Cruce's foot caught on a rock. He fell and crunched his knees into the rough mountain trail. Cruce pushed himself up as fast as he could. Breathing hard from prolonged exertion, he did not yet feel pain in his scraped leg. Two other men jogged past him. The second man, Rayden Fanlyre, looked back. His thick sandy hair flopped across his forehead as he checked on Cruce.
A precise wooden blow struck Cruce in his left buttock. Rayden faced forward and hurried on. The leyton prodded Cruce with his baton of dark walnut, worn smooth by the breaking in of many militia volunteers. Cruce muffled his groan but could not dim the flash of hatred in his eyes.
"Run, you clumsy clod!" Leyton Bevone shouted at Cruce, much louder than he needed to.
Cruce ran and soon his pants over his right knee were soaking with blood and becoming plastered with dust. Despite his hurt leg, he struggled up the trail and passed some of his comrades so as not to be the last man.
The trail grew steeper and Cruce and eleven other young men scrambled up the sharp shifting gravel. They were motivated as much by their desires to look strong for each other as the baton and rude tongue of Leyton Bevone.
After the dozen men reached a level area they slowed to a stagger. The thin air at this elevation was taking its toll, as it was supposed to, and everyone was breathing raggedly. Cruce's life at the heart of the Valley of Nufal on the shores of Lake Kwellstan had not toughened him for this. His heart pounded like it was going to burst and his vision was reddening. Gasping for air, he wiped his dripping nose.
The Leyton came up the trail behind them. Although he tried to appear casual he was winded as well and called for a break. Cruce resisted the urge to collapse on the ground. Like most of the other men, he continued a few more slow steps before hunching over with his hands on his thighs. He did not want his muscles to cramp up. Cruce had already experienced that clenching torment on yesterday's run.
Looking down the mountain as he caught his breath, he could see how far they had climbed the trail. The crude path wound with switchbacks through scraggily pines that were getting shorter and thinner as the wind grew teeth. Far below was the softer greener foothill forest where oak and maples mixed with pine. Looking small now, the city of Kahtep lounged at the entrance to the valley. It was the gateway to the heartland of Nufal, and the city marked the shift between the inner forests of the valley and the grassy plains beyond the sheltering mountains. The Inezhep rose on the western edge of town. The white stones of the square tower displayed from top to bottom relief sculptures of Nufalese lore and triumphs. The Kahtepians were especially proud of the Inezhep. They had built the tower without magical aid from the tabre.
Cruce and his fellow recruits had run higher than yesterday. Jogging these trails on Mount Elta was meant to harden the militia volunteers. They had six weeks to train before serving winter duty on the frontier, and they were told that they needed to be much stronger.
And Cruce was getting stronger. Strength training and weapons training for three weeks in Kahtep had gone well, and Cruce had been proud of his progress. But the endurance training in the mountains had been hard on him. Leyton Bevone, more than the other leytons, had seemed to revel in Cruce's difficulty.
When Cruce's breathing had steadied a little bit, he reached for his small water skin slung across his shoulders. He forced himself to drink slowly, but his dry mouth sucked the water in until his stomach felt like a cold hard lump.
"Too much water, lordling," Bevone snapped.
Cruce tensed his stomach muscles as the leyton's baton come at his torso for a rough poke.
"You be puking it up like the baby you are," Bevone said.
With a baleful look Cruce watched him walk by. The wind tugged at the graying wisps of brown hair that surrounded the leyton's bald spot, and Cruce noticed a jagged scar on the back of Bevone's neck. He envied whoever had given the original wound. Other men were drinking water faster than they should, but Bevone had chosen to single out Cruce for criticism, as usual.
Cruce plugged his water skin and sat down slowly on a boulder. He stretched his legs out and started to gingerly pull up his pant leg to inspect his wound. The knee was scrapped and bloody. Cruce flicked out the small bits of gravel stuck in his skin. The injury was not terrible, but he would have to endure the burning pain for the rest of the run.
Needing encouragement, Cruce looked across his homeland. To the west spread the Nufalese plains until they reached the Rysamand Mountains. Even at a distance the western mountains were imposing. Tall and snowy, the mountains presented a forbidding barrier at the edge of the Nufalese world. One could not look at them without contemplating their elemental presence. The plains were a dull green and gold this time of year. The heat of summer had faded the lush grasses and the first frosts of autumn were browning the land. The trees that filled the creek bottoms were still ablaze with color, as was the whole Valley of Nufal that glowed in the sunshine when he looked to the east. Surrounded by the dark peaks of the Tabren Mountains, the large oval valley was joyous with fall colors. The oaks, beeches, ashes, and maples were especially bright with red, vermillion, and gold. From these heights, Cruce could see the cities and villages populating the glorious land. Distant golden rectangles and triangles surrounded the cities where fields had been harvested. Around Kahtep the fields started on the plains and moved up terraced mountain sides next to the city.
At the center of the valley that prepared for winter with an autumnal beauty that cheerily defied cold death, Lake Kwellstan was as bright as a blue diamond in the sun. It looked cold, and Cruce recalled the cool breeze that came off the waters in the summer. He could almost smell the mossy shore at the edge of the ancient forest.
This was his land, the home of human civilization, and he was enduring this grueling training so that he could defend it from the northern savages. The wild far-ranging peoples of the northlands had always been a problem. They would raid the outer settlements of Nufal out on the plains or in the foothills. They stole food and livestock, and sometimes, to the dismay of the Nufalese, stole women and children. At least two or three times a year, the savages would waylay a small group of travelers and slaughter them gruesomely.
The attacks came in the winter months because otherwise the savages ranged far north in the warmer weather, following game to summer pastures. But attacks were becoming more frequent now because the Nufalese settlements had expanded farther from the protected heartland of the Tabren Mountains.
In response, the ad hoc militias of the past were now organized under the famous savage fighter Bellastan Carver. The established city-states of the Valley of Nufal whose lords sponsored many of the settlements now organized small formal militias to supplement the frontier fighters, although Kahtepians still supplied the majority of the effort.
The humans of Nufal desired to expand their territory despite the bloodthirsty threat from the savages. The Nufalese were enlightened, guided by the superior and spiritually blessed tabre. The howling brutal herds that seemed to comprise the rest of humanity on Ektren should not be tolerated, according to the common thinking.
Cruce believed in the professed mission of the Nufalese to expand civilization, and he wanted to defend the settlers. They were Nufalese people, and they suffered murders, rapes, thieving, and the burning of villages and farmsteads. It was right to fight the savages, and he believed he would find the strength and wisdom of manhood out on the cold dangerous plains this hungry winter.
He drew his pant leg back down over his battered knee and then tightened the laces on his boots. His feet were throbbing and his blisters were like nightmares stamped on a waking mind.
"Get up, little boys!" Leyton Bevone shouted. "We be going to the summit today and it be a long way back before sunset."
Cruce got up. He put his weight on his leg gingerly, but then glanced at the leyton and saw him eyeing him. Cruce set aside his pain and jogged to the head of the group.
An hour later, the men were plodding but the summit was near. Mount Elta was considered a friendly mountain, and in the summer ordinary albeit athletic citizens would hike to the summit for a day trip. But today the wind was biting. Cruce pulled up the soft knitted wool hood attached to his leather jacket. Some fresh snow had already fallen at this elevation, but it was only a smattering of white between the boulders and gravel. Vegetation no longer grew along the trail, but this cold high place of dusky stone remained inspiring. Cruce was exhilarated to reach the top. His lips were chapped, his lungs hurt, and his muscles shook from exertion, but he was a lake-land boy no more.
"Seeing the world like this is worth the difficulty," Rayden commented.
"Yes," Cruce agreed. He was not accustomed to measuring his successes alongside common men from the trade or reaper classes, but he found that his joy was not lessened by the sharing of it.
Gesturing across the stunning vista, Cruce said, "We will fight for this great land." Reaching the mountain top had made him feel truly worthy of the task.
"And you will be our commander," Rayden said.
As the only estate class man among the Kwellstan recruits, Cruce knew he was bound for command rank. He resolved to do his utmost every day of training to prove himself to these young men. He wanted their true respect once he earned his command.
"I have to mentor a season under Gehr before I actually get my rank," Cruce reminded modestly.
Cruce, even at his youthful age, had figured out that his status was probably the reason for Bevone's hostility, but he still did not think it deserved. He worried that Bevone's choice to constantly single him out for ridicule would sully him in the eyes of the other men.
