Various modifications of the compositions and articles of the invention may be made without departing from the spirit or scope thereof and it is to be understood that the invention is intended to be limited only as defined in the appended claims. Sealants based on mercapto-terminal liquid oligomers play a major role in the luting and sealing of joints and in the production of insulating glass units, as the cured polysulfide polymers show very good long-term elasticity properties, good chemical and weathering stability, and low water vapor permeabilities. The sealants used until now had the curing takes place by oxidation of the mercapto terminal groups with metal oxides or peroxides. Optimum properties with regard to elasticity are obtained by curing with manganese dioxide. Unfortunately, such sealants often show reduced adhesion in the bonding or luting of glass after UV irradiation. In U.S. Pat. No. 3,736,301, the curing of mercapto-terminal polysulfide polymers with acrylates and amines is described. But at the same time, it is indicated that it is desirable to use co-curing agents which are oxidants which link together the uncrosslinked mercapto end groups. Only an analogous one-component system in which amine is released within several days gives a satisfactory union of the acrylic with the mercapto end groups and hence gives good physical properties of the resulting cured substance. However, such slowly curing one-component systems are not usable for industrial manufacture for instance of insulating glass for which rapid curing is necessary. It is an object of the invention to provide fast-curing sealants which possess the same good long-term elasticity properties and stabilities as the oxidatively cured sealants on the basis of mercapto-terminal liquid oligomers, but which show no reduction of the adhesion even after intensive UV irradiation, particularly with simultaneous action of water. It is another object of the invention to provide novel bonded glass structures. These and other objects and advantages of the invention will become obvious from the following detailed description. The novel sealants of the invention are comprised a mercapto-terminal liquid oligomer containing plasticizers, fillers and additives wherein the improvement comprises as curing agent an acrylic or methacrylic compound with at least two acrylic or methacrylic groups per molecule and a guanidine derivative as a curing catalyst. The sealants are particularly suitable for the production of insulating glass panes and for the bonding and luting of glass. It has been found that the sealants based on liquid mercapto-terminal oligomers can be cured to an elastic product with the aid of acrylic or methacrylic compounds with at least two acrylic or methacrylic groups per molecule if the mixture contains as curing catalyst a substituted guanidine. The amine-catalyzed reaction of multifunctional mercapto-terminal and acrylic-terminal compounds is known per se, but for corresponding oligomers, only a jelling had been observed. For this reason, according to EP-A 0502611, epoxy resins are added to these mixtures for full cross-linking. But the addition of epoxy resins to liquid mercapto-terminal compounds leads to undesirable hard substances. It has now been found that when reacting mixtures of mercapto and acrylic terminal compounds with amines, preferably the acrylic-terminal compounds reacted with one another which results in a jelling of the mixture. But as a part of the mercapto-terminal compounds is not bound, there is no complete crosslinking, that is, a mixture of this kind does not cure completely. While the resulting composition is solid and form-stable, it does not have satisfactory physical properties. Under slight mechanical stress, it tears cohesively and the elasticity is negligibly low. If, however, a substituted guanidine is used as curing catalyst, there surprisingly occurs a stoichiometric addition of the mercapto groups to the acrylic groups, i.e. rapid, uniform complete curing is brought about and a co-curing agent is not necessary. Sealant mixtures which contain liquid mercapto-terminal oligomers with at least two mercapto groups per molecule as well as plasticizers, fillers and additives can be cured to form rubber-elastic substances with good physical properties without additional curing agents, by means of acrylic or methacrylic compounds with at least two acrylic or methacrylic groups per molecule if a substituted guanidine is added as curing catalyst. Sealants of this kind are so-called two-component sealants. One component (A) contains the liquid mercapto-terminal oligomer(s) and common plasticizers, fillers and additives. The other component (B) contains at least bifunctional acrylic or methacrylic compound(s), and possibly also plasticizers, fillers