Marlon Sanders Design Dashboard Just Arrived!
You Want A Professional Looking, E-commerce Ready Website That Stands Out Of The Crowd & Won't Cost You More Than A Few Dollars.
Now It's Easy As 1-2-3!
I got Marlons Design Dashboard just a few days ago and I have to say it's really amazing. I bought the product, because my graphical design skills are really, really bad and I don't want to pay $100 each time I need a website header or a book cover.
The Design Dashboard shows you step by step, how to create a professional looking site with sharp graphics, styles, effects and everything else you need to stand out from the crowd.
But it's not only about graphical design…
Actually, the Design Dashboard covers every single aspect on how to build a successful website:
- Setting up your shopping cart
- Registering a domain name
- Choosing the best hosting service
- Building your site using a free editor
- Where to get the best stock photos for $1 or less
- Tips on writing your sales letter
- How to design stunning e-book covers in 20 minutes… and much more.
In other words, the Design Dashboard is a complete step-by-step system showing you how to create a fully blown e-commerce enabled site with all bells and whistles.
The image above shows you what the Design Dashboard looks like and it gives you a good overview of all the topics covered. Click here to see a bigger version of the image.
Again, the Design Dashboard is ideal (well, it's actually the best on the market) for all those who have no- or only basic skills when it comes to building business ready websites. Even if you are already an experienced Internet marketer, I'm sure you will still learn one or the other interesting thing – like the graphical design skills I mentioned above.
Something else, there are 2 product versions: A basic version for $59 and another one for $79 that comes with a package of 26 additional web graphics. I got the second version, but honestly, I expected a bit more from the add-on graphics and I think, they are probably not worth paying an extra $20.
But the Design Dashboard itself is absolutely stunning – I'd say it's one of the top 3 Internet marketing products available right now and definitely the best product for Newbies.

How To Get Top Rankings In Yahoo And Bing
Come on, is there really an easy way to get thousands of free website visitors? Everyone is complaining how difficult it has become to rank even low-medium competition keywords in the top 5 on Google.
And yes, I agree – it's definitely not an easy task to get tons of free traffic from Google… But, what about Yahoo & Bing?
You say, you don't care about the 'little ones"? – You better should!
As of March 2013 Bing and Yahoo's search market share is a bit over 30%. 30% of billions of searchers is quite a substantial amount of traffic. But, what's most interesting: It is still relatively easy to rank in Bing & Yahoo – even for highly competitive keywords.
You can take keywords like: auto insurance quotes, credit debt consolidation, fast payday loans and get them ranked in Bing and Yahoo within 2 months with maybe 20-30 hours of work or less than 5 hours of work if you outsource your backlink generation.
Top 10 Blogging Tips For Your SiteBlogging for your site will help your business to beat the competition. This is the best way to bring customers to your site. Blogs need original and fresh content to rank highly on the search engines. If you have enough time and good writing skills then you can write your business blog on your own. If you have no time then it is better to hire a marketing agency which offers good blogging services. Below are top ten tips which assist you in blogging for your website:
The Most Powerful Way To Find Ideal Guest Blogging OpportunitiesBacklinks from guest blogging are definitely one of the most powerful Backlinks you can get nowadays (especially after all those Panda & Penguin updates). But also, it's not only about building Backlinks, it's also about connecting with people, gaining trust, getting additional traffic and turning this traffic into sales.
Sure, you need to come up with excellent posts if you want to get published on a high quality authority blog, but the return on your (time) investment is usually much higher than building tons of low quality Backlinks…
A Simple SEO Cheat Sheet For Getting Tons Of Google Page 1 Rankings – The Quick And Easy WayMost Internet marketers think that SEO is extremely complicated. The truth however is that it isn't that complicated at all; actually it is relatively simple, but it takes some patience and persistence to get a top ranking on Google – especially if you want to rank a competitive keyword.
Here are some hot ranking tips. Follow the guidelines below and I promise your sites and pages will do great on Google and on all other search engines.
As you probably already know, you need to get your on-page factors right and you need to take care of various off-page factors.
A Quick & Easy 5 Minute On-Page SEO ChecklistOn-page SEO is really simple and shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes.
The reason why I decided to put together this short on-page SEO checklist was because I recently bought an SEO guide that was announced to be 100% Panda and Penguin safe and to be one of the best SEO courses on the market…
Unfortunately, I was hugely disappointed when I started reading the guide: There were about 30 pages of on-page SEO tips and tricks – many of them completely useless and even dangerous.
Guest Blogging Tips For More Traffic & Top RankingsToday I have some great guest blogging tips for you that will show how to significantly increase your traffic from guest blogging posts, how to get those posts done really quickly… and more.
Guest Blogging – The Easiest Way To Get Top RankingsI get lots of emails from people telling me that SEO simply doesn't work anymore… Well, I agree that the old-fashioned way of doing SEO doesn't work any longer – you know, building tons of cheap backlinks from mass article submission, social bookmarking, forum profile links…
How To Get Tons Of Edu Backlinks Really FastWe all know, quality backlinks are still hugely important to get top rankings in Google – unfortunately it is either very time consuming or expensive to get those high-value backlinks…
…Unless you have the right strategy! Here is a great tip that will allow you to find a large number of .edu and .gov backlink opportunities for any niche and within seconds.

