No one could have predicted that scoreline. Finally, the eastern(ish) half of Sydney has cause to celebrate their football team this season. Next up, Sydney FC travel to AAMI Park to play Melbourne Victory. That will certainly test the Sky Blues' new-found confidence. Can't wait.
Full-time: Del Piero on the sideline: "Really happy but 7-1 is like 1-0. It's three points and we concentrate on the next one." On Griffiths, he says: "Nice, he play very good… we are very happy with him on our team."
Joel steps up to return the favour. On the vibe among his teammates, he says: "It's definitely up there. Confidence is high. It helps when Del Piero is on song. For myself especially … he's a genius." More generally, he adds: "We worked well off the ball and I think it showed … Felt like a first day at school for me today. Probably could have got more minutes to be honest."
93rd minute: Ifill puts the ball into the stands, Alex Smith tries to curl one in. Both to no avail as time winds down on a humiliating defeat.
89th minute: There's no mercy rule in this game unfortunately for Wellington. Brockie, though, plays in Ifill, whose shot, from an awkward angle, somehow hits the underside of the bar. Brockie gets the second (or third) ball but can't shoot past Janjetovic. The keeper has had a lot to do tonight despite the scoreline.
88th minute: Durante seizes on a loose ball but thumps it straight at Janjetovic. Emerton doesn't do much better at the other end, shooting from an acute angle and finding the side netting.
84th minute: YAU GOAL! From broken play, Yau plays a one-two through a deserted Phoenix defence. It's all too easy, and his right-foot stunner mocks poor Paston in goal. That smacked of capitulation by Phoenix.
83nd minute: The sting has gone out of the game somewhat, until Del Piero's number is called. He's being replaced by Powell. Standing ovation. He acknowledges the crowd.
79th minute: The words "carnage" and "entrails" are being used in the commentary box to describe the damage wrought on the sorry Phoenix. But what word for this… ? Sigmund GOAL! Ifill crossed from the right and Sigmund had no marker to contend with. We'll use the words "desperate consolation". Doesn't quite have the same sense of dismemberment, however.
75th minute: Correction. It was poor Durante bamboozled by the dancing feet of The Artist known as ADP. Ifill has a crack at a volley from a speculative ball and it swerves violently wide. Looked an act of frustration but more likely he feels, what the hell?
He cuts inside then jinks back behind the defender, in this case Bertos, on the fringes of the box. Del Piero just takes his time with way too much space and class. Another perfect curling shot gives Paston no chance. Finally, the resilient Del Piero fans in Turin have something to cheer at some ungodly hour.
70th minute: FOUR GOALS DEL PIERO!!!!!!
65th minute: Griffiths gets a good reception when he's brought off for Yau. Silence for Huysegems when he makes way for the talismanic Ifill. Lochhead's cross is headed into the arms of Janjetovic by Brockie as he falls away across the goal line.
60th minute: Sanchez goes for a jinking run but his final shot is off target. Boyd makes amends somewhat by forcing a foul when cutting back inside the Sydney defence. The two subsequent corners come to nought. Del Piero this time gets the ball through but Culina is ruled offside.
59th minute: Bertos delivers a great cross from the right, and the ball breaks for Tyler inside the box. The youngster needs to pull the trigger but hesitates while looking to shoot off his less dominant foot.
55th minute: Identical situation for Del Piero. Plenty of space coming out of defence and his pass is just intercepted. One of these might bisect the defence yet. The Italian grasps his head. McLenahan on for Calvano.
52nd minute: Fabio on the break, in an advancing three-on-three situation. He blasts the ball on the angle but Paston gets a right hand to the ball. Parried away. Del Piero was unmarked on the inside. Missed chance for 6-0.
51st minute: Del Piero again with swathes of space out of defence and into midfield. He threads the needle and Durante only just gets a boot to the pass that would have found Griffiths with just the keeper to beat.
46th minute: Brockie fouls Fabio just after the restart. Sigmund brings down Del Piero from behind to earn a yellow card. The Italian is sprawled out on the pitch. Herbert may have given them the word in the sheds: get serious, get physical. Glancing header from Griffiths a shade off target from a Culina free kick. It followed good build-up work from Sydney with Culina ever-present.
Half-time: Don't know about the players, but I need a breather. Most uncharacteristic, Sydney. Most uncharacteristic. Five goals in a half? Tell 'em they're dreamin'. Back soon.
46th minute: Two minutes of added time. Del Piero hasn't been allowed this much space in a while and he looks likely every time he's on the ball. The early goals opened up a game that was already likely to be a bit fast and loose.
44rd minute: Whoever prayed to Jude, the patron saint of hopless causes, has obviously been listening. At this rate, with Sydney's goal difference narrowing very quickly, they could be in the top six by 7.30 tonight. Bertos delivers a free kick from the right but Janjetovic tips it away.
40th minute: I had to double check the scoreboard. Five-nil? Wake me up. Meantime Grant has a bash to bring the stats closer to parity. It's now 13-8 in terms of shots on goal. The surprise? Phoenix are leading on that count.
39th minute: HAT-TRICK DEL PIERO! Pandemonium!! Calmly cut back in from the left, curling right-foot shot gives Paston no chance. Bertos was mesmerised.
34th minute: Frankie's animated on the sideline but he must be pleased. Sydney, on the break via Griffiths, surge forward. Grant plays a one-two in the box his cross is saved and play moves rapidly down the other end where Boyd has another shot on goal. Again Janjetovic saves well.
30th minute: They're shell-shocked. No one in their right mind could have forseen this. On their knees. And that's just the Sydney FC fans giving thanks to whatever diety inspired this madness. Huysegems butchers another chance, heading tamely into the side netting. Sanchez launches a bomb, saved by Janjetovic, and then Brockie directs a his curling header straight at the keeper. Wellington have had plenty of shots on goal but they're lacking the kind of grace attending the locals tonight. Now Boyd puts one wide.
26th minute: IMPOSSIBLE. It's 4-0! Culina right-foot volley from the corner of the box. Sydney fans are delirious. Including last week's late brace, Sydney have now scored 6 goals in 35 minutes.
23rd minute: GOAL! Del Piero. Penalty. Wild scenes here at SFS. Very lucky penalty to be given after Culina was clattered into in the box by Durante. They both appeared, at first glance, equally culpable. But The Cove don't care! First time this season they're scored three in a game. And in 23 minutes no less. Joel Giffiths has had a bit of an impact.
The maestro toyed with the Wellington defenders in the box, turning this way and then that, before launching the perfect strike goal bound.
21st minute: GOAL! Del Piero. Here we go. Here we go.
19th minute: It's end to end action. Ryall puts the ball into the net off a neat turn in the box but it's a hand ball. Earlier, Fabio blazed over the bar with space to burn on the left.
16th minute: Del Piero is fouled but off the restart floats a wonderful ball to Emerton on the right. Emo finds Griffiths timing his run into the box to perfection but the header goes awry. Moments later, Huysegems volleys into the side netting at the other end.
14th minute: Rhyan Grant does well to block Jermey Brockie, who had got in behind the Sydney defence. Replays show Griffiths' reaction to his goal: he jumped the hoardings but otherwise restrained himself. One goal a good return for under 10 minutes work in the sky blue.
12th minute: Janjetovic makes a simple save from a weak header.
Del Piero through ball released Griffiths, who beat the offside trap this time and got the faintest of touches to the ball. That touch was enough to beat the advancing Phoenix keeper Paston.
11th minute: GOAL to Griffiths on debut!
9th minute: Finally Griffiths gets a run on and Abbas puts him in the clear down the left again. Offside. Joel gives a rueful shake of the head. Strikers always thing they're onside.
7th minute: Griffifths gets a first touch and it goes straight over the sideline. Ignominious beginning. Emerton then releases Fabio on the left and he's brought down unceremoniously by young Tyler Boyd.
4th minute: Wellington dominating the early possession with Leo Bertos prominent. Stein Huysegems is put through on goal for a one on one with Janjetovic but he fluffs his shot. Weak effort.
Terry McFlynn with the armband. Tiago Calvano and Joel Griffiths come straight into the Sydney FC line-up.
Joel Griffiths hasn't watched Sydney FC's last two matches. He says he prefers not to muddy his "canvas" with preconceptions about how his new side plays. After all, the 33-year-old is onto his 10th professional club. He knows to play the ball to Del Piero's feet and into space for Emerton. Given the Sky Blues' disjointed recent displays, it's probably a good approach as he makes his debut.
The Phoenix have been similarly discombobulated, thrown into a state of confusion by an owner dictating the game plan before hearing it from the coach. The all-new, all-attacking Phoenix is a work in progress. It's the perfect time for Sydney to play the Wellingtonians. At stake is who sits where on the bottom three rungs of the ladder.

