Consider this a continuation of my previous thread as I vent yet again about some of the bullshit myself and other recruiters have to up with.
Parents/Bonus Money: As a parent myself, I understand wanting the best for your child. That said, most of the young men and women I talk to are capable of making their own decisions, and many need something much more than overprotective parents. Face it, our mothers and fathers will not be around forever. On another note are the parents who are blinded by the thought of their child getting some quick cash in the form of a bonus. The first and only senior I enlisted in the past eleven months just wants to be a Soldier. The mother made it clear that she wouldn't allow Private to join at age 17, when there was a $1000 a month senior bonus for as much as $14,000. That got reduced to $500 when Private finally got her mom to realize she was joining with mother's support or without it. Paycharts, benefits and my own story were enough to get her mom to realize joining the military is not the end of the world, and that in many cases it broadly expands opportunities. Still, I mentioned the $500 senior bonus, which would have totaled a whopping $5000. Private enlisted after going over her contract in detail with the counselor, mother looked at the paperwork and asked me a week later where the senior bonus was. I delved into the contract and the policies and, after some initial confusion, found that the bonus was reduced to $100 a month, totaling $1000 for Private. The catch? It was effective the first of the month, Private joined mid-month, and the new policy message did not come out until a few days later. Long story short, mother went off, telling me I had personally promised this money to her and her daughter (I didn't), that it was going to be fixed (it can't, policy is policy) and that Private was not going anywhere until it is fixed. Way to finish off one week, I let the weekend go by, went to the school to explain the situation to Private and she was not bothered in the least. She has a nice non-combat job doing something she loves, will be making $1700 a month while in training and $1850 after, and will finally get the chance to follow in her grandfather's footsteps. That's the type of enlistee I like, to hell with bonus money. Had Private freaked out like her mom over a few thousand dollars, I'd have gladly started the paperwork to get her out.
Getting Blindsided by DEP'ers: The Delayed Entry Program is great for seniors or those who need a little time before they leave for training. That said, it completely sucks for recruiters, so far as I'm concerned. It takes many hours for us to find a qualified person to join and many more hours to process them and get them to MEPS. That is only the beginning, now we must keep up with them for months, keeping them motivated and qualified to ship out. When I joined, I left a couple of weeks later. From civilian to Soldier in less than three weeks to do something I wanted to since I can remember. Even then, I had second thoughts. Everyone does. After all, you are leaving all you know to venture into the uncertain. The DEP program allows extra time for the negative influences to take hold, for enlistees to get into trouble hanging out with their friends, for females to get pregnant, etc, etc, etc. A couple of personal experiences are below.
- SPC Han (not her real name, of course): SPC Han first came into the office a month or two after I started working there. She had served in the Guard, went to Afghanistan and was looking to get back in. The Reserve recruiter passed her to me when she stated she wanted to go active. I started the process and of course she had "no law", even going so far as to look self-righteous when I asked her. A police check showed an old battery charge as well as a humdinger of a felony. I can't get too specific, but her state employer had her investigated for doing something extremely unethical. I spent a few days going to DA offices, courts, etc trying to find out the disposition. Finally, the DA said she was still being investigated for more charges. I searched her name and found news articles about her investigation and exactly what she was accused of. Okay, disqualified, move on... Or not, a while later she came in with a magic DA letter allowing her to join. She even managed to get her job switched (a miracle given her test scores and the limited jobs available). Two weeks later she was "pregnant" (still wondering about that one). It's still shady to me. She was looking at serious time, suddenly everything is great, she joins the Army and then gets pregnant for the first time in her almost thirty years. It really wouldn't surprise me if the whole thing was a ploy to try to help her with the charge. Anyway, she was the first I put in and the first I put out.
- PFC Mack: Late twenties, dropped out of college, been working dead end jobs since. Oh, also an Eagle Scout, tested extremely high on the ASVAB, with a brother who is a senior enlisted member with over twenty years of service. He drove from out of state to see me, took the ASVAB the next day and was in the Army before I knew him for 48 hours. Took a Special Forces job, drove a couple of hours to take the language aptitude test, scored well enough on that to learn anything from Arabic to Mandarin. Smart, polite, and someone I definitely identify with and like. Five months in the DEP took its toll, though. He told me three days before he was supposed to ship out that he had been having second thoughts. He finally made up his mind to give college another shot. Wasn't interested in choosing another job, but told me he may be calling me later if things don't work out. I hope they do, but if not I will do what I can to put him back in. Anyway, the pessimistic side of me just doesn't get the logic of PFC Mack. By the time he earns his degree he'll be in his thirties, about ten years behind other degree holders. His brother can retire at any time with a retirement check that is more than PFC Mack makes. He could also have worked towards his degree in the Army, not having to worry about tuition and getting paid extremely well in the meantime. Oh, well.
SPC Han would likely have failed to ship for training regardless. PFC Mack would have been done with Infantry and Airborne training by now had he shipped off within a month. From there he'd have gone through Special Forces training, the Defense Language Institute, and eventually to a Special Forces group as a green beret.
Unqualified Persons: According to a recent report about 75 percent of 17-24 year old Americans are unfit for service. To break it down kindergarten style, three-quarters of us are fat, stupid, unhealthy, criminals, druggies, or messed up in the head. Or a combination of the above. Many of the qualified people have other plans and eventually step over into the unqualified pool. For the sake of dragging this pointless thread on, I'll share my thoughts on each disqualifier.
- Overweight: Most of us are lazy, sitting behind screens of some sort for hours each day and putting less than ideal foods into our system. Hell, I like to surf the internet and drink far too much beer. It has taken its toll, but I can still go out and run a few miles and am not what many would call fat. I try to watch my non-beer calorie intake and make a point to walk/run everywhere I can. Not so for many Americans. Asking us to get up to go to the store is a feat unto itself. Granted, some of us have disabilities or other reasons why we can't control our weight, but when a trip to the buffet is blocked by 400-pound Bertha making her tenth trip and the local Wal-Mart is full of 150-pound pre-teens looking at video games, something is wrong.
- Education: Many Americans are victims of the public education system. I never really thought that was true until getting to Louisiana. I've seen high school grads and in some cases even college grads that were unable to score high enough on the ASVAB to join. The dropout rate doesn't help either, with many parents electing to home school their kids, not realizing that an online diploma or GED do not hold the same weight as a regular diploma. At the end of the day, though, being smart isn't about pieces of paper. Apply yourself, keep learning whether in school or not, and constantly strive to improve yourself. I dropped out, have only completed a few college credits, yet scored higher on the ASVAB and am more knowledgeable than a majority of the people I deal with, from high school seniors to college students, to thirty-somethings on the street. Just don't ask me to do your Algebra homework for you.
- Physical Ailments: Most of the time we can't help being physically disqualified. Asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, and other conditions will keep motivated young men and women from joining. If I could, I would gladly put asthmatics and diabetics into comfy rear-echelon jobs to free up those more healthy people for deployments or forward areas. By the time someone is otherwise fully qualified for the military, they know how to take care of themselves and their condition. Hell, make them recruiters so most of us can go back to the line.
- Drug Use: I don't judge people on what they use, but you need to know if you have a problem. Though I've never tried anything outside of alcohol, everyone else I know has smoked weed or done other substances at one time or another. Alcohol is my drug of choice, and I'll admit that it is one of the worst drugs out there. Unfortunately, many Americans allow drug use or possession to screw up their lives. A friend of mine is back in jail on a second-3rd DWI charge, after almost killing himself in an accident last year. Some of us allow drugs to consume us, being addicts, as in the case of another acquaintance who died on death row after getting hooked on crack and killing a guy for $40.
- Criminal Records: We control our own destinies in most cases. That said, I know firsthand how the justice system can screw you over. So far as the military is concerned, any disposition outside of "not guilty" or "dismissed" probably means you are guilty. That pre-trial intervention the DA is offering you, or "do 30 hours of community service and we'll drop the charge" means you are guilty. Innocent people don't make deals, even though everyone knows that many scared young adults will gladly take community service over a trial even if they are innocent. Don't do anything stupid, and hopefully you will stay clear of the "justice" system. Also, everyone makes mistakes, but some mistakes are much worse than others. Most felonies will keep you from joining, mistake, PTI, or not. Felonies also keep you from voting, buying guns and all the other liberties we need to enjoy while we can.
- Mental Problems: Who can't lay claim to some sort of mental problem? I scare myself sometimes. That said, some of us have legitimate problems, while other problems come from being weak. My buddy who is sitting in jail is about as messed up as they come. Take the alcohol and drugs away and he is hard-working, family oriented and a great guy. That ends when he starts drinking and popping pills. He gets paranoid, violent, depressed, turns against people, you name it. I sure as hell can't as I'm no psychiatrist, but I do know that when he is prescribed pills to help him, he abuses them to excess and becomes someone else entirely. Hell, when I drink too much I become withdrawn, anti-social and irritable. As such, I drink little when out with friends or in public. Do what you can to cope with your problems, and don't let them get to the point where you harm others or yourself.
Anyway, that's about it, started with me venting about some recent events with the job and ended with my wholly unqualified opinions on why so many people can't join the military. Thanks for reading. I think it's time for a beer.

