Ghetto pension law extended
On 5 June the German Bundestag unanimously passed legislation approving back payments of social security pensions for people – including many Holocaust survivors – who worked in ghettos under Nazi-German control during the Second World War.
All Holocaust survivors who currently receive a Ghetto pension will now have the option of having the pension re-assessed with a new "start date" of 1 July, 1997, regardless of when the original application was first made. This will result in an additional lump-sum payment to any survivor whose current pension start date is later than July 1997. Until the passage of this amendment, most pensioners have only been able to receive payments dating back four years prior to the approval of their claims.
In 1997 survivors of the Lodz ghetto were granted pensions in recognition of the "work" they performed there. Under the 2002 German ghetto pension law (known by the acronym ZRBG), entitlement to a pension was widened to people who had performed work in any ghetto under Nazi control.
However, applicants to the ZRBG were frustrated by overly strict interpretation of the criteria by local German authorities resulting in the denial of 61,000 out of 70,000 claims. It is estimated that some 40,000 survivors worldwide, with an average age of 85, will now be entitled to an additional lump sum award. The respective pension authorities that pay the pensions will contact pensioners direct to inform them of the decision and to advise how much in back pay they will receive.
The additional lump sum is separate to any payment received from the Ghetto Fund, which provides a one-time payment of €2,000. Originally, payments under the Fund were to be deducted from the pension but this rule has now been abolished; there is no filing deadline for the Ghetto Fund.
The new law also provides for any future applicant for a Ghetto pension to have a "start date" back to July 1997. These pension reassessments will also apply to widow/ers who receive the ghetto pension is respect of their late spouse.
It should be noted though that the complication of this revision to the law is that depending on the recipient's age, a pension backdated to 1997 might result in lower monthly amounts, the difference of which must be deducted from the original lump-sum they received when the pension was made. Therefore, it may be advantageous for some people to decline the earlier start date. Each survivor will be given the option.
With this Bundestag vote granting back payments to 1997, entitled persons can now opt either for (i) a back payment retroactive to 1997, combined with potentially smaller future monthly payments (current pensions have a supplement for each year in which no pension was drawn from age 65 upwards), or (ii) the continued payment of the present higher monthly amount, but without back payment.
Starting in July, letters from the German Social Security authorities will be sent to each of the 40,000 pensions in local residence language affected by this change.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KnewNothing Only swaddle blanket you'll need We registered for this swaddle blanket without knowing anything about swaddling or babies. We also got (and registered for) several other kinds (the Aden and Anais). Our son managed to get our of every swaddle except this one. The blanket is very big so it accommodates all sizes of babies. The best thing is that it is sort of flannel and so once the baby is swaddled, it stays closed (almost like velcro but without velcro). We used this one exclusively for 2 months when I finally decided to buy a second one so I didn't have to coordinate laundry with when the baby wasn't sleeping so I could wash it. March 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by JKNY BEST swaddle blanket This is the BEST swaddle blanket ever. So much better than the "official" swaddle blankets with velcro. I don't find them to work at all. The material on this is perfect for a snug hold. My newborn son wouldn't sleep at night until I started using this. He now sleeps perfectly every night and I am going to buy more of these.

Folks curious about draw weight and hunting. This 2009 firecat with the Cat 2's is way better than my old (12 year old) compound, so I was curious if I could safely reduce the draw weight (currently at 60# on a scale) to about 50# and still be confident on whitetail kills (assuming decent shot placement) using Eastman 400gr carbon arrows with Rage 2 100gr broadheads, out to about 30 yards. I would like to draw from seated position and also to save my aging joints
Sorry if it is a redundant quesiton but my search returned too many hits to troll through

I have been trying out which floor would work best with my dogs. I was set on cork and then I learned if it gets peed on it gets ruined and then I read that bamboo gets all scratched up. I really want something hardwood and eco friendly. Any ideas?
What about keeping stray cats - dozens of them - away from my garden?! It's a nightmare.

