No matter what I do, I cannot upload a file into my folder as an ASCII text! I do all the right things, like pick Text instead of Automatic etc. but it refuses to be accepted as text. It says UNKNOWN Format, even though I KNOW it is a text file! (Possibly the problem is the suffix to the file? X.conf?) What is happening??? (I don't THINK I am being stupid, but who knows?) I am using a Mac G4, OS 9.1, Fetch 4.0something.
If you choose "Text" from the Format pop-up menu Fetch will upload as ASCII text. Fetch always says "Unknown format" initially when you start a download, until it figures out how it is handling the transfer.
I set it to TEXT but it uploads as something else. Could it be the Linux server that is the problem?
turns the file from ASCII text to an unknown format.
What is going on? Is this the server, or Fetch - and why????? Please somebody, HELP!
Changing the name does not change the file contents, but it does change what Fetch thinks the contents are. So Fetch will display a different label in the Kind field of the file list, and may download the file in a different mode (Binary instead of Text, for instance). You can keep that from happening by adding a suffix mapping for the new extension.

I cannot deny that seeing Bridget Jones's Diary for the first time back in 2001 was a life-changing moment. It sparked within me an inspiration and honesty that would change me for good. In fact, I can say that a good reason why I began blogging is that I one day would create a chronicle of my own life which I could share with the world that would both change and inspire others like Bridget Jones did to me.
Entertainment Weekly today posted the cover of their latest issue today, a first look at the third installment of the franchise, Bridget Jones's Baby with new addition Patrick Dempsey, Renée Zellweger and Colin Firth tightly-bunched. I was overjoyed and it is a bit surreal knowing that the Film is a thing and happening September 2016.
Every time I see a September release date a hope within me is awakened that a Film might get a premiere here at TIFF. Let's hope for the best…
All we know about this latest installment is that a still-single Bridget is expecting a baby and unsure who the father is…
See the Cover:
In the issue, which features interviews with the Film's three stars, Zellweger says "It feels like stepping back with an old friend. I love this character, I like that she tells stories about what it's like to be a woman and these really relatable situations at certain times in life. It's so right to tell a story about Bridget in this stage of her life.".

Planning Committee meetings commence at 9:30am with a break at 1:00pm or earlier, at the discretion of the Chairman. Should there be any further business, the Committee will reconvene at 2:00pm or earlier as advised by the Chairman. Planning Applications will be considered as the first item on the Agenda commencing with applications from Bexhill, Battle and Rye followed by the rural areas as set out in the report. Public seating in the Council Chamber is limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
Councillors on the Planning Committee are subject to the Council's Code of Conduct. This requires them to register certain interests and when considering individual planning applications to declare any interests they may have in relation to the application before them. If the interest is both a personal and prejudicial interest they are required to leave the meeting during consideration of that item and may not take part in the discussions. If the interest is just a personal interest they may participate in both the discussion and voting on that item. For further information in this respect please see RDC Members Code of Conduct [200kb].
It is equally important that Councillors on the Planning Committee do not come to the Planning Committee with a predetermined position on any planning application. They are required under the common law on bias, to come to the meeting with an open mind and give consideration to all the relevant facts presented to them at the meeting. This does not mean that a member cannot form an initial view in advance of the meeting, (that is being predisposed to a particular view point), but they must not come to the meeting with a closed mind and not be prepared to listen to the arguments of fellow members and the advice of the Officers. For further information please see the document Probity in Planning for councillors and officers [347kb].
This causes difficulty, because members of the public, action groups etc. not only ask Councillors to listen to their views, but also try to persuade them to commit for or against a Planning Application in advance of the meeting without understanding that if they do so they will be precluded from voting at the Committee.

Father Pfleger Child Sex Abuse Allegation Leaves South Side Community 'In Shock': 'He Did So Much For Us'
Whether or not they attended his St. Sabina Church, Auburn Gresham residents say the outspoken pastor has been a vital member of the predominately Black South Side community since 1981.

Activist Eric Russell speaks to the press outside Saint Sabina Church in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood on January 6, 2021 as the community reacts to Rev. Michael Pfleger being removed from his post at Saint Sabina while a decades-old sex abuse allegation is investigated.

AUBURN GRESHAM — Neighbors share many of the same stories about St. Sabina Church.
Generations of their families have worshipped there or were educated at the school. When violence has struck their communities, they've marched in the streets to demand justice and peace. When fellow neighbors have been in need, parishioners rallied to provide them clothing, meals and other support.
Through it all, Father Michael Pfleger has been their leader.
"I've marched with him, talked with him one-on-one. He put me in a lot of programs to get jobs," said Jajuan Yancy, 26, who has lived up the road from St. Sabina his entire life. "He knows me like the back of his hand. Everybody around here loves him."
Parishioners, neighbors and community advocates were in collective shock this week when Cardinal Blase Cupich announced he'd asked Pfleger to step aside while the Archdiocese of Chicago investigates an allegation of child sex abuse against him dating back more than 40 years.
Cupich provided no specifics about the allegation, but the timeline would date back to Pfleger's earliest years as a priest. He was ordained in 1975 and became pastor of St. Sabina in 1981.
Jajuan Yancy, 26, poses for a portrait in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood on January 6, 2021. Yancy has participated in programs hosted by Rev. Michael Pfleger, who recently was removed from his post at St. Sabina while a decades-old sex abuse allegation is investigated.
It is not known how long Pfleger will be sidelined or what that will mean for his activism work. He will live away from the parish and Father Thulani Magwaza will step in as temporary administrator, Cupich said.
But Pfleger has been inextricably linked to St. Sabina and to the predominately Black South Side communities he preaches to and organizes alongside. In the aftermath of the explosive announcement, many of those people pledged to support him as the investigation plays out.
"I've been here for 51 years, and he has not changed from the time that I can remember till now," said Priscilla Piper, a lifelong resident who lives a block from the church. She attended summer skate parties and camp there.
Piper said she wants more evidence to be produced to bolster the allegation against Pfleger.
"I can't judge that, and I'm not judging him now," Piper said. "But what I am going to say is that I do stand behind him, the man. The community. The priest, the teacher, the mentor. All of the above. That's what he is."
Pfleger has been uncharacteristically mum in recent days, making one statement on Facebook. He did not explicitly deny the allegation and said the diocese has asked him not to speak out on the issue.
"I am devastated, hurt and yes angry, but I am first, a person of Faith, I Trust God. Please keep me in prayer and the Faith Community of St. Sabina," he wrote. "Pray also for the person, my life is more than a 40 year old accusation, and on that and my Faith I will stand…The Lord is my Shepherd….. I love you…."

