Since the early days of auto racing, one question has been argued up the straightaways and down the backstretches.
Ford or Chevrolet?
Aficionados of both makes have argued — and even fought — over which was best, whether on the asphalt of NASCAR or on small dirt tracks around the country.
Fans can have their say, as loudly as they'd like, tonight at Beckley Motorsports Park during the Ford vs. Chevy Street Stocks feature race.
"We're putting some extra money toward those guys," track manager Joe Jackson said. "We've had some big shows with the other cars. Now it's their turn."
The other classes — Late Models, AMRA Modifieds, Crates, Outlaw Streets and Hornets — will also run tonight. The spotlight, however, is on Street Stocks.
"We've got a decent field, and we're hoping to entice some guys who haven't raced here to come out," Jackson said. "Maybe get some guys from Gilbert and Princeton."
The class has a good points battle going on. Rainelle's Matt Schoolcraft is the leader with 456 points. Bradley and Robert Richardson , both from Alderson, follow at 426 and 424 points, respectively.
Last Friday, Tyler Blankenship from Hanover took the checkered flag at BMP. He's currently in sixth place with 318 points. Robert Richardson was runner-up, followed by Schoolcraft, Greg Pierce from Sullivan and Bradley Richardson.
It was questionable whether any races would be held, due to thunderstorms surrounding the area.
Little rain fell, fortunately, and all the races, including the visiting Winged Sprints, were completed.
"A lot of the crowd and drivers waited in the parking lot," Jackson said. "We started at 8:30 p.m. instead of the normal 7. It didn't look like we would get it in, but through the work of my staff, they got the track ready.
"We stuck it out, and everybody got to see a great show."
The sole in-state competitor to finish in the Top 10, Wayne McPeek from Mineral Wells, was the Sprints winner. Josh Davis, from Chillicothe, Ohio, and Eric Riggins, from Charlotte, N.C., were second and third.
Jackson said the Sprint drivers enjoyed running on the 3/8th-mile, high-banked oval.
"They loved the track and the fans that were there. Everyone I spoke to was very happy," he said. "I think they would be excited to come back, and we would love to get them. I've spoken to their promoter and he's trying to wiggle me in, but nothing is rock solid yet."
Wayne Hughes of Beaver (Late Models), Kenny Compton from Bland, Va., (AMRA Modifieds) and Oak Hill's Eddie Hambrick (Crates) were the other winners Friday.
The AMRA Modifieds points battle is the track's closest, with Keith Bills of Kincade holding a 10-point lead over Beckley's Michael Moore, 428 to 418. Mike Duncan of Beckley isn't far behind at 410.
Jackson expects the track to be in excellent shape tonight.
"We graded and watered it Monday, and we put some dirt back we had to skim off to make it driveable last week," he said. "It should be a really fast track.
Gates will open at 4 p.m., with racing to begin at 7 p.m. General admission is $12. Kids ages 6-10 will pay $6, while those 5 and under get in free. Pit passes are $25.

|Otsego High School's Class of 1963 celebrates 50th anniversary
|Written by Sentinel-Tribune Staff
|Friday, 11 October 2013 09:59
The Otsego High School Class of 1963 celebrated its 50th anniversary during a Sept. 13-15 weekend reunion.
The class of 52 members received diplomas on May 23, 1963 in University Hall on the Bowling Green State University campus.
A committee of seven began meeting in August 2013, and monthly thereafter, to put together this reunion.
The initial gathering was Friday evening at Porky's Pizza prior to attending the Otsego football game, a home game which Otsego won in overtime against Bowling Green High School. The class was given special recognition during the game.
On Saturday morning the group toured the present Otsego buildings. Superintendent Adam Koch and his son Landon led the tour.
The 50-year graduates found the new facility very impressive.
A banquet was held that evening at Nazareth Hall, highlighted by camaraderie, laughter and memories. Master of Ceremonies Tom German opened the dinner with prayer and quiet time in memory of the six deceased class members. It was followed by recognition of all the military members present.
Entertainment was provided by the Hot Flashes, who brought the music of the class's own era to life in song and dance.
Class members attending the events were: Bob Ackerman, Jim Bernthisel, John Brooks, Joanne Cook Guida, Becky Cox Chamberlin, Gloris Creps Castles, Dale Current, Jeannie Current Zvanovec, Marie Fausnaugh Dean, David Digby.
Greg Dauster, German, Dorothy Hurm Haas, Judy Kellermeier Robinson, Beverly Knapp Roberts, Doug Lee. Sharon Lahman Limes, Chuck Limes, Rollie Limes, Roger Long, Carol Mawer Poe, Bill Morlock, John Patterson, Bob Potter.
Stanna Richards Golbinec, Mary Jane Seketa Bressler, Betty Tolles Gordon, Merry Whitmer Pomeroy and Gillian "Jill" Wentz Witham. Also attending were 23 spouses.
The class was joined by two former teachers: Delores Black, physical education, and Bernard Scott, vocational agriculture, and his wife Jean.
The majority of the class thought it important to acknowledge their age by meeting two years from now, in 2015, to jointly celebrate their 70th birthdays.

The Breezway Altair Powerlouvre Window System, which we covered in SmartHouse earlier this year, has now been awarded Most Innovative Window System by the Australian Window Association.
Breezway's automated window system enables the opening and closing of louvres with a switch, perfect for hard to reach windows. It can also be incorporated into a more complex home control system.
The AWA is the national industry body for over 380 members, representing the interests of 90 percent of Australia's window production. Members include manufacturers, fabricators and resellers as well as suppliers and installers to the window industry.
AWA Executive Director Ian Frame said, "The AWA congratulates Breezway for its ground-breaking innovation. The increased popularity of this year's Awards is indicative of the exciting growth of new product designs, of which the Altair Powerlouvre Window System was a leader. Australian window manufacturers and suppliers like Breezway have responded cleverly to current consumer demand for simplicity, energy efficiency, sound reduction and improved security."

