Not all towns on board with regional Chamber of Commerce
By Sally Voth - email@example.com
The Strasburg Chamber of Commerce is not planning to join the newly announced Shenandoah County Chamber of Commerce, its president said Tuesday.
That's in contrast to what Woodstock Chamber Executive Director Jenna French said last week. French, who said the transition to the countywide entity would be complete by next March, said the chambers in Strasburg and New Market would remain open while participating in the regional one. She said those in Edinburg and Mt. Jackson would likely be absorbed into the new chamber.
However, Strasburg Chamber President Rich Orndorff likened the move to a "Wall Street hostile takeover."
"To me and to our board, our feeling was this was to be a collaborative effort, this was to be joint," he said in a Tuesday afternoon interview. "It wasn't supposed to be a Wall Street hostile takeover."
Orndorff said his chamber did initiate discussions which led to an exploratory committee looking into a regional body.
"That's been discussed for probably about 15-20 years," he said.
The Strasburg Chamber feels the move by Woodstock is a little premature, according to Orndofff.
"We're not joining at this point at my board's direction simply for the fact that we don't have enough information," he said. "We have no idea of the financial structure. We have not seen a budget. The other concern we had was the board makeup."
Plus, there are questions regarding the status of the town's local chamber office and staff member, Orndorff said.
He referenced an email from French to Woodstock chamber members which says that during an April 9 meeting, each chamber was asked to come up with suggestions regarding a regional effort and a financial plan.
"The outcome of the meeting ended in a standstill: Each locality supported the creation of a countywide chamber, but there was simply no agreement on a financial framework to comprehensively integrate the localities; there was also a strong desire for each local chamber to stand alone in order to maintain its local identity," the email states.
Among the reasons the email gives for pursuing a county chamber are a quarter of the Woodstock Chamber's membership is drawn from outside of town, more members are needed to keep it financially strong, and doing so would bring more exposure to member businesses.
The email proposes some bylaw changes, such as having board members from all over the county, keeping French as executive director for the first two years and setting up local advisory councils.
"There's really no opposition to any of those ideas," Orndorff said. "It's just the fact that nothing was spelled out.
"We proposed that we start small because there was some question about whether or not we would maintain an office. Geographically, we have a very long county. We receive [a] generous financial contribution from the town of Strasburg.
"It appears to me like a Wall Street hostile takeover, and it appears like a collaborative effort has now become well, this is what we're going to do, get on the train, the train's pulling out. That concerns us. We're the Strasburg Chamber of Commerce, and we're going to remain the Strasburg Chamber of Commerce."
The New Market Chamber of Commerce hasn't decided what to do yet, according to board member Cathy Wittig-Donald.
"I think we were waiting to see what happened with that," she said on Tuesday. "We knew that it was going to come to a vote [in Woodstock]. We've been discussing it. There hasn't been a decision yet."

Thank You Strasburg Chamber, Rich Orndorff, and the Town Staff for sticking to your guns and not allowing the "County" to persuade our town!! We need to be a defined entity that works in collaboration with the County only not allowing the County to make all the decisions! They do not need the authority to define our town! Maybe the other towns like the way our town functions and wants to mirror us, great collaborate with them, invite them to meetings but each town has a different perspective, different commerce and different decisions that need to be made. Thank you for standing up to the "good ole boys" whose days in supervisory positions are long past their prime. We have seen the Town of Strasburg grow by leaps and bounds with its proximity to I81-66 iand it will continue to grow. We need to continue to employ staff for our town that has a vision for expansion and to allow commerce into it as well. Keep up the good work. I realize that criticism comes with the terriotory in any government position and you can't please everyone but stand your ground and our town will continue to prosper!
It would be great if the Strasburg Chamber did something for the business on King Street.
Hopefully, our Chamber will actually communicate with the other chamber to make Strasburg alive again. Our business in town depend on all the citizens in the county to buy in their businesses.
What is old is new again tour is the first step that the Chamber has taken in 12 years to help the merchants downtown. Hope it is a success!

