In 2014, Dan Martin won his second Monument when he won Il Lombardia after a late attack. The Irishman had been part of a star-studded break that went clear on the descent of the Bergamo Alta.
Also included in the group were Alejandro Valverde, Rui Costa, Tim Wellens, Samuel Sanchez, Michael Albasini, and previous winners of the race Philippe Gilbert and Joaquin Rodriguez.
Inside the final kilometre, as the riders were preparing for the sprint, Martin surprised the others when he attacked up the right-hand side from the back of the group. The others hesitated giving him the opportunity to pull clear and he had enough time to throw his arms in the air at the finish in Bergamo.
Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) finished second, while Rui Costa (Lampre-Merida) rounded out the podium in third.
"It's just incredible to win it after all the bad luck this year," Martin told Velonews afterwards. "The team believed in me all the way. To win this is just, ah, incredible.
"I actually planned to attack on the last climb but I couldn't get through. There were too many people. I needed to try something and the opportunity happened. I just had to go as hard as I could and not crash in the last corner, as I did at Liège."

Junkyard Son
by The Rick Gibson Band
by The Rick Gibson Band
Ian picked one of Dave's songs to perform at his concert during his "Rubbing Elbows" tour. The song was "Two Faces," and was performed on Oct. 3, 2003 at The Uptown Theatre.
Dave Patmore and Ian Anderson chat it up on stage at The Uptown Theatre during Ian's "Rubbing Elbows" tour, October 3, 2003. They talk about the art of songwriting, Ian's tour with Led Zeppelin, and "soft fruit..."
This is a video from the "Song and Dance Project." Kacico Dance choreographs music from local singer/songwriters
These songs were recorded at Chapman Studios for the Bravo tv show, "Hitmakers." It includes "The Duct Tape Song," and "Wash Over Me."
A Kansas City native, Dave's heritage includes a long list of musicians and writers. He plays guitars, drums, some flutes and horns, and the harmonica. Gutsy lyrics, percussive guitar, and bluesy vocals best describe Dave's musical style, and Bruce Rogers of E/KC Online Magazine says, "Dave's songs are covering love, loss, finding oneself, and the usual screwing ordinary folks get from life."
Perhaps the highlight of Dave's career came in Oct. of 2003 when he performed one of his songs, "Two Faces" with rock icon, Ian Anderson at The Uptown Theatre during Ian's "Rubbing Elbows" tour.
Dave performs regularly with Abbey Road, a Beatle tribute band, Kacico Dance Company, a local professional dance troupe, and The Bobcats, a concoction of various local musicians.
In late 2012 Rick released his first all original blues CD "Plain and Simple" to high acclaim. OZARK ANTHOLOGY the sophomore project is a musical journey into old style, Ozark dirt blues rock and is receiving international airplay.
"Junkyard Son" is NOW AVAILABLE. This record is personal and continues the Ozark Odyssey with many songs about the pioneers from times gone by.
Rick Gibson - Lead Guitar and Vocals
Dave Patmore - Harmonica and Vocals
Joel Shipley - Drums
Rick Huyett - Bass and Vocals
Abbey Road consists of seven members that have been together performing Beatle tunes for over 14 years. They have brought tribute to the "Fab Four" to countless fans, both old and young, alike. Performing from Branson to The Voodoo Lounge, Abbey Road is the closest thing, musically to those lads from Liverpool.
Dave Patmore - Harmonica, Drums, Vocals and Guitar
Chris Boyd - Lead Guitar
Alex Kunellis - Lead Vocals
Rick Haynes - Guitar and Vocals
Mike Sullivan - Bass and Vocals
Tim Godfrey - Keys
The Bobcats' sound has been compared to The Blues Travelers, according to RJ and Stormin' Norman at KKFI, 90.1 fm, Kansas City's premier community radio station. Consisting of various members, The Bobcats perform an eclectic mix of original and cover tunes, and have included such members as Doc Fuller, Jem Razz, Johnny Bara, Mack Tilton, Brian Ruskin, Shems Nickle, and John Taylor.
Dave Patmore - Guitar and Vocals
John Taylor - Guitar
Shems Nicol - Drums
The party music of The Bobcats is sure to be a hit! Dozens of classic rock, blues, and country hits sprinkled with the right mix of island music is sure make your party the talk of "margaritaville." The Bobcats book for $450.00 per 2-3 hour performance.
And who can top the timeless music of The Beatles?! Fans of all ages agree that Abbey Road takes us on a fabulous journey; a
non-stop thrill ride of musical memories. Abbey Road can perform 2 to 4 hours of Beatle hits! Contact for pricing.

Recruitment is perhaps the most important function you ever undertake.
If you don't recruit talented, skilled, flexible staff, you can't expect your staff to exhibit talent, skill and flexibility.
But you also have to create an organisation in which that talent, skills and flexibility can thrive and grow.
You have to impose your will ,your way of thinking, your values ... but leave 'room' for your staff to demonstrate their own values, their own commitment, their own drive.
Then, think about what you are trying to achieve, communicate this strongly (and often) to the team, set them goals and targets - and hold them accountable for their performance in achieving those goals and targets.
Your job is to identify barriers to high performance - and remove them; to engage and motivate the staff, to reward good performance - and deal appropriately with underperformance. Not forgetting the importance of recruiting the right staff in the first place, of course.
All of this is not easy ... but it is necessary.
If you run an organisation (or part of an organisation) and run it well, how do you manage to keep it running well when you are not there. This can certainly be a problem for small, startups and growing organisations that do not have an established management structure.
First of all, let's hope you have recruited well - employing trustworthy, conscientious staff.
Secondly, let's hope you have trained your staff well - in the basics and in the less common tasks that can emerge as difficulties.
Thirdly, let's hope that your staff show initiative and have problem-solving skills, so they can deal with the unexpected (back to a combination of recruitment and training - and an atmosphere in which they feel they have the freedom to exercise their discretion).
And finally, let's hope you have created an organisation that has a culture based on shared, core values - which can be used to shape decisions and actions.
So as you can see, how the business runs in your absence depends entirely on you - and the way you have built the organisation, its structure and its culture. if you are not sure all of these are in place, you'd better start thinking and acting now to ensure these basic building blocks of a high productivity organisation are shaping what happens when you are not there..
