>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Lovely to Meander with HermesIn full: First time to this event, but thoroughly enjoyed it. The Thames Path is great to run along, although always busy, loads to see. Surprised to see the complaints about the lumpy terrain and lack of food, water and aid stations. The amazing baked treats are always a highlight of a Hermes event and this one was no exception, as it was an out-and-back course, the aid stations were visited twice and all of them were happy to fill water bottles for runners. There was also plenty of cakes, water etc. after the finish line, perhaps some people were too tired to notice. I thought the path was in pretty good condition, certainly better than most trail footpaths. I didn't really like the extra loop at the end of the event, it is always mentally tough to go past the finish and have to do more miles, but I understand this is being changed next year. Maybe a urinal for the men would be a good idea too, to help cut the queue for the toilets. Lovely medal, pleased to add that to my collection. Looking forward to the winter event, thanks again to Hermes for such a good day!Date of review: August 24, 2014
In short: Another excellent KRRIn full: Highly recommended event. On the face of it, running lots of laps might seem like a boring prospect, but the beauty of this course is that it is small enough that you can always see other runners and there's plenty of opportunities to cheer for your friends. The medal is awesome, the goody box was excellent and there is nothing that could be faulted in the organisation. The cyclopark has very good facilities, is very handy for the motorway and has a Morrisons next door, for last minute supplies. No wonder the eventis so popular! Looking forward to next year's event and the apparently even more awesome medal. Date of review: June 2, 2014
In short: A few minor niggles, but a very enjoyable event overallIn full: I thought the corrals at the start were rather chaotic with some very slow runners being much too far forward, but luckily the roads were wide enough to get past them. Generous supply of gels, water and Lucozade sport, interesting course, great medal and t-shirt, free pint of beer and live bands afterwards. Will definitely be back.Date of review: May 25, 2014
In short: Even the weather couldn't dampen this one!In full: First time at this event, but what a corker. The beautiful North Downs makes for a fantastic course, the marshals were fantastic (yes, the manic marshal just below St Martha's was still cheering when we came through), aid stations well-stocked and plentiful and bless all those volunteers for standing out in what was at times pretty unpleasant weather. Lousy completion time for us, due to husband recovering from chicken pox, but now we have a good excuse to come back next year and beat our times! Great t-shirt, medal and mug as well. The tech shirts being sold are excellent value. Date of review: September 15, 2013
In short: Superb race that will get better as the venue developsIn full: This is a very good venue for a looped marathon. There are excellent on-site facilities and the course is interesting and will get better as the greenery develops. Very well organised, amazing medal and nice goody bag. Thoroughly recommended.Date of review: June 1, 2013
In short: A real Christmas Cracker!In full: First time at this event and definitely not the last! Really enjoyed the course, thought the support from the spectators was great, the mud was a challenge, but nothing good trail shoes couldn't cope with. Very well organised with a very nice medal and a nice goody bag. Date of review: December 23, 2012
In short: Such a disappointment, should be so much betterIn full: Can't believe that such a fabulous venue as Rutland Water was wasted. The weather was appalling, which no-one can control, but the main problem with this event was the feeling of being short-changed. For the price, it simply does not represent value for money. There are no toilets at the start line, I only occasionally spotted gels, nothing else in the way of food, terrible 'goody bag', terrible vest (why would I want to advertise Fat Feet, rather than the Rutland Water Marathon?)and the certificate was completely pointless.I really hope the organisers raise their game,it is hard to see that there are many repeat-entrants after this year. Date of review: November 5, 2012
In short: Please do it again next year!In full: My husband and I both ran this. We had no idea what to expect and having never been to Yarmouth before, our expectations were low. We loved it! It was the first time in my 22 marathons, his 10, that we have run the whole distance together, as neither of us were on peak form and were aiming to 'get round' rather than 'PB' and we had a great time looking at all the attractions, watching the other runners, deciding which burger stall we were going to afterwards etc. The docks area was challenging mentally, similar to the power station stage at Brighton, but helped by the marshall with the loud sound-system at the end. As everyone else has said, the marshalls were brilliant - how they kept cheerful in such awful weather, I don't know. Thanks, GYRR, for a great event.Date of review: October 23, 2012
In short: Very very tough eventIn full: This was unquestionably the hardest event I have ever done. I think we were very lucky that the weather was good on the day and in the run up to the event, otherwise the terrain would have been even harder - can't imagine how difficult The Beast would have been after 6 laps of runners churning it up. I ache in muscles I never knew I had. The scenery is lovely and the event was very well organised. Not sure I would do it again, I don't mind multi-lap events, but the field that started the lap became a bit tedious after a few laps. Great goody bag and the t-shirt was brilliant. Nice idea to get everyone to wear them for the race in return for a donation to the RNLI, the only trouble was that it then became difficult to recognise your friends at a distance with everyone wearing black.Date of review: September 24, 2012
In short: Interesting first half, dull second halfIn full: This is the second time I have entered this event. It is very well organised, marshalled and provisioned. The supply of water and gels is among the most generous you will find in any event. The downside to the event is the course. The first half is undulating, but goes through some interesting places. The second half, while being flat, unfortunately is a bit dull and this makes it difficult mentally, as not only are you trying to fight fatigue, you are also fighting boredom. Not much the organisers can do about that, after all, that's the geography of the area, but it does make a difference to the overall enjoyment of the event. Date of review: September 3, 2012

Road damage by overweight trucks
To the editor:
The Brown County Board would like to remind everyone who drives a truck on Brown County roads of the damage that overweight trucks cause and why these roads are restricted, particularly in the spring. A legally loaded truck causes the same damage to the road as several thousand cars. An overloaded truck causes much more damage than a legally loaded truck.
Road construction is based on many engineering factors. A road is built with soil from the surrounding area. A gravel base is placed on top of the soil followed by a bituminous surface on top of the gravel. The thickness of the gravel and bituminous surface, type of soil the road is built from as well as the amount of traffic on the road, especially trucks, determines the strength of the road. The strength rating of a road is based on standard weights of vehicles such as an 80,000 pound five-axle tractor trailer truck. Ten-ton per axle loads are allowed to run on non-posted roads. Trucks carrying loads larger than 10 tons per axle cause extra damage to the road surface and thus wear it out sooner. In the spring when the top part of the road is thawed out and soft while the bottom of the road is still frozen, the road surface is weak. The road surface needs to be protected at this time by posting the road to a lesser legal load. Overweight trucks cause the most damage at this time of the year.
Brown County is struggling to maintain its roads with the current funding available. The cost of road construction and maintenance has increased 200-300 percent over the last 10 years while funding has increased only about 20 percent. Normal wear from traffic including legally loaded trucks is wearing out our roads faster than we can maintain them with the current funding. Overloaded trucks just speed up this deterioration of our highway system. Without the funds to maintain the roads from normal wear, Brown County wants to prevent the unnecessary wear and cost from overweight trucks by reminding people not to load trucks with more than the legal load.

