June 2011 E-News Brief
DOCOMOMO US/Louisiana reports that less than 24 hours after receiving notice from RSD Superintendent John White, demolition of the historic Phillis Wheatley Elementary School (Charles Colbert, 1954) in the Treme-Lafitte neighborhood of New Orleans began late Friday afternoon, June 17. The New Orleans chapter had worked tirelessly to save the structure, with the strong support of local residents, former students, and actors from the critically-acclaimed HBO series Treme, including Phyllis Montana-LeBlanc who witnessed the demolition first-hand.

While the City of Chicago's 60-day demolition delay of Bertrand Goldberg's former Prentice Hospital may have expired at the beginning of June, the battle for its preservation has intensified in recent weeks. Members of DOCOMOMO US/Chicago-Midwest and several other local groups have organized a number of lectures and events to raise public awareness about the importance of, and threat to, the iconic cloverleaf-shaped building.
On June 6th, "Bowling for Prentice" was held at 10Pin in Goldberg's Marina City complex. Organized by DOCOMOMO US/Chicago-Midwest, the event was co-sponsored with Landmarks Illinois, Preservation Chicago, AIA Chicago and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Dozens of attendees showed their support and their bowling skills while raising funds for advocacy efforts.
A "Save Prentice" rally was held in front of the building on June 15th. Supporters showed support with "Save Prentice" shirts and homemade signs and heard speeches from Jim Peters from Landmarks Illinois, Vince Michael from the Art Institute, Jonathan Fine of Preservation Chicago and Zurich Esposito of the AIA Chicago. At the event, the announcement was made that Prentice had been included on the National Trust for Historic Preservation's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places list.
In addition to these events, several lectures have taken place to get the word out about the need to preserve the former Prentice building. The "Save Prentice" Facebook page has attracted over 800 users as the place to stay up-to-date with Prentice news and developments, and an online petition in favor of Landmark status has so-far gathered over 1,500 signatures.
The Commission on Chicago Landmarks included the building on their June 2nd meeting, but the issue was deferred to July, allowing preservationists more time to rally around the cause. Stay tuned for further updates in the coming weeks.
DOCOMOMO US is excited to announce the fifth annual National Tour Day! Join us Columbus Day weekend, October 8-10, for a variety of exciting tours and exclusive access to sites of the Modern Movement. Events are scheduled all weekend long with tours hosted by DOCOMOMO US regional Chapters, Affiliates, Friend Organizations, and for the first time, through a special partnership with the Society of Architectural Historians.
Our tours benefit from the knowledge of local experts from the national community of preservationists, architects, and educators, and each tour is uniquely designed to take full advantage of the Modern resources each particular region of the country has to offer. Confirmed 2011 tour locations include: Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Providence, San Francisco, and more!
The weekend of inspiring tours will culminate in a special DOCOMOMO US members-only event at the Philip Johnson Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut, a National Trust Historic Site, with details to be announced in the coming weeks.
Visit www.docomomo-us.org/tour_day_2011 for tour details and frequent updates.
Late last month DOCOMOMO US/New York/Tri-State hosted an evening with New York-based architect Christopher Rawlins on his upcoming publication entitled Sketches in the Sand: The Beach Houses of Horace Gifford. Horace Gifford designed more than a hundred modern homes, primarily on Fire Island, just off of the Long Island sound. The exciting discovery of Gifford's relatively unknown body of work, as explained by Mr. Rawlins, was shaped out of a passion for the modern dwellings on the island and Gifford's archive, fervently preserved by a friend of the architect in their home garage. As a student of the University of Pennsylvania and a protégé of Louis Kahn and Paul Rudolph, Gifford's designs are a delicate fusion of bold forms, intimate space and theatrical spatial layering.
As Mr. Rawlins' documentation project continues, DOCOMOMO US/New York/Tri-State is looking for individuals who might want to take part in a more long-term survey project of the Modern houses in the Pines with a goal of a neighborhood national register nomination. Click here for more information and to become a member of DOCOMOMO US/New York/Tri-State.
Additional information on Sketches in the Sand: The Beach Houses of Horace Gifford can be found online at http://www.horacegifford.org/, as well as a photo gallery of Gifford homes.
For two days in early April the DOCOMOMO US Board convened in Los Angeles to both investigate and promote the organization's national growth. Joining the Board were DOCOMOMO US interns from the Columbia University and Pratt Institute Historic Preservation graduate programs. To conclude the weekend the group visited three John Lautner-designed homes, led by Lautner archivist and author Frank Escher. Owners of the Lautner homes graciously opened their doors to DOCOMOMO US, including the Schaffer House, the Harpel House, and the Walstrom House.
John Lautner (1911-1994) was an early apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright and practiced architecture for over 55 years. Lautner is known for designing residences that are each a unique solution to a particular site. Many Lautner homes were built in and around Los Angeles, and his buildings have been featured in numerous publications, films, and broadcast media.
The John Lautner Foundation was founded in 1966 to celebrate and maintain the work of one of the 20th century's most creative American architects. This year the foundation celebrates what would have been John Lautner's 100th birthday with a series of events. John Lautner Turns 100 programming includes exhibitions, film screenings, home tours, symposia, receptions, and more.
John Lautner: A Life in Architecture, a new exhibit on the architect's work, will also be on view at the DeVos Art Museum in Marquette, Michigan August 19 through November 13, 2011. Visit the DeVos website for a full list of Lautner events at the museum.

