- Try the partridge and stay a whileAmberVIPDined on 9/20/2014Love the vibe – effortlessly intimate and sexy with enough space between tables so that you feel a part of the restaurant while still maintaining your privacy. Our waiter was excellent and we enjoyed our meal. Desserts were a little lackluster, but the stuffed partridge – a special for the evening – was flavorful with perfectly crisped skin, very representative of the "Chasse" part of the restaurant. I loved their salad too – beautiful greens simply dressed with candied pecans and fresh figs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PerfectBrooklynDined on 9/18/2014A kind welcome, prompt seating, respectful but not overbearing service, and of course - over-the-top food was topped off by a very sweet, surprise after-dinner drink to help us celebrate our engagement. A great evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentPillullaDined on 9/16/2014I love this restaurant. It's the perfect place for a nice dinner in an special occasion. Every year I come back for my birthday.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellente cuisine - bruyantOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/13/2014Ce restaurant demeure année après année un choix incontournable pour la qualité des plats que l'on y sert. Le risotto est l'un des meilleurs que j'ai mangé, où que ce soit. L'assiette chasse et pêche mérite le détour. La carte des vins est impeccable. Le service est agréable, sympathique et attentionné, sans excès. Le restaurant se situe légèrement en dessous du rez de chaussé et la luminosité s'en ressent puisqu'il n'y a pas de grandes fenêtres donnant sur l'extérieur. L'éclairage vient compenser le tout. Le seul reproche demeure le niveau sonore élevé que je note à chaque visite. Il y a souvent des groupes dans ce restaurant et les voix augmentent graduellement à mesure que les vins sont dégustés et que la soirée avance.Special Features:
- Food was amazingMaryDined on 9/12/2014Expensive but food is perfect! I appreciated in particular the dish "chasse et peche". Appetizers are marvelous too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Malgré tout déçu!JeanClaudeVIPDined on 9/11/2014Pourquoi déçu? Au club chasse et pèche, Nous nous attendions à un menu plus "sauvage" comme truite de rivière et non du flétan ou du sanglier sauvage plutôt que du porc. L'entrée de pétoncle était minimaliste (2 pétoncles de taille moyenne pour 18$ avant taxes et service). Cependant, la qualité des produits, leur cuisson et présentation étaient irréprochable. Le service était sympathique tout en demeurant très professionnel.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WayneWayneDined on 9/3/2014Waiter was attentive and fully explained every item on the menu and was bang on when asked for suggestions or best of two choices. I had the seared Foie Gras as a started followed with Chasse et Peche (veal and lobster tail). Waiter did wine pairing by the glass and his choices fit the meal. My wife had the salad and Ocean Delivery (this night is was Halibut Murniere) both were excellent. We shared the Maple dessert. We will be back and have recommend it to colleagues already.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PierreVIPDined on 9/3/2014Haven't been there in a long time, forgot how good it is. Not too heavy contrary to what I recalled, wonderful presentation and taste. Limited choice of wine below $100 a bottle, could do better in that aspect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Highly Recommend Chasse & PecheUnhappyDined on 9/2/2014Amazing food & service. I truly enjoyed this meal from beginning to end and the service was flawless. This restaurant is very pricey, but definitely worth a visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- IncredibleBenHudDined on 8/26/2014One of the best dining experience of my life! The braised porc risotto appetizer covered in fois gras shavings is to die for. The service was awesome, the experience was definitely worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/23/2014The food was excellent and the dining room was unpretentious. My only complaint was that the next table was a bit too loud. The server who recited the entire menu with a detailed explanation for each item was outstanding. My husband and I were very happy we came.Special Features:
- superb...fooddocDined on 8/23/2014A brilliant restaurant. Took our three kids and were made exceptionally welcome. The food was outstanding and having come from Sydney, Australia where brilliant food surrounds, we were taken aback by the excellent cuisine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- L'un des meilleurs restos en ville!ymalgeDined on 8/22/2014Service et expérience gastronomique extraordinaire...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- All around wonderful dinnerDancinJDined on 8/22/2014My friend and I arrived late for our reservation at Le Club Chasse et Peche ( Montreal traffic) so I thought perhaps we would be a bit hurried with our meal. Not so! The service was attentive, yet as leisurely as we needed it to be to appreciate the marvels of the menu. Our waiter took time to describe each menu item and helped us choose a lovely red to accompany the meal. My meal, from the chantelle mushroom tart to the maple strata and coffee, was superb. The atmosphere has the feel of a private grotto or wine cellar, very dark and cozy but not at all stuffy or confining. I will certainly return to this restaurant next time I am in Montreal.Special Features:
- Very impressiveJAMSDined on 8/21/2014We were entertaining a guest from Italy who is an extraordinary cook and were intimidated at having to select a restaurant for an evening out. We opted to try the much-hyped Club Chasse et Peche to introduce our guest a different style of cuisine. We really hit the bullseye with this one! The foie gras was outstanding, the scallops and oysters were excellent. We ordered the house surf & turf and were very pleased. The veal was a little under-seasoned but very tender and the lobster was cooked to perfection. The service was friendly yet discreet, our plates with served and cleared with minimum fuss and our wine glass was always filled. We would highly recommend this restaurant to foodies, although close your eyes when they deliver the bill!Special Features:
- Fantastic for a special occasion!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/20/2014I took my fiance here for our special anniversary and I was pleasantly surprised! The food was different then the type of dinners we would have at other restaurants, it was infused with several different flavors and textures. The desert was an excellent touch which went perfect with a cup of coffee. Our waiter was polite as could be, explained everything, patient and was within earshot anytime we needed anything. Worth every penny when it mattered most.Special Features:
- Good dining experienceFinedinerDined on 8/16/2014This restaurant offers good food, an interesting menu and a very extensive wine list. It is among the better restaurants in Montreal with a good reputation for consistency in food and service. I would not qualify it as an gastronomical experience, but if you want a good meal this is a judicious choice. The restaurant décor is dark with low ceilings, feels a little claustrophobic. For many this will be a ``great experience``. However, if one has experienced fine dining, this is uninspired.Special Features:
- Top Montreal RestaurantThought4foodDined on 8/14/2014While Montreal is a great restaurant city generally, Le Club Chasse et Peche manages to be in the front ranks with the best of the best. Wonderful creative cuisine in a comfortable setting in Old Montreal.Special Features:
- Top notch restaurantDustyDined on 8/9/2014Absolutely fantastic restaurant. The food is INCREDIBLE. Huge wine list. The servers are complete professionals. Great ambience. Just a wonderful place. The only negative thing I could say is it is very expensive. But it's worth it for special occasions. If it was a BYO, I'd eat there as often as I could. Prob my favorite restaurant EVER.Special Features:
- excellent atmospheretwo4dinnerDined on 8/9/2014Excellent in all regards and an especially wonderful atmosphere. I am not qualified to rate the food since my palate is unsophisticated, but my wife, a former food critic with her own column, rated you at the highest level. The reservation process with its e-confirmation was well handled.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a good placenoneDined on 8/8/2014The food was masterful, the scene was pleasant and the service was great. If you can afford it, you should try it.Special Features:
- Simply one of my top 10 meals ever.RidlerGirl67VIPDined on 8/5/2014I try hard not to overstate when reviewing but I cannot say enough about our experience and meal here. The food was rich, elegant, sophisticated and complex yet we didn't have a stuffy or pretentious experience which made the evening so enjoyable. Service was attentive and frankly really friendly. The space is rather small and dark - suiting its history - intimate is the best word but it can be loud. I would go out of my way to return without question. Pricy, yes. Worth it, without a doubt.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beat my high expectationsJoesWineDined on 8/5/2014with all of my friends raving about this place I was worried it would disappoint, especially given the price point, but it was spectacular. It is expensive, but if you have a special occasion it can't be beat. The food was perfect, and the I want to especially shout out the service - my wife doesn't like to complain, but her steak was a bit rarer than she prefers (her mistake, she admits) - they made her feel really good and took care of it right away (they have some quick broiler, which didn't ruin it at all). I also want to shout out the waiter for his wine recommendation - I would never order such a young Barolo, but he insisted that this house made a more approachable style - it went perfectly with the dinner. Bravo!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great nightMTLmenashDined on 8/1/2014The understated welcome is quickly transformed into rooms with perfect lighting and ultra comfy seating. The service was excellent - our perfectly bilingual server ran down the entire menu for us. The highlights of the menu are the surprises: an ultra-fresh sashimi fluke starter that my wife ordered, then unveiling of the "chasse et peche" item in the menu: veal tenderloin with lobster, yummy; "chair et costaud" turned out to be a delectable Kobe steak with mushroom sauce... The wine list was huge! Although no rosé. At dessert we also found out that there is no regular filtered coffee, so I was offered a long Americano which did the job just fine. A Montreal treat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lucasDined on 7/31/2014Restaurant does not seem to respect OpenTable policies. Booked a 5.45 reservation. Doors locked when we arrived only to open 5 minutes later with no apologies. Noted while booking, an anaphylactic allergy to pistachios, also reminded them twice during evening. Yet still brought me a dessert riddled with pistachios not mentioned on menu. No apology really from waiter again considering they brought a loaded gun to the table. The least they could of done was comp the estimated one dollar worth food cost of that particular dessert but charged us anyhow upon reordering. Wife's birthday too. Not classy at all considering establishments so called high standards. Pretentious service to say the least. Shame really... Food was very good though.Special Features:
- Very loud, bad service, wrong orderJill4pucciDined on 7/26/2014Duck was good but overly salty, bread unappetizing bad sour dough, but not sure. Got surf & turf due to waiter's mistake; beef flavorless, nice buttery lobster. Took mistaken entree off check & gave us poor quality glass of wine to compensate. Highly overrated & overpriced!Special Features:
- WonderfulSammieLouDined on 7/25/2014We were excited to experience this restaurant as our concierge told us this was one of the best in Montreal. The food is imaginative, beautifully presented. We had the halibut which was really good. Our server was friendly and very capable. It's in le vieux ville in Montreal. It is expensive partly because of the Canadian tax system so be aware if you are not from Canada.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We'll be backliketodineoutxoDined on 7/24/2014It all comes together here, delicious food, special wine list, great atmosphere and outstanding service. We were warmly welcomed and quickly seated. Our server explained the menu, answered our questions, and offered suggestions when asked. Her wine suggestions were a revelation, and one of the reasons we'll be returning is to have another glass of the South African cinsaut which was recommended for the veal and lobster surf and turf. We love a restaurant that backs up their great food with a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Flawless ExperiencefatskinnyguyDined on 7/19/2014When I booked this table, all I wanted was a delicious and romantic dinner to celebrate me and my partners anniversary. What we got was Ray. Ray was an unpretentious, friendly, master at service. His timing was impeccable, knowledge masterful, and professionalism superb. The duck foi grois was decadent and delicious. i had the Suckling which was fantastic and my Partner had the hot and solid which was some sort of impossibly magnificent lobster cake. we dine at the finer restaurants in the DC and Baltimore area regularly and this venue beats most if not all we had tried before. Ray was great, but his colleagues all did a fantastic job at making us feel like we were guests of honor. Merci beaucoup!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My favourite restaurantBBbunnyDined on 7/18/2014This has got to be the best restaurant in Montreal, I've been here four times now and all four times I was completely blown away by how good their food is. I highly recommend their surf and turf (chasse et peche) which is half a lobster slow cooked in butter and veal filet mignon, honestly, all steak and lobsters should taste like that. It's absolutely cooked to perfection. Their appetizers are always wonderful as well, try their veal sweetbread or fritto misto with snowcrab & avocado salad. Overall such a nice restaurant, quiet and romantic place to go on a date.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great french cuisinelennxiDined on 7/4/2014Food is absolutely delicious, a bit pricy for relatively small size of food. But we'll, still worth it. Kinda hard to find it from outside, quite hidden. But atmosphere is awesome and service is great as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious and well composed mealTravBowDined on 7/4/2014Everything I want from a fine dining restaurant! The food was delicious, beautifully composed and creative. The interior of the restaurant, while showing the character of the older buildings of the old port, was charming (though could have used a very small fraction more light). The staff were helpful and very knowledgeable. Great evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very French, Very FantasticWestchesterfinediner007Dined on 7/4/2014The food here is to die for, and the service excels. A relatively small menu that the waiter will discuss with you in detail. Cannot wait to get back there!Special Features:
- Excellent foodTmluvtodineDined on 7/3/2014Gourmet dining at its finest. Hats off to the chefs. The food was meticulously presented and the quality of the meat and fish were outstanding. The waitress reccomended the wines for pairing and were right on.I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Special PlaceDingdangVIPDined on 7/2/2014We went for our wedding anniversary dinner and were not disappointed. Everything was special, from the greeting we had from the maître d' who recognized us from many years ago when he worked at another restaurant to the lovely decor and the fabulous food. Our waiter Gabriel whom we also knew from a previous restaurant helped guide us through the delectable menu and served us with a contagious smile. The hamachi tartare and scallop appetizers were divine, the duck magret and artic char perfection. The addition of a citrusy Sauvignon blanc topped off a superb meal. Not to mention the tempura zucchini flower and crabmeat appetizer that was sent to us compliments of the chef between services. I can not say enough about this terrific evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply amazing food!JCinPAVIPDined on 7/2/2014In an age where it seems so many restaurants are vying for attention with over-the-top dishes and presentation, this was perhaps the best meal we've had in years. The chef puts together fantastic yet subtle dishes where every bite delights. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about both the food and the wine list and recommended a Barolo that complemented both my wife's suckling pig and my lamb chops perfectly. A bit pricey, this (for us) is a special occasion restaurant, but this was on our 25th anniversary trip. If you are in Montreal and a real gourmet, do not miss this wonderful restaurant.Special Features:
- over the topRichmondFoodieVIPDined on 7/2/2014The menu is small, but you will want everything on it. For serious foodies only, and those with hefty wallets. The food was all superb. While the wine list is extensive and impressive, I would have appreciated a larger selection of wines by the glass (only about 4-5 each, white and red).Special Features:
- Fine diningRachachaDined on 7/1/2014This is what you'd expect from a $$$$ fine dining restaurant -- highly garnished food, beautifully presented, excellent service, steep prices. Was disappointed (and surprised) that we had let the restaurant know this was an anniversary special occasion for us, and they said and did nothing -- we expected more from this caliber of restaurant on that front. Would also recommend any future diners to buy the bottle of wine -- the wines by the glass are modest pours, especially for the prices charged.Special Features:
- chasse et pechecriticaleaterDined on 6/25/2014Excellent dinner,great menu with equally good service.Broad wine list heavily oriented to French wines but focused on 'food-friendly'. We ate early, 6pm,and had very leisurely dinner,room almost full and noise level very acceptable for normal conversation over meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superior!Dine2niteDined on 6/21/2014The food was absolutely amazing! Fine dining at its best. We had an amazing evening! We will be returning to the restaurant on our next trip to Montreal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – Police are revealing disturbing new information that could lead to more charges against the man accused of allegedly torturing and killing cats, Alex Phelps.
A former friend of the accused cat killer spoke out to WHAS11's Brooke Katz about her connection to Phelps, and her concerns. Samantha Caple contacted us after seeing stories about Phelps. She says she's known him since 2005 and even trusted him to take one of her pets.
Caple said she can't believe that her friend since 2005, Alex Phelps, is now accused of torturing, mutilating and killing several cats. A cat-lover herself, Caple said she couldn't take care of one of hers, an orange Tabby, so she says she gave it to Phelps; but she said she never saw the animal again.
Earlier this week Phelps was arrested in Louisville, charged with abusing and killing four cats; two of them were found behind a Kroger store in Southern Jefferson County and investigators say Phelps got them from a man giving away cats on Facebook.
Now Phelps is set to face even more charges; the remains of one cat were found in Bullitt County at the Knoll Avenue Baptist Church and investigators told us they found what they believe to be the bones of two more cats near the backyard of the home were Phelps' lives with his parents. It's a crime Caple says she'd never expect Phelps to commit and now says she wants justice.
The Bullitt County Sheriff's Office said that when they were investigating Phelps' home they did find blood in his vehicle, but that blood has not yet been tested. They plan on having the bones found near the Phelps' backyard tested next week and those results could lead to even more charges.

