Convincing Towns Cup win against City of Derry
by Roger Corbett
Last year’s Towns Cup winners were comprehensively beaten 48-10 in the first round of this year’s competition by a well drilled and cohesive Bangor side.
With conditions very soft underfoot at Upritchard Park, the decision was made to play at the Bangor Grammar School’s new pitch nearby. It was hoped that the firmer ground and better than expected weather would give both sides a good opportunity to play to their respective strengths. As City of Derry 2nds were the current holders of the Towns Cup, and having brought a strong team to defend that position, Bangor were expecting a tough contest.
The visitors kicked off with a slight wind advantage, and pushed forward into Bangor’s twenty two. However, after 7 minutes of play, Bangor produced a fine break through crisp handling and good support that involved several players, before the ball came to Darren Kelly. With 10 metres to go, he powered through the Derry defence to score to the left of the posts. Neil Cuthbertson’s conversion was successful, getting the home side off to a great 7-0 start.
Shortly afterwards, another good combination between forwards and backs saw the ball come to Jason Morgan who seemed sure to score, but the ball somehow slipped from his grasp within sight of the Derry line. From the resulting scrum, Derry won the ball and cleared their lines by kicking for touch. The Bangor lineout was taken cleanly by Kelly, and Bangor picked off where they had left off moments earlier. This time it was Jamie Clegg who made the break before passing outside to Mark Widdowson on the left wing. Although he had to juggle the ball before controlling it, he still managed to squeeze in at the corner for Bangor’s second try. The touchline kick was missed making the score now 12-0 with 14 minutes gone.
City of Derry settled themselves and within 10 minutes were applying sustained pressure in Bangor’s twenty two. Having drawn in Bangor players to a ruck, they quickly passed the ball across their backs to find just enough room to score in the left hand corner. The kick was missed, but the gap had now closed to 12-5.
From Mark Thompson’s restart kick, the ball was knocked on by the City of Derry receiver. The Bangor scrum on the half way line was secured by Clegg before passing to Mike Aspley who accelerated through a gap in the centre, shook off a number of tackles and looked to be through for a score. However, with the City of Derry full back in front of him, Aspley unselfishly passed inside to Morgan who made the last few metres to score under the posts. Cuthberton’s simple kick made the score 19-5.
Most of the attacking play was now coming from the home side, prompting some desperate defending by the visitors. With 35 minutes gone, Derry were penalised for a deliberate knock on within their twenty two. The penalty was kicked to touch, and the subsequent lineout was again taken cleanly, this time by Adam Rushe. In a reversal of the previous try, Morgan took the ball forward before returning the compliment to Aspley to score close to the posts. The conversion brought the score to 26-5.
With the first half drawing to a close, Bangor kept up their pressure, forcing Derry to concede another penalty. From Bangor’s chosen scrum, the ball came to Morgan who, although wrapped up in defenders, managed to off-load to James Henly who made good ground before passing outside to Cuthbertson on the right wing who scored in the corner. His subsequent kick hit the upright and bounced out, but Bangor’s lead as the referee blew for half time was now 31-5.
City of Derry’s half time talk appeared to be paying dividends, as they started the second half with renewed vigour and eventually turned over a Bangor scrum. Having won the ball, they moved it wide to their right wing to score in the corner. Although the kick was missed, they were now in double figures at 31-10, with just a few minutes of the half gone.
Unfortunately, the Derry men were unable to build further from this promising start. On the 15 minute mark, Widdowson took a pass above his head, before side stepping the last defender to dive over in the left hand corner for his second try. A great kick by Cuthbertson made the score 38-10.
Several minutes later, Aspley had another good run, but this time was stopped short of the line. Undeterred, from the Bangor ruck, Andrew Jackson got the ball and, having pushed forward and brought play back into the centre, passed outside to Kelly who powered over from a couple of metres out to score his second try. The kick was missed, making the score 43-10.
With the contest all but over, and waiting for the final whistle, another Bangor attack saw Clegg push through before passing to Widdowson on his left. With defenders in front of him, and with little room to work with, Widdowson chipped over the defence and set off in pursuit. The ball didn’t bounce kindly for him, but did for the supporting Phil Whyte who gathered it well and dived over for a well-deserved try. For the second time in the game, Cuthbertson’s conversion hit the upright, making the final score 48-10.
