The 1880s are remembered for NSW, Queensland and New Zealand first meeting on the rugby field. Long forgotten though is that Victoria too made its debut in that decade – a happening that caused a cross-code controversy to erupt in Melbourne newspapers.
In 1888 the impending arrival of the first British Lions team led to CE Chapman, a young Cambridge University educated teacher, employed at Melbourne Grammar School, successfully founding the colony's first rugby club.
Through July and August 1888 the "Melbourne" team played against the Britishers (losing 15-5) and then in two contests against the New Zealand Natives who were on their way to England (the home team were beaten 3 tries to nil in the first game, but secured a praiseworthy draw in the second).
When the Natives returned the following winter the teams met again with the visitors winning two further games. The latter match is recorded in some rugby books as being against "Victoria", however the newspaper reports at the time make no such distinction, referring to the contest as the final meeting between the Maori party and the Melbourne rugby club.
Nevertheless, the presence of seemingly proficient rugby players in Melbourne (who had since split into three clubs and formed a Victorian Rugby Union) did not escape the excited attention of the NSWRU in Sydney.
Records of a meeting early in 1889 note NSWRU Secretary Monty Arnold saying:
"He thought every footballer should notice with pleasure that rugby was gaining ground in Melbourne, and he believed from what he had ascertained that an intercolonial match with Victoria would be played here in July."
With barely a skerrick of mention in Melbourne newspapers, a team of Victorian players was chosen in early July 1889 to make the train journey northwards.
Meanwhile a representative of the VRU wrote to The Referee newspaper in Sydney (reproduced 9.9.08):
"We are a small, but devoted band, endeavoring to plant the flag of Rugby Unionism in the enemies' citadel, surrounded by an indifferent public and hostile press…But in spite of all obstacles we have emerged with renewed strength and enthusiasm to commence the present season with a very bright future before us."
The Victorian team were to stay a week, playing NSW twice, and against a side of players selected from Sydney's "Juniors" clubs (a reference to clubs outside of the main premiership competition) – all the contests were set for the Sydney Cricket Ground.
The tourists arrived in Sydney the day before their first match against NSW, and were housed at the Empire Hotel – "second to none in the city" (situated on the corner of Pitt and Hunter Streets, where "Currency House" now stands). It was reported that John Calvert, President of the NSWRU (from 1874-1915):
"…gave the visitors a hearty welcome, and referred with much pleasure to the fact that intercolonial rugby matches had at last been established with Victoria."
The Victorians (light blue jerseys) performed well in both games against NSW (red/maroon jerseys). The home team took victory in each (13-6 and 17-14), but the visitors won good plaudits for the closeness of the scores, and their apparent quick mastery of the finer points of the game – a view reinforced by the severity and manner of the Victorian's 23-6 mauling of the city's best Juniors' players in the mid week game, despite the contest being played out in heavy rain and upon a slippery surface.
The Sydney Mail enthused about the visitors:
"Without the shadow of a doubt the Melbourne men have some rattling good players in their ranks."
The same journal reported that the managers of the New Zealand Natives, casting an entreprenuial eye towards a bountiful crowd-puller at the SCG, had made (an ultimately futile) attempt with the NSWRU to arrange a match against a combined XV of the pick of the NSW and Victorian sides.
Meanwhile The Sydney Morning Herald endeavoured to explain to its readers the Victorians' surprising form:
"Although the Rugby Union in Melbourne has been in existence only a few months, it must not therefore be supposed that the players from the sister colony are novices in the game.
"As a matter of fact, they learnt their football in past seasons in the various strongholds of rugby, notably New Zealand, and therefore came here on the same footing as our representatives so far as acquaintance with the game is concerned."
The Daily Telegraph wrote of the team:
"The southerners came over with an excellent reputation, it being know that the team was made up of ex-New Zealand and English players, all of whom had been players of 'the first water' [the highest degree of quality or purity in diamonds or pearls] in their native countries, and they had proved their skill in Melbourne by having played very hot games against Shaw's English team last season and the Maoris during the past and present seasons."
The Sydney Morning Herald suggested it was only a lack of combination that ultimately let the Victorians' down:
"The visitors played with more fire and dash than our men, and, undoubtedly, finished in better trim, but they did not play well together, and it was only their excellent following and working close on the ball that saved them from a heavier defeat. The efforts of Miller, Diamond, Scarborough, and Smart would individually bear comparison with those of our own players."
The Victorians were led by Tom Scarborough, who had migrated from northern England, and had been a rugby player of some repute for the Halifax club, his county, and is praised by Frank Marshall in his 1892 book, Football: The Rugby Union Game.
Bob Seddon, captain of the 1888 British team had told reporters in New Zealand that:
"Tom Scarborough used to play for Yorkshire County [1885-86], and was a very good dodger and runner, and was noted at Home for his dodging runs."
At a NSWRU dinner to farewell the team after the final game, Scarborough thanked their hosts for their hospitality, but added:
"I regret to say there is not a single native-born Victorian in the team."
Monty Arnold then rose to his feet, and, according to various reports, including The Sydney Morning Herald, took a few pot-shots at Victorian rules and Melbourne business generally:
"… said that in Melbourne if a young man took to rugby football he was told by his employer that he need not come back to work again.
"He considered that the Victorian game was going from bad to worse. The amateurs were crushed out by paid men, and the game was an outlet for a class of players they did not want to have in rugby football."
Despite the apparent limit and brevity of Arnold's salvo – and that he wasn't the first person to have suggested some Melbourne footballers were paid, nor that instances of employers in New Zealand and England banning their workers from playing rugby had occurred – Melbourne's newspaper columnists and football community reacted with all the fury of a whipped dog.
If Arnold had done it for effect, to get rugby in Melbourne noticed, he got his wish and then some.
Not content to deny the charges, as well as point to the paucity of Sydney football crowds compared to Melbourne's as self-validating confirmation of the Victorian code's superior merit, some commentators went so far as to take aim at the Victorian rugby team itself.
The Argus opened with:
"A number of rugby footballers resident in Melbourne, have just visited Sydney, and at the close of the trip a Mr Arnold connected with the rugby game would seem to have 'ran amuck' on the subject of the Australian game of football. But for this fact many would not have known that such a thing as a Victorian team of rugby players existed."
…and then added:
"The rugby players are not likely to help their game by making childish and improbable charges. Yet had it not been for Mr Arnold's outburst people here would scarcely have been aware of the fact that a few retired English and New Zealand footballers had somewhat impertinently borrowed the name of Victoria as a title for their team, and taken it upon themselves to represent the colony in the football field.
"The team by-the-by seems to have been named Victorian on something of the 'lucus a non lucendo' principle [ie. an absurd contradiction], because there is no Victorian in it and it has never been, so far as anyone knows, victorious."
The first Victorian rugby team had come into being, and though it comprised able exponents of the game from all parts of the rugby globe, it had been delivered into a harsh world.

