iTunes UK adds movie purchases and (48 hour) rentals
June 4th, 2008 | Posted in Net TV | No Comments
Six months after their U.S. debut, Apple has finally made movies rentals, along with purchases, available to iTunes customers in the UK.
On the plus side, new film releases for purchase will be offered the same day as their DVD release and, in a near industry-first, the viewing window for rentals has been extended to 48 hours (from 24), whereby customers have up to 30 days to start watching a rented download, and once the movie starts they have two days to finish it or watch it multiple times. As we wrote in our earlier analysis of Apple's U.S. iTunes movie offering (Content, pricing and convenience. How do movie rentals on iTunes fare?), a 24 hour limit "makes it impossible to split a film over two nights, a requirement that is more common than you'd think, especially for those with kids".
The range of content isn't too bad and now that things have kicked off, should steadily improve. As of today, 700 movies are available in standard definition from major film studios including 20th Century Fox, The Walt Disney Studios, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros., MGM, and Sony Pictures, with around 100 HD titles for rental via the the company's set-top box AppleTV. However, on the downside, pricing is off-puttingly high, especially for purchases — £6.99 for back catalog titles and £10.99 for new releases. While rentals are £2.49 for older films and £3.49 for new releases, with high definition versions costing a pound more.
Update: Canada also gets its iTunes movie fix today, with 1,200 films available for rent or purchase (see press release).

We moved to the Sevillian town of Carmona to give life to a fascinating private party. For this, we transform a private garden into an authentic Andalusian patio.
The recreation of the Sevillian fair was the highlight of the party, which was preceded by an intimate dinner, and crowned by a bucolic meal among olive trees in the Andalusian style.


A brace from David McGoldrick earned Ipswich their first Sky Bet Championship win in four matches with a 3-1 victory against shot-shy Middlesbrough.
Boro took the lead through Albert Adomah's expert scissor-kick but Tony Mowbray's men were largely toothless in attack.
And while Ipswich equalised from out of nothing, McGoldrick turning Dean Whitehead and then firing in from 25 yards, the home side controlled the second half - and the goals deservedly followed.
Luke Chambers met fellow full-back Aaron Cresswell's deep cross to put Town in the lead before man-of-the-match McGoldrick raced clear to claim the points.
After a tight start, the visitors opened the scoring with the first meaningful shot of the match.
Ipswich initially cleared Jacob Butterfield's corner but it was sent back into the danger zone by Grant Leadbitter's powerful header and Adomah spectacular volleyed the ball past the exposed Dean Gerken.
It was Adomah's first goal since his B#1million switch from Bristol City but his finish was out of keeping with a dour opening half an hour.
The best moment from the out-of-sorts home side came when Paul Anderson burst into the box but Jason Steele was equal to his effort.
Then, once again out of nothing, the hosts finally produced a moment of quality.
It was all of McGoldrick's own making as he turned Whitehead before firing an unstoppable shot beyond the despairing dive of Jason Steele.
Town almost grabbed the lead within a minute of the restart. Boro looked to have cleared the danger from McGoldrick but Frazer Richardson's pass out was seized upon by Ryan Tunnicliffe whose fierce drive from distance was well parried by Steele.
But Steele could do nothing as Ipswich took the lead for the first time on 57 minutes.
Great work on the left-hand side from Tunnicliffe and Cresswell saw the latter's deep cross headed back across goal and into the far corner by Chambers.
The visitors were again guilty of some half-hearted defending as Richardson gave the ball away to Tunnicliffe but his team mates eventually came to his rescue, deflecting McGoldrick's goalbound shot away.
The Town number 10 remained the most dangerous man on the pitch and he almost scored an early contender for goal of the season when his 30-yard shot curled just wide.
As the game opened up, the home side should have made the points safe when Murphy streaked down the left but his centre was horribly miscued by Luke Hyam, 12 yards from goal and clear of any defenders.
But it mattered not as McGoldrick burst clear of Jonathan Woodgate in injury time and rolled the ball beyond Steele and into the far corner.

The Metabaron Book 1: The Techno-Admiral & The Anti-Baron – Alexandro Jodorowsky / Jerry Frissen
Heavy-handed and brutal as usual, but these are defining elements of the Metabaron world, and of Jodorowsky's narrative style when penning stories in such worlds. But: the wealth of ideas, and sense of symbolism – of these one-dimensional figures acting as stand-ins for concepts, or for whole 'cycles' of emotion lumped under one pontificating characterization – has, for years, enriched Jodo's universes immensely, and also, thankfully, making them fascinating to dive in to, a story at a time.
Here I am talking about Jodorowsky, but it's writer Jerry Frissen scripting Book 1 of The Metabaron's adventures, over plot from Alexandro, perfectly emulating Jodo's style, and perhaps even curtailing some of the latter's tendencies to include oddball tangents in much of his work. The Techno-Admiral & The Anti-Baron is laser-focused: a hulking monstrosity of a man, Wilhelm-100, has taken the title of Techno-Admiral and possession of a precious resource-providing planet, Marmola. This is also the Metabaron's home planet, and he's not keen on the Techno-Pope who's directing this resource-stripping, necessitating his return, further necessitating Wilhelm-100 to come up with an ultimate weapon for combating the Baron: The Anti-Baron, duh.
The story starts at the end and then rewinds rather illogically, with a dead character narrating; this is also a tactic that generally undermines momentum, and the same is rather true here. At least to start. Wilhelm is such a wonderfully typically waaay over-the-top-evil Jodo villain that you're easily swept up in his vile machinations, and thereafter, the story is kept in pretty high gear covering the creation of the Anti-Baron and the eventual dual-Baron clash. We're also – also typically – lacking a strong female character, with those included pretty much always sex slaves and / or victims. But at least we don't dawdle on that: we are very centered around these two massive slabs of man-meat: Wilhelm and The Metabaron.
Humanoids' over-sized hardcover printing is perfect for Valentin Secher's painted art; the darker color palette would look mushed in a regular format, but with the extra space, we can see Secher's skilled touch with emotional tics and better appreciate the ace flow of the pages. The English translation (Quinn and Katia Donoghue, Cristy Stiles) is also excellent, or at least their are no notable oddities.
And as we are yet to arrive at the conclusion shown to us in the first few pages, there are undoubtedly more Metabaron battles to come in future volumes…

La battaglia di Mahiwa fu l'ultima grande battaglia combattuta nell'ambito della campagna in Africa Orientale durante la prima guerra mondiale. Ebbe luogo tra il 17 ed il 18 ottobre 1917, e si risolse in una vittoria tedesca.

Antefatto
Alla fine di settembre 1917, il comandante delle truppe tedesche, generale Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck, si stava ritirando con le sue truppe a sud-est di Nyangao, località dove alcune settimane prima si erano svolti dei combattimenti. L'ufficiale tedesco si stava dirigendo in direzione della località di Mahiwa, per cercare di mettere in salvo la maggior parte delle sue forze. Nel tentativo di impedire la ritirata del contingente tedesco, forte di circa 3.000 uomini, il 24 settembre il generale inglese Gordon Beves ordinò alla brigata anglo-nigeriana di inseguire le truppe nemiche. La colonna inglese, comandata dal brigadier generale Henry de Courcy O'Grady e dal colonnello Harry Christofer Tytler, forte di 5.000 soldati, si mise in marcia.

