Post subject: What's your favorite battle pack?
So now that we've had a chance to accumulate some different battle packs over recent years, what is your favorite thus far?
My favorite would definitely have to be the Rebel Trooper battle pack. Sure sure, I know there are a lot of clone-heads out there, but I was so thrilled to get a battalion of troops with the awesome "swooshy" helmets! Plus, I think the little speeder it came with is one of the best little battle pack kits, and definitely has the most playability with the removable laser turret. I also liked the Stormtrooper pack and the Assassin Droids pack (the colors and parts were pretty nice).
NOTE: This is not a "name your dream battle pack" thread! We have plenty of those running about. . .

I'd have to go for the Clone Trooper Battle Pack. There's a variety of minifigs, a set piece for bases (the gun turret) and an awesome speeder. What could be better?

It's a tie between the Clone Walker Battle Pack (absolutely love the Phase 1 Clonies) and the Rebel Scout Speeder (finally, Tantive IV Rebels!).
They just both have figures that I love. The other four are good, but not as good as those two.

I like the original Clone Troopers Battle Pack the most, followed closely by the Imperial Dropship Battle Pack. There were a lot of useful and necessary pieces in the CTBP, and the variety of the figures included was great. I wish I could find some more somewhere for cheap.

I guess my favorite is the Imperial Dropship too, because I chose it over the other ones. I'll take the Stormtrooper minifigs over little Battle Droids. The Rebels look so identical...well, so do the Stormtroopers, but they're supposed to be, right

The Rebel Battlepack was great for the new figures it offered us.
Stormtrooper Battlepack was good for the shadow trooper and new lips.
Droid Battlepack was great for the sheer number of figures.
EP III Clone Battlepack was great for variety.
CW Clone Battlepack is good for the Gunner and the uniformity of the figures.
Assassin droid Battlepack is sweet for the amount of Assassin droids you get; previously expensive figures and awesome to have no matter what.
I think it's a tie between the Assassin Droids Battlepack and the Clone Wars trooper battlepack for me - but I'm not a huge OT fan either.

My favorite is the Rebel battle pack. Theses are guys that were never offered in any other set. A close second is the Ep. 2 clones from this year, only because I can now properly man my, I mean my kids, walker and gunship.
I would be estatic if they made others next, such as gungans (haven't seen them in a long time), death star troopers (two in the whole death star doesn't cut it), snowtrooper and hoth rebels, endor rebels and ewoks, and lastly wookies

I'm diiging the
Clone Walker
pack as of late. I recently bought the RGS and it didn't have much in the way of troops with it (though I'm not complaining since it did come with a sith, 2 Jedi, and Commander Cody). This battle pack has become a nice extention of that set.

I love the Rebels, but the new Clones look great, too. They both should prove to be very useful battle packs.

Rebel Battlepack for me, just because they offered completly new minifigs that weren't in any previous set. In fact, I currently own 6 Rebel Battlepack, more than any other of the Battlepacks.
But the Imperial Dropship is a close second, because like Skafte said, you just can't have enough Stormies in your collection.

For me, it's definately the Imperial Dropship. I just love the stormtroopers and the shadow trooper it comes with. Also, the actual ship itself I think is actually pretty cool...much better than the Rebel Speeder IMO. However, I do love the rebel minifigures that come in that set, just not the speeder

I really like the new Clone Walker battle pack, but my Dad isn't letting me get it, at least not yet. The first Clone Trooper battle pack is great as it introduced the new blasters and had great-looking minfigs, plus offered interesting chances for alternate models. The other battlepacks were ace in terms of minifigs, but the speeders themselves were pretty meh, apart from the Imperial Dropship, which is an interesting design.
Ironic, huh.

The rebel trooper pack is #1 by far IMO, for a couple reasons.
1. Finally a minifig of the rebel trooper. Something absent for a long time prior. And still to this day, that figure doesn't appear in any other set.
2. This is the only battlepack completely uniform, minimal waste. Giving us 4 of exactly the figure we want. No funky one-offs or rarely seen alternates or EU spawns. (eg. the stormtrooper battlepack is horrible for throwing in the black "shadow"
trooper... you need 4 of those battle packs for a dozen regular stormies instead of 3. What a waste).
Honorable mention for the droid battlepack for similar reasons as item 2 above.