Any GREEN falafel between South Beach and Boca Raton?
- janie Feb 7, 2011 06:21 AM
Looking for good falafel, must be green inside, and not made with fava beans (egyptian style) only made with chick peas (israeli style)----Taim in New York City is the benchmark..(my favorite falafel outside of Israel)--while I know it's pretty tough to find anything this good...I'll settle for decent, but it's got to be green....last time I visited tried the place on West Dixie Highway (the name escapes me at the moment, Itzak something--but it was uniformly lousy and not too clean and overpiced, and that's being kind)---the Moroccan Israeli influenced Pita spot used to be good, but I know it was sold a long time ago...and haven't been in quite awhile...is their falafel still good? Is it green or the dreaded yellow?
What about Crazee Olive..I read theirs is green..think they're Lebanese...usually the Lebanese make their falafel nice and green..but sometimes they put fava beans (deathly allergic)
Never went to Bisseleh cafe...it apears they are gone or sold? can't seem to get a straight answer from the net..--what is Mimosa Cafe in Hallandale? Cuban Mediterranean?
Used to go to Shalom Haifa off RR tracks in Ojus, but it's gone downhill...and their falafel is nothing special
Is there any good falafel at the Waterways Shoppes? That place is like Tel Aviv with all the Israeli's hanging out there on the weekends...
The place in Loehmann's is not good either--i think it's Pita Plus?
....any help would be appreciated to find FRESHLY made green herb infused falafel and better yet, if they make their own pita or laffa..thank you!!
re: jpr54_1
do you think it's the mimosa cafe? That's listed as being in a shopping center....

The falafel at Dimasi Sweets in Sunrise is green inside, but I don't know about the fava content. The owners are Lebanese and the falafel is served with minimal toppings in a lavash wrap.
It's very different from others that I've had, but I really enjoy it. I'd be interested to hear how it stacks up to the others mentioned.

re: ddoonie
no kidding? good for them! I wonder what it looks like. It's almost literally a hole in the wall in Fort Lauderdale. 3 tables & 3 walls... I wonder if they, like the Lauderdale location, also make beach deliveries....
re: SouthFloridaFoodNerd
THey do have delivery, and its a decent location - probably 5 or 6 tables. Hopefully business is good for them so they dont close down like all the restaurants before them..
re: ddoonie
I am definitely going to try them out soon. Thanks for the tip. BTW I think they are between 15th and 16th on washington.
re: tpigeon
1533 Washington Avenue. Got it off the take out menu :)
There is a lovely place in Coral Springs, Falafel Bistro & Wine Bar, at the Shoppes at Heron Lakes on Coral Ridge Drive. Had some wonderful Israeli falafel there a few weeks back. Nice atmosphere, also some outside seating. They serve lunch and dinner. www.falafel-bistro.com
Actually Michael's Genuine has it on their lunch menu. Pretty straightforward. Wouldn't say it's the best but it did suffice.
okay the best place we LOVE is Sunrise Pita and gril
2680 North University Drive
Sunrise, FL 33322
(954) 748-0090
it is a kosher Israel place. Counter service... very casual nothing fancy. but AMAZING! What is good about them is there falafel pita has a bunch of different toppings and sauces on it. but it is the best. they do keep different hours since it is kosher (closed Friday after sunset, saturday, open after sunset on sunday..)
Maoz Vegetarian in Boca Town Center Mall in the Food Court makes the most wonderful falafels. If you walk past slowly they normally offer you one to try as a taster. There is always a queue since they opened and you get to chose from different types of pita bread or a box and lovely fresh salads. They also make fresh juices.
Following up on Janette post above... no doubt skipped as soon as the words Mall Food Court appeared...
How does this look (photo)?
At the risk of getting banned from the board forever (I'm sure some would say long overdue)...
These were found at the (gasp) Food Court at Boca Raton Town Center Mall (horrors)...
A place called Maoz Vegetarian.
For what it's worth, it's a chain/franchise out of Amsterdam and now has stores in Greenwich Village, Union Square, Town Center Mall... and Miami Beach, 1657 Washington Ave.
And as per the Original Post request, no fava beans here:
"Our falafel is made out of chickpeas ground with fresh vegetables, herbs and a special blend of spices we call "The Maoz Magic Powder". This unique mixture is then shaped into little balls and quickly fried in zero trans-fat vegetable oil, poured fresh every day. With an uncompromising commitment to freshness, we make sure to prepare our falafel balls for every order. And by the way, our falafel is gluten-free!"
"Maoz Vegetarian is a fast service restaurant serving authentic falafel and freshly made vegetarian food. When it comes to falafel, we are world experts. For over 20 years, we have been continuously working on perfecting our product to offer the best tasting nutritious meals to our customers worldwide."
(Turn down speakers before going to idiotic stupid restaurant website with music blasting)
NY Times review
re: CFByrne
it sounds good-i will try it out
re: CFByrne
I ate at Maoz in Amsterdam this summer. It's better than Pashas.
re: CFByrne
I also like Maoz in the Mall, tastes closest to Israeli falafel that I have found so far especially if you just add the cabbage salad and tahina and just a little tomato and cucumber.

