I didn't agree with princeton then, and I, doug and a few others posted our arguments without denigrating princeton. Keep in mind, I once had princeton on my ignore list. My opinion was he was a jackass. But in all that, he rarely attacked other posters. He mostly just came off pompous. But he was a knowledgeable poster, and one that wrote well. I miss his writings, like i missed M2, RedStorm and others. I'm glad M2 is back, especially since i am too. woy has always been a great read, and never attacks another poster, always his argument.
Because that is what discussion is.

In response to the LIKES....on another forum I frequent, we had the "like" feature, and the individual likes, were in smaller print, at the bottom of the liked posts post box, under the Like icon. Not in a separate post. It only listed a few, then say "and others".... I don't know what software or anything like that, just another suggestion, perhaps.

"Kiss Your Elbow" – A Kentucky Memoir
By Deanna O'Daniel
Is about growing up in Louisville, Kentucky and its surrounding areas during the Mid 20th Century
The book will be available on this website after Sept. 23rd.
Proud to be part of this peaceful, yet energetic and prosperous time after WWII, Deanna also relates the serious side of being a girl during this period. In large 'Boomer' families, the oldest girl was expected to be the 'other' mother. See how, at the age of twelve, she coped with being put in charge of the household, of eight siblings when her mother went to the hospital to have the ninth baby. Yes, young girls did those things back then, plus they had to suffer through wearing dresses all the time!
A wonderful chronicle of the way America lived during the Mid-20th-Century, when farmers were moving to the city and everybody had a job. Neighbors were not only helpful, but necessary. Children had important responsibilities as contributing members of the family – and they did them!
The title, "Kiss Your Elbow" is an old saying for trying to make the impossible happen. Of course, Deanna wanted to be a boy and experience the freedoms had by her seven brothers.
Brief Excerpt from the Book:
Once a year Mama and I made a fabulous trip to Louisville's only shopping area – 4th Street – to buy school clothes for the coming year. The whole experience was wonderful!
Shopping in Downtown Louisville:
Finally, all three of us were heavily burdened with bags of purchases. Luck was with us, and we finished in plenty of time before the last Blue Motor Coach bus back to Hikes Point at five o'clock. We had time to go into the higher-priced stores like Stewart's just to look around and see the nicer things. Stewart's had hired a beautiful model seated on a rope swing to swoop back and forth over the cosmetic counter. The ropes on the swing were covered with fresh flowers. Everything smelled really good. I was so moved that I wanted some cosmetics, but my brothers would tease me to death if they even knew I had a thought like this. Kaufman Strauss and Burdorff's had the best furniture. Byck's and Selman's had the prettiest gowns. For some reason Aunt Aurelia wanted to look at these.
"Oooo," Aunt Aurelia said, as she leafed through the rack of white ones, examining each one and pushing it along in order to see the next behind. I thought they looked like whipped cream, delicious and frothy enough to eat.
In Bacon's, I noticed the sound of the women's high heels changed from "thump, thump, thump," on the wooden floors as they entered on the Fourth Street side to, "click, click, click," they made as they struck the terrazzo floor when they exited on the Market Street side. This difference in the sound of the same shoes puzzled me.
Mama was patient with my desire to ride up and down the elevator in these expensive stores. She and Aunt Aurelia busied themselves at the cosmetics counter while I enjoyed the elevators. The attendant wore a smart uniform that looked something like that of a member of a marching band. Some of them were complete with brass buttons and shoulder fringes. He grabbed the big brass handle, pulled it down to the left, and the ratcheted door closed all of us inside. The ride tickled my tummy. Most of these operators were skillful enough to stop the elevator car completely level with the approaching floor. For others, it was a matter of lots of "jockeying" the brass handle back and forth. Then, our stomachs were jolted up and down. Some of the customers rudely complained out loud, but I was just happy for the ride. It almost felt like the Ferris wheel at Fontaine Ferry Park.
Besides stores and theaters, several elegant hotels were located up and down Fourth Street. I snuck peaks through the tall glass doors as we walked past them. The doormen were polite, always tipping their hat and saying, "Good afternoon, young lady." In my pretty polka-dot dress and Mary Jane shoes, they probably thought I was from the city.
I used my best manners and answered, "Fine, thank you, Sir." They wore top hats, long-tailed suits, and white gloves. I begged Mama to let us take the time to go inside and see the lobbies of the Seelbach and the Brown Hotels. These two had the most handsomely dressed doormen. On the days had time to do this, Mama always chose the Brown because it was closer to our bus stop at Fourth and Broadway.
Having Aunt Aurelia along made our shopping go faster, and we ended our day by having iced tea in the Tea Room of the Brown Hotel. Just being inside there made me feel special. It was so elegant – my heart almost stopped when I saw the white lace tablecloths with linen napkins rolled into little silver rings. Each table had a crystal vase holding a fragrant pink rose. We felt a bit awkward with all our packages, but the waiter smiled at us and helped us arrange them under the table. I guess he could tell by our drawn faces that we were pooped!
All the waiters in the Brown's Tea Room were required to be Colored men. (Colored was the name that Black People preferred to be called in the mid-twentieth century. To have called them anything else would have been considered an insult.) They wore white cotton coats and gloves with dark pants. Swift and skillful, they were able to carry food around all day on huge trays and never get their gloves dirty. They were very friendly and treated me like I was somebody who mattered. It helps when I dress up in my Sunday best, I thought, and wished the girls from school, who always teased me, could see me now here at the Brown.
Soon, it was time for the long bus ride back out to Hikes Point. We crossed Broadway for the bus stop in front of the Heyburn Building. Again, I was looking forward to the ride. We greeted John, who was still energetic enough to give us a big smile, as we climbed back up the steps of the bus. With all the stops and starts, it took about an hour to get home. This was plenty of time to rest our tired legs and sore feet.
I remembered to sit on the same side of the bus so I could see what I missed hours ago when we came into town. Aunt Aurelia chatted with Mama, but I got to meet some pretty interesting strangers. I didn't care as long as I got to have a window seat. No matter how tired the shoppers were, nobody ever slept on the bus. Sleeping in public places was considered common. Besides, everybody used bus travel as an opportunity to meet strangers and talk to friends and neighbors. People sat down and pushed their packages under their seats. Except for people like us, most people traveled light. The better stores home deliered anything you bought, even something as small as make-up.
The scene inside the bus was lively, chirping with conversation and bubbling with laughter from the exhausted, but contented shoppers. I didn't talk to the nice lady beside me because I was too busy concentrating on our trip back home, so she talked to the man across the aisle. I welcomed the sight of the brick mansions and stone churches that lined Broadway, many peeking out from their leafy lawns as the bus lurched ahead. It was kind of a sad good-bye to our adventure until next year.
About the Author
Always claiming that the best thing that ever happened to her was being born in the early 1940's, Deanna enjoyed growing up at this prosperous time in America's history. She was born in 1941, on a farm in Gethsemane, Kentucky. This was the same year as the famous intellectual, Thomas Merton, arrived at the monastery there, called the Abbey of Gethsemani. Interestingly enough, the house in which she was born is now the Thomas Merton Retreat Center. Her family was part of America's greatest migration – that of the farmers moving to the cities. Her father, being a consummate farmer, also wanted the security of a job in town. After a few side adventures, he bought a small farm on the edge of Louisville. Growing up in this situation gave Deanna a unique experience as a child.
Spending many hours doing monotonous farm chores, lead her to become creative and reflective. Reading and exploring the countryside at Hikes Point, then a rural area were her greatest joys. She started the hobby of writing as a way of passing time, as early as the fourth grade. But life interfered, as she went to college, taught school, got married and raised a family. She did not return to writing in a serious way until her mother's death in 2001, when she sixty years old.
Being just a few years older that the Boomer Generation, she was able to take advantage of a teaching scholarship program designed to relieve the burden of the huge class sizes in the `60's. "This was the best thing that ever happened to me," she said, obviously appreciating the opportunity for higher education.
Deanna taught school for almost thirty years between 1961 and 1997. Although she loved teaching, she tried other careers during the summer breaks in order to explore more of the world. She became a bank teller, an accounts payable clerk, a real estate agent, and a motivational therapist. She is now a counselor in mind and body therapies, and owns a company called SelfSeek Spiritual Center. Here she works to help clients better their lives by releasing addictive behaviors that stand in the way of personal fulfillment. She leads retreats, teaches yoga, meditation and guided visualization.
Loving writing, Deanna intends to make Kiss Your Elbow, – A Kentucky Memoir the first of several novels dealing with the experiences and emotions of the people in her generation. Besides writing, she enjoys painting with water colors, playing her dulcimer, spending time with her children, and being a grandmother.