This was another excellent Bangor performance that has brought a return to the kind of form shown at the start of the season. The timing couldn’t be better as the next game is away to league leaders Clogher Valley, who themselves are enjoying a great run of results.
Bangor side: P Whyte, A Jackson, J Harrison (J Leary), A Rushe, D Kelly, J Henly, R Latimer, J Clegg (c), C Harper, M Thompson, M Widdowson, M Aspley, J Morgan (G Caughey), N Cuthbertson, D Charles

A victory over 3rd bottom Southport Hesketh would've seen Longridge go 5 points clear at the top of the West Lancashire League Premier Division with 4 games to play. Sadly, Town produced their worst performance of the season, going down 3-0 to a hard working Southport side, who played a 90 minutes that belied their League position.
Manager Lee Ashcroft started with two up front, Jack Preston joining Brad Carsley, with Jordan Bowen playing just in behind. Town started OK on a bumpy surface, with Carsley heading wide a Mark Woods cross after just 12 minutes, but four minutes later a Southport corner to the edge of the penalty area was volleyed home to put Hesketh 1-0 up.
The travelling Town support was to be disappointed if they expected a response from the League leaders as, playing into a strong wind, Longridge were struggling to get going, being out worked all over the pitch by the Home side.
After 38 minutes a free kick was lofted into the Longridge area and, after failing to clear their lines, Town went two down as the ball was stabbed home from six yards.
2-0 as the teams went in at half time, and Town would now be playing with the wind at their backs.
Former Southport player Mark Jeffers was introduced, in place of Jack Preston, at half time as Ashcroft look to get the ball wide and provide the ammunition for Carsley to add to his 26 goal tally.
Jeffers looked bright and Town started the half looking for the goal to get them back in the game, but the closest they came was a glancing header from Danny Morris that rolled wide from a corner.
Joe Melling was replaced by Jordan Tucker on the hour, as Ryan McKenna moved up front with Carsley, but it was all in vain as the Southport keeper remained untroubled, aside from showing good hands when saving a Carsley free kick on 76 minutes.
Just 2 minutes later it was all over, although it had felt that way for a while, as Southport outnumbered the Town defence and fired a 3rd goal into the corner of the net. 3-0.
The final 12 minutes were played out in the grim belief that Longridge had missed an opportunity, but Southport had played well and fully deserved their 3 points on the day.
After the match Manager Lee Ashcroft (pictured)was philosophical regarding his teams chances , " The important thing now is that we win our next 3 matches, as the outcome is still in our own hands then, before going to Blackpool on the final day. We were poor today admittedly, but we have to respond and I'm pleased that we have the chance to do that quickly with the Tempest game on Wednesday night."
Town now have 3 home games, starting on Wednesday night against Tempest United with a 7.30pm kick off, before then facing title rivals Blackpool Wren Rovers on the final day of the season on Saturday May 13th.
Today's result leaves Longridge two points clear at the top of the West Lancashire League Premier Division on 72 points, two clear of nearest challengers Wren Rovers.

I truly expected my newest foster to be Mini Moo. Instead, I am pleasantly surprised by the vim and vigor possessed by that gorgeous little furball. Mini Moo has people asking about him, so I expect he will go to a forever home soon. Besides, the family who has them in their house is quite attached to the little guy and don't have any issues with keeping him until he is adopted.
So, how did I end up with Curiosity in my basement bathroom for now? Curiosity and Mini Moo are the last of the dumped kittens to need homes. Curiosity, in truth, is beyond the adorable kitten stage that people desire. Furthermore, he needs some vet care. While the abscess we drained has healed nicely, he still needs to see a vet for his URI as well as presumed parasites and ear mites.
Curiosity has a gentle nature and is convinced he belongs inside the house (he must have been an inside kitten before he was dumped). A while back, during a church bonfire, Curiosity planted himself on the lap of a young man in a wheelchair. Curiosity stayed on his lap as long as the boy remained at the bonfire.
Then, what perhaps won me over, was yesterday afternoon. We had a meal at the farm with visiting missionaries. At some point, some child left the front door open. Well, in wandered Curiosity. He came straight over to the table and looked for a lap to hop up on. Unfortunately, he had to be taken back outside at that point, but he tugged at my heartstrings. . . then he tugged even harder after we gathered in the living room. I leaned over to pet Mini Moo in the bay window and locked eyes with a pleading Curiosity. He so much wanted to be inside with us. . .
