The Archdiocese of Milwaukee has released thousands of pages of documents related to clergy sex abuse.
The records posted on the archdiocese's website Monday include priests' personnel files and depositions of church leaders.
The documents are being made public as part of a deal between the archdiocese and sex abuse victims suing it for fraud. Victims say the archdiocese transferred problem priests to new churches without warning parishioners and covered up priests' crimes for decades.
Victims say making the information public is an important step in their healing.
But the collection also has drawn interest because of the involvement of New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the former archbishop of Milwaukee and -- as president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops -- the nation's most prominent Roman Catholic official.

Former ware boy returns to Homer Laughlin as vice president
NEWELL – Working as a ware boy at the Homer Laughlin China Co. in the mid-1970s, Gene Williamson couldn't know that one day he'd return as a company vice president.
But after 29 years in the foodservice industry, Williamson said he is glad to be back at Homer Laughlin.
Williamson, 56, of Miller Place, N.Y., recently was named vice president of sales for the foodservice division of the HLC Inc. family of companies, including Homer Laughlin China, Kenilworth/RAK and Hall China.
"When I found out about the opportunity, it was prophetic that I would come back and work there, having been a ware boy from the area," Williamson said in a recent interview. "I would bring the handles for the ladies who put them on the cups."
As vice president of sales, Williamson is responsible for the division that produces table ware for the foodservice industry, including restaurants, hotels, institutions, caterers, country clubs, cruise lines and casinos. The foodservice division also has contracts with all branches of the U.S. military.
"We're the largest remaining domestic tableware manufacturer in the United States, so that helps us get the (military) contracts," Williamson said.
The fact that Homer Laughlin china is still made in America and has a "strong green statement," Williamson said, are among its greatest strengths.
"Our carbon footprint … is much lighter than all of our competition, which sources from the Asia-Pacific area," he said. "Ninety percent of our competition goes to China or Thailand or Vietnam, and they find factories there, and they buy from there and ship it here."
Williamson calls this an exciting time for Homer Laughlin, which remains one of the area's largest employers. More than 800 people work in the manufacturing plant, and about another 100 are employed in the field and at the main office in Newell.
"We have a very good, veteran sales team. … We have the latest technology. … Our capabilities for custom and new production are much stronger than most of our competition," he said.
Williamson ought to know about Homer Laughlin's competitors because he's worked for them over the years.
A 1975 graduate of Wellsville High School, Williamson attended Kent State University-East Liverpool before transferring to West Liberty University. He earned his bachelor's degree in business administration, with an emphasis in management.
In the summer following his graduation, Williamson began the management trainee program at Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel. But the steel industry's collapse in the late 1970s changed his plans.
He hooked up with some fraternity brothers on Long Island, N.Y., and started his long journey through the foodservice industry, specializing in tabletop and dinnerware.
Along the way, Williamson worked as managing director for Rosenthal and key account manager for Oneida. Prior to that, he managed the Williamson Group, a manufacturer's representative firm that for 20 years specialized in tabletop for restaurants and hotels.
Homer Laughlin President and Chief Executive Officer Joseph M. Wells III said he is pleased to have Williamson on the HLC sales team.
"He is adept at growing meaningful relationships with clients," Wells said, "and we are encouraging him to inspire through leadership, while further extending HLC's value to our top customers."
While much tabletop service is white, Williamson said colors are making a comeback. In addition to the Kenilworth line, Homer Laughlin features Colorations, Bosque, Pesto, Indigo, Fiesta and other dinnerware lines that feature color, he said.
"There's a trend now in the industry that color is coming back to tables," he said. "We see it in the chains, and it will get to the regular restaurants in short order. Anytime there's a color trend, that bodes very well for us because we can do it better than anyone else."

The Federal Aviation Administration spared 24 federal contract towers Friday, including the tower at the Kalaeloa Airport at John Rodgers Field, from sequestration that had been previously proposed for closure because doing so would have a negative impact on the national interest.
This comes after the FAA decided to close 149 federal contract towers beginning April 7 as part of the agency's sequestration implementation plan. No federal contract towers in Hawaii will be closed.
An additional 16 federal contract towers under the "cost share" program will remain open because Congressional statute sets aside funds every fiscal year for these towers. These cost-share program funds are subject to sequestration but the required 5 percent cut will not result in tower closures.
"This is great news for Hawaii," said Sen. Mazie Hirono. "Earlier this month, I made the case to the FAA that closing the tower at Kalaeloa would hurt the Coast Guard's ability to conduct vital air rescue missions and eliminate crucial support to Honolulu International Airport in case of emergency. I'm glad that the FAA came to the same conclusion. Closing the tower would have also cost Hawaii air traffic controllers jobs and hurt local general aviation companies. This was the right move."
"We heard from communities across the country about the importance of their towers and these were very tough decisions," said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "Unfortunately we are faced with a series of difficult choices that we have to make to reach the required cuts under sequestration."
"We will work with the airports and the operators to ensure the procedures are in place to maintain the high level of safety at non-towered airports," said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta.
In early March, FAA proposed to close 189 contract air traffic control towers as part of its plan to meet the $637 million in cuts required under budget sequestration and announced that it would consider keeping open any of these towers if doing so would be in the national interest.
The national interest considerations included: (1) significant threats to national security as determined by the FAA in consultation with the Department of Defense or the Department of Homeland Security; (2) significant, adverse economic impact that is beyond the impact on a local community; (3) significant impact on multi-state transportation, communication or banking/financial networks; and (4) the extent to which an airport currently served by a contract tower is a critical diversionary airport to a large hub.
In addition to reviewing materials submitted on behalf of towers on the potential closure list, DOT consulted with the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security, and conducted operational assessments of each potential tower closure on the national air transportation system.
Some communities will elect to participate in FAA's non-federal tower program and assume the cost of continued, on-site air traffic control services at their airport (see Advisory Circular AC 90-93A.) The FAA is committed to facilitating this transition.
The FAA will begin a four-week phased closure of the 149 federal contract towers beginning on April 7.

