Post subject: Y'all missed out, and Jim Murley is very cool
I just wanted to say that everybody that didn't make Long Track Nationals missed an absolutely fantastic event.
Friday's practice went well.
Saturday we came together for the driver's meeting and after the normal driving stuff, Jim Murley had other stuff to say.
He admitted the low turn out, and suggested that due to the lower-than-expected amount of excitement we might "try something new." He informed us that this was done many other places in the world, "They call it.... DRAG RACING!" After a psuedo vote to guage inerest it was decided that we would have the first SKUSA National Drag competition after the heats. VERY COOL!!
Right before the heats it started to rain, and SKUSA officials knew that there were quite a few people without rain tires so they first postponed the heat(to try and wait it out), then called they drivers to do another completely new (at least to me) idea;
Jim Murley called us all together, explained the difficulty of some without rains, and many with only one set (that we would need to save for the feature.) *AND ASKED WHAT WE (that's right WE!), wanted to do.* We agreed to wait a bit, and hopefully go dry. Somebody suggested a 10 min drive around to familiarize the drivers with a damp (not actually raining anymore) track. A partial vote was taken and that suggestion was prefered. Then another suggestion was to dry the track with street cars, well actually I believe somebody mentioned "Power-Stroke Racing"
So, sure enough we all got out there in our tow-vehicles, and many crew got their first (and some their sworn only
) opportunity to tour a race track with their drivers. EVEN COOLER!! I will have some hilarious pics up soon.
Other than one slight mishap in the G1 main, things went very smoothly for the well-dried heats.
Today also threatened rain, and another vote was taken. I don't know if this is standard practice, but I was truly impressed at the sincere attempt to please the most people.
After a string of VERY exciting racing I'm fairly certain that everybody went home pleased with the weekend.
Then I had the opportunity to have a great talk with Jim Murley one-on-one. After reading some of the posts here I had no idea what to expect. But let me assure anybody who has cared to read this far that Jim Murley UNDOUBTABLY cares more for the sport, and does more thinking for the good of the sport, than just about anybody I have met. It was obvious that he has done tremendous research, thought, discussion, and probably some soul searching while planning the future of SKUSA.
Which brings me to my final point (or am I past that point). I know everybody talks about voting with their check-books, but when it really comes down to it, we all want to see shifter-karting succeed. I think it is pretty much indisputable that SKUSA is (at least this country's) biggest, best, and most promising shifter organization. Not supporting it seems to me to be a direct blow to the sport. If anybody has a problem with the anything, the organization, rules, schedule, whatever, Jim Murley was extremely approachable all weekend.
I guess my point is, don't hurt the sport trying to vote with your money and attendance. Show up, and voice your difficulty directly to the people who can do something about it. All it shows SKUSA when people don't come is that you didn't want to race THAT race. If people came, it would prove they want to race, and once you're there you can tell them exactly what you didn't like, or what ALMOST made you stay home.
That's gotta be at least my quarter, sorry for the ramble-a-thon.
Let's RACE,
Siegel Racing

If any one ever gets the opportunity to talk one one one with Jim, they should take it. After just a few minutes, you know that here is a man who cares so very deeply for racers and providing them the opportunity to advance in motorsports. At no time do you get the feeling that he is doing this for personal gain for it is never about "What I have done for you" kind of attitude.
I just wish that we could some way get his message out. Most of the whinning and complaining would stop and people would get on the SKUSA band wagon and start pulling together. Instead of finding fault, we would start finding solutions.
As an aside, do you think the location, or weather (all the stories of HOT, HOT, HOT) held down the turnout?

