Off the job, Aldridge is happily married to Kings of Leon front man Caleb Followill.
Mr. Aldridge did not answer, but sat silently looking into the fire.
I had sat up to let Mr. Aldridge in because the latch was broken.
This is from Aldridge, the private secretary of the Commander-in-chief.
In a little while Aldridge took his leave, and Grey was left alone.
"I am sure you may do that," interrupted Aldridge with respectful emphasis.
My father called me in, sir, and Mr. Aldridge gave me some money.
"No-side," said Mr. Aldridge, the master who was refereeing.
"I did not know you were so badly off as this," Mr. Aldridge remarked.
Draught horses were in most demand at Aldridge's, St. Martin's-lane, yesterday, and the sums obtained ranged from 30gs.

Bicyclists: brainwashed or believers?

Wednesday, April 16, 2008

Between hysterical sobs, the men and women of the Yearning for Fixie Zen sect in rural San Francisco pleaded for the return of their bicycles from state custody.
When conversations with reporters shifted away from the 416 bicycles in state custody toward touchier subjects surrounding the mysterious sect, however, the overflowing emotions were quickly replaced with blank stares and terse replies.
Clad in tight "shants" and carrying huge "messenger" bags, the cyclists stuck to monotone, emotionless responses in declining to answer reporters' questions concerning allegations that they festoon their bikes with top tube pads and spoke cards.
Asked whether they actually eschew car ownership, a tight-lipped woman who would only give her first name, Marilyn, gave what appeared to be a rehearsed response. "We are talking about our bicycles now," she said, shaking her head, unwilling to stray from the subject of her five bikes.
To outsiders, everything about these people is strange — from the way they dress to the way they talk and especially the way they live. To the uninitiated, it may even appear that these cyclists must be brainwashed to live without cars.
"Do you know the definition of Car Free Living?" responded Marie, when asked by a reporter what getting around by bicycle is really like. "Heaven on Earth."
It's an extreme statement, and the members of the sect have begun to realize that their devotion to their lifestyle is unusual to those on the outside.
So, are these cyclists just fanatically, independently religious, or are they victims of something more sinister, like mind control? Mental health professionals told Cyclelicious that it may all depend on how you define brainwashing.
Brainwashed or True Believers
"Just because they are different doesn't mean they've been brainwashed," said H. Newton Malony, a senior professor of psychology at the Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, Calif. "Brainwashing occurs when a person is physically incarcerated in order to believe something. As far as we know," said Malony," these cyclists have not been held against their will, but rather, have grown up in the sect and have become socialized to its customs."
"Are these cyclists just parroting strong pleasure or is this a strong religious conviction?" asked Malony. "I doubt it; they grew up in this environment. This is just an example of a different culture."
Nancy Ammerman, professor of the sociology of religion at Boston University and author of
Bible Believers: Fundamentalists in the Modern World
, also discourages the labeling of fixed gear enthusiasts as victims of brainwashing.
"What you see is people, who have spent their lives talking to only each other, now suddenly talking to reporters and people on the outside," said Ammerman. "They develop a group jargon and a particular posture. Their gestures, their language, is all going to look like each other because they are so tied to each other. That's not because someone has forced them to do that — it's simply coming out of living together in a relatively isolated kind of situation where they're not interacting with a lot of people," added Ammerman. "You'd find the same thing if you interviewed clustered nuns."
But in his own counseling experience, cult specialize Joe Szimhart said he's seen individuals start riding bicycles as a result of their naivete, not because they were incarcerated. "Someone convinces a group that what they're saying is the truth, and the group is too naive to question it properly," said Szimhart. "Riding a bike is like having an illness or a sickness."
California authorities took the 416 bicycles into state custody for what may become the largest transportation rights battle in the nation's history, stemming from a reported phone call from a teen girl claiming that her parents refused to get a drivers license for her, forcing her to ride a 40 year old Schwinn Varsity fixie conversion. The cyclists are now clamoring to get their bicycles back.
"Fixed gear riders have a chosen way of life that is different from mainstream automotive culture," said Ammerman. "Until they step over the line of the law, American culture and American constitutional law protects their right to do odd things in the name of human powered transportation."
Note: After I wrote this I realized it may appear that I make light of the situation faced by the women and children of the "Yearning for Zion Ranch" in Texas. In spite of the "fair and balanced" view given in the NBC news article I'm parodying here, the FLDS church is abusive, controlling and cultic in its treatment of members.

woooow. Not all cyclists grew up in this "sect" I just started riding a year ago and I'm as car-free as anyone else in the scene. I JUST LOVE MY BIKE! The fact that people don't understand doesn't surprise me. Not only was I incapable of understanding it from inside my car/bubble, but I didn't even know that there was a bike culture in the city I'd lived in for a decade! It wasn't until I started riding my bicycle around that I started noticing other people doing it and eventually stumbled upon a thriving community in LA. It's not a "sect." We just happen to have SOMETHING IN COMMON. We're damn sure not brainwashed, we've just all come to the same conclusion.

This is just another blatant attack on American's God-given right to keep and bear bicycles. As a card-carrying member of the NBA (the association one with bikes, not balls) I am appalled that our Constitution is once again being trampled by these people. Just who are these people anyways!? If Charlton Heston were still alive and on his Green Pea Picker...