Well, I pretty much found the cutest jumping spider ever.
Regal Jumper - Phidippus regius | ©Patrick Zephyr (Florida, US)
Phidippus regius (Salticidae) is aptly named in terms of its size (Regal jumping spider), as it is the largest jumping spider in eastern North America (adult males average 12 mm in length). The species is found in the southeastern US, the Greater Antilles, and the Bahamas, but is most common in peninsular Florida.
One of the striking features of this species you can see in the photo is the iridescent color (green-blue-violet) of the paired chelicerae.
Jumping spiders can be recognized easily by their eye arrangement. The eyes are arranged in three rows: the 1st row contains four eyes, the two large median eyes and two smaller lateral eyes; the 2nd row contains two tiny eyes; and the 3rd row contains two small eyes (in the picture you can only see the first row of four eyes).
It's jumping spider season. Nearly all of the ones I see are light brown or gray, and tiny. But flashier spiders pop up occasionally. The second to last spider has a coppery color to its abdomen, and the last one is the fanciest kind I've seen around here.

This is Bean. She is a Regal Jumping Spider (Phidippus regius). I've had her since she was very wee. She amazes me every single day with her quirkiness and curiosity. I happen to think she's the cutest spider on the planet… but I'm a tad biased. I can't stop taking photos of her though… that face!!!

Sobriety Flopped? Beer and Civilization, Brewed Together
|January 2, 2014
|Posted by Staff under Social Change
Beer and civilization: cause and consequence?
This 2013 excerpt of Business Insider, Dec 26, is by Dina Spector.
What led early humans to begin cultivating grain some 10,000 years ago?
It was beer — not bread — a growing body of research shows.
People didn't just enjoy the altered state of awareness that came from drinking beer, it was also nutritionally superior to every food in their diet other than animal proteins.
Beer was safer to drink than water, because the fermentation process killed pathogenic microorganisms.
Ed. Notes: It's still true that alcohol plays a huge role in setting the course of society, from lobbying functions to grassroots community building. Which does not mean overdo it, sobriety clearly has its role, too. It just means that the individuals who throw one back together take steps forward together.

School Reviews
- November 11, 2013 - My sons have both attended West Sound Academy. This school brings to light the true value of learning. That education is the cornerstone in a person''s life. The philosophy of creating creative, independent life long learners is seen throughout the entire community. The students are challenged, stretched, and nutured all at the same time. I believe an education from West Sound Academy prepares my child for the future at a level I never imagined was possible when I became a parent. There are caring invested staff. There is a rich international culture. There is a community of students wanting to grow and learn every day. I cannot even beging to put a price on what this school has done for our family. - Posted by Parent
- November 07, 2013 - We feel extremely fortunate to have found West Sound Academy. Coming from a homeschool environment, the small class sizes and welcoming atmosphere allowed our children to quickly gain confidence and thrive in this challenging academic environment. The faculty and staff are top-notch and truly treat each child as part of their family. More impressive, are the students themselves. They are extremely conscientious, well-rounded, polite, articulate and support each other. I continue to be extremely impressed with West Sound Academy. - Posted by Parent
- October 21, 2013 - I am so thankful for West Sound Academy and what it offers my daughter academically socially, and emotionally. Small class sizes, dedicated faculty, community-oriented, IB program allows students to begin college as sophomores (saving parents money), focus on math and science as well as the arts, everything I was looking for in a school and more. I am so impressed with this school, it is worth the tuition (and also offers scholarships & financial aid) and compared to Seattle private schools, it''s a bargain for what each student receives. I''m so thankful to have this school in Kitsap County--it''s truly filling a need no other schools around are. All classes are AP, and any extra help students need is there as well as a truly supportive faculty and administration. An incredible school for parents who want the best for their kids and for kids who want to do well academically and get a little more advantage when it comes to college and his or her future. Kind smart kids doing good things in the community (and the world), truly makes me thankful for West Sound Academy. - Posted by Parent
- October 06, 2012 - An absolutely amazing school for 6-12 grade. Academics are a very strong focus as is kindness, community, and compassion. Faculty is incredible. They offer great financial aid (which has been fantastic for us as a middle class family) & WSA is the only IB program around Kitsap. Recommended for smart, motivated students who want to achieve great things in the world and attend college after graduating, and for parents who are disappointed with the local public schools and the "just get by" attitude. - Posted by Parent

