Urquhart, Jane
Jane Urquhart 1949–
(Born Jane Carter) Canadian novelist, poet, and short story writer.
The following entry provides an overview of Urquhart's life and career through 1995.
Considered one of Canada's most promising writers, Urquhart is known for works that reflect her fascination with literary Romanticism and the Victorian Era. Often emphasizing the theme of estrangement, her writing is noted for its focus on place and landscape, memory and history, and the creative process. Urquhart's novels, for which she is best known, frequently employ parallel story lines and often incorporate historical figures and events.
Biographical Information
Born in northern Ontario, Urquhart was raised in the small mining settlement of Little Long Lac until she was five or six years old, at which time she moved with her family to Toronto. As a child, she was a voracious reader, and she has cited Emily and Charlotte Brontë, Robert Louis Stevenson, L. M. Montgomery, Frances Hodgson Burnett, and Charles Dickens as among her favorite authors. Attending junior college in Vancouver in the late 1960s, Urquhart eventually returned to Ontario where she received a B. A. in English in 1971 from the University of Guelph. At Guelph she also met and married artist Paul Keele. Following the death of Keele in a car accident, Urquhart resumed her academic career, earned a B. A. in art history, and, in the mid-1970s, married artist Tony Urquhart. In addition to the demands posed by her role as a mother, Urquhart began to pursue a writing career in 1977, initially working as a poet and then turning to fiction.
Major Works
Urquhart's debut novel, The Whirlpool (1986), is set near Niagara Falls in late nineteenth-century Canada. Considered Gothic in its tone and outlook, the novel opens and closes with descriptive pieces detailing the death of English poet Robert Browning. The remainder of the novel, drawn in part from Urquhart's second husband's family history, concerns a widowed undertaker, who fishes victims and debris out of the whirlpool under the falls, and her young "mute" son. A lovesick poet and the object of his desire—a woman filled with Romantic notions of the natural world and an ardent admirer of Browning's verse—are also central to the plot. Emphasizing the fluidity of language and desire, The Whirlpool employs a circular structure and story line, which are reinforced by the novel's central image of the whirlpool. Urquhart's next novel, Changing Heaven (1990), similarly features a renowned literary figure as a character. Juxtaposing the tumultuous love affair between a nineteenth-century balloonist and her manager with that of a twentieth-century Canadian scholar named Ann and an art historian, the multilayered Changing Heaven recounts scenes from Ann's life and includes passages in which the ghost of Emily Brontë discusses her Gothic romance Wuthering Heights (1847) and the nature of love. In her explication and retelling of Wuthering Heights, Urquhart continues Brontë's examination of passion and betrayal, obsession, nature, and the creative process. In Away (1993) Urquhart explores Canadian history and her own Irish heritage. Spanning four generations of women and infused with Celtic myth and folklore, the novel is a family saga relating the experiences of an Irish woman and her descendants in both Ireland and Canada. Thematically, Away presents issues related to immigration, time, "otherness" and identity, and the oral tradition.
Urquhart's verse collections, False Shuffles (1982), I Am Walking in the Garden of His Imaginary Palace (1982), and The Little Flowers of Madame de Montespan (1983), similarly reveal a focus on the past and frequently incorporate references to historical figures and other literary texts. In The Little Flowers of Madame de Montespan, for example, Urquhart examines issues related to love, power, and memory, often speaking in the voice of Madame de Montespan, a mistress of King Louis XIV of France and a prominent figure at the court of Versailles. Focusing on problems of language, meaning, and communication, Urquhart argues in False Shuffles that there is a relationship between poets and magicians, making numerous allusions to a twentieth-century book on the art of prestidigitation. False Shuffles also shares similarities with Urquhart's novels: the volume contains poems that are set in Niagara Falls, some in which an undertaker's wife speaks, and a number of pieces featuring a young woman who relates the stories of her female relatives and ancestors. The short story collection Storm Glass (1987) likewise has elements in common with Urquhart's other writings. Noted for its surrealist aspects and focus on estrangement, pain, death, and foreign settings, the collection includes "The Death of Robert Browning," which appeared as the prologue and epilogue to The Whirlpool, and the critically acclaimed title piece. A tale of domestic and sexual conflict, "Storm Glass" revolves around a married couple's debate concerning the correct name for shards of glass that have been made smooth by their exposure to the elements. The pieces in Storm Glass have been praised by Patricia Bradbury as "poetry made long, not fiction rendered short."
Critical Reception
Best known for her fiction, Urquhart is often noted for her complex narrative structures, her emphasis on Gothic themes and the supernatural, and her meticulous attention to time and place. At times faulting Urquhart's use of parallel and circular story lines in her novels, reviewers have occasionally argued that Urquhart often values plot and setting over characterization. She has also been castigated by some critics for her inclusion of Browning and Brontë in The Whirlpool and Changing Heaven; while applauding her use of these writers as characters, some commentators argued that Urquhart's combination of fact, folklore, and literary analysis was heavy-handed. Nevertheless, Urquhart is highly regarded in her homeland and abroad. She has been the recipient of several awards, including France's Prix pour le meilleur livre étranger for The Whirlpool as well as Ontario's Trillium Award.

[In the following positive review, Wayne briefly discusses stylistic and thematic aspects of False Shuffles.]
Once in a very long while a book of poetry appears that is so strong and original it signals the discovery of a remarkable new talent.
Jane Urquhart's second book of poetry, False Shuffles, is one of these occasions. Filled with the lives of small-town eccentrics, Niagara Falls daredevils, undertakers' brides, and beer-hall waitresses, the book is both expertly crafted and emotionally compelling.

[In the following mixed review, Tregebov asserts that The Little Flowers of Madame de Montespan "is a well-written little book … that reveals a poet who could do more if she wanted to."]
Madame de Montespan's 10-year career as mistress of Louis XIV (he built the Petite Trianon at Versailles for her) ended in scandal. She was implicated in the poisoning scare that raged through the court in the late 1670s. Madame had administered love potions to Louis, but greater mischief was not proved conclusively: Louis himself destroyed the...

[In the following excerpt, Lemire-Tostevin offers a thematic discussion of The Little Flowers of Madame de Montespan.]
Jane Urquhart has chosen a museum as the setting for her third book. The poems of The Little Flowers of Madame de Montespan hover in and out of the rooms and gardens of Versailles in the persona of Montespan who was for a while a favourite mistress of Louis XIV. They pause over catalogued items and saved artifacts like "loose fragments drawn into new configurations." They shift behind windows and over brocade coverings of baroque beds; they witness and...

[In the following excerpt, Sowton discusses intertextual aspects and influences of False Shuffles.]
One very fine effect of the intertextualities at play in False Shuffles (among cards/book of tricks/Urquhart's poems) is the witty problematization of a three-generation history: grandmother, mother, narrating daughter. The interleaved lexicon—of false shuffle: transparent swizzle stick: magician: sleight: tricks—genially but persistently interrogates our shaky everyday equilibriums between narration and what is narrated, between verbal signs and their purported herstorical...

[In the following review, Ledger offers a highly negative assessment of The Whirlpool.]
[The Whirlpool] is a dissertation masquerading as a novel and as deceptions go, it's not terribly successful. Pity the poor reader who, lured by the Signature Series' romance-style covers, opens the book and looks for a story. 'Twould be in vain: there's no plot, little characterization, next to no dialogue, and certainly no drama.
Urquhart is after a berth in the CanLit pantheon. The three major characters in her novel live beside the whirlpool in...

