The Smith & Wesson Model 10 Military & Police Revolver is the most successful handgun of all time. It is not the most powerful or the most accurate revolver. In fact it may not be the best gun for most uses but the genius of it is in its versitility. The Smith & Wesson Military and Police Revolver made its debut along with its revolutionary new cartridge, the .38 special, in 1899. The revolver has been manufactured largely in its current form since 1902 and has been produced with many variations for both commercial and military use. Its is estimated that about six million of these revolvers have been produced to date. Nearly all of them have been produced in .38 special. although British military contracts for the weapon were were designated the 38/200 British Service Revolver and were chambered in .38/200 which is essentially a .38 Smith & Wesson cartridge with a significantly heavier bullet. Until the 1980's when semiautos began to catch on in the United States this revolver was the standard in most American police departments. It still remains the standard in many although it has been largely supplanted by .357 magnum revolvers and numerous semiauto handguns. Commercial sales of the Model 10 have been in the millions and continue. Many military surplus and police department surplus revolvers are for sale in used condition today.
Even after a full century of technological advancements the Model 10 is still hanging in there as a reliable weapon with respectable stopping power. It has been produced in numerous variations over the last century but the square butt frame and standard weight 4 inch barrel is the most common. Even though semiautos are the norm now for police and military organizations it is unlikey that the Model 10 will disappear anytime soon. It is chambered for the popular .38 spl. cartridge and is weighted perfectly at 30.5 oz to make it very controlable for both novice and expert. Most of the Model 10's produced since World War II are also capable of handeling a limited amount of +P ammunition as well in an emergency situation improving their stopping power. It is simple to use and easy to maintain. Many early Model 10's still function flawlessly and have very smooth actions. A vintage Model 10 is usually superior in quality to the products Smith & Wesson currently produce.
The history of the Model 10 is one of unparalleled success. Its commercial demand has not ceased since 1899. Military use of this revolver reached its highest levels in World War II. The S&W Victory Model revolver is essentially a Model 10 with lanyard swivel and dull parkerized finish. Over 1.1 million were ultimately delivered to the U.S. government. By March of 1945 568,204 revolvers were also supplied to British forces chambered for the 38/200 cartridge. Old stocks of Victory Model revolvers supplemented with goverment purchases of additional Model 10's with commercial blue finishes were in use by the U.S. military until the 1980's. The British version proved quite popular as well and in 1947 Smith & Wesson resumed production of the Military & Police revolver in 38/200 for purchase by the many Commonwealth nations. In 1958 Smith & Wesson introduced the current model identification numbering system and this alien counterpart to the American Model 10 became known as the Model 11. Production continued until the late 1960's.
Perhaps the greatest testimony to the success of this revolver is that it has led to dozens of different models. This first Smith & Wesson revolver built on the K frame is the grandfather of all K frame revolvers today. K frame revolvers chambered in .38 spl or .357 magnum are are available in many barrel lenghts, finishes, choice of steel or alloy frame, with fixed or adjustable sights etc. The Model 10 is also one of the most copied designs in other countries. Millions of close copies of this revolver have been made in places like Spain, France, Brazil and Pakistan.
Many gun collector's do not collect Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers. The answer to this lies in its success. It is so successful it's not unusual or different. Still, for the collector who can appreciate the greatness of a no frills workhorse with many years yet to go, many varieties exist, some of them rather rare, to collect. A vintage Victory Model is collectable and historic yet still viable as a weapon today. A collection of humble Military & Police revolvers can be great fun. I predict this weapon has another century of use to go before it is obsolete.
Where does one go to pick up a classic Model 10? The sources are quite numerous. The best deals and the best guns often come from unlikely sources such as estate sales and pawn shops. However, the Web Page for the Preservation and Expansion of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has links to several firearms sites that specialize in vintage firearms for the collector market. As mentioned earlier, the quality of Smith & Wesson products currently produced is a shadow of its former self. However, a new Model 10 may still be purchased. Smith & Wesson still list it as a current product.

