This week marks the busiest time of year at FedEx.
The company forecasted a record high of 280 million shipments moving through the global FedEx networks during the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Drivers like Adam Beckman are busy. Beckman has been driving Waterloo routes for FedEx for nine years. His dad and sister also run routes in Waterloo.
"I enjoy coming into work everyday," he said.
Beckman said days go fast this time of year because of the influx in deliveries.
"There's a lot of Christmas presents," he said. "That seems to be the majority of it, but along with that is the everyday freight that we carry, too. So there's definitely an increase in volume this time of year."
Beckman said organization is key when it comes to managing his 10-hour long workdays and ensuring his customer's deliveries make it to their doorsteps on time.
"It seems simple delivering boxes all day, but it's a lot more different than I had initially imagined," he said.
Beckman said he tries to get into work as early as possible to organize his truck. He has a designated shelf for each box, depending on the address of where it will be delivered.
"It's not necessarily the same beaten path everyday because it's a pretty large area, so I'm going to different houses everyday," he said. "But I have a pretty good idea of the order that I'm going to run my route in."
FedEx Ground recommends holiday packages be shipped no later than Dec. 17 to guarantee delivery with FedEx Ground by Christmas.
After that, premium FedEx Express delivery service will be required, with a last day to ship of Dec. 22.
Additional details on the FedEx delivery schedule can be found here.

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
$70 per 60 minutes
$55 per 45 minutes
$40 per 30 minutes
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, LD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from injury, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness.
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a "life force", and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your life force has simply become unbalanced. I work directly with your energy field to restore balance and flow to your entire system. And once your energy field has been restored to full health, your body will follow.
Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using massage techniques to stretch the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles and bones. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body. Direct myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work. Indirect release applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation and relief from pain.
If you are suffering from nagging pain, numbness, or injury, we can help you. Treatment Massage is for injury rehabilitation, pain reduction and elimination, and increased athletic performance. We are providers for most insurances, and will work with your Doctors to help get you back your quality of life.
Injury Treatment Massage specializes in medical massage therapy that is goal-oriented, result-based, corrective therapy. Putting THERAPY back into massage therapy, we will focus on the following results:
- Permanent pain relief
- Fast injury healing and rehabilitation
- Correction of soft tissue dysfunction, including postural distortions and poor posture
- Increased flexibility and range-of-motion

|Sierer enthusiastic about cancer prevention efforts
|Friday, May 31, 2013 4:29 PM
By JIM LANGHAM • Feature Writer
When Elaine Sierer asked her husband, Roger, to take advantage of a spouse's blood test in March of 2010, his first response was, "Absolutely not, I don't need it, I am in good health."
"Every March the school has a blood screening for employees and their spouses," explained Sierer. "Elaine kept asking me if I wanted one. I kept saying that I didn't need it."
Ten days after the screening, Sierer went with Elaine to an appointment in the office of their family physician, Dr. Wendell Spangler.
"As always, her results were good," said Sierer. "Then I asked him about mine. He looked through it and seemed pretty satisfied until he got to the bottom of the sheet. He had a startled tone in his voice and said, 'Your PSA numbers are up. These numbers are really high.'
"I asked him what he was referring to. I didn't even know what PSA meant. He told me that it referred to the prostate. He said that normal is 4.0 or less and mine was over 11.0. He told me that I needed to get it checked out.
"He directed me to a urologist that comes out to the hospital on Wednesdays," continued Sierer. "That morning before I went out there, I saw on television where doctors have a tendency to over-diagnose sometimes on prostate cancer. I asked the doctor if he minded if I had another test."
The next week, the number was up even more, 13.0. The physician was emphatic to the local businessman that he needed to get things taken care of. A series of biopsies confirmed the cancer diagnosis.
"The doctor told me that I needed to have surgery to have it (prostate) taken out," said Sierer. "He also told me that I had a slow kind of cancer. I asked him how long I had if I didn't have surgery and he told me 10-14 years. I said, 'Well, I would be 80 by then."
