"Wouldn't it be nice if we had a tax code that looked like someone designed it on purpose?" - George Will
The FairTax Chronicles Launched!
This week, Americans For Fair
Taxation® launched a new fundraising program, the FairTax® Chronicles. This
fundraising initiative was selected for several reasons, including the fact
that non-profit organizations have been hit particularly hard during these very
difficult economic times.
FairTax supporters are extremely generous and we are deeply
grateful for all of your support. Instead of continuing to ask FairTax
supporters to dig deeper and deeper, we made the decision to work with third
party sponsors who are willing to pay AFFT for the opportunity to forward
messages that are important to them, and which we hope will be of interest to
On July 17, we sent an e-mail
explaining the purpose behind our decision to accept sponsored messages. Unfortunately, it appears that some of those e-mails
may have gone into your spam folders or may not have been opened and read. This resulted in some confusion when the
first FairTax Chronicle sponsored message arrived.
Please be assured
that neither your email address nor other personal information will ever be sold
or shared with any third party. Rather, we send the sponsored messages to you
on their behalf.
The sponsors
never see your name or any information about you unless you choose to
communicate directly with them.
A few of you inquired
if Congressman West, the subject of our first third party sponsored message, is
a co-sponsor of the FairTax. At this
time, he is a co-sponsor of the pending Flat Tax legislation, H.R. 1040. Congressman West has, however, publicly
stated on numerous occasions that he is supportive of the FairTax and sees the
Flat Tax "as a bridge mechanism to get to the FairTax." You can hear him in his own words here.
Additionally, you might be interested to know that six of the ten H.R
1040 co-sponsors are also co-sponsors of H.R. 25, the FairTax Act of 2011. We
are working to convince all members of Congress to solely support the FairTax
and recognize that no "bridge" is necessary. The FairTax has been properly
vetted for over 15 years and as a result, is 'shovel ready' for implementation now.
If you do
not want to receive messages from our sponsors, please click on the unsubscribe
link at the bottom of any sponsored message.
Even if you decide to opt out of the receipt of our sponsored messages,
you will continue to receive FairTax Friday and all other FairTax.org communications.
a longtime supporter of the FairTax, your continued commitment is deeply
appreciated and needed now more than ever. Thank you for your support
of our mission to enact the FairTax!

My husband was out of town this weekend and I thought it would be a good time to make a cheesecake. He doesn't like cheesecake at all. I also made a lot of food with cilantro in it this weekend since he doesn't like that either. It's always nice when the husband goes away for the weekend so I can make foods that he doesn't like. However, there are some draw backs of him leaving too. Like… loud scary noises coming from the heater that won't go away. That kept me up all night long….
I wanted to make something for Halloween and normally if it's a type of food that's supposed to look like something gross, I normally don't have any of the ingredients on hand. Everyone has leftover Halloween candy or has eaten a ton of it already before they have to go back to the store and get some more. I just decided to top my cheesecake with chocolate candy bars and caramel sauce. I used 4 snicker's bars, 4 Milky way's, and 4 Reese's Peanut Butter cups (the fun size kind). It's a good way of getting rid of that left over Halloween candy in your kid's trick-or-treat bag. I had the girls over Saturday night and they loved it. Hope you do too!
Candy Bar Cheesecake
- 32 ounces 1/3 less fat cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 fun-size assorted candy bars

|Step 1
|In a food processor pulse the oreos until crumbly. Add in melted butter and pulse a few more times until well combined. Place oreos in bottom of a cheese cake pan.
|Step 2
|In the same food processor (clean) combine cream cheese, eggs, sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Pour the cheese cake batter on top of the oreo crust.
|Step 3
|Preheat oven to 325. Bake cheese cake for 55 minutes or until the center is no longer wobbly. Let cool.
|Step 4
|Cut up candy bars into small bite size pieces and sprinkle them on top of the cheese once cooled. Drizzle cheese cake with caramel sauce and enjoy.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., -- April 21, 2007 -- Springfield track and field proved to be less than a kind host to their competition in the Springfield College Invite which took place on April 21. In the seven-school, non-team scoring meet, the Pride men and women won 21 of the 36 total events on the strength of 16 different first place athletes.
Freshman Nikki Hay (Norwalk, Conn.) once again performed admirably for Springfield, winning two of her four events, and placing second and third in the two others. Hay's winning time of 25.85 seconds in the 200-meter dash was a personal best that not only won the event; it gave her the second best time of the year for all Div. III New England runners.
Hay's other win came in the triple jump, her best leap at 37'0 ¼". She took second in the long jump (16' 7"), and third in the 100-meter dash (12.58 seconds).
Sophomore Kelsey Bishop (Warwick, R.I.) won the hammer throw with a toss of 170' 8", more than 28-feet more than her closest competition. Bishop went on to win the discus throw as well with a final of 103' 2".
On the men's side it was a similar duo leading the Springfield charge. Freshman Steve Headley (Wilbraham, Mass.) won both the 100-meter dash (10.70 seconds), and the 200-meter dash (21.79). He was accompanied by senior Alex Kampersal (Natick, Mass.), who finished first in the shot put (54' 5 ½"), and the discus throw (142' 1").
Other first place finishers on the men's side included senior Tim Rehm (Waldwick, N.J.) who won the 400-meter dash (50.11), Jeff Bartlett (West Newbury, Mass.) in the 1500-meter run (4:04.67), Tony Larkin (Walpole, Mass.) in the 400-meter hurdles (56.85), and Chris Okerblom (Salisbury, Md.) in the Pole Vault (10' 11 ¾").
The other winners in the women's meet were Katie Parente (Torrington, Conn.) taking the 400-meter dash (59.36), Kristyn Meade (Raynham, Mass.) in the 800-meter run (2:26.73), Alyssa Brigham (Penacook, N.H.) in the long distance 5000-meter run (19:02.57), Kayla Robertson (Peace Dale, R.I) in the high jump (5' 0 ¼"), and Allison Bradshaw who took the win in the shot put with a toss of 36' 10 ½".
Springfield College earned two more wins on the day in both the men's and the women's 4x400 relay. The men crossed the finish line in 3:25.46, and the women in 4:07.26.
Just down the Mass Pike another Springfield College runner had a great day on Thursday-Friday (April 19-20) in the decathlon meet at Holy Cross. Junior Mike Miller (Storrs, Conn.) finished second overall with a score of 6142, a total that was bettered only by close friend Steve Blum of the Coast Guard Academy (6197). Miller's score was the best he has ever achieved at this still early stage of the outdoor track season, and allowed him to qualify provisionally for the NCAA Division III nationals in late May. It included a personal best of 180' 2" in the javelin.