Cruce soothed himself with the pleasing image of returning to Kwellstan in the spring as a militia commander. Perhaps that dashing outcome would excite Ribeka. As Cruce thought about her, his fatigue faded into daydream pleasures. He looked forward to spring when he would have a chance to court her properly.
Until then, his new comrades were his companionship. They were all far from home and perhaps class differences would be lessened by regional familiarity. Studying Rayden next to him, he recalled that Rayden was from the successful trader class Fanlyre family. Rayden should have had a good position in the family business available to him. Cruce wondered if they shared a craving for adventure instead of settling into expected comforts. He asked Rayden why he had joined the militia.
Rayden frowned, looking almost angry. Cruce worried that he had offended, but then Rayden replied, "I lost my temper over a girl."
Happily interested, Cruce encouraged him to go on. Rayden rolled his eyes, embarrassed as he recalled his conduct. "I was in love," he lamented. "The girl showed interest in another man. I started a fight. I beat him good, but then there was talk of hauling me to the Judges. Gehr Bradelvo said he could get me out of Kwellstan. I'm hoping when my duty is done in five years, I can go home and it'll be forgotten."
"That sounds like a good plan," Cruce said, valuing Rayden's honesty.
"Up, you puppies!" Leyton Bevone shouted. He had given his charges little time to savor the summit because he had little interest in their aesthetic contemplations.
Conversations ended and the dozen young men slowly lined up on the trail. Bevone shouldered his way through the line with strutting contempt. "At least you boys made the mountaintop." He jabbed Cruce just below his left armpit with his baton. "Even our watery lordling not be disgracing us," the leyton added.
Cruce smothered his fiery anger and kept himself from even looking at the surly leyton. Once Bevone had passed, he rubbed the sore spot and reflected that the leyton was certainly skilled at finding the tender bits on a man.
Just as the men started back down the trail, Rayden came up close behind Cruce. He whispered, "We only have to tolerate him during endurance training."
Cruce appreciated the encouragement and expected to make a friend in Rayden.
The hike down the mountain was difficult. Descending the steep trail on sore feet and thoroughly strained muscles grew excruciating, even for young men. Leyton Bevone, who seemed to know little pain or weariness, pushed the men harder whenever they flagged.
"Run!" he commanded as soon as the trail leveled out.
The militia volunteers obeyed. Running feet often skidded on loose gravel and sometimes a man had to grab the arm or shoulder of a comrade to keep from falling.
When Rayden's hand seized Cruce's shoulder, he slowed to support him. Rayden's right leg had cramped badly. Rayden bent over and gasped as he grabbed his throbbing gluteal. Cruce stopped and the other men ran around them on the trail. Rayden collapsed.
"Keep moving," Cruce advised. "Stretch it!" He offered his hand to help him up, but Leyton Bevone swatted it away with his handy baton.
"Each man be relying on his own body," the leyton snapped as Cruce narrowly dodged the swinging wood.
For once Bevone's attention was not on Cruce. He struck Rayden on the arm and then across the back. Rayden cried out and drops of sweat flew off his wet hair as his head arched backward. He grimaced and struggled to comply, and although he was getting up, the leyton gave him no chance to succeed. He hit him in the gluteal that was cramping and Rayden went back down hard.
"The savages be having no mercy if you be down in battle. Get up or you be worse than dead," Bevone warned.
Cruce grabbed Rayden by the arms and put him on his feet. But he was only punished for giving aid. Bevone kicked Cruce in his bloody knee and chastised him with a rabid snarl. "He'll never be gaining the strength to fight out the pain if you help him!" the leyton raged. He swung his baton, but Cruce intercepted the smooth hard rod of walnut with a firm grasp. Two veins bulged on his forearm as he held back the wood with suddenly fierce strength.
Confronting the weathered face of the leyton, Cruce said, "It is right to help my comrade."
Rayden straightened as best he could and resolved to run again. "I'm all right," he announced bravely but Bevone was not listening.
The leyton narrowed his eyes at Cruce and yanked his baton away from the riled volunteer. "So you want to be showing me how full of stones you are, lordling?" he challenged.
Wanting to stay above the leyton's level, Cruce reiterated that it was only right to help a comrade. "That is basic to militia service," he added.
Bevone scoffed at the young volunteer's presumption to tell him about militia service. "Who made you the Great Divinity? Do you be thinking you're the hero to save us all? You just be wanting to show us you're better than us," Bevone accused.
Because Cruce remained ungoaded, Bevone sweetened the bait. "Or you really be here to prove your strength and make up for your broken useless father," he said.
The unexpected taunt rattled Cruce.
Bevone continued, "Oh yes, I know you be of cripple's blood. You think playing soldier be making you a man because you have no real father to show you how."
Cruce saw red. He had never known such anger was possible. He attacked the leyton with his bare hands.
Bevone had wrangled with many a militia volunteer in his time, but he had never hit a nerve so raw before. Cruce dove at his throat with both hands and grabbed the sinewy neck of his instructor. Bevone defended himself with his baton, but Cruce was oblivious to the first few blows. Cruce pushed Bevone down on his knees and continued to strangle him. Naturally desperate, Bevone whacked Cruce's arms with his baton, and the pain finally broke through Cruce's madness and made him let go.
Rayden, appalled by the eruption of violence, grabbed Cruce's shoulder and shouted for him to stop. By now the other volunteers had stopped on the trail and were looking back.
Cruce did not even hear Rayden's plea. The leyton sprang to his feet and attacked. Cruce grabbed the baton before it hit him again and they grappled fiercely, swinging punches and trying to yank each other off balance.
Several of the other men ran back to intervene. Three men grabbed Cruce from behind and two men shoved themselves in front of the leyton as Cruce was dragged away. Blood dribbled from the Leyton's split lip and his teeth were bright red from the blood in his mouth. Two pink oval marks on his neck showed where Cruce's thumbs had assaulted his windpipe.
"You'll be regretting this!" Bevone yelled hoarsely.
"I'll not let you insult my father," Cruce said. He tried to shake off the men holding him but they held him still by twisting his arms behind him.
"Get him on his knees," Bevone commanded.
"Leyton, no!" Rayden contradicted. "We won't hold down our comrade for your revenge. Let your temper cool."
Leyton Bevone was shocked. "Don't put your eggs in this bird's nest, boy," he warned and gestured at Cruce.
"Let Master Carver judge him. It is proper, Leyton Sir," Rayden insisted. His voice quivered as he realized how bold his words were.
Seeking allies, Rayden looked to the volunteers holding Cruce. He could see that they were reluctant to hold down their comrade so that their leyton could punish him. They had no doubts about how viciously the leyton would treat Cruce.
Hesitantly, one of the other volunteers said, "Leyton Sir, let Chenomet be judged by the Master. I'll bear proper witness to what happened. I swear by the Great Divinity."
Rayden moved protectively in front of Cruce. "It's my fault. He was only trying to help me, Leyton Sir."
The Leyton quelled his urge to shove Rayden aside. Although he burned to exact his revenge on Cruce while he was restrained, he suddenly doubted his vicious nature. He had driven this batch of volunteers hard. He drove each group harder than the last. Perhaps he had gone too far. These young men were comrades, and, on the mountain side with the dusk gathering, they might not tolerate the abuse that Bevone longed to deliver upon Cruce.
His shame be worse if his punishment be public, Bevone reasoned.
"He be getting no leniency from Master Carver," Bevone grumbled. Then he did push Rayden down roughly and stepped up to Cruce, who was still breathing hard from their intense struggle. With his usual skill, Bevone cracked Cruce along the jaw and knocked him senseless.
"Carry your comrade," he ordered and started down the trail without looking back.
Rayden, although still in pain from his muscle cramp, got up and draped one of Cruce's arms over his shoulders. Cruce was slack and heavy. Another man took his other arm and helped Rayden drag him down the trail.
Bevone ordered the men to resume their run with an especially surly snarl. Soon the volunteers left the two men carrying Cruce far behind. Eventually, Cruce regained his senses and was able to walk with Rayden. They reached the militia base outside Kahtep well after dark. Two militiamen were waiting for them and they promptly took Cruce into custody. They locked him in a root cellar.
Total darkness oppressed Cruce as the entrance was barred behind him. He pushed himself up from the dirt floor. His head throbbed and his body felt torn apart and put back together sloppily. He fumbled for his water skin and carefully squeezed the last drops into his mouth. Although the blow to his head had left his thoughts dull, surging anger lingered in his body. Part of him was glad that he had given Bevone a dose of his rage. If the other men had not intervened, Cruce believed that he would have trounced the veteran instructor. Bevone was wrong to call his father weak. Watching his father struggle against debilitating pain and disability had taught Cruce much about strength while growing up.