1.) During your youth, you had the unique opportunity to travel the globe. How has that experience shaped you, your brothers and Apolis Activism?
My brothers and I grew up in Santa Barbara, California. Our parents knew we would never appreciate where we lived if we weren't exposed to different cultures and languages. From an early age we followed our parents' heart for non-profit efforts across the globe. Through those shared experiences my brothers and I have come to realize that our passions, strengths, and weaknesses are surprisingly compatible, leading us to work together. Yet the path of business we are on today is highly unexpected as there is no family experience in garment making. In hindsight we could have chosen to sell boats together as long as we were engaged in a business that was integrating the product with a purpose. Our vehicle for business simply needed to be connected to a lesson that pages of passport stamps taught us that despite the different languages, food, and plug outlets, is the same desire to laugh, learn, and provide for your family. Before we knew it, my younger brother and I were following our older brother's lead into fashion to create a brand that joins the hands that make a product with the hands that wear the product. And we anchored this concept in the brand name Apolis, which means a global citizen. Representing our belief that humanity, not flags and borders, but humanity is the common thread that unites us.
2.) What drew you to Invisible Children for creating the Philanthropist briefcase? Why is their approach more suitable to the ethos of Apolis Activism than charity?
After making two visits to Uganda with Invisible Children we are convinced that they are on the forefront of sustainable development. Invisible Children's previous assistant country director, Adam Finck, put it well, "We have been able to break stereotypes in the non-profit world by listening to the real issues at hand." Their intelligent approach lead us to source a 17.5 ounce Ugandan canvas through their cotton initiative and create the Philanthropist Briefcase. This partnership has created an opportunity for Invisible Children's cotton initiative by becoming an example of progress for the development of Uganda's cotton manufacturing industry. This project is a great example of our desire to empower people through opportunity instead of charity in ways that go beyond business as usual. We pursue a sustainable model of creating opportunity through jobs instead of offering charity through donations in ways that empower people throughout the supply chain. This approach is the key foundation of any partnership we choose.
3.) Have you been able to witness first hand the social benefits for Uganda with the manufacturing of the Filson + Apolis Philanthropist Briefcase?
We are in the early stages of this project with the intention of creating substantial change. We are confident that the foundation we are laying will play a pivotal role in reigniting an industry that once thrived before the civil war in Uganda. Uganda is known for having some of the most fertile agriculture in Africa, and to be involved with this historical effort has been a privilege.
Our development partners are a direct extension of our brand. If they fail to provide credible channels through which people can be truly empowered, our brand suffers in the eyes of our consumer. So in order to ensure authentic and effective results, we need to be deeply involved with our partners every step of the way, allowing us to be equally responsible for any successes or failures. This dynamic has created a unique partnership with Invisible Children's Vice President of International Development, Ben Thomson. Ben has become an important voice on our advisory board and does a great job of summarizing our collective philosophy, "Philanthropy is at an exciting cross roads because people are beginning to understand that it can be more a part of our daily lives and not just an afterthought. Donating a percentage to the poor is great, but giving the poor access to opportunity is even better. Apolis is on the forefront of an era of new philanthropy by integrating sustainable development into their supply chain and bringing a whole new meaning to corporate social responsibility. The line between development and business is becoming blurry and consumers are beginning to see their role as they demand to know how, who and where their products are made."
4.) What has been the greatest success of Apolis Activism thus far?
That we can continue to love what we do on every front-- the partners, the people, the business, everything. I think that's rare in life, that you can work hard and do something meaningful and make a living at it and just love every single step along the way. But in business terms and in more traditional terms we have not really done anything yet. We want to see this concept be the norm, not the exception. And we think we can be a catalyst for that future. We are doing it in a certain niche within fashion. At some point, someone is going to step forward and do it in technology or the service sector or somewhere else. So I think our greatest success to date is enjoying a job that is gradually connecting developing economies to the marketplace with their product and story.

