ATLANTA — A lack of efficiency in the backcourt created a domino effect of poor execution for New Orleans as the Pelicans fell to the Hawks 100-91 on Friday.
The Hawks' tandem of Jeff Teague and Kyle Korver outshined New Orleans' duo of Jrue Holiday and Austin Rivers to pace the hosts to victory. Teague dropped a game-high 26 points on 10-of-16 shooting with seven assists and Korver followed up with 11. Holiday played well, scoring 20 points. However, Rivers had a rough outing, going scoreless on 0-for-8 shooting from the floor.
"It was a bad night for me. I had good looks. I'm angry. You want to have a better output, but I can't get it back," Rivers said. "We play Washington in less than 24 hours. I can either dwell about it and go out and do the same thing tomorrow, or go out there and play hard. That's what good players do. That's what professionals do."
New Orleans shot a woeful 40 percent. The offense lacked fluidity and cohesion on multiple possessions. The team's off-target shooting and inability to keep pace on defense created too many obstacles to overcome.
"We missed a ton of shots. In the first quarter, I thought we had good looks," coach Monty Williams said. "Guys just missed shots. I didn't think we ran the offense tonight. I thought we were just existing on offense. Then we started to get it back in the second half, but the last group didn't stop anybody. For whatever reason, we've hit a bit of a bump here. We have to work our way through it."
Anthony Davis was par for the course with yet another double-double on the stat sheet. His night included 14 points with 11 rebounds. However, this was a huge drop-off from his normal output of 25.4 points per game.
"It's tough when you're not making shots. It's still early in the season and we'll get it right," Davis said.
Atlanta's defensive strategy to clog the paint was pivotal in securing the win. The Hawks dropped back in coverage like a nickel formation in football to keep the lengthy Davis from freely posting up and scoring with ease.
Normally, this type of defensive strategy leads to open shots around the wing and at the top of the key. However, New Orleans' shooters had an off night and were unable to offset the Hawks' alignment.
Although the score never really got out of hand, except for one instance when the Hawks went up by 16, Atlanta dominated the game from beginning to end. The Pelicans managed to close within 10 points at different junctures, but were never able to string together a solid run to either tie things up or take the lead.
"Every time we cut the lead to eight or 10, they'd come down and get an and-one or make a three. We'd make a shot, and then they'd make another big play," said Davis. "My hat's off to them. Atlanta's a good team and they did a great job of execution and moving the ball."

Calcutta: For the first time since his (second) surgery on the left upper thigh, Sourav Ganguly had VIP visitors at the city clinic where he has been admitted since Saturday morning. Chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, along with Asok Bhattacharya, dropped in to meet the regular India captain this evening. So did BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya, who spent half an hour with the skipper.
Bhattacharjee and the minister for urban development spent about ten minutes with Sourav. I told him we are all praying for a speedy recovery so that he can get back on the field soon, the CM said before leaving the clinic.
The doctors supervising Souravs post-operative treatment seem to be in no hurry to issue a discharge certificate. According to a bulletin signed by all four on the medical panel, Sourav needs two weeks of regular dressing.
Considering the size and magnitude of the wound, he needs at least two weeks of regular dressing, the doctors said.
It was learnt the panel feels Sourav should stay at the clinic for at least this entire week so that the dressing could be done in a sterile environment. The doctors are not in favour of their patient going home soon and driving down to the clinic to get the dressing done daily.

IE Script Error - version 9.0.8xxxxAsked by guest_23484087619059 on December 14, 2012 at 10:37 AM
Hi, I have been contacted by a couple of people letting me know that there is a script error that appears in IE version 9.0.8xxx on one of the websites that I administer, specifically on this page: http://www.farmtotable.colostate.edu/eat.php
I am unable to duplicate the error, but I have posted a screenshot of the error here for you to see:
What's interesting is that it states that the error is on line 548, but even when I view the source code through the browser, the last line in the file is 416.
Anyway, the error message is directly related to the JotForm code. I wanted to make you aware of this and see if you might be able to provide a solution for me.
Thank you!

New York Retailers to Face "Stings"
Partnership between police and health department targets retailers selling cigarettes to minors.
BUFFALO -- The Town of Tonawanda Police Department has entered for the fifth consecutive year into an agreement with the Erie County Health Department to reduce illegal tobacco sales to buyers younger than 18.
Under the program, underage decoys supervised by police officers will visit each of the tobacco product dealers in town, said Police Chief Samuel Palmiere. The decoys will try to buy cigarettes, and in any instance where an illegal sale is made, the police officer will inform the vendor and refer the case to the Erie County Department of Health for administrative action. Decoys will be 16 or younger and will not use any false identification or engage in any deceit to make the purchase, Palmiere said. If asked their ages, they will respond truthfully, he told the Buffalo News.
Fines for initial violations are as much as $1,000. Subsequent violations can result in fines of up to $1,500 and the suspension or revocation of the ability to sell tobacco and lottery tickets, officials said.
In addition to penalties imposed on the store owner, the actual person who sells the tobacco to a minor will be subject to arrest.

South West MEP On Holidays After Brexit
Green MEP advises holidays makers of their rights post-brexit
Workers at the Gaymer Cider Company in Shepton Mallett are celebrating after they agreed to a three per cent pay offer.
More than 100 production workers at the Kilver Street site, who were taking part in an industrial action ballot in the dispute, have accepted the offer by management of a three per cent pay rise for 2012-13.
Unite regional officer Hugh Kirkbride said:
"The company has put the three per cent offer back on the table and the three shifts at the site have now voted to accept this offer.
The threat of industrial action forced the company to put the three per cent offer back on the table and also to withdraw any pre-conditions about future negotiations over pay. It has been a victory for worker solidarity.
The company now wants to start negotiations about changes in production and working patterns. It has been agreed that the conciliation service, ACAS will be involved in these talks from the start and that key decision makers in the company will be around the table.
The union goes into these negotiations with our heads held high - and we wish to engage in these talks in a constructive and positive manner."
Gaymer Cider is owned by the C&C Group plc and is the second largest cider maker in the world. The site's brands include Gaymers Original, Olde English and Blackthorn.
Deb Kennedy, Head of Manufacturing and Technical, C&C Group, said:
"We are clearly very pleased that common sense has won the day and that the possibility of industrial action at Shepton Mallet Cider Mill has been averted.
Our proposed original unconditional 3% pay increase for 2012 and 0% for 2013 was exceptional in the current economic climate and we look forward to working with UNITE and its members here towards achieving a satisfactory negotiated settlement on 2014 pay, conditions, working practices and training that will position our staff well to support the ambitions we share for the Shepton Mallet site."