and additives, preferably a retardant. The curing catalyst can be in component A as well as in component B. Just before use, the two components are mixed together in a ratio so that there is at least one acrylic or methacrylic group per mercapto group. By the choice of the curing catalyst, its amount and possibly a retardant, the curing can be adjusted so that the pasty substance jells with 10 seconds to several hours and then cures and depending on the acceleration, the substance has a very short processing time, desirable for application of the sealant by machine, or a so-called pot life of several hours which should be ensured for manual processing. After curing, the pasty sealant applied on substrates adheres to substrates of different types such as concrete, stone, metal, glass and plastics, particularly PVC. Nor is the adhesion impaired even by prolonged storage in water. The adhesion on glass is especially good and is not diminished even by long and intensive UV irradiation or by UV irradiation with simultaneous storage in water. The sealants of the invention correspond in their basic composition to formulations known per se on the basis of liquid mercapto-terminal oligomers or polymers. Usable for the substances are all liquid polymers or oligomers or mixtures of oligomers and polymer compounds with at least two terminal mercapto groups per molecule such as polysulfide polymers, polymeric thioethers and the like. The preferred liquid mercapto-terminal compounds are polysulfide polymers and oligomers of the formula HS-(RSS).sub.n -RSH, n is an integer of 5 to 50, and R is alkyl, alkyl ether or alkylthioether. The preferred R is a bis-ethyl-formal of the formula --C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --O--CH.sub.2 --O--C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --. The molecular weight of these compounds is, depending on the number n and the size of R, in the range of 500 to 8000, preferably 2500 to 4000. At room temperature, these polysulfide compounds have a viscosity of 0.5 to 80 Pa.s and they have a mean crosslinkage of 0.1 to 2%. They are on the market under the designation Thiokol LP( The liquid oligomers or polymers are pasted in a manner known in itself with the usual fillers and additives as well as plasticizers to form plastically deformable substances. Examples of plasticizers are phthalates, benzoic acid esters, hydrogenated terphenyls, or polyethers of high boiling point. As inorganic fillers can be used all common, finely divided fillers, preferably carbon black, chalk, silicate, lithopon or titanium dioxide. Preferably, a mixture of various fillers in a total amount of 80 to 150 parts by weight per 100 parts of polysulfide oligomer is charged in the sealant. To obtain sufficient stability, the sealants contain 1 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts of polysulfide oligomer of a compacting or thixotropizing agent. Examples of such substances are highly dispersed silicic acids, bentonites, or hydrogenated castor oils. Adjuvants are catalysts necessary for the respective curing system, accelerants or curing retardants, and possibly also adhesives, as e.g. silanes, emulsification adjuvants, drying agents or pigments. Such adjuvants which may be contained in the sealants up to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts of polysulfide oligomers, are known as are the fillers, plasticizers, chain stoppers and thixotropizing agents from sealant formulations for other areas of application. Curing agents for the sealants of the invention are acrylic or methacrylic compounds with at least two acrylic or methacrylic groups per molecule. Suitable are acrylic acid or methacrylic acid esters of polyvalent alcohols such as glycol or diethylene glycol diacrylate or methacrylate, trimethylolpropane-di or triacrylate or methacrylate. Preferred are higher molecular weight acrylates or methacrylates, such as polyalkylene glycol acrylates or di- or poly-acrylates or methacrylates of higher molecular weight polyols. Particularly preferred are reaction products of di- or poly-acrylates with mercapto-terminal compounds, preferably with the above-mentioned liquid mercapto-terminal polysulfide oligomers. Such products are known from EP-A 0502611 or from Polymeric Materials Science Engineering, Vol. 67 (1992), pages 415 to 418. The quantity of curing agent in the sealant is such that there is at least one acrylic or methacrylic group per mercapto group. A slight excess of acrylic or methacrylic groups does not harm with respect to curing and it may lead to a reduction of the rubber-elastic properties of the cured sealant. It is advisable, therefore, to choose the stoichiometric ratio of mercapto to acrylic or methacrylic groups in the range of from 1:1 to 1:1.5. In addition to the curing