Another thing that gives your sofa a definite style is textile choice. Whenever you visit most furniture stores you should have the ability to first choose the style couch you want and then decide on your choice of cloth.
Some manufacturers have 30 or more different fabric you can choose from if you are designing a couch, with the sole limit being how much cash you want to spend. The choice of fabric can truly add thousands of dollars to the ultimate cost of a sofa. Bold bright colors and geometric designs would be used on contemporary sofas and softer muted colors and images would be utilized on traditional sofas.

Best Choices Much like any major purchase, check around. Look around online at different sofa selections so that you can get a concept of what you would like before you visit store after store after store. In the event that you see a sofa doing an internet search you ought to be in a position to find a store that offers that one brand.
Best Choices » Another great sofa option you might consider is a reclining sofa. It really is the best of both worlds. Sofas that are reclining sofas generally have two seats that recline, for maximum comfort. You may get a reclining couch in most styles, contemporary and traditional.

Q: How to execute .exe file on a windows server via PHP? I have php installed on my windows vps and available to access via port 80 and from my home PC.
Created an auto.php file which should trigger a file name Filename.exe.
Here is the code i have written (stolen from all over the net and worked on it)
<?php
exec('c:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c START C:\xampp\htdocs\myy\Filename.exe');
    echo "Game server has been started";
?>

But when ever i click on auto.php, it does not execute, However I can see a new command prompt is opened in Task Manager, but Filename.exe is not executed.
However if i create a bat file named lets say test.bat with the following command
copy NUL test.txt

and change the ending part of the script to test.bat instead of Filename.exe
i.e.
<?php
exec('c:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c START C:\xampp\htdocs\myy\test.bat');
    echo "Game server has been started";
?>

It does create a file named test.txt, but if i change the command to
START Filename.exe
it still doesnt get launched, am not sure what am I doing wrong here.
Please help.
My end game is to be able to launch filename.exe (is in same folder as of auto.php) to run remotely from browser..

A: The php exec($cmd) function will execute your command as if it's directly put in a terminal on the server. That means you should be able to simply have
exec('START C:\xampp\htdocs\myy\Filename.exe');

And it should work.
If it still doesn't work, you can always create a batch file which contains a call to that application like
START C:\xampp\htdocs\myy\Filename.exe

On most windows systems, the START will represent the opening of a new instance of the default command prompt to run the command, it could be optional as well.
Hope it helps

A: here is the way I mad it work in my requirement
exec('sample.bat',$rt);
the bat file is
@echo off
START AfterFX.exe -r E:\work\MovieMaker.jsx
pause
here after start, I call the .exe file and transferred the file to run into the software. It worked for me.

Do The Recent Canonizations Prove The Sedevacantist Heresy?
Question from a Reader:
An argument widely used by sedevacantists to prove their thesis is the infallibility of canonizations (so, due to the dubious recent canonizations, it would prove that such Popes are antipopes) they quote the letter "Inclita pictavorum" by Pius XI to prove this infalibility:
"(…) Although we have expressed our desire to grant this Blessed One (André-Hubert Fournet) the sovereign honors of the triumphant Church, […] however, as the matter is very serious, because it is linked to the INFALLIBLE MAGISTERIUM of the Vicar of Christ , We believe it opportune to postpone this canonization, in order to ask, according to the custom of the Roman Church, in a semi-public Consistory, for your second opinion, from Our venerable Cardinal Brothers, as well as from all those who should participate in this Consistory, patriarchs, archbishops, bishops and abbots nullius.
[...] We, after having pleaded again and with more fervor the lights from above, have, as Supreme Head of the Catholic Church, pronounced the INFALLIBLE sentence in these terms:
"In honor of the Most Holy and indivisible Trinity, for the exaltation of the Catholic faith and for the growth of the Christian religion, for the authority of Our Lord Jesus Christ, of the blessed apostles Peter and Paul, and for ours; after mature deliberation, and having often begged for divine help, in the opinion of Our Venerable Brothers the cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, the patriarchs, archbishops and bishops present in the city, we have decreed and defined Blessed André-Hubert Fournet and included in the catalog Santos; deciding that his memory be celebrated every year with godly devotion in the universal Church on the day of his birth in heaven, that is, on May 13, among the holy confessors and non-pontiffs. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. ""
Can you answer this Pius XI document? (or do you already have an answer?)
There are two questions implicit in this Sedevacantist argument. 1) Are canonizations infallible? 2) If they are, do the recent controversial canonizations prove that the Popes who canonized these individuals violated infallibility, and hence were not true Popes?
The short answer to the first question is that the Church has never defined that infallibility extends to canonizations, which are a secondary object of infallibility. The First Vatican Council only defined that Papal infallibility extends to the primary object of infallibility (Mansi, 52,1226f),[1] which are truths that have been formally revealed by God, and which are contained in Scripture or Tradition. The Council intended to address the secondary objects of infallibility, and even drafted a document for discussion (Mansi. 53,313.316), but was cut short by the Franco Prussian war and never completed it.
Because of that, it is not infallibly certain that canonizations are infallible, but it is the common opinion of theologians that canonizations are infallible. In the letter you quoted, Pius XI was simply stating what is commonly believed. He was not infallibly defining that canonizations are infallible.
But assuming they are in fact infallible, it would not prove the recent Popes were not true Popes. What it would prove is that the controversial individuals they canonized died in the state of grace and arrived at the beatific vision prior to their canonization. The object of the infallible judgment is that the individual is in heaven, not that they lived a life of heroic virtue. Many people are converted at the hour of death, die in the state of grace, and end in heaven - such as the Good Thief, Saint Dismas.
Considering that John XXIII, Paul VI, and John Paul II all died with the sacraments, and with millions of Catholics praying for them, it seems entirely likely that they would have died in the state of grace. And considering the number of prayers and masses offered for them after they died, it is certainly possible for them to have arrived in heaven before they were canonized. Therefore, the fact that they were canonized does not prove that the Pope who canonized them is not a legitimate Pope.
To conclude:
1) The Church has never definitively declared that infallibility extends to canonizations, which are a secondary object of infallibility.
2) If the common opinion is correct, and canonizations are infallible, the Sedevacantists would still have to prove that the person canonized was not in Heaven, in order to prove that the Popes who canonized them violated infallibility.