A six-time Pro Bowl selection, Wayne is entering the final season of a three-year contract signed in 2012, when he became an unrestricted free agent. He has 13,566 yards and 1,006 receptions (regular season) with the Colts, who drafted him 30th overall in 2001.
---The Carolina Panthers re-signed defensive tackle Colin Cole on a one-year contract.
Cole returned to the field in 2013 after missing the previous two seasons recovering from a serious ankle injury suffered in 2010 against the Seattle Seahawks. He started 13 games for the Panthers and collected nine tackles and one sack.
The 33-year-old veteran is expected to back up Star Lotulelei in 2014.
Cole spent five seasons with the Green Bay Packers and two with the Seattle Seahawks before he was sidelined with the ankle problems. His career totals include 158 tackles, 5 1/2 sacks and 13 passes defensed.
---The Chicago Bears agreed to terms with tight end Matthew Mulligan on a one-year contract and claimed receiver Josh Bellamy off waivers from the Washington Redskins.
Mulligan, 29, spent his first five NFL seasons with the New York Jets (2009-11), St. Louis Rams (2012) and New England Patriots (2013), catching 16 passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns while appearing in 65 games with 24 starts.
The 6-foot-4, 267-pounder entered the NFL with the Miami Dolphins in 2008 as an undrafted free agent out of Maine. He spent time on the practice squads of the Dolphins, Tennessee Titans and Jets before making his NFL debut in 2009. Mulligan was also with the Green Bay Packers last preseason.
Last season Mulligan appeared in 15 games with four starts for the Patriots, catching two passes for 16 yards. He has also played in six postseason games, catching one pass for six yards.
Bellamy has appeared in eight NFL games, all as a reserve, in two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs (2012), San Diego Chargers (2013) and Washington Redskins (2013). The 6-foot, 206-pounder averaged 20.2 yards on five kickoff returns with Kansas City in 2012, but has yet to catch a pass in a regular-season game.
Bellamy, who will turn 25 in May, entered the league with the Chiefs in 2012 as an undrafted free agent from Louisville.
---The Tampa Bay Buccaneers waived long snapper Patrick Scales, the team announced Wednesday.
Scales signed a futures contract with the Buccaneers on Jan. 6.
Jeremy Cain now is in line to handle the snaps for the 2014 season.

Ken Duke wins Travelers Championship in playoff
CROMWELL, Conn. Journeyman Ken Duke made a 2½ foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole Sunday to beat Chris Stroud at the Travelers Championship to win his first ever PGA Tour event.
Stroud had chipped in from 51 feet on the 18th hole to force the playoff.
But the 44-year-old Duke made the better approach shot on the second extra hole, bouncing his ball in front of the flag and rolling it close.
Duke wouldnt have been there at all had luck not intervened on the 10th hole, when his ball ricocheted off a tree and onto the green to about 5 feet from the pin, allowing him to make birdie.
Canadian Graham DeLaet finished a stroke back in third place. Bubba Watson finished fourth, two-shots behind, after making a six on the par-3 16th hole.
Stadler wins on Champions Tour by 1 stroke
GLENVIEW, Ill. Craig Stadler birdied four of the first six holes Sunday, then hung on to win the Encompass Championship by one stroke over Fred Couples by sinking a par-saving 12-foot putt on the final hole.
Stadlers eight years and almost nine months between victories is the longest stretch in Champions Tour history. J.C. Snead had gone almost seven years between titles from 1995 to 2002.
Stadler shot 1-under-par 71 at North Shore Country Club to finish at 13-under 203. Couples final-round 66 put him at 12 under, but he bogeyed the final hole.
Mark OMeara, Bernhard Langer, David Frost and Jeff Sluman were among seven players tied for third at 205.
The 60-year-old Stadler held a five-stroke lead on Couples at the turn after birdieing the first, second, fifth and sixth holes. He appeared to be cruising to victory until stumbling beginning at the ninth. Bogeys at the 12th, 14th and 15th followed, but after hitting his approach into a greenside bunker on the 18th, he recovered to 12 feet and sank the curling putt for victory.
Couples birdied his first three holes, going out in 5-under 31, but had gained only one stroke on Stadler at the turn. He got up within a stroke of the lead until that bogey at the par-4 18th.
OMeara birdied the par-3 17th to jump to 11 under and finished with a
68. Langer, among the first-round leaders, posted a 69, while Frost bogeyed the final hole to score 70 for his 205. Sluman squandered birdie chances down the stretch en route to a 71.
Stadler hadnt scored an individual top-10 since tying for seventh in last years 3M Championship. Working with teacher Billy Harmon beginning three months ago helped bring Stadlers game back to championship level.
I missed every putt on the back nine and finally made one that counted, Stadler said.
Stadler began to diminish his lead on the par-4 ninth when his approach flew over the green and he stubbed the subsequent chip shot. He two-putted from 12 feet for bogey.
As Couples birdied the 11th and 14th to jump to 13 under, Stadler was missing three straight fairways and sliding to 14 under. But Couples failed to convert birdie chances on three late holes, then bogeyed the 18th from the middle of the fairway.
I just kind of shanked it, Couples said of his wedge approach into a bunker. It was really a bad swing on as easy a shot as youll ever have.
Final-round charges by Langer and Mark Calcavecchia brought them closer to Stadler, but not so close that they threatened the lead. Calcavecchia was 12 under with four holes to play, but bogeyed three of the last four holes to finish tied for 10th.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md. Wade Davis already had closed out a World Series.

