The first real details about the final season of 'Game of Thrones' have finally been revealed including the biggest battle scene in television history…
By Damon Martin — Editor/Lead Writer
To understand the size of the final season of 'Game of Thrones', you first have to know the original plans orchestrated by show runners David Benioff and Dan Weiss when they were pitching this to HBO several years ago.
When George R.R. Martin — the author behind the 'Song of Ice and Fire' series that is the source material for 'Game of Thrones — told them the broad strokes for what he envisioned as the end of his story, the show runners knew they were going to have a very expensive road ahead to finish this series the right way.
So originally, Benioff and Weiss pitched HBO on the final season of 'Game of Thrones' as three, two-hour movies that would close out the series because they were certain this was the only way the network could fund the kind of production it would take to close out this epic fantasy tale the way Martin intended.
"We have a very generous budget from HBO, but we know what's coming down the line and, ultimately, it's not generous enough," Benioff told EW. "We end up with an epic fantasy story but with the level of familiarity and investment in the characters that are normally impossible in a two-hour movie."
HBO shot down the idea because they are dedicated to their subscriber base rather than gambling at the box office but instead the network upped the budget for the final season at more than $15 million per episode to allow Benioff and Weiss to finish 'Game of Thrones' how they wanted.
The result was a six-episode final season that will debut in 2019 that took more than 10 months to shoot that left everybody involved with the series gasping at how 'Game of Thrones' will finally come to an end next year.
Details on the final season have been nearly non-existent with cast members only using words like 'epic' or 'heartbreaking' when taking about the last six remaining episodes but there's not been a single bit of story leaked due to insane levels of security and secrecy to keep anything from the public eye.
During filming on the final season of 'Game of Thrones', the production crew even had 'drone killer' guns on set to shoot down anybody flying overhead trying to snap photos while scenes were being shot on location.
For the first time, HBO is allowing a few minor details to be released about the final season including how the first episode will open with a return to Winterfell with the King in the North returning home.
The 'Game of Thrones' final season debut is expected to mirror the first episode of the series in some ways but instead of King Robert Baratheon leading his caravan into Winterfell, this time it will be Queen Daenerys Targaryen and her army of Dothraki and Unsullied landing in the north for the first time.
The initial arrival of Daenerys and her army will also cause some conflict between Jon Snow and his sister Sansa Stark, who isn't immediately pleased with her brother that he bent the knee to the dragon queen. The opening scenes will also see many characters meeting for the first time as well as a few reunions, although there's nothing specifically mentioned.
That said, it's safe to assume one of the biggest moments will be Jon Snow finally reuniting with his sister Arya Stark, who he hasn't seen since he left to join the Night's Watch back in the first season. This will also likely be a reunion of sorts for Tyrion Lannister and his 'wife' Sansa Stark because they were never divorced but rather she fled King's Landing following the death of Joffrey Baratheon.
Meanwhile, the other teaser that was talked about in the extensive 'Game of Thrones' preview was the epic battle that's been hinted at since the very first episode of the series. Again, no specific details were revealed but this will be the final battle between the living and the dead as Jon and Daenerys lead their forces against the Night King and the Army of the Dead.
To understand just how immense this battle scene will be, Peter Dinklage (who plays Tyrion Lannister) described it when compared to the famous episode 'The Battle of the Bastards', which involved Jon Snow leading a fight against Ramsey Bolton for control of the North.
"It's brutal," Dinklage said. "It makes the Battle of the Bastards look like a theme park."
This epic battle scene won't just involve a few characters, a ton of soldiers and take place over the course of several minutes. Instead, David Benioff teases that this will be a truly epic endeavor with a ton of layers to the battle and he trusted director Miguel Sapochnik — who also directed the 'Battle of the Bastards' episode — to oversee the production.
"Having the largest battle doesn't sound very exciting — it actually sounds pretty boring," Benioff said. "Part of our challenge, and really, Miguel's challenge, is how to keep that compelling… we've been building toward this since the very beginning, it's the living against the dead, and you can't do that in a 12-minute sequence."
There were 55 nights of shooting on this particular battle scene — and that was just for what took place outdoors at the Winterfell set. The remainder of the production moved indoors and from there Sapochnik was working for several weeks shooting all the different scenes necessary to put this battle together.
The Winterfell stage was massively expanded for the sake of this particular battle scene with a new castle exterior as well as a larger courtyard and much, much more being added specifically for this battle scene.
By the sound of things, this will likely be the biggest and most expensive battle scene in the history of television.
And that's just one piece of the total puzzle that's coming together for the final season of 'Game of Thrones' because everybody involved — from the show runners to the writers to the cast and crew — did everything possible to bring this story to a conclusion that would be satisfying for the faithful audience that loves this show.
When it was all said and done and filming had wrapped, actor Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow, admittedly wept as he read the final page of his script for the six and final episode of the series.
"Every season, you read at the end of the last script 'End of Season 1,' or 'End of Season 2,'" Harington said. "This read 'End of Game of Thrones.'"
There's still no word on the first trailer for 'Game of Thrones' season 8 but there's a chance that arrives before the end of 2018 with the final six episodes debuting on HBO in 2019.