DaSpot Chicken Sandwich
Recipe courtesy of Aaron McCargo Jr.
- Big Daddy's House
- Canola oil, for frying
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (3 to 4-pound) store-bought rotisserie chicken
- 1/4 cup diced red pepper
- 1/4 cup diced green pepper
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 jalapeno seeded and diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon granulated chicken bouillon
- Pinch cayenne
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
- Chipotle Mayo, recipe follows
- 1 pint store-bought tabbouleh salad
- 4 to 6 Portuguese rolls, split
- Breading:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs, in shallow dish
- Chipotle Mayo, recipe follows
- Chipotle Mayo:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 chipotle peppers, minced
- Pinch kosher salt
- Pinch cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
Preheat a deep-fryer with canola oil to 350 degrees F.
Pick the chicken from the bones and add to a large bowl. Set aside.
In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the peppers, onions, jalapenos, and garlic and cook until slightly caramelized. Stir in the bouillon and cayenne and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Place pepper and onion mixture, picked chicken, egg and bread crumbs into a food processor and pulse until well incorporated and slightly chunky. Form chicken mixture into burger-size patties. Put the flour into a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Put the eggs and bread crumbs into separate shallow dishes. Bread the patties by dredging into the seasoned flour, then the eggs and finally through the bread crumbs. Transfer to a platter.
Fry the patties until crispy and golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread Chipotle Mayo on both sides of the Portuguese rolls. Add the chicken patties to the bottom of the rolls and top with a good spoonful of tabbouleh. Cover with the roll tops and serve.
In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients until well incorporated. Cover and put in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Meaty Choices
When it comes to mealtime, few foods are as sacrosanct as meat. But anyway you slice them, the wrong choices have health and environmental repercussions.
A generation or two ago, if you were serving up a juicy steak or plump chicken for dinner, there was a good chance it came from an animal raised by a local farmer whose livestock roamed on idyllic acreage, stuffing themselves as nature intended. But with the proliferation of mega meat factories where animals are pumped full of drugs and cheap, genetically modified grain, eating too much meat may not only be bad for your health, it has serious environmental impacts. Excessive concentrations of livestock sets up a scenario for land degradation, polluted waterways, sky-high carbon emissions and poor animal welfare.
Yet, runners should not lose their appetites as meat provides muscle-mending protein, energizing iron and other nutrients that bolster performance and recovery. The key is to understand the issues and make smarter choices. Here's how to score the best meat for your body and the planet.


text: Pipers' Bats Erupt For First Baseball WinIn the first 23 innings of the season, Hamline managed just three runs. In the span of nine batters, they doubled that total. The Pipers used that big third inning outburst to defeat Bethany Lutheran, 11-2, to win their first game of 2012 in the finale of a Wednesday night doubleheader at the Metrodome. Hamline is 1-3 overall and gave head coach Jason Verdugo his 199th career victory. It was a 1-1 game when HU erupted in the third inning. 11 batters came to the plate in all with Ben Richardson and Cory Miller contributing two RBI singles. In the 4th inning, the Vikings scored once but Andy King, who had singled and doubled earlier in the game, replied quickly with the first Hamline homer of the season, an arching drive to left center field. Two walks, a hit batter, a fielder's choice and a Ryan Hackel RBI single produced three more rune before the inning ended. Rob Miller allowed only a pair of unearned runs in his 3.2 inning start. Tim Kohlmann (1-0), who replaced Miller and went 1.1 scoreless innings of relief, earned the victory. Rannon Arch and Dan Ellefson also worked scoreless innings of relief. It quickly blotted out the memory of a 4-1 loss in the first game. In the opener, the Pipers didn't get a runner on base until Dan Ellefson led off the sixth inning with an infield single. Miller was hit by a pitch and both runners moved up a base on a grounder but could get no farther. In the 7th, Radmacher and King chased BLC starter Aaron Siefken with back-to-back singles to open the inning. An error loaded the bases with nobody out. Ellefson plated one run with a deep sacrifice fly. Miller then walked to reload the bases. But Hackel bounced out to end the game. Matt Eickman (0-1), who pitched the first four innings, took the loss. Hamline returns to action next Monday, Feb. 27 at the Metrodome when they face Wisconsin-Stout in a doubleheader. The first game will begin at 9:45 p.m. Game 1 Box Score Game 2 Box Score

I'm starting to drink tea in a cup, like so many Chinese people do. This means putting some leaves in a (tall) glass and adding water, leaving the leaves in the glass while driniking and adding more hot water when needed.
I haven't got the transition from teapot to cup yet. Putting the same amount as in a teapot (eg. kyusu) yields a way too strong brew for the first minutes the leaves are steeping. So I'm putting less and less leaves. I went to the other extreme and simply didn't put enough, resulting in a tea without much taste.
I'm currently trying with taiping houkui. I'd tend to think that not all teas could be drunk in such a way, but then maybe all kinds are suitable, depending on the amount of leaves perhaps.
Anyone drinking teas from cups in such a way here ? Any advice ? Thanks.

Welcome to Vision Lab - University of Antwerp
imec - Vision Lab
The Vision Lab is a research lab of the Department of Physics of the University of Antwerp. Vision Lab's main research area is the development of novel image reconstruction, processing and analysis methods, which are applied in the domain of Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Shape modelling, and Remote Sensing. Since its foundation in 1992, about 20 PhD's have been defended and 7 spin-off companies have been founded. Latest spin-off: IcoMetrix.
Tomography is an imaging technique in which a 3D image of an object or patient is reconstructed from a series of 2D projection images. At the Vision Lab, novel reconstruction methods for tomography are developed and applied on all scales and imaging modalities, ranging from electron microsocopy, preclinical research, and medical research to industrial CT.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used to visualize detailed internal structures. In the Vision Lab, the processing and analysis of anatomical, functional and diffusion-weighted MRI data is being studied. Topics of research include the development of techniques for image denoising, image reconstruction, statistical data modeling, parameter estimation, higher order diffusion modeling and fiber tractography.
Shape Modeling
Shape Modeling targets the description of the shape variation present in a population of scans with so called 'statistical shape models'. A major challenge in building shape models is finding correspondences between the scans. At the Vision Lab, correspondence methods based on surface parameterization and surface registration are researched. Next to the fundamental research, Vision Lab also focuses on applying shape models for improving fit and function of products that are worn close to or in the human body..
Remote Sensing
Remote Sensing is the research area in which earth's surface is studied, usually using the reflectance spectrum of the sun. Vision Lab has built expertise in the processing and analysis of multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing images. Topics of research include the development of techniques for image denoising, restoration, fusion, segmentation, classification and spectral unmixing. Main application domains are vegetation monitoring for which we collaborate with the Teleprocessing group of VITO (Flemish Institute for Technological Research).

