It looked for about 40 minutes like the Washington Redskins were going to keep their win streak alive against the New York Jets. The Green Team's last win over the 'Skins came way back in 1993. In this game, Washington's defense did what it could to suppress Jets' scoring to the level the offense could beat. Then the offense and special teams sabotaged the effort. You don't need the details in this litany. Special teams covered a kick-off poorly to give the Jets midfield position. Roy Helu and Rex Grossman lost fumbles. Helu's fumble killed a drive. Grossman's fumble sealed the win for the Jets. Graham Gano botched an onsides kick to preclude Washington's comeback that was low odds in any event. Will Horton at the This Given Sunday blog best summed this puppy: "Give the Redskins some credit: behind Roy Helu's running, they gave the Jets a game for a full three quarters. But then Rex Grossman rexed it up, and the Jets got a big win going aw...

World of materials
The importance of materials science has significantly increased as a result of rapid technological developments during the past few years. Modern materials science deals with scientific and engineering problems in a wide range of disciplines, and studies material properties and behaviour from the nanoscale up to macroscopic structures and buildings. Consequently, the need for well educated materials scientists and engineers is rapidly growing.
The Master's Degree Programme in Materials Engineering offers multidisciplinary and flexible study opportunities of a high standard and quality. It operates in an internationally-oriented and innovative study and research environment, preparing the students for flexible professional and academic career opportunities both in Finland and abroad. The completion of the Masters Program including the Master's thesis takes usually 2 to 3 years. The programme is entirely in English and leads to the degree of Master of Science (Technology). Completion of the programme qualifies the student to apply for doctoral degree studies.
Inspiring student life
Materials Engineering students are sociable and actively involved in student activities. TUT offers excellent facilities for sports, but different clubs and student organizations also help you make the most of student life and find friends and contacts from all over the world.

- Bill Clinton is founder of the William J. Clinton Foundation and the 42nd President of the United States. The opinions expressed are his own -
Fifteen years ago, when Pedro Zamora appeared on MTV's The Real World, he changed the face of HIV/AIDS in America.
For the first time, viewers saw an openly gay, HIV-positive young person on national television. As we followed his story each week, Pedro humanized the growing epidemic, reducing our ignorance and fears and increasing our determination to act. By living bravely and allowing MTV to show his story, Pedro set an extraordinary example of what a tremendous impact a single person can make in our world.
Pedro's story and his message remain powerful and relevant. Today, more than 1 million Americans are living with HIV, and 20 percent of them don't know they are infected. Infection rates are increasing among certain groups, including women of color. The HIV infection rate in Washington, D.C. – at 3 percent – is comparable to some African countries where AIDS is the number one cause of death.
It's critical for our nation to intensify the fight against HIV/AIDS here at home, starting with testing. Lack of information, misconceptions, and social stigma keep too many people from getting tested. Others mistakenly believe they have been tested as part of routine health care visits. Rapid result tests, including basic oral swabs, make it easy for anyone, anywhere in the country to be tested for HIV. Non-invasive testing is also available for other, more prevalent STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea.
Today marks the start of National STD Awareness Month. Several organizations on the frontlines of the HIV/AIDS and broader STD efforts are beginning a concentrated push to get as many people tested as possible this April. This is an opportunity especially for younger people who have never lived in a world without the threat of HIV/AIDS to confront these challenges head on. I urge all Americans, particularly those under age 25 who are sexually active, to get tested for STDs and make responsible decisions about their sexual health. Our actions now will shape the future of the AIDS epidemic and our country's health.

THANKS GUYSI got it to working pretty bright! dhenry, the "2 digits" remark got me thinking.
I rewrote the way it worked, so that you basicially call a function show_num(a,b,c,d) and then it will slowly build the segments to light up on pin 1 in an array and the same for one on pin 2..then at the end it displays each with a small delay in between! less delays, so more bright. video and code below
code available here: http://codeviewer.org/view/code:2dc5
@grumpy_mike,well im not entirely sure about the resistors because im just looking at the old alarmclock circuit board.. in theirs..they have ground to pin 1 and actually vcc to pin 2...and then 2 39ohm resistors, one between each ...the ground also has a diode on it...a little confusing for a newbie like me. below is an image
this is what im doing below..im still a bit confused on the transistor in terms of where it would go

This is hands-down the smallest tip I've ever had the pleasure to use. It writes so finely, that I was able to write a poem of 107 words on a 2" post it note, with margins around the outside and between the paragraphs! I was amazed at the quality of the writing, with very smooth, dark ink. The pen "refill" itself handles just fine, but I used it with the Kuretake Zig Letter Pen CocoIro Pen Body - Light Blue, and it was really very pleasant. Definitely recommend for fine/small writing!

I LOVE this book! It's the perfect size for a pocket sketchbook, or drawing little art cards. The paper is amazing for pen and ink, and works fantastically with the colored leads I used on it. For the price and how many sheets you get, it's a really great deal if you love doing little sketches or art cards. The paper makes it look very professional when finished, too. To keep it closed I just wrap a hair tie around it, and it's great. I bought one for myself, and another for a friend who sells mini art, to use on the go. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This limited edition is so pretty. Being a fan of the Kuro Toga, I bought another one to enjoy. It feels nice in my hand, sits well. I like knowing it's working as hard as I am when we sit down together.

Really fantastic texture, so smooth you want to keep holding it. Perfect size for putting into almost any bag; it's about the size of a glasses case, and only about an inch thick. The black is really nice, I could take it anywhere and it would be the right style to match the occassion. Thanks!!
Very cute! Nice and smooth,..., May 23, 2012
Very cute! Nice and smooth, good size for carrying about 15 regular-sized pencils as mine fit. Very slim and perfect for sliding into my bag. The smoothness really makes me want to keep petting it; everything looks really well made. Has the mild smell of silicone that I believe fades with some air time. I really look forward to using it as a regular pencil bag, and would definitely buy for friends.

