The desert will be overrun with Ohio State fans. It will look like a Buckeyes home game. Miami fans will be outnumbered at least 5 to 1.
And you know what? It won't matter.
By the time the Fiesta Bowl is over, the scarlet on the shirts of the tens of thousands of Ohio State fans will match the color on their faces. The famous "Script Ohio" will look more like a "Scrapped Ohio." The traditional dotting of the "I" will be replaced by the burning of the game tape.
Ohio State's resurgence is a great story, but the story will end badly in the Arizona desert. The Buckeyes aren't going to come within three touchdowns of winning this game. Not with a quarterback who couldn't start for any of the five Division I-A teams in the state of Florida. The Buckeyes, bless their boring little Big Ten hearts, couldn't throw change into a tollbooth receptacle.
The Buckeyes run their offense to set up punts. Seriously. They punt, play phenomenal defense, get the ball back, then punt again -- this time a little deeper into enemy territory. This traditional field-position game might work against Michigan; it won't against Miami.
The Buckeyes of today play football like the Buckeyes of 30 years ago, when Woody Hayes said, "There are three things that can happen when you pass, and two of them ain't good."
Ohio State will find out that their old-school ways simply won't work against a program that wrote the book on new-age football. They will find out this isn't just a bowl trip; it's a trip into another sphere, another dimension.

Wanted to get out and run the rally a bit today so found a nice parking lot, of course we know there is always an obstacle that will found in any parking lot................
Just running stock gearing and a 2s Lipo and was having a blast when I got a little wide and went off the blacktop and into a little grass strip that had a parking sign planted in it
I hit it direct onto the driver side front corner, thought all was well, no body damage at all but..........................noticing the wheels turned sharply and locked I rolled ole BLUE over to find this!
This plastic seems quite brittle? Oh well, time to get a replacement and a spare! Thought I would share some potential carnage possibilities to those that have impact with stationary objectsNOT recommended obviously LOL

For some, the desert is untouchable; for others, it's a resource to be tapped.recent years, the movement's focus on wildlife, habitat preservation, and pollution has been eclipsed by the climate change imperative. National groups like the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Environmental Defense Fund, and the Sierra Club have joined with the more forward-looking members of the Fortune 500 to push cap-and-trade legislation and other climate-change initiatives and to promote alternative energy.

The Catellus lands form a checkerboard of 640-acre parcels across the Mojave. Feinstein, who sponsored the 1994 legislation that created Death Valley and Joshua Tree national parks and the Mojave National Preserve, pushed for federal matching funds to complete the purchase of the land, which was then donated to the government for preservation.

Do you really care about conference records in bowl games or is it totally overblown
The bizarre thing about CFB. is..in any other sport, I never hear this argument
In CBB, I don't see people talking up the ACC/Big Ten over the performance of other teams.
Apples to Oranges, but I feel no source of "AFC NORTH" Pride because we were the only team not in the playoffs from that conference.
Nobody cares as a fanbase. I'm sure Bayou could give a shit. I'm sure any random PAC ten fan could give a shit. And BIG fans? I'm sure don't care. The only people that seem to care are ESPN, their execs, and their talking airheads.

Is the Christmas Spectacular your favorite performance of the year?
LI: It's absolutely amazing. Christmas is a wonderful time of year in itself, and to be able to perform with the Christmas Spectacular, it's truly an honor to be part of the legendary line of the Rockettes. When you're on the stage and you can see the audience members gleaming with joy, it really is like 'oh my gosh, I get to do this for a living!'
Do the numbers in the Christmas Spectacular change every year?
JC: We keep traditional favorites. We have some fan favorites like The Living Nativity, we have The Parade of the Wood Soldier, and those have both been a part of the show since its inception in 1933, so that's an amazing piece of history. We also have new sections in the show just to keep it fresh and fun. [This year we have a number that] features a 50-foot LED screen that helps Santa take you to Times Square and his workshops at the North Pole. There's also a life-size double-decker bus, and the Rockettes take the audience on a tour through Manhattan.
What are your favorite numbers to dance in the Christmas Spectacular?
LI: My favorite part of the Christmas Spectacular is Let Christmas Shine. It's our final number, and we enter on a staircase and we're bedazzled in these gorgeous costumes with over 3,000 crystals a piece.
JC: My favorite is New York at Christmas and it's about mid-way through the show. We're on that double-decker bus and it's a real Big Apple Tours; we're on the bus, we hop off the bus, we go through the city, and the LED screen literally takes you everywhere. It's a fun visual for the audience and it's very playful for the Rockettes.
What is your favorite costume?
LI: My favorite costume is actually our 12 Days of Christmas costume. It reminds me of a cute little candy cane. It's a red- and white-striped bodice with a gold tutu skirt. At the top, it's mesh and covered in crystals as well, so it stays up while we're tapping. It's super cute and it definitely says holiday.
JC: I love our reindeer costume. It's a brown, crushed velvet unitard — which means it's just all one piece head to toe — and it has a nice high collar, and we have these jingle bells on our jackets, and, of course, we have hats with antlers coming out. It might not be the most comfortable costume, but I just think it looks so sleek...I think it's a really sharp way to open the show.
What's the best part about being a Rockette? What memories will you keep with you in the years to come?
LI: When you're on the stage and you're looking out into the audience and it might be your fourth show of the day and you're exhausted, but you look out there and you see people smiling at you with such enjoyment and you're making someone's holiday season, because not everyone gets the chance to see a show in general and especially like the Christmas Spectacular. It's an honor to be a part of it, and I feel truly blessed each and every time I take the stage.
JC: The rich history of the Rockettes, you can never wrap your head around the fact that you get to be this little part of it. We can see that in people's faces when we get to meet them, and it's not about us but it's about the history of the Rockettes, and that's a privilege and the feeling never goes away. The other great thing, I specifically remember my first year on tour, being on stage and being in the middle of a kick line and it was the last number of the show, and you get these little girls and they're in their little holiday dresses, and this one little girl in particular — I will remember it forever — she had gotten out of her seat and she had her hands on her hips and she was kicking with us. Tears wanted to come down my face. It was the sweetest thing ever. It's little moments like that you get to experience, and it's an amazing, amazing gift.

