After performing a remarkable about-face with his golf career, it seems Steve Stricker is getting tired of answering comeback questions.
Stricker, whose remarkable 2007 season vaulted him to No. 4 in the world golf rankings and earned him PGA Tour Comeback Player of the Year honors for the second consecutive year, admitted this week that constant questions about his comeback are starting to get on his nerves.
"I try to be as polite as possible, and I do answer the questions, but it's been three years and I've had two really solid years," Stricker told reporters this week. "I feel like that's way on the back burner now and I've been looking forward and looking to what I want to continue to do and not look so much in the past anymore.
"So when people do bring it up, it does tend to bother me a little bit. It's a nice story but it's an old story is the way I feel about it. It's two or three years ago. I still answer them, but I'd rather talk about what I've done just recently or what I'm going to do moving forward."
The immediate future will find Stricker competing in an elite 16-player field in the $5.75 million Target World Challenge Dec. 13-16 at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif. The winner will take home $1.35 million in the 72-hole tournament with proceeds to benefit the Tiger Woods Foundation.
Stricker will be joined by Woods, Jim Furyk, Vijay Singh, Rory Sabbatini, Henrik Stenson, Luke Donald, Niclas Fasth, Paul Casey, Brett Wetterich, Lee Westwood, Mark Calcavecchia, Colin Montgomerie and Fred Couples. The field includes players from seven different countries and three of last year's four major champions in Johnson (Masters), Harrington (British Open) and Goods (PGA Championship).
"Golf has always been a vehicle so I could touch others and help kids and make sure that they get to feel and experience the things that — the lucky opportunities that I've had in my life," Woods said in a press conference promoting the event. "I've had mentors in my life, I've had people take an interest in me when I could have easily gone down the wrong path, but they've made sure I've stayed on the straight and narrow.
"Not everyone has that type of support. We're here to do that."
For Stricker, it's just a thrill to be considered one of golf's top players. But even though he's ranked among the top four in the world, he said he doesn't consider himself to be in the same class as players like Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Retief Goosen and Singh.
Why not?
"Because we've always looked at them that way, I guess, (as) the Big Four or the Big Five — whatever you want to say," Stricker said. "I've had two good years and I've snuck in there. I don't see myself as that."
Maybe he should start.
Stricker made 19 of 23 cuts this past season on the PGA Tour and had nine top-10 finishes, including a win at The Barclays. Even with a 13th-place tie in the U.S. Open and eighth-place tie in the British Open, Stricker said his victory was definitely the highlight.
"It was such a long time in between wins," said Stricker, who hadn't won a stroke-play event since 1996. "That definitely was the highlight of my career. And I still, my wife and I talk about it, that did-it-really-happen type of thing. We still can't believe it yet.
"It meant a lot. It just proved to me that the work that I've been doing had paid off and that I'm heading in the right direction."
December 13, 2007
Davis Love III, who played the final 57 holes of the Children's Miracle Network Classic without a bogey, finished at 25-under 263 in the season-ending event played at the Walt Disney World Golf Resort in Florida. It has been a long road back for Love, who severely sprained his ankle late last year. After tearing ligaments, he needed surgery, and he's spent much of this year rehabilitating the injury.

Architectural roofing shingles
Most probably all of us have heard of metal roofing or three tab shingles. But what about architectural roofing shingles? What are these? Having appeared in 1970s, they take an important position among the most popular roof shingles nowadays. Architectural (also called laminated, composite or dimensional) shingles are a type of asphalt shingle providing a three-dimensional appearance and adding texture to the roof. They consist of 2-3 layers of laminated heavy fiber glass, water-resistant asphalt and mineral granules embedded in the asphalt base.
A great variety of manufacturers, including the most well-known GAF, TAMKO, CertainTeed and IKO, resulted in a wide range of prices, patterns, colors and textures with some of them imitating shakes, weathered wood, slate, clay tiles, cedar and other natural materials. But the benefits of architectural shingles are not only aesthetic. They are also better at preventing water seepage than regular shingles and have excellent tear, fire and wind resistance. They can withstand wind speeds up to 130 miles per hour and are warranted to last 25 to 50 years or even have a lifetime warranty. Most of those roofing shingles help to prevent mold growth and algae-caused black streaks.
Architectural Shingle Installation
Architectural shingles are quite easy to install because you don't have to align tabs or match a specific pattern.
Things you'll need:
- Hammer;
- Work gloves;
- Roofing nails;
- Nail gun;
- Starter strips;
- Utility knife;
- Shingles;
- Ladder;
- Chalk line.
Follow 10 pieces of advice:
- Prepare all the tools and supplies needed.
- A starter strip should be installed along the roof edge. It will prevent the roof from leaking through the gaps between shingles. To save money buy pre-cut starter strips.
- Start laying down shingles from the lower left corner, proceed to the right and upward. Leave the first shingle in every row overhanging about 1/8 inch over the left roof edge to prevent any fascia deterioration.
- Nail each shingle below the tar strip with the help of a nail gun or a hammer. A nail gun would be preferable if you want to save time, as it would be three times quicker. But hand nail them if the quality plays a more important role for you. By using 4 nails across the center of a shingle, attach them to the roof. To count how many shingles you'll need, multiply the width by the length of your roof, divide by 100, and then add 10 percent. Shingles are usually sold in squares which simplifies the calculations a great deal. Also buy 2? pounds of nails for a square of shingles.
- To keep rows straight one may use a chalk line.
- The ends of the roofing shingles and the tab notches shouldn't be directly above the gaps which are in the shingles below. Don't line up the gaps, or water would seep through the roof sheathing and the nail holes.
- Take every precaution to avoid falling from the roof. While working on the roof drink a lot of water to escape heatstroke. To prevent slipping wear shoes with a sole made of rubber.
- Leave the same 1/8-inch overhang of shingles on the right side of the roof for the same reasons as in the tip #3. To cut off the shingles of needed proportions use a utility knife.
- Continue nailing roofing shingles until you reach the top of the roof.
- Install a ridge vent and over the vent attach ridge cap shingles.
Note that though those shingles are easy to install, it's always better to hire a professional roofer to prevent costly mistakes.
Why Composite Shingles?
The answer to that is quite simple – because architectural shingles are highly beneficial in all respects. To receive evidence that this statement is not baseless let's sum up all the advantages, including those mentioned above.
- They have a far better wind tear-off resistance than most of the other types of roofing due to their greater thickness and weight (around 480 pounds per 100 square feet).
- Because of the formula they are more durable and wearable, and may come with a lifetime guarantee.
- The fire resistance of architectural shingles is rated the highest class – Class A. That is provided by a thick layer of granulated top coat.
- Easy installation.
- They can also prevent algae growth when the granule coating is infused with copper or zinc. That would be of much help to those people whose houses are located in areas with high humidity or rainfalls.
- Besides, laminated roofing shingles give a three-dimensional look to your roof and are more pleasant-looking on the whole.
- There's a great choice of styles and patterns of this roofing material on the market.
- They require less maintenance than other shingle types.
- Even though this type of shingles is more expensive than others, its benefits are worth the price.
Considering all the facts, one can say without exaggeration that architectural roofing shingles are a major landmark in the history of roofing shingles.