of no marathon. For lack of experience or just ignorance, I am not afraid of 26.2. I have been running (Pearl shoe wearers would say I jog) since late July and I am not in awe or scared to tackle the once mammoth task of running until I die. I think for the first time that I could do it. I researched some training plans and saw that in 22 short weeks I can be running huge chunks of road. That leads me to this...how do I run it in a respectable time. I mean I could walk the darn thing tomorrow in 8-9 hours and miss all of college football but that is no fun. I want to run it in a time I can see the second half of the early game. So I need to get a pace for the distance under a time I can't even run a single mile in currently. With that i am a little timid to the point I may need to exchange my compressions. So Im still slogging away at the distance. My short term goal for now is to lose some of the body mass that I have built over the last 10-15 years and then develop a respectable pace. Rome may not have been built in a day, but a marathon can be run in one...
Starting line: Mile 07/27/13 11:29 mile, 5K 08/03/13 52:07, 10K 08/25/131:20:08, 1st run .27 miles without walking.
PRs: Mile12/04/13 7:43, 5k 11/07/13 25:18, 10K 11/20/13 53:38, 1/2 marathon 2:09:51 12/28/13, distance 13.4 miles 10/19/13.
Goals: Sub 7 mile, sub 8 10k pace, half under 2, marathon under 4.
Awesome! I recently decided I ain't scared of no marathon either!! If the contestants on the Biggest Loser can do it, why can't I??
My 1 mile and 5k are similar to yours, my 10k is about 60 minutes, and I think I can do a half in 2:15 (current PR 2:22). I've estimated my marathon pace would be about 10:45 or 11 per mile, which puts me about 4:45 or 5:00 for a marathon. There are pace calculators online, even on this website.
I don't know you, obviously, but I know for myself that a sub 7 mile would be unattainable. I couldn't even sprint 1/4 mile at that pace probably. Maybe you could try some 1/4 mile sprints at your local track to see your fastest possible speed, and then plug it all in to a marathon pace calculator to see what is a realistic goal for you. Good luck!
It's all going to work. Choose one of the plans, put the miles in, and it will all workout in the end! Good luck with it.
you can get football on smartphone now, you know ...One great way to get there is to train by heart rate.here's a link that explains the basics. If you go toward the bottom, it shows how to find your real max hr, which requires suffering greatly.http://www.runnersworld.com/ru...-monitor?page=singleBut once you get your max hr, then you'll know rates to train at. so when doing long runs, you'll know what pace to run. And you'll know what pace you're capable of running a marathon at. Then as your training progresses, you'll be able to run increasingly faster at that heart rate. To me, that makes more sense than just coming up with an arbitrary time. HR training also ensures you will run easy on easy days. Most folks run too hard on their easy days, making it harder to recover.having said this, I live in Texas and was are required to hate the Hogsheads, so grain of salt. Good luck!
-------justanotherrun.com parking validated with purchase of $5 or more.
Thanks and down with the short horns...great advice even if you are from Tejas.
You may not be scared, but respect it. ...cross train, learn to breath, what garbanzo said, find your form....and no matter what, keep posting.
Take your time. Keep listening to your body and you will be able to achieve all the goals. Good luck.
Run on everyone.....................Steve
Yeah, it'll be fun. Nothing to wory about.
Attitude is everything
The amount of preparation will determine how miserable you will be during and after. Sure, marathon plans can be 16 - 24 weeks, but IMO, it takes much longer to really prepare for a marathon. A good base is really important before getting started.
Good luck! You can certainly do it if you work for it!