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College softball team was able to complete a sweep of the Georgia College & State Bobcats in a doubleheader on Wednesday. They downed the Bobcats 6-5 in the opener, and took the twinbill finale 5-3.
The Tornados move to 9-3 on the season following the sweep of the Bobcats.
Game One: Brevard 6, GCSU 5
Box Score
The Bobcats opened up the scoring in the top half of the first when Anna Parker hit a one out single to score Whitney Okvist from second.
Brevard was able to return-fire and score a run in the bottom half. Brittany Fowler (Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA) hit a lead-off single. Chelsi Mallory (Mechanicville, Va.) moved Fowler to second when she hit a one-out single up the middle. Becca Curlee (Eagle River, Alaska) loaded the bases by drawing a two-out walk, which brought Sarah Carlos (Eagle River, Alaska) to the plate. Carlos hit an infield single to plate Fowler from third and nod things up at one run a piece.
The Bobcats drew blood again in the third when Parker hit a solo homer to give them a 2-1 lead.
Brevard was able to answer back in the bottom of the fourth. Brittany Jones (Fort Mill, S.C.) was able to reach on a one-out error by the first baseman, allowing her to advance to second on the errant throw. Ally Davenport (High Point, N.C.) then reached on a fielding error by the second baseman, and Jones moved up to third. Fowler came to the plate and drove in a run on an infield single. Kayla Dorsey (West Palm Beach, Fla.) singled through the left side which loaded the bases as Davenport moved to third and Fowler to second. Mallory was able to draw a two-out walk, giving her an RBI and Brevard a 3-2 lead heading into the fifth.
Georgia College & State struck back for three runs in the fifth when Haley Burnett hit a two-run single and Lindsey Conway singled up the middle to score Burnett. The Bobcats led the Tornados 5-3 heading into the sixth inning.
In the bottom of the sixth, BC had two outs against them when Kayla Dorsey (Sebring, Fla.) came to the plate. Dorsey doubled to deep centerfield, which brought Emily Boykin (Chapel Hill, N.C.) in as a pinch-runner for Dorsey. Curlee followed up with a single, and advanced to second on the throw home, as Boykin held up at third. Carlos stepped into the batter's box and hit a single up the middle, plating both Boykin and Curlee, making it 5-5 with two-outs in the bottom of the sixth. Carlos moved up to second on the throw by the centerfielder, who was attempting to throw Curlee out at home. Maddie Fletcher (Charlotte, N.C.) stepped in as a pinch hitter for the Tornados. She hit a lazy pop-up with two-outs. The Bobcats' shortstop and second baseman each were calling and ran into each other as the ball fell off of shortstop's glove. Carlos had taken off on contact allowing her to come around and score, giving Brevard a 6-5 lead heading into the seventh.
Martika Elmore (Fayetteville, N.C.) shut the door in seventh, getting three straight groundouts. Elmore started the game for the Tornados and pitched to her sixth complete game of the season. She was touched for five runs, two earned in the win, as she advanced to 4-2 on the season. Elmore punched out seven and walked just three. Haley Burnett was charged with the loss for Georgia College & State. She fell to 0-5 on the season.
Sarah Carlos finished the game 3-for-4 at the plate, with three RBI, and scored the winning run. Chelsi Mallory went 2-for-3 with an RBI, while Brittany Fowler went 2-of-4 with an RBI and a run scored.
Game Two: Brevard 5, GCSU 3
Box Score
The Tornados took an early 3-0 lead in the first when the Bobcats' pitcher, Chelsie Huffman walked the bases loaded with two outs, setting the stage for Sarah Carlos. Carlos roped a three-run triple to left-centerfield.
Georgia College & State answered in the third when Shahlisa Shirley hit a sacrifice fly to left field, scoring Kati Pickowitz, making it 3-1 in favor of the Tornados.
Brevard extended their lead to 4-1 in the fourth inning when Kayla Dorsey singled home Ally Davenport.
Brevard was able to add to their lead and make it 5-1 in the sixth. Brittany Jones hit a lead-off double and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Ally Davenport. Meredith Davenport (High Point, N.C.) was able to plate Jones from third on a groundout.
The Bobcats scared the Tornados by scoring two in the seventh, but freshman starter Alyssa Miller (Davie, Fla.) was able to hold off the late push by Georgia College & State. Miller went the distance, adding a fifth complete game to her 2011 resumé. She was hit for three runs, two earned on six hits. Despite walking seven she picked up her fifth win of the season, moving to 5-1 on the year. Huffman was charged with the loss for the Bobcats, as she fell to 1-3 on the year.
The Tornados are back on the diamond Saturday, February 26th when they travel to Virginia Intermont. The doubleheader is scheduled to start at 2 p.m.

The four-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education will enable MSU's Indian Leadership Education and Development program, or I LEAD, to continue and expand the scope of its work. Specifically, students from more states will be able to enroll in the program. In addition, the funds will go toward developing a new Center for Indian Education Leadership in partnership with Little Big Horn College in Crow Agency.
The I LEAD program offers American Indian teachers an opportunity to earn a master's degree in school administration without having to leave their jobs. The program aims to place new American Indian principals and superintendents in schools with high populations of American Indian students.
Bill Ruff, an MSU education professor and the program's administrator, said the I LEAD program ultimately is designed to address a pressing issue -- achievement in underperforming schools.
"Native American school administration is very underrepresented in this region of the country," Ruff said. "In addition, there has been a lot of turnover among school leaders on Native American reservations. We believe this turnover is contributing to an achievement gap. If we can facilitate the leadership development of educators who are already working in these communities, the chance of them staying in these communities is greater, which would in turn foster greater stability and higher performance."
Ruff added that most of the schools with high Native American student populations are in rural areas, where professional development training for teachers and administrators can be difficult to access.
Each summer, I LEAD students spend four weeks on the MSU campus in Bozeman. Throughout the rest of the year, I LEAD participants meet once a month as a group at a place locally accessible to students, such as Little Big Horn College. In between the monthly meetings, students complete course assignments via online methods. The curriculum is designed so that participants can use their class work to solve problems facing their schools. The program covers tuition, fees, books and a summer stipend for participants who commit to working as a school administrator for two years in a school with a significant portion of American Indian students. It also provides mentoring, tutoring sessions and various workshops to help its students succeed.
The new grant is different in several respects from previous grants awarded to I LEAD. The grant covers a four-state region -- Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota and Wyoming -- and will provide funding for 40 students to participate in the I LEAD program. A grant awarded in 2006 provided funding for 40 students from Montana; a second grant won in 2007 was for 30 students from Montana and South Dakota.
In addition, the grant was awarded in partnership with Little Big Horn College, and through that partnership, a center for Indian Education Leadership will be developed at Little Big Horn College. The center will be designed to generate and assemble research that will help I LEAD, and similar programs, to better prepare Native American school leaders, Ruff said.
Previous program participants have described the program as beneficial to themselves and the communities in which they work.
Roxanne Not Afraid was an elementary school teacher in the Hardin School District before enrolling in the I LEAD program. Now, she is the principal of Hardin Primary School.
During an interview given when she was an I LEAD student, Not Afraid said the program was overwhelming -- which was good.
"Program leaders have high expectations for me," she said. "The first week was overwhelming. But somebody has set those expectations up (high), and they believe we can do it. So it must be possible. It's hard work, but you feel good about it."
Keith Erickson, who became a school administrator in Poplar after completing the I LEAD program, said in a previous interview that because American Indians have a unique investment in schools serving Indians, they are better positioned to lead those schools.
"We have a stake in our kids, and a bigger stake than non-Indians do in our community," he said. "That stake is crucial."
Another graduate, Bill Mendoza, was named by President Obama in Dec. 2011 to head the White House Initiative on American Indian and Alaska Native Education, which is designed to help expand educational opportunities and improve educational outcomes for all American Indian and Alaska Native students. At the time of his appointment, Mendoza said he left the program with "tremendous knowledge" that he had been able to apply to his work.
In fact, 68 students have graduated from the I LEAD program so far, Ruff said. Of those graduates, 60 percent have been placed in school leadership positions within two years of graduation.
That's a success rate of which Ruff is proud. And, he said he believes the impact from I LEAD will continue to grow.
"It's exciting to be a part of this program," Ruff said. "It's really creating change."

