Jersey Rugby Football Club is a rugby club based in Jersey that competes at the RFU Championship. In the 2009–10 season JRFC won their play-off at Twickenham and also in the 2012–13 beat their greatest rivals Guernsey to win the Siam Cup for the fifth consecutive year. Jersey gained promotion by winning National League One and are now in RFU Championship.
The team was known as Jersey R.F.C. until the start of the 2016–17 season, when they changed their name to the Jersey Reds.
Rugby has been played in Jersey since 1879 with breaks for war and the Nazi occupation but the modern era started when the club acquired the land for a permanent home in Saint Peter near Jersey Airport in 1961; the original wooden clubhouse was built in 1964, its approximate location was in the middle of the Jersey Bowl carpark. From the early 1970s, when tourism in the island was at its peak, Jersey attracted many of rugby's top clubs who could combine a break from their regular fixtures with a game against the JRFC.
This period culminated with a very successful Centenary year in 1979, teams with international players came over to play and help celebrate this event – JPR Williams being one of the most famous! This decade left the club with an unequalled collection of plaques and memorabelia; teams coming from the UK, Ireland, South Africa, Australia (the beachguard connection) and the Netherlands.
Jersey vs. Barking at St. Peter, 5 November 2011.
The current clubhouse was opened in September 1994 and corresponded approximately with the start of the leagues; by then Jersey could not rely on random visiting sides and had to join the league in Hampshire.
In the summer of 2010 the new Lord Jersey Stand was built between the 1st XV pitch and the Airport Road and the Pavilion, with kitchen and bar, to the east of the main club facilities. This was to provide amenities for the increasing number of spectators due to the further success of the 1st XV.
The last few years have seen the first team work its way up the National Leagues, winning the overall National League 3 in 2010 and progressing to National League 2 South. Most recently in 2011, Jersey were promoted to National League 1 through a play-off game at home to Loughborough Students. The clubs kit is red with black shorts and socks and the away shirts are blue with black shorts and socks.
During their first season in National League 1 Jersey suffered a narrow defeat in their first game against Fylde and also lost their first home game in two and a half years against Ealing. They were also docked 5 points for fielding too many foreign players in their defeat to Cinderford. Despite these setbacks Jersey bounced back winning 11 games in a row and ended 2011 second in the National League 1 table, only 1 point behind Ealing. In their first game of 2012 they beat top of the table Ealing 24–16, making promotion a very real possibility. This run continued with wins against Rosslyn Park, Cinderford, Wharfedale and Stourbridge giving them 19 wins in a row but stuttered against Barking but since have won all their remaining games, most notably an away win against Coventry in which over 400 Jersey fans went to Coventry, to win promotion to the Championship.
In July 2012, it was reported that the States of Jersey Economic Development Department would sponsor the club for one year at a cost of £75,000.[

WE went back to shoot the Pekeliling flats as my friends wanted to go and I was determined to hit the roof. It was worth climbing 17th floors ;)
Once home to 2,500 residents for 40-odd years, the low cost Pekeliling Flats that were built in 1967 is slowly being demolished. We visited what remains of the blocks that remained home for many despite its size and decaying façade of the building.
Houses attached in a row are called "row houses". Row house development in America began in Philadelphia. A Row house differs in the manner in which it was originally developed by the builder. Historically, someone would purchase a plot of land and then commission craftsmen to build a house, or houses, on it for their personal use. With row houses, a developer would purchase an entire block of plots, build a row of connected houses and then sell the finished buildings. This is called speculative development and was a new concept in the early 19th Century. Because of the origins of row houses in Philadelphia, row houses in America were called “Philadelphia Row Houses,” at least in the beginning.
The Ultimate Builder rolled into Cleveland, OH and for the 3rd year in a row, snow greeted the custom bike builders as they unloaded their sled into the show.
Cleveland, founded in 1796, is located in northeastern Ohio on the shore of Lake Erie and just 60 miles West of the Pennsylvania border. It’s home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Ultimate Builder FreeStyle Class
Jesse Bassett at The Gasbox began the custom Indian sled build with an eBay-found 1940 741 Indian frame. A Norton Commando 4-speed transmission was chosen to replace the OEM Indian 3-speed. New engine plates were made and the scout primary was cut in half, offset and mated with a 1920’s Indian outer primary. All aluminum was polished, all steel was nickel plated, and all cast iron was electroless plated. The entire frame and fork were nickel plated then painted Indian red.

... is Greg.
"Go" is Chinese tic-tac-toe. You must connect five dots in a row. The board is bigger.
After a few practice rounds with Sean I was able to play - and beat! - a waitress. I have forever retired from Go on a high note.
