Eve Ensler's new play Emotional Creature was a source of excitement and action before, during and after the premier at the Berkeley Rep. Her words a few hours before on KPFA-Berkeley about this show drew me in and I felt fortunate to get tickets just hours before the premier. I found myself facing a board across the full west wall of the Rhoda theater with a Chalk heading of "I Am an Emotional Creature" and beneath that: poems, statements, prayers by the girls or women or others who took up the chaulk available for adding intimate content about their emotions. Eve Ensler had said it is only through the heart added to information or direction that action, change is caused. As the playwright spoke of her work, she said: "We can feel really bad about the young and old women who are raped in countries where we get the benefit of the country's exports to provide the necessary ingredients for our cell phones, but until there is a connection and the heart is engaged, where we see and feel real people being exploited or raped or killed, does it move from interesting. Then we see action, then we take action. Then we have change."
Enteriing the Berkeley Rep on Friday night, it was a full house. For the people around me, the excitement of the new play and the potential of its content making a place for girls/women to be and do and act in their range of authentic emotional expression could be felt in the lobby before the play even began.
The opportunity to participate in the work of VDAY was available at a table right next to the front door. Eve Ensler's first recognized work Vagina Monlogues awakened Eve and many of her friends and associates to the need for activism in response to gender violence all across the world. The contribution of VDAY.org shows up in many places but most notably in the City of Joy in the Congo. http://www.vday.org/node/2726
Vagina Monologue in 2002 led the playwright to work with women all over the world. Her work provided an impactful turn in the road for many in raising their consciousness and level of responsibility on a personal and global level. In 2003, Eve Ensler was also recognized for the film "What I Want My Words to Do" won the Sundance Freedom of Expression Award in 2003. A documentary about her writing class she led at the Bedford Hills Correctional facility.
The staging and timing of the evening without an intermission kept the intensity consistent with the experience the play produced. Directed by Obie Award winner Jo Bonney, who has worked with Emotional Creature since it's first workshop presentations, the play brings a sense of participation as we examine what it is to be a girl in the world today. Seven young teen actors perform representing girls from all circumstances of abuse and powerlessness and all places in the world, where pressure and punishment are the rewards for straying outside the accepted role of the female. Each represents the conditions that confine them, and the window of their potential for freedom as they refuse to accept their fate. The video and music used to drive the effects of their situations is deliberately penetrating and effecting. Social and physical violence are felt and heard; the potential for inspiration and empowerment are delivered in the faces of the actors and the spirit of the crowd as at the end, we all stand and cheer.
We, having gotten our seats late, are in the upper balcony where all the high school students are. Eve Ensler makes the possibility for this intimate, yet consciousness raising theater accessible to high school students. It seems about them, for them, their world.
Knowledge, Eve Ensler believes, and heart are the basis for change and Emotional Creature is here to engage, enrage and bring about the recognitions that will cause change throughout the world.

What to Know About... Penn Hills Soccer Winterfest 2013
What is it?
Soccer Winterfest is an annual indoor girls soccer tournament organized by the Penn Hills Lady Indians soccer team. Schools throughout the region are invited to field 10-player teams for a daylong tournament Jan. 19 at the Fralic Center, located at 20 Valmartin Drive. This will be the tournament's third year.
Who's playing?
Organizer M.J. Gula said, ideally, this year's tournament will be a 16-team bracket. Teams from Gateway, Franklin Regional, Oakland Catholic, Burrell, Ringgold, Latrobe, Mt. Pleasant, and Baldwin have confirmed their attendance.
More than one
The bracket more than likely will feature multiple Penn Hills teams. Gula said the tournament is an ideal way to develop team skills, particularly for upperclassmen. "It's for grades eight through 11, and it's a good chance for the juniors to take a leadership role as they head into their senior season on the varsity team," Gula said. "It's also a really good way for the younger girls, especially the ones who haven't played on the high school team before, to get some experience." Last year's champion was one of the three teams from Penn Hills.
Can we play?
Teams can register through today, Thursday. The cost is $180 per team and $160 for a second team. The format is five-on-five (four, plus a goalkeeper), and all entrants are guaranteed three 17-minute games. All players on a team must be from the same high school. Checks can be made payable to PHHSGSB c/o M.J. Gula, 5832 Heberton Drive, Verona, PA 15147. Gula can be reached at email@example.com. Games will take place throughout the day, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. The top two teams will win awards.
Perfect venue
Gula touted the benefits of holding the tournament at the carpeted Fralic Center: "We're really lucky to be able to have our tournament there. A lot of other winter tournaments are played in high school gyms, on the basketball court. So for us, we have a nicer surface, a nicer size and more space to play."