Once again Sierer asked for a reference for another doctor to check out possible noninvasive treatment. He was given the name of Dr. Satish Velagapadi, a urologist at Parkview North in Fort Wayne. He explained other alternatives to Sierer, including radiation treatment, which he selected.
After several weeks of treatments, he was given a hormone therapy and informed that he could have hormone problems. He was then referred to Dr. John Crawford, a radiologist at Parkview North, to fine tune the final portion of treatments.
In addition, his body was matched up with a special treatment plan where he would receive 48 radiation treatments.
"Each treatment lasted about seven minutes. It had no after effects," said Sierer. "They told me that (lack of aftereffects) was because I was in such good health otherwise that I was able to tolerate the treatments."
Several months after the disease was originally discovered, Sierer finished his final treatment on Nov. 9, 2010.
"At first I took blood tests every three months for the first year, then every six months. Now I am down to once a year," said Sierer.
Following radiation treatments, Sierer's PSA number had dropped to .03, one of the lowest that the attending physician had ever seen.
But then Sierer's struggle with cancer had emerged in a different place. He had been diagnosed with a type of melanoma on his face.
For that, through a close family friend, Doreen Vance, who worked for Summit Plastic Surgery, he was referred to Dr. Albert Morrison, who observed and treated the melanoma.
Ironically, when skin was grafted to treat the melanoma, it corrected a hearing problem he had experienced in his right ear.
These days, Sierer can't thank enough his wife, Vance and physicians who assisted with his treatment.
"I was such a macho; I thought, 'This will never happen to me,'" said Sierer. "Now, I'm so glad I got in there and got it done. I am thankful to be in the position of a survivor for the Relay; I am honored and I want to tell everyone that if they love their wives, their kids and their grandkids, get in there and get it done.
"I'm living one day at a time; I'm not looking ahead. I'm just living each day the best that I can," Sierer said. "Sure, I've always kept myself busy, but I had to take the time out to get this taken care of. I'm glad that I did.
"I kept insisting that he get the treatments; I'm glad that I didn't give up. He's a good husband and a good father," said Elaine.
"She saved my life; I'm glad that I listened to her, and to everyone who helped and encouraged me along the way," Sierer said.

Updated Thursday, 12 p.m.
Bartow County Commissioner Clarence Brown today released this statement:
"On Friday, Dec. 21, at 9:30 a.m., local churches throughout the county will join in unison to ring their bells 26 times in memory of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy.
"Commissioner Brown invites all county employees that wish to participate to recognize this solemn event with a moment of silence as the bells ring."
Original Report
Cartersville is one of many cities in Georgia encouraging its local churches to ring bells Friday in memory of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
A lone gunman claimed the lives of 20 children, ages 6 and 7, and six adults, including the principal and a counselor, before taking his own. The victims would be honored as churches across the state ring their bells at 9:30 a.m., according to the press release, which in part reads:
"Many cities in Georgia are encouraging their local churches to ring their bells 26 times...in memory of the 20 children and six adults who lost their lives during the tragic school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. As a result, the city of Cartersville would like to make a similar request of our churches. We appreciate the community's consideration and participation as our entire nation grieves over this horrific tragedy."
Georgia's municipal association has helped spread the word, WSB-TV reports, after Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy proclaimed Friday a day of mourning and asked churches there to ring their bells. Churches in other states also have plans to similarily honor the victims.

Kids celebrated Halloween with a safe and fun event in Lawrenceville on Saturday.
The little ghouls and goblins, along with their parents, did a trick or treat trail walk at the Rhodes Jordan Park.
Some kids fell asleep before the festivities began, others had a witches brew of fun on their minds.
Parents told us this could be the safest Halloween event for some obvious reasons.
"If anybody felt as though their lives were in danger we were ready, we were prepared. We had Superman on hand, Spiderman, skeletons. We had them all so we are ready. You bring it we are ready," said Mom Towana Coleman.
Parents say the event is an alternative to going door to door for Halloween.

