Technical Leadership
The CASL Technical Leadership consists of the Focus Areas (FA) Leads, Deputy FA Leads, Project Leads, and Product Integrators.
Focus Area Leads
CASL FA Leads are recognized technical leaders and subject matter experts (SMEs) in one or more of the science and engineering fields falling within the scope of their FAs. FA Leads develop their Plan of Record (PoR) project plans, budgets, and staffing to complete milestones and are responsible for integration of their FA technical activities vertically (within the FA) and horizontally (across other FAs). Focus Area Leads both lead and participate in the technical R&D activities executed within each of their FA Projects.
Focus Area Leads are frequently called upon for documentation and presentations on the technical content, progress, plans, and challenges within their FAs. They support the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) in interacting with the Science Council (SC) and the Industry Council (IC) by making presentations at SC and IC meetings and assuring any action items in their FA are addressed as scheduled. They are responsible for judging the quality and completeness of work developed within their FA, and bringing to the attention of SLT any issues that require their attention.
Focus Area Deputy Leads
CASL FA Deputy Leads report to and work as partners with their respective FA Leads. They are charged with leading and representing their FAs in the absence of the FA Leads and in general help to ensure their FAs are executing efficiently and according to their technical plans. FA Deputy Leads, like FA Leads, are recognized technical leaders and SMEs in one or more of the science and engineering fields falling within the scope of their FAs. Typically, the Deputy Leads are experts in fields that are different from the FA Lead areas of expertise so that leadership breadth and depth is ensured within each FA. FA Deputy Leads may also lead one or more of the projects falling within their FAs.
Projects Leads
CASL Project Leads (PLs) are responsible for all technical plans, budget, and execution within the scope of the project. PLs are recognized technical leaders and subject matter experts in the science and engineering fields falling within the scope of their projects, and they lead and participate in the technical R&D activities executed within each of the projects. The PLs report to their respective FA Leads, but in many cases the FA Leads (and/or or Deputy Leads) also act as the PL. When the PL is distinct from the FA Lead, they are responsible for judging the quality and completeness of work completed within their Project, bringing to the attention of the FA Lead any issues that require their attention.
Product Integrators
Product Integrators have responsibilities for driving critical applications, products, and outcomes that cross over FA boundaries. They work with teams across FA boundaries to jointly deliver a specific product or outcome with VERA. Product integrators work with the FA teams to set and define milestones, to complete certain milestones as appropriate, and to review milestones for which they are the customer. Product Integrators will be established (or retired) as areas for application are identified and as CASL continues to evolve.
Challenge Problem Product Integrators
An overall Challenge Problem Product Integrator, who reports to the Chief Scientist, oversees solutions to the CASL Challenge Problems. An individual Product Integrator has been identified for each Challenge Problem. Five have been identified at present covering the following six Challenge Problems: CRUD, GTRF PCI, RIA, LOCA and DNB; more are expected as CASL continues to evolve.
The Overall Product Integrator interacts with the individual Challenge Problem Product Integrators. The individual Product Integrator identifies key steps for addressing the Challenge Problem, helps set up test problems (not necessarily experiments) to gauge progress on addressing Challenge Problems, coordinates with the Product Applications Lead, and proposes, schedule for completion of tasks.
The individual Product Integrators are responsible for updating the Product Technical Specifications and ensuring that VERA requirements are consistent with Technical Specifications, and that the Challenge Problem solution capabilities are practical for usage by industry.
Validation Data Product Integrator
The Validation Data Product Integrator, who reports to the Deputy Director, oversees identification of quality and relevant experimental and operating reactor data to be used for VERA validation and assessment, archiving of validated data, and assuring VERA validation is completed to prescribed standards.
Core Simulator Product Integrator
The Core Simulator Product Integrator, who reports to the Chief Scientist, works with a cross-FA team to ensure that the industry-driven design and analysis components of VERA, namely those "core simulator" components that specifically address basic industry workflows (e.g., load follow, core reload, core redesign, startup physics tests, core follow, etc.), are met and delivered in a timely fashion to users in AMA and outside of CASL (e.g., Industry Council pilot projects, etc.).
Product Applications Coordinator
The Product Applications Coordinator (PAC), who reports to the SLT, has overall responsibility for the management and testing of CASL products on real-world industry-relevant reactor challenges and problems. The PAC must work with the CASL Extended Leadership Team (ELT) to:
- Manage and balance both emergent and current opportunities for CASL products;
- Devise commensurate tactical and strategic requirements; and
- Establish implementation plans for those opportunities deemed appropriate to pursue.
The PAC works closely with the Industry Council Chair in being the external face of CASL to industry. The PAC also works closely with the CASL SLT to recommend product definition and application changes as well as any associated programmatic course corrections. The PAC works with and relies upon the Product Integrators to ensure that CASL products result from the timely integration of technologies and capabilities across all the FAs, and to ensure that Pilot Project and Test Stands are meaningful. The Project Manager and AMA and PHI FAs in particular will work closely with the PAC to ensure that current and upcoming PoRs are consistent and adherent to CASL Pilot Project and Test Stand plans and needs.

FC Dallas
Veteran Dallas Morning News writer Rick Gosselin featured rookie midfielder Ryan Hollingshead (right) in his column this week. Gosselin wrote about Hollingshead's decision to postpone starting his professional career in favor of spending a year helping his brother start a new church in Sacramento.
"When I said I was going to go help start that church and forgo that year of soccer," Hollingshead said, "I did not expect to come back [to soccer]. Not because I didn't want to or that the desire wasn't there. More because I thought that was my chance — either you come and play now or it's off the table.
"I wanted to play. But I wanted to plant this church first. That's what God was calling us to do. Once they left the offer on the table, I took it."

There's just 63 days left until the 2014 FIFA World Cup and ESPN just won all our hearts with this USMNT commercial.
By Mohammad Bushnaq
FC Dallas retained "El Capitan" with a crushing 4-1 victory over the Orange in Houston. After an action-packed back and forth first half, FC Dallas pounced on an ejection to Dynamo CB David Horst in the 60th minute to score three goals in ten minutes and seize the match with force from their rivals. With the Texas Derby win, FC Dallas has sole possession of the top of the table. Do the league writers all agree that this team is the concensus number one team in MLS right now?
MLSSoccer.com writers are way ahead of the curve. They had FC Dallas in 1st place of their rankings after the Chivas USA victory and have not looked back since. The league website editors cite this team's danger on set-pieces as a game-changer that could win matches even if the team is not having a great game.
COMMENT: Even if they're not playing well, they're always so dangerous on set pieces that they can just bury you. It was even through an hour this weekend, then Houston gave 'em an inch. And then it was over.
ESPNFC.com finally joined the party, elevating FC Dallas to the top spot in their rankings (3rd last week) while marveling at Je-Vaughn Watson's performance for the Hoops on Saturday. To Jeff Carlisle, this FC Dallas team is thriving because of Hendry Thomas in the center of the park.
COMMENT: Je-Vaughn Watson stuck it to his old team and then some, scoring twice and forcing an own goal in a 4-1 win over Houston. On the defensive side of things, Hendry Thomas was solid again in midfield, and it's clear his trade to the club was a steal.
Goal.com's Ives Galarcep also has the Hoops atop his latest power rankings. Ives believes FC Dallas will have their biggest test yet when they face the Seattle Sounders this weekend.
COMMENT: Oscar Pareja's side took full advantage of a second-half red card draw by Houston, ripping the Dynamo apart after David Horst's sending off. Je-Vaughn Watson did the most damage, punishing his former club to the tune of two goals. FCD's hold on first place in the West will be tested by the Seattle Sounders on Saturday.
Sports Illustrated's Planet Futbol are the only major media outlet that do not have FC Dallas at the top of their rankings. Planet Futbol says that FC Dallas was struggling before the red card changed the match.
COMMENT: Until David Horst's red card for the Dynamo, FC Dallas was on the ropes. It opened the scoring against the run of play, benefitting from a Ricardo Salazar call on the penalty, and Chris Seitz made a couple big saves until Horst was sent off. Dallas took advantage, scoring on a set piece and a counterattack to win big, but without that red card, the story may have been different.
Both FC Dallas and the U.S. U-20 Men's National Team are back in the Gordon Jago Super Group for Dallas Cup XXXV starting on Sunday and the USSF has released their roster for next week's tournament. FC Dallas defender Kellyn Acosta will play for the U.S. in his hometown Dallas Cup as well as defender Shaquell Moore who has been training with FC Dallas this spring.
Stay tuned to FCDallas.com next week for full Dallas Cup XXXV coverage as Luchi Gonzalez's U-18s take on the world beginning with a 12:30PM match on Sunday afternoon at the Cotton Bowl against defending champions Fulham FC of the English Premier League.
CHICAGO (April 9, 2014) – U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team head coach Tab Ramos has named a 21-player roster for the 35th edition of the Dallas Cup, which takes place April 13-20 in Dallas, Texas. The U.S. is in Bracket C of the Gordon Jago Super Group along with U-19 sides from Eintracht Frankfurt of Germany, River Plate of Argentina and UANL Tigres of Mexico.
Making its fifth all-time appearance at the competition and first since 2010, the U-20 MNT's first match will be the marquee game of the opening day of the tournament. Following a pair of Super Group matches and the Welcome World Opening Ceremonies, the U.S. will play River Plate at 6:30 p.m. CT in the Cotton Bowl on April 13. The U.S. then plays its second match less than 24 hours later against Eintracht Frankfurt on the campus of Richland College at 4 p.m. CT.
The U.S. concludes Bracket C play against UANL Tigres on April 16. The location and time of the match will be determined by results in the first two rounds across Super Group Brackets A, B and C with the purpose being to hold the two most potentially dramatic games of bracket play in the Cotton Bowl.
The roster relies heavily on players who have previously been involved in the U.S. Youth National Team program or received a call-up to the current edition of the U.S. U-20 MNT. Nineteen players either took part in the team's foreign training camp in Verona, Italy last November or its domestic training camp held in Lakewood Ranch, Fla., this past January.
Of the two players receiving their first call-up to the U-20 National Team, only Erik Palmer-Brown (Sporting Kansas City) has previously represented the U.S. at the Youth National Team level; Jesus Vazquez (UANL Tigres) is receiving his first call-up at any level for the U.S.
Also a relative newcomer to the Youth National Team program, Luis Felipe (Cruzeiro) is receiving his second call-up to a U.S. roster; his only previous experience with the U.S. came during the U-20 MNT's recent January camp.
The next event for the U.S. U-20 MNT after the Dallas Cup will be a domestic training camp held at North Carolina State University in May.
Roster by Position:
GOALKEEPERS (2) : Santiago Castano (NewYork Red Bulls; Union City, N.J.), Zack Steffen (Maryland; Downington, Pa.)
DEFENDERS (9): Jordan Allen (Real Salt Lake; Rochester, N.Y.), Michael Amick (UCLA; Sunnyvale, Calif.), Sullaiman Dainkeh (Maryland; Reston, Va.), Trevor Haberkorn (Furman; Roanoke, Texas), Matthew Miazga (New York Red Bulls; Clifton, N.J.), Shaquell Moore (Unattached; Powder Springs, Ga.), Erik Palmer-Brown (Sporting KC; Lee's Summit, Mo.), John Requejo Jr. (Real So Cal; Carpinteria, Calif.), Jesus Vazquez (UANL Tigres; San Luis Obispo, Calif.)
MIDFIELDERS (5): Kellyn Acosta (FC Dallas; Plano, Texas), Marco Delgado (Chivas USA; Glendora, Calif.), Luis Felipe (Cruzeiro; Ouro Branco, Brazil), Romain Gall (FC Lorient; Herndon, Va.), Lynden Gooch (Sunderland; Santa Cruz, Calif.)
FORWARDS (5): Benji Lopez (Real Salt Lake; San Diego, Calif.), Amando Moreno (Club Tijuana; Morganville, N.J.), Zach Pfeffer (Philadelphia Union; Dresher, Pa.), Rubio Rubin (Unattached; Beaverton, Ore.), Ben Spencer (Indy Eleven; Albuquerque, N.M.)
Additional Notes:
- The U-20 MNT roster is made up of players primarily born in 1995, with the exceptions being Luis Felipe, Shaquell Moore, John Requejo Jr. and Rubio Rubin, who were all born in 1996, as well as the only 1997-born player, Erik Palmer-Brown.
- Sixteen players have ties to U.S. Soccer Delevopment academy clubs including: Kellyn Acosta (FC Dallas), Jordan Allen (Revolution Empire/Real Salt Lake AZ), Michael Amick (De Anza Force), Santiago Castano (New York Red Bulls), Marco Delgado (Chivas USA), Romain Gall (Real Salt Lake AZ), Trevor Haberkorn (Solar Chelsea SC), Benji Lopez (Real Salt Lake AZ), Matthew Miazga (New York Red Bulls), Moore (IMG Academy), Amando Moreno (New York Red Bulls), Palmer-Brown (Sporting Kansas City), Zach Pfeffer (FC DELCO), Requejo Jr. (Real So Cal), Ben Spencer (Real Salt Lake AZ/Chivas USA) and Zack Steffen (FC DELCO)

I'm sure many of you remember our Raul Fernandez H&R Block promotion from earlier in the season in which fans would have a chance to win a trip for four to Houston to watch the Texas Derby and meet Raul Fernandez. FC Dallas fan Rob Goldblatt won the honor and on Saturday night, he and his family took in the dominating 4-1 win over our rivals to the south. Here's what Rob had to say about the experience:
It was a great time in Houston as my wife, two sons and I enjoyed watching FC Dallas take it to the Dynamo 4-1 last Saturday. We were met by [Partnership Marketing Coordinator] Annika with FC Dallas and escorted to the field where we watched the team go through their pregame warmup.We also got to meet Fernando Clavijo on the sideline before the game. This was our first FCD away game and we were very excited to be part of the crowd.The atmosphere was buzzing as the crowd was looking forward to a Dynamo victory.
We were a smattering of red in a sea of orange at their stadium so we obviously stood out in the sellout crowd. We got all kinds of looks - surprise,hate even laughter - as we made our way to our seats as the kick off was ready to take place. The Dynamo fans around us were very vocal but still mostly friendly as the first half ended 1-1.
In the second half, the four of us kept jumping out of our seats as we scored goal after goal after goal! If no one thought there were any FCD fans at the game before, they certainly knew we were there then. Needless to say, the Dynamo supporters were deathly silent. It was great day to be an FC Dallas supporter!

