|Jim Price with his wine cooler "cave."
I first met Jim via e-mail when he entered our 35th Anniversary Essay Contest last fall. I read his story (below) and I wanted to learn more about him and his fascinating life.
When I asked him about doing this post, he said it would be nice to be on the other end of an interview because he spent most of his working years as a journalist, including five years as the editor of the Fort Devens Dispatch, back in the 70s, when it was still an Army post.
Altogether, he spent almost 11 years in the Army, stationed at Ft. Devens in Massachusetts, Germany, Greece and training in California and Virginia. After leaving the Army, he worked for various newspapers, and eventually owned his own weekly.
Jim and his wife, Patty, live in southern Washington, just north of Portland, Oregon. Jim is now "retired" but he works half time as the director of the Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center in Stevenson, WA. (See www.columbiagorge.org) It is a state-of-the-art, 23,000-square-foot museum in the heart of the Columbia River National Scenic Area.
|Saddle and Patty
He has a wide variety of hobbies, including baking, hunting wild mushrooms, and fishing. He and his wife also are volunteer puppy raisers for Guide Dogs for the Blind. They have these special dogs from 8 weeks old to 16 months, teaching them basic commands and socializing them. They are currently raising their 5th puppy, Saddle. (Jim said he has had to pick more than one dog hair from one of his cheeses!)
Three years ago, Jim started making cheese and he has become a master at it. (I haven't tasted his cheeses but his family and friends love them, so I think it's safe to assume they're yummy!)
Jim's Essay
| Holding his first chanterelle mushroom-infused cheddar over a couple gallons
of the mushrooms he gathered at the Gifford Pinchot National Forest,
just a few miles from his house
And speaking of thinking, it does that. Makes you think. Not hard, necessarily, but in a good way. It's more like a science project than cooking something.
After I retired a few years back, someone gave my wife a magazine. She was interested in an article on beekeeping. Why, I don't know since we aren't farmers and our garden consist of two tomato plants and a potted zucchini.
Anyway, she left it on the little table in the john and an article on sourdough bread caught my eye. It was a long article and my butt went to sleep but I stuck with it.
Within weeks I had made by own starter (I called him Bob) and was turning out all kinds of breads and even sourdough pancakes. The best thing about baking bread is the instant gratification. I could start right after breakfast and within a few hours be slopping butter onto a steaming slice of pure carbs. Did I mention my large butt? Well, I've got a belly to match.
Twenty pounds later I knew I needed a different hobby. My oldest son is a classically-trained French chef. We were discussing recipes one day when the idea of home-made cheese popped up. I forced a speedy end to our phone conversation and ran to my computer, which is like six feet from my recliner. Google anything about making cheese at home and you can't avoid the New England Cheese Supply Company and Ricki the Cheese Queen. I knew I had found my spiritual guide and my next passion.
Things got off to a good start. I like to tinker and came up with a very functional homemade press that I'm still using some three years later. And my first "farm-house" cheeses were surprisingly good.
Within a few months, however, things began to unravel. My wax job apparently had pinholes and some ugly molds showed up. (Now I'm strictly a vacuum-packed guy.) On another two-pound wheel everything looked perfect. So much so, I gave it to my youngest son, since he so liked my previous cheeses. He saved it for his birthday party, where it was sliced on a platter with crackers.
Later he told me the first inclination something was wrong was the sour look on a friend's face and watching him secretly spit the cheese bite into a convenient plastic beer cup. Something had gone terribly wrong and the entire cheese tasted like bad bread mold.
Thankfully, I got better. And my cheeses are actually pretty good. I give a lot away so I'm sure I have more friends than before I started making cheese, and my new Saturday tradition is the perfect combination of watching college football and creating the next great cheese. This week I get to taste my first chanterelle-mushroom-infused-stirred-curd cheddar. Go Ducks!
|Jim with his smoker
Right now, I am primarily making stirred-curd cheddar, but I am having fun flavoring it with various herbs and spices.
It's all made with 2 gallons of raw milk and Ricki's recipe for stirred-curd cheddar (in Home Cheese Making). The spices are added the same time as the salt. If the spices are salty (Old Bay, for example) I will cut back or eliminate the salt.
Some of my cheeses are:
Pesto (1 tablespoon dried basil & 1 tablespoon minced garlic)
Old Bay (which is a salty spice from New England (2 tablespoons)
Mexican (2 tablespoons of taco seasoning)
No-Salt Herb Blend I buy at Costco (2 tablespoons)
Shallots & Chives (1 tablespoon of each)
The Pesto is probably the most popular, although my wife says the best cheese I make is the stirred-curd with nothing added and aged for at least four months.
I've done Gouda, Swiss, cream cheese, butter, farmhouse cheddar, traditional cheddar, Monterey Jack and fromage blanc. For me, cheese making is strictly a hobby.
I usually make one cheese a weekend. I bought a wine cooler and with a large bowl of water in the bottom for humidity, it makes a good cheese cave. After reading your newsletter a few months ago I made a cold-smoker and am having fun figuring out just the right system for smoking cheese. (My first one was way too strong.)
|Diagram by Judit Repas in Felsozsolca, Hungary
You made a cold smoker?
Yes, you guys ran a story in the Moosletter by a woman who had made one and if I remember right, there was a diagram that she sent in (at left). Years ago (like 30) I was into smoking various meats and I read about making a cold smoker for certain kinds of fish that would also work for cheese. So that was way in the back of my brain, also.
All I did was build a wooden box with a rack inside and a door that slides up and down. The box sits atop a 2X4 stand so it is above the smoker (about 6 feet tall) and then I connected aluminum dryer vent ducting (about 8 feet long) to my Big Chief Smoker. The dryer vent is very thin-walled so it allows the heat to escape but the smoke gets to the box. Works great. I checked with a thermometer and the inside of the box is exactly the same temperature as the outside air.
|Bundles of cream cheese on his draining "contraption"
What is your draining system?
That contraption is nothing more than a wooden frame built to fit my sink that I can hang bundles of curds from for draining. It just sits there, held in place by gravity. Two horizontal legs go to two different window sills, and the vertical leg sits in the sink.
|The mold is sitting on a flat-bottomed strainer.
Your press looks interesting.
It's a stainless pot with a strainer in it. The mold fits on the strainer and the turnbuckles attach to the large red follower. Multiple times I have checked the pressure with a fish scale so I know about how tight to make it for 10, 20, 30 pounds, etc. Works great, cleans up easily, and it cost very little.
Any advice for other cheese makers?
Like just about everything else in life, it's all about the journey. Relax, slow down, learn the process and most importantly, enjoy the doing of it.
One little thing that your readers might enjoy: A few months back my wife bought a package of new sponges from QVC. They are called Scrub Daddy, and they are really great for cheese makers. Bakers, too. I have always used the green and yellow sponges with the scrubbers on the back. The problem is, when you are cleaning up curds (or dough) the pores load up and are hard to clean. The pores on a Scrub Daddy are much larger and the pieces just flow on through. Very easy to rinse out. Anyway, they really work well for me and they are available lots of places and online.
What are your goals?
Eventually, I would love to get into some of the more complicated cheeses, but for now I guess my goal is to just keep getting better and refining my techniques. One of the best things about cheese making is it can be as simple or as complex as you want to make it. For example, the few times I tried I had really bad luck waxing, but I noticed in a photo in your newsletter that this lady was using a vacuum-pack system, which I already owned. So that's what I use now, but I need to try waxing again and see if I can perfect it. So overall, my biggest goal is to learn more but continue having fun making cheese.

