How to get started in vintage rallying
(Note: Larry Edsall is off on a road trip, so he's turned over this space to Rich Taylor, automotive writer and vintage rally organizer, who shares his knowledge on how to get involved in vintage rallying.)
Until a few years ago, there were only two things to do with your vintage sports car once the restoration was finished: you could show it in a concours d'elegance or take it vintage racing.
Looking at old cars parked on a lawn quickly gets dull, while racing wheel-to-wheel sometimes gets too exciting! Racing is also a lot more fun for the driver than for his spouse who's hanging around yet another dusty, noisy track. What the world needs is a way for a couple to drive, enjoy and share their beloved vintage sports car with minimal risk.
Vintage rallies are the perfect solution. Old car owners get to foregather with other enthusiasts as they do at a concours, but also to drive their old cars without the risk inherent in racing. Vintage rallies require not only a driver, but a navigator to handle the timing and route instructions. In other words, this is a fun automotive activity that a couple can enjoy together.
It's the modern equivalent of the Grand Tour, except that the organizers have already figured out the prettiest roads, booked the nicest hotels, culled the wine list, brought a truck to carry everyone's luggage and hired professional mechanics to follow behind in case someone's car breaks down.
Most vintage events take their cue from the Mille Miglia Storica, a 1000-mile drive held in early-May that follows the route of the Mille Miglia, an annual open-road race from Brescia to Rome and back for sports cars that began in 1927 and was outlawed after the Marquis de Portago's fatal accident in 1957. Today's Mille Miglia Storica is restricted to cars that competed in the original race - sports/racing cars built between 1927 and 1957.
Events organized by our Vintage Rallies, Inc. are open to sports, racing and GT cars built 1975 or earlier, plus there are classes for late-model exotics. This allows newer cars like Porsches, Ferraris and Maseratis to mingle with classic machines.
The performance of most cars built before World War II is pretty tame by twenty-first century standards, plus they can be physically demanding to drive, unreliable and expensive to repair. On the other hand, the best pre-war sports cars really do handle like they're on rails and provide a high level of driving excitement.
There are literally dozens of sports cars built between 1946 and 1957 that make terrific vintage rally cars. Prices are much lower than for pre-war cars with equivalent performance. Repairs cost less, too. A car such as a V8-powered Allard will literally leave you breathless. Other relatively inexpensive but fun choices are the Jaguar XK-120/140/150, 1956 or '57 Corvette, Maserati 3500 GT, AC Ace, Morgan Plus 4, Aston Martin DB-2/4, Austin-Healey 100 or Porsche 356.
Most vintage rallies allow cars built up through 1975, which gets you into such wonderful machinery as the Shelby Cobra, Aston Martin DB-4/DB-5/DB-6, Ferrari 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 or 330 GTC.
Probably the best all-round vintage rally cars from this era are the 1973-74 Porsche 911, 1965-66 Shelby Mustang GT-350 or 1963-67 Corvette Stingray. All three are fast, fun, reliable and inexpensive.
A vintage rally is not a race. It is much more demanding than that!
There are stretches on the Northwest Passage or Texas 1000 where fast cars can cruise at 140 mph. This is definitely not the time to have an old dry-rotted tire collapse or a spongy radiator hose lose its cool.
Smart rally drivers prep their cars thoroughly and bring a box of hard-to-find spares. Unlike fanatic vintage racing tech inspectors, rally organizers won't care if you've hidden disc brakes behind the wheels of your Porsche 356, bolted a 5-speed Tremec transmission behind the V8 in your Corvette or fitted high-tech radial tires to your old Ferrari.
Forget the 600-hp small block with the 30-minute life expectancy. While the typical vintage race is 30 miles or so, the typical vintage rally is 1000 miles. Think about it. You need to pay special attention to obvious things such as the cooling system, electrical system, brakes, tires, shocks, wheel bearings and U-joints, plus any special weakness peculiar to your model of car.
At the very least, you should carry a fire extinguisher, spare tire, a small jack, tool kit, oil, brake fluid, coolant, sparkplugs, wire ties and a first aid kit.
Some vintage rallies are referred to as TSD events. TSD stands for Time-Speed-Distance. Each two-person team of driver and navigator gets route instructions that direct them from one checkpoint to the next. There might be three or four of these stages each day of a four-day rally. The checkpoints are usually at some scenic tourist spot, a private car museum or some other point of interest.
Let's say the stage is 50 miles. The rallymaster says the allotted time for this stage is one hour. In other words, you're supposed to average 50 miles-per-hour. Arrive too early and you lose points. Arrive too late and you lose points. Timing is usually done to the nearest second, and the goal is to zero the rally by completing each stage perfectly and thus earning no penalty points.
Some vintage rallies add timed stages, usually at a race track, but sometimes on a private road. Now you can drive as fast as you want. No worries about average speed now; the fastest car wins! But there're also no worries about another racer running into you, since the cars are sent off one by one.
We know more than one couple who've zeroed a 1000-mile rally with a broken odometer and the wife's wristwatch which had no numerals. At the other extreme is a Canadian vintage racer who hired 14-time Pro Rally national champion navigator Tom Grismshaw and his rally computer for the New England 1000.
We recommend you bring a clipboard to hold the rally route instructions, at least two inexpensive stopwatches or digital atomic clocks, at least two pens and a set of Hi-Liter markers in different colors to emphasize important route instructions. If you have a particularly noisy car, invest in a pair of those head-mount intercoms that touring motorcyclists use so the driver can hear the route instructions.
Most vintage rallies are held in the spring or fall, when the weather can be iffy. Old sports cars, even closed cars, can be surprisingly cold and drafty or alternately, surprisingly hot and stuffy. Bring lots of layers of clothing.
Navigator's feet are especially vulnerable. Invest in warm boots.
A vintage rally is a team sport. The navigator is the captain; the driver is the helmsman. The driver's job is to drive smoothly and quickly, follow instructions precisely and not make the navigator car sick. The navigator's job is to interpret the route book as accurately as possible and convey that information clearly.
There are a few tricks to winning a vintage rally. The chance of your 30-year-old Ferrari odometer agreeing with the odometer of the rallymaster's new Porsche is virtually nil. Figure out the standard deviation as quickly as possible on the first leg, so you can make mileage corrections as you go along.
Vintage rallyists are interesting people. The kind of folks who own rare and expensive vintage cars, who can afford to spend $5500 for a rally, who can take a week off and who find it fun to drive 1000 miles in an old sports car are by definition going to be more interesting than the guy who thinks watching beach volleyball on cable TV is high excitement.
Special (vehicles) event
The Walter P. Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills, Michigan, hosts a specialty vehicle presentation April 17 from 9:30 a.m. until noon. Walt McCall will lead a two-part program: "How I Got Hooked (and Laddered): Confessions of a Lifelong Fire Engine Buff," and "The Professional Car; The Rise and Decline of Passenger Car-Based Ambulances and Funeral Cars." For details, call (248) 944-0450 or visit www.wpchryslermuseum.org. McCall has written 18 books on the subject.
'Stirling' deal
A fall down an elevator shaft may have slowed but certainly didn't stop Stirling Moss. The former racing great was to have joined Richard Petty and Don Garlits at the recent Amelia Island concours d'elegance, but was, as the British say, "in hospital." Despite his injuries, Moss participated in the activities at Amelia, bidding by proxy and buying the 1961 Porsche RS61 Spyder that crossed the auction block at the Gooding & Company event.
"I have long sought after a Porsche RS and had my eye on that [one] for several weeks and now cannot wait to see my new car," Moss said of a car much like the RS60 he raced in the 1961 Targa Florio.
By the way, Moss paid $1.7 million for the Porsche.