Well, I think it all depends on the point of view you are looking at the battlepacks. To me the best battlepack in minifig terms is the Rebel BP cause the minifigs are totally new and also are one of the most wanted but to be honest the vehicle is the most boring in all the battlepacks
. In vehicle terms the best in my opinion is the Imperial Dropship BP
. That vehicle is just perfect in my opinion. Nice mechanism and also and interesting design.

In terms of vehicle provided with the battle pack, the best would have to be the Rebel Battle Pack and the Assassin Droid BP. The rebel speeder thing looks sleek and nice, and so does the assassin droid speeder. I find the Stormie BP ship to looks a bit weird and ugly, same with the new clone walker pack. The first 2 battle packs had vehicles that were just too simple, but nice minifigs.
In terms of minifigs, I would say that rebel, stormie, and ep2 clone BPs are the best. New rebels, an easy way to get stormies and ep2 clones, and even rarer special figs (like the shadowtrooper and gunner clone) make them the best. I really like the shadow trooper for the color scheme, and I have never seen it before.
As of now, I only have the rebel and stormie ones, but planning to get multiple ep2 clone BPs. I do have to say that the rebels get really redundant after a while.

I really like Stormies so I go with the dropship pack. I haven't found the two new battle packs to tinker with so my preference may change but I'm betting not.

The original clone battle pack included a lot of variety, nice Phase II clonies and good colored parts, and new molded guns. It is the best, imo.

Clone Walker Battlepack, it has all the Clones I need, but the only thing is that it doesn't come with a Pilot which I need.
The walker IS awesome, but I'm gonna alternate it. Bleh... I STILL can't find it anywhere. All my stores run out within the hour that they get their shipments.

As others have stated, the Rebel BP does it for me. Long needed and finally here. No waste, nothing EU. Awsome set.
The Droid BP was great, so was the first Clone BP. But their extra's sucked.

For me it has to be the Stormie battlepack. Because for once you can get a decent amount of stormtroopers for a low price.

I like the Imperial battle pack the best because its a pretty cool ship and as well as that you get 3 Stormtroopers and a Shadowtrooper what more could you want.
A close second is the Rebel Speeder as the modal itself looks very nice and you get Rebel Troops that you cannot get anywhere else.
I may go to hell for saying this but I like the stickers in the Rebel Speeder set too and use them on other modals to make them look a bit better.

I have had my chances. I have tried and tried. I have stitched life into me like a rare organ- Sylvia Plath
I sometimes get very scared that I find myself identifying so strongly with early twentieth century mild to strong female feminist authors who ended up killing themselves. Virginia Woolf walked into the sea with stones in her pocket. Sylvia Plath pushed her head into the oven. Her children were asleep in the very next room. And I am not talking about identifying with the common intention of committing suicide. It's the suicide of a bright promising mind rather than the mundane destruction of a life.
Is being an intelligent aware woman a left handed compliment by God? You might be good enough, but destined to go through life unappreciated. It irks me when I read about aspiring women authors in the early twentieth century who sent their works to publishers under a masculine pseudonym to avoid discrimination of their works because of their gender. What really saddens me is even today I find many women not confident enough to accept their sex and whatever comes with it. The name 'JK Rowling' doesn't sound like she is a woman, does it ?
I have many friends, both guys and girls alike who think girls cant be friends amongst themselves. One of them was a girl I was on very good terms with. Listening to her, I felt like a metaphorical Sylvia Plath on her way to the oven in the kitchen. If I cant prove by example, I wonder what other method is convincing enough.
Answers, anyone?