Our Daily Correspondent
Trouble-ProofBy Sadie Stein
Is there a song about city life more evocative than "Up on the Roof," the Drifters' 1963 hit? In 1980, The Illustrated History of Rock and Roll said, "From the internal rhyme of 'stairs' and 'cares' to the image of ascending from the street to the stars by way of an apartment staircase, it's first-rate, sophisticated writing." All true, but the appeal is emotional, visceral, too.
Many years ago, I used to occasionally babysit for a little boy who sported a diaper until an advanced age. When he had to go to the bathroom, he would scream, "PRIVACY!" and everyone would have to vacate whatever room he was in.
That was weird, in retrospect. But I sort of envy him it—not the diaper, but the ability to magically invoke solitude. Maybe I am extra aware of it because I am currently visiting with my parents, and they have a tendency to shout to each other between floors, and I have a tendency to regress, and suddenly, just as when I was a teenager, all I want is to have some space of my own, where I can read, and think, in private.

Wake Up Tucson
A radio show about Arizona and National Issues.
Over the past 6 years hosting the morning drive show, the hosts have built a loyal audience through great content, a mix of fun and serious interviews told with razar sharp wit and dripping in sarcasm. The guys talk how the sausage gets made politically at a local and national level. They channel a little Jon Stewart, mixed with Dennis Miller's pop culture references and William Brinkley's political leaning.
Wake Up Tucson is listened to daily from 6am to 8am on KVOI 1030am. Our listeners are average citizens, small business owners, elected officials, government bureaucrats, executives, key decision makers and people just like you!
Politics Suck….Let's Talk About It!
A podcast that tackles the big issue of a broken political system in America.
Want to deep dive into national politics? This is the show for you. The hosts, Chris DeSimone and Joe Higgins tackle the issues of the week. Tune if for the big fat discussions on political, social, economic and pop culture. Discuss the topics that affect the direction of America, your family, your career and our collective future. The guys are to the right politically, lean libertarian on many social issues and can take both parties to task if they need it, and boy do they need it. The hosts are fighting to make Main Street America strong again. Forget about EPA, IRS, FDA, ACA, VA, and all the other alphabet soup government agencies that suck up all the attention in the USA, what about Main Street? Who's fighting for the dry cleaner and bakery down the street? Who's looking out small businesses, the working families and people like you?
The podcast format gives the guys a chance to dive deeper into the issues than their morning drive time show. You'll hear guests that can spend the time to tell their story. Clips from the weekly radio show will be played on the podcast and interview excerpts will be played from the podcast to the local Tucson radio audience.
Subscribe to the podcast through iTunes, Stitcher, Zune or many other services. You'll laugh, you'll agree, you'll get angry and most importantly…you'll learn something in every episode.

Hello, so many many years ago I spent countless hours playing FFXI, loved it. I have not played a mmo type game since I quit playing that after 2-3 years. Wanted to know from those who played XIV, or tested the new version thats about to come out, how they compare to the old game. I just finally bought a high end gaming pc, in hopes that when this is re-released I can give it a go again. I played before on the ps2, and then pc. Just wondering if its still kinda the same deal, linkshells, partys, grinding lvls, auction house? Cause to this day I still miss playing FFXI from time to time, and some of the friends I made during my time there. Never got into WoW or anything else, so I am sure it will take me some time to pick back up. Anyone who used to be on Unicorn, hello!

Sit on ItBy Charlotte Druckman
The Friday night before last, on an otherwise abandoned block in Gowanus, I spied a young man and woman; she was carefully carrying a plastic bag that contained a boxy package. "Are you here for the sploshing?" I asked. They were. I followed them to their destination—Trestle Gallery, a nonprofit art organization affiliated with Brooklyn Art Space, on the first floor of a building that once housed factories. Was it their first time sploshing? I wanted to know. It was. And me, would I be participating, too? No. I was only there to watch.
I'd learned of artist Martha Burgess's "Cake Sit" a few months prior, over dinner at Omen, the serene, Zen-like Japanese restaurant on Thompson Street. The novelist Monique Truong, whose Book of Salt I often cite as one of the best examples of food writing, turned to me and asked, with wide-eyed excitement, "Have you heard of cake splooshing?!"
Although I spend an inordinate amount of time writing, thinking, and talking about cake, to say nothing of eating it, this splooshing, as Truong called it, was new to me. People, she explained, sit on cakes and get off on it. Read More

