Read Poems by
Charles Leniger
I would give you everything you ask of me if only to find forgiveness enough to befriend.
But it wont be enough i NEED your love theres nothing like it.
i want your friendship i want your love.
i need your God and you need him too.
Anything, absolutely anything i will do it a thousand fold and thousand fold over that!
every flower on the earth every sparkling glimmer of sunlight scattered cross the oceans surface every scene of beauty of hope of love of life i would give it all to you!
anything that your heart would desire i would do anything for you.
i wish your forgiveness. i don't expect it.
i wish your love. i fear its gone.
i wish your happiness. i feel i took it all.
i wish your want to be with me, but I've spit to far to get you back now.
I'm helpless. adrift so lonely, a victim of circumstance in an empty void of life.
who can call for home? home is non existent. i am nonexistent, the love the good the hope for all, ill take it down with me because i just don't care.
the only reason i am not already dead is because of that
still small voice that simply said, "just wait". So why not? I have nothing else to live for. My
curiosity killed me, maybe by some miracle it will give me life.
find my love in this letter and its yours forever. never betray me and I will stand by
your side till we are gone.

ShAFF Youth Audience Development Programmeadded Feb/2009, see all ShAFF news & reviews
Product news by Heason Events
We've been working with Aitchelle Sports Development to develop a ShAFF Youth Audience Programme in Sheffield and the Peak District.
A selection of schools were invited to show the youth programme (all the film makers concerned have very kindly agreed to let us show the films in a bid to inspire as many young people as possible), with two of them opening up their viewings to the wider community, sports clubs and local outdoor enthusiasts.
Schools in Chinley, Hayfield, Buxton, Wirksworth and Belper signed up to the pilot programme. Around 1,500 young people will get to see the film over the next three weeks. In addition The Showroom (the venue of the festival itself) will be screening the films on Tues 24 and Wed 25 Feb from 10.00 - 11.30 am to local school kids. One keen Sheffield school is bringing 90 kids down - supplementing their work on the topic of Mountains this term. Far better to learn about the formation of glaciers on the big screen as part of a fantastic range of films, than from a text book in the classroom! Perhaps one day these kids will be out their on their own expeditions, or taking up new outdoor or extreme sports........

For our latest Community Spotlight we're going to deviate from our normal format slightly. Guest editorials, guild spotlights, and other things we've folded under the community spotlight umbrella will resume in the coming weeks, but as part of our Fan Appreciation Month here on GW2Hub I thought it would be fun to run an episode of the column that's primarily focused on the awesome fans of Guild Wars 2.
Before we get started, I also wanted to announce the winner of last week's Win a Signed Copy of GW2 giveaway. Congrats go out to kipsys who won the first of our two signed standard editions of the game! For those of you who didn't win this time, never fear; we have a new giveaway kicking off each Wednesday this month with plenty of awesome prizes, so be sure to check back tomorrow night for details on our next giveaway.
Anecdotes from the GW2 Party
During the Guild Wars 2 party that took place in Seattle the weekend of PAX Prime, I spent the bulk of the night catching up with some of our friends on the ArenaNet development team, making new ones, and meeting various members of the community. Along the way I learned lots of interesting tidbits about GW2, including turning points in the game's development, the initial reception by PC gamers, and even what characters some of the devs are playing.
For example, if any of you have had the opportunity to meet Jeff Grubb, it would come as no surprise to you that he's playing a norn guardian. The jolly spirit of the norn race is a perfect match for Jeff's upbeat attitude and all around pleasant demeanor. He's also completely in his element when telling stories and talking lore with fans, and isn't afraid to admit that he hopes GW2 makes the successful leap to becoming a true pop culture phenomenon.
I also learned another interesting piece of the GW2 combat puzzle that night. A couple of years back during another GW2 fan party, I discovered that the costume brawl in Guild Wars helped serve as a proof of concept that combat can still work and be incredibly fun without any dedicated healers. As GW fans will recall, the brawl featured a Smiting build for monks, and helped pave the way for the eventual smiting of the "holy trinity" when it comes to professions fulfilling specific combat roles in GW2.
During the recent GW2 party, I also learned that the turning point in GW2 combat that paved the way for the unique profession mechanics had its genesis with the warrior. In a nutshell, retaining the original Guild Wars adrenaline system didn't prove to be all that fun with the new combat system. It not only created an additional resource to balance for in terms of skill usage, but also meant the warrior would always be diving into combat in a less than optimal state since a number of skills couldn't even be used until enough adrenaline had been built up.
The decision to split off adrenaline from the main weapon skill slots and link it to activation of burst skills instead marked a major turning point in development of the combat system we're now all enjoying in the live game. So the next time you change attunements, enter death shroud, or steal a glob of plasma, don't forget to thank your friendly neighborhood warriors!
Gwen in a Box
MMOG fans come in many, many different flavors. Some may be hardcore PvP enthusiasts, while others enjoy nothing more than a relaxing evening of exploring their favorite virtual world with a few close friends. In some cases, fandom for a favorite game can have a direct and positive impact on our daily lives.
Amongst the many new faces I had the pleasure to see during the GW2 party, one couple instantly caught my attention. Before the floodgates opened for the evening, I had the opportunity to chat with Kristen Perry and congratulate her on the successful launch. Later on, while making my rounds to get our giveaway box copies of the game signed, I spotted a young couple patiently waiting for Kristen to sign one of the most unique items I'd seen that evening.
Curiosity obviously chose to kill my inner cat, so I took a moment to introduce myself to Andrea and her husband, and get a closer look at the killer clothing they were getting signed:
How awesome is that?
Chatting with Andrea a bit more, I also learned that their daughter is named after one of the most prominent and memorable of all the original Guild Wars NPCs, Gwen. While Gwen is still a bit too young, I'm putting my money on there being flute lessons somewhere in her future…
Andrea was also awesome enough to send me an image of what I consider to be one of the most hilarious and creative uses for the GW2 collector's edition box I've seen to date. The image below is simply titled "Gwen in a Box" and wins my vote for one of the best fan images I've seen this year:
Thanks to the team at ArenaNet for hosting such a memorable event, and especially to the many awesome fans who attended!
