Here goes something.
Chapter 25: Immortality
It hurt her eyes, the light was too bright. Perhaps she had not opened her eyes for quite some time. Soon enough, she realised she was lying on a not so comfortable bed, and she quickly recognised the familiarity of the place. It was the same place she spent days and nights in for months, taking care of her dying mother many years ago. The difference was, she was now on the bed, in the same hospital her mother died.
Puki Galore could only recall vaguely what happened. Soon enough, flashbacks ran quickly on her mind, like a film rolling in fast motion, playing scenes from seperate cuts. She remembered being seduced and embraced by a dead gorgeous blond guy from the Bronze, and somewhere in the middle of climaxing scenes things got wild, and she was having the best sex of her lives, until suddenly she felt deep cut running into her neck, draining her life away from her. It did not take a rocket scientist to figure out that was the creature of the night preying on her.
But the question was, why was she still alive? For one she knew she was far from dead. She felt, alive.
Someone barged in the door so suddenly that Puki shrieked in horror.
"Oh sorry Pussy, Oh, I mean... Puki, I did not know you have come around. How are you doing anyway?" asked the guy with the babyface. Looking on the whole he may be only in his mid-twenties, with black hair combed right to the back, and brown huge eyes. He was tall, and he wore black shirt and jeans.
"Errm, I feel alright. Who are you?" Puki gazed at him as she questioned him.
There was silence. Puki kept staring at the guy, standing just a foot away from her. There was something awefully familiar in his eyes, yet she felt as if she had not seen him before.
"I am a friend. I see that you are doing alright. I shall let the doctor take care of you from now onwards". The mysterious guy dashed out of the room so abruptly that Puki was puzzled with so many unanswered questions. However, she sensed sadness in his eyes, she sensed pain and suffering.
She sensed right. Robin left with tears rolling down his cheeks. He knew this would happen. He knew it all along, but it was a choice to make. There was a price to pay. And he made the choice, and suffered the consequences. It may not seemed to be the best choice, but Robin knew in his heart that Puki must live on.
Robin was a powerful wiccan, originated from the line of the Lin Dynasty. It was said that Robin would inherit ten fold the power of the magic originally achieved by his ancestors. He has been using his powers for good, like treating patients with Erectile Dysfunction, improving sexual drives and health, instant body reshape which includes unlimited breasts and penis enlargements, as well as fast fat burning services, all done by pure clean magic. Of course, he used his magic for other better activities also, like curing diseases such as AIDS. Robin had always tried to make things better for the world, mainly by aiding people to fully enjoy their sex lives.
When the Creature of the night nearly drained the final essence of life out of Puki, Robin jumped out from the darkness, and raised his right arm to the air, with his middle finger pointing out, chanting the following spell:
Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust,
Assholes to dickholes,
I am the light that shines over darkness,
I am the light that burns your dick,
I am the light that burns your balls,
I am the light that burns your ass,
you creature of darkness, go F**K yourself lar !!
Now, you F**K off,
I rebuke thee,
F**K off !!
Then there was a bright light, a bright brighter than any human eye will ever see, shining from the middle finger of Robin.
"Nooooooo.. arrrrghhhh.. that burns my Dick !! Arrghhhh... it hurts !!! Ahhh.. my balls are burning as well... arrrrrghhh... no no no....... I can feel my ass on fire !! You have not seen the last of me, I am LUKE CHARMAINE the Vampire, mark my words, I will be back.. I will be back !!" Feeling enormous pain from the burning effect of the "light that destroys the shadow" summoned by Robin, the creature retreated from the scene and vanished into the night.
Puki was near her last breath. Robin knew he had not much time left. He knew the person he has loved more than anything in the world would be gone soon. But it was written in the prophesies that Puki Galore was the Chosen One. She was destined to do great things, and save the lives of the million in the future. This was not her time yet. Something has to be done. Something must be done soon.
In every magic that Robin performed, there must be a sacrifice of an equal value made to obtain the object of desire. For example, if you want your dick to be longer by 2 inches, your balls will be shrunk by 1 inch each. Or if you want to be cured of sifilis, you may lose your ability to have multiple orgasms. If the object of demand is of extremely high value, then the price to pay would be extremely high as well. Therefore, in order to bring Puki back to living ordinarily from her dangerously near death condition, there was only one thing to offer for this magic to be performed:
The memory of the person Puki loved and cared most will be erased forever.
Which means, Robin, whom Puki had loved since her younger days, will be deleted from her
Knowing that Puki was all that he would ever cared for, knowing Puki was the only girl in the whole universe that he would ever love, knowing that Puki was not meant to die here, Robin chose to save her.
This time, Robin used his most powerful magical instrument, his 9 inch hard ejaculating staff. As he chanted in God-Knows-What spell, he rubbed his magical staff hard until the wonderous juice of life-replenisher starts squirting out from the center of the staff. In 5 minutes, the juice was sprayed all over Puki, and she glowed in bright yellowish orange light.
In tears, Robin can sense every memory he ever had with Puki slowly drifting away. All those sweet moments, all those sex that they had, all those beautiful times, will all go down the longkang. There was no turning back. He knew that she wont remember him, but that was ok, he just wanted her alive. He cant afford to lose her now. Seeing her well and alive again would make him happy enough. Happy, in such a painful manner.
"and so it has begun" said Robin, in sobbing tone.
To be continued....

Court Hears Sierra Club and Mississippi Power Arguments On Kemper Lignite PlantBy Rhonda Miller | Published 14 Sep 2012 09:00pm |
The Sierra Club is continuing its legal push to stop Mississippi Power from using coal in its Kemper County plant. While a Harrison County judge is reviewing the issue, MPB's Rhonda Miller reports construction on the power plant is moving forward.
During the four-hour legal standoff in Harrison County Chancery Court Friday, Mississippi Power attorney Ben Stone accused the Sierra Club of focusing only on its own agenda.
"They really only want to get rid of coal as any sort of a source of power in the United States of America."
Mississippi Power's Kemper County plant under construction is designed to use a soft form of coal called lignite in a gasification process to generate power. Mississippi Sierra Club President Louie Miller says the technology is expensive and unproven."The way out of this mess, that is a win-win for the company and a win-win for the ratepayers of this state, is to drop the gasification part of this facility, which is the expensive, experimental part of the plan. And then convert this thing to natural gas. It's already wired, they've got two 24-inch natural gas lines going up there to dry out the coal anyway."
While the Sierra Club wants to eliminate the gasification process, Mississippi Power spokesman Jeff Shepard said the company is already setting milestones with construction.
"We moved part of the gasifier into place this week. That is the equipment that will house the technology that will convert the lignite to the gas, which is the premier technology that separates this power plant from, basically, every other power plant in the world."
Mississippi Power said the lignite plant will diversify sources of fuel and save customers money in the long-run.
The Sierra Club is asking the court to reconsider the Public Service Commission's approval for the lignite plant.
Chancery Court Judge Jim Persons said he expects to render a decision in three-to-four weeks. By that time, construction of the lignite plant is expected to be 70 percent complete.