The largest public school system in Maryland, Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), is well known for claiming to have raised the bar and closed the gap. The reigning superintendent of the school system Joshua Starr is fond of saying "we're the first district to get to the moon. Now we have to get to Mars, and we're going to have to do different things to get there."
However, this column has been adamant in asserting (see also here) that the claim of closing the gap is not supported by the data released by the school system. Despite the publicly available evidence that seemed to contradict the claims of the school system, little if any effort was made by the local media to investigate the assertion that the academic achievement gap had been closed, let alone significantly narrowed. There was little evidence that this column could discover that supported the belief that the district had gone beyond earth orbit – and now an independent report seems to corroborate that conclusion.
On April 29, 2014, the Board of Education overseeing the school system discussed the scathing report issued by the County Council Office of Legislative Oversight (OLO). The authors of the report found "an increase in the stratification of MCPS high schools by income, race, and ethnicity," adding "that the achievement gap between high- and low-poverty high schools has widened among a majority of measures considered." The report also concluded that "data points suggest a flight of middle-class students" from high schools with large concentrations of high poverty students. Adding fuel to the fire, students staged the first ever "March to Close the Gap." The gap, it seems, is alive and well.
In its response to the OLO report, the school system contradicts its previous claims of closing the gap by insisting "we have a longstanding and persistent achievement gap." However, the MCPS response takes exception to the conclusion of middleclass flight from high poverty high schools. Publicly available data shows that white enrollment has been declining over the years.
Not too long ago the district unveiled another "gap closing" initiative labeled the "Seven Keys to College Readiness". With glossy brochures and a dedicated webpage, the Seven Keys were enthusiastically promoted by the then superintendent, Jerry D. Weast. The romance with the Seven Keys didn't last. Weast's successor, Starr, vowed to give the Seven Keys the beauty treatment with a makeover. That was more than a year ago. Today, the Seven Keys webpage is nothing more than a nonexistent link.
The latest initiative that is a panacea for all that ails public education is "hope." It turns out that "hope" comes with a hefty price tag--$900, 000 to be exact. The reality is that there is little in the form of robust, peer reviewed research to support the "hope" initiative. It seems to be poised to suffer the same fate as all those colorful initiatives supported by the long suffering taxpayers of Montgomery County, Maryland and enthusiastically promoted by MCPS administrators all over the United States.
There are indications now that the public may be tiring of the MCPS penchant for self-promotion. The middleclass flight from high poverty high schools may be a symptom of a disease that is taking hold of the system. Whatever the case, the public isn't falling for the usual hype. Montgomery County Public Schools, it seems, is facing a burgeoning gap—a credibility gap.
Meanwhile, the taxpayers and parents of Montgomery County can only "hope" that Alexander Pope's words ring true:
Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be blest:
The soul, uneasy and confin'd from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