Cooler weather has arrived, and Curiosity's health could easily get worse without care. The Convenia shot didn't work for him. I want to do twice daily oral medicine. It just makes sense to have Curiosity stay at our place until we can find him a forever home. We'll nurture him to health, and his natural charm should win someone over. . .
Curiosity not only enjoys people, he also enjoys the company of other cats. It looks like, until we get him treated by the vet, he will make do with his own reflection for a while.

A Look at Biotic Events at High Southern Latitudes at the End of the Cretaceous
Presented by: William Zinsmeister (Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA) (www.eaps.purdue.edu/people/faculty-pages/zinsmeister.html)
19 November 1998
----------
The Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) extinction is the smallest of the big 5 extinctions. 11% of all families go extinct at the K-T boundary. But, the K-T extinction is a favourite of many people, mainly because it included the extinction of the dinosaurs. There have been many theories proposed about why the dinosaurs went extinct, including mammals eating their eggs, the evolution of angiosperms interfering with their digestive systems, and other ideas.
But, all these dinosaurs extinction hypotheses are flawed because they only deal with dinosaurs. Many terrestrial and marine groups (plant and animal) went extinct at the same time.
Then, the impact hypothesis came along in the early 1980s, proposed by Alvarez. This idea explained the K-T extinction in both the terrestrial and marine realm - basically, the global food chain collapsed. Also, the impact theory caught people’s imaginations, and was immediately accepted as fact by the media and the general public. There is much debate among scientists, though.
Now, there is much compelling evidence for an impact. Lots of computer modelling has been done to see what an impact would do the the Earth. One idea is that debris would be thrown up high into the atmosphere and would fall back down as an enormous meteor shower, which would heat the atmosphere to 800˚ and everything on the surface was cooked. Other scary ideas: rainshowers of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, nuclear winter scenario, and global forest fires.
Problem: If things were so bad, how did anything survive? Where are the burned/charred dinosaur bones and trees if all this happened?
There are a few diehards who still say an impact didn’t happen.
Other than that, there are 2 hypothese: 1) Bad Day Hypothesis; 2) Impending Doom Hypothesis.
The Impending Doom Hypothesis says that the Earth’s biosphere had been under a long period of stress up to the time of the impact. The impact was the capstone to the extinction. This seems like a logical idea.
Seymour Island - located near the northeastern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. The geology on Seymour Island is mostly a homoclinal succession of rocks - Cretaceous to upper Paleocene. (www.geologicallocations.com/antarctica/seymour-island.htm)
Post-impact scenarios - it has been difficult to assess post-impact scenarios because there are few areas in the world with Danian-age rocks (= earliest Tertiary). Danian rocks occur in northwestern Europe, a few other places, and on Seymour Island. The north part of Seymour Island is Tertiary in age.
There are about 70 square kilometers of outcrop to look at on Seymour Island (upper Cretaceous and lower Tertiary). The island has a desert-like topography similar to southwestern USA. These are good exposures, and they are packed with fossils with a high diversity and good preservation. About 800 species of fossils have been described from Seymour Island. Lots of ammonites are just lying on the surface. The ammonites are aragonitic. There are also good gastropods and bivalves (all fresh looking). There are also fossil echinoids (including 1 form with 5 brood pouches - the juveniles live in the parent up to a certain point). There are also plesiosaurs and mosasaurs. Ammonites are common.
A spectacular specimen of Diplomoceras was found last year - a specimen that was 1.5 meters long (but curved; uncurved, it would be 14 feet long). The animal itself was ~6 feet long (a 6 feet long living chamber). Smaller pieces of this fossil are relatively common, but this specimen was unusually preserved. It is the nicest, most remarkable specimen known. (www.geologicallocations.com/assets/photos/antarctica/Seym...)
Seymour Island is very muddy to work on - it is always above freezing during the field seasons.
An iridium anomaly does occur here on Seymour Island. It occurs in a unit referred to as the K-T glauconite, which is a greenish, glauconitic sandstone that occurs at the boundary. The glauconitic sandstone is easily correlatable across the island. (www.geologicallocations.com/assets/photos/antarctica/Seym...)
There are no stratigraphic or sedimentological signatures at the K-T boundary within the glauconitic sandstone interval. There is no boundary clay, as classically seen at Gubbio, Italy.
Antarctica is ~8000 miles away from the Chicxulub Crater in Yucatan, Mexico, which is a significant point as far as considering the after-effects expected to be seen in Antarctica. (www.theyucatantimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Chicxu...)