I figured I'd do this roundup on a weekly basis instead of the bi-monthly thingy. The first one was just pretty fun to do so I want to keep doing more until I ran out of stuff to write about. With anime though, that'd be pretty impossible. Anyways, this is the Anime Roundup where I combine a lot of my blog ideas into one big blog. I also featured some anime blogs from the community. Not a lot of people blog anime so I think can feature them here.
I've been watching a lot of anime ever since I can read fast subtitles so it's become part of my everyday schedule. If I don't watch at least one episode of anime a day, I get the jitters and I feel restless. It's a new year for anime because the 2013 lineup is out so that'll be pretty awesome. I'll post some of my reviews here so people know some of the hard hitters of the year. For now, let me talk about some of the hard hitters of 2012.
In this section, I'll feature some anime that is Karuhi approved. I've seen it and I've liked it. They're solid anime that will appeal to a lot of people. Anime in this section are guaranteed enjoyable and pretty awesome.
Karuhi approves of : Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shita! (Love, Chuunibyou, and other Delusions)
This is an anime made by KyoAni. That in itself is one of the reasons this anime is solid. The studio has always delivered pretty awesome anime and all of their release is received with a lot of fanfare. Their combination of captivating stories and high quality animation garnered them a large fanbase.
This anime is about a group of weird people doing weird things in a club. It features characters who act in a different persona influenced by video games or anime. It's a syndrome called Chuunibyou or "Eight Grade Syndrome". Basically, the syndrome is described as those people who act like their favorite characters. Ever seen two dudes play with sticks as if they're light sabers? Ever seen a dude speak or talk like Solid Snake? Ever seen a guy act like a f*cking ninja? Well, that person is suffering from the Eight Grade Syndrome.
The story is about a guy who has recently recovered from his delusions soon met a girl suffering from one. He has a soft spot for the girl because he has lived through the syndrome. The two characters grow close and they soon start a club with a bunch of weird people as well. You'll be laughing hard at some of the weird things in the anime and the character interaction is pretty solid.
Let this GIF convince you:
It does get serious at the end and I know for a fact that people have mixed reception on that part. The comedy aspects are pretty strong though and the blossoming romance between the characters is lovely to watch.
Let another GIF convince you:
This is 100% Karuhi approved and I promise you won't regret picking up this anime. Stare at the GIFs because it pretty much captured the crazy nature of the anime. The comedy, fluid animation and memorable characters all combine into on awesome anime experience.
These are blogs that different myIGN users posted. I'll try to feature recent ones so if you ever posted an anime blog this week then post the link in the comments below and it'll appear in the next Anime Roundup.
Koutura-san by LtColInsane. This is a blog about a newly airing anime from 2013. It's a rather unique anime and the blog is full of screenshots to feature the fan service.
Cat(girl)urday: Amazing PJ by foxrevolution. This dude is one of the resident anime bloggers of myIGN and he has dedicated his life to cat girls. He loves them so much that he declared Saturday to be Catgurlday. This is a long running blog from this awesome dude.
Cat(girl)urday: A Better Mouse Trap by foxrevolution
Chaos Blogg 28 by ChaosMetroid. See this awesome guy's thoughts on Sword Art Online and Animal Crossing the Movie.
Top Ten Anime I Watched This Year by ChaosMetroid. The dude ranked his favorites anime that he saw last year. A solid list so check out those anime you probably missed.
If you made an anime blog this week or just recently then send it my way and I'll put it here. Any anime blog is welcome, especially the super perverted ones and everything else in between. :)
This section is about certain anime that was heavily hyped or most talked about by the anime community. They easily stand out because a lot of people either praise it or slander it relentlessly. I am pretty impartial (or I try to be) so let the tentacle monster decide if the anime is certainly good or if the hyped is undeserved.
Karuhi judges: K project
K is an original anime from a pretty unknown studio. This was their breakout anime and it was heavily promoted. Here in the Philippines, Animax hyped the anime to oblivion and even doing a match airing from Japan. If you look at the PVs and the promo campaign of the anime, the first thing that'll strike you is the visuals. It's beautiful and very inviting. It easily hooked some curious otaku into trying the product. Is the product good though?
The Good: Bad ass characters that truly stood out in more way than one. They demanded your attention and despite the lack of proper development, they'll easily stick to your mind. They just ooze awesomeness.
The animation is certainly the best aspect of the anime. It's fluid and visually pleasing. The nice use of effects, CG and digital rendering really made the anime look super surreal. The fight scenes are also very bad ass. Epic upon epic and combined with the character's awesomeness, it's a surely effective formula. K is a visually appealing anime.
The Bad: Sadly though, the storytelling is a bit confusing. The characters are introduced sloppily, the overall story isn't paced properly and it often shifts focus on unrelated matter that can easily confuse viewers. It has a lot of side stories that muddled the main story of the anime. Even with the shocking twist and the awesome surprise, the anime couldn't save the story.
This is a matter of marathon vs. weekly viewing. The initial audience saw it on a weekly basis and the anime had a lot of flaws at the beginning that soured the experience. I marathon the anime and I was able to recover from the subpar episodes. There is a beautiful potential in the anime but it was covered with weak elements that ruins the overall appeal of the anime.
The Verdict: Potential could never save an anime. The hype certainly damaged the anime and it couldn't recover with its inconsistent pacing and muddled story. The characters are all pretty awesome though. Take a look for yourself. In the meantime though, I'd give the anime 2 out of five tentacle monsters.
These are superpowers that were seen in an anime. There are a lot of pretty unique powers found in anime so I'll try to focus them all in this segment. I'll try to feature those uncommon ones as well and avoid powers seen in popular anime like Bleach or DBZ.
Weighted Words
Gunki Itoshima is this menacing guy from the anime Medaka Box Abnormal. He has a massive superiority complex and the thinks of himself as king of the world. His arrogance is met with retaliation but you can't really hit a guy that can make you kneel in front of him when he shouts "kneel".
Weighted Words is the power to order people around. Gunki uses brain waves and activates certain parts of an individual's brain function to order them around. This near invincible super power makes him a very formidable foe.
This has a weakness though. It's affected by distance. There's a certain range that the brain waves can't reach so you can only order people who are close to you. Of course, if your mouth can't form words then you can't use this power as well. It's pretty convenient though.
If you have weighted words, what order would you give and who would you order around?
Thirty Minutes or Less
This section is about some pretty unique anime. They're short anime that run for less than thirty minutes. There is a lot of anime like this and they often go unnoticed because they're often plain looking or they're overshadowed by other anime. I dig through a lot of anime so let me show you some anime that I think were solid and they're pretty short. They'll probably be in youtube or something. It's convenient.
Short Feature of the Week is: Teekyu!!
It's a tennis anime about a bunch of cute girls doing cute stuff. There are some perverted scenes as well and the anime thrives in random. The beautiful part about the anime though is that it only runs for two minutes.
This anime is dubbed as the "fastest anime ever" and it's pretty accurate. The dialogue is superfast as if it's in fast forward and the characters look like they're injected with caffeine going in a massive sugar rush. I was in awe when I first saw it and I couldn't tell what I just saw. It's a bit hard to watch but that is the main appeal of the anime.
Its super short so give it a try. Be prepared though because this anime is not for the faint of heart.
Masako Nozawa voiced Son Goku in all versions of Dragon Ball. She has voiced the iconic character for almost twenty six years.
Dragon Ball (1986)
Dragon Ball Kai (2011)
And that's that.
1. I'm still thinking of ideas for the Top 100 thingy. The anime moment, I realized yesterday, has already been done. Any suggestion is appreciated.
2. If you have any anime blog you want to appear here, just post in the comments below.
Lastly, check my site out. Thank you. See ya next week.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Cigna Corp (CI) were climbing, higher by 0.33% to $163.18 on heavy volume in afternoon trading Tuesday, after analysts at Leerink raised their price target to $175 from $160 this morning.
The firm upped its target, saying it believes a takeover by Anthem (ANTM) is likely.
Analysts at the firm said the deal value may be increased to $190 per share for Cigna.
Leerink maintained its "outperform" rating.
About 3.32 million shares of Cigna have exchanged hands as of 12:43 p.m. ET today, compared to its average daily volume of about 2.85 million shares a day.
Bloomfield, Conn.-based Cigna is a health services company that offers medical, dental, disability, life and accident insurance and related products and services.
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates CIGNA CORP as a Buy with a ratings score of A+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate CIGNA CORP (CI) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity, good cash flow from operations and solid stock price performance. We feel its strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:

Václav Smil is a Czech-Canadian scientist and policy analyst.[1] He is Distinguished Professor Emeritus[2] in the Faculty of Environment at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada. His interdisciplinary research interests encompass a broad area of energy, environmental, food, population, economic, historical and public policy studies, and he had also applied these approaches to energy, food and environmental affairs of China. His name pronounced as "vah:tslahf" and "smeel".
He was born during WWII in Plzeň, at that time in the German Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (present-day Czech Republic). He completed his graduate studies at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Charles University in Prague and at the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences of the Pennsylvania State University. Following the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, he emigrated first to the USA in 1969 and eventually to Canada in 1972.[3]
He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (Science Academy)[4] and the recipient of the American Association for the Advancement of Science Award for Public Understanding of Science and Technology in 2000.[5] He has been an invited speaker in more than 300 conferences and workshops in the USA, Canada, Europe, Asia and Africa, has lectured at many universities in North America, Europe and East Asia and has worked as a consultant for many US, European Union and international institutions. His wife Eva is a physician and his son David is an organic synthetic chemist.
When asked about Thomas Friedman's influential globalization book The World Is Flat, which argues that the economic playing field is being leveled in the 21st century, Smil replied:
The surface may seem to be getting flatter (the same brands, cars, e-gadgets, the world of Sony, Toyota and LG, are encountered from Seoul to Soweto). But underneath, the differences (economic but also cultural and, most distressingly, the religious ones) are actually getting greater. This is not only in People's Republic of China and India (where the proverbial tide lifts all boats, but those of the new urban class float now relatively lot higher than decades ago) but for the past generation even in the U.S. and Canada, where inequality is increasing. Think of nearly 50 million Americans living on food stamps: hard to believe how Friedman could get it so wrong.[6][7]
In 2010, he was named by Foreign Policy magazine to its list of FP Top 100 Global Thinkers.[8] In 2013 he was appointed by the Governor General to the Order of Canada.[9] He reads 80 books a year but does not have a cell phone. Included among Smil's admirers is Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates,[10] who has read all of Smil's 36 books.[11]
In the fall of 2013, he was the EADS Distinguished Visitor at the American Academy in Berlin.

Ever since I was 15 years old when I read my first novel cover to cover, Arcade by Robert Maxxe, I've been keeping a book list in which I record every book I read, the date I finished it, whether it was a paper back or hardback, how many pages it had and my rating out of ten.
I thought you may be interested in what I had to write about Dead Man's Grip…
Hard Back (HB) 406 pages, 10/10
It's been a while since I've read a Roy Grace/Peter James book. I had been reading his Perfect People novel and though 388 pages in, I put it aside to read Dead Man's Grip which I conveniently came across in a charity shop.
I would say this is his best Roy Grace story I've read, but won't only because Peter James always writes brilliant Roy Grace stories, but I must mention that this book got me pacing the room, screaming out in shock, thumping the book in excitement and dancing about the room like the lunatic I really am.
The twists and turns will stay with me until I'm old and senile.
Peter James at his sizzling best. The last chapter--- WOW! Now I wasn't expecting that!
The good news is that I've got Dead Man's Time waiting patiently to be read, which was again conveniently picked up at a charity shop for a fraction of the cover price.
Having already read the first four chapters, I just know I'm in store for another roller coaster adventure!
Thanks Peter, as always your fan…

No. As I recall, Tomcat will not create a session automatically unless it's absolutely necessary (e.g., tracking authenticated users) or the application requests it. I'm not aware of any config parameter that will force creation of sessions for all clients, but all you should have to do is put the following somewhere in the request processing path of each servlet: request.getSession(true); This doesn't need to go into your servlet or JSP code - you can write a simple filter class that does nothing but run the above code to force the creation of a session if one doesn't already exist. The filter mapping can go into conf/web.xml so it will apply to all apps deployed within your Tomcat instance, or in each appropriate webapp's web.xml file. Note that per the servlet spec, Tomcat will use cookies not URL rewriting for session tracking; it will fall back to URL rewriting if the client refuses cookies. You can also disable use of cookies by setting cookies="false" in your <Context> elements (or the global conf/context.xml file). - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Performances at 10AM, 1PM, and 4PM. Activities will begin after the 11AM performance and continue throughout the day excepting performance times. The theatre and all activities will close at 5:30PM.
About "Peter and the Wolf"
Inspired by the playful, beloved work composed by Sergei Prokofiev to introduce children to classical music, Peter and the Wolf explores a story of friendship and extraordinary bravery. Adapted by Cleveland-based playwright Greg Vovos and directed by TCT's Director of Education Katelyn Cornelius, this 30-minute adventure is a perfect illustration of imaginative teamwork, and how to use creative thinking to overcome a bad situation. A child of Peter's age can do plenty! Along the way, there is laughter, song, and audience interaction!
Crafts and Activities
Between performances, families are invited to stay and play with TCT and The Children's Museum of Cleveland. Children of all ages can enjoy making crafts on theme with the performance while The Children's Museum of Cleveland engages children in exciting science-based activities. Activities will not be available during the 30-minute performances at 11AM, 1PM, and 4PM.