[In the positive review below, Wigston relates the story line of The Whirlpool, noting Urquhart's focus on history and eccentric characters.]
The Whirlpool is a jewel of a book: its finely polished facets are full of light, yet suggest numerous depths. The depths are real, for the story takes place in late nineteenth-century Niagara Falls, and much of the action focuses on the mystery of the huge cataract and its adjacent whirlpool. But the depths here equally serve to illuminate the collective identity of a people.

[In the following, Posesorki provides a mixed assessment of The Whirlpool.]
The person and poetics of Robert Browning cast a giant shadow over Jane Urquhart's ambitious first novel The Whirlpool. In her prologue Urquhart presents the elderly Browning in Venice, overwhelmed by his recollections of the poet Shelley and by portents of his death. This romantically morbid vignette introduces the major leitmotivs of her novel: dreams, obsessions, death, and their relationship to the production of art.
Browning wrote, "Throughout life,...

[French is a Canadian editor and critic. In the favorable review below, he surveys several of the stories collected in Storm Glass.]
Glib generalizations won't do in any discussion of Jane Urquhart's fiction. Just when she seems to be establishing a pattern in this first collection of 17 short stories [entitled Storm Glass], she darts off in another direction and ambushes our expectations.
But it can be said, without fear of contradiction, that she has impressive talent. There's nothing simple and obvious here; concentric circles of meaning ripple out...

In 1986, Jane Urquhart published her first novel, The Whirlpool, to almost universal critical acclaim. When it met with a negative response, it tended to offend or bemuse because of its imaginative content. In The Whirlpool, Urquhart treated reality with contempt.

"It was an attraction to the mysterious 'other'," says poet and novelist Jane Urquhart, "that started me writing short fiction … that wild desire to explain, if only to myself, a landscape, an era, a human being, an event, about which I had little knowledge and to which I had but limited access….

[In the following excerpt, Ashenburg discusses the prominent role of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights (1847) in Changing Heaven.]
The desire to read or reread the hero's work is a strange but real measure of success in this genre. Judged by this yardstick (as well as by others), Jane Urquhart's second novel, Changing Heaven, succeeds superbly. Urquhart, who bracketed her first novel, The Whirlpool, with scenes of Robert Browning's dying in Venice, has created a tartly level-headed ghost of Emily Brontë for the presiding genius of her new book.

Jane Urquhart's new book, The Whirlpool, is an almost perfect example of the first novel in the common, and pejorative, sense of the term. Of course, there are as many types of first novels as there are types of novels, and the type the Canadian poet Jane Urquhart has aspired to is one of...

Like her first novel, The Whirlpool, Jane Urquhart's latest work of fiction plunges us into a world of passions and marvels and intricate obsessions.

The events of Jane Urquhart's first novel [The Whirlpool] take place on various borders; not merely the geographical and geological border between the United States and Canada (on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls), but also on borders between married couples, between those with language and those without, even between the living and the dead.

Set in the (Canadian) Niagara of the 1880s, Jane Urquhart's first novel portrays characters who seek life rather than live it. Patrick, the poet, observes landscape—and the woman "mysteriously" inhabiting it—as perfect, ethereal architecture, not to be sullied by the mundane (i. e., flesh-and-blood vulnerability). Fleda, the dreamer, reads and breathes Browning's poetics, soon Patrick's as well, with a tenderness—for his reality—that he cannot countenance: "Patrick began...

[In the following excerpt, Macfarlane praises Urquhart's "tight interlacing of metaphor, structure and theme" in Changing Heaven.]
Changing Heaven is a novel apparently fragmented into individual stories telling of separate characters in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries…. [T]hese stories are linked through theme and recurrent images, but the characters, too, begin to merge into each other's stories. Arthur and Ann, two twentieth-century academics, have at first separate chapters, but their stories converge as they become enmeshed in an increasingly stormy affair....

[In the following review, Wigston offers a favorable assessment of Away.]
In Jane Urquhart's fictional renderings of the Canadian past, history is transformed into a series of fluid images. The title of her new novel, Away, reverberates with meaning. First, it indicates the mysterious condition suffered by Irish peasant women who have encountered a daemon lover from the "other world," the enchanted realm that now and then collides with this one. Second, it refers to the forced migration of the Irish to Canada, forced when the deadly scythe of the potato famine cut them down...

For anyone who believes that Canadians, or at least Canadians of European descent, are soulless, sexless creatures who inhabit not so much a landscape as a bottom line, Jane Urquhart should be required reading. Like Michael Ondaatje in Toronto and Jack Hodgins on Vancouver Island, Urquhart dreams our history for us, peopling the countryside around Lake Ontario with revenants born...

The relationship between art, the artist, and the appreciation of art has long intrigued writers of fiction.

Jane Urquhart's Away is a complex layering of ideas about emotions and emotions about ideas. If that sounds too intellectual, Away is also one of those novels that moves in and takes over your life. Urquhart writes on a very large canvas, spanning more than a century and two continents. The book begins in pre-famine Northern Ireland, when beautiful young Mary pulls a drowning man from a sea awash with cabbages, silver teapots, and casks of whisky. The man dies in Mary's arms.

Jane Urquhart is an Irish Canadian who writes with the lilt of the Old Sod. Her third novel, Away, brings alive an old superstition linked to today's consciousness.
Away is the story of four generations of women, three of whom, in the author's words, are women of extremes. They either stay young into old age or age very young. They thrive near water. Men, states of mind, come and go. In the end, these bright, engaging...

The title of Jane Urquhart's third novel [Away] is not just a reference to Mary, an intriguing character who, on a remote island off the northern coast of Ireland, gets taken by a daemon lover, renamed, and claimed by the "other-world." Rather, the condition of being "away" resonates as a metaphor, reminding us how a writer must feel when she is writing or a reader when she is engaged by fiction, unwilling or unable to leave completely the...

S3 Graphics, a designer of graphics processors and a subsidiary of Via Technologies, on Friday said that it had partnered with Presagis, a provider of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) modeling, simulation and embedded display graphics software, to deliver an optimized display driver for the S3 Graphics 2300E GPU in safety-critical avionics applications.
"S3 Graphics is excited to join Presagis at the forefront of next generation avionics and safety-critical application development. With deep expertise in providing certifiable solutions, Presagis can help S3 Graphics deliver its unique low-power GPU solutions to aviation and other safety-critical customers," said Dr. Ken Weng, general manager of S3 Graphics
Presagis will provide associated services for the S3 Graphics 2300E GPU, including customized porting support, essential for customers assembling proprietary hardware systems. The new driver solution is particularly well-suited for safety-critical applications in avionics that use DO-178B and DO-254 certified applications.