This is the fourth section of a booklet that I put together for my father-in-law's 96th birthday. His parents were Clifford Franklin and Bertha Bryan Blackmore. Section four is about Clifford's maternal grandparents. Future postings will include the other parents and grandparents of Clifford and Bertha and will include Blincow and Doyle surnames. I have also included information about the siblings of these direct ancestors.
William Blincow and Betsy W Howe
William A Blincow was born on 7 December 1831 in England. He was baptized on 22 August 1835 in Long Buckby, Northamptonshire, England. William A Blincow was the son of William Blincow and Elizabeth Robinson.
On 16 October 1860, William married Betsy Wikes Howe in England. Betsy was born on 26 January 1838 in Long Buckby, England, the daughter of William Howe and Elizabeth Kilsby.
William and Betsy had eight children. Five were born in England: William, Richard, Frederick Howe, Mary Elizabeth, and Eliza Helen. They immigrated on 1 May 1872. Then three children (Frank Robert, Ada Louise and George) were born in Nebraska. Both first and second papers for naturalization were filed in York County, Nebraska. In 1880 William was a farmer. The family moved to Kansas sometime before 1894. In 1900 William was a clerk for the district court in Thomas County, Kansas.
William died on 10 July 1903 in Colby, Kansas. In the 1910 census Betsy has her son George living with her. The 1915 Kansas State Census showed that Betsy was living with J A Horning and Nellie. Nellie was one of her daughters. Betsy died on 17 December 1915 in Norton, Kansas. Both William and Betsy were buried in Beulah Cemetery, Colby, Thomas County, Kansas. The headstone also has George listed on it.
Children of William and Betsy Blincow
William Blincow was born on 23 August 1861 in Long Buckby, England. William married Minnie Rose Stauffer on 27 June 1894 in Colby, Kansas. Minnie was born in October 1876 in Jewell County, Kansas. They had three children: Bessie May, Ivy Pearl and Wayne Albert, all born in Kansas before 1900.
William and Minnie obviously had moved their family to Colorado before 1917. A newspaper clipping showed that Minnie's mother was visiting and there was an accident where Wayne Blincow ran into a car while avoiding a boy who had been knocked off of his bicycle by a horse. Confusing???
In 1920, the family was living in Fort Lupton, Colorado. William was a farm operator there. In 1930 William and Minnie were living in different counties in Kansas. William was living with a family and working on their farm. Minnie was listed as "sister in law" in a Stoefer family, but I believe she was really an aunt.
Minnie died on 27 October 1938 in Spokane, Washington at age 62. I wonder if, when she died, she was visiting her son Wayne Albert Blincow, his wife Anna and their children, since in 1940 they all lived in Spokane.
William died on 19 August 1946 in Weld County, Colorado at age 84. Both of them were buried in Mizpah Cemetery, Platteville, Colorado.
Richard Blincow was born on 24 October 1864 in Long Buckby, England. He immigrated with his parents in 1972. He married Lydia Annetta Rebecca Brown on 25 June 1893 in Colby, Thomas County, Kansas. Lydia was born on 3 February 1875 in Colby, Kansas and was the daughter of Reuben Scott Brown and Lucretia Jane "Creta" Atteberry.
Richard and Lucretia Blincow had seven children: Gertrude Edith, Clyde Lawrence, Elmer Arthur, Grace Lucretia, Floyd Leslie, Mabel Mildred and Ruth Margaret Blincow. Richard worked as a farmer in Thomas and then in Nebraska.
Richard died on 23 November 1923 in Oxford, Furnas & Harlan Counties, Nebraska, at age 59. Lydia died on 13 June 1931, also in Oxford. Both of them are buried in Oxford Cemetery, Harlan County, Nebraska.
Frederick Howe Blincow was born on 14 May 1867 in Long Buckby, England. Frederick married Nellie Arene McConnell, daughter of Josiah W McConnell and Eliza E Cuddeback, on 7 November 1889 in York, York County, Nebraska. Nellie was born on 9 July 1873 in Bee-Town, Grant County, Wisconsin.
Frederick and Nellie had six children: Roy Malvin, Myrtle Irene, Guy Lloyd, Harold Laverne, Lyle Wayne and Josiah William Blincow. Fred worked as a farmer in Furnas County, Nebraska until at least 1940. In 1940 he was listed as a wd (widowed) and his son Lyle and family were living with him.
Nellie died at age 61 on 18 October 1934 in Oxford, Nebraska. Frederick died on 21 February 1962 in McCool Junction, York County, Nebraska, at age 84. Both of them were buried in Oxford Cemetery, Harlan County, Nebraska.
Mary Elizabeth "Polly" BLINCOW was born on 3 May 1869 in Long Buckby, England. She was the daughter of William A Blincow and Betsy Wikes Howe. She married George Marlin Blackmore in York, Nebraska on 30 December 1887. For more information about this family please see earlier blog postings.
Eliza "Nellie" Helen Blincow was born on 4 December 1870 in Long Buckby England. Eliza immigrated in 1872. She married John Andrew Horning about 1892. John was born about 1865 in Indiana. They had six children: Olive E, Ethel, William C, Alice H, Ruth and John Irvin Horning. John worked as a farmer in Norton County, from 1900 until at least 1940, according to US and Kansas State Census records.
John died I June 1950 in Kansas at about age 85 and Eliza died at about age 84 on 7 October 1955 in Kansas. They were both buried in Norton Cemetery, Norton, Kansas.
Frank Robert Blincow was born on 3 November 1872 in Fairmont, Nebraska. Frank married Millie Priscilla Brown, the daughter of Reuben Scott Brown and Lucretia Jane "Creta" Atteberry. Frank and Millie had three children: Harlan Robert, Ethel Irene and Homer Brown Blincow.
Frank seems to have been a farmer for his entire life, basically in Furnas County, Nebraska. In the 1940 census, the value of his property was listed as $2500.
Millie died on 29 December 1944 in Nebraska at age 65. Frank died on 19 June 1945 at age 72, also in Nebraska. They were both buried in Oxford Cemetery, Harlan County, Nebraska.
Ada Louise Blincow was born on 11 March 1873 in Fairmont, Nebraska. Ada married William Rupert Farris on 4 March 1898 in Mt Auburn, Iowa. William was born in March 1867 in Iowa. His parents were John W Farris and Rhoda C Potts. Ada and William had six children, all girls: Pearl H, Hazel I, Zella Mae, Wilma A, Grace H, and Vera M.
It appears that Pearl died before 1910, as she was not in the 1910 census with the rest of her family. William and Ada lived in Benton County for their entire lives. William was a farmer. In the 1940 census, they declared the value of their farm as $600.
William died at age 86 in 1953 in Benton County. Ada died on 15 April 1957 in Benton County at age 83. They were buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery in Benton County, Iowa.
George Blincow was born on 18 February 1877 in Fairmont, Nebraska. George moved to Kansas between 1880 and 1895. It appears that he lived in Thomas County for his entire life. In the 1910, 1920 and 1930 census records he indicated that he worked in a hotel. It also seems like he never married. He died on 11 January 1962 in Colby, Thomas County, Kansas, at age 73. He was buried in Beulah Cemetery, Colby, Kansas. The headstone lists George as well as his parents.