The New Orleans Regional Modernism app is designed to highlight the significant, threatened and lost modern architecture of New Orleans.
A project of Tulane University and DOCOMOMO US/Louisiana, the location-based app allows users to browse modern buildings in New Orleans by architect, neighborhood, category and status (extant, threatened, or razed). Descriptions of buildings were written by DOCOMOMO members, students of DOCOMOMO US/Louisiana president Francine Stock's Regional Modernism class at Tulane School of Architecture, and Karen Kingsley, author of Modernism in Louisiana. The software was designed and is supported by the Innovative Learning Center, a division of Tulane Technology Services.
New Orleans Regional Modernism is compatible with iPhone and iPad, and available as a free download at the App Store.
The Pruitt-Igoe Myth: An Urban History
Documentary, 83 min.
Chad Friedricks, Director
Mid-century architecture, particularly when associated with Le Corbusier's architectural concepts for urbanity, is today too often viewed as a colossal failure to be remedied only by demolition of all vestiges of that period. Pruitt-Igoe, the infamous 32 building high-rise public housing project on the north side of St. Louis, first occupied in 1954 and demolished between 1972 and 1976, continues to be the poster child for such a myopic bias. The Pruitt-Igoe Myth presents a perspective of this much maligned urban renewal project that is counter to the simplistic expectations that architecture alone could solve social and economic conditions at mid-century (or that the project alone was the cause of the social decay that developed in its shadows.) Through the experiences, eyes, memories and voices of a group of former residents, the film dissects the social, economic, bureaucratic and political conditions that produced the project and, most importantly, the role each set of conditions played in Pruitt-Igoe's demise. From this foundation, one can start to understand the elation of residents having modern comforts and conveniences for the first time, the impact of political corruption and bureaucratic ambivalence on scaled back design plans, building quality, and operations, and the lack of adequate public commitment to maintenance that accelerated deterioration and desperation leading to an intolerable anti-social environment. The end of this story is known by all, as illustrated in the photo below.
The film is not a critical essay on any one facet of Pruitt-Igoe's conception, design, development, operation, maintenance and ultimate demolition. Rather, it seeks a balanced view of the interests that produced and operated the project and those that occupied it. This film is timely as we enter what appears to be a long and protracted economic downturn with housing at its core. There are valuable lessons here to learn and be reminded of. Hopefully, many will watch this film and contribute to a spirited discussion that result in a broader more informed understanding of the Modern architecture and the characteristics that crate and sustain a healthy urban environment.
Future screenings of The Pruitt-Igoe Myth include Los Angeles, Silver Spring, and New York City.

McDermott dismisses Welbeck link
Brian McDermott has dismissed reports linking Reading with a loan move for Manchester United's England striker Danny Welbeck.
- Related Content
23. Danny Welbeck
|1 (4)
McDermott is looking to sign an established Barclays Premier League player to assist the club's battle against relegation, but denied Welbeck is on his wish list.
The 22-year-old is behind Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez in the Old Trafford pecking order, leading to speculation he would be loaned to another club until the end of the season.
McDermott distanced himself from one of the more unlikely transfer stories of the January window.
"I can't see Sir Alex Ferguson sending Danny out to any club. I don't know where this has came from, it's got nothing to do with me," McDermott said.
"Welbeck's a great player and I'm sure Sir Alex Ferguson thinks he's a great player too. Everyone in the country thinks that."
Reading have already signed midfielders Daniel Carrico and Hope Akpan during the transfer window and McDermott hopes to make one further addition.
"We're still looking for an experienced player and if we can find one who has played some games in the division that would be good for us," he said.
"It's never easy to find a player like that, but it's definitely on the agenda."
The arrival of former Portugal Under-21 international Carrico, who had fallen out of favour at Sporting Lisbon, and Hope Akpan from npower League One club Crawley has been greeted with a lukewarm response from supporters.
Carrico, 24, is set to make his debut against West Brom on Saturday and Akpan, 21, could also figure with McDermott insisting they are already of Premier League standard.
"The fans were probably critical when we signed two players from Cork many years ago - Kevin Doyle and Shane Long," said McDermott, who is continuing to track Central Coast Mariners attacking midfielder Tomas Rogic and Swansea striker Danny Graham.
"I believe that if the player's got qualities and can play in the Premier League then whatever division they come from it doesn't matter.
"Daniel Carrico looks ready for a start and he says he is. He's a good player, can pass well, reads danger and is a leader.
"We feel that in Hope Akpan we've got another young lad who can do really well for us."
Former Reading striker Long will be returning to the club he left in 2011 when West Brom visit the Madejski Stadium.
Long, who was sold for £6.5million after the Royals had failed to secure promotion to the Premier League, has proved a hit at the Hawthorns, scoring nine goals in 24 appearances this season.
"I speak to Shane regularly, he's a friend. The impact he's had since 18 years of age has been phenomenal," McDermott said.
"Sir Alex Ferguson mentioned him the other day and talked about what a top player he was and he knows what he's on about.
"He might end up at a top-four club, that wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility.
"I remember when I first put him in the team he wasn't scoring but he was giving us so much. But then he started to score as well and he was phenomenal for us.
"He's exactly what we're about. You can say it in two words: Shane Long. I wanted him to stay but we couldn't afford to keep him. We had to sell to survive."

RELATED: 2013 USTA.com Year in Review home
By Erin Bruehl, USTA.com
From singles to doubles and veterans to rookies, it was a history-making year for Americans in 2013.
World No. 1s Serena Williams and Bob and Mike Bryan led the way, as they continued to add to their Hall of Fame legacies and establish themselves as some of the best ever to play the game. The now-32-year-old Serena won her 16th and 17th Grand Slams, at Roland Garros and the US Open, respectively, as part of WTA-best 11 titles won in 2013. With her wins came a shattering of the record for prize money for a female player in one season, at more than $12.3 million, also the third-highest total of all-time for any player, behind just Novak Djokovic in 2011 and 2012.
The Bryans accomplished a never-before-seen feat in men's doubles, capturing the 'Golden Slam.' They won the 2013 Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon to go with their 2012 US Open and Olympic crowns, making them the first men's doubles team in history to hold all four Slam titles, plus the Olympic title, at the same time. In addition, they kept adding to their own records, with 11 titles to bring their career haul to a record 93 together.
The rest of the American contingent posted impressive results as well, with John Isner capturing two titles, in Houston and Atlanta, to finish as the world No. 14 and top-ranked American man. Sloane Stephens, Jamie Hampton, Madison Keys and Alison Riske were just a few of the American women who had breakout seasons on the WTA tour, as the U.S. boasted the most women in the main draws at Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open and finished the season with more women in the Top 100 (11) than any other nation.
In team play, the U.S. Davis Cup and Fed Cup squads did their country proud, fighting each match and for every point. They didn't come home with the 2013 titles, but it just makes them more determined to do so in 2014.
And the tennis world said goodbye to an American star, as former world No. 4 and Davis Cup champion James Blake retired after 14 great years in professional tennis. The humanitarian and hometown star closed the curtain on his career at the US Open after being one of the stalwarts of U.S. men's tennis for more than a decade and one of the nicest guys in tennis.

I have read all the messages about banging pipes but have not seen my problem. The ganging occurs in the middle of the night, one occurance and for about 5 seconds. I happens frequently although not every night. Since it happens in the night, no appliances are on nor hot water running. It happens with the heat on and AC on. We had a new gas furnace installed and it has happend since then. Incidently, the toilet has a tendency to run and the other bathroom makes a funny noise when flushed. Any advice for a lay person

The only time that Thomas Kinkade ever published a duet piece of a cottage at dawn and dusk, this duo of painting was awarded the 1993 Collectors Edition Award of Excellence. Both paintings were originally released in '93 as part of the Moments of Glory Collection.
The prints have been gelled to give the paper a textured appearance.
Glory of Morning
"For me, the quality of light is a delight! Morning light is warm with the energy of a new day, yet the cool air is heavy with mist. My Glory of Morning sparkles with the light of just such a morning - warm light filtered through myriad tiny water drops until the colors glisten. You can see that light reflected on the flowers of a fabulous garden, each color so vibrant that the garden becomes a living rainbow. Flowers, artists and Kinkade collectors all delight to the glories of a lovely morning."
-Artist Thomas Kinkade
Glory of Evening
"I painted Glory of Morning and Glory of Evening as a pair. Both explore the subtleties of transitional light, when the sky flames with a special radiance, when colors are heightened and shadows dance on the ground. But Glory of Evening is as different from its companion-piece as sunset is from sunrise. The dust of a busy day, and its low-lying clouds, reflect the violet of sunset. That violet radiance colors the garden flowers, deepening their hues. Such glorious evenings as this lay a purple cloak upon the land... and every home becomes a castle."
-Artist Thomas Kinkade

Our research work is focused on a bacterium, Streptococcus mutans, which colonizes the human mouth from the time of tooth eruption until death. The persistence of the organism is remarkable and our efforts are directed to learning the biological means by which it chronically infects virtually every person in the developed nations. The infection requires two relatively simple-minded objectives: bind to tooth surfaces and then survive in the mouth. However, the mouth is a fairly inhospitable environment, containing between 400 and 500 competing bacterial species, volumes of saliva that are swallowed, desquamating soft tissue surfaces, and the swallowing of food (and adsorbed bacteria) as a bolus. Irreversible binding of tooth surfaces occurs by the action of extracellular enzymes produced by S. mutans, the glucosyltransferases (GTFs). These enzymes catalyze the conversion of sucrose, supplied in our diets, to long-chain, insoluble glucans that serve as the molecular scaffold for the formation of dental plaque. If not removed, physically from teeth, the growing mesh of glucan, food particles, bacteria, and salivary constituents continues to accumulate and forms a biofilm referred to as dental plaque. As plaque builds up, S. mutans becomes protected from the flushing effects of saliva and swallowing. In its protected niche, S. mutans metabolism of sugar results in the formation of organic acids and the rapid acidification of the surrounding milieu. As pH values plummet, several orders of magnitude in just seconds, S. mutans begins its adaptation to life at low pH values, where surrounding bacteria can not compete. Our work is in understanding the mechanisms of low pH adaptation and how it relates to bacterial virulence in biofilms.

On Yom Tov, my sister-inlaw and her family came over for a meal and I served these cabbage wontons. I had saut
- 2 Tbsp oil -
- 1 large onion, diced -
- 1 pkg. (16 oz.) shredded white cabbage -
- 1 tsp salt -
- 1 tsp pepper -
- 2 tsp sugar -
- 1 package wonton wrappers (about 30 wrappers) -
- Additional canola or olive oil for deep-frying -
1. In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Sauté the onions and cabbage over very low heat until the onions become transparent and the cabbage is soft. Add salt, pepper and sugar and mix. Let cook for a few more minutes and set aside to cool.
2. Set up six wrappers at a time in front of you. Brush gently with a little bit of water, just enough to moisten them. Place one teaspoonful of the cabbage filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold it in half to make a triangle and press the edges to close. Position the triangle so that the longest side is facing up. Take the two corners and cross them one on top of the other. Dip your index finger into a bowl of water and dampen the place where the corners cross over, using it as glue to hold them together. (Alternatively, you can create a "beggar's purse" by just gathering all the corners together and pinching them together over the filling.)
3. Heat either canola or peanut oil in a deep, medium-sized pot. Make sure your oil is really hot, or else the wontons won't fry properly. Place the wontons in the oil, one at a time. When they are ready, they will float to the top. Make sure they are a nice, goldenbrown color and remove with a slotted spoon. Place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
NOTE: You can test whether the oil is ready by spritzing a tiny bit of water into the pot of
hot oil. The oil is hot when the water hits it and sizzles!

She is also an EMT and on call much of the time. She doesn't take patrons on days she's on call in case she needs to rush off. Barb enjoys the small town life of Emery and the peace and quiet the town affords. She enjoys watching her patrons reactions as they see their new look.
The permanent make-up lasts for approximately five years afterwhich time it fades. Barb does touch up work also. She went to school to learn how to do the make-up and is licensed and certified. After the dye is in place Barb coats the treated skin with Vaseline. This helps seal the skin and keeps it clean. The Vaseline must be kept on constantly for one week to allow the skin to heal.
There is a scraping tool she uses to scrape the skin and work the dye into the skin. The skin is numbed with a topical solution before the scraping takes place.
The whole procedure takes a couple of hours and patrons report it's well worth the time. Barb can be reached at 286-2215. Her shop is warm, friendly and inviting as the walls are decorated with crocheted doilies which Barb works on any time she sits down.
Barb said, "I've had a lot of different people have this done. I've had young people as well as grandmas just wanting to look their best come in." It's fun, it doesn't hurt much and just gives you a little extra sparkle.

