Simply Faithful
Marketta Gregory never meant to be a columnist. \x34I trained to be a newspaper reporter -- one who tried to her best to be objective. I covered religion for a few years and felt like it was the best job a curious woman like me could ever have. Every day I got to listen as people told me about the things that were most important to them, the things that were sacred. But the newspaper industry was changing and few papers could afford to have an army of speciality reporters. So, I moved to cover the suburbs where, as luck would have it, they have plenty of religion, too. Eventually, children came into the picture. One by birth and another two months later by foster care/adoption. I struggled to chase breaking news and be home at a decent hour, so I made the move to what we journalists call the dark side: I took a job in public relations. (Don't worry. I work for a great non-profit, so it's not dark at all.) When I gave my notice at the Rochester (NY) Democrat and Chronicle, the executive editor asked me to consider writing a column on a freelance basis. She didn't want the newspaper to lose touch with its religious sources, and she still wanted consistent faith coverage. I was terrified. It took me about 10 months to get back to her with a solid plan and some sample columns. And so it began, this journey of opening up my heart to strangers.\x34

In this 40-day series we've mainly shared stories that are non-fiction, but sometimes great fiction shares great truth and hope. Cathy Gohlke's latest novel,
Band of Sisters
, tackles the very real problem of human trafficking. Read on to see the role hope plays in the lives of her characters — and what they are able to accomplish by trusting God…
In "Band of Sisters" the problems seem so large and overwhelming. It's clear that many of your characters had strong faith, but what role, if any, did hope play in tackling those problems?�
Maureen O�Reilly desperately hopes to escape Ireland and the abusive landlord and his son that plague her and her younger sister.� She hopes they can begin anew, building a life in the new world with the help of their father�s benefactor.� But trouble begins at Ellis Island, and is compounded when they learn that their benefactor has died and his son-in-law refuses to acknowledge the debt.� Alone and impoverished in New York City, the dangers for the young immigrant women mount. Meanwhile, a group of Manhattan women, led by the deceased benefactor�s daughter, seek to follow in Christ�s steps by embracing the poor and needy, and helping immigrant women.� Despite danger, hurt, doubts and fears, Maureen learns that the source of love and hope is not something she can force or create for herself.� Hope is found in Christ Himself�the Christ she comes to know and trust through the ministries of her growing band of sisters. Together, the women�poor and wealthy, immigrant and native born�hope to make a difference for all women by following in His steps.
Even though this is an historical novel, it addresses something that we continue to struggle with today. What do you hope this novel accomplishes?�
This book was born of a passion to end modern day slavery, and most of all to ask, what can I do to help in a need so desperate?� I hope readers will be inspired to ask this same question, and to follow in Christ�s steps by helping those caught in the web of human trafficking. We can�t solve the problem in our own strength, but through Christ and by His strength and grace we can all do something.
Why is hope essential — in a story plot and in our lives?
Real life is tough.� It�s full of conflict�all fodder for a good story�fiction or non-fiction.�
Without hope we can so easily despair and quit. �But we�re made to do hard things, to take stands, to overcome through Christ.�
Hope is what spurs us on�hope while we persevere; hope to achieve whatever God has placed on our heart to work toward, or in our hands to accomplish; hope for those we love; hope for peace for all; hope in victory; hope for hearing at the end of our course, �well done,� by the One in whom we live and move and have our being.
Cathy Gohlke is the two-time Christy Award�winning author of
William Henry is a Fine Name
I Have Seen Him in the Watchfires
, which also won the American Christian Fiction Writers� Book of the Year Award and was listed by Library Journal as one of the Best Books of 2008. Her book
Promise Me This
was released in February 2012, and
Band of Sisters
was released in September 2012.
Cathy has worked as a school librarian, drama director, and director of children�s and education ministries. When not traipsing the hills and dales of historic sites, she, her husband, and their dog, Reilly, make their home on the banks of the Laurel Run in Maryland.

Hi Russ, I would like to thank you for all your help with my order. I just ordered it with the direct link you gave me. Could not have been easier. If I'm as happy with this piece as I think I will be , next will be the Double Captive Curved Barbells . That piece looks awesome too. Like I said earlier, I order a 2 ga circular barbell from Chain gang many years ago and have been VERY happy with the quality of jewelry from ya'll. Keep up the great work and thanks again.

• For $27, you get a 30-minute moisturizing facial (up to a $55 value). • For $30, you get a one-hour deep tissue massage (up to a $60 value).
After moving to South Carolina to attend Sherman College of Chiropractic, Doctor of Chiropractic Katie Supik Resick returned to her native northern Pittsburgh and opened Optimal Health & Wellness Chiropractic Center. There, she and her staff help alleviate all types of pain, including those from injuries and conditions. Because no two patients are alike, treatment plans can include chiropractic adjustments, nutritional counseling, fitness routines, massage therapy, or a combination of each.
Full Spectrum Self was born out of a desire to explore tools of balance and ways to share them with the world.
Large silver letters spelling Aveda march down a patterned wall, announcing the spa's dedication to natural ingredients and aromatic botanicals. Multihued walls and verdant plants surround chairs as the staff performs hair coloring, nailcare, and spa treatments. The spa also offers off-site wellness coaching, proven more effective than hearing an ear-piercing whistle every time one reaches for a donut. Stylists and aestheticians stretch their hours until 8 p.m. on weekdays to accommodate busy clients, who also get incentives, such as 15% off Aveda products in return for donating haircare items to charity.
Despite New You Medspa's name, its staff members don't totally transform their clients?the "new you" they create is the old you, subtly rejuvenated and polished. Their exact approach varies from client to client, based on an initial consultation. For some, they smooth away wrinkles with Botox and other dermal fillers; for others, they brighten complexions with SkinCeutical peels, using key ingredients such as salicylic acid and hydroxy acid.
From the outside, Resolutions Med Spa has the look of a rural country house––a quality that continues inside to its pastel-hued walls, wood accents, and plush, high-backed pedicure sofas. Amid these cozy accents, guests may partake in a mélange of beautification services, ranging from microdermabrasion and chemical peels to waxing and makeup consultations. The spa also employs a licensed massage therapist who can ease chronic tension with hot-stone therapy and restorative deep-tissue bodywork.

When average-guy Jeff (Kyle Davis) learns he's related to world-famous "weird fiction" writer H.P. Lovecraft—and that he's the very last leaf on the Lovecraft family tree—he gets drawn into a plot to keep an ancient artifact out of alien hands. If he fails, the nefarious Starspawn (Ethan Wilde) could harness the relic's power to summon the alien god Cthulhu. And if that happens, the whole universe is at risk.

Solar Control Window Tinting swathes panes in professional films that diffuse sunlight and maintain even-keeled climates in cars, homes, and offices. Residential and commercial windows don sheer or dense privacy films from brands such as 3M and Piper, which block up to 99% of UV rays, trap warmth in the winter, and block heat in the summer, keeping energy consumption in check and environments comfortable. The coatings also protect art and upholstery from sun damage, and can reduce the number of flying shards should storms or soprano houseguests shatter windows.
Solar Control's techs apply the same surface savvy to car windows, precision-cutting film to fit individual panes or covering vulnerable auto paint with weather-resistant urethane film. While technicians work on rides at the company's headquarters, drivers can settle into plush couches, peruse satellite TV channels, and join a free WiFi network in the waiting room.
What began in 1984 as a home business with a single phone has grown into a go-to source for women's apparel with retail stores across the country. Headquartered in Sandpoint, Idaho, Coldwater Creek curates a varied selection of elegant but comfortable clothing, ensuring closets stay stocked with more than just the relatives who only get pulled out around the holidays. You'll find everything from sweaters and jackets to jeans and dresses, as well as jewelry, handbags, and other extras for accessorizing new outfits. And if you can't make it to one of Coldwater Creek's physical locations, just head to the website to find the perfect cardigan, cashmere sweater, or pencil skirt.
Wild Birds Unlimited stocks a wide variety of supplies to please serious hobbyists and ornithological amateurs alike.

They also carry high-quality feeding equipment, birdbaths, and viewing gear such as binoculars and books on various species and their native regions.
Surrounded by yellow walls, lushly patterned drapery, and large gilded mirrors, the savvy stylists at Le Beaute' Boutique create chic coiffures with cuts, color, and other hair services. Tress wranglers tame wild follicles with a haircut ($42+ for women; $22+ for men) and concoct curls with nothing more than a wink of a third eye during a perm ($75+). Clients can stand out in a crowd of monochromatic manes with a partial foil highlight ($65+) or prepare for a stint in the witness protection program with a full-color change ($47+). Updos ($40+) glam up head hair for special events, such as proms or a driver's license exams.
The bakers at Mrs. Fields blend pure vanilla, real butter, and whole eggs to craft cookies made from the same recipe the shop has used for three decades. A 16-inch customized cookie cake teems with chocolate chips and is topped off with a personal message inscribed in frosting to commemorate a birthday, anniversary, or the release party for the Cookie Monster's memoir. Alternatively, gift recipients can pry the lid off a signature holiday tin to reveal a vault stuffed with two dozen chewy cookies and brownies. Patrons sate cravings for saccharine sustenance with a panoply of cookie flavors, including double chocolate, cinnamon sugar, and macadamia nut.
To call The Body Shop a mere skin and body care store is to miss half of what makes it special. Late founder Dame Anita Roddick was a pioneer for ethical business practices; upon opening her first store in Brighton, England, in 1976, she developed company values such as "Defend Human Rights" and "Protect The Planet." She somehow balanced principles and profit, partnering in global campaigns with UNICEF, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, and the United Nations, all while ultimately expanding her brand into 2,500 locations in over 60 international markets. After her death in 2007, then-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said, ?She campaigned for green issues for many years before it became fashionable to do so and inspired millions to the cause by bringing sustainable products to a mass market. . . . She was an inspiration.?
Indeed, the Body Shop exhibits an eco-friendliness and social consciousness that's hard to come by in a company of its size. Its products have been fair-trade since 1987, and its Against Animal Testing movement led to an EU-wide ban of animal testing of cosmetics. The products are made from ingredients harvested from around the world: shea butter from Ghana goes into body scrubs and butters, and Indian artisans craft wooden massagers and tote bags that are screenprinted by hand. But all that isn't to say the company's production practices overshadow its final products. Skincare treatments such as the brand?s iconic body butters, facial products, and gift collections often appear in Allure, Marie Claire, Lucky, Seventeen and other national publications.

Jay McClement was a penalty-killing force this season and added eight goals to boot. (Photo by Graig Abel/NHLI via Getty Images)
2013-05-08 12:00:00
When the Toronto Maple Leafs signed UFA Jay McClement to a two-year, $3 million contract on July 1, 2012 they knew they were getting a reliable checking-line center and it's safe to say they got what they expected and then some. His eight goals and 17 points were a bonus. McClement has proven his worth in the defensive zone and on the penalty kill.
THN's Adam Proteau caught up with McClement leading up to the Leafs' Game 4 matchup with the Bruins to discuss avoiding costly mistakes, learning on the fly and more.

Georgia Gould Wins Bronze Medal In Mountain Bike Cross-Country Race
Originally published on Sat August 11, 2012 11:25 am
U.S. cyclist Georgia Gould has won bronze in the women's mountain bike cross-country race. The gold medal went to France's Julie Bresset, who led from the start. Sabine Spitz of Germany won silver, after a late spill caused her to lose contact with Bresset.
Bresset finished a minute ahead of Spitz, at 1:30.52. Gould, the four-time U.S. national champion who lives in Idaho, trailed Spitz by six seconds. The American cyclist was featured here on The Torch before the games began.
In a video interview posted online by Neal Rogers of Velo News, Gould described her feelings after the race.
"There's people at home that got up at 4 o'clock, to watch me," she said. "So, I'm glad I didn't let them all down. Or maybe I did — maybe they were hoping for a gold. Sorry, guys!"
Rogers then asked what it was like to win the medal in front of her family.
"It's hugely emotional. You put so much work into it. It is just another race, but at the same time, it's not just another race," Gould said. "It's a race that everyone's shooting for, and everyone's peaking for. And, you just hope that the preparation that you've done is enough to give you what it takes on the day."
In NPR's interview with her, Gould recalled the early days of her racing career:
"My husband and I were driving to all of the races in a 15-passenger van with a futon in the back of it," she said. "I mean, it was totally shoestring, budget camping at the races, and I definitely was pretty broke that year."

Ron Van Straten: CRE Guide - Take 5
Ron Van Straten, a grant specialist at Graef, helped line up a $1 million state grant for Oak Creek to clean up the former Delphi factory site where Drexel Town Square is proposed.
Van Straten's job at Milwaukee-baed Graef is to help local governments compete for state and federal grants to clean up contaminated sites for redevelopment. Beyond lining up $30 million in grant funds for third parties in his 20-year career, he is an active real estate investor.
Van Straten answers questions from The Business Journal on how he lined up the Delphi site grants and the level of interest in cleaning up other contaminated sites in southeastern Wisconsin for new development.
Q: How much competition is there for the state brownfield grants?
A: "The Blight Elimination Brownfield Redevelopment program administered by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. has become an attractive grant program for promoting development on previously contaminated sites. Competition has increased, but there is still plenty of money available for good projects. Statewide the program generally budgets about $3.5 million per year and awards 10 to 15 projects."
Q: How did you help put together the package for the Delphi site cleanup?
A: "The Delphi manufacturing site in Oak Creek represents huge potential for redevelopment in Milwaukee County. While the BEBR grant program generally requires commitment from a private business for substantial job creation, we were able to convince WEDC that the grant participation would result in private investment once the contamination was removed from the site, even though there wasn't a specific private business to point at. The city of Oak Creek was willing to take an aggressive approach on the redevelopment efforts, and was prepared to match state grant funding to help redevelopment efforts on the site. In the end, we were able to secure $1 million of BEBR grant assistance and $150,000 of grant money through the site assessment grant program for site cleanup. Oak Creek has committed to invest $17 million for property purchase, infrastructure improvements, and remediation efforts to be used as match funding for the grants.

BEIRUT: Cable television provider Sama threatened Thursday any cable provider or TV channel that attempts to broadcast World Cup 2014 without its consent, while Lebanese wait for any news about Tele Liban's deal.
The cable provider, who had bought the exclusive right to broadcast the World Cup from beIN sports, threatened to prosecute whoever shows the matches without its permission.
"Re-broadcasting the World Cup 2014 matches without a license [from Sama] is a violation of the company's rights," said a statement released by the company today.
"It will lead broadcasting networks and cable network owners to be legally prosecuted over civil and criminal charges," it continued.
Qatar's state-owned BeIN, the new name for Al-Jazeera's sports channel, has the distribution rights to the 2014 World Cup. Currently, Sama is the only one with the rights to air the World Cup in Lebanon and plans on charging $110 for the full package.
Youth and Sports Minister Abdul-Muttaleb al-Hinawi announced last month that Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani had promised Lebanon that Tele Liban, Lebanon's state-sponsored TV channel, would be able to broadcast the World Cup 2014 scheduled to start Thursday.
However, Tele Liban's Director Talal Makdessi expressed his pessimism about the chances of airing the World Cup earlier today.
"The Lebanese state got a promise from [Qatar's emir] to be given permission to broadcast World Cup games ... and the case is now in the hand of the youth and sports minister," Tele Liban Director Talal Makdessi told the Voice of Lebanon radio station. "There is no final contract up to the moment, there is a promise that could get implemented and may not, and I think it is not going to be implemented."
Makdessi accused the Lebanese state of reluctance in following up on the issue and urged it "to fulfill its duties in this regard."
In a statement later during the day, Tele Liban's board of directors issued a statement saying it is "still waiting for the Qatari Emir's gift to broadcast the World Cup games."
The statement said that the channel did not discuss any financial charge with Al-Jazeera Sports in exchange for broadcasting the games.
If Tele Liban gains the rights to broadcast the World Cup, they plan to air it free of charge.

The Elevate's three program settings are as follows:
Normal facial--six minutes
Relaxing facial--six minutes
Intensive facial--four minutes
All the settings are designed to help increase circulation thus removing waste matter from the muscle fibres at the same time as nourishing and regenerating the skin cells. The positive effect of using the Elevate (either a few times a week or each day) is a clear, toned, firm and glowing appearance. The Elevate Facial Toner has been specifically developed to treat the face and neck muscles, which cannot easily be exercised. The Elevate has three program settings and set program times for the treatment depending on which program you use. These have been incorporated into a superbly designed modern unit to make the treatment as effective as possible while fbeing simple to operate.
The Elevate uses EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) technology, which electronically reproduces the impulses normally sent by the brain, causing the muscle to contract at a controllable rate. Gentle, passive treatment with the Elevate tones up tired muscles and stimulates the supply of blood to the skin and tissue, thus nourishing the cells and disposing of toxic substances. This combined effect actually helps to slow down the appearance of the ageing process. The Elevate unit is to be used with a water based moisturiser (not included) as the moisturiser acts as a conductor for the electronic impulses. We would recommend The Beauty-Works 'Sleek Cheeks moisturiser' to be used in conjuction with the Elevate Facial Toner, however, any water based moisturiser can be used. Just check on the label of your own moisturiser that the first ingredient is "Aqua" and this will be a suitable alternative.

Five To Watch At The 2013 CIMB Classic
Power Rankings: 2013 CIMB Classic
For those of you who enjoy staying up late to watch your golf, this week should be right up your alley.
This week's event is the CIMB Classic, coming to you from the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club in Malaysia. Television coverage begins on the Golf Channel at 10:30 PM Eastern time on Wednesday night, or 11:30 AM Thursday, if you stuck around after Lexi Thompson won at this very course two weeks ago on the LPGA Tour.
Many fans of the PGA Tour may not be familiar with the CIMB Classic, a tournament which is in only its fourth year of play. It has actually been an official tournament on the Asian Tour every year, and it started as a 40-man invitational, with 25 slots going to the top available PGA Tour players, ten to the top players in the Asian Tour Order of Merit, and five sponsor's exemptions.
Now that the field has grown to 78 players and become an official PGA Tour event, there are 60 slots open to the PGA Tour, which is bringing out some players who might otherwise be taking time off. Of course, the marquee name this week is Phil Mickelson, playing his first tournament since the President's Cup. Still, other players like Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler, Bill Haas, and Graham DeLaet are making the trek with the hopes of garnering valuable early-season points.
The host course is new to the tournament this season, and while it isn't a monster in distance, it will present its own challenge, especially for the group of players who just teed it up in Las Vegas last week. The yardage comes in just under 7,000, but playing to a par-72, it will require players to make some value judgments, especially as it relates to their accuracy with a driver. Players do not want to find themselves in trouble in the rough this week.
As play is set to begin, here are five players you could see make some big moves this week.
Brandon Raper is a golf writer for RantSports.com. "Like" him on Facebook, follow him on Twitter @Brandon__Raper, and add him to your Google+ network.
5) Kiradech Aphibarnrat
Not a household name by any means, but he did win at this course earlier this year. That victory at the Malaysian Open was part of the European Tour and shortened to 54 holes due to weather, but you don't get a chance to win at one course twice in a year often. He may not do it again, but it will be interesting to watch.
4) Sergio Garcia
Back in action for the first time since the Tour Championship, Garcia has all the tools to contend this week. He finished eighth on Tour in strokes gained – putting in the 2013 season, and even though he didn't win, he looks like he's got his game in shape for the start of the new year.
3) Keegan Bradley
Bradley was just average on the Tour in his accuracy from the tee in 2013, but still found his way to tenth place in adjusted scoring average. He's got great touch around the greens, and if his putter gets hot he can do some serious damage.
2) Phil Mickelson
1) Nick Watney
Watney opened his season in Las Vegas last week, where he shot two 66's and two 73's in the birdie-fest known as the Shriners Open. Still, he's played some inspired golf lately, including two top-ten finishes in the FedEx Cup playoffs, and even though it's a new course, he did fend off Tiger Woods to win last year's event, and that's no small feat.

I like sour cream… and did someone say doughnuts? Enough said.
Time to Make the Sauerkraut…Again
Fermented cabbage is so delicious. It amazes me every time I make it. It's incredibly easy. I keep it simple using just cabbage and Himalayan Pink salt. While it's easy, it does take time to reach the flavor we love. I'm making a half-gallon each time and it's just not enough… From the Editor: Please…
A Closer Look: Mitoku Traditional Natto Spores
I had never made natto before, didn't even know what to expect. But I watched some videos on youtube and gave it a try. I followed the directions that came with the package, and it turned out great. Looked and smelled just like the video said it would. Thank you! Today we are going to…

The Mosaic of Our Lives
October 01, 2012 Length: 7:05
Fr. Ted reminds us that only in Orthodox Christianity do we have the totality of Holy Tradition.
"It wasn't until about a little over a year ago that I discovered the existence of the Orthodox Church. I went to Pascha last year and felt like one of the Russian spies, "I did not know whether I was in Heaven or on Earth, but I do know this: God is amongst these people." In the middle of Lent of this year, I came across a link to Ancient Faith Radio that one Orthodox Church had on their website, began listening to Fr. Thomas Hopko, among others, and have gotten hooked, if you will. AFR has allowed for me to look into Orthodoxy as I've investigated many different denominations of Christianity, and grow towards God in ways that actually HAVE been practiced since the days of the Early Church. Thank God and you all (you know who you are) for making this site possible."

John Balfour: Public servant active in the fields of health and children's welfare
Thursday 11 June 2009
Among the most demanding tasks in the public service is the chairmanship of a major health board. Over four difficult years of Government–imposed financial retrenchment (from 1983-87), and shortage of resources to meet the rising expectations created by modern medicine, John Balfour chaired the Fife Health Board with skill and vision. His commitment to improving the health service impressed Scottish MPs, and his impeccable good manners and knowledge of their problems endeared him to staff at all levels. He was among the first to confront the problem of Aids as a priority, and was closely associated with Princess Diana in her work.
John Balfour was the second son of Brigadier Edward Balfour CVO, DSO, MC, OBE and a Colonel of the Scots Guards, and Lady Ruth Balfour CBE. John's elder brother, Peter, was chairman of Charterhouse plc, and for 20 years a director of the Royal Bank of Scotland. From Eton, John went to Trinity College, Cambridge for a year, before the Second World War intervened. He volunteered on the outbreak of war and was posted to the 4th (Durham) Survey Regiment of the Royal Artillery. Their work was crucial to Montgomery's initial success at El Alamein, and Balfour, aged 23, was awarded the Military Cross.
Having gone through the North African campaign, and Normandy, where he landed on D-Day plus one, he was stricken with rheumatic fever. However, he was able to return to Trinity in October 1946, completing his degree a year later in the Mechanical Sciences Tripos. He spoke to me of the particular kindness of Cambridge dons towards ex-servicemen who had been away from their studies for six years.
In 1950, Balfour married a hugely energetic science graduate of Edinburgh University, Jean Drew, daughter of the distinguished soldier, Major-General Sir James Syme Drew. Dr Jean Balfour CBE, FRSE, as she became, was the successful, effective and pioneering Chairman of the Countryside Commission of Scotland between 1972 and 1982.
From the early 1950s, Balfour and his dynamo of a wife – he sometimes gave the misleading impression of a being a laidback old Etonian – developed Balbirnie Home Farm at Cupar, Fife, and made improvements in estate housing and woodlands which were an example to others. Setting up Markinch Motors with James Bowen, he led a company which was among those responsible for dramatic improvements in farm machinery. However, in the late 1960s, the Balfour family had to quit the 700 acres of Balbirnie, where they had lived since 1642, to make way for the new town of Glenrothes, providing housing for miners at two huge coal mines (which proved to be a geological disaster).
Henceforth, Balfour's farming operations were on a smaller scale. More and more, he devoted himself to Youth Scotland, and membership of the Alcohol Advisory Council. He was a member of Lord Kilbrandon's Inter-departmental Committee on Children and Young Persons, Scotland (1963-1964), which laid the foundations for a system of children's panels, in an area where Scottish practice was a subject of interest throughout Europe. Balfour believed that children's crimes should, where sensible, be taken out of the courts and dealt with in the context of their families through children's hearings. Balfour was made an OBE for his work with young people.
His last public service was as an influential member of the Whitley council, dealing with health service remuneration throughout Britain, and as a trustee of the Aids Trust.
Tam Dalyell
John Charles Balfour, soldier, farmer and public servant: born Woking 28 July 1919; served in the Royal Artillery in North Africa and Normandy, 1939- 1945, MC 1943; Chairman, Fife Area Health Board, 1983-1987; OBE 1978; married 1950 Dr Jean Drew (three sons); died Markinch, Fife 21 May 2009.

Six of the best: Six Nations highlights
Close contests, fabulous tries, new stars and the wonders of Wales have made this the best tournament since the Five Nations expanded by one
Hugh Godwin
Hugh Godwin is the rugby union correspondent of the Independent on Sunday who also writes for The Independent
Sunday 18 March 2012
This was the best Championship since the Five Nations became Six in 2000. England's dominance in 2003 and Wales's emergence from the doldrums in 2005 and Shane Williams-inspired attack of 2008 have their claims, but 2012 has entertained and intrigued all round.
Scotland's struggles against their tight-forward inadequacy and Italy's near-miss against England have been contributing factors; so too the settling down of the laws since the experimental meddling of a few seasons back.
Wales's third Grand Slam in eight years matches neatly their glory boys of the 1970s: those formative days, for so many, of colour TV and Bill McLaren's brogue. Would Gerald Davies have been able to sidestep today's huge Wales wings who look like they have stepped off a basketball court via a Venice Beach gymnasium? Were the England side who won 29 out of 36 Championship matches from 1996 to 2003, but with only one Slam, better than the latter-day Wales, who have had their lean streaks? Unanswerable questions, delicious debate.
What we know is that this Welsh team captained by son of a fireman, Sam Warburton, (and Ryan Jones and Gethin Jenkins when the flanker was injured) are fit and tight-knit with a pragmatic style under Warren Gatland, Shaun Edwards and Rob Howley recognisable from the coaches' previous stint winning trophies with Wasps.
Some of us doubted at the outset of the Championship that Wales would cope with their tight-five injuries. A desperately narrow win in Ireland got them going and they have marched on through this Six Nations' snow, frost, rain and warming sun.
Six tries of the Six Nations
1: Ben Foden for England v France. Bemoan the soft French tackling? No, celebrate the will to counter as Ben Morgan catches, runs, and slips a one-handed pass to Foden.
2: Manu Tuilagi for England v France. Foden contests a high ball (was it a knock-on?), Dimitri Szarzewski is slammed by Chris Ashton, Owen Farrell tidies up the loose ball, Tuilagi races 45 metres.
3: Jonathan Davies for Wales v Ireland. A Jamie Roberts decoy run distracts, George North with a floating sidestep and a straight dart goes between Gordon D'Arcy and Fergus McFadden, and flips a supple backhander pass for Davies to run it in.
4: Tom Croft for England v France. The clock reads 70 minutes, there are two points in it. Farrell spots England jerseys wide, passes long to Brad Barritt to Croft who bursts 30 metres. Individually brilliant.
5: Julien Malzieu for France v Italy. French shove Italy scrum off their own ball, Louis Picamoles from No 8 goes blind across the gainline, Malzieu bobs and weaves through four Italian defenders.
6: Richie Gray Scotland v Ireland. A ruck on the 22, a great blond gazelle has escaped from the local zoo? No, it's Gray on the gallop, finishing with a dummied pass to outwit Rob Kearney.
Best newcomer
Owen Farrell's armoury may be missing the odd weapon, and the 20-year-old fly-half will soon face competition from fellow tyros such as George Ford and Tom Heathcote. But Farrell's sang-froid served new England well.
Biggest biceps
Wales' Leigh Halfpenny looks as if he's halfway through a Bruce Banner to Hulk-style transformation.
Best quote
BBC TV commentator Brian Moore frothing at referee Alain Rolland's handling of the scrum. "I don't care if he speaks French. It just means he's getting it wrong in two languages."
Stupidest tweet
ESPN and BBC analyst Austin Healey in reply to a suggestion that Halfpenny is twice the player Healey was. "I've had sh**s with more talent."
Worst cock-ups
Postponing France v Ireland at the last minute with 80,000 people in the stadium. A week of weather forecasts and first-hand testimony predicted the Stade de France pitch would freeze. It did.
Referee Dave Pearson, blameless in calling the France v Ireland match off, had been an assistant in Dublin a week before, somehow recommending only a yellow card when Wales's Bradley Davies played tossing-the-caber with Ireland's Donnacha Ryan.
Freakiest injury
England head coach Stuart Lancaster slicing his finger open hitting a light fitting as he celebrated the win in Edinburgh.
Daftest drop-out
Stuart Lancaster protégé Danny Care had been mentioned as England leadership material – until a drink-driving offence saw him dropped for the Six Nations by his one-time mentor at Leeds.
The Three Invisible Men
1: Nick Mallett, about whom much was written in connection with the England head coach job. Sighted only by viewers of Supersport in South Africa where he did his homework analysing Six Nations matches. 2: Probable England captain Tom Wood missed the Championship injured. 3: Scotland fly-half Dan Parks played against England before retiring.
The quietest spin doctoring
A humorous article on George North, depicting the mighty Welsh wing barking Tarzan-like orders to his minions, was removed from website espnscrum.com after complaints by the Welsh Rugby Union.
The most uplifting sideshows
Packed houses for Wales Under-20 matches in north Wales and the increasing broadcast coverage for the women's Six Nations.
Six things we learnt from the Six Nations:
1: It's a young man's game – Toby Faletau, George North, Owen Farrell, Manu Tuilagi, Stuart Hogg – give them their head and let the coaches stand or fall.
2: If the Lions XV for 2013 was picked now it would be...
3: Warren Gatland will be the next Lions coach. Is it logical for a foreigner to coach an international team? Probably not, but Wales don't seem to mind.
4: It's been easier to win a Grand Slam in the Six Nations than when it was Five: Wales's is the eighth in 11 seasons.
5: Players and coaches aren't angels. Scrum-halves take the mickey out of spectators by keeping the ball in the ruck for hours. It must and will be outlawed.
6: TV replays don't always provide proof. Did Dave Strettle score against Wales? We need to invent a grass-cam.
