Norma, I looked at your deep fried pizzas and was amazed. I'd never thought of that. What a great idea! When we entertain, it is always fun to have some sort of "amuse bouche" - a sort of single bite flavor enticer - for the quests. A bit size mini-pizza on deep fried dough. Oh Yeah!

The Digital Skeptic: Shirley Jones is No Fan of Apple (or Any Technology)
"I have some things from Brookstone, maybe a Nokia
Jones was signing autographs, making chatter and bringing some much needed luster -- she looked fabulous, by the way -- to a tech vendor event here on New York's west side. That's the nitty-gritty of what we geek analysts do: show up and troll through large rooms full of company representatives, showing off the latest devices from the likes of Samsung, Lenovo and Blackberry
Electronics has officially become an extension of the Web these days -- 10,000 sites and nothing on.
Until I started talking with Ms. Jones. And, wouldn't you know it, the once and future star of The Partridge Family, Oklahoma, The Music Man and many other films, plays and TV shows turned out to pack some serious tech investor street cred.
"I just think most of this is just so boring," she said, as she sipped her martini during a break from signing autographs, gesturing around a room full of so-called cutting-edge tech.
A $25 million Jones
Investors would be foolish to dismiss this Academy Award-winning actress -- she was so great in Elmer Gantry -- as illiterate to the ways of money.
CelebrityNetWorth.com estimates she's worth about $25 million, an impression confirmed by what had to be 10 carats of jewelry on her wedding ring finger and the clear look of satisfaction from someone whose agent site says she fetches between $10,000 and $20,000 per appearance. Tonight she was doing nothing more than sitting under a giant fake TV, signing autographs.
The more I spoke with Ms. Jones, the more I realized she not only knows her technology; I had found a sister in skeptical arms.
When I asked her about how she manages social media or communicates with her kids, "On the phone. What else would you use?" she said. "I have 12 grandkids. They don't use Facebook anymore."

No More Gels - Page 2
$2.50 per bag, $24 per 12-pack box
Fed up with "synthetic energy bars and gels" and heavily processed pre-packaged recovery snacks, Tim Schlitzer and Jerry Amabile founded TRY Chips, an "Action Snack" company that produces all-natural freeze-dried fruit, spice and tea snacks.
Red apples are used as the base ingredient of each 100-calorie bag, because of their quercetin content, which researchers have found to increase performance capacity. Plus, each serving is rich in antioxidants, thanks to acai berry, pomegranate, maqui berry and green tea.
The snack bags are designed to be enjoyed post run because the small, crunchy fruit pieces are difficult to eat while running. We liked them so much, though, that we pulled out the slightly larger banana slices, and chomped on them mid-run, saving the rest of the goodies for later. One tester however, complained that even though he liked the flavors, the chips were too dry, which made them hard to down on the go.
Good news is on the horizon: This spring, TRY CHIPS is rolling out smaller runner-friendly bags of freeze-dried bananas and kiwis.

New York Yankees Mickey Mantle Autographed Memorabilia and Collectibles
Mickey Mantle was one of the most talented and beloved ball players to ever wear the New York Yankees pinstripes. Seven World Series victories and 20 All-Star game appearances makes Mantle one of the greatest MLB players to have graced the diamond. A true baseball legend, Mickey Mantle's legacy and history lives on for all to admire.
The Mick started in the minor leagues in 1949 but just two short years later, Mantle was playing in the Major Leagues for the New York Yankees. Quickly rising to the top, The Commerce Comet was named to his first All-Star team in 1952, just one year after debuting.
The 1950s and 60's belonged to this MLB Great. With seven World Series titles, Mickey Mantle did what few can ever accomplish. In 1956 Mantle became the first player to win the coveted Triple Crown title while leading the American League in hits, home runs and RBIs. Joining the ranks of another Yankee Great, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle forever left a mark on the famed Yankees franchise.
In his 18 year career with the Yankees, Mantle created a career that will live on in MLB history forever. In 1968, immediately following his retirement, Mickey Mantle's great number 7 jersey was retired. In 1974 The Mick was enshrined in the national Baseball Hall of Fame, forever leaving his mark on history.
With each passing year, the value of Mickey Mantle memorabilia continues to increase. Now is the time to honor the Yankees legend with rare and unique items, including:
- Autographed Baseballs: The Mick hit 536 of these out of the park before he called it quits, the third most of all time at the time of his retirement in 1968. Bring home a piece of MLB history with a hand-signed baseball. Many balls are even more unique with inscriptions documenting one of the memorable moments in this slugger's career. With a large selection to choose from, you can add an authentic Mantle signed ball to your collection. Perfect for any man cave or office, a Mantle ball looks great displayed with pride.
- Mantle Signed Baseball Bats: Mantle was a known slugger, nailing over 500 dingers well into the stands. Now you can take home a piece of history with a Mickey Mantle signed bat. Guaranteed to be authentic, you can display your Yankee pride with a rare signed bat from the famed number 7 Yankee. A bat signed by Mickey Mantle is one of the most desirable items a baseball fan can ask for, and now is your chance to have this wonderful sports collectible headline your collection in your office or sports room.
- Autographed Photos – Some of the most iconic pictures in the deep history of baseball are brought to us by the Commerce Comet Mickey Mantle. Our wide variety of authentic autographed photos celebrate the career of the Hall of Famer, including signed pictures of The Mick with fellow Yankee greats like Joe DiMaggio, Whitey Ford, and Yogi Berra. Mickey Mantle signed memorabilia is some of the most craved baseball merchandise available today and would be sure to headline sports memorabilia collections of all sorts and sizes.

text: Piper Pucksters Power Past JohnniesThe Piper power play exploded at just the right moment Friday night. Hamline's three goals with the extra man proved to be the ignition that fueled a critical 5-1 victory over Friday night at Vadnais Heights. Brian Arrigoni had a goal and two assists as Hamline jumped back into a tie for second place with Concordia in the tight MIAC race. Jordan VanGilder, Danny Muck and Sam Leslie had a goal and an assist to help the defending conference champs improve to 8-11-2 overall on the season, 5-6-1 in the MIAC. Unlike the night before, the Pipers carried the play most of the night. They outshot the Johnnies, 12-8, in the first period but left the ice down 1-0. Leslie evened matters with a goal 10:53 into the middle frame. Arrigoni then gave HU the lead when he whistled a shot from the right point for his league leading 13th goal of the season at 18:01. The Pipers then revered what had occurred the night before with three goals of their own in the final six minutes of the game. Much started the barrage with his first of the year while on a two-man advantage at 14:10. Since the second of those penalties on the Johnnies was a major, Hamline was still up a man. Ryan McElhone took advantage for a goal at 16:18. VanGilder then finished the night off with an empty netter at 19:46. In all, Hamline outshot St. John's, 38-25 for the night. The Pipers return to action next Thursday night when they face Gustavus Adolphus. The game will be at St. Paul Academy's Drake Arena. Game time is 8:00 p.m. Box score

