The new 168,555-grt Anthem of the Seas is now sailing year-round from Cape Liberty in Bayonne, NJ; it's home ported just across the river from New York City. It's the second Quantum-class ship built for Royal Caribbean International. The first, Quantum of the Seas, is now sailing year-round in China.
Accommodating 4,180 passengers in double occupancy, Anthem of the Seas boasts many thrilling adventures, including SeaPlex, the largest indoor active space at sea with bumper cars, roller skating and a circus school. This hot new ship also has restaurants from chefs Jamie Oliver, Michael Schwartz and Devin Alexander, plus techno-fun including robotic bartenders at the Bionic Bar and VOOM, the fastest Internet at sea.
Travel agents only: Have you sailed on the new ship? If so, tell us your "top personal pick" on our Facebook page or in the comments below for favorite spot or feature of the new ship. Here's a sampling of the personal feedback we've recently received from other cruise experts.
|Travel agent Andrea Campbell loved the views from The North Star. // Photo by Royal Caribbean International
Andrea Campbell, franchise owner of Cruise Planners, an American Express Travel Representative, Indian Shores, FL, enjoyed The North Star. "Compared to the many activities offered on Anthem of the Seas, The North Star may not look as interesting as it's a glass pod lifting you up for views of the ship and the ocean...but The North Star is truly a unique experience at sea," Campbell says.
"You and 10-11 others will enjoy a lift up in a 'pod' for 360-degree views like no others at sea, which make for great selfies," she quips. And once guests are in the air, "The North Star takes you from one side of the ship to the other – providing ship views from a completely different perspective than those who are walking around onboard.
"The ship is amazing from eye level as you explore the various venues, but from The North Star -- for approximately five minutes -- you are able to see the pure magnitude of this floating resort and the sea that surrounds it," Campbell emphasizes.
|Doug Parker, cruise journalist, CruiseRadio.net
She felt that seeing the deck areas, the pool and the sports complex from above with all the bustling activity that goes with them was definitely worth the wait in line.
Campbell acknowledges it's akin to "childlike excitement that comes with experiencing something for the first time."
Doug Parker, a cruise journalist for CruiseRadio.net and a big music and concert fan, Jacksonville, FL, cites the "We Will Rock You" production show as his top pick for a favorite feature of Anthem of the Seas.
"You won't typically find me catching a cruise ship show because to me all the shows seem like the same Vegas act," acknowledges Parker. But he says his impression definitely changed after seeing this show.
"I'm a huge Queen fan and decided to give it a chance," he says. "I was blown away. After all, Queen's lead guitarist, Brian May, gave it his approval on the first performance aboard Anthem of the Seas."
Parker says the two-hour jukebox musical includes 20 Queen songs that range from popular tunes like "Bohemian Rhapsody" to "Seven Seas of Rhye," "Somebody to Love" and "We are the Champions."
The musical extravaganza also parallels a storyline taking place on a planet where rock music is unknown.

His take? "The cast, stage set up, props, and musical talent were all phenomenal," Parker stresses. "In a cruise ship world where bands have been replaced with musical tracks, it was refreshing seeing a live band playing through all the Queen hits [akin to] the Live Aid concert back in '85."
|Debbie Fiorino gets ready to fly on Anthem of the Seas. // Photo courtesy of Debbie Fiorino
Debbie Fiorino, senior vice president, CruiseOne and Cruises Inc., is quite clear that her favorite feature is an easy choice. "I have to say the iFly," she emphasizes.
The iFly is the ship's simulated skydiving experience, offered only on Royal Caribbean's Quantum-class vessels.
At left, you can see Fiorino getting ready to "fly" on this unusual attraction. "I can't believe I did it," she quips, noting that her husband and nine-year-old son also enjoyed the skydiving simulator.
"It was such a great experience, Fiorino says. "I couldn't stop smiling."
Teijo Niemela, publisher and managing director, Cruise Business Review, Lambertville, NJ, and Kerava, Finland, also recently sailed on Anthem of the Seas.
He points to the ship's year-round service from the New York area and its many well-designed features that will allow guests to enjoy pools and other activity spaces regardless of weather.
In the winter months, "what is better than start the vacation with tropical warm in the beginning," asks Niemela?
|Teijo Niemela (right) and Chef Devin Alexander // Photo courtesy of Teijo Niemela
"Anthem of the Seas is most versatile when it comes to the enclosed pool areas — and its Solarium is by far the best Royal Caribbean has ever created," he tells Travel Agent.
"Coupled with the SeaPlex sports area, the sea days would not be boring for guests of any age even in cold or rainy weather," Niemela believes.
In addition, while Niemela personally misses the Viking Crown Lounge, a Royal Caribbean hallmark since the Song of Norway era, he describes the aft Two70 as "a stunning replacement" and cites it as the most versatile lounge area aboard any ship in the cruise industry.
Brad Anderson, president, Avoya Travel, Vista, CA, particularly enjoyed the Dynamic Dining concept on the new ship as it offers guests several, smaller more intimate dining venues instead of just one large traditional dining room.
"I had a chance to try Chic, one of the four main restaurants, and really liked how it worked and the variety it will provide guests."
He describes Chic's food and service as excellent. He also says others he spoke with on the ship really enjoyed the different dining options.
|The Robotic Bar was fascinating to Brad Anderson. // Photo by Royal Caribbean International
"Another fascinating feature of the ship was the robotic bar," adds Anderson. "It's not every day you can watch a robot make your drink. With excellent entertainment and shows, the bumper cars, The North Star – there were so many fun things onboard that I felt I was at a theme park. It was just a really fun place to be."
If you're a travel agent and have experienced Anthem of the Seas on a sailing this fall, what's your favorite space or feature and why? Any tips for other agents? Tell us on our Facebook page or in the comments below and we'll publish a follow-up with a sampling of comments.

