THE GREAT GROWLER FOOD DRIVE! The Original Growler is a BYOB Race: Bring Your Own Bag. We try to eliminate waste and clutter by not providing you with any spiffy disposable or reusable bags that nobody needs. Please bring your own, preferably filled with non-perishable food items for the Original Growler Food Drive. Last year we killed it with this and our local food bank is forever grateful for your generosity.
Saturday – The Half-Growler
An epic single-lap race. *THE HALF-GROWLER BEGINS WITH A MASS START AT 9AM* Field limit is 350 starters. Entry fee is $114 and includes a ton of singletrack, well-stocked aid stations, a t-shirt or something else, post-race party in downtown Gunnison including a meal and beverages and finisher's awards. HINT: Lots of locals prefer the Half-Growler because they know just how hard the Full-Growler is. Our most popular distance, the Half-Growler usually sells out quickly. Don't procrastinate on this one. But if you did and it's full, take a look at Sunday's Half below.
Sunday – The Full-Growler
Two laps and Sunday's Half, one lap. *BOTH EVENTS BEGIN TOGETHER WITH A MASS START AT 7AM* Combined total field limit for Sunday is 350 starters. Entry fee is $114 for the Full and Sunday's Half and includes double a ton of singletrack, well-stocked aid stations, a t-shirt or something else, post-race party including a meal and beverages and a finisher's award.
The Full-Growler:
This is the race that started it all – the big daddy, the main event, the grand poobah. Two laps featuring most of the trails at legendary Hartman Rocks. The Full Growler is nothing short of one of the most challenging races on the planet for experienced, trail riding mountain bikers.
Sunday's Half:
A one lap race within the Full-Growler on Sunday May 26th. We will track and post results, including time, for Sunday's Half, but categories will only be Men and Women Open. Sunday's Half might be right for you if you want to race the same day as your friend or significant other who is tackling the Full-Growler but you know that you're more of a Half-Growler kind of rider; or, the Half Growler sold out before you got around to registering and you still want to experience the amazing trail riding of The Original Growler. Sunday's Half finishers still get Half-Growler finisher's award, party, meal, etc. There will be no individual or age group achievement awards or rankings for Sunday's Half.
The Sage Burner trail running races have their own dates and was transferred to another racing company. The Original Meowler was canceled. We felt like putting more emphasis and resources in making the Growler better! Sorry for the news.
The Original Growler is for experienced mountain bikers only and takes place in rugged, isolated backcountry terrain. While your safety is our highest priority and we have a robust EMS plan and experienced and trained personnel, responding to and evacuating an injured rider could be time consuming and difficult. Riders must possess the skills and judgment necessary to assess difficult and challenging trails and roads and negotiate them in a safe manner. NO BEGINNERS, PLEASE! For comparison, the general character and difficulty of the trails and roads in the Original Growler is similar to those of the BLM Mack Ridge Trail System near Fruita, CO: Mary's Loop, Lion's Loop, Horsethief Loop, Steve's Loop, etc. The trails have also been described as Buffalo Creek on steroids.
Each day of Original Growler racing is capped at 350 riders. We could easily start 500 or more but there's a ton of singletrack out there, much of it either fast or technical. Too many riders on course at once is not conducive to quality racing and riding. Even so, the Growler will bottleneck early in the race. Please be patient, respectful and smart if you find yourself at a standstill. Riding off of the trail to pass is not cool. Also, if a gap opens in front of you and you look back and notice that you are the engine of a long train of riders, please step off of your bike, move over and let these faster riders by. The same goes later in the race if you are being lapped or if another rider comes up on you on singletrack. Please yield the trail. This helps keep our precious singletrack trails singletrack! Thanks!
Both days of racing will start in downtown Gunnison by shotgun blasts. As per tradition, we will be flip-flopping the direction of travel on the course. Every trail is a completely different experience when ridden the other way! In year 2017 we're going clockwise and we've added even more singletrack to the course.
The HALF-GROWLER
While the winning time will be around 3 hours, we have a handful of riders out there for over 6 hours. Average times are 4-5 hours.Even though it's called a race, this is an exceptional course to just ride for fun and challenge. We do have cutoff times (our volunteers do not bring sleeping bags!), but they are not overly tough to beat.
The FULL-GROWLER
Winning men's times for the Full Growler flirt with breaking 5 hours and fast ladies can break 6 hours. Heard on the street: "But the Full-Growler is only 64 miles. I've done a bunch of hundies, I've done Leadville, how hard can it be?" Give it a try and find out, just bring your A-game. Once again, it's called a race but plenty of riders take their time (maybe even take some pictures), smell the sage and enjoy the challenging and ever-changing trails at Hartman Rocks.
SUNDAY'S FULL GROWLER and SUNDAY'S HALF BOTH START TOGETHER FROM DOWNTOWN GUNNISON AT 7AM SHARP.
The start is neutral behind law enforcement until you hit the dirt at Hartman Rocks. Neutral means you cannot pass the lead-out law enforcement vehicle. This law enforcement vehicle may drive slow or fast. HINT: the law enforcement vehicle usually goes pretty fast on Gold Basin road toward the dirt. The finish on the pavement is untimed but mandatory (see below for further details). Racing begins for real when you hit the dirt at the entrance to the Hartman Rocks base area. The course is about a 32-mile loop on your BLM public lands that brings riders back to the Hartman Rocks base area, where the timed finish/lap line is located.
The timed finish line is on the dirt at the Hartman Rocks base area. WE ARE NOT RACING BACK TO DOWNTOWN GUNNISON.
However, riding back to downtown Gunnison on the pavement is mandatory but untimed (continue reading for further details).
For 2017, the timed portion of all races will be completed at the Hartman Rocks base area. However, by rule, you must pedal your bike back to downtown Gunnison and check in at the symbolic finish line there. This section is untimed so you can take your time, even stopping by your campsite or hotel room first to shower, shave or to paint your toenails. Do make it back downtown, however, and check in with race staff. Growler finishers will get a finishers award. You'll also get your meal voucher for the Great Growler Food Court, and beverages at the High Alpine Brewing Company, all taking place where you started in downtown Gunnison.
The Half, Sunday's Half and the Full-Growlers, all start and finish in downtown Gunnison at IOOF Park (AKA, race HQ) on the NE corner of Main and Virginia. That makes for about 5 miles of dead flat pavement, 2.5 at the beginning and 2.5 at the end. Total distances are about 40 miles for the Half-Growler and 69 miles for the Full-Growler. The start on the pavement is neutral behind law enforcement and may be slow or fast. SEE ABOVE FOR A DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE GROWLER WILL FINISH.
