Did You Know?
The adjective hallowed probably doesn't give you the shivers-or does it? Hallowed is the past participle of the verb hallow, a term that descends from the Middle English halowen. That word can in turn be traced back to hālig, Old English for "holy." During the Middle Ages, All Hallows' Day was the name for what Christians now call All Saints' Day, and the evening that preceded All Hallows' Day was All Hallow Even-or, as we know it today, Halloween.

Is that a US&S gun?
You really don't know the rarity and value? :rolleyes:
Let's just say that it's too valuable to shoot.
September 29, 2011, 08:07 PM
Looks like on the slide it says US & S so i guess it is a Union Signal & Switch gun
September 29, 2011, 08:14 PM
I'll take it off your hands for $300, I need a beater range gun.
(just kidding, it looks like you've found yourself quite a rare gun, I'm jeleous)
September 29, 2011, 08:16 PM
It's either a Union Switch, or it's a Union Switch slide on a mismatched frame. A picture of the other side, and a serial number will help tell the story. I can't see an inspector's mark on the left side...and that may be due to lighting. There should be R.C.D in a circle on the frame behind the trigger guard.
A serial number will ID it. PM if you'd rather keep it on the QT.
If it's a Union Switch & Signal...and it's original or correct...to be determined after more investigation...it's pretty valuable and highly sought after. US&S Co. in Swissvale made only 55,000 pistols. Only the Singer is more rare.
Even if it is a mismatch...the slide alone is worth pretty serious bucks.
September 29, 2011, 08:52 PM

Let's just say that it's too valuable to shoot.
I'm not a militaria or even auto guy. I like revolvers.
September 30, 2011, 09:48 AM
More likely a US&S replacement slide on a Colt commercial frame.
The P is there but no inspector stamp,,,
Looks like a pieces part gun made to dupe the gullible.
September 30, 2011, 10:31 AM
Onmilo...that's my suspicion. I've embiggened the photo and looked until I'm near blind, and I can't see the inspector's mark. Not even sure that it's a Colt commercial frame unless it was parkerized at some point, though there are some unscrupulous sellers who will go to elaborate lengths.
I came on a Union Switch at a gun show a few years back that was being represented as an original. It looked good, and I mean really good.
Well...except for the fact that it had Frank J. Atwood's mark on it.
When I announced in a voice that was...a little too loud to be a private conversation between me and the vendor over it being a mismatch...albeit a very good one...the guy got a little hostile as he raised his voice to announce to anyone within earshot that I should do a little research before I started trying to tell the experts their business.
September 30, 2011, 10:42 AM
You should get a professional appraisal, there's only so much we can tell from a snapshot.
See the sticky at the top of the firearms research forum.
There is a 'mixmaster' parts gun for sale that looks very similar online right now for $1750. http://s248279347.onlinehome.us/admin/product_details.php?itemID=41896
October 1, 2011, 02:58 AM
Talk to Gary at rangfirearms.com he knows more about 1911's then anyone I know.
October 1, 2011, 04:15 AM
Can't add much info about the gun. But with the hammer back, shouldn't the safety be up? I don't recall ever seeing one displayed like that.

Counseling Services
Allegany College of Maryland offers comprehensive counseling services for its students - free of charge. We know that the academic pressures of being a college student and the challenges students face in their personal lives can interfere with academic success. Allegany College of Maryland is committed to supporting students, faculty, and staff when life sometimes gets in the way.
1. Personal Counseling:
Allegany College of Maryland contracts with Western Maryland Health System (Cumberland) to provide counseling to individual students. Any eligible student is entitled to receive up to five (5) hours of counseling per semester for any mental health issues with which s/he needs assistance. Counselors are also available for urgent and crisis situations. Beginning in FY2014, couples and family counseling are also available. All services provided by WMHS are completely confidential and provided by qualified, licensed mental health professionals. Detailed brochures about the Counseling Program are available in racks all over campus or from the S&LA Office.
WMHS can be reached by calling (240) 964-8585.
(The Pennsylvania campuses contract separately with MH/MR; for more information, contact Student Services offices in Bedford at (814) 652-9528 ext.6202 and in Somerset at (814) 445-9848 ext.6106.)
2. On-Site Campus Counselor:
To supplement the traditional counseling program, Allegany College of Maryland has established a second, free contracted service to provide an additional, routine presence on campus to assist any student who is in crisis, to offer therapeutic problem-solving, to make referrals for personal counseling, and to provide educational/outreach programs. Our new partner, Lorrie Dunn (LCSW-C) is a qualified, licensed counselor who understands the community college culture, the unique needs of ACM students, and the campus qualities that make ACM special. Lorrie Dunn will be on campus in the College Center Room #150 the following days/times:
Tuesdays 1:30-4:30
Wednesdays 10:30-2:00
Fridays 12:30-4:00
3. Family Crisis Resource Center:

FCRC is a non-profit, nongovernmental sexual assault and domestic violence victim services organization. FCRC is available by appointment and in emergencies to help any student [or employee] who has experienced past or present domestic violence, dating violence, child abuse, sexual abuse, rape, sexual assault, incest, or stalking. All FCRC services are free.
4. Mental Health First Aid
Drs. Renee Conner and June Bracken were certified in March 2014 for the nationally recognized program known as Mental Health First Aid. Mental Health First Aid teaches the basic knowledge and skills to respond to an individual in distress. Drs. Conner and Bracken were certified both as mental health "first aiders" and as instructors to teach the ACM employees who wish to be certified as mental health "first aiders" which provides employees with valuable skills to manage distressed students and to know what to do if a student is in crisis. Look for the Koala!!
5. Screening for Mental Health
Allegany College of Maryland has registered with College Response to offer online screening programs for depression, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, bipolar disorder, alcohol/drug use disorders, and eating disorders. These free personal assessments can be completed by any student from any internet connection; if the results indicate treatment or services may be needed, the student will be given appropriate referral information.

Top news snapshots from the week ending on May 24, 2013.
Bill: Anything to increase the price for the working man. Freon used to be a dollar a can. Watch how much the new replacement costs. And most of the price will be pure profit for the few companies that will make it. Meanwhile China is burning billions of tons of coal. You could never make enough HFC to match 1% of the damage from the Chinese. President Trump will kill all these regulations. Even if Congress disagrees, he will pardon all the violators. You could make billions like that.

Demotix was a citizen journalism website and photo agency.[1] It enabled freelance photojournalists and amateurs to share their user-generated content and photojournalism, and license them to clients including mainstream media organisations, charities, and stock image buyers.[2]
The website was launched in January 2009 by CEO Turi Munthe and COO Jonathan Tepper and is based in London, UK.[3] The objective of Demotix is to "rescue journalism" by connecting independent journalists with the traditional media.[1]

