This is the enthralling account of a Christian's epic journey. With a burden on his back, Christian reads a book that tells him that the city in which he and his family dwell will be set ablaze. Christian flees from the City of Destruction and journeys through the Slough of Despond, the Interpreter's House, the House Beautiful, the Valley of Humiliation, the Valley of the Shadow of Death, Vanity Fair, Doubting Castle, and the Delectable Mountains, and finally reaches the Celestial City.
(P)1997 Blackstone Audiobooks; originally published in 1670, United Kingdom
"A good Audio Book"
This was the first audio book that I chose to listen to, and although I had heard it was good, I did not know much about it beforehand.
In the introduction, Bunyan's prose is written in couplets, which proved quite difficult to understand. But he quickly begins the story, and the language becomes much easier to understand. In the first half, the author recounts a "dream story" where a man, named Christian, leaves the city called Destruction to head up the trail to the Holy city. Along the way, he meets such characters as a man named Mr. Ignorant and Mr. Timorous, goes through such places as the "Slough of Despond" and the Valley of the Shadow of Death.
Clearly this is an allegory about the Christian journey of faith, and I think everybody should know that going in. If you are a Christian, you will likely find this an uplifting and inspiring work which, in addition to being entertaining, may accurately depict some of your own struggles along the way. If you are not a Christian, you may feel the prose gets a little preachy in parts, but you will regardless enjoy the meticulous prose and wonderful imagination with which this allegory is told.
Robert Whitfield reads with wonderful, light, English clarity, and his voices of the characters are distinct. The recording is also clear and easy to understand.
"Truth contained here!"
This beautifully written allegory is the perfect metaphor of a ?pilgrims? journey through life with word pictures that will soothe your soul as you realize your journey along ?The Way? to the Kingdom is not so different than Christian?s. The author is brilliant in his poetry and Biblical truth. A must ?read? for all Christians. Unknown to me before listening, we are treated with a bonus of an additional journey by Christian?s wife and three children.
"Pilgrim's Progress"
If you are well versed with the King James version of the Bible, you will find this to be an enjoyable, well narrated version of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress.
If you use a modern day version of the Bible, the 16th century English may be a bit hard to follow. Nevertheless, if you listen carefully, you will get hours of enjoyment from this audio book.
"Must Read (listen)"
This is one of the best books I have ever experienced. I think listening to it even added to the experience for me. The only thing I regret is that I couldn't highlight the many sections that profoundly impacted me.
"Simply Amazing"
This audiobook was awesome. It made a 12 hour trip to Virginia fly by. It included extra parts like the author's bio and a sequel, all for the price of the book. Love it!
"Theology in an Allegorical Nugget"
Very solid theological teaching. Fresh perspective from most sermons today. The only bad thing about the audio is that you miss the nuances of some of Bunyan's character names that you'd be able to catch seeing it in print.
"Change of pace"
Not exactly riveting stuff, with no car chases, CIA double agents or political scheming. It's well worth a listen when you need a change of pace. Whether you're a deeply-religous Christian, vaguely Christian, of another religion, agnostic or atheist, if you want a relaxing, thought-provoking listen, this is worth a download.

"After all this time, still a great story"
In an allegory, characters are often straight forward with little depth to them. That is the way Christian is in this timeless tale from John Bunyan, originally published in 1678. Nevertheless, he does grow and change as he advances in his journey toward the Celestial City. I really loved this story, and I think I liked the second half, the story of Christian's wife, Christiana, and her own journey with their four sons, even better than the first. This book is easy to understand and has many lessons for life contained in it, and presented in a way that won't be soon forgotten. I will read and listen to it agina.
We are a couple who love books and occasionally write reviews. We rarely read the same book so our reviews express our individual opinions.
The Pilgrims'Progress is a true monument of English literature. With the power of its universal imagery and the bumpy but engaging style of Bunyan's prose it is one of the books that never loses its appeal for the sympathetic reader. Robert Whitfield does a stunning job, maintining a strong rhythmic narrative flow while displaying a masterful (and consistent) variety of accents for the various characters. He also conveys Bunyan's apparently fundamentalist Christian message in a way which highlights the universal nature of many of his themes. Audio quality is very good.
"A Tue Classic of the Christian's Walk"
I had heard of this book through a similar work that CS Lewis had written, The Pilgrim's Regress. Lewis made note that he followed the same style as Bunyan in The Pilgrim's Progress. I read Lewis' book (paperback version) and liked it; so I decided to give Bunyan's book a try.
I am now a fan of Bunyan's writings and plan on purchasing more of his works, both in paperback and audio form.
This story "in the similitude of a dream" is filled with so many lessons that I have already listened to it twice and am currently working on my third pass through it, each time with a new blessing, a new lesson.
If you are serious about being on the right road to heaven, this is a must have.
"Vibrant classic"
Those who have never essayed this puritan classic will be delighted by the humour and vigour of the discourse and incident in Christian's way (part one.) Who'd-a-thunk-it? The wit that emerges from the vocalisations is a delight. Love the regional accents applied by the admirable Mr Whitfield and the earthy humanity of Bunyan himself.
Part two - Mrs Christian and family - is a little less rumbustious. By now, the metaphor has been fully developed and the tone becomes more preachy. Some of the potential sexism of the first book is redressed.
Overall, Christians in particular will find much that challenges, refreshes and inspires in this faithful and imaginative dramatisation.
"bunyan's great book"
excellent book, moving and inspiring, much easier to follow by listening. Though I need to get a paper copy as well. If you are a Christian I recommend this.
"The Pilgrim's Progress"
Well what is there to say about this timeless classic that hasn't already been said?
It is an excellent story especially when one considers how the story was written, that is by a man imprisoned for his faith. Imprisoned because his expression of his Christian faith was opposed by the established church of his day.
Four hundred years forwards and in many countries people are still suffering for following Jesus as the Holy Spirit leads.
The Pilgrim's Progress is as relevant today as when first written.
"Well read"
I initially bought the paperback of this book, but never got round to reading it, and I'm glad in the end I listened to it, as the archaic language would probably have made me put it down. I enjoyed the tale, and although it is not perhaps deep in literary technique, character development, etc that we generally expect from books, I would recommend it to any Christian who will understand the allegory and analogy from the Bible.

Jenson Button was delighted, Sebastian Vettel relieved and Lewis Hamilton dejected after they had finished in that order at the end of Sunday's incident-filled Qantas Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park.
Button, who had started second on the grid alongside his McLaren team-mate and fellow-Briton Lewis Hamilton, took control of the race on the opening lap when he took the lead at the first turn.
Hamilton was 'bogged down' off the grid and never recovered.
Vettel, who started sixth after a poor qualifying session for Red Bull on Saturday, fought his way through the field and took full advantage of a Safety Car intervention to steal ahead of Hamilton for second.
"That was beautiful, just a perfect start and it shows how important a good winter can be," said Button on his slowing-down lap. "A great start to the year for me and the team!
It was Button's third win in four years at the Australian Grand Prix and the 13th of his career.
"Every win means a lot," added Button. "As a team, the win shows how important the winter is. We've had a strong winter and yesterday we showed that in qualifying. It's nice to come away with victory in the first race of the new season.
"The guys have done an amazing job this winter. This win will definitely help them push hard in the extra hours in the morning and I thank them for that, doing that work for the extra parts that are so vital.
"So, a big thank you to everyone at Woking for this victory. It's a pretty amazing day."
Vettel said he believed he had a good chance to attack the McLarens in the race and would have pushed to pass Hamilton even without the assistance of a Safety Car intervention that worked in his favour, after 38 laps, when Russian Vitaly Petrov pulled up and parked his Caterham on the straight.
He said: "I decided to stay out when Lewis went into the pits and I think we would have had a crack without the Safety Car. Maybe it helped us a little bit to get past Lewis. We had a great stop. Thanks to the team for that!
"I thought I would be in a good position to have a go at Jenson, but two corners and ... he was gone. It wasn't very easy to get away from Lewis but Jenson was out of sight. He deserved to win today."
A taciturn Hamilton would only say: "Firstly, congratulations to Jenson - he did great job, and to the team for doing great job over the winter. It was a bit of a tough day for me, but we've got a lot of races ahead of us. I was in a very similar to position to what I was last year. It was a tough race, but still positive for the team, so hopefully we can take that on for the next race."
Asked how it was he appeared to struggle for pace in the race after looking so fast in qualifying, he said: "I've no idea...."
Button, by contrast, summed it all up superbly.
"I think we all think this is going be a very special year with six world champions in Formula One - and many great, competitive teams," he said.
"F1 is in a great place right now. I am excited at the prospects, ahead of Malaysia next week, but right now I am going to enjoy myself with the team, my family and friends. I will turn my attention to the next race tomorrow."

Over 300 alumni, friends and supporters of the University came together for the annual House of Lords reception, now in its seventh year, on Friday 5th November.
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor David Eastwood likened the event to a huge family wedding and was delighted to meet so many of our global community of alumni, some of whom had travelled from as far away as Iran and the USA. Professor Eastwood set out Birmingham's strategy to become one of the world's leading universities over the next five years and announced that we are tantalisingly close to completing the University's £60 million Circles of Influence campaign.
The ever-popular reception, which sold out in a record-breaking 12 hours this year, was an enjoyable evening of conversation with old classmates and new friends. Alumni attended from across the University's disciplines and ranging from graduates of the 1940s to those who graduated most recently in July 2010, all of whom were keen to talk to representatives from the Guild of Students and some of our student scholarship recipients about life on today's thriving campus. Wine and canapés were served throughout the evening as alumni enjoyed the views of the Thames, the London Eye and other landmarks from the terrace. Guests were also invited to take a tour of the Houses of Parliament, which were thankfully free of gunpowder on this inauspicious date!
Thank you to everyone who attended and made the evening such an enjoyable and memorable occasion.
Next year's reception will take place on Friday 14th October 2011. Details of the event will be emailed to all alumni in the UK and online booking will be available in August. To ensure you receive details of the next event, please visit www.your.bham.ac.uk to update your details

Submission Guidelines
The Review of Economic Studies receives more than a thousand new submissions per year. To assist the Editorial Office in prompt processing of this high volume of papers authors are requested to follow these guidelines.
Submissions and Resubmissions
Submission procedure
Authors should submit new and revised manuscripts online at:
where they will be guided through a simple and secure procedure which will enable them to unload their papers, along with any supporting material, and also enter or update their personal details. Manuscripts are evaluated by the Review of Economic Studies on the understanding that they have been submitted solely to it and that they have not been previously published or previously accepted for publication in other scientific journals either in whole or in part.
Data Availability Policy
Please read this section carefully as we are unable to enter submissions which do not comply with our policy on data into the editorial process.
The Review of Economic Studies will publish papers only if the data used in the analysis are clearly and precisely documented and are readily available to any researcher for purposes of replication. Authors of accepted papers which contain empirical work, simulations, or experimental work, must provide to the Review, prior to publication, the data, programs, and other details of the computations sufficient to permit replication. These will be posted alongside the article at Oxford Journals Review Archive. We reserve the right to refuse publication of papers whose authors do not comply with these requirements.
As a matter of principle, we discourage papers that rely on completely proprietary data. Authors who feel that they can raise an exception should discuss this with the Editors. On the other hand, we will consider papers that are based on data that can only be available at some cost (either monetary or because access to the data is limited, e.g. to some Research Data Center). In that case, the authors must still provide all programs and instructions a researcher would require to replicate their paper once (s)he has access to the data.
As soon as possible after receiving instructions from the Review office, authors are expected to send their data, programs, and sufficient details to permit replication, in electronic form. Please send the files via e-mail to Annika Andreasson (email@example.com), indicating the manuscript number. Questions regarding any aspect of this policy should be forwarded to the Editors at the same email address.
Empirical papers:
For econometric and simulation papers, the authors should provide at least:
- The data set(s) and programs used to run the final models. The data files can be provided in any standard format; the programs can be written in any standard programming language (including higher-level languages).
- A description of how previous intermediate data sets and programs were employed to create the final data set(s).
- A description of the purpose of each data set and program.
Both description files should be provided in PDF format.
Experimental papers:
We normally expect authors of experimental articles to supply the following materials:
- The design summary of the experiment.
- The original instructions given to the subjects.
- Information about subject eligibility or selection.
- Any computer programs, configuration files or scripts used to run the experiment and/or to analyse the data.
- The raw data from the experiment, with sufficient explanation to make it possible to use the submitted computer programs to replicate the data analysis.
On each of these five points, a summary should be given in the manuscript of the paper and a complete version should be provided before publication for posting on the Review web site.
Again, any description should be provided in a PDF format file
There are no fees for submission of manuscripts to the Review.
Please note that the editorial team reserves the right to treat 'revise and resubmit' papers as new submissions after two years.
Papers newly accepted for publication
The next step…
Annika Andreasson at the Editorial Office (firstname.lastname@example.com) will contact authors as soon as possible after receiving their final acceptance decision for instructions on how to send files for publication purposes and any other data necessary to support their paper.
Data availability
Please make sure that you have read our policy on data availability (above). Failure to comply with its terms could delay or even prevent publication of your paper.
Copyright Assignment
Authors will be required to assign copyright in their paper to the Review of Economic Studies Limited. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned. Government employees need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned.
If you have any questions relating to these guidelines please contact Annika Andreasson (firstname.lastname@example.com).

EDMONTON - When Sheila Chouinard was driving home from work one day five years ago, she heard an advertisement on the radio about how Women Building Futures (WBF) helps women obtain good careers.
At that time, Chouinard was overworked, stressed out and underpaid as owner of a landscaping company in Edmonton.
"The ad resonated with me. I knew I needed a change but didn't know where to start," said Chouinard, now 34. "I was unhappy with my career. Owning your own company is a lot of stress. The job is 24-7 and when you stretch your paycheque over 24 hours, there is not very much left."
Chouinard called WBF the next day, attended an information session at its Edmonton facility and signed up for the two-day assessment. She was accepted, approved for funding and enrolled in the Journeywomen Start Program where she was introduced to various trades and other training over 17 weeks.
"I decided to become an electrician. Electrician appealed to me because it seemed like a trade where there would always be something new to learn and keep me challenged," said Chouinard, who also holds a forestry diploma and studied pre-law at university.
Lenora Forseth, WBF student employment co-ordinator, said Chouinard showed a passion for excellence and an eye for detail which she has been able to bring to the workplace, making her an outstanding employee.
Forseth helped arrange an apprenticeship placement for Chouinard with Ledcor Industrial at Shell Albian Sands oilsands project, north of Fort McMurray.
"They were good to me for a number of years, but I decided to give up camp life and find a permanent position in Edmonton and am now at Kiewit Energy, building modules for the Kearl Lake project," said Chouinard.
In June 2012, Chouinard became a journeyman electrician and now earns $40.87 per hour, with good benefits, a regular work schedule and job satisfaction.
"It's so fulfilling to build something and see your work in front of you and see what a great job you did and walk away knowing that it's done and you have a new adventure ahead. When I am at my job, I am 100 per cent present, but when I go home, I leave my work behind. I am much happier than when I had to think about work 24 hours a day," said Chouinard, originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.
Chouinard admits it is not always easy being a woman in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
"You've got to be in the trades for the right reasons: because you want to be a tradesman and keep your career professional," she said. Enjoy your co-workers — you spend more time with them than anyone else in your life — but leave work at work."
Chouinard said that in her experience, bigger companies tend to hire women more readily because they see the credentials, not the gender, while smaller companies are more reticent, possibly because of smaller workplaces and limited facilities. "We are lucky we have these large energy companies. The job opportunities are huge, but I wouldn't have got my start as an electrician at all if it weren't for Women Building Futures. They changed my life."

Hundreds of children were on the (egg) hunt in Hudson
HUDSON - Hundreds of area kids filled the fields at Benson Park Friday night for the Hudson Recreation Department's third annual Easter Egg Hunt.
More than 8,000 plastic eggs were scattered on the grounds of the former amusement park and zoo.
Staff members, volunteers and members of area Girl Scout troops were hard at work filling eggs last week and hiding them on the field Friday afternoon, according to Hudson Recreation Director David Yates.
The evening was divided into two sessions - one for children in the first grade and younger, and another for those in grades 2 and up.
A visit from the Easter Bunny concluded this year's festivities.

U.S. Congress in session
WASHINGTON, DC – The Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU) has announced that nearly ten percent of the 113th U.S. Congress are Jesuit college and university alumni/ae. Among the 535 Members of this Congress, 52 of them are alumni/ae of Jesuit institutions: 11 in the Senate and 41 in the House of Representatives.
Congressman John Boehner (R-OH, Xavier alumnus) is serving his second term as Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Congressman Steny Hoyer (D-MD, Georgetown alumnus) continues to serve as the House Minority Whip. In the Senate, Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL, Georgetown alumnus) continues his service as the Assistant Majority Leader.
Of the 52 alumni/ae, nine were elected in 2012. Prior to her election, Senator Mazie K. Hirono (D-HI, Georgetown alumna) previously served as a Member of the House of Representatives. Of the newly-elected alumni, Representative Juan C. Vargas (D-CA, Fordham alumnus) was a Jesuit in studies for the priesthood.
There are currently 14 Jesuit institutions represented by alumni/ae in the U.S. Congress. Georgetown University has the most alumni/ae with a total of 21, followed by Boston College with 7 and Fordham University with 5. The College of the Holy Cross has 4, Creighton University has 3 and Loyola University Chicago, Saint Peter's University and University of Detroit Mercy all have two alumni/ae represented.

"We are proud that nearly 10 percent of Congress are alumni/ae of Jesuit colleges and universities," said AJCU President Rev. Gregory Lucey, SJ. "We are grateful for their leadership, and we look forward to strengthening the excellent working relationships we have already established with those in Congress and forging ties with new members of the 113th Congress."
Obama Administration
Complementing the number of Jesuit college and university alumni/ae serving as congressional representatives are the alumni/ae appointed by President Barack Obama to serve in key leadership positions. Members of the Obama administration from AJCU institutions include Department of Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta (Santa Clara University, 1960, BA); Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet A. Napolitano (Santa Clara University, 1979, BA); and White House Chief of Staff Jacob Lew (Georgetown University, 1983, JD).

Recipe by Nanci
"This is a heavy, dense, extremely good pound cake."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese
1 1/2 cups
3 cups
white sugar
3 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
I have been making this pound cake for years, with only small changes. Increase the vanilla to 1 1/2 tsp or 2tsp, (your preference) I use 2. Start with ROOM TEMPERATURE butter,(REAL butter) cream cheese and eggs which makes for easier mixing and a more creamy outcome, and using cake flour (cup for cup) gives it a more velvet type texture. I also add the eggs one at a time and make sure each one is completely mixed in before adding the next. And the baking time really depends on how true your oven temp is. Sometimes it may take two hours for this cake to bake if your oven is lower than 325, but baking at a higher temp will cook the outside, but not the in. Tricky? Yes. Worth the effort? Oh yes! Be patient with the mixing, and you will have the best pound cake you will ever eat. It stands alone, or you can top it with whatever you want. Simply the best for a good old fashion comfort dessert.
I'm not sure exactly how to rate this.. I made it Saturday for a party on Sunday and cooked it for 1 hour 20 minutes as directed (I used a bundt pan). I checked it with a toothpick for doneness and it came out clean. Imagine my HORROR when I went to cut it 20 minutes before the party to find that it was raw in the middle. I have never had this experience with a cake before and I bake often. So as for taste, the edge I could taste was great, but WATCH YOUR TIME so you won't be scrambling at the last minute like I was yesterday. And the toothpick test for doneness apparently isn't accurate for pound cake. :-(

Wonderful! I made this cake (with just 2 adjustments) for my boss' birthday yesterday, and absolutely everyone devoured it and asked for the recipe. In fact, one woman almost cried when she took her first bite- she said it tasted just like her mother's pound cake from decades ago!
The only changes I made were to decrease the sugar to 2 1/2 cups, and add some almond extract along with the vanilla.
Also, just a note, but swan's down cake flour is the only flour that I will use for pound cakes. It gives the cake a very fine crumb without the need to sift.
One more comment: to those people who have uncooked dough in their finished cakes, make sure that your butter and cream cheese are both at true room temperature. Otherwise, the cream cheese doesn't get mixed in and never bakes up, no matter how long you leave it in the oven.
If your crust burned before the cake was completely cooked, either the oven was too hot, or your oven doesn't circulate the hot air (convection oven). Use a thermometer to tell what the exact temperature of your oven is, and rotate the cake every 20-25 minutes if it's an older oven.
I don't give very many 5 star rating unless the recipe is truly "the best". This pound cake deserved all 5 stars!! This could probably be the best pound cake I have ever made...but I did tweak it a bit. I used 1-1/4 cups of butter and 1/4 cup of buttermilk. Buttermilk is a secret ingredient of mine that I like to use in place of regular milk called for in a recipe. It makes your cakes, muffins and breads very moist. This recipe didn't call for any liquid, but I did add a little for that "moistness". I also added a tsp of lemon extract to the batter along with the vanilla. The lemon flavor was very light, but gave it a little something special. Perfect recipe!! Many thanks Nanci.
This a great pound cake! The texture is truly like velvet. It was golden on the outside, creamy white on the in. And it was just delicious. I've found that good pound cakes aren't hard to make, but they require some care in making them. You can't rush the mixing process. (If you have one, use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment for the best result.) Beat the butter and the cream cheese until it looks silky. Add sugar in a slow stream with the mixer still running and beat until this is full and fluffy. This takes a good while, but this how you'll get a lighter cake. The butter, cheese, sugar and eggs mixture should be well mixed because once you add the flour, you are only mixing to incorporate. Beating the flour in will result in a mess. I followed someone else's suggestion and exchanged 1/4 cup of butter for buttermilk. I baked in a cold oven, the way I always make a pound cake, and had a nice crusty exterior.
This cake was absolutely phenomenal. I used two loaf pans. I mixed the sugar into creamed butter and cream cheese in a thin stream, then added one egg at a time (Make sure that the egg is at room temp). To freshen things up a little bit, I filled the loaf pan about a third way up, and sprinkled some raspberries. Then I topped more batter to completely cover the raspberries. The raspberries were a delightful surprise! Refer to my photo to see how it looks like. Not only does it add a refreshing touch, but also looks beautiful when sliced. Absolutely gorgeous cake!
Delicious! I made the recipe as directed the first time, and it was great. The second time, however, I decided to tweak it a little. I prepared the batter as directed, then I added 1/4 cup of buttermilk and 2 tsp of pure lemon extract, because I love lemon pound cake. I also made a yummy glaze out of 2/3 cup of melted margarine, 3 cups of confectioner's sugar, and 1.5tsp of lemon extract. This is a slightly crispy glaze when it sets, and the margarine has just the right amount of salt to offset the sweetness of the cake.
Oh my word....This is the best and easiest pound cake I have ever made. I do think the key to a good pound cake is allow your ingredients to set out so that it can be close to room temperature prior to mixing also beat the ingredients for a while make sure everything is mixed well and that butter and sugar are FLUFFY. You could put fresh fruit or even do a glaze for this cake. Thank you for the great recipe!

Kane's Sydney Dyne goes up for a shot during Saturday's scrimmage against St. Marys. Practice for winter sports seasons began last Monday for KHS basketball and wrestling teams. Dyne and the Lady Wolves will open their season on Monday, Dec. 9 on the road against Elk County Catholic.
MT. JEWETT – Activity at the bear check station at the Mt. Jewett Fire Hall in McKean County was slow on Saturday afternoon, with only a dozen bears being brought to the site through 3 p.m. to kick off the opening day of the statewide firearms bear season. In addition to Saturday, the four-day season continues today through Wednesday.
Ten of the Wolves Football members were named to the AML All-Star South Team, the most by any team this year.
Kane's Evan DeLong is shown here making one of his 18 sacks of the season. The Wolves' senior led District IX in the category by a wide margin. Also in the top ten on the list is teammate Nathan Klaiber, who finished the season with eight.
Kane's Jamie Lingenfelter, shown here making a tackle in the Wolves' final game of the season, finished his season as District 9's third leading tackler, according to D9sports.com. Lingenfelter, a junior for the Wolves, finished the season with 126 stops in 11 games.
CLARION – The 2013 Kane Wolves' season came to an abrupt halt on Friday night at Clarion University. For the second straight season, the Karns City Gremlins defeated the Wolves in the District 9 AA Championship game, this time by a 49-21 score.
The Wolves had not lost a game since last Nov. 16 when the Gremlins scored in the final seconds of last year's title contest to take the crown. Kane had reeled off 11 straight wins to begin the season, becoming only the third undefeated team in Wolves' history.
The 2012 Kane Wolves football season came to a heartbreaking end with last year's 33-27 loss to Karns City in the District 9 AA Championship game. Gremlins' quarterback Tyler Kepple completed a 9-yard pass to Dakota Mohney for the go ahead touchdown with 12 seconds left on the clock. The Wolves had rallied after a first half injury to running back Jonah Smith to take the lead with 3:29 left in the game, but coach Ed Conto's team drove 65 yards on 15 plays to put an end to Kane's season.
I often talk about Blue Jays and how I like them. There are many people that can't stand Blue Jays and I can understand that. They are big, loud, and can be rather intimidating. I still think that they are a beautiful bird with a bad rap, and deserve another look. Although I like the Jays, they often show up at my feeder when I'm trying to photograph my "real" favorite bird, the Cardinal.
The Kane Wolves improved to 11-0 but more importantly earned a spot in next weekend's District 9 AA finals with a hard fought 26-12 win over Brookville on Friday. Playing on a sloppy field at Kane's Paul R Miller Stadium, the Wolves put together a workman like effort to defeat the Raiders, who entered the game with a 6-4 record.
The Wolves' defense started out hot, forcing the Raiders to punt after three plays, including a tackle for a loss on second down by Evan DeLong on District 9's second leading rusher Zach Vroman.
The 10-0 Kane Wolves host the 6-4 Brookville Raiders on Friday night in a District 9 AA semifinal game. The records mean little, however, as the two teams have no common opponents in 2013. The winner of the game advances to next week's district finals, while the loser's season comes to a close.

When doing SEO on a website, once of your jobs is to figure out where you rank for certain keywords, which ones are potentially valuable and figure out strategies to get those mediocre keywords to rank higher in Google. For instance, let's say PocketFives ranked 13th for "poker forum" when you typed that into google. Logically, you'd think to yourself, well, P5s is a big poker forum, so it should be able to rank higher and 13th is pretty close, so why not try to do what you can to get it up into the top 10. On the other hand, P5s might rank 87th for "Paradise Poker Review" which isn't all that important anyway. And it would take a ton of effort to get up to the top 5, so why even bother. So basically, you figure out what is relatively easy to get higher, what actually makes sense within the theme of the site and how you can get it ranked higher using white-hat SEO methods such as optimized page construction and whatnot. Anyway, enough with the SEO lesson…
So I was looking at the P5s keywords today. What is one of the highest traffic google keywords for P5s? Actually, jailbait gallery and derivations of that word. Some examples: jailbait gallery, jailbait galleries, jailbait pics — They all deliver pretty significant traffic to P5s. Of course, the traffic isn't valuable in any way other than getting bigger hit numbers, but it's a pretty big keyword as it turns out. As you can see, P5s ranks top 10 or near it for all of those keywords. Of course, we won't be "working" on that keyword in any way, but it's still interesting to see what people are searching for and how people are getting to P5s via google.
I think I've posted about this before, but one of the biggest keywords on BLUFF is thong of the day.
I also know some poker sites who get a crap ton of traffic from their Shana Hiatt pictures. And lots of people have gotten a lot of traffic over the last few months from the Jennicide playboy pictures.
I guess all this really does is prove what people are searching for online. God bless the internet.

Leon McFadden is a kid who has tremendous awareness in zone coverage, one of the best I've seen in that area. Plays bump-and-run well in man coverage. Outstanding tackler.
You can't run bubble screens to his side of the field. He's going to beat the stalk block and tackle the receiver for almost no gain every time. Knows when to gamble and when not to based on safety help. Has some recovery speed when he finds himself out of phase... turns and plays the ball the way I like to see when in phase.
Long speed is the only question I have. How he runs is going to be important to me. He's got a lot to gain with me if he can run a decent time.

Punch Out
Punch Out
The Legend of Zelda
...and it's not even close for me.
Yeah, Zelda and Mario 3 were my two favorite games, even though the NES had some awesome games like RBI Baseball, Punch Out, etc.
Mario 2 and Zelda 2....I never understood them.
Still the best game I ever played was The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The first Zelda game on the Super Nintendo.
Now Super Nintendo, it'd either be Super Mario World, Link to the Past, Super Mario RPG....but my all-time favorite there was Earthbound.
Anyone ever play Star Tropics on the original Nintendo?
Might have. I was addicted to SMB3/Zelda/Vegas Dream usually.
KDog13, there wasnt a touchback on kickoffs, only on interceptions and punts.

New members are sought from the community to fill advisory board positions. Members are appointed to advisory boards by the Board of Commissioners and serve at the pleasure of the board. The appointment steps are outlined in Administrative Policy 203 and Procedure 203 A, Appointments to Advisory Boards and Committees. Staff and the county volunteer services coordinator are expected to ensure that vacant positions are filled in a timely manner with minimal impact to the work of the advisory board.
When a vacancy occurs, staff should notify the board of commissioners. The board chair sends a letter of recognition to the departing advisory board member for his or her service and the county volunteer services coordinator. Together they can decide on a strategy for filling the vacancy.
A news release will be sent to local media by the public information coordinator. Staff and the county volunteer coordinator may also choose to do some additional targeted recruiting for applicants with particular skills, interests, or geographic location needed by the position.
Applicants to the open advisory board position may be interviewed by the entire committee or a subcommittee. After the interview process, the advisory board ranks the applicants and makes a recommendation for appointment to the Board of Commissioners.
All advisory board appointments must be first presented in Board Session Agenda Planning. Either the county volunteer coordinator or staff may present the appointment(s) for board session review. An Agenda Review Packet must contain:1. The Agenda Review Form 2. A copy of the back side of all the applicants for the position3. A copy of the current membership for the advisory board4. An Order of Appointment (prepared by Legal Counsel)When the appointment is scheduled for Board Session, the appointee(s) are invited to attend. An invitation is sent with the time and place. Since attendance is not required, that is also noted in the invitation along with a contact number for confirming attendance.Presenting at Board Session entails staff and appointee(s) introducing themselves. Staff then presents some background on the appointment and appointee. The appointee may choose to say a few words. The commissioners may ask questions of or make comments to the appointee. Then the Order of Appointment is approved.The Board of Commissioners office sends each appointee a letter of congratulations, a copy of the Order of Appointment, an Orientation Manual for Advisory Board Members, and a copy of A Quick Reference Guide to Oregon's Public Meetings Law.Staff should make contact with the new appointee immediately following Board Session and make sure that the meeting information is clear and that the new appointee's questions have been answered.

Western Hydrogen achieves pilot production of MSG-based hydrogen
12:03 PM MDT | September 30, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Western Hydrogen (Calgary, AB) says it has reached a major milestone in the piloting of an innovative hydrogen production technology, molten salt gasification (MSG). The first production of hydrogen was achieved from the company's pilot plant at Fort Saskatchewan, AB, on 5 September, the company says. Western Hydrogen achieved the milestone in cooperation with the Idaho National Laboratory (INL; Idaho Falls), Aux Sable Canada (Calgary, AB), and Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC; Ottawa, ON). After testing on a range of fossil fuels, the MSG pilot...

For Nicole, a 19-year-old from New York City, life revolves around her addiction -- she eats deodorant, about a half a stick a day.
"When I wake up in the morning, I want deodorant; after each meal, I eat deodorant; when I get stressed out, I eat deodorant; in the middle of the night when I wake up out of a sleep, I want deodorant," Nicole said on a popular TLC show that aired recently, "My Strange Addiction."
Nicole said that she first started eating deodorant when she was 4 years old, but the habit escalated two years ago into a full-blown addiction.
She takes the cap, scoops a solid, waxy taste from the deodorant stick, and swallows it. She said she prefers certain "rich-tasting" brands over others.
Recently, Nicole discovered that she also likes deodorant spray. "The residue doesn't get stuck on my teeth and it absorbs into my mouth really fast," she said. "The first time my mouth got really numb, but I like the taste."
Nicole did not want to speak to press about her craving for deodorant, but there have clearly been health consequences, including stomach cramps, and her doctor has expressed concerns.
"It gets really sore and my mouth gets really dry," she says on the show. "But at the same time my mouth is watering because I am craving it. I take deodorant everywhere I go."

Prestige Auto Center
As a vehicle owner, the safety of your family and friends all depends on the choices you make. That's why I'd like to make you aware of your car's Energy Management System or EMS. It's a comprehensive safety system that automakers carefully designed into your vehicle to better protect you and your family at the moment of impact in an accident. The EMS is what causes the hood to buckle instead of slicing through the windshield in a front end crash; and it's also what keeps the engine from joining you in the front seat. It's your car's EMS that diverts the energy in a front, back or side crash…away from the passenger compartment rather than through it. So don't let anyone ever talk you into cheap or inferior collision repairs. Because in a crash the Energy Management System must work perfectly in less than a heartbeat. There is no rehearsal…there is no second chance. That's why our skilled and certified technicians use only Original Equipment Parts… parts made by the manufacturer of your car, for your car… when repairing your collision damaged vehicle. And all our work is Guaranteed For Life So make the safest choice for you and your family. We're proud to be the leader in consumer safety and trust.

St. Catharines -- Rise Above Bakery and Cafe
Thanks to another thread started by ylsf, DH and I made our way here for lunch today since we were in the area. This is a really charming spot -- high ceilings with painted tin ceilings, exposed brick wall. All the offerings are vegan, and both DH and I really enjoyed our lunches. He had the grilled "cheese", served with a cup of tasty lentil soup and a fresh, crisp salad. The grilled cheese, despite being made with soy cheese, was one of the better versions I've had in a long time, thanks primarily to the truly awesome homemade bread it was made with. I had the chili and cheese enchilada. Turns out it was really a grilled burrito and not an enchilada, but it was still quite tasty and very hearty. Also served with that simple salad (crisp romaine, some radicchio, oil and vinegar). Very nice.
The real treat were the doughnuts and baked goods. Really gorgeous stuff. The donuts had all sorts of fun, fabulous flavours. I had a chocolate glazed with coconut -- it tasted like a good yeast doughnut topped with a Mounds bar. I also picked up a cookies and cream doughnut, a cinnamon bun bread pudding and a mini cherry pie.
If you're ever in St. Catharine's, drop in and give these guys some love. In Toronto, Sadie's Diner carries some of their doughnuts and baked goods.

St. Catharines
Thanks for the tip. Dropped by Rise Above yesterday while we were in St Catherines and had a lovely lunch there. The chipotle red pepper tomato soup was fantastic and the cucumber strawberry salad with spiced nuts was refreshing. The chick pea curry was bland unfortunately, too mild and uninteresting. So we indulged in dessert instead. The cookies and cream donut was delicious as was the cinnamon bun. We enjoyed them so much, we brought home a box for later ;-)0

This story has been updated 3:15 p.m., April 11, 2013.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Maryland has again stepped in to defend a Montgomery County student who refused to stand during the Pledge of Allegiance.
Enidris Siurano-Rodriguez, a sophomore at Damascus High School, should not have been sent to the principal's office and "harassed" in February after "sitting quietly" during the Pledge, David Rocah, a staff attorney for the local ACLU wrote in a letter Tuesday to Montgomery County Public Schools Superintendent Joshua P. Starr, Board of Education President Christopher S. Barclay and Damascus High Principal Robert Domergue.
"It started mid-February in my honors biology class," Enidris said adding that she has not stood for the Pledge since she was in seventh grade. "The first semester teacher did not say anything, but the second semester teacher, [Deanna Jennings] did."
Enidris said that when the teacher would ask her to stand she did because she thought she had to respect her, but, later when she learned her rights she realized the teacher had to respect her too and that is when Enidris said the harassment began.
Ironically, it was in her advanced placement government class that Enidris realized that her other teacher was violating her civil rights, she said.
She said she absolutely didn't expect the situation to get as far as the teachers harassing her by telling her that if she did not stand, she would have to leave the class during the Pledge and being sent to Vice Principal Karen Rose, who agreed with the teacher and called Enidris' mother, Sandra Rodriguez, telling her that Enidris would be removed from the class if she continued to sit during the Pledge.
"I'm proud of her because she is not afraid to say what she believes in," Rodriguez said. "Not only that but she is supporting it with facts."
Previous court rulings have made it clear that the First Amendment protects students who do not want to participate in the Pledge due to their political or religious beliefs, the letter explained.
In 1943, the United States Supreme Court found in West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette that civil liberties protects students from being forced to salute the American flag and say the Pledge of Allegiance in school.
Montgomery County Public Schools' policy also affirms the right of students to refuse to participate in the Pledge.
"Our schools do start each day with the Pledge of Allegiance but students are not required to stand or participate," Dana Tofig, MCPS spokesman wrote in an email to The Gazette.
Tofig also wrote that he is not aware that there is any training for teachers or administrators to address the issue.
Damascus principal Robert Domergue referred calls to Tofig. Jennings said in a phone call Thursday that she had no comment.
"The procedures are very straight-forward: If a student does not want to participate in the Pledge, they do not have to and cannot be compelled to do so," Tofig wrote.
This is not the first time that the ACLU has contacted the school system about this issue, and because of that the ACLU asked in its letter to meet with school officials to review what the school system can do to make sure that all teachers and principals are aware of the students' rights.
The letter also requested that the school system offer a formal apology to Enidris and her family.
"The actions taken to date have not been effective, and are not sufficient," Rocah wrote.
Enidris, whose family is from Puerto Rico, explained to school administration that she has sat in her seat each morning during the Pledge since seventh grade because she believes "the United States government imposes conditions on Puerto Rico, due to its status as a territory, that she views as undemocratic," according to the ACLU's letter.
Her first period teacher, another teacher and the school's assistant principal all told Enidris that she had to participate despite her beliefs, the letter states.
The last case of this issue the ACLU defended in Montgomery County was in 2010 when a teacher sent a Roberto Clemente Middle School student who refused to participate in the Pledge to the principal's office, escorted by school security officers.
In a press release dated April 9, the ACLU of Maryland said the organization has received five complaints since 2008 from MCPS students in different schools who were harassed for not reciting the Pledge.
"Indeed, over the last decade we have received more complaints about this issue from Montgomery County than any other jurisdiction in the state," the release states.
"I would absolutely like an apology not just for me but for all the students that this happens to," Enidris said. "I definitely feel the policy should be implemented better, teachers should know what the policy is."

An Austrian Adventure: Travels through Burgenland
Burgenland is not the Austria you have in mind. Maria von Trapp will not be traipsing over a mountain range. Nor will you find a gaggle of twentysomethings dressed in lederhosen while devouring Sachertorte.
Instead, you may find yourself as I did, standing in the middle of a 36-acre field with Erich Stekovics, "the Emperor of Tomatoes," while he spins tales of the precocious Bianca or the Fuzzy Cherokee with its pink exterior and olive green flesh. I stumbled through the vines with Stekovics for more than two hours, at one point looking down to discover that I was covered in juice and seeds, as if I'd had an altercation with a pitching machine filled with tomatoes rather than baseballs.
It's messy, this tomato thing. But it illustrates the Burgenland people's deep connection to the terroir and natural beauty of the region. I was on an eastern Austrian adventure, and if staying hydrated in the scorching sun by devouring handfuls of juicy heirloom tomatoes was any indication, this was going to be quite a trip.
Natural Wonder
Burgenland is Austria's easternmost state, bordering Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia. Its 280,000 inhabitants enjoy 300 days of sunshine a year, which makes for great agriculture, including a wine industry that is thriving partly because of early support from the European Union, which matched funds for viticulture development.
Dotted along the flat countryside you'll find accommodations ranging from cottages to vineyard estates. Austria also has a rich cultural tradition in music and crafts, all of which can be explored in the small towns and villages that dot the countryside.
My first stop was St. Martins Spa & Lodge at Lake Neusiedl. Opened in 2009, the property respectfully showcases the area, which comprises a protected wildlife region that is home to 320 species, including birds, water buffalo and wild horses. St. Martins rises seamlessly out of the horizon.
"The combination of a spa, a lodge and this very specific kind of nature cannot be imitated," CEO Klaus M. Hofmann says. "The foundations for such a refuge are unique. Nature plays the leading role - in the area and in the St. Martins Spa & Lodge itself."
St. Martins' centerpiece is its thermal baths, which for centuries have offered healing and relaxation. The 109-degree mineral water is pumped from 2,800 feet below the surface, while the outdoor pool uses natural lake water. Signature spa treatments draw from their surroundings, including salt, grapes, sparkling wine and pomace. After soaking and swimming in the various pools, I felt invigorated and ready to explore the nearby national park.
The Neusiedler See National Park is a collaborative conservation project more than 80 years in the making. The first wetlands were put under protection in 1926, and further laws and agreements have been implemented. The park now belongs to nearly 1,200 property owners, primarily local part-time farmers who have agreed to discontinue working a portion of their land in exchange for an annual indemnity.
Educational and recreational opportunities abound, from walking and biking paths to observation points and stables. I ventured out with a small group, accompanied by a park ranger and plenty of high-powered telescopes and binoculars. We planted ourselves in a gazebo overlooking one of the reed patches and waited. For what, I wasn't sure. There were plenty of ducks, and I may have seen a purple heron ... or was that a spoonbill?
I looked back and saw not one of the famous white donkeys or Hungarian gray cattle that I had read about in the brochure, but one of our own - propped up against a bale of hay for an afternoon nap. She had wandered off after receiving what she perceived to be an inadequate answer to "What are we doing here?" The answer was nothing. And everything. It was a picture-perfect afternoon for a city dweller like myself, more accustomed to crowded sidewalks than wispy footpaths.

Recycling Your Electronics
Finding new, green uses for your old gear
Chris Egner is a former writer for Crutchfield. She concentrated on point-and-shoot cameras and speakers while she worked here.
More from Chris Egner
Upgrading your home theater with a gorgeous flat-panel HDTV or treating yourself to a new car stereo is a ton of fun. But what happens to your old gear when you no longer want it?
One dilemma we face as a high-tech society trying to protect our fragile planet is what to do with electronic waste. Discarded electronic devices contain potentially toxic elements like lead and mercury, which can leach from a landfill, seep into groundwater, and end up doing us harm. Not to mention that the mountains of glass, plastic, and metal only grow taller with each TV and computer we drop off at the dump.
In this article, we'll suggest some eco-friendly alternatives to throwing your old gear away. We'll also point you towards some helpful resources, like organizations that actually want your cast-off electronics. And we'll link you to some websites that can help you with electronics recycling, or "eCycling."
|Getting a new TV? Read on to find out what to do with your old one.
Re-use: find a new place or purpose for your old electronics
Your first option for dealing with old gear should be finding a way to re-use it. Extending the life of your electronic equipment conserves resources and keeps potentially dangerous components out of landfills.
Keep your gear in the family. If your new gear is simply replacing some older,but still functioning gear, you may still find a use for it at home.
|Recycling is just one option for getting rid of old gear. If it still works, why not find a way to re-use it?
Trade for something you want. Freecycle has a running list of free items that people in your area either want to give away or want to receive.
Give working gear to charity. Many charitable organizations accept donations of electronics, and in turn offer them to needy recipients. Some groups refurbish old equipment before they give it to people who can use it. And when you donate your old gear, remember to ask for a receipt — then use it for a deduction at tax time.
- Give electronics to charities like Goodwill or the Salvation Army.
- Sign up with a service like ExcessAccess.com that links donors of electronic equipment with needy recipients.
- Donate your old computer equipment to an organization that will redirect it to a school, like StRUT or the National Cristina Foundation.
Sell your gear. Local newspapers and bulletin boards are a great place to find buyers.
Turn your gear into a Crutchfield gift card. Crutchfield partners with CExchange (Consumer Electronics Exchange) to let you exchange unwanted electronics for our online gift certificates. It's simple to earn credit — click here to get an appraisal of your item's value, print out the prepaid mailing label, and send in your gear. You'll be reimbursed with a gift card that you can spend on new Crutchfield products.
|Recycling your old electronics helps keep toxins out of landfills.
Recycle: salvage valuable materials and help preserve the earth
Your second eco-friendly option for getting rid of old electronics is to recycle them. Even when you're sure your gear has reached the end of the road, it probably still holds some value. Many electronics contain recyclable materials — like glass, plastic, copper wiring, and precious metals — that can be used again. If you're unsure of where to recycle electronics locally, you can find lots of links and resources on EPA eCycling, the Environmental Protection Agency's site.
Make use of manufacturer recycling efforts. Many electronics manufacturers offer programs to make it easy for consumers to recycle. You can do a simple online search to learn about the eCycling policies of your favorite brands.
- Sony will accept any of its products at participating centers and recycle them for free. Samsung also provides this service, free of charge with Samsung electronics and for a nominal fee with non-Samsung products.
- Panasonic, Sharp Electronics, and Toshiba teamed up to form the Electronic Manufacturers Recycling Management Corporation, which holds electronics collection and recycling events around the country.
- Many computer manufacturers like Apple, Dell, and Hewlett-Packard have eCycling policies that help you turn in your unwanted computer equipment when you buy new gear.
Protect yourself from identity theft. Use caution when you donate, sell, or recycle your computer, cell phone, or any other electronic device that contains personal information, like credit card numbers and passwords. Erase your personal files first. In this age of identity theft, there are plenty of data destruction companies and free downloads dedicated to overwriting data on your hard drive. For secure recycling, donation or trade-in of your cell phone you may want to explore Recellular.
What are your ideas?
Hopefully, we've given you some good ideas for handling the electronic gear you no longer need. You can also read more about Crutchfield and the environment. And we'd love to hear your thoughts and tips on eCycling — write to us at email@example.com or leave a comment below.
