It took about thirty years of people piledriving their friends on their trampolines for WWE to finally put a mandatory “Do Not Try This At Home” warning before any of their TV programs. They needed to regulate the actions of stupid kids because the fact is that professional wrestling by its very nature is dangerous. WWE superstars are some of the greatest athletes in the world and even they routinely injure themselves while honing and performing their craft. As such, I decided to countdown the 15 Most Gruesome Wrestling Injuries.
These are injuries gruesome enough to turn your stomach, true examples of actual carnage in a pro wrestling ring. Consisting of Hall of Famers as well as no-name talent, this list very much shows that injuries can happen to anyone attempting to perform the intricate task of executing wrestling maneuvers. All facts and dates related in this article are taken from WWE.com.
15 Mick Foley's Ear
To start out our list, let’s go with perhaps the most famous gruesome injury in professional wrestling history. While many of us have heard Foley reference his lost ear, and personally remember seeing him tossed from the top of the Cell by the Undertaker, we still cannot recall exactly when he lost his ear. A large reason for this is that he lost it in a fairly nondescript match for WCW. As many of us know, Cactus Jack (Foley’s alter ego at the time) does a signature clothesline where he takes both his opponent and himself over the top rope. During a stunt with Vader, however, Foley developed a plan where he would miss the clothesline and intentionally get his neck wrapped up in the ring ropes, causing him to hang by his neck. The ropes were apparently tighter than Foley intended, and he was required to rip himself out (a la a coyote chewing off his own leg in a trap), accidentally ripping off his own ear.
14 Finn Balor's Shoulder
As a huge Finn Balor fan I was devastated when in 2016 he was forced to relinquish the inaugural WWE Universal Title due to a shoulder injury he suffered the previous night at Summerslam. With that being said, I was further impressed by this superstar and the toughness that he showed following the injury. Balor received the injury when he was thrown back first into the barrier by Seth Rollins, and while some critics like Bret Hart have criticized Rollin’s style as reckless but most of these claims are unfounded. Balor obviously dislocated his shoulder as a result of this move, but as you can see in the photos he was able to pop the shoulder back in himself mid-match and finish the night to win his first ever title on the main WWE roster.
13 Marty Garner Spinal Contusion
When I was compiling this list, I was surprised at the star power of the superstars who were on the receiving end of these gruesome injuries. This entry is obviously the exception to this happenstance as Marty Garner is your quintessential no name WWE wrestler. Garner’s most noteworthy moment, in fact, may be his botched taking of a young Triple H’s pedigree finisher. As the video clearly shows, Garner does an insane dive bomb during the move, causing him to be pedigreed on the very top of his head and leading to severe neck injuries. This of course didn’t stop Garner from trying to sue WWE for injuries received as a result of his mistake. Legal issues aside, this pedigree looks pretty brutal and therefore makes our list as the #13 most gruesome pro wrestling injury.
12 Vince McMahon Tears Both Quads
Probably the funniest entry in our article (I’ll leave it up to debate with the next injury on our list), this gruesome injury was certainly one of the most bizarre. Following the pandemonium at the end of the 2005 Royal Rumble when Batista and John Cena eliminated each other at the same time requiring the match between those two be restarted, Vince McMahon strutted his way down the ring to straighten things out. But he fell coming into the ring and bizarrely seemed unable to get back up. McMahon ended up giving his groundbreaking announcement from his rump, but it was later revealed that while he was entering the ring he had torn both of his quadriceps. Despite the hilarity of this moment, it may not be the most embarrassing gruesome injury to make this list.
Skip to a minute and a half into the video to see the moment for yourself!
11 Goldberg Breaks More Than the Window
If you want to make fun of Vince McMahon for his quadriceps incident at the Royal Rumble, just remember that he was a fairly old man (though one who is admittedly in great shape) at the time. For this entry on our list of gruesome injuries, however, I give you full reign to make fun of Goldberg to your hearts’ content. I think the funniest part of the video above is the fact that the WCW writers had it so Goldberg would break the window with a crowbar. Goldberg, however, thought it would be more badass if he broke it with his bare hand. The problem with this, of course, was that when he pulled his arm out he cut it badly on the fragmented glass. The cut was so bad that Goldberg would have to be rushed to the hospital, thus forever changing the perception of this “badass” moment.
10 Hardcore Holly Gets Dropped On His Head
Due to the sheer size and beastliness of Brock Lesnar, it’s honestly surprising that more superstars haven’t been hurt by this huge star. Aside from the time when he threw a car door (like a Frisbee) thirty feet into the crowd, Lesnar’s most notable flirt with danger (causing danger to others that is) was a botched powerbomb to Bob Holly. Holly was supposed to reverse the move and land on his feet, however, either him or Lesnar made a drastic mistake causing Holly to fall onto the back of his neck and head. Head and neck injuries are featured prominently on this list because of the huge impact they can have on these superstars in regards to not only their careers, but their very lives.
9 Seth Rollins Injures His Leg
One of the saddest facts of this list is that many of these injuries had a hugely adverse impact on the careers of some very talented individuals. Such was the fear when current WWE Champion Seth Rollins injured his leg during a live event in 2015. Prior to this, Rollins was the darling of the Authority and had been the most featured figure on Raw television for much of the past year. However, watching the video above it was hard to believe that Rollins could ever return to become the same superstar he was prior to this incident. It would soon be revealed that Rollins had torn several muscles in his leg, putting his very career in jeopardy. Luckily Rollins returned in 2016 and quickly re-established himself as one of Raw’s top players.
8 Lesnar Botches Shooting Star Press
Before we describe the entry which lands Lesnar’s shooting star press on this list, let’s first take a minute to appreciate someone Lesnar’s size being so athletic that he can pull off a top rope move usually reserved for Cruiserweights and other smaller wrestlers. Most people know about Lesnar’s botched shooting star press against Kurt Angle for the simple fact that the botch occurred on the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania. During the incident, Lesnar failed to revolve a full turn, causing him to land squarely on the top of his head. Lesnar is clearly woozy for the remainder of the match, and no one was surprised afterwards when it was revealed that he suffered a concussion on the botch. Pretty gruesome.
7 Stone Cold's Neck is Broken
If there was ever a move that your parents didn’t want you imitating on your siblings it was certainly the traditional piledriver. It is simply too easy for your victim to slip just a little bit, causing their head to strike the floor, potentially causing immense neck and head injuries. The #7 gruesome injury on our list illustrates this when the botched piledriver by the incredibly talented wrestler Owen Hart led a broken neck being suffered by Stone Cold Steve Austin. WWE has since strayed away from the pile driver, including modifying Undertaker’s version to make it safer, but there is no denying the danger of the move. Especially when you witness a gruesome injury happening to one of the company's top stars.
6 Owen Hart's Untimely Death
I debated even including this entry on our list, but if you’re talking about the inherent dangers of professional wrestling, you cannot fail to include the events that led to the death of Owen Hart. During a stunt where Hart was supposed to be lowered to the ring in a harness, the clip holding Hart released, causing him to fall over seventy feet and land on the top ring rope. This occurred during a pay-per-view event, however, it was not yet live on television so it was only viewed by the live audience. Hart would be worked on by emergency personnel before being transported to the hospital, but to no avail. He would later die from massive internal bleeding, thus ending the life and career of one of WWE’s most talented superstars and rising stars.
