Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.

Governor Abercrombie signed the following bills:
House Bill 2052 (Relating to Provider Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment) increases access to Provider Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) by updating references from “physicians orders for life-sustaining treatment” to “provider orders for life-sustaining treatment.” The measure also expands health care provider signatory authority to include advance practice registered nurses and corrects inconsistencies of terms describing who may sign a POLST form on behalf of a patient.
House Bill 1616 (Relating to Health Planning) adds to the Hawaii State Planning Act’s objectives and policies for health, the identification of social determinants of health and prioritization of programs, services, interventions, and activities that address identified social determinants of health to improve Native Hawaiian health in accordance with federal law and reduce health disparities of disproportionately affected demographics.

House Bill 2320 (Relating to Health) establishes health equity as a goal for the DOH and requires the DOH to consider social determinants of health in assessing health needs in the state. The measure is known as “Loretta’s Law” for the late DOH Director Loretta Fuddy, who was passionate proponent.

Senate Bill 2469 (Relating to Telehealth) requires equivalent reimbursement for services, including behavioral health services, provided through telehealth as for the same services provided via face-to-face contact between a health care provider and a patient. The measure also clarifies that health care providers for purposes of telehealth include primary care providers, mental health providers, oral health providers, physicians and osteopathic physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, psychologists, and dentists. For consistency purposes, the bill changes statutory references of “telemedicine” to “telehealth.”
House Bill 2400 (Relating to Temporary Disability Benefits) provides temporary disability benefits to employees who suffer disabilities as a result of donating organs.
Senate Bill 1233 (Relating to Leaves of Absence) requires certain private employers to allow employees to take leaves of absence for organ, bone marrow, or peripheral blood stem cell donation.

The Governor signed the following bills today:
SB535 (Relating to Labor) makes Hawaii the second state – after New York – to place basic labor protections for domestic workers into law. It also establishes basic rights and protections for domestic workers, entitles workers to overtime pay and time for meal and rest breaks, and provides basic civil rights protections against abuse and harassment.
HB1187 (Relating to Human Trafficking) designates January as Human Trafficking Awareness Month and adds minor victims of sex and labor trafficking to the scope of the Child Protective Act and other state child abuse laws.

It also clarifies the minimum and maximum fine for a person convicted of committing the offense of prostitution; adds the offenses of solicitation of a minor for prostitution, habitual solicitation of prostitution, and solicitation of prostitution near schools and public parks under the state’s forfeiture laws; amends the definition of “sexual offense” under the sexual offender registry laws to include acts that consist of the solicitation of a minor who is less than 18 years of age for prostitution; and requires registration with the sexual offender registry for conviction of solicitation of a minor for prostitution as a Tier 1 offense.
HB587 (Relating to the Penal Code) amends the penal code to include that it shall be unlawful to physically abuse persons in a “dating relationship.” It also requires a police officer to separate a perpetrator and family or household member who has been physically abused for 48 hours.
SB655 (Relating to Health) allows health professionals to treat partners of patients diagnosed as having certain sexually transmitted diseases by dispensing or prescribing medication to the partners without examining them.

Someone once said that if you can relate to Edgar Allen Poe then you must be mentally ill. That person was also a simpleton and devoid of any real awareness of the dark corners of the human character. There is no doubt Poe was tortured man, an eccentric man and just maybe towards the end of his life mentally ill due to disease. No one knows for sure. His works are an expedition into love and loss, grief and insanity. They smite our emotions so hard because the human spirit is largely enveloped in feelings of sadness, rage, longing and feeling out of place. We may not perceive these things every second of everyday but they are there occasionally and they are very real for us. You cannot gaze upon the line “And all I loved, I loved alone” and not feel your heart fracture just a little, not because of the simple cluster of words but because we know all too well what he means! We feel it so deeply! That’s a truly great poet! A great poet deserves great homage, a series bridging many artistic journeys through some of the most adored compositions in Poe’s collection, a chance to create our own visions and build so much more on what he gave us.
"The Masque of the Red Death “is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. The story follows Prince Prospero's attempts to avoid a dangerous plague, known as the Red Death. He, along with many other wealthy nobles, host a masquerade ball within seven rooms, each decorated with a different color. Prospero and 1,000 other nobles have taken refuge in this walled abbey to escape the Red Death, a terrible plague with gruesome symptoms that has swept over the land. Victims are overcome by "sharp pains", "sudden dizziness", and die within half an hour. Prospero and his court are indifferent to the sufferings of the population at large; they intend to await the end of the plague in luxury and safety behind the walls of their secure refuge, having welded the doors shut. At the chiming of midnight, the revelers and Prospero notice a figure in a dark, blood-splattered robe resembling a funeral shroud. The figure's mask resembles the rigid face of a corpse and exhibits the traits of the Red Death. When the figure turns to face him, the Prince lets out a sharp cry and falls dead... Only then do we realize the figure is the Red Death itself, and all of the guests contract and succumb to the disease. The final line of the story sums it up, "And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all".
Hello,
This is a graphite drawing of Bob Marley which I did for my dad as he is a big fan of his. I chose that specific quote of his as it has a great meaning which I think my dad, who I dedicated this picture to, relates to very much.
This drawing took around 8-10 hours to complete, and was one of my very first completed portraits.
Hope you like it.
Ajith :)
Relating means revealing what is going on with you now, in the moment. You do not need to control how other people react to you or whether things turn out as planned. Your sense of self-worth will be based not on how things turn out, but on whether you express what you think, know, and feel in each moment. From the book "Getting Real"