Whit Swim Teams Swamp Bearcats, Stay Undefeated in NWC
News Release Date:
Saturday, January 14
WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- Helen Jenne and Ashley Jay for the women and Chris Bendix and Karl Mering for the men won two races apiece to power the Whitman College swim teams to lopsided dual meet victories over Willamette Saturday afternoon in Salem, Ore.
NWC Dual
Swim Meet
Men's Score
Whitman 122,
Willamette 60
Women's Score
Whitman 116,
Willamette 73
Despite swimming the last two events as non-scoring exhibitions, Whitman won the men's meet 122-60 and the women's competition 116-73.
The Whitman men stay undefeated on the season, improving to 4-0 in the NWC dual meet standings and 6-0 overall. The Missionary women are also 4-0 in conference and 5-1 on the season.
"We are awfully tired after our training trip (to southern California), and it certainly showed in our times today," Whitman coach Jenn Blomme said.
"But despite some serious exhaustion, we kept the mood up and stayed competitive."
Bendix, a senior captain, notched his two wins in the 400-yard individual medley (4:29.38) and 500-yard freestyle (5:04.67).
Mering, a freshman, led a 1-2-3 Whitman sweep in winning the 200-yard freestyle in 1:44.83. Senior Matt Rowett was second and junior Andrew Roehrig third.
In one of the day's best races, Mering won the 100-yard freestyle in 47.85, nipping junior teammate Galen Sollom-Brotherton by one one-hundredth of a second. Mering's time moves him from eighth to fifth place on Whitman's all-time list for that event.
Earlier in the meet, Sollom-Brotherton coasted to victory in the 1,650-yard freestyle in 17:35.90.
Jenne, a junior, was first in the women's 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle races, clocking times of 26.03 and 56.13.
Jay, a first-year swimmer, won the women's 400-yard individual medley in 5:03.24 and the 500-yard freestyle in 5:30.31. Sara Behrens, a junior, finished second in the 500 free, edging a Willamette swimmer by two-tenths of a second.
Melanie Notari, a sophomore, won the 200-yard freestyle in 2:09.33 while Keller Hawkins, also a sophomore, ruled the 100-yard backstroke in 1:04.97.
Junior Katie Chapman swam the 100-yard butterfly in 1:02.63, setting the pace for another Whitman sweep. Notari was second while junior Genay Pilarowski was third.
Sophomore Claire Collins had the best time (1:13.52) in the 100-yard breaststroke, but she entered the race as an exhibition. Willamette's Erin Parkinson took first in 1:14.14.
Senior Matt Liedtke got the win in the men's 100-yard butterfly in 55.50. Freshman Nic Win was the runner-up with Rowett taking third to complete the sweep.
Other winners for the Whitman men were senior Mitchell Lee in the 50-yard freestyle (22.58) and freshman Kevin O'Leary in the 100-yard backstroke (56.53).
Junior Paul Chang, swimming the 100-yard breaststroke as an exhibition, posted a top time of 1:01.41. Willamette's Chris Whitehead took first in 1:09.70.
The meet opened with Whitman posting victories in the 200-yard medley relays by comfortable margins.
Hawkins, Collins, Chapman and Behrens won for the women in 1:58.41. Sophomore Shunei Asao teamed with Chang, Liedtke and Mering on the men's side for a winning time of 1:41.41.
Whitman teams also had the best times in the closing 200-yard freestyle relays, although they swam the events as exhibitions.
Sophomore Ellen Banks joined Hawkins, Behrens and Jenne for a time of 1:45.23. Asao, Lee, Rowett and Sollom-Brotherton were timed in 1:30.79 in the men's race.
"Overall, it has been an awesome week of training and racing," Blomme said. "We are all looking forward to some tough meets next weekend, our last home meets of the season."
Whitman hosts those meets in the Louise and Paul Harvey Pool in Baker Ferguson Fitness Center. The Missionaries battle Pacific Lutheran at 6 p.m. Friday and Puget Sound at 1 p.m. Saturday.