5 Sabu Gets Neck Broken
Out of all the ECW Originals who were signed by WWE, Sabu is the one who I’m most surprised didn’t gain the fan attention WWE officials were seeking. A longtime pro wrestling veteran, this man was so determined to do whatever it took to give the fans a great show that he would earn the nickname “suicidal”. He certainly showed this in an ECW match against Chris Benoit. We all know the personal demons of Chris Benoit but you can’t deny he’s a talented in-ring performer (as is Sabu), which makes this incident all the more scary. In what is a clear botch, Sabu lands on his head and neck area causing severe damage. The awkward twist of his neck shown in the above video is enough to earn Sab the #5 spot on our list of gruesome pro wrestling injuries.
4 John Cena Broken Nose
I remember back when John Cena was receiving his initial push from WWE, he was billed as a really tough guy who might not necessarily be the best wrestler, as opposed to the super skilled JBL who always managed to take the easy way out. While Cena has become a much better mat worker in recent years, I think that this persona is still somewhat representative of who Cena actually is. It’s certainly hard to argue his toughness, especially after an incident this past year where his nose was broken mid-match. During a televised match with Seth Rollins, Rollins inadvertently hit Cena with a knee, causing a severe break in his nose. You hardly even noticed watching the match live that anything out of the ordinary had happened with Cena, but I think the above picture shows how gruesome the injury actually was.
3 Joey Mercury's Whole Face is Destroyed
Anyone who has ever been involved in a ladder match would likely tell you that eight men competing in a fatal four-way tag-team match is a recipe for disaster. Disaster would certainly strike at the 2006 Armageddon event when the teams of MNM, the Hardy’s, London and Kendrick, and Dave Taylor and William Regal competed for the tag-team titles. During the infamous spot, Jeff Hardy jumps on one end of a perched ladder (creating a teeter totter effect) causing it to strike both members of MNM as well as his brother Matt. While Matt Hardy and Johnny Nitro would escape unharmed, Joey Mercury would get legitimate struck in the face with the full force of the ladder. Blood would instantly start pouring down Mercury’s face, and he would need reconstructive surgery following the event.
2 Vader's Eye Pops Out of Socket
We saw the man known as Vader at the start of our list, as he was involved in the incident which famously led to the loss of Mick Foley’s ear, however, for the #2 entry Vader was on the receiving end of the gruesome injury. In a match with WWE Hall of Famer Stan Hansen, Vader’s eye was knocked out of socket, creating the gruesome injury you see above. According to Hansen and Vader, Hansen was simply sticking his finger in the eye hole of Vader in an effort to remove the big wrestlers mask. As they were tussling around, however, Hansen’s eye would get sharply thrust into Vader’s eye. As someone with contacts this is one of my worst fears, and Vader more than earns the distinction of being the second worst gruesome WWE injury to make our list.
1 Sid Vicious Breaks His Leg
Not only is this leg injury to Sid Vicious the most gruesome professional wrestling injury of all time, it is the only entry on this list that is almost unwatchable. Honestly the first time watching the clip above I thought that Sid’s boot merely fell off. Ummm no that’s his actual leg hanging there at a ninety degree angle. For some reason both WWE and WCW thought that Sid was a worthy main event talent; whether you agree with that assessment or not, you never want to see this kind of injury happen to anyone. Luckily this injury wasn’t nearly as bad as it looked (how could it be), but the nature of this injury and this horrifying video causes it to be ranked #1 on our list of gruesome pro wrestling injuries.

With the hot sun beating down on your eyes this summer, it’s always good to support your eyes in other ways than just wearing sunglasses. Certain foods in particular have been proven to maintain healthy eyesight and prevent painful eye conditions. Foods rich in Beta Carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc and Omega-3 all aid in increasing circulation and anti-oxidants that can help you see better for years to come.
The following list outlines five powerful foods to eat for healthy eyes as well as a recipe trick to help your kids enjoy eating them.
List of foods that benefits your eyesight
Incredibly rich in Vitamin C, broccoli is also loaded with antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin that help your eyes function properly. Known to fight off age-related eye diseases like macular degeneration and cataracts, Vitamin C strengthens the structure of the eye and protects cells from everyday damage.
When preparing broccoli, avoid over cooking which can cause the vegetable’s antioxidants to lose carcinogens. Eat broccoli raw or only steam for two to three minutes to maintain its powerful punch.
If your kids are having trouble eating broccoli, try adding it to pizza as a delicious and healthy topping. Another idea is to shred the stalks and create coleslaw which can be tasty and fun to make!
Chickpeas contain loads of Vitamin E, another potent antioxidant that helps neutralize oxidation and prevent the buildup of cataracts. In the right amounts, Vitamin E effectively prevents the body against damage from free radicals, the particles inside your body that can damage cells.
Hummus, one of today’s most trends foods, is made of from ground chickpeas. Try making your own hummus at home by blending chickpeas with lemon juice and tahini. Add garlic or roasted red peppers for a delicious dip, spread or party appetizer. If hummus isn’t your thing, add chickpeas to your garden salad as an extra, eyecare enriching topping.
Vitamin E can disrupt blood clotting ability and have other negative side effects if too much is consumed. This is why it’s important to measure the amounts of intake and stick to recommended daily levels – approximately 15 mg per day for adults and children ages 14 and older.
3. Ostrich Meat
Scared by this one? Don’t be! Ostrich meat has often been rated as tastier in burgers than regular beef. Ostriches are blessed with huge levels of zinc which is found in our retina, the rear part of the eye. A mineral that helps promote the immune system, zinc assists the eye and prevents cataracts by ensuring the proper levels of blood flow.
Ostrich can be substituted for red meat in most recipes. Try getting creative with ostrich kabobs. Marinade the ostrich in honey and barbecue sauce for 24 hours before cooking. Then place the kabob on a stick with bell peppers, grilled tomato and other healthy veggies to help your eyes even more!
Most people don’t come close to consuming the recommended levels of Zinc. However, like Vitamin E, consult your doctor to understand exactly how much you should be eating. Excessive levels of zinc can suppress the immune system.
4. Omega-3 Fortified Eggs
Omega-3 has been proven to benefit the eye and several ways including help proper drainage, reduce the risk of eye pressure and decrease the risk of dry eyes. In recent tests, Omega-3 has also been found to impede the presence of toxic molecules in the eyes that cause vision loss.
Traditionally found in cold water fish, the healthy fatty acids can also be found in eggs. To reap the benefits of Omega-3, be sure to include the yoke in any of your recipes. Try using the yoke in vanilla pudding or French Toast for a healthy, tasty treat.
If you any chance are allergic to eggs and you don’t like fish, stock up on omega-3 supplements which can be found at most health and food stores. Most supplements are available in both capsule and liquid form.
The godfather of foods to benefit your eyesight, carrots are certainly the most well-known. Frankly, they deserve to be! Carrots are jam packed with beta-carotene which turns into Vitamin A when entering the body. Vitamin A in turn protects the cornea (surface of the eye), prevents dry eyes and reduces the risk of eye infections. Besides carrots, most orange vegetables like sweet potatoes and pumpkins are rich in BetaCarotene as well.
Try conquering your kids fear of carrots with tasty creamy dips like onion dip and ranch. If raw carrots with a dip or in a salad aren’t your favorite, cook the carrots for a different texture and taste. Glaze the carrots with honey and sugar to create healthy fries.
Unlike other foods known for their Vitamin A, Beta Carotene is water-soluble and easy to digest. Therefore, load up on carrots and like the doctor recommended – a carrot a day, keeps the doctor away!
