A month or so ago, we asked our Facebook fans to tell us their favorite road trip snack. And boy, did we get some interesting responses!
Maverick snackers
A few of you choose to keep it, um, rustic and local: one guy likes to snack on "squirrels," while 2 others pick up a little "road kill" on the way. One of you prefers to go the extreme-vegan route with "algae" (the snack that grows back). And one respondent likes to fuel up with a mix of coffee, espresso, and energy drinks: about 1,019 mg of caffeine by our estimate. Talk about life in the fast lane.
Sugar and salt
For the majority of respondents, a road trip is the perfect excuse to indulge. Pop-in-your-mouth snacks like chips or gummy bears were high on the list.
Health conscious
Around 15 percent of you keep on the straight and narrow (even when no one's looking!) with wholesome snacks like fruit and nuts.
For a breakdown of answers by type of snack, check out our infographic below. And feel free to share your own favorite snack in the comments section.

I made a lot of jokes about the Lexus LF-Gh concept, which looks like the sound you make if you attempt to pronounce the name phonetically. I take it all back. Interesting and ugly is better than just plain dull, which is what spy photos reveal the 2013 Lexus GS is.
It's like they took everything interesting about the concept and ripped it off to create the production version, with the exception of a little chrome left around the upper grille. A grille that is, curiously, in the shape of The Cheat. Give credit to the AutoSina spy photographer for even noticing it's a pre-production model.
Maybe it would be stealthier without the camo.

Greeley to offer more free CPR classes
April 30, 2013
Greeley will offer another round of free CPR training on May 11 and 25.
The city of Greeley Heart Safe City Project and Greeley Fire Department will teach a non-certified course on CPR and how to use an Automated External Defibrillator, or AED, at 9 a.m. both days at the Greeley Fire Department Station No. 1, 919 7th St. in the Nusbaum Training Room. The course is about 1½ hours long.
Studies show those who do not receive CPR within 3 minutes and defibrillation within 5 minutes of a heart attack are far less likely to survive.
To sign up, call the Greeley Fire Department at (970) 350-9508 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Classes are first-come, first-serve, with a minimum of 10 participants and a maximum of 24.
The Heart Safe City initiative is accepting donations and looking for business partners to help fund CPR classes. These two were made possible through a donation by the North Colorado Medical Center Foundation.

Stuffed Brinjal/EggPlant Curry/ Gutthi Vankaya Kura
- Wash the brinjal, wipe it with a wet cloth,Now take each brinjal and cut from the base end (opposite side of stem) and make a slit towards stem side but not all the way through i.e slit each brinjal into four sections lengthwise without cutting off the crown. The brinjal are ready for stuffing and the stuffing requires some patience. Note:here we can stuff directly to this raw brinjal's, but it consumes so much time if brinjal size is medium/big. So I usually deep fry the brinjal's before stuffing so that it takes less time to cook with gravy.
- Now heat oil in a kadai for deep frying, deep fry this brinjal till light brown and keep it a side for stuffing.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a kadai, add dry red chillies, black gram dal, chana dal, Ground nuts, coriander seeds, jeera and suate till dal turns red, allow it to cool.
- Now Take a mixer jar, add sauted dal, salt, chopped onion, grind to a coarse paste for stuffing.
- Stuff the slit brinjal with the masala paste, heat 1/2 cup or more and add this stuffed brinjals to the oil, remainig left over masala paste, mix well, allow it to saute for 10 minutes closing it with lid, till oil shows seperately and gravy is well cooked(in case you are stuffing into raw brinjal it's required to be sauted till brinjal cooks and mixes well with gravy(app. 20 to 30 minutes.
- Serve as side dish with hot rice.

The week in review
Latest in the Scottie Griffin annals: A lawsuit against the former Charlottesville school superintendent and her previous employer, the New Orleans public schools, is settled in favor of the executive secretary who sued when Griffin tried to fire her, Bob Gibson reports in the Daily Progress. Janice Clay is awarded $35,000 plus attorney fees, and attorneys for the plaintiff and for New Orleans both say they were unable to reach Griffin by phone.
Latest contenders for Albemarle County office: David Slutzky is nominated by the Dems to challenge Republican Gary Grant and independent Thomas Jakubowski for the Rio district seat on the Board of Supervisors. And Jon Stokes announces he'll run for the Samuel Miller School Board seat that Gordon Walker is leaving.
Latest plan to thwart terrorists: Sheriff Ed Robb proposes a defense shield around the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail and other measures totaling thousands of dollars to protect the facility from a terrorist attack, Liesel Nowak reports in the Progress.
Biggest merger: Albemarle First Bank, which was bilked out of $2.4 million in a check-kiting scheme in 2003, announces a merger June 10 with Millennium Bankshares out of Reston. Albemarle First will keep its name and three local branches.
Best merger bonus: Shareholders get over $15 a share for stock that had once dipped under the $8 mark.
Biggest vice bust: Seven slot machines, 25 quarts of moonshine, 75 cans of beer in a vending machine and cash are seized by the Virginia ABC in a June 9 raid on Charlottesville Novelties on East Market Street, according to John Yellig in the DP.
Best sign that inflation lives: City Council approves a utility rate increase June 6, boosting natural gas rates around 13 percent starting July 1, water rates 10 percent, and sewer rates 6 percent, and connection rates go up as well.
Worst loss of an educator and public servant: Former city councilor Mary Alice Gunter, 69, dies June 6 from cancer. Gunter was a teacher in the Charlottesville city schools and an associate professor at UVA's Curry School of Education, a writer of both educational books and mysteries, and a former president of the Venable Neighborhood Association.
Worst loss for Charlottesville police: Gary Williams, the community service officer at Buford Middle School, dies in a single-car accident in Ohio June 7.
Worst day for fatal fires: June 7. Gregory Mark Carter and his cat die in a Madison County predawn blaze, Reed Williams reports in the Progress, and a three-month-old boy dies late that night in a Waynesboro fire police believe was caused by an unattended pot on the stove, according to NBC29.
Worst chemical spill: Floor stripper being delivered to Jefferson Supply Company on Greenbrier Road June 9 apparently shifts in the truck and drips onto the parking lot. A clean-up crew is called, and Albemarle County says there's no immediate threat to the community.
Worst armed robbery: A knife-wielding male takes the cash drawer from an attendant at the Water Street Parking Lot late June 9, according to an NBC29 report. Police say the suspect, a medium-build black male in his mid 20s wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and gray scarf covering his face fled on foot toward Garrett Street.
Most anticipated opening: Bodo's on the Corner, while still not open at the Hook's Tuesday afternoon press time, should start rolling out the bagels this week. "Promise?"
Biggest verdict: Michael Jackson is acquitted June 13 of all charges in his three-month-long child molestation trial.
Biggest tease: Last week's Hook touts the story "Hingeley's after Peatross again" on its cover– but doesn't include the article inside. [The story made it in this week–editor.]

