Now we've heard it directly from Glenn Beck's mouth: "I am not a journalist—I am a conservative. I am much more of a libertarian." Nowhere in there is the word progressive included. Shudder to think! Because as we all know, the path from progressivism leads straight to China.
How are those poor, downtrodden and hurting health care executives supposed to recover from ... billions in profits? Double-digit percentage hikes for the captive audience known as their paying customers? Captain Moneybags brings his "Daily Show" camera crew to investigate ... (continued)
Ah, if only former Rep. Eric Massa truly was the "ray of sunshine" Glenn Beck was so keenly wishing for ... before Massa actually showed up on Beck's set and dashed the Fox News host's hopes of mining Massa's tale of persecution at the, er, hands of naked Rahm Emanuel for all it was worth.
Um, what's the deal with Sarah Palin doing standup on "The Tonight Show"? Next thing you know, she'll be pitching her own TV show around Greater L.A. Now that would be ... oh, never mind. Jon Stewart has some advice from one seasoned comic to this particular amateur: Maybe she should quit!
Credit card reform is great and all, but there's another problem that legislation can't exactly remedy: Americans' supersized spending habits. Oh, and since Congress gave banks nine months of lead time before enacting the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act, those wily financial institutions were ready with a set of new tricks to part customers with their hard-earned cash.
Last weekend's big right-wing clusterf summit meeting, CPAC 2010, brought out the bright, white stars of conservative America, many of whom conjured up some creative labels for their enemies on the left, including this gem from Mitt Romney: "Liberal neo-monarchists." Huh?
Even though the U.S. military's top brass specifically called this week for the "don't ask, don't tell" policy to be repealed, that didn't stop certain Republican congressmen from putting on an impressive show of jackassery in response. Winning top honors among that latter group, at least in Jon Stewart's book, was Sen. John McCain.
Now that Bill Gates doesn't have to run one of the world's biggest companies, he has more time to devote to a few of his favorite causes including, say, trying to revamp the school system at home and fight hunger abroad—you know, just hobby material. Here, he tells Jon Stewart about his post-Microsoft life, as well as how he learned to tweet just last week.
Why is the U.S. in the dire financial straits it's in? Well, "Comeback America" author David Walker, who was formerly the country's comptroller general and head of the Government Accountability Office, has a few ideas about what led to our "dysfunctional democracy" and he lays it all out in this clip from "The Daily Show."
Talk about aftershocks: The politically charged commentary flowed freely from certain media-friendly sources following Haiti's giant earthquake, and according to Jon Stewart's assessment, Rush Limbaugh is missing a key organ, Pat Robertson needs to watch his "pie hole" and Rachel Maddow isn't very good with the whole timing thing. Watch and learn, pundits!
Don't worry—everyone can see those trails you'll observe around Jon Stewart in this "Daily Show" clip. It's not just you. But speaking of weirdness, consider the possibility, which Stewart advances here, that Sarah Palin is actually quite brilliant for mobilizing an entire news network to help her "set the record straight," as Bill O'Reilly puts it.
Gosh, Brit Hume has been hit with some angry e-mails since he proclaimed on national television that Tiger Woods needs saving by one J.C. (whose name, Hume cleverly notes, causes "all hell" to break loose when uttered in such a setting), but Hume doesn't think his comment was tantamount to proselytizing, no sir.
An end-of-the-year recap of some of Jon Stewart and Co.'s devastating critiques of Fox News, CNN and MSNBC, from "leave it there" to tea party march madness.
Even Droopy has his day, unfortunately. In this clip from Wednesday's "Daily Show," Jon Stewart channels some of the primal rage induced by Sen. Joe Lieberman's not-so-subtle stymieing behaviors during this week's health care reform showdown in the Senate.
What does Fox Newser Glenn Beck believe to be a safe investment during times of panic and fear? Gold. Which emotions is Beck particularly skilled at playing upon in his nightly Fox-cast? Panic and fear. Which Web site does Glenn Beck stump for? Goldline.com, which pushes the idea that now's the time to invest in gold. Oh.
Here's some shocking news: Certain members of the U.S. Senate may be employing stalling tactics to make sure their version of the highly contested health care reform legislation, should it ever see the light of day, takes freaking forever to create.
In these clips from Vice President Joe Biden's visit Tuesday to "The Daily Show," the nation's No. 2 takes stock of the Obama administration's first year in office, defends his boss' decisions on a couple contentious issues, and compares Wall Street honchos to rattlesnakes.
Having caught wind that Fox Newser Sean Hannity was going to take a moment on his show to issue an apology to Jon Stewart for using older tea-party rally footage in a recent story, the host of "The Daily Show" was looking forward to hearing an admission of how the Fox folks subscribe to the network's methodology, aka "the subtle altering of reality to sell a preconceived narrative." That didn't quite happen.
"The Daily Show" has one eagle-eyed research team, judging by its consistent practice of catching the colorful pundits of Fox News in their most fact-challenged moments. Take this latest Fox pas, courtesy of Sean Hannity's show, which Jon Stewart pointed out on his own show Tuesday night.
We all saw the shenanigans that transpired outside the Capitol during last Thursday's wingnut clusterf ... "House Call" health care rally organized by the certifiable Rep. Michele Bachmann, but the freak show from the inner chambers of Congress was even better in the final lead-up to Saturday's House vote on health care reform legislation.
