It will be chaos he says. No kidding.
The plan would be to open camp and run free agency for the first two weeks, during camp, and to give the players, coaches, and agents a rundown of the agreement on the fly.
Hail the almighty dollar! Why give any thought to the madness that will ensue. And forget about how coaches and gms will unintentionally break the rules. And how agents won't understand the rules of the road as they shop their players. And how the "games" (if you can call them that) will be nothing more than a disorganized scrimmage - for which the fans will be expected to pay full price!!
Assuming they make it back, the first game I'll actually watch won't be for 4 weeks, that is after the regular season starts.

Because they've laid out a plan that makes no sense and puts greed first, and forgets about the product they'll put out there. As a fan, why should we watch this crap?
As a football fan, I want to (and will) watch games during the regular season, but I have no interest in watching them practice - and frankly can't understand why anyone else would, either. But that's my opinion.
I'll watch every game I can. I love football I truly am a fanatic. I will watch preseason, regular season and any other season they want to play. I also find it hard to believe you actually will not watch any game until the regular season. (Wink, wink)
In fact I want them to come up with a year around Farm system that would start just after the SB and last about 6 months just before the NFL season starts so I can get my fix 365 days a year.(Rookie and UDFA developmental training)
Why not help me figure that out rather than try and convince me to not watch Preseason games.
>> "Because they've laid out a plan that makes no sense and puts greed first.."
>> Welcome to America!
And isn't that a microcosm of what is happening in this country right now? I look across the political landscape and see the same thing. I agree it is america, but I don't have to like it.
I would have agreed a few years ago. Who cares - its sport, and they can do what they want, after all.
But I've become more jaded over the years, I suppose.
And here's to hoping - praying, perhaps - that out elected officials actually do what's in the best interests of "we, the people" rather than themselves!

The gentle, silken harmonies of the Everly Brothers were one of the musical treasures of the 1950s and a major influence on the music of the 1960s. The duo of Don and Phil Everly drew upon Appalachian folk, bluegrass and country to craft a dreamy, innocent style of rock and roll. Their father, Ike Everly, was an accomplished guitarist. He and his wife Margaret had their sons performing regularly on their live radio show before they had reached their teens. With Don taking the melody and Phil harmonizing above him, the Everlys sang with flawless precision. Over the decades, the Everlys' close-harmony style served to influence the likes of the Beatles, the Hollies, Simon and Garfunkel and the Byrds. The Everly Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.
All Everly Brothers artifacts are from the collection of Don, Phil and Margaret Everly.
Margaret Everly bought these custom tap shoes for her sons with shoe ration stamps during World War II. The brothers took tap lessons at Ideal Dancing School in Chicago.view artifact
These report cards are from sixth and seventh grade. Everly scored mostly A's and B's both years.view artifact
This was Everly's first attempt at songwriting. He wrote these lyrics while he was home from school with the flu. He was about nine years old.view artifact
"Wake Up Little Susie" was a Number One hit for the Everly Brothersview artifact

Tis the season for a slew of haunted houses to open, and for a fundraiser at Salt Lake Acting Company featuring the work and wit of Nora Ephron.
LOVE, LOSS, AND WHAT I WORE, SALT LAKE ACTING COMPANY, Thursday-Sept. 30, times vary, $30
This should be a treat. The Salt Lake Acting Company is teaming up with the Salt Lake City Junior League for a fundraiser in support of that organization's "Women Helping Women" program, which helps women transitioning into the workforce from a variety of trying circumstances. The show Love, Loss, and What I Wore was co-written by Nora Ephron and her daughter Delia, and it tracks the stories of five women who reflect on their clothes and how their wardrobes were part of the important moments of their lives. Playing the five parts is a rotating cast of local lady luminaries, so depending on what night you head to SLAC, you might find a local newcaster, a politician, a DJ or a businesswoman taking part.
NIGHTMARE ON 13TH ZOMBIE PARTY, Friday-Nov. 1, 7:30 p.m., $20
I was an Air Force brat, and I moved all around the country growing up. And I can definitely say I've never run across a state with a bigger obsession with Halloween and haunted houses than Utah. When I was new to the state as a high school kid, I was introduced to the phenomena by friends who would pile us all into a car for a drive to various SLC scare spots. Little did I know that people kept right on going to haunted houses well past their days of using them as an excuse to get extra-close to a date. Nightmare on 13th, on the corner of 300 West and 1300 South, has been around for years, and they are opening for their Halloween season this weekend with a Zombie Party and the introduction of three new "nightmares" taking over the haunted house this year: NetherBeast, Cirque du Fear, and Zombie Apocalypse. From my past experience, expect evil clowns, familiar faces like Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees, and other assorted silliness geared for maximum frights per minute. For this weekend's Zombie Party, costumes are encourages, but I suppose that goes without saying.