Pacific BlueâS First Trans-Tasman Flight Takes Off29/01/2004
New International Carrier Means High Fares Are No Longer A Barrier
Pacific Blue's first flight will take off from Christchurch today at 11.00am, offering the same unique service style that has been so popular in Australia and will now be available on the trans-Tasman markets.
The first flight from Christchurch to Brisbane will take off following a fun-filled "Queensland Beach Party" themed launch celebration ceremony and send-off.
Among those on hand to celebrate the historic first flight will be the Prime Minister of New Zealand, The RT Honourable Helen Clark, Pacific Blue CEO, Tony Marks and David Huttner, Head of Strategy and Communications, Virgin Blue.
The inaugural flight heralds the first step into the international market following the successful launch of domestic carrier Virgin Blue in August 2000.
Pacific Blue will initially fly daily between Christchurch and Brisbane but will shortly expand its international flight options with the introduction of direct flights between Christchurch and Melbourne on March 4 as well as Christchurch and Sydney on March 10. The airline's direct daily Wellington - Sydney flights will also take off on March 10.
Mid-Week Mini-Fares between Christchurch and Brisbane start from $169* one-way on the net, making travelling to Australia as affordable and easy as jumping on a Virgin Blue flight when they're in Australia.
Among the big winners will be Kiwi's with friends and family in Australia, as well as New Zealand tourists keen to take advantage of the stunning beaches, shopping and cultural activities available in Australia.
Pacific Blue CEO, Tony Marks said, "It's all about taking the success of the Virgin Blue product and emulating it across the Tasman to provide the people in both Australia and New Zealand with more flight options and more destinations."
Pacific Blue Cabin Crew have spent the past month flying in Australia with their Virgin Blue counterparts as part of their training to ensure the same "Virgin flair" and outstanding customer service standards are shared by both carriers.
Tony added, "Our team is extremely enthusiastic and motivated which will guarantee a great experience for Guests who choose to fly with Pacific Blue. I can tell you this…flying with us will never be boring!
"We are gearing up to give all the carriers on the trans-Tasman a run for their money and believe it's about time some fresh competition gave the market a bit of a shake-up. We believe the future of air travel worldwide lies with low fare carriers that provide a value-for-money, outstanding and innovative product."
David Huttner, Head of Virgin Blue Strategy and Communications, said, "A tad ironic is how I would describe the recent move by other airlines to cut their trans-Tasman air fares.
While we find the imitation flattering, we think travellers will see through it and realise that other airlines haven't reduced fares because they suddenly think it's a nice thing to do. Traditional or "dinosaur" airlines are beginning to recognise that Virgin Blue and Pacific Blue have the right formula for future viability, and competition is forcing them to provide better fares to the benefit of the travelling public."
He added, "Australia is the most popular international destination for New Zealanders while New Zealand is where the majority of Australians go when they travel off-shore. We are confident the launch of Pacific Blue will get more people travelling between the two countries, whether to visit family and friends or sample the plethora of tourist options at both ends of the trans-Tasman market."
The Australia-New Zealand route is Pacific Blue's first international foray but the carrier is also evaluating the potential of a number of other fantastic South Pacific destinations.
Pacific Blue is a New Zealand based low fare carrier operating a fleet of bright red, brand new Boeing 737-800 aircraft, emblazoned with flypacificblue.com on the side. The aircraft are fresh from the Boeing factory in Seattle and carry the most
modern technology in the South Pacific. The aircraft carry 180 Guests and feature leather seats pitched to 31" or more. Bookings can be made by logging on to www.flypacificblue.com, by calling 13 16 45 or by contacting your local travel agent.
* Mid-Week Mini-Fares are for travel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays only. Fares are subject to availability and may not be available on all flights or peak days.
Please note from 21 March 2004 the schedule will change due to daylight saving time.
As per industry practice all fares in New Zealand are shown in NZ$ and exclude all taxes and charges
Everyday Low Fares:
Mid-Week Mini-Fare: NZ$169*
Fair fare (lead in price): NZ$189*
Fully flexible fare: NZ$349*
* Fares are quoted ex-New Zealand one way on the net or $10 more by phone (all prices and charges are in NZD).

Lee County Schools' "Impressions" will be on display until March 14.
By BOBBY PEPPER
Daily Journal
TUPELO – With so many works of art to see, aspiring artist Courtney Storey cherished her visit to the Lee County Schools' "Impressions" exhibit Thursday night.
"I like it because I get to see all the neat art," said the Shannon Primary School second-grader, who was accompanied by her mother, Paula. "I love art. I want to be an artist when I grow up."
Courtney's drawing of her teacher, Ashley Greer, was one the nearly 600 pieces on display during the opening reception at the GumTree Museum of Art. An estimated crowd of at least 700 viewed paintings, sculptures and other works by students in first through sixth grade.
Gena Yarbrough, Lee County Schools' elementary art coordinator, said a large crowd began gathering for the two-hour reception before the 5 p.m. start.
"It was amazing. I'm just shocked," she said. "This was the biggest turnout we've ever had, and it's getting bigger every year."
The exhibit includes pieces by students at Shannon Primary, Shannon Elementary, Saltillo Primary, Saltillo Elementary, Mooreville Elementary, Verona Elementary and Plantersville Middle schools.
"Impressions" will continue through March 14.

Peak weekend and the big move
Mileage: 78.0 and 65.3
January mileage: 833.8
February mileage: 65.3
Hours: 8:15 and 8:00
Temperature: 8 and 20
This week, I learned an important lesson ... do not try to peak out your training and move to a new apartment in the same weekend. I don't know what's more exhausting: Hauling all the pieces to a king-sized bed a half block over glare ice; making dozens of weighted-down trips up two flights of stairs; cycling two consecutive eight-hour days; or attempting to organize a glut of stuff in an apartment already occupied by somebody else. I am going to go ahead and say the last task is the most exhausting. It's the only task not yet completed.
Still, I have been terribly busy, so I'm sorry to the people I owe e-mails and phone calls to. I don't even have much time to blog right now. But I had a encouraging, successful weekend of training in two very different conditions: Cold and clear, then warmer and snowy. I thought I'd throw in a picture dump of sorts right now, and maybe I'll have time to blather about it later. Enjoy.
I normally don't ride this close to the glacier, but I couldn't resist.
Eagle Beach wouldn't be such a bad winter camp spot.
There's Romeo, sitting in the snow. I'm really starting to get attached to this wolf. I wonder if he would let me take him home? Just kidding. My cats would hate that.
I didn't load down my bike this weekend, if only because I can't find half my gear. Hopefully it pops up from the crush of possessions in time for the race.
Lots of fresh snow made the riding extra slow today. But it still amazes me that I can even ride at all once the narrow trails have been generously powder-dusted. I've now used three different types of bikes for my winter riding. They've all had their advantages and disadvantages, but this Pugsley is truly the alpha bike.