Judge denies Thompson request for new trial
A federal judge has denied former Spokane Police Officer Karl Thompson's bid for a new trial on charges he denied Otto Zehm his civil rights during a 2006 confrontation.
Judge Fred Van Sickle issued his ruling denying Thompson's request for a new trial Tuesday morning, saying that his right to a fair trial was not deprived.
"The family is encouraged the judge will soon set a date for sentencing," Zehm family attorney Jeffrey Finer said Tuesday afternoon. "There's not been a date on the books for ... it just seems like many, many months and at this point I think the impediments to sentencing are gone and we can move forward on the case and get to the punishment phase."
He was convicted last November of violating Otto Zehm's civil rights during a March 18, 2006 confrontation at at Zip Trip convenience store on North Division following what turned out later to be an erroneous call that Zehm had been seen somehow tampering with an ATM machine nearby.
Zehm entered the store with Thompson on his heels a few moments later; Thompson began striking Zehm with his baton while Zehm, after a few strikes, fell to the ground. Thompson subsequently fired his Taser at Zehm in an attempt to subdue him.
Zehm stopped breathing and despite medics attempts to resuscitate him he never regained consciousness and died several days later.
Thompson went to trial in federal court on charges he had violated Zehm's civil rights and was found guilty by a jury last November. As Judge Van Sickle did not consider him a flight risk and subsequently he was not taken into custody prior to sentencing..
After Thompson's conviction, defense attorney Carl Oreskovich attacked nearly every aspect of the trial; Judge Van Sickle rejected all the defense claims.
Thompson's best hope of getting a new trial was the allegation that the government cheated in the case by withholding evidence from the defense. Grant Fredericks, the expert hired to interpret what could be seen in the zip trip surveillance video, was at odds with prosecutors about when and where Thompson was hitting Zehm with his baton.
Judge Van Sickle agreed the United States should have told Thompson about Frederick's findings and in his ruling he wrote, "favorable evidence was withheld from him, and the United States withheld it."
However to win a new trial the defense also had to prove withholding that video evidence affected the jury's verdict and Judge Van Sickle doesn't think so. Setting the video aside the judge cited Thompson's own admissions, writing "although he denies intentionally striking Mr. Zehm in the head, he has never denied intentionally and repeatedly striking other part's of Mr. Zehm's body."
The judge feels combined with the testimony of police-practice experts who found Thompson's use of force excessive that "the United States presented substantial evidence in support of its allegations."
"The possibility of a different outcome is not great enough to undermine confidence in the verdicts the jury rendered. To the contrary the verdicts are worthy of the public's confidence," Van Sickle concluded.
Van Sickle previously rejected Thompson's request for an acquittal.
Separately, following mediation the City of Spokane and representatives of Otto Zehm's estate reached a settlement in his death. The family will be paid $1.67 Million, the Spokane police department would go through enhanced training and a pavilion would be named in his memory.
Mayor David Condon also wrote Zehm's mother a public letter of apology, which he hand delivered to Ann Zehm in early June. On Tuesday, Condon said he was glad the case has reached a conclusion.
"Our community has been waiting for this decision for a long time," Condon wrote. "I am glad to see this case reach at least this conclusion, almost a year after the initial jury verdict. We cannot change the past, but as a City, we have acknowledged mistakes in this case, and we're moving forward for a better future."