A Kansas State University researcher is studying how religion -- particularly Buddhism -- fits into new forms of virtual reality.
A sociologist of religion from the University of Copenhagen has interviewed 21 young patients diagnosed with a life-threatening cancer about their religious beliefs. She concludes that a cancer diagnosis will not make young people, who are not religious already, turn to religion. But it can confirm already existing beliefs.
Spirituality is not what it once was – that much is certain, according to anthropologist Peter van der Veer. Working at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity in Göttingen, he has examined the significance of the spiritual and its transformation processes in modern societies using the example of China and India. He has found that contradictions to the concept of spirituality are part of this and have by no means stood in the way of an international career. However, many of the modern trends contradict the original idea of spirituality.
Religious practices that strongly control female sexuality are more successful at promoting certainty about paternity, according to a study published in the current issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
A new University of British Columbia study finds that analytic thinking can decrease religious belief, even in devout believers. The study, which will appear in tomorrow's issue of Science, finds that thinking analytically increases disbelief among believers and skeptics alike, shedding important new light on the psychology of religious belief.
Thinking about religion gives people more self-control on later, unrelated tasks; according to results from a series of recent Queen's University study. "After unscrambling sentences containing religiously oriented words, participants in our studies exercised significantly more self-control," says psychology graduate student and lead researcher on the study, Kevin Rounding.

WALWORTH COUNTY (WKOW) -- Authorities are searching for an Illinois man who is wanted for aggravated domestic battery and kidnapping charges.
Walworth police responded to a residence on Williams Street in the Village of Walworth around 12:25 a.m. Monday for a suspicious vehicle parked in a driveway. Police say a 39-year-old woman and Harvard, Illinois resident was in the vehicle. She was injured and taken to a medical facility for treatment.
Less than an hour later, Harvard police responded to a Northfield Court address in an attempt to contact the woman's husband, 45-year-old Jose Enriquez-Hernandez.
Upon further investigation, police say the victim had been with her estranged husband at a Harvard, Illinois residence. Police say the victim was reportedly assaulted and battered at the residence sustaining head and facial injuries. Her husband then drove her to the Williams Street address in Walworth where she was found by herself in the vehicle.
Officials are actively investigating this incident, attempting to locate Enriquez-Hernandez, and seeking an arrest warrant for two counts of aggravated domestic battery and two counts of aggravated kidnapping.
Officials say Jose Enriquez-Hernandez may have a knife and should be considered armed and dangerous.
The Harvard Police Department is asking anyone with information on his whereabouts to call the Harvard Police Department at 815-943-4431, or the Walworth County Sheriff's Office at 262-741-4400, or 911.

Is there an x86 iPad Pro coming (eventually)?
Hey Core,
After today's events, several people noted the parallels between the Mac and iPad branding lines, except for the missing iPad Pro. While two similar iPad names don't necessarily mean a Pro is in the offing, it does present an interesting scenario. Will an iPad which can run OSX programs be coming soon?
Full disclosure: I generally prefer MS products, but, like everyone else, appreciates what Apple does. I mention it because it does color my perspective as you will soon see and to say I am not trolling. I wanted to post this here because you know better if it were possible and could also opine on if you would want one.
When scheduling events, Apple sometimes appear to tip their hand about who they consider a threat. While typically all companies' events seem to come in spurts, Apple seems always to schedule theirs right after a major competitors, knowing they will swallow all the headlines (deservingly so too, Apple in a headline is always good for extra clicks).
Today, they stomped right on Nokia and the Surface's launch date. Now, I understand events of this magnitude take planning and you may not be able book your presentation, which for Apple isn't dependent on a specific venue, in time. In that case, I'll just take my tinfoil hat and go home. But, if the former were true, it means Apple is acknowledging MS as a threat down the road. Since MS isn't one - at all - now, could they be thinking that MS may be onto something by cramming the full Windows 8 into a tablet?
That said, would you want an x86 iPad Pro that an OSX programs too? Being Apple, we're going to assume their accessories (keyboard, mouse/trackpad) will be stellar. And for the technical folks out there, would that even be feasible?
One caveat: Please don't cite previous comments by Apple staff regarding such a product. We all know they will say a market is useless until the enter it (see: iPad mini).

Spring Fever
I think I'm going to come down with a severe case of spring fever. The weather is so nice, my bulbs are blooming, Casey is finally learning the weave and I rather be spending time outdoors hiking or gardening. I've got some deadlines to meet at work which means I'm still putting in extra hours at home and on Saturday. I'm just getting too frustrated and resentful at work. I keep hoping things will get better but they just don't seem to. Arrrgh!

TEAMS: Boston Red Sox
It hasn't been a good week for big league outfielders. News got worse earlier Sunday when the Boston Herald reported that Boston Red Sox left fielder, Carl Crawford, might opt to have season ending Tommy John surgery this upcoming week.
In a similar report from ESPN Boston, information suggests that Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine and the team's medical staff plan discuss the decision Monday with Crawford on whether or not to go forward with the surgery.
According to both reports, Crawford, who injured his wrist during the offseason, has been experiencing lingering pain in his left elbow, this stemming from an injury in April that prolonged his return to the Red Sox until July 17th.
Crawford is having another disappointing year in Boston. Injuries have derailed him in this his second season with the club. In his 113 at bats this season, Crawford is batting .283/.308/.487 with three homeruns and 19 RBI.
Be prepared to work the wire early if Crawford is no longer an option for your team after tomorrow.

With the 27th overall pick, the Phillies have selected:
Jesse Biddle, LHP, Germantown HS (PA)
The local lefty is very tall, standing at 6'6, but he's not yet practiced in the art of controlling it, as his mechanics are rather predictably inconsistent. He's shown the ability to ramp it up to 93 and 94, and he could still push that up another notch or two as he develops his body. Needs work on filling out the rest of his repertoire. He's flashed a change, and he has a big, slow curve, but Biddle could stand to take each of those to the next level. Lots of upside here. It just won't come without blood, sweat, and tears.

Passage of the Amendment to the Constitution of our State has now ensured that the definition of marriage, as the faithful and exclusive union of one man and one woman, and one which is open to the gift of children, is in accord with God's design and in keeping with the very nature of this sacred vocation.