MONTEZUMA - A Montezuma man who promised hundreds of people tax credits for being descendants of slaves is barred from preparing tax returns. Willie Henry Haugabook admits to promising slave reparations to 384 people. All together, Haugabook promised $18 million he knew the IRS would never pay.
Montezuma police say there will be no local charges against Haugabook, but a similar investigation continues into Morris James, another Montezuma man who promised slave reparations.

Graduate Switches Computer Bytes For Tasty Bites
15 July 2011
Derby's newest cake shop will open on Monday,18 July, in Westfield Derby - and it's giving shoppers the chance to order a cake like that of Royal couple Kate and William.
Cameo Cupcakes in Westfield's Theatre Walk is a business venture by David Hollinshead and his wife Michelle, both from Spondon, Derby.
David said: "We chose to replicate the Royal Wedding cake as something eye catching for the shop window for our opening.
"We have a mock-up of the Royal couple's actual cake and we hope we'll be getting plenty of orders from couples wanting our take on that cake for their wedding day."
Cameo Cupcakes employs six members of staff, selling a range of homemade cupcakes and brownies, supplying Derby cafes and corporate clients.
The cake business was a complete change of career for David Hollinshead, 42, who graduated in 1989 from Derbyshire College of Higher Education (which became the University of Derby) with an HND in Computer Studies, and enjoyed a successful career as a computer software consultant.
David and Michelle were living and working in Sydney, Australia, where cupcakes are incredibly popular, when a change in circumstances meant the couple moved back to the UK. They decided a cupcake shop was exactly what the people of Derby were missing.
They were proved right, as after the success of web business www.cameocupcakes.co.uk and a unit on Derby's Eagle Market, Cameo Cupcakes has had to expand into its new larger premises to satisfy a growing number of customers.
Laura Ratcliffe, Alumni Relations Officer at the University of Derby added: "It's great to hear about David's new business and to welcome him and Michelle back to Derby. We wish them every success with Cameo Cupcakes."
Find out more about Cameo Cupcakes range of products and services at website www.cameocupcakes.co.uk

Volunteer Orientation Handbook
The Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting
In addition to the resources created for leadership journeys, the girl's book and the adult guide, girls at every grade-level have a Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting. Through fun activities, girls can earn a variety of badges to build the skills and gain the confidence they will use to change the world. They can even develop and complete activities to make their own badge—a great way to explore a topic of personal interest. In addition, girls who make their own badge will learn how to learn, which is an important skill to have in school, on the job, and in life!National Proficiency Badges are grouped in following categories: Legacy, Financial Literacy, Cookie Business, Skill-Building, and Make Your Own. (Daisies Petals, as well as four Leaves.)
The Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting is designed to complement the journeys at each grade level. This means that each Skill-Building Badge Set (there are currently three; each is sold separately from the Girl's Guide) is tied to one of the three journeys. You will find that doing a journey and the related badge set at the same time will make it easy to offer the entire National Program Portfolio—journeys and badges—in a seamless way.

Breakfast Spots near Disneyland?
Go a few miles north of Disneyland to Original House of Pancakes on Lincoln Ave. not far from the I-5 Frwy. Its a little pricier than most of the touristy restaurants near Harbor/Katella but this popular place always receives rave reviews (the Apple-Cinnamon pancake is legendary!).
Thank you for all these replies yet can somebody make a suggestion say 25 miles before or after Disneyland? I should of brought this up initially. It doesn't have to be right in the center of Disneyland just we're driving from the Valley 818 to San Diego and the middle grounds is Disneyland and we're after a really tasty filling breakfast?
Thanks again,
Thank you Das Ubergeek, yet my only concern is for it to be only a couple miles off the 5 freeway, the trip got postponed till next week and we're leaving from Sherman Oaks to San Diego at 9am and are going to want a nice breakfast around 10:30-11am, just after american food vs. Jagerhaus?
Bring on the suggestions?
I've got a great one for you! It's called Omelette House, and is in Garden Grove. Here's where to find it:
Omelette House
12444 Brookhurst St
Garden Grove, CA 92840-4712
(714) 537-5336
and here's a link to some reviews on CitySearch:
Thank you, you just saved me from getting off our route? The trip is this Saturday, again, any suggestions for a great breakfast right off the 5 fwy, it could be 25 miles past disneyland or before since thats our rest spot coming from the Valley? As long as its a breakfast spot thats a hop skip & a jump exiting the 5 freeway?
re: Hypnotic23
I usually eat breakfast at Angelo's, which is on Euclid between Lincoln and La Palma (near the IHOP), but it occurred to me that you could probably get beignets and coffee at Brennan's Jazz Cafe in Downtown Disney (they open at 0800) -- not sure how big of a breakfast you want.
Arthur's Restaurant
240 N Tustin St
Mon-Sat 6AM-2PM
Sun 7AM-3PM
just west of the 55 fwy, just north of Chapman Ave exit. It's about 5 miles east of Disneyland.
The food is described as Okie-styled, which I'm not exactly sure what that means. Inspired from Oklahoma? Can't find a website to point you towards a menu, though.
When I went before an Angels baseball game, I had a large breakfast platter that included scrambled eggs, hash browns, 3 types of sausages, bacon AND ham, and some muffins. I was so stuffed that I skipped lunch and ate a pretty small dinner that evening.
I hope you didn't go yet...YOU MUST GO TO the "Original Pancake House" in Anaheim off Lincoln. Address: 1418 E Lincoln Ave, Anaheim, CA, (714) 535-9815. Trust me, I'm not a huge breakfast person, but I'm addicted to this place. Definitely worth checking out. They have awesome potato pancakes, banana pancakes, blueberry pancakes are to die for and they have these crepes filled with sourcream and covered in a grand marnier/orange sauce that is simply amazing. They also have an excellent cornbeef hash. This place only opens for breakfast and closes at 2:00 p.m., so you know it has to be good!
I will go there, guess what though! On their website front page:
first glance at those apple pancakes brought back memories to my favorite spot ever in MN. then I clicked locations and its the same spot.
This will bring back memories so so good and filling too.
Everybody must try this spot for breakfast.