First off, let me confirm that it's true: Iceland is green, and Greenland isn't–at least, not at this time of year. We had hoped to get a predawn start from Goose Bay, Labrador, for our fuel stop in Narsarsuaq, Greenland–but Mike Laver, who I'm accompanying on a flight around the world to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Mitsubishi MU-2's first flight, remembered that you couldn't depart for Narsarsuaq without getting a recent observation from the field…and the airport doesn't open until 6 a.m. Sometimes, interational operations are just "interesting" but in this case, the airport lies at the end of a fjord, and weather frequently makes it a challenging place to get into.
Once off, however, we're cleared directly to FL250 as we pass over a solitary boat on Lake Melville. "We're going faster in the climb than we were in cruise yesterday," Mike remarked, pointing at the groundspeed readout. Far below, whisps of morning fog rise, painting delicate white lines on the dark canvas of the Earth. The rising sun reflects on marshland below as we go feet wet over the Labrador Sea. We're covering ground–er, water–at a rate of 313 knots when we cross the Davis Straits, but a solid layer below precludes any view of the water. Then we pass through 10 or 20 miles of clear sky, followed by more clouds–these with vertical development, despite the early hour. By 2 p.m. these could provide significant weather, and they show the wisdom of launching early in the day for long trips.
We're in nonradar airspace. Proper configuration of the screens on Mike's Garmin GTN 750 and GTN 650 makes position reporting a breeze. The sky below us has cleared–was that an iceberg? A good tailwind gets us to Narsarsuaq in slightly more than two hours, so we didn't have to take on a full load of fuel (at $8 per gallon)–and there's no question that the shape off the end of Runway 7 as we approach is an iceberg.
After a quick refueling, we pause to talk with Martin and Juliette Prakken, who had just landed in a Socata TBM 700. Natives of the Netherlands who moved to Virginia about 20 years ago, he uses the airplane for business in the United States and in Europe, flying it across for several months every summer. They were westbound, heading home with their two children before school starts. Pilots flying internationally are quick to exchange notes about the weather and procedures; later at our hotel in Reykjavik, we talk with the pilot of a Socata TB-20 who had been following us east.
Narsarsuaq is…cool. Any longer on the ground and I would have had to upgrade to a heavier coat. On Greenland's east coast, however, it looked downright cold. The snowpack appeared thick and glaciers were calving icebergs–so many in a couple spots that the water looked more like a bowl of ice cubes. But we're high above by now, enjoying an 80-knot tailwind. Eventually over the Atlantic we see nothing but a lot of water. While we don't see any whitecaps from FL270, the texture of the surface looks like something to avoid in a small boat. After about two more hours, we break out of clouds at 2,200 feet and touch down at Reykjavik in light rain.
Tomorrow we fly to Newcastle, England, for a fuel stop, and then to Straubing, Germany, for the night. If you want to know where we're going, a schedule that's almost up to date is posted on Mike Laver's website. If you want to see where we've been, check out my DeLorme tracking map–the longer distance between tracking points today (the InReach SE updates position every 10 minutes) illustrates how much faster our groundspeeds were today.