A Jefferson Parish School Board member is questioning the legality of turning over an academically struggling Harvey school to a charter group. Board member Cedric Floyd contends that Celerity Schools of California has no contract to run Woodmere Elementary School, despite the board voting to hire the firm last August.
Floyd, who voted against Celerity, said the district must follow the same process it did in awarding charters in 2012 and 2013. He cited detailed agreements approved by the School Board with the Kenner Charter Academies Foundation, International School of Louisiana and Young Audiences Charter Association. All three organizations have Type 1 charters, which are start-up schools housed in property the board closed because of budget cuts.
Celerity will operate as a Type 3 charter by taking over an existing campus, according to Jefferson Chief Academic Officer Michelle Williams. Floyd may have "misread'' the charter statutes, Superintendent James Meza said.
District administrators stressed that Woodmere is not closing and the school system still maintains oversight of the campus. In addition, Celerity is required to follow state and federal law, including terms of a desegregation consent decree.
Comments by Floyd, whose district does not include the school, come as Celerity has organized meetings with the Woodmere community to discuss the transition for the 2014-15 term. After meeting with parents Wednesday, the charter organization plans to hold a second session Saturday (May 31) at 2 p.m. at the school.
Earlier this week, Floyd emailed Meza, calling on him to "cease and desist'' communication with students, parents and staff until the board conducted a public hearing and vote on whether to close the school. Floyd argues that Celerity's takeover amounts to closing the public campus.
Without low enrollment or dilapidated physical facilities, Woodmere does not satisfy guidelines for closure or to become a charter, Floyd said. "Woodmere is a neighborhood school. You must follow federal protocol,'' he said.
Meza stressed the district is following all laws.
Celerity's management is designed to help improve student achievement at Woodmere, Meza said. The state has deemed the school "academically unacceptable,'' due to a performance grade of "F'' for at least three years, officials have said.
"We feel that Woodmere was the most appropriate to receive the services of a national group that has history of turning around low performing schools,'' Meza said.
The district should have poured more resources into the school, Floyd said. "If Woodmere is failing, Meza has watched it fail for two years and hasn't done anything,'' Floyd said. "If Celerity is good for Woodmere, it should be good for our (entire) school system.''
Meza said he has discussed the issue with West Bank board members Ray St. Pierre and Etta Licciardi, whose district includes the school, to gain their support.
"We're not in violation of any laws. We're not changing attendance zones,'' he said. Employing Celerity is "more of management decision.''

"There is something to photographing a kiss," says photographer Lauren Fleishman, "especially of a couple who has been together for over 50 years."
Fleishman's latest book The Lovers, published by Schilt, documents the love stories of couples that have been together for over five decades.
It was inspired after her grandfather's death when she discovered a trove of love letters he had written to her grandmother during World War II. The diary found next to his bed after his death held the letters that spoke passionately of a young love — the type of hopeful love Fleishman describes as "filled with expectations of their new life together."
In one letter, her grandfather wrote, "I love you with all my heart, and will continue to do so for the rest of my life." The letters felt timeless and instantly connected her to her grandparent's 59-year marriage in a way that…

How Important is Therapy to Stability with Bipolar Disorder?
Even though there is still no cure for bipolar disorder, there is at least treatment for it – usually medication and therapy. But how important is therapy to stability with bipolar disorder?
Medication is crucial to recovery from bipolar disorder, there is no disputing that. Many people have recovered from the disorder because of their medication.
Granted, your loved one must take their medication religiously in order to feel better – that's why it is such an important part of treatment.
Medication can balance your loved one's erratic mood swings, and help to avoid bipolar episodes.
But what about therapy? Isn't that important as well?
Yes, it is. In therapy for bipolar disorder, your loved one will learn how to manage their bipolar disorder. They are also free to discuss any issues they have surrounding the disorder that, perhaps, they are uncomfortable discussing with you.
A therapist trained in treating patients with bipolar disorder can help your loved one not just by having a good listening ear or a shoulder to cry on, but can also offer concrete suggestions on how they can better manage their bipolar disorder.
Medication can only go so far in helping your loved one with bipolar disorder. It is only half of the equation when it comes to treatment.
The other half of the equation for treatment is therapy, which can rapidly help your loved one to manage their bipolar disorder, as long as they participate in it.