Flexibility – Powerful, intuitive ezMaster Network Management software makes it easy to centrally manage unlimited APs locally at the school site, or remotely via the Cloud from the district office.
Ease-of-Deployment – Easy-to-use web interface, simplified management and one-click updates make it easy to deploy and manage a Neutron Series network without extensive IT experience. Gigabit PoE Switches enable access points to be mounted in out-of-reach locations where power outlets are not available.
Lower CAPEX and Lower OPEX – EnGenius' products deliver enterprise-class performance at affordable price points and EnGenius does not charge any licensing or subscription fees. This drastically lowers capital and operational expenses to free up budgetary resources for use in other technology learning initiatives.

text: The concept of "innovation" no longer seems to apply to JavaFX, at least not from Oracle's perspective. If you read the official list of changes in the just-released Java 9, AWT (yes, AWT) has more changes than JavaFX and even then the only significant change is to make it Jigsaw compatible. A product like this needs a very clear "roadmap" of development and introduction of new features but the link on the Oracle JavaFX Documentation page for "roadmap" leads to a place known as "404". I hope that's not a room number in "Hotel California". So, innovation for JavaFX falls back as a community responsibility but is very difficult without any cooperation from Oracle themselves. I personally have not been able to get any response from them except "float your ideas on the mailing list to see what interest there is". Note, that "interest" is only from the community itself... and then what? What do you mean by "go with Johan Vos's experience"? Yes, he and Gluon are fantastic innovators and have built a small company of top-notch talent and are able to crank-out new products and enhancements with impressive frequency. Are you suggesting we all start similar companies? Johan is a former Oracle employee and probably has a well-established relationship with them and access to knowledge that others don't. Personally, I love what he's doing and hope Gluon expands rapidly to enable as much innovation as possible. But what about the rest of us? What are we supposed to do? How do we get large-scale changes to happen? Well, I don't know. But we're better as a team than a bunch of individuals each trying to get some feature implemented in an uncoordinated fashion. The other real issue is that everyone seems to have their own perspective on exactly what JavaFX is or should be. That makes the community ineffective unless someone manages innovation for JavaFX in general. I'd be happy to be that person but sadly, it's not for me to make that call. Johan is like the de facto "Head of Innovation for JavaFX" at the moment but he has his own agenda (mainly in the mobile space) and monetises his efforts. That's what businesses do. So, I think we need to firstly establish just what JavaFX is *now* (even this is not clear) and also what it *should be* (where we coalesce everyone's own ideas) so we can move forward. That is of course *if* JavaFX is actually going to "move forward" rather than "sideways". Honestly though, if you're not moving forward, you are really going backward as you watch the rest of the world disappear over the horizon...

La-La Land Records proudly presents the original score to the Gun Media videogame FRIDAY THE 13th: THE GAME. For this white-knuckle thrill-ride of a multi-player game, based on the legendary horror film franchise, there could only be one man to score the gameplay's musical sounds of terror none other than iconic FRIDAY THE 13th composer himself, Harry Manfredini (FRIDAY THE 13th PARTS 1-6, 9 & 10, DEEPSTAR SIX, HOUSE). Manfredini unleashes his immortal FRIDAY THE 13th soundscape on a whole new platform, for a whole new generation
and it's a masterstroke of musical terror that pushes genre scoring in all kinds of exciting directions recalling his original motifs while exploring new terror-laced ideas. Produced by Harry Manfredini and Dan Goldwasser, and mastered by James Nelson, this 2-CD set is a revelation for all FRIDAY fans and genre music enthusiasts. Art design is by Izzy Cable/Gun Media.

