I am considering getting some new clubs ... my putter WILL NOT CHANGE, it has been incredible for me since I bought it in the 80's, however I find myself looking at getting new technology and therefore new clubs. I have found that my png-like clubs (especially irons) have given me the comfort, confidence, spin and height to give me full enjoyment while playing golf. I can see getting Titleist Driver and Fairway Woods ... the differences are more distance than feel ... however, what would the difference be in irons. especially 5 through 9. I still use my Pitching Wedge for closer than 9 iron, and am quite effective just off the green, so not quite ready to give up 3 and 4 irons. I guess I'm asking about spin on Titleist irons, I realize (especially after my home course altered the greens last year in order to make long term improvements) that hit and run is important, but whenever possible, I prefer hit and stick on approach. Any advice?

The Png driver and fww have flatter lie angles. Distance wise, my 910F out hit a G10 17F.
I'm one of those that is of the "if it isn't broke don't fix it" school. I have a TM Burner 2K7 HT Draw driver, Callie Steelhead III 9 wood and White Hot 7H putter with no intent to change them
I played with a set of Eye 2 irons (blue dot) for a year before switching to AP1s. They are pretty close in lie angle to Titleist standard. difference is the lie angle separation between clubs is .75* for png and .5* for Titleist.
I used a SM c-c 50-08 because it worked better than the Eye 2 W.
AP1 irons are one club stronger vs the Eye 2s (the AP1 P is 45* and the Eye 2 9 iron is 45*). Have to keep that in mind when evaluating distance but I hit an AP1 8 iron about 5 yards less than an Eye 2 7 iron.
They both stick greens pretty well.

Thanks for the input Lou. I also feel if it ain't broke don't fix it, but as I said, I need to get a little more up to date with some of my equipment, you have definately given me something to consider when comparing, thanks.

Go to a demo day with your irons in hand. Hit some new irons on a launch monitor or trackman. If your clubs are from the 80s, chances are your grooves have worn down a bit...you might be losing a little spin but I'd think it would be neglible. In addition, steel shaft technology has improved since the 80s.
I'm willing to bet you'll see performance improvements in the new irons. You will definitely see an improvement in feel...I guarantee it, particularly if you try a forged iron.

Thanks Ben, sounds like great advice. Looks like I might be on the course this weekend or early next week. Our Pro Shop has both Titleist and png, so I am looking forward to a comparison. At this point I am thinking Titleist woods, png Irons, and maybe keeping my old 1 Wood Wally. Trying them out with the Pro who is also known for his club fitting is something extra I am looking forward to this season.

You are not going to find clubs that match exactly to your current irons.
Try them all.

Any of your clubs more than 4 years old either are not optimal anymore or have enough face wear that it could be time to change. Putters are very personal, so if you like the feel, you shouldn't change it. I don't have a Scotty for 2 reasons. I'm LH and none of the face balanced putters are provided and I'm dialed into my current putter.
I had a used set of png irons that weren't quite right. At the end of the fitting, the G20 and AP1 were both tweaked for length and lie (the AP1s are stock a 1/4 inch longer, and that was a better fit for me). All else was equal, so it came down to how it fit my eye. The AP1 won that one in that the sole wasn't as noticable. The price was close enough that it was not a factor in the choice. To some extent, pro shops can make up the difference.
And if the current are more than 4 years old, you'll need to pay attention to the loft. Titleist hasn't joined the "longer wars" by lowering the loft to the point that a 3I is the new 4I. But you may see changes. So let the fitter, your shooting and your eye for the clubs to decide. I wasn't looking to buy Titleist, but am very happy with my (almost) Titlesit bag.

I played with the same set of irons for 25 years (had a set of X31s my dad bought new in 1967; he handed them down to me in 1979 when he changed to Apex). Had the same dual wedge between 1972-2006. 3 sets of wooden woods until 2006.
It took me about 5 years to transition from steel shafted fairways and hybrids to graphite (I play with a DIY 31* hybrid with DG R300 shaft and have a persimmon 34* that I occasionally take out). I played with 975F fairways with steel shafts between late 2007 and the end of 2009. Through 2010 I played a 980F 15* fairway and two LV persimmons (5/21 and 10/28.5; I carried the 10 wood until mid 2011, when I switched to a SQ2 5/26 and played it for a year before going to 910H 27*).
I've had the same driver for 2 years now (2007 Burner HT Draw) and probably won't change until I break it. $69 at Golf Mart. $17 for a shaft shortening and new grip in mid 2012 (went to 44.5" - made the shot pattern much tighter).
I can't really justify buying a full set of irons, given that the longest one I carry is a 7 iron. I carry a DIY 31H with a DG R300 shaft.

text: This is a confusing part of HP, and I've read up on it a bit before. What I think is that there are 5 boys and 5 girls in each house for each year. So there are 5 male first year Gryffindors and 5 male second year Gryffindors and 5 female first year Gryffindors. this would equal out to 280 students at Hogwarts. Which sounds right in some places and doesn't in others. So there are the same number of boys and girls. Make sense? And maybe I am wrong.

Been a supporter of T-Ross for a while. I was the one who first put up that video of him working out for the draft. I've been watching a lot of video of him on YouTube. There is actually a lot of game footage of his team. The thing that I realize about him is that his really going to going to benefit from playing with a pass-first PG(Calderon/Nash). Tony Wroten spends most of possession looking for his and taking real bad shots
-Terrence Ross' 0.995 overall PPP ranks eighth of the 18 wing prospects, and he's doing so on the seventh-highest number of possessions per game at 16.3. Ross stands out most with his second-best 1.389 PPS on shots around the basket, though he also posted a respectable seventh-best 1.184 PPS on jumpers, speaking to his versatility. Given his ability to score efficiently as a jump shooter and likewise do so getting to the basket off the ball, Ross has a nice groundwork of skills for a role playing wing at the next level, and could use them to help find a niche early.
From DraftExpress.com http://www.draftexpress.com#ixzz1zOYUWtjd
I remember on draft night telling people to just CHILL and actually think about the pick, and the player, we just got.
Lo and behold, majority have come to accept the pick as at least not being a ridiculous reach.
TRoss can ball. And when its "Terrence Time" (as they say at Washington) in Toronto, Raptors fans are going to LOVE this kid.
("Terrence Time in Toronto" ... oh thats good. The alliteration is too perfect.)

I think many were disappointed in the pick due to the fact he wasn't mentioned very much. Part of that comes from playing for UW. Part of it because the Raptors did not make much of a big deal out of him as they did with Rivers. Fans were caught off guard. Personally, I wanted a bigger talent/name from the draft but I did follow him for the most part of last year and was pretty impressed. I posted the video in the draft thread of that lob 360 dunk (although some at the time weren't impressed - lol).
Something else I thought about regarding people saying he was too small and had to bulk up: he was the lowest body fat % at the combine with something like 3.1 or 3.2%.
T.Rex, T_DotFlight31 (his twitter handle), Ross-ome
We can also use the old TR logo for him.
If we are going for cheesy... DinosauRoss
Dissapointed in the pick BUT I believe in Dwayne Casey decision, he know's what he's doing, atleast this guy can shoot.
BC... You picked the right guy. I'm proud of youTerrence Ross
Lol I'm really n the car just chillin wit my two home boys listening to fleetwood mac
Fleetwood Mac? They were big before TR was born and soft rock at that. Interesting. But then the bowtie was too.
Acy has a pretty good sense of humour I noticed. Good vibe on the personalities of these 2.
You have to think that TRoss is just drooling at the thought of having Nash feeding him the ball for the next three years.