The Fay Thomas Collection includes family archives relating to the Thomas family. Moses Thomas (1825-1878) was a significant figure in the history of the area now known as the City of Whittlesea, Victoria, Australia. Thomas and Ann and their family lived at "Mayfield", Mernda, Victoria.
Miss Lily Thomas (1871-1946), Thomas and Ann’s fourth daughter lived there all her life. She collected postcards which her family and friends sent her on a very regular basis. It was an easy and enjoyable way to keep in touch. Production of postcards blossomed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lily’s collection encompasses the so-called Golden Age (1890-1915) with many postmarked 1906-1907. Some were sent to other members of the family.
The collection document the natural landscape as well as the built environment—buildings, gardens, parks, and tourist sites. Topographical Postcards showing street scenes and general views from Australian and international locations, some of which are artistic views. Popular postcard manufacturers such as Tuck’s Postcards are included in the collection.
Decorative cards, many embellished with floral motives (as a nod to the receiver Lily?) and embossing. Greeting cards are common for Christmas, New Year, Easter and of course birthdays.
Regular senders can be identified from Kyneton and the Great Ocean Road area, Victoria and there is a siginifant collection from Scotland (but not sent from there).

This image relates to my question "Can you tell a person's sexuality by their clothes?" simply because with the title caption it asks the viewer which one of the people in the picture is gay? The boy or the girl? If you think the boy, why? If you think the girl, why? You know absolutely nothing about these two people, but when asked which one is gay, a person is going to judge the people by the way they dress or even hold themselves in the picture. What about the boys clothes would tell you he is gay? What about what the girl is wearing? She is wearing a loose fitting Star Wars cut sleeved shirt and a black shirt and black stockings with combat boots, does that make her a lesbian? People are born and raised to have preconceived notions about what a certain thing is supposed to look like, an apple is red, a bird can fly, a gay person dresses in vibrant colors and crazy patterns. But not all of these archaic notions are true and that is what I am interested in researching.

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.

In case you don't know how to recognize this edible "weed", here's a closeup of a healthy patch. These are vigorous in my spring kitchen garden, because I've been growing them for some years and they re-seed. I gather the sprouts into one area and grow them for summer dining. As this useful reference tells us, they are beneficial in ways other than just our diet. A very ancient and fascinating plant. France has a tradition of using it for culinary purposes. Recently, a few adventuresome seed companies are starting to offer "improved" strains for sale. . . I just found such notices online.