3. Pull-Ups
One of the biggest mass builders for the back, pull-ups are also one of the most versatile.
How to Modify the Pull-Up:
- Varying grip element (towel, thick rope, offset grip)
- Modifying linear movement; you can perform side to side movement, you can perform a leg lift or l-sit with each rep
- Overload the movement with a bookbag between your feet.
Remember if you can't do a pull-up, inverted rows are an excellent choice!
4. Bulgarian Split Squats
I really like this movement because it not only builds muscle and leg strength, but it also improves hip mobility and knee stability. If you have a bookbag with some books in it, you can hold it during this movement overhead, in a zercher or bear hug at the chest or out in front of you.
Don't forget, elevating your front leg on a box will extend the range of motion for this exercise. Also, an EQI in this position is amazing for rehabbing hip and knee issues.
5. Ab Roll-Outs
A more advanced modification to a plank, this movement forces torso rigidity for better movement and increased strength potential for compound, ground-based exercises.
The difference between this movement and a plank is that movement of the upper body is engaged while the torso remain rigid (resisting extension). Many of you know that there are some pretty innovative modifications to this exercise in Combat Core. I suggest an ab roller, but you can also use blast straps or gymnastic rings to mimic the movement.

What other readers are saying about this title:
Grandma Barbara said:
Told from three different points of view, this book, like the "U" mystery, seems to be inflated to be a fat book; "V" also seems to be trying for a mainstream novel plot. We have the mafia, we have rich bored women with their gossip and affairs, and we have the little good-hearted but dangerous crook. We have a LOT of product placement. The character of Kinsey is flat and uncertain, the situations contrived. Kinsey tells us every turn she takes while driving, every step she takes while cleaning, every thing she eats. I would say Grafton needed the aid of a much stronger blue pencil - but in that case she'd end up with a short story. Very disappointing.

