Richmond, VA (September 11, 2010) – A week removed from going on a tear in Atlanta that found his average lap times in the Top 15, Casey Mears was anxious to get back to work in Richmond.
The race weekend kicked off with a visit to GEICO's corporate office, located just 100-miles from Richmond International Raceway. GEICO officials expressed their excitement about Mears' contribution to their NASCAR Sprint Cup Series program and Mears departed the D.C. office with confidence and focus.
Whatever GEICO's top brass shared with Mears must have carried great motivation because the GEICO Racing team entered Richmond poised for success.
At the end of the opening NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice session, Mears was the fourth fastest 'go or go home' car. Crew chief Bootie Barker then made wholesale changes before the final practice session got underway. Barker, known as one of the most cerebral crew chiefs in the business, nailed it. The final session saw Mears and the #13 GEICO Camry as high as fourth on the speed chart before ending up 17th when the session closed. More importantly for the Germain Racing team, Mears was the fastest 'go or go home' car, while the next 'go or go homer' sat all the way down in 28th position.
When qualifying got underway, Mears and the #13 GEICO Camry went out 38th and quickly placed themselves in Saturday night's field. When the checkered flag ended his qualifying run, Mears found himself 18th on the starting grid after pacing the ¾-mile D-shaped oval in just 21.366 seconds, at a rate of speed of 126.369 miles per hour.
When race time arrived, the GEICO Racing team carried heavy hearts, as the NASCAR pre-race activities honored those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, as well as first responders and our troops abroad.
Starting in the 18th position, Mears would drop to 21st on Lap 23, but just one lap later, he placed the #13 GEICO Camry back in the Top 20. On lap 57, Kurt Busch sent David Reutimann for a spin, bringing out the event's first caution flag of the evening. The caution would allow Mears to bring the GEICO Camry down pit road for four fresh Goodyear tires and a tank of Sunoco racing fuel.
On an otherwise beautiful evening, rain began to fall on lap 215, ultimately causing the caution flag to be displayed on lap 225. Mears came down pit road with the balance of the field to take on tires and fuel while the rain began to slow a bit. By lap 241, the green flag was out and the race was back underway.
Mears kept the #13 GEICO Camry in the Top 25 for the entire evening, running solidly ahead of both Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin for much of the time. He even flirted with the top 10 when he found himself in the 11th position on lap 327, until a scheduled green flag pit stop sent him down pit road for his final stop of the evening. After taking on tires and fuel, Mears rejoined the field in the 22nd spot. With just eight laps remaining in the Air Guard 400, Mears managed to track down Martin Truex, Jr, and secure the 21st position.
When the checkered flag was displayed, Mears and the #13 GEICO Camry notched a 21st place finish, capping off a two week run that has shown marked improvement in the GEICO Racing Sprint Cup Series program.
"Tonight was a lot of fun and I think we're showing that we're pretty good at what we're doing," Mears said. "This #13 GEICO Camry is a good racecar and I appreciate all of the hard work that these Germain Racing guys are putting into it. We're committed to getting to the front of the field, so we're continuing to work hard and tweak on some things to make the program better." He continued, "It was a great experience going to GEICO's corporate office on Thursday and getting to sit down and talk to their top executives face-to-face and see their excitement about our race program. They are committed to giving us what we need to be successful and it feels great knowing we have that kind of support."
The next GEICO sponsored race for Casey Mears and the Germain Racing team will be at Dover International Speedway on Sunday, September 26, 2010.
Mears and the #13 GEICO Toyota Camry will hit the Monster Mile for the opening practice session at 11:30 AM (EDT) on Friday, September 24th, followed by qualifying at 3:10 PM (EDT).
The Dover NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is on Sunday, September 26th, and it will be televised live on ESPN beginning at 1:00 PM (EDT), while the Motor Racing Network (MRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

David Hall: The 1920-D is a rare coin in high grades and a very rare coin in mint state. In Gem condition, the 1920-D is not quite as rare as the 1921-D, 1918-D or 1917-D Reverse. Nonetheless, the issue, like all early (pre-1934) Denver mint Walkers is a tough coin to find in Gem condition.
The 1920-D is usually decently sruck. Luster can be satiny to somewhat frosty.