Should you focus your improvement efforts on improving the quality of what you do ... or in improving the productivity?
It doesn't matter.
Productivity and Quality are inextricably linked. Improving quality adds value to goods or services which adds to the top line of the productivity ratio.
Improving quality through systematic analysis and investigation of both product and process also throws up productivity improvements.
Improving quality and productivity both require fresh thinking and innovation.
An organisation that commits to quality, of necessity, commits to productivity. One might even consider that one (a focus on improving quality) means improving the quality of what you do. The other (a focus on improving productivity) means improving the quality of how you do things.
So, go ahead. Do one or do both. You will end up improving your productivity.
Do you know how well your competitors are doing - not in terms of their results but operationally? They might have better results but be a worse performer because they are bigger than you. They may be at a disadvantage in terms of their location, access to labour, materials or energy ... yet still have similar or better results.
What we see in public figures is the 'tip of the iceberg'. We need to take a look underwater to properly judge their performance.
There may be a benchmarking club, or an employers' federation that can show us at least a little more of the iceberg.
It's definitely worth finding out what we can. . If we know, for example, that a competitor's distribution costs are lower than ours, it can motivate us to address ours systematically and seriously,
Knowledge is rarely value less. Take every opportunity to find out more about your competitors - even networking with them and listening to anecdotal evidence can be helpful.
When running a race, an athlete has to be in peak condition, with no injuries. They also have to be aware of the capabilities of their opponents and set their tactics accordingly (especially for long distance races).
Well, business competition is rather similar.
A business organisation has to be in peak condition with no significant performance drawbacks. They then must be aware of what their competitors are doing and set out their strategy and tactics accordingly.
So, if the two situations have similarities can one learn from the other? Can the business organisation learn from how the athlete prepares for his/her racing?
The answer is 'Yes'.
The athlete trains often, to a pre-determined training regime, takes care with diet, makes sure they warm up before activity and cools down after activity.
Now I've set the scene .. it's up to you how you translate those tasks into actions your business could take to 'train' for improved competitiveness.
Are you ready to win some medals!
Remember ergonomics? Not many people seem to.
I often see products that look like the designer has no idea of the shape and size of a typical person. They may have been designed for an average human being of the 1940s ... but not the 21st century.
Think seats on public transport, on aeroplanes, in cars. You have to squeeze yourself into an impossibly small space - especially if the next seat is already occupied.
And control systems and and 'user interfaces' which are too often user-hostile rather than user-friendly.
And don't get me started on instruction manuals - translated from the original Japanese or Chinese into modern gobbledegook.
People change gradually from one size to another - or one frame of mind to another. There should be plenty of time for designers to 'catch up'. This would involve a little more thought - but in addressing control systems, user comfort, user understanding, ease of use and so on could significantly improve productivity.
Some organisations treat people badly as they pursue profit at all costs.
Yet this is short-termism of the worst sort.
As you travel around and visit various companies, you will invariably see a poster or plaque in reception claiming 'Our people are our Greatest Asset' or "We are Investors in People:".
Yet few of those companies act as if they believe what they say in reception.
People are an organisations's greatest asset - but only if the organisation can release their potential, their contribution, their innovation, their ideas.
This doesn't just happen - it happens when the organisation creates a high potential culture, appropriate procedures, and most of all - development opportunities for the staff to keep adding to their skills and knowledge.
People are not 'human resources' but they can be a valuable source of innovation.
'People' ands 'profit' are not in any way mutually exclusive - they are inextricably linked. Organisartions that fail to recognise - and act on - this are doomed to poor industrial relations and low contribution levels from their staff.
The Industrial Revolution was the greatest ever change to UK society, transforming the lives of millions of people. Yet, at the time, many people suffered from appalling work under dreadful conditions.
Now the UK is faced with Brexit and ...
We get all sorts of predictions but these are almost always based on prejudice, not on facts.
To b e fair, no-one knows what will really happen.
My own view is that the UK is resilient and innovative enough to cope in the longer-term but I accept there may be short-term problems.
It might, however, be just what we need. A shot in the arm ... or a kick up the pants. A stimulus to greater innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship.
What will be, will be. If we approach it as a challenge, we might succeed. If we accept it as a threat, we could be in trouble. We have to make the best of it!
Politicians often bemoan the UK's poor productivity. Yet, at the same time, over the last decade they seem to have systematically destroyed much of the further education sector with a policy of 'a thousand cuts'. The same is true of 6th form education.
There is quite a bit of evidence to show that a well- educated, properly-trained workforce is one of the principal keys to higher productivity.
So., the politicians are the probable cause of the UK's declining productivity ... and are unlikely to be the saviours.... especially since the whole of UK politics is being sucked into the Brexit maelstrom.
So often what politicians say is undermined by what they do!
We expect modern managers to be numerate and analytical. We educate and train them to be so.
Yet when we look at entrepreneurs we see something else. We see creativity and passion.
Which of these are the best qualities to have?
Of course, I have given you a false dilemma. The answer is that really successful business leaders have both analytical and creative skills: they also have passion. They care about what they do; they care deeply about what they achieve. They will make errors and misjudgements but their inner belief, their passion will drive them on to rectify their mistakes, to improve their judgement and their results.
Think about what you do. If you don't care about what you do, you are unlik

In preparation for our upcoming partner event with LuLaRoe and Tastee Pastrees on Saturday, Feb. 13 (2 p.m. – 5 p.m.) in White Gravenor 201A, we interviewed Angel Cheeks, the founder of Tastee Pastrees, about her business and LuLaRoe.
How did you get started baking? Why did you decide to make it into a business?
Before I started baking, I used to watch Cake Boss and pastry shows all the time. People like Duff Goldman and Paul Hollywood influenced me to start baking. I loved how everything was so creative and every time I saw what they made I'd just say, "I can do that", or "it looks easy". Well, the key words there were "looks easy" because starting my business and doing it solo has not been easy at all. The first time I baked from scratch, it was my freshman year of high school. I brought my cupcakes to school and handed them out at lunch for free. I decided to make it into a business because everybody loved my cupcakes. I was like, "really? You do?" I was surprised everyone loved them as much as they did. It got to the point where if I didn't bring cupcakes, they would be very upset and demand more. When I saw how much the presence of cake and sweets made people happy, I decided, why not make it into a business? All of my friends and even teachers were suggesting the idea so I figured I'd try it out. I am a self-taught baker. I went home, went on YouTube and found out how to pipe my icing using different tips, make my own fondant, and I also taught myself how to make some really difficult cakes. The name of my business used to be "Angelic Cupcakes," but I had to change it because an actual bakery took my name and I didn't want any legal issues to occur. I mainly started the business in order to help my mom out because there were some things I wanted to buy that she didn't have the money for or sometimes I didn't even have enough money to travel back and forth to school.
What is it like carrying out your business from New South? How do you fulfill your orders?
So far I've only done 4 orders at Georgetown. Other orders have been from my same loyal customers and even new ones that live in the DMV area (I'm from DC). Its pretty easy to do orders, I just buy my same supplies and use the common room to bake. Luckily no one ever cooks or bakes in our common room that much, so it's always available.
What is your favorite thing to make?
I absolutely love making cakes. I love to challenge myself with making all of the different tiers and creating cute designs and making people's ideas for their cakes come to life. My favorite cake of all time that I've made is a Disney Cars themed cake.
What sparked your love for baking?
Honestly, it came out of nowhere. No one in my family bakes so I figure it's just from me watching baking shows and being amazed by the bakers' work. I saw baking as a challenge, so I wanted to go for it.
If you were a pastry which one would you be?
If I were a pastry I would definitely be a cinnamon roll. I'm fluffy on the inside and appealing to the eye and at the same time I have some spice in me.
What makes your cupcakes unique?
As cheesy as it sounds, what makes my cupcakes unique is that I make them with love. I say this because I used to literally wake up at 5:45 a.m. to get to school by 7:45, come home around 9 p.m. because of practices and clubs I participated in in high school and do my homework until about 11:30 p.m. I would be up until about 3 a.m. fulfilling orders that had to be ready by the next day. I actually talked about this in my salutatorian speech at graduation. That's love and commitment. When I make my pastries and cakes I make them to the best of my ability. They have to be perfect because I refuse to give any customer a mediocre order. If it's not right the first time, I do it all over again.
How do you keep yourself from eating all of the cupcakes you make?
Ironically, I don't even care too much for sweets. When I taste my cupcakes I only taste a little because I really just don't like cake that much, I just love making it. Odd right?
What is your favorite part about baking?
My favorite part about baking is mixing the batter because I like to eat the leftover mix, even though you aren't supposed to. *laugh*
Why did you decide to partner with Camille? Tell us about LuLaRoe. What makes it unique? Why would Georgetown girls love LuLaRoe?
I decided to partner with Camille, LuLaRoe's Georgetown Campus Representative, because I know she is very capable of being even more of a success than she is. LuLaRoe is a family-oriented brand founded in 2013 that manufactures all kinds of clothes. What makes LuLaRoe unique is that sizes range from 2XS-3XL and they only produce 700-1000 pieces of clothing in a particular print, so get it before its gone! I think Georgetown girls will love LuLaRoe because everyone loves comfortable, cute, and fashionable clothing! I think they will especially love the leggings.
Why do you love LuLaRoe?
I love LuLaRoe because the leggings are bomb! They are literally soft as butter and anyone who knows me knows that I love my leggings.
What is your favorite Thirty Seventh article?
My favorite Thirty Seventh article is "Don't Worry, Your Hair will Grow Back." (https://thirtyseventhgu.com/2015/10/14/dont-worry-your-hair-will-grow-back/) In November, I cut my hair, and I remembered reading this article and thinking about how when I cut nearly all of my hair off, as a female, everyone was so shocked. Every time someone saw me and made a big deal out of it asking "Why did you cut your hair?" (with the same facial expression like I killed my cat or something), I was just like "Ummm, because it's just hair and it grows back." I never understood why society has labeled women to be the ones to have super long hair and only males heads should be cut. No thanks, I love my short hair.

Employment Visa
Immigration and Employment visas. A complete guide.
The relationship between immigration and right to an employment or work in the UK is complicated. In this article, we have aimed to provide an overview of the current state of the immigration law in regards to a person's right to employment.
What is on this page?
- Requirements to Work in the UK
- What is an Employment Visa?
- Eligibility to Work in the UK
- Tier 2 Visas
- Tier 5 Visas
- Tier 4 Visas
- Switching between Visa Categories
- 2017 Changes to Immigration Employment Rules
- Applying for a Sponsorship License
Do you require a permit to work in the UK?
If you fit in one of the categories listed below you do not require a visa or permission from the Home Office to work. You are entitled to take up any work as an employed or a self-employed person in the UK.
- British citizens. However, British overseas citizens do require permission to work in the UK.
- EEA nationals.
- Swiss nationals.
- Commonwealth nationals with a UK ancestry visa who have a grandparent born in the UK or British Islands.
- Non-EEA family members of EEA and Swiss nationals and those with a retained or derivative right of residence who can produce a UK residence document to prove their status in the UK.
- Persons granted refugee status or humanitarian protection.
- Some asylum claimants.
- Some overseas students can work part-time during term time and full-time during holidays. (See Tier 4)
If you are a dependent, you are permitted to work without a visa if you fit in one of the below listed categories:
- Aged parents.
- A short-term cohabiting partner.
- Children over 18 who are still part of the family unit.
- Adopted children.
- Children in the family unit who are from their partner's previous relationship.
What is an Employment Visa?
It includes Tier 2 and Tier 5 visas, that is the primary immigration routes for non-European migrants who wish to work in the UK.
Note: Nationals from outside of the EEA and Switzerland coming to live in the UK for longer than six months must normally pay a health surcharge of £200 a year (or £150 for students) to be able to use the NHS.
Who is Eligible?
In order to successfully apply for one of these visas, the company that would like to employ the migrant employee must have a sponsorship license to either or both visas. The licensed employer has to further then produce the following to the UKVI:
- Evidence that the migrant will fill a genuine vacancy at the sponsor that cannot be filled with a suitably qualified or skilled settled worker; and
- The sponsor that it accepts all of the duties expected when sponsoring the migrant; and
- The job meets the required skill level.
The UKVI would make the decision either to reject or accept the work visa application within 8 – 4 weeks from submitting the Visa application.
Note: the employer must have a trading presence in the UK in order to possess a sponsorship license from the UKVI.
Tier 2 Visa
It is a long-term workers visa for non-European. The disadvantage of a Tier 2 visa is:
- It does not lead to a settlement in the UK. With a possible cooling period of about 12 months of prevention before the possibility of a re-application to the same visa category.
- The minimum salary threshold
Tier 5 Visa
It is a temporary workers visa for non-European. The sub-categories of this route include:
- Creative and sporting. This includes sports people, entertainers or creative artists who have been offered work in the UK for up to 12 months.
- Charity workers. This is for voluntary workers who wish to do unpaid work for a charity.
- Religious workers.
- Government authorized exchange.
- International agreement. This is for migrants contracted to do work covered by international law while in the UK, such as working for a foreign government or as a private servant in a diplomatic household.
Tier 4 Visa
It is a student visa; however, it allows students to:
- Work 20 hours per week during term time, and
- Unlimited work hours per week during off term time.
- Can transfer to a Tier 2 visa as soon as they are done with their coursework (does not apply to PhD students).
Note: Permitted working hours may vary depending on the academic course enrolled in.
Am I allowed to switch between Visa categories?
You are allowed to switch between visa categories if you fulfill the required criteria below:
- You are in the UK lawfully and your existing permission to be in the UK is still valid.
- You meet the specific requirements for the new category you want to switch into.
- You are in the UK in one of the categories that allows switching into another category while in the UK.
- Ex: An individual may not apply to switch their immigration status from being a visitor to working under Tier 2 while in the UK. They will have to leave the UK to obtain entry clearance.
Changes to the immigration rules: April 2017
The key changes that came into effect on 6 April 2017 were:
- Tier 2 applications will be refused if the immigration skills charge has not been paid.
- The requirement for an intra-company transferee to work for a related overseas company for a year does not apply to those earning £73,900 or more a year.
- The salary requirement for intra-company transferees wishing to extend their visafor up to nine years was reduced to £120,000.
- The Tier 2 Intra-company Transfer (ICT) Short Term Staff category closed to new applications.
- The minimum salary requirements for experienced workers increased to £30,000
- The minimum for high earners (where there is an exemption from conducting a resident labor market test as part of the application process) increased to £159,600 a year.
- Where the role is associated with the relocation of a high-value business to the UK or a significant new inward investment it is not necessary to conduct a resident market labor test or to assign a restricted Certificate of Sponsorship.
- Tier 2 (General) applications for some roles in the education, health and social care sectors must provide criminal record certificates.
How can employers apply for a sponsorship license?
The proposed sponsor entity must be able to evidence that it is genuine and operating or trading lawfully in the UK. Depending on the type of organization and how long it has been operating in the UK, the organization must provide the following to the UKVI:
- The latest audited annual accounts.
- The employer's liability insurance certificate.
- Proof of ownership for the business premises.
- The VAT registration certificate.
- The latest corporate bank account statement.
- Evidence of the HMRC PAYE number and accounts office reference number.
The organization must also:
- Explain why it is applying for a sponsor license.
- Specify the sector it operates in.
- Specify its opening and operating hours during the week.
- Provide an up to date hierarchy chart detailing any owners, directors and board members.
- If the organization has 50 employees or fewer, submit a list of all employees and their job titles.
- Give the names of all of the people who have access to the email address supplied with the online sponsor license application.
- Provide a landline telephone number.
Smaller organization pay a lower fee than others if they fulfill the following threshold:
- A turnover of not more than £10.2 million.
- A balance sheet total of not more than £5.1 million.
- It employs no more than 50 employees.
A UK organization may apply for a sponsor license in a number of ways, including:
- A single sponsor license that covers the head office and all branches in the UK.
- A single sponsor license that covers the head office and some UK branches.
- The head office and each UK branch applying for their own separate sponsor licenses.
- Grouping a number of UK branches under one single sponsor license.
A UK organization must comply with the following requirements upon being granted a sponsorship license:
- Monitoring immigration status and preventing illegal employment.
- Maintaining migrant contact details at all times.
- Record keeping and recruitment practice, this includes complying with the resident labor market test.
- Migrant tracking and monitoring, this includes the monitoring of work attendance.
- General sponsor duties such as:
- No paying the migrants in cash
- Following the UKVI guidelines

Supper Stories:
Andrea's Fresh Salsa
Andrea's Fresh Salsa
Salsa is the first thing I had a desire to master. My aunt was the salsa PRO in our family and I learned a lot about flavor combinations by watching her. She always blended her salsa which made me very happy because there is little in the world that I hate more than chunks of raw onion. The texture is horrifying to me, but oh, the flavor! The blender was the perfect solution, hence my salsa always being blended. My approach is inspired by my aunt but the exact flavors took me a while to balance and settle on. Now I'm saving you the time.
I use this salsa for everything. Tacos, scrambled eggs, in my Spanish rice recipe you'll find in these pages, on avocados, with chips, you name it! It's my go-to, it's almost always in the fridge or freezer (freezes great for up to a year!) and it never lets me down.
Let's Salsa!
6 Roma tomatoes, halved and seeded
2 jalapeno or Serrano chilies (Use more or less according to your spice tolerance. Serranos are hotter than jalapenos.)
½ of a small yellow onion, or ¼ of a large one
1 bundle of cilantro leaves (Trim the stems off)
½ tsp to 1 tsp sea salt (adjust to your taste)
Juice of one lime or half a lemon (I prefer lime)
Blend. That's it. You're done! Makes about a quart and keeps in the fridge for about a week. Freeze after that (if you've got any left!)

Once again, it's time to compile a shopping list for the world of gymnastics, based on what we witnessed in 2010. I invite all of you readers to add your own, as well.
Kohei Uchimura: A long winter's nap. Though he won his second world all-around gold this year, his taped left shoulder signaled the physical toll he's feeling. Apparently, it doesn't bother him that much, since he recently showed some new skills (triple-twisting Yurchenko, e.g.) at the Japanese nationals. If I were his coach, though, I'd give him a solid three-month hibernation of healing.
Aliya Mustafina: A deeper team. Yes, the Russian women won their first world team title in 2010, but they had help from the underachieving silver and bronze medalists. Mustafina carried her teammates on her back, especially on bars, where Russia placed seventh out of eight in the team final. Wait, what's that I see in her stocking? Viktoria Komova!
Rebecca Bross: More D-score. Ouch, that was hard to write. But as long as the Amanar vault she doesn't have is over-valued at 6.5, Bross should find a way to add a couple of tenths each on bars, beam and floor. Not an easy task, but her coach, Valeri Liukin, is a master strategist. Look what he did for his daughter in 2008.
Jordyn Wieber: A complete senior season debut. Junior winner of the Pacific Rim championships and CoverGirl Classic in 2010, Wieber crunched her ankles at the U.S. championships and couldn't finish the meet. Her presence on the 2011 U.S. world team could really help (she has an Amanar), but not if she's still limping.
Jonathan Horton: Paul in St. Paul. Horton, the 2010 world all-around bronze medalist, needs the competition to reach the next level. So a duel against Paul Hamm at the 2011 U.S. championships in St. Paul, Minn., should do the trick.
Mattie Larson: Another chance. After placing second to Rebecca Bross at the U.S. championships, where she won floor exercise, Larson struggled at the Rotterdam worlds, mainly on floor exercise. And even though her mistakes were big, the silver-medal performance of the U.S. women was a total team effort. Even U.S. national team coordinator Marta Karolyi admitted that Larson can be a beautiful gymnast at times. Remember, gymnastics is only a game. Give her another shot.
Vanessa Ferrari: More horsepower. I'm always impressed when a former star accepts a supporting role on her team. The 2006 world all-around champ was more polished in Rotterdam than in Aarhus, but without her signature tricks. Her coach, Enrico Casella, predicts some of those skills will return, which is easier said than done.
Danell Leyva: A re-gift to himself. I know it probably made more sense on paper to replace his cool jam-dislocate-hop with a jam-dislocate-invert on high bar, but he lost the spontaneous crowd reaction in the process. That skill really set him apart. But knowing him and his stepfather-coach, Yin Alvarez, they'll probably come up with something even better for 2011.
Daniel Keatings: Two strong knees. With the silky-smooth Keatings, who is coming off a torn ACL, the British men, seventh in Rotterdam, could be a legitimate top-five team at the 2011 Tokyo worlds. Keatings would really help the Brits, especially on pommel horse and p-bars.
Philipp Boy: Healthy teammates. The 2010 world all-around silver medalist was impressive, and he did the lion's share of Germany's team bronze, too. If he is supported by a healthy Fabian Hambüchen (chronic Achilles) and national champ Marcel Nguyen (broken leg prior to Rotterdam), he will be a Boy among men at the Tokyo worlds. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Now, who did I miss?
From comebacks to program cuts, injuries to age flaps, plenty is happening in the gymnastics world right now. Following is a weekly roundup of sorts.
Bridget Sloan: The defense rests?
With the U.S. women's team for the Rotterdam worlds to be named next week, the fate of defending world all-around champion Bridget Sloan (shown here) remains a mystery. At the Visa championships in August, where Sloan protected injuries and competed only on balance beam, U.S. national team coordinator Marta Karolyi assessed Sloan's chances of making the team as such: "She's right at the almost impossible situation."
Marvin Sharp, Sloan's coach, told IG today, "It is just going to be a matter of time. Is there enough time to get in world routine shape? We are giving it a try, but have to keep the future in mind, as well, and not risk pushing beyond a reasonable level."
For a top team like the U.S., the Rotterdam worlds represent bragging rights only, since the top 24 teams advance to the 2011 worlds in Tokyo. So reading between the lines, it doesn't sound like Sloan is prepared to make a serious challenge as an all-arounder. We'll find out next week if she goes at all.
"We are hoping to be on the world team," Sharp added. "We are hoping to help in any capacity that will assist the USA in a successful world championships."
Cal Gymnastics
The men's and women's gymnastics teams at UC-Berkeley were dropped Sept. 28, along with baseball and women's lacrosse. Rugby will be reduced to a club sport. The timing was odd, considering former Golden Bear gymnast Tim McNeill was hired in August to coach the team. Barry Weiner retired earlier in the summer, having coached the team to NCAA team titles in 1997 and '98.
Cal gymnastics has a rich history, and 2012 would have been its 100th year in existence. Its first national championship was in 1968, under coach Hal Frey, who won another in '75. For more about the Cal tradition, visit CalGymnasticsForever.com, the site that was launched to help save the program.
"We are extremely disappointed in the decision that was made, and are very saddened by this outcome," said former Cal gymnast David Kruse, who said that $400,000 in pledges over three years was raised via Cal Gymnastics Forever.
McNeill, meanwhile, says his contract goes through Aug. 24, 2011, "so both the team and I will continue on until then." Athletes from the dropped sports have the option of keeping their scholarships or transferring without sitting out a year of competition.
McNeill, who was petitioned to the U.S. team in August even though he did not compete at the Visa championships, told IG that his own training is under way. Strong on pommel horse and parallel bars, two critical events for the U.S. men's program, McNeill has an excellent chance of picking up where he left off last year at the London worlds, where he placed seventh all-around and fifth on pommel horse.
Germany's Predicament
The German men's team took a big hit when it lost national champion Marcel Nguyen, who fractured his right fibula while tumbling at a meet against Switzerland and Romania on Sept. 25. It's never good when a tune-up for worlds knocks out your top all-arounder.
German star Fabian Hambüchen, who did not compete on floor or vault at the German championships or the tri-meet, is hopeful that his sore Achilles' tendon will be 100% for worlds. With Nguyen out, the team really needs him.
"My doctor and I are very optimistic about competing in the all-around in Rotterdam, but it just depends on the healing process," Hambüchen told IG. "I'm in shape on four events and just need to wait for the 'go' of the doctor for floor and vault."
Hong Su Jong/PRK
With a birth date of March 9, 1989, currently registered with the FIG, North Korean Hong Su Jong would have been 15 at the 2004 Athens Olympics, where she was registered with a 1985 birth date. She was her team's third-best all-arounder in Athens, placing 50th in prelims. Nullifying her team's results, which is what recently happened to the Chinese women for the 2000 Olympics, would hardly make a difference. North Korea finished 12th out of 12 teams in Athens, and won zero medals.
The odd thing about this whole mess is that Hong's birth year changed for subsequent world competitions, while the birth date for Hong Un Jong, who we assume is Su Jong's twin, remained consistent at March 9, 1989.
"My staff is about to check the various documents we have in our archives, and I am looking into the matter," FIG General Secretary Andre Gueisbuhler told IG today. "The further procedure to be taken in this case will be decided in the forthcoming days."
Stay tuned. Will the North Korean federation claim it was all a clerical error?
Shawn Johnson/USA
If you want to see Shawn Johnson back on Dancing With the Stars this season, you can vote her on. DWTS will be bringing back 10 former couples, and the Cha-Cha and Freestyle dances of Johnson and partner Mark Ballas are up for vote on the DWTS website.
Science of Gymnastics Journal
This free online technical magazine, edited by Slovenian Ivan Cuk, just celebrated its one-year anniversary with issue No. 4. To say that Cuk is merely a student of the sport would not be accurate. He's extremely passionate about gymnastics, and smart, too.
The journal is mainly composed of contributed articles, with submission guidelines available on its website. Each issue is downloadable in PDF format. Click here for more information.
USA Gymnastics and the Ukrainian Gymnastics Federation were "warned for negligence" by the FIG Presidential Commission for their failure to announce the return to competition of formerly retired gymnasts.
As reported already, the athletes involved are artistic gymnast Alicia Sacramone (USA), shown here, and rhythmic gymnast Natalia Godunko (UKR), both of whom were required to announce their return to competition six months prior to entering a meet. By not doing so, they violated WADA and FIG Anti-doping rules.
Romania's Marian Dragulescu received the same slap on the wrist recently.
The FIG news release also stated: "All FIG Member Federations have been reminded of the respective rules and informed that no more exceptions will be made …."
Wonder why exceptions are being made at all?
My suggestion to all gymnasts: Never announce your retirement, because most of you come back anyway.
Regarding Sacramone, I think she has a real shot at winning the world title on vault at the Rotterdam world championships next month. She made the world vault finals in 2005 (bronze), 2006 (silver) and 2007 (bronze). I thought her two vaults at the Visa championships last month looked cleaner and more dynamic than the same vaults Kayla Williams used to win the 2009 world title.
Paul Hamm
Speaking of comebacks, I chatted with Paul Hamm recently about his return to the sport. And I hope he heeds the above news item, because the U.S. could really use him next year when the qualification to the 2012 Olympics tightens. Hamm says he's still in the beginning phase of his training, putting in about three hours each morning under the watchful eye of Andrei Kan at his former club, Swiss Turners.
"He's really good at putting me in my place," Hamm says of Kan.
And does Hamm ever feel like giving up during this latest comeback?
"Every day you have a little bit of that, but then you realize you're getting better," he said.
Hamm, who visited troops in Iraq in August with three other Olympians, understands the new math of the five-man team that will be sent to London 2012. He has always been extremely balanced across all six events, and pommel horse, a soft spot for the U.S. men, has always been more of a strength than a weakness.
"[The five-man team] is a situation that's probably good for me," he said.
Hamm said he planned to visit various gyms as the summer ends. He wanted to train with Jonathan Horton at Cypress Academy in Houston; the gym at Ohio State, where he trained for the 2004 Olympics; and the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
Shawn Johnson
If you haven't visited Johnson's website recently, check out her new training video, called "The Journey Begins." Looks like she's completely healed from the torn ACL, since she tumbled a double pike on the regular floor mat (landing on a 4-incher). For her to take the time to create this video tells me that she's proud of her progress so far. And to have an upbeat coach like Liang Chow helping her each day, how can she not give it a go?
For me, two questions remain: Can she get back to where she was in 2008? And if she can, will it still be competitive in 2012?
The September IG is coming out soon, and it includes an interview with FIG Men's Technical Committee President Adrian Stoica. I asked him several questions about the Code of Points, such as whether the MTC considered lowering the counting skills from 10 to eight ("no"); does he think the men's routines are too long and should have a skill limit ("it is not necessary"); and how could Kohei Uchimura score an 8.775 (execution) on high bar at the 2009 worlds for one of the most beautiful routines in gymnastics history (he agreed, somewhat)?
There is a lot more to the interview, and Stoica was diplomatic, of course. But I also appreciated his candor. After all, he's got a tough job.
Men's Vault Proposal
Speaking of Stoica, I read with interest his proposal for men's vault in the July FIG Bulletin. Stoica is suggesting that men do two vaults in all phases of competition, and their final score will be (DVt1 + DVt2)/2 + [10-(Sum of average deductions for Vt1 and Vt2)].
It's not as confusing as it sounds. Here is a practical application: Gymnast does a 7.0 first vault and a 6.6 second vault. His final D-score is the average: 6.8. His execution scores for the two vaults are 9.6 and 9.4, so his final execution score is 9.0 (add the deductions from both vaults and subtract from 10). Final score: 15.80.
The gymnast can do the same vault twice without penalty, but he must do two different vaults to qualify for apparatus finals.
Stoica is soliciting feedback from "specialists around the world," so here goes. If the goal is to bring the average vault score down, and in line with the other five apparatus, then I believe a simpler solution would be to lower all of the vault values. Doubling the execution deductions from a single vault would also accomplish the goal. But I am fundamentally against any proposal that adds to the already taxing physical requirements of the male gymnast under this Code. If the MTC eventually decides to shorten men's routines across the board, then I'd consider the two-vault rule.
Youth Olympics: Kamoto and Komova
Yuya Kamoto and Viktoria Komova have been the gymnastics stars of the inaugural Olympics in Singapore so far, and I can't help but think the U.S. made a big mistake in not sending one of its top junior women, such as the extremely talented Jordyn Wieber. At the Visa Championships in Hartford last week, I asked U.S. national team coordinator Marta Karolyi if she regretted not sending a gymnast to Singapore. She said "yes and no," and then gave various reasons why they chose not to send someone. "Maybe we would have decided differently if we knew the personal coach could go," she said." Eventually, the IOC permitted the extra coach, but the U.S. had already turned down its women's spot. But I'm left to wonder how every other major gymnastics nation found a way to participate. Any time you can compete in—or even win—a meet that has the word Olympics in it, you should go for it.
IG Tour to Rotterdam
There is still time to sign up for the IG Tour to the 2010 World Championships in Rotterdam, site of the first IG Tour in 1987. Kermit and Jean Davis organized that inaugural tour, and they are still running the show today. The tour dates are Oct. 14-25 and includes airfare, hotel and tickets to all gymnastics sessions.

My Story
After printing "My First Front Flip(s)" in July on the IG website, I asked readers to send in their own personal stories about their experiences in gymnastics. Funny, sad, inspirational, whatever. We received some great ones, and they will appear in future issues of IG. The first will be published in the October issue, and it was written by a woman whose love for the sport inspired her to launch her own gymnastics magazine. (I won't say who she is.) Everyone has a story, so please tell us yours.

When Paul Hamm opted for retirement after winning the 2004 Olympic all-around gold, I was against it. Not that it was up to me, or anything. But I wanted to see what kind of winning streak he could put together, since he had won the 2003 worlds in Anaheim, too. The U.S. had waited a long time for an all-arounder of Hamm's caliber, and then circumstances drained his motivation right at his peak.
Through no fault of his own — but rather to a judging error — Hamm ended up in a very public debate regarding the legitimacy of his Olympic title. He was forced to defend his gold medal immediately after it was placed around his neck. So it was understandable that he might want to take a break.
I was pleased when he and his twin, Morgan, decided to come back for a run at 2008, even if Paul's chance at dominating the quadrennium in the all-around had already passed.
Then, after he worked himself back into national-title form by the spring of 2008, Hamm sustained a hand injury on parallel bars at the U.S. championships in Houston. A fractured fourth metacarpal ultimately aborted his return to the Olympics. And even counting his ill-fated fall from p-bars at those nationals, Hamm still logged a 93.450, 3.70 clear of second place.
China's Yang Wei won the 2008 Olympic gold with room to spare, scoring 94.575. Current world champion Kohei Uchimura, who fell twice from pommel horse, was next with 91.975. Hamm would have made it much more interesting in Beijing.
I've often said that comebacks never surprise me, but Hamm's does. And it's one that I welcome. He'll be close to 30 by the summer of 2012, but perhaps a few years younger, physically. He hasn't trained non-stop since 2004 like many of his contemporaries. And even though only five gymnasts will make the 2012 Olympic team, Hamm's all-around ability should make him a lock.
Hamm recently quit his job at Breakwater Trading in Chicago and has been training a bit at his old gym, Swiss Turners, in West Allis, Wis., where coach Andrei Kan has been "just kind of busting my butt [laughs]." He's also reconciled with his old coach, Stacy Maloney, whom he left after the 2003 worlds. Hamm says he will train full-time at either Swiss Turners or the USOTC in Colorado Springs.
Hamm told me his goals for 2012 are to help the team and to contend in the all-around and on high bar. He's also aware of Uchimura's current dominance.
"He's one of the people that is motivating me right now, because I see him and I realize how darn good he is," Hamm told IG. "And it makes me want to beat him, because of what an accomplishment that truly would be. But he is very good. He's an awesome gymnast."
After 2012, Hamm says he can always go back to his job in Chicago. But for now, he's putting his gymnastics career first.
"That (job) will be there for me later on, and I don't know how much longer my body will last," said Hamm, adding that he'd like to return to competition at the 2011 Winter Cup. "So I'm not going to let this opportunity pass me by."
When I spoke with Paul at length about his comeback, his voice revealed an enthusiasm that was missing after 2004. Time seems to have healed a few wounds.
Welcome back, Paul. Give it your best shot.

In this series on Missionary Principles, I will be expanding on each of them in separate posts. Let's get started on the first one.
What is the meaning of evangelical?
Evangelical simply refers to following the teaching of the Gospel or Christianity.
This is crucial as theology will affect what is being taught to the locals. And their teaching will determine how they live their lives.
When locals become believers, you teach them based on your theology.
There lies the danger. You reproduce what you are. Your brand of theology will be passed on consciously and subconsciously to others.
Wrong theology will be passed on and the gospel loses its effectiveness and power.
My suggestions flow from Paul's letter to Timothy:
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Therefore, I believe that:
1. Missionaries should have a basic theology training in a reputable Bible school
Your theology must be sound, not liberal or even worse, against the basic teachings of the Bible. Especially dangerous are Bible schools that only focus on spiritual giftings such as prophecy and healing. That is imbalanced.
You must be at least grounded in systematic theology found in the Bible. Basic courses would be Old Testament and New Testament surveys, Doctrines and Pastoral theology. All other courses are icing on the cake.
2. Missionaries must be vetted by sending organisation
The theology of missionaries must be tested to make sure they adhere to the sound tenets of Christianity. It would be a shame if wrong doctrines are taught to the locals far away from the sending organisation or church. The effects rippling out would be seen only years later as the local church crumbles under shaky foundations.
3. Missionaries must teach the local believers right doctrine
After going for several mission trips, I've come to realise many pastors have never had a proper systematic Bible education. This is where mission teams can step in to train them. That's the idea of equipping them for good works. It all starts with the right theology.
May this be your prayer.
2 Timothy 2:15
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

Another case of the trendy chair can be that a seat in Newcastle metropolis, England. This seat is made out as a chipped wooden board . The outcome is more like an art installation. The distinction is when artwork installations usually are not to be touched. This one is not just permitted to be touched but can also be used as an artistic but usable chair.

It had been thought that the version of that chair was motivated by a sketch which was made by Mart Staman architect from Dutch. The version eventually become one of the most popular cantilever chairs in its era. Cantilever chairs became famous in the 1920s and the 1930s since these were relatively cheaper to create than the ordinary chairs.

Savta Esther was my husband, Roy, grandmother. I never got to meet her but I feel that I know her. She was born in Egypt and made amazing traditional food and treats.
She was very meaningful to Roy and he loved spending time with her at her house in Kfar-Saba. He would go there almost everyday after school and pick fruits from her trees in the yard and eat the wonderful food she would make.
Esther was a mother of 7 and loved getting the whole family together on Fridays and other occasions to eat together.
I guess Roy's love for food and preparing food started in Esthers house so many years ago. When he describes what she would make you can smell the food as if you are standing in her kitchen and your taste buds start acting as if you are about to eat something truly wonderful.
The big pot she would fry fresh garlic and oil in, and then dip big pieces of bread on top to get these amazing tasting chunks of bread- isn't that something you really crave right now just by thinking about how crispy, flavored and yummy it was?!
I often wish I could have spent some time with her in her kitchen to see her work. Roy describes her skills in a way that makes me jealous of how easy she moved around her kitchen and how naturally it came to her to create such wonderful food.
There are some things that Roy has talked about over the years that I've tried to make and one of them is Maamul.
I did not grow up on Maamul so I had to look it up on the web, look through the many recipes out there and decide which one I like.
Maamul is a cookie that is round with unique decorations on the outside and filled with either nuts, dates or nuts and dates inside. You add spices to the filling – cardamom and cinnamon .
The only sugar in the cookie is the powdered sugar you sprinkle on top of the cookie. It's s a great energy treat as well.
For me it took a couple of trials to get it right. First the dough was to thick and not enough filling. So I played around with the filling, the spices and the dough and got to the point where Roy took a bite and I knew I got it right.
It is our favorite treat and we almost always have Maamul in our kitchen.
The kids love it when I fill the Maamul with Nutella. Their best treat it making the dough in the shape of empanadas and fill them Nutella or chunks of chocolate.
There are some recipes from Esther that I have made such as the Basbosa, a traditional Egyptian cake. I love making recipes I know Esther used to make and feeling as if I'm following in the path of a wonderful woman, who was loved by many, including my husband.

The Gates of Slumber was not only one of the best metal bands to ever come out of Indiana, but also one of the leading group in the 2000s doom movement. While elements of their sound can be directly traced to groups like Saint Vitus and Manilla Road, the group maintained a unique sound no matter what style they were playing thanks to loose yet purposeful structures, rock solid bass playing by Jason McCash, unique performances by each of the group's different drummers, and Karl Simon's expressive vocals and guitar playing that ranges from minimalist chords to fuzzed out shredding in classic Dave Chandler fashion. The Gates may have been closed in 2013, and tragically will never open again, but the trio's legacy lives on in the form of the spinoff band Wretch as well as the various rip-offs paying homage to them (mine included).
Thus, I would like to take a look at The Gates of Slumber's discography to see how their different sounds rank overall. I will only be looking at their five full-length studio albums for simplicity's sake, though the numerous EP's they released also make for fun listens. I personally recommend 2005's Like a Plague upon the Land and 2013's Stormcrow in particular.
5) Hymns of Blood and Thunder
Hymns of Blood and Thunder is probably the band's most experimental album. It is easily their most traditional metal-oriented release as faster songs like "Chaos Calling" and "Death Dealer" outnumber the slower dirges like "Descent into Madness" and "Beneath the Eye of Mars." The tranquil "Age of Sorrow" and the folky "The Mist in the Mourning" also help keep things interesting. While some may deem this album an inconsistent listen due to the song variety, the solid writing makes it worth looking into. For added fun, take a shot every time they sing the phrase "Blood and Thunder" on the album.
Final Grade: A-
4) Conqueror
The Gates of Slumber's third album cleaned up the band's sound quite a bit. It's not watered down by any means, but the production is much more polished and the musicianship is much tighter compared to the band's first two efforts. In addition, the vocals are more melodic and the songwriting is more streamlined, resulting in a more accessible album that thankfully preserves the doom. The opening "Trapped in the Web" and "Ice Worm" deserve their status as the band's best known songs and "Children of Satan" is an excellent Maiden-inspired gallop. It isn't the band's most defining album but it may be among their easiest to get a feel for.
Final Grade: A-
3) Suffer No Guilt
If Hymns of Blood and Thunder is the band's most experimental album, then Suffer No Guilt is their most extravagant. This was where their classic metal influences started coming into play but they were balanced out by a slew of doom metal behemoths and interludes. A near seventy minute runtime does make for an exhausting listen, and twenty minutes of "God Wills It" is a test of endurance, but songs like "Riders of Doom," "Angel of Death," and the title track are among the greatest songs in The Gates of Slumber's discography. It's a terrific album, but one that I'd recommend once you've become properly acquainted with Gates and the more extreme tropes of doom in general.
Final Grade: A-
2) …the Awakening
As expected with a debut album, …the Awakening is easily The Gates of Slumber's rawest full-length. The production is incredibly gritty, the vocals have a strained yet unhinged quality, and the atmosphere has a dark otherworldly quality compared to future efforts. It may also be the band's most doom-oriented album, as the bookending title track and "The Burial" are among their most drawn out songs while "The Judge" and "The Jury" feature some of their most muscular riffs. It's another one of their trickier efforts to get into, but it's definitely worth checking out if you like your doom metal raw and mean while still retaining melody.
Final Grade: A
1) The Wretch
While The Gates of Slumber would be considered a great band for their first four albums alone, I feel their last album is what truly brings them to a legendary status. After lumbering from drawn out Reverend Bizarre-style drones to classic metal flirtations, The Wretch is the band's most straightforward album in terms of style. "The Scovrge ov Drvnkenness" and "Coven of Cain" bring upbeat riffs, "Castle of the Devil" features mournful psychedelia, and "Bastards Born" and the title track are among the band's slowest dirges, but each track is unified in a no-bullshit traditional doom aesthetic that homages Saint Vitus and the darkest days of classic Sabbath.
The Wretch is also among the most emotional and cathartic albums in the entire metal genre. As if the riffs and atmosphere weren't depressing enough, the lyrics are the most heartbreaking that the band ever penned with "Day of Farewell" and the title track hitting the hardest. The knife is twisted further when one realizes that the rhythm section that performed here is no longer with us, leaving Karl as the album's sole survivor. It isn't quite a swansong as the Stormcrow EP came out two years after this but boy did the band's run of full-lengths go out on a high note. It is shaping up to still be one of the best albums of the 2010s and I refuse to believe that it won't end up with a classic status. Absolutely essential listening.
Final Grade: A+