otherwise good extremely fine / about extremely fine
This remarkable medallion was struck during Antoninus Pius’ 11th tribunician, and though there are several mysterious aspects that prevent its easy classification, we may be sure it relates to his celebration of the 900th anniversary of Rome’s founding. Pius issued many coins and medallions for this occasion, most of which referenced the cult of Roma or depicted episodes from the formative years of the Republic. Pius must have been pleased that so important an anniversary occurred during his reign, for he was as pro-Roman as any man who ever donned the purple. Unlike his Greekling predecessor Hadrian, who spent most of his tenure in the provinces, Pius spent every day of his long reign in Italy. Since Pius used the anniversary to demonstrate his retrospective approach to religion on numismatic items, this Apollo reverse might relate to an early episode in Roman history. Based on his coinage we know Pius assumed the guise of Rome’s eponymous founder, Romulus (ROMVLO AVGVSTO; RIC 624) and identified himself with Augustus’ Palatine Apollo (APOLLINI AVGVSTO; RIC 63). Here Apollo is depicted principally in his guise as healer, Medicus, (or, as the vestals called him, Apollo Medice or Apollo Paean) for he holds a laurel branch. One of the earliest Roman associations with Apollo occurred in 433 B.C. when, based upon a recommendation of the Sibylline Books, he arrived to deliver the Romans from a plague (Livy 4.25.3). The grateful Romans built a temple to him just outside the city limit. About four centuries later Augustus adopted Apollo as his patron and built a second temple to him not far from his own house on the Palatine. Various details need clarification: is there a tripod in the foreground of the bench upon which Apollo sits, or is it the end of the bench? (The lion-paw feet are of the type typically found on tripods, but less so on furniture.) Why is the bench elevated such that Apollo’s feet dangle above the floor? Does he lean against a small lyre, or is it drapery over the back of the chair. Finally, the subject of the statuette is not clear (is it Venus gazing into a mirror?). If, in addition to holding a laurel branch, Apollo rests against a lyre and has a tripod in the foreground, we would have all three of his main functions represented: healer, patron of the arts, and instrument of prophecy. It is worth noting that the general form of this seated Apollo, holding a laurel branch and leaning against a lyre, is found on coins numerous emperors, including Caracalla (RIC 238a), Gordian III (RIC 87), Philip I (RIC 91), Herennius Etruscus (RIC 144), Hostilian (RIC 180) and Trebonianus Gallus (RIC 118). The physical properties of the medallion are also worth investigating. At present we have a medallion contained within an ancient "ring-frame" that was added after striking. The ring-frame was bonded to the edge of the medallion to create an additional surface area encompassing the medallion. This was meant to enlarge the medallion so it could be set into a larger, decorative frame that would have had any number of functions, perhaps even for attachment to a legionary standard. With the medallion’s extended border the decorative frame’s overlapping lip would cover only the ring-frame, allowing the entire surface of the original medallion to be displayed. The decorative frame no doubt had a metal-plate backing since the relief of the medallion’s reverse was mechanically reduced in ancient times to allow it to sit flush against the back of the frame. This flattening occurred after striking, indeed after the ring-frame was added, because in some of the flattening extends from the medallion to the ring-frame.

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.

March, 2016. Relating to the "exciting" and "dramatic" things that are on tv's and cellphones that draw our attention away from things that are truly important: people, places, sights, light, creation, and creator. Distractions will always be there. It is our decision to make them more or less a priority.