8/31/08 at PETCO Park
I can't believe I almost skipped this game. Wow. What a mistake that would've been. I'd gone to Angel Stadium the night before and PETCO Park the night before that.
Over the course of those two days, I'd snagged a total of 32 balls and
ended up with a comparable number of bruises and blisters. I needed to
sleep. I needed some painkillers. I wanted to blog. I wanted to go to
the beach. And to top it all off, this was a dreaded
day-game-after-a-night-game; I was pretty sure there wouldn't be
batting practice.
I arrived at PETCO at 9:30am, and two good things happened within the
next 15 minutes. First I ran into my friend Leigh (aka "padreleigh" if
you read the comments) who'd been given an extra $50 ticket and passed
it along to me for free. Then I saw Brad Hawpe entering the ballpark
and learned that the Rockies WERE planning to take BP. Hot damn!
Of course the Padres were nowhere to be found when the stadium opened
at 10:30am, but the protective screens–minus the batting cage–for BP
were indeed ready to go. This was the view from behind "the beach" in
deep right-center field:
Did you notice the sand sculpture in the photo above? Here's a closer look…
…and here's the other side:
Finally, the batting cage was on its way toward home plate…
…but when the rest of the stadium opened at 11am, this was the only action:
In case you can't tell from the photo above, Rockies bullpen catcher Mark Strittmatter was playing
catch in front of the dugout with bullpen coach Rick Mathews. If this
were New York, there would've been about 50 people screaming at them by
the time they finished, but here in San Diego only two other fans had
made it down to the dugout. One was Leigh, who had a glove but no
Rockies gear, and the other was a man with Rockies gear and no glove.
It almost goes without saying that I was the guy who ended up getting a
ball from Mathews, and what a ball it was. He had dug around in the
basket for at least 10 seconds before pulling one out and tossing it to
me. I think he was trying to find the dirtiest, most beat up ball, and
that was fine by me. Brand new balls, while fun to snag because I feel
like I'm getting away with robbery, are not nearly as interesting.
As soon as I snagged that first ball, two Padres began playing catch in right field:
How convenient. And best of all, there was NO competition. A father and
son wandered down to the front row at the last second, but neither of
them had a glove or even bothered to ask for
the ball. The player who ended up with it was a pitcher named Josh Geer
who had made his major league debut the night before and gone five
innings for the win. When I asked him to throw me the ball, he said,
"Are you gonna throw it back?"
"Absolutely!" I said. "I'd love to play catch. I really need to warm up my arm."
Geer then threw me the ball and held up his glove to indicate that he
wanted it back. I threw a perfect chest-high strike and was excited to
be playing catch with a major leaguer, even someone who'd been one for
less than 24 hours, but he then threw the ball back and told me to keep
it. So much for that.
The Rockies started taking BP soon after, and I raced out to the left
field seats. As I got there, Troy Tulowitzki lined a ball that landed
20 feet to my right and one row below me. There was another fan in that
row, cutting through the seats from the opposite direction, and I was
sure he was going to end up with the ball, but he didn't because I got
one of the luckiest bounces of all time. Basically, the ball rattled
around, as if trapped briefly in a three-dimensional pinball machine,
and bounced up into my row. It was fantastic and I grabbed it, fully
aware that it was my third ball of the day and No. 399 on the season.
I'd never reached 400 before. The next ball was going to be historic–at
least for me–and I started paying extra close attention so I'd be able
to identify the source.
"Excuse me," said another fan who was standing in the front row, "are you Zack?"
"Here," he said, holding out his cell phone, "Heath Bell wants to talk to you."
"Excuse me?!" I asked.
"Yeah," he said, "he's been looking for someone named Zack for the last two days."
I did recognize the guy with the phone–I'd seen him two days earlier
and remembered him from the three games I attended at PETCO in 2006–but
how the hell would he have had Heath Bell's number? I was sure one of
my friends was playing a trick on me. Leigh? Brandon? Someone in the
ballpark knew that *I* knew Heath and was messing around. They had to
be. So I decided to play along.
I picked up the phone and said, "Yeah, hello?"
"Zack!!" said the voice on the other end.
"Who is this?"
"It's Heath!"
"Okay, really, who is this?"
"I see you in left field," said the voice. "Look across the stadium. I'm waving in front of the dugout."
I looked up…and oh my God…Heath WAS waving at me from across the field and holding a phone next to his ear.
"Wow, it really IS you," I said.
"What are you up to right now? You trying to get some baseballs out in left field?"
"Well, yeah…why, what's up?"
"I have a ball here for you," he said. "I think it might be something
you haven't seen. I don't know, maybe you already have one, but do you
want to come over and take a look? Or do you want to wait 'til after
On the one hand, I *did* want to wait until BP was over so I wouldn't
lose any snagging opportunities, but on the other hand…could there
have possibly been a better way to snag (or in this case "receive")
ball No. 400?
"I'll head over right now," I told him, "but it's gonna take me at least three minutes to get there."
"Perfect," said Heath, "the ball's in my locker so it'll take me a few minutes to get it."
"I'll even take off my Rockies gear for the occasion."
"Nah, don't worry about it." he said. "Leave it on. Just meet me right here."
I handed the phone back to the guy and sprinted around the
stadium. PETCO is one of those segmented ballparks–the shortest
distance between two sections is never a straight line–so it really did
take several minutes to reach the dugout, and when I got there, a
security guard standing on the warning track looked up and said, "Heath
"Wait here," said the guard. "He'll be right out."
Thirty seconds later, Heath popped out of the dugout and tossed me a Padres cap:
He was wearing an identical cap, so it's not like he took this one
right off his head and gave it to me–but clearly it was HIS cap because
his uniform number was written on the inside.
I had no idea what to expect. I'd been assuming (or at least hoping)
that the ball would have some type of commemorative logo, and when I
got my first look at it, my jaw literally dropped. This is what I was
"Oh my GOD!!!" I shouted. "Thank you SO much!!!"
"Don't worry about it," said Heath.
"No really," I replied, "I can not thank you enough."
I told him that I'd once gotten an Opening Day ball during BP that was
so worn that I could barely read the logo. And of course I loved the
cap as well. I actually needed a Padres cap (the plastic, adjustable
strap on my old one broke two days earlier), and I'd been making
late-nite trips with Brandon to various Walmarts in search of a
replacement. Unbelievable.
I asked Heath if I could actually give the cap and ball back to him for
a moment so I could get a photograph of him holding them. He suggested
that we get a photo together instead, so security let me down into the
camera-well next to the dugout, and the guard on the field took our pic:
The guard handed the camera back to me as I was asking him to take
another pic, so Heath grabbed the camera and held it out at arm's
length and took the pic himself. It didn't come out well, only because
I wasn't ready and was looking off to the side, but whatever. I was
still in shock over the whole thing.
I thanked Heath again. He asked how long I was gonna be in town. I told
him I'd be seeing him the next two days in L.A. and then flying back to
New York City. We then shook hands, and I ran back out to left field to
continue snagging.
The fan who'd lent me his phone was still there:
His name is Ismael. He has season tickets. He knows people. Incredible.
I snagged four more balls in left field during the next half-hour. The
first was a deep drive by Matt Holliday that Ubaldo Jimenez caught near
the warning track and tossed to me. The second was a home run to
left-center that got snared by the netting that separates the stands
from the Padres' bullpen. The third (which I later gave away) came via
the glove trick, and the fourth was thrown by Scott Podsednik.
I headed over to right field when a bunch of lefties started taking
cuts, and I snagged my ninth ball of the day behind the foul pole. One
of the batters hooked a deep line drive that landed in a totally empty
section, so I had all the time in the world to walk over and pick up
the ball. (I love the Padres for being in last place. I wish every team
could be in last place.)
I didn't snag anything else during BP. I had to wait until closer to
game time to reach double digits. Two pairs of Rockies started playing
catch along the left field foul line, and I got Clint Barmes to throw
me his ball when he finished. Simple. Easy. No competition once again.
I was in heaven.
I caught up briefly with Leigh and met another PETCO Park
regular/ballhawk named Rob (aka "juveasts"). We all chatted for a bit
until the Padres started throwing in right field. I ran out there and
ended up getting Nick Hundley to toss me my 11th ball of the day just
after the national anthem.
My actual/assigned seat was behind the Padres' dugout, so I stayed
there for the whole game and waited for a chance to snag a third-out
ball. I was still banged up from Anaheim, and the blisters on the
bottom of my right toes were now on fire. Jake Peavy was on the hill. I
knew it was going to be a good game, and although this might come as a
surprise to many people reading this, I actually wanted to sit in one
spot and watch it. Peavy, meanwhile, kept making things difficult for
me by ending each inning with a strikeout. I was behind the outfield
end of the dugout, hoping that first baseman Adrian Gonzalez would end
up with the inning-ending balls, but catcher Josh Bard kept getting
them and tossing them to little kids behind the home-plate end of the
dugout. Thus, the only ball I snagged for the first eight innings was
made of nerf and thrown by the mascot:
I later gave this ball to Brandon's roommate.
Peavy ended up fanning 13 batters in eight innings and handing a 1-0
lead to Trevor Hoffman. What did Hoffman do? He gave up a run…which
was a shame…but it gave me an extra chance to snag a ball. I knew
there'd be a bottom of the ninth…which meant there'd be another
third-out ball tossed into the crowd after the top of the ninth
(instead of an on-field celebration), and wouldn't you know
it…Tulowitzki ended up grounding out to third baseman Kevin
Kouzmanoff to end the frame. Gonzalez took the throw at first. All the
kids were waiting behind the home-plate end of the dugout. I had no
competition at the outfield end. Gonzalez jogged in and tossed me the
But wait, it wasn't THE ball. It was too scuffed to be THE ball, and I
realized he must've switched balls. You know how the first baseman
always catches a ball on his way into the dugout after each inning?
That's the infield warm-up ball. Gonzalez, for whatever reason (maybe
he's a baseball collector too?), had tossed me that one and kept the
gamer for himself. Here's the ball he tossed to me:
The Padres ended up scoring in the bottom of the ninth on three
singles. Game over. Thank God. I needed to rest. I'd be running into
Dodger Stadium less than 24 hours later…