Soviet Intelligence Agents and Suspected Agents
Soviet Intelligence Agents and Suspected Agents
Klaus Fuchs
Emil Julius Klaus Fuchs (1911-88) was born in Germany and was a member of the German Communist Party in 1933, when the rise of the Nazi Party to power caused him to flee to Britain. Fuchs was briefly interned on the outbreak of war, but was released and joined the team lead by Rudolf Peierls at Birmingham University working on atomic physics. He was sent with other members of the team to the United States in 1943 to work on the development of the atom bomb at Los Alamos.
After the War, Fuchs returned to Britain and worked at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell. Between 1942 and 1949, however, he had worked for Russian intelligence, passing information about the development of the atom bomb to a number of KGB and GRU case officers. The first Russian atom bomb, announced to the world shortly after Fuchs' trial, was a virtual facsimile of the Anglo-American bomb built using information supplied by him.
Fuchs was arrested in 1950 following information gleaned about an agent, identified as CHARLES or REST, from the VENONA decrypts (given on these files as an unspecified and sensitive American source), who matched Fuchs' details. He originally approached the head of security at Harwell for an interview after an offer of a job was made to Fuchs' father at the University of Leipzig in East Germany, which Fuchs believed might compromise his position at Harwell. This approach coincided with Security Service discussions about how to deal with him.
After three preliminary interrogations (on 21 December 1949, 30 December 1949 and 13 January 1950) Fuchs confessed under questioning on 23 January 1950 (though no evidence of his espionage was uncovered by the investigation) and he was tried and sentenced to 14 years' imprisonment. He was also stripped of his British nationality. In the aftermath of Fuchs' confession, the American authorities arrested his one-time controller in the United States Harry Gold, who was tried in 1951. After his release from prison in 1959, Fuchs returned to East Germany, where he worked at the Central Institute for Nuclear Research, Rossendorf.
Fuchs was one of the most significant Communist spies of the Cold War period, who betrayed the workings of the atom bomb, the most significant secret of the time, to his controllers, and these files give great insight into the Security Service's handling of him from the time internment was first considered up to and beyond his trial.
Security Service interest in Fuchs begins with file KV 2/1245, detailing investigations into him from 1938, in the period leading up to the War and his brief internment in Canada. The file includes Fuchs' original aliens registration card and photograph and his immigration and naturalisation papers. The Service was concerned with Fuchs' known communist past, and gathered general information on his background and past activities.
Detailed Security Service interest in Fuchs commenced once he had been identified as the possible CHARLES. KV 2/1246 shows the beginning of the surveillance with detailed reports (including at folio 177b, after Fuchs had been shadowed around London, a note that he 'is a bad driver'). The file shows details of Fuchs' contacts being investigated, including a Home Office Warrant being issued against his sister, Kristabel Heineman (folios 158-159), and speculation about connections between her and the spy Israel Halperin. A report from a tapped phone conversation describes Erna Skinner, Fuchs' suspected mistress, as 'an attractive type of Jewess' (folio 185a).
KV 2/1247 continues the surveillance story. Fuchs was at this stage still working at Harwell, and the offer of work at Leipzig University to his father caused consternation given the sensitive nature of Fuchs' work. It is implied that Fuchs should have pressed his father not to accept the post. At this time, Fuchs was observed buying a camera. Further Home Office warrants were issued against a relative, Gisella Wagner, and several of Fuchs' relatives were placed under observation. The suspicions about Kristabel Heineman grew when her name was discovered in the notebook of another suspected spy.
KV 2/1248 reports on further surveillance of Fuchs from October 1949, and includes (folio 337a) the plans for the first interrogation of Fuchs and plans to remove his passport. There is a detailed biographical summary of Fuchs at folio 344z, including information on Erna Skinner and Tatiana Malleson. The file also includes, at folio 316a, an intercepted letter from Fuchs' father asking for information.
KV 2/1249 contains the text of the first two interviews with Fuchs, covering his finances, his family, his contacts with students and so on. The second interview is followed by various suggested actions (e.g. to prevent him fleeing the country). The suggestion is made in this file that Fuchs should be asked to resign from his position at Harwell because his father had taken the position at Leipzig University.
KV 2/1250 covers the period of the investigation during which Fuchs made his confession. It includes a report of the meeting between Fuchs and Sir John Cockcroft where Fuchs was told that he must leave Harwell on account of his father's appointment (including a plan to post him to a university vacancy in Australia, which Sillitoe is recorded on file as opposing). There is also a request from Sillitoe to the Ministry of Supply to arrange urgently for Fuchs' departure from Harwell, and a report of the third interview with Fuchs. There is not on the file, however, a contemporary note of the crucial fourth interview where Fuchs confessed. There is, at folio 433a, a record note of the phone call made by interviewing officer Skardon to the Security Service immediately after the fourth interview, with Fuchs showing the immediate actions to be taken, and also a copy of Fuchs' statement and (folio 443ab) a record made by Skardon on 30 January of the fourth to seventh interviews. The file contains examples of letters to Fuchs from East Germany having been tested for secret ink (with no result). It also records that a telephone check was maintained on the Birmingham number of Fuchs' former colleague Rudolf Pieirls.
KV 2/1251 deals mainly with visits to and correspondence with Fuchs while he was detained in Brixton Prison awaiting trial. These include an interview requested by Rudolf Pieirls in February 1950, and Pieirls' own account of the meeting. Sillitoe made a report on the arrest of Fuchs to the JIC meeting of 3 February 1950 and the brief record of this, contained in a secret annex to the minutes of meeting JIC(50)13 are included on the file. The file also contains a list of photographs of Russians in the UK in the 1940s which were shown to Fuchs to see if he could identify any of his contacts.
KV 2/1252 contains a list of documents in Fuchs' possession at the time of his arrest, and a note (f 513a) of documents handed over to Whitson of the FBI about the case on 14 February 1950 summarising the intelligence so far gleaned during interrogation about Fuchs' contacts. The file also includes a summary of intelligence leads thrown up by the investigation into the Fuchs case prepared by branch B2a as of 17 February 1950, lists of Fuchs' known relatives and lists of intercepted letters.
KV 2/1253 continues the story of investigations into the Fuchs case, with further case summaries and intercepted correspondence. There is also a copy of Fuchs' Canadian Prisoner of War internee record card, forwarded by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, giving medical details, information about his postings and including a photo from 1940 showing Fuchs wearing his internee identification number (internee number 417). The file also contains a copy of the case summary distributed in March 1950 to Britain's partners in the Western European Union, and a list of further copy documents passed to FBI agent Whitson on 2 March 1950.
The case continues in KV 2/1254 with further summaries of leads arising from the investigation and information on Fuchs provided by former contacts. At folio 622z, information on the case is requested by the CIA, and the Security Service reply is at folio 637b.
KV 2/1255 covers the move of Fuchs to HM Prison Stafford, and reveals that although Fuchs' mail had previously been carefully examined, he was able to send and receive post without it passing through Security Service hands for the first six days he spent at Stafford (the details in a handwritten note from the Deputy Governor of the prison to Skardon of July 1950). The file also includes copies of Fuchs' statement made to the FBI on 26 May 1950 and a report of FBI interrogations of 22 May to 2 June 1950. At folio 700 is a report of a trip made by Fuchs under guard out of prison to show the location of meeting places and message posts in Kew Gardens. The file also includes photos and copies of passport applications for some of Fuchs' contacts.
KV 2/1256 includes notes on an investigation ordered by the Security Service into all aliens resident in the Richmond and Kew Gardens area prior to Fuchs' arrest. There is also correspondence about Fuchs' de-naturalisation, including a letter from the Nationality Division of the Home Office declaring the naturalisation cancelled and Fuchs' letter to the Home Secretary when he learned of this development. The file mentions meetings between Fuchs and his American handler Harry Gold, and also deals with information provided by Fuchs during his interrogation about a former co-internee who had developed a system for defence against atomic attack.
KV 2/1257 records how Fuchs was exempted from internment in 1939, and discusses other aspects of his life and contacts, including: the relationship between Fuchs and Erna Skinner; a family history of insanity; suspected associations with Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean (which are not substantiated by the file); approaches from a film company that wished to make a film about Fuchs' life (which he declined); and details of how Fuchs would arrange meetings with his co-conspirators (whereby a copy of Men Only would be dropped into a house in Kew Road by Fuchs when he wanted a meeting).
KV 2/1258 covers the period November 1951 to June 1952, during which the most interesting event is recorded in the report of the interview at Chartwell in June 1952 between the director of Branch B of the Security Service and Prime Minister Churchill about the Fuchs case, which had previously surfaced in the media again after an erroneous report in the Daily Express. The file also contains a photo of Fuchs, press cuttings, mostly American, relating to the Harry Gold case, and the question of a visit to the UK being made by Fuchs' father.
This visit is further discussed in KV 2/1259, where it is decided that there is no Security Service objection to the visit, but that Skardon should sit in if Fuchs senior decides to visit his son in prison. Assessment of the case continues on this file, and the possibility is raised in a minute of September 1952 that Fuchs may have mislead the Service about the time of his last contact with his Soviet controllers. The possibility is also raised that Fuchs may have confessed his espionage to Erna Skinner during their meeting at the Palm Court Hotel, Richmond the week before he did so to Skardon. The file also includes original alien registration forms and other material forwarded by the police in Edinburgh.
KV 2/1260 contains further copies of documents in Fuchs' possession when arrested and a list of property about his person at the time of his arrest.
KV 2/1261-1262 relate solely to offers of information about Fuchs from members of the public consequent upon his trial, dated February 1950 to February 1953.
KV 2/1263 contains evidence presented at Fuchs' trial. It includes the original signed manuscript and typed copy of Fuchs' statement to the police (27 January 1950), including in the manuscript Fuchs' initials to indicate approval of changes made to the text. There are also statements from other witnesses, including the head of security at Harwell and Sir J D Cockcroft, and The Security Service's initial summary report on the case. The file also includes (folio 17a) a telegram from the head of the Security Service, Percy Sillitoe, to the head of the FBI, J Edgar Hoover, denying Hoover's request to supply him with copies of Fuchs' statements on the grounds that this was not possible under British law (but offering Hoover any assistance where he could). Hoover's original request is not recorded on the file.
KV 2/1264 contains the Special Branch report of Fuchs' trial, and a further Security Service summary of the case made in March 1950 by Branch B2C. There is also a request from the Service to the Governor at Fuchs' prison that any letters to or from Fuchs should be copied to the Service for ongoing investigations. The file goes on to record the continuing efforts after the trial to identify which secret documents Fuchs had had access to (and might still have hidden somewhere), and there are lists on the file of classified documents seen by Fuchs.
Papers relating to Fuchs being stripped of his naturalised status, and to a book being written about the case in 1950-51 by Rebecca West, can be found in KV 2/1265.
The three files KV 2/1266-1268 contain the results of the surveillance carried out on Fuchs and some of his acquaintances in late 1949 and early 1950, and taps of his telephone conversations. They give a very detailed account of his daily activities in the time leading up to his approach to the head of security at Harwell.
KV 2/1269 features surveillance reports on Fuchs' daily routine in 1950-51, transcripts of telephone taps, including many with his suspected lover Erna Skinner, including a trip together to the Palm Court Hotel in Richmond.
KV 2/1270 includes the transcript of an interrogation with a fellow internee of Fuchs, describing the conditions of their internment, along with further surveillance reports on visits made to Fuchs in prison, mostly by friends identified in previous surveillance. There are also transcripts of telephone taps on Fuchs' house and office and on the house of Erna Skinner.