[email protected]? If so, sorry for the delay.
If not, the answer for connecting to a 3-conductor jack is:
RED to TIP
BLACK to RING
BARE to GROUND
The blue and the clear-ish wires go unused as they were for an optional 5-conductor jack with splitter box that was briefly available as an accessory for the original Duet system.
Bryan - thanks for the reply. I am a luthier and was repairing the guitar for the owner. Something seemed fishy with it though since all the wires were in a knot hanging in the middle of the guitar when I first got it. The wire clip is as close as possible to the hole as I could get it with respect to the bracing. Clamped tightly. After that, the rest of the pickup had no real place to be attached since it would not reach the location where I clamped the volume control and battery wires. I wire clamped it to the top and tried to have it as tight as possible. I am considering clamping the pickup in a small piece of foam to isolate it.
Again, thanks for any insight.
Hi Brooks,
In the next to last sentence in your paragraph, you mentioned clamping the wire to the top. Is that a second anchor to the top or the one close to the hole leading to the saddle slot? If it is a second point at which the pickup wire is anchored to the top, it should be moved to either the side or back of the inside of the body. Aside from the one anchor point for the pickup(which is crucial, to be sure), it should not be wire clipped to the soundboard at any other location.
Thanks again Bryan - Yes, I did clamp it again to the top. My bad. I will get it clamped to the side after I get in touch with the owner. If that doesn´t get rid of the handling noise (really strong - even when everything was just dangling in the middle of the guitar) is it possible to use foam or something to isolate it better ? Unfortunately we have not had any active distribution of Baggs products here for several years and the Element is not a system that I have seen too much of. I have encouraged the dealer to order several Anthem pickups (which he has done @ NAMM).
Thanks again.
Hi Brooks,
Making sure the Element wire is anchored to the top at approximately 1-1.5" from the hole, and that being the only soundboard anchor, should eliminate the handling noise or at least reduce it greatly.
If it persists, contact us directly for more info or to arrange for testing and repair or replacement.
Ok Brian - I will get it taken care of - thanks again.
Bryan, I'm looking for a pdf of a document that used to be included with either your LB-6 pickup, or the old TRS input mixer preamp which was discontinued long ago. The document related to wiring up various types of mic capsules such as the Joe Mills or Crown GLM200E.
Specifically, I would like to add a Crown GLM200 to the ring-sleeve pins of your strap-jack, while the M1-Active uses tip-sleeve.
In the document I'm searching for, the Crown GLM200E was wired with one of the leads to ground with an intermediary resistor-capacitor. I don't remember the values or the wiring.
Thanks, and best regards.
Hi John,
The documentation I think you're looking for is something we provided with our Mixpro external belt-clip preamp/mixer.
I don't have a way to link a pdf to this reply. If you email this question to [email protected] I will reply with the microphone supplement pdf.

Excellent product for more than the recommended uses
Reviewer2169417により Jul 16, 2010 に掲載
This product says it was designed to allow more fiber into the diet while still enjoying sweet treats. This is undoubtedly true, but that is not why I find it so useful. My husband cannot have processed sugar of any kind, and this product substitutes pretty well as a sweetener in baked goods. The texture is more like powdered sugar than baker's sugar, when you handle it, but it does not act like powdered sugar in recipes. However, it is much sweeter (even in this diluted form) than traditional white sugar, and I usually substitute 1/4 or 1/3 of the original amount of sugar called for.
Good for baking

This is the best stevia product I have found so far for baking. I use less than the container recommends and my baking usually turns out well. It does take some experiementation with recipes that require exact measurements, but generally it isn't too hard to replace all the sugar in a recipe with this product.
Tastes good
Reviewer2087981により Mar 17, 2009 に掲載
I like using this in my hot chocolate and baking. But not so much when I put it on my oatmeal, its clumps up and doesnt really blend well, thats why i gave it 4 stars. I would just use it for baking.

Es un buen recurso para la repostería. Endulza sin necesidad de añadir mucha cantidad, y no queda regusto a regaliz siempre que no te pases con la medida.

Just tried this in a recipe the other day. It turned out as good as the original. Will buy larger size when I have finished this container.
good affordable product

I use this for baking muffins and cookies. It is a good product but I am gluten sensitive and didn't see it had oat in it. My bad for not reading the label more carefully. Good stuff but not gluten free.

Chariot "Gypsy" (Jim Neal Wines) 2008

Or maybe Dr. Pepper? I'm sure some folks will be mad you burst their bubbles, but you gotta call it like it is. I'd love to see this tasted blind against similar blends like The Prisoner that cost $25 or $30 more. Some residual sugar and fruit-forward winemaking can cover for a lot of flaws.
This reminds me I was a fan of Novella Synergy for a few $ more. The next time I need some cheap drinkers, I'll put Gypsy and Novella head to head.

By the way, the other day I overheard the local TJs wine "expert" talking to a customer about the "fracas" on the chianti bottles. That straw basket thing is a fiasco, not a fracas. You get what you pay for.
Incidentally, there was a great line on an episode of The Wire concerning a Cotes du Rhone. Bunk: "The sommelier behind the plexi said it was dry." How bout those sommeliers in the Hawaiin themed t-shirts?

That is hilarious. I stopped watching "The Wire" after about the fourth season because my girlfriend was not a fan...which was a mistake. We recently watched the first season again, but I couldn't get her to get into it. Maybe I'll try again?? Regardless, those are two priceless bits of comedy at the expense of Trader Joes. Who knew David Simon was such a jokester?

The humor in The Wire is as dry as a French rouge. Fortunately, my gf is into it. You have to start from the beginning and be committed to it. Otherwise it's tough to get into and follow.

CFP - that's an interesting proposal for a blind tasting between this and the prisoner. are you suggesting their similar styles? i enjoyed the prisoner, but didn't think the flavor profile resembled what jeff's describing in his review of the gypsy. i guess i'll just need to drop a $5 and find out.
- February 16, 2010 at 12:41 PM
- Jeff said...
Maybe I'll have to check out the Prisoner too just for the sake of comparison...
5$ is totally worth it for this wine, IMHO, although it's not a style I like. It's a great example for its' style.
- February 16, 2010 at 12:53 PM
- CabFrancoPhile said...
T-pops, I've never had The Prisoner, but the blend sounds similar, not necessarily styles. I'd expect The Prisoner to win since it's sourced fruit with a real plan, whereas I'd bet Gypsy is just decent bulk wine creatively blended. Half of it is my curiosity to see if people really like The Prisoner or if they like its cult wine with a large production image. The other half is placing two "cult" wines head to head for fun.
- February 16, 2010 at 1:50 PM
- CabFrancoPhile said...
Jeff, based on the tasting notes I've seen on The Prisoner and your preferences, I think you'd be wasting $35. But I think the resulting blog post would be highly entertaining . . . .
- February 16, 2010 at 2:12 PM
- Jeff said...
Fair enough...I'd rather spend the money on this.
- February 16, 2010 at 2:14 PM
- CabFrancoPhile said...
That would be an even better blog post.
- February 16, 2010 at 2:22 PM
- Tricerapops said...
ugh, re-read my comment again, i clearly meant to ask if you're implying that THEY ARE similar in styles (Prisoner and Gypsy). yes, the prisoner is a great example of marketing (larger scale production, but still a cult-ish following) but i have to admit - it was pretty good. i found it restrained for something of a mesh of varieties (although it's mostly zin), and others that i have tried (CA red blends) can come off a bit strong-handed. CFP, i like the way you put it, that there is a 'plan' for the prisoner.
- February 16, 2010 at 3:33 PM
- Joshiemac said...
Good call on this wine. I like it for what it is: a solid $5.00 fruit-forward wine. I bought a case to drink myself from time to time and to bring to parties/gatherings with people who aren't into wine or don't really care what they are drinking. It's a good value option for those kinds of people. I've found that my in to drinking but not into wine friends love the Gypsy. I'd hate to waste something more textured or complex on people who wouldn't know the difference or care to know the difference.
On a different note, I ran across an older review you did on the 2006 Scilio Etna Rosso. I share your sentiment, I think the wine is awesome. Even better, it's now on sale for 12.99 at K&L. That's about as good as QPR as you're going to find. I went to my local K&L here in SF and picked up a few bottles to stash away.
- February 17, 2010 at 1:50 PM
- Jeff said...
That's the same use I have for the Chariot...great minds think alike.
I remember that Etna Rosso really clearly. It rung my bell. Lately, K&L has all sorts of stuff they're marking down that is awesome. I will have to get another couple of bottles--thank you for the heads up!