The Biology BA & BS Program | Prospective Students | Academic Requirements & Concentrations | Student Learning Outcomes | Minor in Biology | Courses | Faculty | Facilities | Internships | Research | Senior Projects
The Biology BA and BS Program
Discover the Excitement
Biology is an area of explosive scientific, intellectual, and technological advances. Attention is focusing on the origin and evolution of living organisms (even their possible existence on other planets), the molecular mechanics of heredity, the processes of disease and immunity, the ecological balance among life forms, the effect of synthetic chemicals on molecular functions of the cell, the biological basis of behavior, and the extraordinary technologies for the creation of useful new characteristics in microorganisms, plants, and animals. The biology program at Purchase College embodies the excitement of the dramatic advances in this rapidly expanding field. Students actively participate in the life sciences, studying and pursuing research with faculty who are active in their fields.
The biology program at Purchase College may be pursued from a variety of perspectives, and our majors are well prepared for graduate school, medical school, teaching, and careers with high-tech industries. Biology majors should be aware that of all the natural sciences, biology is least able to stand alone as a discipline; mathematics, physics, and especially chemistry are important for a meaningful appreciation of life processes. In consultation with a faculty advisor, the student will expand upon this base by choosing advanced subjects related to particular objectives. Advanced courses are offered in seven concentrations.
Prepare for a Life, as Well as a Career
The study of biology is carried out in the context of the strong liberal arts emphasis of Purchase College, preparing students for life, as well as for a career. The core curriculum provides a solid grounding in the humanities, social sciences, and the arts. The presence on campus of conservatory programs in the performing and visual arts, the Performing Arts Center, and the Neuberger Museum of Art creates a vibrant cultural environment. To find out more about our campus, visit us!

ZF-11835: Conditional comments functionality missing from Zend_View_Helper_HeadMeta
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/… describes passing a $conditionalHttpEquiv parameter as a modifier to methods such as appendHttpEquiv. Although there are no code examples for what to pass for headMeta, there are examples in headScript which pass an array of the form ('conditional' => 'lt IE 7'), for example.
Zend_View_Helper_HeadMeta::itemToString() does nothing with a conditional key, whereas Zend_View_Helper_HeadScript::itemToString() treats 'conditional' as a special case and wraps the value in a javascript comment.
Attached patch which implements behavior matching that of {{Zend_View_Helper_HeadScript}}
I don't think we need the
&& !empty($item->modifiers['conditional'])
as the isset() will take care of that as well?
Just tested and you're right - we do need the !empty().
Patch looks good to me.
Fixed in trunk r24561 Merged to release-1.11 in r24562

Reviews for Makeover Strawberry Cake
"Very sweet and tasty! I used dairy free margarine in the icing and it would not set up. Next time i might try the butter-flavored Crisco and see how that does."
"Made this for Father's Day and got rave reviews! So moist and yummy. It's nice to have something other than chocolate and this totally hit the spot."
"Pretty, yummy and light. The cake has a very NATURAL strawberry flavor. I added some strawberry jam to make the frosting more spreadable, so could use a little more pureed strawberries in the frosting. This cake would be perfect for a girl's birthday party or Valentines Day. Definately a keeper."
"Great summer cake. Strawberry flavor is not overpowering. The berries are pureed so there are no chunks of berries in the cake. The taste reminded me of the Crunch Berries (cereal) I used to love when I was growing up!"
"I made this cake for the first time for a potluck and everyone loved it! I had mothers come up to me saying the cake was better than their grandmothers and mothers past on recipes. I know I will make this again, so easy and tastes great!"

I'm sure the tech guys will weed him out eventually..

Hello Gents,
Let me just explain what I think is really going on. Not facts, just my opinion.
1. Democrats see the Hispanics as being their next meal ticket, so they cater to them and offer all that this country has to give as long as their vote goes to the Donkeys.
2. Republicans say, "you are breaking the law by being here, and you need to get out"....
So, which message wins?
And the sad part is that 50% of america goes Democrat. Just read the posts of some of those folks here at Gunco...I do not get it. I do not take a side against what a man wants to believe. But I just do not understand what the Democrats and their folks believe in.
Sorry, Democrats. I do not understand.
This goes all the way to the top gentlemen, the very top, right to who in charge of the US...Michelle Obama!
All joking and kidding aside, I have to laugh about it or my pressure and temper will rise and I will get into trouble.
When you don't allow Vets, who put life and liberty on the line to defend us all, into the National Mall, close it down with goose stepping goons pushing them out and arresting them, and then let Illegal Alien, border invaders, criminals of the worst ilk waltz right on in there on a red carpet it makes me sick and my blood boil at the same time!
I hope those 8 vote seeking, illegal alien penis sucking congressmen arrested in a big show, blocking traffic "for the illegals" die spitting blood. I am beyond pissed.
I am unable to completely express my feelings on the matter. ;)