Cry Me a River, Kanye!
Hip-hop started in the streets of New York City in the 1970s. It was originally seen as something only popular in the black communities of America. The musical genre grew and expanded. Hip-Hop has became a global business, and images of young African-American men in trademark baggy pants and with bad attitudes spread like a cancer. So did their poison prose.
As retailers put warning labels on hip-hop CDs, TV stations and radio shows bleeped out the most offensive words, if they aired the music at all. Yet the movement built steam.
"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public."
H. L. Mencken
Hip-hop long ago burst out from the seams of the African-American audience. In 2000, figures from the hip-hop magazine The Source suggested that more than 70% of rap music buyers are White. Hip-Hop music sells in Europe, Australia and South America.
As many reaped the riches that come with international audiences, they failed to calculate the effect their art form would have on fans who had few real-life references to the black experience and descendants of African slaves. Racially-charged lyrics and symbols have a different connotation depending on who is using them. That nuance has been sorely neglected.
Adding fuel to the fire, socially unconscious hip-hop jackasses have bent over backwards to push the N-word to the mainstream. In 2010, Jay-Z and Kanye West played "N*ggas in Paris" ad nauseum in Europe. Recently, Kanye West used the U.S. Confederate flag to promote his Yeezus album.
The "Southern Cross" was adopted by the slave-owning Southern states as their symbol during the U.S. Civil War and has been used as an emblem by white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan.
Civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton said "The Confederate flag symbolizes dehumanization, injustice and pain. It is a stark reminder of an era in our history that was defined by the abhorrent practice of slavery. And it is representative of a mentality that looked upon blacks as inferiors who needed to remain in the shackles of subservience."
As Kanye, Jay-Z , L.L. Cool J. and other hip-hop stars have succumbed to historical amnesia and outlandish ignorance, the repercussions of their N-word normalization are emerging.
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow tweeted the N-word in 2012. To defend herself, she noted "It's the title of the song!" She's right. That hateful word was practically put in her mouth.
Madonna, who adopted two Black children, posted a photo online with an N-word hashtag. In a familiar script, the Material Girl refuted the protests. "I am not a racist," Madonna's apology statement reads. The word "was used as a term of endearment."
In what alternate universe does a 55-year-old white American believe the N-word to be a "term of endearment"? Would it be acceptable for a Chinese-baby adoptive parent to use chink as a loving nickname? How about "tar baby"?
Last week, a young man yelled a racist slur at Kanye West's wife, calling her a "n*gger lover." Yeezus did not turn the other cheek. As racist and disrespectful as this incident was, it serves as a reality check for Kanye and his ilk.
The chickens have come home to roost.
The man who made the N-word rhyme with "Gold Digger" for a hit song now laments having to "raise my daughter around ignorance and flat-out blatant racism."
Cry me a river, Kanye!
It is high time hip-hop honchos had their consciousness awakened. Jay-Z, Yeezy and many more have propagated this mess. The bitch they rap about -- her name is Karma.
They must stop trivializing the N-word. Stop making light of the Confederate flag. Show some respect for those who fought and died for the civil rights they take for granted, for the gender equality they expect for their daughters, and for racial justice still elusive for some fans.
Hip-hop should stop fueling the flames of racial hate.

WESTLAKE VILLAGE - The performance bordered on spectacular.
The shots were stellar. The ball control was solid. The defense was on its game. It was one of the more complete performances of the season for the Mira Costa girls soccer team.
The only thing lacking was a finishing touch.
Mira Costa turned in a strong performance, but dropped a 1-0 decision at fourth-seeded Westlake in Thursday night's CIF Southern Section Division II quarterfinal.
"We had it," Mustangs forward Kimby Keever said. "We just didn't finish."
It was Mira Costa's deepest postseason run in seven seasons.
The Mustangs (19-4-3) controlled the first half, coming up with several quality looks. Keever nearly converted a header and had a breakaway in the first half. Mandy McKeegan hit the crossbar. Savannah Sartini delivered a beautiful strike that just missed.
"It was a great effort," Mira Costa coach Patty Perkinson said. "Obviously I'm disappointed, but I'm proud of the girls. I felt we dominated."
But Westlake (18-2-1) broke through in the 44th minute when Nicole Molen headed in a corner kick from Sarah Ishikawa.
"Sarah and I work on that all the time," said Molen, a junior. "I knew it was coming to me, so I just went for it.
"I think we struggled in the first half with their pace. We have not played a team that was as tough as they were."
Westlake did not get many quality opportunities, but it cashed in the one that mattered and stopped Mira Costa's strong postseason push.
"It's upsetting, but we gave 110 percent," Mira Costa senior midfielder Melina Cohen said. "We gave it everything we had. We were just a little unlucky and did not finish."
Keever provided a spark in just her third match of the season following a lateral collateral ligament injury. Keever played a half game in the playoff opener against Dos Pueblos, then played the entire second-round match against Temecula Valley.
Keever said she felt about 80-90 percent and appeared to not have any hesitation about her injury.
"I'm just out of shape," Keever said. "It felt good to play. The loss sucks, especially because we had it the whole game. It was just one minor lapse."
Cohen said she was "stoked" that Keever was able to return to Mira Costa to help make a postseason push.
Perkinson said Keever almost looked like the "normal Kimby."
"She was injured all year and was a little out of shape because she couldn't even ride a bike, but she was hungry," Perkinson said. "She created some chances and helped us dominate."
Westlake (18-2-1) advances to Tuesday's semifinals to face top-seeded Sunny Hills.
"We really want to go all the way this year," Molen said. "It's crazy. We're so close right now."
And Mira Costa was oh-so-close.

Gunman on Santa Fe College Campus
Santa Fe College student, Victoria Venitez usually walks by the spot an armed man was spotted at on campus this afternoon.
She wasn't aware of the incident and didn't get campus-wide warnings because she wasn't signed up for Santa Fe's Emergency Notification System.
In shock, Venitez had this to say, "I always frequent 'S' building. I was walking probably right by this armed person and didn't even notice."
Police sent out text messages and phone calls to students and staff using the alert system.
Santa Fe College Police Chief, Ed Book says, "What we ask people to do in our initial notifications are things like what we call, 'Shelter in Place,' which tells people if they're in a classroom or building to stay there. That offers their best, safest option."
An option and not an order for many students Santa Fe College campus who went about their business as usual.
It started with a tip in the early afternoon from a student to the police and was followed by a search of the Northwest Santa Fe campus that lasted more than an hour.
Alachua County Sheriff's Deputies and Campus police combed the area looking for what they describe as a "black male."
Those who did sign up for the system eventually received an all clear message when police determined the gunman was gone.
Santa Fe College Police have confirmed that the subject was involved in an argument with a victim and that the two know each other. Chris Gilmore TV20 News.

View PubMed articles
Throughout the years, the main emphasis of the research in our laboratory (Dr. Byers and I work together) has been directed toward the elucidation of the mechanisms of iron acquisition in bacteria. Almost all microbes need iron to grow and survive, and most pathogenic microorganisms have several ways to obtain iron to meet this need. Among the iron acquisition systems described in microorganisms are those that involve secretion of and uptake from specific iron chelating molecules called siderophores, reductive mechanisms for uptake of ferrous iron, and systems for utilization of host iron molecules such as heme proteins, lactoferrin and transferrin. With contributions from many talented students, we have characterized iron acquisition systems in Bacillus megaterium, Streptococcus mutans, Aeromonas hydrophila and Mycobacterium smegmatis. Our current efforts are centered on the iron utilization systems of Bacillus anthracis. This microorganism possesses a number of mechanisms to acquire iron, and we have identified a 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate-based catecholate siderophore that is produced when the organism is grown in iron restrictive conditions. While the role of siderophores in microbial virulence continues to be a focus of interest, we are also investigating other routes of iron acquisition by B. anthracis that may play a role in its survival in a mammalian host.

