Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (37 votes).
In short: A good two lap race, with some hills and good sceneryDate of review: July 6, 2013
In short: A superbly organised event at a great venueIn full: My 3rd 10k and although it's challenging with 2 fairly steep hills I got a PB. It was very well marshalled and loads of support throughout the route.Haslams Rugby club is a great venue to stage the event as my wife and child were well catered for with chips, bacon sandwich, tea and coffee on offer in the club house.Look forward to entering next year.Date of review: August 30, 2012
In short: Undulating but Scenic Route. Friendly & WelcomingIn full: My 2nd year at this event and the first thing to say is a big thank you to the organisers who rearranged this popular Annual run following bad weather early in July. This is a 2 lap 10k taking in the lovely village of Darley Abbey and the nearby Darley Abbey Park in Derby. The village and the park is by no means flat thereby making this a challenging course - especially on a windy day like this year's race was. Great support and encouragement from the village locals and marshalls on route. Decent goody bag, an instant chip timing results service upon crossing the finish line, massage facilities and good use of the Haslams Rugby club bar for a well deserved portion of chips afterwards and a drink at the end. I would suggest just one area for improvement. About half a km into the park there is a downhill pathed section where you run towards some barrier fencing/posts which you need to zig-zag through to get past. This could be dangerous as runners approach it at speed. There perhaps should be a marshall on hand to warn runners to take care.All in all a great race and I look forward to returning. Date of review: August 27, 2012
In short: A well organised event with a good atmosphere and a great scenic route.In full: This was my third 10k and it was very enjoyable. The hill proved to be challenging on the second lap but the flat finish to the course allows you to finish strong. I finished with a PB and feel it is certainly a course for quick times if you've thrown in some hill training. Definitely one I will be doing next year! Date of review: July 4, 2011
In short: A scenic and well organised raceIn full: This is the first time I did this race, and it was a last minute decision and am so glad I ran this beautiful, scenic but challenging course.The atmosphere was famtastic especially the 2 guys as you turned the corner onto the grss for the finish. Having 2 x water stations was a good idea too. Definetley will be back next year.Date of review: July 3, 2011
In short: Friendly race with excellent organisation, marshalling and good support. See you next year!Date of review: July 3, 2011
In short: A challenging and well organised race for a great causeIn full: This is a 2 lap course and starts off with a fairly tough uphill climb for the first 1k or so (and therefore you do it again between 5k and 6k) That aside it is a flat and comfortable course with beautiful surrounds, lots of support and good marshalling. This is a well organised and well established race and I'll be back again. Date of review: July 2, 2011
Date of review: April 25, 2011
In short: Good race but not a fan of 2 lapsIn full: Overall a nice race with a testing hill. Problems with the slippy area as you enter Darley Park (sap) particularly as it was straight after the hill and then the barriers going down the hill slowed you down.Not a great fan of two lap courses as you tend to create -ve thoughts, e.g. knowing you have got to do that hill again, etc.,.Date of review: July 5, 2009
In short: Great Friday night.In full: Well organised, friendly and worthwhile event.It was a bit too hot for me but I enjoyed it all the same. The hill was a bit of a crippler on the second lap though.Great fun, I'll be back!Date of review: July 5, 2009

Great tip, Jackitup. Tranman, I've switched to semolina for the dusting. Less mess than regular flour, and adds a little extra crunch to the crust.
Jackitup - that is one huge pie. How big is that sucka?
I agree Ronzo. I too prefer semolina flour over corn flour.
As cool as this thing is, it's not the answer. A wet dough of 80% hydration will still stick to the superpeel just as much as any regular wooden peel. First off you have to flour the crap out of the superpeel and work just as fast as you would with any regular wooden peel. When you unload the pie or bread, you end up with a bunch of flour all over your oven since the flour on the peel comes dusting off pretty easily. His problem is in using a metal peel instead of a wooden peel as mentioned previously. A temporary fix (until he get's a wooden peel) is to use a piece of stiff cardboard as a peel. If that makes a difference, then your answer is in getting a wooden peel. Now, I also realize that one can remove the cloth on the superpeel and use it as a regular peel. That's what I do anyway.

Picture This! - Page 2
Now that I carry a digital camera, however, I can capture photographic evidence of anyone who tries to roll me up in a carpet, cut off my breathing or otherwise try to do me in. I live out in the country where the rednecks and their house pets roam. I've been hounded well over 50 times (I stopped counting after that) by everything from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to rednecks in pickup trucks. Some critters out there just don't seem to like runners.
My digital camera has proven to be more effective than pepper spray in stopping most offenders. Its been my experience that most bad dogs will not try to draw blood until the third encounter. This gives you two opportunities to take their picture before all bets are off. (If you encounter a pack of bad dogs, expect to be bleeding soon.)
Nothing says "a lawsuit I can't win" like a 10-megapixel, electronically generated photograph or video of a dog (or a redneck) trying to put the bite on your butt. Granted, you might not get the photo of the animal actually biting you since focusing becomes difficult while trying to protect vital organs.
But when an owner has almost convinced even you that his or her dog has never been in the street or threatened anyone, there is a certain satisfaction in the moment you present pictures of it doing just that.
Every trail runner I've ever met has some kind of story about the bear, the lion, the bobcat, the elk, the deer, the fox, the bighorn, the eagle, the scenery, the sunset, the couple having sex or some amazing encounter that occurred on a trail run. Since I started carrying my camera, I've gotten pictures of all of those, and much more.
Last but certainly not least, I've carried my Canon during almost every race I've run for the past year. We trail runners race in some pretty amazing places, and I treasure some of the shots I've gotten out there even in the heat of a race. Though most of my downhill shots are a blur, it's quite easy to get good pictures on uphill switchbacks without even stopping.
It's also kind of fun to wait at the finish line and take the picture of the guys who finish right behind you. Though I often capture an expression of pain almost as if I just shocked their earlobes, they're still some of my favorites.
I just never encourage anyone who finishes ahead of me to carry a camera.
Paparazzi have never outrun Bernie.