Downtown Brooklyn, New York, New York City, United States
The Long Island Headquarters of the New York Telephone Company, built in 1929-30, is a masterful example of the series of tall structures issuing from architect Ralph Walker's long and productive association with the communications industry. Walker was a prominent New York architect whose expressive tall buildings, prolific writings and professional leadership made him one of the foremost representatives of his field during his long life. In this dramatically-massed, orange brick skyscraper, Walker illustrates his exceptional ability to apply the Art Deco style to a large office tower.
Its abstract, metal ornament on the ground story display windows and the main entrance on Bridge Street, suggests constant movement, and is typical of the art of late 1920s. The structure is faced with multiple sizes of brick, laid in a variety of patterns and planes to create a rich facade design. Horizontal panels of patterned brick enhance each setback leading to the central tower. At the same time, the verticality of the structure is emphasised by narrow sections of facade that soar upward, above others, and by the way the brick is laid to create undulating vertical planes suggestive of draperies.
Through his series of telephone company buildings, many of Walker's design ideas evolved so that here he achieved a tremendous sense of harmony and refinement in his use of brick and metalwork, as well as in the overall massing. The location of this large, important structure in downtown Brooklyn emphasized the commitment of New York Telephone Company to the growth and advancement of the most modern telephone service to the expanding area of Brooklyn and Long Island. In this Long Island Headquarters Building Walker was able to apply the Art Deco style and create a skyscraper which met the technological needs of the client and the demands of the New York City Building Code.
Art Deco Style
The Art Deco or Modernistic style of architecture primarily appeared in this country from the mid-1920s through the 1930s. It has been called an "avant-garde traditionalist'"" approach to creating a contemporary idiom for buildings of the period. As in other self-conscious modern periods, designers and critics of this time articulated the need for a new style that could be deemed appropriate for the vibrant period dubbed the "Jazz Age," and all its accompanying technological developments. They believed that the historically-derived ornamental motifs applied to most of the tall buildings up to this point were unsuitable for their contemporary era. They were trying to relate architecture to the functionally-derived designs of objects made possible and fostered by the burgeoning machine technology™
Much of the architecture that we know as Art Deco was based on accepted, standard forms and construction techniques, which were given a modern cast through the use of a characteristic ornament, and a variety of materials, some new and some simply used in a new way. Most of the architects active in this style had received traditional Beaux-Arts training that called for the creation of the plan and elevations as the first and most important phases in the conception of a building. Ornament was then added to these initial designs, based on ideas which evolved from a variety of influences including: the Paris 1925 Exposition International des Arts Decoratifs, the well-publicized designs of the Vienna Secessionists and the Wiener Werkstatte, the German Expressionists, as well as American architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis H. Sullivan, contemporary theatrical set designs, and Mayan and other Native American forms.
The overall shape of tall buildings of this period came about as a result of the 1916 Building Zone Resolution of New York, which mandated setbacks at numerous levels to allow light and air to reach the lower stories of buildings in an increasingly dense city. In 1922, architect and critic Harvey Wiley Corbett (18731954) and architectural renderer Hugh Ferriss (1889-1962) explored the possibilities created by the zoning law in a series of drawings that illustrated progressive stages of design based on the law's height and mass restrictions. These dramatic renderings, published in Pencil Points (1923) and in Metropolis of Tomorrow (1929), significantly influenced architects of the period. The drawings and the laws from which they came directed the architects' attention to the building as a whole rather than to a single facade of the structure, thus altering the whole design process.
By visualizing buildings "from every possible angle" the architect was transformed from a designer of facades into a "sculptor in building masses."xui The zoning law provided architects with a sound, rational basis for the form and appearance of the skyscraper as well as a new source of creativity; historical styles did not seem to express the modern sensibility and consequently, a new "skyscraper style" emerged in the 1920s. Major characteristics of the new style, as generated in part by the zoning restrictions, were sculpted massing, bold setbacks, and ornament subordinated to the overall mass. The dramatic rendering style of Ferriss and others articulated this new modernist aesthetic. In addition, an emphasis on the verticality of the tall building was derived from the wide influence of Eliel Saarinen's second-prize winning competition entry for the Chicago Tribune Building in 1923.