I definitely think that might have been a possibility. I also heard the weather radar showed rain all weekend. However we never really had a problem. And it opened the opportunity to quite possibly the funniest sight I have seen in motorsports; all the dually's running around the track to dry it out. I guess I can understand people not wanting to come from far away with the threat of rain, but the temp was never a problem.
I need to throw a shameless plug in here. Ray Spiers, and AJ Whistler (unrelated) are undoubtably some of the coolest people ever. They both helped me out of weekend-ending tire problems. If anybody is ever at a track with either of them, at least meet them, they represent the generosity and comraderie this sport is known for.
While I'm at it, I need to thank Bill and Hunter Gillespie for much help in preperation for the weekend, and at the track. Also Marc Croslyn, and the whole Abbott family for GENEROUS help at the track. Might as well keep going, Joe Galyon, the gentleman I shared the pit spot with, is new to sprint shifters, coming from twin laydowns. He had some cool tricks, tips, and tools that many of us had never seen before. I guess I just feel that karting is so much more than just racing, there is the friendship, shared interests, ideas, and lots of GREAT FUN. Despite the slightly low numbers, I would definitely have to say the quality of the event, and the people there, were absolutely top-notch. I hope that we as a sport can come together and do everything to promote racing as a whole. In other words, we need to go everywhere we can, and meet everybody we can. Whether we're in it to pursue racing as a career, or just having fun, it's definitely a better experiance with lots of great people.

I have known Jim since before he was directly affiliated with SKUSA. I have worked directly with him and consider him one of the nicest men I have ever met, and still do. I will without a doubt work with him again if he asks me to without question.
Anything that I say in regards to an event, how an program is handled, lack of promotion is not a slam or degrading to Jim (or SKUSA) in any way. In most cases, it is out of concern for a sport I love as much as Jim does.
Jumping on a "band wagon" is not the answer to making this sport any better. I am glad everyone had a great time at the LTN's, that is what it was for, however, the reason for the low turnout was not because of the prospect for a hot day or the location. I have driven 24 hours to texas in the middle of august to race against 3 guys in an IKF race in 114 degree weather. Racers will go to a race regardless of those things... however, you must know the event is taking place, know the rules and regs, know the cost and know the coverage and media attention that is planned in a suitable time frame prior to the event. Without that, the cost of going to the event isn't worth the return. Many races could have spent a lot less money to go to a local event and still have a great time with more people to race against and be closer to home. I certainly hope this won't happen next year. Last year's LTN turnout was VERY small... this year was even smaller. Next year I hope it is either promoted or handed to someone or a series that will promote it properly. Otherwise it will be even smaller than this year.
My opinion (from someone who ALSO loves this sport and its racers)

I support your claim. I have been to EVERY LTN's and all of the promoto races (nearly) until this year.
I ALWAYS had a good time, for the most part (last year was hellish *grin*)
Here was the point I was making however... where you saved $150 due to not having to run rains... they could have had 10 times the number of entries they did have if they helped you save a little bit more BEFORE you got to the race. The fun you had may have clouded the fact that there were MANY of us that would have liked to attend, but due to lack of proper info distribution and promotion.. couldn't afford to.
This sounded like much more of a club event... as you know, many clubs and regions have PRO teams that attend as well... but the most important thing is, I am glad that it turned out to be a fun event for everyone that COULD attend... that was the intent, but I am disappointed by the reasons many of us could not go.

I went down to the LTN's on Saturday as a spectator. The one thing I (and others) noticed was how organized everything was and how they stuck to the schedule. However... there were NO tow vehicles! Any time a driver has to rely on his mechanic to wheel out his kart stand across the track after he broke... it's a little "clubby". (Not to mention it was at a LONG track!) I may have missed the reasoning behind this, but I thought it was a little odd!
I gotta admit, though... I had a BLAST driving my Jeep around the track! (I wish I could've entered it in the drag race!!!)

I attended the first two LTN's. Now, after three LTN's the entry has dropped. While there were some promotional issues I believe by the third time a round it would blossom.
But, it actuality the small size of the event has made it also a very special event. Both events I attened were very good races and we always had a really good time. Miller knows, he and Howden pitted across from us at HAllet. I think the smaller size made it seem a little more laid back.
I love long track racing and would love to see the national stay a small event. But, I know that money makes the world go around. And it's hard commiting to promoting a race that has a history of getting smaller.
Will be interesting to see what happens.

Todd's right about Hallet in 2000. Although the turn-out was small, the nine-kart S1 field put on the best shifter race I have ever seen and thanks to the intimate atmosphere, we all had a great time. Small can be good, although I think around 75 karts for five classes would be perfect.
I'd hope that SKUSA finally takes this as a hint. If they have a race, they need to promote the crap out of it early and relentlessly, make the entry reasonable and plan some fun stuff for the downtime throughout the weekend.
The Long Track Nationals needs to become a festival that is anticipated all year long. Information can't appear out of no where two weeks in advance. This race has potential but they need to come back big in 2002.

