Benadryl vs Ativan Comparison
Drugs are available to help you feel better and treat illnesses that you suffer from. Not knowing what each drug is used for can be disadvantageous. Hence, when you compare Benadryl and Ativan, one should first what each drug is all about and then take whichever medication is ideal for the condition. The following is a description of both Benadryl and Ativan, and also the differences between the two drugs.
Known as the brand of Diphenhydramine, Benadryl is a highly popular drug that is used in the treatment of allergies, colds and even short-term anxiety conditions. The drug is well-known for its antihistamine properties and can aid in relieving symptoms like itchiness, watery eyes, nasal congestion, runny nose, rashes, hives, and other such symptoms. Benadryl has other extensive off-label uses.
This is a very important medication that is used to treat patients with different anxiety conditions. Ativan is the generic formulation of Lorazepam, which is a benzodiazepine that works by affecting the central nervous system. The drug is indicated for the short-term treatment of different anxiety conditions. The drug also has many off-label uses and the dosage is determined based on the condition being treated. Ativan helps restores the natural chemicals that are enhanced so as to get the body to fight the symptoms of anxiety. It is essential to take this medication only according to the doctor's instructions as otherwise the drug can easily build dependence and also cause severe withdrawal symptoms.
Benadryl vs Ativan – What are the differences between these two drugs?
Benadryl causes sleepiness as a side effect and not all users would be fine with this. Some persons may have allergies often or during particular seasons. Whatever be the case, taking Benadryl would help in controlling the allergy symptoms but would cause the individual to feel drowsy for a few hours. One should also be careful regarding potentially harmful drug interactions when other medications are taken at the same time. Ativan is very useful as the short-term treatment with this drug is enough to overcome the problem. There are lesser side effects and even fewer drug interactions. The main precaution with taking Ativan is the risk of withdrawal symptoms.
Both Ativan and Benadryl have their dissimilarities but they are effective for the conditions being used. One can decide on which drug to take by consulting with the healthcare provider. Ativan can be availed only with a prescription. With Benadryl there are many over-the-counter variants available on http://buzzpharmacy.net/ that may be used at any time get relief at any time without going through the hassle of getting a prescription for each allergic reaction. Go by the severity of your health condition while choosing one drug over the other. If taking Ativan for your anxiety or sleep problems, always do so only under the guidance of your healthcare provider. If Benadryl does not work very well for you then consult your doctor to get prescribed to take a more potent drug like Ativan for relief from your symptoms.

My favourite things
The last twenty six years have gone by in a flash – we're now in semi-retirement after having a gift and coffee shop in Helensburgh, stocking a variety of Scottish gifts, jewellery and home-baking. How we managed all the years of doing seven days a week I'll never know. It seems really surreal now.
The town has had a makeover, courtesy of Argyll and Bute Council, and now is the time for the new owners of our shop at 89 West Clyde Street, Helensburgh to put their stamp on our old business premises. Argyll Chandlers Ltd are targeting their business firmly at the local yachting/sailing fraternity – and, when we were driving round the Rosneath peninsula yesterday, we got a quick reminder of just how many folks own and berth their boats in the area.
The weather's much improved today in time for the official opening of the shop, so we're wishing Bill, Christine and family much success.
Star Trek Christmas Decorations
Handcrafted glass Christmas decorations in the form of a Tardis and a Dalek – whatever next? They're available from the BBC shop and have obviously been produced specially for them. If you've bought them (they're available at £30)
According to the BBC website –
BBC Shop Exclusive! Doctor Who Christmas tree decorations. Tardis and Dalek designs.
Dimensions:4 1/2″ high. Colour: TARDIS Blue Number of Items:1 Special Features: Glass; Gift box.
Dimensions:5″ high Colour: Red/Silver Number of Items:1 Special Features: Glass, with resin appendages; Gift box
I'd love to hear your review of these items.
Mira Showers
We had our downstairs bathroom remodelled this time last year. In fact, last year was the start of a traumatic journey because of some health issues and it was those health issues which inspired us to go ahead and create a walk-in shower in our downstairs utility area.
Since we moved into this house, we've had Mira showers of one kind or another. To be truthful, we've just had two of them – and between them, they've lasted 25 years. So, we're fans.
I came across some reviews for this shower and thought you might be interested:
"I bought this Mira sport shower unit to replace an identical model which we have had for years. It took our local plumber about 30 minutes to remove the old unit and replace with this new one. The plumber agreed that this is the best shower of it's type available at the moment, and Argos was by far the best price that I could find for this product."
"Easy to install and use. Nice and powerful and would recommend to others. Just make sure that you have a 40amp fused otherwise it will keep tripping the fuse box."
Skittles – Salt and Pepper Grinders
Although they're not new to the market, we came across these adorable salt and pepper mills which come with a small serving of peppercorns and salt crystals.
Adjustable Grind
Turn screw clockwise to tighten the mechanism and produce a fine grind, and anti-clockwise to produce a coarse grind. To re-fill the pepper or salt mill fully unscrew the knob and take off the top.
High Quality Materials
David Mason Design only use the highest grade materials. The design, manufacture and production of mills is tightly controlled to ensure quality throughout the process.
Spring Tension System
All mills incorporate a copyrighted "Spring Tension" system. This helps in the adjustment of the grinder via the "screw knob" for either pepper or salt depending on what is being used in your mill.
Professional Mechanisms
Advanced polyacetal – renowned for strength, durability and consistency of grind over time.
They're not cheap at £26.99 plus postage but they're great quality and such a nice gift for the skittlers among you!

Dickinson's first-known female graduate of color, the noted poet-activist Esther Popel Shaw, class of 1919, maintained a close relationship with her alma mater throughout her life, and she indicated to loved ones that she was grateful for the education she received at Dickinson. But her daughter, Patricia—now Patricia Shaw Iversen—did not share her positive view. Patricia applied to Dickinson in the 1940s at her mother's suggestion, but was told that while she could attend the college, she could not live in its all-white dormitories. Patricia elected to attend Howard University instead.
This chapter in Dickinson's history had been long forgotten until Sharon O'Brien, professor of English and American studies, uncovered it while researching the life of Esther Popel Shaw. O'Brien flew to Norway to learn more. This interview with Patricia is the result.
Learn about a new chapter in Dickinson's shared history with the Shaw-Iversen family.

