The aprobane Elephant Polo Club (TEPC) proudly hosted the Ceylon Elephant Polo Association (CEPA) championships
Following the famous inaugural CEPA victory of Chivas Regal,WEPA over
Sri Lanka,CEPA in February 2001, Geoffrey Dobbs, President of CEPA and the TEPC once again hosted the 2nd ever CEPA 'Taprobane Trophy Tournament' between March 1-3, 2002.
The event this year saw a dramatic increase in participating teams from 2 to 6, with the new additions to Chivas Regal and Sri Lanka being Thailand, Hong Kong, England, and a glamorous international ladies team known as 'The Ladyloves', captained by international celebrity party planner Miss Sophie Lillingston.
The Weligama to Galle tourism coconut corridor had never seen it so good since before the Tamil Tiger times - with villas and hotels alike booked up by international elephant polo celebrities, their roving followers and Elephant Owners' Associations from across the board. The event was robustly supported by both The Ministry for Tourism and The Sri Lankan Elephant Owners' Association.
ELEPHANT POLO Highlights of CEPA 2002 were undoubtedly:
THE FIRST EVER HOME VICTORY for the TAPROBANE ELEPHANT POLO CLUB, representing the island paradise of Sri Lanka. They beat England 7-0 in a final threatened only by the rising tide, with ex-Argentian pro Dominic Moynihan scoring 5 goals on rookie star elephant 'GERALD' in the first of the two chukkas.
Despite a gallant rearguard effort by England star Chris Walker (Wiltshire), Sri Lanka wrapped up the Taprobane Trophy with 2 second chukka goals by Moynihan and his team captain and CEPA host, Geoffrey Dobbs - Dobbs scoring possibly the slowest non-assist goal in WEPA history after 3 minutes and 12 seconds of chaos in the England defensive 'D'.
CHIVAS REGAL GOLDEN GOAL AWARD went to Dominic Moynihan for his 30 yard acute angled, under the trunk effort in the first game of CEPA 2002 against a plucky but inexperienced Hong Kong defense. Chris Stafford, captain of Thailand, nearly pulled off the goal of the century from a goal hit against Chivas Regal - missing the Chivas goal by 3 inches in their tense opening encounter of League B.
THE GAME OF THE TOURNAMENT was undoubtedly that between CHIVAS REGAL and ENGLAND - the old foes from Great Britain. Having lost the crucial toss and been given the faster 'A-String' elephants for the first chukka of this massive semi-final affair, Chivas Regal desperately needed to leverage the 'GERALD' factor and score more than 4 goals by half-time.
Three in three minutes by captain (and 16 year WEPA veteran) Pete Prentice augured well until a combination of startling defense, and a Royal muddle in the middle between Chivas No'1, His Grace, The Duke of Argyll and England's No'3
Ian Secret, saw Chivas just manage 1 more goal in the remaining 4 minutes.
4-0 to Chivas at half-time.
CHIVAS REGAL, the hotly fancied favourites and reigning WEPA Grand Slam Champions were now in deep trouble. The second half script went perfectly for England. Despite their lesser experience, Chris Walker played with impressive INTELLIGENCE to accumulate 3 goals in 6 minutes. With only a minute left, he and 'GERALD' side-stepped the impressive Samantha Prentice on board 'LOVE BUG' and, with just 11 seconds remaining on the clock, England equalised.
On 'GERALD' and the 'A-String' of elephants for the extra time golden goal play-off, the victory for England was inevitable, and it soon came to pass.
CONTROVERSY IN THE INDIAN SUB-CONTINENT is never far from the surface,
and at CEPA 2002, this increasingly murky element in international sport was also apparent. Not that there was any official complaint, nor would one want to accuse anyone of match fixing, but there were two games in which dynamo elephant 'Gerald' (on the A-String) appeared slovenly when playing against teams with 'SRI LANKA' written on their shirts. Also, 'Love Bug' (on the B-String) was usually quite hopeless until she was noticed by a non-partisan spectator playing a 'well ahead of her game' while representing a Sri Lankan-shirted team.
To add to the confusion, Thailand boasted one charming Sri Lankan player, while England wore Taprobane, Sri Lanka T-shirts having lost their own England strip en-route from Heathrow to Colombo. Even Sri Lanka themselves appeared to perform much better once they changed shirts from their official 'CEPA Taprobane' strip to the Sri Lanka shirts worn in Hua Hin at the Thailand King's Cup Elephant Polo Tournament held back in September 2001.
The scenes were, thankfully, nowhere near those of the acrimony witnessed in Galle last year during the First Cricket Test between England and Sri Lanka, nor those of Eden Gardens during the recent One-Day Internationals between England and India. However, sporstmanship related issues amongst mahouts has been noted as an area for the CEPA Committee to work on between now and the next 'Taprobane Trophy Tournament' scheduled for March 2003.
THE NATURAL ELEMENTS came in to play on two critical occasions:
- The TIDAL SWINGS were intense this year, with the full moon being celebrated on March 2nd. As a result the high tides were significantly higher than usual, hence resulting in a need to shorten the pitch by match as the day went along. The final was therefore played on a shorter pitch than the semi-finals, but since there is no specific rule against this at CEPA, there was no issue. In view of the inevitability of tidal swings in nature, flexibility on pitch measurements will be accepted in the future for as long as TEPC hosts the CEPA Tabropane Trophy on the beach at Weligama.
- A NEW ATHLETIC looking elephant called 'ELTON' was introduced to play for the evening session of DAY 1, having arrived late from the tea plantations of Newara Eliya. Elton came on as a reserve replacement for 'TURBO' (B-String) for the SRI LANKA v LADYLOVES final match in League A. During this match Sunny Kalaan playing for the LADYLOVES, fell off Elton, breaking her heel in the process. Elephant Polo can be, like all sports, a dangerous activity - and his incident once again came as a reminder to us all of the need to treat sports such as elephant polo with the needful respect.
THE ELEPHANTS were once again the true stars of the tournament, as they always will be. These remarkable, intelligent and patient animals are facing a major crisis in Sri Lanka now that the logging industry has been abolished. Not only this, but the Sri Lankan elephant's natural habitat in the North of this beautiful Island Republic has been devastated and traumatized by over a decade of political turmoil and civil war. This is why elephant polo, albeit small today, is being supported by the Sri Lanka Elephant Owner's Association and Ministry for Tourism alike, since it offers a new lease of life for Sri Lanka's elephant population.
THE TOP ELEPHANT this year was undoubtedly 'GERALD'. Gerald was neither the youngest nor smallest of the CEPA 2002 string, but with an electric pace, the turning circle of Rudolf Nuryev, and his uncanny confidence, Gerald left all other elephants in his wake. Back this up with the tactical acumen of his mahout, 'Semanta', and together they created one of the finest mahout/elephant polo cocktails ever seen in WEPA history.
TO GRADE THE ELEPHANTS at the beginning of the tournament - and hence determine 2 EVEN teams of 3 consistent elephants - a CONTEST of two 50 yard dashes were arranged. The aggregate timings across the races were recorded and the elephants were graded and teamed up in order of speed capacity as follows:
- GERALD : A-Team
- LOVE BUG : B-Team
- RED ROCK : B-Team
- BIG DICK : A-Team
- TURBO : B-Team -substituted by Lay Down Sally on day 3.
- CRUISE CONTROL : A-Team
- LAY DOWN SALLY : substituted Turbo on day 3.
- TOP GUN : not used.
THE WEEK'S GLAMOUR was of course, and as ever, a major talking point of any elephant polo championship. This year was no exception with Geoffrey Dobbs once again hosting the event on the majestic grounds of Taprobane Island, arguably the most glamorous and romantic private island in the world.
Special features of CEPA 2002 was the introduction of elephant polo to His Grace, The Duke of Argyll, taking time off from his stately duties in Scotland to play for his favourite Scotch Whisky, Chivas Regal. He brought with him Mohan Tissanayagam, The Prince of Jaffna, an old friend and business partner for Chivas. Also on parade was Indian polo legend and Delhi celebrity, 'The Silver Fox' Raj Kalaan, once again invited especially to play for Sri Lanka.
In addition to the Duke of Argyll, CEPA also played host to a bevvy of beautiful Chivas SuperBabes, headed by the glamorous Sunny Kalaan and Sangeeta 'Anjou' Singh from New Delhi and Santa Barbara, with a supporting cast of Melissa Walker (Wiltshire), Sophie Lillingston from Ireland, Champagne Aficionado Veronica Wonky from London, Sandra Santac from The Philippines, the peripatetic, nomadic Holly Wilmot, Didi Didi Dum Dum (ex-007 babe and en-route from Saigon to Hong Kong), and the wild Jessica Prentice (from the idyllic village of Elstead, West Sussex).
ON THE PARTY FRONT there was a rich plethora of terrific entertainment arranged for the CEPA nightlife - another critical component along with Chivas Regal to any world class elephant polo event.
HIGHLIGHTS of the social & sporting party scene were three parties:
Hosted by Thomas Buchan of Auchmacoy and the England team at Crystal Villas on the first night. This was largely an England, Chivas, Sri Lanka affair in which the finest Weligama chickens were served with a delicious local Weligama BBQ sauce. A great evening made especially memorable for the triumphant return of Sunny Kalaan from Galle Hospital having broken her heel earlier in the day. Her brave performance making mockery of any suggestion that the Ladyloves had fallen foul of the 'Jitters'.
On March 2nd, Dom 'Flashman' Moynihan hosted his annual garden party 'chez Cap Coco', on the beautiful Cap Coco peninsula between Galle and Unawatuna beach. A splendid evening of fresh, BBQ'd local tuna, with a heady cocktail of free-flowing Chivas Regal and local Wyborow Moscow Mules just to get the party really swinging.
The arrival of Jack and Jo Eden (Suez revisited) and 'The Galle Ten' 'When You Know' crowd added a touch of local class and elegance to this much talked about evening, one that swung through to the early hours of the morning to the eclectic ballads of unplugged Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Harry Belafonte.
To complete the CEPA festivities, and with Sri Lanka the newly crowned champions of the Taprobane Trophy, the President of CEPA, Geoffrey Dobbs, orchestrated and hosted a spectacular evening on Taprobane Island itself. Starting at exactly 6.38pm with a colourful 'Beating Retreat' by the massed band of the Sri Lankan Navy on the shores of Taprobane, the assembled dignitaries migrated the 3 feet deep 20 yards stretch of Indian Ocean to the steps of Taprobane Island from whence the night of CHIVAS REGAL Regal, champagne and fine wines was to continue til the sunrise of March 4th.
With Geoffrey Dobbs and his CEPA Committee, The Duke of Argyll, The Prince of Jaffna, The Chivas SuperBabes, the assembled teams, and The Galle Ten - now only one element was missing - The 'Colombo Seven' crowd. Were they to come, this would be the final icing on the cake on a memorable CEPA 2002, and sure enough, there they were, arriving in their own exclusive droves in all their finery and with gay abandon.
The dancing was fast, furious and quite magnificent – International Dance Guru Vanessa Birrell of the Chivas SuperBabes described it as the finest and most engaging representation of the art of group dynamic dancing that she had ever seen……………………….She was telling no lie.
About 250 special guests of the TEPC and CEPA enjoyed a very late night of spectacular scenery and hospitality from their saronged and generous host, Geoffrey Dobbs. By sunrise the tide was once again up, allowing the guests to enjoy the same Indian Ocean experience on departure as on their arrival 11 hours earlier.
The Taprobane Ball, like the CEPA 2002 Taprobane Trophy Tournament, was another memorably unique global event that those present will remember for as long as they can enjoy a delicious glass of CHIVAS REGAL, quite simply the SMOOTHEST SCOTCH WHISKY IN THE WORLD.
The World Elephant Polo Association was founded at Tiger Tops, Nepal in 1982 by AV Jim Edwards and James Manclark.
The CEPA (Sri Lanka) and TEPA (Thailand) Elephant Polo associations were affiliated to WEPA as Associate Members in 2001.