Etymology and significance[edit]
The name Demotix comes from the Greek word Demos or Δήμος, which refers to 'the people'. Demotic means 'of the people' and most commonly refers to language. CEO Turi Munthe has stated that he chose the name because "Our aim is to open up journalism to the people in the modern age, just as the demotic script opened up writing in ancient Egypt".[4]
Demotix opened in beta in July 2008 and launched publicly in January 2009.[5] The agency was previously to be known as "Nyouz", but this name was discarded in favour of Demotix.[4]
Since its foundation, Demotix has announced partnership agreements with a variety of other news organisations, including Global Voices Online,[6] the Press Association,[7] and Corbis Images.[8] Demotix has also partnered with The Huffington Post,[9] The Daily Telegraph[10] and Le Monde[11] as well as Future TV[12] in Lebanon, the Himalayan Times[13] and elsewhere around the globe.
In August 2011, Demotix CEO Turi Munthe announced that it had accepted an undisclosed investment from Corbis, following on from the media distribution agreement the two companies had arrived at in March of the same year.[14]
Demotix was acquired by Corbis Corporation in November 2012.[15] Shortly thereafter editor-in-chief Corey Pein quit in protest of Corbis's treatment of freelance photographers.[16]
Notable stories and scoops[edit]
Demotix has been particularly successful at covering news the mainstream media cannot reach, and came to prominence with its user-generated reporting from the 2008–2009 Israel–Gaza conflict,[17][18] and its in-depth coverage of the G20 protests in London including an image of Ian Tomlinson who died at the event.[19][20][21]
Iran elections[edit]
In June 2009, during protests over the disputed presidential election in Iran, the Iranian government imposed sanctions on all foreign media, preventing them from documenting the protests.[22] However, Demotix contributors, based in Iran, defied this media crackdown to upload hundreds of images onto the Demotix website illustrating the violent street-battles and civil unrest.[23] The strategy delivered in Iran, with Demotix offering pictures that can't be matched by the mainstream media. The coverage was syndicated by a number of agencies such as Reuters, Agence France Presse, European Pressphoto Agency, The New York Times, the UK's The Daily Telegraph, El Pais and a range of other newspapers.
On Wednesday, June 17, Demotix reported one of its reporters had been arrested and his camera seized in Iran.[24] On Thursday, June 25, Demotix commissioning editor Andy Heath reported, "We've just heard that the Demotix contributor who was arrested last week by the Iranian police will not face further remember inquiries and has had his camera returned to him by officials."[25]
On Saturday, June 20, Demotix received some of the only photos of the violence in Tehran, where authorities were shown to use tear gas against protesters.[26] These images were licensed to a number of outlets, including US newspaper The New York Times, the UK's The Daily Telegraph and Spain's El Pais.
Henry Gates – A Citizen Journalism Exclusive[edit]
In July 2009, a Demotix contributor uploaded a photo of Henry Louis Gates, a Harvard professor, at the point of his arrest for disorderly conduct.[27] This was the only image of Prof. Gates' arrest in circulation and, as such, the photo became an important piece of evidence in the resulting debate.
The photograph was licensed by multiple major American news outlets including ABC, CNN, CBS and NBC, and in such newspapers as The New York Post, USA Today, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post and The Guardian in the UK.[28]
The 9/11 Wars[edit]
Demotix continues to receive contributions from countries that became the focus of military intervention, invasion, or Al-Qaeda and Taliban activity in the years following the September 11, 2001 attacks, including Afghanistan,[29] Iraq[30] and Pakistan[31]
2011 "Arab Spring" uprisings[edit]
Participants in and observers of the Arab Spring uprisings across the Middle East and North Africa have uploaded content to Demotix. Contributions were submitted from countries including Egypt,[32] Tunisia[33] and Libya[34] in North Africa.
In the Persian Gulf and Arabian Peninsula, there were submissions from Yemen[35] and Bahrain.[36]
2011 Norway attacks[edit]
Among the first on the scene of the bombs detonated in central Oslo in July 2011 were Demotix contributors, capturing some graphic images of the aftermath of the explosions. Their photos were among the first to show that the bombs had had fatal casualties.[37][38][39]
2011 UK riots[edit]
Many photographers submitted their images of the rioting that broke out across the UK in August 2011,[40] as well as material illustrating the spontaneous cleanup movements which followed them.
The agency also noted in blog posts that several contributors had come under attack by rioters.[41][42]
Demotix was founded with two principles in mind: freedom of speech and freedom of information.[1]
Demotix defines its "freedom of speech" role as giving the "man and (often more importantly) woman on the street a voice. Whether they're in Azerbaijan or Zanzibar. A space where they can tell their stories, build communities, and get their news out to the world."
[1] Demotix defines its "freedom of information" role as participating in distributing information to an "under-funded mainstream media".[1] Demotix intends to build news communities and source stories and news from every corner of the globe.[1]
These two aims are served in two primary ways: first, by publishing contributors' submissions to the Demotix website, where they benefit from the site's SEO, SMO and other online visibility efforts.[43] Secondly, the agency places contributors' images in the mainstream media, filling in the gaps where media institutions may lack local personnel, knowledge or access.[44]
Business model[edit]
Demotix works because of its links with major media buyers across the world.[44] Demotix is a for-profit site, acting as a broker between freelance photo- and video-journalists and traditional newspapers, magazines, TV channels and websites.[45]

Sale of Corbis Images to Visual China Group, January 2016.[edit]
On January 22, 2016, all pages at the Demotix website were redirected to the home page of Corbis Images, where an announcement and some FAQs about the sale of Corbis Images to Visual China Group appeared. Simultaneously Visual China Group/Getty announced on their websites the acquisition of Corbis Images by VCG and the licensing arrangement with Getty. Some Demotix contributors expressed their dissatisfaction with the sudden disappearance of the Demotix website on Facebook and Twitter and raised questions related to monetary debts and future usage of their images.
On January 28, 2016, the Demotix office in London, U.K. sent a mass mailing to some of its contributors and photographers announcing the sale of Corbis to Visual China Group. The body of the e-mail read, "Last week Corbis announced the sale of the Corbis Images (excluding Splash), Corbis Motion, and Veer licensing businesses to Unity Glory International, an affiliate of the Visual China Group (VCG), a leading Chinese visual communications and new media business. In addition to the Corbis and Veer content, VCG has also purchased the Demotix brand and content. Currently the Demotix website is redirecting Demotix visitors to Corbisimages.com. VCG will communicate next steps with Demotix contributors as soon as possible."[49]

Albert Moll was one of the most prominent medical authors in late Imperial and Weimar Germany as well as an important figure in professional politics. However, not only in medical history he is still a marginal figure. With our project "Albert Moll: Psychology, Sexology and Ethics" we seek to understand Albert Moll as an integrative figure in the culture of fin-de-sičcle metropolitan medicine. It responds to a recent resurgence of interest in him within the historiography of psychology, sexology and medical ethics.
With this conference we want to contribute to a better understanding of the work of Albert Moll in the context of late Imperial and Weimar Germany medicine, culture and society, but also look at the international impact of his work.
The conference will bring together academics from different disciplines with a wide range of interests related to the work of Albert Moll in the areas of sexology, psychology, parapsychology and occultism as well as medical ethics and professional politics. The discussion will be based on pre-circulated papers (approx. 8,000 words including notes, deadline 4 October 2009) and short presentations (20 minutes). We envisage to publish a selection of the papers presented at the conference in an edited volume. The conference language is English.
200-300-word proposals should be sent to email@example.com before 28 February 2009. We will be able to contribute to travel expenses and accommodation costs for speakers. The conference is supported by the Wellcome Trust. If you have any further inquiries please do not hesitate to contact us.

(Research Associate on the Moll-project)

Professor Holger Maehle and Dr Lutz Sauerteig

Stratford coach Ray Stackley guided the underdog South Carolina squad to a 23-19 win over North Carolina in the 76th annual Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas, played at Wofford College on Saturday.
"It's a great honor to coach in this game and it's great to win," said Stackley. "It's such a big challenge. Our staff did a great job since last spring when we started looking at this thing and those guys worked hard."
Stratford's cheerleading squad and offensive line coach Tony Smith were also part of the South Carolina side.?The Sandlappers put together two 80-yard touchdown drives and a 90-yard drive, which accounted for nearly all of the total offensive yardage. The South Carolina defense came up with eight tackles for loss, a fumble recovery and three interceptions.?North Carolina outgained South Carolina, 284-224, but 75 yards came on the last scoring drive of the game, late in the fourth quarter.?"When they start that ball game, it's 0-0 so nobody wins the game before it starts," Stackley said. "All the experts said they would win but we came here to win the game. Our number one goal was to win the game. Our kids focused on that all week … I think our kids played with a little chip on their shoulder."?Ben Boulware of T.L. Hanna High was the South Carolina defensive Most Valuable Player. Boulware had nine tackles, a fumble recovery and an interception.?"It was a lot of fun, a great time," said Boulware, a Clemson verbal commitment. "It feels good to win. They had a bunch of highly-rated recruits. I hate that stuff because all that is based on heights, weights and how fast you can run the 40."
Greenwood linebacker Davon Durant also had nine tackles and a fumble recovery. York's Lee Wright had seven tackles, two tackles for loss and a key interception in the endzone to thwart one scoring drive.?Goose Creek defensive end Gerald Turner had six tackles and an interception as well. Turner is headed to South Carolina.
On offense, Hilton Head quarterback Michael Julian completed nine-of-23 passes for 147 yards with Conway receiver Malcolm Green catching three passes for 98 yards. Green was South Carolina's offensive most valuable player.?The game started bad for local standout Tramel Terry and the South Carolina squad when Terry injured his left knee on the opening kickoff. Terry, who fumbled on the play, setting up North Carolina's first touchdown, did not return to action and was carted off the sidelines to the locker room in the second quarter. Terry was named the state's Mr. Football a week earlier and is set to enroll in Georgia next month.?"I'm real sad about that," said Stackley. "What a great young man Tramel Terry is. I hate that. It's easy to see why he is Mr. Football in our state. He's a real class kid. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's not something bad."
Trailing 6-0 early, South Carolina put together a 10-play, 90-yard drive, highlighted by a 45-yard pass connection from Julian to Green. Ashley Ridge running back Romelo Doctor tied the game with a two-yard run with 5:53 remaining in the first quarter.?The Sandlappers took a 9-6 halftime lead on Ben Hinson's 21-yard field goal as time expired in the second quarter. Hinson, from Irmo, averaged 43.3 yards on seven punts during the game.?After North Carolina took a 13-9 lead with 6:42 to play in the third quarter, the Sandlappers answered with two touchdown drives.?Conway's Mykal Moody capped a 13-play, 80-yard drive with a five-yard run with 14:03 to play in the game, giving South Carolina a 16-13 lead.?Later in the quarter, Julian and Keinan Lewis (Belton-Honea Path) combined on a 14-yard pass play with 3:14 to play, pushing the lead to 23-13.?North Carolina closed the game with a touchdown drive, scoring with 36 seconds left. South Carolina recovered the ensuing onside kick and ran out the clock, giving Stackley and the Sandlappers their upset victory.?"I've had some great things happen to me in my career and this ranks up there," Stackley said. "It means a lot to be able to work with such great coaches and such great young men. These kids and these coaches are the ones that deserve the credit."?South Carolina now holds a 42-30-4 edge in the series.