Robert Downey Jr. appears with son Indio Downey in 2008. / Noel Vasquez Getty Images
WEST HOLLYWOOD, California (AP) - Los Angeles authorities say the 20-year-old son of actor Robert Downey, Jr. is out on bail after being arrested with what deputies believe was cocaine.
Sheriff's Sgt. Dave Valentine says Indio Falconer Downey was taken into custody Sunday afternoon after a car he was in was pulled over in West Hollywood.
Valentine says Downey was booked on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance, believed to be cocaine, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Two other people were in the car but only Downey was arrested.
Downey was released shortly after 9 p.m. on $10,250 bail. A court date is set for Aug. 29.
Downey appeared in the 2005 movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which starred his father. An email sent to Robert Downey Jr.'s publicist was not immediately returned

Marathon runners always have a story to tell about their races. For most, the 26.2-mile race is a physical and emotional journey that becomes etched in their memories forever.
With the tragic events at the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon, local runners have compelling stories to tell of their races and their feelings of the unforgettable day.
Poughkeepsie's Terrence Dwyer shares his story and you can read more of these stories in the Thursday, April 25 Players section and on poughkeepsiejournal.com/players
Terrence Dwyer
It was my first Boston after having qualified in Chicago; my immediate worry race day morning was a right calf strain and metatarsalgia in my right foot. So finishing was a concern but the atmosphere and the crowds were an unbelievable boost. Boston was everything I heard it was the course, the crowds, the organization of the race, all of it top notch. Of course, concerns about injury and finishing time were trivial in light of the bombing, injuries and the loss of life.
I was in about 20-25 minutes before the bombs went off. I was just leaving the finishing area baggage claim after having changed clothes when (my wife) Joan and I were walking toward the Public Gardens and heard the bomb blasts about a block and a half away. I thought it was a sewer cap eruption like those that occur in New York City; Joan thought it was a cannon. Someone near us said it must have been a transformer that blew. We didn't know what actually happened until (my daughter) Siobhan called us to see if we were OK.
Then, there was a wall of sirens and emergency vehicles surrounding the area. Police helicopters hovered in the air and ambulances seemed to be all over. The "T" train system was shut down and getting a cab became difficult because streets were closed and cell service was sporadic. We were on Commonwealth Avenue as runners in heat blankets came down the street. I spoke to one runner who said they were taken off the course at or just past the 25-mile mark and diverted into downtown via a different route. A lot of runners were wandering around trying to reconnect with family and friends. There was no panic among people we saw and met; there seemed to be a general calm but concern for relatives they still had to meet up with. The main concern among people were reports that police were finding other unexploded devices and a false report that there had been a third explosion. Streets leading into Boylston Street and the finish area were locked down since the finish area was now a massive crime scene. We ended up walking six miles back to our hotel and then headed home. It wasn't until we got home and saw on the news where the actual blasts occurred that we realized Joan had been standing for four hours in the area of the second bomb blast and had just left the area 20 minutes earlier before the bomb went off. That really shook us up.
It is crazy, tragic and just plain sad that our sport has been targeted like this and the senseless loss of life and injury that resulted due to someone's sick plan. Ironically we took a moment of silence in the athletes' village at 9 a.m., for the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn., and Newtown families were supposedly at the finish line. Now they had to endure this tragedy as well. Sad. Very, very sad.

TPV Net Income Falls as TV Business Erodes Margins
TPV Technology Ltd., the world's biggest contract maker of computer monitors, said third-quarter profit fell 19 percent as expansion in the flat-panel television market lowered margins.
Net income dropped to $32 million, or 1.33 cents a share, from $39.5 million, or 1.73 cents, a year earlier, TPV said in a statement to Hong Kong's stock exchange today. That compares with the $31.9 million median profit estimate of three analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Sales rose to $2.95 billion from $2.26 billion a year earlier.
TPV's profitability came under pressure as the company sought to attract orders for the assembly of flat-panel televisions from clients including Sharp Corp. and Toshiba Corp. Lower selling prices for TVs eroded higher earnings at TPV's monitor business, which benefitted from increased demand for personal computers by businesses.
"TPV's margins in TVs are lower than for PC monitors," Steven Zhang, who rates TPV shares "hold" at DBS Vickers Ltd. in Hong Kong, said before the earnings. Consumer demand for flat-panel TVs has been weaker-than-expected in some markets, such as China, Zhang said.
TPV shares fell 1.2 percent to HK$5 in Hong Kong trading before the announcement.

Constellation Class: There seems to be a lack of quarters for the ship's personnel and I'm unable to find the engineering section. It must not necessarily be twice as big as
but I'd say 4 nacelles require corresponding engine room space.
The primary hull volume on the Constitution is approx 123,000m3. The Constellation is 91,576m3 but it's an odd shape so what I did was subtract the difference of 31,000m3 from the cargo+engineering volume to get a left-over of 310,356m3. That way the equivalent volume is available for crew on the Constellation. Even if the engineering volume doubled to 64,000m3, the left over volume is still an amazing 278,000m3 or 12x the Constitution's combined cargo+shuttlebay volume.

it had been established that any shuttlebay doors work mechanically and don't glow like these stern features of

) which could also be attached to these areas above. I can't really see the need why every starship has to have shuttlecraft (but apparently these areas were used for such purposes in the pilot DS9 episode).
I tend to think of the shuttlebay as the "other" cargo bay when the regular cargo area fills up