I would be curious to see a list of entrants. My suspicion is that it is a one shot long track race for people who are primarily sprinters, as oppossed to an event that draws those who are primarily long track road racers. Even the event format and a few other features are more reminiscent of sprint racing. THey did however lengthen the feature to make it a bit more of a "enduro".
I think to make this a more successful evenet, in addition to the comments made by others, teh factors as to why they are not drawing the hard core long trackers need to be analyzed.

I had a great time at the LTN. The low turn out kinda made things embarrassing, but it was definitely laid back.
I think Jim and SKUSA handled everything pretty well, the rain tire situation was the only problem the whole weekend. I can't say Im the Long Track Nationals Champion, but I can say Im the Inaugural Long Track Drag Racing Champion!! haha
(I'd rather it be the other way around, but those .005 of a second will get you!)

I believe your right about the demographics of the field. In 2000 it was 99 percent sprinters. Even with the large Texas road race scene close.
I believe we touched on this before. I believe ,obviously, SKUSA promotes "sprint" style races for the most part. SO thats where they draw from well. However, for the vast majority of road racers from CAlifornia, To Texas to the Midwest and South. They all run under more "club" oriented groups, and none of them SKUSA.
So drawing those guys over to the long track race has been the HUGE barrier.
I think thats the answer. Figure out why the true road racers aren't coming. MAybe one answer could be, it's Not worth it for a one time race with an unfamliar organization?? Who knows.

Coming from Texas is a pretty good jaunt to Alabamy. We would like to have come but our focus this year is on the Red River Regional Series. The following week we have an 800 mile drive west of Dallas.
I think the key reasons the attendance was low this year is twofold;
Lack of timely promotion is a big reason.
Cost, especially to those who new to the sticker shock prices of SKUSA entry. Its one thing to charge at least double the going rate, its another to charge more to for parking than the hotel costs.
We did enjoy having a good number of the SWRA Road Race teams come and run Austin with us on a street course. Many of them even went out and bought Programmable Ignitions just to run with us.

Since I regularly run SWRA, and also raced in the Austin street race, I guess I am one of those "road racers" you are referring to?
In my case, I already had my PI from running it last year in SWRA. Recall that they were legal in Formual Moto International in 2000. To run the Austin event, I just had to dust it off....and make a few motor changes.
Previous to "taking the plunge" to run the Austin/Red River SKUSA race, the biggest hurdle for me was the fact that SKUSA only allows 5" wheels. Thus, I had to go invest around $500 for rolling stock just to be able to run. Not to mention first time membership, entry fees, pit spot, race fuel, BBQ, beer...it was an expensive weekend indeed!
Regarding the Long Track Nationals (LTN):
About the only thing that was convenient about the LTN to people who run the SWRA series was the fact that it happened in the month of August...a month where there are no SWRA races.
Personally, I would have liked to have run the SKUSA long track event, but I had some schedule conflicts. However, I think you make an excellent point regarding the costs. The event was too expensive (both admistratively and logistically) for me to participate. Why would I want to pay TRIPLE the amount it costs me to race with IKF/SWRA, where I can race with the best guys, have three times the number of entries in my class, and have more fun?
Judging from the number of entries, the LTN field wasn't very deep.
IMHO, SKUSA's focus should be on their upper end sprint/promoto stuff. From the declining attendance each year, it's obvious that the Long Track event has become the ugly stepchild.
A more interesting scenario would be some sort of truly "national" long track event, like the one at Road America, or a properly administered "Grand National". An event where the best show up and race.
Now, if everybody could agree on a common set of racing rules...I might go run it!

