ED 7/209
In which Ed decides to shoot the monkey.
I do love my SearchMonkey glass though - it's nice and heavy and has a handle. What's not to love?
And yes, I made Ed a hat.
Put this up because I remembered a picture of the old signage that apparently existed until about a week or two ago. I'm pretty sure all three or so of our Longs are rebranded as of now. This one probably won't last too long, because the new, smaller CVS is being built across the street... Right across from a new Rite Aid that will most likely house the one currently a mile or two north up McHenry Ave.
I saw this as I was fighting my way back home from work earlier Friday evening. Yes, I know it looks like crap, because:
1) I shot the picture with my cell phone camera, and...
2) I was shooting towards the setting sun.
Expect a better picture, most likely off the 5 MP Kodak within the next 2-3 days, in better lighting/time of day conditions. Oh, yeah, we're getting plenty of sun, in fact, we're in a fall heat wave right about now... Ugh.
Bangor bounce back against Portadown
by Roger Corbett
Determined to put their disappointing performance against Dundalk behind them, Bangor produced a patient display against Portadown to win by 17-10.
Last weekend had been a difficult one for both sides. Bangor were well and truly humbled by an exemplary performance by Dundalk, losing by the largest margin in recent years. For Portadown’s part, they travelled to Donaghadee only to be put to the sword by a merciless 46-0. Bangor needed the win today to show that still had what it takes to remain a powerful force in the league. Likewise, Portadown were hoping to stop the rot of several poor results and remain in contention for an all-important top four place, keeping alive their hopes to contest the All Ireland Junior Cup next season. With both sides fielding teams that reflected their growing injury lists, this had all the ingredients for an interesting and competitive encounter. Bangor had 6 changes from last weekend, the most notable being a 1st XV debut for David Caughey coming in for Freddie Black at second row.
Portadown kicked off with the wind at their backs, and for the first half hour of the game play was almost entirely held within the centre of the pitch, between the two twenty twos. Although Bangor were producing the more meaningful attacks, they suffered from knock-ons when tackled, and some miss-timed passes that went astray. On a positive note, the scrums looked solid and the line-outs showed signs of improvement. However, after 35 minutes a good Portadown break saw Bangor desperately defending their line. In the resulting series of defensive rucks, Bangor were eventually penalised and a yellow card was shown to Curtis Stewart. The stalemate was then broken on the stroke of half time when Bangor conceded another penalty, this time in front of their own posts. The straightforward kick was successful giving Portadown the narrowest of leads as the sides turned around at 0-3.
Now playing with the wind advantage, Bangor got the second half underway. However, it was Portadown who showed the early initiative, winning another penalty after 12 minutes of play. With the wind in their faces, the kick was pushed wide and Bangor were let of the hook. Bangor now started to lift their game and were showing signs of promise with characteristically good runs from Curtis Stewart and Davy Charles. The sustained pressure eventually paid off when Portadown conceded a penalty which Neil Cuthbertson successfully converted, levelling the scores at 3-3.
As the game entered the final quarter, Bangor were making better use of the wind than their opponents had in the first half. Although some kicks went too long, others provided just enough pressure on the Portadown defence to cause them problems. This is exactly what happened when a kick deep into Portadown’s twenty two looked like it might have been going long, but the Portadown full back decided to play it. However, he underestimated the flight of the ball and only managed to get his hands to it, slowing its progress to the goal area. Realising the danger of his actions, he tried to keep the ball in play and then clear up-field, but it overran and Bangor were awarded the 5 metre scrum. Finding themselves in one of their best attacking positions for some time, Bangor’s scrum proved too much for Portadown who were duly penalised. This hadn’t been the first offence of this nature, so the yellow card was shown to the offending Portadown player. Now with the extra man advantage in the scrum, Bangor set about the weakened Portadown pack, resulting in another collapsed scum. The referee, having just warned the Portadown players about the implications of such repeated offences, had no hesitation in awarding Bangor a penalty try under the posts. With the added conversion from Cuthbertson, Bangor were now ahead for the first time, by 10-3.
Bangor now started to look more relaxed, and were keeping play in Portadown’s half. After another 10 minutes, a Bangor scrum on the right hand wing resulted in quick ball to the back line. A long pass by Mark Thompson at out half missed the centres and went straight to Davy Charles, coming into the line from full back. With the Portadown defence trying to cover across, Charles had the pace to get through and dive over in the left hand corner for a try. The touchline kick by Cuthbertson was superbly judged, added the extras and extending Bangor’s lead to 17-3.
Although Bangor enjoyed further scoring opportunities, these came to nothing as poor passing saw the ball go to ground and the attack falter. Portadown, on the other hand, were anxious to come away with something to show for their efforts and mounted a late surge towards Bangor’s line. In the ensuing waves of attack, a series of penalties conceded by Bangor resulted in a yellow card for Charles. The combination of a quickly taken tap penalty and an out of shape Bangor defence, provided Portadown with enough space to dart through for a converted try, and earn a losing bonus point in the process, as the final score came to 17-10.
While this performance could hardly be described as champagne rugby, it still tasted good for Bangor to return to winning ways, and go some way to putting last week’s loss behind them. The mixture of old and new players worked well together, and demonstrates the depth in strength Bangor enjoy within their senior squad. With no match next week, the players and coaching staff have time to regroup and prepare for another ‘cup final’ game – this time against our closest neighbours and rivals, Donaghadee. With the Dee currently enjoying a purple patch and fighting for their survival in this league, and Bangor looking to maintain their hold at the top end of the table, this fixture promises to be an intriguing encounter.

I was playing Saints Row 2, and I um got my car stuck on top of this thing. I couldn't get it off, and all 4 wheels were off the ground. Photo credit goes to Kyle, who took this with his DSi.
Put in the daffodils and crocuses for the spring today and some lovely violas to last the winter through.
There was some lovely natural autumn light bringing out the lines in my skin.
Thought I'd put up a great random beer for those looking for something new to try.
It has various subtitled names, depending on the country you're in, like "Legendary Ruby Beer" (U.K.), "Dark English Ale" (U.S.), "Strong Dark Ale" (Australia?), "Imported Beer - Bière Importée" (Canada), etc.
Can you add to this list?
eurobrews.com (the U.S. importer) has a "history" of the brew and a decent description for those that are curious.
I put the Pygmalian Robin head on the Loongsoul body! And they worked! REALLY well! Then this wig worked and this outfit appeared from a drawer, and... well, I may end up keeping him as a new character. Not sure yet.
Put up the Batman pieces temporarily until i can get them framed to see how it would look. still need to pick up some more stuff next week.
I put these together and painted them back in the 90's. If i remember correctly they where a very basic click/snap together kit. They are approx 5 and a half inches or 140 mm long.
214/365 - Trying to take some photos for this contest I want to enter. It isn't going the way I thought it out in my head. Maybe it wasn't thought out well enough.
Once put in a set, these will make a nice slide show if you have the time to do it, a nice autumn walk in my general neighborhood! Set it for slide show, full screen, and you're there, with the sun shining through the trees! :-)
This set of photos was taken last Saturday morning, when the sun finally came out after days of rain, and the fall colors were in their glory. I'm so glad I got to get out then for a couple of hours, because next day the rains came again, and the winds, and that has continued on and off. The upshot is that we had about three days of the full display, when it wasn't raining or threatening rain, and now while there are many beautiful trees left, about half of them have had most of their leaves rained and blown off, and it looks a lot like November! :-( Mind you, I don't mind November, but I'd love to have had more October first!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this set, this day was truly gorgeous!