Dr. Charles Roehrig is a vice president and director of Altarum's Center for Sustainable Health Spending. A health care economist and econometrician, he specializes in health sector modeling and analysis.
Dr. Roehrig has many years of experience in forecasting health workforce supply and requirements. He is the lead designer of a number of models used by the U.S. Bureau of Health Professions (BHPr), including the Physician Supply Model (PSM) and Physician Demand Model (PDM). He recently developed physician supply and requirements estimates for the State of Michigan.
Dr. Roehrig is the lead designer of the Altarum Health Sector Model (AHSM), which represents the process by which population health status, access to care, and payment rates combine to determine national and state health expenditures. He is currently applying AHSM to the financial analysis of state-level health reform proposals. Previous applications include forecasting national health expenditures in a consumer-driven health care environment (presented to the 2006 National Consumer Driven Health Care Summit) and a study of early retirees who are at risk of losing their employer-sponsored coverage.
Dr. Roehrig is also developing time-series estimates of national expenditures by medical condition. These estimates are benchmarked to official government estimates of personal health expenditures from the National Health Expenditure Accounts. Thus, they cover spending by the civilian non-institutional population as well as the various institutionalized populations and the military. These estimates will provide policymakers with critical information on trends in spending by medical condition. They will also create the basis for adding medical condition forecasts to AHSM.
Other current research interests include: the impact of overall economic performance on the health sector; modeling the determinants of spending by medical condition; modeling individual preferences for alternative benefit designs; and health insurer risk-based capital requirements.
Dr. Roehrig has lectured in economics at the University of Michigan and served as a research associate of the University of Michigan School of Public Health. In addition to his applied research, he has published in the field of theoretical econometrics in academic journals such as Econometrica and the Journal of Econometrics.
Dr. Roehrig holds a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Michigan, a master of science degree in statistics from the University of Michigan, and a bachelor of arts degree in economics from Amherst College.

Re: 7X05 The Angels Take Manhattan (Grading/Discussion) (SPOILERS!)
I would love to visit New York, but the point I'm trying to make is that I didn't see enough of it on screen to warrant filming there. And the shots of Central Park did look devoid of life.
Watching the opening again, I'd say theres at most 5 shots which NEEDED to be filmed in New York, and any of the rest could easily have been faked in post, and to be honest probably were.
Doctor Who isn't set in New York every week though, and won't be again thanks to that little line of dialogue about if he went back in the Tardis it'll be blown up. Soo...what was the point? 5 shots of Rory holding coffee walking through a park? Theres a few in London that could easily have doubled for those. I just don't see the money on screen like I'd expect an episode filmed in New York would look like.

Sad Violin Music YKTTW Discussion
|Sad Violin Music
An extremely common trope where somebody is recounting a painful story, having a tragic flashback, or is overall in a very sad mood. Whenever one wants to punctuate a feeling of sadness, tragic music is played in the background and it will usually be a violin. Though it is often used as just plain background music, this trope is often lampshaded and parodied by the presence of an actual violinist who happens to be behind our protagonists during their moment of tragedy.

When you or your husband deployed, did you/he still get BAS?

Here is a website I have had on my list of links. I am not sure how current the numbers are though.
Currently in Afghan and he still receives BAS. He's located on a FOB and his "menu" is less than desirable.
It is technically supposed to be taken while the soldier is having meals provided through a mess hall, but most CoCs let it slide. With the budget cuts looming though, more and more are taking the BAS.
yes. and he's deployed more times to more places than i can remember.