What's next for the craft beer industry?
Conference turnout, growth of niche brews show it's coming of age
2012 Craft Brewers Conference & BrewExpo America
When: Today through Saturday
Where: Town & Country Resort, San Diego
Note: The conference is only open to registered attendees.
Online: Check here utsandiego.com/brewery-rowe for associated beer tastings, brewery tours and other events that are open to the public.
The Craft Brewers Conference, today through Saturday in Mission Valley, catches a young industry on the brink of robust adulthood. The signs of maturity are as unmistakable as an India Pale Ale's hoppy aroma.
The conference's turnout this year? A record: 4,500 brewers, exhibitors and fans.
The World Beer Cup — whose winners will be announced at Saturday's closing banquet — is now the globe's largest commercial brewing contest.
But for Kurt Widmer, brewmaster at Portland, Ore.'s 28-year-old Widmer Brothers, perhaps the most telling sign is black and white and read all over. That's no joke — wandering through the convention, he marveled at all the books.
"When we started out, there was one book in the market," he said, referring to "The Practical Brewer," the industry's dry-but-dependable bible. "Now, look at all of those!"
From "The Oxford Companion to Beer" to "Beer in America: The Early Years," hundreds of volumes hint at Americans' growing interest in this topic. But no book can answer the question bedeviling the $8.7 billion American craft beer industry.
What's next?
The U-T put this question to some of beer's brightest minds. Their answers:
1. More breweries
In the overall beer market, craft beer — brews made by independent companies using traditional methods — remains a bit player, accounting for about six of every 100 beers sold in the United States.
"It's a small piece of the pie," admitted Julia Herz, craft beer program director of the Brewers Association, the Colorado-based trade group running this conference. "But it's a big pie."
While overall U.S. beer sales were down 1.3 percent by volume last year, the craft segment continues to grow.
Big in dollars: The entire U.S. beer industry, at $95.5 billion, accounts for 1.5 percent of the gross domestic product. Big, also, in its reach: Last year, 60 percent of American adults hoisted a brew.
And craft beer is preparing to swallow a bigger slice of this pie. As of March, the U.S. was home to 2,000 breweries, all but a handful considered craft operations. An additional 1,000 are in the planning stages, most of modest size — annually producing 15,000 barrels of beer or less — and many stressing their local roots.
"We're seeing the localization of beer," Herz said. "Today, the majority of Americans live within 10 miles of a brewery."
In San Diego County, which should boast 60 breweries by year's end, most residents live even closer. "You're seeing phenomenal growth," said Widmer. "Every time I come down here, it's changed so much."
Escondido-based Stone Brewing Co. and San Diego-based Karl Strauss Brewing Co. are the top two brewers in the county by volume.
The local brewers are earning a national reputation. Ballast Point, for instance, won three gold medals at the last World Beer Cup in 2010 — it is held every two years — and was named Small Brewing Company of the Year.
This year, the competition has attracted more than 4,000 entries from 828 breweries — including from almost every local brewery — from 56 countries.
2. Bigger isn't better
More breweries means more beer. Does it also mean more beer sales?
Yes — to a degree, argued David "Bump" Williams. But the Connecticut-based beer analyst argued that successful newcomers and rapidly expanding veterans like Escondido's Stone and Colorado's New Belgium will grow at the expense of craft beer's biggest players.

I thought this was one of those emails that has been floating around so I googled it,
SALT LAKE CITY An Duchesne County man has been charged with shooting a deer in an area closed to hunting.
Gunshots were reported at Camp Williams the night of Oct. 24, 2011. A military sergeant responded to the gunshots and found a headless mule deer carcass, according to charges filed Wednesday in the 3rd District Court.
The sergeant believed the carcass was that of a mule deer nicknamed "the Rabbi" because of its "very large and uniquely shaped antlers" that measured 37 inches, making it a trophy deer, according to prosecutors. The antlers were valued at $8,000.
Nearly a month later, authorities received an anonymous tip that a set of antlers resembling those of the Rabbi were at a Sandy taxidermy shop. Officers questioned the taxidermist, confirmed the antlers were from the Rabbi, and determined who had brought in the deer head, the charges state.
Stephen Dick Rueckert, 46, of Altamont, was questioned and told investigators he knew he was not allowed to hunt at Camp Williams, the charges state.
"That's my deer; I killed that deer," he allegedly told investigators.
Reuckert was charged with wanton destruction of protected wildlife, a third-degree felony.