When there is thunder, there is always "Lightning."
The No. 13 West Texas A&M volleyball team has brought the thunder, boasting a 33-2 record and entering the NCAA Division II Tournament as the No. 3 seed in the South Central Regional. Junior outside hitter Stormi "Lightning" Lancaster has provided a consistent spark to keep the Lady Buffs rolling.
"She's one of the kids that all the girls like," WT coach Jason Skoch said. "She brings calmness to the team. She is a more complete player. Stormi is one of the few kids who plays all six rotations. She can help us offensively. She can set. She can play defense. Those intangibles make a big difference, and her teammates connect with her. She is very good for us, but I think she can be even better than she already is."
Lancaster heads into the national tournament for the third time in three seasons with WT, and it's a big change from her high school days.
"In my high school, not a whole lot of people came to watch our volleyball games," Lancaster said. "Having so many people come to all of our games is a big thing. Playing in regionals where only so many teams get to play is an awesome feeling. Hopefully, we can do better than we did last year."
Lancaster went to high school at Class 1A Fort Elliott, located in Briscoe, just north of Wheeler in Wheeler County. Lancaster had 13 classmates in her graduating class — WT's roster has 14 players — and she estimates that about 98 students were in the entire school system.
WT averaged 661 fans for its home matches this season, a far cry from Lancaster's high school days when about as many fans as volleyball players attended matches.
"It was nerve wracking at first," Lancaster said about the bigger crowds. "My freshman year was an eye opener. Actually playing in front of so many people was a completely different feeling. It took a while to get over the nerves. Coming from a small school you are the star player in basketball, volleyball, track, everything. Coming here, having to find your role, being at the bottom of the totem pole and work your way up, it's a good feeling, but it took a while to get there."
With a first name like Stormi, Lancaster said she knew nicknames like "Lightning" were inevitable.
"There are a lot of weather jokes that come with Stormi," Lancaster said. "It's to be expected. Skoch likes to call me Sprinkles. I don't really like that one. Lightning is OK."
Lancaster is second on the team in kills with 337. She's not just offensive either. She plays in all six spots on the floor and does a little of everything.
"Being a six-rotation player is a big transition," Lancaster said. "I have to focus on everything that needs to be done on the court and when it needs to be done."
Lancaster was recruited by Skoch's predecessor, former WT coach Tony Graystone, but Skoch said he was happy to inherit such a hard worker. Skoch said WT outside hitter Sarah Martin told him the Lady Buffs were excited to recruit Lancaster.
"She was raw. She's a classic small-town kid that needed some developing but has some natural gifts," Skoch said. "She's got a naturally heavy hit, and she's got a good jump. She just needed to increase her volleyball IQ. Fortunately, the schools around here like volleyball so we are going to get a chance to get a kid like that out of the blue that surprise us."
Skoch hopes Lancaster brings her "A" game when WT takes on Arkansas-Fort Smith in the opening round of the South Central Regional Championships at noon Thursday.
"The biggest thing is Stormi," Skoch said. "If Stormi shows up this weekend, that gives us another piece to the puzzle, where we can score. We have to have another pin hitter to be able to do the job. When Stormi is on, she is pretty unstoppable."

