Bangor bash Barban boys

On a perfect afternoon for rugby, Bangor maintained their good winning streak by recording another bonus point victory against Dromore, eventually winning by 38-17.
With Bangor and Dromore looking secure in 3rd and 4th places respectively in the league, this game could have been viewed as a dead fixture. However, with Dromore no doubt wanting to reverse their earlier defeat, and Bangor wanting to maximise their points tally, the game was certainly competitive.
Bangor got proceedings underway, playing into a slight breeze that was blowing diagonally across the pitch. From the outset, Dromore used this slight advantage to gain good ground through well taken positional kicks. However, were equally happy to run the ball back and produced several good attacks in reply. In fact the home side could have been a couple of scores up in the first quarter, but the ball didn’t run for them at the crucial moments. However, the breakthrough eventually came when the handling across the backs was crisp and secure, giving Neil Cuthbertson on the right wing the opportunity to stretch his legs and dive over in the corner for a well-taken try. The difficult kick was missed, but the scoreboard had started in Bangor’s favour by 5-0.
The next twenty minutes were almost a copy of the first quarter, with Bangor making most of the attacking opportunities, only to be thwarted by a stubborn Dromore defence. For Dromore’s part, they also had their chances, and came close from a kick through that Cuthbertson managed to shepherd into the goal area and get the resulting twenty two drop-out. However, a slack response by Bangor handed the initiative back to Dromore who, after several surges, managed to push over for their first try in the right hand corner, levelling the scores at 5-5 with just a minute or two left in the first half.
Bangor’s reply from the restart was immediate and in complete contrast to how they approached the previous drop-out. Mark Thompson’s kick hung in the breeze, allowing Jamie Clegg to leap for it and continue running at the static Dromore defence. He then passed inside to Jason Morgan who then passed again to Mike Weir at outside centre. Although Weir had the option of Cuthbertson on the wing, he fooled the Dromore defence and made a charge for the line, just managing to squeeze over in the right hand corner. The conversion was missed, making the score 10-5.
With 2 minutes of stoppage time having elapsed, there was just enough time for Dromore to restart once more. However, another apparent lapse in concentration by Bangor in securing and then clearing the ball, allowed Dromore to come straight back and score an opportunist try in the corner and level the points at 10-10. As the referee blew for half time, the home supporters were stunned, feeling their side should have been well in front by this time.
As the teams turned around, Bangor produced their now familiar second half surge. Within 5 minutes, a good break by James Henly was stopped just inside the Dromore twenty two. Although the ball went to ground, good support play by Curtis Stewart saw him pick up and run through to score under the posts. Cuthbertson’s kick was good, and Bangor were back in front by 17-10.
An injury to full back Chris Morgan resulted in changes to both the forward and backs line-up, with Adam Rushe coming off the bench to take James Henly’s wing forward position, allowing Henly to move to outside centre, and moving Mike Weir to full back as a result. There followed a brief period of settling to this new structure, before Bangor struck again. Seeing a flat Dromore defence ahead of him, Jason Morgan chipped over their heads and began the chase for the line. The ball bounced favourably for him, and he just managed to gather and touch down ahead of the nearest defender. The kick was successful extending the lead to 24-10, and now with the additional bonus point.
Although Dromore maintained their own pressure, it was Bangor who were calling most of the shots. Just 7 minutes later, the ball went wide to Mark Widdowson on the left wing whose pace and footwork left several Dromore players floundering, before darting through to score under the posts. The addition of the simple conversion brought the score to 31-10.
With only 5 minutes remaining, Dromore produced a late push and brought play deep into Bangor’s twenty two. Although Dromore won their scrum close to Bangor’s line, it looked like Bangor had the attack covered. However a defensive mix-up left a gap that provided a simple run through for Dromore to score beside the posts. With the successful conversion, the gap had closed to 31-17.
Obviously annoyed by this mistake, Bangor came back at Dromore, forcing the visitors to concede a penalty inside their twenty two. Spurning the kick at goal, Thompson kicked for touch and an attacking line-out. With the ball safely won, Bangor started to drive forward, but the strong Dromore pack held it up. However, the ball was quickly recycled by Ricky Armstrong to Mark Thompson, who then passed to Jason Morgan who pushed off his tackler to score the final try of the day and, with the conversion, bring the final score to 38-17.
This was a good day for North Down sides playing Mid Down opposition. Bangor’s success against Dromore was matched by neighbours Donaghadee who produced an inspired performance to beat Ballynahinch 2nds and earn a place in this year’s Towns Cup final as a result – congratulations to all.
Bangor’s final fixture in this year’s league is away to Cooke next Saturday. The weekend is then topped off on Sunday afternoon with what should be a highly entertaining game between the Perennials and a Bangor Select XV. With several familiar faces from seasons past, this is sure to be a fun event, and one to come along and enjoy.

