Hooked on Dulcimers!
Long ones, Short ones, Skinny ones, Fat ones...
The Mountain dulcimer, building, drawing plans and playing this instrument, or the Longneck dulcimer consumes my life like an addiction...... Hi, My name is Wendell and I am retired and living in the hills of Arkansas. The perfect place to practice my hobby; far enough away from everyone so as to avoid getting pelted with rocks for all to frequently hitting bad notes. Here are a few examples of my creations. I Like to think of them as creations, not construction projects. Thus to date no two have been built alike. ( RIGHT CLICK ON PICTURE FOR BETTER VIEW ) Hopefully each successive instrument will in some way be better then the last. I build mostly for myself, family and friends. I have built a few custom orders. Also due to the problem of having too many around the house I have let a few go on e-bay. At the present time my passion is for what I call my "Longneck" dulcimer. Fun to play and the ability to "sound out", with other instruments.
PLANS !! Finally!! available, here !Plans for standard Mountain Dulcimer, My Longneck dulcimer, and for my "A'Line style dulcimer."
These are offered in free for downloading zipped package on the Plans and Tips page .

But according to a letter I received, one of the best of those events needs our help to make its summer appearance. For the last seven years, there have been free concerts on the green in front of the Winona State University Performing Arts Center prior to the Great River Shakespeare Festival plays.
On sultry summer nights great musical acts from all over performed on a stage set up on the WSU green, surrounded by lush landscaping, gurgling fountains, the university library, student union, classroom buildings and the performing arts center.
Winonans and visitors parked around campus, some popping their trunks to get folding chairs, others prepared to sit on a blanket on the grass. Some were dressed for the air-conditioned theater and a night of Shakespeare, while others were in shorts and flip-flops, all come to hear the music and maybe partake of the picnic food offered by Mugby Junction. Some in the audience were intent upon the music, some swaying and tapping feet. Others couldnt help visiting with neighbors or friends they spied who had come from Rochester, La Crosse, points between, or from as far away as the Twin Cities. Kids chased each other around the green, grandmas fanned themselves in the shade, Shakespeare Festival actors and directors came out to hear the music before going on stage themselves. When the music ended, the GRSF audience wandered towards the theater and others carried their chairs back to their cars, all smiling at the memory of a summer night of music free.
In the past, musical acts were imported from all over the country by Theatre du Mississippi (TdM), the same folks who bring you the Frozen River Film Festival and other concerts and plays during the year. The Great River Shakespeare Festival underwrote the cost of the musicians. But budget constraints at GRSF, and the addition of a musical The Fantasticks to the GRSF lineup for this summer, have left the concerts funding to the responsibility of Theatre du Mississippi.
Some of the musical acts have been contracted for many months, well before the change in funding became apparent, but TdM is hoping that the generosity of the community will enable them to stage their entire Concert on the Green series this summer. So far, according to Diane Stevens of TdM, the response from their fundraising letter to a limited number of people has been very successful. But there is still a way to go to fund the entire series of concerts.
Heres the proposed lineup:
June 24, Rusty Swing Set (local band)
June 25, Café Accordion Trio (regional)
June 26, Mike Munson (local)
July 1, DitchLilies (regional)
July 2, Beet Root Stew (local)
July 8, Mr. Rowles (Greg Wolfe local connection)
July 9, Dan and Maureen Sherman (Winona connection)
July 15, Poor Bennys (regional)
July 16, Rachael Ryan (local)
July 22, Stacy Hughes & The Not Just Jazz Quartet (local)
July 23, Al Townsend Band (regional)
July 29, Hot Sauce (local)
July 30, Pam McNeill (Winona connection)
According to Diane and TdM, any donation, large or small, will help fund the concert series. So if you were there in the shade in your shorts and flip-flops, or stopped on your way to a Shakespeare play, and want to see the Concerts on the Green again this summer, you are invited to donate. You can donate to a specific artist or band, or let TdM use the donation where it is most needed. Your donation will be publicly acknowledged or you may remain anonymous. You may also honor an individual with your donation.
Make your checks payable to TdM Concerts on the Green and mail by May 20 to TdM, P.O. Box 647, Winona, MN 55987. They will send you a receipt.