How desperate do you have to be to leave behind everyone and everything you've ever known to embark upon a dangerous and potentially fatal journey towards a country which you know will be unwelcoming and hostile to you?
On Tuesday, The Guardian reported the story of Miriam Carranza who, while facing massive inflation, low pay and job security, finally made the decision to leave Honduras, a country with one of the world's highest homicide rates and Latin America's highest income inequality, when a gang threatened to kill her daughter if she did not pay a "war tax." And on NPR, we heard from Kevin Garmendia, who spoke about his motivation for making the treacherous journey: "fear becomes your friend, so if you become scared, you use that fear to your favor, and it pushes you forward."
The answer to that question appears clear: as desperate as you can be.
But in fleeing threats like starvation, and making treacherous journeys with little odds of success, members of the caravan are, in fact, following a distinctly American tradition.
Indeed, history teaches us that many of our forebears who came to the United States did so out of similar desperation, a desperation so severe that it led them to take the extreme risks that emigration often entails.
A case in point is Bridget Meehan, who arrived in New York from Ireland at age 17 in 1863, married Joseph Moore two years later, and then took up residence at 97 Orchard Street, the home of the Tenement Museum, where I am president. Bridget's native Ireland was reeling from the effects of the infamous Potato Famine, which caused it to lose one fourth of its population to death and emigration.
Yet the decision to leave couldn't have been an easy one. First off, Bridget came alone, meaning she left behind everyone and everything she'd ever known to take a chance on a new life in a land where she — a teen-aged girl — had no support network. The journey she faced was a perilous one. The boats on which Irish immigrants of the era journeyed to North America were called "coffin ships" due to the high mortality rates on board, and Bridget faced an approximate 1 in 10 chance she would die as a result of her journey.
The US of the mid-19th century was notably unwelcoming to Irish immigrants: In this era of "No Irish Need Apply" signs, Bridget would have faced extreme prejudice upon arrival. And she arrived in the midst of a bloody Civil War between North and South.
We hear echoes of Bridget's story in that of Gerson Martínez, also reported in The Guardian. Martinez, after failing to find work in Honduras and facing pressure from a local gang to join, realized the only option for the safety of himself and his 6-month-old son was to join the caravan. He has joined thousands of others in walking in the extreme heat for hours on end.
Plus, like Bridget, Martinez and others like him, already facing extreme prejudice and judgement in the countries they hope to reach. President Trump has described the caravan as an "onslaught of illegal aliens" made up of criminals, despite refugees like Martinez leaving their home country precisely to avoid a forced life of crime.
So why did Bridget make the choice to come? Because she faced — as Gerson Martinez does now — what ethicists call a "choiceless choice": stay in a land devastated by death, or risk it all on a perilous journey to a hostile land where maybe, just maybe, life would get better. The journey and the destination were filled with risks, but it was better than the life she knew in Ireland.
When I reflect on Bridget's life and the choices she made, the parallels between the experience of this Irish teenage girl who lived a century and a half ago and that of the refugees fleeing Central America today resonate.
The refugees fleeing the endemic violence and lack of opportunity in Honduras are, like Bridget, leaving behind everything they've ever known and undertaking a perilous journey to an unwelcoming destination because, whatever risks this decision borne of desperation entails, it must be better than staying home.
Many of us who live in the U.S. are the descendants of Bridgets who took incredible risks because they believed those risks were better than the alternative of staying home. Instead of dehumanizing the Bridgets of today who are currently walking through jungles and deserts towards our borders, I'd like to ask everyone to stop and reflect on just how desperate you'd have to be to make the decision to do that in the first place.
Jennings is president of The Tenement Museum. He served as assistant deputy secretary of education under President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2011. Prior to that, he led GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network), which he co-founded in 1990.

Tangiers has some very fine restaurants offering both traditional and modern cuisine.It's not all just couscous and kebabs. The restaurants here serve all kinds of international cuisine; pizzas, salads, steaks, chips etc... Most provide excellent service for little money. Some of the more traditional restaurants don't serve alcohol, so if you want to have a glass of wine with your meal, it's best to check in advance. Having said that, there are still plenty of restaurants where you can have a drink, especially the international ones. Some provide entertainement too, like Hammadi's, where a band of smiling Andalucian musicians entertains you before parading around the tables for tips, their only pay, at the end of the evening.

This 100% natural oil cleansers, infused with botanicals, is carefully crafted with some of the best skin loving oils, such as safflower and jojoba oils to help to gently remove dirt and clean pores. Great for oil cleansing or just as a moisturizer to brighten up your skin.
Renew: Lemongrass & Eucalyptus calendula petal infused.
Your skin naturally produces oil because it needs it. This natural oil blend heals, protects, and moisturizes your skin so that it may function properly. Properly functioning skin is beautiful, clear, and glowing. The problem is that most cleansers and the environment strip skin of their natural oils and now we need to replace it.
How does it work?
Using the oil cleansing method: massage your skin with cleanser to dissolve the hardened oils in skin which hold impurities stuck in your pores. Steam face over hot water or place a warm towel on face to open your pores, allowing the dirt to be easily removed. Wipe off excess after a minute and continue with skin care routine.
To moisturize: use a small drop of the same oil formula, pat over damp skin to keep your skin freshly moisturized.
Botanical benifits
Safflower: Ability to lower cholesterol levels, aid in weight loss and hair care, boost skin quality, and boost the immune system
Corn flower: The anthocyanins in cornflowers have strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Lavender bud: The health benefits of lavender include its ability to relieve stress, improve mood, promote restful sleep, lower skin irritation, and reduce inflammation
Calendula: The antiseptic and antimicrobial action of the oil help speed up healing of wounds and minor cuts
Safflower oil, sunflower oil, rice bran oil, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, vitamin e, botanicals, essential oils

Baptism Date Request (child)
To discuss making a reservation, please fill out a Baptism date request form or send us a message via the Contact Us page
|A christening or baptism is a special service where we give thanks to God for someone.
It's also a service where promises are made to follow God, either by the person being baptised or, if they are too young, by godparents on their behalf.
It costs nothing to be christened in the Church of England, and it's a wonderful way to start a journey of faith. Baptism is also a serious commitment!
A commitment of two ways – from the baptised who promise to play their part in the life of the church, and from the church to do whatever they can to support the person being baptised.
Where possible, we prefer Christenings to be an integral part of our main Sunday morning services – usually in our All-Age Services (1st Sunday in the month at Bishop Monkton and 2nd Sunday in the month at Burton Leonard). We do however recognise that it can be difficult to get an extended family together to share in the celebration, and we do consider providing an additional service, usually at either 12.30pm, 2.30pm or at 3.00pm.
We are happy to baptise children and adults. If you have any questions or are looking to arrange a christening, please use the contact us link and one of our baptism team will get in touch.
If you are looking to celebrate a new baby's life, but do not feel ready to make a full commitment to the Christian faith, you may want to consider a Service of Thanksgiving instead.

text: I know she's not really my cup of tea and i never listen to her by choice, but still i am really surprised that this is the first Britney Spears song to appear here. This song in particular. I don't think i've even heard it since it fell out of our top 40 and its video off of early morning Rage or Video Hits. It's not her best song. It falls into that myth-making/perpetuating category of Britney Spears songs that i might have a problem with. I wonder how her career (or her life_ would have carried on without it – without the meddling, the image construction. I wonder where the pop scene as a whole would be without it.

