Leona Graham, age 77, was an unfailingly kind, loyal, and strong woman. She never complained, instead facing life's obstacles with bravery and optimism. She was the ultimate mother, grandmother, sister, and friend to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She passed away at Harborview Medical Center on August 14, surrounded by family. Leona—who was known lovingly as Mama, Gramma Noni, Gram, Tootie, Gracie, and Aunt Noni—was born February 26, 1941, to parents Richard and Rose Underwood. She was raised in Sunnyside, where she started her own family with husband Wallace Baugh. They married on March 14, 1959 and had two daughters together. Following Wally's untimely death, Leona fell in love with David Graham whom she married on November 3, 1965 in Coeur d'Alene, ID. Together they owned and operated Lincoln Market. Filled with compassion and a caring demeanor, Leona easily forged friendships. Such was the case when she began working at State Farm Insurance Co., where her magnetic personality led to many lifelong friends. Leona was also instrumental in growing the trucking co. with Pete and Ben Sartin. She was an excellent home-cook and avid gardener who loved spending time with family, especially on camping trips and beach vacations. Leona nurtured every relationship wholeheartedly—she was a true rock to lean on and the very best friend to laugh with.
Leona is survived by three children: Virginia Smith (Sam), Valerie Eshelman (David), and Tim Graham (Joyce). Her daughter-in-law, Patty Graham, also survives her, as do her siblings: two sisters, Linda Graham (Merle) and Wanda Brownlee (Roy); and six brothers, Harv Underwood (Kathy), Bill Underwood (Patsy), Glen Underwood (Patti), Bob Underwood (Lynn), Dennis Underwood, and Donald Underwood, as well as nine grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and longtime friend and companion, Pete Sartin. She was preceded in death by her parents, Richard and Rose Underwood; husbands Wallace Baugh and David Graham; two sons, Richard and Tony Graham; grandson Michael Graham; and three brothers, Larry, Jack, and Marvin Underwood.
Leona's life will be celebrated in a memorial funeral service on August 25, 2018 at Smith Funeral Home in Sunnyside, WA. at 3:00 pm. If you would like to sign her online memorial book, you may do so at www.funeralhomesmith.com. Smith Funeral Homes in care of arrangements.

Hi. What's the biggest hard drive I can replace the original 500g drive in my 2500? Any recommendations on what to use or not use?
We recommend you to use WD Scolpio Blue 1TB HDD.
you can use also another HDD for NVS2500.
But it must be 2.5inch and 9.5mm height.
and we don't recommend you to use SAMSUNG HDD.


It finally dries up, exhausted.
sunlit trees which dance, delighted.
My Creator made me beautiful.
Ever again in its entirety.
And Jesus sets us free!
"And God said, 'This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth' " (Gen. 9: 12-16).
"For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance–now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant" (Heb. 9:15 NIV).

Now that Android Wear is a thing and watches are coming out that turn Google's take on the concept into a reality, it's time for the more budget-minded among us to turn their eyes over to some of the previous smartwatches that tackled the form factor before it was cool. One such option is the Sony SmartWatch 2, a device that was never mind-blowing but perfectly capable of displaying calls and notifications like the alternatives that have launched since.
Light Flow is the type of app that is distinctively Android. It's both basic and complex at the same time, choosing a single aspect of your phone to mess around with (in this case, its notification LED) and providing a bunch of options for doing so. The latest update brings along a bunch of features, but it's particularly interesting if you own a Sony smartwatch or Xperia phone with an illumination bar.
Sony has been surprisingly quiet on the smartwatch front since launching its SmartWatch 2. But now that the Galaxy Gear is gaining steam (or at the very least, getting a hell of a lot of advertising airtime) they've set out to put a little extra oomph in their Xperia-styled digital watch. A quick update to the Android app on the Google Play Store has given the device a few expanded capabilities.
Believe it or don't, there were smartwatches before the Pebble and its host of contemporaries. While it's debatable that Sony's second-gen watch was the best of them, it was certainly among the most high-profile watches, and the company has returned to its old stomping grounds now that the segment has exploded. The SmartWatch 2 (stylized "SW2") includes a bigger, denser display, a revised software suite that more naturally mimics Sony's Android phones, and embedded NFC.