Abuse isn't just about bruises. Not all forms of abuse leave bruises where we can see them,Domestic Violence Define in 2018 . Although physical abuse is terrifying and needs to be addressed immediately there are other forms of abuse that can cause significant damage. One type of abuse that is very difficult for outsiders to detect is financial abuse. Marriage should be a partnership but when one spouse completely dominates the finances to the point that the other spouse has no control and no options financial abuse may be occurring.
What Are Signs of Potential Financial Abuse?
Every married couple handles their finances differently. In some cases one spouse handles the majority of the finances. They manage the accounts, pay the bills and deal with creditors. That does not by itself equal financial abuse.
Financial abuse occurs when one spouse is treated like an irresponsible child and Domestic Violence Effects . They are cut off from funds and their knowledge about the couple's finances is severely limited. Some signs of financial abuse include:
•Strict Allowances. This isn't an amount that the spouses have agreed to limit themselves to but is instead a set amount that is grudgingly handed out from one spouse to the other and is all that will be given.
Documents, documents, documents. Written evidence is incredibly strong and can range from credit card bills showing that there is a credit card but that you aren't named on it to emails from your spouse that show the financial abuse.
Other witnesses can be incredibly powerful on your behalf. Financial abuse is hard for people outside the relationship to detect. So when someone credible comes in and tells the judge that it is happening and they can see it the judge will listen and Domestic Violence Effects On Children .
Domestic Violence Define in 2018 ?
When you have a brief encounter with a narcissist, you might not realize that the person has a personality disorder which is typified by being very self-absorbed and lacking in empathy for others. However, when you are a target of narcissistic abuse, and are in a relationship with this person, your every day life becomes confusing and painful.
Before getting into ways you can rebuild your self-esteem, let's take a moment to describe the behavior of a narcissist for those who might not be clear about what the term means. An individual with narcissistic personality disorder goes through life with an overwhelming need to be validated all the time, and told they are wonderful, smarter than anyone else and are entitled to only the finest treatment by everyone. They take offense easily, and get angry quickly if they interpret a remark as being an insult. In their craving for attention and approval, they are usually adept at being charming when they want something from someone else, and then if they are refused will have an almost instant transformation into being very angry. They are quick to judge other people as inferior, and enjoy using phrases that are racist, demeaning and derogatory of other groups of people.
For example, a narcissist, feeling he is superior to everyone else, will commonly say things like, "The masses are asses!"
While some people like to say that a narcissist is someone with excess self-love or vanity, that really doesn't do more than give a surface definition. To know more, you have to understand a bit about how this disorder began, and it is typically stated in definitions of the disorder that it began with trauma early in childhood, during the phase when the child should have been developing a healthy sense of self. Instead, the child formed the opinion, usually as a result of abusive treatment including neglect, that he was not good enough the way he was and needed to create a "perfect" persona to show to the world to gain that all-important approval the child craved.
4. Are you still breathing? A relationship with a narcissistic abuser can feel devastating, but notice that you are still alive, and that means there is more for you to do and enjoy in this life, free from abuse. Part of your birthright is that you deserve to enjoy a life that you truly love wherein you make your dreams come true and feel happier than you ever believed possible. You can achieve this switch from victim to victorious by refusing to let the abuser win. Dismiss all those negative things he or she assaulted you with.
5. Every day, repeat this affirmation to yourself several times, out loud if possible so that you hear a voice telling you this: "I do enough, I am good enough, I am enough." Use the power of positive affirmations to build high self-esteem so that you will gradually replace those old negative statements that you accepted as true just because an abuser said them so often with great authority.
It is not an overnight process to rebuild your self-esteem when you have been repeatedly abused by a partner or parent with narcissistic personality disorder, but don't give up. Keep your focus on building a life for yourself where you only attract loving people and loving events to you, and you will soon find yourself smiling and enjoying peace of mind and glowing, healthy self-esteem.
Violence and Violent Crime - The Gender Consideration
It can be difficult to describe what abuse is and this is because the word 'Abuse' can mean different things to different people. For one person it might relate to emotional pain, for another it might involve physical pain. With there being different degrees of pain and hurt within these two forms of violence.
As a general guideline: this could be behaviour that occurs here and there, without it happening often enough to cause too many problems. Or it could be experienced to such an extreme that one's life becomes unbearable.
In this analysis I am going to be looking at what I currently believe causes abusive behaviour and the type of individual that commits abusive behaviour on a regular basis.
The Dictionary.com Definition
Here, it is described as the following:
• To use wrongly or improperly; misuse: to abuse one's authority.
• To treat in a harmful, injurious, or offensive way: to abuse a horse.
• To abuse one's eyesight; to speak insultingly, harshly, and unjustly to or about; revile; malign.
• To commit sexual assault upon: Obsolete - to deceive or mislead.
My Definition
What comes to mind when I think of abusive, is compromise. When one is abused they are not being respected or treated in a humane way, they are being treated as objects. The abused person's feelings do not register to the abuser and if they are recognised, it is not enough to end the behaviour.
Empathy And Compassion
If one can't feel their own feelings, it is then a lot easier to do destructive things to another. The question is: why wouldn't the abuser have the ability to empathise or to be compassionate with another person?
It is said that the ability to empathise and to be compassionate is developed through caregivers that display the same behaviours to their children. This is also known as healthy mirroring and validation. What also happens through this process is that the child feels noticed and acknowledged, which are of paramount importance for the development of a healthy sense of self.
It could be said that because of their past, the person that displays abusive behaviour is abusing themselves just as much, if not more than they are abusing others. This is because the original abuser has been internalised. And even if the original abuser is not longer alive or around; they still have the potential to exist in the mind of the abuser or abused.
Here the voice exists like a parasite in the mind, merging with the mind and this makes it hard to notice and eliminate.
This shows that it is typically a two way relationship. With people who have been abused being more likely to be attracted to an abuser. If one has been abused in their younger years and it has not been looked at processed, the mind will then continue to associate this as what familiar and safe.
It will also mean that the abused will put up with this behaviour later in life. If this is what they have experienced as a child, one will then think that it is normal and all they deserve.
If one was abused by their own caregivers, it is only normal for them to assume that this is how people are that that the world is therefore unsafe and dangerous. And also that people can't be trusted.
To experience abuse can be extremely traumatising; with the consequences of abuse having the potential to last a life time. Time is said to be one of the greatest healers. Being around supportive people that one can feel safe around and who can listen without judgement is equally important.
This could be in the form of friends, family or a therapist. Here they will listen and acknowledge what is being said without judgement or blame. This is a process that cannot be rushed, and will happen in its own time and when one is ready to face what has happened. There is not a right or wrong time, only the time when one feels ready to undertake such an important step.