What's at stake in the ongoing battle for the beginning? Worship. Period.
From cover to cover, the Bible asserts and affirms the Genesis account to exalt God for who He really is—the Creator. We should reflect that pattern too. In fact, that's not an option. As Sovereign Creator, God demands to be worshiped.
So if God is Creator, that means He exercises authority over all His subjects, particularly human beings made in His image. That's a truth that has been the confidence of God's people throughout the ages. On the other hand, those who want to preserve their sense of personal autonomy hate the Creator's authority. They believe it's in their best interest to do away with the doctrine of creation.
God not only created the world, He presides over that world as sovereign ruler. Those who ignore or disobey His rule will face Him one day, not only as Creator, but also as Judge. John MacArthur explains . . .

Amen and halleluiah. If this were a recipe, what would be wrong to follow it all the way without taking anything out or twisting- because someone may not like it? I prefer to be called narrow minded because of believing the Word of God word-by-word as it is on the Bible, particularly the first three chapters, than come up with things created by man (science) such as Evolution. Cannot, must not come up with speculations about the creation account, one day equals so close to what we know today as 24 hour day (day and night). No room for trillions, billions, or millions of years. It is just not there. I am so glad that the Lord Jesus when he incarnated and walked on this earth, he chose 11 nobodies (sort of speak), and the Holy Spirit filled them with knowledge.

"What's at stake in the ongoing battle for the beginning?"
Some men, since the fall, chose to believe lies (right from, or indirectly from satan). One of them, that God could not be trusted, another, that he (man) could rely on other "gods" to help him; another, that it was up to him to figure out how creation works; and many other lies until we ended up with naturalistic evolution and all the atrocities that come with it.
God, in His infinite wisdom, knowing full well Adam would fall, had already prepared a plan to bring those he chose since the foundation of the world back to Himself. He gave us His word; inerrant, and in a way we could understand it if we read it with open hearts and with the help of the Holy Spirit.
The battle lines are drawn; Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Let us not forget that very important fact. God knows who will be saved. Let us do all we can to show the world it's errors.

Psalms 150
Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His
mighty firmament! Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise His according
to His excellent greatness! Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;
Praise Him with lute and harp! Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes! Praise Him with loud
cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals! Let everything with breath
praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
I love this verse and it confirms that God is truly our Creator. Amen.
Jorge, well said. Basic lies told that contradict the words of God in the garden: "you will not surely die", but you will transition to another form, a spiritual form, either to enjoy the bliss of eternal life in the presence of God, or the pain of eternal life in misery. The other one is that it matters not that God "blessed the seventh day and hallowed it", man (the church fathers) can dispense with that special designation and bless and sanctify the first day instead.
God holds everything in the palm of his hand. We must tremble in His
Hands, not scare, no!, In humble way, fear Him that He is all powerful,
holy, and goodness. Being in awe of Him.
Awesome is God, most high. Worship His majesty! Amen!!
Praise God for His perfect plan and His awesome promise!!

NYPA Activates Electricity
Demand Reduction Program for Participating Customers in New York City
Michael Saltzman
June 8, 2005
NEW YORK—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) activated its Peak Load
Management (PLM) program Wednesday, for the first time this year, with
participating government and business customers in New York City asked to
lower their power use in anticipation of higher demand due to the hot
The purpose of the program is to help NYPA manage the electric load of those
customers during the air-conditioning season, from June 1 through September
30. The goal is to ensure it meets reliability requirements for 80 percent
of the peak load in the city to be met by in-city power plants.
"This is now the sixth year of the Peak Load Management program, an
award-winning initiative for reducing the amount of power carried over
transmission lines from power plants outside of the city," said Louis P.
Ciminelli, NYPA chairman. "The lowered demand contributes to the reliability
of the city's overall electric system during the hottest days of the year
when power demand is at its highest."
Participants achieve the power cutbacks through such measures as turning off
nonessential lighting and computers, adjusting air-conditioner settings,
running fewer elevators and shutting down decorative fountains.
A total of 14 customers are participating in the PLM program at 87
locations. Together, they've committed to cut back on their electricity use
by a total of 60 megawatts (mw). (One mw is about the equivalent of the
power for 1,000 homes.)
Among those participating are the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the
New York City Department of Environmental Protection, the City University of
New York, and Citibank.
The Power Authority pays the participating customers $40 for each kilowatt
of electricity they commit to reduce when called upon during the hot weather
months. Under the program, it may make such requests for up to 15 weekdays,
with the duration of the reductions limited to two to six hours, between 11
a.m. and 7 p.m.
Customers are given a day-ahead alert and a two-hour notice on the day of
the event, confirming the program's activation.
The Power Authority provides lower-cost power for thousands of public
facilities in New York City saving them hundreds of millions of dollars a
year on their electric bills. It has also invested in major energy
efficiency measures for those customers that have lowered their utility
bills by more than $54 million annually, helping to eliminate about 433,000
tons of greenhouse gas emissions a year.