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (405 votes).
In short: Very nice race. Brilliant medal. rubish goody bagIn full: Relatively Local to us so good start for my second and my wifes first 10k race. We stayed for thee weekend so didnt encouter the traffic issues others have suffered (but this is why we stayed the weekend) Course was fine with an excellent finish past the cathedral and into the castle although quite congested in places which did affect my time. that said the race village was great medal is fantastic but i do agree the goody bag is pretty pointless. Would of liked a t shirt or at least the oppourtunity to purchase one. Will definatley be back next year to beat our times.Date of review: May 24, 2013
In short: Nice race. Difficult for PB due to many runners. Atmosphere is fantastic. Watering stations was rubish. Not well organised.Date of review: May 5, 2013
In short: Great atmosphere plus good afternnon out in Lincoln afterwardsDate of review: April 15, 2013
In short: A great flat course with amazing support all the way round.In full: Apart from the goody bag at the end and the car park being miles away this is a really great day out- loads and loads of support, fantastic atmosphere. Definitely doing this one next year. Date of review: April 14, 2013
In short: A certain PB courseIn full: I did this because i wanted a fast 10k after being stuck on around 43-45 for a few years. This is a flat course except the uphill drag on the way to the castle on the second lap when it seems a long drag, but i was tired by that stage. The cobbles were not the best surface to finish on though. At the end of the day i was pleased i did this as i got my pb down to 40:38 from 43:18, and i can`t wait to return in the futureDate of review: April 14, 2013
In short: Great local raceIn full: I didn't see any organisational faults, though I heard of some; great crowds, few marshalls (though the ones I saw were great!). I hate the course, but accept it's fair enough, and having taken 2 mins off my PB I can't really complain!Date of review: April 9, 2013
In short: Great race, just one or two nigglesIn full: Third timer and persuaded two relatives to run with me. Excellent organisation, very supportive atmosphere. Lovely medal but pointless goody bag. What happened to the motivating aerobic warm up that I enjoyed in the last two years?Date of review: April 8, 2013
In short: Good course but watch the cobbles!In full: Years of lack of investment means the transport infrastructure around Lincoln is woeful. We were stuck in traffic on the A15 and I thought I was going to miss the start of the race. Quite a nice flat-ish course, lots of support, spectators line just about all of the 10kms. The cobbles at the end are a nightmare, I was glad the weather was good, can't imagine what they would be like in the rain. Got to say the bit at the end was confusing, could have done with some signs after the finish to direct you into the Runners Village and the baggage reclaim.Date of review: April 8, 2013
In short: Great start to my running career - 1st 10kIn full: This was my first official run so I was a little nervous about what to expect.Overall, really enjoyed it. Good parking, well signposted, nicely organised, a nice friendly feel, lots of other runners and welcomung for my family who came to watch.The starting was a tad late but no major hassle and they mixed up the quick and slower runners. The course is nice a flat so I hammer my PB and whilst the course is mainly residential, it finishes at the castle, which is nice - apart from the cobbles. Goody bag and medal were a bit poor though.Overall a fantastic introduction to racing and with a top 25% finish, happy with my performance. The weather helped a lot though, which was just perfect.Date of review: April 8, 2013
In short: Good PB potential and magnificent support from the people of LincolnIn full: Great race with good organisation and loads of support from the locals. For next year, please can we have a well-marked walking route back to the car park (I wasn't the only one to get lost in the residential estate) in addition to the shuttle bus, and some sort of energy hit in the goody bag at the end please!Date of review: April 7, 2013

Imagined Conversations Between Kate Middleton and Prince William
After years together, you and he are familiar with each other's anatomy, but a little verbal reminder of what pushes you over the edge is helpful from time to time. "Exploring new touches and sensations can make sex seem like an exciting discovery the two of you are making together," says Vanessa Marin, a San Francisco-based sex and relationship therapist, of why Kevin, 38, loves hearing these words.
"My fiancée doesn't normally swear, but when she lets go in bed, it's such a turn-on," says Luke, 32. Shy? Dirty talk doesn't need to be dirty. Simply narrating the action by noting where his hand—or something else—is and how good it feels is plenty, explains Emily Morse, a sex expert and host of the podcast Sex With Emily. "This helps keeps you both in the moment."

In other words, we have one group that wants airplanes to be faster, carry more, and have a high dispatch rate, and another group that wants the airplane to be cheap, slow, and carry one or two people. An extreme view might be that when the dust settles, no airplanes exist between a Cirrus and a Sport Cub. Well, nothing except for 172s used for training.
The driving force is obviously cold hard cash. As things get more expensive, credit becomes tighter, and a family's income increasingly is dedicated to survival–do the haves and have nots move into TBMs and LSAs, respectively? Or, has it always been this way? Those who believe the middle class in this country is going away probably also think our industry is changing to reflect the split scenario.