Pemberville welcomed Gordon Bowman as the new mayor and new council persons Eileen Schuerman and Randy Rothenbuhler at the first meeting in January.
Council honored former mayor James Opelt and councilman Christian King for their years of service at a reception following the last meeting in December. Opelt served two four-year terms and did not seek re-election in November.
The new $2.5 million wastewater treatment plant is the newest infrastructure asset for the village. Funded partially with a $1.25 million grant from the Ohio EPA, Mayor Bowman says, "It was built with an eye to the future, with extra capacity and able to process from outside the village. Careful high-tech processing returns water to the Portage that is cleaner with less chemicals than the river itself."
The water tower was repainted last year, and three village wells were refurbished and now have improved production.
Pemberville and Freedom Township officials encouraged residents to complete a survey designed to gauge what they think should be priorities for their community. The survey link on the village's website asks residents if they would support a wide array of projects such as additional bike paths, park improvements, senior citizen activities and programs, residential development, and downtown development.
In 2011, a new village beautification group, The Pedal Pushers, improved parks and buildings with plantings, trimming and weeding. Bowman says all these efforts are supported by village employees, including Pemberville police, and the streets, electric, water and sewer departments.
"Pemberville continues to be a great community of volunteers and service," Mayor Bowman said.
In 2012, Bowman says the village will continue maintenance on the Memorial Park pool, look at resurfacing the tennis courts, work to develop soccer fields at Northwest Park, and clean up the Walking Trail and Oberhouse Park.
The Pemberville Fair Board will hold the 66th edition of the Pemberville Free Fair August 15-18 on American Legion and Village Park grounds, including the nearly two-hour Free Fair Parade on Saturday. The Pemberville Independent Merchants Association holds Classic Cruise-Ins the first Thursday evenings of June, July, August and September.
The fourth Saturday in October the Pemberville-Freedom Historical Society stages the Autumn Fest and Craft Show at the American Legion, Pemberville Elementary, Freedom Township Fire Hall and in downtown Pemberville.
The historical society is raising funds to construct an elevator in the Pemberville Opera House. Three options were provided by architect Scott J. Heacock for the 1891 building, ranging from $178,900 to over $300,000, with the mostly including an upstairs restroom.
"The elevator would be placed on the exterior of the opera house, but of course, it would be made to enhance the town hall," businessman Todd Sheets said. "It wouldn't take away from the historical value. That's what we're all about."
Further north, the Stony Ridge Summer Festival and Flea Market closed before it could celebrate its 40th year. The economy, torn up roads, state licensing mandate, a lack of volunteers and bad weather forced organizers to take a year off.
"Karen Nicely, president of the Stony Ridge Civic Association, said, "We decided to take a year off, regroup, and maybe do something next year (2012)."

Boost Your Business With Smart Delivery
Differentiate your business in the one way that customers value the most: deliver the goods on time.
It can be difficult to carve out a competitive advantage in today's cutthroat business environment. For some companies, investments have been focused on creating digital advantage through measures like apps or fancy websites, or improved processes with clever technology to make things run faster and better. While all those strategies have their place, there could be a far simpler way to put your business ahead of the competition. Deliver the goods, in a very literal sense.
The Internet revolution has made today's markets very competitive in all sorts of ways. Barriers to entering many markets have tumbled and new competitors are everywhere. Consumers have greater choice than ever and can easily compare prices and service. That is good for consumers, but it makes it hard for companies to attract and retain a loyal following.
By now, it should be no secret that people are willing to pay for convenience. In fact, many of the digital initiatives we see today are succeeding because of the convenience they provide. Take the Uber example: Using technology services, it brings together willing sellers with willing buyers, with the ultimate convenience of being able to see where your Uber is, who the driver is and what car to expect. Even more convenient, your Uber shows up when you need it.

Extend the same concept to physical goods, no matter what they may be and it is not difficult to see how a delivery service can easily put a big smile on your customers' faces. Whether you are selling horse saddles, operate a bicycle store, run the local grocer, hardware outlet or restaurant: bringing your goods to your customers saves them time, makes it easier to buy and has the added effect of establishing further rapport to build trusted relationships.
According to Forbes, the Internet has habituated today's shoppers to instant gratification. While physical goods obviously cannot be accessed at a click, there is no doubt that speedy delivery has become a driver of competitive advantage.
Getting a delivery service set up can be easy and low-cost provided your market is fairly local and your product relatively easy to transport. There are a range of options for vehicles, from a versatile bakkie or minivan capable of handling large loads or bigger items, through to a delivery motorbike or scooter. For those providing smaller items, scooters or motorbikes are a great option, as they enable convenience when your customers might most need it: during rush hour. A bike can zip through the traffic, impressing your customer by ensuring that they get what they need, without wasting time stuck in the car due to traffic or lack of parking.
A big question would be whether your deliveries are handled in-house or by a third party. There are pros and cons, but there is an increasing trend for many smaller businesses to make use of specialised logistics/ delivery operations. After all, this means you do not have to make the capital investment in a vehicle or scooter, pay a staff member to do the job and take on the insurance and management issues. Not only are you engaging an expert, you are also doing your bit to support another business.
Third-party delivery partners also work well for deliveries in far-flung areas, or if your product is bulky.
It is a good idea to see what other businesses of your size are doing and who they are using. It is important to choose a delivery partner whose service ethos matches your own.

Whatever option you choose, make sure you understand the risk and have the right kind of business insurance in place. It is also a good idea to have the ability to monitor where your deliveries are in real time. If you have a third-party partner, they should be able to provide this for you.
With most big stores offering delivery services as part of their value proposition, adding this choice to your service offering increasingly makes good business sense. Customers are quite prepared to pay a slight premium to get what they want, right to their front door – and they will keep on coming back for more.

5 Reasons Why Your Business Is Losing Customers
Ever think about why people keep buying iPhones, even though they're so darned pricey?
Like it or not, your business is losing customers. Recent research from McKinsey & Company revealed that only 13 percent of customers surveyed said they were loyal to a single brand. The research found that 87 percent of customers surveyed said they shopped around, and 58 percent had switched to a new brand.
Why do people shop around? What motivates them to abandon the businesses they know and buy products or services from competitors? It's time that you take a close look at why your business is losing customers – and, what you can do to fix it.
Here are five common reasons why customers leave small businesses … and effective tips you can use to start turning the tide.
1. You're guilty of poor customer service experience.
Few things can sour a customer experience more quickly than poor customer service. To a customer, your support team is your business. Shauna Geraghty, a clinical psychologist and head of talent at the global customer support innovator TalkDesk revealed on the company's blog that over 90 percent of customers who are dissatisfied with your customer service experience will — rather than telling you that something is wrong and how you can improve it — just not come back.
So, if you're not paying attention to your customer-service policies and performance, there's a good chance that neglect is costing you customers.
This is one reason why some companies, including Comcast, create create support-focused accounts like @comcastcares on Twitter. These accounts are public and are known for helping customers to resolve problems quickly.
Related: How to Lose Customers through your Website
What you can do:
Outline thoughtful, positive customer service practices. Start with an internal audit of the policies that govern your team. Conduct interviews with customer-support managers and representatives.
Assess what company policies have led to customer dissatisfaction. What internal issues are preventing your reps from supporting customers quickly and effectively? Use this data to improve your customer service practices.
Then, bear in mind these three golden rules of customer service:
Respond quickly. Acknowledge when a mistake is made and make it right.
Treat the customer with respect and empathy.
Support your customer support team. Give your customer service team the resources they need to provide your customers with awesome service. This includes the technical infrastructure as well as the autonomy to make choices that will benefit your business and support your customers.
2. Your product or service failed to meet expectations
Disappointed customers are likely to share their disappointment with friends on social media. And angry customers will post angry reviews for other prospective customers to see.
What you can do:
Design and build a quality product or service. Don't think that marketing magic or any amount of other business trickery is going to make up for a poor product or badly executed service. So, work with a talented product designer.
Test. Build with quality materials. Adapt your service based on customer feedback.
Do whatever it takes to create and deliver a service or product that is worth paying for.
3. You didn't show the value
Price is what a customer pays. Value is what a customer gets. Sales expert and emotional intelligence coach Liz Wendling pointed out on her blog that customers don't necessarily choose only "the lowest price or the cheapest in town." Customer preferences, she said, have nothing to do with price and everything to do with the value you are conveying. When your potential customers tell you it is about the money, wrote Wendling, that is actually customer code for "show me the value."
This is certainly one reason why Apple continues to dominate when it comes to smartphone profits. In Q4, 2017, Apple captured 87 percent of smartphone industry profits but accounted for only 18 percent of total units sold. Customers, clearly, are buying iPhones because they believe that Apple products deliver more value, despite the higher price.
What you can do:
Identify your unique value proposition. What awesome value do you bring to your customers that other businesses don't? This is your unique value proposition.
Clearly articulate your unique value proposition on all platforms. Publish the benefits of your product or service on your website home page.
Educate your customer support and sales staffers so that they can speak fluently about the value included in your pricing.
Feature your unique value proposition on the landing page for every offer. (Check out https://www.crowdspring.com/blog/landing-page-guide/this article to learn more about creating effective landing pages.)

4. Your business is Inconsistent
In business, and in life, consistency breeds trust. Things that are consistent can be relied upon. And, things that can be relied upon don't need to be worried about. Inconsistent branding, including using your company's name or logo differently on your own site and on social networks, plus inconsistent quality or service, all have the potential to drive customers away.
United Airlines learned this lesson the hard way when young women wearing casual wear were not permitted to board a flight unless they changed out of Spandex leggings. Yet any traveler is going to see many, many women at the airport wearing leggings. And there' was no previous record of United barring others from flying for wearing leggings. That's why this particular decision created a social media firestorm and lots of confusion.
What you can do:
Deliver an experience customers can rely on. This starts with you and your employees.
Educate all of your employees about what a good customer experience should look like.
Create a branding guide to establish uniform branding guidelines and share it with your team.
Hold your employees accountable for delivering a consistently positive customer experience.
Create strong customer interaction policies. Whatever your policies are, make sure that they will serve your customers well before you implement them. Then stick with them! Be consistent.
5. Your sales tactics are out-of-date.
Aggressive sales techniques are more likely to drive customers away than lead to positive results. Leslie Ye, for HubSpot, wrote that the old sales playbook — dragging prospects through a sales process and strong-arming them into a purchase — worked only because there was no better way for buyers to buy.
If your sales techniques focus on manipulating or coercing a sale, your business is actively chasing customers away.
What you can do:
Employ value-based selling techniques. Take the time to learn what your customer actually needs. Then offer value-based solutions that address those needs. Show how your product benefits the customer and allow them to decide if it's the right fit for them.
Build relationships with your customers. If you're trying to sell with every single customer interaction, you're doing it wrong. Instead, focus on establishing trust with your prospective customers.
Have honest interactions and provide value through useful content and entertaining social media engagement. Then, when a customer needs the product or service you provide, he or she will turn to you, a trusted resource.
The key to growing a business is to maintain the customers you already have while acquiring new ones. So, stop leaking customers. The success of your business depends is at stake.

text: Drunk Driver Sues Friend, 2 Restaurants New Mexico man killed two teen sisters after drinking By Newser Editors and Wire Services Posted Mar 8, 2013 5:27 PM CST 64 comments Comments (Shutterstock) (Newser) – A repeat drunken driver convicted in a crash that killed two teenagers is suing his drinking buddy and two Santa Fe restaurants that served him alcohol. James Ruiz filed suit in New Mexico District Court this week, seeking monetary damages from the friend he was out drinking with as well as Applebee's and the Blue Corn Cafe. The lawsuit, filed by Ruiz without a lawyer, claims the restaurants and his friend caused Ruiz emotional distress when he was served drinks in 2010. Police say Ruiz rammed his truck into a car and killed two teenage sisters from the Navajo reservation. He is serving a 40-year prison sentence after entering a guilty plea in 2011. Neither restaurant has commented on the lawsuit. The Albuquerque Journal has more.

I am presently trying to find a suitable exchange format for sequence diagrams ( XML for instance ). I am working on Rhapsody 4.1 in C++.
I know that the I-Logix Interfaces Pack allows to export class diagrams to XMI, but is it possible to export sequence diagrams to XMI? And if it is not possible, does Rhapsody 5.0 enable it?
I think that Rational Rose can do that but I only dispose of Rhapsody.
Thank you in advance.

The feature you are looking for is a very useful feature, as described in our thread on J2U from NASRA. Unfortunately, the UML tools industry, other than NASRA, has still never figured this out. This is one of the biggest surprises of all to me, given that Java performance analysis tools are quite popular and are strongly related in their ability to reverse-engineer and intelligently display flows from executing code.
How do you want to use the XMI information for sequence diagrams?
Actually, I need to generate C code from a sequence diagram describing a test procedure ( validation phase ).
I thought I could do that exporting the sequence diagram to XMI and then generating code from the XML file using XSLT.
I am not sure you can do that with the Rhapsody 4.1 tool... And I wonder if it is possible with Rhapsody 5.0.
Thank you for your answer.

Brake pads are one of the most common causes of undesirable automotive noises. Often, annoying squeals and squeaks are dirty or worn brake pads. Stop making pedestrians cringe when you pull up to an intersection by installing some new brake pads.
No parts required.
Jack up the front of the car and place it on jack stands.
Use an impact wrench or lug wrench to remove the five 19 mm lug nuts from the front wheel.
Pull the front wheel off the wheel lugs and set it aside.
Insert the tip of a skinny screwdriver in the eyeholes of the clips and lift them off of the dowels.
Remove the two brake pad dowels by sliding them towards the car through their holes in the brake caliper. You may have to use a punch or screwdriver to get them to start moving.
Using your hands or a screwdriver, lift the inner and outer brake pads out of the brake caliper.
Use a chisel or pry bar to gently push the pistons away from the brake rotor and back into the caliper.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order, starting at step 4.

The packed earthy trail wound through the deeply wooded forest. Majestic mountain crags surrounded the woodland rims and rose like flames against the azure sky.
I was paralyzed of sorts, my feet wouldn't move. I just wanted to stand silently and breathe the scent of dirt and dew and pine into my soul. I love the woods, I love the trees and I feel so alive in the midst of all that variegated greenery and bark. Words of worship clamor for release when I am in the fields and forests of God and the cry of my soul resounds, "Where can I go and meet with my God?" Psalm 42:2
As I stood surrounded by the greatness of creation, I knew, I just knew, he was there beside me. And in the knowing, my smallness engulfed me. Someone once said that if God were small enough to be understood, he wouldn't be big enough to be worshipped. It was under the canopy of that truth all my worries fled.
I think Adam and Eve must have experienced this same elation as they walked in the garden in the cool of the day. Gen 3:8
Jacob was said to have carried the scent of the earth and smell of the field on his skin. Gen 27:7
David, a man of the earth and poet for the soul found refuge and inspiration in creation. Psalms
Jesus frequently escaped to places of solitude and beckons us even now to follow--
Come away with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.
Mark 6:31
I wonder...what poetry and praise filled Jesus' soul as he ascended to the heights of the mountains? What kind of ethereal attachment to the beauty of the earth reminded him of his purpose and the sacrifice that would take him away from it all.
"Remember me!" I heard Him whisper. To the wind. To the trees. And to me. I realized then that yes, he was saviour and God, but he was also a son, a brother, a friend, a child, a teenager with desires. He loved this earth, its smell, its beauty and its people. He had an earthly journey and a human story to tell as we all do. God yet man. Like all of us, he doesn't want to be forgotten. We need to preserve moments in our day to reflect and "remember him."
Sometimes I fear we get too caught up in the practice of religion and forget to practice the presence of God. How easy it is to let the distractions of the day rob us of the silence and serenity found in creation, that vast wilderness of forests, fields and mountains God would use as a healing balm to our spirits if we would only go.
Kim Thomas states it well: "Overly concerned with what has been, stressed and consumed by what is yet to be, we tend to forget that life is happening in the immediacy of this instant". (1)
Eugene Peterson hit the nail on the head; "The fullness of creation is not realized in compulsive activity, but in the quiet contemplation of what is." (2)
There is a spiritual continuity and circuitous connection with creation that is restless inside of us, urging us back to our origins, back to a faraway time and place recognized by our soul; God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there He put the man He had formed. Gen 2:8
"In that day I will respond, declares the Lord-- I will respond to the skies, and they will respond to the earth; and the earth will respond to the grain, the new wine and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.
I will plant her for myself in the land."
Hosea 2:21-23
God has made the earth and skies to be an observable, experiential and tangible testimony of His presence. Come away with Him, find a place of solitude and rest. Find a place of worship and prayer. He is waiting for you.
True worshippers, "Will he always have to go to a church to find them, or might there be one here and there in an ordinary house, kneeling alone by a chair?" (3)
Might there be one here and there found walking a winding trail in communion with his creator?
This is my fathers world. Lose yourself in it. I dare you. :)

On Saturday, November 4th, Petawawa welcomed over 1,000 Ontario high school runners for the OFSAA Provincial Cross Country Championships at the military base golf course.
To qualify for the most competitive high school race in Canada, the "Road to OFSAA" begins with athletes competing in their local high school championship race. The next week they compete in one of 19 regional cross country meets where they had to be in the top five individuals or be on one of the top two teams. Those athletes then advance to OFSAA.
Race starting line positions are assigned based on your Regional meet position. If you placed 4th overall at Regionals, you would be in the fourth row of five of athletes. Teams were also arranged the same, with the top team member getting a front row spot while the five team member would be in the fifth row.
The Meaford Coyotes Track Club had three runners qualify. Olivia Karn is a grade 9 Coldwater student, representing the Orillia Nighthawks. Ethan Pentland is a grade 9 Durham student representing John Diefenbaker High School. Spencer Book of Meaford is a grade 10 student representing the GBCS Thunder.
Olivia Karn started the day in the grade 9 Midget Girls 4.24km race. She was 4th at the GBSSA Regional Meet and was in the 3rd row of athletes, placed right in the middle of the pack. Almost the worst position you could possibly have. The gun went off and the herd of athletes collapsed to the middle of the field and she was swallowed up in the mass, like a fish net of sardines flopping around. She worked her way through the mass of runners, picking them off 1 at a time. Hoping for a better showing, she finished an impressive 86th in a field of 259 runners.
Ethan Pentland won his Regional CWOSSA race and was right in the middle of the front row at the start of the grade 9 Midget Boys 4.24km race. He had a great start and was in the top 20 after the 300m massive sprint over and down the first hill and through the tight "dog-leg" turn to squeeze the herd even closer together. His aggressive pace moved him up to 11th spot with only 600m left and he won his finishing sprint to the line to place 9th spot in a field of 265 athletes. He was only 19 seconds back from the winner.
Spencer Book was 5th at CWOSSA's last week and lined up in the 5th row on the outside 18th row against the fence. Not a great spot to be either. As the gun went off, the pack narrowed to the middle and he was able to sneak around the outside of the pack, through the "dog-leg" narrowed section and be in the mass of runners about 30 seconds off the leaders after the first 800m. His very fast start caught up with him a bit in the back part of the race, but hung tough. He still worked his way through the pack and worked through the tough hilly back-1/2 of the race to gain a few more spots. Spencer cross the line 71st of 270 competitors, just under 2 minutes back of the leader.
"Olivia, Ethan and Spencer ran their hearts out and made their schools, their families and our Coyotes very proud. Congrats to all of you!" said team coach Kevin Hooper.
They join some of their Coyote teammates next weekend on November 12th in Bracebridge for Athletics Ontario Cross Country Championships, the last race of their season.

Gelb began working the night shift at The Times as a copy boy in 1944.[1] He ascended through the ranks, holding several titles in many different departments. His biggest impacts were while working in the drama department. He enjoyed the plays of Eugene O'Neill so much that he wrote a biography of the playwright (O'Neill: Life with Monte Cristo, 1974, ISBN 9780060114879) with his wife Barbara. He supported the creation of the New York Shakespeare Festival by editorializing Joseph Papp's productions. He has edited a number of works such as "Great Lives of the Twentieth Century" (ISBN 978-0812916256). Gelb retired from The Times in 1989 as managing editor.[2][3] "City room" (ISBN 9780399150753), a memoir of his life and career at The Times, was published in 2003.
After retiring from The Times, Gelb became president of The New York Times Company Foundation, which operated until 2009,[4] and director of The New York Times College Scholarship Program.[5]
Personal life[edit]
Gelb and his family lived in New York City.[3] Arthur and Barbara Gelb were the parents of Peter Gelb, General Manager of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.
Gelb died on May 20, 2014, at his home in Manhattan, New York, of complications of a stroke. He was 90.[6]