A Simple Truth
By tony leather, 5th Jun 2012 | Follow this author
| RSS Feed | Short URL http://nut.bz/3h6blv1d/
Posted in WikinutWritingPersonal Experiences
His eyes suddenly had a clarity I'd not seen in more years than I could remember, and I swear that the pale lips drew back in something of a smile, as he raised his withered hand before answering
A Simple Truth
The waxen, prepared flesh that was the death mask borne by the corpse of my father was shockingly unfamiliar. This awful thing wasn't like any memory of him that I had, but more a forgotten exhibit at some waxworks museum that had been dragged out for me to look upon. Even in this chapel of rest, surrounded by the symbols of a faith that had meant so much to him, I could find no comfort.
The only thoughts that ran through my mind were the vivid memories of our final encounter and the life that had gone on before it. His final words would ring forever in my ears and bring a rueful tear to my eye. He had lived a lie all of his life and we'd fallen for it but I couldn't hate him for his belief.
I wish that I could say I was religious, but I can't. It seems that deities the world over have one thing in common. Indifference! Life is whatever you make of it, yourself, and all of us are guilty of being deliberately uninterested in others most of the time. We have so little of that precious gift of life, perhaps three score years and ten. Do we have the time to really care? Does God?
God! With amusement, I recalled the Sunday-school teacher who'd, to my poor Mother's shame, excluded me from classes because my questions were too 'near-the-knuckle' for her. What had she proclaimed, again? Oh, yes. He lives, he loves, and he listens. I didn't believe it.
Members of my family dropped like flies throughout my childhood. Aunts and uncles disappeared. To heaven, mum said, firm in her catholic convictions. I wanted to believe her, but it never seemed to me that this god was either fair or just. Too busy ever to consider the effect of his actions on me, it seemed, and my questions never really got answered. Forgive my skepticism.
Years passed, and I had children of my own. Why is it that your love for your own kids exceeds the love you feel for your family? Dad was such a distant figure, and we never paid much mind to one another, really. No news was good news, that's how we were. Then came the day of the fateful call, and I rushed to his bedside.
I watched, silent and guilty, as life crept, inexorably, from my father's weary body. Demons haunted every laboured breath that his failing lungs gasped with such determination. There was so very much of life that he had still to live. We had so many broken bridges to repair, yet he'd run out of time. Surely no god would ordain that it should be this way?
My mind was filled with the words of an old Maori poem, 'Ran Tanapiri', written three thousand years before Christianity saw the light of day. Such powerful words 'You are your own devil, you are your own god. You fashioned the steps that your footsteps have trod.' He'd done always what he thought was right, knowing that it might cause pain, and he was never an affectionate man.
I stood at the foot of his hospital bed, simply not knowing what to feel. His once ruddy complexion had given way to a sickly pallor that made his face almost blend with the white of the bedsheet, were it not for the insistent Grey stubble around his weak chin. Even now, he seemed aloof in his suffering. I should have wept, but I couldn't
Those Grey eyes, pleading somehow when they had briefly opened, had been shocking in their intensity. Not the shock of retribution. No. The shock of realization that even now, he wanted nothing from me, but to know that I was there. In the face of death, he still couldn't put into words, any more than I, the unsaid thoughts that had been building up for years. It was as if there just wasn't anything to say.
My feet were begging me to listen to their pleas for flight, but I couldn't. Experiences, stacked up like floodwaters behind a giant dam, were clamoring for long-overdue release. Driven by this inexplicable need to express myself to him before the chance was taken forever, I could not move. Frozen in this unwelcome certainty, I waited for him to wake.
He hadn't been a bad father, just an ordinary working man, that was all. So many mouths to feed, and such a low-paid job. To be a good provider had meant that he couldn't really be a dad, but with five siblings to shepherd, which eldest child would have found time to notice?
All at once, I thought I saw a figure, at the corner of my eye, and almost cried out. My mother stood, her eyes lovingly and radiantly fixed on his restless form. Barely five feet tall, her deep olive-colored skin making her look, for all the world, like the gypsy woman she'd so loved to have been. The tight, jet-black curls of that familiar hair around that ever smiling face.
My heart leapt, in joy and dread. She'd died more than thirty years before! A heart attack brought on by severe bronchitis. My whole body shook, as I shivered uncontrollably, not knowing if what I felt was fear or elation.