Top of the table FC Dallas will have their hands full when USMNT veteran Clint Dempsey and his Seattle Sounders visit Frisco this weekend for a meeting between the two Western Conference powerhouses. FC Dallas and Seattle played three matches last year. FC Dallas won the final meeting of the season 2-0 at home having lost the first two matches of 2013 at CenturyLink Field in Seattle by a combined score of 7-2.
Game 1 - May 18th, 2013 - Seattle Sounders FC 4 FC Dallas 2: Top of the table FC Dallas took a trip to the Pacific Northwest trying to extend their nine-game unbeaten streak to ten games. Former FC Dallas man Eddie Johnson opened the scoring, taking advantage of rookie London Woodberry and hitting a half volley past Raul Fernandez. Lamar Neagle doubled Seattle's advantage on a breakaway in the 30th minute after dribbling around Raul Fernandez and calmly slotting the ball home.
After the half, Michel led the charge for the Hoops. First, the Brazilian sent a perfect cross in to Kenny Cooper to give FCD their first goal on the evening. The best set-piece taker in the league was not done with that contribution. Seven minutes after the Cooper goal, Michel sent in a corner kick that was untouched by Gspurning and nestled itself in the side netting. The rare "Olimpico" had FC Dallas back in with a shout, but it was short-lived. EJ struck immediately after the restart putting Seattle back on top for good. Blas Perez was ejected in the 72nd minute for a high elbow and Obafemi Martins put any doubts to bed with an 83rd minute finish. FC Dallas' unbeaten run was over, losing 4-2.
Game 2 - August 3rd, 2013 - Seattle Sounders FC 3 FC Dallas 0: Contrary to the first meeting of the season when FC Dallas was riding in on a nine-game unbeaten streak, the return to CenturyLink Field in the summer was one to try to end a winless streak. Having not won in their last eight matches, FC Dallas had their work cut out for them just knowing they had to travel to one of the loudest stadiums in North America. Another wrinkle that gave Seattle the confidence to come out swinging in this match was the formal introduction of USMNT start, Clint Dempsey.
Seattle rode that wave of optimism from the crowd to a strong start. The capacity crowd was treated to a beautiful glancing header by Obafemi Martins in the 9th minute to give the hosts a dream start. EJ scored his first goal since the last time these two teams met in May, finishing a powerful effort past Fernandez. Brad Evans capped the the final score line at three with a penalty kick after a bleached David Ferreira brought Lamar Neagle down in the box. Seattle, despite a strong Mauro Diaz showing in the second half, took the second of two matches at CenturyLink 3-0.
Game 3 - October 19th, 2013 - FC Dallas 2 Seattle Sounders 0: The final home game of the 2013 season (and the Schellas Hyndman Era) was a victory for FC Dallas. While the first half was frantic, it ended scoreless. 20 minutes in to the 2nd half, Matt Hedges headed home a Michel corner kick to send 15,017 fans into a frenzy. Michel, having already gathered an assist in the game, found himself on the end of a fortuitous bounce to double the FCD lead. David Ferreira had his shot deflected and it fell to Michel who calmly slotted the ball home in the 87th minute to ensure FC Dallas was leaving Toyota Stadium that night with three points for one last time in front of their fans in 2013.
Here's the show recap from Sunday's latest episode of Soccer Today presented by Toyota and co-hosted by Marc Stein and Steve Davis on 103.3 FM ESPN Radio:
SEGMENT 1: The United States' wild 2-2 draw with Mexico -- and Clint Dempsey's hat trick for Seattle in an even wilder 4-4 draw in Portland in the season's first Cascadia Derby -- dominate the early discussion.
SEGMENT 2: Fox Sports host extraordinaire Rob Stone returns to the show to talk Champions League and U.S. national team matters with the guys.
SEGMENT 3: ESPN's Eric Wynalda, fresh off his stint in Phoenix calling the USA-Mexico game alongside Ian Darke and Alejandro Moreno, joins the boys to give his verdict on Julian Green, Jurgen Klinsmann's bigger concern -- think defense as opposed to the forward line -- and everything else topical from the week's big friendly match.
SEGMENT 4: FC Dallas is unbeaten after five games for the first time in franchise history. So Steve breaks it all down for Stein from his vantage point as the team's new radio voice.
Multimedia Manager Aaron Griffin with another one of his fantastic recap videos, this one is titled Texas Derby Supremacy:
Our brand new ShopFCDallas.com Scarf of the Month program has been an overwhelming success with quick sellouts of both March and April's editions.
However, after Saturday's historic win in Houston, we knew we'd have to create a second run of our popular "Come and Take It" scarf, but with a little twist.
Pre-order your "FC Dallas 4, Houston Dynamo 1 "Come and Take It" April Scarf of the Month today! Since the scarves are being special ordered, it will be at least six weeks before they arrive in Frisco and this one-time VERY limited edition order will not be made again. Our first run sold out in less than 24 hours so don't waste any time in pre-ordering yours today because when they're gone, they're gone.
April's exclusive scarf is a nod to Texas history and the Texas Derby (presented by Novo Nordisk).One side of the scarf features the "Come and Take It" slogan that was used during the Texas Revolution of 1835 and is used today to dare the Dynamo to try and reclaim El Capitan which comes together when the scarf is draped around the neck of an FC Dallas fan. On the other side is the "FC Dallas 4 Houston Dynamo 1" scoreline from Saturday's game.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a pre-sale and scarves will not be available for in-store pickup/shipping for six-eight weeks.
Chris Seitz has been nominated for MLS Save of the Week for his 82nd minute penalty kick save on Oscar Boniek Garcia.
Seitz's save was the cherry on top of the 4-1 Texas Derby win and Chris has been huge for FC Dallas all year. Seitz is now 10-3-3 in MLS/USOC dating back to the start of 2013 with a very respectable 1.25 goals against average.
Show your love for his early-season form and vote Seitzy for Save of the Week!

I just bought a used Hustler diesel and sold my Scag Wildcat ! The hustler has a 60" cut and 27 hp Shibaura diesel the Scag had 30 hp Kohler and 61"...
I was a little worried about cut issues with the XR7 deck because the Scag did cut nicely but it HASN'T BEEN an ISSUE. The XR7 cuts nice and at full speed too. I've cut massive amounts of grass that would have stalled the Kohler dead in its tracks even at a crawling ground speed with the diesel and it doesn't slow down... All things considered the diesel Kicks A$$ in the power & torque department. Plus I've mowed the first half of my route this past week and I've only used a half of a tank of diesel fuel as compared to emptying both the tanks on the Scag. I've mowed this route for the past two years with that gas eating pig and it's always sucked both tanks dry! I simply can't believe I have only used about half of one out of the two tanks of fuel on this machine. WOW! Looking forward to see how many hours both tanks can go for...
P.S---- I also own a FERRIS IS3100 and love it for the ride, It has the 26 HP Kawa, I knew it would be a little underpowered in the thick stuff, but thats not what I bought it for...flying over rough soccer fields it's great!

MS Dynamics CRM 3.0
This analogy is helpful:
in imperative lang, their people are often proud and wonder at the power of their eval() function. For example, Perl, PHP, Python all have eval(). I explain, in pratical ways, that lisp's inherent symbol system, basically makes the entire language a eval system. (see What is Expressiveness in a Computer Language http://xahlee.org/perl-python/what_is_expresiveness.html )
Sometimes few months ago, i was studying lisp macros, and realized a similar analogy. One often hear Lisper wonder and marvel about lisp's macro system, which gives the lisp touting right as a meta-programing language. But in Mathematica, in practical sense, almost every line of code functions as lisp's macro; the entire language is just one giant macro system! It is not a wonder, that one line of Mathematica is like 10 to 100 lines of Common Lisp. (not considering the mathematical function in mathematica, like derivative, integral, differential equation, transcendental (math) functions... etc. If we consider these, then one line of mathematica is pratically like one thousand lines of Common Lisp, Allah!)

ECS will be using 5-phase power for the board, and on top of supporting CrossFire with dual x16 PCI Express slots, the board will also include an HD3300 integrated GPU, supporting Hybrid Graphics. While not providing any performance benefit to gamers, both of these technologies do provide a way to cut back on power consumption, the latter when the system isn't being stressed.
But is ECS jumping the gun too much here? It's going to be at least two more months before the new line of AMD CPUs see the light of the day, and it's entirely possible that something could happen between now and then to delay the release of AM3 CPUs even further.