Kinsey turns in a shoplifter while buying new 'undies' on sale and so begins her twenty-second story on her nearly 38th birthday. It's a tangled web of plots involving stolen goods, the Mob, unexplained suicides, betrayal, and revenge with characters both new and appearing again. This mystery has more pages and a more intricate plot than some of Grafton's series. I thought it was very well done and just turned page after page to the finish.

|The kid and me
More accurately, he'd lie on the pillow I arranged at an angle to keep his head a little higher than his belly. It seems a terrible injustice that, at only two months old, he suffers gastric reflux without having earned it through repeated exposure to his fellow humans over a long period of time.
|Jack contemplates binky
Our grandson Jack, our first grandchild, has all his parts (though one has yet to "descend") and is as nearly perfect as anybody could pray, from the unmarred soles of his feet, to his workmanlike fingers, soft but brawny little shoulders, cleverly crafted ears, oddly knowing eyes, and usually sweaty head, which is crowned with long, tawny silk. His skin is quite pink but with some of the tones of his Native father.
Because he's our first grandchild, we're easily entranced by just about everything he does. I arranged his pillow – Vicki calls it his "cloud" – with another over his head to shade him from my reading light. This way I could study him, awake or asleep, while I worked.
|Baba Rhum Jackie
He was born two weeks early, pretty tiny, and it was clear that his nervous system was still being tweaked even two months later. Sleepy or mid-nap, his arms often popped straight up over his head, looking like a "Praise Jesus!" or an "It's up, it's good!" Sometimes his arms and his legs flailed around like those of a crazy little man who'd just walked into an unseen spider web. Hold him near your face, and sooner or later you'd get a couple of good schmecks in the eye or nose.
While he slept, his breathing might be fast, then abruptly slow down, then turn into a pant, all within a few minutes. Do infants dream?
Awake and on his cloud, he stared for many minutes on end at the plain white ceiling above his face, or at the painting of fishing vessels hung behind and above me (oh, Jackie, we're going to do some fishing), certainly at the lights on the small Christmas tree at the end of our couch.
|Getting ready for goodbye
He gets a little stuffy sometimes, and while he was here, reedy peeps came from his nose as he slept. It reminded me of a column one of my close friends wrote after taking my oldest son owl watching for the day when Nate was only about four. As they rode home, Nate slept and whistled while he snored.
Jack now snores like a Munchkin dockhand, and for proof his mom, Jamie, sent us an audio file of it.
She also emails daily Jackie-grams with cellphone photos of him in various outfits or poses or moods. We like to name them for what his image in each one suggests: Baba Rhum Jackie, Bubba Jack, Preacher Jack ("Praise Jesus!"), Jackie the Lounge Lizard, JackWurst (when he's swaddled tightly for sleep), Smilin' Jackie the Catskills Comic.
Whenever I get one of his great big crooked smiles all to myself, it feels like making the A-List for a party with piles of steamed shrimp and stone crab claws, and Keith Richards.
No one has or will mistake our Jack for a girl. Still, when we look at him he's shatteringly beautiful. I suspect any grandparent who is pleased to be one has the same intense feeling while looking into the face of his or her own wee human.

Last call: Nikon D3 buffer upgrades end July 20, 2011
The optional and $additional$ service of upgrading the buffer of the Nikon D3 is ending on July 20, 2011, so if you have a D3 and want to have it upgraded, act now! This according to Nikon Europe (via Nikonians).
As you may recall, the D3, that came along with the D300, were part of a power duo leading the Nikon advanced DSLR renaissance at a time where it seemed Canon could do no wrong.

ST. JOHN | More than 120 teachers brought their classwork and their ire to Monday's Lake Central School Corp. board meeting.
The issue is the nearly $200,000 in raises and stipends the board approved Feb. 21 for 11 current administrators and the decision to hire a director of secondary education.
"It's a feeling of disrespect," said Bob Gustas, president of the Lake Central Teachers Association and a math teacher at Hal E. Clark Middle School in St. John. "To us it's like a slap in the face."
The LCTA is currently negotiating with administration on the next contract, and teachers haven't had a raise in four years, Gustas said, adding that teachers in the audience were a mix of union members and non-members.
The negotiating team meets with administration on a weekly basis, he said.
Katherine Clark said trying to raise three children on two teachers' salaries has become impossible and that staying in the district may no longer be possible.
Administrators who received the raises and stipends "are not the only one who have had increased responsibility. It is the teachers who are in the classroom who offer a warm and welcoming environment for our students," Gustas said in a statement to the School Board.
The raises and stipends were for 2 percent of the school corporation's staff, Gustas said.
"We are anxious to see how the other 98 percent will be treated," he said.
The elimination of extracurricular stipends for teachers also was an issue.
Sarah Verpooten, journalism teacher at Lake Central High for 11 years, said she spent 300 extra hours last year working with students to put out the school's award-winning publications that wasn't part of her contract.
School Board members Howard Marshall, Janice Malchow and George Baranowski told the teachers that they are appreciated and that it's a process that takes time.
"It's a tragedy and very upsetting. I know we are losing a lot of young teachers," said Malchow, who voted against the pay increases for administrators. "I also know it's not (just) a Lake Central problem. It's happening all over the state."
Marshall told the teachers, "This is a partnership. Lake Central wouldn't be as highly rated without its teachers, without its facilities, or without its administrators."
Baranowski urged the audience members to immediately call their legislators because this is a budget year in the Indiana General Assembly and the Lake Central School Corp. needs additional funding per student.
"We only have until April 29. When they pass the budget, that's it for two more years," Baranowski said.


text: When I was a little girl I always wanted a pink mustang with a purple strip down the side. So when I turned 15 and got my learners license my dad and mom started looking for a vehicle for me. I had my mind made up that I wanted a pink mustang with a purple strip. I just knew that they were going to find me one but I realized that Ford do not make a pink mustang with a purple strip. So I decided that as long as it was a Mustang I would be fine with that. So one day at the local Ford dealership someone had just trade in a 1999 Red V6 Mustang. I saw it and fell in love with it. It was not a GT but I knew that my dad and mom would never get me a GT mustang. My dad said that "I could get a GT when I could pay for it and the insurance." So when I graduated high school and after I got married I went to the same local Ford dealership and brought a brand new 2007 GT Mustang. Then 6 months later after I brought the car I found out that I was pregnant with my second child. So I decided that this was not a car for a mom with 2 kids, so I traded it in. I miss that Ford Mustang VERY much!!! I enjoyed the time I had in it.

Conquerors of Armageddon
April 2000
Released: 2000, Century Media Records
Rating: 3.5/5
Reviewer: Nathan Robinson
Looking back through some of my metal compilation CDs, I came across a couple that had tracks by this band. Well, the songs obviously did not thrill me to death, otherwise I would have looked into buying some of the band's material by now. But being given the opportunity to review this album, I am more than grateful to allow Krisiun a second chance.
These three Brazilians crank out unrelenting brutal death metal ala Hate Eternal. Relying mostly on speed, Conquerors of Armageddon is a non-stop barrage of hatred, aggression, and destruction. Blazing guitars, double bass, and blast beats dominate throughout every song. This tends to make them all sound similar, actually. In fact, what they do on this album is not necessarily too original, but they play convincingly, and I have to give them credit for this. Songs are loaded with guitar riffs, so there's variety there. But the drums are pretty much the same in all songs. Even so, drummer Max Kolesne does an excellent job and has quick rolls and manages to throw in some interesting cymbal crashes and rides amongst the mayhem to make the songs a bit more interesting. But what really stands out for me are the guitar leads and vocals. The leads are a mixture of play-as-fast-as-you-can fret acrobatics, and more ominously slow melodies that mix well with the blasting assault of double bass. Vocally, Alex Camargo sounds like a cross between George Fisher (Cannibal Corpse) and Jason Avery (Monstrosity). So overall, his voice is not anything new, but his register is perfect for the music….not too low, and not too high. And his phrasings are done well. Production was handled by none other than Hate Eternal shredder Erik Rutan. And let me tell you, this album sounds damn awesome! In fact I think it sounds better than Hate Eternal's opus Conquering the Throne.
Overall Conquerors of Armageddon is a very solid, punishing death metal album. However, being a big fan of death metal and already owning a shitload of CDs, I do not find these guys so mindblowing that I need to buy their albums. But with repeated listens, I am sure this album will become more and more unique. Those who drool over stuff like Hate Eternal, Morbid Angel, Nile, and Suffocation, should check these guys out.

Conquerors of Armageddon
April 2000
Released: 2000, Century Media
Rating: 4.2/5
Reviewer: El Cid
As I promised, I borrowed a couple of Death Metal CDs just to review them on the board based on my personal tastes and here is the first one I picked. This is not a new release but I don't remember seeing a review posted so I'll do it anyways.
The first track is an intro that might come as a cliché for some of you because it's pretty much made out of an intro that brings the feel of the winds of Satan into play and then fires a whole 41:37 minutes of non stop brutal death metal. Krisiun features some top line musicianship and it's displayed through the entire album. The most amazing thing about this one (in my opinion) is not the insane double bass and blast beating that litteraly rain upon you all the time, it's the guitar leads that that this CD to whole new level, they are actually thought of, not just slapped together like some other bands I've heard (*coughangelcorpsecough*).
To sum it up, this is a must for brutal death metal fans, I'm not a die hard of the genre, but I know I loved this album.

Kat Tallman, 30
Operations manager of special services, COPS Monitoring
Williamstown, N.J.
Telguard has expanded its reach into the PERS marketplace by licensing its cellular technology to Mytrex, a South Jordan, Utah-based manufacturer of medical alarm systems.
Mytrex is targeting independent seniors who are doing away with POTS but still want medical response service. The technology used in Telguard's TG-P cellular PERS communicator can now be found in Mytrex's MXD3G "turnkey" PERS solution.
Mytrex President Richard Bangerter said his company was looking for a partner "with proven cellular technology and service to enhance our product line and help us address the growing no-landline senior population." That led to Telguard, which provides solutions for wireless monitoring of intrusion and fire systems.
One of the selling points for the MXD3G is that it's "central-station agnostic," eliminating the need to purchase and maintain proprietary equipment.
"As long as a dealer's central station advertises support for two-way voice, the MXD3G using Telguard service can be installed to deliver it," the company said in a prepared statement.
The device is available through Telguard or Mytrex.
Work hard, play hard: COPS Monitoring is planning a Dealer Appreciation Bonanza during ISC West that will include cocktails, dinner, line dancing and a mechanical bull riding competition for anyone brave enough to saddle up.
"We wanted to celebrate the opening of our 8,000-square-foot central station in Texas and our recent acquisition of AlarmWATCH," COPS President and COO Jim McMullen said in a prepared statement. "Our dealers work hard all year long. We thought that it would be exciting if we hosted an event that gave them the opportunity to play hard as well."
The gathering will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. at Gilley's at Treasure Island in Las Vegas. There will be door prizes and dealers will be able to commemorate the evening with a Western-themed picture from the event photo booth. Co-sponsors are Alarm Funding Associates, CheckVideo, the SS&Si Dealer Network, Telguard and TimePayment.
Space is limited and is reserved for qualified alarm dealers and their guests. For more information or to find out if you qualify for complimentary tickets, click here or call Betty Hudson at 800-367-2677, Ext. 1256.
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—COPS Monitoring, a wholesale alarm monitoring service, announced Feb. 11 that its Tennessee central station has earned Five Diamond certification from the Central Station Alarm Association.
WILLIAMSTOWN, N.J.—COPS Monitoring has acquired AlarmWATCH of Hunt Valley, Md., a deal that brings the nationwide wholesale monitoring provider 400 new dealers and 150,000 accounts.
IRVINE, Calif.—Keep Your IP, an IP address-forwarding service based here, announced on Nov. 27 that it has signed a reseller agreement with COPS Monitoring.
The snowy remnants of Hurricane Sandy are still blowing across the ridges of West Virginia, but the worst is over for the Eastern Seaboard. Now the recovery begins. And as is the case with any natural disaster, preparation holds the key to the extent of the difficulties ahead.
The lesson—one that's often learned the hard way—is that it pays to do your homework and have a backup plan in place. The monitoring industry prides itself on that, of course, a fact that was validated by a quick SSN survey of central stations in the Northeast after the storm. It showed that while Sandy packed a tremendous punch, the industry was ready to handle it.
Long Island, N.Y., was one of the areas hit hardest by the storm, with thousands of homes damaged and nearly 1 million customers left without power Monday night. Andy Lowitt, vice president of dealer relations for Hicksville-based Metrodial, said via email Tuesday that despite the horrific damage in the area, the central station weathered the storm.
"Lots of downed trees and power lines … 912,000 [on Long Island] without power today versus 934,000 this morning, so tons of customers with beeping keypads, smokes and carbons," Lowitt wrote. "Our natural-gas generator powered our central from 3 p.m. yesterday until power was restored today around 2 p.m. We had some valiant efforts of operators making it in during the day yesterday. Most PDs and some FDs stopped responding during the overnight hours and at one point we had over 3,000 signals in queue."
New Jersey was also pounded by Sandy, but COPS Monitoring in Williamstown was prepared and took it all in stride, according to Executive Vice President Don Maden.
"In short, we proactively re-routed a percentage of alarm traffic away from N.J. to other sites, and significantly increased staffing at our other four central station locations," he wrote in an email Tuesday. "We had 100 percent uptime in N.J. with services, did not lose power, and handled nearly double the normal alarm traffic across our network of central stations yesterday. Today, as expected, was heavy with alarm activity as well. [Generators] kicked on due to a few power flickers, but the grid stayed up."
Don Piston, vice president of sales and marketing for Dynamark Monitoring in Hagerstown, Md., also reported heavy alarm volume but said "we knew that was coming."
"We did great. We got battered with AC power loss and low battery signals because of all the power outages, so the traffic was just huge," he told SSN on Wednesday morning. "But we sailed right through. We had the staffing in place. It's almost no news because we did everything we were supposed to do."
Despite Sandy's mammoth strength and reach, it didn't cause a lot of damage in Syracuse, N.Y.—just 250 miles from New York City and the home of Rapid Response Monitoring. Morgan Hertel, vice president of operations, said Wednesday that at the height of the storm, "we were getting pizzas delivered by the local pizza place. [Sandy] really wasn't a big deal. It was like business as usual."
That might have been the case meteorologically, but it wasn't the case when it came to alarm traffic. At the peak, "we were seeing well over 100 signals a second coming in," Hertel said, adding that Rapid is well versed in storm preparation and had extra staffing in place.
"We're back to normal shifts today," he said. "The technology did what it was supposed to do, the people did what they were supposed to do, and quite honestly we couldn't be happier with the result. We even saved a few lives along the way."
Make it five for COPS.
The wholesale monitoring company, headquartered in Williamstown, N.J., has opened its fifth central station, an 8,000-square-foot facility in Lewisville, Texas. The new center will share live alarm traffic with the company's centrals in New Jersey, Florida, Arizona and Tennessee.
Four-year COPS veteran Derek Kopko will manage the new facility, which has 26 employees. Kopko relocated to Texas from COPS' headquarters in December 2011 and has been hiring and training new dispatchers for the past seven months, the company said in a prepared statement.
Gene Reed, an industry veteran and COPS' newest account executive, will oversee sales in the region.
David Smith, director of marketing and communications for COPS, told Security Systems News that adding central stations benefits the company in two key ways.
"First, because all five of our central stations are hot-redundant and actively share the signal load of the entire company, each central station we bring online reduces the probability that adverse local conditions [such as weather] will affect our response times," he said. "Second, we believe that each geographical region presents its own benefits and challenges to alarm dealers. By operating central stations and having employees in these different regions, we have the opportunity to become more involved with our dealers and better understand how we can support them and help grow their business."
Smith said the commitment to redundancy proved its worth last August during Hurricane Irene.
"When (Irene) went up the East Coast and actually hit our New Jersey headquarters, it only added about a second to our response time because we were able to overstaff all our other central stations," he said. "The more we do that, the more that we diversify our staff, the more stable and dependable our fast response times become."
Longtime alarm industry leaders Mel Mahler and Maria Malice padded their laurels last week with SIAC's 2012 William N. Moody Award, which pays tribute to those in the industry who exhibit "integrity, fairness and perseverance in the face of adversity."
Mahler, chairman and CEO of Nashville, Tenn.-based ADS Security, was a charter board member of SIAC and is currently co-chairman and treasurer. He oversees daily operations and has helped the group clear a hurdle that long defied it: establishing a better relationship with police agencies around the country.
"SIAC's success in building bridges to law enforcement, creating new standards for equipment and encouraging best practices in alarm monitoring and regulations would not have been possible without Mel's dedication," SIAC Executive Director Stan Martin said in a prepared statement. "We are pleased to add the Moody Award to the many awards Mel has received for his leadership."
Malice, VP of special projects for COPS Monitoring and president of the Arizona Alarm Association, was instrumental in getting a statewide licensing law enacted in May in Arizona. [http://www.securitysystemsnews.com/article/arizona... [Link - statewide licensing law enacted in May in Arizona.] Alarm dealers there will soon be able to operate with one license, replacing a web of local regulations that subjected many companies to duplicative background checks and paperwork.
"No one has faced more challenges in a single year than Maria Malice," said Jon Sargent, industry/law enforcement liaison for SIAC. "Opponents constantly tried to undermine her efforts [on behalf of the AzAA]. Maria rallied the troops, fought back with facts and traveled to numerous meetings to help elected officials understand the issues."
Mahler and Malice will receive their awards June 26 at the ESX IceBreaker Luncheon in Nashville. Congratulations …
Say "cheese": The Wisconsin Electronic Security Association has bestowed its annual Bill Cooper Award on Dave Simon, who recently stepped down as SIAC's public relations chairman after being named marketing communications manager at Brink's Inc. The Cooper Award embodies "the ultimate in hard work and fun, tenacity and getting the job done, but with a lighter side," said Mike Horgan, former WIESA president.

SPOKANE-- The Spokane City Council voted unanimously on Monday to approve a contract to construct neighborhood traffic calming projects funded by dollars collected through the City's Red Light Camera program.
Eight traffic calming projects in eight neighborhoods will be constructed later this year for $285,000 collected from the traffic enforcement program.
"This is a great program which takes money collected from aggressive driving infractions and then turns government upside down by going to the neighborhoods and having them decide where and how to spend this money to calm traffic and make their community safer for everyone," says Council Member Jon Snyder.
In 2010, neighborhoods were asked to submit recommendations for locations that they identified as potentially dangerous due to high-volume or high-speed traffic. The neighborhoods were also asked to identify potential solutions for traffic calming. Since those applications were received, they have been approved by Council and designed by the City's Engineering Services Department.
The fully designed projects were sent out to bid early this year, with the final contract approval by the City Council Monday.
The projects include:
• District 1: Logan neighborhood - bike and parking lanes on Illinois. Minnehaha neighborhood - sidewalks on Myrtle.
• District 2: Cliff/Cannon neighborhood - sidewalk bumpouts on Maple/Ash between 8th and 9th avenues. East Central neighborhood - curve sequence lights on Thor and Hartson. Lincoln Heights neighborhood - sidewalk bumpouts at 17th and Mt. Vernon.
• District 3: Emerson Garfield neighborhood - sidewalks on Post. Five Mile neighborhood - sidewalks on Five Mile Rd. North Hill neighborhood - sidewalks on Courtland.
The City's Red Light Camera program was launched in November 2008. Currently, there are 15 cameras monitoring 10 intersections throughout the City. One camera can cover up to four lanes of travel in one direction. The program is a safety program designed to reduce red-light violations and collisions in intersections.

Great films rarely wrap up neatly. The audience is left to ponder what happens next. We at The Envelope couldn't help but wonder if the actors do such pondering as well. They spend so much time figuring out their characters' back stories, how much thought do they give to the after-story? We put the question to a number of actors in some of the season's most compelling films. Warning: Many, many (oh, so many) spoilers lie ahead.
Sally Hawkins: Ginger
Story: Jasmine (Cate Blanchett), a fallen socialite with a tenuous grip on sanity, lands at her working-class sister Ginger's home and thoroughly upends her life.
Film ending: As Ginger reunites with the hot-headed boyfriend that Jasmine talked her into dumping, Jasmine moves out, pretending she has somewhere to go.
Hawkins: "When I think about the life beyond the film, and where Ginger goes and where Jasmine goes, it's heartbreaking. I think they don't see each other again. Ginger will always return to this moment, I think, when Jasmine walked out of her life, and she didn't run after her or didn't see, didn't know what to do. And yet Ginger was in her own bubble of giddiness and Champagne, being back with a man who loves her, even though he has no way of dealing with his faults and his bubbling volcano of violence. It's so delicate."

Chiwetel Ejiofor: Solomon Northup
"12 Years a Slave"
Story: The true story follows Northup, a free black man who is kidnapped and sold into slavery in the pre-Civil War South, fighting to retain his life and his soul as he endures unimaginable torment.
Film ending: Finally able to get word to his friends and family, he is rescued and returns home. He is overwhelmed to see his family and meet his baby grandchild.
Ejiofor: "We do know some of the stuff that happened to him — how he joined the abolitionist movement and put on productions of his book. But then he sort of disappeared. I was hopeful projecting the state of his psychology, though, that he was able to continue his life."
Oscar Isaac: Llewyn Davis
Story: A talented, troubled singer-songwriter consistently sabotages his success in the folk scene of 1961 Greenwich Village.
Film ending: Llewyn gets into a surreal loop of trouble for shooting his mouth off as we hear the first moments of a Bob Dylan performance, which will change the folk world forever.
Isaac: "I like to think he went on to teach guitar and find a way to do what he loves. You're seeing someone that is never going to stop doing what's he doing."

Close to 200 shots were taken to get this shot (oh the wonders of shooting digital)
Initially the idea was to set up the screw for me to focus on, so that when I removed it, I would get water drops in focus. But I like the way the drops fell across the screw and I kept it there. The result is a drop suspended on the screw as it acts as a lens for the american flag in the background.

I believe it will.
This member has provided no bio about themself...
I believe it will.
EP2, it uses stuff from there.
What .eXeC! said, you people needs to understand something, we're doing this for fun, we're not getting paid for it, and we have real life stuff to do as well.
I guess it was a mistake giving dates, but really, it's coming.
It is?
Just wait jeez.
What LordXamot said, at this point NH2 is pretty much done, but is having major improvements, I won't say too much but in the last few weeks it got tons times better.
Final beta test will start soon, no idea how much it will take, I hope that not a lot.
Alright, I'll make sure to send you the refund.
NH2 and Left 4 Dead have nothing in common, it's like saying that doom and HL are the same game because you shoot monsters in them.
About the logo, I made it years before the L4D logo even came out, back in 2005.
So please keep your criticism until AFTER you play the game.
Actually it's not like in the trailer.
If you guys get errors with the vid here just go to youtube:
Yeah, it's just a showoff here.
Yes there is:
Actually I was thinking about calling it a launch trailer, but since the mod is not out yet...
Armored zombies? what is this left 4 dead 2?
Full mod that you launch from steam.
Wow this crap crashes every second no matter what.
What a waste of time.
Q4? not at all, I said Q1, but from what things looks like I think It'll be Q1.5, lets say around April-May, but again, no promises!
Damn, it looked awesome, I took a little look into the VMF's, some great stuff. Is it possible for you to just pack up the last version of the mod and upload it with everything? I'd love to play what ever there is.
NH2 does not require CS:S
"Visits(526 today)" haha ****, I actually feel a bit bad for making everyone check here thinking there was a real update, I'll make up for it soon.
Haha I've actually added a team member to the credits, I've tried to find a way to do it without making you guys jump, didn't found any.
Glad you liked it :)
Amazing! I loved everything, models, voice acting, puzzles, PLOT, too must to list.
This Mod is now my favorite mod of all time, pushing Mistake of Pythagoras to second place.
Can't wait for episode 2!
I've got a question though, I'm making a mod myself and I've run into some trouble that apparently were fixed in HE.
In my mod someone is talking with you over the radio, just like how you did it in HE, so the sound is played everywhere no matter where you are, but when you're far from the npc who talks the closed captions stop showing, how did you got that to work in HE?
What is the point? you can get all the maps from Portal - Still Alive from my mappack: Moddb.com and it's even better in the original.
Nothing was updated, I just edited some text, don't know why it shows as an update for you guys.
A lot longer then the remake.
I wasn't sure if I should show this pic or not, the area here is definitely not final, I just wanted to tease with whats happening in the center of the pic.
Lol I did took inspiration from F.E.A.R in that part, but I still find it funny how I'm getting a "F.E.A.R much" comments in every picture I post here, just because I'm using the creepy woman formula.
Anyway, F.E.A.R was a good game so that's a compliment. :)

MADISON (WKOW) -- Madison police say they don't suspect foul play in a death investigation on the city's west side.
Police say someone out for a walk discovered a body in a wooded area on the 7900 block of Tree Lane. The caller had initially reported the person had been decapitated, but after an investigation police say that was not the case. The body was fairly decomposed. Police believe the body had been there for about a week.
Police say they believe it's a woman's body. They have tentatively identified the person, but will not release a name until it's confirmed.
A Madison police sergeant says she doesn't believe the death to be suspicious at this time.
An investigation is ongoing. An autopsy has been scheduled for Monday.