What could be more sensual and exhilarating than kissing or being kissed?
A passionate kiss has its own charm; often it is more intimate than sex; it is soulful and touches the heart straight.
When you are completely engaged with another person's face, your bodies and minds connect with each other; it is much beyond just a physical act. Kisses make moments, moments that becomes memories.
Well, not all of us good kissers. Even the sassiest among us may screw up when it comes to tongue tango skills. Here are some tips for putting the spark into your kisses. This may surprise you but one thing's for sure - it will make you a better kisser!
The magic touch
What makes kissing so powerful is the intimacy of the physical contact. Kissing is a very passionate form of touching. Your kiss should express the warmth and desire you feel about your partner.
Sensuous bite
If you feel like biting your partner's lips, go ahead. Softly biting the lower lip is usually rewarded. Gently sucking on the top or lower lip for a couple of seconds is not bad either.
Start and Pause
The anticipation of a kiss is usually more intense than the actual act. The restlessness that sets in can be a big sex-drive booster. So, the bottom line is, don't rush to get it over with; lean in slowly and before you're lip-to-lip, pause to take in the sensations. Feel each others' breath, smell your partner, and feel your cheeks brush up against his. Pausing at this moment is like playful teasing that can act as a glimpse of the fun that kissing can be.
Tongue tango
Start by using your tongue when kissing other parts of your partner's body. Gently roll your tongue over your partner's arm or neck or shoulder, and with your lips against his skin, let your tongue briefly touch their skin; don't lick, that's a thumb rule.
When you are lip-locked, keep your mouth slightly open. Let the tongue add the extra warmth in your kiss. Slowly roll your tongue on the upper and lower lips of your partner, moving into the mouth gradually.
Let the wind blow
Gently blow in your partner's ear between kisses to increase excitement. Let the wind tickle the senses and arouse the sensuality of your partner.

Buzz Building for Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer in 2016
Montana Democratic governor also belittles Tea Party.
Speakers at Democratic national conventions have a way of making it to the White House. Consider Barack Obama, whose 2004 keynote address thrilled the party faithful and Bill Clinton, whose 1988 speech nominating Mike Dukakis bored the gathering.
Another Democrat with convention experience is looking at a similar path. Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer brought down the house in 2008, and there's lots of buzz he would be a natural presidential candidate in 2016.
He's acting coy about a bid, but he wasn't shy about rapping President Obama's Afghanistan policy or taking shots at the Tea Party when we rang him up.
[See photos of U.S. troops in Afghanistan.]
On Obama's policies in Afghanistan, where a helicopter was shot down over the weekend, killing 30 American special forces, he told our Suzi Parker that it's time to get out. "You can't find anyone in D.C. that can answer why we are there," he said. The governor said that he echoes the sentiment of a 114-year-old Montana man he has become friends with who says, "They [Afghanistan] got nothing. No oil, no gold."
He also criticized the administration's Iran policies. "We have committed a vacuum for Iran to cause mischief," he said.
During a trip to the Middle East last fall, he said that Israeli leaders made the same argument. "They said the greatest threat was Iran," he said. "We created that monster. We wouldn't have the problems today if we hadn't gone into those wars," said Schweitzer, first elected in 2004 and reelected in 2008. He currently is one of the nation's most popular governors.
A Western leader in the Democratic Party, Schweitzer also blasted away at the Tea Party which has a strong presence in his state. He said congressional leaders acted like school children in the recent debt ceiling drama. "It's like this. There's a third grade teacher. There's eight new kids and they bring in 20 more. They all announce they aren't going to lunch. They stomp their feet and hold their breath. But they've been having lunch forever. In the end, what happens? They go to lunch. We knew how this was going to end."
[See political cartoons on the Tea Party.]
Buzz about his potential 2016 presidential candidacy started last month when he spoke to the Arkansas Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, where other early hopefuls have stopped.
One attendee says Schweitzer has what it takes. "When considering a presidential candidate, voters want someone who they can relate to, someone like me, as well as gravitas—someone they can see on the world stage," says Jay Barth, a political science professor at Hendrix College in Conway, Ark. "Often these are somewhat mutually exclusive. Schweitzer clearly has the former."
Schweitzer has been in demand since he spoke at the Democratic National Convention in 2008. And he's already hit popular primary spots like New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina, and Florida.
Asked about 2016, he aw-shucks, "I'm a little-known governor of small rural state and I don't about any of that business."
But so was Bill Clinton, right? "He's one of a kind," Schweitzer says.
Some party officials expect him to make another address at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. next year. "It kind of worked out for me last time," he said, noting he isn't even sure he is going to the convention. "There may not be much space for me."
As for speeches, he doesn't write them down. He simply tells stories. "Politicians have these written comments to elicit an applause every three minutes," he said. "I don't want applause I have a story to tell. I'm trying to get to a point."

It has not been a happy 2013 for Moondance Restaurant & Lounge in Suwanee. Already, the restaurant has said it is "closed until further notice."
In a Facebook posting dated January 3, Moondance said it is "diligently seeking financial investors to keep Moondance open ..."
The restaurant, which opened on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in late 2011, had begun offering membership packages recently as a means of staying in business. The packages sold for as much as $5,000. Also, Moondance had reduced operating days to Thursday-Sunday for 2013.
It's New Year's events were sold out. It offered various forms of live entertainment and fine dining.
"Thanks to all of you who have contacted us so far. Keep your ideas and contacts coming. We truly value being a part of so many of your special moments and hope to be able to continue to do so in the near future," the posting continued.
The closure, even if temporary, adds to a growing casualty list for independently operated Suwanee restaurants. Olde Towne Tavern & Grille closed December 20 in a bankruptcy proceeding. Also, Cafe Gourmandises on PIB has closed.
And recently, Diggers on PIB closed and reopened as part of the Buffalo's Cafe chain, under the same ownership. Benefits of being part of a chain were cited as crucial to the decision.