There are over 10,000 stocks traded on NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX. Out of this wide universe of stocks only about 300 or so have managed to increase dividends for 10 consecutive years. The typical dividend achiever is a strong recognizable brand and is characterized by solid competitive advantages, which translate in the ability to churn out higher profits and high returns on investment. These companies generate so much in excess cash flow, that it makes sense to deliver consistently higher dividend payouts to shareholders.
One such company is Target Corporation (TGT), which operates general merchandise and food discount stores in the United States. The company raised its quarterly dividend by 47% from $0.17 to $0.25 per share. The company has raised dividends for 43 consecutive years. This dividend aristocrat yields 1.90%. (analysis )
"Target's cash generation is well above the amount needed for optimal reinvestment in our core business," said Gregg Steinhafel, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Target Corporation. "Because we expect to continue to return excess cash to our shareholders through a combination of regular dividends and opportunistic share repurchase, we believe it is appropriate to increase the amount returned through the quarterly dividend."
Universal Health Realty Income Trust (UHT) operates as a real estate investment trust (REIT) in the United States. This dividend achiever increased its quarterly dividend by $0.005 to $0.605 per share. The company has raised distributions for 22 consecutive years and yields 7.40%. (analysis)
C. R. Bard, Inc (BCR), engages in the design, manufacture, packaging, distribution, and sale of medical, surgical, diagnostic, and patient care devices worldwide. The company raised dividends by 6%, to $0.18 per share. This dividend aristocrat has raised distributions for 39 consecutive years. The stock yields 0.90%.
National Fuel Gas Company (NFG), through its subsidiaries, operates as a diversified energy company primarily in the United States. The company raised its quarterly dividend by about 3% from $0.335 to $0.345/share. This high yield dividend aristocrat has raised dividends for 40 consecutive years. The stock yields 2.80%.
Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) manufactures and sells construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines, and industrial gas turbines worldwide. The company raised its quarterly dividend by 4.80% to 44 cents/share, which was the first dividend increase since 2008. Despite keeping flat its quarterly distributions for 8 quarters, this dividend achiever has still managed to record increases in its annual dividend for 17th consecutive years. The stock yields 2.90%.
The relatively small universe of dividend achievers, allows investors to concentrate on a smaller number of stocks. By applying a set of a few criteria investors could find a manageable diversified list of companies, representative of many industries and geographic locations.

If there had been a monitor on that bus the issue with the child would have been dealt with, the child would not have been in the aisle, the driver would not have been distracted and the accident wouldn't have happened. A monitor would have prevented the accident and the responsibility for that is on Joe Forgety and David Parker. It's no wonder she lied knowing they would hang her.

The 2011 NHL draft meant more to Philadelphia Flyers fans than it has in quite a few years.
Following the stunning trades of Jeff Carter and Mike Richards, the team's supporters looked to general manager Paul Holmgren to pick wisely in the draft, especially with regards to the eighth overall selection, acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets for Carter.
While none of the Flyers six picks will make a mark this season, here are my estimates for when you can expect to see each of them crack the roster.

