MINI Finishes 4th and 5th at the Rally of Spain
The MINI WRC Team was in a celebratory mood at the end of Rally RACC – Rally of Spain. Not only did Dani Sordo (ES) and Carlos del Barrio (ES) and Kris Meeke (GB) and Paul Nagle (IR) finish fourth and fifth respectively, but the MINI John Cooper Works WRCs were also first and second fastest on the Power Stage. While it was Sordo's home event, it was Meeke who took the honour and the three points for being fastest on this final stage. This was the first WRC stage win for the Northern Irish driver and, in fact, he has now scored his first ever WRC points.
The result was helped by an inspired tyre choice at the start of the day. The team's weather forecast showed rain was expected later in the day, and so they chose to ignore what the other works teams were doing and opt for the appropriate Michelin tyres. Both cars left Salou after the mid-morning halt with two soft tyres on the right hand side, two hard tyres on the left hand side and two soft spares. This proved difficult for the drivers on the two long tarmac stages which were held in the dry, but as the first cars arrived at the final Coll de la Teixeta stage the promised rain came. This was vital and gave Meeke the fastest time, Sordo the second and the customer MINI of Daniel Oliveira the fourth. Third quickest was Sébastien Loeb (FR) who assured Citroen of the 2011 Manufacturers' titlle.
Dave Wilcock, Technical Director:
"Obviously we started the day wanting to maintain our positions and keep Sébastian Ogier behind us. On the morning loop Dani picked up a puncture in one of the stages, and that cost 25 seconds so was really close. On the second loop all the weather forecast were showing various options, and it was a matter of which one you chose to believe. When the cars left no one had any idea what the other teams were running in terms of tyre strategy. Our call at the time was it was going to rain halfway through the second stage of the loop, so we took what we considered at the time a safer option and we went for four soft and two hard. We had the wrong tyres for the first stage, and then realised Ford had taken five hard tyres and Citroen four hard and two soft. They believed it was going to stay dry. After the first stage we took a big hit on time, as we were clearly on the wrong tyres. Going into the second stage Ogier's engine let go, which was fortunate. Then fortunately our weather forecast came true and the power stage had rain just prior to the stage start. We were on the right tyre at the right time. We were one or two by a country mile. We just picked up and extra five points for the drivers in that stage. Credit has to go to Michelin for the durable tyre, because even with the soft tyre on the drying stages it was not that bad. Impressive as ever."
Dani Sordo (MINI John Cooper Works WRC No 37):
"It is okay to be fourth, but we lost a lot on the first day on the gravel stages and with the dust. We had hoped the rain would have come a little bit earlier today. For the first two stages we had the wrong tyres and the others had the right ones, then in the final stage we had the right ones. It was fun and a little bit slippery in some places. I am quite okay, but not totally happy as I really wanted to finish on the podium on my home rally, but it didn't happen this time."
Kris Meeke (MINI John Cooper Works WRC No 52):
"That was the perfect end to this rally for me. I knew we had made a good start to the stage, but then knew I had messed up on the last roundabout. I had a quiet word with my engineer, Teena (Gade), in service before the last loop and she was saying just get it home as we will be happy with a finish now. I was so frustrated and wanted to go fast, as I loved the power stage the first time through. To be quicker than Dani on the same tyres on his home patch is something pretty special. Over the whole rally I don't have the experience to compete with the other guys yet, but this shows that when I know where we are going we can be with them."

Having trouble getting recruited, former Newton-Conover basketball player Adrian Powell found a way to play Div. I basketball.
When he finally got his chance and nearly lost the opportunity, the 2008 CVAC player of the year found a way to persevere.

Newton-Conover (10-3, 2-1) tries to keep pace in the CVAC girls basketball standings, facing Bunker Hill (0-13, 0-4).
The Bears (2-12, 2-2) and Red Devils (7-6, 2-1) also square off in boys hoops with the winner earning its third CVAC victory and moving up the ranks.
The Hickory Crawdads, South Atlantic League affiliate of the Texas Rangers, announced the details of the 2012 Hot Stove Banquet to be held on Monday, Jan. 30 at Rock Barn Golf & Spa.Â

There was moderate-strength evidence that procalcitonin guidance did not increase mortality, hospital length of stay, or intensive care unit (ICU) admission rates.
Three studies reported on antibiotic adverse effects; however, the data were inconsistent and imprecise. Two studies reported percentages with absolute differences of -8.2 percent and 2.8 percent, and one study reported an absolute difference of -1.1 days that was statistically significant. The data for this outcome were limited and did not permit conclusions about the impact of procalcitonin-guided therapy on antibiotic-associated adverse events; the strength of evidence for this finding was rated insufficient.