Rev. Michael Pfleger speaks at St. Sabina.
'This Is Way Out Of The Blue'
Though it is typical for the archdiocese to rotate priests among parishes, Pfleger has never left St. Sabina since taking the helm — to the chagrin of church leaders who have repeatedly tried to force his move. The ardent community support he enjoys has been critical to keeping Pfleger at 78th and Racine in the face of diocesan opposition.
Many neighbors and supporters said they doubted the abuse claims, citing Pfleger's longevity and prominent presence for decades.
"I just don't see it. Don't get me wrong; anything is possible. … I just don't see it, I really don't," said Charles Whittaker, who lives several blocks from the church and has been in the area for more than 40 years. Two of his grandchildren attended St. Sabina Academy.
"The people down here respect him highly, and he's done so much down there — back-to-school program, live bands every year. I haven't heard nothing like [the allegations] in all the years I've been around," Whittaker said. "This is way out of the blue."
Priscilla Piper, 51, poses for a portrait Wednesday in Auburn Gresham. Piper and her family have known and participated in programs with Rev. Michael Pfleger for years, who recently was removed from his post at St. Sabina while a decades-old sex abuse allegation is investigated.
It is not uncommon for survivors not to formally report abuse by a priest until decades later. Since The Boston Globe uncovered rampant sex abuse in the area in their 2002 investigation, journalists, advocates and church leaders have documented numerous confirmed instances of priests abusing of children dating back several decades across the country. That, in turn, has prompted other victims to go public and file reports.
"The average age of an abuse survivor coming forward in the U.S, is 52, so if anything, these allegations fall within the expected time frame for reporting," leaders of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests said in a statement about Pfleger.
"This delay is normal and understandable given the fact that the accused is a powerful and well-respected member of the community. We hope that local police, prosecutors and the Attorney General's Office will investigate these allegations fully and release their findings to the public."
Cupich said in a statement the archdiocese has conveyed the allegation against Pfleger to the Cook County State's Attorney's Office and the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. Church leaders have offered counseling services to the alleged victim, he said.
The Rev. Michael Pfleger
Even as people defended Pfleger, they said they supported allowing the review process to take its course. Members of the St. Sabina cabinet issued a statement Tuesday in support of Pfleger and pledging to "fully cooperate" in the investigation.
"There is no disputing what Pfleger's legacy is or what he's done for the community," said Darryl Dennard, a broadcaster with V103. "But as a journalist, I'm a truth seeker, and we have to allow for the facts to come to light. The truth will let us know if he's been wrongfully accused or rightfully vindicated."
Ald. Howard Brookins (21st) said people affected by the allegation deserve to have a say.
"I've known Father Pfleger for a long time, and I know him to be a man of integrity," Brookins said. "I hope the allegations aren't true, but we have to let the process play out."
Denyse Misher-Peoples, an Auburn Gresham native who was in the area Wednesday morning, said Pfleger is "very important" in the community but "everyone deserves an investigation."
"… I feel bad for him, but of course everyone needs to know what really happened," Misher-Peoples said.

'I'd Hate To See The Man Go'
Still, several in the St. Sabina community said it pained them to imagine the area without Pfleger's presence and influence.
Piper recalled a shooting in the middle of her block. She expressed her concerns to Pfleger and he rallied a roll call with the police and the community to address the violence.
"He's one-on-one; he's not that type of person where he's untouchable. He doesn't just stand for the community; he stands for America. He stands for what's right. He was just rallying last week," she said, referring to an anti-violence march down the Magnificent Mile to protest the sharp increase in homicides in 2020.
"I just want justice for him. I just want justification," she said. "Justification will let us know whether it's right or wrong … . I'm not gonna judge him for that, because that's not that's not my job; that's up to God."
Pastor Fr. Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina Church writes "Breonna" in fake blood on 79th Street as part of a protest against the decision not to charge Louisville police officers with killing Breonna Taylor in March.
Yancy's mother pointed him in the direction of Pfleger years ago. He has been involved with programs hosted by the reverend since.
"He helped me out a lot, personally," Yancy said. He "treated me regularly, welcomed me in with open arms. He don't look at people's past.
"It's gonna hurt the community real bad. He did so much stuff for us; it's crazy. I'd hate to see the man go."

Interview with Milton Ogle, April 5, 1991
Project: Appalachia: War On Poverty Oral History Project
Milton Ogle, a former member of the Council on the Southern Mountains (CSM), ran the Appalachian Volunteer (AV) project after their split from the CSM. He served as executive director of the AVs until 1968 when he left to work for the Appalachian Research and Defense Fund. Ogle explains that he grew up in Floyd County, Virginia and attended Berea College. After graduating, he became a teacher. He then worked as a supervisor in a broom factory and he did volunteer work for CSM. He eventually secured a job as an Economic/Community Developer for CSM. In this position, he visited governors in Appalachian states with John Whisman, the first director of the Appalachian Regional Commission.
Ogle discusses the decision within the Council of the Southern Mountains to start rehabilitating schoolhouses. He recalls the process of recruiting college students to work for the AVs. Ogle believes that the volunteers were accepted, and he states that by organizing meetings, the AVs helped people realize they could make changes in their own communities. Ogle also discusses the ultimate split between the Council of the Southern Mountains and the Appalachian Volunteers, and describes the struggle to get the AVs established on their own.
Ogle describes the Books for Appalachia program that he played a large part in creating. Books were gathered throughout the country and sent to Appalachian schools in Kentucky and West Virginia. He also explains the difference between the Community Action Programs (CAP) and the Appalachian Volunteers. He discusses the sedition arrest of Joe Mulloy, his own involvement in the Black Lung Association, and the impact of the Green Amendment on the War on Poverty. Ogle describes his work with "Apple Red," the Appalachian Research and Defense Fund. He also states his fear that Appalachia is being forgotten again.

Dierdorff Cemetery (Inactive)
East side of SR 15 at the South edge of Goshen College
Pioneer Dierdorff Cemetery Folk Lore
Folk lore concerning the Dierdorff cemetery was handed down by word of mouth. Gordon Tresh, Goshen, researched records, diaries and manuscripts and found most of those tale to be true.
This is not a family cemetery. All but 9 members of the Dierdorff family are buried here. Mrs. Mary Dierdorff Tresh is the last person to carry the Dierdorff name. Since this cemetery has been located on her family's land for six generations, it has become to be known as the Dierdorff Cemetery.
The story of this cemetery began when Anthony Dierdorff, a Minister of the Church of the Brethren, sailed with his family from the Isle of Wright in June 1719. He, his wife and three sons, landed in Philadelphia in July of 1719. With them were 29 families, including Peter Becker, founder of the First Brethren Church in North America. Rev. Becker, assisted by Anthony Dierdorff, established churches in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. There is a building at Camp Mack, Milford, Indiana named in honor of Rev. Peter Becker.
Two generations passed before Rev. Dierdorff's grandson, Peter became a Preacher Farmer. He and his forefathers had always been farmers in the Philadelphia area and they shared their meeting house with German Baptist neighbors.
One spring in early 1830's, three German Baptist families, having hear of wonderful but cheap land in "Ioway", loaded their belongings on wagons and headed their oxen westward. These people were friends and neighbors of Peter Dierdorff. It was two years before hearing any news from these families and only then because there was a bad drought in the southern part of Iowa, where they had settled. One of these families returned to their original home after the second year of drought. They had more than one reason to be discouraged as can be seen from the following;
"Our trip was long and hard. We had no trouble with the Indians, but experienced cold and rainy weather much of the trip. Our daughter, age seven years, was never well, having contacted consumption when she was very young. We got as far as one mile south of Goshen, Indiana. in the last part of June, when our daughter went into convulsions and died. Being encamped near a small knoll, we asked the settler who owned the land, a Mr. Cripe, if we could bury our little girl there. He said, "Alright". So after covering Elizabeth's grave with wild daisies, we prepared to move westward. We were advised not to try to ford the Elkhart River there, so had to go back to Benton settlement to ford the river and continue westward."
This burial was the beginning of the Dierdorff Cemetery.
After reaching "Ioway" the above family eventually returned to their friends in Pennsylvania. Their description of the prairie land between Goshen and Benton was so favorable and vivid that Peter Dierdorff decided to bring his family to Goshen. In 1853, Peter journeyed to Indiana on horseback with gold in his saddlebags, to purchase a wide strip of land, extending from the Fort Wayne Trail (U.S.. 33), west to the Elkhart River.
The following spring of 1854, Peter with his family, set out for Goshen, with oxen pulling their wagon. (Wagon wheels were made of solid wood, cut from a tree trunk.) They established their homestead on what is present day CR27, halfway between present day CR18 (Kercher Rd.) and CR36 (College Avenue). Peter enlarged the cemetery. He provided spaces for fifty graves and built a fence around the entire parcel. He then built a church, which he called "Meeting House", in front of the cemetery and preached here for approximately 30 years.
In 1893 the church building was sold for $25.00 and moved to the Lon McConoughy farm on present day U.S.. 33 south of Goshen Ave., where it was used for a grainery. Peter Dierdorff and his sons cared for the cemetery and made it available to the public for burial purposes.
According the the Dierdorffs there is a Revolutionary Soldier buried here in the cemetery, but all trace of the soldier's name and exact location burial has not been know for years. Although Goshen does not have an Arlington Cemetery, it does have a cemetery with its own Revolutionary Soldier's grave.
The following list of Goshen community names are associated with the maintenance and care of this pioneer cemetery. It includes Peter, Jonas, Jesse, Theodore, Peter II and Mary Dierdorff Tresh. They received help from others such as: Henry Lehman, Fannie Rensberger, Josiah Rensberger, ? Spencer, Jacob Obrecht, Burt Stouder, Benjamin F. Stutzman, Daniel Ganger, Jesse Hartman, Samuel Cripe, Monroe Shellenberger, George Vaniman, J.L. Kindig, George Miller, John Myers, Reuben Trimmer, William Bowser, Francis Metz, Charles McConoughy, Emanuel Cripe, David Evans, and Susan Evans.
The Dierdorffs now happily turn this cemetery over to the Goshen Park and Recreation Dept., after using all remaining monies in the maintenance fund for the stone that now identifies this pioneer cemetery, which now stands at the entrance of the cemetery.
A sign was erected in October of 1981 and was designed and erected by the Goshen Park Department.

Honestly, my most honed talent is procrastination. I haven't met many people who can put off until tomorrow what could easily be done today as well as myself. If you'd like to challenge me, have at it. But it's not really something I'm proud of, even if I do tend to brag about it a bit.
…about my truck that I was working on, that I still haven't finished.
…in a different site design.
…with the intention to blog frequently about the truck's progress.
…with the intention NOT to stop publishing new posts for a year.
Oh well, stuff happens. Err… doesn't happen… for a year… sometimes.
My daughter is more adorable. Like way more. Our summer was pretty nice, even if we didn't travel as much as my wife would like. Went to a couple weddings. I finally got my garage cleaned up enough to use it! We started attending a church regularly, after searching for a couple years, and we're happy about it. Oh yeah – and I procrastinated a lot!
Part of the reason I put off publishing anything new was that I developed a hatred for Anchor CMS. That's a bit over-dramatic, but for quite a few reasons I just loathed the thought of logging in to do anything with it. So I started building a new website on WordPress instead.
I started rebuilding in the beginning of 2016, but it wasn't until I had a new client project on WordPress that I really kicked it into gear in September. I finally learned how to leverage widgets and the customizer to really unlock WordPress' potential as a business website. Taking what I learned, I quickly built AndrewMiguelez.com into what it is now. I plan on writing about this blog and its development as a way to keep track for the future as well as offer assistance and ideas for anyone else with a blog.
Hand on my heart, I promise not to let another year go by without blogging. I know this blog lacks a single focus, but my web design, DIY, and woodworking posts pull in a bunch of views every month. In fact, I've received quite a few requests for follow ups to my most popular Google Analytics tutorial. So I'll probably be back soon with that.


I love the look of these. A balm style with a decent amount of colour is my favourite for everyday wear. I just wish some of the mid-priced and budget ranges would cotton on to this; for such a long time now it's been virtually impossible to get (at an affordable price for me) anything other than very matte lipstick or those highly saturated, super glossy lip lacquers, neither of which are an easy wear for me any more at 48.
Something like these in the £10/12 or under range would be very welcome.
I agree…. hard to find full saturation balms.

Introduction: Hemothorax is one of the most prevalent complications after thoracic trauma. Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (e-FAST) is one of the diagnostic methods for hemothorax assessment. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of e-FAST in detecting hemothorax and its size in patients with blunt thoracic trauma.
Methods: This cross-sectional diagnostic assessment was conducted on 400 adult patients with blunt trauma who needed a chest CT scan. Chest X-ray (CXR), sonography, and chest CT scans were performed and hemothorax size was assessed with sonography and CT-scan. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive or negative predictive values of sonography and CXR were calculated. Hemothorax size on sonography was compared with the results of CT-scan as the gold standard.
Results: The mean age of participants was 43.67±22.03. Based on CT scan findings, 176 participants (44%) had a hemothorax. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and correct classification rate of sonography were 79%, 99.1%, 98.6%, 85.7%, and 90.2%, respectively. The accuracy of sonography was 97.1% for small hemothorax, 46.9% for medium hemothorax, and 33.3% for large hemothorax.
Conclusion: Sonography is a sensitive diagnostic modality for the detection of hemothorax in multiple trauma patients but tends to underestimate moderate to large-sized hemothorax. Chest sonography can be an acceptable imaging modality if a CT scan is not available or desired.

Home Domestic Policies Nurses Ready to Reach Compromise, Await Talks
Nurses Ready to Reach Compromise, Await Talks
Head of the nurses and midwives trade union Monika Kavecka (right) and president of the chamber of nurses and midwives Iveta Lazorova.
Bratislava, February 2 (TASR) – The nurses who've submitted mass resignations declared their willingness to reach a compromise in order to prevent further damage in the health care sector, TASR learnt from their representatives on Tuesday.
"Mr Minister, we want to make an agreement, and we want to make an agreement with the Government … The nurses are ready to hold talks on a compromise proposal," said head of the nurses and midwives trade union (OZSaPA) Monika Kavecka.
"The nurses' trade union continues to hope for an agreement that will be attained after a constructive discussion involving the willingness of both camps to reach a compromise. On behalf of Slovak patients, we're awaiting a step forward from the Slovak Government," said Kavecka.
President of the chamber of nurses and midwives (SKSaPA) Iveta Lazorova admitted that such a deal might only concern the approximately 600 nurses who have followed through with their resignations at present, while a different solution would apply to all other nurses.
"We have yet to receive a concrete proposal from the nurses' representatives. Naturally, if that happens, we'll be happy to learn more about it. At any rate, the door for talks at the Health Ministry remains open," said Health Ministry spokesman Peter Bubla.
Such a compromise proposal is now being put forward to the nurses concerned, said Kavecka, who stopped short of saying when it might be tabled in preparation for talks with the ministry.
She was reluctant to discuss its terms with journalists, but admitted that the nurses are ready to settle for a lower salary rise than initially sought. "Salaries aren't the single most important thing here," said Kavecka. By contrast, the nurses stick to their requirement concerning a solution to address understaffed hospitals.
Lazorova said that she's confident that there is enough funding in the sector to accommodate their demands. Both organisations also noted that it is difficult to replace the nurses at the hospitals most affected by the mass resignation drive.
They also warned that more nurses and midwives – specifically 120 in number – are to leave their jobs, specifically at hospitals in Trencin, and in Martin, Dolny Kubin and Trstena (all Zilina region).

Keana Ball was 19 when she was attacked by her ex Mark McLean for ending their four month relationship. Now she's sharing her story to raise awareness of domestic violence in Australia.

A Perth woman who was stabbed by her ex-boyfriend after she ended their relationship has shared horrifying details of the "scary" attack.
Keana Ball was brutally stabbed on her driveway by Mark McLean, 32, when the 19-year-old called off their four-month relationship.
McLean was jailed for nine years after he pleaded guilty to a charge of "with intent unlawfully to kill, committed an act or omission likely to endanger human life" on Wednesday.
The horrific incident, which occurred on March 24 this year at her Balcatta home, was caught on camera and shows the couple walking down her driveway before McLean suddenly pulls a weapon out of his waistband and grabs her.
He reportedly told her: "If I can't have you, no-one can" before stabbing her in the chest and choking her, and throwing her to the ground before disappearing.
McLean was allegedly under the influence of drugs at the time of the attack.
Now 20-year-old Keana has spoken out about her ordeal, sharing images of her scar on Facebook and stating she "felt trapped and stuck" in the relationship.

"I just don't know why someone would want to kill me," she told 9 News. "Especially because I never did anything to him, anything at all. I was nothing but kind but it backfired."
At the time of the attack, Keana shared an emotionally charged message on Facebook, writing "domestic violence is a real thing".
"It doesn't matter if it is a push or a stab, I almost lost my life today, because I was trying to help someone," she said.

The WA woman, who is also a mum, described the moment she was knifed as "the most stressful and scariest thing in my life".
Keana explained the moment she was "brutally attacked" on the driveway when McLean "out of no where" pulled a knife from his pants and stabbed her in the chest "barely missing my heart and puncturing my lung".
"I am so thankful for my neighbours and the friends I have in my life if they didn't call (the) police and ambulance, I would be dead," she added.
She also shared a photo from the scene where police waited with her for ambos to arrive as a man clutches a towel to her wound. Her pink sweat pants are covered in blood, her face visibly bruised.
She also shared a short video from her hospital bed showing her in a blue gown in which she shows her large stab wound.
Sickening footage from the attack, which was shared by Channel 9 yesterday, stunned Australia.
Keana shared the segment on her Facebook account, writing: "This is it."

The Clerical Proletariat and the Resurgence of Medieval English Poetry
by Kathryn Kerby-Fulton
Despite the great literary achievements of Chaucer, Langland, and the Pearl Poet, Ricardian English books were still a niche market in 1400. As Kathryn Kerby-Fulton shows, however, their generation was transformational in nurturing the resurgence of English writing, in part as a result of the mass underemployment of clerks originally trained for the church but unable to find steady positions in it. Surviving instead as ecclesiastical or choral "piece workers," or in secular jobs in government or private households, this "clerical proletariat" lived and worked in liminal spaces between the ecclesiastical and lay world. And there the most enterprising found new material—and new audiences—for poetry in English.
Since English book production in London prior to 1380 was rare, Kerby-Fulton's study begins in the prior century with great regional poets, revealing their early experimentation with a new poetics of vocational crisis. Preoccupied with underemployment, patronage, careerist ambition, alienation, and changing literary fashion, these thirteenth-century writers were choosing the more avant garde option of writing in English while feeling backwards to earlier tradition in works such as Laȝamon's Brut and The Owl and the Nightingale. These early experimenters invoked semi-remembered literary forms in a still evolving written vernacular, breaking ground for Ricardian writers, who turned to these conventions during the massive clerical unemployment of the Great Schism era. Kerby-Fulton's is the first study of Langland's legacy of articulating an authorial employment crisis, and its echoes in Hoccleve and Audelay. It also uses new tools for uncovering proletarian writers in unattributed Middle English works, including the famous Harley 2253 lyrics, the "York Realist's" Second Trial from the York Cycle, St. Erkenwald, and Wynnere and Wastour. Taking in proletarian themes, including class, meritocracy, the abuse of children ("Choristers' Lament"), the gig economy, precarity, and the breaking of intellectual elites (Book of Margery Kempe), The Clerical Proletariat and the Resurgence of Medieval English Poetry speaks to both past and present employment urgencies.

Conclusion. The Poet as Public Intellectual: Achievements and Characteristics of Proletarian Writers
"What a pleasure to pick up a book so attentive to issues of unemployment and precarity—realities that seem to never go away for working people. Kerby-Fulton does this by exploring a subsection of medieval workers—variously understudied, invisible, neglected, or never properly contextualized—for their importance in literary history…The book really makes us think about merit, exclusion, education, ambition, vocation, resiliency, spirituality, inspiration, satire, critique, imagination, independence, hegemony, and how we personally, artistically, and professionally react to it all. Kerby-Fulton humbly makes clear that there is more work to be done." —Modern Philology
"Kathryn Kerby-Fulton's most recent monograph advances an argument of such elegant explanatory power that it seems almost intuitive by the time you finish reading. At its heart is a straightforward account of a structural late-medieval labor crisis." —The Medieval Review
"Examining the English writings of clerics in minor orders without benefices or established positions, Kathryn Kerby-Fulton brings to notice a cohort of 'submerged' authors whose existence and writings have been overlooked. She illuminates in rewarding detail the contexts in which these men wrote and the attitudes they may have shared with contemporaries whose names are better known to modern readers." —Julia Boffey, Queen Mary College, University of London
"Kathryn Kerby-Fulton's arresting thesis is that the explosion of creativity and innovation that marked late medieval English literature resulted from the precarious working conditions of an underemployed yet overeducated elite: the clerks breaking their backs toiling away for Church and State. The Clerical Proletariat and the Resurgence of Medieval English Poetry is a powerful and provocative book written against the grain of established accounts of literary and social history." —Sebastian Sobecki, University of Groningen
"In this rigorously argued book about the literary works produced by underemployed clerics toiling in the professional circles of medieval England, Kathryn Kerby-Fulton offers a riveting account of a generative poetics of vocational crisis. A rare feat that combines the skills of a meticulous literary historian and an ethically committed teacher, the book speaks poignantly and powerfully about lesser-known medieval poets in ways that resonate with the modern precarity of the adjunct or untenured academic laboring for the love of letters." —Arvind Thomas, University of California, Los Angeles
"With a masterful blend of critical rigor, empathetic engagement, and deep familiarity with manuscripts and archives, Kathryn Kerby-Fulton offers us a new explanation for the resurgence of English literary writing in the later Middle Ages. Career disappointment, she argues, prompted unbeneficed clerics to bring their training and talent to new audiences in new ways and to do so with inventive and impassioned attention to human suffering and injustice. This is literary history at its best-and a timely and resonant meditation on the uses of adversity." —Sarah McNamer, Georgetown University
"Confidently melding social history, labor theory, and literary formalism, this vigorous book is a stunning feat of scholarship that delivers stark new insights about the making of English literature from 1200 to the Reformation. Kerby-Fulton shows us an England brimming with highly educated yet woefully underemployed men-the unbeneficed clerical proletariat-who labored in the liminal space between ecclesiastical and lay worlds, and bared the scars of their vocational struggle in vernacular writings." —Susanna Fein, Kent State University