agent, a curing catalyst is needed. The guanidine derivatives to be used are all mono-, di-, tri- or tetra-substituted guanidines, namely both alkyl and acyl- or aryl-guanidines and substituted biguanides. Examples are methyl, dimethyl, trimethyl, tetramethyl, ethylol, acetyl, phenyl, diphenyl or triphenyl guanidine. Preferred are tetramethyl, diphenyl, or di-o-tolyl guanidine as well as o-tolyl biguanide. These are commercial products which are employed as solids or pasted with plasticizers. They are used in an amount of from 0.05 to 2 parts by weight per 10 parts of the acrylic or methacrylic compound(s) used. Depending on the type and amount of the curing catalyst, there results gelation times in the range of from less than 10 seconds to several minutes which is quite desirable for machine methods for the application of the sealant. For manual application, processability times of several hours are desirable and they are obtained by adding a retardant. As retardants are used carboxylic acids, preferably fatty acids, particularly stearic acid or isostearic acid, which are added in an amount of 0.1 to 1 part by weight per 10 parts of the acrylic or methacrylic compounds used. Curing catalysts and retarding agents can be added both to component A of the sealant consisting of liquid mercapto-terminal oligomers, plasticizers, fillers and additives, as well as to component B containing the acrylate or methacrylate compound(s) and optionally plasticizers, fillers and additives. Preferably they are placed in the curing component B. Stored separately, both components are stable for several months and after being mixed, they cure in the set curing time of some seconds up to 1 day to a rubber-elastic substance. In the following examples, there are described several preferred embodiments to illustrate the invention. However, it should be understood that the invention is not intended to be limited to the specific embodiments. All quantities are stated in parts by weight. The polysulfide polymer employed has the average structure HS--(C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --O--CH.sub.2 --O--C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --SS).sub.23 --C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --O--CH.sub.2 --O--C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --SH with approximately 2% crosslinkage, a mean molecular weight of 4000 and a viscosity at 27 Acrylate I has the following structure: ##STR1## wherein R is an aliphatic chain of the average structure --(C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --O--CH.sub.2 --O--C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --SS).sub.8 --C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --O--CH.sub.2 --O--C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --, Acrylate II has the following structure: ##STR2## wherein R has the above stated meaning.

Bolton's burn
Glasgow Fire Department hosted a relatively rare training opportunity for area firefighters Saturday at the building that had housed Bolton's Landing and other restaurants.
Cave City, East Barren, Park City, East Allen and Alvaton volunteer departments also each had at least one participant, and several personnel from State Fire Rescue Training were involved. A few smaller fires were set for the fire personnel to knock out first; then the flames were allowed to totally engulf the building, and groups practiced using larger hoses.
The new owners of the property, Bill and Janie Logsdon, plan to build a new location for Barren Outdoors on the site and were going to demolish the structure anyway, so Bill Logsdon suggested using it for fire demonstration purposes.

Take-Two: Grand Theft Auto V Development is 'Making Great Progress'
Posted on February 3, 2012 AT 06:24am
THE BUZZ: Take-Two has assured investors during a recent financial call that Grand Theft Auto V, is "making great progress" in its development.
When asked the firm decided not to address talk of a release date for the title simply saying, "Grand Theft Auto V is making great process." Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick did reveal that the game, "promises to continue Rockstar's incredible track record of delighting fans by raising the bar in interactive entertainment".
EGM's TAKE: So much mystery surrounding GTA V. Many analysts believe that the game will be released during the next financial year beginning April 1, which is a good bet considering that Rockstar has Max Payne 3 coming out in May. Don't expect to see Grand Theft Auto V until at least October of this year and that's assuming development goes smoothly. We're all dying to get back on the mean streets of GTA and pretend to be gangsters, our real jobs sadly don't allow us to drive cars off the top of multi-story car parks into low flying helicopters.
