Despite levelling the score twice in the game, Lostock could not take the advantage and saw 2 second half goals from Garstang take the 3 points.
On a cold and wet summer night Lostock took all 3 points with goals from Adam Stammers (2) and Pete Wright. The win sees Gerards keep an unbeaten start to the season and sit near the top of the league.

Top Points is normally used for the steam locomotive hauled trains to reverse the locomotive for the climb to Clarence, or the descent to Bottom Points. When the tour is operated by the railmotors, all that is required is for the driver to change ends on the platform. Passengers are still encouraged to alight the train and take in the impressive view however!
The Zig Zag Railway closed their doors on the 17th of June, 2012 due to a lack of funds and a number of issues raised after a recent safety incident on the railway.
Before Points West Living Wetaskiwin opened its doors in July 2018, General Manager Tamara Thomas was dreaming of music. A musician herself, Tamara knows well how music can resonate with people at any stage of life.
Tamara’s vision and research led her to apply for a grant from the federal government’s New Horizons Seniors Program to purchase the tools to build a music program for residents of PWL Wetaskiwin. Her application was accepted, and the community is now home to a baby grand piano, a stage, and a sound system.
"Dawn points, and another day
Prepares for heat and silence. Out at sea the dawn wind
Wrinkles and slides. I am here
Or there, or elsewhere. In my beginning" - T.S. Eliot
"Zorii mijesc si inca o zi
Se pregateste de vipie si tacere. In larg briza matinala
Se-ncreteste si luneca. Sunt aici
Sau acolo sau altundeva. In inceputul meu" - T.S. Eliot

We got slapped with four points of order on HB 8 that did not pan out today. One true point of order is enough to make you question an entire week of work until the ruling comes out. As a practice, all the committees triple and quadruple check their work to ensure that no real POOs come out. So, when we heard there were points of order called, everything stopped until we could determine if they were real or not. Three points of order are of the magnitude to cause you to question your whole reason for living if they are true. It turned out to be nothing in the end; and we can maintain our good record.
It's funny that suddenly, after the POOs were brought up, we got calls asking us what we did wrong before the ruling came out that it was nothing. We tease each other in the committee offices to relieve some of the monotony. There was even one staffer come down and ask to help us double check our work on his boss's bill to prevent a Point of Order, very funny. Suddenly, we were "pariahs" before the truth was determined. Stacey Nicchio, the Committee Coordinator, mentioned that the Committees used to put POO stickers on each others doors when one of the committees got a POO called on them. Because of the comaraderie in the committe offices, a little teasing can be expected. So, what is a point of order?
Let me first tell you how all the committees work to prevent them. The committees, in general, have everything under control. Every week, the committees meet with the Committee Coordinator's Office for a brown bag lunch. We go over and over different scenarios to come up with solutions to problems that might arise. We even have Chris Griesl stop by to give us kudos for a job well done or to point out potential problem areas. Our ultimate goal is to not make old mistakes. If we are to make a mistake, it is preferable that it be something that nobody has done before. In addition, committees are in constant contact with the coordinator's office and even the Parliamentarian's office if we have any questions or problems.
Our work is to get bills through to the floor. Our overriding objective, however, is to prevent points of order. It is much preferable to us to kill a bill with a possible point of order and start it over again than to put something out that will get shot down. We want bills to succeed or fail on their own merit, not because of a technicality.
Damian Duarte, the previous committee clerk for Criminal Jurisprudence, did not get any points of order that stuck his last session. He is very helpful to all the committees and is always around to coach us in best practices so that we can follow his footsteps. He set a high standard that all the committee clerks are doing our best to match. I'm not saying that all the committees are perfect, but we do go through a great deal of effort to ensure the quality of our work.
Having said that, a point of order can be anywhere from a gross error to a minor technicality. Given that we have been trained to spot big errors, the most likely type that could come out is something like misspelling somebody's name or punctuation. The reason to point POOs out is to ensure that bills become laws without any defects in their creation. A POO sounds bad, but it's really just a way for the House of Representatives to have some quality control. When a member calls one, the House stops deliberation until the issue is investigated.
All the committees know that their work is under intense scrutiny, so we are all being super diligent in proofing our work. When somebody calls one on the floor, committees have no way of knowing if it was simply a procedure to stall or a real error until the Parliamentarian makes a ruling.