Brevard Comeback Falls ShortJanuary 9, 2013
Salisbury, N.C- The Brevard College men's basketball team erased a 10-point halftime deficit with a strong start to the second half, but eventually dropped a 71-69 contest to the Catawba College Indians in Goodman Gym on Wednesday night.
A Manzey Miller layup with eight seconds left in the game brought BC within a point at 70-69 before the Tornados were forced to foul on the ensuing inbound play to stop the clock. Catawba's Nick Houston made one-of-two free throws to make it a 71-69 game with just under five seconds remaining.
The Tornados called a timeout to draw up the final shot, but a Gerel Simmons three-point attempt for the win narrowly missed as time expired.
The Tornados went into halftime down 44-34, but roared out of the break on a 14-4 run to tie the game at 48-48. Freshman Matt Ward capped off the 22-9 run with a jumper to give the Tornados their largest lead of the game at 56-53.
Catawba tied the game at 56-56 with a three-pointer on their next possession with 9:18 remaining in the game. The two teams exchanged several leads as the second half wore on, but Catawba's Tyrece Little gave the Indians a two-point lead they didn't relinquish on a fast break at 4:15.
Ward led the Tornados offensive charge with 17 points while shooting 7-for-11 from the field, including 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. Dominique Pickett and Miller also finished in double figures for BC, dropping 14 and 13 respectively.
The Tornados are back in action as they host the Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne on Saturday, January 12th. The tip is set for 4 p.m.

The New School
Barney Frank on Military Spending and Reducing the Federal Budget
The Center for Public Scholarship is delighted to bring Barney Frank to The New School for our fourth Public Voices lecture.
Barney Frank recently retired from over 30 years in Congress (1981-2013) where he became Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee (2007-2011). As chair, Frank was instrumental in crafting a compromise bill to stem the tide of home mortgage foreclosures, as well as the subsequent $550 billion rescue plan. He was co-author of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and led the passage of the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights Act. In 1987, Frank became the first member of Congress to voluntarily come out as openly gay, and in 2012 he married his longtime partner Jim Ready, becoming the nation's first congressman to enter into a same-sex marriage while in office.
A major focus in lectures since leaving office, Barney Frank discusses why military spending can and must be reduced if we are to bring down the Federal deficit in a socially responsible way.Barney Frank will be joined for discussion by Robert Pollin, Professor of Economics and Co-Director of the Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Pollin is a co-author of a recent report exposing significant faults in the 2010 Harvard research justifying austerity policies. (Ph.D., New School for Social Research, 1982).

Last year in Tahiti wildcards reigned a la Manoa Drollet vs. Bruno Santos in the final. When the third event for the ASP World Tour year gets underway this Saturday, May 9th, will it be more of the same at Teahupo'o? Or will the top seeds in the world assert their dominance?
The top five is currently sitting like this: Joel Parkinson number one, with his mate Mick Fanning in second, Fredrick Patacchia in third, Jordy Smith in fourth, and C.J. Hobgood in fifth. Parko is looking to stay on a roll with these two wins he's racked up, but there's another guy who has some momentum in his corner going into a hollow left.
Fred Patacchia has to feel good going into the event ranked third. As a goofy-footed Hawaiian, he's no stranger to macking left barrels, plus he's fresh off his Lowers Pro win. While Lowers can't prepare him for Chopes, the win definitely gives him momentum. Look for him to be a big threat at Teahupo'o. Freddy P. lost last year in Round 2 to Luke Munro by fractions of a point, and in 2006 he was runner up to Bobby Martinez who also narrowly beat him.
Kelly Slater has lost to event wildcards twice this year and now faces stiff competition. Last year he went into Tahiti on a hot streak, but lost to Tahitian Manoa Drollet in Round 3 (Drollet also took down Joel Parkinson in the semifinals last year). Don't forget that Slater scored the first perfect heat score at Teahupo'o, with a broken foot, so don't count him out just yet. But he's gonna have to be battling some tough wildcards to pace higher than 17th again.
The list of trialists for this event reads like a who's who listing of some of the best freesurfers in the world: Bruce Irons, Andy Irons, Clay Marzo, Anthony Walsh, Kalani Chapman, Kamalei Alexander, Mark Healey, not to mention the best local Teahupoo riders who surf there day in and day out (watch out for youngster Tamaroa McComb). And don't forget about wildcard Andy Irons, former Billabong Pro winner (2002) and his world-class backside tube riding skills. We'll see whether his vacation from the tour will help or hurt his performance for this event.
Stay tuned for full coverage of the Billabong Pro on transworldsurf.com, as the brothers Cote are posting up in the channel at Teahupo'o ready to give you a backstage pass of Tahiti like you've never seen before. And make sure to chime in while the event is going on live so both Chris and Justin can bring you exactly what you want to see from one of the most death-defying lefts in the world.
Chris Cote (1/2)
Winner: Freddy P is on a roll and surfing the best he ever has. He's been close to the cup at Teahupo'o before, so this year could be his year to take the trophy. Slater is like a rabid dog backed up into a corner, he will no doubt be attacking every wave and every tube like a wild animal hell bent on eating and clawing everybody in his way—if Slater doesn't win Teahupo'o, he'll most likely take a few of the next events off.
Best Rookie Performance: Bourez is the easy pick, but it will be rad to see Barca follow in the footsteps of Bruce and Andy with some hands-free backside death tubes.
Shocker: A wildcard will win and his last name will be Irons.
Casey Koteen (0/2)
Winner: Damien Hobgood. CJ's on a roll, but Damo's not far behind and looks hungry.
Best Rookie Performance: Everyone is gonna say Bourez, so I'll go with Kekoa Bacalso. He's the highest rated rookie going in, and is well prepared to pig dog square lefts.
Shocker: In his first heat Josh Kerr will do a rodeo over the inside reef and land in the lagoon, but the judges will only give him a six and he'll lose.
Aaron Checkwood (0/2)
Winner: CJ Hobgood…he's ready.
Best Rookie Performance: Michel Bourez with his homefield advantage.
Shocker: Bad shocker-Bede, hard year so far gets worse…Good shocker-Kerr, remember his performance in Hawaii last winter? He's underestimated in waves like this.
Justin Cote (1/2)
Winner: Kelly Slater is going to win. Guaranteed.
Best Rookie Performance: Michel Bourez will have a lot of pressure on his shoulders but will handle it just fine.
Shocker: Sorry Parko, but don't worry, there's some more rights coming up soon…
Carl Steindler (0/2)
Winner: A wildcard won it last year and its gonna happen again this year…AI is gonna dominate. Re-energized and ready to take scalps! Unlike previous years, this year he has nothing to lose.
Best Rookie Performance: Michel Bourez. Home turf, home cooking, local cheering gallery, superb spot knowledge = best rookie performer
Shocker: Justin Cote…we've all seen his sick Chopes video and now that he's engaged he's super focused and more ready than ever. For real though, I'm gonna go with Dustin Barca. He will at least make the semis because he excels in waves like this, is lethal on his backhand, and knows he needs to post a good result.
Ryan Brower (0/2)
Winner: CJ Hobgood is sitting at 5th, and having won the event in 2004, he knows what it takes to win in Tahiti.
Best Rookie Performance: Obviously Michel Bourez is going to be showcasing his world-class talent at home. But don't forget about Dustin Barca and Kekoa Bacalso, these two Hawaiian rookies know how to surf powerful lefts.
Shocker: Parko and Slater both going down early. Expect Barca, Bourez, AI, or Freddy P to be battling it out in the final with Ceej. Just depends on the luck of the draw.
Nick Jiampa (0/2)
Winner: Parko: Nobody's more on fire than Parko right now, he's finally getting the results that people expect from him and his momentum will lead to a good result.
Best Rookie Performance: Kekoa Bacalso: He should be pretty comfortable in Tahiti because its power suits his upbringing in Hawaiian waves.
Shocker: Jordy: He surfs well enough to take anyone out and isn't afraid of getting barreled.
Let us know below who your picks are and what you think of our picks.