Gigi Fernández, 2- time Olympic gold medalist in tennis and newest inductee into the international tennis hall of fame, is turning into a mompreneur! The female athlete of the century in Puerto Rico – who just returned from playing in French Open Legends tournament – is also mom of 16-month-old twins Karson and Madison. The busy mom-of-two opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about her athletic accomplishments and her new venture, Baby Goes Pro, DVDs that introduce young children to sports.
CBS: You are the the first female Puerto Rican athlete to turn professional and the first Puerto Rican woman to ever win an Olympic gold medal. Do you consider yourself a feminist?
GF: "I don't consider myself a feminist, though I do feel like I blazed a trail for other young Hispanic girls to follow."
CBS: You are mom to 16-month-old twins, Karson Xavier and Madison Jane. What was harder: going for the gold or being mom to twins?
GF: "Tough question to answer, but I think it's actually harder to win a Gold Medal that being a mom. I love being a mom and though challenging at times, the rewards are immense. Winning a Gold Medal took a lot of sacrifice and was a very pressure filled experience. Being a mom is not a sacrifice but a privilege and the only pressure I ever feel with them is to be sure their needs are met so they are happy and content."
CBS: What is your best advice to parents of twins? What are some tips that have saved your sanity?
GF: "My best advice is to get help…no matter who it's from. If you can't afford help, seek out a neighbor or a church/volunteer group. It's nearly impossible to care for them properly when the infants outnumber the adults.
The tip that saved my sanity was to get exercise first thing in the morning. I walked with them every single day from the time they were 6 weeks old. It helped me lose the extra pregnancy pounds, the exercise put me in a great frame of mind and they loved being outside and looking at the sights."
CBS: You have a BA and an MBA. Will you encourage your children to get a post secondary education?
GF: "Absolutely, I highly value the importance of being educated. My grandmother was the first female dentist in Puerto Rico. She graduated from U Penn in 1920 so I guess it's in my blood."
CBS: You have become a mompreneur. You are the founder of Baby Goes Pro, a new company that produces DVDs about introducing young children to sports. Tell us about the DVDs.
GF: "Baby Goes Pro has a mission to "inspire a generation to move." The first DVD was conceived because I wanted to make sure my kids got an early start into sports and there was nothing in the market introducing young children to sports.
It is important to me that my kids lead active lifestyles and assuming other parents have similar motivation, propelled us to produce the first DVD. We have an endearing 3D animated monkey and catchy sing a long music. All the sports moves are performed by professional athletes and high level college athletes in a repetitive manner.
Children can start learning the fundamentals of five sports, baseball, basketball, golf, tennis and soccer. According to famed sports psychologist Jim Loerhr Ph.D., "it's never too early to start developing athletic ability."
CBS: Where are they available?
GF: "The DVD's are available at Amazon.com, our website and other .coms. It will be available at all Target stores in January."
CBS: Tell us about the importance of physical education for young children.
GF: "It is very important for children to be active while young because we develop many lifetime habits early in our life. We feel that If you move while young, you will move for a lifetime. With the childhood obesity epidemic in the US, it is important that children find a balance between active play and computer and video gaming. Computers aren't going to go away and kids will be drawn to them, but what is important is that parents help them create a balance between the two activities early in their lives."
CBS: Do you also think proper nutrition is important for young children? What about the picky eaters?
GF: "Proper nutrition is important, but I feel that you can make up for bad nutrition with exercise. I always felt like I could eat all the ice cream I wanted, as long as the next day I spent extra minutes or hours exercising."
CBS: Do you teach tennis?
GF: "I still teach tennis, (when I find time) because tennis is my passion. I am currently offering Drills with Gigi to ladies tennis teams in the Orlando area."