Go Phillies, Oh Phillies!
The 2008 Philadelphia Phillies are going to be like Batman and Robin. We all know Batman is the Dark Knight who kicks ass with his karate, gadgets, and futuristic vehicle. Robin is the the tag-along that gets in the way and hinders Batman's pursuit of superhero greatness. Batman is awesome, Robin sucks.
The Batmen- With a nucleus of talented superstars like Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, and Jimmy Rollins any offense is going to be good. Mix in Shane Victorino, Pat Burrell, Geoff Jenkins, Pedro Feliz, and Chooch Ruiz and you got the best offense in the NL. There's some talent on the pitching staff too, as Brett Myers and Cole Hamels are a formidable 1-2 punch at the top of the rotation and Brad Lidge has been a great closer in the past, but other than that no real excitement in the pitching department.
The Robins- Clay Condrey, Tom Gordon, Adam Eaton, Tim Lahey, and Chad Durbin could quite honestly threaten to drop this team to .500 level. Mix in questions about Kyle Kendrick, Jamie Moyer, JC Romero, and Ryan Madson and you got yourself the classic "you're only as strong as your weakest link" scenario.

1) who the fuck is tim lahey?
2) i hear former phil david bell will be playing the part of robin on an off-broadway production of "batman and robin, bff"
3) bold move including mendoza-hugging LF pat burrell in the "good" category. that's a super jinx if i ever saw one.

Lahey is the piece of shit Gillick claimed yesterday. He's a converted catcher now right handed reliever that hasn't really been good in the minors, only has 3 Triple A innings, and is a Rule 5'er...just what the bullpen needs right?
- March 29, 2008 9:18 AM

You take that back about Burrell being a mendoza-hugger. He's clearly WAY better then that. He hugs .250 not .200!

is batman two handing his junk there?