Psalm 103:1-2, 13, 17-18
O thou my soul, bless God the Lord;
And all that in me is
Be stirred up his holy name
To magnify and bless.
Bless, O my soul, the Lord thy God,
And not forgetful be
Of all his gracious benefits
He hath bestowed on thee.
Such pity as a Father hath
And shows his children dear,
Like pity shows the Lord to such
As worship him in fear.
Yea, unto them that fear the Lord
His mercy never ends;
And to their children's children still
His righteousness extends;
To such as keep his covenant
Nor from it go astray,
Who his commandments bear in mind
And faithfully obey.

Pleural Effusion is never normal. It is usually a complication from an underlying illness. This condition which occurs when an abnormal accumulation of fluid fills the space surrounding the lungs can cause great pain and discomfort, it may cause you to cough or feel short of breath. You may breathe faster than usual. You may have no symptoms at all which makes it more threatening because this can worsen an existing lung infection. A doctor may suspect a pleural effusion based on your symptoms and physical examination. If you are in Woodland Hills CA and you are dealing with an illness that may cause this condition, it is best to have a specialist examine you or perform a diagnosis to prevent pleural effusions from happening or from recurring.

I bought the original game way back when it first came out and loved it. I never could find any of the expansions though. Anyway my question is what do the expansions add? Do they just add more to the story or are there more and different types of units? I'm thinking about buying this game again and just want to know what makes this version different than the original. Thanks.

Topic: Anime Banter
This has been all over the net for a while but as usual it hasn't shown up here.
For those of us that have seen the Hellsing anime, or read the manga. The new anime is the exact form of the manga, for example the original didn't have Rip Van Winkle.
Some screen shots, thanks to the In the Shell forums.

Sheridan High School will again sell birdhouses to raise scholarship money during their spring play, Hello Dolly, this weekend at the high school.
Last year was the first year they held the fundraiser and it was a success when just about $200 worth of materials to build the houses brought in $2,700 in scholarship money. SHS guidance counselor Ed Fessler tells us more.
Students build the houses and local artisans decorate them for auction during the play. Birdhouses will be on display all weekend and bids close on Sunday.