The controversy swirling around a City Market shop called Just Cookies appeared that it would follow an all-too-common pattern. Advocates and their followers on both sides of the dispute -- in this case over the shop owner's refusal to fill a special-order of rainbow-decorated cookies in support of National Coming Out Day -- would work themselves and others into a self-righteous frenzy over whose rights were violated and who was the true victim of discrimination. The long and disruptive disagreement would throw off plenty of heat, but virtually no light. And, in the end, no matter which side won, the cause of forging community ties and of learning to accept one another without necessarily agreeing would lose.
Thankfully, the argument has been abruptly interrupted with the release of a thoughtful and gracious letter to the editor published today on the facing page. The letter was written by City-County Council member Jackie Nytes, who sponsored the human rights ordinance that the shop owner is accused of violating. Former council member Scott Keller, who also sponsored the ordinance, signed the letter as well. In addition, Walter Botich and Jon Keep, presidents of two leading gay rights organizations, added their names to the message.
Their main point: One doesn't have to agree with the baker's political, social or religious views to accept that he had a right not to support a cause with which he disagrees. "The recent amendment to the (human rights ordinance) was designed to ensure that (gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender) citizens are treated with the common decency that every human being deserves,'' the authors wrote. "We believe it exceeds the intent of the ordinance to force a small business owner to support a political initiative he or she opposes.''
Three important principles are at play here. One, as the letter writers assert, every person should be treated with dignity and their constitutional rights protected. Two, the law must not be used to coerce those who dissent to a political or social cause. Three, hard, complex discussions should and can take place in this community without rancor (the authors of today's letter beautifully model that ideal).
The student group that tried to place the order for cookies not only has every right to promote its cause, but members also should be treated with respect and dignity as they do so. At the same time, the owners of Just Cookies have the right not to provide support for causes with which they disagree. Those rights must be protected as well.
May we be a community that values both.