- Bob D said...
What a waste of an offense on a couple of good pitchers mixed in a large number of so-so pitchers. Throw in a few horrible (Eaton, Gordon) you have the potential of a sub 500 finish.
However we all hope that Lidge, Madson, Romero, Moyer, and Benson will all step up and do well. And they actually have the talent and have showed the promise this year to do that and make this team a contender.
Feliz looks ready to hit 40Hrs this year while Ruiz may just hit 40 doubles.

I don't care that the past 2 games against Toronto meant nothing, only 4 runs in 2 games at the Cit is a shame for this offense. I'm predicting yet another shitty April, but this time we won't catch up.

Rock solid addition to the bullpen Tim Lahey gave up 4 consecutive hits when he entered the game in relief today. I hate you Pat Gillick!

A nice Phillies jersey is on display on my Phillies blog, though I bet you won't be seeing her at the ballpark. Check out my post at:
I have downgraded my win total for the Phils as of today, 83 is my number given the fact that pitching is their main obstacle in the middle relief and that's what wins ballgames for you.

T-Mobile Samsung Memoir release date announced: February 25
T-Mo USA has already officially announced the Samsung Memoir, about ten days ago, but back then it said nothing about the handset's release date.

Yoga Retreats for Everyone
A yoga retreat can be approached many different ways.
Usually, for a devoted yogi, it means picking a favorite
teacher from one's lineage, or someone who teaches in
one's chosen style, and following that teacher to a
destination — often in a dramatic, natural setting
like Costa Rica, Thailand or India. If you're a neophyte,
a comfortable, welcoming approach that takes beginners'
needs into consideration will matter more than famous
instructors. With our selection of yoga
retreats in the U.S. we've tried to be fair and select
destinations that cater to average people as well as
serious adepts. California being the yoga vortex it
is, we couldn't help but pick three retreats in this
"spiritually minded" state; the same is true
with our two spots in New York. The two coasts were
for the longest time the sole purveyors of things yogic.
You might miss obvious choices like Arizona and New
Mexico, and this was somewhat intentional: You probably
never thought you'd chance upon amazing options in Georgia
and Virginia. Yoga is thriving and these destinations
are just the beginning!
Big Sur, CA
Esalen Institute
exquisite institute with its annual 400 plus workshops,
designed to maximize what Aldous Huxley called the "human
potential," is a top-secret address for serious
retreaters. The quality of its teachers, unique approach
and spectacular coastal setting put Esalen in a league
of its own. Located in the Santa Lucia Mountains on
27 acres of Big Sur coastline, on what formerly was
the home of the Esselen Indians, Esalen blends Eastern
and Western philosophies in its quality workshops, which
have drawn renowned philosophers, psychologists, artists,
religious thinkers and top yoga instructors such as
Matthew Cohen, Seane Corn, Peter Levine, Tias Little
and Jai Uttal. Most people experience Esalen via a weekend
or five-day workshop. Yoga, is of course, only one modality
featured here. Pick from subjects such as biofeedback,
shamanism, somatics, dreams, hypnosis and more. The
hundreds of varieties of veggies that turn into the
meals on your plates are grown on the five acres that
make up the farm and garden. You can enjoy the hot springs
and bodywork by appointment.
Barbara, CA
White Lotus
high-profile retreat is among the most esteemed in the
world of yoga. Founded by the famous (in yoga circles)
and accomplished Ganga White, this mountain oasis sits
on ancient canyon grounds — considered sacred by
the original inhabitants, the Chumash Indians — overlooking
Santa Barbara and the Pacific Ocean. On its advisory
board you will find one of America's most respected
experts on health, Dr. Andrew Weill, as well as celeb
yogi Sting and Sanskrit /Hinduism professor David Gordon
White, Ph.D. Various group retreats are offered year-round
with themes such as Spirit Dance and Yoga Retreat and
Sacred Breath/Pranayama—or you can go on a personal
retreat and stay in of their yurts. A retreat will include
any or all of these: daily Hatha yoga classes, hikes
in the oak and manzanita forests, meditation within
canyon walls, breathing exercises, bodywork, dips in
the waterfalls, massage, music, dance, philosophical
discussions, a visit to the underground Hopi style "Kiva"
temple and vegetarian meals. The foundation also offers
a highly regarded teacher training program and practitioner
training in traditional Thai Massage.
Sivananda Ashram
Sivananda outpost — there are several Sivananda