Green Coffee Offerings : Africa : Ethiopia |
View Our Current Ethiopian Coffees |
Upcoming Crop CommentsWe are so strong with Ethiopian coffees this year and are very proud of the lots we're currently offering. A repeated investment in infrastructure generates large strides in cup quality. Get them while you can. Expect our first new crop offerings beginning of Summer. |
About Ethiopian Coffee
Ethiopia is the birthplace
of coffee: it is in the forests of the Kaffa region that coffea arabica grew wild. Coffee is "Bun"
or "Buna" in Ethiopia, so Coffee Bean is quite possibly a
poor anglicized interpretation of "Kaffa Bun". Coffea Arabica
was also found in the Harar region quite early, either brought from
the Kaffa forests or found closer by. It is entirely possible that
slaves taken from the forests chewed coffee berry and spread it into
the Harar region, through which the Muslim slave trade route passed.
Ethiopian coffees are available from some regions as dry-processed, from some regions as washed, and from Sidamo as both! The difference between the cup profiles of the natural dry-processed vs. the washed is profound. Washed Sidamo, Yirgacheffe and Limmu have lighter body and less earthy / wild tastes in the cup as their dry-processed kinfolk. Ethiopian coffee reminds me more and more of fresh produce, because when you find a really great coffee like the dry-processed Koratie, it is like eating Michigan peaches at the height of the season. The flavors are amazing, and when it is gone, it is gone. If all the factors line up just right, it might be the same next year, maybe not. Ethiopian coffees can vary greatly from lot to lot. It takes A LOT of cupping to find the specific lot of coffee that is superior. MAO Horse exports a lot of coffee, but each year one specific "chop" (lot number) out-cups the others. Since lots differ in character, and I do so much to find the best lot, we are now listing the Lot Number in the description of the coffee. When I find that coffee, I buy the majority of the year's coffee immediately, leaving a small opening in case any other good lots come along later in the season. But my experience has been that early shipments of the DP Ethiopians are often the best of the season, in contradiction to many other origins where the earliest are often underdeveloped, lower-grown coffees and the mid-crop pickings are better. Organic supplies have been good, and a few lots have been outstanding. Here's an interesting article outlining the producers' hopes for the budding Organic Ethiopian coops. We have many pictures and notes about Ethiopia coffee in our travelogs, namely a cupping trip to Addis and an interesting trek to Dire Dawa and Harar in the east. Tom also attended the Harar Roundtable Conference, and headed south to Sidama and Yirgacheffe in February 2009. Check out the commentary and photos here. I have also been there a few times since - check out the travelogue section of our Coffee Library page.
A brief word about the grading of Ethiopian Coffees: The top grade Ethiopian washed coffees (Yirgacheffe and Sidamo, usually) might bear a Grade 2 or 3, dry-processed from the Eastern parts will be 4 or 5 by nature of the preparation method. Oftentimes, a Grade 4 will be marked grade 5 to save on taxes and duties. The whole system is a bit tricky, because you can now have a Grade 1 or 2 natural from Yirga Cheffe, but not from Harar, where the top grade will be Gr. 4 . But we judge coffee by cup quality via blind cupping: not the marks of the bag. Expect uneven roast color from even the best of the dry-processed coffees. Even roast color is not necessarily a mark of high cup quality. NOTE: Some Ethiopian dry-processed coffees are hand prepped and dried in the sun - so watch out for rocks! There can be small stones and dirt clods in the coffee that you need to cull out before roasting and definitely before grinding as these can jam a grinder. A ground up dirt clod can foul an otherwise lovely pot of coffee. (In wet processed coffees the stones fall out in the water channel but in dry processed coffees, small stones can escape detection and make it all the way through to the final bag.) Expect uneven roast colors from dry-processed Ethiopian coffees. In this image of Harar, there is one bean to cull out - pretty obvious. |
Our Unroasted Ethiopian Coffee Offerings:
Please refer to our Reference Page for definitions of terms and cupping numbers used below. Check out the Sweet Maria's Coffee Home Roasting Forum for more conversation about home roasting Ethiopian and other coffees.Camp Coffee. I know this will be the source of a few jokes, especially since camp coffee (at least to me) means not-so-tasty coffee that is enjoyable because, well, it's hot, and your camping! Anyway, I have been to the Camp cooperative mill, and I still can't explain the name. It just is. Camp is in the Illubabor district of western Ethiopia. It is not far from the main paved road on the way to Bedele town. I measured the altitude at the Camp mill at 1897 meters, but most of the coffee comes from the higher areas in the vicinity, up to 2100 meters. This lot of Camp is part of an initiative we set up in Ethiopia two years ago, in order to work direct at the coop level. The program is administered by a non-government organization that not only coordinates agronomists and managers for each of the coops they work with, but also has a business adviser assigned that helps the cooperative manage their debt, re-invest in quality improvements at the mill, and verifies distribution of income to all members.
Camp has a more balanced fragrance and aroma than other Ethiopias from the area. The dry grounds are not outrageously floral or fruited at first, but hint at almond essence, dried cherry, and some dusky wildflower notes . Adding hot water to the dry grounds brings this coffee to life. A strong sweetness I will characterize as "peach preserves" dominates, with cane sugar juice and dark honey. The cup has a moderate brightness when you stack it up against other wet-process Ethiopia coffees. Fragrant peach notes come through as well as the same latent floral aspect hinted at in the aroma, but with an overlay of chocolate roast taste. Camp has a rather dense body, which, coupled with the apricot and peach notes give it a nectar-like mouthfeel. Darker roasts really bring out the bittering chocolate aspect of this coffee, and In fact is the reason I prefer roasting Camp to Full City/Full City+. The chocolate bittersweet tang is really pleasant at this level, while lemon hints come through to vivify the cup flavors. I let one batch go a tad into 2nd crack and really appreciated the SO espresso shot from this, a bit bright, but with a long, reverberating aftertaste.