When you think of the prospects to watch in Saturday's draft, the name Justin Donati does not immediately come to mind. Yet the 19-year-old Toronto St. Michael's Majors center may just surprise all the prognosticators and be a mid to late-round pick. The 5'10, 170 lb Oakville, Ontario native went undrafted in 2005, but after he put on an incredible performance during the 2005-06 regular season, NHL teams have to be at least thinking that Donati deserves a second look.
Tied for sixth overall in the OHL, Donati recorded 109 points (46 goals, 63 assists) in 62 games, while maintaining a +16 plus/minus. And this is on a mediocre team that barely made it into the playoffs. Oh by the way, the fellow he was tied with? It was top prospect Bryan Little. Only Rob Schremp, David Bolland, Wojtek Wolski, Dylan Hunter and Evan McGrath tallied more. So who is this guy, and why isn't he on everyone's radar?
Donati is actually a twin, and he has played with his brother Tyler for virtually all of his hockey career, including this past season. According to Justin, they have played together since they were 5 years old, but all that is about to change. Two weeks ago, Tyler was traded to the Belleville Bulls, and there is no indication that Justin will follow. This will be the first time that the twins will play hockey apart, but it is only the first time in what each brother hopes will be long separate hockey careers.
Both were drafted by the Oshawa Generals in 2002, and then traded together to the Majors. It really was Tyler who was highly-touted at that point, and he was drafted by the Generals in the sixth round of the Priority Draft. Justin was an afterthought, and was Oshawa's 15th round (and last) selection that year. It was Tyler who had an excellent rookie OHL season in 2003-04, and Tyler that was electrifying the fans. Justin played well, but certainly did not look exceptional on the ice. Part way through the twins' second season with the Generals, Tyler, who at the time was the team's leading scorer, and Justin, who was recovering from an injury, took exception with Oshawa's coaching and demanded a trade. Unlike other trade demands that are usually made, the Donati twins decided to go home and left the team awaiting the inevitable trade.
That trade came in early January 2005, but the brothers have not been able to completely recover from the stigma that was placed upon them for the way they left the Generals. The January 2005 trade dealt both brothers to Toronto in return for Cal Clutterbuck (and a draft pick). Every report indicates that the twins had no similar problems with the Majors, and, up until Tyler's trade earlier this month, it seemed that the twins and the Majors management had been a good match.
While Tyler's game seems to have leveled off some this past season (72 points in 68 regular season games, with a plus/minus of –5, and 50 PIM), Justin has hit his stride. Although he is not particularly strong on the puck, and does not win many battles along the boards, when the puck arrives around an opponent's net, there is Justin, in position to make the play. The puck finds him, and he sure knows how to finish. If you think that perhaps it's just his chemistry with his linemates, he seems to be able to do that even when not playing with Cory Vitarelli and Tyler Haskins. Justin scored 3 points (2 goals and 1 assists) at the OHL All-Star game in February with other linemates.
If Justin returns to the Majors in the fall, it is very possible that he will play as a prospect whose rights are owned by an NHL team. Hockey's Future interviewed Justin earlier this season about his improved play and his aspirations.
HF: Where has this sudden increase in offensive production come from?
JD: Last year, I did score about a point a game, so it was not bad, but this year, with the new rules and more power play time, it has really helped my totals. I have also really been helped out by having linemates, Tyler Haskins and Cory Vitarelli, who I have developed a chemistry with.
HF: What about your defensive game? Last year your plus/minus was –10, now you are well onto the plus side.
JD: I have worked really hard on my defensive game, and it is really starting to pay off. I also have really good defensive players behind me, so that helps a lot.
HF: How much has playing with the team captain Tyler Haskins helped your game?
JD: It's helped me enormously. He is basically a defensive forward and digs pucks out of the corners and always seems to know where I am; he just finds me on the pass. I work off him and he works off me. It couldn't be better for us or for the team.
HF: What kind of goals did you set for yourself this year?
JD: All I can do is work hard. If I do get drafted, that will be great. But if that does not happen, I have to keep working. I guess my goals for this season have always been just focus on playing my game every night and the rest will take care of itself.
HF: If you don't get drafted, then what is next?
JD: Hopefully, I won't have to worry about that, but if I don't get selected, I will be very happy to come back and play for the Majors.
HF: To get to the NHL, what do you think you have to improve upon?
JD: Probably the most important is my strength and conditioning. That's definitely the part of my game that needs the most work.
HF: What are you doing to overcome those concerns?
JD: Over the summer I train very hard. During the year I train two to three times per week, but during the summer, I work out as much as I physically can.
Although it is Justin who is more likely to be drafted, as Tyler did not have the year he hoped for, Tyler too is longing to be drafted. When HF caught up with him, Tyler said his "goal is to get drafted or, if not, get a walk-on for an NHL tryout this year." After his junior season was over, Tyler signed an amateur tryout contract with the UHL Motor City Mechanics, and registered one assist in four games. Although it is possible for Tyler to be drafted on Saturday, the odds are against that happening. In fact, it is most likely that this twin will be playing an overage year in Belleville next season.
As for Justin, in the new NHL, where the smaller skilled players play more of a role, his dreams of being drafted are not over yet.
Both brothers await Saturday as long-shots, twins dreaming of the same ultimate prize.

It's not clear if Tobi who resigned from the bank on his Big Bother Naija 2018 quest has changed his mind about returning to his corporate job.

Yup, couldn't stand the compact crank, so got a proper one :)

A nice pair..

Beautiful! May I suggest black bar tape on the blue one though (or a white saddle)?
I know this cell phone picture doesn't warrant inclusion in anything called a gallery, but I wanted to share as it marked my first ride on modern carbon and my first ride on any Derosa. It's a parts bin build thrown together by my brother for when I visited him in Northern Ireland last week. I rode it as is, besides raising the saddle about an inch. What a lovely ride. I felt instantly comfortable once the saddle was at my preferred height. I guess it's just another case of wheels in the right place and all that.
Love the polished Record cranks/brakes on this bike...I hope Campy go back to polished one day...

...just to win a salami in ridiculous races.
I found this King X-Light for a great price and couldn't really say no. I've always wanted to try a carbon De Rosa, but was never ready to shell out that much for one. This one was reasonable enough I won't hesitate to race it.
I'll take better photos when I can, but this one sure is pretty:

Chieftains battle, but fall to De Soto in semifinal
October 25, 2011
Photo Gallery
Tonganoxie volleyball at sub-state
The Tonganoxie High volleyball team went 1-1 at a sub-state tournament Saturday at Saint James Academy, in Lenexa. The Chieftains defeated Basehor-Linwood in the first round and lost to De Soto in a semifinal. (Photos courtesy of Mark Greathouse, Greathouse Photography)
They might have come up short of making it to a sub-state final, but Tonganoxie High's volleyball players and coaches didn't consider Saturday's semifinal loss to De Soto a failure.
Chieftains co-coach Brandon Parker said they obviously wanted to beat the Wildcats and advance to face St. James Academy on its home floor in Lenexa, but there was nothing for them to feel ashamed about in regards to a 23-25, 25-20, 25-20 loss to DHS.
Parker said the semifinal was a great match "with two really good teams," and he never felt like THS gave up, which made the season-ending defeat relatively easier to handle.
"That's the way it needs to be at a sub-state," he said of No. 3 seed Tonganoxie's willingness to battle No. 2 De Soto.
A big part of what made DHS, which lost to St. James in the final, so tough to beat, Chieftains senior Brooklyn Kerbaugh said, was the strength of its play above the net.
"They had a lot of talent," Kerbaugh said of De Soto. "Their setter was awesome and they had some big good hitters."
Parker told his players they needed to be "up and swinging" against the Wildcats and be willing to hit it hard back. He said Tonganoxie, which registered 35 kills in the match, didn't back down from that challenge.
"That's pretty much what game one was about," Parker said of the team's two-point win in the best-of-three match.
However, the co-coach said THS got into a big hole in the second game and even though the Chieftains worked their way back within a point, the amount of energy and emotion they had expended (some of it being used up in a 19-25, 25-14, 25-15 win against Basehor-Linwood in the first round) caught up with them against a talented De Soto squad.
Said senior libero Megan Hummelgaard: "We did rally for a little bit in that second match. I think that did wear us out quite a bit."
In their semifinal match, Parker said, Tonganoxie (29-11) and DHS (34-8) both rode waves of momentum successfully.
"They sustained longer waves than we did," he said.
By the time the third game ended, the Chieftains' season was over. Kerbaugh said although the team's goal had been to make the final, it was more difficult dealing with the reality of the season's end than the unattained goal.
"We just all realized that we'd never play together again," Kerbaugh said. "But I think it was a good way to end the season, because it was a good fight."
Hummelgaard agreed, and said there was little need for her, Kerbaugh and the team's other seniors — Kailan Kuzmic, Sagan Scates and Haley Smith — to be discouraged.
"I think all of us gave our all. And that's all you can really ask for as a senior," she said.
Parker said he hoped the players' ability to work together showed at sub-state and said wining the final two games against BLHS, after losing the first, was an example of that.
"Every season you have some peaks and valleys and when they were in the valleys they worked to get back out of it," he said.
Though the Chieftains will lose five seniors to graduation, Jenny Whitledge, who had a team-high 18 kills against De Soto, Hannah Kemp, Madee Walker and Katelyn Waldeier will all be back for next season.