Eagle Creek - State Recreation Area
P.O. Box 16
Findlay, IL, 6253
In east central Illinois--just minutes from Springfield, Decatur, Champaign, Effingham and surrounding communities--the Eagle Creek/Wolf Creek sites, facing each other across the central portion of Lake Shelbyville, provide the perfect setting for outdoor recreation, natural relaxation, and luxurious accommodations for a day, a weekend, or even longer.
Four miles southeast of Findlay, the sites encompass 11,100-acres of water, 250 miles of shoreline and large tracts of carefully maintained indigenous woodland ideal for camping, hiking, horseback riding, snowmobiling, fishing, water skiing, pontoon boating, windsurfing or just plain bobbing and drifting on the glittering expanse of the lake itself.
In addition to the small, friendly wooded campgrounds and the action on the lake, large herds of deer frequent these areas and are always an exciting and inspiring sight.
Portions of the park have been cleared of physical barriers and are accessible to disabled visitors.
Like many other such areas, the Eagle Creek/Wolf Creek sites are perfect examples of the potential benefits of natural resource management. As a means of flood control, water supply and downstream water quality control, the Flood Control Act of 1958 authorized the Shelbyville Reservoir Project, which involved construction of a dam and creation of a lake. These practical necessities, however, would also allow for the actual conservation of fish and wildlife and the development of areas for exciting and varied recreational opportunities.
It was, of course, a monumental undertaking. Before actual work on the dam at Shelbyville could begin, several old mines in the area had to be completely filled in, cemeteries in the path of the planned lake had to be relocated, two gas and oil pipelines and roads rerouted, the old Shelby Power Plant demolished and land cleared and leveled on the west side of the channel which hugs the bluff to the east of the river bottom. Construction of this $56 million project began in May of 1963.
The dam itself is an earthen embankment towering 110 feet above the original stream bed. Its 3,025 feet long with a reinforced concrete, gate-controlled spillway to manipulate the water level and manage the 25,300 acres of its flood control pool.
Most of this work was done by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, and the land is now managed by the State of Illinois on a long-term lease from the federal government which began in 1968. By 1972, the area was open to the public providing primitive camping facilities. In the years since then, the State has purchased additional surrounding lands and made extensive improvements in campground, boat launches, day-use areas and hiking trails that make this a beautiful, well-tended and well-managed natural retreat.
The Eagle Creek State Recreation Area, a 2,200-acre site on the west side of Lake Shelbyville, has several fully developed picnic areas--complete with grills, tables, water and sanitary facilities--scattered conveniently throughout the park for the casual day visitor.
There are 35 Class A Reservable sites with electricity, showers, water hydrants, fire blocks and picnic tables. Class B/S, and Class D sites are available but not reservable. The Organized Group Camp area is reservable.
Boating and Fishing
From the four-lane launching ramp (adjacent to a 175-car parking lot), you can set out for a variety of water sports or lazy days of angling. In addition, there are two marinas on the lake providing a full range of boating and fishing supplies.
The miles of flooded brush, timber and rock rip-rap shorelines . . . the many points with submerges ridges . . . the hundreds of tributary streams emptying into Lake Shelbyville . . . provide prime and productive fishing areas, teeming with black and white crappie, largemouth bass, walleye, channel and flathead catfish, bluegill, muskie, bullhead, carp and sunfish.
Three marked nature trails are available for tranquil and refreshing sojorns in the forest, as well as a 12-mile backpack trail for the more adventurous hiker and a three-mile cross-country ski trail for invigorating wintertime activity.
In addition to designated areas of Eagle Creek itself, hunting is available in the 785-acre Eagle Creek Wildlife Area just to the west. Squirrel, rabbit and quail (shotguns only are allowed) or you can really test your skill stalking deer (bow and arrow only are allowed). A state hunting license is required as well as a seasonal hunting permit which is available for free from the park office.
The Department of Natural Resources also manages the Shelbyville State Fish and Wildlife Area --the 3,000-acre Kaskaskia Unit near Allenville, and the 3,000-acre West Okaw Unit near Bethany. Both are within 10 miles of the park and provide additional hunting opportunities.
Please check with park staff for specific information regarding species, shooting times and dates.

September 25, 3 PM: Final Concert of the 2011 West Porch Beech Tree Concert Series – CROSS ISLANDPosted by s21concerts in Concert Announcement, tags: Cello, clarinet, cross island, dasilva, husa, mueller, piano, rutkowski, schoenfield, Trio, warshauer, zayas
CROSS ISLAND – cellist Suzanne Mueller, and pianist Elinor Abrams Zayas – are joined by Joseph Rutkowski, Jr., clarinetist to finally play the concert postponed from August 14 due to severe weather – closing out the 2011 West Porch Beech Tree Concert Series at Old Westbury Gardens with a really special program of music they love from across the centuries, the world, and the musical spectrum.
Music by living composers will include:
The Big Picture, a jazz waltz by Mark McCarron, which will open the concert (and will be heard on CROSS ISLAND's new CD, Quiet Strength, scheduled for a November 1 release)
Bracha, a breathtaking work by Meira Warshauer, in a new cello/piano transcription created in collaboration with the composer (also on Quiet Strength, scheduled for a November 1 release).
Funeral for a Ball, a new solo cello work by Douglas DaSilva.
Relentless Machine, the third of Karel Husa's Three Studies for Solo Clarnet, performed in honor of the composer's 90th birthday this summer.
The Andante of Paul Schoenfield's Cafe Music (another Quiet Strength track) .
Other composers on the program will be Morton Gould, Arkadie Kouguell, Jacques Offenbach, George Gershwin, Cecile Chaminade, Enrique Granados, and Francisco Canaro, and there will also be a trio free improvisation.
Old Westbury Gardens is one of our favorite destinations on Long Island. With its historic mansion and incredibly gorgeous grounds (featured in movies from Love Story and North by Northwest to Hitch and American Gangster, and in television shows including Sex and the City and, most recently, Royal Pains), it's a great place to spend the day.
Unless we have an Indian Summer day, the concert will be in the Red Ballroom, with it's crystal clear acoustics and beautiful Steinway. If the weather cooperates, though, we'll be under the majestic tree that gives the series its name. Regardless, while you're there, take a tour of the house and/or gardens – the docents are both knowledgeable and welcoming.
The concert is free. Admission to the Gardens (including tours) is $10 for adults; $8 for mature adults (over 62); $5 for children 7-12; and free for children under 7.