Plans For MLB All-Star Game Include New, Returning Sponsors
Published April 24, 2013
Also today, MLB announced plans for more than $4M in charitable initiatives related to the All-Star Game, in line with prior years. Mets 3B David Wright was named the official spokesman for the T-Mobile All-Star Game FanFest, while former Mets John Franco, Mookie Wilson and Edgardo Alfonzo were named MLB All-Star Ambassadors. A statue program similar to the Statue of Liberty figurines placed around the city for the '08 ASG at Yankee Stadium and re-imagined several times since in other ASG host cities, will be announced in the coming weeks.
N.Y. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the forthcoming MLB All-Star Game will be another in an accelerating run of major sports events in the N.Y. area, including Super Bowl XLVII, the NFL and NBA drafts, the '15 NBA All-Star Game, the opening of Barclays Center and the recurring U.S. Open and ING N.Y. Marathon. "This is further validation that New York is the sports capital of America," Bloomberg said. The mayor added he is not overly concerned about security threats, even with the inclusion of more open fan events such as the Red Carpet parade.

Tom Kiernan
Leadership Position: President, National Parks and Conservation Association NOLS Graduate: 1978 Wind River Mountaineering
Tom Kiernan's Wind River Mountaineering course in 1978 set the stage for a career in environmental protection. Today, Tom is the president of the National Parks and Conservation Association. With 400,000 members, it is one of the largest conservation organizations in the world.
"My NOLS course very much changed my personal relationship with the world," remembers Tom. "The mission of the school has played out to a certain extent in my life because the course ignited in me a desire to work to protect the wild places of the world." Today, Tom guides the NPCA as the organization works to protect and preserve the nation's parks and monuments. "I couldn't have designed a better job for myself," he says.
Although it has been more than two decades since Tom backpacked into the Wind River Mountains, the memories are still fresh. "I remember that two-thirds of the way through the instructors asked us what we'd like to do, what we'd like to learn in the last third of the course," says Tom. "It was really a great experience, because we got to slide into a role of thinking through what we wanted to learn and to design the rest of the course."
The design included a single-day quadruple traverse of several major summits in the Winds that started at dark and ended during the dark, and while it was very hard, "it was just an incredible day," Tom reflects.
Today, Tom is still deeply connected with the school. In 1999, he was given the school's alumni achievement award and several members of the NPCA's board have affiliations with NOLS. Moreover, the lessons Tom learned at NOLS still run through his life.
As the leader of a large non-profit organization, Tom notes that he is continuing to refine and use leadership skills, but NOLS helped him in that role in 1978. "You learn how to lead in different environments, and you learn to broaden your leadership capabilities in those environments," says Tom. "NOLS helped me build some of my leadership skills in a new environment.
"One of the things that one of my instructors advised if there was an emergency was to sit down for a minute and 'smoke a cigarette,'" remembers Tom, citing an old lesson of Paul Petzoldt's. "We are so inclined towards action sometimes, that that reminder from that course wonderfully translates to my work here. It's important to think and then react. With that lesson, which I remember often, I can learn how to lead in times of stress, to make good judgments and to hone my judgment."
Tom looks forward to the time when his children ages 11, 8 and 5, will have an opportunity to take a NOLS course. In the meantime, he gets out into the wilderness of the nation's parks as often as he can, using the camping skills he learned in the Wind River Mountains. He is an avid boater and recently completed a lengthy expedition to the Gates of the Arctic National Park.

PHILADELPHIA -- They shared a tricked-out bus, holing up in the back seats for three-plus hours of nonstop conversation.
The back seats, any elementary schooler will tell you, are reserved for the cool kids. Typically you wouldn't find the Penn State basketball coach there, at least not if the football coach was on the same bus.
But these are different times in the Penn State athletic department. Where once pigskin was king, walking like royalty ...

