It's been 15 years since food before noon in Boise was transformed by Goldy's Breakfast Bistro, which blew past what everyone else was doing. When I discovered it, I ate there every day for a week. I marveled at the eggs baked with tomato sauce and asparagus, the spaghetti noodles in the frittata. But most days, I find a reason to order the smoked salmon hash with hollandaise, which encapsulates the now-so-overused term "eclectic Northwest comfort food."
You'd have thought Goldy's long weekend lines and perennial "best of" wins would have inspired a wave of breakfast innovators - or at least some decent copycats. But aside from a few regular restaurants that put out a killer brunch on Sundays, breakfast in the Treasure Valley hasn't moved forward from biscuits and gravy or Denver omelets.
We should look west, to Moe Joe's Breakfast Eatery. For almost a year now, affable owner-operator-chef Joe Boyd has been building his business one table at a time. Though he told me one day he got into kitchen work because he's not a big fan of manual labor, his work here is evident. He is cooking from scratch with fresh ingredients, the creativity is boundless, and his crew is well-trained. While forging his own path, Joe is aware of Goldy's presence on the landscape. And he made it clear to me recently that he had a clear goal for himself: to serve the best breakfast in the area.
So far, so good. It's a tall order to prove to someone there's something better than their favorite restaurant, especially an institution such as Goldy's. (Want to start a fight? Tell someone Flying Pie isn't the best pizza in Boise.) But if you are more interested in food than the room in which it's served, and less willing to wait an hour on the street to get into a breakfast place, Moe Joe's might convince you.
Located just south of the Eagle exit in Meridian, the restaurant is tucked into a business complex away from Overland Road. Inside, the room is tall and wide open, with white walls and blue ceilings, ornamented with a few bits of generic country-kitsch. Right away when we visited, the service staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, a good sign. They spoke proudly of the food they were serving. We ate and we got it.
Among the myriad signature dishes, there is one that seizes the imagination. Called Doughnut and a Cup of Joe ($9.99), it's actually a stack of buttermilk pancakes, served with a tiny pitcher of syrup right in the middle. You lift out the pitcher, and the pancakes look like a doughnut. Cute enough. But this is more than merely clever: The pancakes are perfect, light and not too sweet, balanced against a glaze of sugary icing as thin as window frost. On top are toasted crushed almonds. The syrup is reduced house coffee and maple, and it is cunningly delicious. My wife and I don't normally order pancakes, but between the two of us, we've managed to get these on four separate trips when we set out to order something else. Once, we were going to the gym, and we ended up instead eating doughnut pancakes.
It's not because of a shortage of other interesting choices. The jalapeno berry pancakes ($9.99) are daubed with pockets of cream cheese cooked into the batter, and served with sweet, just-shy-of-spicy syrup and sliced fresh jalapeno. (A $3 upcharge will get you specialty pancakes with most meals in place of toast.) For the cinnamon roll French toast ($10.99), a whole pastry is halved into wide slices, battered, griddled, glazed and crusted with almonds.
The savory fare is rich but lightened by the freshness of the components, and the portions are appropriate rather than coma-inducing. Among the unusual offerings, the chilaquiles ($10.99) is a well-made breakfast nacho dish of corn chips with housemade green chili and ranchero sauces, black beans, onions, fresh jalapenos, roasted pork, and cheese with eggs.
There are classic Benedicts and omelets, as well as hashes for the meat-and-potatoes crowd, including straight-as-an-arrow versions that are elevated by elements such as prime rib and house-roasted corned beef (also on a delicious sandwich with Russian dressing for lunch, with terrific hand-cut french fries). The standard items are done right: the country-fried steak ($10.99) is a battered, craggy knob as big as your fist with cream gravy and crisp potatoes.
Even the pedestrian-sounding breakfast burrito is made memorable by the house-made sauces. The egg-cheese-and-potato burrito ($8.99) is customizable with your choice of meat, wrapped in a huge tortilla. With chorizo and a molten lake of brick red ranchero sauce, this was outstanding - something like an enchilada, the best I've had at breakfast or otherwise.
Once, when offered a warm-up on coffee, my wife asked if our server could just reheat what was left in her cup, only to learn that there is no microwave. It's a small detail, but an important one. No microwave. Joe is not cutting corners. That reminds me of this other breakfast place ...

With the absurd amount of HDTVs in production today, it could be difficult to find one that fits your needs and at the same time, exceeds your expectations.
There's no question that HDTVs are not the most affordable devices around. That is why you want to get one that satisfies you and gives enough value for your money. It is very frustrating to get an HDTV only to see that it is of low quality. That being said, let me introduce you to one that is very capable: Check out the Olevia 537H LCD HDTV, and prepare yourself to be duly impressed.

