La Verdad Oculta EP74 12/30/2010 – Ridiculously good-looking folks in the seaside Paradise
* Bertha sneaks into the Genovés villa to ransack Mario's desk. When she leaves the study, she meets David and his admirers, who's just arrived back from the hospital. Busted. However, she plays the innocent girl whose intentions are purer than snow till death and leaves the house. Alejandra shows up at the stairs with a suitcase and she says goodbye to everyone.
*In the neighbouring house there's another pretty girl who says goodbye to her family. After she leaves very depressed Chicles begins asking Juan José about the sea. The big guy notices the kid's sadness and he decides that Chicles is going with them to the sea.
* David tells Abelardo that now he completely trusts Gabriela and he knows how stupid his jealousy was. Abelardo says his feeling were natural, there were so many people who tried to mess with his mind. Dora and Gaby enter the room and the young couple make Dora melt twice by calling her Mom and mother-in-law.
* Caramelo, uncle Mauricio and auntie Elsa arrive at Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. Cara can't wait more, she wants to see the water! The two girls run to the beach and they look at the beautiful sea like they were standing in front of the eighth wonder of the world.
* While the girls are having fun in the water, Garnica, Juan José, Alejandra and Chicles also arrive at the hotel. Alejandra becomes very jealous when she realizes Elsa is going to spend the holiday with them and Chicles shows too much interest in Garnica's strange suitcase.
* In the Guilléns' flat Gabriela learns more details about her mother's death. Fausto tells her Adolfo did the same to Marta as he did to Gaby, he tried to use her for smuggling. Maybe she threatened him with calling the police and that's why he killed her. He begs Gaby to not tell Julieta about it but Gaby says her sister has every right to know about their past, and by the way, she's already told her everything she knows. Her father has to trust the people who love him. Fausto thanks to her for understanding and loving him.
* Late in the night the lovebirds take a walk on the shore. JJ would like to know why doesn't Alejandra want to stay with him in his apartment. Maybe because he has to work and they can't leave Chicles alone anyway? However, he can visit her anytime in her room. That sounds great! And now let's talk about her famous tiny bikinis…
* Zaida calls Garnica: guess who's she just met? Adolfo Ávila! She heard a few things about their businesses… and a letter. Garnica warns her to be careful and don't dare side with Adolfo. Don't forget, he got her out of prison! Anyway, the letter is about Carlos Ávila and Juan José Victoria's innocence, yaddayaddayadda.
* While Gaby and Dora are building the perfect mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship in the kitchen, FaustoMario and David talk about how strange life is. If he hadn't fleed, he would've ended up in a prison and his daughters would've been raised in an orphanage. David objects, Mario wouldn't have let that happen, he would've taken care of her. Yes, but then they would've been raised as siblings, says Fausto. Gaby comes in with dinner and FaustoMario leaves. David mentions his father is very tired, that's why they need her help so much. Gaby swears she'll do everything she can to be useful. Oh yeah, smiles David, he knows she will.
* Next morning Alejandra shows up at the swimming pool wearing one of her cute, tiny, small, little, chiquitito bikinis. Juan José eyes almost pop out of his head, and after accepting the fact that he has work to do and he has to leave his hot, sunbathing girl alone and 85% naked, he joins Garnica and Medina.
* In Mexico City Leonardo and Paulita, aka Team "We are cool, we are brilliant and we want a new wife and mommy" show up at Julieta's doorstep to ask her to join them on their entertaining father-daughter day at the funfair. Of course! While she's looking for her purse in the bedroom, Paula says she likes Juli and thinks she and her father should become a couple. Shh, shh, psst!
* The members of The Rich Club have their first official business meeting. Medina and engineer Gustamante know exactly what they are talking about, Garnica knows what he wants to achieve with the project, but Juan José doesn't understand much about the negotiations. He gets a phonecall from Asunción and they are talking about "that guy" while Garnica is listenting to his words tensely.
* Julieta and the Faidellas have a great day together. Sunshine, fun, delicious food, meaningful stares, caresses and a heartwarming hand-kiss.