Smokeshow Fakes Her Own Mugging To Win Back Her Ex
Alabama.com – A would-be contestant on America's Next Top Model has admitted to authorities in Alabama that she faked her own abduction in a poorly conceived effort to win back the affection of her estranged boyfriend. Kayla B. Earl of Hueytown was found by a Jefferson County sheriff's deputy lying in the dirt by the side of the road near a Pleasant Grove cemetery this past Tuesday. Earl, who had a Walmart bag over her head and appeared unconscious, was taken by emergency workers to be examined at a nearby hospital.After being released she told detectives that a man had approached her from behind while she was visiting the gravesite of a friend, and placed a bag over her head. He then grabbed her and a struggle ensued. Earl was able to break loose, and fled to the roadway where she was discovered, ostensibly passed out. Earl reportedly admitted she was "trying to lure back her estranged boyfriend with sympathy." "She even said she put the bag on her head to make it look like someone tried to suffocate her," Pleasant Grove Detective Jason Davis told AL.com. "She is going through some personal problems. Between that and wanting attention, it turns out none of this happened."
Chicks are so stupid. Honey you're an attractive enough girl. Why are you fake assaulting yourself? Everybody knows that you don't win your ex back by getting mugged. Maybe that gets you a phone call to make sure you're okay and that's it. If you really want to get him back you put on your hottest outfit and go find a new piece of dick and just grind that ass all over him at the local bar. That's how you win back your ex. Jealousy is the key to victory. Not sympathy. Moron city.

I had a free ride basically until I was 54 and then all hell broke loose. I didn't know what to do because I had these habits of eating a huge amount garcinia cambogia 70% of food. I wasn't particularly cautious of what I was eating." I encourage you to engage in your progress with the measure. Using this is a well trodden scheme to achieve pure garcinia cambogia. This is actually a paint-by-numbers formula.
To lose weight it is imperative to do so not just by doing diets or exercise programs which are too tedious which may yield results but which do not keep you that way. Sometimes after sudden loss of weight the skin sags making one feel garcinia cambogia purchase worse. In the area of AIDS research a growing number of studies show that malnourished HIV-infected patients may develop the disease more quickly primarily because of muscle-wasting cachexia. To help prevent this some researchers are experimenting with HMB combined
with other amino acids. Their goal: to see whether the mixture will slow down muscle-wasting. The mixture is believed to supply immune cells with the amino acids they need so that muscle stores won't be depleted and to retard muscle
breakdown with HMB supplementation.

New Amsterdam in Talks for Its First European CLO Fund Since '08
New Amsterdam Capital Management LLP, a London-based money manager founded in 2002, is seeking to raise its first European collateralized loan obligation since 2008.
The firm is in talks with banks to raise a 300 million-euro ($391 million) CLO by the end of this year, John Seal, a London- based founding partner of New Amsterdam, said in a telephone interview.
New Amsterdam is among money managers seeking to revive CLO issuance in Europe as the average spread on top-rated portions of the funds tightened to 150 basis points on Feb. 22 from 300 basis points a year ago, according to Wells Fargo & Co. Last month Cairn Capital Ltd. priced a 300.5 million-euro CLO, the first deal in Europe since 2011, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Pramerica Investment Management Ltd. hired Barclays Plc to raise a 300 million-euro fund.
"We have investors interested in the equity piece of a new CLO and this really only started to happen about four months ago," Seal said. "It's a very encouraging sign. The key to success will be sourcing a sufficient amount of assets in a timely fashion."
The quarterly cash payment to the so-called equity piece, or the riskiest portion, of European CLOs rose to an average of about 3.1 percent last year, the most since 2008, according to Citigroup Inc. CLOs are a type of collateralized debt obligation that pool high-yield, high-risk loans and slice them into securities of varying risk and return. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.
New Amsterdam raised 825 million euros in 2006 for its Mercator I and Mercator II CLOs and 300 million euros for Mercator III in 2007, Bloomberg data show. It sold about 640 million euros of bonds for NAC EuroLoan CLO in 2008.

