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.
I'd lived in this region for over 40 years without knowing that the hamlet of Chinook, Washington, was the center of the fish-trap salmon fishery on the Columbia River.
Then I visited the historic 1924 school in Chinook, where reproductions of vintage photos told the story of the fishery.
While the fish traps were certainly a passive means of catching salmon, building and maintaining them was a lot of work. The fishermen and their families made and mended the nets by hand. Part of the preparations for the coming fishing season was tarring the nets to reinforce them and make them invisible to fish.
Here, fishermen can be seen collecting the salmon that were trapped in the maze-like fish trap. However, the catch seems quite meager. Perhaps the people are gleaning fish that were left behind when the catch was collected. It's also possible the photo was taken at the start of the salmon season.
TONY RACKAUCKAS RE KELLY's LAST WORDS ("DAD !") KNOWING HE WAS BEING KILLED ....The poor kid (Kelly) knew he was being killed by Officer Ramos ...he called out to his dad ..bloody tears well up in my eyes as I type this..completely unnecessary loss of life b/c of an officer filled w/ anger & hate..
(audio) 9/21/11 OC DA TONY RACKAUCKAS re CHARGES v OFFICER RAMOS 4 KILLING KELLY THOMAS in FULLERTON…this is a good first step..they've been talking about it all morning ..its a chilling story...& I can't help but conclude that it was partially w/ racial undertones...I've been around L.A. & OC myself long enough as a person with "no official authority" to understand how some of these officers will take out their anger & hate on people whom they believe they can do so without any repurcussions..ramos already knew who kelly thomas was...& apparently knew he had some issues but also knew kelly wasn't a danger to society, nor violent, nor armed..yet Ramos decided as he himself said to "F--k u up with my fists" ...& he even took time to methodically put on gloves ..ramos being latino..kelly being anglo (irish-american ?) ...I know the anger in some of these cops if you exhibit even a tiny hint of an "attitude" toward them....& ramos proceeded to literally beat kelly to death...along w/ a few other officers..& of course his radio call for help..added fuel to the fire...anytime a cop has a person down..they're going to also be attempting to "justify" the use of force by adding words to the audio-recording such as "stop resisting" even when there is absolutely NO RESISTANCE..they've been trained or taught eachother informally to add this dialogue so that whatever may be caught on video tape or on their own audio tape makes it look & sound as if the person is continuing to fight & resist..so that further force is justified...yet at some point obviously Kelly must have gone limp...because he was dead..how much longer did Ramos et. al continue to beat Kelly (tony says they used tazers and tazer darts as well..see next audio)..and ALL these cops for one person who was unarmed ?! and the beating continues? its outrageous..mark geragos the famous defense attorney spoke earlier on the show & he spoke candidly when he said he was still surprised that the DA is pressing charges ..& will be all the more surprised if an OC jruy convicts (OC having a reputation, of course, for pro-police & "law & order" despite some of the corruption in OC sheriff's dept of years gone by) ..geragos said that the defense will do everything they can to paint a picture of Kelly as a bad person who resisted & who got what was coming because he was disobedient to the cop .. I wonder if frank pastore is going to do a show about this today .. this is insane ...& all the more insane if the officer isn't convicted ..yet in OC there won't be a riot as we saw in the rodney king case...unless some of the OC folk show some backbone & make a stand .. My heart goes out to Kelly's father .. I remember being accosted by a latino officer in the city of orange after an angels game..not physically but it could have been if I didn't do the "yes sir, no sir" routine..and if an anglo officer wasn't with him (not to say same-race cops are always better to same-race citizens but its generally more likely...& unfortunately onve a cop starts something, all the other cops are bound to support him,,,so u will have cops of all race & skin colors suddenly on one bad cops side..& it just escalates from there...) as geragos mentioned..usually without video tape or extremely strong witnesses & evidence the DA will try to whitewash it on the cops behalf...Tony Rackauckas took a stand in this cse...God bless him..I hope he sees it all the way thru to a legitimate end..