* At the seaside JJ goes back to Alejandra and he admits he sucks at business stuff. Alejandra offers him her help, which he gladly accepts. Now they can be together day and night... Especially at night. Their conversation is interrupted by Moby Dick of Jalisco who wants to join Caramelo on the beach. The air freezes for a second as Alejandra imagines Juan José and his ex best friend spending time together, but JJ quickly gets rid of both her jealousy and his clothes. *Viewerville: two awesome bodies*Down on the beach they meet sunbathing Elsa *three awesome bodies* and Caramelo, whose beautiful sand castle is immediately ruined by Moby Chicles. The adults act like puzzled teenagers from high school: jealous Alejandra plays the seductive alpha female cheerleader, JJ tries to act like he isn't even there, and Elsa wishes she was on the other side of the world at the moment. Medina shows up, too *four awesome bodies but we hate that shirt*, he notices Elsa's strange expression but he manages to cheer her up by paying her sweet compliments.
* In the snack bar mini detective Paulita asks Leo about what happened to his arm. Oh, it was just an accident, a colleague of him shot him while they were practicing. Does he like his job? Very much, darling. Isn't it dangerous? Yes, a little bit, but nothing bad can happen to them in their home. Doesn't he want to return the ranch? Que? A ranch? The Faidellas tell Julieta they have a farm in the countryside and they invite her and Fausto for a vacation someday. *Viewerville: that would be Soy tu stud 2*
*After a short truce the kids bicker again – now about letters and writing. Mauricio asks Elsa about Chicles and invites her for a romantic dinner. Juan José surely would take care of Caramelo while they are away.
* Speaking of Juan José, he is in his apartment talking with Asunción on phone. The two furious kids storm into the room, and after giving the phone to Caramelo JJ tries to teach Chicles how to (and how not to) treat a little girl.
* In the Genovés villa Fausto visits his Gabriela and David. Everything goes well until Gaby asks him why he is so sure that Adolfo killed her mother. Because she ripped off his cuff-link. Does she remember the cuff-link that was stolen from their flat? And Carlos's ring? They look exactly the same. Great… But he did he got that cuff-link? He said he hadn't seen Marta dead. Es que, es que… A friend of him found it. Who? Oh, don't ask more, my child. However, this time David also encourages Fausto to tell the truth, so he confesses it was Mario who found the cuff-link. WHAT? Don Mario knew her mother?! And did he know Fausto, too?

By the way, loved the title. It was almost too much to bear, all those gorgeous bods on the beach and poolside.
Off to bed now. Goognight. Happy New Year!
I won't be at home today, the recap will be ready tomorrow.
Hey, I found 1 (one!) short scene from YCEM that was't dubbed to Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic or Hungarian. Enjoy. :)
Happy New Year!
I won't be home all weekend but I'll be back to comment on monday. Our new year in Veracruz is going to start warm it seems, we are at 32°C (89.6 °F).
Thanks for the clip Aribeth, young EY was cute. I guess it's my age that I do prefer him younger but he looked great this episode with his hair all natural. And aw, Ernesto Alonso, there will never be another producer like him :(. Liliana Abud's writing wasn't that crappy back them, I wonder if Mejía asks for all the ridiculousness to happen in his novelas.
Jeri, including your dear father in my Music City Bowl report, UT vs NC, "we" lost in the last second of the game! On a happier note, the tail gait was great, the 7-layer dip wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be. I'm never going to buy Jack's Special Salsa again though.
Someone involved in this novela really knows human nature. Isn't it just like a little boy to jump on someone's sand castle not once but twice and then say it wasn't really a castle? Little Caramelo was having a great time but needed to talk to "daddy" Limon on the phone, Ale was jealous of Elsa and showed it and Elsa was insecure about being bigger that Ale...all too funny and real.
We have so many good detectives in the novela, Leo, Ramon, Gabi, Paula, and now Chicles, he has Garnica's number!
Yes, our Gabi will not rest until she gets to the bottom of everything. I'm sure we all got the same queasy feeling when she was hugging Fausto calling him her father, I dread it when the other shoe drops, this will be a extremely tough revelation for her. While biological confusions are a staple in the novela world, this one is more troubling for some reason, maybe it is because I like Gabi so much.
It is quite complete up to that time. I don't think that it will take you that long to catch up, there aren't that many players and I think you'll see the love and kindness among the characters even without knowing each detail.. Besides, there are many "computer brains" here (not me!) that can fill you in on the smaller stuff. You're a grandmother like I am and immediately you will see the CUTEST and most realistic children in LVO, they are really fun. One, Caramelo, looks just like Shirley Temple.
I so hope you join us, I'd love to hear your great comments again!!! Cheryl and Karen are right, this is great novela!!! I honestly think that you will LOVE it.
