Told ya. This game was exactly what I expected … except that it really wasn't very nasty. Come to think of it, other than the fights in the stands, it wasn't nasty at all; and as I recall, last year the Rangers played better and played tougher in games that had some growl.
I also thought the Rangers were better than they were in Stockholm, except that their special teams and their penchant for taking way too many penalties, and some guy in a 91 jersey, turned this into a loss — their first according to the NHL standings.
1) Speaking of fights in the stands, I was talking to a security guy, a Nassau Coliseum employee by the way, about all the fisticuffs. He laughed it off. Then he told me he loves this blog. God love him.
2) Boy, oh boy, did No. 17 have a tough night, and so did his buddy on the other side with the "C" on his chest. Somehow Artem Anisimov in the middle managed to have a decent game. Thought there was some effort from both wingers, but neither could get much done … and all of their penalties were penalties, though I doubt that Capt. Callahan's goalie interference penalty will be called very consistently.
3) Not going to make a big deal out of the calls, either, but the Dan Girardi penalty, the puck was right there, the player's in front of the net, if Girardi doesn't play the man there he gets killed. He has to make that play. No choice. And I don't think it should be a penalty. That, my friends, is pansification. And the Boyle call for delay, well, if the referee who called it really thought that was a penalty, then he could have called it 20 seconds earlier. But if you're going to let a player freeze the puck — and his glove was not on top of it — then you can't all of a sudden decide he can't freeze it anymore.
4) That all said, the Rangers take too many penalties. And Del Zotto's too-many-men penalty is exactly the kind you can't take. You could see that the early PKs completely wrecked the planned forward lines the first half of the first period.
5) Rangers power play, with Brad Richards: 0 for the season.
6) Though I think Richards has played pretty well overall in the three games, and he sure has Gaborik going. Or maybe it's that Gaborik is healthy. He looks, for the most part, like he did two years ago. And if you remember, he was nowhere for stretches of games that year, then, boom, he'd bury one or two and the Rangers would win.
7) And Derek Stepan was better than good on that line in his first shot as the No.1 left winger. Much better than good. You're welcome, Torts.
8) You know what I saw in the Islanders last night? The 1996 Quebec Nordiques. I don't know if they will ever be what those Nords became — the Colorado Avalanche — but I wonder if they will still be playing in the same place when they become real contender. I also wonder if the current ownership/management group can get it to the next step, because they're not there yet. But they sure have boatloads of talent. Hard to praise them for it, too, because they've stunk for so darn long they'd better eventually get some top-notch talent. But they have it. They certainly do.
9) Was looking at that NYR fourth line and thinking, what a mess. It has no particular skill or purpose, made up of players who don't mesh. So Mats Zuccarello is demoted — a move that might give the Rangers the cap room to get a defenseman — and Kris Newbury is called up. At least with Newbury and Mike Rupp, that line might be able to provide some bash. But I've got to tell you also that so far Rupp has underwhelmed me; not nearly the player I thought he was (again, so far). And about Erik Christensen, somebody who knows a lot about the team said, just when you think he couldn't accomplish less in a game, he goes out and does.
10) Not sure I understood John Tortorella's whole mea culpa on putting Brad Richards back on the point on the last power play, tied at 2-2. All I know is that in his mind, that decision somehow led to the Girardi penalty, which led very quickly to the winning goal, and I respect the coach taking responsibility for messing up, even though few probably realized he had.
11) Thought that this was Jan, er, Tim Erixon's best game. But, geez, the depth of the Rangers' D doesn't look so great. I mean, last year they used four guys mostly. Now two of them are hurt, which puts way too much pressure on the two still standing. Michael Del Zotto was pretty good, other than his penalty and a couple of missed nets. Steve Eminger and Jeff Woywitka struggled badly.
My Three Rangers Stars: 1) Marian Gaborik. 2) Derek Stepan. 3) Ruslan Fedotenko.

Britney Spears beats up helpless cars
Britney Spears went to Kevin Federline's home last night but when she wasn't allowed to see her kids she started raging on a white SUV with an umbrella. She was reportedly waiting outside Kevin's place for 45 minutes before her mom eventually picked her up and took her back to the rehab facility.
Look at her go! I thought she was just having fun when she shaved her head but she really is losing her mind. She looks like an escaped mental patient. A week from now we're gonna read about the Promises treatment facility shutting down because she killed all the employees and started eating their faces.
UPDATE: Check out more pictures and a video here.
UPDATE 2: The incident occurred after she left K-Fed's place, and apparently the SUV belonged to the paparazzi who followed her to a gas station.

While I'm waiting for my side smoekr box to come in, I may as well get a heads up on what has to be done to mount it. I'm thinking that there's going to be flanges on the smoker box that should mate up with some of the bolt holes on the side of the char-grill, correct? Now from what I've been able to gather here is that these holes on the char-griller are also undersized and have to be drilled out a little?
Now on to the plate with the damper vent. From what I am hearing, I'm going to have to take that entire plate and damper out or else my smoke won't be hot enough. What about the smoker box? Is there a damper vent on it someplace as well? Also, if I'm guessing right that the vent plate has to come out, what did you do to get it off? I'm thinking a hammer and chisel on the welds would be the fastest way but I'm also thinking about using a dremel to cut the welds a little more neatly. What's worked best for you? One more question, how clear are the instructions that come with the smoker box? Are they pretty straight foreward or are your sort of left to wing it on your own? Thanks for any information on this upcoming project.