What features would you like to see added to the game? Let us know in the comments below.

Redesigning the World: William Morris, the 1880s, and the Arts and Crafts
by Peter Stansky
Princeton University Press, 293 pp., $27.50
The Collected Letters of William Morris Volume I, 18481880
edited by Norman Kelvin
Princeton University Press, 626 pp., $55.00
William Morris and the Middle Ages
edited by Joanna Banham, edited by Jennifer Harris
Manchester University Press, 225 pp., $10.50 (paper)
In his rough serge suit and open-necked shirt, William Morris was often taken for an artisan. This pleased him, but in truth his appearance was at odds with his position, and his tastes. Morris had inherited a considerable private income from shares in a copper mine, for he came from the capitalist class he loathed; while his view of the world was not that of a working man but was formed by his enthusiasms when an Oxford undergraduate in the mid-1850s. His years in the university gave him his poetic inspiration, his artistic friends, his beautiful, silent wife, and a potent dream of comradeship in a medieval town set amid meadows. Even Morris's socialism was filled with nostalgia for Oxford: the utopian romance News from Nowhere harks back to his youthful discoveries as though to efface the troubled years of his adult life.
When Morris went to Exeter College in 1853 he had High Church inclinations and seemed destined for the clergy. But friendship with Edward Burne-Jones and others of his gifted generation turned his thoughts toward romance and art. They read Tennyson together, and especially Ruskin, whose prose at this time, in The Stones of Venice and the third and fourth volumes of Modern Painters, was as highly charged as any Victorian verse. Morris found that he too could write poetry: it was printed in a journal he financed, The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine. But his ambition now was to become an architect. He apprenticed himself to G.E. Street, whose offices were in Oxford and whose practice served the needs of the Gothic Revival in ecclesiastical building. This phase lasted only a few months, for Morris came under the capricious and exciting influence of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who turned him into a painter for a little while.
In 1857, with Rossetti and other Pre-Raphaelites, he painted murals for the new Oxford union building. He there met Jane Burden, whom in two years he would marry. This working-class girl, a groom's daughter, was to become the subject of much Pre-Raphaelite art, her unique features embalmed in their mysterious celebrations of yearning. Janey's actual personality was also mysterious, and remains so. When Henry James met her years later he found her "an apparition of fearful and wonderful intensity": since he had known her only through the pictures of her he was filled with awe that she could move and speak. She had claimed Morris's adoration from the first. He felt that to be in her thrall was itself an artistic activity. "I cannot paint you but I love you," he wrote on the back of an abandoned canvas.
Although he failed to become either an architect or a painter, Morris had a limited success with his poetry. In 1858 he issued The Defence of Guenevere. Since Rossetti and other poets of the original Pre-Raphaelite group appeared only in periodicals if they published at all, this volume can be called the first book of Pre-Raphaelite verse. Morris …

Oxygen - The Breath Of LifeHere is where you can choose from among the many subjects on this web site. The overall theme of this web site is the "Oxygen Time Release" concept -- the concept that you can do something which puts extra oxygen into your body. This extra oxygen is put there in a way which allows it to release slowly -- over many hours. It is almost as if you could fill your lungs five times over for every single breath you take -- and store the unused oxygen here and there so that it is available no matter whether you breath, deeply or not, good air or junk. As important as it is to understand "oxygen" and how to get more of it in your body, that information would be useless unless you understand about the "free radical form of oxygen." That subject is very thoroughly covered on these pages. This web site, then, presents scientific data about oxygen and health, the benefit to you of having more oxygen in your life, and several amazing techniques for getting more oxygen into your body so that it is, in effect, time release. The top of this page features a dynamic menu of many choices. You'll see quickly how that menu works. Just hold the mouse pointer over any major subject and a sub-menu of more choices, each clickable, opens up. The heart and soul of my web sites is research you can count on. The most basic of this research, on this page, concerns the "Science of Oxygen." I commend that page to you -- to understand this vital subject. You may have a pressing current need! If you have cancer, or someone you know has cancer, then you may want to jump immediately to the menu, above, labeled "Disorders" and then, further, click on "Cancer." Just as I, Karl Loren, introduced the truth about the cause of heart disease, I've now presented it for not only the CAUSE of cancer, but for the spread (metastasis) of cancer. If you are even past that, and your need or interest is in therapies, go to the menu above and click on "Therapies." Each of the further links, under Therapies, will give you a wealth of information you can use. Finally, if have gone even beyond either "Disorders" or "Therapies," just try the links in the menu above under "Products." There is a revolutionary new concept among these many pages, also. That involves the references to "Electronic Study Aides" which I have designed to help you understand this important data. Whenever you are reading any page here, and find one of the images as on the left -- it will be a link to an electronic study aide, related to the subject on that page. These study aides are located on a different web site, devoted entirely to electronic courses and electronic study aides -- created by Karl Loren. Don't miss reading about me, the author, Karl Loren. Click on the several pages in the menu above, about Karl Loren. Write me a letter -- you will get a personal response. Within the above menu, under "Karl Loren" you will find a link to "Tables Of Contents." That is an extremely powerful tool for locating and linking to the thousands of pages on this web. There are MANY different Tables of Contents -- each one is devoted to a separate Category. There is a wealth of information and help on these pages -- take your time. This web site is a breath of fresh air in a world of pollution. |

The 2013 Major League Baseball season hasn't even started yet, but it has its work cut out for it, thanks to the World Baseball Classic. Last Saturday, Canada and Mexico faced off in a first round game of the D pool at Chase Field in Phoenix, and Canada's merry band of hosers walked away with a 10-3 victory. No big deal, right? Wrong.
In the 9th inning of the game, with Canada up 9-3, Mexico's pitcher Arnold Leon didn't quite care that his allies to the north were paying attention to the WBC rules and trying to put up as many runs as possible. Instead, Leon pitched inside on Rene Tosoni, which drew a warning from the umpire, and Leon followed that up by drilling Tosoni in the middle of his back. What resulted was a bench-clearing brawl that would have made the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox blush.

Going Premium
After some deliberation I have finally decided to make all my caches of size "small" and larger Premium Only, or only accessible to paid memberships on geocaching.com.
Groundspeak have geocaching apps for iPhone and Android that doesn't require the cacher to have a login name at geocaching.com. Anyone that can install the "Geocaching Intro" iPhone app may as a result find my caches, potentially destroy their hiding place and take any TBs and coins out of the box for their keeping. With the increased mainstream interest in geocaching I am seeing this as an upcoming larger problem.
Some people say "The risk for those things to happen are close to zero". Not really. I had a cache hidden in a stone wall where an iPhone cacher tore down half the wall to get to the cache, and he never put the stones back in place. I have had trackables suddenly disappear from caches, once by one noob cacher that actually had a login and stated in the log for the cache that he had retrieved my coin. That cacher only logged four caches, and my coin is gone.
I am getting tired of this, and since there is no mechanism for consistently confirming finds or for marking a cache "visible only to cachers with 300 confirmed finds" I am now relying on that one indicator showing a persons interest and dedication for geocaching: A paid membership.
Unfortunately, this approach has one serious flaw, which I am prepared to overlook. Families where one of the parents have a premium account and the spouse and all the children have free accounts will not be able to have the spouse and kids log my caches any more. I can see that this is irritating, but one has to blame Groundspeaks policy for forcing cache owners into doing this. I wish it wasn't so.
So, as of today, all caches I own that are big enough to put trackables in them will be for Premium Members only. Micros and nanos will still be available to unregistered cachers and those with an unpaid membership.

4th TeamMatch ReportsWhitchurch Saints 4th XI v Howards 3's - Saturday 2nd February 2013Score 1 - 2 LossSaints effort in this game cannot be faulted at all. However, the lack of match time was very clear as Saints made far too many mistakes at crucial times. Having nearly all the play, Saints were unable to break down a resolute and experienced Howards defence who simply soaked up the pressure and then scored two break away goals in the first half when the Saints midfield was caught napping.With a better formation in the second half Saints attacked again and again and yet were still unable to convert their chances with the Howards keeper having a stormer. It was only until a few minutes before the end of play that they broke through when Maria Cheadle followed up from close range to slot the ball home in the corner. Saints continued to attack but inevitably ran out of time leaving them to rue too many basic errors and reflect on a game they should have won. Having been called up to the 3s, Lou McCarroll was a big miss in this game, but congratulations to Liv Blok for her man of the match and thanks to Carin Scirrow for a great job umpiring.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Whitchurch Saints 4th XI v Bridgend 2's - Saturday 1st December 2012Score 3 - 1 WinAfter a two week break the 4s faced Bridgend 2s in the final league before the xmas break. With patience, Saints started to put together some great early passes and making the most of Elinor Mahoney's speed up front. Saints put the opposition under a lot of pressure, and after a couple of accurate linking passes between Elin Hughes, Cath Hughes and Lou McCarroll with Elinor Mahoney making a diverting run, Lou was able to connect crisply to first time finish from a wide angle. Saints continued to play well deep in Bridgend's half with Kylie Powell making some incisive and skilful runs from midfield, while at the other end the defence was able to contain any break outs with Lucy James and Vicki Smith curtailing the threats from the flanks. Saints won a short corner which Gaynor was able to convert to take a 2-0 lead. Bridgend launched a few attacks and won a short corner from which Claire Stewart made a cracking save low at the left post. However, another short corner saw Bridgend pull a goal back after indecision at the back.After half time Saints continued to look to attack at every opportunity and again attacked with guile, speed and skill. Saints had most of the game in this half but Bridgend were dogged in defending their D, with their goalie making some outstanding saves. Eventually at the third attempt, Elinor Mahoney was able to force the ball home. Saints had many chances but were unable to convert more which is an issue which needs addressing. Having said this the team played well, it was a good win and it was a nice confidence building game all round, so well done everyone and to Maria Cheadle for her man of the match award. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Whitchurch Saints 4th XI v Gwernyfed - Saturday 17th November 2012Score 2 - 5 LossThe 4s made the long journey to Brecon for a 10am start for a game which they will have to learn from as within minutes it was clear that mentally, Saints were still on the A470 around Merthyr Tydfil somewhere. Gwernyfed were well organised, strong in tackles and first to every ball, causing all sorts of mayhem in the Saints defence, so it wasn't a surprise when they took the lead. Saints were missing strength in the central positions but did manage to put a few attacks together, equalising when a Cat Jones cross was deflected into the goal by a Gwernyfed defender. Gwernyfed kept up their attacks and then the Saints defence lost their cool and totally collapsed. Indecision, panicking when clearing the ball, and getting in each other's way led to the concession of three preventable soft goals and so at half time Saints were 4-1 down. In the second half Saints picked themselves up and reorganised with Lou McCarroll and Hannah Taylor steadying the midfield and Saints were like a different team. With a better structure and shape, Saints soon got to grips with and dealt extremely well with the Gwernyfed attacks. Saints pulled a goal back through a great run from Jessica Roberts, but a comeback of epic proportions was put to bed when Gwernyfed managed to sneak another goal home. Saints were definitely found wanting in the first half and left themselves with way too much to do, but at least in the second half they played much better and showed that they could compete with the opposition. Congratulations to Lou McCarroll for her man of the match award for the second week running and thanks to Julie Cook for making the journey to do a sterling job of umpiring. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Whitchurch Saints 4th XI v Cardiff Uni 2's - Saturday 10th November 2012Score 2 - 1 WinAfter a couple of weeks rest the 4s arrived eager for this game. However, the students proved to be fast, fit and organised, and Saints were soon under a lot of pressure camped in their own half for long periods. When Saints did attack, they took their opportunity well. After winning their first short corner of the game, Gaynor Gierak stepped up to strike a cracker right in the bottom left corner to beat the keeper. Again the students applied loads of pressure and Saints found themselves playing far too deep in their defensive end of the pitch. Despite some panicky moments, the defence held out thanks to people getting their sticks in for decisive touches and Claire Stewart having a corker in goals. Saints went to half time with a 1-0 lead but definitely needed to take a well earned breather to calm down and regroup. The second half again saw the speed and skill of the students continuing to put Saints in all sorts of trouble but still they held out, waiting to break on counter attacks. And let a moment of sheer brilliance; a superb cross with loads of pace was delivered into the D from Cat Jones, and was first time steered in low past the keeper's right for a brilliant goal from Lou McCarroll, who later admitted she'd shut her eyes. This was a moment for all to savour, because Saints did what they are capable of, 2 passes out of defence, Cat Jones striking the ball into the D for Lou to do her job, and it paid off handsomely. What a beauty. Saints then had to withstand withering attack after attack, and unfortunately they eventually conceded. Sensing a student fight back could be on the cards, the 4s subtly changed their tactics to absorb the pressure and wait for opportunities to counter. This paid off and at the final whistle the victory was with the 4s. This was a massive team effort and a gritty hard grafted win with everyone playing their crucial part – thanks team 4. Well done all and to Lou McCarroll for her man of the match award. Player of the Match : Louise McCarroll __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Whitchurch Saints 4th XI v Swansea Uni 2's - Saturday 20th October 2012Score 2 - 1 WinSaints took to the pitch in a confident manner, determined to put the previous week's loss behind them. Even though Saints put together some good passes and passages of play, the students proved to be pretty sound opposition with some sterling defensive work. Still Saints kept up with their attacks winning a couple of corners which they were unable to convert. Not long after, in contrast, the students won their first short corner of the match from which they scored to take the lead. Saints for all their pressure found they were unable to break the students down, but also importantly managed to contain them from scoring again. With Saints still 1-0 down late into the second half, their midfield started to pick up the pace launching attack after attack. Some lovely skilful runs from Cath Hughes and a quickly taken free hit in the opposition 25 from a very determined Lou McCarroll saw Saints eventually equalising through Megan Molly Atkins. Sensing the students were tiring, Saints continued to attack and move the ball around. They won another short corner, which to every one's joy; Liv Blok managed to get on the end of, to slip the ball past the keeper. Within a few seconds of the restart the final whistle went, to the relief of a quite a few tired legs. A much deserved win due to a gutsy fight back, so well done to the whole team. Congratulations to Morgann Williams for her man of the match performance after her outstanding goal keeping work. Player of the Match : Morgann Williams

High School Reunions, Why Do We Keep Going Back?
Another decade. Another high-school reunion. Why, despite the initial rolling of the eyeballs, do we choose to meet old flames, rediscover friends, dance badly to dated songs and most likely drink too much at a home-town bar or hotel? Why make the effort, when we have Facebook to see who's gained weight or gone bald? Farah Stockman asked herself why she returned to East Lansing for her 20th year high school reunion. Being a Boston Globe columnist, her inquiry led to her to a mathematical ecologist and the question of why our hometowns keep calling us back.

'Richard Rose's book will help professionals in many fields (counsellors, social workers, family support workers, teachers and guardians ad litem) to make difference to the psychological lives of children by finding creative and sensitive ways to work with painful parts of children's stories.'
- BACP - Children & Young People
'The value and power of the Life Story approach to reconstructing and reconnecting a child using personal narrative cannot be underestimated, and the way that Richard Rose lays out the core elements of this approach is both practical and elegant. This is a refreshing and renewing clinical approach that is both developmentally sensitive and "trauma-informed."'
- From the Foreword by Bruce D. Perry, Senior Fellow, The Child Trauma Academy, Houston, USA
'Good practice is promoted throughout this book. Rose's emphasis on careful preparation and information gathering and the use of various techniques, particularly wallpaper work, to help children process and internalise past experiences is inspiring. Involving primary carers in life story sessions to promote attunement and attachment, and highlighting the importance of play in engaging children in this highly sensitive work is an approach others should strive to adopt.'
- Joy Rees, Adoption Team Leader, Family Futures Associate and author of Life Story Books for Adopted Children
'Richard Rose makes a solid case for placing life story therapy alongside other important approaches for working with children who have been traumatized. He emphasizes working through care givers and using sensitive interventions to help the child explore and make sense of his or her past in order to improve current functioning. The book is loaded with specific techniques and guidance so that therapists of all levels can begin using life story therapy immediately in their practice.'
- Todd Nichols, Executive Director, Family Attachment and Counseling Center, Minnesota, USA, and co-author of Connecting with Kids through Stories, 2nd edition

CNET Editors' Take
January 2, 2013 6:00 PM PST
The story of last year's CES was all ultrabooks; this year, the PC story is all about Windows 8 and touch. Samsung's latest laptop fuses both into a touch-screen computer that's hardly a surprise but meets what feels like a new expectation threshold in upper-tier Windows ultrabooks.
The 13.3-inch Series 7 is a new ultrabook for Samsung, as opposed to last year's top-end Series 9 and budget-targeted Series 5. The all-aluminum laptop is more "multimedia-targeted" than the Series 9 ever was, with a 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution, discrete AMD HD8570M graphics, and JBL speakers. It's also bigger, at 3.2 pounds and 17.5mm thick or 3.6 pounds and 18.9mm for the touch-screen Ultras. The slimmed-down Series 9 from mid-2012 weighed a mere 2.6 pounds.
Besides the optional touch screen configuration, the Series 7 Ultra can be built with either a Core i5 or i7 ULV processor, up to 16GB of RAM, and a maximum 256GB SSD. It's also equipped with 1 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0 ports and optional 4G LTE, although prices haven't been specified.
The Series 7 Ultra joins the larger, more fully equipped touch-screen 15-inch Series 7 Chronos to form the first wave of Samsung's CES 2013 offerings. Both laptops lack optical drives, a trend that seems to be unavoidable in the age of tablets.

The hot weather is the cause for water conservation pleas in DeWitt and Camillus. If you live in either area you're asked to rotate lawn watering with your neighbors.
If you have an even address, officials are asking you only water your lawn and plants on even days. If you have an odd address, you're asked to only water on odd days.
Experts say just because it's unusually hot now, it doesn't mean normally hot months like August will be any warmer than usual.

What's Happening?
Book Stuff
Chicago, 1920: Hadley Richardson is a quiet twenty-eight-year-old who has all but given up on love and happiness—until she meets Ernest Hemingway. Following a whirlwind courtship and wedding, the pair set sail for Paris, where they become the golden couple in a lively and volatile group—the fabled "Lost Generation"—that includes Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Though deeply in love, the Hemingways are ill prepared for the hard-drinking, fast-living, and free-loving life of Jazz Age Paris. As Ernest struggles to find the voice that will earn him a place in history and pours himself into the novel that will become The Sun Also Rises, Hadley strives to hold on to her sense of self as her roles as wife, friend, and muse become more challenging. Eventually they find themselves facing the ultimate crisis of their marriage—a deception that will lead to the unraveling of everything they've fought so hard for.
A heartbreaking portrayal of love and torn loyalty, The Paris Wife is all the more poignant because we know that, in the end, Hemingway wrote that he would rather have died than fallen in love with anyone but Hadley.