Nkhotakota, The Anglican Bishop for the Diocese of Lake Malawi Francis Kaulanda has underscored the need for the deacons under the diocese to work as one entity in disseminating the word of God in the country.
Bishop Kaulanda said this Saturday during the ordination of five deacons at All Saints Cathedral in Nkhotakota district.
The newly ordained deacons include: Innocent Chimowa, Gift Mtendere, James Liwewe, Stanley Mzimba and Phillip Jelanji.
Speaking to hundreds of Christians who converged at the ceremony, Bishop Kaulanda said church leaders can fully perform all ecclesiastical duties if there is a concrete coordination between the church members.
Kaulanda commended the new deacons for accepting the calling to serve and asked them to seek God's guidance in their ministry.
You must always depend on the Holy Spirit in executing your duties, he said.
Speaking on behalf of the newly ordained deacons, Reverend Deacon Stanley Mzimba thanked God for seeing them into the Deaconate office.
This day is a historical one in our quest to serve the Lord, Mzimba said.
Commenting on the development, the Dean at All Saints Cathedral Reverend Baird Mponda, urged the newly ordained deacons to be faithful to God in performing religious duties.
The deacons have been positioned in various parishes and sub parishes under the Anglican Diocese of Lake Malawi.

Here's the old-school materialist of the last century, sitting in his library before a cozy fire, puffing on a pipe. "Of course all religions are foolishness, but Christianity is the worst. It's deliberately anti-science, you see; bases its claims on 'historical' events that never could have happened. Take the Incarnation: We are asked to believe that a human female was impregnated by a nonhuman spirit and gave birth to a God-man. How ridiculous is that?"
Here's the modern-day grad student (sociology), sitting on a plastic chair in Starbucks beside an Espresso Macchiato, tapping on his laptop. "All religions lead to a deep underlying truth. I happen to like the idea of the Incarnation—it speaks to the divine in each one of us."
And here's me, every Christmas, trying to wrap my mind around the Incarnation: Wow. Does anybody really know what's going on here?
Paul had some thoughts about the gospel appearing foolish to those who are perishing. The perceived foolishness had to do with Christ's resurrection rather than His birth—which, as skeptics like to point out, wasn't even an item of faith in the earliest Christian teaching. Of course there can be no resurrection without something to resurrect. Resurrection is incarnation in reverse, right? Sort of—but the roots of the first go deeper than we usually think, and the outcome of the other goes far beyond our imagination.
Genesis 1:2: [T]he Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the water, and with a "let there," energy leaps into being, particles coalesce into spinning rock, water flows, land surges, greenery flourishes, and every form of organic life takes shape. The universe itself is a form of incarnation: spiritual word creating physical particles held together by God's constant attention. And leading to …
Luke 1:35: The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.
The birth of spirit into flesh leads to the resurrection of flesh into spirit, yet with a physicality, a glory, that did not exist before, and could never exist without the Incarnation.
Jesus' spiritual being was made physical by the same overshadowing that brooded over the waters and brought life out of the void. Incarnation put Him in the middle of space and time, into an unfolding of history.
But wait—why create a physical world in the first place? Almost every other religion rejects "crude matter" in favor of some spiritual ideal. God seems to love it—enough to create, redeem, and eventually transform it into something the very rocks and trees, even angels in heaven, long to see.
Back to the unfolding of history, which in time included me. Like every born-again soul, I was once walking around this world, dead in trespasses and sins, as clueless as that dark, hovered-over void. Yet the Spirit was brooding over me. In a moment, my unsuspecting self quickened. I was "inspiritualized" into eternity as Jesus was incarnated into time, and by the same power. The birth of spirit into flesh leads to the resurrection of flesh into spirit, yet with a physicality, a glory, that did not exist before, and could never exist without the Incarnation.
It's not scientific, but life itself remains outside the reach of science. We know how life proceeds and how it ends, how growth occurs, how strength declines, how breath departs and bodies decay. But we don't know what life is, and we can't identify the one force that holds its billions of particles and processes together. Actually, the depth of what we don't know scientifically is staggering. All our advances of the last 6,000 years have only scratched the surface. They are tangents; the mystery of life itself eludes us.
But hovering over the face of the deep is the Animator, who once made and now invisibly remakes, everywhere, all the time. Incarnation and resurrection are the pulse of a world always tottering on the edge of extinction. Things get worse as they get better; decay is the rule, but renewal is the game-changer. Human birth hints at rebirth; winter whispers of spring. What's really going on?
We don't know—but then, we do.
I love this: "I was once walking around this world, dead in trespasses and sins, as clueless as that dark, hovered-over void. Yet the Spirit was brooding over me. In a moment, my unsuspecting self quickened. " So it is for all of us who are born again of the spirit and of water.
Thanks for such a moving article, Janie