La battaglia
L'inseguimento di Beves terminò il 17 ottobre. La colonna anglo-nigeriana attaccò i tedeschi sulla destra. Lo scontro fu piuttosto duro, e proseguì anche durante la notte. Il giorno 18, i combattimenti si intensificarono. Inizialmente, sembrò che l'azione inglese potesse avere successo, ma le truppe alleate furono successivamente respinte da una serie di contrattacchi. Lettow-Vorbeck aveva fortificato una cresta montuosa, e vi aveva schierato a difesa circa 1.500 uomini, con due cannoni da campo. La brigata anglo-nigeriana effettuò due assalti, fino a quando, per le perdite elevate, Beves ordinò ad O'Grady di interrompere l'azione. Gli inglesi persero 2.348 uomini, di cui 528 nigeriani, oltre ad ulteriori 350 portatori. Le perdite tedesche ammontarono a poco più di 500 soldati.

Epilogo
Lettow-Vorbeck dichiarò di aver riportato una splendida vittoria. Tuttavia, nonostante questo, il comandante tedesco ritenne che le sue truppe fossero troppo inferiori di numero per sostenere nuovi scontri, e quindi abbandonò il campo di battaglia, continuando la ritirata.

Enrollment Numbers Put Obamacare Battle To Rest?
Published April 4, 2014 at 12:08 PM EDT
This is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. I'm Michel Martin. Now it's time for our political chat. This week there's a lot to talk about. The Supreme Court struck down some campaign contribution limits. The White House beat it's a goal of 7 million Americans signed up for coverage through the Affordable Care Act, and Republican Congressman Paul Ryan debuted his own budget proposal, something that could be a blueprint for a White House run in 2016. So joining us to help us unpack those political headlights is Corey Dade.
He is a contributing editor for The Root. That's an online publication that focuses on issues of particular interest to African Americans. And he writes their political blog, "The Take." Welcome back, Corey Dade.
COREY DADE: Hi, Michel.
MARTIN: Also with us, Lenny McAllister - he is a contributor to 4802: Final Friday. That's the news roundtable on WQED in Pittsburgh. He's also a Republican strategist and a once, and probably future, Republican candidate. Lenny, welcome back to you, as well.
LENNY MCALLISTER: Thanks for having me, Michel.
MARTIN: And I want to start with campaign finance in McCutcheon versus the Federal Election Commission. The Supreme Court struck down limits on how much money an individual can donate to political candidates. It was a 5 to 4 vote, and the prevailing majority said that the limits violate free speech rights.
Lenny, I am interested in your perspective on this, particularly as a person who's run for office yourself. The Republican leadership seems very excited about this, the Republican National Committee chair applauding the decision, among other sort of top Republican leaders. I was interested in how you see it.
MCALLISTER: I'm not excited about it. I wasn't excited about Citizens United, in 2010, either. I think that if you look at it from a grassroots, everyday American perspective, this only exemplifies why people are fearful of politics and big politics. And why many people are apathetic towards politics because basically what we're saying is that although we talk about the land of the free and the home of the brave, it really is about who has the gold.
I mean, truth of the matter is, what we found out over the last couple years, is that corporations are people. And now money is speech which means that anybody who is part of a corporation and/or has the money is now more of a citizen than other citizens that don't have those same economic privileges. And that's really all this is. This is just an aspect of capitalism, not an aspect of the American fabric. I think it's a very bad decision, and I look forward to the day where money does not play as much of a role in American politics as it does right now.
MARTIN: But let me just ask you this, though. Why, then, is the leadership of your party so - seem to be so supportive of this, you know, point of view?
MCALLISTER: I wish I can answer that question as full as it probably needs to be answered. I mean, it pretty much is along the same vein of why does my party still have a hard time talking to minorities? Why does my party still have a hard time winning votes in urban environments? Why does my party still look to only win red areas and wonder why they can't win a White House over the last several years? It's pretty much along the same vein.
I would think, unfortunately - I would think, to be honest with you, Michel, that they would look at this and say that there is good and bad about this decision. But truth of the matter is, they realize that they can't win in some of these areas. So they're going to have to outspend in some of these areas in order to soften the blow in regards to the bad Republican brand that's been out there. And I think, unfortunately, again that this is the wrong approach to turning around the political dynamic that we face as Republicans.
MARTIN: OK. Well, Corey Dade, let's take the other side of that question, though. I mean, the Democrats have been - generally, the Democratic leadership has been very critical of this decision.
On the other hand, I mean, the conventional wisdom has been that big money in politics mostly benefits Republicans. But other people would look at the results of the 2012 election. Present Obama both won the money race and election. So why, then, are the Democrats so uniformly negative about this?
DADE: Michel, because about 57 percent of this money goes toward Republican candidates and Republican causes, and that leaves the rest going to Democrats. So Democratic causes and Democratic candidates are going to lose out.
The reason why the Republican Party is excited about this is because this allows the party and their committees and candidates to actually go into the pockets of donors more deeply than before.
MARTIN: Well, doesn't it - it also allows Democrats to do the same thing, doesn't it?
DADE: Right. But I'm just answering the specific question why the Republican Party is excited about. For both parties, it allows them to actually sort of try to get some of that money back that's been going toward the Independent outside groups.
And so they look at it as an opportunity to actually put together more money that they can actually leverage into state committees at the state level, but also to try to beat back some of the ad wars that the Independent groups have been hitting candidates with on each side.
MARTIN: And so they feel that it's an opportunity for them to impose more party discipline? Is that it?
DADE: I wouldn't say party discipline. I think it's an idea that - it allows the parties to actually take more control of their messaging away from the outside groups.
MARTIN: OK. Well, let's turn to another dramatic moment in national politics. And if you're just joining us, we're having our weekly political chat with Corey Dade of The Root and Republican strategist and commentator Lenny McAllister.
Let's - the White House says it beat its goal for sign ups to the Affordable Care Act. This is the President Obama at a Rose Garden press conference. This is the day after the open enrollment deadline.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVAL RECORDING)
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Despite several lost weeks out of the gate because of problems with the website, 7.1 million Americans have now signed up for private insurance plans through these marketplaces.
MARTIN: So you were saying, Corey, you were telling us earlier that this is - for the president who is known for his cool and his emotional reserve, this is the equivalent of spiking the ball and dancing in the end zone. So tell us about that.
DADE: Yeah. It's about, you know, the White House - when you talk to people who have been in the White House and who have left, you know, what they will say is that, you know, given the legislative victories that Obama has had over the years, one thing that they've always kind of been frustrated about is that number one, Obama is not someone who celebrates a lot. But number two, every time they have a victory, there's some big calamity that comes right after - the BP oil spill or something like that.
So this is one of the few times that he was able to actually go out and sort of wave the flag of victory quote-unquote. But, you know, this was really, more than anything, a political message to Democrats. This was an effort on his part to tell his party stop being a punk, basically. Step up. This is a victory. Now you guys can run on this. Defend this law. This law is the law of the land now. We hit our mark.
Now if you want to keep the Senate - if we want to keep the Senate, you all have to defend this law. And what you're trying - what you're seeing is in certain heavily contested races, like the Senate race in North Carolina and elsewhere, Democratic candidates are now cutting ads that are more aggressive in defending the health care law.
MARTIN: Lenny McAllister, what do you think about that? Does this mean that the battle over Obamacare will be over? That Republicans - are there prepared to concede?
MCALLISTER: No. And I was surprised that President Obama didn't go into the White House basement and go get George W. Bush's mission accomplished banner and put it up in the Rose Garden.
MARTIN: Because you think it has about the same meaning? Is that what you're saying?
MCALLISTER: Yeah. And on top of that, I mean, you're still looking at rising premiums. You're still talking about upwards of 20 percent that have not paid a premium yet. So let's say 10 percent of those people don't pay a premium, and they drop out. You're not at 7 million anymore. You still don't have the invincibles that you need signing up with the clips that you need them to sign up to make this buoyant.
There's still plenty of administrative problems. So to sit there and claim an artificial number, and say we hit our mark, this is going to work - hey, Democrats, go out there and run on this law that is still extremely unpopular, that was passed in a very partisan way and you're vulnerable for the next two years or six-year term over this - it's very, very unrealistic. This is exactly what President Obama does - he has a tendency to throw other Democrats underneath the bus.
He did it in 2010, right after they lost the midterms. They threw them right underneath the bus during a lame-duck session, he's in the process of doing it again. And if Democrats want to defend Obamacare and try to defend this economy, the Republicans will control the Senate and the House of Representatives starting in January.
MARTIN: All right, well, let's try to get one other issue in here, which is Republican Congressman Paul Ryan released his budget plan this week. It includes a repeal of the Affordable Care Act, it cuts a number of domestic programs. Because the 2015 spending levels have already been set, some observers say Ryan's budget is actually a political statement more than a real spending plan. But the question is, is this something that - Lenny - Republicans can run on in 2014?
MCALLISTER: They can run to their base with this, but if you're talking about the types of initiatives that they claim to talk about as far as getting people out of poverty, talking to minorities, trying to reclaim some of the vulnerable suburban and even urban constituencies, they're going to have to put policies into place - tax policies, spending policies, budget policies -that show working class Americans that have been struggling in this economy how to bring prosperity back to their communities. And this budget plan does not do that as well as it needs to do that.
MARTIN: Lenny - I'm sorry - Corey, final thought from you. President Obama has been on the road making a case for raising the federal minimum wage. Other people are saying the same thing about that - that they're saying about the Ryan budget, which is that this is probably a nonstarter in this Congress. So that's more of a political statement, you know, as well, but something for Democrats to run on. What's your perspective on that?
DADE: I think it is absolutely a political effort on the part of Obama. You know, the Democrats are looking for - their biggest issue, as Lenny mentioned, their biggest issue isn't so much Obamacare, it's the economy. And Obama's approval ratings aren't so much hurting simply due to Obamacare, but the economy. So the minimum wage argument is an effort to sort of try to turn that around for the party.
But it is a nonstarter in the House even though politically it plays well across the board - Republicans, Democrats, independents, everyone - the majority of Americans are behind the rise of the minimum wage. What they're hoping is that messaging gets people out, but really, you know, in a midterm and other elections, the main thing that gets people out is anger. And the Democrats aren't selling anger right now.
MARTIN: Well, tell me a little bit more - and we have about a minute left - I want to give you the last word here about Lenny's point of view on the Ryan budget - do you take the similar view of it? What is your perspective on it?
DADE: Well, I do think the Ryan budget is really a political manifesto for the conservatives. This budget will not play in heavily contested states where you need sort of a moderate view. I think it has enough in there that Democrats will try to use to pick apart - for example, the idea of privatizing part of Medicare for people who are 55 years and older - that is red meat to Democrats.
MARTIN: OK. Corey Dade is a contributing editor for The Root, he's author of their politics blog "The Take." He joined us here in our Washington, D.C. studios. Joining us from member station WESA in Pittsburgh is Lenny McAllister. He is a Republican strategist and contributor to the news roundtable 4802: Final Friday. That's on WQED in Pittsburgh. Thank you both so much for speaking with us.
DADE: Thank you, Michel.

