The New Bern Mall and Craven Smart Start hosts the fourth annual Baby Expo on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the mall.
The Baby Expo is being sponsored by Caroline McGath Newborn Photography, Childcare Network, Excel Creative Early Learning and Front Door Fitness NC.

Coastal Coalition for Substance Abuse Prevention will be holding its annual public celebration today from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Bridgepointe Hotel and Marina in New Bern.
Topics include: �What youth are saying about teen alcohol and drug abuse; what youth are doing to reduce underage drinking; what lasting effects alcohol has on the teenage brain; what the military is doing to discourage irresponsible drinking; and what law enforcement is doing to get drugs off the streets.�

A �Social Media Summit� is slated Thursday at the Isaac Taylor Garden on Craven Street in New Bern.
�The goal is to help non-profits and businesses understand the necessity of being visible online from a non-technical standpoint,� said organizer Wendy Card of NewBernNow.com. �There are a staggering number of businesses and non-profits without web sites and/or social media sites and others who don�t know how to effectively use them. If you are one of them, the Social Media Summit is for you and your organization.�
She said local business owners and individuals are teaming up with New Bern Now to �help the community increase their revenue by either becoming visible online or increasing their customer/client base.
�We want you to take away the �big picture� of how using webs sites and/or blogs, along with social media tools that can enhance your client/customer base, ultimately increasing your profits.�
The information includes Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, and others.
Participants will receive a CD with useful information and contact information for the New Bern, Havelock and Pamlico County areas.

Craven County business and community leaders will hold an executive briefing Thursday at 8:30 a.m. at Mount Olive College in New Bern.
The session is designed to discuss early childhood investments as a key strategy in building North Carolina�s workforce readiness and in developing a strong economic foundation for the state.
The featured speaker is Terri Colon, lead instructor of the Early Childhood Program at Craven Community College.
The briefing is one of several that the North Carolina Partnership for Children is hosting around the state.
According to the organizers, despite a high unemployment rate, many jobs remain unfilled. Many adults do not have the basic education and communication skills required to acquire and advance in jobs.
Effective early childhood programs enable children to become more creative, adaptable, team-read employees by developing �soft skills.�
Call 636-3198 by today for reservations.