I just spent the warmest day we've had this December (upper 40s) out and about. Jarocha, I envy your weather, but I'm not going to complain given how cold it's been this month. I'm not going out tonight, but instead tomorrow night, for dinner and a concert. I generally like to avoid the New Year's Eve madness.
Judy- I was glad to read over on Llena that you had a great birthday. I'm also glad that you might give LVO a try. It is a good novela and I think you'd enjoy all the mysteries, loving relationships, as well as the eye candy. :)
Sandy- So glad the dip and the football festivities turned out well. I agree that Caramelo and Chicles are realistic and super cute. They do not look like they're acting at all. I chuckled at the beach scene and the yelling and shoving scene in JJ's room. At least Chicles did not shove back. He knows that much.
Both ladies looked great in their suits, and their respective galans only had eyes for them, so there was no need to worry. I have to say that Ale's itsy, bitsy olive polka dot bikini looked very nice on her and not vulgar at all.
Chicles is on the case of Garnica's case. Let's hope the little tike gets hold of the letter somehow. And Paulita, along with Mrs. Gumen, is on the case of getting Leo and Paula together. There has been great progress there.
I noticed that David is keeping his lips sealed instead of telling another lie to Gabi. And she turned to him to try to get her dad to come out with the whole truth. The question is, will Fausto reveal the whole truth to her? It's funny watching him flounder around to come up with a feasable story.
Bertha if she were more ambitious and corrupt could end up a version of Zaida in 20 years or maybe sooner. They both seem willing to do anything with these dangerous older men for riches and apparently Zaida like Bertha has no trouble changing alliances.
I may have missed it, but is Chicles now permanent in JJ's household??? Is this boy one of the sons of Limon's friend???
Vivi, enjoy your "warm" weather while you can! it's very cold here, only in the mid-30's during the day and below freezing at night. That's quite cold for the Pacific NW. I grew up in western Montana so this cold doesn't bother me. The best part is it's not raining and no gray clouds!!! I can finally enjoy blue skies and sunshine. That is a real treat. Sunshine on January 1st - this is going to be a good year. :D
Mauricio is some eye candy isn't he? I sure hope he decides to take his shirt off and go swimming...
I thought it was too funny when JJ decided to go in the water, started stripping down and Ale was frantically trying to get him to stop. She was worried he was going in in his tighty whities. Which, as we all know, would have been okay with the rest of us.
Yeah, you just know that Chicles is going after that briefcase...
JudyB, suffering from a bad case of Football Bowl Game indigestion right now....
The beach scenes in this episode made me yearn for winter to end, though I shouldn't complain about 40s F here.
Vivi, I also felt that David and Fausto realize that what happened, though painful, was meant to be. I interpreted David's head nod as his telling Fausto it's time to tell Gabi the whole truth.
JJ and Ale were so cute together (not to mention smoking hot in their bathing suits). First, he's squeamish about her taking off her cover-up; later, she's squeamish about him stripping down to his tightie whities. A cute reversal. I love that he felt free to admit to her that the business discussion was over his head and accepted her offer to explain stuff (it was over my head too).
Mauricio has so much confidence in himself and that Elsa will come around. Hope it happens soon and, yes, that he takes off his shirt.
Yay, Chicles joins the detectives. Sure wish JJ would stop taking calls about the letter, etc. in front of Garnica.
Aribeth, thanks for the YCEM clip. I've never seen EY's younger work. He's grown older very well -- to me he's sexier now. I think he's like Sean Connery in that he will be sexy for a long, long time.
Judy, here are a couple background bullet points for this week.
*Juan Jose, (EY) is in Puerto Vallarta with Ale his girlfriend investigating a real estate opportunity offered to him by a man named Garnica. Viewerville knows that Garnica is a bad guy. Unbeknownst to JJ, this is the one and same man who has extorted about $10,000,000 pesos from him, Garnica has a letter exonerating JJ of the crime for which he wrongly spent 11 years in prison. We're not sure why, but Garnica has on his real estate investment team a really GOOD guy, Medina who is on the trip with his assistant/girlfriend Elsa. Ale and Elsa are jealous of each other due to an early friendship between JJ and Elsa that never went anywhere. We'll most likely see fireworks or at least tensions between the women. Also, both couples brought along adorable children, Caramelo and Chicles who aren't legally theirs, just being cared for by the couples. The little boy took one look at Garnica's evil briefcase that has the exonerating letter, and walked over and started asking questions.....our little 8 or 9 year old (?)Chicles is a mini- detective on the case!