In web design, a jQuery carousel is an element giving visitors easy and visible access to several content items. It is typically a dynamic scrolling list of items in horizontal order where previous and next items are partially visible. The items, consisting of HTML content, images, videos etc. can be scrolled back and forth (with or without animated transitions).
If you like jQuery plugins and javascript in general, make sure to check out the fully-licensed premium scripts found over at Envato Market.
Using sliding horizontal panels, known, as Carousels and Sliders, to feature top content, is one of the strongest web design trends over the last couple of years. It is a very effective method to increase the web site usability and engage the user. The reason for this trend is mainly the arrival of jQuery that have made it almost a "walk in the park" to add a jQuery carousel or a jQuery image slider plugin to a web site. There are many great jQuery carousel plugins available today, and it is quite difficult to choose the best. This article has been created specifically to help you get started using jQuery Carousels, but you may also jQuery Slider plugins.

The Minor Latham Playhouse will host the Columbia University Players' production of "Mother Courage and Her Children" starting Thursday night.
The Bertolt Brecht play, written after the Third Reich's invasion of Poland, follows the story of a canteen woman, nicknamed Mother Courage, who has to navigate the difficulties of motherhood in the middle of the Thirty Years' War. However, instead of setting the play in 17th century Poland, this production has modernized the set, and even includes a Halal cart on stage.
This production features an all-female cast, even though there are male characters, and is being directed by Julien Hawthorne, CC '14,as his last show as an undergraduate. He directed Jean Genet's "The Maids" last semester and has acted in several of the theater department's plays.
For Hawthorne, tackling Brecht's anti-war opus in a six-week time frame was a task that presented several difficulties on a six-week time frame for practical and substantive reasons.
"I think that the main challenge of putting this play on is that it demands that we as artists take a stand, one way or another," Hawthorne said. "With Brecht, it's not enough to just probe the problem—you need to say something concrete."
The difficulty that the play presents to the creative team is also present for the actors. Rachel Shafran, CC '16, who plays the mute daughter of Mother Courage, Kattrin, said that with a Brecht play, the job of the performers is "not so much about turning a mirror on society, but about changing society."
"Brecht and naturalism are different in that Brechtian acting is about making a statement about your character and their place in society as opposed to simply being a character," she said.
For Shafran, whose acting experience consists of this year's Egg and Peacock 24-hour play festival, simply being a character is already challenge enough.
"One of the hardest things to do in acting is to react," Shafran said. "And the majority of what I do is react to things happening around me. … It's different because you aren't tied to the scene in the same way other people are—their dialogue."
But the difficulty in making the play's themes materialize onstage, for Hawthorne, is worth it for the larger statement of the play, even though the play can be interpreted in different ways.
"It goes without saying that it has to be taken seriously, but at the same time, it begs to be parodied," Hawthorne said.
With the curtain about to rise on the last show he directs before graduation, Hawthorne's concern is with too many people liking the play—partially because the main character is meant to be unlikable.
"It's not as simple as, 'The war makes it hard for her [Mother Courage] to be a mother.' It's difficult to be a mother, but in the end, she chooses not to be," Hawthorne said. Still, he added that, "she is a sympathetic character because she's so intelligent and charming, and her problems are so real."
The problems that Mother Courage faces, according to Shafran, aren't unique to the 17th century, either.
"It takes place in the 1620s and '30s, but I think, unfortunately, it will always be relevant to society," she said. "It's a commentary on war and survival and capitalism. … This sounds so cliché, but it's timeless in a lot of ways just because its themes are meant to resonate in a lot of ways."
Mother Courage opens March 6 at 6:30 p.m. in the Minor Latham Playhouse and runs through March 8, with performances at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
Weronika Jurkiewicz contributed reporting to this article.

Correction: An earlier version of this article stated that the play was set in 17th century Poland. In fact, this production has been modernized. In addition, an earlier version of the article misquoted Julien Hawthorne. That quote has now been removed. Spectator regrets the errors.
There are some major errors in this article, both with regard to your info and your quotations.
First, the theater won't be transformed into 17th century Poland. This is not at all a period piece.
Also this is totally misleading, and when taken out of context, totally offensive: Additionally, with women in the male roles, he said that "the way these actresses consider how to interpret masculinity in this world can be hilarious at times," stressing the need to be "humorous but artful too."
I was commenting on societal conceptions of social gestus in Brecht, and said that I didn't want people to think that social gestus had to be didactic or moralizing, because the way that these actresses perform their male roles can be both hilarious and artful. I didn't say that the way they consider or think about these roles is hilarious, which is what you said. When taken out of context and/or rewritten, the quote is really misleading.
Also, me saying that if the play is done properly and makes a strong statement, not everyone will like it, is not the same as me saying that my concern is with too many people liking the play.
Basically everything I said is either decontextualized or paraphrased enough to totally obscure it's content. I think the constant use of partial quotes and the vague framing sentences are evidence of the article's need for some serious editing, which I guess happens cause it was written so late. But isn't it journalism 101 to use full quotes whenever possible, or at least to record your interviews?
Same with sentences like "For Hawthorne, tackling Brecht's anti-war opus in a six-week time frame was a task that presented several difficulties on a six-week time frame for practical and substantive reasons." Or "But the difficulty in making the play's themes materialize onstage, for Hawthorne, is worth it for the larger statement of the play, even though the play can be interpreted in different ways."
Normally this wouldn't be a big issue, but I don't want people to get the wrong idea about the play.