Box Score (PDF)
NEWARK, Del. -The University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team met up with Delaware for the second time in this young season, and after falling to the Blue Hens by 15 in November the Quakers fell short again on Friday night at the Bob Carpenter Center, 83-60.
Penn (2-8) played Friday night's game without the services of starters Miles Cartwright, Henry Brooks and Steve Rennard as well as bench players Tony Hicks and Darien Nelson-Henry. All five dressed but sat the game due to a violation of team rules. In addition, Simeon Esprit -- who was hurt in practice since the last time Penn played, on December 8 -- did not dress, and Keelan Cairns has left the team for the spring semester to have surgery and rehab on his back.
That left just seven players available Friday, and while they fought valiantly they inevitably wore down as Delaware (4-8) pressed the play throughout.
Fighting back in the face of adversity, Penn's starting lineup of Camryn Crocker, Fran Dougherty, Dau Jok, Jamal Lewis and Greg Louis jumped out quickly, scoring 12 of the game's first 14 points after only three minutes.
Delaware appeared dazed by the opening punch, but the Blue Hens recovered. Using their inside prowess, they overcame a 0-for-13 performance on three-point shots by grabbing 14 offensive rebounds for 18 second-chance points. Delaware scored 11 straight points late in the half, and grabbed a lead it wouldn't relinquish on Jarvis Threatt's layup with 3:49 to play that made the score 25-24. The Blue Hens' lead was 32-26 at the break.
Louis singlehandedly kept Penn afloat through the second part of the opening stanza. Penn scored 10 points in the final 10 minutes before halftime, and Louis had all of them. He had already accumulated a double-double by the break, and ended the game with a game-high 19 points as well as 11 rebounds.
After missing all of its trey attempts in the first half, it was probably inevitable that Delaware would work to get that part of its game going to start the second half. Sure enough, Devon Saddler hit back-to-back treys before the half was two minutes old, and just like that the Hens' lead was double digits, at 38-26. Penn never got the deficit back inside single digits after that.
Dougherty nearly had a double-double along with Louis, going for 18 points and nine rebounds. Patrick Lucas-Perry -- one of two players to come off the bench, along with Cameron Gunter -- had nine points on three three-pointers. For Delaware, which finished with a staggering 51 rebounds (24 on the offensive glass), Jamelle Hagins had 18 points and 13 rebounds while Threatt also scored 18 points. Saddler and Terrell Rogers had 12 points apiece.
Penn returns to action next Saturday, traveling to Wagner to face the Seahawks at 4 p.m.
Game Notes: Penn fell to Delaware for the second time this season, and now leads the series with the Blue Hens 18-6 ... Penn played the game without juniors Miles Cartwright and Steve Rennard, sophomore Henry Brooks, and freshmen Tony Hicks and Darien Nelson-Henry due to a violation of team rules ... As a result, only seven of the 12 players who were dressed saw action ... Penn went 8-of-10 at the foul line, its .800 percentage being a season high ... Delaware took 81 shots in the game and had 51 rebounds, both opponent highs in the Jerome Allen coaching era ... Sophomore Greg Louis had his first collegiate double-double with career highs in points (19) and rebounds (11); his previous highs were eight points and three boards...Louis led the team in points and rebounds for the first time in a game this season ... Junior Fran Dougherty scored 18 points, his best output since scoring 20 against Fordham on Nov. 19 ... It was Dougherty's team-leading seventh double-figure scoring game this season, and the 10th of his career ... Dougherty also had nine rebounds to finish one board shy of his fifth double-double this season ... Sophomore Patrick Lucas-Perry had nine points on a career-high three three-pointers, his best output since he scored 15 in the season opener against UMBC ... Sophomore Camryn Crocker set a career high with five assists ... Junior Dau Jok, who made his first collegiate start on Friday night, tied a career best with six rebounds and played a career-high 35 minutes (previous high 18).