I remember the sh*tstorm that
I remember the sh*tstorm that Reddit put up when they see picture of some guy's son in the box. This will make them happy, too!
Well written!
I'm a master baiter!
Again didn won nothing :(

Pingtone Communications Case Study
Pingtone needed an FCC-compliant 9-1-1 solution
Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Northern Virginia, Pingtone provides hosted (outsourced) phone systems to corporate, government and military customers in the United States and internationally.
Pingtone needed a partner to deliver FCC-compliant e911 for VoIP.
Here's what we did
Bandwidth's purpose-built emergency network is FCC compliant for Basic, Enhanced, and Next Generation 911 functionality. Because Bandwidth closely monitors the potential FCC regulations years before they are enacted, the i-Team was primed and ready to help when Pingtone called. Bandwidth provided a comprehensive solution for E911 including call routing, real-time address validation, and back office tools built on a single platform for ease of provisioning and support.
Here are the business results
With Bandwidth, Pingtone was able to provide nationwide e911 services as well as specific, customized solutions for remote, overseas facilities. This included seamless support and emergency services delivered to oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico that count on PingTone for voice.
Bandwidth also augmented existing processes to accommodate Pingtone provisioning cycles, ensuring accurate and timely provisioning of new customers. This included new reporting and new bulk import tools, which resulted in faster customer implementations.
Here's what the client had to say
Bandwidth (and its predecessor dash) has been at the forefront of e911 for years. Choosing them was one of the easiest decisions I ever made. Their technology and service is unparalleled and the i-Team is fast, responsive, and flexible."Robyn SmithVice President Service Operations, Pingtone Communications
Let's talk

Hillenbrand Exhibit
Sacred Heart Parish
|Coming to Sacred Heart Parish, Hubbard's Woods, Illinois
appointed July 15, 1944
Though Hillenbrand's tenure at Saint Mary of the Lake Seminary was notable for its liturgical and theological innovation, several forces converged so that he would be "promoted" to the pastorate at Sacred Heart parish in Winnetka, Illinois. Though Hillenbrand's fame grew on the local and national levels, mixed responses came to his policies and products, as pastors, faculty and business leaders protested his ideas. The newly ordained men coming from the seminary were appearing in parishes full of new ideas on liturgy and social justice not always appreciated by their pastors. Hillenbrand worked systematically to replace the Mundelein-appointed Jesuit faculty with hand-picked diocesan priests sympathetic to his own ideals, and business owners saw him as unswervingly biased in favor of labor. Moreover, Hillenbrand's many commitments required frequent travel and took him away from the seminary. Hillenbrand's famously aloof personality did not help his cause.
Hillenbrand is shown at left in Sacred Heart Church after the 1957 parish renovation. As a pioneer of liturgical reform, Hillenbrand sought permission to say Mass "facing the people" in the late 1950s, shown here in the short interim period when tabernacles were still placed on altars.
Hillenbrand's Renovation of Sacred Heart Church
|The 1957 renovation of Sacred Heart Church was Hillenbrand's most significant intervention in the parish's physical plant. Hillenbrand knew well the artistic leaders of the Liturgical Movement, and was himself a member of the Board of Directors of Liturgical Arts magazine. Hillenbrand was greatly influenced by the architectural standards of the day, which saw the altar, freestanding tabernacle, crucifix and rear wall hanging to constitute the "liturgical altar." His renovation, which did not occur without significant resistance on the part of some parishioners, reveals the somewhat radical influence of the dominant architectural establishment, which considered historical styles "fakery" and preferred singularity of image to multiplicity. The Gothic high altar was given to St. Mary's Church in Fremont Center, Illinois (where it remains today) and side altars were removed so as to have only one altar in the church. The crucifix and sculptures of the Blessed Virgin and Saint Joseph were completed by Ivan Mestrovic. Hillenbrand's signature intervention was the "Vine and Branches" sculpture by Joseph O'Connell on the rear wall of the sanctuary, a reminder to the people of their status as Mystical Body of Christ. The baptistery was moved to the front of the church to reinforce the connection between baptism and Eucharist. While Hillenbrand's renovation was certainly foreign to the architectural lines of the existing church, it nonetheless preserved the use of high quality marble for the altar and sanctuary and the highest level of craft, reiterating the importance of the sacred building and sacral action.

The Obama administration took a great deal of justified criticism about its indecisive and at times contradictory policies toward the events of the Arab Spring. But as events in Egypt are illustrating, there really are no good choices left there for the United States. The massive protests in Cairo that seek to force the military to renounce power are, at least on the surface, a reprise of the pro-democracy demonstrations that ousted Hosni Mubarak. But even as the United States signals it does not favor a situation where control of the country remains in the hands of a few unelected officials, it's fair to ask whether the military is the only force that can stop the Muslim Brotherhood and act as a guarantor that the revolution will not result in a wholesale destruction of individual rights rather than empowering democrats.
Though the United States has not done all that it could to promote democracy in the Arab world, it may be a mistake to interpret the demand for the military to step aside now as one that will actually lead to freedom. If, as the Brotherhood as well as Egyptian liberals demand, the military loses its power to act as a check on an elected government, that may be the tipping point for a descent into something far worse than a reprise of Mubarak: an Islamist government.
Egyptians are understandably tired of military rule and distrustful of what they believe are merely the corrupt successors of Mubarak who plan to rule no matter what happens in the upcoming election. But the conundrum for Egyptian liberals is if the Islamists win at the ballot box, it may lead to yet another case of "one man, one vote, one time" seen many times before in the Third World. Unless there are constitutional checks on the power of an Islamist government that are backed by the threat of force, individual rights, democracy, as well as the rights of the Christian minority in Egypt, may be finished.