Valley of the Kings
Guys, just because its Egyptian themed doesn't mean triangles become pyramids. Its a triangle.
Valley of the Kings is a small box game from AEG's Pocket line of games that includes Cheaty Mages and Sail to India. It is a deck building game set in ancient Egypt. A mechanism and theme that the board game hobby has certainly seen a lot of. Does Valley of the Kings deserve your attention anyway?
One of the starting cards - unlike "copper" it remains useful until the end of the game.
Valley of the Kings does a lot of things that we're seen in previous deck builders. Players buy cards from a pool of available cards, and put them into a discard pile, which will be shuffled into their personal deck later in the game. The available cards in Valley of the Kings are set up in a triangle, and are cycled in a way that is reminiscent of Ascension, but here only half of the cards that are face up are available for purchase, which adds a bit to that formula.
The game also adds two bigger innovations to deck building. First, each card can be used to execute 1 of 3 actions.
1. The card can be played for money in order to buy cards in the center.
2. The card can be played for its action.
3. The card can be buried (permanently removed from their deck) in a player's tomb, for its victory point value.
In Valley of the Kings, any cards left in a player's deck are worthless at the end of the game. Only those cards which have been purged from each player's deck and placed into their tombs are counted as points. This is the essence of what Valley of the Kings brings to the genre - and the main reason the game is so much fun.
As one might expect, cards which have strong abilities are also worth a lot of points. So just like in Dominion - where there is a point where players have to decide to stop buying action cards and start buying point cards - players in Valley of the Kings have to choose how long they want to keep playing that valuable action card, and when they want to bury it in their tomb to ensure it gets counted as points at game end.
One of my favorite things about any deck building game is trying to thin out my deck to make it as efficient as possible. Valley of the Kings really lets me play around with this idea because players are allowed to get rid of any card in their hand once per turn. I like this both because it gives me a lot of control over my deck, and also because there isn't a safety net. I think it would be possible in this game to buy the wrong cards, thin too much, and simply be out of the game. I'm not saying this is likely, or that this game is especially punishing, but I like being treated like I know what I'm doing by a game and its designer.
Valley of the Kings also plays with deck composition by having a fair number of cards in the deck whose actions involved getting cards out of one's own deck, and putting them into the deck of another player. This action would be interesting in any deck building game - but is even more interesting here, as even the weakest/least exciting cards in the game (your starting deck) are worth victory points. So yes, by using one of these cards and then burying another card a player could potentially thin 2 cards from her deck in a single turn, but will the other player bury the card I just sent? Is making my deck a few cards stronger worth the victory point cost? In a two-player game, even a card that is just worth a single victory point could result in a 2 point swing if the shunned card ends up in the other player's tomb.
Deck building is one of my favorite mechanisms in games. Despite this, there aren't many deck building games that I have fallen in love with. Ascension, Trains, and Star Realms are some of my favorites - but with so many mediocre deck builders out there, its hard to keep playing all of them and being disappointed over and over again. That is part of why I think Valley of the Kings has been such a hit for me. The game keeps enough about the genre the same, while putting its own interesting twists on the formula.
I would definitely recommend Valley of the Kings to fans of deck building, and even to those who might feel like deck building doesn't have anything new or fun to explore. I'd rate it a solid 8.0.

This classic red is made from 100% Syrah grapes and has warm raspberry and blackberry fruit flavours streaked with subtle hints of liquorice.
This classic red has warm raspberry and blackberry-fruit flavours streaked with hints of liquorice. Made with 100% Syrah grapes grown in Saint-Joseph, arguably the best value appellation in the northern Rhône valley. This rich wine lends itself perfectly to rich foods such as venison or steak.
"There's an elegance to this - it's softer with more red fruit than black. It's a great introduction to the French styles of this grape and this bottle is astoundingly good value. It makes a perfect partner for rich stews."

Will there be charging stations available at supermarkets and banks?
Yeah? Wait until you see the start up.
yeah? maybe I'll make it my next vehicle then. My current car survived approx 6 months on the road before it suffered it's first ding...
It's always the first ding on any new vehicle that's the worst, they say...but the other 2 that happened hurt just as much.
Wow... you really are in Canada.
really am. but how do you mean?
Because it took 6 months to get your first ding on your car.
That's nothing. Where she lives I've seen 15 year old 4X4s in pristine condition.
Baffles the hell outta me.
ah, well. My very first brand new car I succeeded in keeping it ding free 4 for years! then some courier guy backed into it while it was parked in front of my work.
baffles me to, but given the amount they paid for their cadillac trucks or tricked out hummers, I'm surprised they even take them out onto the road at all!
Who gets pearl white paint for their truck?
Twila, excuse Eagle's bafflement. Average time from purchase to first ding in Boston is about six minutes.
oh and the amount of Porche SUVs, Acura, BMW and Telsa SUV's makes me wonder if the point of a Sport UTILITY Vehicle might be lost on them.
Oh, you fell for that "SUV" thing, did you? Poor lass.
It's actually "SAV," for Suburban Assault Vehicle.
Especially when they don't have snow tires.
especially when the vehicle goes from garage to mall and home again...
Six minutes... Way too generous.

When he was with NEC back then. They had issues with the larger batteries overheating and exploding.
Who cares when the tech was first developed? The entire point is that they were ignored until the last couple of decades. Ditto for solar and wind, two technologies that have been around for centuries, but are just now coming into their own. I suspect we are going to see an explosion in green tech innovation in the next few years. A superb example is that of LEDs, which are replacing lighting worldwide due to their low energy use. A decade ago they were almost nonexistent; now they are everywhere. We are in an age that rivals the Industrial Revolution in its rapid technological innovation. Change is accelerating and I expect it will continue to do so.

What characteristics make Phoebe so important to Holden?
What is the impression Holden wants to make on the three girls in the cocktail lounge by saying he's Jim Steele? What do Rudolph Schmidt and Jim Steele have in common?
What do girls need to do (or be) in order to appeal to Holden?
Why does Holden regret having lied to Marty about seeing Gary Cooper?
Holden "gives the eye" to three women at another table, in particular a blonde one. He asks the blonde one to dance, and Holden judges her to be an excellent dancer, but a moron. Holden is offended when the woman, Bernice Krebs, asks his age, but he tells these women, who are visiting from Seattle, that his name is Jim Steele.
This chapter continues a pattern of pseudonyms that Holden adopts for himself. He treats his interaction with others as a performance, refusing to honestly depict himself to those around him. His honesty is entirely internalized; he admits his faults and lies in narration, but cannot do the same with other persons.

Robert Howard Vance (born 31 March 1955) is a former New Zealand cricketer. He played in four Test matches and eight One Day Internationals for New Zealand.