Beautiful boat, dreadful service.: Queen Elizabeth Cruise Review by Howard Johnson
Overall Member Rating
Beautiful boat, dreadful service.
Destination: Canary Islands
Embarkation: Southampton
We found our cabin and went straight to the library having read the literature from More Cunard "do not bring your own books as our library is well stocked", unfortunately, the day you board is treated as a "port day" and the library opening hours are restricted. In addition the books are locked up [unlike Celebrity Eclipse] so you have to return only when the librarian is present and check out your two books with your sea pass.
Our cabin was nice and clean, the wardrobe space was excellent, however, this was at the expense of the bathroom which was very small. Our bathroom had a small shower with a horrible curtain that was liable to get over friendly, a small basin with nice luxury shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion together with one bar of soap for the shower and a smaller bar of soap for your face. In addition there was a jar of cotton wipes and a box of tissues, enough for all of my wife's requirements. Our steward was Allan who was first class. Our room was always made up by the time we returned from breakfast and nothing was to much trouble for him, always had a welcoming smile and a few words with you.
Due to illness on the previous cruise there was a red alert and for two days there was no serve yourself at the buffet, no cruets on the tables at dinner and no flowers on the table either. We supported the measures as no one wants to be ill, however, we were very surprised that the use of the hand gel was left voluntary and no member of staff was there to ensure that the gel was used. It was a pity that they didn't tell us what the problem was until the end of the second day of our cruise.
Our dining arrangements were Britannia Restaurant with first sitting, our table number 591 was for six and was on the first floor right at the stern with a picture window view, perfect. This was complimented by our four fellow cruisers who were absolutely great fun to be with. Our head waiter was Adam, he was very pleasant but was let down by the crew behind the scenes. Our food was well presented but mostly small portions [the only exceptions were the pork medallions and the ribs of beef]. All the fish portions were small and looked like tail ends etc. The vegetables were very small, two little potatoes, a couple of slivers of carrot, a small spoonful of spinach etc. Diet control at dinner was not a problem. The food is delivered piled high with plastic covers, unfortunately the food at best was warm, never hot and there was no ability to order extra vegetables.
The buffet restaurant "Lido" was very nicely laid out with elegant tables and chairs, however the buffet layout itself was not so good. You are supposed to enter at the far end and work your way along, this means you are waiting for the guests in front of you to make their choice whilst you wait. Sometimes you could go past them, sometimes not. This lead to jams and queues, the staff are mostly eastern European and can be a bit "hard" in their approach, they were not well trained and often allowed products to run out. The coffee machines were always running out and then there was 10-12 minutes whilst the machine brewed a fresh lot. Also you could only get hot milk at one out of three locations and again they failed to monitor this situation. The food choice was adequate but limited when compared to our other cruise on the Celebrity Eclipse.
The entertainment was disappointing. The shows only lasted for forty five minutes, our first show was not that long as we were given a talk about the ship and our last show comprised the comedian [who was very funny and clean!] but finished with a ten minute copy of one of the earlier shows. A lot of people just got up and left the theatre when this happened. The two guest speakers that were on board were very good and we could have had some more from them.
A lot of the pastimes were charged for [some Internet classes, Pilate's etc,you even had to buy your own bingo card if that was your pleasure]. The on board photographer would not take no for an answer and was on occasions intrusive, then a $24.95 charge was made for a simple photograph.
Our on board credit was wrongly explained to us by two people at the pursers desk and it was only at the end of our voyage did an Irish girl get it right for us and promised to get the other staff up to speed.
To summarise we felt that either the crew were short staffed or more likely they were inadequately trained and that the legendary levels of Cunard service were sadly missing. Our fellow guests had sailed on other Cunarders namely Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria and without fail they all agreed that these were far superior to the Queen Elizabeth. What Cunard has done to the crew on this ship we just do not know, as mentioned earlier the ship is beautiful it is the crew that at large needs to smile more and be more efficient at their jobs. In comparison to Celebrity Eclipse the Queen Elizabeth comes a distant second, the Eclipse has so many things that they do well. We would suggest that Cunard send some of their senior staff on Eclipse for a cruise to learn how things should be done.
Had this been our first cruise it might have well been our last, however, we know that there is far better out there and can only hope that Cunard will repair the situation on board Queen Elizabeth. Less