The problem is that in the aftermath of Mubarak's fall, the military sought to do a deal with the Muslim Brotherhood that was rightly seen as the most influential political party in the nation. But the generals have now learned the Islamists won't settle for an arrangement where they get a share of power but not the ability to transform the country into an Islamist state. But having spent the last several months seeking to repress the liberals, they are now in no position to seek their support in a power struggle with the Brotherhood. Instead, it is the liberals who are out on the streets making common cause with the Islamists who, if given the chance, will use any power they gain to ensure democracy and individual rights are doomed.
This is a confusing situation and a reminder that even a skillful U.S. government can't always impose its will or beliefs on other countries. The Obama administration has been anything but skillful in handling this situation, but at this point, Washington doesn't have any good choices. Yet the United States still has considerable leverage in the form of the $2 billion in aid that goes to Egypt on an annual basis. Despite our revulsion at what is going on in Cairo, this is not the moment to be revoking that aid. Instead, we should be signaling the military that we might support their position if they commit to acting as a check on the Islamists and the guarantor of genuine democracy. Obama must understand the worst-case outcome is a victory for the Muslim Brotherhood. It is that all-too viable scenario the West must seek to avoid.

Incompetent or inadequate valves within the veins along the spermatic cord cause a varicocele. The abnormal valves obstruct normal blood flow causing a backup of blood, resulting in enlargement of the veins. Varicoceles usually develop slowly and usually have no symptoms. Varicoceles are a common cause of infertility in men.

The volunteers of Tri-County Christian Crisis Ministry begin each work day hand-in-hand, in a circle of prayer.
As an organization formed by the Tri-County Ministerial Association, which is comprised of dozens of local churches, the Christian faith comes into play every single day at Tri-C.
Tri-C's statement of faith reads, "We are therefore compelled to minister to the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of God's people as a means of drawing them into the circle of God's love." And that is just what Tri-C does.
From the organization's beginning in 1986, Tri-C has been serving 10 zip codes in the Tri-Country area, including Elkin, Jonesville, Dobson, Boonville, Hamptonville, Ronda, State Road, Roaring River, Traphill and Thurmond, with the general purpose of establishing a system of response to the emergency needs of the people in the area.
"The most rewarding part of this job is knowing that we make a difference in people's lives, taking the blessings that our contributors and donors give us, and being able to pass those blessings on to others in the community," said Heather Macy, director of Tri-C.
Last year alone, Tri-C served 6,849 people, which is 968 more than the year before. Tri-C determine's eligibility based on case by case basis. People coming for assistance have to provide proof of income (or if unemployed, demonstrate a sincere effort to find a new job). Also now required is proof of residency, and submission of all bills.
"We take income versus expense information to determine who is eligible; all income coming into the home versus all bills that go out of the home," Macy said.
Once the need is verified, Macy and the Tri-C volunteers get to work.
With pantries stocked to the ceiling at Tri-C, it's easy to think that food is the only assistance the organization offers. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Tri-C is not only available to supply individuals and families with food assistance, the organization can assist with power bills, water bills, heating, cooling, medicine, and clothing.
"We can pretty much fill the need of anything a client may need. Even people that may not need food because they receive food stamps, they may just need the toiletry items because you can't purchase those with food nutrition monies. Sometimes those are asked for more than the food," Macy said.
While a number of people needing assistance are those with growing families, the numbers are quite high for those who are elderly, too. Often times elderly people are faced with the decision to spend money on food or medication. "We see a lot of elderly people that need assistance with medication," Macy said.
The organization stays afloat with the help of 35 local churches and 65 regular volunteers.
"When Tri-C formed, it was a combined effort of the Ministerial Association, and that's how we still operate. Of those churches in the Ministerial Association, some are giving food but many of those are giving money and then many people are volunteering from different churches," said Peggy Dudley, President of Tri-C's board.
Even with a constant flow of volunteers, more are always needed to work in various areas. Individuals can volunteer to work sorting and stocking shelves with food, maintaining daily records and files, interviewing potential clients, or by making presentations to various groups about the agency.
"We continue to always need support. We need people to volunteer," Dudley said. "It is because the community has been so helpful that we're able to do this."

Shea Terra Organics Mongongo & Banana Hair Food Masque Deep Conditioning| Conditioner, Mask
see all Shea Terra Organics products
(Rated 3/5 based on 1 reviews) Login to add your review
I've been using this product for a couple of weeks, but I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about it. Some of the pros: 1.) This product smells really yummy! Like Banana Laffy Taffy. I smell like it for a good part of the day. 2.)It seems to coat my hair...my curls hold together a little better when I use this. Normally when I keep my hair natural(using no product) it becomes very untamed and frizzy. Some of the cons: 1.) Very thick, clay like consistency, which I suppose is normal for a hair masque...but it doesn't spread super easy. I usually have to comb it through to get it to spread evenly. 2.) Absolutely no slip whatsoever. It's almost hard to tell if it's working. I'll keep using it until the jar is emptied, but I probably won't purchase again. If I do, it'll just be so I can have hair that smells like Laffy Taffy! I hope this helps.

Baby Boils Treatment – Safe Methods to Treat your Delicate Baby
Boils usually occur due to a bacterial infection. If a single boil occurs somewhere on the baby's skin then it can be effectively controlled by using simple home remedies. However, if you find that boils are widespread and are causing discomfort to the baby then it is essential to consult a pediatrician right away.
If the boils keep recurring then a bacterial culture is the best way to ascertain the actual cause of such boils.
Some of the best ways to tackle boils in babies are as follows:
- The babies should always be given medicine that has been prescribed by a doctor. The recommended dosage should be strictly followed to avoid any complication.
- The baby and the rest of the family should have separate towels. The baby's towel should be washed frequently.
- The place where the baby plays should be disinfected.
- Avoid giving a bath to the baby in a bath-tub to prevent the spread of the infection. A shower is a safe option. Chlorhexidine should be used till a couple of weeks for cleansing.
- Anti-bacterial soaps should be used to wash the baby's clothes.
- Take care so that the baby does not touch the boil. Touching boils is one of the ways by which they can spread to other parts.
- One should give the baby a healthy diet for strengthening the immune system. Weak immunity is one of the reasons why boils occur.
- Once the boil gets ripened and drained honey should be applied over the affected part. Honey is a natural antiseptic that controls the spread of infections.
- To cure recurrent boils Naseptin is usually prescribed by the doctors. This antibiotic is meant to be taken 4 times daily till a period of 10 days.
- Sterilized cotton that has been soaked in warm water should be placed on the boil a few times daily. This helps in ripening the boil.
- Poultices made from bread that has been soaked in hot milk can also help in healing the boils quickly.
The above mentioned precautionary and remedial measures can prevent the spread of the bacterial infection and cure the boils effectively.

The following works fall within Murphy's "Integral Equations" research area:
Much of Murphy's work on integral equations was centered around integral transformations. Using Murphy's notation, a function \(\varphi(x)\) that is equal to an integral of a function \(f(t)\) with respect to some kernel function, initially \({t^x},\) would be denoted as:\[\phi(x)={\int^1_0}{f(t)}\,{t^x}\,dt\] [Cross 1985, p. 123]. (More generally, the kernel function, \(k(u,t),\) is a function of variables \(u\) and \(t\) that allows us to perform an integral transform from a function \(f(t)\) to a function \(g(u)\).) Murphy's goal was to determine the function \(f.\) He adopted the limits \(0\) and \(1\) from Gauss' Methodus nova integralium valores per approximationem inveniendi [1815]. Murphy referred to this problem as "an inverse method of Definite Integrals, by which we may re-ascend from the known integral, to the unknown function under the sign of definite integration" [1832b, p. 353].
Furthermore, Murphy considered both continuous and discontinuous functions in his theory of integral equations. According to Murphy, it was necessary to examine discontinuous functions because "the phænomena presented by nature are mostly of that kind" [Murphy 1832b, p. 355]. Essentially, Murphy's examination of discontinuous functions was motivated by their applications in areas of physics, such as electrostatics, gravity, and heat [Murphy 1833a].
|Figure 5. Portrait of Pierre-Simon Laplace (Source: Public domain)
In addition to his work in mathematics, Murphy contributed to several areas of physics, such as the subject of electricity. In his book, Elementary Principles of the Theo ries of Electricity, Heat, and Molecular Actions. Part I on Electric ity, Murphy presented the theory of electricity. According to Cross [1985], Murphy's book was intended to be a text for students studying at Cambridge. At the start of his book, Murphy acknowledged that Volume III of the Mécanique Céleste [1803] of Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749-1827) was "indispensable in investigations respecting electricity" [Murphy 1833a, p. v]. Consequently, he introduced Laplace's work in a section titled "Preliminary Propositions." In general, Murphy discussed Laplace functions, and this was the first appearance of this term in English [Miller 2010]. Murphy expanded on Laplace's work and arrived at a more general class of functions which are of importance in the study of the theory of latent electricity. According to Murphy himself, he "obtained several new and remarkable theorems with respect to Laplace's functions" [Murphy 1833a, p. vi]. Interestingly, Murphy did not highlight what was "new" in his work because "that will easily be recognized by those who are already acquainted with the subject" [Murphy 1833a, p. vi]. An in-depth analysis of this work, to include revealing results original to Murphy, could serve as an interesting research project or potential thesis topic.
It is clear that Murphy made significant contributions to the fields of mathematics and physics, as demonstrated by his work on integral equations. Readers interested in a more in-depth analysis of Murphy's work on integral equations and contributions to physics can refer to Cross [1985], Grattan-Guinness [1985], and Wilson [1985].
We end this section by noting a key citation that the authors previously were unaware existed. Murphy mentioned "functions of operation of the distributive kind (that is, such whose action on the whole, is the sum of the actions on the parts)" [1832b, p. 354] and referenced the work of François-Joseph Servois (1767-1847) on the calculus [Servois 1814]. Previously, there was no solid evidence that Murphy read Servois' contributions to calculus, because Murphy made no direct reference to Servois in his "First Memoir on the Theory of Analytic Operations" [1837b], a paper in which Murphy used and expanded on many of Servois' ideas. In the next section we provide an exposition of Murphy's "First Memoir."

Jade. Viridian. Kelly. Moss. Olive... It's impossible to name all the greens of Ireland. And the feeling of being there - how do you capture that? Words won't do. A photo is good, but so much is missing. That sense of openness - of the land and the people. That enchanting fragrance of fresh rain and smoking peat. The elation of standing atop a cliff overlooking crashing surf. There's only one way to truly see what makes Ireland so special. You have to be there. To feel the depth of history. To be seat-high in a charming sea of sheep. To gather at a neighborhood pub with locals, so full of good humor and pride in their heritage. To behold infinite shades of green.