My Pride Story
Global Operations Engagement and Guest Experience Specialist Hermann Schurig
"White & Case has always accepted me for the way I am"
June 2022: Hermann Schurig is a Global Operations Engagement and Guest Experience Specialist in our London office. As part of our #Pride2022 celebrations, he has shared his own #MyPrideStory with us.
I always feel safe and comfortable in the LGBTQ+ community
Immediate access to open-minded soulmates allows me to meet great people around the world, some of whom I can proudly call my friends today. The world is my home.
It is absolutely essential to me that I can be my authentic self at work
White & Case has always accepted me for the way I am, in good and in challenging times, always embracing my strengths and working with me to become a better version of myself.
Allies, be supportive and understanding
A good start would be simply an invitation to a coffee—especially to young or new joiners. Empathy and care is key to building a strong community.
I've always lived an open-minded life
This has served me well in a firm like White & Case where people are the focus, supported by our Firm values of being pioneering, united and human.
White & Case's actions to support LGBTQ+ people matter to our clients
And to our vendors, family and friends too. As an international Firm, we are committed to creating a collaborative and respectful environment for all our people and those we work with. It's important to show our support and unconditional commitment.
I feel a personal responsibility to live by example
I want to show everyone that it's OK to be out, loud and (in my case) even prouder to have such a strong partner as White & Case on my side. In my global role, I speak with many people across the network and all regions, which provides me with a big platform to be heard and have access to a lot of people.
I'm looking forward to the Spectrum Pride celebrations
This year, I'm going to join, for the first time, a work event during Pride—I'm looking forward to spending some time with my lovely Spectrum colleagues and celebrating a carefree life, love and respect.

On the Campus Students Gather on Steps of Nassau Hall to Protest Trump
By Spencer Parts '17, Nathan Phan '19
Published online November 10, 2016
Students carried signs near FitzRandolph Gate on Tuesday night during a protest against President-elect Donald Trump.

About 200 students gathered at Nassau Hall Nov. 9 to protest President-elect Donald Trump, chanting "Love trumps hate" and "Trump has got to go" and listening to speakers voice concern about his views on women, minorities, and immigrants. The group then marched through campus in the rain and gathered under an archway outside Dillon Gym.
"There's a general feeling of sadness," said Joshua Faires '19, whose parents immigrated to the United States from Colombia. "I've never seen so many sorrowful faces on campus."
One student held a sign that read: "Brown and Proud." Another held a sign that read: "Princeton Against Trump." One sign has a single word: "Why?"
Some students said they attended the protest because it was important to speak out after an election that had personally shaken them.
A graduate student told the crowd that Trump's election made her feel like she wouldn't be respected professionally. "Ladies, we're more than our bodies," she said.
McKenna Judge '20 said she thought she would be taken less seriously as a woman in a STEM field under a Trump presidency. "I feel threatened and I feel overwhelmed," she said. "I think that we have to do something about it, because it's not going to change if we're just complacent."
Jorge Torres, an organizer with a New Jersey immigrant-rights group, planned the protest along with leaders of student groups. "This is something that we didn't believe was going to happen, but it happened," Torres said. "It's time to organize in our schools and our communities."
As the protest was taking place, about 40 students, faculty, and others met in Murray-Dodge Hall to seek out community in a time of divisiveness and to "stand with those who are most vulnerable, oppressed, targeted, and rejected."
Theresa Thames, associate dean of religious life, said the purpose of the gathering was not to seek solutions, but to provide an opportunity to be vulnerable and to freely express feelings of anger and confusion.

Attendees shared their fears for marginalized groups and called for empathy for others. One student described the uncertainty and questions about safety facing immigrant families.
"I feel horrified about the results of the election," said Jessica Sarriot GS. "I think this [discussion] is an important space to grieve and gather enough strength to start organizing."
The Fields Center, Women's Center, LGBT Center, and Davis International Center also scheduled times for students, faculty, and staff to meet as a University community in the days following the election.