Tips for Quality Commercial Construction
Apr 18, 2012
If you're looking to improve your business, a renovation may be just what you need. Because there are so many options available to you, here are some suggestions to make sure that you find what you're looking for and are completely satisfied at the close of your project:
Don't settle for less than your dream. There's no reason why you can't have what you want, as long as you're able to communicate it well. Make a list of the features that you absolutely have to have, as well as those which would be nice, but not necessary. Be thorough - you can always discuss these features with a contractor later and determine which ones will not work, but aim high and you will be pleased with the results.
Ask questions. Be sure that the party you're considering is knowledgeable about the project and able to provide good insight into any potential issues. They should be able to walk you through your options and let you know what will and won't work, and how they can help you get the most out of your project.
Keep a budget in mind, but be flexible. In order to get the perfect commercial remodel job completed, you may have to put in a few extra dollars, but if you keep realistic expectations, there's no reason why you can't complete a beautiful business interior at a reasonable price.
Find someone you can trust. The company you choose to provide your commercial construction project should listen to you above all. They should be committed to making your dreams a reality, and they should be willing to work with you through the whole process providing friendly support along the way. In short, they should have a business ethic that is reflected in their actions.
Have more questions about commercial construction? Contact us today and we'll do everything we can to help you be informed about your commercial construction decision.

"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all the he has and buys the field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it."
Matthew 13:45-46
Am I willing to lose my life to gain it? Am I willing to sell all I have for the one pearl, the precious jewel?
In this journey and past few weeks I have been so determined that the easy path was the best path for us. That these struggles and difficult decisions were just signs that where I wanted to be and what I wanted to be doing was where we were really supposed to be heading. But I was definitely wrong.
After so much searching and searching trying to find a place to rent that would allow pets (large dogs especially) and 6 month leases (which is pretty close to impossible near a college) we had finally found a place in our price rang in the town (Blacksburg, VA) where we wanted to move. And then yesterday happened. Anthony and our friend Derrick went to finish up painting and get the apartment move in ready when, Anthony realized how moist it was in the apartment; and at his first viewing of it there had been mold but was reassured that it was just mildew and it would be cleaned. But with further research and acknowledging the environment of the old apartment… The "mildew" growing in it that had been cleaned away closely (to close) resembled black mold… Duh duh duh…
And now we have no where to move. Our move in date being tomorrow Saturday July 6. Back to square one literally.
In these moments instead of turning to the One who makes all things work together for my good I tend to swivel to the flesh and focus on what choices we could make that would make everything sooo much easier! If we move back to Atlanta now it would be sooo easy to find an apartment ( minus the mold) it would be sooo easy to find a nanny job and Anthony already has a few people that have offered him jobs….
But seriously, yes all that would be easy, and our life wouldn't be bad if thats what we chose. But what will we gain if we push through this and make it to the end of this "3rd" year of internship that we have felt lead to do. What new revelations and truths will we gain and what freedom will come of the trial. I know for one thing both of us are having to do a lot of trusting and growing up in this season. We have been taken care of the past 3 1/2 years of our marriage first of all by God and then by our loving friends and family who have supported our journey in this internship. But now choosing the road less traveled when the sacrifices are our own.. Having to work 2 jobs, living in place that is even more uncomfortable then where we are now, not getting to live "in town" near the aquatic center, the Kroger (I loath walmart…for the most part), not being near the church or the home groups. All of those things in the bigger picture seem so small. I can shop at walmart (it isn't going to kill me), I can walk/exercise with a friend out here, the church and home groups are only 30 minutes away (which isn't really that far, in Atlanta everything is 30 minutes away) and working 2 jobs with awesome people who love the Lord is a blessing, and living somewhere, somewhat uncomfortable is bearable for 6 months I can do all things through Christ! So I want to be willing to sell everything, to sacrifice what I have for the Gospel, so my husband and I can learn all we can in the last few months we are in Virginia and Dwelling Place NRV, I want to make the sacrifices (even if it offends my flesh) I want to take the road less traveled… The one that isn't really that easy…. I want to choose Jesus over this world (isn't that the battle I am really fighting…). And that is just what I am going to do, by the grace of God.

Bonus Pastor Catholic College is a five form entry secondary
school for girls occupying two separate sites; Winlaton and
Churchdown campuses. Central to the design solution was a
requirement to reorganise the layouts of the two sites to enable
greater cohesion across the year groups with a new organisational
model based on whole departments. The reorganised layout reduced
movement which enabled the college to organise the curriculum more
efficiently, improve pastoral care and create an environment for
sustained improvement in teaching and learning.
The new buildings were occupied by the approximately 750 pupils in
September 2012.The existing school was fully operational during
construction works and as a result the new school buildings had to
be constructed considerably closer to the popular local amenity,
Green Chain Walk. As a result the external envelope was developed
using a colour palette associated with the woodland and reflect the
changing nature of those colours through the seasons, whilst also
providing a contemporary finish to the school.
Both buildings are designed as a series of interlocking spaces,
rather than rooms off corridors, with break out and circulation
spaces providing opportunities for informal learning and display.
Glimpses from one space to another allow for practical supervision
as well as creating a sense of journey between the activity areas
and faculties.

By Rick Warren
Are you hungry for God?
It is possible to maintain a spiritual hunger for God for the rest of your life. Here are five ways to keep a spiritual appetite.
1. Remind yourself how much God loves you.
The more you understand how much God loves you, the more you're going to love him. The Bible says in Ephesians 3:18-19, "May you have the power to understand … how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God" (NLT, second edition).
2. Stop filling up on junk food.
You are a spiritual being with a God-shaped hole in your heart that only God can fill. When you try to fill it with salary, status, success, passion, possessions, power, prestige, or anything other than God, it's not going to be fulfilling.
Proverbs 15:14 says, "A wise person is hungry for knowledge, while the fool feeds on trash."
3. Make knowing God your number one goal.
Happiness is a byproduct of knowing God. Jesus says in Matthew 6:33, "Seek first God's kingdom and what God wants. Then all your other needs will be met as well" (NCV).
4. Get into God's Word every day.
The Bible is food for your soul. Eating a meal once a week won't keep you healthy. In the same way, you need to feed on God's Word every day.
"You must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment" (1 Peter 2:2 NLT, second edition).
5. Appetite is influenced by association.
If you hang out with people who only care about politics, that's all you're going to care about. If you hang out with people who only care about sports, that's what you're going to care about.
Join a small group for support, because whatever you talk about when you're with others is what you're going to be hungry for. Proverbs 2:20 says, "Join the company of good men and women, and stay on the paths of the righteous" (MSG/NLT, second edition).

'Dream' risks unbeaten record
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Saratoga bettors are hereby forewarned. A pair of meet-ending races that typically produce contenders in both divisions of Saratoga's highly contentious series for 2-year-olds will be run closing weekend at Churchill Downs.
The Bashford Manor Stakes, a Grade 2 race for colts and geldings, occupies its customary position as the closing-day feature on Sunday. The filly counterpart to the Bashford Manor, the $100,000 Debutante Stakes, will be run Saturday with a field of eight 2-year-old fillies.
Favoritism in the Debutante seems likely to go to Cashier's Dream, a Michigan-bred by Service Stripe recently purchased by a partnership headed by Team Valor, or Colonial Glitter, a sharp maiden winner four weeks ago. Several other fillies also appear to be worthy challengers in the 101st running of the 5 1/2-furlong Debutante.
Cashier's Dream, formerly owned and trained by her breeder, James Jackson, was sold following a surprise victory in a June 20 allowance, which lifted her career record to 2 for 2. Donnie Meche will ride Cashier's Dream for new trainer Steve Asmussen.
Colonial Glitter, a Glitterman filly trained by Paul J. McGee, was odds-on in winning a June 10 maiden race in her second start, which followed a third-place finish in a key maiden race May 20. Colonial Glitter is owned by Third Turn Stables, a partnership headed by former NFL all-pro offensive lineman Will Wolford, a Louisville native who viewed the Kentucky Derby in his teenage years from the notoriously rowdy third turn of the infield.
Other contenders are Twin Sails, a recent arrival from Delaware Park for D. Wayne Lukas; Yes Honey, a game maiden winner in her only start; and Lakeside Cup, the beaten favorite in the June 20 allowance won by Cashier's Dream.
Rounding out the Debutante field are War Dress, Gone Bye Bye, and Joanies Bella.
The Debutante is carded as the ninth of 11 races on a Saturday card that begins at 12:40 p.m.
The two allowances on the undercard are intriguing. Catamaran, a late-developing 3-year-old trained by Elliott Walden, should be a strong favorite in the seventh, and Casual Feat, upset winner of the Regret Stakes last month, wheels back in an allowance race in the 10th.
* The $125,000 Bashford Manor at six furlongs is expected to attract the following: Binyamin, Blue Burner, Mannymissedagain, Still Be Smokin', and Storm Passage. The Bashford Manor closes the 53-day meet, after which action on the Kentucky circuit shifts to Ellis Park in Henderson, Ky.

We provide a model of dynamic duopoly in which firms take into account the financial constraints of all firms. The study of the equilibria of our dynamic game leads to the concept of Bankruptcy-Free outputs (BF) in which no firm can drive another firm to bankruptcy without becoming bankrupt itself. We show that, in some cases, Cournot outputs are not a Markovian subgame perfect equilibrium because if these outputs were set, a firm may have incentives to ruin others. In these cases, standard trigger strategies in which collusion is sustained by infinite reversion to Cournot outputs cannot be used. We show that there is a Markov subgame perfect equilibrium in mixed strategies and study its properties. Predation occurs in equilibrium with a positive probability. Finally we adapt the folk theorem to our framework and show that it holds when minimax is taken over the BF outputs

Jacqueline Strauss, a 25- year- old personal loan officer at Second National Bank, under-stands the importance of starting early when it comes to saving for retirement. She has committed $ 3,000 per year for her retirement fund and assumes that she'll retire at age 65. a. How much will she have accumulated when she turns 65 if she invests in equities and earns 8 percent on average? b. Jacqueline is urging her friend, Mike Goodman, to start his plan right away, too, because he's 35. What would his nest egg amount to if he invested in the same manner as Jacqueline and he, too, retires at age 65? Comment on your findings.

Josh Long went 2-3, helping Crab University 13U National to a 4-0 victory over Savage on Saturday at HYCP.
Savage had no answer for John Alkire, who kept runners off the basepaths in his appearance. John held Savage hitless over two innings, allowed no earned runs, walked three and struck out three.
Crab University 13U National stayed on top until the final out after taking the lead in the fourth, scoring one run on an RBI double by Josh.
Crab University 13U National added two more runs in the bottom of the sixth. A passed ball scored Josh to start the scoring in the inning.

According to Calciomercato in Italy, Liverpool are eyeing a move for Nadiem Amiri of Hoffenheim but face competition from Spurs for his signature.
Amiri is the latest in a long line of players to be linked with the club where the first reaction, somewhat naturally, is 'who?'
But whereas this kind of rumour would have been frowned upon under different managers with the worry being that the club are going for risky targets, under Jurgen Klopp we seem to embrace such news.
Amiri could be the next young star to emerge under Klopp if such a deal goes through and whilst that is of course us getting ahead of ourselves, it's how the German has changed our mindsets.
Amiri likes to play through the middle or down the left and has two goals to his name so far this season for the up and coming Bundesliga side.
Thoughts, Reds? Let us know below!

Sign on truck, announcer's comments at Rodeo Parade were inappropriate
What follows is the experience my family had at the Rodeo Parade:
I and my guests recall that the gentleman announcing the floats began his introduction of the Obama float by saying something to the effect that "it is an election year, so I need to read what is on the script." After reading the statement on the script about President Obama supporting small businesses, he laughed and made some derisive comments. After the Democratic floats had passed, he then said it was fitting that the Shirley Septic truck was to follow President Obama's float, and laughingly encouraged the crowd to read the signs on the back of the truck. One sign said, "This truck is hauling the Obama stimulus package."
I believe these comments were unnecessarily polarizing, and made a large contingent of our community feel unwelcome at what is supposed to be a welcoming event. Of course, the parade is a public forum, and all are entitled to express their opinions. But it is inappropriate for one viewpoint to be openly mocked by the organization itself. The announcer's comments and the sign on the back of the truck were rude, derisive and distasteful.
I had family and guests in town from D.C. and California who were also appalled at this non-patriotic and divisive conduct. After the announcer made the offensive comments, I approached the podium and attempted to explain that I was upset by his conduct. He refused to respond to me.

While universities in the Middle Ages were primarily teaching institutions, since the establishment of Berlin University in 1810, there has been much discussion of the relation between teaching and research in higher education. Which is the primary function of the universities and of the academics employed at these institutions, do these functions reinforce or compete with each other, and might there not be variation depending on a particular institution's mission, the student body composition, or other factors? A notable illustration of this tension was the controversy associated with the decision to establish the Johns Hopkins University in 1876 as a graduate school without a linked undergraduate program. US higher educators have in recent decades revisited the controversy, with one milestone being Ernest Boyer's Scholarship Reconsidered that argued for more attention to be focused on the scholarships of integration and dissemination. This book seeks to address the issue of the teaching and research, a controversial topic in higher education research, using empirical comparative data—the Changing Academic Profession survey in 2007.

News Anchor's Powerful Message To People Doubting Rape Victims Goes Viral (WATCH)
A Dallas news anchor's segment is going viral for good reason.
Dale Hansen decided to address those who have been doubting women who have come forward to say they were raped by former football players at Baylor University... something that happens all too often.
"I'm real tired of hearing people say that it 'can't be true, because the women would have reported it years ago if it was.' No. No, they wouldn't. No, they don't. Unfortunately, I know they don't," he says. "My daughter was raped when she was at North Texas. She didn't want to report it then, but did. She doesn't like to talk about it now some 25 years later, but she is because she wants people to know how horrible she was treated."
Thank you so much, Dale, for speaking out. So many people need to hear this.