It's hard to be humble when you're Kanye West. But when the rap superstar met Michael Jackson, his notoriously braggadocios demeanor gave way to reveal a visibly starstruck fan awed by the presence of his idol.
According to Business Insider, West's fanboy moment with Jackson is among the revelations found in Remember the Time: Protecting Michael Jackson in His Final Days, a new book by two of the pop stars former bodyguards, Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard.
"Once Kanye saw Mr. Jackson, he was the one who was starstruck," Whitfield and Beard write in the book, which was released today (June 3).
The two were meeting about a remix of Jackson's "Billie Jean" for the Thriller 25 anniversary reissue.

"He started gushing. 'Oh my God, Mr. Jackson, it's such a pleasure and an honor to meet you. You just don't know. I'm your biggest fan. I love you so much,'" they write. "The whole time, Kanye was like a kid in a candy store. I've never seen somebody be so humble. To see him that way was surreal. Everybody knows that Kanye can be very arrogant, and here he was just amazed to be in the same room as Mr. Jackson."

Giants, Lincecum struggle in loss to Red Sox
SAN FRANCISCO -- For Tim Lincecum, evaluating the Boston Red Sox was a challenge because he didn't challenge them enough.
"It's hard to decide," Lincecum said, "because I didn't execute my game plan."Full Game Coverage
SAN FRANCISCO -- For Tim Lincecum, evaluating the Boston Red Sox was a challenge because he didn't challenge them enough.
"It's hard to decide," Lincecum said, "because I didn't execute my game plan."Full Game Coverage
By contrast, it was easy to see that Lincecum lacked his peak effectiveness. He allowed three second-inning runs that helped the Boston Red Sox cruise to a 7-0 Interleague victory Monday over the Giants, who looked mostly helpless against Red Sox starter Jon Lester.
Lincecum would prefer to omit this performance from his free-agency resume that will become widely circulated after the season. He lasted one batter into the sixth inning and yielded five runs and nine hits. As Lincecum indicated, he essentially took himself out of the game against the American League East leaders.
"More often than not, you're going to get hurt with pitches up in the zone," Lincecum said. "... The pitches that I was leaving up were middle-of-the-plate kind of up. So I wasn't really giving myself a chance to get out of anything."
Lincecum might have fared better with more effective put-away pitches. Stephen Drew and Shane Victorino singled on 1-2 deliveries during Boston's second-inning outburst. That flaw resurfaced with two outs in the fifth, when Drew drove an RBI double to the base of the center-field wall on a 3-2 pitch.
"My secondary stuff wasn't really biting the way it usually does, and the changeups were kind of rolling into the zone as opposed going down and away as they usually do," Lincecum said.
The right-hander identified the source of his struggles.
"My mechanics felt fine. It's just that my rhythm wasn't very good," he said. "The timing of my release point wasn't there. I wasn't hitting spots [regularly]. That was the problem."
Despite being tied for the National League lead with 13 losses and following a 10-15 finish in 2012, Lincecum has proven that he remains capable of being a useful starter. Since July 8, a span that includes his July 13 no-hitter at San Diego, he compiled a 1.42 ERA while striking out 47 batters in 38 innings in five quality starts. But in his three other outings during this stretch, he yielded 19 earned runs in 14 2/3 innings.
Catcher Buster Posey observed that Lincecum has improved overall.
"Without question," Posey said. "He's been doing a good job of keeping his fastball where he wants it more. When he's getting ahead, he's doing a nice job of putting guys away."
But it was Lester, not Lincecum, who accomplished that almost nonstop before an AT&T Park crowd that included a large contingent of Red Sox fans.
The left-hander dominated the Giants for 8 1/3 innings, surrendering six hits, all singles. Andres Torres collected three hits and Posey added a pair, a poor distribution that resulted in three Giants reaching second base.
"Jon was exactly what we needed," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "We needed a strong pitching performance on a night when we could use a guy to go deep in the game and he gave us just that. He wanted every intention to finish out that game, but we had agreed he wasn't going to go out and grind the ninth inning just to get a complete game."
Despite winning two World Series in three years, the Giants haven't mastered Interleague Play. They fell to 4-11 this season against AL competition, which happens to be the Majors' second-worst record in that category. Only Colorado (4-14) has been less successful.
San Francisco's struggles can be traced to offensive futility, a weakness Lester exploited. The Giants have scored just 41 runs against Interleague foes, an average of 2.7 per game, while batting .221.

According to a report from the Associated Press, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is calling for the release of three members of Pussy Riot, saying that any further imprisonment would be "unproductive."
Pussy Riot, a feminist punk collective, came to international fame after three of its members were arrested and jailed for hooliganism, a charge stemming from their storming of a Russian Orthodox church and performing an anti-Putin protest song back in February. The AP speculates that Medvedev's statement "could signal the band members' imminent release as their case comes up for appeal on Oct. 1."

This is a big problem here in the Bay Area as well as elsewhere. Have you seen the gypsies begging around town? That's only part of it.
Menlo Park Pres is to be commended for bringing this to the notice of the public. Thank you.

How does one recognize a gypsy? I do not believe I have ever seen one.
The Japanese have committed some of this trafficking in NY City. At one point, in the late eighties, some Japanese men posing as a modeling agency lured some girls from Willow Glen HS in San Jose into going back to Japan with them. one year later, one of the girls escaped and called home collect, and the whole thing was revealed.
There is a book out by an American woman who claims that the eldest son of the Sultan of Brunei kidnaps American girls to be in his harem, but the veracity of this is in question. In her book she apparently sates that these girls hope to get pregnant by him, because according to Sharia law if they do, he has to support them in luxury for life.
Currently, though, most of the human trafficking seems to occur in Eastern Europe and Africa.

Owl Monkeys are great Fathers! And they are loyal to their mates!
Tomorrow is Father's day and animals are not normally thought of as being good fathers. For most species, the mothers do most of the work feeding and nurturing their young. Owl monkeys appear to be an exception!
If there were a competition for "best father" in the animal kingdom, owl monkeys might very well win.
Why? Because father owl monkeys provide most of the care needed by their young--carrying them almost all the time, even when chased by predators. By contrast, caregiving from owl monkey mothers to their young is limited almost exclusively to nursing.
Considering the high prevalence of "deadbeat dads" and even "cannibal dads" in the animal kingdom, why--of all creatures--are father owl monkeys so attentive and protective of their young? This question is answered by Patricia C. Wright of Stony Brook University.
Wright's insights on owl monkeys are largely based on her many years of researching them in the rain forests of South America. Her research was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Wright is a renowned primate researcher and conservationist, the 2014 winner of the Indianapolis Prize--which is generally regarded as the Nobel Prize of conservation--and the author of High Moon over the Amazon: My Quest to Understand the Monkeys of the Night (Lantern Books: 2013).
Wright said that owl monkeys are not only devoted fathers, but are also truly monogamous - another rarity in the wild. An owl monkey is faithful to its mate until its mate dies. The unflagging fidelity of owl monkeys has been verified by DNA fingerprinting, similar to the type of DNA fingerprinting used in the courts to prove human paternity.
By contrast, DNA fingerprinting has revealed that many animal species that were once thought to be monogamous are really socially monogamous--meaning that a male and female form a long-term pair; mate and raise their young together; and spend time together; but may nevertheless occasionally mate with others. Owl monkeys are even more loyal to their mates than are those classic icons of love and fidelity--swans, which were recently revealed by DNA fingerprinting to be socially monogamous rather than truly monogamous.

I will be hunting elk with the Muzzleloader in Colorado this fall. I have a CVA Optima, .50 cal, 1:28 twist, with a 26" barrell. I believe the max pelletized powder that I can use is 100 grains. My question is, what bullet and bullet weight do you suggest? The Powerbelt website suggests 348 or 405 grain Aerotips, which seems heavy to me. Your input is appreciated.

" ANNUAL FAIR -beginning of October for 4 days. This year: 4th-7th Oct 2000. Chartered by Edward I in 1284. Originally it was a fair for trading and the venue was the city centre... but now it is very much for AMUSEMENT & ENTERTAINMENT, with its own venue f "
Goosy, Goosy, Gander, to the Fair shall I wander
Up and down the sideshows in a state of wonder
Here I met a hawker his cries far and wide
So I took upon his offer and climbed aboard his ride
As the autumn nights start to draw in and you feel the nip of cold air towards the end of September, many people here in Nottingham begin to whisper the words "Goose Fair".
To people, young and old alike, a hint of excitement fills the air in anticipation of one of city's much-loved events. This year, 2012 marks the 718th fair, to put it in simple terms; Nottingham's Goose Fair is one of Europe's largest, non fixed, mobile fun fairs, filled with thrilling rides, games, events, sideshows, and much, much more. For those of you who have been you will know exactly what I mean.
From the first Wednesday each October for four days well over 1 million people visit the Forest Recreational Ground roughly 1 mile north of Nottingham City centre just off the A60 Mansfield Road and Gregory Boulevard to experience the thrills and excitement of one of the city's oldest traditions and largest social extravaganzas on the Nottingham events calendar. Millions of pounds exchange hands during those few seemingly short days but to the citizens of Nottingham and the surrounding area it is worth every penny.
At precisely 12.00 pm on Thursday 4 October 2012 in the company of the Sheriff of Nottingham, and other civic dignitaries, the Chief Executive and Town Clerk will read a Proclamation and the Lord Mayor will perform the Silver Bells ringing in ceremony before he/she "Walks the Fair" to officially open the much loved Nottingham Goose Fair.
What, I hear you ask makes the Goose Fair so special? Well to the people of Nottingham it is not just a fun fair, it is tradition, a memorable occasion, a place to see and be seen, excitement, thrills, fun and games and an all out brilliant excuse to have a good time. The fair evokes memories of childhood with the cacophony of sound from music, engine noise, screams from the rides, hawkers calling you to come and try their ride, a dazzling display of millions of lights, rich mingled aroma of food and the delightful taste of candyfloss and toffee apples and hot dogs.
But this is no ordinary fair its roots go back to the thirteenth century, if not before and is referred to as an established fair on the Feast of St Matthew in Edward I charter in 1284 and first mentioned by name in publications 1541.
Showman from all over the country travel to the city bringing their amusements and rides joining in the large assemblage on 18 acres of sporting pitches and park and ride car park with the fringe fair area along the side streets.
There are over 95 different rides and moving experiences for all ages including old favourites and many new attractions. This year some of the expected rides and thrills are Tsunami Roller coaster, making its first appearance at Goose Fair and that is already erected and hurtles you through of twists and turns. The Reverse Bungee that catapults you over 100 feet into the air although you will not get me on that. The 120 feet high, Big Ben Drop Tower where you ride to the tops and are dropped over 100 feet. Wild Water Rapids which is white water rafting up a 36 feet before shooting down a slide to crash into rough wild waters at the bottom. The Crazy Shake that will shake your bones until they turn to jelly. There are returning high-speed favourites such as Matter Horn, Frisbee, Hard Rock, Obiter, and Chaos for the thrill seekers amongst us all. Many of the traditional rides like the Carousel, the dodgems, the ghost train, and the house of fun, Helter Skelter, Swinging Chairs, waltzes, merry go rounds and everyone's favourite The Big Wheel (It has been known to have two wheels side by side on occasions).
There are over 200 games and stalls calling out to you to have a try to test skills and luck these attractions are my favourites, I prefer the sideshows to the rides, There is hook a duck, roll a penny, bingo, penny arcades, hoopla, tombola, darts, coconut shies, and many other sideshow games. Here you can also find a plethora of food stalls catering to many tastes including, a mixture of foods from all over the world. Many favourites are be found there, chips, hamburgers and hot dogs, candyfloss and toffee apples, nougat and brandy snap, Grantham Gingerbread, coconuts, cock-on-a-stick, Nottingham's infamous hot mushy peas and mint sauce served in little round dishes with either faggots, or pies and gravy or as I like them on their own. Also are an assortment of seafood stalls offering mussels, prawns, crab stix, cockles and other marine favourites and not overly expensive.
Fringe Fair sees attractions, gift and novelties stalls with all those cheap little, games, toys the kids love booths and fortune-teller caravans where you can always find the "Authentic Gypsy Rose Lee or Gypsy Rosa" line along the side streets surrounding the recreation ground.
Preparation for this years fair began by the city planners in November last year only weeks after the previous event, booking the rides and stalls and organising ahead the transport facilities and security. The plots for the attractions have been marked out since August and during the last week the big rides, began setting up. I passed by yesterday and the large roller coaster is almost completely erected as is the Wild Water Rapids and this year looks to be one of the biggest fair the city has seen.
Goose Fair has been immortalised by Nottingham born author Alan Sillitoe in his books Saturday Night, Sunday Morning that was later turned into a movie with Albert Finny. Alan Sillitoe's Nottinghamshire book: where he returns to his birth county to revisit the places of his youth, and in the 1955 movie 'A woman for Joe' the story of a fairground midget who falls in love with a local woman.
In the thirteenth century the Goose Fayre was far different from what we see today, to put it quite simply it was at that time an autumn market held in the Old Market Square. Guildsmen and traders erected makeshift stalls to ply their trade or sell their wares from cheeses, hams, bread and other food stuffs, farmers built pens holding the animals herds and geese in flocks, fat and ready for slaughter. Much of the produce was local and sold at the times where people stocked up for the coming winter. It is unknown exactly where the name originated but one favourite belief is from the geese farmers in the fens of Lincolnshire and Norfolk who drove their flocks of geese to the fayre in time for the feast of St Matthew and the up and coming winter celebrations.
However as the years passed the fayre began to change, along came the minstrels and tumblers, the jugglers and the punch and Judy shows, acrobats and unusual animals turning the then 12 day market into an annual entertainment event. Comedians, clowns, dancing bears, bearded ladies were often seen and Madam Tussaud brought along her an exhibition from Wax Work Museum. However, the development of railways people did not have to travel so far to buy their stocks for winter and slowly the market side began to dwindle and the duration was reduced to 3 days.
The fair began to adapt even more, with the development of steam power provided by large musical traction engines, steam-turned merry-go-rounds started to appear, along came novelty spectacles, cages of wild beasts never seen before in this country, theatrical wonders and entertainment and slowly the autumn market turned into a fun filled social event. With the advent of electricity attractions like pictures shows and the "new-fangled" camera obscurer, catapulted the fair into the 20th century. The rides became faster and bigger more sophisticated, noisier, more thrilling and the showground attractions became busier and larger until when in 1929 the fair needed to be moved to its present location, directly one mile north.
My memories of Goose Fair as a child are a muddled but I do remember my Mum taking my younger sister, brother, and I at night. I recall how we pushed our way through the crowds holding on to each other making our way weaving through the throng of stalls selling such heavenly delights as candyfloss and toffee apples. The ground beneath our feet was soft with the rain from the previous night and smell of the food and the diesel generators that powered the rides filled the air. The rides whirled around with the music of Suzie Quattro with Down at the Devil Gate Drive and Sweet with Blockbuster, Rod Stewart's Maggie May, Alice Cooper and School's Out and many other hits from the 70's.
There were side shows attractions as 'Tiny Tim', 'Britain's Tallest Man' the two headed horse or the boxing booths and the wall of death where a motor bike rider raced his way around a small circuit with graduating walls until he was almost riding around the lip of the circuit. I remember the roll a penny game with the bright red painted slope and holes at the bottom where you hoped to win a prize if it went the right hole.
Handling three growing children with the cries of "Can I go on this? Can I have that?" and trying to keep us all together so none of us would stray was a trying time for my Mum that I am sure she couldn't enjoy the occasion herself but I hope I have made up for that when I have taken her in the years since. Thanks Mum for a great childhood.
Last year I took Mum and my friend and his son on the Saturday morning of the 2003 fair and we walked around taking in the atmosphere watching the little one have fun on the rides and just enjoying the event and watched how the site slowly became busier and busier.
Memories are there of being jostled around on the roundabouts with the clanging of bells and tooting of whistles and my face becoming sticky by eating candy floss as I gazed around feeling a thrill flow through me at all I saw that even today I cannot forget and I still feel that thrill when I see the fair. It is crowded with thousands of people, I don't care. It is noisy filled with screams and throbbing music, I don't care! The flashing and whirling lights from the rides blind you and make you dizzy, look, I just don't care!! The smell is a mixture of food, heat, and generators, I DON'T CARE!!!! This is Goose Fair; I am here to have fun. I want to ride on the Big Wheel; I want to play hoopla and darts. I want to eat hot dogs and hot peas and get sticky with toffee apples and candyfloss. I want to have a good time.
I know it sounds daft but Goose Fair brings out the child in you perhaps that is why it has lived and I do mean lived as long as it has. At night when the fair is in full, swing the air around pulses with life almost as if the showground is a being in its own right. The generators throb through the ground beneath your feet almost like a beating heart, the music and screams from the rides vibrate through you, the unique aroma from the different smells are like a heady perfume and the whole makes it special.
Held annually from the first Wednesday of October for 5 days. Please note the dates vary each year.
Admission is free but all rides and games are chargeable.