nice pics, jill.... don't stress yourself out with all that activity!ReplyDelete
thanks for the new pics, I can't wait to be there. fyi-I think it's you in the pic in the blog title for fat cyclist? I am sure you didReplyDelete
Best of luck in the race! I live in Grand Junction, CO. I hang out on Fatty's blog from time to time, as I am his brother-in-law. I am also an acquaintance of one Mike Curiak, of Iditabike fame. He has done it a few times, and knowing his capacity for endurance, gives me a hint of what you must be made of. It must be good to be tough.ReplyDelete
great pics@! Man, you are one tough cookie!ReplyDelete
You are incredible. I've enjoyed every post and the pics are amazing. Thanks for the inspiration - just turned my old hard tail into my winter commuter. Check out the pics of my 2 yr old future snow biker: http://www.ericmoody.blogspot.com/
Keep up the hard work and good luck!!
Thanks for sharing Romeo's story with the rest of us. I hope he fares well. He does seem to be so lonely.ReplyDelete
Growing up in northern Minnesota I often had the opportunity to hear wolves howl on those cold winter nights. Over the years I've grown to be quite enamored with the species. I'm looking forward to getting up to the Gunflint Trail later this month. I miss it immensely.
Once again, I wish you well in your endeavor and hope that all the details and plans are falling into place. I look forward to following your progress.
Nigity - "Always keep a smile in your heart."
- Micheline9:09 PM
It was only a matter of time before I left a post wishing you luck with your training and the upcoming Iditabike....So Good Luck! Velonews turned me to your blog and since then I've been hooked by your photos and writings. I live in Mackenzie BC, we are just coming out of a cold snap and should be receiving a good dump of snow this week, so not only am I looking forward to some great powder riding on my snowboard at the local hill but to also get back on my bike (in less severe temps) and that I owe to you. Thanks for the inspiration, I'm loving the bike rides short as they may be.ReplyDelete
Take care and remember to taper.
Mich :)
Really enjoying your blog, Jill. Fantastic photos and now, Romeo the wolf!ReplyDelete

By The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — A wake is planned Monday for five young siblings who died when a sport utility vehicle driven by their father careened off an eastern Mississippi road and into a creek.
The wake is scheduled to start at 2 p.m. at the Pearl River Facility Building in Choctaw. Their funeral is scheduled for Wednesday at the same location.
A funeral for Dianne Chickaway, 380, a sixth victim of Saturday's deadly crash near Philadelphia, is set for Thursday at Hopewell Baptist Church in Leake County.
All were members of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.
The children who died were identified as 9-year-old Daisyanna John; 8-year-old Duane John; 7-year-old Bobby John; 4-year-old Quinton John; and 18-month-old Kekambas John.
A tribe spokeswoman said four of the five children attended Pearl River Elementary School.
Master Sgt. Johnny Poulos, a Highway Patrol spokesman, said an accident reconstruction team was at the scene on Sunday.
"We are in the process of determining what contributed to the crash. Once that information is compiled, all the results are turned over to the Neshoba County Sheriff's Department," Poulos said Monday.
Poulos said accident reconstruction investigations usually take a week or two to complete.

This paper discusses the market dynamics that are driving integration of two highly complementary enterprise software solutions: business intelligence (BI) and geographic information system (GIS) technology. It also outlines the benefits of such an integration and how to easily enable it with Esri® Location Analytics.
BI is a priority for organizations interested in gaining a competitive advantage. BI leverages corporate data and strategically equips knowledge workers with insights that drive sound business decisions.
As BI has matured, the reach of GIS has expanded significantly as well. In addition to specialty IT groups, GIS provides agility to a multitude of departments in many industries. It allows users to visualize and intelligently analyze historically underutilized data in ways not typically seen in traditional BI implementations.
Given the complementary natures of BI and GIS, the adoption of geographic analysis to enhance business intelligence is growing rapidly. Through the fusion of these two enterprise technologies, organizations can visualize and analyze key business data through "smart" maps to discover patterns and trends that would have been easily overlooked with traditional BI tables and charts.
In spite of the steady technological progression in the BI market, few organizations have made strides in integrating GIS technologies with business intelligence, even though there are obvious synergies between these two disciplines. However, given technological advances and the advent of enterprise-scale, high-performance, web-based solutions in both domains, the fit for BI and GIS presents a timely opportunity.

Soo cute, but sooo uncomfortable
"I am really bummed to have to write bad review of these shoes. I think they are absolutely adorable and very versatile. BUT, they are sooo painful! I kept them at the beginning hoping they would stretch and become more comfortable, but after at least six times wearing them, they still make by big toes blister and even bleed along the inside edges of the peeptoe! Lame!"