Mooneyes "Rocks" Post-Apocalyptic Japan
In the wake of devastation, north-central Japan showed little signs, if any, it'd recently been victim to the worst dose of disaster Mother Nature could possibly muster up. Matter of fact, if I hadn't seen the televised catastrophe myself, I'd have never even suspected anything ever occurred near Tokyo—and I'm not necessarily talking about visible structural damage, either.
Having had the great fortune of attending Mooneyes Hot Rod & Custom Show in Yokohama, Japan, a number of times over the last 10 years has, among numerous things, allowed me to immerse myself in the Japanese hot rod/custom/motorcycle community … language barriers notwithstanding! Out of all the various, often unique characteristics, what's always stood out most predominantly to me is each car/bike owner's sincere dedication to their distinguished hobby, something many Americans take more for granted than anything else.
Naturally, my first instinct upon arriving in Yokohama this past December was to find that sense of dedication compromised in the aftermath of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that rocked southern Japan to its core. To my elation, from the minute I cleared customs at Narita Airport, I found myself in an amazingly spirited Japan. And once the doors of the Pacifico opened Sunday morning and the 20th Annual Hot Rod & Custom Show commenced, the atmosphere of those in attendance was not what you'd expect from a people overcoming such a horrific event. Quite the opposite, to be honest.
People flocked to the Pacifico to see such four-wheeled "foreign" attractions as Chris Broder's '49 Chevy (fresh from its recent appearance in The Rodder's Journal), Marky Idzardi's "Purple People Eater", two of the Bean Bandits LSR cars, Gene Winfield's custom candy green Chevy pickup, Pete Chapouris' SO-CAL roadster and Triumph Thruxton, and a wide array of custom motorcycles. And then there were all the "domestic" entries—of which we have but a minor sampling for your visual perusal (go online to www.mooneyes.com to see more).
For the first time since its inaugural show back in December 1992, Mooneyes packed the entire Yokohama Pacifico convention center—with people and vehicles. Mooneyes set both attendance and participant records, facts you'd have been hard pressed convincing me of had I not been there to witness it myself. But witness it I did, and I'm more than grateful having had the opportunity to do so … once again. Thank you to Shige Suganuma and his entire Moon brigade for making that possible … once again!

CUTMR / Room 214 / A Zero (A0)
A Zero (A0) is built from the joint efforts of ALSO Collective and Mason Studio. The studios share philosophies of design, but originate from two distinct practices. ALSO occupies a space in digital media and graphic design, while Mason inhabits the space of architecture and interiors. A Zero represents a shift in the boundaries of design, offering a space where two, three and four dimensions cohabitate and coalesce into a hybrid design practice.
A Zero includes Antonio Lennert, Ashley Rumsey, Blake Macfarlane, Bohdan Anderson, Marti Hawkins, Stanley Sun and Symon Oliver.
Fall of the Walled Garden explores the creation of public and private experiences. You are transported from the Gladstone to a new space where light, sound and structure mediate the body and personal interactions. This is a space of stillness, a space to slow down. At the centre lies a bright void where individuals are asked to commit their minds and bodies to an introspective journey. With full commitment—and some time—the exterior of the space will be transformed into a shifting environment of audio and light, before once again returning to a previous state of stillness.
Come Up To My Room (CUTMR) Toronto's largest alternative design show enters a new decade with new initiatives and a diverse lineup of local and national talent: 25 installations, 60 artists, and 4000 visitors, all in under 4 days. Gladstone Managing Director of Art, Britt Welter-Nolan is joined by three new curatorial forces: Jaclyn Blumas, Robert Cram and Elise Hodson.
CUTMR11: Thurs Jan 23 – Sun 26, 2014

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2004 Media Releases
Mayor Coleen J. Seng today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for January to Dodi Warne, a Records Supervisor in the Lincoln Police Department. The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Warn, who has worked for LPD for 22 years, was nominated for the category of productivity by Edward Ragatz, Records Manager. As supervisor for the "A" shift, she manages a staff of 12. Following the resignation of a "C" shift records supervisor more than a year ago, Warn took on supervisory duties for that shift as well, adding seven workers to her supervisory load.
"Dodi has managed work load, productivity, efficiency and cooperation on "C" shift to assure compliance in meeting all support legal obligations for this 24-hour, seven-day per week operation," wrote Ragatz in his nomination. Warn recently volunteered to permanently change her work hours to be available on both shifts, as the position on "C" shift will not be filled due to budgetary considerations. Prior to her schedule changing, Dodi completed her tasks with minimal overtime.
"We are grateful to Dodi for her work ethic, dedication and supervisory excellence in assisting LPD Records in meeting the associated LPD legal, support and accreditation obligations," Ragatz said.
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are customer relations, loss prevention, safety and valor. All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected officials and some managers. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public.
Nomination forms are available from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program. All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

Yet another Japanese anime adaptation of Chinese classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms 三國演義, written by Luo Guanzhong (羅貫中) in the 14th century. This time, it is the story of one of the warlords, Cao Cao 曹操, a brilliant and ruthless leader. The anime will be based on the award winning manga, Souten Kouro 蒼天航路 created by Li Hagin (李學仁) and King Gonta (王欣太).
And like… wowo Cute Rikuson (Lu Xun from Koutetsu Sangokushi) Mamochan 宮野真守 is voicing Sou Sou (Cao Cao) this time! Seki Tomokazu (関 智一) will voice his main rival from the three kingdoms, Ryubii (Liu Bei 劉備) Awesome! :D
The anime will premiere on 7 April 2009. That's an additional period/historical anime to look forward to this April along with Sengoku Basara ^_^
Official site: http://www.ntv.co.jp/souten/
The soundtrack seems good and I'll add more comments after I've watched it. Looks very promising from the staff line-up tho'. Continue reading "Anime: Souten Kouro (Miyano Mamoru, Seki Tomokazu)"

A Simple Code Kata
Hello CtJ nation!
Yes, it's been a long time, but we're still here at CtJ HQ, reading, if not exactly writing. Hopefully, more to come on that front in the coming weeks.
For now, this post is in support of an upcoming session at the PEI Developers Meetup. We'll be implementing a simple Code Kata and possibly extending it in interesting ways.
The Kata
The idea is a simple card game. Ignoring the rules of Rack-O, check out its deck of cards: numbers, but no suits.
The game is described as follows:
Begin with the deck of cards numbered 1 to N.
Shuffle and deal cards evenly to P players and a "kitty". That is: partition N cards (face-down) into (P + 1) sets.
Gameplay for a round:
- Show a card, face-up, from the kitty.
- Players all submit a hidden card as a bid.
- Once all bids are made, the cards are revealed.
- Highest bid wins the card from the kitty, and its value is awarded as points to the player.
I like this kata for many reasons. First, it scales nicely: we could write code for a single round, and eventually ramp up to a game server with concurrent players.
Also, it combines simplicity and variation: it is easy to write an algorithm that satisfies the rules; yet a winning strategy can be dynamic and surprisingly complex. (Thanks to Alex Stangl for an email conversation on this, some years back.)
Finally, we can imagine a "robot wars" scenario where solutions compete against one another. Neat-o.
For PEI Devs, think about this problem for the upcoming meeting.
For all, I'm looking for name suggestions (since it is not the game Rack-O). The best I have is Frak-O...

These pets spent most all of one day this week attempting and achieving entrance to the library. Seems their owner was busy inside but returning periodically to give them water in little cups.
Some customers paused outside and waited to enter. Some children inside hurried to open the doors to let the dogs come right on inside.
They could be heard barking from the second floor on occasion and were retrieved promptly when they scurried into the library's Local and Family History room.

Most of this is done by dropping to a terminal session and you will therefore not be able to see this page whilst you are doing it, therefore it is a good idea to read all this through and make sure you understand it and then either write it down or print it out before starting. Save and close any work you have open before starting too.
First drop to a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 Log in with your usual Username and Password.
Code: Select all
sudo stop *dm
Then put in your password
once that has finished,
Code: Select all
sudo Xorg -configure
Once this is done,
Code: Select all
To make the computer use the xorg file next time you boot, create a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf either by navigating to that folder and Right-click 'Open as Root' and then create a new file or
Code: Select all
gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and paste into it what is in the xorg.conf file in your Home directory and click save.
You now need to reboot to check the file works before you try to change anything in it. If like me when you go to the shutdown icon, shutdown and reboot are both greyed out, drop to a different terminal Ctrl+Alt+F2, login with usual details again and
It should boot you to your desktop as usual, however if it fails, you will get a pop-up which says "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode". To solve this you can do one of the following things:
1. Click OK on the message then with "Run Ubuntu in low graphics mode for just one session" selected, click OK, it will go to the normal login screen/desktop but usually at a very low resolution, then go to /etc/X11Right-click 'Open as root' the delete the xorg.conf file and reboot
2. Click OK on the message then select "Reconfigure Graphics" then OK then select "Use Default (generic) Configuration" then click ok, unless you have a backup configuration which worked, in which case select the third option on that list and locate your backup file. Once it has reconfigured your graphics, keep clicking cancel on all the prompts which will leave you at a command-line login, where you can use your normal details to login then
3. If the problem only occurred after you changed something in the file, click OK on the first message, the select "troubleshoot the error" then OK then "Edit Configuration file"
then either comment out your changes (with a # at the begging of the line) or delete what you changed. Click Close then keep clicking Cancel on all the prompts to be dropped to a command-line where you can login with usual details then
I welcome feedback if anyone has any problems or thinks something needs better explaining

My husband and I took this trail and loved having the ocean on one side and the sound on the other side. Breezy, beautiful, and not difficult. Can't wait to go again!
Rode the trail today parking at the visitor center (5533 Alabama). I rode north thru BWHT and the Military leg. Very enjoyable and well maintained. Water fountains and bathrooms available along the way (did not test the fountain or facilities). Rabbits, snake and squirrels in abundance. On my return from military base gate I rode past the visitor center south across Hwy 90 (difficult but with pedestrian signals). It is a nice activity bringing some diversity to a regular Navarre Beach day. I did not take advantage of the visitor center but from signs I felt it was open. I would ride this trail again and again.
We rode this trail in March, 2019 and would like to share some observations. The trail has great potential, connecting four state parks. Personally, when I ride it again, I would stick to the western section beginning just east of Grayton Beach SP to Topsail SP. The eastern section has over one hundred driveways and an annoying surface including paver bricks and sidewalk. In addition, the Seaside and Seagrove Beach areas were very congested and I had to walk my bike through crowds of people. To be fair though, it was during spring break.
The Pensacola Beach Trail is part of my favorite Florida rides. What really makes this ride special is the additional mileage you can do on both ends of the trail. If you start at the eastern most point and continue east, you are on wide bike lanes which are extensions to the road. This takes you through Gulf Islands National Seashore park. All you see on both sides is sand and water. Since Santa Rosa island is about 2 miles off the Florida mainland, you have the sound to your left and the Gulf of Mexico on your right. This is totally undeveloped. You can take this all the way into Navarre Beach. The road speed limit is only 35 MPH so passing cars don't speed by you. It is also a low traffic road so most of the time you are by yourself. The park has some facilities but you must pay to use them.
If you follow the trail west, you will end just outside Fort Pickens which is also part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore park system. You must pay to enter the park, but the ride to the Fort is again beautiful and has little traffic. This Civil War fort is the only one (from the original 3) that still survives. It was the only fort in this area that the Confederates did not overrun. It was also a temporary holding ground from Geronimo after he was captured. There are rest room here and a convenience store right outside the campgrounds. Be sure to watch the movie about the fort. It will give you a lot of background to the area. If you are lucky you will see the Blue Angels practice because you right next to the Naval Air Base.
If you include the two side trips, the total round trip ride is around 55 miles. Quite pleasant and FLAT!!! However, being next to the water, you will always be dealing with wind. Wear LOTS of sun blocker because there is NO SHADE.
Highly recommended!!!
If you're training for the Tour d'Anything, this isn't the trail for you. If you want to park your car in one of the towns and use the bikes to Gary around, they're great.
We ride "hybrid" bikes (something in between road bikes and mountain bikes). We found them pretty ideal for this trail.
We parked at Seaside and rode east to Camp Helen State Park. The park itself isn't a bad ride.
Another day, we went west to Grayton Beach. We ran into trail construction there, but we rode south to the beach, and around town. We later found that we probably could have re-entered the trail on the west side of town, and continued westward. The construction looked almost complete, so it is likely to be a non-issue soon after this review is posted.
The trail is ideal for exploring the towns, and goes close to lots of shops and restaurants.
There were a few other trails heading north toward hwy 98 that were in the final stages of construction. These were interesting, and we may explore them next year.
Two days after riding from Rosemary Beach to Seacrest and back (see "Not Close To Its Potential"), we returned and rode the section from Watercolor to Grayson Highlands State Park and back. This section has been significantly improved. Although still too narrow and unlined, the asphalt is smooth and adequately separated from the roadway, with new bridges. Someone needs to pay for similar improvements from Watercolor east. If they do, this would be a 4 or 5 star ride.
We rode 8 miles of this "trail", from the unmarked east end in Rosemary Beach to Seaside Beach, and back. This "trail", for most of the distance we rode, is just a very narrow glorified sidewalk, ill-maintained and in places downright dangerous. Parts of the "trail" are simply road shoulders, with no more than a few feet of separation from opposite direction vehicle traffic. That some vehicles have in the past entered the "trail" was evident from the bent-over rubber posts supposedly delineating the edge of the "trail" / road.
We passed at least a dozen bicycle rental outlets, each with hundreds of bikes. We were told that during peak vacation periods most of those bikes would be out on the "trail", with many very young and at times unsteady riders capable of veering into oncoming bicycle or vehicular traffic. While it was not busy during our ride, we saw no one else wearing helmets.
Between the bicycle concessionaires, the owners of the very valuable adjoining properties, the restaurants and other business profiting from trail users, the municipalities through which 30A passes and the county road commission, sufficient funds should available to (1) widen the trail to a minimum of 10', (2) repave the entire trail, (3) add appropriate paint markings and a center division line, and (4) install guardrails between the highway and the trail where the trail cannot be moved away from the road.
Given its premium location, this "trail" has the potential for perfection. At present, it isn't even close.
I rode this trail the entire length. It is not a bicycle trail for serious bike riders. While it wanders through some beautiful terrain, it is compromised by many driveways and road crossings not to mention the multitude of pedestrians. In Rosemary Beach area it is a concrete sidewalk about 4 feet wide. In many places the trail is very rough with pots and bumps due to the many cuts and patches.
If you are into a slow touring ride you will be OK.
I was greatly disappointed in this trail. An 18-mile, paved trail sounds so wonderful, but the reality was a different story. It has so much potential, it is a shame that it wasn't better designed and isn't better maintained. Mountain bikers, walkers and joggers might find this trail ok, but there is a reason all the road-bikes were on the road and not on the trail, and someone on inline skates would not be able to use most of the parts of the trail we experienced (the 6.5 miles on the southeast section).
Having read the reviews of how busy and crowded this trail tends to be, we set out early on Christmas morning to enjoy this trail. We started at the southeast end of the trail, planning to ride our Trikkes at least 10 miles before turning around. The trail was so poor, we gave up in frustration at 6.5 miles, and Trikked back to the car. Perhaps further on the trail we would have encountered better conditions, but we were too tired of trying to navigate bad conditions to find out.
The trail is amazingly inconsistent. Some areas are narrow sidewalks, others are wider asphalt. A few sections are smooth, but too many sections are bumpy, with cracked asphalt that is heaving.
Much of the trail is below the level of the road, with little-to-no vegetation to stop the runoff of sand, dirt, rocks and debris, across the trail. Some sections are actually the shoulder of the road, with only flexible plastic pipes, sticking up perpendicular from the road, to divide the trail from the roadway, with cars and trucks flying by.
At various points, the property owners are watering the trail with their underground sprinkler system, creating puddles as deep as 2 inches. The design of the trails did not provide for drainage.
The one real plus is that in the morning, most of the trail is shaded, which would be wonderful on hot summer mornings.
The area near Alys Beach was beautiful. While I understand the money isn't available to have all 18 miles that nice, there is a lot that could be done with this trail to make it more enjoyable.
Today we drove up to Port St. Joe's to ride the Loggerhead Run Bike Path. This trail is not fancy, but it is more consistent, well designed for drainage and sand control, and a delight to ride, albeit with little shade. Those who designed and maintain the Timpoochee Trail could take some lessons from them. I only wish we had booked our accommodations near Port St. Joe's- but now we know for our next trip to the region.
First, before I give the negative about this ride, let me state I am very grateful that we have trails like this one in the United States where we don't have to risk getting run over by a car. This trail is very bumpy. If you have 38 or larger tires, then air them down for comfort. If you are a roadie with 23 or 25mm tires, I think you may not be happy about this ride. If you want to go fast, it may be a problem as the trail can be very crowded at times and the people walking or riding seem to be inconsiderate about sharing the trail. Many times I had to come to a complete stop because no matter what bell I rang or what words I said had no affect, the people made no attempt to clear a path for us to get through. The beaches were right next to us, but you cannot see them for all the buildings. Not a scenic ride as you would expect. But I did get to burn a lot of calories. There are stops along the way for food, drinks, etc. Just chill on this ride and you can enjoy it. I would ride it again if I visit this area in the future.
In town for a meeting decided to ride the trail. Parked at the trail head behind the Spokin' Bike shop. Not exactly a safe feeling, and we were panhandled on our return. Better to park at the Milton library (although when we rode by the Visitor Center it was closed where I suspect you'd find restrooms). The trail is very nice and well maintained. Yes, there are several small road crossings and one major one before you get to the more rural area (the stop sign for bicyclists was down here--very dangerous! We righted it but it needs to be repaired). For a short (9 miles each way) ride it was quite pleasant.
Started at the parking area on Tar Plant Road on the south end. Very quiet and off the beaten path. Restrooms are there and are very clean. Rode south about a quarter-mile before it ended and had to turn around and go north.
The ride through Milton is slow as there are several road crossings as has already been stated. The one at highway 90 can be a bit challenging. All the other crossings are mainly side streets with less traffic. I did see a few of what appeared to be homeless people around Milton, but never felt threatened.
The trail farther north gets less busy the farther out you go. By the time I got to Whiting Field, I really didn't see anyone using it (although it was a Tuesday morning). I saw some guys with the base preparing to do some work on the path, so maybe the areas where the tree roots were tearing up the asphalt will get repaired.
It's a nice ride. There are restrooms along the way. I think I saw 3 or 4 of the latrines. It is fairly shady most of the way except the northern 2 or 3 miles. I'm sure that can get very hot in the summertime! It was also well maintained, grass cut, etc. when I went.
On the way back, I detoured off the path and rode down to the riverfront in Milton. They have a really nice boardwalk that's worth taking a look. You can return back to the parking area via Pine Street and Old US 90.

First and foremost, Adam Dunn is quickly developing into a complete baseball superstar. His plate discipline for someone his age is uncanny. Bonds didn't have it at the same stage. Not even close. Dunn's power may be unequaled at the ML level right now. Not in total distance but in force/velocity. Pitchers are clearly afraid of throwing something hard down the middle against him. You could see it in the ninth inning.
The ball he hit against Marquis in the middle innings was quite possibly one of the hardest hit bombs I've ever seen. My father was at the game and he said the only person he'd ever seen hit the ball that hard was Richie Allen. I watched it replayed on my TIVO a number of times and it was just amazing. And the word is starting to get around that you don't run on the kid no matter what. He has a canon, and he also has incredible accuracy--just ask Chipper.
I never thought I'd say this, but if the Reds trade Juan E it will be akin to when they let Frank Robinson get away. I know he's never done anything to show that he'll continue this kind of play over a full major league season, but I gotta tell y'all-- he is a different hitter now. He use to get hung out to dry on curveballs. Not anymore. He's keeping his hands and hips in check all through the power zone. Balls he gets fooled on he hits hard and through the middle.
He has blazing speed and he really seems to be giving his all. His defense is awesome and he's taking charge in the outfield. In my mind there is no reason to take him out of centerfield anytime soon. Move Junior to leftfield. He's only 26 years old and just coming into his own. I'd love to see the Reds sign this dude to a two year contract. If he falters they can trade him or just go with another five tooler they have stockpiled in the minors. He surely provides the Reds with a lot of
It is past time to move Sean Casey. Listen folks, I love the guy. He means so much to the Queen City. He is a loveable, blue collar, big fat dude who happens to hit line drives everywhere and will be a no doubt career .300+ hitter. But he doesn't hit homeruns and resultingly doesn't drive in enough runs. How in the world does it make any sense to have a lefthanded hitting first baseman with no power when your team is entering into a new stadium with a 302' "short porch" right field fence? It doesn't. Plain and simple.
So for all the great things Sean does at the plate and in the clubhouse, the Reds will be a better team with Adam Dunn at first, Juan E playing everyday alongside Kearns,Junior and of course the starting pitcher they'll get for Casey. Can anybody really prove that keeping Casey is the logical thing to do?(not counting his contract as a factor).
Pitching...Pitching....Pitching. When are the Reds going to get Jimmy Haynes out of their rotation? Surely Brian Reith is better than this guy. OK, he won today, but dude is serving up gophers. He is getting by on smoke and mirrors. The Reds have far too much quality bully depth to not go out and get another decent starting pitcher. What is Bowden waiting for?
The only thing I can think is that this "EOD" experiment with Junior over the next week or so is a smokescreen to eventually make a bigtime trade getting some starting arms. With Williamson and Pineda in the bully, is Danny Graves really needed as the closer? No. Where does Jeff Shaw fit into the equation. He's coming and soon.
Speaking of Graves, is it not worth at least trying him as a starter? As good a groundball pitcher as he is, why not give him a shot?
Well I'm falling asleep as I type this. My prediction tomorrow is that the Reds hammer Greg Maddux. Don't know why, but just have a suspicion.
Everyone's thoughts?

The Reg puts Vulture inside the Large Hadron Collider
No sign of any superpowers yet ...
The Compact Muon Solenoid
LHC spokespeople are fond of saying that the data produced by the LHC is roughly enough to fill 100,000 DVDs every year, around 15 million gigabytes of data annually, and while a huge amount of that information isn't held by CERN, a considerable amount of computing power is needed to sift through it. Just one long room of that onsite computational heft is an impressive sight. It's arguably the world's most extensive computer system.
The experiment's computer room, complete with cable nest
But the boffins have saved one of the most impressive sights for last. Leaving LHCb, the group enters the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS), one of the experiments responsible for spotting the Higgs boson. Outside the apparatus itself, we get to see that we've come a looooong way down. (Any blurriness in this pic is of course down to some sort of camera thing, and not the trembling hands of your Reg hack).
It's a long, long drop to the Compact Muon Solenoid
One of the guides compares walking inside CMS to walking into a particularly stunning cathedral, with the same sense of awe for the accomplishments of man. As much as a cynical and embittered hack would like to be able to disagree, the description is actually pretty accurate. The immense apparatus, full of tiny moving pieces that thousands of people have managed to engineer in a move towards explaining the known universe, is more than a little awe-inspiring.
Stepping inside the muon experiment
The only thing that dimmed this Vulture's spirits just a little was that your humble explorer had not started to glow, shrunk to tiny size or developed any super-strength as a result of the close encounter with the collider. ®

A new blog for IIED on What Women Want to happen when their communities are affected by land deals.
Our work on gender, land and accountability, which looks at large-scale land acquisition processes in sub-Saharan Africa, has highlighted a lack of opportunities for women to be involved in key discussions that affect their livelihoods.
Consultation processes between investors and local communities commonly rely on traditional land governance structures, which are led by men. When it comes to land issues, men are considered to be the official owners of the land, and to represent the wider communities.
These consultations between local communities and investors are crucial as this is when the implications of the changes proposed by investors on land use and livelihoods are discussed. They are the opportunity for the community members to put forward demands and to highlight key needs.
All too often, only men are involved in these discussions, and women's voices are excluded. This can have long-term and deeply felt impacts on their lives and livelihoods.

Otunnu, Former UN Big, Tells Ugandans To "Defeat Fear"
"We must defeat fear†the former UN official said, "and in order to do so, we need to unite, and get organized and nothing can be impossible.â€
[Global: Africa]
Dr. Olara Otunnu, the former United Nations Under Secretary General for Children in Armed Conflict announced the beginning of "a national, peaceful movement" in Uganda, to a crowd of several thousand people in the border town of Busia, eastern Uganda late Monday morning.
Otunnu's message at the well-attended rally focused on the power of unity, and began with a moment of silence for the 30 people killed during the Kampala riots September 10th, 2009 in Kampala.
Otunnu is back in Uganda this week after weeks abroad and in New York City. He had initially returned to Uganda on August 22, 2009 for the first time in 23 years.
Otunnu told the crowd of an estimated 10,000 people that the excessive force used to end the demonstrations was "characteristic of the Ugandan state, which victimizes its peaceful citizens." Otunnu said: "The massacres of 10th September is our issue, it is a national thing--It was not a Buganda thing."
"The September 10th demonstration was to demand freedom of movement, which is our right as citizens," Otunnu added. "The deaths of 30 people cannot be business as usual."
Otunnu explained that he joined the Uganda People's Congress (UPC) party because of its values. UPC cares about "the disadvantaged and gives a helping hand to them, not just the rich, the powerful and the highly connected."
"Those of us that are gathered here today," Otunnu continued, "we must ask ourselves if our lives are better today than it was 20 years ago."
Urging the crowd to face down fear and intimidation often present during election time in Uganda, Otunnu declared "this movement will not be stopped by Black Mambas," referencing the notorious Uganda paramilitary units.
Black Mambas were used to stop Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) presidential candidate Kizza Besigye's campaign in its tracks during the 2005 presidential election.
Focusing on the theme of fear, Otunnu said "there is one important thing that we need to get rid of if our social movement is to succeed, and that is intimidation, which breeds fear, and fear breeds incapacity--Fear will make us hide, and fear will make us shirk our responsibilities."
"We must defeat fear" the former UN official said, "and in order to do so, we need to unite, and get organized and nothing can be impossible."
He added, to the huge gathering, "do not be afraid, this is your country. This is your land, and you cannot walk with your head down. You must walk with your head up. Those who cast away fear have historically defeated Goliath. We will defeat the Goliath in our country."
As if to affirm Otunnu's statement about the state's use of excessive force, later the same day in western Uganda, FDC presidential candidate Besigye and supporters were met with teargas and anti-riot police as spontaneous rallies formed in Hoima town.
According to The Crested Journal, heavily-armed police "whipped supporters of the opposition Forum for Democratic Change and tear gassed the party's leader, Dr. Kizza Besigye. Police used three vehicles to block Dr Besigye's motorcade from entering the town."
In a similar incident last week the police blocked members of the Democratic Party (DP) who had turned up at Entebbe International airport to welcome party spokesperson Betty Nambooze, who had returned from South Africa after weeks of treatment there.
Local media reported that Nambooze was taken to South Africa after ailments developed while in military detention in Uganda.

Most of the collections consist of invertebrate fossils (representing almost every major group of organisms from around the world over the past 2 billion years), with major strengths in Cenozoic marine mollusks of the Western Hemisphere, Paleozoic marine invertebrates of New York State, and Cenozoic benthic foraminifera of the U.S. Coastal Plains and Caribbean. The collection also includes significant collections of Recent mollusks; Triassic-Jurassic vertebrates of the Newark Series (Connecticut Valley and adjacent areas); fossil plants; Pleistocene vertebrates of New York State (especially mastodons); and fossil fishes. PRI houses all non-botanical fossils and Recent mollusks formerly at Cornell University. PRI's collection of Type and Figured specimens (also one of the nation's 10 largest) includes more than 15,000 specimens, and is available online. Over the past decade, PRI has also acquired major collections from other institutions, including Syracuse University, SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Buffalo, University of Rochester, Alfred University, Wells College, and Tulane University.

Senate panel likely to vote on gun laws next week
WASHINGTON The Senate Judiciary Committee seems all but certain to start voting on an assault weapons ban and other gun curbs next week, Congress' first roll calls in response to the Newtown, Conn., slayings of 26 students and staff at an elementary school in December.
The Democratic-written bills largely follow President Barack Obama's proposals for limiting gun violence, which have been opposed by the National Rifle Association and generated little support from congressional Republicans.
- Biden takes on gun control opponents: "America's changed on this issue"
- NRA CEO: Obama gun control effort a "charade"
- Win an AR-15? Gun giveaways spark debate
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the committee chairman, said Monday that the panel would consider:
-A bill by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., banning assault weapons and ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds;
-A Leahy measure toughening federal penalties for illegal trafficking of guns, including up to 30-year sentences for people buying firearms they know will be used in crimes;
-A measure by Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., increasing federal grants for school safety measures such as installing surveillance equipment.
Leahy said the panel would also consider still evolving legislation expanding the requirement for federal background checks for gun purchases, which are now required only for transactions by federally licensed gun dealers. Requiring those checks for nearly all gun sales is a top Obama goal, and one that has received the broadest support by the public and in Congress.
The details of the bill are not yet complete as liberal Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, the No. 3 Senate Democratic leader, continues trying to reach a compromise with conservative Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.
Leahy announced plans for the panel to start voting on the measures this Thursday. But committee rules let senators postpone announced legislative work for a week, a practice that is followed routinely. The panel's top Republican, Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, said he would request that delay.
"It's just a process of making sure we have plenty of time to study" legislation, Grassley said in a brief interview.
Feinstein is chairing a Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday on her effort to ban assault weapons, a proposal that is given low odds of enactment because of opposition by many Republicans and resistance by some moderate Democrats.
Witnesses are to include Neil Heslin of Newtown, whose 6-year-old son, Jesse, was killed at the school and Dr. William Begg, an emergency room physician in Newtown who helped treat victims that day. Feinstein has said the public needs to know how gruesome assault weapons wounds can be.

The future, typical fulfilment of the feast of tabernacles
In John 7 His brethren after the flesh, still sunk in unbelief,
would have Him show Himself to the world, if He did these great
things; but the time for this was not yet come. At the fulfilment
of the type of the feast of tabernacles He will do so. The passover
had its antitype at the cross, pentecost at the descent of the Holy
Ghost. The feast of tabernacles, as yet, has had no fulfilment. It
was celebrated after the harvest and the vintage, and Israel
joyfully commemorated, in the land, their pilgrimage before
entering on the rest which God had given them in Canaan. Thus the
fulfilment of this type will be when, after the execution of
judgment (whether in discerning between the wicked and the good, or
simply in vengeance*), Israel, restored to their land, shall be in
possession of all their promised blessing. At that time Jesus will
show Himself to the world; but at the time of which we are speaking
His hour was not yet come. Meanwhile, having gone away (v. 33, 34),
He gives the Holy Ghost to believers (v. 38, 39).
Remark here, there is no pentecost brought in. We pass from the passover in John 6 to the tabernacles in John 7, in lieu of which believers would receive the Holy Ghost. As I have remarked, this Gospel treats of a divine Person on earth, not of the man in heaven. The coming of the Holy Ghost is spoken of as substituted for the last or eighth day of the feast of tabernacles. Pentecost supposes Jesus on high.
The Holy Spirit presented as the hope of faith at that time
But He presents the Holy Ghost in such a way as to make Him the hope of faith at the time in which He spoke, if God created a sense of need in the soul. If any one thirsted, let him come to Jesus and drink. Not only should his thirst be quenched, but from the inner man of his soul should flow forth streams of living water. So that coming to Him by faith to satisfy the need of their soul, not only should the Holy Ghost be in them a well of water springing up into everlasting life, but living water should also flow forth from them in abundance to refresh all those who thirsted. Observe here, that Israel drank water in the wilderness before they could keep the feast of tabernacles. But they only drank. There was no well in them. The water flowed from the rock. Under grace every believer is not doubtless a source in himself; but the full stream flows from him. This however would only take place when Jesus was glorified, and in those who were already believers, previous to their receiving it. What is spoken of here is not a work that quickens. It is a gift to those who believe. Moreover at the feast of tabernacles Jesus will show Himself to the world; but this is not the subject of which the Holy Ghost thus received is especially the witness. He is given in connection with the glory of Jesus, while He is hidden from the world. It was also on the eighth day of the feast, the sign of a portion beyond the sabbath rest of this world, and which began another period — a new scene of glory.
Observe also that, practically, although the Holy Ghost is presented here as power acting in blessing outside the one in whom He dwells, His presence in the believer is the fruit of a personal thirst, of need felt in the soul — need for which the soul had sought an answer in Christ. He who thirsts, thirsts for himself. The Holy Ghost in us, revealing Christ, becomes, by dwelling in us when we have believed, a river in us, and thus for others.
The spirit of the Jews plainly shown
The spirit of the Jews plainly showed itself. They sought to kill the Lord; and He tells them that His relationship with them on earth would soon be ended (v. 33). They need not hasten so much to get rid of Him: soon they would seek Him and not be able to find Him. He was going away to His Father.
We see clearly the difference here between the multitude and the Jews — two parties always distinguished from each other in this Gospel. The former did not understand why He spoke of the desire to kill Him. Those of Judea were astonished at His boldness, knowing that at Jerusalem they were conspiring against His life. His time was not yet come. They send officers to take Him; and these return, struck with His discourse, without laying hands on Him. The Pharisees are angry, and express their contempt for the people. Nicodemus hazards a word of justice according to the law, and brings their contempt on himself But each one goes away to his home. Jesus, who had no home until He went back to heaven whence He came, goes to the Mount of Olives, the witness of His agony, His ascension, and His return — a place which He habitually frequented, when at Jerusalem, during the time of His ministry on earth.

WHITEHOUSE STATION, NJ--(Marketwire - Jan 2, 2013) -
Pilat HR Solutions, the premier provider of human capital management technology and professional services.
Will present a complimentary webinar titled, "Maximizing Performance and Productivity When the Recovery Kicks In" as the second part of Pilat's "Surviving the Recovery" series of webinars.
Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. EST/9:00 a.m. CST/
8:00 a.m. MST/7:00 a.m. PST/3:00 p.m. GMT
To register for this event, please visit: http://ow.ly/gaksv
While many organizations take pride in how they have survived the recession, the bigger question is how well they can survive the recovery. Pilat HR Solutions' new "Surviving the Recovery" series of webinars will address some of the most challenging issues expected to arise in the impending recovery. In these three webinars, the company will challenge current thinking on critical HR practices and offer advice on how to prepare for the recovery.
In this webinar, "Maximizing Performance and Productivity When the Recovery Kicks In," Pilat HR Solutions, will explore three key truths that face organizations following the recession. The actions that organizations were forced to take during the recession made many leaner and meaner; but what happens as things improve? The webinar, second in the "Surviving the Recovery" series, will provide insight into how performance and productivity have changed and in what manner these changes influence corporate culture and future operations.
Applying a critical eye to economic conditions, attendees will learn how to reexamine priorities and employee needs potentially impacted by recession-related decisions, to determine the state of their organization.
The playback of the first part of the "Surviving the Recovery" webinar series on four common HR practices that can destroy your budget can be viewed here.

Good news everyone! Remember how everyone was pissed at Russia, mostly for invading Ukraine, but also for a lot of other reasons? Russia just told everyone to BACK. OFF. in the most wonderfully diplomatic way possible – by test-firing an intercontinental ballistic missile.
You know intercontinental ballistic missiles. They're the doomsday ones. The apocalyptic ones. The ones that everyone sees launching before the end. The ones that herald the Messiah with their 7000-mile range and their 800-kiloton warheads.
They're the fun ones.
Russia's mobile SS-25 Sickle was launched from the southern Astrakhan region, near the Caspian Sea, according to wire reports, and the dummy warhead it carried landed many miles away at a test range in Kazakhstan.
News of the launch came right after Russian President Vladimir Putin finished giving an hour-long unscripted speech where he decried the removal of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych as an "unconstitutional coup," and where he again claimed that Russian troops had not entered the Crimea, despite everyone already seeing this, this, and this, and that Ukraine protestors were not actually protestors, but rather an "orgy of radicals and nationalists," which sounds like a good time.
Guy's certainly got a flair for the dramatic.
The United States was warned before the launch, in accordance with standing disarmament treaties, according to Reuters.
If you're curious as to what an SS-25 Sickle (AKA the RS-12M Topol) launch looks like, it's pretty much this:
Like I said, fun.

Alumna Edits Full-Length Novel
As a student, Aileen Brenner worked in the space between theater and literature, between the performance of the text on the stage and the breaking down of the text on the page. In all of this, she fed her enthusiasm for the well-turned sentence. While an undergrad, Aileen was an active participant in Riverside Players and President of Fakespeare, both Shakespeare-inspired, comedic acting troupes. She also served as Editor-In-Chief of the print yearbook The Pegasus from 2007-2009.
These days, Aileen works as an editorial and advertising assistant for Trial Magazine (American Association for Justice) during the day. At night, she has been working as a freelance editor in the wider world of fiction. The first of her edited books has just been released and she is as proud a mother as the author herself. I would describe Aileen's experience working with up-and-coming author Gretchen Powell, but she says it so much better herself:
"I met Gretchen through my sister, who roomed with her their freshman year at JMU, and I got to know her better when she began blogging at Honey I Shrunk the Gretchen. We talked about writing every now and then, and even more so after I began blogging at Army Pants and Flip Flops.
Although our blogs are both nonfiction writing, Gretchen and I share an outside interest in dystopian fiction. She originally sent me just a few chapters of her first draft of Terra. She knew I was a fan of the genre and also a practiced copy editor, and she was hoping for some feedback about the set-up of the world and ideas, and her writing.
From that initial read, I was already hooked on the story and the world Gretchen had created. I gave her feedback in the style I'd learned to give feedback to playwrights working on new plays; having never edited a fiction novel before, I relied heavily on the lessons I learned during my writing workshops and drama classes at WAC, and from working at the PlayPenn New Play Development conference with Professor Michele Volansky. I instantly found that working with a new fiction draft (and a fiction writer) is strikingly similar to working with a playwright on a new play–both must define a foreign but distinct world for a new audience, and both must give us characters who define that world and draw us into it with their urgency. In giving Gretchen my initial feedback, I posed a lot of questions about her world and her characters, and it opened up a good dialogue for us to continue discussing her plot points, her characters, and the development of Terra's story and context.
When Gretchen began writing Terra (her first novel, and also the first novel in a planned trilogy), she decided to self publish. There's still a very real stigma attached to self publishing; it's perceived as something of a last resort for writers who can't get a publisher to sign on for their book idea. And I'll admit that I was a little wary of this at first as well. But Gretchen really did her research about self publishing; she had plans and lists and spreadsheets for everything from marketing, to page layout, to e-book conversions, to registering for an ISBN. Gretchen didn't only write a book–she plunged into the entire publishing process head first, and I'm pretty sure she hasn't slept for more than an hour a night for the last year.
Because Gretchen was self publishing, she was very proactive about seeking the outside help she'd need. After I provided her with initial feedback and we began a discussion about the book, we quickly spiraled into a writer-editor relationship. When she finished her first draft, we went through it together chapter by chapter, and scene by scene, to determine what was currently working, and what needed to be clarified, reworked, or cut completely. Because I was seeing the book with fresh eyes, I was able to point out inconsistencies and plot holes that Gretchen (after having read her book hundreds of times) wasn't able to see on her own. In the first two drafts, I focused mostly on bigger issues like plot, structure, character development, and the chronology of events. I sometimes marked up margins with so much text, that the questions and comments I had were twice as long as the scene they referred to. We spent a lot of time rearranging and reordering scenes, and Gretchen took my suggestions truly to heart; she was learning the pain involved in the editing process, which sometimes meant cutting full scenes and rewriting entire chapters that she'd really grown to love.
Gretchen and I went back and forth; I questioned and scrutinized every passage that lacked detail, every line of dialogue, and every character's motivation. In his Acting I class at WAC, Dale Daigle teaches that, as an actor, you must always be able to answer three questions for your character at any given point in a scene: Who am I? Where am I? and What do I want? Using these questions, Gretchen and I painstakingly accosted each character, in each scene, in her nearly 300-page book, to make sure we could justify every single action and reaction, and what it meant to the book and the story as a whole.
Throughout the editing process, my biggest challenge was to re-read the book for consistency after we'd added, edited, or removed scenes and plot points. Which happened sometimes three or four times a day. By the time Gretchen's third draft rolled around, I knew her world and her characters inside and out. Once we were satisfied with structure and consistency, we began to hone in on tightening up and clarifying her language. Although I had gone into editing her book with an eye for copy editing, I wanted to make sure to devote time to each piece of punctuation and each use of a proper noun to make sure it was telling the story accurately. Gretchen did run her more completed drafts through an outside copy editor, which not only gave her a third pair of eyes, but made sure her language was as defined as possible as well.
I'm so proud of the final product. Gretchen has been overwhelmingly thankful to me, and it has been fun and rewarding to be part of her journey, and Terra's journey. The editing process was often stressful; when deadlines are involved, you start to wonder if taking the time to flesh out all the finer details is really worth the result. Luckily, Gretchen and I reached an understanding early on that we were committed to making this book into the best version of itself, despite what that meant for our sleep schedules and sanity. I'm signed on as editor for the next two books, and I think Terra's readers will be surprised and pleased about what's to come."
Congratulations, Aileen, on your adventures in publishing! Now we have another book to add to our Winter Break Reading List.

|A marker on the Portsmouth Black Heritage Trail
for the site of the "Negro Burying Ground"
I've been following this story ever since, and visited the site in person last year. Portsmouth is a city with some carefully preserved ancient burial grounds, but this "Negro Burying Ground" was sadly neglected, paved over and houses were built on top. It is a shameful fact that this burial ground was neglected on purpose.
In the proposed site, the bodies will be re-interred with dignity in an underground vault. Life sized sculptures will represent the adults and children buried there. There will be an information kiosk and other historical markers, as well as symbolic African art. Several previous proposals were rejected by the African Burial Committee. The project is estimated to cost $1.2 million, and on Monday night, 20 December 2010, the Portsmouth city council pledged $100K in grant money towards the project titled "We Stand in Honor of Those Forgotten".
Currently there is a Black Heritage Trail in Portsmouth, which gives visitors an overview of African history in the seacoast region. It is a self guided walking tour of twenty four locations around downtown Portsmouth. More information can be found at http://www.pbhtrail.org/ a website sponsored by the Greater Portsmouth Black Heritage Trail, Inc, a nonprofit organization preserving the African American culture of this part of New Hampshire.