This coffee from Duromina Cooperative is part of an initiative we have in Ethiopia to work direct at the coop level. The program is administered by a non-government organization that not only coordinates agronomists and managers for each of the coops they work with, but also has a business adviser assigned that helps the cooperative manage their debt, re-invest in quality improvements at the mill, and verifies distribution of income to all members. This is a key position; I have never known a coop to get this kind of expert advice from outside ... not in Africa at least. A cooperative can make all kinds of quality improvements, turn out fantastic coffee, and sink deeper in debt all the while. Cooperatives often fail to return a fair and full amount of payment to their farmer-members. Often this is from poor management, and sometimes from graft as well. With this lot we can verify that the great price we paid will result in a fair distribution of funds, a better managed coop, investment in the mill, and even better coffee next year! There will be about 10 coffees we offer this year from this system, Duromina being one of the first to arrive. Duromina is in the Goma Woreda, with farm altitudes between 1900 to 2100 meters. I was there last November we brought a home roaster, and powered by car battery and an inverter, held an entire cupping for the coffee farmers! Duromina won the all-Africa cupping competition at the EAFCA conference this year in Addis!
Duromina is a sweet, delicate and well-structured cup, totally different from the typical dry-process Jimma coffees. The fragrance from the dry grounds has stone fruit (peach, apricot) and honey. As I add the hot water, there is intensely sweet smell of apricot preserves, jammy, with floral scents as well. The wet aroma is floral, peach tree in bloom, almond extract, a hint of cherry (City+ roast). The cup has very refined flavor characteristics, not a "big" coffee, but a restrained and articulate one. My lightest roast (City) have amazing fruit juice sweetness, clean berry notes, peach essence, lightly caramelized sugars, sweet grain. With a little more roast (City+), floral and fruit flavors intensify, and the ripeness of the berry notes comes to the forefront. At Full City the chocolate starts to dominate. The body is relatively light, complimenting the cleanly disappearing sweetness and fruit jam flavors. This is a coffee that intensifies greatly as it cools, so to truly appreciate it, focus on the taste as the cup loses temperature. This coffee is wonderful as SO espresso. Aleco tried a shot of this and proclaimed it the best SO espresso he's ever had!