Inside the Emmy Pre-Show with Mimi Torchin, Todd Newton, Tom O'Neil and the Dazzling Stars of Daytime!
by Linda Marshall-Smith
Who was with who? Who arrived first? Who arrived too late? Where were the majority of the ABC stars? Where did B&B get that red double-decker tour bus? (Who knows, but it sure made one heck of an entrance!) And the most important question: Where was the closest ladies room? (When you're working in the sun all day, drinking bottled water after bottled water, information like that is crucial to your well being. But I digress!) Imagine standing three feet from everyone who is anyone in Daytime television, and being the only official person with a 35 mm camera on the platform! What an experience! What an evening.
It began about 1 PM Friday afternoon, May 21, 1999. As I arrived on site at Madison Square Garden, fans were already gathering on either side of the Red Carpet. The E! Entertainment Pre-Show platform was being rigged just to the side of the main entrance to the Theater. For mid May, the weather was unseasonably warm, extremely sunny, and typically NYC humid. Black velvet was probably not the most sensible choice, but it was the only dressy dress I brought from LA. Mimi Torchin likewise wore velvet, and both of us suffered for it. It was, as Mimi remarked to first guest Heather Tom, "about 400 degrees in the shade!" "A beautiful 427 degrees Fahrenheit here in NYC," Todd Newton echoed later in the show, "and we are just warming up!"
The E! PreShow crew tested the satellite uplink, the sound relays, the microphones. The show would be fed back to LA via satellite, and broadcast from the WestCoast. It was shot live-to-tape, meaning what you saw on television is pretty much the way it happened, except it happened several hours before you saw it. The first stars were scheduled to arrive between 4:00 and 4:30 PM EDT. At 3:30, Mimi Torchin, Editor-in-Chief of Soap Opera Weekly Magazine, and Todd Newton, host extraordinaire for the E! Entertainment Network, were rehearsing for the camera as they were being equipped with microphones. Although the TelePrompTer was shaded by "showcard" (a thick black cardboard that has a myriad of uses on the set), the E! PreShow hosts were forced to face directly into the sun which made reading the TelePrompTer almost impossible. As this was the prime position for the platform to be, Mimi and Todd were troupers and dealt with the sun glare, although "squinting" was unavoidable.
The third host, Emmy expert and author of Variety's "The Emmy's," Tom O'Neil, was stationed among the fans to get their reaction. "Who are you rooting for?" he called out. "Lucci, Lucci, Lucci!" the fans screamed. "Lucci!"
Surprisingly, there were not that many fans. I expected hundreds. Thousands. Most of the people lining the Red Carpet were journalists and photographers. There were more commuters on their way to and from Penn Station, which occupies the lower levels of Madison Square Garden, than there were fans. One commuter asked: "What's going on here?" "The daytime Emmy's," I replied. She simply shrugged and descended the stairs to the Amtrak Terminal.
The PreShow platform was small at about 12' x 12'. Between the cameras and other equipment, the various technical personal, myself and the stage manager, there was barely any room for the hosts and their guests. To complicate matters, Todd Newton is a strapping 6'2" at least. Mimi Torchin is a petite 5'2" tops. In an effort to ameliorate the height discrepancies, Mimi was relegated to standing on an apple box, a small 1.5' X 2' area, which inhibited her mobility even further. As the stars began lining up to talk with Mimi and Todd, there was confusion as to mounting and leaving the platform. E! PreShow Executive Producer, Antonio Ruiz, escorted guests from the platform himself.
First guest Heather Tom set the fashion tone for the rest of the evening. The "look" for this year's Emmys was definitely off-the-shoulder or strapless. Mimi suggested that Heather was architecturally "in" her dress. "Oh, I'm not going anywhere," Heather replied.
Jess Walton was just happy to be here and not have to worry about presenting or winning. "I'm wearing a comfortable dress and I don't have to do anything."
Camryn Gimmes said to evoke tears in her emotional scenes, she thinks of her "Guardian Angel," Heather Martin, who died a year ago.
Melody Thomas Scott, who submitted Y&R to the Guinness Book of World Records as getting the most Emmy Nominations in one year, was pleased Y&R received that record number, but was happier about getting nominated herself for the first time in her 20-year run on the show.
Austin Peck's date was his mom, but he joined Sarah Buxton (Annie, Sunset Beach) to chat with Mimi and Todd. Many of the stars, including Cassandra Creech and Martha Byrne had to hug E! Stage Manager, Tom McNamara, an obvious favorite with the Daytime illuminaire, and Mimi suggested that she and Louise Sorel catch a movie sometime soon.
Suddenly, Susan Lucci was spotted on the Red Carpet. She made her way to Tom O'Neil who began an interview. Like I always say, technology is grand except when it doesn't work. For some strange reason, Tom's microphone went dead. There he was interviewing the star of the evening, and no one could hear anything. It took producers several minutes to cut back to Todd and Mimi, where Todd, in a streak of sheer brilliance uttered: "Well, I don't know about you, but I could hear what they were saying and it was great!" The production team did rectify the problem and we cut back to Tom and Susan, who was as gracious as ever as Tom said: "It looks like it's going to be between you and Kim Zimmer, " and Susan replied: "I'm sure Kim's work is wonderful!"
Back to the platform where Todd and Mimi interviewed Stuart Damon who is a jovial, happy-go-lucky man, and breaks into laughter at the slightest provocation. A far cry from the sometimes somber role he plays as Alan Quartermaine. Eric Braeden, on the other hand, is as staid and intense as his character, Victor Newman.
Adrienne Frantz threw her hat in the ring for a nomination next year, and the cast of Bold & Beautiful said they were having tons of fun driving around Manhattan in that red double decker bus.
From Jensen Ackles to Jerry ver Dorn, Kathleen Noone to Susan Lucci, Linda Dano to Jason George, Lezza Gibbons to Bob Barker, stars from all the daytime shows stopped by the E! platform to chat with Mimi and Todd. Donny Osmond took the show to commercial at one point. Everyone was having a great time, despite the humidity. Some stars either missed seeing us, or preferred not to be interviewed. Ingo Rademacher and Erika Slezak were among those I saw enter the Theater without stopping to say hello. Perhaps the line was too long? Perhaps they wanted to get out of the sun? Perhaps the E! talent wranglers (show staff who were on the red carpet directing the celebrities to the E! platform) just could not spot everyone in time. At one point, there were quite a few stars waiting to be interviewed. "They're lining up for blocks," Mimi remarked. It got to a point where E!'s producers had to "bunch" them together to move things along. Mimi and Todd were interviewing five or six cast members at once.
Before we knew it, the PreShow was over, but guests were still arriving. Robin Strasser, Rosie O'Donnell, and Vincent Izzarry were too late to get E! air time. Several stars, like Charles Keating, were interviewed by Mimi and Todd, but did not make it to air in lieu of the commercials that had to be inserted. Aside from the glitch with Tom O'Neil's microphone, everyone from E! was delighted with the way things went. Mimi, Todd and Tom said goodnight and went their separate ways as the crew wrapped out the equipment. I never saw Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos, Catherine Hickland, Michael E. Knight, David Canary, Peter Bergman, Marcy Walker, Erin Torpey, and many others primarily from the ABC lineup, who attended dinner elsewhere and arrived right before 9 PM, missing out on the Pre-Show activities which occurred between 4:30 - 6:30 PM.
For the fans who attended the Pre-Show, it was an event to be remembered. Some spent the entire afternoon in the hot sun, wearing shorts and sneakers. As the crew broke down the platform, many fans dashed home to change into more formal attire, as they likewise had tickets for the Emmy broadcast.
Inside the Garden, the stars were treated to cocktails until the Emmy Awards Dinner was served at 7 PM. By 9 PM they were seated and ready for the 26th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards show to begin.
PreShow Jitters!
In the June 15, 1999 issue of Soap Opera Weekly, Editor-in-Chief Mimi Torchin admits in her editorial how she really enjoys the opportunity to co-host the E! Daytime Emmy PreShow and chat with so many of her favorite people, although she stews about it internally for a month preceding the event. "It's pretty hard -- especially when you only do it once a year -- to not sound like an idiot when you're interviewing someone for 30 seconds," she writes. Pre-show jitters notwithstanding, Mimi was charming and delightful as an on-air personality. Daytime's celebrities were genuinely happy to see her.
In fact, E! PreShow Executive Producer Antonio Ruiz enjoys working with Mimi so much, he looks forward to it all year. "Mimi is essential to the show, " Ruiz says. "The stars all know her, and she knows everyone!" Ruiz continued: "For someone who doesn't do it regularly for a living, she is amazing. People who do it for a living could learn a few things from her." What most impresses Ruiz is the conversational tone in which Mimi conducts the interviews. "It's not like she is doing a question and answer, she is seeing friends and chatting with them, which makes it so much warmer for the audience at home. The stars are comfortable around her and that makes her indispensable."
Both Mimi and Todd kept the show interesting and lively. Not sure what was more enjoyable, seeing them in action, or viewing the tape of the show several days later. One thing's for sure. With Mimi and Todd on camera, the E! PreShow couldn't have been more entertaining. In the words of Linda Dano, "The (Daytime) Emmy's wouldn't be the Emmy's without you guys up here!"