text: It looks like plastics may not be something for the squeamish in the not-too-distant future. Researchers from the University of Southern Mississippi recently revealed a new type of plastic they've been working on that takes its inspiration from human skin -- it "bleeds" red when it's scratched or cut and then heals itself when it's exposed to light. As Popular Science notes, self-healing plastics aren't something entirely new, but the "bleeding" (achieved using small molecular links or "bridges" that break when the plastic is scratched) is, as is the fact that this plastic can heal itself over and over again in the same spot. What's more, as it's made from water-based copolymers, it's also more environmentally-friendly than other plastics. Of course, it's all a ways from being used in actual products, but the researchers see no shortage of possibilities, including everything from self-healing car fenders to aircraft applications that could warn of problems before they get too severe.


text: Jennifer McQuay As a yoga instructor, Jennifer McQuay enjoys sharing the value of this ancient form of exercise to people of all ages and abilities. "I am trained in Accessible Yoga, which means I can instruct people with special needs such as amputees and those with age-related mobility issues. Many people have the impression that yoga is difficult and only for the athletic and physically fit, but has benefits for all of us—both physically and mentally. "With the use of props such as chairs, a wall, belts and yoga blocks, most everyone is able to participate," she noted. Yoga brings calm to the body while strengthening muscles and improving balance. Jennifer experienced that positive vibe when first taking classes at a community college. She quickly became interested in becoming an instructor and received her 200-hour teaching certificate. Now, she is working on her 300-Hour Advanced Yoga certificate and plans to complete the course in May, 2020. When she, her husband and son moved back to the area, HealthPoint Fitness in Jackson offered her a place to teach yoga classes. "Living here is different than St. Louis, but it is a good life." Jennifer says. "We wanted to come back to be close to family and to pursue the careers we wanted." The Jackson facility now offers two Yoga classes taught by Jennifer.

You will know I love all things bike and so having the opportunity to attend an evening with Bianchi Dama to try some of their bikes and find out more about their collaboration with Charles James was something I was quite excited about.
Arriving at the venue, with my friend Helen from 1 Vision 2 Girls, we were two of the first and so had a chance to admire the bikes they had with them. Helen and I are both keen cyclists and have several bikes each but the rule is always n plus one right so no technically always on the look out for the next. Especially true for me as I am actually looking for my next bike and could it be a Bianchi?
It was an interesting opportunity for both of us as I mentioned we are both keen cyclists but neither of us wear a lot of make up and don't have a skin care regime either (I know shock horror) so mostly we use water in the shower on our skin so finding out more about the active skin care range was going to be good for us both.
Once we got the right size bike and had helmets on we set off in a small group with Tasha, Bethany and Becky, three of the ladies from the Bianchi Dama women's performance cycling team. It was a short easy spin around the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and gave the opportunity to talk to the ladies about their recent trip completing the Tour of Belgium and what they really thought of the bikes. I think when venturing into cycling it's easy to be swayed by those around you when it comes to picking a bike for example I have always had the same brand as it is the preferred one of my husband who is a keen cyclist and cycling coach. I am open to others as I search for the next one and the ladies were saying how they've tried many over the years and genuinely found the Bianchi bikes to be super comfortable from the start. This was good news and whilst I can't give a full review based on a 10/15 minute ride the bike was light, smooth, easy to change gear and really comfortable – it's a good start!
When we got back there was a short straight stretch which gave the opportunity to test the bikes a little more and have some fun.
After mingling for a while there was a talk, which again as a keen female cyclist I found really interesting. I mean it started with the comment 'Women's cycling is the place to be' and that got my attention as I am biased but of course agree wholeheartedly!
The three ladies we cycled with from the team were on the panel and as mentioned earlier they have recently returned from the Tour of Belgium which is a female pro race over ending up in Flanders after four days riding. There are 9 on the team and they spoke of how they are all great friends and real friendships too, which makes a massive difference and sees great retention within the team which speaks volumes and they always look like they're enjoying it. I am more than aware that being part of a cycle club you join with a common interest and goal but these people end up like an extended family and friendships are soon forged and that makes the sport even more enjoyable.
These are ladies who all work full time and so being at the level they are have to fit in training to their busy lives. They spoke about how they run off that energy level and it becomes a habit, often seeing them scratching the walls when resting, which is something that I think a lot of people, myself included, can relate to as it is always a balancing act. On average these ladies train for 15/20 hours per week on the bike with one member of the team who has covered 20,000km per year for the previous three years – and is a full time vet too!
Having to fit in such rigorous training alongside full time jobs requires a certain level of dedication and the ladies spoke about how their typical week is comprised. It is no surprise that longer rides take place at the weekend and are often 4/5 hours with the aim of completing around 3 sessions during the week, often being early morning, but making these count with some focused structure ie including efforts. There are always tired with achey legs but the fun that comes with this makes you want to do again and all whilst still smiling. Through the winter there is an increased focus in the gym with strength and core work, which sees many benefits in cycling; if your core is strong it really helps for sprints and climbing. Some add running, which is difficult as different fitness to cycling but does allows for fitness in all weather outside which cycling doesn't always lend itself to. Cyclocross is something that some of the ladies also take part in through the winter and really takes on the extremes of weather and mud – I love mud so maybe this is something I might explore in future?
The team are keen to use the heritage of Bianchi to represent in an honourable and exciting way and the trademark turquoise kit and bikes was seen throughout the event. The girls spoke of the collaboration with Charles James and how cycling can be semi glamorous, being equally surprised that until now no one has got involved in this area previously with most not making skincare regime a priority (that would include me!) but how they genuinely feel the new range is fab. When cycling your skin really comes into contact with all the elements often finishing a ride or training session with skin that can be covered in mud, dust, grit, wet, and sweat and naturally this all affects your skin. The range includes two products with one being an active cleanse and the second a cream to enhance and protect. It absorbs easily, contains spf which sounds amazing as sun cream whilst cycling and sweating is not the best mix, it can be worn with make up over it, and is light enough to wear on a daily basis, so is a massive help as a product for sportspeople and those with an active lifestyle.
A huge positive for me to hear was how this innovative sponsorship with Charles James and Bianchi has been developed for the team and with the team and I quote 'is a partnership that works'. Leading an active lifestyle and cycling several times a week I've admitted I don't have a strict skincare regime, however, I have noticed how the elements can leave my skin feeling very dry and when products like these are developed actually involving the very people who they are aimed for my interest naturally peaks. The ladies tested the products during the Tour of Belgium ride with positive results, taken to protect their skin whilst cycling.
Caroline, the mechanic for the team, was also present and I found her parts of the talk really interesting to learn more about the behind the scenes elements that being part of the pro team involves. She spoke about how technology is important for the bikes especially with regards to lightness and strength amongst other things. One of the key things in Bianchi bikes is countervail (membrane in carbon) reduces the vibration you can experience on some carbon bikes. All of the Bianchi bikes are entirely Shimano equipped, some with di2 and some with mechanical gearing, which Caroline noted is easier to fix. The team experienced a Di2 failure at a national championship this but managed to rectify even though you cannot see the issue with di2. Caroline also spoke of how it is harder to find bad kit now but the benefits of this is that you don't have to go to the very top end to get the benefits, for example the last iteration of Shimano 105 and Ultegra have under a 200g difference but a £600 price difference.
I was really impressed to hear that the entire list of mechanicals for the team over the season was limited to:
- 1 di2
- 3 punctures
- 1 skipped chain
Awesome work Caroline!
When it comes to cycling the race that most know is of course Tour de France and unfortunately there is not one halo event that stands above everything else to showcase women's cycling. The main events to note are:
Whilst the above is great it shows that women's cycling is not yet at the same level as the mens. Getting live coverage of cycling is a big thing and there is a need to make the good women's races better and have more media coverage and more money to be invested. This is an area that is growing but it is a long slow process, which is unfortunate as women's cycling is exciting and less predictable. Caroline mentioned that the women's races tend to be far more attacking.
One thing the ladies were surprised in Belgium about was that there are genuine fans and at present women's cycling is also more accessible than the men's racing, often working out of the back of cars so fans have access to the riders for autographs and photos.
Today is the first day of me using the new active skincare products and I walked to the station noticing how nice the scent was. I am looking forward to carrying on using it whilst I train and will follow up with how I found it.
In the meantime I have been online and fully customised the Bianchi bike that is on my wish list – it's Christmas soon right?

