Lake Wobegon Trail Marathon
900 5th St
Holdinford, MN 56340
Call: (320) 251-4170
Runners will head west from the Holdingford High School for one mile and join the Lake Wobegon Trail 3/4 mile north of the Holdingford Trail Facility. Runners will run through the towns of Holdingford, Albany, Avon, and St. Joseph. The race finishes at the Trail Facility in St. Joseph.
COURSE: The course is flat, fast, and picturesque. The course is certified (USATF #MN-08042-RR). Many people feel that the trail from Holdingford to St. Joseph is the prettiest portion of the Lake Wobegon Trail. The trail is primarily rural except as it passes through the four small towns along the route. In a post on the "A Prairie Home Companion" website, Garrison Keillor said this about the Lake Wobegon Trail: "I've biked the bike trail ... and love the ordinary beauty of farmland and meadow and the towns along it."
The Lake Wobegon Trail is a 10 foot wide asphalt bike trail on a former railroad track. The trail is smooth and has no cant. There is very little elevation change at any time along the entire length of the course. You cannot get lost on this course. Runners join the trail after one mile and then simply follow the trail to the finish. There is only one turn on the entire trail where the trail 'T's' at about 11.2 miles and runners go left at the 'T'.
The finish line will close after six hours. Water stations will close at intervals of 14 minutes per mile from the start. We do not want to leave runners unsupported on the course. Therefore, runners who are not able to maintain at least a 14 minute mile average pace will be transported to the finish line by volunteers from the next water station. If you do not know whether you will be able to maintain at least a 14 minute mile average pace throughout the race, then unfortunately this is not the race for you.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said having one of college football's top playmakers in Jadeveon Clowney was never a burden for the Gamecocks last season, no matter how big a distraction he seemed to be at times.
Spurrier: Clowney was not distraction
Clowney became the center of college football once he popped the helmet off Michigan tailback Vincent Smith at the 2013 Outback Bowl. He drew national coverage that put the affable defensive end — and the Gamecocks — in the spotlight nearly every day.
"We got through the year and he did an excellent job," Spurrier said.
There won't be same frenzy swirling around South Carolina when the Gamecocks open fall camp Friday night.
In addition to Clowney, the No. 1 pick of the Houston Texans, other high-profile players including quarterback Connor Shaw, defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles, wide receiver Bruce Ellington and cornerback Victor Hampton are off to pro careers.
Clowney was a major part of the Gamecocks putting together three straight 11-2 seasons. It's a pretty impressive run for a program that had only once before reached double-digit wins in 120 seasons of football.
To get there again, South Carolina will have to rely on players without much experience.
On the defensive front, the Gamecocks will look to untested players like Darius English and brothers Gerald Dixon and Gerald Dixon Jr. In the secondary, South Carolina will rely on young cornerbacks like Wesley Green and Chris Lammons to fill in for upperclassmen Hampton and Jimmy Legree at the position.
Linebacker Kiawan Lewis thinks things will play out like last year when the Gamecocks lost five senior linebackers from a year earlier and counted on newcomers like himself and Skai Moore to step up. It was rocky at first, but eventually the youngsters settled down to help the Gamecocks become a top-10 defensive unit nationally.
"We have confidence in those guys up front and know they're going to play well. We'll help them do that," Lewis said.
Spurrier called Shaw the greatest quarterback in school history and it's hard to argue after he led the Gamecocks to the country's current longest home win streak at 18 in a row. But Dylan Thompson, this year's starter, has had his moments of success — he led the Gamecocks to a 27-17 win over Clemson in 2012 subbing for an injured Shaw — and believes prepared for his moment.

[NASA] Mobile Service Tower Rolled Back for Orion Flight Test
The next launch opportunity for the Orion flight test is 7:05 a.m. EST on Friday, Dec. 5. The spacecraft will orbit Earth twice, reaching an altitude of approximately 3,600 miles above Earth before landing in the Pacific Ocean. No one will be aboard Orion for this flight test, but the spacecraft is designed to allow us to journey to destinations never before visited by humans, including an asteroid and Mars.