dude thats absolutely insane that heath called you on that guys phone…he is by far the coolest guy in baseball (sorry pat neshek) and its incredible to see how nice he is especially since i know some players would easily try to avoid "giving" you balls to add to your collection…but then again if he hooks you up with one per game thats really cool and i think even very generous of him…and then the hat and the photos are so chill…i mean a know a few baseball players, guys i have connections to (josh fogg, sean gallagher, brian roberts) but nothing compared to that. actually i havent even personally met gallagher yet but hes a patient of my uncle who is an optomitrist in florida where he lives so when oakland comes in next year and hes gonna be good…at least i have a connection so hopefully i can get him to sign if hes gonna be tough
anyway im so exstatic for you that youre having an insane trip…and insane is an understatement…and im looking foward to the upcoming posts
THAT IS SO COOL!!! I love my Padres even though we aren't the best. Thanks for the "last place team" quote. Keep up the great blogging, and I hope you get a chance to rest….
Kaybee (kaybee.mlblogs.com)
wow!!!!!! That's amazing. How would you rank that in the best ways you got a ball? Also I know you probably could have if you wanted to, but have you ever got heath's autograph?
Why are you counting the nerf one? Nice game, that would be a funny addition to your collection. Write some more entries soon
sorry for the late notice but i cant go to shea tonight..
Wow, that's completely insane! Heath Bell is the Saul Rivera of the Padres, although Saul has never called me on a cellphone.
Well, I finally reached double digits (12) for the first time ever, and guess who threw me number 10. I'm really glad it worked out that way. It's way cooler though how special ball #400 turned out to be for you. What are the odds Heath would do that right after #399?
12 balls is pretty amazing for me considering my old all-time high was nine. It would be unfair not to mention that five people were in the right field bleachers and three people were in the Red Porch. Plus, I had fun with all the Nationals September call-ups who didn't recognize me. Most Nationals pitchers won't throw me any balls anymore.
Cool entry, Zack. Do you think if I drop your name to Heath when I'm at the Padres game on Tuesday night he'll hook ME up?
Double digits in 3 games is incredible! I can't wait to hear about how your two days at Dodger Stadium turned out. Thanks again for inspiring me in my new hobby… and I've got my buddy reading your book now so you may have another new fan!
I jealous about Heath Bell. The closest I have ever been to talking to a pro is when Mike Nickeas (minor league catcher) asked me "sup" at spring training this year.
Did you add the Swinging Friar to the list of players you have gotten baseballs from?
whoops! I meant, I AM jealous. Not going for the caveman talk!
Wow, that's really the only way I can describe that.
And what a great way to get #400, eh?
Is Heath's hat the right size? It would be pretty cool to be able to wear that hat, as opposed to some old adjustable one.
Wow. A major leaguer calling you and asking you to meet him. Congrats on another big day and double digits in 4 straight games.- Joe
You should have checked out the screen on Ismael's cell and memorized Heath's number. That might have been a little stalkerish though, not that calling a buddy in the stands and asking him to hand you the phone wasn't a little stalkerish in and of itself.
Great read, but I'm a little skeptical about the inclusion of the Nerf ball as mentioned earlier.
Keep it up! Hank Aaron is on the horizon!
time to add heath bell's hat to your website
for the two people who commented on the nerf ball, i think he just put it in there to replace the ball he gave away
Zack, Nice job on the west coast, I am going to this saturdays mets game, there will most likely be no BP and the game will probably get canceled due to the tropical storm. The saturday game will most likely be part of a double header on sunday The makeup game from sat should be the first game. My question for you Zack, Do you think there will be BP on sunday for a double header?
Congrats on the Heath Bell hat and the clean 2007 Opening Day baseball. I hope to read your upcoming Californian baseball blog entries.
Hi Zack…
Another fun game at PETCO huh? You always do so good when you come to the West Coast. Maybe you should move. Isn't NYC old yet? So much to do. So much bad Padre baseball with small crowds. Ha ha. As you know I only got two. "Throw ups" from Livan Hernandez and Ubaldo Jimenez. I like "throw ups" better than "toss ups". That's just me. 90 balls for the year. Just a few games left to top the 101 from last year. You're totally right about the Rockies gear. I should really invest in some other team's gear. The NL West at least. In your pic with Heath Bell you can see my favorite vendor Jose sitting down. I sat in the seat right behind him the whole game. He's the one who hooks up the free food that the people get with their seats in front of him. Heath Bell didn't call you on his phone. He used Luigi's (another PETCO regular) phone to call Ismael's phone. PETCO teamwork at it's best. That's cool that Heath has his number inside the hat. It's sad that he's our 8th inning set up guy and he's second on the team with 6 wins. Uggh. Well, once again, it was very cool seeing you. Another double digit snagging day and I was there. I got to see number 400 too. It's so cool to be a witness to Zack history. Ha ha. Looking forward to the Dodger Stadium entries.
time to update the commemoratives picture on the website! thats amazing
I just got back from Shea Stadium…so I'm now three games behind again. I'm planning to keep cranking out one blog entry per day, so keep checking back, and hopefully I'll catch up soon. I'm about to add the cap and ball to my web site. I would've done it earlier, but I ran out of time and had to leave for Shea. I'll answer comments later…
The last two nights at Turner Field have been brutal in my quest for a Nationals commemorative. Thursday, I snagged two from the Nats, both training. I can live with that, but I literally saw a ton of commemoratives on the field and the close calls in the stands. The strange part is that about 30 minutes after the stadium opened, this guy in left stumbled on THREE easter eggs, ALL commemorative.
Friday, I bought a cheap Nationals cap, but it didn't pay off. I stood along the line, but every player ignored me. Snagged one along the line, but it was a training, so I gave it to a kid in hopes the Nats players would still give me a shot at another.
Good news is I now have a 5 game streak of 2 or more balls. I really need to come up with a cup or glove trick in the offseason, since I mainly go for BP home runs nowadays. Anyone have an instruction sheet?
I got 2 nationals commemoratives from the phillies last night.
So don't give up hope if you cant get one from the nats cause when i was looking through the balls in the phillies bucket at their dugout, about 90% were nats commemoratives. And the other 10% were shea commemoratives lol
Aaron — Congrats on your new record! That's awesome.
Zack — I don't know what to say. You're incredible. How the hell do you do it?
Anyway, I'll be in Baltimore on Tuesday and Saturday, and YS on the 16th. I won't be at Shea on Tuesday (obviously).
Nice job,
What was your favorite game you have ever been to?
Meik, tell the Phillies to save them for September 16-17 lol. New strategy for me tonight, though I didn't want to have to compete on a Saturday. Say a little snagging prayer for me!
That has to be one of the best ways, if not THE best way, I've ever gotten a ball. I've gotten Heath's autograph once.
I didn't count it. As someone else pointed out in another comment, it was a just a replacement ball in the photo I took. The 12th ball was the REAL ball that I gave away.
That might be pushing it, but if you see Heath, at least tell him that "Zack from New York" says hi.
Nah, I'm not counting the mascot since I'm not counting that ball.
Yeah, it's the right size. It's one of those caps that's a bit stretchy, so that obviously helps.
Re: the nerf ball…check out my response above to "AC."
Sorry I didn't get to answer you in time. I heard there was no BP, and that would've been my guess.
Ahh. When you see Luigi again, tell him I say "hey" and "thanks" and that I'm sorry I didn't get to catch up with him while I was there.
I don't even know how to make a cup trick. Maybe someone else on here can help you out.
Are you going to be in the bleachers on the 16th?
Wow…I have no idea. There've been some great ones over the years. I don't think I can narrow it down to just one, but this game is definitely among the top five.
Where would you suggest standing to catch a ball during batting practice at a Padres game. I believe you favored left filed. We're going to San Diego in June and we kinda got hooked on getting a ball from every stadium we visit. Our record on snagging balls is so so, yours is amazing and very impressive. Thank you..