Understanding ICE's Release of Immigrants with Criminal Convictions
Released on
Washington D.C. - Understanding the complexities of immigration law and its intersection with criminal law is not easy. Over the past month, a flood of reports about enforcement policies and deportation data have compounded the confusion. Some of these reports were clearly designed to derail genuine and productive conversations around immigration policy reform. Case in point, this week the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) issued a paper that claims over 36,000 "criminal aliens" were released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.
It's important to understand a few key issues underlying this report:
First, it's difficult to assess the methodology of their data collection or analysis because CIS makes none of it publicly available. There are no footnotes in the document, or citations of any kind. All of their data comes from "a document obtained by the Center for Immigration Studies," which they don't provide or describe. The chart in the report says nothing more than "Source: ICE." The article then goes on to draw even more conclusions about the document that are based on "separate information" that is never discussed or identified.
However, even for those who are unwilling to challenge the integrity or value of the CIS "data," it is still important to understand the following:
While all of the 36,000 they refer to may be foreign-born, by no means are they all unauthorized or "illegally" in the United States. In fact, many of them are likely to be legal permanent residents or green-card holders. So it may not even have been determined whether they can or should be deported from the United States. The offenses they committed may or may not even be grounds for revoking their green card and deporting them. Until that determination has been made, the use of alternatives to detention is not only consistent with the Constitutional principles and values that are the foundation of the judicial system in the United States, but it makes economic sense as well. DHS spends $5 million dollars per day (nearly $2 billion per year) detaining immigrants at a cost of $159 dollars per person, per day (fiscal year 2014). For people who have homes, family, and other ties to the community, who are unlikely to flee, and who pose no threat to the community, alternatives to detention are smart and effective. The test for detention should be an individualized consideration of public safety threat and flight risk, not a one size fits all rule that covers all immigrants.
Next, all the people identified in the CIS document appear to have paid their fine or done their time for their criminal offense. However, since they are foreign-born, after completion of their criminal sentences they are turned over to immigration authorities who determine if their offenses should result in deportation. Many of these people are legal permanent residents (including those who have been here for many years and have family here) who have a right to a hearing before they lose their status. Immigration proceeding are not meant to be, nor should they be, criminal proceedings. In fact, the justification for the lack of due process in immigration proceedings is that they are civil, not criminal. The demand for harsh detention and punitive treatment is completely at odds with what the immigration system is supposed to be. If we are going to treat these people like criminals, then CIS should be equally adamant in demanding full due-process rights. Not surprisingly, they are not.
Also, the overwhelming majorities of these convictions are for minor offenses and include things like tax fraud, disturbing the peace, traffic convictions, and other minor crimes that would be classified as misdemeanors for natives, but which for immigrants are often classified as felonies. Wild accusations notwithstanding, we know next to nothing about the true nature of the offenses or the potential threat that these people pose. DHS should be vigilant about protecting communities from those who truly pose a threat, but that is accomplished by looking at the facts, not by making decisions based on labels or fear- mongering.
Moreover, just like in the criminal justice system, the immigration laws contemplate that many individuals going through the court system can remain home while those proceedings are pending. All of these individuals were released under supervision because of basic Constitutional principles that apply to all people. The Supreme Court has affirmed that the United States cannot lock people up indefinitely after they have served their sentence. For those facing the possibility of indefinite detention, the Court has made it clear that there must be a process to review these cases and release people who can be safely released. However, for those who pose a "special risk to public safety," they can continue to be detained. All of the cases in the CIS report appear to have been determined to be cases where this exception does not apply.
Finally, there is nothing in the CIS paper which indicates that DHS has terminated proceedings or exercised any kind of prosecutorial discretion in these cases. Being "released" from custody doesn't mean people are "set free." They are released after paying a bond, under an order of supervision, with an ankle bracelet, etc. while DHS can and does continue to pursue a case against them.
There is no question that our current immigration laws and policies are broken, and the status quo is unsustainable. However, inflammatory rhetoric and baseless accusations are not going to get us an immigration system that is good for our economy, good for families, and that keeps our country safe. That will require our elected officials to move past political rhetoric and posturing and start debating what reform should look like. We can and should have laws that are fair, sensible, and humane - laws that are consistent with our Constitution and our values, and that will keep our country safe and improve our economy. The only question that remains is when will Congress act?

Pitching VCs is a serious challenge at any stage, but asking for a $30-60 million check is usually the sale of a founder's life.

Our hearts and thoughts go out to the victims and families who have suffered from the acts of brutality committed in Beirut, Paris, Baghdad, Zabul and now multiple cities in Nigeria over the last number of days.
We condemn these terrorist attacks in Lebanon, Afghanistan, France, Iraq and Nigeria. We mourn with the victims and send our deepest condolences to their families. No one's life should end in this way; no family should suffer the anguish and loss that these people are suffering.
In the past few years, due to the constantly expanding nature of U.S. military actions, IVAW has transitioned from focusing on the individual wars to a more strategic approach to the work. We focus on the root cause that underlines both the occupations by U.S. military abroad and the violence perpetrated in our communities by police right here at home: militarism.IVAW's mission is to build a service member and veteran led movement that ends militarism by transforming ourselves, military culture, and American society.
To that end, IVAW invites you to join with us in a campaign to:
Drop the MIC is focused on interrupting the relationships between profit, institutional violence and politicians.
Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), in accordance with its policy on non-discrimination, fully supports the rights of transgender people and the right of gender determination. Furthermore, the policy will be implemented by:
I've tried, pretty successfully, to live a life without too much fear. Growing up I didn't follow the rules of stranger danger. I talked to everyone I met, picked up hitchhikers, went out to unfamiliar places alone, and I'm convinced it has enriched my life. I've been lucky; I've never had anything bad happen, at least not from someone I was supposed to be afraid of. After all my biggest source of trauma has come in the form of surprise attack from someone I was in a relationship with¾not a stranger lurking behind a bush.
My outgoing and trusting nature even translated to the war zone, where I was regularly reprimanded for trying to make friends with the Iraqis instead of treating them as a threat to our safety. When we were at the market or on our camp "guarding" local Iraqi workers my curiosity and desire for connection always outweighed my sense of fear and danger.
We will continue to update the section below for showings of the Portfolio. Check back here frequently.
Today is a solemn day for us. Twelve years ago the Bush administration launched the illegal invasion of Iraq, forever altering millions of lives.
As an organization made up of veterans who have seen firsthand the impacts of war and who have also been deeply implicated in it, we know that this day must be seared into our collective conscience. Forgetting can not be an option.
So much of what we see in our foreign policy and domestic political landscape can be connected to that fateful decision. It is reflected in everything from the climate of deep Islamophobia at home, to the high suicide rates of veterans, from the brutal rise of ISIS, to the militarization of police departments across the country. These are just a few examples of how widespread the effects have been.
IVAW is open to Active Duty, National Guard and Reservists who have served since 09/11/2001. You are not alone.