Theater Auditions - ARMS AND THE MAN by Shaw
When Monday January 21, 2013 @ 6:00 PM (1646 days ago)
Where University Commons, MainStage Theater
Duration 4 hours
Be a part of EMU Theater's Spring Production of the classic anti-war comedy Arms and the Man by George Bernard Shaw.
As a young lady awaits the return of her heroic fiancé from war, a disheveled soldier sneaks into her bedroom fleeing the fight. Finding his simplicity more alluring than her fiancé's arrogant posturing, she's faced with singling out the real man for her. Will it be the "accidental hero†who is more toy than soldier? Or the pragmatic "coward†who comes armed with chocolates instead of bullets? Crackling with wit, irony and charm, Shaw's romantic comedy pokes fun at the dangers of bravado in battle and idealistic notions of love.
This play is directed by Guest Director Andrea Andresakis. Her work on this production is partially funded by a grant from the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society. Andrea is a freelance professional director based in New York City.
Auditions will be Monday, January 21 beginning at 6pm and Tuesday, January 22nd from 5-7pm in the MainStage Theater.
- Auditions are open to all EMU students. Read the script online at http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3618.
- Sign up for an audition time in the Arts Suite in the University Commons or come to auditions to claim a time.
- Prepared monologues are welcome and there will be readings available at auditions. The director says "I like to see something that they've memorized, which they can commit to emotionally (even if it's 3 sentences of a poem or newspaper article)." A favorite Bible verse is a good option.
- If you have any questions, please email them to .
- Callbacks will be held Tuesday, Jan. 22nd beginning at 8pm.
- Rehearsals will begin Monday, February 11th.
- Show opens March 22nd and closes April 6th.

The PHX Sky Train™ has been selected for a top honor in the prestigious Arizona Forward Environmental Excellence Awards, receiving the first-place Crescordia award in the Multi-modal Transportation & Connectivity category. In addition, a public art project featured on one of the PHX Sky Train™ pedestrian bridges received special recognition.
Arizona Forward, in partnership with SRP, presented the 33rd Annual Valley Forward Environmental Excellence Awards on Saturday September 14. Considered the "Academy Awards" of the environmental community, the event is the oldest competition of its kind in Arizona. This year, there were more than 100 entries.
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport's PHX Sky Train™ provides a connection between Valley Metro light rail, East Economy Parking and Terminal 4, which serves 80 percent of the Airport's passengers. The project was recognized for providing a vital transit link to the Phoenix area, alleviating roadway congestion and enhancing customer service. The PHX Sky Train™ project reduces vehicular traffic and emissions, energy consumption and water use. It attained LEED Gold certification from the US Green Building Council.
"The PHX Sky Train™ is a shining example of what we can accomplish when we work to improve our transportation system in a way that improves the air we breathe and reduces the water we use," said Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton. "Phoenix will continue to reduce our energy consumption through green construction and energy efficient facilities."
The stunning glass mural project incorporated into the walls of the walkways between Terminal 4 and the PHX Sky Train station™ was also recognized. Artist Daniel Mayer, glass fabricator Franz Mayer, glass installers Walters and Wolf and the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture were honored with an Award of Merit in the Art in Public Places category.
"We are humbled by this recognition," said Phoenix Aviation Director, Danny Murphy. "We owe the success of this project to our employees city-wide and to our business partners who put in countless hours of work to ensure a world-class experience for our customers on the PHX Sky Train.™"
Mr. Murphy thanked the Phoenix Aviation Department's many partners in the project, including: Bombardier Transportation, Gannett Fleming, HOK, Fore Dimensions, Hensel Phelps, Kimley Horn & Associates, MEP Engineer, Dinter Engineering and Advance Terrazzo.

Greeley Artist's Work Chosen for Dept. of Agriculture Directory
Nanci Avery, Graphic Artist for the City of Greeley's Culture, Parks, and Recreation Department (CPRD), has done it again. Nanci's most recent contest entry for the Colorado Department of Agriculture's "Farm Fresh Directory" was chosen as the winner for this year's cover. As the winner, her artwork is featured on this year's 30th Anniversary edition of the directory. The design includes an artful montage of appetizingly fresh fruits, veggies, and a fine feathered friend all joined together with the creative twist only a gifted graphic artist can deliver.
Photo Credit: City of Greeley
Nanci has received many awards in the past, including "Best Use of Color in an Advertisement" in 2005 from the Society of Professional Journalism, and The Graphic Design USA Publication Design Awards in both 2006 & 2013. From the start of her graphic art career to date she received between 10 and 15 awards for various contests.
Nanci enjoys anything that involves painting but is also fond of creating prints on fancy paper and other glossy projects. Her degree in Graphic Art initially became a part of her life as something to keep her busy and become an enjoyable career. The competitions are fun for her to enter but she also appreciates the monetary benefits that come along with winning. Nanci says "The hardest part about entering competitions is finding them and finding time to do them."
Most of the artwork and designs that advertise CPRD programs are created by Nanci. This includes publications such as the cover of the quarterly Recreation Connection magazine, the Union Colony Civic Center season brochure, and the Annual Greeley Arts Picnic printed program. She has designed educational nature signs at the City's newest park, Homestead Park, and continues to produce countless posters and fliers among other artistic creations for the Department. Nanci is valued as a talented city employee by the CPRD.
Her next freelance competition will be painting artwork for a state wildlife stamp.

