Bangor RFC v Donaghadee restart catch
Crushing win against the Dee
by Roger Corbett
In a keenly anticipated local derby, Donaghadee briefly took the lead by 3-8, until Bangor produced what is becoming something of a trademark in turning the game around, and responded with a further 53 unanswered points to win convincingly by 56-8.
The sun certainly shone on Upritchard Park on Saturday – our final corporate lunch of the season, glorious playing conditions, the earlier loss to Donaghadee avenged with style, and the 6 Nations secured in Paris. Also among the large crowd of spectators who lined the touchlines were Ulster stars Craig Gilroy and Mike McComish. With the pitch in perfect condition, and the weather conditions glorious, the scene was set for a great afternoon’s sport.
Like Bangor the week before, Donaghadee were catching up with their fixtures, and this marked their third game in 8 days. However, nobody would have thought it as they took the game to Bangor straight from the kick-off. Within a couple of minutes, they had forced a penalty in front of Bangor’s posts, which was successfully converted. However, this was soon cancelled out when the Dee conceded a penalty which Mark Thompson kicked to level the scores at 3-3 after just 6 minutes.
Worryingly for Bangor, the Dee back line were working well together and finding gaps through the centre of play. With 16 minutes gone, the Dee continued to press forward having once again broken through the Bangor line. Some slick passing from right to left found the Dee winger who ran in to score the first try of the day in the left hand corner and, with the conversion missed, re-take the lead by 3-8.
Having let the earlier game at Donaldson Park get too far away from them, Bangor knew that a quick response was needed. Most of the following play was in the Donaghadee twenty two, with Bangor patiently building their attacking platform. Although several waves were repelled by a stubborn Dee defence, persistence finally paid off when Andrew Jackson was driven over the line to score and level the scores once again.
Another successful penalty, this time by Neil Cuthbertson, put Bangor narrowly in front by 11-8 as the first half drew to a close.
One often wonders what magic words (or otherwise) are conjured up in the team huddle at half time. It may sound simple, but when play resumes Bangor appear to have identified the problems of the first half, and put together a plan to correct these in the second. As the Dee re-started the game, it is unlikely that their half time talk prepared them for what was to come.
Having immediately raised the tempo, an early Bangor attack was halted by the Dee centre killing the ball, and earning a yellow card as a result. From the penalty and subsequent line-out that followed, the well-proven ‘catch and drive’ was put to good effect, with Jamie Clegg getting the ball down in the right hand corner. The kick was missed, making the score 16-8.
At this early stage in the second half, the game was still wide open. Donaghadee’s big forwards worked hard in both the set pieces and rucks, but the positional kicking was not always as effective. On one such occasion, the high ball was safely taken in the Bangor twenty two by Richard Corbett who brought play infield before passing to Jason Morgan in the centre. Having then split the Dee back line with a great injection of pace, Morgan passed to full back Josh Devitt who had the simplest of runs to score under the posts. With Cuthbertson adding the extras, Bangor’s lead had stretched to 23-8.
It took just another 3 minutes to add a fourth try, and with it the bonus point. Once again, the move started deep in Bangor territory, with Mark Widdowson jinking his way towards the 10 metre line. Although well tackled, he managed to off-load to Morgan who advanced the move towards the Dee twenty two. Although Morgan’s path to the line was blocked, he made a well-timed pass outside to Curtis Stewart who came steaming up the left wing to score. The conversion was missed, but in the space of 10 minutes, Bangor had secured the bonus point and taken complete control as their lead was now 28-8.
As some Dee heads started to drop, and with a quarter of the game remaining, Bangor now went for the jugular. Another good combination of ball-handling and support play saw Morgan rewarded for his hard work, gathering a pop pass by Mike Weir to score under the posts. Jackson recorded his second try of the day 5 minutes later, rounding off a great move started by Ricky Armstrong, and then powerfully taken on by James Henly, before rounding the last defender to score. A further 5 minutes elapsed before Morgan got his second try, courtesy of an excellent run down the left wing by prop Phil Whyte. The rout was completed by Devitt who intercepted a loose Dee pass in his own twenty two before running the length of the pitch to top off a sparkling performance. With Cuthbertson converting all these tries, the final score had leapt to a comprehensive 56-8 victory.
This was another great Bangor performance that completely justified the final result. For the Dee, this may just have been a game too far in such a short period. However, on current form, Bangor have shown themselves to be a force to contend with, and with just 2 more league games remaining, will want to maintain this form and finish hard on Portadown’s heels. For Donaghadee’s part, their recent run of good results has placed them safely in the middle of the table, and their focus now will be on a testing Towns Cup semi-final at Ballynahinch. It would be fair to say that despite our close rivalry, we at Bangor wish them every success.