Tips for Coping with Panic Attacks
Even if you know what triggers your panic attacks, try not to avoid the situation completely. Often we fear the unknown and by running away, the trigger itself can become larger than life and all-consuming.
Try to remember that you are not expected to rid yourself of panic attacks overnight. While it's very easy for onlookers to simply say "Don't panic, just relax and it will pass," for the person suffering from panic attacks, it is extremely hard to imagine the attack being over. Taking small steps (that you feel you can cope with) and very gradually increasing the demands on yourself can help facilitate a smooth transition back to a panic-free life.
If you are experiencing stress, whether in your relationships or at work, try and work on ways to improve or change the stressful circumstances – stress is a major precipitant of Panic Attacks. Take steps to change the things that can be changed and learn stress management techniques.
Make sure that you eat regular wholesome meals, have sufficient sleep and also exercise regularly – all important in the management of Panic Attacks.
Avoid stimulants such as caffeine and CNS depressants, especially alcohol.
While Having a Panic Attack:
- Try not to let your mind get the better of you by running away with negative thoughts of death, disaster or fainting. Try to focus on the thought that the "this too shall pass." Try saying this out loud – remember if you can talk, it means you are still breathing!
- Slow down your breathing by closing your eyes, taking SLOW deep breaths and blowing each breath out through pursed lips. By keeping your hand on your stomach you will become more aware of your breathing.
- Don't concentrate too hard on the symptoms as this will only increase your anxiety. Try to simply 'let go' of the need to stop the attack and rather try to ride it out – getting yourself 'through' the worst of it until it passes.
- Keep in mind there is no actual danger in having a panic attack. Reassure yourself that the fear of harm is only sustaining the attack and allowing it to last longer than necessary!