i've been feeling nostalgic lately. maybe it's that matty has outgrown almost all his clothes in the last two months or that david is getting heavy to carry around. don't get me wrong, in many ways they are easier and more fun now, but is still miss though chubby cheeks, fuzzy hair and that yummy baby smell. mmmmm…
26 Comments
My youngest is 7months & Im desperate for another they are so yummy x
My twins babies are 18 months and look like little boys. I miss the sweet smell of new baby–
I keep coming back to this post Lisa, i love the shots of David as a babe – just so gorgeous!! just like my little Tae!!
Priscilla – you made me laugh out loud! I, too, am a mom of teenager boys and their towering height and facial hair sorta freaks me out! My oldest went to college this year and my youngest just turned 15. I am always wishing they were still young. It's weird. That never goes away.
But other things make it all worthwhile, like the unconditional love and my 18 year old answering the phone "Hi Mommy!" from his college dorm! My heart sings.
This makes my heart literally hurt. My kids are only 4 and 2 but I can tell it is going way too fast. Your pictures are so sweet by the way.
Just a random thought for you. I LOVE reading your blog and I LOVE your jewelry. I have a few favorites that I can wear everyday!! Today when I glanced at your blog I couldn't help but say out loud "Thank you God for choosing Lisa and her husband as parents for David and Matty!" Literally, I thanked God. When I saw the picture of your husband reading the Tickle Monster to your boys and how happy David looks – he is so lucky that God chose you as parents for him. My husband and I are blessed with two boys (ages 11 & 5) and we so long for another baby. We went through infertility treatments last fall and unfortunately were unsuccessful. We are hoping and praying that another blessing is in store, although we truely are blessed already. I do see through your blog how blessed your children are. You are certainly inspriring yourself!
Lisa, I am soooo there with you!! My kids are now 5 and 4 … with all the work and effort that has gone into our 4 year old, I really thought there was no way I could ever have another. But now … ackk … I miss the baby parts of them! The chunky legs, sweet little chubby cheeks … the little laughs, the "wobley" walking … the clothes! I even miss diapers! What is wrong with me! :o)))
It is so fun to see those pictures again. It's amazing how much they've both grown up-and so, so quickly. I love those two!
That picture of David on the top right, oh my goodness. What a little ball of sweetness.
Yes, I miss the baby smell! My little guy lost his a few months ago, well more than a few, and i MISS it. There is nothing else like it.
Oh, that smell on the tops of their warm little heads – it's like magic!! As always, thank you for sharing and for helping me to take a moment to remember…
They do grow up so fast…my babies are almost 7 (ack!) and 5 1/2. Yikes. I think I need to stop referring to them as babies.
oh, yeah, and my GRANDson made double-digits last year!!!
oh, boy, wait till they start shaving or growing dreds or a beard–*sob* I miss my baby boys too so much
My baby boy turned 16 today. He towers over me and grows facial hair. He doesn't know but I still have a box of his and his sisters baby clothes that I look at now and then. They were so small. 🙂
What cute pictures! Your boys look the same and different now! Thanks for sharing.
My youngest is 3 1/2 – I am as sad as can be that she is growing up! How I wish that time would slow down just a little! I'll be so sad when she utters her last little mispronunciation!
i love leslie's comment above, "The days are long, but the years are short"
that will make it on a scrapbook page or painting soon! what a perfect way to describe my job as a stay at home mommy!
They are gorgeous! Just think, now you got little helpers with boy stink 🙂
I miss the baby baby-ness of it all too. Now I just have two little helpers. With serious boy stink most days 😛
I've been feeling this way, too. My daughter is 13!! I want to keep the teenager, because she's an amazing young lady, but I also wish I could visit with her little self again. I miss those days!
I know….babies are just so sweet.
Your kid posts always touches my heart! They're so sweet!
I have had "baby fever" for the last couple of months now. I keep thinking it will go away, but it just keeps getting stronger. Thank goodness my 3 year old still likes to rock and cuddle! The days are long, but the years are short….
I am so there. my little man is now 19 months old and I just do not know where the time has gone…
I hear ya' loud and clear and have been feeling that way today, too! The first 2 people that called me this morning were both pregnant and had both just found out. Both due in October- when I had my last one. AND I put up a bunch of baby things today- like burb cloths and bassinette sheets. I have no idea what they were still doing in a closet, but it still made me sad to put them away. I've got to talk hubs into #3! Thanks for commisserating with me.
I know exactly how you feel…my youngest is 2yrs, and he is growing up WAY too fast! And nothing can replace that yummy smell…except for stinky little boys that love to be outside 🙂

A-League salaries targeted in review
The A-League salary cap should be reduced and the competition "must live and grow within its means", according to a federal government report into soccer released on Thursday.
The Smith Review of football also gives a tick to Australia's failed 2022 World Cup bid process, and recommends Football Federation Australia maintain overall control of the A-League.
But the report's key finding is that financial stability needs to be the key priority for both the FFA and A-League.
And the report's main recommendations to achieve it are reducing the $32 million a year spent on players' salaries, and ensuring cheaper stadium deals for clubs.
The report says players are currently paid around 40 per cent of income generated by the A-League, compared to approximately 20 per cent paid in the AFL, NRL and Super Rugby.
"Salaries have increased at an unsustainable rate, out of step with the income the product generates and at a time when the Australian dollar is extremely competitive in the international player recruitment market," the report by Australian Sports Commission chairman Warwick Smith says.
"At a minimum the salary cap must be frozen, but it would be appropriate to explore options to reduce the cap.
"Options to adjust or remove the minimum player payment which artificially inflates incomes must also be considered.
"Unless this happens, given the proportion that player costs represent in clubs' total cost base, A-League clubs will, in the absence of a considerable increase in their revenue streams, struggle to move to a position of sustainability or profitability for the foreseeable future."
Australia's $45 million World Cup bid was given the thumbs-up in the report, saying it was FIFA's flawed bid process rather than any quality concern with Australia's submission that undermined its chances of success.
In other key findings, the report recommended:
* The time was not right for A-League control to be fully separated from the FFA;
* No expansion of the A-League beyond 10 teams until the competition is financially strong, or a tangible financial benefit can be achieved by expansion;
* FFA head office must look at reducing its own costs; and
* An annual operating plan for the A-League should be developed in collaboration with club owners.