Rudist record - there is a gradual increase in the diversity of rudist bivalves in the Cretaceous. (www.paleotax.de/rudists/intro-Dateien/image002.jpg) Most rudists went extinct at 67.5 to 68 million years ago (~early-late Maastrichtian boundary). This pattern mirrors other groups’ diversity patterns as well - all mostly go extinct before the K-T boundary.
Seymour Island ammonites crash at the end of the Campanian. Seymour Island inoceramid bivalves are gone near the end of the Campanian. (www.flickr.com/photos/jsjgeology/19921135882) Seymour Island belemnites virtually disappear at the end of the Campanian. Seymour Island ammonites are quite diverse in the Campanian (35-36 species), but their diversity crashes to 10 species in the Maastrichtian (= latest Cretaceous), and they are gone at the K-T boundary. Several Campanian cosmopolitan ammonite families disappear in the Campanian in the Seymour Island area, but they extend to the K-T boundary in lower latitudes. So, their disappearance in the Seymour Island area indicates a general temperature decline (cooling).
A regression occurred at the mid-Maastrichtian.
Superimposed on the Maastrichtian temperature decline are several rapid warming spikes. 50,000 years before the K-T boundary event was a warming event, documented from some ODP sites.
Note the restricted occurrence to 1 horizon on Seymour Island of the ammonite Zealandites varuna in the Maastrichtian Lopez de Bertodano Formation. Its presence probably represents a warming spike.
The faunal transition across the K-T boundary on Seymour Island - no single extinction event seen - a gradual decline is seen instead. There is no marked extinction horizon.
Then, someone suggested that this pattern is due to the Signor/Lipps Effect, a phenomenon produced by collection/preservation biases. One can get a gradual extinction pattern purely due to collecting and preservation biases. So, Zinsmeister and others recollected the fossils on Seymour Island, and collected fossils spatially, doing detailed mapping.
The K-T glauconite (~5 meters thick) is actually 3 units - a lower glauconite, a middle fish bed/horizon, and an upper glauconite. The fish debris bed could represent a victim bed from the K-T impact.
Renewed fossil collecting has resulted in a new diversity record - the extinction is less gradual now - it is more abrupt, but all groups are dying out just before the iridium anomaly. The K-T extinction is now more abrupt is high southern latitudes than previously thought.
Fish horizon - interpreted to be the effect of extreme ocean disruption; fish kills are not due to ocean poisoning (strangelove ocean), but by pulses of nutrients into the oceans. This is the only fish horizon in 1600 meters of section. It could be an interval of slow deposition, but this is not likely because fish degrade relatively quickly, and one needs special conditions to preserve fish. The fish debris bed represents conditions after the K-T event - lots of fish kills occurred.
The biosphere is far more robust than we give it credit for. Organisms have been able to survive truly catastrophic events in geologic history.
Example: the Millbrig Bentonite (Middle Ordovician, eastern USA and Scandinavia). This large volcanic eruption resulted in no extinctions. Therefore, Earth’s biosphere is very robust. But, if the biosphere is already stressed, then a big event can push the biosphere into a mass extinction.

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Illinois State Police (ISP) and the Illinois Tollway were joined by their industry partners today to kick off National Work Zone Awareness Week with a reminder to all Illinois motorists: Expect the unexpected driving
through work zones. To signal the start of construction season and call attention to the dangers of driving in work zones, Governor Bruce Rauner has signed a proclamation designating this week
as “Work Zone Safety Week” in Illinois.
“Construction season is underway. That means crews will be out working on the roads, often times just a few feet away from traffic,” said Acting Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn. “Please slow down and eliminate distractions while driving through work zones.
The rules are very simple: See orange. Slow down. Save lives.”
The theme for this year’s National Work Zone Awareness Week is “Expect the Unexpected.”
Whenever motorists are traveling through work zones, they need to be aware of sudden lane closures and shifts, the presence of construction equipment, changing traffic patterns and speeds, as well as a host of other factors that can make work zones potentially dangerous places. More than 4,300 motor vehicle crashes occur in Illinois work zones every year. Provisional data shows that 29 people, including three workers, were killed in Illinois work zone crashes in 2014.
“Construction work zones can be hazardous to motorists and workers alike,” said ISP Col. Mike Zerbonia. “Motorists should prepare for the unexpected by reducing speed and staying focused on the road ahead. Speeding and distracted driving in a work zone is a dangerous offense with tragic consequences.”