Murto: Childress has short memory
By Craig Murto
It seems that NASCAR car owner Richard Childress is suffering some memory loss in his senior years.
That's really the only way to explain his reaction to the finish of the Camping World Truck race last weekend at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in Ontario, Canada, historically known as Mosport.
Childress' grandson Ty Dillon and Bill Elliott's son Chase battled side by side on the final lap for the win. Ty was having fuel pick-up problems and doing his best to hold position, nearly getting himself run over a couple times on that final circuit.
He would have finished better -- and had a better points day -- if he'd simply let Chase go. Instead they came to the final corner and Elliott shoved the nose of his truck into an opening on the inside; Dillon slammed the door shut and got spun off the track. Elliott regained control of his truck and went on for his first victory.
Emotions run high at racetracks, especially after exciting, controversial finishes. But isn't it rich that Richard Childress was furious over the finish, making statements such as "what comes around goes around."
Actually, that's true; what comes around goes around, no matter how long it takes. How many people have Ty put in the wall this season alone? (I'm sure Johnny Sauter has an answer for that one). And better yet, how many people did Dale Earnhardt wreck on the final lap of a race to grab the win?
And Earnhardt did it in the No. 3, owned by Richard Childress Racing. With Richmond coming up this Saturday, it's easy to remember the carnage Earnhardt caused that eventually led to Kyle Petty's first win. Terry Labonte surely remembers at least two times Earnhardt tried to "rattle his cage" at Bristol.
That's all well and good; it's all part of the legend. It's all part of NASCAR lore. And to this day NASCAR doesn't penalize anybody for incidents that take place on the last lap; after all, a little controversy is good for ticket sales.
And through all those years with Earnhardt, more recently with Harvick and now with his grandsons, Childress chalks up other teams' wrecked cars to "just racing."
"What goes around, comes around," said Childress, according to an Associated Press story. "That's all I can say. Ty handled it a lot better than I would. Anybody could see that he never turned the wheel and just drove straight into him. He said it in his interview, 'It's the last lap, you've got to do what you've got to do.' That's not the way you end up making friends."
But for years Childress lived by the sentiment that racing was all about winning races, not making friends. That's the justification he used for all the cars torn up in his drivers' wakes over the past years. But somehow now he doesn't remember. I guess it's easy to forget when the driver on the receiving end is his grandson.
There's a lot not to forget about the first NASCAR Truck race in Canada; Max Papis certainly won't forget.
Elliott and Dillon weren't the only drivers to get together on the last lap; no fewer than seven trucks limped to the pits with damage. Two of those trucks belonged to Mike Skeen and Max Papis.
It's not uncommon for drivers to have words after the race. We've even seen Papis slap a few drivers' helmets a time or two, even some cheap shots. But after the race at Mosport, Skeen's girlfriend walked up to Papis and slapped him across the face, hard. And it was caught on video.
A couple hours later, Papis claimed his ears were still ringing and the slap dislocated his jaw.
I have to admit, at the local short track level it's not uncommon for the most disorderly people to be spouses and relatives of drivers. I've seen racers' wives fighting in the stands a time or two. But I've never seen a girlfriend offer up a slap to the face of a professional racer after a professional racing event.
Some would say Papis deserves to get slapped now and then, not just for the slaps he's doled out to other competitors, but for the driving style that resulted in his nickname 'Mad Max.' But no driver deserves to be assaulted by a bystander. Hopefully the woman will never be seen around a racetrack again.
It was even worse than the time Richard Childress put Kyle Busch in a headlock for wrecking Joey Coulter. I wonder if Childress remembers that.

A People's Space Movement
A people's space movement
Let us put forth an aggressive agenda to dramatically increase the number of everyday people going into space so that we can at last take on the challenge of becoming a true spacefaring world.
In 1969 we sent men to the moon with ancient technology. Today we have vastly more advanced computers and vastly more advanced composite materials, vastly more advanced rockets. Access to space does not need to be so damned expensive. It has been so only due to the short-sighted greed of the aerospace industry. Yes, space has its dangers, but so too has air travel. Yes, people have died in spaceflight but, so too have people died on every highway in the country. Have we stopped the automobile? No we have not. We continued on and that we must do in space. We should continue onward and upward... to the moon... to the edge of the solar system... to the nearest stars.
We should open our eyes and hearts and minds and take our time and resources to forge boldly toward the high frontier. Let us create a space industry investment pool to pay the bills, let us tell congress to support expanding space initiatives or we will vote them out, let us create a High Frontier University to teach the youngest and the brightest that there are great dreams worth living and dying for... but we will not die. If we have vision and if we have courage, we will flourish. If we do not move more of us on the fantastic adventure of life in space we will follow the path of the dinosaurs. We will fade and slowly wither away. But that is not what humanity was meant to do. We were meant not to just look but to go beyond the next mountain, to climb ever higher, to bequeath to our children and theirs a destiny beyond measure.
Let us not bemoan the negative; any expert can tell you why it will not work. All impossible things were impossible until someone found a way. The universe is our playground... We belong to the universe and the universe belongs to us. Your ideas are welcome as is your support.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jul 8 2013: Food for thought... sometimes we settle for doing things a certain way because that was the way we always did them before. Time to get out of the box. How can we get into space at a low cost? Should we try to invent a new way and do all that research or... should we find lower cost ways to do it the old way? The old V-2 Rocket fueled by alcohol and liquid oxygen could almost reach orbit with a one ton payload. What would it take to do that today? Want a new idea? I do have a few... Actually I have a bunch. Some are crazy (but they just might work.) and some are... well I think I'll hold off on them until I see more interest in this conversation... feels kinda one-sided.

Taj Weekes – PARIAH IN TRANSIT in review
by Michael Kuelker
From the Caribbean island of St. Lucia comes a package marked "reggae music 501(c)3." It looks deceptively like a compact disc but it's really a set of boxes one inside the other inside the other, each opening up to a facet of reggae culture.
Pariah in Transit is the new live album by singer/guitarist/bandleader Taj Weekes, who is directing the proceeds from the project to a registered humanitarian organization, They Often Cry Outreach, which he founded in 2007. TOCO promotes health and sports among disadvantaged youth among its many projects in a wide range of community building efforts.
Weekes, by the way, will be returning to St. Louis on June 15 for a concert at 2720.
I've listened closely to the artist's three studio albums and to his band on three occasions (@La Onda and 2720). As a songwriter he is, I think, among reggae's finest, a penetrating poet who is averse to easy rhyme, platitude and simple didacticism. And his band – remarkably cohesive, tight like a sunburned forehead.
Still, I am not automatically turned on by live albums. Even when it's artists who are really good live, Marley, the Clash or Howlin' Wolf, whomever, my go-to selections wind up being an artist's studio recordings (and usually early or mid-career). Live albums are souvenirs, documents of a time, faithful to a sound (usually), wonderful to behold (sometimes), but in my collection only occasionally at the 'igher ights. This disc by Weekes definitely skews to the high end of the live album spectrum.
Concise and compelling intro to the artist, Pariah in Transit is crisply recorded sans overdub, a lesson in band dynamics and tasteful restraint, the music coming like good reggae should, light like a feather and heavy as lead.
Adowa are Weekes (lead vocals, guitar), Xavier Adoni (guitar), Burt "Radss" Desiree (bass), John Hewitt (keyboards) and Cornel Marshall (drums). Backing vocals on the album vary between Valerie Kelley, Angela Weekes, Paulette Kerr and J'anaee Wilkerson. The recordings were made in Columbia, MO; Chicago, IL; St. Lucia and BC Canada. It is a classy package and all for a good cause.
We expect live albums to extend the studio versions of an artist's songs and we get them here – though not in excess and, best of all, not because Weekes & company run things long by crowd-stoking call-and-response or instrumental noodling. This is an album of songs, very good ones woven tightly and wordically wise. Everyone plays well; I have to send out special thanks to Adoni for staying the reggae course and not harshing my mellow by soloing rock and roll style.
Weekes is a Rasta musician very much of the 21st century whose songs are firmly within the roots tradition but stay free of emulating any particular influence. Lyrically, he is his own man; for instance, in "Life" Weekes repeats the line "Bow abide in strength relieve me," nestling in little koan, "arches sorely grieve me" and "archers everywhere." You need a little time with this music.
Weekes explained to me in an interview last summer that he sees the function of the artist in society as that of a town crier On "Rain Rain" he refers to Hurricane Katrina without citing it by name. He's even tackled genocide in Sudan with "Janjaweed," though it is not on the live album, a subject virtually everybody in reggae took a pass on. A lot of the cuts on Pariah in Transit are Rasta in orientation and rendered in a universal tongue, such as "Seek the spaces in my thought / to unlearn what I've been taught" ("Angry Language"), which is really a description of realizing an alternative consciousness, familiar to Rastas realizing their inborn conception or anyone re-orienting their lives.
At other moments the artist gets Rasta-specific, such as the passage in "Scream Out Mellow" in which he proclaims "King Selassie is God Almighty." That's the central tenet. In the coda of "Jordan," which is previously unreleased, he iterates and reiterates, "the laws against marijuana and the force against marijuana / has done more harm than marijuana has ever done to anyone." In this we have a secular message regarding a Rasta sacrament and an idea on which respondents in American polls are split 50/50.
Pariah in Transit will have a long shelf life, though I highly recommend that you take it off the shelf and get it in regular rotation in home and automobile. For those counting nickels or keeping score, six of the album's ten tracks come from 2008's Deidem, with two from Hope and Doubt (2005) and one from his most recent album, A Waterlogged Soul Kitchen (2010). The song selection is faultless, although I'd have also welcomed the inclusion of "Against the Machine," a non-album track he contributed to the Occupy movement (Occupy This Album) which is well worth seeking out.

Breaking up is not the best solution
when there's a simple problem that
can be fixed. A lot of couples break
up for a lame excuse. it takes
compromise and communication to
fix it.
Remember: a solution for headache
is not cutting your head off. If you
really love a person, you wouldn't
give up easily.
Nobody said life was easy, you have
to be patient.
Understand one another and be
committed. All relationships
encounter problems. it just all
depends if you are strong enough to
get through them.
#repost #break up #relationship #partners #love #communication #pain #heartaches
She's completely lost, she no longer knows what to do with her life. She's confused and near to giving up..
And then he came and changed her. He caught her heart the very first time he laid his eyes on hers and became her inspiration to move on and find her way back.
Everything's just going…
There was something with the way he looked at her. She knew it. But she ignored it. She thought it was just like how he also looked with everybody. He talked to her like they were the only people in that room. She talked to him like it's their last conversation. He made her feel like he's gonna be…
You told me you're gonna be there when I need someone to talk to.
You told me you're gonna be there to help me.
You told me to believe in myself as much as you believe in me.
You told me I should trust myself.
I'm trying my very best to do all of these….
BUT. Why now? I do need you. I need someone to talk to.
I need someone to complain my worries. Why can't you be here to listen to me?
All I need from you is just a second and a hug.
How Lucky Are You?
How can those parents let their children stroll along the streets at this hour? In any minute, they might be injured or worst, they'll die because of raging wheels.
After shopping at Centro, we grabbed our floats at McDo and sat at the pavements across Lucky 99 (if I'm not mistaken =)) Then suddenly a group of street children approached us and started saying "Ate, akin nalang yan." At first we refused (anobehhh, katutusok lang namin ng straw, sayang! haha :D) A minute passed and they started nagging us again. Without a word, I gave mine to the boy who asked it, Cath also gave hers but Ate Bianca refused, not because she doesn't want but because she was pissed on how those children grabbed her cup and forced her to let go. Then after they finished the drink, they rudely spilled the ice and threw the cup almost infront of us. Natawa at napailing nalang kami sa inasal nung mga bata. Yung tipong sila na lang yung nanghihingi, sisigawan at pipilitin ka pa. I mean, nakakaawa talaga yung kalagayan nila but there is no room for us to pity them with that kind of attitude they showed. Naisip tuloy namin, nasaan kaya ang mga magulang nila at bakit sila pinababayaan ng ganun. They don't look like beggars eh, madudungis lang talaga.Then yun, after they got what they want, nagsitakbuhan na naman, not minding the fast wheels and they even have the guts na maglambitin. We don't know if they're just playing or they really don't mind being hit at all! Tsk!
Only one thought striked me : SOBRANG SWERTE KO :)
(Source: kushandwizdom)
oh how i miss being here.it's been a while.dami ko ikukwento pero next time na lang.hihi.
okay. 0% chance of raining.sana di talaga umulan today.were going hiking and swimming in the river.bon firing and everything.haha. #goodday #goodmorning #haveaniceday #godbless

Downton: a subversive fantasyJanuary 09,2014In real life, Americans may keen about income inequality. But on TV, theyre keen for it.
Downton Abbey continued its upward ascent with viewers Sunday night, a gushing embrace of class snobbery that hasnt been seen since friends clustered across the country in 1981 wearing black tie and clutching teddy bears and champagne glasses to watch Brideshead Revisited.
Ive resisted the Downton Abbey fervor. My grandmother and her nine sisters were tall, strapping women who immigrated to America from Ireland in the second decade of the 20th century and found jobs as maids, cooks and nannies for rich families with names like Gore and Mellon. So heaven forfend that I would enjoy watching Lord Grantham erupt in horror when his youngest daughter wants to marry the cute Irish chauffeur.
At the start of the fourth season, Maggie Smiths caustic Dowager Countess still cant stomach calling the Irishman by his first name, even now that the widowed Tom Branson is the estate manager and father of her great-granddaughter (dubbed a wicked crossbreed by the nanny.) As my great-aunts worked tirelessly to grasp shards of the American dream, they were not gliding about mansions playing confidantes to malleable employers, much less co-conspirators in moving the bodies of dead lovers.
It was a much tougher life than the democratized fantasy shown in Downton Abbey. Sure, Julian Fellowes servants have to iron the newspapers, choose cuff links and scan for scratches in the silver candelabra, but basically the upstairs-downstairs hierarchies work in contented concert, mingling like family warmly and sometimes spitefully.
Just as there is a yawning gulf between Gone With the Wind and the harrowing 12 Years a Slave, there is a yawning gulf between the Panglossian PBS soap opera of manners and the dehumanizing life most servants led.
In Castle Rackrent, an 1800 work that was a pioneer of the historical novel, Maria Edgeworth skewered her own British landlord class for viciousness to the Irish peasantry. Speaking of the grand lady of the house, Edgeworth wrote: She was a strict observer, for self and servants, of Lent, and all fast-days, but not holidays. One of the maids having fainted three times the last day of Lent, to keep soul and body together, we put a morsel of roast beef in her mouth, which came from Sir Murtaghs dinner, who never fasted, not he; but somehow or other it unfortunately reached my ladys ears, and the priest of the parish had a complaint made of it the next day, and the poor girl was forced, as soon as she could walk, to do penance for it, before she could get any peace or absolution, in the house or out of it.
Niall ODowd, the founder of The Irish Voice, IrishCentral.com and Irish America magazine, asserted: For this generation of Americans, the Downton Abbey Yes, mLady servants are the equivalent to the old minstrel shows on the Bowery. It reflects the colonial cringe, casting an ameliorating light over a period that was full of pretty desperate stuff for people trapped in a rigid, notorious caste system.
Americans cast off the British monarchy, but they go nuts for Kate Middletons procreation story. (Rich woman has baby, ODowd notes dryly.) And they savor watching a Downton aristocrat dress down a servant for noting inelegantly, Dinner is on the table.
We believe in upward mobility. Yet some of the new American moguls are taking on the worst traits of the old British class system: Silicon Valleys up-and-coming tech titans who complain about having to look at the tatty homeless spoiling their San Francisco utopia. The Dickensian conservatives who dont give a fig about a social safety net ensuring that poor people have food on the table.
As Jim Cramer of CNBCs Mad Money asked MSNBCs Alex Wagner, Wasnt this settled in 1848-1850 with the Irish potato famine? Im not kidding. Lord John Russell believed what the Republicans did, which is, you know, let them eat potatoes even if theyre rotten. The issue of laissez-faire, Cramer said, was decided many years ago by Queen Victorias insolence toward the Irish.
I relented on Downton when I read Alessandra Stanleys review in The New York Times last week pointing out that the allure isnt Anglophilia or a vestigial yearning for a monarch but the fact that its a show about class differences that panders to contemporary notions of democracy and equality.
Watching the saga from the beginning this week, I saw the extent of the subversive fantasy: The servants rule the masters. The bad ones manipulate the lords and ladies into doing their bidding. And the good ones instruct and nag their superiors into making the right moves in their royal lives, both personally and professionally. In Sundays season premiere, Lady Mary frostily informed Carson the butler that he had overstepped the mark in urging her to move past her grief over her husbands death and get more involved in running the estate. But she soon humbly apologized for having the cheek to criticize Carsons cheek. The marble beauty in long black gloves melted into sobs in his arms and then bucked up to rejoin the world.
The butler did it.

The Runaway Guys are a collaborative group of Let's Players on YouTube, comprising ProtonJon, NintendoCapriSun, and Chuggaaconroy. Chugga is in charge of maintaining the channel, although Jon has made posts and comments for the channel as well. For the first two years, updates usually only occurred every Saturday, but this was changed to Saturday, Tuesday, and Thursday following an announcement on February 8th, 2013. Videos for Mario Party games (starting with the third) and Fortune Street are also posted daily (each board beginning on Saturday and continuing every day until its end).Their first Let's Play premiered on February 5, 2011. The three of them were the only ones participating, but many of their later videos have featured additional players.Along with their official long-running LPs, they have done one-shot filler LPs (labeled "The Runaway Gaiden"), tournaments featuring multitudes of guest players, and side collab projects that they gradually update and use as filler between regular projects.On occasion at Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), the Runaway Guys have their own panel, called Thrown Controllers, essentially a game show inspired by Nick Arcade. In its debut at PAX East 2012, two teams took turns answering questions and playing video game challenges, either against each other, solo, or against members of the audience. At PAX Prime 2012, they retooled the game (mostly due to the previous iteration being plagued by technical problems and a sluggish pace) into a single-person quiz show with challenges, similar to the initial concept except for one person at a time, and this is how it has been done since. Many prizes are awarded at these panels, ranging from character pins from Fangamer to (as a grand prize) an actual video game console, such as a Nintendo 3DS or a Wii U.They have a Shout-Out page here, a Character Sheet here, a Ho Yay page here, an Epic Fail page here, and a Drinking Game here.

The testicles (also called testes or gonads) are the male sex glands. They are located behind the penis in a pouch of skin called the scrotum. The testicles produce and store sperm, and they are also the body's main source of male hormones (testosterone). These hormones control the development of the reproductive organs and other male characteristics, such as body and facial hair, low voice, and wide shoulders.

Intel Is Set to Carry on its Impressive Profitability
Dr. Osman is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) is the biggest chip maker in the world. The company designs, and produces communications and computing components, like chipsets, microprocessors, wireless and wired connectivity products, and motherboards. Intel is a stock, which offers an attractive dividend yield at a reasonable price. Its EPS growth, dividend yield, growth prospects, lower PEG and strong asset base make Intel an effective dividend choice.
Intel has an impressive dividend yield of 3.90%; this represents a strong return as not many companies show such attractive yields. Additionally, the firm has shown a remarkable growth in EPS at the rate of 37.5%. Intel has a strong asset base and an extremely attractive PEG ratio of 0.92. In this article, I analyze the debt, profitability and cash flows using different metrics. All the data for analysis is taken from the company's annual reports.
Over the past three years, Intel has demonstrated impressive profitability. The operating profit margin has almost doubled during the past three years. Intel's operating profit margin went up to 35.73% in 2010. However, in the following year, operating profit margin decreased a little and came down to 32.37%. Intel has been able to achieve impressive profitability due to a fall in overall cost. The firm has been able to reduce its costs while increasing its revenues significantly. As a result, the operating and net profit margin showed substantial improvement over the past three years. However, during the current year, the firm has faced declining revenues due to the slowing PC market and the company decreased its third quarter outlook in September.
Further, Intel's cash flow situation is in ideal condition as almost all of the metrics show encouraging signs. Cash flows from operations as a percentage of sales have increased by almost 7% during the past three years.
At the end of 2009, cash flows from operations to sales ratio stood at 31.80%, which went up to 38.82% by the end of 2011. However, free cash flows as a percentage of cash flows from operations have declined due to increased capital expenditures. As a result, capital expenditures coverage ratio has also recorded a declining trend, but the ratio still remains in a solid position. Capital expenditures are an integral component for Intel and over the past three years; it has more than doubled. The capital expenditures will carry on with its trend through at least 2013. Let's take a look at the capital expenditures of the company over the past three years and next two years.
Capital Expenditures:
In the technology sector, things change rapidly and make it imperative for companies like Intel to spend significantly and keep up with the needs of the market. As the PCs market declines, Intel needs to come up with the chips, which can capture the tablets and smart phone markets. During the past three years, Intel mainly invested with a view to achieve cost efficiency while manufacturing more efficient chips. In 2009, Intel manufactured 32nm chips and spent almost $16 billion over the next two years to manufacture 22nm chips. Intel's move to 22nm chips cost it $5 billion in new investment costs. In addition, a hefty amount was spent on research and development. Intel is currently working on developing 14nm chips, and the capital expenditures will remain around $12.1 billion for the company during 2012.
As a result of these capital expenditures, overall cost for Intel will come down significantly during 2012 and 2013. Intel is likely to spend further $13 billion in capital expenditures in 2013. At present, the company plans to develop 10nm, 7nm and 5nm chips by 2015. Intel has a competitive advantage over its competitors through its unique product manufacturing, process leadership and technology leadership. I believe the capital expenditures will help the company raid the tablet and smart phone markets through smaller and efficient chips.
Another avenue of expansion for Intel could be as a foundry services business. However, the current CAPEX is solely for internal use of the company, although, the company admitted that it can be a strategic foundry partner for select customers. However, if Intel were to expand into foundry services, it would require higher spending.

The key competitors for Intel Corporation are Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NYSE: AMD), Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) and ARM Holdings (NASDAQ: ARMH). From the table above, it is obvious that Intel is trading at a discount compared to its competitors based on multiples. Although, ARM offers attractive margins, the stock is trading at a considerable premium. I think ARM has great business prospects, but the future growth is already more than fairly reflected in the stock price.
AMD is having a tough time these days. A few years ago AMD was a remarkable champion against Intel's dominance in the microchip field. However, even though the company offered lower prices, it just could not compete with Intel's technology. I still think AMD should stay in the business, but I have my own doubts for AMD's future.
Qualcomm is not a direct competitor of Intel. But some of its products compete for Intel's customers. I think Qualcomm is a great buy on dips, but currently the stock is trading near 52-week highs. Therefore, I would recommend waiting for a better entry point below $50.
Intel is the leader in its industry and demonstrates extremely impressive profitability metrics. It is evident from the analysis that the firm has improved its operations over the past three years. At the moment, the firm is in a stronger position as compared to three years ago. In addition, the increase in the operating cash flows indicates the company is converting most of its sales into cash flows. I believe Intel is in a strong financial position, and the firm is well set to carry on its impressive profitability.
Know What You Own
When it comes to dominating markets, it doesn't get much better than Intel's position in the PC microprocessor arena. However, that market is maturing, and Intel finds itself in a precarious situation longer term if it doesn't find new avenues for growth.

The geology and landscape of Derbyshire is dominated by Carboniferous rocks that form the central terrain of the Peak District.
These occupy a large, broad structural dome with the Carboniferous Limestone of the White Peak at its heart, so that younger rocks progressively outcrop to both the east and west and to a lesser degree north and south.
The core of the area comprises the massive Carboniferous Limestone, and which gives rise to the limestone plateau of the White Peak. This area demonstrates landforms typical of the weathering and solution of limestone such as sinkholes and steep-sided valleys. The Carboniferous Limestone gives way to the coarse sandstones and shales of the Millstone Grit, which form the upland area of the Dark Peak and the scarp and valley scenery along the eastern edge of the Peak.
The more industrialised and settled landscape of the eastern side of the County is located on the Upper Carboniferous Coal Measures. Although covered by much younger Quaternary glacial deposits, the underlying Carboniferous coals, clays and ironstones have been heavily exploited to form the basis of the once thriving coal industry. The Coal Measures are overlain by the marine limestones of the Permian Magnesian Limestone in the north-east of the County. There is another small outcrop of the Millstone Grit and the Coal Measures in the Swandlincote area which forms part of the Leicestershire-South Derbyshire Coalfield.
South Derbyshire is dominated by red sandstones and mudstones of Triassic age, which give rise to the lower, undulating ground to the south of the White Peak. The soft mudstones floor the Trent Valley, although there are no natural exposures. Large amounts of sand, gravel and till (or boulder clay) occur in the Trent Valley and the Erewash Valley and were deposited by Ice Sheets and meltwaters over the past 500,000 years.
The oldest part of the Carboniferous (354-290 million years old) succession comprises the Carboniferous Limestone, which forms the solid geology of the so-called White Peak area and effectively comprises a broad area of outcrop between Castleton in the north and Matlock in the south. The Carboniferous Limestone was deposited in a sub-tropical sea. Two distinct environments during the Lower Carboniferous led to the formation of differing types of sediment being accumulated, which is reflected in the Carboniferous Limestone rock succession.
The main limestone type of the White Peak is a shallow 'shelf' limestone which comprises pale grey and thickly bedded limestones which give rise to the elevated plateau south of Castleton. In the south-west of the outcrop area, around the Manifold Valley, outcrops of the deeper 'basin' limestone occur, which is darker grey in colour and occurs in thinner, strongly folded beds. Around the margins of the shelf, reefs developed, forming a reef limestone. This type of limestone which is rich in fossils, particularly brachiopods is largely devoid of bedding, the hard fine-grained 'reef limestone' resists weathering and produces conical hills, known as 'reef knolls', for example at Thorpe Cloud and Wetton Hill.
During the Lower Carboniferous volcanic activity on the sea-floor produced lava flows or later intrusions into the rock sequence. This lava cooled to form layers of basalt, which are apparent by dark colour amongst the lighter limestones where they area exposed. These igneous rocks are known locally as 'toadstone'.
Towards the end of the Carboniferous, a period of uplift began, which saw the formation of thick deposits of more continental rocks. Around the fringes of the Carboniferous Limestone shelf, the change is marked by the incoming of marine shales, with thin limestones and sandstones (the Pendleside Series) which contain distinctive fossil brachiopods, corals and trilobites. These rocks give way to the more massive sandstones and shales of the Upper Carboniferous Millstone Grit Series (approximately 300 million years old). These outcrop all around the Carboniferous Limestone outcrop and form the distinctive upland 'gritstone' moors of the Dark Peak to the north and east and the higher undulating ground north-east of Derby. The hard "grit" sandstones of the Millstone Grit often form a series of harder edges or escarpments such as Stanage Edge and Froggat Edge along the eastern fringe of the Peak District. The Millstone Grit was deposited in a coastal environment where large river deltas were building out into the shallow marine waters.
Continuing deposition over the millennia led to the further building out of the deltas and the formation of an extensive low-lying, swampy land area in which the succeeding Coal Measures were deposited. The periodic flooding and building of the deltas along the coastline resulted in the deposition of a series of layers of coals (representing the compressed remains of the luxuriant swamp vegetation) interspersed with layers of shale, clay, sandstone and mudstone. These Upper Carboniferous Coal Measures outcrop in two areas in the County. In the east, they form the southern end of the Yorkshire-East Midlands Coalfield, outcropping in a broad band from south of Sheffield to Ilkeston in the south. South of Derby, the Coal Measures outcrop again in the Swandlincote area where they form the northern, exposed part of the Leicestershire and South Derbyshire Coalfield.
The succeeding Permian (290-248 million years ago) Period is represented in Derbyshire by the Magnesian Limestone, which is so named because the rock contains the magnesium rich mineral 'dolomite'. This limestone was deposited in a relatively shallow landlocked sea extending from northeast England to Poland, known as the Zechstein Sea. The estimated average temperature during the period was approximately 23°C. In Derbyshire, the main Magnesian Limestone outcrop occurs from Alfreton, via Bolsover, to the north-east margin of the County, forming a relatively distinct ridge along its length of outcrop.
Rocks of Triassic (248-205 million years old) age occupy the southern end of the County, from a line between Ashbourne and Derby southwards, although exposure is limited due to a thick covering of Quaternary till (or boulder clay). During the Triassic, dry arid, desert-like conditions predominated and were responsible for oxidation of iron compounds within the rocks, leading to the characteristic red colouration of the deposits are now represented by the red sandstones, breccias and mudstones that occur in South Derbyshire.
Earth movements at the end of the Carboniferous had resulted in uplift of the land and the formation of mountainous areas in the Midlands and other parts of Britain. Erosion of these over millions of years produced the thick sequences of sediments over the plains and basins adjacent to the mountains. East of Ashbourne, overlying the Millstone Grit, the Triassic sequence is represented by the Sherwood Sandstone Group which comprises red sandstones with horizons of pebbles deposited by desert flash floods. To the south the Triassic succession of the overlying Mercia Mudstone Group, which comprises red and green mudstones, sandstones and thin horizons of gypsum and rock salt, probably represents wind-blown dust that settled in shallow salt-lakes and sun-baked mudflats on the extensive flood plain. The arid conditions under which these rocks were deposited are indicated by the occurrence of numerous layers of salt, which formed through the evaporation of mineral-rich water under the intense desert sun.
The Carboniferous Limestone outcrop in north-west Derbyshire between Longnor and Wirksworth contains hollows, filled with silica sand, clay and pebble bands, known as 'pocket deposits'. These deposits contain fossil plants indicating that they are of Late Tertiary (Miocene (approximately 20 million years old)) age and represent the remnants of continental, river deposits that once covered the area, but which have subsequently been removed through erosion.
Over the last two million years the climate of Britain has varied tremendously with periods of temperate climate interrupted by repeated advances and retreats of glaciers and ice sheets. Collectively these periods have become known as the Ice Age (we are still in one of the temperate phases) and the actions of the ice sheets have been instrumental in forming the landscape we see today.
Various deposits of Quaternary age occur throughout Derbyshire. Till (or boulder clay), which formed in and beneath glaciers and ice-sheets occurs in the main valleys of the Trent and the Erewash and in some locations on the limestone plateau (e.g. east of Bakewell) and the Peak District generally. During the glacial phases, it is likely that local glaciers developed over the Peak, although ice only probably covered the area during the Anglian and Wolstonian glacials, approximately 450,000 and 300,000 years ago. Ice did not reach Derbyshire during the last glaciation, the Devensian, but the area would have been subject to an arctic, tundra-like climate. During this period, the natural caves in the Carboniferous Limestone would have provided shelter for animals including bears and hyenas.
The erosive action of earlier glaciers would have deepened the river valleys and rounded the rocky summits of the Dark Peak. Seasonal meltwaters and meltwater following glaciation would have would have assisted in carving out the limestone caverns of the White Peak and deep gorges such as Winnats Pass near Castleton. Deposits from one of the temperate periods (the Ipswichian, approximately 120,000 years old) have been recorded at Boulton Moor. Here organic material, channelled into gravels has yielded fossil mammals including hippopotamus.
During the final phase of the Devensian glacial, cold icy winds deposited large amounts of fine silt, or loess, across the limestone plateau of the White Peak. This forms a rich, stoneless loam, up to 1m thick, which in places supports pasture in more upland areas (e.g. around Chelmorton, south-east of Buxton).
The following localities represent, in part, the geology of this county. Each locality has a grid reference, a brief description of how to get there and a short summary of the geology you are likely to find. All the localities listed are openly accessible.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Tuesday officially released Iranian-born Swedish fighter Reza Madadi.
Madadi on Friday was sentenced to a year-and-a-half in jail following his conviction for aggravated burglary. He was part of a group convicted of breaking into and stealing merchandise from a high-end handbag store in Stockholm.
More MMA
UFC president Dana White wasn't privy to the details of Madadi's conviction at the time, but over the weekend indicated that if he had indeed been convicted, Madadi would no longer be fighting for the promotion.
And that's exactly what happened.
"Following his conviction by a court of law in Sweden, the UFC organization has elected to terminate its relationship with Reza Madadi based on its Fighter Code of Conduct and the provision of its promotional agreement concerning fighter conduct," read a statement released by UFC officials on Tuesday.
In addition to jail time, Madadi and his cohorts are also required to pay damages. Madadi has until Sept. 6, 2013, to appeal, but remains in jail.
The 35-year-old fighter has amassed a 13-3 professional record, including going 2-1 in the UFC. His latest fight was a victory over Michael Johnson at UFC on Fuel TV 9 on April 6 in Sweden.

That's too bad, 13-3 isn't even a bad record.
Couldn't expect anything different.
Wow lmfao, you should have stole the bags after your career was over dude.
Now I'm starting to believe all the whining and biitching about salary pay, haha
Another Muslim surname committing crimes in Sweden. We're lucky it wasn't rape.
If UFC paid more then maybe he wouldn't have stolen someone else's stuff. Hint to Dana. There is always a cause and effect.

"Anthropology is the science which tells us that people are the same the world over- except when they are different." –Nancy Banks Smith
Parks are shaped by people. Anthropologists examine the connections between parks and what people believe, the stories they tell, and how they live on the land. This mozaic is the foundation of the American cultural legacy. Kind of gets back to that 'E Pluribus Unum' thing, right?
Anthropologists focus on groups of people linked to parks by religion, legend, deep historical attachment, subsistence use, and other cultural aspects and give them a voice in how parks are planned and managed. Anthropologists also develop ways of sharing the connection between people and land to park visitors and communities.

Articles and Video:
The development of Egyptian Alternative Dispute Resolution needs to be based on two things: Legal Reform and Institutional Change. As the largest Arab country in the Middle East-North Africa (MENA) region, Egypt will play a significant role in the future as an advocate of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The incorporation of ADR is inevitable as Egyptian officials want to promote commercial ADR to entice Western corporations to invest in the region.
The Prevalence of Alternative Dispute Resolution Programs by US Small Businesses (06/07/13)
This article will summarize the results of a survey I sent out to see how widespread alternative dispute resolution programs are among a sample of small businesses in the United States. A questionnaire was sent to over 400 companies found on the Small Business Administration online database. Nearly 90% of HR officials responded. I found that the use of ADR is rare, and among small businesses more "traditional" methods of resolving conflict in the workplace are still prevalent (such as termination or formal grievance procedures). However, alternatives such as mediation or ombudspersons are gaining popularity.
