Simply stated, the Harvest Moon is the full moon that falls the closest to autumnal equinox. So the full moon that comes tonight – on September 8-9, 2014 – is the Northern Hemisphere's Harvest Moon. However, in 2014, the September full moon narrowly beats out the October full moon for the honor. Had the September and October full moons occurred 16 hours earlier this year, the October 2014 full moon would have claimed the Harvest Moon title.
Usually, the September full moon is the Northern Hemisphere's Harvest Moon. But in a year when the full moon falls in early October, the October full Moon can actually be the Harvest Moon. This last happened on October 4, 2009, and will next occur on October 5, 2017.
The moon reaches the crest of its full phase, on September 9, at 1:38 Universal Time. Astronomers define full moon as that instant when the moon lies most directly opposite the sun for the month. Although the full moon happens at the same instant worldwide, it also occurs at all hours around the clock, depending upon one's time zone. For instance, for the time zones in the continental U.S., the full Harvest Moon will arrive on September 8, at precisely 9:38 p.m. EDT, 8:38 p.m. CDT, 7:38 p.m. MDT or 6:38 p.m. PDT. For much of North America, the moon will turn precisely full on the evening of September 8. (See worldwide map below.) But no matter where you live worldwide, you'll see a full-looking moon lighting up the night tonight from dusk till dawn.
By the way, this year's Harvest Moon qualifies as a supermoon because the moon turns full less than one day after reaching lunar perigee – the moon's closest point to Earth for the month. Look for this full moon to usher in a wide-ranging spring tides along the ocean coastlines for the next several days, whereby the high tides climb extra high and the low tides fall exceptionally low.

So watch for the bright moon tonight, tomorrow night and the night after. The Harvest Moon has been celebrated throughout the centuries and millennia for providing several nights of dusk-till-dawn moonlight. Before the advent of electricity, farmers of old counted on the Harvest Moon to gather crops during the season of waning daylight.
Everything you need to know: Harvest Moon 2014
Day and night sides of Earth at instant of full moon
One of you asked:
Is the phase of the moon consistent across the United States? Recently, on a trip to the California coast we saw a full moon, but it did not appear to be in the same phase just one day later in the western Pennsylvania sky.
The moon's phase does appear the same as seen from across the U.S. – even from across the world – more or less. When the moon is full, for example, it's more or less full for all of us. So looking up at night unites us all, across the planet. We all see the moon as nearly full around now, for example.
The moon's phase is continuously changing, though, even if that change isn't perceptible to the eye. From one night to the next, the moon can definitely appear different in phase from the previous night. What's more, your perception of the moon might be affected by other things – for example, by whether you're seeing the moon in twilight or late at night, whether it's peeking from behind trees or shining in solitary splendor, whether it's a big reddish moon low in the sky or a smaller whiter moon closer to overhead.
There are seasonal variations, too. Around the time of full moon in spring, the moon rises much later one evening than it does the evening before. To me, that gives the impression of a moon that's waning rapidly. In late summer and fall, the opposite is true. At middle and far northern latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, full moons in September and October are characterized by a shorter-than-average time between successive moonrises. These moonrises close to the time of sunset – around the time of the full moon in September and October – are the essence of the Harvest Moon phenomenon.
Bottom line: Each September and October, around the time of full moon, the moon rises near the time of sunset for several evenings in a row for us in the Northern Hemisphere. It's almost as if the months of September and October each have several nights of full moon, instead of just one. This is the Harvest Moon phenomenon. In 2014, observe this phenomenon around September 8-10.
Minor lunar standstill lessens impact of 2013 Harvest Moon

Yankees lefthander CC Sabathia suffered a strained adductor near his left leg and hasn't pitched since June 24, eventually landing on the disabled list.
He's just about ready to return to action, and expects to start July 17. Bryan Hoch:
"I'll be ready. I feel pretty good," Sabathia said. "My arm feels great, I haven't felt the injury. I would assume that I'll go out and be ready to go."
Sabathia said that he expects to throw about 60 pitches in a simulated game on Friday at Yankee Stadium, which would put him in line to get back into the Yankees' starting five to face the Blue Jays in the Bronx.
Since Sabathia's last appearance the Yankees have gone 9-5 and increased their lead in the AL East from 2½ games to seven games. Cause and effect? Probably not; manager Joe Girardi will surely feel better with his top pitcher back in the rotation.

Save Unklejam!
As fans of Unklejam, we the undersigned are deeply upset by the decision of Virgin Records to withdraw release of the album, UNKLEJAM. We feel that more time is required to let the world know about the uniqueness of this enormously talented group. Time, Virgin Records does not wish to give them. It took several albums to get the late, great Bob Marley and U2, who are still going strong to get off the ground. Unklejam has not even released a single album! Fans travel from all over the country to see this truly amazing group perform. Their music is beautifully soulful, their live act, superb and unparalleled. We have all eagerly awaited the release of this album which has been pushed back several times before. To have it pushed back again on the eve of release is something we are not prepared to tolerate. How much longer do we have to put up with this corporate madness We have a very great emotional and financial investment in Unklejam and call on all the people involved at Virgin Records UK to initiate immediate action to place the album UNKLEJAM on release, once again.