Noun (Merriam-Webster): a person who is extraordinarily strange or eccentric
First Known Use: 1955; According to Dictionary.com, the -o suffix is often added to a noun or adjective to create a new noun that is derogatory in nature. Weirdo is a derivative of the Scottish word weirdie which means "strange person." My recollection is that weirdo became part of the vernacular pretty quickly because I remember calling boys weirdos in the late 1960s. By the time I was tween in the early 1970s, I savored any attention I received of those "weirdos!"
Example: I am pretty sure that more than one technology salesperson has called me a weirdo in their mind when I explain that I don't need all of the latest bells and whistles on a gadget. I just want it to do what I want it to do!
Your Turn: In what way might you be considered a "weirdo?" And, of course, use weirdo correctly in a sentence.

The largest village on the Isla de Ometepe with a population of around 3,500. Located on the west coast of the island it is here where the ferry docks and leaves to San Jorge. This place obviously is influenced by the tourist industry as there are a few hotels, restaurants, tourist info spots and the what not. What I'm assuming to be the main tourist site here is a model of the island which is near the dock but it has seen better days. For me, this place was mostly a transit point.
San Jorge
This little village on Lago de Nicaragua seems like a quiet place except for the fact it is the port to get to Ometepe Island. Located only a couple of kilometres from the department capital Rivas, it's easy to get to. There is a couple of hotels here and restaurants but most visitors will use it a as gateway to Ometepe. You can also catch buses here to get to other places in Nicaragua, but I would just catch a cab to Rivas and catch buses from there as the ones that leave here leave far less frequently.
Rivas is the capital of this department and is an old colonial city. There are some minor sites here but I only used this place as a transit point. It's easy access to San Jorge where you can catch a ferry to Isla de Ometepe and a place to catch a bus to Managua because Rivas is located right next to the Pan American Highway. For the time I spent here, I found to feel like a safe place.
Isla de Ometepe
Quite simply on of the main reasons to visit this country is this place. Isla de Ometepe is an island in Lago de Nicaragua that has a hour glass shape with a volcano on each side. Volcan Concepcion is in the northwest of the island and the taller one standing at 1,610m. Volcan Madera is on the southeast part of the island and stands at 1,394m. These volcanoes have made the soil very fertile and the island is quite lush and grows tobacco and coffee. But there is more to do than just the volcanoes. Nice beaches, kayaking, waterfalls, archeology, wildlife and of course, exploring on your on time. The population is about 35,000.
I only spent 3 days and 2 nights here. I took the ferry from San Jorge and was about a 2 hour ride to Moyogalpa. Stayed on the isthmus and got around by bike or the local bus the runs around the island (which is quite slow). I felt totally safe on this island besides the bugs.
San Juan Del Sur
San Juan Del Sur is one of the top two destinations to vist in this department. I found it to be a great little beach town and a welcome relief after spending almost a week in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. Getting into town took a bit because the road was quite chewed up. The town goes at a slow pace considering it is a fairly big tourist town by Nicaraguan standards. It has a nice large beach and I here the area is pretty good for surfing. Along the beach front, you have all your standard expensive restaurants (expensive for the area, but really, still not bad) as with some cheaper ones in town. There is a range of accomodation, none being too expensive. There are a few banks where I was able to use an ATM and a decent little market, but I didn't spent too much time in it. When I was there, their was nightly power outages, which had a certain charm to them considering the location. If you are in southern Nicaragua, it would be quite a shame to miss this place.
Lago De Nicaragua
When looking at a map of Nicaragua it may seem that the entire southwest portion is missing. That's because Central America's largest lake is located there. Cocibolca by it's native name or Lago De Nicaragua is a giant lake at 8624 km2. Althought it is not entirely located in this department, it probably here that the average tourist will get the most experience of the lake from. With a depth up to 70m there is the selection of fish that make this lake home and even some bull sharks but the later are rare. The lake is home to 400 islands including the biggest island Isla de Ometepe which is one of the most beautiful islands to gaze upon. Evidence still remains of ancient people living on and using the islands which adds a nice touch of history to the region.

Been thinking about trying one so I finally did, it was very warm this morning in VA.
I have never been on TT ramp so that was very weird, some nice guy made sure I didn't fall while I was already clipped in. The wind was in my face on the way out, I kept saying to myself mash hard it will be down wind on the way back. I noticed fluid was pouring out of my skin and My legs were burning.
Let me say the State Police had cars with lights on and were at every turn stopped traffic and pointed in the right direction as each rider approached , thanked everyone of them as I had never rode this course. It was a very rural area single lane occasional car.
Well the way back was not down wind it seemed we had a strong side wind .:not amused:
I made it Back, with my road bike, and road bike helmet. Haven't seen my time yet, I had to leave and they were just starting the 20 y/o. must been a bunch they were still warming up on their stands as I drove off. I didn't want to leave but I needed more fluids and my ice chest was low ( bring twice as much fluids as you think you will drink )
I must say I really did feel the burn after the ride, and my left leg had a cramped Glutis muscle that made it hard to get in the car. I walked like a cowboy for the first hour till my muscles loosened up,,,
I have never ridden 23 miles so hard and fast in my life, note to self: I will do more sprints and such to build those muscles you use when you ride hard the entire ride TT's are harder than they look on TV.. hehe
Neat experience give or take a little pain on the ride...

