My Dream Is To Break Egbunike's Record, Says Omeiza Akerele
HE was full of smiles, posting in different photographs with athletes and officials from other countries at the Stade Germain Comarmond, Bambous, venue of the just concluded 11th African Junior Athletics Championship.
The volunteers lined up to take their turns. For them, having a group photograph with Nigerian 400m star, Omeiza Akerele was a thing of pride.
Two months ago, Akerele was in Team Nigeria's U-17 team to the World Youth Athletics Championship in Ukraine. He made a great impact, running a personal best time of 47.23 seconds in the 400m, though it could not fetch the country a medal.
He was moved to the U-20 squad for the trip to Mauritius and many felt it was a 'wasted' ticket. He proved them wrong, as Akerele became the saving grace for the 4x400m team in the final, rescuing the gold in the most sensational manner that was reminiscent of the heroics of Enefiok Udo-Obong at the Sydney 2000 Olympics.
Team Nigeria had increased its gold medals' haul to six, with south africa and Ethiopia giving a hot pursuit. It was the third day of competition and all hopes were on the boy's 4x400m team to pump up the gold medals for Nigeria.
But midway into the 4x400m final, the Nigerian quartet found itself playing second fiddle to Kenya and Gambia after the third leg runner, Ugbochukwu Ottah, failed to maintain the tempo Adedamola Adeniyi and Charles Okezie had started with.
A resilient Akerele, who picked a silver in the 400m flat a day earlier, came to the rescue with a big fight. He chased down the Gambian athlete, Tijan Keita at the 200m curve and narrowed the gap. Keita was the African youth champion at Warri 2013,
With much determined push at the home stretch, Akerele changed gear, overhauling the Gambian in the process of negotiating the curve. In a manner reminiscent of the great come back by Innocent Egbunike at Nairobi '87 All African Games in Kenya, the entire stadium was in uproar, as Akerele anchored at 3.14.50 to win the race. He became an instant hero and was carried shoulder-high by Team Nigeria's officials round the stadium. His opponents came to congratulate him soon after the race for his doggedness and never-say-die attitude.
Like Oliver Twist however, the young Akerele was not satisfied with his fate yet. "I wanted to run 46 seconds this year. That had been my target," he told The Guardian. Akerele, who is the son of a professor at the University of Benin said; "I never dreamt of winning a medal in Mauritius. I came to the competition just to gather some experience since I am still in the youth category. But having made it to the final, I felt it was an opportunity to write my name in gold. I am so happy I got it. Though it came in a very hard way."
Akerele started his career at the Uniben Demonstration Secondary School as a sprinter, but was converted to 400m by Coach Chime Oswegu because of his height and stride.
After running a new personal best time of 47.23 seconds in Ukraine two months ago, the young Akerele became the most sought-after athlete by coaches from America and many European countries. He was offered a scholarship by Ken Turkey State University in USA.
With a gold and silver medal to his credit in Mauritius 2013, the Igarra, Edo State-born Akerele says the future looks very bright. "My dad is a professor in Uniben and I am the one among the children who is interested in sports. My parents give me money to train and attend competitions. I am glad I have gotten something to show for their support.
"But I won't stop until I achieve my major aim in athletics. I will do everything humanly possible to break Innocent Egbunike's record. It will happen one day," he said.
In his youth days, Egbunike set many records in athletics. He was a bronze medalist in the 4x400m relay at Los Angeles '84 Olympic Games and the 400m title at the 1987 All-Africa Games in Kenya, beating homeboy, David Kltur in a dramatic final watched by the country's president, Daniel Arap Moi. Egbunike had a personal best of 44.17 seconds in the 400 metres in 1987.
To the young Akerele, that record of 44.17 seconds set by Egbunike since 1987 has stayed too long in Nigeria's athletics and it is time to retire it.
"My aim in track and field is to be the best. Money is not everything in life. The determination to represent my country has brought me to this stage and now, it is time to move ahead. I will do everything to break Egbunike's record. I am so determined to do it and I know it will happen.
"Breaking Egbunike's record means I have to put in extra effort. I am ready for the challenges ahead. All I need from the federal government is more competitions and sponsorship to international events. I want to say that the little experience I got at the World Youth Championship in Ukraine added to my performance in Mauritius," Akerele said.
Looking back to the 4x400m final race, he said: "This is one race I won't forget in my life. When Ugochukwu was overtaken in the third leg, I told myself that I could still do something since the gap was not too wide. So, when I collected the baton with two athletes already ahead, I had to double my effort. My coach usually tells me that for you to be a champion, you have to put in extra effort and that was exactly what I did. Thank God it paid off," Akerele said.
Every medal won by Nigerian athletes at Mauritius 2013 was so vital, but some were more 'precious.'
After Akerele rescued the gold medal for Nigeria on the third day of competition to take the country's gold tally to seven, many jumped into conclusion that the championship was already won and lost. But Team south africa, who came into the championship with the largest contingent, had their plans.
The 11th edition of the African Junior Athletics Championship was first awarded to South Africa by the Confederation of African Athletics (CAA), but a crisis arising from power play between South Africa's Athletics and the country's Sports Ministry forced CAA to move the competition to Mauritius, an island located deep into the Indian Ocean.
Mauritius with a population of 1.2 million people is an African country, not by geographical location, but by adoption. It is four and half hours journey by air from the city of Johannesburg. While South Africa is one hour ahead of Nigeria, Mauritius, a Francophone country, is four hours ahead, but they see themselves more as Indians.
Mauritius prides itself as the city of paradise, being a destination place for tourists around the world.
The earlier plan to host the championship made the South Africans to prepare their athletes more than any other country for the competition.
According to an official, the people wanted to host and win after the unimpressive showing by the country's football team, Bafana Bafana at the 2013 African Nations Cup in January, which South Africa hosted. They lost to Mali in the quarterfinal in the competition won by the Super Eagles.
"Since then, we have been looking forward to this athletics championship to prove a point that what our football team lacked, we have in abundance in our junior athletes. Even when we lost the hosting right due to the crisis between our Athletics Association and the sports ministry, we went ahead to give our athletes the best of preparations, thinking that we will come to Mauritius and pick the title. I am sad we lost it," the official told The Guardian during the closing ceremony at the Germaine Comarmond Stadium, Bambous.
Team Nigeria athletes, who had their preparation in Sapele, Delta State, had projected 10 gold medals. That was before the leadership of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) came up with the decision to decamp nine athletes for age related issues on their international passport.
To avoid an international embarrassment, the AFN President, Solomon Ogba, ordered the decamping of nine athletes, a decision some coaches felt would affect the general performance of the team in Mauritius.
But Ogba stood his ground, saying it was better to compete fairly and lose than to win with 'over age' athletes. He was proved right.
At the end of the second day of the competition, Team Nigeria jumped to the top of the medals' table with four gold medals with South Africa and Ethiopia close on its heel. That was aside the girls' 100m, which was lost to South Africa.
By the end of the third day, Nigeria increased its gold count to seven with South Africa and Ethiopia tied on four gold medals. But the South Africans with more silver medals of six were in the second position.
By this time, the South Africans were of the view that Nigeria had almost completed its areas of strength, which are the short sprint events. The South Africans are very good in the throws and their calculation was that no matter what happened on the final day, they would catch up with Nigeria on the medals table. It nearly came to pass.
The final day of competition began well for the South Africans when Megan Wilke captured the gold medal in the girls' javelin event. It took their gold to six. Nigeria was still ahead with one gold.
The women triple jump event was next and Team Nigeria's hope was on Ese Brume, who had won two gold medals in the 4×100 relay and long jump. Brume was so sure of the gold in the triple jump.
The South Africans had no athlete competing in the triple jump event, but decided to move their drums and banners to the venue. Their support was for Lerato Sechele of Lesotho to beat Brume. It worked. Only one jump, the Lesotho athlete found herself in the lead. She leaped 12.62 metres, while Brume leaped 11.93 metres.
With the drum-and-banner-waving support coming from the South Africans, Sechele jumped 12.39m in the second attempt, while Brume put aside the pressure to increase her leap to 12.35m. The South Africans were not done yet, as they increased their support for Lesotho.
In their third attempt, Sechele leaped 12.30metres, while Brume jumped 12.52 metres, a new personal best record. All the five athletes completed their six jumps and none could surpass Sschele. She won and Brume was second.
A disappointed Brume wept like a baby, seeing her dream of emerging as the tournament's best slip away narrowly. When she summoned the courage to speak, Brume told The Guardian that apart from not competing with Sechele in the past, the Mauritius 2013 Games was the first time she would venture into the triple jump event since Eko 2012 National Sports Festival.
Nigeria picked another medal, a bronze, in the boy's 400m hurdles final, but the pressure from South Africa was still mounting.
The girl's 200m final was next and Nigeria's Nkeiruka Uwakwe wasted no time. She won the gold to take her medals tally to three gold, the best by any athlete in the championship. South Africa's Der Merve Philippe Van was fourth. The medal by Uwakwe increased Team Nigeria's gold to eight. There was still hope for South Africa to level up.
The South Africans relied so much on the ability of Mokofeng Fana James in the boys' 200m event. To them, no other athlete would outclass James, so their supporters moved to the finish line drumming for the anticipated gold. It didn't come their way. A divine intervention from Divine Oduduru rescued the gold for Nigeria.
The Urhobo-born Oduduru knew that the expectation was much. Losing the 200m gold would mean Nigeria losing the title. On the other hand, the South African athlete (James) was fully prepared for the battle to take his country to the top of the medals table. The race started and the South African took to the lead. But a resilient Oduduru did a wonderful job at the curve and took control with the taller and much bigger James pushing. The Nigerian continued with the pace and crossed the line first, though the opposition from Mauritius and South African athletes was so much.
If Oduduru had lost the gold in the 200m, the hope of winning the title would have slipped, after South Africa picked two more gold medals in the women shot put and boy's discus.
Then, both countries would have tied on eight gold and with South Africa having the highest number of silver medal of nine against Nigeria's seven; the title would have eluded Team Nigeria.
While Nigeria topped the medals' table with nine gold, South Africa and Ethiopia had seven gold each, but the South Africans had more silver of nine against Ethiopia's seven. Egypt was fourth with five gold and Kenya sixth with four gold medals.
After the championship, AFN Technical Director, Navy Commodore Omatseye Nesiama, was full of praise to God for the victory.
Under his tenure, Nigeria won the continental championships at the senior (at Porto Novo), junior (Mauritius) and youth levels (AYAC in Warri).
"It cannot be a fluke that this has happened within the space of one year," he told The Guardian shortly before leading the victorious team back home.
"There is something that is definitely good in what we are doing, whether we want to accept it or not. We also recognise that there is still a lot of room to further improve on our performances in all departments of the sport, hence the coming in of the High Performance System in our sports is commendable. That will further raise the stakes in our processes of development and performance," Nesiama stated.
He commended the AFN President, Solomon Ogba, for his 'zeal and dogged determination' to succeed. He also praised the Sports Minister, Bolaji Abdullahi, as well as the Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Gbenga Elegbeleye, for their renewed support for athletics.

Update 5: February 24, 2005
5:57pm, EST
The tsunami brought destruction to Phuket's Patong Beach, but in its wake is a beauty unseen for decades, reports ROB MCKEOWN.
In the first weeks after tidal waves swept across Patong Beach, locals spoke of almost nothing but the tragedy. From grocery shoppers in Ocean Plaza to residents out for an early morning drive, about 200 perished here in the December 26 tsunami. The destruction and reconstruction dominated conversations.
But now that cleanup efforts are underway and foreign survivors have gone home, there's a new and unexpected point of agreement: it has been decades since the beach looked so good.
"Patong looks beautiful, huh?" my soft-spoken driver, Dorn, said to me one morning as he wound his gold Honda down one of the towering cliffs that guard Patong Bay.
It was a thought I had been afraid to voice myself. What was once a clutter of tourist-trap beer bars and stands renting umbrellas and jet skis looked pristine. The sand was white and went on forever, catching the early morning sun in honeyed light and set in relief against the teal Andaman Sea. Jungle-clad headlands rose in all directions. Young Thai children sat at a distance from the water beneath coconut palms.
Locals are pleased with the return to beauty, but they are also quietly desperate for tourists to return. More than 80% of residents make a living from tourism. In this, the high season, the island's 35,000 hotel rooms would usually be nearly full. As it is, they're running at 10 to 15% occupancy.
But the devastation that is keeping the crowds away has created an opportunity for growth. The Thai government now plans to invest nearly $15 million in this resort town as a new model for oceanfront development. Some proposals being discussed: hiding all power cables and waterworks for "aesthetic appeal," banning all clubs and entertainment venues on the beach, and cutting back on the number of beach umbrellas for rent from 7,000 to 1,500. Beneath the remaining sea pines and palms a promenade will be installed and sculpture gardens and music plazas will be built. All this, it's hoped, will bring back tourists—not the rowdy masses of Patong's recent history, but a more refined crowd that will appreciate the newly clean beaches.
In the meantime the sand, turned over by the waves, is sugary-soft and looks cleaner than it has for decades. Where wooden chairs once crowded the beach, a pick-up soccer game now spreads out at sunset. It is a quiet, tenuous paradise.

Remember Nevin Shapiro? He's the guy we named the Greatest Ponzi Schemer of All Time last August, over all other Ponzi schemers, Bernie included. While Madoff would have won if we were judging based on size alone, we weren't. Shapiro took home the title because 1) with his ill-gotten gains, he made a name for himself in the University of Miami community and 2) he subsequently kicked things up a notch after being sent to jail, where he chose to fuck the Hurricanes' football program raw, detailing the boatloads of prostitutes he bought for players ("I had the boat for prostitution situations"), the lavish meals he would treat them to at Benihanas, the "hit of the game" (Shapiro "put bounties on specific players, including Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow and a three-year standing bounty on Seminoles quarterback Chris Rix from 2002 to 2004, offering $5,000 to any player who knocked him out of a game") and the dancer he gave $500 to have an abortion after she got knocked up by one of the athletes who he kept in the dark about the pregnancy ("I was doing him a favor–that idiot might have wanted to keep [the baby]"). Anyway, Nevs was pretty, pretty, pretty angry that none of his so-called boys stuck by him after the Ponzi charges came out, hence the disclosing of the hookers, etc and, apparently, he's not finished letting everyone know how he feels. Read more »
Miami Hurricaines
Who is the greatest Ponzi schemer of our generation? If we're evaluating on the basis of sheer size, Bernie Madoff is the obvious answer. But as many of you know, size can only get you so far in life- it's what you do with what you've got that matters. And Berns really didn't do anything all that exciting with his ill-gotten gains. He bought a bunch of homes, yes, but his primary residence faced Lexington and from what we can tell, he didn't buy anything that interesting with his cash. Same goes for most other scams- funds are spent on cars, maybe some jewelry, maybe some prostitutes, maybe some Teddy Bears. Frankly, from an investor stand point, it's a little insulting- if you're going to rip people off, at least do something real with the money. Make a name for yourself. Penetrate a community like never before. Follow in the footsteps of Nevin Shapiro.
Nevin, and you can quote us on this, became the frontrunner for greatest Ponzi schemer of our time when, from a jail cell, he chose to fuck the University of Miami football program raw, not unlike the players who he arranged prostitutes for over an 8 year period. How did he claim such a tittle? What steps should budding Ponzi schemers hoping to make a name for themselves be taking notes on? Read more »

We are gaining quite the extensive list of Valentine's Day Hairstyles, with some from as far back as 2009. Feel free to click the link to view them all!
Today we are going to teach you how to create a Rope-Braided Heart updo. This tutorial uses aspects from a few of our past Valentine's Day tutorials, and combines them with a rope braid to bring you this beautiful updo.
Be sure to tag your own photos of this hairstyle with: #CGHRopeTwistedHeart
We chose a rope braid specifically because of how perfectly it accents and frames the parted heart ponytail, without overpowering it.
To finish off the elegant Valentine's Day updo, we decided to add a cute rope-twisted bun at the base of the heart and at the nape of the neck.
Clearly we were going more for an older look with this updo, especially for those who do not feel comfortable wearing LuvPiggies this week! Brooklyn and Bailey love this one!
I can't even begin to tell you how much attention this hairstyle garnered as we wore it around this past week! I promise you will love this one!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 3 small hair elastics, hairspray and accessory {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 8-10 minutes
Skill Level: Medium
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Please feel free to leave me a comment below letting us know what you think of this Rope-Braided Heart updo! As always, if you loved this hairstyle, please feel free to share it!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Be sure to check out Bailey's new tutorial for "Simple Valentine's Day Makeup" on her BrooklyAndBailey YouTube channel. Simply click below to watch…
This braid is similar-looking to a conjoined double Cobra Braid, only the stranding is different and very tricky.
This is not a new braiding technique, but the braid should be included on the list as one of the most beautiful braids out there!
I first saw this technique in video form on YouTube in Spanish back in July by a talented braider named Diana Rojas. Our version uses the technique diagonally across the back and ending in a braided bun for an absolutely gorgeous updo! {The braid would actually look great in any number of hairstyle combos.}
Tag your own photos of this hairstyle with: #CGHZipperBraid
We imagine this hairstyle as being a perfect updo for Prom, Homecoming, or any other formal occasion. You are going to simply LOVE IT!!!
My first huge tip is to wet down the hair before braiding. For braids that involve multiples in stranding, we find that this helps the braid be more clean and crisp in the final look.
As you braid, you may find a few "sharks" {parts where the hair sticks up like a shark fin in water} will appear. Simply comb them towards the braid and tuck them under it, to help hide them.
This is an expert-level braid that can be difficult the first few times, but is easy each subsequent attempt and truly amazing if you know how to do it! Again, the first few stitches are the most difficult, so keep practicing until you get it!
CGH3 has worn this to school a few days over the past few months. The girls at her school loved it so much that they were taking photos of them on their phones and texting it to their friends.
Apparently the photos spread to older sisters, who then showed the photos to my twins at their Junior High asking them to show me the style! My twins and CGH3 thought that was so funny how fast it spread, and came back full circle to us!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 hairband, 3-5 bobby pins, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 8-10 minutes
Skill Level: Hard
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Please feel free to leave me a comment below letting us know what you think of this Zipper Braid Updo! As always, if you loved this hairstyle, please feel free to share it!
Happy Hairdoing!
This past week, my twins BrooklyAndBailey shared a Book Review video, sharing their thoughts on John Green's The Fault in Our Stars, and Marie Lu's Legend!

We think this braided hairstyle will be a big hit with our fans, because it is so unique and you can do so much with it! We wanted to be sure to credit Kendra here!
Yes, this is a fishtail braid… however it is a fishtail braid on FOUR sides of the ponytail!
The front and back of the braid have a regular fishtail pattern, while the right and left sides have a reverse fishtail pattern! {Watch the braid closely when I spin Brooklyn around in the chair at the end to see the cool effect!}
Here you can learn how to fishtail braid.
Here you can learn how to reverse fishtail braid.
To recreate this look, you combine alternating double stitches of a fishtail braid with a reverse fishtail. The step-by-step directions are below.
You can also use this Box Fishtail braid hairstyle in a beautiful updo by simply twisting the braid up into itself. This will create a magnificent-looking bun that your friends will be seriously fawning over!
The ponytail version of this braid is perfect for sports, cheer, or every day wearing. The bun version of this hairstyle would be perfect for ballet, a wedding, Homecoming, Prom, or any other occasion!
You'll LOVE this braid hairstyle as you receive compliments all day long!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1-2 hair band/ponytail holders, 1 small hair elastic, 1 bobby pin, hairspray and accessory {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 8-12 minutes

If you click that button, you can immediately pin that hairstyle photo onto your Pinterest boards! Now you have an easier reference spot for all your favorite CGH styles!

Yes, it is football season again and many teen girls are already planning their Homecoming Dance hairstyles and dresses!
Some of my twins' older friends are already asking them for hairstyle ideas! Bailey in particular has loved wearing her hair up lately, and she is so loving this specific twisted updo hairstyle that we created years ago, but never filmed a tutorial for it.
This updo hairstyle really is not complicated at all, and I only classify it at a medium skill level because getting the bun in the back to secure can be a little tricky. I have found that Goody Spin Pins work well, and then I use a few extra bobby pins to take care of any of the loosies! You can find Spin Pins at your local Walmart or Target.
This updo hairstyle can be worn by women and girls of all ages, for pretty much any occasion other than sports. The style looks very beautiful for more formal events like dances, weddings, or church, especially when accessorized with hair jewelry or flowers!

I have been trying so hard to perfect this braided bun for two months now! I never could get it secured the way I wanted it, and this week I finally figured out a trick to getting the braid and bun to look perfect!
If you have practiced our Lace Braid tutorials, this updo will be a so easy for you!
The trick for me was to isolate out a small strand of hair before placing the bun maker into the hair. This strand is very important, and serves as your base to anchor the lace braid.
The style holds up nicely throughout the day, and is a perfect updo for Prom or Homecoming, or to be worn casually on any other day! I love hairstyles like that! It is one I would wear to work, and even the gym!
CGH#3 volunteered to be my model, and isn't she adorable? She wore it to church today, and I noticed several of the young women commenting on it!
I guarantee this one will get you compliments, as well!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 bun maker, 1 large hair band, 1 small hair elastic, 2-3 Goody Spin Pins, 2-3 bobby pins, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Skill Level: Medium

I've not been posting lately, just been busy with other things in life. I have still been making some things though, and playing around with fused glass. Here's a few things,I made a glass on glass, it hangs in the yard from a large tree, the evening sun shines through it.
Here is a mirror mosaic , it's cement around 2 inches thick and 16 across. I left the centre empty when I did my pour and inserted strips of stained glass so they would be imbedded in the cement mix. I let it cure and did a mirror mosaic on one side. on the other side before the concrete fully cured I carved a spiral . It has a concrete stand a solar spot light shining on it . |

Oh you l'il heifer!!! Holding out on us. I LOVE both pieces, but this one w/the embedded glass really is ingenious. I didn't understand the technique until I saw the back. LOVE how you louvered them - leaving a hole to see through. The stand - WOW - how'd you do that? Didja use the lath technique or all carved? CALAM sold me on solar lighting. I can just imagine how pretty this is at night. BTW - love that pink chair in the background. |

ATTENTION!!!! These pics Do NOT do justice to how amazing this really is!!! Klinger: you Gotta post another pic: standing back further, showing the base it is sitting on so we can get a better prospective on how amazing this is!!!! |
- Posted by rock_oak_deer (My Page) on Fri, Jul 8, 11 at 17:52
Love them both, such beautiful work. Yes, please let us see it from farther back. |
Hi, Slow, the stand was carved, started as a bucket of cement.Here's a close up with our watch dog next lol. I also got on a birdbath tangent. I made wooden stands using driftwood, and little cement birdbath basins and mosaiced the inside of them. Wonder if I should do all the outside of a couple of them too? I also had a cement gal I'd made previously, I used to put a potted plant in her hollow head but decided to form another birdbath basin, this time using hardware cloth to have a hat like look for her. A close up of her hat, I must be birdbath crazy, I've got one in the studio made with hardware cloth I've started to mosaic. I'm off camping for a bit so don't know when I'll next work on it. Cindy |

LooHoo, You gotta tell everyone how tall your wonderful girly is as she looks smaller in this pic...Great pics by the way! LOVE that last birdbath! Maybe I will get Squirrelly to make one with me this week!!! She also wants to try the wire mesh armature style too! Such a GREAT pic of puppy! He is looking like he has filled ut nicely...he was so skinny when you first got him. |

OHMYGOODNES. You've been sooooooo busy making things and not sharing. Sooooooooo happy to see these things. That girl w/the hat was the one I was talking about in my email to you. My question was - did you use the lath technique on her, or was she carved from a huge piece of concrete. I LOVE that. IMO - you should leave them as they are - mosaiced and concrete - I like that look, and am going to adopt it when I get to making a bowl for the pedestal sitting on my work table. Two questions, please: (1) When you pour a huge bucket of concrete for carving, do you put down inside lath, rebar or anything to support it? I want to try that sooooooooo bad, and hope to do so soon. (2) When you said you put fiber in your mix, what kind of fiber, and where do you get it? I think I've read that some artists use dryer lint? Please tell. Love your driftwood stands. Now THAT's creative. Cute doggie, and beautiful flowers!!! |

- Posted by calamity_j (My Page) on Sat, Jul 9, 11 at 10:27
Wow, VERY creative! I love that you think outside the box to come up with things really interesting and unique. Thanks so much for posting pics! It's very inspiring! |
- Posted by rock_oak_deer (My Page) on Sat, Jul 9, 11 at 11:24
Very nice, you have some great projects. Lots of inspiring ideas. There's a glass fusing studio here and I've been thinking of taking a class. This gives me additional ideas of what you can do with the glass pieces. |
Hi , Slow, I don't use any reinforcement when doing a carving. It's solid and pretty strong. The fibres I use are from a cement specialty shop. I've not heard of dryer fluff , but have heard of cutting and unravelling pieces of nylon rope. The girl is made of lath and is about 3 feet tall.Rock, the fusing is fun and you can make a lot of neat stuff to use in mosaics. Can be costly and addictive though. Cindy |

OMG!!! Everything is just beautiful! Love the bird baths... such inspiration! Thanks so much for posting... and yes, please post more! |
- Posted by slowmedown (My Page) on Sun, Jul 10, 11 at 8:14
Gonna Google for the fibers, KLINGER. I know I'm going to be making more leaf castings, and I want them to be strong. WOW - didn't realize the girl was that tall. Woooooohoooooo. You did a fabulous job of smoothing over the lath. Glad to see you're still using that technique. |
- Posted by concretenprimroses (My Page) on Sun, Jul 10, 11 at 13:26
Klinger, everything is incredible! Lovethe gog,itlooks quite large too. Fused glass is beautiful, great job on everything. The girl is lovely, bird bath hat is inspired! Kathy |
hey Klinger! wow, you have been busy busy, your things are so creative.. I'm drooling (that gog was THE BOMB!) I just saw a post on FB someone near me is hosting Elder Jones workshop and I couldn't resist. It should be worth it right? |
Nicethyme, I bet you are going to love that course, I think it will be well worth it. Where are you going to take it? You'll learn a lot and have a ton of fun I bet. |
A mosaicer named Susan Turlington here in VA, several hours south of me is hosting him at her studio. I'm very excited as I'm in serious need of help when it comes to carving. |
- Posted by slowmedown (My Page) on Wed, Jul 13, 11 at 6:54
Found a little time this morn to delve into Elder Jones's website. How exciting and informative. He writes instructions beautifully. Makes me want to try this technique. KLINGER: Are you self-taught, or did you take a workshop? NT - bet you'll really enjoy the workshop, and it'll be soooooo interesting to see what you do w/your new knowledge. |
I am self taught, and would love to take one of his classes, I think he's done this for so many years he'd be full of info. |

Next up is a bar where Will Buxton -- he of the breathless pit-lane reports on Speed -- is hosting a karaoke benefit. To my amazement, the place is packed, and it requires some serious jostling to burrow my way to the edge of the stage. (Sorry about spilling your beer, dude.) There, Buxton is toasting a local woman for helping Austin land the race. The guy standing next to me -- a young executive type, dressed in business casual -- has his glass raised and is woo-hooing each of Buxton's remarks.
"So who's the woman he's talking about?" I ask. Barely pausing between woo-hoos, he says, "I have no idea." Saturday morning, I drive along Elroy Road, paralleling the east side of COTA, when I spot a handwritten sign: "Welcome to Elroy, Texas, y'all." I pull into a dirt driveway and am greeted by a firecracker of a woman wearing a blue work shirt, blue jeans, and cowboy boots. "You know what I almost wrote in small print at the bottom of that sign, don't you?" she says with a laugh. "Welcome to Elroy, Texas. Now, go home!"
Cathy Olive is a goat farmer and president of the Elroy Neighborhood Association. Two years ago, when rumors began circulating that a racetrack might be built in rural Travis County, several potential locations were mentioned. "And I thought to myself, 'Please, dear God, don't let it be Elroy,'" she recalls. Unfortunately for Olive, it was Elroy (and the nearby town of Del Valle). Even worse, it was on property where the neighborhood association had previously resisted Austin investor Bobby Epstein's plans to build a housing development. Now Epstein is one of the founding partners of the racetrack, and Olive is convinced that he still holds a grudge.
"I'm not one of those 'Keep Austin Weird' people who's against progress," she says as helicopters ferrying spectators to and from the circuit thunder overhead. "I'm against the management of the track and the tacky way they got things done. Also, I'm not putting down the sport. But what about the people who live across the street from the track? I'm worried about what it's going to do to our neighborhood."
I climb into Olive's Kia Soul -- emblazoned with a "Texas Women Shoot Their Own Snakes" bumper sticker -- and cross Elroy Road to visit Donald Haywood. A retired Austin police officer, Haywood moved to Elroy for the country living. Now, his back yard has a panoramic view of turn 11. (In fact, several of his neighbors are watching Ferrari Challenge qualifying for free.) Meanwhile, his front yard, which used to be so densely wooded that he couldn't see Elroy Road from his house, abuts a gigantic, dusty parking lot.
As aromatic smoke rises from the turkey legs on his grill, Haywood tells me that he hopes the race is a big success. This comes as a shock, since I know he's angrily fighting a lawsuit with COTA over the cost of a water line. Haywood points to a For Sale sign near the edge of the parking lot and grins mischievously. "I'm hoping to sell my property," he says, "and I figure the better the race does, the better I'll do."
I spend the rest of the day sampling barbecue joints and roaming around the sprawling University of Texas campus and nearby shops on Guadalupe Street, better known as The Drag. Aside from a guy in a McLaren shirt who's scarfing down pork ribs, I don't see a single sign that there's a race going on in Austin.
Obviously, a lot of people are here for the grand prix. But the jacked-up rates being charged by hotels in the area -- at one point, I saw rooms at a Best Western going for $450 a night, with a three-night minimum -- suggest that most of the fans are out-of-towners. The contingent from Mexico is especially strong; at the track, Spanish seems to be as common as English. No doubt, thousands of Austinites are attending the race, but I've talked to others who'd sooner contract herpes than patronize COTA. But the vast majority of locals seem to be oblivious to the event, and the prevailing sentiment is summed up by a priceless headline on the cover of the Austin Chronicle, the city's alternative weekly: "WTF1?" Sunday morning, I'm worried about race-day traffic, so I leave my hotel superearly and troll up and down the main road on the south side of the track until I find a local resident offering parking for a measly $10. (He's undercutting neighbors charging $20 to $40.) Better still, he says I can cut through the back of his property, skirt around the helipads, and then enter the track through the gate behind turn 1. Pure genius.
Culturally and politically, Austin is a tiny blue dot in the red sea of Texas, and at the track, there are very few obvious signs that we're in the Lone Star State. But then I spot two powerful pieces of Texas iconography -- cowboy hats worn by members of the UT Longhorn Band milling around near the front straight and cowboy boots on the leggy grid girls sashaying through the paddock. "They've got fringe, and they've got Western yokes," says Ross Bennett, the twenty-nine-year-old fashion designer responsible for the outfits of the so-called COTA Girls. "But we didn't want them to look like the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders."
There's still plenty of time before the race, so I'm able to corner Bob Fernley in his temporary office. Now the deputy team principal of Sahara Force India, Fernley was running a Can-Am team at the ill-fated Dallas Grand Prix in 1984. "I remember that it was hot," he tells me.
"Does anything else stand out?" I ask.
He kicks back in his chair and thinks it over. "It was really hot."
"Jesus Christ, it was Texas in July!" Nigel Roebuck, the dean of F1 journalists, says when I find him in the media center. "I can't ever remember heat like that."
Conditions were so brutal that the track literally crumbled. A few hours before the race, several F1 drivers threatened a boycott. But when Roebuck asked the famously blunt Finn Keke Rosberg if there would be a race, the chain-smoking Finn disdainfully replied, "Of course, there will be a f---ing race." There was. And Rosberg won it. I watch the race from a general-admission area overlooking the slow complex of corners after the back straight. This entails standing on my feet, zealously guarding a tiny sliver of real estate, for two and a half hours. But it gives me a great vantage point, and I see at least a dozen competitive passes.
The race is far better than I expected. So is the crowd -- 117,429 on race day, bringing the three-day total to 265,499. Back in the paddock, race steward Emerson Fittipaldi, the two-time world champion who scored his first F1 victory at Watkins Glen, is thoroughly jazzed. "This is a new era of Formula 1 in America," he tells me. "This is the place America has always needed."
Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team principal Martin Whitmarsh is another happy camper. His driver Lewis Hamilton had just beaten odds-on favorite Sebastian Vettel with a late-race pass at nearly 200 mph. But Whitmarsh is equally pleased by the turnout. "Formula 1 can learn a lot from NASCAR," he says. "We're not natural-born promoters and marketers of our products. We can't just arrive with our big tent and expect people to show up. So this bodes well. But we've got to make it stick."
Although I'm a huge fan, I'm worried that F1 -- like soccer, vegemite, and Mr. Bean -- will always be a tough sell in the United States. Remember, the first USGP at Indy drew 225,000 fans before fading into irrelevance. Nowadays, the most popular road-racing venue in the country is the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, but that has less to do with its merits as a sporting event than the fact that it's been embraced by Southern California as an annual spring happening, and it's hard to imagine hippy-dippy Austin forming a long-term relationship with F1.
Then again, a race in Texas will draw thousands of fans from south of the border, especially if Mexican Sergio Perez becomes a star driving for McLaren. COTA also benefits from a cozy relationship with the state of Texas, which is picking up the tab for F1's rapacious $25 million sanctioning fee. So maybe, just maybe, the race in Austin will turn out to be too big to fail. By the time I'm ready to leave, the race has been over for more than two hours. Although delays getting to the track had been negligible, lines for the shuttles heading back to town look interminable. (I later learned that there was even worse traffic in the shuttle parking lots in Austin.) At the helipads, there are so many choppers coming and going -- more than 1000 flights -- that it looks like the fall of Saigon.
I'm perversely gratified to see the big spenders who shelled out at least 500 bucks for helicopter rides queued up in long lines. It takes me a mere ten minutes to reach my $10 parking space. Ten minutes after that, I'm boogieing down State Highway 130. When I spot a "Speed Limit 85" sign, I realize that this must be the tollway that was recently anointed the fastest road in America.
But even as I crank up the cruise control, a thought comes to mind: Fastest road in America? Hell, for a couple of hours earlier this afternoon, it wasn't even the fastest road in Travis County.

There's nothing surprising, exactly, about this chart that Fitch sent out today, but it's still sort of stark:
Once there was a land where bank debt was AA, AAA if it was particularly good or A if it was particularly dicey. Now AA is the new AAA and BBB is commonplace. The idea of risk-free unsecured lending to banks, implicit in things like Libor discounting, is over.
Right? I don't entirely understand this proposal by House Republican John Campbell to require banks to "hold substantially more capital," though the gist is basically that there's a move to require banks to do more of their funding via long-term holdco debt. Here is a puzzling summary: Read more »

Chesterfield County officials, Lucy Corr Village's governing board and staff, and friends and family gathered recently to dedicate Jake's Place, Springdale's pub, in honor of Jacob W. Mast, Jr., Lucy Corr's retired CEO.
Mast spent his career as a long-term healthcare administrator and CEO, serving Lucy Corr Village residents, families, staff and members of the community for nearly 30 years. He inspired the development and construction of a state-of-the-art healthcare center, the first unit for dementia residents in Virginia, licensed Assisted Living Facility, Adult Day Center, and finally, Springdale, independent living in a full service Continuing Care Retirement Community. Health Center Commission Chairman Dr. David Beam thanked Mast for recently serving as interim CEO. Mast's wife, Kay, and his two sons, Rob and Chris, and their families attended the dedication. Mast has an undergraduate degree from Randolph Macon College and graduate degree from Virginia Commonwealth University, and is a decorated veteran, having received the Bronze Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, and Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry while serving in Korea and Vietnam.

George Roloff, guilty in bizarre crime spree, inspired by fears of witchcraft?
George Roloff was arrested nearly three years ago. So why has it taken so long for a jury to convict him of 37 counts in a bizarre crime spree that only ended after an hours-long SWAT-team standoff? Because there were questions about his competency to stand trial owing to reported "fears of witchcraft, spells, demonic actions and other obviously paranormal things."Big photos and more below.
Continue for the details, including photos from the scene and the very strange arrest report.
Just past noon on July 10, 2011, according to the affidavit, 911 dispatch in Mesa County, on Colorado's Western Slope, received a report about a man outside a Bradley Sinclair gas station in the community of Clifton. The suspect, later identified as Roloff, was said to be holding a shotgun on a woman at one of the pumps.
Randy Abeyta, an acquaintance of Roloff's, soon filled in the cops about what was going on. He said Roloff had shown up at his door a short time earlier and said he needed a ride into town immediately -- and given the man's frazzled appearance (he was allegedly covered in sweat), Abeyta quickly agreed.In 2011, a witness provided the following photos of the standoff to KKCO-TV.
As they climbed into his car, a 1980 Cadillac, Abeyta noticed that Roloff's backpack contained a shotgun, and he gently suggested that he stow it in the trunk. But as the report notes, Roloff "was not interested in moving it" -- and he proved it by proceeding to load the weapon, point the barrel at Abeyta's side and order him to get more gas for the Caddy.
At the Sinclair station, Roloff dismounted and allegedly demanded car keys from three separate men, menacing them with his shotgun to underscore his urgency, before turning his attention to Allison Cripe, who had driven to the station along with her mother, age 98. She told investigators she'd just finished filling her tank when Roloff approached her and said, "Give me your keys. They are not worth your life."
Cripe turned down this request, since her mom was in the car. But the elderly woman was no pushover. She fought with Roloff when he reached into the passenger compartment. Between her resistance and his inability to find the keys, which Cripe had already spirited away, Roloff eventually grew frustrated and walked off.Courtesy KKCO-TV
His next destination was 614 Jackson, Unit B, which was occupied by Sara Ann Hill and her three roommates. She heard a knock at the door, and when she answered it, she found Roloff rocking his shotgun. The report notes that he ordered the men with Hill to empty their pockets, then ordered one of them to fork over -- you guessed it -- the keys to his vehicle, promising to "kill this motherfucker to prove I'm serious" if they weren't provided.
Later, however, he displayed at least a modicum of understanding. "Sorry, it's been one of those days," he's quoted as saying.

Saddle up your bike, fill the water bottle and ride the roads and trails of Vermont's beautiful Northeast Kingdom. Since you're so close, you can also explore the terrific biking trials of the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

You'll discover breathtaking mountain views and summits, scenic outlooks, waterfalls, amazing wildlife, pure unspoiled countryside and forested land. Here are just a few of our favorites suggestions:
White Mountains National Forest
The Northeast Kingdom
- Kingdom Trails
- Popular Hikes in Burke Mountain area
- Victory State Forest — One of the wild ones in the Northeast Kingdom, this state park wraps around the Victory Basin Wildlife Management Area, which has the Moose River Flowing through it and an open bog. The real gem, though, is 2,000 acre Darling State Park, home of 3,267 foot Burke Mountain. Amazing bird watching. The hike to the top on the West Peak Trail has been a well-kept secret.
- Willoughby State Forest — A stunning expanse: the peaks of Mount Pisgah and Mount Hor rise vertically out of Lake Willoughby. Besides the lake, Willoughby has several crystalline ponds that are superior trout waters. Hiking in Willoughby is great. There are over 12 miles of hiking trails, mostly in the easy to moderate range. Many of these trails connect to trails that cross private land on Wheeler, Bald, Haystack and McSherry mountains. We recommend the Mt. Pisgah South Trail, which reaches two overlooks with views out to the White Mountains and points in between. But perhaps the real drama of this trail is found along the cliff tops above the lake-not for acrophobics.
- Groton State Forest — The second largest contiguous landholding by the State of Vermont. A year round trail system connects most major points of interest. All of the trails are in the day hike range, with the longest being a mere 3 miles. Search out the Peacham Bog Natural Area, which is one of the largest bogs in Vermont (great for wildlife viewing). Groton State Forest has seven state parks attached to it, offering a full range of outdoor recreation facilities, including campgrounds, boat launches, and swimming spots.
Horseback Riding
…a spectacular way to enjoy the beauty and grandeur of our area. Rides are available year round. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced rider, the perfect horse and trail awaits you. Advance reservations are recommended — we will gladly make them for you.

This adventure is not to be missed. You don't need experience. We can arrange a terrific guided tour for you! Check out this Snowmobile Tour Add-on Package.

Future conversion market seems strong
According to Jon Howey, director of sales, aircraft conversion, for EADS EFW, the present conversion market is difficult, and the outlook may not change in the near future. EADS is halfway through an 18-plane deal for DHL, replacing its fleet with A300-600 conversions, but other than that, the immediate conversion prospects are slim, he said. Long-term prospects, though, are a different thing altogether.
Howey sees a lot of demand coming in the form of mid-size freighters, and believes the coming replacement needs will be great. FedEx still has a big fleet of MD-10s, and there are large numbers of A300-600s and A310-200s and 300s still on the market.
"All of those will come up for replacement sometime in the not too distant future. They're concentrated in the integrator fleets, but they're quite popular in general cargo as well," he told Air Cargo World. "So we would see a strong replacement need. "
Regionally, Howey said conversion growth will come from emerging markets. The Asia-Pacific region will fuel demand for a number of conversion types; China, he said, could need large planes for domestic and regional use. Finally, there is increasing demand for A330-200 conversions in Latin America.
Growth will also come in the form of new conversion types. Howey said the A330-200F is doing well in the market, and its coming conversion program will benefit from this solid level of sales. He senses that the coming program will "compliment the family," mirroring the A300-600 and its corresponding conversion.
So though the conversion market seems a bit off right now, Howey is hopeful for improved prospects in the coming months. While growth might not come quickly, a ramp up in conversions seems likely.
"There will always be a need for conversions, and there will always be a need for new freighters. Dynamics will change over the coming years," he told Air Cargo World. "It's really replacements and emerging market growth that we see for the future."