Yoga Vedanta Centers around the world — on eighty
acres of Sierra foothills in Northern California's Gold
Country was founded by Swami Vishnu Devananda, a pioneer
of yoga in the Western world. It is open year-round
to practitioners of all abilities, and you can choose
to stay a day, a weekend or a month in this traditional
ashram nicknamed "yoga farm." The daily program
includes two daily yoga classes (with asanas, meditation,
chanting and lecture) as well as the swami's five points
of yoga (proper exercise, breathing, relaxation, diet,
positive thinking/meditation), and you may be encouraged
to practice Karma yoga (selfless service). Special theme-retreats
are also organized. Guests can enjoy a wide variety
of other wellness classes and retreat topics such as
positive thinking, Ayurveda, women's health, vegetarian
cooking, meditation or a silent retreat. Enjoy a swim
in the pond or simply let the tranquil, picturesque
landscape soothe you. Sivananda Yoga is practiced around
the world and you may feel drawn to the swami's mantra
that "Health is Wealth. Peace of Mind is Happiness.
Yoga Shows the Way."
Feather Lakes, CO
Shambhala Mountain
on 600 acres in the Colorado Rockies, this Tibetan Buddhism-centered
retreat, founded by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, caters
to both neophytes and in-depth practitioners with a
vast roster of programs on yoga, Buddhist meditation,
Shambhala warriorship training, dharma talks and much
more. The name Shambhala symbolizes the notion that
each human being innately possesses wisdom, compassion
and goodness, and after a stay here you'll feel one
step closer to your personal enlightenment. Besides
practicing yoga, you can take walks through the surrounding
wild, natural beauty and encounter brown hawks and eagles,
foxes, marmots and lynx. Or stroll the Shambhala Botanic
Gardens, enjoy massages, Vipassana Insight meditations,
poetry readings and three healthy meals a day. Among
the highlights on the property is The Great Stupa of
Dharmakaya, the "largest and most elaborate example
of Buddhist sacred architecture in North America."
Housing options vary and include motel-like buildings,
the Shambhala Lodge guesthouse, dorms and tents.
Vida USA Wellness and Yoga Retreat
sister property to Costa Rica's famed Pura Vida Retreat
and Spa sits on 72 wooded acres in the foothills of
the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains, with a view of the
Chattahoochee National Forest, surrounded by fields,
woods, three nearby vineyards (you might know Three
Sisters), waterfalls and blueberry bushes. Guests choose
from the B&B and wellness center's comprehensive
five- or seven-day Mind, Body & Spirit Retreats
or themed yoga vacations like Spring Cleansing, Anusara
Yoga, Tantra: The Yoga of Love, Yoga & Knitting
and wellness weekends. The meals are home cooked with
herbs from the garden, mostly vegetarian and often featuring
world cuisines; and you'll also be able to enjoy some
regional wine or microbrewed beer to cap off a day of
yoga classes (in the 1,400 square-foot yoga hall), massages,
leisurely walks on nature trails and English-style wildflower
gardens or a lounge on the large front porch. Be sure
to check out the aroma spa steam cabin and under-the-stars
Watsu tub with its wooden deck. The 18 accommodations
in the 1920's-style farmhouse, barn or private cabins
("Bear Dens") in the woods are simple and
comfortable, done in traditional southern style. It's
just an hour's drive from Atlanta and you'll be picked
up at the airport. Note: Pura Vida USA is now Dahlonega Spa Resort.
Island, HI
Kalani Oceanside
Honua translates as "harmony of heaven and earth,"
and this is the mission of this 30-year-and-going-strong
island retreat bordering the ocean and tropical jungle.
Visitors have raved about the lush setting and healing
and joyful spirit of this place and yoga great Shiva
Rea was inspired to say: "Kalani is one of the
most potent and nurturing retreat centers in the world
as it is so close to where Pele's lava flows into
the ocean — where new earth is actually being created."
Top guest faculty from around the country includes Baron
Baptiste, Shiva Rea and Rodney Yee, but even if you're
not a pro and these names mean nothing, this might be
the place to begin a spiritual or wellness journey with
their Introduction to Yoga retreat offered year-round.
Guests enjoy skilled instruction in yoga basics, healthy
vegetarian, vegan or seafood-centered meals on the open-air
lanai and activities such as Hula basics, creative writing
or DolphinDance. On your off-hours you can laze by the
25-meter Olympic pool, enjoy Hawaiian Lomilomi or Watsu
massage or bodywork, tennis and volleyball. Accommodations
cover all budgets, from the colorful Tree House with
ocean and horse pasture views to the friendly cottage
and the campsite.