Survivor stories motivation for new Relay director
Byline info is not available
Kim Durst
November 18, 2013
In December 1998, Kim Durst's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. A year later, she and her mother were invited to one of the first Relay for Life events in Guthrie County to participate in the survivor celebration.
"It gave my mom this incredible feel that she had support from the community for what she was dealing with," said Durst, explaining that her father had died a year earlier. "We were just trying to absorb all of it. All the sudden she had a whole new support system."
Nearly 15 years later, Durst accepted a position as Relay for Life specialist for the western Iowa region encompassing Carroll, Cass, Adair, Audubon and Guthrie counties. She started working at the American Cancer Society office in Carroll on Oct. 28. Her duties include steering and guiding Relay for Life and coaches vs. cancer events throughout the five counties.
Durst said that she has already spoken to Carroll County co-chair Jon Heim and that his enthusiasm is contagious.
"(Heim) is so excited about (Relay)," she said. "It's fun to see that type of excitement. I think it will continue to grow."
Durst led her first team, Angels for Life, in 2000.
"It started in honor of my mom, then in honor of a friend of mine who had skin cancer, then in honor of my best friend's sister - everyone pretty much on our team had a survivor," she said. "We were excited to be a part of something we felt was so huge, not only supporting survivors, but raising money to find a cure."
Unfortunately, many on that team now participate in memory of those family members and friends, including Durst, whose mother died in 2003 when her breast cancer spread to her ovaries before metastasizing in her brain.
"She had a difficult five years," Durst said. "She's the one that totally inspires me to continue to push forward."
In 2006, Durst was asked to serve on the Guthrie County Relay for Life committee. She rounded up a few coworkers and attended the informational meeting to discover that only two other people were interested.
"We thought, 'What have we gotten ourselves into?' but of course we were excited because we had so many ideas," she said with a laugh.
After three months of planning, their 12-person committee raised about $19,000. Over the last seven years, the committee has grown to 30, the teams from 10 to 25, and the amount raised to more than $60,000.
"We were scared to death, but we moved forward and pressed ahead," she said.
In 2008, Durst received a volunteerism award for her work with Relay for Life. She also spent three years serving on the State Advisory Council with lawyers, doctors and other community members from across the state.
From a small farm in northwest Guthrie County, Durst and her husband Alex raise cattle, corn and soybeans. They have two daughters, Krissy, 22, and Karley, 19, both of whom have been involved in school pink-outs, as well as the Relay events. Her husband and a small contingent of men regularly help with setup and logistics on Relay days, a service Durst says the Relay couldn't do without.
Durst studied English at the University of Iowa before going to work in insurance and marketing. When the offer came for the American Cancer Society position, she "couldn't say no."
"I was ready for a change, and I felt that this was going to be a positive change," she said. "My heart was in it."
She said that she knows she has "big shoes to fill" replacing C.J. Niles, who worked in the position for about nine years.
Niles decided to retire from working full time. Starting in 2014, she plans to host workshops on community leadership for women, encouraging local women to take more roles in public and private offices and civic clubs.
Her greatest achievement as relay director was to "keep the train on the tracks," she said. Relay was already a big event in Carroll raising about $150,000 each year. Nearly a decade later, it has grown by more than $100,000, and for 10 years in a row the Carroll Relay raised the highest donations per-capita among counties in the 20,000-25,000 population category across the country.
Niles said that she will miss working with the individuals on the committees but still hopes to participate on a Relay team. She is confident Durst will do a great job "working with the volunteers to let them get the job done."
For her part, Durst hopes to "be able to create the excitement and continue to keep the fire of Relay going in finding that cure."
A self-described "people-person," Durst cites this social side of herself as her biggest strength. Her goals align accordingly. She hopes to not only work with the various committees, volunteers and survivors, but truly get to know them.
"I want to hear their stories, and if I don't have an answer, I want them to know I'll get an answer for them," she said. "I have a commitment to not just being there, but being a part of it."
One of her most important responsibilities is to get the word out about the programs available to help and support cancer patients, she said. These programs include Reach to Recovery, a program in which trained breast-cancer survivors give recently diagnosed patients and families a chance to talk and ask questions of someone who has been there; Road to Recovery, which helps provide rides to and from treatment centers; hope lodges, where patients and families can stay during treatment; Look Good ... Feel Better, which provides wigs, scarves and makeup tips for women who have lost their hair during treatment; and Navigator, a 24/7 hotline that assists patients find treatment and clinical trials, answers financial and insurance questions, find housing and transportation, or find support groups.
"I want to really pull survivors into events so they know they're not alone in their community and have a lot of support and a lot of people cheering for them in the community to keep them going," Durst said. "We're doing this so we can continue research and fund research to find a cure. Hopefully someday we won't have to hear the words 'you have cancer.'"
The American Cancer Society is hosting an open house for community members to meet Durst from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 21, at the organization's office, located on Highway 30 on the east end of Carroll. There will also be a short wrap-up program for last year's Relay, which raised $260,729.07.
"They really rocked it, " Durst said. "Carroll does an amazing job with their Relay. I'm excited to be a part of something so big."

QFest features story of brutal attack, forgiveness and the will to live in "Where I Am"
Robert Drake is a novelist and literary editor from Philadelphia who fell in love with an Irish doctor, and moved to Dublin to start a new life in a new country.
After two years, tragedy struck. While temporarily staying in the small town of Sligo on the western coast of Ireland, he was savagely beaten by two strangers in his own apartment.
He was in a coma for months, and suffered brain damage. Drake had to relearn how to talk, and to eat. He is now confined to a wheelchair and relies on assistance to do almost everything.
Drake does not know why he was attacked, but suspects it might be because he is gay. His attackers were apprehended, put on trial, and sentenced to eight years in jail. Neither of his attackers made any statements during the trial.
Sitting in a Center City coffee shop, Drake says as soon as he woke up in a Philadelphia hospital he forgave his attackers.
"That was the first thing I did when I regained consciousness, because I knew there was no moving forward if I did not forgive them," said Drake, a Quaker. Through his Quaker meeting, one of the attackers sent Drake an apologetic letter, leaving no way for Drake to return correspondence.
Reaching out to attackers
Drake is the subject of "Where I Am," a documentary by Pamela Drynan, screening on Friday as part of QFest, the annual Philadelphia gay and lesbian film festival. Drynan followed Drake as he returned to Ireland 12 years after the attack.
"He wanted to meet his attackers," said Drynan by telephone from her home in Dublin. "He wanted to talk to them about why this happened. He was happy to meet with them if they were prepared to do so."
But that didn't happen. The attackers did not want to meet Drake, and Drake was not particularly interested in revisiting Sligo. He was more interested in catching up with his friends in Dublin.
Drake was accompanied by a caretaker, Butch Cordora, a well-known figure in the Philadelphia gay community for his local TV show, "In Bed With Butch" and, more recently, a nude calendar project called "Straight and Butch."
"He's very cerebral and very smart, and I'm a gym boy," said Cordora. Although they are roughly the same age, active in the same gay community, and had known about one other, they could not be more different.
"Somebody told me that you used to watch my show once in a while," Cordora said to Drake.
"Somebody lied," Drake shot back, his slurred speech labored and deliberate.
Going back
With money from the Irish film board, the filmmakers funded the trip to Ireland and urged Drake to revist Sligo. He has no memory of the attack or its aftermath, and the detour through Sligo left him cold.
It was Cordora who wept while standing in front of the building where Drake was brutally attacked.
"You know how weird things trigger you," said Cordora. "I just lost it."
It was in Dublin that Drake broke down in tears, remembering the good times and people he knew there, and thinking about what could have been. The tears came so forcefully that the film crew wondered if they should seek medical assistance. The editor left only a taste of it in the film.
"The crying scene in the film actually went on for a while longer," said Drake. "It wasn't just 'boo hoo.' When I cry I really get into it."
Drake now lives in Philadelphia, where he is working on a memoir about his recovery. He says he has relearned to type, but only with one finger.
The film will be screened Friday at 7:15 p.m. and July 19 at 5:15 p.m. at The Ritz East 1.