After finishing in seventh place in the World Cup in Mooloolaba (AUS) two weeks ago, Riederer turned in a top performance in the first race of the World Championship Series in Sydney, Australia. He came in third behind the reigning World Champion Javier Gomez and shooting star Jonathan Brownlee.
After putting in a good performance in the swim leg, Riederer comfortably kept up with the leading group, which gradually swelled in numbers over the bike split. There were countless spills on the wet roads over the 40-kilometer road stretch, which Riederer was fortunately able to avoid. Riederer was consequently able to go into the final 10-kilometer run with the leading group. In the course of the run a leading pack took shape, comprising Riederer, the Brownlee brothers (GB), Don (GB), Hauss (FRA) and the reigning World Champion Gomez (ESP), who put in an amazing effort to work his way back up to the leaders after coming off his bike. Once he had caught them up, Gomez proved to be the strongest runner and gave his fellow contenders no chance in the final phase. In the drawn-out finish Riederer had to cede to the Briton Brownlee, but could be more than satisfied with his performance in a world-class field.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Information and Resources
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Pregnancy. An MRI test usually is not done during pregnancy. But MRI may be done to get more information about a possible problem that cannot be seen clearly with ultrasound.
- Medical devices that use electronics, such as a pacemaker or medicine infusion pump. The MRI magnet may cause problems with these devices, and that may keep you from having an MRI.
- Medical devices that have metal in them. The metal might make some of the detailed MRI pictures blurry. This may prevent your doctor from seeing the organ that is being looked at. For example, an intrauterine device (IUD) with metal may prevent your doctor from seeing the uterus clearly.
- Inability to remain still during the test.
- Obesity. A person who is very overweight may not fit into standard MRI machines.
Many modern medical devices that do not use electronics—such as heart valves, stents, or clips—can be safely placed in most MRI machines. But some newer MRI machines have stronger magnets. The safety of MRI scans with these stronger MRI magnets in people with medical devices is not known.
What To Think About
- Sometimes your MRI test results may be different from the results of CT, ultrasound, or X-ray tests, because the MRI scan shows tissue differently.
- MRI is a safe test for looking at structures and organs inside the body. It costs more than other methods and may not be available in your area.
- Open MRI machines are now made so that the magnet does not completely surround you. But these machines may not be available in all medical centers. Open MRI is useful for people who are claustrophobic or obese.
- Magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) is a special MRI method that studies blood vessels and blood flow. To learn more, see the topic Magnetic Resonance Angiogram (MRA).
- MRI spectroscopy is a special MRI method that identifies certain medical problems by looking for specific chemicals in body tissues.
- Contrast material that contains gadolinium may cause a serious skin problem (called nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy) in people with kidney failure. Before having an MRI scan, tell your doctor if you have serious kidney disease or if you have had a kidney transplant.
MRI can be used to check different parts of the body, such as the head, belly, breast, spine, shoulder, and knee.
- MRI of the Head
- MRI of the Abdomen
- MRI of the Breast