text: Home > Nation Congress picks at JDF anew By Paolo Romero, Aurea Calica, The Philippine Star Posted at Jul 10 2014 08:02 AM | Updated as of Jul 10 2014 04:38 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn MANILA, Philippines - The looming congressional probe into the Judiciary Development Fund (JDF) could lead to the repeal or amendment of the Marcosian law that created it, House leaders said yesterday. Iloilo Rep. Neil Tupas, chairman of the House justice committee, and Cavite Rep. Elpidio Barzaga said apart from looking into the disbursement of the JDF by the Supreme Court, the chamber would likely look into the need to amend or repeal Presidential Decree No. 1949, which created the fund. Tupas disclosed that not only has he prepared a resolution to conduct the inquiry, he is also drafting a bill that would either amend or repeal PD 1949 that he said was enacted when the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos was acting as head of both the executive and legislative branches of government. "The pork barrel fund was declared unconstitutional (by the SC) and yet the power to allocate lies with Congress, but this (JDF) is concentrated with the judiciary, and we have not been able to closely monitor its disbursement," Tupas said. "There are irregularities being reported and complaints as well," he said. He said the SC would be forced to follow whatever Congress decides to do with the old law. "If you amend it, of course, the law will change and everybody should follow. The Supreme Court should follow the law," Tupas said. Barzaga said Congress has the sole power to legislate, which "includes the power to amend, alter or modify any law, including a law providing funds to the Supreme Court." He said it was possible that the House would put in "safety nets" in the law to prevent abuse by magistrates. He said the only protection given to the SC under the law is fiscal autonomy, but the JDF remains subject to audit. Palace hands off probe Meanwhile, Malacañang distanced itself from calls to scrutinize the JDF. Earlier, The STAR reported that the Supreme Court and the judiciary received hundreds of millions in fund realignments from the Palace before it declared the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) unconstitutional two weeks ago.