Cooking and Baking
Help -- Meat(not so much)balls.
I made meatballs from the recipe in the January issue of Gourmet. (Here's a link if you're curious: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Spaghetti-and-Meatballs-351190)
They tasted delicious -- I really loved the meat mixture -- BUT when I got to the browning the meatballs step, everything literally fell apart. The meatballs did not stay ball shaped at all, and some of them just totally broke apart in the pan. When I was finishing the cooking in the sauce, I was afraid to stir at all, thinking I might just end up with meat sauce after all my hard work.
So -- what am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?

By STEVEN NALLEY
The Greater Starkville Development Partnership Board named a headhunter for an Oktibbeha County economic developer and revealed the possibility of a new, central Golden Triangle Regional Development Authority office at its meeting Thursday.
GSDP Board Chairman Steve Langston said this headhunter, Jorgenson Consulting, was the same company that brought Golden Triangle Development LINK CEO Joe Max Higgins to what was then the Columbus-Lowndes Development LINK. Based in North Carolina, Jorgenson Consulting has clients across the country and more than 20 years of experience, according to its website.
"We expect a good person to come out of that," Langston said. "They are searching nationally. (We hope the hire will) take place very quickly, (but) we don't have an exact date."
Golden Triangle Regional Airport Director Mike Hainsey asked what the end result of the LINK's partnership with Oktibbeha County will be. Oktibbeha County Economic Development Authority President Jack Wallace then said the current Golden Triangle LINK partnership will evolve in two or three years into a new Golden Triangle Regional Development Authority, and a new office complex may come with that evolution.
"When (the GTRDA is) developed, a new board will then decide whether ... they want to leave their present office in the current building in Columbus or ... build a new office building to accommodate the nine-member staff somewhere in the Golden Triangle airport area," Wallace said. "It could be at the airport, it could be around 4-County (Electric Power Association) land, but (it would be) somewhere near the airport to give us a more central location."
Langston said it is important to note while the partnership will strengthen the GSDP's economic development, the LINK will not interfere with the Starkville Convention and Visitors Bureau or the Starkville Chamber of Commerce.
"There is emphasis on not doing anything to pull away from community development efforts," Langston said. "Our (GSDP) has been (made of) three legs. We have two strong legs with the chamber and the CVB. There is great effort being made to make sure we don't pull any strength from those two legs. (The changes exist) to make the third leg, the economic development, strong."
Langston said the Golden Triangle LINK's first meeting with its four new board members representing Oktibbeha County — Langston, Coldwell Banker Associate Broker Michelle Amos, Cadence Bank CAO Mark Abernathy and retired businessperson Zelma Talley — went smoothly. He said he and Amos would also serve on an executive committee within the board of directors, and one notable limitation prevented such candidates as Wallace from being selected.
"This is a private board, and people who have public money cannot be on this board," Langston said. "OCEDA has been our vehicle for economic development for (years, but) because of public monies received there, people like Jack are not able to (be selected)."
The board also heard several reports from Jennifer Gregory, GSDP chief operating officer, and Austin Shafer, GSDP vice president for membership and the chamber of commerce. One new initiative Shafer announced is the Twitter hashtag #SantaShopsStarkville for local Christmas shoppers.
"When they buy a product in Starkville, (they can) snap a picture and send us that on Twitter," Shafer said. "We are going to track that and give away two Gator Bowl tickets (to two random #SantaShopsStarkville participants.)"
Shafer also said the GSDP banquet will be held Feb. 7 at the Hunter Henry Center, with tickets likely to become available at the end of December. Langston said he wants to ensure that the GSDP's new partners in Lowndes and Columbus are able to attend.