Greg actually became very, very, ridiculously good at it. He was playing with the 高手s at other tables and winning a good portion of the time. He gave our table over twenty face.
Springtime in the Ridge! The beautiful peach blossoms are a gorgeous site around the Ridge Spring area in the springtime. The blooms only last a few weeks before the leaves take over and the peaches begin to grow. Cotton Hope Farms, the grower of this orchard, so graciously allows me to photograph their orchards. This orchard was so well groomed with a grassy green carpet down each row and blossoms covering the trees and ground underneath.

I had to laugh when I went out to my swimming pool and saw these duck sitting in a row almost like a flight pattern.
There is a theory that comes from the world of nature. Mother ducks often corral their young offspring into manageable straight lines before traveling over land or water. Any stragglers or escapees would be noticed as long as the integrity of this line is maintained. Therefore the expression "ducks in a row." .
This week's Macro Mondays theme is “In a row”. With that in mind I set up this little scene, the light was low and when I heard the shutter click I realised that I needed the tripod. I then abandoned all hope for the shot until I saw it large and for some reason it appeals to me. So I will share it as an example of how not to take a macro shot. HMM all :)

The original Green Giant got its name not from ancient lore, but from unusually extra large, hence "giant," green peas. These "Green Giant Peas" were introduced by the Minnesota Valley Canning Company in 1925, in contrast to their previously marketed LeSueur baby peas, early-picked in June. Founded in 1903, this pea company was located in the valley of the Minnesota River, the Dakota Sioux name for "cloudy water," just southwest of Minneapolis and St. Paul, the state capital. This is where there's a "confluence" with the even cloudier and muddier Mississippi River giving the whole area, including the surrounding towns like LeSueur, the title of "the Minnesota Valley." Lesueur is the name of the original explorer of the area, a Frenchmen of the early 1700's. By 1950, the "Jolly Green Giant" was so popular, such an "icon" as we say today, with a cartoon character created, etc., he became the basis of the company's new name. So that is where Green Giant comes from, modern marketing, not ancient lore...
The Green Giant Arborvitae is more properly named by tree scientists the "Thuja Plicata," with the other common historic names being, "giant cedar," also "western cedar," and "red cedar." There's only one other Arborvitae specie in all of North America, the "eastern cedar," or "white cedar," with "Thuja Occidentalis," as the tree scientist's Latin name, the botanist's name. This short tree is actually what we usually think of when the "genus" juniper is mentioned. Funny that the eastern cedar was given the Latin name for "west" which is "occidental." You see? As I have observed before, what's in a name? Highland Hill Farm is not located in a town called Highland Hills, or, on Highland Hill Road, etc. Scottish Highland Hills cows that we grazed on our first property provided our company with a distinctive name when we sold our first trees in 1978.
Green Giant Arborvitae ranges naturally all across the United States from Massachusetts, southwesterly to Texas and New Mexico, through northern Arizona, up the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the state of Washington, and British Columbia beyond.
What does arborvitae mean anyway? Now that we know about the derivation of "Green Giant," here's how the Latin name Arborvitae, or "tree of life," came about. As the first explorers of Canada were mapping the St. Lawrence River in 1536, the tree was used for medicine which saved their leader and most of the men too. Jacques Cartier explored the islands off eastern Canada, and then sailed westward where he entered the St. Lawrence River and found Quebec and a Royal Mountain (Mont Real, which is now called "Montreal"). Cartier was searching for the passage to China so many other explorers would also fail to find. Cartier and his men had to spend a long winter inside a little fort, away from the any sun, where they subsisted on meat, fish, and bread, eating no fruits or vegetables. As scurvy was killing most all of them, a friendly Huron Indian gave Cartier's crew tea made from the needles and bark of a tree which looked like the white cedars of Europe. So Cartier took some trees back to France with him, these Thuja Occidentalis Eastern White Cedars, naming them "Arborvitae," the tree of life. How about that?
Arborvitae are native to the pacific northwest where they grow to 200 feet tall, usually 50 to 70 feet is the common height, even including here in Bucks county. Arborvitae do best in wet forests and swamps. The Green Giant appearance is due to this specie's wide 15-25 foot wide base, the slightly tapering conical shape, and the dense branches and leaves casting great dark shadows. The Arborvitae grows in zones 6 to 8, environments with temperatures that get as low as 10 degrees below 0 Fahrenheit, such as in Missouri or Pennsylvania, to environments where winter temperatures get only as low as 20 degrees above 0 Fahrenheit, such as mid-Texas and northern Florida.