It's generally never a good thing to smell burning rubber while you are cooking dinner.
This means something has gone horribly wrong.
A few days ago one of our very good friends (and Twitter celebrity) @mutgoff rolled through our small Colorado town and I promised her a good meal and drinks.
Everything was going perfectly until my grill caught on fire.
I mean… grills are supposed to be on fire, but not ON FIRE! Fire was billowing out the back and sides of the grill and I decided that it was probably time to turn the gas off and run for cover.
As you can see from the above picture, somehow I had managed to burn clean through the hose that was supplying gas to the grill so propane was just billowing out the back – igniting immediately.
Guess what? I still saved dinner because that's how I roll.
Garlic Chicken Salad
- 1-2 pounds chicken pieces, I like thighs and breasts
- 20 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup olives, chopped
- 1 roasted red pepper, sliced
- 4 cups baby arugula
- Salt and pepper
Helpful Equipment
1) Peel garlic cloves and add to a small pot with olive oil. Heat over low heat until oil starts to simmer. Watch closely and cook until cloves turn slightly brown and are soft and fragrant, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
2) Mix half the garlic cloves with half of the oil with vinegar, mustard, and salt and pepper to a mini food processor. Process until smooth to make the dressing.
3) Toss chicken pieces with a few tablespoons of the garlic oil. Grill over high heat until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side depending on the chicken pieces you are using.
4) Slice chicken into large chunks.
5) Add olives, roasted red peppers, the rest of the cooked garlic cloves, and arugula in a large bowl and toss with a few tablespoons of dressing. Add sliced chicken and toss to coat.
6) Serve immediately with extra dressing on the side.
Adapted from a Bon Appetit recipe.
Confit that Garlic
Grill disasters aside, this was a pretty good salad that won the poll last week.
While the original recipe used chicken, I don't see why you couldn't use tofu or tempeh and make this vegetarian. Most of the flavor, after all, comes from 20 whole cloves of garlic.
Of course, this would be way to much raw garlic to put into any one dish, but the recipe calls for a really cool technique that works great.
Basically, you confit the garlic in olive oil by cooking it over low heat for 10-15 minutes. This does two things: 1) It infuses the oil with a garlic flavor that is very delicious. 2) It mellows out the garlic and makes it much like roasted garlic.
After the garlic is done simmering slowly in the oil you can pop a whole clove in your mouth without a problem. It's slightly sweet and savory and very wonderful.
You do need to keep an eye on the pot while it is cooking. You can easily burn the garlic if you aren't careful and then it will become really bitter.
So just heat it over low heat and watch it. Once the cloves have turned a light brown color and they are very soft, the job is done. Then you can strain the cloves out and you have some tasty garlic cloves and also infused garlic oil!
The Dressing
Honestly, my favorite part of this recipe was this dressing. Once you have your garlic confit, combine about half of the cloves with half of the oil and puree it with some mustard, vinegar, and salt and pepper.
This stuff is addictive!
The chicken
There's nothing to preparing the chicken for this salad. Toss it with a few tablespoons of that delicious garlic oil and it's ready to grill.
Just be careful with the grill. I'm not entirely sure what caused my grill disaster, but I think that some of the oil from the chicken dripped onto my gas supply hose and somehow caught fire.
Luckily, this unplanned fire happened near the end of the grilling process so we were still able to chop up the chicken and have dinner. If it would've happened at the beginning of the grilling process I would've just cooked the chicken in the oven.
Finishing the salad is super easy. Just toss the olives, parsley, arugula, and roasted red peppers with a few tablespoons of the dressing. Then add in the chopped chicken and toss it to coast everything evenly.
We served this with some nice crusty bread and it was really tasty!
I was, of course, a bit embarrassed that I started an almost very serious fire while people were over to enjoy my supposedly good cooking.
That just goes to show you that things can (and will) go wrong in the kitchen.
Luckily, most mistakes are fixable. Turns out I can order a replacement hose for the grill for about $25.
What this means is that I'm not the first person who has done this! Somehow, that makes me feel better.

If you're out doing holiday shopping in Georgetown, the police there are asking you lookout for man suspected of approaching women in a threatening way.
James Lively loves his wife.
"I take care of me because I love her and so we're always very careful," said Lively.
That's because they know suspects, like the man Georgetown police are looking for, tend to target women.
"We try to keep a 21 foot radius and the reason for that is," said his wife, Lisa Lively.
"I taught situational awareness and I was a concealed handgun instructor for the state of Texas for about ten years," said James.
Police are searching for a man two women say confronted them in this parking lot off the I-35 east frontage road.
On Wednesday, police records state the suspect grabbed the victim, but she fought back, and he ran off into this wooded area behind the Burger King and Schlotzsky's restaurants.
On Thursday, another woman reported a similar experience to Georgetown police.
"That's a little concerning, especially being an 18-year-old, I mean, I'm not going to be able to defend myself against someone, an older man." said Taylor Wiseman, who is back in town from college.
"It could be a young girl, younger than me, which would be even worse," said Wiseman.
Police want you paying attention when you're walking to your car, not looking down, distracted by your phone. They also don't want you walking alone
Wiseman said, "I'm definitely going to be more aware...I'll make sure I know who's around me and make sure I know where I can go if I need help."
"Like I said, I saw you before you saw me...that's the main thing, keep your eyes open and your head up and don't look like a victim," said James Lively.
Police also want you to keep your eyes open.
After a three hour aerial search, they still haven't found the suspect.
The suspect is described as a black man, about 6 feet tall, weighing between 200 and 230 pounds.
He was seen wearing a camouflage jacket.
Police believe this suspect is homeless, staying along the bottom of the San Gabriel River.
Didn't find what you were looking for?

stage·craftnoun \-ˌkraft\
Definition of STAGECRAFT
First Known Use of STAGECRAFT
Rhymes with STAGECRAFT
stagecraftnoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Technical aspects of a theatrical production, which include lighting, scenery, costumes, and sound. While elements such as painted screens and wheeled platforms were used in the Greek theatre as early as the 5th century BCE, most innovations in stagecraft were developed in the Italian Renaissance theatre, where painted backdrops, perspective architectural settings, and numerous changes of scenery were common. Italian staging was introduced in England in 1605 by Inigo Jones for court masques. In the late 19th century, staging was influenced by the new naturalism, which called for historically accurate sets. In the 20th century, simplified scenic design focused attention on the actor. Staging techniques and the design of theatres have been greatly affected by advances in lighting, from the use of candles in the Renaissance to oil lamps in the 18th century and gas and electric lights in the 19th century. Modern stage lighting, which employs computerized control boards to achieve complex effects, can unify all the visual elements of a stage production. See also stage machinery.

Talking about storytelling, part two – Change in (about) 100 words
From a recent exercise in storytelling. Assignment: In roughly 100 words, describe a time when your life changed.
At the last minute, I threw out my first, more serious draft, switched topics entirely, and wrote on the fly -
When we got home, I couldn't get to my crayons fast enough.
I couldn't find the black one, so I skipped Darth Vader and drew my stormtroopers in blue-green.
That's how I remember the first time I saw Star Wars. I was six.
Since then, I have seen better movies. I have read better stories.
But this was more than spaceships and lasers and robots:
Star Wars is what got me interested in science and writing and history and mythology; in authors, characters, symbols, and archetypes; in storytelling and classically-inspired music and film-making.
This was a Big Bang. This was my world blowing up.
Also: spaceships and lasers and robots.
I liked the way it turned out, and it got a good reception. I saved it because I enjoyed looking deeper than nostalgia and remembering the first time someone else's art really inspired me.
International TableTop Day: What We Played
Spent about five hours gaming on Saturday, in celebration of International TableTop Day.
Started off with a three-person game of Love Letter -
- which we followed with Tsuro.
After that, another friend showed up, and the four of us took on Forbidden Island -
Alas, victory eluded us.
On to Pandemic – another first for me.
Another cooperative game – really enjoyed this. (And we were so freaking close to winning this one!)
Another gamer arrived, and we played a five-person game of Tsuro, and then something none of us had tried before: We Didn't Playtest This at All.
I think we played three complete games in about 12 minutes. So bizarre and odd and chaotic and fun.

Plastic Galaxy: The Story of Star Wars Toys
I've said before how excited I am to have played a small part in this project, so when the finished DVD of Plastic Galaxy: The Story of Star Wars Toys landed in my mailbox last week, it was a little like the day I got my Bossk.
Here's the elevator pitch from the DVD web site:
Like no toys before them, Star Wars toys were a phenomenon that swept the nation, transforming both the toy and movie industries, and ultimately creating a hobby that, 30 years later, still holds sway over its fans.
Plastic Galaxy is a documentary that explores the groundbreaking and breathtaking world of Star Wars toys. Through interviews with former Kenner employees, experts, authors, and collectors, it looks at the toys' history, their influence, and the fond and fervent feelings they elicit today.
I may not be the most impartial reviewer, of course, but think the movie turned out well. It's a nice balance of nostalgia trip, toy merchandising history lesson, eye-popping show-and-tell, and behind-the-scenes storytelling. There's some fun animation work throughout, too.
Several nifty people I've met and/or know from fan circles are also in the movie, like Jim Swearingen, and a couple OSWCC and KennerCollector.com friends, and Steve Sansweet, who wrote what's still one of my all-time favorite Star Wars books, "From Concept to Screen to Collectible." (A book, which, it should be noted, also inspired Plastic Galaxy. It's still a good read 20+ years after its publication. Most of what has become common knowledge about the Kenner/Star Wars backstory was unearthed by Sansweet first.)
It's probably not too much of a stretch to say that if you remember the Kenner brand or coveted the neighbor kid's Landspeeder or grew up in the twin-sun shadow of the original Star Wars, then Plastic Galaxy is probably in your wheelhouse. You can order it from Brian and Karl's Futurious Industries.
What I read in 2013
In terms of quantity, I had kind of a lousy year in 2013: I only finished 11 books, and five of those (marked with asterisks below) were re-reads.
The list:
- What I Talk About When I Talk About Running – Haruki Murakami
- Star Wars: Scoundrels – Timothy Zahn
- Await Your Reply – Dan Chaon
- Han Solo at Stars' End – Brian Daley*
- Han Solo's Revenge – Brian Daley*
- Codex Born – Jim C. Hines
- Beyond the Blue Event Horizon – Frederick Pohl
- The Ghost Brigades – John Scalzi*
- The Fault in Our Stars – John Green
- Maus I: My Father Bleeds History – Art Spiegelman*
- Anathem – Neal Stephenson*
On the other hand: Quality. I really enjoyed all of them, and my six first-time reads were a nice mix of popcorn fun, mind-bending, gut-punching, and thought-provoking.
This is Me in '83 – December
Postcards from Christmas vacation, 1983:
A Christmas Story came out in November, but I know it had been out for awhile by the time I saw it at the Gold Circle Cinemas. My parents had seen it already, as had this kid at school who told me how it ended after I asked him about it. Seems likely I went to see it over the winter break.
I was a big Bloom County fan This is my best "Bill the Cat" face:
So, if you recall, Return of the Jedi had come out earlier that year. This meant Star Wars gifts were pretty popular at Christmas. My brothers got a a bunch of Jedi toys and stuff: Speeder Bikes, the Ewok Village, action figures, big Presto Magix kits. It was really the last big Star Wars Christmas of the original trilogy era.
As a newly-minted teenager, I had pretty much taken Star Wars toys off my wish list. The last Kenner Star Wars toy I specifically asked for was the Y-Wing. As I wrote in Collect All 21! –
Couldn't help it. This thing was light years ahead of the old X-Wing, armed with not only that squealing laser cannon, but a rotating top turret and a plastic bomb to drop from its underbelly. And it had a socket behind the cockpit for Artoo units. I may not have actually role-played with my figures anymore, but I did send that ship on many a run over card houses in our living room, and somewhere in our family albums there's a snapshot of me using the ship to dive bomb my little brother and his Knight Rider-inspired remote-control black Camaro.
Now, for years, I remembered that Y-Wing as a 13th birthday request: But this picture was clearly taken on Christmas, judging by my sweet striped sweater and cool brown corduroy pants – the same outfit as in that first shot. And the Y-Wing box is in the background of another Christmas picture, so while I may have asked for it in November, the evidence suggests I got it on Christmas. I think the only other Star Wars toy I got that year was the Vehicle Maintenance Energizer, which paired up nicely with the ship.
I still have my Y-Wing. You can see it in this shot from Plastic Galaxy: The Story of Star Wars Toys:
And with that flash-forward, I wrap up This is Me in '83.
Big thanks to my mom, who kept and organized shelves full of photo albums that held a lot of these pictures.
I've really enjoyed this project. I didn't wind up writing as much as I thought I would when I started, but I also dug up and rediscovered things I didn't have in mind a year ago. I also found some other pictures and photos and memories that I want to share and write about.
I hope you've had a good year. Thanks for visiting 1983 with me.
Collect All 21! – Big Thanks and A Shameless Plug
This begins with an overdue thanks to the guys behind JediCon WV, who earlier this month published a really moving and heartfelt Tumblr post about Collect All 21! and my presentation at their 2010 convention.
John writes he was six when he was first swayed by the Force. I was more like 11. But so many of his recollections are similar to my experiences. Here he was, five years my junior living in Ohio while I grew up in Virginia, older – not wiser – and it's like we lived next door to each other.
So I want to thank you, John, for bringing out the Star Wars kid in me once again. Each re-reading brings back memories of the best childhood anyone could've asked for. Maybe that's why I've never really left it behind.
I mean dang. Thank YOU. It feels like I've said this a million times, but god, that kind of reaction, and hearing that someone read what I wrote and enjoyed re-discovering long-lost secret joys? That's one of my favorite things in the world, and it's a huge reason I wrote Collect All 21! in the first place.
So, that's the first part of the post as referenced in the title.
Naturally, the second part is this: You know what makes a good Christmas present? Unbridled Star Wars,-1970s-and-'80s nostalgia, conveniently packaged in classic paperback format, or in an expanded electronic book edition.
There's an excerpt, and some nice things that nifty people have said about the book, and things like podcasts and interviews, and some non-Amazon Collect All 21! links here.
Deep and sincere thanks again to everyone who's supported this book for the past five-plus years and encouraged me to keep sharing my Star Wars memories.
This is Me in '83 – Teenagerdom
Thirty years ago, I became a teenager.
I wasn't a huge fan of cake, so mom made me these amazing frozen mint pies with Oreo cookie crusts.
I also received a speedometer for my bike:
Three decades later, I spent a good chunk of my birthday playing a 1980s-era video game (Gauntlet) with my brothers, and the evening with my immediate family – having pie.
This is Me in '83 – Halloween
Have I mentioned that in 1983, I was really, really into reading my Dungeons & Dragons stuff?
Inspired by that source material, I cobbled together my own fantasy adventurer's costume for Halloween:
No parental assistance required: Sweat pants and a sweatshirt that looks like I removed the collar for that deep-V look that's all the rage among dragon-slayers; cape from an old…bedspread, maybe? I can remember the material was heavy, but also kind of clingy and stretchy; tunic-vest-thing that I cut and stitched together myself out of some burlap-type cloth mom had around; and a belt that I probably wore every other day of the year, too.
The sword? A yardstick covered in aluminum foil, of course. Which means it stands to reason – as if it's not completely clear already – that yes, I am in fact wearing a foil hat. (Technically, my helm was a white knit hat covered in foil. Still: FOIL HAT.)
And now that "foil" sounds funny, I'll move on.
If I remember correctly, my fellow D&D wannabe Mike S. wore a pretty slick elf ranger costume he and his mom had made.
More than once, I think, Mike and I took advantage of the trick-or-treat scheduling differences between the village of Hartville itself – where he lived – and Lake Township: One usually scheduled it on Halloween proper, while the other set it on the closest preceding weekend night, or something like that, making it possible for us to hit both of our neighborhoods. I seem to think we also really liked going out in the early hours of trick-or-treat, dropping off our candy haul at home, and then going back out after dark to roam the neighborhood and try to scare the kids we knew.
Other bits and pieces nicely caught up in this photo: The Halloween decorations – store-bought and handmade alike – that my mom put out every year; the long-gone brick fireplace and wood paneling of our family room; the wooden set of coasters in their little boxy holder up there on the mantle (these go back practically to the beginning of my memory).
For all the dorkiness captured in this picture – of me, that is; nothing against our family decor – I remain oddly proud of this costume, since I made the whole thing myself.
Plus: Foil hat.
Back in the game
Earlier this year, a friend asked if I'd be interested in his 1980s Dungeons & Dragons stuff. He'd played a lot back when we were kids – I wish I'd known that at the time – but hadn't touched the game in years, and thought I'd enjoy having the classic material on hand, since I now play regularly.
So we struck a deal, and I've spent a good amount of time revisiting the books and box sets and modules that I either never had or never fully appreciated as a kid. (Bonus: His collection included a Fiend Folio that even has the remnants of a Kay-Bee toy store price sticker, just like mine did!)
Inside the Basic Set was a sandwich bag containing seven dice. The brown 10- 12- and 20-siders look like they came from the same original set. The light blue d4 and d6 are identical to the ones I got in my own red box Basic Set. The two d8s are each a little different.
I was surprised to see how small those three older brown dice looked, sitting next to dice from my current collection -
- but they felt familiar between my fingertips. And the d4 is numbered the way I remember from middle school, with the digits on the edges rather than the corners.
Thing is, it was only last weekend that I had the realization that These Dice Should Be Rolling! I retrieved them from the Basic box and tumbled them into my dice bag.
Tuesday night's D&D session was entirely role-playing, but toward the end of the night, we rolled for a bit o' treasure.
Here's the result of the d12's first in-game cast in close to three decades:
This One Goes To Eleven. (And landed Culhwch Keepson a Ring of Climbing.)

