'Those Who Served' tracks veterans through newspaper clippings
By Josh Arntz
The Dickson Herald
Published Nov. 6, 2013
If you're interested in a Dickson County veteran's service during World War II, Georgia L. Baker's periodical compilation could help you track that service person's movements through the historical conflict.
Baker, a self-described transcriber and editor, has assembled a 3-volume reference for every "The Dickson County Herald" article from September 1940 to late 1946, printed about veterans of World War II and their families.
Baker's older brother, Carter Baker published the work through Nashville-based Richland Press, and helped with the compilation. Carter serves on the Dickson County Historical and Genealogical Society's board of directors too.
"Georgia is an indefatigable researcher," Carter said.
The 3-volume compilation – "Those Who Served: World War II News Reported in The Dickson County Herald" – is available for purchase through Richland Press and for perusal at the Dickson County Library.
Georgia spent her career in libraries and with books, she noted, "so I had a running knowledge of what to do with things, but I didn't go to school for history."
"I'm just interested in the area and I had made this my permanent home, so I wanted to know more about it I guess you might say," she added.
The Baker family has been in Dickson County since 1815, and owns a century farm – Baker's Burden Farm, which they call Spring Valley. Georgia was born and raised in Nashville, where the family relocated when Carter and her older sister were "real little."
Carter recalled hearing stories about Dickson County from their father.
"Our father was from here, so we heard (stories) from him," Georgia added, "and we still had a few uncles out here as we were growing up, so we'd hear from them and it just was interesting."
The Baker family would spend every weekend in Dickson County during "good weather," she noted. Georgia since has made her home on the family's land.
Georgia has compiled several reference works about Dickson County history – from censuses, marriage records and funeral home records to the ongoing The Down "On Piney" series.
Carter described the "On Piney" series as compilations from The Herald about "the doings in the southwest portion of the county."
The research began, Georgia explained, while she and her sister, Ailsie McEnteggart went through an old family cemetery about 20 years ago. McEnteggart had made a listing of the cemetery during high school and wanted to "redo" the list, so she asked Georgia to be her "scribe."
"There were several (people) who Ailsie and I just looked at each other and said 'I wonder who this person is, and how does she relate,'" Georgia recalled.
Georgia started flipping through old newspapers to find out, and "one thing led to another and I got into them and that's when I discovered all this information about the early communities and I just went back to the beginning and started in."
Georgia began the World War II project two years ago and finished early last summer.
"To be honest, I always have projects ruminating in my mind and that was one of them. I had already started work on World War I, but I had kind of let it slide for a while and now of course it's looming, so I need to get back to it," she noted.
Carter said he had no idea the work would span three volumes. The expanse caught Georgia off guard too. She discovered "all this information" while researching the "On Piney" series that covered the war years.
"I mean I knew there would be information," Georgia said. "I was just, you might say, not expecting to find as much and so I kept thinking 'I have to do something with it.'
"And I just finally decided 'OK, I'm diving in feet first, whatever I come out with I come out with,'" she added.
According to a press release, Volume 1 begins in September 1940 with the activation of the local National Guard unit, Company E, 117th Infantry, for one year's training.
The volumes contain draft lists; information about training; excerpts from letters home; notices of the wounded and the dead; a list of marriages, a complete index with the full name of every person listed; footnotes; and related articles from other area newspapers.
Volume 3 contains a list of every Dickson County person who died, and every ship, camp, fort and base mentioned. The work features a glossary of awards and decorations too. An appendix in Volume 3 lists the obituaries of those buried overseas and whose bodies later were returned.
Several service members died overseas and weren't carried home, Georgia said, which took "some digging" to find them. Some were lost because they went down with ships, she added.
She tracked their ancestry through the military with burial and medals lists, where she could find their enlistment records. Carter noted local heroes were buried in Greenville, Pa., Honolulu, Belgium, etc.
In doing the research, Georgia was "amazed" at how much Dickson County families traveled to visit their loved ones in service. She described one veteran who got stuck in Memphis while coming home for Christmas, so his mother met him there.
She also was struck at "how far spread all over the world" Dickson County residents were sent. Many however, remained close to home and returned frequently.
Carter, who served as a proof reader and assembled the footnotes, also was impressed that the service personnel returned home often, because he thought they left home and were gone for the duration of the war.
Georgia reported the newspaper writing style of the era was "much more flowery" than at present, so she edited the articles to remove "some of those extraneous ways of doing things." She also omitted "one or two" articles printed more than once.
Georgia plans to release the next "On Piney" series (1952-'59) before the end of the year. She'll also compile "revisited" funeral home records for Dickson and Taylor funeral homes, since the previous works ended with December 2006. She's working on a records log for Spann Funeral Home too, slated to come out in 2014.
All of Georgia's compilations are at the Dickson County Library. You can order your own copy from Richland Press by calling or emailing Carter at (615) 424-2882, firstname.lastname@example.com.

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) Rickie Fowler kept bogeys off his card for the second straight day and closed with a 5-foot birdie putt for a 3-under 68, giving him a one-shot lead over Patrick Reed going into the final round of The Barclays.
Fowler has gone 45 holes without a bogey at Bethpage Black, the site of two U.S. Opens and among the toughest courses on the PGA Tour. Along with his three birdies Saturday, he made three par-saving putts of at least 10 feet, including one from 25 feet early in his round.
And he needed them all.
Reed overcame three bogeys in a four-hole stretch on the front nine and was tied for the lead on the back nine until the final two holes. Reed missed a 5-foot birdie putt on the 17th, and his 15-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole almost missed weakly to the right.
Fowler, who was at 9-under 204, now is in prime position to win for the first time on the PGA Tour in a year and play his way onto the U.S. Ryder Cup team.
This is the final tournament for Americans to earn one of the eight automatic spots for the Ryder Cup matches at Hazeltine at the end of next month. Fowler was at No. 12 going into the opening FedEx Cup event with its $8.5 million purse and needed at least a third-place finish to earn a spot.
Scott, who hasn't seriously contended since his back-to-back victories in Florida five months ago, was two shots behind at 7-under 206. Martin Laird (69) and Emiliano Grillo (71) were three shots back, while Justin Thomas got into the game a 66 and was in the group at 5-under 208, which included defending champion Jason Day.
For Fowler, the timing could not have been better.
"It's nice to finally see some putts go in," Fowler said. "With a few putts going in, it frees up the rest of your game. I've been swinging well for a long time, and I've been waiting for the putter to catch up."
Fowler won against a strong field in Abu Dhabi at the start of the year, and he lost a two-shot lead with two holes to play in the Phoenix Open. Since then, he hasn't been much of a factor has his ranking – in the FedEx Cup and the Ryder Cup – began to plunge.
Not wanting to take a chance on being among the four captain's picks, he has a chance Sunday to secure his spot for Hazeltine.
"It's pretty simple," Fowler said. "I've got to take care of business tomorrow. It's been awhile since I've been in this position. It's going to be tough tomorrow. We're on one of the – if not the – toughest golf courses we play all year. It's been a long time coming, and it's going to be fun."
Reed, dressed all in black on another scorching afternoon on Long Island, managed to escape with a bogey from a horrible lie right of the third green. He muffed a chip on the fifth hole and made bogey, then drove well right into a bunker and made another bogey on the sixth hole. He bounced back with a pair of birdies, and made all pars on the back nine. Considering the difficulty of the Black's back nine, that was more than enough to stay in the game.
Scott can relate to how Fowler is feeling with the putter. He had no complaints with how he played tee-to-green, but he was getting aggravated with his putting. One good round, finally, changed his outlook.
"The front nine is the gettable nine, and to turn in 4 under set up my round," Scott said. "I knew anything under par on the back, I would have a great round, and that was kind of my goal. I rolled a couple long ones in, and that felt good and kept the momentum going. Hopefully, something to build on for tomorrow and beyond."
Day was hopeful of more than a 70 as the No. 1 player in the world tried to get into position. Birdies on the par 3s on the back nine helped atone for some wild tee shots, and he was still very much in the mix.
Jordan Spieth scrambled his way out of the rough and the sand. Spieth didn't hit a fairway from the second hole until the 15th, yet he still played even par. But on the par-3 17th, he flubbed a chip and took double bogey, and a birdie on the final hole gave him a 72. He was six shots behind.