Green Giant Arborvitae have pretty, yet surprisingly tiny yellow flowers. The "pine cones," the fruit actually, of the tree, follow the budding of the flowers and are also surprisingly small compared to the size of a mature tree, being no more than a half-inch in size. There are no problems with tree litter understandably, and so few animals are attracted to the Green Giant Arborvitae, perhaps because of this description.
The Green Giant Arborvitae is recommended for growing as a hedge or privacy buffer along a property line, or driveway. Thuja Plicata, Western Red Cedars are ideal "windrow" trees. In a row, they'll truly diminish the wind. The Green Giant Arborvitae is justifiably considered wind resistant considering the windswept mountains of the Pacific northwest. The wood itself is weak, but it is very light. Green Giant Arborvitae trees are decay resistant, too, but the "Achilles Heel," the one and only vulnerability, is to being eaten by deer. Any Arborvitae are a favorite "deer browse," or as we jokingly say, "deer candy." The Western Red Cedar, the Green Giant Arborvitae do have better deer resistance than most arborvitae. Do not plant arborvitae too far away from structures, lights, roads, etc., where there's quietude and privacy for the "browsing deer." Now that you know all about 'em, Highland Hill Farm has at least 50 or more Green Giant Arborvitae in our nursery ready for pickup at any time. They will range from 1.5' to 12' and be balled and burlapped or potted. We also have field liners and seedling Green Giant available. There are many more varieties of arborvitae available which we have in stock. If we don't stock the variety you want we will find it for you if possible.
We also sell Arborvitae that are very similar to the Green Giants. One variety is called the Excelsa. It has bright grren foliage,pyramidal in form, is fast growing. I believe it will reach 30-35'. The best exposure for this plant is full sun. It is cold hardy to -20F. This plant responds well to pruning and shearing. Its foliage color is retained throughout the year. For a hedge or a screen the plants should be spaced 4-5' stem to stem. A 10' screen needs only 2 plants. A 50' screen needs only 12 plants.
The Thuja Plicata 'Can Can' is another interesting variety. Its is a semi dwarf. Its deeper green foliage is complimented by a touch of white on its new foliage. This is an adaptable plant that can widthstand heat,drought,poor soils, and wet conditions. For hedges and screens its plant spacing can be 4' from stem to stem. A 10' screen needs 3 plants. A 50' screen needs 12 plants. See Can-Can
I took this picture yesterday and showed it to my friends on Facebook. Some people liked it, and then I realized something: I had a Flickr account; maybe my friends on that site might like to see it too, so here it is.
It was a necessary picture to take because Monday and most of Tuesday this week were miserable. The gray skies and rain showers were on my tail everywhere I went. I had a one-stop delivery in Connecticut yesterday, and had to go to Archbald, PA on the way home to pick up foam. It’s a straight shot west on interstate 84. As I drove, the sky started to be gradually clear, with small specks of blue becoming more persistent. By the time I arrived in town, the sky looked like this.
I almost prefer the sky smattered with white puff balls versus pure blue. It keeps my eyes moving between ground and sky, and that’s good for safety. Back when I was a baby trucker, I was taught a safety course called the “Smith System.” There were about five principles, most of which I can’t remember. (Don’t worry; I’m still a safe driver.) The one that sticks in my mind is “Keep your eyes moving.) We were taught to continually scan between the mirrors, the gauges on the instrument cluster, pretty girls passing by, and the road. (Okay, I might have made up the pretty girl part.) The purpose was to keep the fluid in the eye fresh, and the mind sharp as to what is going on around you.
The problem with gray skies is that they tend to get us down. Our focus is low on the road, and the windshield wipers can put us in a trance. There lies the danger; multiple studies have shown that when people drive in rain and solid clouds for more than six days in a row, they eventually become so down in spirits that they give up hope and just start driving off cliffs and stuff. (Okay, you got me. I may have made up that study.)
I do think it helps to look up at the puffy clouds like those that are seen in this picture. It adds contrast to the sky, and for me, it also adds wonder. I wonder what it would be like to have a glider at the moment, see how much lift I could work from the floaters. I also wonder how long the nice weather will last. Perhaps it may hold on through the holiday weekend? In the end, it is just another element added to the scan that I was taught.
On an interesting side note, I almost didn’t take this picture. The loaded trailers at my pick-up point are usually right out front. I drop my empty one, grab the stuffed one and hit the pike. Yesterday the sole loaded one was around the back of the building. When I went there, the first thing that I noticed besides my trailer was the view. There was no way I could drive away without trying to capture it. There was a chain-link fence about 6 feet high, which exceeds my eyeball level. I had to set the camera on the fence above my head, take a picture, check to see if I got what I wanted. I did it three times before I got this one. When I received positive feedback from my Facebook friends, I determined that deciding to take that picture was also a “safe” bet.