"Having worked in finance for several years after my undergraduate career, deciding to go back to school was a difficult decision for me. It was not until I visited Notre Dame for Admitted Students Weekend that I made up my mind that I wanted to go to law school, and more specifically that I needed to attend NDLS. The moment I stepped on campus I felt that camaraderie that I had heard so much about, and after attending I know it to be a genuine element of law school. The faculty obviously care about the student body and make an effort to get to know that students. Even in large classes the professors almost always know every student. The NDLS community also has a nice balance between work and play; there are copious opportunities to get involved in extra-curricular activities, clubs, and service. Don't be fooled- law school is hard and it requires a lot of work and even more of your time, but being a "different kind of lawyer" means doing more than spending time in class and in the library and that is something highly encouraged here. Finally, the connection students feel while attending Notre Dame does not end at graduation. The alumni community remains extremely connected and helpful to the current students. They are one of the most valuable resources available when finding jobs all over the country and are eager to assist students from their Alma Mater. I couldn't be happier with my time at Notre Dame and am looking forward to the rest of my law school career under the dome."

One week after Sandy slammed the tri-state, displacing tens of thousands of people from their homes, the city isn't ruling out any options for housing storm refugees, including hotel rooms or cash for people to make their own arrangements.
Mayor Bloomberg on Monday announced he has appointed a former OEM and FEMA official to come up with a plan.
Bloomberg said 30,000 to 40,000 New Yorkers may need to be relocated — a monumental task in a city where housing is scarce and expensive — though he said that number would probably drop to 20,000 within a couple of weeks as power is restored in more places.
Brad Gair, a former OEM deputy commissioner and federal coordinating officer from FEMA, will coordinate the plan to relocate them.
After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita smashed the Gulf Coast in 2005, hundreds of thousands of victims were put up by FEMA in trailers, hotels, cruise ships and apartments across several states for months and even years.
Gair said his first objective is to figure out the demand -- who needs help and how long will they need it. The next order of business, he said, is to find the solution. The range of options is "very wide," from hotels to cash from the federal government for people to secure their own housing.
"Everything will be on the table to start," he said.
Power has been restored to nearly 87 percent of customers who were blacked out in the storm in New York, but efforts to get everyone back on line could be hampered by more wet, windy weather on the way this week.
As temperatures sink into the 30s at night, Bloomberg said residents in public housing are a top concern; some 21,000 people have no electricity and 35,000 have no heat and hot water.
Across New York City, about 127,000 customers were still without power, down from an estimated 960,000 initially affected.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo railed against the utility companies tasked with bringing power back to communities hit hard by Superstorm Sandy.
At an afternoon news conference, he said that saying he was "angry, frustrated, disappointed would be the understatement of the decade."
He said it is understandable that getting the power back on takes time. However, he said the utilities were not communicating with residents who were depending on them to get their lives back to normal.
Meanwhile Monday, commuters streaming into New York City endured long waits and packed trains.
Trains were so crowded Monday on the Long Island Rail Road that dozens of people missed their trains. With PATH trains between New Jersey and Manhattan still out, lines for the ferry in Jersey City quickly stretched to several hundred people by daybreak. And NJ Transit shut down its North Jersey Coast Line after overcrowding.
One commuter in line pleaded into his cellphone, "Can I please work from home? This is outrageous," but many more took the complicated commute as just another challenge after a difficult week.
"There's not much we can do. We'll get there whatever time we can, and our jobs have to understand. It's better late than absent," said Louis Holmes of Bayonne, as he waited to board a ferry in Jersey City to his job as a security guard at the Sept. 11 memorial site.
The good news in New York City was that, unlike last week, service on key subway lines connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn under the East River has been restored. But officials warned that other water-logged tunnels still weren't ready for Monday's rush hour and that fewer-than-normal trains were running — a recipe for a difficult commute.
Bloomberg took the subway to work Monday. He was joined by many of the students returning to class in the nation's largest school system. About 94 percent of the 1,700 schools reopened for the first time since Sandy hit last Monday, and attendance was at 86 percent, the mayor said.
"You don't really realize how important a routine is until you're out of one," said 17-year-old Anna Riley-Shepard of the Upper West Side as she waited for her yellow school bus to her private school in the Bronx.
