Busy Day & Snow Coming
Alright, so the countdown to spring rolls on, but we have another round of snow coming to Kansas Thursday. The heavies of the snow should end up over the eastern half of Kansas. My vehicle has been nice and clean for a few days, so I guess we are due for some messy weather now. Isn't there a concert Thursday night? Some lady by the name of Reba or Kelly. I'm a little jealous for those that will get to attend.
I really enjoy reading all of the conversations on here. It just makes the blogging more exciting and interesting for others to read. I am headed to a weather meeting in Great Bend for Wednesday. See you back on the air Saturday night... maybe with Millie.

Hey Ross,
We were starting to get a little full on the last blog, glad you started another one for us! Whats the largest number of comments you've had attached to one blog? Did we beat it with the 100th blog?
Well I spent almsot the entire day indoors, which considering the weather, I don't think I missed too much, but after a 12 hour shift and I am tired!
Marisa I hope you have fun at the concert on Thursday. I'm sure it will be GREAT! Melissa I work open until 2pm on Saturday, so probably around 11ish would be my lunch, so try to avoid then if possible, but it's only 30 mins. Also regarding the cat eyeball surgery, I thought it was pretty cool, but I've worked for vet clinics, the zoo, and petsmart, so guess not much phases me there!
Welcome to the blog conversations Debbie, what breed of dogs do you have, I have two labs and a great dane. Continue to join in, its a lot of fun. You too Marisa, glad to have you join the gang!
So Mr. Anonymous...how well do you know Ross? Anything fun you can share? Of course we don't want to get him in any trouble! It's always fun to watch him blush as he is being complimented.
Well lets see what we can get going on here? I think I missed Ross' acceptance to Chair the planning committee for our blogger get together or perhaps as Melissa suggested, Spring Doggie-Get-Together. Maybe he needs a few days to think it over?!?!?
Have a great night all and drive safe Ross!

Hi Again
I also spent most of the day indoors.. besides walking some hopsitalized patients outside (which was not fun with the wind cutting right through you!!!) Its a good thing the wind has calmed down a bit. Gotta love the Kansas weather. Flip flops one day, snow the next. It must be exciting being a meteorologist in Kansas. You never know what's going to happen.
Ty, it will probably be earlier than 11 since I "plan" on going to Salina Saturday afternoon to watch the PBR Discovery Tour. We will see what happens.
Keep the countdown going till spring! I can only dream about with the weather how it is now! I forgot how cold it got. (I missed last winter here!) Keep warm everyone and have in in Great Bend tomorrow, Ross!

Ross, on a side note I meant to add that the JASON project sounds a bit like the movie "Twister", how they were trying to get ahead of the tornado and place weather reporting instruments infront of the oncoming tornado. I am not that familiar with the project, but were they just ahead of their time on this philosophy with the movie "Twister" or did the JASON project or something similiar give them the basis for "Dorothy" for those that know the movie? Just a thought? I loved that movie back in high school, god I feel old now! Well I hope you can enlighten me!!! I have a lot of other weather related questions but at the risk of sounding like a moron on the blog, I'll just ask you another time.
Take care and have a good night!

Not looking forward to the snow on Thursday. I have class and a few other things taking place.
The project sounds like an interesting, and it would be cool if more was know about the formation of Tornadoes.
I wish we could find a way to keep your car clean and also be able to drive on the winter roads.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the newcomers at Rossplace.com (that is the official name right?) It is so cool to have new...uh...faces? to talk to!! Although I live in Salina, and most others live in Wichita, I consider myself part of the gang, and I really love blogging with everyone here. I have never officially met anyone, but we all seem to have a love for animals, especially dogs, and a love for chatting...right Ty? (gotta give ya a hard time, cause I never thought I'd meet someone who could outchat me!) So please let us know if you have animals, and what kinds!
Ok, in answer to one of Ty's questions, I DID get to go see Barack Obama, and all I can say is WOW! What a truly outstanding speaker. The only bad part was standing outside in line waiting to get in for over an hour in the cold wind and snow....Ross, we need to talk! But I have to tell ya, I have never heard a candidate speak with so much conviction and passion in my life...well, maybe JFK, but I can't remember that cause I was a baby. I can see why he is considered a unifier of people. There were some Republicans close to me that said they would vote for him if he gets the nomination. I am a democrat now after being an independent for years, and I will caucus next week. I really had been leaning toward Hillary (sorry Ty), but after hearing this man speak, I can't imagine any other person being our president (hope that redeems me)If you can watch the raw video here at KWCH...the speech was incredible.
Melissa...what a great idea to have a blogger/doggie get together. Maybe once Ross gets his yard mowed we could all bring our pooches over there and have a keg and some BBQ. I second the nomination by the way, so we just need your official nod Ross and we'll be over. I see where you are coming to town for the bull riders tour. It should be VERY good, and I hope you enjoy. Let us know how it goes!
Marisa...I'm still jealous, but I sure hope you have a good time at the concert. I'd still love the chance to see Keith/Carrie too. It is a bit expensive, so we'll have to see.
The JASON project sounds very interesting, and I have heard of them wanting to try this technology for awhile. My question is, if they get a piece of equipment inside of a tornado, what keeps the tornado from ripping it to shreds? And Ty, please don't feel "old". I remember "Twister", and loved it, and was also way past high school when I saw it. So, if you are old....then I'm....well.....next subject.
Welcome Debbie, and to Mr. Anonymous...are you Ross in disguise? By the way Deb, I have 2 Golden Retrievers, and I am finally starting to get them to train well. They are only 2 years old. Handful!!! Let's see....did I bore you all to sleep? Sorry for the rambling...lots to share today! Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been blogging lately. Have been sick for a couple of days, but feeling better now. This crazy hot and cold weather is killing me. Sure wish you could do something about that Ross!
Great to see others joining to give their feedback. Welcome to you all.
Melissa, what's this about the PBR discover tour. I can't find anything on www.pbrnow.com about this stop. I would love to go, where can I find out more info?
I think this JASON project sounds cool, where did the name come from? I was thinking about the movie Twister too, Ty.
Well, I hope everyone has a great day!

I thought I would get back on here real quick before I had to get to work and forgot. Stacy- I think you can find it here http://www.pbrnow.com/competition/hnh/eventLoad.cfm?id=08-306
If not, you go to www.pbrnow.com and click on the discovery tour. It will be Feb 1-2 in Salina. Let me know if that works.
Off to battle the cold!!

Is Ross single? Maybe "anonymous" knows?

Hi All,
It is kind of funny that a group who never met all found the same blog and ended up having some things in common. In answer to Ty I have two "weinie dogs". I couldn't bring them to a doggie get together as they are so spoiled and don't play well with others.
I thought of Twister too but like Shelly I was past HS when it came out so you may not be the oldest...
Ross I am curious, last night I saw you do the weather at nine on channel 4 but not on channel 12. How does that work? If you are headed to Great Bend for one of the weather spotter meetings I bet it is strange to talk thunderstorms when we are calling for snow again.
- January 30, 2008 at 12:56 PM
- Stacy said...
Thanks so much, I appreciate it. I found it! Hopefully I can attend too.
Well, hope you have your stampede strap on today or you'll lose your hat for sure!
Oh, and I don't know anyone on here blogging, just by this site only. I don't have any dogs either, so I'm out of the loop on that note, but do have horses. Would be difficult to bring them in to PetSmart, but would love to park them out front, but I'm sure there's no hitchin' posts.
- January 30, 2008 at 1:24 PM
Hey guys! Okay, I am laughing out loud at some of your comments...I enjoy reading them! It's actually "Ms. Anonymous" and I've known Ross since grade school. He's a very good friend and now I know as I write this, he's going to know who I am. :) haha!
I don't get on here as often as I'd like, but I do enjoy reading the comments! And Ty, I'm sure I have lots of fun stories on Ross, but I'll have to refrain from sharing them on the blog...unless I can get his permission first! :)
Have a good day everyone!
- January 30, 2008 at 1:29 PM
Hey Ross, I was just wondering if you've come up with any ideas for your weather special yet?
Keep up the good work!!

Hey Ross and the gang (not to exclude Ross from the gang, because he is OBVIOUSLY included, just respectfully singling him out since it's his blog)
What's going on today? Well Shelly, when I get typing, sometimes it's just hard to stop. Feel free to give me a hard time, I can take it, but can dish back too…so watch out, ha ha! Seriously though, it is easy to communicate with people of similar interests, so I feel free to share, so I'm glad you all don't mind. I am always one for great networking and open communications, plus you can never have too many friends in high or low places (depending upon a persons perspectives of course)!
Well Melissa, before 11am sounds great. I will understand if it's too cold, but I'll try to keep an eye out for Rodeo. I just never know what I'm going to be doing there, especially lately I've been all over. PBR sounds like fun!
Also Shelly I am glad to hear that someone from our gang went to see and hear Obama speak in El Dorado. I am never one to push my beliefs on anyone and I definitely don't consider myself very much into politics, though I DO think this presidential election is a BIG ONE with so many potential candidates. I think this will also really help our youth understand the importance of voting, especially with Kansas holding a caucus this year. One thing that has always bothered not only me, but many of my peers, is the voting process for president, with the use of The United States Electoral College. Why can't this be like other elections and have a majority for the ENTIRE United States of America rather than just 538 Presidential Electors who make the decision for us, supposedly using our votes to weigh their decision? I know that some states, California, New York, Texas, and others are heavily populated versus other states, but at least the majority would have spoken. Any thoughts on this? I know many of you are thinking…not very political…yeah right, but really I'm not. As I've said I'm registered Republican, but I am currently for Obama and plan to voting for him, just obviously not in the caucus due to my party affiliation. Shelly I am glad that Obama was able to sway you from Hilary, but you are free to have your opinion, thanks for sharing, sorry you froze waiting, BLAME ROSS HA HA!
HEY Stacy glad to see your back, was beginning to wonder if you were ok. Sorry to hear you were sick, but glad you are doing better, my wife has been ill as well but she is better too! This weather doesn't make it easy with temps all over the place. Sounds like a great place to interject with the count down; the First Official Day of Spring is in only 48 days as (1/30/08)!!!
Well Shelly8, last I talked with Ross one on one he wasn't single, that's been a couple weeks though. That's all I know about that? Hope that helps because I know he is quite busy and won't be able to chime in anytime soon.
Well it was a guess, so does "Ms Anonymous" have a name since the cat should be out of the bag for Ross at least? Glad you are enjoying the conversations and we are glad to have you apart of it. Oh I'm sure Ross wouldn't mind some stories from back in the day, since he has posted pics from his childhood on here already…but definitely check with him for his approval, we want to hear…or read rather some stories about Ross!
Hey Stacy, what kind of horses do you have? Sorry the Wichita PetsMarts do not have hitching posts or equine area…but may of them do. I'd love to see your horses. I definitely enjoy riding.
Well this is definitely enough for me, though I'm sure I'll think of something else after I send!! Take care and have a great day all!

Hey Ty, and anyone else that cares about politics... I can understand why most people in our state would have a problem with the Elector College. It is something that seems out of date and out of touch with our society since it comes from after the American Revolutionary War.
However I still believe the Electoral College is a good to have in Presidential Elections, esp, since we come from a state that has a smaller population than that of New York or California.
Just look at what happened on Tuesday with Obama coming to Kansas to give a speech.
He came for two reasons, to connect with his roots and also because of the closeness of the race between him and Hilary. If the electoral college was done away with the state wouldn't see people running for office of the President come to the Kansas cause they would go where the most people were, ie the bigger cities and states with the biggest populations, make Kansas an even bigger fly over country.
The electoral systems isn't perfect, however, you still have to vote in order for you state to go to the person that you would like.
It is a good thing to debate that is for sure.
- January 30, 2008 at 3:33 PM
I saw online that part of the state is in a "red flag" warning. I don't think I've ever heard that before...what does it mean?
- January 30, 2008 at 3:49 PM
- Ty said...
I know I am not Ross but to answer the question for Anonymous regarding the red flag warning, it is a system that was established to look at the correlates between wind and fire. Basically it indicates conditions that could produce an extreme fire behavior and no burning should be done on Red Flag days. Hope that helps! Ross, please add onto this if you have more information.
Thanks Jonathan for your comments as I understand your point about trying to level the field, giving less populated states a voice still. I think it was great that Obama came here and I am sad I was unable to see him. I don't know what would be a perfect system, but I know it is frustrating as well. Anyone else have thoughts? I honestly am not that political but find this of definite interest!
Have a great day! I am not looking forward to the weather we are about to acquire this evening and tomorrow. DRIVE SAFE EVERYONE!!!