Many notable people in the Liberty Community have endorsed the Free State Project, and some are even signed up as Participants. If you know of an endorsement to add, let us know.
Doug Stanhope: The FSP Could Change All of Our Lives
"Once you become aware of how limited your own personal liberty has become and how quickly and effortlessly freedoms are taken away, the Free State Project stands out as one of few ideas that could produce tangible change in our lifetime. The vision of Christian gun enthusiasts buying hand-painted targets from pot-smoking artists, laughing together while they give the tax man the finger, is beautiful enough to make the move."
Also from his website (Note: Adult content ... "not for everyone"):
"[The FSP] could be the most important and actually do-able movement that could actually change all of our lives ..."
Doug Stanhope is a "raw", stand-up comedian, writer, producer, and co-host of Comedy Central's "The Man Show".
The Objectivist Center: The FSP Is a Laudable Goal
"This is a laudable goal and many Objectivists are taking part in the project. Any lover of liberty would wish the project to succeed. TOC will continue to offer the philosophical ammunition such fights for liberty ultimately depend on."
Richard Boddie: The FSP Is Proof that Libertarian Principles Work
"The Free State Project can realistically facilitate the final empirical proof that libertarian principles AND POLICIES can and do allow for greater personal freedom, individual liberty, abundance and harmony, for real! Not theory. No more incessant intramural arguing and debate. No further need to verbally defend against statist collectivists and other skeptics.
"Over years of local application of libertarian policies and generations of grassroots libertarianism in New Hampshire, which already has a unique and traditional hands-on bottom-up township type of governing, it can happen. New Hampshire's system of governance is the most compatible of any in the entire USA with such efforts as the Free State Project.
"All of this can allow for the future proofs of what works and what doesn't work, end any further serious debating on the subject of libertarian policies in governing, but most importantly, facilitate an environment for freedom in American again.
"THERE IS HOPE in these times of neo-fascism in DC."
Richard B. Boddie, Esq., Professor of Political Science at Coastline Community College, Orange County, California. LP Candidate for President 1992. President of The Motivators. Member of the Free State Project
John Stossel: The FSP Is a Good Model
John Stossel is host of the libertarian show, Stossel, on the Fox Business Network. In an episode from May of 2013, he highlighted the Free State Project.
Earlier, while still a correspondent with the ABC News show, Give Me a Break, he had this to say about the FSP:
"This week the New York Times did a benign front-page article on the Free State Project (the decision by some libertarians to move to New Hampshire) ... this coverage will be a nice shot in the arm for the Free State Project, and I hope, an opportunity for a more open discussion of liberty."
Eric Raymond: Libertarians Should Cheer on the FSP and Join It
"For the first time, I think I've seen a path that is both principled and practical. Not the whole path, but some firm steps that both accomplish good in themselves and open up great possibilities. And the best part is that it's a path most statists can't object to, one that uses the premises of the existing federal system to achieve a fair first test of libertarian ideas within that system. Even opponents of libertarianism, if they are fair-minded, should welcome this reality check. Libertarians should cheer it on and join it.
"Liberty in our lifetime? I think this might be how to get there."
Eric Raymond is an author and software guru.
Hubert Jongen: I Immediately Saw the FSP as a New Possibility
"For a long time I have been interested in 'free state' projects – from the time I spoke with Mike Oliver in Las Vegas about the MINERVA project! Since then there were many others, but most of them disappeared.
"Then I found out about the Free State Project. I immediately saw this as a new possibility, using existing legal procedures.
"I became immediately enthusiastic when my friend André Lichtschlag (publisher of the excellent German libertarian magazine eigentümlich frei) proposed starting a similar project within the European Union. Soon we formed a small group, the European Freestate Project.
"So I hope that there soon will be two Free States from which libertarians can choose, one in the USA and one in Europe!"
Hubert Jongen is Chairman of Libertarian International and of Libertarisch Centrun Netherlands.
Libertarian Party of New Jersey Supports the FSP
At its July 2003 General Meeting/picnic, the Libertarian Party of New Jersey passed a motion endorsing the FSP by a majority vote. It read:
"The New Jersey Libertarian Party endorses the Free State Project."
Robert Hull, Webmaster • Libertarian Party of NJ
Craig Benson Welcomes the FSP
From Volume I, Issue 4, July 2003 of The Quill: "Come on up; we'd love to have you!" Craig Benson is a businessman and Adjunct Lecturer at Babson College. He served as Governor of New Hampshire from 2003 to 2005.
Sunni Maravillosa: The FSP Is Focused on Accomplishing Greater Freedom
"I remember hearing about the Free State Project back when Jason Sorens was recruiting feedback for the idea. Having heard of plenty of other 'let's form our own group' schemes, I smiled, nodded, and pushed the delete key, and expected to hear maybe one or two more things about the project at most. I'm delighted to say that I was wrong...I've been to a number of libertarian-oriented conferences, and read about many more. I know how argumentative and emotionally invested in being right some individuals can be. One of the first, and ongoing, surprises of the Grand Western Conference was how pleasant everyone I spoke to was. Nothing seemed to be about ego; the presentations and private conversations alike seemed focused on accomplishing the goal of greater freedom."
Sunni Maravillosa writes about personal freedom. Her blog is Sunni and the Conspirators.
Claire Wolfe: The FSP Gives Me Optimism
"If I were to describe in one word what I brought home from the Grand Western Conference of the Free State Project 'optimism' would be it … [And] I'm a born pessimist and a made cynic. I simply don't do optimism."
Claire Wolfe is a libertarian author and self-described "professional troublemaker."

Poets find honey in the subject of bees, also worry about losing them
Bees have fascinated poets at least as far back as Virgil, both as remarkable creatures worthy of study and as metaphors for some aspect of human behavior.

Dongqian Lake, a water reservoir supplying the residents of Ningbo, requires regular dredging which results in a large quantity of by-product. The local authorities recognised an opportunity to use this by-product for the creation of a man-made island within the lake. The Ningbo Planning Bureau for Dongqian Lake Tourist and Holiday Resort invited a select group of consultants to provide conceptual proposals for the development of an island precinct. The HASSELL concept won the competition. A feasibility study was undertaken and the development of the proposal is now underway.

"2013 taxes are due on Nov. 30, but many people don't want to pay a large lump sum in that month. So we have a way for them to make prepayments, the same amount over several months," said Corrie Forsling, Summit County Treasurer.
Homeowners used to have to mail checks into the county, but now the county can debit the amounts directly from their bank accounts.
"They can choose the amount that is debited," Forsling said. "It can be as little or as large as they would like it to be. We generally recommend one-tenth of the previous tax year's amount."
Homeowners then make nine prepayments toward their property taxes from January through September, after which they receive a bill for the final payment.
But homeowners don't need to be signed up with Easy Pay prior to January to begin making prepayments.
"They can sign up any time at all. If you sign up later in the year, you might make a larger payment per month," she said.
The program started in January 2012 with about 200 people signing up right out of the gate. Another 100 recently enrolled for the 2013 tax year.
Forsling said the dollar amounts for the interest the county receives is small, especially with the current low-interest rates.
"The main goal is to offer a service to taxpayers," Forsling said.
Homeowners can sign up for Easy Pay at www.summitcounty.org/treasurer .

As Whitney said, the children are our future. And thanks to one Florida teen, the future will be a safer place for women of all ages.
The teen, Brittany Wenger, won the annual Google Science Fair for creating a computer "brain" that can diagnose breast cancer, NBC News reports.
"This is really important because currently the least invasive form of biopsy is actually the least conclusive, so a lot of doctors can't use them," Wenger, 17, told the network. "Early detection is really important. And that is what I'm trying to do with my neural network."
Wenger won $50,000 in scholarships, an internship and a trip to the Galapagos Islands. She hopes to see her network in hospitals, she told NBC, and to adapt it for other forms of cancer and medical problems.
We can't wait to see what she comes up with in college.

I have a card #219 of Courtney UpShaw from 2012 Panini Prestige Football in a suit but he is not holding up a jersey. Is this the actual shortprint?
Yes - you have the Sp version. I will update my page to include that they may not all be holding up the jersey. Nice card!
I acquired 3 1999 Topps Football Mystery Chrome cards. All the mystery chrome cards on eBay have a single picture on one side and four pictures on the other. the ones that I have have the four pictures on one side and is black on the other. Do you know anything about these.
Thank you for the e-mail. I believe that yours still have the original 'mystery' coating still on them ... which off the top of my head was like a black film over one side of the card. When you peel it off, it reveals one of the four players on the back.
I have been going crazy trying to find an official answer to whether Topps actually printed 2012 Topps Series 2 Gold sparkle card #391 - Barajas. I know they fixed it for the base set, but do you happen to know if they did the same for the gold sparkle base set? Thanks
I did some looking around and asked someone who I knew opened a bunch of this stuff. No gold sparkle for Barajas #391 in 2012 Topps Series 2 Baseball. Hope that puts your mind at ease :)
Can this card fairly be considered an error? He never even came close to signing with the Bucs. He tweeted that he was signing with the Bucs and then 5 hours signed with the Broncos. Bowman, in its rush to get the product out, must have never noticed?
Un-corrected error I guess is the actual term some people use - when they don't issue another card with Broncos on it. Interesting - could be they got it off twitter. Broncos and Bucs might be right next to each other on the alphabetical chart and I could see something getting messed up there, I'm not sure - but I haven't heard too many positive things about 2012 Bowman Football.
I recently bought a couple of packs and got a blue border auto of Robert Griffin III. I can't seem to find one listed anywhere. How rare are these and about how much would this be worth. Thanks.
It's a nice card and I do know they are real hard to get. At least 5x as hard as the red versions. One on July 25, 2012 sold on eBay for $88. It's probably in the $80-120 range for the most part (as of July 2012)
I have been collecting the 2012 TOPPS series one and two. I opened a jumbo pack of the series two and in with the special cards part i got a Gio Gonzalez card. On the back the card has the 519 number on it but on the front it is a 1/1 and has a silver boarder. I am trying to find anything on this card but haven't found anything. Just curious if it is a card worth anything or if it is just more nothing too special card.
I believe what you have is the Platinum Parallel - each card in the base set has a platinum parallel. They are obviously very rare cards.
I have a Dwayne Wade 10-11 donruss production line game used card #7/10. I was wondering the value of this card. Its in mint condition.
That's a very nice card, a similar one sold (with a nice patch) for $77 and the one pictured here sold for $21.50 on September 11, 2012. Yours should be in the same ball-park. With this card, the better the patch, and maybe selling during basketball season - the more it will be worth. Hope that helps.
Hi I have a question. I am going to the National Sports Collectors Convention Friday and Saturday and this is my first one and was wondering if this is a cash only event or how do you go about purchasing the more expensive items?
Thanks for the question, a few places have options, including Blowout Cards, Atlanta Cards - and a few others, but it's mainly a straight cash environment. The auction houses with big-tickets items should be able to accept other forms of payment as well. If it's a high 4 or 5 figure buy, I'm sure most booths will have options for you to pay securely with a credit card.
I purchased a 2012 Topps Tribute hobby box and I pulled a Albert Pujols Superstar Swatches #2/2. I was looking through your checklist and I could not find this particular item. Could you help me out? I'm just trying to figure out how much its worth.
Answer:Hello! Congrats on getting such a nice card! I believe many of the parallels in that set - specifically the red versions - are #/rd to less then /10 as I have on my list. Is it a red background on the Pujols you have?
As far as value - a World Series jersey card #/2 from that set sold for around $90. The card pictured here sold for $143.50 on July 23, 2012. My guess would be your card would fall in that range. Hope that helps.
So i opened a retail box of 2012 sage hit cards the other day. I purchased them from target. Upon opening one of the packs it had a RG3 card in it with 10A on the back of the card. The card looks identical to the number 10 card except for the A next to the 10 on the back and also; on the front of the card instead of saying "10" it says "1-2". I did search eBay and few other places with no luck.. My first inclination was that it could be a short print. My second was that it was supposed to be auto card that never got signed. What a bummer if that is the case. Any information you might know will be extremely helpful!
|The 10A card is a variation. Probably a little bit more rare then the #10 card. On the front - WAS - stands for Washington and 1-2 stands for his draft position. (1st round #2 pick). Most people when buying them probably don't even notice the difference. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions. Best of luck with your collection!
I was just wondering why there is no Donald Driver card made? I've been spending lots of money on the cards im not a happy customer!
Hello, I wish I had a good answer for you - given that Donald Driver is one of the most popular players in the game - I'd think they would always want to make lots of cards for him. Maybe as the season goes along they will start making more cards. Maybe let some of the people know at Upper Deck, Topps and Panini you'd like to see more of Driver on social media.
I would love to start my own online card business. I very very little capital, and not enough of my own personal cards to start a true inventory. My thought was to go on places like eBay and buy wholesale lots of cards from people either moving on or just trying to make money. I figured this would be a much cheaper way to acquire a ton of cards at a low price and still be able to make a little money off of them. Do you have any experience doing this, or any advice going forward?
There are quite a few ways you could go about it. I like the idea of buying lot's and re-selling them. I do that quite often myself - more for fun. Although I think one could work their way up to making good money.
I was looking at the list for the 2012 Topps chrome. I noticed that the odds for the parallels have retail pack odds and hobby pack odds. What is the difference between the two, and where can I find the different types of packs?
Thanks for the question. Here is the breakdown.
Sometimes there are less cards in retail packs compared to hobby packs. Usually it's easier to get autographs and such out of hobby packs. That is why hobby packs and boxes are also more expensive then packs and boxes at Target and WalMart.
I listed to your Fleer Retro podcast on itunes and I thought I would give my two cents on selling on Ebay full time.
Thank you so much for this insight, I'm not sure if you listened to podcast #106 yet but I basically tried to give out this advice. I remember the days when fixed price was a different fee structure ... but certainly now with eBay making it 'free' to list the fixed price is the way to go.