My 2 cents In a WFO I use raw. I just split them and they puff up and get a great taste from the high heat.I'm thinking any release of moisture is quickly evaporated in the 900 degree ovenI've also made a pie with chunks of cold water lobster tails...same great result.
If the shrimp are large, I cut them into smaller pieces and put them onto the pizza raw, as I did, for example, for the pizza that I described in Reply 8 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,9362.msg81960/topicseen.html#msg81960. Peter

The green oxidation on the snout suggests that it might be some alloy of copper, perhaps nickel silver (which, despite the name, has no silver in it, but does look like silver... it's usually copper, nickel, and zinc) or cupronickel (just copper and nickel). Either way, alloys of questionable origin are also questionable for food use, so you are wise to use it for display only.
The base of the pot claims it's from the Ming dynasty, which is why I said it's fake. It's usually sold as silver (you can find these things on eBay)

The PRS P22 Pattern Regular Neck Flame 10-Top Electric Guitar is the company's first piezo-equipped solidbody guitar. The P22 comes standard with a figured maple top, mahogany back, mahogany neck with a 22 fret rosewood fingerboard, and a redesigned PRS/LR Baggs piezo system. PRS and LR Baggs partnered more than a decade ago to design the piezo system found in PRSs popular hollowbody models.
This new system retains the same circuit design as the existing system, giving the P22 the same tonal authenticity and real world practicality as PRS hollowbody guitars. The redesign of the board itself yielded a version that is more than 60% smaller than the original PRS/LR Baggs system, allowing it to comfortably inhabit a solidbody guitar. Uncovered 53/10 pickups round out this guitars specifications and help define the P22s voice. Seperate acoustic and electric outputs are available with the option to combine both pickup systems through a single output using use onboard controls to adjust the balance.
Piezo systems have long allowed guitarists the versatility of wielding both acoustic and electric guitar tones in one instrument. The PRS Hollowbody II and Singlecut Hollowbody II both come standard with the original PRS/LR Baggs piezo and have achieved a great level of popularity in PRS Guitars product line. The addition of a solidbody model will give musicians a new and unique tool to add to their own lineup.

Comments about PRS P22 Pattern Regular Neck Flame 10-Top Electric Guitar:
This guitar is a typical PRS: incredible construction and aesthetics. What makes this particular PRS so unique is that it is a standard Solid Body electric guitar that includes a 2nd output for the Piezo pickup. I have never heard a piezo pickup in a solid body that sounded as good as an Acoustic. This guitar changes the game. The acoustic sound you get through the piezo is nothing short of astounding.
I bought this guitar so that I could serve in a band as the acoustic, rhythm electric, and lead electric in places. An example: start a song playing lead electric through the intro. Flip a switch and then play acoustic through the verses. On the Chorus, acoustic AND rhythm electric. Back to lead electric for the Intro.
The possibilities are endless. No need to switch guitars on stage, just flip a switch. I have also run the two outputs into an ABY so that I can control the switching with my foot.
I am drawn to PRS guitars. Unique look and tone. For my personal preferences, PRS is the way to go.

Kautokeino November 19, 2002 - Over fifty representatives of the University of the Arctic member institutions met in Tromso and Kautokeino, Norway from Nov. 11-18, 2002 for the Council meeting of the University of the Arctic.
Five new members were accepted into this network of higher education institutions: University Courses on Svalbard (UNIS), and Finnmark University College in Norway, Yakutsk Agricultural Academy and the Arctic State Institute for Culture and Arts in the Sakha Republic of Russia, as well as the University of Saskatchewan in Canada.
"It is exciting that our membership is so inclusive," commented Sally Webber, Chair of the Council. "This unique partnership of small and large institutions, as well as indigenous peoples organizations is a true celebration of our Shared Voices principle."
The total number of members is now 46 institutions and organizations from Norway, Finland, Sweden, the United States, Denmark/Greenland, Russia, Canada and Scotland. The University of the Arctic is now moving from planning to implementation. The Council discussed plans for the delivery of the Bachelor of Circumpolar Studies (BCS) curriculum.
The next pilot courses, with funding from the Nordic Council of Ministers, will be offered online to students in eight of the member institutions through the UArctic online portal residing at Athabasca University in Canada. Greg Poelzer, Chair of the BCS Program Team, commented "This is real. We have real students participating in real UArctic programs in eight Arctic countries. All the planning that went into the organization and the curriculum is paying off -- it is now happening. I am really excited."
Björn Haugstad, State Secretary in the Norwegian Ministry of Education, responsible for Higher Education, finished his address to the Council in Tromso with a quote from the Ministerial Declaration of the Arctic Council in Ivalo, Finland, earlier this year: "The Declaration welcomes 'the good progress of the University of the Arctic and encourages appropriate authorities in the Arctic states to increase their efforts to secure financing of the core activities of UArctic.' Representing one of these authorities, I admit to my responsibility."
With this clear reiteration of not only the support of Norway but the governments in all the Arctic states, State Secretary Haugstad laid a foundation for a further process for the University of the Arctic to work with the Icelandic Chair of the Arctic Council to increase the participation of higher education authorities in implementing the sustainable development work of the Arctic Council. Recognizing Iceland's key role for UArctic in the next two years, the Council welcomed the invitation from the University of Akureyri and the Stefansson Arctic Institute in Akureyri, Iceland, to host the next Council meeting. This meeting will be held in conjunction with the first meeting of the Senior Arctic Officials of the Arctic Council under Icelandic chairmanship in April 2002.
"It has been truly valuable to meet in a real Northern community, Kautokeino", commented Lars Kullerud, Director of the University of the Arctic. "The feeling of warmth and welcome from the local community gave us a true sense that the work we are doing is important and needed. I am really pleased that the Council will meet in another northern community, Akureyri, in the spring."
State Secretary Haugstad referred to the role of UArctic for Northern communities in another comment where he discussed the UArctic curriculum and the north-north student mobility program: "It is important to have competence in issues that impact the Northern societies-tourism, sustainable development and good governance are key topics. It is important to open higher education to northerners that historically may not be that eager to enter the academic systems, and it is important to get the possibility to study within the region." On this, everyone seemed to agree.

Counting cranes
November 12, 2005
Marlena Hartz: Freedom Newspapers
MULESHOE — From the cab of his white pickup truck, Harold Beierman scans the quiet lakes. He is checking up on some seasonal guests. Peering through a pair of binoculars, he counts the leggy birds, one by one.
Beierman will do this every dawn until winter ends.
He estimates 16,000 sandhill cranes have chosen the Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge as a roosting site — or a place of temporary rest — this autumn.
The birds sleep at the edges of three saline lakes on the refuge. And Beierman, the wildlife refuge manager, has about 10 minutes to complete his morning head count. As soon as the sun comes up, the cranes fly away, to return only at sunset.
Their daily departure and return transforms the skies: Once aloft, the birds appear tiny, like ant colonies in a brilliant pink and blue sky. It is not the sight of the cranes Beierman finds most impressive, however. It is their sounds.
"The sound of them taking off in the morning is almost like the roar of a jet engine — all those wings," Beierman said.
Even with wings at rest, sandhill cranes are vocal. Though the call of a solitary crane is similar to a dove-like coo, together, the calls — commonly elicited upon return to roost — generate an almost deafening buzz.
Beierman said the cranes, native to Alaska and Canada, are drawn to the refuge for its lakes and its proximity to agricultural crops. The birds gorge primarily on nearby milo crops, Beierman said.
"The farmers around here are pretty used to it. This has been going on for years," Beierman said.
A few farmers, however, use timed propane gas explosions to discourage the cranes from feasting in their fields, Beierman said.
The migratory patterns of the sandhill cranes have slowly shifted over the past few years, Beierman said. Western parts of the country and refuges south of Muleshoe have been attracting greater numbers of cranes, he said.
The Grulla National Wildlife Refuge, located near Arch, is now harboring an estimated 125,000 sandhill cranes, according to a Fish and Wildlife Service press release. The Muleshoe refuge hosted a peak number of cranes — 250,000 — in February of 1981.

