This is great news. Green Arrow is one of my favorites. This game is looking better with every news. And if the story is great, they might just as well start a new alternate DC Universe

Six more new Injustice: Gods Among Us characters are: Superboy, Supergirl, Robin, Batgirl, Captain Marvel and Black Adam.
On second thought, can you confirm all skins for all the characters in DLC?
Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2012 12:26 pm
No, we cannot confirm anything ourselves. We only report the news when we receive the update from Netherrealm Studios (The Developer).
The characters which you mention have not been announced and may or may not appear in the game. There will be DLC Skins, that the only thing I can say for now.

Planning for your future, so you can be financially stable and successful even if you leave the service.
Preparing for the future is essential whether it's short term for emergency situations such as a sudden illness or a blown car transmission, or long term for retirement. The time to start preparations is now.
Even if you decide to stay in the military for 20 years or more and collect a pension, it's still wise to take advantage of all the savings plans afforded to you. However the first step to becoming financially secure is learning how to better manage your money.
If you're worried about your financial future and don't have enough money to save for an emergency fund or retirement, call Consolidated Credit today. A certified credit counselor can evaluate your personal financial situation now. Call 1-888-294-3130. You can also take the first step online with a free Debt & Budget Analysis.
Good money management works the same for military service members as it does for everyone else. You may have special laws and considerations when it comes to things like deployment, but the basics of being financially successful are the same.
Reckless spending, not tracking your money on a daily basis and simply not having a plan for the future can lead to disaster or at the very least, a lifetime of work with no rewarding retirement. Follow these steps to become a better money manager.
Build a budget and adjust it if a spouse is deployed. With a budget you can properly track your spending and fully understand where all your money is going. Also, take into account the bump in pay if your spouse is deployed in a combat zone and the cut in pay when they return home.
Control credit card spending. You'll never be able to save for anything if a huge chunk of your money goes to credit card debt every month.
Adjust your attitude. If you don't take money seriously then you need to change your habits and your perspective. If you find that you're spending too much money on soft drinks or are going out to lunch at work two or three days a week, stop it. Save more money.
Pay bills on time. Late payments and penalty fees cost you money and they end up on your credit report as a negative entry. Pay on time each month.
Make a plan. Set goals and write them down. Maybe you want to retire in a sunny paradise or in the mountains, or you want to visit Europe for your 25th wedding anniversary make a plan and make it come true.
Some people call it a nest egg, some an emergency fund, whatever you choose to call it doesn't matter, just start saving. Particularly for anyone who gets deployed to an active war zone, you need to know your family will be okay if something happens.
Save your tax refund: When tax season is upon you take your refund and save it – don't blow it at the local mall.
Save extra funds: If you qualify for bonuses, hazard pay and increased pay because you're deployed in a combat zone, take that money and save it.
New account: This leads to the perfect segue; open a new account that automatically deducts money from your paycheck. If you are deployed in a combat zone take advantage of the Savings Deposit Program.
Save your change: This is simple enough; start saving your change in a bottle or if you want to be more daring, save all your one dollar bills too.
Keep paying a bill: Let's say you've finished paying off your car or credit card bill, don't stop; keep paying that bill but put it into the emergency fund. If you can't afford the whole payment, pay half; just keep the money flowing.
Over-budget: As you prepare your budget (and you should have one) pad some categories with extra money, just in case. When the money is spent, take the difference and bank it.
Wants and Needs: Before you spend, differentiate between your wants and needs. If you don't really need something you want to buy, don't buy it. Save the money.
Saving for retirement is not difficult, but it does take commitment and a willingness to remove a portion of the money you earn to store it away even if you plan on making a career out of the military and qualify for a pension. The pension probably won't be enough to retire comfortably. Use these options to boost your retirement funds.
Thrift Savings Plan (TSP): A TSP offers a tax-deferred method to save money for retirement similar to a 401(k). The limit is $17,500 per year and $23,000 if 50 or older. The money you contribute is not taxable income, which immediately saves you money. Any growth, dividends and interest earned are also sheltered from taxes. You will be taxed when you withdraw the money during retirement.
Roth TSP: With a Roth TSP, contributions are initially taxed but when you eventually withdraw the money during retirement, the money and earnings accrued are tax-free as long as all rules are met. Contribution limits are currently at $17,500 per year total, for a regular TSP and a Roth. If you are receiving Combat Zone Tax Exclusion benefits, the limit is $51,000. Learn more here.
Individual Retirement Account (IRA): With an IRA you can invest any type of funds such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds and cash. Like the TSP the IRA comes in two forms, the regular and the Roth IRA. You initially pay taxes on the Roth but withdrawals may possibly be tax free. The regular IRA may be tax deductible depending on your income.
Life Insurance Replacement: Once you retire from the military your Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI) expires in 120 days. You can switch your policy to Veterans' Group Life Insurance (VGLI) with no medical examination. That may be your best bet but the VGLI is more expensive and goes up approximately every five years until you're 75. For more information about VGLI and SGLI, visit the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs life insurance section.
Health Insurance Replacement: If you retire after 20 years you will be eligible for health care after retirement. If you retire before 20 years you can sign up for the Continued Health Care Benefit Program for up to 18 months. After retiring you have 60 days after to enroll. Check out this TRICARE site to learn more about the program.


We are excited to announce that we have another project nearing completion. Delran High School's container conversion for Hope Lives Aloi new library facility is almost complete. Before it heads to Aloi, Uganda, we would love to pack it full! As other groups have successfully done in the past,Delran High School will be collecting Buckets of Love to include in the container before shipping.
This is a great chance to involve your kids in volunteering! Just take a new 5 gallon bucket (the bucket is part of the gift) and fill it with the items from the list. When you get it filled, bring it to the Homecoming Day Parade on October 18th. The students and staff will be collecting the buckets in the parking lot at Delran High School (50 Hartford Rd, Delran, NJ 08075) near the container.
The Delran High School students have set the bar high with all of their hard work; let's make sure the container is filled to the brim. Thank you, in advance, for all of your continued support of this amazing educational opportunity, both in Delran and Uganda.
Here is the list of items you can add to your new 5 gallon bucket.