Just saw the CellarTracker notes: http://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=838537. Ouch!
- February 18, 2010 at 10:18 PM
- Jeff said...
Haha. Ouch is right. Not that different from what I think for the most part. Maybe I am a bit more tolerant than the typical Cellar Tracker user? The wine IS 5$, and there is WAY worse stuff that is substantially more. As an aside, how come none of the majors factor price into their point ratings?

Chariot Gypsy is amazingly good: excellent packaging and perfect taste. The cost is nothing for me as it is worth the pay.

Dr. Randal Jelks to lead 2013 February Meetings
Dr. Randal Jelks to lead 2013 February Meetings
Jan. 15, 2013
Contact: Mary Moates '14, Communications Assistant
865.981.8207; firstname.lastname@example.com
Dr. Randal Maurice Jelks, professor, clergyman and writer, will be the guest speaker for Maryville College's 2013 February Meetings, scheduled for Feb. 25-26.
Jelks, the associate professor of American Studies with a joint appointment in African and African American Studies at the University of Kansas, is the co-editor of the academic journal American Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal, as well as the co-founder and co-editor of the Michigan-based blog, "The Black Bottom." He will provide two lectures centered on the 2013 February Meetings' theme, "Thinking, Acting, and Living for Justice: Lessons from the Civil Rights Movement."
"Dr. Jelks will help us think about movements for justice in the United States beyond the names that are already familiar to us. He will help us see that every movement for change has its foundation in intellectual thought, dedication in the face of defeat and those who teach and support the visible leaders behind the scenes," said the Rev. Dr. Anne D. McKee, campus minister. "This will inspire us and help us think through what our roles might be in moving farther along the path toward justice."
On Feb. 25, at 7 p.m., Jelks will be speaking on "Benjamin Elijah Mays, Freedom of Conscience, and the Long Civil Rights Movement."
Last year, Jelks published Benjamin Elijah Mays: Schoolmaster of the Movement, a biography about the man whom Martin Luther King Jr. called his "spiritual and intellectual father." In the book, Jelks argues that Mays' ability to connect the message of Christianity with responsibility to challenge injustice prepared the black church for its pivotal role in the civil rights movement.
Jelks' second lecture, "The Challenges and Discomforts of the Prophetic Imagination," will begin at 1 p.m., Feb. 26.
Both lectures will be in held in the Lambert Recital Hall of the Clayton Center for the Arts and are free and open to the community.
Jelks holds a bachelor's degree in history from University of Michigan, a master of divinity degree from McCormick Theological Seminary and a doctorate in Comparative Black Histories from Michigan State University. He is also an ordained clergy person in the Presbyterian Church (USA).
Held annually at the College since 1877, February Meetings have offered the College and local community an opportunity to come together to consider questions of faith and responsible living in the world. In years past, guest speakers and special music have been highlights of the condensed lecture series, which is open to all members of the College community, people in the area and visitors, including the College's Board of Church Visitors.
For more information on February Meetings, contact the McKee at 865.981.8299 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Here's how RW members rated this race (254 votes).
In short: Woah this was toughIn full: Excellent marshalling, nice to see smiley faces. But boy is this a tough race. I should be back next year!!!!Date of review: February 6, 2006
In short: Very enjoyableIn full: I really enjoyed it. Great marshalls and interesting course. Really disappointed about the goody bag though. Would have loved a t'shirt or a medal. Please bring it back for next year!!!Date of review: February 4, 2006
In short: If u like muddiness!!In full: I'm glad I've done the race, although it wasn't quite what I expected. What I didn't expect was miles and miles of muddy trail, about 12/15. My trainers were so heavy with mud. I had to walk alot because it was quite slippery. It was more like a x-country. Thankfully, the weather was quite nice. I was pleased to see the finish line. Would I do it again, certainly not but as I've said, I'm glad I've done it. Some people loves it, some don't; this is not my cup of tea! Date of review: February 3, 2006
In short: Challenging in places, good marshalls, train for distance though.In full: Very cold day to start, quite muddy difficult in places especially on camber. Need more water stations,& jelly babies. Everyone friendly, missed the hot tea afterwards though due to showers/changing rooms at the school.Date of review: February 3, 2006
In short: Do not miss this late January runIn full: Firstly, fantastic organisation. I feel this could be construed as a little biased, as Benfleet is my club, but why lie?This was my first time at this event in nearly 10 years of running, and I'm hooked. The weather was kind this year (dry but cold), but the course was still sticky in places, particularly between miles 8 and 9. The good old Essex clay stuck to your shoes, like that well known blanket adhesive.The start is flat and gentle, with the hills kicking in big time after 5 1/2 miles. By mile 10, you're back on the flat and cruising for home. Do not underestimate the effort required on the hills, the mud stuck to your feet alone requires huge effort to run, and it stays with you for the rest of the race - hence the lead legs at the end.More water stops would have been nice personally, but other runners I spoke to were happy, so I guess it's a personal thing. I really liked the bag storage - the lady watches out for you, and as all the bags are marked with your race number, she hands it to you - a really nice touch.I too felt a little disappointed with the lack of t-shirt. Yes, I have dozens of the things, but would have liked one, as you can advertise your success/misery. That said, the goody bag was ok, and I'll probably use the ID tag which was a thoughtful alternative to 'yet another t-shirt' (which is fine if you already have a Benfleet 15 t-shirt).Roll on 2007Date of review: February 3, 2006
In short: Worth The Crack!In full: Great organisation, Marshalls excellent, Goody Bag-Rather have a T-shirt! All in all not as muddy as I expected and quite enjoyable (especially when you have finished)Date of review: January 31, 2006
In short: A prize windburnt face and wincing from worse than post marathon legs were worth the sense of acheivement from completing this challenging, windy, freezing, well marshalled course worth it!Date of review: January 30, 2006
In short: Cold, windy, and challenging......In full: I almost stopped after 4 miles, but thought that as I'd done the training, the pain would be worth boasting the 2006 T-Shirt.........but was mistaken. Thanks to all the happy marshalls!Date of review: January 30, 2006
In short: Very well marshalled. Rubbish Goody BagDate of review: January 30, 2006
In short: Challenging course/conditions - very well orgainsed with excellent and supportive marshalling. Goody bag disappointing.Date of review: January 30, 2006

U.S. Women Lose Semifinal to Dominican Republic
Bill Kauffman
Manager, Media Relations and Publications