Kripalu Center
for Yoga and Health
another stellar yoga retreat offering the chance to
study with world-class teachers such as Ana Forrest,
Shiva Rea, Rodney Yee and Gary Kraftsow. Founded by
Swami Kripalu, a master Kundalini adept, in 1966, this
center's mission is as true to the original meaning
of yoga as you can possible get: the search for your
authentic self, or rather, a nonsectarian way to become
a better, healthier, more integrated human being. The
center benefits from a beautiful natural setting in
the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts, and
a typical day may include daily yoga and meditation,
healthy meals and other healing modalities such as Kripalu
DansKinetics classes and Healing Arts Sessions. A weekday
healing retreat can also feature workshops, hikes, meditation
in the labyrinth, kirtan, dance and drum circles. Beyond
you will encounter programs designed to heal body, mind
and spirit that range from macrobiotics, Ayurveda and
raw juice fasting to chi gong and "brainergy."
Accommodations in the Jesuit seminary mean either the
dormitory or small standard rooms. It's not luxurious,
but the rooms are clean and modern, and you cannot top
the quality of instruction and chance for real transformation
offered here.
New Age Health
Catskill address on 280 acres of pastoral Sullivan County
land is not a yoga retreat per se — but everything
on offer here is designed to help you develop a sense
of greater fulfillment in life — and they do feature
regular "Specialty Yoga Weekends" centered,
for example, around opening your heart, sacred breathing
techniques or the tradition of Viniyoga. In addition,
daily Hatha yoga classes are held in the property's
1,700-square-foot studio with heated floors, a fieldstone
fireplace and impressive Buddha statue. Unless you're
a die-hard yogi and all you want is asana, you'll appreciate
other holistic activities like pranayama, silent meditation,
Tai Chi, aquarobics, strength training, cabaret dancing,
juice fasting, hydro colon therapy, reflexology, aromatherapy,
as well as hiking excursions, swimming, lectures and
workshops and more. Unlike many luxury destination spas,
the prices at "the only destination spa in New
York State" are extremely affordable and the accommodations
nice enough — you'll stay in pretty white country-inn
style clapboard lodges, and the fresh air and greenery
(especially of the nearby Shawangunk Mountains, best
explored on a half-day hike) around you alone are enough
to uplift the spirit
Omega Institute
Rhinebeck Campus
you're just beginning on your spiritual journey, the
Omega Institute for Holistic Studies offers the most
approachable programs for everyday people who have an
inkling that something deeper is missing in their lives.
It takes its name from mystic Teilhard de Chardin, who
described "the point where all thought converges"
as "omega." Its Rhinebeck Campus in the Hudson
Valley is the furthest thing from elitist — you'll
encounter neither gurus nor heightened disciplines and
esoteric efforts, but you'll be exposed to yoga, meditation
or transformational psychology in an easily digestible
manner. And, the faculty may include stellar names such
as Pema Chödrön, Sharon Salzberg, Geshe Michael
Roach, Jack Kornfield, Ph.D. or Krishna Das. Omega is
very highly regarded among retreat seekers and people
emerge refreshed in mind, body and spirit, if not totally
reformed, from the many classes such as Thai Chi by
the lake, yoga with pro Baron Baptiste or simple strolls
amid 195 acres of gardens, rolling hills and woodlands
in the Hudson River Valley. Cabin housing can be single
or shared.
retreat can mean many things, a day packed tight with
scheduled classes and activities or a silent retreat
of rest, meditation and the chance to experience life
in a spiritual community. At the 1,000-acre Satchitananda
Ashram Yogaville in the rolling Virginia countryside
guests enjoy Hatha yoga classes, meditation, three vegetarian
meals a day, Saturday evening satsang and a visit to
Lotus, the Light Of Truth Universal Shrine, an oasis
for contemplation and prayer dedicated to world peace
and all faiths. The Intergral Yoga you encounter here
combines the various branches of yoga (Hatha, Raja,
Bhakti, Karma, Jnana and Japa) to form a scientific
system that helps to integrate your whole being. In
the mornings you're awakened by the play of a violin
and you rise to an environment of serene woods and wildflowers
beneath the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains. Guests stay
in air-conditioned dorms, private rooms in two guesthouses
or campgrounds on a quiet, wooded area. Weekend workshops
and programs on anything from Thai Yoga Massage to structural
yoga therapy or vegan and vegetarian cooking are also
available, as well as teacher certifications.