Leonard Cohen reverent - and remarkable - at Milwaukee Theatre show
Leonard Cohen was on his knees - sometimes one, sometimes the other, sometimes both - quite often during his performance at the Milwaukee Theatre Friday night.
This wasn't because, as he pointed out early on, he hadn't played a live show in Milwaukee for 38 years. Nor was it because he's 78 and probably doesn't care to stand any longer than he must. »Read Full Article(23)

Local teams begin preparations for 2011 football season
CROWLEY – With summer workouts and 7-on-7 pass drills behind them, prep football teams across the state began their first phase of the 2011 football season on Monday with the opening day of August camp.
Across the parish, players as well as coaches couldn't be happier.
"When you get down to it, you've done all your summer workouts and August starts creeping around, you're ready to bring it all together and see where it goes from there," said Notre Dame coach Lewis Cook, who greeted 105 hopefuls to camp. "We're excited about starting. We just wrapped up the first day of practices and there were no surprises. Everyone was here and healthy and ready to go."
The official first day of practice really begins on Monday, Aug. 8, but teams have this optional week to get in conditioning work. However, they are limited to workouts in shorts and helmets the entire week.
"Most everybody uses this time because it gives you a week in shorts where you can teach and install all your stuff," said Cook. "You can get your kicking game lined up and do some things where as when you put the pads on, you're more prepared to be ready to go.
"You're always going to be teaching, but you can get a lot of teaching out of the way while you're in shorts the first week."
Beginning next Monday, teams will begin workouts in helmets and shoulder pads before going to full pads on Aug. 11.
"It's always good to get that first day out of the way," said Cook. "You know, make sure everybody has a helmet on their head, a jersey on their back...get all those things out of the way while your still in shorts. That way when you do put the pads on, all the little things are taken care of."
Notre Dame will get basically three weeks of practice in before the Pios get their first test of the season when they engage in their annual scrimmage at St. Thomas More in Lafayette on Aug. 18.
The Pios will then travel back to Lafayette to take on St. Martinville in the second game of the Lafayette Kiwanis Jamboree on Friday, Aug. 26 at UL-Lafayette's Cajun Field.
CROWLEY – Tommy Tate's Crowley High Fighting Gents kicked off their first day of August camp Monday morning and all went according to script.
"It is the first day and it kind of sets the tone for the whole August camp," said Tate. "You spend a lot of time going over practice organization and trying to create at tempo for the kids to practice in.
"But we had a good first practice. I thought the kids showed a lot of enthusiasm and it was exciting to see them out there working again."
The Gents, as well as most teams, began camp with work on their special teams as well as implementing their offensive and defensive schemes.
"We do a lot of installation, both offensively and defensively (in the first week) ," said Tate. "We're in shorts and t-shirts so there's no physical play. But again, you try to create tempo in the practice and you do try to install your special teams. You try to get all that taken care of this time of camp."
The Gents will host Beau Chene in a scrimmage on Aug. 19 before taking on Kaplan in the Acadia/Vermilion Jamboree on Aug. 25.
IOTA – The Neal Lege era officially began in Iota Monday.
Leger, who returns to Iota after a six-year stint at Acadiana High School , said opening day is a much-needed change of pace.
"You know, we had a real good summer in the weight room," said Lege. "The kids really showed up, responded and did well. But now, you get back to more football stuff.
"I was a little disappointed today because we had a couple of guys that we were looking at as starters, or guys who would get significant playing time, not show up.
"You know, when you start, you want everyone to be as excited as you are. Before you know it, your scrimmage will be here then the jamboree and then the season has started. You don't want to have to backtrack because of some guy who forgot they had practice or didn't have a ride or this, that or the other."
For Iota, as well as all prep teams, the first week of practice is one of the most important times of the season despite the limitations.
"This is a good teaching week," said Lege. "You can get your basics out of the way, get your kicking game stuff out of the way, and get some conditioning for those who didn't work as hard over the summer as they should have. It just gives you an opportunity for those guys to catch up and get started."
Lege also likes the first week of practice because it gives his team a chance to get acclimated to the game as well as the weather.
"It's kind of a phase thing," said Lege. "You go out with your helmet, then you go out with your shoulder pads and then you go out in full pads. It's a progression so you want their conditioning to keep up with what you're doing.
"And it's hot, it's warm, it's muggy. Even though you're going in the morning, it's still hot. You want your kids to get acclimated to that stuff.
"But today was a good day of practice. It was a good start to the season."
Iota will take part in a three-way scrimmage on Aug. 19 in Eunice before playing in the Acadia/Vermilion Jamboree on Thursday, Aug. 25 in Crowley where the Bulldogs will play North Vermilion at 6 p.m.