5 hour boat tour of the Bay AND I get to learn about ecology? Sign me up!
The only bad part was that we had to be there at 7:30 in the morning and if you know me at all…that is asking A LOT! However, somehow Chris and I managed to be at Pier 40 in San Francisco at this ungodly hour. I didn't know quite what to expect, but I soon found myself letting out a huge net while on a research vessel making its way through the Bay. We pulled the net in and found a plethora of cool interesting animals I didn't even know existed out there!
I have rather an obsession over nudibranchs (sea slugs) so this one below truly made my day.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience. We got to catch fish, pull up mud from the bottom (only 18ft deep!), and do some water testing. Plus, there was an excellent view of the city the entire time. I would definitely recommend this as a worthwhile adventure. Oh and make sure to join the mud club while you're out there! ~B

In September, AB will have been around for 40 years and we celebrate that in style. During this celebratory season, we temporarily delegate the work of our programmers to various national and international programmers who already have links with AB.
No better way to kick off a fortieth season than with an outstanding party weekend. So that's exactly what we plan to do!
On Saturday 21 September we hand the keys of the Main Hall over to the Dewaele brothers. With DEEWEE, they program a full evening in which, of course, they too appear on the bill as 2manydjs. The rest of the line-up will be announced shortly.
Then the Stroom label takes on the programming in the Club. Already currently confirmed: underground favourites Nosedrip and young Brussels DJ Victor De Roo.
Tickets available now.
True to tradition, Global Street Sounds follows on Sunday 22 September (Car-free Sunday). Due to road works, not in the Steenstraat this time but in the Boulevard Anspach. Brussels label 'Rebel Up!' composes the evening programme in the AB Club this year. On the bill: La Yegros, Daniel Dzidzonu and Susobrino. You can find more information about the artists and tickets on this page.

Pin-tailed Wydah Bird
The Pin-tailed Wydah bird is striking and improbable looking. It is one of my favorites.
This one heads out to forage along the roadside in the Serengeti but I've seen them in Dar es Salaam as well.
They have a beautiful rhythmic pulsing flight, no doubt caused by the aerodynamic challenges inherent in carrying such a fabulous tail.
I wish I knew more about them. I'm glad they are fairly common in Tanzania.