Grammy-winning producer Phil Ramone dead at 72
NEW YORK (AP) — Phil Ramone, the Grammy Award-winning engineer and producer whose platinum touch included recordings with Ray Charles, Billy Joel and Paul Simon, has died at 72.
Ramone's son, Matt Ramone, confirmed the death. The family did not immediately release details of the death, but Matt Ramone says his father was "very loving and will be missed."
Few producers had a more spectacular and diverse career. Ramone won 14 Grammy Awards. He worked with Frank Sinatra and Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney, Elton John and Tony Bennett.
He produced three records that went on to win Grammys for album of the year — Simon's "Still Crazy After All These Years," Joel's "52nd Street" and Charles' "Genius Loves Company." He was a pioneer of digital recording who produced what is regarded as the first major commercial release on compact disc, "52nd Street," which came out on CD in 1982.
He thrived producing music for television, film and the stage. He won an Emmy for a TV special about Duke Ellington, a Grammy for the soundtrack to the Broadway musical "Promises, Promises" and a Grammy for the soundtrack to "Flashdance."
Ramone made an art out of the "Duets" concept, pairing Sinatra with Bono, Luther Vandross and other younger artists, Bennett with McCartney and Barbra Streisand, and Charles with Bonnie Raitt and Van Morrison. In Ramone's memoir, "Making Records," he recalled persuading a hesitant Sinatra to re-record some of his signature songs.
"I reminded Frank that while Laurence Olivier had performed Shakespeare in his 20s, the readings he did when he was in his 60s gave them new meaning," Ramone wrote. "I spoke with conviction. 'Don't my children — and your grandchildren — deserve to hear the way you're interpreting your classic songs now?'"
A native of South Africa, he seemed born to make music. He had learned violin by age 3 and was trained at The Julliard School in New York. Before age 20, he had opened his own recording studio.#inlineGalOuter{ margin-top:10px; text-align:center; } #inlineGal { background-image:url('http://entimg.s-msn.com/i/grandprix/inlineGalleryBg.jpg' ); background-repeat: no-repeat; height: 334px; width: 452px; padding: 14px 24px 0px 24px; } #inlineGalHed { font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 7px; text-align:left; } #inlineGalImageDiv { padding: 2px; border: 1px solid #b3c9e0; width: 442px; } #inlineGalViewAll { font-size: 13px; text-align: right; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 8px; } Photos: In Memoriam 2013 View all