My two planets i choose for the U.N.E and C.O.P conquest are Ricklad and Dashno. These are forestry planets and have plenty of wildlife on it.
For Rickland I have 4 infantry, 2 special infantry, 3 tanks, and a scout vehicle stationed there.
On Dashno I have 4 infantry, 2 special infantry, 2 meca, and 1 scout vehicle stationed there.
Now I have zero Mulah
1. You receive 2 planets that you name yourself. You will record them on your homepages so others can view it.
2. You have units that can be bought for amounts of mulah, or money. The amount will be decided on by judges. The judges will comment on your creation and vote for the amount it is worth.
3. You may have space and ground units.
4. You can be lent money from your group leader or banker for funding an attack, defense, or trade.
5. The group leader is authorized to tax his members by requesting money or just an order to pay a certain amount every so often. This is up to the leaders.
6. To buy units you will say so in a topic and edit your homepage to say your money amount and units on which planets. Units can be placed at any planet.
7. To declare an attack you will say so in a topic and send your units that you decide to attack. The defender will respond with his units on the planet. Then, judges will decide the vehicles and units destroyed and the winner of the battle.
8. First you attack the defender's space units with yours. In case of a victory you will commence the land battle. Judges please note that the land battle is separate.
9. After capturing a planet you edit its name into your homepage's list of planets and the loser will lose that planet. If you lose the attack then there is no change.
10. After capturing a planet, you receive 10 mulah. For every week starting on Sunday, you receive 2 mulah for each planet you own and 10 for just being here. Example: Saturday you have 10 mulah. Sunday you have 22 mulah.
11. Judging must be unbiased.
12. No cheating including making extra money, super weapons, etc.
13. Maximum is 6 different MOCs that can be used in an attack or defending.
14. this is a list to put in your homepage:
Planets: (your planets) Mulah: (your money) Units: (Put types and amount) Victories: optional, Losses: optional, Rank: optional
15. only UNE or COP vehicle and troop creations. No comics, dioramas, and vignettes
ok here is the pricing chart. If you think it needs something then say so in the topic: prices
Land only:
infantry 1
special infantry (all specializations) 2
light scout land vehicle 2
light attack mech/tank/transport 3
scout fighter 3
light artillery 3
medium main battle vehicles tanks/mechs 4
AA vehicle 4
main fighter/bombers 4
heavy bomber 5
heavy mech/tank 5
main artillery 5
dropship(space too) 5
Space only:
fighter 2
dropship (land too)5
frigate 8
cruiser 11
battleship 14
flagship (giant things) 20
marines (land with dropship) 2
(requires dropship to board frigates, cruisers, battleships, and flagships.)
well is this simple enough for the game.
basically its:
infantry 1
personal transport (atv or speederbikes) 2
special troops 2
little vehicles 3
medium stuff 4
heavy stuff 5
fighter 2
small ship 8
bigger ship 11
even bigger ship 14
really huge ship 15
both: dropship 5
marines 2
note that you can call whatever you want for your MOC so you say so in the MOC's description somewhere. It is balanced because if you think your ship is a battleship even if it is only five studs in length you pay that large price and the judges will count it as a battleship in the battle. They will think of it as battleship not the MOC with only five studs. You don't need to rate MOCs but you need to price your own according to their class on this chart. You pick the class.
Here is an example of the game's workings.
This is buying units stuff:
Bob is a COP guy. He decides to buy five light tanks for 3 mulah each. he also buys 3 infantry for 1 mulah each.
this is his comment on the topic buying units:
I buy 5 light tanks and 3 infantry for the COP.
He then places them on one of his planets. He just edits his conquest stats chart on the home page to say that there are 5 light tanks and 3 infantry on his planet, Zynax(btw ill use this name for my second planet) Then he edits it to say his total mulah is now 32.
He had 50 mulah and now has spent 18. He has 32 left. Then he can buy more if he wants. You can give units to people. Just tell them to edit it in to their page. Also you can give mulah to others. You can move the units between planets whenever you want.
Set up:
Bob, a high ranking COP officer is sent by his leader to attack Jupiter, a UNE planet. He is given a few ships from Tarsis, the COP capital, and 50 mulah, money, to finance the rest of the attack force. Bob now with his orders chooses to ask a COP member, Nick, to help him in this attack. Nick agrees and gives money to fund a capital ship for the fleet. Then Bob, with his new attack fleet, attacks Jupiter.
Then this is just how the battle works. A UNE and a COP mod/judge decide on how the battle will play out. On the ground they decide that Bob's 5 infantry squads, 2 light armored transports, and 6 medium tanks will be utterly decimated by the UNE's 6 infantry, 4 light tanks, 2 heavy mechs, and 4 artillery guns. The judges decide that the UNE loses 3 infantry, 2 light tanks, 1 heavy mech, and 1 artillery gun. The COP lost so they lose all of their units. The judges also include a paragraph about the battle: The COP had a strong landing force but the UNE was better prepared for the situation. They decimated the tanks with artillery fire, leaving the infantry exposed and under heavy fire from the enemy's mechs and other units. They put up a good fight, destroying several tanks and one heavy mech, even decreasing the entrenched infantry to half of their original strength.

Review by Ruben of WhiskyNotes
Mouth: funny how it was so punchy on the nose and on the palate I immediately expected more oumph. Only after a few seconds does it release its flavours. Fairly oaky again, with a slight tangy edge now. Sweet malty notes, a little vanilla sweetness again. Not a match for the nose though, it's much more narrow and possibly too watered down – was the oakiness over the top at cask strength?
Finish: long, with the oak and malt lingering on, and a new sparkle of fruitiness in the end.
An excellent experience to try a bourbon version of a dram that's almost synonymous for heavy sherry maturation. Great nose, maybe not a complete success on the palate. Around € 225. Not sure whether this has yet to be published on the TWE website. Update: now available.