Mill Dene Garden – Hidden in the Cotswolds
Mill Dene is a romantic story of a young couple falling in love with each other and a beautiful Cotswold stone water mill.
Knowing nothing about gardening the Dares set about creating one of the most interesting gardens in the Cotswolds. It is personal, witty, surprising and of course, beautiful as well as horticulturally excellent. Features of this 1Ha (2 1/2 acres) garden include a misty grotto, a bog garden and stream. There are plenty of seats from which to enjoy the mill pond and its trout, kingfisher and ducks. It is an exercise in making the most of a difficult and steep sided site. It is also an exercise in creating something beautiful in which to meditate and to nourish the senses.
How to define it? An English country garden? Yes, but with fun and surprises: There is the relaxed and tranquil mill pond and grotto, then there are the hidden signs suggesting you go to Stoke on Trent (in the nicest possible way!) and a Fruit Garden with wonderful views over the hills but with gooseberry bushes under which were found the family grandchildren!! The herb potager has plants with medicinal, culinary and pot pourri uses but also aphrodisiacs!
As a child I was terrified of wolves, likely due to the story, The Big Bad Wolf. Now, I am fascinated, and in awe of them. They have been represented in many ways throughout time in literature and art, film,and music. Who could resist this look?
(not the best exposure of all time, but I love the pose)
"Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls."
These words from the book by Clarrissa Pinkola Estes, "Women Who Run with the Wolves" take us on a journey of discovery through storytelling, and reaching into the ancient archetypes, to reveal our true nature. She is a wonderful "Cantadora", storyteller.
Today on my birthday, I intend to honour my wildish nature.
Have a wonderful day. Dare to howl.

My finale shot for my 365 project! Thank you so very much my friends for all the support, great comments and faves along the way. It's been tricky keeping up sometimes this time around. I think that it will be awhile before I do another 365 but having three under my belt is still a good accomplishment. I have an idea for another project that can be done at a more leisurely rate .... to be revealed.
I might not know the future but I know that I hope to share many more photos, laughs and cheerleading with you all. I definitely have faith that will happen.

Judy Hart was 15 when she and John Forester, then 17, went on their first date. It was 1979 and they both felt that, after the date, they were never genuinely interested in anybody else. “She was different from all the other girls for her age; she was so much taller,” John said. “The first time I saw her she was probably on a pair of skates, and so she even looked taller. It was just like, ‘Oh my gosh, she is gorgeous.’” Judy said that John stood out to her when they were younger. “The first time I remember knowing John existed was when he was teasing my best friend during a church camp trip,” Judy said. “We went to church together, but did not go to the same school, and since he was older, while I was unaware of him, apparently he had been noticing me. That summer, 1979, he asked me out.” Judy and John felt completely at ease with each other from the get-go and continued dating while he attended Ole Miss and she finished high school. “It just seemed like it clicked; it was the right thing,” Judy said. “He always made me feel very special and always put me first and doted on me a bit.” In 1980, Judy’s family moved to Batesville, and they continued dating long distance. “I laugh at that now, but back then, people just didn’t travel like we do now,” Judy said. “We actually wrote letters to each other, and each of us kept them.” During this time, John and Judy saw each other about twice a month and had limited phone conversations. “We were only allowed 5-10 minutes on the phone each week, and it had to be after 11 p.m. on Fridays because the phone rates were cheaper,” Judy said. Because they were so young, John and Judy’s parents pressured the two to date others. John’s parents in particular did not want the two to tie each other down, especially since he was entering his first year of college. “I was always wanting to come home to see her,” John said. “We gave it a test, and we just didn’t want to be apart.” The couple dated for four and a half years before they were married. John proposed on July 22, 1983, which was also Judy’s parents’ 27th wedding anniversary, and they were married on June 2, 1984. Judy was 23 and John was 26 when they had their first child, Will, and one year later they had their daughter Ashley, who is currently a graduate student at Ole Miss. Judy worked at Marshall Academy in Holly Springs, where her children attended school for 14 years. In 2008, with both of their children in college, she decided it was time to return to school to finish her degree. After living in Holly Springs for 22 years, they moved to Oxford this past fall. They believe Oxford and the university has been a large part of their lives. “We have always gone to football, baseball and basketball games and we have come down here for other events,” John said. “I just love Oxford and I love the university.” Now, John and Judy both work on campus. John works in the registrar’s office, while Judy works as operations supervisor in campus recreation. Judy will also graduate in May 2013 with her BBA in management. They have celebrated Valentine’s Day together for 33 years and recall how they celebrated their first Valentine’s Day in 1980. “John gave me a stuffed red and white bear,” Judy said. “We probably went to The Hut, which was a little food drive-in place in Holly Springs. Now, we just go out to eat somewhere. John has always been sweet to do flowers or candy or gift cards for massages.” John believes that Valentine’s Day is a special day and likes to always have a surprise planned for Judy, so he would not reveal his plans for this year. “It is just a time for the two of us to go out to dinner or a movie,” John said. “But it was just a time for the two of us.” Judy said time for just her and John has been beneficial for their marriage. “We always made that really important, to have date nights, because you can get crazy with kids and work, and other obligations,” she said.