*The other major story line is that David, in a wheel chair and played by Gabriel Soto, after being extremely impulsive and jealous over his beloved wife Gabriela, has finally found an inner calm and trust. I'm sure you read about the prank wedding and resulting separation in Aribeth's summary, but this past week, David found incredible maturity and put Gabi in charge of the family business and is allowing her to work with JJ in his hotel management business. Earlier, his jealousy would have prevented this. All don't know this, especially Gabi, but Mario, David's adoptive father is being impersonated by Fausto, Gabi's father. The truth about all this might be revealed this week. David and Fausto/Mario are in the process of making a fairly strong emotional alliance and David wants Fausto to come clean about everything to his daughter. I'm sure that Aribeth's recap gives plenty of details on the reasons for the impersonation, etc. Oh yes, David, in protecting Gabi, was shot by goons hired by Adolfo, our LVO jewel smuggler and resident novela sociopath.
There are several other plot lines, but these are most likely the major ones for this week. Viewerville, please feel to add or make corrections!
Wow, Zaida, is playing both ends against the middle. Either she is either really smart or really stupid!
Thank you Jeri for the links.
In this episode we saw kids having fun. Elsa and Caramelo had matching outfits at the beach. So very cute. Chicles kept destroying poor little Caramelo's sand castle. Chicles was eyeing Garnica's briefcase and curious about what was inside. Watch out Garnica, looks like you will be outsmarted by a young Chicles and your briefcase will be less one letter, lol.
Asuncion is still cleaning and dusting, and waiting for a phone call from the blackmailer. He should have gone to the beach with the others.
So funny how both Elsa and Ale were both eyeing each other uneasily, and JJ was avoiding any type of contact with Elsa almost as if he didn't know her and didn't know that she would also be there. Hahaha.
I've just finished the recap and sent it to Jeri. Thank you for your patience, my originally one day long new year's eve program lasted for two and a half days.
Welcome, Judy! :)
Wow, Sandy, thank you for updating the summary! :)
I liked that when David told Abelardo how stupid he had been about Gabi, and Abe tried to absolve him by mentioning all the intrigues and lies others told him, David said no matter, he should have considered the sources of that false info- Roberto, Carlos and Bertha. None of them good/trustworthy people. I liked that because it's the kind of logical thing we viewers always say. Nice to see a character with such a capacity for self reflection.
Sandy- I agree that Zaida is playing a dangerous game. But she must feel that Garnica is the better horse to bet on. I think I agree with her. He seems more vicious and vindictive than Adolfo. I wouldn't want to cross him either.
My favorite scene I think was Elsa and Caramelo both seeing the ocean for the first time and playing in it. To them it really was the eight wonder of the world like Aribeth so wonderfully described it. Both their faces reflected wonder, joy and excitement and you picked the perfect pictures of that moment. Elsa eyes reflecting the light off the water are also quite beautiful.
This episode was truly delightful
with the visit to the beach. I have been to Playa del Carmen and
thought this water looked similar;
the color of the water was gorgeous. I would love to visit PV. One of my friends, who went there last spring, told me it was gorgeous. I priced language schools there - very expensive. Like Vivi, I loved the scene with Elsa and Caramelo gazing
in wonder at the sea which extends "muy lejos." From my perspective, Elsa has gorgeous legs. She appears very natural and real to me. I especially enjoyed the friendly and seductive winks
from EY at commercial time.
Your summary was extremely well written and inclusive of all important details. It appears you have great patience to plan and write this time-consuming post.
I'm interpreting this that you love this novela so much you just cannot resist sharing it with the
late arrivals. That was so kind and caring of you. Others made catch-up summaries a couple of weeks ago. You are all very generous with your time. Happy New Year, Sandy to your family and grandson.(s)
The Zen moment that Fausto and David seem to be having about David and Gabi being destined for each other got me thinking about Elsa's destiny. Her friendship with JJ and desire to keep him out of jail for trumped-up charges led her to meet Mauricio. And her fervor and loyalty to JJ in demanding Mauricio act immediately to clear things up caused Mauricio to become attracted to her. So if there was no JJ in her life, she wouldn't have met Mauricio, the man who will surely wind up being the love of her life.
with all negative comments about Elsa; as much as many wish to see her with kind, caring Mauricio with whom she will no doubt end up,
I find it very realistic that she is carrying the torch for JJ for this length of time. She was in love with him for years, and she cannot shake it yet. That kind of feeling cannot be turned off easily, especially after that kiss
he gave her, which in my opinion was the best kiss of the entire novela thus far. Intellectually, she may know that Mauricio would make a loving, dependable, refined, and very cultured husband, but the appeal of JJ is great, and in my book, as far as looks he's got it all over Mauricio. She'll get there eventually, but I can understand her feelings completely - been there - done that.