By making his decrees incontestable, President Mohammed Morsi has over-reached, a commentator says. Other topics: Israel's defeat and the decline of Arabic theatre.
Morsi puts revolution in danger
Egyptian revolution is in danger as Morsi decides to make his decrees incontestable
Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi said on Friday that the decrees he had issued earlier in the week, which entitle him to extensive legislative and executive powers, are meant to ensure the country's stability, enhance productivity, put an end to thuggery on the streets and entrench the culture of power rotation.
But the immediate outcome of Mr Morsi's move has been diametrically opposed to those purported pursuits, wrote Abdel Bari Atwan, editor of the pan-Arab newspaper Al Quds Al Arabi, in a front-page column yesterday.
"Decidedly, the Egyptian revolution is under threat, and the great achievements it had brought in terms of unifying the Egyptian people are now being put to a serious test," the editor wrote.
Egypt now is split between two warring camps: one bearing Islamist colours, comprising the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafists; and the other, of a secular inclination, composed of liberals, nationalists, leftists and Coptic Christians - with the supporters of ousted leader Hosni Mubarak lurking right behind them, according to the editor.
"The dreadful manifestation of this rift could be easily seen in the protests and counter-protests that followed [the presidential declaration] in various squares in Cairo and other cities."
Tens of thousands of protesters against Mr Morsi's new, if provisional, constitutional declaration - which makes his presidential decisions irreversible - vented their anger in Tahrir Square on Friday, with some denouncing him as Egypt's "new pharaoh".
His supporters, in their thousands also, gathered outside the Presidential Palace to show their loyalty. It was only a matter of time before violent clashes erupted.
"Not too long ago, bloody clashes in Egypt were between the champions of the revolution and the supporters of an old, corrupt and despotic regime," the editor noted. "Now, these clashes are pitting the champions of the same revolution against each other … Which is a recipe for disaster."
It was has been several months coming, the editor went on. The current clashes should have been foreseeable ever since prominent personalities such as Amr Moussa, George Isaac and Ayman Nour decided to withdraw from the constitutional assembly, which is tasked with drafting the country's new constitution.
Mr Morsi's decrees were simply "the match that ignited the wick", leading to the violence in Tahrir Square on Friday.
To be sure, there are positive aspects to Mr Morsi's declaration, given that some of its intentions intersect with popular demands to, for instance, retry old regime figures suspected of giving orders to kill protesters during the revolution, but who have been acquitted for lack of evidence.
But that cannot be enough to justify the president's unilateral decision to make his own decrees above any sort of oversight, the editor concluded.
Israel fails to see that military will not prevail
With all its military might and the unwavering support of the West, Israel still cannot bring the small Palestinian enclave of Gaza to its knees, wrote the UAE newspaper Al Khaleej in its editorial yesterday.
Perhaps with the exception of the 1967 War, Israel has systematically waged wars that only proved that its regional invincibility is a myth.
Throughout modern history, people's resolve to resist their aggressors has always paid off, and the examples are many. Washington unleashed its power in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, only to later regret it, the paper said.
"The same is true of Israel in its assaults on Gaza and in Lebanon [over the decades]."
All the Palestinians and the Lebanese had was "a surplus of resolve", plus some basic munitions.
"This surplus of will forced Israel to withdraw from Beirut in 1982, foiled its 'Grapes of Wrath' operation in 1996, pushed it out of Lebanon again in 2000, aborted its assault on the same country in 2006 and, later, on Gaza in the winter of 2008-2009, before the latest attack on Gaza [this month], in which Gazans were victorious."
Israel should learn this odd but time-tested algorithm: even super-empires collapse when the sheer confidence of the people they want to conquer is such that it matches the conqueror's hard power.
The twilight of Arab theatre is a great loss
"When I was little, I read several books by the famous British novelist Agatha Christie. Just recently I learned that her play The Mousetrap, a 128-page read, has become the longest-running play ever, having been staged without interruption for the past 60 years," wrote columnist Zainab Hifni in yesterday's edition of the Abu Dhabi-based newspaper Al Ittihad.
Arab theatre also had a glorious past, but that is no longer the case, the columnist argued.
"I lament the waning status of Arab theatre today," she wrote. "I say 'Arab theatre' because in the early and mid-20th century in Egypt … actors from a variety of Arab nationalities would be standing on the same stage."
Sadly, no one has taken the baton from such great masters as Naguib El Rihani, Youssef Wahbi and Mary Mounib, leaving the Arab theatre without a compass.
"Every time I visit Cairo, I see the bills dotting the main avenues, advertising cheap, pathetic plays," the writer said. "I am not against musicals or farce … but I'm against contrived, deliberate, superficial spectacle."
Producers seem convinced that all Arab viewers want from theatre is to open their mouth and laugh at the next slapstick skit, the writer argued.
Arab culture as a whole is being degraded as a result.