Most of my trip to Mexico has been spent climbing in Guadalcazar, Mexico. This place has captured my heart and has been an area where I pushed myself the hardest. There are so many great memories from every aspect of living in this little town. It feels very strange to leave after being so comfortable in one place. I have learned so much about myself through this part of my trip and several projects have forced me to really evaluate myself as a person and push myself to success.
Final Days in Guadalcazar - Urs Moosmuller
Every project is different and one of the most unique things about climbing is no route is the same. Unlike baseball or basketball, climbing is always random and you can always learn something new. My last few days in Guadalcazar were a little rushed, but that forced me to try hard to complete two more routes before leaving.
A few weeks ago I spent several days bolting a new route that climbs the blankest and steepest part of the cave. I was feeling particularly strong after winning a climbing competition in C.D Valles so I decided to dedicate my last two weeks to attempting the new route. Immediately I realized the route was a step up from my current climbing abilities. The opening boulder problem is somewhere in the V12/13 range and I spent several days working the moves. I tried over and over again, but I was still unable to climb the main crux of the boulder problem. After several tries I ripped three fingers open on the crux crimp and called it good. The boulder problem was to hard for me. After you pull the boulder problem you get a good rest then 6 bolts of 5.13 climbing leading to the base of a horizontal ceiling. Three bolts of 5.13- climbing leads to a V10/11 boulder problem guarding the lip of the cave at bolt number 15. Overall the route seems to be in the 14d or 15a range and a future project for some mutant crusher.
With only a few days left I set my sights on two routes in two different areas. The first route, Zion is located in the small cave of Las Candelas and was for several years the hardest route in the area. The route climbs out the blankest and longest part of a dead horizontal ceiling. I have always looked at Zion as a route I could potentially on sight, but the grade of 13d scared me away. Every time I visited Las Candelas I took some time to study the route searching for the rests, cruxes, and sequences. For the most part it is a guessing game, but having a plan is better than going blindly. After several days of studying Zion, I had a pretty good idea of the route layout and with only a few days left I decided to give it a what ever burn. I warmed up very well on the 5.12 classics in the cave then started getting mentally prepared for the route.
I started the route nervous and a little shaky. My body felt off and I tried to focus on the moves coming up rather than my physical condition. I reached the best rest on the route and spent several minutes trying to shake out the nervousness. Finally it was time. The first blank section felt around V6 and I quickly cruised through it to a quick shake before the next blank section. I started climbing this section and felt the pump building. I barely pulled off the V8 crux and made it to the next rest. The next section proved to be a V7 section and I made it to yet another rest on a bad knee bar. I could feel the pump in my forearms and I forced myself to relax. After a minute I climbed forward through another V6 section on stalactite under clings to a rest hole. At this point my arms were very pumped and I could barely hold onto the rest holds. I forced myself to breath and relax. Focusing on calming myself down to get ready for the final sprint to the anchors. I rested there for what seems like an eternity and got ready for the final sprint to the anchors. I focused all my energy on the final crux guarding the chains and made it through to the final hold. Forcing myself to hang on as hard as I could, I went for the clip and missed. Panic flooded through my body and I had to fight to clip the chains. Coming down I was very shocked that I had completed such an accomplishment. My arms were rock solid with lactic acid and my muscles ached, but I felt a wave of happiness and relive. I didn't blow it at the end after climbing through 19 draws of horizontal roof climbing. Zion had been confirmed at 5.13d by several climbers from Mexico, but after completing it onsite and hanging 19 draws I don't think I have the strength to onsite the grade. Grades are completely subjective and for me this felt upper end 13c rather than the proposed d. Overall the route is extremely unique and one of the most impressive lines in Guadalcazar.
The second route is an open project recently bolted by my friend Christian in San Cayetano. The route climbs a very blank wall in between Enki and Gilgamesh. The estimated grade for the project was in the 5.14b range and after onsite Zion I felt confident I could complete it before leaving. The route is a pure endurance route with no move being harder then V8, but no place to rest for the whole route. The route follows a blank but natural looking line through one of the larger roofs in the cave. Christian and I had looked at this route before and we were both hesitant to bolt it at the time due to the many blank sections between features. Even the features didn't appear to have any places to rest.
I started working the route and progress was very fast in the beginning and every burn I pushed a little harder to highpoint further up the route. On my first two days working the route I experience wet holds through the main crux and I struggled really hard to fight past it. By day number three the holds were dry and I was very psyched. Finally with two days left, I reached the final bolt and was falling over and over again. Every time I was so pumped at the final rest, my fingers would just let go. I tried to fight harder, but it just wasn't happening. I decided to take a day off to give it one last burn on the last day in Guadalcazar.
The last day of my trip came and I knew this would be my last chance to send. Several friends from northern Mexico came down during the weekend to check out San Cayetano and I felt psyched to have some support for this route. I started the route calm and composed. The first half of the route went very smooth and I reached the bad rest at the last bolt pretty pumped. I knew this was my chance to send and I went for it. The final crux involves an all out throw off a sloper pinch to a three finger pocket. Your feet cut and you have to squeeze as hard as you can to stay on. It is an amazing finish to a hard route. I fell on the last move to the pocket and cursed myself for missing the last move on my last day. I spent an hours sitting at the base of the route going over my mistake and what I could have done better. I forced my mind to relax and my body to recover to give it a last ditch effort.
My final burn of the day felt like a disaster. I could feel the aches and pains from the previous burn, but for some reason I was more psyched on this burn and I gave it everything I had. I made it to the final rest more pumped than usual but determined. I spent 15 seconds to force myself to focus on the final throw. I set up perfectly for the throw and went for it. I was trying so hard my feet nearly stayed on to the wall and at the last second they cut. I thought I was done, but I managed to squeeze a little harder and stick the move. I Clipped the anchors and lowered off completing the first ascent of Ninkasi.
Looking back on previous ascents and the training I have been through in Guadalcazar, I started to evaluate my performance during my training for each individual project. During this evaluation I still didn't feel good about the grading on the harder routes in Guadalcazar. I have always been bad at grading routes especially since it is extremely subjective to each individual. On my previous ascents I didn't have a comprehensive idea of the climbing style in Guadalcazar and after climbing 90 percent of the routes, I have decided to adjust some of the grades. Enki and Intento are two routes that I previously sent in San Cayetano and after climbing Ninkasi and Zion, I feel they deserve the downgrade to 5.13d. Ninkasi forced me to fight harder than the other routes and it feels like a proud 5.14a. Hopefully someone will come along and confirm the grade, but there are very few strong climbers who are psyched to travel to Guadalcazar. Overall my training and experiences have helped me in my climbing career and I am looking forward to having a change in style from steep sport climbs to bouldering and trad climbing. Now I am heading north to my hometown in the states to focus on two opposites. Technical endurance climbing on trad lines and powerful boulder problems.

STILLWATER — For my story about Brandon Weeden getting selected by the Cleveland Browns in the first round of the NFL Draft, I tried to bring you inside the moment when he got the phone call and saw his name announced by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
OSU football: Scenes from NFL Draft day with Brandon Weeden and family
But there's plenty more to share about that night at the Weeden crib. Let me empty my notebook ...
I arrive at the Edmond home of Robbie and Sharie Weeden around 6:45 Thursday evening, where I'm met by a crowd of about 20-25 people munching on barbecue. I ask Brandon how he's feeling, and he tells me his emotions are similar to the good kind of jitters he gets on game day. Then I ask if he's confident he will come off the board that night, and he says yes. Cleveland seems like the logical spot, and the Browns had just traded up to draft stud Alabama running back Trent Richardson with the No. 3 overall pick. This is when Brandon shares with me that the Browns had taken him and Richardson out to dinner together when they visited Cleveland a few weeks ago.
Weeden settles in on the living room couch — which I can confirm is blue but not snakeskin leather like it may appear in a photo — as the draft begins. Sitting next to Brandon is 5-year-old Gavin Kuykendall, Brandon's little buddy who has had multiple heart surgeries and recently had a pacemaker put in. While ESPN shows Andrew Luck highlights, Brandon points out to Gavin that he "is on the black team" from "that game we played in Arizona."
Jacksonville trades up to draft Justin Blackmon. As Brandon watches Blackmon walk across the stage, he's beaming. Clearly a proud teammate and friend. Then he comments that he's not at all surprised to see St. Louis immediately trade out of the No. 6 pick. He, and everyone else, knew the Rams were high on JB.
How do you clear out a house full of people? Tell them ESPN wants to do a live interview. Everyone goes outside while The Worldwide Leader asks Brandon about what the Jags will get in Blackmon.
Brandon knows his name won't be called for a while, so he starts to mingle. His interest is piqued, though, when the Arizona Cardinals take Michael Floyd with the No. 13 overall pick. That's good news for Brandon, because he knew Cleveland was targeting Floyd at wide receiver if he fell to No. 22.
I start chatting with Brandon's grandmother. She's more nervous than him. "I can't wait for this to be over," she tells me. She then says she's never known anyone as calm as Brandon, and that it used to make her angry when OSU Mike Gundy misinterpreted that relaxed demeanor as Brandon not caring about football.
At around pick No. 20, Brandon comes back into the house. He's still visiting with friends and family and taking pictures and such, but he's noticeably hovering closer to the television and clutching his phone.

