Skip to comments.Feds to Protect Endangered Mouse ( and kill NM, AZ & CO farmers/ranchers/oil/gas )
Posted on 06/27/2013 3:24:54 PM PDT by george76
American taxpayers will be tremendously relieved to know that the U.S. government is hard at work trying to get official endangered status for ... the New Mexico meadow jumping mouse and the feds want to designate it a critical habitat protected under the Endangered Species Act, the 1973 law signed by President Richard Nixon to protect species from extinction as a consequence of economic growth and development untempered by adequate concern and conservation.
The federal governments list of more than 1,300 threatened or endangered species
The Service is proposing to designate around 14,561 acres of critical habitat along streams in a number of counties located in New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona
(Excerpt) Read more at judicialwatch.org ...
Is it time yet? I've been waiting patiently.
Muad'Dib? I hear he can protect himself.
so are feral cat's good? Or bad?
I know my opinion about that Nixon guy.
Save the weasels in DC!
RE-Elect the same old goofball!
It's real, it's here, and it's going to confiscate all private property.
When does this "awkward stage" end, I wonder? How will we know?
You don't mean Mickey??
He got mucho long copyright protection.
Or Xerox computer pointing device??
These endless federal land seizures of state and private land must not only end but be strongly turned back.
The feds control 84.5% of the state of Nevada. Is that enough for some endangered rat, or do they need to control the entire state?
They control more than half of Utah, Oregon and Idaho. For what? Endangered "prairie squid?" Much of the rest of the states in the West have already been taken.
HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? I think the answer there is the same as for "How much of the land of Israel will the Palestinians settle for?"
The Paleos demand ALL of Israel as *theirs*. And a chunk at a time, the federals are *taking* all of the West as *theirs*.
Like some stupid fish in the canals that CA needs to irrigate the fields that GROW OUR FOOD?!?!? Traveling on northern I-5 there are lots of fields that have signs that read "congress created dust bowls".
"Rats on a stick!
Rats on a stick!"
Is that you, Monty Python?
It's long past time. ...

- n. the chemical reaction of hydrogen with another substance, especially with an unsaturated organic compound, and usually under the influence of temperature, pressure and catalysts.
from the GNU version of the Collaborative International Dictionary of English
- n. The act of combining with hydrogen, or the state of being so combined.
from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. The act of hydrogenating, or the state of being hydrogenated.
from WordNet 3.0 Copyright 2006 by Princeton University. All rights reserved.
- n. a chemical process that adds hydrogen atoms to an unsaturated oil
Sorry, no etymologies found.
This process is called hydrogenation, because it adds hydrogen atoms to the unsaturated chains.
In 1968 William Knowles was the first who was able to demonstrate that chirally catalyzed hydrogenation is feasible.
I had lunch with a physicist friend this afternoon and, look, I know very little about physics, but I was totally envious that he gets to spend his days thinking about stuff that not everyone is equipped to think about, and gets to try and solve problems that actually matter to the world (he's doing something with carbon dioxide and turning it into a liquid so that it can be turned into a gas again -- the point being to save the Earth in some way, the details beyond that have escaped me but he used the word hydrogenation a couple of times).
Now, the big problem for soybeans that produce oil that doesn't require hydrogenation is making enough to satisfy demand.
Trans fat is formed when unsaturated oils are put through a chemical process called hydrogenation.
In 1913, the German chemist Friedrich Bergius first succeeded in extracting a liquid from coal in a process that became known as hydrogenation.
TRANS FATS TRANS FATTY ACIDS–Almost all the trans fat found in food is created by passing hydrogen gas through vegetable oil, a process called hydrogenation, which makes oils harder and more stable.
"Trans fat is made by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil through a process called hydrogenation," according to the Mayo Clinic.
Trans fats - created when liquid oils are turned into solid fats, a process called hydrogenation - are found in shortening, margarine and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
Trans fatty acids (trans fats) are created during a hardening process called hydrogenation, which serves to make oils suitable for use in products that require solid fats, such as baked goods and breakfast bars.

five days before most states vote and you have lines. Is it an issue of a long ballot or are there not enough stations per person?
The ballot is HUGE this year, with 11 amendments. There are a total of 6 extra-long pages to wade through.
Lots of items to vote on. Several judicial retention votes, several amendments, stuff like mosquito board election. Three page ballot, both sides. But, of course, half of it is in Spanish.

Summary Edit
Just outside of Oxenfurt at northeast of the Novigrad Gate and southwest of the Herbalist's Hut, a merchant advertises a "basilisk" to a group of Redanian soldiers. The merchant explains to Geralt that his basilisk is from Zerrikania and is hatched from the eggs of cockerels. The witcher can remark about the basilisk being laid from the eggs of cockerels or go straight to telling the merchant that his basilisk is actually a young ill-fed wyvern. A Redanian soldier will then call out the merchant for being a cheat after the realization. The wyvern will then suddenly break free and fight both the witcher and the soldiers. After killing the wyvern, the quest will end with Geralt remarking that the cage was as fake as the basilisk.

Another season, another mailbagby Phil Coffey / NHL.com
|With a younger team than in years past, it's hard to predict what to expect from Guy Carbonneau and the Montreal Canadiens this season.
But here we are and Ice Age is ready for another season of providing news, notes, quotes and connecting with hockey fans from across the globe.
Kicking off this season's mailbag is longtime Ice Age contributor Dick Janes.
Glad you're back and well rested, I hope. I too am looking forward to yet another great year for the NHL and hockey, and am certainly becoming most "antsy" as I wait for that first puck to drop.
As always, at least since the late '40s, I'll root for my team, Les Habitants, although I think Les Canadiens may need to fill some fairly deep holes if they want to add another Cup to the already bulging showcase. If they erase my doubts, well WOW! But, if they can't win it all, then I'll be rooting for a new team to win, one whose faithful fans haven't as yet felt the sweet taste of a Cup victory.
While I griped a lot about the officiating last year, I will readily admit the "stripers" did much better than their efforts in previous seasons. Hopefully that trend will continue. While no one can be expected to achieve perfection in calling fouls, especially those which in many cases are subjective evaluations requiring instant judgments, I would hope that more evenness can be obtained for all calls. A good start might be a meeting at center ice by on-ice game officials on major penalties, to be sure that all agree that the call was right, and the penalty assessed correctly. Or maybe an instant replay might be initiated, as is done now for questionable goals. The problem there is the inordinate amount of time required to get it right, but perhaps that is the whole point, eh?
Best wishes for the coming season.
-- Dick Janes, Las Vegas
Hi Dick. Glad you're back for another season.
The Canadiens might not rank among the favorites in the East to start the season, but I think this will be a very interesting team to watch because of the number of young players who figure to get a baptism of fire in the NHL.
As for the officials, I hope you got to read the stories and see the video that Shawn Roarke sent from his visit to the officials' training camp this summer. He was very impressed with the work ethic and professionalism shown by the officials.
Mr. Coffey,
It seemed like the Rangers stole Alexei Cherepanov with the 17th pick (2007 Entry Draft). Although he has two more years left on his contract with his current Russian team, do you see him playing this year or possibly next year? Out of all the rookies, can you see any one contributing to his team?
-- Nick
Hi Nick. It's tough to tell what will happen with Russian players these days because there is no transfer agreement between the NHL and the Russians at this point. That might be one of the reasons the Rangers were able to grab Cherepanov at No. 17 because of the uncertain status of when these players will be available to play in the NHL.
As for the rookie class this season, all eyes will be on Chicago, where Pat Kane and Jonathan Toews are very impressive.
Dear Mr. Coffey,
First off, I love your article and read it multiple times an issue.
Former Penguin Alexei Morozov signed a new three-year contract with Aq Bars Kazan in the Russian Super League.
Also, do you think Morozov is a player better-suited for the modern-day NHL, as opposed to the pre-lockout NHL, and what team could best use him?
-- David Livenspire
Hi David. I believe I read that Morozov is going to play this season in Russia and then look at his options regarding a return to the NHL.
Good point on how he will be more effective in a style of play with less holding and interference. Makes him an attractive option for a team. As for who would want him, I think there will be scores of teams eager to "kick the tires" on bringing him back to the NHL.
Hey Phil,
A quick question. What is the purpose of the 7th defenseman for the NHL and the teams? I see there are 3 pairs of defensemen. Is the 7th just to fill in case of injuries? A reserve dressed and ready to go if needed? Thanks!
-- Daniel, Detroit
Hi Daniel. Virtually all NHL teams keep at least seven defensemen on their roster to have an available player in case one of the top six defensemen can't play. But the seventh defenseman doesn't dress for games, unless the coach opts to use seven D-men. Teams can only dress 18 skaters and two goalies per match and the normal ratio is 12 forwards, six defensemen and two goalies. A team can opt to dress a seventh D-man, but then would only dress 11 forwards.
Hello Mr. Coffey,
I would just like to point out something about the story you wrote on Saku Koivu. At first, he talked to the press, saying that he thought the team would make the playoffs, but that we can forget about winning the Stanley Cup. He tried to save himself on the second interview.
Even though these comments are realistic, it is my opinion that as team captain, he simply cannot talk like this, and it is unacceptable. It's like saying to the rest of the team: "Hey guys, we're gonna work like crazy for 82 games, but for nothing because we won't go far in the playoffs. Let's forfeit the whole season right now."
This is another case of one guy putting his foot in his mouth, and I think he regrets it. This is loser talk, and I can't understand how a captain of a team could talk like this.
Thanks for reading, keep up the good work.
-- Alex
Hi Alex. I'll take realism over pie in the sky talk any day, but that's just me. I certainly don't consider Koivu a guy who uses "loser talk," but rather one who is realistic about what to expect. Remember, if he comes out and predicts a Stanley Cup for the Habs, he would be equally roasted for not being realistic.
Trust me when I tell you that NHL players are acutely aware of how their teams stack up in the pecking order around the League. I'm sure nothing Saku said bothered his teammates in the slightest.
I am so excited that hockey season is almost here and am thrilled to read yet another wonderful addition of Ice Age. The one thing I'm disappointed in is that there is no new picture of you to look at!!!
Who do you think will win the Southeast division this year?
-- Vik, Raleigh, North Carolina
A new mug shot, er head shot, will be upcoming, so stay tuned. As for the Southeast, how can I pick anyone but your beloved 'Canes?
There is much anticipation for the new Reebok Edge NHL jerseys, which make their regular season debut this weekend.
-- Chris Casper
OK Chris, first question, too much caffeine or not enough?
Here is my take on the new jerseys. I've seen the new material demonstrated and its ability to wick away moisture is very impressive. As the system gets tweaked, I think we will see some benefits on the ice.
Now, as for the fans having to buy the new jerseys, the reality is you DO NOT have to buy them. That's a choice for those involved. If you don't like them, don't buy them. If they are too expensive, don't buy them. No one is standing with a cattle prod making anyone buy these. The choice really is a personal one.
As for Prudential Center, I pass it each day on my way to and from work and it is a pretty impressive sight, not a beast in the least.
Always good to read your column. I was glad we had the chance to work together and I know you have a true love of the game. Couldn't agree more about Max McNab … having been there for the early years (in New Jersey) too, he was a bright spot in a very bleak reality. Later, we all knew what he had done for that franchise. I always loved how Max was never surprised to see me and/or my sister and mother at games on the road. He would simply ask when he saw us; "So, will you be in (fill in the name of the town that was next on the schedule)?"
What a guy!!
-- Glenn Kass
Hey Glenn, long time, no chat.
Couldn't agree more on Max McNab, one of the special, special people you come across in you life. He held on to draft picks when other teams were offering some tempting packages that would have helped the Devils in their early days. But he won't go for the quick fix and ended up drafting some excellent players. He put the foundation in place for the success of the franchise.
Hi Phil,
Big fan, wouldn't mind seeing a few more posts, but the season's approaching so I imagine we'll see them more and more as it gets here.
Anyways, what's going on with John LeClair? Is he going to officially announce retirement or sit in free agency until his 40s?
I wouldn't mind seeing him sign a one-day contract with Philadelphia so he could retire with the team he was with for his best years. Or maybe even Montreal. What do you think will happen?
-- Chris Cleorux, Ottawa, ON
Hi Chris. No official word, but if I had a guess, I would say John LeClair is going to announce his retirement at some point this season. It also wouldn't surprise me to have him sign a one-day deal with the Flyers and retire as a Flyer.

Mo'Nique is firing back at a recent interview Lee Daniels conducted with Don Lemon on CNN. Daniels all but confirmed that he did indeed tell Mo'Nique that she was blackballed after her Oscar win. But yesterday during an interview, Mo'Nique told CNN that she was offered parts in other movies but "they just didn't make sense to me," she said.
Sounds like Mo'Nique wasn't willing to play the 'mammy' role for anyone.
"It wasn't that I was blackballed like Mr. Daniels said… the phone was ringing and the scripts were coming but the offers that were associated with them made me say 'I can't accept that,'" she explained, she stated the offers would have sent a negative message to black women.
"If we continue to accept these low offers, how do we make a change?" she asked.
Mo'Nique went on to say that she was yelling at her screen when she saw the Lemon interview.
"It shocked me… I was yelling at the screen, 'Don, please ask him what the demands were!'"
She continued, "There were no demands, there was a request from the movie studio that I fly to France for the Cannes Film Festival. I simply said, 'I respectfully decline.'"
She said she declined because she had family obligations and was working on her BET talk show.
"I had a couple of days downtime and I wanted to spend that with my husband and my kids," she said.
Take a look at her interview below:

To my surprise, their rise to stardom started with a late night infomercial:
Jonathan: "Drew and I were coming out of high school and we didn't want to be starving actors so we saw this infomercial on how to make millions of dollars with no money down by Carlton Sheets. At 18 with $250 down we bought a $200,000 home right across from the University and after a little work sold it a year later for a $50,000 profit and that's when the light bulb went on."
While their first project gave them a great financial start, it also taught them two important lessons used to grow their real estate and construction business.
Drew: "That first property was a seven bedroom home and since we were both full time students and wanted to live rent and mortgage free we just jumped on a bunch of people to move in with us but we realized some of those people were more of a headache that it was worth." As a result, "now we would rather have a property sit empty until we can find a good tenant instead of just trying to get someone in right away."
Jonathan: "On the construction side we found to that in the very beginning we made the mistake of over-renovating… putting more money into it than you'll ever get out. Now we find out who the buyer is in that community, what they are looking for, and focus on those areas while still freshening up the rest of the place."
Whether you've tuned into to see these identical twins on television's Property Brothers, or their latest program Buying & Selling, their business acumen and insight stretch well beyond their stylish smiles. They run multiple businesses in both the US and Canada, including a real estate, construction, and production companies that provide online content for their show and which will soon result in a full-length feature film.
Jonathan: "We feel that you should sleep when you are dead and right now we are in LA shooting a third series called Brother vs. Brother. This year we have some exciting projects taking place as well that includes radio, a book, and even a product line. Unfortunately we no longer have the time to take on clients outside of the show, but Drew and I do have our own investments."
Drew: "We like to keep our property investments near us so we have properties in Las Vegas as well as the Vancouver area right now."
Click below to find out which brother is still single, who writes the company checks, and more:
Their big break came as a result of their core business philosophies that include never burning a bridge and staying top of mind with clients, fans, and the media… and as a result their lifestyle shows are supported by millions and millions of viewers and now rank #1 and #2 respectively
Jonathan: "We have been acting since we were kids in TV and film and once we built our real estate company we were used for some pitches for some lifestyle shows but they never panned out. Drew actually tried out for a show called "Realtor Idol" which, even though it was a terrible idea, the network liked him."
Drew: "Our platform is to always keep relationships positive and keep yourself in the forefront of their mind and this is what I did with this production company. It was almost a year later, and I had kept in touch with them and was telling them what I was doing and that's when they had this new idea and came to us. It goes to show if you have certain things in place for business growth and you stay in touch with past clients, it can make a big difference."
The Brothers are methodical in their business and wealth building efforts, maintaining a laser-like focus on their empire of businesses, brand, and upcoming projects.
Jonathan: "Drew and I are very analytical so even when we are not working we are constantly sitting down and thinking about the architecture of our company and how far our reach is. We are always adapting to the markets and when we see that there is an opening for something like our new show Brother vs Brother, we are ready to pounce on them… we never sit and think too long to miss an opportunity."
As you might expect, the downturn in 2007 did affect their business, but did so in a positive way. Originally from Canada, the brothers saw the real estate market deteriorating in the US, so they sold their properties in Vancouver and Calgary before the downward trend crossed the border and took up residence in the already depressed Las Vegas market.
Drew: "It was a good timing for us but we had to shift over to doing more rentals than quick flips because Las Vegas isn't really a flip market. The big thing for us from the very beginning of our companies back in the late 1990's was never to over-leverage, which is how a lot of people got into deep water. It's one reason why our real estate and construction companies survived the crash."
On both of their shows, their always talking about budgets so I asked if they were personally budget conscious:
Jonathan: "We're Scottish so we're cheap! No we are both very budget conscious… that's a big thing for us and our job working with clients. We not only want to do a great renovation and to get their house sold but to also make sure they are not financially strapped once it's all said and done… we literally sit down at their kitchen table or in our office and go through with them, 'where are you right now, where is your income, is anything changing in your lifestyle like your job or maybe you're having a child' because those things will affect what they can afford and we want to make sure they're in a good position before we even go shopping for a house."
Drew: "As much as Jonathan jokes about it, we are definitely not cheap, especially when it comes to our businesses. Someone who was really cheap would just keep it all under their mattress and save, save, save. For us we reinvest and look to grow of our brand, so even if I had just one dollar to my name I would spend it on PR."

I have literally had it up to *here* (wherever here is, know that I'm pissed) with the disgusting, repulsive, rude, and on some occasions racist filth that has been spewed by so many people over the way ONE YOUNG MAN (barely) FROM THE DEEP SOUTH SPEAKS.I'm talking about Jameis Winston. Y'all did this with Ben Crump, Civil Attorney for the family of Trayvon Martin, another Florida State Alum, and I just can't take it anymore.
My mind is so prolifically blown, that I'm not sure where to start. I'll back all the way up and hope that this eventually makes sense.
Let's get this straight out the gate. An accent, particularly a southern one, does not make one stupid. Just as speaking the Queen's English does not make one intelligent. You can still say the same trifling BS using big words as you can by including the word "y'all". You can make a case around always using correct grammar, but the internet proves daily that for the most part 90% of us don't know or choose not to follow conventional grammar rules. Yet many of us, again for the most part, are actually pretty smart. I don't always equate one's intelligence purely to academic prowess either, but to each his own.
Now back to Jameis Winston. I am a Seminole (class of 2006) and I am very much a follower of football. Therefore I have been witness to Jameis Winston's many speeches. I have loved each and every one of them. Yes I'm biased as I am from the South, about 4 hours away from where Jamies grew up. So there I've put it all out there. However, in every speech I've heard of his I hear his accent, but I also hear other things: passion, glory to God, youthful excitement, leadership, etc. I actually have no problem making out his words, and if you've heard me speak you would probably not know that I'm black. (So I'm told, often. All the time. Ugh.)
But yes, he's country. It's kind of funny, but in an endearing way. I'd actually like every one of his speeches available on audiobook so that I can pump myself up every morning before work. Jameis is country, but he is no fool. In high school he was a top rated Quarterback in honors classes with a 4.0 GPA. How many of you can say the same? You may THINK that schools pass athletes through, but not honors programs. Take that to the bank. Everyone that interacts with him seems so surprised by his intelligence (another blog for another day), but they rant and rave about how smart and captivating he is. Stanford wanted him. This is not because he's just some mindless machine that can throw a ball.
So then this takes me to my next point. He's clearly smart, so why doesn't he talk like it? Among black folk we call this Code-Switching. Dialect is a cultural thing. I won't get all academic about it because I can't, I only know based on my own experiences. Essentially, code-switching is moving between AAVE and common American English for many of us. Black children are raised being told that we have to be twice as good to get half as far. We're told to speak properly, dress nice, be good black people. We're taught that if we do all of this we'll be respected. If we "act White", we'll be more easily accepted into their world. I'm not going to say that speaking properly and being college educated is a white or race thing, but let's not kid ourselves that the underlying tone of all that BS is "get the white people to like you so that you'll do okay in this life." For some of us it works. I have a great corporate job, and a pretty bland name, and I'm sure only the trained eye can pick up my blackness via my resume (Delta Sigma Theta, and other orgs). But I still rock a fro to work that older Black women frown down upon out of worry that I'm not assimilating enough to make the bosses happy. For others we're not so lucky. Sometimes you don't get the chance to smile, talk properly, and show that you're a "good" black person before they pull the trigger. My husband, a man who graduated high school at 16, Law School at 24, and owns his own successful law practice, wears hoodies sometimes, and likes Jeezy.
I hate it. I hate that I have to "code-switch", but yet I do it because I've been taught it's necessary. When I call home though and I talk to my Bonus daddy (30 year Air Force Vet, Chief MSGT, from South Cakalaki) our conversations are littered with "finna" "fixin to" "went across the skreet" and other Southern colloquialisms. Both he and I are college educated, and world traveled. Something a lot of the folks I've seen rag on Jameis may not be.
In many of Jameis' speeches he's in a moment of passion. Either he's in the locker room, playfully motivating his team to "do it big", or he just won the ACC championship game and he's hollerin' Southern Preacher Style that he loves God, his family, and the Seminole Nation. I thought his Heisman speech was wonderful, accent thicker than ever, but a great speech. I could tell he was trying to be scripted, but he has a very goofy and playful personality that kept creeping out in his speech. That is something I hope he never loses.
After he brought the Seminole Nation back from behind in the 4th quarter to win the game (I was there! I almost died), he was approached by ESPN to give his comments on the night's events. He was immediately blasted on Twitter by folks from every corner. The worst of all was AJ McCarron's mother, an Alabama native herself who had the gall to ask "is he speaking English?" What the heck is so different with me that I clearly understood every word that he said? Sheesh! Here is an emotional 20 year old (barely, the game was on the same day as his birthday) young man who just did the most exciting thing in his life to date, in front of millions of people across the world (shout out to Te'ola Winston! ha! Loved that). You expect him to wax poetically about underlying strategic priorities that had to change in the 2nd half in order for the team to pull off a historic win? GET OUT OF HERE. Twenty year old me would have stuck my tongue out and proceeded to streak around the stadium. But that's just me.
But let me end by saying this:
Jameis Winston doesn't need to code-switch for ANYBODY. And here is why. He is a student-athlete, and he is extremely intelligent. I'm sure he could sit down and take any test and do well. However, what will make him MILLIONS as opposed to $100k at a corporate job is his athletic ability. Let that sink in.
People want him to speak properly because they want him to represent us like some patron saint of Blackness. That DOESN'T exist. You can be the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND THEY WILL STILL CALL YOU A NIGGER.
Jameis did a great job during all of his interviews and 1-to-1 conversations during the Heisman presentation. He knows how to be polished, fun, and likeable. But at the same time, he truly doesn't need all that. He will be the #1 Draft Pick when he enters in 2015 (sadness!) and he will instantly make Millions. He will get endorsement deals like other athletes who may not speak proper English or who may not speak at all (Derrick Rose) and he'll be okay. He does not have to speak better to make YOU comfortable. He's damned if he do, damned if he don't. I hope he continues to be who makes HIM comfortable.
Maybe one day Jameis won't be playing football and he'll need to do some other job. I still think he'll be quite alright. He might even become a sports broadcaster. Hasn't stopped Charles Barkley, Lou Holtz, and countless others. Maybe he'll become a high school or college coach. He can do whatever he damn well pleases accent and all. I hope all the people who choose to "rag" on him, and who insist that he need not ever be in front of the camera ever again take a look in the mirror. What was the last SPECTACULAR thing you and your Queen's English did?

How "Tweet" It Is! - MFA Bringing Back "Wildly" Popular Original Singing Bird Clock
Jun 06, 2011, 08:00 ET from Mark Feldstein & Associates, inc.
TOLEDO, Ohio, June 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- It has always been pretty much a given that if you wanted to connect with nature, especially birds, you needed to go where they hung out – places like the woods, the park, the backyard. That all changed in 1997 when Mark Feldstein & Associates, inc. (MFA), a product development company and importer of giftware, housewares, and electronics, introduced the Original Singing Bird Clock.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110606/CL04907 )
Framed in Green Matte, the Original Singing Bird Clock featured images and twelve authentic beautiful songs from some of the most recognized song birds in North America – one at the top of each hour. Over 10 years, MFA sold over 8 million of these clocks to bird enthusiasts and other consumers who enjoyed its ambiance. The company discontinued the Original Singing Bird Clock in 2006 after coming out with another version licensed by The National Audubon Society a few years earlier. But, with 2012 being the 15th anniversary, and because of popular demand, MFA has decided to bring back a limited edition of the Original Singing Bird Clock this year.
"When you get up in the morning, go outside and hear the cheerful sounds of birds, it somehow invigorates you," said Mark Feldstein, President, Mark Feldstein & Associates, inc. "The Original Singing Bird Clock is the closest thing you'll get to these soothing sounds, so we thought in celebration of its 15th anniversary in 2012, we would re-launch it for a limited time."
The development of the Original Singing Bird Clock was a long, drawn-out process. Before going into business for himself, Feldstein spent a great deal of time in Asia, especially China and Hong Kong. During one of his trips overseas in the mid-1990s, he was shown a clock that had a bird pictured on its dial. He began doing research and found that birding was the nation's second favorite hobby next to gardening, with more than 50 million participants. Additional investigation led Feldstein to the Cornell Library of Natural Sounds in Ithaca, NY, which houses more than 100,000 amphibian, mammal, insect and bird recordings. It was there that Feldstein got the idea of putting authentic bird sounds on the clock to differentiate it from other nature clocks on the market. He asked the people at Cornell to help him pick out 12 popular North American song birds to feature on the clock. In addition, Cornell provided him with the 12 distinct sounds of the birds which Feldstein put on a sound chip and sent back to them for their approval. Cornell did not like the sound quality on the chip, and that if MFA wanted to use their name, the bird sounds would need to be authentic. After 33 attempts, Cornell finally signed off on the authenticity of the bird sounds – and the rest is "birding" history!
The Original Singing Bird Clock will be available in both 8-inch and 13-inch models with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $14.95 ea. and $24.95 ea. respectively.
With the success of the Original Singing Bird Clock, MFA saw the need for additional "authentic" sounding clocks for other markets. Featuring total sound quality reproduction, MFA has developed an extensive group of licensed clocks that has become a staple product in many retail stores and catalogs. MFA has partnered with Audubon™ Harley-Davidson®, PEANUTS™, Thomas Kinkade™, and many others to develop fun, exciting and decorative clocks with different authentic sounds announcing each hour.
MFA has also introduced innovative products such as Flameless LED Candles, Illuminator No-Battery, No-Bulb Flashlights, UV-C Light Sanitizers and a line of Plush Animated Animal Banks that were selected as a recipient of The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval for 2011.
About Mark Feldstein & Associates, inc.
Mark Feldstein & Associates, inc. located in Maumee, Ohio, offers a wide range of unique, high-quality products for home, office and personal use. MFA has more than 25 years of experience in the giftware, housewares and electronics industry. The company is a supplier to more than 3,000 retailers worldwide.

Ranking The Big 12 At The Halfway Point Of The Season: Can A&M Make The Top 12?October 17, 2008
The first half of the season has come and gone, with RELATIVELY little shakeup in the Big 12, barring last week. All of the teams hyped up before the season are still hanging around their original rankings, with Missouri suffering the most after a letdown against the surprising Cowboys of Oklahoma St, who many would call the surprise of the year...
Let's get to the power rankings.
No. 1 Texas Longhorns
Coming off a very tough sophomore season, Colt McCoy could have locked himself in his room for the time off, eaten tubs of ice cream, and pouted, all while watching "Air Bud: Golden Receiver" wishing he could get that type of support from his crowd. But he didn't, well, at least I don't think he did.
He has come out in 2008, and led the Longhorns like a changed man, at least for the time being. He showed composure, and made few mistakes in an upset of No. 1 Oklahoma last weekend in the Red River Friendship (Come on! They changed the name from shootout to rivalry to be more polite, pretty soon, it could be the RRF, complete with slumber parties between the two quarterbacks).
Completing passes at nearly 80 percent, McCoy's efficiency has been his greatest asset, regardless of who the games were against. Chris Ogbonnaya showed promise in the OU game, and Cody Johnson is the new Ron Dayne perhaps. But what frightens me much more than the UT passing offense excites me, is their pass defense.
You know that McCoy guy I was telling you about, blonde hair, great stats (1557 Yards, 17 TD, 3 INT)?
Well, the stats of opposing quarterbacks against UT are startlingly good as well (1607 Yards, 10 TD, 4 INT, the worst defensive TD/INT ratio in the big 12)...
Yes, McCoy has been out-passed by his competitors, all six games being wins. In a conference full of quarterbacks that are known to pick sub-par defenses apart like cornbread, the Longhorn secondary is looking mighty flaky right now...
High Point- McCoy's maturity.
Low Point- Pass Defense.
What's Ahead?- Missouri. Texas Tech. A bill from Blockbuster regarding a late fee on a certain air bud movie which was never returned. Colt...?
No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners
The near-unanimous number one after manhandling their out of conference opponents, Oklahoma came into the annual Red River game with high hopes. But those hopes were crushed, along with the punter, Mike Knall.
What!? You didn't see it? Mike Knall took an absolutely MONSTER hit, I was surprised he was even able to get up after bone-tickling, err, rattling knockdown. Here's to you Mike, it took a lot of heart to walk off the field before the audience threw flowers at you.
Sam Bradford played well enough to warrant a victory, yet unfortunately for him, the rest of the team was nowhere to be found as the game wound down. The route running was shabby at times, the running game was missing all day, and the defense took a big hit when Ryan Reynolds left the game.
Oklahoma has a lot going for them, Sam Bradford, Bob Stoops, a Tony-Nominated punter, and, following this weekend's game against Kansas, a three week stretch against Kansas St, Nebraska & Texas A&M, followed by a bye week to prepare for back-to-back games against Texas Tech and Oklahoma St. to end the season. Here's to hoping that everyone else in the Big 12 beats each other up before then.
High Point- Sam Bradford is only a sophomore, and WILL be the best quarterback in the Big 12 very soon.
Low Point- The safety allowed against Chattanooga, they were lucky they snuck away with that win...
What's Ahead?- They need to flex their muscle and pound Kansas into the ground, hopefully developing a running game along the way... Let's hope Mike Knall doesn't jet the Sooner State for Hollywood just yet either, has anyone seen him lately...? Mike?
No. 3 Texas Tech
The anomaly of the conference it would seem, Tech breezed through conference play, if you can call it that, and silenced most critics after an offensive clinic at the expense of Kansas State on the road. They followed that up by almost choking away their homecoming to an inspired Nebraska team.
Tech was out-gained by Nebraska in a game that saw Tech run 32 plays less than Nebraska. It's not that Tech had a bad game offensively, it's just that Tech saw the field less than Joe Paterno when he takes his glasses off. Harrell had another efficient game, and proved he is a leader capable of taking Tech to the next level this season.
Mike Leach called a memorable play on 4th-and-4, though it is still being disputed whether they would have actually run the play had the defense not jumped. Regardless, it worked out, and Jamar Wall let Donnie Carona off the hook by intercepting the second play of overtime to seal the victory.
Baron Batch is proving every week that he should touch the ball more often, and Crabtree is always hiding somewhere ready to make the big play. As long as Leach goes against the grain, and Tech doesn't have to rely on their kicking to win games, they are in good position.
High Point- Harrell-to-Crabtree. Crabtree has caught half of Harrell's 20 touchdown passes. Not to mention the play of Baron Batch (2nd in the Big 12 in yards per carry.)
Low Point(s)- Extra Points. This week Tech announced that senior Cory Fowler would handle extra point duties for the time being. Bad news for referees. Honestly, it has to be the greatest feeling in the world to be able to look towards a kicker after an extra point and wave your arms adamantly NO GOOD to kill his self esteem even more.
What's Ahead?- After A&M, Tech faces a killer stretch, @ Kansas, Vs. Texas, Vs. Oklahoma State, and @ Oklahoma. As long as Harrell and Crabtree are here though, the unexpected can happen... Hey, why is Crabtree wearing a Rams hat? Michael...?
No. 4 Oklahoma State Cowboys
The surprise team in the Big 12 this year, stunning most of the skeptics with a 28-23 road victory against a Missouri team so many picked to go undefeated through conference play. They like to run, but that doesn't mean that they can't pass either. Zac Robinson is a better passer, and a worse runner than the casual observer would assume.
Oklahoma State has three running backs with at least 250 yards, all of which average 6.6 yards per carry or more. Led by Kendall Hunter, averaging 144 yards per game topped off with nine touchdowns. Keith Toston, a relative non factor in the Missouri game, averages half of that, at 72 yards per game, but an even more impressive eight yards per carry.
Cowboy receiver Dez Bryant is quietly averaging more yards per game than Michael Crabtree, and is doing it on a team known for their running. I guess people forget that Zac Robinson has the No. 3 passer rating in the nation... No other Oklahoma State receiver even has 10 catches.
High Point- While Bobby Reid is here in Houston playing for Texas Southern, Zac Robinson is proving Mike Gundy a smart man for giving him the starting job last year.
Low Point- Missouri State's quarterback completing more passes than Zac Robinson in OSU's 57-13 victory. True, Robinson was 2-4, and MSU's Cody Kirby was 3-15, but I can guarantee somebody has tried to use it as a downer to the Cowboys, so why can't I?
What's Ahead?- Three even harder games, including road games against Texas and Texas Tech. This sure was a bad year to all of a sudden to contend, don't you think? Don't worry Mike Gundy, you're still my boy, I mean, errr, man... Where you going? Mike...?
No. 5 Missouri Tigers
A costly slip-up at home last weekend doesn't necessarily knock Missouri out of the national championship picture, and definitely not the Big 12 championship. Chase Daniel looked human, not to mention a bit hairy last weekend, and threw three costly interceptions in the loss to Oklahoma State.
They still have an offense that can compete with anybody, and one of the only three out of conference victories by the Big 12 over a once-ranked opponent. In a year where they play neither Oklahoma nor Texas Tech, who would have thought that Missouri would have lost a game to a Big 12 south opponent other than the Longhorns?
Their pass defense is atrocious, the worst in the Big 12 in yards allowed, and they have allowed the second most passing touchdowns in the conference. So perhaps this was the perfect year to avoid Oklahoma and Tech. But do not worry Missouri fans, you have something that nobody else in the country has, two quarterbacks named Chase!
Incidentally, the Tigers could lose this weekend to Texas, and end up in the Big 12 championship game just by ending their season with a win over division-rival Kansas. Have hope Mizzou fans, you can still stumble your way into a BCS bowl!
High Point- A season opening 52-42 win against Illinois. They showed they can score, both in the air or on the ground.
Low Point- A season opening 52-42 win against Illinois. Giving up 42 points to a team who was held to 24 or less in their other two games against quality opponents (Penn State & Minnesota). A passing defense that will not hold up in conference play if it doesn't improve.
What's Ahead?- In between must-win games against Texas and Kansas, is a 4 game stretch against four of the worse teams in the Big 12, Colorado, Baylor, Kansas State & Iowa State, four teams with a combined record of 12-12.
Missouri can play themselves back into the national championship race if they stay hungry... Chase, why is your finger in your nose? You better not be putting that in your mouth. Chase...?
No. 6 Kansas Jayhawks
I can't really say anything about Kansas other than they let me down... It's like one kid from a school (Kansas, Big XII) gets sent to spelling bee (To play a ranked opponent), and they get an easy word perhaps ointment (A favorable matchup), and they start off well, O-I-N (Take the lead), when you think they have the word spelled, O-I-N-T-M (The game won), they choke, and somehow misspell the word O-I-N-T-M-I-N-T (Lose the game to an overrated South Florida team) and it makes your school look stupider (The Big 12 look weak)...
Todd Reesing is a smart, efficient quarterback that can lead the Jayhawks to a good bowl this season, but i doubt he will be able to recreate the success from last year due to a tougher schedule. The Jayhawks' running game is second worst in the Big 12, averaging only 3.4 yards per carry, and 124 yards per game. Surprisingly, their longest run of the season was only 20 yards...
Kansas can put themselves firmly in the Big 12 championship discussion with a road win against Oklahoma (Unlikely), or a home win against Texas Tech (More Likely).
Their run defense is their strong point, too bad for them there won't be much running in either of those games... Look for Kansas to finish 8-4.
High Point- Mark Mangino's cholesterol...
Low Point- The 1st half against Iowa State. That was definitely not the first half a team hoping to win the conference should play.
What's Ahead?- Frankly, it would be a successful season if Kansas can win 1-out-of-4 from Oklahoma, Tech, Texas and Missouri. A down year compared to last year sure, but don't expect to see Mark Mangino on the hot seat after the season is over, unless he farted in it. Hey, what's that smell coach? Mike...?
No. 7 Nebraska Cornhuskers
This was supposed to be the year that re-energized Cornhusker football. The year that brought them back to relevance, and this is just one more example of a team picking a bad time to try and improve. Bo Pelini will be fighting for a bowl, not a conference championship this season, and he will have to earn it.
After winning their first three games against teams that didn't put up much of a fight, Nebraska had their first chance to prove themselves on national television against a lackluster Virginia Tech team.
Their defense was exposed, and the season was starting to look a bit less exciting. They followed that letdown with an embarrassing loss to Missouri where there defense was further exposed.
They did nearly shock the nation with a close game in Lubbock, where they held on to the ball twice as long as Texas Tech did, but when it looked like they might come away with the win, Joe Ganz threw an interception to end the game in overtime, a heartbreaking end to a game they looked destined to win.
Ganz is a quality quarterback, but is only the eighth best in the conference, and that won't do. The Cornhuskers have a three-headed rushing attack, with Marlon Lucky, Roy Helu, and Quentin Castille. The only problem is, they would be better off giving either Lucky or Helu the ball everytime.
Lucky is the only one out of the bunch who is a playmaker, and he was even stuffed by the only good defense he faced. Helu is the most consistent of the bunch, more aware around the line of scrimmage. Castille, the third head is merely a change of pace back, that changes the pace from gain, to not so much of a gain...
Nebraska cannot slip up against any of there unranked opponents, or risk missing out on a bowl this season. They host Kansas on November 8th, and if Cornhusker fans want a statement victory this season, it has to be that one...
High Point- Coaching againt Texas Tech. They had a good game plan, and the players executed it to perfection. Kudos to Bo Pelini, the better team just won that day.
Low Point- Everything defensive against Missouri. Ugly was the only way to describe it.
What's Ahead?- A must-win game @ Iowa State this weekend. A loss here would all but kill the Cornhuskers' bowl dreams. Nebraska is one of the most penalized teams in the nation. They need to limit their personal fouls and stupid mistakes to win games. As long as they play smart, they can keep their hopes alive. Bo, did you just kick Mark Mangino in the love handle? I don't think you're allowed to do that. Bo...?
No. 8 Baylor Bears
A freshman quarterback, and a new coach have the Baylor Bears thinking about going to the lanes this season, err, bowling, you get it? Robert Griffin and Art Briles have brought energy to a team that has lacked it for years.
Since winning the starting spot, Griffin has been spectacular. Accounting for 250 yards of total offense a game, throwing for nine touchdowns without an interception, and rushing for eight more touchdowns on the side.
After being the only bright spot for the team in a season-opening loss to Wake Forest, Griffin has led the team like he's been the starter for years. After winning their first Big 12 game in 13 tries, the sky is the limit... Well, perhaps not the sky, but hey, it sure does feel good to be out of the cellar.
Although playing in a bowl game would require beating either Oklahoma St, Missouri, Texas Tech or Texas, not to mention beating Nebraska and Texas A&M, crazier things have happened. Griffin is the last starter left in the Big 12 not to throw an interception, and is a much more dangerous dual-threat than Zac Robinson of Oklahoma St...
I would already say that this season was a success, for a team that I predicted to be 1-11, to be eighth in the Big 12 right now has to be gratifying.
High Point- Robert Griffin being named the starter, followed by posting back-to-back wins out of conference.
Low Point- Wasting the first game of the season against Wake Forest before naming him the starter. Having to play in the Big 12 south.
What's Ahead?- A showdown at home against Texas A&M, which will most likely decide who wins 5th place in the Big 12 South. I recently became facebook friends with Robert Griffin on facebook. Our facebook chat conversation went as follows: Hey Robert, great job against Iowa St. you're my hero. My absolute hero. You know that? My hero. Robert...?
No. 9 Kansas State Wildcats
A team with two playmakers, and not much else. QB Josh Freeman is a physical specimen to view in awe, and his stats would show that he is a top-tier quarterback, right?
Completing 66 percent of his passes, for 250 yards per game, 12 touchdown matched up to only 2 interceptions, seems stellar right? Add in his 12 rushing touchdowns, and the answer is obvious, isn't it?
Sure, Freeman is a good player, and has the size and skill set to be a first day NFL prospect. But from watching him, you can still see the flaws in his game rather easily. He has a rocket arm, but lacks accuracy, and with only one playmaker on the offense other than him, WR Brandon Banks, the hail mary doesn't go far. He becomes flustered too easily, and struggles when the defensive scheme changes.
The Wildcat running game is nearly non-existent, and consists mostly of short 1-2-3 yard gains to calm Freeman down. The defense is at the bottom of the Big 12, and looks only to be shredded more the deeper we head into conference play. Until Kansas St. can surround Freeman with talent on both sides of the ball, this will not be a contender.
They may still go bowling this season, needing only two wins to reach eligibility. With home games remaining against Nebraska and Iowa St, plus a visit to Colorado, reaching a low-tier bowl game is not that far-fetched.
High Point- Josh Freeman's playmaking ability. He is a special athlete, let's hope he hones his skills enough to parlay it into an NFL career.
Low Point- Everything else. Giving up five touchdowns to Graham Harrell in the first half, it could have easily been 10 for the game had Tech not pulled off.
What's Ahead?- Hopefully a new defensive coordinator? A midseason recruiting class? This team needs a lot of work, perhaps Freeman will figure out a way to pass to himself... Josh Freeman Drops back, throws it deep, to... Josh...?
No. 10 Colorado Buffaloes
Cody Hawkins, bless his soul, is the worst quarterback in the Big 12, yet most likely better than most of the SEC quarterbacks. He is still young, so he has time to improve, but right now, it just isn't working. You can't blame him though. The Colorado running game is poor, very poor, like third-world country ghetto poor.
Colorado's running backs have combined for one rushing touchdown this season. You read that right, one rushing touchdown in 170 rushes, with no carry going for more than 22 yards... No wonder Hawkins is struggling so much, whenever they actually want to score, defenses can drop 11 into coverage and still not be vulnerable to the run.
At least they still have that early season win over West Virginia to celebrate. If nothing else, they can celebrate that win when they're left home from bowling.
High Point- One of three wins against a ranked opponent out of conference. I'm sure they'll rub that in later.
Low Point- Father/Son Relations. You know you have to feel bad when you bench your son.
What's Ahead?- You think Dan Hawkins is going to ground Cody if he ends up losing him his job? "Son, no football for 3 years!" "But dad, I wanna be a 7th round draft pick!" "I said NO SON!" "Dad, what are you gonna do with that belt?" Dad...?
No. 11 Iowa St. Cyclones
Well, at least they still have their academics, right?
Austen Arnaud isn't a bad quarterback, and I will guarantee that Iowa State wins one of their remaining games, most likely at home against Texas A&M. They had a meltdown against Kansas, but still showed that they can compete, even if only for a half. They fought hard even trying to come back, which does count for something.
Arnaud is good on his feet, but tries to force it too often. He doesn't have the big play ability of a Robert Griffin, but is still a danger to take off just for the hell of it.
High Point- The first half against Kansas.
Low Point- Missing jeopardy due to actually staying in the game against Kansas into the second half.
What's Ahead?- The Science Fair. Hey coach, is this lava coming out of this volcano supposed to burn my hand? Coach...?
No. 12 Oklahoma Sooner Scout Team
Hey, I have more faith in them, without a coach, than I do in the Aggies, with a highly-touted one.
High Point- Once picked off Sam Bradford.
Low Point- The interception came in the shower when they snagged a soap toss from across the room. Accidental meatgaze, 15 yard penalty.
What's Ahead?- We get to suit up, woohoo! Hey Sam, when do I get to see you in the shower again? Sam...?
No. 13 Texas A&M Aggies
Believe it or not, they could actually be 0-6 right now. Without trying to be rude, or make jokes, they are making the Big 12 look bad. I was talking to a casual fan the other day, telling him who A&M's first loss was to, and he was like, what!? Arkansas?!
They suck this year. Until I corrected him, no, not Arkansas, Arkansas State... That is where the conversation stops.
Jerrod Johnson is really coming into his own as a quarterback while McGee heals, and I hope that they let him play out the season. It would be a mistake to take the job away from him now as he continues to try and gain confidence.
The Aggies have the No. 1 pass defense in the Big 12 so far this season, but that is understandable, seeing as how even Jovorskie Lane could run on them. I kid, I kid. The run defense isn't THAT bad.
Needs a win at Iowa St. to keep themselves out of the cellar.
High Point- The day they hired Mike Sherman.
Low Point- The day after.
What's Ahead?- This weekend at Texas Tech. A win could salvage their season and give them trash-talking subject matter for years to come. The following exchange between a reporter and Jovorskie Lane... "Hey Jovorskie, wanna guarantee any victories this season?" Jovorskie...?

Origin: [See Mole a spot.]
A mold, or mould, is a fungus that grows in the form of multicellular filaments called hyphae. Molds are a large and taxonomically diverse number of fungal species where the growth of hyphae results in discoloration and a fuzzy appearance, especially on food. The network of these tubular branching hyphae, called a mycelium, is considered a single organism. The hyphae are generally transparent, so the mycelium appears like very fine, fluffy white threads over the surface. Cross-walls may delimit connected compartments along the hyphae, each containing one or multiple, genetically identical nuclei. The dusty texture of many molds is caused by profuse numbers of asexual spores formed by differentiation at the ends of hyphae. The mode of formation and shape of these spores is traditionally used to classify the mold fungi. Many of these spores are colored, making the fungus much more obvious to the human eye at this stage in its life-cycle. In contrast, fungi that can adopt a single celled growth habit are called yeasts. Molds are considered to be microbes and do not form a specific taxonomic or phylogenetic grouping, but can be found in the divisions Zygomycota and Ascomycota. In the past, most molds were classified within the Deuteromycota. Molds cause biodegradation of natural materials, that can be unwanted when it becomes food spoilage or damage to property. They also play important roles in biotechnology and food science in the production of various foods, beverages, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals and enzymes. Some diseases of animals and humans can be caused by molds, usually as a result of allergic sensitivity to their spores or caused by toxic compounds produced as molds grow.

There's one major difference between OpenType and TrueType patents and EOT: the browser is expected to "decrypt" (unscramble) the font file (possibly needing the patent license) but OpenType and TrueType fonts are used by the operating system. The browser vendors do not have problem with those patents. In addition, the patent(s) on EOT is meant to be used as "security" feature preventing the "decryption" of font. -- MikkoReceived on Monday, 22 June 2009 10:44:33 UTC

Eating is one of those things in life that you just have to do. You cannot escape eating because well, it would eventually be the end of you. If you have to eat, then you might as well do it right. Eating healthier and eating cheaper should be on your list. Eating healthier can change your whole life and just make you a better person. Check out these tips to help you eat healthier and eat cheaper.
Drink More Water
This is probably the easiest way to eat healthier and cheaper at the same time. Juice and soda is full of sugar that only causes your body harm. Drinking water is like providing your body with gold. Let's just say that water is liquid gold to your body. Drink more water and your body will appreciate you for it.
Plan Out Your Meals
Planning is always a great tool to eating healthier and cheaper. There are several tools you can acquire online that will help you plan out your meals. Otherwise, you can sit down with a piece of paper and a pencil and plan out your own meals. Use the family calendar to plan out the meals for the week. Planning out your meals also allows you to choose healthier options for your family. If you know what you are going to make, then it's less tempting to eat out or eat another unhealthy alternative.
Buy Your Food in Bulk
Buying is bulk is a major hidden secret to eating healthier and cheaper. Find a local supermarket in your area that sells in bulk. You will be surprised of the options you can purchase in bulk. This gives you the opportunity to eat healthier and stay on track to a cheaper family eating budget. If you have a friend who also would like to eat healthier and cheaper, then go in on a bulk purchase together. Thinking outside of the box, like this, will help make sure you have a smaller food budget.
Be Creative
Eating healthier and cheaper does not mean it's easier. You have to be creative when you are thinking of healthy meals to feed your family. People tend to go through fast food joints because it's easier. However, your family will benefit greatly when you start planning your meals, buying them in bulk and drinking more water.
The ultimate recipe book collection provides you with a vast amount of recipes that you can try at home to impress family and friends with.

The Rise, Decline & Fall Of Dudley Town
Following his quite excellent piece for us about non-league videos a couple of days ago, we are pleased to welcome Mike Bayly back from the Non-League Day initiative. Mike wrote a book called "Changing Ends", about a season in non-league football, last year, and this excerpt from the book traces the history of Dudley Town FC, the representatives of the largest town in Britain never to have hosted league football. Dudley Town were formed in 1888 and played their games at the Shavers End ground in the Birmingham League. The club remained dormant after the Great War, but was reformed in 1928, entering the Cradley Heath and District League and then the Worcestershire Combination. In 1932 they moved into the Sports Ground, built as part of a project to provide work for the large unemployed population during the inter-war years. Over 16,000 people attended the opening match – a clear indication of the potential support available to a rising team. In the early 1930s Dudley dominated the Worcestershire Combination, but the financial strain of a move to the Birmingham League saw the club fold shortly before the Second World War. After the war, the club was once again resurrected; re-joining the Birmingham League which was later renamed the West Midlands Regional League. The 1960s onwards marked a high point in the history of the club, both in terms of...Read More

Preseason games are usually not very intriguing.
There are always exceptions, though.
The Philadelphia Eagles' fourth and final preseason game will feature the return of quarterback Michael Vick, who is now a member of the New York Jets.
It could also be the first time new Eagles backup quarterback Mark Sanchez faces his former team. Sanchez recently signed with the Eagles after spending five seasons in the Jets' organization.
Vick has a good chance of playing since he'll likely be in competition with Geno Smith for the starting job.
The third preseason game is almost always the one in which starters receive the most playing time. But the Jets' battle is far from complete, so Vick could be performing in front of his former teammates at Lincoln Financial Field.
As for Sanchez, he also has a lot to prove followed an injury-riddled season with the Jets. He'll open the season backing up Eagles starter Nick Foles.
"I'm confident no matter who I'm competing against," Sanchez told reporters. "Coming in here, I'm not stirring up a controversy. I'm here to help this team win, whatever that means. I really do respect Foles. I respect what he's done here, especially last year. He's a heck of a player, an incredible talent and I'm excited to work with him."
The Eagles-Jets preseason game is reportedly scheduled for Aug. 28, a Thursday night. Vick vs. Sanchez could be a very enticing subplot for the final exhibition game.