E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Unofficial DataVolley Stats - Official Stats
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 25, 2010) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team dropped a 22-25, 25-23, 25-22, 25-16 match to Dominican Republic on Friday evening during the second semifinal match of the IX Pan American Cup being held in Tijuana, Mexico.
Team USA, which won Pool B to advance directly to the semifinals, will face Cuba in the bronze medal match on Saturday at 5 p.m. PT. Peru upset Cuba, the winner of Pool A, 25-18, 25-23, 25-23 in the first semifinal match of the evening to advance to its first-ever Pan American Cup gold-medal match and clinch its first-ever medal in the event. Ironically, both the pool winners lost their semifinal matches with the second-place finishers in the opposite pools.
"It was a great match," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand said. "It's always a battle between us, and today they were the better team. Now we have to go back and prepare for tomorrow's match."
Team USA is still in the hunt to reach the Pan American Cup podium for the first time since 2004 as it will attempt to have the bronze medals hung around their necks Saturday evening. The U.S. medaled in the first three Women's Pan American Cups, starting with a bronze in the inaugural event in 2002, the gold in 2003 and the silver in 2004. Since then, Team USA has not reached the podium in the five most recent events. Cuba has won the event four times, while the defending champion Brazil has captured the gold medal twice. Dominican Republic won the event in 2008.
The U.S. used a 5-0 scoring run to recover from an 18-14 deficit in the first set to win 25-22, thanks to out-scoring its opponent 11-4 down the stretch. Dominican Republic bounced back to win the second set 25-23 after trailing 22-20, giving the U.S. its first set loss of the entire tournament. In a set that featured 14 ties, Dominican Republic recovered from a late 20-17 deficit to win the third set 25-22 with eight of final 10 points. After nine early ties and three lead changes in the fourth set, Dominican Republic, which has reached the gold-medal match in five of the nine Pan American Cups with one gold medal and at least a bronze in all eight previous events, erupted for an 11-2 scoring run with the score tied at 9-all and eased to a 25-16 victory.
For the second straight tournament this June, the U.S. will play NORCECA rival Cuba. Team USA defeated Cuba on June 12 during the semifinals of the Montreux Volley Masters in Montreux, Switzerland, before falling to China in four sets during the gold-medal match on June 13. Last year, Cuba defeated the U.S. twice at the NORCECA Continental Championship, rallying from a two-set deficit both times. The Americans are now 50-90 against their NORCECA rivals since 1983.
By virtue of reaching the semifinals and being guaranteed as one of the top three finishing NORCECA teams at the Pan American Cup, the U.S. has already qualified for the 2011 FIVB World Grand Prix. Peru, as the top South American team in the Pan American Cup, will join the top three NORCECA teams (Dominican Republic, USA, Cuba) at next year's 12-team FIVB World Grand Prix.
Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) and Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) led the U.S. with 12 points apiece. Larson tallied her points with nine kills on 29 attempts to go with two blocks and an ace. Akinradewo scored her dozen points with nine kills on 23 attacks and three blocks. Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) charted eight points, all on kills. Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa) collected five kills and three blocks for eight points. Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) was credited with three kills and three blocks for six points. Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) scored all four of her points on blocks, while her former Penn State teammates Christa Harmotto (Aliquippa, Pa.) and Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) had matching four points. Ogonna Nnamani (Bloomington, Ill.) rounded out the scoring with one point.
"(Dominican Republic's) defense was impressive," said Metcalf, the USA team captain. "Our team needs to improve and play the kind of game we have been practicing for many months."
Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) tallied a team-high 18 digs and had 15 excellent service receptions on 22 attempts. Larson added nine digs and 16 excellent service receptions on defense. Glass provided 48 running sets, while Courtney Thompson (Kent, Wash.) added nine.
McCutcheon started Glass at setter, Metcalf at opposite, Akinradewo and Harmotto at middle blocker, and Larson and Hodge at outside hitter. Sykora was the designated libero for the match. Barboza was a sub in the first two set and started the final two sets. Nnamani and Thompson were subs in the first three sets, then started the final set. Bown came off the bench in the third set and started the fourth.
Team USA out-blocked Dominican Republic 17-14 at the net, while Dominican Republic had a slim 52-49 advantage in digs. Both teams were held to one service ace. Dominican Republic's offense converted 32.0 percent of its attacks into points and held the Americans to a 25.0 percent on attacks.
Priscilla Rivera lead Dominican Republic with a match-high 20 points, while Annerys Vargas Valdez chipped in 15 points. Gina Altagracia Mambru tacked on 14 points in the victory.
"Today we played as a team and followed the instructions with discipline," Dominican Captain Milagros Cabral said. "We really came prepared to play five sets because always there is a battle between these two teams. Making the finals was one of our goals and we accomplished it."
"Of all the tournaments I have been at the helm of the Dominican team, this has been our worst but today we had our best match of the competition," Dominican Republic Head Coach Marcos Kwiek said. "We came prepared to play five sets against a tough American team and we have been working very hard for several months."
The U.S. reached the Pan American Cup semifinals with five consecutive days of victories starting June 18 with a key 27-25, 25-22, 25-17 victory over Peru, which went on to win its next four matches. On June 19, the Americans blanked Puerto Rico 25-13, 25-17, 25-14. Last year, the U.S. defeated Puerto Rico in pool play during the Pan American Cup, only to have Puerto Rico come back for the upset over the Americans in the bronze-medal match. Team USA continued to gather steam with a 25-17, 25-9, 25-11 victory over surprising Trinidad & Tobago, which won its first two matches of the tournament (and its four-year history competing in the event). The U.S. dominated its fourth match against Costa Rica on June 21, winning 25-11, 25-10, 25-2. In its final pool match on June 22, the Americans topped Mexico 25-14, 25-16, 25-15 in front of 2,500 fans.
Dominican Republic scored the first two points of the opening set, but Hodge and Metcalf bounced the USA back into a tie at 2-all with consecutive kills. Dominican Republic built a five-point cushion at 8-3 going into the first technical timeout with five unanswered points. Team USA sliced the deficit to 10-8 with two Akinradewo kills around a Metcalf spike leading to a Dominican Republic timeout. Out of the break, Dominican Republic scored the next two points to regain a four-point edge at 12-8. After a Dominican Republic service error, Hodge pounded a cross-court winner and Metcalf put u p a block to narrow the score to 12-11. Dominican Republic responded with three consecutive points to move back in front 15-11. The Americans tied the score at 18-all with a Larson kill, two Dominican Republic errors and a Nnamani block. With Barboza continuing as a serving sub, the U.S. took the lead with a Larson block at 19-18 on its fifth straight point. The U.S. increased its lead to 22-19 with an Akinradewo block and Metcalf kill after a Dominican Republic service error. Dominican Republic regrouped to score back-to-back points to inch to within 22-21 leading to a USA timeout. The Americans reached set point at 24-22 with a Hodge kill, then won the set on the next play with a Metcalf block.
As with the first set, Dominican Republic scored the opening two points of the second set. The Americans tied the set at 7-all after a Barboza block followed a Dominican Republic service error. Team USA went into the first technical timeout with an 8-7 lead following Dominican Republic's attack going long for the American's third straight point. Out of the break, the U.S. scored a fourth straight point at 9-7 on a Dominican error as it couldn't control an Akinradewo block. Glass put up a block after a Barboza kill to extend the American margin to 13-10. Dominican Republic claimed the next two points to crawl back to 13-12 leading to a USA timeout. Dominican quickly tied the score at 13-all out of the break. Dominican Republic continued the surge and grabbed the lead at 15-14. The U.S. went back into the lead at 16-15 following two Larson kills going into the second technical timeout. Out of the break, Akinradewo collected a block to push the gap to two points for USA, 17-15. Dominican Republic answered with consecutive points to tie the set at 17-all. Team USA assumed a three-point cushion at 21-18 with a Metcalf kill and back-to-back Harmotto blocks leading to a Dominican Republic timeout. Dominican Republic battled back to tie the set at 22-all. Dominican Republic returned to the lead at set point 24-23 and won on a block at 25-23.
Team USA earned a 3-1 lead to start the third set as Barboza slammed a kill after a Dominican Republic service error. Dominican Republic answered with three quick points to take a 4-3 advantage. Bown was inserted into the match and quickly slammed consecutive kills to give the lead back to the U.S. at 5-4. The Americans went into the first technical timeout leading 8-6 after back-to-back Dominican Republic errors. Out of the break, Dominican Republic tied the set at 8-all with back-to-back points, then regained the lead back at 11-10. The U.S. returned to the lead at 13-11 with a Bown block between Dominican Republic errors. Dominican Republic tied the set at 15-all with consecutive points. Team USA grabbed a 19-16 advantage out with kills from Akinradewo and Barboza around a Larson ace leading to a Dominican Republic timeout. Dominican Republic responded with back-to-back points forcing USA to call a timeout clinging to a 20-19 advantage, then tied it out of the break at 20-all with its third straight point. Dominican Republic took the lead at 22-21 with an ace leading to a USA timeout. Dominican Republic reached set point at 24-22 with back-to-back points, then won the set 25-22 with an overpass kill.
The fourth set had nine ties and three lead changes before either team had a two-point cushion with Dominican Republic taking a 12-9 advantage with three unanswered points. Out of a USA timeout, Dominican Republic scored a fourth straight point at 13-9. Dominican Republic went into the second technical timeout leading 16-11 with back-to-back points. Dominican Republic extended its lead to 20-11 with four additional points out of the break as part of a 6-0 scoring run. The USA broke the run with kills from Barboza and Hodge around a Bown block to slice the deficit to 20-14. However, the U.S. could not get any closer as Dominican Republic closed out the set with a 25-16 victory.