Pesach, or Passover, began Monday evening and for eight days will commemorate the Hebrews' escape from enslavement in Egypt.
It is tradition for the youngest person gathered for a Seder meal, the ritual feast at the beginning of the festival, to ask four questions to unpack the biblical story in Exodus.
"Seder" comes from a word that means "order," so I hope I get this right.
Specifically, there are actually five questions, four questions with an introductory query:
"Why is this night different from all other nights?"
Mah nishtanah ha-lahylah ha-zeh mi-kol ha-layloht, mi-kol ha-layloht?
"Why is it that on all other nights during the year we eat either bread or matzoh, but on this night we eat only matzoh?"
She-b'khol ha-layloht anu okhlin chameytz u-matzah, chameytz u-matzah. Ha-lahylah ha-zeh, ha-lahylah ha-zeh, kooloh matzah?
"Why is it that on all other nights we eat all kinds of herbs, but on this night we eat only bitter herbs?"
She-b'khol ha-layloht anu okhlin sh'ar y'rakot, sh'ar y'rakot. Ha-lahylah ha-zeh, ha-lahylah ha-zeh, maror?
"Why is it that on all other nights we do not dip our herbs even once, but on this night we dip them twice?"
She-b'khol ha-layloht ayn anu mat'bilin afilu pa'am echat, afilu pa'am echat. Ha-lahylah ha-zeh, ha-lahylah ha-zeh, sh'tay p'amim?
"Why is it that on all other nights we eat either sitting or reclining, but on this night we eat in a reclining position?"
She-b'khol ha-layloht anu okhlin bayn yosh'bin u'vayn m'soobin, bayn yosh'bin u'vayn m'soobin. Ha-lahylah ha-zeh, ha-lahylah ha-zeh, koolanu m'soobin?
Each answer recounts a part of the Exodus story, perhaps just a little differently than you may remember Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner portraying it in "Ten Commandments."
The Haggadah focuses less on the drama between odd brothers Moses and Rameses and more on the people's suffering under Pharoah's rule and their great escape. "Exodus" means "departure."
As the story goes, Pharaoh released the Hebrew people after a run of plagues had hardened his heart but eventually broke it with the death of his firstborn son. (This harkens to a punitive and anti-breeding method of his father, Seti, during his time as Pharaoh.)
The people left in such a hurry that they had no time to bake their bread. They grabbed their raw dough and ran, letting it bake on rocks in the desert sun into hard crackers.
Voila, matzoh. First answer.
The Seder plate traditionally includes specific foods: including bitter herbs or vegetables; parsley dipped in salt water; a mixture of apples, nuts and wine; a lamb shank; and an egg.
Eating horseradish hot enough to burn your eyes reminds you that living under an oppressive rule really, really sucks. The second answer recalls Pharaoh's cruelty to the Hebrew people when they were living in Egypt.
The third answer is all about hard labor and again relates to the Seder plate foods. Double-dipping is about relentless tasks, charoset symbolizes the mortar slaves used to build Egypt's great structures, the water is salty like the bitter tears that streamed down faces.
But hope is entering the picture here. The bright green sprig of parsley reminds the faithful that spring is here and new life will begin again.
Jewish celebrants recline to eat, the fourth answer, to be comfortable and to claim their freedom from their slavery.
The Haggadah is meant to encourage children's curiosity about their faith and their people's history.
May it do the same for you.

All Saints Episcopal Church
252 Grand Street, SW corner of Hoffman Street, Saugatuck - Allegan County
Property Type
Historic Use
RELIGION/religious facility
Current Use
RELIGION/religious facility
Gothic Revival
Gordon W. Lloyd
Narrative Description
All Saints' Episcopal Church is a frame, board-and-batten, Gothic Revival structure constructed between 1872 and 1875. The church is a rectangular, steeply pitched, gable-roofed structure with a towered vestibule attached to one corner topped by an open, square belfry with a cross-topped spire. The belfry has a classical cornice and a cusped arch opening on each of its four sides. The vestibule has gabled ends with scalloped vergeboards. The scallop design is repeated on the raking cornices of each of the gables. The upper third of the lancet windows in the nave and sanctuary display quatrefoil and trefoil mullion patterns. A rose window with thick, foiled mullions, surmounted by an ornamental hood molding which corresponds to the pitch of the roof pierces the front facade adjacent to the vestibule. A rectory and parish hall, executed in matching style, were attached to the rear of the church between 1945 and 1946.
Statement of Significance
All Saints' Episcopal Church is a particularly pleasing and well preserved example of the board-and-batten, English-parish-church-type, Gothic Revival church genre of the nineteenth century and the work of Midwest architect Gordon W. Lloyd, who specialized in church architecture. The All Saints' congregation signed its articles of association on November 1, 1868 and was admitted to the Michigan Diocese as a parish in 1869. All Saints' is one of the small number of the remaining examples of architect Gordon W. Lloyd's work and an outstanding example of his more modest-scale church architecture. The church continues to serve as an Episcopal parish church today.

Marker Text
ALL SAINTS EPISCOPAL CHURCH An Episcopal parish was organized in Saugatuck on All Saints' Day, November 1, 1868. Services were held at various locations until 1873. In 1871 the parish purchased this property. Detroit architect Gordon W. Lloyd designed the Gothic Revival-style church building. Although services were first held on January 25, 1873, the church was not completed until 1874. After a period of decline that caused the parish to become a diocesan mission, full parish status was restored in 1946. GORDON W. LLOYD Gordon W. Lloyd (1832-1904) was among the Midwest's foremost church architects. He was trained at England's Royal Academy, under the tutelage of his uncle, Ewan Christian. Lloyd immigrated to the United States in 1858, settling in Detroit. In 1861 he designed Detroit's Christ Church. Among his other churches are Central United Methodist Church in Detroit, Grace Episcopal Church in Mt. Clemens and St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Flint. The design of All Saints closely resembles that of his St. James Church of Grosse Ile.

Overnight RV Parking is OK
Adjacent RV park has on-call shuttle to casino.
Don't forget your leveling blocks.
Veteran's discount. Thank you
In fairness I need to update my comments made May 2010. We were stayed here over New Years 2011/2012 and the buffet has greatly improved. It has undergone a remodel and the food is vastly improved.
Where the RV area use to be has moved to the upper area (GREAT NEWS). Its still a little tight because of all the curbs, but nothing like before. RV's are asked to park at the south side of the upper area. (Great view of the pacific ocean). A shuttle runs (not to often), but you can call for one via your cell phone.
We also got free wifi view the hotel from that upper area. Awesome!
(Mac, I sent 3 photos with this, if they didn't show, let me know how or where to send them)
Slanted rv parking but paved and can stay a long time. Slots tight,they have things for senior players to do. Very convenient shopping within a block. Can see ocean from parking lot and its just a short walk to the beach. No more rv parking below. We only ate at the deli and it was very good. We will return.
Report from Robert S., May 2010
We hit this one on a regular base can't beat the view or the location. Others have mentioned being chased out of the parking lot where it is posted "No RV Parking." Only once did I park in the RV spots and never again. It is impossible to get close to level in it and the access is worse. I always head up to the upper lot above the RV lot and never had a problem. The tour buses park up there and a local drops a truck trailer there too. Security has never bothered me and come around regularly. I did a drive through of the Logan Road RV Park nearby and I'll take the parking lot over it.
The restaurant has a great view but the food at Denny's is better and cheaper. It has really gone downhill the last few years. The buffet is marginal at best. Do your self a favor and eat in your RV.

