SMS: Raised Waffles with Warm Brown Sugar Apples
This week's SMS was chosen by Lauren of Fried Pickles & Ice Cream: raised waffles with warm brown sugar bananas. These yeasted waffles take a bit of planning as the batter must be made and left to sit overnight before they can be cooked. I'm actually a big fan of waffles but I rarely have the motivation to make them normally. I might make an exception for these waffles though. I thought they were really good - crisp on the outside and tender inside!
I didn't have bananas on hand for the warm brown sugar topping so I substituted apples. I also left out the rum the recipe called for. I found that I actually preferred the waffles without this topping. I have a major sweet tooth but the topping was just too sweet and sugary for me. I froze most of my extra waffles and found they were perfect when I toasted them and topped them with just maple syrup.
Thanks to Lauren for hosting this week's recipe! You can find the recipe on her blog here or pick up the book.

Maybe this could be next Sunday morning's big breakfast for the guys...I am sure they would love it, and I am thinking I would eat one, too. Looks great.

Yum. I like the apple idea. Yeasted waffles are my absolute favorite, the only kind I ever make anymore. The girls love them too. I just need to remember to make the batter the night before. =)

Your waffles look delicious with the apples. I love waffles, but do not own a waffle iron, so I sat this week out.

Those look great - I think once you try raised waffles, you can never go back to the "regular" kind, even if more planning is involved. I want to try the SMS recipe!

Your waffles look so fluffly. The apple revision sounds great.

I like your choice of topping! I agree with you on the sweetness of her recipe. It was to sweet for me.
Your waffles look so good and Im glad you enjoyed them! - November 22, 2009 at 3:52 PM

HMM apples did sound like a good alternative, but perhaps the bananas were better? Who knows!

Your waffles look wonderful. Mine weren't as crisp as I would have liked!

- Stephanie said...
Mm APPLES - good idea! I thought these were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside too. I'm usually too lazy to do waffles, too - but these are great since you can do most of the work the night before!

This is a completely new recipe to me and I hope to try it over the holidays.
About the chestnut cake -it's really alot of work. The cake with its separated egg whites would be fine on its own. I think a few people have pointed out that the milk chocolate caramel icing (and the brandy syrup) would be lovely on any white cake. Also, if you do the whole thing, you need people who will eat a very rich cake.
Have fun! - November 22, 2009 at 7:28 PM

Your waffles look perfect! I enjoyed the sauce, but the waffles were so good they didn't really need something that decadent!

This makes me want a better waffle maker - I have some $7 one I bought a while back, and it never gets hot enough to make crisp waffles. These look delicious!

Those are gorgeous!!

I agree, the topping wasn't necessary. These waffles kind of make me want to make waffles every sunday! looks great

tasty waffles! I adore the apple topping

Your waffles look delicious... I think they'd be great for a holiday brunch! Mine never end up looking that nice, though. My waffle maker and I do not get along. :)

I love waffles. Growing up I always requested them for my birthday breakfast. I don't make them very often though. These ones look great. The apple topping looks delicious, too bad it was overly sweet!
- November 23, 2009 at 4:38 PM
- Pamela said...
Can you believe that I don't have a waffle maker? I'd get one for perfect waffles like this, though.
- November 23, 2009 at 9:39 PM
- Jeannette said...
yours look so great!! i botched my batch. i have NO IDEA what went wrong but i had to end up buying a box mix just to salvage our breakfast. :(
- November 24, 2009 at 8:51 AM
- Hanaâ said...
Your waffles look great. I was thinking of making the topping with apples too, which is why I added cinnamon to the batter, but then I decided not to make any topping after all my mishaps.
I know you're part of TWD. Have you ever made the Apple Bundt Cake that has apple butter as one of the ingredients? If so, would you please let me know if it was good? Thanks! - November 24, 2009 at 5:34 PM
- Eliana said...
These look awesome Tracey. I too prefer my waffles "untopped". Waffles are a favorite at my house so I will have to try these soon.
- November 25, 2009 at 11:13 AM
- Mariko said...
They look so light and crispy (I'm guessing the yeast helps with that). Yum!

Ugh. Idiots that were clamoring for LEGO to be exportable are now clamoring to know the price and details before they jump in. No wonder HMX never tells us anything...
"yeah you wanted the time / but maybe i can't do time / oh we both know that's an awful line / but it doesn't make it wrong." LCD Soundsystem
Regardless of how much the export cost will be, the game will be substantial enough on its own to warrant the price tag and my interest in it.
I want 8/20 songs already and the setlist isn't even near completion. Pretty good odds if you ask me.

Although by that point most people who wanted RB1 already had it, and HMX likely already made about as much money as they could from it. It was old, and RB2 decreased its value substantially.
Lego Rock Band is a brand new, full-valued game. If HMX encouraged renting to export in this case, they would receive horrible returns.
For Lego Rock Band? Or RB1?
RB1 is a different animal, because they had made their money off of it by the time RB2 came out and the focus was on profits from RB2, RB1 was an afterthought at that point.
Lego Rock Band is a whole new game, with a tonne of work thrown in. If you do what you are proposing to do, you are not only devaluing the hard work put into it not only by HMX but by TT too, but you are also showing that you do not truly support HMX in their endeavours.
Honestly, even proposing this is disgusting. I can slightly more justify (but only slightly, I still can't totally support it) the Track Packs, because of their nature (most of the money would be made upon DLC release anyways), but for a full-fledged game that has taken countless man-hours to produce, what you are proposing is no better than shoplifting the game.
That's Anette Olzon, not Amy Lee in my avatar
Must we devulge into the morality of renting v. owning games to export for the 3,259th time?

Brasserie S&P
Online Reservations
The food and service managed to outshine the room which is very open and can get very noisy when full. I would suggest that they try to do something to the ceiling to absorb the sound. I loved the food, but would hesitate to return unless I thought it might be a slow night.
Great place for a snack or meal before an event in the financial district area of SF. Quiet, refined, pleasant. Very nice welcome. It is a bit pricey, but if you park on Sacramento at 6PM you avoid the garage fees and can put that toward your dinner.
I was pleasantly surprised by Brasserie S&P. It's located on the ground floor of the Mandarin Oriental and it's beautifully furnished, with a calm-oasis vibe (except for an annoying kid or two). We came for Sunday brunch and ordered smoked salmon eggs benedict and fried egg sandwich, both delicious. Cafetiere coffee, unlimited loose leaf tea, my kind of place exactly. Service was spotless. Did I say I loved the quiet atmosphere? I will definitely keep this in mind for the future. Dinner might also be a good option, albeit a tad more noisy, I expect.
The resturaunt atmosphere was amazing a great place to relax and have an amazing meal. We started the meal off with one of the house flight of gin, being my first time trying gin it was pretty spectacular. We had three appetizers lamb sliders, oysters and most notiably the pâté. Any one of these is a great way to start a fine meal my favorite was the pâté. For my entree I had a perfectly cooked ribeye. The steak came from a local ranch, so the steak couldn't have been any better. The service was impeccable, we had multiple people constantly checking on the table. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Business lunch works well here as the tables are farther apart than at most lunch places and the dining area is set away from the street. Food was fine, but the quiet was most appreciated.
I think it was a bit drafty being in the lobby of a hotel close to the main door. But it was quiet and nice to be able to chat with my friends. The place felt comfortable, not crowded. There was a wait ordering and the food was so so. My dish did not seem fresh or hot enough.
Have been looking for different restaurants walking distance from the Embarcadero theaters for monthly movie group. Looking for good food, comfortable seating, noise level that allow Senior ears to discuss the movie without having to yell across the table. Lucked out with a Tuesday nite at S&P. can see that if the business hotel was very busy that night the experience would have been different, but still everyone was very pleased the light, pleasant ambiance (vs dark and lounge like) of the restaurant, and staff was willing to adjust the sound level of the music. Everyone enjoyed their meal (grilled calamari, Chinese chicken salad, hamburgers) and would come back for the food and setting.
We ate at Brasserie S&P courtesy of a package at our hotel. I was surprised to find that I would return any time. The food was top notch and the service was perfect. The wines are interesting and the server was knowledgeable. I has wonderful Drake's Bay oysters to start, charred calamari and a crab/shrimp Louie as a main course. My partner had crab cakes and halibut. It was quite the seafood fest! Everything was fresh and expertly presented and prepared. As a bonus you can really relax here -- it's not stuffy and the music features soft jazz and older vocal standards. The chairs are comfy and soft. For an unassuming lobby restaurant this was a real find.
Excellent Service, Delicious Food. We are strict vegetarians and the waiter and chef created the perfect meal. Nice seating. Centrally located in the Oriental Hotel in the financial district in San Francisco. A real gem! Thanks for you services, Lisa Herzog
We're always looking for warm rooms conducive to conversation that also serve tasty food. So Brasserie S&P is a real "find" for us. The lunch menu has a lovely selection of mostly lighter fair. The halibut was cooked to perfection; the sandwiches had high end ingredients and were nicely plated. The chairs are a bit deep for dining, but comfortable. Service was attentive and accommodating. We are already talking about when to go back.
My husband, teenage daugher and I (from NY) ate at Brasserie S & P our last night in San Francisco. Every dish was superb in it's uniqueness of combinations, attention to detail, and the way the flavors of the carefully chosen combinations came through for themselves instead of being drowned out in sauces. Just our favorite type of food. Delicate, creative, well put together menu with locally sourced produce and meat. Kudos to the Chef Adam Mali for his artistry! Truly a memorable experience with the flavors still lingering in our memories as part of our wonderful California experience.
Was a bit disappointed that a $38 ribeye steak is not really a steak. 5 pieces of steak fillet like how people serve beef wellington in other restaurant. A bit pricey.
Close to 5 star,use quality ingredients, very well prepared food. Stingy where there is no reason to scrimp. Very good salad with peach, but less than 20% of a peach. Another $.50 for more peach, home run. Excellent quality, preparation, and quantity wild salmon. Two very good miniscule vegetable Another dollar for five stars Wine list is a mess with a hand held device so you can only see a couple of wines at a time. I like to flip pages to look at several different varietals and wineries to make an informed decision. Therefore, only had a glass of wine where I might have ordered a half or even a full bottle. The place was empty, excellent service and very nice room. Expensive, a few minor changes would be a big winner.
Restaurant is inside Mandarin Oriental Food is delicious, atmosphere is great for chatting
Luxe experience, great food, personable service -warm saltty bread plate - we will be back! Plus postcard about upcoming AC34 race viewings with wine tasting!
I enjoyed lunch at this restaurant off the lobby in the Mandarin Oriental hotel in the San Francisco financial district. Service was excellent from "checking-in" through paying the bill, but I gave 4 rather than 5 stars because it needs to be more in the background. Food only received 3 stars not because of quality--all the food was good--but because of rather limited options. Lots of creative sandwich choices, but too many _sandwich_ choices. Nevertheless, Kudos to the restaurant for offering some reasonably priced choices. Ambience inside is nice (good for a small business or social gathering), but there is no view even if one sits by the window (recommended) and basically one sees the inside of a hotel lobby most of the time...
Decent food and notable cocktail and wine list. I was impressed with this restaurant's outstanding service. The waitress and the assistant waiter were very nice and professional. I would highly recommend this place for business lunch and dinner.
Found this restaurant on OpenTable, and what a find it was! The service was very good. The Hostess was a gem, and quickly found us a table even after our party size changed from the reservation. Our waiter, Joe, was always there when we needed him, but didn't hover. The food was even better than the service (if that's possible). Started with fresh bread served with locally sourced EVOO (DaVero Farms!! Yum!) In fact, most ingredients were locally sourced! I had the Duck w/ Huckleberries, my wife had the Farro Pasta - both cooked perfectly, and tasted wonderful. The beer menu is extensive, as is the wine list. Prices very reasonable for the quality of food and service that you get. We will definitely be coming back!
Had a great experience with Brasserie S&P. At first, we didin't realize -- and was a bit skeptical -- that it was located in the Mandarin Oriental, but it turned out to be a great experience. I ordered their free-range burger. It was actually presented very well. They had a fantastic wine and cocktail list. The bar was pretty busy, so the ambiance was great for a Friday night. The only (small) thing I hope to see improved on is the lighting. It was a little too bright for me, but other than that, I would come back here again.
WE appreciate having a place to eat a gluten-free Thanksgiving dinner when we are too busy to prepare our own.
I made last minute thanksgiving reservations for me and my two sons . The meal was good , 4 course dinner presented very nicely . The staff were great , overall it was a very good experience that my two teenagers were also happy about.

Learning beyond the classroom
Wednesday, 06 March 2013
Learning goes far beyond the classroom - that's the theme of a conference being hosted by Hampshire County Council to promote outdoor learning opportunities.
Around 100 delegates are attending the conference which is being held at the County Council's headquarters in Winchester on Wednesday, 6 March, and will showcase the range of ways in which the County Council encourages Outdoor Learning.
There will be a series of workshops for the delegates, mostly teachers and other education professionals, to help them increase children's experience of learning outside the classroom.
The County Council offers a host of exciting opportunities for outdoor learning through its country parks, outdoor activity centres and environmental study centres as well as through its Art and Museums service and via the Duke of Edinburgh award schemes which it helps run. In addition to this its architects' department is responsible for award-winning school designs which include purpose built outdoor spaces which encourage environmental learning. Through the Healthy Schools initiative the County Council also helps schools to promote healthy lifestyle choices with a strong focus on health and wellbeing and sustainability.
Keynote speaker at the conference will be Tim Gill, one of the UK's leading thinkers on childhood who has a focus on children's play. His publications include No Fear: Growing up in a risk averse society and Nothing Ventured: Balancing risk and benefits in the outdoors.
Four Hampshire schools will be making presentations at the conference about groundbreaking projects at their schools. They are:
Park Community School, Havant - developing a focus on the outdoors as part of a school rebuild
Otterbourne Primary School - transforming a meadow into an inspiring outdoor classroom
Dove House School , Basingstoke - Special Needs outdoors
Warren Park School, Havant - Whole school approach to outdoor learning
Commenting Councillor Roy Perry, Hampshire County Council's Executive Lead Member for Children's Services, said: "Classrooms are not the only venue for teaching and learning. The County Council has a wealth of outdoor sites including its country parks and activity centres, which together with school grounds, provide a rich environment for all sorts of learning from physical education, science, art and environmental studies to the less obvious subjects such as maths and English.
"It is important we get the right balance for children when looking at the potential of learning in the outdoors. Of course it's important to consider health and safety implications of any outdoor activity - as parents and grandparents we have to do that all the time with young members of our family. But we must not forget to balance that with the benefits of outdoor learning.
"I hope this conference will inspire teachers and other people who work with children to explore the range of learning opportunities beyond the classroom walls. Such opportunities will not only enrich the development of their pupils but will also I am sure, provide staff with innovative ways to support children's learning".

On this 29-day trip, you'll get to experience what they live every day--Bandung, which feels more European than some cities in Europe; Yogyakarta's volcanic landscapes; Bali's pristine beaches; and far more than we can possibly get into here.

Best of Java (AEJV)
With a population of 135 million crammed into just under 140,000 sq. kilometres, you'd think there'd be no room on Java left for adventuring. Densely-populated as it is, this amazing swath of Indonesia has loads of unexplored corners just waiting for travellers looking for something a little different. From Jakarta, you'll venture to the curiously European-like city of Bandung (the "Paris of Java") en route to Yogyakarta, home to the island's monstrous volcanoes. Later, you'll spend two days in Dutch colonial Batu before winding up on the gorgeous Balinese beaches of Sanur. (Hey, if you can't beat the crowd, join it!)

Northern Philippines Adventure (AQNP)
With over 6,000 islands contained within its borders, the Philippines is one of the largest archipelagos in the world. While we can't possibly show you all of them in just eight days, this journey through the country's northern half will feel more than comprehensive enough. Up here, you'll discover the arresting inland beauty of Luzon, known for world-famous (and incredibly picturesque) terraced rice paddies. Elsewhere, you'll be treated to a first-person encounter with the unique hilltribe culture that dominates the region, learning about witchcraft and healing arts from a bona fide medicine man. Looking for the road less travelled? It runs through here.
Highlights: Trek through remote villages, visit World Heritage rice terraces, explore hidden waterfalls and caves, savour Filipino cuisine
Southern Philippines Palawan Adventure (AQPS)
It would take several lifetimes to explore the 6,000+ islands that make up the Philippine Archipelago, but since you've only got one to spare, spend it in the South. A haven for sunbathers and spelunkers alike, the Southern Philippines are a thrill to discover—both above ground and under. Blessed with miles of pristine, uncrowded beaches, intriguing caves and the two-tiered Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, the Palawan province is perfect for travellers eager to try their hand at a variety of experiences in an underexplored part of South East Asia.

This is a perfect add-on to our other Thailand trips or a serene escape from the crowds of Phuket.

Restaurant watch
Scene sparkles, food falls flat
I didn't have a clue what to expect from this unheard-of restaurant in an unexpected spot – right in the heart of Willow Lawn. I came to learn it's not unheard of; it's a restaurant chain out of Northern Virginia.
"It definitely improves the look of Willow Lawn," said my friend, who ventured to the new spot with me on a Monday night for dinner one week after the restaurant opened. > Read more.

U.S. stocks skidded to a lower close Monday, as investors remained wary ahead of quarterly corporate results and another eurozone meeting.
Industrial and energy shares led the declines, with Chevron, DuPont, Caterpillar and Exxon Mobil finished the day down between 1% and 3%.
All three indexes closed lower, but bounced back from the lows of the day into the close.
The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 36 points, or 0.3%. The S&P 500 moved down 2 points, or 0.2%. The Nasdaq dropped 6 points, or 0.2%.
After 63 out of 103 companies lowered projections for earnings, investors are growing increasingly nervous about what Corporate America will say as second- quarter results kick off with aluminum producer and Dow component Alcoa after the market close.
"Investors are growing jittery before earnings seasons," said Ryan Detrick, Senior Technical Strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research. "There's a concern that the European slowdown has made its way to the U.S."
Overall, analysts are expecting underwhelming corporate results, with earnings dropping off compared to the first quarter.
Aluminum producer Alcoa reported second-quarter results in line with analysts' expectations, and shares moved up slightly in after hours trading. Alcoa's earnings fell in the second quarter, but the company said it sees strong demand.
Results are due later in the week from search giant Google and banking leaders JPMorgan and Wells Fargo.
Meanwhile, investors have new reasons to be worried over Europe's fiscal health. Early Monday, the yield on the 10-year Spanish bond rose above 7% again -- a level that Spain's prime minister has previously called unsustainable.
Increasing pressures in Spain's bond market comes as finance ministers from eurozone countries start a two-day meeting Monday. Leaders will hammer out details about how money from the European Stability Mechanism can be used to bail out troubled banks in struggling eurozone nations.
"While we've seen some positive steps in Europe, a lot of these steps address short-term problems," said Ryan Larson, head of equity trading at U.S. RBC Global Asset Management in Chicago. "There's continued nervousness in the global marketplace because there's a sense these are short-term fixes at best."
Meanwhile, China's consumer price index rose at a modest 2.2% annual rate in June. The lower inflation rate serves as yet another signal of a global slowdown.
U.S. stocks fell Friday following a weaker-than-expected monthly jobs report. The U.S. economy added just 80,000 jobs in June, not enough to keep up with population growth.
World markets: European stocks closed down. Britain's FTSE 100 shed 0.6%, the DAX in Germany fell 0.4% and France's CAC 40 slipped 0.4%.
Asian markets reacted to the U.S. jobs report and global growth concerns, ending Monday in the red. The Shanghai Composite tumbled 2.4%, while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong dropped 1.9% and Japan's Nikkei fell 1.4%.
Economy: The Federal Reserve released May's consumer credit, which expanded more than economists predicted. Credit expanded by $17.5 billion in May compared to analysts' forecasts of $9.5 billion, after growing by a revised $9.5 billion in April.
Companies: Shares of health care provider Amerigroup soared 38% after the company announced it would be acquired by WellPoint for $4.9 billion. The deal comes less than a month after last month's U.S. Supreme Court health reform decision, which will change the landscape of the country's health care system.
Shares of Campbell Soup dropped after the company announced it would acquire organic juice maker Bolthouse Farms for $1.55 billion.
Currencies and commodities: The dollar fell against the euro, British pound and Japanese yen.
Oil for August delivery rose $1.54 to $85.99 a barrel.
Gold futures for August delivery rose $10.20 to $1,589.10 an ounce.
Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury rose, pushing the yield down to 1.53% from 1.54% late Friday.

What a super, Midwestern, fall, running venue. One gets a sense of why Lewis and Clark loitered in the area for a week before embarking on their expedition. (Great interpretive center, Riverboat and art museums). One receives an itinerant taste of Sioux City's parks, river walks, hills, walking paths and, yes, intracity streets (it is in the city!). Concomitant to the course, the race personnel/organizers/volunteers and Iowa-friendly denizens were a treat. I signed up the day before the run, so it's still small-town runner amenable. (I had a good time at Buffalo Alice's afterward too.) All in all, a great place for a fall run.
I know I'll get flak here, but I agree with Frogger that the course wasn't safe when off trails. While there were police officers at every intersection, there were not officers in the long highway stretches where cars zoomed by mere feet away from runners. I am not exaggerating that I could have reached out and touched the cars. I have run small marathons before and have never had to hop over a curb, sidewalk, up a grass embankment, through a parking lot, and back onto the street. Additionally, the block-ish run through slippery grass was concerning. The volunteers and people were very nice - I always enjoy Midwestern hospitality and appreciate the spectators. Porta-potties at the end would have been nice. All in all, I probably won't return unless an entire lane of highway is closed and the grass areas are eliminated.
If you are looking for a big race with spectators everywhere and all of the frills, this is not one of those. If you are looking for a small, well organized race where you can just go for a run on a good, challenging course and not have to fight the crowds before and after the race, then this marathon is for you. Mr. Uhl and his group do a good job; they are organized, and even though the course varies between trails and city streets, it is well monitored and marked. Midwest weather in October can be unpredictable, but the last three years have had excellent marathon-running conditions. Thanks for your efforts. Keep up the good work; your attention to detail is appreciated. I look forward to coming back to run your race again next year.
I make this entry largely in response to the mostly unfounded criticisms of the 2009 Siouxland Marathon made by "Kind of like being the frog in Frogger!" To provide a little context, I would like readers to know that I have run over 40 marathons since 1998, including large field events like NYC and Boston, and other well known events like Grandma's Marathon, Twin Cities, Memphis St. Jude, and Las Vegas. I've also run my fare share of small venues, including the Omaha Marathon, the Gobbler Grind (Overland Park, KS), Olathe (KS), and Brookings (South Dakota). They were all excellent marathons, but none of them were perfect. If you want, or expect, perfect, then your career as a marathoner (or half-marathoner, or even a relay runner) will be short-lived. First, I would like to reassure all bonafide marathoners, half-marathoners, and marathon relay runners that I have run this and all other versions of the course since the event started in 2003 (7 years), and to date, the event has had a perfect safety record. Yes, there are sections on the course that are coned and shared with traffic. However, the course is very well supervised by the Sioux City Police Department - they have done an excellent job over the years - and Froggers' comments about the safety of the course are simply untrue. Other course comments made by Frogger regarding a few areas of muddy grass, and one steep, short incline that was not easy to get up ring of sheer amateurism. Any experienced runner knows that weather conditions (muddy grass) have nothing to do with the course design and layout. This comment makes about as much sense as criticizing the 2007 Chicago Marathon for being too hot. Experienced runners know and accept that not every inch of a course will be perfect. Experienced runners plan, adapt, and overcome. Although Frogger disputes the claim that the course is 98% flat, this statistic is, in fact, conservative. The event website makes no effort to hide the challenges of running the Stone State Park hills. And while the course features a few other hill sequences, there are significantly far more flat, fast sequences than hills. Frogger should not run Sioux City if Frogger needs crowds. Siouxlanders are some of the best people in the world, but they won't be out in droves watching the marathon. If Frogger wants crowds, Frogger should qualify to run Boston or put his/her name in the hat to run NYC. Frogger may not like Boston or NYC. I don't think either event offers runners milk at the finish line (NYC provides big apples). While both events have post-race parties, they are much more difficult to find than the SLCM party, which is (as described on the website and in runner packets), located at Buffalo Alice on the same block as the finish area in downtown Sioux City. Other complaints by Frogger are also petty - narrow chip timing mats? Frogger even complained that the event organizers provided shuttle rides to runners back to the start location. There is ample parking located near the finish area in downtown Sioux City. Runners are encouraged to park near the finish and take pre-race shuttles to their respective start locations prior to the race. These logistics and instructions are well documented; perhaps Frogger would be well served in the future by more carefully considering his/her options, but suffice it to say he/she was presented with more than one alternative in terms of getting to and from the start and finish locations. Frogger did not seem to appreciate receiving a commemorative training singlet in addition to his/her finisher's medallion. Such a sentiment only leaves a veteran like me scratching my head. I'm always in need of more training gear.
Siouxland is number 45 in my ongoing quest for 50 states plus DC. GREAT RACE! Have you done Iowa yet??? THIS IS YOUR RACE!!! Great course: Scenic bike path on the Missouri River; one high bridge to see the sunrise; one REAL hill at mile 16; and well stocked, well manned and themed aid stations. There's a multitude of directional signs and a multitude of running surfaces, and it is still relatively small so you can RUN right from the start. There are no corrals, but the half has a separate start and the walkers actually line up in the back. Now, the finish is really special - right in the heart of the downtown historic district, with beautiful buildings and the FREE PIZZA inside Buffalo Alice. It's a BUFFET with over 100 beer selections for a nominal fee. Oh yeah, that's where the award ceremony is, and you don't have to wait long - they get the results FAST. One negative (sorry, Steve): Although I agree that they should be highly PRAISED, the same people should not be awarded "Overall" AND "Masters" trophies. The idea is to get as many different people as possible on the winners' platform. ALL MARATHON FINISHERS GET A SMOKIN' RACE SINGLET! Again, folks, the runners' club races are the best - a race by runners, for runners. This is one I will do again.
The race director, Steve Uhl, did an outstanding job. Everyone I talked to was really pleased with their experience. The course was really nice, as long as you don't blow it by going up the big hill at Stone Mountain Park too fast (like I did). And the volunteers were really nice along the route. This was a marathon/half-marathon that I would try to make each year if possible.
Seventh year of doing this and there were only four porta-potties for almost 300 participants at the start-line of the half-marathon. At the finish, there weren't any at all. Had my family there and kids looking forward to the Fun Run, but when the kids had to go potty, we had to settle for a back-ally, which would have been a good place for the porta-potties. This is a basic need for everyone, and with the Fun Run event and efforts to cater to families, those putting it together obviously don't have kids. There was confusion about the time chips. Nobody really knew what to do with them. People say to throw them way or keep them, but the handouts make it clear that there is a $35 charge for those not returned. Velcro straps added a $3 charge. No place to return them. Staff and volunteers need to wear t-shirts or something at the finish so I know who I am looking for to ask questions. The kids' Fun Run was fun for the kids, but again, confusion as to when to register them and where. Nobody really knew anything except one person who was hard to find or track down. However, the kids really enjoyed the event and took a lot of pride in their finisher medals! We will do this again, mainly for the kids, but something has got to be done about the lack of restrooms at the start and finish. Not nearly as many spectators as I was anticipating. They probably knew that there weren't many porta-potties downtown, so they passed. Overall the volunteers and staff were friendly and as helpful as could be. It was awkward with one volunteer when I was with my five-year-old son at the finish, asking him where the porta-potties were as my son danced around needing to go. The volunteer didn't know what to tell me since there were no options other than to take him into a crowded bar.
I really enjoyed this marathon. Good organization, plenty of aid stations with excited volunteers (thank you!), and a course that was much more challenging than expected. Most of it was flat, but the inclines seemed to come out of nowhere! Good variety. Two complaints: First, the aid station at mile seven ran out of water and PowerAde; and second, the finish was good with your name being announced, but there was no direction for the runners after we received our medal. Still, I enjoyed it and my family enjoyed it too, so we are coming back next year!
I've done a few marathons now and this was the most dangerous, worst course I have run. Over half of the marathon was on city streets/highways and they were open to traffic. There were cones leaving a slanted, muddy, two-foot-wide area for runners. The parts that were on trails and in parks were nice; I wish the entire race had been similar. So, besides the course: Good: Shirts are great Medals are great Not that I wanted one, but finishers also get a bib (tech tank), which is nice Cookies at the finish - Thin Mints!! Yum! Foil wrap things at the finish Names announced on loud speaker at the finish Two waves - slow runners started an hour before the fast runners, so the finish was not so spread out. I thought this was weird, but REALLY liked it! Plus the half started at a different location. Aid stations - well staffed and prepared; a few had snacks and GU, and there were plenty of stations! Needs improvement: Nothing the night before Narrow timing mat to cross at start Crowds - there were none Organization at the finish - I had no clue where the party was after. No one was handing out water, there was no milk, and there were no seats or areas to wait for other runners. The start and finish were at different locations, so we had to be shuttled back to start to get our car. The course had a few areas of muddy grass, and there was one steep, short incline that was not easy to get up. Plus the traffic!! I was very uncomfortable most of the race because of the cars right next to me. Course. Oh, did I say that already? And, for the record, I like hills, but they advertised that 98% of the course was flat and I would dispute that. I won't return on the current course.
Overall, a nice half-marathon. The start of the half was at the halfway point of full. The first two miles were on paved highway. At mile 3, you encounter 300+ feet of elevation gain - whew! Tough mile 16 for the full marathon runners! Next several are downhill and fast, with a relatively flat back half. Water stations were frequent and well-staffed. The finish was well-staged, finishing with a main street-sprint for the last one and a half blocks. The only thing missing was community support - where were the people???

Re: Hall Of Famethey never tested mickey mantle or joe dimaggio for steroids, how do we know they didnt use them? same with tons of other players
Re: Hall Of Fame
The only thing Piazza could do ok was hit. He stunk as a defensive catcher.
Re: Hall Of Fame
They didn't use them because their feet and head stopped growing while they were still in their teens. On the other hand some of the players in the "juicing era" had shoe and head sizes change (get larger) while they were in their late 20's, well past the time of human skelatal growth for most humans. HGH, human growth hormone.
Re: Hall Of FameThis is far and away the best article I have read about the Baseball Hall Of Fame, how it should handle the PED users, and how history should look at the 90's and early 2000's..
http://espn.go.com/mlb/hof13/story/_/id ... -mlb-hall-
Re: Hall Of Fame
I'm not buying it. Putting spit on a baseball or corkin' a bat doesn't give a player anywhere near the same advantage as PED's. If they juiced, and it's obvious and detected, they shouldn't be in the Hall, period. What a travesty that we went so many years to break Maris's record, only to have it tarnished when multiple players surpassed it. Maris's record stood longer than Ruths and would still stand today as is obvious by the present day, yearly home run production. I would like to see Rose go in, I can see Perry staying in, but I cannot see Bonds, Mcgwire, Sosa or Palmeiro getting in unless they purchase a ticket. Clemmons can purchase a ticket too.
Re: Hall Of FameSeems to me Rose played the game fair. I quit caring when they wouldn't put him in.
Re: Hall Of FameGet Chipper Jones into the Hall of Fame even though he just retired and retired people don't get in til 5 years after they retire.
Re: Hall Of Fame
Whoa! Stop right there. That's my cuzin you're talking about. Mike may be totally gay; he might even be a Lesbian or a drug addict, although perusing his stats, if he did do drugs, he took some bad juice because he declined after he reached 30. But a ??????? Surely you jest. This is the same Piazza that walked into an opposing clubhouse in front of 27 opponents, armed guards, police, etc, and grabbed their pitcher who threw at him (Mota/Dodgers) and figuratively almost strangled him to death in front of the pitcher's friends, without batting an eye. A ??????? Absolute nonsense. But I do agree he should have grabbed the pierced bat and either stuck it up Clemens' fatass or stabbed him with it. But that game was on national TV and a lot of girls and wimmins were watching so it's best he didn't. As far as hustling, I've watched Piazza play in over 1,777 Dodger/Met games in person or on TV and NOT ONCE did I see Piazza not hustle. He may have had a weak arm and been the slowest runner in the history of sports but he always hustled. Show me otherwise and I'll send you to my Harrah's suite in beautiful Lake Tahoe with two of my best Quackos for a week. I think you're dazed and confused like me from Monday night's tackle football game. Vince Piazza Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
Avatar: My cuzin Isaac Murphy - a jock I'm tying to emulate in character and winning percentage - almost 47% lifetime.
Re: Hall Of Fame
I did qualify it as his time with the Mutts. While with the LA Lasorda's he was a different"Man". I never mean any disrespect to you or your family. Please, no horse heads in my bed and I dont want to be swimming with the fishes. The Dodgers Suck. No Championships in 25 Years. HAHA
Re: Hall Of FameOut of curiosity, and it is hard to compare, Baffert, Frankel and Pletcher are already in or sure thing Hall of Famers. Baffert and Pletcher have had multiple positives and all three were under huge suspicion all the years drug use was rampant. What about trainers like Doug O'Neill or Richard Dutrow, whose whole training career have been under a huge cloud of bad tests? Soon enough, with all of their training titles, thousands of career wins, and victories in Triple Crown and Breeders Cup races, their resume' and accomplishments will appear Hall Of Fame worthy. Should they be allowed in racing's HOF with all their bad tests and times they were sequestered to a detention barn? What about the "clean" trainers already in there that have had records broken by these guys? Or the "clean" borderline HOF trainers who would have won many more prestigious races had they not run against these guys? Or is Horse Racing's HOF deemed less important than baseball's? It seems that every sport, in the modern era, have all time greats with bad positive tests. Should every sport keep these "suspicious" guys out, or just baseball because it is perceived differently?

Sibongile Sikhuze pointed to his bandaged right knee, showing where a bullet entered and exited. He then raised his right palm, struck by a rubber bullet when he tried to surrender.
"They ordered us to lie on the ground. People were falling all around me," Sikhuze told CNN Saturday, two days after police opened fire on striking miners.
"Another bullet grazed my head. I didn't think I'd come out alive. That's why I raised my hands. I thought we would all perish there. We were surrounded by the police."
Saturday, thousands of people gathered outside the platinum mine, angry about the incident's toll: 34 mine workers killed, 78 others wounded, 259 arrested on various charges, including malicious damage to property, armed robbery, illegal gathering and possession of weapons.
The situation was calm, but tense, as police stood on guard near the protest and helicopters conducted surveillance.
Desperate relatives, meanwhile, continued searching for miners who have not been unaccounted for.
A day after South African President Jacob Zuma visited the scene of the shootings, a controversial, but popular, politician called on Zuma to resign.
"The minister of police (Nathi Mthethwa) must step down because this massacre was committed under his supervision," said Julius Malema. "The same thing with President Zuma."
Malema, former president of the Youth League of the ruling African National Congress, was banned in April from taking part in party activities after he gave a speech critical of Zuma.
He and the youth league helped propel Zuma to power in 2009. But in recent years Malema has become one of Zuma's fiercest critics, accusing his administration of failing to improve the lives of the poor.
"A responsible president says to the police you must keep order, but please act with restraint," Malema told the crowd. "He says to them use maximum force. He has presided over the killing of our people, and therefore he must step down. Not even apartheid government killed so many people. "
Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega on Friday said police "were forced to utilize maximum force to defend themselves."
Zuma told South Africans that they must come together to overcome national challenges, as they had done before.
"This is not a day to apportion blame," Zuma said. "It is a day for us to mourn together as a nation. It is also a day to start healing."
The tragedy began unfolding a week ago when miners went on strike demanding pay increases at the mine near Rustenburg, about two hours northwest of Johannesburg.
"When there is a rock fall, it is generally the drillers who are the victims," wrote journalist Greg Marinovich in the Daily Maverick newspaper. "It is the most dangerous job in the business."
The miners, who earn $300 to $500 a month, wanted their salaries raised to $1,500.
It came as no surprise that their multi-national employer, Lonmin, said no to the whopping increase. The world's third-largest producer of platinum said the strike was illegal.
The violence was believed sparked by a rivalry between two unions that wield a lot of power and influence in South Africa. The unions, accused of trying to outdo each other in negotiating wages, denied instigating the clashes.
Tensions at Marikana had mounted throughout the week.
The striking miners carried traditional panga machetes and gathered Thursday around a small hill. By then, at least 10 other people were dead from incidents that had occurred in the days before. Among them were two police officers who were hacked to death.
Journalists who were at Marikana said police seemed fed up with the miners and determined to resolve the issue.
"Yesterday the police were clear that today we are going to disarm them and remove them from the hill because the gathering is illegal," Xolile Mngambi, a reporter for CNN affiliate ETV, said Friday.
By Thursday afternoon, another round of negotiations among the striking miners, the unions and Lonmin had failed.
A heavily armed police Tactical Response Team moved in to disperse the miners.

The summer before I came to Deerfield was filled with uncertainty for me. Basking in the warm Mumbai sun during my last few weeks at home, I couldn't help but be ambivalent about my future. I had never visited America before, let alone Deerfield. And yet here I was, ready to leave my family, my home, and the warm tropical climate to head out 10,000 miles away to a New England boarding school. I could only rely on my imagination to know what Deerfield would be like.
It was at this time that I received a little note in my mail. The note was postmarked in Nahant, Massachusetts. The first line read, "Dear Rahul— Greetings and welcome to the Deerfield community!" I read on. The note was from Goran, who was assigned to be my "Green Key." In his own scrawl he said that he would be around to address any concerns I had throughout the summer and into the school year. I set his note down on my table with mixed feelings. I felt a sense of relief at having established a link at Deerfield, but at the same time I wondered what might have gone through Goran's mind while writing this note to me. Besides my address and name, he knew little about me but was still offering me his help, support, and friendship.
A month after receiving the note, I arrived at Deerfield. For me it was a new culture, a new climate, a new society—a whole new experience. On the second day of orientation, I was exploring the campus. I strolled from building to building, walking in and out of doors, soaking in the soft New England sun. I was strolling aimlessly on the path toward the Dining Hall. My growling stomach and the good food was beckoning me.
"Hey, aren't you Rahul? I recognize your face from your photograph. Anyway, I'm Goran, your Green Key," a boy said exuberantly. That was my first introduction to Goran. "You wanna play Frisbee?" he asked.
I said, "I'm not quite sure how to play—I've never played it before."
"I'll teach you," he quickly replied. Over the course of the next half hour Goran taught me the basics of Frisbee. I left my flip-flops aside on the lush green grass and we played until the autumn sun went down behind the Berkshire Hills. Frisbee—I thought excitedly as I put on my flip-flops—another new experience.
In the days and weeks that ensued, I met more people: faculty, staff, and students. All of them offered their help and advice to enable me to settle in at Deerfield. Reflecting back on those crucial weeks, I realized how each member of this community helped me in their own way. Whether it was lugging my over-sized suitcase upstairs to my dorm or showing me the way to Classroom 28, there was always someone there to help.
It is this supportive and spirited community that sets Deerfield apart from other academic institutions. For a new junior from halfway around the globe, faculty and students like Goran all contributed to helping me adjust to the new environment. The friendships I have forged with this community will stay with me for a lifetime, though we all part ways. Goran will move on to college in Connecticut; I will go back home to India. The spirit and pride of the community, and the memories of the days spent in a New England village will remain with both of us, as with all the members of this privileged community. Not quite the New England boarding school I had imagined.