Tears welled up in my disbelieving eyes, and she slowly vanished behind a veil of salty water. When I shook my head to clear my eyes, she was gone. How many things came rushing to my mind then? Scolding and hugs. Lying prone and screaming with the pain of my swollen appendix, while she mopped my sweating young brow with a damp cloth.
Laying, torn and broken in the ambulance, years later after the accident, and her wanting to hit me in her rage and frustration, despite my pain. Sitting in front of the roaring coal-fire, cross-legged, at her feet, while she stroked your hair. She fed us, fought for us, forced us to learn. Did his job as well as her own, but never once complained that it was beyond her.
Dad simply never noticed that his kids had grown up big and strong without him, until it was way too late. None of us had ever really managed to put our finger on the way we felt. Mum was everywhere in our lives, a fiercely protective shield that he couldn't penetrate. Then, without warning, she was gone, never to see any of her grandchildren. God, she would have spoiled them rotten.
There was a groan from the bed, and he at last began to stir. Would there be time to put into words the feelings of a lifetime left unshared? He had a right to know what he'd chosen to miss and yet I couldn't help but ask myself if he really would care at all. His children hadn't wanted to feel the barbs of his self-recrimination One-by-one; they'd left to make their own way in the world.
"Son....", came the sudden, weak word from the bed which had me red-faced with shame. "I'm really glad to see you...", he continued, very faintly.
"It's been so long dad, and I have so much to say," I faltered, in reply, concerned that his breathing was even more strained, "we've never had the best of relationships. Perhaps it's time for being honest with each other."
His eyes suddenly had a clarity I'd not seen in more years than I could remember, and I swear that the pale lips drew back in something of a smile, as he raised his withered hand before answering.
"Honest about what, son? What do you think you can tell me that I don't already know? All my kids are doing fine without me, and that's all I ever wanted." His breath was rattling through ruined lungs, but his tone was final.
I looked hard into that face, looking for a sign, but saw none. In exasperation I almost shouted,
"What about love dad? Was it so hard to show us all how much you cared? You pushed us away. Made us leave. Why did you always seem so distant?"
"Think about it, son. You all finished up independent because of that, willing to fight your own battles in life. I did; do care about you all, in my own way, but you needed to stand by yourselves. I did the right thing."
His hand reached for mine. I, too, have kids, and though I love them dearly, one day I will have to let them go. His eyes fixed on mine as he continued, with the last words I ever heard him say.
He died moments later and I grieved as much as I had on finding my mother dead in her bed twenty years earlier. He was so right, if you look deep inside yourself and ask what matters most in the world. This is what he said.
"Life is the most precious gift of all and everything else is a bonus. Children are all we can truly hope to leave behind and they need to know the one truth that everybody tries to hide from. Love is truly nothing more than a lesser degree of indifference."

On Saturday, September 19, 2009 the Diocese of Raleigh Office of Vocations hosted its first Vocation Liaisons Day at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Raleigh. Representatives from 22 parishes and schools attended.
This year, the Office initiated a Liaison program, in which lay men and women, appointed by their pastors or principals, assist the Office of Vocations in the work of promoting and encouraging vocations in the Diocese. They assist by praying for an increase in vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life and by being the point of contact for the Office of Vocations with the parish or school.
Vocation Liaisons Day began with a Mass for Vocations celebrated by Father Ned Shlesinger, Diocesan Director of Vocations. The morning presentation included a detailed explanation of the work of the Office by Father Shlesinger. Staff members Brad Watkins and Sara Edwards described the resources available from the Office of Vocations and gave the Liaisons a preview of the new Vocations website (www.raleighvocations.org).
The afternoon session included presentations by current Vocations Liaisons Michele and Tristan Evans and Deirdre and Gerry Schuetz. The Evanses discussed their work as Vocations Liaisons at Saint Michael the Archangel Church in Cary and the blessings they have received in their ministry.