whooo hoo new thread!
Well way back when with this whole RCMC thing got started, the King would choose names sometimes for people. Or circumstance, and events in the threads would coin phrases, and create names. Then, people began choosing their own names. That's how I got my name. Our Queen's name goes back way before the first RCMC thread. In fact the Queen and our Jester coined their own names in the same thread, and that was prior to the creation of the RCMC.
Clara should be the Queen of Diamonds. She was the driving force behind the Diamonds Threads, and the Gold Club for quite a while. Names can be changed you know.
I guess we make up the rules as we go along.
I started a new schedule that is 3am- 2pm, with my back and everything it put me in a weird place, my sleep was all over the place, after being in front of a computer 11 hours a day it was far from my thoughts logging on the computer, I went from visiting disneyland every week to having to stop for a while, I think subconsciously I was too sad to read Park news or look at all the fantastic pics, but now I am back and already planning a bunch of trips :) Wow that was long, Thanks for asking, Its good to meet you :)
I'd say Josh is the prodigal son of the RCMC, but Josh never did anything wrong, to be the prodigal son, so perhaps The non prodigal, prodigal son of the RCMC.
Prodigal | Easy to understand definition of prodigal by Your Dictionary
What's sad is that 90% of the list never post in here anymore :(
YES!! OK, I got the next one! and that's what we'll title it! LOL
Yeah, I get you, but I think MC helps get me through the points where I can't make it as often as I want...course, MC also makes me go to DLR far more often than I normally would...vicious circle that. Glad you'll be making some trips!
soo THAT's what happend to you Josh, all the sudden u disappeared from the boards.
I have noticed over the years that there are certain MiceChatters that settle into the RCMC, and they draw in a crowd around themselves. I associate it with "holding court". These leaders, as I like to call them have changed, many times throughout the years. Some of the names on that list are people that spent very little time here. Others, logged on lots and lots of hours.
Like Gollum in the movie. Or was that Bilbo?
Time. The answer is Time.

Healy frees sailboat trapped in arctic ice
Posted on July 15, 2014 at 6:53 am
Category: Military, Outdoors, Recent News, Search & Rescue
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 15 seconds

The Coast Guard cutter Healy made a detour from its science mission in the Arctic last Saturday to rescue a sailboat trapped in ice near Barrow.
The Altan Girl is a 36-foot steel boat, trying to sail the Northwest Passage from Vancouver to eastern Canada.
The vessel is Turkish-Canadian, according to The Nome Nugget. The newspaper says the boat's skipper, Erkan Gursoy, plans to sail across Canada all the way to Turkey.
But the boat got stuck in sea ice Saturday, 40 miles northeast of Barrow. Weather conditions meant search and rescue couldn't fly in from the North Slope — so the Coast Guard diverted the Healy to help out.
The Healy towed the Altan Girl through 12 miles of Arctic ice before they reached open water. The cutter's crew did a safety check. Then they sent the sailboat back to Barrow to resupply and wait for better conditions.
The Healy is now back on track with its Arctic research mission, funded by the National Science Foundation.

Tom Selleck's 7 Secrets to a Happy Marriage
Blue Bloods' Tom Selleck shares why he and wife Jillie are going strong after 26 years.
By Cortney Pellettieri
Special Offers
1. Relationships are tricky, but if you are in love with somebody and like them (two different things!), you've got a chance at success.
2. Jillie has boundless energy; I'm a little quieter. It's a good mix.
3. We have separate interests. We don't see "time to ourselves" as a rejection of the other person.
4. We usually sit down to a meal together every day. A lot gets said at the dinner table about our daughter (Hannah, 24), about our ranch. It's good to catch up.
5. There's very little yelling in our home. We both take a deep breath and think before we get mad. Neither of us lashes out.
6. I think I'm pretty romantic. I get up before Jillie and put on the teakettle, so when she gets up, her tea water is hot.
7. The sexiest thing about my wife is her sense of humor her willingness to laugh and embrace life 100%.

So, I bought an EP from the iTunes store (Hot Chip's US Sessions - genius) and popped it onto my iPod (4gig Mini; it's OLD now!). They played just fine for a couple of days, but when I came back to them a coupla days later, they didn't want to play.
On the iPod, they just skip through the song titles and then go back to the menu screen. Is there some kind of 'playing protection' on the tracks that would limit the number of times they can be played on an iPod? You'da thought that, if you've BOUGHT them from the stores, you'd own the files... Curses. Help? |

Is it just those song are are there other songs that are doing the same thing? I've seen this before and it generally means the iPods firmware has become corrupted and need to be restored.