Here's the device I started out with. You're supposed to twirl it over
your head and the blinking LEDs form letters. By the way, the unit I used is called The Skyliner.
One problem remained. The buttons needed to be held in place over the
main chip. This is when the idea to put the components in a golf ball
box arose.
Siggi had two teams with four Greenland Huskies in each team. They were wonderful dogs and Siggi is such a champion. His sled was 80kg which put him another league than me for instance with my 11kg sled. Still he finished close to the other teams and had a big smile on the whole time. True athletes, all of them!
Persistence pays off. I overnighted in Oregon in order to try again for the Burrowing Owls early in the morning. Easy to find so early in the morning. Also, later in the season, they get mobbed by Brewer's Blackbirds. So I took too many photos...
Finally! The components were extracted from the traditional case by
breaking a couple soldered joints and applying some carefully placed
force.
Persistence did not pay off for some LaRouche followers who were yap-yapping about how LaRouche can save the universe from the Baby Boomers, and how only he can save us all from imminent economic disaster – oh – and yeah – he will impeach Cheney too by the way.
I stopped to point out the Cheney-doings of Patrick Fitzgerald the United States attorney in Chicago.
This lady answered, "Who's Pat Fitzgerald?"

Fred D. Gusman M.S.W., Executive Director of The California Transition Center for Care of Combat Veterans - The Pathway Home, is an internationally recognized expert educator, clinician, mentor, program administrator and developer, and consultant in the field of traumatic stress. His expertise is derived from over three decades of clinical experience dedicated to those who have served in combat and their families. Mr. Gusman was the founder and director of the first V.A. Combat Trauma Residential treatment program in the United States (January 1978). Throughout the years, his dedication and persistence to reach out to those who have served with compassion and with a "Can Do" attitude has helped thousands of our country's warriors improve their quality of life. Mr. Gusman and number of his staff deployed from California to the Pentagon's Family Assistance Center within hours of the
911 attack. Soon after our country was at war, Mr. Gusman provided clinical expertise to military installations throughout U.S. It was because of his exposure to these warriors that he was inspired to challenge current health care systems to prepare and to revamp their clinical service in order to meet the complex needs of those who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mr. Gusman is pioneer in the field of trauma and in the past has demonstrated his dedication to our country's new warriors by leaving a successful career in VA to develop a unique non-profit treatment center for those who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress and other war related problems such as Traumatic Brain Injury. The Pathway Home has been recognized as a best practice model treatment center that not only addresses our country's warriors' (Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard and recently discharge Veterans ) needs, but the needs of their families as well.

Assignment: Create a photo that represents the idea of immortality.
Immortality...I thought about sunlight and other preconceived images and held them in my mind's eye, like a shopping list. I then went looking for an image to match the construct in my mind. So glad I was open to seeing something I didn't expect.
Other paths to immortality depart from here:
During our visit to the Dali Museum (One Dali Blvd., St. Petersburg), I took photos of some of the oil paintings on display. This work is titled The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory.
A few details on this painting according to the museum's website:
The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory
Salvador Dalí
1952-54
Oil on canvas
This painting features one of Dali's most popular images, the melting watch. In 1931, Dali painted his first melting watch. He said he was inspired one hot day while working in his studio when he noticed some runny Camembert cheese.
To Dali, the oozing cheese resembled a melting watch, so immediately he painted three melting watches on his canvas, capturing the public’s imagination for succeeding generations.
It is not clear why these melting watches are so startling and memorable, but they do suggest several powerful associations. They illustrate how time can be fluid, as in a dream. But a more essential and threatening association concerns our dependence upon clocks. The world runs by the clock – scheduling events is essential for life to function normally. If clocks melt, time becomes meaningless, and there is no way to control activities, leading to chaos.
Looking across the painting, what do you see? There are several images suggesting chaos, including the ocean fragmenting into atomic bits, its skin-like edge lifted to reveal a fish fluorescing. Yet there are other images that suggest continuity as well, particularly in the details of Dali's beloved Port Lligat landscape. Other questions arise – is the image disintegrating, or is it an expression of continuity? Is time interrupted, or is it fluid and elastic? Looking beneath the ocean's surface, do you discover disintegration or order? Dali leaves the answers to the viewer.
The motion sensor is a small spring that makes contact with a metal
ring around it when the device is in motion, and can shut off the LED
array if no motion is detected.
Essa foi a imagem usada para ilustrar o meu último videozinho de animação, feito com a parceira de Camila Torres.
Foi um trabalho de aprendizado e de descoberta. As falhas pode deixar que os próprios produtores já se cansaram de apontar, mas na época em que foi feito não teria como ter sido diferente mesmo, então temos é que curtir seus pequenos méritos =) Passou até no Vitória Cine Vídeo, por incrível que pareça!!

If Mister Feet isn't on the ground, it stands to reason that he must be up in the air!
I'm so mean, I perched Mister Feet in the nut feeder to get Ashley to cooperate for this shot. He was just out of reach and out of frame, lol.