More flood aid? Legislature mulls multiple bills
Minot-area residents still recovering from the 2011 flood could get additional help from the 2013 Legislature.
Minot legislators have introduced bills that would extend the Rebuilders Loan Program and open it to more borrowers. There's also a proposed income-tax credit for 2011 flood victims in addition to the flood assistance offered by Gov. Jack Dalrymple in his proposed 2013-15 budget.
Rep. Scott Louser, R-Minot, introduced House Bill 1184, which would give flood victims an income-tax credit equal to the taxes they paid for the years 2011 and 2012. The bill was heard in committee Monday, along with another bill that Louser introduced to suspend the state income tax for two years.
HB 1184 allows for the flood-related credit to carry over up to five years so it could be taken once a suspended income tax resumes. Depending on what the Legislature does with the state income tax long-term, though, the flood credit could be affected.
"Clearly, that's going to have to be addressed," Louser said of the situation if both bills pass. He said both bills have merit and need to be discussed as part of an overall look at reducing the tax burden in the state.
A tax credit for flooded residents is needed because money from the Federal Emergency Management Agency wasn't enough to get people back on their feet, he said. Some people didn't even receive the FEMA money, he added.
Louser said there's talk of a constitutional amendment that would eliminate constraints on direct financial aid to disaster victims and enable the state to do more for individuals. The Legislature would have to decide whether to place the question on the ballot. Constitutional amendments require voter approval. The next statewide election will be in June 2014.
North Dakota's aid to flood-affected homeowners has focused on the Rebuilders Loan Program. The program provides up to $30,000 at 1 percent interest to rebuild a primary residence.
Louser is sponsoring House Bill 1185 to enable landlords to access the fund to rebuild flood-damaged rental properties. The bill was heard in committee Tuesday.
A similar proposal failed when the $50 million Rebuilders Loan Fund was created in a November 2011 special session. Legislators might view the proposal differently this session due to leftover funds in the account, Louser said.
The fund has about $8.5 million uncommitted. The Bank of North Dakota still has 18 pending requests totaling $516,000.
As of Friday, the bank had closed on 1,407 loans, although 17 of those had not yet been submitted for funding. Another 26 approved loans had yet to close. Homeowners from the Minot area account for 95 percent of approved applications. The remainder were from the Bismarck-Mandan area. The application deadline was Sept. 30, 2012.
Sen. Karen Krebsbach, R-Minot, is prime sponsor of Senate Bill 2132, which would enable residents of FEMA temporary housing units to access that leftover money for loans to purchase their units. The Senate passed the bill 47-0 on Friday. It carries an emergency clause so it can be implemented immediately if passed by the House and signed by the governor.
Rep. Dan Ruby, R-Minot, introduced House Bill 1297, which would forgive the remainder of a Rebuilders loan if borrowers have been making timely payments for the first five years. The state general fund would reimburse the Bank of North Dakota for the amount of the forgiven loans. The bill is scheduled for a hearing today.
Ruby said his intent is to provide forgiveness of a third of the loan principal after five years. The original Rebuilders loan bill in the special session had included forgiveness of 50 percent of the loan, but legislators removed the provision in committee.
"I heard from many flood victims that they felt the state should do more for them since many believe the flood could have been prevented with proper management by the various governments. I lowered the forgiveness amount with the hope that it will get more support," Ruby said.
The governor has proposed extending the Rebuilders program into the next biennium without an additional appropriation. Jeff Zent, spokesman for the governor's office, said the governor would support more funding if money remaining in the account isn't adequate to cover eligible applications.
North Dakota's loan aid to flood survivors is similar to programs in other states.
Following 2008 flooding in Iowa, state lawmakers approved interest-free loans up to $50,000 plus $10,000 for energy-efficient appliances to help rebuild homes, make mortgage payments while awaiting a buyout or make downpayments to buy another home. The program forgives a portion of the loan for each year the homeowner lives in the house, with full forgiveness after 10 years. Cedar Rapids residents, whose community was hardest hit, received a little more than $20 million through the program.
Following flooding in northeastern Minnesota last year, the Minnesota Legislature approved $12.2 million to provide a no-interest loan of up to $30,000 for home repair. The loan is forgiven if the homeowner remains in the home for 10 years.
In North Dakota, the Legislature set aside $10 million in addition to the Rebuilders loans for discretionary use in helping with home rebuilding. The Souris Valley United Way received $3.5 million of that money to distribute through the Souris Valley Long-Term Recovery Committee as grants to Minot-area homeowners. The average grant was $4,600.
The programs to assist with rebuilding were part of $199 million in statewide flood aid approved by the Legislature during a November 2011 special session. The assistance included $29.5 million in FEMA matching, $30 million to help with damages not covered by FEMA and $23 million for county and township roads. Another $500,000 went to schools.
Of $50 million appropriated for distribution by the State Water Commission, Ward County, Minot and Burlington shared in $30 million for home acquisitions.
The state also picked up the initial cost of preliminary flood protection design for the Souris River valley. Dalrymple is suggesting the state provide more than $60 million in the coming biennium to continue the work of home acquisitions and project design. Minot city officials have stated that the amount will meet their needs for the next two years but additional funding will be required in the future if flood protection is to be built.
The governor's budget for 2013-15 also includes $3.5 million in one-time general fund spending to repair flood damage that occurred on the state fairgrounds during the 2011 flood. The work includes an asphalt overlay on the fairgrounds and replacing gravel on parking lots.
In the Minnesota disaster, the overall relief package approved last August totaled $167 million and included $159 million in flood aid. A large portion of Minnesota state aid went to repair roads and other infrastructure. The bill also included funding for debris removal, behavioral health, water systems, school enrollment impact and disaster relief facilities and flood hazard mitigation. It included a $15 million investment fund that provides grants to local governments to use in granting or loaning money to recovering businesses.
In 2009, the Iowa Legislature responded to the 2008 disaster with $165 million in assistance. Of the total, $118.5 million was available for competitive grants and $46.5 million was reserved for targeted rebuilding projects. In 2010, Iowa's governor signed an extension that made another $60.9 million available for disaster assistance and prevention.
Cedar Rapids benefited from almost $58 million of that money. Cedar Rapids is the seat of Linn County, which also received millions of dollars from the state for repair of its infrastructure and buildings, including $15 million for its human service center.
The Cedar Rapids Community School District identified nearly $24 million in flood-related expenses that qualified for FEMA reimbursement. The state picked up both the state and local share of the match for the FEMA money, which amounted to 10 percent of the total cost.
Last year, the Iowa Legislature created a new state flood protection fund. A portion of an incremental increase in the state sales tax will go into a fund, to which cities can apply if they have local matching funds. Cedar Rapids is interested in obtaining $200 million through that fund.
State disaster programs aren't universal, however. Following flooding in May 2010 that included Nashville, Tenn., the Tennessee Legislature paid its share of the FEMA match for public works repairs but provided no special appropriations to local governments, according to the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency.
In New Jersey, which took the brunt of Hurricane Sandy last year, legislators still are considering what type of assistance to offer disaster survivors and communities. Gov. Chris Christie promised to make rebuilding businesses his priority and announced $26 million in state funding to train workers in cleanup efforts, retain highly skilled and high-wage jobs and fill a skills gap created by workers who left the state due to Sandy.
Eighty percent of New Jersey homeowners were covered by insurance, according to FEMA.
New Jersey has ongoing programs that assist in the acquisition of lands in floodways of its rivers. Legislation in 2007 provided $12 million to initiate the program, and an additional $24 million was approved by voters in 2009.