Inspired by a daughter who bungee-jumped on her 50th birthday, Walla Wallan Sharon Ford was compelled to greater heights when her 80th birthday rolled around this month.
She opted for skydiving.
"I love flying and if I was younger and didn't have eight kids I would have taken up flying," she said.
When she mentioned her desire to her family, "it snowballed and the grandkids and kids started talking about it."
The longtime teacher's aide who retired from Walla Walla School District, headed to Ritzville July 2 for the experience with husband Dale and most of their adult children in tow. There were 10 in her skydiving party, including four of her 13 grandchildren and four of her children.
"The jump was exhilarating, exciting, invigorating ... every word you can think of - just to be out in the atmosphere, free as the breeze," she recalled. "It was everything I expected and more."
West Planes Skydiving Center jump instructor Noe Cortez "showed me how to bank it and we did some circles."
Sharon was in a harness firmly attached to the very experienced instructor, who she thinks cushioned the landing. As they neared the drop zone, he kept saying "pick your legs up, pick your legs up."
"They're up as high as they'll go," she responded.
"At 80 you're not real flexible, so I couldn't get my legs up any higher," she mused later.
Sharon led the pack out of the plane, chuckling that she was the "less important one to go and (the others) all have families to take care of."
But weather conditions weren't optimum for everyone to jump, Sharon said. Sons Mike Ford, director of an MRI clinic in Los Angeles, and Jeff Ford, an insurance agent in San Dimas, Calif., did make it, though. After they landed, "We all said, 'let's do it again!'" Sharon said.
"By gosh, it was really neat," said Dale, who watched from the ground. They took videos of Sharon's feat and later reviewed the action, watching her get in the plane and later jump out.
Only daughter Gale Petersen, a homemaker in Vancouver, Wash., was unable to attend Sharon's celebration weekend.
The couple's other daughters hosted a party at Assumption Catholic Church for Sharon on July 3 - her actual birthday. "We had a terrific weekend," Dale said. About 100 people attended the party at the church. "I had so many people congratulate us on our family. That made our day. It really made us feel good. They've all done well for themselves," Dale said.
Daughters include Deborah Hudson, a homemaker from Cheney; Heather Kautzky, a department manager at Boeing Co. who lives in Sammamish, Wash.; Dawn Wilhelm of Liberty Lake and a speech therapist at Medical Lake; and Jennifer Marsh, a teacher near her home in Rathdrum, Idaho.
Mike and his brother, Steve Ford, a patent attorney in Portland, took three days to get to Walla Walla, riding bicycles with Steve's friend Denise Dazzito.
This has been a banner year for the Ford family in terms of milestones. Jennifer's husband, Kevin Marsh, a chiropractor, competed in the Iron Man contest in Coeur d'Alene. He's competed for several years and was pleased to knock 30 minutes off his previous time.
After a long career with the school district, Dale said Sharon wanted to become a teacher. She earned her teaching certificate from the Washington State University campus in Tri-Cities, taught for one year and then retired at age 69. Dale spent 50 years as the Chevron Oil distributor in Walla Walla. He's also a diehard St. Louis Cardinals fan.
Maybe the dust will settle once the couple observes their 54th wedding anniversary on July 26 and Dale's 83rd birthday on Aug. 7. And with the kids out of the nest, the Fords dote on two beloved ragdoll cats, Albert and Andy.
- If you get into your paper early enough this morning, there's still time to participate in the seventh annual Sean Vandenberg Memorial Ride and barbecue today. The event is in memory of Sean Vandenberg, who died of cancer in 2001, said his mother and organizer Peggie Vandenberg.
Funds raised help provide wishes for seriously ill and seriously injured children in the Walla Walla Valley through Children's Wishes and Dreams. Proceeds also provide for an annual scholarship to a Touchet High School graduate. Sean Vandenberg loved motorcycles and received one as a "wish" from a local wish-granting organization in 1993. Amanda Vandenberg, Sean's sister, will ride his bike during the event.
Ride registration is from 9-10 a.m., when the first bikes will leave on a poker run. It is open to motorcycles and any other street-legal mode of transportation. Each poker hand is $5 with no limit to the number of hands played.
The ride starts and ends at the Touchet School park and is approximately 85 miles through back roads of Touchet, Milton-Freewater and the foothills of Walla Walla.
The relaxed route will culminate with a barbecue for the whole family. The cost is $10 for all you can eat; or $5 for children 12 and under.
DJ Lotek will provide music and there will also be raffles and prize drawings.
For more information, to make donations or directions, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call 509-394-0330 or 520-5396.
- Host families, liasons and American Field Service volunteers toasted and touted exchange students as "Here Comes the Sun" played, said Darcy Dauble.
The backyard potluck occasion marked the end of a nearly 11-month stay for AFS exchange students and was held at the home of Linnea and Robert Keatts.
The students stayed with host families in Waitsburg, Dayton and Walla Walla.
Hon Ching 'Edmond' Lai of Hong Kong spoke of life in a small town and tormenting his host 'brothers' as highlights for him. The Beasley family in Waitsburg hosted Edmund.
Dimunitive Nur 'Isna' Masyithoh of Indonesia was presented with the BuziBee award for her involvement in activities at Walla Walla High School. She stayed with Laura Reiter and will not be able to 'pack' the family cat.
Espen Myrstad of Norway received a stuffed toy dolphin for his enthusiasm and 'diving' into any and all possibilities - including a recent trip with friends to a concert at George at the Gorge. The Keatts enjoyed Espen for the year and will meet his family soon when they come to visit.
Arnaud Darfeuil of France thanked his host family, Elisa and Kevin Pogue of Walla Wallam for their support this last year.
Waritta 'Salma' Charoenchit of Thailand spoke of good memories she would be 'packing' for her return. Gene and Cassie Spangrude hosted Salma.
Hazem Said Zater of Egypt appreciated the healthy, good food host 'mom' Rhonda Olson prepared for him. He didn't gain 20 pounds as reported by exchange students he had talked to before coming. Kristina Sjursen Loso, also of Norway, was away on a last family trip with her hosts, Glenn and Aileen Warren of Dayton.
The students were scheduled to return home the last week in June. A new group will arrive the second week of August when a welcoming potluck is held.
Host families remarked on how fast the year goes and the changes they see in their new 'sons' and 'daughters.' At the end of the year, the students are confident, at ease with themselves and each other, joking in English as younger siblings vie for their attention.
Information sessions for those interested in becoming host families are held in the fall. Applications by potential host families are usually submitted in January/February for the following August to June time period. Training sessions are held for families and an AFS liason selected for additional support. Contact Linnea, current home placement specialist for the Valley Chapter, at 509-525-0049 for further information about either hosting or volunteering with AFS.
- The record 4,496 men and women recognized as graduates from Oregon State University in OSU's 141st commencement ceremony June 12 in Reser Stadium included several area residents: Jordan M. Alford, Athena, a bachelor's in human development and family sciences; Cassandra A. Sept, Walla Walla, bachelor's business administration. From Milton-Freewater: Jany E. Alcala, bachelor's, psychology; Lyndsey B. Croghan, bachelor's, cum laude, civil engineering; Emily M. Holden, bachelor's, cum laude, general agriculture; Briana L. Kelly, bachelor's in biology; Joshua M. Paine, bachelor's, magna cum laude, radiation health physics; and Weston, Celie L. Faircloth, bachelor's, human development and family sciences.
- KUJ Radio talk show host Jim Bock regaled Milton-Freewater Rotary Club members with tales from his 30 years in radio. He also talked about work he's done at Little Theatre of Walla Walla and onstage in Los Angeles and Londan during the Rotary meeting June 22.
He shared anecdotes about topics that came up on his talk show programs that caught him a bit unprepared.
Jim came to attention during an interview with Walla Wallan Scotty Cummins, a lifelong supporter of sporting events and programs, and sporting goods business owner; when he casually mentioned playing in a baseball game against Satchel Paige. Scotty got a hit off Satchel Paige when Scotty played for the old Walla Walla Bears.
In an interview with Eugene Fletcher, Jim discovered he was a crew member aboard a World War II B-17 that flew many missions over Germany.
His story is reminiscent of the movie plot of the "Memphis Belle," which flew 30 of those missions.
Rotarian Robby Robbins noted that Jim's "was a very interesting presentation that left us all smiling and thinking about some of the people we know, or have known, who have surprised us with similar stories and comments."
And during the June 29 Rotary meeting, members met Adam Kipp, a third-year medical student at Oregon Health Sciences University. He's in Milton-Freewater for four weeks of rural experience, noted member Robby Robbins.
- Jacob Crawford and Grayleen M. Duffy, both of Walla Walla, received scholarships of $1,000 each from Providence St. Mary Service League.
Students who plan to enter the field of medicine are eligible for the awards. Jacob plans to become a doctor of medicine. The 2010 Walla Walla High School graduate plans to enter Boise State University this fall.
Grayleen plans to enroll in the nursing program at Walla Walla Community College.