Burglars are thought to have scoped-out a target house three times before a £15,000 break-in.
A family told police of a series of unusual calls at their home in Redford Avenue, Coulsdon, in the five days before it was burgled on Wednesday, November 14.
A caller came to the house and asked for David and Matt and said he thought it was a friend's house, two days later another caller came to ask if they wanted some fireworks and on Tuesday, November 13, the day before the break-in, a third caller asked if the black Audi in the drive was for sale.
The house was burgled at around 4pm the following day. Cash, bank cards, passports and jewellery were stolen - the total value of the haul was £15,600.
PC Duncan Harris believes the callers may have been visiting the property to see if it was occupied.
He said: "If anyone calls at your home with enquiries that seem so odd or unusual that they make you suspicious, then close the door on them, make a note of their description and any vehicle registration number, and call police immediately on 999.
"Put simply, if it doesn't look right or feel right, then call police."
The callers were all white men. One was between 20 and 30-years-old and wore dark clothing and a beany hat, another was 24 to 25-years old, 6ft tall, wore a white shirt and dark trousers and spoke with a Welsh or Scottish accent and the third was about 30-years-old, about 5ft 5in tall and wore dark clothing with a baseball hat.
If you have information you can call Sutton's burglary and robbery investigation team on 0208 649 0777 or the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Ultra Diamonds
Horrible repairs
Complaint Rating:
Contact information:
ultra diamonds
United States
To Whom this may concern:
First I would like to state that I am a DCA certified jeweler and have been in the business for 5+ years. I briefly worked for Ultra Diamonds for a 2 month period and during that time I purchased an 18k yellow gold 1.5 ctw certified diamond mystere ring. Original price was $9599.00 and I paid $2400.00. When the decision was made to purchase the ring, I attempted for 3 weeks to get the store manager at the time to actually come to work to "ring the sale" as only managers were allowed to key-in an employee sale. This "manager" took it upon herself to delay keying the sale until she was finally ready to show up at the store, and the price had increased by $300 during these 3 weeks. I should have passed on it due to that alone but I really liked it so I proceeded with the sale anyway. That should have been my warning. My mistake.
I've had several small diamonds fall out but with the diamond guarantee they're to be replaced at no charge. When the first one fell out they replaced it with a diamond so cloudy and white it looked like frozen spit. It stood out terribly against my other stones which are clean and certified. I had them re-do it and when it came back from being repaired I saw the gold holding the diamond was scooped up and over the stone covering half of the diamond leaving sharp edges and a gouged area instead of re-tipping the prong securing the diamond. The ring was starting to look as if it had years of wear after only 3 months and the first repair because they buffed off a lot of the detailing on the ring. Which I've since repeatedly asked them to not do.
Please understand that I have no ulterior business motives to try steering business from their stores to mine. My store is actually in another city. I simply want my ring repaired properly, which is fair considering I paid a lot of money for it. My issue is strictly personal and only revolves around the horrible work their goldsmiths have done on my ring and the fact that no one up to and including the owner cares at all about their actions and my loss. I have a quote from a neutral independent goldsmith to restore my less than 2 year old ring to as close to original condition as he can get it. His cost to me- $600. He also stated the pricing he quoted was doing me a favor. He has stated it will be a very time consuming job and recommended I forget about fixing it and remove all the diamonds, use my gold mounting as scrap/trade and start fresh with him making a completely new ring. He stated they've destroyed it...and it will never be "right" but he will do the best he can.
This ring has been destroyed by their jeweler after needing to have it repaired and re-done 9 times. On their own website this ring is clearly described as having pristine milligrain detail. Yet, each and every time this ring was in need of repair for diamonds falling out, it came back with more and more of the detailing miligrain removed- buffed off even though all repair work orders clearly stated to not disturb the detailing-
Six weeks ago, another small channel diamond had fallen out, and once again I trusted them to take care of it. I actually asked them this time to restore the detailing that has been removed over the past 7 visits. The ring came back a few weeks later with a large dent on the side of the disc that holds all the center stones. I told them I wanted them to RE-DO the job and I'd give them "one last opportunity to make it right for me." The bezel should have been rhodium plated (it was not) and the milligrain detailing was completely removed and now resembles a bad diamond cut edging. I picked it up a few days ago after being gone for over a month and surprise!! Upon closer inspection, I could see one of the center diamonds was completely tilted and out of its prong, and the side diamond that was replaced was not secured. Both are ready to fall out. The worst part? The ring has been buffed and ground down to nothing around the edges and the rails where the channels are...and it is as bad as it's ever been. They did nothing to try fixing it and have only made it much much worse. How can they send back work to be re-done and it comes back in even worse shape is beyond my comprehension.
Perhaps if the prongs had been re-tipped each time a diamond fell out instead of trying to use the surrounding gold as a bead set these diamonds wouldn't continue falling out. I can only shake my head in disbelief at the thought of having a ring I waited 8 years to get from my boyfriend become a decoration on top of my dresser. If I took care of my customers like this we'd be out of business. You probably wonder why I kept taking it back to them? Well if I had to pay for the replacement diamonds and the work out of pocket the cost would have been over $200 each time. This is what the guarantee is suppose to cover. It's sad that I had to print an 8x10 color glossy photo of the ring and send it along with the RE-DO job the last time so their goldsmith could see what its actually suppose to look like...and still it comes back looking horrible.
My questions include: How many times does a person have to re-send a ring to a goldsmith to have it fixed properly? How can they be so utterly careless with a ring that they have a price tag on of almost $10, 000? If this is how they take care of their "fine jewelry" just imagine how well they'll take care of pieces valued at much less than that. Why is it that every repair has to be a RE-DO? Why not get it right the first time? What kind of flunky goldsmiths are they using? They have had 4 different goldsmiths work on it over the past 21 months and not one of them came close to doing a good job. I am not being overly picky either. Why should my ring have to be forever pitted, gouged and dented (unless I pay someone else to fix it) because they have unqualified people working on it? Why will they not stand behind their repair work and either make it right or replace the ring they destroyed? Why would the company say "you've had the ring a while now and I understand its dented, so we wont exchange it" ...when the reason it's ruined is their fault?? They said they could have another jeweler work on it. What a joke! I suppose if I wasn't being paid my commissions since last April my attitude might be sour too. The employees just don't care at all. I under no circumstances would allow them to touch any of my jewelry ever again. I simply was hoping for an exchange to replace the ring they damaged beyond reasonable repair and would have my own goldsmith size and solder. They won't even do that- oh and did I mention they're great at trying to make me look like I was wrong, that this was somehow all my fault.
I would NOT recommend ever buying anything from Ultra Diamonds. I would not EVER recommend having ANY type of repair work done by them. I would not EVER believe anything you hear from the staff at any of the stores. The customer service is terrible. I have been hearing more and more complaints from other jewelers in that city regarding the quality of merchandise sold and quality of repair work. They're giving the industry a bad name in general. Unfortunately, I know first hand.