Anybody know where I can get these?
I ordered some last year from Garden Supply, but they don't show them any longer on their Web site.
These are handy because don't rot, etc. and can be sawed like regular wood.
<Persephone> wrote in message > Anybody know where I can get these?
Without seeing what they look like, my first suggestion would be to head to a lumber yard or big box store, and buy synthetic deck planks, and make your own. What did the GS product come with? Metal brackets for the corners?
On Fri, 26 Oct 2007 03:18:21 GMT, "JoeSpareBedroom"
They offered corners on their Web site, but I didn't buy them. I just ordered the "wood". It came with several metal stakes, and I bought more stakes as needed.
Your suggestion is worth a look. I recently had side steps done with plastic wood, but it was a brand name from a catalog. When ordering I noticed HD had their own. Not pretty enuff for steps, but maybe for veg garden? Thanks!
Thanks, but I went to that Web site before posting. The URL you offer carries the corners and connectors, but when I clicked on "composite lumber", it said they no longer carry that item.
'Preciate it - I did visit that site in the course of Ask-ing "plastic composite lumber.
Trex is what the contractor used for my side steps on rail. Has to be ordered. As I noted in another reply, I think it's too pricey for "mere" garden borders, but will check HD's own less elegant version.
You inquired about "plastic raised bed borders" and Garden Supply. The site I linked you to has plastic and wood frames for raised beds, as well as corners and connectors. They don't have "composite lumber," which you may have meant but didn't state. Please don't shoot the messenger, especially the one who directs you to what you've asked for.
I thanked you and answered you politely.
My reading of the site was that they no longer carry the (plastic) (composite lumber) which I had earlier ordered from them. They DO carry complete kits for raised beds, which is not what I am looking for.
I took the trouble to re-locate the below URL -- a long one, which I shortened via TinyUrl -- so if you read carefully, you will see that they state they no longer carry the item.
This did not serve my purpose, as I already knew they no longer carry the item, but perhaps it will calm your ire.
You're right. You did. Forgive my prickly response. Hormones, or something.
Since you hadn't specified what you wanted "plastic raised bed borders" for at that time, how was I to know that you *didn't* want "plastic raised bed borders" rather than composite lumber for a different purpose?
LOWES sells white solid vinyl boards. It's what I used for my raised beds.
Email "dan lehr at comcast dot net". Text only or goes to trash automatically.
I'm having some landscaping done. It includes decomposed granite walkways framed with some kind of composition boards. The boards came wide enough to frame a raised bed, but the landscaper sawed them lengthwise to frame my walkways.
As soon as I see the landscaper, I'll ask him what the boards are called and where he got them. Be patient.
It's called Hardie Siding. But my landscaper says that it's not sturdy enough to frame a raised bed. It's okay as a header with the decomposed granite on one side and lawn or beds on the other. But with just air on one side, no amount of staking will support it.
Have you considered Hunter Board? It's a cement board. It comes in large rectangles that can be sawed. I use a Hunter Board for the roof on my tortoise's house.
Cleopatra (an ancient beauty) is a California desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii), registered with the California Department of Fish and Game. Because they are endangered, it's illegal to possess unregistered tortoises. I hope to have Cleo's Web page finished soon.

This groundbreaking Bay Area band successfully fused soul, rock and psychedelia into a uniquely funky and commercially successful sound that still appeals to a wide range of audience to this day. The group's genesis can be traced back to Sylvester Stewart (vocals, keyboards, guitar), who's family relocated from Dallas, TX to Vallejo, CA in the 1950s. Stewart took a liking to music at a young age, first studying music composition and theory, learning trumpet and then forming a gospel ensemble with his brother Freddie and sisters Rosie and Vaetta called the Stewart Four. In the early-mid sixties he became a San Francisco rock radio disk jockey at KSOL where he took a liking to bands like the Beatles and Rolling Stones. Another popular area DJ named Tom Donahue took a liking to Stewart and recruited him to work at his newly formed Autumn Records label, where he soon became an engineer and producer. It was there that he was exposed to and became a part of the fledgling stages of the "San Francisco Sound", producing records for bands like the Mojo Men, Beau Brummels, and the Great Society.
In late 1966, Stewart changed his name to Sly Stone and formed the Stoners, which included his friend Cynthia Robinson (trumpet). His brother Freddie (guitar, vocals) also changed his last name to Stone and formed the ensemble Freddie & The Stone Souls, which included Greg Errico (drums). At the recommendation of friend Jerry Martini (saxophone), Sly and Freddie joined forces, bringing along with them Robinson and Errico, while adding Martini, sister and keyboardist Rosie (now Rose Stone), sister and backing vocalist Vaetta (now Vet Stone) and Larry Graham (bass, vocals). They were originally billed as "Sly Brothers And Sisters", but quickly changed their moniker to Sly &The Family Stone after performing their first gig at Winchester Cathedral in Redwood City, CA.
In early 1967, the group began playing more notable venues around the Bay Area, including the Fillmore Auditorium and Oakland Coliseum. Later that year, they were signed by Epic Records and issued their first 45 ('Underdog' b/w 'Bad Risk') in the fall. A debut LP ('A Whole New Thing') followed a few months later, which includes the funkadelic masterpiece 'I Cannot Make It', but failed to chart. The spring of 1968 saw the release of a second LP titled 'Dance To The Music', which was more commercial than the first and includes the title track, which became a huge hit peaking at #8 on the billboard Hot 100. The album also includes the standout track 'Are You Ready'. About five months later, a third LP ('Life') was issued and includes the quirky 'Jane Is A Groupie'.
A fourth LP titled 'Stand!' was issued in the spring of 1969, which includes the outstanding title track along with the excellent, hard-driving 'I Want To Take You Higher'. Both songs became huge hits, which helped in getting them booked at the Woodstock Festival that summer. In the fall, the band relocated to L.A. and at the end of the year, headlined Winterland with Spirit. In 1970 however, they began to lighten up their touring schedule due to infighting and Sly and the rest of the ensemble getting increasingly involved in heavy drug use. They then began work on a fifth LP ('There's A Riot Goin' On'), which was eventually issued in late 1971. The album was highly anticipated and entered the Billboard Pop Album and Soul Album charts at #1 upon its release, while the album's lead single, 'Family Affair', topped the Pop Singles charts. Unfortunately though, the group couldn't hold it together with both Errico and Graham leaving soon after its release and were replaced by Rusty Allen (bass) and Andy Newmark (drums).
In 1973, the band issued a sixth LP titled 'Fresh', which was relatively successful, but by this time the drug use had taken its toll, causing missed gigs and members passing out during performances. A seventh LP titled 'Small Talk' was released in 1974 and didn't sell that well. By 1975, the band's gigs were sparsely attended, culminating in an appearance in New York City at Radio City Music Hall with only 1/8 of the seats filled. After a ninth LP titled 'Heard Ya Missed Me, Well I'm Back' flopped, Epic dropped them. In 1979, Warner Bros. signed them and a few more LPs were issued, but neither were commercially successful. The ensemble finally called it quits in the early 80s and after a drug bust in 1987, Sly dropped out of the music business completely. In 2006, the band reunited for a tribute at the Grammy Awards and in 2011, Sly issued his last LP to date titled 'I'm Back! Family & Friends'.

OK, what's this loophole, you ask? Hold on, there's a perfectly good explanation. Loopholes and backdoors are called "piglet's holes" in Finnish because pigs are cute and smart AF. It's no coincidence that our loyal customer's mascot is a pig. Well, actually it is, but it's a long story. I digress. Now all of you get why we're selling canned pork here.
Suddenly, a loophole appears. Go on, click on it! It's where we wanted to lead you in the first place. This is all very frustrating. Just look at our frowny faces!