I know, it's so close to the weekend that you can taste it. But before you sign off for the day, your peepers sore and fingers trembling, here's a comprehensive list – sure to get your tummy rumbling – of Bay Area bands' favorite local restaurants, food trucks, and eateries. I compiled these answers from our On the Rise questionnaire (results of which are in this week's issue [1]) and my ongoing Localized Appreesh [2] column. Enjoy.
San Francisco Bay Guardian: So local Bay Area musicians, what's your favorite local eatery and dish?
DJ Theory: [3] Cubano sandwich and sangria from Parada 22 in Upper Haight.
Dirty Ghosts: [4] I don't wanna be boring and say the super burrito at Cancún which is my real answer, so the margarita pizza at Una Pizza Napoletana
Metal Mother: Tacubaya in Berkeley, all the vegetarian dishes are amazing. My favorite is probably the 'seasonal vegetable' tamales.
Main Attrakionz: Buffet Fortuna in Downtown Oakland; chow fun noodles
Seventeen Evergreen: So many options here but let's nominate the Chilaquiles at the farmer's market in the Ferry Building or a number of places in the Mission for the same.
Jhameel: Cheeseboard Pizza in Berkeley. Perfect vegetarian pizzas.
Future Twin: Secret Spot has delicious bagels, fresh squeezed juice, and homegrown greens.
Terry Malts: The #6 at Turtle Tower, best for hangovers.
Tycho: [5] Thai Time — Red Chicken Curry (or anything else there).
Black Cobra: 1. Cathead's Barbecue. Cornmeal crusted tofu is killer!
2. The Submarine Shop on West Portal. Italiano center sub with a Coke.
Silver Swans: El Metate Mexican Veggie burrito, the vegetables are roasted and always fresh. Everything there is delicious and on the cheap, right down to their alfajore cookies, I fully endorse the entire menu.
Le Vice: [6]Broken Record — fresh organic soul food in a grimy-ass dive bar. Tasty as fuck. Hipster bling.
Ash Reiter: [7] House of Curries - chicken tikka masala with potato nan.
Magic Touch: [8]Ken Ken Ramen - Japanese ramen + veggie up.
The Fucking Buckaroos: [9] Mission's Kitchen - Breakfast Burrito.
Prize: Millenium for overall vegetarian dining experience, and the garlic spread from Stinking Rose for the best actual thing to put in my mouth.
Swiftumz: Fresh Dungeness crabs!
Buffalo Tooth: Morty's in the TL, Chicken BLT.
Cosmo Alleycats: Steve: Le Colonial's brussels sprouts; Mike: Cordon Blue, California @ Hyde, menu #5; Emily: Where to begin? The food trucks at Off the Grid are ridiculous. I'm addicted to Curry Up Now's chicken tikka masala burrito. Also, the veggie burger at the Plant Organic is to die for. And I love my Thursday night 'liquid dinners' with the band at Blondie's Bar & No Grill.
Mental 99: Joe: Iwashi (sardine) at Tataki South (Church and 29th). Dawn: It's hard to go wrong in SF – so many good places to eat. But the veggie burrito at Taqueria Cancún is pretty tasty – and close by, especially if you just played El Rio.
Uni & Her Ukelele: Green Chili Kitchen.
Symbolick Jews: The Philly cheese steak at Mission Kitchen is forged in the fires of gastro-intestinal hell, and I stand by its superiority over any other cheese steak in the city.
G-Eazy: Gordo's on College Ave in Berkeley, without a doubt.
The Spyrals: That's a tough one. Probably Los Compadres. It's a family owned Taqueria in South City, near where we rehearse. Damn good carnitas.
TurbonegrA: Esperpento. It's cheap and fast - like us!
The Sandwitches: Chevys and fried chicken.
Debbie Neigher: Plantain black bean burrito at Little Chihuahua.
Violet Hour: Sausages at Rosamunde's on Haight
Waterstrider: We frequent Taqueria La Familia. It is the best Mexican food in Berkeley. Their veggie burritos or chile rellenos do the trick for me.
Dreams: Shakin' Jesse at Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe. Guinness, espresso, and ice cream - can't go wrong with that.
The 21st Century: Al Pastor at El Metate--dynamite.And the Cold House Noodles at Yamo.
Rank/Xerox: Golden Gate Indian Cuisine and Pizza on Judah. Best restaurant in the city, eat everything but the Italian dishes.
[10]The Jauntying Martyrs: [10] Lucca Foods on Irving and 20th. Best deli in SF, baby. Get the Billy Filly. (You can only get it when Billy's working).
Religious Girls: [11] Bake Sale Betty's fried chicken sandwich