When consumed properly, certain foods can be used to benefit your eye sight and prevent eye conditions that become more likely as you grow old. Cataracts, macular degeneration and other diseases can be countered with diets rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin E. As kids, a healthy eye foundation can be supported with foods high in Beat Carotene and Zinc. Always try to eat a diet that includes a variety of vitamins and minerals that will aid your vision and your entire immune system
Don’t forget, your meals can still be tasty and healthy! Be creative with the health foods you don’t like the taste of. Try adding them as toppings to your favorite foods or mask the taste and texture with toppings and other ingredients. Best of all, include fruits and vegetables in desserts when possible. Blend them into shakes and smoothies to deliver the health benefits along with an excellent taste
Feel free to add your own recipes and consumption tips so we can all benefit from the health impact of eye-friendly foods.

Vote for United Women's 2022/23 Player of the Year
Manchester United Women's enthralling 2022/23 campaign is still to be concluded, but as the business end of the season continues to play out, you can now vote for who you think should win the Reds' Player of the Year award.
This term's accolade is the fifth edition of the honour, which will go to the member of Marc Skinner's squad who accumulates the majority of your votes, via the official poll on ManUtd.com and in the United App.
Ella Toone was last year's winner, and there are 24 Reds in contention this time around, with the criteria for each shortlisted player to be currently at United and having made at least one senior appearance this season.
The Reds have enjoyed quite the campaign to date, topping the Women's Super League at the time of writing, having accumulated a record top-flight points tally.
With two games still to play - at home to Manchester City and away to Liverpool - United are on the hunt for a first-ever WSL title, although destiny is very much in Chelsea's hands, with the Blues a point behind us and with a fixture more left on their schedule.
It was the Londoners who were triumphant by a 1-0 scoreline in last Sunday's FA Cup final - our women's team's first ever appearance in a major final - played in front of a record-breaking crowd at Wembley Stadium.
Skinner's side also enjoyed high-scoring wins over Everton and Sheffield United in the Continental League Cup group stage, although just missed out on qualification for the knockout stages of that competition, finishing a point behind table-toppers Aston Villa.
Off the back of an impressive term for the team, there are set to be several names in the conversation for the prize.
Alessia Russo and Leah Galton - who have won our previous three Player of the Month awards between them - currently share top spot in our goalscoring charts for the season, netting 12 each across all competitions.
Full-back Ona Batlle also has to be among the favourites, following an eye-catching campaign that sees her most notably sit at the head of our assist chart with 15 registered in 2022/23.
Mary Earps has brought her fine form from last summer's European Championships back to her club and has more WSL clean sheets than any other goalkeeper this season, while new signings Maya Le Tissier, Nikita Parris and Rachel Williams are also among our most recent additions to have played their part across a progressive season.
Have your say on United Women's Player of the Year via the poll above.
The winner will be announced at our awards night on Monday 29 May, two days after the team's season-closing fixture at Liverpool, so be sure to keep an eye out across our official channels.
Thank you for taking part, and good luck to all of our players!

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s opposition Labour Party held a 2 percentage point lead over Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservatives in a Panelbase opinion poll published a day before Thursday’s national election.
The survey put Labour on 33 percent and the Conservatives on 31 percent. The anti-European Union UK Independence Party was on 16 percent and the centrist Liberal Democrats on 8 percent.
Two other polls published on the eve of the tightly fought contest put the Conservatives in the lead by one point, and one had the two biggest parties tied.

Moda Midstream Eyes Second TX VLCC Berth
Moda Midstream LLC is considering building a second berth at its Ingleside, Texas, crude export terminal to accommodate booming shale oil production on the Gulf Coast, the company's chief executive said on Thursday.The expansion to the terminal that loads oil tankers will come as three major pipelines open in the second half of 2019, CEO Bo McCall said in an interview. Moda is also increasing the facility's crude storage capacity to 10 million barrels from 2 million."When these new pipelines come online…
Moda Midstream Loads First Supertanker at South Texas Terminal
Moda Midstream LLC, owner of a U.S. Gulf Coast crude export terminal, on Thursday began partially loading the first supertanker at its Ingleside, Texas, facility, the company said.The Houston-based operator, which purchased the facility from Occidental Petroleum Corp. in August, recently installed equipment capable of loading up to 80,000 barrels of crude oil per hour onto Very Large Crude Carriers, or VLCCs, which carry up to 2 million barrels.At a depth of 47 feet, the waterway near the terminal is deep enough to allow the company to load only 1.2 million barrels onto supertankers.
U.S. Pipeline Operators Reap Hefty Profits from Bottlenecks in Texas
Some of the biggest pipeline operators in the United States have supercharged earnings this year by buying deeply discounted shale in West Texas oilfields and selling it at a premium at Gulf Coast ports.These companies are taking advantage of extraordinary markdowns in West Texas where surging production and a lack of pipeline space sent the regional price for oil in late August $23 per barrel below the coastal price in Houston.Record profits illustrate the divide between the haves - those with guaranteed pipeline space - and the have nots, producers that must sell oil at the wellhead.
Dallas Company Secures Permits to Expand Crude Export Hub at Texas Port
Jupiter MLP LLC, a Dallas-based logistics company, has secured permits to expand a crude export dock at the Port of Brownsville in Texas, the latest in a series of moves made by U.S. companies to tap into booming overseas shipments.The expanded dock space will be able to accommodate Suezmax-size vessels, the company said in a statement Thursday.Privately-held Jupiter has also begun the permitting process to build an offshore supertanker loading facility six miles (9.6 km) off the coast of Texas.The facility will be connected to the expanded dock…
Ecuador Pays $112 mln Award to Chevron
Ecuador has paid $112 million to energy company Chevron Corp over a four-decade-old contract dispute, even though it remains in disagreement, the head of the central bank has said. A Hague arbitration court awarded the U.S. company $96 million in 2011 in a dispute stemming from a 1973 deal that called for Texaco, later acquired by Chevron, to develop fields in exchange for selling oil to Ecuador at below-market rates. Various appeals by Ecuador against the ruling failed. "We have today paid around $112 million," the central bank head Diego Martinez told a local radio station late on Friday.

I don’t only make cake and cookies.
Sure, I mostly make those, but I also cook actual food (depending on if the SO’s home or not, I might even cook as many as three times in a week!), and while I love my sweet stuff, I also have half an eye for healthy food the rest of the time. This is less a “because I should”, and more because lots of stir-fries and interesting salads give me better energy and more happies than cheese on toast or marmite on toast or … toast, which are my general not-cooking go-toes (to’s? Tos? Toes seems right, yet not).
However, I’ve recently gone off breakfast.
I know, I don’t know how that works either, as breakfast (to me, at least) is more a habit than a meal. I always have bananas about the place, so while they’re green I have them with muesli. As soon as they display the slightest hint of ripeness (I can’t stand ripe bananas), they become smoothies or are cooked into porridge. Breakfast, sorted.
But a few weeks ago, I just went off the whole thing. I couldn’t face one more bowl of banana-based goodness, or even a smoothie, which always feels like a treat. I tried toast, but that just makes it seem like I’m having an early lunch, and then my whole meal set-up gets a bit confused. Although, since I discovered the weird joys of sourdough, it is really nice. Just not every day.
I suppose I could have eggs, but I have a strange relationship with eggs. I like having them hard-boiled on salad, but otherwise I don’t eat them much. Not that I don’t like them, exactly, just that the idea never really comes up, except about once every few months, when I really want them and nothing else will do. I have a similar relationship to ice cream, minus the salad bit.
I thought about making muesli bars/flapjacks/granola bars/whatever those things are called, but most recipes seem to have a lot of sugar in them, which I’d rather have in cake form. And I know from experience that the ones that don’t can be pretty uninteresting. And then I started wondering about bliss balls.
For those that haven’t tried them, these are tasty little treats packed with dried fruit and nuts. They tend to rely on the dried fruit to hold everything together, so not much extra sugar, but a) dried fruit is still really sugary (you get the extra fibre with it, but it’s still sugar), and b) they’re really expensive to make once you’ve got enough nuts and fruit in there. Plus, I like my oats. I even put them in smoothies.