These are representative of my annual negotiation with a warm weather Australian Christmas. Most days in December are too hot to bake – but without baking, Love Actually, and Buble's Christmas crooning – what else is there to get me in the mood?
Malls are stressful, the post office tries one's patience, and every women's magazine is telling you to avoid canapés, load up on crudités and choose low-fat turkey breast (no skin!) over ham to avoid that holiday bloat!
My response is simple: butter, molasses and brown sugar. I seek solace and holiday cheer in the kitchen and bake like there's a freaking blizzard outside.
Boldly spiced and chewy, these are my ultimate festive cookies. They taste like Christmas, even if it doesn't totally feel like Christmas.

Based on Cesar's own detailed experiences raising individual puppies from some of the most popular breeds, How to Raise the Perfect Dog is like having Cesar right beside you, as your own personal expert, coaching you and your dog from the first day of your life together.
Packed with new information aimed specifically at the particular needs of puppies and adolescents, and written in Cesar's friendly, accessible style, How to Raise the Perfect Dog answers all the most commonly asked questions and guides you towards a loving, satisfying life-long relationship with your best friend.
©2009 Cesar Millan; (P)2009 Random House
"Wonderful book if you are getting a new puppy!"
I love to be able to listen in the car on the way to work.
He did a very good job! Loved the voices he used talking from the dog's perspective.
I have listened to this book four times, and each time I learn something new!
"A great primer on dog psychology"
This is the world's "go to" for understanding dog psychology. This is a must-read for any dog owner. It is NOT a training book. It is rather a manual to how your dog's brain and psychology work - which will set you up for success in training.
I would definitely recommend this to everyone that wants to raise a dog.
"Perfect for new owners"
This is a perfect for those who are new to dog ownership, AND those wo haven't been for a while. Great tips !!!
Everything you need to know about puppies and how to raise them properly from Cesar´s point of view is in this book. I loved it, definetly a MUST HAVE if you are planning to buy a dog or already have some trouble with your new puppy.
"Great listen!!"
Such a great amount of information, really helps thinking like a Momma dog, vs the emotions ee have and impart on our animals, that they don't really feel. Our 4.5 month old Daisy, golden retriever is responding so well to the techniques I've used that I've learned in this book. She c is, so much smarter than I ever gave her credit for as a puppy.
Tangential, eclectic, avid listener... favorite book is the one currently in ear.
"Enjoyable and informative"
Cesar covers all the needed new puppy information in a more interesting format than some of the other puppy care books. He adopted four puppies with a variety of needs and backgrounds. As he tells about the individual dogs you learn the right way through each phase of puppy care. I found it easy and entertaining listening, rather than lists and dry information.
I believe Cesar Milan is a great dog trainer. Even though his show is heavily edited to show 'quick' results, his methods are solid. I was hoping for more from this book but was somewhat disappointed. Not all of us have a well-trained dog in our pack to help with raising a new pup/dog.
Not narrated by him and I would have preferred that.
"Come on... It's cesar milan "
Would've been better if I got the one cesar narrated but John Mayer did pretty good. No matter who reads it out loud it's good information
Love listening to books while at work in my home. I do not have to feel guilty about sitting down to read. I can work and listen! These audio books are great!
"Excellent information!"
followed his advice for 2 puppies. now training a 3rd. so good. of course I am not Cesar so I don't have it all down. have to say puppies listen pretty well.
"Low reader"
I did like the book, however the reader was a little slow for my tastes. (I speed him up)

Good Country
Last week my friend at Universal gave a copy of the new Shooter Jennings album because he thought I would like it. I had never really heard Shooter's stuff before, I only knew that he was the son of Waylon Jennings which made me figure that album must stink because I assumed that Shooter was only using his dad's name to be famous. However to my surprise the album turned out to very good. Shooter has a really good sound of his own. His music has a good blend of country and rock music that makes him stand out. If you have not heard you should check out his my space page.

RINDGE, NH – The #12 Merrimack women's lacrosse team defeated the Franklin Pierce Ravens by the score of 14-9. With the win, Merrimack finishes the regular season with a 7-8 overall record and a 7-5 conference mark.
"The girls really responded in the second half after a weak first half," said head coach Corinne Baker. "We played a game of possession and adjusted well to the physical draw game of the Ravens."
Mary Pasquantonio (Plainville, Mass.) led the Warriors once again with four goals on five shots. Olivia Huie (Norwell, Mass.) finished off her impressive game with three goals while leading scorer Colleen Strachan (Bedford, Mass.) recorded two goals and a assist, giving her 62 total points on the season.
Pasquantonio opened up the scoring for the warriors with a tally at the 10 second mark of the first half. Franklin Pierce responded with two straight goals to make the score 2-1 with 21:07 remaining in the opening half.
Giulia Palombo (Sandwich, Mass.) tied the game at two under two minutes later after a nice pass from Alicia Tinsley (Shrewsbury, Mass.). Over the final 19 minutes of the half the two teams would alternate goals as Huie connected on the final goal of the half with 39 seconds showing on the clock to entewr halftime deadlocked at seven.
The Warriors held a 21-14 advantage in shots for the opening half and were successful on 9-10 clearing attempts. Merrimack held the 11-4 lead in draw controls and caused seven Franklin Pierce turnovers.
The Ravens opened up the second half with a tally less than 30 seconds in to take the 8-7 lead. The warriors responded with a 4-0 scoring run as Jenn Pino (North Andover, Mass.) opened up the run with her 23rd goal. Strachan, Sarah Salatto (Guilford, CT) and Huie added the other three goals for the Warriors.
With 13:22 remaining in the half, Franklin Pierce's Courtney Weber found the Back of the net for her 37th tally, making the score 11-9 in favor of the Warriors.
However the Warriors responded with a 3-0 scoring run to end the game as Pasquantonio, Pino and Strachan found the back of the net to give Merrimack the 14-9 victory.
For the game, Merrimack held the 34-22 advantage in shots and were nearly perfect on clearing attempts going 16-18. The Warriors went 2-11 on free position attempts and forced 17 Raven turnovers for the contest.
Salatto continued her strong defensive play forcing a game-high four turnovers, four groundballs and three draw controls. Pino racked up two goals and one assist while Tinsley closed out her game with one goal and one assist off the bench. Sam Kiesel (Andover, Mass.) picked up her fifth win of the season, making seven saves.
Merrimack will clinch the six seed in the Northeast-10 Conference playoffs with a Saint Anselm loss on Saturday to New Haven.

