Arts advocate says the arts are a linchpin of urban development
The Columbus Dispatch - April 30, 2014 11:15 AM
Robert L. Lynch, president and CEO of Americans for the Arts, has more
than 38 years of experience in the arts industry – more than can fit into any one talk or
Tom Katzenmeyr, president of the Greater Columbus Arts Council, will guide a conversation with Lynch at 7 p.m. tonight (Wednesday April 30) at the Cultural Arts Center, 139 W. Main St.
Lynch, 64, also will take part in a discussion at noon Thursday (May 1) in the center's weekly "Conversations & Coffee" series.
"Lynch is the preeminent arts leader and advocate in the United States and we are delighted to have the opportunity to show him Columbus' vibrant and growing arts scene," Katzenmeyer said.
"His vision of the arts aligns with ours—that arts and culture are inherently valuable to a community's quality of life and economic prosperity."
The council and the center are sponsoring Lynch's visit Wednesday through Friday to Columbus because of his expertise as the leader for many years of Americans for the Arts, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. that seeks to advance the arts and arts education.
Here are more questions and answers with Lynch, who had more to say than could fit into my interview with him that ran in Tuesday's Life & Arts section.
Q What's the biggest issue you'll address in Columbus?
A I'll be talking about a combination of the jobs and economic value of the arts in America, and the broader connections and transformative value of the arts in America.
Robert L. Lynch, president and CEO of Americans for the Arts
Q The Greater Columbus Arts Council and Experience Columbus, the city's
visitors bureau, have forged partnerships to to promote the arts as a key part of what makes the
city attractive to tourists. How common is that pattern around the country?
A Thirty years ago, it's something that happened almost not at all, but over the past couple of decades, (such groups) have been connecting more. Now it's very much part of the tourism agenda and arts agenda.
We in the arts still need to do a better job pointing out where art is at play as a destination.
Q The arts helped fuel the growth of the Short North, which has become
nationally recognized as a prime example of neighborhood transformation. Now it's starting to
happen in Franklinton. How much is that happening elsewhere?
A I see it both by design, through a city's community plan with cultural districts and investments, and I also see it organically happening when artists, arts groups, galleries and theaters come into a particular community to set up shop. Then the cafes and other types of stores follow.
Q Columbus is starting to receive more national press and appearing on
more top lists as a "foodie" city or for its fashion design. When you travel around the country, do
you hear any buzz about us?
A People who have been there think it's a good place to live. The combination of services and arts amenities also give it a reputation as a good place for businesses. I don't hear as much about it being a huge tourist destination. Most cities are talking about themselves as good tourist destinations, so I wouldn't necessarily hear elsewhere about Columbus.
Q With one of the largest populations of college students in the
country Columbus is struggling to keep more talent here after graduation. How can the arts help
retain young adults?
A The arts help a lot, but a lot of cities are trying to overcome this exact brain-drain phenomenon. Des Moines, Iowa, and other cities have seen the need to put in cultural and social amenities; the corporate headquarters want young folk to stay, work and have a life there.
But you have to invest in amenities that young people want – such as an after-hours cocktail event that allows young people to socialize at an art museum. But they also want not just to enjoy themselves but meet people of other ages meet leaders for upward mobility. That kind of connectivity becomes very important.
Q Arts education, for children and teen-agers, is facing greater limits
of time and money in the schools. What do you foresee as the long-term consequences of such
limits? And does arts education pay any measurable long-term dividends in terms of making a
city more desirable to live and to visit?
A The number-one thing that business in America says it wants is creativity in the 21st-century worker. Not math skills, not verbal skills, but creativity. The number-one thing that superintendents of schools say creates creativity is arts in the schools. So investment in the arts has a big payoff for the kinds of workers that businesses want and need.
A second payoff is that art becomes a tool that keeps people in schools. It helps kids after school who have trouble or are at risk to get in trouble or run-ins with the law. When they have arts in an after-school program, there's less of that.
One of the problems, from a national study done a few years ago by the Department of Education on the availability of education, shows that kids in richer areas are getting arts education and kids in poorer areas are not. That compelled Arne Duncan (the federal education secretary) to say arts education in America has become a civil-rights issue.
Q You played in a rock band in high school, and later in a soul band in
the Boston area and an Irish band in Amherst, Mass. What does music and the arts mean personally to
A That was a wonderful part of my life, but music wasn't going to be my career. I wasn't good enough. But every day, I use music and the arts to gather my thoughts. And every night I come home and play something on the piano and guitar. It's a combination of relaxation and introspection, a way to process the day.
And since 1978, at our annual (Americans for the Arts) conference, there's been a jam session one night where people come together to play music. I always participate in that. It's wonderful to connect with other people through the arts.
Robert A. Lynch will speak at 7 p.m. Wednesday April 30 and noon Thursday May 1 at the Cultural Arts Center, 139 W. Main St.
Admission is free, but seating is limited. Reservations are required at www.culturalartscenteronline.org

I explained all this in the last game thread, I know you saw it. His last game was clear proof he was completely back against Detroit. He went toe to toe with the best pitcher in baseball and put 5 straight zeroes on the board after some pretty weak runs against him and bad defense. He's gone 8 straight games giving up 4 runs or less. The team is 5-2 in his last 7 starts. I said at the time of the Ubaldo trade that you could look at some peripheral stats and state he wasn't as good as even Carmona this year. Ubaldo was a shiny toy though and still is. Carmona's the better pitcher this year though (it's only my opinion, just my opinion me stating that, just an opinion, just an opinion, I have some evidence to back it up, but just an opinion, you can feel Jimenez is better this year too). Since June 20th, he's been a really good pitcher. His ERA has dropped EVERY SINGLE GAME since the Colorado misadventure on June 20th.
Yup, I know that I saw it too. And I said ...Sometimes the onus is on Fausto for crappy pitching. Sometimes the problem is a total lack of defense backing him or Tribe offense not showing. But he hasn't been winning. On the other hand Fausto IS averaging one win a month. Tonight just MIGHT be his night!
So far I'm not liking what I'm hearing when Ubaldo pitches...* Since June 20th six of Carmona's last eight games (75%) have been quality starts.
I refuse to get into circle arguments. Besides, I kinda predicted a win tonight. I complained that his losses were as much the problem of poor defense behind him or sucky offense by his teammates. You're right, hasn't given up five or more runs since June 20th. And I'm right for saying that for whatever reason poor Fausto hasn't won more than one game a month.

NRG: Send message of support
State Sen. Catharine Young wants you to help one more time.
NRG Energy Inc. is considering converting its coal-burning plant into natural gas to not only power our region but other parts of the Northeast. To do so, the Public Service Commission must approve the plan for a $500 million investment by the company at the Dunkirk location.
"It is imperative to let state officials know how critical this repowering project is to our region's future," Young said last week. "Therefore, I am asking you to send letters as soon as possible to the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) and Gov. (Andrew) Cuomo indicating your support of this project and asking for their approval. The PSC will be making a decision in the near future on whether repowering the NRG Dunkirk plant will be allowed. I urge you to write individual letters as soon as possible to Governor Cuomo and to the PSC Chairman Garry Brown.
"Your letters should make it clear to the governor and the PSC that our communities are very supportive of the Dunkirk power plant upgrades and want to have a repowered plant in the community. They also should indicate that you think the PSC analysis should take into consideration a broader economic benefits analysis as a significant factor in its final determination."
To send your letter visit this Web site: documents.dps.ny.gov/public/Comments/PublicComments.aspx?MatterCaseNo=12-E-0577.
Or you can send a letter to these individuals:
Hon. Andrew M. Cuomo, governor, New York State, Executive Chamber, NYS Capitol, Albany, NY, 12224
Chairman Garry A. Brown & Acting Secretary Jeffrey Cohen, NYS Public Service Commission, Agency Bldg. 3, Empire State Plaza, Albany, NY 12223
The case number is 12-E-0577.
The sooner the letters are sent, the better as the important process is nearing an end.

—Professor Ellen van Wolde, an Old Testament scholar at Radboud University in The Netherlands. She claims the first sentence of Genesis is not an accurate translation of the Hebrew verb "bara" in the context of the Bible and other creation stories from Mesopatamia.
Translations of the Bible are debated and challenged all the time. In the case of the Creation story in Genesis, it's often about the tense of the verb "create" and God's role in the process that's up for grabs. In a previous post, I compared three versions:
First, the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible:
In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth,
And from Fox's The Five Books of Moses:
At the beginning of God's creating of the heavens and the earth,
And now from the Tanakh:
When God began to create heaven and earth—
She says that the "bara" should not be translated as "to create" but "to spatially separate." The impact of such a statement challenges the very notion that God created something out of nothing — and that humankind's understanding of the story has been wrong for thousands of years.

Local Businesses Take on Big-Box Retailers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Black Friday kicks off the holiday-shopping season for big-box retailers, but independent stores are trying to take some wind out of their sales.
American Express' (AXP) Small Business Saturday campaign, designated as the Saturday after Thanksgiving, is contributing to a much-needed boost to the small-business economy. American Express situated the day smack in the middle of Black Friday and Cyber Monday to encourage consumers to "shop small."
Now in its third year, the movement is gaining steam. And Small Business Saturday isn't just a marketing initiative. More than 200 advocacy groups, 60 public officials and 70 corporate partners have signed on to endorse the campaign, according to the Shop Small website. (Not surprisingly, there are no big-box retailers supporting their smaller counterparts.)
"Small Business Saturday is not about American Express. We are giving them the tools to market themselves and the tools to create the day and really make it a local event in their community," says Mary Ann Fitzmaurice Reilly, senior vice president at American Express OPEN , its small-business resource center.
American Express provides free tools and promotional material for all small businesses to incorporate in their marketing. Last year Facebook (FB) joined the movement by partnering with AmEx to offer free advertising to small businesses to promote their products and services. The tools also allow businesses to incorporate a Twitter "Follow" button for their websites, create YouTube videos and Facebook pages and design a customized website through Yola.
An estimated 103 million Americans shopped at independently owned businesses during last year's Small Business Saturday, ahead of the forecasted 89 million, including President Obama, who took his daughters on a shopping trip to an independent bookstore a few blocks from the White House.
AmEx saw a 23% increase in American Express card transactions at small-business merchants on Small Business Saturday.
"Year one was about establishing the day -- putting it on the map. Year two was about creating greater awareness of the day and making it a part of the holiday shopping weekend. Year three is about getting small businesses to own the day and make it their own," Fitzmaurice Reilly says.
The company hasn't released its projections on how many consumers it expects to shop small this year. According to the inaugural Small Business Saturday Insights Survey, conducted by the National Federation of Independent Business and American Express, 46% of independent merchants plan to incorporate Small Business Saturday into their holiday season marketing plans.
The survey polled 500 owners/managers of retail establishments with physical storefronts, kiosks, and restaurants, bars and pubs that are not part of a franchise and had fewer than 100 employees (the vast majority having fewer than five employees).
Eighty percent of those who plan to incorporate the campaign into marketing materials expect a year-over-year sales boost on that day, the survey found.

Big Gulps 2 was our more traditional selection for Brownies and Porn last weekend, and it universally got the "fail" rating. General consensus: unless you're really, really, really, really into nothing but POV blow jobs with no real money shots, you'll probably find this lame and boring.
In my opinion, if something is called "Big Gulps," there should be some gulping going on. Most of the come shots didn't even have any come, or at best just a dribble. What, did they shoot this after all the real porn orgy scenes were done for the day with the dregs that were left over? Sheesh! Show me the money!
Universally, the room of about 10 people all hated when the girls looked at the camera and when they spit on the cock. Why, oh, why do these conventions persist?
A few things we did like:
- The man in the second clip (with Marquetta) was a bit more controlling; he'd slap the back of her head and force her to gag on his cock a bit. The audience was divided on the choking sounds (some liked, some didn't), but we all liked his taking charge, giving the scene a bit more of a power dynamic.
- Vanilla Sky in the fourth clip. She came across as a real girl, not yet bleached blond, even showing a bit of fat and cellulite, with fake but not ginormous boobs. Truly, her best selling point is her sincerity; she seems to be new enough to the industry to enjoy it—she doesn't give head like a porn star but with genuine interest. Plus, it helped that he would grab her head and slap her boobs around!
- Mika in the sixth clip, a cute Asian with an interesting around-the-world technique and a strong, two-fingered kung-fu grip. And she's not adverse to a little penis-beating on the face, which some folks liked.
More we didn't like:
- The cheap Wal-Mart lingerie
- The standard floor crawl for every girl
- Looking at the camera
- Spitting
- Guys wearing gym shoes with socks