quote TMTOMH_ProductionsHate to break it to you but some of this (most of it) is EXTREMELY game breaking/unlikely to happen/unrealistic/odd as tentacle hentai/a mixture thereof. However I must give you props on the electric deflection shield.The ability to purchase Tokens.
The ability to purchase Seraph Crystals.
Golden Key drops in battle.
Shield that deflects 100% of Electric attacks and sends the bolt back to the attacker.
Legendary Loot locations on Echo Map.
EMP device to use against overwhelming Robots.
1 Boss that, when defeated, will drop nothing but Legendary Items/Weapons. Boss will be VERY difficult to defeat but will also Level Up your character no matter how many XP points you have.
Tiny Tina as a playable character. Her main Skill.....MASSIVE Nuclear, Nova Explosions. When she attacks with it, she is covered with a force field that protects her.
Health and Shield regeneration at the same time.
Unlimited Grenades.
Ability to combine weapons and shields. (Shield's Capacity upgraded/overpowered by the weapon's Damage).
Weapon with all Elemental Effects: Corrosive, Electric, Explosion, Fire.
New Character who follows your character around and regenerates health and shield at "Fight For Your Life" mode. (only available after a certain level).
A new Bee Shield which, upon depletion, releases a swarm of Bees that when damaged by gunfire, releases yet another swarm of Bees that have their own shields, ironically named "Bee" shields, that are able to withstand any attack and allow the bees to Level Up to become Wasps and Hornets which attack your character making you regret ever picking up the Bee Shield in the first place.
New Playable Character: The Clone. His special Skill is the ability to clone himself into 5 clones which have all weapons and shields your character has, but more powerful and longer lasting, making it easier to defeat the really difficult enemies.
quote MagicI strongly believe that the Hyperion Moonbase will no doubt have some sort of involvement with the next game; given the fact that it was so highly anticipated for some sort of DLC release.
Hammerlock should be a playable character or an exclusive DLC Character. I have no idea why I'd like to see that happen that, but I just think Hammerlock is *bleep*ing awesome.
quote METROIDKILLER12Well, it would probably involveYou know i see what you're all saying about the skin buff idea so then what bout the story who has any ideas on that?
quote KommandoZer0 just seems so fragile though. I understand his melee potential, but you really have to go out of your way to make it effective, and once you have done that, there can be no room for error. Krieg is safer when it comes to melee, and he is easier to gear for it. I'm just saying I prefer playing Zer0 as a sniper rather than a fragile berserker. Also, Krieg can use Rapier as well; since it only affects melee damage you take, usually Krieg can OHKO anything with his melee + Rapier before they can touch him.quote Ulti99994. Basically Zer0?
no, Zer0 is melee or long range.
Less than 3 feet and over 100 feet respectively.
By semi-long range, I mean 60-80 feet
By semi-mid range, I mean to 20-40 feet
Basically 70% or 90% accuracy weapon range.quote Ulti9999Melee Zer0s have several advantages over melee Kriegs. The 4 main ones being the invisibility, short cooldown, the fact that zer0 can use the Rapier when using Decepti0n for triple damage, and the fact that BAR adds roid damage AFTER multipliers instead of before like Zer0,They should have taken all that pathetic melee and put a larger focus on his long range capabilities.. Compared to Krieg Zer0 is just pathetic melee-wise
Krieg has his advantages in melee combat, but endgame zer0 outclasses him with the right build.

Everything is a go for Saturday. Started the doughs already (and did a caputo dough for some pizzas too). There's a rumor that some friends from BBQ Guru may show up with one of their new cookers. I'm dying to make a pizza in it. They say it will easily hold 2 pizza stones and 900 F temps and above aren't a problem. We may have a new candidate for a superior home pizza oven. Oh, it runs on lump charcoal and at 225 they say it will run 60 hours on one load of charcoal.Anyway, we'll have plenty of samples and I look forward to meeting some of you
Hey all - sorry to drag out a skeleton for the closet, but in trying to find the best way to BGE my pizzas - I found this mention about a different cooker in the post here - but didn't see any other mention about it in the thread. Anyone know what kind of cooker is being mentioned here?

Korpiklaani -- Joliet, IL -- September 1st, 2012
When I walked into the venue, I was met with possibly one of the most chaotic sites that I've ever seen: like 20-25 people in the pit just whacking the shit out of each other with foam pool noodles. I can't even explain how ridiculous it was. This was for this local band called Lords of the Drunken Pirate Crew or something to that effect. They weren't that good musically, but I'll be damned if their live show wasn't fun as hell! They played music somewhat similar to Swashbuckle, had a drum machine and a hot chick playing guitar/accordion.
Anyway, after them came Metsatoll who I'd never really listened to too much, but have heard the name thrown around here and there. They played an especially folky brand of folk metal and were really fun to watch. Their bagpipe/flute/whatever-the-hell-else player had one of the deepest voices I've ever heard.
Tyr came on next and were probably the band I was most looking forward to seeing and while they were really, really good, I couldn't help but be disappointed because they didn't play my favorite song (Regin Smidur) which I would most definitely rank in my top 50 songs ever. Their set was also pretty heavy on their new album, which is alright, but I would have preferred more diversity among their releases. They didn't even play anything off of Eric the Red! I got their set (and the other two band's sets) from setlist.fm and it (and the other two) look correct to the best of my knowledge.
1. Flames of the Free
2. Shadow of the Swastika
3. Hall of Freedom
4. Sinklars Vísa
5. Tróndur Í Gøtu
6. Evening Star
7. Hold the Heathen Hammer High
8. By the Sword in My Hand
9. The Lay of Thrym
Moonsorrow came on after some ominous music was playing while they were setting up. Moonsorrow live can pretty much be summed up as: holy fuck! They just blew me away. I wasn't sure that the epicness of the music would translate live, but it fucking did and then some! I was also pleased that they got a really decent set length. I was expecting some 45 minute/3 song bullshit. Also, I didn't really expect people to really mosh for them, but they probably had the craziest pit of the night.
1. Tähdetön
2. Kivenkantaja
3. Kylan Paassa
4. Sankaritarina
5. Kuolleiden Maa
Korpiklaani gets mad respect (dawg) in my book for playing Eläkeläiset (a Finnish humppa band that plays covers of popular songs...check 'em out) while they set up. In my opinion, it's never been fair for Korpiklaani either time I've seen them because they always have to follow such amazing bands (Arkona and Moonsorrow), so I am always underwhelmed by them. That being said, they still put on a fun show. The set list was real heavy on the new album, so much so that I didn't recognize that many songs. Speaking of the new album, they wanted $20 for it...fuck that! All the merch was pretty expensive. When they came out for the encores, Jonne asked what we wanted to hear and appeased the person screaming for Wooden Pints and then concluded with the instrumental Pellonpekko. Anyway, here's the set list:
1. Tuonelan tuvilla
2. Ievan polkka
3. Juodaan viinaa (Hector cover)
4. Langetus
5. Vaarinpolkka
6. Lonkkaluut
7. Metsälle
8. Viima
9. Vodka
10. Rauta
11. Happy Little Boozer
12. Tequila
13. Beer Beer
14. Wooden Pints
15. Pellonpekko
1/22 Artificial Brain ?
1/27 Koffin Kats ?
2/10 Marduk
2/14 Death Angel ?
2/17 Overkill
2/18 Deterioration
2/23 Immolation ?
Kick ass! Bummer on a majority of songs being new, but oh well, it should still be a drunken good time! Cannot wait... THIS SATURDAY!!!
Dalla Nebbia
Funeral Age
This is utterly ridiculous and totally awesome.
Jaco died for our sins so that modern bass players could be free to play more and be heard.