But then I remembered that the SO had left a box of Weetbix (or Weetabix, if you’re from the UK and insist on an extra syllable there for some reason) in the cupboard. He tends to buy them about every six months, has one bowl, then remembers why they’re awful (either entirely dry, or entirely soggy, and any leftovers set so hard in the bowl that you could lay foundations with them). Anyhow, as a kid in NZ, Weetbix (no extraneous a there) was, for some perverse reason, what we all seemed to eat, and also the basis for some half-remembered chocolate biscuit-y thing that I went in search of.
I didn’t find it, but I did find this recipe for a rather healthier version, which I’ve tweaked a bit to make it into some surprisingly tasty balls that, with a generous serving of fruit on the side, will do me until I remember how to eat breakfast again. They’re not super-healthy, but they’re not bad, and definitely better than half the breakfast cereals out there. Just try and leave them for a few days, at which point the fruit flavour starts to overtake the Weetbix flavour and makes them much nicer.
Also, I wasn’t going to roll them in icing sugar, but after taking the first lot of photos I decided I should. They are … not photogenic in their natural state …
All that said – here they are. Best use of Weetbix ever.
- 4 Weetbix/Weetabix biscuits
- 1 cup/190g-ish of dried fruit, soaked in hot water for 20 minutes or so (I added coffee) and drained
- 1/2 cup/75g-ish mixed nuts (great opportunity to use up all the out-of-date nuts I seem to accumulate)
- 1/2 cup/50g-ish dessicated coconut
- 4 tbsp/30g cocoa
- 1 tsp vanilla
- generous pinch of salt
- spices to taste – I went with some nutmeg and cinnamon, but whatever takes your fancy
Chuck everything in a food processor and let it do its thing until the whole lot starts to clump together. If, after a few minutes, it’s not coming together, add a few splashes of the liquid from soaking the fruit.
Once it’s done, you should be able to squeeze a scoop into a ball that holds together easily. If it’s too wet, add some more coconut or Weetbix. Too dry, add a splash more liquid. If you want them to be a little sweeter, add honey or any syrupy sweetener (such as agave or golden syrup) to the mix.
Roll into balls to suit your preference (I did mine into about a heaped tablespoon, as that seemed good for snacking on), then you can either roll them in extra coconut or chopped nuts to make them pretty, or just leave as is. If taking photos, I definitely recommend the former.
Fridge until ready to eat – as mentioned above, the longer you leave them, the more the other flavours overtake the Weetbix. Which, in my book, is a good thing.
Now over to you, lovely people – what’s your breakfast go-to? Or are you a no-breakfast person? Let me know below!


Retention suture system
A retention system for safeguarding a surgical incision to prevent rupturing of the wound during healing wherein at least one pair of elongated retaining bars of similar design and constructuion are positioned on either side of the incision. The bars are cojoined by means of retension sutures embedded beneath the skin which pass transversely across the wound. Each bar consists of a relatively rigid top plate and a complimentary lower pad that is secured to the bottom surface of the plate and which is adapted to conform to the contour of the body. One or more pair of suture holes are spaced along the longitudinal axis of each bar with the spacing between the holes being substantially equal to the width of the bar at the contact surface whereby a relatively uniform holding pressure is evenly distributed over the entire contact region when the retention sutures are tied off.
This invention relates to a surgical retention system and, in particular, to apparatus for providing a uniform, evenly distributed, ligation to an incision to prevent the closure sutures from breaking and the wound from rupturing.
The most pertinent prior art known to the applicant at the time of filing this application can be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,648,705 to Lary; 3,695,271 to Chodrow; 3,789,851 to LaVeen.
Relatively heavy retention sutures have been used for some time to reinforce lighter closure sutures located at the wound face and thus safeguard the incision against possible disruption as it heals. In many applications, the retention loop is passed laterally over the incision and anchored tautly below the skin on either side thereof. The sutures, in this arrangement, tend to elongate and erode into the skin at the wound face as well as causing skin necrosis and excessive scarring.
In an effort to overcome some of the noted difficulties, the retention sutures are sometimes passed over gauze pads or through rubber tubes to prevent them from being drawn directly into contact with the wound. Similarly, plastic bridges, such as those disclosed in some of the previously noted patents, have been devised which span the incision and provide a platform against which the retention sutures can act. All these prior art devices, however, require that the retention suture pass back and forth over the wound and thus prevent free access to the wound area which makes dressing or treating of the wound difficult. Furthermore, most of the bridges presently available are relatively unstable and can be easily toppled when bumped or if subjected to excessive body movement causing the entire system to fail.
Simple buttons have been used with some effectiveness as anchor points in some retention systems. The buttons are aligned on either side of the incision and suture loops passed between the buttons. Typically, two buttons on either side of the incision are joined together by means of a single loop. The two buttons are, in practice, drawn tightly against the skin when the ends of the suture loop are tied off. It has been found that retention forces in this type of system can become localized in and around the concentrated button hole region and produce excessive skin irritation and damage. The buttons, as well as many other prior art retention devices, also prevent natural perspiration from occurring thereby causing further skin irritation problems.
It is an object of the present invention to improve surgical retention systems for use in closing an incision.
A further object of the present invention is to promote healing of a surgically induced incision and thus promote greater use of this system.
Yet another object of the present invention is to minimize the extent of skin damage and irritation produced by a retention suture.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a retention suture system which affords complete freedom of access to the retained incision.
Another object of the present invention is to distribute the holding forces of an incision retention system uniformly over a wide area to avoid the production of high localized skin pressures.
A further object of the invention is to provide a retention system employing one or more pairs of retaining bars which will allow for perspiration in the skin contact region.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a retention suture system that is easy to implant and remove.
These and other objects of the present invention are attained by means of a retention system for maintaining closure of a surgical incision and includes at least one pair of elongated retaining bars that are of similar design and construction. Each bar consists of a relatively rigid upper plate having a complimentary sponge-like pad affixed to its bottom surface that is adapted to conform to the contour of the body. One or more pairs of suture holes are located along the longitudinal axis of the bar with the spacing between holes being substantially equal to the width of the pad at the skin contact surface. The bars are cojoined by means of retention suture loops that are embedded beneath the skin and which extend below the surface of the skin between corresponding holes in each of the bars.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
For a better understanding of these and other objects of the present invention reference is had to the following detailed description of the invention which is to be read in conjunction with the following drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a retention system embodying the teachings of the present invention wherein a pair of retaining bars are situated on either side of a surgically induced incision;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view showing one of the retaining bars used in the present system;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged partial section taken along lines 3--3 in FIG. 2 further illustrating the construction of the retaining bar; and
FIG. 4 is an enlarged partial front elevation in section showing the present retention system and further illustrating the manner in which suture loops are used to cojoin the bar pairs used in the system.DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 and 4, there is shown a retention system, generally referenced 10, embodying the teachings of the present invention which is adapted for use in retaining a surgically induced wound 11 against disruption, rupture or the like as the wound is healing. The retention system contains at least one pair of elongated retaining bars 12--12 that are of similar design and construction. In the practice of the invention, the bars are strategically positioned in parallel alignment against the skin of the patient on either side of the incision. Sufficient lateral spacing is provided between the bars to allow for free and easy access to the wound as well as the closure suture loops 15 (FIG. 1) embedded in the skin at the face of the incision. As will be explained in further detail below, the bars are cojoined by means of retention suture loops 17 using conventional suturing techniques so that the sutures and the bars coact to deliver an evenly distributed retaining force for reinforcing the closure sutures 15.
With further reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, each retaining bar consists of a relatively rigid upper plate 20 and a soft, pliable lower pad 21 that is secured to the bottom surface of the plate by any suitable means. The upper plate, which is generally rectangular in form, is preferably fabricated from a plastic material which possesses sufficient resiliency to allow the plate to bend without breaking when subjected to normal body movement and pressure. The plate, however, is rigid enough to provide a secure anchor for one or more retention suture loops and serves to evenly distribute the suture forces over a relatively wide area.
The lower pad is formed of a sponge-like porous or semi-porous material that is capable of absorbing moisture. Accordingly, the pad is able to absorb perspiration from the skin while, at the same time, permitting ambient air to pass through the material. Perspiration absorbed by the pad is thus evaporated into the air and ultimately carried out of the system by means of a natural flow mechanism. In practice, the pad can be fabricated from any one of many known natural or synthetic materials having an open celled configuration.
As best illustrated in FIG. 3, a chamfer 27 is formed about the side edges of the bar whereby relatively gently sloped corners are presented to the skin of the patient. When the retention sutures are tied in assembly, the flat bottom surface 23 of the bar is drawn into conforming contact against the body. The chamfer will accommodate the deformed padding and prevent the displaced material from being gathered into tightly compressed ridges along the pad contact edges which could cause skin irritation and block the free flow of air through the material.
A series of retention suture holes 30 pass downward through the bars with the holes being centered along the bars' longitudinal axis 31. The holes are divided into pairs with each bar containing one or more hole pairs depending upon its length. Measurements of a relatively large number of adults has shown that a pair of six inch retaining bars, similar to the bars shown in the drawings, may be conveniently employed to retain a midline incision extending between the xiphoid and umbilical regions or alternatively between the umbilical and the pubic regions. Similarly, more than one pair of retaining bars of the same or of different lengths can be similarly utilized to retain a single incision. The multiple bar pair arrangement is particularly well suited where the incision passes through the umbilical region or any other bending zone. Spacing can be provided between the adjacent ends of the coaligned bars to permit relatively complete freedom of body movement within the bend region.
In the case of a six inch bar as shown, three separate pairs of suture holes are employed with the holes being equally spaced along the length of the bar. The spacing between each of the holes in a hole pair, as well as the spacing between adjacent holes in adjoining pairs, is maintained at a center distance D that is about equal to the width of the bar W as measured at the skin to pad contact surface. The centers of the two end holes contained in the bar are both located about a distance that is one-half the distance D from the two end surfaces of the bar. For explanatory purposes, the first hole pair in the series will be referred to as those holes lying upon centers A and A', the second as those holes lying upon centers B and B' and the third as those holes lying upon centers C and C'.
The retaining bars are cojoined by passing retention sutures 17 between corresponding holes in each hole pair using conventional suturing techniques. The first suture in the series is initially inserted downwardly through one of the end holes found at A in the left-hand bar as viewed in FIGS. 1 and 4. The suture is embedded below the skin 40 and passed through the tissue 41 across the incision between the fascia 42 and the peritoneum 43. The suture is brought out of the skin below the corresponding hole in the right-hand bar. The suture is brought out of the second A centered hole in the right-hand bar and inserted into the next A' centered hole in the set before being crossed back under the skin and brought out of the corresponding A' in the opposite bar. A straight run of suture is thus established along the axis of the right-hand bar which bears upon the top of the bar. The two free ends of the suture are now in a condition to be tied off thus completing one section of the retention system.
As shown in FIG. 1, the above noted procedure is repeated for the B--B' and C--C' centered hole pairs whereby three individual retention suture loops of standard length are used to tie off each of the hole pair sections. The free ends of the sutures are tied along the back of the bars as shown in FIG. 1 so that at least one straight run of suture acts against each bar along its longitudinal axis. This arrangement thus further helps to more evenly distribute the forces throughout the system. In fact, the wound can, in certain cases, be left open for draining or the like when the present system is employed because of its unique ability to uniformly distributed the holding forces.
A laterally extended notch, which is centered upon the longitudinal axis of each bar, is centered midway between each of the holes in any given pair. The notch is formed to a depth to allow the blade of a scissor to be inserted beneath the parallel run of suture passing longitudinally between the two holes in the pair. As can be seen, the suture can thus be easily severed for removal. The notches are referenced 35.
Although a six inch retaining bar is described with reference to the present invention, the invention is not necessarily limited to this particular detail and this application is intended to cover bars of any size and shape as may come within the scope of the following claims.
1. A retaining bar for use in a retention system for safeguarding a surgical incision that includes
- an elongated plate formed of a relatively rigid material that is capable of flexing without breaking,

- said bars each containing a series of hole pairs spaced apart along the axis of the bar at a distance that is substantially equal to the width of the bar and also having laterally extended notches positioned between each of the holes in a hole pair, said notches being recessed into the top surface of the bar so as to span the axis thereof, and
- suture means for joining the bars that includes a suture being arranged to pass beneath the skin between corresponding holes of adjacent hole pairs contained in each of the bars with the suture extending axially along the top surface of the bar between each hole in a hole pair whereby a substantial uniform holding pressure is applied to the skin across the entire area of the bar when the sutures are tied off.
4. The retention system of claim 3 wherein the plate of each bar further includes a rounded lower edge extending about the entire periphery thereof to prevent damaging the skin when the sutures are tied off.
5. The retention system of claim 4 wherein the ends of each bar are semicircular in form.

Eight Books to Add to Your Trauma-Informed Library
As violence prevention educators, we know how important it is to understand trauma.
Here are eight books, recommended by members of an international community of violence prevention educators, to help us become more trauma-informed.
1. “What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing,” by Dr. Bruce Perry and Oprah Winfrey
In this collaborative work, Dr. Bruce Perry and Oprah Winfrey reframe age-old views on trauma by advocating for the question “What happened to you?” rather than “What’s wrong with you?”
The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma” by Bessel van der Kolk, M.D.
“Trauma victims cannot recover until they become familiar with and befriend the sensations in their bodies ... In order to change, people need to become aware of their sensations and the way that their bodies interact with the world around them. Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past.”
Dr. Bessel von der Kolk explores how trauma reshapes the body and the brain, and proposes new treatments that provide hope for recovery.
3. “Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence--From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror,” by Judith Lewis Herman
Judith Lewis Herman delves into the similarities between psychological trauma, which can come from personal experience such as child abuse, and public experience such as war, and how they can help in understanding the process of healing.
4. “How to Do the Work: Recognize Your Patterns, Heal from Your Past, and Create Your Self,” by Dr. Nicole LePera
“I discovered that our genes are not destiny and that in order to change, we have to become consciously aware of our habits and thought patterns, which have been shaped by the people we care for most.”
Trauma in childhood can lead to destructive behaviors and cause high stress and unhappiness. Dr. Nicole empowers survivors with the tools needed for positive change.
5. “Widen the Window: Training Your Brain and Body to Thrive During Stress and Recover from Trauma” by Dr. Elizabeth Stanley, PhD
Through powerful stories of resilience, veteran and researcher Elizabeth Stanley explains how the brain responds to stress and trauma, and provides strategies to help survivors in their healing process.
6. “Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others,” by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky and Connie Burk
Laura van Dernoot Lipsky and Connie Burk describe the difficult challenges that caregivers face, and suggest practices that can help provide energy and renewal.
7. “Woman Who Glows in the Dark: A Curandera Reveals Traditional Aztec Secrets of Physical and Spiritual Health,” by Elena Avila, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Joy Parker
This autobiographical account of a psychiatric nurse turned “curandera” describes the work of Elena Avila and illustrates the many ways folk medicine can provide healing.
