmi also scored three goals to lead the Great Danes, while Rachael Burek had a game-high seven draw controls.
The Minutewomen took a 3-1 lead in the first seven minutes of play. Albany responded with five straight goals to go up 6-3 with 10:05 left before intermission.
After Defliese scored her first goal of the game to cut the lead back to two, Rorie extended Albany's lead back to three, 8-5, with 3:39 left in the first.
Ferris scored for UMass just over a minute later to pull the Minutewomen back within two and neither team was able to score again before halftime.
Carelli and Defliese each scored within the first seven minutes of the second half to tie the game 8-8. The teams alternated the next four goals before O'Donnell put UMass back up by one, 11-10 with 5:15 to go.
Albany outshot UMass 26-to-21 thanks in part to a 15-to-9 advantage in the first half. The Minutewomen had the only shot in the overtime period. UMass controlled the draw controls 17-to-10, but had seven more turnovers (12-5) than the Great Danes.

Hello to all beautiful mums and mums-to-be!!! :D
Hi! I'm April. It's great to be here in this site.
I am expecting to learn a lot here and read advises.
I read a lot of topics online regarding trying to conceive and preparing to be a mum.
I think its best to post, get advises from mums and practitioners here.
I hope to get advice and I look forward to reading more posts.
19th September 2013 08:48 PM #2
Hi April,
Welcome to the forum - I'm glad you have decided to join us on here.
Thanks for your introduction. Yes I agree that sharing experiences from other parents and health professionals is a great way to get lots of information about pregnancy, birth and beyond. Ultimately only the parents can, and should, decide what is best for themselves and their baby. Being well-informed on pregnancy and birth is key to making empowered decisions.
Please can I ask if you are planning a pregnancy for the future, actively trying to conceive or pregnant already? I have two boys - aged 11 months and 2 and 9 months. They fill all my days with joy
I look forward to reading your posts.
Best wishes,

Hi ljmarsden,
Not yet
I'm married for 4 years now, but only this year I became worried and really trying to.
I began to read a lot of topics about preparation to being pregnant, focusing on diet and health. It worries me now that I am soon turning 30 years old. They said that women when they reached their 30's are having difficulty conceiving and getting pregnant.
Any advice you can give and to all mums out there who can give me advises too.
21st September 2013 05:33 AM #4
Dear April,
Please try not to worry. You say it is only this year that you have really been trying to conceive. It is wise to have sex at least every other day when you are trying to conceive (this is the guideline given by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence).
It is considered normal for it to take up to one year of actively trying to conceive before you get pregnant. If it takes longer than one year then it is wise to see a doctor to get your and your partner's fertility levels checked.
You write that you are 29 years old - this means that your age should not stop you getting pregnant. Generally, it is only from age 35 years and older that the quality and quantity of a woman's eggs starts to reduce (unless the woman has gone through the early menopause).
There are actually only around 3 days in a month that you are fertile and can conceive. If you do not have sex during this time then you will not get pregnant even if you have sex all the other days of the month! Are your periods regular?
There is an excellent previous thread here by one of our moderators Kate about signs of fertility. Kate writes this: 'The day before and the day of ovulation, your cervical mucus will be clear and wet and it will have the consistency of egg white. You will be able to pick it up and stretch it between your thumb and fore finger and it may not break even if you stretch it 6 inches. This is when you are at your peak of fertility and sex at this time gives you the best chance of conception.'
You should start taking folic acid supplements when you are trying to conceive. There is a useful article here about Preconception Care.

Thanks a lot!
I have just read the articles you gave and its awesome. So informative and easy to understand.
Rest assured, I'll keep it in mind and apply it to myself.
But one hard thing for me is that my period is not regular. I sometimes miss 3 to 4 months period.
This might be killing the slim chances of me getting pregnant. Can this irregular period affect my ovulation? Can this be sign of infertility?

Dear April,
I'm glad that you have found this information useful.
I'm afraid that irregular periods can be a sign of fertility problems. However, this is not always the case as there are a number of factors (including stress, illness, diet and medication) that can affect our menstrual cycles. Have your periods always been irregular? Have you been on the pill recently?
There is a condition called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) which can stop a woman from ovulating/ interfere with her ovulation. I mention this because a sign of PCOS is irregular periods. It can cause fertility problems, however, with extra help many women with PCOS do go on to achieve a pregnancy so please stay hopeful even if you think you may have PCOS. In light of what you have described I would see your doctor to check if you have PCOS and to check you and your partner for any other conditions which could affect your fertility levels.
You are right - with irregular periods it can take longer to conceive anyway.
Thinking of you,

Hi ljmarsden,
Thank you so much for always replying to me.
Yes, ever since it's always been irregular. When I took pills, i had my period regularly.
But when I stopped, it became irregular again.
Yes, planning to see a doctor.
Thanks again!

WATCH: Sesame Street Writer Creates Natural Hair Anthem For Kids
A head writer for Sesame Street cooked up this skit so his daughter could learn to appreciate her own hair.
Joey Mazzarino and his wife are both white and they adopted their daughter, Segi, from Ethiopia as a baby.
"I didn't know how to take care of [her hair]. I don't take care of my own hair very well," he explained.
"Lisa Price's husband works on Sesame Street and he's one of our crew members. He would bring in stuff for me and Lisa would tell me, 'Okay this is how you do this.' My wife is an actress and if she was away I would be in charge of my daughter's hair. I made sure it looked good. Thanks to Lisa and [her husband] Gordon they taught me how to use certain products."

Apply to stay in the UK as a stateless person
You can apply to stay in the UK as a stateless person if you're not recognised as a citizen of any country.
To be eligible to apply, you must also be:
- in the UK
- unable to return to another country as a result of being stateless
If you can't return to another country because you fear persecution there, you should claim asylum first.
If you've already claimed asylum or have an outstanding human rights claim, you must wait until you have a decision. You can apply to stay as a stateless person if it's refused.
How long you can stay
You can normally stay in the UK for 2 years and 6 months if you're given permission to stay (known as 'leave to remain'). You can apply for further leave when your leave expires.
Family members
You need to include your family members ('dependants') in your application if you want them to stay with you in the UK. Your dependants must already be with you in the UK.
A 'dependant' is any of the following:
- your partner
- your children under 18
Documents you must provide
You must provide these documents, if you have them, for you and your dependants:
- current passports and other travel documents, eg visas
- official letters confirming your immigration status (with the reference number ASL.2150, ASL.2151 or ASL.2152)
- birth certificates
- marriage certificates
You'll also need to provide as many documents as you can to prove that you are stateless. You should also provide documents for your dependants if they're stateless.
These can include:
- identity, immigration and travel documents
- documents that prove where you lived before coming to the UK, eg school certificates, medical records or sworn statements from neighbours
- documents from your applications for citizenship or requests for proof of nationality in other countries
You'll find a list of documents you can include in the application form.
You must apply by post. Fill in the application form and send it to the address on the form.
You'll need to provide 2 passport size colour photographs with your application.
It doesn't cost anything to apply.
You'll need to have your fingerprints and photograph (known as 'biometric information') taken at a post office as part of your application.
You may also have to go to an interview - you'll get a letter telling you when and where you must go.
Claiming support
You may be able to get housing and money to support you and your family while you're waiting to find out if you'll be given permission to stay ('leave to remain').
Appeal if your application is refused
You can ask for an administrative review if you're not given permission to stay.