Anonymous asked: What is your favorite form of foreplay?
Ok, well, if you didn't think the answer to this was gonna be roleplay I don't even know what to tell you but… here is the only form of roleplay that even remotely interests me:
So, we're both in bed… nothing sexual going on, just laying there. Suddenly, A NOISE! Since, in this roleplay I will be playing someone brave, I go to investigate. After being gone for a few minutes she hears the sounds of struggle and then silence followed by me stumbling back to the room holding my stomach as blood pours through my fingers and out of the corners of my mouth (red corn syrup, guys, don't worry!).
As I fall to the floor she screams and collapses to her knees beside me, crying. Through the blood in my mouth I manage to gasp out a request for her to run before my eyes drift towards the ceiling in defeat.
She yells and says that my death isn't in vain, she runs from the room to find no one in the apartment as I, still in the bedroom, am silently changing into black robes and mask. She grabs a knife from the kitchen and continues to search the apartment.
She comes back into the room and I grab her, a fake knife to her neck, "ARE YOU READY TO DIE, BITCH?!" I growl just seconds before I feel the blade that she is now holding slide in between my ribs on my left side. Two more quick stabs follow it before I am able to wrap my head around the situation, "Baby, baby… it was a joke!" I say as I release her from my grasp and pull the mask off of my face. The blood is flowing freely, now, as I again fall to the floor.
"No, no, no! What have I done?!" She yells to herself. In her anguish she turns her blade on herself and plunges it into her stomach.
She falls on the floor beside me and grabs my hand, blood now saturating the carpet.
With our last remaining breaths we stare into each other's eyes.
Then, and ONLY then, can I climax.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I PvPed as Prot all the way through Wrath, and loved the control you had. Multiple charges, stuns, silences and spell reflect made for a very engaging fight. The idea of losing all those things and PvPing as Fury seemed ridiculous at the time.
When I went Fury main spec in Cata, I gace it a try, and was surprised at simply how fun just mashing buttons to kill people is. With Fury, it's all just about killing people as fast as possible, and it's a great way to PvP - you kill fast or you die fast.
Deathknighty said...
When you get a clash of classes, the storm of swords that is fury pvp makes a feast for crows. Also, something about prot tanks dancing with dragons.
Another day, another massacred joke. :P

So this isn't what I was going to write about today. I was going to write a piece on "Social Media Karma and how down voting your friends that you ask to vote you up is a bad idea" so as I do, I go out to find a fun image to edit slightly and then throw up as my little teaser image. I get on Google and search images for the word "karma" at least 4 of the images that showed up on the first page were porn. Not just classy stuff either – I'm talking hard core porn.
Where the hell was this when I was 14. Finding free porn on the internet was a difficult thing… now all you have to do is type in any word on the Google and blam… Plenty of high quality free porn. There is no "are you 18″ buttons to click, no credit card info to give away… This has got to be illegal… Right? Or since there is the preferences section… it isn't?
On one hand it's great – Freedom of search of something – things not being censored… On the other hand THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
Maybe there is a way to lock this on your computer… I'm not seeing one. All a horny teenager has to do is sign up for gmail… sign in… go back to search and he has his own preferences to set. Good times. I hear there are some 3rd party things out there that can lock it… but what average parent/gardian is going to know about these, or know even what to search for?

There's a safe search filter that keeps most of the porn out of my search results…
Mandi says:
Right under the search field in Google Images, there is a little link that says what your search filter status is. It reads something like "Moderate safe search is on." If you want to change the setting, click the link. You will be taken to http://images.google.com/preferences# – where you can set your preferences for images searches – they give you the following options:
SafeSearch Filtering
Google's SafeSearch blocks web pages containing explicit sexual content from appearing in search results.
Use strict filtering (Filter both explicit text and explicit images)
Use moderate filtering (Filter explicit images only – default behavior)
Do not filter my search results.
Any RESPONSIBLE parent who is "Thinking of the children" will have restrictions on their computer already set before they release their children to run free on the internet. If people aren't willing to find out how to protect their children on the internet, they should either toss the computer, or stop complaining. There are also numerous software programs you can purchase that will prevent your children from seeing certain subjects.

Dunlop Trigger Curved Guitar Capo

The easiest capo you'll ever use.
Dunlop Trigger Curved Guitar Capo
When they made the Dunlop Trigger Curved Guitar Capo they knew your sound shouldn't change when you put on a capo, and it shouldn't be a 12-step process, either. With the Trigger capo, you'll come through loud, clear, in tune, and in less time. The Dunlop capo is made of aircraft-quality aluminum, with a strong, padded, spring-action grip that can be changed quickly with just a squeeze. Works for both 6- and 12-string guitars. The Trigger Curved Capo features a unique pressure pad that conforms to fingerboard and frets for buzz-free fretting.

By Daryl Bickell from Woodbridge, VA on 4/20/2011 11:28:05 AM
I've been using these capos for at least twenty years, maybe thirty. I've been playing guitar for just about 50 years and I think they're the best capos out there. They're very easy to use. I've tried many others - even the G7th capo - and still believe these Dunlops are much better. In fact I believe I've been using the same nickle coated Dunlop capo since sometime in the 90's and it's still in good shape. Before that I was using a black one and still use it occasionally when I misplace the nickel one. The rubber was coming off but it's usable. Just need to put a little glue on it and it'll be good as new.

On Saturday afternoon the Somers High School boys' soccer team hosted Canton and defeated the visitors 5-1.
The game was originally scheduled for Monday, but due to Hurricane Sandy, the game was moved to Saturday.
Luke Alvaro led the way with two goals and Joe Pantuosco had a goal and two assists. Corey Brown added a goal and an assist and Brandon Scanlon found the back of the net. Austin Ficara also notched an assist for the Spartans.
James Spatcher scored the lone goal for Canton.
Let Patch save you time. Get great local stories like this delivered right to your inbox or smartphone every day with our free newsletter. Simple, fast sign-up here.
Somers Coach Rick Kelley said that score early and often was the game plan and that is exactly what the Spartans did, scoring three of the five goals in the first two minutes - two of which were within the first 38 seconds.
He credits the success of the day to the leadership and talent from seniors Pantuosco and Alvaro, and also the nearly flawless decision making from midfielders Brian Rossini, Nick Murdza, and Brown.
"What the stats in the book don't say is how well these five boys played together," he said. "Today's game and Tuesday's 7-2 win against Windsor Locks were the break-out games I've been waiting to see from Murdza and Rossini -truly beautiful soccer to watch. An absolute pleasure to witness."
Jeremy Ricard made three saves for the Spartans. Tyler Lange made three saves for Canton.
Somers (11-5) will now wait to see who it will play in the Class S state tournament. Canton (9-6) will travel to Granby on Wednesday.