Holy Cow
I got to work for the day and come back and feel like I am reading a book to catch up on all the conversations on here hahaha.
Are you planning on going to the PBR Shelly?? I was thinking about it, just not sure if I want to make the drive out.
Ty, bad news?! I may have to babysit a friend from works 1 month old on Sat. I will know for sure tomorrow. She is stuck working and doesn't have daycare on Saturdays. (and me loving babies ALMOST as much as dogs, I said I would be there for her) But it's still up in the air.
Hope you are feeling better Stacy. I know there was some virus going around lately. Thats not fun!!
Eating a little dinner then off to the gym. (if anyone wants to join for a run! I'm getting bored running alone!) LOL Talk to you all soon.
Ty, I think this beat the comments from the 100th blog!
- January 30, 2008 at 6:57 PM
- Ty said...
OK...I don't know if any of you were watching the KSU/KU game...BUT WOW K-STATE led throughout almost the entire game, and kicked it up a notch in the 2nd Half! KSU upset KU with a final score of 84 - 75! I am so proud of the WILDCATS, anybody that knows me, especially those at work, know I bleed purple! KU may have beaten us in football this school year, but we beat'em in basketball!! After a 24 year losing streak, the curse is BROKEN!
Did I mention that KU was ranked the #2 team! HMMMM!!!!!
Melissa, I noticed that you maybe unable to make it Saturday. Not a problem at all, just let me know if you can. I agree that we blew the comments total for the 100th blog out of the water with this blog. KEEP IT UP EVERYONE, ITS BEEN GREAT!
- January 30, 2008 at 9:45 PM
Well K-State played well but KU didn't play to their best ability.
I found if funny that K-State fans had to rush the floor, very tacky. I guess I can't speak too much, cause KU did rush the field a couple of years ago when they won some important games.
- January 30, 2008 at 10:14 PM
- shelly said...
Wow did I read that right? 21 comments!!! Geez Ross, you've started your own little community here at Rossplace.com! Good for you! I LOVE all the chat and yes Ty I'm going to continue to try to kick your butt as best chatter.....And of course I don't mind the funning around, this has been such a great chat site, and I have a good time ; )
Ok, first, I HAVE to say GO K_STATE!!! Ty, our Cats did great. Like you, I bleed purple, and this was definitely our night!! I think if I was there I would have stormed the court too (sorry Jonathan). Yes, I know some people think it's tacky, but as a Catbacker for most of my life, this was a HUGE win for K-State and I'm sure the emotion in the fieldhouse was phenomenal. Besides, this is only game one. We still have to go to Allen in a couple of weeks, so there could always be a different side to that story. But I'm glad that K-State is finally getting some of the props that it deserves. Dare we even think Big 12 Championship?? It just might finally be possible!
As for the electoral college vs. popular vote, I see both sides to the issue. It is a little disheartening to think that getting the most popular vote doesn't really mean that you win the election. That can be very hard to take in a close race. But in a largely uncontested race it wouldn't mean much. I like knowing that my vote counts for something as an individual, but I also like knowing that the candidates have a reason to be seen in the smaller venues around the nation. Seeing Obama the other day was just electric...very impressive and very inspirational. I wonder if he would have been here without the electoral college. I was happy to see that you approved of my sway to Obama Ty. I am also happy to see you sway from Republican to Obama too! But you know...something he said the other day really struck me. He said "we are not red and blue states, but United States", and I really think our generation and the next need to start thinking this way. We have become to divisive. We need to be more united and work together or our nation just will continue to falter. OH OH....somebody stop me...I'm on a roll!
Melissa, I will not be able to attend PRB this weekend as I already have other plans. But, I know it would be well worth the trip if you can go. I'm sure you'd love it!
So, Debbie...how old are your dogs, and what are their names? I can understand them being spoiled. My Lab, Reba, was like that. And as she got older she was too protective and started seeing every dog as a threat to me, or her. Dogs tend to get used to their homes and surroundings and then it can be hard to socialize.
Glad to know that you are ok Stacy, and good to see you back! By the way, how is that nephew? I sure hope that he hasn't had to deal with the flu too!
It has been great to see so much activity on the blog, and I hope it keeps going. Ms. Anonymous, we think that maybe you should be....uh....less anonymous! It is fun to see people from Ross' neighborhood from the past. Please feel free to tell us those stories about our blogging meterology friend. We'd love to know!!
Have a great Thursday everyone!

WOW...for so many different reasons! This snow is WOW, the amount of chatter on here is WOW, and all the new bloggers is WOW!
I hope everyone made it to work ok this morning; I know my commute was a little crazy. Be careful everyone! Those of you with dogs will have to teach them how to mush soon, if the wind keeps blowing.
My nephew is wonderful and has avoided all the virus' going around and I'm so thankful! He's getting baptized this weekend too.
I really enjoyed the BB game last night and have to agree that KU did not play very well. It will be a different ball game in Lawrence, I'm sure. I bet Beasly eats his words.
My folks and I have 5 horses; a couple of strawberry roans, a buckskin, a gray cow horse and a beautiful, young, thoroughbred. Won't be riding anytime soon, now...thanks Ross. =)JK
Hope your trip to Great Bend went well, Ross.
Well, everyone stay warm and be safe. Looking forward to some sunny weather now!
- January 31, 2008 at 11:11 AM
Hello folks,
Okay, I've sat back and read all your comments for several weeks now. And while I know you all are enjoying it, I'm going to be the bad guy here...
This is supposed to be ROSS' BLOG, not get to know your bloggers and discuss your pets, concerts, etc. It is nice to have things in common, but can you find another way to communicate? I know I'm not just speaking for myself when I say, I don't really want to read "books" about what your dogs did and what concerts you are going to, etc.
I get on here to read about the topics Ross wants to discuss and I think it has gotten a bit out of control lately! Its great that you all are blogging, but can we please stick to the topic at hand?!
Also, I think we need to leave Ross' personal life out of it! I thought it was incredibly inconsiderate to post that he may be taken. That is really none of our business! If Ross wanted us to know, HE would tell us.
So forgive me for being the one to say it, but I think we need to bring the focus back to the topics Ross writes about and most importantly leave his personal life out of it!
Ross, you are great! Keep up the good work!

I've noticed after the most activity we have seen yet on this blog cease today, which I attribute to either the last comment posted or perhaps everyone is so busy with the SNOW (ugh), but I figured I would step up and make a few comments, which I hope doesn't upset anyone, please forgive me for the potential book ahead.
First I do want to apologize to Ross if we have made you uncomfortable in any way! Definately not my intent, and I would assume not for any others here as well. For me, after looking back, I feel that we should leave Ross' personal life out of our blogs. Unlike most of us, he is in the media spot light, I know obvious right, but it requires an extra bit of discretion that I think sometimes the rest of us forget. I would hope that I could speak for all that blog here, by saying that we do not want to cause any problems for Ross in his position with KWCH, as we really enjoy what he brings to the station!
I would like to mention as well that Ross talks to us about Millie (which we enjoy) and we talk about our pets in return. Ross has mentioned the concerts in blogs and and we have been commenting on them as well. He has encouraged us to talk about what is going on around town and other current topics. Ross even said in the blog that we are posting on, and I quote "I really enjoy reading all of the conversations on here. It just makes the blogging more exciting and interesting for others to read." To me it sounds like the various topics have been of interest to him.
SO...not trying to put you in a bad position here Ross, but we will leave it to you to give us direction on how you wish us to continue on your blog. If you wish us to stop these topics, we can respect that but I hope you know we are NOT trying to take over your blog either.
I also hope Ross still feels as though he can continue to share/blog and carry on as before, as we all do enjoy what he has to say!
Take care everyone and I hope things went well in Great Bend Ross. Good Night.

Hello all, and I hope that everyone is staying warm and safe after the recent snowy weather. Now that the wind has finally simmered down, maybe there will be enough of a warm up to rid the streets of slippery hazards. It looks like we might have some days that are precipitation free...at least the dangerous kind, and I think we can all be glad about that.
I read, with much interest, the comments posted by "Anonymous". First, I would like to say I am in total agreement with the things that Ty mentioned, and truly appreciate his candor. There have been the RARE occasions that someone has asked about Ross' personal life here, and I agree that it is not any of our business. That is why I have never once printed anything in my comments concerning Ross' personal life. I think we all know...especially Ross...that things like that happen to people in the public eye. I think I speak for all the "regular" bloggers here that we really don't pay too much attention to it and focus on other issues. Those people tend to come and go pretty quickly, and they don't seem to be too much of a bother on this blog most of the time. But as I said, I agree...this is not the appropriate forum for those types of inquiries.
I would also like to express my thoughts about what "Anonymous" is concerned with in respect to what we post in this blog. First, let me just say that I can NOT speak for Ross, and I would never presume that anyone else here should either. I can tell, when Ross updates his blog, that he has taken the time to read the comments that everyone posts. I know this because he refers to specific comments that have been made and even points out people by name. Ross is always providing us with bits of information about things going on in his life, and I think he enjoys knowing what is going on in ours in return. The reason I feel this is because he, himself, will comment on it. There have been many times when Ross has written in his updates to openly encourage us to write about ourselves, and that he is happy with all the responses he gets. Yes, Ross does always have a topic that he shares with us, and I think that most of us do respond with our thoughts on those topics, as well as expand on our own ideas and happenings.
I feel like this blog is more than just a blog, but has grown into a community. I also see Ross as a very social guy that enjoys seeing all of us share and build with each other here. That is what blogs tend to do. And, I am sure as you so eloquently said "Anonymous", if Ross didn't feel comfortable with the way this forum is going, he would tell us so himself. I would totally trust him to redirect us in the fashion he would like to see this blog flow. After all, as you said, it is his blog.
I would just like to end by saying that I apologize if I have offended anyone, especially Ross. I would never want to do so to anyone here, because you are all considered my "friends", and I really enjoy being active in this blog. I know it is an interest in the weather that brought us here to begin with, but it is so much more than that that keeps us coming back everyday to participate and share ourselves with each other. And for that, we are all very lucky.
To Ross: You are a great asset to KWCH, and to the people of Kansas. You are a great teacher, and it is easy to see your dedication to what you do. I know I can only speak for myself here, but I think everyone would agree that we want nothing more than to build and carry on your blog in the way that you would intend it to be. If you feel we need to redirect, please know I, for one, am happy to do so.
PS...sorry for writing "a book".

- Stacy said...
Just wanted to express my gratitude to Ty and Shelly for their honest and heartfelt explaination...those are my thoughts exactly. I would like to apologize also if I've offended anyone by putting part of my personal life on this blog. I am very thankful for Ross' contributions on this blog and especially on KWCH. He is very refreshing to watch and learn from. Looking forward to watching you on Saturday, hopefully with Millie.
Good luck to the groundhog tomorrow on Groundhogs Day!

I just want to say on t.v. Ross comes off as a very personable guy. That is what caused me to check out his blog in the first place. What I found when I started reading is that he shares things about his life. His newphew's Christmas present, his hometown, his dog, his dad and him gathering data together. These things drew me to the blog. I am very family oriented and felt a connection. I love learning about the other people who blog here as well. Isn't the point of blogging to draw people to respond.
I also feel that most people in the public eye get people who don't know where to draw the line at times. Listen to some of the questions that come up on answer back 12 if you don't believe me. People are not afraid to ask about relationship status, comment on Bruce's hair or other such issues. I think the station expects some of it we just have to be respectful in our own responses and hey we always have the opportunity not to comment if don't like the direction a conversation is going.
I for one hope this anonymous doesn't change the direction of the blog. It has been fun to participate.
- February 1, 2008 at 10:50 AM
I for one would have to agree with anonymous. I agree that Ross encourages SOME personal information when he asks questions on his blog, etc. But I also feel it has taken a direction away from the blog. I think its okay to comment on the things Ross writes about...that is after all the reason we are all here. But I think there comes a point where too much has been shared.

What's Next: Jolly Old Eco-land
Come 2016, the ideal English country home may no longer be the thatch-roofed cottage or grand manor house so many of us have come to know. Instead, it may be the brand-new home a few hills over, in one of 10 government-mandated "ecotowns"—developments of 5,000 to 20,000 carbon-neutral houses that Prime Minister Gordon Brown hopes will ease England's acute housing shortage.

I asked last week, if the NYT was growing a spine. Seems to me that their editorial board has in fact gone shrill with today's editorial (emphasis mine):
A bit over a week ago, President Bush and his men promised to provide the legal, constitutional and moral justifications for the sort of warrantless spying on Americans that has been illegal for nearly 30 years. Instead, we got the familiar mix of political spin, clumsy historical misinformation, contemptuous dismissals of civil liberties concerns, cynical attempts to paint dissents as anti-American and pro-terrorist, and a couple of big, dangerous lies.Not only shrill, but they've even started to fact-check Karl Rove, of all people, rather than simply print anything that spews from his piehole.
Sept. 11 could have been prevented. This is breathtakingly cynical. The nation's guardians did not miss the 9/11 plot because it takes a few hours to get a warrant to eavesdrop on phone calls and e-mail messages. They missed the plot because they were not looking.
We keep hoping that Mr. Bush will finally lay down the bloody banner of 9/11, but Karl Rove, who emerged from hiding recently to talk about domestic spying, made it clear that will not happen — because the White House thinks it can make Democrats look as though they do not want to defend America. "President Bush believes if Al Qaeda is calling somebody in America, it is in our national security interest to know who they're calling and why," he told Republican officials. "Some important Democrats clearly disagree."It just keeps getting better:
Mr. Rove knows perfectly well that no Democrat has ever said any such thing — and that nothing prevented American intelligence from listening to a call from Al Qaeda to the United States, or a call from the United States to Al Qaeda, before Sept. 11, 2001, or since. The 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act simply required the government to obey the Constitution in doing so. And FISA was amended after 9/11 to make the job much easier.
Just trust us. Mr. Bush made himself the judge of the proper balance between national security and Americans' rights, between the law and presidential power. He wants Americans to accept, on faith, that he is doing it right. But even if the United States had a government based on the good character of elected officials rather than law, Mr. Bush would not have earned that kind of trust. The domestic spying program is part of a well-established pattern: when Mr. Bush doesn't like the rules, he just changes them, as he has done for the detention and treatment of prisoners and has threatened to do in other areas, like the confirmation of his judicial nominees. He has consistently shown a lack of regard for privacy, civil liberties and judicial due process in claiming his sweeping powers. The founders of our country created the system of checks and balances to avert just this sort of imperial arrogance.It's about $%#@! time that the MSM spoke up. A year and a half too late, but better late than never.
War changes everything. Mr. Bush says Congress gave him the authority to do anything he wanted when it authorized the invasion of Afghanistan. There is simply nothing in the record to support this ridiculous argument.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is about to start hearings on the domestic spying. Congress has failed, tragically, on several occasions in the last five years to rein in Mr. Bush and restore the checks and balances that are the genius of American constitutional democracy. It is critical that it not betray the public once again on this score.

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION APPEAL BOARD OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA AND DONALD MEREDICKv.AUTO EXPRESS, INC., APPELLANT
Appeal from the Order of the Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board in case of Donald Meredick v. Auto Express, Inc., No. A-68532.
Joseph A. Murphy, with him Anthony J. Piazza, John R. Lenahan, and Lenahan, Dempsey & Murphy, for appellant.
James J. Haggerty, with him Joseph J. O'Brien, Jr., Haggerty & McDonnell, and James N. Diefenderfer, for appellees.
President Judge Bowman and Judges Kramer and Mencer, sitting as a panel of three. Opinion by Judge Mencer.
Author: Mencer
[ 21 Pa. Commw. Page 560]
Donald Meredick (claimant) was last employed as a tractor-trailer driver for Auto Express, Inc. (appellant).
On Friday, May 4, 1973, claimant drove his regular route between the Scranton terminal and the Charmin Paper plant in Mehoopany, Pennsylvania. At the Charmin plant, claimant, with the aid of two or three Charmin employees, participated in the routine unloading of his cargo through the use of mechanized forklifts and hand trucks. He then moved his truck to the loading dock and began, by himself, to hand load his truck for the
[ 21 Pa. Commw. Page 561]
return trip home. At about 2 p.m., during the course or loading the truck, claimant experienced pains across his chest. Another truck driver finished the loading, and claimant, with great difficulty, managed to get his truck back to the plant and to check out for home. Claimant's chest pains continued intermittently until the following day when he was hospitalized for a myocardial infarction. He has not returned to work.
After a hearing, a referee found claimant to have been totally disabled from a work-related injury and accordingly awarded, in addition to claimant's stipulated medical expenses, compensation at the rate of $100 per week. The Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board (Board) affirmed, and Auto Express has now appealed to this Court, raising various errors it deems fatal to claimant's recovery. We affirm.
In this type of case, where the Board has affirmed an award of a referee granting benefits to a claimant, our scope of review is limited to a determination of whether there is substantial competent evidence in the record to support any necessary findings of fact and whether the Board and referee have committed an error of law. Columbus Service International v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board, 17 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 441, 333 A.2d 233 (1975); Panther Valley School District v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board, 13 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 178, 318 A.2d 403 (1974). And where, as here, the Board has received no additional evidence, we are compelled to rely on the facts as found by the referee, if such facts are supported by substantial competent evidence. Leipziger v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board, 12 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 417, 315 A.2d 883 (1974). As we have often stated, substantial evidence must be such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion. Columbus Service International v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board, supra.
[ 21 Pa. Commw. Page 562]
Appellant first brings before this Court the question of whether claimant met the burden placed on him of proving "that he sustained a work-related injury in the course of his employment." Appellant has therefore correctly recognized, and raised as an issue, the effect of the new amendments to Section 301(c)(1) of The Pennsylvania Workmen's Compensation Act.*fn1 Hence we turn to Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board v. Jeddo Highland ...

RJ Rockers brewing Company in Spartanburg SC.
It pours a deep, dark red that is almost brown and has a creamy head. You get the sweet scent of malts mixed with some earthy hop tones. The taste is almost just as the smell, semi-sweet taste of bittersweet chocolate with the hops adding some more bitterness at the end but finishing fairly smooth and creamy. A very nice English Brown Ale, which as I have said before is probably my favorite style. Nothing out of balance in this style of beer.
Well I hope you had a good 4th of July and if you are off tomorrow have a nice relaxing Monday cause it only makes Tuesday that much worse. Cheers!

When it comes down to the finishing the design of a playground, the small details can really be the difference in the final product between an average site and a fantastic one. These details can be little features such as engravings, tic-tac-toe boards, and binoculars. They can come in the forms of a unique color scheme that perfectly fits the essence of the surrounding area or a creative rubber mulch pattern. What ever the detail is, if it makes your design stand out in a positive way, it is a good idea.
Remember that kids have huge imaginations so the smallest design addition, like a steering wheel, can be a giant hit. An adult may see a panel with an undersized steering wheel connected to it, but a kid will see the cockpit of an airplane, the driver seat of a monster truck, or the command post of a submarine, among anything else that moves. Think about how a kid will use each part of the site when dreaming up playscape concepts, it will make a huge difference for eventual visitors.
There are small differences between features too that completely separate seemingly equivalent pieces. For instance, a slightly greater angle on a slide can mean huge speed improvements for a much better ride. Having multiple swing models available on a set will allow many more age groups to use the equipment—there are also new versions of the swing that are really entertaining that are worth checking out. Another idea to keep in mind is using creative ways to connect different pieces… getting from one piece of equipment to another can be an adventure all its own. Its the little details that really do a number when all is said and done.

I downloaded this book to my Kindle a long time ago. I knew it was going to be a good one, so I waited to read it until I could totally savor it. It was worth the wait! I may be one of the last persons in North America to finally read this fabulous book, written by an Australian author. After burying three babies of her own, Isabel hears the faint cry of a newborn, coming from a boat that has washed up on the beach of the island lighthouse off the coast of Western Australia. What she and her husband (the lighthouse keeper) decide to do with this baby, is what makes the story a real page-turner! Loved this book and highly recommend. If you like books with realistic versus fantasy endings, you'll enjoy this one. A great read!

Hey Bees' Needs Volunteers and blog followers, my name is Collin Schwantes and I am a recent addition to The Bees' Needs team. I'm writing this post to tell you about the work I'm doing on the project right now. I've just gotten started, so I'll write again later this summer with some more results. But for now, this is a glimpse of what I'm working on.
You might recall that one of the goals of The Bees' Needs is to examine how landscape attributes in our communities benefit or discourage native bee and wasp diversity. I have been hired this summer to look into these questions using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology. Ultimately, knowing how what we do in our backyards impacts bees and wasps will give us the tools we need to conserve them. The first step is to ask: where are our volunteers seeing the most bee and wasp diversity?
Thanks to all of you, we have an incredibly rich data set that we can use to tackle that question. From my perspective, each of your blocks represents a point on the map where we know something about the bees and wasps living there. Even knowing that no bees or wasps are nesting at your block is important. What we can do next is nearly endless.
I've started looking at not only where we find the greatest diversity of nesting bees and wasps, but also at how those "hot spots" for diversity change across the nesting season. For this blog post, I'm going to focus on the greater Boulder area. We know that some bees and wasps build nests early in the year and others later. Using data from each month we can see when and where species start to show up around Boulder. By interpolating between blocks, we can roughly estimate where bees and wasps are found for the entire area surrounding Boulder, even if we don't have bee blocks there.
Let's look at this changing map, below. It shows us nesting bee and wasp diversity from June to September in 2013. The red areas are those of greatest diversity, and the blue areas are least diverse. You can see that diversity bounces around quite a bit as different wasps and bees start nesting at different times. June and July appear to be the months with the most diversity across all the bee blocks. In August there appears to be some lingering pockets of high diversity. As I work through subsequent years of your data from the project, it will be interesting to see if these hot spots stay the same, or change.
The heat map you see above has error associated with it simply because we can't sample all the bees and wasps everywhere. As a result, the estimates of diversity made in the heat map may not perfectly reflect what you have recorded in your block. Fortunately, we can use elements of the urban landscape to try to improve those estimates. If our estimates of where bees can be found are closer to what you report, then we have found a piece of the landscape that predicts bee and wasp presence. We can use maps of streets, parking lots and buildings to figure out where bees probably aren't. Because the bees and wasps we are interested in can't eat or nest in blacktop, we can be pretty sure that bees and wasps won't be found in the middle of a King Soopers parking lot. When we include all of those surfaces in our estimation we can cut out a large chunk of the map.
We will probably find that elements of the urban landscape influence bee and wasp species in complex ways. With some things, like tree cover or conservation areas, increasing the number of species we find in a block and other things, like percent impervious surfaces, decreasing diversity. Some species may do really well in the urban core, while others are only able to exist in small pockets of the city. With the knowledge gained from this work, we will know which parts of the city could use a boost in bee and wasp habitat, and which areas we should be protecting.