Vance was born into a cricketing family; his father, Bob Vance, was for many years a part of the Wellington team and a long-term chairman of NZ Cricket.

Domestic career
Vance first played for Wellington in the 1976–77 season and for four of the next five seasons was the Wellington wicket-keeper before beginning to concentrate on his batting. After establishing himself as a specialist batsman he became one of the most prolific batsmen in New Zealand domestic cricket through the 1980s

Vance was in his twelfth season of first-class cricket and thirty-two years old when finally called up to the New Zealand Test team in the New Zealand summer of 1987–88. That season he scored 638 runs for Wellington at an average of 79.75 and including three centuries. This was followed up the next season with 888 runs at an average of 80.72 including four centuries – a performance which saw him again included in the Test team.

Statistically, Vance's main claim to fame is deliberately conceding, on the instructions of his captain, a record 77 runs in single over in 1990.

#122: Wisdom@Work | The Making of A Modern Elder 0
Today my guest is Chip Conley. Chip is a New York Times bestselling author and hospitality maverick. He is a recipient of hospitality's highest honor, the Pioneer Award, and was named the Most Innovative CEO in the San Francisco Bay Area by the San Francisco Business Times.
As a rebel entrepreneur, Chip has disrupted his favorite industry...twice.
At age 26, the founder of Joie de Vivre Hospitality (JdV) where he took an inner-city motel and turned it into the second largest boutique hotel brand in America. He sold JdV after running it as CEO for 24 years.
Soon the young founders of Airbnb asked him to help transform their promising start-up into the world's leading hospitality brand. In four years as Head of Global Hospitality & Strategy, Chip taught his award-winning methods to hosts in close to 200 countries, and today he serves as the company's Strategic Advisor for Hospitality & Leadership.
His five books have made him a leading authority at the intersection of psychology and business. While writing his latest book, Wisdom@Work: The Making of A Modern Elder, Chip was inspired to build the world's first "midlife wisdom school," the Modern Elder Academy (MEA), where attendees learn how to repurpose a lifetime of experience for the modern workplace.
Chip holds a BA and an MBA from Stanford University, and an honorary doctorate in psychology from Saybrook University. He is an active mentor to six young CEO founders in the hospitality/tech world and serves on the board of Encore. org and the advisory board for the Stanford Center for Longevity.

The Journeyman | The Old Lady: Part 3 – Season 1 Reflection
My return to Italy with Juventus, some time on from a failed time at Cagliari, was a resounding success. We pipped Inter to the Serie A title and won my first Champions League and the club's first in 44 years since 1996.
This may well be our final season of this save, given FM21 is now in Beta mode, but here's a reflection on one of the best seasons of this Journeyman adventure.
Juve key players
The obvious standout player this season was Brazilian left-winger Márcio Roberto, who scored 22 goals and got 12 assists in 38 appearances. However, he did score six of those goals in the first two games of the season, and seven in the first three.
Striker Carl Guillaume chipped in with 20 goals, followed by midfielder Edouard Pierre-Charles with 16, of which 10 were penalties (and he missed four penalties). Right-winger Ivan Barbosa Martins also scored 14 and Zsolt Papp scored 11.
Midfielder Jonathan Montagne got the joint-most assists with 12, along with Márcio Roberto, but claimed the top average rating at the club with an impressive 7.65 from 39 games.
Martins got 11 assists and left-back and captain Franco Muggeri got 10 and right-back Graziano Cenghialta, who's technically a natural left-back, got nine.
Another key man who went under the radar was holding midfielder Eric Yakubu, who had our third-highest average rating of 7.49 from 49 appearances.
Goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Mutairi set a new club and Serie A record of 30 clean sheets from his 36 appearances, conceding just 7 goals in that time. His replacement conceded three in two matches…
Márcio Roberto won the Serie A Player of the Year and came second in the Top Goalscorer award, four goals behind Roma striker Nikola Barjektarevic. But, strangely, he didn't make the league's Team of the Year, which utilised a very strange formation that no team has ever used.
Montagne won the Serie A Best Player award and won the best midfielder of the season, while Daniel Dallera won defender of the season. Montagne was also named as the fans' player of the season with 58% of the vote, followed by Márcio Roberto (17%) and Yakubu (15%). He also claimed signing of the season and 24-year-old Márcio Roberto was the young player of the season.
Serie A team stats
My tiki-taka focus paid off as we had the second-best possession ratio in Serie A of 59%, only bettered by Napoli's 62%.
That resulted in the highest goals tally of 83, highest pass completion ratio of 91%, most chances created of 106 and most shots on target of 353. We won an outrageous 18 penalties, which was eight more than the next highest of Inter.
We also had the best defence with just 10 goals conceded, of which three were in the last two games when we rested our entire starting eleven, followed by Inter's 11. Four of those goals came from corners, one was from an indirect free-kick, we only conceded one penalty and zero goals from direct free-kicks.
However, we do have the highest salary spend of £240 million per annum, £1 million more than Inter but more than double any other salary in the league!
Serie A player stats
Montagne was easily the best player in Serie A with an average rating of 7.72 from 28 appearances. Yakubu and Márcio Roberto were also in the top five, and centre-backs Daniel Dallera and Sergio Carrillo made the top ten.
Márcio Roberto scored the second most goals, but had the best average minutes to goal ratio of 124.41. While Guillaume had the most shots (152) and shots on target (80) in Serie A.
Montagne got the second most assists with 10, only behind Inter's Jose Alejandro's 13, and second most key passes of 99, only behind Inter's Valery Reshetnikov – who cost them £128 million in the summer. Barbosa Martins created the second most chances of 17, and got nine assists.
We also had the top three best passers in the league with Pierre-Charles completing 96% of passes and Yakubu and Al-Mutairi on 95%. And Márcio Roberto completed the most dribbles per 90 minutes of 6.17.
Al-Mutairi conceded just seven goals in 36 appearances, conceding 0.19 goals per 90 minutes, and racked up 30 clean sheets.
A look around Europe
Liverpool defended their Premier League title, winning it with 88 points three clear of Man City. And Monaco defended their title in Ligue 1. While my former club Sporting also defended the Portuguese title. Ajax reclaimed the Dutch title for first time in five years, with my previous club Feyenoord down in fourth.
Real Madrid dominated La Liga, finishing on 97 points and 16 clear of Barcelona to claim their sixth successive title. And Dortmund won a seventh successive Bundesliga, 12 points clear of Schalke with Bayern down in fourth. No wonder we thumped them 5-1!
We of course won the Champions League, and Everton won the Europa League for the second time in three years beating Inter 2-1 in extra-time in the Final.
In other news, my former national side Denmark won the 2040 European Championships!