'Breaking Bad' Finale: What's Next for Creator Vince Gilligan
LOS ANGELES — The "Breaking Bad" finale doesn't air until Sunday but Vince Gilligan, the show's creator, showrunner and executive producer is already breaking fresh ground. Last weekend, after five seasons, and three previous nominations, "Breaking Bad," finally won the Emmy for best drama.
When Gilligan heard his show called for the outstanding drama Emmy award, he assumed he was having an "out of body experience."
"I thought for sure Netflix and 'House of Cards' was going to take it," he told the Journal at the Governor's Ball. "I thought it was going to be their night, but it's ours, and I still can't really believe it," he added.
This week, CBS officially confirmed his next project, a detective-style drama entitled "Battle Creek." The series, already greenlit for the 2014-2015 season, was first developed by Gilligan in 2002. CBS originally passed on the project, but it was revisited as network execs saw the success of "Breaking Bad."
David Shore, the creator of "House," has signed on to act as executive producer and showrunner for "Battle Creek," and Gilligan has expressed his interest in directing.
The "Breaking Bad" series finale on AMC is expected to have an audience of at least 10 million viewers. Gilligan didn't feel the need to mention the show's end either in his acceptance speech or during this reporter's interview, although he was reminded of it by his leading men, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul.
Both actors were nominated, Cranston for best actor and Paul for best supporting actor in a drama series, but fell to Jeff Daniel's for HBO's "The Newsroom" and Bobby Cannavale for "Boardwalk Empire."
"This is the one that matters," Cranston told the Journal, as Paul enthusiastically agreed, referring to the Emmy the show did win.
Just hours after he grasped the award, Gilligan found himself humbled again as this reporter relayed Cranston and Paul's sentiments to the show's creator.
"That Bryan and Aaron would say that means more to me than the Emmy," Gillian said.
"Breaking Bad," made its debut in 2008 and centers on a chemistry teacher who turns to the drug trade when he is diagnosed with cancer.
"I don't have to say goodbye," Gillian said, referring to the in-the-works spinoff "Better Call Saul, " a show centered on Saul Goodman (better known as Walter White's lawyer). "It feels so good, everything is just so good," Gilligan said as friends like Matt Weiner, the creator and showrunner of "Mad Men," embraced the "Breaking Bad" creator.

Skip to comments.Obama, McCain end long-running feud (Obama, McCain meet to plot next amnesty push)
Posted on 02/02/2011 7:11:04 PM PST by rabscuttle385
Having a better relationship with Obama allows McCain to have the president's ear on his key priorities, while Obama can gain a clearer picture of what is happening on the Republican side by talking to McCain.
While there was no doubt they have differences on many policy issues, Obama and McCain discussed areas where common ground between Democrats and Republicans might be found.
McCain spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said they discussed the situation in the Egypt and the Middle East, immigration reform and border security, free trade and ways to end pet spending projects called "earmarks" that are tucked into the U.S. budget by lawmakers.
"Senator McCain looks forward to working with the president to address issues of mutual concern for the welfare of our country in these challenging times," she said.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
McCain — what the hell is wrong with you? All conservative for the election, then back to RINO-land.
Would that be the feud that started when Juan said Barky would make a fine president?
FUJM, FUBO, FUDEMS, FURINOS, and again FUJM
I believe he will emerge in an upcoming episode of "V" as one of the lizard people.
Hey McCain:
Arizona, take off your rainbow shades
Arizona, have another look at the world, my my
Arizona, cut off your Indian braids
Arizona, hey won'tcha go my way
Hey, Arizona, take off your hobo shoes
Arizona, have another look at the world, my my
Arizona, get off your 8-ball blues
Arizona, hey won'tcha go my way
Come on, hey, Arizona, take off your rainbow shades
2008 FLASHBACK: McCain Booed For Calling Obama A "Decent Man You Don?t Have To Be Afraid Of"
Can we refer to it as the Hussein-McCain Amnesty Bill?
The good people of Arizona elected an ass in an elephant suit.
I will go out on a limb now, but I bet McCain wont try amnesty again anytime soon, Why? The economy.
Disgusting,look at those Two pieces of Crap!
I never apologize for anything because "it's a sign of weakness" but I apologize to all of my FReeper FRiends for McCain's getting re-elected. A lot of us did what we could but the elitist, "Save the Status Quo" Republicans topedoed Hayworth on us.
I never knew there was a feud, and there wasn't. I am still convinced McPain may have voted for Obama electors just to please his wife and daughter.
"Fight with me friends......."
Now that McShame has 6 more years to wreak havoc he is in energy mode on Amnesty. What does he care? In 6 more years he will probably be dead.
What "feud" was this? I somehow missed it, despite being on FR daily throughout the 2008 election and beyond.
Weak primary opponent + whacked out Dem general opponent = Rio Grande Juan McKennedy comes back to make Arizonans choke down their bile for another term.
Screw that old bastard McCain.
He took a dive in 2008.
I never apologize for anything because its a sign of weakness but I apologize to all of my FReeper FRiends for McCains getting re-elected. A lot of us did what we could but the elitist, Save the Status Quo Republicans topedoed Hayworth on us.
Supporting any canididate who supports Illegal Alien Amnesty...supports Illegal Alien Amnesty
McCain and Obama ready to do the bidding for the Hispanic Ku Klux Klan groups....pushing the Illegal Alien Amnesty/Aztlan/Reconquista agenda
If McCain goes for Amnesty, how might a recall work in AZ?
Where did Ol' Campaign McCain go?
Thanks, Zonies, for re-electing this blithering idiot to the US Senate!
I have some advice for you, Senator: Send Obongo Bozo a letter politely refusing to meet him, and then tell him to kiss your ass!
I think that I just threw up... yep... you nailed it.
But McCain never had a feud with ObaMao. Who can forget McCain talking his introduction speaker to task for having the temerity to use ObaMao's middle name? Who can forget him muzzling Sarah Palin after she gave the ticket a brief bump in the polls with her barn burner speech when the teleprompter malfunctioned? Who can forget him suspending the campaign to rush home and vote for TARP while ObaMao was allowed to vote "present".
Worst of all, who can forget him telling a national audience of the American people that we had nothing to fear from an ObaMao presidency?
BO may be nice to his wife, daughters and even his pet dog. But at heart, he is a street thug who deeply hates America and all that we stand for.
But McCain never had a feud with ObaMao.
Boy did you nail it. We really have McPain to thank for this atrocity known as the 0bamao regime. I'd just love to see Ol' Juan live up to his conservative rhetoric for 5 minutes after the election is over. I think Sarah Palin is realizing what an albatross McPain is, and the mistake she made in endorsing him in this past election. It looked to me like she was simply repaying a debt she felt she owed ol' Juan for really launching her political career outside of AK.
Thank goodness J. D. Hayworth didn't take the AZ seat, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see this type of collaboration with the Organizer-in-Chief./sarc
I hope you are right, but there are too many RINOs in the senate, and you know how much they care what the voters think, except once every 6 years.
Oh, how sweet; and with Valentine's Day right around the corner.
See also Unemployment falls to 9.0 pct., only 36K new jobs (Presto).
I don't think voters are dumb enough to believe that rosy fraud, but amnesty loving politicians will try any excuse.