Venue (magazine)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2007)
Venue Magazine dated 20-29 April 2007
|Former weekly print magazine
|Northcliffe Newspapers Group
|Bristol United Press (BUP)
|Tom Wainwright
|David Higgitt (until May 2012)
|Ceased publication
|2012 (continued in online form)
Venue was the listings magazine for the Bristol and Bath areas of the UK. It was founded in 1982 by journalists who had been working for another Bristol magazine, Out West, which had been consciously modelled on London's Time Out magazine.
Originally published fortnightly, Venue gained a reputation for the quality and authority of its coverage of the local arts and entertainments scene. It played a leading part in re-establishing Ashton Court Festival and was an early champion of the Bristol Sound in the early 1990s. It continued to play a significant role in nurturing and promoting local art, theatre, film and music until its closure in April 2012. Venue's last editor was the playwright Tom Wainwright.
Venue also had a reputation for investigative reporting of local issues, including health, policing, local politics and environmental matters. Venue also featured humour and satire which many found attractive, but which was occasionally criticised as puerile. Stand-up comedian Mark Watson and comedy scriptwriter Stephen Merchant both worked for Venue when they were younger. Author and reviewer Kim Newman contributed regularly. Another author, Eugene Byrne, one of the magazine's founders, remained involved with it as Consulting Editor until the magazine ceased publication.
In 2000 the company was sold to Bristol United Press (BUP), the company which runs the Bristol Evening Post and Western Daily Press newspapers. BUP in turn was owned by the Northcliffe Newspaper Group, part of the Daily Mail & General Trust group. The takeover by BUP was controversial with many readers, advertisers and staff, particularly because the conservative political outlook of the Daily Mail was very different to that of Venue.
Weekly edition[edit]
In 2001, Venue magazine started to publish weekly, and, trading as Venue Publishing, the company diversified further in the years after this. It produced a successful controlled circulation lifestyle monthly, Folio (whose closure was announced in March 2013, with the April 2013 edition being its last published issue), as well as several annual guides including Eating Out West, Drinking Out West, Days Out West, a Student Guide for Bristol and Bath and a Festival Guide. Venue Publishing also undertook contract publishing, particularly for large local events such as the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta and the Bristol Harbour Festival. In 2005, Venue Publishing established an in-house design agency, Bang, offering design services to external clients.
The magazine was briefly associated with some other provincial listings magazines in the 1980s like Manchester's City Life, Southampton's Due South Magazine and The List which covers Edinburgh and Glasgow. Only the latter is still publishing.
The Weekend 'Powered by Venue'[edit]
The Bristol Evening Post ceased its Saturday edition in April 2012. A month later on 25 May 2012, The Post launched a new 64-page lifestyle magazine, given away free with its Friday edition. This magazine carried many of the Venue listings, reviews and entertainment articles and was justifiably entitled The Weekend - Powered by Venue. From issue number 43 of The Weekend (15 March 2013), the 'powered by Venue' strapline was quietly dropped. The distinctive Venue logo continued to be seen in printed format each Wednesday, however, in a section of three or four pages in that day's Bristol edition of the free Metro (British newspaper), the section being headed "WHAT'S ON The week ahead with Venue". The Venue name still continued also on periodic publications such as Venue Festival Guide '13 and Eating Out West 2013/14, the latter title reflecting the title of the magazine's own predecessor.
The Venue website, one of the longest-running commercial websites in the UK, was originally set up in 1995. Since the demise of the printed Venue magazine, the website continues to include event listings, music, theatre and comedy reviews, selected features from the Bristol Post's Weekend supplement, several of the annual guides and includes a popular free personal advertisements section.
Venue Magazine Final Post.
The Venue website was closed by Local World at 11am on Friday November 29, 2013. Venue writers and photographers etc. published an open letter on the site which subsequently went viral and was picked up by Buzzfeed http://www.buzzfeed.com/jimwaterson/venue-magazine-is-closing-its-staff-just-published-a-spectac

thanks for the correction.
any other suggestions than Conti?
conti is really the only brand that I can think of that runs especially thin. I think you can get some michelins in 700x20.
Thin tires are overrated anyways. I'd just run 23s, it makes life easier.
Don't try any aggressive cornering on narrow tyres... especially on bumpy roads or with other riders around...
You can get Kenda's in 18 width. Please note that I'm not recommending them; but I'm sure they're not the only ones.
Reacting is mind candy; it requires no thought. Thinking is tedious.

