Nemesis: Sub-Terra ride set to open in 2012 at Britain's Alton Towers
A new indoor dark ride debuting in 2012 at Britain's Alton Towers theme park promises to be a psychologically terrifying and physically thrilling experience set in the secret underground catacomb of an alien creature.
Dubbed Nemesis: Sub-Terra, the new ride is based on the original back-story for the 1994 Nemesis inverted roller coaster that travels over a river of blood. The Nemesis legend tells of a brooding and unpredictable extraterrestrial discovered during an excavation and worshipped by a cult.
PHOTOS: Nemesis: Sub-Terra dark ride at Alton Towers
Concept art for the new ride shows the blood-red tentacles and a bulging serpent's eyeball of the ancient malevolent creature emerging from a volcanic terrain.
Construction has already begun on the Nemesis: Sub-Terra building, which will descend two stories below ground.
Set to open March 24, the new attraction is expected to be built by ABC Rides of Switzerland, which created the Extremis indoor special effects drop tower at London Dungeons (also run by Merlin Entertainment, parent company of Alton Towers).
A prototype Vertical Dark Ride concept by ABC Rides features a central drop tower with benches that rotate and stop at animated scenes at various levels inside a themed building.
A master at marketing new attractions, Alton Towers has been dropping clues about the new ride in an ongoing online campaign, including suggestions of hazardous materials and containment zones. As a promotional stunt, the park plans to install heart-rate monitors at the exit of what promises to be a pulse-quickening ride.
Jack Osbourne, star of the British reality TV show "Adrenaline Junkie," will serve as Director of Fear for the new ride. An underground caving expedition on "Adrenaline Junkie" is said to have inspired the new attraction.
The ride will be located in the post-apocalyptic Forbidden Valley section of Alton Towers near the Nemesis and Air roller coasters and the Ripsaw and Blade thrill rides.
Two existing attractions, the Lava Lump rock-climbing wall and the Body Zorb bumper orbs, will be removed to make room for the new indoor ride.
The exterior of the new attraction will match the industrial and military theme featured throughout the Forbidden Valley.
Located between Manchester and Birmingham in central England, Alton Towers also plans to add an "Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" 4-D movie in 2012.

The Western Digital drive proves to be a most awkward drive to set up, requiring assorted jumper shenanigans to get our PC to even recognise the drive. Performancewise however, it comes out on top.
At 32p per GB, it's one of the best value drives we've tested and, with an average read time of 62MB/sec, it's certainly speedy.
The only place where this drive falls down is in its burst speed. This is the maximum speed that data can transfer between the device and the CPU, and the Caviar is the drops below the ideal 130MB/sec mark, coming in at around 127MB/ sec.
However, the drive offers good value for money, and it outperforms a lot of other horizontal storage media we've tested. It certainly scores well in all the areas that count. Dave James

With the SOCOM: Confrontation beta still struggling at times, one would think there's enough testing going on at present on the PS3. More beta testing is imminent, though, as Insomniac has launched the sign-ups for the forthcoming Resistance 2 open beta.
Hopeful applicants who didn't buy the third episode of Qore can apply for a chance to test out the game's adversarial multiplayer modes and 8-man cooperative campaign by visiting the official Resistance 2 beta site. Players are required to have an active PlayStation Network account to apply. An official date for the open beta has not yet been announced, though the small closed beta is already underway.
What little multiplayer time we had with Resistance 2 at E3 this year was enough to whet our appetites for more. The matches we played were all relatively small in scale, so checking out 60 man battles and the game's co-op mode should be on the to-do list of every PS3 owner.

You've heard of Doomsday Preppers: folks who think cataclysmic events are on the way, and who want to be prepared by stockpiling resources.
Now meet the Currency Preppers.
With government dysfunction on full display in Washington, and the Federal Reserve continuing its policy of bond buying known as quantitative easing, some investors are feeling highly unsettled about the future of the U.S. dollar, which hit eight-and-a-half month lows on Friday against the euro and a basket of foreign currencies. So much so, they have decided to hold some cash in foreign currencies.

Investors like Bernie Koerselman. The 78-year-old from Surprise, Arizona has an Australian dollar deposit account with Jacksonville, Florida-based EverBank, and in the past has owned currencies like the Brazilian real and the Canadian dollar.

Difference between revisions of "Vatican City State"
Revision as of 09:52, 8 January 2011
Vatican City (Citta del Vaticano), also incorrectly known as but popularly synonymous with the Holy See (Santa Sede), is the latest and only current Papal state in existence and the temporal seat of the Pope, head of the worldwide Catholic Church. Situated within the city of Rome in Italy, the Vatican is the world's smallest state. Outside the Vatican City itself, 13 buildings in Rome and Castel Gandolfo, the Pope's summer residence, also enjoy extraterritorial rights. On April 19, 2005, Josef Cardinal Ratzinger was elected as Pope Benedict XVI.
The origin of the Papal States, which over the years have varied considerably in extent, may be traced back to AD 756 with the Donation of Pepin. However the popes were the de facto rulers of Rome and the surrounding province since the fall of the Roman Empire and the retreat of Byzantine power in Italy. Popes in their secular role ruled portions of the Italian peninsula for more than a thousand years until the mid 19th century, when many of the Papal States were seized by the newly united Kingdom of Italy. In 1870, the pope's holdings were further circumscribed when Rome itself was annexed.
Disputes between a series of "prisoner" popes and Italy were resolved in 1929 by three Lateran Treaties, which established the independent state of Vatican City and granted Roman Catholicism special status in Italy. On 11 February 1929, three treaties were signed with Italy which, among other things, recognized the full sovereignty of the Vatican and established its territorial extent.
In 1984, a concordat between the Holy See and Italy modified certain of the earlier treaty provisions, including the primacy of Roman Catholicism as the Italian state religion.
The pope is elected for life by the College of Cardinals. When the election was last held (Tuesday, April 19, 2005. Benedict XVI), it attracted large crowds. Pope Benedict XVI's predecessor Pope John Paul II's Inauguration Day (he was never crowned) of 22 October 1978 was also a major event.
Present concerns of the Holy See include interreligious dialogue and reconciliation, and the application of church doctrine in an era of rapid change and globalization. About 1 billion people worldwide profess the Catholic faith.
The Vatican sits on a low hill between 19 m and 75 m above sea level. With a boundary only 3.2 km around, the enclosed land area is smaller than some shopping malls. However the buildings are far more historic and architecturally interesting. When talking about terrian, most of the country's area is the vatican gardens
Although 1000 people live within Vatican City, many dignitaries, priests, nuns, guards, and 3,000 lay workers live outside the Vatican. Officially, there are about 800 citizens making it the smallest nation in demographic size on the globe. The Vatican even fields a soccer team composed of the Swiss Guard who hold dual citizenship.
Get in
It's easy to get to the Vatican by taxi, bus or by foot from Rome—the closest neighborhood on the other side of the Tiber being Navona. A beautiful experience can be get to San Peter walking from Piazza Venezia, along Via del Plebiscito, Corso Vittorio Emanuele and then Via della Conciliazione (or, if you want, from Termini, walking along Via Nazionale), in the closest aproximation to the Whashingtonian "National Mall" or Parisian Voie Imperiale that Rome has to offer you. Take the Metro line A to Cipro for the Museums, or Ottaviano for St. Peter's, or the tram to Piazza del Risorgimento.
From Central Rome, the #64 bus goes right to the southern end of the Vatican, but it is filled with pickpockets so guard your valuables!
Get around
With 109 acres (44 hectares) within its walls, the Vatican is easily traveled by foot; however, most of this area is inaccessible to tourists. The most popular areas open to tourists are the Basilica of St. Peter and the Vatican Museums.
If you're heading up Monte Mario, wear comfortable shoes—it's quite a climb!
Latin enthusiasts rejoice! There is one country in the world that holds Latin (in addition to Italian) as its official language, and you can indeed get by within the city state only using the "dead" language. Italian, however, remains the more useful of the two. English is widely spoken here, as are most major languages of the world—this is the Vatican, a city for the world's Catholics and all who wish to see St. Peter's Basilica.
Swiss Guard
Swiss Guards Corps (Corpo della Guardia Svizzera) Swiss Papal Guards are posted at entrances to the Vatican City to provide security and protect the Pope. They wear very colourful clothing, similar to the clothing of court jesters; winter palette of clothing differs from summer palette. In contrast to popular belief, the design of the Papal Guard uniforms was modeled after the colors of the Medici family (4 of whom were popes), not from Michaelangelo. The Pontifical Swiss Guards is also the smallest and oldest standing army in the world founded in 1506 by the warrior pope Julius II (the same pope who kick started the construction of this 'new' basilica and making Michelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel). The origins of the Swiss guards, however, go much further. The popes, as well as a lot of European rulers, regularly imported Swiss mercenaries since the 1400's. Swiss mercenaries were a major export of Switzerland before they started making watches.
St Peter's Basilica
The centre of the Catholic world, this magnificent basilica with its Michelangelo designed dome has an awe-inspiring interior. This place is huge, but everything is in such proportion that the scale escapes you. To give you a comparison, you can fit the Statue of Liberty, statue and pedestal (height from ground of pedestal to torch: 93m), underneath the dome (interior height of 120m from floor to top of dome) with room to spare.
To get in, you will first go through a metal detector (after all,this is an important building). Don't be put off if there is a long line in front of the detectors; the whole thing moves quickly. The line is usually shorter in the morning and during mid week.
Aside from going inside, you can take an elevator up to the roof and then make a long climb up 323 steps to the top of the dome for a spectacular view. It costs €7 for the elevator (€5 to climb the stairs) and allow an hour to go up and down. During the climb and before reaching the very top, you will find yourself standing on the inside of the dome, looking down into the Basilica itself. Be warned that there are a lot of stairs so it is not for the faint at heart (literally or figuratively) nor the claustrophobic as the very last section of the ascent is through a little more than shoulder-width spiral staircase. Instead of leaving out the doors you came in, go down into the crypt to see the tomb of Pope John Paul II, the crypt leaves out the front.
Note: A strict dress code is enforced (as in many other houses of worship), so have shoulders covered, wear trousers or a not-too-short dress, and take your hats off (which is the custom in churches in Europe, women must wear scarves or some thing to cover their heads. You might be required to check bags at the entrance. Photos are allowed to be taken inside, but not with a flash. The lack of light will probably cause your pictures not to turn out very well, so you may want to buy a few postcards to keep as souvenirs.
The basilica is open daily April to September 9AM-7PM and October to March 9AM-6PM; closed Wednesday mornings for papal audiences.
Daily mass at 8:30AM, 10AM, 11AM, 12PM, & 5PM Monday to Saturday, and Sundays & holidays at 8:30AM, 10:30AM, 11:30AM, 12:10AM, 1PM, 4PM, & 5:30PM.
Free 90 minute tours leave daily from the Tourist Information at 2:15PM, many days also at 3PM. Telephone: 06-6988-1662. €5 audio-guides can be rented from the checkroom.
Tours are the only way to see the Vatican Gardens, €12, book at least a day in advance by calling 06-6988-4676, Tuesday, Thursday, & Saturday at 10AM, depart from tour desk and finish in St. Peter's Square. To tour the Necropolis and Saint's Tomb, call the excavations office at least a week in advance at 06-6988-5318, €10 for 2 hour tour, office open Monday to Saturday 9AM-5PM.
If you want to see the pope, you can either see a usual blessing from his apartment at noon on Sunday, just show up (but in the summer he gives it from his summer residence at Castel Gandolfo, 25 miles from Rome) or you can go to the more formal Wednesday appearance. The pope arrives in the popemobile at 10:30AM to bless crowds from a balcony or platform, except in winter, when he speaks in the Aula Paola VI Auditorium next to the square. You can easily watch from a distance, or get a free ticket, which you must get on the Tuesday before. There are a number of ways:
The pope may occasionally be away on a state visit, however.
St. Peter's Piazza
The Piazza di San Pietro is actually an ellipse. There are two stones (one on each side of the square) between the obelisk and the fountains. If you step on either of these stones, the four columns on the colonnades merge into one. The fountains were made by two different architects, Maderno and Bernini.
The obelisk in the middle of the square was transported from Egypt to Rome in 37 A.D. by the Emperor Gaius Caligula to mark the spine of a circus eventually completed by the Emperor Nero. The so-called Circus of Nero was parallel to and to the south of the east-west axis of the current Basilica. It was in this circus that St. Peter was killed in the first official persecutions of Christians undertaken by Nero beginning in 64 A.D. and continuing until his death in 67 A.D. The original location of the obelisk is marked with a plaque located near the sacristy on the south side of the Basilica, where it remained until it was moved in 1586 A.D. by Pope Sixtus V to its present location.
During the Middle Ages, the bronze ball on top of the obelisk was believed to contain the ashes of Julius Caesar. When it was relocated, the present reliquary, the Chigi Star in honor of Pope Alexander VII, was added containing pieces of the True Cross. This is the only obelisk in Rome that never toppled since it was placed in ancient Rome and is the second largest Egyptian obelisk after the Lateran obelisk. This celebrated obelisk nearly shattered while it was being moved. Upon orders of the pope, no one was to speak a word otherwise he would be excommunicated. However, a sailor shouted to water the ropes to prevent them from burning. He was forgiven and in gratitude for saving the day, the palms for Palm Sunday still come from the sailor's home town of Bordighera. The moving of this obelisk was celebrated in engravings during its time to commemorate the Renaissance's recovery and mastery of ancient knowledge.
The Vatican Museum
[27] One of the greatest art galleries in the world, the museum is most famous for its spiral staircase, the Raphael Rooms and the exquisitely decorated Sistine Chapel famous for Michelangelo's frescos. It's organized so you follow a one-way route. Price: €15 for visitors, €8.00 for concessions. Open Monday to Saturday 9:00AM-6:00PM, closed Sunday except last Sunday of the month, when its free, crowded, and open 9:00AM-2:00PM. Last entry 120 (90 mins on open Sundays) minutes before closing time, Sistine Chapel closes before rest of museum does. The museum is closed for holidays on: January 1 & 6, February 11, March 19, April 4 & 5, May 1 , June 29, August 14 & 15, November 1, and December 8, 25, & 26.
The Museum is usually the most hot & crowded Saturday, Monday, the last Sunday of the month, rainy days, and days before or after a holiday. Dress code: no short shorts or bare shoulders. Telephone: +39 06 69884947. There are often lengthy queues from the entrance that stretch around the block in the early morning. Non-guided visitors should join the queue that is to the left as you are facing the entrance; the queue on the right is intended for guided group visitors. Two hour English tours cost €31 and includes museum admission, and leave at 10:30AM, 12PM, & 2PM in summer, 10:30AM & 11:15AM in winter. To reserve, book online [28]. Other contact details: for groups [email protected], for individuals: [email protected], tel. + 39 06 69883145 or +39 06 69884676, fax + 39 06 69873250.
With a booking you skip the queue and enter through the exit, next to entry, to go to the guided tours desk. There are also audio-guides available from the top of the escalator/ramp for €7. Two people to share a single unit plugging in a standard set of earphones.
Accessing the Sistine Chapel requires walking through many other (spectacular) halls and buildings (including the Raphael's Rooms) and it takes about an hour. Note that although the Museum is quite large, no free map is available - you must bring your own, or purchase a guidebook in the shop for €10 or more.
Also, be aware that it is not allowed to take pictures or talk loudly in the Sistine Chapel. While one may agree with this policy or not, the visit would be a much more pleasant one without the guards having to yell out Shh! or No foto e no video!! every two minutes. The bottom line is: respect the rules and let every visitor enjoy the best of the experience. If you try to sneak a picture (like most people do), you'll get a bad photograph and a screaming guard as your reward.
The two main entrances to Vatican City for tourists are A) the Vatican Museums, accessible from Viale Vaticano on the North side of the city state and B) St. Peter's Basilica, on the Southeast side of the city and accessible from Via della Conciliazione. While St. Peter's Basilica is open all day long, the Vatican Museum entrance does close at 3:30PM on weekdays and 12:20PM on Saturdays, so it is a good idea to first visit the museums and then the church.
While guidebooks do their best to provide an aid for viewing the collections inside the Vatican, a guided tour is a far better way to make sure you get the most out of your visit.
Beware of a "sweet & kind" Australian woman advertising tours right at the top of the Vatican metro exit. Her company's tour is over priced (at 45 euro), the guide speaks incomprehensible English, and the audio equipment is very low quality. They do not offer refunds.
Vatican Tours
Guided tours are provided by the Vatican itself for the cost of 30.00 Euro. These may be requested in advance by fax from one month to one week before the requested tour date, or online from two months before the requested tour date. The Vatican is notorious for failing to reply via fax, and repeat requests are often necessary. Full details on booking such tours are available at [29]
The Vatican has a unique, noncommercial economy that is supported financially by contributions (known as Peter's Pence) from Roman Catholics throughout the world. It also sells postage stamps, tourist mementos, and publications. Fees for admission to museums also go into church coffers.
Vatican City State has the euro (€) as its sole currency along with 24 other countries that use this common European money. These 24 countries are: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain (official euro members which are all European Union member states) as well as Andorra, Kosovo, Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino and the Vatican which use it without having a say in eurozone affairs and without being European Union members. Together, these countries have a population of more than 330 million.
One euro is divided into 100 cents. While each official euro member (as well as Monaco, San Marino and Vatican) issues its own coins with a unique obverse, the reverse, as well as all bank notes, look the same throughout the eurozone. Every coin is legal tender in any of the eurozone countries.
The Vatican is the only country in the world where ATM instructions are available in Latin.
The Vatican Museums have a reasonable cafeteria style restaurant, a bar, and a pizzeria, all of which are open during museum opening hours, and until about one hour after closing. See also Rome.
Seasoned travelers will know how to tip, and how to ask for the price at the counter, instead of buying at the over-rated 'sit-down' full-price. Better to tip and be welcome again the next day, than ridiculing everyone by paying triple or at least double.
Coffee in the morning (un caffè, per favore!, grazie!), mineral water for lunch (gassata/non-gassata? or frizzante/fizzante), and try to find rosé wine in the evening: it goes very well with all Italian traditional dishes, and keeps one and one's company fresh and summery. Care and solid experience is advised when arriving from colder climates, to absorb the many new, ever so pleasant, enviroments and tastes, and the delicates of balancing wine and water, with creamy sauces and vinegars.
Unless you count the Pope as a good friend (and he concurs), there are no lodging opportunities in the Vatican City itself. However, there are many hotels in the surrounding Vaticano neighborhood of Rome.
Mid range
Mail a letter - Since Vatican City is a separate country, it also has its own postal system, which is generally considered to be a bit more reliable than that of Italy. Send a postcard to your friends and it will be postmarked from Vatican City.
Since Vatican City is a Papal state, such respect and reverence to the Roman Catholic Church and its practices and doctrine is encouraged.
Sleeveless shirts and short pants or skirts are not permitted within the border of the Vatican.

Shredded Pork Barbecue
I was getting tired of grilling hot dogs and hamburgers at cookouts, especially if rain ruined our plans, so these sandwiches are a nice change.

Neglected Tonkatsu
If you're thinking, "That...doesn't look anything like tonkatsu," you're right. I think San-X took some creative liberties with this character.

Tonkatsu is part of San-X's Sumikko Gurashi line, which NBC Piece translates as meaning creatures who love being in corners. Tonkatsu is described as "the last piece of fried pork cutlet that consists of 1% meat and 99% fat. He is always left behind due to his fat content." Someone give this guy a corner.

Kafka used to spend part of his youth there. One of the original houses used to belong to a Dutch tanner Engel in the 17th century who was the first to make soles from hard leather in Prague; thanks to this invention he became so rich that he could buy an aristocratic title and mansion Mníšek pod Brdy.

Founding Deep Purple Keyboard Player Jon Lord Dies at 71
There's sad news to report as legendary Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord has passed away at the age of 71. A statement at the musician's official website reports that the musician suffered a fatal pulmonary embolism in London on Monday (July 16) after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
Lord was a founding member of Deep Purple in 1968 and he co-wrote some of the band's most famous tunes, including 'Smoke on the Water,' and later enjoyed a solo career after his retirement from Deep Purple in 2002. The band split in 1976, but Lord was with them when they reformed in 1984 and they went on to record six more studio albums with him as part of the lineup.
In addition to Deep Purple, Lord performed with David Coverdale as part of metal favorites Whitesnake between 1978 and 1984, and his synth and organ work with both bands would influence metal musicians for years to come. With Whitesnake, he would appear on the albums 'Trouble,' 'Lovehunter,' 'Ready an' Willing,' 'Come an' Get It,' 'Saints & Sinners,' and the standout disc, 'Slide it In.'
The keyboardist also recorded a pair of solo records in the '80s, with 'Before I Forget' being a mainstream rock album and the other being a soundtrack for the TV series 'Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady.' His career also included a number of orchestral recordings, as 'Pictured Within' and 'Beyond the Notes' became highly regarded releases in his catalog.
Lord's website stated that he was "surrounded by his loving family" at the time of his death. He had been planning a comeback show July 12, but had to cancel the performance due to his ailing health. The keyboardist is survived by his wife Vickie and two daughters – Amy and Sara.

Your Favorite Space Could Win You $500 From Porch.comPosted in Windermere Premier by Shelley Rossi
Last week we launched our #OdeToMyAbode photo contest and the pics of people's favorite rooms and spaces are really quite inspiring. There's still time for you to post a photo of your favorite space for a chance to win $500 in home improvement services from Porch.com. Just go here, or post it to Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #OdeToMyAbode, by Friday, February 27.
Prefer to just look? For the voyeur in all of us, go here to peruse the photos we've collected so far and vote for your favorites. The pic with the most votes wins! In the meantime, we thought we'd provide motivation from some of our favorite luxury listings on Windermere.com. These rooms really take #OdeToMyAbode to a whole new level.
A grand entrance
Talk about a great first impression; check out the wallpaper in this glorious entryway. We're halfway expecting Rita Hayworth to come sauntering down those stairs in kitten heels and a fur stole.
We are family
This photo proves that family rooms can be both functional and fabulous. And a pop of orange never hurt anyone. That table at the back of the room could seat a small army (of children).
A room with a view
An incredible, jaw-dropping view from the famous Escala building in downtown Seattle. We could host dinner parties in this space all week long and twice on Sunday. #PagingMrGrey
Grab your hot stones and a robe
Marble counters? Soothing color palette? Cool rectangle-shaped bathtub complete with candles? Check, check, and check. Really, what more could you ask for from a spa, I mean bathroom? In our opinion, this is total perfection.
The Home Theater (or is it Theatre?)
The key to the perfect home theater starts with super cush seating, larger-than-life surround sound, and a crystal clear, high-def TV – 3D perhaps? Top it all off with a snack bar that would do Han Solo proud.
Outdoor Oasis
OK, ok, we can't all live in Hawaii where this redonkulous photo was taken, but outdoor spaces come in all shapes, sizes, and weather patterns. Just ask anyone who lives in Seattle.
The center of the universe
It's true what they say about kitchens. They're where everyone wants to be. Doesn't matter if it's a tiny little studio kitchen or something more along the lines of this fabuleuse cuisine (as the French say). We love the marble/butcher block combo counters. And the built-in cookbook case adds a nice touch. Do we spy Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cuisine? Oui Madame.
So, these are some of our favorite things when it comes to cool rooms and spaces. What about you? You can still enter our #OdeToMyAbode contest by posting your photo here: http://bit.ly/1uVaVIB. You can also post it on Twitter or Instagram with the #OdeToMyAbode hashtag. Remember, the photo with the most votes gets $500 in services from Porch.com.

United are enduring a desperate campaign, crashing out of both domestic cup competitions in surprising circumstances and suffering their eighth Premier League defeat of the season at Stoke on Saturday.
That result has left the Red Devils seven points adrift of fourth-placed Liverpool, with their chance of qualifying for next season's Champions League fading fast.
Little wonder some observers have started to question Moyes' suitability to replace Sir Alex Ferguson, even if most match-going fans are sticking with the Scot for now.
Pallister is too, having been convinced Moyes was the right man to inherit one of the biggest jobs in the game, even if he had never won a major trophy.
And, once Moyes gets in the men he wants to strengthen his squad, the former United defender is confident he will prove it.
Speaking at the launch of the 2014 FA Community Awards, presented by McDonald's, Pallister said: "He will get it right.
"I can understand why people are writing Manchester United off but I am not going to change my mind.
"For me David Moyes was the right man to take over the job
I still think that.
"You have to give him time to understand what the club is all about.
"Sir Alex Ferguson said you have to give him time
Everybody understood that.
"A big transition is taking place
It is not something that is going to happen overnight."
Indeed, Pallister has not given up on United's clinching a top-four spot, especially since the club record ?37.1million arrival of Juan Mata.
"Mata is a great signing," said Pallister.
"He will have a terrific career at Manchester United.
"I am sure once he gets used to the new players and they get used to him, they will create a lot more chances than they have done previously.
"It hasn't gone to plan so far but there are still enough games left to make it a good season.
"We have every chance of getting a top-four slot and a good game coming up against Olympiacos in a few weeks with a great chance of getting through to the following rounds of the Champions League.
"Then in the summer I think he will buy more players.
"Manchester United will be back
I am certain of that, vying at the top of the league and looking for trophies."
However, Pallister does acknowledge this season's problems are a new experience for an entire generation of United fans, who have known nothing but success.
He does though
For when the 48-year-old signed for the club from Middlesbrough in 1989, they were in the middle of what would have been their worst season since they were relegated had it not been for that 1990 FA Cup win, after which Ferguson enjoyed so much success.
"I remember my first year at Manchester United," said Pallister.
"At one stage we were a defeat away from going into the relegation zone.
"We got so much stick for being the size of club we were and not winning the championship for 26 years.
"The the senior professionals, Bryan Robson and Mal Donaghy, told the young lads to keep doing their jobs and it would come right.
"Ryan Giggs was one of those young lads then
Now he will be imparting that same experience to people like Adnan Januzaj, Danny Welbeck and Tom Cleverley."

The Peace Officers Research Association of California became the second entity to reject paying its share of the reward pot issued during the manhunt for a murderous ex-police officer, union president Ron Cottingham said Friday.
The 64,000-member union joins the city of Riverside, which on Monday pulled its $100,000 from the $1.2 million reward saying conditions were not met. Payout of the reward was contingent on Christopher Dorner's arrest and conviction, a spokeswoman for the city told NBC4.
The Peace Officers Research Association had previously offered $50,000 to the reward.
Local news from across Southern California
After killing two law enforcement agents and a newly engaged couple in a revenge-fueled shooting spree, Dorner died in an apparent suicide on Feb. 12 during a standoff with authorities and cabin burning near Big Bear.
With little debate or discussion, the Riverside City Council voted unanimously to post the reward during the frenzied manhunt, even after it was told the fugitive's demise was likely to be announced soon.
Riverside city leaders defended their decision to vote after Dorner didn't emerge from the burning cabin following a gunfight with law enforcement.
There were conflicting reports the night of the vote about whether Dorner's body had been found, said Councilman Mike Gardner.
"There was never an intent to authorize a reward knowing it wouldn't be paid," Gardner said.
After Riverside pulled its slice of the reward, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Police Chief Charlie Beck said they want to the see the reward paid.
Cobbled together quickly as the manhunt for Dorner went cold on a snowy mountain where the ex-officer abandoned his truck, the reward was hastily announced over a weekend by multiple police chiefs and mayors.
It was never formally put in writing and was offered before public boards were able to authorize the money or set conditions for payment. Officials are expected to announce the payout by mid-April.
A lawyer for the couple who called police after Dorner tied them up in their Big Bear Lake condominium and fled in their car shortly before his death accused Riverside of reneging on an offer that was never genuinely made.
"The mayor knew full well that he wasn't going to be convicted when he authorized the resolution," attorney Kirk Hallam said.
"It is completely disingenuous for him to stand up there now and say, 'Oh we weren't legally authorized to issue this.' Really? That's not what you said when you offered the ordinance to the City Council after the facts were already known."
Hallam, who represents Karen and Jim Reynolds, said his clients deserve the money because they put police on Dorner's trail. Despite being bound and gagged, and told not to alert police, Karen Reynolds managed to call 911 to report that Dorner had fled in their purple SUV.
During the ensuing pursuit, Dorner crashed their SUV and carjacked a pickup truck from Rick Heltebrake, who also called authorities. He, too, filed a claim for the reward.
Hallam said Riverside should consider reviewing a state law that provides for the governor to pay rewards in police officers' killings even if the arrest or conviction is "rendered impossible by an intervening event, including but not limited to, the death of the person during a pursuit by law enforcement."
Frank Zimring, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, said the city of Riverside can legally not pay the reward, but it could hurt the city in the future.
"The problem is going to come the next time Riverside wants to get the public's attention by offering a reward, because the issue is really the community's long-term credibility," Zimring said.
While the city of Riverside has pulled its reward, the county specifically changed its reward language to assure it wasn't only symbolic.
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors met the day after Dorner's death to authorize its $100,000 contribution. After some debate, the board voted unanimously to approve the amount and to change the language from "arrest and conviction" to "apprehension."
"The bottom line is if these individuals were helpful to get law enforcement to put this issue to an end ... then it should be offered," Supervisor John Tavaglione said during the meeting.

Herbal Tea
The thought of herbal tea brings to mind the sensory thrill of herbs, the medicinal and health benefits these teas possess, and maybe even an internal debate about loose leaf vs. herbal tea bags. But did you know that "herb teas" are not officially teas? In the purest sense, only the leaves and buds of Camellia sinensis, the plant that gives us black, oolong, green, and white tea should be called tea. Technical fun facts aside, caffeine free herbal teas offer a range of health benefits and can play a role in natural weight loss. Plus, natural herbs tea is just plain delicious to buy and drink!
Organic Turmeric Stackable Tea Tin
Each individual airtight compartment contains 12 natural, unbleached, round tea bags.
Turmeric Matcha: Organic Tea For Flexibility*
Turmeric, ginger and green tea have been reputed to support the body's response to inflammation so joints, ligaments and muscles can stretch more fully.* Matcha lends a smooth finish and lasting energy.
Turmeric Ginger: Organic Spice of Life Green Tea
Smooth green tea blended with ginger, cinnamon and honey flavor steep a captivating, golden infusion. Also nice cooled and served on ice.
Turmeric Cinnamon: Organic Herbs - Farm to Cup
The spices in this herbal blend are grown by a collective of certified Biodynamic� farms in Sri Lanka committed to biodiversity and sustainability. Turmeric and cinnamon give way to an earthy and full-bodied cup.

Mark explains how chord fingerings must be altered when applying "liquid chord" concepts. He also provides a few new "liquid chord" exercises.
Taught by Mark Lincoln in Basic Guitar with Mark Lincoln seriesLength: 11:10Difficulty: 2.0 of 5
- Stretch the wrists.Now that you are warmed up and refreshed, it's time to move on with the lesson. Chapter 4: (04:20) D Chord Exercise One of the most important aspects of being able to play your chords in a more flexible and liquid fashion is the ability to position your hands in different ways. Up to this point, we have primarily discussed chord positions as a relatively stable facet of guitar. However, I'm hoping that you will remember that from the beginning of this lesson series I have told you that it's important to be able to play your chords in every way possible. Today I'll show you why.
- Play the major and minor open chords.
- Warm up your strumming muscles by relaxing the wrists and letting the pick flow over the strings.
- Play the E major chord in the 'new' way and play the type 1 barre chords.
- Play the A major chord in the 'new' way and play the type 2 barre chords.
- Practice the "slanting A'" technique.
- Practice the type 1 minor barre chords.
- Practice the type 2 minor barre chords.
- Play all of the type 1 mini-barre chords.
- Play all of the type 2 mini-bar chords.
- Review and Practice New Techniques.
Hi Mark, I like your style of playing, and am already learning. I just have to keep going and put it all together! Funny, about the 12 string vs. 6 string comment - Tom Petty in concert said the same thing, it was funny the way he said it to the audience - "and the difference is...one has 6 strings and one has 12" - audience cracked up!
Hey there Mark, just wanted to say I like your style bro. Getting a lot from your recording series of lessons...cheers
Great refresher lessons on chord progressions.Eatin' this stuff up.Anxious to get on to my new Les Paul Classic(rocker dude) I got for Christmas.I owed it to myself to relearn long forgotten chords before that.To think,the Doctors' said I would never play again.LOL.
Awesome job Mark....you are making us think!!
Mark, thanks for the useful lessons, but may I ask, I feel there is something missing in this lesson set, like about reading notes and playing them (I watched a lesson set called Learn & Master Guitar and the author put lessons about this first) but your lessons seem to be just about chords. Is that a comprehensive approach to guitar learning? Just curious.
You basically hit the nail on the head! Mark is teaching the way he learned. You may want to check out a few other teacher's lessons though who get a bit more into the type of stuff you are asking about.
Great lesson Mark- and yes my hand is aching, but I'm loving it.
Nice Mike, good to hear from!
Good stuff Mark. I just started with jamplay and I've already learned a ton. Look forward to the rest of your lessons.

About Mark Lincoln
View Full Biography
Mark Lincoln was born in S. California but was raised near Portland Oregon in a town called Beaverton. When he was twelve years old, he began his journey into the realm of the creative by composing poetry and was later published in a journal called "In Dappled Sunlight." He wrote for four years until his older sister blessed him with his first guitar, an old beat-up nylon stringed classical guitar. Mark played that guitar for five years, continuing to compose his own lyrics and starting the process of matching his own words with chords that he was learning on the guitar. He learned to play chords from his friends and from music books that he both bought and borrowed. Mark cited his four biggest influences, at that point at least, as The Who, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, The Rolling Stones.
Mark cites his most current influences as Radiohead, U2, older music by REM, and Peter Gabriel amongst others. He performs with two acoustic guitars, one being a six-string M-36 Martin with a three-pieced back for increased bass response, and a Guild Twelve-string which is his most recent acquisition. Mark is fond of saying that the twelve-string guitar is better because you get two guitars for the price of one, but he still plays his Martin equally as much and with the same passion.
Mark ended up in Fort Collins Colorado where he currently lives, works as a Marriage and Family Therapist, and continues to write, teach and perform music. He currently performs with a group called "Black Nelson" as well as with a number of other seasoned professional musicians including his cousin David, a virtuoso lead-guitar player. Mark has performed in many of the smaller venues in Denver and Boulder, as well as some of the larger ones including the Fox Theatre, The Boulder Theatre, Herman's Hideaway, and also at The Soiled Dove where he opened for Jefferson Starship as a soloist. Some of Mark's originals are also available for your listening pleasure on MySpace.

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

It was the two eyes peering out from the thick foliage that caught my attention. Dark, unblinking. The rain was beating down steadily, saturating the black soil and creating pools of gooey ooze, and I sank in to the tops of my boots with each step. Soaked and tired, I was slowly making my way through a kipuka — a tropical oasis surrounded by a sea of jagged lava — deep within the wilderness on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Were they really eyes? Maybe my tired mind was playing tricks on me. I took off my backpack, lay my rifle against a moss-covered stump and got down on my knees, then crawled on my belly into the dripping brush for a better look. The eyes were still there. They blinked. A pig? If so, how big? Better back off, just in case — the dark eyes were only a dozen feet away.
I retreated and sat down next to my pack. The dark eyes moved a few feet closer. I crouched down again for a better view. In fits and starts, the eyes came closer and closer, and then a trembling, soaked, bloodstained dog emerged from the dense brush. When I extended my hand, the dog turned her head away from me and lay on her side.
I sat down next to her and moved my head so that her eyes could meet mine. She turned away from me again. I stroked the back of her head, ready to withdraw if she showed signs of aggression. But though she was shaking, she remained in place, and I continued to stroke her head and speak in soft, reassuring tones. She wore no collar, no tags. Her paws were raw and covered in blood, and there were open wounds on her neck and shoulders.
Sign up for our newsletter and stay in the know.
This kipuka was just outside a rain forest where wild boar roamed in abundance, destroying the fragile native ecosystem that is rapidly disappearing on the Big Island. It is the wild boar that hunters seek, but the region is so remote and so difficult to access that few venture in. I was one of those hunters — my pack full of survival gear and meat, rifle in one hand and walking stick in the other, 12 hours of brutal hiking behind me.
The few other hunters who were willing to make the effort use dogs, in the Hawaiian tradition, and it seemed likely that this was a hunting dog who had wandered away and become lost. Or maybe she wasn't performing up to par and the hunter had abandoned her. Either way, it was obvious she would not survive long on her own. The dog rolled slowly onto her back, all four ravaged paws in the air. I rubbed her belly and she looked up at me. Two dark eyes, unblinking.
Cold rain was falling, and I had an hour of hiking along a vague and sometimes nonexistent trail of slippery lava rock and mud ahead of me, and an hour until darkness set in; my pack was full, my body was worn. In this remote area, there was no cell phone coverage and so no way to let my wife, Kim, know where I was. If I spent the night with the dog, my wife, fearing the worst, would call search and rescue. If I left my pack behind and carried the dog and then ran into trouble along the trail — broken ankle, hypothermia, disorientation — I would have to activate my emergency radio beacon, which would alert a search-andrescue service that would pinpoint my location and send in a rescue helicopter. In this horrible weather — clouds, rain, poor visibility — the rescue team would be at risk, and if something tragic happened, it would be my fault.
I unrolled my poncho and fashioned a crude shelter, tying the corners to pieces of brush, adequate to keep out most of the rain. I then opened my three remaining packages of field rations and poured the contents onto some moss beneath the poncho. The dog immediately crawled under the shelter and attacked the food. Two or three minutes later, not a morsel remained. I poured water into my cupped hand and held it out to her. She lapped it up and licked my palm. I repeated this a dozen times and she drank every drop I offered.
The rain beat against the poncho and the wind began to blow down off the slopes of Mauna Loa on its way to the sea. It was noticeably darker when I shouldered my backpack, picked up my rifle and turned to leave. The dog crawled after me for a few yards and then stopped. She barked twice, two soft yelps. I turned and looked back at her. Two dark eyes, unblinking.
It was nine at night by the time I got home and told Kim the story. She tilted her head and stared at me.
Two blue eyes, unblinking.
"You left her out in the middle of nowhere? In the rain?"
"I couldn't carry her. I was already overloaded and exhausted. I never would have made it out."
"So you just left her?"
"I built her a shelter."
"And then you left her."
I showered, ate dinner and went to bed. There was no conversation, only silence. As I stared at the ceiling fan, all I could see were two dark eyes, unblinking.
My wife woke up shortly after midnight, alone. I was driving south along the coast on my way back to the trailhead. The rain was still pouring and the wind was still blowing. I took a potholed road up into the mountains and pulled off at the trailhead, shouldered my backpack — this time much lighter, since I was carrying only basic survival gear and my sleeping bag — adjusted my headlamp and started up the trail. I slipped often and fell hard twice and thought all the while just what a foolish quest this was. But the two dark eyes haunted me and I kept trudging until I came to the kipuka and the poncho shelter.
No dog.
I looked around but found nothing. Suddenly, frantic barking came from beneath a stunted ohia tree 15 yards away. I turned and the light from my headlamp illuminated two eyes. I walked toward the tree, but the dog crawled frantically backward into the thick foliage. The closer I moved, the farther away the dog crawled. Afraid she would injure herself, I untied the poncho, spread it out on the ground, lay my sleeping bag on top and crawled in.
I drifted in and out of sleep; each time I woke, I shined the headlamp where the dog had been and each time the still-crouching dog was several feet closer. I was in the twilight zone between reality and dream when I felt something nudging the sleeping bag. Then, a warm tongue lapped the side of my face. I unzipped the sleeping bag and she crawled in with me, shaking violently. I zipped up the bag and held her close. The shaking slowly subsided and the two of us fell asleep, her head next to mine.
I hiked out at first light, carrying the dog in my arms. Back at the truck, I bundled her in beach towels and put her gently on the floor behind the passenger seat. As she rested, I took out the piece of plywood and felt pen I had brought from home and printed, in bold letters:
I added my home phone number and nailed the plywood to a tree alongside the road.
Kim was waiting when I pulled into our driveway. I handed her the toweled bundle and the dog immediately licked her face. We went inside and Kim called our vet. Four months later, Laka (a name from Hawaiian mythology) — healed, spayed, microchipped and the happiest dog on earth — graduated from obedience school, albeit at the bottom of her class, since she much preferred to chase butterflies and play than to obey commands. Her relationship with our other two dogs — Gypsy, the Brittany, and Penny Lane, the Dachshund — had evolved from daily fireworks to a fragile détente to having her own place on the couch, sandwiched between Gypsy and Penny Lane.
Then the call came. Kim handed me the phone.
"Hello," I said.
The voice on the other end was male.
"You found my dog. I saw the sign on the side of the road."
I felt my knees weaken. It had been four months since I found Laka but I had never gone back to remove the plywood sign.
"How long ago did you lose her?" I asked.
"'Bout five months. Got her at the pound. She a scared kinda dog and it was her first hunt. I saw your sign 'bout a month after she run off."
Five months ago. That meant Laka had survived on her own for a month in a hostile environment, living on vegetation and fetid water.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Pig got her and she get cut up pretty bad. She run away." "Can you describe her?" I asked.
He described her perfectly, right down to the wounds on her neck and shoulders and her weight of about 18 pounds. My heart sank. I looked over at Laka, lying on the couch between Gypsy and Penny Lane. Three pairs of dark eyes, unblinking.
"I'm sure sorry," I said. "The dog I found weighs about 45 pounds and she was in great shape when I found her. No wounds at all."
I hung up the phone and went into the garage. Grabbing a hammer from the workbench, I went back into the house, picked up my keys and wallet, and walked toward the door. Kim knew where I was going. Three hours later, I pulled back into our driveway, the plywood sign in the bed of the truck. I tossed the sign into the trash can and went inside the house.
The four women in my life were on the couch, watching television. They all looked up at me: four pairs of eyes — three pairs dark and one pair blue. Three of the women wagged their tails and the fourth one smiled.

Wisconsin holds off Bemidji State 3-2
Badgers survive after scoring game's first three goals
MADISON, Wis. — No. 19 Wisconsin (12-9-7, 9-6-7 WCHA) used goals from non-traditional sources to grab a 3-2 victory over Bemidji State (5-17-6, 4-13-5 WCHA) and an important two points in the WCHA standings Saturday at the Kohl Center.
Junior forward Keegan Meuer, with his second goal of the season, and junior forward Brendan Woods, with his third goal of the year, got the Badgers a 2-0 lead by 12:06 of the first period.

After a goaltending change, BSU cut the lead to 3-1 with an Aaron McLeod power-play goal at 17:21. Brance Orban made it 3-2 with a goal at 3:14 of the third period to finish the scoring.
Wisconsin goalie Landon Peterson made 18 saves to improve to 6-3-3 on the season.
Wisconsin is currently tied with Minnesota State and Denver for fifth place with 25 points, one point out of third place in the WCHA standings. Denver is currently trailing against Colorado College.

Newswise — When we think of the holiday season, pleasant and joyous thoughts come to mind but each and every year there are those families for whom the holidays turn tragic.
According to Dr. Robert S. Fleming, a professor of management at Rowan University and a nationally recognized authority on fire and emergency preparedness, the United States Fire Administration said fires during the holiday season each year claim the lives of more than 400 people, injure 1,650 more and cause more than $990 million in damage within the United States.
Fleming offers a number of life-saving actions that you can take to ensure a safe holiday season. The four primary areas of concern regarding holiday fire safety are hazards associated with Christmas trees, holiday lights, holiday decorations and candles.
Each year, according to the United States Fire Administration, more than 33 million American homes incorporate a natural tree in their holiday season celebration, and Christmas trees account for 200 fires annually, resulting in six deaths, 25 injuries and more than $6 million in property damage. Fire safety precautions are essential in that a burning tree can rapidly fill a room with fire and deadly gases.
Christmas tree fire safety begins with selecting an appropriate tree. If the tree has been freshly cut, needles should be green and hard to pull back from the branches, and the trunk should be sticky to the touch. If you bounce the tree trunk on the ground and too many needles fall off, it is a sign that it has dried out and is a fire hazard.
Placement of the tree is extremely important. Trees should not be placed close to a heat source, including heat vents and fireplaces, since the heat will dry out the tree and make it more susceptible to ignition from heat, flame or spark. Keeping the tree stand filled with water at all times is crucial as is not keeping a tree up for more than two weeks.
The last step in the fire safety process for Christmas trees is to dispose of the tree properly. When the tree becomes dry, it must be removed from the residence promptly. It is important to resist the temptation to place tree branches in a fireplace or wood stove.
Holiday SafetyA related holiday fire safety issue involves holiday lights. Only lights that are listed by an approved testing laboratory should be used. Before installing the lights it is important to inspect for excessive kinking or wear, frayed wires, gaps in insulation, bare spots and cracked or broken sockets.
A major issue associated with holiday lights is the overloading of electrical circuits. No more than three sets of lights should be connected together unless directions indicate that it is safe to do so. The wiring of holiday lights should be checked periodically to make sure that it is not warm to the touch. Holiday lights should not be left on when unattended.
Holiday decorations also present fire safety challenges. As with live trees, holiday decorations should not be placed near sources of heat or flame, including heat vents and fireplaces. Only nonflammable or flame-retardant decorations should be used. Artificial trees should be flame-retardant.
After unwrapping holiday gifts, wrapping paper should be disposed of properly. It should never be placed in a fireplace since that can generate dangerous sparks and produce a chemical buildup.
Many holiday fires result from the unsafe use of candles. If you use candles, they should be properly secured in stable holders and placed such that they cannot easily be knocked over. Lit candles should never be put on or near a tree. It is important that candles be attended and never left burning when leaving a residence.
While the above suggestions are designed to prevent the type of holiday tragedies that we all too often see in the holiday season news coverage, the importance of having properly installed, maintained and tested working smoke detectors in the home cannot be overemphasized in the event a fire were to occur. Knowing how to call for help in the event of a fire or other emergency and having a home fire escape plan also are essential elements of a holiday fire safety plan, Fleming said.----------------------------------Fleming has more than 38 years of fire and emergency preparedness experience. He is the past chairman of the National Fire Academy Board of Visitors and currently serves as chairman of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Fire Service Certification Advisory Committee and the Chester County Local Emergency Planning Committee.

Here is my review of the Stila Backstage Beauty Eye Shadow Palette - The Runway. This kit is only available from Sephora, however all of the eye shadows and the liner are available for purchase separately should you miss the special set. The set is cute it comes with three full size eye shadow shades, 1 liner pencil in a cute compact with mirror and headband. The product is packaged well and the shades are very nice and highly pigmented. This is a neutral pallet. The liner is smooth and creamy which makes it easy to apply. If applied with a primer the eyeshadow stays true to original application. I applied the shadows mixed with MAC's Fix Plus. I think this is a good buy and a keeper. The total cost for the entire set is $20.00. I give it an A- only because you can not reuse the compact.

Anantapur finally managed to see some showers ahead of the 8th Father Vincent Ferrer Memorial Hockey Championship 2016. Resultantly experiencing pleasant weather to welcome the championship that would celebrate 10 years of Rural Development Trust's (RDT) Anantapur Sports Academy (ASA) Hockey Academy. Celebrations that marked 10 years of the ASA Hockey Academy's promoting India's national sport among the rural youth to educate and develop them and affect a sporting cultural change in the region.
Teams arrived at the Anantapur Sports Village (ASV) on the 3rd June 2016 and got down to acclimatizing to the relatively warmer weather of Anantapur despite the rains. The tournament took shape with 14 teams, around 230 of the finest athletes in South India contesting for the honour of having the Father Vincent Ferrer Memorial Hockey Championship trophy don their cabinets.
The championship began with RDT Executive Director, Anne Ferrer encouraging the young athletes with warm words and later declaring the championship open on the evening of the 4th June 2016. This marked the beginning of the league stages of the championship.
Eight boys' and six girls' teams made up the roster. The boys' competition set between Jude Felix Hockey Academy (JFHA), Bangalore, RV Academy, Chennai, Medical College, Chennai, Sports Club, Kovilpatti, G.V.G. Udumalpet, RDT Anantapur, RDT Dharmavaram and hosts RDT's ASA Hockey Academy. The girls' competition on the other hand was contested between RGV Kovilpatti, GVGW Udumalpet, Department of Youth Services and Sports (DYSS) Mysore & Bangalore, JFHA Bangalore and hosts ASA Hockey Academy.
The championship followed a league cum knockout structure with both the boys and girls split into two pools. Each team would play their pool contenders once with the top two teams in each pool advancing to the semi-finals where they would face-off in a knockout setting to make their way to the trophy.
The league stages came off quite hard fought, with quite a few of the games going down to the wire, being decided in the dying minutes. The boys' competition came through after some intense games with the semi-finals eventually seeing R.V. Academy and RDT Dharmavaram from Pool A and ASA Hockey Academy and JFHA Bangalore from Pool B, whereas the girls' competition saw DYSS Mysore and RGV Kovilpatti from Pool A and ASA Hockey Academy and GVGW Udumalpet from Pool B.
A tooth and nail effort saw RDT Dharmavaram and JFHA end the first semi-final with 3 goals each. Nerves were tested as the teams took to a nail biting shoot-out. Where both teams drew again at 3 a piece in their stipulated 5 shootouts going into sudden death for a result. JFHA goalkeeper fouled Dharmavaram player in his sudden death shootout attempt leading to a penalty stroke, later silencing the supporting Anantapur crowd to take the JFHA boys to the final with a 2-1 sudden death score to play the hosts ASA Hockey Academy who convincingly defeated RV Academy 3-0 in their semi-final. The ASA Hockey Academy girls controlled every moment of their 8-1 semi-final win over RGV Kovilpatti while DYSS Mysore managed a 3-0 win over GVGW Udumalpet to arrive into the finals.
The finals were decided with overwhelming wins. The Boys final saw hosts ASA Hockey Academy dominate proceedings right from the start to beat JFHA 5-0. While the girls competition closed as ASA Hockey Academy went into half time being one goal down, eventually conceding two more for a 3-0 scoreline losing to DYSS Mysore.
Hockey Anantapur Secretary M H Vijayababu shared, "We have grown greatly throughout this eventful decade with just one hockey summer camp organized with Spanish players Andreu Enrich and Santi Freixa back in 2006 to now having close to 1700 children play hockey throughout the district. As for our teams in the championship, it was only a matter of experience that made the difference. Our boys have been in the academy for a couple of years now and their teams had some favourable playing time before this championship at national level tournaments in Nagpur and Kovilpatti. Most of the girls however have been with the academy only this year and are relatively inexperienced, but have played exceptionally to reach the finals and their performance despite the lack of experience was fulfilling. We only look forward to having a more competitive infrastructure for the future, continue to grow and develop these children and more throughout the hockey program with more of them being able to secure jobs through their influence on the field much like many of their predecessors who now serve in the Police, the Army and as PE Teachers"