Deirdre and Gerry Schuetz, Liaisons at Saint Joseph Church in Raleigh, explained the importance of promoting vocations in the domestic Church; be it the family or the larger parish community. Not only do the Schuetzes act as Vocations Liaisons in their parish, but they are also the parents of Michael Schuetz, a second-year college seminarian for the Diocese. Their talk was a very personal presentation on what they believe created the supportive environment in which their son was able to discern his call to the Priesthood.
Bishop Michael F. Burbidge shared with the group his own vocation discernment as well as his experience and insights as a former rector of Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia and as Bishop. He explained how Vocations Liaisons can be of great service to the Diocese in meeting its ever growing need for Priests and Religious.
Currently 60 lay men and women are involved in the program. Anyone interested in learning more about the Vocation Liaison ministry should contact their pastor.

City of Ely's hopes of a national double are still alive after they progressed to the latter stages of the Egham Trophy and Yetton Trophy.
But their dreams of continuing a three-pronged title quest stage were brought to an end with defeat in the Denny Cup.
There was delight for the Ely women as they beat Riverain 68-67 in the Yetton Trophy.
In the closing stages of the match, the lead changed hands on several occasions. In the home rinks, Sarah Seymour won by five shots but Catherine Popple lost by two.
In the away rinks, Sarah Matthews suffered a 20-13 defeat and the scores were level with Ellen Falkner playing her last end, and holding a narrow four-shot advantage. With the last bowl of the match, Falkner secured victory for Ely by a single shot, 68-67, to set up a semi-final against York on April 20 at Darlington.
Captain Seymour said: "We managed to slip in by one. It went down to the last bowl and it was a very tight game.
"There was never any more than five in it from start to finish.
"It was as we expected but we were very pleased to come away with a one-shot victory."
In the Denny Cup, holders Ely faced Wey Valley for the third consecutive year but they lost their title. Andy Easy's rink secured a convincing 29-14 win, but Ely were beaten in the remaining three rinks, and in the overall match by seven shots.
"We have played them four times in a row and we beat them twice in a row and now they've beaten us twice in a row," said captain Matt Marsden.
"They played slightly better throughout, to be fair to them, and probably deserved the win on the day.
"We have a progressive, young, up-and-coming Denny Cup team and we have to accept that it may take them a year or two to start winning championships again.
"As a captain, you have to accept that it will take them some time to land the result. It was a good fighting performance by all but it was just not quite enough."
The men then combined with their female colleagues in the quarter-final of the Egham Trophy to face Desborough, who had won the competition for the last three years.
But Ely were always in command and in the closing stages of the match, Nicky Brett was in dominant form away from home and Andy Easy was scoring heavily in the closing stages to help earn Ely the 83-57 victory.
Marsden said: "We've played Desborough the last three years and they have beaten us all three times and they've gone on to win it all three times so beating them was very sweet.
"We pretty much dominated from the first end really and it gave us that cushion all the way through the game.
"Nobody let anything slip and everybody performed excellently. It was a fantastic feeling to beat them. There is no love lost between the two clubs. When you beat someone like that it makes it twice as satisfying."
Ely now face Hartlepool in the semi-finals of the Egham Trophy on March 2 in Nottingham.
Denny: Home – M Marsden, J Easy, I Brown, G Harlow lost 23-14; B Akroyd, D Spring, E Elmore, A Easy won 28-14. Away: J Smyth, D Moss, S Popple, A Ware drew 16-16; R Elmore, I McWhinney, M Jackman, N Brett lost 25-17.
Yetton: Home – S Gove, S Roberts, R Easy, C Popple 16 G Walker 18; K Harlow, B Harlow, A Knott, S Seymour 17 J Hughes 12. Away – H David, M Reeder, P Turner, S Matthews 13 S Page 20; C Day, M Cross, J Lowe, E Falkner 22 A Fabris 17.
Egham: Home – K Harlow, S Seymour, I Brown, G Harlow won 20-14; S Gove, E Falkner, E Elmore, A Easy won 25-15; P Turner, C Popple, M Jackman, N Brett won 22-9; C Day, S Matthews, S Popple, A Ware lost 19-17.

While New Year's Eve often brings a party, the new year itself often brings great hopes for change and growth. If you're a college student, the new year presents the perfect time to set some resolutions that can help make your academic year more positive, productive, and enjoyable. But what exactly are good New Year's resolutions for college students?
Good New Year's resolutions, of course, are not just those that address the things in your life you'd like to change or improve upon; they also are realistic enough that you're more likely than not to stick with them.
1. Get (a specific number) of hours of sleep a night. Being specific about your goals for the new year -- for example, "get at least 6 hours of sleep a night" instead of "getting more sleep" -- helps make your resolutions more tangible. And while college life is hard and often sleep deprived, making sure you get enough sleep each night is critical for your long-term success (and health!) in school.
2. Get (a specific amount) of exercise each week. While finding time to exercise in college -- even for 30 minutes -- can seem impossible for many students, it's important to try to incorporate physical activity into your college life routine. After all, those little 30 minutes at the gym can give you more energy throughout the day (and week). Make sure your goal is specific, however; instead of "go to the gym," make a resolution to "work out for 30 minutes at least 4 times a week," "join an intramural sports team," or "work out 4 times a week with a work-out partner."
3. Eat healthier at each meal. College life is notorious for its unhealthy food options: greasy dining hall food, bad delivery, ramen noodles, and pizza everywhere. Make a goal to add at least something healthy at each meal, like at least one serving of fruits or vegetables. Or cut out (or at least down) on your soda intake. Or switch to diet soda. Or cut down on your caffeine intake, for example, so that you'll sleep better at night. No matter what you add or switch, doing little changes every time you eat can lead to big differences.
4. Cut down on your cocurricular involvement. Many students are involved in all kinds of clubs, activities, and teams that meet regularly on campus. And while this cocurricular involvement can be good, it also can be detrimental to your academics. If you need more time, are struggling in your classes, or just overall feel overwhelmed, consider cutting down on your cocurricular involvement. You might be surprised at how much better you feel with an extra hour or two a week.
5. Try something new/step out of your comfort zone at least once a month. Chances are, there are things happening on your campus 24/7. And many of them are on topics or involve activities that you're not at all familiar with. Challenge yourself a little to try something totally new at least once a month. Attend a lecture on a topic you know nothing or very little about; go to a cultural event you've never heard of before; volunteer to help with a cause you know you should learn more about but just never looked into. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy yourself!
6. Don't use a credit card for things you want -- only use it for things you need. The last thing you want in college is to be saddled with credit card debt and the accompanying monthly payment you're required to make. Be very strict about your credit card use and only use it when it's absolutely necessary for things you need. (For example, you need books for your classes. But you don't necessarily need -- although you might want -- those expensive new sneakers when the ones you have can last another few months.)
7. Finish your papers at least one day in advance. This may sound completely unrealistic and idealistic, but if you look back at your time in school, when have you been the most stressed? Some of the highest-stress parts of the semester come when major papers and projects are due. And planning to do something the night before is, quite literally, planning to procrastinate. So why not plan instead to finish a little early so you can get some sleep, not be as stressed, and -- most likely -- turn in a better assignment?
8. Volunteer at least once a week. It's super easy to get caught up in the little bubble that is your school. Stress over papers, the lack of sleep, and frustration with everything from friends to finances can quickly consume both your mind and spirit. Volunteering, on the other hand, offers you a chance to give back while also helping you keep things in perspective. Added bonus: You'll feel awesome afterward!
9. Take a leadership position on campus. Things may become a little too routine for you during your time in school (especially during the Sophomore Slump). You go to class, go to a few meetings, maybe work your on-campus job, and then ... do it all over again. Aiming for a leadership position, like being an RA or on the executive board of a club, can help challenge your brain in new and exciting ways.
10. Spend time with people outside of your college friends. Granted, this may need to be done electronically, but it's important. Spend time Skyping with your best friend from high school; let yourself chat online with people who aren't at your school; call your siblings every once in a while to check in and hear about things back home. While your college life may be all consuming now, it will be over before you know it ... and the relationships you've kept with the non-college people in your life will be important once you're officially a college graduate.