Hit The Floor Magazine Gives Axis Of Finding St Kilda 9/10
Band: Axis Of?
Release: 'Finding St Kilda?'
Release Date: 18th March 2013
Northern Ireland have really produced the goods with this one. Having an album throw you in so many different directions within such a short amount of time is always an achievement and something Axis Of can definitely be proud of producing. For a debut album 'Finding St Kilda' is a superb effort.
I guess if you had to classify the band into a genre you would generally say "Punk" but there is so much more within this album to put a definite stamp on their sound just yet.
Where tracks such as opening gem "Cardiel" give you that crowd chanting, almost Dropkick Murphys-esque, punk feel by the time to you reach tracks such as "World's Oldest Computer" and the chaotic "Aung" you are thrown deep into the pit with fast riffs, chugging breakdowns and aggressive vocals having you hold on for dear life. This is certainly an album that keeps you on your toes and keeps things varied.
Later tracks on the album have an almost grunge feel to them with their sludgy guitar feel giving tracks such as "Stan Winston's Rough Seas" an almost Weezer 'El Scorcho' feel at times and the last minute of "Edge Of The Canebrake" I almost felt like I'd accidentally put on some Smashing Pumpkins.
What's brilliant about this all though is, it works! Even with the mix of sounds the album still feels like Axis Of and doesn't take you to far off course. It's exciting stuff.
With a debut this strong hopefully it won't be long until we are hearing a lot more from these guys. If sludgy guitars, head rocking riffs, punk rock chants and the odd splash of hardcore take your fancy then you can do no wrong with Axis Of!

Here's another of the VLV! video Q&A series: What's the Best Source of Calcium?
The Lines We Draw eBook is the first release from the eBook publishing arm of Our Hen House - a short eBook written by civil engineer Sangamithra Iyer. A story about boundaries - physical, biological, and ethical - it evolved out of a conversation with the late Dr. Alfred Prince, a hepatitis researcher, about the use of chimpanzees in medical research, and expanded into a larger discussion about ethics. Prince left New York University's Laboratory for Experimental Medicine and Surgery in Primates (LEMSIP) in the 1970s to establish New York Blood Center's chimpanzee research colony in Liberia. The story weaves various threads and makes connections among logging, the Liberian Civil War, and vivisection.
Chimpanzees are slowly being phased out of research in the United States, and the New York Blood Center has ceased testing in Liberia, but questions remain about the fate of laboratory chimpanzees. By shedding light on the psychological impacts on both the chimpanzee victims of vivisection and those who experiment on them, Iyer has found her way to change the world for animals. She answers a few of my questions:
The Lines We Draw is currently available on Amazon, iBooks, and Barnes & Noble.
Is It Vegan is a mobile tool for anyone interested in eliminating animal products from their diet.
Creator, Conner Burggraf has been vegan since August 2010. Aside from Is It Vegan, he works at a doggy daycare in Portland, Oregon and is an aspiring vegan chef who cooks in his free time. He took some time out to answer my questions.

Earl Peyroux, the former host of the nationally syndicated TV show, "Gourmet Cooking," died on Oct. 23. Cause of death was not released. He was 78.
Born in New Orleans, Peyroux graduated from Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris. He studied under Julia Child and Paul Prudhomme and wrote seven cookbooks featuring Creole and French-inspired dishes.
Peyroux was teaching culinary arts at Pensacola Junior College in Florida when the campus public television station asked him to serve as the host of a cooking show in 1977. The show, "Gourmet Cooking," was eventually picked up by PBS. It aired for 18 years and 600 episodes.
"People liked that he cooked an entire meal, made a mess and didn't care; that he just seems so natural — he came across as a regular person," said Liz Watkins, his producer and director.
Although he gave up the show about seven years ago, Peyroux had planned to produce a series of cooking tips for PBS in 2004.

I was one of the people that use to work on Gourmet Cooking back in the early 80's. I remember Earl as one of the sweetest people i ever met. I was alwasy so much fun to work on his show because after we finished taping we got to eat what he had fixed.
Gabrielle Smith
Aw man, I'm just now hearing about ol' Earl. In the early and mid '80s I watched his show on PBS every Saturday. He always cooked HUGE quantities, like big giant casseroles and such. Used LOTS of salt, and butter, and everything looked so good. He'd look at the camera a lot, to see how much time he had. He will be missed. And I intend to buy one of his cookbooks to preserve his memory, and add to my voluminous cookbook collection. RIP, Earl Peyroux.
will will
I am just now getting around to finding out what happened to E.P; used to watch his show. The last season I saw he seemed to be failing. Too bad…
I learned to cook by watching him. The way he demonstrated everything was great. Yeah, lots of salt and butter, great stuff. Made my kids watch him too. They used to make fun of me, but goddam if they're not good cooks now too. Thanks Earl.
Ron Meuse
I first watched Earl in 1983. I was living in Va. Beach and I tried to never miss a show when it came on PBS. I Have one of his first books from the PBS series, published in 1982.
What a great teacher he was,always explaining things and fixing things the way he was taught, in the French style.
Thanks Earl, you'll always be the best!!!!!
Theodore Worozbyt
Chef Earl, as we called him, and by "we" I mean the small but loyal group of afficionados who gathered Saturday afternoon to watch his show, always struck me as the kind of guy you would love to take out for a cold beer. My favorite thing about Chef Earl was his sense of humor about himself and about cooking. Like Julia Child, he had a way of making the worst sort of kitchen disaster a triumph of good humor and resourcefulness. What a nice man he was! A bien tot, Chef Earl, a bien tot.
Theodore Worozbyt
If anyone has knowledge of any way to get hold of tapings of his shows I would be very grateful for that information.
As Earl Peyroux
roger and karen parham
my wife and i never missed earl's show even if we had to tape it for later viewing. i think he was the best there was. i was always afraid he wouldn't get to finish a recipe but he alwaya made it. we wish someone in atlanta or the food channel would show his old shows. that would be wonderful. we miss him very much
A Rippo
You have no idea how happy I am to have found this website!! I thought I lost Earl forever!! I miss his shows so much. I learned so many things from watching him. He made everything look so easy, and he always cooked meals that had ingredients that the normal person would have in their kitchen, or that were easily attainable.
I assumed that he passed on, but I didn't know for sure until I found this site. I will miss him always, and I also think it would be a great idea if PBS or the Food Network would run his old shows.
The reason I was searching for a website about Earl is that I would like to know if his cookbooks are still available for purchase. I CANNOT find them in any bookstores, much to my dismay. I would greatly appreciate any help you could offer. Thank you……
Bill Ingolia
Every once in awhile I would think about Earl, yet whenever I'd go on line, I'd forget to do the research! Now with Julia Child gone and just watching Food Network, I finally remembered! I miss the old guy! He would cook stuff your belly food without regard for calories, cholesterol or all the other stuff. I doubt if he was the favorite chef of the American Medical Assn. Sometimes as the programs progressed, I had my doubts if he'd be finished, but he somehow wound up with a mouth watering meal all the time. RIP Earl as we approach the first anniversary of your passing.
E Faust
Similarly, with the passing of Julia Child my thoughts turned to Chef Earl and my reminiscence led me here. I, too, enjoyed his show every Saturday for all those years. I still have recipes written down while he cooked and talked. My favorite is his Shrimp and Scallops Scampi, which I still prepare with great enjoyment at least a couple of times a year. In the process, I always find myself saying "OK, let's clean up our board," as I ponder the collection of bowls, pots and ingredients all over the place around me, and I think fondly of Earl's Santa Claus smile, and his "A Bientot."
Mike F.
Why Earl came into my mind as I sit here……I haven't a clue. As many other Gourmet Cooking fans, I viewed his show religously. All of his cook books are proudly part of my collection. Fortunately I had the honor of meeting him in person at a book fair in Miami Florida where I purchased two of his books and had them autographed by Earl himself. All I can say is I'll miss him and his memory will linger on in my mind forever
Bill P
I join a long list of the grateful who learned to cook with Chef Earl on PBS. His Alsacian Apple Tart is still my family's favorite. I have boxes of tapes of Chef Earl and the "other culinary professors" of Saturday PBS. My sincere sympathies to the family who shared him with us and gratitude for his efforts to make good cooking fun!
Cal R.
I too was a huge fan of Earl's show when I was stationed in Florida from 88′ to 91'…I made time every Sat to watch him on PBS….he seemed to have such a passion for food and cooking…at times it did seem like he wouldn't finish , but he always managed to do so…I can still hear him describing food like "I'll now slice and add some nice, juicy, luscious tomatoes"….watching his show sort of pulled me into doing more in the kitchen…his name popped into my mind occasionally and I finally did a search…my sympathies to his family and friends…Food Ntwrk withstanding, I can think of no cook I enjoy watching more than Earl Peyroux.
Linda H.
I was also a big fan of Mr. Peyroux and enjoyed watching his show as I tried to figure out how to cook. I have been thinking of him the past few years and finally realized I could use the internet to find out how he's doing and what he's been up to. I offer prayers and happy thoughts to his family. He brightened many of my days and I will miss him.
Larry C.
Very simply, Earl was my favorite cook all time. In the early 80's, I could only cook grilled cheese or a hamburger. I watched Earl one Saturday prepare veal rolls stuffed with proscuito and homemade tomato soup. I duplicated those two dishes that night and they were great and I felt great. I can still hear Earl say,"oh my, I think we've burned the peppers." What an outstanding guy, knowledgeable and lots of fun to watch.
Martine Sullivan
I am truly sad to learn that Earl Peyroux has died. I missed seeing his show, Gourmet Cooking, after his voice gave out due to some illness. I hope to find tapes of his shows. He was a charming man who obviously was passionate about good food and good cooking. I too wrote down recipes from his shows.
Martine Sullivan
Luanne Fant
My husband and I loved watching Earl! We still get a kick thinking of him reaching for his "nice, fresh parmesan cheese"–and out comes the green can of Kraft!!! He was swell. We hate it that we didn't save the shows. Are the tapes available to buy? We would love to have those shows!! We miss you, Earl.
Tony E
I am a very big fan of Earl's. When I lived in NYC I used to tape his show from PBS as much as I could. When I moved to Las Vegas in '95 they didn't play his series there–I had to content myself with taped episodes. I just finished watching an episode I taped way back in '92! I sure do miss him and really regret not buying all his cookbooks!!! Earl seemed so wonderful and down to earth and a wonderful cook as well. After reading all the nice tributes posted by others who loved him I KNOW he truly was a Southern gentleman. I'll miss you Earl, RIP.
frances ardito
My husband learned to joy of cooking by watching Earl, bought all his cookbooks, and when he made any of the recipes we always had to invite 6 people for dinner since all the recipes are for 8…we remember him and miss him.
I loved Mr. Peyroux's cooking show. I had a hard time finding any of Earl Peyroux's cookbooks after his series went off the air. I searched every used book store I found thinking they would have some, I could find used books for all the other shows, but nobody seemed to want to let go of a "Gourmet Cooking" I thought that was a tribute to him and showed how much people enjoyed his recipes.
Frank Black
My weekends has always been so enjoyable watching those wonderul PBS cooking shows. No cook was better than Earl Peyroux, he seemed so passionate and he cooked so well. I can never thank him enough for all that I've learned about cooking. I knew about his death a few years ago but just found this tribute forum so I thought I'd pay my respects.
My best to his family, I can only imagine your loss and may peace be with you. I can only imagine what Earl, Julia and Justin are cooking in heaven.
Dennis Boland
I wonder if A. Rippo, or anyone else knows where copies of Mr. Peyroux's cookbooks can be found?
I remember being home from work on a disability. I was going crazy until I started watching Mr. Peyroux's show. He inspired me to cook and now I can say I am an accomplished cook. I am sad to hear of his passing and enjoyed all his books. My sympathy's to his family and friends
jerry gillmore
earl was very good friend, a true southern gentleman. several people have inquired about his cookbooks. you can usually find them on ebay or look up his name on the internet.
jerry, pensacola
Ken Smith
Having found this web site, I finally know what has become of Earl.His show was on Sat in my area and I would tape them and then on Sunday, my and I would make the meal.I watched him for years and years and miss him like an old friend.I know where ever he is, he's still cookin'! Rest easy partner.Ken Smith,Northport,NY.

I totally agree with what you're saying. I wish more people feltthis way and took the

Earl Peyroux would make a pan of peas look like the most delicious food you ever saw. I always said "I would love to eat at Earl's house"

i just found this site, wondering what earl has been up to lately, so sad to see he has passed on. i know that saturdays were never complete without his delightful cooking shows, i learned alot from him and he is greatly missed. thank you Earl, for all of the great shows, i still watch them on my tapes. the people in heaven i am sure are eating well….

My late wife Lucy and I ran across one of Earl's cooking shows and we were instantly hooked… we bought all his books (though they were lost in a move).
Lucy and I really enjoyed Earl, himself, as much as his fantastic recipes….
…how he always managed to assemble his chopped ingredients in a bowl that was several sizes too small… with stuff falling out as he tried to mix the contents.
…like the time he was cooking some exotic dish, and said: "Now, we add some Engine Beldive". He cracked up as the camera rolled on.
I read somewhere that the only preparation Earl did for a TV session was to have a glass or 2 of JD — a man after my own heart.
Earl always had a twinkle in his eye… he will be missed, but remembered and appreciated.

When we lived in Orlando, over twelve years ago, Earl Peyroux was on every Sunday morning, until he, sadly, became ill.
We loved the show. He came off as a truly genuine person.
Like Julia, if something seemed to go wrong he took it in stride. He made his craft seem natural, something we all could do.
Purchased six of his books (did not know he published seven, will have to try to find it). And always bought a second copy for a second cousin who also loved him.
Was just going through our cookbooks and pulled down one of his. I had forgotten how many wonderful recipes he put in each one. Have to start going through the books again.
That was what prompted a Google, I had hoped to find him well.
There have been many TV cooks since him, but none that I particularly remember with any fondness. He gave us some joy in life.
Am very sorry to see him gone.

i loved Earl Peyroux's and watching his TV cooking shows… i will always remember him, especially at the end of his shows when he served himself a nice glass of wine and and said a few words in french… and when he cooked there was plenty to eat in your plate … not like the nouvelle cuisine where your plate has four peas, a carrot and tiny peace of meat…
well dear Earl may you rest in peace, and i know you are making your best dishes in heaven,
and like his food , he was built for comfort…..