8. “No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model,” by Richard Swartz
“A part is not just a temporary emotional state or habitual thought pattern. Instead, it is a discrete and autonomous mental system that has an idiosyncratic range of emotion, style of expression, set of abilities, desires, and view of the world. In other words, it is as if we each contain a society of people, each of whom is at a different age and has different interests, talents, and temperaments.”
We are thought to have a single identity, but according to Richard Swartz, our identity is composed of sub-minds or parts. Loving our parts can help heal the world.

I just used up my one good idea for the year. Its all downhill from here! Lol. Hope it works out.
Nice deal they are usually over 100. I think the same company makes most just branded differently. Mine looks the same but not frigidaire.
@Groomporter Bulldog sells a jack just like the one you have but with a removable wheel/baseplate.
Thanks! I'll probably go that direction if modifying the current one doesn't work out
Picked the Retro up from the shop, after having the waste valves replaced. Now the driveway looks right, it looked empty without the trailer.
We had our aliner in down position because of wind, we put it back up wiped off the sloppy snow, and wanted to stay inside of it, looks so good.
Looks like an aliner now!
we reworked two of our blackout-insulating window covers, and added two more velcro points to one of them (we use Velcro disks screwed to the thin ply inside surfaces on our roof and walls)
I ordered a new battery from Goal Zero for the Yeti 150 storage battery. I realized it was flatter than usual after being unplugged for 2-3 weeks. We're trying to remember just how long we've had it, I think we bought it when we still had the popup, or one of the first seasons with the travel trailer, which we've had for 7 years. Seems like it's had a good run, and I'd hate to get out on the first trip and find it had been time to replace it.
We went camping at the Lake for a week. Lots of good weather and found a nice camping spot at the lakeshore. We used 3 sets of Tri-Lynx levelers and a set of wheel stop-n-chocks. It was almost 1 foot unleveled. Worked well leveling KODI. Also, we used the Camco aluminum adjustable step since KODI’s steps were higher than usual due to the 1 foot height added at the lakeshore due to the incline. Glad we purchased two additional sets of Tri-Lynx levelers, Wheel Stop & chock and Camco step since our last trip at the lake. The Camco step works better than plastic models. It’s solidly built and won’t break easily like plastic models.
Installed the sportrack roof rack on the pup. As well as the swagman bike racks. Added and extra screw on each bracket, and made sure to use Butyl tape at all screw holes. Seems to be very strong. I also welded the cross bars with some angle iron at the center joints to help with sagging since it is maxed out on the width.
Finally got my Renogy Li SmartBattery firmware upgrade installed (by actually following the instructions!).
I looked up our purchases on REI, and found that we'd purchased the Yeti 150 storage battery in April, which means we got 6 full seasons out of the original battery in it. Not bad for something we've used pretty heavily. We didn't maintain its predecessor (a previous model) well and that lasted a much shorter time, so I'm happy with this.
Took a couple of things out to the trailer, and remembered to open the fridge doors so it stays aired out while turned off.
After the a snowstorm with 40 mph gusts, I opened the door to have a look. As expected, I found the wind had driven about an inch of snow in at the door corners.

Raider nation honors Davis
TRIBUTE: Fans, former players and coaches gather for owner
Every facet of the silver and black came together one last time to honor Raider Nation's late king, Al Davis.
Fans decked out in spikes, war paint and bandanas. Former players and coaches gathered in suits and sweats. Rappers Ice Cube and MC Hammer stood along the sideline in traditional Raiders garb.
All stood united at the Oakland Coliseum again in a 24-17 win over the Cleveland Browns to pay tribute to the owner with a simple two-letter message supplanted on the Raiders shield, spreading across helmets, shirts, posters, pins and programs: "AL."
"We're just delighted at the way everybody has come together to honor him. Whether to say he was a great man or wasn't a great man, the turnout says it all," Davis' older brother, Jerry, told The Associated Press. "While he might not have always looked it, Al's mind was sharp right until the end."
The celebrations of Davis' life were all over.
The most poignant moment came during a halftime ceremony with dozens of former players standing in a circle around the Raiders emblem at midfield. Super Bowl-winning coach John Madden then lit a caldron on the plaza level in the corner of the stadium with the public address announcer saying the fire will "burn forever" for fans to remember Davis.
"I know he's looking down saying, 'Just win, baby,'" Raiders coach Hue Jackson said, echoing the owner's longtime motto. "That's what we did."
A video presentation of Davis' life began playing 20 minutes before kickoff and continued throughout the game against the Browns, the first at home since Davis died Oct. 8 of an undisclosed illness. A moment of silence was held before former Raiders offensive lineman Henry Lawrence sang the national anthem.
Coaches, players and team employees wore T-shirts with "AL" inside the Raiders shield. Fans came with signs that read "R.I.P. AL" and "King AL." Most simply carried handmade posters and ironed out shirts with the phrase, "Just Win, Baby."
"It's like losing a family member," said a fan with 6-inch spikes attached to his pads who wanted only to be identified by the name "Violator," which was taped to the back of his black No. 57 jersey.
Davis turned the Raiders into one of the league's premier franchises with a "Commitment To Excellence." The franchise won Super Bowls after the 1976, 1980 and 1983 seasons -- the last one in Los Angeles, where the franchise moved in 1982 after protracted court fights before returning to the Bay Area in 1995.
Past and present Raiders took flights from all over the country to stand along the sidelines in respect.
Jim Plunkett, Jim Otto, Ted Hendricks, George Atkinson, Greg Biekert, Morris Bradshaw, Cliff Branch and Bill Romanowski were among those at the game. Madden watched from Davis' suite.
They told stories and recounted memories of the renegade owner who became one of the most important figures in pro football history, from his role in the development of the AFL, the merger with the NFL and the success he built on the field with the Raiders.
"A lot of people knew him as an antagonist. But if you were a Raider, you were a Raider for life," said Plunkett, a championship quarterback who played for the Raiders from 1978-86. "Al was unquestionably loyal."
He never backed down, either.
That was most evident during the 1980s when he went to court -- and won -- for the right to move his team from Oakland to Los Angeles. Even after he moved the Raiders back to Oakland, he sued for $1.2 billion to establish that he still owned the rights to the L.A. market.

“Jacinda Ardern continues to oversee the greatest transfer of wealth from poor to rich in New Zealand’s history”, says ACT Deputy Leader and Housing spokesperson Brooke van Velden....
“Jacinda Ardern continues to oversee the greatest transfer of wealth from poor to rich in New Zealand’s history”, says ACT Deputy Leader and Housing spokesperson Brooke van Velden.
“The latest REINZ Monthly Property Report shows the median house price rose by 13.5 per cent from $780,000 in February 2021 to $885,000 in February 2022. Six regions hit record median house prices.
“New Zealand risks becoming a neo-feudal society, with a property-owning class on one hand and house-nots on the other.
“Labour was elected to fix housing because National failed. Now Labour has failed as well. The real problem is not just that young New Zealanders cannot afford homes, the whole Kiwi dream no longer works.
“Being a property-owning democracy was an essential part of the New Zealand story. People have come here for generations so that they could become property owners.
“It’s ACT’s role to say when things aren't right, to have honest conversations. We told the Government that KiwiBuild, the foreign buyer ban and removing interest deductibility wouldn’t work. We said in 2016 that National's bright-line test would not work. We were right.
“ACT has put forward a package that would solve the underlying problem in housing: the shortage of urban land. We need new ways to fund and build infrastructure, new coordination between central and local government, new rules for consenting land, and new ways of accessing building materials.