News|Brexit
After election victory, Boris Johnson promises January 31 Brexit
After election win, PM Johnson makes Brexit promise and says UK will 'take back control' of borders, money and trade.
Video Duration 04 minutes 27 seconds 04:27
Published On 13 Dec 201913 Dec 2019
After his sweeping election win, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Britain would leave the European Union on January 31
"We will get Brexit done on time by the 31st of January, no ifs, no buts, no maybes," Johnson told cheering supporters on Friday.
"I will make it my mission to work night and day, flat out to prove that you were right in voting for me this time, and to earn your support in the future.
"And I say to you that in this election your voice has been heard, and about time too.
"Because we politicians have squandered the last three years, three and a half years in squabbles – we've even been arguing about arguing, and arguing about the tone of our arguments.
"Leaving the European Union as one United Kingdom, taking back control of our laws, borders, money, our trade, immigration system, delivering on the democratic mandate of the people."
Official results from Thursday's general election, a snap poll called by Johnson to break months of political deadlock over Brexit, showed his Conservatives had won 365 of the 650 seats up for grabs in the House of Commons.
Turnout was about 67 percent, approximately the same level as the previous general election in 2017.
The results marked a decisive shift in British politics. It was the Conservatives' best election performance since 1987 under Margaret Thatcher, and Labour's worst defeat – the party won just 203 seats – since 1935, when Clement Attlee ran the party.
Later on Friday, Johnson left his Downing Street residence to ask Queen Elizabeth for formal permission to create a new government.
He will bring his Brexit deal back to Parliament next week.
Brexit: What next?
If Parliament passes Johnson's existing withdrawal agreement by his January 31 Brexit deadline, it will usher in a potentially gruelling transition period during which the UK and EU are expected to try and hammer out a deal on their future relationship.
Johnson has repeatedly said this period will not be extended past the end of 2020, when it is currently scheduled to end, but there is doubt over whether a comprehensive agreement could be concluded before then.
EU Council President Charles Michel said on Friday the bloc is ready to embark on trade talks with Britain and will do the utmost to protect European priorities after Johnson's win.
"My point is very clear: We are ready. We have decided what are our priorities," said Michel as he arrived at an EU summit where leaders would discuss the aftermath of the UK vote and Britain's planned departure.
"We expect a vote on the withdrawal agreement as soon as possible … It's important to have clarity as soon as possible."
World leaders react
Several world leaders reacted to Johnson's win.
US President Donald Trump was among the first, writing on Twitter: "Congratulations to Boris Johnson on his great WIN! Britain and the United States will now be free to strike a massive new Trade Deal after BREXIT. This deal has the potential to be far bigger and more lucrative than any deal that could be made with the E.U. Celebrate Boris!"
"Congratulations, Boris Johnson, on your resounding victory. I look forward to working with you for the friendship and strong cooperation between our nations," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said, according to her spokesman.
Russia's Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters: "Of course we hope every time that political forces that win elections in any country share the ideology of and aim to build good relations with our country. I don't know how appropriate such hopes are in the case of the Conservatives."
Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis tweeted: "He is a charismatic leader, we share the same kind of thinking. He received strong mandate to deliver Brexit. I'm sorry that Czech Republic loses strong ally in the EU."
Israeli foreign minister, Israel Katz, said Johnson's win was a "victory of values" over anti-Semitism, referring to allegations of anti-Jewish racism in the Labour Party.

Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the main opposition Labour Party, announced he would not be heading another election campaign after Thursday's crushing defeat.
Speaking at a vote count in his north London constituency of Islington, Corbyn, 70, described Labour's performance as "very disappointing" before saying he would lead the party for an interim period while it discussed its future in a "period of reflection".
Several of Labour's so-called "red wall" strongholds across England's Midlands and north – many of which voted in favour of leaving the EU in the UK's 2016 referendum on membership of the bloc – fell to the Conservatives.

Fampoux British Cemetery is een Britse militaire begraafplaats met gesneuvelden uit de Eerste Wereldoorlog, gelegen in de Franse gemeente Fampoux (departement Pas-de-Calais). De begraafplaats werd ontworpen door Noel Rew en ligt aan de Rue Voie Herbeuse op 750 m ten noordwesten van het centrum van Fampoux (Église Saint-Vaast).
Ze heeft een trapeziumvormig grondplan met een oppervlakte van 407 m² en wordt omsloten door een natuurstenen muur, afgedekt met rechtopstaande breukstenen.
In de noordelijke hoek (staatzijde) bevindt zich in een naar binnen gebogen gedeelte van de muur tussen twee bloembakken het metalen toegangshekje. Vanaf de ingang heeft men zicht op het Cross of Sacrifice dat tegen de noordwestelijke muur staat. In de westelijke hoek staat een stenen rustbank. De begraafplaats wordt onderhouden door de Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Er liggen 118 slachtoffers begraven waaronder 8 niet geïdentificeerde.

Geschiedenis
Fampoux werd op 9 april 1917 overgenomen door de 4th Division (via de 9th (Scottish) Division). De gemeente bleef echter vlak bij de geallieerde frontlinie maar een deel ervan kwam op 25 maart 1918 tijdens de Duitse opmars in vijandelijke handen. Uiteindelijk werd ze op 26 augustus 1918 door de 51st (Highland) Division definitief veroverd.

De begraafplaats (soms ook Helena Trench Cemetery genoemd) werd door eenheden van de 4th en de 34th Divisions van april tot juni 1917 gebruikt en opnieuw door de Guards Division in 1918.
Na de wapenstilstand werden tien graven die in de weg uitstaken verplaatst (nu rij E) waardoor de nummering van de rijen A tot D onregelmatig is. De uitbreiding die de Duitsers aan de begraafplaats toevoegden, werd vernietigd in de gevechten van 1917 en 1918.

Onder de 110 geïdentificeerde slachtoffers zijn er 92 Britten en 18 Zuid-Afrikanen.