Did you know a spider's web isn't only one mass of sticky silk? The threads that join at the center in the web aren't sticky at all! Spiders strategically take advantage of this thread to navigate interior and exterior their webs without getting caught similar to their prey.
Similar to a spider's web, experts will get held in their own social networking web because it's sometimes a time-consuming obsession or they don't possess a strategy and obtain covered by the small print. Pros who have in mind the safe thread on the sticky thread will be the professionals who reach your goals in their advertising and marketing efforts.
Listed here are 5 strategies you can use to safely and successfully navigate in and out of your social media website.
Don't spread yourself too thin by seeking to use a presence on every online community site available. Give attention to people with the best popularity for the audience, i.e. it's fairly safe that you follow major myspace like Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest. Hurricane for where your audience visits avoid being really the only guardian on the dead space no person visits anymore.
The key to reflect upon with conseguir likes comentario will be the platform is built to network also to socialize. Successful networking is conducted with an individual basis to build an association. You maintain that connection by socializing and sharing your certain insight and position. Be yourself and share your most compelling insights, not just on your own profile, but engage and many thanks for audience to inspire reciprocation.
People desire to be knowledgeable that's strongly related to them. They need to know what's taking place, what's available, be as part of the conversation, correspond with other folks, know what's happening, and even more. Develop into a beacon of positivity and share exactly what you like and in many cases love. Audiences have a tendency to lean toward the relevant and positive, instead of the negative and irrelevant.
Ever logged in your own social media accounts, saw your wall flooded with irrelevant posts by others, coupled with that a sense of "not you again!" Always place quality over quantity. See that balance you'll want to prevent yourself from being ignored, unliked, unfollowed, etc. Get the sweet spot between an excessive amount and insufficient. Consistently post a variety of items with a variety of topics (e.g. 1 photo, 1 text-based post, 1 link, etc.) to keep it fresh and avoid inundating your audience with 1 kind of post that's easily ignored.
You'll have tons of followers and still have no success in your efforts. This can be a results of concentrate on numbers without on quality involvement. The quantity of people following you is less important than how we actually get connected to them. An engaged audience is definitely an active audience that can help spread your credibility and message. Focus on your immediate audience (those actually listening) plus much more followers will brighten your future.

November hike via Right Fork Maple Canyon
Utah, United States, North America
Bruce Christensen
Spanish Fork Peak
40.08800°N / 111.527°W
Date Climbed/Hiked:
Last week I ran into Ben, who has been in a couple of my recreation managment classes, on campus, and we talked about hiking together. He invited Rich, who was in our canyoneering class, and I invited my brother David. The four of us left Provo a little after 4:30 a.m. and set off toward the trailhead.
I had called the Uinta National Forest earlier in the week to see if the Maple Canyon road was still open, and the ranger I talked to said that the road was closed pretty close to the mouth of the canyon, so I had planned on an extra two mile hike from the car to the trailhead. However, when we arrived we were pleasantly surprised to discover that the gate was open, and we could drive to within a quarter mile of the trailhead. Although I was glad that we had a shorter hike than expected, I was a little irked that I had gotten up earlier than it turned out I needed to.
We hit the trail at 5:25 a.m. After a short walk up a gravel road, we crossed the stream that flows down Maple Canyon (on rocks; we didn't get wet) and started up the main trail, which was very well maintained--a nice contrast to the bushwhacking it seems like I usually do. We were on dirt for the first couple miles, but after that there was patchy hard snow for a lot of the way. It was pretty cold (probably 10-15°F), and it had been a little while since it had snowed, so the snow was really hard, making for good walking. The snow on the trail itself had been packed into very slick ice, so we stuck to the untracked snow to the sides.
We passed Maple Canyon Lake (which was more of a pond, really) a little before dawn and continued up into the basin below the summit. Ben suggested climbing up a couloir instead of taking the switchbacks up the ridge. That looked pretty fun, so we started up. I noticed that David was lagging behind, though, so I told Ben and Rich to keep going and I waited for him.
The coldest time of the day is right at or a little after dawn, which is when we started up the couloir. David's hands had gotten painfully cold, so we decided to go back down to the trail since the sun, which was rising above the ridge to the east, had just reached the trail. We stopped, warmed up his hands a little, and had something to eat before continuing.
Once we were on the ridge above the basin, the hike to the summit was pretty easy. We arrived just after 9 a.m. and spent about five minutes taking pictures and enjoying the view. We could see Provo Peak and Mount Timpanogos to the north, and Santaquin Peak and Mount Nebo to the west.
The hike down was spiced up by a couple of things: we glissaded down a chute from the summit ridge to the basin below, and we played around on the frozen lake for a little while. The lake had several inches of ice on it, so we slid around and played for a few minutes. I was curious how thick the ice was, so I grabbed an ice ax and started chopping. After I had chopped away three or four inches, water started bubbling out of the hole I had cut. Rich kept chopping (soaking the front of his pants in the process), and we eventually made the hole big enough to stick the ax shaft in. The "lake" had about four inches of ice, and the water was only about a foot deep where we were.
From the lake we kept a pretty good pace the rest of the way to the car, and we arrived back at noon, ten miles, 4600 feet of elevation gain, and a little over six and a half hours after we began.
I've attached some of my pictures to this trip report. The rest are available in my Picasa gallery.

When human skills are just not enough
Nahoc
I'm Nahoc, a French-Canadian guy. I've been following TASvideos since 2005. I've always enjoyed seeing games pushed to their limits.
In 2011, I decided to help the community a bit more and became a publisher/active player. I also attempted to submit an improved SM64 "16 Stars" run, but it got rejected (see it here).
In 2012, I've had eight N64 movies published, became a judge, a moderator on the forums, and obtained the "skilled player" rank. I mostly did Super Mario 64 TASes, aswell as some HD encodes of other TAS movies on the site.
As of 2013 I am no longer active, although I browse the site once in a while.
You can watch my videos here, on my YouTube channel. If you have any question, ask me on twitter (@Nahoc10).

In this run, Nahoc collects all shards while showing off some of the abilities this game has to offer. Please read the submission text for more information.

Chameleon Twist 2 (カメレオンツイスト2) takes place after the events in Chameleon Twist. Davy and his friends (Jack, Fred and Linda) are playing in the forest, still carrying the backpack from his last adventure, when suddenly the rabbit from before falls down and knocks one of the chameleons into the sky.
Contrary to the Chameleon Twist run, all 6 levels need to be played through in order to reach the end; Sky Land, Carnival Land, Ice Land, Great Edo Land, Toy Land and Pyramid Land.

- Uses hardest difficulty
Bomberman 64 (爆ボンバーマン Baku Bonbāman) is the first 3-D game within the Bomberman series. It also implements a different single-player mode by incorporating action-adventure and platforming stages, instead of arenas in which enemies or other elements must be destroyed.
This TAS is played on the Japanese version because of its shorter intro.
If you want to see more Bomberman goodness, we have plenty more Bomberman Movies. There is also a 100% run by zvsp.

Backwards Long Jump (BLJ) is a game breaking glitch not used in this Super Mario 64 run so that the runners can show off a variety of other lesser known glitches. Despite BLJ being banned, Mario shows that he can still collect 70 stars with ninja-like reflexes.
BLJ can be seen in the 0 Stars and 120 Stars runs.

View Publication - Takes damage to save time
The protagonist of this game is a blue chameleon named Davy who, upon following a rabbit (closely resembling the one from a Lewis Carroll book) into a magical hole in the ground, finds he has taken on a humanoid form.
Chameleon Twist has a total of 6 levels, of which only 4 need to be played through in order to reach the end.
This run is 11.33 seconds faster than the previous run thanks to a timesaver in the second candle room and a better fight against the last boss.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (1999) is the first entry in the Tony Hawk series of video games.
Nahoc improves his previous run by 1.55 seconds, thanks to better strategies in Skate Park Chicago and Burnside Portland.

- Uses death to save time
In a shocking twist of events, Bowser kidnaps Peach inside her own castle. Mario shows up and rains on Bowser's parade by collecting all 120 stars and winning in record time.
Numerous bugs are exploited in order to speed up Mario's progress and the physics engine is abused to its fullest.
This is an improvement of 18:08.33 over the previous movie by Rikku.
If you prefer to see the game beaten in the fastest time, then watch the "0 Stars" run.

- Major skip glitch
A wizard is mixing a batch of magic potions when an explosion sends the gloves on his hands flying into the air. One lands safely outside the castle, but the other lands in an evil potion mixture. It's this evil glove who decides to take over the castle. Meanwhile, seven crystals, which used to sit on top of the castle and give the surrounding lands their life force, also fly off in all directions. Thankfully though, the good glove, Glover, changes the crystals into rubber balls so that they land safely.
Now Glover must find the crystals and put them back into the castle to restore life to the land, avoiding the bad glove who is out to stop him and take over the kingdom and the wizard's power.
Nahoc hops, bounces, and dribbles his way through this game, taking advantage of a conveniently-placed crystal to skip right to the boss room in every stage.
If you want to see more of Glover, we also have an all stages run.
N64 Chameleon Twist (USA) in 11:15.7 by Nahoc.
This run is 1:24.63 faster than the previous run.
In this run, Nahoc aims to finish the game as fast as possible. Thus, he only gets bronze medals in the three competitions and skips four hidden tapes.

At first there were 70 stars because Bowser demanded it. Then there were 16 stars because MIPS the rabbit demanded it. Then there was 1 star because Bowser's Sub demanded it. Now there are none because the viewers are impatient and demanded the game be quicker.
As with many other runs on this site, the goal of pure speed has resulted in the complete breaking of the game. Very little of the game's normal play remains. If you'd like to see more of what Super Mario 64 offers, see the 120 stars run.
This movie is 20 frames faster than the previous movie due to a new route and extreme optimization, explained in the submission message.
Super Mario 64 has a history of publications on this site. If you wish to see how it unfolded since the beginning, see the page SM64TASHistory. Also, if you have a hankering to see MIPs the rabbit, the 16 stars route has been improved.

It's Time to Eliminate Social Security Tax
Category: Editorials Editorials
Published: 25 January 2022 25 January 2022
By Paul Gessing
In the wake of Gov. Lujan Grisham's State of the State address, Republican House Minority Leader State Rep. Jim Townsend, said that during the speech he thought the governor "almost became a Republican." He's not wrong.
After three full years and legislative sessions (not to mention multiple special sessions and the constant invocation of her "emergency" powers) of governing as a hard left "progressive," the Gov. seems to be tacking to the center in advance of her reelection bid this fall. This may be both good policy as well as good politics.
Specifically, in her State of the State address Lujan Grisham announced that she wants New Mexico to stop taxing Social Security. New Mexico is one of just 13 states in the nation to do this and bi-partisan efforts have been made in recent years to eliminate or vastly reduce the tax. Her support for repeal is welcome.
The Gov. acknowledged that the state has the money, as evidenced by her ambitious budget which contains a 13.5% spending increase over last year. The $80 million or so in "lost" revenue from ending the tax is a drop in the bucket when compared with the flood of new revenues. This is a flood that seems likely to continue with high oil prices and record production in the Permian Basin. So, New Mexico has plenty of money to cut taxes. In fact, the Gov. and Legislature should be looking for ways to use this flood of new money to both cut and reform taxes in ways that help diversify the economy.
Want to know how your vaccine batch shows up in VAERS?
If you have concerns about the Covid-19 vaccines, these links may alleviate your worry or accelerate them. Always do your own research. Don't rely on anyone to tell you what to believe!

One Year of President Biden: American Energy Independence Lost
Washington, D.C. – Today marks 365 days since Joe Biden took office, and also the one-year anniversary of a series of events that have eroded American energy independence. On the first day of his administration, President Biden cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline and began a series of attacks that would deliver gas prices that are now more than 33 percent higher, massive inflation and home heating costs that have increased as much as 54 percent. The Biden Administration claims they are not to blame for these huge increases, but it is clear their attacks on energy have real consequences. Power The Future, a non-profit organization that advocates for American energy workers, has outlined the actions taken by the administration that have undermined American energy independence.
"From day one, President Biden targeted American energy workers and now everyone in the country is seeing the results," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future. "The fact that the Biden Administration is recognizing their one-year anniversary by blaming others and fighting for Vladimir Putin's pipeline should be a huge red flag to American families. Joe Biden isn't fixing this problem because the problem is Joe Biden."

Governor Lujan Grisham Fights to Increase Taxes and Gas Prices to Fund Green Agenda
Albuquerque – Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham outlined her legislative agenda today, which will include out-of-touch proposals to raise taxes and further increase the cost of gas. Each of these proposals come as New Mexico receives $5.3 billion in record tax revenue from the energy industry while Santa Fe leadership makes the state a national leader in unemployment.
"While Santa Fe is flooded with cash, there's clearly a drought of common sense from the Governor," said Larry Behrens, Communications Director for Power The Future. "These proposals are so out-of-touch it's difficult to understand why the Governor would even want them, until you remember the Governor is fighting for campaign donations from radical environmentalists first and New Mexico's families last."
How NM voter laws compare to other states and nations
When we vote in-person or request an absentee ballot for a state or federal election in New Mexico, we don't have to show any identification. How do our voter laws compare to those of other states and nations?
According to Ballotpedia, New Mexico is one of 15 states that does not require voter ID for in-person voting. Republicans control the state legislature in 3 of the states, there is split legislative control in another and the remaining 11 states all have Democrat control.
At the other end of the spectrum, there are 20 states that have photo ID requirements for in-person voting. Two states have Democrat controlled legislatures while all the remaining 18 have Republican controlled legislatures. The remaining 15 states have non-photo ID document requirements.
Fixing New Mexico's Failed Educational System Must Be a Priority
By House Republican Leader Jim Townsend (Artesia)
As the 2022 Legislative Session begins, lawmakers are going to be confronted with a slew of problems. No one needs to be reminded that New Mexico continues to land at or near the bottom of every critical ranking to know that our state is in dire need of change. From crime, healthcare, economic opportunity, child wellbeing, and education, the progressive policymakers who are leading our state have failed in creating a thriving New Mexico. And once again, these same elected lawmakers will try to chip away at some of these mounting problems rather than fixing what we all know is the core problem --- a failed educational system that is shortchanging our children and grandchildren while also offering a bleak future for our state.
How do we expect incomes to rise, crime to decrease, and the quality of life to improve when New Mexico's public K-12 schools are dead last compared to every other state? We can't. But, the progressives' solution is simply to throw more and more money at this, a broken system. In other words, we are draining our savings account to continually repaint and patch walls on a house that has a deteriorating foundation; the house just needs to be rebuilt.
We also have failed to recognize our school funding formula, an idea meant to provide equality in education across the state, has actually resulted in creating major disparities in the quality of education statewide. In far too many cases, we are locking low-income families into attending failed schools simply because of their address. Sadly, kids in the far northeast heights of Albuquerque are receiving a far better learning experience than those in central Albuquerque or the south valley.
Defeat of Cruz Nord Stream 2 Sanctions Further Weakens America
Biden's congressional enablers each deserve their own chapter in Profiles in Cowardice.
Washington, D.C. – Today, Power The Future released the following statement in after the Senate defeated a bill that would impose sanctions on businesses linked to Vladimir Putin's Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which will allow the Kremlin to further exert influence in the region and weaken America's standing in the world:
"The American left has spent the last five years complaining about Russian collusion, yet they supported a measure that would enrich and empower Vladimir Putin," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future. "As if that hypocrisy were not appalling enough, these same senators who were so quick to decry American-based pipelines that support jobs and energy independence had no problem greenlighting both for Russia. In less than a year, President Biden has presided over a precipitous decline in America's standing in the world, starting with the erosion of our energy independence. He has had help from these congressional enablers every step of the way, and each deserves his or her own chapter in Profiles in Cowardice."
Power The Future Slams Biden Administration for Re-Imposing Obama Era Regulations in National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska
Anchorage, Alaska – Today, Rick Whitbeck, Alaska state director of Power The Future, issued the following statement on the Biden administration's decision to return to Obama-era regulations in the vast National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska on the North Slope that prohibits potential oil and gas leasing on an additional 7 million acres of reserve:
"The next time the Biden Administration claims they are powerless to stop high gas prices, remember this decision. For generations, the people of Alaska have done their part to deliver affordable and reliable energy to our nation and the decision by the Interior Department not only hurts jobs and our economy but also provides another nail in the coffin of American energy independence. Alaska and America can do better."

More and more modern business is based on intellectual property rights. But just what is intellectual property?
Intellectual property law covers any and all of the areas of copyright law, patent law, trademark registration, design rights and plant rights. But the titles don't always help, and you need a mixture of common sense and expertise to understand what your intellectual property rights are, and how you could or should protect them.
Thomas Biss has worked in the intellectual property departments of leading law firms in Auckland and England, and can advise across the breadth of this complex area of law. If necessary we also have relationships with specialist barristers who have the full range of technical expertise to deal with any intellectual property issues that comes up.
There is more to intellectual property than just protecting it. Protection is nothing if you can't use it. IP exploitation is a key aspect of all IP portfolios. This can involve licensing a third party to allow them to use your IP rights, or using the rights yourself and preventing anyone else from infringing. Our role as intellectual property lawyers is to help you make best use of your IP rights in a way that maximises your revenue.

Big Bash League cricket could be the first national level event played at the redeveloped Lavington Sports Ground which is less than two months from being completed. Cricket Albury-Wodonga chairman Michael Erdeljac confirmed the venue undergoing a $19.6 million makeover had been put forward for both men's and women's Twenty20 domestic competitions this summer. The release of the 2020-21 fixture is due out this month with the Lavington venue strategically placed to capitalise on any Victorian venues which could be ruled out due to the worsening coronavirus situation in Melbourne. Cricket Australia and Cricket NSW representatives are due to inspect the facility this month. Asked whether BBL matches could be played at Lavington this summer, Mr Ederljac said: "Absolutely. "That is the plan." Mr Erdeljac confirmed the wicket area on the main ground at Lavington was also being upgraded in preparation for wooing BBL action. "We have done a fair bit of work on this," he said. "We have the advantage of holding BBL games here in the past by working closely with Albury Council. "In NSW we could be playing cricket this Saturday." IN OTHER NEWS Albury mayor Kevin Mack was tight-lipped on what events were being sought for the venue post a trouble-plagued redevelopment, particularly in its early stages. "We're looking forward to progressing opportunities for some exciting events at the redeveloped ground," he said. "But nothing can be confirmed at this stage due to COVID-19. "The grandstand upgrade and extension is steadily developing and is expected to be completed in August. "The Pearsall Street car park is now completed and work will start in the next two weeks on the Centaur Road car park." Although the August completion date has always been in place, head contractor Hansen Yuncken has been able to carry out works without regular weekend sporting activity due to the Ovens and Murray Football-Netball League season being cancelled due to coronavirus. "Council and contractors made provisions for sporting activity to take place on the main ground with some restrictions in place due to the construction," Cr Mack said. "However, the COVID-19 situation has led to a less interrupted construction program over recent months." BBL warm-up matches have been previously played at Lavington. The venue could also be in the mix to secure some of the 2023 Women's World Cup soccer action with Albury included in the bid as a regional training base options. Lavington hosted an A-League soccer match for points before the upgrade.

Patriots Defeat Lions 20-12
DETROIT (AP) _ The New England Patriots did a much better job overcoming their young quarterback's mediocre play than the Detroit Lions did.
Neither Tom Brady nor Joey Harrington was at his best Thursday, but Antowain Smith ran for 80 yards and scored the only touchdown to lead the Super Bowl champions past Detroit 20-12.
The Patriots (7-5) have won four of five games _ after losing four straight _ to pull within half a game of AFC East-leading Miami.
The Lions (3-9) have dropped four straight games and lost consecutive games on Thanksgiving Day for the first time since 1992-93.
After Jason Hanson's fourth field goal cut Detroit's deficit to 20-12 with under 10 minutes left, the Patriots ran out the clock by driving from their 19 to Detroit's 2. Brady then kneeled to end the game.
New England needed fewer than six minutes to grab a 10-0 lead at the start of the game and never let the Lions get closer than 7.
New England's Troy Brown caught 10 passes for 111 yards.
The QBs combined for four interceptions.
Brady, the Super Bowl MVP in just his second season, was only 18-of-30 for 210 yards with an interception and no touchdowns. Harrington, a rookie, threw three first-half interceptions and finished 22-of-44 for 210 yards with no TD passes.
A national-television audience witnessed what those following the Lions have seen for weeks _ Harrington is struggling. He has thrown nine interceptions and five TDS in his past five games.
"Jo-ey! Jo-ey!" chants at Ford Field have given way to boos for Harrington. There were even sarcastic cheers late in the first half when he threw a ball away instead of forcing a pass or taking a sack. He often sat, stood or kneeled alone quietly when Detroit's defense was on the field.
Adam Vinatieri's 31-yard kick on the game's opening possession put the Patriots ahead 3-0. Two plays later, Tedy Bruschi's interception and 27-yard return _ his second score of the season _ made it 10-0. The seventh-year linebacker fooled Harrington by faking a blitz and dropping back into coverage to step in front of a short pass over the middle.
Hanson's 23-yard field goal late in the first quarter capped a 13-play drive that was kept alive by a New England penalty on third down.
Later, defensive end Bobby Hamilton intercepted Harrington's pass at the Lions' 19. That led to Smith's 1-yard run, which put New England ahead 17-3 with 2:24 left in the half.
Hanson's 45-yard kick late in the first half moved him past Eddie Murray as the Lions' career leading scorer with 1,115 points.
Three straight drives bridging the last two quarters ended with field goals, two by Hanson and one by Vinatieri.
Detroit lost for just the second time in 14 games when Hanson makes four field goals.

Owned by the community, managed by the community, for Wilton
Why Do We Need A Land Trust?
As a nation we are not building enough homes and haven't done so in decades. We are building less than half the homes needed just to keep up with the new households forming each year. The result is that in many parts of the country rents are soaring and house prices are going through the roof, making it simply unaffordable for many people to have their own home. In rural areas local families are being priced out and community facilities, like shops, schools and pubs are closing. In urban areas there are many properties sitting empty and decaying with areas suffering from low investment or failed regeneration.
One way of tackling this is for local people just like you to come together to form a Community Land Trust. These local organisations are set up and run by volunteers and develop and manage genuinely affordable homes based on what local people earn. CLTs can do the same for pubs, shops, gardens and low cost workspaces. By retaining ownership of the land on which the buildings sit they ensure that these places are affordable not just for now but for every future occupier.
As the local community, through the CLT, determines what is built, we can decide what types of homes we need. Including the design and allocations. First, we need land. It's either bought by the Community Land Trust or given to it. The CLT then builds the homes or assets by commissioning builders, or working with a developer or housing association or even building it themselves. We remain long term stewards of the land we own ensuring the assets remain available and affordable to the local community.
Since our formation, Wilton Community Land Trust has worked to influence how development will take place on the former Erskine Barracks site on The Avenue and since its acquisition by Redrow Homes Ltd we continue to be closely involved in shaping the regeneration of the site. The former Erskine Barracks site has been renamed 'Wilton Hill' and there is now a separate website, where you can more information about this innovative development.
There are now over 225 Community Land Trusts in England and Wales, and the sector has grown six-fold in the last six years. The largest Community Land Trusts have over 1000 members each. Community Land Trusts have developed over 700 permanently affordable homes to date and will have developed a further 3000 homes by 2020.
Why does Wilton need one?
With increased development planned, South Wiltshire is changing and Wilton is no exception.
Wilton Community Land Trust provides a realistic alternative to profit-led private development.
It gives the people an opportunity to benefit, by for example, buying sites in the town, and developing and managing them for the community; development of the kind that people actually want.
After considerable local consultation Wilton Community Land Trust was founded in April 2012 to offer an alternative to private development with its need for profit-driven investment. Wilton CLT works alongside other organisations such as Wilton Town Council to ensure a coordinated approach.
A CLT is a community initiative so first of all you could get involved by joining. Lifetime membership of Wilton Community Land Trust costs only £1. Members can have a say, vote at the AGM, you could join the Board and you'll be kept informed about what's happening, For more details click here.
As well as the development at Wilton Hill (old Erskine Barracks site) we've helped with a number of other projects. These included The Great Green Challenge, South Wiltshire Green Doors, a river clearance exercise, an upcoming Men's Shed and more. There's always a need for more volunteers to help with some aspects of what we do. Contact the Land Trust here to enquire about volunteering opportunities or to join our Board.
Help Find Land
Every affordable housing project needs land to build on. We're always looking for potential sites in and around Wilton that may be available. We can secure sites if they're gifted to us or through purchase enabled by government fund schemes or grants. Let us know about any suitable land you're aware of here.