It's not so much that Jon Stewart is lampooning Glenn Beck for the heck of it that makes this clip from Thursday night's "Daily Show" so inspired, it's that he practically out-Glenn-Becks Glenn Beck, all the while stealing a potential conspiracy theory that the excitable Fox News showman might soon have cooked up if left to his own devices.
Barack Obama's top campaign strategist, David Plouffe, paid a visit to "The Daily Show" on Tuesday night, the anniversary of his candidate's big win, to look back on Obama's strategy for getting to the White House and how the president has done over the course of his first year. Jon Stewart doesn't let Plouffe off easy, especially when it comes to Obama's choice of economic advisers.
The battle between the Obama administration and Fox News hasn't ended yet (sigh), but luckily, Jon Stewart takes this timely opportunity to dissect what exactly the conservative-leaning channel's raison d'être is, and here's a hint: It's not necessarily the news.

The original cable news network has slipped to fourth and last place with prime-time viewers between ages 25 and 54, trailing Fox News, MSNBC and HLN. The conventional wisdom is that Americans prefer their news with a heavy dose of opinion, but CNN could be losing viewers because, as the "Daily Show" points out (after the jump), they're just bad at gathering news.
If ever there were magic words guaranteed to provoke instant fury in America's far-right ranks (besides "Nobel Peace Prize"), they might sound a little like "Al Franken." The comedian-turned-senator's recent proposal—related to the rights of rape victims who are employees of government contractors—met with some baffling resistance from Republicans in Congress.
Jon Stewart sat down with Department of Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano on Monday night's "Daily Show" to enjoy at least a fleeting feeling of security and to discuss the government's infamous safety color codes—which, she quipped, "are the subject of late-night humor, as you may have noticed"—as well as swine flu and terrorism.
Whatever happened to President Obama's campaign pledge to revoke the pesky "don't ask, don't tell" policy that keeps gay and lesbian military members in the closet as they serve their country? Well, it seems the president has a little "too much on his plate" to confront that particular issue at the moment, as Jon Stewart has duly noted.
As "The Daily Show" recounts, some conservatives, at least the type who attended last weekend's Values Voter Summit, officially have an issue with homosexuality (paging former Miss California Carrie Prejean). So Jon Stewart finds former GOP ringleader Tom "The Hammer" DeLay's sassy cha-cha number on Monday's "Dancing With the Stars" a bit puzzling.
After an extended vacation, Jon Stewart returned to his "Daily Show" anchor's desk Monday—and not a moment too soon, as the national epidemic of crazitude hasn't calmed down since he left, especially when it comes to the subject of health care reform.
Ever wonder whether it gets a touch exasperating for politicians to face angry throngs of American citizens at those unruly gatherings everyone quaintly insists on calling "town hall meetings"? Well, witness Barney Frank, here, on the brink of a town hall snap (or two) in this bit from Wednesday's "Daily Show."
Like an embarrassing father using the word tight or a mother who think it's OK to dance to Beyoncé while carpooling, CNN has found yet another way to make your skin crawl by desperately trying to act "hip" as it struggles to find a niche in the cable news wars. Jon Stewart chides the network in a piece that will probably elicit a grimace or two.
What happened in the few months between the time when Glenn Beck denounced the dismal state of American health care and when he celebrated it as a systemic triumph just a smidge later? And can we replicate this one-man odyssey with a simple tweak of our own remote controls?
Apparently Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner wants more for his home than he paid for it—in this market. The "Daily Show's" John Oliver asks, "How can the American people trust the policies of a man who can't sell his house? ... Is it not like hiring a personal trainer who is morbidly obese?"
As Barack Obama begins his seventh month in office, mainstream news anchors still can't seem to figure out the president's citizenship. ... I mean, was this guy even born here? Jon Stewart examines how this mystery man got to be the American president in the first place. Check out this clip from last night's "Daily Show."
Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was ousted in his pajamas in a 1980s-style coup, while the CIA has begun recruiting laid-off Wall Street financial analysts to screw up other economies. Check out Jon Stewart's take on things in this clip from Monday night's "Daily Show."
In case you haven't heard, this whole Iran election crisis thing is about us. Is Barack Obama doing enough to aid our fellow Iranian freedom fighters? Are Westerners the cause of the protests? Watch this clip of last night's "Daily Show" to find out.
As if he didn't have enough on his plate, President Obama is tackling health care reform. That's right, America. It's high time we put down our pancake-wrapped sausage on a stick dipped in baconnaise and start getting healthy. Check out this clip from last night's "Daily Show."
Jon Stewart reports on the alleged election victory of "Ahmadinejaja" in Iran—"the most stable country in the world"—and on Vice President Joe Biden's no-comment comment about the situation there. Check out this clip from last night's "Daily Show."
The "Daily Show's" Jason Jones kicks the Gray Lady while she's down with this uncompromising look at the day-old news business.
While Sean Hannity and others at Fox manipulate the news, MSNBC develops a Limbaugh hangup and CNN goes Twitter slap-happy. Ah, the wonders of news coverage in the mainstream media! Check out last night's clip of "The Daily Show" and watch Jon Stewart dissect just how these anchors "report" the news.
The verdict is in, folks: Dick Cheney has a major case of "Ballzheimer's disease." On Wednesday's "Daily Show," Jon Stewart recaps the former vice president's recent public appearances, right up to the one where he blames Richard Clarke—the guy who was warning of imminent terrorist attacks on the U.S.—for 9/11.
As other news anchors gush over Thursday's face-off between President Obama and former Vice President Cheney, Jon Stewart enlightens us on the discrepancies in their speeches. While Cheney wooed the crowd with his usual charm, Obama's rhetoric sounded oddly familiar. Check out this clip from "The Daily Show."
Having ignored the whole Miss California brouhaha in recent weeks, Jon Stewart finally succumbed on Tuesday night's show, and it's completely worth it—if only for his Donald Trump imitation.
Wanda Sykes gets heat from commentators about her jokes at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Jon Stewart echoes the critiques and reminds us that bad humor is harmful to the country but torture, well, maybe not so much.
With Taliban insurgents only 70 miles away from the capital city of Islamabad, Jon Stewart asks: What's happening in Pakistan? How can we avert nuclear disaster? And why are you still here, President Zardari?
Justice David Souter is leaving his lifetime post at the Supreme Court at the tender age of 69 to return to his woodland cabin and his previous occupation as … the Unabomber!
Cliff May, president of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, was clearly on the defensive as he took the hot seat during Tuesday's "Daily Show" with the unenviable task of debating whether or not waterboarding is torture, whether American officials have to follow the Geneva Conventions under all circumstances, and whether President Truman was a war criminal.
What has emboldened Dick Cheney and Karl Rove to so brazenly criticize the new administration? Has Cheney lost his trademark sneer since he left the White House? All this and more in this clip from Wednesday's "Daily Show" episode.
File under "sour grapes," perchance? CNBC's highly animated "Mad Money" pundit Jim Cramer is attempting to do some damage control after being thoroughly owned by Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show" a month ago. Cramer grumps about the episode to ... Ohio State University's student publication, The Lantern. Let 'er rip, Jim!
Jon Stewart shares his amazement that "the aortic valve of the heartland of America" is more gay-friendly than California.

Wow! Did we have fun and learn a lot about Vermont, its history, sites, etc. Welcome to the following new and renewing members: Bill Billings, Tom and Susan Chamberlain, Tom Myers, Chris Thomas, Susan Tsimpinos, Rose Mag- narella, Julio and Susan Fonseca, Robert Liles, Rebecca Young, Thom Bailey, John Douglass, Kara Late- rella, Dorothy Abbott, Randy Arends, Byron and Christine Work, Ken and Diane Lancaster, Michael & Ana Merritt, Chip & Karen Stilwell, Allen Page, Olga Polyakov & Tosca Ballerini, Tim Smith, Shepherd Johnson & Nancy Lewis, Chuck Cayton, Kimberly Judson, Nancy Hall, Paul, Pan & Tracy Grochmal, and Verena Wyvill. Mary Hormell Membership Committee Chair firstname.lastname@example.com Minute for Maintenance With July almost gone, and our two Konnarock weeks in the books, the Hanging Rock trail re-hab project got off to a great start. Cooler than normal temps and very little rain afforded the workers a break from the usual July steamy weather. Tons of rock got hauled by grip hoist or people power, many rocks became smaller with the aid of sledge hammers, very large rocks were chipped to fit just so and lots of very solid steps were created. The first week 17 workers composed of 7 Konnarock crew members, and 10 club members got the project off to a great start, even though 2 of the Konnarock crew were feeling a little under the weather. July 4th all gathered at Sher- ando for a very nice cookout that had regular and veggie burgers from the grill, macaroni salad, corn on the cob, and the all important desserts including ice cream and brownies provided by my friends from Petersburg, Debbie, Mac, and Doug. Joining us were Mike Pierson, the Ridgerunner for the past several seasons and his wife Elaine. We got rained out on Sunday and most folks headed for home. On Monday John Gillikin and I started to remove the roof on the Maupin field shelter. At the end of the day we put tarps over the shelter to keep the users dry. This side project which had been on the books to do for two years came to fruition after several e-mails with David Whitmore of the USFS and finding out he still had money to pro- vide the new cedar shakes. Kelley Sims, head ranger at Sherando ordered just the right amount of materials. With Tuesday and Wednesday as off days Thursday once again found John, Bruce Julian, Mark Connolly, Milton Beale, and I working on the roof but not able to finish. Back on went the tarps. Friday found 9 Konnarock crew members, originally ten but their leader Dannon was still sick and had to leave and 12 club members. Picking up where we had left off, work continued on building steps and cribbing. With lots of enthusiasm thru the weekend, the project moved forward at a good clip. Saturday once again found everyone at Sherando for dinner, this time provided by Nancy and Marc Rinkenberger. Chicken and veggies from the grill, fol- lowed by ice cream sundaes for dessert. Once again on Sunday rain showed up, this time holding off till early afternoon. Since we had left the trail with no gaping holes or other work incomplete, we packed up our tools and headed out. Most folks left that evening, with four remaining to finish the shelter roof. Bruce, Mark, Milton and I, and joined by Bill Rogers chased a few late sleeping hikers out of the shelter, it was 8am. We were able to finish the shelter roof with a quick break for lunch, by 2 pm. The Konnarock crew which had been camping at Maupin field broke camp and left around noon. After hauling all our equipment to vehicles, most visited the Blue Ridge Pig for second lunch. Thanks to all that came out and participated, remember we will doing it again next year. Kerry informed me that Dannon is better now. Our hours have been turned in with shirts to come in August or later. Thanks to the guys that helped with the shelter roof. That was wedged into the schedule as a last minute project. There is no more maintenance trips on the AT until the fall trip in October, but maybe I will put another trip to St Mary's on the calen- dar for early or late October, maybe even November. Till the next meeting, have fun. Scott Hilton TATC Trails Supervisor firstname.lastname@example.com TATC Annual Photo Contest TATC's Annual Photo Contest will be held at the General Meeting, Wednesday, September 9th. We want to see your pictures! Pictures depicting various club endeavors will be judged by a professional and will also be candi- dates for inclusion in the TATC 2010 calendar. It is a lot of fun to share these and it gives us an opportunity to swap stories and maybe even exaggerate our adventures a bit. 3 Jane Martin email@example.com Final Ridgerunner Report for 2009 Tomorrow marks the end of my 2009 Ridge Running season. So it is time for my annual wrap up. Two years ago I offered you a poem. Last year it was some fun statistics. This years I've reached a new pinnacle of creativ- ity. That is, my creative mind has decided that what would be more creative than to "borrow" from the creativity of others. In that regard I offer you some of the best of the shelter register entries from 2009! In no particular order: "Trying to talk myself out of talking myself out of going on." Cabot "Our father who art in heaven hallowed be thy moleskin." (In the Priest shelter) Sunshine "God grant me purity, chastity and temperance, but don't grant it yet." (Once again, the Priest shelter) Josey Wales "Stopping in for a break & carrying what feels like the Sears Tower for a pack." Cajun Dave "There's a damn fly buzzing around my head. I feel like Pigpen from Charlie Brown's gang, only smellier." McTea Bag "Penny Whistle is a foolish hiker. She begins 2600 foot climbs while a storm is brewing. May Thor and thunder gods protect her. Ever notice how when people go crazy they start talking about themselves in the third person?" Penny Whistle "Wet tent, lots of bugs...ain't life grand?" Dah Wahtte "Dream like you will live forever. Live like you will die tomorrow." Montana Mac "Ah, mac and cheese, a dinner fit for champions and kings." Tumbleweed "Body begs for mercy, but you walk on "thru", that's what you do." Salty "Something besides myself has been eating my Fig Newtons." Doc McCorkle "Those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who couldn't hear the music." In Deep "It's a love hate relationship with the rain. Love that it scares away the bugs, hate that I am wet constantly. It might be another long day at the office." Raspberry "Life lesson learned on the trail! Always make a shopping list. That way you can avoid four days in the woods without toilet paper." Blondie "Nasty climb today! I'm with Blondie...out in the woods for 4 days and no toilet paper. I will trade someone 2 Brownie Bliss Clif bars for some T.P. Anyone Please!" Duckie "Would someone from Florida bring a gator to this pond (Punch Bowl) and thus shut these damn frogs up." Hodgepodge "Humid. Deciding whether to filter water or ring my shirt out into my Nalgene." The Kid "I read the memorial to Little Ottie. That was a tough little dude. I bet if he had grown up he would've been a serious thru hiker." Hot Pants "Two things I can't stand...Intolerance of other cultures... and the Dutch." Skeeter Doobie "Some of the frogs in the pond (Punch Bowl) sound like they smelled my socks and are gasping for breath." Ramble On "Happy Birthday America! (on 7/4 obviously) At 233 years old, you are still smokin' hot!" Odysseus "Some kind person left cupcakes and cookies in the shelter. Trail magic is almost as good as bad sex, but even that is pretty good." Raleigh "Stopped in with Spitfire to tape up a blister on my big toe the size of a 1955 Buick hubcap!" Radio Bob "I wish I was an old man so that I could hit on the old lady (Hot Flash at FR 38) at trail magic yesterday. She was too sweet. Stole my heart. I've decided I want to be a trail angel when I grow up." Smiling Bandit "Don't sweat the petty things. Don't pet the sweaty things." Flash So there's some of the best from 09. Hope you enjoyed them. Happy Trails! 4 Mike Pierson 5 Surviving Myself (Or: Learning the Hard Way) By Bob Adkisson Forgive me, but perhaps an even better title for this would be: The First Time I Fell Out Of My Canoe (And The 2nd Time Too!) Learning to canoe seems to me fundamentally different than learning to backpack, or taking extended bicycle tours. The biggest difference is the boat itself— learning how to control, and live with, a 16 to 18 foot long, 60 to 80 pound thing that is constantly being yanked around by river currents or buffeted by contrary winds. Learning what to expect, learning how to handle and maneuver it is everything, is an education in and of itself. If you are lucky, and if, like me, you try and do it almost entirely on your own, you may learn (if you survive), eventually, how to make it dance, With experience, with a bit of hard won wisdom and grace, you and the boat may become one, can become at times magical. I bought my first canoe about mid-way thru the Carter administration, a year after completing the Appalachian Trail. Hiking the A.T. gave me an overwhelming feeling of outdoor confidence, one that assured me I could do about anything I put my mind to. No worries! And so, with but 25 miles of experience in a canoe (acquired 5 years earlier, at an Outward Bound school), I bought my first canoe. Just as important, I bought a couple of guidebooks to the rivers of Virginia—fuel for the fire that was about to be ignited. That autumn I paddled near my house on the Elizabeth R. a few times, and soon tried to paddle the feeder ditch into Lake Drummond for my first overnight trip. On the river I was disheartened and frustrated by my lack of control in even a mild wind and, on the feeder ditch, had to finally, disgustedly throw in the towel after about a half mile: between fighting the current and a strong headwind, it was just too much effort for too little progress; disap- pointed in myself, and chastened, I turned around and went back to my car, went back home. Unlike backpacking, where all you have to do is walk and carry a heavy pack, to canoe you have to learn to control what seems, at times, like a hugely oversized object, in all sorts of trying, changing conditions—you have to get it to do what you want, what you need for it to do. I had so much to learn. In Feb., surprised to find about 10 inches of snow on the ground, I impatiently set out on an overnight trip, 31 miles down the N. Anna River, just north of Richmond. I somehow, luckily, survived, even stayed upright thru the tough fall-line rapids (the guide book said it was a class 4 rapid, and I prudently tried to get to shore to scout it— but, out of control, unable to stop, the current swept me thru and I ran them blind). The next day I so much wanted to get out on the James R., which careens and crashes thru the city of Richmond, falling something like 120 feet in 6 miles, the only problem being a minor blizzard. Inexperience didn't hold me back, but a modicum of caution and common sense did. That and my former college room-mate's father, who advised me to be patient, wait for better weather. A month later I repeated part of the N. Anna as a day trip with my friend, then I set out alone, late in the after- noon, on an overnight trip (of about 25 miles) on the well name Little River, which was wedged in between the N. and S. Anna Rivers just above Richmond. This river intrigued and challenged me because the guidebooks said it had a class 5 rapid on it, and I was both anxious to see it (what would a class 5 rapid on a tiny river look like? How dangerous could it be?), and I was anxious to test myself. The getting of wisdom (at least a little bit of it), this is the story of that rather ill-fated trip, all 2 miles of it. I left my car at the top of the hill, on the side of a lonely county road, about 200 yards up from the tiny, inconse- quential looking Little River. With a sleeping bag, a change of clothes, and a bit of food packed away in stuff sacks, I set off. The river was slow and brown and narrow, a couple of feet deep, with steep, 8 foot high banks. The weather was cold and overcast, the drab and barren March woods still very much locked within winter's grasp. According to the book, I had about 10 miles to go before I reached the fall line rapids; there would be no 'action' until then, only the occasional fallen tree to negotiate. I figured I had enough daylight to go a mile or two, at which point I'd find a place to camp for the night, finishing the trip the next day. Within half a mile I had to force the boat under one low but massive tree trunk, and maneuver around a num- ber of other obstacles. This was my first time on a small waterway, one with constant, multiple problems like trees and branches to avoid. Fortunately, there was no wind or current to deal with or complicate matters even more. I was learning by doing, learning and experiencing first hand. I was all on my own, with only myself to blame; perhaps this is as it should be—maybe this is the best (if unforgiving) way to learn? 6 (Continued on Page 7 …) (Continued from Page 6 …) I came to another fallen tree, its trunk partially submerged and blocking the river. This would be the first tree I ever had to pull the boat over. With the banks so high and difficult, it seemed the easiest thing to do was to ma- neuver alongside the tree, get out and carefully stand atop it, then wrestle and muscle and slide the boat over. This went well enough, but when I stepped back into the boat and sat down, I realized immediately that I was in the wrong seat—I was in the bow seat instead of the stern. Honest mistake, with all of the chaos of manag- ing the canoe in such a narrow and obstacle filled waterway. Even with my lack of experience, I knew to try and keep my weight toward the middle of the boat, and to store what gear I had at the opposite end, to act as a counterbalance. Now I found myself and my gear in the same end of the boat, with the other end rising perilously high out of the icy water. But I thought: what the heck—there's another fallen tree blocking the river just 40 feet downstream; surely, if I was careful and vigilant enough, I could paddle to that tree, get out, pull the boat over, and then return to the proper seat. I turned the boat downstream, balancing my weight to left and right, acutely self aware and careful. Only, something happened….. About 10 feet along, I was approaching a broken off tree limb that was at shoulder height. At the last second a swirl of current or a tiny breathe of wind pushed me towards it. Leaning the tiniest bit to avoid the contact, but making contact anyway, I flinched. And that was all it took: I lost my balance and in an instant I was literally flung from the boat. It is an amazing, shocking thing to fall out of a canoe unexpectedly, especially the first time, especially into chest deep, 40 degree water, with no sun in the cold and indifferent sky. I was, of course, wearing 100% cotton clothing: socks and blue jeans, a flannel shirt over a t-shirt. Fortunately, I somehow managed to throw my right arm over the gunwales as I went over the left side of the boat, and this caused me to more or less land on my feet, keeping my head and shoulders out of the water, and thus dry. Without knowing how I did it, I instantly vaulted back into the canoe, mad as hell at myself (who else was there to be mad at?). At this point two things were foremost in my mind: 1. to get to shore as soon as possible and call it a day; 2. to be sure I didn't do anything else ill-advised and stupid while doing so. To this end I avoided both bow and stern seats, kneeling instead in the middle of the canoe, keeping my weight even lower. I headed for the downed tree 30 feet ahead, figuring to use it as a sort of platform to help in hauling the boat out of the river, up onto the bank. But, there was a new complication that immediately made itself known, something I'd never encountered or dealt with before: in tipping the canoe half over and falling out of it, the boat had scooped up 10 or 20 gallons of water before righting itself; as I paddled forward I noticed how tippy the sloshing water made the boat, how strangely it handled. Rather than take the time to bail the water out, it seemed best to just go the 20 feet to the fallen tree. If only it were that simple! Halfway to the tree I belatedly noticed a log floating lengthways in the river. No big deal I thought, as I tried to steer two inches to the left of it. But again, a lack of control, a magnetic pull, whatever: the right side of the boat rode up ever so slightly onto the log. In slow motion, this caused the 3 or 4 inches of water in the canoe to shift to the left side. I watched, wondering what was going to happen, how I could counteract it. There was an odd, second long delay it seemed, then the substantial weight of the shifting water caught up to the movement and I was, once again, rudely and unexpectedly flung headlong out of the canoe. Amazing! Falling out of a boat TWICE in about 45 seconds!! This time, head and shoulders tumbling, I went completely under water, came up sputtering and blistering the air with curses-- incoherent, ineffectual indignation. I was done, I'd had it-- with myself and the canoe, didn't trust either one of us. I walked the last 20 feet to the fallen tree, threw the gear to the top of the embankment, pulled the boat up after myself. Only, to add insult to injury, upon unpacking my sleeping bag and spare clothes, I discovered there were still more lessons to be learned, hard lessons: I'd packed my gear inside a single trash bag, and put that inside of a regular stuff sack. Standing there soaking wet and shivering, a hard and tangled mile back to the safety of my 7 car, I found this wasn't enough protection for what my gear had just gone through—my sleeping bag and dry clothes were half wet! (Continued on Page 8 …) (Continued from Page 7 …) With darkness descending, there was nothing to do but live with it, try and survive my own incompetence and inexperience. Sometimes, I admit, that has not been an easy thing to do. The good news was that, 5 years earlier (long before I'd got my canoe), the sleeping bag I'd bought was fiber filled (not down), rated to zero degrees, was one especially recommended for canoeing, for keeping you dry when it was wet. Since I had no tent along, only a space blanket, this proved a valuable comfort. If you count sleeping in a half wet bag, in half wet clothes, a comfort. Next morning, feeling as if I'd suffered enough adventure and had wrung about as much abuse and challenge as I could take from this particular river, I paddled a mile back, upstream, to the bridge and the take out. I walked up and fetched my car. It would be about 15 years (and about 2,000 miles of paddling later) before I came back and 'completed' this 25 mile section of the Little R. Then? It was a piece of cake! 2,000 miles of paddling experience does wonders for your abilities and confi- dence. Also, by then, I had discovered, the hard way of course, that the secret number of trash bags (one nested in- side of another) to keep your food, spare clothes, and sleeping bag dry, in all sorts of upsets and half mile floats down the river, seems to be 3! A month after my embarrassing falling out with the Little R., I did answer the challenge of another, the longest river in the state of Virginia: alone, I paddled 315 miles of the James R., in 13 days, from the extreme headwa- ters to the rapids of Richmond. I did this without falling out of the boat, not once. In the years since I have, of course, managed to turn the canoe over any number of other times (at least a dozen times), in all sorts of circumstances. It would be nice to say that I learned something valuable, recognized my mistakes, and came away a better canoeist each time, but the truth is, most of the times I've turned over it happened so fast, was so unexpected, that I have no idea what happened, what I could have done differently. I feel the same way about the numerous times I've slipped thru a difficult rapid or came thru the surf onto a beach without wiping out—how did I do that, what did I do right so that I can do it again next time? For the most part, I just don't know! As always, there is so much to learn, and that is why there is tomorrow. Voyage to Vermont By Phyllis Neumann There was a healthy representation of TATCers at the 37th AT Biennial in Castleton, VT this past July. I counted 24 and there were probably more. But it was tough to keep track of everybody as we all went our differ- ent ways each day choosing our daily dose of fun. Somehow, most of us seemed to end up together in the din- ing hall most nights, sharing the day's adventures over dinner and dessert. If you've never been to an AT Bien- nial, it's pretty tough to explain in a short article. Suffice to say that it's so much fun they can only do it every other year. Kind of like the Olympics. There were several highlights of the event for me. The trip to the Long Trail Brewery was one. Summiting Mt. Killington was another (okay, I took the gondola). I think seeing the camel in a farmer's field was notable as how often does one see a camel in Vermont? Also, the bike ride on the Delaware/Hudson Rails to Trails, trips to Fort Ticonderoga, the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, the Shelburne Museum and Ver- gennes were all new and exciting. But one thing that really stands out for me was the TATC video which played at our display table in the registration area. Several clubs had pictorial displays, brochures and other AT para- phernalia to exhibit. But nothing came close to our video. The video was made possible through grant funds and the hard work and dedication of the Video Project Committee. Several people were involved with the pro- ject: Nick and Ginny Werner, Rosanne Scott, Jim and Chris Sexton as well as many others including those who submitted photos. But Jim was the one who pulled it all together as the deadline approached-editing video and stills, choosing music and doing the narration. Hundreds of hours of work (I am sure) as evidenced by the pro- fessional quality of the finished product. I must have watched that video ten times it was so well done. And, I did receive several compliments for TATC from other clubs on the quality of the video. Many thanks to Jim and all who were involved in the production of the video. Well done!!!!! 8 TATC Cabin Updates By Bob Adkisson Here are a few updates concerning our Trail Club's Douglas Putman Memorial Cabin: Though we are right in the middle of the dog days of summer, somewhere hell must have surely frozen over, because the National Park Service recently, suddenly, began working on a project that they have been talking about for over 10 years—putting in a parking area at milepost 18.5 along the Blue Ridge Parkway, where club members leave their cars while staying at the Putman Cabin. We thought we'd never see the day this would happen (and are maybe of mixed emotions, or ambivalent about it, now that the moment is here—it is not something we asked for or particularly wanted). But, starting in late spring of this year, there they were, with bulldozers and dump trucks, graders and gravel, cutting down at least one tree and building a parking lot. No idea when they will finish, and mixed messages about whether the lot will be paved (this is the latest word from the workers themselves), or merely gravel (as we were told thru official channels). If you are renting the cabin anytime in the next month or so, be sure to get the latest info from me or Steve about where to park. Do not leave your car next to the Parkway it- self, on the immediate shoulders, or on the side of the road closest to the cabin; do not park in the graveled area they've created; park off to the side where you won't be in their way, should they decide to work during the time of your cabin stay. Please pass along any updates to Bob and Steve upon your return. For new club members especially, ones who want to visit the cabin and are interested in qualifying themselves to be able to rent it, there are two more maintenance / orientation trips scheduled for this year: Sept. 18-20, led by Greg Hodges (485 9800), and Nov. 6-8, led by Steve Babor (588 7501). Call the trip leader, or look for a sign up sheet at the next meeting if you are interested in either of these trips. They are usually limited to 12 people, and it is about a half mile hike in from where we park our cars, along a fairly flat old 'jeep road'. You can stay in the cabin itself, or camp out nearby, on club property (or in the national forest, if you like!). As with any club trip though, PLEASE; if you sign up for a spot on the trip, and then find that you can't go, immediately inform the trip leader. There are often people on a waiting or stand by list, and sometimes the work that the leader has planned can't be accomplished if, as it turns out at the last minute, only a handful of folks show up. For the trips in Sept. and Nov. I don't believe any major work projects are planned—no heavy duty work. It is nearly time to start thinking about next years TATC Calendar, about scheduling hikes that will appear there. As has been the case for a number of years now, you can reserve the Trail Club cabin far in advance, via the calen- dar, if you want-- providing the trip you plan is open to all members AND is announced not just in the Club's calen- dar but in the Newsletter a month or two before the hike as well. Deadline for submissions to the calendar is usu- ally the end of October. You do need to first clear the date you want thru the cabin committee, so that the time you request doesn't conflict with some work trip or special event we might have planned. Also, for reservation requests not made thru the upcoming year's club calendar-- as it has been for about 2 years now, as long as a trip is fairly open to all members, and is announced in the Club's newsletter, qualified members can reserve the cabin far out- side of the usual 56 day / 8 week window. We are making this exception in the hope of boosting group trips to the cabin. Call Bob Adkisson (627 5514) to make a reservation or if you have any questions. As always, you can also contact me online, at the email address (cabin committee) found on page 2 of the Newsletter; but please, this is only for general questions or comments about the cabin and procedures—NOT to ask about specific dates the cabin might be available. It is best to make all inquiries about renting the cabin by phone. If you don't get hold of me initially, leave a message, with your name and phone number and the dates you are interested in stated clearly; I will return your call ASAP. So far this year the spring continues to be running well. There is a large supply of good fire wood (mostly black locust trees) that was cut in early April, though we ask that an effort be made to conserve the best wood; especially dur- ing the warmer months, we hope that renters will find, cut with hand saws, and supply most of their own wood, us- ing fallen limbs they gather from the surrounding forest. Recently, Greg Hodges donated to the cabin a propane fired, 2 burner cook stove. It is usually stored atop the wood burning cook stove and uses the same green, screw on propane bottles as the 3 cabin lanterns (remember to bring you own bottles, and to pack out any empty ones!). This stove should help cut down on the amount of wood needed, and now members don't have to pack in their own backpack stoves. The stove is very easy to use and is a great addition to the cabin. Cabin usage has slumped off significantly this summer—something it used to do regularly; but the last few summers the cabin was rented heavily and I am hoping usage will soon pick up with the cooling of the weather and the turn- ing of the leaves. "If you build it, they will come", said the voice in the cornfield. Well, last fall we completed the roof work on the great new picnic shelter (the John Donavon Memorial Shelter), and this spring a bird built a nest and raised a family atop one of the 4 corner support posts. I still remember fondly a couple of perfect days I spent at the cabin a few Septembers ago—sleeping (and reading) on the porch, and for 3 days in a row watching in wonder as a continuous stream of monarch butterflies migrated south at treetop level directly above me; there seemed to be no moment when at least 2 or 3 of them weren't visi- ble, passing one behind the other—for 3 days straight! This is one of the blessings of the cabin—it is so much a part of nature, a part of the landscape. A few years ago a deer even (apparently) gave birth to a fawn on that very 9 same porch; for the next few months the fawn was observed just feet from the cabin, calmly nestled in a flower bed, awaiting the return of its mother. If you haven't been to the cabin, go, soon! PLEASE NOTE: Most hikes are limited in the number of participants. The hike leader will take reservations on a first-come, first- served basis. You can include your name on the sign up sheets available at each meeting or call the hike leader. If you sign up for an activity and then decide not to participate, please contact the leader in advance.

News Release
Fifth Third Names Ross Kari as Chief Financial Officer
Kevin T. Kabat, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Fifth Third Bancorp (Nasdaq: FITB) today announced the selection of Ross J. Kari as the Company's new chief financial officer.
Kari most recently was executive vice president and CFO of Safeco Corporation in Seattle. Kari held that position from 2006 through September 2008 and was responsible for all financial disciplines including accounting, tax, treasury, investor relations, risk management, financial planning and analysis and mergers and acquisitions. He will assume his new role at Fifth Third on November 17th as executive vice president and member of the Enterprise Committee.
Kari has broad and deep experience in the financial services industry, having served as executive vice president and CFO of Wells Fargo and Company and, just prior to joining Safeco, as the chief operating officer of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco.
"We are delighted to have Ross join Fifth Third given his experience, leadership capabilities and broad and diversified business background," said Kabat. "I also want to personally thank Dan Poston, who has served in the interim role as our CFO, for his help and support during the past few months as we conducted this search."