High Point Regional Health System has voluntarily relinquished its Level III Trauma Center designation. This decision was made after receiving feedback from a site visit from the N.C. Office of Emergency Medical Services. Although the level of trauma care at High Point Regional was noted as being "very good†to trauma patients, hospital officials made the decision to voluntarily relinquish the designation after the review identified areas needing improvement. Most patients won't notice a difference in our operations,†said Tammi Mengel, vice president and chief nursing officer at High Point Regional. "This visit showed no problems with the level of medical care delivered at our facility. The site visit revealed some lapses in documentation that we have already started addressing.†The documentation deficiencies are both the result of turnover in key positions and the need to re-evaluate some clerical and administrative processes. Other opportunities for improvement in documentation involved making sure certain continuing education was properly documented. The report mentioned several notable strengths including: quality patient care, dedicated staff, modern facilities and equipment. High Point Regional remains committed to providing exceptional health services to the people of this region. Working with physicians, nurses and other emergency department staff, hospital leadership is confident these issues can and will be resolved. The hospital will explore all options as it relates to reapplying; however, a timetable for that has yet to be determined.

by Kristen Schaub Your ticket to thrilling movie effects Here's a surround speaker that'll really put you in your favorite movies. The RS-42 II delivers rich, lifelike sound that adds dimension to the action you see on-screen. Its angled driver design spreads ambient effects over a diffuse soundfield, completely enveloping you. This design also helps this speaker produce great sound even if you place it in a less-than-ideal location. Building on Klipsch's previous Reference speaker line, the Series II models have updated drivers and a new crossover system for even more spacious sound. You'll enjoy dynamic surround sound that enhances your movie experience, from soft sounds like falling rain to the roar of a dragon flying overhead. Plus, the stylishly curved grille helps soften its appearance in the back of your room. Horn technology for "front row" sound All Reference Series II speakers feature a redesigned version of Klipsch's famous horn-loaded tweeter. Because high-frequency sounds are more directional than bass frequencies, it's especially important to target them right toward your ears. Klipsch places their titanium tweeter inside a flared opening, known as a "horn," which disperses the highs evenly across your listening area in a 90°-wide, 60°-high pattern. With their Series II speakers, Klipsch has redesigned the shape and slope of their famous horn enclosure, so your movie soundtracks and music will sound more "open," with improved dynamics and efficiency. All in all, you can count on powerful, "front row" sound that's crystal-clear at all volume levels. Check out the rest of our Klipsch lineup, and build a complete Reference Series II home theater system. And don't forget to add a Klipsch subwoofer for high-impact bass. Got wire?

very happy Written By Jason, searcy, ar on Wednesday, March 04, 2015 Very happy with these surrounds. I own 2 pair. They will handle all the power I want to give them. They are easily mounted. And easy to place. They are very forgiving with the location because the wide displacement range of the speaker. I recommend these go anyone. Pros: Sound great and powerful Cons: Large
Rs2 Written By Anonymous, Santa Ana, CA on Monday, February 02, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm realy impressed with the clarity and dimension of these speakers. They are unobtrusive while sonically very present-the sound is bright-as all klipsch speakers. Pros: Lots of punch in a small package
Klipsch Reference RS-42 II Written By RS, NJ on Wednesday, January 07, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I initially ordered two RS-41 II, which were good. However I wanted it liitle bit more bass to compliment by two Heresy's, a SW-10 woofer, a Klipsch KV2 Center, and a Denon AVR-1913. I should have orignially listen to Brandon to go with the RS--42 II. My basement area is 15x30, but the theater section being 15x15, with the back area with my pool table. The RS-42II's filled the complete area with the excellent Klipsch beautiful sound. And to believe I had two Realistic Optimus Surrounds. I did not know what I was misssing. Great Customer support-all around. Pros: Great Sound Dispersion. Nothing like that Klipsch Sound. Cons: None
Great Sound Written By Nick K, Moorhead, MN on Monday, December 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I added these to my 7.2 sound system and they do an excellent job of dispersing the sound to really make it sound like whatever you are watching has come to life! Pros: Great Sound Sleek Design Well Priced Cons: None
Klipsch RS-42 II... Written By Jim D, Rochester, NY on Thursday, May 22, 2014 These do the job. I'm currently using them for rear surrounds, but used a pair for front mains coupled with my Klipsch subs for a while. They are very efficient and performed perfectly. Pros: Good sound for the money. Nice sound stage due to the set up/directions the speakers face. Cons: A bit heavy - purchased sturdy brackets for wall mounting.
Probably Great for a 7.1 or 9.1 System Written By Anonymous, ID on Wednesday, March 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The promise of the diffused sound of these speakers prompted me to try them in place of the Klipsch 51iis I had initially purchased as rear speakers in a 5.1 setup. For the most part, I discovered that simply raising the height of my 51s improved the soundstage over these multi-directional speakers. The 51s have larger mid/bass drivers, so mine may have been an unfair comparison, but the occasional improvement in ambient sound effects was more than offset by the loss of three-dimensional soundstage. Were I to run a 7 or 9 channel system, however, these would be the speakers I would add. Pros: No obvious point-source to the sound. Look cool. Cons: Costly.
Great Surround Speaker Written By J D, Queensbury NY on Sunday, January 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are top notch speakers. They produce a room filling sound and look beautiful. This upgrade in speaker is worth the money and can't see spending more with any other company. Pros: Great sound, high end look..great drivers Cons: none
Klipsch Reference RS42 Written By Tim, Des Moines on Sunday, November 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are excellent speakers. Bought them to replace some smaller old surrounds I had previously used. I have the matching reference set now. Very clear and crisp sound. Would highly recommend these. Pros: Very clear, powerful, deep sound. Integrity of speakers sounds excellent with high and low volume. Cons: None
Klipsch Reference RS-42 II Written By Mike, PA on Saturday, January 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Using these with RF-52s, an RC-52 II, and a KEF 25b driven by an Onkyo SR608. The RS-42 IIs were the last piece to be upgraded, replacing Infinity Primus 160s. The difference is incredible. I was somewhat worried that the smaller woofers in the RS-42s would be noticeable but quite the opposite is true. For mounting, I went with the Sanus EFSATB stands. These stands work nicely with the RS-42s but beware that the speakers are just under the max weight of the stands. Also, the RS-42s mounting holes are 3 inches apart and the EFSATB stands do not come with a mounting plate that fits. I used the flat plate and the double sided tape to mount and the result is surprisingly sturdy. If you have a Klipsch reference series system, don't hesitate to get the RS-42s.
RS-42 II Speakers Written By Jared, Troy, ny on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchased the RS-42 IIs to go with RF-52s, RC-52 II, and RW-10D system driven by the Marantz SR-5002. The speakers sound blends in perfectly with the other Reference speakers. Sound is crisp, clear, precise and blends in beautifully. The odd shape of the speaker sends sound in two directions which really helps with the surround experience. We have them mounted ~5 feet high on the back wall. The RS-42 IIs do not over power the front sound stage but rather add that additional dimension. I would certainly recommend these speakers to owners of a Reference front sound stage. Pros: Sound quality, each speaker projects sound in two directions Cons: Expensive!
Great speakers... Excellent sound quality... A++ Buy Written By Chris S, San Antonio, Tx on Friday, February 04, 2011 Just picked up a pair of these today and I could not be more impressed with them. Sound quality is excellent, very crisp and precise with good highs and mids. Have these paired with a set of RF-52 II, and a RC-52 II, and a 1500w definitive sub, and denon receiver. These speakers were the perfect ending pieces to my system. Absolutely love klipsch quality and performance and would recommend to anyone shopping for awesome home theater quality audio. At first glance these speakers are pretty big but once I got them home and on my walls they really dont stick out as much as I thought they might which is good.... Definitely not like the RC-52 and RC-62's which are look like they weight 30lbs and are as big as my receiver!! Overall great speakers... def buy you wont regret it !!

When a company makes the decision to purchase marketing tools it is imperative that the company make the decision regarding what type of tools they wish to purchase. Promotional products have traditionally been some of the most effective marketing tools because they provide direct benefit to the customer while also allowing for the customer to own a subtle marketing tool. When customers have this tool in their possession they are able to use the product but also see the logo of the company that handed the product out. When they see this logo they are subtly directed to contacting that company to check out their products and services. Great examples of a promotional item that will accomplish all of these goals are promotional calculators.
It is imperative that any promotional item that is used, be effective and be worthwhile as a product for the person who receives it. Most people own a calculator. In fact, nearly all business people own a calculator because they want to be accurate while crunching numbers and going through financial documents. Because so many people use these products, they make excellent marketing tools. Any product that is so popular is sure to be used by the people who receive these excellent tools.
A person will use promotional desk calculators every time that they sit down at their desk if they work in the financial industry and they will use it weekly even if they do not work in financials. People use calculators for many daily tasks and they generally keep them on their desks in case they need to use one. Because logo calculators are so useful, they also serve as excellent marketing tools. Logo office calculators will contain the logo of the company that handed out the calculators and every time that the person sees their calculator or uses their calculator; they will be inclined to contact that company. These subtle marketing tools are greatly admired by marketing companies because they are so effective at influencing people without being a bold statement. They are very subtle and yet still carry a very powerful message. Because they are so effective they will generate a very high return on investment. A company will never regret their investment to buy a lot of desk calculators with their custom logo printed on them. They will be able to be used as promotional items for many years to come.

What you can and cannot compost
If you're new to composting you may reason that anything that decomposes is suitable for the compost, but there are in fact a number of things that you shouldn't add to your scrap pile — particularly if your scraps will end up in a compost pile in a city or residential area. Things should never be composted:Cooking oil or greasy foods: This stuff smells like food to animals and insects and can effect the moisture of the compost.
Meat and dairy products: More pest magnets you don't want to introduce into a compost pile.
Diseased plants: You absolutely do not want to transfer fungi or bacteria to the food or plants that end up growing in the compost. It is a better idea to just trash them.
Weeds: Plants such as dandelions and ivy will probably find a loving home in the compost pile rather than decompose.
Heavily coated or printed paper: Recycle them instead. The chemicals used in printing can compromise the compost.
Sawdust: If you're considering this, you need to make sure that the wood is all-natural and not treated in any way.
Feces and personal hygiene products: Doing this will create a health risk and potentially spread disease.
COMPOSTABLE ITEMS: Acceptable materials include fruit and vegetable scraps, non-greasy food scraps (rice, pasta, bread, cereal etc.), coffee grounds and filters, tea bags, egg and nut shells, pits, cut or dried flowers, houseplants and potting soil.

STOCKTON -- An Aug. 1 preliminary hearing has been scheduled for a man who described himself as homeless in a statement asking to have an attorney appointed to represent him.
Marcus A. Smith, 41, Plainville, has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the May 14 death of Robert M. Foster II. Smith had been living in Foster's rural Plainville residence prior to an altercation that resulted in Foster's death.
Details surrounding the incident still haven't been made public, and Smith remains in the Rooks County jail in lieu of $500,000 bond. Rooks County authorities and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation have refused to say anything about the case.
Hays attorney Paul Oller has been appointed to represent him in the case, upgraded to a charge of first-degree murder June 13.
In his request to have an attorney appointed to represent him, Smith said he was homeless and a "snakeroot digger."
A coroner's report, filed separately in Rooks County District Court, offers preliminary details about the case.
"Initial information indicates that Marcus Smith and Robert Milton Foster II were involved in a physical confrontation, that traumatic injuries had occurred and that Robert Milton Foster II had expired," the report from Julie Siefers, deputy Rooks County coroner, states.
Siefers examined the scene where the altercation had taken place, but the autopsy for Foster was conducted by pathologist Erik Mitchell, Kansas City, Kan.
Her report suggests a possible motive, that of Foster's offer to "come clean" and detail information he had about drug use in the Plainville area.
"The decedent is a well-known drug user/abuser," Seifers wrote.
Arrangements had been made for Foster to talk with an officer the following day.
Before that could happen, however, Smith and Foster got into a fight.
Smith "said he hit Bob several times, that Bob fell backwards to the ground," Siefers report states. "Marcus stated after Bob fell backwards, he noticed Bob was 'snoring.' "
Smith left the house, but returned with a friend only to find Foster unresponsive. Smith then called authorities.

Arizona Cardinals
Ray Horton: 'Unequivocally' could have delivered Norv Turner as Cardinals offensive coordinator
When Ray Horton was a candidate to be the next head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, one of the questions surrounding him was how would he handle the offensive side of the ball.
A defensive coordinator, Horton's strength is stopping teams from scoring -- not getting them into the end zone -- and for a team like Arizona, offensive improvement was the goal of their coaching search.
Well, according to Horton, who took a job as the defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns last week, he would have been able to land one of the NFL's most respected offensive coordinators in Norv Turner.
"Unequivocally," Horton told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Thursday when asked if he could have brought Turner in as part of his staff.
Horton said he spoke with Turner all throughout the process of the coaching search, and he was looking forward to coming to Arizona.
"Yes, and his wife Nancy wanted to come here," Horton said.
Turner, who was recently fired as head coach of the San Diego Chargers, has had great success as an offensive play caller. The 60-year-old took a job as Cleveland's offensive coordinator, where he will be working alongside Horton.
Horton said the Cardinals were aware he would bring Turner in if named the head coach, but understands why the organization decided to go in a different direction. He has no hard feelings towards the franchise, and harbors no ill will.
Still, Horton and Turner should make for an excellent duo on new coach Rob Chudzinki's staff in Cleveland, and it's a combination that could have been formed in the Valley.
"Norv Turner was on Ray Horton's list to come to be the coordinator," Horton said. "We had spoken several times, Norv Turner and I, and he was excited about the opportunity."

During the last week, the blogosphere has been buzzing as old Twitter posts by top artists before their rise to fame have been dug up from the archives. Among the most discussed tweets were very interesting comments by Frank Ocean, who discussed Beyonce's songwriting or alleged lack thereof.
As part of his quest to cure insomnia across the world, Frank Ocean has announced the list of international dates for his California Live Tour. The venture will kickoff on June 27th in Denmark and continue on to The Netherlands, UK, France, Norway, Belgium and Australia.
Everybody has a calling in life but some people take longer than others to find their true purpose. At least, that's what Oprah Winfrey preaches and there are several singers who could benefit from that advice. Specifically, the select few with the potential to be much more successful as songwriters instead of recording artists.
All Frank Ocean needs is a grainy screen, dim lighting and shots of a few tourist spots for people call his work "deep" or "introspective," and he knows it. Such is the case with his new video for "Lost" from his critically acclaimed channel ORANGE debut album.
Chris Brown's new press team deserves an award. Following an entire day of interviews yesterday, the singer-songwriter returned the spotlight this morning on The Breakfast Club and showed off the extent of his media training. Among the topics discussed were his relationships with Rihanna, Drake and Frank Ocean, and the artists signed to his roster.
The 2013 Brit Awards are underway but before you diva head first into the performance footage, let's take a few moments to enjoy the fashion ups and downs of the red carpet. Featuring Justin Timberlake, Rita Ora, Rebecca Ferguson and others, the event attracted some of the biggest names on the UK music scene.
You've seen the red carpet pictures from the 2013 Grammy Awards but now it's time for the real excitement! The show entailed several performances from artists from across the industry, including Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars and Alicia Keys, and we have them all for your viewing pleasure!
It's the biggest night in music, the 2013 Grammy Awards, and the stars are buzzing around the Staples Center in Los Angeles to celebrate their accomplishments of the last year! Kicking off the action is the red carpet fashion showdown and we have pictures of all the fun!
Quick, name five songs on Frank Ocean's 'channel ORANGE' album without looking at Wikipedia. You can't do it? That's probably because you know more about his sexuality than his songs. It's not your fault, though, because the former topic is what he mainly talks about, such as in GQ magazine.
Brandy recently sat down with Rap-Up TV to promote her soon to be released 'Two Eleven' album. However, the the contralto diva chatted about much more than just that record, and shed light on a range of topics that included collaborations with Frank Ocean and Kelly Rowland.

Artist Statement
I have been exploring the image of the white picket fence. In my new work, I have further de-emphasized the image, reducing it to a spare scaffolding of faint lines, darkened just enough to be recognizable. Space is created by juxtaposing horizontal and vertical lines against irregular shapes of collaged paper. These shapes are crisscrossed in all directions with dark, smeared charcoal strokes that help to create the space. The result being a glimpse of the complexity and chaos of human life behind the stable architecture of society.

Just plain white boards surrounding houses in mostly rural and suburban America, but their effect on America as a whole has been persistent and varied, providing protection and peace from the world while at times hiding the pain of the occupants. Beautiful historical work.

Hibernian striker Paul Heffernan has been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign after suffering a groin injury.
The Irishman pulled up with the problem while warming up for the Scottish Premiership clash with Aberdeen on 7 April.
Heffernan will now sit out the final five games of the season, starting with Saturday's trip to St Mirren Park.
The absence of the 32-year-old is a blow for Hibs boss Terry Butcher as his team look to escape the relegation play-off spot.
Long-term absentee Paul Hanlon remains out of action with a knee injury, and while Scott Robertson (knee) and James McPake (back) are both back in training, they are unlikely to feature against the Buddies.

Belgium's Post Office Issues Chocolate-Flavored Stamps
While people in the U.S. are lamenting the news that Saturday mail delivery will soon cease, Belgium's post office has released some great news. The chocolate capital of the world has introduced stamps that smell and taste like the country's premiere product.
More From Delish: Sweet Treats on the Horizon: Chocolate Trends for 2013
Beginning March 25, Belgians can spend 6.20 (roughly $8.25) to purchase five different delectable stamps. Before you complain that you'll never get a whiff, know that the stamps are intended for overseas mail. As far as the taste, "We have added a chocolate taste to the glue of the stamps," a Bpost representative told the AFP. "You can taste when you lick it."

Chocolate experts from Germany, the Netherlands, and that other European chocolate capital, Switzerland, came together with the Belgians to get the dark chocolate flavor just right.

Arcane Brilliance: Which mage spec should you be raiding with? {WoW}
Feb 20th 2011 12:51AM While I can't speak on Arcane's value compared with my gear, as I've gained better gear and reforged everything to crit, my damage has become much more consistent as Fire. Some fights still suck, but I'm typically where I want to be damage-wise. Ignite-munching still throws me into fits of rage when I pop Combustion, though.......

KAMPALA - To show a very different Uganda to that depicted in the viral "Kony 2012" video, Mara Foundation of Uganda has launched "Uganda 2012 - More than Kony 2012" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi1poly673k a three-minute video that comprehensively summarises Uganda, displaying its natural endowment and the vast opportunities that exist in tourism, business and lifestyle. This is to counter the negative impression of the country created by Invisible Children's viral video, which the foundation believes may have damaged Uganda's reputation for years to come.
The foundation credits the "Kony 2012" video with surpassing all expectations in raising awareness of the activities of warmonger Joseph Kony, but says it simultaneously created an impression in the minds of many that Uganda today is unsafe and unstable, whereas the reality is very different.
While the Foundation hopes that the video does not downplay the goal of capturing Kony, it hopes to present a more balanced representation of Uganda that many Ugandans feel they rightly deserve.