Skip to comments.Moviegoers tweet desire to kill white people after seeing 'Django Unchained'
Posted on 01/07/2013 12:21:31 PM PST by blueyon
After seeing the new Quentin Tarantino movie "Django Unchained," a number of moviegoers issued violent and racist tweets expressing a desire to kill white people, Twitchy reported Sunday.
"Seeing Django reignited my desire to kill white people," said "Flex."
The tweet had been deleted, but many more were available.
"After watching Django, all I wanna do is shoot white people," another person said.
"We need a modern dy django to kill some white people (sic)," tweeted another
(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
Ray Charles could have seen this coming.
but TV and Hollyweird and advertisement have no effect on people, right?
Some Freepers think works of art like this have no affect on peoples behavior.
Just exactly what is the storyline on that movie?
When I saw Vanishing Point all I wanted to do is race my engine in my Pinto when I left the theater........
>> Well I still will stand up and say calling for the killing of anyone is NEVER OK in my book.
That's not exactly true. I haven't seen Django yet, but I have seen Inglorious Basterds. It was a violent bloodlust revenge flick against the Nazis ... who had it coming. There was certainly no outcry about that one. My understanding is that this is similar, just with slaveholders rather than Nazis.
Revenge flicks are a solid sub-genre ... and, to be honest, I like most of them. Taken, Man on Fire, Death Wish, Dirty Harry, Harry Brown, the last 8-hours of 24, etc.
The problem isn't the movie. Its cultural. There is a lot of misdirected hatred out there, particularly from liberals.
Edited for accuracy
With schools and prime time TV and movies encouraging kids into sex and drugs and crap, I guess racial violence was the next step.
These folks have apparently forgotten that they comprise around 12 to 15% of the total population. They also ignore the fact that white people are armed and disposed to DEFEND tbemselves with those firearms now flying out of the gun shows and shops here.
And ANOTHER THING:
The fact is that the modern descendants of slaves brought here in chains in admittedly miserable, soul-gutting conditions now calling for reparations need to remember something:
They should not only be glad to be in America, they should be glad to be ANYWHERE!
Had their ancestors NOT been brought OUT of Africa many by Muslim slave raiders —the blood of those ancestors would have run into the earth over there several centuries ago, victims of the OTHER black tribes that captured them in one of the interminable tribal conflicts STILL ravaging that sad continent and these modern day would-be "plaintiffs" would not even exist.
And I would remind you that slavery is STILL practiced in parts of Africa (mainly by American BLACK muslims LISTEN UP!! — MUSLIMS) and Asia today. How ironic that disgruntled American blacks are embracing a system that participated mightily in their initial bondage and would, if Islam takes root here, probably put any who cling to their Christianity back INTO BONDAGE or to the sword. In fact, as the majority of muslims consider black folks as sub-human, many of you black muzzies will get the axe.
95% of the African slaves who were transported across the Atlantic went to South and Central America, mainly to Portuguese, Spanish and French possessions, and that less than 5% of the slaves who crossed the Atlantic went to the United States, it was remarkable that the vast majority of academic research, films, books and articles concerning the slave trade concentrated only on the American involvement, as though slavery was a uniquely American aberration.
And should the great-great-great grandchildren of SLAVE OWNING BLACKS also be subject to PAYING these reparations? If so, how do we find THEM?
And I have traced MY family back to the SLAVS. Although the term looks to be related to slave, depending on your source, it either means glory or worshipper. But my family research indicates that many of my of my ancestors LIVED lives of virtual slavery to some despot or other. Do I qualify for reparations? From whom?? And it begs a question: Are most of us now living here headed into a modern form of that servitude? But thats a topic for another discussion.
The official US Census of 1830 lists 3,775 free blacks who owned 12,740 black slaves. Furthermore, the story outlines the history of slavery here, and the first slave owner, the Father of American slavery, was Mr. Anthony Johnson, of Northampton, Virginia. His slave was John Casor, the first slave for life. Both were black Africans. The story is very readable, and outlines cases of free black women owning their husbands, free black parents selling their children into slavery to white owners, and absentee free black slave owners, who leased their slaves to plantation owners.
-"Selling Poor Steven", American Heritage Magazine, Feb/Mar 1993 (Vol. 441) p 90
Of course, a full telling of Black History would not be complete without a recitation of the origin of slavery in the Virginia colony:
Virginia, Guide to The Old Dominion, WPA Writers' Program, Oxford University Press, NY, 1940, p. 378
A few more salient points on the subject:
Until the US declared independence, the Colonies were REQUIRED by the King of England to embrace slavery.
The Northwest Ordinance (1789) prohibited slavery in federal territories.
A law prohibiting the importation of slaves into the US became effective in 1808.
Beginning in 1820, the Democratic Congress started passing laws allowing and encouraging slavery.
It was only after the Republican Party (many of whom were southern Blacks) was formed some 40 years later that the anti-slavery movement was able to move forward.
And the holier-than-thou Northern liberals are strangely silent on recent archeological evidence from NEW YORK CITY clearly tracing the financing of the slave trade to NORTHERN BUSINESSMEN!!
At the height of his remarkable boxing career, Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Clay), once declared, Im glad my great-grandpa got on that boat.
And speaking of ancestors, my paternal grandmothers daddy joined with the 80th Ohio Volunteer Infantry early in the War Between the States (re-upped twice) and fought on the Union side at Chickamauga, Vicksburg, Jackson then joined up with Sherman for that infamous march to the sea through Georgia. My wifes great grandpappy ALSO fought for the Union. While I revere the memory of my ancestors, inasmuch as that conflict was less about slavery than it was the economic exploitation and abuse of the South by the North, I fear they MAY have been on the wrong side.
Author Robert Hitt Neill tells of attending a Tennessee Mountain Writers Conference years ago with several other authors. Among them was Alex Hailey, celebrated author of Roots. Watching a TV news show, a group of them watched a demonstration in a Southern state against the Rebel flag incorporated into that states flag. The very next report covered a famine in Africa. Graphic images showed dead bodies, starving children with distended tummies and runny noses and dying people covered with flies, too weak to brush them away.
Mr. Hailey intoned in a low, serious voice, Every time an American black sees a story like that, they should find a Confederate flag and kiss it. He then pointed to the TV screen and continued, Because these would be me and my descendants, except for American slavery. I thank God that my family and I are here instead of there.
Next problem!