How to Assemble Pinwheel Cookies
Watch and learn our techniques on how to assemble pinwheel cookies for Thanksgiving or Christmas in this video from EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY magazine. From our collection of Step by Step and Holiday cooking videos.
Hi, I'm Tracey Seaman, the Test Kitchen Director of Every Day with Rachael Ray Magazine. Today, I'm gonna show you how to make pinwheel cookies because they can be a little tricky. I'm gonna use our recipe for black and tan pinwheels. I'm gonna start by scattering some chopped cocktail peanuts on a pre-cut sheet of parchment paper. This parchment is really great because you don't have to tangle with the box. I have two sheets because I'm gonna roll two different colors of dough. First, I'm gonna open up the chocolate dough and it's rolled into-- it's formed into a nice square. Put this right down on the peanuts and I'm gonna roll this out with my rolling pin. I don't need any flour because the dough has plenty of butter in it and also peanut butter. I'm gonna tap on it a little. I'm gonna roll this out to a 5-by-11 rectangle. It's important to take your time when rolling because the dough cracks easily because it's so rich with butter and peanut butter. I keep rotating a little bit, each time I feel like I have pressed my luck. Check with the ruler to see. So I'm gonna use a bench scraper to try to level off the dough, 'cause I have-- it's too-- now it's too hard. So I'm gonna hold the dough with my thumb on the opposite side that I'm pushing gently with the bench scraper, and this is gonna create a nice even edge. So we have 6-by-11. So all I have to do now is just even off these long sides and we should be good to go. Now I have the other sheet of parchment underneath to roll peanut butter dough. Okay, it's 11-by-5. Now, let's roll out the peanut butter dough. Now, what I did was made peanut butter dough, divided it in half, and added chocolate to half of the dough. You don't have to make two separate doughs, which is really fantastic about this recipe. Okay. So this is when we want to be a little bit smaller than the chocolate dough, 'cause this is gonna go on top. Again, you could see all the butter and peanut butter which means, you don't have to eat the whole batch of cookies yourself, you have to share them. Measure this. Right, this is a little bit wide, so I think I should even this out. Now this dough sticks to the parchment better because I don't have the nuts underneath like I did with the chocolate dough. Just wanna tap the short ends in a little to even them off. Just wanna make sure that it's thinner than the other dough which it is, and you can tell by looking side-by-side that it is thinner. This is about four and a half inches but I think it's gonna be okay. Then for the tricky part, take the chocolate dough in front of you. And I'm gonna fold the edge of the parchment paper under and bring the peanut butter dough right up to the edge of the chocolate dough. Then I'm gonna lift it and just flip it right on top. And then peel the parchment paper away. Now that we just have to turn the doughs around 'cause we wanna fold this chocolate edge on top of the peanut butter dough, so we have a nice swirl in the center of the cylinder. I'm gonna lift up with my hands and while I'm pulling out with my fingers, I'm pushing the dough down on top of itself with my thumbs. Then you just keep moving down the parchment and rolling the dough over itself. Then the last bit, I'm gonna take and roll this way. Now, even if your dough cracks which this is doing, you can press it together and on the ends too, to make a cohesive cylinder. I'm gonna take the dough and roll it up, smooth it out, so it's nice and round, if you don't wanna have a bit flat on one end. Then put this on a baking sheet, this is case is a deli roll pan 'cause I don't need a full size sheet. And then we're gonna put this in the freezer for 30 minutes and then it'll be ready to cut and bake. The black and tan cylinder has chilled in the freezer for 30 minutes, so I'm ready to cut the cookies. Put them on the baking sheet. I'm gonna use my bench scrapper and cut cookies that are about a third of an inch thick. I'm gonna just trim the end right here 'cause I don't need that. You could also use a knife but bench scrapper works great. After I cut a bunch, I'm gonna transfer them to the baking sheet with my offset spatula. Generally speaking, I put cookies 2-inches apart on a baking sheet. Now, you can see that the dough is pretty soft, but we're gonna adjust the shape. So, don't worry if your cookies are a little bit flat. So, you could see the dough is really forgiving because you can just reshape it as you need to. Okay, these look great. Now, ready to go into the oven. So, nice batch of black and tan pinwheels. Thanks for watching.

Dordt College News
Dordt student Kristina Heflin received American Degree at National FFA Convention
November 12, 2012
Dordt College sophomore Kristina Heflin earned the FFA's (Future Farmers of America) American Degree at the 85th annual National FFA Convention, which took place October 24 to 27 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The American Degree is the highest honor granted to a member, requiring at least six years of dedication, volunteering, and projects. Fewer than one percent of FFA's half a million members earn this award.
Heflin, an animal science major and the president of the Saddle Club at Dordt, began working toward the American Degree during her freshman year of high school in her hometown of Yuba City, California.
"One of the best things about it is the feeling of accomplishment," said Heflin. "I spent my weekends horse judging and my summers showing my animals; it was a year-round thing. This is kind of honoring all that I've done for the past six years."
Heflin's experiences with the FFA have focused on working with horses, as well as purchasing, raising, and showing her animals.
Mike Schouten, who manages the Agriculture Stewardship Center at Dordt, has seen Heflin hard at work. "She's a young Christian lady with a passion for agriculture," said Schouten. "The American Degree looks good on a résumé and is a sign that Kristina is a hard worker who is willing to put in the time for this award. It means she's one of the best, the cream of the crop."
Dordt College is one of only a handful of Christian colleges in North America to offer an accredited four-year agriculture program, with several emphases, including animal science, agri-business, ag missions, and biotechnology.