GRID-Arendal launches new environmental news portal covering 14 southern African countries
Kampala/Arendal 4. July 2002: GRID-Arendal launches today a new environmental news portal on the internet: www.earthwire.org/africa.
EarthWire Africa gives you a free daily overview of environmental news from 14 countries in southern Africa. Spread under subjects such as climate and energy, nature conservation and waste and recycling the site is an abundant source for being on top of the environmental debate in this part of the world.
Every weekday, a team of African journalists reviews more than 40 newspapers for environment-related news stories. Relevant stories are included in EarthWire/Africa where they can be viewed by country, topic, or time period. A search engine allows users to search for issues and keywords in the archive. Press releases and news from research organisations, the public sector, and environmental organisations will be included in the future as well.
EarthWire is used by government officials as a briefing on the day's environmental news, journalists following hot issues, students and researchers looking for current information on the state of the environment, and by anyone interested in current events and the environment.
EarthWire Africa covers more than 40 newspapers from Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Republic of Congo, Seychelles, Swaziland, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
The site is the second in a series of regional environmental news services, the first of which was EarthWire/Norway www.miljonytt.no.
Børge Brende, the Norwegian Minister of Environment uses this page daily and says: "I use Miljønytt every morning to keep updated about environmental news in Norway. Miljønytt provides me with a fast and broad overview of the topical environmental debate here in Norway and in our neighbouring countries. The web site is very useful to me in my work as Environment Minister. I am sure EarthWire Africa will serve as an important news source for Ministers of the Environment in the southern African region as well. EarthWire Africa is also important for people outside Africa, for gaining insight to the environmental debate here."
Svein Tveitdal, the Managing Director of GRID-Arendal says: " This is agenuine service facilitating promoting spread of African media coverage of environmental issues within and outside Africa. It will allow for people all over the world interested in African environment and development to get access to daily as well as a tremendous archive on African environmental issues. It will also bring news from African research institutes, NGO's and Governments into a global main stream of news."
The page is supported by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation.

In 2012, USA Field Hockey announced the establishment of a fundraising program to help provide opportunities to grow the sport of field hockey in the United States. With the end of the calendar year quickly approaching, usafieldhockey.com sat down with fundraising manager, Meagan Connolly, to ask her for her thoughts on this inaugural year of fundraising.
Since establishing a fundraising program in March, how would you describe the feedback we have received from our audience?
I continue to be amazed by the amount of positive feedback we receive. We have a dedicated audience that all share the same passion and goal to grow our sport in the United States and continue to create opportunities for our athletes to be successful at every level. I have had the opportunity to travel across the country to meet one-on-one with friends of USA Field Hockey and it is really refreshing to be able to meet so many fans and learn about their experiences. If you're interested in supporting USA Field Hockey and meet the next time I am in your area, please don't hesitate to contact me!
What do you find the most challenging with establishing the program?
When you start any program it's always going to be a challenge in the first year. I think the most challenging portion is establishing the culture for our audience to be afforded the opportunity to give back to our sport that has done so much for their family. I will forever be grateful for this sport because the amount of opportunities I had to grow as an individual in all aspects of life is amazing. I know I wouldn't be where I am today without USA Field Hockey.What inspired the London and Beyond campaign?
We noticed there have been new giving levels established. Can you describe each level and the incentives that are associated with the level?A gift of ANY size, regardless of the amount will continue to make a huge impact on our sport. However, since we do have many people that would like to increase their support at a greater capacity, we thought it would be beneficial to reward these supporters. We have established three different giving levels:
Applebee Society: $2,500 and above
Incentives: Board of Director Meeting Minutes, Access to team and coaches, priority ticketing and seating including the Olympic Games and World Cup
Olympic Club: $1,000- $2,499
Incentives: Board of Director Meeting Minutes, Access to team and coaches
President's Club: $500-$999
Incentives: Board of Director Meeting Minutes
USA Field Hockey established a fundraising program with the goals to continue to develop our game at all levels. We have implemented many new programs in the last two years to help assist our audience and create opportunities for our athletes, families, coaches, officials and fans. More importantly, we are hopeful that this program can act as a liaison from our organization to our audience and continue to cultivate and engage our fans in many different aspects of the game.Support USA Field Hockey and make your gift today! For more information, contact Meagan at 719-322-1215 or firstname.lastname@example.com

School adds safety training
FAIRMONT – Fairmont Area School Board has approved changing the school calendar next month, giving students an extra day off in order to train teachers and other staff in emergency response.
Strategos International, a company whose mission is to provide crisis-response training for groups such as schools, churches, law enforcement and military professionals, will provide a course for all school staff on March 8.
The training comes in the wake of discussions sparked by a school shooting in Newton, Conn., that left dozens of people dead.
Fairmont High School staff will undergo four hours of training in the morning, while elementary staff will have staff development meetings. The groups will switch for the afternoon session.
St. John Vianney, St. Paul Lutheran in Fairmont and Southern Plains Education Cooperative staff also will attend the training.
Strategos is offering the course to the district for no cost.
According to the school intruder response course description, staff will learn to prevent, report and protect themselves and students from an active shooter while they wait for police to arrive. They also will learn what to expect once officers are on scene.
Superintendent Joe Brown said staff will be trained how to keep an intruder out of the building, get students out of the building and, if all else fails, take out an intruder.
"It is really about keep out, get out and take out," he said.
A similar training will be offered to parents and community members on March 7 to address topics including how to help prevent incidents, how to report potential threats, bullying prevention tips and an overview of school-lockdown plans.