Zoam Chomsky poo-poos the story, saying it's a newspaper creation: fraudulent reportage or a hoax.
If it is a hoaxed account, it's a delicious one, nicely done.
French skeptic Gilles Fernandez has provided much about the late 1800 airship stories, allowing that many were mistaken observations of the planet Venus, an interpretation that I find hard to take.
No matter what the truth is, the 1896 et al. reports, hoaxed or misinterpretations of Venus, or real, actual observations of something odd seen in the skies of America, fascinate, sociologically, psychologically, ufologically.
Should we dismiss the tales, because they are from a by-gone era?

Ace Hotel Online Shop: Deus Ex Machina - The House of Simple Pleasures
As much as I love layering clothing, I get an even bigger thrill from cleverly layered meanings. This book is perhaps the best example of such layering I have seen this year. "Deus ex machine" is a literary term, a reference to a former movement of motorcyclists and the name of a thriving custom bike business with outposts in Australia, Indonesia and (soon) Venice, California. This book captures this cycle-driven zeitgeist in text and color photography.

St. Louis -- Brown Shoe Company Inc. reported a net loss and declining net sales in first quarter 2013 as the company cited the impact of having exited some businesses in the past year.
The retailer experienced a net loss of $10.8 million, compared to net earnings of $1.7 million a year earlier. Net sales declined about 1% to $588.7 million from $598.2 million.
However, Brown Shoe said that taking $10.4 million in net sales from exited brands during the first quarter of last year into account, net sales actually slightly improved this year.
"We saw improved consumer conversion related to our strategic real estate, inventory and omni-channel efforts," said Diane Sullivan, president and CEO of Brown Shoe Company. "At wholesale, we refined our portfolio, with the recent sale of Avia and Nevados, and we intend to use the related proceeds in our 2013 debt reduction efforts."

Please visit our website: www.catscradleva.org for other adoption events and hours for showings or call the adoption center at 540-433-1135.
All our cats are spayed or neutered before adoption, and fully vetted. We have an adoption center in Harrisonburg, but we also make extensive use of foster homes until adoption.
We generally prefer indoor only homes, and our contract specifies that the cat(s) will not be de-clawed.
We have some cats that cannot be adopted into an indoor situation. For these, we seek safe barn or out-building locations.

This week felt like turning a corner. I can almost see the shabby coattails of the uninvited guest who's been hanging around for months, flapping in the spring breeze as she scurries down the sidewalk of my street, around the block and then far away.
I haven't told you this before, but for too many days this winter I've felt dreadful – I mean literally full of dread. We all go through stressful stuff sometimes that can be…well, draining. It's not an unfamiliar feeling, and most of the time things turn around sooner rather than later. You recover and pick yourself right up.
But for me, this time it went on for so many weeks which turned into months, that my body developed an imbalance.
I didn't believe it at first. I mean, I've been aware of nutrition, healthy cooking and lifestyle choices for almost half my life. But no matter how much fresh, whole, naturally vitamin-packed food I was feeding myself and all the yoga breathing I tried to stop my heart racing and bumping in my chest, stress hormones kept up in an endless cycle, leaching my reserves, tapping out all the good stuff I had in storage. Drained. And feeling like I might die.
I've always believed that food is the best delivery system for nutrients – better than a bunch of pills, supplements or protein shakes. Eating whole food is the optimal way to stay healthy, but sometimes we need a little help. Now that I've had a number of doctor visits, tests and vials of blood drawn that ruled out serious disease, I'm on my way back to myself again. I'm taking a few supplements to replenish what I'm missing, and finally feeling ready to start a new chapter. [Read more…]