Mariucci, Izzo good works help support area
In an era in which the sports pages sometimes seem to be a police blotter, Steve Mariucci and Tom Izzo are a fantastic breath of fresh air.
The two Iron Mountain natives are genuinely nice men who have not forgotten from whence they came, despite achieving great success in their careers.
They proved that again this week through their involvement in the fundraising events for Beacon House here in Marquette. Both are graduates of Northern Michigan University who shone on the football field (Mariucci) and basketball court (Izzo) while in Marquette and treat the community like it's home.
The Mariucci Family Foundation's 2013 Celebrity Golf Classic included events Wednesday and Thursday at the Marquette Golf Club. Mariucci – the former coach of the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions – was the host for the activities as well as the chief recruiter of well-known names to take part in the links action.
Right by his side for the fundraiser was Izzo, who led the Michigan State University men's basketball team to a national title.
The lifelong friends brought style and enthusiasm to the proceedings, which were designed to raise money for Beacon House, which offers a place to stay to patients from far away who are in Marquette for medical treatment along with their caregivers and other loved ones.
Beacon House makes a difficult time easier for families, making it a most worthwhile cause indeed.
Through Mariucci and Izzo's invites, celebrities like NFL kicker Jay Feely, former NHL goalie Marty Turco, former Detroit Lion Lem Barney and former Green Bay Packers Mike McCoy and George Koonce ventured to Marquette to play some golf for the cause.
Wednesday night, despite a wicked thunderstorm, guests enjoyed the Match Party to pair local participants with their new celebrity friends.
Celebrities also boosted the efforts by donating items for the silent auction, which helped bring even more funds to the Beacon House coffers.
We thank Mariucci and Izzo not only for returning to Marquette to help keep the Beacon House going strong, we salute them for being all-around wonderful people in an era in which criminals seem to be invading the world of sports.

"So they were giving out free Dr. Peppers…" is the only info we get with this shot of the poor lad and lass standing around New York city wearing "I ❤ DP" t-shirts. Oh rly? Have you told your parents this?
For those not in on the funny, dp is short for double penetration. The Copy Wanker strikes again.
You are so funny! Great post :)
Make 7
Up Yours
I want one of these shirts. This is brilliant.
"Milton Glaser on line one..."
That's even better than the picture of my cousin as a tot, in his diaper, with a beer and a pipe.
OK. Maybe not.
Guess what, DP knows this...
welcome to guerilla/viral marketing suckers.
Her, what about the guy?
This is very much in the vein of "Make 7 ---- Up yours". The question is, does she?
No, it's not like the 7 up yours. That was a commercial where everyone understood, except the guy wearing the shirt. Here, half the internet population understands but your regular ma & pa think they're talking about Dr Pepper.
You just made me check the urban dictionary for what "Seven Up" means.
I hate you.
If anyone needs me, I'll be in the corner drinking whatever soda that doesn't mean something dirty.
Raises hand. Had to look up "Seven Up". Not what I thought.
This is the second new thing I learned today. Since this topic needs cleaned up, here is a product that should help, Jizzle from The Whitest Kids U'Know
You are welcome ;-)
Nope. The Jizzle is great (per the video) if Spunk gets all over the table (see: image in above post).
I'm a Pepper Pervert!
Did anyone bother to notice that DP stands for Des Plains. It's the name of some small mid western town. It has zilch to do with Dr. Pepper. you would know this if you actually clicked through the website. So you are all just a bunch of misinformed closet wankers. Me, I'm gonna go watch some porn. Hipster crap pieces.
I also enjoy Donkey Punching while Double Penetrating a Delicious Pastry.

Fall and winter pastimes
With the change in the weather I become involved in different pastimes. Now on Saturdays and Sundays I enjoy the football games.
Although I enjoy watching football I cannot just sit and watch so the knitting projects come out as well. I can easily follow my pattern and still know what is going on during the game.
I really enjoy watching college football the best. It seems like the competition is different. Last Saturday I could not find a decent game to watch. It was not because I did not like the teams, the games were just too lopsided. One team was way out ahead of the other so it was not interesting at all.
The professional games were nail biters this week. If you did not hang in there until the end you could not be sure who won.
During the fall and winter I always have a couple knitting projects going. If I am in a spot where the piece is cumbersome to carry around, I take the other project with me to my volunteer station. I do not like hauling big projects or projects that require a lot of counting with me. It is too easy to get lost and not keep the pattern when you take the project up and put it down while you help people.
Another thing that I do when it is not so nice outdoors is puzzles. I like the crossword puzzles the best but I do other word puzzles as well. I have also gotten interested in some computer games. I play some of the familiar board games on line because I can play them against robots. It keeps my mind sharp, but I do not have to go anyplace.
I have always been good at entertaining myself. Our lifestyle on the farm necessitated that. My husband left early in the morning sometimes not to return until after evening chores. Of course in those days I had plenty of chores to do around here. It was a challenge to keep the house clean, cook meals, and keep up with the canning and mending.
Mending was a chore that I really disliked. I let those piles of work pants pile up until my husband and children had none to wear to the barn. Even then I disciplined myself by saying that I could not begin a sewing project until the mending was cleaned up.
I had a jar where I kept my "to do" projects. When I pulled out the paper that said mending I was not a happy camper. It would be a dull day or two before I could do anything else.
Mending seemed like a chore that did not accomplish much. Most of my mending chores involved putting patches on the knees of the barn pants. At that time my husband did not wear jeans. He wore the old style work pants. I will say that mending the regular work pants was a lot easier than mending jeans. Those double stitched seams were more difficult to handle.
Sometimes the snap would come out at the waist. If that happened I replaced it with a button and made a button hole. It was not easy, but it worked well. It rescued many pairs of pants that would otherwise have become useless.
Once my husband began wearing jeans I found that they lasted longer. That jeans material was more durable. It was a long time before he wore through the knees on those. Shirts were another story. He was always catching a piece of shirt on some barbed wire fence and tearing a hole here or there. I finally bought a new sewing machine that had a sleeve surface you could put into a sleeve to mend. That made mending shirts a whole lot easier.
Do people mend any more today? I am really not sure. I know people who cannot even sew a button on something if one falls off. Of course, they do not know how to hem things either. Sewing is a skill that pays dividends. When the children were small I made them many articles of clothing simply from scraps from other projects. I even made a yoyo bedspread for each of their small beds. The children loved matching up the pieces of cloth that they recognized from my various sewing projects. Once the small beds were gone I put the two spreads together and added more yoyos to make a spread for my daughter's bed.
Then, there is reading. I love to curl up with a good book on a cold dark day and read. I must admit that I do not read as fast as my granddaughter, but I can finish a book in a little more than a day if I get really interested in it. I read mostly for recreation. I am not into deep material. I did enough of that in the days when I was studying for various exams. Light reading that is fun is what I like. Am I wasting my time? I do not think that way. It is very satisfying and keeps me from feeling sad or depressed.
I am preparing for those dark days of winter by contributing to my yarn stash and by finding books that I hope to read. Even during the bad weather I get out and about. I go to lunch with friends and go shopping. I visit the library. I also go to my volunteer stations. I have said it before and I will say it again, volunteering is good medicine. It often does more for the person giving of his/her time than for the person receiving the service.

If he continues to develop the off speed and he stays healthy he's headed for big things. We often lament missing on 1st round picks and those clearly need to be better, but credit where it's due mining the depths for guys like Allen.
And yes, Barnes is still just 25 despite coming here in a Garko trade years ago. He still has a future and a chance too.

Good job, George Martin II!!!
Yeah, not bad indeed...it turned more lively I think. Why don't you did this to the entire song?? I'd want to hear George's faster guitar solo.
Who's the acoustic guitarist on "Little Lamb Dragonfly"?? Nice job!!
I did "zap" the entire song, but cut it to make it a small download for you
Yeah it was MEEEEEEEE playing the guitars on Little Lamb Dragonfly I play EVERYTHING on that recording. I burned the master to a cd and can't find it...maybe I'll have to download that mp3 myself again in case I never find my master copy again Thank you for the kind comment. I think the playing on the Wings version is very pretty, so I decided to double-track my own guitars so it has its own 'prettyness'.

Card, Lincoln Rise to Occasion for Hofstra
by Corey McLaughlin | LaxMagazine.com | Game Blog Replay
Hofstra attackman Jay Card gauges his next move Saturday during a five-goal performance against Harvard. The fifth-ranked Pride prevailed, 15-9.
© Joe Rogate
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. -- Playing most of the game without midfielder Steve Serling, one of the main threats in Hofstra's high-flying offense, the fifth-ranked Pride improved to 4-0 with a 15-9 win over visiting Harvard Saturday afternoon at Shuart Stadium on Long Island.
Canadians Jamie Lincoln and Jay Card each had six points. Lincoln scored five goals, including three in the first quarter, Card added a hat trick with three assists and Stephen Bentz also had three assists. Hofstra used a 4-0 second-quarter run to take a 9-6 lead at halftime. And four different players scored in a 5-2 third quarter to put the game away. Ian Braddish, a transfer from North Carolina, added two goals.
Serling, the Pride's biggest offseason transfer -- from Lafayette and the 2010 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year -- started as usual and took two shots, but left the game in the first half with an undisclosed injury and was not on the sideline during the second half. Coach Seth Tierney said after the game he was uncertain on Serling's status.
"I was going to ask you that, because I don't really know," Tierney said when asked about Serling, who led the Pride with nine points coming into Saturday. "We have to wait and see. We were just told [by the trainers] that we have to hold him for right now. We got into a flow without him. We just went with that for right now. As soon as I find something out, I'll let you know, but right now I think he's probably with the trainers."
Serling redshirted at Lafayette in 2009 because of a lacerated spleen, but it's unclear if this injury is related or if he went to this hospital. Tierney said he hoped to have the midfielder back soon. No additional information was immediately available.
"We'll see what Stevie's situation is," Tierney said. "Hopefully we'll get him back soon, and we're going to continue to work on the depth of our team."
The depth showed. Nine players were involved in the scoring. Sophomore Aaron Jones saw significant time at midfield and Braddish played a key role. Freshman Torin Varn scored his first career goal on a wraparound during Hofstra's third quarter run. Varn, coming off an ankle injury, provided midfield depth.
Lincoln, Card and Bentz put together several impressive goals, maybe the most on a crisp 3-on-1 fastbreak off a Harvard turnover. Lincoln fired a shot past Crimson goalie Harry Krieger from about 8 yards inside the right hash off a Card pass. Krieger had multiple angles to defend as Bentz was also open on the crease. Hofstra scored 15 goals on 31 shots.
"We've been trying to work on being unselfish," Card said. "Making one more pass for an easy goal to layup. Today we were successful in doing that."
Said Lincoln: "I got great looks, getting great passes from everyone like every other weekend."
But Tierney said there is still room for improvement in general. While riding in an elevator inside the Hofstra athletics building after his postgame press conference Tierney let out a sigh while staring down at the game's stat sheet.
"I'm certainly thrilled that we won today," he said earlier. "I thought the guys played hard, I don't think we played well. I think those are two different words. At times I thought we were sloppy. ... The one stat that is staring at me as I'm talking is we have more turnovers [18 to Harvard's 11] than we should. That has to be cleaned up. You have to play smart and clean. That is something we have to take care of."
Harvard, which falls to 1-1, took 49 shots, 18 in the fourth quarter. Tierney said Pride goaltender Andrew Gvozden "started to get locked in toward the second half." He finished with 15 saves. Harvard's Krieger had five saves and only two at halftime.
There was a scary moment on the field with 5:34 left before halftime. Harvard starting freshman defenseman John Rose was near midfield trying to control a loose ball when Card hit him high and hard in a scrum between several players.
Rose lay flat on his back near the 40-yard line in the Harvard zone for about 15 seconds before moving his arms. He sat upright under supervision of a Harvard official then attempted to run toward the Crimson bench, but fell forward to the turf before he got there. He was helped up and examined on the Harvard bench and appeared responsive.
He was taken inside the Hofstra athletics building via golf cart at halftime and walked in under his own power. He later was carted toward the locker room during the third quarter, sitting upright on the back of the cart.
Harvard coach Chris Wojcik declined to make himself available to the media after the game. A Hofstra official said Rose was not taken to the hospital, but released under the supervision of his parents, who were in attendance. Rose is from nearby Locust Valley on Long Island. His father is a doctor.
Card was issued a two-minute unreleaseable penalty for an illegal body check.
"It happened pretty fast," Card said. "I saw a defender carry the ball back in the zone and I was just trying to finish my hit, trying to drop my shoulder in his chest. I hit him pretty hard, and I hope he's all right. I was just trying to finish my check, and that was it. Just trying to do my job."
His main job was to create offense. Quite a few did that. Kevin Ford added a goal and two assists from the midfield.
"It's the deepest team that I've coached here," Tierney said. "It's certainly a pleasure to have that, but you also gotta be able to keep everybody happy because you've got some talented players. We try to spread it around a little bit, and I'm glad that we had a bunch of scorers."
Notes and quotes: Harvard features nine Long Islanders on its roster who played high school ball not far from the Hofstra campus, including starting attackmen Dean Gibbons (Garden City) and Jeff Cohen (Syosset). Cohen had two goals and Gibbons was limited to one score. Gibbons was mainly covered by Hofstra close defenseman Mike Skudin. ... Harvard defenseman Brad Cappellini (Manhasset) left the game in the third quarter with an apparent knee injury. ... Hofstra is 4-0 for the first time since 1997 ... John Antoniades won 13 of 25 faceoffs for Hofstra mainly against Andrew Parchman. ... Bentz led the Pride with six ground balls, including a scoop near the sideline that led directly to a Card pass to Braddish for a goal that put Hofstra up 10-6 with 12:13 left in the third quarter. ... The announced attendance was 2,753.

|Ryan Doherty, right, attacks against Canada's Maverick Hatch on July 23 in Long Beach, Calif.
B.J. Hoeptner Evans, Manager, Communications, Phone: (719) 228-6800, E-Mail: email@example.com
USAV Facebook - @USA_Volleyball - @USAV Beach
LONG BEACH, Calif. (July 23, 2013) – The U.S. team of Todd Rogers and Ryan Doherty opened pool play in the FIVB Beach Volleyball Long Beach Grand Slam on Tuesday with a 25-23, 21-13 victory over Maverick Hatch and Christian Redmann of Canada.
It was a relatively easy win for Rogers (Santa Barbara, Calif.) and Doherty (Toms River, N.J.), seeded No. 11 in Long Beach, and those have been hard to come by for the new team this season.
"I can't say that I'm stoked about the way I've played," Doherty said. "We've lost a lot of games in a lot of ways. But I definitely feel that I'm learning and I've picked up as much as I can from Todd and that's huge."
Rogers, 39, paired with Doherty, 29 and a 7-foot-1 former minor league pitcher who took up beach volleyball in 2008, at the beginning of 2013. Rogers' former partner, Phil Dalhausser (Ormond Beach, Fla.), with whom he won the gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games, had announced that he would be playing with Sean Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.).
Doherty and Rogers opened the season with a second-place finish at the NORCECA Beach Volleyball Circuit event in Grand Cayman. Since then, Doherty and Rogers' best finish in an FIVB event has been 17th, which they have reached five times, most recently at the FIVB Grand Slam in Gstaad, Switzerland.
Nevertheless, both Rogers and Doherty said they had a breakthrough in Gstaad when they defeated the Italian duo of Paolo Nicolai and Daniele Lupo in pool play and finished first in their pool.
"That was probably the biggest win of my international career so far," Doherty said. "What went right is that I actually passed the ball so that Todd could set it and that really helps.
"That's something that Todd didn't cover until the middle of the season for some reason," Doherty added with a grin.
Nicolai and Lupo were the team that defeated Rogers and Dalhausser in the first round of elimination at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
"It was nice to get a little revenge against them," Rogers agreed. "That was our biggest win internationally this year.
"I think the last two weeks have been a bit of a breakthrough. Ryan's passing is really coming along… That's a big help for him because once he's up at the net with a good pass, good set and everything in front of him, it's going to be tough to stop him."
Rogers and Doherty will get another shot at Nicolai and Lupo, seeded No. 6 in Long Beach, in their third pool play match on Thursday after playing Italy's No. 27 Gianluca Casadei and Paolo Ficosecco on Wednesday.
Wednesday's match is another that Rogers and Doherty probably should win, but for now they are just having fun trying.
"Getting to play one professional sport was a dream come true," Doherty said. "Finding this and getting to play this, I'm definitely the luckiest guy I know."
Rogers added, "Someone ought to kick you in the teeth if you say you're not having fun."

Web team meeting to look at the progress of the new Forest website. For those interested in web development (html/css/Drupal), content management systems in general (website software that does nifty things out-of-the-box), online promotion, etc, and that want to get involved in the new site.
I'll do an intro talk on what features it has and use the feedback from this to improve things. I'll also be looking or volunteers to help fill the site with the content from the old one plus new Forest related events and info.
The new site is @ http://theforest.org.uk/drupal5
Feedback and suggestions will be appreciated in this thread. There are a number of wee things I'd like to change, the first being to get the news/blog entries appearing in full on the front page. The theme will be changing and more content is to come.

I know some of you know this but for those who don't 6in1's are the freshest tomato taste you can get. If there's a brand better I haven't had it. I don't think canned tomatoes can get any better.
How much do you think it'd cost me to ship you a can?
Yahooooo!!! The 6-in-1 Brand Tomatoes have arrived!! A million thanks to Steve and his wife . Looks like they took awhile clearing Customs.
Yes!I've tried every brand of canned tomato that the stores around me carry. Tried all of the domestic brands and imported brands. Even ordered several genuine San Marzano tomatoes (certified genuine, etc.) and none compare with the 6 in 1.
I've been eating crushed tomatoes from Pomi - parmalat for years as pasta sauce. Outstanding. Not for pizza though - IMHO.

Topic: Paperclip stores files with wrong permissions
I have just deployed my very first rails app on my own Ubuntu server. Everything works fine, except for one thing. When I upload an image (implemented using paperclip) this goes fine. However, the uploaded images are not shown on the pages.
I've checked the /public/system/pictures folder and noticed that all files and folders created by paperclip have the wrong file permissions: drwx------ ruby ruby. When I do chmod 755 they are loaded correctly.
The rest of the rails application is also owned by the ruby user and group. I have tried adding the www-data user to the ruby group (which was suggested by another topic on this forum) but this didn't work.
Any ideas?

Adirondack Museum wins federal grant
BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE – The Adirondack Museum is one of 244 museums across the nation to receive a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which recently announced nearly $30 million in awards.
The museum will receive $98,264 through the IMLS Museums for America program for a two-part project that will involve conducting a conservation study of its collections and facilities and then developing the museum's first-ever long-range preservation plan. The project will begin Tues., Oct. 1 and continue through December 2014.
Museum Executive Director David M. Kahn traveled to Washington, D.C., on Sept. 18, to be recognized for the award in a ceremony on Capitol Hill, with opening remarks given by U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko, who represents the Albany, Troy, Schenectady, Amsterdam, and Saratoga Springs areas. U.S. Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh, who represents most of the North Country, was also invited to attend.
"We recognize three valuable roles museums have in their communities." said IMLS Director Susan Hildreth, who will also lead at workshop for awardees at the event. "They put the learner at the center, are community anchors, and serve as stewards of cultural and scientific collections. It is exciting to see the many ways our newly announced grants further these important museum roles. I congratulate the slate of 2013 museum grant recipients for planning projects that advance innovation in museum practice, lifelong learning, and community engagement."
"Our collections are critical to the Adirondacks because they document the complex interaction between people and the ecosystem here over time," Kahn said. "They're important for telling the story of how that interaction has shaped-and continues to shape-the nature of our work, recreation, community, home life, and creative imagination here in the Park. That's why we need to make sure they're conserved well for the future."
The award the museum received was one of 152 made from 470 applications received by the IMLS Museums for America program-less than one-third of the applications submitted were funded.

Number of Required Coins

Current Finest Possible Set Rating
: 67.688
View Set Composition
( Shop )
Morgan Silver Dollars are among the most popular of all United States coins – they're big, they're silver, and they're visually impressive (especially in top condition). That doesn't mean this short, 28 coin set won't be a real challenge. The goal is to get one coin from each date in the finest possible condition. The weighting for this date set is completely different than for full sets of circulation strikes and proof Morgan Dollars. Here, the playing field is as level as it could possibly be. Premiums are given to those dates that are tough to find in high grade (such as any of the 1895's, for example), but no premiums are given for rare date/mintmark combinations, Prooflikes, or DMPL's. This set gives you (and your coins) a chance to truly shine!

Hills, Hollows, and Honeycomb Rock
On a rolling countryside with grassy ridges and wooded hollow, farmers till neatly around bowl-shaped depressions. Layers of limestone crop out where pasture sinks into a hole.
Streams spring out of the ground, meander along awhile, then dip underground again. The water runs clear in dry weather but swirls with much when it rains.
Sinkholes appear where soil has been slipping down cracks in the bedrock below. The hollowed-out crevices often turn into caves and subsurface channels, growing larger every time rainwater or melting snow surges through them.
No wonder there are few surface streams. Rainfall and snowmelt disappear down sinkholes and flow through underground passages. So pollution from surface or near-surface sources, such as septic systems, may drain into the groundwater that supplies private wells.
In rural areas, there are no sanitary sewers. Each household has a septic system to handle human waste, and most have a private well to supply drinking water.
But is the water good to drink?

Ray Ryan doesn't like needles. He doesn't like the sight of blood either. Yet he recently donated his 200th pint of blood – 25 gallons – to the American Red Cross.
"I knew there was a need," the Blair, Neb., resident said. Ryan first gave blood in the Navy while stationed in Honolulu in 1965. He waited about five years to donate a second time but has been giving steadily ever since. "The Red Cross is always looking for donors," he said. "The need is year round."
Ryan gives blood about every eight weeks. Now that he's reached the 200-pint milestone, he plans to donate every three months. "Once the stick is over, I've got it made," Ryan said. "It's a thing of doing for others."
When you give blood, a few easy steps can help ensure your body is ready to give the gift of life. Click here for tips for a good blood donation.
To help speed up the blood donation process for busy donors and reduce the number of donors temporarily deferred during their mini-physical, the Red Cross introduced a new, more accurate blood-iron measurement tool last year called HemoCue.
In one year, HemoCue has not only shortened blood donation times for donors, it has decreased donor deferrals due to low blood iron counts. This means more people are able to donate blood and help save lives.
HemoCue is just one of the ways the Red Cross is working to ensure you are healthy enough to donate and to speed up your donation time.
If you have been previously deferred from giving blood due to low iron levels, we want you know that a temporary deferral is just that – temporary. Learn more about iron and see if your diet includes enough iron-rich food on our website. And don't forget to make an appointment to donate blood again soon.

Best inning ever: Even sports veteran has never seen anything like it
More than 30 years of coaching football, basketball and baseball at every level from seventh grade to high school varsity has conditioned me to take nothing for certain and expect almost anything. But none of those experiences — which have included great upsets, go-for-broke wins, disheartening defeats and chilling victories — prepared me for what occurred Saturday morning at Rose Mofford Complex in Phoenix. There, the never-say-die Lady Longhorns dangled from the ropes one inning from elimination as they trailed Mingus 7-0 — with just three outs left.

2012 CPBC Youth Camp
2012 CP Badminton Youth Camp with London Olympians
August 17- 19, 2012 at CP Badminton Club, College Point, NY
The 3-day CP Badminton Youth Camp with 2012 London Olympians is finally concluded. All 50 participants (42 juniors and 8 adults) received their certificates of completion signed by the Olympians Marc Zwiebler, Michael Fuchs, Howard Bach and Tony Gunawan. With the flashlights popping like lightning from every corner of the gym and video cameras focusing on so many smiling faces, all kids lined up waiting for their photo opportunities with their favorite coaches before saying bon voyage.
Mr. Glenn Statins was pleased that his son John had the opportunity to learn from the Olympians and came out from the camp a better player.
"I want Howard Bach and Tony Gunawan to coach me again next year. Please promise me, I will come again," said the little 8 year old, Andrew Zhang, the youngest of all the campers.
The 2012 CPBC Youth Camp surely was a memorable one. The camp opened with Howard Bach showing all the participants the proper stretching exercises. After the initial evaluation by the coaches, the participants were divided into 6 groups based on their age, ability and skill levels.
Marc Zwiebler demonstrated the basic foot works and various net shots, accompanied by Michael Fuchs explaining each step in detail.
The most eye-opening demonstration was Tony Gunawan showing his superb defensive skills by returning the powerful smash from Howard Bach.
The challenging drills started after the coaches' demonstration. All participants tried to perfect their shots and keep up with their footwork as the coaches continued feeding the shuttles.
Perhaps, the most exciting event for all the kids was the 'One-on-One Challenge' session. Four of the NER Elite Juniors Cayen Clayton, Brianna Wang, Raymond Chen and Nicholas Waller were all determined to take down the Olympian coaches during the one on one full court encounter. Of course many tried, but none were successful.
Some were wondering what was Coach Tony Gunawan doing with a group of eight 'over-aged' kids in CP Youth Camp. The initial idea came from Mr. Raymond Chow, "I'm glad that my daughter Zoe has this wonderful opportunity to join the camp. I never had such a chance when I grew up." He said, "How about taking me and my wife too? It seems too great an opportunity to pass up." I hesitated for a moment, "Youth camp with adults? That sounds weird!" Fiction or real …… standing tall in CP Court #1, the two fearless old warriors, Lin Vance, a die-hard badminton enthusiast from CP, mother of 2 children and next to her, Mirei Kato, with racket in her right hand, a bottle of Gatorade in the other hand and towel around her neck, perhaps a few Advil® or Tylenol® later at night, finally prevailed with the rain of shuttles fired by Tony Gunawan in the doubles rotational drill.
Though physically exhausted, their spirits were uplifted, and another legendary story is forever remembered in the history of CPBC.
The courts were cleared, and the lights were finally off at CP Badminton Club. The Tournament Committee considered this a job well done, yet there is a big promise to be fulfilled for little Andrew next year.
