There is a wildflower in Northern Nevada looks a lot like common dandelion. The leaves are much different, much more narrow. The flowers could casually be mistaken for a common dandelion. The seeds even have a bit of dandelion like fuzz.
What is it called? |

Malacothrix glabrata about the eighth or ninth down the page. Looks enough like a dandelion that it is called a Desert Dandelion. I was looking at some in a vacant lot recently. They have really attractive flowers. If I remember correctly from last year look rather ugly when they start to go to seed, |

Based on my eleven years clean and sober, I share my personal interpretation of a deadly illness known as addiction. My degree on the disease of addiction came from knowledge acquired through pain and growth through life. While on my quest to enlighten how I rid myself of all drugs and alcohol, I visited correctional and treatment [facilities] and talked to groups of men and women of all races and ages. The recurring themes of our conversations were, "Drugs and lifestyle, had been their downfall." I must say that it felt good being able to go into a prison then walk back out the same day. Not having to live with those slamming steel doors day after day for years of my life was a blessing. Every time I went inside a prison, I thanked God that this was not my story.
Then the sting of prison slapped me personally, with my husband and son going into prison. Drugs and Lifestyle had boldly taken over my home with and without my permission. I make that statement because I saw the power of the lifestyle consuming the two men in my life. I vividly recall the big guns, then even bigger guns, that were in what was supposed to be a secret place inside our home. Question: What is a 'Lifestyle"? Well, this is my personal interpretation based on what I have witnessed in my fifty-six years of life. Lifestyle, "The way a person will act or portray him or herself to be in a day-to-day existence." Thus, there are many types of lifestyles. I feel safe to say that my eleven years clean and sober is a lifestyle for me. Except the lifestyle inside this book, talks of a force powered by destructive, self-centered ways of life. It has no respect for the well-being, property, or safety of others. A kill or be killed mentality between people on the street, also known as "the block." This type of lifestyle took out the men inside the pages of this book. That insatiable hunger for fast money, power, and the look of a baller was what they went after, not considering the price that they could ultimately pay for it.
My husband, and I felt compelled to write this book of fiction, "If the Drugs Don't Get You the Lifestyle Will"! We spent several hours together on weekend visits at the federal prisons, talking about some of the dumb things that he went through and saw others do while out there on the streets, submerged in the lifestyle. Thus, we collaborated to create a heartfelt chilling story of sex, drugs and a lifestyle that has manifested itself into a book of recovery. For all that would like to know, my husband was and still is in recovery. Five years clean did not stop the prison doors from opening up to him and locking him away. Drugs are what he sold, and the lifestyle was what gave him the mindset to think it was perfectly fine to do so. Unfortunately, it was also the lifestyle that told him it was okay to carry the big .45 caliber on his person, which gave him a feeling of imaginary power, as if it were legal.

HELENA – The Legislature's new Republican majority leaders outlined the GOP's agenda Wednesday, saying they'd focus on tax relief, boosting the state's economy and revising education — but they also said they want to work with incoming Democratic Gov.-elect Steve Bullock.
"We look forward to a fresh start and a good beginning," said incoming Senate President Jeff Essmann, R-Billings. "We want to work in a positive fashion to address (the) issues that we think are key in Montana."
House Speaker-elect Mark Blasdel, R-Somers, said the focus will be jobs and the economy — "anything we can do to facilitate job growth and open the door to new businesses, and the businesses that are here now."
Essmann, who won a razor-close vote against current Senate President Jim Peterson, R-Buffalo, to become Senate president for the 2013 Legislature, outlined four issues that are tops for Senate Republicans: balance the state budget, demand "government accountability," provide "permanent tax relief" that will help business, and ensure that the state's school system "rewards and expects achievement from its students."
It's time for lawmakers from both political parties to sit down and work on issues that are important to Montana, Essmann said.
Republicans have a 29-21 majority in the Senate and a 61-39 advantage in the House. In last week's election, the GOP increased their edge by one in the Senate and lost seven seats in the House.
Essmann said he looks forward to meeting with Bullock, a Democrat, although they have not yet had that opportunity.
Republicans often have had a tempestuous relationship with Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who last session vetoed numerous Republican bills.
Essmann said he believes there are issues on which Republican legislative leaders and Bullock can find common ground, particularly on the economy.
Legislative leaders are eager to see Bullock's specific proposals for the state, he said.
"Obviously, it's only been eight days since the election," Essmann said. "We'll be bringing forward our proposals as well. And we hope to have an open and honest communication between both sides of the aisle in the Senate and with the House as well and, of course, with the executive branch."
Blasdel said Republicans feel they can work with the governor without having to compromise their principles, and have a "constructive conversation."
Another big issue will be how to deal with oil-and-gas development in Eastern Montana, and its impact on local governments and schools, GOP leaders said.
Rep. Austin Knudsen, R-Culbertson, the incoming House speaker pro tempore, said Eastern Montana is happy to pay its share of oil-and-gas taxes, but that state government needs to "help us maintain the machine" of development.
"The more success they have, the more success the whole state has," Blasdel said.

Decoupaged Mosaic Wine Bottle
Change the look of your space with an upcycled glass bottle. It's never been easier to go green - simply create a Decoupaged Mosaic Wine Bottle using scrapbook paper and an empty glass bottle. As you'll see from this project, glass bottle craft ideas are anything but trashy.
Love wine bottle crafts? So do we! For more projects like this one, check out our collection of 10 Things to Do With Old Wine Bottles + 16 New Craft Tutorials.
- Empty wine bottle, labels removed, washed and dried
- Scrapbook paper in two different patterns
- Americana Crystal Gloss Enamel paint (Pink)
- Gloss Mod Podge
Choose a color paint that coordinates with your scrapbook paper. I chose Crystal Gloss Enamels because they dry where you can see through them.
Paint the bottle with one even coat of Crystal Gloss Enamel paint. Set aside to dry.
Cut scrapbook paper into 1-inch squares. To make the paper easier to apply, dip it into water and place on a paper towel. Moistening the paper will soften it up, allowing it to "grab" the curve of the bottle.
Apply Mod Podge to a small section of the bottle. Paint a small amount of Mod Podge to the back of a scrapbook square and press onto the bottle. Repeat all over the bottle, varying the different patterned papers randomly.
When all papers have been applied to the bottle, use Mod Podge to give the entire thing a generous (but not dripping) top coat.
- Allow bottle to dry completely.

I did not get many figs this past year from my celeste and brown turkey plants which are growing in the ground in my backyard because the first frost arrived before they were ripe. So I wanted to plant some early producers and I traded cuttings with some friends. I received some fico nero, nero nobili and some Chicago Hardy cuttings for my celeste and brown turkey cuttings. I started my fig cuttings on 3/1/2014. Just took a look at my fig cuttings on 3/7/2014 and the fico nero buds had started to break out. Since the basement where the figs are located is about 63 degrees, I used a mini greenhouse (plastic bottle) to raise the temperature to an acceptable high and keep the humidity high around the cutting. The nero nobili has not yet started to break its buds out. I believe the nero nobili cutting that I initially planted did not have enough buds on it, so I put a new cutting in the same pot on 3/9/2014 to see if that one will do any better. The nero nobili cuttings may be too dry. I started all over with the chicago hardy cuttings. The dog got into the pot and chewed the one Chicago hardy cutting that I potted. I started three more chicago hardy cuttings on 3/9/2014. The mini-greenhouse keeps the humidity high around the cuttings; you can see droplets collecting on the bottle sides. Since the cuttings are under flourescent shop lights, the temperature is raised but not extremely so. I have not measured the temp but it looks like it is about 75 degress. |

I recently read on this forum about the fig pinching technique to induce an earlier production of figs in zones where an early freeze normally gets the figs before they have time to ripen. I understand that it is best used on younger trees since older ones will produce fruit without use of the technique. I am going to use it on my 2 year old celeste and brown turkey fig trees. As I understand the process, for new growth branches in zone 6/7 after six leaves have appeared you pinch off the end of the branch causing the plant to put more energy into fruit production on the limb vice limb extension and later, but more abundant fruits. In this way you get earlier, larger, but less figs. If you are in zone 5 you would apply the pinching after 4 or 5 leaves appear. I will let you know haw it works. |
I have 30-year-old and 12-year-old Brown Turkey figs that look pretty bad after this past winter. Are anyone's in ground figs showing signs of life? |
My brown turkey fig tree, which has been in the ground uncovered for years, looks as if it's dead. This was a terrible winter...I am not giving up though. |

My texas everbearing (rated for zone 8) appears to be budding from the ground up! I'm in the Richmond area. |
Thank-you both for your replies. I forgot I'd posted here already and just queried again. My son reminded me that the new brown turkey was older than I thought and what about the nameless green? Probably a goner for sure! I'll let you know what happens. |
So it's June already and my two little fig trees (I'm honestly not sure what variety) are not showing any signs of life. I'm in Fairfax, and it's certainly been hot enough that they should have started budding. They're about 3ft tall and were grown from cuttings I took from my dad's tree two years ago. His trees had been going strong for years - even reaching the second story of his house! - up until now. Sadly, I think this crazy harsh winter killed both of ours :( Did yours ever come to life again?? |
I'm down in Fredericksburg. I planted a brown turkey in a completely unprotected spot last mother's day. Died down to the roots this past winter, but started making a comeback. We first noticed new growth over a month ago. |
I don't have a fig, but my neighbor has one (I think it is brown turkey) and it looked dead until about 2 weeks ago. Now there are shoot coming from the main trunk a small side sucker almost at ground level. The rest is definitely dead. For reference his tree is on the NE side of the house, gets morning sun and is less than 3 feet from the house so has some protection. I've seen a few others in the neighborhood that look about the same and completely dead. We're in Arlington, VA. |
My older Brown turkey is still sprouting off the larger trunks. In the last couple of days I've seen new growth about 5 feet off the ground. |

I am in Fairfax. As an update, my celeste and my brown turkey fig trees were killed to the ground but sprouted new growth from the roots. I am going to use the pinch method to see if I can mature some fruit before the first frost. My texas everbearing that I had in pots and overwintered in an unheated shed were killed by the cold. Regarding my propogating efforts: All of my chicago fig cuttings died; my nero mission cuttings never sprouted (probably dead on arrival); I have transplanted two fico nero plants from their pots to the backyard and they are doing fine. I also planted on fico nero cutting directly into the soil and it seens to be growing. |

"Nice idea, but very confusing"
Seems like a decent idea about having differnt tables of minefields stacked up against each other. Has a nice feature of showing where possible bombs are when you highlight a number.
Unfortunatly this game is very, very confusing. The help file is a simple txt file, with no pictures and the description of how to play it is less than adequate. Maybe a tutorial with pictures should be made for it.

Earthquake Near Zarand, Iran
For eleven seconds on Tuesday morning February 22, 2005, the ground shook in southern Iran as a 6.4-magnitude earthquake rattled the mountainous area near the town of Zarand. According to news reports, more than 500 people have been killed, and tens of thousands of people have been affected in dozens of scattered villages, many of which were almost completely destroyed.
This image shows the topography around the town of Zarand, in the Kerman region to the west of the Lut Desert. Two lines of mountains run southeastward through the scene, separated by a broad valley, through which the Shur Ab River flows. The approximate location of the earthquake's epicenter is marked with a red dot near image center. The highest elevations in the scene (white) are found on the summit of Kuhpayeh Mountain, near the right center edge.
Iran is very seismically active. The land there is being compressed by the coming together of the Arabian tectonic plate to the west and the Eurasian plate to the east-northeast. Much of the compressional force of the two plates pushing together is released by mountain-building and rock-folding processes in the Zagros Mountains, which overlook the Persian Gulf, to the west of this scene. However, in the central-east portion of Iran, the pressure is released at numerous "strike-slip†faults, places where the plates grind past each other in a sideways motion, rather than over or under each other. The town of Zarand is located along one of several northwest-southeast slip faults in the region north of the town of Kerman.
This image shows elevation data acquired by NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) on the Space Shuttle Endeavour, launched on February 11, 2000. SRTM used the same radar instrument that comprised the Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR) that flew twice on the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1994.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Grateful patients and other U.S. donors increased their charitable contributions to health care facilities and organizations in 2006, but the 11.5 percent increase to $7.9 billion was substantially lower than the 16 percent rate of increase to $7 billion reached in 2005, according to a new "Report on Giving" issued today by The Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP).
"Philanthropic dollars are being eroded and the health care system is being stressed by a 'perfect storm' of problems for nonprofits," warned William C. McGinly, Ph.D., CAE, president and chief executive officer of AHP. "These problems range from new proposed health coverage of uninsured and illegal immigrants, and razor thin financial margins, to unnecessary HIPAA/Privacy Act rules that impede access to generous groups of donors, and attempts in Congress to challenge and change the tax-exempt status of nonprofit health care providers," McGinly said.
In the U.S., contributions from individuals represented 60 percent of all contributions, about the same as the year-earlier level, while the portion contributed by U.S. businesses, including corporate foundations, increased to 20.4 percent in 2006, up from 18.2 percent in 2005. Non-corporate foundations represented 12 percent of funds raised in 2006, down by 0.7 percent from the earlier year. Other giving sources, including hospital auxiliaries, public agencies, and civic groups, were responsible for 8.1 percent of the 2006 total, down from almost 10 percent in 2005.
In Canada, the report showed that Canadian contributions were up only
3.3 percent to $1.23 billion in 2006, compared to an increase of 11 percent
to $1.2 billion in 2005. Individual givers provided 52 percent of funds
raised in Canada, down from almost 61 percent in 2005.Canadian businesses,

I'm a recent college grad starting a gardening software business. I'd love to get some input from gardeners. If you don't mind, please take 60 seconds to fill out this survey I made: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/C3CKPJP Of course if you have questions and would rather ask or give feedback here then please do so! |

This Survey takes you to to a site that may be legit for this gentleman's needs, but then it puts you on a site that wants you to join, give your email address etc. And you have to think a bit as to how to get out of it. Be cautious. |
- Posted by StevenTheMan 7a (My Page) on Sat, May 12, 12 at 16:24
surveymonkey is just a free survey service that I used. I'll post the questions here if you're bothered by whatever they asked you to do. 1. Why would you be interested in using online software that tells you what to do each day to grow a successful vegetable garden? What are some reasons you would hesitate? 2. This software works like a gardening adviser. What information would you expect it to give you each day? 3. How much do you know about gardening already? |
- Posted by agnespuffin (My Page) on Sat, May 12, 12 at 16:28
Thanks, the site might be 100% OK, but neither it or you need to know the email address. I answered all your questions there, but I didn't answer all of those that the site requested. Did you get my answers? Good luck with you project. It could be very good for some. For those of us that live in areas that require variations, Maybe, maybe not!! |

AMSTERDAM - 10 July 2014 - Viewing pirated content is much more prevalent amongst young people, while willingness to access pirated content generally decreases with age, according to a new global research from Irdeto, the world leader in Multiscreen, Revenue Assurance and Media Protection solutions. The research revealed that the majority of American (70%) and U.K. (72%) consumers are unlikely to watch pirated content. This is different in Asia and Australia. A much smaller proportion of respondents noted that they were unlikely or extremely unlikely to watch pirated content (40% Australia, 31% Singapore, 40% India and only 9% in Indonesia), leaving a large majority of consumers in Asia Pacific who are open to consuming entertainment through illegal means.
Conversely, 62% of 18-24 year olds in the U.K. and 54% of 18-34 year olds in the U.S. admitted to watching pirated content, a number much higher than older respondents. This highlights that young people are more willing to embrace piracy to get what they want.
The research was commissioned by Irdeto and conducted among a representative sample of over 4,700 adults to understand and address consumer behavior around media content consumption in today's multi-screen world. It uncovered trends in piracy, viewing habits, and service delivery platforms across the U.S., U.K., Australia, Singapore, India, and Indonesia.
Some of the highlights include:
"One of the most interesting findings from our survey was that availability, poor quality, and security issues are deterrents for downloading illegal content," said Bengt Jonsson, Vice President APAC, Irdeto. "This is a clear message to operators to provide high quality content at the right price. This could be a differentiator to remain competitive in a diverse region like Asia Pac."
""The popularity of sports consumption over IPTV and mobile devices is increasing. We are seeing that many operators and broadcasters are focused on initiatives to drive consumer loyalty, particularly around the World Cup," said Richard Scott, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Irdeto. "This research shows that more than 50% of U.S. and U.K. consumers are watching live sports in the home – either on their TVs or on a smaller screen. Broadcasting sporting events in high quality represents a significant opportunity for broadcasters to engage existing customers and acquire new ones, while also protecting their rights to provide live game coverage."
"The laptop and desktop have overtaken the TV as the most preferred device in some parts of Asia. This signals the onset of the multi-screen phenomenon in Asia Pacific. Countries like Singapore tend to be early adopters of technology and the trend is also evident in Asian countries such as Indonesia and India. It is a reflection of how hungry for content the consumers are in this region, and their desire to own and consume content on multiple screens," added Jonsson.

The research was commissioned by Irdeto and conducted in May and June 2014 by YouGov and Populus among a representative sample of 4,721 adults in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Indonesia, India and Singapore. The sample breakdown was as follows:

Reid over moon with Button
Plymouth manager Peter Reid heaped praise on goalkeeper David Button following the 1-0 win over Dagenham.The 22-year-old produced a string of fine saves to keep the Daggers at bay before Rory Patterson netted the only goal of the game three minutes after half-time.Patterson was then sent off in injury time after collecting his second booking of the game but the dismissal did not take away from a valuable three points in the Pilgrims' relegation fight.Reid claimed Button was "magnificent", and added: "He made two crucial saves in the second half. It was a real good performance from the kid. He's a good goalkeeper, people forget he's inexperienced and learning the trade, but he was terrific."

Show Time! The 10 Biggest Concert Events of Jay-Z's Career
The Concert: The Glastonbury Festival in June 2008
The Venue: Worthy Farm in the UK
What Made It So Epic: Jay became the first hip-hop artist to ever headline the British festival. And despite the fact that Noel Gallagher of Oasis and several other critics took Jay to task for the slow sale of tickets initially, the event sold out as usual on the opening day. Jay addressed the situation later on "Jockin' Jay-Z," a song that was supposed to appear on Blueprint 3. "That bloke from Oasis said I couldn't play guitar," he rapped. "Somebody should have told him I'm a fuckin' rock star!"

TUCSON - Police tell us that on July 21, 2014, at 9:51 p.m., a woman was robbed at gunpoint by two suspects, while in the carport of her home in the 3300 block of North Country Club.
She told police the suspects took the victim's vehicle and fired a shot during the robbery. The victim was not injured and called police. Officers located the vehicle and attempted to make a traffic stop, but as the vehicle came to a stop in the area of Oracle and Roger, the driver exited and fled on foot. The driver was arrested after a brief chase. As the driver was getting out of the vehicle to run, the passenger moved into the driver's seat and fled in the vehicle. Officers followed the vehicle into the county, where the vehicle eventually hit with a curb, disabling the vehicle. The driver attempted to run away, but was caught on arrested.
During the investigation, a handgun was found inside the vehicle. The gun did not belong to the victim and the caliber matched the shell casing found at the scene.

Both suspects were booked into the Pima County Jail. Harvey was charged with robbery, armed robbery and aggravated robbery.

innocent until proven guilty or is it guilty until proven innocent? She reported it over 6 months ago and now they decide to arrest him? She was semi-sedated...hmm? On top of that they invite other people that may have been violated by him to contact police?

The Neuroscience Of Decision Making: Deciphering How The Brain Chooses And Decides
Although still a young field, research in "decision neuroscience" has exploded in the last decade, with scientists beginning to decipher what exactly is happening in our brains when we are making choices, whether big or small.
In fact, early findings suggest it is possible to parse out the complexity of thinking into its individual components, and in the process determine how they are integrated as we ponder and decide.
Recently, researchers in decision neuroscience participated in a discussion about their work and the genesis of this cutting-edge field. During the dialogue, they discussed how decision neuroscience hopes to greatly advance our understanding of the brain, and in turn our understanding of mental disorders ranging from depression to schizophrenia.
"For many psychiatric disorders, patients that are symptomatic are frequently making poor decisions about numerous things throughout the day, such as how they handle their anxiety and other emotional states," said C. Daniel Salzman, MD, PhD., Department of Psychiatry and Neuroscience and Kavli Institute for Brain Science, Columbia University School of Medicine. "If you've ever had a friend or family member with depression, you can see they are not making decisions the way they normally do. So there clearly has to be dysfunction in the neurocircuits of psychiatric patients affecting their decisions, and we need to understand this better in order to come up with better treatments for mental disorders."
As pointed out by another participant in the dialogue, this research is already deepening understanding of these disorders.
"Our new knowledge about the cellular and circuit mechanisms of working memory and decision processes in the brain has already had a significant impact on clinical studies of mental illness," said Xiao-Jing Wang, PhD., Department of Neurobiology, Physics and Psychology; Director, Swartz Program in Theoretical Neurobiology; Kavli Institute of Neuroscience, Yale University School of Medicine. "For instance, addiction is fundamentally a problem of making bad choices, resulting from impaired reward signaling and decision-making circuits in the brain. Understanding these circuits has become key to linking genes and molecules with behavior in clinical studies."
Daeyeol Lee, PhD., Department of Neurobiology and Kavli Institute for Neuroscience, Yale University School of Medicine, stated one important goal is understanding the neurobiological basis for individual variability in decision making.
"When people face the same decision, they tend to make different choices," said Lee. "Some of that is due to their different experiences and learning environment. There are also fundamental genetic differences that give rise to different decision making styles. Getting a better understanding of the neurobiological basis for those individual differences in decision making will have enormous implications. It can explain a lot of problems in our society, including differences in the tendency to develop psychiatric illnesses."

AA Group, the roadside recovery and insurance division of Acromas Holdings Ltd., will meet with lenders tomorrow as it seeks to raise the loan portion of its 3.4 billion-pound ($5.2 billion) refinancing, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.
Syndication of the loans will be targeted at banks, said two of the people, who asked not to be identified because the transaction is private. The debt being offered totals about 1.8 billion pounds, one of the people said, after AA Group sold 1.3 billion pounds of bonds this week.
Acromas, controlled by private-equity companies Charterhouse Capital Partners LLP, CVC Capital Partners Ltd. and Permira Advisers LLP, is refinancing as it seeks to separate AA Group from Saga, bond marketing documents show. The AA was acquired by Permira and CVC funds in 2004 and then merged with Saga, controlled by Charterhouse, in 2007 backed by 4.8 billion pounds of borrowings, according to Permira's website.
The bank facilities will have equal seniority with the 625 million pounds of Class A notes and rank before 655 million pounds of Class B debt, according to a Standard & Poor's report. S&P rated the Class A notes BBB- and graded the Class B securities BB. The loans and the Class A bonds total 2.4 billion pounds, S&P said in a separate report.
Paul Green, a spokesman for Folkestone, England-based Acromas, declined to comment on details of the financing.
Deutsche Bank AG, Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, Bank of America Corp., Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd., Barclays Plc, HSBC Holdings Plc, Lloyds Group Banking Plc, Royal Bank of Canada and UBS AG are arranging the loans, the bond documents show.

The Nike Green Mountain Running Camp offers the perfect mix of learning, training and recreation. Programs for both high school and middle school runners offered.
GMRC welcomes Mike Henderson, Princeton University, as our Camp Co-Director. Many consider Handerson to be one of the top young Division 1 coaches on the East Coast. Henderson brings Division 1 experience to our staff and will add fresh insight to our program.
Our camp, in its 41st summer, will be held on the gorgeous 1,300 acre campus of Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, NH, just 13 miles south of Dartmouth College. KUA offers miles of beautiful, wide running trails, right from campus.
Since 1976, he has held a national certification as a Fitness Instructor from the American College of Sports Medicine. He has presented several hundred professional papers and lectures for academic and popular audiences.
He currently serves as a Special Contributor for Running Times magazine with a monthly readership of over 250,000 serious runners. His newest book "Heart Rate Training" was published by Human Kinetics in the Spring of 2011.
Coach Benson ran competitively for over 45 years with personal bests of 1:52.7 for 800 meters and 4:19.8 for the mile. As a master's runner, he ran 36:06 for 10k, 17:22 for 5k, 4:52 for the mile and qualified for the Boston marathon with a 3:09:05 PR at age 40.
He coached at the U of Florida from 1969 to 1979 as head X-C coach for seven years and head T & F coach for three years. For 16 years, 1993 to 2008, he served as Community Coach at Marist School (a 2A size private school) in Atlanta where his girls and boys teams won 16 state class 4A X-C championships and individual runners won a total of 20 state titles in x-c and track.
He also founded and has directed the Smoky Mountain Running Camp for 40 years.
Twice, Coach Cohen has been honored by the Connecticut Coaches Association, in 1994 and 2005 as the Outstanding Coach in Cross Country. He holds coaching certifications from the National High School Athletic Coaches Association, Road Runners Clubs of America, and USA Track and Field. He is proud of the numerous former runners that have gone on to become successful collegiate and post-collegiate runners. In fact, a number of his former athletes have followed in his footsteps and have become successful interscholastic coaches as well.
Coach Cohen's association with Green Mountain Running Camp began over twenty years ago when, at the request of team members, he searched for a summer running camp program for them. He found that Green Mountain offered the benefit of great running venues, the security and benefits of a college campus, and a knowledgeable staff that provided a solid educational opportunity for its runners. Initially, he visited the camp to observe the program and was impressed with what he saw. This was not merely a training camp but so much more. The following summer Coach Cohen joined the camp as a staff coach and lecturer and over the years has worked his way "up the ladder" to become the Co-Director.
Running stats include a 2:33 New York marathon PR , a 4:36 masters mile and 7th place finish at the masters national cross country championships. He is also a founding member of the Taconic Road Runners running club in south eastern New York. As an active runner he competed for both the Taconic Road Runners and the Westchester Road Runners.
Coach Apple is the girl's cross country coach for Pittsfield High School, MA. She is an avid athlete who has run marathons and several 200 mile relay races. Marathon PR 3:18. In addition to running, she bicycles, canoes, and is a snowshoe racer – winning the 2011 National Snowshoe Racing Masters Gold Medal.
Coach Apple has been an RN for 25 yrs, currently working in OR as a robotics nurse, and also performs wellness and cardiac rehab nursing. Her coaching philosophy is closely tied with her profession as a nurse, instilling a love of a healthy, active lifestyle, and proper nutrition. At camp she coaches during the day, is one of the camp nurses (on-call 24/7), and brightens everyone's days with her wonderful sense of humor.
As a competitor in high school on Long Island, Charlie recorded bests of 50.6 for the 440 and 1:56.6 for the 880 and was the Nassau-Suffolk CHSAA XC champion in 1962. Following a five year lay off after college, he raced the roads, hitting bests of 55 minutes for ten miles and a 2:39 marathon.
From 1983 through 1986, he was assistant indoor and outdoor track coach at Ledyard High School in Connecticut, and in 1996, he took over as head cross country coach. From then until his retirement from teaching in 2006, his boys won six Class MM championships, including five consecutive titles from 2000 to 2004. Four of those teams went on to represent Connecticut at the New England Championship, where their best finish was 2nd in 2003. In 2002, Ledyard captured the State Open title and Charlie was named Connecticut Boys Cross Country Coach of the Year.
In 2008, Charlie resumed his coaching career at the Whitinsville Christian School in Whitinsville, Massachusetts. Presently, he coaches the middle school boys cross country team in the fall, assists with the coed indoor track team in the winter, and heads the boys track team in the spring.
Coach Olsen coaches at Thomaston High School in Connecticut. In XC, he has had six state class champion teams (four boys, two girls) and 11 Berkshire League champion teams. He has coached athletes to 68 BL All-Star, 26 All-State and six All-New England performances. In track & field, he has coached 18 individual class champions and two CT State Open Champions.
Coach Paul T. Smith has coached both Boys and Girls Cross-Country teams at Bolton High School in Bolton, Connecticut for the past thirteen years. His teams have won four class state championships and been runners-up five different times. Twenty-four of his runners have earned All-Conference Honors while twenty have earned All State Class honors, including three individual class champions.
Coach Smith embraces the idea that hard work in running produces results like no other sport can. He derives great enjoyment from pushing himself and his runners to set challenging goals and striving to reach them regardless of ability level. He has been a coach at Green Mountain Running Camp since 2005.
KUA is also the alma mater of our beloved Olympian, Andy Wheating. Wheating competed for the US in the men's 800 m at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing and in the 1500 m at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. He remains a professional runner for Nike.
Andy took the time to congratulate us on the move:
"Just wanted to pass along my congratulations on moving the Green Mountain Running Camp to Kimball Union! I'm thrilled to see the camp move to my high school alma mater and look forward to working with you and the rest of the staff in making this transition smooth and enjoyable. I know change to a long running tradition is tough, but I'm confident that KUA has the qualities to spark new tradition without losing the fun and excitement of the old.
It was at KUA where I discovered the simple joy of running. No stress, no pressure, no expectation, just the excitement of running through the woods. It's that excitement I know the kids will feel when they run the same trails, the simple joy of running.
I look forward to working with everyone! Thank you again for choosing KUA!
See you on the trails,
Andy Wheating"
Previous guest speakers such as Jeff Johnson provide our campers a personal look at the great Steve Prefontaine's legendary and inspirational life, and also at his University of Oregon coach, the late Bill Bowerman, who developed the model on which we base our training runs: hard, but smart workouts. We teach young runners how to train intelligently.
Whether you are a rookie, veteran, or championship caliber athlete, pick one, two or all three of our great weeks to see why the best and brightest high school runners return year after year. You'll be challenged by our trials of miles, but also enjoy our miles of smiles.
2014 Guest Speaker Lineup:
Speakers in Previous Years Include:
In addition to our featured speakers, we have staff coaches and guest experts such as Dr. Hank Glass and Dr. Robert Rinaldi, who present the mini-topics during our daily Breakout Sessions on topics that range from biomechanics to physiology to psychology. In short, our runners learn everything they need to know to improve and run at their best.
One of the unique features of Green Mountain Running Camp is our AP XC Class, which is a separate hour of instruction offered within the regular camp day curriculum to veteran campers and elite runners. Coach Roy Benson covers college level instruction on the art & science of successful distance running. To participate in this class, you must have attended your third year of camp or preparing to serve as team captain in the fall or spring. No need for advanced sign-up, Coach Benson will provide further details during camp registration.
We have modified our high school program and created a separate curriculum and activity schedule that will be offered concurrently with the high school schedule. We feel extremely confident that this will provide a satisfying experience for these younger runners.
This is an instructional camp and not a week of "normal" training. The middle school runners run twice a day, but is instructional based running. Think of a playing lesson with a golf pro. The intent is not necessarily to shoot your best round but to gain insight and knowledge on how to be your best over time.
Individual coaches are welcome to attend our workshops. We also encouraged coaches to accompany their cross country teams and attend the Coaches Workshop covering the latest in training and racing techniques. The workshop runs concurrently with the youth camp session. Call to ask about our workshop discount for those attending with their teams.

Green Mountain Running Camp was definitely the highlight of my summer, and if you are a serious runner you SHOULD come to this camp. You'll not only learn and understand so much more about the sport of running, but you'll also learn and understand more about yourself as a person and find your TRUE identity. It's also very fun and you meet so many friendly and great new people that share the same passion for running as much as you do.
Green Mountain was the best week of my summer. The staff members are incredibly knowledgeable about running, hilarious, and friendly. Everyone there was so welcoming, campers and counselors alike. The runs were always in a beautiful setting and paced just right-I pushed myself and definitely grew as a runner, (especially on that lake run!) but it wasn't so fast that I couldn't keep up. Also, I really enjoyed the vast variety of delicious food at the dining hall. There wasn't a moment I didn't love at Green Mountain Running Camp and I will never be able to say enough positive things about my experience. If you're considering this camp, I more than highly recommend it. Like me, you'll be thankful you went.
We do a lot of learning, a lot of running, and have a lot of fun, and somehow the camp manages to bring all three of those elements together for a very productive and fun week. Parents, if your son or daughter is serious about being the best runner that he or she can possibly be, this camp is IT! Every bit of this camp is worth the price..
Great! I had a great time, met new people who I'm still talking to, and feel so much more experienced and safe going into a new cross country program! They focus on all aspects of running. You don't just go to camp and run, you learn the technique and all that goes with the sport. The GMRC provides focus on the little things that can improve performance. Camp was a great experience! GO!
It is good at incorporating everything to do with running. We run, hear from guest speakers, learn about running, and just get fully immersed in the culture of running. I found the week motivating, with great instruction & instructors- some former Olympians!. Camp got me really pumped up for the season, gave me lots of self confidence. Beautiful runs and fun creek soaks!
The GMRC provides a great place for training and also has a good staff to educate and make it a really fun environment to make you just love and appreciate the sport. My favorite soak was at the lake. It was big and a great way to end the run, not to mention the view was beautiful. I am motivated for running and look forward to making an impact on my XC team.
I have done the morning yoga and water workouts over the years. I find that I really enjoy them and that the morning yoga makes me feel better if something aches and the water workouts were great and just right when I had shin splints last year. They gave them a nice break from the morning run. At GMRC you get great workouts, hear great talks, hang with an amazing staff, participate in fun activities, and in general it was just a phenomenal week.
This was my first overnight camp and my first time away from home for an extended period on my own. I was nervous beforehand, but loved every minute of the camp. The speakers and their testimonies were inspiring, the running was challenging and motivating and the recreational time was fun and memorable. In fact, when I returned home I felt a void and missed the camp and my friends so much. It took me a few days to get back to reality. I can't wait to return next year.
As a serious runner, both years I have gone it has been the best week of my life. You get to be around fun people and really can do whatever you want; it's a completely judgment free camp, it doesn't matter how fast you are. Everything is fun and it is the most beautiful scenery I can imagine, from the morning runs to the breakouts to the afternoon runs and guest speakers there is never anything that I don't look forward to and enjoy.
Nike Running Camp is a new experience, when you get there everyone is like a family to you. The counselors are so welcoming and are hilarious. Going to camp gives you a new adventure and a new part of running that you can imagine. Creek soaks are great and especially the Lake Run. The breakout sessions aren't boring, you learn so much more about running. I advise you to go the Nike Running camp because it's something you don't want to miss out on.
At Green Mountain Running Camp, I learned to push the limits of my running ability. This camp surrounds you with friendly staff and fellow runners. I was unsure of going, being as this would be my first overnight camp and it was so far away from everything I was used to. I must say, I felt so welcomed by the smiling faces everywhere! The instructors were friendly and patient, and I was happy with my experience with my running group! The camp also had great activities. I enjoyed playing soccer and volleyball with my new friends, plus the activities that you could just watch with fellow campers. All in all, I had a great experience at camp and can't wait until next year! I would highly recommend this camp to any runner. There is something for everyone, and there are many opportunities: both for running and for finding new friends!
Green Mountain Running Camp is the best camp that I have ever gone to. Most of my friends think it is boring to just run but the experience at this camp is like no other. There are great activities and things like the lip singing contest and the talent show to entertain you. I feel like it was a taste of being on my own and a taste of the college life.
Green Mountain Running Camp is a great camp that really helps prepare runners for their upcoming cross country and track seasons. It is located in a beautiful area with wonderful trails that offer a challenge for runners of all skill levels. The counselors and junior counselors all come from very impressive running backgrounds, and answer any and all questions with much expertise. Going into GMRC, I had not run very much, and didn't appreciate the sport as much as I do now. Green Mountain Running Camp really inspired me to train harder, run longer, and have fun while doing so. I am very glad that I went to Green Mountain Running Camp, and recommend it to any 14-18 year old runner; regardless of their skill level. GMRC was one of the highlights of my summer, and I really hope to return next year.
I honestly think GMRC was the best week of my life so far. The information they teach there will help you in ways you didn't even know you needed help. Not to mention the staff is hilarious and fun. GMRC is the perfect atmosphere to train, learn, and have fun while you are surrounded by teammates, friends, coaches and counselors all with a common love of running.
Green Mountain Running Camp was a very fun camp for teammates to bond before the season begins and was a great workout! The runs were very fun especially the creek soaks! I became closer friends with my teammates (seeing as I am a lot younger then them) and I became friends with everyone in my dorm! They were all very nice people and green mountain was such a great social activity and I would definitely go back! The runs were very enjoyable and a great workout! I am in better shape then I was before coming to this camp!
This camp is for runners of all levels - beginners to elite. Be ready to run this is not a "get in shape camp" The break out sessions provide a great variety different techniques you can apply to your running. I learned a lot on how to improve my form and race technique. It was nice to be in a place where everyone shared the passion of running - that made it easy to make friends. Looking forward to next year!
GMRC was one of the highlights of my summer. It was not as intimidating as I thought it would be-the staff really knows what they are doing, and how to work with runners of all levels. I also learned a lot in the breakout session such as how to best run up hills and how to mentally prepare for races. I would highly recomend GMRC to anybody planning to run XC.
Green Mountain Running Camp is my favorite camp I have ever been to. Being around so many people that all love running made the experience so cool. This camp helped me become a much more efficient runner than I was before it. The speakers and counselors were so informative and taught me a lot of helpful things that I will always keep in mind during my running career. Not only did I become a better runner from GMRC, I also made a lot of new friends that made everything even more fun!