It was with great interest that I read the article of a few weeks ago from the Bee-Pic sports writer, in which he stated that he took up bowling when he got too old to play ball.
I have another suggestion for him. When the bowling ball gets too heavy, I suggest that he take up the sport of pigeon racing. This way he can sit under the shade tree and let his feathered warriors do the competing for him.
Pigeon racing has been going on for hundreds of years, dating back to the first Olympics when pigeons brought the results back to Rome. They were used by Reuters to get the scoop on the news of Europe before the other papers.
In more recent times, the sport has developed two national organizations – those being the American Racing Pigeon Union (ARPU) and the International Federation of Pigeon Racing. Each group then has sub groups called clubs. Locally, we are members of the Beeville Racing Pigeon club affiliated with the ARPU. Our membership stretches from Normanna to Corpus Christi.
Pigeon racing is a well-regulated sport, and there are two seasons. In the spring, we race the birds that are called old birds. These birds have a season of flying under their belt and are able to race in distances up to 600 miles and beyond. A bird can fly about 40 mph and is capable of staying in the air and on the wing for many, many hours; it is not unusual for a pigeon to fly the 500 miles in a day.
Prior to a race, the club members meet and register their birds that are going to race. The birds are then loaded into a specially-built trailer and hauled by a driver to the designated release point. At a pre-arranged time the driver releases the birds. When they arrive at their home, they cross an antenna, and the chip rings; we record the time of arrival and log it into a clock unique to pigeon racing. Using GPS, we can determine the exact distance the release point is from every man's loft. With this information, combined with a reading of the length of time it took the bird to cover the distance, the speed at which the birds flew can be calculated. He who flies fastest wins.
This same system is used in the fall month when we race birds that are born in the current year and referred to as young birds. The distance we race these birds in reduced to 300 miles because of their youth and inexperience. So you can see this is a year-long sport.
I hope this letter gives some insight into our sport. For additional information, contact the ARPU at 1-405-848-5801.
Thank you,
R.H. "Dick" Segelken

Freedom Newspapers
As eastern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle reflect this Memorial Day upon the sacrifice made by those who died in the nation's armed forces, finding a place in memory for the prisoners of war and those missing in action is in order.
Just 10 days ago, the U.S. Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office announced that the remains of an Air Force pilot shot down during the Vietnam War have been identified.
Maj. Robert Harry Schuler Jr., of Wellsburg, N.Y., was lost in action Oct. 15, 1965, on a mission north of Hanoi, according to a press release from the Department of Defense. Investigators from the United States and Vietnam conducted seven inquiries into Maj. Schuler's disappearance between 1993 and 1998. The search led them to a Vietnamese army officer who remembered his unit shooting down an F-105 Thunderchief. Excavation of the crash site revealed pieces of the F-105 and human remains that DNA analysis showed to be Maj. Schuler's.
This kind of work goes on four times a year in Vietnam. Of the 1,921 people originally listed missing in action, the remains of 518 have been identified and returned to the United States.
Investigators have determined the fate of 162 of the 196 people listed as "last known alive," servicemen and women who may have survived the encounter that took them out of action but who did not return to their units. The remains of 48 of them have been identified.
Operations are also being undertaken to learn the fate of 377 Americans missing in action in Laos and 55 in Cambodia.
The families of the men and women who disappeared in Southeast Asia must take some solace that their loved ones are not forgotten and hope remains that they may have the small comfort of preparing a grave for them close to the places where they grew up.
Memorial Day has lost much of its import in the decades since the Vietnam War. Memorial Day parades were important community events throughout the Southwest in the 1950s and 1960s. No more.
To help rekindle the Memorial Day spirit in the minds of Americans, the National Moment of Remembrance resolution was passed by Congress in December 2000. Americans are asked to pause at 3 p.m. today "To voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence or listening to 'Taps.'"
That is a fitting observance, particularly with the nation at war in Iraq and our community so personally touched through the daily sacrifices made by our neighbors at Cannon Air Force Base.
While it is nice to see family and friends gather for cookouts and fellowship at Ned Houk Park or Greene Acres or in back yards throughout Clovis and the region this holiday, we hope Americans everywhere will take a moment to remember that our soldiers continue dying just about every day in the service of their country.
Memorial Day is our chance to honor our country's courageous military personnel, in our thoughts and with our actions.