"He's dead and about two years old, said David Cloyd as held up an 18 inch Copperhead snake.
Cloyd was walking to his mailbox in College Station Thursday morning when he came across something he'd never seen in his yard.
"He was crawling right across the ground. We went and got a shovel and pounded on his head," said Cloyd.
"We get snake calls often," said Maria Fisher, an Animal Control Officer for the City of College Station.
Most of Fisher's calls deal with non-venomous snakes, but she's seen quite a few Copperheads in her 3 years with the city.
"They have mostly been in landscaping on the edges of town," said Fisher.
That's exactly where Cloyd found his. They blend in to their habitat, making them hard to see and he's worried there might be more around.
"Pretty much worried that kids might not know what's out here," said Cloyd.
There are certainly more out here just based on the photos posted on KBTX's Facebook wall.
Cloyd says next time he gets the mail; he'll be dressed a little different.
"I'm going to be a lot more careful. Wear gloves, wear boots, wear longer pants," said Cloyd.
Emergency Room Doctors with the College Station Medical Center have treated three snake bites since March. St. Joseph Regional Health Center has treated 37 in the same time period. Doctors recommend anyone bitten by a snake, remain calm and go to the emergency room immediately. Approximately 5 to 15 people die each year in the U.S. from snake bites.

Drumstick leaves Adai is popularly known as Murungai Keerai Adai in southern India. It is an exceptional crepe made from the combination of at least two lentils and rice; drumstick leaves added in the batter and cooked to perfection makes this dish remarkably nutritious. Traditionally this is a tiffin dish usually had for breakfast. This variation of adai taste good when you use a little extra oil and cook it on low flame. The fresh ground coconut gives a nice crunch when you bite into the adai. Drumstick leaves are rich in iron compared to other greens. This adai goes well with sambar.

Why did he even bother going off on me if afterwards he was just gonna apologize? is it just because I didn't give in?
He sounds a bit controlling. Like he can't let you go, but he wants you to be different somehow. Tries to break you, and then worries that he has actually done it and lost you through it. I knew a guy a bit like that. He would attack.....wait til he got a rise out of me. Then apologize. Then compliment me and build me up...then turn again. But ultimately, it led to him just going off one day. In which he attacked things I couldn't even imagine- down to the way I walked to the kind of luggage I had. REALLY REALLY weird! <br />
And you're right...it is silly. It's like riding a roller coaster, dealing with that kind of relationship. But not in a fun way. Just the kind that makes you dizzy and nauseous and wanting to get off!!
I am fairly convinced he was a narcissist. While I was still involved with him and in "Wonderland", I ran across some information and then read quite a few books about that type. Fascinating people, but well left alone! I haven't had any contact with him since 2010. It is amazing the sort of hold they can get on you....they are masters at it. But I'm done there. :)

"Music in the soul can be heard by the Universe." -Lao Tzu
Have you ever wondered who you were in a previous lifetime? Have you ever read a book or saw a movie and really resonated with it and just knew that you lived during that time period? Do you have a connection with someone in your current lifetime with whom you believe was a part of your past? Do you feel that you are be experiencing reoccurring patterns of behavior or emotions? All these questions and more can be answered through Age Regression or Past-Life Regression. It is your birthright to have a flow of positive energy in your life and in all of its many forms. You are the one who can surely open the channels to have that magical flow in your life once more. Using Regression for physical, emotional, or spiritual wellness is very effective in assisting an individual to retrieve memories and release unwanted behaviors or emotions from earlier in life or prior lives in order to facilitate wellness, remove barriers, and to find greater satisfaction in life.