Guest Trip Reviews
The natural beauty of the hills of Ireland, coupled with Ireland's hospitality and the passion of our leaders made this an exceptional trip. I literally had tears in my eyes the last two kilometers of our last bike trip. I didn't want it to end!- Brooklyn, NY
The trip was fantastic. You did a great job choosing "back roads" and small interesting towns for us to visit. I never could have put such a fabulous trip together myself - it was such a pleasure to have everything so well planned out: great itineraries, restaurants and sightseeing choices. And our leaders - they were so fabulous! They were funny, entertaining, knowledgeable, helpful - I run out of adjectives to describe how great they were. They had everything so completely under control all we had to do was have fun. The food was great, every town they took us to was more charming than the last and the hotels were just lovely.- Washington, DC
This was my first Backroads trip, and it was one of the very best vacations I've ever been on. I am an avid cyclist, and it was pure joy to spend every day riding throughout spectacular scenery and not have to worry about anything other than riding. I got back at the end of the day, had a hotel and delicious dinners waiting. And the opportunity to meet new people and build friendships on and off the bike was great.- San Francisco, CA
This being my first Backroads trip, I really didn't know what to expect. I loved that within the structure of the itinerary, there was always room to move at my own speed. It meant that the trip was truly tailor-made for me on a day-to-day basis.- Palo Alto, CA
This is the best trip I have had the pleasure of taking with Backroads. The country and scenery were spectacular, the leaders were fantastic, and the "Backroads Way" (every little detail handled and then some) was in full force. I don't know how you manage consistent excellence like this, but no other company can come close! There are bicycle tour companies and then there's Backroads - where the guest experience is unsurpassed!- Benton City, WA
Very enjoyable trip! The rides were appropriately challenging, the scenery was beautiful and our leaders were knowledgeable about the area and lots of fun to be with.- Mahomet IL
We had a lot of logistics to consider when booking our trip that were not simple. Our Trip Consultant was superb at being responsive and patient while we worked things out and made the booking process effortless. Backroads is the best active travel company out there!- Benton City, WA
Another top-notch Backroads trip! Great itinerary and biking routes - a perfect blend of cycling time and free time. It was great fun! This trip was my niece's high school graduation gift from me. She chose Ireland, and I chose Backroads, because I knew that we would be well cared for, that we would experience the local culture and that the scenery would be stunning. You never fail to deliver! Thank you for your incredible customer service - it is consistently excellent from the people who you book the trips with to the leaders and other support persons. I always feel that I get my money's worth and so much more. My hope is that this glorious Backroads vacation will inspire my niece to get out and see the world. As we were leaving she turned to me and said, "Maybe I will come back here and study abroad." Perfect.- Los Angeles, CA
This was my sixth bicycle trip with Backroads, and based on past experience I had high expectations. The trip was everything I'd hoped it would be. I had got married since my last Backroads trip, so riding with my wife and introducing her to the Backroads experience made this trip especially memorable.- Indianapolis, IN
I really enjoyed the challenging biking, the scenery and the wonderful Irish people. What a great way to really immerse yourself into a country and its culture!- Nokomis, FL
I really enjoyed my trip. The guides were great and the food was really good. Bikes worked perfectly. The route notes were spot on. The amount of hills were just enough. Thank you for making my vacation a wonderful experience. See you next year!- Dallas, TX

CSN New England insider Tom Curran joins ProFootballTalk to break down every detail of the Aaron Hernandez saga. The Patriots released Hernandez a mere 90 minutes after his arrest, and Curran believes it was New England's only choice in the matter.
ProFootballTalk: Did Pats know of murder charges?
Despite DeMarco's departure, Cowboys committed to the run
The Cowboys ran the ball more than 30 times a game last season, and DeMarco Murray got most of the work, with an NFL-high 392 carries for 1,845 yards. With Murray now in Philadelphia, will the Cowboys' commitment to the run change?
Not according to offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, who says one player — even a player as good as Murray — wasn't the reason the Cowboys ran the ball so often last year.
"Yeah, that's not going to change," Linehan said on KRLD, via the Dallas Morning News. "And that was by design – we talked about it extensively, Jason [Garrett] and I did . . . wanted to get back to a little bit of the 'old' Cowboys. . . . DeMarco had a lot to do with that. Obviously, we have a tremendous offensive line, tight end group, and the support group around him, but it will be a really fun challenge for us to duplicate that."
If Linehan is really as committed to the run as he was a year ago, then Joseph Randle and Darren McFadden are going to get a lot of carries this year. Behind the Cowboys' offensive line, they may be as effective as Murray.
Earl Thomas among six Seahawks on PUP/NFI lists
The Seattle Seahawks are currently without both of their All-Pro safeties for the start of training camp.
While Kam Chancellor is holding out in hopes of leveraging a new contract, free safety Earl Thomas was among six players placed on the physically unable to perform and non-football injury/illness lists by the Seahawks on Friday.
Thomas is still recovering from offseason surgery to repair the torn labrum suffered in the NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers.
"We're going to be really patient at this time of year," head coach Pete Carroll said. "Not jump to a decision. He's working hard, making great progress. We'll wait and see how long it takes to be safe and secure before he goes out. He plays with such reckless abandon that he's got to be ready to go 100 percent."
In addition, the team placed receiver Paul Richardson, and cornerbacks Jeremy Lane and Tharold Simon were also placed on the physically unable to perform list. Safety Dion Bailey was placed on the non-football injury list with a hamstring issue and defensive tackle was placed on the non-football illness list as he recovers from kidney cancer.
Richardson tore his ACL against the Carolina Panthers in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Lane tore his ACL three weeks later in the Super Bowl and also suffered a broken arm that is still problematic as well.
Richardson is ahead of schedule with his recovery. However, Lane isn't nearly as far along.
Simon has a shoulder injury but is expected to be able to take part in the preseason.
Players can be activated from the PUP and NFI lists at any time during the preseason.
Pete Carroll still hopeful for deal with Bobby Wagner
Russell Wilson received a shining new contract from the Seattle Seahawks on Friday. Meanwhile, fellow 2012 draft pick Bobby Wagner continues to wait for one of his own.
While Wilson's contract eats up a sizable portion of Seattle's remaining salary cap for this season, head coach Pete Carroll was adamant that it doesn't preclude the Seahawks from signing Wagner to an extension as well.
"We're still working, got big stuff to do today. We're still working. We're not finished, in case you were wondering," Carroll said.
"We're on it. Whoever thought that we were done with that thing that was not right. We're on it and we're going to keep competing to get that done. We have planned for this for a long time and nothing has changed in all that. Our guys are working at it by the hour here."
Wagner expressed support for Wilson in his new contract, saying he was "proud and happy" for Wilson. However, Wagner appeared sufficiently upset that he was still without a new deal himself.
"It could be done, it could not be done. When I have something to sign than it will be done," Wagner said.
Wilson and agent Mark Rodgers set a Friday deadline for negotiations for his new deal. Does Wagner have a deadline of his own in mind?
"Now. That's my deadline," he said.
Per the NFLPA, the Seahawks had $9.2 million in cap space before Wilson's contract was done. Wilson's new deal lowers Seattle's cap room to just under $4 million. That alone could be enough to get a deal done with Wagner.
However, the salary cap is only calculated off the Top 51 contracts in the offseason. In-season, it counts all 53 active roster players, practice squad, injured reserve, PUP/NFI, etc. So effectively, the Seahawks don't have that much usable cap space.
If Seattle were to get Wagner done, it could necessitate the need to part with other veteran players to get under the salary cap before Week 1.
Odell Beckham autograph session nearly leads to injuries
New York Giants fans eager to seek the autograph of budding superstar receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Friday almost led to potentially dangerous situation arising after practice.
According to Tom Rock of Newsday, the large crowd seeking Beckham's signature led to chaos with several children "brought to tears" while being pinned to the barricades keeping them in line. A woman also had a seizure during the wait, only to have fans just step over and around her. She was treated and released on-site, per the Giants.
Another teenage girl in a body brace was also crying in pain while getting shoved in her broken back.
The bleachers where the fans were standing then buckled and caved several inches. Beckham and others were then taken away from the chaos and the bleachers were cleared of fans.
Everyone appears to be OK, which is the most important thing. But the excitement around the sophomore season of Beckham is clearly palpable in the Big Apple and everyone wants a piece of their new star.
Jets' Devin Smith hospitalized with broken ribs
Jets rookie receiver Devin Smith suffered broken ribs today at training camp, and the injury was serious enough that he needed to be hospitalized.
The Jets announced that Smith will stay at a local hospital overnight and is expected to miss most if not all of the rest of training camp. He suffered the broken ribs on a leaping catch in practice.
A second-round draft pick out of Ohio State, Smith was expected to compete as a rookie to be the Jets' third receiver, behind Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker. Missing training camp will make that a lot tougher.
Patriots release emails to NFL on leaks of false information
Judge Richard M. Berman has told the NFL and the NFLPA to tone it down regarding the Tom Brady case. That directive apparently doesn't apply to the Patriots.
The website created by the team in response to the 243-pages-and-nearly-as-many-flaws Ted Wells report has added a new story. It's dubbed, "League failure to correct misinformation."
The item consists of a chain of emails between Patriots general counsel Robyn Glaser and NFL general counsel Jeff Pash. The Patriots explain that it is "presented to illustrate the attempts by the Patriots to ask the NFL to correct initial misinformation being reported by the media and to investigate sources of such misinformation, which could only have been league personnel."
The communications in question began on February 17, when ESPN's Kelly Naqi reported that the Patriots tried to introduce an unapproved kicking ball into the AFC title game against the Colts. (PFT later reported what actually occurred.) The report from Naqi also contradicted, to a certain extent, the original report from Mortensen.
Patriots spokesman Stacey James complained to NFL spokesman Greg Aiello that "we have ANOTHER leak . . . resulting in a report providing details that no one else would possibly have in a story that tries to implicate a day of game employee." James also mentioned in his email the NFL's ongoing refusal to release the accurate PSI measurements, despite the original ESPN report that 11 of 12 Patriots footballs were two pounds under the 12.5 PSI minimum.
"I cannot comprehend how withholding the range of PSIs measured in the game is beneficial to the NFL or the Patriots," James wrote. "I can only assume, based on the scientific evidence that has been provided to us by multiple independent scientists that the PSI numbers will be within the scientific range. If we had been provided this data within days of the original report, we could have changed the narrative of this story before it led all national news and the damage was done. It has been over 4 weeks and we still can't get a simple detail that I assume was available the night of the AFC Championship Game!"
The next morning, Glaser forwarded the Stacey James email to Pash, reiterating the team's earlier request that "the scope of Ted Wells' independent investigation be expanded to include a review of actions by League personnel." Glaser said that Pash had promised to "consult with the Commissioner" about the request, but that Pash never responded after that.
Pash replied within 30 minutes, saying that "I have no reason to think [the latest ESPN story] came from our office but I certainly do not condone leaks which I do not serve [sic] anyone's interest."
Glaser argued in response that "the leaks would only come from the League office as it would not serve anyone else's purpose" and urging Pash "to bring your staff and office under control."
"We have cooperated fully and expediently with Attorney Wells and are now seriously starting to question whether we should do that while our public image and brand continues to be unnecessarily and irreparably tarnished by the League," Glaser wrote.
Pash later told Glaser that he has "doubts that piecemeal disclosures are likely to accomplish much," and that "[i]f anything, I would think they are likely to prompt additional questions, additional stories, and additional irresponsible speculation and commentary."
And then Glaser had enough.
After calling Pash's responses "pretty disingenuous," Glaser explained that "if the League is disclosing information that is correcting inaccuracies and misinformation that are currently are hammering away at our brand, we WELCOME the additional stories and commentary."
"Jeff, you need to step up," Glaser wrote. "I can't tell you the number of times you've told me that you and your office work for us member clubs. It has been made resoundingly clear to us that your words are just a front. They have no substance at all. If you worked for us, you would already have released today a statement to the effect of, [']ESPN, you've got it wrong. You do not have full information, you are irresponsibly reporting information that is untrue and you need to stop. Furthermore, as you now know and report reporting yourselves, your original story that 11 of 12 balls were 2 pounds below the minimum allowable psi was just blatantly wrong, we know that because we have the information and here it is…[']
"I would appreciate it if you would please tell me everything you are doing, and will continue to do, to stop leaks from occurring. This is information we do not have. We know of not one thing you are doing internally to investigate the sources of the leaks and/or to curtail them. We do know that the one thing we've asked you to do — include the League leaks as part of the scope of the Wells investigation — has been rejected by you. So do you blame us for wondering just what the heck you mean when you said, 'I will continue to do what I can to stop leaks from occurring'?"
The last message in the chain comes from Pash, who called Glaser's message "personal and accusatory." He also declined to provide a point-by-point reply, acknowledging that he works for all teams, not just the Patriots.
"Sometimes that creates tension, as it apparently has here," Pash said.
Still, the messages make it obvious that the Patriots repeatedly asked the NFL to direct Wells to explore the leaks as part of his investigation, and that the NFL refused to do so.
That directly contradicts comments from Commissioner Roger Goodell at a press conference in May. Pressed by Tom Curran of CSNNE.com on whether Ted Wells was asked to investigate leaks (including the original 11-of-12-balls debacle), Goodell said that Ted Wells "had the opportunity to evaluate that."
Apparently, he didn't. But that doesn't make it too late for Wells or someone else to make another million or so finding out who in the league office turned #DeflateGate from an act of gamesmanship at worst into the crime of the century, all by leaking blatantly false information to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.
Charges against Aaron Kromer and son dropped
On Thursday, Bills offensive line coach Aaron Kromer and his son pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor battery charges stemming from an incident in which both Kromers were accused of hitting minors during a dispute over beach chairs in Florida earlier this month.
There was another court date set for both Kromers in September, but it won't be necessary. Bill Eddins, the State Attorney for the First Judicial Circuit in Florida, announced in a press release, via Mike Rodak of ESPN.com, Friday that the charges have been dropped against both men.
Per the release, the charges were dropped at the request of the parents of the two minor children allegedly struck during the incident. The parents said injuries sustained by their children were minor and that they didn't wish to have their lives disrupted any further. The release also references an "amicable resolution" had been reached between the parties.
Kromer was placed on paid leave after his arrest and Bills coach Rex Ryan said before the charges were dropped on Friday that he had no update on Kromer's status. Presumably the decision to drop the charges will lead the Bills to make a decision about whether Kromer will be back with the team this season.
Judge asks for settlement talks in Brady case before August 12
On Friday, the NFL and NFLPA requested an expedited schedule for the resolution of the case involving Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's suspension with the goal of having the matter wrapped up by September 4.
Judge Richard Berman has offered a reply that suggests he's amenable to that timeline. Berman told the two sides Friday, via the Associated Press, that the has scheduled conferences for August 12 and August 19 involving the "principles" on both sides. That would include both Brady and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who upheld Brady's suspension after an appeal.
Berman also requested that the two sides "engage in comprehensive, good-faith settlement discussions prior to the conference on August 12." Brady and the NFLPA said this week that they made a settlement offer to the NFL that was not countered by the league and there were several reports about settlement talks in the case before Goodell offered his decision.
Berman's response suggests there's a good chance of resolving the lengthy affair before the start of the season and that could mean Brady is on the field against the Steelers to start the season.
Russell Wilson contract details begin to emerge
"New money" has become one of the great fictions in the assessment of NFL contracts. But, you know, when in Rome.
For Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, the headline is that he signed a four-year, $87.6 million extension, with a new-money average of $21.9 million. The truth is that the last year of his current contract, at a base salary of $1.542 million, has been ripped up and replaced with a new five-year, $89.1 million deal.
But since the average of the total five-year deal is $17.8 million, it won't be characterized that way when it comes to deciding whose is bigger.
For Wilson, the details of the five-year, $89.1 million deal have begun to emerge. With one important key metric still missing.
The signing bonus, per multiple reports, is $31 million. The total guarantee, per multiple reports, is $60 million. The amount fully guaranteed of the remaining $29 million in guarantees remains unknown.
It's a key point because the Seahawks and Wilson's agent had been squabbling about the portion of the contract that will be fully guaranteed at signing, since future fully-guaranteed payments must be placed into escrow now. (To raise the money, Gantt could have organized a bake sale for owner Paul Allen.)
The Dolphins fully guaranteed $60 million of defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh's contract. For Wilson, the question is whether and to what extent he has fully-guaranteed payments beyond the $31 million signing bonus.
The base salaries are, via Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, $700,000 in 2015, $12.34 million in 2016, $12.6 million in 2017, $15.5 million in 2018, and $17 million in 2019.
This makes the cap numbers $6.9 million in 2015 (plus any remaining bonus proration from his rookie deal), $18.54 million in 2016, $18.8 million in 2017, $21.7 million in 2018, and $23.2 million in 2019.
As the salary cap continues to climb, Wilson won't last long as the second highest-paid player in the NFL. From Eli Manning to Philip Rivers to Andrew Luck to other young quarterbacks who become stars, the bar soon will be pushed to $23 million, $25 million, and beyond.
By 2019, Wilson's salary of $17 million will be middle-of-the-pack at best. Before then, if he keeps playing like he has, Wilson likely will have another new deal.
Ray Farmer: I gave the NFL my cell phone in Textgate investigation
Tom Brady refused to let the NFL see his cell phone as part of the Deflategate investigation, but Browns General Manager Ray Farmer took a different approach when he was investigated in Textgate.
Farmer, who is suspended for the first four games of the season for texting members of the Browns' coaching staff during games, says he allowed the NFL to view his phone as part of its investigation.
"I turned over my cell phone," Farmer said, via Cleveland.com. "Again, I made the mistake. I made the admission. It is what it is. I'll deal with any penalty I got. If they saw fit to be lenient, than that was their call; it wasn't mine."
There are several differences between Farmer's case and Brady's. The phone was central to the violation in the case of Farmer; the texts themselves were his violations, whereas in Deflategate the NFL only thought Brady's calls or texts might have included information about rules violations. Brady is a member of a union that has a Collective Bargaining Agreement with the NFL; Farmer is not in a labor union. And Farmer has admitted breaking the rules, whereas Brady has denied any wrongdoing.
Farmer and Brady also approached the NFL's investigation differently. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said when suspending Farmer that he had been cooperative and that his suspension was lessened as a result, whereas Goodell criticized Brady for his lack of cooperation.
Bashaud Breeland's day gets worse, carted off practice field
We can now consider training camp season to be officially open, as we've had our first mention of the dreaded cart.
According to Rich Tandler of CSNWashington.com, Washington cornerback Bashaud Breeland was carted off the practice field with an apparent knee injury.
NBC 4 had video of the spill, showing a non-contact situation, where Breeland's knee collapsed as he tried to break with a receiver.
That makes this a really bad day for the second-year corner, since he was suspended one game by the league for a marijuana possession charge last year.
While there's no official word, they can only hope that's all the time he misses.
Jay Gruden: RGIII "starting to realize he has to put the work in"
Patience hasn't been a word frequently associated with Robert Griffin III during his NFL career.
Whether it was immediately entering the starting lineup after going No. 2 in the 2012 draft or making the start in the 2013 season opener after a knee injury in the playoffs earlier that year, instant gratification was the goal since Griffin joined the Redskins. Coach Jay Gruden told Albert Breer of NFL Media that he's trying a different path.
Gruden wanted Griffin to earn his spot as the starter last season and benched him during the season when Griffin failed to meet expectations, but has installed him as the starter this year with a plan to let Griffin ride out rough patches in hopes of improving.
"Let's see what he can do, and give him some time," Gruden said.
For the plan to succeed, Gruden believes his willingness to be patient has to be met by the same willingness from Griffin. The coach says that he's seen signs of it from the quarterback this offseason.
"He's not used to failure. He's very competitive," Gruden said. "It has an effect on him. He wants to be the best, and he's got a long way to go to be that. But he still has the confidence and still [has] the swagger where he thinks he can be, and he's starting to realize he has to put the work in and he has a lot to learn."
Gruden also pointed to the need for the team to play better across the board to help Griffin succeed, but the patience is only going to extend so far. The Redskins picked up Griffin's 2016 option, but it's guaranteed for injury only and they aren't likely to pay him $16.2 million if he doesn't look closer to the quarterback they want by the time the season comes to an end.
Vernon Davis no longer in the brand building business
When 49ers tight end Vernon Davis stayed out of the team's offseason workouts in 2014 in hopes of getting a new deal, he said that everything he did was in "the best interest of building my brand."
Davis didn't get that new deal, didn't have a good 2014 season and didn't make any waves this offseason. On Friday, he said that he's come up with a new approach that included firing the financial advisor who encouraged him to stay away from the team because that unnamed person "worships money." Davis insists that he's not laying down in front of that altar.
"That's not who I am. That's not what I stand for. I don't do anything for money," Davis said, via the Sacramento Bee. "I don't let money represent me. That's just not me. I play for the love of the game. And that's the beauty of this sport — it's that about the love, the teammates, your coaches."
Davis says he feels "great overall" as training camp gets underway and the 49ers offense could certainly use the kind of production he provided before last season if they're going to bounce back from last year's showing.
Photos show Jason Pierre-Paul in a sling with huge bandage
Giants co-owner John Mara said yesterday he wasn't quite sure how many fingers Jason Pierre-Paul had at the moment.
And while none of us can be sure, the first photos of the Giants defensive end since he lost a finger in a fireworks accident don't look good.
The New York Daily News has photos of Pierre-Paul taken in Florida, showing him in a sling with a gigantic bandage covering his right hand.
It's hard to tell much, other than it looks like he has a boxing glove on, and doesn't look like a guy who'll be participating in football any time soon. We already knew he lost his right index finger, but the way he's wrapped, it's unclear what else is going on under there.
"We don't know how extensive the damage is. That's the problem," Mara said yesterday. "I don't know how many fingers he has."
But at least there's something to look at now.
Joint NFL-NFLPA request could set stage for settlement
On Thursday, Judge Richard M. Berman made like the Honorable Moses Harry Horowitz (a/k/a Moe Howard) and clunked together the heads of the NFL and NFLPA, directing them to: (1) quit talking publicly about the #DeflateGate case; and (2) start talking to each other privately about resolving it.
The next day, instead of submitting a motion requesting a ruling by September 4 or, alternatively, an injunction allowing Brady to play until the case is resolved, NFLPA lawyer Jeffrey Kessler submitted a letter informing Judge Berman that the two sides have been talking, and that they've agreed on a proposed schedule for resolving the case.
They've agreed that the case can be concluded without depositions or document requests or testimony or the formal introduction of evidence in court. They've also agreed it can be resolved quickly, with the NFL and NFLPA submitting initial documents supporting their respective positions by August 7 and the parties then responding to each other's initial submissions seven days later.
The focus then would shift to the oral argument before Judge Berman, because that would be the day on which — before, during, or after the hearing ends — he likely would call the lawyers and a key representative from each party (perhaps Roger Goodell and Tom Brady) into his chambers for the purposes of twisting arms (or gouging eyes) in an effort to settle the case.
I've said all along that a four-game fine, with no acknowledgment of wrongdoing from Brady, would make the most sense. Although the NFL may strenuously object to that outcome, the league could feel differently if/when Judge Berman says, "You can take no suspension and a four-game fine, or you'll get no suspension and no fine. It's up to you."

As I was about to hit the snooze button for the last time, I paused to listen to the news report. After talking about CHP escorts in the Cajon Pass, they mentioned that there was also snow in Redlands and Grand Terrace. I leaped out of bed to see if it was snowing here in Moreno Valley. It is!
The last time it snowed was our first winter back in California after living in Colorado. It was completely surreal. I had to keep reminding myself that I was in California NOT Colorado.
I will try to get some pictures posted when there is a little more light. The mountains that are close to our house are covered with clouds, so I assume they will have snow on them once the clouds lift.