Environmental Factors
Erosion, fire, and non-native species play an important part in shaping the monument landscape.
NPS photo
NPS photo
Capulin Volcano National Monument was set aside from public use in 1891 and was designated a National Monument in 1916. Fire was considered destructive and dangerous. All fires were suppressed and the natural fire cycle of both grasslands and woodlands disrupted.
Until recently, the Monument has not experienced any form of fire management. The first prescribed fire was conducted in April, 2005. This prescribed burn, as well as others conducted in the future, will help restore a natural fire cycle to the monument ecosystems. It will also lessen the possibility for devastating wildfires, which could result from a build-up of fuel sources within the Monument.

Did You Know?
Despite its small size, roughly 800 acres, Capulin Volcano National Monument still has predators that hunt within the park's boundaries. These predators include both Black bear and Cougar.

Pershing, the worldwide open yacht sector leader, renowned for its constant attention to the needs of its owners and markets, has decided to present its latest gem with the first ever Sea Show organized in the yacht sector. Consisting of four stopovers around the Mediterranean, the Sea Show will stop in Croatia, Spain, Italy and Greece to present a special preview of the new Pershing 72' before it is unveiled at the major international boat shows.
The first presentation is scheduled for April 20 and 21 in Spalato. From there the Show moves onto Palma di Mallorca on April 28 and 29. Then it stops in Venice from June 14 to 17 and finishes in Athens from June 28 to 30.
The Pershing 72', the new member of a fleet of open yachts ranging from 37 to 115 footers, will be the star of these four luxuriously exclusive, emotion-packed events. In the splendid settings of these carefully selected locations guests will be able to discover the endless innovation and magic of this new craft by visiting its interiors, admiring its innovative design and experiencing the thrill of its top performance directly in sea trials.
"This new formula, where the Pershing 72' goes on tour, sailing through some of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean, is perfectly in line with the company philosophy of combining an insistence on innovation with a constant quest for the highest level of typically Pershing exclusiveness and comfort", explained Tilli Antonelli, the Pershing chairman. "What we want to offer our customers and aficionados is a totally new and unforgettable experience that increases opportunities for encountering and contemplating our way of thinking and constructing innovative yachts and our way of enjoying the sea".
This new move is a perfect example of the approach that has made Pershing one of the worldwide symbols of "Made in Italy" style and class. Innovation and maximum customer focus are the company's two fundamental cornerstones, which is why the Sea Show can count on the back up of its international dealer network to help guests discover the "world of Pershing".
It is immediately apparent from the Pershing 72's radically new hull profile, the fruit of Fulvio De Simoni's pen, that this craft is a forerunner in every respect. Here the focus is clearly on technology, starting with the exclusive stowaway glass partition between the external cockpit and the internal saloon, an area that can be completely opened to the sky thanks to an innovative sliding hard top. Another important feature is the revolutionary gangplank created together with Besenzoni. This multi-purpose device acts as a stowaway gangplank, swimming ladder, and mooring ramp when in port. It takes up hardly any space at all and therefore leaves the engine room free for any ordinary or special maintenance.
The interiors and overall design of the Pershing 72' also offer a series of highly original solutions, such as the new, unbroken window line, the novel position of the galley in the bows, located at an intermediate level between the main deck and the below deck area and the vast storeroom below it. Pershing's collaboration with the prestigious Poltrona Frau company has created exquisite fittings and furnishings, including leather upholstered chairs, sofas and ceiling panels, all painstakingly designed to combine, in every environment, inimitable Pershing style with the value, top quality craftsmanship and superior functionality typical of Poltrona Frau furniture. With its two 1823 hp MTU common rail engines combined with Arneson propulsion, this craft can also reach top speeds of up to 45 knots, while maintaining a trim that ensures perfect comfort.

If the PuG was pleasant to raid with and competent, then you should perhaps consider it a trial run and see if they would be interested in joining up.
Also, the people who are no shows *must* be made aware that that kind of behaviour won't be tolerated and that they can't rely on raid invites in the future if they sign up for raids and stay away without notice...

I've been drawing ever since I was a little girl, and have about 14 years on my pencil. I've learnt everything I know from scratch, through the trying and failing method. Now I'm trying to broaden my horison by taking the step into the digital art world. And what better way to do it, than making a stepstone sketchbook on Conceptart?
Still working on this one, will probably be a larger piece in the end. It'll probably take a s***load of my time.
excited to see more! keep em coming!

hey jilue,
Your first version of this coon looks very nice. The second one looks more like it is a metal-animal. I think one of the best parts in the digital-art is that you can imitate really good materials with special brushes. I think you have to watch some refs or cooncoat.
so keep it up and draw

Archontophoenix purpurea
Archontophoenix purpurea "Purple King Palm" Natural Habitat: Naturally endemic in the mountainous rainforest of Northeast Queensland, Australia. Description: A tall, slender, solitary palm that can reach heights over 50 feet tall, similar in appearance to A. alexandrae. The palm's most appealing trait is its purple crownshaft, which develops as the palm matures. Once the purple color appears, it stays on the tree for the rest of its life. The trunk is slender with a bulbous base and gray ascending leaf scars close to the crown. The leaves are pinnate and a light green color, with a silvery underside, which is even apparent as a seedling. Environment: This palm enjoys a sunny moist area where it can get a few hours of shade a day. It is very hardy to wind and the elements, making it a great landscape plant. It is also cold hardy due to its natural environment at high elevations, taking temperatures down into the high 20's with no or little visible damage. There are adult specimens growing here in Orlando, FL. Zones 9-11. As a seedling keep the young tree moist and in a shaded area.

Our take: This NEW High Cut IBH Airsoft Helmet by G-Force is engineered for high-speed loadouts. Constructed out of durable ABS polymer, this lightweight helmet also comes with a special-forces style, three-hole NVG shroud useful for mounting night vision goggles and playing in low-lighting conditions. G-Force's IBH airsoft helmet, which is designed for players looking to fill special forces roles (but works well for virtually any loadout), is built to allow the installation of communications systems like headsets, giving users the ability to relay messages and coordinate tactics freely without having their helmets get in the way of equipment.But with all the tactical capabilities packed into this helmet for an unbeatable price, it still keeps comfort high in its regard The two-stage padding that lines the inside of the helmet and adjustable helmet harness gives users an incredibly comfortable and snug fit. For players with larger heads, however, the internal padding can easily be removed. Overall, this helmet will fit most head sizes. As a nice finishing touch, the chin strip is constructed out of faux leather and an included nape pad increases user comfort. If you're looking for an affordable helmet with tactical capabilities, this NEW Lightweight IBH Airsoft Helmet by G-Force is your best bet.Features:- Proprietary harness system- Internal adjustment padding- Lightweight ABS polymer build- 2-stage padding system- Adjustable chin strap- Three-hole triangle NVG shroud- Nape pad- Wide-ear cutouts- Textured surfaceSpecifications:Material: ABS PlasticWeight: 1.7 poundsSize: SMALL-MEDIUMColor: BLACK
"great helmet for the price and for beginners. i have used this helmet for probably about a year. the helmet is still working and is together. the only setback for me is that the straps on my helmet cant become equal on my chin. what i mean is that even after spending a while adjusting the straps they dont fit on my chin like they should. also to let you know i dont have a big head so its not to big my head might be to small but i do not know. the straps are just off set but it works fine just you might want to wear something like a shemagh around your neck so it doesnt get uncomfortable or wear the shemagh like normal around your whole head."

Daily Mail in Fresh Attack on Doctor Who
Although The Name of the Doctor reveals the Doctor's greatest secret, something decidedly less mysterious is the Daily Mail's attack on the BBC's flagship show.
So it comes as no surprise that as this current series of Doctor Who comes to an end, the paper has raised concerns allegedly within the BBC that the show is in a 'creative nosedive' with the current run of episodes hampered by 'dodgy storylines'.
Of course, unattributed quotes alone won't serve as evidence so they have turned to the only thing that proves a drama has 'dodgy storylines' — overnight ratings.
Because nothing dodgy has ever been popular:
"Only 4.6 million people have tuned in to some episodes, and though the BBC insists the resurrected drama has eight million viewers, even this is well down from the ten million when the show was revived in 2005."
Well, of course they're not.
A random episode in Series 7 is not going to pull in as many viewers as the show's long-awaited return from hiatus.
In fact, ratings from that time compared to now are down for all shows across the board because of the many ways audiences choose to watch TV now – these viewing habits are the reason why overnight ratings such as the 4.6 million quoted above are only relevant when collated with the time-shift data.
The paper went on to explain:
"Tomorrow's episode, The Name of the Doctor, will set up November's movie-length 50th anniversary episode, which sees the return of popular Doctor David Tennant and his companion Billie Piper.
However, Tennant's appearance will be a one-off, and existing Doctor Matt Smith, who is highly regarded, is expected to leave to launch a film career."
The implication here is that despite the ratings boost from the return of fan-favourite Tennant to the show and the popularity of Matt Smith – after all 'highly regarded' is just a synonym of 'popular' – the current Doctor is leaving (despite an interview in The Sun confirming otherwise) and this has something to do with Moffat's supposed inability to maintain the success of the show.
The connecting tissue isn't exactly clear here: is it to be believed that these events are the result of something that Moffat isn't doing and therefore are acting as a band aid to whatever problems his management has wrought or something that will have a further negative impact upon ratings during Moffat's allegedly poorly managed tenure?
Of course, there's no evidence to suggest that either is the case apart from unattributed quotes – in fact, it's a tradition of the show that a past Doctor return for an anniversary so you could argue that Moffat is giving fans what they expect (obviously, we all want eleven Doctors but hey, Tennant more than makes up for it.)
Either way, the paper argues something needs to shake up these overnight ratings:
"A Beeb source says: 'The 50th anniversary episode seems a good opportunity for him [Moffat] to bow out. Either way, something dramatic needs to take place to improve ratings.'"
Depending on your definition of the word 'dramatic' I'd say the 50th anniversary of the world's longest running television show might just qualify as something dramatic that would pull in a more than respectable share of overnight ratings.
Or say the return of a popular Doctor.
Either way, let's leave it to a BBC spokesman to restore some normality to proceedings:
"But a BBC spokesman said: 'The show has the highest audience share of all dramas on any channel this year and is in the top three most requested shows on iPlayer.'"
64 Responses to Daily Mail in Fresh Attack on Doctor Who
The DM (as well as some of the more cynical fans) need to get it through their heads that this is 2013, not 1989, and that the BBC does not take the overnights as the absolute indicator anymore, not with time-shifting, iPlayer requests, etc. Anyway, they've confirmed Series 8, Moffat is back for it, Jenna already let slip she'll be back, and so has Matt, so who cares?
Yes, I'm sure one of the things they keep in mind is the shit-ton of money the show is making in merchandising and overseas sales. It's more popular than ever worldwide, so the ratings numbers in jolly old England mean less that they did back in the day.
You couldn't make it up. Oh, it's The Daily Mail and they have!!!
Nothing new then. Just part of the usual anti-BBC, and generally anti-public service broadcasting agenda of the reactionary right wing press. Having a go t the BBC's flagship show, since they don't like the fact that it is a worldwide success story, made on a relatively small budget (compared to similar American shows), proving that all their arguments against public service broadcasting are utter hogwash.
Would they really prefer it if the BBC were broken up and sold off to some foriegn media Magnet like Rupert Murdoch, as some Tories were suggesting before the last general election?
Nice to watch the show at 7pm last night for only the second time this series: i miss the early slots so have to watch it via record /I player. No doubt dome potential floating viewers just miss it
As the Third Doctor would say Arrant nonsense! Take Cold War = 7.37m + i player 1.65m = 9.02m. This doesn't count the BBC 3 repeats. The Mail is a nasty rag!! Fit for the bin!
I'm really tired of living in a world where ratings matter over anything else. Shouldn't it be the quality of the show which judge's its continued survival? Doctor Who has more quality to it than most of what else is on television, even though a lot of garbage somehow gets higher ratings (which doesn't say much for the viewing public).
Seriously, what do you expect from the DM? Any show that even suggests multicultural values or equal rights is going to be hammered by them. They are the media Daleks.
Big surprise there – not. The one thing I would give the DM credit for (general, not Who-specific) is the pictorial coverage on their website. As for the print edition, the only use I'd put it to would be in emergency, if I'd run out of the kind of material that's supposed to be soft, strong and infinitely long.
It seems fair game for certian tabloids to have a go at Doctor Who, but lets be clear, an article in the mail or any other paper will not detract from the show and it never has in the past. Poor journalism will always try to make a story when there isnt one, as Bruce Hornsby once said 'thats just the way it is, and some things will never change'.
The show has seen a ratings decline since Moffat took over, and especially in series 7 it's been in freefall. You can show your support of the show all day long, but it doesn't change that the ratings have been in a steady decline. It just sounds like desperate spin to pretend the show isn't at least in some measure of trouble, based on ratings.
How about blaming it on the attention span of the general viewing public rather than Moffat? Admittedly I think some of the stories in this half season could have benefited from an extra episode, but I don't see any indication that Doctor Who is in decline.
How about blaming it on crap scripts? If a long term fan like myself is bored to tears it's hardly surprising the general public – who have considerably less of an investment – can't be bothered to tune in.
There have been no crap scripts this season. You want crap scripts, go back and watch Boomtown, Love & Monsters or Fear Her again.
I beg to differ. Rings, Hide, Crimson this half were absolute dreck that was barely watchable. Name had a good IDEA (to an extent) but horrid execution.
Honestly, out of this half, the only decent scripts (IMO) were Cold War and Silver.
@ David Schlueter
At the moment, this season of Doctor Who is averaging around 7.58 million an episode.
Christopher Eccleston's first season was around 7.9 million.
David Tennant's first season was 7.7 million average, his second was 7.5 million and his last full season 8 million. Matt Smith's first season was 7.8 million average, his second was 7.7 million.
So you see, your argument doesn't actually match up to the facts of the matter. Viewing figures are NOT collapsing. Matt Smith's viewing figures don't include the iPlayer figures either!
You think the show is in decline- fine, it's your opinion. There has been no 'ratings decline'- the final viewing figures NOT the overnights bear this out.
I'm so glad that most people here seem to grasp what's actually going on. It's all a matter of context. As was noted above, this is 2013, and the way audience viewing figures are compiled and measured has changed. The way people watch television has changed. A lot of people don't even turn on a television to watch a television show now! It just seems that, with the "honeymoon" long over, it has become the "thing to do" to attack Doctor Who, and forecast a gloom and doom laden future (or lack thereof) for the show. I mean, look at this very forum, it's a microcosm within which there are many within the ranks of "fandom" (where it seems that every other "fan" is a critic, and a negative one at that), tearing away at the show itself, as well as those who are currently producing it. Doctor Who bashing is the "thing to do". That this fairly unrelenting criticism is rarely based on any real, tangible facts is evident. It's well beyond someone liking or not liking the show, or the show not currently suiting someones tastes. It's a sort of idiot propaganda campaign that rarely takes the truth and/or the facts into any sort of account. If you love Doctor Who in 2013, watch it. If you don't care for Doctor Who in 2013, don't watch it. There's no need to wage a slur campaign against it that's based on conjecture, gossip, and untruths. That's the tabloid's job, that's what they do. Make up a story where there isn't one, throw in the lies and distortions because it sells copies of the trash they are peddling.
There's no spin, thats for politicians. There are many factor which Moffat has done which I disagree with in the show, but there are positives as well. It could be its time for a change at the top and for the Doctor, that's generally how the show continues. At the end of the day if the BBC thinks the show is in decline it will cancel it, I dont think we are at that point at the moment (it makes the BBC a nice profit)
I think Jon is correct. It is time for a change, Moffat feels very much like a spent force this year. Interestingly Points of View carried similar comments to the dreaded DM today.
If I recall there was a bout three complaints. I suggest you read on the BBC official Dr Who website the guide to the classic series and see what people thought of some stories many regard as classics but think the stories are rubbish.. Dr Who is a bit like Marmite you either love it or loathe it.
The Daily Snail is only read by old farts anyway.
I don't particularly like Moffat's version of the show, but for anyone to say that the ratings are declining beggars belief. The lowest rating season is still Tennant's second (Series 3) since 2005. His first season was down on Eccleston's. Was there a crisis? No. The ratings stay between 7.5 and 8 million per season on average. If you disagree, you are not looking at the viewing figures. It could be argued that with iPlayer viewings added, the show is more popular than it has ever been.
I can divorce my apathy over Moffat's tenure from the reality of the actual viewing figures, which are as healthy as they've ever been.
The BBC is paid for by the public, the Mail must hate the fact its not in private hands!!
There's no such thing as bad publicity. Every lousy review the Daily Mail gives makes someone who didn't watch the show the day before tune in for themselves to see what the fuss was about. Daily rags wont kill Dr Who off. Bring it on.
Overnights are just s snapshot. The media seem to take them into account these days. Yes the overnights have dipped as the series went on, one reason, not the fault of scripts or Moffat, but the BBC not promoting it, except to watch it on iplayer. But as I posted above the ratings are fine, ill re post in-case some missed it. Cold War = 7.37m + i player 1.65m = 9.02m. This doesn't count the BBC 3 repeats. Keep calm and keep time traveling.
Have you seen the Daily Fail's drop in circulation over the past ten years? They get more and more desperate to grab readers as the months go by.
Politicians, papers, and television news overstate the influence of print media when they reach far fewer people than the average episode of Pointless. It's a joke that they are given the credence they are given in the 21st century.
The vast majority of national newspaper journalists are privately educated mercenary hacks completely out of touch with reality, lazily regurgitating Reuters press releases or attempting to manipulate the public with lies and pandering to populism. There is good journalism out there, but they are drowning in a sea of pap.
…and let us not forget 'The Plague of the Week', a Daily Fail specialty.
The papers do lie! but I have to say as someone who has watched the programme for many years (I'm 45 now!) I am not overly happy with the way the programme has gone (Moffat's Amy pond) to fast paced with less story, I feel a regeneration of Moffat leadership would good after the 50th
I watched the wright stuff on Channel 5 (via there i player thing) the other day just to hear the tv reviews, the Daily Mirror TV critic, Kevin O' Sullivan and Matthew Wright were saying Matt could be leaving at the end of the name of the Doctor and rating had been declining, if they said the papers are to be believed. However Kevin O'Sullivan said although hes not a fan of Dr Who he enjoyed the name of the Doctor and hopes Matt Smith would stay on a bit longer.
Well at least the DM is giving somebody else a rest…..
When are they going to bring in these new laws to force newspapers from NOT making crap up all the time. "A spokesman at the Beeb" "A Source said" – its all just some guy who works in an office that was spouting his opinion and they make up the story around it to sell some papers.
People, teach them the only way we can… DO NOT BUY THEIR PAPERS WHEN THEY PRINT WHO CRAP!
Overnights are a guide, Tom Baker at the BFI summed this up when he said in his day TV was a big thing in households and if you didn't tune it you had no way of seeing it again and be out of the loop come Monday morning when others would be talking about it. On Sunday Points of View covered Dr Who, some people moaning about the series, the BBC Drama responded & I think its a good response. Blogtor Who have this clip from Points of View. http://blogtorwho.blogspot.co.uk/

Coming from Political Insider's Jim Galloway: A list of 60 House members backing GOP runoff gubernatorial candidate Nathan Deal is expected Friday, and he'll also take a look at one reason that GOP rival Karen Handel's candidacy could prove revolutionary. Read more.

Two Handel supporters (voters) in my household want to know which House members backing Good Old Boy Nathan Deal. Will look forward to seeing that list.Maybe this means a sure-fire loss for Gramps.

Political Insider State GOP lawmakers weigh in on Nathan Deal's side
2:22 pm July 29, 2010, by Jim Galloway
We have two developments today in the Republican runoff for governor.
First, as mentioned this morning, there's Karen Handel's new TV ad, another aggressive punch that you can see here.
It describes rival Nathan Deal as "a corrupt relic of Washington." The language is important. The word "corrupt" is strong but unsurprising, given Handel's message of reform and her need to enhance her image as an outsider.
It is the word "relic" that startles – another hefty allusion to the 20-year gap in the ages of the two GOP candidates. How Deal responds to the two-pronged attack — and how quickly — is likely to be telling.
This afternoon, the Deal campaign cut loose with a list of 24 current state senators who endorse his candidacy – and three Republican nominees for the Senate.
That's pretty much the entire Republican Senate caucus – minus those GOP senators themselves engaged in runoff campaigns. Remember that the leader of the chamber, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, comes from Gainesville – as does Deal.
Though he's no longer a member of the chamber, the roster begs the question: Where is Eric Johnson?
A list of 60 House members backing Deal is expected tomorrow.
Among them will be Speaker pro tem Jan Jones (R-Alpharetta), who – like Handel – carries a good deal of influence in north Fulton, and who will be making robo-calls for the Deal campaign.
In today's print column, the Insider takes a look at one reason that Handel's candidacy could prove revolutionary. She would be the first governor since Lester Maddox in 1966 to become governor without prior service in the Legislature.
But these lists of legislative endorsements are a measure of why it is so hard for strangers to the General Assembly to become governor. Each lawmaker is a network unto himself (herself), representing several thousand votes statewide.
Handel put out a list of endorsements Wednesday that included only 11 future and prospective state lawmakers.
The most interesting name on Handel's list belongs to state Rep. Earl Ehrhart of Powder Springs, who lost his position as chairman House Rules Committee when David Ralston of Blue Ridge became speaker.
Last we heard, Ehrhart was conducting a quiet campaign for House majority leader, to replace the retiring Jerry Keen of St. Simons Island.
Following are the list of state senators supporting Deal:
Senator Don Balfour, Snellville
Senator John Bulloch, Ochlocknee
Senator Jim Butterworth, Cornelia
Senator Buddy Carter, Pooler
Senator Ronnie Chance, Tyrone
Senator John Crosby, Tifton
Senator Greg Goggans, Douglas
Senator Johnny Grant, Milledgeville
Senator Bill Hamrick, Carrollton
Senator Seth Harp, Midland
Senator Bill Heath, Bremen
Senator Bill Jackson, Appling
Senator Butch Miller, Flowery Branch
Senator Jeff Mullis, Chickamauga
Senator Jack Murphy, Cumming
Senator Chip Pearson, Dawsonville
Senator Chip Rogers, Woodstock
Senator Mitch Seabaugh, Sharpsburg
Senator Don Thomas, Dalton
Senator Ross Tolleson, Perry
Senator Renee Unterman, Buford
Senator Dan Weber, Dunwoody
Senator John Wiles, Kennesaw
Senator Tommie Williams, Lyons
Republican Senate nominees who have endorsed Deal:
Charlie Bethel, Dalton
Barry Loudermilk, Cassville
Lindsey Tippins, Marietta

"60 House members backing Nathan Deal" – now there's a reason to vote for Handel, or Barnes, or Libertarian, or write in Mickey Mouse . . .
July 29th, 2010
7:16 pm
Well he said he was in Congress for 18 years and exactly what does he have to show for it other than he made a fortune on the side. (shades of Sonny). But heck you repubturds don't care about that. You don't care how low education is, you don't care about the economy or anything that matters to the people of this state. But talk up abortion which should be the last thing on this states agenda. And yes continue to get on tv and blame THOSE people in Washington for what goes on here.
July 29th, 2010
7:20 pm
The fact that 60 members of the House are backing Deal is reason enough to vote for Handel. Hopefully, she can start clean this mess up and in a non-partisan way. Corruption is on both sides of the aisle.
July 29th, 2010
8:45 pm
What a joke! The good ole boys network is alive and well. It seems our good ole boys support corruption over honesty and ethics.
July 30th, 2010

Who are these nitwits that are lining up behind someone under a federal grand jury investigation?
Why are they even serving in the legislature if they so openly support such open corruption?
This is very disturbing that these so called elected officials support someone so corrupt.
Color me green and call me for Handel!
July 30th, 2010
7:22 am
I am sure they are just as corrupt.Birds a like fly a like.
July 30th, 2010
7:49 am
Does this mean no bid contracts for all or just those that endorse Deal?
July 30th, 2010
8:51 am
The U. S. House of Representatives is so full of amateurs and crackpots that you can find 60 members to support a resolution that Bigfoot is alive and well.
July 30th, 2010
8:55 am
If House members are backing Deal, I'm voting for Handel.
July 30th, 2010
10:25 am
I believe this is referring to members of the Georgia General Assembly House of Representatives.
July 30th, 2010
11:07 am
Hmm. If 60 Republican House cronies are supporting Deal, it is a pretty strong indication that one should probably vote for Handel.
July 30th, 2010
1:24 pm
Nathan Deal is the candidate we need who can beat Roy Barnes and who has been PROACTIVE in his legislative efforts that he is doing what is best for Georgia. He is one of the few candidates to opposes anchor baby citizenship and has put it to legislation….not just words. Palin is losing her credibility by endorsing people who she does not know and who she has never worked with. At least Newt Gingrich knows how Nathan Deal worked in the US House of Representatives and that his voting record is something to be proud of. We see that Palin also endorses John McCain…the ultimate RINO, non-conservative…Look at people's record and not their promises. Deal was a former Democrat like Zell Miller…back when there was a conservative democat faction….they are all now extinct excepf for a few in sheep's clothing ….known as Blue Dogs (who support Obama).

12:33 pm
Hello!!!Come on people, Ga. House Members. I am growing weary of Sarah Palin, Has she supported any male in a race where a female is running? She has no idea who Karen Handle is. I will follow Newt, Kingston etc. Does anyone think Palin or Romney knows anything about Ga. The negative attack on Deal by Handle shows desperation and doubt to me. Lets talk issues. Just remember liberals will support the candiate in a run off they would like to face in a general election. Be careful what you read and hear be sure of where it comes from, It is very easy to make offical looking mailers.

Join Bray Wanderers on the latest stage of their journey to build a football club owned and run by the community
Wanderers lay siege to the Bohemian goal
Bray Wanderers Under-19s brought three points home from a trip to the AUL to face Shamrock Rovers.
A hard-fought encounter reached its half-way point scoreless, and the hosts gained the lead early in the second half through Boyd.
Eoin Rossi scored an equaliser for the Gulls just minutes later.
But twenty minutes later he got his marching orders, and it was Dylan Travers who got the winner in the last minutes of the match.
It ended 2-1 to the young Seagulls.Next up for Wanderers is a home game against Salthill Devon at the Carlisle next Saturday 20th September with a 2pm kick off.
The Bray Wanderers players will be fighting fit for their matches after they formed a new partnership with Shoreline Leisure.
The Seagulls' players will receive membership of the Shoreline Leisure Bray on the Southern Cross Road as part of a contra sponsorship deal estimated to be worth €40,000 over a five year period to the Airtricity League Premier Division football club.
They'll be able to work on their strength and conditioning by using the leisure centre's state-of-the-art facilities, which include hi-tech gyms and weights rooms, sports halls and fitness classes – while the squad can also use the swimming pools for recovery sessions after matches.
The partnership has been hailed as a perfect match between Wicklow's premier health and fitness group and Wicklow's premier football team.
It is the latest move by Wanderers to enlist the support of local business since the club embarked on radical new campaign to secure their future by forming a community-owned company – Bray Wanderers Community Football Club (BWCFC) – to help raise funds to run the football club and finance projects to develop amenities for the local community at the Carlisle Grounds.
The 300 Club launched by BWCFC at the beginning of May has already seen a significant take up of the memberships.
Shoreline Leisure have fitness centres in Bray and Greystones – boasting swimming pools, state-of-the-art gyms and weights rooms, sports halls and fitness classes. The company also has the Shoreline Sports Park in Charlesland, which has a 400m all-weather athletics track, astro pitches, tennis and basketball courts, rock climbing and other facilities.
Shoreline Leisure Bray manager Kevin Kelly said: "This is a great partnership for Shoreline Leisure and Bray Wanderers – Wicklow's premier health and fitness group with Wicklow's premier football club.
"These are exciting times at Bray Wanderers and we're thrilled to be able to play our part by getting involved and supporting the team – it's great to think that we have a role to play in the success of the Seagulls!"
"We are looking forward to having the likes of Jake Kelly and Robert Maloney rubbing shoulders with our other Shoreline members, who will be able to witness the kind of dedication elite athletes put into their fitness regimes. It can only have a positive impact on those wanting to lead healthier lifestyles."
Bray Wanderers President Philip Hannigan said: "This partnership with Shoreline Leisure is precisely the sort of support that will help Bray Wanderers deliver for our community both on and off the pitch.
"Since launching the new Bray Wanderers Community Football Club initiative we've had a great response from the supporters, local businesses and the community in general – they realise the more we put into our local football club, the more everyone will benefit from it."
Bray Wanderers manager Alan Mathews said that the fans should see the benefits of the new partnership on the pitch.
"Myself and the players are really excited by this deal and are very grateful for the help and support given to us by Shoreline we are delighted to have formed an alliance with them. Strength and conditioning is now an integral part of player development and has become a vey important facet of the game. The state-of-the-art gym facilities at Shoreline will help players develop strength, speed and endurance and therefore allow them to make the most of their ability."
"In addition to the top class gym facilities Shoreline provide us with we have the added benefit of being able to conduct recovery sessions in the swimming pool, which hopefully will lead to injury prevention going forward. Our Physio Ed Foley and Fitness coach Ross Hamilton are developing programmes for the players and working with them on an individual basis and from a manager's perspective, anything that encourages the players to work hard and improve themselves is most welcome."