I have tried it all and cannot say that I can use Refine Edge/Mask successfully. I have seen tutorials in youtube, in lynda.com, etc and they make it look so simple! I keep getting horrible grayish tones in the edge of hair. Please I am desperate. I am attaching a the mask used, the base image and the resulting image and the settings I used in the Refine Edge dialog box. Tell me what I am doing wrong!!
Juan Dent
That should be a reasonably easy selection, but I absolutely agree that Refine Edge is not half as intuitive as the tutorials make out. I'll try and give a few hints that will hopefully put you on the right track.
With an image like the above, think in terms of only using the Refine radius brush on the whispy hair, or little items that protrude from the bulk of the selection. Try to get the rest by using just the sliders and Smart Radius.
When using Quick Select, toggle on and off Quick mask to see if you are missing anything. I much prefer to have Quick mask set up with 'Color indicates selected ares' (double click the quick mask icon at the bottom of the tool bar to change this).
If you suspect you will need to fix the result of Refine Edge, chose to output to 'New layer with layer mask'. Add a new layer below that layer, and fill with a bright colour to increas contrast and help with touching up the Layer mask. You can Shift click the layer mask to temporailly turn it off to reveal anomallies.
If you are going to use the selection in another image, then duplicate the new layer with layer mask to that image. That way you can use the Mask Properties panel to refine the mask and fine tune to the new location.
Good luck.

On April 7th Robert Jasper, Ralf Gantzhorn and Jorg Heller climbed the west ridge of Monte Giordano in Tierra del Fuego's Cordillera Darwin. They christened the mountain "the Shark's Fin after the shape of the west ridge.
The ascent was part of a 6 week expedition to this incredibly remote area - an area which most mountaineers have kept away from over the years owing to the seemingly constant bad weather. This occasion was no different with the team being involved ina number of weather-related adventures including securing their approach boat to cliffs on one occasion to avoid heavy storms. Once on land they endured rainforests, deep marshland and rugged glaciers and had to abandon their planned base camp due to constant storms.
From Robert Jasper's web site (Words: Malte Roeper):
The peak is indeed so unknown that maps differ in the published heights and contradicting names. Because of the spectacular shape which reminded the team of a shark's fin Robert Jasper, Jörn Heller and Ralf Gantzhorn named it exactly this way. Their GPS gave them a summit-altitude of 1517 m, 500 meters less than the Chilean maps.
After the first ascent of Ironman (UKC News Report), one of the most difficult mixed climbs of the world, the first ascent of Shark's Fin was the second great success for Robert Jasper in 2012.
Write-up by Lyndsay Griffin on the BMC web site
Robert is appearing at this year's Kendal Mountain Festival as part of Marmot Night, Friday 16 November.

Living in Freiburg and working in Zurich, Florian Corthésy, the founder, crossed the 'rosti barrier' every day. He soon realized that while everyone had heard of and tasted the popular dish Rösti many Swiss people had never tasted products from their neighboring Cantons. For example people from Zurich enjoyed the Tirggel Luxemburgerli but had not tasted Cuchaule Bénichon Mustard from Fribourg. And few had ever tried the Longeole, typically a sausage from the Geneva region. And so the idea of HelvetiBox was born. Each month HelvetiBox takes you on a unique culinary journey through Switzerland to discover new flavors from the different Swiss Cantons.Learn More...

Lord Tebbit asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Transport (Viscount Goschen): The UK Government's views on the harmful effects of state subsidies to airlines are well known to the Commission. Where appropriate we back up those views by using the powers available to us under the Treaty of Rome to influence or challenge the Commission's decisions.
Lord Astor of Hever asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Scottish Office (The Earl of Lindsay): I am pleased to announce that my right honourable friend is allocating the painting The Return from the Flight into Egypt by the 16th century artist Paris Bordone to the National Galleries of Scotland. The painting has been accepted in lieu of tax arising from the death of Colonel W. J. Stirling of Keir.
Lord Avebury asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Minister of State, Home Office (Baroness Blatch): Responsibility for this matter has been delegated to the temporary Director General of the Prison Service, who has been asked to arrange for a reply to be given.
Letter to Lord Avebury from the Director of Security and Programmes, the Prison Service, dated 5th March 1996.
Lady Blatch has asked me, in the absence of the Director General from the office, to reply to your recent Question about prison rules and standing orders held on computer, and their availability to prisoners.
Current versions of the prison rules and some standing orders are held on computer for printing purposes only. Printed copies of the current prison rules and standing orders are placed in prison libraries for the use of prisoners. Copies of prison rules are made available to prisoners on request. Prisoners may also purchase copies of standing orders.
The Earl of Clanwilliam asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Ministry of Defence (Earl Howe): The homosexuality policy assessment team has, following an exhaustive and wide ranging consultation exercise involving personnel from all three services, together with staffs from overseas defence forces, now produced its report, copies of which have today been placed in the Library of the House. The team's assessment is that any relaxation of the existing policy is likely to have a detrimental effect on operational effectiveness. For that reason, the Government will continue to support the existing policy of excluding homosexuals from the armed forces.
The Ministry of Defence will shortly be submitting a paper of evidence, based on the team's report, to the Select Committee on the Armed Forces Bill to assist in its deliberations on the subject.
Viscount Montgomery of Alamein asked Her Majesty's Government:
Earl Howe: We have now completed an appraisal of the options for staff training from September 1997 until the opening of the permanent site of the joint service command and staff college. RAF Bracknell, Queen Elizabeth Park Barracks, Guildford, and the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst were examined as possible temporary sites for the new college. We have chosen RAF Bracknell and propose, subject to formal consultation, to open the new joint service command and staff college there in September 1997. The consultation document is available in the Library of the House. The Government intend to dispose of the Bracknell site by the end of 1999, by which time the new college should be well established at its permanent site.
Lord Lester of Herne Hill asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Chalker of Wallasey): There is no system of compulsory ethnic monitoring in the Diplomatic Service. Records based on voluntary declaration show that, at present, there are no declared ethnic minority officers employed in the senior grades.
Lord Judd asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Chalker of Wallasey: The situation in Burundi remains fragile. We maintain regular contact with the Burundi Government. I met the Burundi Foreign Minister on 22nd February in London and reiterated our concerns over continuing violence. We are giving full support to the efforts of the UN, OAU, regional leaders and the EU to promote political progress.
Lord Avebury asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Chalker of Wallasey: The OSCE through the assistance group is following the question of detainees as closely as possible, but it does not have sufficient information to draw up precise figures. The ICRC have visited 500 Chechen detainees and 200 Russian detainees--this represents numbers visited not total held. The ICRC further reports that, apart from occasional administrative difficulties, they have, generally, been granted full access.

Bi-colored, like Shamu. Only smaller. They have a white belly and throat, and are pale gray/buff to deep red/brown above. Young are gray above with white below.
Whale of a tail – their tails are always sharply bicolored, and more than half their head and body length put together. Hind feet have six pads each. Ears are large and bulging.
Common in rural areas of western U.S., from Mexico to the Yukon and Northwest territories of Canada. In eastern U.S., from Hudson Bay to Pennsylvania, southern Appalachians, Arkansas, and Texas.
Outside, they either move in or make their own home in burrows. Their favorite pieces of real estate are tree hollows, old fence posts, log piles, and abandoned nests and burrows. Inside, they live in wall voids, corners, small places in basements and attics, storage boxes, and stuffed furniture. Their home range is a roomy ½ – 3 acres, with up to 10-15 deer mice per acre in summer.
Share similarities with deer; includes seeds, nuts, berries, fruits, underground fungus and insects. Deer mice also have the foresight to store food away for winter.
Deer mice begin breeding at only 5-6 weeks old and give birth from early March through November. Gestation period is 21-24 days, and there are up to 4 litters a year, with 2-7 young per litter.
Deer mice aren't so bad after all. They're actually a vital member of the forest community. This is because they disperse seeds, which are food for other animals. When it gets cold outside, they seek shelter in garages, sheds, stored vehicles, and homes bordering wooded areas. They may get into stored food or nest in furniture. The worst thing is that they are primary carriers of hantavirus, similar to the flu, which is transmitted mainly by sniffing dust particles contaminated with the urine or feces of infested mice.
Talk about a tight squeeze. These mice can pass through a hole the diameter of a pencil. They're also excellent climbers. They are nature lovers, so are not usually found in cities or suburban areas, except those bordering parks or other wooded areas.
When dealing with this species of rodent, use care when cleaning up old evidence of droppings or urine, as they have been associated with hantavirus. Consult the C.D.C. (Center of Disease Control) website for information on hantavirus. Overall, the key to control rodents includes sanitation, elimination of their shelter, and rodent-proofing the structure. Cleaning up spillage will enhance the chances of rodents visiting control measures. Getting rid of rodent evidence allows monitoring of the population control, while removing clutter and excess storage allows the setting of control measures and monitoring for population decrease. Exclusion is an important aspect of rodent control in structures. Most rodent problems are a result of indigenous species seeking food and shelter in our homes or businesses. Rodents also have an advantage; they can "flatten" their bodies to fit through openings (¼ inch for mice). A thorough inspection is important to identify entry points and to repair them, and is the only way to achieve long-term control in areas where this rodent is indigenous.
Once the entry points have been repaired, use of mechanical trapping devices is recommended. We do not recommend the use of rodenticides inside residential properties. When using any rodenticide, read the entire label prior to use. Follow all label instructions, restrictions and precautions.

Friday Aug. 29th found the Rivermet Gang joining about 170 other fine folks for the Fort Wayne Critical Mass ride. We had a lot of fun and look forward to more rides which will probably attract a larger group. From what we learned; the group has grown with each ride and based on the number or people that asked about the group during the ride I imagine it'll be over 200 for the next ride.
For anyone unfamiliar with the concept and purpose of Critical Mass rides should visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_Mass which provides a pretty good overview and primer.
If a picture is worth a thousand words then a video should save me a lot of typing. Check out this video made by David Spaulding and posted here with permission from the guys at What's Going Down(town). Be warned that it is in warp speed so you may get dizzy.

Why Do We Need Rain Gardens?
Why do we need rain gardens? Rainwater run off contributes to about 70 percent of the pollution in our rivers. Cleaner rivers are a goal of ours and we love to garden, so planting a rain garden, and installing rain barrels is a natural solution for us. Rain gardens are low maintenance and we are keeping the water where nature intended. The water soaks back into the soil and into the aquifer. Planting a rain garden may seem like a small part, but once you realize the amount of run off from you roof you would be amazed. Fittingly we planted our garden in the pouring rain on Mother's Day and we know we kept over 400 gallons of rainwater from going into the sewers in that one day; we have not had standing water for more then a few hours.
I am so glad we installed rain barrels. Not only have we kept a large amount of water from the storm sewers; we have had free water for out plants during this dry August.

Top Fort Knox Gun Safe Reviews
Fort Knox started out in the safe game has more than 30 years ago and has since grown to be one of the most trusted names in the gun safe industry. Fort Knox is proud to say that all of their models are made right in Orem, Utah and have even earned the reputation of "America's Best". It's important that you know exactly what kind of quality you are getting when purchasing a safe and eliminate the headache of quality questioning. The last thing you want is to have a large heavy safe delivered to your home and find that it's not of the quality you were hoping for. I find that Fort Knox only engineers and manufacturers high quality built right safes, so you can order with complete confidence.
Fort Knox is known to have a huge selection of security upgrades for several of their safe models, which is something unique that many other safe companies do not provide. Some of these features include corner bolts, a stainless steel barrier, extended body thickness, an additional steel liner, body steel thickness and an incredible ballistic metal upgrade that is capable of take three shots from a .44 magnum. In addition to security upgrades, Fort Knox provides complete safe customization including exterior and exterior color, hardware color, decal choices, lock type choice and safe layout options as well as tons of other great interior accessory upgrades. Although Fort Knox does produce some small handgun safes, they specialize in full-size long-gun safes.
Now that I've told you a little bit about the Fort Knox brand lets go over some key features that will play an important role in helping you decide which model safe best fits your needs. Since each and every situation is unique, I won't be able to simply to you what you need, I can only give you the tools to help you decide yourself. Let's take a very brief look into some of those features.

Fire protection is such an important feature to have no matter if you live directly next door to the fire department or in the middle of nowhere. The question should not be whether you want it or not, it's how much do you need and what will your budget will allow. Fort Knox provides their 1680°/ 90min fire protection rating in most all their models with the options to upgrade to 120min. Their entry-level safe the Maverick, has a fire protection rating of 1200°F / 45min, upgradeable to 60min.
An equally important feature to take into consideration is the actual strength of your new safe. This is where I feel Fort Knox really excels. They have such a great variety of upgradable security options for all of their models and provide some of the highest quality and thickest steel on the market.
Choosing the right capacity for your new safe is one of the more challenging puzzles to figure out. This is because it requires you to plan for the future not just the now. If you were to go buy a gun safe that fits your current collection perfectly what happens when you get that new gun you've been wanting? My point is, plan to grow into your safe now out grow your out of it. Fort Knox has a ridiculous amount of storage options to accommodate any collection from just a couple rifles all the way up to a ridiculous 100 long-gun storing capacity!
The aesthetics of your safe is an important feature, especially if you're planning on placing it somewhere visible like a living room or game room. That's why Ft Knox provides several exterior color options and finishes as well as some really sweet decals designs for the doors. Fort Knox really knows how to dress up a gigantic chunk of metal.
Another important thing to look for in a safe is a good warranty. You'll find that some of the more economically priced safes brands provide a much less than satisfactory warranty. Fort Knox knows that their safes are built with only the best materials and craftsmanship so they have no problem providing a comprehensive lifetime warranty on all of their safes.

The Legend
Coming in at the top, the Legend is FT Knox flagship safe and it's definitely for a reason. This safe comes standard with nearly every single security and accessory option and upgrade that Fort Knox offers. This thing is seriously the cream of the crop. The Legend is offered in four different sizing options: The Legend 6637, which is the smallest of the bunch at 36 cu. Ft. Then there is the Legend 7241, which is slightly larger at 45 cu. Ft. The next size up is the 7251, which has 57 cu. Ft. of space and then the largest of the bunch the Legend 7261 has a generous 69 cu. Ft. of space. In addition to the size options, there are also several different interior configurations for each size ranging from a max capacity of 57 long-guns down to mostly storage and just enough room for a few rifles.
The Legend comes with your choice of two different fire protection ratings, the standard 90 minutes at 1680° or upgradable to 120 minutes at 1680°. These incredible heat protection ratings are accomplished by using UL listed fireboard on all six sides of the safe and behind the door hinges. In addition to the fireboard, the Legend also incorporates two different types of door seals. The first seal is in place to protect your valuables from smoke damage until the second seal is activated. The second seal is a Palusol heat expanding seal that wraps around the entire door. Once this seal is exposed to access amounts of heat, it expands up to 7 times its size protecting your valuables from heat and smoke damage.
The security features on the Legend are unmatched. It is virtually impossible to break into this thing without some serious heavy machinery. This monster is made from a ¼" thick sheet of solid steel with a stainless steel liner. It also comes standard with steel corner bolts, a 5 to 1 patented gear drive system, drill deflector bolt guard, drill stop hard plates, re-locking devices and as with all Fort Knox safe, it is UL listed and approved. If you're looking for the absolute maximum protection, Fort Knox offers an Armaknox Ballistic Metal option that is able to with stand 3 shots from a .44 magnum. If you have items that are simply irreplaceable or too expensive to take the risk of being stolen, this is your safe.
Fort Knox includes an electronic keypad lock for quick access to your items, along with several other great features and customizable options. The Legend comes standard with a lighting package, dehumidifier and the electronic lock. You also get choose your interior fabric, exterior finish, hardware color and graphics for you door.
The warranty on any Fort Knox gun safe is very hard to beat. It is a lifetime replacement warranty to the original owner that covers, fire damage, flood damage, break-in and break-in attempts and of course manufacturers defects. This warranty even covers the locks, which is rare.
If you are looking for the best of the best from Fort Knox, this is it.

The Titan from Fort Knox is near top of the line just under the Legend. This safe comes standard with more security features than most other brands top of the line fully upgraded model. The Titan comes in 5 different sizing options and capacities. The Titan 6031 is the smallest of the bunch offering 25 cu. Ft. and a max long-gun storage of 32 guns. The next step up is the Titan 6637, which offers 36 cu. Ft. of space and max long gun storage of 48 long-guns. The middle of the road is the 7241, which a total of 45 cu. Ft. and can a maximum of 57 long-guns. The Titan 7251 features a 57 cu. Ft. interior and can hold about 73 long-guns. The largest of the Titan line provides 69 cu. Ft of interior space and can hold a maximum of 82 long-guns. The Titans interior has 8 different interior options allowing different configuration options allowing for a wide variety of different storage options. Let's take a look at some of the features that make up the Titan series.
The Titan provides 90 minutes of fire protection at 1680°F by incorporating UL listed fireboard on every single side of the safe including the door hinges. In addition to the fireboard, Fort Knox incorporates the heat expanding seal by Palusol that expands up to 7 times the size and protects your valuables from smoke and heat damage. If you feel the 90 minutes is not quite enough for your situation, Fort Knox provides the option to upgrade to a 120-minute fire protection rating.
This safe also provides ample standard security features that are not even available on other brands most premium models. The Titan starts with unibody construction made from 3/16" high quality solid steel shell and an inner steel liner that adds additional security. The Titan also comes standard with star corner bolts that completely seal all four sides of your safe as well as the 5 to 1 patented gear drive system that has proved itself to be on of the most reliable locking systems available. In addition to these great security options, nearly every Fort Knox safe includes a drill deflector bolt guard, drill stop hard plate, remote locker and a back up re-locking device. The only security option that is not included in the Titan is the stainless Steel Package and the ¼" steel upgrade, however it is still available for an additional cost.
The Titan, along with all other Ft Knox long-gun safe models, offers a fully customizable exterior and interior, which is definitely one of my favorite features from Fort Knox. With 19 different color options and 3 different finish choices, you will surely be able to find an awesome color combination that fits your home perfectly! The interior of the safe is just as customizable as the exterior and offers 8 different configurable layout options to either hold as little or as many long-guns as you need. The Titan comes with a dehumidifier and has the option to included lighting, an electronic lock and a door rack.
Fort Knox provides an incredible comprehensive lifetime warranty on all of their safes. This warranty protects you against flood damage, fire damage, damage due to break-ins or break-in attempts and of course manufactures defects. As long as you are the original owner, Fort Knox will replace or repair your safe for free.
The Guardian series from Ft Knox has all the features and amenities anyone could hope for in a safe, and of course is made right here in the USA. The Guardian is near middle of the road in the Fort Knox line of safes and like the other models, comes in a variety of sizes and capacities. It includes 5 different sizing options along with your choice of 8 different configuration options to choose from. They range any from the smallest being 25ft cu. Ft of storage space, up to the largest size providing a generous 69 cu. Ft. of interior space. The interior storage configuration options included in the Guardian are extremely diverse, offering an option for someone who is just in need of shelving for collectables all the way up to a safe decked out with a gun rack big enough to hold over 80 guns and everything in between. I find Fort Knox to definitely be one of the most customizable safe brands out there.
Fort Knox provides a 90 minutes of fire protection at 1680°F standard on nearly all of their safes with an option to upgrade to a protection level of 120 minutes at 1680°F. Most people do find that the 90-minute rating is enough for their situation, but if you live far from the fire department and your safe is going to be tough to access in the event of a fire, I would consider the 120 minutes option. Ft Knox uses several layers of UL listed fireboard in the guardian as well as dual activated thermal door seals that protect your items from heat and smoke damage.
The Guardian series also offers significant security features that I find to be better than most other brands most expensive flagship safes. The feature that I find most fascinating is there star corner bolts, which are arrow shaped steel bolts that secure each corner of the safes to door to the body. This feature prevents the safe from being pried open from the corners, which tends to be a weak spot on most safes. In addition Guardian comes standard with a reinforced fire door, 5 to 1 patented gear drive, quadra fold doorframe and a complete unibody construction for maximum strength. Along with all Fort Knox safes, the Guardian incorporates a drill deflector bolt guard, drill stop hard plate, manipulation resistant lock and of course is UL listed.
Aesthetically, the Guardian is designed to enhance the feel and look of any room it's in. This safe will be a great conversation piece and is perfect for game rooms, living rooms, offices and practically anywhere else. I really like that Fort Knox offers such an awesome array of colors and finish choices instead of the typical generic black. They are also one of the only safe companies to provide you with a choice of several different logos designs, scrollwork, and patterns. The Guardian comes with an option to add a light package, an electronic keypad lock, door rack and dehumidifier.
Fort Knox offers an amazing lifetime warranty that I find to be one of the best in the industry. If your safe is damaged in a flood or fire or has been damaged due to a break in attempt, Ft Knox will replace or repair your safe for free! It also covers you from manufactures defects.

Fort Knox design the USA made Protector to stand on the more economically priced side of their lineup, but even with economical price tag, the Protector still provides plenty of great features and options to satisfy nearly anyone. This safe comes with tons of different sizing and capacity choices so you can really nail down the exact size that best fits your home and collection. There are 7 different sized models of the Protector series ranging from a small 10 cu. Ft. safe that has just enough room for a few long-guns all the way up to a massive 69 cu. Ft. options that is capable of storing more than 80 long-guns. The interior also comes with your choice of 8 different layout configurations to fit your safes specific purpose. Now that we've briefly covered the storage options that are available for the Protector, let's take a look at some of the features that comes with this safe.
Even though the Protector is part of the more affordable line from Fort Knox, it still comes standard with 90 minutes of fire protection at 1680°F. You'll find that a fire protection rating that high is common only among the higher end safes from other brands. Ft Knox uses UL listed fireboard on all six sides of the safe as well as a Palusol heat expanding seal that expands 7 times it's size when exposed to high amounts of heat protecting your goods from heat and smoke damage. Make sure you check out my article on fire protection to get some great advice on how to choose how much fire protection you actually need.
The Protector series comes with some great standard security features as well as a lot of great optional upgrades for additional security. This safe includes a reinforced fire door, a quadrafold doorframe and a 7ga. Steel unibody construction. If you like the Protector but want a little more security, you can add the star corner bolts, an inner steel liner or stainless steel package. Even without these upgrades, most people find that the standard security features of the Protector are enough for their situation. This model is also UL listed for security and has a drill deflector bolt guard, remote relocker, bolt detent, mechanical relocking devices and a manipulation resistant lock.
One of my favorite things about purchasing a Fort Knox safe is the ability to customize the interior and exterior to your exact liking. The exterior comes in 18 different color options and 2 different texture types along with 2 different interior fabric choices. Another thing unique to Fort Knox is the option to choose out of a few different Ft Knox logo designs and artwork. For an additional charge you can add a lighting package, dehumidifier, door rack, electronic keypad lock and several more cool accessories.
The Protector comes with the Fort Knox comprehensive lifetime warranty, which covers your safe from fire damage, flood damage, break-in attempts and manufactures defects. It also covers the mechanical and lock portion of your safe, which is very uncommon.

The Defender series is one of Fort Knox more economically priced safes and has the exact same standard security features as the Protector. This series was designed for people who aren't necessarily looking for an overly aesthetically pleasing safe and are looking for something especially durable for their garage or shop. The Defender also comes in a wide variety of shapes and sizes just like the Protector. The smallest size comes in at just 10 cu. Ft. holding just a few shelves or long-guns while the largest of the line has 69 cu. Ft. with the ability to hold a ridiculous 100 guns. The Interior of the Defender comes with your choice of 8 different layout configurations to fit your specific needs. Let's take a look at the features of the Defender.
What I love about Fort Knox is that they provide excellent fire protection even on their more budget friendly safes. The Defender series has the same fire protection rating as their flagship safe, the Legend, with 90 minutes at 1680° and upgradable to 120 minutes for an additional cost. Most other brands entry level safes provide less than half of the fire protection that the Defender offers, which is yet another reason why I highly recommend considering Fort Knox.
The construction and security features of the Defender series are identical to the Protector series, offering a reinforced fire door, quadrafold doorframe and a 10 gauge steel unibody. If you're looking for some additional security for your Defender safe, Ft Knox provides several optional upgrades like their unique star corner bolts, an inner steel liner and their stainless steel package. The Defender can also be upgraded to a higher thickness of steel all the way up to ¼" thick body with a ½" thick steel doorplate. This series is a great value if you're looking for an extremely strong safe.
Stripped from all the fancy exterior options that the other models offer, the Defender is meant to be rugged and durable to withstand the rough environment of a garage or shop. The secret behind its enhanced durability is the thick zolate finish that protects your safe's finish from scratches and scuffs that would normally start to collect when sitting in a rough environment. The Defender comes in 4 different durable textured finishes, dark granite, gray granite, black and a lighter colored option called rimrock. This safe comes standard with a mechanical lock but does have the option to be upgraded to an electronic lock. Some popular additional upgrades include, a fluorescent lighting package, door rack and dehumidifier.
Fort Knox includes their comprehensive lifetime warranty on the Defender, which covers fire and flood damage, break-in attempts and manufacturers defects in every aspect of your safe including the lock. I find this warranty to be one of the best warranties available.
The Maverick is Fort Knox' entry level, most economically priced safe that they offer. Just because the Maverick has a great price tag, doesn't mean that it lacks in construction or functionality. This safe comes in a variety of 6 different size and capacity options allowing you to pick out the perfect size for you application. The smallest of the Maverick lineup provides 8 cu. Ft. of storage space perfect for storing just a couple long-guns. The largest of the series is a 41 cu. Ft. model that provides storage for up to 57 long-guns. The interior of the Maverick is completely customizable and provides 8 different layout configurations to fit your specific needs! That is such a rare option on most brands entry-level designs.
The fire protection rating is slightly lower than all of the other models from Fort Knox but is still substantially higher than any brands entry-level safes. The Maverick provides 45 minutes of fire protection at 1200°F through the use of UL listed fireboard in all 6 sides of the safe. Also included are two different types of door seals, the first is a basic seal that will protect your valuables from smoke damage until the second seal becomes activated. The second seal is a Palusol heat-expanding seal that grows 7 times its size to protect your valuables from being damaged by smoke and heat.
The security features that come standard in the Maverick safe are the reinforced fire door, quadrafold door frame, concealed ball bearing hinges, folded door and an 11 gauge steel unibody construction. If you're wanting more than just the standard, the Maverick has completely customizable security options including a ballistic metal upgrade, corner bolts, stainless steel reinforcement, thicker body and an inner steel liner. Ft Knox believes that even entry-level safes should still provide a high level of protection and keep intruders from accessing your goods. They even urge you to compare the Maverick to other manufacturers high-end safes. Do not dismiss this just because it is labeled as entry level.
The Maverick comes in a variety of different color, textures, and finish options to make your safe unique. With nearly unlimited exterior, interior, and hardware color combinations. I find this to be the best part in picking out a safe from Fort Knox. In addition to the awesome color choice, the Maverick is compatible with several awesome accessory options including a fluorescent lighting package, an electronic keypad lock, door rack, dehumidifier and more!
The Maverick comes with the Fort Knox comprehensive lifetime warranty that covers your safe from manufacturers defects, flood damage and fire damage. It also includes the lock, unlike most manufacturers. Fort Knox will replace or repair your safe for free. You'll be hard pressed to find a warranty that is this good.

Bottom Line
Fort Knox is simply one of the best safe manufacturers out there and provides only the best, highest quality safes on the market. Their safes are completely customizable and provide numerous security and accessory upgrades and options that are not found in any other brand. If you're on the hunt for a safe, you should definitely consider a Ft Knox.
When picking out your safe, make sure that you completely understand the importance of pick out the right safe that best fits your needs. Safes are extremely heavy and tough to place, so the last thing you want to do is have to pay someone to remove the old safe and bring in the new one especially when it's avoidable. Make sure to consider fire protection, strength, capacity, lock security and aesthetics. If you need help on deciding what you exactly need in a safe, check out my article "What to look for in a safe".
The maverick is the most popular, best-selling safe series from Ft Knox. This is due to its outstanding security and fire protection features that are comparable to most other manufactures mid-live safes. If you're considering a Fort Knox, this is definitely a great place to start.

Thank you for putting together a good trip on such short notice. We had a great time. Being at Anifield for Steven Gerrard's last game was just a remarkable experience and to be able to share it with my son was just a heart-warming experience. So thanks for making this a trip that we will both remember.
As usual, every aspect of the trip was great. Hotel Indigo was a good choice though I think I would have taken Hilton if it had been available. But we walked a lot which was good as we ate quite a bit since there was no wife/mother to restrain us, visited most of the museums and did some shopping at Liverpool One.
Michael, the designated driver for the rest of the trip was funny in a very British way and he was very punctual. Brian, the driver on the first day, was also good and was apologetic about the delay. He tried and showed parts of Liverpool as we drove by but we were rather tied by the flight then and dosing off. Brian tried his best to remedy the situation.
The Hospitality package is great as was the stadium tour. And what made my son most happy was the signed jersey which was one of the highlight of the trip.
So, overall, it went very well. We have many wonderful memories between father and son and thanks for making the memories.
I also want to add that I very much appreciate your quick response when I texted about the delay with the transfer on arrival. I had no doubt that you will resolve it quickly and would pay personal attention to it. Such things happen (unfortunately) and what is important is in the recovery and I do value the personal effort taken to resolve the delay quickly.

The city of Johannesburg has various services in place to ensure the safety of its more than 3.5 million residents. The city shares this task with the provincial and national governments.
The Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD), the South African Police Service (SAPS) and Gauteng's Traffic Police work closely together to keep Johannesburg safe for everyone. Where problem areas have been identified (such as certain areas in the inner city) private security guards have been deployed on a full-time basis. These private security vehicles and guards are also constantly on patrol in the city. Johannesburg also has 231 CCTV cameras in the inner city to further curb crime.
When in uniform, officers wear service and rank insignia as well as a name badge. You have the right to ask officers to identify themselves with their identity cards whenever they approach you.
Safety Tips
Although the city of Johannesburg makes every effort to keep its residents and visitors safe, no city is completely crime-free. To protect yourself and your possessions, please take note of the following safety tips:
1. Keep your valuables such as jewellery and mobile phones hidden whenever possible.
2. Keep high-tech equipment such as cameras on your person at all times.
3. Try to walk in groups as far as possible, especially at night.
4. Pickpockets usually operate where there are large crowds. Be sure to keep your valuables safely tucked away on your person.
5. Try to follow main routes when travelling and stay in well-lit areas at night.
6. Hitch-hiking is dangerous. Do not pick up strangers or accept rides from people you don't know.
7. When driving, stow your bags and other valuables out of sight, keep your doors locked and be vigilant when stopping at intersections.

Finding Aid to the Maria Chabot Papers, 1866-2002, undated
Georgia O'Keeffe Museum
217 Johnson Street
Santa Fe, NM 87501
Collection Overview
|Georgia O'Keeffe Museum
|Maria Chabot Papers
|1866-2002, undated
|74.4 Linear Feet
|The Maria Chabot Papers documents the life and work of Maria Chabot. The bulk of the items date from 1933 to the 1990s. They are biographical materials, correspondence, research, writing, materials related to her friendships, and materials related to her interests and many projects in the American Southwest.
Biographical and Historical Note
Maria Chabot (1913-2001) was a writer and an advocate for Native American and Spanish Colonial artistic traditions. Chabot's paternal grandfather was British consular agent at San Luis Potosi, Mexico in the 1860s. He later settled with his family in San Antonio, Texas where Chabot was born on September 18, 1913. In 1933, at nineteen years old, she traveled to Mexico City. There she met painter Dorothy Stewart and her sister Margretta Stewart Dietrich and notable Mexican artists including Jose Clemente Orozco. Chabot accepted Stewart's invitation to return to Santa Fe, New Mexico with her in 1934, where she took a job with the New Mexico Department of Vocational Education, and then in 1935 with the federal Indian Arts and Crafts Board. Under the auspices of these agencies and as part of a Works Progress Administration (WPA) initiative she photographed and documented Native American and Spanish Colonial arts and crafts in the Southwest. In 1936, with New Mexico Association on Indian Affairs president Margretta Dietrich, Chabot helped to establish Santa Fe's "Indian Market" as a weekly event modeled on Mexican outdoor markets and held under the Santa Fe Palace of the Governors portal. She also proposed that native artists be allowed to set their own prices. These art markets became the popular annual Santa Fe Indian Market.
Through her association with Stewart and work with the WPA Chabot met Mary Cabot Wheelwright, founder of the Museum of Navajo Ceremonial Art (renamed the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian.) Wheelwright became Chabot's benefactor and employed her to manage her property, the historic Los Luceros hacienda in Alcalde, New Mexico. Chabot oversaw labor and supervised agriculture. She also became president of the local irrigation association, an unusual position for a woman at the time, and adjudicated disputes over water rights. Chabot was deeded Los Luceros after Wheelwright's death but sold it in the 1960s.
Wheelwright introduced Chabot to Georgia O'Keeffe in New Mexico in 1940. Chabot was twenty-six and an aspiring writer and O'Keeffe was fifty-three and an important artist. From 1941 to 1944, Chabot spent summers with O'Keeffe at the artist's Ghost Ranch house. Chabot had intended to write, but spent most of her time managing activities at the ranch. She also often accompanied O'Keeffe on camping trips throughout northern New Mexico on which the artist created many of her paintings. In 1946, Chabot agreed to manage the rebuilding of an adobe hacienda on a hilltop in Abiquiu, 48 miles northwest of Santa Fe. She supervised the building crew and participated in design decisions for what became O'Keeffe's primary residence. The friendship between Chabot and O'Keeffe endured until O'Keeffe's death in 1986.
In 1996, Chabot was named a "Living Treasure" of Santa Fe. She died in 2001, at eighty-seven years old, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

#WCW: Alyson Stoner reveals the six women who have inspired her most
You probably remember her best as "that little girl who dances her butt off in those Missy Elliott music videos." Or, maybe you remember her from one of her 25(!) movie roles, including the Step Up franchise, Camp Rock and Cheaper By the Dozen.
But now? Alyson Stoner is tackling the music industry. In fact, she has just released a brand-new video for her single "Woman." That's right: She sings, too — and she sounds fantastic.
More: 6 Things you didn't know Alyson Stoner has done since Missy Elliott
While we could continue to go on and on about our #WomanCrushWednesday this week (Stoner), we wanted to turn the tables on her and ask: Which ladies does she crush on? Who does she admire?
Here are Stoner's six most inspiring women — her #WCW picks, in her own words.
1. Fátima Ptacek
"[A] young actress best known for her role as Sophia in [the] Oscar-winning film Curfew and as [the] voice of Dora the Explorer, she's also an incredibly articulate and bright young lady advocating for equality, justice and education, among other pillars. We attended a film festival in Japan together where I learned how actively she uses her platform to bring to light important issues and propose positive, dynamic solutions. And oh yeah, she's 15. Talk about being able to learn something from everyone!"

2. Mother Teresa
"Her Do it Anyway poem hangs in my room as a reminder to see the bigger picture beyond my four walls, beyond my convenience and comfort, into the biggest love story for the world: giving of yourself for your neighbor."
3. HiHat
"She's a world-renowned expert in bringing creative entertainment to life. But to me, she's first a welcoming woman who gave a little girl a shot in Missy Elliott's music video. She's launched so many careers, and I'm forever indebted to be included in that group."
4. Jennifer Lopez
"She's a multihyphenate global icon, businesswoman, artist and fashionista. She inspires me to find beautiful, strategic and creative ways to interweave all my passions into one full and purposeful life."
5. Julie Higgins, founder of I Pour Life Organization
"The visionary/entrepreneur behind the nonprofit for which I'm goodwill ambassador, Julie is an example of love and leadership. She boldly serves others, finding their strengths and restoring their dreams and dignity to bring out their best."
More: 20 inspiring women making the world a better place for us all
6. Laverne Cox
"The earthshaking Laverne Cox. She could've kept all the focus on herself for her Emmy-nominated performance in OITNB. Instead, she used her platform to advocate for a life of authenticity, one beyond society's standards and expectations. She's inspired me to live honestly in my art and relationships."

Thanks to recent legislation, the federal governments offer big incentives for homeowners and businesses that invest in solar power. The vast majority of our installations are cash purchases by our San Francisco Bay Area solar customers. You get the best return on investment by purchasing and owning your systems, including the 30% federal tax credit. If it is a commercial system, you also get to use accelerated depreciation over just six years on the PV system, with 50% bonus depreciation in year one. These two government incentives alone can pay for 50% to 60% of the total cost of the system.
Finally, if Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) become active in California, the owner of the system gets the RECs. These can be thousands to tens of thousands of dollars per year for the life of the system. For all these reasons, ownership provides by far the best financial return on a PV system.
For commercial customers who prefer to not own their PV system, or for nonprofits that cannot use the tax benefits, Cobalt Power Systems Inc. offers zero cost Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
Are you ready to go green and start saving today? Learn more when you call our San Francisco Bay Area solar energy experts at (650) 817-7791. You can also contact us online.

Question: Do you wish you had done more as EPA chief regarding the climate crisis?
Christine Todd Whitman: I don't know.
They could have done more. There were some very strong feelings against climate change. And I was pretty direct in saying that I thought it was an issue we ought to take seriously, so I don't know what more I could've done. I always wish I've had more effect. Yes.

Green Tip: Attention, Green Spas!
This new product ups the ante on sustainability.
Today's eco-consumers are always looking for ways they can feel good about spending their money and, knowing this, modern innovators are responding to the demand. The latest trend? Products that literally live on after use. Consider, for instance, Sprout, a pencil that contains a seed capsule in its tip. It's a perfectly serviceable pencil that, once it becomes too small to use, can be planted in a bit of soil and watered. The seed then germinates and grows into something lovely, green—and living.
Sprout pencils, which are available in basil, cilantro, dill, mint, rosemary, sage and thyme, have taken off in Europe with companies looking to provide motivation to employees and customers in a sustainable way. In the simplest way, it inspires and teaches us that there are more opportunities to support our planet than we realize. (And yes, it's available in a private-label edition.)

Hi, I like the article about your green tips. This reminds mean of recycling the products. Yes, its true that we must be aware of spending our money for good. I am sure that this will help our environment as well. I would like to share my opinion on this also, I think, that we need to shop and concentrate more on green and leave the plastics behind.

Vnderbilt High School Indoor Recap
In the four years this meet has been on the indoor schedule, it's quickly become the gold standard for indoor track meets around the area. With 4 US #1 marks set and countless others in the top 5, 10 and 20 in the nation, this was the place to be to watch talented Track & Field athletes compete. And I said countless, but that wasn't entirely true, since all told, there were 76 top 20 performances at the meet.
Tyra Gittens, who said she was basically just starting out in her training and was shocked herself at how well she performed set a solid 20-11 mark in the long jump. That set the #1 mark in the country pretty quickly in this meet. Another top national mark was set when Hope Glenn flew across the finish line at 7.41 in the 60M dash. Niamh Schumacher rounded out the third girl to set a #1 national mark when she ran practically alone in the 2 mile dash in 10:25.44. Brian Herron was the sole male athlete to get the top #1 at this meet when his 400M finish time was 47.24. These athletes were incredible to watch and the most amazing thing about this, all the athletes that came in second or third or fourth or way down the line were still so very impressive and posted great times!
So those were the top performances at this meet. Well, top for the nation but believe me, the sheer number of fantastic performances at this meet was mind boggling to say the least. Tyra Gittens also set a #2 mark in the high jump, Brian Herron went 21.30 in the 200M that was just ahead of Charles Lewis who ran 21.42. This is winter folks! People aren't supposed to be running that fast this early!
Probably one of the most anticipated races was the 2 mile boys. And those words are coming from a coach that, and I hesitate to mention this, has typically been more interested in the sprint events. But believe me, you couldn't watch this race and take time to look at your phone or glance away, it was that exciting! Brody Hasty, Carter Coughlin, Titus Winders, Leif Anderson, Alex Mortimer, and Taylor Vroon made up a group of guys that busted top 20 marks in this event. I'd even say that Titus Winders put in a Super Bowl kind of comeback as he pulled in close to clinch third after being farther back in the pack earlier on in the race. That's six guys in one event to go under the top 20 national mark! And you know what, the boy's mile had seven. Yea, you read that right, seven under the top 20 national mark. Brodey Hasty set his first win with a fast 4:14.53. Then came Taylor Vroon (4:15.15), Dustin Horter (4:16.81), Ben Ewert (4:17.39), Conner Hawkins (4:17.78), Alex Mortimer (4:18.03), and Scott Thompson (4:18.03). Those guys were airborne! It's exciting just thinking about the race now!
Just after the finish of that first heat of the two mile race, the competitors in that heat started gathering around this guy with a light jacket and blue striped shirt. He was going over what they just did, and surprisingly enough he was pretty specific about how they just ran their races. And then he started talking about what's next and how to plan to run good races. The attention he was drawing from this young high school competitors was mesmerizing... and that's because it was Craig Virgin... this is the guy that beat Steve Prefontaine's 2 mile mark and has a huge list of success in cross country and track distance events. Now it's no wonder he was getting the attention of these talented 2 milers. And again, that's just one of the wonderful things the sport of Track & Field is - the athletes are always willing to give back to their sport. Is it ok to ask you now how much you love this sport!!
The boy's pole vault was a thrill as well. Jacob Sabota vaulted 16-1 and second to him was Hunter Mallard with 15-9. I happened to be watching one of the vaulters from about the start line of the 400M dash when the gun went off and a huge puff of smoke was lingering up in the air by the pole vault standards and it looked like one of the vaulters was flying through the smoke! Very surreal. But then, seeing so many vaulters going over the 13 foot mark in this indoor meet was a bit surreal in itself! Oh and speaking of 13, Carson Dingler won the girls vault with a soaring 13-1 vault. Carson and Courtney Long were giving a pretty spectacular lesson in vaulting. I watched a few vaults as Courtney seem to have to work to get into her rhythm, but quickly just climbed that hurdle and jumped to a 12-9. Again folks, its winter and I'm glad to see performances this strong!
If you were really paying attention to all the events going on, you would have noticed a group of guys competing in the indoor Pentathlon. Yes, those events were wedged in between all the other events and athletes competing on this great day of competition. This was the first ever Indoor Pentathlon held in TN! And yes, you would be absolutely correct if you guessed it... it was a huge success! Ten of these Pentathletes set national top 20 marks here! That's just astounding! Anthony Bryan set the record with 3416 points. The top ten were over 2800 points. This really was fun to watch. Second place was Skyler Lester (3271) and third was Kyle Costner (3246). All these guys that competed Saturday deserve a huge round of applause since their performances certainly proved that the Indoor Pentathlon is something we want to see stay in TN each and every year! Thank you KYA for doing this!
I was standing about halfway down the last straightaway watching as Kennedy Simon starting coming out of the last turn. Or should I say coming around the turn like she was shot out of a sling-shot! Kennedy was leaning into the turn like she had smoke coming off her shoes. Kennedy finished in 54.56 and looked as if she could go another lap like that (well, ok, maybe not, but she looked strong!). Gailey Lear was second, and I have to say in a scorching 55.20. Yep, 55.20 and got second, that'll tell you how fast this field was. As a matter of fact, third place was 55.77 by Ashton Lindley and fourth was 55.93 by Shianne Sipsey so no slouches in this meet by any means!
The girls 800 was fast. It was intensely fast. The race was won by Emoni Coleman in 2:12.99 that was just shy of the meet record. You had to be strong to race this race. It started out amazingly fast and strung out the field quickly. And this was a strong field to say the least. Second place was Emma Kuntz in 2:13.62 and third was Brynne Sumner who ran a 2:14.58. I'd like to note too that last year's runner up, Meghan Underwood, ran a 2:17 fifth place finish which was pretty amazing even though it wasn't the fastest she's ever run. What was amazing that on Monday she had to go to suddenly go to the hospital and have surgery to remove her appendix. Fastest TN indoor 800 time of the year and recover by getting surgery... you think this sport doesn't have some strong and awesome athletes!
Earlier we talked about Tyra Gittens getting that #1 mark for the long jump. Well, fourth place in that event was grabbed by Michele Vickers with an 18-8.5, then third by Avery McMullen in 18-11.5, and second by Daloria Boone with another huge performance with her 19-0 leap! That's some bounce for sure! Deloria also had the third fastest 60M run in the meet and believe me, getting a third in this meet in that event was a huge accomplishment!
And every year this meet has been run, the throwers have been phenomenal. This year is no exception to that with McKenli Forest taking first in the weight throw with a 55-10.5 mark. Actually, that was one of five throws over 52 feet in this event. Sydnee Walker (55-7), Natasha Samp (54-8), Grace Artis (52-03.25) and rounding out that group was Kathleen Young (52-03.25). Kathleen Young also won the shot with a 50-0 mark that I thought was going to go out of the stadium! That throw by the way, crushed the old meet record and was more than two meters past the second place throw in the event. These throwers were making the officials work at this meet for sure!
In the boys throws, Sam Sikon marked a throw that was in the US top 10 with his 18.89 meter toss. In English, that's 61-11.75. Just behind him was Joshua Sobota with a 58-10-75. The boy's weight throw was impressive as well with Madias Loper tossing the implement 68 feet and 9.25 inches! Sam Wright was second with his top 20 toss of 65-8.25. And trying not to sound too much like a skipping record, Macias's toss was a top ten national mark.
Well I know for sure I left off a lot of talented and awesome performances. But really, I'd be here writing for weeks talking about how much fun and how many great performances there were at this meet. I'd challenge you now to look through all the meet results and just soak in how many great performances. And if you were there watching, know that you saw these great athletes setting marks that were national bests and setting PR's that they will take into the spring outdoor season and hopefully, bring themselves to the next level where they want to be!
When you become a fan of Track & Field, you have to realize that you are a fan of one of the most pure of sports. If you watch little children as they grow up, as soon as they get to walk, they want to run... and being a parent, you know they're going to throw things as I've caught many a tossed something or other that was destined to be smashed... and yes, if it can be jumped, they'll jump it or try their hardest to jump it! So just come out to a Track meet and watch, you'll be amazed at how these athletes give it their all at each and every event! This past Saturday, we got to see some of the best athletes around the nation compete. And really, does it get any better than that!!
See you on the track,
Coach Ted