Angelina Jolie at the Syrian Border | Photos
Angelina Jolie Marks World Refugee Day in Jordan
Angelina Jolie held a press conference in Jordan today in honor of World Refugee day. On Tuesday she met with refugees along Jordan's border with Syria and according to the UN Refugee Agency, spoke with the refugees and took notes as they detailed their struggles while escaping the Syrian war. While talking with families who had lost loved ones Angie paused to comfort them, saying, "We can't know your pain." She later said that the purpose of the event was to draw attention to the flood of refugees coming out of war-torn Syria. Angelina also met up with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres, and toured Jordan's Za'atari refugee camp.
Angelina Jolie's appearance in the Middle East comes hot on the heels of her trip around Europe with Brad Pitt and their children while Brad promoted his new film, World War Z, earlier this month. She walked the red carpet with Brad at his premieres in London, Paris, and Berlin, but did not join him when he left for the United States and Asia. Aside from her refugee trip, Angelina is back in the headlines again after breast cancer survivor Melissa Etheridge called her decision to get a preventative mastectomy "fearful." She later clarified that she didn't mean to object to Angie's decision, but she felt that it wasn't a "brave" decision.

The Alpine (or Highland) Copperhead, Austrelaps ramsayi, is variable in colour and pattern, ranging from pale brown to black, always with prominent white edging on the scales of the upper lip. It has 15 mid-body scale rows, a single anal scale and single subcaudal scales. Adults grow to about 1m long.
Alpine Copperhead (black form)Photographer: Peter Robertson / Source: Wildlife Profiles Pty Ltd
This snake prefers reasonably damp habitats, near streams or swampy areas. It is common in the higher altitudes throughout eastern Victoria.
This snake is active both day and night and feeds on small vertebrates, including frogs, lizards and small mammals. Females give birth to up to 30 live young in mid to late summer.
Alpine Copperheads are extremely dangerous and capable of inflicting fatal bites, but they are not usually aggressive and bites are uncommon.
If bitten on a limb, apply a pressure bandage, immobilise the limb and seek medical advice immediately. If bitten elsewhere, apply continuous direct pressure to the bite site. Do not wash the wound, as the venom on the skin can be used to identify the appropriate antivenom.

My primary work is at a Greek Bank. A few years ago, our family decided to renovate my father's family stone house. It is a property of 150-years old with unique local architectural characteristics. After a few years of quite hard work, we managed to restore it and transform it to a vacation property of high standards which leaves its guests with the best of memories. We feel very proud of this.

We headed over to Eastern Beach on Sunday 26th for a friends birthday get - together. On arriving I was glad to see the Esplanade cafe so close so once the kids were settled I headed over to grab 4 x coffees for me and friends. The cafe had 1 x group of 6 eating and another table waiting so didn't think the coffees would take long, so I ordered 4 x coffees and waited....and waited. After 15 minutes I asked how long the coffees would be, as I did this a man on crutches who had been sitting at the bar next to where I ordered said to the waiter, "get somebody to f**king help on this machine..". My lukewarm coffees arrived a few minutes after this. I asked for a carry tray to be told that they didn't have them. I can only assume that the man on crutches was the manager/owner however at no point did he acknowledge me or apologise for the delay. One other thing, they are the smallest 4.50 coffees I have ever had the misfortune to order in 14 years if living in Auckland. Avoid at all costs!!!
I've had one breakfast and two dinners at The Esplanade, found the food great, service friendly and the atmosphere lively and inviting, although a waitress did get a coffee and hot chocolate mixed up once, but they were super apologetic and fixed the situation immediately! The food presentation is faultless and I ate the perfect steak there on Friday night, so what's not to love?
With its prime spot on Eastern Beach, The Esplanade seemed like a great choice for Sunday brunch on a blustery Summer's day, perfect to watch the 40+ kite-boarders playing in the surf. Its stream-lined modern decor and great wall art ensured comfortable surroundings whilst we perused the menu and ordered our coffees. The service was pleasant enough but the food was disappointingly average (particular when the price is taken into consideration!). When paying $4/glass for juice, I would expect freshly-squeezed OJ and grapefruit juice but I recognised the sweet concentrated taste of a supermarket branded juice... hmm! The pancake stack wasn't much better - the pancakes did not appear to be made in-house (another supermarket brand similarity with hot cakes here!) and the bacon was under-cooked (not in a "not-crispy" kind of way, but in a "not-cooked" kind of way!). When paying nearly $20 for my brunch, I expect more than off-the-shelf hot cakes, a few diced apples/pears and some under-cooked bacon!The Eggs Benedict itself wasn't too bad (how can you go wrong with a muffin, poached egg, wilted spinach and smoked salmon?!) but it was smothered in hollandaise sauce! Now I know that the very nature of an Eggs Benny is the hollandaise and I like my hollandaise, but this was swimming in it! A little less, or the sauce in a wee jug would have been preferred and made the meal much more pleasant. And how was the coffee? If I'd ordered a cappuccino, then it would have been fine. But when I order a Flat White it's because I don't like froth and the very nature of a Flat White is that it's 1/3 coffee espresso and 2/3 hot milk with a splash of froth for decoration! This was most definitely a cappuccino (ie. 1/3 coffee espresso, 1/3 hot milk and 1/3 froth). I would suggest that some barista training for their staff is in order! Altogether, our trip to The Esplanade was a disappointing affair for a local cafe/restaurant that I had high hopes in.