Nottingham's Goose Fair is one of the largest travelling fairs in Europe and has now been going for 717 years! Originally, the fair was used for trade, instead of entertainment but it is now more well known for the mass of rides that it brings with it and it also used to be held in the Market Square. This year, 2011, the fair ran from 5th - 9th October and it is now held at the Forest Recreation Ground.
Although I had been to the recreation ground previously, I didn't quite realise just how much land there was. As I got off the tram, the whole site was lit up from the rides and stalls and it was all I could see. At the entrance to the fair, the smell of fair food hit me instantly and I remembered why I used to love places like this as a child.
Before even going on any rides or playing any games, my friends and I wanted to get a good feel for what there was here, being the first time for a few of us. I was amazed at the amount of rides there was to choose from and also how big some of them where. I think I was expecting all of the rides to be quite mild and tame but as soon as I saw the bungee ball, I knew that I was in for something else entirely.
The prices of rides varied depending on what they were. The children's rides were obviously the cheapest but I didn't really pay much attention to what the actual prices were. The majority of the adult rides cost either £2.50 or £3 which wasn't too bad at all. I was definitely expecting them to be more expensive. Luckily, I had also remembered to buy the local newspaper a couple of days beforehand so I went to Goose Fair armed with a load of 50p off vouchers which helped.
After getting a good feel for the grounds and the rides, it was time to come up with a plan and decide what we were going to go on first. Starting off small seemed to be the best idea to get us all in a proper fair mood. Well, I say small but the first ride was the Runaway Train which had previously been at American Adventure and is one of the largest rides to ever be used by a travelling fair. I say this is small because for me it was. It wasn't too insane and there weren't that many twists and no upside down points on it. Goose Fair is home to a range of other rides though and most of them are expected ones like the waltzers, dodgems and ferris wheels! I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie so the bigger and faster the better in my eyes but my friends definitely do not share my enthusiasm. We did go on one or two more exciting rides that pretty much just threw you around upside down but they weren't fans of these at all.
As well as the rides, the fair hosts a whole range of games for the whole family from hook a duck to the Kentucky Derby which I used to love as a child so I made sure I had a go on this. Although the games were quite averagely priced for a fair, I do think they are a rip off considering what you can actually win so I tend not to bother with them much. The staff on these stalls though do a wonderful job of getting visitors to get involved and it makes the fair a much louder, more exciting place.
A fair would just not be the same without a host of food stalls that are nothing but bad for you! Available to eat are burgers, chips, candyfloss and hot dogs among a range of other foods like doughnuts, kebabs and noodles! All I had though was a cone of chips which cost £2 and a bag of doughnuts which were £2 for 4 which is a little bit expensive but I didn't care! It isn't often at all that I get to go to a fair so I didn't mind splashing out a little bit especially as it only comes around once a year. Also, Nottingham seems to have this thing about mushy peas so you can get these here in a little pot with mint sauce but I have never had it so can't comment on why they're so popular.
Overall, my first experience of Goose Fair was fantastic. A great night out with great friends and some great rides. I will definitely be going again next year.
Nottingham Goose Fair comes to us every year in October.
The fair is held on the Forest Recreation Ground, just off Mansfield road. It is pretty easy to spot, if you are heading the right way, all you have to do is look out for the rides! This year it was open from Wednesday 6th - Sunday 10th October.
Every year, there seems to be some rumour of a big gang war at the fair, I haven't been for years as there is always a story after the fair that someone was beat up or killed. I would much rather stay in and be safe, than go somewhere where something bad always seems to happen!
However, last night, my boyfriend managed to drag me along with him!!
We went in a group of 8 and I soon decided that we wouldn't manage to stay together all night. It was so busy that we were trying to walk around in crowds of people and we could hardly see what was going on around us. If you have little children this would be an absolute nightmare as everyone seems to turn ignorant and not bother looking around!
Surprisingly, we managed to stay in a group all night, only getting lost once!
My boyfriend and I took £50 between us to the fair and returned with £15.
We went on three different rides, which cost £4 each per person. At £8 a go, for both of us, I felt like we were being completely robbed! I had to put my foot down in the end and tell him we couldn't go on anymore rides!
Not only did the prices on the rides seem to go up, but everything else seemed to be more expensive than usual. I went to the fair 2 years ago and a bag of candy floss was £1, my boyfriend brought me a bag last night which cost him £2! I know it's only £2 but to raise the price so much seemed crazy to me!
Also, the game stalls, hook a duck etc, are usually £1 a go. Yet last night we paid £3 for a game of hook a duck. AND when we had hooked our duck, the woman didn't look on the bottom to see what we had won and told us one win was a certain range of toys. I then saw a sign that said '1 go = 1 win, 2 goes = 2 wins etc'. Where's the fun in playing if you know you have to play six times to win something decent?!
The food wasn't too expensive, I think we paid around £2.50 each for a burger. However, we did seem to go to the cheapest stall.
Overall, I do think the Goose Fair is a complete waste of money, I only went because I was talked into it. I know it's tradition and people go because it only comes once a year and it's really exciting, but if you want to go on rides and have fun go to Alton Towers, you will save so much money!!
I had an enjoyable night but I'm still not a fan.
Goose Fair is a Nottingham Tradition and has been held for over 700 years. It was originally held in the city's Old Market Square and apparently gains its name from the hundreds of Geese that were said to be driven from Lincoln and Norfolk to Nottingham to be sold.
Due to redevelopment of the Old Market Square and the construction of the Council House the fair was relocated in 1928 to the Forest Recreation Ground situated just North of the city centre. This is where the fair resides today, and is marked with a large statue of a Goose placed on the island adjacent to the Forest Recreation Ground as soon as the rides begin to arrive. The fair always takes place on the first Wednesday in October and usually ends on the Saturday night, although this year it has been extended until the Sunday. The opening hours for the 2010 fair are listed below:
Wednesday 6th October - 5.30pm - 11.00pm
Thursday 7th October - 12 noon - 11.00pm
Friday 8th October - 11.00am - 11.30pm
Saturday 9th October - 11.00am - 11.00pm
Sunday 10th October - 1.00pm - 9.00pm
The Goose fair today is a large travelling fair consisting of over 500 hundred attractions. The rides consist of the more traditional waltzer, dodgems and helta skelters to larger roller coasters, giant wheels and water rides. Rides usually cost between £2-£6, but be warned the prices are increased in the evening and especially on the popular Friday and Saturday nights. Also if you live locally the Nottingham Evening Post daily newspaper often print money off coupons in the days leading up to the fair.
You can also find numerous stalls either selling toys, balloons and trinkets or games offering the chance to win cuddly toys. Also a large array of food stalls selling traditional fair food including candy floss, toffee apples, coconuts and brandy snaps as well as hot food. One item that has to be sampled is the local favourite of mushy peas and mint sauce!
The fair offers a fantastic atmosphere for all the family and can be easily reached from the city centre with numerous bus links and the extremely frequent tram route which stops next to the fair. I would suggest making sure you stay together at the fair, not to take any valuables and to keep cash safely hidden. Although the fair is a fantastic experience and a fun day or night out unfortunately as with any situation such as this the fair does attract some pickpockets. But do not let this put you off a great experience of one of the UK's largest travelling fairs!