A professional music fan!
I just want to say how excited I am to have Godsmack, Stanid, and Halestorm come to Syracuse to play. I have driven many miles to see Godsmack play many times in the past and it is great to have them right in our backyard. Syracuse used to be the central location for a lot of great concerts but in the last 10 years always seems to get passed by. I hear there is a new promoter in town...

The Daily Star
---- — A veterans memorial was dedicated in the town of Middlefield Sunday.
The event was held outside of Old Schoolhouse No. 1 in the Hamlet of Middlefield, and drew a sizable crowd, filling the area's parking to capacity.
The Town of Middlefield Historical Association raised about $2,000 for the memorial, which consists of an inscribed black stone. All of the money came from individual donations from local residents. Tied in with the memorial effort is a veterans book, which aims to chronicle every veteran that was ever born or lived part of their lives in Middlefield.
Attending the dedication were American Legion, Clark F. Simmons, Post 579, Cooperstown; American Legion, Whitman-Hull Snyder, Post 1360, Cherry Valley; American Legion, Post 1566, Milford; Veterans of Foreign Wars, Walter P. Eggleston, Post 7128, Cooperstown; Woman's Auxillary, VFW, Sgt. Walter P. Eggleston, Post 7128, Cooperstown; La Societe des Quarante Hommes et Huit Chevaux (40 & 8), Rep. Christopher Gibson, Assemblyman Peter Lopez, and numerous veterans, their families and spectators. There were also vendors, food and music provided by the Small Town Big Band.
The first person to speak at the dedication was former Middlefield Historical Association President Jan Bartow, who explained how the memorial came to be.
The idea originated with Francis Morton, a member of the Middlefield Historical Association. In February 2011 she wrote a letter to her fellow historical association members suggesting that a monument in honor of veterans be erected in Middlefield. The letter also said that she would be willing to make the first donation.
"We told her we'd be glad to (participate)," Bartow said .
Bartow also introduced the three Middlefield WWII veterans attending the ceremony: Andrew Kubis, Douglas Olmstead and Homer Osterhoudt.
Middlefield's fourth WWII veteran, Claude Wilson, was unable to make it to the event. WWII veterans Howdie Cornish of Milford and Ivan Winner of Oneonta also attended the dedication.
Rep. Christopher Gibson (R-Kinderhook), a veteran himself, gave a short speech praising veterans and noting how special it was to live free.
"We pray for the day that we see war no more," said Rep. Gibson, expressing hope that the United States might enter a long period of peace after the war in Afghanistan concludes next year.
Rep. Gibson presented the WWII veterans with congressional coins, arranging later for the delivery of a coin to Wilson. He also presented the historical association with a certificate from the U.S. House of Representatives honoring the town.
"Patriotism is tied to the ideals," Assemblyman Lopez said. "We embrace freedom, we embrace mercy, we embrace compassion, that's who we are as an American people."
A music minister, he then led those in attendance in a verse of "America The Beautiful."
"Without the men and women whose names will appear in the memorial book, Middlefield might not be here,"said Otsego County Director of Veteran's Affairs Jack Henson, USMC (Ret.), who noted that veterans from Middlefield could be traced back as far as the French and Indian War.
The monument was unveiled after Henson's remarks, having been covered by the poncho worn in WWII by Middlefield resident Rudolph Softworth.
Cherry Valley American Legion Post 1360 dedicated the monument, while the flag ceremony was done by Milford American Legion Post 1566.
The ceremony was completed by a salute from the Cooperstown Combined Posts, a moment of silence, Taps and concluding remarks from the historical association.
"I'm honored to be here today," said Gibson after the event.
"It's a privilege," Lopez said. "I feel very small next to these people (the veterans)."
"My father, my grandfather, my uncle ... (were) all in the service," said Alan Christman, a Middlefield veteran himself, who said that this older generation of veterans inspired him to serve. "As far as for this monument, it's a good thing."
Christman spent 20 years in the U.S. Army, 11 in the 82nd Airborne Division and retired at the rank of First Sergeant. He has entered the information of his relatives into the veterans book.

The Providence football team found out a very important thing on Friday night at Cook Field — Paoli's defense is as good as advertised.
The Rams held the Pioneers to 96 total yards, including 42 yards rushing, in posting their fourth shutout of the season, 40-0 in the first round of Class 2A Sectional 31. Paoli (8-2) will visit Triton Central, a 33-12 winner over Monrovia on Friday night, next Friday in the semifinals.
Entering the game, the Rams ranked 14th in the state and second in Class 2A in scoring defense, allowing 10 points per contest.
"Their front seven is very good and I can't take anything away from their secondary," said Pioneers' coach Larry Denison, whose team got blanked for the second time in three games. "We wanted to try to throw a little bit and take it from there."
Denison decided to rely on the arm of Providence quarterback Nathan Banet on Friday because his top four running backs were inactive because of injuries. That quartet included juniors Owen Mattingly and Ben Hauber, sophomore Matt Bell and senior Erron Hickerson. Hickerson, who also plays defensive back, was out with a high ankle sprain.
"I would have loved to played them at full strength," said Denison, who also was without senior linemen Daniel Fernandez and Cameron Mitchell. "They were just a better team tonight."
Banet struggled under center, completing only 6-of-27 passes for 54 yards and three interceptions. Junior Conner Johnson led the Pioneer running attack, gaining 26 yards on 10 carries.
"We knew it was going to be tough to run the ball against them," Denison said.
The Rams needed only four running plays to score their first touchdown. On third-and-2 at the Providence 4-yard line, quarterback Lee Wroblewski ran 4 yards into the end zone to put Paoli up 7-0 with 8:51 left in the first quarter.
After the Pioneers (3-7) committed a 15-yard penalty for interfering with the Rams' punt returner that placed the ball at the Paoli 49, Wroblewski hit Rams' split end Tanner Wroblewski on a 47-yard pass along the right sideline to get the pigskin inside the Pioneer 5.
Then, running back Tanner Allen rumbled into the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown to extend the advantage to 13-0 at the 7:06 mark of the first.
Following a Providence three-and-out, the Rams reached paydirt again in the opening stanza.
On fourth-and-an-inch at the Paoli 47, Lee Wroblewski appeared to be stopped at the Paoli 48 on a quarterback sneak. But the Rams' signal-caller's knee never went down, as he broke loose for a 53-yard touchdown run to up the lead to 19-0. The advantage grew to 21-0 when Tanner Wroblewski caught a pass from Lee Wroblewski for the two-point conversion.
Paoli increased its lead to 27-0 when Allen scored his second 4-yard touchdown run on the night at the 11:31 mark of the second quarter.
Providence tried some trickery to keep its next drive alive.
On fourth-and-7 at the Paoli 48 and with the Pioneers lined up to punt, the ball got snapped to Banet, who was the upback. Banet executed the fake punt by completing a 20-yard pass to Johnson for a first down, moving the ball to the Paoli 28.
But Providence gained only 1 yard on the next four plays, turning the ball over on downs and creating no spark to its offense.
"We hoped it would spark us," Denison said about the fake punt. "But Paoli responded well. I thought it would jump-start us."
Paoli went up 34-0 with 21.9 seconds left in the first half, as Tanner Wroblewski caught a 1-yard TD pass from Lee Wroblewski.
The Rams' final touchdown came in the final quarter, as Dylan McClintock had a 1-yard TD run with 10:41 left in regulation.
The Pioneers say goodbye to eight seniors, who are Hickerson, Fernandez, Mitchell, Andrew Wimp, Bobby Coan, Cory Cecil, T.J. Hutt and Jake Braden.