This is a tasty full-medium roasted coffee with dried fruit, roasted nuts, and caramel notes. It has good body and retains a pleasant acidity.
This fall we are dedicating our fundraising efforts to purchasing a sample roaster for the Bukonzo Joint Cooperative in Uganda. $2 will be donated for every pound of their coffee roasted this season! The cooperative has been supported heavily in recent years by a celebrated development project with significant energy being put specifically into quality related investments such as milling, storage, transportation and quality assessment capacities. As a result of these investments we are seeing some extraordinary progress in consistency and tastiness of the coffee sold as "Owemba" lot – a local word for 'something outstanding'.
The funds we raise this fall will go to the purchase of a sample coffee roaster that will form part of a cupping lab for the coop. Our goal is USD 15,000. We have seen the impact that these tools have on a grower community. When growers have the ability to taste the difference that quality green coffee makes, they are motivated to find ways to improve their growing, harvesting, and processing methods. Better quality green receives a higher price which benefits the larger community.
Bukonzo Joint Cooperative is situated in the Rwenzori Mountains in western Uganda - this member-owned cooperative of 5,500 small farms is also 83% owned by women members! Joint was founded in 1999 to serve the poor, isolated farming communities in Bukonzo county, which, due to war, poverty, and location, has been marginalized in the past. The central focus of the cooperative's operations is offering sustainable financial and capacity building services to the economically disadvantaged.
Bukonzo Joint is committed to improving the living standards of the rural poor, and ensuring that they are active participants in the economic, social, and political development of Bukonzo county.Bukonzo Joint is headquartered in Kyarumba town, Kasese district. Its operations in Bukonzo county's sub-counties of Kyarumba, Kyondo, Kisinga, Lake Katwe, Maliba and Mahango, include marketing its farmers' organic coffee; micro-finance, such as providing agriculture and small business loans to members; and member training and skills development. In addition to its more than 5,500 farmers, Bukonzo Joint has a full-time staff of 29, over 140 part-time volunteers, and fourteen training officers.

Gilmore vows legal clarity as TDs stay split on issue
TANAISTE Eamon Gilmore has vowed the Government will take action to provide "legal certainty and legal clarity" on abortion in the wake of the Savita tragedy.
But the coalition is at odds over abortion with Labour TDs demanding legislation and Fine Gael TDs saying they will wait to see a report from an expert group.
One Labour source said there was a "growing impatience" with the tendency in the Government to delay taking action on such issues.
However, it is clear some Fine Gael TDs have softened their stance and are now willing to examine proposals to bring in guidelines on where terminations were allowed.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny told his party's TDs last night that he would be taking no action until the Government had considered the expert group report.
Mr Kenny said he expected to read the report either last night or today.
He ordered his TDs to stay quiet on the issue and keep their opinions to themselves until the report is published.
However, a number of Fine Gael TDs objected, including Catherine Byrne who said she would not be muzzled.
Health Minister James Reilly confirmed he had received the report this week.
But the Tanaiste told the Irish Independent that the Government was "going to deal with it" as he responded to the case of Savita Halappanavar.
"It's a heart-breaking case. I was very upset reading and hearing about it," he said.
"We need in this country to provide legal certainty, legal clarity for a situation where a woman is requesting a termination in circumstances like those.
"This issue has been with us for 20 years and this is the first government that has decided we are going to deal with it.
"We will need to give a response to the Council of Europe by the end of November, so I expect we will consider the ABC case report between now and the end of November," he added.
When asked if this meant bringing in legislation or regulation, he said the Government would see what the group recommends.
Some Fine Gael backbenchers said legislation for abortion was not needed, and one called for a referendum.
But the vast majority kicked to touch and said they would wait on for report from the Government's advisory group.
Cork East's Tom Barry said he thinks "we've a good enough system as it is".
Carlow-Kilkenny's John-Paul Phelan said Ms Halappanavar's death is tragic, "but as it stands in this country she should have been allowed a termination".
Mr Phelan said he believed Ms Halappanavar's case should have been covered by existing medical council guidelines.
Dublin South-East's Eoghan Murphy said the report should be published immediately "so we can have a proper debate".
The Taoiseach said Dr Reilly will read the report, reflect on it and bring it to Government.
But Mr Kenny did not give any details or any timeframe.
He only said the Government will be in contact with the European Court of Human Rights by November 30, but did not say when they will make a decision.

Johannesburg - The Worldwear Shopping Centre in Fairland was hit by eight armed robbers who stormed a clothing store around 10am on Thursday.
Police have not made any arrests regarding the recent spate of business robberies in Gauteng shopping malls.
It is believed the men threatened staff members at the Timberland store at gunpoint before removing clothing.
The thieves fled the scene in a white Toyota double-cab bakkie. No shots were fired.
On Tuesday, a Telkom store at the Eastgate Mall was robbed at gunpoint. The incident took place around 6pm.
The robbers demanded cellphones before fleeing.
On Thursday, a Soweto businesswoman told The Star that the spate of robberies hitting shopping malls in the province had made many of them fear for their lives.
The woman, who asked not to be identified for security reasons, owns four food outlets in several malls around Soweto.
Two of her shops were attacked by a robber who gained entry through the ceiling of the shop.
In both incidents, the robber landed up inside the cash office and used his cellphone to contact one or more accomplices waiting outside.
In the latest incident on Sunday, the woman's food outlet in Maponya Mall was hit shortly after 10pm.
Police spokeswoman Constable Thuli Ngwenya said the robber fled with R30 900 in cash. She said the man appeared to know exactly where to get the money.
In June, the woman's restaurant in Diepkloof was hit shortly after closing time. About R40 000 in cash was stolen from the cash office.
Diepkloof police spokeswoman Captain Phephi Matlou said they suspected the same robber was involved in these incidents because the same modus operandi was used to gain entry at both outlets.
Footage viewed by The Star of the Diepkloof robbery showed how the man gained entry to the shop.
The 35-minute footage shows the robber using his cellphone torch to search the office.
On several occasions he is seen making and receiving calls on his cellphone. It appears as if the calls direct him to where the money is.
The store owner said she suspected an inside job in both incidents.
"I can't point fingers, but if robbers know exactly where to get the money, then clearly someone is directing them."