Repair crews have been laboring around-the-clock in response to the worst natural disaster in the transit system's 108-year history, MTA Chairman Joseph Lhota said Sunday.
"We are in uncharted territory with bringing this system back because of the amount of damage and saltwater in our system," Lhota said. "It's an old system ... and it's just had a major accident."
World Trade Center steam fitter Scott Sire got to Manhattan on time, at 6:05 a.m. off a regular Academy bus that took him from home in Hazlet, N.J. in 40 minutes. He normally takes a PATH train, but it's not running.
"Every day gets a little bit better," said the 49-year-old worker. "But we had a setback last night; we lost power, again, after a transformer blew — and the Cowboys lost, just after our lights went out!"
The MTA planned to take the unusual step of using flatbed trucks to deliver 20 subway cars to the hard-hit Far Rockaway section of Queens and set up a temporary shuttle line.
Sandy, which killed more than 70 people in the tri-state, also created a fuel shortage that has forced New Jersey to enforce odd-even rationing for motorists. But there was no rationing in New York City, where the search for gas became a maddening scavenger hunt in recent days.
Bloomberg said a police officer has been posted at each gas station open in the city to keep the peace.

THERE'S a knock at a hotel door. A table is wheeled in, and on it stands a silver ice bucket with a bottle of Champagne. The room service attendant smiles and backs out of the room to the sound of a marriage proposal being accepted, a cork exploding.
Those were the days.
And those days may soon be gone.
For hotels that have built themselves around satisfying the traveler's every need, room service has always been the definition of decadence. But that idea of service has been changing for many years. Before wheeled luggage was introduced in 1970, bellmen were a necessity, not a luxury. Just 10 years ago, when I worked as a front desk agent for a hotel in New Orleans, I used to watch guests wait five deep in line for the concierge, just to receive a cartoonlike map with their destination circled on it. Then came the iPhone, then the self-check-in kiosk.
Now, starting this summer, the New York Hilton Midtown, the city's biggest hotel, will stop offering room service. Who needs it, when every guest has MenuPages? So goodbye to the cloche — that polished, bell-shaped dome that is lifted off a plate to release a rush of steam and reveal a gourmet meal. And hello to the paper bag.
The truth is, I am not surprised by the Hilton's decision. The money has never made sense. The cost of keeping a kitchen active through the night, of paying the attendants to stay awake and caffeinated, has never been covered by the three drunk guests who order fries at 4 a.m.
So why would hotels, which are all about making a profit, even bother to provide this service in the first place?
Because it's expected. In fact, typically hotels must have room service in order to receive a four- or five-star rating from travel guides. So, begrudgingly, they have done it, if only to keep up appearances, even while offering lesser quality food and limited service.
And the guests have noticed. How many times in my long career as a hotelier have I been regaled with a tale about a magical room service experience? I can count the times on zero fingers. But it would take all the fingers in Midtown Manhattan to count how many times I've been battered by complaints: it was served cold, 30 minutes too late, with hidden fees. And the butter! It looked, "like, I don't know ... like it had been touched. Why would someone touch my butter?"
I don't know, ma'am. They probably wouldn't. It was most likely jostled on the rocky road from the kitchen, up the service elevator and, lastly, when the cart smashed against the door frame on its way into your room.
Guests are actually much better off, especially in Manhattan, opting for outside delivery. People seem to assume that restaurants in the area, good-quality restaurants, won't be able to find their way inside a hotel to a sequentially numbered door, but they can — and they can even do it at half the price of room service.
And yet I will still mourn the end of room service. Where else will we find those cute little mustard and ketchup jars? The reveal provided by the ceremonial lifting of the cloche? The decadence of it all, when you're dressed in nothing but a robe.
But the people who stand to lose the most are, of course, the innumerable hardworking room-service attendants who make a living providing this ancillary and apparently antiquated feature of hospitality. (The Hilton Midtown's move alone will reportedly cost 55 jobs.) Many room-service jobs are unionized, provide good health care and even supply the attendant with gratuities, all of which add up to a nice life.
And like many hotel positions, the skills needed to be a good room-service attendant do not translate very well to other jobs in other industries. Front-desk agents are best at front desking. Concierges are good at circling things on maps and putting you on hold. And room-service attendants are skilled at presenting a meal in a private space, elegantly served on a table with wheels. Where will they go in this new world?
For now, at least, I take comfort in the fact that the star-rating system remains, and that rock stars still demand the right to order 30 cheeseburgers and $3,000 worth of vodka and mixers at midnight. Until that changes, I doubt every hotel will follow the Hilton Midtown's path. Room service will limp on.
After all, hotels still offer you shoehorns, and I'm pretty sure no one has used those for at least 30 years.

The National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC) continued its state-by-state look at improvements in the nation's privately owned RV parks and campgrounds with a look this week at the state of Tennessee. Among the investments were the following:
- Adventure Bound Camping Resort, Gatlinburg: This Great Smoky Mountains area-park, whose amenities include a 500-foot waterslide and 14 cabin rentals, is spending $70,000 in swimming pool, water heating and other improvements this year.
- Big Meadow Family Campground, Townsend: This 77-site park spent about $10,000 this year adding new playground equipment and landscaping the area around the park's bathhouse. Other upgrades during the past two years include remodeling the bathhouse and adding deluxe supersites to better accommodate campers with big rigs.
- Caney Creek RV Resort, Harriman: This park has spent $200,000 on 20 new deluxe campsites in their own section, boosting the park to 178 sites. Each new campsite has cement pads and 50-amp electrical service.
- Deer Run RV Resort, Crossville: This 200-acre resort expects to invest about $45,000 in improvements this year. Major projects include resurfacing the resort's swimming pool and tennis courts, installing new wood flooring in its park- model cabin rentals, expanding the park's Wi-Fi service, upgrading electrical service in several areas and adding another pavilion to the chapel.
- Misty River Cabins & RV Resort LLC, Wallard: This park has recently invested $15,000 in various upgrades, including a new concession stand, and upgrades to its Wi-Fi system and safety improvements for its pool and hot tub.

Recently I've been thinking about dynamo (generator) hubs as an alternative to light systems with rechargeable batteries. Though Shimano makes several popular dyno hubs, the acknowledged gold standard is Schmidt Original Nabendynamo (SON). Schmidt makes the lightest hubs with the least amount of drag, but they are premium priced. You can buy the SON hubs direct through the US importer Peter White Cycles, though your LBS may already have a relationship with him.
Recently I did a tune-up on a bike with this particular wheel with SON hub and a Supernova E3 light. What I thought was particularly sweet was the fact that the light attached to a special nut on the quick release skewer. Thus the light came off with the wheel and would not need to be disconnected from the hub at all. Awesome! Easy to move the wheel from one bike to another, and powerful lighting without ever having to charge a battery.
If it were me, I would have built the wheel on a Mavic Open Pro Ceramic rim for better braking in the rain and vastly improved longevity in the grimy, wet NW winters.
One thing about dyno hubs….they all feel super notchy when you turn the axle in your hand. All of them. It's just the poles and magnets of the dynamo attracting each other. At speed your momentum while riding largely cancels this out, but just twiddling the axle in your hand makes it seem like the hub has something wrong with it.…

"Detail, perception, and sensitivity of whole surroundings. The combination of these qualities lives in Ketchum's work. And behind the exceptional work is a deeply committed and talented man." —Robert Redford
This majestic photograph by a modern master of the color landscape photograph of Larsen Sound presents one of Alaska's enduring natural wonders, in all its beauty, but reflecting also the short-sighted environmental damage inflicted on such places by industry and the federal government. This cibachrome color print is signed by Robert Glenn Ketchum and accompanied by a copy of Northwest Passage.
Robert Glenn Ketchum (born 1947) is a renowned color landscape photographer whose work often contains an environmental message. Since 1968, he has been in over 400 one-person and group shows, including at the Smithsonian Institution, the International Museum of Photography, and the George Eastman House in Rochester. He is the author of several photography books, including The Tongass (Aperture, 1987), credited with encouraging Congress's passage of the Timber Reform bill in 1990, and lives in California.

Orlando is a popular destination year-round attracting millions of visitors annually. In fact, Orlando welcomed 59 million visitors in 2013 and set a record for a U.S. destination. By comparison, New York City expects to tally 55 million visitors in 2014. These numbers say a lot about the popularity of Orlando as a destination and even more about how many flights fly in and out of the city every day. Orlando International is a busy airport, and there are cheap flights to be found.
Flexible dates around holidays and avoiding peak travel dates are the best ways to find cheap flights to Orlando. Booking last-minute flights might yield last-minute deals, but the smartest planning technique is to research flights a few months before departure. Setting up a fare alert is a great way to watch for cheap flights. Fare alerts will check flights to Orlando and let you know when the flights are cheapest by email.
Remember that cheap flights might be accompanied by multiple stops and early departures. Keep this in mind when booking a cheap flight. Arriving in Orlando early in the morning is great for maximizing the day, but it will also mean that the hotel is likely not ready for check-in. Plan ahead and book the flight that suits your travel needs best.
Great weather year-round means that there is never a true off-season in Orlando. However, there are peak times to avoid to book the cheapest flights. Spring break and long weekends such as Memorial Day are peak travel times for families. Peak travel times mean high airfare. When school is out, Orlando is at its highest capacity. Families flock to the theme parks all year-long. Peak airfare can be expected during school vacations; avoid those travel dates when in search of cheap airfare to Orlando. Also, expect higher hotel prices and families filling every shuttle to the theme parks.
Choose travel dates around early fall, February, and May to avoid the majority of the tourists. Consider searching for cheap flights to Orlando a few days before or after peak travel dates if you must travel during peak times. This will bring down the airfare as well as the accommodation costs. A big key to cheap flights and accommodation is flexibility. Many airfare studies show weekdays, specifically Tuesdays, are the cheapest days to fly. Flying in and out of Orlando on a weekend might be a convenient option, but it will also increase the overall travel costs. Accommodation costs are inflated, and theme park lines are long. This is why you should consider traveling on off-peak dates, which offer better deals and a more pleasant experience.
Orlando International Airport offers direct flights to 117 cities. Seventy-four airlines operate out of it, and 728 international flights depart from Orlando International every week. This makes finding a cheap flight to Orlando easier than many international airports due to the variety of popular airlines departing daily.
Direct flights to Orlando are often accompanied by higher airfare. Only consider this option if travel duration is a priority. Traveling with kids can be challenging when there are multiple layovers and long travel days. All major domestic airlines fly into Orlando. You should select your flight based on price, duration, and the number of layovers that suit your travel needs best.
A great method for booking a cheap flight is searching for alternative airports near your final destination. The closest airport to Orlando International is Central Florida Regional Airport; it is just 19 miles away. However, only five airlines operate out of Central Florida Regional Airport and fly to just 58 cities. This regional airport is an option for some; but for the majority, consider larger nearby airports that will offer a larger choice of fares and operating airlines.
The Daytona Beach airport is not far at only 50 miles from Orlando International, and the Tampa airport is just 80 miles away. For travelers with limited days off to travel or for those who are traveling with families, this might not be a suitable option. Flying into a nearby airport adds to the total transit time and will make for a longer day of travel. Longer travel days mean less time enjoying a vacation, so take this into consideration before booking a flight to a nearby airport.
However, if you are already planning on renting a car, flying to an airport near Orlando is a viable option to consider. When the airfare savings offset the extra travel time, nearby airports are always worth considering. When searching for flights to Orlando, don't forget to check flights to Daytona Beach and Tampa. They might offer lower fares or even direct flights to help you make your decision.
Upon arriving at Orlando International, passengers will have several ground transportation options should they forego a car rental to the city center. Orlando is only seven miles from the airport. Once you're at your hotel, you don't need a car as long as your hotel offers shuttles to the theme parks and attractions.
The main terminal at Orlando International offers a taxi stand, bus stop, and shuttle vans from level one. Once you arrive at the hotel, know that Orlando is highly connected with transportation options to the main attractions. Many Orlando hotels, resorts, and theme parks offer shuttles to and from the parks. The large theme parks also offer a monorail and ferries to cover the vast distances between attractions.
Disney World offers free transportation among all its parks. For those staying outside the parks, consider renting a car. Shuttles from hotels are reliable options, but be sure to plan ahead and account for the extra travel time to the destination. Renting a car is only necessary if you plan to sightsee outside the areas covered by the shuttles or within the parks.
The weather in Orlando is welcoming throughout late fall and winter with low humidity. Expect May through September to be accompanied by high humidity and the possibility of afternoon storms, but don't expect that to scare away the crowds. It doesn't. Late fall offers the best weather, and Thanksgiving is typically the least crowded of the major holidays. Take weather into consideration when planning a trip to Orlando; but since Orlando is a year-round destination, airfare should be the top priority.
Orlando is home to amazing attractions for families, couples, and singles alike. Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld, Legoland, and Gatorland have something for everyone. Plan ahead by purchasing tickets to parks online. At Disney World buy a FastPass to beat the lines and maximize the day. Remember that Disney World is actually four wonder-filled theme parks: the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom. Universal Studios features two spectacular theme parks: Universal Studios Florida and Universal's Islands of Adventure. Some attractions such as the Kennedy Space Center and Busch Gardens are only an hour's drive from Orlando.
Orlando's most popular water attraction, Wet 'n Wild, is a great way to cool off on a hot summer day. Orlando Science Center offers a break from the parks but doesn't lack exciting things to do. Orlando offers something for people of all ages. Plan ahead to allow for enough time to make a stop at every attraction on your list. And don't forget to use lots of sunscreen.
The keys to the perfect Orlando vacation start with finding a cheap flight. If peak travel dates are unavoidable, consider flexible travel dates to lower the airfare. Take school vacations into consideration before planning a trip due to inflated prices and larger crowds at every theme park. Direct flights to Orlando may be available due to the high number of popular airlines that fly into the airport. But remember that when 59 million people visit a city in a year, planning ahead is vital to finding the cheapest airfare. Start researching cheap flights and accommodations to Orlando earlier than later to find a flight within your budget.
As a year-round destination, Orlando offers competitive airfare throughout the year. Whether you take a family vacation to remember, make it a getaway for two, or plan a girls' or guys' hangout, you'll enjoy the affordable airfare to Orlando. Orlando is always a good idea.

Roast Beef Pot Pie Recipe
As I expected, two people weren't able to finish the 1½ pound pot roast I prepared yesterday. So what to do with the leftovers? Make pot pie, of course! Especially since it's National Pot Pie Month.
I took the leftover beef and gravy and added frozen peas and carrots. I used store-bought puff pastry and made pot pies. The flakiness from the crust and the creamy filling made the most delicious meal. I prepared them in individual metal tins so each person gets more puff pastry. How could anyone resist?
I served the pot pies with whole baby corn. I was able to find some at my local Asian market despite the season (check for Melissa's baby corn brand).
Yields: 6 servings12 (5-inch) squares frozen puff pastry, store bought, thawed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon heavy cream (or milk)
1 cup leftover beef
1½ cups leftover beef gravy, as needed
1½ cups frozen peas and carrots, diced
2 tablespoons celery stalk, peeled and diced
1 clove garlic, finely minced
4 button mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 Serrano chili pepper (optional), sliced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 tablespoons curly parsley
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
For the pot pie crust:
Lightly spray some oil on 6 disposable pot pie pans. Remove the excess oil.
Roll out the puff pastry on a very lightly floured surface. Cut into 6 disks slightly bigger than the circumference of the pot pie tins. Lay a dough round on each pot pie pan and press it into the mold. Prick the puff pastry dough with a fork. Brush a thin layer of egg over the puff pastry and place the pot pie tins in the refrigerator until the rest of the preparation is ready.
For the meat:
Shred the meat using two forks: have the forks meet at the middle and pull in opposite directions to separate the beef. If the meat is very tender, it should be pull apart easily.
For the vegetables:
Note: Usually I add a bit of liquid to thin gravy or any sauce to re-heat it, but in this recipe, you want to keep the thick texture (see tips).
In a skillet, heat about 1 tablespoon of oil on high heat. Add the Serrano chili pepper and infuse the oil. Remove and discard the chile (optional). Add the onions and cook for 6-8 minutes until golden and softened. Add minced garlic until it's slightly golden Add the celery and cook for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, peas and carrots. Cover with the cold gravy (add as much as needed until the mixture is thick and well combined). Add parsley, season with salt and pepper, stir well, then turn off the heat. Let cool to room temperature. Add the meat and mix until well combined.
Assembly time:
Add 1 tablespoon cream to the remaining egg mixture.
Divide the pot pie filling equally among the 6 pot pie tins. Don't overfill the tins. Roll the remaining 6 pieces of puff pastry into 6 disks. The disks should be about ½" wider than the top of the tins. Brush the outside edges of each bowl with more egg, then place the disks on top of each pot pie. Fold the excess dough under itself. Fold the dough over the side; seal and crimp the dough to fold over the side with your fingers. Brush the dough with more egg. Make 3 slits on the top of each pot pie using a paring knife.
Place the 6 pot pies on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes at 425°F, then lower the heat to 400°F and bake for another 20-25 minutes, until the pie crust is golden.
Remove from the oven and let the pot pies cool down for about 15 minutes.
Garnish with more parsley leaves. Serve with more gravy on the side.
Bon appétit!
The egg is the secret to a non-soggy crust. It acts as a sealant for the pie when the filling is added. You also need a very cold puff pastry to guarantee flaky puff pastry.
It is important to slit a few vents into the dough on top of the pot pie to prevent the filling from bursting out during baking.
One tip to get a perfect thick filling is to "over" thicken the gravy prior to adding the vegetables. When you add the vegetables, the veggies will release their own liquid and will balance the texture of the sauce, especially after it's baked in the oven.

HELSINKI - The world junior hockey championship hasn't even started yet, but Canada is already facing mounting adversity.
Jonathan Huberdeau and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored in the shootout Saturday as Canada defeated Sweden 2-1 in the team's final warmup game.
The story afterwards, however, was the status of Canadian centre Boone Jenner, who was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct for charging after a late hit on Jesper Pettersson in the second period.
The Swedish defenceman lay on the ice in pain and had to be carried off on a stretcher.
Canadian coach Steve Spott said he didn't know if Jenner would face further disciplinary action from the International Ice Hockey Federation.
"It's out of our control. Ultimately, our feeling is (the hit) was shoulder-to-shoulder," Spott said. "If anything, maybe interference or a charge but definitely not something that's worth suspending because although Boone is an aggressive player, he didn't target anybody's head and he didn't leave his feet."
If Jenner, who plays for the Oshawa Generals and is a draft pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets, is suspended for a significant length of time, Canada would have the option to bring over a player to replace him.
It's something that Spott has already had to deal with after left-winger Charles Hudon of the Chicoutimi Sagueneens aggravated his back in practice this week and had to be sent home. Mark McNeill of the Prince Albert Raiders was expected join the Canadian team on Saturday night to take Hudon's place.
Despite the uncertainty, Spott said the team is coming together as Canada's first game against Germany on Boxing Day in Ufa, Russia, draws closer.
"It's been a good group," he said. "Unfortunately we've had to deal with some adversity early with Charles Hudon and now with Boone, but that ultimately makes you stronger."
Huberdeau used a pretty deke to open Saturday's shootout before Nugent-Hopkins beat Swedish goalie Joel Lassinantti low stickside on Canada's second attempt.
Mikael Vikstrand was the only Swede to beat Canadian goalie Jordan Binnington.
Jonathan Drouin scored in regulation for Canada, while Alexander Wennberg replied for Sweden.
Spott asked for more discipline after Thursday's 3-2 exhibition loss to Finland but his team again found itself in the penalty box far too often.
"The effort was great but again we're taking too many penalties," Spott said. "That's an area that we have to continue to improve at because we're just putting our penalty killers on the ice way too much and there are some elite players that are sitting.
"Discipline and staying out of the penalty box is something that we need to address."
His team's need to adapt to the way games are called at the international level aside, Spott didn't mince words when asked about the referees in Finland.
"The quality of officiating (at the pre-tournament) has been below world-class standards and I think the Finnish federation has to address that," he said. "These are sanctioned games and if you put less-than-qualified officials out on the ice, which we clearly had tonight, you're putting players in a dangerous situation. It's concerning.
"The officiating tonight was certainly not up to a world-class standard."
Binnington played strong in goal for Canada, making 30 saves. Malcolm Subban stopped 19 shots in Thursday's loss to Finland, but Spott said he's been pleased with the play of both goaltenders and will wait until the night before the tournament opener to name his starter.
"Jordan was really solid but so was Malcolm," he said. "Unfortunately we took bad penalties in front of him."
Note: McNeill has represented Canada at the 2011 IIHF World U18 Championship in Germany and also played for Team Pacific at the 2010 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in Timmins, Ont. A 2011 first-round pick of the Chicago Blackhawks, McNeill has 13 goals and 26 assists in 35 games with Prince Albert this season.

There has been growing buzz about DevOps. DevOps is a methodology that unites the often separate functions of software development (Dev) and production and operations (Ops) into a single, integrated, and continuous process. DevOps is about breaking down the barriers between Dev and Ops. It leverages people, processes, and technology to stimulate collaboration and innovation across the entire software development and release process.Dev and Ops should always be part of an integrated process, but that's not always as easy as it sounds. You may be stuck in what we call "Dysfunction Junction." Read this eBooklet to learn about the pitfalls of DevOps, how you can avoid them, and how to get started on your DevOps journey.

Pilkington Tile and Pottery Company was established in 1892 in England. The company made small pottery wares, like buttons and hatpins, but soon started decorating vases purchased from other potteries. Pilkington did not start producing pottery as separate from tile until 1897. By 1903, the company had discovered an opalescent glaze that became popular on the Lancastrian pottery line. The manufacture of pottery ended in 1937. Pilkington's is still making tiles.

With only a couple of days left in the year, it seems more likely than ever that the U.S. will go over the Fiscal Cliff.
Specifically, taxes will rise for all Americans, and spending will get sharply cut.
If the new laws aren't modified with a deal early next year, the economy could then tip back into recession.
So, who should be blamed for this ridiculous state of affairs?
With most government dysfunction, both parties are to blame. In this case, however, only one of them is: The Republicans.
The Democrats have offered a compromise that includes both raising taxes and trimming spending growth.
The Republicans, meanwhile, refuse to sign any deal that includes taxes on the richest Americans going up.
This absurdly stubborn and impractical stance will hurt the entire country. And it's based on a flawed premise: That the U.S. budget problem is just a spending problem.
As the chart below shows, the U.S. budget problem is not just a spending problem. It's a spending problem and a tax problem.
Specifically, spending is too high and taxes are too low.
The chart shows U.S. federal spending (red) and tax revenue (blue) as a percent of the economy for the last 60 years:
As you can see, spending is now running at 24% of GDP, which is very high relative to the ~22% average of the past few decades.
Tax revenue, meanwhile, is running at only 17% of GDP, which is low relative to the ~19% average of the past few decades.
A reasonable person cannot look at that chart and conclude that the problem is just spending. The problem is both spending and low taxes. So saying the problem is "just spending" is putting ideology ahead of reality--at the country's expense.
The other problem we have right now is that economic growth is too slow to allow us to rapidly grow our way out of the problem. (See Joe Weisenthal's charts about this). Suddenly slamming on the brakes to fix the deficit will make this part of the problem worse, not better. So the idea that we simply must cut spending right now is also based on ideology, not reality.
When 320 million people are trying to reconcile different priorities and philosophies, the only way to move forward is to compromise.
But the Republicans don't care about that. And they don't care about the country. It's their way or nothing.
So if you're looking for someone to blame for the government's failure to reach a deal on the Cliff, look no further. You've found the problem.

Plane hits truck during takeoff in Maine, crashes; 3 dead
OWLS HEAD, Maine (AP) -- A small plane hit a truck on the runway during takeoff and crashed into the woods near the Knox County Regional Airport, killing three people, authorities said Saturday.
The plane went down Friday evening on the runway, caught fire and continued on about 200 to 300 yards into the woods beyond the runway, authorities said. With flames shooting 10 to 20 feet in the air, the first people to the scene tried unsuccessfully to pull one of the occupants from the burning wreckage, which sent smoke billowing into the sky, said John Newcomb, president of the Downeast Air airline services company, who went to the scene to try to help.
The Cessna 172 was heading north on the runway during takeoff shortly before 5 p.m. when it struck a pickup truck that was crossing the runway, according to the Knox County sheriff's office. The plane continued to climb and as it turned to the east, it spiraled downward into the woods and immediately burst into flames, sheriff's officials said.
The four-seat plane was destroyed by flames, so there was no way to see its identifying number, airport manager Jeff Northgraves said.
The bodies were still at the crash site late Friday. Officials were working to confirm the identities of the three people aboard.
Northgraves said the truck was authorized to be on the airport grounds and was driven by a pilot. He would not identify the driver but said it was not a county vehicle, nor a county employee.
All trucks at the airport are equipped with radios to pick up any traffic from planes, Northgraves said. He said planes are required to radio their positions before, during and after takeoff. He said it wasn't known yet whether the plane that crashed had radioed its actions.
The flames were hot enough to pop the airplane's tires and to keep would-be rescuers away from the airplane, Newcomb said. Firefighters had to carry fire extinguishers to the scene of the crash because they could not get their trucks close enough.
An investigator from the Federal Aviation Administration arrived at the crash site Friday night, Northgraves said. National Transportation Safety Board officers were expected to arrive Saturday to join in the investigation.
The airport has two commercial carriers, but the plane that crashed was believed to be privately owned, officials said. The skies were clear at the time with light winds, according to the National Weather Service said.
The airport was the site of the deadliest commercial airplane crash in Maine history. More than a dozen passengers and two pilots were killed in 1979 when a de Havilland Twin Otter turboprop crashed short of the runway in foggy weather. There was only one survivor, a 16-year-old boy.

The Queen was Shot at the Trooping Colour (1981)
|The Queen on the Trooping Colour ceremony 1981
The Queen has been shot during Horseguards' Parade for the start of the Trooping Colour ceremony on 13 June 1981 in London. This was done by a teenage boy, who was 17 years old, called Marcus Serjeant. He had used a blank cartridge pistol for that.
On that day the Queen had rode past crowd on horseback traditionally. Suddenly Marcus pointed a gun directly at the Queen among the crowd and fired six blank cartridges. Therewith the Queen's horse startled, but she was able to bring it back under control with a few seconds. The monarch looked shaken by the episode, but soon recovered her composure. She comforted her 19 years old horse, Burmese, which she has ridden in birthday parades since 1969.
|Marcus pointed his gun directly at the Queen
Meanwhile a guardsmen and police overcame and arrested Marcus, gunman. He had said " I wanted to be famous. I wanted to be a somebody " as he was arrested. When the police investigated his house, they had found his diary. There it was mentioned " I am going to stun and mystify the whole world with nothing more than a gun. I will become the most famous teenager in the world ".
He had also sent a letter to Buckingham Palace which read, " Your Majesty, Don't go to the Trooping the Colour ceremony, because there is an assassin set up to kill you, waiting just outside the palace". The letter arrived on 16 June, three days late.
|A guardsmen and police were overcoming the struggle
Marcus was jailed for five years. He wrote to the Queen from prison to apologize but he never received a reply. He was released in October 1984, at the age of 20 and he changed his name and disappeared into history.

Studies show that 50% of all dogs and cats have some form of periodontal disease. That number jumps to 75% when you look at pets over age three. Left untreated, periodontal disease can cause infection, pain and tooth loss over time. It can also lead to microscopic changes in the heart, liver and kidneys and can cause serious health problems for your pet.

We take a comprehensive approach to dental care including dental health assessment, treatment and prevention.