WASHINGTON — The fate of the proposed new F.B.I. headquarters, to be built near the nation's capital in return for its current building on Pennsylvania Avenue, is embroiled in a behind-the-scenes funding dispute involving the bureau, the General Services Administration and the federal Office of Management and Budget.
Disagreement over how to pay for the 2.1-million-square-foot headquarters for 11,000 employees at one of three suburban sites is holding up release of the critical second request for site-specific proposals, draft environmental impact statements and the names of up to five development teams chosen to submit bids, according to governmental sources and others with knowledge of the discussions.
"The fundamental problem with these federal real property assets is that there's no money to replace and modernize them," said Daniel M. Tangherlini, who was the administrator of the G.S.A., the government's landlord, until he left for the private sector in February. "But there is also no money to leave them the way they are."
Currently, he noted, there is netting on one side of the J. Edgar Hoover building, a 41-year-old Brutalist structure, to prevent concrete from falling onto pedestrians below.
Renovating the building would cost $850 million to $1.1 billion, according to the G.S.A., but that would not solve the problem because it houses only 52 percent of the headquarters staff.
Congress has mandated that all of the employees now scattered among 21 leased facilities in the region — costing the government $168 million annually in rents — be moved to one location. Eliminating those leases could save the government some $50 million a year, about $1 billion over 20 years, according to one estimate.
That is the long view, but it is the near term that is posing the problem.
Last December, the G.S.A. sought to gauge the interest and qualifications of developers, asking them to assemble teams and submit their financials and qualifications by Feb. 20. Six groups came forward, from which the G.S.A. is to select up to five to make site-specific proposals. That selection, along with draft environmental impact statements, was to be released in the spring and the developer chosen this fall. But in May, the government announced a delay of several months.
The government's next request for proposals does not have to include its plans to pay for the new building, which would not be completed until, perhaps, 2023; only after that would the 6.7-acre Hoover site be turned over for demolition and redevelopment. But no award can be made until the funding is secured.
In August, the Office of Management and Budget notified the F.B.I. and the G.S.A. that there was no money in the budget to cover costs for the project, including what the government might pay up front to acquire the chosen site or to rent back the facility once it is built. How to make the developer whole if the value of the Hoover building is less than its cost to build the new headquarters is also at issue.
A congressional appropriation is an option, but it is considered unlikely. An alternative would be to have the developer include the cost of acquiring the new headquarters property in its formal bid, essentially an add-on that would be charged to the government.
The budget office has told the bureau it must fund the project's costs from its annual operating budget, according to an official with direct knowledge of the discussions who was not authorized to speak on the record. Under another scenario, the government would own the land, lease it to the developer, who would build the headquarters, and lease it back to the government upon completion. But the budget agency would prefer a plan in which, as Mr. Tangherlini described it, "the full costs have to be reflected in the budget for the year in which the obligation is made."
There is a widespread belief that the Hoover site, despite its prime location blocks from the Capitol and the White House, will be worth much less than the cost of constructing the new headquarters. How to compensate the developer for the difference has been a major part of the discussion.
In February, William Dowd, the G.S.A.'s project executive, said, without giving specifics, that arrangements would be made "to make the developer whole. We will provide specific information on the financing and transaction structure in Phase 2."
Putting together a formal proposal of the kind required in the next phase will not be cheap, costing perhaps as much $2 million, given all the planning, studies and consultants involved. In fairness to the bidders, one development lawyer said, a tentative funding plan should be part of the next public release.
Richard Haley, the F.B.I.'s assistant director for finance, facilities and real estate, was unavailable to answer questions about the project, according to an agency spokeswoman. The spokeswoman referred questions to the G.S.A., which did not respond to repeated requests for comment. David J. Haun, O.M.B. deputy associate director, also did not respond to interview requests.
Plans to replace the Hoover building have drawn widespread interest. An initial "industry day" in 2013 to unveil the scope of the project attracted hundreds of developers, consultants and others to a meeting at the General Services Administration. After the G.S.A. made public its preferred three sites — two in Maryland and one in Virginia — and received submissions from major developers in February, the project seemed to have achieved some momentum.
While the next crucial steps were delayed, the final award is still on the schedule for next May. Word had been circulating that the public "Phase 2" would occur in early September, but that has been pushed back because of discussions over funding.
A related issue involves the sale of the sites to the government. The Springfield, Va., site is already almost entirely federally owned, but it is considered the least likely choice. The C.I.A. has a major secure facility there, and the cost of relocating it is estimated at $500 million to $800 million, an expense the developer would have to bear.
Another tract, 80 acres in Landover, Md., is owned by Lerner Enterprises, a major developer of regional malls and offices. The third, in Greenbelt, Md., beside a commuter rail station, is owned by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. A development group has an agreement with the transit authority to acquire and resell it to the government, which in turn has an option to buy it for the F.B.I. The government's options to purchase the Maryland sites, reportedly for more than $100 million each, expire next July.
"My No. 1 concern is the fiscal thing and transaction structure," said Garth Beall, a development lawyer associated with the Greenbelt site. "That's what keeps me up at night. I think G.S.A. has a lot of wishes but not a lot of concrete plans; maybe I'm wrong. It's easy to send out requests for information, but when you're talking about writing checks and putting shovels in the ground, it's different, it's crunchtime."
Whether the Office of Management and Budget will agree to an operating lease to pay for the project is "the billion-dollar question," Mr. Beall added. He said he was "skeptical" the matter would be decided quickly.
While there is more pressure now to resolve the funding issues, Mr. Tangherlini, the former General Services administrator, said these discussions had been going on for some time. Their resolution now is critical, he said, because of the deteriorating condition of the Hoover building.
"The simple fact is I don't actually believe the no-build option, the freezing-it-in-amber option, is an option," Mr. Tangherlini said.