Well, as it's coming up soon, I thought I'd write a review about Nottinghams annual Goose Fair . The fair itself dates back at least 700 years, and although there is no record of when the fair was first held, in 1284 King Edwards Charter makes reference to the fair being held in the centre of Nottingham.
The fair has been held every year since, except for 1646 when it was cancelled due to the spread of bubonic plague in the area . It was also cancelled during the two world wars, which makes a lot of sense as all those lights might have been a handy target for German bombers. Whilst it used to be held in the citys Market Square, in 1928 that area was redeveloped and the fair then moved to the Forest Recreation Ground, just outside the city centre, where it is still held today .
Originally, it was a market fair, where people would come to sell their Geese - however, today it's your standard travelling fun-fair !
Every year, around this time, the roundabout just outside the recreation ground becomes home to a large white goose, reminding us that the fair is coming . In the last week of september, we start to see all the caravans and rides appearingm, and going up . Excitement starts to build, and you can hear people asking each other if they are going to 'goosey' this year .
There are all kinds of rides - carousels, helter skelters, big wheels, waltzers, dodgems - all the traditional ones . There are always loads of attractions for adults and kids, loads of fast, scary, upside down rides that, I'll be honest, I'm far too much aof a wimp to go on , but loads of more sedate rides, such as the waltzers, which I adore .
There are also plenty of hook a duck, coconut shy, and ring the bottle type stalls, offering cheap cuddly toys as prizes!
For the foodies, there is a beer tent, hot dog and burger stalls, candy floss, and the famous goose fair cock-on-a-stick . Now, I don't know of any other fair that sells this - basically, a cock (of chicken kind) made of various kinds of sickly sweet material, on a stick . Utterly sickening, and will rot your teeth, but asking for a cok with a lecherous wink is a bit of a tradition now .
The fair is noisy, bright, and exciting - but it can also be a bit dangerous . If you do visit, keep a tight hold on your kids as it is always packed and so easy to get lost, and with busy main roads and a tramline right next to the site, you don't want to take that risk .
Also, be very wary of pickpockets - lots of people every year lose money and valuables at the fair to pickpockets and muggers , so I really would advise perhaps wearing a money belt to keep your valuables safe . I would also advise not taking much money with you - except for the fact that it is hideously expensive .
Expect to pay £3-£6 for rides, around £3 for a pint, and about £3 again for a burger that will probably give you food poisoning . Especially if you have children, the costs soon mount up !
The opening times for Goose Fair this year are :
Wednesday 30 September 5.30 pm - 11.00 pm
Thursday 1 October 12 noon - 11.00 pm
Friday 2 October 11.00 am - 11.30 pm
Saturday 3 October 11.00 am - 11.00 pm
I would advice leaving earlier rather than later, as buses away from the goosefair site are always extremely packed, and you may have to wait longer to get a bus home, which can be stressful if accompanied by tired children.
Sunday the 4th of October will be the day when all the neighbourhood scallys go the the fair site to pick up the coins, mobile phones, and other items that fall out of the pockets of people on the rides!
Overall, Goose Fair is something you should go to at least once - its a real sight and sound experience . But be careful of your valuables and keep a tight hold on your kids, and for the best safety, go during the day rather than at night when its incredibly crowded .
3 stars - an excellent fair, but pricey and a little dicey at night!
In 2007 I moved to Leicester to complete a three year university course. I miss Nottingham very much but there are certain things I ALWAYS make sure I'm home for and Goose Fair is one of them.
Mum and Dad used to take me to Goose Fair when I was little. However they soon got sick of the crowds and the cost so they stopped me from going and instead gave me money. I had many fond childhood memories of the fair and missed going so ever since I've been old enough, I've gone with my friends instead.
For those who live in Nottingham, the fair is bound to hold some fond memories. I remember it from when I was a child and my father remembers going when he was little also. It's been a Nottingham tradition for hundreds of years and whenever the fair comes to town, the party atmosphere is infectious. It makes me proud to be from Nottingham.
It's massive which is why it was once described as Europes biggest fair. This means there's plenty to do. Even if your don't enjoy the rides, there's plenty of fair games spread throughtout the fair, such as Hook a duck. There's also loads of food vendors offering the usual fair food from candyfloss, toffee apples and doughnuts to chips and hot dogs. This variety means that it can be enjoyed by almost anybody, young and old.
It's fairly easy to get to with easy access by car and there's plenty of trams running to the recreation ground.
The fact that it only comes around once a year may seem a disadvantage to some, but in my opinnion, it keeps the magic of the fair alive. The novelty would soon wear off if it was on more often than this.
It's not cheap. Ride prices are often raised at certain times on certain days so be sure to do your research before you visit to find the cheapest time slots. I find that on the last day, prices are raised in an effort to make as much profit as possible before closing. Opening night can also be expensive. Maybe try and aim for a day inbetween.
Ride photos and gifts are also expensive, as are foods so no matter how much money you take with you, you can find yourself running out very quickly!
It does get noisy and crowded. It's beautiful to visit at night when all the lights are turned on. Unfortunatley, many other people have this idea too so it will get crowded very quickly at night time.
The fair hasn't changed much in terms of rides for a number of years. Every year, there tends to be the same rides with many the addition of one or two new ones. This can be frustrating for those who visit ever year and want to try something different.
There's also the fact that it comes around in September/October time where weather is generally cold and rainy. There's no roof or indoor attractions so if it rains, you're pretty much stuck with it.
Roll up, roll up, all the fun of the fair! Big Wheels and rollercoasters, waltzers and dodgems, ghost trains, merry-go-rounds and helter skelters. Plus hundreds of ways to be shot up in the air, whirled around until you're sick, and then dropped like a brick. Goose Fair means childhood memories of bows and arrows, plastic swords and kiss me quick hats. (Are they still allowed?) Throwing darts at playing cards, and balls at the coconut shy. Being hopeless at hoop-la and hating those rotten cranes that pick up the prize only to drop it again. Losing all your change in the penny arcades (a bit more that a penny these days!) Your big brother shooting at cans on the rifle range, and hook-a-duck stalls where you "Win A Prize Every Time" (no goldfish these days, just gigantic cuddly toys. Ahhhh!) I was never keen on those spectacular rides. The ghost train was scary enough for me one year - I had nothing to hold on to, and nearly fell out when it went round a sharp bend! And why do people drive dodgem cars round in a circle? Turn it round, drive the other way and watch 'em all scatter! No-one's ever been in a dodgem car with me more than once... Nottingham's Goose Fair dates back to 1284, and is probably the largest travelling fair in Europe. Opening on the first Thursday in October each year, it was originally held in the Old Market Square, but in 1928 it was relocated to it's current site on the Forest Recreation Ground, about a mile north of the city centre. There are hundreds of rides, games and food stalls, but no geese these days, even though Christmas is coming and they must be getting fat! You can stuff your gob full of chips and burgers, doughnuts, and hot-dogs, pies and mushy peas. Have candy floss melting in your mouth (or shrinking in a bag) and brandy snap, nougat and toffee apples (say goodbye to your te
eth!) You can even walk round sucking a cock-on-a-stick... It's a chicken-shaped lollipop luv, honest! ____________________________________________________ Opening times: ''''''''''''''' 9;'''''''''''''''' ;' 11:00 to 23:30 Friday 5th October 2001 11:00 to 23:30 Saturday 6th October 2001 Wanna park nearby?

Goose Fair is held once a year in Nottingham. The fair consists of a gathering of some of the best rides in the country all in one big place. When you walk into Goose Fair, the first thing that hits you is the wonderful smell. If you walk down from the top road, you walk past all the stalls selling things from cheap and tacky posters to German Bratwurst sausages (yum yum). Once you enter the main fairground, the first attractions you come to are the games such as the good old frog-into-bucket, or maybe the darts is more your sort of thing? Hit a bull's-eye and win a goldfish etc etc (watch out, they all seem to die after a few weeks). After the main buzz of the small attractions, and with candy floss in your hand, you can make your way over to the big rides. Here we have all sorts from huge Ferris Wheels (which was previously the biggest in Europe) to the good old Teacups. Fares are usually very cheap, costing about £1 a ride, and no queue seemed to last for more than 5 minutes. My first time there (back in the day), I had the good old traditional mushy peas, followed by some Muscles… unfortunately my tummy was not to happy and after almost throwing up on the simulator (top quality entertainment by the way) I couldn't go on any other big rides all night! :( My advice: Save the course food for afterwards :) As the night draws to a close you can wonder back through the event, it gets less and less crowded as the night passes and you can finally walk around freely. My bad points about Goose Fair? Well the first problem is parking, I recommend you don't park too close, after all a decent walk is good for the heart, so get some exercise. I once saw a few cars being towed away for double parking, so I assume the police get pretty strict, so don't risk it. The "yobbishness" around the fair is not as bad as you would think. There are few drunkards and I've ne
ver seen any fights. However there are the few that spoil it with their hooliganism. But overall, most people there are out for a fun time, so don't let the minority put you off. My only other personal gripe is that there are no big roller coasters. I realise this isn't feasible due to the fair being a "portable" event, but still it would make the place much nicer. This isn't a substitute for the big thrill seekers, but there are still enough white-knuckle rides to make it enjoyable. To summarise, I think that Goose Fair is a wonderful event. This year the event will be held on "Thursday 4th October to Saturday 6th October 2001" as the official site says (http://www.nottinghamgoosefair.co.uk ). Check that for pictures and other details. So, if you're in Nottingham give Goose Fair a visit – A great night out for people of any age.
If you've never heard of the Goose Fair in Nottingham, where have you been for the last 400 years? Apparently there has been a fair held in Nottingham annually for over this many years, but it is very, very different to what it was like 400 years ago! After moving to Norfolk about 5 years ago, this is one think I really do miss about living in the Derbyshire / Nottingham area. I went religiously every year for about 8 years. Dooyooers might think it strange that although there were over 100 rides at my dispoal, with much shorter queues than at Alton Towers (with free admission, too!), I only ever went on about 2 rides! However, those of you who have been to the Goose Fair will know that simply to be there and soak up the incredible atmosphere is enough. It really is an incredible experience: the sights, sounds and smells are out of this world. Also, as another dooyooer has stated, all visitors to the Goose Fair MUST sample some minted mushy peas! Anyone who insists on eating fish and chips out of newspaper rather than a plastic tray because they taste FAR nicer, must agree with me that minted mushy peas eaten with a plastic fork from a plastic tub at the Goose Fair taste FAR better than if you buy them from Tescos! I remember I once met someone from Southampton who had never heard of mushy peas, never mind minted mushy peas! Their look was one of total disgust! Now, living in Norfolk, I experience the annual Goose Fair in a different format. In King's Lynn, we have "The Mart" (as we don't have "fairs" in Norfolk, so they tell me). This is about a quarter of the Goose Fair, the rest splits off and goes to other parts of the UK. (...and they don't bring the minted mushy peas to King's Lynn, unfortuantely!)
Goose Fair is a massive Fun Fair that is held in Nottingham every year. The fair is held on the first weekend in October and then continues until Saturday night. Although this is only a very short time the fair is visited by thousands of people every day. The fair has been going for over 700 years and originally was held in the centre of the City. It now has its own ground that for the rest of the year is used for football pitches and a large park and ride car park. It is said that there are now over 150 rides and 450 games at the fair, which cater for every age and interest. Entrance to the fair is free and even if you do not go on any of the rides the atmosphere, smells, sights and sounds make a visit essential for any fair lover. Although the fair opens at lunchtime each day, for me it must be a visit at night when the lights make the fair something very special. You will not go hungry at Goose Fair. There are stalls selling such a wide variety of foods, but if you do visit there are two very traditional foods you must try. The first is mushy peas with mint sauce, they taste so different at Goose Fair. The other is Brandy Snaps, take some home and eat them filled with cream, a treat to keep the taste of fair alive. This fair is one of the largest travelling fairs in Europe, and there are loads of other facts and figures I could tell you. But, all I want to say is, please go, enjoy it, you won't regret the visit. If you do want some more information you can also visit the web site at http://www.nottinghamgoosefair.co.uk But don't just visit the web site, visit the fair.