At the same time, the surfaces of these new buildings were treated with little depth, literally as a skin around the framework. This idea came from the work of architects of the Chicago School, which in turn can be traced back to the writings of German architect Gottfried Semper (1803-1879). In an essay, he included as one of the four basic components of architecture the "enclosure of textiles, animal skins, wattle or any other filler hung from the frame or placed between the supporting poles."xiv This concept led to the idea of wall surfaces being treated like woven fabric, a technique used on several buildings in New York during this period, including the Film Center Building by Ely Jacques Kahn (1928-29, 630 Ninth Avenue, a designated New York City Interior Landmark) and 21 West Street designed by Starrett and Van Vleck (1929-31, a designated New York City Landmark).
New materials such as metal alloys were used, but brick and terra cotta were favorites because of their wide range of color and textural possibilities. Buildings were conceived as stage sets for daily living and were treated as such, with entrances taking on the form and function of the proscenium, and with walls that were made to look like curtains. Ornament, usually in low relief and concentrated primarily on the entrances, took the form of angular, geometric shapes such as ziggurats and zigzags, or simplified and stylized floral patterns, parts of circles, or faceted crystalline shapes. Reaching its zenith in popularity between 1928 and 1931 in New York City, this new architectural style was used most noticeably for skyscrapers. By the time of its critical re-assessment in the 1960s and 1970s this "modernistic" style had achieved the popular name of Art Deco after the 1925 Paris Exposition. A tremendous building boom during the last half of the 1920s resulted in numerous tall towers being constructed in this style, such as the Empire State Building, (1929-31, 350 Fifth Avenue), the Chrysler Building (1928-30, 405 Lexington Avenue), and the Daily News Building (1929-30, 220 East 42nd Street,) in midtown, as well as the Manhattan
The Long Island Headquarters Building
The Long Island Headquarters Building was constructed to provide central offices for the growing telephone service needs of Brooklyn and Long Island. Twenty-seven stories tall, with its long side facing Bridge Street, this building replaced twelve smaller buildings on the site. Its existence allowed the consolidation to one location of approximately 3,500 employees from a variety of other offices.
Walker used many of the same ideas on this building that he had employed on other telephone company buildings, but here there is a greater refinement and harmony due to his earlier design experiences. The narrow tower rising from a broad base was a similar arrangement to the other structures, reflecting the requirements of the recent zoning law. In this Brooklyn building, Walker was able to make the transition from broad to narrow in a particularly well-integrated manner, by allowing parts of some sections to continue to rise while others stepped back. Although symmetrical, the setbacks appear to be more irregular and the eye is led up the facade without any strong breaks.
The primary ornamentation on this building comes from the manner in which the bricks are laid. The sense of vertical movement created by the setbacks is reinforced by the masterful bricklaying in the central section of the two main facades. The brick is placed to create varied planes in an undulating effect, as if it were folds of cloth, reflecting Walker's sense of the wall as a curtain enclosing the steel structure. This three dimensional appearance adds variety and interest to the central parts of the facades, while emphasizing the vertical, as it continues through the numerous setbacks.
Beyond the center sections, the smaller bricks used to face the rest of the ground story are set in a stacked, header bond so that their square ends face the front. The slight variation of colors here and the small-scale patterns enhance the texture of the facade. This is further emphasized by the distinctive brick course at each sill and lintel level which is a composed of rectangular header bricks, and which circumscribe the side sections of the building horizontally. Further virtuosity in the brickwork is seen at the parapets which mark each setback and in the areas surrounding the secondary entrances.
The entrances are framed by stepped brickwork with intertwined horizontal and vertical projections, again suggesting woven material, in further homage to the German Expressionists. Each parapet is distinguished by a variety of projecting horizontal and vertical shapes as well, but here they appear less intertwined. The shadows produced by the projections and the irregular top edges, which are finished with cast stone caps, provide a distinctive finish for the setback sections.
As Walker's ability to fully exploit his primary material evolved, he made a more limited use of other materials. On this building only the ground story windows and the main entrance on Bridge Street are enhanced by metal open-work screens. The abstract ornament that frames each window has an effect of lightness and movement, created by its vertical lines, its stylized fountains and its irregular top profile. The dark metal contrasts vividly with the generally monotone brick facade, making them stand out more emphatically.
Description
The (former) Long Island Headquarters Building of the New York Telephone Company is located at the corner of Willoughby and Bridge Streets in downtown Brooklyn. Twenty-seven stories tall, the building rises through a series of set-backs to a tower at the center of the primary, Bridge Street facade. Set on a granite base, it is faced with iron-spot orange brick, laid in a variety of patterns to distinguish the various sections and the set-backs of the structure. Decorative metalwork surrounds the display windows with their original sash, and the main entry on the ground story. The windows of the upper stories have (except where noted) unadorned, rectangular openings with 1/1 aluminum replacement sash.
Bridge Street Facade: The ground story of this facade is characterized by an almost central, pedestrian entrance, with five bays to the south, toward Willoughby Street and six bays to the north, toward Myrtle Street. The entrance, which has four replacement metal and glass doors, is
deeply recessed within the main plane of the building. A large decorative metal and glass transom, which includes a small sign stating "Bell Telephone," tops the doors. Patterned brickwork continues the vertical lines of the metal design through an extremely deep, stepped and patterned brick reveal. A service entrance, framed by stepped decorative brick patterning resembling woven material is located in the northern bay of the Bridge Street facade. The opening is filled by two plain metal replacement doors topped by plain glass transoms and is flanked by short, non-historic protective walls. In each of the other bays along the ground story of Bridge Street, there is a large display window framed by decorative ironwork.
Each opening is filled by a tripartite window, topped by a tripartite transom. The metal spandrel panels display wavy horizontal lines, while above the windows are openwork panels of decorative metal work in an abstract pattern, applied over the brick walls. The panels, which have an irregular top profile, are composed of vertical lines and an assortment of horizontal and diagonal lines suggesting stylized fountains.
The central section of the building on the ground story, consists of the main entrance way, and three large windows to each side. Above the double-height ground story, this center section is twelve bays wide, with each large window relating to two plain window openings in the floors above, plus a single window bay flanking the entry. Its facade is distinguished by bricks laid in projecting vertical patterns which suggest undulating fabric draperies and emphasize the verticality of the building.
This unique brick patterning continues in this central section through the various setbacks until it reaches the top of the main tower. These set-backs appear above parts of the ninth, twelfth, thirteenth, fifteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, twenty-third, and twenty-sixth stories of the building. The side walls of several of the central set-backs recede at an angle from the front plane of the building, continuing the vertical brick patterns of the front facade. The top of each set-back is marked by a band of three-dimensional brick patterning with cast stone caps at the edge. The top of the tower finishes with faceted, undulating walls surrounding four pairs of narrow (original) casement windows.
To each side of the central section, the building also sets back symmetrically, but at the ninth, twelfth, fifteenth and eighteenth stories. There are six bays above the ground story on the southern side of the Bridge Street facade, and eight bays on the northern side. The wall treatment of these side sections is different from the central area, using flat rather than undulating walls.
On the ground story, reaching to the sill line of the second story windows, courses of rectangular brick headers alternate with courses of square headers set in stacked bond, creating a richly-textured facade. Above this, the sill and lintel courses at each story are laid as rectangular headers while the rest of the facade is normal, stretcher brick. Each set-back of the side sections is marked by patterned brick parapets with horizontal and vertical projections.
Willoughby Street. The Willoughby Street facade is symmetrical, with secondary entrances in the eastern and western bays on the ground story and two large display windows between them. On the west is a non-historic storefront, set within the stepped recess of the end bay and surrounded by projecting brickwork in the same type of woven pattern as seen at the service entrance on Bridge Street. The storefront itself has been replaced with non-historic material.
On the east is another, larger, stepped opening with similar brick patterning around it. It is enclosed by an ornate bronze gate in a pattern similar to that over the windows. Inside the opening is a vaulted and faceted, brick-lined vestibule which leads to an original metal and glass doorway, and is enhanced by an original bronze, hanging light fixture. The two large windows between these entrances have the same configuration and ornament as those on Bridge Street. Above the ground floor, the central section has six bays of plain windows, and is distinguished by undulating brickwork with vertical patterns as on Bridge Street.
This central section rises for nine stories above the ground story, to the first setback. Other setbacks occur at the eleventh, thirteenth and fifteenth stories on this facade, each marked by special patterned brick bands. The set-backs lead to the top of the tower, which has the same undulating brick patterns separated by four bays of paired windows as on Bridge Street. To each side of the central section, there are two bays faced with the same brick patterns in a flat facade treatment as seen on the other facade. These sections set back first at the ninth story, followed by the twelfth and fifteenth stories.
The rear facade of the tower is visible over the buildings on Duffield Street. Much of the wall has no window openings although the undulating wall surface and the set-backs still exist, leading to the central, narrow tower. The northern facade, toward Metrotech, is not visible. There is mechanical equipment and antennas on various setbacks and roof surfaces.

"relating to the motion of material bodies and the forces and energy associated therewith"
A creative outing with my photo club - Inland Empire Photo Club - where we played with light and motion and long exposures to create kinetic art. It was a wonderful, creative evening.
The Governor signed the following bills today:
SB535 (Relating to Labor) makes Hawaii the second state – after New York – to place basic labor protections for domestic workers into law.

I didn't create this work of gastronomical art -- my friend Kate, an Australian, gave pumpkin pie a go last year for Thanksgiving and did a lovely job.
She did one pie with canned pumpkin and one with fresh - it was difficult to tell the difference as I remember so if you can get it -- go for the canned!
The filling freezes nicely, so if you do need to use fresh, double the filling recipe and freeze half of it.

The Welsh metal-core band Bullet For My Valentine has spent most of the past two years taking over the world with massive U.K., European, U.S. and worldwide tours, sharing the stage with Guns N Roses, Metallica and Iron Maiden, playing the Main Stage at just about every rock festival on the planet, and seeing their 2006 debut album THE POISON - an album London's daily The Sun called "One of the finest debut albums in rock history" - sell more than one-million copies worldwide – 350,000 in the U.S. alone – a very rare achievement for an emerging band.
Back home, Bullet For My Valentine has graced the covers of the UK’s Kerrang!, Rock Sound, and Metal Hammer. They won Metal Hammer’s 2006 “Golden God Award” for Best British Band, and the 2006 Kerrang! Award for “Best UK Single” for their track “Tears Don’t Fall.” Here in America, Revolver magazine heralded the band “British Import of the Year,” and THE POISON generated the hit singles “Tears Don’t Fall” and “All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me),” with the video for “All These Things I Hate” going to the #1 spot on MTV2. The band has toured North America three times, and in early 2007, they sold out their first headline trek.
On January 29, 2008, Bullet For My Valentine is set to return with SCREAM AIM FIRE (20-20/Jive/SonyBMG), the band’s highly anticipated sophomore release. The 11-track assault was produced by Colin Richardson (Machine Head, Funeral For A Friend) and recorded at Sonic Ranch just outside of El Paso, TX in early 2007, and is, according to front man Matthew “Matt” Tuck, “really melodic heavy metal…catchy, hooky choruses and full-on vocals with the music being very in-your-face and heavy…it’s a lot more up-tempo than The Poison, a lot more aggressive.”
SCREAM AIM FIRE, featuring the distinctive and powerful six-string dexterity of Michael “Padge” Padget, the unwavering instrumental groove of bassist Jason “Jay” James and the relentless thundering rhythms of Michael “Moose” Thomas, the musical backbone of Bullet is an intimidating force. With a lifetime of classic metal inspiration behind him, vocalist/guitarist Tuck is a formidable and powerful voice for the ever energetic, young metal generation.
“We have stepped it up a gear,” says the front-man. “This album is chock full of classic Bullet ingredients. Metal riffs, pounding rhythms, shredding solos and great melodies. We took everything that we learnt from ‘The Poison,’ and took up tenfold. Better, fresher, harder, sadder and more real.”
Opening with the aural assault of the title track and first single -“Scream Aim Fire” – to the hard-hitting riff slammer of “Waking The Demon,” and the arena-ballad epic “Hearts Burst Into Fire,” this album will definitely catapult Bullet into a world-wide spotlight.
“(The track) ‘Scream Aim Fire’ set the benchmark for the rest of the album,” says Tuck. “It was the moment we realized the direction of where we wanted the record to go. Lyrically, it’s not a saying that anyone can relate anything else to. It’s ours and the meaning is ours alone. Kill or be killed – that’s what this game is like. You’re either on top of the game, or you are out, and we are very much still in. Our quality of song writing, our structures, our timing – the songs are intense and accessible, whilst still keeping our metal roots.”
Tuck believes that the band’s unique accessibility lies in the fact that fans – regardless of age, gender or nationality – can relate to the subjects and issues tackled within their tracks.
“It’s important to us that fans can make a connection with our songs,” says the front-man. “For example, ‘Waking The Demon’ is about being bullied at school – which is something that me and most of the boys went though. The track is about one day, just turning round, and deciding to not take it anymore. I’d hope that our fans can relate to that.”
And despite the fact that these four musicians are now considered prominent players in the UK/European metal world, as well as serious up-and-comers here in the U.S. – the lads remain grounded (all still living in their native Welsh homeland) – and eternally grateful for the position that they now find themselves in.
“If it wasn’t for the fans, we would never even have been able to make this second album,” says Tuck. “We are so thankful to them, and we will always try to deliver the goods. I know we had to cancel a load of shows last year (Tuck was hospitalized in the winter of 2006 and forced to undergo surgery on his tonsils), but it hurt us so much to do so. We really hated to let anyone down, but it was an unavoidable evil, and now I am confident that this record – and this band – are stronger than ever.”
To support the release of SCREAM AIM FIRE, Bullet for My Valentine will set off on what will be more than two years of solid, worldwide touring, starting in the UK and Europe in January, 2008, and then coming to America beginning in late February.
“We are still so hungry for this,” states Tuck. “We are motivated and ambitious. We know where we want to be. We have played with legends and if we get to that level, it would be amazing. But you know what? If it ended tomorrow, we would still be happy. We are amazingly proud of what we have achieved and what we have done. We are having the time of our lives. The world is our oyster…”
Scream, Aim, Fire – the bullets are launched. You have been warned!