During the mid 80's and very early 90's I provided private nursing care to a dear friend, Harriet. She was born in 1893 so she had great knowledge about food preservation, preparation and a real appreciation for delicious food and entertainment. At the age of 98, one of our special moments of the week was to watch Earl cook. I would go the grocery immediately after watching a program and duplicate the dinner for us that night.
To this day I cherish the autographed copy of one of his books that he sent to my very best friend.
As so many have expressed, I would love to purchase any taped shows available. Harriet passed away many years ago but to watch one of Earl's cooking shows would bring tears of joy and bring back many wonderful memories.
I know Harriet, along with so many who appreciate great food are eating very well with Earl in the kitchen!
Lizzie, we sincerely appreciate all of the time and effort that your Uncle Earl exerted to help all of us be better cooks without fear. If we miss him this much without ever knowing him, your family must raise a glass to him with every great meal. He was a gifted man.

I was fortunate to videotape several of his shows which I still have on VHS. I never really appreciated Earl Peyroux until I just watched some of those shows recently and they are really great. He cooked an entire meal, WITHOUT any fancy TV editing.. After almost 17 years of having those old tapes, I am finally going to start preparing some of the recipes and will buy all the books of Gourmet Cooking.
James King
I have been watching cooking shows on PBS for longer than I can remember. All of a sudden, Earl Peyroux disappears, Now it is 2007 and I thought of him. I simply entered his name as key words and here I am. I just found out that he had left the building in 2003 and I just wanted to let him know how much his shows contributed to my life. Thank you, Earl.

As I was reading Julia Child's biography, I suddenly remembered another great chef, Earl Peyroux. I learned so much every Saturday when he appeared on PBS. I wish they would run his old shows on the Food Channel. He was an inspiration.
Grant Harding
I watched Earl Peyroux every Sunday and have all his books but the last one. One time in the Atlanta Airport food court, I saw who I though was Chef Peyroux standing eating a sub sandwich. I went over to him and sure enough it was him. I told him I enjoyed his shows and was surprised to see him eating "junk food". He said he really liked these sandwiches. He was returning from a meeting or show in New York and taking a lunch break. A very nice and talented man. When I asked for his autograph he was surprised I recognized him and happily signed a napkin. I still miss his no nonsense shows and was recently wondering what happened to him, found this site on the net. sad to learn he is no longer with us here on earth.
Phillip Allison
I remember watching Gourmet Cooking with my parents every Saturday. My mother, being a dietician, always was eager to see what food pairing he would come up with. My father and I would enjoy the entertaining, and often dry-witted way Chef Peyroux would prepare and present the dishes. Like so many of the other people posting comments on this website, I wish The Food Network or more PBS stations would air episodes of Gourmet Cooking. I believe that he would gain a stronger following than he used to have. He was a pleasure to watch. We even tried several of his dishes! A bien tot!
Started making Earl Peyroux's Creole Turkey recipe way back when first saw him on tv and ordered his books–1 thru 6. It is, to this day, and by all accounts of very persnicknity family and friends, the absolutely BEST turkey they have ever eaten. Mom and I have, over the years, making it dozens of times, added or subtracted some miniscule component, however, turkey is somehow elevated to gourmet status because of this dear man's master recipe. If you try it once, you will praise it forever. Sometimes, I've even left out the bell peppers and it just sings! You know how there are leftovers always and at every event involving a turkey?–Well, you won't have any with this recipe. Anyway…love and light to you, Mr. Earl Peyroux, and a job well done. Sleep in peace. Diane

I watched Earl's show on PBS. He and my mother taught me how much fun I could have behind a stove. No matter what Earl cooked on his Saturday show we enjoyed Him. He set my Sunday menu. And it is reported he loved some spirits, perhaps that is why he could hold up an apple and call it a cabbage. I still use his cookbooks a great deal of the time.
Timothy Howard
Chef Earl was one of my inspirations to be a chef. I would watch him, Jeff Smith, Justin Wilson, and Julia Childs all day on Sat. in the 80's on PBS. I remember Chef Earl wearing glasses and light blue shirt and after cooking he would go sit at the table and pour some wine (red wine most times) and say something in french I think. The Food Network should do something special to let the world know that their were earlier cooking shows that would be something nice. Thanks for helping me know at an early age (8) what I wanted to be a chef on T.V. Well, half of that dream is true. Chef Timothy Howard
Does anybody know what his theme song at the end of each show was? I found him so endearing and I have recreated many of his dishes through the years. I would love if someone would post the name of that song. Thanks.
I saw where Amazon.com claims to have his books in stock. I worked with Earl, when he was in the data processing dept of an accounting firm, so he wasn't just a chef.
I remember speaking to him long distance when one of his cook books didn't come on time. What a gentleman and great chef. I learned to cook crawfish etoufee by watching Earl. I taped some 90 shows from 1980 onward. I also have his Two Hour Special on Creole Cooking. Compared to the cooking junk shows out there today which teach you nothing, Earl, like Julia, was a giant among TV chefs. A Bientot Earl. Rest in peace.
Lizzie Peyroux
It has almost been 6 years. All of your comments make my heart swell. As always, we wish we had spent more time with our loved ones. I was only able to see him in the summers as I grew up. He did cook us dinner and it was always amazing. Eating at his house was like eating in a fine restaurant.
Paula, thank you for your kind words. He truly was an amazing man.
Jerry, please know I have tried to get in touch with you. Please contact me if you read this.

It has been a long time now since his death but lately I have been thinking back on how I would have my little TV sitting on my kitchen counter and I would watch Earl and cook at the same time. Very fond memories. I loved his personal style and style of cooking as well. I miss his gravelly voice and his french farewell at the end of the show. How sad that he is gone…..
Tony Fasano
I think I watched all of Earl's shows on PBS. His recipe for Zucotto cake remains in my family cooking library to this day and I make it still on special occasions and the Christmas Holidays.
I'd love to see PBS show reruns of his shows. Rest in Peace and God Bless to a fine gentleman.
Dee Shaw
I have loved Earl Peyroux since the first time I saw his show. I have two of his cookbooks and just pulled one out to make his bread pudding tomorrow. That prompted me to google him and see how he was doing. I was saddened to learn of his death. I noticed the absence of his show and his huge weight loss upon his return. Too, his voice was "different". By far, he was the best chef ever to grace the airwaves of PBS.
Dee Shaw
I did not know he passed but did notice his show was gone. He is one of the chefs I tell people to go look for his books if they want to learn to cook. Of all the chefs on TV it is my personal belief that he, along with Julia, and a few others ONLY on PBS really taught you stuff.
We never had cable until 9-11, so when I did get it I checked out food channel(s). I find myself watching PBS cooking shows more then anything (in relation to food info programming).
They should bring back his show in reruns as they are (like several others) timeless, and tasty.

Ohio Wants School Bus Cameras
Posted: May 6, 2011
Posted By: Tyler Norris
WHEELING -- Whether you might notice it or not, a new type of school bus surveillance camera could be watching you.
"It isn't a deterrent trying to trap someone, we're trying to get awareness and stop before something would happen, protect the children," Ohio County Schools Transportation Director Gary Kestner.
Ohio County Schools has been working long and hard to combat the big problem of motorists passing school buses.
The Wheeling Police Department, Ohio County Sheriff's Office, Board of Education and prosecutor's office were at Ritchie elementary on Monday to talk about installing a new type of camera on the county's school buses.
"We're planning to do that now to move forward after the May 9 meeting with their approval and with the purchase of several cameras and will move from bus to bus," Ohio County Schools Superintendent George Krelis said.
Right now, the county has the new camera on just one bus. The camera was used as a test to see how it could catch drivers disobeying the law. After proving effective, Ohio County Schools Transportation Department would like to see more added on.
"About 28 inches below the stop sign on the school bus, you'll see a little white box there about the size of a postcard and extend three inches from the bus," Kestner said.
If approved, the school district will get nine cameras, used on buses in highly trafficked areas like National Road.
"The use of the camera will help identify drivers by using film extracted from the camera, and to get a good solid picture of the violator," Wheeling Police Sgt. Phil Redford said.
If a violator is caught passing by a bus or ignoring its stop sign or cross arm, they could face up to a $500 fine, up to six months in jail or lose their license.
In order to prosecute, the Ohio County court system must have evidence.
"We will have testimony from the bus driver, video, license plates. We are confident that we will have cases to prove in court," Ohio County Prosecutor Scott Smith said.
While Krelis said the county has never dealt with an injury, they do not want to take the risk.
"We don't want that type of news story in Ohio County. We don't want a child hurt when departing the bus," Krelis said.