“This is the scale of response necessary for the scale of the problem. New Zealanders have been let down by enough gimmicks, like KiwiBuild that built 1,000 houses in three years. We need deep, structural reform that will transform the supply of housing for all New Zealand.
“We’ve proposed a GST-sharing scheme, removing barriers to finance for build-to-rent schemes, and introducing a Public-Private Partnership agency.
“Every Government says it’ll fix housing. None have, but this Government is the worst. Faced with one of the biggest crises in a generation, the Government’s proposed changes to the RMA risk creating a regulatory nightmare rather than being a silver bullet for development. The proposal focusses on central planning and its first priority is to honour the Treaty. That won’t get things built.
“The Government should be asking ‘how do we create an environment for investment and development?’ Instead, this Government has targeted Mum and Dad landlords and investors with new housing taxes. By failing to ask the right question, it has failed to deliver on the very thing New Zealand needs it to – real change so New Zealanders can build more homes.
“The fact is we’re simply not building enough. ACT is the only party that offers real solutions to the housing crisis.”

The TCRFC coordinated closely with the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) to apply for a FEMA Cooperation Technical Partner (CTP) grant. Halff utilized the results of the Multi-Year Floodplain Mapping Plan and Map Needs Assessment (MNA) to develop a Mapping Activity Statement (MAS) as the basis of the CTP grant. The San Bernard Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) includes the streams within the 8-digit HUC that ranked the highest in the MNA, combined with communities that had available leverage, and was also ranked high on the FEMA Coordinated Needs Management Strategy (CNMS) prioritization. Therefore, a FEMA CTP Grant was awarded to TWDB/TCRFC for the San Bernard HUC. This study is referred to as the TCRFC Year One MAS (YR 1 MAS).
In September 2011, FEMA officially awarded TWDB and TCRFC $700,000 in grant funding for the YR 1 MAS. On December 9, 2011, the TCRFC board contracted Halff Associates to execute the tasks of the YR 1 MAS. The project will be implemented in multiple phases with the initial task to Perform Project Discovery and associated Project Outreach activities. The goal of the YR 1 MAS is to utilize planning information previously developed by the TCRFC communities to document the Discovery Process, prepare floodplain mapping and eventually update DFIRM maps for areas within the San Bernard watershed.
Discovery is the first phase of the Mapping Activity Statement. The Discovery task is the “discovery” of flood hazards and associated flood risk throughout the watershed. The Goal of Discovery is to work closely with communities to better understand local flood risk, mitigation efforts, and other topics in order to spark watershed-wide discussions about increasing resilience to flooding. The Discovery process helps communities identify areas at risk for flooding and solutions for reducing that risk. During Discovery, we seek input from stakeholders within the basin to obtain information about local flood risk, flood hazards, mitigation plans, mitigation activities, flooding history, development plans, and floodplain management activities. All this information is used to determine which areas of the watershed require mapping, risk assessment, or mitigation planning assistance.
Discovery Data Collection
Researched data does not capture the entire watershed picture. We rely on information and data provided by the communities.
Requested Data from Communities:
- Areas of nuisance flooding
- Historical local flooding locations, mitigation activities and grant projects (ongoing or planned)
- Comprehensive plans
- Local development and floodplain management plans
- Stormwater management activities
- Community ordinances
- Infrastructure information, especially for levees and new bridges, dams, culverts and road improvements
- Flood study needs
- Regional watershed plans
- Details of the current flood risk communication process
Why is this Important?
Because flood hazards change over time, this effort provides a great opportunity to take a comprehensive look at the components and activities that contribute to your community’s and your watershed’s flood risk. In addition to providing another perspective, participating in this process will increase your understanding of your flood risk and help you identify proactive steps you can take to protect your community from losses to life and property that often accompany flooding.
The Discovery Meeting – June 22, 2012
Once communities provide local flood risk and other data, a Discovery meeting will be held to display the findings and communicate where the identified areas of risk occur. The Discovery Meeting is held to review and validate the gathered flood risk data; discuss the community’s flooding history, development plans, flood mapping needs, and flood risk concerns; and to discuss the vision for the watershed’s future, as well as the importance of mitigation planning and community outreach. The meeting was a great success. There were 28 attendees representing 12 communities or organizations.

[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Winneconne 10-20-1994 as § 12.04 of the 1994 Code. Amendments noted where applicable.]
No person shall hereafter in the Town keep, conduct or maintain any building, structure, yard or place for keeping, storing or piling, in commercial quantities, whether temporarily, irregularly or continually, or for the buying or selling of any old, used or secondhand material of any kind, including cloth, rags, clothing, paper, rubbish, bottles, rubber, iron, brass, copper or other metal, furniture, used motor vehicles or the parts thereof or other articles, which from its worn condition renders it practically useless for the purpose for which it was made and which is commonly classed as junk, whether with a fixed place of business or as an itinerant peddler, without first having obtained and paid for a license as hereinafter provided. One carrying on the aforesaid business shall be referred to herein as "junk dealer."
Every applicant for a license to engage in the business of junk dealer shall file with the Building Inspector a written application upon a form prepared and provided by the Town and signed by the applicant. Such application shall state:
The name and residence of the applicant, if an individual, partnership or firm, or the names of the principal officers and their residence, if the applicant is an association or corporation.
The detailed nature of the business to be conducted and the kinds of material to be collected, bought, sold or otherwise handled.
The premises where such business is to be located or carried on.
Each application shall contain an agreement that the applicant accepts the license, if granted, upon the condition that it may be suspended for cause at any time by the Town Board.
The Building Inspector shall report such application to the Town Board, which shall inspect or cause to be inspected such premises to determine whether it complies with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. Such premises and all structures thereon shall be so situated and constructed that the business of junk dealer may be carried on in a sanitary manner, shall contain no fire hazards and shall be arranged so that there can be a thorough inspection at any time by proper authorities.
Each of the premises upon which the business of junk dealer is to be carried on shall be enclosed by a solid, painted fence or other structure not less than seven feet in height and constructed so that no dust or other material may pass through. Such enclosure shall be maintained in good condition at all times. No articles shall be piled so as to protrude above such enclosure.
No premises shall be used for carrying on the business of junk dealing when more than two buildings situated within a distance of 300 feet are used solely for residence purposes. The enclosure shall be located 25 feet from the street line and nine feet from the side lot line. Two or more adjoining junkyards may be constructed wall to wall if approved by the Town Board, the Building Inspector and property owners.
Upon the filing of the application and the payment to the Building Inspector of the license fee as set by the Town Board, the Building Inspector shall issue to the applicant a license to engage in business as provided in § 189-1. No license shall be refused except for a specified reason. All licenses shall be numbered in the order in which they are issued and shall clearly state the location of the junk business, the date of issuance and expiration of the license and the name and address of the licensee. No applicant to whom a license has been refused shall make further application until a period of at least six months shall have elapsed since the last previous rejection, unless he can show that the reason for such rejection no longer exists.
Every junk dealer shall pay an annual license fee as set by the Town Board. All licenses shall be issued as of July 1 and shall continue in force until June 30 next succeeding the date of issuance thereof, unless revoked sooner.
Every junk dealer's license shall designate the place of business in or from which the junk dealer receiving such license shall be authorized to carry on such business. No licensee shall remove his place of business from the place designated in the license until a written permit has been secured from the Town Board and the same shall have been endorsed upon the license.
No junk dealer shall carry on the business at or from any other place than the one designated in the license therefor, nor shall such business be carried on after such license has been revoked or has expired.
The Town Board may formulate reasonable rules and regulations relating to the conduct of the business of junk dealing which shall protect the health of the community. No junk dealer shall violate any such rule or regulation.