Chapter 0813 of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees met on July 16 at the Ponderosa Steakhouse in Greensburg for its monthly meeting. The meeting was opened by president Eva Stone welcoming those present and followed with Kay Hineman leading the group with the Pledge of Allegiance and the invocation.
For the monthly program President Eva Stone introduced John Miller from Rising Sun of the Southeastern Indiana Bee Keepers Association. Mr Miller gave a program on maintaining honey bee hives throughout the year. He had a typical hive with the inserts with photos of the different stages of hive growth and photos of the different pests of hives. There are many pests that can destroy hives. Some interesting facts are that the hive is controlled at around 94 degrees by the bees flapping their wings inside the hive and the queen being nothing more than an egg laying machine with the workers moving her around to do her work and at least once a year a new queen is selected.
For Indiana, bee research is conducted at Purdue Universary. Miller noted that the honey bee is not native to North America. The brands of honey in stores is pasteurized, while using unpasteurized honey, some individuals may have an allergic reaction to the honey. Thanks to Mr. Miller for his informative program.
Following the program, a business meeting was held with the secretary's minutes and treasurer's report being read and approved. Other chapter business had the legislative officer, service officer and other committee reports given.
The attendance prize was won by Roselyn McQueen. The birthday of Pat Springman was acknowledged with the singing of Happy Birthday.
The next meeting will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 20 at the Ponderosa Steakhouse in Greensburg with optional lunch following the meeting.
If you are a retired employee or currently an active employee and have an interest in attending chapter meetings, join us at our next meeting.

NORMAN — Two weeks ago Oklahoma probably would've lost to Baylor. A week ago in Waco probably would've been a different outcome than Saturday's 66-64 victory over the 12th-ranked Bears.
Through the first 16 games, OU just wasn't good enough defensively to overcome an awful shooting half like the one it experienced in the opening 20 minutes of Saturday at the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas.
But that's why this past week was a seminal week for the 25th-ranked Sooners (14-4, 3-2 Big 12). The second half of Tuesday's loss at Kansas State coupled with the performance against the Bears is the best defense they've played all season.
"I thought the second half at Kansas State was a start," OU coach Lon Kruger said." A couple good days of practice transferred pretty good today. Playing good clubs every night out so we've got to keep getting better especially on that end of the floor."
Over the last six quarters, the shooting percentage OU has allowed is 41.2 percent (45 for 109) and the 3-point percentage defense has dropped 32.1 percent (9 for 28).
Against Baylor, it was what allowed OU to win on a day it shot just 39.3 percent and get a 1-1 road split during a week the Sooners shot just 36.0 percent during the two games.
The defensive leap came at the perfect time. Saturday's victory allowed OU to get through a brutal part of the Big 12 schedule where it played its first five games against the four teams that had been ranked conference play started — Kansas, Iowa State, Kansas State and Baylor — as well as Texas.
Kansas currently leads the conference at 4-0. Kansas State is second at 4-1. The Sooners are tied with Oklahoma State and Texas at 3-2. The Cyclones are 2-3 and Baylor is a disappointing 1-3.
The win Saturday, staying above .500 and braving what appears to be the toughest 2 1/2 week stretch of the season is a momentum boost.
"Yeah, it's way better than 2-3," OU forward Ryan Spangler said of the conference record." You don't want to be there or we didn't as a team. I think we just fought. We've been close the last 2-3 games that we let go. Today, we finally finished it and I think that taught us something."
It was another game that was decided in the final minutes. That's been the case in league game OU has played. They were outplayed the Jayhawks and Cyclones in the last five minutes. The Sooners did the outplaying against the Longhorns, Cyclones and Bears.
Perhaps, OU will get a break from the 40-minute grind this week. TCU (9-8, 0-5) comes to Lloyd Noble Center at 8 p.m. Wednesday. The Sooners travel to Texas Tech (10-8, 2-3) Saturday.
But this week will only be as easy as the Sooners make it. They've proven they can be good enough defensively to win tough games. If they get their offense going again — and the second half performance against the Bears was a huge step in that direction — the Sooners are building some serious momentum.