The National Law Journal reports that a bipartisan group of 25 Senators have requested Senate Majority leader Harry Reid to bring patent reform legislation to a vote -- soon.
Fourteen Democrats, 10 Republicans and Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) signed the Sept. 15 letter. Intellectual property insiders say there hasn't been this much support for a patent bill since the American Inventors Protection Act of 1999.
The amended bill, which enjoys widespread support from industry and intellectual property groups, would give the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) the authority to adjust patent and trademark fees to address its backlog problem, and it includes a procedure allowing for challenges to issued patents. To improve patent quality, 3rd parties will now be allowed to comment on pending patent applications. The new first window review period has been reduced from 12 months to 9 months - and provides for a review procedure to weed out patents that should not have issued. The new standard has been raised for instituting a procedure by requiring a challenger to show that it is "more likely than not" that at least one claim is unpatentable. The burden of proof that a patent is invalid lies squarely on the challenger and any patent granted by USPTO is presumed to be valid.
Another key provision would change the U.S. patent system to award patents to the first to file instead of the first to invent. Other sections would require courts to consider only "methodologies and factors that are relevant to the determination of damages" and to multiply awards only for damages amassed after the infringement became willful. Willfulness must be demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that the infringer acted with objective recklessness. Mere knowledge of an existing patent is not sufficient to support a finding of willfulness.
The coalition supports the bill because "it would bring a great deal of certainty" to the PTO funding process, Johnson said. "Right now, what troubles the economy is that people are reluctant to take risks," he said. "Investing in research and development and patenting and building manufacturing facilities [to make new products] involves risk and reliance that what you're going to be able to sell will be profitable. [The patent application] backlog acts as a drag on risks that people might take."

Knoxville, TN (SportsNetwork.com) - Scottie Wilbekin scored 21 points, including a big 3-pointer with 2 1/2 minutes to play, as No. 3 Florida took a tough 67-58 win over Tennessee on Tuesday.
Michael Frazier II scored 11 points and Casey Prather gave nine points with eight rebounds for the Gators (22-2, 11-0 SEC), who have won 16 in a row since a loss at Connecticut on Dec. 2.
Jarnell Stokes had 20 points and 11 boards and Jordan McRae gave 17 points for the Volunteers (15-9, 6-5), who were coming off a home win against South Carolina on Saturday. Josh Richardson had 13 points.
"It's tough. I thought it was a tremendous environment," said Tennessee head coach Cuonzo Martin. "The fans were great but it's tough. We felt like we were ready to win the game. We felt like we did everything to prepare to win the game."
Stokes was fouled as he put in a tough hook shot with 4:32 to play and made the free throw to cut Tennessee's deficit to 55-54. Wilbekin then had a bucket blocked, but Frazier stole the ball from Jeronne Maymon and drained a three for a four-point advantage.
After Stokes missed a bucket, Wilbekin followed that with another long three for a 61-54 advantage with 2:27 left.
Stokes then hit 1-of-2 from the foul line to cut the lead back to seven, and Wilbekin missed a jumper, but Patric Young grabbed the offensive board and missed a layup of his own. However, he again came down with the rebound as Florida was able to kill off over a minute of the clock before Wilbekin completed the offensive series with a pair of free throws to put the game out of reach.
"It was an incredible play, I thought, by him," said Florida head coach Billy Donovan about Young. "He sold out, two guys were in front of him and he ran past and made an incredible save to come up with the loose basketball and they had to foul. It was an incredible play by him just effort-wise with four fouls."
Florida came out the gates with a 10-2 run capped on Wilbekin's layup just over four minutes in, and held a 22-16 lead after a Will Yeguete 3-pointer halfway through the opening frame.
Tennessee, though, countered with a 16-4 burst and held a 32-26 lead after an Antonio Barton jumper with under four minutes to play.
Florida closed the half with a 7-2 run and trailed 34-33 as Wilbekin put in a jumper at the buzzer.
The Gators opened the second half with a 9-2 run as Wilbekin hit a pair of free throws just over two minutes in for a 42-36 lead, and the team never trailed from there.