Tom Pingel is Managing Director of High Performance Indoor National Programs for USA Volleyball. He is serving as the team leader for the U.S. Men's Junior Team as it competes at the NORCECA Men's Junior Continental Championship in San Salvador, El Salvador.
Tuesday, 7/1 12:15p
No rest for the weary as we arrived back to the hotel about 12:30a last night. Hungry as no food available post-match and no places to get anything at or near the hotel. Hungry also for a better result today. After downloading and synchronizing video and a quick view of Puerto Rico, it was time for a quick night's rest.
Breakfast at 8a; bus to practice at 8:30a for 9:30-10:30a practice. The team got back to the hotel around 11:15a. Craig and I skipped practice to catch the bus with Canada to their 11a bus to the arena for their match v Puerto Rico in order to stat and video. So, Canada's turnaround was even quicker.
The 8a breakfast was much better stocked – scrambled eggs, pancakes, a mixture of refried beans and rice and… a choice of Pepsi or cream soda.
Canada proved that they are definitely for real as they came back to drop another loss on Puerto Rico: 22-25, 23-25, 25-23, 25-19, 15-11. This raises Canada to 2-0 and drops Puerto Rico to 0-2 in our pool. The top 3 of the 4-team pool advance to playoffs.
A big thank you to Erik Shoji's mom, Mary, and Joe K.'s grandmother for serving up the P.B&Js to the team as a pre-match snack!
Match Time!
We start Crider (set) Troy and Bourne (OH), Caldwell (OP), Jaynes and Ellis (MB) and Shoji (lib).
USA is better than at just about any time last night and DOM is worse than about any time yesterday. We'll take it!!! It really wasn't much of a game as USA rolls 25-15.
Same starters in game 2 and same results – USA wins 25-20.
Why mess with a winning combination. USA starts the same way, but this game is back and forth, but USA surges at the send to win 25-20 and the match 3-0. A nice point percentage, which may come in handy in the case of a tie-breaker as with FIVB, point percentage is the first tie-breaker – not head-to-head match result or game percentage.
Unofficially leading the way for USA was Tyler Caldwell with a team-high 21 points (2 aces, 18 kills and a block).
Patchell: "This was a very good and very needed win for us. We held down our errors and controlled the serve/pass game. Because we passed better, it enabled our offensive tempo to increase. We'll have to be on our game against a very explosive Puerto Rican team tomorrow. Both of us are in must-win situations.
More tomorrow,

If you're looking for a way to bond with your rec sports team this holiday season, look no further.
Lombardi has blitzed Broadway since it debuted on October 21st. Celebrating football's larger-than-life figure, the play zeroes in on Hall of Famer Coach Vince Lombardi and the legendary '65 Green Bay Packers as they make a run for their 3rd NFL Championship in 5 years.
Lombardi tells an inspiring sports story but also tackles life themes that transcend the football field, such as Vince's marriage with his wife Marie. This makes the play engaging for any viewer, whether you're a full-fledged jock or you've never heard of the name Vince Lombardi.
Best of all, Lombardi is played by the Dan Lauria (Kevin Arnold's dad from the Wonder Years).
Lombardi can be the perfect social event for any rec league. Sportsvite recognized this- that's why we we're giving away 2 pairs of tickets. So come down to the Circle in the Square Theatre on Broadway and learn about the man who has the Super Bowl Trophy named after him! If you're not from NYC, take a trip and see what the talk of the town is all about.
Send us an email or leave a comment why you deserve the tickets. If you're the first to reply with a good reason the tickets are yours! Also visit BroadwayOffers.com and use discount code LOHHC91.
This looks interesting. I have always admired Lombardi.

I don't think it is appropriate for a government official to use her time, let alone the time of other government staff in required technical support to create and maintain something like this, just to inform the world about Bed, Bath & Beyond coupons, about getting her car washed, about going the the gym, and her Christmas time with family, etc. I only wish she and other political appointees were as enthusiastic and committed to the work of the agencies as they are to playing on things like this where it is more an ego trip than an effort to accomplish something worthwhile. I would recommend Ms. Graffy leave the federal government so she could instead do what she really wants to do...chat with the world. A government job should not be a platform for self-agranizement or for getting a new job when the administration changes.