Please, no parking on Main St. or in the first block on either side of Main St. These are two-hour parking spots and you will be ticketed and possibly towed. There's plenty of street parking adjacent to the finish that's just one block or more off of Main St. A great parking lot is two blocks west of the start across the street from the post office and there's a ton of parking on the campus of Western State Colorado University.
The well-marked, clockwise course of around 30 miles contains loads of classic and challenging Gunnison singletrack – trails like Skull Pass, Rattlesnake, the Ridge, Joshos, 4-miles of new trail in the Graceland complex. You won't be bored! The lap descends around 4,000 vertical feet. The Half-Growler and lap 1 of Sunday's races use a slightly different starting configuration to spread the field out. Please study the map for details.
PLEASE NOTE: Parts of the Original Growler course are closed until May 15th to protect the threatened Gunnison Sage-grouse. If you preride the course prior to May 15th, please honor and respect this seasonal closure for wildlife. Many thanks!
The Original Growler course contains difficult, technically demanding, and of course, potentially dangerous, singletrack trails, double-tracks and roads. Most road and trail hazards are not marked. Riders must possess the judgment and experience necessary to evaluate the roads and trails of the Original Growler and determine the safest manner in which to negotiate them.
BLM Public Lands
All roads and trails used in the Original Growler are also open to the public and participants don't have special preference out on the trail. Participants need to be prepared to encounter, yield to and be courteous to humans on foot, on horseback, on mountain bikes (not racing), on motorcycles, on ATV's, in full-size vehicles, hovercraft, etc. Cattle may also be encountered while racing in the Original Growler. This is standard policy for events taking place on BLM public lands.
The Original Growler course is an isolated, backcountry route that includes numerous sections located in steep and rugged terrain where participants may be hours from medical attention and/or evacuation in the event of a serious mishap. Western State Colorado University Mountain Rescue Team provides emergency services for the Original Growler. The long-distance nature of the Growler races emphasizes the importance of adequate preparation, physical fitness and sound decision-making on the part of each participant
You will most likely get wet. The Original Growler is an all weather race. It poured rain before and during the race in 2009; in 2014, it rained most of the night prior to the Full Growler and in 2015 the story was the same for the Half. The first part of the course, especially the roads, on those days certainly had their moments. However, all thing considered, Hartman Rocks rides pretty well when it's wet. Most of the soils are non-clay, decomposed granite. The race organization and/or the BLM may cancel the race do to weather but this hasn't happened yet! All riders need to be dressed appropriately and be prepared to ride in the conditions on race day. In the event of a weather cancellation, essentially an act of god, Gunnison Trails reserves the right to make any decision possible.
Lightning is wholly unpredictable and a very common in Colorado. Each of you make your own decisions about how best to stay safe in the event of a sudden electrical storm. If lightning starts striking nearby, do whatever you need to do to stay safe. These storms usually pass quickly.
Many trails in the Growler course are on hilltops or on large flat planes. Please be aware of the weather around you and where you are heading and make good decisions.
Canceling the race when riders are spread all over the course is not practical, not to mention impossible to communicate. We reserve the right to suspend or alter final results if thunderstorms materially alter rider's ability to continue on without seeking cover. But, all parts of the race will stay intact and resume operations once each storm cell has passed. Ride aware at all times, especially after storms, as volunteers sometimes bail from their positions.
Follow all rules of the road and be safe and prudent if you approach an intersection, blind spot or other potentially dangerous situation while riding, that is un-marshaled.
Since these storms usually come and go, the course, finish line, aid stations, etc., will stay in place and active, except when they are under siege from an active electrical storm cell.
Be safe, make good decisions. Don't let you competitiveness overrule your safety. After all this is the Growler, not the tour de France.
There will be well-stocked aid-stations generally at :
- miles 15 and 17 (Skull Pass)
- 30 (Hartman Rocks base area)
- 43 and 45 (Skull Pass).
We will have hydration drink mix and Honey Stinger product available, as well as water and other food, too. Depending on location ice cold coke, and pickles or pickle juice will be available. As in years past, bacon and who knows what else, might be offered. No filled bottles will be handed up so you'll need to fill your bottles and bladders or make other arrangements.
Two additional intermediate locations on the course will have hydration drink mix and water, just enough to keep you going.
Crewing is discouraged on the race course. There is already a ton of action going on out there and the few cars and less traffic, the better.
There will be basic technical support at the Hartman Rocks base area and basic support at Skull Pass. This will include lube, a few tubes and tires, some tools and floor pump. There most likely will not be a full-service bike shop on course. The base area will have more resources. Please arrive with your bike 100% dialed and then ride it so that it lasts, e.g. don't shift like a bison!
Full Growler riders only will be able to leave a small cooler or duffel bag at a designated spot near the starting line in downtown Gunnison. We will transport your bag to the lap line (Hartman Rocks base area.) These can be filled with whatever you think you might want to have at the half-way point of the race: food, drink, clothing, tubes, tools, etc.) Once you have gone through it and are back on course, we'll transport it back to town for you.
Important: Full-Growler riders: the lap line at the Hartman Rocks base area is always a confusing place. Check it out beforehand if possible. As you finish your first lap, be as aware as you can and pay attention to signage and/or course marshals trying to direct you to: the drop-bag location; the crew-feeding area; the neutral aid-station; or through the timing line to head out for your second lap
- Cutoff #1: If you have not arrived at the Skull Pass aid station by noon (5mph average or less), you will be asked to begin expediting your ride by not dropping into Skull Pass, and/or cutting off other sections of the course. This will mean a DNF (did not finish) in the results.
- Cutoff #2: If you do not reach the start of Josie's Trail Checkpoint 8 by 1pm, you will be asked to expedite your ride by taking roads directly back to the Hartman Rocks Base Area. This will mean a DNF (did not finish) in the results.
- Cutoff #3: If you do not reach the end of Graceland Trail Checkpoint 12 by 2pm, you will be asked to expedite your ride by taking roads directly back to the Hartman Rocks Base Area. This will mean a DNF (did not finish) in the results.
- Cutoff #1: NOON is the strictly enforced cutoff time to head out on the second lap for Full Growler riders.