Kershaw stunned in seventh as LA drops Game 1
Dodgers ace cruises until Cards overwhelm lefty with eight-run frame
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers seemed too shocked to admit they were shocked Friday night after Clayton Kershaw let a five-run lead get away and the Cardinals held on for a wild 10-9 win in Game 1 of the National League Division Series.
"I'm not shocked," right fielder Matt Kemp said. "Maybe a little shocked. We played a good game. They outplayed us."
With their ace and probably the league MVP on the mound, the Dodgers fell behind two batters into the game. They rallied to give Kershaw a five-run lead, fired up after a benches-clearing incident when Yasiel Puig was hit by an Adam Wainwright pitch. They watched Kershaw implode again, then fought to the last pitch of the game against St. Louis closer Trevor Rosenthal, cutting a four-run deficit with two runs in the eighth and another in the ninth. The game ended with the tying run on third base on a Puig strikeout.
"With Kershaw on the mound, like everyone else in the stadium, I thought the game was over," left fielder Carl Crawford said.
Kershaw had never lost a game when given at least six runs of support. The Dodgers were so astonished over the result, they turned for inspiration to recent success over the rival Giants.
"We had two tough series against the Giants. We lost the first game both times," said catcher A.J. Ellis, who homered and had four hits. "The first time we got blown out. The second time we lost an extra-inning affair, and somehow we were able to rally and win the series. It's been our mantra all season long -- just win the series."
Kershaw said, "I'm not in shock," and maybe that's because he saw this original horror show last year when the Cardinals swamped him in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series. Friday night, like then, it was Matt Carpenter pulling off an amazing at-bat that helped turn Kershaw into a postseason losing pitcher.
Then it was an 11-pitch at-bat ending with a double that triggered a four-run third inning and led to a 9-0 elimination defeat. This time it was an eight-pitch at-bat for a bases-loaded double that keyed an eight-run avalanche in the seventh inning. Carpenter had already homered off Kershaw in his previous at-bat.
Kershaw was tough on himself.
"I feel terrible," said Kershaw, who still could pitch Game 4 or 5 of this series. "Who knows if they even want me to pitch at this point. It's an awful feeling to let your team down. They got me runs and I couldn't hold it. As a starting pitcher, it's your game to lose and I did. That's not a good feeling. We have a great team. If I don't get in the way, we have a good chance."
Kershaw, who had a one-hitter and five-run lead through 5 2/3 innings, was charged with eight runs, the most he's ever allowed at Dodger Stadium and one shy of his career worst. He's the first pitcher to give up seven runs in back-to-back postseason starts. He struck out 10 without a walk in 6 2/3 innings.
In last year's nightmare that ended the Dodgers' season, Kershaw allowed seven runs on 10 hits and some teammates believed the Cardinals stole signs or the pitcher tipped pitches from the stretch. Kershaw came into this season with an exaggerated glove wrap to hide the ball in the stretch, although he dismissed the pitch-tipping suggestion when it was raised again.
"I think that discredits their team," he said. "It's just a cop-out."
Kershaw retired 16 consecutive batters at one point, but lost it seemingly in an instant. He allowed five sharp singles and two runs in the seventh when manager Don Mattingly came to the mound, Kershaw's pitch count in 90-degree heat nearly 110. With uncertainty in the bullpen, however, Mattingly let the game's best pitcher continue with the bases loaded.
"Pretty easy decisions, actually," said Mattingly. "It's really hard to take Clayton out. Once he gets [Pete] Kozma, we're going to give him that's when I go out and check on him. [Oscar] Taveras, once he gets Taveras, I'm going to give him Carpenter."
Kershaw struck out pinch-hitter Taveras for the second out, but Carpenter ended a classic at-bat -- that began 0-2 and included five fouls -- by lining a 95-mph fastball to the right-center gap to clear the bases. During the onslaught, Kershaw went almost exclusively with fastballs.
In last year's Game 6, the Dodgers were blanked. The offense couldn't be blamed this time, as it scored nine runs on 16 hits, including two-run home runs by Ellis and Adrian Gonzalez. The good news for the Dodgers is they were just as successful against Wainwright as the Cardinals were against Kershaw.
"It was terrible. It was not good," Wainwright said of his outing.
Ellis, who hit .191 this year and battled injuries, was in no mood to talk about his offense.
"The last three innings I was second-guessing everything I did that at-bat," the catcher said. "It would have been nice to mix in some curveballs early in the count. Carpenter laid off a slider, fouled off tough pitches and one fastball leaked back over the plate and he did what an All-Star player does."
Rookie Pedro Baez relieved Kershaw in the seventh and served up a three-run homer to Matt Holliday that proved decisive. The eight-run inning was the most scored against the Dodgers in the postseason since St. Louis did it in 1985.

"Aval will be much better than Korean and Hollywood horror flicks" – Siddharth
Siddharth keeps his champagnes ready to be popped up now. With just four more days left for Aval to hit screens, he spreads out the positive vibes about movies. A positive film about a horror tale – sounds hypothetical in sense right? Perhaps, a confidence that keeps him firm that our spines will be chilled with unlimited scariness… Shedding lights on Aval and its exceptionally unconventional horror elements Sid says, "Aval will be much better than Korean and Hollywood horror flicks."
The reason he staples is an attention-grabbing fact that every supernatural element in this flick would be explained in spiritual and scientific agenda. Of course, we have witnessed horror tales find the exorcism through priests and rituals. But here, Siddharth utters that it would be something different. Milind Rau and Siddarth have seemingly gone through whole lots of fine-tunings as they didn't want humour to make a hugger-mugger sneak.