The sound is unlike any other: a dry, scraping noise made by a skateboard's wheels as they roll across a concrete surface — part of the city's summer cacophony. I heard it just the other day, coming up fast behind me as I waited for the light to change at 21st Street and Park Avenue South. Turning quickly, I expected to see a teenager in baggy pants wheeling down the sidewalk, motioning for me to get out of the way. Instead, it was a fortysomething guy who looked like bald, portly Kevin from "The Office."
I shouldn't have been surprised. Older Gen Xers and even some baby boomers have been making their way around the city this way for a long time. You see them every day, weaving between pedestrians on the sidewalk or rolling up the bicycle lane on Avenue of the Americas. And they aren't just riding skateboards. Increasingly, the conveyance of choice for these aging commuters is the scooter — not the motorized kind, but a sleeker version of the type that Dennis the Menace rode when he wasn't terrorizing Mr. Wilson.
The problem is these older riders often don't seem to know what they're doing. "Kevin," for example, was wobbling in an unsteady and alarming fashion as he made his way toward me. I have no idea what happened to him after he rolled through the intersection. I only hope there wasn't a slow-moving walking tour farther down the avenue. They wouldn't have been able to scatter quickly enough, and Kevin clearly lacked the skill to maneuver his way around a large obstacle. Read more…

text: Lotus: Our target on pace alone is to race and beat Mercedes 2 November, 2013 Romain Grosjean Kimi Räikkönen ended the day fifth with team-mate Romain Grosjean seventh in a tightly contested qualifying session for tomorrow's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Hot, dry, still conditions prevailed during the final practice session, with cooling temperatures the feature of the qualifying session as the sun set over the Yas Marina Circuit. A straightforward Q1 session saw both drivers set a banker lap on Medium tyres, before emerging for a single stint on soft rubber to sail through in third [Kimi] and seventh [Romain]. Q2 by contrast, was a closely fought affair; the Finn and Frenchman progressing in ninth and eighth respectively, separated by less than three hundredths of a second after two runs apiece on Softs. The top ten shootout of Q3 again saw both black and gold cars make two appearances on Soft tyres, with their opening runs good enough for a pair of top six placings. As the chequered flag dropped under the Yas Marina floodlights, Kimi found himself fifth with Romain seventh. Kimi Räikkönen, E21-05: Q: P5, 1:40.542 FP3: P9, 1:42.387 "Today wasn't too bad overall. In the early sessions both yesterday and today I struggled a bit to get the car working [exactly] how I wanted [it to], but in the evening when the temperature is cooler it's been much more to my liking. This is good as the race will be in the evening so we'd prefer it that way around for sure. The short wheelbase car seems to suit my style a bit better too, so hopefully we can continue this way for tomorrow. Of course, you always want to be as far up the grid as you can and we clearly weren't the fastest today, but you never know what might happen on Sunday so we'll see what we can do." Romain Grosjean, E21-04: Q: P7, 1:40.997 FP3: P5, 1:41.832 "That was one of the trickier qualifying sessions we've had recently, and seventh on the grid is not where we expected to be after the pace we've shown so far this weekend. The car felt quite different this evening – particularly in terms of [the] front end – so we'll need to investigate where it's not quite working. It's a long race tomorrow in tough conditions and everyone around us will be starting on the same tyres, so we need to try and find some performance from the data tonight to achieve our target of the podium." Alan Permane, Trackside Operations Director: "We expect strong race pace tomorrow" How was qualifying for the team? That was a great qualifying performance from Kimi who was unlucky not to be in front of both Mercedes [cars] after the final sector of his qualifying lap narrowly cost him a potential third position. By contrast, Romain had a bit of a struggle today and wasn't as comfortable with his car as he has been so far this weekend. Having both cars inside the top ten is a decent result however, as we expect to see strong race pace from the E21. What is possible tomorrow? Our target on pace alone is to race and beat Mercedes; ending the weekend with another good points haul over them in the Constructors' Championship in the process. Of course, we'll be ready to capitalise on any opportunities that Red Bull may present us, but they are looking very fast once more here. What are the tyre strategy considerations for the race? There don't appear to be too many permutations here, so it could be quite a straight-forward race. Certainly, the different options that presented themselves in New Delhi don't look to be available here so we'll watch how the race evolves and react accordingly. Subbed by AJN.

The well-lit and smoke-free pool hall promises that shooters won't have to squint as they angle for corner shots or launch games with a break that leaves the tables' smooth Simonis cloth tops as empty as a magician's rabbit farm. Open until or beyond midnight every night of the week, they keep pool players sated with sandwiches, hot dogs, and drinks while a digital jukebox belts out ideal rhythms for chalking a cue.

school demolished by Israeli criminals in Gaza, Palestine
September 12th marks the anniversary of the death of one of South Africa's most prolific and pioneering anti-Apartheid activists, Stephen Bantu Biko.
Biko rose to prominence as a student leader whilst at university, establishing the all-black and pro-black South African Students Organisation (SASO). He later became the leader of the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM) in the early 70s, an ideological revolution aimed at the uplifting of black culture in the face of the systematic and racially oppressive system that was Apartheid.
The growth of the BCM threatened the structure of Apartheid so much so that in 1973 Biko was banned, by the South African government, from taking part in any political activity and was confined to the magisterial district of King William's Town, his birth place.
In spite of being banned, Biko continued to advance the work of Black Consciousness. For instance, he established an Eastern Cape branch of BCP and through BCP he organised literacy and dressmaking classes and health education programmes. Quite significantly, he set up a health clinic outside King William's Town for poor rural Blacks who battled to access city hospitals.
In the wake of the urban revolt of 1976 and with the prospects of national revolution becoming increasingly real, security police detained Biko, the outspoken student leader, on August 18th. At this time Biko had begun studying law by mail through the University of South Africa/UNISA. He was thirty years old and was reportedly extremely fit when arrested. He was taken to Port Elizabeth but was later transferred to Pretoria where he died in detention under mysterious circumstances in 1977.
Due to local and international outcry his death prompted an inquest which at first did not adequately reveal the circumstances surrounding his death. Police alleged that he died from a hunger strike and independent sources said he was brutally murdered by police. Although his death was attributed to "a prison accident," evidence presented during the 15-day inquest into Biko's death revealed otherwise. During his detention in a Port Elizabeth police cell he had been chained to a grill at night and left to lie in urine-soaked blankets. He had been stripped naked and kept in leg-irons for 48 hours in his cell. A blow in a scuffle with security police led to him suffering brain damage by the time he was driven naked and manacled in the back of a police van to Pretoria, where, on 12 September 1977 he died.
Two years later a South African Medical and Dental Council (SAMDC) disciplinary committee found there was no prima facie case against the two doctors who had treated Biko shortly before his death. Dissatisfied doctors, seeking another inquiry into the role of the medical authorities who had treated Biko shortly before his death, presented a petition to the SAMDC in February 1982, but this was rejected on the grounds that no new evidence had come to light. Biko's death caught the attention of the international community, which increased the pressure on the South African government to abolish its detention policies and called for an international probe on the cause of his death. Even close allies of South Africa, Britain and the United States of America, expressed deep concern about the death of Biko. They also joined the increasing demand for an international probe.
It took eight years and intense pressure before the South African Medical Council took disciplinary action. On 30 January, 1985, the Pretoria Supreme Court ordered the SAMDC to hold an inquiry into the conduct of the two doctors who treated Steve Biko during the five days before he died. Judge President of the Transvaal, Justice W G Boshoff, said in a landmark judgment that there was prima facie evidence of improper or disgraceful conduct on the part of the "Biko" doctors in a professional respect. This serves to illustrate that so many years after Biko's death his influence lived on.
He is survived by his two sons.
Since August 19, tens of thousands of teachers in Mexico have been on an all-out strike against proposed changes to the Mexican constitution aimed at making possible a No Child Left Behind-like law that would pave the way to privatization, the acceleration of high-stakes standardized testing, loss of tenure, and the end of union control over hiring.
Although the official leaders of the union have largely gone along with "reform" agenda, rank-and-file teachers in an enormous democratic opposition movement have taken the initiative. They are not only striking, but have established encampments or occupations in cities around the country—and organized massive marches in Mexico City, even blockading the main highway to and from the international airport. Then, on Wednesday, September 11, thousands of teachers broke through police lines to occupy one of Mexico City's largest thoroughfares in a confrontation near the National Auditorium.
Repression has been fierce and a showdown could come, as labor journalist Dan LaBotz warns, if Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, commonly referred to as EPN, tries to clear teachers out of the Zócalo, the massive plaza in Mexico City where independence celebrations are traditionally initiated on September 16. While teachers continue their strike, the government has also taken steps to ram through other neoliberal measures, including the privatization of the state oil company PEMEX.
Luis Rangel, a student organizer in Mexico City and activist with the Revolutionary Workers Party (PRT, by its Spanish initials), talked to about the developing situation and what could come next.
ON SEPTEMBER 3, the night before the first day of school, members of the Seattle Education Association (SEA) approved a new two-year contract by a narrow vote of 60 percent to 40 percent.
The vote was particularly controversial because the contract failed to resolve issues that had been key sticking points with the district over several months of negotiations. A rank-and-file group of teachers that has helped to organize and defend a boycott of the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) test,Social Equality Educators (SEE), advocated for a "no" vote at the meeting.
There are several concessions in the new contract that sparked intense anger among many teachers.
Up until the tentative agreement was reached, SEA leadership insisted that it would only agree to a lengthened elementary school day if it included restored physical education, art and music classes (a measure that is extremely popular among parents and community members). Instead, the new contract includes the district's original proposal to lengthen the school day without any additional resources, nor pay for elementary teachers.
Teachers have also been demanding caseload limits for educational staff associates such as psychologists and nurses. The new contract merely calls for a new process to work toward limits, rather than instituting actual limits. The contract also includes a 2 percent raise for the first year and a 2.5 percent raise for the second year, a pittance for teachers who haven't received a cost-of-living increase in five years.
Finally, and perhaps most concerning for many teachers, is the new evaluation system that the contract puts into place. In addition to new state-mandated evaluations that are connected to test scores, the contract adds an additional evaluation process based on standardized test scores for teachers in tested grade levels and subjects.
Jesse Hagopian, a teacher at Garfield High School and member of SEE, spoke at the contract vote and said:
This contract has the exact same four sticking points that we walked away from last week [in a nearly unanimous vote against the district's proposal]. We would be the only district in the entire state that would have to jump through two hoops. Why, when we are the city that revolted against standardized testing, where parents voted unanimously to support the MAP boycott at Garfield High School, would we accept standardized testing into our contract? That is ludicrous.
One year ago, Chicago was the site of one of the most important labor battles in decades, as union teachers took on the City Hall bully—and won. After nine days of picketing and protesting, Mayor Rahm Emanuel, his handpicked school board and the city's combined political and business establishment were forced to back down on their all-out assault on the Chicago Teachers Union.

This excerpt from the book's introduction was first published at AlterNet.org. We are republishing it here to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the teachers' victory.is author of a forthcoming book on the strike:
a friendly reminder: COLLEGE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE
- people who went/go to college are not 'better' or 'smarter' than anyone else
- there is no right time to pursue 'higher education'
- no matter what, you are still a person and you deserve to be treated with respect

if you aren't fucking angry about this, I don't even wanna fucking know you. unfollow me. leave me alone. you need to be angry, so fucking angry that you fight every single fucking day, in whatever way you fucking can, to make sure that we can have a better future for ourselves — our friends, our loved ones, our brothers and sisters and their children. fucking fight. get angry, motherfuckers. you should be fucking furious. this injustice is vile.
and if you're white, if you have that kind of privilege, fucking use it — white people need to work to annihilate their forefathers' toxicity.
"This system is gonna be overthown. It's gonna mean a fight. And it's gonna mean a lot of white people risking a lot of things when they finally join on the side of the Black people and the people of Vietnam and around the world who have already begun the fight." -Weather Underground
i'm actually on the verge of tears as a PoC in the army i gotta question why the hell i wanna serve my country every single day if we're gonna keep allowing shit like this to happen like how am i supposed to lead young people like me to educate others and fight for true liberty and freedom if every law and code in this damn country is tryin to make sure we die in vain before we can change anything? they stack the fuckin cards against us with every other fuckin decision they make. i don't care if i get in trouble for saying this. this country's institutions couldn't give less of a fuck about people of color and they'd rather do some fucked up illegal racist shit like this while the whole world is watching before they even admit to it. how are we supposed to go on trying, how are we supposed to stay motivated?

Neal finished 26th in a time of 8:04 at the North Face 50 Mile championships on December 5 in Marin County, north of San Francisco. The top male, Uli Steidl, ran 6:33 and the top female, Caitlin Smith, finished in 7:38. This race, criticized in past years for poor course marking and lots of hype, offers $15,000.00 to the top three men and women finishers. Review of this years race on Andy Jones-Wilkins blog | Race Results
We had 27 participants in this year's version of Vicki's Death March. This was a very nice turnout for the first Friday edition of the run. In years past, the VDM has generally been on a Thanksgiving weekend Saturday or Sunday. Looks like there are enough club members more interested in the mountain trails than in participating in the "Black Friday" sales at the malls to continue the Friday date in the years to come.
Pictures have been posted - Doug Sullivan | Anstr Davidson
The terms of office of the members of the current VHTRC board expire on December 31. Three of the five members are not running for reelection. We need qualified people to step forward to lead the club.
There were a number of big stories at this year's running of The Ring in the Massanutten Mountains, held as per tradition on Labor Day weekend. The course has never been tougher, with the runners encountering not just the usual rocks, but also heat, humidity, spider webs, flying and biting insects, and overgrowth in abundance from this wet summer. It was a fair challenge for the 43 starters, a challenge that only 47% were able to complete this year.Congratulations to Danny Mowers, who for the second year in a row ran away from the rest of a strong field with an overall win at The Ring. This year Danny finished in a time of 16:03, which was very impressive under the conditions.
Gilbert Gray won the Cyprus Ultra 135 on Cyprus. He was the only finisher. The event is a 15-lap run in heat and humidity. It appears that no one had finished it before Gilbert did. Gilbert also finished MMT in May, and Western States in June. Event Web site | Results (on Twitter)
VHTRC members Brad Hinton and Sheri Fiolek swept the top honors at the inaugural running of the Cacapon 12 Hour trail event in West Virginia on Sunday July 21. Brad was the overall winner, and Sheri was the top woman finisher in this race. More information should eventually be posted here: Race web site
A large group of VHTRC runners traveled to Silverton, Colorado for the Hardrock 100. This year, the course ran counterclockwise, which is considered by many veterans the harder direction. Jack Kurisky led the Blue Train finishers with a 40:02 finish. Bob Combs, Tom Simonds, Steve Pero, Jeff Holdaway, and Deb Pero also finished, and Brad Koenig became the first New Jersey resident to not only finish Hardrock (which he did in 2012), but also the first to complete both directions. Results
In temperatures that reached triple digits along the course, Oregonian and VHTRC member Amy Sproston finished atop the Western States women's podium for a third place finish in 19:25. Mike Morton, who started his ultra career 19 years ago with great runs at JFK, MMT, and Bull Run, was third male in 15:45, only five minutes off his WS course record from 1997. The heat took its toll on the field, as the only other Blue Train runners who finished were John Shepherd in 27:25, Linda Gaudette in 28:42, and Tom Green in 29:52. WS live updates
On March 5, we noted that the bluebells are popping out of the ground at Bull Run Regional Park - the upstream turnaround of Bull Run Run. In a month they should have flowers. We also noted extensive deer trails and a very interesting carcass. We have sent these to Gary for interpretations. Photos (warning the carcass, which is the last one, is gross)
Robin Watkins reports: "Adam Watkins finished the Iditarod Trail Invitational yesterday. The 350 mile trek across the moonscapes of Alaska, from Willow to McGrath, saw temperatures dip to -20 deg F and Adam finished in 6 days 22 hours 30 min in 5th place in the foot division. He 'blogged' from his satellite phone and you can see more information about the race. For the ITI, racers are invited to travel 350 or 1000 miles by foot, ski or bike. Video of the start - Adam coming into view around 0:20 and the camera moves with him to the end of the shot. WOOOhooo!!!!"

TT: Further up the road
In today's Wall Street Journal drama column I review the off-Broadway premiere of Amy Herzog's The Great God Pan and a Boston remounting of David Cromer's production of Our Town. Here's an excerpt.
* * *
Few things in theater are more exciting than watching a talented young artist come into her own. That's what has been happening to Amy Herzog. In "After the Revolution," the story of a family of red-diaper leftists, and "4000 Miles," its sequel, Ms. Herzog showed herself to be possessed of a rare gift: the ability to write witty, incisive studies of people in whom the personal has collided with the political to potentially devastating effect. What is most striking about those two plays is that they are informed by ideology without being driven by it: Their tone is as light as their subject matter is dark. Much the same can be said of "The Great God Pan," Ms. Herzog's new play, which is not as effective as its predecessors but still leaves no doubt of her gifts.
"The Great God Pan" is "about" recovered memory in the same way that "After the Revolution" and "4000 Miles" are "about" Communism: Its nominal subject is a pretext for the exploration of the personalities of its characters. Jamie (Jeremy Strong), the protagonist of "The Great God Pan," is a pleasant but emotionally inhibited young journalist whose glassy surface is shattered when he discovers more or less simultaneously that (A) he may have been molested as a child and (B) Paige (Sarah Goldberg), his longtime girlfriend, is pregnant....
It's a worthy premise, but Ms. Herzog doesn't quite manage to bring it off. Not only does "The Great God Pan" lack suppleness--the plot feels schematic--but the play's principal characters are drawn so closely to their new-class type as to suggest a satirical intent that is at odds with the play's emotional weight....
David Cromer's universally acclaimed production of "Our Town" originated in Chicago in 2008, ran for more than 600 performances Off Broadway, then transferred successfully to Los Angeles. Now it has been remounted by Boston's Huntington Theatre Company, with Mr. Cromer repeating his coolly ironic performance as the Stage Manager. I caught it in New York and was stunned--no lesser word is strong enough--by the potency with which Mr. Cromer re-envisioned Thornton Wilder's 1938 masterpiece about life in a small New Hampshire town, dressing his cast in street clothes and encouraging them to act with casual, desentimentalizing directness. You can't help but wonder whether so overwhelming a show can stand up to repeat viewings, so I decided to drive up to Boston and see for myself. The answer is decidedly in the affirmative....

what pills are the best to overdose on?
- Asked by Girl, 18-21
I'm sorry you feel this way, its no way to feel. But you do not need to take your life, it is a selfish thing to do and believe me you friends and family will be so sad. My cousin committed sucide a couple of years ago ,when he was 16. We are all still trying to get over it, so please don't do this. You are so young and I know that life sucks now it does for everyone at 16.We have all been where you are right now, but trust me when I say it does get better. Life is funny this way they give us a ton of things that we think we can live through and we do and then we are stronger for that. Talk to your parents or tell them that you want to talk with someone to get some stem off of your chest. Maybe there's a good teacher around that you trust, but do not tell them this bc then they have to report it and it could blow up in your face. Please think long and hard and know that your life will be better. Email me if you ever need to talk.

The 2013-14 Kansas State Men's Basketball Non-Conference Schedule has been released and several enticing games appear on the schedule. Although not a gauntlet loaded with heavyweights, a rematch with 2013 NCAA tournament #1 seed Gonzaga and possible rematch with Michigan in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off headline the itinerary.
The Puerto Rico Tip-Off features eight teams that all qualified for the NCAA or NIT Tournament, including powerhouses Georgetown, Michigan, and VCU:
Northeastern (CAA, 20-13) Charlotte (Atlantic 10, 21-12), Florida State (Atlantic Coast, 18-16), Georgetown (Big East, 25-7,), Kansas State (Big 12, 27-8), Long Beach State (Big West, 19-14), Michigan (Big Ten, 31-8) and VCU(Atlantic 10, 27-9, NCAA).
The schedule begins with an exhibition game against Pitt State. The game against Long Beach State will remind fans of 2011 when the Wildcats broke onto the scene after defeating the 49ers to win the Diamond Head Tip-Off and break into the top 25. Other games to look forward to are Ole Miss and George Washington. Ole Miss finished 27-9 and won the SEC tournament by beating Florida. The Rebels also defeated Wisconsin in the NCAA tournament before falling to nemesis La Salle. George Washington finished 7-9 in the Atlantic 10 last year, and the Colonials are always competitive in one of the nation's best conferences with St. Louis, VCU, Butler, La Salle, and Xavier among the league's leaders.

2012 Juvenile Fillies
Beholder was formidable from the start, taking a clear lead on the first turn and setting a solid pace of :46.47 for the half and an even 1:11 for the first six furlongs. Challenged by the undefeated post-time favorite Executiveprivilege in the final furlong, Beholder responded to urging from rider Garrett Gomez, digging in to win by one length. Executiveprivilege finished 4 1/4 lengths ahead of Dreaming of Julia, who suffered her first career loss in crossing the wire third.