MariusPetrus is a new menswear label led by designer Marius Op't Eynde. After graduating in 2011 from Artez Hogeschool voor de kunsten in Arnhem, Eynde went on to complete successful internships at Alexander McQueen and Raf Simons. Focusing now on his own label, MariusPetrus brings strong, bold and dominant collections featuring architectural prints teamed effortlessly with tailored elements, sportswear and classic men's heritage pieces. High quality materials and a focus on finishing and details are key to his designs, working with fully in house designed prints and a palette of deep blacks and crisp whites creates a monochrome base on which to build.
Referencing Hitchcock's classic 1950s movie 'North by Northwest', MariusPetrus' SS16 collection takes cues from Americana blending vintage sports influences with signature MariusPetrus contemporariness. Based on the iconic plane pursuit scene through the cornfields, this season's prints feature bold, monochromatic corn formations. Hooded jackets with utilitarian details and exaggerated pocketing are realised in staple navys and indigos alongside a collection of neutrals and blacks. Wide leg pants, oversized shorts and flat-collared shirts are paired with slim cropped selvedge denims reminiscent of 50s workwear whilst high-tech waterproof jackets and structured T-shirts uphold MariusPetrus' iconic technical aesthetic.

Great tractor, plenty of power, box blade, pasture clipping, post hole digging, pulling logs, disking it doesnt matter great machine would buy again in a heart beat. Liberty tractor does a great job of explaining the tractor features and making sure the customer is happy. I have let one other person on it and they are ready to get a MAHINDRA too..
The Tractor has performed flawlessly. I have put my 4110 with the front loader in some tough situations that most would not consider putting their tractor into. The tractor has never let me down. I compared the 4110 to the JD990 and Kubota before I purchased. I have been very satisfied with my choice. I purchased my tractor with Agricultural tires for more grip and traction(I would still recommend the ag tires over the industrial tires). If you plan to do any plowing, digging or go into any wet area you will definitly need to use 4wd with industrial tires. I know 2 people which bought 4110s with ind. tires and 3 people that bought 3510s with ind. tires. They all have to use 4wd to do any plowing or digging. Regardless of which tires you choose, the 4110 and 3510 tractors will meet or exceed all of your expectations. I would like to have a dealer that could sell caps, jackets, key chains, filters and maybe parts/repair manuals ect. in case you want to perform some maintainance yourself someday.
As a landscape contractor, I operated many different brands of compact utility tractors. Back then, there was no Mahindra dealer in my area, and the brand was unheard of around these parts. When I retired, I decided I needed to own a tractor to manage my ten rugged acres.
I had tested Kubota, too small for the money, John Deere, too much money for the HP I needed, and New Holland, not enough tractor for the money. I
I had become discouraged and decided a new tractor was not to be had. Until, one day on my way home from town, I noticed a local dealer was lining up a row of shiny red tractors. Previously they were not visible from the highway, and went unnoticed.
That was the day my search was rewarded, and the unexpected surprise reached out and grabbed my attention. I was so pleased to find a HST tractor with such a heavy duty frame, power steering, infinite speed, three range transmission, great ergonomics, and at a very competitive price; with great financing rates.
At 275 hours, I have absolutely no regrets, and would recommend the 15 series to anyone wanting a superior tractor, with no flaws.
Great tractor. I have owned for over a year now and it has done everything that I have asked it to. Idle was a little low and was causing charging problems, but after adjustment it works just fine. Other than that, there have been zero issues with this tractor. Easy maintenance and operation with every lever and switch clearly marked. Easily towed behind a 2004 Dodge Ram 1/2 ton truck. If it had a 2-stage clutch, it would be almost perfect, but the built in overrun clutch is almost as good.
Bought new in october 2007. Also bought it with the front end loader and backhoe. So far it has performed flawlessly and is quite fun to operate. The backhoe is a little weak but it still gets the job done. The price was right as well. Very satisfied.
I bought my tractor Sep06 and use it almost on a daily basis. This tractor is worth every $. The weight, the performance, lifting capacity etc. everything you need or looking for is in this tractor. It is funny, but I also named my tractor "Tank" and believe me this is no understatement. I use the tractor on a farm with 43 acres and since I had the reactor I had no problem what so ever.
I bought my 4530 4WD with a loader, and the only minus point is that the loader if operated in cold conditions (0F) is a little bit stubborn. It could be that the hydraulic oil is the wrong type for this kind of temperatures.
But all in all I can recommend this tractor to anybody. Be aware this is not a "SISY" tractor; it is a "Tank"
I researched tractors for six months before I bought my 5520(4wd). I looked at Green, Blue, Orange, and several other colors. I feel that you can spend more money if you want, but you will not find a better tractor.
I have done and used alot of other tractors at this size. they don't match up to the things that you can do with this tractor.I have hauled hay,feed cows,horses,and cleared wooded areas off with it. the 6500 4wd is the stoutest and heaviest in its class
i like to have a hat but you do notget a hat went you buy
in 2005y a new tractor
Assisted in building a house. Great at back filling foundation. Discing ground. Rotary cutting 10 acres. Keeping drive in good shape with box blade. Front end loader is great.


text: Feb 9 11:00 AM CT By Calvin Watkins | ESPNDallas.com Forbes released America's Most Disliked Athletes this past week, and I was surprised to see Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo on the list. Romo is 10th. The interesting thing about Romo is his off-the-field antics have been nothing to worry about. He plays soccer and basketball in the offseason, has had a few celebrity girlfriends, visited Cabo during the bye week of the playoffs in 2007, and last year donated $1 million to Dr. Tony Evans' Urban Alternative to help raise money for a national Church Adopt-A-School initiative. He's never been in trouble with the law. Never been popped for PEDs. He's played in pain and challenges his teammates in private and in public settings. So why the hate? Romo plays for America's Team, the Dallas Cowboys, and with that comes expectations. Since becoming the starter in 2006, Romo has won one playoff game and is 1-6 in win-or-go-home games. Read the rest: http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/cowboys/post/_/id/4705605/the-hate-for-tony-romo

Wow, they managed to make it even worse!
I commend Jeremy, et al, for being able to do this all on their own, but I think now that the site is popular, they need to get someone where Information Archetecture and Design are their background to re-design geocaching.com.
IMHO, for new users, they've made it more confusing, and for long-term users, they've made it harder to get the information you need.