- Cutoff #2 (lap 2): If you do not reach the start of Josie's Trail by 3pm, you will be asked to expedite your ride by taking roads directly back to the Hartman Rocks Base Area. This will mean a DNF (did not finish) in the results.
- Cutoff #1: If you do not reach the start of Josie's Trail by 3pm, you will be asked to expedite your ride by taking roads directly back to the Hartman Rocks Base Area. This will mean a DNF (did not finish) in the results.
See WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE START, FINISH and PARKING? above.
Once you're done and back in downtown at the starting line, you'll be smack-dab in the middle of the Growler after party. We have food and beverages (please drink responsibly) for you and eventually, we'll do awards. We suggest that you put your bike away securely (you might want to bring a lock for peace of mind or get it back to where you are staying or on or in your car), clean up as you like and kick back and enjoy the post-race glow and feeling of abused legs.
- Half-Growler Party on Saturday begins around 1pm with Awards around 3pm.
- Full-Growler and Sunday's Half-Growler party on Sunday begins around 1pm with Awards around 5pm.

The city of Bijapur has been leading center of Sufi's, Saints & Savants. During the reign of Adil Shahi Dynasty it attracted a large number of Sufi Saints, Poets, Artists & Architectures of high eminence.(984-1056 H)
Hazrath Hazhimpeer who represents the glorious tradition of Quadri-Shuttari Sufi order came to Bijapur on specific instructions from the Prophet of Islam. He was brought up in a highly scholastic atmosphere under the influence of Sayedna Vajhuddin Hussaini Gujrati, popularly known as Haider Ali Sani. It was during the rule of Ibrahim Adil Shah-II when Hazrath Hashimpeer arrived in Bijapur & it was his influence on the Adil Shahi dynasty that trains formed the dynasty which was following Un-Islamic & Heretic practices.
The world famous Gol-Gumbaz owes its completion to Hashimpeer who gifted his 10 years life to his disciple Sultan Muhammed Adil Shah. Jamia Hashimpeer which is being developed under the spiritual guidance & patronage of Hazrath Hashimpeer, greatly fills in void in imparting religious education of high standard. Jamia Hashimpeer is established in a seven acre land & a beautiful building has been Constructed Completely. Apart from imparting religious education, arrangements have also been made in imparting modern & technical education to cope up with the changing demand.
Allahumdulilah, Jamia Al-Batool has been started Since june 2009 to Import Islamic & Sufi Education for Women.
Has also been established at Jamia Hashimpeer, attributed to Imam Ahmed Raza, Mohaddis-e-Bareli (R.A.) from where Muslims get the solution for their religious & personal problems.
Allahumdulilah, By the grace of the Almighty, Wisdom India School of Hashim has been established at Bijapur to fulfill the need of quality education for the Bijapur citizens. Special emphasis is laid for picking up qualified and left competent teachers in CBSE syllabus teaching. For ages together the need was left to start or English medium school surrounded by Islamic atmosphere. This void has been fulfilled and a quality English medium school has been started from 6th June 2011. Here CBSE Syllabus is taught along with the Deeniyat as subject which is optional. For the sake of students to and fro transport, new busses have been purchased. Citizens of Bijapur are requested to visit the campus and view the newly constructed excellent building and the AL-Hashmi Educational Trusts campus at Sindagi Road,Bijapur and further it is humbly requested to the parents to get their children admitted at WISH (Wisdom India School of Hashim) for acquiring excellent education in English and for the all round development of the child.
Allahumdulilah, in historic city of Bijapur and for the people of Ahl-E-Sunnat, one year Imamat Course is being started under the auspices of Jamia Hashimpeer The syllabus for the Imamat Course is being framed by tge scholars of Jamia Hashimpeer which fills up the requirements irrespective of age and belonging to any sphere of his Imamat Course provides a person to be competent for Imamat and Khitabat. Apart from this course people are also taught to read and write urdu, nazra Quran majeed, Sirat-e-Rasool (Alaihissalam) and other relevant problems faced by the Umma. Daily teaching for the course is of 2hours 40minutes which is divided into 4periods. It starts 07:00 am to 9:40 am.
Under the aegis of Al-Hashmi Trust Darul Uloom Hazrath Hashimpeer at Dharwad & Madarsa Vajihuddin husaini at Kudgi has also been established where students are immensely benefited from religious education.
A Center for Islamic Studies, Computer Center & Center for Documentation & preservation of manuscripts are also on the agenda of Al-Hashmi Eduational Trust (Regd.)
We appeal to our brothers in Islam to come forward & donate generously for the accomplishment of this noble cause.

Original article is on August 13, 2008
The following our paper is now officially published in Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science (IOVS).
Y. Yasuno, M. Miura, K. Kawana, S. Makita, M. Sato, F. Okamoto, M. Yamanari, T. Iwasaki, T. Yatagai, and T. Oshika, "Visualization of Sub-retinal Pigment Epithelium Morphologies of Exudative Macular Diseases by High-Penetration Optical Coherence Tomography," Inv. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 50, 405-513 (2009).
This paper demonstrates the application of new OCT with one-micrometer probe wavelength (high-penetration OCT; HP-OCT) to age-related macular degeneration. 14 eyes were involved in this study, and the clinical utility of HP-OCT was discussed. Preliminary results which suggest higher robustness of HP-OCT to cataract than standard OCT were also shown. The paper is available on the journal web site (IOVS).

The wild west-themed Express Raider is separated into two different game types; a sideways scrolling fighting sequence and a shooting sequence. The player controls a train robber, or 'Express Raider', and must try to steal the bags of money from the moving locomotives.
During the fighting sequence, the Raider must fight the bank teller, hit the coyotes and then jump onto the train before it speeds away. Once on the train, he must fight his way past other enemies and avoid various projectiles, such as bottles, bullets and shovels full of coal. Players must be careful to duck under the low signs that come along as the train is travelling. Also, once a train carriage is clear of enemies, a bomb will appear between the current carriage and the next; players must quickly jump over to the next carriage before the bomb goes off, otherwise the Raider will fall from the train and a life is lost. If the Express Raider manages to reach the train engine, the loot will be captured and the game will then move on to the shooting sequence.
In the shooting sequence, the Express Raider rides a horse and must shoot at the enemies that appear from the windows of a train carriage. They will shoot back at the player and throw various objects. Players can hit the DUCK button to avoid the enemy attacks. A woman will appear at regular intervals offering the player a bag of money, if the player shoots the woman, a life is lost. After the shooting sequence has been completed, the game will start over again with an increased level of difficulty.

Pray for the SSby Web Ruble
Web Ruble writes: I am a retired newspaper reporter, and now a novelist and short story writer. Having once been in U.S. forces in Europe just after WWII, I was in a MI unit and free to travel and visit a lot, and even live, so to speak, with German citizens. Many were disturbed and remorseful about the Nazi era. This story is fiction, but of the type I heard over and over.
The sway amused her. The clackety-thump of steel wheels on iron rails made her feel warm inside, knowing that every click took her one step farther from that terrible place from which she had been released some 26 hours earlier.
Margareta Steinman, 54, still expecting something to go wrong, nevertheless had enough hope and confidence to wax dreamy -- pushing aside the dismal nitch and nightmare she had been in for the last black three years.
With each passing kilometer she was distancing herself from that devil's churn called Buchenwald Concentration Camp, and that was good. However, as the second- class train rattles south it is getting perhaps nearer to Dachau, another cesspool of misery. She didn't know where Dachau is, except that she had heard it was near Munich.
Geography was a handy thing to know if several years ago you were one rung up the social foot stool from peasant status. If you had that knowledge, theoretically you would know which azimuth to pursue to avoid authorities and trouble.
Nevertheless, in Margareta's case and level of education that hadn't worked. Now inexplicably released more than three years later -- she still feels uneasy. 'Tis now the early fall of 1944, and after 38 months at Buchenwald she had learned not to trust any circumstance. At first she had insisted that she was not Jewish. Later, it didn't matter. She had been regarded as something less than peasant class. Someone despicable. The great unwashed. A traitor.
Yes, she is a traitor. Not to Germany. But to its Nazi government. She had been naively outspoken.
Margareta Steinman is not Jewish as her name suggests. Nevertheless, she had protested to authorities vociferously when the neighboring Stieglitz family vanished one evening back in 1940. Actually, it had been at night when Gestapo police arrived and took away the whole Stieglitz clan -- five of them. At the time she didn't know about the camps. She had just asked questions and made a pest of herself, as she demanded to know what had happened to the Stieglitzes.
Authorities -- mainly Gestapo -- told her to mind her own business. However, she had continued to be troublesome, and finally a court judge – Jozef Arthaud – had signed a warrant for her arrest.
Two days later, she was hauled before a magistrate in Munich. A couple of the jail guards and Gestapo had whacked her in the face a few times when she got mouthy. In dirty rags and looking hammered and sick, she arrived before spiffy-looking Judge Hans Ketterer. The unsympathetic judge, listened to a half
hour's testimony from police, and then asked Margareta her political views, and what she was doing trying to save "a worthless Jewish family," that nearly everyone had forgotten.
Though she was so weak she could barely stand, she nevertheless pushed aside sobs and told the judge ("and all of Germany") that they were all wrong and that "God would punish" (them).
"Ga ga hah," the judge laughed. "Oh yes, you no doubt sit on the right-hand side of the Christ and know everything. We'll see. You are miserable now? Just wait. Before it's over you will beg us to hear a different attitude. But we won't be listening. Har har." Ketterer then called an end to proceedings and sentenced her to 36 months at Buchenwald.
It was later when she learned of the tragically ill-fated White Rose movement -- an anti-war movement started by German university students in Munich and Berlin -- and how the Nazis eliminated it quickly with executions by guillotine. The movement was dead and buried by early 1943.
At Buchenwald? Still going strong in late 1944. Squalor. Crowded. Filth. Concentrations of ragged people speaking other languages as well as German. Many of them seriously ill and getting worse. Most were starving and therefore getting weaker. Death made daily visits. Inmate crews removed the dead sometimes three times a week. Some inmates were pleasant and reasonable to get along with. Some were not.
All were miserable. Daily some were lined up and forced to take off their clothes. Guards laughed at them as they saw their emaciated bodies or plush-bottomed nakedness. The prisoners by that time were beyond humiliation. They were desperate. Unfeeling guards whipped them and ran them barefoot and shivering down the muddy yard to compounds of several buildings. Some apparently sensed they were not going to showers as promised.
Many screamed and tried to bolt. Rifle shots were often heard.
Some young women were separated from the others and taken to "headquarters" -- no doubt for the pleasure of the officers. But even though she found it difficult to believe that good German folk could be so cruel, she knew that non-returning prisoners had gone to their deaths. As far as Margareta knew none escaped. They simply were never seen again.
Quaking terror gripped her and others. Screams, cries and hollers came at night from the "cow sheds" (over-cramped living quarters).
New prisoners arrived at least weekly, and quite often several times a week. At first this huddled rabble became outraged and noisy. Still later after months of imprisonment, those who had not been moved out or shot grew despondent and too weak to protest. And eventually they became too weak to even move.
Hope had long since evaporated. Many just stared into nothingness . . .waiting . . . for what?
Meanwhile, the incarcerated, who were still somewhat able, began cooperating with guards or other authorities in hopes of surviving. They began spying for authorities and ratting on fellow prisoners.
In her barracks, guards at least once a week would enter and shout, "Time for torture." Several women -- and sometimes men from their barracks -- were jerked out. Hours of screams, wailing and sobbing would be heard. Some returned whimpering in bloody, bruised and otherwise savaged condition. Others did not come back.
This disrupted the prisoners' numbness, and re-triggered heart-rendering fear. In this way, prisoners who could still function were kept in line.
Margareta, she is loathe to admit, had been one of those trying to survive by cooperating. She had tried to curry favor with the Gestapo or the guards. She had lost all pride and sense of honor. Terrible. Even though she had turned in no one, she had almost no self respect.
Then a few days ago something miraculous happened. Guards marched her to camp headquarters.
A starch-uniformed, blue-eyed Gestapo officer -- looking intelligent, crisp and imperious behind a clean, large desk -- told her that her 36 months were up and that she would be released the next day.
She couldn't believe it. Oh, she knew her 36 months had expired, but didn't expect the commandant to do anything about it. Well, she observed upon being told she could leave, the Germans ARE precise; keep lots of records and orders, and it is their nature to act on them.
This is remarkable, she pondered, as she had heard the camps seldom turn anyone loose. However, Buchenwald did this time. She was surprised but asked no questions. She walked out the gate without so much as a backwards glance. She hurried down the road before somebody changed his, or her, mind.