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.

. We are in 17th century. Louis XIV is almighty king, at the head of one of the most important kingdoms of Europe. But this domination has a price(prize), which pay every day thousands of soldiers. Louis XIV is indeed king who likes the war, and France will know during his(her,its) 54 years of reign 33 years of conflicts.The inconvenience of a war, so glorious is the victory, is the stream of maimed persons, blind persons, one-armed persons(penguins) and one-legged people in any kinds(genres) which rejects the field of honor. And when Louis XIV crosses comfortably Paris in his coach, it is impossible to him(her) not to notice whom the mass of disabled persons is, in a rather catastrophic, more and more important way. Never mind, king raises(draws up) in 1674 by order the function(office) of a luxurious new royal building(ship), Invalides:" We considered that he(it) not less deserved our pity than our justice to pull(fire) of the poverty and the begging the poor officers and the soldiers of our troops which [] were not only outside state to continue to make us services(departments), but also to make nothing to be able to live and remain; and that it was very reasonable that those who displayed(exposed) freely their life and lavished their blood for the defense and the support of this monarchy, [] enjoy the rest assured(insured) our other subjects and pass the rest of their days in tranquillity "

Because of its location and significance, the Invalides served as the scene for several key events in French history. On 14 July 1789 it was stormed by Parisian rioters who seized the cannons and muskets stored in its cellars to use against the Bastille later the same day. Napoleon was entombed under the dome of the Invalides with great ceremony in 1840. In December 1894 the degradation of Captain Alfred Dreyfus was held before the main building, while his subsequent rehabilitation ceremony took place in a courtyard of the complex in 1906.The building retained its primary function of a retirement home and hospital for military veterans (invalides) until the early twentieth century. In 1872 the musée d'artillerie (Artillery Museum) was located within the building to be joined by the musée historique des armées (Historical Museum of the Armies) in 1896. The two institutions were merged to form the present musée de l'armée in 1905. At the same time the veterans in residence were dispersed to smaller centres outside Paris. The reason was that the adoption of a mainly conscript army, after 1872, meant a substantial reduction in the numbers of veterans having the twenty or more years of military service formerly required to enter the Hôpital des Invalides. The building accordingly became too large for its original purpose. The modern complex does however still include the facilities detailed below for about a hundred elderly or incapacitated former soldiers.
First in a series of postings relating to the William Street and Lonsdale Street area.
While we lament at the loss of many of our early buildings, this one has a happy ending. The Presbyterian church seen here in the earlier photo was located on the north east corner of William and Lonsdale Streets in Melbourne. Construction of the main building took less than a year and was completed in 1867. The foundation stone was laid on the 25th July 1866 by fellow Presbyterian and Chief Secretary at the time, the Hon. James McCulloch. This site was also the location of the Chief Secretary and government and printing offices before moving to the Spring Street area in the mid 1850's. The land was granted to the Presbyterian Church around 1865 and a temporary wooden building was constructed. This building I believe, later became the Melbourne Common School.
At first, only the main edifice was built. The rear vestry came later and the tower facing William Street was partly completed in 1876. All the beautifully stained-glass windows were crafted by Colonial Victoria’s famous stained glass company 'Ferguson & Urie' who operated out of Curzon Street in North Melbourne from 1853 to 1899.
With a dwindling congregation the final service in the old West Melbourne Church was held on Sunday 3rd February 1935. As a great venture of faith, in the middle of the Great Depression, the Presbyterian Assembly offered the Box Hill congregation the West Melbourne bluestone church. The church was demolished stone by stone and re-erected in its original form, though slightly smaller as St Andrew's Presbyterian Church (today's Uniting Church) on the corner of Bruce Street and Whitehorse Road in Box Hill. One bay window on each side is missing making the building 10ft shorter in length. The stained glass windows, its fine pipe organ, and the furnishings from the old church were installed in the new building. One window was donated to the Trinity Presbyterian Church in Camberwell by Sir Keith and Lady Murdoch.
The foundation stone was laid on the 27th April 1935 by the Rev. Patrick John Murdoch......father to Sir Keith Arthur Murdoch and grandfather to News Corporation founder Keith Rupert Murdoch.
On the Saturday 14th of December 1935 the same Gothic doors of the former Presbyterian church in Melbourne were opened with the original key when St Andrew's was dedicated on its new site in the presence of nearly 1,000 people.

"Having access to the University Archives helped inform my work for the position of Glasgow University Knitter-in-Residence. For the project I wanted to create new knitted textile designs using, as inspiration, the repeat patterns in the decorative stonework, ironwork and woodwork of the Gilbert Scott Building, at Gilmorehill Campus. To be able to connect with the original architectural drawings was a privilege and helped me understand the decorative features in finer detail."

Governor Abercrombie signed the following bills:
House Bill 2052 (Relating to Provider Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment) increases access to Provider Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) by updating references from “physicians orders for life-sustaining treatment” to “provider orders for life-sustaining treatment.” The measure also expands health care provider signatory authority to include advance practice registered nurses and corrects inconsistencies of terms describing who may sign a POLST form on behalf of a patient.
House Bill 1616 (Relating to Health Planning) adds to the Hawaii State Planning Act’s objectives and policies for health, the identification of social determinants of health and prioritization of programs, services, interventions, and activities that address identified social determinants of health to improve Native Hawaiian health in accordance with federal law and reduce health disparities of disproportionately affected demographics.
House Bill 1723 (Relating to Psychiatric Facilities) amends the notice requirements for the discharge of an involuntary patient committed pursuant to legal proceeding involving fitness to proceed and requires the family court to conduct a timely hearing prior to the termination of a standing commitment order.
House Bill 2320 (Relating to Health) establishes health equity as a goal for the DOH and requires the DOH to consider social determinants of health in assessing health needs in the state. The measure is known as “Loretta’s Law” for the late DOH Director Loretta Fuddy, who was passionate proponent.
House Bill 2581 (Relating to Insurance) establishes the State Innovation Waiver Task Force and requires the task force to submit two interim reports and a final report to the legislature.
Senate Bill 2469 (Relating to Telehealth) requires equivalent reimbursement for services, including behavioral health services, provided through telehealth as for the same services provided via face-to-face contact between a health care provider and a patient. The measure also clarifies that health care providers for purposes of telehealth include primary care providers, mental health providers, oral health providers, physicians and osteopathic physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, psychologists, and dentists. For consistency purposes, the bill changes statutory references of “telemedicine” to “telehealth.”
House Bill 2400 (Relating to Temporary Disability Benefits) provides temporary disability benefits to employees who suffer disabilities as a result of donating organs.
Senate Bill 1233 (Relating to Leaves of Absence) requires certain private employers to allow employees to take leaves of absence for organ, bone marrow, or peripheral blood stem cell donation. Unused sick leave, vacation, or paid time off, or unpaid time off, may be used for these leaves of absence. The measure also requires employers to restore an employee returning from leave to the same or equivalent position and establishes a private right of action for employees seeking enforcement of provisions.