Inch. Check your meals 'tude That which we eat and how we believe are connected in very complex ways. A healthy way of eating relies on savoring taste, eating to gratification, and increasing power, instead of emphasizing fat loss. Check your balance of low-calorie foods, nutrient-dense meals (giving a number of nutrients per calorie) , and foods that are calorie packed but nutrient poor. Most Americans need to consume more fresh whole foods (in contrast to processed, exceptionally refined food items). Attempt to include a lot more whole grains, vegetables and fruits, and legumes to your own meals. Pair these low-fat foods using a wholesome fat or lean protein to extend gratification. 2. Eat as a child If adding veggies and fruits sounds menacing, turn into "finger food" models that pre school children like -- lettuce and celery sticks, cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets, berries berries, and dried fruits. All these are nutrient powerhouses packaged with antioxidants. 3. Make a picky eater Limit fats and polyunsaturated fats, and aim to eat more foods rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3 efas to cut your risk of cardiovascular illness and maybe even increase sad moods. The same of just one g of EPA/DHA (eicosapentaenoic acid/docosahexaenoic acid) each day is advised. Eating cold-water fatty fish (wild salmon, sardines, mackerel, trout) 2 to three times each week will supply both the EPA and DHA. Adding to a couple tablespoons of ground flaxseed along with eating milk, milk, and pasta out of naturally-occurring creatures will provide you having a healthful dose of omega-3s. 4. Use foods over Nutritional Supplements Supplements are not really a replacement for a good nutritional supplement. Although many health experts recommend having a multivitamin and mineral supplement that delivers 100 to 200 percentage of your recommended daily price, every and every nutritional supplement ought to be carefully assessed for safety and purity. Specific supplements are connected with toxicity, and reactions with drugs, rivalry together with different nutritional supplements, and much higher chance of illnesses such as cancer, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

Your post-holiday detox plan
I'm a big believer that Thanksgiving is not a day to diet. Once a year, you get to gather 'round the table with family and friends, count your blessings and eat delicious holiday dishes to your heart's content.
I'm not saying you should go nuts and have three servings of turkey, four different types of potatoes and two slices of pie with double the whipped cream. But I do think that you should definitely go ahead and eat a little of everything you like.
That said, as someone who has a master's degree in nutrition with a focus in weight management, I know that, when it comes to eating, you must keep the holiday behaviors to the actual holidays. It's a slippery slope, my friends. In my book, the menu on "Black Friday" does not look like the one on Thanksgiving Thursday (only made in the microwave instead). Let other people eat the leftover mashed potatoes and gravy, the stuffing and the candied sweet potatoes, while you try my "1,500-Calorie Day-After-Thanksgiving Detox Plan," which I will share, happily, with you. (Photos: What does a 1,500-calorie day look like?)
- For breakfast, shoot for 300 to 350 calories.
- For me, this means having a piece of leftover pumpkin pie and a cup of coffee with plenty of nonfat milk. (Why? Pumpkin pie is one of my favorite treats and if I don't have it for breakfast, I'm going to eat it later, adding an extra 300 calories to my day.) Plus, pumpkin pie isn't the worst thing in the world to eat: it has a little bit of fiber and more than 100% of your recommended daily value for vitamin A. But if you think having another piece of pie will launch you into full-blown holiday-eating mode, opt for something more ordinary, like an English muffin with some peanut butter and an orange or a bowl of oatmeal with raisins. The key is to start your day feeling satisfied.
- Recipes to Try:Satisfying 300- to 350-Calorie Breakfasts
- Breakfasts to Beat Winter Weight Gain
- At lunchtime, shoot for 325 to 400 calories.
- Make yourself a big green salad and top it with leftover turkey and maybe even some green beans and whatever is remaining of the veggie platter. Toss with a few tablespoons of a lower-calorie dressing and have a small whole-grain roll.
- Recipes to Try:Lunches for 400 Calories or Less
Are you out battling the crowds at the mall? Treat yourself to a low-cal lunch at the food court. Here are some of the better choices.
A filling salad: Try Au Bon Pain's Mediterranean Chicken Salad (290 calories, 16 g fat) with light olive oil vinaigrette (110 calories, 10 g fat) or Panera's Asian Sesame Chicken Salad (400 calories, 20 g fat). If chicken feels a little too much like turkey, go for Moe's Close Talker Salad (skip the shell and opt for no meat) with black beans, veggies, cucumbers and a Southwest vinaigrette (360 calories, 21 g fat).
Soup: Try Au Bon Pain's large (16 oz.) Black Bean Soup (380 calories, 2 g fat) or Chicken and Vegetable Stew (410 calories, 24 g fat).
A chicken sandwich: Try Subway's 6-inch Oven Roasted Chicken Sandwich (320 calories, 5 g fat), Arby's Roast Chicken Sandwich (370 calories, 12 g fat) or Wendy's Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich with honey mustard (390 calories, 10 g fat).
A turkey sub: Try Blimpie's 6-inch Turkey Sub, no cheese or sauce (320 calories, 3.5 g fat) or Quiznos Pesto Turkey Toasty Bullet (382 calories, 13 g fat).
For dinner, stick with 500 calories.
Enjoy that leftover turkey in Crispy Turkey Tostadas (397 calories, 15 g fat)-which leaves room for 1/2 cup of black beans or a glass of wine on the side.
Get the Recipe: Crispy Turkey Tostadas & More Healthy Recipes for Thanksgiving Leftovers
Now...even if you ate the highest-calorie options for each meal, that still leaves you with about 250 calories to spend on snacks. Choose wisely: an ounce of almonds (170), an apple (about 100), some air-popped popcorn (100 calories for about 3 cups, no butter)-or if you've saved enough up and didn't already eat it for breakfast, go ahead and have that slice of pumpkin pie!

MOTU, ETERNIA PRISON GATE LOOK NICE Melting glaciers, rising sea levels, extinction of species, stronger and more frequent weather extremes – these are just some of the many consequences of climate change. Those who have contributed the least are particularly hard hit: people in the Global South are already losing their homes because of the climate crisis. The climate crisis is intensifying the existing injustices worldwide. With such prospects for the future, it should go without saying that the effects of climate change should be kept to a minimum. But the reality in politics looks different: The climate protection measures adopted there, are no more than window dressing.
The coal phase-out is the fastest immediate measure for climate protection. But politics is failing again and that is why we act!

Customer Reviews
Millie, my 14 year old Japanese Chin was rescued from a life of terrible neglect. I found the Blissful Dog when I was looking for help for her dry nose. I've been using the Nose Butter as directed and it's been great. She doesn't even mind when I touch her nose. The splits and bumps she had must have been quite painful. Now her teeny, tiny nose is black and shiny. Thanks from Millie and Cate
Oakley's cute little nose is no longer dry and rough thanks to his nose butter. This product worked easily and quickly. Thank you
Thank you for your reliable quality care and products. You have made Lacey's (cavalier) nose greatly improved. The rough, cracking, and dry nose problem is 95% improved, and will continue to be better with my constant attention to applying regularly.
Thank you so much for these items! I have Spaniels and they have problems with their noses. This is just the solution I was looking for! My only negative thing to say about this is I'm sorry I didn't find this sooner! (Imported from eBay)
My Pomerania has suffered with this nose condition for at least 3 yrs and after a week of using Nose butter he looks like a new dog. Now I need to tackle his skin condition. We have been told are from allergies that he has suffered with for years. We have tried everything. Hopefully you can help us once again. Thank you so much Vickie
I have only been using it for about a week but I can already see a major difference...I could actually see it in just a day or two! I will definitely continue! Amazing product! Thank you so much!!!!!!
Great product!!! We are 100% satisfied with the Blissful dog Nose Butter!!!! Jasmine is very happy with her beautiful nose!!!
Just want to let you know how great your product is!!!!! Received the order yesterday & starting using the Blissful Nose Butter and cannot believe how her nose has improved in such a short period of time. Jasmine & I Thank You!!!
I have been using this product with two poodles who had dry nose issues. They would get cracks or crunchy dry edges. The nose butter works well, they like it, and it is good for them and easy to apply
2nd time buying from the blissful dog, their products last quite long if you buy the bigger sizes. My dogs nose is so unbelievably crusty. I have to use this daily in order for his nose to remain moisturized and smooth. If I skip a few days it's right back to the crust/scab phase. I bought a few sticks and even got two other products because I love this line so much!

WINCHESTER, Va. – Matt Pawlowski threw two touchdowns to Trey Billian in Guilford College's 20-7 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) football win at Shenandoah University Saturday. Tyler Hunt added two field goals as the Quakers (2-3, 1-1 ODAC) won the first football game between the two schools.
Guilford's defense limited the Hornets (1-4, 0-2 ODAC) to 206 total offensive yards and registered a season-high six sacks. The Quakers snuffed out a fake field-goal attempt from inside their own 10-yard line on the game's first possession and Satiir Stevenson picked off a Corey Taylor pass on Guilford's 10-yard line to end another Shenandoah threat.
The Hornets made three trips inside Guilford's 20-yard line in the first half, but the Quakers held a 10-0 halftime lead. The Quakers got on the board first on Hunt's first field goal, a 30-yard kick, midway through the second quarter. Pawlowski engineered a successful two-minute drive later in the quarter and capped a six-play, 70-yard drive with a 13-yard strike to Billian 35 seconds before halftime.
Hunt's second field goal, a 33-yarder, boosted the Quakers' edge to 13-0 midway through the third quarter.
On the first play of Guilford's initial fourth-quarter drive, Pawlowski connected with Billian on a 79-yard scoring play, the Quakers' longest completion in at least 15 years. Hunt's point after opened a 20-0 Guilford lead with 11:32 remaining.
Taylor's nine-yard touchdown pass to Rico Salguero got the Hornets on the board with five minutes to play, but Shenandoah did not score the rest of the way.
Pawlowski completed 15-of-28 passes for 223 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Billian's lone receptions were both touchdowns and totaled a game-high 92 yards. Adam Smith grabbed four passes and Mike Williams led Guilford's ground gainers with 59 rushing yards on 16 carries.
Defensively, Robert Smith shared game-high honors with 13 tackles, his sixth straight game with 10 or more stops. Reggie Bullard made eight stops, including two sacks. Tyler Eller also had two sacks among his five tackles in the game.
Shenandoah's Taylor completed 11-of-24 passes for 124 yards. Andrew Smith led the Hornets with 41 rushing yards on six carries and Qiydaar Murphy made four catches for 70 yards. Jajuan Johnson led the hosts with 13 tackles, including three sacks.
Guilford entertains league-rival Bridgewater College in a rare Thursday night game Oct. 11 at 7:30 p.m. on the Appenzeller Field at Armfield Athletic Center.

Professor of History Dr. William Kerrigan, Heather Giffen '09, and Ryan Worbs '10 have co-authored a new pictorial history, Muskingum College, (2009, Arcadia Publishing). Drawing from a rich collection of photographs, the book chronicles more than 170 years of Muskie campus life.
A history major, Ryan Worbs is a recipient of the SHEAR/Mellon Fellowship, for which only 10 students across the county are selected annually. His fellowship opportunity provided summer study in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he pursued original primary source research in the nation's finest early American history archival collections.
Heather Giffen graduated with a major in international affairs. Her Muskingum legacy ties date back more than 100 years – she represents the fifth consecutive generation of the Giffen/Sleeth families to attend Muskingum.
William Kerrigan is the Arthur G. Cole and Eloise Barnes Cole Distinguished Professor of American History at Muskingum. An active writer and researcher, his recent publications include Images of America: Salt Fork State Park, (2007, Arcadia Publishing, with Meredith Bowman '06 and Alicia Seng '07) and Images of America: Cambridge, Ohio (2006, Arcadia Publishing, with Rebecka Hackett '06, Alicia Seng '07, Michelle Moore '06, Allison Avolio '07, and Jason Mattern '06). He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, his Master of Arts from Texas Christian University, and his Bachelor of Arts from Austin College.

Gov. Pat Quinn today signed into law a Medicaid expansion bill that will tap $2.4 billion in federal funds over the next several years to provide more health care coverage for the poor.
The money includes approximately $400 million to enroll new patients under the Affordable Care Act, pending federal approval.
The influx of dollars will allow the state to restore several services previously cut due to budget pressures, including dental and podiatric care, the governor's office said. Supporters say paying for those preventative services will save money by keeping patients out of emergency rooms.
The measure will also allow Cook County to create its own private health insurance network and funnel additional dollars to nursing homes and the state's network of safety net hospitals.
"We want to have an integrated system that focuses on wellness," Quinn said. "We want to make sure that we can prevent bad things whenever possible so people are not having to pay enormous amounts of money to deal with life threatening diseases and chronic ailments that we could have dealt with earlier."