Old Dominion 100
June 5th-6th, 2010.
The 32nd Old Dominion 100 Mile Endurance Run began at 4am this past saturday morning at the Shenandoah Valley fairgrounds. 55 runners embarked on a day of 90 degree temps, high humidity, and swampy evening conditions. This event, years removed from the days of 100+ runners, seems to be regaining strength in the wake of "politics" and the increasingly popular Massanutten Mountain Trails. Sadly, in previous years there have been as few as 25 entrants to this race. Old Dominion is the 2nd oldest 100 mile foot race in the country and only the famed Western States 100 is older. Due to not getting into MMT this year, the rich history of Old Dominion, and being home turf, I decided in mid May to enter.
The first fifty miles of this race are fast. There are only a few major climbs, lots of road, and only a couple rolling hills. In a little over an hour I reached the top of Woodstock Gap, still very much in the dark, and followed by dozens of headlamps in the distance. We arrived at the first crew access point, mile 19.6, and I commented that the time was really flying by. I hit my marathon split in 4:10, and my 50k in 4:55. I spent most of the morning running with Abran Moore who was on his 3rd attempt after two DNF's at earning his coveted sterling silver buckle. Abran went on to run a very strong second half and finished in 20:12, finally earning his buckle! 5 hours 8 minutes into the run, I pulled into the Four Points aid station at mile 32.5. When I arrived, the drop bags had not arrived yet. Without a crew, I had no access to my gels, second water bottle, and s caps. This was the only time I can say I was concerned about logistics. Thankfully, an awesome volunteer let me borrow a water bottle and salt caps. During the morning I also ran back and fourth with Montrail runner, and eventual female winner (19:54), Sabrina Moran until she took off for good around mile 35.
All in all, the early miles went as expected. Things felt easy, runners were still social and upbeat, but that is to be expected before the miles strip it away. Despite muggy conditions early on, I maintained a pretty solid pace and wasn't too far out of reach of leaders Bobby Gill and David Ruttum through Four Points II, the 47.7 mile aid station. The time keepers said I was just 8 minutes back of Moran, and closing the gap on Brad Hinton. After crossing the 50 mile point of the race in a fairly relaxed time of 8:38 it was obvious that we were now entering the hottest, and most exposed part of the day. It was around a road climb at mile 52 where I caught and passed a struggling Hinton. Brad was last year's second place finisher, however, this was not one of his good days and he would drop at the next aid station. Meanwhile, sparse flagging over Moreland gap road caused me some confusion and I chose to run back a half mile on the course only to realize I was going the correct way. One bonus mile for the day.
Entering Edinburg Gap (mile 56) I was in 4th place and still feeling strong despite the conditions. I realistically wanted to make a run for a top 3, but knew the three folks ahead of me were all legit runners who could maintain their pace. I also had hopes for a sub 20 hour finish, which would require an 11 hour 22 minute second half over tougher terrain. As I changed socks, I noticed I was developing some problamatic blisters on my left foot, which may have been a result of wearing Brooks ST4 racing flats for 56 miles. I decided to swap into my half size larger Nike Pegasus, and wore them for the remainder of the race. The steep climb up the ATV trail was challenging yet went by quick. Ironically, it was the smooth downhill off the mountain that gave my feet the most issues as my beat up toes painfully hit the toebox on the downward grade. Hesitantly, I opted to walk sections of the downhill which I would have otherwise hammered hard. Through mile 60, I was still in 4th place overall, but the downhill walking provided opportunity for three runners to pass me, including my buddy Abran.
At the Little Fort aid station, mile 64.25, I was welcome by my old friends Mr. and Mrs. Pugh. Their son introduced me to ultras in 2004, and they have managed the Little Fort aid station at OD for over a decade. Little Fort may very well be the best aid station on the entire course, and it is where I decided to get my left foot patched up. Leaving Little Fort, I renewed my running,thankfully with less discomfort than before. It was just a short jog up the road to a sign that said "65 miles, go right, 93 miles, go left". I think at that moment it hit me just how rediculously far running 100 miles is. I had run 65 miles and still had 35 to go. During miles 65-75 I repeated a part of the morning road section and indulged in some fast trails leading into the 75 mile Elizabeth Furnace aid area.
Most people would agree that miles 75-86.5 are the toughest at Old Dominion. In short, I concur. Leaving mile 75 I started feeling queezy. Was it the hard pace through the first 100k? Was it the 30+ gels consumed? Who knows? All, I know is I couldn't stomach anything for the next 12 miles. Oddly enough, I managed to be very agressive up the notorious Sherman Gap climb and made it to the Veach East(mile 82) aid area in the waning minutes of daylight. From mile 82-86.5 I hit my lowest point. During the long climb out of Veach East I was running on fumes. I had now gone 3 hours without any calories, and my energy was completely gone. I took a few rest breaks up the mountain and got passed by two more non-bonking runners. I will admit that the 6.5 miles between mile 80 and 86.5 seemed like the longest I have ever run, or walked.
Leaving Veach Gap west, mile 86.5, my stomach starting coming around and I started laying down a few quick miles. Afterall, aside from sore hip flexors, my muscles still felt very good. The night section of the race felt surreal. The on and off rain throughout the evening made it feel like a sauna. With a headlamp on there was maybe 50-100 feet of visibility, and the fog was so dense you literally see the water vapor in the air. Lack of course flagging, perhaps a streamer every half mile, and the thick mist caused for more than a couple "oh crap, did I miss a turn?" moments. Though I lost a few minutes trying to figure out the intersections, I got lucky and came across Carter Weicking who thankfully was out remarking the course after we found out some locals were the culprits of the missing flagging.
At mile 93, I reached the top of Woodstock Gap for the last time. I could see the glow of the town lights below and it was a welcome site. I knew it was a mile of steep switchbacks down the mountain, and another couple miles of hilly country road, and three miles into the town of Woodstock. My stomach issues would linger for the remainder of the run, so I opted to just take it easy knowing that a silver buckle was now in the bag. From miles 80-100, I was only able to eat three gels, for a whopping 300 calories over the final 20 miles of the run. I made my way through empty town streets, the silence occasionally broken by the chirps of birds, or the grunts of local cows. Through the quiet night I patiently made my way back to the Shenandoah County fairgrounds,and completed the traditioned half mile lap around the horse track. I crossed the finish line at 1:52am with no spectators, no high fives, no fanfare, and no handshakes. I had run alone for nearly 50 miles of the race, and alone is how I finished. I made my way back to a friend's house for a shower, brushed my teeth, and hit the sack for a few hours of prescious sleep.
At 9am this morning we had our awards breakfast, and it was a great opportunity to share our great stories of the previous day's hardships, triumphs, and journeys. 100 mile races are a unique experience. You can never truly compare what your body and mind will go through in a 50k, or 50 miler with what takes place during 17-30 hours of constant forward motion. When I finished my first 100 miler in 2007 I could barely walk the few days after the event, and my legs and feet were swollen for days. This morning I woke up to find myself in amazingly good shape. There was obviously some minimal sorenss, but not much different than what I typically feal after a good effort at a 50k. My pre-race weight was 150 lbs, my post race weight was 146, thus a sign of good hydration and sodium managent during the day. I suffered only one small blister, one large blister on my big toe, and had a couple decent looking falls. Overall damage: not bad at all.
Thoughts on Old Dominion 100 as an event. I would classify race management as old school. Don't expect live updates, a slick website, or tons of race marketing. OD doesn't give out buckles for finishing under the cutoff like most 100 milers. However, if you do break 24 hours you will recieve one of the finest sterling silver buckles awarded at any ultra. That being said, they don't give out many buckles, and historically less than half the people who start the race will earn one. The race also boasts a drop out rate of nearly 50%. The OD course doesn't contain the rocky trails of MMT, the vertical climb of Grindstone, or the oxgyen deprivation of Leadville. It is truly 80% paved/dirt roads with about a dozen miles of gnarly trail, and a deceptive 14,000 feet of climb(the same as Leadville and Vermont). The course is significantly harder the second half, which leads to many folks going out too fast early and the June race date often results in very hot and humid conditions. For $135, which is cheaper than some 50 milers, I would recommend Old Dominion. The race itself and location are full of history,the volunteers amazing, and any Shenandoah area ultra runner should try experience this part of the valley.

Great job, Mike!
...and way to hang in there and adjust on the fly when your drop bag wasn't there at Four Points. I would have just said, "Screw this! I'm going home!".

Haha. Thanks Dan! Turns out, I was one of the only runners who went completely solo at OD. It's nice to renew my 100 miler membership. I'd love to try another 24 hour attempt after two goofed up efforts. Let me know when your next 24 hour is, I'd love to see you in action.

Thanks for a great report. Yours is the first I have read that went crew-less. I am seriously considering OD 100 this June with no crew for my 1st 100 miler. I am a bit slower so I most likely will not beat my drop bag.

"It's been a whirlwind"
Tommie Williams doesn't have much time to adjust to his new job as Green Bay Blizzard head coach. With a game coming up Saturday, he's hit the ground running.
"I was part of the program briefly, so everything at this point is moving forward, being positive, getting a competitve football team on the football field, and I think we're on that way right now." said Williams.
As the team's offensive coordinator, Williams had an up-close look at the Blizzard's disappointing 0-6 start to the season, but he's not interested in looking back.
"We're going to move forward, nothing against coach (Chad) Baldwin, we're going to move forward with some different practice schedules, we're going to move forward with some different meal plans, we're going to move forward with some different schemes offensively and defensively. We've got some new coaches coming in that will help us out defensively and with special teams, and I'll take over the offense."
While there will be plenty of changes under coach Williams, one thing that will stay the same, is the quarterback. Oshkosh native Nate Wara will continue to be the signal caller for the Blizzard.
"He will be an outstanding quarterback in this league. He gives us a little bit of a different aspect, he'll take off and run, and that helps us with our scheme, and he can stand back in the pocket and throw the ball. He's got an outstanding offensive line in front of him. So once he understands the nuances of the indoor game, working with spacing, he'll be an outstanding player for us."
Green Bay hosts Tri-Cities on Saturday night, so what can fans expect under the new regime?
"They'll be able to see the changes that we've made, hopefully in a positive as we hope to get a victory. Some wholesale changes of aggresiveness, higher tempo, and hopefully we'll score a lot of points and get us the victory."