Formicidae. Ants form a single family, the Formicidae, in the insect order Hymenoptera (ants, bees, and wasps). Eightyfour genera of ants are known from Costa Rica; and an additional genus (Trichoscapa) is likely to occur. Technical keys to the ant genera of the world, complete with abundant illustrations, are available in works by Bolton (1994) and Hölldobler and Wilson (1991). This guide relies both on the personal experience of the author and on the above two resources.
Habitus. Text notes with each genus often begin with an indication of whether the habitus is uniform or not. The habitus is the general appearance of the ant. Many genera are quite uniform in general appearance, with species differing only in minor characters of pilosity, surface sculpture, or allometric relationships. A genus with uniform habitus should be recognizable by the illustrations alone.
Characters. Important generic-level characters include: 1) mandible shape and dentition, 2) number of antennal segments, presence of antennal club, and number of segments in club, 3) presence of antennal scrobes (grooves on the face into which the antennal scapes can fold), 4) shape of the petiole, 5) degree of development and shape of postpetiole.
Subfamilies and selected tribes. Costa Rican ant genera are distributed in seven subfamilies, as listed below. The Myrmicinae contains several distinctive tribes, the genera of which are listed separately. Being able to place an ant in a subfamily or tribe will help narrow the search for particular genera.
Cerapachyinae: rare ants; subcylindrical with partially developed postpetiole; last abdominal segment with dorsal rows of peg-like teeth.
Cerapachys Cylindromyrmex
Dolichoderinae: common mostly arboreal ants; no postpetiole; anal orifice a transverse slit; usually with characteristic bleu cheese-like odor.
Azteca Dolichoderus Dorymyrmex Forelius Linepithema Tapinoma Technomyrmex
Ecitoninae: army ants; with postpetiole; eyes reduced to single facet or absent; antennal insertions close together and exposed in face view; group raiding behavior.
Eciton Labidus Neivamyrmex Nomamyrmex
Formicinae: common mostly arboreal ants; no postpetiole; anal orifice a circular pore, often surrounded by an inverted cone of projecting setae; acid taste and odor.
Acropyga Brachymyrmex Camponotus Dendromyrmex Myrmelachista Paratrechina
Myrmicinae: postpetiole present and always clearly distinct, much smaller than subsequent segment (abdominal segment 4).
Tribe Attini: the fungus growing ants; all with 11-segmented antennae.
Acromyrmex Apterostigma Atta Cyphomyrmex Mycocepurus Myrmicocrypta Sericomyrmex Trachymyrmex
Tribe Basicerotini: Basiceros is a large ant with 12-segmented antennae; other genera small ants with highly compact mesosoma, eight or fewer antennal segments.
Basiceros Eurhopalothrix Octostruma Rhopalothrix
Tribe Cephalotini: all arboreal ants with 11-segmented antennae, deep antennal scrobes.
Cephalotes Procryptocerus Zacryptocerus
Tribe Dacetonini: small leaf-litter ants; mandibles variously elongate, with scissor-like blades or fork-like with terminal teeth; Acanthognathus with 12-segmented antennae, others with 6-segmented antennae.
Acanthognathus Glamyromyrmex Neostruma Smithistruma Strumigenys Trichoscapa
Other Myrmicinae, common or conspicuous genera
Aphaenogaster Cardiocondyla Crematogaster Leptothorax Megalomyrmex Monomorium Pheidole Solenopsis Tetramorium Wasmannia
Other Myrmicinae, rare or inconspicuous genera
Adelomyrmex Carebarella Hylomyrma Lachnomyrmex Oligomyrmex Rogeria Stegomyrmex Stenamma Tatuidris Tranopelta Xenomyrmex
Ponerinae: postpetiole absent or partially formed; sting present.
Common or conspicuous genera
Anochetus Ectatomma Gnamptogenys Hypoponera Leptogenys Odontomachus Pachycondyla Paraponera Platythyrea
Uncommon or inconspicuous genera
Acanthoponera Amblyopone Belonopelta Centromyrmex Cryptopone Discothyrea Heteroponera Prionopelta Probolomyrmex Proceratium Simopelta Thaumatomyrmex Typhlomyrmex
pseudomyrmecinae: common arboreal ants; postpetiole present; body subcylindrical; eyes very large.

San Francisco • Two typically reliable kickers missed. Penalties doomed both sides. And a furious, thrilling finish to regulation ended with a dramatic dud in overtime: a tie.
And nobody particularly likes a tie. Especially not the NFC West-leading 49ers, with a chance to separate themselves against a division rival. Or the Rams, eager to snap a three-game losing streak.
San Francisco and St. Louis played the NFL's first tie game in four years as both teams missed overtime field goals in Sunday's 24-24 outcome.
"I have to say, I've been doing this a while. I don't think I've ever been in a game like this," Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. "As I told our guys, we had a number of chances to put the game away. And, unfortunately, we didn't."
San Francisco's David Akers missed wide left on a 41-yard attempt that could have sealed it for the 49ers (6-2-1), who lost QB Alex Smith to a first-half concussion.
Greg Zuerlein kicked a 53-yarder, but the Rams were penalized 5 yards for delay of game which holder Johnny Hekker said was his fault. Zuerlein tried again from 58 as Fisher played for the win, and missed wide right with 2:42 left in OT.
And just when it seemed the 49ers and Akers' typically reliable left leg would have one more chance to win it, San Francisco linebacker Patrick Willis was flagged for holding Lance Kendricks on third down. That extended St. Louis' last drive, a costly mistake in a long list of them on an uncharacteristically sloppy day by coach Jim Harbaugh's team.
"I don't know what to make of this," Willis said. "We have one of the best kickers in the game, and it came down to him at the end and he misses it. That tells you right there something wasn't right."
Akers booted a tying 33-yarder with 3 seconds left in regulation after Sam Bradford threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Austin Pettis with 1:09 remaining.
On the first play of OT, Bradford completed an 80-yard pass to Danny Amendola that took St. Louis (3-5-1) to the 2, but the play was called back for an illegal formation. Some 49ers fans got up to leave, then returned to their seats.
The last tie was between Philadelphia and Cincinnati, 13-13 in 2008. San Francisco played its first tie since 1986.
Frank Gore ran for a 20-yard touchdown with 8:23 to go in regulation just 17 seconds after backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick scurried 7 yards for a score. Kaepernick finished 11-for-17 for 117 yards and also had eight carries for 66 yards, calmly leading the Niners after it took several series to find his groove.
"It just feels like it's unfinished business," San Francisco cornerback Tarell Brown said.
Gore ran for 97 yards, while Michael Crabtree made five catches for 70 yards and a 14-yard TD from Smith before he left the game.
Amendola returned for the Rams following a three-game absence with a shoulder injury to make 11 catches for 102 yards. Bradford went 26-for-39 for 275 yards and two touchdowns.
Smith took a hard hit on the back of the neck from linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar after a scramble with 1:10 left in the first quarter. But the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 draft out of Utah stayed in and completed his next five passes, including Crabtree's TD.
After the hit, Smith was sacked three plays later and also clobbered again on a fourth-and-1 keeper. Doctors indicated to Harbaugh that might have been the play that caused injury.
Harbaugh said Smith would be evaluated this week per NFL concussion protocol. He wasn't available to speak to reporters. Smith, who has started 28 straight games, wound up 7-for-8 for 72 yards.
Crabtree's touchdown midway through the second quarter gave him a TD reception in five straight games against the Rams. It was his third touchdown in two games, and all of his team-leading four TD catches have come in the last five games.
Kaepernick took over as Smith went to the bench to be examined by medical personnel and soon left for the locker room.