TCT Founder and Executive Artistic Director Alison Garrigan Receives 2016 Creative Workforce Fellowship
TCT Founder and Executive Artistic Director, Alison Garrigan, has been chosen to receive a 2016 Creative Workforce Fellowship grant. The grant, awarded to 40 artists in Cuyahoga County in the disciplines of craft, dance, design, literature, media arts, music, theatre and visual arts each receive $15,000 in 2016 through the Creative Workforce Fellowship. The Fellowships are awarded by the Community Partnership for Arts and Culture (CPAC), the local arts service and research organization that operates the program. The organization's board of trustees approved the awards, which are made possible by the residents of Cuyahoga County through Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, the County's public funder for arts and culture.
CPAC's president and CEO, Tom Schorgl says, "These Creative Workforce Fellows are providing new opportunities for residents and visitors alike to engage with a wide array of art forms. Their work is contributing to youth education and a heightened awareness of our environment, community and place. The work these artists make is intelligent, playful, striking and skillful. CPAC is fortunate to be able to support this talented group of individuals through a grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture."
More than 400 artists submitted applications for Fellowships, which were reviewed anonymously in two groups, based upon discipline. The two panels were comprised of professional artists from across the United States based on recommendations from CPAC & CAC's national peers. The top 40 applications in each review group were discussed in open panel meetings in November. The top 20 scoring applications in each group—a total of 40 artists—were recommended for Fellowships.
The grants are designed to further each artist's work and to connect them more broadly and deeply with the community. Each artist will hold a public activity in 2016 to engage directly with residents and showcase their work. Starting in 2016, visit www.CultureForward.org/fellowship to learn more.
Ms. Garrigan will use her Fellowship year to grow and expand on her devised and unique approach to theatre arts for children. To do so, she will be traveling around the country, visiting and observing other children's theatres with ground-breaking programs, learning from them, and sharing her own vision on the subject. She will also be doing a series of workshops to impart the unique style of devised theatre that she has created for other artists, both professional and young, both in Cleveland, and in the cities she visits.
The 2016 Creative Workforce Fellowship is a program of the Community Partnership for Arts and Culture. Funding for the Fellowship program is made possible by the generous support of Cuyahoga County residents through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.

We had a fabulous 4.5-star stay at Mas des Vines.
The location is fantastic, if you're looking for something pastoral & relaxed, yet very well-situated within stone's throw of amazing markets, wine, history, & things to do. The house is beautifully decorated, extremely functional, & has a cozy, homey feel to it. The pool, backyard, outdoor patio, kitchen, & living areas were considerably better than expected based on the pictures. The kitchen in particular is fully equipped and was an absolute pleasure to cook in. We have fond memories of long meals both indoors and out. All loved (kids especially) the pool and backyard. Kids also loved the toys that were stocked. Bathrooms great, & loved the laundry room, too.
Nina was extremely responsive and helpful, as was Anne the general local caretaker. The reference manual was chock-full of important & helpful information. I'd note that the wireless internet is not work-speed caliber - though that wasn't a problem for any of us, who were looking to disconnect. And while the bedrooms are all comfortable and well-appointed, from the photos you couldn't tell that the one with the King is more spacious than the rest.
We loved the local restaurant in Cavillargues. Loved the morning bike rides to the boulangerie there, too. Enjoyed the 'adventure' hike to the top of the hill in Sabran. Made several treks to Uzes & Château-Neuf. & HIGHLY recommend any evening performances at the Theatre Antique d'Orange (but bring cushions and jackets!)
We'd recommend to friends or book again on future trips to southern France. Thank you, Nina.
We had a wonderful week staying in this lovely house and enjoying the peace and quiet of staying amongst the vines with the most amazing views. The house is beautiful with absolutely everything you could need for a comfortable stay and great attention to detail. We loved the area and everything about our stay - we will definitely be returning!
The villa was perfect for our stay.The location and peaceful and picturesque surrounds was the perfect contrast to the business of Paris.There are many local attractions and towns to see or enjoy the view and the villa which has everything you need,not to mention the cooking of local Nelly.
The villa was everything that we expected.It was a great contrast to the business of Paris. Although we had no transport we used a privat driver for 4 days to see the local sights which was great and enjoyed the villa and surrounds on the other days to relax.The villa was certainly bigger enough for the six of us and we also had Nelly cook for us.Her cooking was amazing.My 5 sisters and I enjoyed every minute of our stay and could not fault the villa.Lida.
This villa has it all, the interior is simply beautiful, the owners have made such a great effort to keep the history of the building with the stones and old wood and mixing it with really beautiful metal windows/doors, a perfect mix of old and new. What is important to us in a holiday house is the kitchen, and this one did not disappoint, we stayed in quite a few stunning villas in France but I think Mas des vignes' kitchen has to be the best we've seen; clean, spacious and very well equipped; the only thing missing for us was an electric french cafetiere, but there were a couple of coffee presses (bodum) which actually were fine.
What I really liked about the house is the feel of it, it feels like a lived in house, my daughter loved the games and toys left by the owners kids, we loved reading the books about wine and food, the little details like hand soap, all towels including pool towels, molton brown soap in bathroom, the arrival hamper, great little details!
Very comfortable beds and furniture.
The only minus for us was the fact that it's quite a distance between the master bedroom and the kitchen/dinner; it would have been great to build an outside (or inside) staircase from the laundry room/upstairs terrace to downstairs, but this certainly wouldn't stop me from going back.
Now for the garden/surrounding, it was just absolutely perfect. Very safe garden, beautifully manicured, amazing pool, my daughter's first word in the morning was "piscine", ours was "what a view!"; and so quiet, you wouldn't think you're in a hamlet.
The daily early morning walk through the vines right in front of the house was very pleasant, but nothing beat breakfast and dinner outside on the patio, so beautiful!
We also found that everything we wanted to see/taste...was no more than 30/40 mins away, through beautiful countryside. Uzés is definitely a must do, Goudargues is lovely for a lunch otherwise just follow any "cote du rhone route" and stop at vineyards for tasting along the way.
2 restaurants we really enjoyed was Le bistrot in Lussan, a little gastro bistrot with really tasty food and La table du Boucher in St-Quentin-La-Poterie.
All in all a perfect week in France, we discovered a new area, I am french (living in UK) and never thought of holidaying in this area, but after visiting in early June, we're already talking of going again next year, and Mas des vignes is most certainly the villa to go back to!
It was our first visit to Mas des Vignes and it won't be our last. The interior of the house was simply stunning, as was the garden and view across the vineyard. We loved this area of Provence and all it had to offer. We were even treated to the local bull run in Uzes. The owner's attention to detail did not go unnoticed, the house was full of character, charm and was very well equipped. We would not hesitate in recommending this beautiful house and only wish we could have stayed longer. Paradise!