About the Author: Kurt Volker serves as U.S. Permanent Representative to NATO.
President Obama scored a huge success at his first NATO Summit -- a strong sense of transatlantic unity, a common strategy and some significant new contributions on Afghanistan, two new NATO Members, France reintegrating into NATO military structures for the first time since the 1960's, and the decision to write a new NATO strategic concept to focus NATO on the security threats of the future. NATO even picked a new Secretary General -- pretty big stuff.
Getting these kinds of results is the culmination of months of diplomatic efforts -- building trust and consensus with Allies, identifying key challenges (such as training Afghan security forces), pinpointing political obstacles and figuring out how to remove them, working with military and colleagues in NATO's military headquarters and in Afghanistan, and building public support around Europe.
We had teams of people:
• A three-embassy logistics team to put together a massive Summit meeting held by NATO, taking place in both Germany and France.
• A strong interagency team of Washington officials from the State Department, Pentagon, and National Security Council.
• A team of military, DoD civilian, and Foreign Service officers, all with experience in Afghanistan, working out of the U.S. Mission and putting the diplomatic, military, and policy pieces together.
• A team of public diplomacy experts identifying our key messages and using a variety of means -- from videos to blogs to TV, radio, and print interviews to even getting the original NATO Treaty out of the National Archives and across the Atlantic -- to reach out to a wide public audience.
In the days prior to the Summit, we worked country-by-country to nail down contributions of military training teams for the Afghan National Army. And on the day of the Summit itself, there was tremendous anticipation as leaders reached consensus on the selection of NATO's next Secretary General.
Senior officials were called into a side room to strike an agreement on missile defense, while elsewhere diplomats hammered out the final points that sealed the deal on French reintegration.
The public image of a summit often masks an enormous amount of work and productivity that lead to the kind of results we saw in Strasbourg and Kehl.
Read Ambassador Volker's previous entry about the NATO Ministerial in Brussels.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Ambassador Volker, In reference to my previous post of Sat Apr 04, on
Since 9/11, the US military has been rotating troops in and out of combat zones to the point that today perhaps 90% of all U.S. military personel have either served in combat directly, in direct support of combat ops, or in-theater logistics.
Which means that not only do we have the best trained, best equipped military on Earth, but the most combat experienced force in the world today.
Can you please tell me what percentage of forces overall from all other NATO members combined have direct combat experience?
Obviously the level of experience directly correlates to the level of effective common defense NATO can deliver to its citizens under its influence as a military structure.
Why it is that the 25 other nations involved can't bring themselves to come up with 17,000 combat troops to match this one member's commitment to the common defense and common cause in Afghanistan is beyond all logical comprehention, and if you would take a stab at explaining this quandry to me, I would certainly appreciate that as well sir.
I regard this as a sole and separate issue from training and support personel involved in any civilian effort and commitments made.

I honored to write the U.S. Presidency, my congrats to the new President on the job! His recent visit to London for the G20 meeting fills everyone -- EVEN NON-AMERICANS with so much zeal and exitement. He is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Well the reason why I am writing is because of the current Somali situation where pirates go about hijacking vessels. May I suggest that the press should be advised against giving undue attention to those crooks because that is what they crave, no negotiations or ransom instead massive pressure should be mounted on Somali govt. and the African Union, surely they can stand aside and let this cankerworm develope over the years into a tragedy and also various international countries whose trade zones cuts accross that route must step up immediately as this is not a U.S. problem alone. The last time it was a Saudi Vessel but definitely things can't and should never be allowed to go on like this. I am shocked the press is busy going on about this being a test of Mr President at a time when they ought to be call on African leaders to safeguard their foreign trade/investments by stepping up joint security measures to monitor, pursue and bring those hoodlums to justice.

Rated 5 out of 5�by sherlock1827 GREAT SOCK The socks stay up all day and all night long. very comfortable. October 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Basicbrand Stays over calf all day I wear work boots all day and these socks stay up all day long. They wick away moisture and are very comfortable June 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by countdowntoretirement field and stream all season sock Great socks with light compression. Perfect under my tall Muck boots (keep boot from rubbing on bare leg). Bought one pkg and went back and bought 3 more! Price is a little high for socks, but comparable to other quality socks. Wash and dry without losing shape in machines. February 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by bestdarngood Very nice socks Once of the best pairs of socks I have owned. This is the second set I have bought in my lifetime and have not been disappointed yet. They are very comfortable and for hunting I wear them as my first layer of socks to whisk away sweat and regulate the temperature of my feet while I have a thicker thermal pair for keeping in the heat. My feet haven't been hold since I started using them for hunting. And then for normal use, I wear them all winter as they are very comfortable and warm in general. November 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Madone57 found my perfect work sock...almost Love these socks. I need to wear a compression sock for health reasons and as stated in other reviews, the ones the Dr. orders are thin, don't last and are expensive. These fit well. Compression is enough to aid circulation without feeling like a tourniquet.Stand up to washing and wearing for years. Keep feet warm without sweat. One complaint...please consider offering a color besides brown.My uniform (requires) black socks. Strongly recommend. November 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jim Great Over the Calf Socks These are great socks! I'm 6'5" and don't typically find socks that fit well over large calfs. These do, stay up , and they're not too tight. They have kept their shape and haven't shrank. They are a good mid-weight year round sock. September 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by jocolli Perfect weight over the calf socks These are the perfect weight over the calf sock. They stay up without cinching. Yet, they aren't too thick. They aren't "heavy" yet they stay warm. I bought my first couple pair last year. And, just found these against on this sight. And, yes, I am glad they are still making these! In fact,I just bought four more pair b/c these are simply my favorite socks! October 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Cholly60 nice! Husband loves them ...because they're high, don't fall down and are comfortable. Also, they hold their shape, March 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by No More Swollen Ankles Great socks for circulation I have found that if I wear support socks that I don't have swelling in my legs and feet and these socks are thicker and warmer than socks at medical supply. January 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Big Boy Excellent outdoor-grade COMPRESSION sock for those with big calfs... I am a muscular man with fat over muscle, so have I very big calfs. Most "boot" type socks are too tight to pull over the calf or stop mid-calf, eventually cutting off circulation and leaving indentation rings, so finding a sock that TRULY works for me is a BLESSING! These Field & Stream socks are perfect for my needs... They are well-made and rise up all the way to my upper calf, just below my knee. More importantly, the are elastic enough to slip over my calfs and they offer a great COMPRESSION fit that really does feel nice after many hours of wearing them. I am so impressed! But they are expensive... I plan on buying a pair every pay period until I have a drawer full of them, and my other socks are going to Goodwill... January 17, 2013