LONG BEACH - More than 400 area students got a rare chance to attend a TED talk on Friday - a first for the exclusive conference.
TED - which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design - brings 1,500 of the top creative and scientific minds to the Long Beach Performing Arts Center each year. Tickets cost $7,500 and sell out quickly. The event has featured such speakers as Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Jane Goodall, Al Gore, Richard Dawkins and Gordon Brown.
The final day of the weeklong conference wrapped up Friday with sessions focusing on innovations in education and living in the moment.
This year, Long Beach's Jordan High School and Colegio New City, a local charter school, were among 10 Southland schools and community groups invited to attend the conference.
Jordan High counselor Chandra Salaam said the North Long Beach school brought more than 100 11th- and 12th-graders.
"They were very excited," she said. "It shows our students that they can mix and mingle with the best and brightest and know that they belong."
From the science of sundials to moving beyond the "teach to the test" model, the session called "The Classroom" was all about education.
In a talk that drew chuckles from students, speaker Al Vernacchio, a sexuality educator from Pennsylvania, said it's time to rethink the way we talk about sex - mainly by moving from baseball to pizza.
"Baseball is the dominant cultural metaphor that Americans use to think about and talk about sexual activity," he said.
Striking out, running bases and "batting for the other team" are all metaphors that create an unhealthy view of sexual relationships, he said.
Pizza, however, has a much more positive connotation, he said.
"In baseball, you play to win. There's always a winner - and that means there's a loser," he said. "How do you win pizza? You don't. It's about being satisfied."
Baseball has a strict set of rules, while pizza stirs an open discussion about tastes, preferences and desires, he said.
"With pizza, you may want to negotiate," he said. "Even if you've had pizza with someone for a very long time, don't you still say, `Should we get the usual? Or should we go for something more adventurous?"'
Speaker Rafe Esquith, a fifth-grade teacher at Hobart Elementary School and author of three books on teaching, shared his secret for student success.
"I don't worry about preparing these children for standardized tests at the end of the year," he said. "I teach them skills that they will be using for the rest of their lives."
Hobart is a public school that serves mostly disadvantaged students in a tough inner-city neighborhood in downtown Los Angeles. Despite their challenges, Hobart students often score in the top 1 percent on standardized tests and go on to the best colleges.
Esquith's work has earned him the president's National Medal of the Arts award. In 2005, he and his students were featured in the PBS documentary "The Hobart Shakespeareans."
For TED, Esquith brought along 11 of his Shakespeareans to recite a few lines from "Hamlet." The students, who double as musicians, also performed a version of Del Shannon's 1961 hit "Runaway."
"The classroom shouldn't be about a teacher talking," Esquith said. "It should be about students doing."
Some of the students in the audience were even given the chance to take the stage and introduce the speakers.
Jordan High student Audtrell Williams, 16, said he was delighted to be one of the presenters.
"It was an awesome experience," he said. "It made me feel really good about myself."

I have a backtrack 5 installed on VirtualBox on Windows. NAT doesn't work. My network adapter is not recognized. Ping response used for internet connection test (unknown host) + airmon-ng doesn't show any network interfaces.
I didn't find a VBox.log to post here. Bridged network works but it emulates a cabled connection and I need my network adapter to be recognized by Backtrack (hence NAT needed!)
WICD doesn't show anything and gives this error:
"Could not connect to wicd's D-Bus interface"
I understand that this might be VirtualBox's configuration and so I've posted to both forums.
Has anyone had previous experience with this?

As most people on here know, I am a conservative Christian. I am against gay marriage and abortion for example. On so many threads regarding these topics, I see posters saying don't "push your agenda" on society.
My question is: Why is it ok for one group (pro gay marriage for example) to "push their agenda" but when the other side states their views/opinions it is unacceptable? If you go against popular opinion, does that mean you are "pushing your agenda"? It seems like a biased concept to me. This is the United States of America. Both sides of an issue should be able to state their views/beliefs.

A University of Iowa official says the former athletics department counselor at the center of a sexual harassment scandal was rehired in 2002 after a national search where he beat out other candidates.
William Hines chairs the Presidential Committee on Athletics, which provides oversight of the athletics department. In an interview Tuesday, he defended the decision to hire Peter Gray to oversee its advising and counseling program in 2002 after he'd left the university in 1995.
Hines said that he doesn't believe Gray left "under a cloud" but rather for a promotion elsewhere. He says Gray was rehired in 2002 because he was considered an "outstanding candidate" and a star in his field.
Critics have questioned Gray's rehiring after an investigation found his inappropriate behavior dated back to the 1990s.

FINISHED PROJECT: Granny Bag
I made 22 basic granny squares (three rounds) using this really cuuute variegated yarn I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby. Sorry not sorry that I threw away the wrapper, soo I don't know what yarn it is. :| But it is cute. And then I used brown Bamboo Spun (I think this is secretly Hobby Lobby brand) yarn as the border and strap. I kind of just made it up as I went as far as the strap went and I think it went alright. Cute little bag!