Children of the Horned God
Before the forges of Klarglich were made, before the hounds of darkness issued forth from Austrag and long before the mogrl were crafted in the Pits of Woe, Unklar fashioned the ungern. When first he came through the portal, Unklar slew the high priest Nectanebo. After that, he fell upon the Emperor's Guard and the God-Emperor himself. All fell to the Horned God with an ease that made that beastly creature forever after hold great disdain for the folk of the All Father's fashioning. So immediately he gathered to him the substance of the Void and with the language of his Father, he crafted the ungern, the "black spawn." Some say that they were born of a union between the dark fey and wild evil men enslaved in Unklar's service. But this is not so; they are of the Val-Austlich, those creatures forged from the Language of Creation and the Val-Eahrakun, of which Unklar was one of the greatest. The Judgement of Corthain does not bind them and the ungern move freely about the planes as few other creatures can.
The Ungern served Unklar as soldiers and captains, and spread his evil throughout the lands. They were the battle lords that destroyed Kayomar, drove the elves of the Shelves of the Mist into ruin and plundered the dwarf halls. Their numbers were great and they led the armies in countless battles, ever in the service of their dark master. They filled the holds of Aufstrag with their evil and their numbers grew beyond scope.

Word of the Day -- Paladin
The paladins, sometimes known as the Twelve Peers, were the foremost warriors of Charlemagne's court, according to the literary cycle known as the Matter of France. They first appear in the early chansons de geste such as The Song of Roland, where they represent Christian valor against the Saracen hordes. The paladins and their associated exploits are largely later fictional inventions, with some basis on historical Frankish retainers of the 8th century and events such as the Battle of Roncevaux Pass and the confrontation of the Frankish Empire with Umayyad Al-Andalus in the Marca Hispanica.

Paths to Treasure
While digging on Hardian's Wall archeologists uncovered a well-worked, wooden, seat, shaped like a ring with an opening in the middle. You guessed it, they uncovered a very old toilet seat. Which is pretty cool in and of itself, because these things are few and far between. Lying their in the clay for so many years, the seat is very well preserved. It is smooth and well used. And wooden. The only one of its kind that we have.
That's cool.
But what is even more cool is what might lie underneath. Often, according to the site manager, Roman toilets hold all manner of artifacts. Items dropped in the abyss, tend to stay there as few braved the tunnels of despair to fetch dropped items.
So the paths to treasure continue.
That should really be where a treasure horde lies...in the latrine. It might dissuade the characters from plunging in . . . though I doubt it.

Iceland's Barbarbunga Volcano
Iceland's Barbarbunga volcano has been rumbling for some time now and it looks like its finally broken the surface. Its not a mountain of an eruption but a large fissure (an old one by all accounts) has opened north of the volcano and is vomiting its contents upon the land.
The volcano is on red alert and it seems to be pushing up and out in multiple areas. Planes have been diverted as its almost impossible to know when the volcano will...if at all...blow. The volcano itself lies beneath the ice sheets in north Iceland and has been melting a great deal of its cap. The Grimstvon Lake has jumped from 16 to 32 feet in the last week or so.
This is not the volcano in question.

Star Trek Fan Film
A Star Trek fan film may be on its way. The group raised $630,000 on Kickstarter and is set to begin production soon. The full length film will be at least 90 minutes long and chronicle the battle of Axanar. This is 21 years before Captain Kirk begins his legendary exploration of the galaxy and goes "where no man has gone before."
Axanar is a huge battle in Garth of Izar cuts his teeth, becoming the idol of the Star Fleet Academy and Captain Kirk's hero.
The preview looks good and has some recognizable actors in it, most notable Tony Todd!
See the preview here.
The Perfect Monster
Our weekly game has seen the party wandering through a horrid marsh, they are making no time and are constantly having to double back, circle around and push their way through all the muck and mire. Its a cursed swamp so they are being hounded at every turn, up to six encounters a night (less in the day).
Its an interesting trek, but one that's going to get a whole lot more interesting.
Introducing the siphonophores. This creature lives on our own planet, living in the deep waters. They grow by cloning body parts and rapidly become a sprawling mess of specialized body organs. One set of body parts might provide locomotion, another set for reproduction, another set for feeding, etc. The cloned parts act more like a colony than a single bodied organisms. But these miss-mashed creatures can extend up to 100 feet.
It looks like next weeks adventure is going to get a whole lot more interesting. They might kill part of it, but there will be a little more.

The Fall of Al Liosh
In the end Frafnog came to the lands of the Long River and Al Liosh. Coming from the south, he set all to ruin along the Udunilay, burning any and all, plundering, devouring, slaying all who challenged him. When Al Liosh at last stood before him, with her long walls of white stone, towers and temples, he hesitated. He flew slowly over the city looking upon the glory of its majesty. All there could see the weight of him and his size was beyond imagining. Four hundred feet long, and half as wide, wings that blotted out the sun. Frafnog, first born of Inzaa, his eyes emblazoned with his mother's ire.
When all had seen the dragon and the stink of his fear soiled the hearts of men, Frafnog fell, plummeting like a mountain into the city. The buffet of his wings tore roofs from buildings, the tail slap brought towers to ruin, his roar broke the hearts of men and drove them mad, and his breath washed over them like the fires of damnation. The dragon raged in Al Liosh for days, killing and burning. When the wages of his rage were at last paid, Al Liosh lay in ruins, the Red Men fled to the north, their temples cast down. Frafnog called the God Emperor forth. And Antek IV came, for such was the power of the dragon that none could resist him, and with him came the remains of his court.

Mysterious Rocks Moving
As you've no doubt heard there are rocks in Death Valley that leave trails behind them as they crawl through the sand. Wait? What? Rocks leave a trail? Indeed he says professorially.
Its been a mystery for some time, but not anymore.
A team of knuckleheads got together and figured out how and why. "A rare combination of water and ice combines to move the rocks, the researchers said. The playa lake needs to be deep enough for floating ice, but shallow enough to leave the rocks exposed. The surface ice should be thin "windowpane" ice, but strong enough to break into big panels that can bully the rocks. Finally, the freezing nights need to be followed by sunny days with light winds, which drive the cracking ice across the lake."
Live Science has the full article and its pretty funny, some of the comments said. Enjoy it here.
The world is just a little less interesting.

Comic Con Heading Out?
It seems that Comic Con San Diego has been growing alot in recent years. They have filled up the convention center, flooded to overflowing the hotels and pushed their venue out from the convention center. Requests to San Diego to expand the center seemed hopeful but have apparently not been successful as the City Council voted to not expand the center.
That's probably a very bad move. I'm not sure of the economics, but having 10s of thousands of people flood your local community for a week or so every year has to pump up the wallet, and governments (everywhere) need cash like a drug addict needs a fix (all the time and however they can get it).
Because if the convention center doesn't expand, the show's owners are thinking of moving the event elsewhere.
Wow. The San Diego Comic Con not in San Diego. Makes since, Geneva Con is now Gen Con and lies in Indianapolis. Its the nature of success.
For the Star Wars Collector
Marvel is following its Howard the Duck omnibus with a Star Wars collection, or rather collections.
This sucker is going to weight in at 440 pages, which is pretty cool and retailers for 35 smackers. Not a bad price for all that. It joins a few other collections that Marvel is doing. All this to bring everything to the fore for the release of the three new comic book titles they have planned for the near future (to coincide with the new movie).
There's a bunch of them and I'll let ICv2 give you the full skinny. Read about it here.

Six Degrees of King Arthur
Oh, wait, not degrees, but movies. Apparently Warner Brothers has hatched a plot to produce six King Arthur movies. The script for the first one is complete and off to production we hear. That is cool enough, but it looks like they've also scored Charlie Hunnam for the role of the greatest of the world's many Kings.
Hunnam plays Jax in the FX show Sons of Anarchy. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it. Its very good...though pretty violent, be warned. But what makes the show really successful are the actors. The stories are interesting. The show is well done, but the actors are through the roof. the All these guys give it there all and Hunnam is right there with it.
He's got the look and feel for a King Arthur . . . he sort of plays one in Sons of Anarchy.
Good news all the way around!
Word of the Day -- Cosmology
Cosmology (from the Greek κόσμος, kosmos "world" and -λογία, -logia "study of"), is the study of the origin, evolution, and eventual fate of the universe. Physical cosmology is the scholarly and scientific study of the origin, evolution, large-scale structures and dynamics, and ultimate fate of the universe, as well as the scientific laws that govern these realities. Religious cosmology (or mythological cosmology) is a body of beliefs based on the historical, mythological, religious, and esoteric literature and traditions of creation and eschatology.
The Hubble eXtreme Deep Field
Physical cosmology is studied by scientists, such as astronomers, and theoretical physicists; and academic philosophers, such as metaphysicians, philosophers of physics, and philosophers of space and time. Modern cosmology is dominated by the Big Bang theory, which attempts to bring together observational astronomy and particle physics.
Although the word cosmology is recent (first used in 1730 in Christian Wolff's Cosmologia Generalis), the study of the universe has a long history involving science, philosophy, esotericism and religion. Related studies include cosmogony, which focuses on the origin of the Universe, and cosmography, which maps the features of the Universe. Cosmology is also connected to astronomy, but while the former is concerned with the Universe as a whole, the latter deals with individual celestial objects.

When Satellites Collide
We hear about all the space junk floating around above our lovely planet and the dangers it poses to flying craft, but we rarely hear of some it colliding. Apparently back in February that's exactly what happened. Two satellites smacked into each other at 15,000 miles per hour.
That's a pretty good bump.

This just annoyed the crap out of me. I don't even like to put leashes on the dogs (they are whistle trained, well one anyway, the other one's an idiot). But now you can buy some giant harness to put on your dog's back and make funny youtube videos. This is worse than putting hats and sweaters on dogs, at least those serve a purpose (or attempt to).
I was watching this show the other day where they tagged this shark with a camera and tracking device, clipping it on his dorsal fin. And I thought, what a mean thing to do. That poor shark has to swim around with some crappy computer attached to him. We should do that to a few biologists. Make them run around with a camera attached to their ankle.
Look at the following pictures and find the happy dog:
Now this is a suit of armor. Not sure how realistic it is, not being an armorer. But it looks cool and as if its not over done as too often the movies tend to do. Armor can be pretty heavy, seeing how its all made of metal.
This is Leelee Sobieski from the movie Joan of Arc.
The Hollmgrads
This is a low range of mountains that creep out of the great northern wastes and edge up to the Inner Sea. The mountains are thickly forested in evergreen. The mountains are not high and are gently sloped, having been scraped raw by the glaciation during the Winter Dark. The mountains frequently give way to highland plateaus, areas where the elevation is sufficiently low enough to allow for longer summers. They are very wet, dominated by bogs and pete marshes.
Winter lasts throughout much of the year and snow can fall at any time. In the short summers many creeks and streams of frigid water wash through frosty vales and across the cool plateaus.
Many creatures of the north dwell here, sea lions on the coasts, musk oxen, white bears, wolves and snow deer, yak, elk, caribou and moose. To those who know the secrets of the Hollmgrads, it is a bountiful land and one full of promise. Winter is the only enemy, for they harsh. Frozen winds from the Inner Sea mix with the chilly storms of the north in a battle in the sky, bringing icy rain, then snow, all carried by bitterly cold winds.
The men of Holmgald call this place home, and many wander into the Hollmgrads seeking fabled creatures, snow-beasts and white dragons. An old dwarven highway remains, the Andrus Road, beginning in the Gruswald, wandering the whole length of the mountains to end in the Moravan Plains. It is narrow, made for foot and mule traffic only and frequently consists of little more than stairs carved into the mountain, or peg cliffs designed for climbing up vertical walls. It is sprinkled with old hostels, stone ruins now, a testament to when the dwarves wandered the road on an almost daily basis.
The Long Slopes
Blade Runner Sequel A Go
Ridley Scott said in an interview that the Blade Runner sequel is a go and its "damn good" to quote the man himself. The first of course is an iconic film that is perhaps one of the best, if not the best, science fiction movie ever made.
Very loosely based on the Philip K. Dick short story Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Blade Runner finds Dekker, a police officer, hunting down dangerous androids, who themselves are looking for a way to extend their life spans. Fantastic film.
The sequel picks up years later and stars Harrison Ford in his iconic role. We'll see if he can capture that mood of tough ambivalence that he portrayed before.

Arnie Makes the World a Better Place
We know that Arnie is deeply committed to the new Conan franchise. We hear a release date of 2015 and we also hear there may be more than just one, which would be fantastic. Though Conan the Destroyer wasn't as good as Conan the Barbarian (largely a script issue), it does not land on Arnie's plate. He played the rolls given him.
And Conan the Barbarian was just plain cool.
Now we have Maggie. An Arnie Zombie flick set for release in 2015. It was supposed to debut earlier but Lionsgate picked up the movie and is promising a full release next year.
This is good news for Arnie as his box office draw has not been great recently (though his latest movies have been really good) which probably means that digital sales have been strong.
Its better news for us, because we have a better chance of seeing Arnie Kill Zombies!!!
Beneath the World
I like this concept. Not sure what for, maybe a dwarf realm, more open and natural than I previously conceived them. But this is painting screams adventure!
Wait? What?
When you rely on someone else to do the work that you need to do, they might be able to hold it over your head?
According to former NASA Chief, who seems to have a suddenly read the history of any year in the 4000 years of recorded human history, has discovered that the Russians can hold transport to the International Space Station over our heads.
Back a few years ago we retired our fleet of space shuttles and decided that the Russians, the only ones doing manned space flight and whom we just came out of a 60+ year war with, would offer a kindly surrogate.
Turns out they don't always agree with the west and can now hold that over our heads, barring us from the ISS. Who could possibly have anticipated this?
Of course NASA's budget has been cut to a nub, of course NASA has massive spending habits.
Thank god for the billionaires!
Word of the Day -- CAPTCHA
A CAPTCHA (an acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether or not the user is human. The term was coined in 2000 by Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas J. Hopper of Carnegie Mellon University and John Langford of IBM. The most common type of CAPTCHA was first invented by Mark D. Lillibridge, Martin Abadi, Krishna Bharat and Andrei Z. Broder. This form of CAPTCHA requires that the user type the letters of a distorted image, sometimes with the addition of an obscured sequence of letters or digits that appears on the screen. Because the test is administered by a computer, in contrast to the standard Turing test that is administered by a human, a CAPTCHA is sometimes described as a reverse Turing test. This term is ambiguous because it could also mean a Turing test in which the participants are both attempting to prove they are the computer.
Yes, that's the history of these annoying things!

The Vale of Jariel
They dwelt there together for a long season.
When summer came Aedgen's thoughts turned back to his people. He implored Tefnut for aid in bringing them hither. And so it was that in the far north, upon the headwaters, that the people first encountered Tefnut. She rose from the water one midday, and called to them to follow her. Aedgen's people were amazed, for such beauty and power they had never seen. For all that Tefnut was, came of the flowing waters and deep pools of the world, and her power was little spent in those days and much of what had, lie in the Ethvold itself. Not until that forest was lost was her power diminished.
The Ethrum followed Tefnut south. She calmed the river for them and brought them, after many hardships, to the deep vale that lay in the long valleys of Kayomar, that men would later call Jariel. And that land became the heart of the tribes of Ethum for many ages of the world they worshiped Tefnut and the gods of the Ethvold, that were later called the Og Aust, the Old Gods.

Interview with German guitarist Greyhound George - bridges the old blues feeling with nowadays experiences
Posted by Michael Limnios Blues Network on December 15, 2014 at 10:29pm
"The blues is life translated into music. Playing the blues is like standing naked in front of the public and letting the people know about the secrets of your soul."
Greyhound George: 21st Century Blues
Greyhound George aka Jürgen Schildmann (Vocals, Resonator-Guitar) was born in Bielefeld, Germany in 1961. He is playing the blues now for almost 40 years but only lately he has made himself a name as a solo artist by his virtuosic and grooving slide and fingerpicking on the resonator guitar and a lot of blues feeling in his voice. Nominated for the German Blues Award 2013, he bridges the gap from the old Delta blues to ragtime and country and own interpretations of blues and ballads as well as bluesy rock and soul songs.
Greyhound George's Blues tells stories from everyday life. He lets the people participate in grand emotions and little incidents, but George's blues is not always low down and sad. He has fun in doing what he does and he lets the people know! George does not restrict himself to copying the old long gone masters of the Country Blues, but he shows with his interpretations and his own songs that this music is still alive and well and can capture an audience. The German "bluesnews" magazine wrote: "Greyhound George proves that Country Blues has a future if it's only presented right" In 2013 and 2014 Greyhound George was nominated for the "German Blues Award".
What do you learn about yourself from the blues and what does the blues mean to you?
The blues is life translated into music. Playing the blues is like standing naked in front of the public and letting the people know about the secrets of your soul. Nowadays there are a lot of cliche's about the blues, like wine, women and whiskey, voodoo magic and feeling bad. Not that they are all wrong but in fact the blues is something that you feel. It´s about you and your life, about having problems (and surviving them!) but also about having fun.
How do you describe Greyhound George sound and songbook? What characterize your music philosophy?
Call it "21st Century Country Blues". The Greyhound-George-Sound is a little bit old fashioned. I use old acoustic guitars, no effects and so on. My last CD "Cleaning Up" was recorded with just me and my friend Andy Grünert (harp) playing live in the studio. I was using some guitars from the thirties so we could get that old country blues sound. But my songs deal with nowadays life, my personal experience and feeling. Sometimes I take pop songs from the radio to play them in my personal style. Just working on a slide version of Pharrell Williams´ "Happy". Old time bluesmen like Robert Johnson did things like that all the time...A blues musician is some kind of entertainer. You have to touch people´s souls.
"Nowadays there are a lot of cliche's about the blues, like wine, women and whiskey, voodoo magic and feeling bad. Not that they are all wrong but in fact the blues is something that you feel."
Why did you think that the Blues music continues to generate such a devoted following?
The blues is different from what you hear on the radio. The people who sing and play the blues put their souls into it! With very few exceptions, blues music is honest and heartfelt and people can relate to that!
Which meetings have been the most important experiences for you? What is the best advice ever given you?
I have learned a lot about blues, music and life when I was in my teens. People like Big Joe Williams, Louisiana Red and Champion Jack Dupree were playing in a local club called "Bunker". They were from the same generation as my grandparents but they were cooler than everyone I had ever met before. Very relaxed but at the same time completely devoted to what they were doing. From that moment on I knew: when I grow old, I want to be like that and do what they were doing...
The best advice? A man's got to do what a man's got to do … Be yourself and don't care too much about what others might say or do.
Are there any memories from gigs, jams, studio and open acts which you'd like to share with us?
There are many, many memories and it would take days to tell them all, but – the first cut is the deepest- one of the hardest gigs I ever have played was playing second guitar with Louisiana Red when I was about 21 years old. A friend called me up in the afternoon. His band should back up Red that evening and for some reasons the guitar player was not able to play. So he asked me and of course I accepted immediately. The Band usually played their 12-bar blues stuff but playing with Louisiana Red was something completely different! Red invented his songs on stage and did not care at all about bars or chord changes. He did not care about the band either...There are recordings from that gig and I will take them to my grave!

"The blues in Germany is alive and well and the most interesting period is exactly now..."
What do you miss most nowadays from the blues of past? What are your hopes and fears for the future of?
Maybe sometimes so called "blues" is more a virtuoso showdown. Many modern blues players are educated musicians and sometimes they don't know the notes they should better leave out...nevertheless I have no fear for the future because there are so many talents who touch my soul!
The blues has become a kind of internet-phenomenon. There has to be much more blues on radio and TV!
Make an account of the case of the blues in Germany. Which is the most interesting period in local scene?
The blues in Germany is alive and well and the most interesting period is exactly now...
What are the lines that connect the legacy of Blues from United States and 60s UK to Germany?
I'm not really a historian but I think the German concert promoters Lippmann und Rau have a great part in that story. Their "American Folk Blues Festivals" featured all the big names in American blues like Muddy Waters, Hooker, T-Bone Walker, Big Joe Williams, Lonnie Johnson and many more. Musicians and listeners in England, Germany and some other European countries had the chance to see and hear the best of the best players of their time. That was what brought the blues to England and Germany as well. In later years Champion Jack Dupree and Louisiana Red-along with some other American blues players – found a new home in Germany. They taught local musicians how to play the blues and the story continues...In these days American musicians travel to Germany to play with their German colleagues. Larry Garner teams up with Michael van Merwyk, Poor Howard Stith tours with me and plays some of my songs over in the States... The blues has become a universal language and color or heritage don´t matter anymore!

What has made you laugh lately and what touched (emotionally) you from the local music circuits?
Andy Grünert and I played in a prison last week. The inmates did not know anything about the blues and most of them could not understand English. After listening to our first few songs they got more and more involved with what happened on stage. After the concert they were led to their cells, singing "Diddy Wah Diddy" and one of them told me "I'll call you up when I have figured out what Diddy Wah Diddy means!" The warden told us he had never seen these people so relaxed. The power of the blues....
Do you know why the sound of slide and resonator guitar is connected to the blues? What are the secrets of?
There is no other Instrument as close to the human voice as the slide guitar. You can bend and vibrate a note as you want to and you really can make it sing! The tone of a resonator guitar is louder and more punchy than that of a regular guitar. Good resonators also have a kind of "built-in-reverb" in them that emphasized the singing quality of slide even more. If you hear a real good one, you might ask yourself: "Where is the amplifier?"
Let's take a trip with a time machine, so where and why would you really wanna go for a whole day..?
The Gunter Hotel, San Antonio, Texas in November 1936 when Robert Johnson cut his first records...

Sussex XC League Match 3 at Bexhill
Chichester finished their Sussex Cross Country League campaign at Bexhill on Saturday 9th February 2019 emerging with individual and team medals after a hard-fought season.
After the overnight gales had brought down a number of trees on the course it was thanks to the efficiency of host club Hastings AC that the fixture was able to start on time with high winds buffeting the runners on the exposed parts of the course.
With both Liam Dunne and Ned Potter on recent good form, the club's U17 men knew that a solid all-round performance was all that was needed to secure team medals, but they excelled themselves by finishing just one point behind league winners Hastings on the day and in a very comfortable 3rd place overall. Liam Dunne allowed the leading pack to gain a few metres in the early stages but used his strong finishing speed to overhaul but the eventual winner, Ethan Fincham from Worthing based Team Synergy.
Ned Potter was equally impressive in a close 5th and like Liam justifying his selection for the Sussex team for the National Inter-Counties UK Championships in March. Alfie Spurle had a good run in 19th followed by a brave run from Harry Sage feeling under par in 23rd and improving David Bisatt in 24th. The squad's three match total of 110 points was not quite enough to overtake Crawley in the silver medal spot but pulled Chichester well clear of the rest.
Senior Men Women
Before the fixture, Chichester's aim was to keep both the men's and women's senior teams in the top flight and despite a weakened men's squad, they claimed success on both fronts, the women by some margin but the men by the skin of their teeth.
In both cases this was achieved thanks to the youngest members of the senior part of the club with U20's filling all the top four places in the men's race and three out of the top four women to finish. First to cross the line for the women was 18-year old Alice Cox-Rusbridge who continued her fine winter season by winning the overall Sussex League title, the club's only individual gold of the day. Her 15th place overall at Bexhill was runner-up among the U20's and gave her the Sussex League title from Becky Smart of local club Hastings.
Next home for Chichester was Maggie King, just 16 years old and 5th U17 to finish in 22nd place overall. The surprise of the team was Rachel Laurie in 50th and 5th U20 that gave her a deserved league bronze medal. U23 Sophie Wright closed the scoring team in 56th place to ensure League 1 status next season. Running for an incomplete veteran's team were Amanda Godfrey in 72nd overall and Sue Baker in 81st.
In the men's race, Leo Stallard had his best run of the season to finish in 10th place among the seniors closely followed by fellow U20 Ben Morton who had shown his form the previous weekend with a top 100 placing in the British Universities championships in Devon. Two more of Chichester's U20's packed well at Bexhill with Brodie Keates in 40th and Oliver Shergold in 60th.
Paul Stallard flew a lone flag for the club's seniors and veterans in 87th place and despite missing their 6th scorer, Chichester clung on to League safety in 6th place out of the eight top Division teams.
Juniors – U11, U13, U15
There was disappointment for the U13 boys who were lying in bronze medal position before the race but were without two of their top three on the day, both Harvey McGuiness and Fionn O'Murchu not able to run. Hal Edgar led the squad on the day and had an encouraging run in his first race back from injury with 9th place in a good quality field.
The other three Chichester runners all performed with credit and from a club point of view, all three will be in the same age group next season. Josh Dunne led the trio home in 30th, closely followed by Sam Tonks in 32nd and Josh Eaton in 37th. Despite their best efforts, they were just overtaken by a strong Brighton & Hove team to narrowly lose bronze by a mere 14 points over the season.
The club's U13 girl's squad has been improving all season and Chichester were able to field two complete teams on Saturday for the first time. Sisters Laila and Lillie Hellyer decided to step up an age group for this fixture from the U11's having reached their 11th birthday which is the qualifying requirement for the U13 age group. They were rewarded with 15th and 22nd respectively in a strong field with Isabel Isitt completing the "A" team in 30th followed by Grace Eminson in 37th, Gemma Appleton 38th and Marcie Faggetter in 40th for the "B" team.
For the U15's the girl's squad was Cerys Dickinson in 14th, Tamsin Anelay in 23rd and Nicole Boltwood 25th with reserve Rose Potter in 29th.
Archie Sadler was the club's only competitor in the U15 boy's race and had a good run in 20th while the whole day started as usual with the U11's with Millie Isitt 14th and Martha Eminson 20th in the girl's race and Sam Cato 20th in the boy's race.