New York Giants Eli Manning Autographed Memorabilia and Collectibles
Eli Manning is the starting quarterback for the New York Giants. Manning comes from a long line of football megastars, as the son of former NFL quarterback, Archie Manning, and brother of Denver Broncos quarterback, Peyton Manning. Just like his brother Peyton in 1998, Eli Manning was taken with the top overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. The San Diego Chargers drafted Manning with the No.1 pick, but traded him to the New York Giants. Since joining the Giants, Manning has enjoyed a huge amount of success with the team and has become one of the premier quarterbacks in the league today.
Manning's time with the Giants has been highlighted by his two successful trips to the Super Bowl. Manning led an underdog Giants team through a number of upsets in the NFC playoffs, and eventually paired his team against an undefeated New England Patriots squad that was on the verge of making history. Manning was named MVP of Super Bowl XLVII after he completed 19-of-34 passes for 255 yards and two touchdowns. With that victory alone, Eli Manning etched his name in NFL history as the player who stopped New England's bid for a perfect 19-0 season. In 2011, Manning proved many of his critics who said his Super Bowl title was a fluke wrong when he again led his team to the title game against the New England Patriots. Manning's 9-7 Giants team was the underdog, again, when they met Tom Brady in Super Bowl XLVI. Manning was named Super Bowl MVP for the second time in his career after guiding his team to the 21-17 victory.
Eli Manning's two Super Bowl rings have placed him in the elite class of quarterbacks in the NFL today, and will surely mark him as one of the best players to ever play the game. Manning will always remain a part of NFL history because of his memorable game-saving plays in the biggest stage the NFL has to offer: the Super Bowl. Our selection of Eli Manning memorabilia offers collectors of all sorts the perfect addition to their collection.
- Eli Manning Autographed Footballs: Eli Manning is already considered to be the best quarterback in New York Giants history. He holds franchise records for career touchdown passes, passing yards, and completions. Manning has also distinguished himself as a top quarterback in the NFL, he became the only quarterback in history to pass for more than 4,900 yards and win the Super Bowl in the same season. An autographed Eli Manning football is the perfect addition to any NFL memorabilia collection since it is hand-signed by the legendary quarterback and many even commemorate his Super Bowl MVP titles with inscriptions like "2X SB MVP". Because Manning rarely signs items, his memorabilia has always been extremely desirable and valuable so the time to invest in Eli Manning collectibles is now before he retires and eventually joins the greatest of all time in the Hall of Fame.
- Eli Manning Signed Jerseys: If you're an NFL memorabilia collector and are looking to take your collection to the next level, then the addition of a signed Eli Manning jersey is an absolute must. Manning has established himself as an extremely "clutch" player when his team needs him most and earned a place among the best quarterbacks in the league. Manning holds the NFL single-season record for most fourth-quarter touchdown passes with 15, so it's clear that Manning raises his play in the tough moments. Giants fans can show their team pride with a signed Eli Manning jersey to honor their team's leader and serious collectors must include an icon of the sport in their collection. His elite play makes an autographed Eli Manning jersey a piece of sports memorabilia that will take center stage in your collection and take it to the next level.
- Eli Manning Autographed Helmets: As the all-time leader in passing touchdowns and passing yards for the New York Giants, Eli Manning memorabilia is currently at a very desirable level, especially among New York Giants fans. A signed Eli Manning helmet is perfect for collectors that primarily collect Giants memorabilia or all New York fans. All autographed Eli Manning helmets feature the official Giants colors and design to show team pride and honor the greatest to wear a New York football uniform. A helmet can be used as a centerpiece for your collection when signed by a player of Eli Manning's caliber and is a great conversation starter. This specific autographed Giants helmet honors Eli Manning's 200th touchdown pass, which is a Giants record.
- Eli Manning Signed Mini Helmets: A mini helmet is the ideal substitution for a full-sized helmet in terms of affordability and ease of display. Mini helmets are identical to the full-sized helmets, but take up less space and are perfect for fans and collectors to display anywhere. Just as their larger counterpart, signed Eli Manning mini helmets all come in New York Giants design, and many denote some of his best achievements with special inscriptions. A signed Eli Manning autographed mini helmet is the perfect sports collectible to preserve the winning moments that Manning has provided NFL fans throughout his career and his iconic place in football history.
- Eli Manning Autographed Photos: As a two-time Super Bowl MVP, Eli Manning has secured a spot in NFL history as one of the top quarterbacks to ever play the game. Being such an extraordinary athlete, the Giants quarterback has produced some of the most memorable moments since joining the NFL that can be captured for a lifetime with signed Eli Manning photos. An autographed Eli Manning photo that hand-signed by the quarterback and pictures him in one of the greatest moments in his career it a solid investment and iconic piece for any fan or collectors. From after he led the Giants to an upset over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII to dropping back for one of many touchdown passes, everyone is sure to find a signed Eli Manning photo that brings back beloved memorabilia. With the addition of an autographed Eli Manning photo, your collection will always have a piece of memorabilia that preserves the success of a future Hall of Fame quarterback.

I backed a cake with the powder replacing 1 gr sugar by 1 gr of powder. The result was not bad, but the cake didn't rise as much as when using Sugar. It was also quite sticky. For me the taste was too sweet and the aftertaste was too strong. I will retry with half the amount of powder. I made some coco cakes, based on a recipe I have with sugar. The result was good, but totally different then when using sugar, and again it was too sweet and the aftertaste was too strong. I think it is a product with potential, but I bought it as a replacement 1 to 1 for sugar and it fails to do so. It is also lacking information in how to use and the amount to use in replacement of sugar.

N.Y. Power Authority to Conduct
Safety Inspections of Its Transmission Lines, Facilities
Brian Vattimo
printer-friendly version
June 28, 2005
WHITE PLAINS—The New York Power Authority (NYPA)
Board of Trustees Tuesday unanimously supported a measure that
authorizes electrical safety testing of all Power Authority transmission
and distribution facilities.
The action comes in light of a recent order by the
New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) requiring all regulated
electric utilities in the state to annually test their publicly
accessible transmission and distribution facilities for safety and
inspect all of their electric facilities at least once every five years.
"While NYPA is not subject to this order, our board
believes it is important that public safety remains a top priority and
that we have 100 percent confidence our transmission lines and
distribution facilities are safe and secure," said Eugene W. Zeltmann,
NYPA president and chief executive officer.
It is expected NYPA will spend $300,000 for the
testing, which will begin immediately. All the information and reports
generated from the safety testing program will be shared with the PSC.
NYPA has more than 1,400 miles of overhead
transmission lines which are supported by more than 14,000 transmission
structures on public lands. NYPA also has underground transmission
facilities and its various generation and substation facilities have
electrical distribution equipment.

text: Okay, this may be a stupid question, but I was watching the clips of "Paperback Writer" and "Rain" on the Anthology DVD and something looked really odd about Paul's mouth. Upon closer inspection, it looks like he had a fat lip and a chipped tooth. I remember hearing that he was in a car accident sometime in '65, but I don't know if it was before or after these clips (and why wouldn't they wait until he got his tooth fixed before shooting them?). Anyway, if anybody has any info, I'd appreciate it. Just curious.

Dunkirk Industrial Development Agency hears energy plan
A proposal that would help a local manufacturer with its electrical costs and management of its waste stream was presented to the Dunkirk Industrial Development Agency board of directors on Thursday.
Mark Barbera, a management member of Dunkirk Bioenergy, explained the plan would be to work with Fieldbrook Foods in the city to build a commercial anaerobic digester. The project has been in the planning stages and has received startup funding from the Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency and more recently, in December, $350,000 from the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council.
Barbera explained what the company has done so far and its plans for the digester. He said where exactly the facility would be built and whether there would be easement issues with the railroad tracks in the area were still under study. He added capitalization for the project was "coming together" and he was getting positive feedback from the New York State Energy Resource and Development Authority.
Barbera said there were four pieces to the project: taking in waste, generating power, steam heat and organic sluice – an undetermined organic product which could be used as fertilizer.
As for skepticism about such a project, Barbera said people will be convinced eventually. He said the goal is to have power generated by the end of the year, create six to eight jobs and save energy expenses.
"The majority of these installations are in Europe. … It is starting to become much more popular here," Barbera stated. "I think that once you build it … it will be for real."
Asked about odors from the facility, Barbera said it should not be a concern if the system operates properly. He added there were thousands of these types of facilities in Europe due to a lack of space for waste and the need to generate power.
Barbera said he was not asking for help now but may need some to do a SEQR review for the project.
Dunkirk Biomass has been working in the SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator.
The project was endorsed as a priority project by the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council in September under the renewable energy category. Dunkirk Bioenergy LLC filed articles of incorporation with the state in June 2011. In July 2011, the county IDA board of directors approved a five-year, $100,000 loan at 4 percent interest to provide working capital for the company.
Former City Assessor Andrew Woloszyn was the other presenter, and while Barbera wasn't looking for financial help, Woloszyn said he eventually would look to DIDA if his efforts pan out.
Woloszyn provided details of his work and investment history before talking about his idea to purchase a Rochester-based charcoal product distributor. Woloszyn said the product is high-end and used in barbecue contests and by barbecue grill shops.
The plan would be to operate from a Brigham Road site along with keeping a small presence in Rochester. Woloszyn said if the purchase proceeds he will be back before DIDA seeking some financial assistance. He added two part-time jobs would be created initially.
Development Director and DIDA board chairman Steve Neratko explained DIDA has a $198,049 initial allocation for 2013 from Empire State Development with more available for "worthy projects."
"The biggest thing they want to see is job creation," he added.
The meeting included the appointment of Mayor Anthony J. Dolce as DIDA executive director and chief executive officer and Fiscal Affairs Officer Richard Halas as DIDA treasurer.
In addition, the board approved hiring Johnson, Mackowiak & Associates to perform an audit of DIDA and its subsidiaries for activities in 2012 at a cost of $1,200, $600 lower than the other response. Options for the next two years at the same price were included.
The date and time of the next meeting of the board will be announced.

As of 15 October 2012, all Washington County tower sites have been programmed for "narrow band" operation.
The Department of Public Safety has assumed dispatching duties for the Hudson Falls Police Department the first week of December 2012.
The Washington County Department of Public Safety provides EMS and Fire dispatching for the following departments: all public safety agencies in Washington County and the following agencies in Rutland and Bennington Counties in Vermont: Dorset Fire, Fair Haven Fire & EMS, Mddle Town Springs Fire, Pawlet Fire, Poultney Fire & EMS, Rupert Fire, Wells Fire, West Pawlet Fire, East Dorset Fire.
The Washington County D.P.S. has completed a countywide radio system upgrade. Due to this upgrade the County now operates from several locations (at reduced power thanks to the FCC), with towers at the Municipal Center in Fort Edward, Willard Mountain in Easton, Colfax Mountain in Jackson, Burch Hill in Hebron and Mount Defiance in Ticonderoga. Due to the multiple tower locations this can effect your reception.

TITUSVILLE, N.J. — Make-up days have been added to the calendar at Howell Farm's 2009 "Schoolhouse Maze" because of a spate of rainy weekends. The extended calendar will give "students" more time to graduate according to the maze's operators, who note that conditions in their cornfield classroom remain excellent…thanks, ironically, to all the rain.
Hours of operation are noon-5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31 and noon-4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 1. The Maze also will be Saturday, Nov. 7, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 8, noon to 4 p.m.; Friday, Nov. 13, 5 to 8 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 14, noon to 4 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 15, noon to 4 p.m. During a special program on Nov. 7, maze goers will be treated to wildlife presentations by the Mercer County Wildlife Center, which will receive corn harvested from the maze to feed orphaned and injured wildlife. Special presentations that day are at noon and 2 p.m. Admission is $8 for ages 13 and older; $6 for children ages 5-12 and free for children 4 and under.
Depicting an old-fashioned schoolhouse, the maze's 2 ½ mile pathway winds through 4 acres of corn featuring a Maze master's Tower and bridge, a 30-speaker music system and numerous games played with flags, clues, hidden map pieces and prizes. In keeping with the theme, maze-goers are challenged to pass corn quizzes, collect kernels of knowledge and, in the end, graduate Corn Laude in agriculture, history and – for those taking their maze classes at night – navigation by moon and stars.
The maze also features a children's hay bale maze, pumpkin patch, hayrides, gift shop and food service. In addition to trying out the maze, visitors can head to the nearby historic farm to visit the animals, choose pumpkins and visit the refurbished barn and education center.
Howell Living History Farm is a facility of the Mercer County Park Commission. It is located on Valley Road, just off Rt. 29 two miles south of Lambertville, NJ. The Schoolhouse Maze is located on Valley Road, 1 mile west of the farm's historic site. For information about the farm or maze call 609-737-3299 or visit websites www.howellfarm.org OR www.mercercounty.org.

As a kid, I loved to watch the various Godzilla movies. I can still recall watching the original film, on television. Godzilla would walk through Tokyo and cause widespread destruction. What do you expect from an oversize lizard.
This was one character, I wouldn't want to see angry. If angered, Tokyo would often be on the receiving end. Godzilla was especially known for spewing out a fiery radioactive breath. Continue reading "Hey Godzilla! Tokyo's Calling! NOT!"

Tight Blonde Zigzags
Instead of cornrows or 'dreads, blonde hair is worked into zigzags that run the whole length of the head, back to front. Several shades of blonde pop because of the rows --- or could they have been worked into the rows? The neat, painstakingly worked zigzags form a cloche around the head, and uneven ends hang off of both sides, covering the ears. Shorter rows end up above the eyebrows. Not much movement is allowed in this style, but the intricacy and final shape more than make up for it.