300 Students and workers march through Birmingham City Centre and 60 occupy the council chambers at Birmingham City Council for over 4 hours. Remaining protesters maintained a public protest outside the building to ensure the action was visible to a busy market square. Protests remained peaceful throughout the day.
The action in Birmingham today took place against a back from of what was the 3rd national day of action by students. It was a day of revolt—across Britain, from Dundee to Bournemouth, young people rose up against the attacks on education. The protest named X2 following day X on the 24th November and the 50, 000 NUS/UCU protest on the 10th of November.
These protests are a revolt against £9,000 university fees, the closing off of universities to all but the rich, and the abolition of the EMA allowance that 16-18 year olds rely on to go to college. But it was also about the way the Tories are ripping up people’s futures.
From the beginning of the occupations messages of solidarity flooded in from trade union representatives all over the city representing some of the most vulnerable members of the public and public sector workers under attack from the cuts including UNISON, PCS and UCU unions.
These included support workers, council workers and civil servants, support staff, teachers and lecturers in education, Connexions youth workers faced with job cuts and cuts to the services for the most vulnerable young people in Birmingham. Refugees and migrant workers will see a massive cut in legal aid, what little there is between what can mean life and death for those that are already exploited and degraded in the most appalling ways.
A statement from PCS Union representing over 300,000 civil servants said “Student protests against the attacks on education are inspirational to the rest of us. This is part of a concerted attack by this government to take away people’s rights to education, work, welfare, healthcare, housing and more. The question ultimately is: who pays for the crisis? It is clear that students should not pay for it, and it’s clear the public sector workers shouldn’t either. We should be unified in demanding that those who cause the crisis should pay for it. Keep up the fight, we can win.”
The student action was providing them inspiration and hope that there is an alternative to the CON-DEM cuts which would wreck the lives of millions.
Day X2 and day X has showed that the angry march and the occupation of Tory headquarters on 10 November was not a one-off event and there were as many if not more people involved each time.
Tens of thousands of students, especially school students, took to the streets. These school students know universities are being closed off to them by soaring fees. They know the cuts mean that only a few will get more than low-paid jobs.

St Peter's Church at Dunton in Norfolk is now maintained by the Norfolk Churches Trust due to a great contraction in the agricultural population of the county since 1918 - increasing mechanisation and the lure of the big city is blamed.
In 1305 the village was 'Doketon' and it appears the present building was rebuilt at that date, probably on the site of a Saxo/Norman church. A little of the earlier church may remain at the base of the south nave wall. It would appear that the earlier church had thicker walls. The patron of the church in 1305 was Sir Thomas de Hauville whose ancestors had held the manor since the reign of Henry II. A Hugh de Hauville was a falconer for King John in 1205 with the king ordering that de Hauville should have first pick of any hawks or gyr-falcons brought into England from Scandinavia.
When the Black Death arrived in 1349 the village was hit hard - church records show three rectors of the church died that year. The death toll among the villagers is unrecorded but would have been around 40 to 60%. Often the only remaining indication of its progress is the recorded death of priests.
The tower is 15th century, as are most of the Perpendicular windows. but one window on the south side of the chancel is about 100 years earlier (Decorated period) along with the nearby priest's door. There is one bell in the tower, dated 1794, by an unknown bell founder.
The chancel arch is 14th century with a surviving original rood loft staircase in the north wall. This latter was put back into use - in 1910 - when a new rood screen was built in memory of John Long and his wife Elizabeth (nee Beck). He founded the auctioneers Long and Beck in Fakenham, still trading but now known as Beck's. The font is square and older than the present building so may be a survivor from the earlier church.
Major William Case is memorialised on the chancel wall for his death at Lucknow in India during the Indian Mutiny of 1857. There is some attractive glass, mostly Victorian.

These included support workers, council workers and civil servants, support staff, teachers and lecturers in education, Connexions youth workers faced with job cuts and cuts to the services for the most vulnerable young people in Birmingham. Refugees and migrant workers will see a massive cut in legal aid, what little there is between what can mean life and death for those that are already exploited and degraded in the most appalling ways.
A statement from PCS Union representing over 300,000 civil servants said “Student protests against the attacks on education are inspirational to the rest of us. This is part of a concerted attack by this government to take away people’s rights to education, work, welfare, healthcare, housing and more. The question ultimately is: who pays for the crisis? It is clear that students should not pay for it, and it’s clear the public sector workers shouldn’t either. We should be unified in demanding that those who cause the crisis should pay for it. Keep up the fight, we can win.”
The student action was providing them inspiration and hope that there is an alternative to the CON-DEM cuts which would wreck the lives of millions.
Day X2 and day X has showed that the angry march and the occupation of Tory headquarters on 10 November was not a one-off event and there were as many if not more people involved each time.
Tens of thousands of students, especially school students, took to the streets. These school students know universities are being closed off to them by soaring fees. They know the cuts mean that only a few will get more than low-paid jobs.

Since I have so many dolls on display, I thought it would be useful if I filmed a bit of a my dusting/maintaining process. I'm fortunate enough that my doll displays do not accumulate dust all that quickly (with the exception of a few shelves). While it is a very time consuming process, being that I have so many dollies on display, it is well worth it. Whether you are displaying ten dolls or a thousand, it is important to make sure they are well looked after, because dust, dander, and dry rotting hair elastics can do damage to dolls over time. I began filming the first part of this video in August. But because I was so busy, I didn't actually get around to filming the ending until this month (which is why there is a huge time gap).

The Walker River is a river in west central Nevada in the United States, approximately 62 miles (100 km) long. It drains an arid portion of the Great Basin southeast of Reno, with a watershed that extends into the Sierra Nevada mountains. It flows within an enclosed basin. Due to excessive diversions, it no longer provides the principal inflow of Walker Lake. It does flow through and maintain Topaz Lake (West Fork). The river was named for explorer Joseph Reddeford Walker. Its average discharge is about 360 cubic feet per second (10 m3/s).
The river was probably discovered by Hudson's Bay Company fur trapper Peter Skene Ogden, who discovered the Humboldt River in 1828 and returned in 1829 to trap beaver south of the Humboldt Sink, although records are scant. In 1833, Joseph R. Walker led a party sent by Captain Benjamin Bonneville, to find a route from the Great Salt Lake to California via the Humboldt River, the Humboldt Sink, the Carson Sink, and then up into the Sierra Nevada by either the Carson River or the Walker River to near the headwaters of the Merced River and thence down to the San Joaquin River. John Charles Fremont named Walker Lake after the trapper and the United States Geographic Board named the river after Walker in its Fifth Report.
The Walker River is formed in southern Lyon County, 9 mi (11 km) south of Yerington, by the confluence of the East Walker and West Walker rivers; the East Walker is regulated by the Bridgeport Reservoir, while the West Walker comes directly from snowmelt. It flows initially north past Yerington into central Lyon County, where it turns sharply to the southeast, flowing through the Walker River Indian Reservation past Schurz. It almost enters the northern end of Walker Lake, along the east side of the Wassuk Range, approximately 20 mi (32 km) NNW of Hawthorne.
The Walker River's endorheic drainage basin covers an area of 12,800 sq mi (33,000 km2).
Most of the streamflow is consumed by irrigation before reaching Walker Lake. The diversions have caused the level of Walker lake to drop by 140 ft (42 m) between 1882 and 1994. The eastern branch of the river is one of the last natural trout fisheries in California.