- MRI of the Shoulder

Senior Games Coordinator Phyllis Loflin-Kluttz still on the job after 20 years
The thought of retirement has crossed the mind of Phyllis Loflin-Kluttz a time or two, but the love for her job outweighs the feeling every time. Loflin-Kluttz is the coordinator for the Salisbury/Rowan Senior Games and SilverArts programs, a job she's held for nearly 20 years.
In 1993, a 39-year-old Loflin-Kluttz took on the job as a part-time coordinator managing 20 participants. Under Loflin-Kluttz's direction, the program has grown to include 300 athletes and artists.
Salisbury/Rowan Senior Games is a year-round health and wellness program for adults 55 years old and older and is offered through the Rowan County Parks and Recreation Department. SilverArts provides a creative avenue for artists. The Senior Games and SilverArts are nonprofit programs.
Her participants in the programs are what have motivated the Rowan native to wake up every morning and return to work.
"The participants enthusiasm and excitement," she said of her job, "they are so appreciative that I give them this much fun stuff to do."
Athletes compete in such activities as track and field events, bocce, table tennis, archery, billiards, swimming, cycling, shuffleboard, cornhole and bowling.
"What else would I be doing," she said with a raspy laugh.
Loflin-Kluttz has a specific morning routine that includes going to her garage, getting inside her car and saying a prayer.
"I talk to God. Whatever it will be that day, I turn it over to him," she said.
Her husband, George, walked into the garage during one of her conversations with God and inquired as to what she was doing. Loflin-Kluttz simply said she was praying and talking to God.
"That's my quiet time," she said.
Loflin-Kluttz is in the midst of the Salisbury/Rowan Senior Games, which began April 1 and will conclude May 1. The athletes are now competing to see who participates in the National Senior Games. Loflin-Kluttz was recently at Ellis Park, clipboard in hand, judging archery candidates. She's been eligible for the last three or four years, but had not participated herself until a few years ago. She competed in bocce on Monday.
She said she's inspired by everyone of her athletes and artists.
"The things that they do," Loflin-Kluttz said.
One look around Loflin-Kluttz's office shows how proud she is of her participants — their pictures, T-shirts and trophies are scattered throughout the office.
She's a Doll
George said he remembers when his wife first began managing the program in the early 1990s when the word senior wasn't even on her mind. He's seen her love of the athletes and artists she works with grow throughout the years.
"The first thing that really comes to mind is the love and passion she has for the program in general. It quickly became about the people," George said.
She fell in love with the spirit of the athletes and artists to put themselves out there to play or create something one more time.
When Loflin-Kluttz gets tired and thinks about hanging up her clipboard, George said he reminds his wife she gives the athletes and artists a place to showcase their skills and talents.
Dr. Jim Epperson is a commission chair of the Rowan County Parks and Recreation Department and also part of the basketball team for a number of years. It was Loflin-Kluttz who instituted team sports into the Rowan County program.
"It's so nice to see what she's done with participation. She's extremely supportive of all the athletes. She knows how to get people involved," Epperson said of Loflin-Kluttz.
Loflin-Kluttz has also garnered the respect of not only the local athletes who participate in her programs but other athletes and program directors and coordinators alike, he said.
"No single county in the state has more participation than Rowan County and it's because of Phyllis," Epperson said.
"Phyllis is just very good at what she does," said friend and supervisor Renita Ritchie. Ritchie is the therapeutic recreation supervisor, of which Loflin-Kluttz is a part of the department.
The county provides Loflin-Kluttz with a $3,000 budget and she raises $15,000, which supports her programs. Ritchie applauded all of the work Loflin-kluttz puts into the programs.
"A big part is she has respect for everybody. She's so good with people," Ritchie said.
Loflin-Kluttz spends countless hours, days and months fundraising, planning sporting events, assisting athletes and artists. She also relies heavily on students from Livingstone College and Catawba College and volunteers to assist her with the program. Charles Underwood is one of those volunteers, but is also a participant and former classmate.
Underwood attended North Rowan High School with Loflin-Kluttz and said he remembers her as an outgoing, athletic student.
"She's a real easygoing lady. There's so much that she can do," Underwood said.
He said she'll regularly remind the athletes "it's only a game."
Underwood often stops by Loflin-Kluttz's office at Ellis Park to say hello. Underwood said he makes sure Loflin-Kluttz knows anything that needs to be done, he'll do it.
"My time is my wife's time and Phyllis' time," Underwood joked.
He said his former classmate is someone who goes above and beyond for her job.
"She's a true friend. You couldn't ask for a better lady. She's a doll," Underwood said.
Before Bocce
On the advice of her brother and sister-in-law, Loflin-Kluttz became a flight attendant with Continental Airlines. She recalled her first interview with the company. The airline flew her to Houston, Texas.
"I had never seen a city that large and that many beautiful women," she said.
She stayed at the Marriott and underwent a number of interviews. Loflin-Kluttz was one among thousands of applicants, but was hired. She worked as a stewardess for seven years.
"Those experiences gave me the ability to chase arrows out of bushes," she said.
When she left the airline industry, Loflin-Kluttz became a tour director with a travel agency. She would book and fly with groups on trips out of the state and country. Loflin-Kluttz then became a corporate agent, booking trips for business travelers.
She then began teaching others about the travel industry and coordinating Senior Games and SilverArts part time.
When she first became coordinator she watched others to see how they ran their programs.
"I had no idea how to run a sporting event at all. I taught myself by watching others," she said.
Now her program has become an example of a growing, thriving program. Loflin-Kluttz would often speak about Senior Games or SilverArts to seniors at lunch club sites and didn't have much luck in getting new recruits. She developed a trivia competition at the lunch club sites and many of the seniors couldn't wait to participate in other parts of the programs.
"They were finding out it really is fun," she said.

Vitra Eames RAR Rocking Chair, White
Product information
The iconic Eames RAR armchair is now made from a moulded, recyclable polypropylene shell that's designed for every body shape. The shell is placed on a four-legged braced wire base with two wooden rockers, finished with clear varnish. The result is timeless style with a relaxing, smooth movement.
Every colour in our selection complements each other, so you can mix and match to suit your decor. The polypropylene shell is dyed through, so the colour will never fade.
Highly influential and endlessly imitated, husband and wife team Charles and Ray Eames revolutionised 20th Century furniture design. They combined their respective disciplines in architecture and modern art with low-cost yet durable materials to create perfectly balanced, functional furniture.
The Eames' works have proved to be real 'designs for life': they're iconic art pieces and objects of desire, yet utterly practical.
Originally made in fibreglass for the 1950 MOMA Low Cost Furniture design competition, the DSR was the first industrially-produced plastic chair.

All roadtrips begin with a spark – one more inane Youtube comment, one more person that cut you off in traffic, another reality TV star banking millions. Boom. To the ends of the globe we go. Using a need for escape as fuel, any trip seems like a good idea; such as taking a couple mid '90s Honda XRs from northern Nevada through Mexico.
At least that's the idea that got a crew of motoheads from disparate parts of the powersports industry thinking. 5 friends, 5 mid-90′s XR's, some camping equipment, and an end goal at the Panama Canal. A roadtrip to end all roadtrips, and a project that ICON 1000 is proud to be involved with.
Luckily, for those that can't get away yet, all 24 days of the trip will be documented in a variety of places. Follow the trip on Instagram under the hashtag #CR2013, the official website of the trip http://cr-2013.com/home, and this very blog.
So far, it's been a wild ride, and they are not even halfway in.
See you on the road.

As I don't hunt these days I don't particularly have use for camo, but the Vista is one of the better factory camos around. But then I do like the ASAT or Predator Fall Grey that some guys have gotten from aftermarket finishers. Check the one DoubleS has.

I like the Vista camos. They tend to be a bit more "open" than alot of other patterns, and blend in better with differing terrains. Like Barry though, I really like the ASAT and Predator camos. Just wish I had done my bow in grey instead of brown.

Bacon tastes good, but not good enough that I'd kill an animal for it. I like The Kitchn, but it's disappointing to see you promoting foods that hurt animals, people, and the environment. Consider this a downvote.
I'm easily as pleased with all of the meaty recipes as Wikivh is disappointed, keep 'em comin'!
Wikivn - We support all people in their choice to eat what they want, but our goal is to help you become a better cook at home and enlighten you to ways to do that (meat eater or no).
Wikivn, why no disappointment over the recent lamb shank and meatloaf recipes? This website isn't exclusively vegetarian or vegan, though they do have lots of great vegan and vegetarian postings.
On another note, as much as I love bacon, I'm a little bacon-ed out at the moment, maybe it was the post (from another blog) that had chocolate bacon donuts. Which feels wrong (culinarily) on a level that I can't quite define...
Atn654 - I made those doughnuts... maybe I was on a kick :) Don't knock 'em until you try 'em!
SarahRae, not knocking them. I'm sure they're plenty delicious even though a very very tiny part of me feels that it's almost a crime against a good donut ;)
Love it all! I probably won't get around to making them all, but bacon makes me happy! Hoppin' John and Spaghetti Carbonara are 2 more much loved recipes that just aren't the same without it!
I made these Bacon and Avocado Sandwiches the other day and they were really delicious (I couldn't find radish sprouts, so used alfalfa): http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Bacon-and-Avocado-Sandwiches-109315
I use bacon/pancetta to dress up a lot of otherwise-vegetarian meals. But my current favorite use is for dessert - bacon brittle!
I just got 4lbs of Benton's Bacon from TN. Might have to try some of these!

Got a problem here so who to ask, but "the guys". Anybody have OT2 or similar?
I have a 10 year old student I've been coaching and just spent several hours setting up her bow. She's been shooting it and doing well, but I'm trying to help her hit a magical 500 on a Vegas round. The bow is a Razor Edge, short little thing. Trying to sync the cams was a real booger. Came down to the cams hittin stops, one 1/8" ahead of the other. 1/2 twist on a cable made it go 1/8" off the other way. Finally got it down to putting 1/2 twist in a yoke. I hate these short bows. Finicky little things.
Anyway, A2A is right at 30", brace height is 7" even, draw weight is 29.36# (maxed), and AMO draw length is 21.5". I'm assuming the cams are the soft variety. She's shooting GT UL-600 arrows, 22" long, 4" feathers, 80gr target tips, and pin nocks. What spine arrow should I be looking for and what would not hit her parents' wallet too hard? Also, consider that I will probably keep the new arrows about 24" long to allow for growth and eventually going up to 35# over the course of the summer. Oh, I'd like to use inserts and screw in points (65gr Saunders combo).
I know these are way too stiff as I shoot the same shaft at 27" and 45# and they're a touch too stiff for my Nemisis. I'm thinking somewhere around a 1000 spine for her. Anybody give me a hand here?

President Barack Obama said it recently in Chicago, a city on track for 600 murders this year, the equivalent of two Sandy Hooks per month. Too bad he still does not understand that his left-wing ideology is the problem.
After the Sandy Hook tragedy, Obama, much of his party and much of the media have been calling for further gun control and advocating "common sense" measures such as limiting the number of rounds in a magazine, "universal" background checks and restrictions on "assault weapons."
But there is an 800-pound politically incorrect elephant in the room.

Are you looking at franchise opportunities? Do you have a small chunk of un-developed land or already have a small family fun center operation, perhaps mini golf or batting cages? Why not add the most popular attractions, go carts and bumperboats? The bottom line is, go-kart tracks and bumper boat ponds are generally the top attractions at small operations such as family fun centers and amusement parks.
The gocarts and bumperboats at J&J Amusements are the toughest in the world. We utilize dependable Honda GX engines in our gas powered go karts and Honda BF2 engines in our bumperboats. We didn't stop there though, at J&J we have pioneered the use of electric power in both the go-kart and bumper boat industry. Our bumper boats have utilized 24 volt electric motors since 1995 and our go-karts use a 48 volt system since 1999. These many years of development have J&J leading the industry again. J&J won't stop development either. We are always looking to make a better product to meet the demands of the concession gokart and concession bumperboat industry.
Are you considering a fleet of gokarts or bumper boats for indoor or outdoor use? J&J has the products to fill your need. review this website and give our sales team a call at 1-800-854-3140 or 1-503-304-8899.

Fantastic idea! I'd suggest using a throw-away brush to apply the topcoat though, or a topcoat specifically for this project. It would suck to have powder on a manicure where I didn't want it!

Wineka column: Lowder's Golden Age of Hollywood comes to life in the pages of early scrapbooks
CHINA GROVE — As a kid growing up in Kannapolis, Myrtle Lowder could purchase a nickel Coke and a nickel hot dog at Kay's Luncheonette on Main Street.
With the money she had left from her quarter allowance, Myrtle bought movie magazines at Woolworth's. The magazines were publications such as Modern Screen, Photoplay, Movie Guide and Movie Mirror.
The actors populating those pages had names such as Clark Gable, Van Johnson, Dick Powell, Lana Turner, Tyrone Power, Bette Davis, Jimmy Stewart, Spencer Tracy, Joseph Cotton, Greer Garson, Barbara Stanwyck and Elizabeth Taylor.
As an 8-year-old in 1936, Lowder took her magazines home, spread them out on the kitchen table or on the living room floor and cut out the biggest, most glamorous photographs of the stars.
She glued them into scrapbooks, adding more pictures with her new magazines each month.
"I made the paste myself sometimes — out of flour," Lowder says.
The thing is, Myrtle didn't really stop her version of movie star-scrapbooking until she was married.
She filled book after book, and they moved with her through life. Marriage. Two daughters. A granddaughter. And jobs in mills, department stores and restaurants.
"And if I moved again they would go with me, I guess," says Myrtle, now 84.
When she periodically digs out the scrapbooks from a bedroom and spreads them onto a coffee table, it's as though Lowder is a school girl again.
She's dreaming of Hollywood, falling in love with many of the handsome men on the pages or envying their fairy-tale lives.
"You remember Errol Flynn," she says pausing at a photograph of the actor. "He was the bad boy. I read once he had 88 private lines into his house."
Lowder pages through several of the scrapbooks — she has at least 30 huge volumes — looking for a particular picture of Betty Grable, the World War II pin-up girl whose legs were insured for $1 million.
"There she is!" Lowder says, stopping at Grable, showcased in several dancing poses labeled "Blonde Rhythm."
Lowder still recognizes every face of every star. It's fun to hear her capsule summaries of each one.
Randolph Scott: "That's another love."
Susan Hayward: "I thought she was really pretty."
Ray Milland: "He never was one of my favorites."
Lon McCallister: "He was just good looking."
Rita Hayworth: "I always liked her pretty good. She made a lot of movies with Glenn Ford."
Dana Andrews: "He was a preacher's son."
Gary Cooper: "'High Noon.'"
Claudette Colbert: "I liked her, but she wasn't so beautiful."
Robert Walker: "He killed himself."
Alan Ladd: He's in there a lot. Remember 'Shane'?"
John Wayne: "I guess that's everybody's favorite."
Truth be known, Myrtle Lowder's favorite movie actor was Gene Autry, the singing cowboy. She fell in love with Westerns when she was going to the movies three times a week.
Saturdays were devoted to the genre, and Lowder remembers staying at the theater from noon until 7 p.m.
"We had to be home before dark," she recalls.
Her first movie as a 5-year-old was a Western starring Buck Jones. She remembers seeing cowboy Fred Kirby in movies at the YMCA. Sunset Carson and Roy Rogers were the only cowboy stars she ever met in person on their visits to Kannapolis.
Because she loved the movies, especially Westerns and musicals, keeping the scrapbooks became her pastime.
"You have to realize," Myrtle says, "when I was 8 years old, there wasn't much to do. We didn't even have a radio."
As a seventh-grader, Myrtle and her classmates were assigned to put together scrapbooks about North Carolina. When the project was finished, many of the other students gave their scrapbooks to Myrtle, knowing she could use them for her movie-star pictures.
In the ninth grade, she cut out a picture of a young William Holden, framed it and told another girl Holden was her boyfriend. The friend believed it for awhile.
Lowder saw movies in her younger years at theaters such as the Gem, Swanee, Palace, Colonial and Dixie. Ticket prices then were 10 and 15 cents. Popcorn was a nickel.
Myrtle says she still has a program from 1939, during the week "Gone With the Wind" was supposed to play at the Colonial, but the movie house burned down.
Not all of Lowder's photographs came from movie magazines. She bought Gene Autry comic books, so she could cut out the pictures of Autry on the covers.
The Sunday News edition of the newspaper usually had movie stars on the front of its weekly magazines, too.
"Just like I told you, I lived and ate movie stars," she says.
Lowder thinks part of her movie star obsession goes back to being a country girl and daydreaming of a different life.
"I did good to get out of the country, but the country will never get out of me," she says.
Paging through another scrapbook, she stops at a photograph of Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour and announces they "must be on the road to somewhere" — a reference to the trio's many comedies together with the "Road to ..." theme.
Myrtle says the last Photoplay she purchased was about 1977, the year Elvis Presley died. She's a big Presley fan and one of her prized pieces of furniture is an Elvis lamp that plays "Hound Dog."
On television, Lowder prefers watching old movies and old episodes of shows such as "Rawhide." She also likes football and baseball games and considers herself a fan of gospel and country music.
Lowder has never flown in an airplane, nor traveled to Hollywood. But she knows where to find it — in her scrapbooks.
And in her family.
"I've got two pretty daughters and a pretty granddaughter," she says. "They're all movie stars to me."

George Hincapie, the BMC Racing Team and the rest of the peloton couldn't close the gap to Ben King, who attacked in the opening kilometers and soloed to win the USA Cycling professional road race championship Sunday. Hincapie, the defending champion, finished fifth.
Leading The Chase
After King and two others built a nearly 19-minute lead early in the 185-kilometer race, the BMC Racing Team got down to business. "We were the first team to start working," Brent Bookwalter said. "We rode into the base of the climb the first time and had Chad (Beyer) and Chris (Butler) set the tone to see how much time we could bring back right away and then re-evaluate at the top. We took a minute or two out of the break the first time up. But when we got the top, no team had any interest in working with us. That was kind of the story of the race."
Hincapie's Attack
Hincapie, who trains frequently on the climb of Paris Mountain, attacked about a kilometer from the top on the fourth and final ascent. Only Kiel Reijnen (Jelly Belly) and Levi Leipheimer (Team Radio Shack) could stay with him. "We had 40 seconds right away and took out a bunch of time on King," Hincapie said. "But Levi said he couldn't work because King was up the road. Kiel and I went full gas but the group behind really wanted to catch us. They caught us and at that point it was over. The BMC Racing Team could't do all the work. Unfortunately, not all the work was being shared equally."

With Sunday looking like a fantastic day my hiking partner Jay and I decided we wanted to head north to try and get in a fall hike with winter conditions. We both agreed we didn't want to go too far into the Whites but still wanted a challenge.
Cardigan is a mountain I've heard a lot about but never visited. Jay had been up Cardigan one other time. After doing a little research online we decided to give the Holt trail a try. The more I dug into the Holt trail the less info I was able to find. Very few trip reports, very few pictures and of what pictures I could find none were snow covered.
The day started at our usual pickup spot and before we knew it we were at the Cardigan Lodge by 9:30. Knowing the temps would be cold and the wind brisk we carried our usual arsenal of winter gear and we would need it.
The first mile of trail was pleasant and relatively flat. A great warm up if there ever was one. We crossed the bridge admiring the nearly frozen water flowing over the rocks. Soon we reached the Grand Junction and the split to the right where the Holt trail continues. We knew the challenge was on as all the footprints went left and no prints went right.
Pretty shortly after the start the trail crosses a brook. In order to cross we had to don our first level of traction. For me it was my trusty MicroSpikes, for Jay Stabilicers. The river had frozen into a huge bulging ice flow. As the trail went on and steepened we found that what ice there was, was fairly thick and hard. The MicroSpikes and Stabilicers while good just didn't have the bite for any hard ice so on went the crampons.
The trail now heads up. Very up. The rocks and slabs all seemed to have a mix of bare rock, snow covered rock, black ice, black ice with snow on top, or just deep snow. It was very tricky and very unpredictable what you were going to find when you stepped. Crampons on steep bare rock are nearly as bad as bare boots on icy rock. The going was slow but we were being careful and we managed to pick our way to a point just below the summit where the trail became much less evident. There we did a number of left and right traverses trying to pick a line but appeared to be stymied by a very exposed vertical slab that had very long drops off them should one slip. We felt we were too far to the right of the trail. We decided our best option was to descend a bit, move further left and try again. Thankfully the trail was on the leeward side of the mountain as the sound of the wind above was just a steady roar. This move left proved to be our savior as we were able to find a line that enabled us to continue upward and with one final move up a wide crack we popped out just below the summit. At that point we put on our down parkas, heavy mitts, and goggles, took off the crampons and headed for the fire tower.
Once there we got our bearings. Took a few wind speed readings. (49mph). Admired the incredible 360 degree views, Then headed off towards FireScrew. We quickly crossed over the top of FireScrew and found a spot away from the wind to have a bite to eat. From there it was down the Manning trail. We were hoping to leave off the crampons but the ice on the slabs going down FireScrew was frequent enough that we just felt safer with them on. Soon enough we were down and to the car.
I had read that the Holt trail is one of the most difficult trails around and after being on it I have to say I agree. Now for me, I just can't wait to get back there in the Summer.

Leadership gift to establish the William and Electra Stamelos Gallery in honor of distinguished artist and her husband
May 20, 2008
DEARBORN / May 20, 2008---Painter Electra Stamelos was a tremendous influence on the hundreds of students who studied with her at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. And her paintings, found in collections around the region and across the country, have affected many thousands more.
Now her influence will continue to have an impact thanks to a leadership gift by her husband, William, to establish a gallery devoted to works by Michigan artists at UM-Dearborn.
Stamelos, who died in 2007, was well-known for her watercolors, acrylics and pastels featuring natural imagery and exhibited in numerous galleries and shows. For many years, she was a lecturer in fine and applied arts at UM-Dearborn and director of art exhibitions and collections for the campus.
I like my work to reflect or express the exuberance and challenges of life, as I feel or see them, she wrote. I choose the positive, hopeful and beautiful aspects. My art is a heightened absorption of formal criteria such as light, color and form--an intensification of nature and my reaction to it.
William Stamelos has pledged $1.3 million in cash and a bequest to UM-Dearborn to create the William and Electra Stamelos Gallery on the campus. The gallery is planned as part of an art museum and performance space in the former Recreation and Organizations Center. The total renovation project estimated to cost approximately $5 million.
William Stamelos is a retired Ford Motor Co. engineer; he lives in the home the couple shared in Livonia.
The Stamelos gift will serve as a leadership challenge to inspire other donors to support a two-year effort to raise the money necessary to initiate and complete the renovation, according to Tom Baird, vice chancellor for institutional advancement at UM-Dearborn.
Electra Stamelos studied art at Detroits Wayne State University and Eastern Michigan University. She also studied at Detroits Society of Arts and Crafts, which is now the College for Creative Studies. In addition, she received scholarships to the National Art School and the Corcoran Museum School in Washington.
Her works are included in numerous corporate and museum collections and have been published in books and art magazines. She also was active in numerous professional associations and served as president of the Watercolor USA Honor Society and the Michigan Watercolor Society.
Electra Stamelos had a lot of best friends, according to Joseph Marks, curator of collections and exhibitions at UM-Dearborn. Marks and Stamelos studied painting together at Wayne, and remained friends for more than 40 years, often exhibiting their works in the same shows and galleries. She could talk on many subjects, but it always came back to art; that was her passion.
Marks also became friends with William Stamelos. She was very fortunate to have had such a loving and supportive spouse for over 50 years, Marks said. Bill helped Electra with her career as a professional artist in many ways, by photographing her work, getting her works framed, and transporting her works to and from many exhibitions. He was definitely a positive force in her life and career.
Some of Electra Stamelos works are shown in her virtual gallery at http://electrastamelos.com/.

An art museum of international stature
The Iziko South African National Art Gallery in Cape Town houses colonial to contemporary art.
The South African National Art Gallery, part of the Iziko Museums in Cape Town, features colonial to contemporary art.
The South African National Art Gallery houses collections of local as well as pan-African, British, French, Dutch and Flemish art. It has an authoritative collection of beadwork and excellent catalogues of apartheid art.
The South African National Art Gallery, part of Cape Town's Iziko Museums, features impressive collections ranging from colonial to contemporary art.
A permanent collection, which is rotated regularly and features a variety of paintings, photography, sculpture, beadwork, textiles and works on paper, is this South African art's gallery's most impressive feature.
The main body of the colonial collection consists of Dutch, French and British works from the 17th to the 19th century, including lithographs, etchings and paintings. The permanent collection is often supplemented by visiting exhibitions from abroad.
The contemporary collection included the establishment of extensive catalogues of 1980s apartheid art, which included the repatriation of artifacts removed from South Africa over the last 200 years. Since 1990 it has acquired work focusing on the different cultures of the African continent, and already has a respected collection of beadwork and indigenous sculpture. The Bead Society of Southern Africa was launched at the gallery in 1999.

Georgian Royal Amethyst Cross Pendant
Pendants from the early 1800s were usually of cruciform design. Equally at home as a fashion statement and as a sign of devotion, the configuration of the cross was as varied as the materials used to craft and adorn it.
Hand made two-part hinged construction characterizes this typical silver and rose gold back pendant in the form of a Latin cross. The body of the pendant is set closed back with magnificent deep royal purple amethysts in silver collets. It is suspended from a hinged surmount or bale consisting of a square set amethyst within a flow of beautiful silver C-shapes forms in an elaborate scrollwork pattern. Accenting the very vividly colored gemstones with a sparkle all their own are five (5) tiny rose cut diamonds.
Date: Early 19th century.
Measurements: 3-1/8 inches (8 cm) in length by 1-3/8 inches (3.1 cm) in width. Weight of 16.7 grams (10.7 dwt).
Hallmarks: One illegible hallmark and one hallmark, "CF" which is partially legible.
Condition: Very good; replaced top pendant bale with its later hallmark; 3 tiny chips to diamonds. One amethyst corner chip only visible with a loupe. Cross slightly off axis due to its hand made nature.