The new pope is Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina, who has taken the name Francis 1.
He's 76 years old, and was reportedly close to being named pope back in 2005.
One of our favorite gurus on Catholicism is former BI writer Michael Brendan Dougherty, who is a proudly traditional Catholic. Dougherty suggested that he sees this selection as something of an anti-Ratizinger choice.
A contentious reading of this election: Josef Ratzinger's enemies have triumphed completely. — Michael B Dougherty (@michaelbd) March 13, 2013
He tweeted his 4 concerns.
1) Francis is not known for swinging an axe. 2) He is begins his papacy on a note of novelty. 3) He has not implemented Benedict's reforms. — Michael B Dougherty (@michaelbd) March 13, 2013
4) He's old. No reason to suspect curia will be responsive to his directives. As he'll be expected to retire, die shortly. — Michael B Dougherty (@michaelbd) March 13, 2013
The Curia is the Catholic church's government apparatus.
On the plus side...
Will say this though. It is obvious that Latin America is underrepresented in the top of the Church. — Michael B Dougherty (@michaelbd) March 13, 2013
In an earlier guide to the Papal candidates, Dougherty wrote about what would happen if Bregoglio won...
Social Justice moves to the front of the Church's concerns. He'd also carry out a humble papacy. Say goodbye to Benedict's ostentation in papal clothing.
Michael's tweets and articles will be crucial to watch in the coming days, so follow him here.


text: We thoroughly enjoyed Joshua Davis' thrilling tale of the salvage operation of the Cougar Ace — a subject we've covered on these pages more than once. Finally, we've now got the answer to the question of what you do with a boat-wrecked shipment of Mazdas. You take the 4,700 formerly brand-new automobiles and send 'em to the crusher. Although we knew this already, we still think they could have at least sent them out to hoons like us as, after all, it's not like we're the types to really give a damn about a warranty. Or they could have started the "Shipwrecked Mazda Cup." They could've done something epic, but no, they shredded up all those poor little zoom-zoom'ers for scrap. Damn you, Mazda! Damn you and your silly liability insurance concerns and your million-man attorney army. [WSJ via CarDomain]

Saturday, October 05, 1996
October 1996-Tonight we are in Avalon Harbor, Catalina Island.
We are on a City of Avalon mooring, $20 a night. The shore boat cruises around picking people up and dropping them off at $2 a whack (we use our dingy instead), the church bells toll each half an hour like some giant grandfather clock, and the town is lit up like Christmas. I love this place, and I'm not sure why. I feel like I'm in the middle of Disneyland, it's Friday Harbor on steroids, but it's great.
Today we walked all over town and of course there are all the touristy shops and rich homes, but also there are the honest touches of history like the building housing the Post Office and hardware store; it looked right out of the 20's. And I like the narrow streets, this is California but it seems more like some part of the French Riviera. This is also a place of boats. The police are more apparent on the harbor than on the land, with two or three harbor patrol boats cruising all the time, and the operators have policemen's badges. There are ferries coming and going, dozens of launches and dingy crossing every which way, and nearby launch BEN WESTON, a 50 foot open boat, tools around carrying passengers to and from we never could figure out where.
The harbor is busy, pretty, and very clean. The water is as clear as glass. This afternoon we sat on WINGS having a drink and soaking in the atmosphere, the sky was blue, the sun was warm, flags were flapping, and all around us were the snorting sounds of launches and taxi's. I took some photos but the reality of this place, the way I felt, I don't have enough film to capture it.
Some of the pleasure I get from Avalon could be the contrast from yesterday. It was Hell!
We were in the Channel Islands, moving from one anchorage to another on Santa Cruz Island.
Our First Anchorage in The Channel Islands
First we went into Little Scorpion, or what we took to be Little Scorpion based on our poor charts, having intended to stay the night in that harbor, but then we went around to Big Scorpion on account of the pelican rookery on the rocks up wind from the former location and the great obnoxious smell the presence of what looked to be several thousand of the big birds lent to the area.
Though the air smelt better, Big Scorpion was a disappointment to us as well, and a more desolate place we could hardly imagine. The higher parts of the island were rolling hills which were totally barren except for windswept brown grass and in the valley, an extension of which became the cove as it reached the sea, there were just a few trees, some houses and a couple of beached skiffs. All these signs of humanity were vacant and run down, and were veiled in a wind blown haze or mist. There was not a person or even a dog to be seen anywhere. Surrounding the ranch, if that's what it was, were other ruins of all sorts, old pier footings, broken fences, overturned picnic tables, and the like. Anchored in the harbor, which was whitecaps and spindrift, was a large power boat, but no sign of life was on it. On top of it all this was only a small harbor, just a bight in the coast, hardly any shelter from the open channel, and surrounded by rocks. No lights, no sign of life, no sounds but the wind. But it was getting dark and the fog was worsening and there were no near alternatives, and so we anchored in a silent, cold, choppy spot, watched the fog blow in, and wondered why we ever came to the Channel Islands.
Just after dark all hell broke loose. The fog closed in completely and the wind began to howl right down the valley towards us. The bottom was rock, and our 45 lb plow, even on all chain, started to drag. We noticed right away, and sprang up from the dinner table, onto deck in our light clothes, and weighed anchor, just a few seconds before we would have gone onto the rocks to leeward. We tried to reset once, but it wouldn't do so there was nothing but to get out of Dodge. Now, like a miracle, there was a light on the powerboat which helped us get our bearings, and we motored into the darkness using that light and the compass course of escape which we had noted on our arrival. With the light on the powerboat and our compass course we made it to deep water. Without those two points of refernce we'd have been lost because in the chaos of darkness, wind and fog we were completely disoriented.
Once away from Santa Cruz Island and Scorpion anchorage, we secured for sea, which took an hour after our hasty departure, and we determined that our best action was to cross the 70 miles to Catalina. Really, there was no other choice. The other harbors nearby were all small, barely protected, surrounded by rocks, exposed to surge, and fogbound, and it was darker than the inside of a coal mine. So we threaded through Anacapa passage on GPS and set sail to the southeast.
We reached Catalina at daybreak, and found it quiet, clear, and warm. So now you know why I'm feeling happy to be here.
Well, that's our story for the day. Life cruising continues to be an adventure. But we love it all and if we survive, we'll have a richness of experiences that you can't buy.

There are a couple of new trailers out for Time Travelers, an upcoming
role-playing adventure game by Dragon Quest IX developer Level-5 that will be out in Japan this summer for 3DS, PSP, and Vita.
Looks a little Persona-ish, no? School uniforms, guns, ticking clocks...
The second trailer (below) is particularly bizarre. This is a game that wants you to cry like you've never cried before. Enjoy!

CD-i Ready Lets Go
>> Saturday, March 24, 2007
CD-i discs aren't copy protected and you're not the first one who want to burn an image of their CD-i game to try with the CD-i emulator. Unfortunately, the Green Book has a few obscure formats, like CD-i Ready. CD-i Ready is a compact disc format based on the CD-i format. CD-i format and CD-i Ready format use different techniques to get audio CD players to skip over the CD-i software and data. CD-i Ready places the software and data in the pregap of Track 1. Standard CD-i format places the software and data into ordinary tracks, but omits the tracks from the table of contents. In this way SPC Vision was able to press the music trakcs of their videogames as an audio CD on the same CD-i. In an audio CD player, the music would be played just as a normal audio CD. In a CD-i player, the game would start. Excellent idea! The only downside now is these discs are very hard to copy.
Not working? The only thing to think of is to try another computer and CD-ROM drive if you have access to other PC tech. Then you might find a drive that works. If you're using Windows 98 it might be worth inserting, ejecting and inserting the CD again! On the first run the CD is recognised as an AudioCD then after you eject/insert it doesn't. Crazy I know!Most CD-i Ready discs can be copied using CloneCD. Sometimes small errors still occur, but I've never had a non-working copy from CloneCD. Though the problem is whether your CD/DVD drive is capable of reading CD-i Ready discs correctly. If your drive can't handle the discs, even CloneCD will fail.
Known CD-i ready discs are:
-A Christmas Songbook
-Alien Gate
-Beyond Limits
-Lucky Luke
-Louis Armstrong
-Dark Fables of Aesop
-More Dark Fables of Aesop
-Opera Imaginaire
-Steel Machine
-The Apprentice
-Dimo's Quest
-The Worlds of...
On this special type of CD-i the CD-i data track is stored in pause sectors preceeding track 1. That way it's possible to play a CD-i (containing both audio and data) either in a CD audio or a CD-i player. In fact that most burning tools investigate the content of a CD by using the TOC (Table of Contents), they won't recognize the hidden data track.

Also, if you know more CD-i Ready discs, please post them below!

I will reiterate what others have said: Know what the things you bid on are worth, set a maximum personal bid (and STICK TO IT) and check feedback. Pay promptly. Personally, I DO go with Postal Money Orders as my PayPal account got "hacked" and it took forever (actually about three months) to get it straightened out. I've found that contacting vendors befor bidding about the payment issue has usually been quite helpful. In fact, one vendor now gives me free shipping when I buy from him! Goes to prove what good clear communication between buyer and seller can do!

Currently on ebay.com.au is that excellent book 'The Formula One Record Book' by John Thompson.
In the unlikely event that anyone here is unaware of it, it covers ALL the Formula One races of the one and a half litre era - 1961-66.
Just a wee tip ...

Use ebay's proxy bidding, but not in the way they tell you to. I won't try to explain proxy bidding here, it's easy enough to read about on the ebay site. My experience has been that people will get caught up in the excitement of the auction and bid higher than they originally wanted to. I determine my max bid, and enter it, but I wait until about 10 seconds to go in the auction. That way, if my bid is the highest, no one else will have the time to submit a new bid. It also keeps me from paying more than I originally wanted to by keeping em from re-bidding should my bid not be high enough. Don't expect to make any friends though doing this, I've received nasty emails telling me what a jerk I am for jumping in and "stealing" an auction at the last moment. That's ok, i am a jerk, just not for that reason.
So YOU were the *******e who beat me to that Auto Union book!!
Seriously, he's right. Providing you can be there "at the kill" you have far more chance. One other tip - even if you're winning the item with a minute or so to go, it's worth upping your maximum bid to the absolute top figure you're prepared to pay. That way, you can sometimes beat the last-minute merchants.
Note for UK-based buyers: it's usually easier going through eBay UK and using the "available to UK" option, as you can often find some interesting US, Aussie, French or German stuff. But beware, a lot of German sellers don't accept Paypal!

Don't ever get carried away by bidding wars!
And here's a classic example of how NOT to bid on eBay! I thought my eyes needed testing when I saw the price this was standing at ....
£88.50 for a 1947 Racing Car Review!!! That is nearly six times the price of the most expensive copy on ABE (currently there are five) and that's got a dust jacket!!!
The seller must think Christmas has come early ....

Heh. I got a cheap copy of Lurani's book on Nuvolari because the seller had listed it as "Nuvorali"!

Not all the sellers are going to be as literate as you. I got my Motocourse TT History at a bargain rate from someone who had listed it as MotoRcourse.

It's a paperback edition of "Touch Wood", which I've never come across before. Apparently published by someone called Speed And Sports Publications in 1971. Was this perhaps only available from a certain Surrey garage? No copies on ABEbooks, so I suspect I may have picked up a real rarity for the princely sum of just £7.46!

BTW, NO, I never bid.
You like paying retail?
Ebay is great for buying or selling damn near anything. As mentioned, it is one of the best ways of reaching a world-wide market for just a few bucks. Though it is still a course of buyer beware, just like any other place.
Don't knock it till you've tried it...

From my inquiry on eBay ~
You asked:
"Are those the actual BRM V16 plugs as well? If so, is there a complete set of them - or, is what you see, what you get?
What a cool piece of racing memorabilia!
Sorry - they are sparking plugs from another car that I used in the 1970's. However I did use the plug box with my F1 Cooper (V12 Maserati) Team.
Kind regards,
I have added this item to my watch list - still many days to go for this one...

First, check the feedback on the seller. If he has anything less than a stellar record, and take a look at the specifics of either the transaction, or the feedback of the person who left the seller negative feedback in the past. You can usually tell from reading feedback if there have been consistant problem indicating a problem.
Avoid sellers who only leave feedback after positive feedback has been left for them. Sellers who use feedback as revenge for feedback left them, as opposed to reflecting how the other party handled their end of the transaction, should be avoided. This usually pretty easy to determine from reading feedbacks.
As the seller questions concerning condition, shipping/handling costs, and how and how soon the item might be shipped. Sellers that don't respond well to email question often don't handle their responsibilities well either.
Avoid sellers who insist only on money orders as opposed to paypal. You have no recourse if something gles wrong. Set up a paypal account and use it. I've found it to be safe and fast.
Fidn out what the item is worth. Often items sell n ebay for more than you can buy them for new just down the street. As examples, I once saw a new wooden machinist chest sell at auction for almost $50 more than the retail cost. I've also seen F1 pics that are available from the klemcoll.com site sell for almost double the price from the website.
Use ebay's proxy bidding, but not in the way they tell you to. I won't try to explain proxy bidding here, it's easy enough to read about on the ebay site. My experience has been that people will get caught up in the excitement of the auction and bid higher than they originally wanted to. I determine my max bid, and enter it, but I wait until about 10 seconds to go in the auction. That way, if my bid is the highest, no one else will have the time to submit a new bid. It also keeps me from paying more than I originally wanted to by keeping em from re-bidding should my bid not be high enough. Don't expect to make any friends though doing this, I've received nasty emails telling me what a jerk I am for jumping in and "stealing" an auction at the last moment. That's ok, i am a jerk, just not for that reason.
Pay by paypal within a minute or so after winning an auction. The sellers appreciate it and the feedback left for you will reflect it.
Posted 12 January 2004 - 01:57
One other thing I'll mention with regard to proxy bids. I always add a penny to my maximum proxy bid, JUST in case. Without that, if I had the same max bid as someone else, it'd go to him with my late bidding. Sometimes it's easy to guess someone's max bid, and I'm surprised how often that penny makes a difference. The week before Christmas I was buying some N scale train stuff for my younger son, and saw some buildings I wanted. The bid was at $16, and I thought $20 would be a good max bid, but I felt that $20 was such an obvious max bid I should make it $20.01, so I did. I won the auction, at $20.01
Even a dumbass like me gets to feel smart every once in a while!

As a violin maker, I occasionally have to assist customers in establishing the authenticity of instruments. Sometimes it means I have to get opinions from others. In the early 80's I traveled to New Jersey to see a retired expert in the area that involved a particular instrument, and enjoyed a wonderful afternoon with the gentleman. At one point I noticed some instruments he had hanging over his workbench, and asked about them. They turned out to be nothing valuable or important, yet he showed me with pride each one and described why he foudn each one interesting and enjoyed looking at them. He had no intention or restoring them, making them playable, or selling them, but rather enjoyed them for the sake of enjoyment.
Thinking back, it reminds me of the scene from "Throw Mama From the Train" when Danny DeVito shows Billy Crystal his coin collection, which turns out to be worthless but priceless at the same time.
I didn't understand that at the time. I do now.
It has nothing to do with the money spent, and it's certainly not an investment. The amount I paid was pretty small anyway. The BRM story was one that fascinated me as a child when I first began to follow motorsport, so I suppose that was the emotional pull that made me want the box. I doubt I'll ever sell it, as some day my oldest son will cherish it, not only because it's a box with a history, but because it was also mine and because of the involvement we shared with motorsports. In the meantime, I'll enjoy it, and yes, show it proudly to those who are interested.
How much for those valve springs, by the way?

But this does mean that a lot of people will not bid...which will drop the price heavily...I got the 2nd edition of the Rothmans Football Yearbook in excellent condition for £20, when 2 other auctions at the same time for the same item ended at double that - because the first seller would only take a cheque.

(Also if the same item is up twice simultaneously the first tends to go cheaper - everyone holds back for the second.)
People also get so caught up in a bidding war that they go way above what an item costs on the high street or from a reputable dealer. So watch for that.

Ebay isn't a proper auction. It could be that if you went back with £250 as a bid you would have been told that MPea had put in a higher bid, so that it would have cost him £255 or so.

ROYERSFORD – For six long years, Zameer McDowell and R.J. Sheldon practiced with and played alongside Hank Coyne. Together, the Spring-Ford teammates and even closer friends sure won their share of football games, too.
By Don Seeley
ROYERSFORD – The draft is over and done with. Now it's time to play some more football.
For a good number of participants in the 2nd annual Pioneer Athletic Conference Senior Bowl, it'll be the last football game they play in … and for each and every one of them, it'll be the last game they ever play in representing their alma mater.
This year's event kicks off 3 p.m. Sunday, June 2 at Spring-Ford High School's Coach McNelly Stadium.
Because it's a seniors-only affair, no one lined up for the inaugural game. But Team Freedom, which was thumped 41-17, may get a bit of a "let's get even" pre-game sermon from Pottstown head coach Brett Myers, who will guide the Freedom squad against Liberty, which is being led by Perkiomen Valley head coach Scott Reed.
And if this summer's game is anything like the first one, expect to see a lot of passing.
"Some of the offensive rules for the game are designed to encourage passing," said Spring-Ford head coach Chad Brubaker, who was in charge of the Liberty crew last year. "The teams have to play man coverage and five yards off the ball, which makes it a little tough to cover."
Myers will certainly have two quarterbacks to handle the Freedom offense with Sage Reinhart, who was his starter at Pottstown the past two seasons, and Spring-Ford's Hank Coyne.
The elusive Reinhart threw for 2,301 yards and 20 touchdowns last season, while Coyne threw for 2,023 yards and 25 touchdowns in leading the Rams to the District 1-Class AAAA final. Both will have a few good receivers to throw to as well, among them being Pope John Paul II's Jamel Stinson and Pottstown's Antonio Moore. Stinson caught 35 tosses – the third straight season he had at least 25 receptions – and the lanky Moore averaged over 26 yards a catch on his 22 receptions. Owen J. Roberts' Colin Horrocks and Upper Perkiomen's Robert Brett are also listed as receivers.
Balancing out the Freedom offense will be running backs Mark Dukes of PAC-10 champion Pottsgrove and Monroe Hampton of Pottstown. After missing half of his junior year because of injury, Dukes came back to pile up 1,347 yards and 21 touchdowns for the Falcons. Hampton was one of the most versatile backs in the league last fall, running for 1,033 yards and 20 touchdowns and catching 31 passes for another 369 yards and three scores.
Reed will counter with a more-balanced – if not more run-oriented – tandem of quarterbacks in Pottsgrove's Tory Hudgins and Methacton's Brandon Bossard. Hudgins, who will play at Bucknell this fall, ran for 1,267 yards and 23 touchdowns while taking snaps in the Falcons' vaunted ground game. Though rarely called on to pass, Hudgins completed 50 percent of his passes for 700 yards and five touchdowns. Bossard, who will play at Eastern Michigan in the fall, capped his outstanding career with the Warriors by throwing for 1,235 yards and 15 touchdowns and running for an additional 607 yards and six scores.
Bossard will have a familiar target to throw to in Methacton teammate Cooper Given, while the receiving corps also features Owen J. Roberts' Will Bradford, Perkiomen Valley's Davon Mitchell and Phoenixville's Sean Hesser.
The Liberty run game will be led by Phoenixville's Ryan Yenchick (1,113 yards), Spring-Ford's Yousef Lundi (1,057 yards) and Boyertown's Matt Moccia (802), a threesome that combined for 43 touchdowns. Methacton's Josh Meck could also get some touches.
Both teams have excellent kickers on their respective rosters, too. Freedom features Phoenixville's Ian Harrigan and Upper Perkiomen's Dylan Wesley, while Liberty has Methacton's Jose Holland and Perkiomen Valley's Brett Davis.
Passing was the dominant statistic in Liberty's romp last year, as Pope John Paul's David Cotellese hit all seven of his attempts for 153 yards and three touchdowns. Spring-Ford's Andrew Scanlan, a redshirt freshman who is expected to vie for a starting position at Northwestern University this fall, caught four of Cotellese's tosses for 74 yards and a touchdown and also returned an interception for another score.