New Italian restaurants spring up all the time. But it's those that have stood the test of time (we're talking decades) that are truly worthy of accolades. The following places, covered in Broadsheet's Local Knowledge series, are well worth your attention.
Trovatino Cafe is a popular, unpretentious cafe in the inner west's Wareemba. On weekends, the footpath-facing seating is fiercely busy. Owner Joseph Trovato's father opened the store as a fruit shop 48 years ago, before expanding to include a cafe and gelateria. The gelato selection revolves entirely around classic Italian flavours, from pistachio to hazelnut. The consistency is light and creamy in true Sicilian style (Sicilian granitas are also a specialty here). The best part? You can have coffee granita with a fresh brioche bun for breakfast, just as one would in Italy's south.
While it's a tough competition, Art of Gelato Michelangelo has reason to claim the title for the city's best. In 2014, owner Martino Piccolo was crowned World Champion in a "mystery box" challenge at the Gelato World Cup. Now captaining the Australian team, Piccolo (alongside Gelato Messina's Donato Toce), took out the third place title last year. It's a big deal for the gelateria in Carramar, near Cabramatta. Piccolo works on perfecting classics such as pistachio and lemon, while his son Vince develops new, inventive flavours.
It's hard to imagine, but Mezzapica Cakes used to be the only place to buy Italian sweets on Norton Street. That was when it opened in 1952, before the area became Sydney's Little Italy. It was founded by Sicilian immigrant Angelo Mezzapica, whose nephew Frank Portelli took up an apprenticeship with Mezzapica in 1964, before purchasing the family business in 1982. Portelli still uses Mezzapica's original recipes, and sells a range of traditional Southern Italian sweets. As for the deliciously crispy custard or ricotta-filled cannoli, Portelli sells about 5000 a week.
In the heart of Sydney's Little Italy is Five Dock's 38-year-old restaurant Filicudi. It's as authentic as they come; from the cosy interior, adorned with posters of Italian landscapes, to Maria Carbone's traditional fare. Carbone has worked in Filicudi's kitchen for 21 years, and became its owner in 2014. Fresh gnocchi is made each morning, the bread is homemade, and if you're lucky, you might find Carbone's Sardinian specialties on offer. Favourites include the penne granchio with blue swimmer crab, and a classic tiramisu for dessert, which Carbone whips up on the spot. Just don't ask for the secrets to her sauces.
While Buon Ricordo is not part of our Local Knowledge series, it's important – leading the charge as an Italian fine-diner in Paddington since 1987. It was opened by Neapolitan Armando Percuoco, who worked in restaurants in Naples and Capri before moving to Australia in 1972. Using the flavours of his homeland, Percuoco has garnered significant acclaim for his food and inviting service. Longstanding menu favourites include the fettucine with cream, parmesan and a truffle fried egg, which is artfully tossed at your table.

Proper Smurfing Etiquette
The topic of smurfing is a controversial issue in the online gaming community. And yet, there are still gamers who continue to create smurf accounts to steamroll newbies, which is often considered as deviant player behavior.
And to some extent, it is also considered as a form of cheating…
But Jeff Kaplan, the game director if Overwatch once said, "Smurfing – and I know this isn't what you want to hear – isn't really that big of an issue…" He also stressed, "I know there is a very bad perception of smurfing. But the reality is, skilled players are moved rapidly out of lower skill situations…"
So basically, what he's trying to say is that is the act of smurfing is not bad at all. You just have to follow proper smurfing etiquette to uphold the fairness of the game. And that's what we're going to talk about in today's entry.

On Saturday December 1st, NC State took care of business against a struggling ECU team. NC State scored 58 points in an easy win. The defense played well against the rush especially. Allowing only 55 rushing yards through three quarters. ECU was forced to switch quarterbacks throughout the game.
The offense for NC State was working on all ends. The rush and the pass were both effective as Finley threw for 400 yards with three touchdowns and Reggie Gallaspy rushed for 220 yards and two touchdowns. The Wolfpack accumulated over 700 yards of total offense while scoring on an efficient rate putting up 58 points. Jacoby Meyers led the team in receiving with 163 yards.
The NC State defense also held the Pirates to only 3 points as ECU kicks a field goal at the end of the game to avoid the shut out. The wolf pack defense also forced 2 turnovers in the secondary. Morehead and McCloud both accounted for an interception. Winning the turnover battle was key to a hot start and allowed the offense to build a comfortable lead. The storyline from this game was whether our defensive secondary could hold ECU's young quarter in check as the secondary has struggled in the past this season.
The season comes to an end on an impressive win. NC State was able let it all loose in today's game after a stressful win over UNC in Chapel Hill. This game served as a replacement game for the previously scheduled West Virginia game. State hitting 9 wins for the second straight season. Things definitely seem to be looking up for the pack football program. Moving forward in other seasons a key point to focus on is finishing games late in the season where the pack are favored. We saw that this year as Wake Forest was able to come into Raleigh and knock off a ranked NC State team. Finishing late in the season is something that has proven difficult for NC State.
As the regular season came to an end today, the wolf pack look ahead to their bowl game and who their possible opponent may be. The wolf pack will be able to look back on their wins and losses and hopefully learn from them. Some areas to be cleaned up are the defensive backfield and the inside rush attempts. Looking back on this game especially I feel there are a lot of good takeaways. Taking notes from how the offense was affective in the redone and short yardage situations along with how they attacked the run with hard hitting blocking and hitting the gaps hard and strong. NC State also hopes to see their star freshman running back Ricky Person back in action and in time for their bowl game. Keep an eye out this Sunday for the bowl selection to see where the wolf pack will be taking their game to and possibly an interesting out of conference matchup that is sure to shake up the game plan.