Date of Stay: July, 2016
My wife and I stayed at Creekwood Farm for 5 days over the July 4 weekend. This is not a bad campground. My wife and I much prefer national parks and state run campgrounds because they typically have more room. But we don't mind staying occasionally at private campgrounds. Creekwood is a very prime example of why we have problems with private campgrounds. If we had been given the option to not be in the middle of the party all day on Saturday and also have to not have traffic through our campsite the entire weekend it might have been more pleasant. When I called and made the appointment I asked for a creek side site. The lady said they had one creek side site left and I reserved it. Nothing but a blatant lie. The site they gave us was site number 75. It IS NOT on the creek even though their VERY misleading site map shows it on the creek. Not only that, #75 is not a premium site. It is smaller and the utilities are misplaced toward the front so I couldn't back the motor home into the site so I had room for the toad. So this "premium" side it nestled in between the last REAL premium site and one of their permanent cabins. Right behind side 75 and the cabin is their recreation area. They had a big cookout on Saturday. That was cool, but when I arrived I found a hose hooked up to our water spigot. It ran out the end of the site. I figured they were using it to water the grass so I unhooked it and did my hookups. The next morning someone had installed a "Y" and hooked that hose back up. We had to compete with their party for water pressure. And guess where everyone in the campground walked, or drove their golf carts, through to get to the picnic? Yes, site #75. And not a word about any of this when I made reservations. We were totally misled. And they didn't mention that you had to rent a fire pit if you wanted a campfire. How ridiculous!!! We won't be back.
Date of Stay: February, 2010
We almost did not stop here because of the previous review. In thinking about it I can't quite figure out why the reviewer had concerns about who was in what site and how often they moved. It makes me want to review the review more than the campground. That reviewer obviously had issues with something more than what they are saying. This campground is a fair, middle of the road campground. It is a bit too expensive for it's condition and amenities, but it you are paying for being on the beach. As with ANY campground on the beach, it will be windy and you will get a layer of salt on everything. The paved sites are pretty close together and long term residents are allowed to put up their own structures which can be an eyesore. We are paying a daily rate so electricity is not a problem. The Wi-Fi is strong and fast. But we are fairly close to the office. The worst thing about our site is that it is next to the main road so we get a lot of road noise both day and night. We would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: October, 2009
One thing we don't particularly is site that are basically on top of each other. The sites in this campground are spacious. But because of how they are positioned you end up being right on top of your neighbor. Lots of folks don't mind this. We do. The biggest problem we had was the total lack of drainage around our site. It rained pretty heavy one night and we had about 2 inches of water on our site. We hadn't set out much so all we had to worry about was a water saturated carpet and entry rug. We used this campground only as a base camp as I was playing in a golf tournament nearby so it was OK. It is also not a bad location when visiting Nashville. We wouldn't stay here for a "camping experience".
Date of Stay: October, 2009
We were the first to review this campground. It has been our favorite campground and the campground still is. However, they keep changing concessionary and the administration keeps changing. They are trying to force everyone to make reservations before coming. However, if the weather turns bad or you have something come up you forfeit the cost of the first night. This causes two problems. First if you can't go you loose $17. Second, if someone shows up that want's to camp that site is reserved and will sit unused. We never know for sure we have time until the last minute. So we just show up and pick an unreserved site and have a nice weekend. We've been doing this for years now. We showed up this Friday evening and were in the process of choosing a site when the camp host drove up and informed us that we could only pay for one night. And that if someone reserved the site on the on-line reservations system we would have to leave. At the time is was cold and raining! The guy was condescending and kept telling me I just didn't understand. Why don't we use the reservation system? You automatically get charged for the first night. It's non-refundable. So if a hurricane hits you are out of luck. If we can't just show up and claim an available site for the weekend we won't bother to go back.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
Stayed here while attending a convention in Savannah. We were pleasantly surprised with this campground. The pull through sites were all quite manageable. Although you really have to be on your toes getting a big rig around the trees. The trees were amazing. Our biggest problem was not the campground's fault. Savannah in July is oppressively hot. The campsites were very spacious and not on top of your neighbors. We would definitely go back. Hopefully during a cooler time of year.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
This is a pretty rough campground. The roads are dirt with some stone and rock mixed in. The whole campground is arranged a bit haphazardly. We had probably the best camp site available. Mostly because it was out of the way at a weird angle. It was large and covered with gravel. We were warned about not leaving food out because of bears. However, one of the neighbors put out corn everyday to attract deer, birds and other animals. I don't know if bear like corn or not but it worried us a bit. Most of the sites are close together and not long enough for a longer 5th wheel and tow vehicle or motor home and toad. There was extra parking available in the campground. WiFi was slow and buggy. We finally just gave up. According to the instructions, online game playing or any sort of streaming was not allowed. I don't know how anyone could stream anything at the speeds we were getting. We did have a nice fire pit and enjoyed sitting out by the fire. Even though it was late July the temp at night was in the high 40s. Perfect for us. And the night sky is amazing!!!
Date of Stay: July, 2008
This is a primitive campground just at the start of the road up to Cinnamon Pass. You are at over 9500 feet at this campground. The only facilities are pit toilets. We stayed here in our motor home and it was a challenge getting it level. But we did with some patience. There were mostly tent and trailers there but a few of the sites can accommodate a big rig. Just make sure your water is topped off and the holding tanks are empty. We enjoyed our stay. It was relatively quiet and the sites were spaced well apart. With surrounding mountains and spectacular views this is a great place to spend a few days. It is still close enough to Lake City to run into town for a meal or to make an ice run. If you love 4-wheeling you'll love this part of Colorado. And this campground provides as much as you can expect in location and relaxation. Don't forget your jeep when you come.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
This campground has a variety of sites. Some are quite large others are very tight. At our site the guy next door had parked his 5th wheel where the slide actually was over our site and then complained when our slide would have been right up next to his. The hostess actually asked me to move over, which meant that we wouldn't be able to park the toad at the site. The Wi-Fi available at the site is a commercial service and isn't very fast. Wi-fi was important to us since we work remotely and needed a day or two of good access. Campfires were not allowed. Overall we managed OK here. We worked one day then went to the Grand Canyon another day and then went our way. We would stay here again but only for one or two nights.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
It really depends on what you are looking for. This is an excellent resort type RV park. They have thought of just about everything. This is as nice of a resort as I have seen. We overnighted here on our way from San Antonio, TX, to the Grand Canyon. We just prefer camping, with trees, space, campfires, dirt, grass and space. You won't get any of that here. You will be able to open your slides and your awning, but you'll still be staying on a gravel and concrete parking lot with small trees and bushes planted in preplanned spots. If this is your thing, then you'll love it. We thought it was great as an overnight stop. Good security, quiet and not very many people there since it was off season. We wouldn't come here to stay any length of time.
Date of Stay: January, 2008
We stopped off here on our way to the Steamboat Springs area. Knowing that there aren't any decent campgrounds near Steamboat (yeah, we know about Steamboat Campground, they were full anyway) we need to stop over for a day or two where we could access the internet and get some work done. In the AAA guide it states they had WiFi so I gave them a call and let them know we needed a good reliable wifi access. They said they did. So we booked a couple of nights. The campground is a gravel lot with some trees and bushes planted in around the sites. The trees aren't big enough to provide any significant shade. The good thing is the drives were so wide it was easy to get in and out of the sites. The sites are wide enough to open slides and awning without worrying about the neighbors. Watch for the dogs running around free. It seems there are some either permanent or seasonal guests who treat the campground as their back yard, dogs and all. The wifi was a big disappointment. It was slow, although not as slow as some we encountered on this trip. The continuous resets were frustrating. Just about every 30 minutes the wifi would go down, reset and come back up. That's ok unless you're in the middle of an online meeting with the boss back at home. Or running a test of the web site your are developing. If you are looking for a nice level site for the night while traveling through this section of Colorado we would recommend this campground. If you need full hookups this will also work just fine. It may also just about be the only full hookup facility in quite a few miles around. If that's the case, it might just work. Just go fishing or hiking or whatever else you come here to do. But don't expect to spend any quality time at the campground. Not much in Kremmling by way of entertainment or restaurants. So you should plan to cook in and get the dish going.
Date of Stay: May, 2006
We've been staying at this campground for 15 years starting with a 2-person tent. We like it because the campground is never that crowded and affords a little privacy. The shower house is generally clean. It's a bit rustic so don't expect ceramic tile and blow dryers. There is a great 8 mile loop for hiking but it is pretty demanding. Pick the right site and you feel like you're all alone even if the park is packed. The sites are all large and nicely spaced. There is no office or campground store and the closest store to buy ice and other supplies is about 10 miles. So make sure you have plenty of ice before you get there. Then sit back and relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Date of Stay: April, 2006
There is nothing special about this campground. The sites are close together and can be quite soft and muddy. We stayed here because we were visiting the Cincinnati area and prefer to take our RV with us. Even though it is one of the closest campgrounds to the Covington/Cinci area, it is still much to far to be convenient. The best feature of the campground was the management. They were friendly and helpful. We would stay here again just for that.
Date of Stay: November, 2005
This is a primitive campground so don't expect luxury. There is water available in each loop. The sites are large, level and gravel with paved roads. What you loose in luxury you gain in being beauty and raw nature. This campground is used heavily during hunting season and during holidays. Other times, especially early spring and late fall before hunting season, it can be nearly empty. So fill your holding tank, crank up the generator and relax with privacy and peace and quiet.
Date of Stay: July, 2005
The only good thing about this campground is it's location. If you are attending functions in the downtown Louisville area this works fine. But getting a spot can be a challenge since they have so many long term residents. The campsites are so close together they are tough to get into. The few sites they have that are managable seem always to be reserved. I am pretty good at getting my 5er in a spot. It took me nearly 20 minutes to get it in the assigned site. With the slide extended there couldn't have been more than 4 or 5 feet for the folks next door to get out of their RV. Never mind using an awning. We parked the truck sideways and it still stuck out into the road. This campground is strictly for a quick in and out to avoid a hotel.

As I now own a car with the government mandated tpms sensors, I was brainstorming what to do about the warning light while installing my winter wheels a few weeks ago. I decided I'd rather not pony up the cost of equipment to reset the sensors myself or pay the dealer to reprogram them. That basically leaves just ignoring the light or the classic electrical tape fix. I really hate having orange warning lights illuminated on my dash, if for no other reason than people always asking what that light is? or why it's on? like the car might blow up at any minute. That left the tape fix, but it can look kinda sloppy. So, I decided to go a little more in-depth with it and cover the light at the source. Out came the gauges so that I could put the tape over the light on the back of the gauge face.
Got them this far....
Then flipped them over and removed the white plastic cover. Just had the pc board left to go. I released the tabs circled in red in the pic below, but it was still caught somewhere down the middle of the board.
Seemed like it was at the base of the needles (the large round silver parts) I didn't want to twist/pull too hard on the board, so I settled for putting the tape right on the face of the gauges for now. Anyone have any experience with taking these gauges apart? Or anyone inspired to try something similar now that might be able to figure out how to get that last part out of the way? I'm mostly happy with it as there is no orange light and you can't see the tape at all at night. During the day though the tape sticks out a bit, so I'd really like to complete this how I originally intended. Any help/advise would be appreciated.

Group Trying to Save a Part of Evansville's 'Hidden History'
Indiana Landmarks recently released it's Top 10 Endangered Sites and one of the newcomers on that list is right here in Evansville. The house, built in 1935, is the city's one and only genuine connection to a famed architect and his radical style of architecture.
In a sea of shotgun-style houses, it stands out. Chances are, however, you might not see it at first. Build deep into the narrow lot, shaded by a canopy of whispering trees, it's the little brown house at 1506 East Indiana Street.
History is much more than what we know. It's often what we don't realize.
"It was sleeping here in Evansville," said Dennis Au, the city's historic preservation officer.
It has now been woken up.
It's number is 1506 and it's name is the Peters-Margedant House. Arriving at the inconspicuous brown house is actually a departure.
"This little home here in Evansville's one and only genuine connection to Frank Lloyd Wright," Au said. "This house was an important aspect in the development of Wright's style which is called the Usonian style. It was anticipated to be a more affordable kind of house and here we have it right in Evansville."
Frank Lloyd Wright is considered by many historians to be one of the most important and influential architects in American history. His name isn't on this house but his style helped shape it.
"There are a lot of radical ideas that Frank Lloyd Wright had developed and his apprentice William Wesley Peters brought together here," Au said.
Peters grew up in Evansville and attended what is now the University of Evansville. After two years, he transferred to MIT. He became Wright's first apprentice. During a two-year break from his apprenticeship, Peters married Wright's step-daughter much to the dismay of his teacher. During that two year stint back in Evansville, Au said, Peters built the house on East Indiana St. using the radical style of architecture that Wright was still developing at the time. Peters eventually took over Wright's studio after his death in 1959.
Many experts believe the house holds tremendous national and international significance because it could shed light on the collaboration that Wright and Peters had.
However, the house that Peters designed is now on the state's Top 10 most endangered sites list.
"You see one bungalow after another," Au said. "There's a rhythm and then all of the sudden you have this. It's a complete departure from everything."
"I look at it all the time," said next-door neighbor Lashonda Skinner. "Wow. That's really a house? It's nothing like our houses."
That's precisely the reason why a consortium of people are trying to save the house, Au said. The group consists of state and local historians, historic preservation societies and the University of Evansville. And that's the reason why a group of people -- headlined by u-of-e -- are trying to save the little brown house.
"I hate to always pull the 'this is the first one' card," Au said. "Let's just call it -- right at the birth of the Usonian style here."
Au said he hopes the group will have a big announcement in the coming months. He said the group would like to keep the house on the current property but the possibility exits that it could be moved to a new, permanent location.

Recent clashes between Governors and Legislatures have fixed attention again upon the old and unsettled question of the proper relation, under the American system, of the Executive to lawmakers. The revived interest is partly accidental. Party differences rather than political theories account for the acrimony and excitement which have been aroused in several States.