The dramatic curve of the toy makes it super easy to find your g-spot, if you are a beginner on the quest. I use the larger round bulb. The way it is designed, with the curve and round balls, adds texture and reliabilty in keeping the pressure in the right spot once it is found. I primarily use it by rocking it to add pressure, which takes little to no effort, rather than by penetrating. You can use any kind of lube you want, since it is acrylic! It is light weight and easy to use for solo play. It is possible to pair it with a small clitoral toy, but a larger one may be more difficult to fit. I highly recommend for the beginner explorer into the g-spot galaxy!
The Galaxy G, while not my first g-spot oriented toy, was the first that showed me what a difference a dramatic curve makes. I understand why people could be intimidated by the shape and textured balls at first glance and wouldn't necessarily recommend it to a first-time g-spot explorer; opt instead for a Riley dildo or Silky G. The smooth feel of the acrylic is tantalizingly different than the common toy materials of silicone and hard plastic, plus fluids wash off super-easily with hot water and soap. The toy feels best when using a gentle rocking motion to hit the spot (either end of the toy works fine though I prefer the round one over the conical) and revving up the speed as you desire. Pairing the toy with a bullet vibe externally is delightful. This is not a toy for thrusting; firm g-spot stimulation is the Galaxy G's main agenda. If want more weight to your toy, the nJoy Pure Wand is the next step (or Key by Jopen Comet II if you want vibration too). But, under $30 for this much pleasure? Go for the Galaxy G if you're ready to ride that learning curve!
My guy and I like this toy so much we've named her Crystal. Never knew I could squirt but now that I can as soon as Crystal goes in the flood gates open. Thinking about getting a second one because I can't bear the thought of not having this toy around. The curve is an added bonus. Buy and you won't be disappointed.
The wand is very easy to maneuver and the large ball hit my G-spot without hesitation. The curve was a bit annoying at times because it curves back and points right at my clit. I was able to maneuver around it for the most part, though. I was also using a bullet vibe on my clit with this that was plastic. If noise is an issue for you, I�d recommend using something that is silicone coated so that if it comes in contact with the Galaxy G there is no clattering sounds. But anyways�back to the maneuvering�.I thrust and thrust and happily thrust with this dildo and it all felt amazing. In the end, the Galaxy G does not disappoint.
--from our reviewer, bzzingbee
You can insert either end, but I prefer the rounded end as the pointy end isn�t very comfortable for me. Both ends are very smooth and seemless, so you should have no trouble inserting them. There are two other smaller bulbs along the rest of the toy, but my G-spot is so low I don�t make it to the first one. There�s about 1.25? between each bulb. I find that the large bulb gives a fairly broad area to use to hit my G-spot with and there�s really little work I need to do. I can just insert it and push the other end away a bit to get a good pressure.

Re:16.1810, Review: Philosophy of Lang/Semantics: Haser
I am not the author of the work reviewed in the Linguist List posting
16.1810, but would nevertheless like to open a discussion of the
review and the work discussed. The following are my comments:
The review offered on LinguistList of Haser's Metaphor, Metonymy, and
Experientialist Philosophy does less than justice to this book. If it
is to be expected that among the purposes of such reviews are an
assessment of the contribution of a work to a particular field of
enquiry and an identification of its interest to a potential audience,
then the reviewer has misrepresented the work on both counts. Rather
than offering a critical evaluation of Haser's contribution to
cognitive semantics (as the subtitle indicates, her aim is to
"challenge" prevalent views), the reviewer appears to suggest that
Haser simply repeats and accepts current views on metaphor and
metonymy and their relationship with human understanding. This is
reflected in the fact that only on one occasion in the whole review
(in the Evaluation section) does the reviewer cite the author whose
work she is discussing, while she makes direct and indirect reference
at least fourteen times to authors such as Lakoff and Johnson, Radden
and Keview of Haser's alternative accounts of the distinction between
metaphor and metonymy or the reasons why we find thematically related
clusters of metaphorical expressions. Far from echoing the views of
Lakoff and Johnson (1980), as the reviewer implies, Haser offers an
explanation that has little if anything to do with conceptual metaphor
Given that the springboard for many of Haser's arguments is the close
attention she has paid to the founding texts of cognitive semantics
(particularly the contradictions and misrepresentations she uncovers
in these works), it is ironic that this author's own work should have
been read with so little of the close attention it undoubtedly
deserves. It is not necessary to agree or disagree with the author's
views on metaphor and metonymy to recognise that her work provides a
stimulating contribution to debate in this particular field of
inquiry. However, the reviewer in question appears to be unaware of
what this comprises (and indeed of developments in the field
generally) and hence fails to adequately inform potential readers of
what it is that the book offers and why linguists may or may not want
to read it.