Though weaving in ends may never be an enjoyable part of knitting and crocheting, there are a couple things you can do to make it more enjoyable, and maybe almost fun!
Tip #1: Leave an end long enough to weave in with a large needle. Before purchasing a needle long enough for yarn, I used a crochet hook to pull the end through stitches. Occasionally I still forget to leave a long tail and have to use a crochet hook though it's much faster to use a needle.
Tip #2: If you are still going to crochet or knit, the end(s) can be crocheted over and locked into the stitches or knit with for several stitches. Crocheting over or knitting with the tails for 5 or 6 stitches will usually be enough to lock the tails in.
Tip #3: Use a smaller crochet hook than used for the project. The hook will fit in the stitches easier and quicker.
Tip #4: After weaving in the end(s), pull the tail a little tightly so the project almost puckers a little. Cut the end(s) close to the project; then straighten the project so the end hides in the stitches.
Recently a group of us made a bunch of scarves for the Special Olympics. One knitter didn't have a crochet hook to weave in the tails at the color changes. Thankfully she left long tails that I could tuck in with a needles. With the needle I could make quick work of the task and almost enjoyed it!

AMES, Iowa – Simone Childs-Walker (Sr./Seattle, Wash./Lakeside) placed sixth out of 40 racers, while teammate Alison Smyth (Sr./Billings, Mont./Billings West) finished 17th at the Iowa State Classic.
The field—which included 31 runners from NCAA Division I programs, four from D-II programs, another four from D-III teams, and one racer from the junior college ranks—was divided into two groups. Both Knights ran in the fast heat as they raced this distance for the first time this season.
Childs-Walker clocked a time of 17:10.71, eight seconds off her school-record pace set at last year's NCAA Championships but already faster than she raced during the regular season a year ago.
Smyth carried the momentum of a strong cross country season over to indoor track as she finished at 17:25.87. That's 42 seconds faster than her season-best time from last winter.
The rest of the Carleton track & field team will compete on Saturday, Feb. 11 at the Darren Young Classic hosted by Grinnell College. That meet begins at 10 a.m.

Hi there,
I am trying to disble the Ctrl-V key function for a rich edit control. I set the ENM_KEYEVENTS event mask filter and I handle my WM_NOTIFY message as follows...
Code:case WM_NOTIFY: switch( ((LPNMHDR)lParam)->code ){ case EN_MSGFILTER: if( ((MSGFILTER*)lParam)->wParam == 0x0016 ){ MessageBox( hwnd, "Ctrl-V", NULL, MB_OK ); return 1; //disables the key } break; } break;

I've got one final item from New York City as we wrap up our coverage of Super Bowl XLVIII here at Cheesehead TV.
In the week leading up to the big game, I had the opportunity to ask the wide receivers of the Denver Broncos and position coach Tyke Tolbert two questions: A) Do the Broncos have the best group of receivers in the NFL, and B) Which other teams have a group of receivers considered among the best?
My ulterior motive was to see if they considered the Green Bay Packers as having one of the elite receiving corps in the NFL, leaving the question open-ended and not asking about the Packers specifically.
It wasn't long ago when the Packers were believed to have one of the best, if not the best, collections of receivers circa 2011 when they had a group that included Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, Jordy Nelson, James Jones and a young Randall Cobb.
Perhaps with a group like that, it should come as no surprise that the Packers won the Super Bowl in 2011 and then went 15-1 in the regular season in 2011.
The results from my informal survey were mixed.
First off, yes, the Broncos receivers generally felt they're the best with the exception of Eric Decker, who didn't want to go out on limb and make such a proclamation.
It's no real surprise that they feel they're No. 1, but they also stake a legitimate claim with a group that also includes Wes Welker, Demaryius Thomas and Andre Caldwell.
"I feel confident that when my guys go on the field, they can produce versus any defense in the NFL," said Tolbert. "So to say they're one of the best, I'm extremely confident in saying I think they are."
In hindsight, maybe the Broncos couldn't produce against any defense, failing to get anything going against the Seahawks until after the game had already been decided. But that still doesn't make the group in Denver chopped liver.
Welker, who's been around the block a few times in previous stops at New England, Miami and San Diego, shared similar sentiments.
"I think so," said Welker. "I think everybody has their own opinion and everything, but this is one of the best groups I've ever played with."
As for other groups that might give the Broncos a run for the money, they weren't exactly impartial judges of talent.
There were two mentions of the Seahawks having one of the best groups of receivers, although Tolbert admitted that he was so focused on the Super Bowl, he couldn't fathom to think of any other teams.
The Chargers also received a vote from Thomas, however, it could be argued that facing the Chargers and Keenan Allen three times this past season may have influenced his opinion.
One team coming up twice were the Falcons, which have a group featuring Julio Jones, Roddy White and Harry Douglas. Also mentioned were the Cardinals and the 49ers.
The Packers were not mentioned once by any of the four people interviewed, although Thomas had an idea why that might be.
"They've got some great guys," said Thomas. "Injuries bother people. We were capable of going a year without nobody really getting hurt and injured, and I think that made us look better. Because (in) Green Bay, you had Randall Cobb get hurt, Jermichael Finley got hurt. And they were two of their playmakers, and without some of your playmakers on the field, it can get difficult."
It's probably fair to say the Packers don't have as much depth at the position as they did in 2011 when their entire group of receivers was filled with Pro Bowl caliber players, but how far have they fallen?
The Packers still have a very good ensemble with Nelson, Cobb and Jones leading the way and Jarrett Boykin emerging as a threat, but that group could be broken up depending on what happens in free agency.
Jones will be an unrestricted free agent in March, free to sign wherever he chooses. And if we include tight ends in the vague definition of "receiver," the future is even more uncertain with both Finley and Andrew Quarless having expiring contracts as well.
No matter what happens in the upcoming months, the Packers have a good group to build around, assuming they can stay healthy, which is easier said than done.
The Packers may have to look for reinforcements in the NFL draft, particularly depending on what happens in free agency at the tight end position.

No, the purpose is to bank some extra cash during hard times by pandering to the stupidest demographic in America, whose numbers are sadly vast. Is this a great country or what?

This ban will not change anything. People who rely on plastic bags for their garbage or clean up after their pets will just start using paper bags. they think by forcing us to pay for paper bags we will switch to those reusable bags. As long as people have money to shell out for paper bags their use will not diminish but will increase. I would rather shell out money for paper bags knowing that no matter how much you wash reusable bags the bacteria in the bottom of the bag will always be there. I for one will not be told how and what I put my groceries in. If I have the money I will always ask for paper. This law is just another stupid law consumers have to deal with.

Bacteria, companions to us all ...
From a San Francisco Chronicle article, July 5, 2012:
The human body carries more than 100 trillion bacteria - up to five pounds of the tiny single-celled organisms. The mouth alone has several hundred species of bacteria. Each tooth is its own ecosystem.
Together, all of the bacteria in the body would be the size of a large liver, and in many ways, scientists say, the microbiome behaves as another organ in the human body.
Each of our bodies has its own unique microbiome, cultivated from birth and built from our genes and our diet, nurtured by our exposure to a family dog or cat, by how much dirt we ate out of the sandbox and the antibiotics we've taken for ear infections or strep throat.