Genome dynamics and stability are the ne plus ultra requirements for cellular life. No matter whether life began with metabolism, with self-replicating genetic molecules, or as a cooperative chemical phenomenon, all cells and viruses maintain a genome capable of multiplication, variation and heredity. A population of living entities with these properties will evolve by natural selection, and while modern metabolism supplies the monomers from which genomes (i.e. replicators) are made, genomes alter the kinds of chemical reactions occurring in metabolism (Maynard Smith and Szathmary 1997). This book deals with DNA repair and replication. Together with two other planned volumes,one on transposable elements and genome dynamics and another on recombination and meiosis as a key issue of the metazoan germline development, this volume introduces the conceptual frame work of the series. An earlier review on the classic monograph Mobile DNA (Berg and Howe 1989) was entitled“On the Impossibility of Knowing More. ”It states:“This big book indeed tells us everything but says nothing. It provides no conceptual framework as to what the burgeoning bulk of molecular data means, not out of intent but because it is swept along by an attitude found increasingly in science of ‘never mind the quality, feel the width’ ... the book is essentially uninformative regarding the biological importance of transposable elements in ontogeny and phylogeny” (Dover 1990). The present book series tries to circumvent such criticism. Of course, there have been milder opinions of the monumental Mobile DNA book as well (Brookfield 1989; Fincham 1989). Actually, the 2002 publication of its successor Mobile DNA II (Craig et al. 2002) impressively demonstrates the swift progress int his significant research field, which now not only largely addresses questions of evolutionary relevance but pragmatically feeds additional knowledge applied in human gene therapy or helps to understand the somatic maturation of the immune system by V(D)J recombination. The latter actually demonstrates the closeness of transposable element transposition to DNA repair as the V(D)J recombination reaction is completed by the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) DNA repair pathway in lymphocyte development where the DNA double-strand break (DSB) is generated through the transposase (i.e. endonuclease) activity of an ancient transposable element. This transposon inserted into an ancestral vertebrate genome some 450 million years ago(Yuetal.1999). In line with this important interface between a vertebrate transposon and DSB repair, the second chapter of Part II of this book reports on asimilar relationship of the Drosophila P elements triggering DSBs and facilitating the understanding of the mechanisms of replication-dependent DSB repair. Other molecularly fossilized but experimentally revitalized transposable elements which promise to be o fbiomedical relevance are planned for an upcoming book volume. As Carl Woese recently said, it seems to be about time that biology makes a choice between the comfortable path of continuing to follow molecular biology’s lead or the more refreshing one seeking a new and inspiring vision of the living world (Woese 2004). To accomplish this is my goal with the book series Genome Dynamics and Stability, where this first volume is dedicated to integrative aspects of replication and DNA repair providing an overview of some facets and perspectives of genome integrity. DNA integrity is relevant for all organisms, and therefore it opens avenues of curiosity ranging from viroids in applied plant research to grasping biodiversity. This vision however must include pragmatic aspects of biomedical relevance as well. The book at hand is entitled Genome Integrity: Facets and Perspectives. It contains a rather broad spectrum of chapters representing key aspects of DNA repair with a slight bias towards DSB repair as justified by its importance. Actually, every chapter is self-sufficient and could serve as an independent entry point to the whole book. The sequence chosen starts with three chapters introducing replication as a fundamental aspect of life. Here, the first chapter gives a general introduction to replication worth to be read by undergraduate students as well as academics, while the second chapter attempts to present a concept towards an anatomy of the eukaryotic replication fork. The third chapter adds the aspect of human diseases to the two more fundamental aspects in Part I. Replication is then linked by two interface-chapters in Part II to the world of DSB repair. The second chapter of Part II first reviews the history of the discovery of the physical nature of the gene and gene mutations. Exploiting gene targeting as an experimental, technical pillar, it attempts to compose the different models of DSB repair into a unifying synthesis. This joins Part II with four key aspects of DSB repair representing Part III. These four key aspects review the structure and function of the Rad50/SMC protein complexes in chromosome biology, further focus on the simplest pathway for DSB repair, i.e. non-homologous endjoining (NHEJ), and focus on a central gatekeeper crucial to avoiding cancer development, i.e. p53, and the most complex role of chromatin in DSB repair. The chapter on DNA base damage recognition in Part IV introduces DNA repair pathways involving one-strand lesions and their pleiotropic interactions with cell physiological functions, such as cell cycle, apoptosis and examples of major human diseases. While DSBs can be triggered and their repair can be studied at precisely defined positions on nucleotide level within a given chromosome, DNA damage introduced through radiation and other genotoxic stress factors follows a slightly different research lead. This is the common theme of the four chapters in Part IV. Ion irradiation as a tool to reveal tracts of damage throughout the eukaryote nucleus reminds us of cloud or Wilson chamber experiments in atomic physics detecting elementary particles of ionizing radiation. Here, in the final chapter of Part V, the tract of damage in a cloud of chromatin is monitored using antibodies to proteins characteristic of specific DNA repair pathways, as discussed in the last chapter of Part III. The four final chapters are important for many reasons, ranging from a significance for irradiation treated cancer patients, or victims of the Chernobyl disaster to the exposure to cosmic radiation of astronauts on long-term space missions. The original idea forthis book came from the 8thmeeting of the DNA Repair Network in Ulm, Germany, and would not have been possible without the support of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für DNA-Reparaturforschung (DGDR). Here I would like to mention especially Jürgen Thomale, Alexander Bürkle, Lisa Wiesmüller, Bernd Kaina and Friederike Eckardt-Schupp, who supported the initial idea and acted in the background.Further I would like to thank the anonymous referees for doing a great job in peer reviewing and improving the manuscripts. I also thank the University of Heidelberg, which gave access to their electronic journal collection. Last but not least, I have to thank Sabine Schreck (Springer, Heidelberg) without whom I could never have engaged in this project. Ursula Gramm(Springer,Heidelberg) and Michael Reinfarth (LETeXGbR, Leipzig) did a fine job copye diting all manuscripts and the Springer team succeeded well in establishing the SpringerLink OnlineFirst version of this bookseries, which provides authors withmore flexibility in the individual handling of their contributions.
1848. Active (maintained by City of Biloxi) The keeper's houses were destroyed by Hurricane Camille in 1969. This is the second-oldest cast iron lighthouse in the U.S. The tower interior was restored in 1990, but the tower was closed in 2002 due to safety concerns. In August 2003, a consultant's report recommended resumption of tours with certain safety restrictions. The tower had been scheduled to reopen in the fall of 2005, but the destruction of most of the city of Biloxi by Hurricane Katrina put these plans on indefinite hold. The day after the hurricane, someone fastened a flag to the gallery rail as shown below. The flag continues to fly there, as seen at the top of this page, as a symbol of the city's determination to rebuild. Although the lighthouse survived the hurricane, its interior brick lining was damaged and requires extensive repair. Although federal funds will be available for this work, there has been a lengthy period of planning and negotiation, and work had not begun as of early 2008. Meanwhile, the city has bought land across the street, where the hurricane destroyed all the structures, for a lighthouse park and visitor center. Work on that facility should begin by early 2009. The lighthouse stands in the median of US 90 at the foot of Porter Street in Biloxi, just west of the I-110 interchange.