Will it take a world record to win the men's 100m?
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Based on reports coming out of London that the track inside the Olympic stadium is lightning fast, the world record in the blue riband event could well be shattered given the class of the competitors that have qualified for tomorrow's semi-finals.
The world record is owned by the inimitable Jamaican champion Usain Bolt with none of the world's other sprinters even coming close to his 9.58 clocked at the World Championships in Berlin, Germany in 2009.
Although Bolt seems to be getting back to top form, it doesn't appear that he will demolish the field on this occasion.
World records aside, Bolt will have to dig deep to fend off the charge of his training partner and the apparent main threat to his sprint crown, countryman Yohan 'The Beast' Blake, who has the world leading time of 9.75.
Blake appears to be in awesome form based on his easy win in the first round of the 100m. Sure to be brimming with confidence after his double win over Bolt at the Jamaican Olympic trials in June, Blake with be firing off all cylinders and will be sure to keep Usain Bolt honest on the track.
The other Jamaican possibility, Asafa Powell, must be aware that time is running out at age and this may be his last Olympics, and as such, he must be hungy for an individual medal at the highest level.
Powell's ability has never been in question and if he gets his trademark explosive start, he may just pull Bolt, Blake and the other competitors to a record-breaking time.
The American challenge to the Jamaican sprint supremacy cannot be underestimated and Tyson Gay will be gunning to shatter Jamaica's dreams for more glory. Gay is a fierce competitor and although he is on the mend from hip surgery, his lat races have indicated that his fighting spirit and fast finish are still intact, therefore making him a formidable opponent.
Gay is one of three of the current crop of top flight sprinters who can boast of beating Bolt over 100m — the others being Blake and Powell.
Another American Justin Gatlin has everything to prove that he is the genuine article and will definitely be pulling out all the stops in order to cop a podium finish, while the other American Ryan Bailey must be brimming with confidence after posting the fastest time of 9.88 in the qualifying round.
Whatever happens when the starter's gun fires at 3:50 pm tomorrow, one thing is sure: Whoever wins will have to run fast. Very fast.

The Herald Bulletin
ALEXANDRIA, Ind. —
On stage Saturday night at Church Street Commons here, the house lights will go down and actors will take their appointed places for a performance of "Murder, Medium-Rare."
The mystery, penned by Eileen Moushey, will be the debut play performed on the community center's renovated stage.
In one sense, the play represents the culmination of a renovation project that Scott Owens, founder and president of the ministry, began six years ago. In another sense, it embodies a deeper level of community involvement he first envisioned 13 years ago.
The 9,000-square-foot church at 204 W. Church St. was in terrible shape when his group acquired the building, which Owen said "had to be almost completely rebuilt."
There was widespread water and termite damage; and it needed new plaster, extensive electrical and plumbing work, and new heat and air conditioning systems.
The previous owners, a Baptist congregation, was told renovating the church would cost $2 million.
They moved to a new location, said Owens, adding that another church group held services there for a time, but couldn't afford the maintenance and upkeep.
Owens said he restored the building for $70,000. But the work had to be done in stages with all-volunteer help. Renovations are now about 90 percent complete.
"Everything I do is for Jesus Christ," said Owens, a construction contractor by trade. "He has provided everything I needed. This has been a very long process. At times I wanted to give up, but it's paid off."
When a friend told Steve Fleck about the renovation, he went down to have a look.
The choral and drama director at Alexandria Community Schools for the past six years, Fleck has directed a number of mystery plays with his advanced drama students.
All those previous productions were mounted in schools. And no matter how hard they tried to hide the fact the performances took place at school, you could always tell.
He was looking for something different. A real theater.
"I went down and walked in and thought 'Oh my gosh, it's perfect!'" Fleck said. He said Owens' renovation of the sanctuary, the cherry and oak hardwood stage and other features supplied the real theater and authentic cabaret feel he was looking for.
"It just looks absolutely wonderful," he said.
And is the perfect setting for Saturday's dinner-theater murder mystery.
The setting for "Murder, Medium-Rare," is this, according to a synopsis on Moushey's website: Noted cookbook author and critic, Marjorie Richmond is attending a dinner in her honor. She makes a grand entrance accompanied by her much-younger, henpecked husband, Jeffrey. The characters/actors in this mystery are part of the wait staff at the banquet.
There's nerdy, near-sighted Milton, ever-emotional Blanche, and the sweet-young-thing (and Jeffrey's former girlfriend), Kim. Chef Roberto Di Napoli is there as well, fussing over the food and vainly trying to win Marjorie's approval and endorsement. When Marjorie is murdered, two undercover cops take over the investigation.
Members of the audience, prompted when necessary by Fleck's student actors, will question the suspects and eventually try and guess who the murderer is.
Owens said his goal with renovation is to "reach youth who are interested in the arts. I'm a sports guy, but sports is well-funded. The arts aren't. We want to use the building to encourage an interest in acting, music and live music performance."

The talented Italian linked up with Antwerp on loan during transfer deadline day, following in the footsteps of the likes of Jonny Evans, John O'Shea, Darron Gibson and Phil Bardsley. Luke Giverin and Gyliano van Velzen were with the club last season.
"I'm looking forward to this experience," he told the club's official TV channel. "Hopefully I can do well and, together, we can do something good.
"Obviously, my coach was Warren Joyce and he spoke about Antwerp a lot so I know lots of things about it. From what he told me, it's a good team and crazy fans, in a good way, so I can't wait to start.
"I didn't know him [Hasselbaink] before I met him but everyone knows about him and it will be good to work with him. Hopefully, he can teach me something good and I can learn."
Petrucci will spend the campaign in Belgium after having a spell with Peterborough last term and is keen to show off his talents.
"I play midfielder and I can play behind the striker sometimes," he added. "Or, when we play 4-3-3, I can be right or left but, as long as I play, I'm happy.
"I just want to play. Obviously, it's a new experience for me and I don't know many things about it but I just want to play."

Our suite was 8538. The furniture was worn and nicked. Actually, the whole ship needs new furniture. It is tired.
The staff and people were all very nice that we came in contact with. Our cabin attendant was excellent.
The food in the buffet upstairs was not good, unless you are a fan of powdered eggs. The line for a real egg omelet was usually pretty long. Lunch at the buffet was just OK. There wasn't much variety. Dinner and lunch in the formal dining room was much better. I loved the salad bar option in the formal dining room.
Actually, we did love all the ports. But Oslo was a mixed bag. We stayed there 2 nights after we got off the ship. Oslo is beautiful, but EXPENSIVE. We had a bowl of fish soup at the cheapest restaurant we could find that cost $20.00 each. A beer at a moderate place costs $15.00 to $17.00. If you are going to Oslo, take out a second mortgage on your house before you go so you can afford a good meal.

PEORIA, Ill. -- A business heavyweight tells local leaders that education is the key to the nation's future.
State Farm CEO Ed Rust was the featured speaker at the Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce Public Affairs series.
In addition to being the head of State Farm, Rust is the Chairman of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and serves on the board of Caterpillar, Inc.
He says corporations must work with the government to make sure America's children have the best education and says State Farm has found success with company programs that aim to educate, train, and retrain workers.
"We did a lot of partnering with be it junior colleges or universities around the country, and making sure that we can find the talent or we partner with others who have the talent," said Rust. "Some of that, you may find in programming work or other types of analytic skill-sets we need."
Ed Rust serves on the board of America's Promise Alliance and is the former chairman of the Business-Higher Education Forum and Business Roundtable's Education Initiative.

Tucson News Now is getting a better idea of how many drunk drivers were taken off of southern Arizona roadways in the days leading up to Christmas.
Today the Southern Arizona DUI Task Force released its newest numbers. This past Friday and Saturday, law enforcement made more than 1,200 stops. They arrested 57 people for drunk driving.
More than one third of those arrested were considered to be extreme DUI's meaning they had a blood alcohol level about 0.15. The legal limit is 0.08.
Four people were arrested for DUI that were under 21 years old.

Angry Management (eBook)
Angry Management (eBook)
Every kid in this group wants to fly. Every kid in this group has too much ballast.
Mr. Nak's Angry Management group is a place for misfits. A place for stories. And, man, does this crew have stories.
There's Angus Bethune and Sarah Byrnes, who can hide from everyone but each other. Together, they will embark on a road trip full of haunting endings and glimmering beginnings.
And Montana West, who doesn't step down from a challenge. Not even when the challenge comes from her adoptive dad, who's leading the school board to censor the article she wrote for the school paper.
And straightlaced Matt Miller, who had never been friends with outspoken genius Marcus James. Until one tragic week—a week they'd do anything to change—brings them closer than Matt could have ever imagined.
Chris Crutcher fills these three stories with raw emotion. They are about insecurity, anger, and prejudice. But they are also about love, freedom, and power. About surviving.
And hope.
About the Author
Chris Crutcher has written nine critically acclaimed novels, an autobiography, and two collections of short stories. He has won three lifetime achievement awards for the body of his work: the Margaret A. Edwards Award for Outstanding Literature for Young Adults, the ALAN Award for Significant Contribution to Adolescent Literature, and the NCTE National Intellectual Freedom Award. He has been a child and family therapist with the Spokane Community Mental Health Center and is currently chairperson for the Spokane Child Protection Team. Chris Crutcher lives in Spokane, Washington.
Praise for Angry Management…
"Well written, action packed, engrossing, and at times humorous . . . [Angry Management] is vintage Crutcher."
-Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
"Crutcher fanatics rejoice! . . . Teens comfortable with Crutcher's black-and-white take on controversial issues will delight in these stories, and with his best book cover yet, this may draw new fans to the fold."
-ALA Booklist

Aldnoah should be higher than Ghoul, just swap those. Gekkan Shoujo should be higher… if not top 5 somewhere… seriously. SAO II ain't losing it's crown… let's not kid ourselves here. It's decent at best and unworthy of its no.1 spot but there it will stay for the next year or so even after its airs its last episode. Other than that, list seems legit.
- Top 20 Anime of Summer 2014, According to Sony:
God I hope not, Guilty Crown was a mish mash of ideas that never panned out to anything with substance. Great OP/ED's, Great character animations/drawings, decent soundtrack, shitty insert themes (especially the last episodes theme during that stupid ass dance,) ajnd overall a plot that couldn't tell heads,tails or ass-backwards what it wanted to do with it's plot. Beautiful animations for such a below par show. It's like buying a Faberge egg and expecting it to do shit when all you can use it …
- Top 20 Anime of Summer 2014, According to Sony:
Roku and Hanaya are great fun and all but they should be nowhere near the top 5, top 10 sure., maybe for Hanaya but Roku is entertaining and all but it's largely trash when compared to other shows. Entertaining trash. Gekkan Shoujo is top 5 material, that show is awesome. Terror at the very least in the second slot is great; because love it or hate it, there's just no way SAO II is relinquishing it's throne anytime soon as much as I hate to say that. Entertaining, oh hell yes it is. #1 spot? …

Theodore "Ted" Snazelle, Ph.D.
This is my 33rd year of teaching at Mississippi College and my 43rd year in higher education. My major teaching areas over the years have been in microbiology (BIO 414/5414) and immunology (BIO 415/5415). Additionally, I teach a freshman biology majors course (BIO 111 - Biology I) and a nonmajors course called Plants and People (BIO 105).
I am involved with directing research projects at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. My research interests have involved the microbial diversity of gram-negative rods in fresh water lakes, the diversity of gram-postive cocci on environmental surfaces, e.g. the diversity of gram-positive cocci on the pads inside of football helmets. Specifically, we have been trying to determine the prevalence of CA-MRSA (community acquired, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) on the pads inside the helmets. Current student research involves the diversity of human oral microbiota, particularly the capnophiles and anaeobes. The bacteria identifications are accomplished through using the BIOLOG GEN III MicroStation System.

RHINEBECK, N.Y. -- Village trustees will meet Tuesday to take comments on a proposed village events code and zoning changes for the Dutchess County Fairgrounds.
The session is scheduled for 7 p.m. in Village Hall at 76 E. Market St.
Mayor James Reardon said last week that there are only slight changes to the documents since a meeting in April drew eight people, with the only concerns then that language was not clear enough.
"There are some tweaks that we made to the zoning code proposal for the fairgrounds as far as clarification of definitions and terms," he said. "The map is also online."
A proposed events codes was sent to committee after a previous version drew more than 100 people to public hearings in November 2011 and January 2012, when residents were split on the need for village regulations over events that were expected to draw more then 500 visitors.
Under the revised proposed code, events would be required to have a permit regardless of type or size if it would "require additional planning or resources on the part of the village or which could have an adverse impact on its ability to respond to an emergency or protect its residents."
Reardon earlier this year said the events code will allow officials to evaluate services that could be needed from the village.
"Basically it's a screening process," he said. "If we deem it necessary to provide for additional police coverage or for the Highway Department to be involved as far as traffic management or cleanup we'll be able to make that call."
Officials began developing zoning revisions in 2010 to address changes proposed for the fairgrounds, which village trustees said attempted to facilitate activities that are not related to agriculture. Among problems was an effort to expand areas used on the site by installing electric service to an area near village homes, which led to a court challenge by fairground owners of village orders to stop work based on complaints from residents.

Whiskeyfest Northwest/
Largest Whiskey Festival in the Northwest Brings Together A Gathering of the Senses in Support of CASA
March 6, 2013 (Portland, OR) – The Pearl District's inaugural WhiskeyFest NorthWest (WFNW), scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 11th, 11am - 10pm, will bring together over 100 of the finest northwest, national and international whiskeys and scotches, signature cocktails, eclectic music, fine cigars, local restaurants, vendor booths, educational opportunities, prohibition and bootlegging themed lounges and much more, for a unique event benefiting CASA for Children. Organized by The Luna Foundation, this innovative festival will feature both local and internationally-renowned musicians, including Bronze Radio Return, Spirit Family Reunion, Danny Barnes, Sassparilla, Stolen Sweets, Inspirational Beets, and Jacob Miller & The Bridge City Crooners, at NW 11th Avenue and NW Northrup Street.
The craft spirit and craft cocktail boom have led to an explosion of craft and small batch distilleries crafting innovative and interesting whisk(e)ys. This festival is a great opportunity to experience the wide variety of styles (full list at end of article) while enjoying some great music and steady eating to have something to soak up all that whiskey you'll be drinking while supporting a great cause.
"We're throwing many of Portland's favorite things under one roof for an experience unlike anything in the northwest," explains Sam Watson, President of The Luna Foundation. "We're thrilled over the response we've received so far and we are incredibly excited to partner with CASA for Children. We look forward to building awareness for such a noble nonprofit."
The Luna Foundation is an Oregon non-profit, whose mission is to provide otherwise unavailable opportunities to children and families affected by illness or poverty through the promotion of arts and music in the Northwest. This organization has announced that event proceeds will benefit CASA for Children of Multnomah and Washington Counties, whose mission is to support and promote court-appointed volunteer advocacy so that every abused or neglected child can be safe, establish permanence and have the opportunity to thrive.
Sweet and savory provisions will be prepared and sold by Southland Whiskey Kitchen, Brix Tavern, Bunk Sandwiches, Fire on the Mountain, The Station, Streetcar Bistro and Taproom, Solstice Wood Fire Grill, The Red Fig, Eat at Joe's Catering, NEPO42, JaCiva's, What's The Scoop, Chunky Pig and Sugarknife. Widmer Brothers beer will also be available to attendees in addition to a full cocktail bar.You can get your tickets at whiskeyfestnw.strangertickets.com and are : $20 per person for early bird tickets, $25 for general admission, and $100 for the limited seating May 10th Five-Course Whiskey Tasting Dinner, which includes general admission.

Well, this has been wild. With Guatemala's defensive injuries and the United States' constant defensive changes, a high-scoring game shouldn't shock too many people, but this is still incredibly wild for a game between two teams who would both benefit from a draw. The U.S. have done very well to fight back from an early deficit, and lead 2-1 after 18 minutes of play.
Whether spontaneously or because of a move by Jürgen Klinsmann, Graham Zusi and Eddie Johnson swapped places. As the right-sided midfielder, Johnson drifted out to the right on a move forward and laid a low ball across the face of goal, something the right-footed speedster couldn't do on the left flank. Clint Dempsey made the perfect run and got a touch on the ball, poking it into the back of the net.
The United States appear to be sticking with their wingers opposite where they started, which makes sense. If Johnson is wide because of his pace, why not put him on the side where he can hit crosses from the byline?

Aconcagua: Justman & Team's Plan for Basecamp Rest Day
Posted by: JJ Justman, Mike King, Steve Gately | January 19, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Elevation: 13,800'
We will spend the day taking showers in our Cabelas shower tent, ordering pizzas and perfecting the art of chillaxing. Finally, the sun is out in full effect so we are also charging phones and iPads. Tonight will be a marathon session of The Wire.
Today's rest really isn't needed. Our team is doing great! However, at this altitude we can recover back to 110% before we move to Camp 1 at 16,600' tomorrow. Stay tuned and please keep posting comments! The team appreciates it.

Aconcagua: Nugent & Team Forced to Turn Back on Summit Attempt
Posted by: Katrina Bloemsma, Billy Nugent, Walter Hailes | January 18, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Elevation: 21,500'
It's a cold, cold world.
We woke up and fired the stoves at about 3:30 this morning and things were looking good: clear skies, bright moon, and calm winds. We scarfed a quick breakfast, had a quick cup of coffee, packed up, and hit the not so dusty trail. The consistent snowfall of the past week has blanketed the mountain so what is normally a gravelly trail out of Cólera was a very snowy sendero. Our team moved well, per the norm, despite the large number of other climbers clogging the route and before too long we had climbed past the Indepencia Hut (ruins) and hit the traverse into the Canaleta. At some point along the way we found ourselves no longer enjoying the clear skies but instead traveling under consistent snowfall. In fact it was snowing heavily and visibility was poor. Despite the worsening weather the snowpack seemed ok until we reached the center of the traverse. Walt and myself headed out further without the group and found the normally gravelly trail under several feet of snow. In fact the whole Canaleta was smoothed over with the storm snow. Every other team on the mountain had already turned around due to avalanche hazard but we hadn't seen anything worth turning around until the deep storm layer that we encountered in the lower Canaleta. While the snow didn't seem super reactive the steeper part of the Canaleta was surely more dangerous and there was no way to see without exposing ourselves to the hazard. With worsening weather and continued snowfall we decided that the dire consequences of an incident were too much for us to shoulder. We weren't willing to bet our lives on it so we did the smart thing and turned around at 21,500'. Now we are back at high camp and the weather is still crappy. So much for the forecasted sunny day…

Aconcagua: Justman & Team Carry to Camp 1
Posted by: Mike King, JJ Justman, Steve Gately | January 18, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Elevation: 13,800'
Today we carried to 16,600 on Aconcagua. We enjoyed a cool morning with snow and a light breeze. The entire team cruised through our breaks to arrive at Camp 1 with a small piece of blue sky. The scree which is typically dry and loose was covered in snow, making the climbing more enjoyable. The team returned to Base Camp just in time for weather to roll in and snack before siesta. Rest day tomorrow!

Aconcagua: Nugent & Team at High Camp Ready for Summit Bid Tonight
Posted by: Billy Nugent, Walter Hailes, Katrina Bloemsma | January 17, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Elevation: 19,600'
We're at high camp, poised and ready! Last night we had quite the snowfall, almost 8", which is quite a lot for Aconcagua. We spent the morning digging out and packing up for our move up. The large majority of the climbers who were queued up at Camp 2 made the move up to Camp Cólera with us today so trail breaking wasn't so bad. Our team stayed together and moved smoothly through the terrain despite very hot temperatures. Blue skies and direct sun at almost 20,000' coupled with the reflective blanket of new snow made for some serious UV exposure not to mention the high temperatures. It felt like being in the Mega-Tan 9000 industrial strength, Baywatch endorsed tanning bed all day. Then as we arrived at Camp Cólera the clouds rolled in and it started to snow again. If the last seven days are any indication, the snow should stop and the clouds should lift sometime overnight. We have our fingers crossed for a clear and comfortable summit attempt tomorrow.
We'll check in tomorrow after the hurly burly's done!

Aconcagua: Justman & Team Rest Day at Basecamp

Elevation: 13,800'
First and foremost…Todd wants to wish his beautiful wife Kelly Happy Birthday! The team spent their first night at Aconcagua Basecamp and everyone woke up this morning feeling great! On a rest day the key is to eat great food and drink lots of liquid to ensure proper acclimatization.
We had scrambled eggs with homemade potatoes. This afternoon we will be making homemade pizzas for the team. We even had Grajalas' cook, Griselda, coming over asking for our recipes!
Later today we will set up the shower tent so we can get clean and smelling back to normal. Another camp activity for today is sorting group gear for our carry to Camp 1 at 16,500 feet.
Happy Birthday Kelly!!!

Aconcagua: Stevens & Team Celebrate in Mendoza
Posted by: Garrett Stevens, Mike King | January 16, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
We got down off the mountain yesterday, after a fairly quick hike out from Pampa de Leñas in the cool shade of an early morning. The team moved well, quickly pushing through the last remaining miles towards internal combustion and cold beverages. After checking out with the guardaparques, we grabbed a bite to eat in Penitentes, hopped into our transport, and settled in for the trip back to Mendoza.
Once back in the city, a round of hot showers was in order. After that, we headed down to one of my favorite restaurants here, El Patio Azul de Jesus Maria, where the team feasted on various cuts of meat, enjoyed delicious Malbec, and reminisced about our excellent adventure. The camaraderie and friendship was abundant, and was the perfect complement to our meal.
You know, sometimes you have to step back from a thing to grasp its true measure…and this trip certainly qualifies. While we were fortunate enough to climb onto the summit of the mountain, the real value was not necessarily that point in time or space. Rather, it is the journey we shared over the last three weeks, the sunrises and sunsets witnessed, the in-the-moment focus required to cross rivers and snowy trails, the laughter and human connections made over grilled steak and pots of ramen. While we may part company in a few short days, these memories and shared experiences will continue to give us immeasurable satisfaction, and allow us to return to our lives with new vision and appreciation.
Thanks for following our journey. May it be food for the soul!

Aconcagua: Nugent and Team Wait out Weather at Camp 2
Posted by: Billy Nugent, Katrina Bloemsma, Walter Hailes | January 16, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Elevation: 18,000'
Today marked the passing of yet another rest day. We hung out at Camp 2 along with many others; Katrina counted more than 67 tents in camp today. We sat the day out watching all sorts of crazy weather over the course of the day: Intense sun/heat, chilly breezes, pelting graupel and hail, puking snow, and continual thunder and lightning all afternoon… Pretty exciting. It seems the horde of other climbers have a very similar strategy to us. Our team is well-rested and ready to move up to Plaza Cólera (our high Camp 3) in what looks to be marginal weather tomorrow putting us in position to take a crack at the summit in better weather on Saturday. A strong wind event is forecasted to begin ramping up with moderate winds on Sunday and over 60 mph winds forecasted for Monday. Hopefully we can nail it but it certainly has been a bit of a chess match with the mountain and the weather.
Wish us luck as we roll out on our summit push over the next two days,
RMI Guides Billy, Walt, Katrina, and the Whole Gang!

Aconcagua: Justman and Team arrive at Base Camp
Posted by: JJ Justman, Mike King, Steve Gately | January 16, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Elevation: 13,800'
We have arrived at base camp! Our team is in full effect chilling. We had a beautiful last day trekking up the Relinchos Valley, and guess what!? The Old Spice worked! We had a family of guanacos checking us out as we filled up water bottles at a nearby stream.
The cowboys that have graciously helped us waved goodbye as they rode past. Aconcagua was out for most of the day as we walked in. The team is doing great and it's so nice to unload all our gear without having to pack it all up for the mules. Now, we get to rest and relax at 13,800 feet.

Aconcagua: Nugent & Team Move Up to Camp 2
Posted by: Billy Nugent, Walter Hailes, Katrina Bloemsma | January 15, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Elevation: 18,000'
Greetings friends, relatives, loves ones, roommates, neighbors, acquaintances, enemies, stalkers, etc. We've made it safely up to a crowded Camp 2 (Guanacos Campo, Chopper Camp) and settled into our tents. The move from Camp 1 was largely uneventful except for partly cloudy skies which made for rapid, drastic temperature changes… Freeze or fry, as they say, never comfortable. We moved extremely well despite the slightly funky weather and big loads and were greeted by the many Camp 2 inhabitants. We actually had to use our snow shovel and a borrowed McCloud to grade out new tent platforms in the dirt. Moving earth turned out to be quite a bit more taxing than the actual climbing! Anyway, we are all here feeling the altitude a bit but doing well nonetheless. Tomorrow's plan is largely dependent on the weather forecast we get tonight, wish us luck and good favor with Mother Nature!
All for now,

Aconcagua: Justman & Team Travel through the Vacas Valley to Casa de Piedra
Posted by: JJ Justman, Mike King, Steve Gately | January 15, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Elevation: 10,550'
The team is at Casa de Piedra, which in Spanish means… house of…Piedra. It was another gorgeous day of trekking in the Vacas Valley. Everyone is doing great and we are excited to be one step closer to base camp. For me it's always fun to hear and see the expressions on people's faces as they truly appreciate how beautiful it is here.
We had a condor sighting, which is rare in the towering mountains. However, the elusive guanaco is nowhere to see. I'm pretty sure if I put on some Old Spice it will attract some for the team. Stay tuned!!

JOE TALAMO, SAHARA SKY, WINNER: (In response to the horse coming off a layoff and going off at such a big price): "I was real confident. I know Jerry (Hollendorfer) always has them nice and tight off the layoff. He ran unbelievable. That was actually the closest he's ever run; I thought he was going to be 10 lengths further back than he was. He broke sharply, he put me right there, and I still had a lot of horse when I called on him. I just followed him (Rafael Bejarano on Justin Phillip) the whole race; whatever he did, I did. I had a lot of horse today."
MARTIN PEDROZA, PRIVATE ZONE, SECOND: "It was like a Quarter Horse in there trying to burn me out (referring to Edwin Maldonado on Comma to the Top.) My horse never could relax, he just kept seeing the other horse, wanted to go after him, and I didn't want to choke him back, it's only six furlongs. He never stopped, my horse was always running, even when the other horse (Sahara Sky) ran by him, he was still running."
RAFAEL BEJARANO, JUSTIN PHILLIP, 5-2 FAVORITE, THIRD: "The pace was good for me and I was four lengths behind from the speed. When he came running in the stretch, he didn't show me what I expected."
JERRY HOLLENDORFER, SAHARA SKY, WINNER: "A fresh horse will break a lot better and maybe lay a lot closer. In the past when you have to move this horse, you have to make him move. But he kind of halfway moved himself today and Joe (Talamo) didn't have to prompt him too much.
"We both thought that the two speed horses would hook up and maybe make a good pace for us. That's the key to winning a race like this. We had to have a little pace in front of us for that particular kind of horse, so we got lucky today and he came through for us."
NOTES: The winning owners are Hollendorfer, of Port Richmond, CA, and Kim Lloyd, who races as Sweetwater Stable, of Claremont, CA.

Hassan al Nuaimi, the president of the Qatar Golf Association explained in a press conference why Tiger was not going to play in the tournament:
"Tiger Woods demands $3 million just for an appearance, if he were to compete in the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters," said al Nuaimi. "[$3 million] is not worth paying for a tournament of $2.5 million prize money."
Tiger is not the only high-profile player that is having trouble collecting multi-million appearance fees. Rory McIlroy recently raised his appearance fee to $2 million. The Australian Open was prepared to pay McIlroy his original $1 million fee, but backed out after the price was raised.
One has to wonder if the players have finally overpriced their services and if this will lead to a backlash against appearance fees.

4Taylor Swift Is Dating A Kennedy Now
You see that little ragamuffin up there, that tall, lanky kid with the unkempt hair and the douchey shorts with his arm around Taylor Swift? That's Conor Kennedy, 18-year-old son of Robert Kennedy, Jr. That's also Taylor's boyfriend.
From People:
Over the Fourth of July, Taylor Swift was photographed hugging Patrick Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver's son. But now it appears that Conor Kennedy, the son of Robert Kennedy Jr. and the late Mary Kennedy, is actually Taylor's love interest. He is pictured just to the right of Swift in the same photo – and the two have been spending lots of time together.
On July 25, Swift, 22, and Kennedy, 18, enjoyed slices at Kennedy family favorite Marcella's Pizza in his hometown, Mount Kisco, N.Y., and "walked out hand-in-hand," according to a source. Earlier that day, Kennedy was appointed as the administrator of his late mom's $2.1 million-plus estate, according to the Boston Herald.
Days later, the pair grabbed pizza again and visited with his grandmother, Ethel Kennedy. And on July 29, they lunched with friends at Baxter's on Cape Cod where she ate chicken fingers and sat next to Kennedy. Swift "was smiling a lot and she looked happy," says an observer.
The New York Post also reports that the couple were seen kissing and holding hands over the weekend.
Swift has been open about her love for all things Kennedy. She said she was "starstruck" when she met Caroline and Ethel in January, and has called Jackie Kennedy a style inspiration.
And the Kennedy's seem to admire the Grammy-winning country star as well. On Dec. 3, Swift will be honored by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights for her commitment to social change, especially her work against bullying and LGBT discrimination. Ethel Kennedy will present the award.
I know that Taylor Swift has the mentality of an eighth grader, but she's 22. Isn't it a little weird that she's dating an 18-year-old? Not weird like "oh, so gross, Taylor Swift is robbing the cradle," but just weird in that when I was 22 (two whole years ago), I would have never ever even considered the possibility of dating an 18-year-old boy. It just seems like even though it's only a difference of four years, those four years are some really important ones. And maybe Conor is mature for his age, but judging solely by his hair, I really don't think so.
But hey, do you think this could be the relationship that really sticks for Taylor? LOL, I doubt it, but I hope Taylor has fun playing pretend for a couple of months.

4 Responses to "Taylor Swift Is Dating A Kennedy Now"
Stay out of his car.
I don't think she'll be singing "Happy Birthday" to him next year, but something that will reflect her newly-learned unflattering experience with the Kennedy clan.
I think I'll add her to my dead pool now. I just have to select which category to put her under: Auto accident, plane crash, or overdose.
LOL. Define "douchey shorts," please, Emily.

FirstEnergy to Donate $3.4 Million to Build Habitat Houses in Ohio
AMERICUS, Ga., Feb. 5 - Habitat for Humanity International announced today that FirstEnergy, a registered public utility holding company headquartered in Akron, Ohio, will donate $3.4 million to build houses with Ohio families in need. During the 12-month partnership, FirstEnergy will sponsor approximately 50 houses in communities served by its Ohio electric utility operating companies - Ohio Edison, Toledo Edison and Illuminating Company.
"FirstEnergy's partnership to build energy-efficient homes demonstrates their tremendous commitment to providing safe and affordable homes to families within their service area," said Millard Fuller, founder and president of Habitat for Humanity International. "We are grateful for their support and commitment to eradicating poverty housing in their community."
The funding is part of FirstEnergy's commitment to support energy-efficient low-income housing as outlined in the company's electric-restructuring transition plan, approved by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio in 2000. Each of the Habitat for Humanity houses built will be energy-efficient Energy Star homes.
"We have a long-standing tradition of supporting the communities we serve and promoting energy efficiency," said FirstEnergy President and Chief Operating Officer Anthony J. Alexander. "Our partnership with Habitat for Humanity International to fund the construction of Energy Star homes is a perfect fit for us and will benefit many families in our service area."
FirstEnergy's electric utility operating companies - Ohio Edison, The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company and Toledo Edison in Ohio; Metropolitan Edison, Pennsylvania Electric and Pennsylvania Power in Pennsylvania; and Jersey Central Power & Light - comprise the nation's fourth largest investor-owned electric system, based on serving 4.3 million customers within a 32,100-square-mile area that stretches from the Ohio-Indiana border to the New Jersey shore.
Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. Founded by Millard Fuller, along with his wife, Linda, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliates in more than 2,000 communities in 83 nations have built and sold more than 100,000 homes to partner families with no-profit, zero-interest mortgages.

Very tasty and juicy! I ate mine without cheese, and it was still really tasty! Everyone of them was gone. A feat in my family.

I recommend using 1/2 the tomato paste. But very tasty with ground turkey too!
Reviewed Apr. 20, 2011
The meat crumbled and fell apart, I did everything just as the recipe said... I will NOT be doing this again...
Reviewed Oct. 26, 2010
We didn't care for this recipe. I think it was the tomatoe paste that made the burger seem like it was undercooked...even though they weren't.
Reviewed Jul. 23, 2009
A question: i only buy at least 93% lean ground beef. How the volume of this leaner beef compare with the 80 or 85% lean meat?