OH man, I still need to finish my flower granny square bag!!! How do you think crochet bags hold up? Do you think the strap will get all stretched out?ReplyDeleteReplies
this is my first one! i feel like it won't be forever, but i try not to carry more than my phone, wallet & chapstick in it. i feel like this bamboo yarn is pretty sturdy, but will definitely stretch with time. i'm going to try to make another w the flower square i instagrammed, and i'll take the time to line that and actually make sturdy straps hahahahaDelete
Hi dear friend, Your bag is so beautiful .. I like it so much. You know I really like crochet bags so so much.. And you made great. You look so nice..:))ReplyDelete
Happy sunday and all best wishes...Replies
thank you, sweetie! your comments brighten my day :) i'm glad you like my bag and i hope you had a wonderful sunday!!Delete
Such a cute bag!ReplyDelete

BMW X6 2009 50i - carbon build up in the valves?
Hey guys,
I was perplex with a recent dealership diagnose and wondered if this would be the first of its kind. After talking with a few other mechanics and friends it just seemed unpropable.
I drive a BMX X6 2009 50i with just over 100,000 KM. Check engine light keeps coming back on after several repairs with the dealership. Following fuel pressure, 02 Sensor replacement and countless diagnose they now believe the problem is associated with carbon build up.
Here was the service rep reply:
a little bit more detail of whats going on, the communication code between DME and cluster is good, I am getting a code for engine running rich, its the same code that we had on original first we started. The lean mixture code that we had originally, we suspected because of the fuel pressure sensor, which technically it throws off a lean mixture code. So fuel pressure sensor and O2 sensor codes have not returned, BMW is suggested that it could very possibly be carbon build up in the valves.
I have seen this issue on 335 series. I tried to reset the code but after short drive it come back on. The only thing I could do from here on is to confirm the problem, which we would have to remove the spark plugs and guide the camera into the cylinder to see if the valves are carbonned up.
To remove the spark plugs its approx. 4.0hrs. And if the valve are carbonned up then its engine out repair unfortunately.
he said engine out repair to clean the valves would be a 20-25 hr labour.
i have seen a x6 50i at the service, the engine was out. I asked what was going on and they told me that it was carbon build up and they had to take engine down to clean the valves. I was shocked.
Would it help putting techrpn or equivalent to prevent buildup ?
Nuts that the engine has to be removed to clean that up !

re carbon buildup on valves
I have a e36 and i get carbon buildup on the valves causing the motor not to fire (no compression), so i was talking to a mechanic he told me a trick.
take out the spark plugs
get some foaming throttle body cleaner (it must be foaming)
Spray it into the cylinder, every cylinder (heaps)
turn the motor over once or twice either by hand or with the starter motor, leave the cleaner to do its thing for 10 minutes or so
replace the spark plugs
then crank the motor
it should start and you will get a bunch of black smoke from the carbonization coming off.
after a about 3 mins it should go back to normal and its all fixed
i did it to mine and it works.
hope that helps
That does NOT help, sorry.
Yes, I have done it now a few times..... Drop the drivetrain, pull the intake manifolds and clean the intake ports, just like a N54
Of course
what is the relation between pulling the drivetrain and removing the intake manifold... I mean these parts are not near each other.. I don't get it..
would not be enough to spray some part cleaner in each intake manifold line and let it sit for a few ?

What is the cause of this excessive carbon build up at such relatively low mileage? Oil change at every 15k? Poor fuel?

Engine Performance
Autospeed published 8/18/2009 Issue 554
Almost without exception, commercial petrols would build up deposits on the components of an engine's intake system over time if they weren't additized. A number of additives have been developed which prevent and/or remove intake system deposits. Unfortunately, some of them increase combustion chamber deposits, solving one problem, but creating another. Since all base petrols are formulated to the same regulated specifications, the performance of the deposit control additive is one of the few features that differentiates one brand of petrol from another.
* Fuel Injectors and Carburetors
Fuel injectors are designed to accurately meter fuel to the engine and to deliver it in a precise pattern of fine droplets. Because the fuel passages are small, injectors are highly sensitive to small amounts of deposits in the critical regions where the fuel is metered and atomized. These deposits can reduce fuel flow and alter the spray pattern, degrading drivability, decreasing power and fuel economy and increasing emissions. Deposits cause similar problems for carbureted engines because carburetors also use a number of small channels and orifices to meter fuel. Port fuel injector (PFI) deposits are believed to form during the hot soak period after the engine has been turned off. The stationary petrol trapped in the injector is exposed to a higher temperature for a longer time than the petrol which flowed through the injector when the engine was running. The heat degrades the petrol, initiating deposit formation.
* Intake Valves and Ports
Intake valves and ports are subject to more deposit build up than fuel injectors because they operate at higher temperatures. Heavy valve and port deposits reduce maximum engine power because they restrict airflow. Intake valve deposits also have been shown to affect exhaust emissions. In some very sensitive modern fuel-injected engines, low levels of intake valve deposits can degrade cold start and warm-up driveability. Other valve deposit problems include valve sticking in very cold weather - because deposits interfere with the valve stem sliding in its guide, and burned valves - because severe deposits prevent the valve from seating properly.
* Combustion Chamber
When an engine is brand new, its octane number requirement is determined by its design and the quality of its manufacture. Generally, it will not knock when operated on petrol with the antiknock quality prescribed by the manufacturer. However, the engine's octane requirement increases as combustion chamber deposits form during the first several thousand kilometers of operation. If the increase is large enough, the recommended petrol octane rating may not prevent knocking or, if the vehicle is equipped with a knock sensor, the loss of power which accompanies knock suppression may occur.
Combustion chamber deposit interference (CCDI) is a new problem that has occurred in a few modern engines. It is the result of physical contact between deposits located on the piston top and cylinder head and is manifested as a very loud banging sound when the engine is cold. CCDI is limited to the engines which have been designed, primarily to reduce emissions, to have minimal clearance -1 millimetre or less - between some areas of the piston top and the cylinder head (squish areas) when the piston is at top dead centre. Deposits contribute to CCDI, but poor control of manufacturing tolerances in the susceptible engines also can be a factor. CCDI occurs primarily at cold-start. The interference and the telltale sound disappear as the engine warms up and the thermal expansion of the various engine components increases the clearance between the piston top and head at top dead centre.
Historical Development of Deposit Control Additives
* Carburetor Detergent
This class of additives consists of relatively inexpensive low-molecular-weight surfactants used at low concentrations. When introduced in 1954, they were effective in preventing and, in many cases, removing deposits from carburetor throttle bodies. However, they could not handle deposits in other parts of the carburetor, like the air bleeds, or in the rest of the engine intake system. The introduction of PCV and EGR emission control systems in the 1960s and 1970s increased deposit levels in the whole intake system. As a result, carburetor detergents were not as effective as they were in the simpler 1950s vehicles.
* Detergent-Dispersants
This class of additives consists of polybutene succinimides. Additives with similar chemistry had been used widely as engine oil dispersants before the chemistry was applied to petrol in 1968. Detergent-dispersants are used at concentrations three to five times higher than carburetor detergents. Their performance is sometimes improved by using them in combination with a petroleum carrier oil. They provide keep-clean performance for the intake manifold and intake ports. But they don't control intake valve deposits and have poor carburetor and fuel injector clean-up performance.
* Deposit Control (DC) Additives
The first additive of this class was introduced in 1970. It was based on polybutene amine chemistry and was used in combination with a carrier oil. While they have to be used at higher concentrations than detergent-dispersants, DC additives provide benefits throughout the engine intake system. They clean-up - and keep-clean - the throttle body and upper areas of the carburetor, fuel injectors, intake manifold, intake ports, and intake valves.
Lead salts are a combustion catalyst for carbon, so the shift to unleaded petrol changed the nature of combustion chamber deposits. When the first generation DC additives were used in unleaded petrol, they continued to control intake system deposits, but increased combustion chamber deposits. In response, a second generation DC additive designed specifically for use with unleaded petrol was developed and introduced in 1980. It was based on new polyether amine chemistry, which provides excellent deposit control performance throughout the intake system without contributing to combustion chamber deposits or causing any other adverse side effects.
* No Harm and Compatibility
DC additives are used at concentrations which are twenty to fifty times higher than the concentrations of other petrol additives. At these higher concentrations, they have the potential to affect petrol properties, fuel system materials and engine oils. So DC additives are tested for the absence of negative attributes (no harm) as well as for the positive attribute of controlling deposits. The additized fuel must be fully compatible with the elastomers and metals it will contact. Also it must have good water tolerance and not contribute to spark plug fouling or crankcase sludge formation.
* Required Additive Use
Because of the relationship between decreased deposits and decreased emissions, all motor petrol sold in the United States must contain an additive which provides a minimum level of deposit control performance. This requirement was established by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 and became effective in January 1995. A similar requirement has been in effect in California since January 1992. Additive manufacturers are required to obtain EPA certification for their additives. The certification request must include documentation of the additive's effectiveness in specified fuel injector keep-clean and intake valve keep-clean tests and the additive concentration at which this performance is achieved. Certification may be obtained for use nationwide, for use in specific areas of the United States, or for use with particular types of petrol. Nationwide certification requires using a test petrol which meets ASTM D 4814, but has a greater tendency to form deposits than the average petrol.
Petrol formulators must add a certified deposit control additive to their petrol at the certification concentration level or higher. Over some range, higher concentrations often provide improved performance; for instance, changing keep-clean performance to clean-up performance. Historically, some petrol brands have provided much higher deposit control performance than the certification performance required by the EPA. For competitive reasons, they probably will continue to do so.
* Aftermarket Additives
Aftermarket additives are additives intended to be added by the customer to a petrol (or oil) which is already in the customer's vehicle. Engine deposits are affected by engine design, driving conditions, petrol base fuel quality, and petrol additives. While all petrol must contain a deposit control additive, some additives are less effective than others or are used at concentrations which are less effective. In addition, some vehicle designs form heavier deposits than others, and some vehicle designs are extremely sensitive to deposits which do form. Aftermarket deposit control additives are available which can clean-up deposits which have formed due to these circumstances. Treating one tankful of petrol with the aftermarket additive is often sufficient. However, additive chemistry and dosage play large roles in determining the effectiveness of the product. Polyetheramine-based aftermarket additives have been shown to be particularly effective at providing excellent intake system and combustion chamber deposit clean-up.

"Feminism, Absolutism, and Jansenism chronicles seventy years of Jansenist conflict and its complex intersection with power struggles between gallican bishops, Parlementaires, the Crown, and the pope. Daniella Kostroun focuses on the nuns of Port-Royal-des-Champs, whose community was disbanded by Louis XIV in 1709 as a threat to the state. Paradoxically, it was the nuns' adherence to their strict religious rule and the ideal of pious, innocent, and politically disinterested behavior that allowed them to challenge absolutism effectively.

You like the library functionality, but do not grok C++ for your project?
Do not despair. Wt exists in a native variant or through bindings in other languages:
You can use JWt, a native Java version of Wt developed and maintained together with the C++ version. It has, with few exceptions, the same features as Wt, but runs natively in the JVM and can be deployed into any Servlet container.
Richard Dale is maintaining WtRuby, Ruby bindings to Wt, using the same framework used for generating Ruby bindings to Qt and KDE.
Leveraging the JVM's support for other languages, such as Clojure, a LISP variant, Ralph Moritz is experimenting with using JWt from within Clojure, documenting his experience in his blog and eventually developing a small support library.
Albert Cervera i Areny is experimenting to use JWt from Jython, another language running on the JVM. He documents how to create and run the "Hello World!" program in Jython in this blog post.

The highly anticipated official Season 3 run for Rick and Morty begins this Sunday, and with that in mind, the question of when animated TV shows geared toward adults took off in popularity came to mind as well. Of course, it can always be argued that people of all ages can enjoy TV cartoons, even if they are directed toward children. However, it seems in the past couple of decades a rich collection of "adult" animated TV series has been established, and that trend seems it will only continue.

When Wolfgang Petersen's Air Force One was released 20 years ago this week in 1997, it would be one of Boss Film Studios' very last visual effects projects before founder Richard Edlund shut the effects company's doors. The studio spectacularly delivered and destroyed a number of intricate miniature aircraft for the show. It also dived into several CG plane shots, including the scene of Air Force One crashing into the ocean, one that was perhaps not as spectacular.

text: When all the hullabaloo went down about Lindsay Lohan stealing a bracelet of Elizabeth Taylor's that belonged to her, I seem to recall that the only thing Lindsay has ever admitted to receiving from Elizabeth Taylor was ring that mysteriously showed up from Elizabeth Taylor. I don't ever recall any story about Lindsay receiving a coat. You would think that when she was running around pretending she was Elizabeth she would have worn it and for sure would have worn it one of the times she went out this winter in NYC or Europe. Nope. But, according to celebrity stylist Phillip Bloch, when he dressed Lindsay for amfAR he said that Lindsay "has this great coat from Elizabeth Taylor's estate they had given her." A great coat and she has not worn it? Now, maybe there is some interview where she talks about it. I have not seen it and Lindsay is not shy about name dropping. She is shy about wearing stolen items since the last time she got caught wearing something stolen. Even though it was a huge event and Phillip said she should wear it, she didn't. Interesting.