Write from the Heart has an amazing staff of coaches who work with the students. All the coaches are degreed professionals passionate about working with homeschoolers. Every coach does a lot more at Write from the Heart than grade papers, too—they're available daily to help students, discuss homework, facilitate literature discussions, and encourage each student individually through the writing process. Write from the Heart is an interactive class, and a big part of that is the wonderful coaches. In this series, we hope that you can get to know our staff even better.
Mrs. Constantino has such a passion for teaching and writing, which makes her a wonderful coach! She started volunteering in classrooms when she was in high school and never lost her passion for it. She earned her Bachelor's Degree in Education from Austin Peay State University, and she worked in just about every kind of classroom out there, from special education to gifted programs, and from preschool kiddos to college students. However, her real passion is helping students gain mastery of the written word. Currently, she teaches the Poetry and Short Story workshops during our Summer Institute, as well as Intermediate Composition in our year-round program.
Right now, Mrs. Constantino lives in North Carolina with her husband, who is currently an active duty soldier, and her two children.
What might your students be interested to know about you?
I'm a nerd. That is, I was in the marching band and orchestra all through high school and even for most of my college years. And, I'm obsessed with nerdy stuff like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars. I can't help it. I just love that stuff, and I'm not afraid to show it!
I'm also originally a California girl. Like, from the valley. If you hear me talk, you'd totally be able to call me out on it. I'm so full of "like" and "totally" and "sweet" and "awesome," they're practically coming out of my pores. I like to think that it makes my teaching style more effective; I always try to focus on the positive and things that I can compliment before moving on to constructive criticism.
What drew you to Write from the Heart?
Honestly, it kind of feels like fate. I was searching for a work-from-home teaching position, and I found a link to the site on a "10 Best Online Writing Programs" article. From there, I emailed Ms. Rice, not knowing who she was, and she just happened to have an opening for a new writing coach. Talk about perfect timing!
I'm super grateful for the opportunity each and every year I come back. Ms. Rice took a major chance on hiring a person she'd never met before, and I'd like to think that I've lived up to her expectations, as well as the expectations of my students. In all my years of teaching, I don't think I've ever worked for a more challenging program, nor have I ever had the opportunity to coach such a large number of ridiculously talented young writers.
What do you like about teaching online?
The dress code!
I mean, what other job lets me work in my jammies? Unless I get a job as a pajama model, it's pretty doubtful that I'll find another.
In all seriousness, though, I am really glad to have found a venue where I can work within my field of passion, which is teaching, while still doing something extremely important to me: raising my tiny humans.
Right now, I have two kids: my daughter, who's slowly becoming a selfie queen and my son, who has no idea what the proper facial expression should be when someone says, "Say cheese!" (see exhibit A). They're my whole world, and I'm so grateful that I get to put them right at the top of my priority list. They're amazing.
I'm also a big fan of the fact that my job moves with me. My husband is in the army, so we move every few years. Before my online work, I'd have to quit my job and start fresh each time. But now, my job is wherever my home happens to be. It's a pretty sweet deal.
What do you do with your family that you enjoy the most?
Since we're a military family, I've really come to love traveling and exploring new places. My daughter is 4 and has already lived in three states, while my 2-year-old son has already lived in two. Needless to say, we move a lot. In any given place we live, we're always visiting new museums and zoos, finding places to hike or ride bikes, and trying out every kind of restaurant you could ever think of. My family is always busy and never bored.
So far, we've lived in Texas, Tennessee, Colorado, and North Carolina (lots of southern states!). I'm looking forward to the new adventures life has to offer.

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) August 23, 2017
VidaPrimo, the premier Latin Music video network, will begin to offer its music video library, live Latin music performances, artist interviews and other original programming in a new television-like linear experience on August 24. The announcement was made by VidaPrimo Executive Vice President and General Manager Stephen Brooks. The new service will complement VidaPrimo's on demand service and debut on YouTube and VidaPrimo.com, eventually expanding to other sites and apps, including DailyMotion, Roku and Amazon Fire TV.
"This is the next step in VidaPrimo's emergence as a media company dedicated to independent Latin music and the Millennial fans who love it," says Brooks. "Our viewers want the freedom that on-demand gives them, but they also want a lean-back experience. Whichever they prefer, VidaPrimo can deliver." Viewers can access the linear feed on any number of devices, including mobile, desktop and connected streaming player.
Brooks describes the new ad-supported channel as an "experiential multi-cast" that draws on VidaPrimo's library of 8,000 music videos and dozens of hours of original content. "What we're going for with the multicast is an MTV circa 1985 experience, very video centric but accented by exclusive related programs and video premieres. It's for the passionate music fan who wants to check in for 30 or 40 minutes to catch up on their favorite artists and genres." Brooks notes the technology required to deliver the multicast is significantly more accessible now than it was 30 years ago.
The company believes its ability to launch a multicast will be attractive to virtual MVPDs as a "skinny bundle" option in the Spanish language or music tiers.

The Hindu LitFest 2016 gave me an unforgettable opportunity to listen to literary geniuses talk and discuss about things that had had a huge impact on them, the issues that, in their view would go on to bring in a magnificent shift in the general structure of acceptance and non-acceptance etc.
The first session that I attended was titled "Sing My Song" which had the renowned Carnatic Music exponent, Mr.Sanjay Subramaniam in conversation with Ms. Nirmala Lakshmanan.
I have always had great regard on Mr.Sanjay Subramaniam and Ms. Vishaka Hari because I know them to be Chartered Accountants who had the drive to pursue what they loved and to break the stereotypes of being auditors and the hype surrounding it. (I know the hype and also the respect it commands in the society because I am one of them)
Starting off with talking about being awarded the "Sangeetha Kalanidhi" award, he spoke about the massive personal responsibility that has been served upon him. Of course that did not mean that he had altered his journey or destination based on the award. He was careful about not letting the influence of the award and the recognition that it brought to interfere in his already pursuing path of music.
"Restriction breeds Creativity"
That was one of the prime take-aways that I had got from this session apart from the humour and cricket that was generously sprinkled. I found this statement from him to be very true and honest. In most of the cases, where there is restriction there will be rebellion. Most of the times such rebellion creates history. May be it is something to do with the human mind which is known to be complex and intricate. The mind is thirsty when it is deprived of something. The "yekkam" they say, is boundless during such situations. I have felt that personally and could relate to that statement in a more intimate fashion.
On the way the traditional carnatic music format is evolving, he says," Art is never static" and that all art forms go through a phase of turbulence. Art is supposed to give rise to different feelings and opinions to different people. It is not science to be perceived in the same manner by everyone. True words, Sir!
An artist derives energy from his audience. That is a hundred percent true. An artist must be true to himself. He must be daring enough to take risks in his performance and to attempt improvisation. He must be ready to accept and must be open minded enough to experiment and explore the hidden realms of the art that he fervently and reverently practices.
Also apart from the little thoughts on the Vivaadhi Concept, the prominence of Tamil Keerthanams in his concerts, the impiortance of the rapport with the accompanists and also about the general dilemma of the superiority of the Guru-Shishya mode of imparting musical education over the now-prevalent trend of Skype Classes, the one thing that made me admire him was his acceptance.
When one member from the audience asked if he has done anything at all to spread and increase the reach of carnatic music on a grassroot level (What the question-asker intended to know was if SS was going to schools and doing anything tangible to increase the awareness of carnatic music), SS was gracious and grounded enough to accept that he hasn't done anything of that sort. I admired that quality in him. Instead of beating around the bush saying superficial things or adopting to shame the person who had asked such a question to him on a public platform, SS accepted it. It kind of felt that it all boiled down to one's own choices and one need not try so hard to fit in to another's definition of something. It implied, albeit silently, that one can be original and be unapologetic about it. In my words, to one his own.
I enjoyed the session mainly because of the energy that it gave me and also for the core ideas that I had in me when I walked out of the auditorium. A very good start to an awesome feast, I would say.