When I began this blog, I promised I'd do original reporting rather than simply refer to other web sites. BUT the email I got this morning from Moment magazine, which reflects Jewish opinion, was too tempting to pass up. In this issue, several Jewish leaders of varying disciplines assess the morality of Bernie Madoff, the Jewish financier who made off with some $50 billion of investors' - many of them Jews - money.
According to this piece, these Jewish leaders definitely condemn the man, but say his actions do not reflect on American Judaism as a whole. Rabbi Julie Schonfeld makes a particularly interesting comment: that what was so offensive about the Madoff schemes is that the financier used Jewish community networks to build his empire.
"Greed and deceit are not Jewish issues," says Jonathan Cohen of Hebrew Union College in Cincinnatti, adding it's unfair to let the actions of one wrongdoer reflect on other Jews. What I found missing in this collection of about a dozen opinions was any sentiment that what Madoff did is something other Jewish financiers are fully capable of doing. Is there something in Madoff's faith - or lack thereof - that didn't put the reins on his behavior? That's the question I was looking to be answered.
Well Mr. Madoff, who engineered one of the largest investment scams in U.S. history, is back in the news today with his guilty plea and possible life-long prison sentence. Here is a Moment sidebar on the financier. The interviewee asks why Madoff's religion has been brought up in this whole mess whereas that of other scandal-plagued politicians has not. Simple answer: Cecause Madoff went after mainly Jews. Folks like disgraced Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich didn't go after his fellow Serbo-Croatians.

Practice Ethics for Grief Counseling:
I believe in the power of civic love and compassionate relationships to heal the most wounded.
I believe in the capacity for all human beings to be transformed by loss.
I believe that beauty exists with the pain.
I believe we do not have to relinquish our Beloved Dead in order to heal from grief. Rather, we integrate our losses in whatever way feels most authentic for us.
I believe that grief is a normal response to the death of a loved one thus I do not work with or treat mental illnesses or disorders. Rather, my practice area is solely focused on traumatic bereavement.
I believe that which cannot be measured can be the most potent healer. I use mindfulness and meditation, ecotherapy (such as wilderness, nature, barefoot hiking), music, art, poetry, metaphor, philosophy, bibliotherapy (books), sangha (community), and many non-traditional healing modalities.
Should you wish to contact the MISS Foundation to schedule a grief counseling appointment, please email us. Should you wish to contact Dr. Cacciatore to inquire about an intensive session, please contact her directly.
In the spirit of compassion, we follow the practice guidelines of the MISS Foundation as delineated:

Were you in the parade?
3:31pm Thursday 19th April 2012 in Memory Lane By Ian Dewhirst
These schoolboy Roman soldiers are thought to have formed part of a procession of historical tableaux with which Keighley celebrated the Coronation of King George VI in 1937.
However, as they were not listed at the time among the subjects represented – the Crusades, the King and the Barons, the founding of the Navy and so forth – we would appreciate verification from any now elderly gentlemen who may recognise themselves.
They were photographed outside Lund Park before the procession started, and included several girls.
Other Coronation festivities were teas for the older folk, a beacon at Hainworth Shaw, an illuminated municipal hall and a firework display.
The chamber of trade sponsored a shop-window competition, and local schoolchildren were presented with 4,500 souvenir mugs and 1,000 commemorative silver spoons.
The photograph has been supplied by Mr Graham Staines, of Little Lane, East Morton.

Big banks kept independent directors in the dark, claims former Lloyds and Barclays executive
By Lisa Buckingham, Financial Mail On Sunday
In the dark: Former Barclays senior executive claims that big banks made it harder for some of the wayward practices to be properly monitored
Big banks kept their independent directors in the dark as much as possible, making it harder for some of the wayward practices leading up to the financial crash to be properly monitored, a leading City director claims.
Jayne Almond, a former executive director of Barclays and Lloyds, told a gathering of senior directors last week that non-executives were 'given as little information as possible'.
Almond joined Barclays in 2003 when Matt Barrett was chief executive and stayed until 2005 when John Varley had assumed the top role.
She was at Lloyds from 1999 to 2003.
Now chairman of Stonehaven, the equity release mortgage firm, and a non-executive director at Aldermore, Almond suggested the complexity of operations within the big international banks meant it had become extremely difficult for independent directors to monitor behaviour.
Lord Davies, former chairman of Standard Chartered, told the same meeting hosted by wealth management firm Heartwood that he believed traditional boards were no longer able to properly fulfil their oversight on behalf of shareholders.
'No one can be a specialist in all these complex things,' he said, referring to products such as derivatives.