Skip to comments.Petraeus helps whistleblower's unstable twin in nasty custody fight
Posted on 11/13/2012 6:31:23 AM PST by RummyChick
Gen. David Petraeus sure loved helping his lady friends.
While he was director of the CIA, Petraeus wrote a letter supporting the child-custody fight of the psychologically unstable twin sister of his close friend Jill Kelley whose bombshell claims of being threatened by his lover led to the top spys resignation last week, sources told The Post.
The four-star generals letter to the court written in the past two months supported a motion to overturn a ruling made nearly a year earlier by a judge who resoundingly denied custody to Kelleys sister, Natalie Khawam, because of serious reservations about her honesty and mental stability, court records show.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Oh, and I might mention that her ex husband was a Bush appointee.
Speaking of emails
"That judge also found that Khawam routinely defied court orders to let the child see his dad and sent harassing e-mails to Wolfes friends and business partners that excoriated Mr. Wolfe for being a horrible father and husband.
The judge blasted Khawam for giving false evidence, and noted that a court-ordered shrink had found her domestic-violence allegations to be part of an ever-expanding set of sensational accusations . . . that are so numerous, so extraordinary and [so] distorted that they defy any common-sense view of reality.
Is the CIA Director a part time job? How did he have time to do all this stuff and still run the CIA?
I suppose it's just me, but if I were head of the CIA, I don't think I'd have time to writer rec letters for mentally unstable women in child custody fights. I think I'd have plenty of stuff to keep me busy.
But I guess that's just me.
It's time to start mixing saltpeter into the food of the general staff. I'm sure there are more involved in this or similar messes.
The media is out to destroy Patreaus. They must fear that as a witness he will say some things they do not want said.
Didn't see that coming. ;)
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
Gen. P. must really have some damaging information. Full court press to destroy his legitimacy.
The pic at link is only part of that photo. I have seen the whole pic including the twin sister. I have never seen two adult twins who looked so identical.
Kinda makes you wonder who was really the harasser vis-a-vis the e-mails between Kelley and the General's mistress. When you add in the e-mail relationship between Kelley and the other General, this whole storyline stinks to high heaven and I don't believe a word I'm getting so far.
Somewhere in a locker room shower, Barack Obama and Reggie Love are laughing.
"Petraeus wrote his letter amid a bitter divorce and custody battle between Khawam and Grayson Wolfe, a partner in a DC-based private venture firm."
This Grayson Wolfe???
Founding Partner
Akkadian Private Ventures, LLC
January 2005 Present (7 years 11 months)
Grayson is a founding partner of Akkadian Private Ventues, LLC and its affiliate companies. He has designed and executed developmental projects & transactions principally in the power, oil & gas and water sectors. In addition, he has been involved with project finance, private sector development, privitizations, infrastructure security, and capital markets projects.
Before starting Akkadian, he previously served as Director of Broader Middle East Initiatives and Iraqi Reconstruction and Special Assistant to the Chief Operating Officer at the Export-Import Bank of the United States. He was appointed to the bank by President Bush in June 2002.
Between January and August 2004, Grayson served as Manager of the Private Sector Development Office of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad, Iraq. In this capacity he was directly responsible for implementing a wide range of initiatives to attract foreign direct investment and provide financing to Iraqi companies. During this time, Grayson worked extensively on the ground with senior Iraqi and Kurdish officials, and with the Ministries of Finance, Trade and Oil.
From 2001 to 2002 Wolfe worked for the law firm of Fleischman and Walsh, LLP, where he represented clients engaged in Homeland Security, Telecommunications & Intellectual Property matters. He served as a member of a seven-person team that worked with the North American Railroads and Chlorine Chemical Industries to develop a National Homeland Security Risk Analysis & Management Plan. This plan was adopted by the Class I Freight Railroad CEOs on Dec 6, 2001.
Wolfe served as Legislative Director & Counsel for members of Congress from 1999-2002. He has also served in numerous positions in presidential, federal & state political campaigns. Before this, he worked for Citicorp in Poland focusing on emerging markets & franchise development opportunities in Central and Eastern European countries.
"A judge in November 2011 gave Wolfe sole custody of the couples son after finding that Khawam, a lawyer, repeatedly lied under oath and filed bogus domestic-violence and child-abuse claims against her husband after their one-year marriage began crumbling in 2009."
So given that Grayson was a Bush appointee...
And Karl Rove posted a pic of him and Paula....
Maybe all of this is going to help our side.
I still can't fathom the game plan here.
He done done a good job of that his own damn self!
Hey, I wonder if Grayson knows any shirtless FBI guys?
Someone needs to point the NYPost & rest of MSM to Fauquier County where there is still an active case between "Unstable Twin" Khawam and her ex.
This woman went on to sue an employer over sexual harassment.
I am wondering if that employer gave this info to the NY Post.
The idiots on this forum are destroying this country and the conservative cause. Even CIA directors have personal lives and friends and family, and even CIA directors are allowed to provide character support for someone presenting a case in court.
The administration kept this under wraps so THEY could blackmail Petraeus. It just blew up in their faces.
Will the Libyans please throw a goat into this story to confuse matters more.
In the early 2000's, Grayson was a staffer for former Rep. James E. Rogan (R-CA).
Interesting tidbit:
In 2011, WND Books published Rogan's second memoir, Catching Our Flag: Behind the Scenes of a Presidential Impeachment. Based on Rogan's more than three feet of behind the scenes contemporaneous notes and diaries, he opened this archive for both modern readers and for history by penning the ultimate insiders story on what led a very reluctant House of Representatives to impeach a then-very popular American president. At the time of publication, Rogan revealed that, from his first day on the House Judiciary Committee, he knew if the scandal ever led to impeachment proceedings, future accounts would suffer from faulty memories or faulty motives. To combat the threat of factual or historical error, Rogan kept copious notes during every significant meeting relating to impeachment from his first day on the Committee. He said he did this so there would be a complete and accurate historical chronicle - - the best evidence - - of what really happened behind the scenes in the unfolding drama.
Me either.
So Natalie Khawam was married to Grayson Wolfe whose bio is a little interesting. I guess the General should have stayed away from spookville. Ugh.
Where is Austin Powers when you need him?
LOL! I think you just did, GF!
Hey, catch my post 25. Is Rogan working on another book?
(Couldn't be related to those 20,000-30,000 email pages ... or is it hundreds.)
When did she get divorced? The only pictures I have seen in the yellow dress show a wedding ring.
I really don't know much about Petraeus.
But I do know some about Spookville.
My big unanswered question is: Why the Panetta Switch last year.
Was it because he was controllable via blackmail and Jarrett had a plan?
Very interesting info. How long did Wolfe work for Rogan and when did he marry Natalie Khawam?
Yellow Dress girl is Jill.
Natalie, the bankrupt sister, living with Jill is the ex wife of the Bush appointee.
Jill and Natalie definitely will get their own reality tv show (apparently they were already on one episode of a cooking show).
They have the Kardashian look with far more exciting lives, LOL.
File this under things for which we will ever have answers:
Aside from her relationship with Petraeus, was Broadwell part of Spookville?
WAPO got it wrong:
WaPo correction=> RT @bungdan: "20,000 pages of documents that may contain emails between Kelley and Allen." Big difference.
Broadwell said Petraeus was not happy about not being promoted to the Joint Chiefs and that he asked for the CIA job. That was on the U. of Denver speech. I may have misunderstood what she said.
Does anyone know why Paula was wearing a military outfit in the picture Rove tweeted back in June?
As we speak, Oliver Stone is tying up the movie rights to this fiasco which will whitewash Obama's role. This is already starting to look bigger than Whitewater. All we need is some patriotic American to put the finger on Obama, hopefully before that patriotic American is silenced.
You have to wonder what is currently going on inside of Petraeus' head. An entire career in service of his county going down the tubes because of an indiscretion. His only hope of saving his legacy is if he remembers that his duty to country comes first and he comes clean on the entire Benghazi escapade. Something just doesn't smell right about Petraeus permitting his people to be attacked without any attempt to defend them. He seems like a very hands on military leader and if his people were under direct attack that he would have been in the situation room the moment he learned of the attack.
Is he simply a figure head? (or "was")
Is he simply a figure head? (or "was")
Who sent all these women to infiltrate the Øbama administration?
CIA director? come on . . .
Seems like a lot of "butterfaces" in this story.
perhaps. but even so, he could at least pretend he's working.
we all know that women can go batshit crazy over men.
So is this a case of a just a cat fight over powerful men
Something else.
I think something else.
But..remember the astronaut who wore diapers cross country to kidnap someone her ex was seeing???
This could all be just some crazy women fighting over men.
Well, she graduated from West Point.
Some idiots here would make good MSM "reporters."
Does anybody think it's strange that we ALREADY know more about all these people than we know about Barack Obama?
Are you allowed to wear military stuff like that even when you aren't active military? Her bio indicates she is not active military.
That picture with Rove was taken at a NCSL Leaders Forum
Im just amazed at the level of this compromise.
I thouhgt military officers had better standards.
oh well

This week, the center of New York City's political universe was downtown Brooklyn.
With the dust settling from the mayoral primary, the two candidates who will be on the ballot to replace outgoing Mayor Michael Bloomberg both live in the city's biggest borough.
On Thursday, Republican candidate Joe Lhota shook hands with voters pouring out of the subway a few blocks from his home in Brooklyn Heights.
"When I first moved here 25 years ago, no one wanted to come visit me in Brooklyn," Lhota says. "Now they all live here as well. It's really symbolic, it's emblematic, of how Brooklyn is in ascendancy."
The former city transit chief was born in the Bronx and lived most of his adult life in Brooklyn. Lhota says that definitely affects how he would govern.
"It'll have a big difference," he says. "You gotta listen to the people in the boroughs. That's where most of the people are."
On the other side of the ticket, Democrat Bill de Blasio was in downtown Brooklyn Friday to accept the endorsement of another prominent Brooklyn Democrat, Sen. Chuck Schumer.
Schumer and de Blasio stood on the steps of Brooklyn's Borough Hall in front of a diverse crowd of supporters, including black, white, Latino and Asian leaders from across the city.
"Good morning everybody," Schumer told the crowd. "It's great to be here in — Brooklyn!"
"This is why we are winning this campaign," said de Blasio. "Because we have every type of New Yorker working hard every day to bring about changes we need."
De Blasio, the city's public advocate, did well across New York in the primary election. But he dominated Brooklyn, winning in virtually all of the borough's neighborhoods and demographic groups.
Brooklyn may be the city's biggest borough, with 2.5 million people, but it has traditionally lagged behind Manhattan when it comes to power and prestige.
That's changing, says Carlo Scissura, president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce.
"For a decade, we've been talking about how cool Brooklyn has become," says Scissura. "The artists live here, the writers live here. It was just a matter of time that the political landscape was going to shift here as well. And it has."
The city's politics have definitely changed since the last time a Brooklyn resident was elected mayor, when Abe Beam won in 1973. The neighborhoods along the East River, facing Manhattan, have boomed in the last 20 years.
But in other parts of the borough, unemployment and crime are still high — and many New Yorkers feel left out of the city's recent prosperity, says Douglas Muzzio, who teaches public affairs at Baruch College, part of the City University of New York.
"One of the things that resonated in the de Blasio campaign is that there's inequality," he says. "And the inequality is growing. And that what we need to do as policy-makers is refocus on NOT Manhattan, not the elites, not big business."
Two polls this week show de Blasio with a commanding 40-point lead over Lhota. A lot of de Blasio's success may be connected to fatigue with the third term of Mayor Bloomberg, a Republican turned Independent.
Brenda Haggard of Fort Greene, Brooklyn, says the Bloomberg administration puts Manhattan ahead of the other boroughs.
"He didn't pay attention to Brooklyn at all, if the truth be told," Haggard says. "And he can't be out soon enough for me."
Whoever wins, Kerryann McNish of Crown Heights hopes the next mayor will be more focused on Brooklyn's concerns.
"They're from here, so they know the area," she says. "And what problems we face, definitely, like gun violence. And education. Our school system; it's failing our children."

Training Camp Notebook: Day 3
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 28 2012 6:07PM
As the shoulder pads went on and the Buffalo Bills took to the field, it was the first time to really see some live contact at St. John Fisher College.
And with that first day of pad popping, I focused in on the 1-on-1 drills between the offensive and defensive linemen. There were a couple that stood out, while a few left a ton to be desired. Let's take a look at notes from the third day of practice.
- Day 3 MVPs: Since I focused on the battles at the line of scrimmage, it's fitting to give out one on each side of the ball. For that, I give you Mario Williams and Andy Levitre. I know -- big shocker, right? Williams went up against Sam Young, who was with the first group because of Erik Pears aggravating his groin injury. Williams pretty much ate him for lunch all practice long. It wasn't really a fair fight, but the natural power and movement from Williams was on full display Saturday. I liked the day of Levitre in his 1-on-1 battle against Kyle Williams especially. Levitre displayed good leverage, sustained Williams' bull rush attempts and anchored down to hold him at bay. It was technical blocking at its finest.
- Day 3 LVP: Zebrie Sanders. I think Sanders has jumped early for a false start more times throughout off-season workouts and the first few days at training camp then he's gotten it right. Two straight false starts in the 1-on-1 drill clearly had him thinking about that, and then on the third attempt defensive end Kyle Moore ripped Sanders down to the ground and had an easy shot at the quarterback. Bad day for the rookie.
- I focused in on Aaron Williams on Friday so I wanted to follow up. His day on Saturday was a bit of a roller coaster. Early on he was getting beat like he had been during the first two days of training camp. Then his next rep on a 1-on-1 was against Stevie Johnson. Williams didn't bite on any of Johnson's fakes and played the route perfectly, high-pointing the ball to knock it to the ground. The talent is there, the consistency is not just yet.
- Left tackle Cordy Glenn had a very strong day as the second-team left tackle. He was matched up against Chris Kelsay for the third straight day, and got the better of one of the longest-tenured Bills on the roster throughout the day. He's got such natural talent to go alone with his size. His quicker-than-you-think feet keeps him in the right position and he can engulf the defender. He really looked the part Saturday.
- I'm not sure that Tyler Thigpen or Vince Young are trying to win the backup job. It's been an atrocious start for those two as they battle it out to be Ryan Fitzpatrick's emergency plan if he gets injured. Thigpen highlighted his day of inaccuracy with two straight interceptions thrown directly in to the arms of defenders. Rookie Ron Brooks and safety Nick Sukay were the recipients of a pair of gifts. We'll see if the night practice on Sunday can spark Vince Young in to a solid day.
- I love the way that Derek Hagan gets in and out of his breaks. The veteran wide receiver has been trying to hook on with a team and may have found a home in Buffalo. He runs hard to the spot, is in control of his body and able to break off his breakdown quite smoothly. He bobbled a couple of passes today, and immediately hit the jug machine after practice for a solid 15 minutes. He's not taking this opportunity lightly.
- I mentioned him earlier, but keep an eye out for Kyle Moore. He displays some nice moves to get to the passer in 1-on-1 drills. At 6-foot-6 and 263-pounds, Moore has the prototypical size Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey are always looking for at the defensive end position. With Merriman being such a big question mark, I would not put it past the Bills to keep Moore on the 53-man roster as a fifth defensive end.
Injury Update:
- David Nelson had to leave practice early after injuring what appeared to be his right knee during a collision. He attempted to walk it off, but had to go back to the trainer's room to get it checked out. After practice, Chan Gailey said they didn't believe it had ligament damage, and it may be "like a bruise." I would assume Nelson sits out of practice on Sunday night.
- Shawne Merriman and Erik Pears both missed practice on Saturday. Merriman rolled an ankle on Friday, but wasn't completely hobbled by it according to Gailey. The head coach didn't sound overly concerned about the injury. Pears had minor surgery this off-season on his groin, and aggravated it on Friday. He sat out Saturday as a precaution.
- Defensive tackle Kellen Heard left the field mid-practice. He's been dealing with an ankle injury for some time now.
Practice resumes Sunday for the first night practice at St. John Fisher College. It's slated to start at 6:30 pm. It is open to the public, but you need a ticket to enter the facilities.

Wake up to a savory bacon and asparagus pizza that was meant for breakfast!
Canadian bacon is a lean smoked meat more similar to ham than it is to regular bacon. It comes in cylindrical chunks that can be sliced or cut as well as in a newer pizza-style, pre-sliced shape that's great for this recipe.

I dunno on this. It would have to be a straight statement of fact like "same thing is available _here_ for $x" rather than "what a ripoff, don't buy from this guy, it's only x at _here_". Keeping in mind that this invites fights in B&S threads, bumps their threads, etc. I guess I'll think about it.

Chapter 2
Ahasuerus seeks a new queen—Mordecai presents Esther—Esther pleases the king and is chosen as queen—Mordecai exposes a plot against the king.
1 After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
2 Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:
3 And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:
4 And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.
5 ¶Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;
6 Who had been
7 And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.
8 ¶So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.
10 Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had
11 And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her.
12 ¶Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their
13 Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.
14 In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, which kept the
15 ¶Now when the turn of Esther, the
16 So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
18 Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king.
19 And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai sat in the king's gate.
20 Esther had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him.
21 ¶In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains,

Great Decision!
"When I first saw these online, I fell in love. I first tried to find them in the stores, but to no avail. Not being a big "online shopper", I wanted these so bad that I broke down and ordered them. I got them very quickly and I am very pleased. They fit well, I bought them in my regular size, and they are very comfortable. I have received many compliments!"

Different fit than tie dye "cousin"
"While I LOVE the green and blue tie dye version, the materials used for this sandal are different, creating a different fit. I believe that since it was much looser (didn't hold my foot in place properly), for some reason it fit as thought it were too long for my foot, althought the exact same size as it's "cousin" shoe. It was uncomfortable and too large, so I had to send it back. I do love the colors, however!"

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. -- Sam Querrey notched his first win as the top-ranked American, rallying past Lukasz Kubot, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, at the Sony Open on Saturday.
Because of his play this week at Crandon Park, Querrey is now world No. 20, jumping ahead of fellow American John Isner, who is No. 23 in the world.
After stumbling a bit to open the match -- dropping his first service game and in turn the first set -- Querrey found his stride on his powerful service game, hitting 12 aces against Kubot.

It's Time For The Bodyslam
Cam Davie
April 22 2011 02:38PM
It's time for the Canucks to be David and conquer Goliath once and for all.
The Vancouver Canucks were embarrased out of Rogers Arena last night after another dismal effort. In four straight periods, between the start of the 2nd period of Game 4 and the end of the 2nd period in Game 5, the Canucks were outscored 11-1.
As a result... this morning, I had the following conversation on BBM with my friend. Needless to say, neither of us were happy.
Steve: I hate Luongo. I hate the Sedins. I hate the Canucks. I hate you. I hate my kids. I hate life.
Cam: I hate myself. I hate ice. I hate hockey. I hate sunshine.
Steve: I have tix to game 7. There is zero chance I am going to that game, which the nucks will lose. I already bet Jason $10 that the Hawks win in 7.
Steve: I quit. I quit cheering. I quit hockey pools. I quit eating. I quit breathing.
Cam: I quit writing. I quit laughing. I quit enjoying life.
Steve: I quit touching myself. I quit blinking. I quit moving.
Cam: I quit seeing colours. I quit talking. I quit. I quit quitting.
Ok, so neither of us were obviously serious. But we were both pretty disillusioned after last night's shocking effort (or lack thereof). You really have to wonder why the Canucks would lack such motivation, such effort in such a pivotal game.
Hard to say but there it was. For all of us to watch in disbelief, in frustration. As I said to Kent Wilson, I felt like I was watching a family member die from a terminal illness, while his life-saving meds are on his nightside table. And all the while, the evil Nurse Ratched is pushing the meds one inch further out of his reach and laughing while she does it.
You have to hope that the Canucks, after being ragdolled for two straight games and left bloodied and bruised, will pick themselves up off the mat and kick their tormenting bully right in the balls. Someone on this team has to get this group going. Be it Luongo, or the captain Henrik, or Kesler, or coach Vigneault. SOMEONE has to start the rallying cry to turn this battle around. Because right now, the Canucks are inching ever so close to being pinned... again.
In the third installment of this playoff matchup, I harken back to another famous third installment - Wrestlemania III. It's time for our Canucks - our Hulk Hogan, our champions of the regular season - to finally pick up their Andre the Giant and give their fans what they've been waiting for. The bodyslam of a lifetime.
@ Cam
Classic Hulk Hogan hahaha. Can't wait for game 6, I just hope that game isn't a blow out by either team.
Andre agreed to let HH take the title. This hockey series is not scripted, although is an interesting looking sequel.
April 22 2011, 05:24PM
The 'Hawks, for all their impressiveness, are only half way there.
Of course that's a lot closer than they were two games ago.