Women's Ashes 2013 decided by all three formats
The England and Wales Cricket Board and Cricket Australia have announced that August's Women's Ashes will be decided by playing all three formats.
The highest points total after one Test, three one-day internationals and three Twenty20s will win the Ashes.
Six points will be awarded for the winners of the Test in Wormsley from 11-14 August, with two points for each side in the event of a draw.
The limited-overs games which follow will see two points for a win.
Women's Ashes Series
11-14 August: Only Test, Wormsley
20 August: 1st ODI, Lord's
23 August: 2nd ODI, Hove
25 August: 3rd ODI, Hove
27 August: 1st T20, Chelmsford
29 August: 2nd T20, Southampton
31 August: 3rd T20, Chester-le-Street
The final two T20 internationals, at Southampton and Chester-le-Street, will be played before the men's T20 internationals between England and Australia.
Australia are the holders of the Ashes after winning a one-off Test match in Sydney in January, 2011.
Head of England women's cricket, Clare Connor said: "We believe that this new multi-format series will gain significantly more profile and context than can be generated by playing a one-off Test match every couple of years."
Cricket Australia's Belinda Clark said: "Cricket contests between Australia and England have a special place in the hearts and minds of players and the public.
"The new Women's Ashes series format acknowledges the past, embraces the present and takes a bold step towards the future."

The Kingdom of Arles (Arelat) or Second Kingdom of Burgundy was a Frankish dominion established from lands of the early medieval Kingdom of the Burgundians in 933 by the merger of the kingdoms of Upper and Lower Burgundy under King Rudolf II.
The new kingdom was called after the Lower Burgundian residence at Arles. Its territory stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to the High Rhine in the north roughly corresponding to the present-day French regions of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Rhône-Alpes and Franche-Comté, as well as western Switzerland. It was ruled by independent kings until 1032,[1] after which it was incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire.
Carolingian Burgundy[edit]
Since the conquest of the First Burgundian kingdom by the Franks in 534, its territory had been ruled within the Frankish and Carolingian Empire. In 843, the three surviving sons of Emperor Louis the Pious, who had died in 840, signed the Treaty of Verdun which partitioned the Carolingian Empire between them: the former Burgundian kingdom became part of Middle Francia, which was allotted to Emperor Lothair I (Lotharii Regnum), with the exception of the later Duchy of Burgundy—the present-day Bourgogne—, which went to Charles the Bald, king of West Francia. King Louis the German received East Francia, comprising the territory east of the Rhine River.
Shortly before his death in 855, Emperor Lothair I in turn divided his realm between his three sons in accordance with the Treaty of Prüm. His Burgundian heritage would pass to his younger son Charles of Provence (845-863). Then in 869 Lothair I's son, Lothair II, died without legitimate children, and in 870 his uncle Charles the Bald and Louis the German by the 870 Treaty of Meerssen partitoned his territory: Upper Burgundy, territory north of the Jura mountains (Bourgogne Transjurane), went to Louis the German, while the rest went to Charles the Bald. By 875 all sons of Lothair I had died without heirs and the other Burgundian territories were held by Charles the Bald.
In the confusion after the death of Charles' son Louis the Stammerer in 879, the West Frankish count Boso of Provence established the Kingdom of Lower Burgundy (Bourgogne Cisjurane) at Arles. In 888, upon the death of the Emperor Charles the Fat, son of Louis the German, Count Rudolph of Auxerre, Count of Burgundy, founded the Kingdom of Upper Burgundy at Saint-Maurice which included the County of Burgundy, in northwestern Upper Burgundy.
In 933, Hugh of Arles ceded Lower Burgundy to Rudolph II of Upper Burgundy in return for Rudolph's relinquishing claims to the Italian throne. Rudolph merged both Upper and Lower Burgundy to form the Kingdom of Arles (Arelat). In 937, Rudolph was succeeded by his son Conrad the Peaceful. Inheritance claims by Hugh of Arles were rejected, with the support of Emperor Otto I.
In 993 Conrad was succeeded by his son Rudolph III, who in 1006 was forced to sign a succession treaty in favor of the future Emperor Henry II. Rudolph attempted to renounce the treaty in 1016 without success.
Imperial Arelat[edit]
In 1032, Rudolph III died without any surviving heirs, and the kingdom passed in accordance with the 1006 treaty to Henry's successor, Emperor Conrad II from the Salian dynasty, and Arelat was incorporated in the Holy Roman Empire, though the kingdom operated with considerable autonomy.[1] Though from that time the Emperors held the title "King of Arles", few went to be crowned in the cathedral of Arles. An exception was Emperor Frederick Barbarossa who in 1178 was crowned King of Burgundy by the Archbishop of Arles.
Between the 11th century and the end of the 14th century, several parts of Arelat's territory broke away: Provence, Vivarais, Lyonnais, Dauphiné, Savoy, the Free County of Burgundy, and parts of western Switzerland.[1] The Free County of Burgundy was acquired by the Imperial House of Hohenstaufen in 1190 and the eastern parts of Upper Burgundy fell to the House of Zähringen. Later, when the Zähringen line died out, these lands were inherited by the Habsburgs. Most of the territory of Lower Burgundy was progressively incorporated into France — the County of Provence fell to the House of Anjou in 1246 and finally to the French crown in 1481, the Dauphiné was annexed and sold to the French king Charles V of Valois in 1349 by the dauphin de Viennois Humbert II de La Tour-du-Pin. In 1361, Emperor Charles IV of Luxembourg detached the County of Savoy from the Burgundian kingdom.
In 1365, Charles was the last emperor to be crowned King of Arles. In 1378, Charles appointed the Dauphin of France (later King Charles VI of France) as permanent Imperial vicar to administer nominally on behalf of the Empire what remained of Arelat, and from then on Arelat in effect ceased to exist. However, the title "King of Arles" remained one of the Holy Roman Emperor's subsidiary titles until the dissolution of the Empire in 1806, and the office of the Archbishop of Trier continued to act as an archchancellor and prince-elector for King of the Romans, who would become the Holy Roman Emperor, a status that was confirmed by the Golden Bull of 1356.
Despite the title's permanent union with that of King of the Romans, the Arelat was considered for reconstitution several times. The most serious of these was under Pope Nicholas III and sponsored by Charles of Anjou: as part of the deals and truces taken place between 1277 and 1279 between Charles, who at that time was already King of Naples, Rudolf of Habsburg, King of the Romans and aspirant to the Imperial crown, and Margaret of Provence, the Queen-Mother of France, over the conflict of jurisdictions and succession for the County of Provence, as well as the chain of favors exploited by Rudolf to become the sole Imperial candidate. In the agreement, Nicholas III managed to settle Rudolf to give up the whole Arelat to Charles's grandson Charles Martel of Anjou as a dowry for marrying his daughter Klementia von Habsburg, in exchange for hereditary rights to the Kingdom of Germany for him and his successors. Likewise, Nicholas expected Northern Italy to become a kingdom carved out of the Imperial territory and be given to his family, the Orsini. In 1282, Charles was ready to send the child couple to reclaim the old royal title of Kings of Arles, but the War of the Sicilian Vespers frustrated his plans, as well as his planned invasion of the Byzantine Empire.