Author Info
|Robyn Carr
|Romance writer Robyn Carr is well known for her contemporary Virgin River novels, which take place in a fictional town in California. Carr was born in Minnesota, but when she married her high-school sweetheart, Jim, his military career took the couple to bases in Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. Although she had trained as a nurse, Carr was unable to seriously pursue her career because of the frequency of their moves. Confined to bed during a difficult pregnancy, she read up to 10 romances a week, and she came to believe that she could become a writer instead. In 1980 her first historical romance, CHELYNNE, was published. She later branched out into contemporary settings, and in 2007 she published VIRGIN RIVER, the first book in her popular series. Many of the characters in the Virgin River books are veterans, a group for which Carr has a special affinity. (Her husband is now retired from the Air Force, and the couple has settled in Las Vegas.) Although she is exceedingly fond of Virgin River and its denizens, Carr has said that if the rugged town actually existed, she would not want to live there. "I have an overwhelming need to live in a place where I can get my eyebrows waxed," she has quipped.
|"Carr keeps her Virgin River stories coming, much to the delight of readers. In this volume she continues her winning combination of homey details with a tensely emotional exploration of characters at a turning point in their lives."
From the Publisher

Full, saturated medium ruby. Superb nuance and lift to the aromas of kirsch, violet, licorice pastille and crushed stone. Wonderfully sappy and alive in the mouth, with outstanding energy and tension to its dark fruit, floral and minerals flavors. Conveys a powerful impression of dry extract, not to mention an exhilarating balance of sweetness and acidity. Noble tannins coat every square millimeter of the palate on the building, vibrant aftertaste. A great vintage for this consistently outstanding bottling: this may yet merit an even higher score 12 or 15 years down the road. (96+?)
There is just enough wood to be visible but it should be absorbed in short order. Interestingly, the aromatic profile is relatively similar to that of the Griotte, though this has significantly more depth and concentration to the full-bodied, powerful and explosive flavors that benefit greatly from the exceptional depth of material before culminating in a massively long and impeccably well-balanced finish. Sometimes the Roty Charmes displays its wood for years but the 2010 version appears as though it will eat it sooner than usual. In short, this is a stunner of a wine that clearly outclasses its two grands crus stable mates so if you can find it buy it.