We went to the Lake District for the Spring Bank Holiday weekend at the end of May. After a poor journey up the car parks known as the M60 and M6 we then ended up with a bed with a mattress that was knackered. I barely slept for three nights and abandoned ship and came home a day early. We have stayed at the same place a few times but not in that room, I did explain the situation and they dealt with it quite well – I needed my own bed and some sleep though.
It was busy and our first walking day – Saturday – was far better than forecast, it was beautiful, calm and sunny. We drove up to Newlands planning to walk the Newlands horseshoe, a good high level walk with all around views on such a lovely day. We had to be first to breakfast and get out there to make sure we got one of the very few parking places at Chapel Bridge. We set off in shorts and tee shirts but lugging full winter gear with us knowing full well that anything could happen. We headed up High Sneb Bank and on to the summit of Robinson. We only saw eight walkers in our first two hours but it would change as we ran in to the families heading up from Catbells. The views were stunning but, photographically, a bit uninspiring. It was perfect for walking but I felt as though I was just recording a walk. To be truthful that may just have been my state of mind on the day. It had been a truly dreadful night in our B&B.
We nipped out on to Hindscarth next then back to the Dalehead ridge path, with fantastic views down to Honister. By the time we got to Dalehead it was getting a bit busier. Down at Dalehead Tarn there were plenty of large groups sat in the sun having lunch. We legged it up to the top of High Spy and found a quiet spot out of the very gentle breeze. Heading over Maiden Moor we were on the home straight but there was plenty of puffing and sweating heading up in the opposite direction. Catbells was our last top – and the busiest – people were lying around sunbathing, it was glorious. We retraced our steps to the col and went down to Littletown through Yewthwaite Mine and it was a short walk to the car, 11.2 miles and six tops, and it was only the middle of the afternoon so we headed to Brysons tearooms in Keswick. Being a bank holiday we parked on the outskirts and walked in so the mileage rounded off at 14.
All change on Sunday, it was cold, dull, windy and bleak – with low cloud in to the bargain. Again we drove from Ambleside to Keswick but this time we went through Borrowdale to the Honister Pass. Expecting parking problems at Gatesgarth Farm we pulled off the road half a mile before and got kitted up. It was bitterly cold but I stuck with the shorts and a windproof top and didn’t regret it – much! We were going to go up Fleetwith Pike but decide to take the sheltered path alongside Wharnscale Beck to Dubs Bottom. We hadn’t walked this path before and today was as good a day as any. We found the mountain bothy on Green Crag on the way to Haystacks which we hadn’t seen before. The cloud was in and out on the tops but it wouldn’t present a problem on this walk, it would just spoil the view. We passed Innominate Tarn and visited every cairn, I’d forgotten the scrambly route down to Scarth Gap, I hadn't ’forgotten the steep climb over Seat and then up on to High Crag though. The cloud was down and it was cold and very windy so we kept moving, not wanting to hang about. Next up was High Stile, it seemed a long way in the murk. By the time we got to Red Pike, our last top, we were ready for a sandwich. We spotted a couple sat behind some rocks and wandered over, it was an oasis of calm on this windswept top. It was hard to believe really. It was still cold though so we had a quick stop and headed straight down toward Dodd. It was extremely windy on the top of Dodd, which is a fantastic viewpoint over Buttermere and Crummock Water. Down to Blea Tarn and then we galloped down to Buttermere down the Sourmilk Gill path. This path has been largely remade with forward facing or pointed rocks and is a nightmare. You need to concentrate 100% on your feet to move over it fast. We came down nearly 2500 feet in around 35 minutes. We had another couple of miles back to the car, walking along the shore of Buttermere which was very busy with bank holiday strollers. It was grand to get changed and get in the car in warm clothes. In Keswick it was a complete contrast to yesterday, people wandered around in winter gear, frozen, we headed for coffee and strawberry tart.
As a footnote: there was a photo of a tent on Blencathra in Saturdays Times – it was covered in snow on Friday morning! Six days earlier people were sunbathing and getting burnt. As I write this on the first day of summer it’s cold, windy and very wet and gales are forecast for this evening.

Knowing in advance that weather was going to be awful and that main goal of the trip was to celebrate my birthday I decided to travel light... so I decided to take only the Cybershot TX1 with me (that's the lightest I can imagine me traveling :-D).
I have to say the trip was a tour-de-force for the camera considering the crapy light conditions and I have to say it didn't went that bad. I guess the Exmor R has something to do with it. This one, for instance, was taken at 800ISO.

Every soul when reaches it absolute stage of Knowledge is called God. God is an eternal element being indivisible and the belief that we are a part of it is not real. Soul may be with ignorance or with knowledge. Ignorance leads to charging of new karmas. On receiving knowledge of self, ignorance vanishes away and you realize that you are pure Soul. When this knowledge attains its absolute stage, then the person is known as God.