This is a site devoted to casting a spotlight on those comics in the Sunday pages that for one reason or another, were never collected. Also, I'll be paying attention to other comics worthy of wider recognition.

Weird Romance - Ernie's Pretty Birds
That said, there are some truly weird - and I mean WEIRD stuff that happened early on that the recent batch of Piranha Club strips fail to recapture.
Now, this comic above showed on the 23rd, but the next one below didn't return back to the petshop until the 27th. For the sake of coherence, I've left out the irrelevant comics involving Ernie's girlfriend talking shop.
For this, some context is going to be needed. In case it wasn't already obvious, Uncle Sid is a notorious cheapskate, who constantly fosters off of his nephew Ernie, and eats meals from Effie, a sweet senile old lady who's gone through at least five husbands, and constantly mistakes Ernie or Uncle Sid for one of them.
If it were just a case of mistaken identity, Uncle Sid could leech off Effie all he wanted. But there's just one minor inconvenience. Effie has a tendency to create creative recipes that makes thrown-up garbage look appetizing. Still, he continues to scarf the food down, just because it's free. In terms of scrimping for money, he makes Uncle Scrooge look like a skinflint. (May be a match for another notorious cheakskate, though)
I switched the above 6th and 7th of July strips around, so it'd flow better. Until I pointed out this detail, I doubt you'd ever know the difference.
You know, Uncle Sid, that condemnation wasn't intended to be taken as a challenge request. But this minor setup is worth it for what has to be the funniest following comics in all of Ernie's history:
After that, it settles down into a rhythm with the rare 3-panel comic.
And just to complicate matters further, Uncle Sid shows up to reluctantly claim rights over his so-called "love" of his life. Well, not so much "proclaim", as just "show up and outlast the competition".
This would be considered something of a weak way to resolve the conflict, so here's another short mini-arc where Barnacle Bill started hitting on Ernie's girlfriend instead.
Well, maybe "hitting on" is the wrong choice of words. It's Doris who instigates her affections, right in front of her reluctant boyfriend yet. Either she was just displaying fondness for animals, or trying to make him jealous. Take your pick.
Sadly, I can't seem to find the Saturday comic that comes right after this, but it'd be hard to top this finisher.

Hello there, sorry to comment randomly again, but I've sent you a couple of messages on KL and I'm not sure if you got them. Please let me know if there's a better way of being sure of reaching you.ReplyDelete

I didn't know that Piranha Club/Ernie is going to end. Even though I don't read this comic, it's still going to be sad to see it go. If that is the case, it should have had a 30 year run, which by no means is a short life, but it's still a pity.ReplyDelete
Knowing that the comic is hosted at Comics Kingdom, the online archive will eventually go kaput too, just as it has been gone for Edge City (which I didn't realise until it's too late, because I am interested in it).
Thank you for reading.

Now George, tell us a little bit about whatwe got going on her with these gauges. Well, we to make sure our leak, uh, solidjoints don't have no leaks in em, uh, we put nitrogen on freon lines. We pressurize it up to 200lbs, we've had itsittin about 2 hours still at 200 so we know we've done the sauder joints don't have anyleaks.This is also going to help absorb any moisturethat may be in the air since we had it open while we were doing our brazing joints. We put nitrogen through while we were brazing,but this just is, is a safety check to make sure we have no leaks. Get a little, uh, moisture that may be inthe lines to help dry it out before we hook the vacuum pump up. Nitrogen doesn't hurt anything. It's not gonna effect the ozone, it's notgonna cause a fire or anything. We're just gonna let it go and it don't causeany harm to the system, don't cause any harm to the atmosphere, the environment or anything,so. And we basically protected us and protectedthe homeowner.We've insured that number one, our six jointsthat we saudered aren't leaking. That's insurance, we know that our system'sright. We know number two that we know that we'vecleaned the system properly, that it's been saudered and charged and the charge is gonnabe right. And number three is we get any extra moistureout of it. Is that correct? That's right. Alright..

The Cactus LV5 Laser Trigger utilizes an emitter and sensor that can be set up to trigger a camera or flash unit upon changes in the beam's signal. The sensor features an embedded 2.4 GHz Cactus V5 radio module that has 16 channels and a range of up to 328' as well as a standard 3.5mm shutter release port for making a physical connection to certain cameras. Also, the emitter and sensor can work with a large 492' distance between them for more elaborate setups.
The LV5 works either with Cactus V5 compatible transceivers or modules or by connecting directly to a compatible camera or flash unit with the included 3.5mm cord. It features Duo Mode Triggering for providing the option of triggering when either the transmission is blocked or when an object is removed from between the sensor and emitter. The device also supports flash sync speeds up to 1/1000 second and offers a variety of shutter delay and freeze settings for customizing your setup. You can set the trigger to single, continuous, and bulb shot modes in coordination with your camera and each device runs on either 2 or 4 AAA batteries.