Thursday was the grand opening of a very unusual school. GRAD Academy Memphis is part of a national program named Project GRAD USA.The scholars there, and that is what they call the students, will focus on science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. The objective at this school, which began operating in August, is to prepare the scholars for college, and more.
MORE: GRAD Academy to open in Memphis August 2013
It is obvious from the moment you enter what used to be South Side High that something special is going on at GRAD Academy Memphis.Several of the scholars made presentations during the opening ceremonies officially launching this new program which will focus on teaching science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. "We've only been open for three months," said Keyundah Coleman, principal. "Now were pretty pleased in terms of again with the scholars progress and what they have been able to show and demonstrate with our 21st Century program."A good example: one of the 190 freshman making up the very first class at GRAD Academy Memphis came out with a school app."We're in a knowledge-based economy right now and everything has a technology - math, science component to it, so even if they are not going to major in that study they have got to be fluent in it," said Darrell Ogden, CEO GRAD USA. "They have got to be immersed in it. Understand how to integrate it into their work that they do. That will be true of whatever work that they will pursue.While GRAD Academy is certainly about graduating, graduating from high school and graduating from college. Ultimately it's about jobs."GRAD nationally moves through 60-percent of the students graduating from grad schools head off to college," Ogden said. "Those students pursue degrees in science, technology, engineering and math; 92-percent higher rated than average students of any demographic group. So that emphasis we have has a huge impact."This founding class of freshmen will be joined by the second freshman class next year and so on until this founding class graduates. By then this GRAD program could be more of a standard than an experiment.

Thread: Priest, thief, and engineer
Priest, thief, and engineer
A priest, a thief and an engineer are all slated to be executed by guillotine. The priest is to be dispatched first and the executioner asks him:
How do you want to face on the guillotine?
The priest responds:
With my face up, looking toward heaven.
The executioner accedes and the priest is laid face up on the guillotine. The executioner pulls the cord; the blade drops, and then miraculously stops within mere inches of the priests neck. The gathered witnesses gasp in astonishment. Everybody agrees that it is a miracle and sign of divine intervention and the priests life is spared.
The thief is next. When the executioner asks how hed like to be positioned the thief responds:
With my face up, looking toward heaven.
The executioner complies, and the thief is laid down face up. The cord is pulled. The blade falls, and, as
with the priest the blade stops inches from the thiefs neck. Again the witnesses gasp. They can understand
a miracle occurring with the priest but with a thief! Nonetheless, they take it as a sign from God, and release
the thief.
Finally, its the engineers turn. Like the other two he wishes to be executed face up, looking toward heaven. The executioner lays him down, but before he can pull the cord the engineer yells out:
Stop! Stop!
The executioner pauses, and the engineer, looking up at the guillotine says, I think I see the problem.
If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger cheater bar.

The time has come to bid a fond farewell to my friends and colleagues at The Sun, to the readers of The Darkroom and to "The Greatest City in America." And with only a year and a half of Charm City living under my belt, I'm amazed at how many quirky photos I uploaded to Instagram and Twitter.
Thanks for the memories, Baltimore, and stay quirky!
Olivia Hubert-Allen 0 Comment Instagrammer Feature, Q&A, The Baltimore Sun Christopher Eyl, instagram, Instagrammer, North Carolina
What makes Christopher Eyl's Instagram feed so mesmerizing is how the pictures display his distinctive view of the world. For this North Carolina-based designer, intersecting lines, contrasting colors, light and texture are often the jumping off points for an incredible picture. Each image he shares is a piece of a greater collection that reminds us that there is nothing unrealistic about abstract art.

Notice a little more orange in your Instagram feed lately? If you were following these folks, it never would have stopped. From the playoff run last October, to the road opener on Tuesday, Orioles supporters from Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, even from New England, have been sharing slices of their fandom, which, appropriately enough, often involves slices of Orioles-themed cake. In this special Instagrammer Feature, meet some of the Orioles fans of Instagram.

Instagram has become one of the most popular ways for people to share their photos online. With more than 50 million users, it is also one of the most popular social networks. Since I started using Instagram last fall, I have taken many photos using the app in and around the city of Baltimore. I tried to use different filters and combinations of light adjustment and the blurring feature to make the pictures I take unique.

'Advising Tips and Techniques' Is Next Topic for 'Provost's Conversations' Series
Three members of the Old Dominion University faculty will lead the next Provost's Conversations on Teaching and Learning, Tuesday, Feb. 8, addressing the topic "Keeping Students on Track: Advising Tips and Techniques."
Leading the conversation will be Jennifer Usis, director of undergraduate advising in the College of Business and Public Administration; Jennifer Younkin, senior lecturer and chief departmental adviser, Department of Psychology; and John Hackworth, University Professor and program director, Department of Electrical Engineering Technology.
The brown bag lunch series program is scheduled for 12:30-1:30 p.m. in the E.V. Williams Engineering and Computational Science Building auditorium (room 1202).
Participants will engage in a lively conversation about the best ways to advise students. The conversationalists believe that the aim of an adviser is to provide an outside-the-classroom experience that supports students' education. Advising, they say, is not just about picking classes, as the Catalog and Degree Works already cover coursework selection. Rather, it is about enriching their college experience and helping them become mature, independent, critically thinking adults.
The discussion will focus on knowing campus resources, understanding basic counseling techniques and encouraging student development.
Usis is Master Advisor certified. Since the late 1990s, she reports that she has worked in "all four compass points of the university." She both directly and indirectly advises the nearly 3,000 business majors, specializing in graduation and academic difficulty.
Younkin teaches, advises and serves as the faculty adviser for Psi Chi (the international honor society in psychology) and the Association for Psychology Students. She has received the College of Sciences' Distinguished Lecturer Award and Outstanding Undergraduate Advisor Award, the Division of Student Affairs' Advisor of the Year Award and Shining Star Award.
Hackworth serves as chief academic adviser for electrical engineering technology. He has been advising and mentoring students at ODU for more than 23 years. He is the "face-to-face adviser" for approximately 100 on-campus students and the "virtual adviser" for about 100 Teletechnet students.