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (18 votes).
In short: Nice organisation - shame about the course!In full: Last year I DNF'd this race because I was bored with it. This year I chose to do it because I wanted to look boredom in the eye while supporting a well-organised, friendly, good-value race that deserves its popularity. KRRAC put on a great event, with the marathon and 35-mile ultra running concurrently. The atmosphere is friendly, informal and supportive, and the finish couldn't be better, with tea and coffee, chocolate biscuits, the best bread pudding EVER, and the goody-bag has proper food and a good-quality t-shirt in it. The course, however, is five laps of a reservoir and I found it grindingly dull. I came away thinking, "I NEVER want to see Draycote Water again." But d'you know what? I'll probably be back :o)Date of review: March 3, 2009
In short: A small field, a well organised and friendly event. I've completed the 26.2 twice now. I think I'll have a crack at the 35 miler in 2010.Date of review: February 28, 2009
In short: This race I look forward to every yearIn full: Well organised, very friendly, excellent start to the new marathon season, this 5 lap race is never boaring, and a pure joy to enter each year.Date of review: February 27, 2009
In short: Excellent low key friendly race.In full: I had my first ever DNF in many years of running but that does not take the gloss of what is a fine race.The atmosphere was excellent amongst all the runners and marshalls/lap counters completed their jobs efficiently and with good humour. As others have stated the 2 marshalls stood in the gail for hours on end deserve special praise. Thanks guys!Small touches like the free tea/coffee and biscuit at the finish were appreciated by all.My thanks to all at Kenilworth Runners. Date of review: February 25, 2009
In short: Hard to fault - flat fast course + efficient friendly organisationIn full: Ideal for those who like small friendly races. Don't be put off by the fact this is five laps - in fact this helps since it means you get a steady stream of folk passing you or for you to catch.Date of review: February 24, 2009
In short: well organised raceIn full: first time running laps and I resisted the temptation to duck out with one to go!pb so pleased with that,measured slightly long on my garmin?would do again ,thanks and well done to the organisers and in paticular the marshalls by the boathouse where it was galeforce all day!Date of review: February 23, 2009
In short: Brilliant race, real PB potential, very friendlyIn full: Great friendly race on a nice flat course round the lake. Marshals were brilliant, and the laps meant you kept on seeing people (in the marathon or ultra) and could pass on encouragement. Great mile markers too (was expecting only every few miles but each mile had a marker). I'll definately be back - well done in organising guys! Date of review: February 22, 2009
In short: Great race - Excellent for PB In full: Excellent race - v. well organised - Marshalls superb (especially the poor s*d left to freeze in the wind off the lake past the yacht club) - almost flat but the few small inclines were a right royal pain in the backside the fifth time around. All round brilliant and I PB'ed.Date of review: February 22, 2009
In short: Godd fast flat marathonIn full: Great marshalls and organisation, had a good run so happy daysDate of review: February 22, 2009
In short: A well organised and friendly marathon.In full: Tough conditions this year with the strong breezy and cold temperatures. However, an event that is well organised but low-key, efficient lap-counting, friendly marshals and great support in pockets along the route and from fellow runners/runners using the crcuit for training.The course is reasonably flat but is broken up by a couple of tricky hills - these of course became more challenging as the race progressed.Decent goodie bag, and generous post race refreshments (free) of tea/coffee, cake and biscuits - good that the organisers weren't trying to make a fast buck unlike events companies charging £1 upwards for a hot drink - thanks.Thanks to all the hard work from Kenilworth Runners and I'll see you in 2010.

With one day until Americans celebrate Thanksgiving, USParalympics.org asked some of the nation's top Paralympic athletes to talk about everything Thanksgiving, including their favorite Thanksgiving traditions and memories. Stay tuned throughout the week for more Thanksgiving chatter with U.S. Paralympians and hopefuls.
Wednesday's questions
What is your favorite Thanksgiving tradition?
Victoria Arlen, swimming
"My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is just being able to have all my family and friends together and laughing and catching up. Were all so busy so it's nice to have a day where we cook a beautiful breakfast, watch the parade, laugh and prepare for Thanksgiving dinner. My brothers always play football and my mom and dad cook and bake. Then my cousins come over and we all play games and hang out."
Cat Bouwkamp, wheelchair fencing
"The best tradition on Thanksgiving would have to be the Macy's Parade, watching all the performers and seeing all the winter cheer."
Steve Cash, sled hockey
"My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is going out into the backyard for some football and being able to enjoy my time with family members that I don't get to see too often otherwise. It is something I look forward to every year."
Ryan Estep, wheelchair fencing
"My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is the skeet (clay bird) competition that we have every year."
Lex Gillette, track and field
"My favorite Thanksgiving tradition would have to be my family holding hands and circling up to pray before dinner. It makes me feel as though we are truly one family, united, all for one and one for all."
Emmy Kaiser, wheelchair tennis
"We don't really have any traditions other than my Uncle Jim is the one who always cuts up the turkey."
Taylor Lipsett, sled hockey
"I would have to say watching the Dallas Cowboy's game with my family, no matter how bad we are."
Angela Madsen, track and field
"Surfing. When I am home or any place near the beach, I like to surf on holidays, even Thanksgiving."
J. Dee Marinko, sitting volleyball
"I would have to say my favorite memory is when I was little, we would get all of the cousins and go out and play a game of football after we ate. Now since we all have kids, it is fun to watch our kids go out and play a game of ball."
Asya Miller, goalball
"I love having a family game night."
Kerri Morgan, track and field
"On Thanksgiving, I love spending time with family, playing games, eating a lot of food and watching sports."
Greta Neimanas, para-cycling
"It's not a tradition, really, but it's so nice to get together with family and friends for the holiday and simply spend time with each other. Living away from 'the nest' means that family time is something that gets sacrificed so seeing everyone is always a treat."
Justin Zook, swimming
"To be completely honest, I have not always spent Thanksgiving with my own family. Many times I was located somewhere different than my family and spent the holiday with friends or other family members. My favorite memories are getting to sit down and watch football with my Grandpa Gene and my dad Stuart."
What is your favorite Thanksgiving memory?
Victoria Arlen, swimming
"My favorite Thanksgiving memory would have to be when I had been in the hospital for several months and the doctors allowed me to go home for a few hours to spend time with my family. I truly realized how thankful I was to be alive and spend this precious time with my family and friends."
Cat Bouwkamp, wheelchair fencing
"My favorite Thanksgiving memory would probably be when my entire family came in from Tennessee, Colorado and Michigan. It was so great seeing everyone together."
Steve Cash, sled hockey
"My favorite Thanksgiving memory is when our dog, Ashley, somehow managed to get into the fridge and help herself to the leftover turkey all while we were in the other room. She must have heard how good it was."
Kelly Crowley, para-cycling
"One year my cousins and I were laughing so uproariously and uncontrollably in the 'kids' dining room – some of my cousins were well into their 30s – that the adults had to come in and ask us to turn it down a notch. I think that was the year my cousin introduced us to the 'mashed potato factory'. But then again, we've had so many meals in that room, they all kind of blur together into one loud, silly memory."
Ryan Estep, wheelchair fencing
"Playing checkers with my Uncle Doyle when I was younger was always fun. We still play but the games seemed more intense when I was younger. Great memories."
Lex Gillette, track and field
"Although it is really vague, I would have to say that my favorite Thanksgiving memory was when I had the ability to visually see my family during the holiday, having the chance to see my family's interaction and the happiness on their smiling faces."
Emmy Kaiser, wheelchair tennis
"There isn't really one Thanksgiving memory that stands out since every year it always consists of great food and fun conversations."
J. Dee Marinko, sitting volleyball
"I would have to say it would be Thanksgiving 2003. My mom just got done with her treatments for breast cancer and we all were there to celebrate her being there and clean from the cancer."
Kerri Morgan, track and field
"Spending Thanksgiving with my family is always a great memory and helping my grandma make homemade stuffing."
Justin Zook, swimming
"My favorite memories are getting to sit down and watch football with my Grandpa Gene and my dad Stuart. Many times I would have surgery during the winter months, which means Thanksgiving did not include a lot of outdoor activities for me. Getting to sit around with my father and grandpa is something I will never forget."