Mel would have loved it
A priest with a poets mind
He wrote more than 100 books, was poet laureate of his homeland and blazed a trail for generations of writers. But most Americans have never heard of Rudolf Dilong, the literary legend who was first and foremost a friar.
One hundred years after his birth on Aug. 1, 1905, Rudy is best remembered by the people of Slovakiathe country he fled to avoid Communist persecutionand by the friars of the Vice Province of the Most Holy Savior, with whom he spent the last years of his life. (Holy Savior has been part of St. John the Baptist Province since 2000.)
He was a priest with a poets mind, says friar John Joseph Gonchar. He was an artist. He played the organ. He did some nice drawings. He was eccentric in the best sense of the word.
Born and raised in Trstena, Slovakia, Rudolf Alphonse Dilong took up writing as a creative outlet for grief after the deaths of his mother and his beloved older sister. He entered the Franciscan novitiate at 15, explaining that I found a certain atmosphere of peace and prayer. I was inspired to be creative, to write, in this Franciscan atmosphere. Friar Paul Wild was a teen-ager in Slovakia when he first heard of Dilong. I got only rumors about his activities as a weird young Franciscan, one who rode a motorcycle to poetry readings he did for students.
Rudys post-ordination assignment was as a teacher of religion; he was drafted as a military chaplain in World War II and sent to the Russian front. All the while, he did what he loved best: He wrote poetryvolumes of itas well as plays and prose. Poetry writing was his baby and addiction, not only a hobby, Paul says. Religious in nature, the work was bold and inventive, the cutting edge of Catholic Modernism in Slovakia.
In the 1930s and 40s his poems were studied, quoted and frequently reprinted, according to friar Bill Reisteter. He was a very strongly patriotic Slovak, says John Joseph, and therefore at odds with an oppressive Communist regime. When the government removed his books from library shelves, He was a marked man, says friar Damian Cesanek.
In 1945, Rudy fled Slovakia, never to return. I chose freedom, he later said, because in Communist countries a writer is not free: He is limited only to themes proposed by the government, and he can write only with the governments permission. After two years as a refugee in Rome, he made his way to Buenos Aires. In 18 years of service as a missionary to immigrants in Argentina, Rudy published more than 20 books of poetry, stoking the fires of Slovak nationalism. During the Cold War, says Paul, university students in Czechoslovakia allegedly loved to quote Dilongs lines in their meetings. In 1965 the Most Holy Savior Custody in Pittsburgh (later the Vice Province), founded by friars from Slovakia, welcomed him warmly.
He brought with him rough country manners and a brashness that could be off-putting. He didnt speak too much English, but he seemed to know what you were saying, says Damian. He was an interesting character to live with. Rudys English never improvedat some point he gave up on itand his room at the friary in Pittsburgh could hardly be called tidy. Nevertheless, He was a great poet, says friar Jerome Pavlik. Rudy loved writing, and he loved the attention it brought him. He was a very well known person who took pride in his work, says John Joseph.
Much of his poetry survives, housed at the Sr. M. Martina Tybor Jankola Library in Danville, Pa., a repository of Slovak literature maintained by the Sisters of Sts. Cyril & Methodius. (One volume,
With Christ in His Passion
, was translated into English by Sr. Martina.) After decades of repression, Slovaks are again free to read and study his poetry, once considered too incendiary for public consumption. The friary in Trstena proudly bears a plaque honoring Rudy as one of the citys outstanding citizens, a friar who paved the way for many modern writers.
As Bill Reisteter said at Rudys funeral in 1986, We are much better off because he lived among us.
Centennial celebrations
Eighteen cultural institutions and organizations in Slovakia, Italy, Switzerland and Argentina have declared 2005 as The Year of Rudolf Dilong to recognize the centennial of the poets birth. In announcing the honor, the Slovak American Cultural Center in New York cited his prodigious output109 books of poetryand his role as co-founder of the literary movement of Catholic Modernism. Regretfully, the center said in a story on its website, there is no participation of any Slovak organization from the United States, in spite of the fact that Rudolf Dilong lived and wrote here since 1965 until his death on April 7th, 1986, in Pittsburgh, where he is buried.
Rudolf Dilongs contributions to Slovak literature are celebrated each July in his hometown of Trstena, Slovakia, during a poetry and prose reading competition called Dilongs Trstena. In 1992 the Episcopal See in Spisska, Kapitula, dedicated Rudolf Dilong Primary School in Trstena.
Focus on friars
Jim Van Vurst and Martin Humphreys were two of a dozen artists
whose works were chosen for display at the May Tea Event sponsored by the Sharonville Fine Arts Council on May 15 at the Sharonville Convention Center. Guests got an up-close look at Jims abstract watercolors and Martys abstract acrylics and chatted with the artists before they sat down to a high tea of tables tiered with finger sandwiches and sweets of every description. The council, whose mission is to support and promote the visual and performing fine arts, is hoping to establish a Regional Creative and Performing Arts Center in Sharonville.
In April, Jamaicans in the Diocese of Montego Bay were introduced to Robert Seays
healing ministry during a five-stop crusade. Robert says the crusade drew a lot of young people to some of the islands smaller parishes. It was impressive to see the effort people made to get there for two to three hours of preaching and the laying on of hands. Bishop Charles Dufour was part of the congregation during the last stop in Revival. There was actually some healing that went on, says Robert, who is repeatedly asked how it works. Theres a certain energy that comes over me, he says, and leaves it at that.
As I look at my journey
, God has always been calling and moving me beyond where I felt comfortable,
Henry Beck
told the congregation crowded into Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Dayton on May 22 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his ordination. The opening song,
All Are Welcome,
reflected the readings and the spirit of Henrys message, which focused on inclusiveness. That message was reinforced by the singing, in Spanish, of Psalm 23, The Lord is My Shepherd (
Tu Vas Conmigo
). At the heart of God, there is community, there is family, as revealed by the Trinity. We are made for relationships, to be bonded to one another. Our God is always creating family, and, wherever we are, we can create family, Henry said, recalling the joy, welcome and reception extended to him by the people of Jamaica during his ministry there. Through the Eucharist, God is telling us, Theres always room at this table.

John Turnbull
celebrated his 50th jubilee June 9 in Oldenburg at the very church where we were ordained, he said. That weekday, the actual anniversary of Johns ordination, We had a nice turnout at 8 a.m. Mass, but the congregation officially celebrated on Sunday the 12th with a party/reception. The surprise visitor was a former refugee from the Sudan whose family spent their first few months in America with John at St. Francis of Assisi Friary in Centerville. The gift from the parish was a handmade stole with hand-embroidered squares representing each of Johns assignments. John says he may also be getting a new set of wheels for his anniversary. Theres some talk about replacing our tractor.
Rock Travnikar
is very grateful for all the support of the brothers and Clares, the messages and extraordinary care extended to him following the death of his brother, Joe. A special thank-you to
Mike Chowning
, who drove overnight from Kentucky to Michigan (and slept in the car when he got there) to attend the funeral before he headed to the Chapter in Dayton. The family was really moved by that, says Rock. God bless him.
Mel would have loved it
An accordion-style photo display at the rear of St. Aloysius Church shows friar Mel Brady in a variety of unposed pictures. Theres Mel, mouth full of food, mugging for the camera. One shot shows him hugging a tiny, dark-haired niece. Another catches him in mid-laugh alongside older brother Ignatius. As the display was intended to convey, here was a guy who loved life and who lived life as a great adventure, an adventure he thoroughly enjoyed until infirmity got in the way of his enormous spirit.
At Mels funeral, April 19 in Detroit, Pastor Mark Soehner is smiling as he points from one picture to the next. Thats Mels Mom. Mels first day in the Order. Mel in his tonsured days. This is the board of Oasis Detroit, a product of Mels persistence in finding ways to house the homeless. This one is the block party. Mel wanted to have a Ferris wheel that would go as high as the Cardinals office. He told people, The pastor wouldnt let me do it.
Those gathered at St. Als, well aware of Mels accomplishments in the Order of Friars Minor, are remembering the affection he inspired. Endowed with Irish charm (and a bit of blarney), Mel had the uncanny ability of making everyone he met feel comfortable and significant, a member of the family. He was like a dad to me, says Dan Nolan. According to Jeff Scheeler, You couldnt help but love Mel Brady. The day before, during visitation, Mark had described Mel as a homemaker, and he wasnt referring to his trademark pot roast or tuna casserole, but to how God made a home for Mel and Mel made a home for God.
Evelyn Dilger, sitting in the pews with a well-soaked Kleenex, is both laughing and crying as she remembers working with Mel in formation at Mt. Airy. The two remained close after he moved to Detroit, with Mel occasionally calling to ask, how much water to put in the Crock Pot as he was fixing dinner. When he left for Detroit, Evelyn says, I felt so abandoned, a sentiment that many are sharing today. As the choir performs
Go, Silent Friend
, sung to the tune of
Danny Boy
, there isnt a dry eye in the house.
Jeff Scheeler has the privilege and daunting task of delivering the homily. I first met Mel Brady in 1984 in Rome, when he was General Secretary of Missions for the Order, Jeff says. When Jeff was introduced to Mel as part of the formation team, I could tell he was aghast at the thought of this whippersnapper in that important position. Mel could not hide his emotions. They were written all over his face. Ironically, the two became great friends, working together on the formation team in later years.
Mel was a man of many roles, with many relationships:
Franciscan friar, parish priest, seminary director, canon lawyer, recovering alcoholic, uncle, cousin, friend, wisdom figure, father figure, Franciscan brother to us all. Someone said, He was a titan in our midst, and that was true. Nevertheless, There was something truly humble about Mel Brady. One of the other friars described him as lovable. He endeared himself to others, partly because of a youthful spirit he never lost. I think one of the gifts Mel had in our Franciscan fraternity was he had a way of connecting with some of the younger friars. I think he had a way of making us feel as if we mattered. He believed in us. He kind of mentored us into manhood. This older, gifted, highly traveled man was our brother and he loved us and lived with us and was our friend.
The readings from Ezekiel, Peter and Matthew seemed tailor-made for Mel, with his penchant for travel, his love of missionary work, the great faith that led to the creation of the correspondence course, Build with Living Stones. Having spent major portions of his life in the Philippines and Rome, Mel was indeed a gift to the nations, truly an instrument of Gods holiness, Jeff says. Check his personal file and youll see that half of it is permissions to travel.
Despite his success at every level of the Order, Mel had his demons. He wrote candidly about his struggles with sobriety in a 1995 newsletter from Guest House, a facility dedicated to the care of priests and religious suffering from alcoholism and chemical dependency. It was 10 years ago this year that I left Guest House, Lake Orion, the recipient of a new gift of life, he wrote. Thanks be to God!
At the age of 74, inspired by the writings of Joan Chittister, He decided to come here (to Detroit) and put that vast experience and that great heart to the service of Gods people, Jeff says. In the end, when he knew that death was approaching, he said, I want to come home. He told Mark that his fate would be whatever God wants.
He was a tremendous example for us of how to live and in the end, how to die, Jeff says. Mel, we love you. We miss you. We are very grateful for your life among us.

CAN eco-friendly products and services, such as shade-grown coffee or green electricity, actually be bad for the environment? Possibly, says one economist.
"Green markets are expanding in many sectors," says Matthew Kotchen at the University of California, Santa Barbara. For example, coffee grown under tropical forest canopy, rather than in the open, aids biodiversity. Electricity from renewable sources comes at a high price, but does not add to pollution. Consumers therefore buy two products at once: coffee and conservation, or electricity and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Now an economic model devised by Kotchen suggests that, having bought premium green goods, consumers may be less willing to donate directly to environmental causes, possibly lowering the overall contribution they would otherwise have made (Journal of Political Economy, vol 114, p 816). "The result doesn't actually suggest that green products are bad, but we need to be more cautious," he says.

GOP to Dismantle 'Great Society'
Ryan's budget proposal is all the more amazing. Not only does it incorporate repeal of the Affordable Care Act, but it also dramatically slashes Medicaid and obliterates Medicare by transforming it into a scrawnily funded voucher program. Notwithstanding hopes that free-market competition between insurers will bring down healthcare costs (something that has never worked before in the US) under Paul Ryan's plan, the inevitable outcome is that even fewer ...

I have :-
MSI H67MA-E35 (B3) MATX Board
Core i5 2400 CPU
2x 2Gb DDR3 1600 Ram 1.5v
My mate has just upgraded to faster memory and I got these on the cheap, I know for a fact they work fine.
The memory I got off him is 2x 8Gb DDR3 1600 1.5v.
On MSI website it says it supports up to 16Gb in 2x 8Gb module configuration. I have upgraded to the latest BIOS but when I put the ram in my PC just starts up, doesnt post and shuts down again and just does it in a loop.
I've tried resetting the bios, putting each stick in on its own and both in at same time, but nothing I do works.
I know my CPU only supports max 1333 ram but its been running 1600mhz ram downclocked fine.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Derelict London - Toilets
No Longer a Public Convenience - High Holborn
The Continued Decline of the Public Toilet
I am still stumbling across lots of disused toilets. Gradually a few are being regenerated but not as public toilets.
Converting abandoned public toilets in London into flats and businesses is providing a solution to rising property prices for some. Here is a link to a BBC TV news item that Derelict London was involved in:
Farringdon Road, EC1
Charlton SE7
Isle of Dogs E14
London's first public lavatories were built over rivers; their output was enough to choke off the flow of the Fleet River, a tributary of the Thames.It was the Victorian engineer George Jennings who pioneered London's distinctive public conveniences - tiled underground chambers marked by iron railings or arches at street level.
Their introduction did not go unopposed, however. Playwright George Bernard Shaw, who was also a local politician, sparked outrage among burghers in his north London ward when he campaigned for a lavatory for the female workers of Camden Town.
"Many public loos occupy prime sites; thanks to the property boom, local councils have found themselves sitting on a valuable asset."
Allen Maskell writes to Derelict London :
"Excellent site, decay and the march of progress driven by local admin, mindless destruction of local history and individual style rubbed out forever. Keep it up, please, perhaps one day these people will change. Your section on Underground public toilets is of great interest to me as I do remember 10 years ago an offer from Lambeth of £1 per year lease deal. perhaps I was dreaming. My idea then was to lease those disused Ladies & gents to open a music studio. The underground space having two exits to comply with fire regs etc, the offer from the mayor and his merry men dissapeared quickly."
Mock Tudor (disused) public toilet at Clapton Common
Here is a selection of toilets across the capital (click to enlarge):
This "amazing find" of a derelict public toilet was in a park in the Isle of Dogs overlooked by the concrete & glass structures of Canary Wharf. I was disappointed not to see any rats..... To clear up any confusion here, this Millwall is actually north of the Thames and not SE London. Many people presume that Millwall is in SE London because the football team recently played in New Cross & now in Bermondsey. Millwall Rovers was founded by workers at Morton's Jam Factory on the Isle of Dogs in 1885. Millwall played on a variety of grounds on the Isle of Dogs. It was not unusual for Millwall to attract thirty or forty thousand spectators to a game, especially at their second ground at East Ferry Road.They moved South of the River to The Den at New Cross, SE14 in 1910.
Craig writes to Derelict London:
"a popular toilet was Notting Hill Gate. In the rush hours, it was standing room only! It was very popular with married men and other ' straights' looking for a fumble on the way home.Today, there are very few public toilets left which is a shame. Not only did they prevent the incidences of people using shop doorways as toilets, they did provide an opportunity for gay men to find others like themselves long before gay bars. Public toilets are not a very photogenic subject, unless you are Verity Lambert, who wrote a very good book on the subject praising the architecture of such places. but they did fulfill a useful role for lonely men and the police who were happy to spend hours, if not days, spying on the activities through holes drilled into the lock up doors or from empty council flats opposite. Lambeth Council was quite happy to allow this. The Victorian underground toilet at Kennington Oval was often raided on the pretext that some member of the public had complained. I think it had more to do with gay men being seen as soft targets. Today, attitudes have changed. However, many public toilets have seen the end of careers for both famous people and others who were caught in flagrante delicto."
The proposed development of these disused public underground toilets on this historic green have been the subject of much outrage among residents and local traders.The Council have scrapped plans due to public pressure despite planning interest from 19 companies.
The Green has been visited by generations of political dissenters from the Wat Tyler to Lenin. In 1842, the Prime Minister Robert Peel banned public meetings from taking place here. In 1890, the world's 1st ever May Day march left from here.The Green was described by poet Sir John Betjeman as "a remarkable haven of peace amid the roar of public transport and heavy lorries".
Public ToLet - Refurbishment Opportunity!! Planners will stop at nothing these days............
Nothing is sacred in the ever changing face (& high property prices) of London. According to the British Toilet Association -- yes, a pro-toilet lobby group - a third of the lavatories run by city councils have closed in the last three years. There is now only one public toilet for every 10,000 people in England, they say.Some call it a fine example of urban regeneration. But others fear Britain's public toilets are an endangered species.
Here is another gallery with selection of toilets from across the capital (click to enlarge)
Where Wilfred Brambell (Albert Steptoe) was allegedly nicked for trying to entice boys.
Craig writes:
"Many years ago I went into the toilets in the early 1980s not long before they were closed for good.It was so dark because the windows were tiny and had overgrown with vegetation. You couldn't see your hand in front of your face, it was that gloomy. Gingerly walking forward hoping to find a urinal to pee, my eyes began to adjust and I realised that there must have been at least 10 men in there in various groups and positions! Nobody stopped, they just carried on."
Chris writes:
"Brought back memories seeing this -I once rode over it very worriedly as an eleven year old or so, having just slammed my pubescent wedding tackle into the handlebar stem on my bicycle while riding on Barnes Common. I was pretty certain I was going to find various bit's of my anatomy cut off before their prime! Happy to say everything was intact! – Well at least as intact as before :=))"
Not so trendy toilet backstage at Bull & Gate Kentish Town.Imagine all the famous bands who have played there & used this toilet! Manic Street Preachers? Coldplay?

Kampala — About 40,000 people from western Uganda turned up for the Ekinihiro kya Radio West at Mbarara Boma Grounds on Saturday. Women and men, young and old, trooped to the grounds from early morning for the radio's 11th anniversary celebrations.
They were treated to a string of sterling performances by local artistes.
"We have never seen such an event in Mbarara. It's as if we have the Pope here," said Tumwebaze Eliphazi, one of the revellers. The Police said the event took place without major incidents.
"The security was fine. The function went on peacefully and we didn't register any crime," said Police district commander Vincent Irama.
Cultural entertainment, including traditional dance and songs, first whetted the appetite of the crowd.
Among the local artistes who performed up to late at night were Bobi Wine, Megga Dee, Butcherman, Raba Daba of the Mukayamu fame and Ragga Dee.
Nkore Kakyenkye group won the cultural competition, beating groups drawn from 10 districts in south-western region. It was rewarded with sh500,000 cash.
Runners-up Ibanda Youth Actors and Nyangi bagged sh300,000 and sh200,000 respectively.
Others walked away with Zain phones and T-Shirts of Igongo Cultural Centre.
Vision Group boss Robert Kabushenga in his speech thanked the cultural groups for loving their culture and the crowd for supporting Radio West.
He assured them that before the end of the month, Vision Group will start a television station in the region, named TV West.
The event was organised by Vision Group in partnership with Zain telecom, Uganda Breweries and Igongo Cultural Centre.
Radio West started in 1999 and went on air on April 10. It was bought by Vision Group two years ago.

Political Science major Judith Frankel has jump-started her path to success. Over the summer, Judith was a Political Intern for College Republican National Committee (CRNC) in Washington D.C. CRNC is an independent political committee that brings together young Republicans to promote the Republican Party and to generate a voice for youth-oriented issues so they can be recognized politically.
"My job title was political intern. My responsibilities were writing conservative blogs for The Voice of Young Conservatives Blog that is featured on the CRNC website, going to conservative luncheons at think-tanks all over the city, and helping out with anything else that needed to be done in the office such as delivering documents to prominent political figures. One of the largest tasks that I helped with was the Biennial College Republican National Convention that took place this past summer."
Judith interned full time and enjoyed it. "I wanted to know what it was like to have a full-time work schedule. Being in Washington D.C. was nice because after work I had time to explore areas of the city."
Judith attained the internship with help from Career Services. "Staff members from Career Services helped me update my resume and cover letter. Cliff Marrett, Interim Director of Career Services, showed me Internships.com and helped me find internship opportunities that applied to my major. The College Republican National Committee was the first to get back to me about an internship."
Judith's advice to students: "Go to Career Services! I don't think I could have done it without Career Services to be completely honest. They were very helpful in the process of helping me acquire an internship when I had no success. This was an excellent internship opportunity! I learned more about the political world than I could have dreamed. It gave me a good idea of where I want to go in politics in the future and even what other career options might be out there."
Judith is graduating May 2012. Congratulations Judith!

When StoryCorps founder David Isay sat down with his great uncle to record the first interview of the project, his great uncle told him a story about a first date. Isay's great uncle had just returned home from WWII. He arrived at the appointed meeting spot and waited for his date on a stoop. When the woman turned the corner and walked down the street she was dressed all in purple, "From her hat to her shoes," Isay said.
His great uncle thought she looked stunning. He got scared. "He thought to himself, 'What is this glamorous beauty going to see in me—a hick?'" Isay said.

AFTER five hectic months, the 492-member National Conference set up by President Goodluck Jonathan, completed their assignment with the submission of a 22-volume report consisting of 10,335 pages and 600 resolutions to the president.
While receiving the report from retired Chief Justice of the Federation, Idris Legbo Kutigi, President Jonathan, predictably, pledged the administration will do all it can to ensure the implemen-tation of the recommendations.
It was a major national triumph that the conference not only successfully took place but ended on a happy note without the threat of boycotts, walk-outs, disownment of the documents or writing of "minority" or alternative reports bedeviling it.
Given the skeptical air that surrounded its beginning, with many groups unsure of its real purpose or success, added to the tumult that often attended the sessions while it lasted, Nigerians have every reason to be delighted that the conference ended with the delegates from across the various divides chanting a victory song; victory for Nigeria.
Now comes the real challenge. We as a people must seize this moment and chart a new future for ourselves and future generations. The recommendations from this confab contain issues canvassed over the years during the various conferences since independence, all aimed at repairing the dysfunctions in our socio-political and economic system. Incidentally, many of the delegates to the just-concluded conference also attended some of the earlier editions and came armed with adequate knowledge of the things required to change the country for the better.
That Nigeria is in dire need of reforms is all too evident. There is too much corruption in the system, wasteful governance, overcrowded and indolent public bureaucracies, a seriously underdeveloped economy, violent political discontentment due to inequities. There is a large body of Nigerians who are not being carried along politically, economically and socially. This country needs to reconcile itself to its various peoples and get them to love and serve her as other countries that are progressing do.
The job of making the just-concluded conference count belongs to all Nigerians. This is because the document will be looked into by the legislative and executive arms of government at state and federal levels. We must encourage these officials we elected to be patriotic and swift in ensuring that recommendations that will define a new, better future for our people are put in place as soon as possible.
The confab came at an auspicious time; the end of an old, difficult century when every Nigerian group felt the pain of a wrong start to nationhood. Let us use the product of this confab to show that we are capable of creating a second century Nigeria that will be the envy of others.

FRESNO, Calif. (1/27/10) - Tasha Harris' and Jessica Van Hoogen's combined 41 points was not enough for Boise State as the Broncos fell by seven 73-66 at Fresno State Wednesday night in Fresno, Calif. The Broncos kept the game close throughout the 40 minutes of play but could never quite get over the hump. Turnovers and mistakes at critical moments cost Boise State down the stretch against the league leading Bulldogs who improved to 16-5 overall and 7-0 in Western Athletic Conference play. The loss drops the Broncos to 13-7 overall and 2-4 in conference.
The Bulldogs scored the opening basket and never trailed in the game even though the Broncos kept it interesting throughout the contest. Fresno State scored first then held onto the lead throughout the first period stretching their advantage to as many as 11 points 25-14 by the 10:30 mark.
However, Boise State rallied cutting its deficit to one point, 30-29, with 1:43 remaining until the break. The Broncos had chances to take the lead but turnovers and poor shot selection in the closing moments cost them as the Bulldogs scored the final six points of the half to go in seven points up at 36-29.
Boise State started the second period fast with back-to-back 3-pointers by Rebecca Kepilino and Van Hoogen to pull the Broncos to within one point at 36-35 one minute into the half. One minute later following a Bulldogs field goal, Boise State tied the game for the first time when Harris converted a three-point play by hitting a driving layup and a free throw with 18:12 to go.
Fresno State regained a three-point advantage then held on to a one to three point lead for the next three minutes. Down three Boise State's Kepilino hit her second 3-pointer of the half tying the score up at 43 all with 14:56 on the clock.
Unfortunately, the Broncos began to struggle with foul trouble to Van Hoogen and Janie Bos, as well as, turnovers and getting their shots to fall. Meanwhile, Fresno State rolled off an 11-2 run to claim a 54-45 advantage with 10:31 to go. The run eventually stretched to 21-8 and a game-high 13-point, 64-51, lead with under seven minutes to play.
Once again the Broncos battled back. Down nine at 64-58, Van Hoogen returned to the game with just over five minutes showing on the clock. She scored the final eight points for Boise State on a pair of treys and a two-pointer to pull the Broncos to within four points 70-66 with 1:44 left.
Boise State finished the game missing its last four shots while Fresno State converted three-of-four free throws to ice the contest.
Van Hoogen led Boise State with a team-high 23 points to go with four rebounds, three assists and two steals. Harris followed with 18 points, a team-high nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals. Rebecca Kepilino was the only other Bronco in double-figure points finishing with 10 to go with four boards, three assists and one steal.
Fresno State had four players in double-figure points led by Joh-Teena Filipe with 18 points and nine boards, both team highs. Emma Andrews added 13 points followed by Hayley Munro's 11 points and five rebounds, and Jaleesa Ross' 11 points, four boards and five assists.
The Bulldogs dominated the scoring in the paint by a 38 to 22 margin. Boise State out scored Fresno State from the arc 10 3-pointers to six, the Bulldogs entered the game as one of the top teams nationally in 3-pointers made and attempted. In the end, Fresno State won the game at the free-throw line where they out scored Boise State 15 to four, the Bulldogs took 18 charity shots compared to five for the Broncos.
Next up for Boise State is a home game against Utah State this Saturday night. It will be the first game of a doubleheader that night in Taco Bell Arena in Boise, tip is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. (Mountain).

According to Dr. Elliott, it's important for P3 to gather data for their athletes at a young age to establish a baseline and help assist with injury prevention. Adidas Nations, a program focused on developing some of the best young basketball stars in the country, has seen the value in bringing their athletes to P3. Because of their work with adidas Nations, P3 has begun gathering data for some of the country's most talented 16, 17 and 18-year-old basketball players as they prepare for a potential career in the Association down the road. "In general, the ability to test players at a young age is really the key here," Elliott says. "We have a lot of top-tier players coming in and we're identifying movement patterns that relate to certain injuries. For young athletes, we can tell them, 'Hey if you move this way, you're going to wear out the cartilage in your knee,' but with veteran players, we'll find out that their cartilage is already gone."
Technology Rumors
For a team like the Timberwolves that has already seen P3's work with Wiggins, LaVine and Anthony Bennett, seeing that kind of improvement from Okafor could make him an even more appealing potential No. 1 pick. While other leagues are staying at arm's length from P3, the NBA has fully embraced P3's data-driven performance training. According to Dr. Elliott, players will soon begin to receive their personalized data throughout their careers so they can better understand their own bodies. "If we can track the data for every player in the NBA throughout their careers," said Elliott. "Then the Association will be two steps ahead of every other professional sports league from an athletic standpoint."
The Kings app will also be completely redesigned. The goal is to launch a new version when the season begins. Miller and company wants it to be the first "state-ware" app in sports.
Other testing could include multicasting to ensure instant replays at your seat and "smart" kiosks for ticket entry. Plus, new camera technology is going in now, Miller said.
The Kings also are looking into expanded Wi-Fi offerings that aren't even scheduled for limited release until 2016, according to Miller. The new arena is slated to open in October 2016. The new arena is slated to open in October 2016. Other new technology that is being reviewed relates to sound, seat comfort, fabrics, traffic, parking, loyalty and beacon technology. The Kings will be testing some new technology in limited pockets of Sleep Train Arena this season in order to "work out the kinks for the new arena."
With the new Kings regime came a lot of ties to the Silicon Valley, which in turn, has created the potential for molding technology with sports in Sacramento. At the forefront of that push is co-owner Andy Miller, who is in charge of technology for the Kings. With the demolition of Downtown Plaza over a month-and-half in, the Kings continue to delve into ways to link the new arena with innovative technology. One thing Miller, the former vice president of mobile advertising with Apple, says the team is looking into is "smart" lighting. "Not just LED, but equipped with sensors to monitor traffic flow and environmental conditions, networked to provide data and control. It will give us a lot of data for easing congestion, safety and energy savings," Miller said.
Every so often, a visual technology comes along that leaves us speechless. The first color television, the groundbreaking special effects seen in George Lucas' Star Wars, holographic Tupac Shakur… Experiences like these make us want to go out and tell everyone we know about what we just witnessed. This fall, the Sixers will unveil an exciting new in-arena addition that they hope will have the same effect. As part of a larger set of changes to the team's game presentation this season, the Sixers will join the New Jersey Devils and Cleveland Cavaliers in becoming the first professional sports teams in the nation to adopt the cutting edge projection-mapping technology permanently.

And then there's the 94Fifty smart basketball, from start-up InfoMotion Sports Technologies. Inside what appears to be an ordinary regulation-size synthetic leather basketball is Bluetooth technology and sensors that communicate with a companion app on your iPhone or iPad. The app "coaches" you with drills that cover such things as your dominant hand speed, weak hand speed, crossover speed and behind-the-back speed. The app can count the number of dribbles, and detect when you've lost control of the ball. It can measure how fast you get off shots, what kind of backspin you have on your shot, and what kind of arc you have when you throw the ball up toward the hoop. Alas, at $299.95, a smart basketball doesn't come cheap. Chromecast aside, the best new products of the year rarely do.
Paul has a big bag stocked with a 15-inch MacBook Pro, full-size iPad and iPad Mini, two iPods and lots of chargers. "I need to get (the iPods) down to one, but one of them has 35,000 songs on it, all the music you could probably imagine, and the other one just gospel music." He has two iPads because the big one gets filled with footage of Clippers basketball games for him to watch afterward. The Mini he uses to watch TV shows and movies.
There are seven TVs in his Los Angeles home. "In my mancave there are four TVs, because I like to watch all the basketball games. Outside on the porch, we have a TV. In my bathroom, in my tub, there's a TV, so I can watch TV. Games are always on." The mancave has one big 60-inch set and three smaller ones. One of the sets is connected to a Microsoft Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii gaming system (his son likes to play the Madden NFL Football and NBA2K14 video games.) "I'm watching and he's playing."
With over 10,000 users who have gathered at over 3,000 bars, restaurants and stadiums to watch over 8,000 games, the Fanactic app is destined to become your lifeline any time you're traveling somewhere new. Stuck in a small town hundreds of miles away from your home city? No problem. Click the explore tab and you'll find fans in your area using geolocation tools. If you want to be surrounded by fellow fans, you can scan the list of games being watched and the number of fans watching each game at local venues even when you're thousands of miles from home.
We've all been there: stuck somewhere outside the cozy confines of home, trying desperately to find the right restaurant, bar or pub that's showing your favorite NBA team. With the 2013-14 NBA season tipping off tomorrow, you might want to download Fanatic, which launched an Android app in August after a successful iPhone iteration. You'll always find the perfect place to watch your favorite NBA team. Never be in the dark again when you want to catch your favorite NBA squad, but have no idea where to go.
The NBA will officially announce Thursday what Grantland reported two weeks ago — that the league will pay for the installation of data-tracking cameras, and the attached software, at all 29 NBA arenas (the Clippers and Lakers share an arena). This is a sort of endgame for STATS, proprietor of the SportVU camera technology, which entered the league in the 2010-11 season with a half-dozen eager subscribing teams. I've written about the technology several times, so I won't go deep into the basics here. Suffice it to say the cameras track the movement of every object on the court — players, referees, the ball — several times per second, providing a new path to answering questions small and grand.
The cameras cost about $100,000 per year, and the expense is one reason 15 teams hadn't yet subscribed. Some of those teams were waiting in hopes the NBA would foot the bill, and the league has apparently decided to do so sooner than many of those teams expected. Installing the cameras in all 30 arenas will expand the data to include every game played, providing teams with a more complete and reliable data set. It also raises the possibility of the league using statistical nuggets from the cameras during television broadcasts. A few teams have used in-game data at halftime to show players specific examples of things like rebounds they didn't contest aggressively, or evidence they weren't running as hard as usual. A few more will likely do the same next season.
Catapult's Gary McCoy compares the company's technology to the intricate and mandatory gauges that measure engine performance and other vital signs of a high-performance race car. "Imagine NASCAR, or even mechanically more precise, Formula 1 racing," McCoy said. "Powerful engines. High-performance mechanical needs. Could you imagine driving one of these vehicles without any dashboard whatsoever? What if you cant 'hear' the engine? Would you know when you are 'redlining,' causing untold overload to the system? "The same happens every day for a high-powered NBA athlete — we drive them without a dashboard, we guess. Our eyes give us extremely limited information. We don't know what is too much, what is too little. Catapult data changes all this. Viable, objective measurements on movement, and then simply what we can measure, we can manage."
Sports, science and technology are converging at an all-time pace and eight NBA teams are experimenting with a new device designed to optimize and personalize training regiments, thus the ability to maximize performance and reduce injury. The San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets and New York Knicks, plus four other teams that have chosen to keep their identities secret, have invested in these complex GPS tracking devices created by the Australian company Catapult Sports, the self-professed leader in "athlete analytics." "We just want to be able to get smarter about our players and how to train them and how to put them in a position to succeed," said Mavs owner Mark Cuban. "So that's just one component of a lot of different things that we're doing."

Pageant Girl Eats Worms on Toddlers and Tiaras — Especially If They Have Pee In Them! (VIDEO)
We suppose that performing in pageants can make a person hungry, right? Of course, not everyone gets hungry for the same things.
In a promo video for a new episode of TLC's Toddlers and Tiaras, a nine-year-old girl named Jordan participates in a lot of pageants, but she'd rather be doing her favorite pastime.
"I'd rather be outside eating worms all day — delicious ones," she says in the video.
We see her eat a worm in front of her mom, but she says it's not as tasty as one that she ate with her dad on a fishing trip.
What was so good about that other one? "That one had pee in it," she explains.
Her mom is concerned that her habit will make it hard for Jordan to find a boyfriend. "I would really like to marry you off," her mom tells her.
Let's just hope that sweet little Jordan doesn't grow up to be a chef.

Grace Hall sidelined with fracture
Grace Hall finished last as the even-money favorite in the Grade 1 Apple Blossom at Oaklawn on April 12, and there now may be a reason for the poor effort.
In a recent trip to the Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital in Kentucky, Grace Hall was diagnosed with a partial fracture of the lateral wing of the coffin bone on her right front foot, according to Reynolds Bell, an adviser to owner John Clay. Grace Hall also some bruising of her left front foot, Bell said.
Bell said that Grace Hall would need 30 to 60 days off, but is expected to return for a fall campaign. Grace Hall will be hand-walked for 30 days at Mia Comet farm in Lexington, Ky., before being re-examined.
According to Bell, Rood and Riddle's Dr. Larry Bramlage "said it would take 30 to 60 days to resolve itself and the prognosis is favorable. He doesn't expect it to be anything we'd have to worry about going forward."
Grace Hall, a 4-year-old daughter of Empire Maker, has won 6 of 13 starts, including the Grade 1 Spinaway at 2 and a trio of Grade 2 stakes at 3.
She was purchased by Clay's Alpha Delta Stables for $3.2 million at last November's Fasig-Tipton Kentucky auction.
"We have to put this behind us," said Bell, adding that perhaps trainer Tony Dutrow "can get her where she was before this race and see what the fall looks like."
Best of luck in your recovery, Grace.
Apparently another horse ruined by another juice trainer (A. Dutrow).

Karim Benzema bagged a brace as Real Madrid continued their impressive start to the La Liga season with an entertaining 4-2 victory over Getafe at the Bernabeu.
Cristiano Ronaldo and substitute Gonzalo Higuain were also on target, the former improving his record to 15 goals in his last six league games and eight in four against Getafe with a penalty on the hour mark.
Miku netted a cool double for Getafe, but it was not enough to prevent his side slipping to defeat.
Jose Mourinho's side headed into the encounter knowing Barcelona had dropped two points in a 2-2 draw at Real Sociedad earlier in the evening, and looked keen from the outset to steal an early march on the champions.
Angel Di Maria burst into the area in the fourth minute only to be denied by the feet of Miguel Moya from the right side of the six-yard box, and then he cut inside and unleashed a left-footed shot into the side-netting. The lively Argentinian turned provider in the tenth minute with a cross for Ronaldo, whose powerful header from 12 yards was tipped over by Moya.
There was a chink of light for Getafe at the other end two minutes later when Miku got clear, but he took too long over his shot and Sergio Ramos got back to block. However, in the 14th minute, Real went ahead with a well-worked goal.
Mesut Ozil was influential in a neat move also involving Marcelo and Fabio Coentrao, the German eventually teeing it up for Benzema to take a touch and place into the top-right corner. Coentrao should have doubled the hosts' lead in the 34th minute when he was played in by Marcelo down the left-hand side of the area, but he dinked his shot just wide.
For all their dominance, Real remained only one goal clear and that lead was almost wiped out eight minutes before the interval when Marcelo, in an attempt to cut out a right-wing cross, sent a looping header over Iker Casillas but was saved by the woodwork.
Miku scores
That should have served as a warning to Mourinho's side as to how slender their advantage was, but two minutes later they were pegged back. Mehdi Lacen fed a slick ball through to Miku -who was onside despite protests - and slotted past a helpless Casillas and into the bottom-left corner.
Coentrao passed up a gilt-edged chance to restore Real's lead early in the second half, his follow-up finding only the side-netting after Ronaldo's shinned overhead-kick from Benzema's cross had come back off the inside of the post.
The hosts had the ball in the visitors' net in the 54th minute, but Coentrao, again at the centre of things, was adjudged offside when Benzema's ball deflected in off him. Getafe were still very much in the game, though, and required Casillas to beat away another blast from Miku in the 56th minute.
Ronaldo from the spot
The tide turned in Real Madrid's favour for good, however, when the hosts were awarded a penalty for a foul by Cata Diaz on Ronaldo. The former Manchester United man picked himself up to send the spot-kick into the bottom-right corner.
Ronaldo then helped his side extend their lead with a sublime cross-field pass for Benzema, who was left with a straightforward finish to make it 3-1.
Getafe refused to lie down, though, and it was game on again in the 73rd minute when substitute Dani Guiza saw his shot parried by Casillas and Miku kept his composure to steer home the rebound with his left foot.
Higuain had had to wait patiently on the bench for 86 minutes, but when he eventually came on in place of Ozil, he needed only two minutes to make his mark. The Argentinian got the better of Juan Valera and Miguel Torres on the edge of the box before firing a low shot past Moya to seal the win.

- Our faculty and students conduct research that addresses major issues that challenge our planet's sustainability.
- We offer a five-year plan to get your bachelor's and master's degrees.
- We offer two emphasis areas for this major: bioprocess engineering and ecological engineering.
- Undergraduates can join many Creative Inquiry teams focusing on biodiesel plant operation, biohydrogen production, microbial fuel cells, algal biofuels and green infrastructure/low impact development.
Clemson's biosystems engineering program is dedicated to studying the footprints our bright ideas may leave on the Earth and developing new designs to achieve our goals and minimize our ecological impact. Students may choose between two main paths of study that include sustainable bioprocess engineering, with its basis in microbiology, and ecological engineering, with its basis in ecology. The field focuses on the sustainable production of biorefinery compounds (biofuels, bioactive molecules and biomaterials) using metabolic pathways found in nature and green processing technologies. Further, biosystems engineering encompasses the design of sustainable communities utilizing low-impact development strategies (bioretention basins, rainwater harvesting) for stormwater retention and treatment — and ecologically sound food and energy-crop production.

That's impressive. Especially for those of us that have jobs. Winter months around here it's hard to get the larger milage in with the weather and road conditions. Yesterday I did a short ride and ended up on an icy road which was a little terrifying for a while. The best that I was doing once the season turned last year was 600 miles a month. Plan is to get on it early and ride on the shitty days too, hopefully it just is wet and not snowy for the remainder of the winter. We'll see how it goes.
I'd like to have a large jump on the other local riders come spring, some of the boys put the hurt on me last year a bunch of times and that didn't sit too well with me, so I'm motivated to say the least.
I just got the Garmin 500 this fall and love it. We got my brother one for his birthday and I immediately had gear envy, so had to get one myself. I have it set up on both my bikes so I hope not to miss any rides. The wet bike is getting all the love for now and will until April.
300 to 350 miles in a day is beyond epic. We're planning a 250 KM day ride this summer and thought that was ambitious.
Although its a cross ride on dirt, it still ain't no 350 miles.

We hope that Respect will ensure a safe, positive environment for everyone to
enjoy football. From the start it will have an impact on the following areas:
By tackling abuse towards match officials, we
hope to reduce the stream of referees understandably leaving the game.
Abuse and pressure from the sidelines needs
to stop if we are to ensure young children enjoy, stay and progress in the game.
An encouraging and player-centred approach is
vital if we are to improve coaching standards - particularly for the key 5-11
age-group. It's simple: better coaches produce better players.
Everyone in football has a duty of care towards children -
ensuring they are able to play football in a safe, enjoyable environment free of
abuse, bullying and discrimination.
Improving behaviour is a whole-game issue and the 2008-09 season will see the
Respect programme introduced at professional and grassroots levels.