Every junk dealer, upon being served with a written notice to do so by the Town Board on blank forms to be furnished by the Town Board, shall give an accurate description of all goods, articles or other things purchased or received by him in the course of business of a junk dealer at such time and during such period of time specified in the notice, stating the amount paid for the same and the name, residence and general description of the person from whom such goods, articles or things were received.
If any goods, articles or things whatsoever shall be advertised in any newspaper printed in Winnebago County as having been lost or stolen and the same or any answering the description advertised or any portion or part thereof shall be or come into possession of any junk dealer or peddler, he shall give information thereof in writing to the proper officer and state from whom the same was received. Any junk dealer or peddler who has or receives any goods, articles or things lost or stolen or alleged or supposed to have been lost or stolen shall exhibit the same on demand to any police officer, the Town Board or any magistrate or person authorized in writing by the Sheriff of Winnebago County or any magistrate who shall exhibit such authorization to such dealer or peddler.
Upon complaint being made in writing by any Town official or resident of the Town to the Town Clerk that any licensee has violated any of the provisions of this chapter, the Town Board shall summon such licensee to appear before it at the time specified in the summons, which shall be not less than three days after the date of the service thereof, to show cause why this license shall not be revoked. The Town Board and the Building Inspector shall proceed to hear the matter, and if they find the allegations of such complaint are correct, they shall revoke such junk dealer's license.
Whenever any license shall be so revoked, no refund of any unearned portion of the fee therefor shall be made, and no license shall be granted to any person whose license has been revoked within a period of one year from the date of such revocation. Notice of such revocation and the reason or reasons therefor in writing shall be served by an officer upon the person named in the application by mailing the same to the address given in the application and upon filing a copy of the same with the Building Inspector.
Any person who, by himself or by his clerk, agent or employee, shall conduct the business of a junk dealer as herein defined without the license required by this chapter, shall violate any of the provisions of this chapter or who, having had his license revoked, shall continue as a junk dealer may, upon conviction thereof, be subjected to a penalty as provided in Chapter 1, § 1-4 of this Code. In addition to the penalties imposed, the license of the person shall be canceled or revoked.


SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) -- Scoop Jardine sparked a game-deciding rally with 3-pointers on consecutive possessions in the closing minutes, and No. 2 Syracuse beat Connecticut 85-67 on Saturday.
Jardine had a season-high 21 points as Syracuse (25-1, 12-1 Big East) earned its fifth consecutive win since suffering its only loss of the season at Notre Dame.
Connecticut trailed the entire second half but closed to 63-61 on a free throw by Tyler Olander with 6:26 to go.
Jardine then hit 3-pointers from the right side as the Orange closed the game with a 19-3 surge.
Jeremy Lamb scored 18 points for Connecticut (15-9, 5-7), which has lost six of seven.
Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun missed his third straight game since taking an indefinite medical leave due to spinal stenosis, a painful condition in his lower back. Associate head coach George Blaney once again ran the team in his absence.
The crowd of 33,430 was the largest of the season and fourth largest in Carrier Dome history.
NO. 4 MISSOURI 72, NO. 6 BAYLOR 57
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- Phil Pressey scored 19 points, making four of Missouri's season-best 14 3-pointers.
Sixth man Michael Dixon also had four 3-pointers and Marcus Denmon added three for Missouri (23-2, 10-2 Big 12), which shot 50 percent from long range.
Missouri is 14-0 at home and got an easier test a week after needing an 11-0 run to beat Kansas by three. Both games were sellouts although the matchup against Baylor (21-4, 8-4), carrying a higher ranking, failed to match that atmosphere.
Quincy Miller had 20 points and Perry Jones III had just four on 2-for-12 shooting for Baylor, which flopped for the second straight game after a 14-point home loss against No. 8 Kansas on Wednesday night. The Bears shot just 36 percent, negating a whopping 40-27 rebounding advantage.
NO. 5 NORTH CAROLINA 70, NO. 19 VIRGINIA
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -- Tyler Zeller had 25 points and nine rebounds to power North Carolina to the victory.
Harrison Barnes added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Tar Heels (21-4, 8-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who regrouped from Wednesday night's stunning loss to rival Duke on a last-second 3-pointer. North Carolina blew the game open with a 22-5 run that started early in the second half, with Zeller scoring seven points during the spurt that pushed the Tar Heels to a 15-point lead with about 6½ minutes left.
The Cavaliers (19-5, 6-4) got no closer than 11 points again, with the Tar Heels avoiding any kind of repeat of blowing a double-digit lead in the final 2½ minutes against the Blue Devils.
Mike Scott scored 18 points for the Cavaliers, who shot 36 percent. Jontel Evans added 12.
NO. 15 FLORIDA STATE 64, MIAMI 59
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Bernard James scored 15 of his 18 points in the second half and Florida State snapped Miami's five-game winning streak.
Michael Snaer had 12 points and Ian Miller finished with 11 for Florida State (17-7, 8-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), which bounced back from a disappointing 64-60 loss at Boston College on Wednesday.
The 6-foot-10 James went 7 for 8 from the field in the second half and matched his career scoring high. The 27-year-old Air Force veteran also had six rebounds, blocked four shots and added two steals while clamping down on Reggie Johnson, who managed only four points a week after scoring 27 points to lead the Hurricanes to a 78-74 overtime win at Duke.
Kenny Kadji led Miami (15-8, 6-4) with 14 points and Durand Scott added 12.
NO. 18 MARQUETTE 95, CINCINNATI 78
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Darius Johnson-Odom and Jae Crowder scored 23 points each, leading Marquette to the home win.
Jamil Wilson added 15 points for the Golden Eagles (21-5, 10-3 Big East), who have won nine of their last 10 games.
JaQuon Parker and Dion Dixon scored 15 points each for the Bearcats (17-8, 7-5), who had won two straight coming into Saturday's game.
Sean Kilpatrick, Cincinnati's leading scorer, was held to a season-low seven points and spent the late stages of the game on the bench.
It was the most points the defense-minded Bearcats have given up all season. Cincinnati allowed 78 points in a win over Villanova on Jan. 14.
Marquette forced Cincinnati into 14 turnovers.
GEORGIA 70, NO. 20 MISSISSIPPI STATE 68, OT
STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) -- Georgia's Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 20 points, including a crucial 3-pointer late in overtime.
Georgia (12-12, 3-7) earned its first Southeastern Conference road win this season and only its second road victory overall. Gerald Robinson Jr. added 13 points, including eight in overtime. Dustin Ware had 11.
Mississippi State (19-6, 6-4) was led by Dee Bost's 21 points. The senior guard missed a jumper at the buzzer that would have tied it.
Georgia trailed for much of the game, but Robinson hit a driving layup with 27 seconds remaining that sent the game to overtime. Georgia won at Humphrey Coliseum for the first time since 2002.
NO. 24 LOUISVILLE 77, WEST VIRGINIA 74
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- Kyle Kuric scored 17 points to lead five Louisville players in double figures.
Louisville (20-5, 8-4 Big East) scored 13 of the game's final 16 points to extend its winning streak to six games.
Russ Smith had 16 points for the Cardinals. Chris Smith and freshman Wayne Blackshear added 13 apiece and Peyton Siva scored 10.
Blackshear, a McDonald's All-American, saw in his first action of the season. He injured his right shoulder in October and wore a protective sleeve in the game on his 20th birthday.
Kevin Jones had 22 points and 11 rebounds for West Virginia (16-10, 6-7). Deniz Kilicli added 17 points and Darryl "Truck" Bryant scored 13.