Ilkley 38 Scarborough 10
Two weeks after securing the Yorkshire Division One title Ilkley lifted the Yorkshire Shield to complete an impressive double.
Scarborough, who were the only side to avoid defeat at Stacks Field this season when they drew 17-17, were expected to provide a stern test at Clifton Park, York, and for an hour the game was close fought.
The seasiders, who were without their captain, Phil Watson, battled hard to keep Ilkley at bay until the Dalemen's superior fitness and organisation told in the last quarter.
In this final period, Ilkley ran in three tries and moved the score from 17-10 to a final tally of 38-10.
It might be said that this score somewhat flattered Ilkley, but Scarborough did not help them-selves with some poor decision-making and crucially, losing left-wing Harry Dommet for ten minutes for a punch on J-H Johnson in the act of scoring on the hour.
Ilkley started the match briskly and when they won a penalty they opted to kick for touch. The line-out was won, the ball switched from right to left, but a knock-on halted their advance.
It proved to be a temporary reprieve for Scarborough. When their scrum buckled Josh kimber kicked the penalty to the corner. This time, Ilkley resorted to their tried and tested Plan A, a catch and drive giving Stewart Brewer his 30th try of the season, sweetly converted by Kimber.
The Seasiders responded with vigour and after stand-off Phil Stewart's drop-goal attempt sailed wide, Ilkley were penalised, giving full-back Tom Harrison the chance to reduce the deficit. The kick was pulled left though.
Another Scarborough assault was deemed to have been halted illegally and Harrison failed with his second attempt, the score remaining at 7-0.
Better luck followed though, when Brewer was given ten minutes in the sin bin and from the resulting catch and drive, Nino Cutino was on hand to touch down and Harrison's third attempt at goal was successful, levelling the scores. These were the first points Ilkley had conceded in the competition in what was their fourth match.
The action swung from end to end in the second quarter, though Ilkley's backs were looking sharper than the opposition's and a couple of good moves involving Paul Petchey, Alastair Monks and Stuart Vincent piled pressure on the Scarborough defence.
With Brewer back on, a fine passing movement allowed skipper Stuart Vincent a try on the right wing which Kimber was unable to convert.
Ilkley made a sloppy start to the second half when they made a hash of fielding the kick off and quickly conceded a penalty, duti-fully slotted by Harrison to bring the score to 12-10.
Some great defence by Scar-borough, notably by flankers Matty Oxtoby and Dale Night-ingale, kept Ilkley out, but within five minutes, another catch and drive saw prop Tom Baxter emerge from a pile of bodies to claim the try.
It was then Ilkley's turn to be under the cosh as Scarborough worked their socks off to break through Yorkshire One's meanest defence. Tom Ratcliffe came on and booted his side first to ten metres out, then to five, but a knock-on, seemingly in the act of scoring saved Ilkley.
This respite did not last long, as Steve Burns got a yellow card for infringing under the posts but Scarborough amazingly spurned the chance of three points and went for a tap and run. The ball was eventually passed into touch and the chance was lost. This episode seemed to be the turning point in the match.
Centre Steve Nolson made a great break from defence and it was not long before Ilkley's growing superiority told and from a maul, the ball was flashed out by Ryan Cooper reaching Johnson, who bulldozed his way over in the corner. Kimber's conversion made it 24-10 and each side was now down to 14 men as Harry Domett was carded for a punch.
Then after a five-metre scrum was well-controlled by Ilkley, Cooper saw his chance and darted over on the left, Kimber adding the extras two points to put the game beyond a tiring Scarborough.
With Burns back on, coach Rhys Morgan used up all his available substitutes to give them a taste of the action and with two minutes to go, Cooper strolled over for his second try after a rock-solid scrum. Kimber's conversion completed the scoring at 38-10 and the game petered out.
This was a marvellous advertisement for amateur Rugby Union, which was enjoyed by the many supporters who had travelled from the Dales and the East Coast. The Scarborough team was most gracious in defeat and their supporters too, acknowl-edged that on this occasion, they had lost to the better side.
So, a long, successful season which has witnessed the rebirth of Ilkley as a force to be reckoned with, is over, The double success is a rewarded for the dedication of the players, coaching staff and committee.
Ilkley must now consider how to strengthen their squad and cope with the possible retirement or relocation of one or two players while their supporters must get used to travelling on the A1 to strange and exotic places as the Dalesmen take their place in North One East – after celebrating the double of course!

MIAMI - A southwest Florida dermatologist has agreed to pay $26.1 million to settle Medicare fraud allegations.
The U.S. Justice Department announced Dr. Steven J. Wasserman's settlement Monday.
Officials say Wasserman entered into an illegal kickback arrangement in or around 1997 with Tampa Pathology Laboratory and its owner, Dr. Jose Suarez Hoyos, in an effort to increase the lab's referral business. Wasserman was also accused of performing thousands of unnecessary skin surgeries known as adjacent tissue transfers on Medicare beneficiaries in order to obtain the reimbursement for them, not because they were medically necessary.
Dr. Alan Freedman, a former Tampa Pathology Laboratory who brought forth the initial allegations, will receive about $4 million of the settlement.
Officials previously settled with SuarezHoyos and Tampa Pathology Laboratory for $950,000.