Topic: Total n00b: association issues
Hi there,
I'm working on my first real RoR app. As I'm trying to model my db tables, I'm running into some problems. Here's the rundown:
There are two tables: items and categories.
From item.rb:
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :category
From category.rb:
class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :items
Now, I want to be sure I'm doing this right, so I run some tests in irb. Here's what happens during my session;
>> a_cat = Category.new
=> #<Category:0x23b4220 @attributes={"name"=>nil, "parent_id"=>nil}, @new_record=true>
>> a_cat.name = "Dairy"
=> "Dairy"

Oral Questions
Peter Stoffer Sackville—Eastern Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. We hear constantly from the Minister of State for Finance regarding the so-called $3,000 tax break for the average Canadian family.
I wonder if the Minister of State for Finance would like to table the document showing that amount.

Oral Questions
12:05 p.m.
Ted Menzies Minister of State (Finance)
Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for raising that. I would encourage him to go back and talk to his constituents. I think that many constituents across this country, and we are using the average family of four as an example, have actually got 3,000 more dollars. The best people to ask are the constituents who have that money in their pockets.
House of Commons
Routine Proceedings
12:05 p.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
I have the honour to lay upon the table the House of Commons "Report to Canadians" for 2011.
Government Response to Petitions
Routine Proceedings
12:05 p.m.
Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre
Tom Lukiwski Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8), I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's responses to 14 petitions.
Minister of State for Education Act
Routine Proceedings
December 9th, 2011 / 12:05 p.m.
Peter Stoffer Sackville—Eastern Shore, NS
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-382, An Act respecting the appointment of a Minister of State (Education).
Mr. Speaker, the reason I am introducing this legislation is that over the 14 years I have been here, many groups, including the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations, the Canadian Federation of Students, various college associations and university groups have come to Ottawa, but they have not had a specific minister with whom to discuss their educational concerns.
We have a Minister of State for Sport, a Minister of State for Transport, a Minister of State for Agriculture, and a Minister of State for Finance, but we do not have a minister of state for education. Even though education is a provincial jurisdiction, I believe a minister of state for education could summarize the concerns of all educators, colleges and universities in this country in order to facilitate best practices working with the provinces and territories to address the educational concerns for the 21st century.
I would hope that all members of Parliament would permit the speedy passage of this very important legislation. I thank the hon. member for Davenport for seconding the bill.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
The Environment
Routine Proceedings
12:05 p.m.
Linda Duncan Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, it is a great privilege to table a petition from the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady of Evron on behalf of the Canadian Religious Conference. This is a group of retired nuns who have served around the world and who are deeply concerned about the inaction of the government on climate change.
The petition supports the interfaith call for leadership and action on climate change. The signators call on the government to recognize that global warming is a reality, that climate change affects all Canadians and people around the world. We cannot wait for others. We should lead by example. Our emissions can be reduced.
The petitioners call upon Parliament to sign and implement a binding international agreement to commit to national carbon targets and a new national energy policy and to implement climate justice by contributions to UN funds for clean energy and mitigation for poor nations.
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Routine Proceedings
12:05 p.m.
Scott Simms Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor, NL
Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present this petition to the House. All the petitioners come from the wonderful city of Calgary, Alberta.
The petitioners say that they want to protect the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as the national public broadcaster as it plays an important role. In the current media environment, public broadcasting is an essential promoter in both French and English. Canadians benefit from a shared national consciousness and identity as seen through CBC/Radio-Canada. CBC/Radio-Canada plays a crucial role in the conversation in this country. Every dollar that Canadians invest in public broadcasting creates almost four dollars in economic value.
The petitioners call on the Government of Canada to maintain stable and predictable long-term core funding for the public broadcaster, CBC/Radio-Canada, in support of its unique and crucial role.
Child Pornography
Routine Proceedings
12:05 p.m.
David Anderson Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK
Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present today.
One has to do with child pornography. Citizens are concerned about the creation, use and circulation of child pornography. They are calling on the government to protect our children by taking all necessary steps to stop the Internet as a medium for the distribution of child victimization and pornography.
Multiple Sclerosis
Routine Proceedings
12:10 p.m.
David Anderson Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK
Mr. Speaker, the second petition is from folks who are very familiar with the issue of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency. They are concerned about that. They call on the House of Commons to urge the Minister of Health to consult experts who have been actively engaged in the testing and treating of CCSVI, to urge the Minister of Health to proceed with phase III clinical trials and to urge the Minister of Health to require follow-up of patients with Doppler ultrasound and clinical examinations.

Denis Blanchette Louis-Hébert, QC
Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for her speech.
There is one thing that she did not talk about much in her speech, which is the urgency of adopting this bill,which has resulted in yet another gag order. I would like to hear whether she thinks it is urgent that we pass this bill immediately. I will quote clause 5 of the bill, which states:
Unless the context indicates otherwise, in these rules, the population of a province is the estimate of its population as at July 1 of the year of the most recent decennial census.
We have just had a census, so the people who will set the riding boundaries will use the figures that will be published on June 1, 2012. In light of that, why is it so urgent that we pass this bill right now? We could have a few weeks of debate and it would not affect anything.

A close-to-the-vest secret at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium can now be revealed: The new $30.4 million exhibit opening in May has been dubbed the Heart of Africa.
Zoo officials decided that today — Valentine's Day — was the perfect time to unveil the name for the 43 acres that will be home to nearly 150 animals.
The walk-through exhibit will be on the northeastern side of the zoo, north of the polar bears, and will look like an African savanna. Raised platforms will allow visitors to hand-feed giraffes, and a watering hole will attract animals for close viewing.
Animals will include lions, zebras, monkeys, cheetahs, warthogs and guinea fowl.
The exhibit has been known as the African Safari or Safari Africa during the planning stages, but zoo spokeswoman Patty Peters said the name was changed to differentiate it from the Wilds.
That 9,000-acre animal preserve in Muskingum County, which the zoo manages, often is referred to as a safari park. Visitors see the animals by riding through the preserve on buses.