After a lovely relaxing Mother's Day, the girls and I went for a walk down the beach this evening..
I had brought my camera with me in the hopes that something would jump out at me as "in a row" for this weeks theme.. and if all else failed, I had plans for the railings on the promenade as a last resort..
And this is how I ended up with my last resort Promenade!
There was a lot of people still out walking and the ice cream shop on the Prom was buzzing with people, which all contributed to a lovely atmosphere, even at 9pm..
I was torn between this shot and the one posted in the comments below for my weekly shot.. but there was something about the activity going on in this shot that led me to choose this one.. It's very representative of this evening, the life, the buzz, the busyness of the promenade.. I love how not only the railings are lined up in a row, but the lights are too..
For 52 of 2014 "In a Row"
When out picking blueberries I got chigger bites (2nd year in a row). This is nothing compared to last year though. It's concentrated on my ankles but I have them from my feet up to my chest. I had about 70 bites last year and it was excrusiating! I only have about 20 bites this time. They are really itchy but mostly, they just hurt and have all this pressure from the puss. If I don't pop them, they just keep getting bigger and bigger and cause more pain than when I let the puss ooze out. The oozing is gross but really important to feeling better. This year, I can wear shoes, last year I was unable to. This is painful and annoying but definitely easier to live with than my last experience with chiggers.
Ipswich 3-0 Wolverhampton
Ipswich survived an early onslaught, including a missed penalty by Freddy Eastwood, to rack up a tenth successive home win and move into the play-off places.
The visitors will feel hard done by as they could easily have been a goal or two up early on, but once Ipswich got a foothold in the game, they rarely looked like letting it slip.
Strike pairing Alan Lee and Pablo Counago scored in a ten-minute spell either side of half-time and substitute Danny Haynes sealed the points with a third in stoppage time.
Wolves looked to have made the best possible start when Fabian Wilnis left a back-pass to goalkeeper Neil Alexander short, Michael Kightly nipped in and Alexander clipped him to concede a spot-kick.
However, Eastwood's stuttering run-up didn't fool the home keeper, who made his second penalty save of the week by diving to his right to beat away the Wales international's poor effort.
Still Wolves continued to pour forward, but Ipswich steadily worked their way into the game and Sylvain Legwinski was only narrowly off target with a glancing header from an Owen Garvan cross.
Wayne Hennessey fielded a couple of tame Counago shots before being beaten on 42 minutes when Garvan's through ball played in Lee who held off Jody Craddock's challenge before curling the ball beyond the keeper with the outside of his boot.
Alexander gathered a Karl Henry shot at the second attempt and made a better save from a Jay Bothroyd piledriver, palming the strike up in the air and then grabbing it right on the line as Eastwood closed in.
Wolves sent on Mark Little and Matthew Jarvis for Craddock and Eastwood respectively at the break, but it was the hosts who started the period the stronger.
Garvan and Lee went close for Town, before, on 52 minutes, a quick Jon Walters throw was collected by Counago and the Spaniard tricked his way beyond Darren Ward before slamming past Hennessey.
Wolves tried to rally and Bothroyd had the ball in the net from a Seyi Olofinjana cross but was well offside, before Town almost added a third when Counago slid in to meet Billy Clarke's cross but fired wide.
After that, Town held on pretty comfortably, and looked far more likely to score again themselves with Legwinski's volley clipping the bar from 20 yards before Haynes sealed it with a clever breakaway goal in stoppage time.
Ipswich's run of home successes is now the joint second best in their history, with only the 15 home wins in a row by Sir Bobby Robson's 1980-81 side now above the current team's achievement.

January 8, 2016 - Risso Dolphins Slaughter – at Taiji, Japan
Fourth day of greed and bloodlust in a row in Taiji. Hunters quickly found a pod of Risso Dolphins and drove them to the Cove.
Just before sunrise, 10 banger boats set out to hunt for Dolphins. After just twenty minutes, the relentless and heartless killers found and started to drive yet another pod of Risso Dolphins. The pod of 13 Risso tried desperately to escape the wall of sound created by the banger boats but were ultimately netted into the Cove. Skiffs with hunters and trainers entered the Cove and the pod was pushed under the tarps on the killing beach. Trainers, working side by side with the killers, selected two Risso for a lifetime of slavery. These Risso will now spend the rest of their lives performing tricks for food and confined to small concrete tanks. The rest of the pod, including mothers and their young, were slaughtered. Cove Guardians heard thrashing and splashing as the innocent Dolphins were murdered. While the bodies were transported to the butcher house, the newly captured Risso were placed in the harbor pens.
The day onced again showed the direct link between the slaughter and the captivity trade. For the fourth day in a row, killers and trainers destroyed a family of wild dolphins.