Villa Maria Victors
Coach (season, record): Walt Federowicz (18th season, 275-77-14)
2011 overall record: 16-4-0
2011 region record (place): 7-1-0 (co-champion)
2011 playoff results: Defeated Titusville 9-0 in the District 10 Class AA quarterfinals before losing to Harbor Creek 3-1 in the semifinals.
Top players lost: Kaitlyn Kissell, Kim Maasz, Jillian Blaszczyk, Alexus Edinger, Maddy Reichel, Abby Kenski, Kathryn Strobel, Kaylee Philbrick
Top returning players: Courtney Edwards, Eileen Burger, Alexis Monicello, Melissa Blenner, Taylor Jones, Allie Trocki, Morgan Putnam, Emily Schwabenbauer
Assistant coaches: Narciso Burgos, Aaron Jones, Doug VanHoozer
Outlook: Villa Maria could go through a rebuilding season. At least for the first half of the year. The Victors were decimated by graduation and transfers in the offseason. Villa lost seven seniors, including Kaitlyn Kissell, Kim Maasz, Jillian Blaszczyk, Alexus Edinger and Maddy Reichel. Kissell holds school records in career goals (129), season goals (41) and single-match goals (6). She was voted to the all-state team, to the all-district etam and the Region 5 Player of the Year along with the all-region first team. Maasz, Blaszczyk and Edinger were all-region first-team selections, while Reichel was voted to the second team. Those losses would be enough to cripple most powerhouses, but added in three transfers and three players pursuing other sports and the Victors will be hurting this year. Abby Kenski, an all-region first-team selection, left for McDowell, while second-team Kathryn Strobel transferred to Strong Vincent. Kaylee Philbrick moved to Nebraska, leaving the Victors with a young and inexperienced team.
Seniors Courtney Edwards, Alexis Monocello and Melissa Blenner return. Edwards is a second-team midfielder, while Monocello is a midfielder and Blenner is a standout on defense. Also back are juniors Eileen Burger (all-region second team), Taylor Jones and Allie Trocki along with sophomores Morgan Putnam and Emily Schwabenbauer. Putnam was Villa's second-leading scorer as a freshman. The Victors will look to underclassmen to fill in some holes, including freshmen Julia Lorei, Elizabeth Patsy, Taylor McMahon, Emily Grochowski and Emma Shimek. Villa's schedule doesn't do the Victors any favors. The first three matches are against District 10 powerhouses McDowell, Harbor Creek and Mercyhurst Prep. The Victors should be much better in the second half after developing as a team but they need to take care of their region opponents, aside from Mercyhurst, to make sure the season doesn't get away from them.

They're raising 19 kids between them, working full-time jobs and now planning to cover 198 miles by foot in roughly 24 hours.
That's no problem for the "Six Pack Mom Attack," a group of five women runners from Northbrook and one woman from Deerfield, who will tackle the Ragnar Relay in June.
The relay race from Madison, WI, to Montrose Beach on Chicago's lakefront challenges teams of runners to cover nearly 200 miles as a group and raises money for Back on My Feet, a nonprofit that aids the homeless. The six women will trade off racing 36 legs among them over the course of the event, spending the rest of their time in two rented vans.
"We basically run, rest, eat, sleep in the vans," said the team's leader, Karen Redmond.
A corrective exercise specialist and running coach, Redmond said that she was inspired to put together a group of runners to compete as soon as she heard about the race.
"I wanted them to be people that I thought were great," she explained. "But I also wanted them to be people that were pretty serious runners and well conditioned, not people who just start running in the spring when it gets nice out."
Between her friends and their friends, Redmond had a talented pool to draw from. Her hand-picked team includes Stacy Abel, marathoner and mother of three; Whitney Martin, also a marathoner and mother of three; Kim Busch, Ironman competitor and mother of four; Jennifer Falk, marathoner and mother of two; and Allison Harris, who placed seventh in her age group during the 2009 Chicago Marathon and has three children.
"These women are winning races and placing in their age groups even in some of the races that have 10,000 runners in them," said Redmond, who has two children.
The team leader adds that she also hopes they're setting an example for other mothers who want to get into shape.
"Four of us are in our 40s," she said. "I really wanted to try to empower and motivate women that have kids so they can be fit."
Of course, the race is not so much about getting in shape for this group of women, who train year-round and have dozens of marathons under their collective belt. It's really about the experience.
The runners will take turns running segments of the 198-mile race, ranging from 2.9 to 9.98 miles, as they follow the course south from Wisconsin. The race begins Friday morning and continues overnight into Saturday--meaning some people will be running during the middle of the night.
"I'm dreading the sleep," Falk said at a group meeting in early March.
Five of the women have gathered outside the Lululemon athletic store at Northbrook Court, where Redmond hands out color-coded charts that indicate which legs each woman will run. Total distances range between 25 and 42 miles, with the longest leg going to Harris, the group's fastest runner and most accomplished marathoner.
The group is meeting to discuss training—practicing running up to three times a day and meeting for early morning track workouts—as well as the logistics of the trip.
Beyond simply the running, there's a lot to think about. They're worried about the smell of sweaty runners in the vans and what they'll eat. They can't have too much food between legs, as it could make them sick. But should they snack on Gu, a jelly-like supplement? All natural Lara Bars? Can they sneak a sandwich? And what about sleep?
Though they're nervous about the details, the group is also excited about the challenges—and the team aspect of what is typically a solo pursuit.
"Running is kind of a loner sport," Redmond said. "Everyone's pretty fired up about it, 'cause we're doing a team thing."
They're also excited about their sponsorship. Running Right, a specialty store in Highland Park, will supply the group with shoes, socks, hats, sunglasses and other equipment.
"Running Right is doing us just a huge, huge favor," Martin said.
The store will also be holding a contest: Anyone who guesses a number closest to the group's finishing time will receive a gift certificate.
"My goal for the team is just under 26 hours," Redmond said. "I mean, if we did amazing we could get under 25."
She's confident about how her team will perform compared to the others in their age group.
"I have a pretty competitive group of runners and I expect them to do pretty well," Redmond said.
After all, these women run year-round and dominate their age groups in half and full marathons—all while raising 19 children.
"I do a lot of pre and post-natal training, and I think a lot of times it's really hard for women after they have kids," said Redmond. "Anything we can do to show them it's possible will motivate them to get out and try something. I think that's kind of what we all have in mind."

Cos Bar, supplier of luxury cosmetic products, recently opened its newest branch location in La Jolla in October 2012.
The boutique began as a single store in Aspen, Colo. nearly 25 years ago. Since then, owner and president Lily Garfield has opened 13 branch stores in eight states, with four locations in California.
"Cos Bar delivers a luxury beauty experience with out the pressure of the retail giants," said Store Manager Christine Sandoval.
Unlike department store cosmetic counters that promote a single vendor, Cos Bar encourages its customers to mix it up. Patrons have the freedom to browse behind the counters and test different brands until they find the product right for them.
Their extensive line of name-brand products include makeup by Laura Mercier, skin care by Natura Bisse and fragrances by Clive Christian. Some brands like Bobbi Brown and Tom Ford are only available in store.