"Newcastle students' quiz victories
The University’s representatives look set for a good year in the University Challenge following two recent victories.
The students defeated a team of teaching staff by a big margin in their final practice match at the union before facing the University of New South Wales at Kensington.
In a nail-bitting finish, Newcastle and UNSW tied on 220 points each at the end of half an hour. Neither team could answer the first tie-breaking question, and another one was called for. Newcastle got in first, to defeat the strong UNSW side.
Without television support this year, University Challenge has become a lunch-time entertainment on several campuses and five Universities – New South Wales, Sydney, Macquarie, Wollongong and Newcastle – have organised their own competition.
Newcastle has an enthusiastic squad, but the pressure of exams forced a number of players to miss the day-long trip to Kensington on October 18. The first-choice team, how was intact.
Last year’s captain, Mr Mark Priest, a second-year Science student, led the team again. Mr Noel Leggatt, who is studying modern languages, also cam from last year’s side, which made the finals of the televised national competition.
They were joined by Mr Stuart Cooper (second year Mathematics and Computing Science) and Mr Keith Joseph (second year Medicine),
In their only practice together before the competition, the students faced a team led by Professor Frank Bates – who was captain of Sheffield University’s team in 1966.
Professor Bates and his colleagues, Associate Professor Colin Keay, Associate Professor Norman Talbot and Professor Ian Plimer, found the students too quick.
Mr Priest said later the practice match had been invaluable.
“The academics knew the answers all right, but we had all had too much practice on the buzzer system. They just couldn’t get in fast enough.
“It gave us a lot confidence for the match at Kensington because it was the first time Noel and I had played with Stuart and Keith.
“New South Wales had three of last year’s four players back again, so they were not only very strong but also experienced in the pressures of sitting on stage in front of a noisy audience and using the buzzers.
“Officially, in this first round, all that counts is how many points you score. “But a tie was such a let-down after such a tense game that both sides felt we should play a tie-breaker to satisfy the audience. We knew we were strong enough to win, and we did it”.
Newcastle’s second and final match in the first round of the competition was at to Wollongong on Friday, October 26. The Professors were generous enough to line up again to provide the team with more practice.
Semi-finals of the competition are being held at Macquarie University, with Sydney the proposed venue for the final."

[Perspective, as its inventor remarked, is a beautiful thing]
Vanishing points are illusive. They're all over the place. Scientific perspective forces the objects in a picture to disappear away from the beholder instead of bringing them within his reach as painting should.
Facts be told, there are three aspects to perspective. The first has to do with how the size of objects seems to diminish according to distance: the second, the manner in which colors change the farther away they are from the eye; the third defines how objects ought to be finished less carefully the farther away they are. (Leonardo da Vinci)
It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Speaking of maze, life is a maze in which we take the wrong turning before we have learnt to walk. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
When I look at my life and the lives of my friends these days - with our dizzying number of opportunities, skills and talents - I sometimes feel as though we are all mice in a giant experimental maze, scurrying around frantically, trying to find our way through. Live long; live like your in a maze.

Minnie has been fully deboxed, and is free standing.
Here are detailed photos of the 2018 Minnie Mouse Rock the Dots Limited Edition Signature Doll. I picked her up in person at my local Disney Store on release day, Monday January 22, 2018, which is also National Polka Dot Day in the US. She is also available online in the US and European Disney Store websites. She is the sixth Signature Minnie doll to be released by the Disney Store, but the first Signature Minnie doll that I have bought for my collection. She is #2405 of 6000.
She is 11 inches tall to the top of her head, or 12 inches to the top of her ears. She has rooted hair and eyelashes, and her ears are covered in her hair. She has a rocker style outfit, with black faux leather jacket, white shirt, red double layer tulle skirt with silver glitter dots, and a red satin underskirt. She is wearing black leggings, and faux suede boots. She had molded white plastic gloves, large red cloth bow, and red plastic rimmed sunglasses. She also has a black purse hanging from her left wrist. She comes in a designer style case, with black plastic base, clear acrylic cover, with a black and white polka dot background. She also comes with a cardboard slipcover.
Here are some observations I made after deboxing her. She can free stand very stably. I also managed to get her in a running stance without using a stand. I decided to leave the jacket tacked to her shirt, and her shades sewn to her hair. Her purse has a metal snap closure, and opens like a real purse. She has a black body below her head. She has 11 points of articulation: ball jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips and knees, although some of her joints have limited freedom of movement. Her hair ears have black rubber bands around the base of the ears, and are very neatly bound, with no unsightly nubs sticking out.