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has issued a directive to internet service providers to block the access of at least 10 URLs in Pakistan that were allegedly involved in publishing propaganda material against Malala Yousafzai, we have confirmed with sources.
At least three ISPs confirmed ProPakistani about the blockade orders from PTA and have consequently blocked all the mentioned websites, mainly a blog called "American Everyman", run by Scott Creighton.
Other URLs, that were blocked, are forums that had re-published the stories appearing on "American Everyman".
"American Everyman" (http://willyloman.wordpress.com/) has various blog entries about Malala Yousafzai, the 14-year girl who was shot in the head by a Talibaan operative for preaching education for girls in Swat.
Scott Creighton, in his blogs, tries to raise questions that lead to suspicion that America has alleged role in attack on Malala for achieving various goals, mainly related to war against terrorism. Scott terms the attack on Malala as a staged incident.
PTA Spokesperson didn't confirm ProPakistani of the government's directive for blocking website or the reasons for the blockage and said that she isn't aware of any such thing. She, however, promised to revert back as soon as she gets hold of anything on this.
Update: (6:05 PM)
A PTA spokesperson called in to clarify that regulator is just following orders issued by Ministry of Information Technology, which keeps on sending such directives (of blocking websites) to PTA for implementation on almost daily basis.
PTA said that reasons for the blockade of up-mentioned websites are better known to Ministry of Information Technology and PTA is just implementing orders issued by the Ministry.
Like they say in urdu "Choor ki darhi main tinka".
hahahahah sahi kaha
Malala Case is Pure Drama by Government of Pakistan & America
I have HTTPSEverywhere installed in Chrome which forces https where possible and the PTA doesn't have enough guts to block SSL traffic yet (It would need IP-level blocking I think?) so I can still access the site fine :P and of course all other blocked sites which support SSL – YouTube etc. – more people need to know this.
By using HTTPS youtube does get open but it doesnt play the videos
It works most the time for me but yeah it does have problems playing videos from time to time.
works fine for me
Bold comment from an Admin
Purpose: Inflame discussion
Background: Link exchange deal btween propakistan.pk & willyloman.wordpress.com
Why are both sites reporting each other????
Ya kia baqwas he agr easa he chalta rha th aik din internet he ban ho jay ga.
Mediaa Ki Rang Baziyaa :P
KyA ghalat kaha. sub thek kaha us ny. americans ny 1 arrow sy 2 targets lagaye.
1 todo military operation in wazirastan
2 to take away muslims from that film
3: to Divert Attention form Imran Khan's world famous peace march against Drones !
World famous? Oh my GOD! I missed that part of the story. I heard that he wore skirt in that march.
But you can still open this blog with simple trick.
Neither before, not now should there be any blockage or censorship.
The American Everyman site seems to be run by a psychopath. Taliban accepted this brutal and barbaric act and even the strongest supporters of Taliban who had connections with them and sympathized with them have condemned this act strongly.
Social media is a mess at the moment where the supporters of these terrorists make fake pictures and fake comments to confuse the nation.
Agreed with you
And how do you know that they are Taliban??
who are they?
lols. Every Pakistani except you knows that who actually are they.They are AMERICANS.
That's the thing my man. Every point of view against OFFICIAL POW is always from psychopaths, religious extremists, Taliban, Al Qaeda etc etc. But our governments, they are such nice little angels. Aren't they? Wake Up. False Flag operations are well documented by some sane people of US and western World.
Who are Taliban? Have you ever met them? How many of us have gotten first hand data/info about them?
There are dozens of Malalas and brothers of Malala dyeing everyday in different parts of Pakistan. I've NEVER seen this kind of media coverage for them. Give me a good reason her life is more important than the little kid who lived in her neighborhood(Wazirstan and Karachi) who got killed by a drone or by some terrorist. Why they are nothing to all of us and ONE girl is everything? (What happened to her should not happen to anyone innocent. It's was a brutal act by some terrorist. I don't know which terrorist.)
lol Who told u that Taliban Accepted Responsibility ? Geo News nd other mainstream Pakistani Channels ?? lol they are real Psychopaths nd not as credible as American Every month .
look at this image and then comment what you say ?
look at this image and comment what you say on it ?
true or not ?
@aamir7:disqus is it true ?
the same pciture (on the left) is also posted on express tribune blog in Adam B Ellik's article, so it is definitely real.
yes its true… ./
Definitely true… Journalist would have been killed by Taliban to cover the story. This image was posted by the Journalist Himself.
Please search NYtimes. Wait let me grab the link for you.
Kindly go through the below article. The journalist himself posted the picture which has been manipulated in Social media.
malala yousafzai is the member of ppp, she annouced that she she want to become benazir in future
here is another image
i do believe whatever you are saying to support the argument but the pasted image is fabricated
doesn't seem fabricated to me, the scene has been captured from different angles. besides its quite likely that they had a meeting since Malala was their mouthpiece.
this picture is taken from a documentary published in new York tyms so can't b fabricated :D
I have seen the video, this image is real.
Aamir Bhai can you help to share the link. Thanks!
Here you go. Its a 30 mins documentary:
Thanks Aamir!
Imae is absolutely real and is taken from A DOCUMENTARY… not just any video that is underground. I saw this documentary three years ago when in Karachi the school my kids go to showed it to the kids to infrom them about the importance of education and how valuable its is.
The video is available for anyone to see, Please search Malala NYTimes video. Malala raised her voice against Taliban, The Government and as seen in the video… against American convoy. Sadly the Talibans tried to assassinate for her courage.
Thanks for posting this Aamir. All of us know in our hearts that this is a paid media propoganda.
Our Govt is involved in this whole game and wanted to start the operation and earn $$$$. But PTA is also thirsty for $$$$$.
PTA: Kuch tu hamein bhi dai do bhai zardari sahb.
Mil kar kam karna acha hota hai zardari bhai!!!!
Malala is already a propaganda to away muslims n pakistanis from movie issue n make operation there…Ohhhh The Media The GEO(The Jew)…
Really? Good then. You can stop killing your own people over some cheapo idiotic movie.
So we can kill our own people over some "Brilliant" directed movie?
What's the use of word 'cheapo idiotic movie' here?
To tumhein kia mirchi lag rahi hai?
LOL! agar wo so called movie kisi ache director ne direct ki hoti to phr kia jaiz ho jaata apnay logoun ko maarna? simple question hai aur mirchi to tumhain lag gae hai shayad.
lol obviously not justified in that case too. Cheap ko cheap nai to aur kia kahun.. pata nai tum itna personally kion le rahey hai lagta hai tumhare mamu nai banai hai wo movie. Kisi famous director ne ki hoti to at least koi jawaz hota itna uchalnay aur "WEST" pe itni tanqeed karne ka.
Who are you? A 5 year old kiddo? (Read your message again and you'll know why I said that). I am 'zipping' this conversation so you're free to post whatever you want. Enjoy!
Yeah am a moron for replying to a troll like you.
america never blocked alex jones
pta and ptcl r bunch of idiots when it comes to blocking
daily motion video server blocked
ptclworkers,com blocked
chk my post at wp
y they are blocking everything from us. where we will get information its mean we just have to believe our crappy media.
Pakistan Telecommunication Authority is not able to block a single website because everything should be open by using proxybypass, VPN or CyberGhost… ./
pta aur ptcl ka kya kehna ptclworkers.com bhi block kar di in jaholoon nay
Advocates of an open free internet take notice… ./
Very good decision by PTA also kick taliban out of pakiatan and operation in waziristan is must needed.
Operation will disperse these terrorists in every city of Pakistan. Then even our homes, masjids and schools will not be safe.
Negotiate, educate and negotiate. Even if it takes the lives of thousands of those that are looking for peace. We cannot stoop as low as these people. Operation with those that are completely brainwashed and beyond therapy.
Plz Open Your Eyes first.. See whats happening and then speak those words
Well we not support taliban but using malala is not acceptable by those media USA
they care then stop dron hell yes if my 9 family members including my
little borther killed in dron i never support pakistan if someone comes
to me and brain wash me then yes i put rifle in my hand and start fight
with pak army bz i dont have any thing in my life… think about it….
we talk islamic inqalab i knw extremist socilze pplz bern :) the islam
taliban talk is different its not islam they support by CIA, RAW, MOSAD
we talk about islam where we live in peace no harm islamic laws
There are 415 recorded incidents of terrorism before the drone attacks. There were 20,000 trained terrorists that were planning to take over Pakistan and impose there version of Shariah Law. This is all before the drone attacks.
There is absolutely no justification of Drone attacks. We need to fight against terrorism and get rid of the arms and ammunitions in this area once and for all. We should ask these so called Talibans to give up their weapons and start a negotiating process. If they dont negotiate then every person in this land should support an all out offensive.
It's tribal tradition to have weapons. Just like there is STRONG weapon culture in the US. We should really find out who are these terrorist? Who is sponsoring them. Considering US history. It's probably them. They did support Taliban when they were good use to them.
there were before drones . but there were no terrorists or Pakistani Taliban before Pakistani Army went to tribal areas on US demands for operation against our own ppl !
it's big drama of govt
PTA shows how those allegations was true against the Government. We can't stick with one side, because both side provides manipulated data from their desks.
Well, I was waiting for this to happen. Since the PTA raises the drama of URL Blocking system in the Pakistan, I was waiting when I will read such report from anyone on the internet.
Now support to censor Pakistani Internet!
ProPakistani, you are getting blocked next :D
Well, I read the cached pages of that blog entries. I didn't find anything which was offensive. There is something wrong for sure…
Suppose you are a thief and somehow I find out that you are a thief and I try to tell this to everyone, won't you try to shut me up??
Haha, exactly! I'll try for sure…
By doing this they proved that it was a drama.There are no Talibans in Pakistan.They are Americans.The Talibans are only in Afghanistan and they are good people (Jihadis) and I love them.
salam friends
dekhoo yaroo jab nabi S.A .W ki hurmat ke bat ki jaey to PTA _______ mar jata hey mager jab zardari ________ aur USA ________ ki bat ho to website block kr de jati hey
[Comment Edited]
Thanks God, there are a few people in Pakistan and America… still have little bit of sanity in left in them.. a Pure drama staged by American and Pakistani to take down various goals.
and yeah, Where is our freedom of Speech, are we not living under democracy??
No.. A 15-year retard has gifted us with censorship.
Thanks for mentioning.. :P Jalo pai jan Jalo.. :P
Let me allow to say
" Kutti Choran Nall Milli Ay"
Sorry friends this is my view.
The word Kutti was used for Govt. and other authorities of Pakistan.
i have write an Urdu article on the same issue at
it was definitively a big drama…
Everyone knows that this is a big drama created by the CIA..
What evidence you can present bhai jan.
What evidence you can present bhai jan.
@disqus_FwsVspze74:disqus yaar what evidence can u provide ? that Mala is shot by Taliban or She was shot at all ??
Where is the evidence against Aafia? Or should we believe the story that a lady took a gun from three Marines and then tried to shoot them but yet marines were quick enuf to shoot her back without leaving any traces in the room? Liars! Proof! I hope you will also ask us for proof that drones are not sent by Amkerica! I am glad Talibans don't have drones else you could have blamed them for it as well
everyone knows…Have u ever seen a drama with an evidence.?
@aamir7:disqus apke blog ko kya howa hai check this screenshot

Not opening after this update… site has zero content against malala :o
This is our real face. Always bury the truth.
Is Malala ki waja se pura jo Waziristan tabah ho ga us ka kisi ny nahi socha. This was the block buster drama of the century from americans…………

Being a top class escort is not easy. I have to keep the product (me) in good order and make sure it is fit for purpose (!). That means that I spend a lot of time in the gym and working on my body. I work on all aspects of my fitness, not just staying skinny as some women make the mistake of focusing on. Instead, I spend time on aerobic work, sure, but not just endless miles or hours on the treadmill. I also do a lot of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). But in addition I do lots of strength and resistance training with free weights, and a huge amount of flexibility and core strength work – yoga and pilates. I can never be sure where my legs will need to be, or how long I will need to stress my abdominal exercises!
I have to write advertisements for when I am working as an independent without the use of an escort agency. I find ways to advertise and promote my services. I work my social media like a demon and make sure that my followers are real and keep increasing. I find suppliers and collaborators to work with (escort agencies and girls that I work with when clients want more than one girl). I especially like working with really professional escort agencies such as 2nd Circle Madrid Escorts as they provide me with good work, keep me safe and secure by vetting the clients carefully, and get me the right kind of rates for my time. They also understand that I need time to take care of business and myself and do not pressure me to work when I have told them that I am not available.
I make sure that I have no bad debts. I keep my accounts. I have to deal with my accountant and pay my taxes. You know, I run a small business. And that is exactly how I treat it and myself – my work and my body are a business. They need investing in, developing and taking care of. Of course when I have time off, I take time off fully and relax completely. After all, I am working so hard so that I can at some point in the near future stop working.

Diagnosis of Bacille calmette-guerine (BCG) adenitis is clinical. Conventional laboratory tests do not differentiate BCG adenitis from tuberculous adenitis. We report a case of a 3-month-old healthy baby presenting with suppurative BCG adenitis. FNAC revealed AFB on ZN-Staining, later confirmed to be Mycobacterium bovis by multiplex PCR. The treatment of suppurative BCG adenitis is needle aspiration. Anti-tubercular treatment is unwarranted.

European shares fell on Monday as top Federal Reserve officials bolstered expectations for a U.S. rate hike this year, while Alstom bucked the weaker trend after a contract win.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index fell 0.3 per cent, giving back gains seen in the previous session, while a holiday closure of UK markets was expected to keep activity low.
At the Fed's annual gathering for global central bankers on Friday, Fed Chair Janet Yellen said the case for a rate hike had strengthened, but while she gave no hints of timing, Fed Vice Chair Stanley Fischer said later her speech was consistent with expectations for possible rate increases this year.
Investors said Friday's U.S. jobs report was now in strong focus for any more clue about whether the next U.S. rate hike could come as early as September. Futures price in a 33 per cent chance of a September hike, up from 18 per cent last week.

At Security and Safety Things we apply agile methodologies to coordinate development across multiple teams in the plan and delivery of the different OS and platform components that come together as pieces of a puzzle to build our ecosystem.
As different industries are disrupted primarily through digital channels, agility becomes the new norm to respond to what is known as VUCA environments (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity). While the agile manifesto was written in 2001, agile methodologies (e.g., Lean) have disrupted industries since the 50's.
Popularized by tech giants such as FAGA (Facebook, Apple, Google, Amazon) that have tremendously impacted society in such short timespan, startups such as Security and Safety Things take inspiration from these giants that once were small startups and try to mimic this new way of working, not only in technology but also in business.
At its core agile is a series of principles that act as an umbrella under which multiple methodologies can be applied both at team (Scrum, Kanban, Scrumban, XP, etc.) as well as at scale (LeSS, SAFe, Spotify model, etc). Here we live the agile principles as follows:
From a product and technology perspective, the ecosystem consists of an AOSP-based operating system running on the camera and surrounding services like a cloud-hosted app marketplace and a device management portal.
At team level, the preferred agile methodology at Security and Safety Things is Scrum. At present we count with seven agile teams, each focused in the development of one component, running in a synchronous 3-week sprint cycle.
Nonetheless, as is normal in such a complex ecosystem, there are lots of cross-team dependencies. For example, the operating system has to provide mechanisms and interfaces to allow the installation of an app from our marketplace.
From an agile@scale perspective, there are no recipes to agile and we rely on our particular take on the Scaled Agile Framework. The SAFe-framework, is based on Lean practices and is (similar to LeSS) an agile framework to support alignment, collaboration, and delivery across multiple agile teams.
From an agile@scale perspective, there are no recipes to agile and we rely on our particular take on the Scaled Agile Framework.
While SAFe is regarded the least agile out of the agile@Scale frameworks, it is a good starting point for a startup that not only operates in such a conservative space (security), but that is also born out of a corporate environment. As our teams become more mature in agile, we simplify processes to become more nimble.
We are planning here concretely for half a year, initially have high level features that are not yet fully detailed but already aligned with our stakeholders and T-shirt size estimated by the component teams. The features are prioritized via the RICE scoring methodology (Reach, Impact, Confidence & Effort) while we take into consideration the known boundary road-map conditions, such as trade fairs.
The product owners break these high level features down for their teams into epics and stories. We thus have the milestones for the stakeholders, but can adapt the requirements and functions over time. For example, if we realize that a particular feature is critical and extremely important for a particular partner, we can prioritize it to make it available at a particular time, such as a developer hackathon.
Reliable timelines are an important factor in any organization. Delivering on-time and budget while innovating is crucial for our customers, partners and investors. Agile artifacts such as burn-down charts at sprint and MVP levels as well as weekly status meetings help us track the status of each component in order to steer as needed either in scope, talent or timeline.
While we reiterate that there is a particular take to SAFe, the Scaled Agile Framework brings a level of predictability that we can leverage to orchestrate and coordinate our component teams, which develop complex tasks at different locations.
SAFe enables us to outline a reliable road-map that we can also communicate to our stakeholders. It is important in this long-term planning that we give the teams sufficient room for bug fixing and the addition of unpredictable challenges.
In the process of development we have learned how important it is to obtain the necessary requirements from all relevant teams. This applies to internal departments such as User Experience (UX), Sales and Marketing as well as to external partners such as integrators, app developers and camera manufacturers.
One of our most important lessons is to iterate and refine the features and requirements with the product owners and component teams at an early stage. If you don't go into such detailed considerations at an early stage, you may notice at a late stage of the project that certain tasks are more complex to implement than expected. It is well known that the development effort in high-tech environments is often underestimated.
Continuous integration and delivery is also an advantage for our platform, the marketplace and the Integrator Portal, because we can ideally release a new version of our product every three weeks. This has the benefit that we'd receive regular feedback, which in turn can be incorporated immediately into further development.
In the current situation, in which the products and the OS are used by early adopters and camera manufacturers, this strategy of direct release is completely okay. Later, we will certainly summarize releases and offer them at least as an alternative to continuous delivery, so that the customer does not have to update too often.
In addition these bundled releases allow for better coordinated marketing announcements. This new situation will become an exciting challenge, which we will become most in the interest and for the benefit of our integrators, app developers and customers.

Butter knife

British Galleries, Room 125b, case 2
Object Type
The first examples of the butter knife date from the late 18th century. In the Victorian period the butter knife was used to serve butter, rather than to spread it.
Design & Designing
Most butter knives, like this one,are designed with a wide, scimitar-shaped blade with a blunt edge. Many had a stained green ivory or mother-of-pearl handle, but this example is made in the Princess Number 2 pattern to match a cutlery service. In 1899 one manufacturer, James Deakin & Sons Ltd of Sheffield, offered a 108-piece canteen that included one butter knife. At a later date the shape of the blade was copied and used for fish knives and forks. Butter knives became smaller in the late 19th century, as individual butter dishes encouraged the use of a butter knife as part of the place setting.
This butter knife was made by Chawner & Co., who were the most important firm of silver spoon and fork manufacturers in Victorian London, supplying the top end of the retailing trade as well as smaller firms throughout the country. Under the name of the proprietor, George Adams, the business exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the International Exhibition of 1862.

The wide blade and curved blunt edge traditional for butter knives developed in the 18th century. In the Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Co. catalogue of 1896, silver butter knives were available in a variety of different flatware patterns to match other table cutlery. They cost from 10s to 14s (50p to 70p). [27/03/2003]

Tyrel Albert of Crook County High School celebrates after winning the class 5A, 285-pound championship at the state wrestling tournament in Salem on Saturday. The junior beat Demerti Enesi of The Dalles-Wahtonka 5-4 to take the title.
As many of you know, I photographed the State Wrestling Championships in Salem for Trillium this weekend. I'll blog more on that experience later, but you can see a couple of my photos online (probably just today) at the East Oregonian's website, here and here.
They used several of my images over the weekend, but unfortunately you have to be a subscriber to read the stories.
In addition to Pendleton High School, the East Oregonian (Pendleton's daily) covers Hermiston HS, Riverside HS, and Irrigon HS, all of whom had wrestlers in the championship bouts at different classes. Hermiston, a perennial wrestling powerhouse, had five finalists. All told, I shot nine bouts in 14 rounds on Saturday night. (Fortunately for me, none of the finals conflicted with each other, so I was able to shoot them all.)
As I was downloading my images from the last match, I could see that the 285-pound title bout was coming down to the wire, so I grabbed my camera and waited for time to run out, hoping for a shot like this.
I know that the editors at the paper were expecting a Hermiston image like the above for the front page. However, it just didn't happen. It's not that I missed the opportunity. It's not that they all lost—three of the five finalists won—they just didn't visibly celebrate. (I did get a shot of one of their opponents celebrating a victory, but that wasn't the right story.) Maybe it's because they were favored. Maybe they just expected to win—the winners all had decisive victories. Or maybe they're all really humble, or perhaps more relieved than joyous. On the mats all around me (it seemed) wrestlers were pumping their fists, yelling skyward, or running around in circles while their opponents wept on the mat. But it wasn't to be.
In the end, it seems they went with the team trophy shot, which arguably tells the story even better, if not as dramatically. Most of their top wrestlers are in the shot, the trophy is there, and they're clearly happy about it.
Now, off to swimming ...