Case IX: Chapter 5: Things Fall Apart
Chapter 5: Things Fall Apart
Conrad Alexander was visibly upset when he read about Doris Connell's death. He was aware that traffic fatalities were not uncommon in Albuquerque and the I-40 east of downtown was notoriously dangerous. But the newspaper indicated that the police were investigating the theory that her crash was not necessarily an accident; that it had actually been caused by a several motorcyclists. Alexander was not given to conspiracy theories, but he found it unsettling that her death occurred on the same day she had made serious allegations about Donald Pearsall and LRC Industries. Alexander needed more information.
Through his involvement in the community, Alexander had occasion to meet and work closely with the Police Commissioner, Gordon Manzanares. Alexander returned to his office and placed the call. "Gordo, it's Conrad Alexander. I hope I'm not interrupting any important police business. "
"Connie, it's good to hear from you. You know I'm just a City Bureaucrat and not much of a policeman anymore. How have you been?"
"I'm fine. Thanks for asking. I need to ask a favor. I'm calling about the woman who was killed in that traffic accident on I-40 last evening, Doris Connell. She works here at New Mexico Power & Light as has been a valuable employee for a long time. I wondered if you could tell me anything more about her accident than was reported in the papers."
"It was horrible business, Conrad. Apparently, she was run off the road and her car flipped over in the arroyo and then burst into flames. By the time the Fire Department arrived, the car was totally engulfed and there wasn't much they could do."
"The paper said that witnesses said that some motorcyclists were involved somehow."
"That's the really disturbing part. I typically don't get involved in day-to-day operations, but this one is of particular interest. My Detectives are still trying to piece the witnesses' statements together, but I believe they will conclude what I already suspect. This incident has all the markings of the La Raza Cosmica motorcycle gang."
"I picked up some Spanish while I worked in the field years ago, but did I hear you correctly? This gang calls themselves The Cosmic Race?"
"Yeah, and they are a particularly nasty and violent bunch. Unlike most gangs that are comprised of similar types, like The Black Panthers or Aryan Brotherhood, La Raza Cosmica believes that a greater ethnic diversity makes them more powerful. As best we can tell, the gang is made up of trouble-makers and misfits of all sizes, shapes, colors, etc. from around the entire State. The leader calls himself John Smith. They are believed to have been involved in a series of crimes and we've tried, unsuccessfully, for years to arrest and convict them. A few years ago, we thought we could tie them to a string of burglaries involving copper wire and electronics from construction sites, but there was never sufficient evidence. It seemed like all the potential eye-witnesses suddenly couldn't remember anything. We assumed they were being intimidated, but got nowhere. What's confusing about this latest incident is that there seems to be no connection to the woman who was killed. You say she worked for you guys?"
"That's right and I am also at a loss to explain any connection. Not meaning to sound unkind, but Mrs. Connell was just an ordinary woman who worked in our Accounting Department. It just doesn't make any sense to me that she would have any involvement with a gang of any sort, particularly one this criminal. Anyway, thanks for the information. If your Detectives need anything from our Personnel Department, please ask them to contact me directly."
"Thanks, Connie. Take care."
In an uncharacteristic move, Alexander walked down the hall and confronted Donald Pearsall in his office. "Don, I need to ask you again about this LRC Industries outfit. Our Accounting folks have noticed some irregularities in their invoices. Since you are the one signing them, perhaps you could tell me what the Administrative Fee line item is."
"What's going on, Conrad? You just can't come barging into my office and start making accusations."
"Sorry, I guess I'm upset over the death of Doris Connell."
"Well, maybe it was just another case of someone drinking too much at some local bar's Happy Hour and losing control of their car. It happens almost every day."
"Don, that was a very unkind thing to say. The paper says that some guys on motorcycles caused her to lose control."
"Well, you know you can't really trust the newspaper to get things right."
"I still want to ask you about LRC Industries and what's really going on with them."
"I told you before, Conrad, I use them to help out in a lot of places. It's really no concern of yours."
"There also seems to be an issue with the money and where it ends up. Can you explain how it seems to be connected with your personal expenses?"
"That's nonsense. If someone told you that, they are totally mistaken. My guess is that one of those cretins in Accounting got things screwed up, which would not be the first time. Look, Conrad, there is really nothing for you to get upset about. I assure you, everything is on the up-and-up. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a meeting to go to."
With that, Pearsall left his office leaving Alexander standing there, totally frustrated. Pearsall had been able to deflect his questions and shift the focus and blame to others, a tactic he used frequently. Alexander decided that the least he could do was to mention his concerns to Graham Wright and headed for his office.
By the time he reached Wright's office, he had calmed down a bit and decided to be a bit more tactful in his comments. Instead of directly accusing Pearsall, Alexander simply summarized the apparent irregularities surrounding LRC Industries and their apparent involvement in the failures at the demonstration projects. He tried to imply that there was sabotage without specifically using that word. He also questioned a potential connection to Pearsall. Wright said he understood Alexander's concerns and would appreciate any additional information as it became available.