Summer/Fall 2000
Volume 5 Number 1
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
It has finally happened. The predicted shortage of pastors for so-called "mainline churches" has come to pass, at least in the Presbyterian Church (USA). More pastors are retiring than candidates are entering pastoral ministry.
Our Placement Office, for example, reports that only two years ago there were two ministers seeking a call for every one opening. By this past May, the numbers were reversed. Today there are two open churches for every one pastor or ministerial candidate seeking a call.
We have been lulled into complacency in spite of the demographic predications, at least in part, by the fact that our ten Presbyterian seminaries are filled to capacity with promising students. What we have not noticed is that just over 50% of these students are Presbyterians and only half of our combined graduates enter pastoral ministry.
Clearly both the church and its theological schools must respond to this crisis in ministerial leadership for the future. Congregations need to become intentional about enlisting the brightest and the best among their members for the churchs ministry. Seminaries must become more intentional about lifting up the pastorate as what Calvin called the first office of the church and about preparing students to take up that challenge.
We who are presently privileged to serve Jesus Christ at Princeton Theological Seminary are committed to reversing this current trend.
Faithfully yours,
Thomas W. Gillespie

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
DescriptionSagartia elegans is a very variable species (see additional information), all varieties have a base up to 30 mm and this is wider than the column and closely adherent. The column is moderately tall and flares out towards the disk. The upper part of the column is has numerous white suckers which appear as white spots and cinclides (small pores) just visible as dark spots. Acontia (white defence threads) are freely emitted from cinclides when the anemone disturbed. The tentacles are moderate to long and there are approximately 200 of them spanning about 4 cm. . This species is often found in large aggregations and may live with their bases inside a hole in the substratum into which they retract into when disturbed. The colour of the column is variable; red, orange, brown whitish or greenish.There are 5 different varieties of the species recognised on the basis of the colouration of the disc and tentacles.
- Var. miniata - the colour of the disc is variable, often variegated in - orange, red, brown, cream, grey etc. The disc is always marked with a dark pattern. The tentacles are similar to the disc, always banded and may have longitudinal lines.
- Var. rosea - the disc is variably coloured, plain or patterned as in miniata with the tentacles being pink, rose-red or magenta.
- Var. aurantiaca - the disc is greyish, sometimes patterned and tentacles are a dull orange.
- Var.venusta - the disc is a plain orange and the tentacles are white.

Top 5 Apps For Super Bowl XLVII
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Super Bowl XLVII is right around the corner, with much of America catching the game and watching the commercials. Who knows, some viewers may even be thinking about becoming sponsors .
Once you've gotten your friends and family over and you're all settled in for the big game, you'll want to keep the party going. The good news is that technology can add to your enjoyment of the game.
Here are five apps from Apple's(AAPL) iTunes Store that you can download to make your Super Bowl XLVII experience more enjoyable, even if you're not a fan of the Baltimore Ravens or the San Francisco 49ers (besides, who really likes the Ravens anyway?).
The author is a die-hard Patriots fan and is still depressed about the team's playoff defeat by the Ravens.
Domino's Pizza
What's the Super Bowl without food? I can think of no better accompaniment to a football game than pizza, buffalo wings and cheesy bread.
The free Domino's app for iPhone and iPad lets you order from almost any of the nearly 5,000 Domino's locations across the country and place your order right from your phone. Domino's app is also available on the Android Market, Google's(GOOG) competitor to iTunes.
You can build your own pizza, enter coupons, payment information, and select whether the order is for pick-up or delivery, all without having to call the local Domino's. After ordering your food, the app has a Tracker feature which lets you see when your food's being made and, finally, when it's out for delivery.
Perhaps it's no coincidence that since the app was launched in the summer of 2011, shares of Domino's have zoomed higher. Shares are up 37.49% over the past six months.
Super Bowl Winners
Before the game starts and you decide on who you want to win, you'll want to impress your friends with knowledge of previous Super Bowl winners. The Super Bowl Winners app by LightAgeArt gives you access to all the winners of the Super Bowl since the game first started in 1967.
The free app will update every year as new winners are crowned, and also includes a brief history of the Super Bowl.
The paid version of the app provides historical data not just for the Super Bowl, but the NFL Championship games, World Series, Stanley Cup Finals, NBA Finals and MLS, MISL, NPSL, ASL, ASLII and NAFL Soccer championships.
It also provides information about stadia for the different sports.
Super Bowl Quiz
After you've impressed your friends with a flurry of Super Bowl stats, test their knowledge with this Super Bowl Quiz app from Robert Kuhlig.
You can answer all the questions from 1 to 15, or you can skip around and answer as many or as few questions as you like. It's really up to you.

Conservation Status
Overhunting is responsible for low population numbers of fin whales currently. With the invention and use of modern whaling technology, fin whale populations were depleted due to hunting. In addition, fin whales are injured or killed in vessel collisions. This is especially true in the Mediterranean Sea where collisions are a significant source of fin whale mortality. Between 2000 and 2004, 5 fatal collisions with vessels were recorded off the east coast of the United States. Fishing gear also kills fin whales; entanglement results in at least one death per year. Fishing accidents have killed 4 fin whales in the years 2000 to 2004. Finally, a study done on whale calls shows that human sound can prevent mating. Since the whales use low frequency sounds to call to females, human interruption through sound waves, such as military sonar and seismic surveys can disrupt the signal sent to the females. This potentially can result in mates not meeting and a reduction in birth rates in populations.
In order to help populations of fin whales recover worldwide, the International Whaling Commission has set a zero limit for fin whale catches in the North Pacific and southern hemisphere. The catch limit was passed in 1976 and continues be law today. Hunting stopped in the North Atlantic in 1990. There are some exceptions to the commission's limitation, a limited number of whales are allowed to be caught and killed by aboriginal natives in Greenland. Commercial catches resumed in Iceland in 2006 and a Japanese fleet began catching fin whales for "scientific" purposes in 2005.

Ok, to start off. My favorite oolong is called Dong Ding (or Tung Ting) oolong, and comes from the Tung Ting mountains in Taiwan. This tea is excellent! it is grown at around 600 meters altitude, which makes it nice and green, yet full flavored and sweet. I usually buy this tea from a local shop near my house, but they are out at the moment. As a result i was browsing online and found this tea called Li Sun Tian Tsz, this stuff sounds absolutely incredible. It is grown at an altitude of 2400 meters! and as conventional oolong wisdom goes, the higher the altitude of the oolong the better the flavor
here is a link for you to see for yourself!
As you can see this tea is quite expensive, but if anyone has any experience with this tea, or this teashop SHING HWA i would be interested to know, as they have some wonderful looking Tung Ting oolongs at a good price (of course shipping is high due to it being shipped directly from taiwan. But if i were to buy this in bulk it could be worth it.)
here is some good straightforward (though brief) info about oolongs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oolong

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: The Winning Formula
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What makes for a winning stock in today's market? Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Tuesday that he's figured out the winning formula.
While the professional money managers are fretting over when the Federal Reserve will stop its bond buying and thus "take away the punch bowl" just as the market's rally is gaining steam, the Fed's "special sauce" is making bonds, bank CDs and Treasuries unpalatable, Cramer said. Thus, stocks with big yields including Clorox
Other household names are also part of the formula, said Cramer, with Procter & Gamble
Even the HMOs are joining the party, said Cramer, with Humana
Which stocks were not invited to the party? Cramer said materials companies in copper, coal and oil are not part of the mix, nor are tech stocks that rely on Europe and a return of the PC to prosper. Even Apple
In a nutshell, Cramer said if a company's got growth, a great yield or is mostly domestic, the Fed has sent it an invitation to the market's rally.
Executive Decision: David Steiner
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer once again spoke with David Steiner, president and CEO of Waste Management
Steiner explained that the boom in the housing market will become a boon for Waste Management because more home construction generates more waste and eventually those new homes become residential customers. That, in turn, drives commercial development further down the line, which also generates more customers for Waste Management. He said cleanup from Hurricane Sandy along the east coast will add to the bottom line.
When asked about the possibility of converting his company into a REIT, Steiner said his company is always looking for ways to make more money for its shareholders. He said while Waste Management will not be leading in this area, it continues to look at whether REITs or MLPs offer shareholders more advantages.

A rotten bacon behemoth: If a Chinese company's bid to acquire Smithfield goes through, consumers and farmers will suffer.
American consumers may not even notice the change if a newly proposed takeover by China's largest meat processor of our nation's leading pork company goes through. But the $4.7 billion transaction would certainly show up on our plates: in the form of farmer exploitation, more factory farms, and a more complicated supply chain that increases …

These blocks are as expected quality wise. They are easy to connect and fairly easy to take apart, as well. The only thing to note is that the activity book is for grades 3-6 which isn't what I expected since the age on the blocks ranges from 6-11. There are other activity books and printables available, though.

Carsten Nicolai works with oppositional forces. Culling a distinctive vision from inspirations both sonic and scientific, his conceptual, large-scale works provide dramatic visualizations of frequencies, ultimately allowing the work to create a voice for itself. "I want the visuals to perform," he explains.
The installation artist often produces music under the name Alva Noto, and runs the label Raster-Norton with his friend Olaf Bender. The team's projects experiment with the fusion of sound, art and design. Nicolai's work embraces the tension inherent in accidents. In our video profile of the Creator (above), he explains that glitches often corrupt his data in fresh and exciting ways. "Defective elements are used as a basis for music," Nicolai says. "You have no control of what's happening. There is something going wrong, obviously, but it's really exciting." And in his explorations of sounds and visuals, Nicolai works to break down some unfair assumptions his audience might have. "The idea of electronic music being cold and lacking emotion has to do with people's habits when it comes to music." Nicolai is aware that some of his projects have disproven that unfair conception–namely, his collaboration with Ryuichi Sakamoto, in which "strong emotional situations were created." Carsten Nicolai's pionier I exhibition is coming to The Pace Gallery in New York City next Friday, September 23. The installation features a white silk parachute's expansion and contraction. Nicolai is fascinated by contradictions. "We humans try more and more to enable machines to think, but at the same time, we try to become more and more mechanic. It's fantastic in a way, that we permanently expose ourselves to that polarity and conflict."

The Belgian skater seems to have withdrawn because Berntsson skated first in the 2nd group.
The video quality isn't great, so I think Kristoffer had a clean 3A, a hand down on his 3F+2T and a clean 3Lo. His score was 63.80 (TES = 33.13, PCS = 30.67). He's currently in first place. His jumps were better here than at SC, but his PCS dropped by 1.5 points.
P.S. It's cute that they use footage from a figure skating-centric episode of Peanuts during the ice resurfacing.

I hate to say it, because the teas are expensive, but the Darjeelings from Mariage are on a level above the Upton and Thunderbolt. Mariage charges
a hefty premium on their teas. If I had to rank them,
1 Namring (tied for 1st)
1 Namring Upper (tied for 1st)
3 Arya
4 Risheehat
I also purchased 2010 FF Margaret's Hope, 2010 FF Castleton, and 2010 FF Moodakotee. Even at a year old, they were above the Upton and Thunderbolt in aroma and taste. This is in no way a definitive ranking. They are the opinions of my wife and I.
yshuto wrote:The Namring I had is DJ1 while the invoice number of the Namring Upper is unclear. There is a clear price and ranking difference on the Namring DJ1 SFTGFOP1 and Namring DJ2 FTGFOP1. The Namring Upper, by the way is SFTGFOP1. Special Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe 1 if I remember correctly.
Thunderbolt and Mariage offer different teas from different estates and as you stated, different estates, different invoices will vary in taste even if it is the same FF Darjeeling. So I "prefer" the taste of the Namring and Namring Upper out of the FF Darjeelings I have had so far. I will try the Mariage FF Castleton, Mariage FF Ambootia, and Mariage FF Moodakotee sometime in the near future. Is there a best tea out of the group? The opinions would most likely differ from person to person
As for the taste of the tea changing due to time, it does happen. The 2010 FF I purchased way back in June 2010 did taste differently from the 2010 FF I purchased in May 2011. The taste may differ yet I would not say it has degraded in any way. On my opinion based on taste, and aroma, I would still rank the Mariage 2010 FF above the Thunderbolt teas.
Thanks for the reply and I enjoy this type of discussion. Have a great day!

On November 12, President Obama began a 10-day trip to Asia, which includes visits to Japan, Singapore, China and South Korea. In Tokyo, President Obama said, "We have to understand that the future of the United States and Asia is inextricably linked. The issues that matter most to our people...are all issues that have to be part of a joint agenda."What is the most pressing issue the United States and Asia must face together?

Joshua in California writes:
Addressing climate change is the most pressing issue Asia and the United States can confront together.
With countries in Asia like China linking their efforts to address climate change inextricably to their efforts to lift millions out of poverty each year, the right solutions to the climate crisis could mean a more secure and more just world for this generation and those to come.
A global transition to a clean-energy economy is the perfect vehicle with which to deepen ties across the Pacific.
Tommaso in Washington, DC writes:
Will China and the U.S. commit to stabilizing carbon dioxide emissions in the next 5-10 years as demanded by physics (not politics)?
If they won't, then the most important issues they must face together are the imminent disappearance of coastal cities, the collapse of fisheries, severe fresh-water scarcity, and the swelling tide climate refugees.