Word Work!
First Graders are really getting the hang of our routines! Today we used our letter magnet boards for the first time! Our learners were amazing. They put the letters in ABC order in record time and started building words! I love how our group has come together and takes such great care of our classroom supplies!

I started this blog because I love to take motorcycle trips both local and around the country. And I love finding that roadside attraction or quaint town and of course the best places to eat. So I'd like to share my adventures with friends old and new. And I would like to hear about yours. Feel free to share. What's the nicest ride you've ever taken? The most scenic ride? The longest ride? Rallies you've been to with thousands or a solo ride? The town you fell in love with? The food that you'd go back for? Talk about the motorcycle shops along the way. We all love a warm friendly face. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so use them to help others share your experience.

WORK has begun to protect the livelihoods of nearly 600 workers made unemployed by the collapse of Scottish Coal.
Energy minister Fergus Ewing has chaired the first meeting of the Scottish Open Cast Mining Taskforce, which he announced last week in response to Scottish Coal going into liquidation with the loss of 590 jobs.
The group includes representatives of affected councils, the Coal Authority, the relevant unions, the Scottish Government and its agencies, environmental agency Sepa and the UK Government.
Cross-party parliamentarians representing the coal field communities affected are also involved.
Mr Ewing said: "I very much welcome the intense work being carried out by all parties to date to try and save jobs, including the work by the local authorities involved.
"Our main goal in our discussions with all relevant parties today was to focus on the retention of as many Scottish Coal jobs as possible.
"The Scottish Open Cast Mining Taskforce brings together all relevant stakeholders including communities, councils, land owners, coal operators.
"I also welcome that it has cross-party representation from the relevant local parliamentarians and that the UK Government is sending senior officials.
"The taskforce includes a wide range of expertise linked to the open cast sector and will, I hope, help drive forward options to save and create jobs in the sector. I look forward to working with the group as we continue to do everything possible to save jobs.
"The main outcome of today's meeting was the unanimous agreement that the objectives of the group should be the pursuit of an outcome that protects as many jobs as possible, maintains a sustainable business model for the sectors and restores the sites.
"The taskforce further agreed to write to the liquidator to express the preference for the assets of Scottish Coal to be taken over by a substantial, well-capitalised company, able both to protect jobs and meet its environmental obligations, as well as avoiding cherry-picking of assets."
The taskforce, which will reconvene on May 15, was set up alongside the Scottish Mines Restoration Trust, which aims to facilitate the restoration of old open cast coal mines and create hundreds of jobs in the process.

|BACK OFF - he's MY Joey
|Pretty Girl Tina
Earlier today I had Tina outside and I thought she was never going to get her butt back inside. I was thinking how I'd love to measure my yard, then measure her stride length and then imagine how the yard much look to this very low to the ground girl. She was exploring everywhere - it must have felt like a 10 mile hike to her! She went to back of the yard, then she went to the front of the yard. On her way back, she rolled around on her back and then headed to scope out the back of the yard again. She looked so cute and so serious about her perambulation. I tried to get a couple of good pictures, but she was especially difficult. After all, she was busy and she had no time to be bothered by a human that doesn't even cuddle her correctly! ;) I did get this one picture of her which I really like. One of my favorite things about Tina is her curious expression - she has the "alert, but floppy" ears. And she has this little crinkle between her brows. It's so cute. Doesn't she look pretty? Her coat looks glossy, she's shed a few more lbs and she's just looking all around great.
Joey had a great time at his Pokemon event and spent every dollar he had while he was there. He got to show off his Japanese version to some people and they were apparently very impressed. :) They also got to see the next Pokemon movie free. And for seeing the movie, they got this giant sized Pokemon card as well. I took a picture of it next to my remote so you can see how big it is. I think he's going to frame it - and he really should. It's very cool. :) He also bought a shirt and a few other items. He even got some cool freebies - like some pokemon "starter" patches and even a pretty decent stylus of one of the starter pokemon. For all of you pokemon newbies out there - each new version of the game has 3 starter pokemon that you have to choose who to start your game with. It's a very big deal on which starter to choose. :) All in all, it sounds like it was POKETABULOUS trip to Indiana!
|We can rest ... Joey's home with us

East Point
East Point
Population: 35,401 (50% Human, 15% Gnome, 15% Halfling, 10% Other)
Military: Navy, 5,000 Active (50 Warships)
Continent: Kaleth – Province: Ocieniel
Climate: Temperate
Imports: Food Stuffs, Exotic Goods – Exports: Trade Port
East Point (Continued)
Main port city of the Ocieniel Province, East Point is the largest hub for trade goods in the entire province. East Point is also the start for most of the trade routes in the Ocieniel province. The dock can hold about 125 ships at any given time and is made up of an array of smaller ports.
East Port is managed by a council of merchant princes that preside democratically over the city. While the city owes its loyalty to the Sovereign King of the country and answers to the Duke, the Merchants are the life blood of the Province and use that fact to their advantage. While they abide by the Law of the King (known colloquially as Common Law), the Princes don't do much to stifle questionable trade that brings in a hefty profit.
East Point (Continued)
Local Customs
Quick Count (Appraise and Perception, varying Difficulties)
Mercantilism is the blood of the city and even the poorest vagabond has some experience in the art of appraisal. Locals can estimate the total value and unit value of collection of goods with surprising quickness. The difficulty and time required for the two checks is determined by the amount of items which also determines the amount of time needed. A dozen items is a standard action (DC 10), a hundred items takes 1 minute (DC 15), and so on.
The Value of Function (Appraise)
Part of a good negotiation is knowing what makes an item valuable so that the negotiation can play to the items strength. When appraising an item, if the East Point native's Appraise check exceeds 10 + the Caster Level of the Item, they can correctly identify the function of the magic item. Note this does not reveal anything else about the item (such as command words, schools of magic, caster level, etc).

A Sunday afternoon saunter around Palmiet River Lagoon (outside Kleinmond) to try and walk off some of Cassie's pent up exuberance.
The tide was high so we had to pick our way around the base of the sand dunes to get on to the firm flat sand.
Grasses on the dune tops swaying and tumbling like freshly blow-dried hair
Cassie was in her element with sand, water and a red ball to chase. Whenever she felt overheated she would wade into the lagoon to cool off.
Doggy pawprints ...
... people footprints ...
... and the delicate patterns left behind by wind and waves.
Wood, stone, wire, sand and water
A lone observer gazing thoughtfully out across the water.
We left reluctantly, feeling pleasantly tired. As usual Cassie was revved up for more exercise. I don't think I've ever seen her lie down and sleep after exercise. So much for all the theories ...

What Everyone Have To Understand About Real Estate SalesDespite what you might be hearing in some circles, there are plenty of homebuyers out there today. They're simply not interested in spending too much money for too little property. In this article, find out some great tips about how you can cater to homebuyers and give them exactly what they're looking for.
A seller will be more likely to accept your offer if they have confidence that you will be able to obtain financing on the property. To make sure they have this confidence, you will need to obtain pre-qualification from a lending institution showing up to what dollar amount you are approved to borrow.
To help you generate interest in your home, you should make sure your home and yard look good from the street. It should look well-kept and attractive. This will create interest from potential home buyers. Many buyers assume that neglected yards mean that the interior of the home was ignored as well. You should mow the lawn, fix the fence, plant flowers or whatever else may have been ignored. It will be well worth it.
Nothing is more true than the adage buy low and sell high. In today's market with foreclosures rising this cannot be any more true. Often times foreclosures are sold at less than face value, leaving you with a great opportunity to buy and re-sell at a marked up price. If you want to turn a profit in the real estate market, turning foreclosures is the way to go.
Your house should be a blank canvas. Just because you love brightly colored walls, a prospective buyer may not. If find out this here , prior to putting your house up for sale, paint the walls white or another neutral color. A buyer needs to be able to envision the house as their own, which is much easier to do when not faced with your favorite colors. Another plus to painting your walls white is it reflects the light, making the rooms look larger.
One important tip when it comes to real estate is to put vanilla extract in an oven safe dish and turn the oven on low. This will help to give your house a welcoming scent, which is an extremely important factor to your prospective buyer. This method is not as obvious as a candle would be, and ensures that you are not trying to cover anything up.
If you are selling your home you need to be particularly careful about the way that you price the home. You want to find out the price of the most expensive and least expensive homes in your area and stay somewhere in the middle. If you price the house too high and need to keep reducing the price it will give a warning sign to potential buyers.
Making necessary home repairs is the absolute first priority in putting a house on the real estate market. Repairs should be completed before a property is assessed, financing is solicited or agents are hired. A home that has been brought up to its maximum potential before the sale process begins will always fetch a higher price.
If you have significant experience with the real estate market, consider selling your home FSBO (For Sale By Owner). This is the industry shorthand for selling a property on your own, without the services of a real estate agent. It is not as simple as the alternative, but you can save significant money by avoiding agents' commissions.
When your home is ready for sale, make it as presentable as possible by eliminating clutter and reducing your furnishings to the bare necessities. In real estate the impression of spacious rooms is just as important as actual square footage, and your house will always present itself better if you clear out every expendable space-taker.
Little things count when trying to sell your home, so make sure the interior is clean. Window sills, stove burner pans and other rarely cleaned areas need to be clean. Potential buyers want to imagine themselves in your home, not think about all the cleaning they will have to do if they buy the house.
When selling your house, you need to be very wary of the buyers that ask you to take back financing. There are so many banks and mortgage companies that can help them out, you should have http://goodmanpcmynkiqup.hazblog.com/Primer-blog-b1/Leading-Tips-For-Getting-One-Of-The-Most-From-Business-Realty-b1-p29.htm to do with the financing aspect. You are not a banker, and you shouldn't need to take on that responsibility.
As was stated in the beginning of the article, learning important details about http://www.theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/searching-for-a-home-tips-and-tricks-for-first-time-homebuyers/article30487312/ selling process can prove to be helpful. Apply the information you learned from reading this article into selling your home. By following this advice, you may find yourself more confident when you sell your home.

13-14 August 2011
Although not on the early season schedule, the Lionheart got added in July. It was seen as an opportunity to gain further points in the 3man category competition and also boost Team Carpe Vitam (the 3man team that Todd of Commie Bar races with) to a solid podium finish for the year in the East Coast Adventure Racing Series.
I got down to Ohiopyle on Friday afternoon and got some gear straightened up and ready to race. I then went over to the registration at Wilderness Voyagers around 6:30 to meet Stephen and Jason from Carpe Vitam. Jason was a new addition and what an addition he was! A nationally ranked decathlete who proved to be extremely (too?) strong and also a fierce competitor.
Anyway, we picked up maps and punch cards and hung around a bit to plot grid coordinates and do some preliminary route selection. We then headed back to the hotel to finish the planning phase.
At the hotel, we plotted the segments and knew we'd have a good shot at collecting a bunch of optional points if things went well. The progression of the race looked like this:
Segment 1: An opening prologue of a 10k run to separate the teams.
Segment 2: Mountain bike
Segment 3: Trek
Segment 5: Ropes section and 140foot rappel
Segment 6: Trek
Segment 7: Mountain Bike
Segment 8: Optional Bike orienteering Course for optional points
Segment 9: Mountain Bike
Segment 10: Orienteering Course on Foot for optional points
Segment 11: Mountain Bike to finish
Here's how the segments went:
The opening prologue was something that I didn't particularly look forward to. Starting off a 24hr course with a 10k flat out run doesn't fit well with my strengths of slow and steady. Of course, Jason averages 5 minute miles during his training but that wasn't going to happen here! We settled in a comfortable pace of probably 9 minute miles and we were also carrying packs. We made it out to the point and collected the punch then started the jog back. We were in the front third of the race pack and there were a lot of teams walking this initial section. After we got back we further supplemented the packs with food and water for what we figured would be the next 9-11 hours. We saddled up the bikes and hit the trail.
Segment 2: Mountain bike the Baughman Trail
After about 15 minutes I knew something was terribly wrong. For some reason my legs felt absolutely dead! They were definitely not firing and I found myself pushing the bike on even the gentle grades. That and I had made a serious error in forgetting to load water bottles on my bike. Oh no, I thought. This race is over at 2 hours for me. Dehydration and energy levels so low that I was getting dizzy.
Thankfully Stephen and Jason took some weight out of my pack as I plodded up the mountain. We made okay time but I knew I held them up as we neared the top. I also knew that I may have some time to recover on the trek and then the paddle. Gotta keep going I thought to myself…..
Segment 3: The trek to Confluence and the put in spot of the paddle.
The trek was fairly short and simple as we made our way further over the mountain. I had begun to recover somewhat and was really looking forward to feeling the cold water of the Yough. Both Stephen and Jason had thankfully taken some load off my back and I think that helped a lot. The last part of the was on a bike trail and I remember jogging slowly but now I'm having a hard time remembering the initial part of the trek. I really must have been out of it.
Segment 4: The paddle back to the main transition area. We figured on about a 12 mile paddle or so. Jason and I loaded in one kayak and Stephen in another. We headed out and into the fairly flat waters of the lower Yough. With 2 men in the lead kayak we could have easily out paddled Stephen all by himself so we hooked up a 50' throw line to Stephens boat to "tow" him and keep the boats together. This worked well as we overtook several teams on the paddling section before taking out back at Ohiopyle.
Segment 5: Ropes and rappel. This was pretty straightforward as we were directed to a massive railroad bridge over the Yough river. We grabbed our harnesses and ATCs then got safety checked then climbed up and over the rails of the bridge, hooked in, and then made the 140 foot rappel down to the river where we punched in and then trekked back up to the top of the mountain.
Segment 6: The trek back to the bikes on
. From the rappel, we continued and basically back tracked our initial bike route (this time on foot) back up Baughman Mountain . I was feeling absolutely great by now and we made great time up the mountain. In fact we trekked up to the top in just about the same amount of time it took us on bike during segment 2. Baughman Mountain
Segment 7: MTB to Hopi Camp and the Bike Orienteering section. We left the bike transition area quickly and everyone was feeling good. It was now almost 7pm and our hope was to get to Hopi Camp before dark. Unfortunately disaster set in quickly. On the final climb up to Hopi Camp, the chain on Jason's bike broke. I quickly made the repair in about 10 minutes and we were back enroute. Then the chain broke again! This time the repair took about 25 minutes as were shortening the chain with every breakage. It didn't look good and I was unsure whether the repair would hold.
Segment 8: Optional Bike orienteering. We check in at Hopi Camp and made a decision to NOT pursue any more optional bike points because of the condition of Jason's bike chain. Very wise call because on the way out of Hopi Camp, Bang, it happened again. The chain was broke.
Segment 9: The chainless mountain bike section back to transition.
We all knew that the route back to the main transition area was mostly back down the Baughman mountain so in effect Jason could "coast" back down. The main question was what do we do from there? So we turned on our lights and helmet head lamps and rode the rough singletrack in the dark back down with Jason coasting behind us and then running the short uphills with his bike. I'm sure everyone was wondering if the race was over for us. I know that thought went thru my mind.
Back at the transition we knew we had to figure out how to continue. Jason offered to run his bike the remainder but we knew that would be impossible. We reviewed in depth the maps and came up with a plan. Our thought was if we could tow Jason and his bike for the initial flat section then we could all push our bikes up the Mitchell trail to the top of the mountain. No one could ride that anyway and it was the most direct (and of course STEEP way up to the top). We quickly dug threw our gear bin and came up with a 20 foot rope and two bungies. We hooked one bungie to Jason's bike then knotted it to the rope and duck taped it. On the other end we hooked a bungie to Stephen's bike and did the same. Would it hold for 15 miles of towing? That would be the question. We slowly started off and it was working! We actually even began hammering the course! We made it to
and everyone was estatic. That is until we saw what was ahead of us as virtually had to drag our bikes up an almost vertical trail for the next mile or so. Stephen did an amazing job of putting the pedal down to get us down the bike path. Mitchell Trail
At the top, Jason ran the bike the remainder couple of miles into the transition area. So far our plan was working. Of course it helps when you have a teammate that can push/run his bike as fast as you can ride yours!
Segment 10: Orienteering on foot.
We check in our 3 bikes (and one without a chain) at the top of the mountain and the race organizers were amazed! It was now a bit past midnight and we would have 6 hours or so to collect as many optional points as we could. This is where the race would be won or lost. We quickly planned a route to try and get 4 points knowing this would be about 15 more miles of trekking. We headed back down the mountain to the cliff area and began to pick our way up the rock face to the top where we collected OP 1 (optional point #1). We descended and then debated going back up the trail to the transition area and continuing from there or paralleling the bike trail along the river and going back up Johnson Run Trail. We chose to stay low and this was the best move. We walked the fairly flat bike trail along the river for several miles. All of us turned our headlamps off and just went by moonlight. These are the times in adventure racing that I love. It was 1am and the world was asleep except for us. We were living in the dark in nature. My feet were beginning to blister inside my shoes and I had some angry chafing going on in my shorts but the sounds of the river and a distant train whistle kept my mind off the pain.
Before I knew it we were turning off the bike trail and starting up
. This drainage slowly made its way back to the top of the mountain and along here we picked our second optional point. Back at the top we made a decision to go for two further points that would take us quite a ways away from the transition area. We plodded along the gravel road and then set our compass headings and got our pace count going for the hardest point to find in a stream somewhere in the dark of the woods. We nailed it. Compass heading of 167 degrees for 250 meters off the trail and we walked right over it! I love that feeling! From there we continued up a jeep trail to the ruins and collected our 4th point. It was now about 4am and we had to make it back to transition by 6am. We knew we could do it and maybe have a shot at another point. Johnson River
We got back and it was 5:30 or so. Now the grumbling of thunder was becoming louder and soon the skies opened up in a torrential display of rain and lightening. Here's where it gets fun, I thought! It was absolutely pouring and we quickly changed shirts and added rain jackets to our arsenal. We had to get one more what seemed pretty straight forward point. Well it was not straight forward. I quickly stowed my trekking poles as they were quickly becoming prime lighting rods and we trudged thru the building water on the trail. Time was getting crucial now and I was concerned we wouldn't have enough time to get back to the finish. If we missed the cut off time of 8am by 1 minute our race was DONE! 24 hours wasted. All of sudden I heard the familiar scream of Jason over the thunder and rain and all I could make out was "I found it"!!!! We quickly punched in and headed back to the bikes. We were happy but knew we still had a ways to go back to the finish. That plus we still had to tow Jason back…… We quickly debated trying to find another point. I was extremely concerned about time and thankfully the team made the right decision in moving back to the finish.
Segment 11: The Mountain Bike to the Finish.
We mounted up in the pouring rain and knew that to attempt a descent of the Mitchell trail in this weather would be not only foolish but crazy dangerous. We decided to hug a downhill road (remember Jason doesn't have a chain) back to the rail trail. This would add about 5 miles to the ride but it would still be flat. We quickly descended the road as the morning light began to peek its way over the mountain. Back on the rail trail we assembled the towing system and hooked it up. We started pulling Jason back to the finish. It was raining like crazy and Jason was just basically sitting on the bike being pulled thru the rain at 15 miles per hour. He was freezing and almost going into hypothermia but we had to get back and had an hour to do it. Also that supposedly flat bike path somehow developed a minor 3% grade on the way back!
Ultimately the towing system worked and Jason managed to not fall asleep nor freeze on the bike and we got back with about 20 minutes to spare. We signed in and finished our race. What an Adventure. We had covered close to 100 miles in the rugged terrain of the
Laurel Highlands of Western PA and succeeded.

Pair Celebrates Golden Wedding (1932) | Surnames: Delisle, Patton
Former Mayor Delisle and Mrs. Delisle of Caughnawaga Recall Old Times
(Special to The Gazette)
Caughnawaga, Que., June 19-
Andre Delisle (Chief Ta-Na-O-Ka-Te), former mayor of the Caughnawaga Reserve and a present member of the local council, and Mrs. Delisle, formerly Cecilia Patton (Ka-He-Ri-Ne) , celebrated here today their golden wedding, having been united in marriage fifty years ago today. They are 71 and 68 years of age, respectively. Seven daughters were born of their marriage and are all living and in excellemt health. The pair have also 19 grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
The venerable former Indian chief and former first magistrate of Caughnawaga is most highly esteemed by all the residents of the reserve, and is a churchwarden at the Caughnawaga United Church, and moreover has charge of the relief work for the Indian department at Ottawa, in this community.
Both celebrants were born and married in Caughnawaga. It was recalled yesterday at the anniversary festivities that Chief Ta-Na-O-Ka-To had travelled considerably from coast to coast during the early days of his life. The happy couple recalled that in those days the trails were very narrow and he and his companions often slept in the virgin forests or on the prairies. He further said that he had traded considerably with the United States Indians until the American Government imposed a duty on Indian hand-made goods.