I can get used to the new search for the most part. The only thing that really bugs me about it is the fact that your OWN caches show up just like any other cache you haven't been to and are no longer listed as caches you have placed. On the other hand the site is a lot faster and the advanced search with type filters is nice. I'm just waiting for that new cache map!

yup -- just this morning I was thinking of sneaking out and doing a few before the kidlets got up. I don't think I like this too much, especially since they combine caches found, caches placed, etc all on the same page.
I can see how it might be slightly easier for those who download the waypoints onto their PDA (but I don't)....... guess I will have to play around a bit and get used to it. I also notice they decided to colorize most of the links -- could choose some better colors. I agree with E, bring back a decent map program!
One new feature I
like is when you click to "log a cache" it tells what account you are logged in as at the upper right corner -- very nice, especially if your teenage son has been playing on his account and forgot to log out
Saves mom from clicking numerous delte buttons after logging a days worth of caches.

I have not done much looking around the new design yet but I a few things I noticed.
In the Search area
1)Found caches in with unfound caches. The only difference is a "X" in the left side and your time since found in the right side. This makes it more difficult viewing list of caches. Anybody else notice that for caches you have not found the above "X" is a white "O" so that you cannot see it unless you hightlite it.
2)More caches per page. Could be nice but I imagine could slow things down at certain hours.

I log from my Danger Hiptop / T-Mobile Sidekick right from the cache site.
Now, when I try to get cache details or to search nearest caches, I get "Server Error in '/' Application," and apparently some people are getting similar errors with browsers on their desktops.
Rather frustrating. I've posted a few messages about it on the boards there and I hope they fix it. Looks like sloppy code from what I can see.
I love geocaching, but I really don't like geocaching.com.
Long live mngca.org.
I wish other developers could access the cache database in some form, so people could make their own "front end" to the same information. That wouldn't be in the best interests of Groundspeak and their advertisers, I guess.
Woah, I'm on a soap box again, sorry.

I don't use easy GPS -- I can't get Moe to tell me his secret for making it work. (yes I tried it with virtual PC) I am still trying to figure out if I like the new cache list pages or not -- still playing with those features.
My biggest problem has been that I keep getting logged out of the site when visiting certain pages -- never have experienced this problem before, it is annoying. Hopefully they wil get that fixed up soon.
I also hate the new colors -- at least they could have picked something cheerful looking. Bring back the basic black, blue and green....... pleeeeze.
(or some lovely neutral colors like we see here on MnGCA

For the login problem, clear out your cookies and try again - that should clear that up.
As for not using EasyGPS, have you looked into this:
I use this with my 12" Powerbook and it works really slick. The coder, Karl, is a nice guy too. (No need to run VPC!)

This rare film focuses on the Canadian Corps' planning for the great attack on August 8, 1918 that began The Hundred Days of victories that forced Germany to surrender on November 11. We see the Corps commander, Lieutenant-General Sir Arthur Currie, dealing with his staff, poring over maps and (very unusually in the Great War) going forward to do his own reconnaissance of the ground over which he would send his soldiers. Currie, a very good commander indeed (even if his shape did not suggest the soldierly virtues), religiously insisted on doing so. Then the Corps commander's orders were passed by signallers and runners to the units. This clip was staged for the most part, but it nonetheless accurately depicted the way plans were devised and then prepared for implementation.
Pieces of History
The Commanders
Patrick H. Brennan
Military Historian
When the Canadian Expeditionary Force began to take shape in the autumn of 1914, the majority of its future commanding officers had been pursuing their business and professional careers only weeks earlier. Even those with some pre-war militia experience were still amateur warriors who would have to learn how to command soldiers while actually fighting a war. Combat would prove a cruel and unforgiving teacher, and the mistakes they made learning how to command would cost men's lives.
Arthur Currie: the first Canadian to command the Canadian Corps
Arthur Currie began the war in command of a brigade of 4000 men. He had earned his appointment on the recommendation of Garnet Hughes, a fellow British Columbia militia officer who happened to be the son of Canada's Minister of Militia and Defence, the erratic, meddling and militarily incompetent Sir Sam Hughes. During the early stages of the war, Hughes personally selected almost every senior officer in the army, and far too many of them were friends and political cronies who proved unfit for their commands and ultimately had to be replaced. Nothing in Currie's background as a school teacher and realtor with a smattering of militia experience made him stand out. Yet he turned out to be a fast learner and superb leader whose military skills quickly blossomed. By 1916 he was recognized as the best of the senior Canadian officers. A year later, he was the obvious choice to be the first Canadian to command the Corps, a responsibility he carried out with distinction through the rest of the war.
As the Canadians desperately struggled to overcome their inexperience, they were fortunate to have the guidance of some very capable British officers such as Lieutenant-General Julian Byng and his chief staff officer, Major-General Percy Radcliffe. First-rate professional soldiers, they identified the most promising Canadian commanders, mentored them, and, when they proved their worth, promoted them to more responsible commands. Consequently, by 1917 the Canadian Corps had assembled a pool of very capable, battle-experienced Canadian commanding officers.
Two of the brigade commanders, Brigadier-Generals James MacBrien and Victor Odlum, were typical of this group. MacBrien was a professional soldier, one of only a handful of such Canadian commanders. After initially serving as a staff officer, Byng gave MacBrien command of the 12th Infantry Brigade in September 1916, just before this untested unit received their first taste of combat.
After serving in the South African War, Odlum had returned to Vancouver where he'd built up a prosperous financial and insurance business. He saw action with the 7th Battalion at Second Ypres, the Canadians' first battle, taking over command of the battalion when Lt. Col. McHarg was killed. Byng promoted him to the command of the 11th Brigade in July 1916 and like MacBrien, he led his brigade until the Armistice. MacBrien's style was studious and reserved, and his forte was training and planning. In contrast, Odlum was a dashing, fearless battlefield commander who had the wounds to prove it. Although they displayed two very different styles of command, both were effective.
Unlike earlier wars, the sheer scale of World War I battles and the breakdown of communications during the fighting actually made it impossible for generals to control the attacks they launched. What they could do, however, was utilize the weeks before an assault to prepare for every possible battlefield contingency – in other words, to emphasize thorough planning and training.
From amateurs to an elite force
By the end of 1916, the British Empire forces were adopting new, more effective fighting tactics. This was particularly true in the Canadian Corps, where Byng, Radcliffe and Currie had inaugurated a highly efficient system of "organized learning." The officers and soldiers doing the fighting now compiled "after battle" reports outlining in detail what had succeeded and what had failed. Whether it was tactics or weaponry, the Corps' commanders placed a premium on figuring out better ways to fight, emphasizing to every officer and soldier how vital absorbing the lessons of the "battlefield classroom" was to the survival and success of them all. Henceforward, something of value learned by one battalion would be speedily adopted by the rest simply by making it part of everyone's training. Lessons now learned in an organized way were applied in an organized way, too. More than any other factor, mastering this "learning curve" was responsible for transforming the Canadian Corps from an enthusiastic mob of amateurs into an elite attack force, the "shock troops" of the British Empire. Officers, and especially senior commanders, had played an indispensable role.
Battalion commanders
One group of commanders shared the dual responsibility of preparing their soldiers and then leading them in battle—the commanding officers of the Corps' 48 infantry battalions. Of the 200-odd men who commanded a Canadian battalion, 22 were killed in action and many more were wounded. Along with the junior officers under them, they were in charge of most of the soldiers' actual training. They also had the critical responsibility of maintaining the health, morale and unit pride of their men, and often organized sports, concerts and other entertainments with this end in mind.
Battalion commanders were the most senior officers their men actually knew and saw regularly, and who shared their daily risks and grim living conditions at the front. As a result, the men looked to them for inspiration and confidence, and a brave and skilful battalion commander could keep his men going under the most appalling conditions. Lieutenant-Colonel Cyrus Peck was one such officer. He'd enlisted in the 16th Battalion in 1914, fought with it at Second Ypres and commanded it from November 1916 until the end of the war. Although the stocky, walrus-moustached Peck was hardly the most military-looking of commanding officers, he was fearless, and none of his soldiers doubted who ran their unit. During the storming of the Drocourt-Quéant Line on September 2, 1918, such leadership won Peck the Victoria Cross. When stiff German resistance blocked his battalion's advance, he exposed himself to heavy artillery and machine-gun fire in order to reconnoitre enemy positions, then re-organized what was left of his men and led them to capture and hold their objective.
Armies are hierarchical organizations, and the quality of command plays an enormous role in their ultimate success. Even the bravest and best-equipped troops will fail in battle if they are asked to execute a flawed plan, or if the officers directing them in the heat of combat make poor decisions. As the war progressed, the best commanders worked their way to the top of the Canadian Corps. Consequently, planning was sound, and Canadian soldiers were prepared for battle using the most effective tactics learned from earlier combat experiences. Once the battle began, brave and skilled leadership by battalion commanders and the junior officers who followed their lead contributed mightily to the chance for victory. By the last two years of the war, the quality of commander in the Canadian Corps was outstanding, as an unbroken string of victories attests.