SWANSEA, SC (WIS) -The Calhoun County Coroner has identified a pedestrian killed early Wednesday morning on Interstate 26.
Coroner Donnie Porth says it appears 48-year-old Freddie Guthrie of Columbia was trying to push his vehicle out of traffic after it had broken down in the westbound lane near the 120 mile marker.
The crash occurred at about 2:55 a.m. and shut down the right lane for several hours.
Troopers say a tractor trailer came up on the Ford Taurus that was stopped on the interstate, but didn't see it until the last minute. They say the tractor trailer proceeded to sideswipe the vehicle and hit Guthrie, who was standing next to it.
The crash remains under investigation.

There's been a great deal of speculation about this year's Dynamite!! show -- the annual New Year's Eve spectacular put on by the parent company of K-1 and Dream. Not long ago, New Year's Eve in Japan was unquestionably the biggest night of the year for world-wide MMA. As many as 50 million Japanese fans would tune in for a mix of spectacle and sport featuring stars like Bob Sapp and Bobby Ologun in big draw freakshow matches as well as the best athletes in the sport like Fedor Emelianenko, Mirko Filipovic, aka Cro Cop, Kazushi Sakuraba, Wanderlei Silva, Hidehiko Yoshida and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
Those days are long forgotten. This year the biggest buzz around Dynamite!! is whether or not it will even be aired on network television.
It does appear to be happening though and several fights were made official at FEG's Monday the press conference. MMA Fighting's Daniel Herbertson has more:
It was well short of the 10 fights we were promised, but on Monday at the ANA InterContinental Hotel in Tokyo, FEG President Sadaharu Tanigawa, DREAM Executive Producer Keiichi Sasahara and the newly announced Dynamite!! Executive Producer Antonio Inoki made five bouts official for FEG's end of year effort.
Marius Zaromskis will defend his DREAM Welterweight Title for the first time against Kazushi Sakuraba who will be making his debut as a welterweight at 41 years old; 2010 K-1 MAX 63 kg Japan Tournament Champion Tetsuya Yamato will return to the FEG ring for the first time since capturing the promotion's first belt at that weight limit to face K-1 débutante Akiyo "Wicky" Nishiura; and UFC veteran Caol Uno will debut as a featherweight against Kazuyuki Miyata.
Also made official were the "special rules" bout between DREAM Lightweight Champ Shinya Aoki and cosplayer Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima and the MMA bout between Tatsuya Kawajiri and Strikeforce's Josh Thompson. The bout between Jerome Le Banner and Tatsuya Mizuno has not yet been made official despite the Frenchman's management confirming it last week.
Zach Arnold has the more entertaining behind the scenes gossip:
The big development, if you want to call it that, today was the announcement of Antonio Inoki as "executive producer" of this year's Dynamite event at Saitama Super Arena. If you believe that Inoki would book the kind of fights listed up above, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you. Any how, Inoki will play the Hulk Hogan role of being the face for the event and promising some 'big surprises' for the show.
The bigger political game here for K-1 is Satoshi Ishii. Inoki and his power base (Tatsuo Kawamura) have the juice and hold the cards. I would fully expect to see some of the IGF wrestlers, like a Josh Barnett or Wakakirin the ex-Sumo fighter, get booked. That could also mean a Mark Coleman sighting as well. Intriguingly, a match between Alistair Overeem and Josh Barnett would suddenly turn a (largely) meaningless Dynamite event into a show where Strikeforce would see two major matches taking place between Barnett/Overeem and Thomson/Kawajiri. It would be funny to see those fights happening in Japan as opposed to the States. Michael Schiavello, the HDNet voice for K-1, says that Alistair Overeem "would sodomize Barnett." If they can't book Barnett, the other name being mentioned is Andrei Arlovski.
A source with knowledge of the major television happenings in Japan indicated to me today that Tokyo Broadcasting System will discuss NYE plans for programming by this Friday. (More below.) The same source also noted, when watching the K-1 World GP event from over the weekend in Tokyo at Ariake Colosseum, that the promotion had a lot of little sponsors supporting the show but no big heavyweight companies showing up. Of note was a ring sponsorship by Fashion TV.
Head Kick Legend reports that K-1 and Dream might survive 2010 and keep booking fight cards through 2011:
Head Kick Legend went on to confirm today with Mike Kogan that K-1 has indeed found an investor for at least the upcoming year and things are being worked out right now to solidify the deal. This is gigantic news for the company that has been facing an uncertain financial future after a rough year and a funding deal with Chinese investment bank PUJI fell through in the last minute. The deal supposedly fell through because FEG and PUJI were not seeing eye-to-eye for the future.
In the full entry we'll break down one of the matchups.
Fraser Coffeen has some analysis of the mixed rules fight featuring Shinya Aoki and the cross-dressing kickboxer Yuichiro Nagashima:
How this fight goes depends largely on how they start. If round 1 is MMA, then Nagashima is screwed. Aoki has made a career out of latching on to his opponent, dragging them to the ground, and twisting them until they submit. And as we learned last year, if you don't submit, he'll twist until you break. Many of the sport's best have been unable to stop Aoki's submission game, and an MMA novice like Nagashima will stand little chance of surviving long in an MMA round. I see that going down much like Minowaman v. Errol Zimmerman two years ago.
Where things get interesting is the K-1 rounds. Nagashima has a significant advantage here, but I think many fans are being too quick to write Aoki out standing. Is the Dream champ's standing a weakness? Yes, clearly. But in his weird kickboxing-styled fight with Shaolin, Aoki demonstrated patience on his feet. Combine that with a serious reach advantage and I think Aoki can survive 3 minutes of stand up. And survive is all he has to do because again, once that K-1 round ends, Nagashima is in a world of trouble.
So, is this somewhat of a freakshow fight? Absolutely. And no, it doesn't really have much significance at all. But it is exactly the kind of odd thing that I love about fighting in Japan, and I'm looking forward to the weirdness of it.
I'm far more interested in a possible Alistair Overeem vs Josh Barnett heavyweight bout. With Barnett failing to get his license renewed in California, he might very well be willing to risk his reputation as a relevant top-tier heavyweight against the fearsome Overeem.

J.R. Smith's Chinese team has been mathematically eliminated from the postseason. Smith will be eligible to sign a contract as an unrestricted free agent "shortly after" his team's last regular season game on February 15. There is still uncertainty about where he will land, but Smith will serve as a volume scorer regardless of what team he winds up with this year. He's been connected to the Clippers, Lakers, Knicks, Thunder and Timberwolves. Smith averaged 12.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.6 treys in 25 minutes per game with Denver last season.
This is the first bit of speculation I've heard suggesting the Wolves may be involved in Smith's pursuit - though obviously this smacks of baseless rumor. The idea intrigues me nonetheless.
Two strongly opposed schools of thought to consider here.
1) Smith is immature and batty (could be genetic), and regardless of ability, is too much of a chemistry liability to join a young team fighting for a playoff spot and building for the future.
2) Smith presents exactly the skill set the Wolves need so badly - a scoring, slashing, athletic wing with unlimited range. Let's take our chances.
I lean toward the latter - always enjoyed watching J.R. play, warts be damned. But admittidly, this guy's character and commitment are major concerns. I also know nothing about the kind of contract J.R. will require and if it will make sense to the Wolves' bottom line.