A Bridgeton man was convicted in Craven County Superior Court on Monday of several charges stemming from a mugging of a New Bern man in a Union Point Park restroom in late May.
A Bridgeton man was convicted in Craven County Superior Court on Monday of several charges stemming from a mugging of a New Bern man in a Union Point Park restroom in late May.
Joshua D. Matthews, 27, pleaded guilty to common-law robbery, conspiracy and three charges of obtaining property by false pretense, according to a release from District Attorney Scott Thomas.
Matthews was sentenced to two consecutive prison sentences: 17 to 30 months followed by 10 to 21 months. There was also a monetary judgment against Matthews for the victim�s uninsured medical bills, deductibles and other losses amounting to $5,885. Assistant District Attorney Robert McAfee prosecuted the case.
The victim, John Weyerhaeuser IV, had just been dropped off at Union Point Park just after 7:30 p.m. on May 27 along with Ioma S. Smith, with whom Weyerhaeuser was acquainted, Thomas said.
Weyerhaeuser resides downtown, but Smith asked him to wait with her while she arranged a ride home, Thomas said.
While they were waiting, Smith went into the public restroom and asked Weyerhaeuser to wait outside. A moment later, she asked if he would get her some toilet paper from the men�s room. As Weyerhaeuser entered the men�s room, he was struck in the side of his face and head and knocked to the ground, Thomas said.
His assailants went through Weyerhaeuser�s pockets and took cash, credit cards and an ID card before running away. Smith fled as well.
New Bern police identified Matthews and Jaevon Marquell Little as suspects, in addition to Smith, after they used Weyerhaeuser�s credit card at Walmart, the Athlete�s Foot and a convenience store.
Weyerhaeuser suffered cuts, bruises and a broken upper jaw. He required medical and dental treatment that is ongoing.
The cases against Little and Smith are pending.

Syngonium podophyllum 'Glo Go' 8" Hanging Basket
General Instructions
Syngonium plants are excellent interior or patio plants. They are on the low to mid end of water use. They require less water than a Pothos and more than ZZ or Aspidistra. Syngoniums can have problems with mites, mealy-bugs, thrips and white-fly. None of these can be considered severe problems however. In a patio or interiorscape setting, mealy-bugs and mites are the biggest concerns. Light can be anything between medium-low to high. Mature plants of some varieties will send out runners that can be directed into interesting shapes.
Insects and Mites
Mealy-bugs, thrips, white-fly and mites may be a problem, although none are considered severe. All except mites can be controlled with a systemic drench of imidicloprid or dinotefuran. Horticultural oil or many new Bio-insecticides can be used if a more organic approach is needed. Mites are best controlled with predator mites. Horticultural Oil and to some degree water alone can be effective in removing mites. Multiple treatments may be needed.
Syngoniums do not have any special nutritional needs. Any regularly applied or slow release fertilizer for foliage plants will keep the plants looking their best. Magnesium rates can be experimented with to vary the degree of coloration in the foliage.