Battlefield Communications
Bill Rawling
Historian, Department of National Defence
Battlefield communications were a mix of old and new. The Western Front benefited from the most technologically advanced artillery, where the guns could call on wireless-equipped aircraft to correct fall of shot. The communications technology available to the infantry was far less advanced, however; in late 1914 and early 1915, the Canadians in England who would be responsible for sending and receiving messages from the front were trained on flag drill and lamps.
The Telephone
The telephone, the most convenient means of communication then available, was the responsibility of brigade and division signallers, who, although farther back from the front line, faced an almost impossible task. When laid on the ground, wire was easily destroyed by shelling, and the Germans did not lack for artillery. Stringing it up on poles increased its endurance only slightly, so the only recourse left to signallers was to bury it. Finding labour for such a task when infantry units, who normally provided work parties, were busy digging their own trenches and dugouts was not easy, and a wire shortage made matters worse.
By July 1916, cable laying was somewhat faster, but only because an entire battalion worked on the project at any given time, and soldiers digging trenches for telephone lines were subjected to shelling and machine gun fire as they worked through the night. Wireless telegraphy, which as its name implies did away with wire, was in the early years of the war available only in small numbers, reflecting limited manufacturing resources. Heavy reliance on the telephone, then, could not be avoided, though something had to be done about wires and cables that were continually being cut by artillery and the movements of one's own vehicles. A possible solution was soon forthcoming—laddering—a technique of laying parallel cables about 60 yards apart connected by lateral lines. To shut down communications, artillery would have to cut both main cables between cross-pieces.
Reliance on runners
Still, keeping in touch with the troops who were fighting their way into enemy trenches was an almost insoluble problem. After an attack on November 17, 1916, the 5th Brigade reported that its battalions had kept in touch with the front line with visual signals, but such ease of communication was uncommon, and even the formation in question mentioned that it also relied on runners. Forward of battalion headquarters the most common means of sending information was to have men hand-carry messages through shelling and, occasionally, machine gun fire. After two months of fighting on the Somme in the fall of 1916, commanders simply assumed that runners would be the only way to get messages across no man's land and planned accordingly.
Contact patrols
An added possibility was contact patrols—aircraft that were supposed to advise commanders of what they could see by dropping messages or using wireless telegraphy, but the system was still experimental in 1916. The 78th Battalion suggested that, for troops in an advance, "Communication to contact airplanes is best maintained by flares," but such techniques required perfect timing to ensure the signals were lit while the aircraft was in position to see them. Such synchronization was difficult to achieve when men were fighting for their lives.
Rather than solve the problem of communications on the battlefield, each new development was simply added to existing methods. At Vimy Ridge in April 1917, the Canadian Corps sought to maintain communications by exploiting every means available: runners, flags, pigeons and telephones. A little later, on August 15, the Canadian Corps assaulted and captured Hill 70, and here wireless played an important role, as the Canadians relied on their gunners to break up the inevitable German counterattacks. Signallers could send back quick corrections to an artillery exchange, which then passed on the information to the guns by telephone.
Until the end of the war, forward of brigade headquarters (which kept in touch with its flanks and higher formations with telephone or wireless), the most common and effective means of communication remained the runner, who carried written messages through enemy and friendly fire to keep commanders appraised of the situation so they could allocate reserves or artillery support accordingly.
Near the end of the war
In 1918, the war entered a more mobile phase. Headquarters had to move often in spite of their heavy reliance on the telephone, pushing signallers almost to the breaking point to keep messages moving. The tendency to multiply methods of communication, as at Vimy Ridge, continued. Telephones, visual signalling, pigeons, message-carrying rockets, wireless, runners and contact patrols were all available in the final battles of the war.
In the Canadian Corps' last set-piece attack at Valenciennes on November 1 and 2, there was no time to lay cable, and all messages from brigade to higher headquarters were sent through wireless stations. Communications between aircraft and troops on the ground, however, had not improved. Infantry devised a new system for signalling contact patrols: troops waved a white cloth with a metal disk sewn on the inside flap of the gas mask when they were called; and though the Royal Air Force found the devices very useful in determining the infantry's position, air-ground communications in the last Hundred Days were essentially the same as those of 1917, and remained so until the Armistice was declared on November11.
The First World War did see the development of aircraft, submarines and tanks as weapons of warfare, tactics underwent drastic changes as fire and movement replaced wave attacks, and scientific gunnery proved ever more capable of supporting infantry battalions as they struggled to survive in one of the most hostile environments our species has yet devised. However, in the realm of communications, the revolutionary developments of previous decades—especially the telephone and wireless telegraph—were only partially applied to the information problems of the modern battlefield. In fact, the runner remained an important link between the front line and headquarters until the very last days of the conflict.

Sir Arthur William Currie
Currie participated in all major actions of the Canadian forces, including Passchaendale, during the war but is best known for his planning and leadership during the last 100 days, beginning August 8 and lasting until 11 November 1918, perhaps the most successful of all Allied offensives during the war. Criticism of this campaign by Sir Sam Hughes in Parliament resulted in postwar controversy and a libel action in 1928 which completely vindicated Currie.
Fighting off bankruptcy, Currie diverted $11 000 of his regiment's money to cover his personal debts. The affair came to the attention of Prime Minister Borden, who refused to consider court-martialling Canada's best soldier. British wartime Prime Minister Lloyd George called Currie a "brilliant military commander," and might have appointed him commander of all British forces had the war continued.
Currie served as inspector general of the militia forces in Canada 23 August 1919 to 30 July 1920, and in 1920 became principal and vice-chancellor of McGill, a position he held until his death. Without benefit of post-secondary education himself, he was extraordinarily successful as a university administrator at a time of particular importance in McGill's development.

Unending Seige : Amiens
The scene was now set for toppling the German militarism that in various forms had kept Europe trembling for more than 50 years. Over the long, painful weeks the Allies lived through in the spring of 1918, the Canadians had learned much. They had also had time to rebuild their strength after the successful but costly attacks of 1917.
The sector now reserved for them was that around Amiens. To give the Canadians the advantage of surprise, they were taken 60 kilometres north of the city. Accustomed to having the Australians opposite Amiens, the Germans also knew the Canadians, whom they had seen spearheading British assaults. Two battalions and two first-aid stations were set up in front of Kemmel, where constant traffic of assorted messages was set in motion and picked up by the Germans. Between 30 July and 4 August, in deepest secrecy, the rest of the Canadian Corps descended to the south. Their discretion was facilitated by the gloomy weather, which reduced German air sorties, and the fact that only the division commanders knew the assault target. This secrecy caused numerous logistical problems - for example, the artillery would have almost no time to prepare. Opposite Amiens, the Canadian officers studying the terrain fooled the Germans by wearing the trademark soft hat of the Australian soldiery.
The noise of preparations for the largest mechanized battle ever seen up to that time revealed nothing to the enemy. In spite of all the precautions, however, some German units were wondering about the movements they had detected. Some 604 tanks of all kinds and thousands of horses would give the battle an aspect that was both ancient and modern.
The Black Day of the German Army
Just before dawn on 8 August the attack opened with the firing of 2,000 guns. In addition to the tanks, the soldiers could rely on two motorized machine-gun brigades, a battalion of cyclists to serve the Corps and a section of heavy mortars mounted on trucks. A thousand French and 800 British planes took to the air. During this brilliant assault, which would seriously undermine the morale of the German troops, the Canadians advanced 13 kilometres at the head of an immense front more than 30 kilometres wide. Australians, British and French were also in the attack, their role being to keep clear of the advance of the Canadians, who had more ground to cover to reach their objectives. The Canadians lost 1,036 men killed, 2,803 injured and 29 taken prisoner, losses that were largely offset by their remarkable advance, the most impressive on the western front since 1914. The Germans had to accept 27,000 casualties, including 16,000 taken prisoner - 5,033 of them taken by the Canadians, who also seized 161 artillery pieces and a large number of machine guns and anti-tank guns. Though the Allies were left with only 132 tanks to start with the next day, the Germans had lost seven divisions. The confidence of their High Command was shaken by the realization that its war machine was no longer effective.
An interesting experiment that day involved the use of 30 Mark V tanks to transport the troops of the 4th Division to the opposing trenches. However, many men were bothered by the heat and by the exhaust fumes that entered the passenger compartment. A few fainted; others got out and walked. The drawbacks associated with the Mark Vs could not be rectified and these tanks were not used again during that war.
Canadian Corps Advances
During the night of 8/9 August, the British High Command decided to lend its 32nd Division to the Canadians, who wanted to withdraw their 3rd Division from the front. The Canadians of the 3rd Division had already marched about 10 kilometres to the rear when they were recalled, as the British had changed their minds. The men were exhausted on their return. It was therefore decided to use only one of their brigades at the front, which required the 1st and 2nd divisions to expand the sectors they were covering. Under these conditions the attack of 9 August could not get under way until around 11 am, without the element of surprise of the day before. At a cost of 2,574 casualties, the Canadians took 6.5 kilometres of ground.
The pressure continued to mount for several days, but the momentum of 8 and 9 August was indeed lost. The number of available tanks fell to the point where, on the 12th, there were only six left. Despite their 11,725 casualties from 8 to 20 August, the Canadians had sounded the beginning of the end of the German army by advancing nearly 30 kilometres and securing the ground thus taken. In the whole operation, the Germans recorded 75,000 casualties.
A month earlier the French had seized the initiative from the Germans. In this context, the battle of Amiens would have a decisive impact. It shattered the last hopes of the German High Command, along with any confidence they might have had that their troops still wanted to fight. The success of the Canadian troops was based partly on surprise, the concentration of their strength and co-ordination among the various arms (planes, tanks, guns, machine guns).

Thank you all for your generous support and your belief in our strategy.
In the next few weeks we will be releasing a series of brand new TV ads. Without giving anything away, we are confident in saying these new ads will generate much publicity and create a groundswell of public demand for a new Building 7 investigation leading up to the 10th Anniversary.
To help pave the way towards that day, we have an important action item that will take you only two minutes to complete. Please help us send 500 emails to the Speaker of the New York City Council to inform her that 2010 was only the beginning of our campaign, and our calls for the empanelment an independent commission to investigate Building 7 will grow as the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 approaches.
Once you send your email you will be asked to click a button to record your participation. This button is on the webpage and transparently displays the total number of letters sent, so we are counting on you to show our numbers. You do not need to be a resident of New York City. We encourage people everywhere to contact Speaker Quinn. Press the link below to take action now.
Thank you for speaking up on this day of honor for Martin Luther King Jr.

On Thursday, June 16, 2011 the Surf Industry Manufacturers Association (SIMA) hosted its 7th annual Waterman's Weekend Underwriting Party at the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel, California. The event raises funds to support the SIMA Environmental Fund, which benefits a group of 20 environmental organizations that address water quality issues, defend beaches and surf breaks, or provide education about clean ocean conservation.
Industry executives and athletes came out to support the event, which included a live auction of rare items—like court side Lakers tickets and a week's stay at Billabong's house on the North Shore. The auction raised thousands of dollars, which will be used to produce SIMA's Waterman's Weekend on August 11–12.
Here's a photo gallery from the event:
