Regardless of you people's bickering, Germany should have stayed in Germany. Hitler should also have known better than to exterminate a people. Regardless of race, color, gender, we are equally human and all bleed the same. There is no excuse for such vile disgraceful armies who commit atrocities in such great numbers.ReplyDelete

Points To Ponder
It is difficult to distinguish between the quality of both the German and Russian soldiers. Both were motivated by their love for their motherland. But there were others factors that drove the two sides to such desperate fighting.
One, both sides knew that this was a no-holds bar war. Not fighting was thus not an option.
Second, both Hitler and Stalin had squads that killed any deserter. Turning away from fighting was just not possible.
Thus was seen some of the most bitter, brutal and desperate fighting on the WW2 eastern (Russian) Front.

The reason the German soldier did not rape and loot as the other armies did. Including the US. (I was there) was the discipline. Half the troops or at least a great number of troops on my train to the front were AWOL's or deserters. That would not have happened in the German military. You left your post you were shot. Simple as that. Germans knew that so deserting was not an option. But the ordinary soldier knew that also applied to the officers. You did your duty or else.Remember Rommel? Hitler didn't care. Just follow orders. The respect for the officer by the ordinary soldier was good. I didn't have much respect for our officers. For months after the war we were still drinking instant coffee and instant milk. The general was living it up in London I suppose because I never saw him afterwards even though I was in 3rd DIVARTY Have a nice day
Great Comments
"The photos are nice, but I hate the way the nazis are portrayed. They are portrayed as always evil. Think about it. What do you think would happen when a country loses WWI? When they enter a depression and are stolen from by gypsies and jews?! Also, the Russians were just as brutal if not worse. They ran the gulags! They murdered men, women, and children who opposed communism. Stalin's regime killed 65MILLION people in it's lifetime. Hitler killed 21MILLION. Take your pick, you politically correct WUSS!"
"ever heard of the saying two wrongs don't make a right. yes they lost ww1, but they started it so they got their just deserts. and hitler was pure evil,theres no doubt he was a great leader and orator that took advantage of a country in despair. he stood by people that were simular to him and used them to 'persuade' others in high places to flock to his banner. once in power it was easy to unite a nation with his speaches that germeny could rule the world at ANY cost, the hatetred between germany and russia was legendry with both country's sinking to new levels of barbarism.as for russia killing millions of their own under stalin, yes, that was an atocity in itself but it was an internal matter in russia. nothing to do with the west. germany treated the russians as less than human in fact, less than the jews and the feelings were neutral. the battle of stalingrad were tesamony to that. so picking someone to like because they killed 21m instead of 65m is just sick and shows what sort of person you really are. i will say though that although these pictures are interesting, dont belive everything that they show. the picture at the top seems to show two peasants being shot, both are women so we asume that they are inocents. not so, women fought along side their men with amazing efect. rusian women were excellent marksmen and made effective snipers and machine gunners. not behind them a machingun nest. its more likely that the machingun nest was overun and they are being shot for shooting german soldiers. that being said, it saddens me to say that many of the pictures do depict atrocities that the devil himself would be ashamed of.having never been in a war, i can't imagine what humans would go through under such horrific conditions. knowing death was just around the corner probly turned the most mild mannered men and women into monsters. im not going to justify there actions or condone them but to understand what they went through. i hope for all our sakes we never have to go through anything like it again. but i think we will."

Great Comments....
That unflinching devotion to service and country would be their undoing, eventually - there were many suicides in combat. German soldiers who just couldn't deal with the brutality anymore - and the crime. Even leadership attempted to murder Hitler several times.
The Nazis were Germans, but the Germans weren't Nazis. Not all German soldiers were so criminally cruel. Most criminal cruelty was perpetrated not by the German Army, but by the Nazis and their divisions (SS, Gestapo, etc)

Window treatment manufacturers are increasing their focus on providing eco friendly blinds and shades and making their operations as green as possible. We have identified these particular products as especially "green" based on material content, recycling potential or green certifications.
Material content such as bamboo, reeds, and jute comprise the majority of eco friendly shades on the market today. They are popular not only because they are kind to the environment, but because they offer an earthy, natural look that many people prefer. Woven woods are a term used to describe a category of eco friendly blinds and shades, and they refer to shades made with natural materials.
GreenGuard eco friendly blinds and shades have been certified by an environmental institute (GEI) to be fabrics that are defined as low-chemical and particle emitting. These products mean safer indoor air quality for your home and less toxins for the environment. Comfortex offers shades made with their EcoGreen environmentally responsible fabrics. These shade fabrics are PVC -free, 100% Recyclable, and LEED Certification Friendly, so they can be used as eco friendly window treatments in both residential and commercial settings. Certain eco friendly blinds such as some faux wood blinds, are made from specially formulated recycled materials that can be recycled again when it's time to redecorate. Many people like this option, as it reduces waste and landfill use.
Eco-friendly window treatments also include those that provide energy saving features, such as insulating cellular shades. Please visit our energy efficient products page for more information about money saving blinds and shades.
While more and more of the materials used to make and ship your new blinds and shades are made from recycled materials, you can also help to keep the cycle going by recycling the cardboard and other packing materials once you receive your blinds. And by purchasing products that are specifically designed to be environmentally friendly, you are helping to encourage the expansion of these types of window treatments and a "green" attitude in the window coverings industry. And, when you have selected your blinds, you can return your sample swatches to us so we can use them again, or share your selections with friends and neighbors.

I'm sorry... but everyone knows that you pack stuff like that in your check-in baggage, period, and that's depending you're even allowed to bring it into the US (they're illegal in California if my info is correct). If Steve is going to throw a hissy fit because he's not exempt from the rules of travel, then boo-hoo. A plane is a plane is a plane.
UPDATED: Steve Jobs stopped from transporting Ninja stars onto private plane
Bloomberg is reporting on the claims of a Japanese tabloid magazine SPA! saying that the Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, was stopped back in July by airport security at the Kansai International Airport in Japan. Jobs was reportedly trying to transport Ninja throwing stars onto his private plane before heading back to the United States from his family vacation.
blockquote>"A security scan at Kansai International Airport, near Osaka, detected the weapons inside the executive's carry-on luggage in July as he was returning home to the U.S. from a family vacation in Kyoto, the Japanese magazine reported, citing unidentified officials at the airport and the transportation ministry. Jobs said it wouldn't make sense for a person to try to hijack his own plane, according to the report. He then told officials he would never visit Japan again, the magazine reported. Apple declined to comment."
An airport spokesperson did confirm that a similar incident did take place at the end of July but would not name the persons involved. They did state that the passenger did discard the throwing stars and noted that both private and public passengers are subject to the same security measures throughout the airport.
UPDATE: Apple has responded:
"Steve did visit Japan this summer for a vacation in Kyoto, but the incidents described at the airport are pure fiction. Steve had a great time and hopes to visit Japan again soon."

UPDATED: Steve Jobs stopped from transporting Ninja stars onto private plane
It's being covered by every major Apple site (and I'm guessing it goes mainstream), and if we hadn't posted it, you'd be complaining about that.
Strangely, I enjoy you grumpy little anonommenters :)
I kinda feel a little sorry for Steve, when every little blow-up is covered by the Apple press. What's next: a breaking new story if he gets the runs?
I think this story is more a comment on our fascination on celebrity and our lack of respect for someone's privacy than anything.
What I don't understand is this -- if Steve Jobs had Ninja stars, how did they manage to stop them?
(In my mind, anime Steve Jobs doesn't move. The wind picks up. A leaf blows buy. All the guards crumple to the ground. Jobs glares slightly more glary, tucks away his Wushi finger, and silently boards the plane. Ninja stars gleam in the deep red dusk -- cue Kenshin music)
If he hadn't taken more than 1/2 a year for medical reasons... I could have tried to believe you on that. Even so, this is the land of anime and Godzilla we're talking about. I bet they have some super-fun-immobilizer-machine that would stop him in his tracks. :-p
Thank you united States for making airport security ridiculous. Btw- T.F Green in RI still owes me for a ruined PowerBook and a pair of walkie talkies. I'd rather drive or take a boat.
I'm going to have to agree with it being stupid to give the guy a hard time. He should have just given them to someone and had them mailed to his house after this happened.
It's silly but let's all go back to the nano hanging from our ear. I can just hear Rene's voice in the men's room saying hey guys guess where else the nano hangs.
I think this is news and shows steve is not god.
i knew this was fake, you can just imagine the disbelief at these stories at apple. Constantly having to put out these crazy fires is a full time job.
He's NOT a ninja? I'm disappointed...
BTW awesome TiPB crew avatars. They match perfectly haha
Typical CEO behavior. Arrogant, entitled, believing that they are above the law and everyone else. I can just imagine the Japanese airport officials just trying to follow protocol all while Jobs is throwing a hissy fit asking "do you realize who I am". Brilliant CEO no doubt, a-hole nonetheless.
The Japanese hate Jobs because he's a foreigner who succeeded against them in what they assumed only they could do right- making cell phones. At the same time, most customers desperately want an iPhone but are hesitant to change to the small carrier that has them in japan. All this said, he did what japan couldn't-- make a cell phone that didn't just appeal to engineers. And while most people want it, they badly want him to look like a stupid white man

Lane Snow may have been one of the smallest people in the Woodlawn School cafeteria during the Cub Scouts meeting on Oct. 16, but he was, by far, the largest in stature. Snow, who is nine years old, was honored by the area's law enforcement community for a simple, but deeply felt gesture.
On Oct. 4, as the funeral procession of Virginia State Trooper Andrew Fox passed through Woodlawn, Lane, in uniform, stood at attention and saluted, not just for a few minutes, but until the two-and-a-half-mile line of vehicles had passed.
"When we passed him, it was an unbelievable moment, and, you know, it just puts a big, old lump in your throat. It goes straight to your heart," said Trooper Chris Thompson, who was on hand with other troopers, as well as officers from the Dublin, Radford, Blacksburg and Giles police departments.
A trooper took Snow's photograph and posted it on Facebook, and soon the youngster's sign of respect was known not just locally, but internationally.
"I've had people from all over the U.S., three from Canada and one from Europe contact me about Lane," said Randy McKenzie, Lane's pack leader. "They want him to know they're proud of him and appreciate the respect he's shown."
When asked why he did it, Lane said it was because he "was sorry Andrew Fox died."
"I stood at attention until all the cars had passed, two and a half miles" said Lane, who had approached his parents, Albert and Melanie Snow, earlier in the day about his plan to show his respect.
"He was just paying his respects like a good Boy Scout should," said Melanie, who finds the interest in Lane almost overwhelming.
"We weren't expecting this. We just checked Facebook and one of his pictures had 205,000 hits," said Melanie, prior to the beginning of the meeting.
Although she is proud of her son, Melanie added, "(Fox's) wife is who everyone should remember. She's the one who is hurting."
According to several of the troopers and police officers, Fox's wife, who was unable to attend, was "very touched" by Lane's show of respect.
Lane's action come as no surprise to his scout leaders.
"It was a super thing he did," said Darrell Lineberry, Cub Master of Pack 810. "He didn't do it for recognition, but to show his respect and concern for Mrs. Fox."
"It's what I'd expect from a scout," added McKenzie. "Scouting teaches morals and character. (Lane) was being a good citizen and that's what scouting teaches. I've had Lane in scouts since the first grade and I've coached him, and there is no quit in that little man."
The troopers and police officers on hand presented Lane with patches of their respective departments and challenge coins, which "are a way of showing someone respect," according to Marshall Dowdy of the Dublin Police Department. He also received other gifts, including a certificate of appreciation of the Virginia State Troopers and a plaque from the Radford Police Department.

I posted a fruit cobbler not too long ago and made a promise to my readers that I would make – and post – my own favorite, reliable, best ever Peach Cobbler recipe before the end of peach season. Well, I never break a promise. Mostly. (And if I ever did admit to lying, and what girl would? then rest assured that a larger-than-life evil lie to harm anyone would never pass these lips, only the rare little white lie to protect the innocent…me). But when it comes to food I spit on the palm of my hand and cross my heart and do as I say. I am a nice person when it comes to food.
We arrived home from brilliantly sunny Florida a mere two weeks ago or so to the beginning of autumn here in France. Leaving the blistering heat behind, we were greeted by the hug of fog and the spatter of rain on our faces as we stepped off of the plane. Several days of gray skies and incessant rain pulled us back to the reality of home and we understood that summer was over and it was time to get back to work. Patience, patience and once we were settled in, the sunshine, that delicate fall sunshine lit up the fluffy white clouds floating lazily through the blue skies. Crunchy golden leaves litter the sidewalks and the air smells crisp and clear. Now summer plays tag with the fall, sunshine and rain dash in and out of the trees each trying to outdo the other as the days go from chilly and damp to warm and spectacular as each tries to claim this month of August as her own. September approaches and we try and grasp onto the last lazy days of summer even as we relish the cooling, glittery first days of autumn.
We drove out to the coast our first weekend back home so JP could take another dip in the ocean. He is still dreaming of Florida's sweltering heat, feet sinking into scorching dunes, having to jump from foot to foot, keep moving to escape the burning sand, dashing down to the water's edge towards the welcome lapping of the waves, the cool water swirling up around his ankles. He is imagining the Florida sun, squinting up into the piercing light as it burns into his eyes, stabs at his skin. Remembering, yes, but here in France late summer means the beginning of autumn, and it is already cooler as we step out of the car and shoulder our tote bag of towels and books. No straight line of white, sandy beaches going on and on as far as the eye can see. No, the French coast opens up here and there, offering tiny secluded coves of deep golden sand the color of graham crackers, the waves crashing up against jagged heaps of deep charcoal gray slate, tiny pools of water cradled in the craters in the rocks, shimmering in the hazy late morning light. A cool breeze kisses my skin as the sun warms my back and I settle down with my book as JP dons his swimsuit and gleefully wends his way down to the waves. I bury my nose in my book as JP heads off to take his swim. He comes back quickly, astonished at how chilly the water is! No Florida this! He brings me back treasures, an oyster shell, a plump, angry crab who skitters away the moment his body is placed back on the sand. We soon decide that it is time to head into Pornic and enjoy a seafood platter for lunch as we savor the last days of vacation and the fading summer.
The following weekend, the glimmering light and nip in the air pull us out of our beds and in another direction towards something much more seasonal. We don our walking shoes, hook the leash around Marty's neck and head out for a long meander through the vineyards, now lush and green at this time of year, our favorite Saturday morning haven. Marty dashes in and out of the vines, breathing in all of the smells of the great outdoors, alert to each and every bug, animal and plant sound and movement (although for some reason he completely misses the three stunning deer who we spy grazing on the leaves and grapes up atop the hill). Arms hugging our bodies to ward off the unexpected chill, we turn our faces up towards the sun and walk, deeper and deeper into the lovely landscape. We have always found this the perfect spot for talking, dreaming of our future, making crazy plans, testing each one as it rolls off of our tongue, laughing at the absurdities of life and the foibles of our fellow man. We clear our heads of the weeks' worries, brush the stress of the daily grind off of our shoulders where the burden is the greatest, weighing us down, and we leave the vineyards, head back to the car just a tad more content, our step just a little lighter and ready to enjoy the rest of the weekend.
And the autumn chill in the air, the bright, crisp sunshine against azure skies has me dreaming of pumpkin. And pears. Mushrooms pepper my thoughts and sweet potatoes dance before my eyes. Yet as much as I adore all things autumn, I revel in the last of the summer fruit. The market stalls breath summer, peaches and nectarines are piled high, red and yellow, soft golden apricots and plums in yellows and greens, reds and purples, tumble from wooden crates across the faux grass decorating each stall. Cherries are long gone as are the sweetest of the strawberries and the occasional tiny cardboard box of raspberries shamelessly calls my name, luring me like a handful of rubies, but my heart truly belongs to the peaches. I love peaches and we are at the height of the season in France. Plump and ripe, juicy and sweet, sweeter than any peaches we've eaten in many a long year. When I was a kid, I preferred my peaches hard and crunchy like the best apple only sweeter, fruitier, the satisfying bite into the flesh a pleasure I could enjoy forever, eating one after another all day, all summer long. But now I find the greatest satisfaction in the ripest of the bunch, at the peak of sweetness. I buy them by the bagful, returning day after day for more. One luscious peach is the perfect ending to any meal, whether an elegant dish of lobster or scallops or a humble sandwich, a peach is the only dessert I need. JP places one, the ripest, on the center of his plate and, using our sharpest paring knife peels the skin off of the fruit and cubes the flesh, stabbing each tender chunk one at a time and slipping it onto his tongue. I, on the other hand, American that I am, carefully, gently wash my peach so as not to bruise the delicate fruit, and bite joyfully into the flesh, the juice running down my arm, dribbling over my chin, enjoying the entire childlike experience, savoring the flavor, the sweetness, the texture.
Let autumn come, stunningly bright, marvelously cold, her brilliant sun splashing across the white of the buildings and in through my windows, yet keep these tantalizing beauties for just a while longer, these lovely peaches of red and purple and gold, their velvety softness and sweet perfume luring me, beguiling me with the promise of eternal summer.
Old fashioned and just about perfect
4 generous cups (6 – 8 depending on the size) peeled, thickly sliced ripe peaches
½ cup* (100 g) + 3 Tbs (45 g) granulated sugar
1 tsp lemon zest
1 Tbs freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups (200 g) flour
1 Tbs baking powder
½ tsp salt
1/3 cup (75 g) sweet butter, chilled
1 egg lightly beaten
¼ cup (65 ml) milk
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Butter a 2-quart (2-liter) glass or ceramic baking dish.
Arrange the peeled, thickly sliced peaches in the buttered baking dish. Sprinkle with the ½ cup sugar, the lemon zest and juice, the vanilla and toss. Bake for 20 minutes until the peaches are tender, glazed and the juices are bubbling.
While the peaches are baking, make the cobbler dough by sifting the flour, baking powder and salt together into a large mixing bowl and then tossing with 1 tablespoon of the remaining sugar. Feel free to stir in a dash of ground cinnamon if you like. Cube the butter and toss in the flour then rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles cornmeal or damp sand. Whisk the egg into the milk then pour onto the flour mixture. Stir with a fork until well combined and has become a thick batter.
Remove the cooked peaches from the oven and, working quickly, drop the dough by very large even spoonfuls onto the peaches. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of the sugar evenly over the dough and return the dish to the oven to bake for 15 – 20 minutes until the dough is puffed up, firm and golden brown.
Serve warm – not hot hot as fresh-from-the-oven fruit juices may burn! – with freshly whipped, slightly sweetened cream or a scoop of your favorite ice cream.
Now, I must explain why I love this Peach Cobbler so, why it is our favorite. The fruit it perfectly sweetened, perfectly cooked. And don't be afraid to toss a handful of raspberries or blackberries in with the peaches. Yum! But the cake part of the cobbler is tender, dense and just moist enough that it isn't dry in the mouth (like other cobblers may be), the perfect texture, barely sweet like a simple drop biscuit or muffin, the ideal foil for the sweet, sweet fruit and perfect to sop up the juices with. Even after one or two days in the refrigerator, the "cobbles" are still tender and delicious, becoming neither hard nor dry in the cold. A fabulously easy, stunningly delicious Peach Cobbler.

I really really love peach cobbler. Your version looks spectacular! We've had a bumper crop of peaches this year in the south, so I have no shortage to whip this little beauty up. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your last days of summer!

This post reminds me once again, that those old-fashioned standards are just that for a reason. I haven't made a good cobbler yet this season but I have fresh peaches on my table this very minute. And a good peach cobbler always reminds me of summertime w/family.

Sometimes Old fashioned homey desserts are just what we need for the transition into fall. I love peach cobbler and the peaches on my kitchen counter may have found a home.

This recipe looks like something I have eaten at a friend's house years ago and never got around asking her for the recipe - now you submitted it, thanks a lot. Will try it but unfortunately it is too cold here for growing peaches so I will try it with raspberries. I am sure it will work too.
Greetings from Germany

magic time of childhood when i uses to watch my mother baking peaches picked up in our garden curious of each step in the preparation of something similar to that peach cobbler whose delicious smell was filling our home and we could not wait to taste the first bite.
thank you for that taste of a loving home again margot desmarais

I'm SO ready for fall. (I'm in Texas, so we still have a few months to go.) The good part is that we still have plenty of peaches, and this cobbler looks amazing!
Also - thank you so much for visiting our blog and for your sweet comment on the lemon tart. Hope it turns out well!

I have never made a cobbler as in Australia we do more fruit crumbles. This cobbler looks really good. I must try it. BTW, I just love your story!

Oh, that crust. It looks so crunchy and sweet. We had a friend bring fresh peaches and cobbler topping to the beach where he baked it in a Dutch oven over fire. It looked just like yours. Fabulous!

Mmm, peaches! Now this looks like the cobbler that I imagined when I made my apple cobbler earlier this summer - only as it turned out that was a different form of cobbler! This looks divine.. I might try adding some cardamom - not traditional I know, but oh so delicious!

This does look like quite a cobbler! I used to love crunchy peaches too when I was growing up. Like you my palette has progressed to flavoring sugary tree-ripened fruits.
I like the way you described your technique vs your husband's way of eating a peach. I'm afraid I am too American to use a fork and knife for this wonderful fruit.

Jamie, I had to check out this peach cobbler. AMAZING! As I tweeted, so looking forward to peaches coming back in season again here soon. They'd have to be my most favourite fruit, ever. Can you believe I've never made cobbler? I will have to book mark this for the summer! Thanks for sharing. :)

Oh yummy, yummy, yummy! I have a ton of peaches I need to use (just been eating them out of hand) and I've seen several bloggers doing peach cobbler..almost a last grasp at Summer fruit bounties, so I'm joining in :) Your peach cobbler looks insanely amazing!
As always, loved reading your post - the imagery of cool, crisp weather and leaves of Fall made me crave it. Fall is my fav season, and frankly, as usual come the mid to end of every August, I'm sick of Summer lol

Tuscarawas News Detail
Honors Students Tackle Area Childhood Obesity in National CompetitionPosted Feb. 13, 2012
Lisa Gulasy, Taylor Titus, Ryan Collins, Jenna Hedman and Christine Morgan comprise PRKent Bateman, a team representing the university in a national public relations competition.
Kent, Ohio (February 13, 2011)- Honors students Ryan Collins, Lisa Gulasy and Jenna Hedman, along with peers Christine Morgan and Taylor Titus, are tackling childhood obesity in Portage County as part of the Public Relations Student Society of America's (PRSSA) Bateman Case Study Competition.
The Bateman Case Study Competition is a national competition that gives public relations students the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to professional experience by challenging participants to research, design, implement and evaluate a full public relations campaign for an actual client. The 2012 Bateman Competition client-of-record is the United Way Worldwide, and the sponsor is General Mills.
According to the Competition's Project Brief, "The objective of the 2012 Bateman Case Study Competition is to encourage children, teenagers, parents, educators and community organizations to improve their individual health and the health of their community." The United Way Worldwide expects competing teams to develop a measurable, scalable, replicable and sustainable campaign to ultimately decrease skyrocketing national childhood obesity rates.
"Childhood obesity has tripled in the past 30 years," said Senior Honors Student Lisa Gulasy. "Today, one in three children is obese. The United Way Worldwide provided us the opportunity to change that through the 2012 Bateman Competition."
Bateman Competition Advisor Michele E. Ewing and Kent State public relations faculty specially selected Gulasy and her teammates to comprise PRKent Bateman, the Kent State University Bateman Competition team. PRKent Bateman is responsible for partnering with community organizations and recruiting other Kent State students to assist in campaign execution.
"The Bateman Case Study Competition is rigorous, but I'm learning skills that will benefit me as a future public relations professional," said Senior Honors Student Ryan Collins. "It's also giving me a greater opportunity to give back. Honors students are known for going above and beyond. I see the Bateman Competition as another way I can help Portage County, my adopted home."
PRKent Bateman began work on the project last semester by conducting thorough primary and secondary research. PRKent Bateman launched its campaign early February.
"Researching the issue was a lot of work," said Senior Honors Student Jenna Hedman. "Campaign implementation is difficult, too, but actually seeing how tactics we designed are positively affecting community members by changing how they think about health makes the hard work worth it."
PRKent Bateman will submit four campaign casebooks outlining the team's research, campaign theme and logistics and campaign implementation and evaluation to PRSSA Headquarters before March 29. PRSSA National will then select three finalist teams to present their campaign plans to judges in May. The winning team will receive $2,500 for their PRSSA chapter and a trophy. PRKent Bateman will know if it's one of the finalist teams April 23.
"It would be great to win and possibly see our ideas implemented on a national scale," Hedman said.
Gulasy agreed, but added that participating in the Bateman Competition isn't ultimately about winning for PRKent Bateman.
"Yes, this is a competition, but I don't think any of us are concerned with that detail just yet," she said. "We're not focused on winning; we're focused on gaining invaluable public relations experience and educating our neighbors about little steps they can take toward a healthier lifestyle."

Wind: 0 mph
It was a cool but sunny October 13 morning when 24 boats hit the water for Leg 2 of the second annual DisasTOUR triathlon in central Vermont. Competitors, some as individual ironmen/ironwomen and some as team members, had already logged about six miles on a rough-and-tumble trail run, and ahead for Leg 3 lay a topsy-turvy brute of a mountain bike leg. In between came six miles on a twisting, shallow stretch of the White River.
The DisasTOUR was the invention last year of Granville resident Sean Linskey, himself an avid paddler, in an effort to raise money to help families whose lives were devastated by the ravages of Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011. The towns of Granville, Hancock and Rochester along the banks of the White River were among the hardest hit communities in the state. More than a year later, many local families were still struggling to rebuild their lives after the widespread damage the storm caused. The DisasTOUR was conceived as an answer to their call for help.
But while raising money for needy families was the DisasTOUR's ultimate purpose, trying to make a jolly good time out of flogging oneself on a sometimes masochistically arduous off-road course was what really attracted the participants. Beginning and ending in Rochester, the route had almost every gnarly challenge nature can conceive in an off-road tri: lung-busting uphills, uneven, bouldery surfaces, sketchy, single-track downhill's for the finishing bike leg, and so on. By comparison, the river seemed relatively docile, essentially rapid-less and low, as is typical in mid to late fall in Vermont.
Any floatable craft without a motor was considered acceptable, and two competitors chose to navigate the course on stand-up paddleboards. The challenge in the paddle leg was not so much straight-ahead power paddling or deft rapid running but instead astute route-finding and trying to keep you boat popped, if at all possible. Those who read the river smartly and found the most snag-free path through shallows and exposed rocks were rewarded. Others found themselves upended or out of their boats, at times forced to walk/run until paddling could be renewed in deeper water.
For all, staying warm was also a central theme. Even in the bright sunshine, the temperature, which had been well below freezing at sunrise, barely breeched the 40-degree mark, and a gentle but penetrating wind that skimmed across the river's surface added to the chill. In exiting the water for the transition to the bike leg, paddlers were blowing on cold, damp hands and running across the beach on legs that appeared cryogenically stiffened. The last two ironwomen to arrive at the paddle transition looked like survivors from the Arctic; one continued gamely on to the bike leg, while the other had the good sense to throw in the towel right there.
For the record, the winning male triathlete was Alex White (3:27:54) and the winning woman was Magdalena Dale (3:42:39). The local team from Green Mountain Bikes, with kayak, were the fastest team with a time of 2:43:02, while the fastest canoe team, Sports Connection (mixed), came in at 2:49:55. The fastest team with a stand-up paddler was Green Mountain Valley School 1, with a time of 3:03:20. Overall, the fastest paddler, by a whopping margin of more than 11 minutes, was kayaker Jay Appleton with a time of 43:06. Fastest canoe men's was Watch This! at 54:13 and women's was Disastour Dames at 54:16. Full results are at www.coolrunning.com/results/12/vt/Oct13_2ndAnn_set1.shtml.
But if winning was the reward for a handful, the more satisfying reward for the majority was a sweet after-party featuring artisanal pizzas handmade in the brick oven behind Green Mountain Bicycles in Rochester by the master chefs from the New England Culinary Institute. By then, the bright, midday sun felt positively balmy, and the warmth generated by the camaraderie of the occasion and the collective feeling of mission accomplished made it feel like the halcyon return of summer in the midst of autumn's fallen leaves.

Beags responds to your Football League posers...
Peter Beagrie is here every week on skysports.com answering YOUR Football League questions.
The former winger, who played over 770 games, representing clubs in all four tiers of the English footballing pyramid, including Manchester City, Everton, Bradford, Sheffield United, Scunthorpe, and Grimsby, forms part of the Sky Sports punditry team for all the big matches in the Championship, League One and League Two.
So if you have a poser for Peter, whether it's about your team, a player, match or incident that has caught your eye, or a wider point on the Football League, make sure you send it in.
Read below for this week's column where Beags gives his take on promotion-chasing Hull, Watford starlet Nathaniel Chalobah and Millwall's play-off hopes...
Send your question to Beags
1. Mail them to email@example.com
2. Use the feedback form at the bottom of this page
Hi Peter, Hull have started the season really well and are playing some of the best football I've ever seen them play. They have a strong squad and have acquired a few good loan signings of late along with an experienced manager. How have they look to a neutral this season and how do you rate their chances come May? Ben G (Hull fan)
BEAGS SAYS: I witnessed first-hand at Bristol City what this Hull squad is capable of and they have genuine quality throughout, while I think their results could have been even more flattering had they converted some more of the chances that their attractive approach play has created. They are reasonably solid at the back, have creativity and width in midfield, and options up front and that augurs well. Robert Koren, a little magician with an eye for a killer pass, a dynamite right foot and the ability to find space has been Hull's most important player but much-travelled 23-year-old Sone Aluko has been sensational, whether playing as a tricky, snake-hipped winger or as an auxiliary striker, and has scored six goals. Sunderland loanee Ahmed Elmohamady has brought a new dimension to the Tigers, too, providing a conveyor belt of crosses when occupying a wide midfield position or playing as a right wing-back; and it seems like a shrewd move by Steve Bruce to bring the Egyptian in. If Koren, Aluko and Elmohamady stay fit, a play-off berth should be a cert.
Hi Peter, Last week you named Josh McEachran as the best loan player in the Championship but what do you think of Watford's Nathaniel Chalobah, who is only 17 and just earned his first call up to the England Under-21 squad? I can only see it being a matter of time before he finds his feet in the Chelsea first-team and the full England side. Thanks, Dean Lee (Watford fan)
BEAGS SAYS: I think Chalobah is an exceptional talent and even though his career is still in its infancy I would be surprised if he does not captain his country at full international level; when I say his country I mean England but he is also eligible, by birth, to play for Sierra Leone. He played for the England under-16s at the age of 13, the Under-17s, with whom he won the European Championships, at 14, is currently captain of the Under-19 side and made his England Under-21 debut at against Northern Ireland this week. Nathaniel is a fantastic athlete, tall and elegant, and equally at home at centre-half as he is as a central midfielder who can turn defence into attack. He is very composed and shows quality and a maturity beyond his years and if he keeps his talented feet on the ground, I not only see him breaking into the Chelsea team but becoming one of its brightest stars. Be thankful of Gianfranco Zola's connections with Chelsea, and the Pozzo family's ones with Udinese and Granada for that matter, as Watford are using the loan system to their advantage and are doing brilliantly at the moment.
Hi Peter, I know Eddie Howe moved back to Bournemouth for family reasons but with a bit of money at the club now, where do you think he can take the Cherries? I certainly think we get to at least top-half of the Championship within the next few years. Cheers, Alex Brown (Bournemouth fan)
BEAGS SAYS: There is genuine investment in Bournemouth now, Alex, and it is great to see a club come back from the brink and challenge the more established teams. Let's be honest, though, money talks and despite a tug on the heart strings prompting Eddie to return to Bournemouth, he was also remunerated healthily. The chairman, Eddie Mitchell, and co-owner, Maxim Demin, have vowed to continue developing the club from top to bottom but, more importantly, leave team affairs totally to Howe and his assistant Jason Tindall. The Cherries are certainly progressing and after play-off misery in the past the owners will want return on their considerable investment, and with five wins in six League One games and the gap to the final play-off place closing to five points, dreams of being a Championship side next season remain very much alive.
Hi Peter, Hi Peter, What do you make of James Beattie's move to Accrington Stanley? David Pollard (Accrington fan)
BEAGS SAYS: I think this is the last-chance saloon for Beattie and having gone 53 games since his last goal, there should be a hunger within him to make sure that at the age of 34 he is not lost to the game prematurely. Player-coach is the title he has been given and he won't be short of an opinion, but he must take his role seriously and lead by example amongst what is a primarily young squad at Stanley. Hopefully the fact it took him such a long time to find a club after he left Sheffield United in the summer has highlighted that you can't live off reputation alone - and made him realise that a life without football in some way, shape or form is unthinkable. The Accies will hope he can lead the line and find his goal-scoring threat quickly as they have a game in hand on most teams in League Two and are only five points off the play-off spots - but with some tricky games coming up, this weekend's match with struggling Barnet is a must-win.
Hi Beags, Millwall are on a great run at the moment. I was a bit worried about how we'd get at the start of the season but things seemed to have clicked. I'm a big fan of James Henry and think he's a key to our chances. What do you think of him? And do you think we could sneak into the play-offs? Charlie Stevens (Millwall fan)
BEAGS SAYS: I must admit, Charlie, that I shared your reservations at the start of the season when the Lions went out of the Capital One Cup to Crawley and then lost to Blackpool in the Championship, but after defeats to Sheffield Wednesday, Cardiff and Hull, the Londoners are now on a nine-game unbeaten run and are scoring goals for fun, though their record of just two clean sheets in 16 games shows they must tighten up at the back if they want to keep their fine run going. Darius Henderson has reacted brilliantly to being dropped at the start of the campaign, while midfielder Liam Trotter has been in excellent form. Add to that the goals of loanee Chris Wood and super-sub Andy Keogh and Millwall can beat anyone on their day. I have waxed lyrically about James Henry before and share your enthusiasm with regards to his ability; he is key to the Lions' success, providing natural width in in general play and excellent delivery from set-pieces. He must stay fit if Kenny Jackett's charges are to push for the top six.
Hi Peter, Why do you think Cardiff are so good at home and so bad away? From your experiences, why do some teams have such trouble when on the road? Joe Sharp (Cardiff fan)
BEAGS SAYS: Teams that play a really fluid passing game, such as Cardiff's, can be excellent in their home environment because they are able to use their crowd to their advantage - and Cardiff's crowd can be extremely vociferous. When things are tight your fans can suck that extra bit of out of players, as we saw when on the opening day of the season, when the Welshmen beat Huddersfield despite not finding their form throughout their 90 minutes. Away from home, though, your supporters are usually stuck up in a far corner and can't have the same impact and teams don't feel as comfortable. You also have to adapt your game on the road and be able to deal with the dynamic of not having as much possession and maybe Cardiff haven't done that yet, while I also think they have missed the pace and skill of Craig Bellamy, who has the ability to hit teams on the break, as we've seen how dangerous outfits like Crystal Palace have been on the road with the speed of Wilfried Zaha and Yannick Bolasie. I also reckon teams may have packed the midfield against Cardiff and tried to stop them playing, but now that Malky Mackay's men are on a bad run, sides might open up - and that could play into Cardiff's hands.
Don't forget to tune into this weekend's Football League fare as Tranmere host MK Dons (7.30pm, Friday, Sky Sports 2 HD), Peterborough entertain Blackburn (5pm, Saturday, Sky Sports 2 HD), and Millwall face Leeds (1pm, Sunday, Sky Sports 1 HD).

Thousands of dollars were raised today in downtown Bryan for citizens of West, Texas to rebuild their lives after the fertilizer plant explosion.
A benefit concert called 'Fest for West' took place at the Palace Theater from noon until 8 p.m. More than one hundred volunteers spent hours putting the event together.
"I think it's kind of a Texas thing where we want to help out our neighbor. You know, West is just down the road and we have a lot of community members with direct ties to West...and it seemed like this is what we need to do," said Rene Lawrence, Interim Director of the Downtown Bryan Association.
Barbara Peevey is a part owner of Brazos Glassworks in downtown Bryan, but her family is from West. She says members of her family were injured and several lost their homes in the blast.
"On every street there's relatives, so everybody was affected one way or another," said Peevey.
More than a dozen bands donated their time to support the people of West.
Organizers say all proceeds of tickets, food & alcohol sales will go to benefit the people of West, Texas.
While every dollar counts for the people who lost everything in the explosion, it was the show of support in downtown Bryan that moved Barbara Peevey and her family the most.
"It's hard to realize that there are people who will do this for their fellow neighbors, which I think is fantastic," said Peevey.
There's still a way to donate to the victims in West if you didn't get a chance to stop by the benefit. The Brazos Valley Media Gives Back Fund is accepting donations. You can donate at The Bank & Trust locations, or you can donate online through pay-pal.

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
With respect to Trooper Paul White's quoted statement in last week's Valley Reporter that "you can't ask them (constables) to be on duty and not be armed" I respectfully disagree. I have not seen evidence that being armed has been an effective feature for law enforcement here in the Mad River Valley. I would be happy to ask constables to serve well-trained for their duties and unarmed.
I tried to buy my stepmother a self-defense gun from former Deputy Sheriff John Southwick. "Is she ready to kill someone?" he asked. 'Nuff said, when said straight. Are our constables ready kill someone? How often has the need to shoot at someone really arisen here in The Valley? Are we as citizens willing to ask our constables to live with shooting at people? Who is going to pay the price? It is far more than insurance premiums. Insurance does not cover living with having killed someone--a perp or an innocent.
Police in the United Kingdom have been unarmed since the 19th century.
In Canada, auxiliary constables are highly effective in many jurisdictions and are well-equipped, well-trained and unarmed.
It seems to me we can have more fruitful discussions of where law enforcement will be most effective if we stop thinking of police as guys with guns. Police are most effective when they are guys and gals with brains, using educational, legal, persuasive and other resources to educate, to prevent crime, to control crime in progress and to investigate crime for prosecution. If our constables are unarmed, we get better law enforcement, and we attract the right people to the job.
In contrast to firearms, radar guns have done much to slow down traffic to safe levels for other drivers, for bicyclists and for pedestrians.
In contrast to firearms, Tasers (which do have some safety issues) are far safer for both the suspect and the officer.
In contrast to firearms, education and zero-tolerance of driving with alcohol consumed, combined with designated driver programs, have saved thousands of lives.
In contrast to firearms, neighborhood watch programs, alarm systems, and video monitoring equipment have deterred burglaries and theft and provided information for arrests.
Let's put our money, our training hours, and our discussions where they are effective. Instead of $2,500 additional to insure armed constables, spend that money on safe driver education at Harwood, neighborhood watch signs and other proven programs including ones that train constables.
In 1947, Western movie star John Wayne produced his first film, Angel and the Badman. In the final scene, our heroic gunslinger drops his gun in the dirt and lets the sheriff handle the really bad guy. The Duke had it right. Guns have their place. But sometimes you need to let go and get on with a better way. This is Vermont 2011, not Dodge City 1870.

My time of posting is all of the below...a time of learninga time of sharinga waste of timean invaluable use of my time
If, after this phase of life is over, God asked you why you thought and talked and posted so much about Him, what would you answer?What do you think you will think of yourself when looking back from the new heavenly perch? What will you think about all the time you spent on this forum for instance?Just curious.cp
CP where your treasure is,your heart is. ..He's the best thing that ever happened to us.Of course our mind is going to be on things pertaining to Him. Birds of a feather flock togather It is perfectly understandable why we would be drawn togather. Sheila
my bad, you was asking 'what' and I was answering,'why' Sheila
Why waste Sarah?
QuoteWhy waste Sarah?Nothing judgemental toward anyone here.There have just been times when I spent too much time on the computer when my time may have been better spent with my kids, finishing up domestic responsibilites, and even praying. Sometimes it is easier to get on and chat than to focus on scripture and ask the Holy Spirit for yourself. That's all.But for the most part my time hear has been fulfilling, encouraging, challenging and prosperous.
Thanks for the kind words Paul. The problem is the 'just start not neglecting it' bit as I sit here listening to my kids and my neighbors kids destroying my house. Oh well, I'm not too worried about it.

The Library is the prototypical transdisciplinary institute, welcoming aspiring artists, politicians, accountants, scientists, teachers, doctors, journalists, environmentalists, lawyers, social activists… anyone who comes here to read, learn, study, think, escape or dream. Libraries inspire us to seek out new ways of thinking.
In 25 short years the Internet has thrown academia's traditional scholarly communication systems -- developed over the course of 500 years -- into turmoil. Books and journals, long the dominant knowledge containers, are now juxtaposed with new digital vessels, which 'publish' research much, much faster.
Why have a Library when we have the Internet? Libraries are critical social institutions, particularly now. Our current mission is to create a scholarly communication system for the digital age. In doing that we face numerous unanswered questions and need solutions to a vast array of issues. Librarians contribute our skills and values to that mission, working in collaboration with professors, scholarly societies, publishers and technologists. Our goal is a system which will ensure that knowledge is created, disseminated and preserved for current and future knowledge seekers. Because digital information behaves in entirely new ways from analog information, our practices must evolve accordingly.
If we were building a new knowledge dissemination system from scratch in 2014, we would leverage the power of the Internet to facilitate widespread, immediate access to new knowledge. But knowledge creation is a complex undertaking. Entrenched intellectual, political, historical, sociological and economic practices do not easily make way for the "new." For example, traditional academic reward systems (peer review, tenure) are slow to legitimize new forms of digital scholarship and commercial publishers are not ceding their economic dominance to start-up open access publishers.
The committed and talented staff in the James A. Gibson Library work hard on your behalf to advance teaching, learning and research at Brock by:
- Providing access to scholarly information resources of the highest possible quality
- Empowering our users to find, evaluate and use information effectively
- Ensuring learner-focused library services and facilities
- Collaborating to create and develop the digital research infrastructure
In the age of digital information, no Library is an island. In addition to serving you at the local level we also leverage the power of the Internet at the network level, as members of OCUL, Scholars Portal, CRKN and CARL.