Poston will resume the role of executive vice president and controller, the position he held prior to serving as the interim CFO during the search process. Poston originally joined Fifth Third as auditor and has been a member of the firm's Enterprise Committee since that time.
Kari began his career in 1983 with Wells Fargo and Company where he held a number of positions most recently serving as executive vice president and chief financial officer from 1998 to 2001. Kari, an Oregon native, has an MBA in Finance and a BS in Mathematics, both from the University of Oregon.
"I am confident that Fifth Third is well-positioned to differentiate itself and emerge successfully from these challenging times in the financial services industry," Kari said, "and I am happy to be part of the leadership team that will make that happen."
Kari serves as a nonexecutive director of KKR Financial Holdings LLC and is chair of that company's audit committee.
Fifth Third Bancorp is a diversified financial services company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Company has $116 billion in assets, operates 18 affiliates with 1,298 full-service Banking Centers, including 93 Bank Mart(R) locations open seven days a week inside select grocery stores and 2,329 ATMs in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Florida, Tennessee, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Georgia and North Carolina. Fifth Third operates five main businesses: Commercial Banking, Branch Banking, Consumer Lending, Investment Advisors and Fifth Third Processing Solutions. Fifth Third is among the largest money managers in the Midwest and, as of September 30, 2008, has $196 billion in assets under care, of which it managed $ 30 billion for individuals, corporations and not-for-profit organizations. Investor information and press releases can be viewed at www.53.com. Fifth Third's common stock is traded on the NASDAQ® National Global Select Market under the symbol "FITB."

MADISON, Wis. — If every team that lost to Wisconsin hung their heads after losing to the Badgers, there'd be an awful lot of lost seasons in the Big Ten.
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin is, far and away, the class of the Big Ten.
Bo Ryan is one of the Big Ten's living legends. And soon, he might be a Hall of Famer.
For much of the season, it was a pretty safe bet that Wisconsin center Frank Kaminsky was going to go home with Big Ten Player of the Year honors at season's end.
Maryland was expected to drop in the rankings following Sunday's blowout loss at Iowa. The only question was how far?

Wash potatoes then pat them dry. Steam the potatoes until soft.
Mash the potato finely then turn out onto floured surface.
Add 1 egg yolk and 3/4 cup of flour. Combine using your hands.
Add remaining egg and enough of the remaining flour that you create a smooth, silky dough.
Cut the dough into 6 even-ish pieces.
Roll each piece of dough on a floured surface into a long snake and then slice into gnocchi size portions (roughly 1 inch).
Give each cut piece a little roll and then press with the back of fork. Put onto floured plate, ensuring none of the gnocchi touch each other.
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil.
Drop half the prepared gnocchi in piece by piece. When they rise to the top, remove each piece from the boiling water with a slotted spoon. Drain and drop into your simmering sauce.
Repeat with the second half of the gnocchi.

Gallery: The Kokon Modern Pet House Sprouts a Green Roof
If you and your furry friend have been trying to figure out a way to bring more green into your daily life, but a cramped city apartment has other ideas in mind, then you'll love this sweet modern pet house from Pousse Creative. Dubbed the Kokon, each home creates a cozy niche for your pet to hide (and hoard) while leaving a special spot atop to plant a small roof garden!
Boasting a modern design, the house is a miles away from those pitched roof constructions. With clean lines, a neutral color, and of course a bounty of succulents growing on top, the Kokon will fit perfectly with just about any home's decor. The Kokon also comes with a small plushy pillow so your precious little ones can curl up and enjoy a nice nap.
And if you don't have any pets, but wouldn't mind indulging in a little bird watching, the company also makes the Zozio, a cool birdhouse with a built-in planter.

Possiblr bridge bug
I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it's something that hasn't been turned on. Anyway, I unlocked my Klingon and made a character and crew but when I went to check out my bridge I found it was crewed by Federation NPC's. Now I don't mind some slave labor on my starship cuz they can double as rations for my Gorn Captain but I would like my own BO's working at their stations.

Watch & Listen
"They've come from a distant plane to make us dance like we're insane."
-Raw Paw
"Unconventional in all the right ways, Become Who You Are shows Holiday Mountain are ready for the big time and marks them as a band to watch."
-Performer Magazine
Holiday Mountain is a three-piece psych-dub-pop workout operating out of Austin, TX. Formed in Boston in 2010 as a compliment to the songs of Laura Patiño, Holiday Mountain has been through several incarnations before settling into it's current trio configuration. Since moving to Austin in 2012 they are hard at work making a home for themselves in the city's diverse musical community while building upon their tradition of fan interaction and their reputation as a formidable dance act.
In early 2012 they released their debut LP Become Who You Are with guitarist Mike Simonelli. The ten track album showcases the band's musical range and creative ambitions through it's monstrous dub grooves, psychedelic space journeying, pounding surf-reggae, electro western disco, 1960s island grooves, tight jungle breaks, flourishes of electronics and hip hop backbeats.
Most recently Holiday Mountain performed before a packed crowd of more than 1500 fans and spectators for their headlining show at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art. Other highlights include a rave review of their album in Performer Magazine, a spot as the weekly feature on Foundwaves.com, and press coverage from both The Boston Globe and CBS Boston.
Now hard at work on fresh material for their next album, Holiday Mountain promises new excursions into the land of electro-pop, chugging organ blues, psychedelic latin grooves, hyper-obese dub reggae, hip hop breaks, and a deeper look into their already established sound.