The 4.0-liter inline-six is a very familiar engine to most Jeep owners. Chrysler has since moved on to a new powerplant for the JK Wrangler and Grand Cherokee in the Pentastar 3.6-liter V6, but for decades the straight six powered Jeep models such as the Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Wagoneer, Comanche and various version of the Wrangler. It is hailed as a bulletproof motor by many, and it still powers many Jeeps on the road and trails today.
Recently while working on a new project vehicle, a 1999 Grand Cherokee that well dive into here soon, we ran into a snag and were forced to remove the valve cover on our 4.0-liter motor. There are a number of reason Jeepers will need to do this, whether its maintenance, replacing a leaky valve gasket, or maybe something as silly as our reason.
While doing an oil change, we found our engine oil cap was stripped, and soon the idea of pulling off the front PCV valve was suggested. The said suggestor made a few tugs on the PCV elbow and part of the brittle plastic broke. While we got the stripped engine oil cap eventually off, the elbow proved to be much more difficult. Having perused a number of Jeep Forums, we realized this is a common issue for owners of the 4.0-liter engine. As we struggled to pry the remaining pieces of the elbow, the brittle plastic just wouldnt come free. We eventually broke it into multiple pieces and used a needle-nose plier to pull the pieces out of the valve cover opening. Sadly, one of the pieces got away. We fiddled around for it, were able to grab it, but then it slipped away and fell into a crevice in the valve cover. So, the next step was removing the valve cover.
So, as we said, there are a number of reasons a Jeep owner might need to remove the valve cover. Overall, its a fairly straightforward process, and since we had to do it we figured a clear-cut how-to would be beneficial to others who needed to do the same. Feel free to add any additional tips if youve performed the same action in the comment section below the story.

The 162nd Carnival of Education is up at Learn Me Good. I just made the submission deadline with yesterday's post about Oklahoma's worrisome HB 2211. It will be interesting to hear what teachers think about this one.
For obvious reasons, atheist bloggers tend to focus on Carnival of the Godless and the Humanist Symposium, but there are many excellent blog carnivals to consider that may help you expand your audience.

Hi and thanks for reading my post,
When scanning a large zip file of say 80gb when there is less than 15gb of free space on the c:\ drive. Does forefront client security decompress just part of the compressed file, scan it then delete what was decompressed so far and continue working through
the rest of the zipped contents?
Or, does it decompress till it runs out of disk space, error out and move on to scanning the rest of the files?
We have a server that was sending out alerts that it was running down to 2gb of free disk space everynight. But in the morning it would have 20gb of free space. Last night we found the culprit was Forefront. So this leads to my third question:
If Forefront is decompressing part of the file to work through it, can we adjust how much free space it will decompress to? Say adjust it from 2gb to 10 or more gb?
I forgot to mention. We are not seeing any errors in the logs nor in the Forefront Server Admin console when the large compressed scanning occurs.
Thanks in advance

The Federal government is pressing ahead with programs aimed to improve child rearing, community relationships and housing availability in disadvantaged indigenous communities.
In Darwin, the third two-day "We Grow Them Up Learning Festival", on indigenous and non-indigenous approaches to rearing children, was held early this month in the new convention centre.
The Darwin learning festival was funded by the Federal Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, at the instance of Anglicare NT's Communities for Children East Arnhem. Attendees included representatives from remote communities across East Arnhem Land and Howard Bath, the Northern Territory Children's Commissioner.
The objective of "sharing knowledge and learning from each other" saw exchanges of ideas and experience from a wide range of community groups, and individuals and teams working in remote communities.
There were around 30 workshops and sessions sitting around a "Yarning Mat" to compare different experiences and influences of various communities, including diet and nutrition, how to develop and maintain child friendly communities, and the role of men in child rearing in remote communities.
"Essentially it's about 'growing our children strong,' sharing our experiences and learning from each other while reinforcing that sound early childhood development practices are the foundation of leadership skills and self confidence," said Ian Fisher, chief executive of Anglicare NT. "The festival was tremendously successful and builds on the knowledge developed and refined over the past three years.
"This was the first time we have used the convention centre as our home for the two days and the feedback from participants about the venue and staff was overwhelmingly positive and contributed hugely to its success," Mr Fisher added.
Malu Barrios, general manager of the Darwin Convention Centre said "the centre was particularly privileged to be selected to host the event for the first time."
From July this year, the Australian government will invest $42 million over three years for the re-named Indigenous Community Links program, currently known as Community Support Service. This is designed as a network of 84 service sites for over 140 communities nationally, in urban and regional areas.
It has 62 service providers managing a culturally acceptable and readily accessible place for indigenous people to get information and referrals for a range of services, indigenous and mainstream.
In Vancouver, Canada on June 13, Australia's Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, Jenny Macklin, outlined restructuring of indigenous housing for Australia. She was speaking at the World Indigenous Housing Conference on "Building Homes That Last".
Also attending was Tariana Turia, Associate Minister for Housing from New Zealand.
Critiquing what she described as failed housing policies for indigenous people, Ms Macklin said: "Governments of the past had walked away rather than face up to the challenges of communally owned land, with government owned housing on it. Responsibility for basic maintenance, essential amenities, was hopelessly unclear.
"Houses had been constructed in an ad hoc fashion, and without real input from the communities they were built for. The population was increasing as housing stock declined.
"In the town of Wadeye, south west of Darwin, with a population of 2500, around 80 babies are born each year. But houses were falling down faster than they were being built.
"Most houses in remote communities had at best a seven year life span, while social housing in urban and regional Australia usually lasts at least 30 years. Chronic overcrowding meant that as many as 17 people would be living in one house."
A new housing agreement with all State and Territory governments in 2008 aimed to reduce severe overcrowding in remote indigenous communities, increase supply of new houses, improve the condition of existing housing and ensure rental houses were well maintained and managed.
"We have committed $5.5 billion over ten years to secure these goals," Ms Macklin said. "We insisted on building regulations for all buildings constructed through the program – which had never applied in remote communities before.
"All buildings funded through the agreement must be designed and delivered in line with the requirements of the National Indigenous Housing Guide, the National Construction Code and all Australian standards and construction legislation."