A well-known Fortune 500 company — it could be narrowed down to a Fortune 50 company — is planning to put a half-billion dollar project next to the AES plant.
That's $500 million.
According to a letter to Supervisor Richard Meyers, AES has a potential buyer for the 160-acre site which lies between the coal-burning power plant and Mayer Brothers. The Niagara County Historical Society Babcock House will be protected.
"We have been on the fast track between Rochester and Buffalo," said consultant Joseph E. Sharkey the vice president of TMNG Global. "This is our primary site. There are some legislative issues pending."
The secret is being called "Project Oasis."
The site would house a large data center to meet the information processing needs of the potential buyer. The facility would hold data processing and storage systems as well as offices. It would be managed by a staff of 150 to 200 people.
The Fortune 500 company was referred to as the "Potential buyer," "This purchaser" and "My client" throughout the course of the Town Board meeting Tuesday.
"I cannot tell you at this time," said Sharkey, who makes his home in Salt Lake City. "The legislation that's pending is our only major hurdle at this time for this site being selected. This is a Fortune 500 company. It's an every-day name company and it's been board-level approved for this entire project for all five or six sites, internationally. The budget for fast-tracking of all of this has been approved. It's pretty well focused on going."
Why Somerset? Sharkey gave four reasons: The climate, clean power, cool environment and a small carbon footprint. He also mentioned the availability of rail transportation. The Fortune 500 company would have use of the AES rails.
"They are a Fortune 50 company, actually," said Supervisor Richard Meyers. "They are a good company. Hopefully the state does the right thing, Senator (George ) Maziarz is working very hard to see what's going on over there gets taken care of. There is some legislation that could penalize this company. We hope this legislation gets put where it belongs, and that's in the garbage."
They may build one building or several buildings. Currently the company is considering three buildings so that operations can be started while the other buildings are constructed.
"We're on a very aggressive schedule," Sharkey said. "We are ready to move. If we knew we could to today, we would have concrete by December."
The company needs fiber-optic cable and there are major routes that run along the I-90 and two routes along 31. There will be two paths to I-90 and 31.
Meyers applauded the work done by Randy Roeseler and Jon Reimann of AES.
"There is some synergy," Reimann said. "They are co-locating next to an existing thermal power plat. There's rail, water, water treatment, renewable energy and back-up power. We're excited for Niagara County, we're excited for the town of Somerset, and we hope we can assist to bring this over the goal line."
Kristin Savard was hired to assist the town staff with site plan engineering review, site-plan performance and engineering questions.
"It's important for this whole area, this economically depressed area," Meyers said. "We've had one golden-goose egg in our basket and it's not going to be here forever. We needed to do something to kind of spread that out. This is a wonderful opportunity for the town of Somerset, county and hopefully for New York state."

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

New Chowhound destination in Reno: 5th St. Bakehouse
I have limited experience there but this looks like one of the coolest new places in Reno.
I stopped by today and got an ice cream and a peanut butter brownie. They make their own ice cream and I tried two. One is made with jalapeno in part of the process. Instead of a sweet finish (aftertaste) there's a spicy finish. I'm not sure I like it. The jury's still out. But it shows this is no ordinary place.
I did like the ice cream made with some sort of cookie. I couldn't understand the name but it's tasty. I got a cup. The peanut butter brownie was excellent, too. All first rate ingredients.'
I didn't see any bread I wanted to try but it looks like it might be pretty good. They also often sandwiches with fresh-made bread. That's what makes the tortas at Los Palomas on Wells Avenue so good. This definitely looks like a place to explore. Other restaurants in town seem to have culinary pretensions but the it looks like 5th St. Bakehouse delivers.
The owner lived in Reno before and returned after spending five years as a pastry chef in Napa.
It was hard to find. It's next to Keystone Cue and Cushion in the same strip mall that has Fresh Mex.
Pictured below are the building exterior, ice cream and the peanut butter brownie.
5th St. Bakehouse
953 W. 5th St.
Reno, NV 89503
(775) 323-1885
I stopped by for lunch and tried the Reno cheesesteak sandwich and the lemon meringue pie. Both were good. The sandwich was on cibatta bread and I still liked it, which is unusual because for some reason I hate Italian breads usually. The salad with it had nice fresh black olives. It was nice they weren't canned. The lemon meringue was nice and had a good crust.
re: SteveTimko
Steve, your pics look mighty tasty as usual! The breakfast sandwiches sound kind of interesting. I've just discovered restaurants making sandwiches and burgers with potato bread and rolls. The new 775 Gastro Pub at the mall, uses potato rolls for the burgers. Very nice!, really makes the sandwich.
re: SteveTimko
Fifth Street Bakehouse expects to get their liquor license any time now. Once they do they'll add small plates for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights. Tapas-style, although not necessarily Spanish-themed.
Below are bratwurst and a blackberry cinnamon roll.
re: SteveTimko
Love this place - great write-up in today's RGJ, altho I can't believe he's not "allowed" to give it more than 3.5 stars in service because they don't serve alcohol and you order at the counter...it's all relative. There can be 5 star counter service and 1 star table service regardless of beverage choice!
re: SteveTimko
dang, seeing this now after being in Reno two weeks ago.
husband and I drove through.
knew there was a recent DDD's on that featured a Reno place but had no major appetite at that moment. sure could have used your 'meal' though, I can always do ice cream and peanut butter brownie, are you kidding.........yum
5th Street Bakehouse has added dinners on Friday and Saturday night. It's mostly small plates, but they have a few dinner plates too.
I tried the crab cakes and the lamb meatballs and both were quite nice. The meatballs were in a Bordelaise sauce with a fig compote
They also gave me a complimentary spicy tomato bisque. It wasn't that spicy but it had a nice tomato flavor.
This is a definite plus on the dining scene.
The Greater Reno Grub and Gripe Group held a Chowdown Saturday at 5th Street Bakehouse to try their new Late Bakes, a small plates offering of dinner on Friday and Saturday night. It seem Bakehouse owner Dan Carter pretty much hit a home run for the group as most of the small plates were quite good and everyone seemed happy.
It opened a year ago as a breakfast and lunch place and they've started offering dinner within the last month. The idea is that it's mostly tapas-style with small plates. They also offer a couple of larger dishes for people who want a more traditional dinner.
So a group of six of us, Chowhounds Bill and Linda and Yelpers Dale and Erica and Tahoe Bill, tried it for dinner, ordering several small plates and nibbling off each one. The consensus seemed to be the best dish was the sautéed shrimp in the Thai red curry broth. We liked it enough we ordered seconds. We liked it enough we used bread to soak up the broth to eat. Fresh, tender shrimp Just killer broth. It was mild. I didn't taste much of a curry flavor to it. I'm guessing the main ingredient was coriander with just the slightest kiss of garlic. But I'm using wrong in this stuff. It was delicious.
For me, the second best thing was the braised short ribs with cheese polenta in a cabernet chocolate sauce. This is a full-size plate rather than a small plate. Super tender short ribs. Probably the best polenta I've ever had. The cheese added a nice flavor and texture to the cornmeal. And the chocolate sauce had a nice kick.
Several people also liked the chicken tamales with habanero red salsa. The cornmeal wrapping for the tamale was perfect. But what really made this dish for me was the salsa. You see habanero and you think hot, but it was at the sissy heat level. The flavor was excellent, though.
I passed on the salmon cakes since I'm not much of a salmon fan, but many liked it too. We got crab cakes which I liked but others did not. They didn't think it was fresh enough but it tasted fine to me.
The fried Greek olives turned out to be a surprise. We were expecting a tapenade (in fact the waitress said they were a tapenade) but they were whole olives. Unpitted, by the way, but I suspect they fry better that way. Nice olive flavor.
I don't remember much about the clams and chorizo. I liked the clams.
There was some controversy about the chorizo skewers. Bill said it was the only dish he wouldn't order again. In particular he didn't like the toughness of the chorizo. Others agreed with him. While I agree the chorizo was tough, the flavor was tremendous. I liked the dish.
Bill had a cioppino soup. I think he liked it. We also shared a spinach salad with a warm cranberry vinaigrette that was nice.
We passed on dessert.
With the beer and wine it came to about $28 a person and I think it's fair to say everyone felt that was a fair price.
5th St Bakehouse
Reno, Reno, NV 89503
The Greater Reno Grub and Gripe Group returned to 5th Street Bakehouse for another dinner when former Reno Chowhound JanetofReno returned for a visit. Overall the meal was good but it didn't reach the level of our first dinner there.
The Bakehouse has started offering its Late Bake dinners on Friday and Saturday, featuring tapas-style small plates and some larger entrees. For the return engagement that included Janet, her husband, Jerry, and Nevada Jim, two dishes stood out: The clams in a white wine sauce and the chocolate, Bavarian cream, strawberries and almond cake.
The clams had lots of flavor. Janet noted it had a lot of butter. I was getting something else, too, but I couldn't put my finger on it. We wanted to order seconds, but they were out. We got the last order.
The cake was delicious with nice chocolate flavors set off by the strawberries and almond. We also got a Bakehouse-made rum raisin ice cream to go with it.
The other dishes were good. Nothing we didn't like. But nothing really jumped out.
We split one large plate of shrimp scampi with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The shrimp was tasty and the sides were well done.
I don't like fish tacos so I didn't try them, but the fish tacos seemed well received:
The coconut prawns with orange marmalade and roasted jalapenos had some nice zing:
The bruschetta with cherry tomatoes, prosuciutto and garlic oil was pleasant:
The spring mix salad with avocado and melon and citrus mango dressing was nicely prepared. All fresh ingredients:
The chicken wings with barbecue orange and roasted red peppers were probably my third favorite dish of the night:
Before the tip the bill came to something like $17 each. Quite reasonable.
We had asked about getting the Thai shrimp that went over so well at the first GRGAGG gathering but I guess they weren't able to do that for us.

This! I think they have so much more artistic ability to tap into. D/W haven't even come close to fulfillment there. There's so much great music I'd like to see them explore, and choreographers I'd love to see them work with.
ETA: That was supposed to include a quote from another poster...oops lol.
And Boston now has 2016 Worlds! I don't expect it, but if D/W continued competing...
I'm going to twizzle into a triple axel and spiral out of it.
Meryl definitely takes most of her features from her father. I still say her mom looks like she should be Charlie's mom
Meryl seems to have her mother's eyes on her father's face.
And I totally agree. I always think Cheryl should be Charlie's mom.
@CharlieaWhite Sharing our key lime pie three ways... @derekhough and corky- hash tag say what say what http://instagram.com/p/arffPjMT9q/
I'm getting ever more excited to find out about the programs.
I admit I dont follow this thread so maybe you already posted this information.
This is what was posted by Doppio Axel, italian skating magazine:
https://www.facebook.com/permalink.p...52001281509228Some rumours from Detroit says that Davis White have chosen Sheherazade as Free Dance music theme ....
Since they knew about Pechelat&Bourzat free dance music almost 2 months before others, I think this is worthy information.
As of March 2013 - no longer scared of TAHbKA or Andrey aka Pushkin
I'd want them to inject Ballets Russes into the costumes. (Not likely ever to happen.)
I think Sheherazade would be a great choice for D/W. Sure, it's overused, but it really suits them. It is so diverse and colorful that it can help them show their expressive style at its best, not to mention that exotic music and a bright, sumptuous costume would match Meryl's striking appearance perfectly
And don't forget that this music turned out to be a lucky choice for an American skater at the previous Olympics
Derek Hough @derekhough 40m
On the ice with the champs @meryl_davis and @charlieawhite . Olympics here they come http://instagram.com/p/atXLkftoqW/
The music definitely fits them. And perhaps would be a nice contrast to their SD.
Need moar pictures. I love how Derek looks like he's trying to position their bodies perfectly in this one position Little details like that add to a program.
At least it isn't as overused as Carmen.
^^ Well, but you haven't seen D/W's Hough-choreographed interpretation, nor heard the music cuts. Nor even has the FD music yet been confirmed.

MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James led a title-saving charge, and now his crown will be on the line one more time in Game 7.
James powered Miami to a frantic fourth-quarter rally and overtime escape as the Heat beat the San Antonio Spurs 103-100 on Tuesday night to extend the NBA Finals as far as they can go and keep their repeat chances alive.
Losing his headband but keeping his cool while playing the entire second half and overtime, James finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, making the go-ahead basket with 1:43 remaining in the extra period.
Tim Duncan scored 30 points for the Spurs, his most in an NBA Finals game since Game 1 in 2003, but was shut out after the third quarter. He added 17 rebounds.
Game 7 will be here Thursday, the NBA's first do-or-die game to determine its champion since the Lakers beat the Celtics in 2010.
The Spurs looked headed to a fifth title in five chances when they built a 13-point lead with under 4 minutes left in the third quarter, then grabbed a five-point edge late in regulation after blowing the lead.
But James hit a 3-pointer before Ray Allen tied it with another with 5.2 seconds remaining in regulation.
James was just 3 of 12 after three quarters, the Heat trailing by 10 and frustration apparent among the players and panic setting in among the fans.
Nothing to worry. Not with James playing like this.
He finished 11 of 26, even making a steal after his basket had given Miami a 101-100 edge in the OT.
Before that, he was 12 minutes from hearing the familiar criticisms about not being able to get it done, from having to watch a team celebrate on his home floor again.

I had such expectations, the cast sounding terrific, the early Oscar buzz.
Then I went and paid to see the worst movie ever made — dumbfounding how anyone ever agreed to make it — an idiotic, stupefying, colossal waste of time.
I had such expectations, the cast sounding terrific, the early Oscar buzz.
Then I went and paid to see the worst movie ever made — dumbfounding how anyone ever agreed to make it — an idiotic, stupefying, colossal waste of time.
I sat there watching "The Master," knowing I should walk out but figuring something just had to happen because they would never torture folks like this.
But it never did, which brings me to UCLA's game against Utah, yet another idiotic, stupefying, colossal waste of time.
I didn't attend UCLA so I don't have to pretend a 21-14 victory over Utah was meaningful.
I was paid to be at the Rose Bowl on Saturday, and I'm not happy about it.
I care about entertainment, folks paying money to take a few hours off from life and have some fun. It's really the only reason to stage these games in front of people.
Now I know Coach Jim Mora still hasn't apologized personally to Steve Rourke, the longtime employee he berated on the practice field a few weeks back. I checked Saturday.
But I thought we were making headway when Mora knocked over a tape recorder at his postgame news conference and immediately apologized.
Funny a tape recorder would get an apology but a fellow UCLA employee would not. But since it came so easy I thought maybe he would tell the fans how sorry he was for boring them.
Instead, he talked about his players learning from their mistakes, and how odd to say so after still not apologizing to the school official he berated. But he said this game "was exactly what our football team needed."
Who cares what his football team needed?
That's why they have practice. This is about putting on a show, everyone around UCLA hyped after the team's 3-0 start and now looking for a sign they weren't faked out. Again.
As many people as there are who profess to being UCLA fans, how come the Rose Bowl looks as empty as it does? It's pretty obvious they don't think a day spent here is worth their time.
It's Mora's job to demonstrate differently.
Granted, it is no easy task with Fox TV doing the game, the endless commercial breaks making it feel more like a day at the horse track with so much time between races (or plays).
But this should have felt like a party, Utah surrendering before the game started by starting a true freshman at quarterback for the first time.
Instead of UCLA romping and stomping, it was a snooze fest. And while games like this "may not be beautiful and may not have great stats," Mora said, "there's something to winning these gut-grinders."
Maybe for him. But come on, I asked, "Weren't you bored most of the afternoon?"
"Excuse me," Mora said, and I really don't know why any coach should be excused for making something sound better than it really is.
But before I got around to my question, he was telling everyone in the room this was like some kind of monumental, sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat heart-thumper.
"Were you bored most of the afternoon?" I repeated. "Didn't you find that a boring game?"
"I don't know if I've coached a boring game in my life," Mora said, which was obviously a fib, because he had just done so.
"I think when you love your job it's not boring," Mora added.
"Oh, it can be boring even when you love it," I replied, and I know, because I was living it here in the Rose Bowl.
"Is that a question?" said Mora.
I told him it was a response to his comment while advising him from time to time that's how it goes when discussing what happens in a football game.
Sometimes these news conferences sound like Pentagon briefings after a bombing run, given the solemn tone in the room. And yet this was just a UCLA-Utah football game, a very boring UCLA-Utah football game, so why sound so serious dissecting it?
In the big scheme of life it's only a momentary diversion.
The UCLA sports information department passed out a transcript of Mora's postgame news conference, but edited out the question asking Mora if it was a boring game.
Sometimes UCLA thinks it really is conducting Pentagon business, I guess.
What's wrong with Mora playing it straight with everyone and just saying, "I'm sorry we couldn't give you an exploding scoreboard on what should be a more exciting football Saturday? We owe you one, and I think the day is coming when we will deliver on that promise."
What's wrong with admitting the obvious, and saying, "I'm sorry we could only give you one touchdown in the second half, but if I'm right about the freshmen we're playing, we're going to have a bunch of exciting second halves for years to come."
And what's wrong with taking maybe just another 10 seconds to say, "I'm sorry for mistreating Steve Rourke."
It still would have been a boring game, but it's amazing how understanding folks can be when you tell them you are sorry and you can do better.

More false accusations against the PopePosted on May 31st, 2010 by Squeaker in Catholic Scandals, Media Distortions
For a while it seemed as though the main stream media had given up on trying to blame the Pope for the sex abuse scandals, but the Associated Press has just relapsed. Yesterday they launched another wet fire-cracker to try an incriminate the Holy Father. This accusation is so fallacious and empty that I'm surprised the editors of the AP had the audacity to publish it. Must have been a slow day.
Catholic Culture has great coverage below. The accusation is so impotent that the entire article — describing the accusation and debunking it — only takes 2 paragraphs! I've copied the article below. Read the rest of this entry »

and judge me, with those awful black beads.
You know nothing of what I feel.
You think it unhealthy;
But there is more here
than what you can decipher.
Don't tell me that she is gone,
and tell me that I am wrong,
and tell me I'm absurd,
and tell me I'm obsessed.
I won't listen.
You've made your choice and I've made mine.
I tell you here and now, I'd give up everything
Just to hear her voice,
To see her vibrant face.
To hold her hands, folded beneath my own,
and feel the warmth of her fingertips.
Just to see those diamond eyes,
Pulse and Blink,
Squint and Widen.
It isn't fair, that all I will ever know
Is that of imagination
and old photographs.
There is no color, no sound, no life in them.
How I have begged the Great King of Heaven
To send her back to me,
a line I know well I should not have crossed.
I'm so twisted up inside
and yet you still won't relent.
You mock me
and my plea for absolution.
What sick game is this you play?
Why must you deny what I know to be true?
You think you can trick me into deceiving myself.
Well you listen here, and you listen well.
I have now begun to understand.
You are wrong!
She is not gone.
She is the yellow wind sweeping through my soul.
She is the light my eyes behold.
She is the sweet vibration of my heart string's resonance.
She is the necessity of my insistence.
She is the shroud of my silhouette across the moon.
She is my radiant pearl among the dunes.
She is the one with the milk-white gleam.
She is the one I will hold in my dreams.
Hark! The black ink bleeds, do not deny me this subtlety.
She's with me and I with She;
And that's the way I want it to be.

My wife also wants to try out the Shadowrun game I am joining, but she really prefers using swords over guns. So she was wondering if there is any way (with either skills, items, implants?) that she can do this without being a burden on the party. I figured with all of the tech there is some way to make the range and speed of guns a non-issue.
In general, guns are more powerful than swords, for a couple of reasons:
Swords have the following advantages:
Whether or not a sword character can be viable in Shadowrun depends a lot on the GM's style, the situation, and the strategies of the players. In a sniper battle at ranges of 500+ meters, or a car chase, a sword character is going to be relatively useless. In a close-quarters urban firefight, a sword character can potentially dominate the field.
I would recommend using one of the following play styles:
All three play styles allow for some kind of ranged attack (throwing weapons, or spells) to supplement sword-play and ensure that your character gets involved even when it's hard to close the gap.
It's worth mentioning that low-tech ranged weapons, like bows, can also be very effective in Shadowrun for a character with high strength, and don't suffer from some of a sword's obvious disadvantages.
If you're a GM, you should be aware of your party composition, and throw in challenges sometimes that appeal to your party's strengths. If you have a sword character in the party, throw them a couple of sword-wielding goons now and then to beat on.
You definitely can if you spend your BP well--I've seen a character who leaned on a bow & arrows, and some heavily modded punching, clean up in combat :p Shadowrun is a flexible system, and ideally the GM will take her character's strengths and weaknesses into account. Depending on the kind of adventure you're getting into, she might considering having another skill set besides fighting that will make her crucial to the party as well, such as wilderness survival, breaking and entering, or social manipulation.
If she's okay with playing a low-essence character, then there a lot of mods that will allow her to tank or ninja as she pleases. Getting modded for extra initiative passes (and generally pumping your reflexes) is a good place for a low-tech melee character to start; that way you can get in a lot of hits/close distance between you and an opponent/get behind something before other characters have time to react. She might consider taking a look through the Unarmed Combat/Martial arts qualities as well. If memory serves, there are a lot of advantages that even a vanilla metahuman can get through the special moves accompanying various marital arts.
Also, does she object to tech updates on fantasy-style weapons like, say, a monofilament sword? SR has some nice cyberpunk versions of old-fashioned weapons available. Basically, there's a lot of support in the system for characters with extreme, out-there shticks, and chances are that somewhere in SR there's a combination of stats and gear that makes it viable.