1. MICHAEL FLOYD- OH my goodness is he looking like a Larry Fitzgerald clone. And guess what hes faster 4.47 that's faster than A.J Green ran last years combine. The only thing holding him back is his off the field issues, otherwise i think he not Justin Blackmon would be the first Wr drafted. On physical talent alone he's above the rest of his class, with AlshonJeffrey a close second depending on his fortytime. This is a 6'3 220 pound Full grown man who put up monster numbers with weak quarterback play two years in a row, this is no one hit wonder. Hes the real deal and Jacksonville would be crazy to not look at him I'm telling you here and now hes Going to be a absolute match up nightmare for and cornerback. The crazy thing is he hasn't even come close to being the receiver he could be. With Jerry Sullivan as his coach he could be a All pro. I think he can be to Gabbert what Johnson is to Shaub.
T.2Justin Blakmon- Although i was disappointed he didn't run the 40, he looked to par in the gallant drills. I have to admit i didn't know he was as smooth in the hips as he was he makes it look so easy getting in and out of cuts and he has elite body control. If he runs 4.5 hes sure to be gone by the time jax picks with S.T Louis noticeably lusting all over him. Hes shorter than i thought at 6'0 but that wont be a huge obstacle. Other than that hes as advertised. His 40 time will be real important i think he has to run at least low 4.5s to be a top 10 pick.
T.2 Kendall Wright- He is still my favorite player of the draft. And i would have to believe hes closer to 4.4 than 4.6, which are the two times he ran. He didn't seem to get a good start on either one but theirs no way hes going to run 4.6 again cant wait until his pro day. This is still the deep threat of this years class and hes as gifted as any of the other WRs in this class. He plays with heart and yes hes short at 5'10 but hes not small he weighs almost 200 pounds. Look carefully to whos on the other end of all of those highlight reel touchdowns RG3 was throwing. He will run faster at his pro day and that will boost his stock back up.
3. Alshon Jeffrey. This is where the wild card lays. This year i was for sure he would come out and double up on his outstanding sophmore season but it didnt happen. First of all he let himself go in the off-season, he looked chubby even for a Tight End . On top of poor quarterback play he was doomed from the start. But when hes on there is nobody that can take over a game like he can in this draft class of talented WRs. He makes bad throws look so pretty espicially when hes jumping in the air he has Calvin Johnson type of leaping ability. He came to the combine all chizzled down from 230lbs to 216. If he runs 4.5 he could leap frog Blackmon and Floyd on some draft boards. He can be as good as he wants to be and somebody is going to get a steal if he falls to the mid to late 1st round. No way he falls to the 2nd.
4.Marvin Mcnutt- If this years draft wasn't so full of talented WRs he would be a late 1st round pick. This guy can flat out catch the ball. He was another person that didnt have very good qb play but still seemed to stick out like a sore thumb for his team in a good way. I liked Criner Or Sanu here but they both ran like defensive ends yesterday both running an embarrassing 4.67 although both should still be productive at the next level. Mcnutt for now but who knows.

Living Love (Part 3)
2008 Calvary Impact's
Week Three Bible Study
We have been working our way through what "agape love" looks like according to Paul in 1 Corinthians 13. This week will continue this process as the Holy Spirit guides us through Scripture. By understanding this picture of Agape love, we then know better how to pray for the Lord's help in living it out each day. The more we live it out, the more others will see Christ in us and be drawn to Him.
While this study is being prepared for the 2008 Calvary Impact Mission trips, the refining of agape love in our life will allow everyday of our lives to be a mission trip as we, "Let our light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.' (Matthew 5:16)
Please begin with prayer.
Answer the following questions. They will be discussed at the next mission meeting.
Please read: 1 Corinthians 13:5 (Love) Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; what does the word "provoked" mean?
According to one author, the word "easily" is no in the original Greek manuscripts. This means that this should read, "is not provoked." Please think about the four types of love that we discussed in the first Bible study in this series. Please decide if each type of love can be provoked and why?
Philio- (brotherly love)-
Eros- (physical love)
Storgi- (you do for me and I will do for you)-
Agape- (pure love for the sake of love that expects nothing in return)
What makes you become provoked and why?
Take the situation that you just described and think about how Jesus would handle the situation. WWJD and why?
1 Corinthians 13:5 (Love) Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; What is thinking evil about someone?
Based on your experience, in what ways can people think evil of each other?
What can sometimes be the main root of thinking evil about another person?
How is trust linked to "thinketh no evil"?
As Christians we should believe that God knows all things and is in control of all things. Is there a link between us not trusting others and our faith in the Lord being in control?
Read: Psalm 139:17-How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If David perceived God's thoughts toward him were precious, what kind of thoughts was God having toward David?
Read: Jeremiah 29:11-11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Can we use these thoughts of God as a model for the way we view others? How?
Read- Philippians 4:8-Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Using this verse, can you think of things that can replace evil thoughts about an individual with whom you are having a personal struggle? Make a list.
How can you make thinking in this way a habit? What things can you do to help you develop this pattern of thinking?
What benefits do you gain by thinking in this way about others rather than thinking "evil" thoughts?
1 Corinthians 13:6-7- Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. What does "iniquity" mean?
Have you ever been glad to see someone end up in trouble? Why?
Please read- 1 John 3 1:2 (The Message) What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we're called children of God! That's who we really are. But that's also why the world doesn't recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he's up to. But friends, that's exactly who we are: children of God. Have you ever stopped to think that sinning against another person, and being happy when someone has troubles is sin, we are actually sinning against someone whom God loves? How does this fact change how we view our sins against others?
In what ways does our rejoicing in another person's struggles cause us to have a bad testimony for Jesus?
Look back at 1 Corinthians 13:6-7- Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Rather than being happy when someone else struggles, what does this Scripture tell us we should rejoice in?
What is truth and where does it come from?
Name five things flow from God's Word which is truth?
Are these things good or bad? As we rejoice in goodness God's perfect Truth which was written for us, His children, is there really room for being glad about another person's problems? Why or why not?
What words can we speak or convey to the person rather than the ugliness of rejoicing in their difficult situation that will encourage them and be a positive testimony for the Lord? HINT: G _ D' _ P R _ M _ _ E _
How will this honor the Lord?
What can you do to help remind yourself to maintain this perspective?
Please think of the last person for whom you rejoiced about a bad situation that had occurred in their life. What words of life could you have spoken to them hat would have encouraged them and brought glory to God?
List three key points from this Bible study that you think are important enough to act upon, that is, with God's help, to change how you respond to others. Beside each point, write practical things that you can do, knowing that the Holy Spirit will need to strengthen you in the process.
Please pray and ask the Lord to help you to live His agape love by showing you areas in your walk with Him that need your attention and His Spirit's touch.
Remember: Live Love!