Do you remember our story on the disabled kids from the Ronald McDonald House in New York who got an unscheduled opportunity to meet Pope Benedict? If you were touched by that story, you'll be even more touched by this Dominican Friars blog post which includes a YouTube video of TV coverage of the event. It's one more example of how people were amazed with their personal encounters with the pope.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (270 votes).
In short: Not quite a PB - but very closeIn full: Allthough not in my normal stomping groung I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend away. Date of review: November 23, 2009
In full: Assuming that you get into a decent place at the start this race cannot be beaten for PB potential. Getting where you need to be at the start is the challenge though - I learnt this last year so turned up extra early this year - not really the organisers fault - problem mainly caused by people being a tinsy bit optimistic about their times I feel! Being a boring race I broke a golden rule of mine and ran this race with my i-pod. That said the organisers do a good job on the whole - the sheer volume of people milling around at the start is the problem - not sure about an extra 2,000 next year - lucky for me I now were all the loos are in Leeds so didn't need to join the dreaded Portaloo queues !Plenty of encouraging marshalls and some nice touches - the drummers and Help The Aged "cheerleader types" towards the end and the text message with time/position. Also nice quality Tee-Shirt. After the finish I had to wander around looking for somewhere to deposit my timing chip - thanks to the nice chap for letting me know!Back next year - nice and early again - and sorry I am keeping my secret toilet location to myself!!Date of review: November 23, 2009
In short: Boring route - good job it's only 10kIn full: This is my first 10k, and if I ever do one again, I doubt it would be this one. Providing a dozen portaloos for 8000 runners could leave you caught short, and leaving some of them on the back of the truck is almost criminal! Very few spectators en route which meant a lack of atmosphere, and the straight out and back route was dull. No goody bag, but a reasonable T shirt. I found myself struggling to hold on to my T shirt whilst undoing my laces to remove my chip, so a bag would have helped. Even the luggage labels were hand made; cost cutting at every opportunity? I know it's for charity, but of the dozen or so races I've done, I enjoyed this one the least.Date of review: November 23, 2009
In short: Fast flat, great for first timersIn full: Great atmosphere. Liked the text times. Dull route but great for PB's. Price wise, it's a bit on the steep side but it is for a good cause so this shouldn't put people off too much. Tip... there are loads of places nearby to use toilet facilities if you are caught short instead of queuing at the portaloos.Date of review: November 23, 2009
In short: Fairly flat, fast and definate PB potential!!In full: Very good race, course not very interesting juat a straight out and back but crowds all along the way. The starting pens helped to put people in the right order so walkers were near the back and faster runners near the front. T-shirt, water and lucozade at the finish. Perhaps next year bigger bins for collecting the chips as it wasnt easy to spot someone carrying a bucket!Date of review: November 23, 2009
In short: Great course for a potential PB, weather permitting.In full: Great event again. Start and finish areas well setup and marshalled. A little difficult to get into start chute, if you take notice of the marshalls. Agree with a previous comment about warmup areas, however I ran backwards down the course and managed 1.5 miles with strides, no problem. Much better getting the Tshirt on the day this year. Water and Lucozade drinks provided at the end were a great touch. Good support from the public and the course marshalls along the entire course. I will definitely do this again. I shaved 16 seconds off my PB this year, but this has potential for whole lot more if it hadn't been so windy.Date of review: November 23, 2009
In short: Flat but unispring course but worth it for PBIn full: Main problem at start was shortage of loos. 20 minutes before start there were still half a dozen on the back of a truck. Access to start area was fine though relied on runners honesty to place themself in right area. Course flat and there must have been plenty of PB's. I beat mine by 3 1/2 minutes (although to be fair I've only done 3 !)Date of review: November 23, 2009
In short: Poor organisation lets down a fast runIn full: Well...I can't believe the lack of organisation! There were about 4 toilets and the queues were ridiculous, some people were waiting for ages whilst some just jumped into the loos that were overlooked as they were next to the mens urinals. It was a free-for-all! There was an overkill of barriers which, when combined with lots of people, just caused chaos - I couldn't get anywhere I needed to be! Also the information said town centre parking was free... the one we parked in wasn't! No worries, tho - it's to be expected in Leeds. I loved the run, flat and fast for a PB and my partner smashed his PB by about 5 minutes! I also loved the text telling me my time straight after the run - but my partner never recieved his? Perhaps it was because, on finishing the run, more chaos ensued as you tried to track down a bucket to put your chip in! If Help the Aged are considering a further 2,000 places next year they need to seriously look at on-the-day organisation. If it improves I'll certainly be there next year to get that pesky 48 seconds of my time! Date of review: November 23, 2009
In short: Well organised fast race.In full: Very fast race which is lucky as it's not the most interesting route!! I found it very well organsied and the atmosphere was great. This was the first time I have run this race since 2004 and the route has changed quite a bit which makes it that little bit faster.Date of review: November 23, 2009
In short: Rating for 2009 race!!!!In full: This just may be getting too big - I know Help the Aged make lots of money, and I know it's great for new runners to have a bash, but to have only one way into the start pens (from the back) and nowhere to warm up (unless standing still aerobics is your thing) then for club runners looking at actually running the thing then it's not the best. Very fast, chip timing, closed roads etc make it brilliant - but nowhere near enough toilets (I had to run "fully loaded" - sorry...), and that daft start system that meant pushing through thousands of people to get anywhere near the right place meant it wasn't the event it used to be. And then they say they want 2,000 MORE next year???Date of review: November 22, 2009

Mephisto Kimona Black Suede Women's Shoe
Features include:
I thought several months about spending this much for a pair of shoes. I gave in because of the style. I wish I would have kept thinking instead of actually purchasing . The insoles are smooth shiny leather and with the wedge your food slides forward into the toe of the shoe. These shoes need another type of insole. . The insole provides NO arch support t all. I had to put another brand of insole in the shoe to be able to wear them. I have a several pair of mephisto shoes and sandles and they always make feet smelly. This is the only brand that does this .