Trials of Furno is the first episode in Rise of the Rookies.
A shipment of C-4000 explosives descends to a Merak 9 Mining Center. A Drop Ship follows, and the Alpha 1 Team grapples down from it. William Furno requests permission from Preston Stormer to descend, but Stormer refuses. Rotor then attacks, and the Heroes return fire. XPlode then arrives and begins dueling with Stormer. At the Hero Factory, Nathaniel Zib and Quadal maintain contact with Alpha Team.
The battle drives the Heroes into a mine, when Furno again asks to descend, but Stormer once again refuses. Meanwhile, Natalie Breez and Mark Surge watch from Mission Control, as Stormer continues dueling with XPlode. Stormer disarms the villain, but XPlode launches his Explosive Spikes, distracting Stormer, and flees, leaving Rotor for the Heroes. Furno is finally allowed to come down and bind Rotor in Hero Cuffs. After much taunting, Rotor whirls and shoots at Furno, causing Stormer to shove him out of the way and allowing the villain to escape.
Back at Hero Factory, Akiyama Makuro speaks with Professor Zib on Furno's potential. When Alpha Team returns, Furno hits the Training Sphere, vowing to earn Stormer's respect and get revenge on Rotor. Some time later, Stormer decides to take the rookies on a training mission. He, Surge, and Breez find Furno lying exhausted on his Furno Bike in the Training Sphere, and take him to recharge his Hero Core before setting off.
Whilst flying through space, Stormer receives an emergency call from an Explosives Plant on Lemus 2. At the plant, XPlode and Rotor are making off with two crates of explosives when they notice a Hero Pod descending. Rotor easily shoots it down, but the pod was merely a decoy. Meanwhile, the Heroes safely make their descent elsewhere.
The team charges the villains, but Stormer takes the brunt of their attack and is knocked unconscious. Breez and Surge drag him to safety, while Furno grabs his bike and takes on the villains. XPlode flees on his vehicle, and Rotor is subdued and cuffed by the budding Hero. Stormer, revived, congratulates Furno, and the rookie drives Rotor into the Drop Ship. The Heroes return to Hero Factory in triumph.

400-game milestone for Federal's player Wade 'Freddy' Hunter celebrated
What a huge day for the Federal football Club last Sunday with Wade 'Freddy' Hunter playing his 400th game for the club and Ron Pitts our oldest living life member celebrating his 90th birthday.
Congratulations to you both.
The Reserves game had Federals bounce out of the blocks kicking with the breeze and holding Quairading at bay as they peppered the goals kicking 3 goals, 4 points to Quairading 1 goal, 2 points for the term.
The second quarter saw Quairading lift their rating taking control and if not for goal front inaccuracy could have established a handy lead at the long break; scores being Federals 4.5 (29) to Quairading 3.8 (26).
The third tern was an even affair with both sides giving their all but neither side could gain the upper hand as they ended the term with Quairading trailing by four points.
Scores: Federals 6.7 (43) to Quairading 5.9 (39).
The final quarter allowed Federals with goal front accuracy extend their lead kicking 4 goals, 1 point, while Quairading with inaccuracy kicking 1 goal, 4 points handing Freddie's a 20-point winning margin; scores being Federals 10.8 (68) to Quairading 6.12 (48).
In the League match Federals were on fire in the first term winning in most positions on the ground to lead Quairading a merry dance by kicking seven goals while holding the Bulls to 1 goal, 1 point a lead of 35 points.
The second and third term saw Quairading respond to the challenge matching Federals in all facets of the game to outscore the home side reducing the margin to 21 points; scores being Federals 13.1 (79) to Quairading 9.4 (58).
The last quarter was a cliff hanger with Quairading kicking with a handy breeze at their backs reducing the margin as time passed to eventually take the lead, only to have Federals respond late in the term to hold a five-point advantage.
With all the spectators' hearts pounding in their chests and with seconds remaining the Bulls were awarded a mark as the siren sounded and from the 50 metre arc kicked truly to snatch a victory by one point and send their supporters into a frenzy.
Final scores Quairading 15.5 (95) to Federals 15.4 (94).
The Federals Fillies Girls had a resounding win over the Quairading Belles in the netball.
Scores: Fillies 71 goals to Quairading Belles 25 goals.
Reserves: 1st Reynald McIntosh; 2nd Derek Gregory; 3rd Cameron Lawler; Coaches' Award went to Cameron Smith.
League: 1st Jakeb Fudge; 2nd Nathan Phillips; 3rd Sean Oliver; Coaches' Award went to Blake McPherson.
Netball: As spoken by Lisa Williamson. A great team effort.

How to get your caffeine fix...without coffee
April 23, 2017
egistered dietitian TRACY LOCKWOOD, founder of Tracy Lockwood Nutrition, shares six ways to get your caffeine fix without coffee...
But first… coffee. No matter which way you slice it, our fast-paced society has led us toward needing a sip of coffee within minutes of waking up. A cup of morning joe can contain anywhere from 100 to 200 milligrams of caffeine. The current dietary guidelines recommend a daily limit of 400 milligrams of caffeine for a healthy adult so you might want to think twice before reaching toward your third cup of coffee!
The good news? You can get a similar caffeine fix without coffee. Check out six food and beverage ideas I recommend to my clients who are looking to jump off the coffee train, while still getting a similar caffeine buzz along the way. Tip: As with any foods or beverages containing caffeine, be sure to get plenty of water to prevent signs and symptoms of dehydration.
Matcha powder provides a hefty caffeine kick without the jitters. That's because it contains L-theanine, an amino acid that releases caffeine more gently into your body than coffee. Matcha has been known to relax the mind, which can enhance your mood. Just one teaspoon of matcha powder contains about 30 milligrams of caffeine which is about ⅓ the dose of a cup of coffee. Matcha may pack some bonus effects for our body such as improving our memory as well as sharpening our focus. Even better? Since matcha's become so popular, it's easy to get a matcha latte or matcha tea anywhere you get coffee.
Commonly known as "booch" or tea mushroom, this fermented tea is all the buzz (well, kind of). Although it contains 1/4 of the amount of caffeine compared to the standard cup of coffee, it's definitely enough caffeine for your body to notice. In fact, research shows that its very minuscule amount of alcohol (about ~2% due to the fermentation process) can naturally give you a jolt of energy! Plus, the bubbles from the carbonation can also wake you up a little if needed.
Clocking in around 30 milligrams per cup (1/3 of the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee), this antioxidant-rich tea is packed with polyphenols that can help you burn fat and protect your heart at the same time. And its health benefits don't stop there: Some studies have shown that green tea can lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and may even reduce total or LDL cholesterol. High-fives all around!
This is definitely not your go-to caffeine source in the AM. Why? Well, you'd need roughly 10 squares of dark chocolate to get the same amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee. Still, one square of dark chocolate is the perfect 3:00 PM snack to satisfy your sweet tooth, load you up with some good-for-you antioxidants and provide you with a mild boost of energy to help you power through the rest of your busy day.
Behold! One serving (~24 almonds) contains 1/4 of the amount of caffeine compared to a cup of coffee. This protein and fiber rich snack can keep your energy levels stay strong, all while providing you with a dose of healthy omega-3's to keep inflammation at bay.
This green tea-like drink is a great caffeine source and its caffeine release is more gradual than coffee. One cup of yerba mate tea roughly has the same amount of caffeine as one cup of coffee. In fact, regular yerba mate tea consumption can help lactic acid from building up in your muscles so you can reduce post-workout soreness. (I'm talking to you, roosters!) But make sure to get your yerba mate through natural teas and not through supplements.