Without a doubt, it's climate change. Much of the rest of the world has spend the past few years blaming the failures to act on U.S. and Chinese intransigence, and excusing their own inaction by saying it's all meaningless if the U.S. and China don't do their parts.
This opens a tremendous opportunity for the U.S. and China to forge a pact right now to lead the world to a clean energy future. What a legacy that would be! Hopefully this partnership can begin this week during President Obama's trip, and become public at Copenhagen next month.

Human rights. Let's talkabout it in the context of priorities...
Where is enshrined the premis that future generations may live free from ethnic cleansing, conflict, dysfunctional authoritarian regimes that bankrupt sociciety's ability to focus on a framework for the survival of the species beyond climate change, nuclear proliferation and the threat of terrorism?
More importantly, where is the political will to create a living memorial to sanity?
The test here is whether mankind decides to make a nice idea manifest in actuality. It's not..."we can't do this alone."....so much as... "unless we all do this together, it won't get done."
(my way of respectfully suggesting the U.S. tweek its public diplomacy message a bit to create firmer realizations in the minds of the irreconcilable that the "whack-a-mole" approach to the war on terror has achieved a internationaly mandated policy shift to that of a "whack a weed" aproach....and have resourced the lawn mowers to be put to good use.)
The right to have something to eat....how many millions of kids are starving to death acording to the UN? 18 million or so?
Where is the love?
In thirty years, the world will have to produce 50% more food on the planet just to maintain the current non-acceptable levels of nutrition among populations.
A third of the planet is now at risk.
So folks might want to list survival as fundemental human right, and embrace the notion.
Mke in California writes:
Global warming is the most pressing issue facing the entire world. Leading the world's response to global warming should be the number one priority of the U.S. and Asia, specifically China. Together the US and China are responsible for some 40% of the world's carbon emissions. Together the U.S. and China can kickstart a global energy revolution, set an example of aggressively reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and lead the world to an ambitious and binding climate treaty in Copenhagen.
Adam in U.S. writes:
There is no question: it is uniting to find paths toward a clean energy future to enable prosperity for each of our nations while turning the tide on Global Warming's rising seas which threatens all of us with catastrophic consequences if we do not dramatically reduce our fossil fuel usage.
We can improve our economies, our health, and our future prospects via energy efficiency, clean energy, and forestration/forest protection. It is well past time to be doing this with serious intent -- as individual nations and as a global community.
Paulina in Vermont writes:
The most pressing issue is:
Fully understanding the role of (1) creating markets for energy efficiency and other sustainable technology, including renewable energy; (2) urgently phasing out coal; and (3) not pursuing unconventional fossil fuels, in the transition to a more secure global climate and economy, and to a healthier and more just future.
All policy decisions, at pretty much every level, need to be accountable to this understanding.

Laurie B. in Washington, DC writes:
Since I started college, the one topic I hear about most is the issue of globalization. There is the dicussion about how every country is now tied together is some way, and any action taken by one country has a strong possiblity of affecting another country. When the financial crisis hit America, it was clear to see how interconnected we all were. Our financial system was in crisis and the rest of the world soon followed. We all had to work together to figure out a way to keep our economies from collapsing.
From all of the recent events, starting with the financial crisis, to the G20 summits, to the possibilities of discussions at Copenhagen next month, there can be no doubt of the necessity for America to work with Asia; to put aside our suspicions of one another, to put aside our competitive attitudes, and find a way to work along side one another.
The number one issue for America and Asia is to further establish the precedent, we can come together and create solutions that will have a real impact in our world. While we may compete in a global economy, when it comes to global issues such as: climate change, world hunger, defending human rights,etc., we must find a way to make a difference together.

I can not disagree with the many posts that state that we must face, and deal with, fossil fuel emissions and the threat of global warming. It is a shame that we did not do this in the 1970's when it was VERY evident, even then, where it would take us. Have we changed enough as a nation, as a world, to now finally do something? Back in the '70's President Carter was made fun of for wearing his sweater on national television, and for asking us, as a nation, to make sacrifices. Are we finally ready to do this?! All talk and no action/sacrifice will accomplish nothing. If we are asking it of the rest of the world we better be willing to lead the way. To bad we didn't listen in the '70's. I would also like to say that I think Eric in NM has a very good point. Human rights should also be a number one priority. Let's hope we can make progress in both areas of concern.

Clayton F. in Washington, DC writes:
Reading though the responses that have been provided I detect a strong level of discontent for the current actions being taken by the governments of China and the United States in regards to environmental affairs. I agree that maintaining the environment so that future generations can still inhabit the planet is necessary, however believing this is the most important issue that will be dealt with by the two societies is shortsighted. It easily can be seen that without adequate funding neither government would be able to organize any actions outside of simple survival.
It is my belief that the most important issue to be addressed is the maintenance of economic stability, if these nations continue to be run without sound economic principles based on logical foresight, all further causes will suffer. The idea of globalism was also thrown into this equation, namely that markets are now open to other buyers and sellers who never before had the ability to trade. These introductions were made possible through technological advancements that seem to make the world a smaller place. The operation of economic activity between these nations is only possible when there is confidence between the trading entities. The security of their trading partners becomes their own security, as goods transit between monetary forms.
The recent economical failures have shown that such a failure can have consequences outside of the area of direct effect. Specifically, if a nation begins to fail in economic trade, it is far more likely they will be unwilling to pay for environmentally friendly, but expensive actions. Instead a sound long term economic policy would forge the way to protect the economics of both sectors, and provide stabilization to a market currently on shaky ground.
When the markets and businesses are successful, it leads to more money becoming available for other projects, such as cleaning up the environment and limiting the need for foreign oil. It would appear that the backbone of international relations is economic policy, job development and market dynamics; it would then appear that these are the only issues that should be of concern between the two. All other discussions allow only for outlines to be drawn and ideas to be exchanged, hard and fast economically sound ideals lead to the betterment of world trade, which would better the lives of all citizens.

Joanna in Virginia writes:
Asian countries continue to use and need more and more of the resources that the United States once dominated. Thus, I believe that the most pressing issue the United States and Asia must face together is the sharing of these world resources in a way that shows awareness for the effects of their consumption on other nations. It would be easy for the United States and Asian nations to compete mercilessly for these resources, neglecting the fates of less powerful nations. However, both must work together to ensure that the other remains conscious of their actions.
This will be difficult for both. It will be difficult for the United States because, for the first time, it is being expected to share the resources of which it was once the biggest consumer. It will be difficult for Asian countries because there will be an urge play "catch-up" as they continue to develop.
The bottom line is that both will need to compromise. Both will need to give a little as they take more and more.

Lauren in Indiana writes:
Without a doubt, global climate change is the most pressing issue that the U.S. and Asia must face together. The U.S. and China, in particular, as two of the world's largest producers and carbon emitters, are in a unique position to influence and repair the broken systems that contribute to environmental woes. Going forward, they must set a good example for the rest of the world -- particularly for developing nations, who have not yet made some of the same mistakes that industrialized nations have, in how they conduct business.
Dramatic and cooperative steps need to be taken by both countries if we have any hope of reducing carbon emissions. The U.S. cannot expect others to make sweeping changes in environmental policy if it is not willing to do so. It is going to take a mutual effort -- shared for the most part between the largest world economies -- before we see any movement in the right direction.
Donald in Virginia writes:
It certainly is NOT climate change as the scientist just reported they over reacted. Hasn't anyone figured out by now people do NOT control the weather, God does! The only reason why Climate Change and Global Warming came about so certain investors who have a financial interest in companies that go green make money. It was all about business as usual NOT about saving mother earth as everyone thought.
The biggest challenge we all face is when you have China growing and growing, our Nation should ensure they pay them back sooner than later. They have over a billion people, the energy consumption alone the Chinese use today will dictate the outcome of what happens in the future when it comes to war in the Middle East. The biggest concern should be for our Nation to find ways to deal with the uprising concerns of big China. The year 2012 keeps coming up, many predictions already made, "Year of the Dragon" prophecies mentioned if the waters dry up in Iraq, the prediction is the Chinese will invade. After hearing what Ron mentioned about the corruption in Afghanistan with the Chinese that will be small potatoes in comparison.
Which means the United States needs to find its backbone, place trade taxes on goods coming in from China and above all, pay them back the trillions of dollars we owe that country. World Wars with Japan and Germany was fought over trade wars, so don't think for one second that China wouldn't fight for energy or to have the power and gain our lands. There was an old joke relating to China, it went like this, "If China could build a bridge between USA and China and moved it's people across with weapons, we in the United States would have a very bad day" think about it.
Should we respect the Chinese? We should have equal respect for all Nations on earth. When I heard that President Barack Obama said, "China is our closet Ally"? Where were the Chinese in World War one, two, Vietnam? Or even in Afghanistan or Iraq? The only reason President Barack Obama mentioned it was because he continues to BOW and Borrow from them? Isn't time we stop bowing to Nations and stand on our own two feet God gave us? I admire President Barack Obama's intensions but disagree that we should continue borrowing, when we should be paying back and if the word "Change doesn't happen as he used so many times during his campaign, start looking for the stakes to get higher and eventually like gambling the debt will have to paid in full. What happens if someone goes to Nevada plays in the casino and loses?
This is the age of computers, technology and internet, instead of throwing money and power to countries, start using what President Barack Obama mentioned, video teleconferencing is still far cheaper then having political parties in Europe and spending money faster than this country can make it. If your about saving money, prove it, because you can't tax your way out of a defecit.
Goodluck and Godspeed everyone!

OK, I have. When the next ice age comes, and the land bridge reappears where Bering strait is today, then I can be worried...(chuckle).
2012 is a convienient way to worry yourself to death on a personal level, taking the joy out of life as it were...the more the world worries about it, the more it will potentially become a self-fullfilling phrophesy.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (11 votes).
In short: Well I found a red envelope so must be happy, wish it had been gold though! I have to admit that I found it quite a tought course. Date of review: January 3, 2013
In full: ran the short 7.8k race this year ,it was quite flat and fast.if you want a post christmas run ,this is good value & your not cramed in at the start like sardines.i enjoyed this race and will be back in 2013Date of review: December 30, 2012
In short: A tough course, 1 pure long nasty hill saps you, great views, good valueIn full: Five of our group got to this event. We registered on the day and found it great value for money. Reasonable facilities at the HQ but parking is an issue. Good to have chip timing.There is a short walk to the start (hope the householders weren't too upset with near 200 runners right outside their house. Started right on time. This route is all on road but goes mainly on less used country roads soon enough. Marshals were a few individuals in high viz and mainly a club member on a cycle leap-frogging ahead to point us in the right direction. He was encouraging enough. There is a turn off at the 1st water station (3.5 mile I think) where those doing the shorter distance leave the main group.This is where the main long nasty hill is and you have to dig deep. There is the reward of some beautifull views. Have to say that the car drivers were very patient and everybody I passed (walkers / riders) were very pleasant.There are some welcome downhills where you can get your breath back, before the inevitable up hills again.Owing to the few numbers running the longer distance spacing was such that it felt very much a solo event - thus it demands focus.The 2nd water station is well placed. I have to say (as this was my 1st attempt), not knowing the route, precise distance or location of the finish line, put me in a maximum effort mindset.It's a strange finish location all the same! And its a fair walk back to where the cars are parked. If it had been raining I would have been non too pleased having to walk back soaked. It was a shame also that there were inadequate numbers of medals for finishers, and to add insult to injury, the medals weren't all the same (some clearly had previous event detail thereon, simply with a sticker for this year stuck over it).The whole thing felt as though it was a club members 'personal' run route, but perhaps in time, with more planning, a better start / finish location, it will grow into a great event.On a more positive note, I have praise for the volunteers, marshals and helpers. Chip timing is a must at events, so well done there. A special thank you to the lady that helped one of our runners who sustained an injury. This lady gave our mate a lift to the finish. Also, a marshal loaned her bike so that we could back-track to find our friend. Our mate could quite easily have been left in the field but she wasn't. Thanks.Despite looking VERY hard I didn't find any special envelope prizes :-( They must have been well hidden or all found by those ahead OR STILL THERE! ;-)Date of review: December 30, 2012
In short: Good way to finish the end of the year!In full: This race was well organised, marked and there was plenty of water stations. I will definitely return next year and hopefully improve my time too!Date of review: December 30, 2012

David Akers (1975/88): This issue is by far the most common of the series in Mint State. This is a "hoard" issue with several small to medium sized hoards of Uncirculated coins dispersed in the 1970's and 1980's. Locating a specimen in MS-63 or lower grade is no problem at all but in MS-64 and especially MS-65, this issue is much more difficult to find than most people realize. True gems are genuinely rare and superb (better than MS-65) quality examples are essentially unobtainable.
The 1909-D is usually well struck (as are most Denver Mint gold coins) and they are seen both satiny (uncommon) and with a "soft" frosty finish. The lustre for this issue is good to very good, much better than for the 1908-D. Color is wide ranging from coppery gold to greenish gold to bright yellow.