Tuesday greetings, collectors. I cannot tell a lie: I'm having a really lousy day! I say that knowing it'll get better, and isn't nearly as bad as it could be, but as it stands now, I am the proverbial little black cloud in a dress. (Technically, I'm in jeans and cowboy boots, but you know what I'm sayin'.) In light of my mood, it's unsurprising that my newsletter muse is making herself scarce at the moment. That said, the scowl on my face is softening as I contemplating today's lovely editions by painter Chris Ballantyne.
Untitled, Neighborhood (Overgrown) and Untitled, Tidal Bore (Surfer) evoke all kinds of warm, fuzzy feelings. As I said last night on Twitter, I started writing today's newsletter while standing on the beach on Sunday morning. I was out in Montauk, bundled up against the cold and strolling along the shoreline, with someone I adore. We were sipping coffee and looking forward to continuing our aimless meander through the less-explored byways of Long Island's East End, once we'd had our fill of the bracing ocean air. In other words, I was sublimely happy.
While watching a surfer elegantly traverse the gently cresting waves to make his way out past the break, I was reminded of Chris's paintings. Untitled, Tidal Bore (Surfer), came to mind first and most obviously, but I also found a kinship between the modest homes you'll find not far from Ditch Plains and those depicted in Untitled, Neighborhood (Overgrown). As I stood there making those correlations, I said aloud, "I love my job!" And I really, really do — it's awfully fun and fulfilling.
I discovered Chris's work at the Walker, where his paintings were included in that oft-mentioned-in-this-here-newsletter exhibition, Worlds Away. My happiness was similarly sublime when I was in Minneapolis for that show's opening, and so many wonderful relationships — not to mention 20x200 editions — trace their origins back to there. It's hard to stay grouchy when I think about all the great people I associate with that trip: Sarah McKenzie, Brian Ulrich, Paho Mann, Karolina Karlic, Tema Stauffer, Carrie Marill and Peter Haakon-Thompson, founder of The Art Shanty Project. (I'm grinning as I type, in fact! When's the last time you saw a black cloud do that?)
Phew, it's nice to be feeling better. Behold the restorative powers of The Art! I forecast a good mood for the rest of the week too. I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's opening reception for Christian Chaize's US debut exhibition, Praia Piquina. As collectors of his two gorgeous 20x200 editions already know, a sunny disposition comes naturally when contemplating his stunning seascapes.
Come see for yourself! Join us tomorrow night, from 6-8 p.m. at Jen Bekman Gallery. We're at 6 Spring Street, between Elizabeth + Bowery. And if you see a little ray of sunshine? That'll be me.
I keep on floating not knowing
If there is more for me
Don't want to sink beneath waves of negativity
I'm going under
I'm afraid that I might drown
If this is real
I need you now
Can you hold me together
Can your love reach down this far
Can you hold me together
'Cause without You holding my heart
I'm falling apart
Falling apart
Hold me together Lord
Hold Me Together - Royal Tailor
Whom have I in heaven but You? And earth has nothing I desire besides You? My flesh and heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
~ Psalm 73:25-26

Knowing God Brings Us Faith of Job
A grain of sand:
Brothers and sisters, I have been reading the Book of Job when practicing spiritual devotions lately. Whenever I see that God praised Job as a righteous, perfect and upright person who feared God and shunned evil, I admire him greatly in my heart, and I also want to learn from him. I see Job had great faith in God. When he lost his cattle and sheep all over the mountains, his untold wealth, and even his sons and daughters, he didn’t sin through his words blaming God, and he stood witness to God. In the trial he even said words with weight and testimony such as, “Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah has taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah” (Job 1:21). When he suffered great pain from the sore boils all over his body, his wife told him to forsake God and betray God, but instead of doing that, Job said to his wife, “Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” (Job 2:10). From this I see that no matter what great sufferings and tribulations Job encountered, even in the face of death, he could retain his integrity by faith and didn’t rebel against or resist God. Job’s faith is very admirable. However, I look at myself: Even though I have believed in the Lord for many years, my faith in the Lord is still very small. In my work and life, whenever encountering unhappy circumstances that harm my reputation and my interest, or suffering illness and tribulations, though I won’t say anything, I will still misunderstand and blame God in my heart, and just unable to obey. Only when I reflect on myself afterward can I see that my faith in God is truly pitiful, and is worlds away from Job’s. If God allows me to encounter trials in the future, with such faith how can I stand testimony to satisfy God? If I can’t, I will be Satan’s laughingstock, and I won’t gain God’s approval. So, how can I have true faith in the Lord? If brothers or sisters have any understanding of this, please fellowship with me. Thanks!

The way of faith:
Thank God! A grain of sand, the moment I entered the forum I saw your post. It’s really arranged by God. Previously, I had the same question as yours. But thanks to God’s guidance, and after I studied the Bible carefully, prayed earnestly, sought and fellowshiped together with my brothers and sisters, I got some understanding about how to have true faith. Now, I’d like to share it with you. And if the brothers and sisters interested in this post have any good understanding, please join us and communicate it together, so that we can learn from each other.