Last year farmers planted 149,000 acres to beans, the most of any county. However, yields after a dry summer last year put Marshall County behind Brown County, tops in the State of Kansas in production totals.

Some of you are probably saying that my stories this year are sounding a bit the same. And all I can say is, "guilty as charged!" But that is simply because every month I start a race in a different country and it might be the last time that I race in that country in my life. For me at least, that is kind of scary!
First there was the Tour Down Under in Australia, then the Tour of California. And just last week it happened again when I lined up for the Bayernrundfahrt, the Tour of Bavaria here in Germany. I can tell you it was very weird when I signed in for the last stage on Sunday morning and realized that it would very probably be my last-ever signature on a start list in Germany.
It was actually kind of funny now because the organizer, who is a longtime friend of mine, wanted to do something special for the morning of my last race. So he played "Time to Say Goodbye" from Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. I almost had to vomit because that's such a cheesy and wannabe romantic song! Not my taste at all.
I told the announcer on stage, "Stop this music immediately before I hurt somebody! Please just play 'Hells Bells' instead."
And they did just that! I mean come on, it's not that I am going to die anytime soon. There is no reason to get all teary-eyed and sentimental. And of course needless to say, I covered the first attack of the day and I attacked on the final circuit, only to get caught five kilometers from the finish!
And now I am here at the Dauphiné Criterium, which for me is still Dauphiné Libéré (the original name until 2010), a race I will just never forget! It is one that had a huge effect on my career. It all started back in 1998, in my first year with the GAN team. This was the second big race that I entered, after Paris-Nice earlier in March. And it was a race that changed my life. First we managed to win the prologue with Chris Boardman, who took the yellow jersey.
We were all so happy and proud, because there is no better start a race than by winning the prologue for a team. Myself, I managed something like 25th place I believe. But then at the dinner table that night, my big boss Roger Legeay came to the table. We had a little glass of champagne and then he gave me this off-handed compliment saying, "Bien fait Jens, mais un jour je vais couper les cables de tes freines!" Basically what he said was, "Well done, Jens, but one day I'm going to cut off your brake cables."
Why you might ask, would Roger say something like that? Well because it's always been a problem for me to take a corner in a TT at full speed and full risk, which is a problem in itself when it comes to time trialing. But then I still have yet to crash in a TT!
Perhaps Roger lit a lit a little fire under me, I don't know. But the next day we got an early taste of what would become for many years "The Jensie Show," as I went off on one of my first big long breakaways. And it worked!
On Stage 1 we had to defend the yellow jersey and so my job was to cover the early breakaways. For me, an up-and-coming neo-pro, that was a totally motivating task. So when I saw Max Sciandri jump, I went straight after him. Max rode full gas for about a mile and when both looked back the first time we were gone! The peloton just didn't react. Nowadays it would be unthinkable that no one reacts to the first attack of the day.
So I told Max, "Sorry, I am only here to cover the breakaway and police the first group. I can't ride really with you." He told me that it was okay and we went on riding. But since the peloton did not react, we quickly gained some time. Then my team car showed up and told me, "Ok you can ride a little with him to stay out front." And since I had a better time than Max in the prologue, I knew I would take over the yellow jersey if we finished together. But in the meantime it also meant that other teams would have to control the race if they wanted to bring us back in. So it was a win-win situation for my team.
We started working together and before you know it we have a five-minute gap! Then I guess our team cars got together and had a little chat, you know one that goes something like, "Okay Max can win the stage and Jens can take the yellow jersey!"
Of course, they asked Chris if he was cool with such tactics, but he was. So there we are, out there with a big time gap. And when the sprinters' teams started to chase harder, we just both went flat out. And we stayed away to the finish!
That, along with my win in the Tour of the Basque Country earlier in the year, was one of my first big results. I ended up holding the yellow jersey for a couple of days and finished seventh overall. And perhaps more importantly, the results guaranteed me a spot on the Tour de France squad that year! I ended up losing the yellow jersey on the Mont Ventoux, but it didn't matter really. Just wearing the leader's jersey was a huge result for me and it is a race that's been special for me ever since.
Now in recent years I've done the Tour of Switzerland more often to prepare for the Tour de France. But this year I'm going back to France. The Dauphiné is always a really hard race with killer climbs and even more killer descents! But there are also a bunch of mid-mountain days too. And that's better for old Jensie! I have a long history here of coming out fighting from the bell and there is no reason to change that habit in my last round in the Dauphiné, right?!

Robert Parry (Consortium News, 5/25/09) thinks that "there is no one, it seems, that the U.S. mainstream news media loves more than Colin Powell," and as proof offers "Powell's disingenuous response" to Bob Schieffer's May 24 CBS Face the Nation "question about the ex-secretary of state's knowledge regarding 'enhanced interrogation techniques,' which the International Committee of the Red Cross and virtually all other objective observers say constituted torture": Powell–whom, Parry recalls, "was a member of President George W. Bush's Principals Committee, which oversaw the interrogation policies"–claimed to an unchallenging Schieffer, "to have been kept mostly out of the loop…. He was 'not privy' to the legal memos authorizing the abusive treatment."
Such transparent tripe was left to the renegade Washington Stakeout questioner (and longtime FAIR associate) to take on:
Outside the CBS News' Washington offices after the interview, media analyst Sam Husseini asked Powell what he knew about the torture of al-Qaeda suspect Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, who made false claims linking Saddam Hussein's Iraq and al-Qaeda, lies that Powell then cited in his infamous pro-invasion speech before the United Nations on February 5, 2003.
"I don't have any details on the al-Libi case," Powell responded.
When asked when he learned that some of the bogus evidence had been extracted by torture, Powell said, "I don't know that. I don't know what information you're referring to. So I can't answer."
And when Husseini explained to Powell "that the information had been publicly discussed by Powell's former chief of staff, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson," Powell was reduced to a grade school reply of "So what?" All of which leads Parry to some questions of his own–"Did Powell participate in the Principals Committee?… Did he object to the abusive techniques… that he says 'were judged not to be torture'?–and to a pointed conclusion:
For a Washington press corps that has been up in arms challenging House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's claim that the CIA obscured key details of the harsh interrogations from congressional leaders, it was impressive to see how little skepticism was evinced by Powell's claim of ignorance from his seat on Bush's Principals Committee.

Domain Industry Veterans Team Up To Run .online
Directi, Tucows and Namecheap form a "team of rivals" in bid to manage the .online registry.
TORONTO, March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - As part of its New Generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) program, ICANN has accepted nearly 2,000 applications from prospective registries who would like to manage their own TLDs (letters to the right of the dot).

A Taste of RAW in Australia: Brad's Visit to 'Botanical Cuisine'
March 18th, 2013
Brad's all about making connections and getting to know like-minded people in the raw food world. Before he headed over to Melbourne, we found out about a place there called Botanical Cuisine, and just knew he had to pay it a visit! The company is actually comprised of three separate components. The first is Botanical Cuisine, a line of "gourmet organic sustainable raw vegan foods," the second is the Academy, which offers raw food classes and workshops, and the third is Nettle, their pop up dining venture. We reached out to them, and Eileen Sims, the wonderful woman who manages all of their media, was so welcoming and enthusiastic about Brad's visit.
The two of them set up a time to meet at Botanical Cuisine and Eileen showed Brad around and let him try some of their delicious products! As you can see from the photos, the space is absolutely gorgeous and you can tell there is just a fantastic and incredibly talented group of people behind this venture. Omid Jaffari, the Founder and Creative Director has a particularly fascinating story and view on raw food. We are all so in love with this place, and the only thing that we're disliking right now is the fact that it's not close to us here in the states! Hm, maybe we need to convince them to open the next Botanical Cuisine here…
Make sure to check out Botanical Cuisine's website to find out more about them and support them by liking their Facebook page! And don't forget to use the promo code "australia" to receive 25% off your order at our online store!
Check out the great photos from Brad's visit!
The look and feel of Botanical Cuisine is absolutely beautiful! We love the aesthetic simplicity of the overall design of the company.
They speak our language!
Check out all of their amazing raw products! Ice cream, chocolate ganache, and tiramisu, oh my! (Photo Credit: www.botanicalcuisine.com)
Brad and Eileen pose for a picture while she's showing him around. We have to thank her again for being so welcoming!
Brad said the Tiramisu and Black Forest Gateau were divine. We're not sure about you, but our mouths are watering just looking at it!

Lowering consumer bills, training workers to fill in-demand jobs and balancing the books will be key themes Tuesday when Finance Minister Jim Flaherty presents his latest spending plan.
With an eye on eliminating the deficit in 2015 — in time for the next election — Flaherty's budget must show voters he's taking substantive action to grow the economy with little or no new spending.
With a $3-billion risk cushion built into the budget, some observers say Flaherty could eliminate the red ink as soon as this year — a notion the country's treasurer was quick to shoot down.
"If we really forced the numbers, we might be able to get close to a balanced budget. I've never been a believer in that," Flaherty said Friday.
"I think when we balance, which will be next year, we need to have the confidence of the Canadian people that we are clearly balanced and without question."
The Tories have offered a sneak peak at some of the measures in Tuesday's budget, including $800,000 to help skilled newcomers to Canada find work in their fields or explore other lines of work.
It's believed this could be one of the smallest budgets the Harper government has ever tabled, but Kevin Sorenson, Minister of State for Finance, told 680News that there are still some goodies for consumers.
"We want to make sure that families have an easier time after the budget than they did before," Sorenson said.
The CBC reports the government will be tackling hidden credit and debit card fees, lowering cell phone roaming costs and attempting to reduce the price gap between US and Canadian goods.
Along with that, Sorenson said there will be new infrastructure funding for some major projects.
"(It's) to make certain that the infrastructure for building an economy and building a prosperity is in place
The government will also try to address the problem of youth unemployment although it's not clear if the Conservatives will re-introduce a refurbished jobs grant program, which was a highlight of last year's budget but was quickly rejected by the provinces.
Flaherty said the budget will also outline plans to curb the link between terrorists, organized crime and charities, and take measures aimed at dealing with price differences between Canadian and U.S. goods as the loonie continues to fall.
Some are expecting benefits for veterans, measures on injury prevention and help for Canadians suffering from dementia and related diseases, as well as their caregivers.
The budget may also address the Northern Gateway pipeline project by way of improvements to tanker safety and beefing up consultations with aboriginal groups, as well as spelling out exactly how Ottawa plans to pay for its recently announced reforms to First Nations education.
But making government more efficient and cutting costs wherever possible will continue to be a central budget theme, said Andrew Saxton, Flaherty's parliamentary secretary.
"We've been successful at doing that in the last couple of years, we've saved taxpayers quite a bit of money by finding areas in government where we can improve and so that will continue to be a theme," the Conservative MP said.
Peter DeVries, a former senior official at the Finance Department, isn't convinced the Tories will inject much excitement in the spending plan, choosing instead to keep their powder dry until the 2015 budget.
"The only commitment that the government seems to be willing to fulfil is his commitment to balance the budget in 2015-16," said DeVries, an economics professor at Ottawa's Carleton University.
"It doesn't seem to have anything else on its plate except for that, nor does it seem to want to tackle anything else except for that."
The Tories could then lay out a more detailed spending plan aimed at making good on their previous election promises, such as income-splitting for tax purposes and providing more room in tax-free savings accounts.
Observers point to the timing of the Feb. 11 budget — right in the middle of the Sochi Winter Olympics — as a sign Flaherty will deliver a stand-pat budget designed to bridge the gap between a $5.5-billion deficit and the anticipated surplus in 2015.
Saxton said people shouldn't read anything in to it.
"It's simply a coincidence and I believe that Canadians have the ability to focus on two things at the same time," he said.
Former Liberal finance minister Paul Martin also delivered a bad-news budget during the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics, embarking on a string of deep cuts aimed at lifting Canada from a deep fiscal hole that threatened its economic well-being.
The cuts stifled economic growth and hurt the provinces, forcing those governments to make massive cuts to cherished public services such as health care. But Flaherty insists he won't slash transfers or raise taxes to balance the books.
Left-leaning groups have warned that austerity measures could still do damage to the fragile economic recovery. The International Monetary Fund says the Tories don't have to stick to their deadline if there's an economic downturn.
"Fiscal policy should strike the right balance between supporting growth and rebuilding fiscal buffers," the Washington-based agency said in a recent report.
"If significant downside risks to growth materialize, the federal government has room to slow its planned return to a balanced budget."
The cost of erasing the financial shortfall could be steep. The Tories have already said they'll freeze departmental operating budgets and target civil service benefits, such as sick days and pensions. Procurement at National Defence may be delayed to save dollars as well.
Public-sector unions say it could be months before they know the full details of what those cuts will mean.
"You've almost got to keep your powder dry until you see the budget implementation bill," said Paul Moist, national president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees.
"They're very circumspect about what they plan to do. Putting this budget out at this point in time … when the Olympics is going on, is kind of like announcing the Canada Post end of home delivery the day after Parliament stands down."
Five collective agreements covering about 100,000 members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada expire this summer. Negotiations are still underway for employees at the Canada Revenue Agency and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
The New Democrats question whether the Tories are going to war with unions to save money, or score political points with their party base.
"The people who serve our veterans, the people who collect our taxes, the people who make sure that people get their pension benefits — these are the people we count on to deliver our services in Canada," said NDP finance critic Peggy Nash.
"It will be a very sad thing if they think that somehow it's good for them to be attacking these folks."
Others fear Flaherty will make deep cuts to foreign aid after cutting almost $380 million, or 7.5 per cent, from Canada's $5.3-billion annual aid budget in 2012.
A coalition of non-governmental organizations, including the Canadian chapter of Engineers Without Borders and the Canadian Council for International Co-operation, has launched an online petition urging the government to keep foreign aid off the chopping block.