The Lipscomb men's and women's cross country teams competed in the Memphis Twilight meet Saturday night. While most cross country races are contested in daylight hours, more than forty college teams toed the line at the Mike Rose Complex in Memphis to compete at night under the lights.
"I had never heard of a collegiate cross country race at night, so when I found this meet I felt we had to get that experience." Said head coach Bill Taylor. "As a track athlete, I always loved racing under the lights at night."
The Bison's ran well under the lights, finishing 10th out of 42 full college teams. The men were led by Ryan Chastain who finished the 8-K course in 25:16, finishing 19th out of 341 competitors. Jordan Wilson (25:57), Andrew Shankles (26:42), Jared Carlson (27:06) and Jeff Hoover (27:18) rounded out the top five.
Ryan Bell (27:42) and Jonathan Williams (27:52) completed the top seven while Paul Wright (29:12) and Tim Cotton (30:20) also finished for the Bison Men.
"The conditions were very tough," said Taylor. "We expected a nice cool night race, but the temperatures were still in the 80's during the night races and the humidity was very thick. I have mixed feelings about this one.
"On the positive side seven of our nine finishers ran their all-time 8000m PR's. That is a big day, especially on a night like this and Ryan Chastain ran with the leaders again, which is big for him and the team. "
On the negative side the Bisons lost a couple of runners for various reasons during the race.
"We lost two key guys during the race," Taylor said. "David Wolfe, always No. 3 guy, fell out, and Clint Carter, who has been a top seven runner got spiked and tripped out of the race. I was really surprised we finished as high as tenth. Our No. 5 is still way to far back, even if David and Clint had been in the race. We've got some work to do still."
The size of the race and the design of the course combined to make the conditions less than optimum.
"The size of the race was also difficult," Taylor said. "Usually a big race like this helps you run faster. There are always people around you, so there is always someone to pull you forward or to pass. But this course is not conducive for a huge race.
" Last year they had 24 teams. This year 47 college teams entered. There are too many sharp corners and the lanes are too narrow for that many teams. But, it's good to experience tough conditions and fight through them."
The Bison's compete again next weekend in the Evansville Invite in Evansville, IN. The men's 8-K starts at 11 a.m. at the Evansville XC Course. The women's 5-K will follow.
Two weeks later Lipscomb will host the A-Sun Cross Country Championships at Vaughn's Gap in Percy Warner Park.

McIlroy: I need a green jacket
Rory McIlroy admits his Masters record is a source of disappointment and he cannot imagine ending his career without a green jacket.
McIlroy is the bookmakers' favourite for the year's first major championship, although the former world number one's best finish at Augusta National remains his share of 15th in 2011, when he held a four-shot lead going into the final round but collapsed to a closing 80.
"I'd be disappointed if I ended my career and wasn't able to go up and have breakfast in the champions' locker room," McIlroy told reporters during last week's Shell Houston Open.
"The way I play golf, the way my game is, Augusta does set up well for me. And for me not to have a top-10 coming into my sixth Masters..."
McIlroy already has two major titles to his name after winning the US Open in 2011 - just two months after his Masters meltdown - and the 2012 US PGA Championship, both by eight shots.
And the 24-year-old would love to take the third step towards a career grand slam by winning a Masters title that has evaded greats of the game like Greg Norman and Ernie Els.
"You can look at someone like Greg Norman, or the person that I look at is Ernie Els," McIlroy added. "He sees Trevor Immelman winning, he sees Charl Schwartzel win. He sees all these young South Africans; Louis Oosthuizen (losing) in a play-off.
"He should have won it in 2004 when Phil Mickelson birdied two of the last three. Mickelson was due a major at that point but he had never finished like that to win one, and all of a sudden he does. I think Ernie probably goes back every year and feels like that is the one that got away.
"I don't want to get to that point but I am 24, not 44. It would be great to win one sooner rather than later. It is the same with every competition; you don't want to wait too long for these things to happen. You want to take control of them yourself.
"Five players have won the career grand slam, I was looking at that the other day. I was looking at the ages; Tiger Woods was 24, Jack Nicklaus was 26. I think three people have done it in their 20s.
"There is no timescale, I have a lot of years left. I would love to do it. It's something that would be a huge achievement, to put yourself on that list."

Reviewed By WILLIAM F V (Seattle, WA) Reviewed for a 2009 Toyota Matrix —11/5/2008 4:52 AM
The replacement was straight forward. No problems encountered. I did however install a pre-filter on the powercore since it cannot be cleaned. After about 4 days.....the mileage began to climb. I now get about 3 MPG MORE than with a standard Volant filter. The Hemi engine breathes better and has more power which can be really felt. I will get a replacement in another 100,000 miles.

Rapper Earl Sweatshirt Slams Taylor Swift's 'Offensive' + 'Harmful' 'Shake It Off' Videoby Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Despite the enormous overnight success of Taylor Swift's 'Shake It Off' music video (which garnered more than 4 million YouTube views in less than 24 hours), it looks like not everyone is a fan. In fact, rapper Earl Sweatshirt is now calling out the 24-year-old singer for "perpetuating black stereotypes."
The Odd Future rapper took to Twitter last night to voice his opinions, stating that even though he hasn't watched the video, he knows it is "offensive" and "harmful," tweeting:
haven't watched the taylor swift video and I don't need to watch it to tell you that it's inherently offensive and ultimately harmful
— EARL (@earlxsweat) August 19, 2014
perpetuating black stereotypes to the same demographic of white girls who hide their prejudice by proclaiming their love of the culture
— EARL (@earlxsweat) August 19, 2014
The rapper continued his rant, saying:
"For instance, those of you who are afraid of black people but love that in 2014 it's ok for you to be trill or twerk or say n—-."
Swift's 'Shake It Off' video features the singer rocking a more urban look at one point, donning large hoop earrings as dancers twerk over her. Throughout the video, Swift also portrays herself as a cheerleader, ballerina, street dancer and many more characters. And while she hasn't responded to Earl Sweatshirt's remarks, we think she'll just shake 'em off — after all, that's what the song is all about.
PopCrushers + Swifties, what do you think of Earl Sweatshirt's comments? Do you think Taylor Swift's 'Shake It Off' video is offensive?