Austin's Bernadette Noll wants families to "Look at Us Now" in new interactive book
April 26, 2016 books, children, family.
Austin author Bernadette Noll wants families to take a look at where they are now and capture this moment in time. Her newest book is about doing just that. Noll, who previously wrote "Slow Family Living," is releasing "Look at Us Now: A Creative Family Journal" next month with an interactive appearance at BookPeople on May 14. You'll get to try out some of the book there.
Bernadette Noll is the author of "Look at Us Now." Katherine O'Brien
The book really is a journal that you can do as a family or just as a parent who records what's going on with your family over a glass of wine after they kids have gone to sleep. It's a keepsake to record what's happening now to remember for later and can apply to families with children of any ages. It could even be done once, and then done again a few years later because the answers would change.
Pages include topics like "What gives us reason to cheer?," "Inside jokes. Family sayings. And things only our family gets. (Spill it.)," "One crazy thing that happened this month," and "The five favorite things to do EVER!"
Noll says the book is about "capturing the minutia and the daily happenings. We capture the big events all the time, but the little things that are the meat of family life are all those daily rituals."
This is a book where there are no right answers, and it's not meant to make you sweat over how much you got done. You don't even have to do the pages in order. Just flip through, take a page that is meaningful to you at the time and fill out as much or as little as you want.
Noll, 50, who has four children ages 18 to 9, passed around the book to her kids to see which pages were meaningful to them. One page that got a lot of enthusiasm was "List your current favorites." "I know that even six months from now that might be different," she says.
When she did pages with kids, each kid got to write down their answers without judgment. "It doesn't have to be voted on," Noll says. "It can be different for each person."
She also did pages herself to see how they felt. One page that didn't make the cut: "What's your favorite color?" "Who cares? … It's of no import," she says.
So often, we're told that were doing things incorrectly, Noll says. This book won't do that.
"I made it so it applied to all stages and didn't feel like, 'I didn't start on this day, so now I'm behind.' There's no right way to do it. You can do a page a day or one page every three months. There's no wrong way, no wrong time."
It is definitely not like the baby books that parents increasingly neglect as their children get older and more children come into the family. You don't have to try to re-create what happened in the last six months. It's just about what is happening now.
The book gives you a chance to record the struggle, but also the joy, the humor and the craziness of it all.
A page from "Look at Us Now."
"If we can just pause for a minute, it's a little easier to appreciate all the little, small moments," she says. "If a kid is freaking out at bedtime and you feel like going crazy and you want to pull your hair out, realize that it's just where we are right now and not the way we really are going to be."
May will be a busy month for Noll. In addition to launching this book, she's leading the craft area at Maker Faire Austin on May 7-8. Kids will get to make many classic crafts including many that involve tying yarn recycled from old T-shirts. There will even be a giant 5-foot potholder loom.
She's also working on another book. This one will be based on the babysitter class she teaches. It will be a book filled with activities that kids can take with them on their gigs.
If you'd like to try out "Look at Us Now," I've got two books to give away. Email me at nvillalpando@statesman.com with Look at Us Now in the subject line and your name and address in the body copy. I'll pick two people out of a hat on Friday afternoon. Think early Mother's Day gift.
Looking ahead: Here's what's happening in Austin in May for families
How does "Mother's Day" stack up to real motherhood? Not well


In a series of less than perfect life-decisions you ended up taking the wrong road. You made a fateful turn and now you are miles into a regretful decision. The reality of your mistake is hitting you in the face with the full force of its implications.
At first you felt panic, but now the panic has given way to resignation. You feel like you have no other option. This fatalism is not the thinking of someone who understands they are loved, forgiven and accepted by God. God is not a punisher – He is your Father. He wants you to make this journey with joy. When did you start believing that God has no other plan of rescue apart from letting you continue down this road of sorrow and regret?
There is no going back to square one and starting all over again. You would never be able find your way back through all the mistakes. God doesn't want a list of promises from you to never do this again. He knows you don't want to repeat this journey. What He wants from you is to offer Him a repentant and humble heart. Once He has your heart in His hand He will pick you up from this painful road and put you on the road He wanted you to take in the first place. That is how a loving Father relates to His children.

Our owners, Stan & Mary Beth Johnson and John & Kari Cooke have realized a dream that began almost a decade ago after visiting the beautiful vineyards and wineries in the Washington and California wine countries. Stan's lifelong background in horticulture and John's keen interest in winemaking sparked the dream into a reality. Kari and Mary Beth were two willing souls whose love of gardening and WINE spurred the dream even further. What started as 50 vines in 2007 gradually expanded to 4 acres and the rest is history.
STAN JOHNSON
Stan grew up in Louisiana and majored in Horticulture in college. With more than 35 years in the landscaping and landscape management business, he has planted and maintained thousands of trees and shrubs. He always wanted to utilize his horticultural skills by growing crops, so Whistling Duck Vineyards is the realization of a long-term dream Stan has had since he took a trip to the vineyards of California back in the early 80s.
MARY BETH JOHNSON
Mary Beth has always had a love for gardening which has been a perfect complement to Stan's horticulture background and the vineyard operation. Mary Beth was born in Weimar and after spending many years in Austin returned to those early roots where she could realize her dream of living in the country. When she isn't working in the vineyard or tasting room you can find her tending her garden, caring for her flock of chickens, or working on one of her many hobbies.
JOHN COOKE
John is the winemaker for our winery. He and Mary Beth are siblings and have deep family roots in the area having both been born in Weimar. Several family members, including their mom, grew up in neighboring Schulenburg where their grandparents lived for most of their lives. John's first exposure to winemaking was way back in his childhood. He has fond memories of picking the wild Mustang grapes whose vines were found all over the area climbing along barbed-wire fences, creek beds, and up in the large trees dotting the rolling countryside. The grapes that weren't used for homemade grape jelly were fermented in old crocks and made into a delicious sweet wine according to an old family recipe. During visits to his grandparent's house, John vividly remembers being allowed to sample a very small amount of the finished wine that was kept in gallon jugs sitting on the kitchen counter. Little did he know at the time that these little experiences would plant the seeds for what would become a new venture much later in our lives. A few years ago, John began experimenting with making wine and eventually enrolled at Grayson College majoring in Enology (winemaking) and Viticulture (grape growing). John continues to refine his winemaking skills so that everyone who visits us at Whistling Duck Winery will have a chance to enjoy our wines.
KARI COOKE
Kari also has very deep roots in growing and harvesting activities, having been raised in Amarillo where her parents had a 10 acre orchard and vegetable farm. Although during her childhood she didn't think hoeing weeds and picking fruit and vegetables was exactly fun, those experiences helped put her on a path to our current vineyard and winery venture.

MY TEArS RICOchEt - Música
MY TEArS RICOchEt by Taylor Swift
Frogtoon Música - Información de la canción: mY tEArS rICOchEt
"my tears ricochet" is the fifth track from Taylor Swift's eighth studio album, folklore. It was released on July 24, 2020, through Republic Records. Swift shared via Instagram that "my tears ricochet" is about an "embittered tormentor showing up at the funeral of his fallen object of obsession." She revealed in a YouTube livechat that it was the first song she wrote for folklore. Some fans believe it connects to Swift's personal life as well — with the song really being about Scott Borchetta's betrayal of Swift when she left Big Machine records for Republic. In addition, on August 2017's "Look What You Made Me Do," Swift infamously proclaimed "the old Taylor" dead. The prominent funeral imagery makes it sound like Swift may be mourning this metaphorical murder. This song was confirmed on Taylor's social media accounts on July 23, 2020.

AP Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) The most dynamic offense in the NFL will be on display inside Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.
It won't belong to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Oh, the two-time defending AFC champs are still capable of scoring points - just ask the Raiders after their 41-14 blowout loss last week. But the offense that has been seemingly unstoppable most of this season belongs to Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys, who lead the league in yards per game and points through the first 10 weeks.
The last time they finished on top in both? It was 1971, and the Cowboys wound up winning the Super Bowl.
"They're the No. 1 offense in the league in a few different categories," Chiefs coach Andy Reid acknowledged. "Dak is good, and so is Ezekiel (Ellitott), along with the rest of their cast there. They have a lot of good players on that side of the ball. It's a great challenge for our defense. Our guys know that. You just have to turn on the tape to see it."
They would see Prescott riding a career-best six-game streak with multiple touchdown throws. And Elliott punching in for two touchdowns in last Sunday's blowout of the Falcons, when CeeDee Lamb also had 94 yards receiving and two scores.
It was the third time this season the Cowboys (7-2) have topped 40 points in a game.
Sounds a lot like the Chiefs of past years.
"I have a lot of respect for them," Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said, "but I wouldn't say we sat down and said, `We want to be like the Kansas City Chiefs.' ... They're obviously the beacon of their division and frankly of the NFL, just with their success particularly the last three years. They're in our cutups. They're part of some of the things we look at postseason, in-season as far as trends. But I wouldn't say we model ourselves after them."
For one thing, the Cowboys have been a whole lot better on defense this season. But despite numbers that suggest the Chiefs are among the league's worst on that side of the ball, they've been better the past few weeks.
That has coincided with a return to health for several guys and the arrival of defensive end Melvin Ingram.
And a much biggest test for that talented Dallas offense.
"It seems like y'all ask us that every week: `Is this a statement win?' This is another football game," Elliott said. "Every week is important in this league. Every team we play is a very good football team. If we go out there, get a win on the road in a hostile environment, I think that would be a statement."
Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith returned to practice on a limited basis from an ankle injury and could play Sunday. Also expected back is kicker Greg Zuerlein, who was on the COVID-19 list. Lirim Hajrullahu had handled kicks against Atlanta.
The Chiefs hope to have right tackle Mike Remmers back from a knee injury. They also could have running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire back for the first time since hurting his ankle against Buffalo in Week 5.
McCarthy has plenty of experience coaching in the Metrodome from his time with the Packers, and the Cowboys played the Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium. But both those buildings pale in comparison to the noise of Arrowhead Stadium.
"When we went up to Minnesota, it was about 120 decibels where Arrowhead has been to 140," McCarthy said. "Not a lot of our players have played there. ... Noise will be a big part of our preparation this week."
POCKET PRESENCE
One thing Dallas will try to do Sunday is keep Mahomes in the pocket. That's because even though the former league MVP is excellent with his feet set, the Chiefs quarterback becomes even more dangerous when he escapes.
"We have a segment in practice to work scramble drills," McCarthy said. "Patrick is outstanding at it. You can see, I think between 20-23% of their plays are extended plays. It's a major focus for us this weekend."
COVER 2 CONCERNS
The Cowboys also figure to play a lot of Cover 2 defense against Kansas City, using their two safeties to keep the Chiefs from attacking deep downfield. It's a scheme that just about every team has used against them this season.
"Your short-intermediate game becomes very important and how we call plays to stretch the field becomes important," Reid said, "horizontally and vertically to create some space to throw. All that's important."
FORMER FAN
Mahomes, who was born and raised in Tyler, Texas, grew up cheering for the Cowboys. It was also the favorite team of his dad, former big league pitcher Pat Mahomes. But the fandom hasn't really lasted since the Chiefs QB joined the NFL.
"I won't be a fan this week, for sure," he said.

#1 | Left-Wing Mayors Defy Populist Government, Inviting Banned Migrant Delivery Ships to Dock (Italy) Mon Jun 11, 2018 5:38 pm
The concept of sanctuary cities is not confined to the US
Left-Wing Mayors Defy Populist Government, Inviting Banned Migrant Delivery Ships to Dock
Left-wing mayors in Italian coastal cities courted outrage Sunday as they defied the democratic will of the Italian people to throw open their ports to a migrant delivery ship carrying 629 illegals, despite the newly elected national government having ordered it be turned away.
Mayors in Naples, Messina, Reggio Calabria, and Palermo stood against the poll-topping, recently installed Interior Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini Sunday after he said the migrant ship Aquarius would be turned away from Italy, reports Italy's Il Giornale.
UPDATE 1500: Spain opens ports to migrant import ship
A strategic victory appears to be emerging for Italy's Salvini Monday afternoon after ports outside of Italy offered a berth for the contested Aquarius ship, apparently rewarding the new interior minister for standing his ground over the highly emotive, politically charged issue of migrant movement across the Mediterranean. La Vanguardia reports both Valencia and Barcelona have offered to take the ship in after comments by Spain's new leftist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
The original story continues below:
Tweeting on Sunday, Salvini said: "Starting today, Italy, too, begins to say NO to the trafficking of human beings, NO to the business of clandestine immigration. My goal is to guarantee a peaceful life for these children in Africa and for our children in Italy."
In a stark sign that the city mayors were running against public opinion, the drama over the migrant ship came as the votes were counted for Sunday's Italian local elections in which left-wing, open borders parties show signs of faltering while the populist, anti-mass migration League party stands to make the biggest gains.

— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) June 11, 2018
Drama over Salvini's closed ports policy intensified Monday morning as a second migrant ship bound for Italy and presently in Libyan waters, having collected its human cargo, was also blocked by the government.
Tweeting out the hashtag #CloseMyPorts, Salvini identified the Sea Watch 3, a Dutch-flagged vessel working for a German open-borders group, telling his followers: "Italy has stopped bending its head and obeying, this is the time where we say no."
The Mayor of Palermo, one of those cities keen to defy Italy's new populist, anti-establishment left-right coalition government, caught headlines with his remarks when he said of his decision to open the port: "Palermo in ancient Greek meant 'complete port'. We have always welcomed rescue boats and vessels who saved lives at sea. We will not stop now."
"Salvini is violating the international law. He has once again shown that we are under an extreme far-right government" he said, reports The Guardian.
NGO 'Rescue' Ship Carrying Over 600 Migrants BLOCKED by Italy's New Govt https://t.co/K1XNNGMro9
Despite the claim by Mayor Orlando that the government stands in opposition to international law by closing the ports to migrant smuggling operations, a distinguished expert on international maritime law Admiral Paolo Caffio has given his verdict, stating that not only is it legal, but there is also precedent, reports Il Giornale.
Talking to the paper, the legal expert said: "The decision to close the ports is more than legitimate. The navigation code provides that for reasons of public order, navigation or access to a port to a foreign ship may be prohibited.
"In the present case, it is a question of ships which have infringed the code of conduct and which are prejudicial to the security of the coastal state. Not to mention the concepts of territoriality and sovereignty which, although considered out of fashion, further justify such a decision."
The Aquarius carrying would be immigrants arrives in the port of Catania, on the island of Sicily on March 21, 2017 after a rescue operation in the Mediterranean sea, where some 946 would be immigrants were rescued. The Aquarius, a humanitarian ship run by the NGO SOS Mediterranean and Doctors Without Borders (MSF), said it saved 946 people, including 200 unaccompanied minors rescued after being found drifting on nine wooden and rubber boats. / AFP PHOTO / Giovanni ISOLINO
The Sea Watch 3 and Aquarius both remain at sea. In practical terms, no ships of this type will be able to land without cooperation of the Italian coastguard, which is under the direct command of the Italian government.
The Aquarius, operated by SOS Méditerranée, has been one of the key players in the ongoing drama in the central Mediterranean, ferrying thousands of migrants from Libyan waters to southern Europe. The ship was the target of an action by the anti-mass migration Identitarian group in 2017 who used a rubber dinghy to prevent the ship from leaving port on its way to pick up migrants.
The activists claimed the crew of the ship were totally unflinching in cooperating with"criminal traffickers" to bring "hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants" to Europe, as the chief prosecutor in Sicily said of the charity group "We have evidence that there are direct contacts between certain NGOs and people traffickers in Libya."
The group was forced to deny it was in cahoots with smugglers in April 2017, calling a press conference with their deputy director following an increase in scrutiny in their work.
The rescue of 2 rubber boats turned critical when one boat broke apart in the darkness, leaving over 40 people in the water. After rescuing 229 people from these boats, the #Aquarius then took 400 more people, rescued earlier by Italian navy, Italian coastguard & merchant vessels pic.twitter.com/b289C3aOly

Guest Post: Mandy. Tips on using a solar oven, with a great cornbread recipe!
A couple of weeks ago, the first day of summer to be exact, was another record breaking "heat advisory" day.
You see, here in Phoenix, if the temperature is forecasted to be over 110 degrees, they issue a heat advisory. I suppose to advise us that it is going to be hot, just in case we weren't aware of the fact that we live in a desert and it's summertime.
It always makes me laugh to look at any parking lot during June, July, or August. People, myself included, will park far away from the entrance of a store if there is a parking spot open with even the slightest amount of shade from the twiggy, tiny-leafed, rather short Palo Verde trees sprinkled around the lot. When it comes to braving the inferno known as your car and touching the molten lava of a steering wheel, even a few splotches of shade can help.
I made cornbread – in a solar oven.
I have the Solavore Sport Solar Oven.
When I was a kid, every summer my mom helped us make solar ovens out of shoe boxes, and we would cook s'mores, banana boats, and once or twice, I think we roasted a hot dog. Now, I help my kids do the same thing. Since we were trying out their solar ovens made from pizza boxes as part of our Summer Science unit, I thought I would get out my big solar oven and try it for the first time.
Having one for a few years, I had never tried making anything in it.
I was absolutely shocked two hours later when I pulled out two beautiful pans of corn bread. I don't know why I was so surprised that it worked so well, but I was.
Not knowing what I was doing, I think made me afraid that I would somehow do it wrong.
as long as it is sunny, with very few clouds, and you aim the solar oven at the sun, it should work.
Nervous about aiming it at the sun correctly, I researched a bit. Here is a tip I read somewhere (I was doing a lot of reading trying to figure it out, so I'm not sure where I read it).
Point the slow cooker towards the sun, and then try to angle it so that the shadow it casts on the sides are are pretty even.
The size of the long shadow it makes will depend on the time of day, (i.e.: hardly any when the sun is directly over head, and longer when the sun is lower in the sky), but the long shadow should always be behind the solar oven so that the clear front has no or very little shadow.
Check the alignment every hour or so, you should be good. I was nervous, so I adjusted it every 30 minutes.
A set of reflector panels can also help increase the oven's temperature, but based on my solar oven's instruction manual's recommendation. Being in 117 degree Arizona, I didn't need them. The oven got hot enough simply due to location, time of day, and very clear skies.
Another tip I picked up is to start sooner in the day so that you have enough time for things to cook.
Baked goods, like bread, should be in the oven by 10 am or so to take advantage of the sun rising in the sky, generating higher temperatures as the Noon hour approaches.
The cornbread turned out awesome, and my family was quite impressed.
But the best part about using the solar oven definitely had to be the fact that it didn't heat up my kitchen!
Not a bad deal on a record breaking first day of summer.
The Corn Bread recipe below I developed a few years ago. With specific requirements I wanted met, and after a lot of testing, I am pleased with it. Because it is 100% whole grain, it is more crumbly than a box-mix corn bread, but tastes a lot better.
Whisk together dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients, and mix just until incorporated. Bake in a greased 9×13 pan. 325° for 32 minutes.
For a solar oven, cover and bake in two greased 9" round pots for approximately 1 ½ hours.
Thank you Mandy! Wow! I have never used a solar oven before, and wish we had enough sun in Nebraska for them to work so well.
Have you used a solar oven? What brand do you prefer? Comment below.

Taxpayers already buy some London buses, should they be hiring the drivers too?
Yesterday's strike by London bus drivers inevitably brought calls for the Mayor to intervene and help find a compromise between bus operators who want to maximise their profits and workers who want to earn a bit more.
Unlike Tube drivers, London's army of 27,000 bus drivers aren't employed by Transport for London but by the myriad of private firms who run the services for TfL on pretty lucrative contracts.
There are dozens of differing pay grades and rates across the sector which can be an obstacle for staff looking to move employers without suffering a drop in income, and creates a sense of unfairness among staff who know colleagues within the same company or group are earning more.
However City Hall isn't keen on it or TfL intervening in what it insists is a row between private sector businesses and their staff.
The call for unions to stop their action without any upfront concession is typical of Boris's pro-business and anti-strike stance and many will be disappointed, though not surprised, that he failed to call for any give on the part of employers in return for avoiding disruption to services.
But while his limited intervention could have been a lot more even-handed, Boris is right to be wary of getting further involved in the dispute.
The last time he did so, Londoners ended up subsiding operators by an additional £8m by funding bonuses for drivers who worked during the Olympics.
It's hard to see how Boris's presence around the negotiating table this time wouldn't lead for calls from both sides for the taxpayer to dig deep once again and help fund a settlement.
And once any Mayor becomes part of a deal, they'll be the first port of call next time drivers and operators find themselves in dispute. Indeed, there's a real risk that operators will have an incentive to be stingier in future pay deals in the expectation that City Hall will pay up to avoid yet more strikes.
It's easy to see why people believe a single set of terms and conditions and a single pay structure is fairer, but the costs of achieving London-wide parity would be so great that if the taxpayer is going to fund it, it only makes sense to do as part of a major overhaul of the contracting arrangements.
We could move to hiring a single company to run the buses – TfL does this already on the London Overground where services are run by LOROL, and on the DLR where it recently appointed Keolis.
Or the taxpayer could hire the drivers directly and either assign them to operators – Boris already does this with his New Routemaster buses which belong to TfL – or simply start running services in-house.
Both of these options would represent a big change in how bus services are run and would take time and a lot of public money to implement. But they'd be a more logical and more sustainable solution than ad-hoc Mayoral interventions in disputes between staff and 18 different employers.
Of course TfL and Boris used to own their own bus company that ran some TfL routes. It was East Thames Buses created from the ashes of Harris Bus after they collapsed and no other operator submitted a bid to run their routes. This was during Ken's time at City Hall. He was content to have a "public sector comparitor" operator to sit alongside the private firms and be able to take on routes where bids were not submitted or were too costly.
Boris took the decision to sell off East Thames Buses as a "non core activity" and London General (part of Go Ahead London) picked up the routes, staff, garages and vehicles plus nice new 5 year contracts with the potential to extend for another two. I would not be astonished to find that the drivers who transferred across were on separate pay / terms and conditions from other garages in London General.
I doubt whether a public sector London bus operator could be established nowadays without cries of unfair competition or accusations of some form of state aid emerging.
That was a long explanation, for a reason. In say a construction project there is a generally accepted chain of liability, from the principal client who is promoting the project right through to the sub contractor or casual labourer who is wielding the pick & shovel. The Health and Safety at Work Act uses the term Duty of Care, to describe how that responsibility passes back up the tree. Because of this established system most employers and clients have systems in place that moinitor and manage safety with this an important element of any major contract. A serious incident can fire right back to the directors of the principal client for failure to manage safety.
For London Buses, the subcontractors are required to hold the O licence, manage the bus fleet*, drivers, and register the bus service, and because of that it is their TM's who are held responsible. The subcontractors' bus fleets can be owned, leased or provided by other agreements. National Express for example provided their standard Expressliner coach to contractors as the vehicle required for the contract. It is interesting to see that TfL seems to be doing the same with the Wrights New Bus for London (AKA Borismaster). This of course means that safety management, maintenance records etc are dealt with by the operator, and some large groups hedge their bets, and avoid various legal technicalities by retaining the operating details of the companies they buy and sell. For example an operator penalised for poor maintenance may get a reduction in their vehicle O licence allocation but can sub contract to another operator to get enough vehicles to run their registered services. Obviously this also means that differnt companies pay different rates, althought a pay system for workers in public transport (TUPE) guarantees that when a company is sold the staff are transferred with no adverse change in their rates of pay – hence some inequalities between 'old drivers' and new drivers.
The key question is perhaps that as principal client how much passes back up the tree to TfL. How aware should they be of say PG9 prohibitions for defective buses, especially if this is a bus stopped in service with passengers on board. The rail watershed came with Ladbroke Grove, and was disastrous for the Thames Trains brand. A string of deaths and serious injuries with construction industry vehicles liekwise troubled the City Police ariound 10 years ago, 3 such crashes involving the same truck operated by a small sub contractor (twice with the same driver), but that truck was in RMC livery creating a trigger that shook the board at their AGM and lead to Cemex now being an active player in driving safety in truck operations. The undercurrents emerging through blogs like http://www.saferoxfordstreet.blogspot.com suggest that London Buses needs to review the way buas operations are specified and audited, in every aspect.
To return directly to the main point, it does seem odd that with their subcontractors failing to deliver the contracted service, TfL seem to take such a sanguine position.over the non-delivery of the contracted services, and have no appearance of working with, or pressing these subcontractors to get the services running.


A former tanning salon owner has appeared in court charged with a string of fraud offences.
Tobias Tribble, 28, appeared before city magistrates this morning facing charges dating back to 2012.
Tribble was arrested on Tuesday, October 11, after flying to England from Spain.
The former tanning salon owner, of Victory Street, Keyham, also faces charges from five years ago for playing "loud music" at The Beach Hut off North Hill, which is now closed, but those charges were dropped in court.
The court heard how a warrant was issued for Tribble's arrest on September 26, 2012, after he was previously bailed to attend court at 9.30am that day in relation to three allegations of fraud by false representation.
Tribble, who previously owned The Beach Hut tanning salon on Deptford Place, also faces charges from June 23 that year for possession of 0.1g of cocaine.
On the same date he is charged with two counts of passing what he knew or believed to be counterfeit money and failing to surrender to bail at Charles Cross police station.
And on July 18, 2012 to August 4, 2012 he is charged with using a Lloyds TSB credit card not belonging to him to buy Easy Jet tickets.
He faces a further charge for using a Lloyds TSB credit card not belonging to him to purchase Ryan Air flights.
Between those same dates he is also charged with using the same card top pay off a £360 Orange mobile phone bill.
The magistrates sent the case to Plymouth Crown Court where Tribble, who was remanded in custody, is next due to appear on Friday, October 20.


Hi Mikey, the first time I saw you on you tube years ago. I couldn't get the pattern to print out. So I took the long way around as you talked, I wrote long hand. I had to constantly replay the u tube till the whole pattern was copied. I laughed with you when you were going over the baby converse high top booties pattern.
your site. Thank you for making this site easy to get onto. I hope this hoodie turns out just as well.
I am crocheting this hoodie now I love it, it's my first sweater ever. Just wondering if you could give tutorial on sleeves having a hard time understanding the sleeve directions. I know how to increase but not sure of how many rows and how often I am increasing.
Thank you so much I am learning a lot from this site and others and the many tutorials.
Im sure i got my pattern from yarninspirations. Or lion brand.
Have had a while but not had a chance to make it.
I tried that. It doesn't go anywhere.
I can not access the free pattern for the sweet baby hoodies. could you help?
There is a link in the PINK near the bottom of the article with the name of the project. Click it and it will take you to the pattern.
I got the pattern and just got done doing the hood part… now i'm on the finishing and not sure what it means.. can you please explain it to me or dummy it down for me? so confused!! Thank you!
I still can't figure the stitching together of the hood… can you please help me?

The Huntsville Gazette, also known as the Weekly Gazette, was a newspaper for African Americans in Huntsville, Alabama that ran from 1879 or 1881-1894. The Library of Congress has numerous editions in its collection. Charles Hendley Jr. served as its editor. He is buried at the Glenwood Cemetery in Huntsville.

The paper was Republican Party aligned at a time when Democrats dominated Alabama and Southern politics in the post-Reconstruction era period of its publication. The paper folded in December 1894.

Hendley was born in December 1855. A profile of him is included in Irvine Garland Penn's 1894 book on the African American press, although little is known of his upbringing. Henry C. Binford edited The Journal in Huntsville.

Sweet discovery: New UBC study pushes back the origins of chocolate
Researchers find cacao originated 1,500 years earlier than previously thought
As Halloween revelers prepare to feast on chocolate, a new study from an international team of researchers, including the University of British Columbia, is pushing back the origins of the delicious sweet treat.
The study, published online today in Nature Ecology & Evolution, suggests that cacao--the plant from which chocolate is made--was domesticated, or grown by people for food, around 1,500 years earlier than previously thought. In addition, the researchers found cacao was originally domesticated in South America, rather than in Central America.
Archaeological evidence of cacao's use, dating back to 3,900 years ago, previously planted the idea that the cacao tree was first domesticated in Central America. But genetic evidence showing that the highest diversity of the cacao tree and related species is actually found in equatorial South America-where cacao is important to contemporary Indigenous groups-led the UBC team and their colleagues to search for evidence of the plant at an archaeological site in the region.
"This new study shows us that people in the upper reaches of the Amazon basin, extending up into the foothills of the Andes in southeastern Ecuador, were harvesting and consuming cacao that appears to be a close relative of the type of cacao later used in Mexico--and they were doing this 1,500 years earlier," said Michael Blake, study co-author and professor in the UBC department of anthropology. "They were also doing so using elaborate pottery that pre-dates the pottery found in Central America and Mexico. This suggests that the use of cacao, probably as a drink, was something that caught on and very likely spread northwards by farmers growing cacao in what is now Colombia and eventually Panama and other parts of Central America and southern Mexico."
Theobroma cacao, known as the cacao tree, was a culturally important crop in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica--a historical region and cultural area in North America that extends from approximately central Mexico through Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and northern Costa Rica. Cacao beans were used both as currency and to make the chocolate drinks consumed during feasts and rituals.
For the study, researchers studied ceramic artifacts from Santa Ana-La Florida, in Ecuador, the earliest known site of Mayo-Chinchipe culture, which was occupied from at least 5,450 years ago.
The researchers used three lines of evidence to show that the Mayo-Chinchipe culture used cacao between 5,300 and 2,100 years ago: the presence of starch grains specific to the cacao tree inside ceramic vessels and broken pieces of pottery; residues of theobromine, a bitter alkaloid found in the cacao tree but not its wild relatives; and fragments of ancient DNA with sequences unique to the cacao tree.
The findings suggest that the Mayo-Chinchipe people domesticated the cacao tree at least 1,500 years before the crop was used in Central America. As some of the artifacts from Santa Ana-La Florida have links to the Pacific coast, the researchers suggest that trade of goods, including culturally important plants, could have started cacao's voyage north.
Sonia Zarrillo, the study's lead author and adjunct assistant professor at the University of Calgary who carried out some of the research as a sessional instructor at UBC Okanagan's department of anthropology, said the findings represent a methodological innovation in anthropological research.
"For the first time, three independent lines of archaeological evidence have documented the presence of ancient cacao in the Americas: starch grains, chemical biomarkers, and ancient DNA sequences," she said. "These three methods combine to definitively identify a plant that is otherwise notoriously difficult to trace in the archaeological record because seeds and other parts quickly degrade in moist and warm tropical environments."
Discovering the origins of food that we rely on today is important because it helps us understand the complex histories of who we are today, said Blake.
"Today we all rely, to one extent or another, on foods that were created by the Indigenous peoples of the Americas," said Blake. "And one of the world's favourites is chocolate."
Funded by a Hampton Research Grant from UBC, the study was co-authored by researchers at the University of California, Davis, the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD), University Montpellier and Kennesaw State University. The research also involved researchers at HelixVenture, the Institut de Recherche pour le Developpement and the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) in France, as well as New South Associates Inc. in Georgia, and the Instituto Nacional de Investigacion Agropecuaria Estacion Experimental Tropical Pichilingue and the Ministerio de Cultura y Patrimonio in Ecuador.

Q: how do i get my ShareActionProvider to submit text Dynamically (from listeners) view pagers etc I am using Sherlock Library Action Bar, which is similar to the ICS action bars, the place where I am stuck is this
    @Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

    menu.add("Save")
    .setIcon(R.drawable.ic_compose).setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);

    menu.add("Search")
    .setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS | MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT);

    SubMenu sub = menu.addSubMenu("Options");
    sub.add(0, SubMenu.NONE, 0, "First");
    sub.add(0,SubMenu.NONE, 1, "Second");
    sub.add(0, SubMenu.NONE, 2, "Three");
    sub.getItem().setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS | MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT);

    // HERE IS WHere I AM FACING PROBLEM IN
    getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.share_action_provider, menu);
    // Set file with share history to the provider and set the share intent.
    actionItem = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_item_share_action_provider_action_bar);
    ShareActionProvider actionProvider = (ShareActionProvider) actionItem.getActionProvider();
    actionProvider.setShareHistoryFileName(ShareActionProvider.DEFAULT_SHARE_HISTORY_FILE_NAME); //this is BRILLIANT WAY TO AVOID REPEATation
    actionProvider.setShareIntent(createShareIntent());

    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

private Intent createShareIntent() {
    Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    shareIntent.setType("text/plain");

    //THIS TEXT IS WHAT I WANT TO OBTAIN DYNAMICALLY
    shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Something goes here");
    return shareIntent;
}

Whenever I try putting the actionProvider.setShareIntent(createShareIntent()); inside a listener or anywhere other than the actionProvider.setShareIntent(createShareIntent()); I get D/View(11753): onTouchEvent: viewFlags is DISABLED
I wish to include this sharing Action provider and want to input my own text that gets generated on user inputs.
Any inputs are welcome.
Adding this doesn't work
    actionItem.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new OnMenuItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
            Log.e("THIS IS NEVER CALLED", "??");
            return true;
        }
    });

How do I get an update for the Share button being clicked

A: I hit a similar issue with a android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity derivative (though I think this approach should work for any activity) and I overrode onPrepareOptionsMenu and got the effect you were after:
@Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    ShareActionProvider actionProvider = (ShareActionProvider) actionItem.getActionProvider();
    if (actionProvider != null) {
        actionProvider.setShareIntent(createShareIntent());
    }
    return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}

A: i use menu like this:
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
    case android.R.id.your_share_button_name:
        share();
        return true;

    }
}

    private void share() {
    Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
    sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
            "your text");
    sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
            "your subject");
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share using"));
}

that's all. I suggest you to put all the layout of the menu in a xml in your res/menu folder.

The 100 Must Read Graphic Novels! (Pt. 7)
More graphic novels! We hope that all our readers have been finding some new and exciting reading material, maybe enough a new favourite. We're going to start out with a couple more true stories before we get into the final part of our series. The Outer Limits – the best of science-fiction, horror and fantasy! Be warned though…it's gonna get a bit freaky.
Click for Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
#61 – American Splendour: The Life and Times of Harvey Pekar
Entry written by Slam Adams
I beat myself up sometimes because I find stories too late. American Splendor was one of those things. I didn't even know about it until they made a movie about it (really good, by the way). Anyways, it was about the random events that made up Harvey Pekar's life. Big events like his health and his third wife to minutia like his job and everyday concerns like standing in line. It was like a precursor to Seinfeld, or better yet Louie, because there is this really strange blue collar depth that he stumbles on, even by accident.
#62 – Blankets
A rare breed, Blankets comes under the category of Autobiographical Graphic Novel and tells the story of author and artist Craig Thompson's life growing up in an Evangelical Christian family, his early adulthood and his struggles with life and love. It's a beautifully written tale, and the simple artwork lends itself well. It's been challenged a few times as 'pornographic' by the small minded but there's no titillation here. Just an honest discussion of one man's life, in all it's murky shades of grey.
#63 – Buddha
G-Funk
Have you ever wanted to learn about the life story and beliefs of Buddha? Do you like Astro Boy? Then you're in luck, because the creator of the latter has written an extensive series of graphic novels about Buddhu. We are introduced to a range of characters both fictional and historical whose lives are intertwined by the birth of Siddhartha Gautama, the prince whom history will remember as Buddha. The manga style is perfectly suited to the material, with liberal doses of sex and violence for falvour. It's hard to find someone who wouldn't love this.
#64 – Sex Criminals
At this point I would be genuinely surprised by any comic fan who hadn't at least heard about Sex Criminals. It's worth a look just for the title. There's a reason even TIME Magazine declared it the best comic of 2013 as it is an amazing book. Suzie begins by recounting her own sexual awakening, unaware that what she experienced was different to everyone else. After an orgasm, time would freeze for everyone but Suzie. As an adult she meets Johnny, who has the same ability, and together they concoct a plan to rob a bank. More than a heist story with a sexy gimmick, it's an extremely honest and genuine look at sexual relationships. You'll fall in love with the characters and be given some very real ideas to mull over. Almost as entertaining is the letters page, which has evolved into a sexual confessional. It's like Scott Pilgrim but with more sex. The wait between issues feels like a long time indeed.
#65 – The Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes
I have no doubt that Neil Gaiman will long be remembered as one of the greatest writers of our age. Not only is he brilliant but he dabbles in a wide range of genres and formats, for kids and adults, with equal talent. One of his best works is The Sandman, and original take on an obscure DC character (read: total rewrite) that spins a tale through reality, the afterlife, fantasy, imagination and dreams. The titular sandman, Dream, and his family of The Endless are powerful icons in the history of graphic novels. This is an absolute must for any reader.
#66 – The Walking Dead: Days Gone Bye
Before The Walking Dead was a massive hit television series that sparked constant battles through social media by fans and non-fans of the show it was a phenomenally brilliant comic – and still is today. Yes Kirkman is the showrunner for the TV series as well but it's his work in the comic-book that not just came first but will always be the stuff that I reference to when talking about The Walking Dead. This was a groundbreaking zombie tale upon its release because it made the "walkers" second-fiddle to a character drama centered in the post-apocalyptic South. It's brutally heavy-hitting with some of the nastiest and most controversial violence in modern-day comics but it's that sense of realism and "not holding back" that makes it stand out from so many others. A lot of that has to do with the writing of our characters but you can't overlook the black and white artistry of each book that helps paint the story of a bleak and hopeless survival tale. Kirkman's idea to bring specific storylines from the comic to the show without making it a faithful re-telling is one that not only split fans but made it easier for you to know the source material without really knowing exactly what is coming each week. This is one zombie series I would recommend to anyone who once found an interest in the undead, as well as those who are just looking for something different.
#67 – Locke and Key: Welcome to Lovecraft
Horror and comics have had an interesting history. From spooky tales to gorefests the Comic Code neutered the entire genre. Now that writers have free reign they've elected to work with well paced drama. Writer Joe Hill steps clear of his father's long shadow to create a completely original and brilliant story about an old family home with layers of secrets within the walls. The place is riddled with keys and locks that hold strange powers – the ability to turn people into ghosts, meddling with their memory, become giant, control shadows and more. There's a great ongoing narrative that has recently come to a close, revealing the true nature of the sought after 'Omega Key'.
#68 – Return to Wonderland
Few things leave me feeling meh like another horror or 'quirky' rendition of Alice in Wonderland. The material lends itself to many versions and this is rapidly taken advantage of in everything from Batman to video games and surreal artist Dali. If there's one worth the attention of comic readers it's this one, a genuinely disconcerting adult tale imbued with violence, horror and sexuality. It's fresh and unique.
#69 – Johnny The Homicidal Maniac
Johen Vasquez might be best known for Invader Zim but he's came to our attention with JTHM. The titular character features in the centre of an insane world, sickened by the modern lifestyle and driven to torture and murder on a frequent basis. Johnny (or 'Nny') is obsessed with keeping the wall in his house wet with blood, otherwise 'they' might get through. How shocked we were when he turned out to be right.
#70 – 30 Days of Night
Slam Adams
Just when I thought the vampire subgenre has seen every original thought left to have, horror writer, Steve Niles, brings them to the small town of Barrow, Alaska taking advantage of the real phenomenon where the sun doesn't rise for 30 days straight (give or take). From my understanding, its more like 1 minute of sunlight a day, but changes are made for the sake of fiction. It is a tight 3-issues with a very crazy graffiti-like art style from Ben Templesmith. The survivors run and gun around these Eurotrash wannabe gangster type vampires stripped of most of their more mystical powers. I like to think this story proves just how great less bells and whistles can be. Plus, I really really love the ending, the last few panels. It ranks up there with I Am Legend by Richard Matheson.

Let's get one thing straight first. It's not The Withdean in the same way it's not, say, The Hillsborough. But somehow it deserves the definite article. It's a unique place to watch football, with its bank of "temporary" uncovered seating to the south, backed by the woods of a nature reserve, its poky North Stand with a suburban pub behind and its litter of athletics paraphernalia, like the hammer net. There is only one Withdean: thank God.
Finally, however, Withdean's 12-year tenure as Brighton & Hove Albion's home ground is ending. Next season the club move into their new, 22,000-seat Amex stadium at Falmer. All Brighton fans are grateful to Withdean in one way, as it was a key ingredient in the club's emergence from the wreckage left by chairman Bill Archer in the mid-1990s. Following the sale of the Goldstone Ground, two seasons were spent playing at Gillingham in front of threadbare crowds under 2,000, an unsustainable situation even in the short term, hence the immediate importance of bringing the team home. But the difficulties of finding anywhere to play in Brighton & Hove, even temporarily, were as evident then as they have been since.
Brighton is an affluent place, with high property prices inflated by substantial in-migration from London and also by its location next to the South Downs, recently designated a National Park. Put simply, there are few places to build and they're expensive. The club also draws much of its support from the wider county of Sussex, whereas many living in Brighton & Hove itself have moved there, and brought other club loyalties with them. All these factors help explain the difficulties and opposition that the club faced with both the building of the Amex and the earlier move to Withdean.
Withdean was an athletics stadium and big enough for that purpose (its club once nurtured Olympic gold medallist Steve Ovett), but woefully inadequate even for basement football. Nor did the residents of its expensive suburban location wish to see their leafy lanes invaded by hordes of the unwashed every alternate Saturday. Compromises had to be found. The club, despite lacking ready cash, obligingly – and farsightedly – funded public transport vouchers attached to match tickets, with parking within a mile of the ground banned on matchdays. Temporary seats were installed, despite their always arriving late for the first few seasons because they were needed at the Open golf. With hindsight it's amazing the club returned to Brighton so quickly, but the site was, and remains, unwelcoming and inconvenient.
Withdean's impact on the club's fortunes varied wildly over 12 years. At first, the facilities (both teams changed in prefabs) were so quirky that visitors struggled to adjust and Brighton's home record was strong, epitomised by the 6-0 win over Mansfield in the first League game there. Two promotions quickly followed, and I admit that probably my fondest single memory of 35 years following Brighton came there, with Danny Cullip's header against Chesterfield on May 1, 2001 that won the club its first title in my lifetime. Another followed the next year.
But familiarity eventually bred contempt. A few more years of sitting, exposed to the elements, on rainy Wednesday nights while watching Mark McCammon fall over his own feet, and with the new stadium never seeming any closer, was never going to pull in the fans. With most seating uncovered, no atmosphere could be generated except on the few occasions when big clubs visited and lost (victories over Leeds and in the League Cup against Manchester City being the highlights here). By 2009-10 the "Withdean factor" had reversed and Brighton had the worst home record in the League.
But at least, by then, the new ground was finally being built. And this season, Withdean has once more become a home fortress second only in strength to Old Trafford. Yet I will not miss it, not for a second, and nor will any other Seagulls fan. We apologise profusely to all visiting supporters who have suffered the away "end" over the last 12 years (it's not just the end of the ground, it's got a whole different postcode); but it's over now.
After Brighton's tenancy there ends against Huddersfield on April 30 – ten years since that win over Chesterfield – Withdean will doubtless return to its former sleepy existence as an athletics track and two games into the new season we'll forget we ever played there. Goodbye Withdean, and thanks, but we're finally moving on.