Reviews of this property
Very good and intensive communication, before, during and after stay, Appartment was very nice and we had a good week in London.
Isha was always in contact and offert all the help we needed.
I would recommend to stay there
Isha was a great host. Communicatoin with her via mail was awesome. Also the apartment was super nice .... enough space for us 5...and there were also some tube maps and tourisic brochures provided - thank you very much for that. We also loved the bed linen - they were very cosy, so we had a good rest every night. The area of the apartment was quite perfect - just a few minutes to the station...so we could be in the city center very quick.
I would definetly recommend Isha and the apartment for stay in London.
Thank you very much Isha, we really enjoyed our stay - all thes best :)
Very nice apartment near the Underground Station and near to the Tower of London. The owner of the apartment is also quiet friendly and helpful. The area around the apartment is a little bit dirty and loud in the night.
Nice apartment with very friendly host!!.
She gave good information and tips for restaurants as well that she brought a coffeemachine!
Close to metro and London central and great multiculti part in London to stay in.
Some more readinglight in bed- and livingroom is recommandable.
The apartment is very well located to public transport and is very well equipped.
There were four there and felt very comfortable.
Die Wohnung liegt sehr gut an öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln und ist sehr gut ausgestattet.
Wir waren zu viert dort und haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.
Simple but clean and cozy apartment on two floors, which are connected to a steep staircase. Very good organization of the check in and useful information in advance by e mail. Following public transport excellent because DLR Trains in 2 minutes distance to Bank or Monument fahren.Viele little Pakistani grocery stores in the immediate vicinity as well as a small supermarket and bakery. Drawback is the acoustic sealing of the window fehelnde. The passing in close proximity to trains can be clearly heard, so earplugs are highly recommended! We stayed with our three children a nice holiday week and found the apartment for the price a great deal! Maybe a little more dishes could still be in the future and so purchased, so you do not quite so often must wash .... A big thank you to Isha!
Einfache, aber saubere und gemütliche Wohnung über zwei Stockwerke, die mit einer steilen Treppe verbunden sind. Sehr gute Organisation des Check in und hilfreiche Infos vorab per e mail. Anschluss an öffentlichen Nahverkehr hervorragend, da DLR Trains in 2 Minuten Entfernung bis Bank bzw Monument fahren.Viele kleine pakistanische Lebensmittelgeschäfte in direkter Nähe sowie ein kleiner Supermarkt und Bäcker. Nachteil ist die fehelnde Schalldichtigkeit der Fenster. Die in direkter Nähe vorbeifahrenden Züge sind deutlich zu hören, also sind Ohrstöpsel dringend anzuraten! Wir haben hier mit unseren drei Kindern eine schöne Ferienwoche verbracht und finden die Wohnung für den Preis ein prima Angebot! Vielleicht könnten noch zukünftig etwas mehr Teller usw angeschafft werden, damit man nicht ganz so oft spülen muss.... Ein herzliches Danke an Isha!
We had a great time in this well situated apartment near Shadwell. The apartment had sufficient room for the five of us and had all the facilities we required. The apartment was clean on arrival and bedlinnen was provided as agreed. Except for the shower that could have had a bit more power we really liked the place.
The apartment is very conveniently located, clean and tidy. The three of us have felt very comfortable. Isha has welcomed us warmly and emailed detailed sketches of arrival in advance. So we spent wonderful days in London.
Die Wohnung liegt sehr günstig, ist sauber und ordentlich. Zu dritt haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Isha hat uns herzlich empfangen und im Vorfeld ausführliche Anreiseskizzen gemailt. So haben wir schöne Tage in London verbracht.
Isha is nice treatment and very attentive, he gave us all facilities during the stay. The property is simple and good value. Excellent wifi connection. The neighborhood is at the beginning of zone 2, it is possible that upon arrival does not give a good impression or appears uncertain, but it is not, it is a quiet, residential neighborhood, with grocery stores in Chapman Street and family-like . The DLR station is nearby and there are often passing trains.
Great host and a pleasant stay in London :)
Isha es de trato muy agradable y muy atenta, nos dio todo tipo de facilidades durante la estancia. La propiedad es sencilla y con buena relación calidad-precio. Conexión wifi excelente. El barrio se encuentra al principio de la zona 2, es posible que al llegar no dé muy buena impresión o que parezca inseguro, pero no es así, es un barrio tranquilo y residencial, con comercios de alimentación en Chapman Street y viviendas de tipo familiar. La estación del DLR se encuentra cerca y hay mucha frecuencia de paso de trenes.
Great host and a pleasant stay in London :)
Adequate and everything needed for a pleasant stay in London apartment. It is not in the center but next to a train station (Shadwell) where you can reach in just 30 minutes.
Isha, was a great hostess, providing us with the check-in and check-out our schedules, and telling us about everything needed for our stay.
Un apartamento adecuado y con todo lo necesario para una estancia agradable en Londres. No está en el mismo centro pero situado al lado de una estación de tren (Shadwell) donde puedes llegar en cuestión de 30 minutos.
Isha, ha sido una gran anfitriona, facilitándonos el check-in y el check-out a nuestros horarios, e informándonos sobre todo lo necesario para nuestra estancia.

Bell, Calif. (AP) - Voters had a chance to clean house Tuesday after months of outrage directed at a city government that turned the modest Southern California suburb of Bell into the national poster child for municipal corruption.
They went to the polls in a recall election involving four City Council members who have pleaded not guilty in an ongoing case to dozens of charges of fraud and misappropriation of public funds.
Authorities say the council members were among a group of current and former city officials who stole more than $5.5 million from
Councilmember Lorenzo Velez has not been charged and was seeking re-election Tuesday.
Mayor Oscar Hernandez and Councilman George Mirabal had been up for re-election but decided not to run after the scandal broke. Councilman Luis Artiga, whose term would have expired in 2013, resigned after he and the others were arrested. Their names remained on the recall ballot.
Vice Mayor Teresa Jacobo, whose term also expires in 2013, chose to remain in office and fight the recall.
The recall effort was launched last summer after residents learned the four part-time council members were making $100,000 a year and giving annual salary and compensation packages of hundreds of thousands of dollars to a handful of city employees.
A total of 17 replacement candidates were on the ballot, including an attorney, high school English teacher, construction contractor, truck driver, social worker, retired baker and environmental activist.
"This really did bring our community together," longtime resident Alfred Areyan said. "Now I'm just hoping we pick the right people."
The recall initially united thousands of people in this city where one in six people live in poverty, but alliances have frayed in recent weeks as candidates have hurled increasingly vitriolic claims at one another.
Meanwhile, one of the front-runners, Miguel Sanchez, died last week at age 34. Friends said he had complained of flulike symptoms before being hospitalized Friday.
His name will remain on the ballot to replace Jacobo, if she is recalled. If Sanchez wins, the
Just when a new council could be sworn in was uncertain.
County officials expect to have election results certified by March 22. Under ordinary circumstances, the outgoing council would then call a meeting to swear in the new members. But last month, a judge ordered Jacobo, Hernandez and Mirabal to stay at least 100 yards from City Hall.
"There are some challenges with that, but we're slogging through it," interim City Attorney Jamie Casso has said. "We think we'll come up with an option or two this week."

Speed may kill, but ramming the point home as family members visit road accident victims at hospital is offensive, says a Melbourne City councillor.
Tonight, Melbourne City Council will decide whether to grant The Alfred hospital a permit to erect a 20-metre illuminated sign - carrying Transport Accident Commission slogans and other advertisements - on the helipad above Commercial Road.
Cr Kevin Chamberlin said it was "offensive and inappropriate" to push a road safety message at the hospital entrance and the application was "strongly opposed" by nearby residents.
The application was refused earlier this month by the council's planning and development committee. A council report said the sign was a significant visual intrusion and would detract from the appearance and character of the area.
But planning committee chairwoman Catherine Ng, who supports the sign, said it would help raise money for the hospital without affecting the local amenity.
She said referring the matter to this week's council meeting would help cover issues not covered so far.

Might be opening a can of worms here, but I can tell you, I would prefer someone who has real world experience, and a proven tract record, than someone with just a piece of paper, and not real world experience.
School is GREAT, it has its uses, and that's why people go, BUT, for the time you are in school, there is someone out there putting in their 40+hours a week, learning in the REAL WORLD.
To do the things you aspire to do(Chef on a cruise ship, that is thread worthy in its' self), you will NEED that degree, no questions asked.Traveling the world via cruise ship is laughable, you WILL travel, you WILL get hours off, but you won't see the world(except through a porthole). I suggest that you read up on how employment in the cruise ship industry works before getting your heart set on it.
School will teach you the basics, the fundamentals, but the students that come out are only a good as the Chefs that teach them. I have had interns come to work for me so they can get their credits, I ask them to prep me 10lbs of mirepoix, and they look at me like a deer in the headlight. School doesn't always teach the sense of urgency that is MANDATORY in the industry. I have had kids that think it is OK to take 20min to put a salad out. . . .sorry, BUT SCREW THAT, if you can't make it, and make it up to my standards in under 4min, than I have no time to waste with you. On the other hand, I have had some students come through my kitchens that are gems. You KNOW that they have "it", the BIG DIFFERENCE: Prior industry experience.
For the time that you put into school, you are working towards one thing, and one thing only: A piece of paper. In certain parts of the industry, some folks don't give a rats ass about a degree or not, while other aspects won't even consider talking to you, unless you have that paper. It all depends on what you want to do.
Please though, for the LOVE OF GOD, read up on the cruise ship industry. . . I get the feeling you might be a little disillusioned by the whole thing, and not realize that you are working 7 days a week for the term of your contract(normally 6months, iirc). You are NOT scheduled days off, you are scheduled HOURS off. When the ship is in port, you STILL have to prepare fresh food for the floating city you are a part of. F&B is one of the most demanding(besides house keeping)jobs on a cruise ship. One of my best friends in life, has been a cruise director for Cunard for the last almost 7 years, the stories he could tell you would make you SERIOUSLY rethink your notion of cruise ship work. I go on cruises often(try to every other year, as it's the cheapest way to get home/stay on island/not bother family), you need to see first hand the work involved. OH, not to mention PAY. Your pay is largely dictated by where the ship is registered from. If the minimum wage in the port of registry is $3 an hour, they can legally start you at $3 an hour, plus room and board(hot racking and no privacy) . . . .. .. . all that said, it's up to you.
That paper, it can mean the world to some, but there are LOADS of VERY WELL TO DO Chefs that are all SOHK(School of Hard Knocks).
I am sure there are others that will chime in with their opinion, and hopefully she some more light onto your situation.

The answer to your question is NO but that little piece of paper can open up many doors that might not open without it.
I would try to do both, work under the best chef you can in the industry getting real world experience while going to school. By the time your done you have a piece of paper saying you went to school and experience working in the industry.

You don't need to go to culinary school to be a great chef, but it can be a great, great resource. I learned things that I wouldn't have been able to pick up in just a restaurant and in my opinion when you learn how to make things without cutting corners the less likely you're going to cut corners down the road. I agree I've been in class with a bunch of arrogant kids who think they're better because they go to culinary school but like with any school you get what you put into it. So yes absolutely get your feet wet before you decide, it's better to find out if it's not for you while you're young and before you spend your life savings at CIA or JWU. Food Network and Food Channel glorify the really fun parts of the industry and they don't show enough of how much hard work people put into their craft.

Not many of the old masters (not these new tv star guys) went to schools. They learned on the job and at HKU (hard knocks university)
The kitchen was your classroom, where you actually did it.

To be a line cook? No you do not need culinary school.
Our generation faces the expectation of higher education. The self-taught path you must overcome that "oh, you only have a GED" stigma. I am currently enrolled in a culinary program myself. Our school runs a restaurant which does 3 services a week to give the students some experience. However it is true that it is not enough - 40-50 covers of a 7 course meal produced by 8 students a teacher and TA. I approach my education with a 50/50 attitude. My resume when it goes out will focus 50% on my education and 50% on my real life experience. This means right now I am posting on my first day off in 3 months. Between school and work I find myself doing 6ams to 1ams almost daily and it wears on you. Some days I wish I was a dish washer or bartender, how relaxed my life would be. But I am slightly off as a person and enjoy 99% of this all.
I am also developing a program for my school to provide more promotion to the culinary program. This will be the development of a company from the floor up. It is chances like this which pay off. It is a great resume builder for myself. What surprised me is that no one else really stepped forward to do it. I thought to myself "I could put an hour into my day for this planning, Screw it lets do it''. If you get involved with your program a school can offer great opportunities. Education is what you make it. Its not what someone else has put forward for you.

The problem of not having your papers is clear when you think that you are qualified enough to handle the job due to experience, they always ask do you have your papers? and 9 times out of 10 they will not hire you because you do not have them. I am learning this first hand as I am returning to NS after all these yrs in hopes of getting a good paying job with my experience I have now.

I feel it is becoming more and more important in todays environment to have your papers. However with that being said its not as much the papers which mater (cause truthfully its not incredibly difficult to challenge for them) but its the experience you have before and after. I only say this because I myself did my culinary schooling along with my apprenticeship to obtain my papers over the course of 5 years. Then immediately after i used them to get a foot in the door and bulk up my resume with some very amazing opportunities. Yet i have run into many a Chef who honestly brag about papers and this and that but can't make a quality sauce to save their life and cook no better then some of the line cooks I've met in my day.
Also as you said your only in high school take the time to read as much into the trade and all the different aspects (fine dinning, hotel, cruise, resort ect...) before setting your heart on one. With every interesting and intriguing opportunity and all the perks comes many downfalls that you must be prepared to over look and/or deal with. Whether that may be time away from family and friends, hours that make it virtually impossible to have a social life, and pay cheques that make it hard to pay the bills. But if your serious and prepared to give it your all, keeping your head up through the good times and the bad then you, one day, will be successful. At the end of the day you really have to want to do it.
Sorry to stay from the point, basically what I'm saying is go out and work in the industry and get some basic skills down. Then if your still in love with the trade go to school and learn some of the finer points while getting your papers. After thats said and done decide which route you really want to proceed with.
Hope that possibly helped a bit, cheers.

I'm gonna go ahead and say this is bunk. Definitely not 9 times out of 10, maybe not even 5 out of 10. It's all about experience. Your resume becomes your "papers". You do have to apply within your means(don't expect to get hired at a fine-dining restaurant when you barley have experience with cafe/diners/more rustic fare. However, if fine-dining were your goal, you could take the proper steps to achieve that goal). However, in my experience(8+ years of working at every level of the industry without a degree) most chefs realize that it's your experience, personality, and work ethic that matter NOT whether/where you went to school(though it CAN help, not arguing that).
It comes down to what you think is right for YOU. Are you a better hands on learner or do you feel more comfortable learning in a classroom setting? Are you prepared to pay all that money for something you can do without? Are you prepared to work hard/push yourself to make up for the lack of contacts/resources you may have made at school(this is probably the greatest advantage from going to school)? Are you a motivated self-learner? Will you spend your free time reading cook books/researching techniques and will you make the most of the opportunities you get in the workplace(asking questions, writing down recipes, having enthusiasm for learning on the job)? Things to think about. Just be honest with yourself and find out what's right for you.

Regardless of one's personal opinion, it certainly pays to know and understand the licensing, or lack thereof, certification, or regulations of the country in which you are or plan to work.
The previous two posts clearly illustrate the difference between working in Canada and the USA. Canada does have a certification process in place, the USA does not.

my initial thought is, not necessarily.
i am super happy i went to culinary school. i am happy that i know what a veloute is; a lozenge cut is; a chinois is; a rondeau is, a liason, etc. BUT, i am also very much aware of how much of the practical aspects school does NOT teach you.
if i were to surmise a ratio of importance, id give:
school 5%,
experience 15%,
and work ethic/attitude 80%

i'm a line cook with a degree, i work at a resort, it has it's challenges. I traveled across the states to get here. What you retain from school is methods. What you practice depends on the kitchen you work. After you get your courage methods timing among other things down, it's all about taste and flavors. Work for the best, then run around a small but good mom and pop restaurant.
As far as traveling, try a getting a business visa. i've no experience and only read about them briefly, but if you can afford school, you can probably obtain a business visa to say, India.
I could be wrong, find your own path ever washed dishes?

Your dreams sound good, and very similar to mine 30 years ago.
Degree or not, it is the employer who hires. If the employer wants a cook 6"4 with brown eyes and a dimpled chin, he/she will eventually get it. If the employer wants "papers" and are willing to pay, they will get it. Many employers are looking for some kind of paperwork, but there is no one "paper" or certificate the makes a cook. Every school has their version, and every school has a different curriculum, textbooks and tests.
The Europeans don't really have "Culinary schools", they have an apprenticeship system. The apprentice is usually 15 when they start, work 4 days, and go 1 day per week to school. Usually for 3 years. This provides a balance of work experience and knowledge.
The culinary school system in N. America is a "front end loading" system. The student is crammed full of knowledge but has very little time to apply this knowledge or to master the techniques shown during the course curriculum. Unbalanced.
I really urge you to get a job in the kitchen--this means "underwater ceramics technician" (ie dish washer) maybe some prep, and if really lucky, cold stuff. This will provide you with some real work experience before going into culinary school. This is what I did, and many others on this board have done as well.
Go to the most economical culinary school you can find. This usually means a community college.
You do need school, remember:
You will not learn everything you need to know from one employer--or even a dozen employers, your employers may show you a false technique or explain incorrectly ("sear the meat to lock the juices in"....) Schools do not--or in any case should not.
Also remember that school is like a piggy bank--in that you can only take out what you have put in. There is no bank interest or magic involved. Many culinary school instructors (big name or not) can tell tales of students not willing to put any effort into the course curriculum.
Hope this helps, please show this post to your parents and school instructor

St. Camillus Team Sweeps To Championship
The St. Camillus winter intramural league playoffs were held these past three weeks, with the Orange Junior team, seeded third in the playoffs, taking on the sixth seeded team in the opening round of the playoffs.
The boys got by their first round game with a convincing 35-14 victory. Nyseam Williams led the team in scoring with 12 points, Sean Peter Mullen with 11 points, Eddie Coyne with 10 points and Ian Binder chipping in with two points. Patrick Comer and Arthur Terehoff hounded the ball, contributing to an effective defense.
The second round saw the Orange team pitted against the second seeded team, which earlier in the year beat the Orange team rather easily. The boys took to the floor looking for revenge. The Orange team dominated the game from the opening whistle. The Orange had a 11-5 lead at halftime with Nyseam Williams scoring four points, Sean Peter Mullen adding four points and Eddie Coyne scoring an additional three points.
Coach Ed Coyne gave the team a pep talk at half time, and the boys exploded. The Orange team's defense of Aidan O'Sullivan, Jamel and Jaylin Fletcher, and Stephen Palagonia smothered the opposition, and their offense exploded for 26 second half points. Nyseam Williams added 14 points for a game high 18 points, Eddie Coyne scored six additional points for a game total of nine points, Sean Peter Mullen added four points for a game total of eight points and Ian Binder scored two additional points. The Orange team had their second playoff round win, regaining their advantage for the early season loss.
The finals found the Orange team pitted against the number one seeded team, and facing a daunting challenge: how to stop the league's best player and highest scorer.
Before the game Coach Coyne told the team that "it is our team against one of the best players ever to play in the St. Camillus league."
The Orange team responded with their best all-around game of the year. Coming out with a new defense, not played all year, geared to shut down the best player, the defense responded. At the end of the first quarter, the Orange team defense of Arthur Terehoff, Stephen Palagonia, Jaylin and Jamel Fletcher, Aidan O'Sullivan, and Patrick Comer smothered their opposition, leading 6-5. The second quarter saw a show put on by Eddie Coyne, who put the team on his back, scoring six points, and gathering rebound after rebound, blocking shots and dribbling through double teams. At the half the boys were leading 12-5. One half to go for a championship!
Coach Coyne urged his players to give it their all, and that they did.
The third quarter saw the boys on a tear, scoring 15 points, led by Sean Peter Mullen scoring seven points, Nyseam Williams scoring four points and Eddie Coyne chipping in with two points for a commanding 27-15 lead. One quarter to go for a championship! Coach Coyne pleaded with his boys to lay it on the line. The team responded. The offense added 10 additional points in the fourth quarter, Nyseam Williams with four points (12 points) and Sean Peter Mullen (11 points) Eddie Coyne (10 points) and Ian Binder (4 points) adding two points each. The horn sounded and the Orange team and their parents whooped and hollered, for they pulled off the upset and won themselves a championship!
Coach Coyne after the game told the boys that all of their hard work and practices had paid off.
Coyne was then called to the podium to call out each player and give his team their championship trophies. The smiles on the faces of Ian Binder, Stephen Palagonia, Patrick Comer, Nyseam Williams, Sean Peter Mullen, Arthur Terehoff, Jaylin and Jamel Fletcher, Aidan O'Sullivan and Eddie Coyne as they received their trophies was something the coach and their parents will never forget.
After the trophy ceremony, Coyne thanked the boys, his assistant coach, and their parents for all their hard work, and told each of the boys how proud he was of each of them, but more importantly, that they learned what the word team meant. The boys won the championship, he said, not because they had the best players, but because they had the best team in every sense of the word.
Congratulations Orange!