At Catalyst Dallas, Jud Wilhite of Central Christian Church (Henderson, NV) discussed the roller coaster of ministry and leadership.
Maybe things are going great for your ministry and then a team member has a moral failing. Maybe the offering report tanks.
And then you start thinking…
Maybe I'm messing up.
Maybe I'm not hearing God's voice.
How do we stay grounded in the ups and downs of ministry?
In 2 Corinthians 5, Paul says God knows when we are sincere. So don't focus on creating a ministry worth bragging about. Focus on having a faithful and sincere heart. You may seem crazy, but it brings glory to God. Let Christ's love control you.
We are not called to a spectacular ministry but to a faithful ministry. When you ground your identity in a spectacular ministry, then you are setting yourself up for a roller coaster of ups and downs.
3 Ways to Stay Grounded via 2 Corinthians 5
- Do a gut check: are you being faithful and sincere?
- Stay a little crazy for God.
Ministry is about walking into a mess. Sometimes it is your mess. Sometimes it is someone else's mess. Ministry is messy because sin is messy. But your crazy for God is different from my crazy for God. Figure out how you need to be crazy.
- Be compelled by Christ's love.
Special thanks to Skylark Audio Video for covering my travel expenses so that I can live blog the conference for you.

No surprises on Pasco board
The Pasco School Board has named Kathryn Starkey (left), vice chair for the past year, as its new chairwoman and Frank Parker (right) its new vice chair.
Outgoing chair Marge Whaley nominated Starkey. When the vote came, Starkey smiled and asked whether it was OK for her to vote. Told yes, she said, "Aye. Just to make it unanimous."
Superintendent Heather Fiorentino thanked Whaley, who is retiring next year, for her time leading the board. "My privilege to serve as chair, and my relief not to be chair," Whaley responded.

its insanely untrue that most Ys fans consider Oath the best BTW. honestly its a really mixed consenus of Origin 7 and Oath. a lot of people consider Origin to be kinda just a better game overall then Oath and usually recemend playing oath before Origin for that reason. Oath gives a very different feel then origin though considering Oath you actually travel around a land where as in Origin your climbing a huge tower (which is actaully way more fun then i thought it would be).
Ark is considered ass on PSP decent on PS2 and really good on PC. Ys1 is considered alright while Ys2 is freaking crazy fun.

Sort of, but that's because it's the only noteworthy release that I know of right now that I want to get. Oh, and getting a game for the Vita is special for me because I'm a bit picky xD So when I heard it was an Action JRPG, that alone perked up a lot of my interest.
I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition but I'll try out Y's Seven first. If I like it, I'll keep it. If I don't, I can just canel it.
Yeah, I know. It sounds completely dumb, but I've had my share of good games because I just bought them out of a whim.

Well he/she did say most veterans, which I think is true. Mainly because I've seen a lot of old time fans hating on the team system.
On a side note, I find Oath easier than VII, mainly because those spell rings were pretty cheap. Especially the earth one, which straight up makes you invincible for a second. Saved my ass a ridiculous amount of times. Now that I think about it, I still need to do Nightmare mode in VII...

darkdragongirl posted...I purchased 2 copies of the Silver edition so I can sell them on eBay at a higher rate, and then preordered a regular edition for myself.
I'd have to disagree. Anyone interested in this game honestly knows how it goes---if you don't pre order this type of game, you will likely not get one (Special editions of course, specifically in this case). If they [somehow] are a fan of this genre/series and did NOT hear about this game, and/or pre order it by release, it's not like they would have picked one up anyways. If this guy didn't buy two to resell, some other people would have picked it up.
Heck I'd go as far to say that, pretending EVERYONE who bought one to keep and play, even then, the fans late to the game still wouldn't have one, since by then they'd be all sold out. Besides, like the person said later, if the consumers are willing to pay higher than retail that is there prerogative, obviously it's worth it to them.
(P.S. Yes of course before you ask, I purchase many items in gaming to in turn resell for profit, AND I've been on the other side and purchased items, most recently a Comic Con Heroclix exclusive, and paid double what it's retail was because I was late to the game. It was worth it to me, and I didn't sit there thinking the seller was a horrible person for doing so.)
TL;DR: No one is forcing anyone to buy anything above the retail, but if they choose so I hardly see how it's a behavior you would not condone.

Mountain Bike National Championships roll into Granby Ranch
July 13, 2010
The USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships, hosted by Granby Ranch, rolls today, July 14, and continues through July 18.The race brings together the best competitive athletes in cross-country, downhill, Super D, 4-cross and short track. Races will feature more than 2,000 national-caliber mountain bikers, competing at the SolVista Bike Park. Some 5,000-7,000 spectators are expected to attend. Viewing areas will be set up around the course, including at the site of the 4-cross races, which are some of the most exciting competitions from a spectator's standpoint.Taking place under the lights Saturday, July 17, 4-cross is similar to the boardercross snowboard event. Four bikes line up and duke it out, simply trying to be the first to get down the hill.During the junior class downhill races, SolVista Bike Park Manager Matt Thompson said to watch for up and coming local athletes Kellen Lutz, 14, and Sawyer Cousineau, 12. In the adult classes, keep an eye out for professional rider Aaron Gwin of Morongo Valley, Calif., who is sponsored by Yeti Cycle cycles of Golden, Thompson said. Gwin broke into the international World Cup scene after only 8 months of riding downhill and since 2008 has stood on three World Cup podiums. Luke Strobel (Issaquah, Wash.), Duncan Riffle (Santa Barbara, Calif.) Mitch Ropelato (Ogden, Utah) and Joey Schusler (Boulder) are expected to lead the men's field in the gravity events, while the women's contests will see some strong rides from racers like world championship medalists Melissa Buhl (Chandler, Ariz.), Jill Kintner (Seattle, Wash.) and Kathy Pruitt (Santa Cruz, Calif.).Several viewing platforms will be set up to watch the downhill races. Spectators at the base will also be able to catch the last 30 seconds of action, Thomspon said. Most of the events, in fact, will be visible from the balcony at the base area. "We built these tracks for the nationals," Thompson said. "It's important for us if we're going to showcase Granby Ranch to make it fun to watch."The cross-country races should also be easy for spectators to watch, Thompson said. The course will create a clover-leaf pattern centering on the SolVista base area. Fraser Valley resident Keith Sanders, the returning national champion in his age group, will be one to watch, Thompson added.Husband and wife pro-duo, Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski and Heather Irmiger, both of Boulder, will look to defend their cross-country titles from last year.Other professional endurance specialists to be on the lookout for over the weekend include Adam Craig (Bend, Ore.), Todd Wells (Durango), Ryan Trebon (Bend) and Sam Schultz (Missoula, Mont.) who recently scored his first national-level win. In the women's contest, Irmiger can expect some tough competition from riders like Georgia Gould (Fort Collins), Lea Davison (Jericho, Vt.), Willow Koerber (Asheville, N.C.) and Mary McConneloug (Chilmark, Mass.).All events are free to the spectators. – Reid Armstrong can be reached at 970-887-3334 ext. 19610 or email@example.com.