Music can be a business, it can be a hobby, it can be a career, but it also always has to be a passion. This should be obvious and I only mention this to tell you something about my own reasons for doing what I do. For years now after a week of often physically hard work, I still find the drive to organise gigs (and on occasion help run full blown festivals) review CD's, write gig guides and articles and generally turn out to support live music. Why? It's not something I seem to have any choice over; I guess it's who I am. Sometimes as I see the list of writing obligations stack up, as I'm informed that yet another band has cancelled a gig at a few days noticed and has to be replaced, as the sound of another deadline can be heard whooshing by, to paraphrase the late, lamented Douglas Adams, I wonder, why do I bother? It's all, largely, unpaid, the locally writing often attracts as many slings and arrows as it does appreciation and the alternative option of a sofa, a bottle of Shiraz and few chapters of Kerouac are always very tempting. So, the answer? Nights like the last Songs of Praise show run at The Victoria. This scribbled art attack is by way of a review of the night, as seen from the inside of the set up as well as stream of thought as to why people like me do things like this rather than take the easy options. And as I say, I seem to have little control over these things, but rather than complaining that you are not satisfied with the live music options in your area, isn't it better to make something happen that does tick all your boxes and hopefully other peoples as well.
The raison d'etre behind Songs of Praise, even before I was fortunate enough to take over the booking of it, was to show case the best of local talent as well as the best unsigned acts from around the country. It is often difficult to entice many bands from outside the area as Songs of Praise runs on a very low budget, being a Thursday, the gigs being free entry and the biggest factor is often punter apathy. Whilst acknowledging that people often have lots of other considerations on a school night, music and musicians don't just exist on the weekends and need to be supported every day of the working calendar. However, the behind the scenes work with Green Man Music, favours such as free reviews and other unpaid promotional work coupled with the fact that the venue for Songs of Praise, The Victoria, always makes for a very supportive, enjoyable and above all professional working environment, bands are often willing to travel distance for a lesser wage packet than usual. Payment in kind, if you like.
So on to the gig. The story behind my connection with Bridie Jackson's music is in itself a great analogy of how networking works within the music business. As I said, I write music reviews, mainly unpaid and usually for PR companies who are pushing pre-release campaigns or up coming tours. Out of the blue, and to this day I still am unaware of how they found me, an album by a band called Cuttooth arrived in my mail box. The album, Elements, was a swirling fusion of ambient electronica, fragile instrumentation, sampled street noise, atmosphere and hazy trance beats. Conventional singing was only apparent on a few songs and that singer was Bridie Jackson.
After submitting a review, I checked out the singer's own musical creations, fell in love with the music and so contacted her regarding any review material. In short an album review took place (though I won't give the game away and spoil the live review that follows) and some months later was asked if I could help fit any dates into a proposed tour that was being pencilled in. And here we are. Well, not quite. The power of getting your work out there and networking goes a stage further. Whilst I was trying to wok out what bands I could add to a night headlined by such a unique sound, I was listening to the local BBC Introducing show and the obvious support band wafted from the radio, and thus Salisbury's The Gallant Tailors came on board.
It was a night that could have suffered from really low attendances, the two main bands were from out of town, it's Thursday, it's Swindon and in general it's not an easy time to be hosting music, even free shows of this quality. When people can sit at home and watch Celebrity Shoe Size featuring Jeremy Spake, why would they need to put trousers on and go to a gig. Well, we know why. Due to the nature of the nights music, not to mention the fact that it would make the place look fuller, the venue was decked out with tables and chairs, but thankfully the turn out was good, though the seating still added to the overall vibe of the night.
Rumour Shed may be friends of mine but they were on the bill for all the right reasons and were the perfect opening act. Now operating as a three piece of guitar, upright bass and vocals, the loss of the drums seemed to be the right decision. Some music doesn't need to be overly driven, sort of the theme of the night really, and with out the percussive beats the flavours of the music really stewed. Theirs is a sensuous, baroque acoustica, all breathy vocals and intricate guitar lines, warm, soft bass notes and luscious delivery. It is interesting to note that the two guys in the band have a background in riff drive indie and garage rock, thus proving that all roads lead to folk music. Forget the image of finger in the ear, Aran-sweatered, pipe smoking purists, probably called Brian singing about "lily white hands" " pretty fair maids" or " it was on a (fill in the blank) morning, just as the (fill in the blank) was dawning." Tonight was the sound of folk music remaining timeless but doing so with abject modernity, and not the Mumford and The Whale sort of calculated Folk + Indie + Beard + Projected Earnestness = record sales, this was the real deal, the folk club meets the fashionable, a clash of an often derided genre and the cool, the real musical underground or what folk music did next.
The Gallant Tailors have more of the conventional band look to them; they have a drummer and everything. What is so good about their approach is that for all their arsenal of musical building blocks, drums, upright bass, two guitars and two vocals, they know how to use them sparingly to gain the desired effect. Theirs is a music that is as modern as it is ancient, as contemporary as it is retrospective and seems to follow a line that links the modern acoustic scene with the acid folk of the seventies, folk revivalists of the 60's and a thread of traditions drifting back in time. Dual harmonies effortlessly mix with dual guitars and bass lines that Danny Thompson would happily lay claim to lock in with sparing drums to deliver a final product that is undercut with a air of wistful reflection and dark emotion but stopping short of the easy trap of wallowing in their own misery.
Follow that! Well thankfully I knew I had booked a band that were capable of topping the very high standards set from the start of the night. Bridie Jackson and The Arbour, for touring purposes at least, four ladies from the North East managed to really prove the less is more cliché to be true. Over the years that I have been promoting bands from all genres, it just goes to show that the most memorable performance was not some bombastic rock band, fashion drenched indie chancers, showy math rock guitarists or primordial grunge power house, but a performance, and indeed a night, built on atmosphere and anticipation, music that seemed to exist just enough to form shells to wrap emotion in, translucent bubbles of feeling. To underline this their first number "And We Talked" was made up of vocals, cello and bell-plates, the modern successor to the hand bell, part percussive instrument, part wallpaper scrapper and the result was spellbinding.
It was halfway through this opening salvo that worlds seem to collide in a very small way. At the back of a now full room a group of guys who can only be described as shaven-head, football yobs, to my eyes anyway, had wandered in and baffled by the unique music they were experiencing had become confused. Instead of deciding it was not for them took the only cause of action that seemed appropriate and were ridiculing the music in ever increasing volume. But as twenty pairs of eyes from the crowd fixed them with the most disapproving of looks in a way that only an British folk crowd can and realizing that they weren't going to get any covers of Madness songs they beat a hasty retreat. Folk music 1, lager boys 0.
And the music just built from there, violin, cello, guitar, cahon, bells and a wonderful raft of vocals drove the night on with one mesmerizing offering after another. Ethereal is a word that I use too often, but this was the right show to apply it to, otherworldly is another but largely without reaching for the Thesaurus it is hard to find the right words to sum up this night and particularly, this band. The melancholic air to some of the songs seemed to be at odds with the band between songs. Chatty, charismatic, fun and more obviously in love with what they were doing. Four musicians that were totally at home with their chosen career, each other and the environment that they found themselves in, why else would a band from Newcastle spend a week touring the south of England. In this age of internet, downloads and instant access music, still knowing that there is still no substitute for the intimate live show. The music may be easily found in digital form but the feeling left by a performance such as this can only happen when the band are there in front of you.
Theirs is a brave approach to crafting her songs, taking more out of them than most writers ever put in and leaving a fractured, delicate beauty and a vocal that has room to command without ever dominating the songs. Sensuous whispers that sound like screams, soaring singing that seems to be carried through on the breeze all tumble over music built on half heard melodies, sweeping strings and half imagined tunes. What seems to take place in the band seems to be only half the story, a suggestion if you like, with the listeners own mind filling in the rest, the result a total connection, a synergy between band and audience.
It was a glorious night marred only by a loud and presumably drunken heckler in an otherwise respectful audience. I assume he was a friend or relation of the band who doesn't get to many gigs of this type and who felt he needed some sort of validation by trying to be part of the performance, still that's live music for you.
So back to the opening discussion. Why do I put the unpaid hours in? Part of the answer lies in the fact that in a town like Swindon I don't think anyone else would put a show like this, I certainly haven't seen anything like it and it makes you wonder why an, essentially, enthusiastic amateur can make this happen whilst the people who do this sort of thing for a living seem to settle along such tried and tested lines.
So why do I do this, maybe you will find the answers in the videos below.