One self-portrait. Every day. For an entire year.
By James Bruntz
I've never been very comfortable in front of the camera. I'm sure most people can sympathize with that. I decided this would be an interesting way to become more at ease on the other side of the lens. It might even make me a better photographer in the end.

Summary: We are a three-generational family (12, 44, 72) and have done a Carnival Cruise every spring break for the last 6 years. Breeze is the best. Great service and activities. Pretty good itinerary except for La Romana. Better than expected food and entertainment. We're booking on Breeze for next spring break, and that says it all.
Embarkation: Really easy. We flew into FLL the night before and had a leisurely arrival the next day around noon. We were on board in 20 minutes WITHOUT Faster to the Fun. We ignored the email that said not to arrive before 1.
Service: Impeccable, and friendly. Great training shows. Personal hearty greetings at every crew encounter. The ship is very clean and well cared for. We still love the singing and dancing that tops off every excellent meal service.
Dining: We were in early service Blush. Missed one meal there because of a late arriving excursion in Aruba, but they allowed us to eat in the late service after others were seated. Table mates with the same issue that day were accommodated in the Sapphire room with others on the flexible time plan. The Lido deck lines were not set up for the many late arrivals on this day, my only complaint. Guy's Burger Bar is good, but probably unhealthy. La Cucina for lunch was OK, but reports from table mates about dinner were better. Vegetarian choices throughout were good. The menu and quality were very good every day.
Entertainment: Loved it!. Good stage shows with great production enhancements that make the 8 person group look like a much bigger ensemble. Good voices and great dancing. The highlight for us was the tribute band #Rhythmnation, appearing in the Ocean Plaza. Excellent vocal and instrumental soloists, a huge repertoire from Woodstock until now, and unflagging energy. They were fully engaged with the audience.
Activities: So many to choose from, or ignore and find the quiet spots on the promenade deck (including several hot tubs), the Library, and Piano Bar during the day. We like the Trivia contests and use them about once a day too meet new people by forming little teams.
Chidlren's Clubs: Our 12 year old loved the Circle C as a meeting spot, but didn't do the activities. She made many friends, through our thoughtful table assignment, and then formed a posse with them and others. She wants to travel with us again next year, as a 13 year-old, so the prognosis is good.

Posted Aug 29, 2013 10:30 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
A West Virginia lawyer charged with attempted murder after a standoff with police at his home–in which he reportedly fired multiple shots but injured no one except himself–is now seeking to get a prosecutor removed from the case.
The reason: The Kanawha County prosecutor, Mark Plants, lives in the same upscale neighborhood as defendant attorney Mark Bramble, 49, and hence could be considered a victim in the case, reports the Charleston Gazette.
The recusal motion filed by Bramble's lawyer, Trent Redman, also seeks to disqualify the prosecutor's office.

Multiple endings Your actions will affect the ending (or route) you take throughout the game. There are a total of seven different possible endings, with one being the grand ending. The best ending you can achieve is Scenario A Paris, France. Get Scenario A In Car 2, diffuse the three bombs using your microfilm picture files. After this is done, go back towards the beginning of Car 2 and climb the ladder. Go through the next door, across the heater bridge, kill the guard, and you should be at another ladder -- this is Car 1. Use the save box at the beginning of Car 1. You will then pick up the assault rifle, grenade launcher add-on, and grenade ammo (you need to make space to get this items -- dispose of your guns, but keep the cigarette case, life kits, and the disc). Go up the stairs and a control panel will appear. Read the memo in the control panel. Go to the left side of the control panel and turn the switch to detach Car 1 from the rest (this must be done to achieve Scenario A). Combine your rifle and grenade add-on to form a grenade launcher and head outside. There is a bomb in the front of the car. Memorize your cigarette case poem and diffuse the bomb. Mason will cut you off in his helicopter. Pull out your grenade launcher and shoot him until he is defeated.

The Dolphins are 3-3, there is no denying that. Can we look at for a moment who we've lost to? The Jets, the Patriots, and the Steelers. To the best of my knowledge those teams are all 5-1 and are probably the top three teams in the AFC, though I'm still on the fence about the Jets. Sure we got blown out in New England, but against the Jets and Steelers we only lost by a combined 10 points. Against possibly two of the best teams in the NFL, that's not too bad.
Yet suddenly there is a movement to "replace Coach Sparano" or "get a coach that can get things done with our talent". I even saw someone start a "Hire Bill Cowher 2011" bandwagon. Newsflash, it took Cowher 15 years with the Steelers to win a Superbowl. I don't think our fans (or any of today's fans for that matter) could take even 5 years without calling for a replacement. Don't believe it? We're only two and a quarter years into Coach Sparano's tenure and a lot of us are calling for him to get a pink slip. But he shouldn't be fired, and let's look at why.
"Did you see how fired up he was to only get 3 points? That shows that he's only satisfied with field goals." is what one poster said earlier today. Oh really? Is that what it shows? To me that show's some passion from your coach. I want a guy that will pick his team up and keep them up. Bill Belichick may be a good coach, but I hate his demeanor. Sparano stays passionate about everything, not just field goals. Did anyone see how angry he was when the Steelers were awarded the ball? Same passion, so don't give me this "he is only happy with a field goal" because if he was a passionless robot his players wouldn't want to play for him. And Sparano does care about getting touchdowns, he even said that the Phins have to capitalize more in his post game press conference.
"It's the head coach's job to ensure that ST play is good, we don't get beat deep, and that there is good play calling." Yes this is true. It is up to the head coach to do these things. But it is also up to coordinators. Plus, it's also up to the head coach to ensure that the QB stays protected, that we can get pressure on the QB, and play well against the run. All things that we've done well this season. Let me ask you something, since 2007, have the Dolphins improved on a different aspect of their game every year? I'm going to say yes. Or secondary was dreadful, sure we still give up a few big plays, but not nearly as many as we used to. We couldn't pass protect, seems like we're doing a pretty good job now, upper half of the NFL in sacks allowed (that is Henne hasn't been sacked a lot). We had NO receiving game, now NFL teams have to gameplan for not only the Beast, but Davone Bess too. Or interior LB play was bad, playing well this season. We are so quick to judge on the negatives, but so easily forget the positives.
"The Front Office and Bill Parcells are the only reason we're any good at all, Not good coaching" Oh yes, the front office that got us this talent. The front office that, some of you may argue, is the only reason our LB core is good right now, or that our receiving core got better. Not because of coaching. Riddle me this then, how come it's the Head Coach's fault that we have poor special teams and depth, but not the front office? If the Front Office is responsible for our strengths, then they are also responsible for our weaknesses. In an attempt to gain this talent (B-Marsh) the front office had to release a lot of core guys that were contributing on special teams (Eric Walden). Parcells and Ireland are responsible for providing the depth needed to have good special teams. When they get stuck with incompetent players like Bobby Carpenter, what do you expect? Don't get me wrong, the terrible special teams plays is definitely Sparano's fault, in part, but no team is perfect, and it's just another aspect to improve upon.
Those of you who think that our Head Coach needs to go is crazy. I'm a firm believer that continuity is one of the core ways that a team wins in the NFL. Especially with Henne continuing to develop, there is no bigger way to set us back than to fire Sparano and hire an all new coaching staff. We would be awful. Right now, at the very least, we are COMPETING with the best teams in the NFL, something that two years ago we wouldn't even have dreamed of. In addition to that the one thing that Sparano knows the best, the offensive line, has been pretty darn good since he has been our head coach. I have my full confidence that Sparano will continue to Coach well and fix issues on the team. Not everything gets fixed over night, yet by this time next year, if not by the end of this year, the Dolphins will be contenders. We aren't the pushovers anymore that were automatic wins on the schedule like we were two years ago.And though we're not the Bills (thank God), if we fire Sparano then it very well might start a downward spiral that forces us to become just like them...winless.
Your thoughts?

No, really.
What he says here makes a lot of sense. I agree with every point he makes, and there are five of them. Maybe I need to check my blood glucose.
Florio's essential point is that the league's performance-enhancing drugs policy is broken, and it will take a lot of fixing. In order to do that, they need to open it up not only to public scrutiny, but to the participation of both the players union and a neutral third party. I would point out that if his fourth point--independent arbitration--were enacted, the Starcaps case would probably have blown over about a week after it became public. If his other points were enacted, certain other cases would have different outcomes: Brian Cushing would never have won Rookie of the Year, for instance. And perhaps thirty percent of NFL players would be looking for new jobs. (That probably includes a lot of Saints, too.)
But perhaps his most important point is what may happen if the NFL chooses to do nothing:
The ultimate goal -- both for the league and the NFL players' union -- should be to keep Congress from insinuating itself into the process, a prospect that likely would result in stiffer penalties, more stringent requirements, and (most importantly) the loss of control over a key aspect of the business of pro football.
And Congress will only mind its own business (or, more accurately, business more important to the fate of the republic than whether athletes are juicing) if the general public has confidence in the manner in which sports leagues like the NFL are minding their own shop.
It's an odd feeling, finding yourself in total agreement with Florio, and against the league. But it's Roger Goodell and the NFL that's the enemy here, and there's an old saying: the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Way to go, Mike. You're still a jerk.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has succeeded in some areas crucial to us all. For example, he seems to have a knack for getting a budget passed on time, which his predecessors in the past 20 or 30 years have found elusive. In this and other matters, he seems to have been able to melt the political gridlock in Albany, an impossibility in previous administrations.
At the same time, he also seems to be able to identify and correct smaller irregularities that may not have the moment of the state budget but are unspeakable aggravations for certain people.
A recent example of this is his order to the State Department of Transportation to arrange work schedules on highways and bridges so drivers confront as little inconvenience as possible.
The Thaddeus Kosciusko Bridge just north of Exit 7 on the Northway brought this to mind. We, in the North Country, are familiar with that bridge, even though it's almost 150 miles south of Plattsburgh. Known as the Twin Bridges, it crosses the Mohawk north of the Capital District.
Unfortunately, the bridge has been the site of a number of accidents that always result in long traffic tie-ups in that section of highway, which is normally congested at its best. During rush hour, mornings and mid-to-late afternoons, the traffic is truly bumper to bumper.
The bridge is now undergoing repair, which we all know will only multiply the congestion and further irritate already irritable motorists.
According to a news release from the Governor's Office, Cuomo has directed DOT to adjust the construction schedule on the Twin Bridges repair project "to reduce disruption and delays for drivers in the Capital Region and motorists traveling to and from the North Country."
The contractor had closed all but one lane of traffic in each direction over the weekend, when, it was thought, volume would be lighter because of the work week being concluded. But the governor was thinking of the large number of vehicles heading out of the Tri-Cities, and back in, over Friday, Saturday and Sunday. He told DOT to be sure the bridge is open by noon Sunday instead of early Monday.

News: UPDATE: Lil Wayne Addresses Controversial Flag-Stomping Footage
Tuesday, Jun 18, 2013 12:15PM
Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne has stepped forward to address controversial footage of him stomping on the American flag during the filming of his "God Bless Amerika" music video last weekend.
According to Weezy F. Baby, the whole incident is a misunderstanding.
"I didn't step on the flag on purpose! It's a scene in a video where the flag drops behind me and after it drop it's just there as I perform," Wayne tweeted Tuesday (June 18). (Lil Wayne's Twitter)
Details of the eye-catching footage and its context surfaced online Monday (June 17).
Lil Wayne trampled the American flag over the weekend ... and there's footage. Weezy performed the stunt while shooting his new music video for "God Bless Amerika" in New Orleans. During the shoot, Wayne begins rapping in front of a giant American flag ... which is released to the ground. After it's on the floor, Wayne continues to rap ... while stepping all over the stars and stripes. The lyrics to Wayne's song are just as controversial ... "My country 'tis of thee / Sweet land of kill 'em all and let 'em die / God bless Amerika / This ole' godless Amerika." (TMZ)
More information on Wayne's video shoot for the I Am Not A Human Being II record also turned up.
Lil Wayne headed back to his hometown of New Orleans to shoot the gritty video for "God Bless Amerika," the new single off his album I Am Not a Human Being II. Weezy wears a "Jesus Saves, I Spend" tank top and Trukfit hat as he performs in front of an American flag on the streets of Hollygrove. It drops to the floor to reveal some of the real faces from his old neighborhood. (Rap-Up)
Last week, Atlanta's DJ Drama broke the news of Wayne working on a Dedication 5 mixtape.
"Yup. D5. Tunechi. Dram. YM. Stay tuned. But pleaaaase.... b patient.," he tweeted June 10th. (DJ Drama's Twitter)
Check out the footage:

Decatur – The Decatur City Council is hearing a proposal for a major water rate hike.
The increase would take place over three years. The increase will not only help better the water treatment plant, but help prevent water restrictions.
Director of Water Management Keith Alexander explains how the rate increase would work "Our average residential water customer pays approximately $26 per month for water service. After these increases the rates would be in the mid $50 range after the three year increase."
Instead of the usual quarterly bill the fee would be due monthly.

It is known around the league the Warriors have long been interested in JaVale McGee. I have been on the fence with what to do with JaVale for a while now and I am still not sure I have an answer. Part of me wants to keep him around because a 24 year old 7'1" center with freak athleticism is so rare and I feel like he is close to becoming a good starting C in the league. The other part of me thinks we should take a chance and send him off before it is too late. The Warriors have some pieces that intrigue me and they obviously have a hole at Center. McGee would fit well with them. I don't want to get into all the needs we have so I am just going to throw out my proposal:
JaVale McGee + Chris Singleton
Dorell Wright + Klay Thompson.
The Warriors get their much needed Center as well as something else they are sorely lacking, a potential defensive specialist in Chris Singleton. The Wiz fill their shooting needs and could slide Klay Thompson in at 2 next year as well as Dorell Wright starting at the 3 right away. I think the warriors might make this move. I would probably throw in a 2nd round pick if we had to. What do you guys think?

Finding the perfect laptop
Alright, so my Asus U36JC is starting to show it's age, and I've been digging around the web to see if I can find a good replacement. So far I've come up dry, so I thought I'd toss this one to you, esteemed Verge readers, and see if you've come across my ideal laptop in your intradigital excursions. Here's my list of features (though none are really essential):
- Performance: I've got a nice desktop for all the heavily lifting, and use my current laptop mostly for coding and web browsing
- Design: I've always been partial to thin and lights for their portability and I'd really like an aluminum chassis, but it really all comes down to durability. My only gripe with my current laptop is the poor build quality.
- Display: I'm not big on multimedia (I've got a desktop for that) but I do enjoy a quality screen. Also, glass is a big plus.
- Keyboard: I really hate Mac keyboards. They're mushy and useless for speed typing. Honestly, the best laptop keyboard I've ever used is on my Asus. It's got a nice, stiff action and great travel. Also, chiclet keys are fantastic.
- Touchpad/Touchscreen: I tend to overuse keyboard shortcuts, so these are pretty much irrelevant.
- Battery: Batteries are important. 6+ hours on light usage is a must.
This laptop would pretty much be the thing I use to write code and browse the web during class. Price isn't hugely important if I can find what I want, but I think below 1200 would be reasonable. So, any suggestions?

Alcester hosted touring side, Biggleswade who had travelled north to play Worcester and Alcester this weekend. They brought with them 22 players and lots of parents. To allow Biggleswade opportunity to field all of their squad we agreed that we would play 3 / 3rds.
Alcester kicked off and Biggleswade secured the first ruck of the game, they then passed the ball along the line into the centres where they were met by Jamie whose tackle forced the knock on for Alcester to get the first scrum of the game.
The ball was not especially quick from the scrum so this meant the touring side's defence was well set, however they were unable to halt Jamie who broke the line with some very strong running. The try was scored under the posts and Stevie duly converted. Alcester were 7 – 0 up with only 2 minutes on the clock.
Biggleswade kicked back to Alcester who knocked on from the restart giving Biggleswade the scrum. Josh O and the rest of the Alcester front row made easy work of the scrum and won the ball against the head. Cameron was pleased to see the ball channelled back through the scrum to his feet; he picked up and ploughed through the Biggleswade defence to score his first try of the match. Alcester had stretched the gap to 14 points with Stevie's conversion and there were only 4 minutes gone.
Biggleswade came back at Alcester and forced a lineout, and then a scrum. Josh O stole another Biggleswade put-in and Alcester played the ball through the hands setting Tom G on his way, Tom was tackled in the Biggleswade 22m. Biggleswade ran the ball back at Alcester but they were met by the 'man mountain' that is Max, with a storming tackle forcing the knock on, Alcester scrum.
Alcester forwards mauled the ball deep into Biggleswade territory and won a scrum. Chris decided to attack the blind-side and was supported by Josh A who made good ground and had the strength and presence of mind to offload to Cameron who was right on his shoulder. Cameron did the honours and scored in the corner. With 16 minutes on the clock, Alcester were now 19 – 0 up and well in control of the game in the 1st 3rd of the match.
Alcester were showing some very good close quarter control and inter-linking passing by both backs and forwards.
Alcester made changes at half time, bringing off Josh A and Ollie and replacing them with Ed and Tom H.
Biggleswade kicked off to start the 2nd 3rd of the match, Alcester knocked on again giving Biggleswade the scrum. Not that it mattered that it was a Biggleswade scrum, Josh O was winning their ball for fun. Alcester were again showing of their passing skills and Dominic got in there with a neat show and go and then fed Tom G who ran in another try in the corner with only 1 ½ minutes gone of the second 3rd. Stevie had a valiant effort at the kick, on target, but just a bit too short.
Alcester kept the pressure on after the kick off and were laying siege on the Biggleswade line, but unfortunately were offside and gave Biggleswade the opportunity to clear their lines.
After only 6 minutes of this 3rd, Dom made an excellent steal at the ruck and Jamie picked up the well presented ball running in the try under the posts.
Alcester continued to land crunching tackles into the Biggleswade attack, allowing the visitors no time to get set. This was a hard day at the office for Biggleswade, but they kept their heads up and continued to make an impact on the game.
Jamie made another good tackle and ripped the ball in contact, offloading to Cameron who 'bludgeoned' his way through to score. Stevie made another fine effort with his kick that was perfectly placed between the posts, just a few yards short.
Jamie and Tom G made way in the centre for Josh A and Ollie, the back line shuffled to accommodate.
The 3rd and final session was got underway by Josh O, the last 20 minutes of U13's rugby for this season. Alcester gave away a couple of successive penalties and Biggleswade were keen to press the advantage.
Alcester were showing the scars of this physical contest that was much harder than the one-sided score line suggested. Stevie getting a nasty knock on his ankle, Josh O and Chris both having to leave the field of play, changes were happening all over the field, Alcester somehow managed to keep their shape and composure.
Biggleswade scrum on the ½ way line, and then through some good play progressing to the Alcester 22m line, Jamie stole the ball in contact yet again. Cameron picked up the ball and ran almost the full length of the pitch to score in the corner.
Biggleswade never gave up, much to their credit. Their never say never attitude was rewarded with a try, well done to Biggleswade.
The added mass in the front row now with Cameron as hooker meant the next scrum saw the best 'HIT' at the engage of the game. Alcester won the Bigglesworth ball again.
Tom G ran the ball most the length of the pitch but was tackled just outside of the Biggleswade 5m line. The ensuing line-out max caught the ball and drove on with support from his pack. Cameron, Henry and Dominic all making breaks off the driving maul. Connor made the telling break and powered over the line with Stevie scoring the conversion to cap off the Alcester scoring fest. What a way to finish the season, well done lads.
The final score was 53 – 5.