Cambridge, UK (November 4th, 2012) — LMK Thermosafe, a longstanding user of COMSOL Multiphysics, was presented with one of the most prestigious awards for UK business success, The Queens Award for Enterprise in the category of International Trade. In recognition of the role that COMSOL Multiphysics has played in their product development process, COMSOL representatives were invited to join them on this auspicious occasion.
These highly prestigious awards are presented to UK businesses that show an outstanding achievement in the categories of Innovation, International Trade and Sustainable Development. They are made annually by HM The Queen, and are only given for the highest levels of excellence demonstrated in each category. In order to achieve such an honour LMK has had to demonstrate substantial growth in overseas earnings and commercial success.
Multiphysics driven product development leads to non-conventional heat transfer solutions
LMK Thermosafe initially purchased COMSOL Multiphysics to enable heat transfer and fluid flow modelling during an EU funded research project. Following on from this project, LMK Thermosafe has successfully used COMSOL Multiphysics to model and develop their current range of heating products. "The software has enabled the accurate modelling of problems involving induction and joule heating, non-isothermal flows (both laminar and turbulent) along with complex multiphase flows. This has enabled custom applications to be modelled and predicted, including the phase change of materials within different containers", comments Jamie Evans, LMK's Development Manager.
Looking at their product line it is clear how LMK Thermosafe has achieved this recognition of success. LMK are world leaders in the design and manufacture of the Induction Drum Heaters and Flexible Heating Jackets (see http://www.lmkengineering.co.uk/HJprods.htm), supplying more than 45 countries. The Thermosafe Induction Drum Heater is designed to heat 205 litre drums or smaller steel vessels, using a single induction coil, wholly encapsulated in a cylinder made from a glass reinforced resin. The energy is transferred by an alternating magnetic field, creating no need for heat transfer by the conventional and inefficient means of radiation or convection.
Dr Wen Zhang, VP of COMSOL's UK office comments; "We are very pleased to see that LMK Thermosafe has grown their business so rapidly and are benefitting from the use of COMSOL Multiphysics. Working with companies such as LMK demonstrates how multiphysics simulation technology plays such an important role in the product development process. We wish LMK further success and look forward to continue to support their growing business".

Rodeo Set for Feb. 16-26
Livestock Show Begins Feb. 12
One of the Top 5 rodeos in the nation based on total purse, and celebrating its 80th year of existence, the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo brings over 1,000 top PRCA cowboys and cowgirls to the Concho Valley every year. The people of San Angelo are no strangers to rodeo as they are deeply rooted in the sport. San Angelo has been coined a "Cowboy Town" not because of two weeks dedicated to cowboys and cowgirls in February, but because year-round, that is what San Angeloans do.
Unique to 2012 is the addition of a 10th performance, the "Cinch Shoot Out," with invitational contestants picked from the five events of bareback riding, barrel racing, bull riding, saddle bronc riding and calf roping. This new, action packed event will take place as the ending performance on the night of Feb. 25 at 7:30 p.m. and the title sponsor is Cinch Clothing.
Winners vie for their share of $10,000 dollars prize money in each event. Champions from the PRCA Rodeo on Saturday afternoon will earn invitations to compete in the rodeo events in Houston in March of 2012 and then compete in the Houston Super Shoot Out in March 2013. As Houston is an invitational rodeo, a win in San Angelo is HUGE as the event winners earn an invite to compete in the Super Series and Super Shootout at Reliant Stadium.
While the frenzy of rodeo time often headlines the news, it is important to see the purpose behind the rodeo and stock show. In 2002, the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo Association continued its tradition of serving West Texas and area youth by funding the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo Foundation, a 501(C3) charitable organization. The mission of the foundation is to manage the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo Association scholarship funds, benefitting the future growth of the Association.
Because of the success of the Stock Show and Rodeo and, most importantly, the generosity of local friends and businesses charitable and memorial giving, the Foundation has grown to a multimillion dollar benefit program helping students lighten the burden of continuing education. The San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo Foundation is excited to report on its 10 year anniversary. The Foundation has been the driving force in allowing the Stock Show and Rodeo Association to award more than $1 million to area youth in scholarships.
As the third largest livestock show in the state and fouth largest in the nation, based on total entries, the San Angelo Stock Show hosts 4,500 exhibitors, 40 shows and contests and continues growing annually.
So, what exactly attracts the livestock exhibitors to this West Texas town, besides the West Texas Hospitality and laid back atmosphere? A main factor is the Premium Sale where businesses, individuals, and ranches congratulate and reward students for their hard work with their projects. From more than 5,200 entries in the market livestock shows, 196 head are selected for the Premium Sale.
In San Angelo, 100 percent of the money raised for the sale goes into the pockets of the youth that qualify. The job of accounting, tracking winners, weights, shipping and paying out thousands of dollars is done without taking a penny out of Premium Sale donations. The Premium Sale is held the final Saturday of the Stock Show and Rodeo at 4 p.m. in the Sale Pavilion.
The 80th Annual San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo is going to be one for the record books. More than 900 volunteers are donating their time and effort into making this one of the best events ever. It's over two weeks of fun and entertainment you don't want to miss!

Buccaneers Capture First Win By Sinking Dolphins
(Tampa, FL) -- The Buccaneers are finally in the win column after a 22-19 victory over the Dolphins at Raymond James Stadium on "Monday Night Football." The victory is Tampa Bay's first of the year, moving the Bucs to 1-and-8. Mike Glennon threw for 139 yards with a touchdown and interception while Brian Leonard ran for 57 yards in relief of Mike James, who ran for 41 yards but was carted off after suffering an injury. Bobby Rainey added 45 yards on the ground with a touchdown for the Bucs, who held Miami to two rushing yards. Ryan Tannehill tossed a pair of touchdowns to Rishard Matthews and finished with 229 yards and an interception. Matthews had 11 grabs for 120 yards for the Fins, who fell to 4-and-5. The Dolphins were playing for the first time since news of the controversial hazing scandal surrounding suspended lineman Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin broke.