For parents and students alike, it's that hectic time of year again. And, hopefully like clockwork, 2,400 men and women will move into Brock University residences on Sunday as a support group of student volunteers and staff members also come together Sept. 2 to help coordinate the University's annual "Move-In Day" tradition.
First-year students from across Canada and around the world will be moved into one of Brock's seven residences between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Sunday. To make that frenzied schedule work, families are given a one-hour window of time to arrive. Computers, phones, books, writing pads, foodstuff, clothes, pictures, you name it – will be carried to and fro.
As families arrive and pull into a specific unloading area near their residence, some 600 Brock University students from a wide variety of athletic teams, student clubs and groups, will help unload the incoming students' belongings and bring them to their assigned room.
"The student volunteers play an essential role as vehicles arrive on campus to unload," said Jamie Fleming, Director of Residences. "They help move the students' belongings. They are a welcoming and smiling face — and they provide reassurance that students have made a great choice in coming to this University."
Hundreds of Brock staff will also be on hand Sunday to help make the introduction to University life a bit easier. Departments and services such as Residences, Dining, Parking, IT Help Desk, Brock Card, Campus Store and the Walker Sports Complex will all be open throughout the day.
"We want students and their families to feel welcomed and that their arrival onto campus is a smooth, efficient process. We could not do this, without the tremendous help and support from people across many areas of campus," Fleming said.
Because of the logistics required to move 2,400 students into residences, parking and access around the Brock campus will be limited Sunday. People visiting the University for other purposes — including those visiting the Walker Sports Complex or outdoor athletic fields — are asked to park in Zone 1 and allow extra time to get in and out of campus.
Good luck students and welcome to Niagara!

Holy Plans
Verse of the Day: Jeremiah 1:5
NIV: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart…"
The Message: "Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you..."
A Prayer:
What joy it is to be in the center of Your plans for my life. Emotion fills my heart as I see Your will for my life unfolding. It's the most amazing thing I've ever experienced. There is nothing like being in the precise place You planned for me before I was born. Your love keeps me on the path with You, and I am so grateful for that. Keep me on this path with You, my Father. Keep me with You always. I love you, my Daddy. Amen.
Whispers from God:
Remain in Me and I will continue to reveal My plans for you.
A Thought to Ponder:
There is no better place to be than in the midst of God's Holy Plans. ~ Amy

In case you are planning to make some modifications in your home, then you can start by replacing your regular window with UPVC windows. This type of window offers many benefits that regular windows cannot provide. It can enhance the visual appeal of your home, improve its security, as well as improve its energy efficiency. The advantages of UPVC windows are the main reason why this type of window keeps on gaining popularity as time passes. Here are the main benefits that you will enjoy when you install UPVC window in your home.
Energy Efficiency
If you want to lower the cost of your power bills, then installing UPVC windows is one of the most practical things to do. UPVC windows have higher efficiency ratings as opposed to its aluminium and steel counterparts. The main reason is that this window provides more insulation to your room. It never gets warm easily during the summer, allowing you to maintain low temperature in your room during summer. It also prevents heat from leaking, which in turn allows you to keep your home warm during winter. With the energy efficiency of UPVC window, you will be able to reduce the amount of power you consume for HVAC systems, lowering the cost of your power bills.
Easy Maintenance
This is another advantage of using UPVC windows. This window is made of un-plasticized polyvinyl chloride, a material known for being easy to maintain. As long as they are well-installed, UPVC windows are resistant to rotting, flaking, rusting, or even fading. Because of these features, you do not have to repaint your windows from time to time, since they can retain their colour and ambience for a long time. The only maintenance procedure that you need to apply in UPVC windows is regular cleaning, which you can do by simply wiping the dust off with a piece of dry cloth.
If you want to ensure that your house is safe and secured, then you should consider installing UPVC windows. The structure of this window is robust and solid, making forced entries futile. Although, aluminium windows are still the best when it comes to security, UPVC windows come in second with minimal difference between their sturdiness and durability. With UPVC windows, you will have the assurance that your house is burglar proof.
If you are thinking that UPVC windows are very expensive, then you are mistaken. Actually, the price of UPVC windows is much lower when compared to other alternatives, such as windows made of aluminium and timber. Furthermore, UPVC is much easier to install, and this is why installation fee charged for this type of window is much lower when compared to other types of window. Furthermore, if you are going to consider the benefits that you will get from UPVC windows, you can conclude that you will get more than what you have paid for when you buy them.
Aesthetic Appeal
Aside from the five things mentioned above, another advantage of installing UPVC window is that it makes your home more appealing. These windows come in various colours, styles, and design, which in turn allow you to choose the one that will blend with the interior design of your home.

Topic tags/keywords: bandsaw modification
So I'm in need if a bandsaw to use for resawing. However, for the cuts I want to make, I dont have $1500 for a bandsaw with the power and capacity needed. So, my question is this, can I modify a cheap big box store bandsaw by putting a gas engine on the pulley and stiffen the frame to handle at least 1 inch resaw blades (if not thicker).

Would be nice to know size of current band saw you want to modify and current HP. Might look at riser kit and increasing motor horse power as an alternative. Price of riser kit for their 14" band saws runs about $95. + shipping but might find something on E-Bay.
Friend of mine did lot of resawing on his father's 1950 – 1960 band saw with ½ or 3/4 HP motor for years. When that motor quit bought a used 1 HP motor and added a riser kit. That Band saw has been operational for more than 50 years.
Not a fan of the gas engine idea!

Not a good idea, IMHO. The saws are engineered and built to certain specs and going beyond those is a recipe for disaster. Even if you could stiffen the frame enough and add HP, you are still dealing with wheels, bearings, guides and other parts that are designed for smaller blades and motors.
A good 14in bandsaw with a riser kit and proper blade is capable of resawing up to 12in with proper setup. Sure, the feed rate will be slower than a larger and more powerful saw, but it'll work fine and be safe. If you need to go beyond that, either save up, find a used machine or consider building one. Matthias Wandel has plans for wooden framed bandsaws up to 20in throat and plenty of resaw capacity. I'd trust his engineering before trusting my own.

Initial impression: this guy is nuts, but after thinking about it, its more like 'hmmmmm I wonder'. If you do this, definitely post a project blog.
You can find used old iron BS's fairly regularly for $2-300. Properly set up with the correct blade and some patience they can be successfully used to resaw.
However, if you do a lot of re-sawing or don't have the patience, you can upgrade the motor.

Sounds like it should work OK, I would go with an engine between 13hp & 15hp with a centrifugal clutch. I wouldn't worry about the frame but I would install a stronger blade tensioning spring. I would also perform any modifications in such a way to be able to quickly and easily return the saws back to completely stock form. I would also purchase an extended warranty from the store.

First off I would question if you really need a 1" wide blade. I have re-sawn 7 1/2" yellow pine with a 1/2" blade.
Second if you need more power, I would suggest getting a larger electric motor instead of a gasoline motor. Probably cost less and be more useful.
#6 posted 05-24-2017 05:51 PM
Why would an electric motor be more useful? Not really concerned with fuel cost; as i said it will promarily be used for ripping. Planning to use it in long batch runs, plowing through logs into lumber, and resawing some of the lumber I currently have.
I have Mathias Wandel's plans for his bandsaws, just trying to save a bit of work. I can pick up a 14" saw for about 300, (roughly the cost of building one myself).
Yeti, why would you not worry about modding the frame? Wouldn't it twist with the increased tension?? I understand the need for a heavier tension spring though.
#7 posted 05-24-2017 05:55 PM
I don't see a problem as long as everything is reinforced. The bearings shouldn't be a problem as long as your revolutions are close to the same. You don't need to go faster than what it already does. The extra horsepower will just keep it from bogging down on the larger stock you resaw.
The only problem I see are the spring, which would have to be changed because the stock one will not be designed to tension a wider band, which you already know. Also, the wheels are only going to be wide enough to handle at most a 3/4" blade. Trying to run a blade that is too wide for the wheels could cause big tracking issues, which would lead to bad cuts at the least and blades flying or breaking at the worst.

The wheels on 14" band saws aren't really
You can buy 1/2" or 5/8" blade stock

I would get a thin body blade so as to not need the force required for tensioning a full body carbon steel blade (0.042") would be ~ 945lbs. whereas a thin body (0.035") would only be ~ 788lbs. I'm not sure the saw frame would need to be reinforced, but it would establish a need before assuming it would by measuring frame deflection with the desired blade installed and properly tensioned.

#10 posted 05-24-2017 06:57 PM
You guys make a good point about the wheels. What if I were to take from Wandel's designs and make new, wider 14" wheels, reusing the bearings from the existing ones?
I don't want to use thinner blades for fear of overheating the thinner material. I will be using the the saw from really thick (8-12+ inches) stock and logs.
#11 posted 05-24-2017 07:48 PM
Looked at Matthis Wandel's band saw and you would have to modify those plans to get depth of cut you want. Reengineering plans to fit your needs is an arduous task fraught with danger.
Home Depot & Sears can sell you a WEN band saw that will meet your cutting requirement for less than $500. There are other saw costing less than that would not bother with! Rather see you go with Grizzly G0555 version with riser kit than those bandsaws. There are other alternatives made by Laguna and Rikon that sell for way less than $1,500 which might prove more reliable without riser kits.
Best blade for a 14" band saw are 1/2" wide, some folks do get wider blades on their bandsaws but they are few and far between.
Electric motor versus gas motor for a bandsaw all about safety when resawaing! Handy on & off or even a floor switch really nice to have. Dust created by a bandsaw not really good for any motor so would rather have electric over gas any day.
Don't know or care about where you live but might be worth checking out older bigger bandsaws for sale in your area.

Let me be the first to offer to hold your beer (and a camera) when you pull the chord on your franken-saw for the first time. I'll even dial 911 and be poised on pressing the call button if need be. Not to dissuade you in the least, as I really want to see your blog on building this and running the first log through it, but there has to be a better way, right?
How about building an Alaskan Saw Mill and using a chainsaw for rough cutting boards, then running stuff through a joiner or planner? I think that Wandel also did a build on a horizontal bandsaw for large logs, that had mixed results.
Depending on what state you are in (not mental, I think we all have a guess on that one :) ) you might want to check the local Government Surplus auction sites. The one in Washington State (for me at least) regularly auctions off saws from all of the local school districts and technical colleges. Down side is that it is most often 3 phase, but for less than $150 you can get a VFD and run it off from 240v power.
4 months ago, through a State Surplus Auction, I bought a 20" Rockwell (3 phase) for $370, then got a Teco FM50 VFD for $130. 10 minutes to rewire the motor from 480v to 240v and I have an amazing old school, american built monster of a saw for $500
Might be worth a look. Here is the website I bought my saw from:
On the Right hand side, under "Browse auctions within area" Click on "Select Region" and pick your State. Then click on the left hand side for "industrial Equipment" and it will list everything that every state and school district has up for auction.
As an example, right now there is a 36" DoAll bandsaw at $300 that no one has bid on.
The University of Idaho has a Powermatic 143 that is currently at $250
Roanoke County Public School in VA has a Powermatic 141 (?) that just got listed today for $50
I think it's worth checking out every couple of weeks. Maybe I have gotten incredibly lucky, but I have bid on and won about a dozen pieces of equipment over the last 2 years and all of them have been great.
Obviously some of it is in non working condition, but you sound mechanically inclined so that probably is not a down side. My saw was listed as "could not test due to plug" and I bought sight unseen, so I lucked out in a big way that it works so well. Disclaimer: Your results may vary.

Sounds more like you want a small band mill instead of a band saw. Weld up a frame and use a couple trailor wheels and tires and just build a band mill to cut your logs and larger lumber!
#15 posted 05-25-2017 11:17 AM
Now that you mention it, that may actually be the easier route. After looking into proper wheel sizes for wider blades, a modified cheap saw would just not be up to the task. Thanks everyone for your responses, if I decide to do it just for the heck of it I will definitely post up a project blog.

Pride Apex Sprint Mobility Scooter
New pride sprint mobility scooter fills the gap in the market offering a collapsible portable scooter with pneumatic tyre's and 35 a/h batteries giving the user stability comfort and range .
Key features:
• Disassembles for storage and transport
• Pneumatic tyres
• Long 20 mile range
• Extra legroom
The Pride Apex Sprint mobility scooter is a pavement scooter designed to come apart in the same way as a boot scooter, making it possibly to transport it in a car or store in small spaces. The Sprint can be easily disassembled into five separate pieces, including a split battery box. While the heaviest part is 23 kg, which is heavier than that of most boot scooter, it can still be lifted into a vehicle, although two people may be required to do so depending on circumstances.
The advantage of having a larger scooter is the extra performance and comfort available – larger pneumatic wheels help to soften the ride, while the extra legroom is particularly ideal for taller people. The larger size also offers improved stability, while allowing the Apex Sprint to take large 35 Ah batteries that offer a range of up to 20 miles on a single charge – far more than that of a standard boot scooter.
Other features include the typical ergonomic delta tiller found on more advanced scooters, and LED lighting to ensure visibility. A weight capacity of 21.5 stone can accommodate most users. Unusually for a scooter, the Apex Sprint is not available in red – instead being offered in either blue or orange.
The Apex Sprint is ideal for those after a comfortable scooter for pavement use that will occasionally have to be transported in a car. It is particularly suited to taller people who require extra legroom.

Venus Williams is making short work of her opponents at the Australian Open.
The 13th-seeded American advanced to the quarterfinals for the ninth time in this tournament with a 6-3, 7-5 victory over German Mona Barthel on Sunday in Melbourne, Australia.
Williams, who has yet to drop a set in the tournament, needed only 96 minutes to dispatch Barthel. She broke her foe's serve in the 11th game of the second set and served out.
Williams, who needed 58 minutes to wipe out Ying-Ying Duan 6-1, 6-0 on Friday, meets Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the next round. The 24th-seeded Russian upended countrywoman Svetlana Kuznetsova, 6-3, 6-3 earlier in the day.
"I was really challenged to play my best tennis and now I advance to the quarterfinals to play an opponent who is really on fire," the 36-year-old Williams said in an on-court interview.
Williams has won three of the five career meetings with Paylyuchenkova, including a 6-1, 3-6, 6-2 triumph in a 2014 first-round match in Montreal.
Kuznetsova needed 3 hours, 36 minutes to upend Jelena Jankovic and advance to Sunday's tilt and was no match for Pavlyuchenkova, losing to her for the second time in as mant weeks.
"I'm kind of shocked, a little! But at the same time I'm so happy," said Pavlyuchenkova, who bounced the eight-seeded Kuznetsova in straight sets last week at the Apia International Sydney.
Kuznetsova dismissed that her previous match rendered her powerless versus her countrywoman, but the two-time Grand Slam champion noted she wasn't at her best.
"I cannot say I was very tired, but I was really tight. I mean, definitely I was not the freshest, but still, I was OK," Kuznetsova said. "I know I still have to improve on a lot of different things in the game to get decent level, and I was a little bit too tight today in my opinion."
Pavlyuchenkova breezed through the first three games and kept Kuznetsova on the defensive with her groundstrokes. The former broke the latter twice in the opening set victory.
Kuznetsova didn't help her cause with 19 unforced errors, paving the way for Pavlyuchenkova to advance her first Australian Open quarterfinal berth.
Top-seeded Angelique Kerber of Germany and American Coco Vandeweghe were slated to square off Sunday night. Seventh-seeded Garbine Muguruza of Spain and Romania's Sorana Cirstea also were on the schedule.

Gary Westfahl, Ph.D., Coordinator, Success Central, The Learning Center
(951) 827-5229
Westfahl earned the 2003 Pilgrim Award, presented by the Science Fiction Research Association to honor lifetime contributions to science fiction and fantasy scholarship. He has written or edited numerous scholarly books about science fiction. His current research involves writing a book about realistic films about space travel, "Riders to the Stars: A History of the Spacesuit Film, from 1929 to the Present," which will document why such films have failed to capture the public imagination and will provide additional reasons as to why humanity may not yet be ready to conquer space. "My lifetime of researching science fiction, and of garnering insights from its texts as to why the world has not advanced into space as rapidly and extensively as science fiction writers once envisioned, has convinced me that the true lesson to be learned from the Apollo program involves the danger of premature overreaching," he says. "I am convinced that today we simply do not have the technology and the resources to achieve any meaningful progress in conquering space, beyond narrowly focused, spectacular stunts, and one lamentable effect of the successful lunar landings has been to falsely persuade many people that we have the capacity to move on to similar, and even more grandiose, projects, but simply lack the will to do so."
George Slusser, professor of comparative literature emeritus, curator emeritus of the Eaton Collection
The "Golden Age" of science fiction literature (1940s-1950s) and its aftermath in the 1960s are interconnected with the space race, Slusser says. For more than 25 years Slusser helped build UC Riverside's internationally known Eaton Collection, the world's largest publicly accessible collection of science fiction, fantasy, horror and utopian fiction. It is the major resource for research in science fiction, fantasy, horror and utopian literature worldwide and includes works in Chinese, Czech, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian and Spanish. The collection consists of nearly 100,000 hardback and paperback books, nearly 300,000 fanzines, as well as pulp magazines, film and visual material, comic books, and ephemera.
Derek Burrill, assistant professor of media and cultural studies
(951) 827-1261
Professor Burrill studies science fiction as an embodied form of historical and cultural practice that constantly morphs in relation to contemporary anxieties and desires. He notes that the Internet as we know it today is a direct result of the Cold War and the space race. In order to survive a nuclear attack, the U.S. government, universities and the private sector imagined and then built a network system that would withstand an attack and retain its robustness by decentralizing the network. This, in turn has led to countless re-imaginings of how labor, play, communications – even cognition itself – can be non-hierarchical and amorphous in structure and function.
The University of California, Riverside (www.ucr.edu) is a doctoral research university, a living laboratory for groundbreaking exploration of issues critical to Inland Southern California, the state and communities around the world.