Brandenburg Things to Do
John Hunt Morgan Trail
The Civil War was a complex time and as we celebrate its 150th Anniversary it seems more important than ever to remember and learn about it. Though battles in Kentucky are well known, the movements of Rebel Troops into Indiana are sometimes forgotten. Confederate General John Hunt Morgan used Brandenburg as a headquarters for his raids and strategic planning over the Ohio River Valley. The Driving Tour covers 185 miles in multiple states. We only traveled through the portion of it in Brandenburg and pretty solidly by accident. The portion we saw was enough to get me interested in this "forgotten" part of history.
This is a self-guided tour you can pick up your travel map and guide at the Tourist Information Center near Main Street or the Meade County Public Library which is located at 400 Library Place off Broadway (Highway 448).
They also have several educational products that can be purchased to follow it.Related to:

A Civil War "Hunt"
Try and find the Four Civil War Markers in Brandenburg!
They are all following General John Hunt Morgan's trip and raids into Indiana. His headquarters was built by Colonel Robert Buckner in 1855 and though it is a private residence you can view the outside of the building and the marker. If you get out and view the marker you also get a breathtaking view of the Ohio River Valley.

A Mild but Lovely Walk in the Woods
A lovely 2.5 mile straight paved trail may not be everyone's cup of nature but it is a nice handicap accessible and scenic walk all the same. With lovely little waterfalls, frequent resting points, and gentle slopes this is defiantly an easy walk in my book, but it was a pleasant way to let my dinner settle. It would equally be a great place for a brisk power walk, morning jog, or afternoon bicycle trail. The waterfalls are present and give the sounds of nature an added relaxing punch.Related to:

The Doe Run Inn: Fried Chicken, History and Views
Doe Run Inn was originally a Mill built in the 1780s it then became a barn when the mill was closed during the 1800s. Well the building as is now become a hotel in 1901 as a health resort. Thankfully the Inn was sold again in the 1947 and those owners added a restaurant. They have a wonderful back porch with a view of Doe Run Creek. The buffet looked a bit sad but the food we ordered off the menu was hot, fresh, and tasty.
Favorite Dish: The Fried Chicken was hot, crispy and apparently their number 1 bestseller for 70 years. (It makes sense after you have tried it) Perhaps it is because I don't eat Fried Chicken all that often, is what made it so good; but it was moist, hot, crispy, and well spiced.Related to:

Jailhouse Pizza: Dinner in Jail?
Jailhouse Pizza is in a former jail! Shocking, but the current structure built in 1906 is actually the third jail to be built on that site since 1826. The building does have a museum and its cells intact for you to visit. A famous "guest" of the jail was Frank James, the brother of the famous outlaw Jesse James. The building has withstood some serious national disasters (floods and tornado). The Pizza is only one of the reasons people visit this place. They do have Ghost Hunting Packages where you can either overnight in the jail (in the cells if you dare), or just stay for a few hours both complete with beverages, pizza, employees on hand. They also host a Prisoner's Pardon Challenge. The challenge would seem more than daunting as we had 2-10 inch pizzas and couldn't finish them; I can only imagine eating 12 pounds of pizza! They describe the challenge and its rewards or punishments; "Jailhouse Prisoner's Pardon Pizza Challenge! 2 People, 12lbs of Pizza, and 60 minutes!!
A team of 2 has 60 minutes to complete the entire pizza to receive ultimate Jailhouse Pizza fame!! This pizza is 30 inches big, weighing in at approximately 12lbs, and your team will have 60 minutes to stomach the whole pie. If you complete the challenge, your meal is absolutely free and your teams photograph will be placed on the JailHouse Pizza Hall of Fame board. Fail to complete the challenge and suffer the Death Row sentence of paying the bill and being sent to the Wall of Shame!!
Cost if not finished is 60$ and either way you will receive 2 free tshirts for your participation
Reservations must be made 24 hrs in advance and we recommend Sunday - Thursday for booking your challenge. We do not accept challenges for Friday and Saturday due to the preparation and accommodations to other guests.
A release waiver must be signed in order to compete in this challenge."
Favorite Dish: I really liked the Prisoner's White Flag (White Pizza). The Veggie was ok, but I am not sure I would order it again. The view over the Ohio River was equally pleasant.Related to:

Ok, I have been sitting at the computer for a few minutes trying to think how to explain this. I still haven't come up with a great method but here it goes....
I am a pretty experienced rider with many thousands of miles, mainly on mountain bikes. A couple weeks ago i got a road bike.Everything was going great. I have around 400 miles on it and was having fun. I did a lot of miles of Thursday. I had around 65 for the day. The problem was that the last 35 were very intense as they were on my first group ride............ever!
I was able to keep up with some of the more experieced roadies, while the best riders dusted me. I really busted it hard however. Friday i took the day off from riding, which i never do, because i was pretty tired. I decided it was time for a recovery day. Fast forward to last night, I went to bed anticipating a great ride this morning.
Everything was fine until I felt a massive pain in my left ankle. It felt like i was playing basketball and suddenly sprained it very badly. The pain got worse, and worse until i couldn't put any weight on it. I finally got some aspirin and Aleeve in me and an icepack and was able to get to sleep several hours later.
It was very painful and felt nearly as bad as it did when i broke that ankle about 15 years ago. This morning, it feels much better, but it is still very weak. It feels like i had a severe ankle sprain about 5 days ago. No real pain, but sensitive to put weight on it.
I know this sounds crazy, and was hesitant to post it. I just am curious if anyone thinks I might have caused this from the cycling. Kind of odd that it happened right after my hardest 35 miles, and on a day when i rode the most i ever have in one day. (65) I have ridden nearly 10,000 miles in the last 18 months with no problems at all. It just seems to coincidental?
Anyone ever have such a phantom injury? I mean, seriously you can't sprain your ankle watching Jay Leno in bed. What happened?

the shutter could be running uneveningly or capping badly on my phone difficult to tell but looks like uneven running.
the distinction is made if the fogging is obscuring the image it is capping if the image is more dense it is uneven running.
the shutter might leak at either end of its run check by pointing camera at light for leak
probably lube turned to gum if uneven run and unless you have experience a pro service person necessary sorry.
Capping could be anything
if the edge rebates are fogged you need a dark room or changing bag to localize problem I'll tell what I'd do if you confirm edges fogged.

As of right now, with tonight's game still to be played, the NFL's tackle leader was a second round draft pick. People were scared to draft Kiko Alonso because of his drinking problems at the University of Oregon. The Bills didn't worry about the problem, and still made him their second round pick.
Last year, I had Kiko rated as my second best inside linebacker, above guys like Arthur Brown and Jon Bostic. Kiko has been very impressive and is en route to get the defensive Rookie of the Year award. The guy now has 66 tackles, 4 interceptions, a sack, a forced fumble, 6 pass break ups, and a fumble recovery. Alonso is exactly what the Buffalo Bills needed on defense. The Cuban Missle has become a legend in Buffalo already and will be a huge reason the Bills defense stays hungry.

Laird Will Close Handset-Antenna Unit, Maintains Forecasts
Laird Plc, a maker of mobile-phone electronic shields that rejected an offer from Cooper Industries Plc, said it will close its handset-antenna unit, which has been breaking even at best.
Laird makes antennas for Nokia Oyj, once its biggest customer. The closure won't affect its full-year forecasts as demand for other products is improving, the London-based company said in a Regulatory News Service statement today.
The announcement follows Cooper Industries' statement yesterday that Laird turned down a 493 million-pound ($798 million) offer. Laird said today it's more diversified than previously. In March, it said last year's revenue from Nokia dropped to 19 percent, from 40 percent in 2009, and today it said that contribution will be minimal now.
"This decisive action will allow us to focus better on the rest of our businesses and to concentrate on continuing to strengthen our leading positions in high-growth markets," Laird said in the statement.
Laird rose 8.4 pence, or 4.5 percent, to 197.3 pence in London, after rising the most in more than two decades yesterday. The shares have risen 14 percent so far this year, giving the company a market value of 525.4 million pounds.
Michael Blogg, an analyst at Arbuthnot Securities, said shareholders would probably be happy with an offer close to Cooper's 185 pence per share, citing Laird's "poor track record" and its business as a maker of parts for wireless and electronics products.
'Not Particularly Attractive'
"This is not a particularly attractive business to be in, even if the rest of the portfolio, after exiting handset antennas, is currently in a growth phase," he said in a note to investors. He has no recommendation on the stock. "An auction must be the best hope for achieving greater value."
Laird said it will take a charge to cover costs of closing the phone-antenna unit, yet the closure and sale of assets and inventory will add about 20 million pounds to earnings. The unit broke even in the first quarter and sales declined after that, the company said.
Laird also said its second-quarter comparable sales, excluding handset antennas, will probably be higher than this year's first quarter and last year's second quarter.