When she boarded the train, a railroad official looked at her papers, sneered, and pointed to the train door.
She stood in the vestibule. A kind man -- still, however, in uniform -- motioned her to go into the adjacent car and take a seat. She was shocked. She had arrived in a 40 et 8 cattle car.
- - - -
Villages are burning. Piles of brick stand apparently where there have been buildings. As the train moves through the Rhur and down the Rhein, she can't miss the severe destruction from bombings. Villages and small towns are still on fire here, too, and while civilians are disheveled and hurrying to evacuate, soldiers are marching here and there as if everything were normal.
Even though she feels sick about the shell-shocked civilians -- mainly women with small children or very old couples -- she feels good that Germany obviously is losing the war. Or, at least, the Nazis are not racing to victory as their propaganda claims..
She recalls that in recent months at Buchenwald she and other prisoners had observed overhead strange, foreign-looking aircraft and they heard explosions and lots of sirens. She had even seen searchlights at night. Nevertheless, it triggered little excitement in camp as prisoners believed they would all die long before help ever reached them.
Her head now swimming, she could not remember too many of the events subsequent to the hassle of boarding the train, but about an hour later she remembers finding herself en-trained and rattling south toward Frankfurt. What a rare and wonderful experience! Moreover, she is reasonably comfortable with papers in order. Railroad folk are going quietly about their business and ignoring her. Just as she had hoped. Too good to be true. God is on her side.
The only thing bothering her now is the fact that she has to stop at Schwandorf and transfer to a train headed for Munich. Her ticket is good enough to get only to Munich. However, she has some money in an old sock that might buy a ticket out of there.
She knows a death camp exists at Dachau somewhere near Munich, but she plans to catch a train immediately for Switzerland or perhaps Schwaebisch Germany.
Nevertheless, she remains uneasy, because she easily could wander into trouble in Schwandorf and Munich, especially the latter. However, she must try it. If she could just just get west out of Munich, she would try to get to the Schwaebisch village of Gemuend, tucked in the Black Forest. She perhaps could stay out of sight there and find a quiet way to survive. Even though she might starve, it would still be better than that devil's elbow called Buchenwald. Or, if trouble was omnipresent in Schwabland she would try to get to Switzerland.
She remembers Baden Gemuend from pre-war days when she occasionally would visit her Aunt Hilda there. However, this time she dares not contact her if she were even yet still alive. It would be too dangerous for Hilda, who by now would be in her early 90s, or at least 80s.
Margareta muses, "God has been with me so far. But I have so little faith. Something easily could go wrong, and probably will. That's the way my life has been. Why, oh why?" She sobs quietly.
A warm feeling washes over her. But it is followed by wave of caution. The train is entering Schwandorf. Often the trains from Berlin go straight through Schwandorf to Munich, of at least they used to. But not this one. She has to transfer.
The train slows to a stop and somebody yells "Muenchen umsteigen!" (Munich transfer.)
Margareta assembles her bundles and moves to the doorway to debark the train. One official notices her, frowns, approaches, and demands to see her papers. She produces them. He glances at 'em and rudely sends her and baggage sprawling along the station platform. She whimpers and picks up her belongings, and scurries into the station.
For a small station, it is relatively busy. Perhaps this is good. Perhaps the more the traffic the less she would be noticed. However, she must go the ticket counter and find out train departures to Munich.
She does and learns that a sooty, third-class chugger is leaving within a few minutes. The clerk points to the track. She dredges enough coin to buy a ticket and starts moving toward the departure gate.
She no more than gets started when she notices a smooth uniformed SS officer approaching her. Fear like she has never experienced seizes her and she gets ill. She is about to vomit. She reasons: This man will certainly smack me in the face a few times and probably ship me to a prison where I'll be beaten and probably executed.
The fear is so severe, she freezes and can't move. The officer suavely introduces himself as Col. Friederich Kirchenmeier, and asks her name and then demands her papers. He pores over them several minutes, smiles and hands them back.
"Where are you going?"
"First to Munich and then, eventually . . . to Baden Gemuend," she says in a weak, queer voice that doesn't sound like her at all.
"You have a ticket?"
"May I see it?"
He's asking me?
She produces it, and waiting, and is prepared for the worst.
"Third class eh?" the colonel asks.
"Oh yes," she says.
"We can do better than that . . .give it to me," he says.
She surrenders it and begins to sob.
He leaves and returns a few moments later, and says, "Why are you crying? No need. Here."
She whimpers, "I've suffered so much in camps. The authorities released me. I just want to go home. . . What's that?"
"Well, it's a first class ticket on a train that leaves in an hour. Please take it and ride in comfort and class. That way -- on a first class train -- officials will be less likely to check you out . . . If things go right, perhaps you can survive the war. It's almost over, you know. We Germans are losing. The Allies soon will be here. God bless.
He handed her the ticket and walked off. After a few yards, he stopped, turned and waved goodbye. He then turned back and strode away.
She stood there dumbfounded and a warm, secure feeling came over her anew.
- - - - - -
A year later, almost to the very day, she is in a medical center in Switzerland, having tea with a hospital nurse. Margareta had developed heart trouble and had just exited the doctor's office where she had gone for a checkup. The doctor gave her a favorable report.
"Let's have a crumpet with our tea . . .I'll buy," says Sonja the nurse.
Margareta begins to cry. Kindness. Surely most years she would have been knocked to the ground in that Schwandorf rail station, and would have received similar treatment in subsequent encounters with Nazi officialdom.
"You've been through a terrible time," Sonja says. "But at this late date you are crying. Why?
"Kindness," Magareta says. "I'm so unused it. And . . .I don't know why God is so good to me. I have had such little faith." She tells Sonja part of the story.
"Pray for that SS Colonel," Sonja said.
"Oh, I do every day." Margareta said. And a warm feeling came over her again. This time to stay.

Ada Programming/Platform/VM/Java
Ada and the JVM[edit]
The Ada→J-Code compilers translate Ada programs directly to Java bytecode for the Virtual Machine. Both Ada programmers and Java programmers can use each other's classes almost seamlessly, including inheritance. Ada adds desirable language features like a strong base type system and full generics, Java VMs add garbage collection and a rich set of libraries.
"Almost every Ada 95 feature has a very direct mapping using J-code, and almost every capability of J-code is readily represented in some Ada 95 construct."—Taft, 1996
There are (at least) two compilers that support this: AppletMagic and JGNAT. The following example assumes AppletMagic. Changes required to make them work with JGNAT should be minimal. Some are explained in due course.
Ada programs for JVMs (see for example Programming:J2ME) appear to be surprisingly smooth. Unlike creating, and sometimes using, a binding to some library, using Ada→J-code compilers will make binding issues disappear.
Naming Conventions[edit]
AppletMagic and JGNAT use naming conventions for deciding how to distribute compiled code across Java class files. When a (tagged) type together with its surrounding package should be mapped to one Java class file, AppletMagic requires the type name to have a known suffix, and otherwise to be the same as the package name:
package Foo is type Foo_Obj is tagged ... ... end Foo;
Similarly, JGNAT has some conventions that effectively turn type names into key words. These names tend to be short, and general, here is Typ:
package Foo is type Typ is tagged ... ... end Foo;
Java Uses References, So Does Ada, Then[edit]
The mapping of Java's primitive types to corresponding Ada types is straightforward. (The semantics of integer types differ between the languages when the values approach a subtype's limits. JVM integers can jump from positive to negative when adding in excess of the maximum integer, Ada programs should not permit this. The compiler docs will explain to what extent Ada semantics will be preserved on the JVM.)
For reference types—everything is allocated in the heap—there is another convention.
package Foo is type Foo_Obj is tagged null record; type Foo_Ptr is access all Foo_Obj'Class; procedure Op(x: access Foo_Obj); end Foo;
(JGNAT sources use Ref instead of Foo_Ptr.) The classwide pointers can be used just like Java references. Notice that primitive operations can have access parameters. This is a natural choice when interfacing to Java.
When Ada programmers wish to use Java objects in their programs, they will see the Java classes as normal packages, and the objects following the conventions outlined above. The compilers offer tools for creating Ada packages from Java .class files. Given the Java class Foo, the Ada package will be as show below.
public class Foo
public void op() {};
with java.lang; use java.lang; package Foo is -- pragma Preelaborate; -- uncomment where possible type Foo_Obj is new Object with null record; type Foo_Ptr is access all Foo_Obj'Class; function new_Foo(this : Foo_Ptr := null) return Foo_Ptr; procedure op(this : access Foo_Obj); pragma Import (Java, op); pragma Import (Java_Constructor, new_Foo); end Foo;
- new_Foo
- This is a constructor function corresponding to the default constructor of the Java type. (Usually you won't be concerned with default constructors.) There is a special convention identifier for constructors, Java_Constructor.
- pragma Import
- As both the constructor and the op method are defined in the Java class, they will be imported just like when importing C, or Fortran functions, using convention identifiers Java_Constructor, and Java, respectively.
To be continued.

Over the past decade, Dr. MacKenzie has distinguished himself as an outstanding educator in anatomy. Dr. MacKenzie has received several awards and honors for Excellence in Teaching at Queen's University, attesting to his commitment and innovations in undergraduate education in anatomy. His field of study focuses on pedagogy in anatomical sciences. Teaching is a dynamic process that requires constant revision and skillful manipulation to be successful. Students learn more effectively if they are motivated, interact and engaged (active learning). Thus, the onus is on the teacher to implement strategies that promote and induce active learning that ultimately ends in the student being accountable for their learning. Anatomical Science Education Research: The didactic approach to anatomical sciences is the traditional lecture and lab. A more constructive method, however, is necessary for the majority of the students to become effective learners. I am currently evaluating many different strategies focused on active learning in large classes that are interactive and as practical as possible.

Actually, it's more of a new website than a new blog. I'm still working on updating the followers' links - I think Bloglovin' has successfully transferred, but not Feedly. And let's not go poking around in the website-y portion just yet. I'm getting there. This is the first post I'm writing in Wordpress, so if it's all funky...I blame Wordpress, not me. There will be a giveaway to reward you for sticking around!
{And don't even get me started on getting comments emailed to me for response. I'll get there. I promise.}
Anyway, there was some sewing around here this week, too. Most of it you got a sneak peek of yesterday, but here's a quick summary.
I made a cat mug rug-ish thing for Barbara of Cat Patches - we visited her in her camper and totally exhausted her with the enthusiasm of the kids. The cat is based on Oh Fransson's Catvent and the scraps were courtesy of Lori.
And I finally finished stitching the binding and declared Christmas Stars done! Well, minus stitching the hanging sleeve in place, but obviously I'm not going to do that until the night I want to hang it.
And I made four blocks for Step Three of Ripples and Reflections. And they were the WORST. Three hours and forty minutes of cutting, stitching, unstitching, restitching... But they are done! And I have two weeks before I need to tackle another step...thank goodness.
And I assembled Spin Cycle! So glad I went with no cornerstones - I love how it looks with solid sashing. Now I'm pulling together my order of Miss Kate for the borders. {And my Weekender via Jennie. And...some other things. Was that a giveaway hint? Yes, yes it was.}
Once I was done with those, I looked around the sewing room for something to do next...and came up with nothing. My husband's deployment was extended, so now I'm back to not being able to long-arm for the foreseeable future. Which means I couldn't focus on what to do next, since it won't be finished any time soon anyway.
It was so bad that I cleaned the kitchen. Really.
Eventually I decided to work on my not-yet-born-nephew's quilt. {My sister objects to me calling him fetus-nephew, but refuses to tell me what his name will be.} That took all of one day.
So I decided to trim the HSTs leftover from my Layer Cake Snowballs and start fiddling with layouts. Because it's obvious that I don't have enough Kate Spain Christmas stuff. Must.add.pillows!
I think I lean toward star layouts, huh? And yeah...I lost one at some point. Crud. That's not helping my funk.
Well, maybe the palette of the week will help! Theme: Disney. Oh, that's an easy one. I think I saw the Lion King four times in the theater when it first came out. And I forced the Dude to go with me when it was re-released in 3-D. And we saw the Broadway show on tour. Hands down, best Disney movie ever. Don't even argue.
And I have a secret reason for choosing this particular palette - I joined an Instagram mini swap, and my partner's favorite colors is one of the above. And it's not a color I use, so I didn't know what to put with it. Now I have a plan!

Eighty percent of Canadians will experience back pain at one point in their lives. It is a serious health problem that often goes untreated. For many people, the pain can keep them from work, school or prevent them from keeping up with their busy lives and enjoying what they like to do. Early treatment from a Chiropractor can help you get back on your feet.