Now with regard to Gabi's new wardrobe mentioned in an earlier recap, I must take issue once again. I think the skirts and dresses she is wearing make her look matronly. I would like to see her in some elegant sleek pants and silk blouses. I think the new clothes appear to add pounds. I am
fairly thin and when I have attempted that style, I get the same effect....I think she looked
better in her jeans. Love all the comments..can't resist chirping in.
Floridia, I agree, however I don't think the clothes make Gabi look heavier, I think they make her look much older. I did like her look in jeans and I was always wondering what brand of jeans they were. I mean, the girl's got "junk in her trunk" (I do too!) and her jeans actually fit! I can't find any jeans that fit like that - in the waist as well as the hips! I don't want "mom jeans" and I refuse to wear any that expose... a'hem... "butt cleavage". There's a market out here for whatever brand of jeans Gabi was wearing. :DD
What a great picture of Mauricio! I'm a sucker for dimples and laugh lines. That man is absolutely deee-licious.
Speaking of Gabi's wardrobe--for the first half of this episode, she was in a bright yellow top and some form-fitting jeans. She looked great, not to hippy and definitely not too top heavy.
Then, she changed into a blue dress and all of a sudden she looked--yes--matronly. Someone doing the dailies should have said something to the producer/director to find better dresses for her.
Oh, well, we can't have everything. At least we got three nearly naked, fine-looking bods to view, but Mauricio should have lost his shirt. Maybe he will tonight after they go dancing.
Did anyone notice that EY wasn't the only one winking in this episode? His was at the break. David gave Gabi a really sweet wink when she was giving him his breakfast (Pt.3 at appx. 6 min.)
Floridia, On Elsa, "I find it very realistic that she is carrying the torch for JJ for this length of time." I completely agree, we've all had to talk a friend through a bad loss, and most of us have had to talk ourselves through a bad loss and it takes a while, but.... JJ is obviously madly in love with Ale now, and realistically, Elsa is almost doing to Mauricio what JJ did to her, sending a murky, luke warm message. Am I being too harsh on her? I was patient for a while, but then I thought like Cher said in Moonstruck, "Snap out of it!" Of course, I'm not known for my PATIENCE! (Also, viewerville has seen the opening credits and we think we know the end of the story, so for this reason we might be rushing Elsa a bit!!!) Floridia, thanks for the holiday well wishes, like women all over the universe, I'm glad to be back to normal and yes, I love this novela!
Kate Middleton. I think very few
can wear that style well.
Loved the beach, loved the winks,
and loved the eagle eye of Chicles.

I made a mistake in the comment, calm the fuck down. Stop being a bitch, seriously. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is getting sick of reading your bitch fest. If the red thumbs weren't that big of a deal, then you wouldn't be bitching still. Everyone is thumbing you down because you are being a bitch about the entire thing.

Alceu Valenca & Geraldo Azevedo (Quadrafonico)
CD (Item 415668) Copacabana/Discos Mariposa (Argentina), 1972 — Condition: New Copy
An incredible debut from the team of Alceu Valenca & Geraldo Azevedo – Brazilian songwriters and vocalists, working here with arrangements and production from the legendary Rogerio Duprat! Duprat's style for the record is somewhat similar to his Tropicalia work – particularly in the way that he mixes the fragile, intimate vocal approach of the pair with some oddly-tuned horn bits, earthy percussion, and occasionally sweeping modes that help the tunes drift along on a gentle cloud of darkness. There's a simple, subtle poetry to the whole record – a quality that's not as trippy or experimental as Tropicalia work, but no less compelling – and very much in the spirit of the more introspective Minas Geraes generation. Titles include "Me Da Um Beijo", "Virgem Virginia", "Mister Misterio", "Novena", "Erosao", "Seis Horas", "Planetario", "78 Rotacoes", "Horrivel", and "Talisma". (Note: The CD incorrectly lists the order of the songs – side one has been switched with side two – but other than that, the reissue's a great one!) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Great race. Well organized. There was a solid three miles of 'forest road' on the way up...it was made up of large gravel and small rocks that were hard on the feet. But, it was a small section sandwiched between narrow one track through the pine trees. AWESOME RACE. GREAT POST RACE EVENT TOO!
A few things you need to know before running this marathon: 1) Pay attention to the number of aid stations. It gets hot and you'll want fluid. Bring your own. You'll be glad you did. 2) You're not running this for the medal (very small, very cheap), the shirt (you get a very nice running hat, instead), the mile markers which are non-existent (C'MON MAN!), or the spectators (very few). 3) You are running this because it is challenging and beautiful. 4) Bend is a great town and Central Oregon was very pleasant to visit. You really have to pick your poison and decide what you value in a marathon. If I had run this in a town other than Bend I may give an overall lower rating, but the town and Pisano's Pizza made-up for the marathon's shortcomings. Not sure I'd run it again, but I'd definitely visit the area.
This was my first trail marathon. The course was challenging but well laid-out. The race directors do a good job of organizing this one. I highly recommend it!
An excellent race! Footing was soft dirt and some gravel. "The hill" was a fire road, straight up in one go; view from the top is magnificent. The rest of the race was pretty easy. Lots of pine trees providing shade through most of the course. Weather was awesome - dry, with some clouds, and while the sun felt hot, there were cooling breezes. Post-race pasta and goodies went far beyond my expectations. Spectators were few and far between - very enthusiastic!
I ran the 1/2 marathon and I thought that this race was a blast and the course was perfect. I generally run on mountain bike trails and wilderness trails around Klamath Falls, OR and this was my first time on any of the trails around Bend. My conclusion is that the Bend trails are much more broken in and better maintained. What I mean is that the surface was super smooth and much easier and safer than the rocky trails I am used to (I love our trails - don't get me wrong). The trees along the course seemed to be exquisitely trimmed with trees adjacent to the trail for a fast feel but no branches to whack my head on. Some of the corners even had banked turns - I've never been on a trail like this! The course was almost too well marked - there were little orange flags everywhere. I don't understand how anybody could say it wasn't well marked. There were a few very technical climbs and descents that seem like they would be very challenging on a mountain bike but not bad at all on foot. Be advised, though, that this is real trail running and plenty of people ended up taking unexpected soil samples (with their knees, for example). The 1/2 marathon course consisted of moderate uphill for the first half of the course and similar descent for the second half. This isn't a fast course and I was 10 minutes slower than my last 1/2 in spite of having lost significant weight and being in better shape - so don't expect a PR. Do it because it is a fun race. There was no water (just beer) when I finished but thankfully more water showed up after awhile. The food was excellent. If you run the 1/2 marathon and are a (big) slow runner (like me), expect to be passed by a lot of the marathoners on the descent - the two races share the same course for the last six miles or so and the marathoners have an hour and a half head start. But as usual in a trail run, people were polite and friendly - no problems. I brought my camera and took photos during the race. This site doesn't allow me to post a URL in my review but if you go to Flickr and search for "Haulin Aspen," you'll see the seven mediocre photos I posted.
I ran this race in my quest for the 50 states and loved it. I had heard about Bend in all of the various outdoorsy magazines and finally talked my wife into going. Bend is a great place for a race. From the surrounding volcanoes, to the High Desert Museum, lava tube, Deschutes River float trips, great restaurants and golf courses, Bend has it all. Not to mention the weather - mid 40's to low 70's with no humidity. Being from the South, I loved it. Ah, to the race. The race was very well done. Great organization all the way through, from packet pick-up, to race shuttles. Everything went off on time, and there were plenty of water stops, with more GU and similar products than I have seen at races 5 times as big. Almost every stop had some there. Each stop was well stocked with fluids, volunteers. The post-race spread was great, and in a fantastic park. The race course itself was tough, but not unbearably so, even for a flat-lander like me. The first half is straight up, gradually so for the first 10 miles, and then it really turns up. About the halfway point, though, you turn into the woods and run back downhill on fun, soft, single track until almost mile 25. You finish with a little loop around the park. Overall, this is an extremely well organized, great destination race, surrounded by gorgeous scenery, with fun for the entire family.
I love the new half-marathon course. Plenty of parking, very well organized race, and a challenging course. I loved all of the markers and all of the mileage signs. Perfect! Thank you to everybody who organized and volunteered to make it so enjoyable for all of the runners.
Great community; great views; challenging course. This a real quad killer for those not prepared for the downhills.
A great race overall!! It really is a two-part race - uphill and then downhill. The last 11 miles of the race were by far the most fun of the course with the technical single track. The only thing that could have made this race any better would have been a river/creek crossing! Only suggestions: stock the aid stations for a trial marathon, not a road marathon; inform the 1/2 marathoners not to blare their music to where they can't hear people behind/around them; increase packet pick-up hours (2-6 cuts right into the middle of the day). Post-race food, drinks, etc. were the best/second best I've seen (tied with Flying Monkey). Worth every penny - one to do again, definitely.
I ran this one because there aren't many August marathons to choose from. I was not disappointed! During the first 16 miles of jeep trails, there is some modest climbing and a few steep areas. You also go by a crystal-clear stream, and get to enjoy a view of snowy Mt. Bachelor. Then, hold onto your hat as you cruise down 10 miles of well-surfaced single track. Be careful while you have fun; I saw quite a few people with trail rash from falls. The as-promised 9 aid stations were all well stocked with water and sports drink, and most had goo shots and sports chews. They were staffed buy fun, outdoor enthusiasts (most were parents/students associated with local cross country team). After the race we were all served a full lunch of roast pork, mixed green salad, bow-tie pasta salad, bread and brownies. Flying to Bend (Redmond RDM airport) isn't that tough, with flights from SEA, Portland, LA, SF, DEN, SLC, Los Vegas and the Phoenix area.

AFS Bus At the urging of Hemp-s t e a d Town Presiding S u p e r v i s o r Thomas S. Gulotta, the Nassau County Board of Supervisors has giv6n the County Depart- . ment of Public Works authorization to conduct an engineering study which will lead to improvements in the sludge transmission main which links the Cedar Creek Water Pollution Control Plant in Wantagh with the Bay Park Water Pollution C o n t r o l Plant in East Rockaway. According to Gulotta, in the 13 years since the com-pletion of the 10.5 mile long cast iron transmission main, repeated failures of the sys-tem have occurred resulting in the spillage of sludge or secondary effluent. "Failures of this type," Supervisor Gulotta noted, "cause significant disruption to the sewage treatment pro-cess as well as resulting in increased odors in the sur-rounding communities." Recent studies indicate that the corrosive nature of the surrounding soil has caused the integrity of the piping system to be signifi-cantly undermined. In the last year alone, repeated breaks in the force main in the tunnel area at the Bay Park Plant have caused On Saturday night, July 6, at East Rockaway High School, the AFS Chapters of ERHS and Lynbrook hosted a bus stop for 39 exchange students from many countries such as Ice-land, South America, Israel, J o r d o n , West Germany, Italy, Spain, etc. The above picture shows East Rockaway Supermten-dent of Schools Robert Parry with some of the stu-dents as they completed their pot luck dinner. Na-tive dishes such as La-sagna, swedish meatballs, homemade bread and Ken-tucky Fried Chicken were served. Thanks to Bob Parry, operating difficulties at both plants as well as an increase in noticeable odors. "The Board of Supervi-sors has approved funding for a complete engineering study of possible modifica-tions to the existing force main," Supervisor Gulotta noted. "Completion of this study and the implemeitta-tion of its findings will not only enhance the safety and efficiency of the operations at Cedar Creek and Bay Park, it will mean still further rec'uctions in the odors which must be borne by area residents. Gulotta termed this latest project just another step in the County's efforts to pro-vide residents with essential services while exerting every effort to maintain the qual-ity and integrity of our environment.

Scouting was a way of life for many boys and young men in East Rockaway start-ing with Troop # I in 1940. In a newsrelease in the VOICE, Art Roemer wrote the his-tory of the Troop's begin-ning. Many of the names therein may be familliar to many still living in the Vil-lage today. The Grist Mill museum will feature two special exhibits, this month,, salvuing the -75th. anniver-sary of the Boy scouts of America. East Rockaway's first troop of Boy Scouts was formed back in 1914, just two years after the Boy Scouts of America was offi-c i a l l y c h a r t e r e d as-a national organization by an Act of Congress. Trop 1 was anriong Nassau's original units and with its formation, a tradition of Scouting was s t a r t e d here which was strong enough to carry on through the ups and downs of the past 28 years. Troop 1 was chartered by a committee of men and a group of boys, many of whom are still active in East Rockaway-and not a few have retained their connec-tion with Scouting ever since that time. The original committee was made up of Dr. Jaques, chairman; Mr Sackman, Mr. Phipps, and Dr. Adair. The sponsoring institution was Bethany Congrega-tional Church. The officers were Charles Curtis, Scoutmaster, and Matthew Kuckens and Rus-sell Davison serving at Assistant Scoutmasters. Among the Scouts were the following: George Hunt, Charles Johnson, Henry Bang, Philo Lee, William Reynolds, Charles Gibson, Floyd Magee, David Mor-gan, John Wilke, Howard Mason, James Mount, J a m e s Zimmer, Oliver Langdon and Frederick Schlick. Carried along in a steady wave of enthusiasm the Troop soon reached the standard size with four full Patrols of eight Scouts each. Under the supervision of Harold Oakley in the drums and James Dayton In Fife and bugle, the first drum corps was started and soon became well known not only in the village, but all over the county. Came 1917-and the Uni-ted States entered the World War. For Scouts from Long Island to California there had started the period of wildest activity that the organization has yet known. By Congressional order, the Scouts were mobilized from coast to coast for War Service. Troop 1, East Rockaway, was no exception. In the war years from 1917 to 1919, it made ah er^yiable record only to be reached again if the country is drawn Into another lite and death strug-gle with another nation. In the summers of 1914 and '15 there were great Scout mobilizations at Mineola, where the boys were addressed by Theodore Roosevelt and Dan Beard. Pup tents were staked out and in the three day encampment the scouts were made ready for duty serving the country at home in the case of any emergency. With the declaration of war, the Scouts were pre-pared to do their part instantly. The village was split up into districts and soon many thousands of dollars worth of Liberty Loan bonds and War Stamps were sold by the troop. War gardens were started to raise the needed additional food, since a rationing system had gone into effect and people could only buy limited food supplies. At night there was a grow-ing demand for the services of the drum corps to march in parades followed by the troop -each Scout carrying a burning torch. In the pro-cession came the Troop's hand drawn "covered wagon" trailer and the bicy-cle patrol. Activity and excitement were at a high peak -days which will forever linger in the memo-ries of the Scouts who lived through them. Then came the Armistice and peace in 1919 - the world had changed and been thrown out of joint. Gone were the nervous hectic days of the war years and Troop I quietly relapsed - Scouting had a seven year sleep until Troop 50 started in 1926. . 8 FINEST.

big decision
good evening !
My husband and I take a big decision last monday. We won't breed anymore our female. We decided to stop producing puppies. We will keep our dogs, continues to train them in IPO sport but we stop breeding. It is to difficult sold real working line german shepherd in Québec and it is to difficult for us to deal with all the works we put on puppies without knowing when they will be with their new owner. My husband close the web site because we don't need it anymore. I update my signature. Sorry for the inconvenient, Hélène |

Your dogs are beautiful. Its too bad that the general public doesn't appreciate the many values of a real working line dog.

The MSU Reading Experience is an exciting opportunity to foster the intellectual—and tremendously fun—pursuit of reading at Murray State University. In years past, the event was known as the Freshman Reading Experience. We changed the name because, as we've discovered to our delight, people across the campus community engage in the reading each year, and we want to encourage people university-wide to participate.
The purpose of the MSU Reading Experience is:
- To provide a common academic experience for incoming freshmen.
- To introduce students to intellectual life at, and academic expectations of, Murray State University.
- To foster an active awareness of, and appreciation for, diversity.
- To create a greater sense of community among students, faculty, and staff.
- To establish an appreciation for reading and participating in cultural events.

The 2012 MSU Reading Experience book is Never Let Me Go (2010) by Kazuo Ishiguro. Set in the 1990s, Never Let Me Go weaves the tale of three young people enrolled in a mysterious, even bizarre, English boarding school called Hailsham. The rules are strange and the teachers even more so as we explore the lives of Kathy, Ruth and Tommy. To say more would spoil the suspense of this gripping novel.
Once again this year, the MSU Reading Experience committee has lined up a great series of events related to the novel—a printmaking session, a poetry workshop and a film festival, to name a few—and tied to our theme for 2012-2013, "Humanity and the Humanities." Other special events will include a lecture by professor David Canning regarding bioethics, as well as presentations by members of the humanities faculty about the relevance of the humanities in the 21st century.