[NASA] NASA's Journey to Mars
Mars is a rich destination for scientific discovery and robotic and human exploration as we expand our presence into the solar system. Its formation and evolution are comparable to Earth, helping us learn more about our own planet's history and future. Mars had conditions suitable for life in its past. Future exploration could uncover evidence of life, answering one of the fundamental mysteries of the cosmos: Does life exist beyond Earth?
While robotic explorers have studied Mars for more than 40 years, NASA's path for the human exploration of Mars begins in low-Earth orbit aboard the International Space Station. Astronauts on the orbiting laboratory are helping us prove many of the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions to deep space, including Mars. The space station also advances our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronaut health.
Our next step is deep space, where NASA will send a robotic mission to capture and redirect an asteroid to orbit the moon. Astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft will explore the asteroid in the 2020s, returning to Earth with samples. This experience in human spaceflight beyond low-Earth orbit will help NASA test new systems and capabilities, such as Solar Electric Propulsion, which we'll need to send cargo as part of human missions to Mars. Beginning in FY 2018, NASA's powerful Space Launch System rocket will enable these "proving ground" missions to test new capabilities. Human missions to Mars will rely on Orion and an evolved version of SLS that will be the most powerful launch vehicle ever flown.
A fleet of robotic spacecraft and rovers already are on and around Mars, dramatically increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover measured radiation on the way to Mars and is sending back radiation data from the surface. This data will help us plan how to protect the astronauts who will explore Mars. Future missions like the Mars 2020 rover, seeking signs of past life, also will demonstrate new technologies that could help astronauts survive on Mars.
Engineers and scientists around the country are working hard to develop the technologies astronauts will use to one day live and work on Mars, and safely return home from the next giant leap for humanity. NASA also is a leader in a Global Exploration Roadmap, working with international partners and the U.S. commercial space industry on a coordinated expansion of human presence into the solar system, with human missions to the surface of Mars as the driving goal.

The spacecraft will orbit the Earth twice, including one loop that will reach 3,600 miles above Earth. No one will be aboard Orion for this flight test, but the spacecraft is being designed and built to carry astronauts on exploration missions into deep space. Launch is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 4 at 7:05 a.m. EST, the opening of a 2 hour, 39-minute window for the day.

[NASA] Black Hole Friday
A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying.
Because no light can get out, people can't see black holes. They are invisible. Space telescopes with special tools can help find black holes. The special tools can see how stars that are very close to black holes act differently than other stars.
How Big Are Black Holes?
Black holes can be big or small. Scientists think the smallest black holes are as small as just one atom. These black holes are very tiny but have the mass of a large mountain. Mass is the amount of matter, or "stuff," in an object.
More information on black holes.

[NASA] International Space Station's 3-D Printer
This image of the printer, with the Microgravity Science Glovebox Engineering Unit in the background, was taken in April 2014 during flight certification and acceptance testing at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, prior to its launch to the station aboard a SpaceX commercial resupply mission. The first objects built in space will be returned to Earth in 2015 for detailed analysis and comparison to the identical ground control samples made on the flight printer prior to launch. The goal of this analysis is to verify that the 3-D printing process works the same in microgravity as it does on Earth.
The printer works by extruding heated plastic, which then builds layer upon layer to create three-dimensional objects. Testing this on the station is the first step toward creating a working "machine shop" in space. This capability may decrease cost and risk on the station, which will be critical when space explorers venture far from Earth and will create an on-demand supply chain for needed tools and parts. Long-term missions would benefit greatly from onboard manufacturing capabilities. Data and experience gathered in this demonstration will improve future 3-D manufacturing technology and equipment for the space program, allowing a greater degree of autonomy and flexibility for astronauts.

Panic time in San Francisco?
Breaking down Niners' early struggles and the road ahead
ESPN Insider
The San Francisco 49ers never had a losing record under coach Jim Harbaugh until now, and they head to St. Louis in Week 4 with some serious issues:
• Their young quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, is coming off a two-game stretch with zero touchdowns, four interceptions, six sacks and a 47.3 percent completion rate.
• The Seahawks are already two games up in the NFC West.
The 49ers now face a Rams team that beat them once last season and tied them in their other meeting.
We asked Insider's Mike Sando and Matt Williamson to assess the root causes of the 49ers' early struggles and where they're heading in 2013.
Sando: In looking at the early problems in San Francisco, what stands out to me isn't the players on the field, but those who have been or will be missing. The 49ers are without Michael Crabtree, Mario Manningham and Aldon Smith. We don't know whether Patrick Willis or Vernon Davis will play and be effective Thursday night given their injuries. Role players such as LaMichael James (injured) and Delanie Walker (left in free agency) aren't around, either. The 49ers have lost by a 56-10 margin over the past two weeks. Matt, let's cut right to it. Is this a crisis situation for the 49ers?

You appear to be describing an hybrid ultraportable/tablet. I don't think that there are many out there yet. The Sony Vaio Duo II is one. Graphics for gaming could be a problem.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Their meeting in the NBA finals last summer seemed to go on forever, stretching through seven games over two weeks until the exhausted Los Angeles Lakers finally edged the injury-depleted Boston Celtics in the final quarter.
Celtics, Shaq set to face Lakers in finals rematch
After seven months to recover, the rivals are finally together again.
Yet when they meet Sunday on the same Staples Center court where the Lakers won their 16th title and denied the Celtics their 18th, players on both teams claim they won't think much about their epic shared history.
Both teams also are heading into their showdown after embarrassing losses Friday night. The Lakers played horribly at home against lowly Sacramento, while Celtics coach Doc Rivers and star Kevin Garnett were ejected in Phoenix.

A Large Green Dragon
ctnchprJuly 8, 2007
No, not Puff! Arisaema dracontium. I have several of these plants in my woods, but this is the most handsome one. The yardstick is for scale.
Very impressive, and thanks for sharing. I hope you will plant those seeds and have many happy green dragonettes. Seriously, they usually are not difficult to grow given enough time. The last time I had some nice seeds that the critters allowed to mature, I, with wineglass in hand, stolled around the property and poked seeds in the ground. Cleaning them hastens the growth, but the simple way works, too, if you are patient.

ClickOver and Focalink Communications completed their merger and said the new company will be known as AdKnowledgeInc.
ClickOver and Focalink Communications completed their merger and said the new company will be known as AdKnowledge Inc.
The company will provide integrated Internet marketing solutions for advertisers, agencies and Web site operators.
ClickOver is known for its real-time ad management applications for Web sites, called ClickWise and ClickWise Pro. Focalink developed and marketed media planning and outsourced Internet ad management products consisting of MarketMatch, a decision support tool for online media planning and buying, and SmartBanner, an Internet campaign placement and performance analysis service.
AdKnowledge said it will continue to develop, market and integrate these products for both buyers and sellers of Internet advertising. Financial details of the merger were not disclosed.
"What we do, in essence, is give our customers the knowledge they need to make critical Internet marketing decisions; hence our new company name 'AdKnowledge'," said Scott Kauffman, AdKnowledge president and CEO.
AdKnowledge claims more than 200 customers including traditional and interactive advertising agencies, Web sites, networks and national marketers, including agencies such as BBDO, Bozell, DDB Needham, DMB&B, J. Walter Thompson, McCann Erickson, Ogilvy & Mather, Saatchi & Saatchi and Young & Rubicam.
Other clients are Anderson Lembke, CKS/Site Specific, i-traffic and Left Field; and media companies CBS Sportsline, Classifieds 2000, Hearst New Media, Internet Travel Network and Kiplingers.
Palo Alto, CA-based AdKnowledge is a privately-held company funded by Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, and the Mayfield Fund. The company said a new corporate site will be up within the next two weeks, at www.adknowledge.com. E-mail and URLs addressed to the former ClickOver and Focalink domains will be automatically forwarded to the new domain.

[IMAGE]9700.jpg[/IMAGE]In support of the Motorcoach Council's work in educating potential riders across North America of the benefits of motorcoach travel, Prevost is partnering with their council partner customers to donate up to $50,000 in the coming year.
Prevost has given their council partner customers a voluntary program that contributes 0.5 percent of their parts purchases to the Motorcoach Council and Prevost matches that contribution up to a maximum of $50,000. "This program helps fund the activities of the Motorcoach Council as they work to enhance and accentuate the positive image of motorcoach travel. Prevost and many of our customers recognize the value of such industry promotion and we look forward to contributing together for success," said Jack Forbes, vice president parts sales.
The Motorcoach Council, a philanthropic, not-for-profit, public interest organization, works to create public awareness, shift perception of motorcoach travel and change consumer preferences. The Council aims not only to add the motorcoach to the consumer's list of viable transportation options, but additionally to rise above the competition and trump the consumer's preference for trains, planes and personal automobiles as the transportation mode of choice.
The groups urged planners to add parking near the National Mall for the millions of people who will visit by bus and car over the next several months, kicking off with the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
In their meetings, UMA members shared information about their own businesses and rallied for backing of three critical needs: opposition of FMCSA's proposal to raise the Federal financial responsibility limits, support of Rep.

` Patentod Sept 27,1910.
v F. J. KRUEGEB.. TBIPLIQLTE MANIPOLDING BOOK 0B ArrLIoATIoN Hmm 001:1 1
rnEnEnIcn J. ERUEGER, or nEraoIr, MICHIGAN.'
Speelcation of Letters Patent.
Patented sepa a7, 1910.
Application led October 1, 1909. Serial No. 520,479.
To all whom it may concern.' V
Beit known that I, FREDERICK J. KRUEGER,
a citizen of the United States of America,
residing at Detroit, vin the county of Wayne v and State of Michigan, have invented cer tain new and useful mprovements in Triplicate Manif'olding Books orPads, of which the following is a specification, reference beinghad therein to the accompanying drawin s.
I The invention relates to manifolding books or pads particularly designed for use where two copies for each original are required.
It is the object of the invention to facili tate the insertion and holding of the carbon sheet, and also the advancement of the same to a new position in the pad, as more fully hereinafter set forth.
In the present state of the art, triplicate manifolding pads have been formed in which the rear face of each sheet eXcept'the bottom one is carbonized, thereby dispensing with the necessity of the insertion of a separate carbon sheet therebeneath. This construction is, however, objectionable, as
' the carbonized sheet, when removed and in contact with other papers, will soil the same. Another method which has been employed is the binding into the pads a carbon sheet in each group, but this increases the bulk of the pad, and adds to the cost of the same by the large number of carbon sheets required. Still another method is to employ a plurality of carbon sheets that are separately inserted between the different leaves of the group. This requires;` a separate handling of each carbon sheet and furthermore it is difficult to prevent the dropping out of the sheets when the book or' pad is not in use.
With my invention the objections above set forth are all avoided by providing a folded carbon sheet embracing the intermediate copy with the fold in close contact with the edge of the sheet and positioned and retained thereby. This folded carbon .sheet is furthermore provided with carbonized surfaces, which face in the same direction-or, in other Words, the sheet before folding has its two portions carbonized upon reverse sides. Thus, after folding, one of the carbonized faces lies adjacent to the leaf embraced by the folded sheet and the other surfac' is in contact with the next lower leaf.
In the drawings-Figure 1 vis a perspective view of a b ook or pad constructed in accordance with my invention; Fi 2 is a perspective view of the carbon s eet detached; Fig. 3 is a cross section through the pad; Fig. 4 is a plan of the carbonsheet before foldin A is a boolv or pad having its leaves arranged in grou s of three.
B is the car on sheet, which is formed from a blank slightly greater than twice the size of the leaves and having carbonized `faces C and D upon opposite sides of the ortions lying on either side of a central ine E. The sheet thus formed is folded along the line E, which will cause the surfaces C and D to face inthe same direction. The folded sheet is then inserted in the book so as to embrace the intermediate leaf, with the fold adjacent to one edge thereof, and the construction is such that the upper portion of the carbon sheet h s a marginal portion F projecting beyond the opposite edge of the leaf. Thus the user may readily disengage the carbon sheet by gras ing this marglnal portion and without anger of clamping the intermediate sheet in tearing the same. l
In use, the carbon sheet is first engaged with the intermediate leaf of the rst roup, in which position it will be retained gy the engagement of the fold with the ed e of the sheet, and by the clamping effect o the opposite portions upon said sheet. Thus there 1s little danger of accidental disengagement and loss of the carbon sheet. After the filling out of the original, the user throws out the carbon sheet and places it in engagement with the intermediate leaf of the next group, after which the filled-out copy may be drawn from the pad.
What I claim as my invention is:
l. The combination with a book or pad, of an unbound folded carbon sheet adapted to embrace a leaf with the fold adjacent to the edge thereof, and a marginal portion pro'ecting beyond the opposite edge of the lea the two portions of said carbon sheet having their carbonized surfaces facing in the same direction.
2. A manifoldin book or pad comprising a plurality of le one edge and having their remaining edges free, and an unbound carbon sheet folded to embrace a leaf intermediate two other leaves, and having portions upon opposite sides of the embraced leaf provided with aves bound together at brace a leaf intermediate two other leaves and having ortions upon op osite sides o the embrac leaf provided with carbonizedsurface facing downward, whereb a co y is formed upon the embraced lea and te leaf beneath the same. f
4. A' manifolding book or pad, comprisin a plurality of leaves arranged in series o three and bound together at one edge, the remaining ed es of said leaves being free,
` and a remova 1e carbon sheet folded to form parallel leaves adapted to be positioned upon .opposite sides of the intermediate leaf of the series, said parallel leaves being carbonized on one side only and facin in the same direction, and one of said car on leaves ha a marginal .portion projecting beyond e other, and beyond the corres onding marginal portion of theleaves of t e book.
A5. The combination with a book, or pad,
comprising a plurality of leaves of substantially the same size bound together 'at one edge and having their remainin edges free, offa folded carbon. sheet adapte to embrace one of the leaves of the pad and havin portions upon opposite sides of said lea with carbonized surfaces facin in the same direction whereby a co yeisrormed on the emleaves of the pad and the other ortion of the carbon sheet being of slight y greater width than the leaves. g
6. 'llhe combination withJ a book or ad, comprising a plurality of leaves bonn tos eet folded to embrace the leaf intermediate two otherleaves, andhaving portions upon opposite sides of the embraced leaf provided with carbonized surfaces facing downward whereby a cop is formed on the embraced leaf and the lea beneath the same, the portion of the carbon sheet above the embraced leaf havin an edge projecting be- ,yond the correspon in e ge of the other portion of the carbon s eet and beyond the ed e of the leaves of the pad. n testimony whereof I atlix mysignature in presence of two witnesses.
FREDERICK J. KRUEGER. Witnesses:
Neun: KINBELLA, W. J.- BELKNAP.

American Muslims Denouncing Terrorism
By Dilshad D. Ali
Beliefnet Islam Editor
Every few months another story hits the news: Terrorist plot uncovered, Muslims implicated. Since the tragedy of 9/11, Muslims have remained under intense scrutiny, and more than a few Americans have called the religion "evil." People still wonder: Why aren't Muslims saying--or doing--enough to condemn terrorism and violence? Is Islam really a religion of violence?
The truth is, American Muslims are constantly condemning terrorism and religious extremism, unambiguously and in the strongest possible ways. But, many Muslims complain, their words and actions are not being heard. So Beliefnet sought out some of the country's most prominent Muslims, who battle these misconceptions everyday, to get their answers on this question:
What is it about Islam, the Qur'an, and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad that drives Muslims to reject extremism and terrorism?

Rita Loye Lee formerly of Des Plaines Rita Loye Lee passed away Oct. 6, 2012, in Fullerton, Calif. Rita was born on April 19, 1937, at Mercy Hospital in Chicago. She grew up in Des Plaines, where she lived on Washington Street until she moved to California. Her father, Mike Loye, was from Ireland and her mother, Rose Connolly Loye, was born in Chicago. Rita visited her Ireland relatives twice and enjoyed when they visited her. When she graduated Maine Township High School, Rita's first job was as a telephone operator for AT&T. She worked first in Des Plaines, then in Arlington Heights. She later transferred to Los Angeles, Calif., where she met the cousin of a co-worker, Lawrence Lee of the United States Army, who she later married. Rita and Larry were married for 50 years and she worked for the phone company for 39 years. Rita was always socially conscious; she volunteered for the Jerry Lewis Telethon year after year, for three decades, as well as did volunteer work for the charity, the Telephone Pioneers of America. Rita may have had a bad heart, but it was a big heart! As Rita would tell you, one of her favorite things in life were her nieces and nephews, and eventually the great nieces and nephews! Rita loved spending time with them and always took them to Disneyland when they would visit her and Larry in California. She loved dancing, camping, gambling as well as going to off-road and NASCAR races. Rita will be remembered for her giggle and her smile; there are no pictures anywhere where she isn't smiling. Memorial services will be held in California. Rita is survived by her husband of 50 years, Larry Lee of Fullerton, CA; and her sister, Barbara Loye Terry of Des Plaines; along with many loving nieces, nephews and friends. Preceding her in death were her brother, John "Buddy" Loye; and her sister, Marie Loye Caldon. Also waiting to greet her in heaven is her beloved niece, Rosie Mesisca, Rosie's loving husband, Don, and their beautiful son, Brett. Condolences can be sent to her sister, Barbara Loye Terry, c/o Lee Manor, Room 25B, 1301 Lee Street Des Plaines, IL 60018, 847-635-4000.

This mini version of a popular New York cookie is frosted with half white and half chocolate frosting.
Heat oven to 400°F.
Combine sugar, butter and egg in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add all remaining cookie ingredients; beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed and dough forms.
Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 6-9 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool completely.
Combine all glaze ingredients in bowl except milk and chocolate. Beat at medium speed, adding enough milk for desired glazing consistency. Remove 1 cup glaze to another bowl. Add melted chocolate; mix well. Frost half of each cookie with white frosting and half with chocolate. Place onto waxed paper. (If chocolate glaze begins to harden, heat in microwave 5-10 seconds.) Let stand 1 hour or until set.

The Mint White Chocolate Tart takes a little bit of effort to make with its multiple steps, but the end result is fluffy, subtly sweet and has a perfect hint of mint.
Bring the bold flavors of

Eggs Benedict, like this Cheesy Eggs Benedict, is the quintessential brunch dish, but it sure can be challenging to serve to a crowd with so many last-minute elements – toasting English muffins, poaching eggs and making hollandaise sauce.

Awesome as usual Jani!
You make the most epic Orchestral stuff ever and never cease to amaze me.
The dynamics are fucking awesome.
The choirs are kinda screwed up though, but whatever, it's stupid enough to pass :P
Thanks for the feedback dude!

I agree with dubastot! This song is amazing, you did a great job Devastus! For me It creates this intense world where everything is a life or death decision! And like dubastot, I may ask for use of this song on one of my next youtube videos!
Thanks, intense was certainly what I was going after. And sure, as long as it's mentioned where credit is due I'm all ok with that!
Thanks for the review!
