Giants Perform Major NFL Upset

By KRISTINE CRESPO STAFF WRITER

–––––––––––––––––––––

ARIZONA— The New York Giants won 10 games in a row while on the road, including the third coldest game in history at Green Bay. The New England Patriots won every single game they played this season. Both teams made it to the Super Bowl.

The Giants had the best pass rush defense with the most sacks, and Tom Brady held the record for the most touchdowns in a season.

Both teams were about to

go headto-head in the Super Bowl of a lifetime.

Chargers Shine in National Showcase

By MARK LENGIEZA STAFF WRITER

–––––––––––––––––––––

WEST HAVEN— The stage was set for the UNH women’s basketball team on Saturday, Feb. 2 and they did not disappoint. In front of a packed house and a national television crew from CSTV, the Chargers defeated the University of Bridgeport, 62-41, to improve their record to 13-7 (13-0 ECC). It was the first nationally televised game in UNH women’s basketball history.

The UNH faithful turned out for the largest crowd of the season, as 810 fans poured into the Charger gymnasium. They were full of energy, many of them sporting UNH colors and some even painted chests.

The crowd kept the team in the game from beginning to end, and the final score showed it.

Peterson Library: Things You Never Thought It Had

By Dan Osipovitch A weekly recap of the positives & negatives at UNH

Positives

Well I’m not sure all of you will agree with me that this goes in the positives, but the Giants won the Super Bowl!! I don’t take sides on this one, but eruptions of loud cheering, yelling, and screaming around the quad could be heard all the way down at Ruden. So apparently, this is a positive for some people!

Congratulations to the girl’s basketball team for a great victory!

It looks like the Rec. Center is getting a lot of use. In fact, I’ve seen a lot of faculty/ staff there in addition to students. I’m glad it’s being used and I hope it’s used to its full potential! There also seems to be a lot of great fitness programs and such that go on, making it quite awesome.

Negatives

As a native Massachusian, Celina was rooting for the Patriots to win the Super Bowl. Therefore, she views the Giants’ win as a negative.

I’ve heard plenty of people complaining about books not being at the bookstore or mix ups with orders and such. I’m not pointing any fingers, but I know it is an inconvenient hassle which will hopefully soon be completely resolved.

I don’t know if anyone else noticed but an abundance of grass suddenly appearred around the Recreation Center in its catalog.

Not only is that grass not there in real life, but it also looks terrible on the catalog. If you’re going to digitally image something, it should look real.

College libraries are often seen as staid, stodgy, stolid places, where students expect to only find the usual materials like books, periodicals, government documents, and research databases.

You will certainly find plenty of them at the Peterson Library.

But there just may be some things that are not quite what you would expect to find at this bastion of academic tradition. We would pose the following questions for the disbelievers out there.

In the Peterson Library would you expect to find… …A book entitled The Grouchy Ladybug? Well we have such a book in our Juvenile Literature Collection. Browse this collection on the library’s upper level, beyond the Z call numbers. Elementary education students will be happy to know

that Roald Dahl is up there with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Joanna Cole with some of her Magic School Bus books, Judy Blume with Fudge-a-Mania, and other classics. There are bat books and dinosaur books, ones about American icons like Paul Revere and Martin Luther King Jr., and about kidcool mysteries like the Bermuda Triangle and Stonehenge. Check out the activity kits and teaching materials in our Education Curriculum Collection while you’re there.

Search in the library catalog with quoteenclosed phrases like “juvenile literature collection” in ‘Keyword’ or use the catalog ‘Limit’ button to set ‘Location’ to these collections. …A libretto for Richard Wagner’s Parsifal? We actually have quite a large number of librettos and musical scores for well-known operas like Carmen, The Magic Flute, La Travi-

ata, and many others, as well as American musical classics like Camelot, My Fair Lady, Oklahoma, The Sound Of Music, West Side Story, and more.

We also have scores for classical orchestral works by Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, and the rest of the musical alphabet.

These resources are perhaps not surprising since undergraduate programs in music are among UNH’s largest. Come over and browse the M call numbers on the upper level or ‘Limit’ your catalog search to ‘Item Type’ and ‘Music Score’ and use music as the ‘Keyword’ search term. …A music CD

Letter Discovered On Fish

student, was written STAFF WRITER in commemoration of ––––––––––––––––– the school’s 120th anniversary in 1993.

Natsumi Shirahige, A letter written by now a 21-year-old unia young girl in Japan fifteen years ago was versity student, sent found last week on a the letter into the sky fish that was hauled up with a personal mesfrom a depth of 3,300 sage. The letter read, feet below the Pacific “Our school is 120 Ocean. The letter, years old... If you pick written by a six-year- up this letter, please old elementary school write to me” and then

listed the school’s address.

The 52-year-old fisherman found the still-legible letter stuck to a sticky flatfish. The letter was accompanied by torn string and the remains of the red balloon that brought it skyward 15 years ago.

The fisherman told the Asahi television

network in Japan that finding the letter was a pleasant surprise.

“I've been in fishing for a long time but this is unbelievable,” he said.

When interviewed, Shirahige said, “I can't get over the wonder of how the letter survived 15 years. I never expected I'd get a reply this way.”

ers, Hinckley has been seen for the past 13 years as a man of great optimism and respect. President Bush stated at his funeral, “While serving for over seven decades in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Gordon demonstrated the heart of a servant and the wisdom of a leader. He was a tireless worker and a talented communicator who was respected in his community and beloved by his congregation.”

Hinckley was con-

stantly trying to bring out a good name for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which has always been a controversial topic amongst the more populous Christian religions due to its polygamist nature. President Bush, and the hundreds of other mourners who gathered in his name, hope to keep his spirit alive.

Gordon B. Hinckley’s strides for the Mormon Church will be furthered by the election of a new

president, due within the next few weeks.

Also, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney hopes to take office as the first Mormon President of the United States, a step that would bring the Mormon religion, and all the changes presented by Hinckley, into the limelight.

Gordon B. Hinckley will always be remembered by the supporters of the Mormon Church as one of the most underestimated and underappreciated leaders of all time.

Searchers hunt for 2 missing skiers at Lake Tahoe; hiker also missing in SoCal SAN FRANCISCO— Fresh snow added to the pressure on rescuers hoping Monday to find two skiers who have been lost near Lake Tahoe through two nights of plunging temperatures.

Patrick Frost, 35, and Christopher Gerwig, 32, both of San Francisco, were reported missing Saturday night at the Alpine Meadows resort just north of Lake Tahoe, said Placer County sheriff's Sgt. Allan Carter.

Frost and Gerwig, described as expert skiers, had last been seen Saturday morning at a resort bar listening to advice about different outlying areas to ski. During the night, the area had temperatures in the 20s, high wind and heavy snow.

"I would say if they sought shelter, and they're not wet and not caught in an avalanche zone, then their chances are good," Placer County sheriff's Sgt. John Giovannini said.

In Southern California, meanwhile, rescuers searched for 53-year-old Ellen Coleman of Riverside, who was reported missing Sunday, possibly on the east face of Mount San Jacinto. Coleman rode a tramway to roughly 8,500 feet elevation, and intended to try to hike to the summit, around 10,800 feet, according to the Riverside County sheriff's department.

Investigation continues in suspect shooting EAST HARTFORD, Conn.— State police are continuing their investigation into the fatal shooting of a suspect during a high speed chase that ended on Interstate 84 over the weekend.

State police have tentatively identified the man who was shot and killed Saturday night, but have not released his name.

Authorities say the incident began at a Hartford service station with a report of a man with a weapon. When police responded, the man sped away and began a chase that went through Hartford streets.

The suspect's sport utility vehicle stopped on its own near the I-84 and I-384 split in East Hartford.

I-84 was shut down until early Sunday while investigators gathered evidence.

Children make up a portion of patients in US military hospitals CHICAGO— U.S. military hospitals treated a significant number of wounded and sick children in the early years of the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, a new study finds, and military doctors say children keep arriving at their hospitals today.

With no true front line or battle zone, the war makes children especially vulnerable to stray bullets and other combat hazards, one study author said. And with Iraq's own medical system collapsing, families seek out the U.S. military to help their children with more conventional ailments.

SCOPE Presents Dan in Real Life

By MIA BECKER STAFF WRITER

–––––––––––––––––

WEST HAVEN— To accommodate for the harsh and rainy weather that welcomed students for their first official weekend from winter break, SCOPE presented Dan in Real Life on Friday, Feb. 1.

A romantic comedy with dark undertones, the story surrounds a widowed father (played by Steve Carell) and his three coming-of-age daughters. The four travel to an annual family gathering where Carell encounters a magnetic and interesting woman on a local morning errand, soon to find out she is his brother's new girlfriend. The story grows as the two characters yearn to be together.

The film has many comedic sequences due to the awkward-

ness that seems to shadow Carell's character through out the film. In the end, all

You’re Just a Lame, Lame Duck With Super Tuesday last week and the upcoming presidential election in November, you’d think George W. Bush would be trying his best to leave the American population with a strong, solid, and loving association with his name. It is no doubt that the President is a kind, warmhearted individual who has simply made a few simple errors in his judgment.

Hah! Who the bloody hell am I kidding.

Epitomizing the term “lame duck,” President Bush had his wife speak at this past week’s national radio address. First Lady Laura Bush spoke in Kansas City about promoting healthy living and heart-disease prevention.

"President Bush has handed the mic over to me," she said, "And today, I'd like to talk about something that's close to my heart — America's

day Mr. B. also tried to raise awareness, signing a proclamation declaring February as American Heart Month.

heart health."

Let me preface this by saying that yes, I sincerely appreciate Mrs. Bush addressing this heart-pressing (sorry) issue. But it’s the “perfect timing” that somewhat both-

ers me.

Whether this is a ploy against the Democrats to touch upon healthcare and health rights as Republicans seemingly so rarely do, or if this is a legitimate plea for attention – it is true that the First Lady is ambassador for the Heart Truth, a campaign to educate women about the risks of heart disease and the steps to prevent it. Mrs. Bush said the disease affects more than 80 million people in the U.S. and claims the life of one American each minute.

Thus, I fully believe that Mrs. Bush was being completely sincere.

But alas! Those of you who believe that President Bush is truly a lame duck must be mistaken! For last Fri-

One of the main reasons I decided to go to school here was its size. Leaving high school in a class of 146 people, I knew that a big school would not provide the right learning environment for me.

When I was applying for schools, UNH was the only one that claimed to have class sizes under 20 people.

I was confident that class sizes that small would provide me with the personal attention that I need in order to learn to my fullest potential.

Due to the fact that I chose this school because of its size, I was disheartened when President Kaplan said that we were approaching our 5,000 student goal at last year’s Scholarship Ball. Having 5,000

students here might be his goal, but it is certainly not mine.

First of all, where are we planning on putting 5,000 students? The residence halls definitely don’t have room for an increase in resident students.

On the other hand, there is definitely not enough parking for an increase in commuter students. Being much bigger than the other existing classes, there was a noticeable difference when this year’s freshman class arrived.

As enrollment sizes increase, I can’t imagine that the campus will be nearly as comfortable as it used to be. The hallways will be more crowded, the cafeteria will be infinitely full, and the grass will undoubtedly

get ripped apart again (and we all know how obsessed we are with green grass here).

You need to be able to comfortably accommodate a larger amount of people before you just let them in. You need to have enough place settings before you invite more people to dinner.

Also, I’m concerned about how this increasing enrollment will affect class sizes.

Someone I know is in a class of 40 students.

I am sitting in a computer class with 82 students in it.

I am not the most computer savvy person (except for newspaper layout programs, of course). It really concerns me to sit in a class where the professor doesn’t know my name. I fear that if I get lost, I am

Reviews of restaurants in the New Haven area for your dining pleasure

By Kaitlyn Glatt

Hot Tomato’s at the Taft- New Haven

The first thought that ran through my mind when I entered Hot Tomato’s was, “Wow, I can’t believe how much I’m not going to be able to afford this place.” As I was glancing down at the menu, I was only half correct on my assumption. Although this restaurant and bar is very beautiful (considering it used to be the Grand Ballroom in the old Taft Hotel), I was surprised to see that they can accommodate the average college student.

As I went upstairs into the main dining room, I had a rush of

happiness flow over me. The ceilings have intricate carvings in them that give the restaurant a soothing and formal mood.

Along with the mountainous height of the ceilings and the mahogany wood bar, the atmosphere was very appealing to me and I was anxious to see what kind of experience I was going to have.

The waitress came over for our orders and I knew that the first thing we had to order was one of their famous martinis. I can’t even begin to describe how delicious those

Strange Wilderness: Not Funny Enough to be a Comedy

By DAVID FIELD AND GREG DICKINSON STAFF WRITER

–––––––––––––––––

Starring Steve Zahn (Rescue Dawn, Saving Silverman), Jonah Hill (Superbad, Knocked Up), and Justin Long (Live Free or Die Hard, Accepted) Strange Wilderness is a comedy created

by Happy Madison Productions, the same people who brought you I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, Click, and Grandma’s Boy. This film focuses on a wildlife crew who are confronted with an ultimatum to either increase their show’s ratings or be cancelled in two weeks. With minimal funds and a group of talentless and inept individuals, the desperate crew goes on the trail of big foot to save their nature show, Strange Wilderness. Despite their best efforts, Peter Gaulke (Zahn) and friends have the worst of luck, getting into unforeseen trouble throughout their journey.

Strange Wilder-

ness suffers from one major flaw as a comedy...it’s not funny. It strives for gross-out humor but instead you are left feeling grossed-out and wondering how anyone, without the aid of nitrous oxide or other drugs, could laugh at this.

The biggest problem with this film is its writing. While watching this you have to ask yourself if the writers’ strike is to blame, or an untalented cast, or even the economy, but sadly enough none of those things are true.

The script was written well beforehand, and yet it still felt incomplete as though the actors were forced to make it up as they went along. Situations were introduced with no explanation, reason, or thought, simply to be forgotten suggesting the writers may suffer from ADD. The cast is made up of numerous seasoned actors and comedians who struggle to make poor material work. We have seen their comedic talents

before: Zahn, who succeeded in playing the humorous idiot in Saving Silverman, Hill who stole the show in Superbad, and Long who provided the comedic relief in Live Free or Die Hard. Unfortunately, in Strange Wilderness their performances fall flat and perhaps so much talent is overcrowding.

As for the economy, well that’s just a poor excuse.

Strange Wilderness was not screened for critics and this doesn’t come as much of a surprise; the filmmakers new it was bad and wanted to avoid poor reviews over opening weekend. With only two or three minutes of laughs and a run time of 87 minutes you are left with a lot of time wondering how this film made it to theaters. Worse than that, if you have seen the trailer then you’ve already watched those two or three minutes.

Bottom line, this isn’t a film worth paying to see in the theaters or at home. Borrow it on DVD or dupe a friend to rent it, but do not waste your money.

Mars Volta Returns with Epic Album bands as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.

The song “Agadez” has a very catchy chorus with distorted under tones: “I'm nowhere near this place you wear/ It's unforgivable, it knows that I am visible/ I'm broken mirrors and useless prayer/ This lock is healing me, ya know you come so willingly,” vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala sings.

“Ouroboros” continues the epic battle successfully carrying between two choruses. The closing song “Conjugal Burns” is the most stripped down song on the album and goes back to an earlier sound: “Just so you know/There’s too many reasons…

All of this time/ Bedsore containment/ Where am I now that the music has faded?”

Bixler-Zavala wails.

The album was produced by guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and mixed by Rich Costey. It was recorded between both the East Coast and West Coast, sharing studio time between Los Angeles and the homestudio of RodriguezLopez in New York.

Guests on the record include the Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante who, like bass player Flea before, was an active participant on the album.

Mars Volta embarked on a US tour in January, stopping at a sold-out show downtown at Toad’s Place on Jan. 11. The tour continues into Europe until the spring. For more information on Mars Volta visit http:// www.thebedlam.net/.

Opening with an explosive release of cosmic energy, Mars Volta’s The Bedlam in Goliath pulls you in right away. The album, which was released on Tuesday, Jan. 29, is the band’s fourth studio album.

With unique mix of progressive rock, psychedelic sound effects, and multicultural fragments of music the album is infectious.

Tracks “Aberinkula" and "Metatron” bleed nicely into each other as “Cavalettas” is full of head pounding sounds that loop for almost ten minutes; the longest song on the album. “Tourniquet Man” pays tribute to the stylistic sound of 70s hard rock of such

Giants Defeat the Undefeated

that whoever has won the coin toss in past Super Bowls has never won the game.

Domenik Hixon did the kick off to the Giants.

Throughout the first quarter, quarterback Eli Manning had a lot of third down conversions. The end of the first quarter put the Giants at 3 and Patriots at 0.

This Super Bowl held the most plays on any opening drive in Super Bowl history.

In the second quarter, the Patriots scored a touchdown that put them ahead by four, making the score at the end of the second quarter 7-3. Other big plays prior to halftime included Toomer’s rush to catch the ball, resulting in his fall out of bounds and an interception by Patriots Ellis Hobbs III. The Patriots’ leading halftime record at Super Bowl was 32-7.

The Halftime Show was performed

by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The group performed on a heart-shaped guitar stage that was lit with red, white, and yellow flashing strobe lights. Tom Petty opened with “American Girl,” while thousands ran across the field to the stage. Tom Petty stated that Super Bowl is the largest crowd he has ever played for and has been practicing for the past three months.

The group then performed “Stand My Ground” and finished with their hit “Free Fallin’,” while the group swayed back and forth. An encore of “Workin’ on a Mystery” was performed last.

The third quarter began with Brady having difficulty making throws. It was obvious the teams were slowling down in strength and stamina. In the fourth quarter, Kevin Boss caught a pass.

Kevin Boss, along with Brad Shaw and Steve Smith, were the three rookies of the Giants and were a big reason why the Giants made it to the Super Bowl.

The unrelenting Giants defense held off the Patriots offense consistently, managing to make the Patriots enter the fourth quarter with only seven points.

With 12 minutes left in the game, Steve Smith was first and 10 from the 12-yard line.

With 11:45 left in the game, the Giants got ahead by three points (10-7). Kevin Boss started the play that put the Giants ahead, with the 45-yard line catch. David Tyree made the touchdown.

The Patriots countered with the slant route plays (a tough thing for the Giants considering this was how the Patriots beat the Giants the last time they met), in which Moss attempted to run. At one point, Moss was open, but Brady overthrew the ball. At the thirdand-seven, there was an incomplete pass.

At the fourth-andseven at the 49-yard line, the Patriots had to punt and the Giants received the ball their 29-yard line. Manning passed and Burress missed the pass after being wide open at the third-and-nine.

With 7:54 left in the game, the Patriots had possession of the ball on the 20-yard line af-

ter the Giants punted.

The Giants needed to pressure the Patriots and allow time to run off the clock.

Randy Moss caught low at 4:12 on a pass from Brady. The Giants’ only job at this point was to pressure the Patriots’ quarterback. With 3:12 left on the clock, Moss scored a touchdown to take the lead 14-10 with only two minutes left to play.

With 1:59 left, the Giants had an incomplete pass. With 1:22 left, the Giants scored a first down. There was a 5-yard run by Manning, and the Giants kept the ball.

With one minute left on the clock, Manning threw a complete pass to Tyree. The Giants called their second timeout, with one left.

The Giants got the first down on the 24.

The Giants used their final timeout and then Manning made the second-and-eleven at the line of scrimmage.

Manning was marked down at the 25. Smith was at the first down inside the 74 without going out. With a series of swift plays, the Giants scored a touchdown, putting them in the lead 17-14, with 35 seconds left on the clock. At the secondand-ten, New England lost the down after an incomplete pass. With 10 seconds left on the clock, the third-andtwenty was incomplete. With one second left, the Giants were asked to hike the ball, even though the coach had already called the end of the game.

Unfortunately, the Patriots would have been the second team in NFL history to play a whole season undefeated. The only team

to ever accomplish this was the 1972 Miami Dolphins. MVP player Eli Manning brought the Giants to the end of the Super Bowl despite his record of 27 interceptions in the regular season. Check out NFL.com for highlights and analysis of the game, and don’t miss the NFL Pro Bowl this Sunday, Feb. 10.

During pauses in the game, the cameras caught a glimpse of some of the bigger stars at the game, including Pam Anderson, Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey, Kate Hudson, Keri Russell, LL Cool J, and of course, Gisele Bundchen, girlfriend of New England Patriots star Tom Brady (reports as of Feb. 4 state that the two are no longer romantically linked).

The big commercials of the night included stars from the shows of House and Prison Break, the Bud light cavemen, Audi, Diet Pepsi Max, the new GMC Hybrid, American Idol, Planters Peanuts, Justin Timerblake’s Pepsi Max commercial starring Saturday Night Live’s Adam Samberg, the GEICO cavemen, Comcast HD, the Daytona 500, Carmen Electra and Ice Breakers, and Richard Simmons. The best commercial was Stewie (of Family Guy) and Underdog fighting over a bottle of coke. Who won? Visit www.myspace.com/superbowlads to find out.

Rambo Tagline Being Used by Students

to find missionaries captured by Myanmar soldiers, who are shown razing villages and killing civilians.

Myanmar's military crushed pro-democracy protests led by students and Buddhist priests last year.

Stallone filmed Rambo, which has yet to be released in Asia, on a river bordering Myanmar and neigh-

boring Thailand.

He issued a challenge to the ruling military.

"If they think this movie is a fantasy, I welcome the opportunity to let me come over there and walk around the country without armed guards following me every inch of the way," he said.

LOS ANGELES— Sylvester Stallone says his latest Rambo film and its tag line are inspiring real-life opponents of Myanmar's military rulers.

"Either live for something, die for nothing — it's your choice," the 61-yearold actor-director said Saturday, Feb. 2 in a phone call from Paris, where he is promoting the movie, the fourth in a series.

"Students have now used this film as a rallying point and are using the quote, thinking maybe the American military will intervene and save them," he said.

Anticipated Match-up Brings in Ratings

con’t from page 8

vid Letterman's Late Show on Monday, but travel delays in Arizona pushed his appearance back to Wednesday.

An eye-popping 81 percent of all TV sets on in the Boston area Sunday were tuned in to the game. In New York, the audience share was 67 percent.

There were signs even before game time that Fox could be headed for a record.

The opportunity for a team to make history with football's first 19-0 record was a powerful draw. The Giants and Patriots also had a tight contest in late December that drew strong ratings.

The Giants' underdog run had also captivated the nation's largest media market, making up for the only

potential weakness in the event as a drawing card: the lack of geographical diversity in the competing teams.

There were past Super Bowls with higher ratings, topped by the 1982 game between San Francisco and Cincinnati (49.1 rating, 73 share). That indicates a larger percentage of homes with televisions were watching the game.

But since the American population has increased, along with the number of people with TVs, the actual number of people watching this year was higher.

The Giants-Patriots game's actual rating (43.2 rating, 65 share) was the highest for any Super Bowl since 2000. That means 43 percent of the nation's households with TV were tuned in to the

game, and 65 percent of the TV sets that were turned on were watching football.

The 97.5 million figure represents the game's average viewership during any given minute. Nielsen said that a total of 148.3 million watched at least some part of the game.

Goren said ratings were stronger than usual for Fox's pregame show, crediting the decision to add a show biz element with Ryan Seacrest to a program often usually only hardcore football fans could love.

Fox, a division of News Corp., charged $2.7 million for 30 seconds of advertising time on the game, and that may have been a bargain.

Celina’s Salacious Celebrity Gossip Brit gets mental help I’m not going to say much about it because I know we are all sick of hearing about it, but Britney Spears was involuntarily admitted to the UCLA Medical Center last Thursday, Jan. 31. According to TMZ.com, she has been diagnosed with sever Bipolar Disorder and is set to stay at the hospital for 14 days to undergo treatment.

All I can say is that I hope Brit gets better and the press backs off a little bit so that she can actually get the treatment she needs.

Gwen Stefani, former lead singer of 90’s pop/ska band No Doubt, announced that she is pregnant with her second child.

Stefani and hubby Gavin Rossdale, also lead singer of a 90’s rock band (Bush), live in England with their

one-year-old son, Kingston. The adorable trio will obviously just grow more lovable with another baby, who will doubtlessly be just as fashionable as the rest of this rock n’ roll fam.

Of course, this whole baby thing will put a halt to the anticipated No Doubt reunion that was supposed to happen this year. But I’m not worried. After launching a successful solo career, a fashion line, a perfume, and being a great mom since Kingston was born, I’m confident that the reunion will still happen eventually.