That's right! Nintendo won an Emmy! But why did it win an Emmy? The answer is simple, my friend. They won it for their invention of the plus shaped directions pad. it was a "technological achievement" that "radically changed how people interact with their video games and, by extension, their televisions." Nintendo was awarded the Emmy during the Technological & Engineering Emmy Awards, which occurred in Las Vegas.
The conventional D-Pad was introduced in 1985. It replaced the common joystick and was soon found on ever game controller.
"Nintendo has long been a pioneer in the way that people interact with their games," said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "Our commitment to pushing the envelope continues today with our motion-sensitive Wii Remote controllers, which again rewrite the rules. We are grateful for this award and thank the academy for the honor."

Kilian Jornet : "Cuatro años, las cumbres de mi vida y un sueño."
Summits of My Life is KilianJornets personal project, in which he will try to set ascent and descent records for the most important mountains on the planet, and is planned to culminate with the record attempt on the Mount Everest.
The project is closely linked to certain values and to a purist and minimalist way of understanding mountains. The Project will be recorded in different films, which will show the experiences of each year.

Una travesía de retos y emociones para coronar un sueño. El intento de batir el récord de ascenso y de descenso de la montaña más alta del planeta. Un viaje de ilusiones con un objetivo ambicioso y especial a la vez. Superar el récord: 20:24 h
This is clearly a sports project. Even so, the records should only be important while we run; once we have reached the bottom they must disappear. That's why the project not only aims to break a few records and climb summits quickly with very little gear. It also aims to transmit values.
In this open project I am going to be surrounded by friends and relatives who will accompany me along the way. We're not looking for the best mountaineers, the fastest or the best organised. They'll be friends, training and adventure companions, who will share every experience with me.
You don't need a lot of material means to do things that you find fulfilling. The simpler and more personal it is the greater the value we transmit. We will try to lay ourselves bare before nature, with just the essential gear, in order to feel face to face with the mountain, without intermediaries.
I want to show that we are a part of this world, neither less nor more important, but complementary. We will be the most silent on the mountain, so that our steps are not noticed and we will endeavour to be as environmentally friendly and economical as possible.
In the end we comprehend that the records are not the dream but the tracks that take you to the summit, and that failure is not not being able to make it the top of the mountain or getting there a few minutes later but not being able to take this road.
We are not runners, nor mountain climbers, nor skiers, not even sportsmen. We are people
June 16th, 2012It's May 16th on the calendar and according to my watch it's one in the morning. Today we are going to try to complete a route that will take us across the Mont Blanc range from east to west with skis, from Champex to Contamines. It is the first time it is being attempted. From Contamines, we started out running towards Tré la Tête, with Nico Mermoud and Anna Frost, who came to accompany us on this first part of the crossing. One hour later we reached the glacier, and were already with our skis on.
June 17th, 2012We started out again at 5 in the morning advancing at great speed along the glacier and ascending towards Col Des droites. When we arrived we could see the last obstacle of the crossing, the Aguille de Argentiere which was there right in front of us. We began opening a track along the ridge from Courtes, with some frozen stretches which we passed with the ice axe. The NNE des Courtes was in fantastic condition with snow all the way along.
Courmayeur-Val Veni: 40'
Val Veni - Ref Monzino: 1hr 30-50'
Monzino-Eccles: 3hrs 30-2hrs
Eccles-Mont Blanc: 6hrs 17-2hrs 47 (5' stop summit)
Mont Blanc - Gouter: 6hrs 50 -27'
Gouter-Houches: 8hrs 15 -1hr 25
Houches-Chamonix: 8hrs 42'57'' - 27'
Mathéo and I synchronised our watches, switched on the stopwatch and gave each other five for luck before starting to run. It was 4:50 am, and it wasn't cold in the church square in Chamonix. We were in shorts and thermal T-shirts, but nerves and excitement probably did not let us think about anything other than the challenge ahead. Mont Blanc, as majestic as ever, was just waking up and, from the square, we could spot the headlamps of those who had spent the night at the mountain refuge and were now preparing to reach the summit.
We are ascending well, within the estimated time. Upon arriving at the crack of Grands Mulet, we rope together for safety reasons as large amounts of snow have accumulated there this year. Halfway up, we spot Seb and Vivien, who have come to give us support and to film us. The sun is barely rising and the scenery is breathtaking. We are both using sticks to help us to climb and move faster. The marks we gouged into the ground a few days ago have lasted, and we follow them, so we can move fast and carry on with the ascent.
In the last stretch of the route, the headlamps we spotted from below become groups of people who are about to do the same as us: crown the summit of Mont Blanc. Once at the top, Mathéo and I stop for a few seconds, we both look at each other and feel the same: after many days of planning, preparation and enthusiasm, we have reached the halfway point of this adventure. We left Chamonix just 3h:30 ago. With no more time to think, we start to descend.
Mathéo and I slip and slide and manage to go down quickly. These are moments of pure bliss, laughing with Seb and Vivien who are filming us mounted on a pair of skis. Half way down the descent, we rope together again but still go down rather quickly, probably because we know all the details of this route as we have done it plenty of times before.When it seems that the challenge is at our fingertips, we make a bad move and, unfortunately, Mathéo falls down, pulled by the rope which holds us together. At first we panic, but soon we see he's OK. Although he continues to run, a few minutes later I get a signal from him telling me we cannot finish our adventure together. It is a hard moment, very emotional but hard: we so wanted to do the climb together and it is always difficult to fulfil a dream on your own. But Mathéo asks me to finish for both of us. We hug each other and off I run. The descent is fast but Mathéo is no longer there. We cannot laugh together when we trip over the rope or urge each another on. I get to Chamonix at 9:22, just 4:57 minutes after I set out. Yes, I've broken the record but it's left a bad taste in my mouth because Mathéo is not here and I know he would have liked us to stop the stopwatch together.
It feels strange to head for the mountains after a post-lunch nap. But that's what we did on August 21st, when we decided to attempt the record on Mount Cervino. We set out at 3pm as there was a good chance of there being ice in the morning and this could have held me up as well as putting me at risk. Mount Cervino is a special and very distinctive mountain, and it is particularly crowded in August. By departing at 3pm, we avoided many of those who usually climb up in the morning, as there are roped sections where only one person can pass at a time.
The sky was very blue that day and there wasn't a cloud to be seen. And there I was, just about to attempt one of the greatest challenges of my life. Italian Bruno Brunod, to my mind one of the greatest runners of all time and someone who has inspired me for years, held the existing record. Mount Cervino! What can I say about this magical mountain? As a child, I had had a poster of it on my bedroom wall and I had dreamed about it, but I had never imagined I would be here, admiring its beauty and ready for this challenge, some years later.
We had decided to attempt the record via the same route Bruno had followed in 1995, the classic route along the Lion Ridge. It is divided into three parts. The first stretch is mostly along mountain paths and as it was so similar to a trail running circuit I was able to run quickly, just like in any trail running race. The second stretch is more technical, and you have to be more careful as there is snow in places. Finally, the last 1,000m consists of 3rd and 4th grade climbing sections with fixed ropes, where, rather than traditional climbing, ascent is a matter of climbing up those ropes as fast as possible. I felt good during the climb. I had already climbed Mount Cervino on four previous occasions, like a hamster that's repeating the same exercises on the training wheel over and over again, so as to memorize every detail, every path and step, all in preparation for the great day. When I was about to reach the top I realized my training had worked, as I had climbed much faster than the other occasions. At 16:56, almost two hours after leaving Cervinia, I reached the summit. I could only stay up there for a few seconds, but I felt overwhelmed with emotion.
The descent was also a multitude of emotions. There was no need for me to take any risks, and I could use the time gained during the ascent and take my time going down, enjoying every step, feeling every muscle in my body tensing, enjoying the day, the people I ran past and those cheering me on and encouraging me.
Shortly before reaching Cervinia, Bruno came up to me and ran alongside me until the end. He kept saying, "I told you so, Kilian, I told you so! 2'52! ". That's because the night before, Bruno had assured me that I would do it in a time of 2'52. I had jokingly replied that it was impossible that he could know me so well. That last stretch was amazing. It was undoubtedly one of the most exciting moments I have ever experienced. I cannot express in words what it was like to run alongside my hero and share his kindness and humility.
I reached Cervinia 2'52 hours after setting out, just as Bruno had predicted. It turned out that he knew me better than I thought.

Summits of My Life & SOS Himalaya
"Our experience in Nepal made us realise that we wanted to continue to help the people of Langtang who had lost everything (Kilian Jornet)
This was what led Summits of My Life to embark on a challenge in solidarity with these people and to link up with the NGO SOS Himalaya in order to contribute to the rebuilding of the Langtang valley.
Last April's earthquake caused serious damage in the Langtang valley. The village of Langtang was completely buried after the shocks showered it with snow, ice and rocks as a result of the huge build-up of snow during an especially hard winter.
Furthermore, the aftershocks serious damaged nearby villages. The few who survived the catastrophe were evacuated to a refugee camp in Kathmandu and, although some have returned to the valley, their houses were destroyed and they are living in temporary accommodation. Summits of My Life and SOS Himalaya are leading a campaign to raise funding to rebuild 116 houses for the families who are homeless and wish to return to the valley.
The Langtang valley inhabitants have organised a committee (http://www.langtangreconstruction.com/) to coordinate donations from international organisations and invest them in rebuilding in the valley. The money collected by Summits of My Life and SOS Himalaya will be spent on sheeting for roofs and plywood for roofing and flooring. It which will be added to donations from other organisations for rebuilding the 116 houses.
Since December, Summits of My Life has organised several activities in order to raise the necessary funding.
What is SOS Himalaya
S.O.S. Himalaya is the NGO founded set up in memory of Inaki Ochoa de Olza Seguín, the himalayan alpinist killed in Annapurna in 2008. The NGO supports various development projects throughout the himalayas. For more info see soshimalaya.org

Summer is here, bringing with it longer days, warmer temperatures…and mosquitoes. It's prime time to enjoy life in your backyard. Unlike past summers, however, mosquitoes may cause you and your family far more trouble than the occasional itch. Now they may carry the dangerous West Nile Virus.
A mosquito-free backyard means that you can enjoy dinner outside in the peaceful area you created, or watch the moon rise without constantly slapping and swatting. While eliminating all mosquitoes is not possible, there are steps you can take to minimize their interference with your fun and greatly reduce the possibility of your exposure to the diseases they may carry.
Removal or reduction of larval mosquito habitats typically is the most effective and economical long-term method of mosquito control. Repellents do help reduce the incidence of bites, but it is far more efficient and personally comfortable to eliminate mosquito populations before they hatch and launch their attack.
Reduce their natural habitat
Water is the key ingredient to mosquito life. Adult mosquitoes lay their eggs anywhere they can find still water. Within 48 hours the eggs begin to hatch, and then, depending primarily upon temperature, the larvae evolve into adults within another 4 to 31 days.
You can significantly reduce the number of mosquitoes in your yard by scouting for breeding places and eliminating them. For example, remove old tires or buckets where rainwater can collect, and clean out clogged rain gutters. If you have a pond, add a feature such as a
fountain, or
aerator. These options will not only enhance its beauty, but will also prevent it from becoming a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
It also helps to keep your yard free of areas where adult mosquitoes might nest during the day. Clear off brush and debris that hold moisture and provide shade from the sun.
mosquito control products in your pond
Insecticides can be very effective in your pond.
Mosquito Dunks,
Quick-Kill Mosquito Bits, and
Mosquito Larvicide & Repellent Granules have all been proven safe. They will not harm plants or fish, but they will help eradicate mosquito larvae.
Rely on the help of natural predators
Mosquitoes are an important food source for many bird, reptile, amphibian, fish and other animals in the food chain. You can enlist their help:
Try an
insect trap
Devices utilizing natural attractants can reduce large numbers of mosquitoes, especially when used regularly. The SonicWeb Insect Trap, for example, attracts mosquitoes and other low-flying insects - over an entire acre - through a combination of low frequency vibrations, scents, and heat.
Whichever control methods you utilize, remember that the mosquito lifecycle is about four weeks. If you want to make a dent in their populations, you need to utilize control methods on a regular basis. The more you stick to your program, the more effective it will become.

Last updated on May 30, 2012
Jay Udwadia spent eight years as Fresno State's men's tennis coach after taking over for the Bulldogs in November 2004.
At Fresno State, Udwadia instilled a "work-hard, no excuses attitude," that has created excellence on the tennis courts and in the classroom for his teams. The Bulldogs became a team that is mentally prepared and physically conditioned for their opponents and the rigors of college life. Udwadia's work ethic and detailed attention to conditioning was an integral part of his team's success athletically and academically.
Udwadia and the Bulldogs made tremendous strides in eight years. Udwadia led the Bulldogs from a 10-11 record in his first year to six straight winning seasons from 2006-12. In six of the last seven years, Udwadia has led the Bulldogs to the Western Athletic Conference title match and a national ranking as high as No. 14 in 2012. The `Dogs won back-to-back WAC Regular Season Championship Title and the WAC Tournament Title in 2011 and 2012.
In 2012, Udwadia was named WAC Coach of the Year for the second consecutive year and ITA Northwest Region Coach of the Year. There were many exciting moments throughout the extraordinary season for the `Dogs against top-ranked foes. For the first time in program history the Bulldogs defeated Stanford, 4-3, which catapulted the `Dogs to No. 14 in the national rankings. It marked the team's highest national ranking in 12 years when the Bulldogs were ranked 12th in the nation in 2000.
2012 also brought more honors for the team. Sophomore Francis Alcantara was named ITA Northwest region Player to Watch and senior Remi Boutillier earned Senior of the Year for the ITA Northwest region. Boutillier was also named Fresno State's Male Bulldog of the Year.
In 2012, the `Dogs made their third-straight and 13th overall NCAA Tournament appearance against USD. The Bulldogs fell to the Toreros, 4-0, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
In 2011, Udwadia was named WAC Coach of the Year. The `Dogs won the WAC Regular Season Title and the WAC Tournament Title and defeated No. 23 Minnesota in the 1st round of the NCAA tournament before falling to No. 14 Cal 4-3 in the 2nd round. Under Udwadia, three Bulldogs have earned WAC Player of the Year, Remi Boutillier, Jakub Cech and Rudolf Siwy.
Boutillier was named the WAC Player of the Year in 2012. He was also named Fresno State's Male Bulldog of the Year, ITA Northwest region's Senior of the Year, Capital One Academic All-America men's at-large second-team and Capital One Academic All-District men's at-large first-team for his 3.87 GPA, WAC Athlete of the Week five times and honored as WAC Athlete of the Month for October and NovemberHe held a career singles record of 99-33 (one win from forth place on the school's all-time singles wins list and a career doubles record of 101-33 (possibly the highest record in program history). Boutiller became the first Bulldog since 2008 to make the Round of 16 at the ITA All-American Tournament, was the only player to compete from the Western Athletic Conference in the prestigious National Indoor Competition in October, clinched the Bulldogs' upset over No. 9 Stanford's by beating No. 37 Ryan Thacher, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (5). Boutiller earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Singles Championships, where he made it to the second round and the NCAA Doubles Championships where he fell in the first round with partner Francis Alcantara.
Cech was named the WAC Player of the Year in 2006 and won the prestigious Intercollegiate Tennis Association Northwest Regional and participated in all three major championships of the college tennis season. Cech was the first Bulldog to qualify for the NCAA singles tournament since 2001 and reached a career-high of No. 26 in 2007. Siwy earned the WAC Player of the Year honor in 2008. Siwy was nationally ranked as high as No. 32 and earned an invite to the 2009 NCAA Singles Tournament, where he made it to the second round.
Udwadia guided 12 singles players and 11 doubles tandems to All-WAC honors. Udwadia also vaulted six of his players into the regional top-30 rankings in past seasons. In the Udwadia era, Fresno State was very tough at home in the Wathen Tennis Center. The Bulldogs are 78-14 on their home courts since 2005, with an impeccable 11-1 record in 2010. Since Udwadia took over, the `Dogs have been ranked Top-50 in the ITA National Rankings in six seasons, and in 2012 were ranked as high as 14.
In 2010, the Bulldogs earned a spot in the "Sweet Sixteen" of National Indoors by defeating No. 10 Texas A&M and No. 30 Rice. The Bulldogs continued to shine in 2010 by defeating No. 36 BYU to advance to the round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament, before falling to National Champions USC in a closely-contested 4-1 battle.
Udwadia has taught the Bulldogs to be disciplined in the classroom as well. Since Udwadia's arrival, the team has achieved a 3.0 or higher grade point average each year. In 2012 one player was named Capital One Academic All-America men's at-large second-team and Capital One Academic All-District men's at-large first-team for his 3.87 GPA. In 2011, the team attained a 3.4 GPA. Udwadia strives for academics to be a strong tradition in the men's tennis program. His teams typically have the highest team GPA on campus.
In 2010 and 2011, ten members of the team earned Academic All-WAC honors. Udwadia's players have earned a number of other academic awards, including the Fresno State Harold Haak Scholarship and academic all-district accolades from ESPN The Magazine. Udwadia coached the New York Buzz of the World Team Tennis league from 2008-2010. The WTT is a professional tennis league founded by tennis legend Billie Jean King. In 2008 he guided the Buzz to their first and only World Team Tennis title championship. During his time with WTT, Udwadia coached five time grand slam champion, Martina Hingis.
In addition, Udwadia coached the USTA Boys 18's National Team Event, representing the NorCal Section. He has also been instrumental in recruiting top-ranked Californians to Fresno State. Udwadia serves as the Chair of the ITA West Region and is also a member of the NCAA National Operating Committee. He also served as the Tournament Director for the Men's ITA All-American Tournament during the fall season.
Udwadia came to the Bulldogs from Drake, where he was named MVC Coach of the Year for his efforts. He recruited the 2004 Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Year, who also was an All-Conference honoree. In 2004, Udwadia led the team to the 2004 Missouri Valley Conference. Under Udwadia, Drake was very successful academically as three players were honored by the league for their academic achievements. Prior to Drake, Udwadia was the assistant coach at Northwestern for four seasons. While there, he helped lead the Wildcats to a fourth place finish in the Big Ten in 2002 along with a No. 45 national ranking. Northwestern participated in the NCAA Tournament in 2000 and `02 under Udwadia.
Before beginning his career as a college tennis coach, Udwadia spent two years on the ATP Tour, earning 26 ATP doubles points and capturing an ITF doubles title. He competed in tournaments run by the French Tennis Federation, and he played club tennis in Australia.
Udwadia was a four-year letterwinner in the highly-competitive SEC for the University of Arkansas and was team captain in his senior year. He helped lead the Razorbacks to three NCAA tournament appearances and a spot in the Top 25 of the national rankings. He graduated from Arkansas in 1997 with a bachelor's degree in sociology.