Toddler falls to death from cruise ship
An American toddler fell to her death on Sunday from the deck of a Royal Caribbean cruise ship docked in San Juan, Puerto Rico, a spokesman for the local Port Authority said.
The 18-month-old girl was playing with her grandfather in a dining hall on deck 11 of the Freedom of the Seas, Port Authority spokesman José Carmona said. The dining area has large windows, and one pane was open.
The grandfather sat the girl in the window and lost his balance, and the girl fell to her death. "Sadly, she died on impact," Carmona said.
The toddler's father is a police officer in South Bend, Indiana, according to the South Bend Police Department. The department tweeted "its sincerest condolences" to the officer and his family "during this difficult time following the tragic loss of their child while in Puerto Rico." The department also asked the community to pray for and to respect the privacy of the entire family.
The girl had traveled to San Juan from the mainland with her parents, siblings and four grandparents. They had recently boarded the ship, which can carry more than 4,500 passengers, including crew.
The ship was scheduled to depart for a weeklong voyage at 8:30 p.m. Sunday; the fall happened about 5 p.m., according to Carmona.
"We are deeply saddened by yesterday's tragic incident, and our hearts go out to the family," Royal Caribbean Cruises said. "We've made our Care Team available to assist the family with any resources they need. Out of respect for their privacy, we do not plan to comment further on the incident."
Local police are still investigating the incident, which preliminarily has been determined to be an accident, Carmona said. The girl's body was taken to a forensic unit in San Juan.
Falls from cruise ships are not unheard-of. On Thursday, a Carnival Victory crew member was seen falling overboard about 30 miles northwest of Cuba.
The US Coast Guard searched for the 37-year-old man but failed to find him after more than 45 hours and so suspended the effort.
The Coast Guard does not estimate the total number of falls from ship decks each year, spokesman Jonathan Lally said. Still, "every cruise ship has a safety plan," and "they are required to give a safety brief," he said. The Coast Guard "strongly advises" passengers who board ships to follow all safety rules and plans.

A Glass Act
Theresa Bembnister,
The Dennis Morgan Gallery did some remodeling recently: Twelve new windows were added to its walls. But for this renovation, the most crucial piece of hardware was a paintbrush. Window Paintings, a show of recent work by Kansas City artist Leeah Joo, consists of eleven oil-on-canvas paintings and three prints depicting figures or landscapes seen through or reflected in the glass of a window.
"I want my paintings to be magic," Joo says. And they are. With her carefully rendered representational style, the artist plays visual tricks on her viewers. The way an unfortunate bird might mistake the transparency of a windowpane for open air, Joo's audience can, with a bit of imagination, mistake these works for what they appear to be. But there's more here than fools the eye.
"In essence, [my work] is about loving to hear stories, reading stories, watching movies," explains Joo, an avid reader. "It's that fictional narrative that I am really attracted to." For tangible evidence of that connection to fiction, one need look no further than the Kansas City Art Institute's faculty show, Gathering Influence: The Artist as Collector (at the H&R Block Artspace until December 18), in which exhibitors were asked to display objects or artwork they find inspiring. Alongside one of her window paintings, Joo, who has taught painting at the school since 1998, has set a stack of books that includes a Flannery O'Connor short story collection and Korean comic books.
But her passion for storytelling is abundantly evident in her own work. The window frames set a stage for her scenarios, with curtains or blinds pulled back to reveal the characters and backdrops, a mixture of fact and fiction. "A lot of the structural things you see — the image of a house or the trees out in the yard — are really there," Joo says. "The fiction part comes with the narrative that happens with the figures. I don't necessarily have neighbors that look like these people."
The subject matter is deeply personal and introspective. "Often writers will tell you that the best characters and stories are based on experience. You have that confidence in all those wonderful specific details that give life to your fictional characters," Joo says. "For me to talk about or express or deal with something extremely personal, I do need to distance it by making it seem more fictional."
Physically, that distance is enhanced by Joo's reflective medium as well as by inherent barriers such as venetian blinds, bamboo shades and lace curtains, which partially veil the visual narrative. In "Transatlantic Trunk Call," for example, the reflection of a female figure stands at the left side of the canvas, speaking into a cordless phone. The beige lines of the venetian blinds obscure her eyes and mouth, making her defensive posture the sole clue to her mood. Meanwhile, two male figures appear in the lower right-hand corner of the work, also in reflection. One hunches sullenly forward, dragging on a cigarette. The viewer sees only the back of the other man, who is obscured almost entirely by bits and pieces of the dark, nighttime scene outside. A golden-white deluge of Christmas lights on a house opposite the window blends into the reflection of the interior scene. Joo paints a picture that tells a story, but she leaves that story unfinished. It is up to the viewer to create his or her own narrative: Is the woman calling family on Christmas Eve? Are she and the smoker displeased with each other? What is the role of the shadowy figure?
Joo says her window paintings evolved from her last series, Kansas Cityscapes. In scouring the city for areas that were in the process of being torn down or renovated, she found that construction sites were typically fenced off with wire. "I couldn't look through it. I couldn't climb the fence to get to the site. I could either ignore it, or I could embrace it and make it part of the work," she recalls.
Having decided to turn her focus to interiors, Joo was struck by the similarity between the black-diamond crisscross pattern of an iron security grille on a window in her new studio and the wire fences that had fronted her cityscapes. "To me, it was a natural transition to go from the landscapes to this interior subject matter," she says. After making paintings that incorporated the grille, Joo began searching for other visual obstacles appropriate for windows. "I was at a friend's house who had a bamboo blind. While we were talking, I saw this wonderful visceral quality of the light coming through. She's talking, and I'm thinking, I have to go out and buy one of these things and make a painting," Joo says, laughing.
The purchase dominates "Greener the Grass." The slits in the rolled-down shade reveal the shadowy outline of a family: A father bends over, arms outstretched, while his infant daughter takes wobbly steps toward him. The mother, who is again pregnant, watches, one hand resting on a hip for balance. The small gap at the very bottom of the shade reveals the father's black shoes and the cuffs of his gray pant legs, the baby's pink booties and the mother's sandals and jeans as well as the grass they stand on. A rectangle of sunlight filters through the shade; one almost expects to find the sunbeam continuing down to the concrete of the gallery floor.
The painstaking detail conceals the specifics of the family scenario, leaving the viewer room for narrative interpretation. "The most enjoyable part of the painting process is figuring out how to talk about something that happened to me, but not make it so self-referential that it's like a diary," Joo says. "There's enough things going on [in the painting], whether it's the illusion or devices that I use formally, that defuse the self-reference in the work."
That kind of attention to detail requires patience, dedication and time. Joo spends about two months on a window painting. "Sometimes I want to pull out my hair," she admits. "Then I flip open a Vermeer painting and see a little detail like a pearl earring and the amount of attention that went into it. That gives me the courage to do it."
Though Joo's stories employ many of the writer's formal devices — description, foreshadowing, comparison and contrast — writing isn't a medium in which she feels comfortable. "If I could write these narratives, I would," she says. "When I was in college, I took some classes in creative writing. None of the teachers were very encouraging. They were like, 'Don't give up painting.'"
It's a good thing Joo took her teachers' advice.

The Muffed Punt: 3-0 NFL teams are killing the sportsbooks at home
Move over Steve McQueen. The NFL has its own version of The Magnificent Seven, with seven teams entering the Week 4 schedule without a blemish on their record.
The Patriots (who are off this Sunday), Bengals, Broncos, Packers, Panthers, Falcons, and Cardinals all stand at a perfect 3-0 through three weeks. And with that success comes attention – lots of it – and attention is the football bettor's kryptonite.
But like all plots including kryptonite, Superman finds a way to kick Lex Luthor in the ass. And, just like the Man of Steel, defeating our arch nemesis (in this case, the sportsbooks) takes a little work. We can't just fly on up to the window and use our X-ray vision to blindly fade all 3-0 teams, thinking their odds will be inflated like a beach ball. No, you gotta use your brains as well as your brawn to save the day – or your bankroll – and uncover their one weakness.
In this case, it's 3-0 teams playing at home in their fourth game of the schedule.
Teams that go 3-0 to start the season are good – it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure that out. They've gone 76-49 SU in their fourth game of the season since 1985, for a win percentage of almost 61 percent, and are a collective 66-56-3 ATS in that 30-year span – covering 54 percent of the time.
The real value, however, in betting 3-0 teams comes from those who are both good enough to go undefeated and lucky enough to have their fourth game be at home – a situation that has proved very profitable.
Teams that have started the season with three straight wins are 43-9 SU and 35-17 ATS (67 percent winning clip) if that fourth game is played at home. And that's even facing an average spread of -5.8 points, a line that's likely inflated a bit by the public's love affair with 3-0 teams.
This Sunday, the Falcons (-6.5 vs. Texans), Bengals (-4 vs. Chiefs), Cardinals (-7 vs. Rams), and Broncos (-7 vs. Minnesota) are all touting a 3-0 mark on home turf, which looks good for their backers if this trend continues to hold water.
On the flip side of this, 3-0 teams hitting the road for their fourth contest of the season are only 33-40 SU (.452 winning percentage) and just 31-39-3 ATS, only covering the spread 44 percent of the time while facing an average spread of -1.6 points.
That has the Panthers (-3 at Bucs) and Packers (-8 at Niners) looking a little less tempting in Week 4. The Patriots, who enjoy the Week 4 bye, are in Dallas next Sunday with lookahead lines tagging the Super Bowl champs as 8.5-point road favorites.
So, don't fear the kryptonite – at least not when it's playing at home. You're Superman for God's sake.
What about 0-3 teams?
After looking at how 3-0 teams perform ATS in their fourth game, it begs the comparison: How do 0-3 teams do in their fourth contest? Ask and you shall receive!
Stats going back to 1985-86 season.
SU: 41-83
ATS: 57-63-4
Home: 26-48 SU / 28-41-2 ATS (Average spread +2.79)
Road: 15-38 SU / 29-22-2 ATS (Average spread +6.58)
Tomb Raiders
If Meat Loaf has taught us anything about football, it's that "two out of three ain't bad", especially when you're talking about the Raiders. Their 2-1 start is encouraging considering some long-standing droughts have been quenched the past two weeks.
First, Oakland has won back-to-back games – taking down Baltimore and Cleveland – for the first time since the 2012 season when it scored an overtime win in Jacksonville in Week 7, followed by a 26-16 victory at Kansas City in Week 8.
But perhaps the most startling trend being snapped is that Oakland is a road favorite (-3 at Chicago) for just the second time since Week 14 of the 2005 season. The Raiders were 3-point chalk visiting the Jets in mid-December that season, and wouldn't be tabbed road faves again until Week 2 of the 2012 schedule, closing as 1-point favorites at Miami. Oakland – in true Silver & Black fashion – lost both of those games outright.
Pants-pooping Trend of the Week
This is a stat I discovered toward the middle of last season and watched in amazement as it paid out week after week. It involves the Seattle Seahawks – more specifically teams coming off a game with the Seahawks.
During the 2014 regular season, teams coming off a game against the hard-hitting Seahawks were just 3-11 SU and 3-9-1 ATS in their next contest (excluding Denver, which had a bye after its Week 3 loss to Seattle, and St. Louis in the season finale). It really picked up steam toward the middle of the schedule with the final 10 post-Seattle foes going 0-10 SU and 1-9 ATS following a date with the Seahawks.
This season, the trend stung the Rams after their Week 1 win against Seattle (losing SU and ATS 24-10 at Washington) and skipped the Packers, who not only beat the reigning NFC champs 27-17 in Week 2 but then went on to win and cover versus the Chiefs 38-28 in Week 3.
This week, it's the Chicago Bears, who lick their wounds after a 26-0 shutout against Seattle and now play host to the aforementioned Raiders as field-goal pups in Week 4.
The Madden Project
We're simulating NFL games each week on NFL Madden 16 for Xbox One to see if it holds any handicapping value. The machine went 2-1 ATS last week, correctly calling the Steelers and Broncos to cover. Here are this week's sim results:
Eagles at Redskins (in the wind/rain): 24-34 (RG3 sighting!)/17-19/20-15 – Redskins win 22.7-20.3
Vikings at Broncos: 23-37/10-25/14-37 – Broncos win 33-15.7
Cowboys at Saints: 30-27/20-21/27-24 OT – Cowboys win 26.7-24
Madden 16 ATS record: 8-5 (61.5 percent winners!)
Good mornin' Gov'na!
Football bettors can rise and shine with the latest installment of the NFL's overseas expansion Sunday. The Jets and Dolphins get Week 4 started at 9:30 a.m. ET from Wembley Stadium in London, England, with oddsmakers setting New York as a 1-point neutral-site favorite.
Football is hardly "futebol" when it comes to European bookmakers, but according to UK-based operator Ladbrokes, the NFL and its ventures to "Foggy London Town" are picking up in popularity.
"These are significantly busier than a normal game and I would estimate we will take around 10 to 15 times the amount we would take if this game was in the US in pre-live business," Alex Donohue, public relations for Ladbrokes told me Friday. "The bet in play is not normally as busy as it gets somewhat overshadowed by Premier League football. The fact that Arsenal versus Manchester United kicks off at 16:00 will not help in this regard."
"NFL betting in general has grown substantially due to the increased coverage on TV and extra Wembley games," Donohue adds. "The Wembley games are expected to be busier than ever this year with turnover expected to be at least double the early Wembley games."
Ladbrokes says, as of Friday, the betting action on the Jets-Dolphins game is still light, but expects business to pick up throughout the weekend, when 95 percent of bets come in. However, the early action the game has drawn has been taking New York.
Biggest line move
Hurricane Joaquin (can't get a Hurricane Jason? C'mon) is threatening the Eagles-Redskins game Sunday, with the league literally waiting out the storm when it comes to making a decision on whether to move game time or not.
Sharps aren't waiting for Roger Goodell to make up his mind. They've hammered the Under in this game with rain and winds expected to hit 20 mph. The total has been trimmed from 47.5 to as low as 43.5. It's not so much the rain bettors should be concerned about but the wind, which is the most destructive force when it comes to football betting.
"If you were smart enough to see this coming and bet the Under, you probably got a good number," says Jason Simbal, vice president of risk management for CG Technology in Las Vegas.
Let this handsome guy tell you how to factor weather into your bets. Take it away you beautiful, beautiful man…
Books are sweating…
The Raiders. Oakland has been the sharp bettors' early-season crush and all the early money for its game in Chicago has poured in on the Raiders – moving the spread from Oakland -2.5 to -3. Once the public shows up on the weekend, it could really get out of hand. Books expect the public to jump on the Silver & Black simply because they don't want to bet the 0-3 Bears, who were shutout last week at Seattle.
"When the public starts showing up on the same team as the sharps, you're going to need the other side," says Simbal.
Wiseguys love…
The Browns. It's not just the Raiders garnering sharp money this Sunday. Cleveland is a popular pick with wiseguys, who are snatching up the +7.5 at San Diego. The Chargers have a slew of injuries on the offensive line and haven't shown the firepower to cover a spread this high. CG Technology books, like the Cosmopolitan, The M, and Venetian, are down to Cleveland +7 but are making bettors lay an extra 10 cents to play the visitor.
Banker Game of the Week
Packers-Niners. This late-afternoon matchup will have a ton of parlay action tied to it and while the line has come down at bit from Green Bay -8.5 to -8, books are bracing for a huge flood of Cheesehead bets that could push this line as big as Packers -9.5.
"People are dying to bet against the Niners," says Simbal.
Mmmmmmm… Bacon
I teamed up with Rob Cressy from BaconSports.com for some NFL Week 4 chit-chat Friday morning. I'm the guy with the hat and gross beard. No, the other one with the hat and gross beard. And pardon any mistakes I may have made (calling Kelvin Benjamin Travis Benjamin), it was early.
Daily Fantasy Player of the Week
Owen Daniels. Devante Adams. Cecil Shorts. My Grade 11 girlfriend. What do they all have in common? They've all made me look like a fool – some by sucking in daily fantasy when I said they would be good, and others for dumping me for some older, dirtier, guitar-playing clown. Since this section isn't going away any time soon, we might as well just jump in head first…
DFS Player of the Week: Cole Beasley, WR Dallas Cowboys
You know things are bad in Dallas when Beasley is you're No. 1 receiver. I'm not knocking the little guy, he's a poor man's Julian Edelman (who was once a poor man's Wes Welker). And he's got ups. But with Tony Romo sidelined, backup Brandon Weeden is leaning heavily on the "Beez" in the slot. He caught all four balls thrown his way for 49 yards against the Falcons last Sunday, and was about half a foot away from scoring a TD. I see him getting extra work against the Saints and maybe – just maybe – cracking that goal line.
Cue DFS "Kiss of Death".
Injury you should know
Each week I'll point out an injury that may not register with the oddsmakers, as far as importance to the spread, but could still have a huge impact on how the game trickles out. This week's injury you should know…
Earl Mitchell, DT Miami Dolphins
The Fins' defensive line is already underperforming and not having Mitchell healthy would be a big blow against the Jets in England Sunday. He's been slowed by a bad back and is currently listed as probable. Mitchell has just six tackles through the first three games.
We know how to pick'em
Each week, we take a game sitting at pick'em and put the hardcore analysis away, leaving it up to which team has the hottest cheerleaders. There are no picks on the board, but everyone loves cheerleaders. So the tightest spread is the next best thing, and that's Jets-Dolphins (+1) in London. As they say in the UK, "Have a butchers at these fit birds". Let us know which team has the best squad in the comment section below.
Sunday's menu
My Cowboys don't play until the evening, which makes me less worried about missing action while I make supper. The games will still be on in the background, but I can actually function like a normal human being and not like some crazed "Bat Boy Found In Cave!" when Dallas is in action.
So with some extra time allotted, I think I'm going to make some slow-cooker pulled pork sandwiches. Yeah. That sounds nice.
Song for Sunday
I don't mind when Dallas plays the Sunday nighter. It allows me to take in as much of the other live action (I watch a lot of condensed games during the week) and focus on side things like bets, pools, daily and season-long fantasy. It all ramps up to a Grand Finale. So with my Cowboys owning the stage with the Saints Sunday night, here are "The Cars"…