Red Rocks Park is a mountain park in Jefferson County, Colorado, owned and maintained by the city of Denver as part of the Denver Mountain Parks system. The park is known for its very large red sandstone boulders. Many of these formations within the park have names, from the mushroom-shaped Seat of Pluto to the inclined Cave of the Seven Ladders.
The most visited rocks, around the amphitheater, are Creation Rock to the north, Ship Rock to the south, and Stage Rock to the east.
The rocks were formed about 290-296 million years ago when the Ancestral Rocky Mountains were eroded during the Pennsylvanian epoch. Later, uplift during the Laramide orogeny tilted the rocks to the angle at which they sit today.
The park was in times far past a favored campsite of the Ute tribe. Its earliest known name was the Garden of the Angels, reputedly given to it on July 4, 1870 by Martin Van Buren Luther, a pioneer Colorado judge. It was renamed Garden of the Titans in 1906 by famed editor John Brisben Walker when he purchased the place with proceeds from his sale of Cosmopolitan Magazine. Known however by the folk name of Red Rocks since the area was settled, it was formally given that name when Denver acquired it in 1928.
Within the park boundaries is the Red Rocks Amphitheater, a world famous venue used for over a century, which hosts many concerts and other events.

The Emblem of Bhutan maintains several elements of the flag of Bhutan, with slightly different artistry, and contains much Buddhist symbolism.
The official description is as follows:
"The national emblem, contained in a circle, is composed of a double diamond-thunderbolt (dorje) placed above a lotus, surmounted by a jewel and framed by two dragons. The thunderbolt represents the harmony between secular and religious power. The lotus symbolizes purity; the jewel expresses sovereign power; and the two dragons, male and female, stand for the name of the country which they proclaim with their great voice, the thunder." It's also known for its symbolic colors of the emblem with the gold, teal, red