text: The only thing LeBron did that was wrong was the way he told Cleveland (ownership and fans) that he was leaving. He could have done it in a more classy and tasteful manner. But make no mistake about it if you Cleveland fans want someone to blame you need to point the finger at Gilbert the owner. Where was all that passion that was in his idiotic letter 2 years ago when he knew it was a real possibility that Lebron could leave if he didn't pull the strings on getting a few more REAL players. He didn't do it he was riding on Lebron's coat tails praying that he could deliver a championship by himself. History shows that most championships in the major team sports are indeed bought. Very few teams have ever won it all from building strictly trough a draft and minor leagues. Most of them need to add 1, 2, or even 3 players through free agency or trades to put the finishing touches on a championship run. So, all of you bitter Cleveland fans need to start questioning the owners of your teams about what they are doing to bring your city a championship and get off any player who is smart enough to get of Cleveland when they are FREE agent to better their chances of actually winning!

Trivia: Monica is humming what she believes to be "Bolero" from the movie "10". Chandler corrects her, pointing out that it is "Ride of the Valkyries" from the movie "Apocalypse Now". This is an exact reversal of a scene from "The One in Vegas (2)", where Chandler begins humming what he believes to be "The Wedding March" and Monica corrects him, pointing out that it is in fact "The Graduation Song" (Pomp and Circumstance).
Goof: It is not possible for Monica, Chandler and Phoebe to hear what is happening in the room with Charlie and Ross. When Ross entered the room, the hallway corridor is visible.
Goof: When Ross asks Phoebe, Monica, and Chandler if they have seen Joey, the stage lights are visible at the top of the screen.
Continuity: In this episode Ross said that he has always considered Chandler his best friend, because of all their history. However, in "The One Where Emma Cries" he said that Joey is his best friend, while Chandler is his oldest friend.
Magna Doodle: A drawing of a baby kangaroo (labeled Joey) in its mother's pouch
Goof: When Rachel is going to tell Ross about her and Joey, while he's putting down Emma, she puts her purse on the table. In the next shot, she puts her purse down again.
Joey: I can't believe I'm kissing you... I'm kissing Rachel!
Rachel: I know... I'm her!
Rachel: You know, before you said that nothing could happen between us? What changed?
Joey: Well, I only said that because of Ross, y'know? ...then I saw him kissing Charlie.
Rachel: What? Ross and Charlie?
(He nods)
Rachel: Wow! She's really making her way through the group, huh? (after reflecting) Ach! Who am I to talk?
Monica: I can't believe this... Rachel and Joey?
Chandler: How about the dinosaur twins in the other room? No one is manning that wall!
Monica: I'm on it!
Chandler: Anything?
Monica: I think I hear curtains closing...
Phoebe: We've got shoes being kicked off over here...
Monica: Bedsprings--unmistakable!
Chandler: You do realize that's your brother?
Monica: Not until you said it... Somebody switch!
Monica: Wait a minute... Ross and Charlie, Joey and Rachel, Phoebe and Mike! We're the only people leaving with the same person we came with.
Chandler: That's not true. I came with Monica and I'm leaving with Weird Al.
Phoebe: (listening through the wall) That's the door. He's gone.
Chandler: And now she's turning on the TV and watching... Miss Congeniality!
Monica: Honey, if you know it through a wall you know it too well!
Ross: (to Phoebe, Monica and Chandler) Have you guys seen Joey anywhere?
Chandler: (scrambling for an answer) He's probably in his room with his current girlfriend Charlie! ...that's the situation as we know it...
Phoebe: (about Rachel and Joey's situation) So, what is this?
Rachel: What is this? Well, let's see... we kissed for ten minutes and now we're talking to our friends about it, so... I guess this is sixth grade!
Monica: What about Ross?
Joey: He won't care... he's with Charlie now.
Monica: But he wants to find you to talk about it before things go any further. As his friend, don't you owe him the same?
Joey: You're a pain in my ass, Geller!
Chandler: Okay, well, ...we'll go back in there, but will you do one thing for us? ...the people that care about you?
Rachel: Sure...
Chandler: Enunciate!
Rachel: You know... Ross and I haven't dated in, like, six years.
Joey: Six years? Wow... that's almost as long as high school!
Ross: Dude! You're not taking your Bible?
Chandler: You're not supposed to take that. Besides, it's a New Testament... what are you gonna do with it?
Ross: (shrugs) ...Learn about Jesus.
Monica: (about her braided hair) Check it out!
Phoebe: Whose day just got better? (calling) Chandler!
(Chandler enters)
Chandler: Hey--Ah!
Monica: Whaddaya think?
Chandler: I think... I think I can see your scalp.
Monica: Don't you just love it?
Ross: Yeah... You got shellfish in your head.
Charlie: It's so... something... you go girlfriend!
Ross: You've never said that in you life, have you?
Charlie: Not once.
Monica: ...Oh, and listen to this! (tosses her shoulders and her shell dreadlocks make a maraca sound)
Chandler: Whaddaya know. It's a treat for the eyes... and ears!
Joey: (boarding the plane) Wow, it's uh... kinda weird that I'm sittin' next to Charlie after we broke up.
Chandler: Yeah, it's almost as if Air Barbados doesn't care about your social life.
(Joey was supposed to tell Ross about himself and Rachel being together)
Rachel: (angrily smacking him on the arm) You didn't tell him, did you?!
Joey: I couldn't! He was saying all these really nice things about me. I didn't want him to get mad and take 'em all back--I'm gonna edge out Chandler!!
Mike: (on the phone from a restaurant) Y'know, I think I'm just gonna take off and break up with her over the phone.
Phoebe: You can't do that! Oh, c'mon, Mike... strap on a pair! Why don't you just tell her that we got back together. Y'know, women appreciate honesty... We also appreciate gentle spanking once in a while, just F-Y-I...
Precious: (about Mike and Phoebe) Are you guys getting back together or something?
Phoebe: Alright... Susie--can I call you Susie?
Precious: My name is "Precious".
Phoebe: Yeah, I can't say that.
Phoebe: Suzy, I'm gonna be straight with you. Mike and I are back together, and that unfortunately ends your relationship with him... But he's very sorry and wishes you luck in all of your endeavors.
Precious: I just can't believe this. Why? Why would he do this? What's wrong with me?!
Phoebe: Nothing... there's nothing wrong with you.
Precious: I mean, what the hell am I supposed to do now?!
Phoebe: Damn it woman, pull yourself together! Have some pride, for the love of God!
(Precious starts to cry)
Phoebe: Okay, not a fan of the tough love...
Precious: I just can't believe that Mike didn't give me any warning.
Phoebe: But he didn't really know, y'know? He wasn't planning on coming to Barbados and proposing to me.
Precious: He proposed to you?! This is the worst birthday ever!
Phoebe: Look... Precious... Mike's not worth this. You're an attractive, intelligent woman and let's face it, Mike's kind of a wang. I mean, he proposed to me while he was still seeing you... He was gonna break up with you on your birthday? ...and, I don't like to kiss-and-tell, but he cheated on you a lot this weekend!
Precious: Maybe you're right. Maybe I don't need him. I deserve to be treated with respect!
(Mike enters the apartment)
Precious: Screw you, Mike! You're a coward and a bastard, and I hope you rot in hell! (slaps him in the face and leaves)
(Mike looks at Phoebe, dumbfounded)
Phoebe: You're welcome!
Chandler: (to Monica) Now that I untangled you, how about you doing a little something for me?
Monica: Sure, what do you have in mind?
Chandler: I think you know.
Monica: Really? I don't really feel like it.
Chandler: This is what I want to do...
Monica: Okay... I just don't get why you like it so much.
Chandler: (picks up a Miss Congeniality DVD) She's an FBI agent... posing as a beauty contestant!
International Episode Title:
France: Celui qui n'arrivait pas à se confier (The Ones Who Can't Confess Their Feelings)
At first, Season 9 was meant to be the final season of Friends. At the last minute NBC renewed it for a 10th season saying they were not ready to say goodbye to the show yet. This was one reason why this season only has 18 episodes.
In the United Kingdom the tag line used to advertise the show was: "It's like, so the final season."
This episode is one of the few titles that doesn't begin with "The One Where..." or "The One With..." The other episodes are:
"The One After the Super Bowl (1)"
"The One After the Super Bowl (2)"
"The One At the Beach"
"The One After Ross Says Rachel"