Chapter Titles
11 comments:
Chapter one: Many different fairytale characters going to the woods for many different reasons, including Little Red Riding Hood, a Baker's Wife and many...wait...that can't be right...?ReplyDelete
Too obvious?ReplyDelete
That cat belongs in Chapter 11!ReplyDelete
It's a horror novel. I'm right, aren't I?ReplyDelete
There's no way I could guess BUT those titles look pretty awesome. I've been naming my chapters, too, and I think they all suck aaaaaa lot (and have been therefore thinking of keeping just numbers).ReplyDelete
Tracy - I chased him out of my Chapter 11, but he's currently looking for a new home. Maybe in your epilogue?ReplyDelete
Mike - It was, but once I got the cat out it switched over to fantasy.
Jessica - Thanks! I'm slightly suspicious that they read like Buffy episode titles, but I guess there are worse things. Nothing wrong with just numbers. That was my original plan, until I started getting ideas for titles.
Haha, Buffy episode titles. What I like about the titles is that they don't give too much away, like, say, a chapter entitled, "Falling Through the Ice" or "Canceled Wedding Plans" or something like that. ;o)ReplyDelete
Thanks for entering my blog giveaway! Good luck!
I wanted to say a Snow White retelling, but I'm probably totally off!ReplyDelete
Sarah-- No evil angry cats in my book. Knowing how I feel about cats (sorry cat people! allergies!) it would end up killing all of my characters with a hairball.ReplyDelete
I have a difficult enough time coming up with a perfect title (I'm fussy) for my novels, I would never torture myself with trying to title my chapters! OMG...you just made me break out in a cold sweat just thinking about it. The pressure, the horror. *shudder*ReplyDelete
But your ch. titles def give me a fantasy feeling.
I'm allergic too, but the kid brought home a kitten over the summer...and she latched on to me...and now I'm in love with her. I take a lot of benedryl. :)
Happy 2011,
Carol - Thanks! That's what I was going for: vague, yet meaningful.ReplyDelete
Lydia - No Snow White, though I have borrowed a few fairytale/mythical conventions in order to upend them. So, you could be much further off. :)
Tracey - Heh, I'm the same way. My eyes burn and my skin itches and I end up completely miserable. Unfortunately, cats seem to be able to sense this and love to climb all over me. Deadly Hairball. I like it.
Lola - Heh, I never thought I'd go to the trouble of titling them, either. I usually hate titles! All I can say is that something mysterious and inexplicable happened. Kittens are super cute. I wish they didn't make me stuffy.

CASE = Copy and Selectively Edit
I have been waiting for a particular challenge all month. Every month over at TGIF Challenges the final challenge of the month is to CASE a card you liked that one of the designers or participants created throughout the course of the month.
When I saw this beautiful card using the Decorative Label Punch by Kathryn Whittaker, I was instantly in love with it. I commented, I pinned, and then I ran down to my office and immediately CASEd it. Then I had to wait the whole rest of the month to share the card I made. Finally, the day has arrived!
Here is Kathryn's awe inspiring card:
Here is my card, which was inspired by Kathryn's:
Selective Edits
Part of CASEing a card is that you selectively edit to make it your own. I copied Kathryn's layout but changed up the colors and embellishments to make a whole new look. I used By the Shore Designer Series Paper as the background, carefully lining up the bands of color so the darkest one would go behind the sentiment. I added a layer of Calypso Coral as a border. I used the same punch as Kathryn, the Decorative Label Punch, but punched it out of Rich Razzleberry and stamped on it with Whisper White ink.
I hadn't used my Botanical Builder Framelit dies in awhile, so I dusted them off and made some floral embellishments out of a paper close to Sweet Sugarplum and added Rich Razzleberry sponging around the outer edges. I added a bit of sparkle with rhinestones, placed in a similar manner to Kathryn's sequins embellishments. These were balanced so nicely in her original design, there was no need to mess with perfection here!
A Warm Color Scheme
Today's color scheme is another distinctly feminine one. I've been in a pink mood, what can I say? Not light pink, though. I like bright, hot, rich, vibrant pinks. In this case, my chosen pink is Calypso Coral, which has a bit of orange in it as well, which makes it a little warmer and a little more vibrant than your average pink.
Calypso Coral looks great with warmer purples, like Rich Razzleberry and Sweet Sugarplum (and the old Blackberry Bliss) because those purples also have a little bit of pink to them. Purple is usually considered a cool color, but these are closer to red than blue in their mixture. I actually thought Sweet Sugarplum was supposed to be a pink shade when I first saw it online!
If you like these colors, feel free to save them and use them for yourself!
I'd like to send out a special thanks to Kathryn Whittaker today for all the inspiration she offers to me and others through her blog! Thank you so much!
Thanks also to you, dear readers, for visiting! If you get a chance, go check Kathryn's blog out, too, I think you'll like it! Happy stamping!

Copper Chef is one of the most sought-after cooking tools on the market. Copper Chef is a 6-in-1 non-stick pan that works as your stock pot, rice cooker, frying pan, baking pan, wok, and roasting pan. Endorsed by Eric Theiss, an acclaimed chef and culinary expert, Copper Chef makes food prep, cooking, and cleanup a breeze. Read on to learn about the amazing features of the Copper Chef pan.
What makes Copper Chef so great is its unique and innovative design. Copper Chef features a square pan design with deep dish sides. This design provides 25% more space for more food when compared to a traditional round frying pan. The pan's unique construction makes it easy to cook one-pot meals, while keeping you from overcrowding the pan.
Another amazing feature is the Cerami-Tech non-stick coating. Cerami-Tech ensures nothing sticks to the pan and allows you to cook without butter, oils, grease, and chemicals. The coating is PTFE and PFOA free, and the non-stick coating won't chip or peel.
Meanwhile, the stainless steel induction plate heats up quickly without hot spots and works with all stovetops, including electric, gas, ceramic, and induction. Copper Chef heats up evenly and has a heat resistance of up to 850°. The pan also has a helper handle, so you can easily lift heavier pans out of the oven. Plus, the pan is dishwasher safe, so cleanup is quick and painless.
Along with its high-performance design, there's no denying that the copper color looks great in your kitchen. Copper Chef is both practical and beautiful, making it the perfect addition to your kitchen.

Three quick takes on the notable transactions of this week . . .
A six-year contract for $52 million, bringing Boston's total outlay for Daisuke Matsuzaka to $103.1 million, will look smart in the long run, even if the Red Sox don't make an extra dime in Japan. And they'll make plenty of extra dimes, as I've seen an estimate of $3 million per year by sports economist Andrew Zimbalist and a Red Sox source told me that their business guys think they can make $20 million—in 2007 alone.
With Jason Jennings a year away from free agency, I would have held onto Jason Hirsh if I were the Astros. He'll be a better value over the next six seasons than Jennings will. I don't understand why Houston had to give up Willy Taveras and Taylor Buchholz as well, though I'm not a huge fan of either.
The Jose Vidro deal that's supposed to go down today makes even less sense. The Mariners are picking up $12 million of the $16 million remaining on Vidro's contract the next two years, plus giving him a vesting option to waive his no-trade clause. Getting rid of most of their financial obligation to the declining Vidro should have been enough for the Nationals, but they also get Chris Snelling and Emiliano Fruto out of the deal? Snelling (constant injuries) and Fruto (general flakiness) have their drawbacks, but I'd rather have either one of them than Vidro, even before the money gets involved.
There were just two changes on the free-agent compensation landscape in the past week. Miguel Batista (Type B) went from the Diamondbacks to the Mariners, creating a new supplemental first-round choice, while Guillermo Mota (Type B) re-signed with the Mets.