Speed and inattentiveness are major contributors to work zone crashes. Workers are not the only ones at risk, either. Statistics show that approximately 90 percent of all work zone fatalities are
motorists.
This year, IDOT will be expanding on the Smart Work Zone technology introduced last year. The system utilizes computers to relay travel times via digital message boards in advance of an interstate work zone so motorists are aware of any backups and can seek alternate routes. Speed
indicator boards will be deployed again this year to increase awareness of work zone speed limits.
Illinois State Police also will continue to operate photo enforcement vans as another measure to reduce speeds in work zones. Signs are posted prior to motorists entering work zones where photo enforcement vans are stationed, with a speed indicator board above the van to give drivers one last chance to slow down.
“With so much construction on the Illinois Tollway this year, it’s important for drivers traveling
in work zones to use caution at all times,” said Illinois Tollway Executive Director Kristi
Lafleur. “Tollway customers can avoid surprises in work zones by planning ahead and visiting
our website for the latest project information and tools to help plan your trip.”
Fines for speeding in work zones are $375 for first-time offenders and $1,000 for a second offense, whether or not workers are present. If workers are present, motorists can lose their driver’s license for up to 90 days after a second violation. The penalty for hitting a worker is a fine up to $10,000 and 14 years in prison.
In recent years, Illinois has adopted distracted driving laws that prohibit the use of all hand-held electronic devices while driving at all times, work zones included. The use of electronic
communications devices or any other electronic device, to text, e-mail, compose, read or send
electronic messages or access internet sites while driving a motor vehicle also is prohibited.

work zones.

No train will stop to pick up the folk on the platform of Lake Placid railroad depot. Passenger service at the former Atlantic Coast Line depot ceased in the 1960s. The 1926-built depot now houses a museum and is maintained by the Lake Placid Historical Society. But a vestigial train service does use the tracks in the foreground: the grandly-named South Central Florida Express is a short line that conveys the cane harvested by US Sugar around Lake Okeechobee to the south.
This picture I made it in the garden of a friend of Böblingen.
Tree is cherry.
The word cherry refers to a fleshy fruit (drupe) that contains a single stony seed. The cherry belongs to the family Rosaceae, genus Prunus, along with almonds, peaches, plums, apricots and bird cherries. The subgenus, Cerasus, is distinguished by having the flowers in small corymbs of several together (not singly, nor in racemes), and by having a smooth fruit with only a weak groove or none along one side. The subgenus is native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with two species in America, three in Europe, and the remainder in Asia. The word "cherry" comes from the French word "cerise", which comes in turn from the Latin words cerasum and Cerasus.
The cherry is generally understood to have been brought to Rome from northeastern Anatolia, historically known as the Pontus region, in 72 BC. The city of Giresun in present-day Turkey was known to the ancient Greeks as Choerades or Pharnacia, and later as Kerasous or Cerasus, < Kerason < Kerasounta < Kerasus "horn" (for peninsula) in Greek + ounta (Greek toponomical suffix). The name later mutated into Kerasunt (sometimes written Kérasounde or Kerassunde).
The English word cherry, French cerise, Spanish cereza, and Southern Italian dialect cerasa (standard Italian ciliegia) all come from the Classical Greek κέρασος "cherry," which has been identified with Cerasus. The cherry was first exported to Europe from Cerasus in Roman times. By the Middle Ages, cherries had disappeared in England. They were reestablished at Tyneham, near Sittingbourne in Kent by order of Henry VIII, who had tasted them in Flanders.
Besides the fruit, cherries also have attractive flowers, and they are commonly planted for their flower display in spring; several of the Asian cherries are particularly noted for their flower displays. The Japanese sakura in particular are a national symbol celebrated in the yearly Hanami festival. Many flowering cherry cultivars (known as 'ornamental cherries') have the stamens and pistils replaced by additional petals ("double" flowers), so are sterile and do not bear fruit. They are grown purely for their flowers and decorative value. The most common of these sterile cherries is the cultivar 'Kanzan'.
The photo I had to laugh. Can not smile without looking at it as a huge dog finds the members of his flock of children. Balian accompanies them everywhere:)
My 2nd maternity shoot. Tried a few without the backdrop this time as the colours looked pretty good. Also, there wasn't loads of room to set up the backdrop due to the shape of the room.