Helium has been hard to get for some, and certainly the consumable gas is more expensive for welders than it used to be. The bad news is that this may be the case for some time.

One Little Victory: Victim of Idaho Falls Police Riot is Vindicated
William Norman Grigg
Victor Madrigal, who was attacked in his Idaho Falls home by a thugscrum of the city�s �finest,� has been acquitted on charges of disturbing the peace, resisting arrest, and assault on an officer. Madrigal and his brother, Delosanto, were two of several people who were assaulted or otherwise terrorized in
a police riot last Labor Day weekend during a child�s birthday party
a familiar setting for episodes of police violence here in Idaho
Among the other victims were a pregnant woman who was shoved by Officer Clark Lund � the individual who provoked the violent melee (see the photo above) � and the Madrigal brothers� 79-year-old mother, who was shoved by a police officer after seeing Delonsanto tasered in the living room of the family�s home.
Justifiably outraged by seeing his mother being battered by one of his captors, Victor � who was handcuffed and seated �reflexively sprang to his feet to come to her aid. In doing so, his head brushed against the arm of Officer Eric Rose, one of the consecrated beings who had invaded his home. That act, dishonestly described as �head-butting� the armed and armored aggressor, was the �offense� that gave rise to the �assaulting an officer� charge. The police also lied by claiming that Victor �grabbed� Rose�s arms, despite the fact that he was handcuffed at the time � something made clear by a cellphone video of the incident.
The police had arrived at about 11:00 PM following a complaint by a distant neighbor who had made it plain she didn�t like the Madrigal family. None of the next-door neighbors had expressed any concerns about the birthday celebration. The IFPD officers, led by Clark Lund, barged into the backyard of the Madrigal home (rather than knocking on the front door, like civilized people), then needlessly escalated a problem that could have been solved by a simple request.
When Victor � who described to me (and documented) several episodes of harassment by the Idaho Falls Police � was told he would be issued a citation, he expressed frustration over his treatment.
�If you don�t like it, you know how to leave,� sneered Lund, a remark that had unmistakable overtones of ethnic hostility. Lund then said he was leaving, and Victor said the officer was free to go. At that point, according to several witnesses, Lund called for backup, grabbed his Taser, turned back, and demanded Victor�s ID. When Victor moved to comply with that demand (which
he was not legally required to do
), Lund grunted; �You�re under arrest!� shoved a pregnant woman out of the way, strode into the living room, and tasered Delosanto � whose only offense was to be between Lund and his brother.
Victor with his son, daughters, and mother
Local media accounts of the abduction of Victor and Delosanto
carried the mugshots of two large, apparently angry black men
and uncritically retailed
the IFPD�s charge that they had �fought� with police
. One of the family�s neighbors, upset with the misleading coverage, persuaded the Post-Register newspaper to do a follow-up story reflecting the victims� perspective on the episode. That, in turn, prompted
IFPD Chief Mark McBride
to write a libelous
op-ed for the Post-Register newspaper
in which he retailed unsubstantiated gossip about the family from a conveniently anonymous �source.�
The local government-aligned media treated Chief MacBride�s puerile little screed as the last word on the matter. However, the story published in Pro Libertate was picked up by Joyln Thomas of East Idaho News, who gave it prominent and effective local coverage � and confronted a testy and impatient Chief McBride about it on the air.
Believing that it would be possible to bully the victims into compliance, Idaho Falls City Attorney Randy Fife offered Victor and Delosanto probation and a short stint in a cage in exchange for a guilty plea. When I interviewed Victor in his home last September, he pointed out that he had done nothing wrong, and promised that he wouldn�t accept a deal. In defiance of reasonable expectations, the jury in Idaho Falls was willing to admit the truth, rather than ratify the lies told by the IFPD. Delosanto�s trial is still pending, and there�s reason to hope the prosecutor will simply drop the matter, as he damn well should.
�I would say to people here that if they think they never have a chance to fight against IFPD, they can,� Victor told the Post-Register following his acquittal. �If I were to take a plea deal, I would do some probation, spend some time in jail and pay a fine for something I didn�t do. People think they are never going to win, but they can. Just look at me.�
