The man who started the boys' and girls' tennis programs at Swansboro High 17 years ago is no longer involved with either team.
Jim Sheehan said Wednesday that he and his wife will not coach the Pirates after Swansboro principal Christine Andre told Ellen Sheehan earlier this month she could return as the boys' head coach but his return as head coach was not an option.
Sheehan retired in December 2011 from his job as a physical education teacher at Swansboro and did not coach the boys' team in the spring of 2012 because of a state retirement policy that required him to take a six-month absence from working for the school in any capacity.
Ellen Sheehan, a Swansboro High teacher, coached the boys' team, although her husband returned in the fall to coach the girls' tennis team.
"The way it was explained to me by Ellen and not by anybody in a position of authority was that there was somebody on (the school staff) interested in coaching tennis," Jim Sheehan said Wednesday.
"And when Ellen and I met with Mrs. Andre in the summer about coaching the girls (in the fall), it was pretty well out there our intentions was to do both."
However, Andre said a decision on who would coach the boys' team had not been made in the summer. Jim Sheehan and Andre didn't meet once school started in late August.
"It was clear that he was definitely coaching the girls and it was clear that if anyone on staff wanted to join the tennis team or any coaching position…, we would prefer to have someone on staff first," Andre said.
"When Jim retired he asked if he could be the girls' coach and that's what I agreed to. But it's obviously best for the school for someone on campus doing the coaching, and Mrs. Sheehan and I had expected her to coach but she has decided not to coach without Jim.
"I wanted to have our new coach mentored by Ellen because of her dedication and her knowledge. It just didn't work out."
Megan Mahon, a first-year teacher at Swansboro, is the new boys' tennis coach.
"We have not explored girls' tennis yet," Andre said.
Sheehan, though, said he was "taken aback" by Andre's decision to not keep him as the coach given his 32-year tenure at Swansboro, which included serving as a teacher, athletic director, football, baseball and tennis coach.
"I told her I would come back to coach tennis. Ellen told her it would be the both of us or neither of us," Sheehan said. "When she said (a new coach) will do it, I said, 'That's fine. I'm not.' I don't understand it, but I guess I have to understand it.
"I don't want to say it hurt my feelings, but it hurt my feelings significantly. When you start a program from ground zero and coach it continuously until I retired and have been the only boys' coach here and then to not even get called in…, that's how it is and I'm OK with it. That's their prerogative. It just wasn't handled well."
But Andre reiterated that it was important for Swansboro to have a coach working on campus during the day. Ellen Sheehan was offered the job as head boys coach two weeks ago.
"Even having someone at the middle school coaching for you (can be difficult) because the communication doesn't always occur," Andre said. "Last-minute decisions are easily communicated when you're here on campus."
Sheehan started both the boys' and girls' programs in 1996 and helped make Swansboro one of the more competitive tennis schools in the area. The Pirates have six conference titles in boys' tennis and eight in girls' tennis while regularly made the state playoffs under Sheehan.
"Obviously there are big shoes to fill when you have built a program that's recognized across the state of
Jim Sheehan said he will miss being the Pirates' coach.
"I'm going to miss seeing the kids play and developing," he said. "I'll miss seeing the kids and seeing the other tennis coaches because I have good relationships with them."
After retiring as a teacher, Sheehan, 57, took a job as tennis director for the Ole Porte Racquet Club in Swansboro. While no longer coaching the high school team, he remains an instructor for the sport.
"I love it," Sheehan said. "I love the whole aspect of the game."

When Himari squares off against Kuesu Jinguuji, demon slayer and purportedly Yuuto's betrothed, the cat may have bitten off more than she can chew! Kuesu's abilities are formidable to say the least, forcing Himari to retreat with her tail tucked between her legs. Is the shame of defeat in battle too much for Himari to bear, or can Yuuto be the one to offer her support for a change?

In the end Rocket XL did send me a copy of Dragon Age: Origins, which I received last Thursday. I've played a little bit, but I haven't got very far, so this is more first impressions than an overall review. For reference, the farthest I've gotten is just past Lothering, before the main game opens up.
Origin Stories
I've done the City Elf , Mage, and Human Noble origin stories so far. The Mage and City Elf stories were really good. The Human Noble story was decent, but extremely predictable.
World Building
I love the world Bioware has created. They've done an outstanding job.
I love the way elven and human societies interact. It is superb. Mad props to the Bioware writer who coined the word "Alienage" to describe the city quarter where the elves live. Melding the word "alien" with the connotations of "orphanage" was a stroke of brilliance. It sums up the entire relationship in a single word.
I really like the Chantry, the prophet Andraste and the Chant of Light. It is an extremely well done medieval religion, and really adds an extra dimension to the game. There is a scene in Lothering where the Reverend Mother gives you a blessing that was just beautiful.
The relationship between the Templars, the Magi, the Tranquil and the Fade is also extremely interesting. It is to Bioware's credit that they avoided the whole "church persecuting mages" storyline. The idea that the Templars are both protectors and jailors of the mages is elegant.
I'm not very far in. So far, the plot has been decent but rather predictable. The mage story pulled the same twist twice. I'm not entirely sure if that was deliberate for emphasis or just poor plotting. In the other strands, the bad guys look like bad guys, and so betrayals do not exactly come as surprises.
Of course, this is just the early part of the game. The main plot still has a long way to go.
First, I really like the way Dragon Age uses the game engine to render cutscenes. Having the character you made in her current armor be present in the scene makes the game much more immersive.
The graphics in this game are a bit odd. If you play with the over-the-shoulder view, the graphics are superb. On the other hand, if you zoom out to the overhead tactical view, the character graphics are pretty bad. They're blurry and smeared, instead of being crisp.
Part of the reason I'm playing on Easy is so I can stay in the over-the-shoulder view, instead of having to resort to the tactical view.
The blood spatter was a mistake. It injects a childish note into an otherwise adult game. Luckily you can turn it off.
Gameplay is decent. You can pause and issue orders for your entire party. Or you can set up "Tactics", which are short "Condition:Action" statements that the AI will follow. For example, Alistair is my tank, and I set up a tactic so he drinks a health potion if his health drops below 25%.
I'm playing it on Easy to minimize the amount of fiddling I have to do with my companions in battle. Oddly, my first character (elf rogue) still died a lot. I think I messed up her abilities, and ended up starting a new character (human 2H warrior). I think I underestimated how important Willpower (which controls your available stamina) is important to a melee character.
Mechanics-wise, it's a standard mana resource game. You have mana (mages) or stamina (warriors/rogues) which starts at full, and is used up as you use abilities.
The only interesting note is the fact that continuing effects have "upkeeps" which reduce the max mana/stamina you have available. For example, if I have 100 stamina, and activate a Brutal Strikes mode with an upkeep of 40 stamina, my max stamina effectively drops to 60, and won't regen higher. It's an intriguing method of keeping long-term buffs in check.
So far, Dragon Age: Origins is a pretty good game in the Bioware/Black Isle tradition. I am looking forward to working my way through it, and will probably end up commenting more on the game later.

I have been interested in this game for a while, but was unsure of whether or not I wanted to give it a shot. It sounds great, and it has been a while since I have played a good old single player RPG. I might give it a shot.

I picked it up on Tuesday night. Had to go to three stores to find a copy in stock. I've only just reached The Wilds, but so far am pleased. Like you, I find that the constant spray of blood borders on ridiculous.

Go back and watch the opening scene when Duncan kills the darkspawn scouts and then proceed to wipe his face with his bracers before glancing over the horizon - that is how blood splatter should be done.
My problem with the blood splatter wasn't so much that it got onto everywhere... it's to do with the characters not attempting to "wipe it off their face" afterwards and begin a conversation.
I think you might have wrote off some characters too early - in DA:O there are very few "pure evil" characters. There are certainly many characters that I didn't like but I've always felt they are driven by certain elements to be that way.
Finally, I'm told that the "noble dwarf" is awesome to play - go the pompous route.

I'm pretty much mainlining Dragon Age right now. Blew through the game in about 60 "official" hours on normal mode with a Human Noble female warrior (tank), and am now running around with a City Elf female rogue. I just can NOT stop playing. WoW, Demon's Souls, Persona 3... all abandoned for this game. Good job, Bioware!

Also, I do agree that the constant blood splatters are kind of crazy, but there's an option to turn off the persistent gore, and if you're playing on PC, I *think* someone made a mod to lessen the random amounts of blood regardless of what mode you play in.

The Fox Float 32 features 100mm of smooth Kashima coated suspension. Kashima is buttery smooth and provides exceptionally smooth travel and extreme durability. Terralogic technology automatically adjusts to trail conditions in real time. Terralogic allows you to focus on the task at hand instead of adjusting and re-adjusting fork settings. When the trail gets rough, the fork becomes active for plush, bump gobbling performance. In smooth conditions, the fork stiffens for ultimate pedal efficiency. This version of the Float features Fox Isolated Technology, also known as FIT. FIT technology employs a bladder system that keeps the oil and air from mixing to provide optimal performance in all riding extremes. Since the FIT cartridge uses much less oil, the weight of the fork is significantly less than one with an open bath style.

I upgraded my stock remote lock Reba fork off of my 2010 Trek 8000 to this Fox Terralogic fork. Great upgrade! I have not raced on it yet, but just from some short rides that I have gone on so far, the "Smart" tech of this fork works great! When riding, it absorbs every bump you hit, but when the trail is smooth or you are climbing and stompin pedals, it is solid!

About The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Tickets - Band HistoryRed Jumpsuit Apparatus began in 2003 in Middleburg, Florida. Their career began to take off in 2004, when they built considerable local buzz by releasing their first full-length album. Later that year, they inked to Virgin Records and in 2006, they released their major label debut Don't You Fake It - a smash hit. The album featured four singles, the most successful of which was Face Down, a song about domestic abuse that peaked at number 3 on U.S. Alternative charts. The album itself peaked at number 25 on U.S. charts, and went on to be certified Gold. In 2009, the band released Lonely Road, which peaked at number 14 on U.S. charts, but by then, the band had lost some steam. While they continued to tour with comparatively big acts, they had not been given anywhere near the attention they received with the release of Don't You Fake It. However, in 2010, the band parted ways with Virgin Records, and in 2011, are looking to regain momentum with new full-length Am I the Enemy<.i>.
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Tickets - The MusicRed Jumpsuit Apparatus play a brand of pop-punk that contains strong radio rock influences. On Don't You Fake It, they incorporated emo influences, as many of the songs featured screaming. However, Lonely Road saw the band lose much of that edge and found them heading towards a more grunge rock direction, a la Hinder. Lyrically, the band is primarily concerned with personal experiences in relationships and life. Whatever it is, however, the one thing the band never lacks is passion. For this reason, make sure to get your Red Jumpsuit Apparatus tickets so you can catch them live.

Chris Gray will never forget when his daughter Amber had her first open-heart surgery at age 12. Doctors at CHOC had to replace a narrow valve that was hampering blood flow, the result of a condition she was born with called aortic stenosis.
The very next morning, doctors' orders were for her to get up and start walking to pump blood through her mended heart. Gray recalls his little girl was ghost- white, hooked up to a maze of tubes, IVs and monitors.
"She looks over at me and says, 'Dad, can you help me?' I say, 'Sure.' I picked her up with her tubes and IVs, and we were off."
Flash forward another 12 years: The Grays, from Orange, were back in the hospital, this time at Loma Linda. Amber's heart, having reached full maturity, needed a final valve replacement, so she had to undergo a second open-heart operation. Her father was once again perched at the foot of her bed, waiting for her to awaken. "This time, though, there was also Matt," Gray says.
Matt Bridges had been dating Amber for two years at that point. A cowboy boot-wearing, country music-cranking, fishing and hunting kind of guy, Matt was ambling his way through a business degree at Cal State Fullerton. "I might have failed a few classes," the Placentia native admits with a smirk. "It took me six years to graduate."
He met Amber one night when he struck up a conversation with her at Paul's, a bar on the Circle in Orange. "Real classy, I know," says Matt, 28. This booze-and-pool joint is known to have a good juke box, but it wasn't Amber's typical hangout. Friends had dragged her there to cheer her up, as an ex had just trampled her delicate-in-so-many-ways heart.
What did she think of the guy with the high-wattage smile and the blue eyes? "I was skeptical at first," says Amber, who at the time was studying photojournalism, also at Cal State Fullerton. Maybe the fact, as her dad says, that "Matt is just Matt" made her lower her defenses, but whatever the reason, the two were soon inseparable. "I think we maybe didn't see each other a total of five days the whole first year we were together," says Amber, 27.
Then, it was time for her surgery. Matt accompanied her to all her pre-op appointments, and waited with her parents for her to come out of the seven-hour surgery. "When I came to, he was sitting there," Amber says, a routine he maintained for the four days she was hospitalized. "He was in his last semester of college, and was driving about an hour from Fullerton to Loma Linda, and would stay there until the nurse kicked him out."
Unlike the first surgery in childhood where she "snapped right back," Amber says this recovery was tough and painful. She was connected to three IVs, including one that ran from her neck, and she felt weak and sick.
"Just seeing her like that was ... scary," Matt says.
Gray watched it all transpire. "I remember Matt was kind of shocked, because Amber's normally tanned face was ashen, but, he wanted to be there."
The morning after the surgery, says Gray, just as had happened a dozen years earlier, the doctor came into her room. "He said, 'Amber, I want you to get up and walk down the hallway,' so I am ready to get up – but Amber says, 'Matt, can you help me?' So I sat on her bed and watched Matt get up and walk her down the hallway. And that," he says, "is when I gave my daughter away."
But it still took awhile longer – another four years – for Matt to actually get down the aisle with Amber: "I figured we'd get married eventually, but ..." says Matt, who seems to be a six-year-plan kind of guy (see: college).
"Every vacation we went on, my friends were like, 'He's going to do it.' When we went to Cabo, even his mom told me, 'Oh it's going to happen.'"

For citizens of the Ken Empire, justice is a myth. Lord Keiro, the deranged Shogun of the Imperial Army, blazes a trail of terror across the countryside in search of the sacred sword that will make him a god. Standing in his way is Taito, an omnipotent star reborn in human form - a young hero who vows to use his celestial strength to avenge those slaughtered by the villainous Shogun.
Taito's mystical powers steer him toward a violent showdown with Keiro, and if used recklessly, his newfound abilities could shred the very fabric of his being. To master the art of control and become a heroic martial artist, Taito must seek the guidance of others like him: the seven star-born warriors with the strength to shatter a corrupt empire.

I have one, a "Chanel" Allure Homme. I occasionally wear it along with genuine Allure Homme Aftershave.
Actually it's a pretty decent copy...
I'm sure many of us have been in a situation where the low price of a bottle on eBay was too tempting to resist. Unfortunately, many of us have also realized that you get what you paid for...
So, what do you all do with your fakes?
Personally, I contact the company, get a refund, and they generally ask me to keep the bottle and not leave negative feedback.
I use my fakes for:
Room sprays, gym scents (they are usually watered down and perfect for the gym), or decoration. I have a bottle of D&G The One, Le Male, and Code sitting in front of me, all fakes. Their authentic counterparts are sitting in my drawer.
I have one, a "Chanel" Allure Homme. I occasionally wear it along with genuine Allure Homme Aftershave.
Actually it's a pretty decent copy...
The Only fake I have ever purchased was a little over one month ago on ebay. It was a fake bottle of Bleu de Chanel. The seller wanted for me to mail the bottle back for a refund but once I contacted ebay disputes and paypal, the game was over. He immediately issued a refund without requesting the bottle. I guess he wanted the bottle back to sell it to some other sucker. I was not going to allow that to happen. I guess the fake is good to spray on the rug and furniture.
Have never purchased a fake.
I have never bought a fake either.

Armani Prive' Bois d'Encens, Ermenegildo Zegna Indonesian Oud, Essenza de Zegna, Amouage Beloved Man, Fahrenheit Le Parfum, Dior La Collection Couturier Vetiver, and Rasikh Syed Junaid Alam.
Don't have any fakes in my collection thankfully.
I have ALWAYS (100%) received a FULL Refund from the Seller or Ebay directly. I even open a dispute with my credit card company so, the funds are suspended from PayPal. Two layers of protection.
Fakes are a disgrace to the world of fragrance. I have reported them to Ebay and have helped shut sellers down who sell them.
It, to me, is a matter of principle - not just getting a full refund, which I get any way.
Some perfumes are as fragrant as an infants flesh, sweet as an oboes cry, and greener than the spring; While others are triumphant, decadent or rich; Having the expansion of infinite things, like ambergris and musk, benzoin and frankincense, which sing the transports of the mind and every sense.
― Charles Baudelaire, The Flowers of Evil & Paris Spleen
Interesting responses. I'm surprised, and glad that most of you here are playing is safe.
Senore, I do the same. The fake Le Male actually smells nice and is a rather relaxing scent. I spray it around my bedroom before calling it a night.
Bleu is a widely faked fragrance though. It's such a shame.
Unfortunately, Neal, I have terrible luck with eBay and fragrances. Fortunately I've received a full refund on every fake so far.
The moment I removed the cap from the bottle of bleu, I knew it was a fake. It was not magnetic. Bleu de Chanel has a magnetic cap.
That's one of the things I love about Chanel bottles. Most counterfeiters don't bother trying to copy the cap. And even if they do copy the magnet idea as well, you can tell the difference.
Too bad the price just kills it for me.
The only fake scent I ever got was Bleu De Chanel (unboxed)...I sent it back for replacement and I recd. another fake one but this time it was with box...sent it back again and got the refund :-)
I've learnt to stay away from those alluring prices on ebay :-)
I actually got traded a fake here at BN once - two years ago in fact.
The trader - as much as I could tell - was unaware and when I showed them the pics, he was apologetic and told me not to worry about my trade as he sent first because he had no feedback yet. Anyway, I use that as a freshener in my garage.
Hi, I'm William | My Swap Thread
Fortunately I've never purchased any fakes on eBay. The only problems i've ever had were purchasing a used bottle of Polo Crest years ago that had gone bad and a vintage bottle of Drakar Noir that arrived empty. Both sellers ended up giving refunds without me having to return the bottles.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
I didn't realize so many people actually purchased fragrances through ebay.
If I bought a fake, I doubt I would use it as an air freshner - I don't even want fake air freshner (and if I can't trust the ingredients, I sure wouldn't spray it all over my room!)

I rarely buy from ebay, and then only from a couple of trusted sellers I have done business with before. Never purchased any fakes. If something looks too good to be true, it invariably is - avoid.

I am seldom tempted by cheap prices on eBay or anywhere else. I only buy pre-loved fragrances from eBay, especially if the current batch has been badly reformulated. I believe genuine stuff can be had at a bargain too; you just need to search a little bit harder.
Why on Earth are people buying stuff on eBay?
It's like a huge car boot sale open to all sorts of chancers and duckers and divers, and little wonder that the place is snided with moody gear.
My advice would be to give your head a wobble and chalk it up to experience. Buy cheap, buy twice.
Didn't encounter a fake perfume yet, only stuff that had gone off. In either case I'd return the item. If they'd ask me to keep it, I'd probably chuck it or, if it smells ok, use it/give it to someone who wants it.
I've learned my lesson with Ebay. I never purchased anything from there till I got into fragrance. Of four purchased two have been good and two have been very unsatisfactory. The average person is unprincipled and dishonest.

I don't have any
For good, anatomic reasons, scent fosters memory more readily than any other sense.
Luckily I never bought a fake either.
I pee in them.
Until proven otherwise, I don't know to own any fakes, thus no need to know what to do with them.
Use them as a nice looking paper weight.
Pass it off as genuine to someone you do not like.
Ebay is for suckas!

Give them away as presents to people you don't like) Second, do not buy from Ebay, I never do.
I wouldn't put them on my skin - that's for sure. Even as a room spray they are not necessarily safe.

I have the conception that you can't buy directly from Chanel but use the "store locator" that will tell you the nearest shop.
Buying from eBay is totally safe if one pays with paypal, and looks carefully the listing and uses common sense.
If one still has doubts of eBay, the reputable shops like Sephora, Douglas etc. are a good choice then.

Wow, a lot of careful people here!
Senore, your comment is priceless. I do actually allow guests to spray themselves with the fakes. 10 sprays of authentic Le Male would kill me
I've purchased two fakes, One Million and Le Male. By the time I realized it, it was too late to do anything. Threw both away.
Current top 10 (No order):
1. Pure Havane
2. Menthe Fraiche
3. Tobacco Vanille
4. L'Air Du Desert Marocain
5. Green Irish Tweed
6. Fahrenheit
7. Musc Ravageur
8. Tonka Imperial
9. Gucci Pour Homme II
10. Dior Homme Intense
The most faked cologne out there are usually the most over-hyped ones such as Le Male, One Million, Chanel Allure Homme Sport, Cool Water, Acqua Di Gio, Bleu De Chanel, etc.
I'd never buy those off the internet because the chances of them being genuine are slim to none.
"Le parfum est la musique du corps"
(Marcel Rochas)
Bleu is mass-produced by one of the counterfeit factories in China. The box is well done but the bottle inside is not. The non-magnetized cap is your obvious clue... Not only do the fakes use a cheap plastic cap, but the ones that are magnetized are usually not precise - the authentic will spin the cap into a consistent position and hold it on. The bottom of the phony's glass bottle is rough and inexpertly produced... All dead giveaways.
The sellers typically have an endless supply, start bidding at $1, and use stock photos.
I've encountered one fake and it was via a basenotes swap and I don't even think the guy who I swapped with knew it was fake. And I didn't even know it was fake until I sold it and the guy I sold it to told me it was fake.
That was a bottle of Chanel Allure Edition Blanche. Once the guy I sold it to returned it to me and I refunded him, I threw the bottle away.
Gotta get those fakes out of the fragrance-sphere, otherwise they just get recycled--whether dishonestly or unknowingly. No reason to keep them around.
I learned a few lessons from that experience, as a buyer and seller.
I bought a fake bottle of Royal Copenhagen once - I'm still kicking myself for not dishing out the extra cash for the original.
I wear them. I use to have this knock off of Fahrenheit. It was $20, and I really liked it. Does anyone have experience with this. Its call Exceed, by a company called New Brand. I think the company specializes in copy cat fragrances. Its made in Belgium, I think.
Favorite notes at this point: Sandal wood, Oud, Frankincense, Rose
I've never bought a fake, but I am extremely trepidatious about buying fragrances on eBay. I've bought maybe three bottles of fragrance over the 'Bay: a mini of Ferrari Essence Oud, a bottle of Worth PH and a bottle of Body Shop Amber Oud. Clearly not what you'd call 'big-ticket' items (none were over $9).
The vast majority of vendors I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw them, but there are some great vendors I keep on my 'saved sellers' list.

I have one Allure fake bottle and use it as a car boot refresher.
Favorite notes at this point: Sandal wood, Oud, Frankincense, Rose
No worries dofa, that wasn't smart-ass at all!
That's not a bad idea (the car boot freshner). I think my fake bottle of Le Male is going to get transferred...
I haven't tried Exceed, but I purchased a bottle of Temperature (Amazon, $6). It smells close to Fahrenheit, but I honestly don't like the original anyways.
I don't buy fakes.
To the best of my knowledge, despite buying maybe fifty fragrances on Ebay, I've never purchased a fake.
If I did, I'd probably just pitch it, if it did not smell good; or use it as a room spray. If I bought it on Ebay, I'd ask for my money back, and am confident paypal would refund it. As has been discussed elsewhere, Ebay is now a "seller beware" site.
And I would never sell a fake to anyone, regardless of their level of knowledge, which, in my view, is irredeemably unethical. For that matter, knowingly selling a counterfeit product is completely illegal in the United States under federal law.
Current Top Five:
1. Creed Green Irish Tweed
2. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
3. Hermes Concentre d'Orange Verte
4. Bond No. 9 New Haarlem
5. Creed Original Vetiver

RICHLANDS – This could have been an even bigger soccer victory for Richlands.
Still, coach Mike Roed will take the Wildcats' 2-0 nonconference win over Northside on Thursday night because he felt his team played well overall, despite not finishing many of its scoring chances.
"I think we played good in the back. We were really organized in the back and we got numbers behind the ball," Roed said. "I thought our ball movement was good at times. We just didn't finish opportunities."
However, the Wildcats (2-1-3) put enough away to defeat the Monarchs (1-5) for their second consecutive victory entering Tuesday's Coastal 3-A Conference opener at West Carteret.
Sophomore Roman Eddleman scored just 2:50 into the second half while junior Tolson Jeffrey added Richlands' second goal with 9:27 left in the match to seal the win.
"Frustrating, yeah," Roed said of his team's missed opportunities. "Scoring goals is a skill and right now we are struggling trying to find that one person who can finish the ball in there.
"It might be because we just haven't had a chance to get out and play because of the rain and lightning we've had. A couple of times tonight we were going a little bit too slow and we didn't put it in."
Eddleman certainly found the way to the goal to give Richlands the only score it needed.
After playing a Ryan Appleyard pass from the right side, Eddleman went toward the goal before kicking it past Northside goalie Alex Hull.
"Ryan played me the ball through, I got it and I ran 10 yards," Eddleman said. "I hit it right into the left corner."
Eddleman has had to adjust to playing a different position because of injuries.
"Roman is usually the guy up top, but with injuries we've had to have him work more in the midfield," Roed said.
The Wildcats made it 2-0 with 9:27 left when Jeffrey scored on a direct kick from about 25 yards.
"The first half we didn't finish. We had a couple of shots in the front of the goal that we didn't finish," Eddleman said. "But we just kept shooting."
The Wildcats controlled possession most of the match. Appleyard, a senior, was a big reason for Richlands' ball movement.
"We were able to get to the outside and Appleyard played a really good game on the outside," Roed said. "He was able to attack on the outside and we were able to use our speed and get the ball in the middle."
Hull helped the Monarchs stay in the game by making 12 saves – six in each half. He made three saves on point-blank Richlands shots.
"Alex is working hard and he is going to be strong for us in the goal," Northside coach P.J. McManus said. "He makes some really good saves."
McManus, who coaches the Richlands girls' soccer team, was disappointed in the loss but pleased with his team's effort.
"They are taking steps forward now," he said. "We are still trying to come up with a starting lineup, but we are fortunate we don't start conference play until Sept. 23."
But the Wildcats still proved too much for the Monarchs.
"We are starting to get better in the back and we are getting a lot of opportunities," Roed said. "We just need to put them in the net. It will come."
Northside 0 0 — 0
Richlands 0 2 — 2
GOALS—R: Eddleman, Jeffrey. ASSISTS—R: Appleyard. IN GOAL—N: Hull (12 saves). R: Pierce (4 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL—N 4, R 14. CORNER KICKS—N 2, R 8. RECORDS—N: 1-5, at West Brunswick on Monday. R: 2-1-3, at West Carteret on Tuesday.

Tour closers are always bittersweet affairs, as everyone - the band and crew alike - is excited to get home to loved ones but sad to say goodbye to our friends out on the road.
Mannheim - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' third show in Germany this month - proved to be a perfect spot to close the band's first trip to Europe in 20-plus years.
Unfortunately, Jonathan Wilson and band were unable to make the show as bus troubles left them stranded in northern Italy, but Tom and the band didn't let the last-minute change deter than from playing a smoking tour closer.
The biggest difference between Mannheim and the other German dates on the Heartbreakers' tour was the crowd, which was on its feet from the opening chords of "Listen To Her Heart" until the final note of "American Girl."
"It's Good To Be King" proved once again to be this tour's heavy hitter, with the band delivering another spine-tingling performance of the Wildflowers opus that elicited the loudest ovation of the entire night.
Just like in Lucca, Tom decided to add a third song to the encore, once again playing a incendiary version of "Two Men Talking," a tune that has only been previously released on 2003's Soundstage DVD.
"This is the last night of our European tour," Tom said before launching into "American Girl." "Thank you, Germany, for a great night tonight. We'll be back real soon."
Listen to Her Heart

The Springbok Sevens eased to a 31-21 victory over New Zealand to secure an unbeaten run on day one of the Gold Coast Sevens.
In the Pool A decider, Paul Treu's men excelled against the World Series defending champions.
After a disappointing campaign last season, which saw South Africa fail to secure a tournament victory, the Blitzboks displayed an all-round improvement and maturity.
Where there was once panic and hesitancy on attack, the Springbok Sevens were slick and with ball in hand. Their once shaky guard has been replaced with an effective defensive system. And while the New Zealanders were superior in size, South Africa's intelligence and tactics in general play allowed them to hold the ascendancy.
Former IRB Sevens Player of the Year Cecil Afrika played a big part on attack and showed why he's regarded as one of the top stars on the circuit. He was well supported by veterans Paul Delport, Branco du Preez, Frankie Horne, Steven Hunt and Chris Dry, while newbies Cornal Hendricks, Stephen Dippenaar and Ruwellyn Isbel also made impressive contributions.
This saw the Blitzbok camp inside the Kiwi's red zone in the first stanza, with Hendricks, Delport and Horne scoring tries. New Zealand crossed the chalk after the half-time hooter as wing Tim Mikkelson raced to the corner from a free-kick tap.
South Africa led 19-7 at the break.
In the second stanza, Delport and Dippenaar sealed the win as they dotted down. New Zealand grabbed consolation tries via Iopu Iopu and Rhys Llewellyn.
The Springbok Sevens will meet France in the Cup quarter-finals on day two.
Earlier in the day, the Blitzboks claimed back-to-back group wins as they downed USA 33-5.
Matt Hawkins put the Americans into an early lead, but it was all South Africa thereafter. Tshotsho Mbovane hit back for Paul Treu's charges, and Du Preez's conversion secured a 7-5 half-time lead.
Tries from Du Preez, Dry, Kyle Brown and Delport in the second stanza sealed an easy triumph.
In their first match, the Springbok Sevens cruised to a 38-0 win over Canada.
Hendricks starred for the victors, grabbing a hat-trick. Hunt, Mbovane and Dry also crossed the chalk as South Africa scored six tries in the one-sided contest.
Blitzboks' fixtures (day one):
South Africa 38 Canada 0
South Africa 33 USA 5
South Africa 31 New Zealand 21

Cover Story
In recent days, people of faith have raised their voices in the health-care reform debate and started talking about moral values.
The Muslim month of fasting, Ramadan, is over. For me, as for other Muslims, it has been challenging, and beautiful. But the purpose of the month—retreat—is not meant to last forever.
During health-care reform efforts this summer, it was suggested that pastors preach on the topic. This sounds like such an easy and simple thing to do—if you are not a local church pastor!
While purchasing a slingshot recently, I began to wonder what message this might be sending to my credit card company, a business that pays special attention to my spending habits out of what I use

Museum Celebrates 25th Anniversary With Gala, Sept. 25Posted Aug. 18, 2010
Fundraising event features iconic fashion designers Isabel and Ruben Toledo as the honorary chairs and kicks off the opening of the much-anticipated "Katharine Hepburn: Dressed for Stage and Screen" exhibit
The Kent State University Museum, recently accredited by the American Association of Museum, will celebrate its 25th anniversary on Saturday, Sept. 25, with a gala event called 25 Years of Dazzle. The museum houses 40,000 objects including fashion, decorative art and an extensive collection of American glass, fine furniture, textiles, paintings and other decorative arts from the 18th century to the present.
The 25 Years of Dazzle gala is fortunate to have First Lady Michelle Obama's fashion designers Isabel and Ruben Toledo serve as honorary chairs. The event co-chairs are Bonnie Kane Barenholtz and Elizabeth (Betsy) Carr, both of Aurora, Ohio. The gala takes place at the Kent State University Museum on Sept. 25 at 6 p.m. Tickets start at $150 per person, and sponsorships are available at the $250, $500 and $5,000 (table sponsorship) levels. For an invitation or to make reservations, call 330-672-3450. The reservation deadline is Sept. 10.
Featured at the gala event will be the exclusive tour of the Katharine Hepburn: Dressed for Stage and Screen, a sit-down dinner, raffle, live entertainment, followed by a private screening of a short Katharine Hepburn documentary as introduced by Turner Classic Movies' host and the evening's master of ceremonies, Robert Osborne.
Guests will enjoy cocktails in the regal library of the museum and the exclusive opportunity to experience this future internationally touring exhibit, Katharine Hepburn: Dressed for Stage and Screen, which officially opens to the public on Oct. 2. The collection, which was gifted to the Kent State University Museum in 2008 by Hepburn's estate, includes the starlet's personal collection of film, stage and television costumes, as well as clothes worn by her for publicity purposes.
The exhibit includes stage costumes from "The Philadelphia Story," "Without Love" and "Coco;" screen costumes from such classic films as "Stage Door," "Adam's Rib" and "Long Day's Journey Into Night;" and costumes from many of her television movies, such as "Love Among the Ruins." In addition, Hepburn's "signature look," an ensemble of tailored beige trousers and linen jackets, will be spotlighted, as will vintage posters, playbills, photos and other Hepburn-related artifacts.
Guests at the gala will enjoy live music by nationally recognized pianist Jack Hurd and a raffle featuring such items as a weekend stay at the AAA five-diamond rated Walden Country Inn in Aurora; jewelry by Hood & Hoover in Stow and other wonderful items. Guests then will be ushered into the Rockwell Auditorium where Osborne will introduce the private screening of "Katharine Hepburn: All About Me," a short documentary narrated by Hepburn.
The airy, exquisite Rockwell Atrium will be transformed into an enchanting, shimmering setting taking guests back to yesteryear. Well-known Cleveland interior designer George Beckman and award-winning florist Dean White work their magic with luxurious materials, beads, white calla lilies, roses and twinkle lights to create a magical, glamorous atmosphere for the museum's special anniversary.

History of the Kent State University Museum
Closely linked to the Shannon Rodgers and Jerry Silverman School of Fashion Design and Merchandising at Kent State University, the Kent State University Museum provides students with first-hand experience with historic and contemporary fashions, as well as costumes representing many of the world's cultures. An extensive collection of American glass, fine furniture, textiles, paintings and other decorative arts combine to give context to the study of design.
The museum serves both the university and the community through exhibitions, public programs and research appointments in the collections.
Opened to the public in October 1985, the Kent State University Museum was founded with an initial contribution from New York dress manufacturers Jerry Silverman and Shannon Rodgers. Their gift included 4,000 costumes and accessories, nearly 1,000 pieces of decorative art and a 5,000-volume reference library. In the 1960s, Shannon Rodgers began collecting what is now considered one of the finest period costume collections in the United States, today totaling more than 40,000 pieces. The Tarter/Miller collection of some 10,000 pieces of glass formed the second major gift to the museum. Together with the other decorative arts collected by Rodgers and Silverman, the museum holds one of the most comprehensive teaching collections of fashionable design from the 18th century to the present.
For more information on the Kent State University Museum, visit www.kent.edu/museum.
Jerry Silverman (1910-1984)
Born in New York City, Jerry Silverman, a Harvard graduate, left the legal profession to work in the fashion industry. After his service in World War II, he returned to work at Martini Designs and shortly thereafter hired a young designer, Shannon Rodgers. At Martini, Silverman became vice president and sales manager, as well as part owner, and developed a line of cocktail dresses in petite sizes designed by Rodgers. In 1959, he and Rodgers established their own company, Jerry Silverman, Inc. Their business partnership became one of the most successful manufacturers of women's better dresses in the industry, a position it maintained until they sold the business in 1973. At its zenith, the firm operated four factories in Pennsylvania supervised by production manager Sheldon Landau. Silverman's personality and business skills made him a sought after counselor to others, and Silverman and Rodgers filled an important social role in the industry, entertaining lavishly in their city and country homes. Members of the national and local press, buyers from stores of all sizes and fellow members of the industry all enjoyed their hospitality. A love of antiques spurred them to decorate their homes with excellent examples of decorative arts. It was Silverman who added some of his family antiques and many Manchu Dynasty Chinese robes to the growing collection, and when it was time to find a home for the collection, it was Silverman who believed that it should be made available to students. When Kent State President Brage Golding offered to create a museum and develop a curriculum in fashion design and merchandising, Silverman enthusiastically agreed to place the collection at Kent State University.
Shannon Rodgers (1911-1996)
Born in Newcomerstown, Ohio, Shannon Rodgers was encouraged by Cleveland sculptor Waylan Gregory to pursue a career in the arts. He began by working in the New York theatre as an assistant to costume designer Woodman Thompson, making extra money by sketching for various firms in the fashion industry. For one of the plays, "The Warrior's Husband," starring Katharine Hepburn, Rodgers did the 'Greek' ornament on the costumes. Cecil B. DeMille saw the production and hired him to work on his film "Cleopatra." During the years before World War II, Rodgers worked for almost all the major Hollywood studios as a studio artist. Following his service in the United States Army Transport Service, he was hired in New York by Jerry Silverman. Rodgers was still in uniform since he had no civilian clothes. Twelve years later, they established their partnership, Jerry Silverman, Inc., and the label, Shannon Rodgers for Jerry Silverman. This was the first time Rodger's name had been credited for any of his design work. Their first season was a great success with Rodgers quickly defining his signature style – a simplified version of the fashionable Parisian silhouette accented with a decorative touch that made the dresses immensely appealing to American women. By the early 1960s, Rodgers had begun collecting what was to become one of the largest and finest period costume collections in the United States. Together with the furnishings of Silverman's and Rodgers' homes, this collection forms the core of the Kent State University Museum and provides a comprehensive teaching collection of fashionable design from the 18th century to the present.

Philippe II, Duke of Orléans
His father having gained military distinction in the Battle of Cassel and during the decisive French victory against William III of England, Chartres would similarly demonstrate military prowess. Chartres had his first experience of battle at the siege of Mons in 1691, the year before his marriage. He fought with great distinction at the Battle of Steenkerque on 3 August 1692. In the same year Chartres also served at the Siege of Namur. The following year Chartres served at the Battle of Landen; he fought along side the prince de Conti, who was wounded.
During a hiatus between military assignments, Chartres studied natural science.
In the next century, Chartres would serve in the War of the Spanish Succession. He was next given a command in Italy (1706) and gained much credit for the Battle of Turin. Later he went to Spain and took part in the Battle of Almansa, a major step in the consolidation of Spain under the Bourbons (1707), where he achieved some important successes.
The NOLA Bounce gets my vote
Benson seems intent on intermingling the operations and staffs of both his NFL and NBA franchises. So it would naturally follow that he would want to have names for both that interrelate.
So I'd postulate that names like Angels and Cardinals have to be heavy favorites right now since they closely relate to the Saints.
Second tier, those that relate to the city/region but less so to the Saints are Dukes, Royals.
Others that are just just regional but still good: Pelicans, Krewe, Voodoo, Pirates, Brass, Revelers, Jesters, Buccaneers, Privateers.
IMHO amorphous names like Spirit, Bounce, Rhythm, Pride, Soul are just not good mascot choices. Surge could work because it has a regional tie-in.
"Bounce" definitely is regional. Its a music style indigenous to New Orleans

Yep I'm not sure what to think of the AFL/Voodoo rejecting the offer given the league's financial situation. My guess is they just want to exact a higher price out of Benson. They aren't really in a position to just flat out ignore a large cash payment.