A chiropractor is a back pain specialist, treating numerous muscular, skeletal and neurological symptoms and disorders. Chiropractic is a hands-on, drug-free approach that can immediately treat the source of your back pain, not just cover up the symptoms. Studies show that Chiropractic treatment is increasingly recognized as the most safe and effective treatment for most patients with back pain. Chiropractic is a safe treatment for infants to the elderly.
Massage Therapy and Acupuncture are the best compliment to Chiropractic care, that is why we have included these services to our clinic. A one-stop-shop for your health care needs.
A healthy spine is essential for a healthy body. For some people, chiropractic treatment is like a regular tune-up for their back, to help deal with the daily wear and tear of life. Chiropractic adjustments allow your spine to return to its proper position and improve your range of motion, letting your feel like yourself again.
Anyone with a spine is a candidate for Chiropractic care, not only those who suffer from back pain...It's simple, and it works!

Subscribe to A Concord Pastor Comments

Thanks for sharing this homily, Father. A few years back, the Spanish-speaking priest at our Spanish Mass here in California was transferred to the English Mass by our bishop with no warning, just one week's notice. The only problem: his English was not up to the task. I taught him English rapidly, nearly overnight. How? Using homilies from online -- they had the perfect content for him. I bet there are others out there doing the same thing, and thank God that some priests are sharing theirs in this manner, probably with no idea how useful they are in ways they might never have considered. Have a good 2016!ReplyDelete
Thanks for your kind words, Elizabeth - and for the wonderful use you put my homilies to - praise God!

$14 Billion Hedge Fund Continues to Unload Its Stake in American International Group Inc.
Almost since the day it acquired AIG , hedge fund Third Point, run by noted investor Daniel Loeb, has been selling off its massive stake in the company.
And that only continued in the first quarter, as it slashed its total position in AIG -- including its options -- by almost 50%.
The impetus for the investment
In the fall of 2012, Third Point bought 23.5 million shares of AIG, which at the time were worth $770 million. In the quarterly letter outlining why the investment was made, the fund stated that as the U.S. Treasury continued to unload its position in the bailed out-insurer, it was able to "purchase AIG at a discount to intrinsic value."
AIG received $182 billion in bailout funds during the financial crisis, but the government itself received a nearly $23 billion return on its own investment.
Yet despite the massive profits, Third Point said when discussing the massive position it made in the third quarter of 2012 -- it began purchasing shares in March of that year -- that "the U.S. Treasury's impending sales of its AIG holdings as an instance of one of our favorite types of investments: 'forced' (or non-economically motivated) selling."
The fund believed that AIG offered not only upside from its discount but also the business offerings it had, and following its reorganization and changes as a result of the financial crisis, based on the value its stock stood at, it provided "significant upside."
The continual sell-off
But since amassing its massive position in AIG, Third Point has steadily been unloading it:
Even though AIG's stock rose by 55% since Third Point first began buying into the insurer, it has continued to sell off its investment. While Third Point isn't moving at the same rapid pace it did when it first bought into AIG, it nonetheless hasn't been shy to continue its selling streak.
The reason for the sell-off
Does this massive sell-off mean Loeb and Third Point no longer believe in AIG? We can't say for certain, but it's critical to remember what the firm notes is its investment approach:
Third Point employs a flexible, opportunistic investment style. We seek to identify situations with a recognizable catalyst which we anticipate will unlock value. We focus on delivering exceptional risk adjusted returns with limited market exposure.
Part of the reason behind the original investment was that Third Point thought the Treasury was holding in value, and the sale of its position served as the "catalyst" to "unlock value." But now that the government stake has officially been sold, it makes sense Third Point would begin selling off its own position, too.
The Foolish bottom line
Does that mean investors should also shy away from AIG? The short answer is no. Third Point's initial investment was focused on the Treasury's unloading of its position as a result of the bailout, and after that had been completed, it made sense that Third Point itself began to sell its shares.
Ultimately, AIG offers a compelling long-term investment consideration, and it has seen strong improvements in its core insurance operations over the years. When you add in the rebound in its brand value and consider that other hedge fund managers still call AIG a favorite investment, the reality is that just because one firm has steadily sold its shares, that doesn't mean you should.

Taxpayers Lose Virtually All Charitable Contributions For Failure to Meet Strict Substantiation Rules in the Law and Regulations
Another couple discovered that the documentation rules for charitable contributions are very strict in the case of Haag v. Commissioner, TC Summary Opinion 2016-29. This case dealt with both cash and noncash contributions, along with other deduction items the IRS disputed. But our key matter of interest will be for the charitable contributions, since the strict documentation rules are very difficult for taxpayers to comply with, but the Courts feel compelled to enforce those rules since Congress passed them.
The issue involved both cash and noncash contributions. The cash contributions related to the standard situation clients often assert in making a certain amount of weekly contributions to a church. Though we are not told so in this case, quite often the taxpayer will claim they put cash into an offering plate.
In this case the Court described the donations and claimed deductions as follows:
Petitioners attended and made donations to separate churches in 2012. Petitioners testified that they each donated approximately $20 per week at their respective churches in 2012. Petitioners did not provide any documentation to substantiate their cash contributions.
The Tax Court notes the provisions regarding documenting charitable contributions, stating:
Charitable contributions are deductible only if verified in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary. Sec. 170(a)(1); see Van Dusen v. Commissioner, 136 T.C. 515, 530 (2011). No deduction for a contribution of cash, a check, or a monetary gift in any amount is allowed unless the donor maintains a bank record or a written communication from the donee showing the name of the donee organization, the date of the contribution, and the amount of the contribution. Sec. 170(f)(17).
Of course in this case the taxpayers did not maintain such documentation nor did they have a written communication from the charity acknowledging the contributions. As the Court notes, this is fatal to the deduction:
Petitioners claimed a deduction of $2,000 for cash donations made to their respective churches. Petitioners did not produce a written acknowledgment of the contributions from either church, nor did they produce any other records to substantiate the amounts and dates of their reported cash contributions. In the absence of additional corroborating evidence supporting petitioners' trial testimony, respondent's determination disallowing a deduction for cash contributions is sustained.
The taxpayer's claimed noncash contributions are described by the Court as follows:
During the early months of 2012 Ms. Haag moved out of the couple's home. She testified that she made two sizable donations of various household items to the Salvation Army, including clothing, furniture, and kitchenware.