o you love art?
Okay, let me get more specific. Do you love Dungeons & Dragons art?
One of the most common questions I get when I'm on the road is this one: "When are you going to do a cool D&D art book?" Art books ARE cool! Well, they are to an art lover, and we have done a few for D&D over the years. But it's been awhile, so let's talk about art books for a few minutes and discover what you might like to see in one if we did one in the future. Actually, I'm just going to ask lots of questions. Your answers will help inform and educate on what you are really interested in seeing in the world of art books.
First, let's go over what you expect from an art book. Obviously, an art book should have art. But should it have only art? Do you want additional prose as part of an art book, and if you do, what kind of prose interests you and adds value to the book?
When it comes to art, I get a lot of conflicting opinions. Some folks tell me that they want a "best of" art book. You know, pull together some of the best art, from the best artists, from the most popular products, and showcase it in the art book. Other fans tell me to skip the idea of rehashing artwork and show them only new stuff—stuff from their favorite artists or on their favorite subject matter.
Speaking of new art, after we ran my devils article a few weeks back, I received a lot of feedback saying that a book of devils and demons art would be "Awesome!" That sounds like fun. The question then is whether it should be old art or new art or a mix?
Although you might not consider it an "art book," some folks have been screaming for D&D coloring books. I remember some of the D&D coloring books from the 1980s, and in fact I might even have a couple hidden away.
Thanks for playing along with my question-and-answer period on art books. For those of you who have clamored for them, let's see if the answers to these questions help give me some options to answer your call.

Here's my first product review from my haul - Covergirl's newest mascara, the Clump Crusher! I was lucky enough to find this for $10AUD at Target. (Regular price $17.95AUD) Previously, I wasn't a huge fan of Covergirl mascaras because they always seemed to smudge throughout the day. However, this mascara did not! This mascara gives good separation, and a fair amount of volume - I do prefer mascaras that provide a bit more volume and exaggeration - but this gave a nice amount for a more daytime look. I already have super long lashes so it's hard for me to tell whether it gives any length. Most importantly, the mascara didn't clump even when applying a second coating. In terms of longevity, it lasted the day without flaking or smudging, and was easily removed with a gentle eye makeup remover.

I did have a few reservations about the product, one being that the brush was a bit too spiky. I prefer soft brush applicators to the hard plastic ones. The other is the shape of the brush. I didn't really know which way to use it, it seemed to give the same effect no matter which side I used, so I didn't really get that.
Have you tried this mascara? What did you think?

Emma Watson shows off her edgy side on the cover of the February issue of Marie Claire UK.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower star opens up in her interview about her work ethic, her family, and where she's at in her career.

No matter how hard Emma is working, she makes sure to make time for the people that are important in her life. "Friends and family come first and work comes second; that's just how I live my life."
Emma also added about her career, "Now I feel a lot more settled in who I am and what I think and how I want to do things. And because I feel good about what I'm doing, I don't need anyone else to say whether they think it's good or not."

The Daily Star
---- — ONEONTA — Top-seeded Oneonta High followed its shots to four goals and a third straight trip to the Section Four Class B girls soccer championship game with a 4-1 semifinal victory over No. 4 Waverly on Saturday at Lloyd F. Baker Field.
Taryn More scored twice for the defending sectional champion Yellowjackets, who broke a brief 1-1 tie with three second-half goals.
"Obviously, that's a good team out there," Waverly coach Brian Myers said of Southern Tier Athletic Conference champion OHS (16-2). "When you're playing the No. 1 ranked team in the state, you know you're in for a challenge."
Trailing for much of the first half, Interscholastic Athletic Conference affiliate Waverly (13-2-1) tied the score 2 minutes, 4 seconds after the break on Sabrina Bowman's shot from the corner.
"We came out on a timer," Myers said. "One, two, to another player's feet. I thought we could slip one in from the wing, and we hit it right off."
What happened next won the game for Oneonta, according to OHS coach Jerry Mackey.
Less than three minutes later, Brieanna Baker brought the ball up the right sideline and passed to More, who shot from the top of the 18-yard box. Waverly goalie Allie Frutchey blocked the shot but didn't cover it, and Abby Picinich came in from the left and scored with 4:53 gone in the second half.
"To come right back and score, that was key," Mackey said. "If we let them stay tied for 15-20 minutes, then the pressure is on us. Instead we handled it very well."
A little more than 10 minutes later, the Yellowjackets made it 3-1 when Picinich fed More on a cross. More's shot hit the crossbar and fell down into the goal.
"Taryn is finally 100 percent," Mackey said of More, who missed several games late in the regular season following a collision. "She got cleared before the playoffs, and the doctor said she has 100 percent range of motion in her leg now. She got warmed up in the quarterfinal, and you could see her back at full strength today. She's really coming on."
With a little more than 19 minutes left, Oneonta made it 4-1 on Cami Cleaveland's goal. Picinich split two defenders and played the ball up the middle to Cleaveland, who was on the run.
Frutchey (seven saves) was shaken up on the play, and Waverly replaced her in goal with Reylyn Schwartzhoff (three saves) for the rest of the game.
More scored her first goal 19 minutes into the semifinal, on a rebound of Baker's shot from the wing.
Oneonta controlled the game in the first half, limiting the Wolverines' touches past midfield. Goalie Emmalee Sloman finished with one save for OHS, which outshot Waverly, 14-7.
Waverly striker Liia Carpenter had an early look at the goal but had trouble with a relentless marking effort by Oneonta's Madison Miller.
"(Miller) has great size, and she knows how to defend without fouling," Mackey said. "She can start and stop, and she doesn't go for fakes. She's just a great defender. (Carpenter) had the one look early, but then I thought we took her out of it."
Myers also praised the Jackets' defense.
"Their defense did well, and their sweeper (Shelby Cleaveland) makes it hard, too," he said. "Anything we sent down the center, she cleared."
Oneonta will play second-seeded Seton Catholic Central (10-3-1) — a 3-1 winner over Dryden of the IAC on Saturday — in the sectional final. The Yellowjackets won at STAC-rival Seton, 1-0, during the regular season.
The date and location of the final will be determined after Hurricane Sandy passes, Mackey said.
"Seton gave us all we could handle at their place," Mackey said. "It will be a good game. They are going to pressure us."

When it comes to coaching searches, don't believe everything you hear.
Most in the area know this all too well from past experience, whether you're a diehard WVU fan or one of those folks who changes their allegiances whenever Nick Saban slips on a different colored polo.
And while the stakes aren't nearly as high, it applies to the high school game as well. The latest example is Fairmont Senior football, which is looking for a new face of the program after head coach Jared Mileto resigned last week after three seasons.
You hear possible names around town, scroll Internet message boards, and naturally wonder what's real and what's not.

Budget Accommodation Europe Spain Seville
Seville (Sevilla in Spanish) is a city in Andalusia in southern Spain best known for its Moorish fort-cum-palace, the Alcázar. It also boasts the distinction of being the place where tapas were first invented. Seville was founded over 2,000 years ago by the Romans, who were displaced from the region early in the 8th century by the Moors.

Long-Term Care Systems Change
Like other states, Louisiana has begun efforts to "rebalance" the state's long-term care systems to provide greater access to non-institutional, home and community-based alternatives with a goal of assisting people to remain a part of their communities.
Long- term supports and services, or long-term care, consists of the following services:
Population aging and the large amount of Medicaid dollars already going toward long-term care services encouraged both the federal government and states to rethink the way long-term care systems have traditionally worked.
Learn more about Louisiana's work to transition elements of the Louisiana Rehabilitation Services program from Louisiana Department of Children & Family Services to DHH and the Louisiana Workforce Commission.
Louisiana's Plan for Choice
Through leadership from the DHH Office of Aging and Adult Services, the state has put forth a comprehensive plan to reform how long-term care services are delivered. These services include:
See Louisiana's Plan for Choice in Long-Term Care
Money Follows the Person Rebalancing Demonstration
My Place Louisiana is the state's program for the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Money Follows the Person (MFP) Rebalancing Demonstration, designed to help states try new ways of delivering Medicaid services. The demonstration program is designed to help people to move, or "transition" away from institutional settings to home and community-based environments, such as homes or apartments.

Summer Cold07/21/2014
I've been achy and sniffling for two days.
Because I can't behave like a grown-up.
A rain storm started just as The Attorney and I got back from out Friday night date.
A gushing, skies opened, downpour.
There had been a big drop in temperature and it was cold.
Not bitter cold.
Summer cold.
And I loved it.
I'm a water baby by nature and I love anything that gets me wet.1
We ran from the car to the house. But I stopped half way, peeled off my shirt, turned my chest to the heavens and let the shower pelt it and my face.
The Attorney, ever the grown-up, shouted from the porch to get my ass out of the rain.
I told him I wouldn't until he came and kissed me in the rain.
Reluctantly he did.
A quick one. "Okay, can we go in now?"
I held him back and pulled his shirt over his head.
We kissed again.
Bare-chested in the rain.
I undid my britches and shook them down to my ankles.
Only thing I love more than getting wet is getting naked.2
I told him to take his off.
He refused.
But I had a way to convince him and eventually I did.
It wasn't like we were not on private property a couple of acres from anyone else and under the cloak of night.
Plus we couldn't go inside in soaked clothes.
So we made out bare-chested and bare-assed in the rain, until we shivered, goose-bumps and all.
But that's something only grown-ups should do, right?
And now I have a summer cold.
But it was worth it.

Rodents, no running water, old decaying schools. It may sound like a third world country, but in Tacoma, it's reality.
The campaign, "Renew our Commitment, Vote Yes on Prop 1," aims to change that.
A $500 million bond issue will upgrade safety and renovate 14 schools in desperate need of repair.
The measure goes before voters on Feb. 12 in a special election.
"We're really hoping the voters come through," said Courtney O'Catherine.
O'Catherine is a teacher at Grant Center for the Expressive Arts; her daughter is also a student there.
"You don't reach into a dark place without checking first," she said.
The school was built in 1919.
"Its prison windows, they're blocked off, they can't see outside, there's no light," she said.
"We're really hoping Prop. 1 passes," said Jennifer Cooper, the school's principal.
According to Cooper, water fountains are broken, ceilings leak and parts of the playground are unsafe. Some classrooms don't have running water or control over the temperature inside. While teachers and staff do their best to make students comfortable, the problems persist.
"There's only so many times you can put the Band-Aid on and then what are we going to do when we've done this, 20, 30, 40, 50 times," said Cooper.
Prop. 1 supporters have a tough task. Voters overwhelmingly rejected similar bonds in 2006 and 2009.
"We are not settling for where we've been in the past, we are going to be on a relentless pursuit to improve education and the quality of life for everyone in Tacoma," said Josh Garcia, District Deputy Superintendent.
O'Catherine is hopeful voters will have a change of heart. Her daughter Eleanor depends on it.
"She deserves as much as any kid out there," she said.
According to the campaign, if the bond is passed, the average cost to homeowners is $58.24 a year.
A series of public open houses are scheduled for people to learn more about Prop 1. The first is at Tacoma's Wilson High School, Monday night at 6 p.m.
In addition to Tacoma, Seattle, Puyallup, South Kitsap and several other school districts will have similar measures on the Feb. 12 special election ballot.

BELLEVILLE — An architecture firm determined the Meredith Home is structurally sound, though the building does show some deterioration.
The city-owned building at 16 S. Illinois St. is in "fair good condition and requires no immediate structural repairs," White & Borgognoni Architects said in a conditions assessment done in October.
Belleville resident Rick Ortiz said the study was thorough and favorable and will help attract developers to preserve and renovate the building.
Ortiz advocated against demolishing the historic building and using the property for a memorial park.
Last month, Ortiz launched www.projectbelleville.org, which describes the building's history and current condition, and features a video tour of the former Hotel Belleville.
The architecture firm's findings, recommendations and photos are also on Ortiz's website.
City officials will use the condition assessment in a request for proposals for the property in coming weeks, according to Eric Schauster, the city's economic development specialist and grants coordinator.
According to the study, the Art Deco building was constructed with "durable, long-life materials" and the Catholic Diocese of Belleville kept the building in good condition.
Gail White, of White & Borgognoni Architects, said much of the building's deterioration is because the building has been unoccupied since 2010, when the city bought it from the diocese.
The roof has wind-uplift damage and moisture damage because the heating and cooling has been off for a few years.
There is mold growth on the basement walls, but that has not comprised the structural integrity of the basement.
And, though the building was established before seismic regulations and upgrades are not required, the architecture firm recommends such work.
The assessment, which cost $5,250, will be paid for by a $3,675 grant from the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency and an in-kind donation by the architecture firm.
"(Historic preservation) is not only something we have a lot of experience in, but we have a personal interest in as well," White said. "Because it's a publicly owned building that has a potential to be used as a benefit to the community ... we thought we'd help take a first step in determining if the building can be renovated."
Ortiz said he and others who support the "Save the Belleville Meredith Home" campaign welcomed the momentum to give the building another chance.
"We will never be able to build something like the Meredith Home," Ortiz said. "I'm proud of our city for listening to us, getting the grant, and for our officials, across party lines, to be responsive to us."
Belleville Mayor Mark Eckert announced in September the city will wait until May to proceed with demolition so preservationists have more time to find investors.
Eckert's announcement came shortly after the city received higher than expected bids for demolition.
If developers do not come forward, the city will proceed with plans to build a park, per an agreement with Belleville attorney Bruce Cook.
Cook donated $500,000 to the city with the understanding that a park will be established at the site for his late daughter, Susannah Marison, who died in 2010 from a brain tumor.
Eckert said Cook expects his donation back if plans for the park evaporate.

OTTUMWA — Wanting to help is a common Iowa reaction to a tragedy like the bombing in Boston. Just be sure, say helper agencies, your efforts really are helpful.
The desire to help is natural and commendable, says an expert at the Poynter Institute for journalism.
Al Tompkins warns that the desire to help often results not in needed supplies but "warehouses full of flowers and unwanted teddy bears."
For example, there was a desperate need for blood in Boston after the explosions. With help from Ottumwans and other donors in the region, they received some of that supply.
"The patients who were injured yesterday in Boston were treated, and they did need blood. A lot of blood," said Kirby Winn, spokesman for the Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center, which includes the Ottumwa blood bank. "It depleted their supply quite a bit. What happened with our blood center was that the hospitals in Boston put out a national appeal for blood."
With a reported 176 people injured, 17 critical, Mississippi Valley was able to send Boston 120 units of blood.
"Especially O negative, A positive and B positive. Those are the three that were needed to help the most people," Winn said.
The Iowans who helped won't be the ones who rush to give blood now; in fact, a massive rush of new donors would not be helpful right now. The people who really helped are the regular donors from places like Boston and Ottumwa.
"It was the people who gave last week," said Winn. "One thing we heard about was the public's idea of giving blood, the desire to do something. But we do not want to see an influx of donors here. We know that people in Ottumwa want to help the people in Boston. But if all of a sudden, we had a lot of people show up, it would essentially expire on the shelf."

James O'Connor scored all 22 points in a Man of the Match performance but it was George Skivington and his forward pack that DoR Brian Smith labelled as crucial in the victory.
The two teams at the bottom of the table were both in need of a win in the Saturday afternoon fixture after Irish could not convert their three tries against Gloucester into a much needed victory last weekend.
Worcester, winless so far in the Premiership looked ready to avenge the two point gap Irish won by last September.
From the off, pressure from Irish meant Worcester gave away a penalty inside their own half but three points went begging when James O'Connor couldn't convert.
Possession then went back and forth between the two sides, but it was Irish who were creating more and when Worcester infringed for a second time O'Connor's attempt went over for three well deserved points to put Irish 3-0 ahead.
For a period of play neither team were able to penetrate either defence with solid tackles slowing down the ball from both sides. Ball went over the top of the lineout with a Worcester throw which placed pressure on the Irish five metre line but good work from Mike Mayhew at the break down dissipated the pressure.
Irish were camped in their own half with the visitors enjoying a good period of possession which led to them levelling the scoreboard at 3-3 with Captain Chris Pennell booting the ball over.
Worcester's Australian fly half Paul Warwick made the first clean break of the game down the middle of the field, when he spotted a gap in the London Irish defence. Irish illegally slowed the ball down and Chris Pennell kicked his second of the match to put his side in front for the first time in the match.
London Irish were unable to put many phases together but Worcester's ill discipline gave Irish good field position when Geraghty kicked to the left corner with a penalty. However, the driving maul at the Worcester five metre line, led to a knock on by Irish. It seemed Irish were getting into the right areas but were wasteful with poor execution.
A solid scrum from Irish deep in Worcester's 22 led to another penalty kick with O'Connor and his bright orange boots flying the ball between the posts.
The ball barely saw the full width of the pitch in the opening 40, meaning the wingers on both teams were working hard in defence and putting pressure on the kick chase.
In the second half, Worcester were penalised for not realeasing and O'Connor had an easy kick in front of the posts.
The Australian back kept the score board ticking over in Irish's favour going from 9-6 to 12-6. Goal kicking cost the Exiles last week but it was a different story this weekend.
The Exiles were still hunting for the first try of the game and when they won a lineout on the Worcester 22 they set up a driving maul and drove into the heart of the Worcester defence which bossed the Worcester forwards around and resulted in their number 8 being sent to the bin.
An accurate afternoon for O'Connor's boot put an even bigger gap between the side's as he kicked his fifth to make it 15-6.
Inspirational play and a high work rate from George Skivington, who led from the front all afternoon, kept the pressure on the Warriors.
The first try came with 20 minutes to go and was made by the great timing of the pass from Shane Geraghty to O' Connor who went over in the right hand corner to rapturous applause from the home supporters. He added the extras to make it 22-6.
Worcester dominated the final 15 minutes and were looking dangerous. However the Irish defence was up to the challenge and great tackles from Eamonn Sheridan stifled the Warriors attacking play. The visitors did add three points to their tally with a third Pennell penalty.
Irish spent the remainder of the second half defending their line with some established pressure from the Warriors fighting for the losing bonus point.
However, the score remained the same and Irish started the New Year with a long awaited win.
Irish move above Newcastle into 10th and prepare this week for a return to Amlin Cup action against Lusitanos.

'The thing with Mooney is he's a confidence player' (From East London and West Essex Guardian Series)

Former Watford and QPR winger Lee Cook impressed with form of Leyton Orient striker after Carlisle United win
11:18am Monday 19th November 2012 in Sport By Simon Mail
Leyton Orient winger Lee Cook praised the contribution of David Mooney after his brace in the O's 4-1 win at Carlisle United.
Mooney took his tally to three goals in two games after an excellent performance in Orient's convincing victory at Brunton Park.
Cook, who also netted at the weekend, believes Mooney is forming a potent strike partnership with Kevin Lisbie which can fire them up the League One table.
The former QPR attacker said: "It was brilliant. The thing with Mooney is he's a confidence player and is one of those you need to put your arm around.
"He came back into the side against Coventry and had a decent game which gave him a boost. I think you're seeing the best of him now because he's playing great and if we can keep him in that sort of form then we'll do well."

A team of brothers from Edison are running a new fitness program designed in their University of Pennsylvania dorm rooms at several NJ gyms.
Z-Fanatical Fitness is a workout program started by the Zannetti brothers, Gene and Jeff.
Gene Zannetti said the workout was born out of a need for fitness that did not entail special equipment that could be done in a dorm or hotel room or apartment. It is a 45 minute workout that is executed in four sections - full body, abs, arms and legs.
Participants repeat a number of exercises in circuits that last 10 minutes each. They are constantly moving throughout the workout, which does not require any machines, weights or equipment.
"We became incorporated last year and since have become nationally and internationally recognized (as) an approved group fitness program through 9 (nine) fitness organizations," Zannetti said.
The program continues to grow, he said.
"We currently run group classes through our certified Z-Coaches at Rutgers and Princeton University as well as several Retro-Fitness locations, Fitness and Wellness Professional Locations, Fitness Elite in Hillsborough, USA Karate in Springfield, CJA Wrestling Club, South Plainfield Police Athletic League, and Central Park in New York City," Zannetti said. "We are rapidly spreading throughout the tri-state area."
Zannetti runs the Rutgers University class, and is assisted by about 40 coaches overseeing classes at the other locations.
Beata Matusewicz, 20, a junior at Rutgers University, said she has been coming to nearly all the classes since the beginning of the fall semester.
"I feel good during and after class," she said, at the end of a session. "He (Zannetti) inspires you a lot. He makes you want to come back."

a vegetable farm that has two locations in Cutchogue and now on Middle Road in Calverton, from the New York State Regional Economic Development Council toward more machinery and equipment to expand its vegetable processing and packaging line at the Calverton location.
The farm is one of two dozen projects across the First State Senate District to receive grant funding, but some readers questioned the grant after Patch published the story of the awards last month.
Paulette Satur is a member of the economic advisory council, and for years now, the farm has been the subject of neighborhood conflict, located close to residential houses on the other side of the street on Alvah's Lane in Cutchogue.
Though a dispute which made it to the courts involving dust, diesel pollution and noise created by the loading and unloading of large refrigerated trucks on Alvah's Lane has simmered down — the trucks have been relocated to the Calverton facility — another neighbor is now fighting to get a diesel generator removed or relocated.
Regarding the grant, Jason Conwall, senior press officer for Empire State Development, said that anyone can apply for funding from the economic development council and that decisions to grant the money is based only on merit — no matter if the person is on the council or not.
"Heads of influential organizations and businesses who might happen to be on the council are also looking for money from the state," Conwall said. "It doesn't necessarily look great but there is no conflict of interest."
Joe Gergela, president of the Long Island Farm Bureau, agreed.
"It's very expensive for farmers to chop vegetables for preparation purposes, which is what they are doing privately," Gergela said. "And given the level of investment they are putting into their own farming operation, I don't see this as a conflict of interest. Economic development grants are for expanding jobs and business and any farmer can apply."
But neighbor Jim Best said he does not view Satur as just any farmer. Over the past year or so, he has written dozens of letters to New York State Department of Environmental Conservation officials and other governmental entities regarding the matter of a diesel generator located near the roadside across from his house — a house he grew up in and now lives in with his wife and elderly mother. He says he's tired of the plastic bags and other debris blowing into his yard from Satur and says that the diesel generator used for cooling is interrupting and polluting his life every day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
"There is an extremely strong diesel smell in and around our house for 13 hours a day," he said. "We have to shut the windows in the summer."
Best said he is also getting a scientist from Brooklyn College to test the soil and water around his house for pollutants.
"The bottom line is this — why did they put that generator right next to the street and our house?" he said. "There are lots of farmers around here with the same types of generators who place them in fields away from everything else. LIPA uses generators too, but they enclose them in buildings so you don't see or smell them."
In a letter written this past April to Paulette Satur from Flavio Dobran, a researcher at Stony Brook University for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's Division of Air resources, Dobran states that several inspections of the area surrounding the engine "demonstrate that the engine's emissions can adversely impact individuals too close to the engine and that an immediate action should be taken to reduce the emissions or relocated the engine to a location where this impact can be minimal."
Dobran also recommended emissions testing on the engine but did not hear back from Satur and wrote this letter on May 3 of last year:
"Given that you did not respond by April 30 to my letter, I am submitting this issue to higher authorities … I am very disappointed that you keep insisting on your right to farm while the engine emissions are creating a nuisance and have potential to cause health problems to your neighbors."
That same day, Paulette Satur responded to the DEC:
"We must respectfully disagree with your assertion that engine emissions can adversely impact the individuals too close to the engine … There is no evidence that any emissions adversely impact any individual and there is no qualification of the meaning of 'too close.' There is no evidence that any violation of the law or regulation has occurred. The engine in issue when purchased was fully compliant with all applicable regulations and was legally permitted to be operated. Similar engines are routinely used by other farming operations. We are not aware of any other farming operation being subjected to the treatment we are now being accorded."
DEC Regional Director Peter Scully said in a letter written to Best on May 31 that the DEC's Division of Air Resources established that "none of the equipment in use on the farm requires a permit under the New York State Air Regulations. This determination includes the diesel generator mentioned in your email, which due to its small size does not fall under DEC jurisdiction. Nonetheless, DEC staff have been working with the owners of the farm to alleviate potential impacts resulting from the generator and other equipment. These efforts have resulted in several modifications to the farm's operations including the relocation of the six refrigerated trailers to an offsite location and the posting of no idling signs as a reminder of truck drivers visiting the farm."
Scully recommended that Best send his concerns to the state Department of Health's Bureau of Environmental Exposure, as the DEC's staff "does not include public health professionals qualified to address the health risks and concerns raised in your email."
Paulette Satur said that she thinks that the continued interest in the operation of her business is "amazing," and the issue of her neighbor and the generator is a non-issue.
"I'm way too busy for any of this kind of nonsense," she told Patch on Sunday. "Yes, we have a generator. We are running a very complicated business and things are in constant motion. It's not like there is an answer for this and I can't update you on everything. Part of the grant will be used to hire more people and create more jobs. We're excited to keep agriculture moving on the North Fork but there are so many things that are just unknown at the moment."

The early stages of the game were tight before Urule Igbavboa (Oakdale, Minn./Tartan) threw down back-to-back dunks at the 13:42 mark to give Valpo a 14-9 lead. The Crusaders continued to extend their lead through the middle portion of the opening stanza, with Samuel Haanpaa (Kerava, Finland/Cornerstone [Texas] Christian) hitting two straight 3-pointers to give Valpo a 13-point lead with 6:06 to play in the half.
UMKC answered before the half, however, getting three triples from Dane Brumagin in a 16-2 run to tie the game in the late stages of the half. But Jarryd Loyd (Lincolnwood, Ill./Niles West) converted on a pair of free throw attempts in the waning seconds to give Valpo a 38-36 halftime edge.
The teams traded baskets at the beginning of the second half until Quinton Day hit a jumper followed by a 3-pointer to help give UMKC a five-point edge with 16:42 to play. The Kangaroos held the lead for the next three minutes before Valpo made another run, receiving triples from Haanpaa and Loyd to take a 56-52 lead with 12:51 left.
UMKC answered with back-to-back buckets from Ayuba to tie the game, and Brumagin hit his fourth 3-pointer of the game to put the Kangaroos on top, 59-57. Brandon McPherson (Indianapolis, Ind./Lawrence North) answered immediately with a triple of his own to give Valpo the edge, but Ayuba powered inside to give UMKC to lead for good at 61-60 with 8:56 to play.
UMKC extended its lead to eight points with under a minute left, but the Crusaders had one final spurt in them. Jake Diebler (Upper Sandusky, Ohio/Upper Sandusky) cut the lead to five with a triple, and after Ayuba split a pair of free throws, McPherson hit another 3-pointer to make it a three-point ballgame. But UMKC hit its last six free throws, and Valpo would not hit another field goal the rest of the way.
Haanpaa paced four Crusaders in double figures with 19 points, hitting five of his nine 3-point attempts. Igbavboa added 18 to go along with 10 rebounds for his tenth double-double of the season, while Shawn Huff (Helsinki, Finland/Makelanrinne) scored 12 points and McPherson 11.
Ayuba led all scorers with 31 points on 12-of-17 shooting. Brumagin and Day each scored 17 for the victors, who hit 72.7% of their shots from the field in the second half.
Despite the loss, Valparaiso finished the season above .500 for the 13th time in 14 years. The loss also ends the career of just one Valparaiso senior, center Moussa Mbaye (Dakar, Senegal/Life Center [N.J.] Academy), who finishes his four years at Valpo with 266 points and 334 rebounds.