This is the last arrival we have of the current harvest from Ethiopia, and represents one of the nicest dry-processed coffees of the season. Located in the Gedeo zone area of Yirga Cheffe, it is also home to some the most beautiful coffees we buy. This lot of Konga is in an area of Yirga Cheffe with a range of 1900-2300 meters, and is dry-processed on raised beds. Smallholder farmers from around the region delivery their heirloom Ethiopian coffee varietals to the station where it is weighed and then sun dried before being delivered to Addis Ababa for sale. This lot is a "clean" version of the process with its wide array of fruit characteristics easily perceptible. This coffee was prepared to Grade 3 specifications, although we think it rivals another lot of dry-processed coffee we received that tested as Grade 1. Go figure. It is certainly a clean coffee with few quakers (under-ripes). But they are still there. With naturals, nothing is perfect.
While this dry processed coffee is definitely of the rustic nature, it doesn't equate to a "muddled" profile, and the complexity really comes through. The dry fragrance is very sweet with dried fruits taking the lead. Bing cherry, dried apricot, strawberry, and mango are found in lighter roasts, whereas the fruits in dark roasts are situated around a base of chocolate. The wet grounds remind me of strawberry milk, and really start to give off a sense of baking goods, like berry filled donuts. Baking spices also come up, especially in more developed roasts, like cardomom, clove, and star anise. There's no big surprises in the cup profile as it sticks fairly close to that of the aromatics. The sweetness is slightly more confectionary, which, along with dried tropical and berry fruits, has a fruit-roll-up appeal. Fruits turn to chai spice in the finish along with a dusting of bittersweet cocoa. This coffee has a thick, milky body, and works great in espresso; even as straight unblended shots if you like a rustic sweetness. I found that brewed results seem to place the accent on the spices, particularly star anise, and other times on the fruited flavors, depending on roast levels, water temperature and steeping time. So play around with the variables in brewing to see the different possibilities this coffee offers.

Guji Shakiso is a coffee that comes out of a "private" cooperative in that it is owned and operated by a single farmer. The coffee cooperative is comprised of the surrounding farmers in the area, and is replete with two washing stations where farmers are able to have their coffee cherry processed. The people are known as Gujii Oromo, and coffee farming has been a core part of the culture in the highland areas. It's a distinct coffee from Yirga Cheffe, and Sidamo. There is a commitment to the farm workers and assistance is provided in the form of agricultural education and tools, onsite agronomists, as well as a local health care system. Geographically, culturally, and in terms of cup flavors, these southern coffees have a different flavor profile while maintaining the same general characteristics; citrus and floral accents, a lively cup character. Add to this the fact that cultivars used in Ethiopia are largely regional, distinct local strains of coffees that have spread from the wild forest plants of western Ethiopia, to Harar in the East and to the southern districts like Guji. Because this is privately owned farm land and they process their own coffee, they have license to export, and ultimately we're able to form this direct trade link with them.
This lot of Suke Quto is cupping so well. It's a complex coffee with amazing floral attributes, excellent sweetness, and beautifully balanced. The dry fragrance has candied sweetness, cinnamon stick, floral honey, and dried mango. Deeper roasts have a burned sugar quality that is like toffee. The wet aroma shows even more sweetness with baked peach and apricot, dried wildflowers, and nutmeg. There's even a bit of cherry pie on the break along with a note of Assam tea. As a cup, this coffee really shines. It's a transparent cup with Jasmine tea, and peach hard candy. This is a juicy coffee and the fruit flavors really come to fore as the cup cools. Light roasts have stone fruits, green grape, Asian pear, and melon. Caramelized sugars are front and center, especially in Full City roasts and beyond, with notes of dark brown sugar and coffee cake crust. There's a malic brightness throughout the roast spectrum that frames the bouquet of fruit and flowers quite nicely. The mouthfeel is viscous and reminded me a bit of apple juice in its texture. Excellent as a single origin (SO) espresso or as a component to your next espresso blend.

Love these shorts
These shorts fit perfect. I got the size 2. This is the same size I wear in Limited jeans and in regular Limited Pants. The shorts are the same quality as you have come to expect from Limited clothes.

Cute but odd length
These are not as long as pictured. I found by rolling them a couple of times they look fine. They fit like the 678 line and the material is not see through. I think if a person is rather short they might fit like pictured. I do think they are cute for summer.
April 17, 2013
These shorts are great. I have three different colors in these because I liked them so well.
April 14, 2013
New fav summer short
I am 5'5" and 145. These fit spot on. They came to my knee as expected and were not overly 'thin'. You could maybe see black undies but not too transparent as some white can be. the fabric is softer than denim and incredibly comfy. very pleased!!

FELLOW pupils at Woodroffe School in Lyme Regis have now been told by the school that 17-year-old Nick Wildeman was the boy involved in the A35 collision on Monday.
Students were shocked and upset by the news.
Headteacher Dr Richard Steward said: "The school was shocked to be informed of the terrible accident that Nick was involved in on Monday evening and our thoughts are with his family and friends at this very difficult time.
"We wish Nick a full and speedy recovery."
Nick, who lives near the crash site, is still in the neurological ward at Southampton Hospital where he was taken after the accident.
His condition today was described as criticial and stable.
Police are still anxious to speak to witnesses or anyone who who saw Nick before the collision with the Mercedes lorry at around 4.45pm on Monday.
A family liaison officer has been in contact with his family who are too distressed to talk.
The crash happened on the A35 just west of the Old London Inn near Miles Cross at 5pm.
Police are appealing for witnesses who may have seen the teenager prior to the collision with the Mercedes lorry.
The youngster, who was a pedestrian lives near the crash site.
He was treated on the scene by paramedics before being taken to Dorset County Hospital and then transferred to Southampton Hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Police closed the road in both directions for accident investigation until 11.45pm.
The lorry, a Mercedes articulated tractor unit and trailer was driven by a man from the Southampton area.
Bridport Police Inspector Mike Darby said: "Clearly traffic experts are investigating the cause of the accident and we would like anybody who was using the road at that time who may have seen the young man in the vicinity of the A35 at Miles Cross on Monday evening at about quarter to five to contact Dorset Police at Bridport.
"Clearly the young man is seriously injured and our thoughts are with his family and friends while they deal with this difficult time."
Insp Darby said without any witnesses who saw the accident, police have to look at a series of things which could have happened.
He said police could also calculate the speed of the vehicle from the lorry tachograph.
There is also physical evidence the police can gather from the scene.
Insp Darby said the lorry driver was helping police with their enquiries.
A police spokesman on the scene said paramedics were treating the boy in front of the lorry in the road when he arrived.
He said it was unclear why the boy appeared to be in the middle of the road when the collision happened.
He said: "We don't know why he was in the road. I have spoken to neighbours and they didn't see what happened."
Gerry Boulter from West House, which is close to the accident site, said people were shocked by the accident but not surprised.
He said: "People on that road do expect this sort of thing to happen so in that sense it is no surprise.
"You are there almost waiting for the next one to happen."
Bridport town and district councillor David Tett said: "I am all but speechless. Hardly a week passes without an accident or incident happening in, on or around the junction at Miles Cross.
"I know the few experts among us will argue it is all down to driver error, but the vast majority of us will argue it is caused by confusion down to a badly laid out junction.
"The Highways Agency must now look to acting quickly and not to delay putting off installing a roundabout. Surely something must be wrong for these spate of accidents to occur on this stretch of the A35."
Police are asking any witnesses to contact them on 101 or on Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
5:25pm Wed 13 Mar 13
12:27am Fri 15 Mar 13
From what I can see of that picture, the junction on the right hand side is the same as a million other T junctions across the country. Having looked at this area using Google maps, it is not as if this area where the young man got hit was on a major junction, just a normal small road into main road, where anyone driving would have been on the lookout for oncoming traffic from left and right, depending on which way you intend to turn, whether towards Chideock or towards Bridport and Weymouth.
Until the police report is issued and submitted by the Dorset Police Collision Investigation Branch, it seems no help from you to cast aspersions that apparently have no basis in the fact of the case. It is plainly obvious that this incident occurred on a normal 2 way single lane each side carriageway and therefore has no bearing on your assertion that the main road junction further back toward Bridport is to blame.
At this point, we should leave the police to continue and complete their investigations and compile their report accordingly, and keep our political brownie point scoring until we are told the facts of the case by the police.
This young man is in a very serious condition and I send my best wishes to him and his family and friends.
For any councillor to use this as a brownie point scoring exercise at this time is in my view a disgusting act on your part and is not compatible with you being a caring and responsible councillor, and if I was within your constituency I would demand you take those comments back and/or step down on the basis of conduct unbecoming of a councillor.
But I do demand that you issue an immediate and unconditional apology, Mr Tett, to all the family and friends of this young man as the angst over his condition, not knowing if he has any damage to his brain.
I would request that you issue an apology to them, but I know that a request is not within the vocabulary of any Dorset councillor, so I demand it.
I wish Nick a speedy recovery and can assure his family that there are many prayers being said at this time on his behalf for him to make a successful recovery. Let us all, have a minute of contemplation about this young mans condition and hope he pulls through.

But the best way for you to help your children get more exercise is to join in.
"If the whole family makes the conscious decision to be active, they all share the exercise benefits, and, most important, the family can enjoy the playtime together," says Greene. "Being active as a family encourages children to choose an active lifestyle well into their adult years."

My husband and I plan to ride across the country one of these days. Wyoming will definitely be on our route. It looks so amazing. Thank you once again.

amazing color. I'm dreaming of the clay plaster this could make for my Michigan house. Michigan has black dirt; dig deep and you can find yellow clay, but I've never seen a lovely burnt sienna color like this one. I can understand how people become dirt collectors, LOL!

Beautiful photo.
For those of you who comment on visiting Wyoming, I have been fortunate enough to travel across the states by camper and motorcycle. I encourage everyone to do it. Seeing the landscape in photos or on TV is nothing like seeing them in person. You'll be overwhelmed from the beauty.

Thanks a billion for doing this site. I have been following for a while and yet to comment. It is an amazing thing to have a bond with something wild like Charlie. I have a similar experience going on a couple years with a fox that visits me. "Foxy". He eats from my hand, hangs around when I work on the property, will walk with me in the woods, sit and enjoy the morning sun as I drink coffee outside. Will come when called on occasion.
He however remains mostly wild, and visits on his own terms. But all in all......it is an amazing thing, and I have ton's of pic's a video.
I hope all works out well for you all there. I like your cat too!I'll be following along as long as you keep updating.

I have a request: Could you perhaps, maybe once in a while, take his picture next to a ruler, or a yardstick, or some item (truck tire?) that would give us an idea as to his size? I believe you when you say that he isn't as big as he looks in his pictures--but it's just that he looks so tall and long when there aren't objects nearby that help to determine his size.
Thanks much. Love the blog. I love what you're doing with Charlie. - 1/11/2008

One more thing, I've lived in Wyoming for many years, and when people hear that they ask why I live in such and ugly flat state. I explain to them that they have only traveld I-80. Going past the interstate they will see breathe taking sunsets and land that is some of the best. Your pictures are prove that Wyoming is the most beautiful state, you just haev to get past I-80

This story, these sublime photos about your pup and your puss, have to be one of the loveliest wild&tame-life tales I've ever read. My niece (who has a dog named Wylie, who is a suspected coyote-cross), sent me your site, and I've been stunned, thrilled, awestruck by the sheer beauty of this creature which has come to live with you, and the fact that you are busy giving him such a wonderful home, as well as chronicling his growth and development with your exquisite images. I hope you are busy making a fabulous book deal, as well as planning to share your beautiful animals via greeting cards (as well as calendars). I hope you are managing to sustain life sufficiently, and will envision a long and healthy life for Charlie, Eli and you. Your gift of this blog is one that has given me a fuller and deeper appreciation for "God's Dog," as the Native Americans used to call the little wolf. May he grow up to bust open prejudice, bigotry and injustice in all whom he meets!
Sincerely, and with love and delight,
Cecilia Winston

Amazing shot. How I would love it as the wallpaper on my laptop.
I do love coming here to read about the adventures the three of you share, but I do have a question.
The About Us section mentioned that you live in a town with 300 people. I can't imagine that there is anything that goes on in a town that small that everyone doesn't know about. How do the people in the town feel about you raising a coyote? Considering how people in that area feel about coyotes, I was wondering if there is any animosity towards you. - 1/13/2008

OMG .. Patricia A is sooo bad at acting. If this was cast with someone with some talent it would have been great. Jake Webber is superb and so are all the kids and all the side actors. She is soo soo soo fake .. am I the only one who thinks so? Common ... didn't the producers realize this?? I mean have you seen that woman start to cry?? I just stop the TV .. take a deep breath and fast forward the crying scene every time ... it is so annoying.
The story line is superb and all the supporting actors are great!!. This woman should NEVER act again .. she is that bad!! she got worse over the seasons as well. I know that the story is supposed to support her intution ... but every time she tries to convince about something I just want to run away and never look at the show.
Please recast this woman with someone with evenminimaltalent and have medium show again. I will NEVER ever put myself through the torture watching Patricia A again ... I just loved the story line and Jake Webber so much that I suffered through Medium even with this freaking annoying woman!!!