...Petitioners attached Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions, to their tax return and reported donations of various items to the Salvation Army and a veterans charity. Petitioners reported that they used "Comparative sales" to determine the fair market value of the items they donated. On a supplemental schedule Ms. Haag assigned a value of $2,082 to donated clothing and $1,087 to donated furniture and kitchenware.
This also is not that unusual—taxpayers tend to make large noncash contribution when moving, since it's easier often to drop off unneeded items at a charity than haul it all to the new home and unpack it.
But the applicable documentation rules for these contributions are more involved than those that were involved for the cash church contributions. First, there is the issue the claimed deductions to each organization were more than $250, so the Court pointed out these issues would apply:
In the case of a charitable contribution deduction of $250 or more, section 170(f)(8)(A) provides that the taxpayer must obtain a contemporaneous written acknowledgment from the donee. Section 170(f)(8)(B) provides in relevant part that the contemporaneous written acknowledgment must include the amount of cash and a description of any property other than cash contributed, whether the donee organization provided any goods or services in consideration, in whole or in part, for any cash or property contributed, and, if so, a description and good-faith estimate of the value of any goods or services provided by the donee. See sec. 1.170A-13(b), (f), Income Tax Regs. Section 170(f)(8)(C) provides that a written acknowledgment is contemporaneous when the taxpayer obtains it on or before the earlier of (1) the date the taxpayer files a tax return for the year of contribution; or (2) the due date, including extensions, for filing that tax return.
Those rules would have applied had the single cash contributions to the church been $250 or more, but the $20 per week contribution would not have triggered these rules (though they still needed more than they had). But noncash contributions have additional requirements.
As the Court notes:
In addition to the written acknowledgment requirement, section 170(f)(11) and related regulations establish more detailed requirements for substantiation of contributions of property other than money. For noncash contributions of $500 or less, the taxpayer must substantiate the contribution with a receipt from the donee indicating the donee's name, the date and location of the contribution, and "[a] description of the property in detail reasonably sufficient under the circumstances." Sec. 1.170A-13(b)(1), Income Tax Regs. For noncash contributions in excess of $500, the taxpayer normally must also maintain written records showing the manner in which the item was acquired, the approximate date of acquisition, and the cost or adjusted basis of the property. Id. subpara. (3); see Lattin v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1995-233.
Similarly, the rules provide standards for what will be the deductible amount for a noncash contribution:
For noncash contributions, the value of the contribution generally is the fair market value of the property at the time of contribution. Hewitt v. Commissioner, 109 T.C. 258, 261 (1997), aff'd without published opinion, 166 F.3d 332 (4th Cir. 1998); sec. 1.170A-1(c)(1), Income Tax Regs. The fair market value of contributed property is the price at which the property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts. Sec. 1.170A-1(c)(2), Income Tax Regs.
In this case while the Court found that the taxpayers failed to meet those documentation tests, the IRS decided it could allow $250 for such deductions.
Petitioners failed to offer any contemporary written acknowledgments from the donee organizations stating whether they were provided any goods or services in return for the donations as required by section 170(f)(8)(A) or receipts or written records as required by section 170(f)(11) and the related regulations. Accordingly, we sustain respondent's determination limiting petitioners' deduction for noncash charitable contributions to $250.
Clients often balk at meeting these documentation requirements, instead continuing to claim they "put $20 in the offering plate each week" or responding with an inquiry about their charitable contributions with the statement that it's "about what I gave last year" with no documentation.
As should be clear, that simply isn't going to work when the taxpayer's position is challenging. While the rules may be absurdly strict, reality is that Congress wrote them into the law and those rules are being enforced by the IRS and the Courts.

By Adam Parker, Post and Courier, February 11, 2017
Pictured: Legendary, sweetgrass basket sculptor Mary Jackson who is based in Charleston, SC.
"Contemporary art" is an opaque term. What exactly does it mean? The broadest definition, one to which Gibbes Museum Executive Director Angela Mack subscribes, is "art made by a living person." If the artist is contemporary, then the art she produces is contemporary.
But that definition is too encompassing for Tim Hussey. What if the art produced is an impressionist watercolor of Bulls Bay, or a portrait in the classical style? Does it qualify as "contemporary"? Hussey says to do so art should have "substance beyond its representational value." It should say something about the human condition or convey emotional depth or express some explicit or implicit idea. It should break the rules in some way.
Erin Nathanson of The Southern gallery is perhaps less severe, but she too thinks contemporary art is work that's not only new, not only made by living artists, not only representative of our peculiar historical moment, but imbued with significance. "We want our shows to be about something," she said.
Of course, all art was at one time "contemporary." Giotto embraced a naturalism never before seen, and it blew people's minds. When Bronzino painted sculpture-like, elongated figures, he was abandoning the clean harmony and proportion of the Renaissance style and interjecting the artist's unique discernment.
Rembrandt broke all kinds of rules, using a dark color palette and increasingly expressionistic technique. As he aged he worried less and less about what his clients thought and made pictures, including many self-portraits, that were as much about Rembrandt the Artist as the subjects he portrayed. He was the Beethoven of painters, breaking the discipline free of its age-old patronage-based system.
Flash forward to Cezanne, who was among the first to venture into the world of abstraction. Or consider Warhol, who made art inspired by commerce and popular culture. And what about Jackson Pollack and his action painting? You get the point.
All of these artists were breaking rules and presenting a unique visual experience. They also were all expressing new ideas, sometimes delving into the philosophical or spiritual realm, sometimes insisting on social commentary, sometimes challenging aesthetic expectations.
So what is contemporary art? You decide.VIEW THE FULL ARTICLE

This is unconfirmed yet its so possible that we thought we better share the news. Within a forum on U2START.com a user named "u2lemonman" posted the following with images.
Well looking I what I have just received from a friend from London who is well connected, it looks like a release is closer than we think.
I am having trouble uploading the images so I have mailed them to the staff to help me share them with you
What we do know is that this subway photograph was taken in New York City and that the subway stop was close to ELS. We always thought the new project should be called Lucky 13. In the upper right hand corner a reference "u2luckneu01" which we do not have any idea. Now scroll down to look at the liner notes. This is the way promotional copies are released to statiions. HOWEVER. Band never send the full release out on the first go around. Normally its months later.
Note the release date June 13th 2014, its this is the case its time to start the promotional tracks and interviews and U2 all the time. So boys is this the real deal ?