At long last, we will be catching up to what Europeans have been doing for years. It's easy, and it's environmentally sound. You can bring recyclable bags to the check-out stand, or you can wheel your groceries to your car and place them in plastic crates that can be stored flat. No need for paper!

These 5 megalomaniacs just love telling us how to live our lives. We put them in office to work for us and instead they want to control our lives. So they inconvenience us and charge us for making our lives more difficult.
All that is needed is to require all supermarkets and convenience stores to use biodegradable bags and nothing more. Where do the Board of Stupidvisors get off telling retail stores that they have to charge for bags? It is none of the stupidvisors business. The decision whether to charge should left to the retail outlets. When government encroaches on businesses we have creeping socialism.
It would behoove all the cities in the Peninsula to reject this irrational ordinance and send a message to the County that the Cities are quite capable of making their own ordinances and we don't need the County to pressure the Cities. Back off Stupidvisors!
There is a problem using non-biodegradable bags and to respect the environment and each cty should pass ordinances to address the Problem.
My suggestion for an ordinance would be "All grocery stores and convenience outlets shall only offer their customers biodegradable bags". Nothing should be mention about the composition of the bags or whether the retail establishments should charge for these bags.

Katia Colin of Illinois selected by Chicago-based leadership program
Katia Colin has been selected from a group of finalists for the incoming class of the prestigious Kemper Scholars Program. The program has been sponsored by the James S. Kemper Foundation of Chicago, Ill., since 1948.
Colin is a first-year from Waukegan, Ill. She is involved in the Peace and Justice Club, the Outdoor Environment House and Voces Latinas. She mentors elementary school students, and she recently won a Beloit College Sustainability Fellowship. As part of her fellowship, she will work with program staff and campus faculty members to design and implement "green" science and sustainability activities for the college's Help Yourself Program. Her major is currently undecided.
The mission of the Kemper Scholars Program is to prepare students for leadership and service, especially in the fields of organizational administration and business. Aiming to promote education in the liberal arts, the program provides students opportunities for career exploration and practical experience.
Kemper Scholars represent the best undergraduates from a group of 16 exemplary liberal arts colleges around the country, according to Dr. Ryan LaHurd, the president and executive director of the James S. Kemper Foundation.
"They are selected because they are committed to their studies and service in their communities and because they have exhibited leadership and well-rounded, ethical character. Throughout the over six decades of the program, scholars have gone on to make outstanding contributions as leaders in organizations around the country," he said.
Kemper Scholars receive annual scholarships up to $10,000 based on need during their sophomore, junior and senior years of college, and they receive stipends to cover the costs of their work as interns in major non-profit organizations in Chicago during the summer following their sophomore year. Scholars are placed in full-time administrative positions where they can learn about such things as financial management, organizational strategy, fund-raising and non-profit administration.
During the summer following their junior year, scholars are eligible for summer stipends to cover the costs of a learning opportunity in an internship in a for-profit corporation. Each year all Kemper Scholars attend a national conference to discuss summer projects, meet with former Kemper Scholars, and consider topics in administration, leadership and business.

Editor's Note: This article was published on September 20, 2012.
One of the reactors at Three Mile Island automatically shut down Thursday afternoon after one of the reactor cooler pumps tripped, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
TMI has a computerized protection system that automatically shuts down the plant at any sign of possible trouble, according to the NRC. At 2:16 p.m, when the pump stopped operating, that triggered the shutdown.
"The automatic shutdown procedure is the first in a long line of safe cards in place," Stephen Libhart, Directof of Dauphin County Emergency Management, told NBC10.
- Phone interview with Stephen Libhart, "No danger at all"
- PHOTO GALLERY: 1979 TMI Partial Nuclear Meltdown
An NRC inspector, who was already on site, went to the plant's control room to oversee the response, according to the NRC.
The reactor that shut down was Unit One, which also shut down automatically in August while it was being manually taken down for repairs.
People in the area, which is just outside of Harrisburg, Pa., reported hearing a loud noise during the shutdown. Officials say that was caused by the steam that gets released during a shutdown.
Libhart said the "monitoring equipment did not detect any release of harmful or otherwise radiation that would have impacted the area. There is no risk to the area, animals or individuals," he said. "No danger at all."
"They will take a look at every system that they have to see what actually triggered the shutdown to make sure there's nothing to be addressed in terms of maintenance, repair or otherwise. I believe it takes a few days to go through a complete cool down process and do a restart," Libhart said.
We have a crew headed to Three Mile Island. Stay with NBC10 for the latest developments on this story.
In 1979, there was a partial nuclear core meltdown at the nuclear plant.
It turned out to be the worst nuclear plant emergency in U.S. history.

Dominican Republic drops host nation
Mexico falls victim to long ball in '09 Caribbean Series' final nightcap
By Jesse Sanchez / MLB.com
It will be approximately one year until the Dominican Republic gets a chance at redemption.
In the meantime, the countries can ponder what went wrong during the week and what went right Saturday night, when the Dominican Republic's Tigres de Licey topped Mexico's Venados de Mazatlan, 4-2, in the finale of the 2009 Caribbean Series at Estadio Casa GEO.
With the victory, the Dominican Republic, the 2008 champions, finish with a 2-4 record. Mexico ends the tournament with consecutive losses and a 4-2 mark. The '09 Caribbean Series champion Tigres de Aragua from Venezuela return boasting a 5-1 record, while Puerto Rico's Leones de Ponce finished 2-4.
"We are happy to win tonight, but we came here for the crown and we are not leaving with it," Tigres catcher Ronny Paulino said. "I don't think anybody is happy with how we played this week. We should have been better."
The 2010 Caribbean Series will be held on Venezuela's Isle of Margarita.
The Dominican Republic scored two runs in the first inning, the first coming when shortstop Erick Aybar raced home on a ground ball by Jose Bautista. Paulino followed with a solo home run off Mexico starter Walter Silva to push the Tigres ahead, 2-0.
Silva recovered to shut the Tigres offense down for the next three innings, but ran into trouble in the fifth after a groundout by Dominican Republic third baseman Ronnie Belliard. Right fielder Ricardo Nanita hit a single up the middle, and first baseman Salvador Paniagua then smashed a shot over the left-field wall for two more runs to put the Tigres up, 4-1.
Mexico answered with a run in the bottom of the fifth, when third baseman Freddy Sandoval came home on a single to left field by right fielder Christian Quintero to cut the Dominican Republic's lead, but the home team would not score again.
Silva was charged with four runs on five hits over five innings. Dominican Republic starter Jose Mercedes allowed one run on three hits in three innings before passing the ball to Jailen Peguero for two innings.
Rafael Martin pitched two scoreless innings in relief of Silva.
After the game, Paulino was named to the All-Caribbean Series team along with Quintero and Mexico siblings Adrian Gonzalez and Edgar V. Gonzalez. Venezuela closer Francisco Butto was named the Series' Most Valuable Player.
"I think if we had a hit here or a hit there we would be accepting the first-place trophy instead of second," Mexico manager Lorenzo Bundy said. "But you have to give credit to Venezuela. They got wins when they needed to."