For the shots without the backdrop I used both my Sony F42 flashguns with white shoot-through umbrellas.
For the backdrop shots I had a bare flash behind the backdrop and one camera right with a reflector on the floor aiming back up into Matt & Kiley.

I didn’t expect to find my Immaculata High School grade eight English teacher at the Cape Breton Regional Chamber of Commerce breakfast this morning. Paula McNabb was one of the first Cape Bretoners I met. She introduced me to the warmth and hospitality of Canada’s East Coast. Thanks for teaching me about Shakespeare, public speaking, and to never split infinitives. My apologies again for disrupting your class with Monty Python recitations. Thanks for saying hi, Ms. McNabb!
Je ne pensais pas voir ma prof d’anglais de 8e année de l’école secondaire Immaculata au petit-déjeuner de la Cape Breton Regional Chamber of Commerce ce matin. Paula McNabb est l’une des premières Cap-Bretonnaises que j’ai rencontrées. Elle m’a montré la chaleur et l’hospitalité de la côte Est du Canada. Merci de m’avoir enseigné Shakespeare, l’art de parler en public et de ne jamais séparer l’infinitif. Mes excuses une fois encore pour avoir perturbé la classe avec mes récitations de Monty Python. Merci d’être venue dire bonjour, Madame McNabb!
A few maternity shots from the autumn last year (a bit late uploading). I have since photographed the little boy this lady had a few times and he is a real sweetie.
I noticed a couple things when installing my TRD pro heritage grill yesterday on my 2020. Specifically about the grill upper part. I expect that this info would also be useful if you ever go back to stock or if you need to replace your stock grill upper with another grill upper with the large Toyota emblem and the chrome. While I did this on my 2020, some if not all of the info may be applicable to earlier years.
First, this isn't something that I figured out myself, but it bears repeating. For the big sheet on the top of the radiator housing, you can push in on the button in the center of the plugs to help free them. After the button's down, you can use pliers or a flat head screwdriver to gently pull the plugs up instead of prying them up. You can push the inner pins which are controlled by the button into the up position later before reinstalling them. Then after you reinstall the plugs at the end, you can push the button down to the locking position. It should be flush with the outer housing of the plug. If you push it all the way down, you pushed it too far and into the unlock position you did in the first step, so don't do that.
Second, this is something that I noticed myself. This comes after you remove the big sheet. All of the videos I've seen say that you have to forcefully pry the 6 plugs out that are under the big sheet. These plugs are a different shape than the ones that held in the sheet. They work in much the same way, but they are a bit different. Before you go pulling these up, look closely at the top of the plug. You'll see they have a similar button to the other ones. You can't push it down into a lower position like the previous plugs, but you can use a flat head screwdriver to pop the button up. You can see it's possible because the housing surrounding this button gives you room to do so. After you pop the button up, you can easily pull the whole plug up. I noticed this after forcefully pulling out the first plug. I looked at the construction of the plug and realized that I could just pull up on the button. I did my method on the following 5 plugs, and they all came out perfectly smoothly. If I remember correctly, even the official instructions say to forcefully pry it out, but it's unnecessary and possibly damaging. Of course, when reinstalling, make sure the buttons are up, place the plug in the hole, and then push the button down. It will lock in place.
Finally, this is the big one that I saw people on videos on the internet getting wrong. They say to yank the grill upper out. Some of them were kind of forceful about it. I was able to get the one clip out on the far left and had trouble with the rest. I looked at the one clip that I got out and realized how the grill upper clips into the body. I couldn't see how it all went together until I got the one out, but there are 6 clips. Have a look at the photo, and you'll see where the clips are. What I did with the 3 remaining easy clips was I shoved a long and smooth flat head screwdriver into the space between the grill upper and the body. This helped to free the clips on the grill upper from the holes on the body. After I got the easy ones free, I had to deal with the 2 more difficult clips. I couldn't come up with a better course of action than elbow grease, but at least I had more room to work with since the 4 easy clips were free. I was able to get the 2 difficult clips free without too much trouble. You may wish to lay down some masking tape before you shove the screwdriver into the 4 easy clip spots, but it would be worse to break the body than to scratch the paint if you don't do anything at all with the clips. And since you understand how the parts clip together, you can be more sure about putting it back together. You won't even have to worry about using the 2 more difficult clip holes if you're going to the TRD pro grill.