This episode runs 30:02 on DVD (a typical sitcom runs about 22:00).
Monica: It's Bolero from 10.
Chandler: It's Ride of the Valkyries from Apocalypse Now.
10 is a 1979 romantic comedy by Blake Edwards starring Dudley Moore and Bo Derek. It featured Bolero, composed by Maurice Ravel.
Apocalypse Now is a 1979 Vietnam War drama by Francis Ford Coppola starring Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, and Robert Duvall. It featured Ride of the Valkyries composed by Richard Wagner.
Chandler: And she's... turning on the TV... and watching... Miss Congeniality!
Miss Congeniality is a 2000 comedy starring Sandra Bullock as an FBI agent who goes undercover as a contestant in a beauty pageant--sorry, "scholarship program".
Monica: Well, I was dancing around, and singing "No Woman, No Cry" and I got stuck.
"No Woman, No Cry" is a popular song by Jamaican musician Bob Marley, who had dreadlocks and is, perhaps, the best-known of all the reggae artists.
Chandler: I came with Monica and I'm leaving with Weird Al.
Chandler is alluding to 1980's musician "Weird Al" Yankovic, who also had big hair.
Chandler: (to Monica, about her hair) I really don't wanna sit with Allen Iverson over there.
Allen Iverson plays basketball for the Philadelphia 76ers and is famous for his corn row hair
Monica: Okay, I've had it with the hair jokes. Tomorrow morning, before we leave, I'm going to the salon.
Chandler: Okay, Buckwheat!
Buckwheat was a member of the Little Rascals, a group of kids who made many popular movies together. He had a huge afro, hence the reference. The character enjoyed renewed popularity when Eddie Murphy did a parody of him on Saturday Night Live.

Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (NASDAQ: TSEM) shares were down on Tuesday February 14 on lighter trade volume than normal after a number of analysts weighed in on the investing value of the stock, boosting the price target of stock.
Meanwhile U.S. stocks opened slightly lower on Tuesday. The main three benchmarks retreated after touching the latest in a series of record highs on Monday, with the S&P 500 index SPX, -0.09% down two points, or 0.1%, to 2,326.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.02% fell 34 points, or 0.2%, to 20,381. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.13% shed eight points, or 0.1%, to 5,756.
Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (NASDAQ: TSEM) had its price target boosted by equities researchers at Needham & Company LLC from $25.00 to $30.00. With a rating of Strong-Buy on the stock, Tower Semiconductor Ltd. has a 52-week high of $23.00. The one-year price target of $27.50 is above the opening price of $22.66, that has caused a number of other analysts to comment on the company recently.
Yesterday Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (NASDAQ: TSEM) shares last traded at $22.45, which is a drop of $0.11 from the previous closing price. Opening at $22.66, they ranged from $22.44 and $22.77 throughout the day.
Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (NASDAQ: TSEM) now has a market cap of 1.97B.
Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (NASDAQ: TSEM) Average Daily Trading Volume
The stock's average daily volume is 848,371 shares out of a total float 76,759,000 and some 168,422 shares crossed the trading desk yesterday, 35 percent below the average. lower than normal. Look for trading volume to pick up in the coming days as investors often use swings in trading volume to identify heavy volume accumulation or distribution by institutional investors.
While increased trading for short periods will not mean much will not mean much, however, a trend of heavy trading volume on the buy side over a period of days or weeks sends a positive signal to market traders that institutions may be moving in, so institutional sponsorship is very important.
Institutional sponsorship is defined by ownership of a stock by mutual funds, banks, pension funds and other large institutions.
Institutional investors such as these retain substantial teams of analysts researching thousands of stocks. Thus, watching their interests is a good way to make sure you are buying the right stocks.
Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (NASDAQ: TSEM) Moving Averages
A moving average can also act as support or resistance. In an uptrend a 50-day, 100-day or 200-day moving average may act as a support level, as shown in the figure below.
This is because the average acts like a floor (support), so the price bounces up off of it.
In a downtrend a moving average may act as resistance; like a ceiling, the price hits it and then starts to drop again.
By identifying trends, moving averages allow investors to make those trends work in their favor and increase the number of successful trades.
With that in mind, Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (NASDAQ: TSEM) now has a 50-day MA of $20.61 and 200-day MA of $17.30. It has traded in a 52-week range between $11.03 – 23.00 and today's last price is 2.39%% lower than the 52 week high of $23.00.

Ah, the end of the football season. A time for reflection on what could have been which will soon melt into the anticipation for it all to kick off again in August.
Ah, the end of the football season. A time for reflection on what could have been which will soon melt into the anticipation for it all to kick off again in August.
The magic moment that I've been patiently waiting for since the 1990s. I'd been predicting that this draw would happen to anyone who would listen to me over the last couple of months, and I admit that I'd imagined it actually taking place in the third round of the FA Cup. To see it pop out as the first two balls of the fourth round draw was surreal to say the least, and to think of some of the hugely unsavoury things that I've sung and shouted at Martin Keown down the years… You see, I'm one of those despicable people that support two football teams. Wycombe Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur.
I come from a long line of Tottenham fans, my Nan was born and bred a goal kick away from White Hart Lane, whilst my other Grandparents lived up the road in Edmonton. One of my early memories is playing football in the back garden there and being able to hear the crowds at Spurs, the perfect back drop to my attempts to plant the plastic football in the bottom corner of the washing line post that played the part of the goal. My Dad has told me all about his regular outings to the Lane to watch Bill Nicholson's double winners and it was his love of the game that took me and my brother to our first ever live match in January 1987, Wycombe Wanderers v Bromley in the Isthmian League. We had moved to High Wycombe a couple of years before and I remember wandering up to Loakes Park, wondering why that part of town always smelt of chocolate. The game was a tempestuous affair which The Chairboys won easily, with Bromley having a player sent off. The sights, the smells and the swearing ensured that I was hooked, whilst watching Declan Link whip corners in was a thing of beauty to my young eyes.
The next few seasons really were a golden age for the beautiful game for me. Later that year, I got an early dose of galling disappointment when Spurs somehow lost to Coventry City in the FA Cup final, a superb diving header from Keith Houchen breaking my heart. I carried that disappointment around with me until January 1989, when I was delighted by lowly Sutton United unceremoniously dumping the Sky Blues out of the third round. This, coupled with Wimbledon winning the cup in 1988 guaranteed that I fully understood the magic of the greatest club competition in the world.
After the thrillingly brilliant Italia 90 World Cup, it was all about Gazza and I was taken to see Spurs play for the first time, an away game at Loftus Road where they drew 0-0 with QPR. On leaving High Wycombe that day, I'd been cruelly informed that Gascoigne was injured and wouldn't be playing, so I sat in silence the whole way down the A40, already acutely aware that an afternoon of observing Steve Sedgley lumber around the midfield wasn't going to be great. The joke was on me as Gazza shone in a tight game with the cauldron like atmosphere of Loftus Road ensuring that I'd extended my vocabulary too.
I was by now a complete football obsessive, getting my fix from televised games, Sports Night and Match Of The Day, whilst tracking the Wanderers in the pages of Midweek and The Bucks Free Press. Take it away Barry Davies…
"Is Gascoigne going to have a crack? He is you know. OHHH I SAY…" It's still one of my favourite commentary moments ever. Whenever I hear it, I'm transported back home dancing around the living room. Perfection.
I didn't have to wait long to experience the FA Cup in the flesh either. Queuing up in the rain with my Dad outside the new home of The Chairboys to secure tickets for the second round clash against West Bromwich Albion. We were not to be disappointed… (WARNING – this video contains some awful 'say what you see' style punditry)
Next up, I got a paper round and some disposable income which was largely spent on season tickets to get me into Adams Park at every opportunity. Wycombe Wanderers became the focus for six wonderful years until I went to university in London and started to go and watch Tottenham and experience the dizzy heights of the Premier League.
2000/2001 really did set the bar high for FA Cup magic. Wycombe Wanderers and Tottenham both marching to the semi-finals, only to avoid each other and both get knocked out (yet more heartbreak!) The Chairboys run was simply magnificent though, and the fifth round replay against Wimbledon at Selhurst Park is one of the best games I have ever been to for pure drama. Over to you Alan Parry…
I wasn't at Filbert Street as I had to work, so I listened to the game on the radio. I just couldn't believe it when Roy Essandoh scored, mainly because I'd seen him make his debut for Wycombe the week before and I had decided that he made Trevor Aylott look like Roberto Baggio by comparison. A free agent, signed after the club put a plea out on teletext for a striker who wasn't cup tied, he scored only one goal that season and it knocked high flying Premier League Leicester City out of the cup. Unbelievable.
Since then, there has been very little for me to speak of in terms of romance in the FA Cup. I remember getting up in the middle of the night in Beijing to watch Tottenham get beaten by Portsmouth, another semi-final defeat. Another low point was the then non league Fleetwood Town brushing Wycombe aside 2-0, despite having a man sent off in the first half. I was away in Albania and 5Live had the game as their main commentary match and I'll never forget Mark Lawrenson summing up the performance.
"This is the worst display from a Football League side in the FA Cup that I have ever seen."
Ouch. The magic can go both ways.
Last season, Wycombe took Aston Villa to a replay before bowing out in the third round. This was a great achievement, but with Villa going through a horrendous season it lacked the sparkle of previous cup endeavours.
Since falling into commentating a few years ago, Wycombe Wanderers have provided me with a real rollercoaster ride to describe. From survival at Torquay to losing on penalties in the play off final at Wembley, I've loved every single minute of it. With White Hart Lane being demolished at the end of this season, I knew that the FA Cup with Wycombe was my only realistic shot of being able to commentate on a game there. Somehow, I just knew it would happen.
Thirty years have passed since my first ever game at Loakes Park and I'm delighted that both my dad and brother will also be at White Hart Lane to see our two teams walk out side by side. I just I hope I can hold it together on the commentary…
A poor second half performance from Wycombe Wanderers saw them succumb to defeat against old rivals Colchester United. An evenly matched first period was certainly one for the defenders with both sets of centre backs dominating in a game of few chances. The best opportunity fell to Aaron Pierre, who headed wide following a peach of a cross from the impressive Danny Rowe. Shortly after this, Garry Thompson was correctly booked for simulation as he looked for a penalty and at half time the match was delicately poised.
The Chairboys continued with their game plan of getting crosses and the ball into the box as often as possible, but they were all met by the flawless centre back pairing of Luke Prosser and Tom Eastman. Just after the hour mark, Colchester displayed their clinical side with Chris Porter prodding the ball home from six yards after good work down the right and side from Sammy Szmodics. And it was Szmodics who sealed the win with a wonderful finish on 81 minutes as Wycombe committed players forward in search of an elusive goal. The first shot on target for the home side finally arrived in injury time, but Dayle Southwell's shot on the turn drew a fantastic save from Sam Walker.
After the game, I spoke to Gareth Ainsworth for BBC Three Counties
The attack has been in need of confidence, pace and quality since February and Gareth looked to address this with the signings he made in the Summer. With the injuries coming thick and fast in the opening stages of the season, it's the absence of pacey wide men Myles Weston and Paris Cowan-Hall that look to be hurting Wycombe the most. However, whilst their on pitch reputations had fans salivating at the prospect of exciting attacking football, their respective injury records were always a potential cloud on the horizon.
Ten games into a new season is a fair amount of time to provide an accurate reflection on how a squad is settling down. Wycombe are halfway through this period and have a tough run of fixtures ahead with the fans still sore after a poor finish to the last campaign. As Chairboys manager, Gareth has survived an incredibly sticky situation and also delivered the club's record points total in the Football League, both achieved in tricky financial conditions. So far, 2016 has been a very poor year in terms of goals scored and he will need to draw on these experiences to turn this around.
A new season. Renewed hope, fresh faces, a new kit and as always, plenty to discuss.
The end of the last campaign really felt like a hard slog with the gruelling schedule taking it's toll on a small and injury hit squad. Walking back into Adams Park last night though, there was a real buzz of anticipation about the place. Whispers of sell on clauses, identities of trialists, sightings of The Beast and actually being able to see and purchase club merchandise before the opening day of the season. Wycombe Wanderers are getting their mojo back.
The 1-1 draw against Brentford was as entertaining as a pre season friendly could be, played out in very hot conditions with a few mystery faces on the pitch. A welcome goal from Dayle Southwell and an impressive first half from Myles Weston were big positives for the Chairboys and there is still much more to come. At least one goalkeeper will need to be secured, trialists have earned more time to impress and following guidance from the FA, Adebayo Akinfenwa's home debut will probably be against QPR on Friday.
The new rules concerning loans this season are undoubtedly going to add to the usual madness of pre season with all business having to be concluded by the end of August. After that, it's make do with what you have until the window is reopened once again in January. With Wycombe running a small squad, this adds another dimension to the decisions that Gareth Ainsworth must make on players and also when he does so. I caught up with him after the game for a chat about these very things…
I also took the opportunity for a chat with new striker Dayle Southwell. On first impression, he looks to be an excellent addition to the squad, both on and off the field. As I have been away for most of the Summer I had some catching up to do and Dayle very kindly entertained my lazy Jamie Vardy comparison…
The Chairboy's old friends Bristol Rovers are in town, complete with their new Jordanian owners. Both clubs have come a very long way since the climax of the 2013/14 season, and today meet in much healthier positions in the table. With only one point between the two sides and with Rovers on a three match winning streak against the Wanderers, it should be a tasty affair.

Full match commentary will be on Chairboys Player from 2.55pm, whilst build up, team news, reports and a post match interview with Gareth Ainsworth will be on BBC Three Counties across all their frequencies.
Well. Who would have thought a long trip to Plymouth would have resulted in a former Pilgrim scoring from a set piece to claim all three points against high flying Argyle? Even under a different manager, the same defensive frailties were still evident against the Chairboys, as the home side failed to deal with a poorly delivered early corner. And after an almighty scramble in the box, it was Gozie Ugwu who triumphantly rose from the mud to celebrate a much needed strike which he will hope can kick start a run of goals.
Before the game, I enjoyed a chat with a friend who is a season ticket holder at Home Park. As you could only expect from a football fan of a team riding high in the league, his glass was very much half empty. His main concerns were that Wycombe would press the Plymouth midfield high up the pitch and disrupt the flow of the game as in his opinion, that would be how to stop them from playing their game. How right he was!
Armed with an early lead to defend, the Chairboys slowed the pace of the game down at every opportunity and made it a real war of attrition, aided by the combination of a dreadful pitch and an immobile referee in Philip Gibbs. Even with the early loss of young goalkeeper Alex Lynch to injury, resulting in forty six year old coach Barry Richardson going in goal, Wycombe looked comfortable. The only scare for the visitors came near the end of the first half, after Reuben Reid escaped through on goal and appeared to be fouled by Jason McCarthy. Nothing was given however by a referee who struggled to keep a lid on this feisty affair. Shortly afterwards, the board went up to signal the amount of time to be added on to compensate for the Wycombe players receiving treatment. Five minutes! The Argyle manager, Derek Adams, was furious at this and berated the fourth official to such an extent, Gibbs had to come over to placate the Scotsman. After a short conversation, the board was held aloft once more and proudly displayed nine minutes (a reverse Dolly Parton), although at least one of those extra minutes was used up by Gibbs to transport himself from the centre circle to the touchline and back.
The second half saw Argyle throw everything at Wycombe. I expected the introduction of the excellent Graham Carey at the start of the second half to change the game, but despite some early pressure, the visitors stood firm. Centre backs, McCarthy and Aaron Pierre were superb and in front of them, the returning defensive midfielder Marcus Bean was immense. As the Pilgrims committed more players forward, it was Wycombe who looked the more likely to score as the game came to an end, lighting the blue touch paper in the technical areas on the final whistle…

The story of the day though was undoubtedly the Wycombe Wanderers debut of Barry Richardson. At the age of forty six, Richardson became the oldest player to represent the Chairboys in the Football League, beating Rob Lee by over six years. I caught up with Barry after the game…