Now let's get to a quick question before I get dragged back to work on the 2007 Prospect Handbook, which would make a fine holiday gift, if I say so myself.
- Following the Freddy Garcia trade, where will Gio Gonzalez rank on the White Sox Top 30 in the Prospect Handbook?
Richard Wambach
St. Charles, Ill.
He'll rank No. 3, behind outfielder Ryan Sweeney and third baseman Josh Fields. Gonzalez rejoined the White Sox after we ran that Top 10 in our magazine but before our Phillies list was unveiled, so you'd have to buy the Handbook to check out his scouting report.
Because it's the holiday season, however, I'll give you an early gift and present the scouting report written by Chris Kline. Gonzalez would have rated No. 2 on our Philadelphia Top 10.
Gio Gonzalez, lhp Born: Sept. 19, 1985. B-T: R-L. Ht.: 6-0. Wt.: 190. Drafted: HS—Miami, 2004 (1st round supplemental). Signed by: Jose Ortega.
Background: The White Sox signed Gonzalez for $850,000 as the 38th overall pick in the 2004 draft, and he might have gone even earlier had he not left his high school team in a dispute over his brother's playing time. Chicago packaged him with Aaron Rowand and minor league lefty Daniel Haigwood in the Jim Thome trade following the 2005 season, then reacquired him 13 months later. The Phillies sent him back, along with Gavin Floyd, in exchange for Freddy Garcia. Gonzalez spent 2006 in Double-A as a 20-year-old, holding his own despite erratic command at times.
Strengths: Gonzalez has a fundamentally sound delivery that he repeats well, creating effortless 92-95 mph velocity with his fastball. His low-80s hammer curveball always has been his go-to pitch, and he'll use it in any count. He located his changeup better in 2006, and it shows flashes of being a third plus pitch. Though there were questions about his durability, he pitched a career-high 155 innings and added 16 more in the Arizona Fall League.
Weaknesses: Gonzalez will need better command with his fastball and more consistency with his changeup to succeed at higher levels. He fell behind in the count early and often in Double-A, leading to too many homers and walks. He can get top-heavy in his delivery, which causes him to rush his lower half and leave fastballs up in the zone.
The Future: The White Sox were delighted to get Gonzalez back. He has all the makings of a legitimate No. 2 starter, but they have no reason to rush him. He'll likely return to Double-A at the beginning of 2007.

Pennsylvanians in the Irish Brigade
Posted By Norman Gasbarro on March 17, 2011
A brigade of Irish troops was originally formed in September of 1861 upon authorization of the Secretary of War. At first it consisted of three New York regiments – the 63rd New York Infantry, the 69th New York Infantry, and the 88th New York Infantry. To give the brigade some additional strength, the 29th Massachusetts Infantry of mostly non-Irish, was assigned to it. After the Battle of Antietam, the 29th Massachusetts Infantry was replaced with the 28th Massachusetts Infantry, which was made up predominantly of Irish immigrants. Afterward, Philadelphia Irish immigrants were recruited to form another regiment,the 116th Pennsylvania Infantry, and that was added to the brigade, bringing it to a full strength of five regiments. See prior post on the organization of the Union army.
The core of the New York regiments that formed this brigade consisted of the 69th New York Militia and the 63rd New York Volunteers, also known as the "Third Irish." The 69th had gained notoriety before the war when its leader, Col. Michael Corcoran, refused to lead a dress parade for the Prince of Wales who was visiting New York City. For the refusal, he was put under court martial, but with the advent of the Civil War, he was needed. Charges were dropped and the 69th New York Militia was sent to Virginia. Since many of the immigrants in the early "Irish Brigade" were experienced Irish revolutionaries, the activation of this unit was seen as a warning to Britain to refrain from supporting the Confederacy or there would be repercussions in Ireland. It also helped get solid Irish support for the cause of the Union – which at the time was not the emancipation of slaves. Irish immigrants were concerned about a flood of freed slaves headed north to take jobs that they had to fight to get and many considered joining the Confederacy to help preserve the institution of slavery. In balancing the options, it seemed better to choose the Union cause where the immigrants could prove their worth on the battlefield in a separate "Irish Brigade" which they saw as a way to climb the economic ladder once the war was over. The Confederacy offered no such option to these Catholic immigrants. The creation of an "Irish Brigade" was therefore a clever, strategic move on the part of the War Department. The "Irish Brigade" was assigned paid Catholic Chaplains, chief of which was Fr. William Corby, a Holy Cross priest and a future president of Notre Dame and for the most part, its leaders were of Irish background. But Col. Michael Corcoran formed another unit, known as the Corcoran Legion, also composed of Irish troops. Unfortunately, in 1863, while riding alone, his horse fell on him and crushed his skull. He died instantly.
The history of 116th Pennsylvania Infantry notes that it was recruited in Philadelphia in July and August of 1862. Before the regiment was of proper strength, its members were sent first to Washington and then to Rockville, Maryland, before being sent back to Washington. But on 6 October 1862 it became part of the "Irish Brigade" which had been assigned to the Second Army Corps, First Division. Unfortunately one its earliest engagements occurred when the regiment came out of winter quarters to lose 43 percent of its members at the Battle of Fredericksburg.
From the official history of the Union Army:
Owing to the sad reduction in its effective strength, the 116th Pennsylvania Infantry was consolidated into a battalion of four companies in January 1863, remaining in the camp at Falmouth until the opening of the Chancellorsville movement, in which it was active, and returning afterward to its old camp. Its work at Chancellorsville received special complimentary mention by Gen. Hancock. The battalion lost heavily at Gettysburg, where it was active on 2 July and 3 July, and joined in the southward movement which followed…. [see previous post on Pennsylvania Regiments at Gettysburg, 116th Pennsylvania Infantry]. Winter quarters were established at Stevensburg and during the winter the regiment was reorganized, three companies from Philadelphia and three from Pittsburgh, being added to the reenlisted men of the battalion, which filled the ranks to the required strength. The "Irish Brigade" was closely engaged at the Wilderness… Spottsylvania and Cold Harbor, its ranks again being greatly reduced in numbers by the almost daily encounters of the enemy. The 116th Pennsylvania Infantry arrived in front of Petersburg on 15 June, charged the works the next day and joined in the action at Reams' Station a few days later. Upon the reorganization of the Second Corps, it was attached to the 4th Brigade, 1st Division, with which it shared in the engagements at Deep Bottom and the raid on the Weldon Railroad in July, the Hatcher's Run in December, and the skirmish at Dabney's Mill in February 1865. At the close of the siege the regiment participated in the battle at Five Forks, and after Lee's surrender, returned to Alexandria, where companies A through D were mustered out on 3 June, and the remainder were mustered out at Washington on 14 July.
The regiment leader was Maj. St. Clair A. Mulholland. In 1903, Mulholland wrote a history of the 116th Pennsylvania Infantry. That book is available as free download from Google Books – click here. Maj. Mulholland was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions at Chancellorsville while leading the 116th Pennsylvania Infantry. His citation read: "In command of the picket line held the enemy in check all night to cover the retreat of the Army."
From the Lykens Valley area and from this Civil War Research Project, five men have been identified as having served in the 116th Pennsylvania Infantry, and therefore in the "Irish Brigade." Many other Irish immigrants or men of Irish descent from the Lykens Valley area fought in other Pennsylvania regiments, but the purpose of this post is to identify those who specifically served with the"Irish Brigade."
Those who served in the 116th Pennsylvania Infantry who have been identified as part of this Civil War Research Project are:
George Goodman — Joseph M. Johnson — Jacob J. Schroeder — Adam Wagner — Ellie Wilson
Only some information has been discovered about each of the five men. Records at the Civil War Research Project indicate that George Goodman was "shot in side" during the war. Jacob J. Schroeder was taken prisoner and held at Salisbury, North Carolina for six months where he claimed to have developed rheumatism and heart disease. Adam Wagner was killed in the battle at Petersburg on 14 June 1864 and in 1890, his widow was living in Porter Township, Schuylkill County. She didn't know much about his military service because his discharge had been destroyed in a fire. Ellie Wilson's widow was living in Tower City, Schuylkill County in 1890.
The regimental flag of the 116th Pennsylvania Infantry is part of the collection at the Pennsylvania State Capitol.
Information for this post was taken from the Civil War Research Project collection. The regimental flag of the 116th Pennsylvania Infantry is from the Pennsylvania Civil War Project of Steve Maczuga. Photographs are from Wikipedia and are in the public domain either because their copyright has expired or they are digital copies of originals that are in the Library of Congress. The photograph of Maj. Mulholland is from the Google Book on the 103rd Pennsylvania Infantry, previously cited. Some of the information on the Irish Brigade" is from Wikipedia articles on the Irish Brigade or on its leaders. The official Union army history is edited from the history of the 116th Pennsylvania Infantry available on Ancestry.com.
Anyone with more information about Pennsylvanians in the "Irish Brigade" is invited to submit it, particularly if such information pertains to the veterans from the Lykens Valley area.
10 Responses to "Pennsylvanians in the Irish Brigade"
I love to read about Irish history. Keep up the great work.
Hi. My great great grandfather was Matthew Murray, Sargent in A company of the 116. He was recruited in Philadelphia. He had immigrated to the USA at the age of 13 from Ireland. He lost his arm at the shoulder in the Wheatfield at Gettysburg on July 2. He survived until 1877 and then died as a result of his injuries. He is buried in Philadelphia PA.
He left a wife, son, and daughter (my great grandmother).
My husband's great great grandfather, George Freeby, was also in the 116th although Co G. He did not join until after Matthew Murray was discharged. George Freeby was a private and received a pension for a wound to his right foot.
I would appreciate any information you might have concerning my family members.
Thank you
This is a message to Dianne Bott. I'm not certain if we have the same ancestor, but my 3rd great grandfather was Matthew Murray, also in the civil war. I don't know what regiment he was in, but I do know where he hailed from in Ireland and who his wife and daughter were. I'd like to compare notes with you and see if we have a common ancestor. I hope you check here periodically. Please contact me at kimATkimzyn with the dot com on the end.
Best Regards,
Hello to both you Kim and Dianne. I also have discovered that I am related to Matthew Murray. He is my 3rd great grandfather. His daughter Mary Ann (Murray) Coyle is my 2nd great grandmother. My mom is a Coyle. Matthew's wife's name was Anna (Mallen).
Hi Maureen,
It sounds like we are cousins! Mary Ann and Matthew were my 3rd great Grandparents too. My great grandparents were Margaret and Matthew Coyle of South Jersey. Does that ring a bell? I'd like to compare notes with you if you get time to email. I recently found a lot of census and military records that you might not have seen regarding Matthew Murray and Mary Ann and her husband James. Here is my info with the symbols typed in so I don't get spam KimzynATgmailDOTcom.
Hope to hear from you!

Gas Leak
Written by L. James Biddle Friday, 17 March 2017 17:33
While many residents were either planning for the end-of-the-day, pre-bedtime plans for school age young children or possibly preparing to view the televised Villanova college basketball game on Thursday, March 16, one Newtown Square family was required to make an emergency telephone call for help. Both the interior and the exterior of their northwestern Newtown Township home was filled with the added, telltale smell included in non-combustive natural gas.
Safety is a combined theme shared by the Delaware County 9 1 1 Center and the Newtown Square Fire Company. A part of the responding radio exchanges between the Delaware County Fire Dispatch and responding local firefighters shared this potential danger had been reported to PECO Energy. This high-energy type of call in near 20 degree temperatures also used predetermined responses from nearby Chester County fire and EMS apparatus.
With the occupants removed from their Bridal Lane home, instrument readings were made in all areas of the multiple-level, areas of the residence. The upper level areas did not display serious readings on the Fire Company's gas reading apparatus.
In the first-floor cooking area, the telltale aroma was noticed. In the home-heating area in the home's basement, there were reports of serious natural gas levels. This source became a serious source of an ongoing investigation.
While these interior searches were being done, fire crews working on ice-coated and packed snow could smell the warning odor. While unable to initially see the exterior gas meter, firefighters from Chester County's Berwyn were making progress in their active digging search for the weather-buried gas meter and its shutoff valve.
When the snow removal was complete, the exterior firefighters and PECO Energy discovered the cause of source of the warning aroma. A pipe near the gas meter had broken and this aided in the gas entering the home as well as providing the outdoor warning smell,
At approximately 8 p.m., the combined EMS crews from both Delaware and Chester counties and the Berwyn fire apparatus were released from their Newtown Square emergency location as the Newtown Square Fire Company began their final activities. When one local firefighter was asked by a local resident about why this call was an emergency.
The supplied response from the firefighter provided the reason," Haven't you ever seen what happens when escaping gas becomes ignited? The prevention of this type of an explosion and fire always need to be prevented."

Do you have your own pile of dirty, wet leafs?
Do you have a place that you go to, either physically or in your head, when things are getting rough? Is there a practice that you've found that will almost always bring you out of the funk that you may have landed in and back to the gratitude of how truly good your life is right now?
What shape does yours take? Is it a glass of wine in the bath when your husband takes the kids? It's certainly not for me, and not only because I do not currently have a husband. Is it a Netflix and Chill night? Is it 4 hours of Grand Theft Auto 5 after the wife and kids are in bed? Yoga? Meditation? Cocaine? Just relaxing in bed with a good book? Is it not a place at all? Is it not a tangible moment or thing? Is it more simple than that? For me, at times, it's as simple as looking up. Looking up into the blue sky and knowing that this is all going as it should and accepting that I wouldn't change a thing about my life right now. I can do that whenever I want, and whenever I do I find that I am almost always at complete ease. The tricky part is this: I don't always do it. Sometimes I just decide to sit in whatever negative feelings I'm having.
Part of that truth is the self-knowledge that I kind of like feeling uncomfortable. That's cool and at least I'm aware of it. Self-pity and indulging in a "woe is me" mentality is sometimes a lot easier than recognizing that my life has never been better than it is right now.
The other day I was just laying down with Allison. It was, by all accounts, an ideal moment. Jack was sleeping. Charlie was sleeping. We were cuddling and I asked her if she can just be in this moment, or if she finds herself thinking about a million other things (as I was doing at the time). She admitted that she was thinking of a million other things, and that's okay. We are right now living in the times of "a million other things" and a few hundred thousand of them require some level of total attention. I told her that I have lately found that I can pause in moments like this and just go…well, I couldn't think of any other word for it than "nowhere". I have been able to find myself at perfect peace in the knowledge that my wife is happy and my kids are safe. I have the simple understanding that everything is going to be okay and JUST LIKE THAT it's gone. It's not a sustainable state, it's something that I've got to access continually. This place, this nowhere, I know that I don't get there unless I'm also here. I know that my life here is the anchor point to reach this amazing sense of ease and comfort.. Now, is this God? Is this praying? Is this meditating? I don't know, and truthfully it doesn't really matter. All I need to know is that when I stop, breath and access that place the result is this: I feel better.
Now most of my day is not spent in this slow-motion, feel-good, hippy-tastic state of being. A lot of my day is probably indistinguishable from a lot of your day. It's making breakfast while you're unloading the dishwasher. It's turning t-shirts around on necks to get them on quicker. It's tying shoes, but forgetting to tie your own. It's driving to school, going shopping for birthday parties. It's eating quickly and not as well as I should be. It's over caffeinated and under-washed. Now the data is that I can do that routine and do it well, but what kind of person am I to be around? How are my relationships going? How's my self-care? If I keep on going like that, fueled by nothing but this endless quest to move on to the next check on the list, I am eventually not going to be much good to anyone. One of the hardest truths I had to accept as a parent is this:
My well-being HAS to come before anyone else. Before my wife. Before my kids. I am incapable of taking care of others if I am not taking care of myself.
So, I take the time to lay in my dirty, wet pile of leaves. I don't do it perfectly and I don't do it as much as I should. I am, like all of us, a work in progress. Each day I am learning a little bit more and meeting a newer, better version of myself. I know my kids like him. I know my wife likes him. If I keep doing this, I may even learn to like him as well.
Thanks for listening and be well.

The earlier version of this website was designed by world-reknowned web designer, Paul Jarvis; the copy was written by communication expert, Alexandra Franzen (with whom I had the privilege of collaborating on numerous writing projects over a two year period — including eleven guidebooks on some of life's trickiest situations, an online course about healthy relationships, and a parenting book); and the code was masterfully crafted by Chris Barrett — an absolute pleasure to work with.
This website has undergone revisions since its earlier years, but it wouldn't be what it is today, without the initial craftsmanship of these talented professionals.
Much gratitude to each one of you!

FOR Neil Lennon it's 100, not out.
Just four days after threatening to quit as Celtic boss he notched his century of wins in charge.
Hearts were tortured at Tynecastle, with Lennon's men staying top of the SPL in some style.
This was a pulsating clash which the home side put plenty into. But the end result was never in doubt.
Lassad, Mikael Lustig and Gary Hooper all hit the net, with Ryan Stevenson scoring a luckless own goal.
On a night when nothing went right for Hearts, they missed a late penalty with
the outstanding Fraser Forster pulling off a save from Marius Zaliukas. You could almost sense this kind of performance was coming from Celtic.
They had questions asked of them after the weekend defeat to Inverness Caley Thistle.
Stats were thrown at them like confetti at a wedding.
One win from their last five, seven from 14 since the season kicked off.
Had they lost last night it would have been three defeats on the bounce for the first time since 1994.
It didn't matter to some that this side are on the verge of reaching the last 16 of the Champions League. That they had beaten Barcelona.
The fact punters were giving it tight to Lennon as he stood in the dugout at Parkhead on Saturday meant the pressure was on. But what a way to respond.
Tynecastle was buzzing before kick-off, like it always is for this fixture.
Surprisingly, disappointingly, there were a large number of empty seats in the home end.
But you wouldn't have known it from start to finish with the place jumping.
Celtic Park may be one of the best stadiums in the whole of the UK. But it doesn't get atmospheres like this when it comes to domestic league games. Not any more.
That's one of the main reasons Celtic's players have struggled in their own backyard this season.
Here it was demanded of them that they were at it.
Hearts tried to give as good as they got, but the fact is they didn't stand a chance. The club's diehards will argue they should have been awarded a penalty at 0-0 and they'd have a case. Lassad appeared to handle the ball inside his own box at a Hearts corner.
But it's hard to imagine the home side getting anything out of this game even if they had taken the lead.
Celtic missed a great chance inside the first three minutes, Kris Commons firing straight at keeper Jamie MacDonald after a cut-back from Hooper.
But it never looked like it was going to be a missed opportunity Celts were going to regret.
Once they got their noses in front there was no stopping them. Try as Hearts might.
Put it this way, they were three up by half-time with a stream of home fans heading for the exits long before the players reached the dressing room. Not that you could blame them. Celts' first came in nine minutes, with Lassad volleying Commons' cross in at the near post.
The home side had a great chance to level in 15 minutes when Stevenson picked out Callum Paterson with an inch-perfect free-kick.
But despite being in acres of space the stand-in striker failed to make contact with the ball.
Hearts had another penalty shout after 33 minutes, but ref Willie Collum was right to rule that Kelvin Wilson won the ball from Paterson with a good challenge.
At the other end Charlie Mulgrew fired a right-footed shot over the bar when he'd have probably scored had it been on his lethal left.
But goal No2 wasn't long in coming. Lustig combined with Lassad to work the ball into the box in 22 minutes, with Zaliukas only able to partially clear his cross.
The ball bounced back to Lustig, who scored with a shot MacDonald got a hand to but couldn't stop.
It was cruel on the Jambos but devastating front play from Celts once again.
It wasn't all about Lennon's attackers though.
Forster pulled off a superb double save to keep out a Stevenson free-kick and then a Zaliukas header from point-blank range. How he got to it, only he knows.
Then, on the half-hour mark, Celtic broke upfield to net their third.
This time it went down as an OG, with Stevenson turning a Mulgrew cutback into his own net.
At 3-0 down with an hour still to play there was a real danger the result could get embarrassing. But Hearts didn't stop fighting as they tried to turn it around.
Kid Jamie Walker was lively and cost Efe Ambrose a booking in 33 minutes.
Four minutes into the second half Kevin McHattie forced another top-class save from Forster with a drilled free-kick from 25 yards.
The game threatened to get out of hand on the hour mark at a dropped ball.
Commons was meant to give possession back to MacDonald, but he incensed the Jambos players by doing some cheeky keepy-uppies first.
In 72 minutes, McGlynn's men had another shout for a penalty when Ambrose handled after miscontrolling in the Celts box. Sub Mehdi Taouil then forced another good save from Forster with a blasted shot.
Hooper missed an open goal in 77 minutes — but his blushes were spared by a raised flag for offside.
With seven minutes left though, the striker did add his name to the scoresheet.
Mulgrew crossed from the left, with Hooper volleying in his 12th goal of the season from inside the six-yard box.
Hearts were finally awarded a penalty in the dying seconds when Wilson brought down Stevenson.
But their misery continued as Zaliukas' spot-kick was saved by the immense Forster.
HEARTS: MacDonald 6, R. McGowan 7, Webster 6, Zaliukas 6, McHattie 6, Stevenson 7, Barr 6, D. McGowan 6, Walker 6 (Driver 3), Holt 6 (Taouil), Paterson 6. Booked: Paterson.
CELTIC: Forster 9, Lustig 8 (Matthews 3), Ambrose 8, Wilson 9, Mulgrew 8, Commons 8, Kayal 8, Wanyama 9, Ledley 8 (Brown 3), Lassad 8 (Samaras 2), Hooper 8. Booked: Ambrose, Wanyama.
REFEREE: Willie Collum – 6.

Getting drinking water is extremely easy in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Here in Saigon (where I'm staying now), I have to go to Circle K, Family Mart, or some other convenience store everytime I want to buy more water. In Chiang Mai, however, they have water dispensers scattered across the entire city.
These water dispensers give you about two liters of drinking water for only 1 baht ($0.03). The water in these machines is purified through reverse osmosis and is considered to be generally safe.
The one thing you may have to worry about is the machines' filters not getting replaced often enough. I, nor any of the people I know using these machines have gotten sick from the water. You're unlikely to have problems in the short or medium-term.
If you intend to live in Chiang Mai long-term, however, you'd probably be wise to invest in a personal water filtration system and replace the filters yourself every now and then. That would be the smartest solution for ideal health.
Generally speaking, however, the drinking water from these machines is convenient, cheap, and safe enough to not be overly concerned unless you've already optimized your diet in every other way (priorities!).

|How many mornings until school holidays...?
811. A productive but not rushed day;
812. Audrey's old glasses being the same prescription as Ashlea's TWO BROKEN PAIRS thus saving me a trip to the Optometrist;
813. And one from Ashlea's list - playing silly games with Emma. I love it when they play silly games together. It would be nice if they just played normal games but that's not possible in our house - it's always silly games.
Psalm 13:5-6
But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing the Lord's praise,
for he has been good to me.

Hour 6
This Is Life
Street Date:
June 4, 2013
Alternative Rock
Buy It:
is a Southern Californian pop alternative band that has just released its second full-length album to the Christian music community. Recorded in various parts of Southern California (including this reviewer's hometown of Ontario),
This Is Life
is a thirteen-track endeavor that's dripping with praises of Jesus set to skillful and well-orchestrated pop, rock, and alternative music that rivals most modern radio music. And it's the music itself that is the album's strongest part, particularly when they're engaging in the rockier sound. One of the highlights of
This Is Life
is the driving rock sound of "Fists on Fire," which features an energy that is very indicative of what Hour6 is capable of. Sadly, this song features one in only a few moments in which they really sound this way (though "A Lesser Man" does come close). With that being said, there's some impressive guitar work to be found in other tracks like "This Is Life" and "Back From The Dead." The rest of the album is lighter and brings a variation of southern rock and early alternative. Good comparisons include Collective Soul and DecembeRadio, with influence from bands like The City Harmonic or Hillsong Live - there's even some of that infamous delay pedal action in "Where It Starts," as well as some chantable "whoa-oh-oh"s in "I Am Here" (and
in "Back From The Dead"). As I mentioned, Hour6's music is what's most memorable about
This Is Life
, with the lyrics struggling to find themselves. "A Lesser Man" contains a good example, which is found in its chorus: "
I'm gonna live like there's no tomorrow, forget about what I can't control, aim for something so much more, I'm gonna live like there's no yesterday, break off what I can't contain, bury the past and walk away, surrender what I'm holding on to, my life is Yours, I'll give it all to You
." "We Are The Ones" has another example, as they sing "
You search the world for a perfect fit, one more committee that can't commit, don't fall asleep on this or you'll be left out, this is what the history books will be about
." I also find the lyrics "
Win or lose we're gonna fight today, we don't believe in timing
" to be a little hard to decipher. Hour6 is a band with potential, as noted especially in the musicianship, and on that front itself, they prove to be a better band than a lot of Christian radio offerings. With a little dedication to stronger lyricism (without compromising where they stand), they could truly be a band to get excited about. - Review date: 6/22/13, written by

Sporty Shorty by Roland Davies

Sporty Shorty appears quite similar to Sportin' Sam (?) who used to appear on the back of the Sunday Express and was by Reg Wootton. I remember about 20/30 years ago there was a comment by the weekly cartoon saying that it was the last one due to the poor health of Reg Wootton & that was that.

Wootton eventually died in 1995. I've just noticed that a handful of original art boards for his "Sporting Sam" strip are being sold on eBay.

Funny enough I spotted those Sporting Sam Original Art boards on ebay whilst searching for something completely different!!
Whilst on the Express newspaper, I just posted a Carl Giles post over on my blog. Someone has commented asking if Giles ever contributed to a cover for the guinness book of world records back in the 70's. I have no idea!! Do you have any recollection of this Steve??

It doesn't ring any bells but that's not to say that it didn't happen. Nice post on Giles, by the way.