Conrad Alexander remained at a loss. The death of Doris Connell was upsetting enough, but he was still struggling to comprehend the things she had told him about Don Pearsall. And Pearsall's behavior had done nothing to ease Alexander's mind. It felt like random pieces of both events were circulating in his mind, but he was unable to make any sense of things. He had another relatively unproductive day and decided to go home a bit early. As he drove, he tried to forget all about New Mexico Power & Light and the recent events that troubled him. He wanted to focus on his wife, Mary, who had been to the doctor that afternoon and he was eager to hear what she had learned. But, he was unable to push the thoughts of Doris Connell, LRC Industries and Donald Pearsall from his mind. Suddenly, he realized he was drifting into the next lane and a large Dodge pick-up had to swerve to avoid hitting him. The driver laid on his horn and cursed loudly. Alexander was startled and snapped back to awareness. At that moment, all the pieces came together. What if LRC Industries was really the gang La Raza Cosmica? And, what if Pearsall was using them to disrupt the new technology demonstration projects? That would certainly fit with Pearsall's long-time opposition to this initiative. Suppose Mrs. Connell had discovered that a portion of the LRC invoice was actually a pay-off to Pearsall? In Alexander's mind, all these pieces fit together and seemed to explain a great deal, perhaps even Mrs. Connell's death. Despite the apparent logic of this, Alexander resisted the inevitable conclusion; it sounded too much like some far-fetched conspiracy theory. But, there seemed to be no other explanation.
These thoughts were still racing around in his mind as he reached home. When he entered the house, he called out but there was no response. He found Mary sitting in a large over-stuffed chair in the Study with a cup of tea resting in her lap. From the look on her face, he knew that her Doctor had not given her encouraging news. He sat in a chair near her, took her hands in his and asked, "What did Doctor Collins have to say, Mary?"
She tried, but was unable to hold back her tears. "The cancer has returned and she says it has spread. And, everything was looking so positive. She said that surgery was no longer an option and she couldn't recommend further radiation or chemo treatments."
"I'm so sorry to hear that. Did she give you any sense of a prognosis?"
"That's the worst part. She said that the cancer seems to have become more aggressive and the outlook was pretty dim."
"Oh, Connie, I had to really push her, but eventually she told me that I only had a few weeks to live, maybe two months at best." With this, Mary Alexander threw her arms around her husband and sobbed uncontrollably.
After a very restless night, Conrad Alexander decided that he would go to Mary's doctor and hear the prognosis for himself. Although he did not have an appointment, the Receptionist ignored the full waiting room and quickly made time for him. Doctor Anne Collins appeared from one of the examination rooms and ushered Alexander into her office.
"Doctor Collins, I appreciate your taking time to see me. Mary told me about her visit with you yesterday and I just wanted to hear her prognosis for myself."
Dr. Anne Collins looked directly at Conrad Alexander and the expression on her face told him that he was going to hear more bad news. "Mr. Alexander, I'm glad you came in. The prognosis for Mary is not good. We thought that surgery had removed all of the tumors and that the subsequent radiation treatment had eradicated any questionable areas. To be quite honest, I was shocked to see that her cancer had returned and had become even more aggressive and spread. I was trying to be optimistic when I told her that she had perhaps a couple of months, but I doubt she will last that long. I'm very sorry."
"Well, Dr. Collins, I appreciate your honesty. At least we know what we're dealing with and can plan accordingly. Do you think she would be better off in a hospital?"
"No. In my opinion, that would only be a waste of money. I can give you the names of several very good organizations to provide hospice care in your home. I believe that would be the best for her."
"Thank you, Doctor. I agree. I'm sure Mary would prefer to remain at home."
As Alexander rose to leave, Dr. Collins reached for a file on her desk and motioned for him to sit down. "I have to apologize for this and I know this is most inappropriate, but there is more bad news and it concerns you, not Mary."
"Remember, a few weeks ago, we ran a series of tests on you, including a comprehensive series of MRIs on your intestines and digestive system? It seems as though the results got "lost" somewhere in the new computerized record-keeping system we were installing. That's no excuse for what happened and any apologies would be totally meaningless. I won't insult you with a bunch of medical double-speak. The short version is that the scans revealed extensive cancer throughout your colon and lower intestines. I'm sorry. The delay in discovering this situation and initiating treatment makes your prognosis less optimistic."
Conrad Alexander sat quietly in the chair for a few moments gathering his thoughts. "Dr. Collins," he said finally, "I would appreciate it if you kept this new information to yourself, at least for a while. It is very important to me that I focus on Mary and do everything in my power to make her remaining time as pleasant as possible. I do not want her to be distracted with any concerns other than her own well-being. Can I count on you to do that?"
"But, Mr. Alexander, the sooner we begin treating you, the better chance we have of beating this."
"I understand completely, Doctor, but this is really my decision, isn't it?"
"It is against my best medical judgement, Mr. Alexander, but you are correct. It is your decision."
"OK, as long as we have an understanding. I will take your recommendations and arrange for hospice for Mary. Personally, I will go on with my life as if we never had this conversation. There are more important things to focus on than my own issues."
Over the next few days, Conrad Alexander made arrangements for the necessary level of hospice for Mary. He also had a brief conversation with Graham Wright during which he asked for Wright's indulgence while he spent as much time as possible with Mary. As expected, Wright was sympathetic and understanding.
Mary Alexander's condition deteriorated quickly and she died within the month. A short time after the funeral, Alexander returned to Dr. Collins to discuss his own future. "We ran an additional battery of tests and your condition has worsened to a greater extent than I would have expected. We could begin an extensive regimen of radiation and chemo-therapy and hope for the best outcome. But I would be less than honest with you if I told you that there were any significant prospects for improvement. And it would put you through a considerable amount of pain and discomfort. As an engineer, I'm sure you understand the concept of Risk versus Reward. In your particular case, I cannot say that there is much of a potential reward, regardless of how aggressively we try to treat you."
"I guess I had a slim hope that the prognosis would be better, but I appreciate your honesty. I ask you once again to keep this conversation confidential. There are some issues I need to address and a discussion of my illness would be a distraction."
It wasn't until that evening, when Alexander was alone at home, that the reality of everything hit him. He had lost his wife, the love of his life. The Doctor had just given him his own death sentence. And his entire life's work at New Mexico Power & Light was being destroyed from within. For the first time in his life, he felt as though his entire life was falling apart.