After a long drive down to Ilfracombe, my wife Britta and I finally reached the hotel. On arrival, we checked in and meet up with Rachel who showed us around the hotel. It wasn't long before we found ourselves sat in the hotel bar sipping on a few drinks waiting for the rest of the dive team to turn up.
A few hours past and the rest of the team arrived so we all went out for some nice fish and chips. Looking back, it probably wasn't the best meal to have before bed.
Day 1. The morning started off with us all meeting up for breakfast before packing up the van and making our way down to the jetty. On arrival, we all made up our equipment and made our way down to the boat.
All loaded and ready to go we made the 1hr 20min trip over to Lundy. The Skipper very kindly took Britta and Tracey (Sam's mum) to Lundy before we started diving. Once Britta and Tracey had disembarked we made our way to the first dive site known as the Knoll panicles. Here we could see different corals, jewel anemones, pink sea fans, sponges, star fish, and a cheeky little seal that loved to pull on our fins as we tried to explore this amazing dive site.
After a few drinks for coffee and hot chocolate we made our way to the 2nd dive site. Here if you were lucky enough, got to see and play with the abundance of seals. They are a very inquisitive and love to bit at shiny things and also like to play with your fins. Once the diving came to a finish we made our way back to the Lundy jetty to pick up the two wondering travellers who by all accounts had a fantastic time. The day of diving and excitement was coming to a close, we had been traveling back for around 40mins and all of a sudden, the skipper slowed the boat down to a gentile speed and said to us all "Dolphins" to which everybody got excited and started scrambling for the cameras and luckily the Dolphins wanted to play, giving us all enough time to get some really good videos and pictures.
The time had come for us to get back to Ilfracombe, we were allowed to leave our kit on the boat so the only thing needing to come off was the cylinders. Day 1 over we made our way back to the hotel for a nice rest before dinner.
Day 2: Once again, we all meet up for breakfast before making our way down to the jetty. With the skipper waiting we unloaded the van of cylinders and made our way down to the boat. All loaded we are off to Lundy for day 2 of diving.
Dive 1: We arrived at the dive site and before we knew it were greeted by seals. This time we all got to see seals swimming around and wanting to play.
Dive 2: After having yet another amazing dive with seals we all had coffee and hot chocolate before moving to the last and final dive site of the trip. As the Skipper explains the dive site to us, he also tells of how people come from all over the world to dive Lundy's Kelp fields.
Once in and diving, it became very obvious why people love this area. Seals would come from behind the Kelp as if to play hid and seek, just fantastic! Dive finished its back to the boat for our final trip back to Ilfracombe.
An exciting and amazing trip had by all.

Chatham Town 3-2 Corinthian - When you come up a little bit short it's hard to take and it will take a while to get over, admits Corinthian manager Michael Golding
Chatham Town 3 – 2 Corinthian
Longmead Stadium, Darenth Avenue, Tonbridge, Kent TN10 3JF
CHATHAM TOWN 3-2 CORINTHIAN
Southern Counties East Football League Challenge Cup Final
Saturday 4 May 2019
Stephen McCartney reports from Longmead Stadium
CORINTHIAN manager Michael Golding says it will take him a little while to get over finishing the clubs best ever campaign empty handed.
The Longfield based club finished on 90 points from their 38 league outings but they finished runners-up to Cray Valley (Paper Mills) by just one point in an exciting Southern Counties East Football League Premier Division title race.