Why Conservatives Should Embrace Free Immigration
After the election, Righty circles are naturally engaging in some soul-searching, finger-pointing, and bickering. Some of this is unproductive venting, but it's also the start of the process of working out how to move on and improve, and there's no time to waste.
My conversations with fellow Righty operatives and bloggers have spurred me to suggest several ways Republicans could simultaneously make the party more attractive (or less repulsive) to voters and achieve more conservative results. This post is about immigration and reversing the trend of Hispanics rapidly abandoning the GOP; the next is about gay marriage; and the final post is about entitlement reform.
First, let's dispense with the notion agreed upon by many on the Right: seal the border first, so that whatever follows is more controlled and orderly. This is an expensive fantasy. Conservatives need to apply their skepticism of huge, complex, market-distorting government plans to every issue surrounding immigration, starting with any plan to spend tens of billions of dollars on thousands of miles of fence, surveillance, unionized government employees, and a verification system forced on every employer in the country.
It's a joke that the Republican Party, which is practically defined by marriage, babies, and mortgages, holds at arm's length a whole demographic (Hispanics, especially foreign-born) that tends to be more religious, marry younger and longer, and have larger families than the average American voter.
Mass immigration could work for the GOP if the GOP went with the tide instead of trying to stop it.
- If Republicans want school choice, they should have natural allies among those who are religious, have large families, and see their children suffer under the worst public schools. When you hear complaints that Hispanic immigrants don't speak English, suggest vouchers and education savings accounts for private-school English language instruction.
- If Republicans want to revive farms and stop the population drain from rural areas, make legitimate cheap labor more available: open up a bunch of farm worker visas.
- If Republicans want to cut the cost of new housing so that young people can form households and families, make legitimate cheap labor available for that too. Heck, why not try to break various trade unions by inviting enough skilled immigrants to swamp or bypass their system?
- So the entitlement system is a problem? Yeah, Milton Friedman famously said you can't simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state. Shouldn't the Republican response be "Bring on free immigration"? If math dooms Medicaid and the subsidized industrial-age hospital model, why not make the math even harder?
- Conservatives have longed to shift taxes away from production and toward consumption. Nobody wants to remove labor tax wedges (AHEM: the payroll tax) as much as someone in a labor-intensive business, the kind that tends to thrive when there's a lot of cheap labor available. That goes for both employers and the employees whose compensation is tilted toward wages rather than benefits; we know it suppresses the Hispanic savings rate. And the payroll tax, of course, helps to maintain the accounting fiction that SocSec and Medicare are like savings.
Now, about the security problem: is it easier to pick out a genuine security threat in the crowd if everyone just has to pass a security check, or if hundreds of thousands of people are trying to cross the border undetected because the only legal route is a seven-year byzantine process?
Heather Mac Donald at NRO offers a potential counter-argument: Hispanics are more suspicious of Republicans for supporting class warfare than for opposing immigration according to a poll (from March 2011), and a majority favor gay marriage, so they're not such a conservative bunch. But:
- Immigration may not be most Hispanics' top concern, but it isn't trivial either. And because politics is so tribal, there are many ways to alienate a group without actually disagreeing on policy – many of which Republicans blunder into when discussing immigration.
- Republicans shouldn't cede the class warfare argument either: it wouldn't hurt if the party focused more on the poor, as Mac Donald's colleague Kevin D. Williamson exhorts the GOP to do. If you're a small-government type who reads the previous sentence as a plea to compromise on principle, that reaction is part of the problem.
- Finally: social issues. Mac Donald points out that a majority of Hispanics favor gay marriage. I'll argue in my next post that conservatives should proactively embrace gay marriage, which should resolve this issue nicely.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (608 votes).
In short: Truly awful - cynical organisation, bordering on dangerousIn full: This is easily the worst race I've run. Please don't do it - it may force them to change.Only reason you might consider it is if you're doing a one-off race for charity. Even then, there are several much better runs where you won't get 'pushed along'Otherwise, don't bother. Asics are out for maximum profit and have made absolutely no effort to make this value for money. Unfortunately, enough people enter each year that they have no incentive to improve. Organisation would be comical if it wasn't dangerous - only enough space for half that many people and amazed I saw no accidents. No martials, km markers virtually invisible, no chip timing (for £30 - they're having a laugh!), no time waves, wastefully big bag that was almost empty, confused crush at end.You get the general idea...Date of review: July 8, 2008
In short: Poor organisation, but a fun raceIn full: The staff were rude and very unhelpful, espcially at baggage reclaim. Goodie bag was poor (I know you shuldn't do it for the bag but entry was £30!). Start was terrible as everyone was thrown in together. (I imagine this was worse for serious runners.)I put my self kind of middle to back section (was aiming for 1 hour finish)but found many slow walkers infront (in the middle of the road) just 1k into the race which I had to get past and saw many serious runners trying to zip past everyone. Wave system would have been much better for eveyone! However there was a lot of support and music along the way which was nice. Lots to improve on for next year.Date of review: July 8, 2008
In short: First 10k - so special to me, though midly disappointed with the route.Date of review: July 8, 2008
In short: PBIn full: I got my PB but this was due to me surprisingly being close to the start.A wonderful steady downhill to warm up and potential to keep a good pace all the way round.Stunning scenery and a excuse to run london with no traffic is awesome.Date of review: July 8, 2008
In short: Room for ImprovementIn full: After reading BUPA 10,000 comments of improving this race, I wasn't expecting too much. My race number arrived very late and was made of hard, shiny paper that annoyed me through the run. I don't understand why a race this size only has approx 100 toilet per 25,000? it wasn't nice watching when people went on someone's front garden/public park when the queues were horrendous 15min before the start! Start should been more penned as people's friends and family stayed with them until the start - even saw one loved one running the first half km as she couldn't get of the road! i was impressed with water being available from early on and gatorade was lovely. BUPA 10,000 should take note and add that to their race. I get tummy cramps from water...The goody bag was a bit poor but I wasn't after too much. medal and a snack bar were fine with me - maybe they should be handed out at the finish area! Overall opinion - after running both BUPA 10,000 and British 10K London Run, i think both have definite good points and bad points. both can learn from one another! I think i will do this again next year!Date of review: July 8, 2008
In short: My first race ever and not sure if it was because I was running for a charity but I found no problems with the organisation - maybe after a different 10k I may change my mind......?Date of review: July 8, 2008
In short: Organisation shocking - do they not read the feedback!?!?!?!In full: Simple changes could turn this ok fun run into a really great road race. Sort out the bags - treat them as if they were your own rather than leave them in puddles for 2 hours.... Provide toilets in a sensible venue rather than blocking the route to the start. Stagger or divide the start by time band - why do we provide our expected time if they don't use it! And sort out the finish area - just funnel the runners and give them drinks, goody bags and medals.... If you finished later you didn't get a goody bag or medal as people were being allowed to take more than one.... hardly fair for the true fun runners.... Come on Asics you can do better than this!Date of review: July 8, 2008
In short: With the entry fee, there really could do with a champion's chip and better goody bagsIn full: I thoroughly enjoyed this race, though I don't remember the last time I didn't enjoy a race due to any problem with organisation. But there really are a few things that really could be better. I've entered much cheaper races, but they provided efficient timing facilities such as a champion's chip. But that's by the by, mainly, with entry fee such as this one (£30.00), a much better goody bag really isn't much to ask. It was very crowded and full of walkers. The route itself was pure speed, there can be no doubt about that. Over all, I enjoyed this race very much, the support was fantastic and the music was uplifting, if the few problems can be ironed out, then it really would be much more appealing than it was.Date of review: July 8, 2008
In short: Good, but lacking wow-factorIn full: Adequate, but enjoyable. No major problems, baggage facilities ran smoothly, good signage and nice route. Suffers from congestion, particularly in the first 3km, so not great for serious runners, but still PB-potential as it's a fast route. Good route, nice crowd support. Goody bag was a bit disappointing, and shame there was no chip timing. It's a very expensive entry fee for what was provided, but I still enjoyed the day. Room for improvement. Date of review: July 7, 2008
In short: Not greatIn full: Information desk was dreaful. None of staff new where it was located and nobody checked my ID when I realised I'd forgotten my bib reference. Luggage bays should've been sheltered from rain.Date of review: July 7, 2008