After working on a school project about Haiti, fifth-grade student Makynlie Rockhold decided to find a way to help people in the impoverished country.
Hamilton Elementary School students are using this year's March Reading Month as a way to raise money for Haiti.
After working on a school project about Haiti, fifth-grade student Makynlie Rockhold decided to find a way to help people in the impoverished country. She approached the principal with her idea to help raise money to send overseas.
"I'd been doing some research about Haiti and, right now, the worst problem is clean water. I wanted to help with that," Rockhold said.
Rhonda Klomparens, principal at Hamilton Elementary, said Rockhold's first idea was to sell paper hearts to students during the month of February.
"During that time, we were already earning money for a former student that has brain cancer," Klomparens said.
It was decided that the fundraising would be put off until March's Reading Month and that Rockhold and another classmate would join the committee of teachers who organized the month's events.
Together, the committee came up with the idea to give each child in each classroom a bookmark loaded with reading-related activities.
"The bookmarks have these choices on the back where you can read when you're in the tub or eating a snack ... they have all these creative ideas on the back," said Rockhold.
Children would take part in the various activities at home and have a parent sign off that they had completed it.
Klomparens said parents and community members also would become sponsors for one week of the month of March.
"Each classroom needs to have four sponsors. Those four sponsors sponsor a classroom for a period of one week. They would give $25 to sponsor the classroom for the first week, another family might give $25 to sponsor them for the second week, and so on for four weeks," Klomparens said.
At the end of the month, each classroom that had its students complete all the reading activities every week ideally would raise $100. This money would purchase 20 water filters for 20 families.
The school connected with StarFysh, an organization formed with the intent of helping an area near Haiti called La Gonave. StarFysh focuses on agriculture, clean water, education and other relief activities.
According to starfysh.org, "$100 will place a biosand water filter in a family's home, providing enough safe, good tasting water for up to 10 people. These basic and durable filters remove all bacteria and parasites from bad water, making it safe to drink. And each filter will provide a family with clean water for up to 10 years."
On Feb. 27, students at Hamilton Elementary attended an assembly that introduced the idea and had a representative of StarFysh explain the water filtration system.
"It's one of the purifiers where you put stone, then pea gravel, then sand on top of that. The water runs through that and through that process it's purified. They're really light-weight," said Klomparens.
Page 2 of 2 - At the end of the month, the school will have a StarFysh representative return to the school to celebrate the donation of the water filters.

Hello Patch readers, Kathy from Store with Style here.
Now you might be asking yourself...why is this crazy person talking about Spring on January 4th? Well, it's never too soon to start looking forward to the end of winter in Cleveland and with that being said, it's also never too soon to start prepping for spring cleaning. I was contacted by the folks from a local magazine to do an interview for their winter edition on exactly what I'm talking about....getting a jump on spring cleaning! While the interview doesn't exactly give you earth shattering revelations, it does contain 4 key points that will really go a long way towards getting yourself ready for spring cleaning, or to keep that New Year's Resolution of Getting Organized in 2013!
So, for those of you interested, here are those helpful hints:
PURGE: Purging is the foundation of spring cleaning. If you are one of the zillions of people that leave their laundry sitting in baskets because you don't have any place to put it, sort the items to be thrown out, donated or stored. In Northeast Ohio there are many organizations that NEED your help by donations of household items or clothing. Not only are you helping yourself, you are also helping others.
Do Something Every Day: Commit to sorting your mail and recycling the newspaper daily so it won't pile up and create a bigger hassle in the long run. The key is "DON'T WAIT" When you bring in the mail start a new habit of sorting it immediately and make a place for bills & coupons and recycle the rest. This takes you minutes if you do it daily, rather than looking at the huge pile once a week and letting it overwhelm you.
Maximize Your Space: One of the first things we do when we work with a customer to maximize their space is look up! There is typically tons of unused 'air space' above your head in closets and garages. With closet systems we like to use shelving up to the ceiling and in garages or even basements there are storage racks that can hang from the rafters that will easily hold those seasonal items, or boxes/totes that contain rarely used items.
Analyze Your Space: Really think about how you want to use your space, especially in closets. Are you a "folder" or a "hanger". If you like things folded and stacked, think about re-doing your closet with more adjustable shelving than hang rods, and vice-versa if you prefer to hang your clothes rather than fold. Either way, since you likely can't add more closets, you should focus on maximizing the space you already have.
Essentially its all about truly looking at your lifestyle and honestly assessing what it is that is giving you the most angst. If it's the piles of mail, then deal with those. If it's jam-packed closets, then tackle that area....I think you get my point.
I hope that I have given you at least a little something to think about, and if nothing else, the fact that Spring is only 75 days away!!

Class of 2011 vs. Class of 2029
Every year, Beloit College posts its list of what the freshman class of that year, in this case 2011, doesn't recognize. For example, the class of 2011 was born in 1989, so they do not know about the Berlin Wall. It is always a big deal in education circles and I am sure you can do a Google search and find hundreds of other blogs posting about it.
Other examples from the list:
They never "rolled down" a car window.
Michael Moore has always been angry and funny.
They have grown up with bottled water.
But I have also found this list. Kids born in 2007 will be members of the class of 2029. Some of it is risque as my mother would say.
Role-playing games have always been played on the Internet. What's a 20-sided die?
All TVs are "high definition."
They've never had to pull over for directions.
Cafes have always been a place to work on a laptop.
The "dot-com bust" means as much to them as the Great Depression.
Ipods have always come with a phone.
Global warming has always been a major voter issue, and Republicans have always acknowledged it.
Vice presidents have never been useless.
Quarters have never all looked the same.
Abe Vigoda is still alive.
I am sure "Fish" will always live on.

Outsourcing experts, IT analysts, and optimistic vendors are predicting an increase in IT services deals during the second half of 2009. They foresee an uptick in outsourcing driven by enterprises looking to increase IT efficiency and cut costs.
Unfortunately, some of those organizations signing new outsourcing contracts, so pressured to slash costs, will cut the wrong corners on their new deals and ultimately end up disappointed in the results. "I think when we look back on this period, we'll find that companies' objectives for outsourcing weren't really that different than theyve always been, but their propensity for making bad decisions increased," says Edward J. Hansen, a partner in law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius's business and finance practice.
[ Get insight on the latest tech business trends with InfoWorld's Tech's Bottom Line blog. ]
Speeding through the outsourcing selection process or rushing into a deal without an RFP, for example, may save you time and money now, but are more likely to cost you dearly over time. Instead, try these smarter strategies to save money on your next outsourcing deal.
1. Be clear about scope.
Before you even think about starting the outsourcing selection process, complete a thorough assessment of your IT portfolio to determine what can be outsourced, what can't be outsourced, and-most importantly-what shouldn't be outsourced.
"Take a minute to step back and talk to your business customer about their needs and compare them to the IT services you currently offer," says Ben Trowbridge, CEO of outsourcing consultancy Alsbridge. "Doing so will provide you with greater insight into what IT services you should be buying from an external service provider."
"Scope creep" during the outsourcing decision making process is a hindrance to finalizing a new deal efficiently and cost effectively, says Atul Vashistha, chairman of offshore outsourcing consultancy neoIT. "A thorough portfolio assessment also provides data that comes in extremely handy [later on], Vashistha adds.
2. Adopt a multisourcing strategy.
The competitive leverage you gain by signing on a small stable of preferred providers instead of a single vendor can not only reduce costs overall, it can also help to mitigate risk through redundancy and provide access to a broader or deeper talent pool, says Daniel Masur, a partner in the Washington, D.C. office of law firm Mayer Brown. Such a multisourcing strategy may or may not cost more to manage. "But, if done right," Masur says, "it will offer benefits that more than offset any additional cost."
If you do go the multiprovider route, you may want to create a service level penalty pool, says Marc Stark, a client executive at outsourcing consultancy EquaTerra. Each provider puts a certain percentage of their monthly revenue into a pot to pay penalties when end-to-end service levels are not met. In theory, service level penalty pools will help foster cooperation between the parties, though it's a difficult provision to get vendors to agree to, Stark says.
3. Connect your service lines.
Consider incorporating provisions in your contract that allow for reinvesting savings in one line of service into spending on another line of service. For example, infrastructure savings can be funneled into innovation or transformation in another area. If the outsourcing provider knows it will win additional work, it will be more motivated to find and free up those additional infrastructure dollars, says Ed Hansen.

24 August – Summer Fayre.
Northop Hall Cricket Club is situated at the western end of Northop Hall village in the North East Wales county of Flintshire. When the mail service to Ireland was first set up in the 1700s, Northop Hall was on the original coaching route from Chester to Holyhead.
The cricket club, however, was established in 1908 on the field in Smithy Lane where it is to be found today.The club plays its senior cricket in the Liverpool & District Cricket Competition (LDCC) which is one of the ECB Premier Leagues. The LDCC embraces clubs from Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside and North Wales.
The club has been a member of the LDCC since its inception as a Premier League with its 1st and 2nd sides playing in the Saturday divisions. The 3rd XI plays in the competition's Sunday leagues and this team is very much the development side for the up and coming players from our junior section.
The club has ECB ClubMark accreditation which, in essence, means that it is a totally safe environment for children and vulnerable adults. All its coaches are ECB qualified and carry CRB clearance which is an essential part of the ClubMark recognition.
The club is very proud of its youth policy and programme. It provides coaching for all its youngsters, both male and female, throughout the year and competitive cricket in the cricket season in both the North East Wales competitions and those provided by the LDCC. The age groups at which these competitions are run are at under 9, 11, 13 and 15 and some knockout competitions for the older players up to under 21 years of age. (The age groups are in line with the day school methods of calculation with ages being those at 31st August in the year preceding that in which they play.) The youngsters are also eligible to play representative games for both North East Wales and the LDCC with matches being arranged against other county and league sides.
ClubMark accreditation also means that membership is available to all who have an interest in the game of cricket, this interest being in all aspects of the game be it playing, coaching, officiating (either as an umpire or scorer) assisting in the running of the club or just coming along to watch.
The function room is available for hire for parties, business meetings, receptions, christenings, etc.
For further information on this please contact Simone Lusted on 07920 584489 or email email@example.com further information on cricket matters click on "About Us" for contact details.

This looks like it could have been taken in the 50's, but it actually was taken today at Reading & Northern's headquarters in Port Clinton, PA. This engine was originally Reading Company #2102. On our way up to ride ATV in Minersville, the boys and I acted on a hunch and found her sitting outside. This would be the first time Daniel and Sean have seen the beautiful engine. We can only hope she will one day be running again. (Bucket list for sure!)