Corinthian threw away a 2-0 lead inside the opening 39 minutes, as fourth-placed finishers Chatham Town – whom finished 11 points adrift of their opponents – added the Challenge Cup to the Kent Senior Trophy that they put in the trophy cabinet after beating Beckenham Town 1-0 after extra-time on 14 April 2019.
Corinthian – who were runners up in three successive finals in 2012, 2013 and 2014 – were worthy of their 2-0 lead at Longmead Stadium, as holding midfielder Jamie Billings scored his seventh goal of the season before winger Conor Johnson notched his 12th goal.
But Chatham Town striker Paul Vines hooked in his 43rd goal of the season right on the stroke of half-time before they dominated most of the second half.
Michael Hagan slotted in an equaliser against his old club to bring Chatham Town level, scoring his 12th goal of the season.
Chatham Town centre-half Richard Avery tapped in his sixth goal of the season to give his side a cup double.
"A game of two halves," admitted Golding.
"I thought we were outstanding in the first half, bitterly disappointed to concede a goal on the stroke of half-time.
"Second half, Chatham were a lot better than us and they probably deserved it on the balance of that. I think the goal just before half-time was the killer.
"I think the last 10 days have been hard. I think maybe the confidence is low a little bit, which is probably understandable because a lot of these boys haven't been in this situation before to have to deal with that.
"But we've said to them they will have to learn from this and they are a relatively young squad as a whole and they have got to learn from this experience to go on and get to where they want to in their football careers."
Chatham Town manager James Collins said: "I thought it was a tight game actually. I can't remember a goalkeeper making a save in the game but cup finals are going to be like that but it was a great way to win it.
"I thought the first cup final would take some trumping but to win it that way and the way we fought back at 2-0 down was a really enjoyable day and I'm so pleased with everyone at the club. You've seen the supporters at the end and what it means to them. I said in my programme notes it's nice to feel like a hero for a day!"
Collins, who has now won five trophies as a manager, added: "I said to the players' before the game, hopefully Cray Valley will go on to win The FA Vase. I suppose Cray are proving it is realistic to win the Vase. It is possible to win all four I suppose but for how everyone's done this season we've taken two trophies out of the three that people feel are up for grabs.
"A lot of managers and a lot of players have put in a lot of hard work in this season and it's not easy to win things so we have to enjoy them."
On a windy day in Tonbridge, Chatham Town created the first opening following the first of ten corners put in by Matt Bodkin but Jack Billings cleared Avery's far post header off the line inside the opening nine minutes.
Corinthian's first opening came through route-one football just 51 seconds later.
Centre-half Jack Bath hit a ball over the top which bounced over the head of Luke Tanner and his marker Corey Walters-Wright and the ball dropped to Kameron Gyeabour, who smacked his right-footed half-volley high and wide from 25-yards.
"Kam came in today, he's been on the bench for a little while and he was lively," said Golding.
"He had the first opportunity but that wind was difficult in the first half, it was difficult throughout the whole game and it proved to have a vital say in the whole game."
Chatham Town created a better chance in the 14th minute when left-back Matt Parsons released Bodkin down the left and he ignored his team-mate who was making an overlapping run on the outside and Bodkin cut inside and stroked his right-footed harmlessly wide of the near post from 25-yards.
"The wind first half was horrendous, it dropped second half when we were kicking into it, or kicking against it. It was tough to get into a football game really because the wind played such a massive factor," said Collins.
"When I turned up, I was excited, especially when the rain came because I thought we could get the ball down and we can play a little bit and we could hurt them in the final third but it was a good move."
Chatham Town's central midfielder Reece Butler played the ball out to Hagan, who kept the ball in down the left touchline before he took a touch and whipped in a cross but Bodkin glanced his header across goal from six-yards before Corinthian cleared their lines.
Chatham Town missed a glorious chance to take the lead with 21 minutes and 20 seconds on the clock.
Hagan broke over the halfway line and swept over a pass out to Bodkin down the right wing and he released right-back Danny Grant on the overlap and he took a touch before whipping in a great cross towards the near post but winger Harrison Carnegie found a pocket of space at the near post to send his free-header over the crossbar from eight-yards out.
Collins said: "I thought Vinsey would've won it just in behind, I don't know if there was a call.
"I felt whoever wants to win this game will win it and I felt first half they looked like they wanted to win it and I thought the wind made a huge factor but we definitely played some decent football, which we're more than capable of but it's the other side of the game that we need to improve on."
Golding added: "We know what Chatham are going to be like, their front four are decent. I thought Michael Hagan was good again. He's an ex Corinthian boy and I thought he played well.
"They're going to get the ball out wide and they get crosses into the box and they attacked the ball quite well. I thought after that chance we probably limited them to not much at all really. A side of Chatham's quality, you expect them to have a few half-chances."
That miss proved costly for Chatham Town, meanwhile, as Corinthian opened the scoring with 22 minutes and 28 seconds on the clock.
Johnson rolled the ball in from the left wing and Jamie Billings cracked a right-footed drive towards goal from 20-yards. The ball looped off a pressing Walters-Wright and looped over keeper Dan Ellis and dropped into the back of the net.
Golding said: "Really pleased. I felt like it was coming. We were on top and we were finding good pockets in between their midfield and their defence and it was probably a bit of a collectors item from Jamie Billings, right-footed, outside the area and you don't see many of them!
"The deflection helped it on its way. It would've been interesting to see where it would've gone if it hadn't taken a deflection but in a cup final you'll take whatever comes."
Collins admitted: "Dan's got to save that and he's put his hand up and said 'he should've saved it!' but you're not going to hear me dig him out because he's been brilliant for us all season.
"He's an unbelievable person in the changing room, he's a great goalkeeper. It's just one of those things. He made a mistake but listen he's bailed us out enough times and I'm hoping we would bail him out because he's been a massive part for us this season."
Jack Evans shrugged off Jai McKinley before driving towards the Corinthian penalty area and he played the ball out to Carnegie down the left. He cut inside and played in a low cross into the box, which set up Hagan, but his shot took a deflection and went behind for a corner.
Bodkin swung in his second corner and Avery rose at the far post and steered his header across goal and watched the ball trickle behind for a Corinthian goal-kick.
Corinthian had one hand on the silverware after doubling their lead with 38 minutes and 29 seconds on the clock.
Jamie Billings started the move and played the ball into strong wide man Gyeabour and Oscar Housego, Tanner and Gyeabour all exchanged short passes in and around the Chatham penalty area. The ball was worked out to Jamie Billings on the right-hand side of the penalty area and he crossed low towards the far post for Johnson to stab the ball past Ellis to find the bottom left-hand corner from three-yards out.
Golding said; "Again, Conor hasn't played too much recently, he's been struggling with a bit of an illness. I thought he was good and stepped up today and the was really good for us.
"It was another good move. James broke between the lines and he's put it into an area that's asked a question and you go 2-0 up in a cup final where you're probably the underdogs and you're thinking everything's going alright at the moment."
Collins added: "I'm not too sure about that one! We ended up getting pinned in because of the wind and because they were winning first, second and third balls.
"I thought we made a couple of blocks and it seemed to pinball about a little bit in there but you never have the hindsight of looking at this again but I thought we might've been a little bit unlucky there but they kept the phase of play going and stuck it into an area and he's stuck it home."
Chatham Town left-back Parsons swept in a free-kick into the Corinthian penalty area and the ball came to Hagan, who sliced his left-footed volley wide of the near post from 16-yards.
Corinthian had a chance to increase their lead further when Gyeabour teed up Housego, who sliced his right-footed half-volley wide from 20-yards.
Golding said: "A bit of a half-chance. It kind of bounced off Kam and Oscar's had a swing at it. It's easy to say it now but it probably needed that third goal or not to concede, which is probably going to be the biggest difference.
"I thought we were good in the first half and we played some good stuff as well. We put the ball in the right area when we need to and we also passed though them in the first 35-40 minutes and I thought we were really good today."
The turning point came with 44 minutes and 26 seconds on the clock when Chatham Town started their comeback through talisman Vines.
Hagan released Bodkin, who raced down the left and easily got in behind Jack Holland to reach the by-line. He clipped in a lovely cross towards the centre of the six-yard box for Vines to hook his left-footed shot past Aiden Prall to score from eight-yards.
Collins said: "He's done that all season for us so I'm pleased that he scored in the final because he should've scored in the last one (skying a penalty over in the Kent Senior Trophy Final last month) and he deserved to.
"That was a massive goal, that was a real huge goal. If you get Michael Hagan, Matt Bodkin and Harrison Carnegie in and around their final third it will cause problems and it was a good break and it was a massive goal for us."
Golding added: "It's what he does! That's why he's the top scorer in the league!
"We spoke to the boys and we've got to keep him quiet. I don't remember him having too many opportunities other than that but that's why he's top scorer. He's had one proper chance and he's scored his goal.
"You're desperate to get to half-time at 2-0 up and I think the goal gives them that little bit of confidence.
"We're probably hoping and expecting to go in at 2-0 and all off a sudden it's 2-1 and they're attacking us. We've been camped in their half really in the first half and I think it was a story of things to come that we couldn't get out as quickly as we need to."
The equaliser set the tone for the rest of the game as Chatham Town were the dominant force.
They upped their tempo and created an opening when Parsons played the ball into Hagan, who floated in a cross from the left for Carnegie to sweep his shot straight at Prall from 15-yards.
Collins said: "We scored and our tails were up. That goal gave us a massive lift and even at 2-0 down I actually confident we could go on and win the game because the wind was playing such a massive factor.
"There was a bit of a spell and when you're sitting there you don't want it to go 3-0, so we had a little rally but I was happy with 2-1 at half-time."
Collins said: "I said it's fallen nicely for us in the sense that how do you beat a team that wants to win the game more than any other game that they wanted to win, purely with what's happened to them this season and how well they've done.
"Scoring that second goal gave them a decision to make in terms of do you go for the third and try to kill it off or do they sit in and try to soak up the pressure?
"We've got players that can score goals. We've got nothing to lose now. We have to get on the ball and try to create chances and I was pretty confident that we will score goals.
"We had to make sure if the ball isn't in their area or their half we had to be switched on defensively but you've got to remember at 2-1 down what decisions do you make as a manager? You've just lost the league on the last game of the season, 2-0 up in a cup final. I felt mentally we had the edge going into the second half."
Golding added: "That we needed to score! We fancied Chatham to score a goal with the wind. We know Dan Ellis kicks the ball a long way and Vinsey will win his headers so we had to be tight defensively and prove that we didn't and we weren't!
"But if we can carry on playing and we probably needed to play a little bit more because the wind was going to be the deciding factor. We needed to score another goal!"
Corinthian midfielder Housego swept a first time shot past the near post from 25-yards and Chatham Town went route-one to equalise following the resulting goal-kick, the goal timed at 10 minutes and 45 seconds on the clock.
Ellis launched a trademark big kick up field and Vines flicked the ball on straight down the middle of the pitch for Hagan to latch onto and slot his left-footed shot past a flat-footed Prall for the ball to nestle inside the bottom left-hand corner.
"I had a feeling for Michael Hagan and I said this to Michael about he's scored so many goals for us. He came on against Cray Valley and scored and we won 1-0 and he scored the winner in the last cup final and scored a goal to get us back in there," said Collins.
"I think he's better than what he thinks he is and he's better than what he believes he is. He's always had loads of ability and he needs to go and play for me regularly week-in-week-out.
"He knows what he has to do but it was a great finish. He's such a good finisher and where Michael plays we know we've got that player who can come in and create another striker."
Golding admitted: "Really, really disappointing for us, a really, really poor goal to concede!
"It was a catalogue of errors, It's probably where you're looking for a couple of people to step up, just to calm everybody down, take the sting out of the game and waste time like they did in the first half but you maybe need to do that. We say we need to learn stuff and maybe that's what we need to learn and do that bit of the game.
"If they open you up and a cross goes in and Vinsey scores at the back post with a header you accept it. For it to be a long ball and we miss a header and Michael Hagan runs through and it was a good finish from him."
Chatham Town were now on the front foot and Evans' free-kick was met by Avery's towering looping header at the far post which dropped into Prall's hands at the near post.
A shaky Prall was almost caught-out in the 62nd minute when Chatham's right-back Danny Grant smacked a clearance up field from 60-yards, which bounced over the keeper before drifting past the foot of the near post.
McKinlay played the ball up to substitute Steven Ita, who flicked the ball across the face of goal but Gyeabour lashed his shot over the crossbar from 20-yards.
Corinthian wasted a glorious chance to snatch the lead inside the final 20 minutes.
Housego played in a low cross from the right which wasn't cut out and substitute Ita had his moment. However, a poor touch inside the Chatham penalty area, when in space, wasted that opportunity but he did show composure to centre the ball back to Tanner, who twisted and turned his man before laying the ball off on the outside to Gyeabour, who hooked his right-footed drive straight at Ellis from 10-yards.
Golding said: "It was probably our only real chance of the second half, which if you're trying to win a cup final, you probably need to create a little bit more than that.
"I think Steve Ita done ok when he came on. He showed some good touches and probably didn't get into the game and maybe that's where our squad is at the moment.
"We were missing our two top goascorers through injury and it's not an excuse, it's just frustrations."
Collins added: "I think it was more of a half-chance. We're very good at defending our box, we do a lot of work on it. We concede goals when we don't pick up second balls or we're in possession of the ball. I thought we defended very well in the second half and limited them to very few chances."
Chatham Town claimed their deserved victory by scoring the winning goal, which was timed at 27 minutes and 25 seconds on the clock.
Corinthian switched off from Bodkin's fifth corner. He played it short to Vines, whose back-heel rolled the ball back to Bodkin, who drove in a low cross through a crowd of players. Evans' driven shot was blocked in a congested goal-mouth and Avery forced the ball into the bottom right-hand corner to spark mass celebration from the vocal Chatham supporters behind the goal.
Collins said: "Richard missed the last cup final and he's been pretty much an ever-present for us all season. It was nice that he scored a goal. I wouldn't have cared who scored it, it went over the line!
"We don't score enough goals from corners and the players' changed it up so I won't take credit from it. They decided to do something a little bit different and they've gone and scored, brilliant!"
Golding added: "Another poor goal from us. It's a short corner that we didn't send a player out to and I think it's mental fatigue. It's pinged in the area and it's fallen to Richard Avery and he's put it in the back of the net.
"From there we had a bit of a go but really it was going to take a big ask from there to get back into the game."
Chatham Town controlled the rest of the game, despite Corinthian pushing three men up front for the final stages of the game.
Collins said: "I thought we were in control. The only thing I was thinking on the sideline was they've scored a lot of late goals and they've got a lot of togetherness and a lot of spirit. I probably expected them to give it a little bit more of a rally in the last 10 minutes but it might've sucked the life out of them, last week and them being 2-0 up so I was conscience of that."
Golding added: "They were relatively comfortable and I don't think we really threatened. They've got some experienced players and saw the game out and full credit to them. I would like to think if we were in that situation we would be able to do the same. I've got no complaints with the last 15 minutes. They were the better side and they controlled the game."
Vines cushion header bounced to Bodkin, who tried his luck from 40-yards and Prall slipped over and was relieved to see the ball flash just past the foot of the near post.
Collins admitted: "I don't think we worked their goalkeeper too much. I don't think he made any saves but you think they can put the ball in the box and they've shown as incredible amount of spirit and they're a very, very good side that finished 11 points above us so even though you're in control of the game you're weary it might change."
An exciting Southern Counties East Football League campaign is now over and both managers can reflect on their achievements.
"We wanted the league but I'm going to enjoy this one," said Collins.
"Cray Valley will hopefully do the good double (by beating Chertsey Town to win The Buildbase FA Vase at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 19 May 2019) and we've done a double and it was good to give something back to the supporters to have another day out. We've got a presentation night tomorrow and we'll enjoy that and let the dust settle and the hard work starts on Monday!
Golding was so close to guiding his side to the league title and a first promotion into the Isthmian League on a ZERO playing budget, which their rivals cannot believe Golding can attract a decent squad to Gay Dawn Farm for no financial gain, which makes their season an unbelievable one.
"It's hard to take. It's hard to try to work it out at the moment. I think when the dust settles the club as a whole and the players can look back with immense pride on what they achieved this year," said Golding.
"It was bitterly disappointing to finish runners-up with 90 points on the board and to lose in a cup final.
"Today was all about the players, the fans, the club, it was not about me today. I think it has been a good season. We've beaten every club record.
"When you come up a little bit short it's hard to take and it will take a while to get over."

Parish Council meeting ends in chaos
January 4, 2019 January 7, 2019 / NPJ
The Special Called Parish Council meeting Thursday evening, Jan. 3, had a rough start, which only worsened as the meeting devolved and ended in chaos. Allegations of impropriety were brought against the DA's Office, two Council members and the Parish President.
It all stems from the inability of the Council to agree on the procedure for the appointment of a new Registrar of Voters for Natchitoches Parish. Council member Doug de Graffenried addressed what seems to be the core issue: The Home Rule Charter doesn't address the procedure for appointing an ROV. On this specific issue, there's a "hole in the Charter."
"The process is flawed," said de Graffenried. "We're gonna have to work on a process that doesn't leave anyone out."
Council member Russell Rachal made a motion that the Council ask the District Attorney's Office to recuse itself from the meeting after he asked Parish President Rick Nowlin if he felt disenfranchised by the procedure. Nowlin said he did feel disenfranchised and that he's made his feelings known to the District Attorney's Office.
"It is apparent that there is a disagreement," said Rachal. "How can the DA's Office represent us if it's apparent that we're on two different thought patterns?"
Assistant District Attorney Steven Mansour was sworn in an hour before the meeting. He is an attorney and counselor-at-law in Alexandria.
"How will he [the DA Office] fairly represent the Council and the President on a divisive matter," said Rachal. "I don't think there will be a fair judgement issued."
De Graffenried seconded the motion. It failed when Rodney Bedgood, Patsy Ward Hoover and Chris Paige voted it down. Rachal then made a motion that whoever is named as the new ROV is done so by Ordinance and not by a Resolution so that the Parish President could be included. Hoover, Bedgood and Paige voted this motion down as well.
Paige accused Rachal and de Graffenried of "getting special phone calls" and "conspiring to obstruct the procedure."
Bedgood said "I thought we'd come in here and be sensible with this and try to elect the best one for this job, but I knew in my heart before I came that ya'ld already got together."
Paige said Rachal was "throwing malarky out to obstruct for one individual [Lynda Vance]."
None of the applicants were notified in writing 24 hours before the Jan. 3 executive session, which would discuss their names. The applicants received phone calls, which Rachal said would make the meeting illegal.
Statute quoted by Mansour: A public body may hold an executive session pursuant to 42:16 for one or more of the following reasons: discussion of character, professional competence or physical or mental competence of a person provided that such person is notified in writing at least 24 hours exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays before the scheduled time contained in the notice of the meeting at which the executive session is to take place. In that such person may require that such discussion be held at an open meeting.
Hoover made a motion that the Council go into executive session, which was seconded by Paige. Rachal stated that going into executive session requires a two-third majority vote. Rachal and de Graffenried voted against going into executive session.
Nowlin interjected at this point with a briefing on the ROV appointment process (SEE DOCUMENT BELOW).
Rachal then prompted Mansour to reiterate that the open meetings law does require that two-thirds of the members present must approve going into executive session.
At this point, Bedgood said the best thing to do would be to close the meeting and request another opinion from the DA Office.
"We need to sue the president," said Hoover.

It's amazing a special called meeting on the third, but the regular scheduled meeting was cancelled. The best thing we can do is turn out to vote and vote all these clowns out. This is a circus and an embarrassment to our whole state.
Caroline Graves
What in the Sam Hill is wrong with these folks !! I am absolutely disgusted with and embarrassed by and for our parish government – yes I said OUR. We seem to forget the council member represent US, which is not happening. They do what they want, when they want and damned the consequences for the residence of this parish. That said, it's no wonder nothing can get done – all these people [ council members] do is fight and bicker among each other Here's the deal folks, nothing will change, until we(the voters) make the change by cleaning house! The Home Rule Charter system is not the problem, The Police Jury system was not the problem either. The issue is a multi-layered one. 1) Lack of voter turn out. 2) Lack of trust of our said elected officials. 3) Cronyism 4) Apathy on the voters part. We have a conundrum here! The cycle needs to be broken, complaining on here will not fix the problem. Your voice at the voting booth will. If you don't then you are part of the problem. I am counting down the days for the next election!! We had the opportunity to change some things, however, NO ONE showed up to vote – well, 13% did , SHAMEFUL !!!! Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result !! So people next election get off your BUTTS and VOTE!! There is not excuse not to and there is no excuse for us to put up with the deplorable behavior of the ENTIRE Natchitoches Parish Council !!
these egotistical idiots are wasting the city and tax payers time and money,
lets get rid of them and start new .We should do they the NFL when they wanna fight eject them or fine them $10,000,i am sure the candidate for this job wants to get to work asap and these goofballs are playing games.
Executive Session? You can't go into Executive Session to discuss the appointment, further the law does not require a notification to the applicants only public notification of the meeting.
There's plenty of bad behavior and lack of integrity to go around. The comments so far skew toward blaming 3 persons. I refuse to believe they are the only problem. There are a lot of competing interests and personal agendas being worked here and it's important to acknowledge that.
Anon7
Yeah it is easy to believe that the three being blamed have been working for the betterment of the Parish when you willfully ignore their past behavior. Voting down efforts to allow residents set their own tax districts to fix roads comes to mind. One of them saying his constituents don't drive so he"s not voting for road taxes shows how little he knows or cares about Fire, EMS and LE access to his and other's constituents. Let's also ignore the fact that they tell their constituents that there is plenty of money for roads IF we go back to the old and failed PJ system. Yeah, they're really not to blame when they told their constituents that they would not support the type of government the majority of the Parish electors selected. SMH.
Dennis H. Coleman
Rumor is that Paige wants Brenda Snipes who has recently retired from a very 'successful' career in Florida. Duh!
Paige is another one that needs to go!
MEWHP
Does Paige really think he is supposed he is the only one right and should always have his way? What arrogance!
is that Wesley Snipes sister ?
I know there are people in Natchitoces parish who have the maturity to work with others in getting things done for the parish and solve some of the problems this parish has. These are the people who should be elected to the Parish Council, not the spoiled children who have been elected in the past. Spoiled Children, really? Yes, for I believe that only spoiled children behave in the manner I have seen in so many council meetings. It is a bit disgusting to me to watch grown men try to talk over others, bully others, and then storm out of a meeting when someone makes them angry. What is being accomplished that way? I can tell you, NOTHING, absolutely nothing. And yet you keep being elected. Why?
If I were in your districts, I would work to assure that you would no longer hold on to those seats. WHY? Because I want a representative that I can be proud of, one that works for me, and the entire parish, trying to make it better, not just a few roads, streets and what have you in your district. I have never seen a parish with so much dissention. I have to wonder why a few men can't sit down and talk together, and work together. It's true that you might not agree on everything, but it's really bad when you can agree on nothing. Why, because you fight, you storm out, you play tough guy and that means everyone is going to do it your way, so the meeting ends. Period.
You are accomplishing NOTHING by your actions in council meetings at this time. SO, it's time for you to get to work on the business at meetings or resign and let someone who will work take your position. I think the public overall is pretty tired of your rediculous antics. If I offend anyone, I could apologize, but I won't. I believe you deserve everything I've said to you.
Michael Casey
I agree!! Get in there and do what's right by the parish and the people . even if you personally don't agree . You shouldn't nhave ran for office for yourself,but for to make things better .
they should sale seats like a spectator sport,i would sure pay to see these idiots.They could sale food,beer and have round girls like in boxing .And all the proceeds go to the roads.
I can see it now StubHub.com,Natchitoches parish meeting coming soon
to you….do not miss out !
One doesn't "SALE" anything; you SELL it. FGS, the illiteracy of people here is another fine representation of the education system. And you wonder why these idiots keep getting elected.
Lady Jade

Alan McMurtry
The law requires that the "governing authority" of the Parish appoints the ROV. So the legal question is Who/What is the "governing authority" of Natchitoches Parish under the HRC.
I feel bad for the candidate who has to sit and wait while these
idiots play ego wars .to take the heat off this subject maybe we should bash roads again or sports complex.lol
When government entities are your parish"s biggest employer this is the kind of BS you get. Every job opening is viewed a's a life or death power struggle. Sadly it is.
they should just lock the doors and go bare knuckle sometime,all these stupid ego's and old guys who think they are entitled .Why is it other citys and function normal be we look like "romper room",the good ole boy and do you know who I am mentality will never change in the city of lights….by the way please turn the lights off Christmas was two weeks ago.
Bunch of babies. They should be embarrassed.
Stephanie Masson
I hope everyone remembers this type of behavior at election time.
The voters didn't remember this same type of behavior the last time. Hoover, Ward and Bedgood.don't give a damn about the HRC and will do everthing they can to destroy it even though they swore an oath to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution of the US, the State and the laws of our Parish.
Livingston parish appointed a new ROV s few years ago with a council vote using the same system. Maybe someone could contact the DA there and see what made it legal by state law and not blame a flawed system! This is not the first ROV appointment in Home rule charter history! But not in Natchitoches politics,we have to have a pissing contest over individual feelings! There is a legal process just follow it! Why is this so hard to undrrunder? And then you have one (Hoover) wanting to sue?? You have a council broke already wanting to sue the president,just another waste of money they don't have and a waste of time! CONTACT OTHER CHARTERS THAT HAS GONE THROUG THE PROCESS!! YES ITS THAT EASY!
Well….I HOPE we get an honest and good ROV. With so much voter fraud going on around the country…Florida, California, Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Illinois…just the cases I know about, it's been satisfying that Louisiana in general, and Natchitoches in particular, appears to have risen above all of that and maintained fair elections. Lord knows my candidate doesn't always win, and sometimes I scratch my head with "what were voters thinking?!"
But I have never thought the results were because of voter fraud. Yeah, I am not naïve and do think maybe there's been some isolated incidents, but surely not enough to alter the outcome of an election.
Election officials are doing a great job when you hear nothing about them. Like refs in a football game, when you don't notice they are even out there, they are calling a good game. Well, I have never heard of any voter/voting issues in Natchitoches, so apparently we've had the right people in charge. Let's continue that.
Jim Kilcoyne
Well said, Jason, I agree. Let's please make sure we have open/honest elections. We all lose if our elections are not fair.
That said, I don't like what's going on with the Parish Council. Speaking of elections…please remember who is doing what when the next election rolls around.
why does the city and or people keep tolerating this behavior ? they all need to go and get new blood in there. They are starting off the same way they left
arguing and not accomplishing anything.
got to love it,first meeting of the year and already fighting just like last year.
should fire or dis ban these yahoo's and get new blood in there A.S.A.P
the city deserves better,these meetings are a waste of tax payers money.
This is the Parish, not the City but yes Ward, Bedgood and Hoover have wasted a lot of time and money.

Enter The Bug Hunt In The New Teaser For Aliens: Colonial Marines
DATE: Jan 27, 2012 | BY: David Wharton | Category: Sci-Fi
Modern videogames owe a huge debt to James Cameron's Aliens. First-person shooters have been aping the feel and pacing of Cameron's action/SF classic for years. How many times have we played one of a wisecracking group of soldiers up against a vicious alien threat? How many of the generic foes that have flickered through our crosshairs bore more than a passing resemblance to Giger's xenomorphs?
Yes, games have been aping Cameron's work for decades, but for some reason the attempts to actually make a game set in the Alien/Aliens universe have yielded mixed results at best. Sega and Gearbox Software are hoping to change that next fall with the release of Aliens: Colonial Marines, as close a direct sequel to Cameron's film as we're ever likely to get. Now IGN has posted a moody new teaser showcasing a day in the life of a couple of drops of acid blood. Check it out:
Aliens: Colonial Marines Battles Xenomorphs In Newest Teaser Trailer
DATE: Aug 26, 2011 | BY: Steve West | Category: Sci-Fi
The space marine subgenre of first person shooters has been ripping off Alien from the start. Bungie, the creators of Halo, have often cited the film as a huge influence on their series. If you're going to do a space marine FPS, why the hell wouldn't you get on board with the franchise that started it all. If you're Gearbox Software, you do just that.
Aliens: Colonial Marines is shaping up to be a solid shooter, but it's the clear love for the franchise that has me excited. I still remember watching Alien as a (much too young) kid with a friend. We were in the midst of a horror phase and ran through most of what the local video store had in that genre. So with no more movies about dudes with drills on the end of a Stratocaster, we ventured out to see what mainstream horror flicks were around. Before seeing the film neither of us had any idea how important or amazing Alien is as a sci-fi horror movie.
Gearbox appears to respect the franchises place in sci-fi horror history based on the trailer below. Taking place between Aliens and Alien 3, Colonial Marines follows a squad of marines answering a distress signal coming from an abandoned ship near LV-426.

By now the drizzle had turned to rain so the course was getting nicely churned up for the U15 boys. Not deterred, Alex Ford made light work of the conditions by winning gold, with Matthew Brayshaw and Charlie Howell battling it out for silver and bronze.
There was a Basildon 1-2 in the U15 girls race with Megan Harris picking up gold and Abigail Ives silver. A fine finish from Natalie Sewell ensured her the bronze medal.
With the junior races completed and medals presented, 242 runners toed the start line in race 5 with the FV35+ and MV50+ running together. A fast start was needed to ensure a clear run as they exited the field onto a narrow track.
Although it was a hard fought contest, Liz Davies, yet again, finish ahead of the whole field to win by a clear 7 seconds and in doing so, collected a well deserved gold medal. Rebecca Luxton and Sally Judd had their own battle with Rebecca picking up silver and Sally bronze.
Just behind Liz, Allen Smalls, who thrives on mud and trails, crossed the line to win the men's race. Colin Read chased Allen down for silver with Craig Dyce hot on his heels for bronze.
Race 6 was the final event of the day where the V40 men were eager to get going. The rain had eased, conditions were ideal so the scene was set for a fast and furious race.
Crispian Bloomfield was the first runner to come flying down the final hill and head towards the finish line to win a clear gold. Silver and bronze was a closely fought battle between team mates Christian Holmes and Lee Taylor but Christian managed to hold on for 2nd place.
A great day of racing from all the athletes came to a close and it was into the hall to get warm and dry and for the medal presentations.

Percy Grainger (rear, centre) and four Lincolnshire folk singers, including Joseph Taylor (right, front)
Just spent a delightful couple of days in North Lincolnshire on the trail of Percy Grainger, with my old friend Charlie Davie.
Grainger collected folk songs in North Lincolnshire from 1906-09, pioneering the use of the phonograph to record the local folk singers. His visits to Brigg in particular, yielded a rich harvest of songs, which I had the privilege of listening to recently at Cecil Sharp House where they keep the complete recordings. Songs such as 'I'm Seventeen Come Sunday', 'Lord Bateman', 'Creeping Jane' 'The Ship's Carpenter' (later recorded by Bob Dylan, 'Bold William Taylor' and 'Died For Love' were recorded for the first time here, as was 'Brigg Fair', famously set by Grainger's friend and mentor Frederick Delius, a recording of which can be heard here.
For me the highlight of the visit was a visit to Saxby-All-Saints, home of Grainger's favourite singer Joseph Taylor, who walked from his home to Brigg and won the first competition with his version – and introduction to the world – of 'The Sprig of Thyme'. Of Taylor, Grainger wrote, "Mr. Joseph Taylor was a perfect artist in the very purest style of English folk-song singing, having, in addition to fine natural musical gifts, a resonant ringing lilting tenor voice… Though his memory for the texts of songs was not uncommonly good, his mind was a seemingly unlimited store-house of melodies, which he swiftly recalled at the merest mention of their titles. His versions were generally distinguished by the beauty of their melodic curves and by the symmetry of their construction. He relied more upon purely vocal effects than almost any folk-singer I ever heard. His dialect and his treatment of narrative points were no t so exceptional, but his effortless high notes, sturdy rhythms, clean unmistakable intervals and his twiddles and 'bleating' ornaments (invariably executed with unfailing grace and neatness) were irresistible."
Taylor had sung in the choir at the church of Saxby-All-Saints for 45 years, and it was a moving experience to stand in that selfsame church and imagine him singing in that resonant voice that so beguiled Grainger. While the church was undistinguished, for me it held a great beauty, as I sat in a pew where Percy Grainger himself may have sat, and listened in appreciation to, not only Taylor, but the whole choir of North Lincolnshire locals at their devotions.
Grainger later took Taylor to London to hear Delius's setting of 'Brigg Fair', during which, rumor has it, he got up and sang along. While we can't hear this, we can here him singing another song he introduced to Grainger, 'Rufford Park Poachers', a song Grainger later set as part of his Wind Suite A Lincolnshire Posy. The recording is here, and shows why Grainger regarded him so highly.

Oscar Isaac in "Show Me a Hero."
David Simon is the creator of The Wire, which is often cited as the greatest television drama of all time. I wouldn't argue with that label. His latest project is SHOW ME A HERO, a 6-hour miniseries on HBO, starring Oscar Isaac, Alfred Molina, Catherine Keener, Winona Ryder and many others, directed by Paul Haggis ("Crash") and based on the book of the same name by Lisa Belkin. It is Executive Produced by Nina K. Noble, Gail Mutrux and William F. Zorzi.
Logline: In an America generations removed from the greatest civil rights struggles of the 1960s, the young mayor of a mid-sized American city is faced with a federal court order that says he must build a small number of low-income housing units in the white neighborhoods of his town. His attempt to do so tears the entire city apart, paralyzes the municipal government and, ultimately, destroys the mayor and his political future.
Q: When did you become aware of Lisa Belkin's book? What initially struck you about it, and when did you see the potential for adapting it for the screen? Read more

Author Rex Pickett. Photo: rexpickett.com
I met Rex Pickett, the author of the novel Sideways that inspired the beloved film, at a showing of Sideways: the Play, which is currently playing at the Ruskin Group Theatre in Santa Monica, CA.
We spoke over a glass of Pinot (yes, the wine comes with your ticket, which is already surprisingly affordable for live theater), and he was very gracious with his time, even though he was no doubt answering the same questions about the movie that he's fielded dozens of times. Most of all, he came across as an uncensored, uncompromising artist with no fear of burning any bridges — he shoots from the hip because he has to — that's just his personality and he doesn't compromise.
I knew I had to get him on my blog. Read more

Billion dollar screenwriters Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon
A clunky first draft is a million times more valuable than a perfect 10 pages or only 3/4 of a script that that never gets finished.
Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon are a very successful screenwriting team whose films have grossed $1.4 billion worldwide (with the Night at the Museum franchise, their creation, being the heavy lifters in their filmography). Garant and Lennon met in 1988 while at NYU film school and joined with other students to form the comedy group, "The State," which would later become an MTV sketch comedy series and land them a movie deal. Garant and Lennon were the only two members of the group with the discipline to sit down and write a feature-length screenplay, but they were newcomers and the deal fell through (in their words, they "would go out to L.A. and people would yell at us" because their ideas were just too weird for mainstream producers).