I think its similar to Inglorious Basterds ... which was a revenge flick wherein Jewish soldiers hunted, tortured, killed and scalped Nazis, and eventually assassinated Hitler.
My understanding is that this has a similar theme ... freed slave looking for his wife and taking revenge on slaveholders. Haven't seen it, though, so I could be wrong.
So sick and sad...where is the OUTCRY from the left against this.
The outcry will be when they and their family members are included in the murders. They will be shocked that they will be included in that humber because they are WHITE - no sympathy for the bleeding heart liberals.
They're too busy getting orgasms from "nappy headed hos" and "sluts" and Donovan McNabb references to deal with this.
and last year Spielberg's Lincoln = Obama.
That was crystal clear to me when I saw the film (which I regret seeing but from a pure movie point of view it was interesting) but people who I shared this with told me I was nuts.
When I saw Vanishing Point all I wanted to do is race my engine in my Pinto when I left the theater........
I've wanted a 69 Charger every since I saw that movie!
I bet if the same movie was released in 1975 as a spahgetti/schlock western for 100K with no-named actors blowing away no-name euro-actors and twice the amount of n-words in the script, no one would have raised an eyebrow on either side. You can say that for pretty much all of his movies. The same movie is released in 2012 with a modern a-movie budget, modern special effects, famous idiot actors, and modern 24 hour mass media and its a big deal on all sides. I suppose its good for publicity, if nothing else.
Blacks are too busy killin' each other to get to whitey.
In before the inevitable post, "It's just a movie. Don't go to see it, or just turn the channel" comment.
Uh, huh.
Corporations spend billions and billions of dollars on make believe advertising because it has absolutely no effect.
Did they really cut out the scenes of the queer and amish lynchin's ? I heard they did
And to think, Cleavon Little was in both Vanishing Point and Blazing Saddles. The movie that would set the USA on fire if it was released today.
Actually, its probably inevitable; its just what was needed to reactivate their innate genocide gene.
Mariah Carey wrote the song "Hero" from this. She was a regular passenger on the LIRR.
Just another reason the Socialists in Sodom on the Potomac will not get my guns. We have a right to defend ourselves from the Obama NAACP-Black Panther hoodlums.
Programming the Brown Shirts to take it out on whitey when whitey runs out of money to pump up their EBT's
Can't have Martial Law gun confiscation without them. Everybody has a part to play in the NWO.
I'm gonna claim Limbaugh-style BS on these. Demonstrating absurdity by being absurd, IMO.
Feelin's mutual, Flex.
"Ive wanted a 69 Charger every since I saw that movie!"
I do believe it was a 1970 Challenger in the movie. Almost bought one way back when for $1500, but I rejected it because it was purple with a white vinyl top...
(kicking myself repeatedly)
My understanding is that this has a similar theme ... freed slave looking for his wife and taking revenge on slaveholders. Havent seen it, though, so I could be wrong.
And Kill Bill, as well as Death Proof. Revenge movies are a genre that Tarantino seems to specialize in.
I'd like to see some concrete evidence that all these tweets aren't just a bunch of moviegoers spoofing Jamie Foxx's rather silly comment about getting to kill white people.
Let me correct myself before the haters jump in:
"Ive wanted a 69 Charger every since I saw that movie!"
I meant to say 69 challenger.
Let me correct myself before the haters jump in:
"Ive wanted a 69 Charger every since I saw that movie!"
I meant to say 69 challenger.
I don't think smash mouth blacks would ultimately enjoy a real game of cowboys and racists.
I didn't get the feeling those commenters were bright enough to spoof anything. I have little doubt that they're degenerates. For it, they have a solid chance of dying in prison. But, I blame them ... not Django.
Haven't seen Kill Bill. Didn't much care for Death Proof, though.
"Moviegoers tweet desire to kill white people after seeing 'Django Unchained' "
1. if a white person said this, Al Sharpton would be on every major news channel screaming for "justice."
2. interesting how violence is prevalent in the movie, yet Hollywood claims it is not responsible for our societal trend to violence.
3. used to like Jamie Foxx's and Leonardo di Caprio's movies, but not any more. Jamie Foxx is the same one who proclaimed Obummer as their lord and savior. He's on a quick path to hades...
But! They will not turn in their guns, because they never registered them.................., or will be issued new ones when Zero starts his purge.
This is by intent.
I meant to say 69 challenger.
That's almost as bad as a lose/loose grammatical error.
To the animals who tweeted this stuff: Bring it on! We's ready fo' y'all.
After I was the movie... I tried to get my then blonde girl friend to ride a motorcycle naked... And I believe the car was a Challenger...With that awesome pistol grip shifter...
If it was released in 1975 it would have been a "Blacksploitation" flick.
Yet, Communists in Hollywood deny that there movies ever lead to violence. Yeah. Sure.
Dozens of innocent whites will be murdered by vengeful blacks as a direct result of this movie. Just wait. But the Corrupt Liberal Media will sanitize any racial motives, bury the stories and refuse to connect the dots.
There were 14 whites murdered in the month of May, 2012 alone in the USA after the media frenzy over the Trayvon Martin story created a National Lynch Mob to get George Zimmerman.
When I see posts such as yours I wish we had a like button around here! :)
I had a Pinto, it was my first new car. That car really sucked...it was also my last American made car.
And when is senator dianne frankenswine from californistan going to push for a bill to ban violent films?
Oh yeah, never.

John,I don't know if you saw the PMQ Think Tank thread on the All Trumps bromated versus unbromated issue at http://thinktank.pmq.com/viewtopic.php?p=78733#p78733 but Tom Lehmann weighs in on that topic in that thread. I thought somewhere that I had read that Tom indicated that a bromated flour didn't require as long a mix as the unbromated version. However I could not find any post where he said that. But, in the same thread, the member AFS, who made a switch from the bromated All Trumps to the unbromated version said that he had to increase the mix time. Also, scott123 indicated that a bromated high-gluten flour does not need as much knead time as an unbromated high-gluten flour, at Reply 1032 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,9908.msg162683/topicseen.html#msg162683. If all of this is true, then a truer test of the two versions of the All Trumps flour might call for a shorter knead time for the bromated All Trumps than for the unbromated All Trumps.You might also note from Tom's PMQTT post at http://thinktank.pmq.com/viewtopic.php?p=30723#p30723 that he sees merit in the bromated All Trumps when the cold fermentation time goes beyond three days.Peter
John,In the photos, can you tell us which pizza was made with the bromated flour and which was made with the unbromated flour?Peter
Excellent work as always John. Could you please put up a crumb shot of this experimental cracker. Also, did you laminate/bookfold this or just shoot it straight on through your sheeter? Baked right after sheeting? Thanks.
This is incredibly informative, John. Well done.
Bob,Our workflow is as follows:Mix the doughLet the dough rise (about 80 to 90 minutes)Sheet the dough (we laminate ours) and cut out skinsStack the skins and refrigerateThe following cracker was rolled on Friday, so this is 96 hours old. Under normal circumstances it would be hard to get a skin this old to form a crust, and in most cases the oven tender would be constantly trying to find a hot spot in is oven to get some color. But, not this one.....this is another fantastic crust. And if you look very carefully at the crumb shot you will see the tiniest of pinholes which were created during the lamination process. I can't believe I even mean it, but maybe tomorrows pizza will be as good?The crumb shot is not of the pepperoni, green pepper and onion pizza, but of another experimental one we had tonight.John

Skip to comments.USDA chief: Rural America becoming less relevant
Posted on 12/08/2012 8:33:04 AM PST by KeyLargo
USDA chief: Rural America becoming less relevant
By MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has some harsh words for rural America: It's "becoming less and less relevant," he says.
A month after an election that Democrats won even as rural parts of the country voted overwhelmingly Republican, the former Democratic governor of Iowa told farm belt leaders this past week that he's frustrated with their internecine squabbles and says they need to be more strategic in picking their political fights.
(Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...
That's said until rural America cuts off the lights, fuel, food and so on.
Try us VilSACK.
Just go F yourself Tom,nobody in farm country respects your views.Why don't you keep your piehole closed for a while?
If you read the entire article he appears to be defending rural America.
As a resident of the Pittsburgh area, I apologize for this area producing this VilSACK of crap.
Nothing more than incitement to riot in my opinion. They won - through cheating is my guess. Yet they are full of piss and vinegar and bravado in their win. Let them have it.
I've checked out and am preparing for a world where polls, pundits, media and political poweratti don't matter any more.
I dunno, maybe you have a point but I trust anyone in the OBummer administration about as far as I can pick up and throw my Chevy Blazer.
Without a doubt he's a toady. But I found this comment interesting.
" It's the fact that rural America with a shrinking population is becoming less and less relevant to the politics of this country, and we had better recognize that and we better begin to reverse it."
He's a Dem and Obama put him where he is.Two strikes against him and then he starts talking....
Agenda 21 prefers that rural America become irrelevant.
Well, let's just park the tractors from coast to coast next spring and see how irrelevant farmers and ranchers are. Growers could simply reduce their operations by 50%, and when the price of food stuffs soars, could come out ahead financially because of the decreased overhead. That's the highly successful OPEC model that seems to be a-okay with governments all over the world.
Perhaps God will do the reduction in production. The Mid-West will not be out of its drought this year. Snow has been non-existent, and the winter wheat crop is already gone on the southern plains. The "Bread Basket of America" may yield only crumbs if this is a 5-7 year drought cycle.
Whuzza matter?
Do li da gun and bible pic?
Once the marxo muslim has his agenda, broken, desperate , hungry Americans will turn to the land more than ever before.... even if it is to emulate Africans and steal from the farmers.... raid, loot and kill.
If the looters come,we are ready.
People who know know thing about agriculture are now dictating how farmers grow and raise crops and livestock.
Hey Vilsak, wait til the economic collapse and then see how irrelevant the rural areas are. You moron!!
I don't know which is worse, their hubris or their stupidity!
Go away, Vilsack-in this rural community, the tourists ran off leaving empty summer homes and RV parks and lost jobs (and bankrupt businesses) all over the place. We are starting to live without depending on them-growing our own stuff and bartering, like country people did before. If they don't like what we stand for, let them learn to grow their own food, and we'll keep ours ...
"rural America: It's "becoming less and less relevant," he says. "
Which is why they mention us more and more.
Time to starve the beast that sits on a hill in DC? embargo their sorry arses.. amazing how they speak and nothing but ill words come forth.
"synthesize all our food out of soy beans"
He must have been inspired by reading about the "totalcakes" in Ira Levin's late 60's novel "This Perfect Day"-they came in a couple of flavors, and the accompanying soft drinks were called "cokes"...
The leftist/socialist/fascist democrats and DC lackeys know this, which is why the vilification/marginalization/isolation of middle America will begin in earnest. The quickest way to take over agricultural, manufacturing, and energy production is to usurp the existing population with a more compliant and beholden to the government workforce. They have that workforce now, 75% of them loyal to the people handing out the freebies, and have absolutely no loyalty to the people who have employed them in the past. If the government offers them more to run your farm or ranch or business than what you're paying them, you are as good as gone.
EXACTLY! Wasn't it Mao Tse Tung who said whoever controls the countryside will ultimately triumph? (For precisely the reasons you cited!)
"The mobs of great cities add just so much to the support of pure government, as sores do to the strength of the human body. It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution".
Thomas Jefferson
Just out of curiosity, where did this prof think the soybeans would come from? Was some guy named Jack going to climb the giant's beanstalk to get them?
An overload of phytoestrogens from soy will wreak havoc with the human body.
Also, soy requires more processing (and more this more agriculural industrial infrastructure) for those "natural" foods -- tofu, oil, "soymilk" etc.
You can get REAL milk and REAL meat from a cow -- no processing required!
Yes...this really is Obama's Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack. Amazing.
"I should point out, when you talk about the SNAP program or the food stamp program, you have to recognize that it's also an economic stimulus. Every dollar of SNAP benefits generates $1.84 in the economy in terms of economic activity. If people are able to buy a little more in the grocery store, someone has to stock it, package it, shelve it, process it, ship it. All of those are jobs. It's the most direct stimulus you can get in the economy during these tough times."
It's the Chicago way, back us and vote for us or you suffer big time. All that nice farmland you own will have to be sold when you die to pay the federal death taxes too. We have other folks who are reliable voters and need benefits to sit on their butts and smoke weed.
Malcolm Smith- the prior President of what was called Rhodesia—now called Zimbabwe was required to turn over his farm to the blacks in Zimbabwe this week by the government there.
President of Zimbabwe also called for complete nationalization of all businesses there which are foreign owned in any degree. "it is time for the locals and natives to run their own country without outside help".....
They have already turned the productive farms-—which once produced enough food to export millions of tons to other African countries-—into non-productive entities and now the country IMPORTS about 80% of it's food.
Death tax' a death sentence to family farms, businesses?
Those professors don't think a lot of things through far enough.
At which point, it is to be hoped your cousin asked this brain dead moron "Where are these soybeans to be used in the synthesis going to come from?"
the infowarrior
I can think of three times per day, that rural America is very relevant.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack can't.
LMAO! I didn't reference the soylent green because in the book I mentioned, the totalcakes were processed plant matter like soybeans, algae, etc, and only a small hidden elite class ate anything else, unless you escaped from the commie government-by boat, of course-to some islands to live-sort of like Castro's Cuba in reverse...
Their idea of reverse it and your idea of reverse it are two different things.
The shrinking population is becoming less relevant. That is by design.
0bama's 'bitter clingers' comment recognizes that there are already hold out against the progressive agenda.
Reversing it to a progressive means government farms as more and more 'bitter clingers' refuse to comply with the progressive program.
Food shortages ....?
Even if the population of the cities managed to get enough veggies, grain and meat for sustenance from captive blue states like California, living in the Tokyo-like crowded conditions, where no one has much contact with soil or live plants, breeds germs they will have no resistance or immunity to-it has already happened several times in recorded history, but apparently we are slow learners.
It is both mentally and physically unhealthy for humans to live in hives-we are not bees-but many people choose to ignore that because everything is so close and convenient.
The Industrial Revolution started with people abandoning rural pursuits and moving to cities where the factory jobs were. The reasons haven't changed much since then.
Today if you want to leave the city where'd you go? You need to own a property - a farm, a ranch - to live there. And if you live there you probably have to work the land too, or else what are you going to live on? Farms are not cheap; a usable farm may cost more than a restaurant in a city. Even ignoring the fact that city dwellers have no agricultural skills, they simply don't have the money - and if they suddenly get rich en masse then there aren't enough farms on the market for them all. Farms must have plenty of land, and all that land had been divided up a long time ago. They don't make new land these days.
Cities avoid this problem. They can generate more jobs (if they want to.) All kinds of jobs are available, not just pulling up on the stalks to help them grow faster. Housing is available to anyone who can pay (and some to those who can't.) As you say, it's a hive - but a hive is a pretty safe place to be at, for bees and for humans alike.
The population of rural areas cannot grow because it is limited by the size of available land. Mechanization of labor generates free hands (children of farmers) who must go to cities in search of work. Otherwise the family grows but the income from the fixed land does not. This means that the rural population is linked to the land size, and tends to shrink a bit over time because of mechanization, and because of loss of use of some old farms, and because of lack of water... all the growth is in the cities because hives are good at growth. Since that's where all the voters are, politicians cater to them and buy their votes left and right. Farmers' opinion does not matter in a democracy; and democracy is what we are supposed to have here. Democracies depend on honesty of the majority to not oppress the minority. But, as Zimbabwe demonstrates, the majority is not always honest and fair.
synthesize all our food out of soy beans
RACIST! Doesn't he know that a slang word for Mexican is "bean" or "beaner"?
Much of my family has been very small ranchers in south Texas for well over 200 years, or are otherwise self employed-mostly smalltime sub contractors, like me-nothing big or fancy, just enough to get by, but we like it.
The large-scale farming and ranching operations that feed the masses are south of the here, where the land is flatter and more fertile-but here, on less than an acre, you can grow enough to eat and barter, and there are grocery and general stores in rural communities-we may be rural, but we're not dumb-we know how to grab that weekend tourist fisherman looking for tackle and bait as well as stocking stoneground wholewheat flour and free-range meats for natural living nuts like me...
I live in a remote area, in spite of it being within 30 miles of SA. Enough usable property for food or livestock on a small scale here isn't nearly as expensive as a city restaurant-neither is a rural restaurant-city property is way more expensive, but here you do have to put up with a well for water, a septic system, unpaved roads, etc. But there is no giant city service bureaucracy, either-everything in life is a trade-out, after all.
There are plenty of places for sale cheap that belonged to city people who had no agricultural skills, but wanted to rough it-they usually last until the first big thunderstorm that floods the (steep) road so they can't get out, or the first cold winter where snow/ice makes the same road impassable for a few hours. Unfortunately, they have left quite a few empty summer cabins and homes, but at least they are gone.
I grew up on, and spent part of my adult life on a ranch-as you said, it isn't the place for anyone who has only lived in an urban/suburban environment.
Black men cannot run Africa..... and that is without dissent, and all black.... and they havenet had one success yet. Historically speaking, they have NEVER enjoyed civilization.
One might say the :great zimbabwe", but, I would speculate the apparent wealth, ideas and successes were probably founded on selling the neighboring tribe into slavery.
Today? They are still grounded in tribalism thus "still too close to the earth." Actually thats still being too polite. On their own, they are not farmers. Never have been.... Never really had to. Thus warring and raiding/ when it isnt raining, is what they are all about. The way tribes get ahead is just like the tibal mentality of Islam, you get ahead by raiding.
Like Obama is doing to America today.
Sarah Palin referred to the people who grow our food and fight our wars, but as we saw a month ago there just aren't enough of them (and the soldier thing applies to cities & suburbs as well).
General Franco won the war in Spain because the communist agitators in the cities weren't "hands-on" working people; the countryside (which supported Franco and the generals) starved them out in the end...
So who was going to "synthesize" the soy beans?

Morning All
I've booked the Hall for next Tuesday, 3rd May, between 1900 & 2100 for an election event, entitled "Meet Ken O'Neill -
A Q&A sessions with the new independent candidate for the Lothian region." You are of course all welcome to come along to hear what I believe in if you've not read my manifesto yet - http://ow.ly/4z4jv. As the title implies, there is also a Q&A session after the introduction where I will attempt to answer any and every RELEVANT question. ;-}
However, I could do with a favour. Is anybody around that evening to help me set up chairs in the Hall, sat from 1830 onwards? If you could do it without me that would help even more.
There are nine days of the campaign left so, once again, please tell anybody you know who is registered to vote about my campaign and where to find me - my website (http://lothiansken.wordpress.com), Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001943657013), Twitter (http://twitter.com/LothiansKen) & Formspring (http://www.formspring.me/LothiansKen).
Finally, thanks to everybody for their support to date, best wishes and encouragement, I really do appreciate it.
Oh, if you want you can the count (I love to count!) as one of my counting agents? That way you get to see the election at the coal face & see what goes on. Also, anybody want to come along for the announcement of who is elected at Ingliston?

The Many Reasons to Still Own Abbott Labs
As you may have heard, Abbott Laboratories (ABT) completed its promised spin-off of AbbVie (ABBV) , which is a drug maker built largely around a drug called Humira, a best-selling rheumatoid arthritis injection that produced $7.93 billion in revenue during 2011.
As an ABT shareholder, I received shares of ABBV on Wednesday and when the shares rose over $35 I decided to sell. My intention was that if past spin-offs are any template for how the price of ABBV shares will act, I fully anticipate being able to buy those shares back for less than I sold them.
In a recent Bloomberg News story I learned that ABBV will "...seek treatments for unmet medical needs in a push to grow sales in 2015," according to the company's new chief financial officer.
"The competition is less keen to find drugs for conditions with few current therapies than for primary care," CFO William Chase told Bloomberg Thursday in an interview in New York. "AbbVie will focus on these illnesses, such as Parkinson's and endometriosis, a disease of the uterus, where the North Chicago, Ill.-based company already has treatments under development," he said.
That's the apparent good news about ABBV. The not-so-great news came later in the interview with the CFO. ""We're not going to be a primary care company going forward," Chase said. "What we're really looking for is specialty segments."
"The goal is for those products to come on line in 2015," Chase said. "In 2015, the pipeline will kick in and at which point we're confident AbbVie will return to growth, Chase said."My stars, that's two years from now! Maybe we can buy shares between now and then at around $27, almost 20% below the opening day high.
Let me commend Chase and ABBV for disclosing that it'll be two years or more before the "return to growth." If ABBV adds even more promising blockbuster drug treatments to its product pipeline it may become a lucrative, high-performance company. Then its stock price is likely to rise well before 2015.
In the meantime, and until further notice, let's take the CFO at his word: "Until then
Now let's consider ABT and what it has to offer investors going forward. Abbott is still a diversified health-care company with a market cap of over $52 billion. Its performance goals are focused across a broad portfolio of leading businesses aligned with favorable long-term healthcare and emerging market trends.

2nd time purchase. Similar taste/texture to brown sugar, but lighter, less sweet. I use as my #1 alternative to table sugar, though you need more, since it's not as sweet. Still, DELICIOUS. Safe for Candida sufferers, just not in large quantities.
cheap and healthy
Posted by Reviewer2526491 on May 13, 2011
the price is really good and the bag lasts surprisingly long. Very good caramel taste.
Something new
Posted by Reviewer2303100 on May 24, 2011
I am currently on a health kick. Trying to lose some extra pounds that have accrued over the years. I heard about coconut sugar and searched all the stores around me and could not find any. So I started searching for it online. I located it on Iherb.com and immediately ordered it. I have made a few things with it and I think it is great. Tastes awesome. Will definitely be ordering more from Iherb when I need it.
very good
Posted by Reviewer2624820 on May 25, 2011

Better and healthier than raw sugar
Posted by Reviewer1112892 on Jun 07, 2011
Sweet, tasty and no calories at all. Tastes a little bit like caramel.I continue shopping this sugar instead of raw cane sugar.
Taste great

Same-Gender Marriage: Implications for Social Work Practitioners
Notably, in 2013, Maryland, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Minnesota became the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th states, respectively, to legalize same-gender marriage. Without legal recognition or social support from the larger society, the majority of same-gender partnerships in the U.S. are denied privileges and rights that are considered basic for heterosexual marriages. This manuscript draws from a national cross section of published survey data from 1996 to 2013 reporting Americans' attitudes regarding same-gender marriage and civil unions. Social work practitioners have broad opportunity to apply their skills to the critical needs facing same-gender partners. After an overview of the legal status of same-gender marriages and their accompanying social and policy issues, recommendations are provided that include identification of specific needs for premarital counseling of same-gender partners and ensuring sensitivity to the myriad challenges they face.

Roasted Tom Turkey
Recipe courtesy of Robert Irvine
- Food Network Specials
- 1 (24-pound) fresh tom turkey
- 3 tablespoons freshly chopped tarragon leaves
- 3 tablespoons freshly chopped thyme leaves
- 3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
- 3 tablespoons freshly chopped sage leaves
- 1 cup (2 sticks or 1/2 pound) butter, softened
- 2 onions, peeled, roughly chopped
- 1 bunch celery, well scrubbed and roughly chopped
- 2 apples, skin-on, stems and seeds removed, roughly chopped
- 2 oranges, skin-on, but rinsed, roughly chopped
- 2 carrots, roughly chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Remove the giblets from the turkey, wash the turkey well, and pat dry with paper towels.
Use your fingertips to gently separate the turkey skin from the breast. Mix the chopped herbs with the softened butter and distribute evenly underneath the turkey skin. This will create a self basting turkey and keep it moist as it cooks slowly.
Preheat oven to 450 or 500 degrees F.
Place the chopped onion, celery, apples, oranges, and carrots inside the cavity of the turkey and then sprinkle the turkey all over with salt and pepper, to taste. Place the turkey on a rack (the reason we place the turkey onto a rack is so we don't get a mushy bottom on the turkey) in a roasting tray, cover with aluminum foil, and place in a preheated oven at 450 to 500 degrees F for the first 25 minutes then reduce the heat to 325 degrees F for a further 4 hours checking every 20 to 30 minutes throughout the day. About 1 hour from finishing remove the foil and allow to get golden brown.
You should roast the turkey until an instant-read thermometer registers 180 degrees F (this is the temperature for a whole turkey) and the juices no longer run pink when you cut into the center of the thigh (it should be clear). The drumstick should move easily from the socket when lifted or twisted. When the turkey has finished cooking remove from oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes - longer is better. It will not go cold!!!
Note: I personally don't like to baste because every time you open the oven you lose at least 25 degrees F of heat, so this means that you keep the turkey in the oven longer therefore drying it out.

About the Author: Jendayi E. Frazer serves as Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs.
I can look back on the past eight years of U.S.-Africa relations with pride that we made enormous progress. Six conflicts in six countries have ended. Overall American assistance has quadrupled in dollar terms, reflecting a deep commitment to the continent. The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is the largest foreign assistance program since the Marshall Plan; 12 of the 15 focus countries are in sub-Saharan Africa. President Bush has launched a major initiative to wipe out malaria, Africa's number one killer. And that's only the beginning of a long list.
We have accomplished so much because of a long overdue fundamental shift in our strategic thinking. President Bush recognized the strategic importance of Africa and followed up on this understanding with concrete action. At the heart of this shift is the idea of partnership. As Secretary Rice has said, partnership means working with, not for, Africans. We backed the efforts of African leadership to secure a more stable and prosperous continent. In this context, the African Union has organized with American training its first peacekeeping forces in Burundi, Somalia, and Sudan. ECOWAS (the Economic Community of West African States) took the lead in helping end the gruesome civil wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone. It is this formula that we are using to address the conflicts in Congo, Sudan, and Somalia.
Certainly there is much more to do. Terrible conflicts continue in Darfur and Eastern Congo. A weakly-governed Somalia continues to produce refugees, feed piracy, and serve as a breeding ground for terrorism. The tragedy of Zimbabwe grows starker with each passing day. Kenya and Nigeria experienced flawed elections that threatened the very fabric of those key nations. Recent coups in Guinea and Mauritania have reminded us that democratic governance and rule of law have a long way to go on much of the continent.
For too long the U.S. Government treated Africa mainly as a humanitarian concern. President Bush changed that. He deserves full credit for recognizing Africa's strategic importance and the fact that its greatest resource is its people. True, we have a long way to go. But I can say with confidence that we are headed in the right direction in full partnership with Africans.
Joe in Tennessee writes:
P.L. 108-25,Through the Emergency Plan, the U.S. Government is working with international, national and local leaders worldwide to support integrated prevention, treatment and care programs.
$48 billion total cost...for this ONE program.
Please view the following:
Now imagine, if you will, having the ability to combine it with all or most of these organizations in a concerted effort...Any CEO or Manager of any business, small or large, knows that the consolidation of direction of goals and resources significantly improves the outcome with less waste. The more seperated the departments are, the more problems, conflict and waste will be created; even if, the same goal is desired or mandated.
If there were a more concerted effort of these organizations, it would also lend to a better Nationalistic identity for all the African countries and help dramatically with communications , which is a major obstacle, as well from the little I read.
There is a lot President Bush passed which aided others; unfortunitely, Politics seems to have taken precidence...and I am not kissing up...his Dad knows that...LOL! I got his political end over a few words...LOL!
Hopefully, our future will hold more mutual aid as the world is getting closer and closer and National borders are no longer what they once were. What affects one country, now affects many...reguardless of politics.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Cracking trail race with good facilities, reasonably quick and not too challengingDate of review: March 18, 2012
In short: Cracking event with stunning views over Wharfedale and slick organisationIn full: Quite a tough race, despite being a C class fell race some of the climbs were pretty harsh and some pretty rocky sections as well. Scenery is spectacular and would be worth running as a training run just for that. Organisation was excellent and well thought out, and the facilities at the rugby club were pretty good too. I managed a 2nd place prize as well just to top my day off so I'm on cloud nine for the near future. I would heartily recommend this race for anyone with an interest in the beautiful Yorkshire dales. Good T-shirt as well, plus a gel in the goody bag (bit puzzled by the box of shredded wheat though). Great value for £15Date of review: June 5, 2011
In short: Nice mixed terrain 10k with a few punishing hillsIn full: Fairly scenic course through Esholt woods with a shortish road section through Esholt village. Not an easy 10k but very good fun, last 2k contains 2 steep climbs with a cruel one all the way up towards the finish. Well organised, course well marked with km markers sprayed on the trail floor which I thought was a good idea. Also a bottle of specially brewed guiseley gallop beer for all finishers which was a nice touchDate of review: April 24, 2011
In short: Cracking event and well worth doingIn full: Tough course with around 1000-1200 ft of climbing (and descending) but excellent scenery and a great atmosphere. Slightly spoiled by a cock up on the finish line meaning I lost 2 places (mainly due to a numberless runner trying to run through the finish line) but otherwise a very good race.Date of review: December 26, 2010
In short: Fairly flat fast course, although a fairly boring routeIn full: The abbey dash is spot on for getting a PB (provided you save enough for the short but taxing hill in the last 1/4 mile) and is generally a very fast course out of Leeds to the Abbey and back. The route is mainly straight along one of the main routes into Leeds and as a result is pretty boring, even with the abbey at the halfway point, and the lack of terrain changes or hills can make it a bit monotonous. That said, I've done it 2 years in a row and will do it again next year, for pushing it hard I don't know of a better 10k.Date of review: November 27, 2010
In short: Tough hilly race set in great scenery and perfectly organisedIn full: One of my favourite races, the course is a real toughie with around 1300ft of climbing including at 2-3 very steep hills which are real leg burners. The atmosphere is possibly the best in any race I have ever run, the marshalls are all top notch and very helpful and the organisation is second to none. There's also a fun aspect to this race with the bloke dressed as guy fawkes starting the race on his pushbike every year. Goody bag at the end is always full of loads of chocolate and sweets which is most welcome and you get a long sleeved T shirt as well. Highly recommendedDate of review: October 31, 2010
In short: Good trail race again just like last yearIn full: Enjoyed it a lot this year and randomly managed to gain a PB even on a tough course. Bit of everything here, quite hilly and a nice mix of trails, fields and farm tracks. Date of review: August 30, 2010
In short: Fab race with a great atmosphere and a brilliant goody bag at the end. Couple of killer hills, and this year the roads were flooded which was fun. Plus Ripley is a lovely place. Full marksDate of review: November 1, 2009
In short: nice well marshalled trail raceIn full: Not too muddy dispite raining the night before, although there was one boggy section. Quite a steep start to the course and then downhill on the way back. I enjoyed it, even though I was out of sorts and forgot my inhaler (so had to walk 1k). Lots of friendly runners were in evidence and overall a good route, just go steady on the first hill, it looks as though it's a short steep section but it actually goes on for some time so it's easy to overdo it.Date of review: August 31, 2009
