Ipswich 3-0 Wolverhampton
Ipswich survived an early onslaught, including a missed penalty by Freddy Eastwood, to rack up a tenth successive home win and move into the play-off places.
The visitors will feel hard done by as they could easily have been a goal or two up early on, but once Ipswich got a foothold in the game, they rarely looked like letting it slip.
Strike pairing Alan Lee and Pablo Counago scored in a ten-minute spell either side of half-time and substitute Danny Haynes sealed the points with a third in stoppage time.
Wolves looked to have made the best possible start when Fabian Wilnis left a back-pass to goalkeeper Neil Alexander short, Michael Kightly nipped in and Alexander clipped him to concede a spot-kick.
However, Eastwood's stuttering run-up didn't fool the home keeper, who made his second penalty save of the week by diving to his right to beat away the Wales international's poor effort.
Still Wolves continued to pour forward, but Ipswich steadily worked their way into the game and Sylvain Legwinski was only narrowly off target with a glancing header from an Owen Garvan cross.
Wayne Hennessey fielded a couple of tame Counago shots before being beaten on 42 minutes when Garvan's through ball played in Lee who held off Jody Craddock's challenge before curling the ball beyond the keeper with the outside of his boot.
Alexander gathered a Karl Henry shot at the second attempt and made a better save from a Jay Bothroyd piledriver, palming the strike up in the air and then grabbing it right on the line as Eastwood closed in.
Wolves sent on Mark Little and Matthew Jarvis for Craddock and Eastwood respectively at the break, but it was the hosts who started the period the stronger.
Garvan and Lee went close for Town, before, on 52 minutes, a quick Jon Walters throw was collected by Counago and the Spaniard tricked his way beyond Darren Ward before slamming past Hennessey.
Wolves tried to rally and Bothroyd had the ball in the net from a Seyi Olofinjana cross but was well offside, before Town almost added a third when Counago slid in to meet Billy Clarke's cross but fired wide.
After that, Town held on pretty comfortably, and looked far more likely to score again themselves with Legwinski's volley clipping the bar from 20 yards before Haynes sealed it with a clever breakaway goal in stoppage time.
Ipswich's run of home successes is now the joint second best in their history, with only the 15 home wins in a row by Sir Bobby Robson's 1980-81 side now above the current team's achievement.

Terra was jumping off the dock and I said
"Here, jump of again and let me take a picture of you." She said ok and tried twirling to face me. Cool, huh?
Haven't been able to really test the new camera 'cause conditions have been bad for shooting anything lately-it's been hotter than hell and not a cloud in the sky. I went to the beach to try shooting shorebirds and fog was rolling in, completely enveloping the beach. Sunsets have been boring. So I went out and just goofed off while my s/o was mountain biking. This was taken at an open space park (is that a Southern California thing or what?). Anyway, this was the best I could do given what I had to work with!

San Diego Photo Forum photo shoot. We had kind of a Mad Max theme for this event.
North Shore Yacht Club
Salton Sea
The Yacht Club is actually no longer abandoned as a $3.5 renovation project is in progress. By the end of 2009, the building will reopen as a community and visitor center.
Welcome to Tuesday.
You are welcome to it.
And something exciting happening later, but for now, there is the usual, get up, get dressed, drink coffee and be ready for work at seven.
Jools wasn't going swimming, so she had a shower then got dressed before heading off just before seven.
When we looked out the back of the house, the sky was black with cloud, except for a small band of clear sky just above the trees on the other side of the valley, and in that gap was the blood red sliver of the waning moon.
And was then gone.
And so with Cleo watching on, I set up the office.
I learn that Denmark at two inches of snow and is still very cold. We actually are due to have sunshine, though ten degrees cooler than a week before.
Now the interesting bit.
At the end of the Deal Road into Dover, is the Duke of York's roundabout with the Duke of York's pub behind it. Why'd they have that name?
Well, behind both is the Duke of York's Military School, a huge site stretching from here to Fort Bergoyne, then to Guston. The school was founded here in 1909 and was a place where the children of military personnel were taught while their parents were posted, probably overseas.
It is still 100% for boarders, but no longer under the control of the MOD, but has a strong military ethic. I'm not going to judge.
Anyway.
The project to photograph Kent churches is mainly for parish church, but if I can get to see otheres: RC, Baptist or whatever, I'll take it.
Last September, for the first time, The Duke of Yorks Military School took part in Heritage Weekend. Sadly, I found out too late to get on a tour, but I struck up e mail correspondence with the organiser and he agreed that I could come and take shots.
Clashes of dates meant that I had to wait two months, but today was the day, and weather full of low winter sunshine. Although shadows inside were very striking.
The school was built here when it moved from Chelsea in 1909, designed by Sir Henry Tanner in the "Hampstead Garden Suburb" style. The entire complex is pretty much of all the same date and style, with the exception of two newer academic buildings.
Focal point is the large clock tower, which has just been renovated.
The chapel has several war memorials dedicated to pupils who gave their lives for their country.
I was met at reception after driving round the ring road past the athletics track and several of the boarding houses. I was met by the guy I had been writing to, he guessed I was Ian as I was laden with camera gear.
The chapel was on the other side of the road, and is a fine example of early 20th century design, the rest of the school is all of a similar style too.
He lets me get on with my task of taking shots, while he tells me some of the history of the school and chapel.
It is very well maintained, with a fairly new rood, but the rest is original and very well kept.
I took a 100 shots or so, said thanks and was gone, all in under an hour.
I went to Tesco to buy unch and came away with: a turkey and stuffing sandwich, a spicy bean wrap and a pack of spicy paprika crisps. Don't shop when you're hungry, kids.
Back home for lunch and back to work, where not much had happened.
On the tellybox at the same time as working, Saudi beat Argentina 2-1 after being a goal down.
Football, eh?
And then two dull 0-0 draws, so once work was done, I decided to go out for a walk.
Not far, just up and down the four streets in the estate, nearly 6,000 steps.
Feeing better.
We had warmed through stuffed peppers again for dinner, and were again totes amazeballs.
As was the wine.
And there was time for one more game to watch as music played on the cat's whiskers.
Phew.

It should be open again in September 2023 for Heritage Day.

In 1801, His Royal Highness Frederick Duke of York laid the foundation stone in Chelsea of what was to become The Duke of York's Royal Military School, a school for the children of military personnel which opened in 1803. Then in 1909, the school relocated to its present site in Dover, Kent and in 2010, we became the first full state boarding academy, opening our doors to any family wishing to choose this unique and iconic school for their child’s secondary education.

San Diego DSLR Photo Group - Belmont Park Night Shoot:
I don't know if the parrot was pissed-off or not but he definitely showed a lot of attitude for this shot. Some guy had this bird and a blue-green parrot hanging out on the boardwalk near Belmont Park.
Ruby was very happy and was looking forward to Tea with Sparrow and his mum, she even took some cakes that Maddie had made earlier.
''Now, I am going to remember my manners, and not talk with my mouth full, and try to not talk too much, anyway, Sparrow has many interesting things I like to hear about so I don't want to miss that, bye then, see you later'
Ruby said as she cheerfully left to go next door