Lady Be Good was an American B-24D Liberator, AAF serial number 41-24301, which flew for the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. Based at Soluch Field[1][note 1] in Soluch (today Suluq and Benina International Airport, Libya) as part of the 514th Bomb Squadron, 376th Bomb Group, it failed to return from an April 4, 1943 bombing raid on Naples, Italy. At the time, the plane was assumed to have crashed into the Mediterranean Sea and its nine crew members were classified as Missing in Action.
In 1958 the nearly intact Lady Be Good was discovered 710 km (440 mi) inland. Subsequent searches uncovered the remains of all but one of the crew.
The crew of Lady Be Good were on their first combat mission, having arrived in Libya on March 18, 1943. The aircraft was also new, having reached the 376th Bombardment Group (Heavy) on March 25. The plane had the identification number 64 stencil-painted on its nose and its given name hand-painted on the starboard, front side of the forward fuselage; it was one of 25 B-24s assigned to bomb Naples late in the afternoon of April 4.
The members of the Lady Be Good crew were:
The crew took off from Soluch Field shortly after 3 pm., one of the last to depart. High winds and obscured visibility prevented it from joining the main formation of bombers, and it continued the mission on its own. Their mission was the second part of a two-part, two-flight raid on the harbor of Naples, with a flight of 13 B-24s.[2]
Nine B-24s returned to base because of the sandstorm, and four aircraft continued on. They arrived over Naples at 7:50 pm. at 7600 m (25,000 feet). With bad visibility, they did not bomb the primary target, but two B-24s hit their secondary target on the return trip, and two dumped their bombs into the Mediterranean to reduce weight and save fuel.[2] The Lady Be Good flew back alone from Italy on the return trip to its home base in Libya.
At 12:12 am.[2] the pilot, Lt. Hatton, called base by radio and stated that his automatic direction finder was not working and asked for a location of base. The bearing indicated the Lady Be Good was flying on a direct path from Naples to Benghazi.[3]:p.28 However the radio direction finder in use at the base had only a single loop antenna and was unable to distinguish between a true bearing and its reciprocal, so that the same bearing would be returned whether the plane was inbound from the Mediterranean or if it had overflown the base and was heading inland.[3]:pp.28-29
The plane apparently overflew its base and did not see flares fired to attract its attention; the plane continued into the interior of North Africa for two more hours. At 2 am., the crew parachuted to the ground and the Lady Be Good continued on for 26 km (16 mi) more with no one aboard, crash-landing in the Calanshio Sand Sea of the Libyan Desert. A search and rescue mission from Soluch Air Base to find the missing bomber was unsuccessful and no trace of the crew or aircraft was found.[2]
After the crew abandoned the aircraft, it continued flying southward. The mostly intact wreckage and evidence showing one engine was still operating at the time of impact suggests the aircraft gradually lost altitude in a very shallow descent, reached the flat, open desert floor and landed on its belly.
The first reported sighting of the crash site was on November 9, 1958 by a British oil exploration team. The team contacted authorities at Wheelus Air Base, but no attempt to examine the aircraft was made as no records existed of any plane believed to have been lost in the area.[2][3]:p.25 The location of the wreckage was however marked on maps to be used by oil-prospecting teams that were due to set out to explore the Calanshio Sand Sea the next year.[3]:p.25
On February 27, 1959, British oil surveyor Gordon Bowerman spotted the wreckage near 26°42′45.7″N 24°01′27″E / 26.712694°N 24.02417°E, 710 km (440 mi) southeast of Soluch, following up the first sighting from the air on May 16, 1958, and another on June 15. A recovery team made initial trips from Wheelus Air Base to the crash site on May 26, 1959.[4]
Although the plane was broken into two pieces, it was immaculately preserved, with functioning machine guns, a working radio, and some supplies of food and water. A thermos of tea was found to be drinkable. No human remains were found on board the aircraft nor in the surrounding crash site, nor were parachutes found. Evidence aboard the plane indicated that the men had bailed out. Records in the log of navigator Lieutenant Hays, who was on his very first combat mission, ended at Naples.[2]
|Wreckage of the Lady Be Good
In February 1960, the United States Army conducted a formal search for the remains of the airmen, and five were found. Finding evidence that three other crew members had continued walking northward to seek help, the exploration concluded their bodies were likely buried beneath sand dunes. When the news media reported on the crashed plane and the five recovered bodies, an expanded joint effort of the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army called Operation Climax took place in May 1960, using a C-130 cargo plane and two Army Bell H-13 helicopters. A British Petroleum exploration crew found the remains of Staff Sgt. Shelley on May 12, 1960, 38 km (24 mi) northwest of the five bodies that were initially found, and a U.S. helicopter found Tech. Sgt. Ripslinger on May 17, 1960. His remains were located 42 km (26 mi) northwest of Shelley.[2] These two bodies were the only ones found during Operation Climax. The body of Lt. Woravka was later found by another British Petroleum oil exploration crew in August 1960, and his remains were then recovered by the U.S. Air Force.
After parachuting to the desert floor, eight of the nine airmen had managed to meet up by firing their revolvers and signal flares into the air. They had not been able to find the ninth crewman, bombardier Lt. John Woravka, because unknown to them his parachute had only partially opened and he likely died on impact.[3]:p.38 Thinking they were fairly close to the Mediterranean coast, the eight surviving crew members walked north, leaving behind footwear, parachute scraps, Mae West vests and other items as markers to show searchers what their path had been. They survived for eight days, sharing only a single canteen of water while walking over 100 miles (160 km) in searing heat before perishing. Remains of five airmen were found in a group nearly 80 miles (130 km) from the crash site. The other three (Guy Shelley, "Rip" Ripslinger and Vernon Moore) had set off to try to find help while the other five waited behind. The bodies of Shelley and Ripslinger were found 32 km (20 mi) and 43 km (27 mi) further north, respectively. Moore's remains were never found, although it is possible that in 1953 his body had been spotted and buried by a British desert patrol, unaware that any air crews from the war had ever gone missing in the area.[note 2]
A diary recovered from the pocket of co-pilot Robert Toner told of much suffering on the walk northward and indicated the crew were unaware they were over land when they bailed out. There has been speculation that whatever airborne glimpses they may have caught of the empty desert floor in the darkness looked like open sea. It seems the crew never understood they were more than 400 miles (640 km) inland.[3]:p.31
Some believe that the crew could have survived had they known how far inland they were and had their maps shown the area where they bailed out. Going north, the distance they walked was slightly less than the distance needed to reach the oasis of Wadi Zighen that was south of them, but they were wholly unaware of this. Additionally, if they had headed south they would have very probably found the wreckage of the Lady Be Good with its water and food supplies, however meager, along with its working radio, which they might have used to call for help.[3]:p.38
According to the Graves Registration Service report on the incident:
The aircraft flew on a 150 degree course toward Benina Airfield. The craft radioed for a directional reading from the HF/DF station at Benina and received a reading of 330 degrees from Benina. The actions of the pilot in flying 440 miles into the desert, however, indicate the navigator probably took a reciprocal reading off the back of the radio directional loop antenna from a position beyond and south of Benina but 'on course'. The pilot flew into the desert, thinking he was still over the Mediterranean and on his way to Benina.[6]
Parts of the plane were scavenged or returned to the United States for evaluation. A few aircraft with replacement parts from Lady Be Good later had inflight problems. A U.S. Army de Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter with an armrest from the bomber crashed in the Gulf of Sidra. Only a few traces of the plane washed ashore and one of these was the armrest from the Lady Be Good.[7]
Some parts from the Lady Be Good may be seen today at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. A propeller can be seen in front of the village hall in Lake Linden, the home of Robert E. LaMotte.
The U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum at Fort Lee, Virginia has a collection of military issue items, such as watches, silk survival maps, and flight clothing from the crew members who were recovered. Several of these items are on display.
An altimeter and manifold pressure gauge were salvaged from the plane in 1963 by Airman Second Class Ron Pike and are on display at the March Field Air Museum just south of Riverside, CA.
A Royal Air Force team visited the site in 1968 and hauled away components including an engine (later donated to the US Air Force) for evaluation by the McDonnell Douglas company. Other pieces were stripped by souvenir hunters over the years.
In August 1994, the remains of the craft were recovered by a team led by Dr. Fadel Ali Mohammed and taken to a Libyan military base in Tobruk for safekeeping.[6] The remains were subsequently moved and are now stored at Jamal Abdelnasser Air Force Base, Libya.
The remains of the Lady Be Good were in a "police yard" in Tobruk as of October 27, 2012.[citation needed]
A stained-glass window in the chapel at Wheelus Air Base commemorates Lady Be Good and her crew.[2]
The Lady Be Good incident was indirectly referenced in a couple of television shows and movies. Sole Survivor, a 1970 made-for-TV movie, was about the ghosts of a B-25 bomber crew that crashed in the Libyan desert.[8]
"King Nine Will Not Return" is an episode of The Twilight Zone that told the story of a B-25 crew member finding himself alone with the wreckage of his plane in the desert.[9] In the episode, the marker of a grave of a member of the fictional plane's crew is dated "5 Apr, 1943," the day on which Lady Be Good was lost.

I was researching the career of Fernando Mamede. I remembered him my high school years (1982-86). I remember him setting the world record in the 10,000 meters and his lack of success in the big international meets which was usually blamed on Mamede being "mentally weak", especially compared to Carlos Lopes. I didn't know that he competed in three Olympics ('72, '76, '84). In the '72 Olympics he competed in the 800/1500 and ran a leg in the 4x400 relay. In the '76 Olympics he competed in 800/1500. That's quite some range there! I doubt there has been many runners who have competed in the 4x400 and the 10,000 meters at the Olympics. Does anyone know his PR's in the 400/800/1500?
Re: Fernando Mamede
Mamede PRs: 48.2, 1:47.45, 3:37.98
Mamo Wolde ran the 4x400 in '56, and won the marathon in '68.

Thanks dj! And Wolde! Wow.
Re: Fernando Mamede
Don't know his 400 PR, but I saw him finish a 5k with what looked to me at the time like a very fast lap, in Dublin, c. 1978. Admittedly it was a typical Mamede flourish, at the end of a 13:30+ race against domestic competition that probably didn't extend him too much.