In The Zone2 of 15
Vanessa Bryant, who wed Kobe Bryant in 2001, often accompanies her famous husband to red carpet events. The former dancer's short hemlines often steal the spotlight from her hubby. And now there's word that she may follow in the footsteps of fellow Lakers wife Khloe Kardashian with her own reality show. Stay tuned!
Nice Assist3 of 15
Cute couple alert! Former "Idol" star Jordin Sparks has a new boyfriend, Minnesota Timberwolves top draft pick Wesley Johnson. (The two are already color coordinated!) In addition to her new arm candy, the pop princess looks and sounds better than ever—and has a new single called "I Am Woman" to prove it.
Time Out4 of 15
Former MTV VJ La La Vazquez wed Carmelo Anthony last year when he was still part of the Denver Nuggets. Since Anthony's trade to the Knicks, the two have settled in New York, giving them ample opportunity to attend fashionable events, such as this year's Met Costume Institute Gala.
Nothing But Net5 of 15
Not only are the actress and former Lakers player Rick Fox still happily together, but Fox admits to having had the "marriage talk" after seeing Eliza Dushku bond with his kids. The actress, who is known for her darker roles, looks modern and edgy alongside her classically handsome beau.
All Stars6 of 15
Happier than ever, NBA hoopster Grant Hill and his gorgeous wife, R&B singer Tamia Hill, were spotted smooching at the opening of his new documentary, Starting at the Finish Line: The Coach Buehler Story. Both sporting blazers, this low-pro couple proves they're on the same team.
Tall Order7 of 15
Statuesque tennis star Maria Sharapova is a perfect match for her fiance, New Jersey Nets' Sasha Vujacic. With two all-star athletes, we can only imagine the friendly competition in that household. Seen here at a wedding in Italy, Sharapova shows she's not afraid to wear the pants.
State of The Union8 of 15
In towering stilettos, actress Gabrielle Union stands tall next to boyfriend Dwayne Wade, Miami Heat's shooting guard. The Neutrogena Brand Ambassador is all smiles despite Wade's messy, ongoing divorce.
Fast Break9 of 15
Although Eva Longoria and her San Antonio Spurs beau, Tony Parker, are now divorced, we'll always remember her fabulous courtside looks. Now involved with Eduardo Cruz (yes, Penelope's baby bro!), the "Housewife" appears to have moved on in style.
Power Forward10 of 15
First she took Miami, and then Khloe Kardashian took Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom as her lawfully wedded husband in September of 2009. The couple recently launched a unisex fragrance called Unbreakable, which seems to be the nature of their relationship so far. Perhaps Kardashian's plunging necklines help keep the romance alive.
LEARN MORE: See Khloe and Lamar's Unbreakable Ad on Wonderwall
Aim High11 of 15
After months of speculation, Ciara confirmed that she and New York Knicks player Amare Stoudemire are an item. The 5'9" singer, who has said that her height intimidates men, can now luckily wear her platform heels without an ounce of worry.
Nice Moves12 of 15
Rumors flew that the Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs due to drama behind the scenes. The alleged culprit? Pau Gasol's girlfriend, Silvia Lopez Castro, who had supposedly broken up with him. But the relationship is back on, so we can expect to see more of the petite pro dancer from Spain, who looks as long and lean as possible (next to the 7 foot Gasol) in a black column dress.
Game Changer13 of 15
Singer Brandy Norwood and Kobe Bryant may not have actually dated, but they go way back: Kobe took Brandy to his high school prom in 1996. Now with a new album, she is on top of her game and turning heads with her new sexy but sophisticated style.
Perfect Shot14 of 15
Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Marko Jaric wed supermodel Adriana Lima on Valentine's Day in 2009. The Victoria's Secret Angel and mom to daughter Valentina (with Jaric) isn't shy about showing off her post-baby body.
One On One15 of 15
The newest recruit to the basketball wives' camp, Kim Kardashian made headlines with her engagement to Nets forward Kris Humphries. Good thing Kardashian has the style and personality to carry off her 20.5-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Haha it would be funny that when the Juubi revives, Obito says "Holy shit, i can't control him", and instead of controlling him, Madara and Obito would run for their life. :rofl: What do you think?
I think u r a joke
Haha I doubt that would happen, though that would be so troll
If Obito could not control him, I imagine Madara stepping in and trying to control him OR both working together
obito is already controlling him/she/it.
Of course they can. Why would they even summon or revive something that they cannot control?
That is not possible according to their characters
This sounds like a familiar plot from a book. The antagonist revives something he thinks he can control because he feels he has the power and knowledge necessary. Yet he ignores the fact that the entity he is reviving also has a mind and will of its own. And because of that he is forced to work with the protagonist to try and rid the world of the new threat.
I DO want Madara's ego to suffer, and that someone wipes that grin off his face. Isn't it a little...I don't know...bulls*tty that they think they can control the most powerful being ever to exist?
Okay, I'll be honest, I just want Madara to die...he's so horribly uninteresting.
as i remeber even the sage with rinnegan,couldn't control 10 tails,he had to fight it then seal it inside him,i think the same applies for everyone else
Last edited by htmwall; 11-14-2012 at 10:56 AM.
maybe minato will come and save them.i'm sure u wud agree.
It probably will madara seems to have everything under control
and seems very confident so juubi will most likely fall victim to the sharigan.
Would not be funny and not going to happen, sorry.

Are you still on that diet you started at New Year's? Don't try so hard. It might make you more successful in the long run.
We're not saying it should be all cookies, all the time. But if you're like most people, you'll need occasional rewards for your healthy behavior. The worst kind of dieting is the sort that makes you miserable, and encourages backsliding when all the hard work is done.

Lake Huntington News
December 14, 2012 —
I write this column with such a heavy heart: my friend Frances was buried last Thursday.
Then, when I came home from Queens, Tommy told me to sit down, he had to tell me something. "Pete passed," he said.
So many things ran through my head. First one was, he did not suffer long; then, how are his kids doing?
There are a lot of very sad people in Sullivan County with Pete's passing. I was listening to everything people were saying—what a great person he was, a real friend, a fabulous father, a true Marine, a member of the Knights of Columbus for over 37 years.
What I liked the best was, "When you met Pete, you knew you had a friend for life." Like everyone else, I met Pete in Pete's Pub. He and Anita welcomed you as if they had known you forever. You became one of the family. There was nothing they would not do for you.
I had the honor to work for Pete and Anita for three years; you could not meet harder working, more loving people. Pete was an amazing man; he always asked you, "Do you need anything?" "Can I help you?" "Do you need bread?"
Pete was known as the bread man. Whenever you would run into him, he would have a trunk full of breads and cakes. Pete went out of his way to drop off breads to the food pantry. He was such a kind-hearted man. Pete was not a tall man, but he was a big, generous man. I loved his hugs. He would grab me and lay his head on my chest and squeeze. Pete always had a joke. (He loved to laugh as he was telling them.) It's the little things like the hug and the laugh I am going to miss the most.
The last time I saw Pete was in church. As he was coming back from Communion, I leaned out into the aisle and gave him a hug. The "King of Lake Huntington" may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.
Pete, I love you. Say "hi" to Anita for all of us.
Till we meet again.
Have a great week and email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 845/252-3568 if you have news.

Nothing in the game for 70 minutes,then we have fallen apart in the last 10,only for Tom Lineham to get us a bonus point,which seemed to have eluded us.Thought we were going to do it when we went 12-8 up with a few half chances that followed.Sounded like we rushed a few plays instead of playing the sets out.Kicking from hand sounded a bit hit and miss.Defence sounded a bit frail in the last 10 mins aswell.Hope thats not a fitness thing.The penalties conceded at times were ridiculous.Seriously need to cut those out.
Still we are only one game in.Next week is a game we can win if we get our act together.Good news about Kingy it would appear.Great to see Sully back from injury aswell.