I thought this was one of those emails that has been floating around so I googled it,
Oy Vey!
That is truly a shame.
Goodbye Rabbi, alev ha-sholem.
That is a heck of a deer. I hate that he was poached. What a trophy buck.
Wow. Ya I saw some pics of this same deer a few weeks ago somewhere. Dam shame he was poached. A deer like that you would think everyone would know he was there so why would some fool think he could get away with that!
What an idiot, and what a shame for the deer and those who got to enjoy watching him in person. He should have been called the "Spider Buck".
Todd H
What a shame indeed, with all the pictures floating around you know your gonna get caught. Maybe he doesn't have the internet in Altamont. I hope they stick it to him!
Shoot STR8
Disgusting someone someone could shoot a buck like that and just cut the head off and leave the carcass.
Yes poaching is just bad news. It hits even closer to home when it gets violent. Below was a story of the farmer/friend who leased some farm property that my Aunt owned that happened in 2005 in Kansas. Our friend lived and they caught the guy but it's just plain stinks.
Poachers stab Longford farmer
Tuesday, November 15, 2005 12:00 am
Clay County man injured after confronting three men with beheaded buck
By SHARON MONTAGUE
Salina Journal
A Clay County farmer who previously had complained to officials about poachers was stabbed late Sunday by deer poachers he confronted on a rural road. The farmer, Marvin Macy, 67, rural Longford, was in serious condition Monday at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita. No arrests had been made by late Monday, Clay County Sheriff Chuck Dunn said. Officials were looking for three men in a red, 1980s or early '90s Ford pickup truck with a white dog box in the back. The pickup had a Kansas license tag. The alleged poachers left behind a deer — illegally killed with a shotgun and its head severed.
Rob Ladner, regional supervisor for the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, said Macy's wife called the natural resource officer assigned to Clay County at about 6 p.m. Sunday, after her husband heard shots fired near their home. Macy went to investigate, planning to meet the state officer. Dunn said Macy confronted two men on a rural road in the Longford area and saw a third man in the pickup truck. During that confrontation, Macy was stabbed in the abdomen and side and cut on the face.
One of the alleged poachers jumped in Macy's car and the other got into the pickup truck. Both vehicles sped away. Macy, bleeding from his wounds, walked about a quarter mile to an old farmstead where he had equipment stored. He drove a farm truck to his nearby home, then was flown from his house to the Wichita hospital.
Lost 'em in the dust Ladner said the natural resource officer was headed to meet Macy at 6:18 p.m. when he saw Macy's car headed away from his house, following a red pickup truck. The officer turned around and followed the car and truck, but he lost sight of them in the dust. He stopped about two miles from the stabbing site when he saw Macy's car, abandoned in the road.
"Don't ask me why they drove the car two miles away and then abandoned it," Dunn said. Dunn said officers talked to another farmer who saw the poachers within a couple of miles of the stabbing site earlier Sunday afternoon.
"He stopped to see what they were doing, and they said they were just riding around," Dunn said. Ladner said the poachers left behind a male deer with antlers that had an inside span of more than 17 inches — large enough to make the poaching a felony crime. Ladner didn't know whether the buck had a large enough rack to be considered a trophy.
Late October through early December is the prime season for deer poaching because it's rutting season, and deer are more vulnerable and because the deer haven't yet shed their antlers, Ladner said. "It used to be, 25 years ago, that the poachers were after the meat," Ladner said. "Now, the antler market is a very lucrative business." He said a top-end rack could sell for as much as $20,000.
But, "that's not your typical rack," Ladner said. "That's very top end." Do not approach them Ladner said the department often gets calls from landowners about poachers. Department officials ask that witnesses get as much information as they can — a description of the people involved, a description of their vehicle and a tag number, if possible, and a description of what they're doing.
"We have to know what the violation is — whether they're shooting at night with a spotlight, or shooting out of season," Ladner said.
It's helpful to call 911 as quickly as possible, Ladner said, so a natural resource officer or sheriff's deputy can catch the poachers.
But Ladner said citizens should never confront poachers. As demonstrated by Macy's injuries, confronting poachers can be dangerous.
"These people already are committing illegal acts," Ladner said. "If they're willing to do those kinds of things openly, then they are probably the kind of people that I would consider dangerous."
Damn, what a shame.

Once upon a time, long long ago, there was a beautiful Victorian house in a small, romantic little town. It was situated at number 5 Ryneveld Street - a place we now call home.
When conceptualizing our new restaurant, we became aware of the special qualities of the number five. Five is the number of harmony and balance. Five is the number of perfection. Five is the number of senses in the human body - touch, taste, smell, hearing and sight. Five is the number of basic tastes - sweet, sour, salt, bitter and umami.
Our restaurant comprises five rooms namely the dining room, study, library, bedroom and radio lounge.
We welcome you to 5 Ryneveld, where we will provide you with an exciting dining experience, stimulating your five senses by exploring the five basic tastes.
5 Ryneveld is a cute and quirky meeting place for those embracing a playful and sophisticated atmosphere. It will be shaped by the friends, family and other warm-hearted people who meet, eat and play there.
Welcome home...welcome to 5 Ryneveld.

Little Fockers (2010)
Little Fockers Synopsis
The test of wills between Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) and Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) escalates to new heights of comedy in the third installment of the blockbuster series -- Little Fockers. Laura Dern, Jessica Alba and Harvey Keitel join the returning all-star cast for a new chapter of the worldwide hit franchise.
It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam (Polo) and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get "in" with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack. After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, however, Jack's suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back.
When Greg and Pam's entire clan -- including Pam's lovelorn ex, Kevin (Owen Wilson) -- descends for the twins' birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he's fully capable as the man of the house. But with all the misunderstandings, spying and covert missions, will Greg pass Jack's final test and become the family's next patriarch...or will the circle of trust be broken for good?

NEW PORT RICHEY, Florida - Division of Forestry officials are warning drivers in Pasco County that they could be experiencing smoky conditions during the Wednesday morning commute.
FDOT has already posted at least two signs along State Road 52 to caution drivers. It's expected the smoke could be the worst at 5:00 a.m. or 6:00 a.m. in the morning.
It's all because a 220-acre brush fire burning near the Starkey Well Field in the Moon Lake Estates area. The fire, which officials believe someone started Monday, burned 50 acres then.
On Tuesday, crews built fire lines and set a back burn to help keep flames away from homes. Some small flames were still burning in wooded areas behind houses. In some cases, forestry officials say the burn lines are about 60 feet away from some homes along Evergreen Street.
Crews said they will continue to monitor the fire.

Brett McMurphy @McMurphyCBS College football sources told @CBSSports there's "strong support" to increase bowl eligibility to 7 wins in 2014
I hope so. Means less bowls I'd assume, and hopefully less bad teams. We just need to win more, and hopefully we are headed there.
Then they better decrease the number of bowls 25%.
With so many bowl slots, will there be enough eligible teams with a 12 game schedule?
Good, too many bowls.
Kansas wears Adidas.
This would be the perfect time for the Big XII to go to 12 teams and get that extra non conference game.
Tough call. With all the momentum I'd think 7 wins is a good possibility most years here. I also know that we wouldn't be to a bowl game yet under CPR with 7 needed wins, and I think 2 out of 3 years is pretty good imo.

The Big 12 wont ever be going back to 8 conference games. Never.
This won't change the number of bowls.

Brett McMurphy @McMurphyCBS I was told 5-12 fewer bowls RT @wvlawgeek: @McMurphyCBS @CBSSports So their would be 6 less bowls played?

Why not if they go back to 12?
This is very important:

And you know this how?
This would be horrible for programs like ISU that are often on the edge for bowl contention as it is.
I dont see why there'd be such a push for this. You dont have to watch the game if you dont want to. The only teams that are going to benefit are the elites that will benefit from their opponents getting less exposure, and minor conference teams that got to more wins (but mightve gotten left out) because they played cake schedules.

All about programming. Who would watch ISU or Texas or OSU play the sisters of the poor?

Ill let my friend Puff Daddy explain it to you in Laymans terms...

In summary, that 9th conference game is very attractive to Fox and ESPN/ABC. They would rather broadcast a Big 12 match up as opposed to a KSU/Tulsa match up. Money talks, and 9 games are here to stay.

"My Father always considered a walk in the mountains as the equivalent of church going."
Aldous Huxley
Lot's of great info on this thread from previous posts. I myself have switched to using AquaMira for almost all of my backcountry trips later in the season in areas where I know I'll have regular clear water sources. It does take some time, but 30 minutes always seems to fly by for me in the backcountry. If you're looking to cut ounces from your pack, it's one of the best options in my opinion. A full two bottle set (it's a 2 part system that will treat up to 30 gallons) of AquaMira is only 2.8 ounces compared to 14.6 ounces for the Katadyn Pro Hiker (these are the weights I recorded from my Pelouze digital scale). And to me the taste is unrecognizable. I still use the Katadyn Pro-Hiker during early season when there's runoff or if I'm unfamiliar with the water sources in the area since the filter is nice to have for murky or muddy water. Either way, you can't go wrong. I use the liquid AquaMira (haven't tried the tablets yet).
I also am 100% Aquamira liquid. Never been sick and I think it improves the taste of the water. We always fill up our bottles at night or in the morning...and fill back up throughout the day before you run out of water. I am in CO, so I know it is different for everyone, and we hunt a valley with lots of springs.
I go with the Sawyer Squeeze, it is light and compact but it takes some time and your hands get wet. I never had a problem with it freezing but the heat off my back (while it is in the pack) probably helps. The bladder(s) can also be used for extra water storage which has come in handy.
I'd like to hear from somebody that "has gotten the bug" from drinking bad water while out in the backcountry. Does it come on fast or is it one of those get sick after you get back home?
I haven't gotten it myself, but here is what the CDC says:
Incubation takes 1 - 3 weeks. Most folks are out of the woods (so to speak) when it hits them.
Giardia sounds very bad. But, I have drank from a stream only after I watched another person who drinks from that same stream every year without any problems. If it's been tried and tested I will probably drink the water if it is flowing good. If I am unsure I use the Iodine tablets...
1)Very inexpensive way to cut weight
2)saves a lot of space
3)I don't mind the taste, and usually add Emergen-C powder
Just a thought: To deal with the wait, I'd try to replenish my supply of water before I have run completely out even though that means carrying some extra weight I like to drink a lot so Im willing to lug extra water to be safe. I guess instead of carrying the weight of a filter carry that extra weight in water and haul similar weight? that's a lot of waits/weights haha
There is not much better then drinking from a high mountain stream. I don't think I could get myself to put some kind of tablet in the water, that's just me though. If I have to drink out of a pond or something, maybe, but a stream, I am taking the chance. Everything I have read suggests that it is very unlikely to get something and I have never gotten anything.
Just think about all of those guys 20-70+ years ago, our fathers and grandfathers. They never put tablets in water, they didn't filter it either. I carry a filter for when something looks iffy.
I filter everything with my hiker pro, if you dont have a treatment system you better get the water from the source and pray..I actually pray when using a filter too! Technically viruses cannot be filtered, but a .2 micron filter of the hiker pro (or other similar size filters) works pretty good. The theory is viruses attach themselves to larger particles and is therefore filtered through your filter.
The "bug" usually affects you when you get home, but if you get it while in the backcountry you are in a heap of trouble. I seen someone get carried out of the Appalachian Mountains that had it, dehydration was a understatement.
Back in 2007 my hunting partner and I were packing in around 6 miles into the wilderness out of the Cinnabar Basin, north of Gardner MT, for an archery elk hunt. We had hunted the area before and we always drank right out of a stream that was about 2 miles in. Just like in the past we drank from the stream, only this time something wasn't right. By nightfall I had a raging temp, chills, vomiting, diareaha, and a splitting headache. We hastily made a camp in less than ideal terrain and I proceeded to eat every single medication in both of our first aid packs. I have never in my life thought that an illness in the backcountry was going to come so close to killing me. We woke up the next morning and my temp had broke but I still wasn't feeling to well. We hunted the morning and then decided we needed to head out. To top it all off we ran into a young griz at 10 yds on the hike out. Learned a lot of lessons on that particular hunt, or I guess you could say hike since it only lasted less than 24 hours.