A MAN is fighting for his life in hospital after being engulfed in flames.
Dorset Police, the ambulance service and Dorset Fire and Rescue were called to Bowleaze Coveway at 7.15am on Friday after a man was discovered on the grass area close to the Lookout Café.
It is believed the man, who has not been named, drove to area early in the morning.
A South West Ambulance Trust spokesman said the service received reports of a man suffering burns over his entire body.
A police spokesperson said: "Officers attended the scene and found a man with burn injuries.
"He was taken to Dorset County Hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries by the ambulance service.
"There are no suspicious circumstances."
A spokesman said the man continued to be treated in hospital today (Saturday).
Dorset Police said that a black Citroen C2 registered to the man was recovered at the scene, from the bottom of a slight slope.
When police and ambulance services arrived at the scene they said they found the man on the ground outside the car.
Tyre tracks and burnt debris could also be seen on the grass nearby.
A spokesman for the police said: "It's not believed he sustained his injuries from a road traffic collision."
Karen Messenger and Lucy Mitchell from the Lookout Café told of their shock after seeing Dorset police recover a vehicle from the grass nearby.
Karen added: "There was a police car here when I arrived at the cafe about 9.30am.
"My boss heard that a black car went over the edge of the slope nearby."
Lucy said: "At about 10.30am a crowd of people were gathered by the grass outside; customers here have been so shocked by what has happened."
A Bowleaze Coveway resident, who did not wish to be named, said he saw a flurry of ambulances, police cars and a fire engine rush past about 7.30am – and was shocked to hear that a man had been discovered with severe burns.
Resident Josephine Powell added: "Things like this never happen around here so I'm so surprised."
Tannis Summerscales from Pogles Wood Florists on Preston Road added that she arrived at the shop at 8am, and said the incident was 'incredibly out of the ordinary' for the area.

Human rights complaint over Earls' "Albino Rhino" brand moves forward
The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has decided to hear a complaint against Earls Restaurants over the "albino" branding of some of its menu items.
Ikponwosa Ero, who has albinism, filed a human-rights complaint over the restaurant chain's marketing of its exclusive "Albino Rhino" beer brand and promotion of "Albino Wing Wednesdays".
Ero alleges the use of the term "albino" by the restaurant is demeaning and humiliating. She argues people with albinism have a distinct physical appearance that has often made them the subject of ridicule.
Earls has denied it discriminated, arguing the branding was intended to be whimsical and only a reference to albinism in rhinoceroses, not human beings. The restaurant chain also says the word "albino" was picked because it rhymes with "rhino".
Earls sought to have the compliant dismissed. However, in a ruling issued today (December 14), tribunal member Marlene Tyshynski determined the case deserves to go to hearing.
"In my view, one could reasonably conclude that there is a relationship between discriminatory product marketing due to the use of the term 'Albino' and differential and demeaning treatment of persons with albinism, if, of course, this is proven," Tyshynski said in the written decision. "On its face, the complainants make an allegation that, if proven, could amount to a contravention of the [Human Rights] Code."
Albinism is a genetic condition in which a person's body has difficulty producing melanin, resulting in a lack of skin and hair pigment. The condition is also associated with vision problems.

these "Human Rights Commissions" are a joke.
given past complaints, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if this was taken seriously and proceeded further. guess they need to justify their existence.

Why should it not be taken seriously?
Naming a Beer after a medical conditon that one has is OK with you? Maybe so for you but not so for the person with that condition, that's why we have Human Rights Commisions, to protect people from others who are Insensitive.

Good on her. Looks like she does good work via her non-profit http://www.underthesamesun.com.
However, I hope this case demonstrates to her what a non-issue albinism is in Canada.
I think she is coming at this issue from the perspective she has observed in other countries. See this article:
Obviously Canada isn't even on the same scale as some of those countries mentioned. Sure, there could be taunting and bullying at the school age level (as with anything that set one apart from others), but certainly not into adulthood.
Next up: Fat Burger. How do all the poor fatties feel about that name?
Dec 14, 2012 at 11:25pm
Of course this is offensive to people with albinism, regardless of its association with the word "rhino". Only a person with albinism can determine how offensive this issue is, the rest of are not qualified to make the call.
Would you be offended by "amputee coffee" the coffee with less ? Or the "blindman's bird seed" or some other association ?

I agree there may well be some idiot people out there who would comment adversely or bully Albino people , but for the vast vast majority (including me) this is a non issue.
Dec 15, 2012 at 11:49am
I don't think that the issue here is whether she is offended, or whether she should be offended. The issue here is whether a judicial body should have power over people who have offended other people.
I don't think we should be summoning people to a judicial body to evaluate the depth of their feelings. I don't like the fact that people use offensive terms, but I worry more about protecting freedom of speech. Some offence taken is the price we pay for free speech.
Think about it
Dec 15, 2012 at 11:51am
Really?! You are offended by the name of a beer on a restaurant menu? It is calling to light a genetic condition, but not degrading it. Honestly, why should you be offended? -unless the Medical condition itself is offensive, which it's not. It really isn't being used in any derogatory way. There are many foods named after medical conditions, Heart attack burger etc. Shall we ban those too? Hey while we are banning ridiculous things- Let's take this to it's farthest level? No more Blonde Beers? Being blonde is just as genetic as Albinism, and I can think of way more blonde jokes than Albino jokes. Should Africans be offended by "Dark" Beers? Should white people be offended by white wines? How about the French being offended by French Fries? Frankly I think it's a compliment to Albinos everywhere. A waste of taxpayers dollars to let this kangaroo court go on any longer. (Apologies to all the offended Kangaroos out there)
Dec 15, 2012 at 12:14pm
I'm waiting to see how this pans out. For years I've been personally offended by the "Fat Bastard" wine label.

Ikponwosa Ero: It's about having a little fun with the name of the beer and nothing about people. Don't you get it? I bet you are just trying to make a name for yourself, right? Be careful here, you may not like the resulting publicity!

Special Advisor
About the Kirkland & Ellis Corporate Lab
Founded in 2009, the Kirkland & Ellis Corporate Lab aims to provide students with "real-world" experience and context, to prepare them to become well-rounded legal practitioners with sound legal and business judgment, and to afford them with opportunities to work on cutting-edge projects with multinational companies. By working on actual projects and through classroom instruction, students in the Kirkland & Ellis Corporate Lab learn practical legal and business skills and knowledge.
Outside of the classroom, the Kirkland & Ellis Corporate Lab hosts an ongoing speaker series throughout the academic year, bringing to campus experienced practitioners, business leaders, and other esteemed guests to discuss topical business-and-law issues, the practical aspects of particular substantive areas of law, and other topics of interest to the speakers and students.
Following the completion of the academic year, the Lab hosts its Transactional Challenge for rising second-year law students to provide exposure to transactional practice. The Challenge allows students to compete against each other in a series of "real world" transactional corporate exercises. The top participants are recognized for their accomplishments, and have an opportunity to network with senior in-house counsel and law firm partners, during a post-competition reception in the fall.
The Lab also convenes periodic conferences and symposia, joining outside experts from Corporate America, the Bar, the federal government, the judiciary, and the academy to address in true multidisciplinary manner numerous business and legal issues of the day—e.g., FCPA compliance, and corporate social responsibility.
The Kirkland & Ellis Corporate Lab has attracted the participation of some of the Law School's finest talent—those students at the top of their class soon to become associates at top law firms, clerks for judges at the federal appellate level, and future leaders of major corporations—and the legal departments at some of the world's premier companies.
The Kirkland & Ellis Corporate Lab has partnered with many companies, including:
- Accenture
- Allstate
- Amazon.com
- Baxter Healthcare
- Blue Haven Initiative (a Pritzker family NGO)

Brent oil fell for a second day in London, paring a weekly gain, as a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas eased concern that tension in the Middle East will disrupt the region's crude supplies.
Futures slid as much as 0.3 per cent, matching yesterday's decline. The cease-fire crafted by Egypt and the US halted eight days of aerial assaults that ravaged the Gaza Strip and made Tel Aviv a missile target. West Texas Intermediate futures have dropped in New York since the Nov. 21 accord. There was no floor trading in the US yesterday because of the Thanksgiving holiday, and electronic transactions will be booked with today's trades for settlement purposes.
Brent oil for January settlement fell as much 38 cents to $US110.17 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange and was at $US110.24 at 10:04 a.m. Singapore time. Prices slipped 31 cents to $US110.55 yesterday. Futures are up 1.2 per cent this week and 2.7 per cent this year. The European benchmark grade traded at a premium of $US23.32 to its US counterpart.
WTI for January delivery was at $US86.92 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, down 0.5 per cent from the Nov. 21 close. The contract has gained 0.3 per cent this week and dropped 12 per cent this year.
Brent in London has technical resistance along its 200-day moving average, around $US111.68 a barrel today, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Futures have halted advances below this indicator twice so far this month. Sell orders tend to be clustered near chart-resistance levels.
New York crude futures may decline next week after the tension eased in the Middle East, a Bloomberg survey showed. Twelve of 27 analysts and traders, or 44 per cent, forecast prices will decrease through Nov. 30. Nine respondents, or 33 per cent, predicted a gain. Six forecast little change.

Topic: Healing
To those of you who have been following my journey, this will make sense. Others may find this somewhere between mystic and creepy. Now might be a good time to exit.
My outlook has been a mixture of humor, analytical, dark, spiritual, and a suspected fifth part that I can't explain - it is obscurred, rarely seen, but there.
I wrote this using pen and paper at a campground in the Adirondacks. Tenting, cooking over a fire, and the finest outhouse in miles. Water but no electricity. That is part of the healing. Poplar Point is on Piseco Lake. Aimee and I started camping here in 1982. Her family brought her as an infant in the late 1950's. We have a history. Last time we were here was a year before CCA. Aimee brought up coming here this year. I had chosen not be bring it up. Not sure if this would be tainted by "what could have been". Thank goodness I listened to her. She refuses to see anything but the best outcome in anything. Talk about an optimist! So I came to grips with memories, past and future. But we know we can't change the past so let it go. And the future is what we make it. We have to find ways to make it the best we can. And that is the big lightbulb that finally lit for me (and the purpose of this post). I have a future! It's not the same one I had in mind 14 months ago. But, I HAVE A FUTURE! I know, capitalizing words in a email is like shouting. But that's how I feel about this - shouting it out loud.
My son Chris went to Space Camp in Alabama when he was in fourth grade. One of their mantras was: "If it is to be, it is up to me." "With a little help from my friends" and my medical team I will make it so. God is going to let me live as long as I need to, same as everyone else. Maybe even as long as I want to. No pre-stamped expiration date - still marked "TBD".
None of this is earth shattering. But it is a major break through for me and I wanted to share it with you. Those of you who already know this are thinking (I hope) "Well done Little Grasshopper." (Kung Fu - David Carridine) Others I hope will find this moment yourselves in your own time.
The past has passed.