Marijuana and migraines: does the former help the latter? Migraines are debilitating headaches that consume your entire body and can sideline you for hours or even days. Migraines are a neurological disease that affects people of all ages, and while there are many migraine medications that may be able to improve your condition or your symptoms, recent research shows that marijuana might be able to effectively decrease your migraines in a more natural way.
According to the Migraine Research Foundation, migraines affect 39 million men, women and children in the U.S. and 1 billion worldwide. Those millions of people are not just experiencing bad headaches. A migraine is a disabling condition that comes with severe throbbing pain, as well as nausea, extreme sensitivity to all sensory elements including light, sound and touch, dizziness and even numbness.
There are several treatments that can help prevent migraines and can help reduce the symptoms and the degree of pain, but the sad truth is that most migraine sufferers don't seek medical attention, or go undiagnosed, making it impossible to properly treat their condition. And even if a patient was to seek treatment, there are risks associated with prescription pain medication, especially in light of the opioid epidemic sweeping our nation.
Recent research shows that marijuana may treat migraine pain even better than prescription pain meds. Add this to the long list of health benefits and medical uses for cannabis.
The study, published in 2016 in the Journal Pharmacotherapy, set out to investigate the relationship between medical marijuana use and frequency of migraine headaches. The results, after studying 121 adults with chronic migraines, show that the use of medical marijuana did, in fact, reduce the number of migraines per month.
Another, more recent study backs up these findings, and supports that not only can medical marijuana reduce the frequency of migraine and cluster headaches, but it does so effectively with fewer side effects than prescription medications. And beyond that, the results of this study show that the patients who were given doses of two active compounds in marijuana: tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), experienced a dramatic reduction in migraine pain, a 43.5% reduction to be exact.
There's still a lot we don't know, and a lot more research on marijuana and migraines that needs to be done. But the theory is that the feel-good brain chemical serotonin plays an important role in this equation. According to the experts at Johns Hopkins, waves of activity in the brain "trigger chemicals, such as serotonin, to narrow blood vessels. Serotonin is a chemical necessary for communication between nerve cells. It can cause narrowing of blood vessels throughout the body." That narrowing leads to throbbing head pain and possibly migraines. Cannabis has the ability to stimulate production of dopamine (another brain chemical) and inhibit the release of serotonin, which reduces pain and may explain how marijuana treats migraines.
It means you have another option. It means that the future of migraine treatment is constantly evolving and developing as clinical trials and more research is done, but as we learn more about the positive effects of medical marijuana, you can expect cannabis to be a viable option for migraine treatment.


Norwich City manager Chris Hughton has urged record-signing Ricky van Wolfswinkel to be more "selfish" in front of goal.
The Dutchman has only registered one Premier League goal since completing a reported £8.5million deal from Sporting Lisbon in the close-season, with that strike coming on the opening day of the campaign against Everton.
Van Wolfswinkel has been hindered by a foot injury, limiting him to just nine starts in the top flight.
His personal struggles have been a factor in Norwich, who also brought in Gary Hooper from Celtic prior to the season, managing just 18 goals from 22 Premier League games.
Hughton believes Van Wolfswinkel needs to take a single-minded approach in order to replicate the form that made him a success in the Primeira Liga.
"Possibly he can try to do too much in other areas of the field and maybe he has to be more selfish in the box," said Hughton.
"But what you have to remember with Ricky is that right now if he had not had his injury problems, he would be in full flow.
"Of course, it is a concern about the strikers. We want to be winning football matches but I know Ricky and Gary are working so hard.
"The money we paid will always mean there is pressure on him. We just have to get the formulas right."