College Hockey:Late Surge Carries Northeastern To Much-Needed Win
Huskies Overcome Crusaders With Three Third-Period Goals
BOSTON — Forget Jack Parker and those pesky Boston University Terriers.
Northeastern, which lost an intense 4-3 overtime affair with the aforementioned crosstown rival on Friday night, can do just that thanks to a three-goal third period that spotted the Huntington Hounds a 5-2 victory over Atlantic Hockey guest Holy Cross Saturday.
"It leaves a sour taste in your mouth, you don't want to leave a weekend with a loss," said Husky center Jason Guerriero (two assists). "We would've liked to have had that win last night, but we didn't and we bounced back today. [Holy Cross] is a great hockey team, and they played some of the best defense of anyone we've played so far. We'll take any win; this is college hockey and every day is a battle. We'll take the win, we're happy, and we'll go into next week."
Husky coach Bruce Crowder was pleased with his team's mental attitude after absorbing a stinging loss.
"There was a lot of toughness here tonight," he said. "Obviously our last two games being Hockey East opponents and losing a tough one last night, we had to come in here tonight and play a very good team in a non-league game.
"That was a real gut-check win tonight," he added. "It's so tough to get wins in college hockey, no matter who you are playing. I was very impressed with them. Their defensive-zone coverage was probably as good as any we've played all year. They didn't give us a lot of room. We persevered and kept at it, though. For us, it's a win and it's something we didn't have a lot of earlier on, but we're starting to put something together just in time for the rat race of Hockey East."
The teams skated to an even first period, with each team scoring twice. Holy Cross sophomore Blair Bartlett opened scoring six minutes into the contest when he sent a wrist shot to the right of NU netminder Keni Gibson (20 saves).
Two minutes later, Husky freshman Yale Lewis blew a slapshot from the left wing past Crusader goalie Tony Quesada (24 saves) for his third tally of the season.
At the 12:42 mark of the first, HC junior Andrew McKay corralled a loose puck and wheeled around the net before snapping a wrist shot past Gibson to give the visitors their second lead of the game.
However, Northeastern capitalized on a penalty — the first of the game — with just two minutes to play before intermission to knot the score again. Guerriero fed assistant captain Eric Ortlip at the left side of the goal, where the senior sent home his team-leading eighth goal of the year.
Despite four power plays (three for Northeastern) in the second period, the middle frame yielded just seven combined shots. In contrast, the teams peppered each other with 27 in the final 20 minutes of play.
Sophomore Steve Sanders buried the eventual winning goal seven minutes into the third, smacking a backdoor pass from Guerriero at the left post past Quesada. Sanders, who scored his first career goal against Vermont after being moved to the top line with Guerriero and sophomore Mike Morris, has four goals and two assists in his last seven games.
Holy Cross coach Paul Pearl was pleased with his group's effort, despite falling short in the end.
"It was a good game. It could've gone either way," he said. "You want to get to the third period tied or within a goal on the road, and we did. Unfortunately they just made a couple of plays there at the end, and we didn't.
"They're very good down low cycling the puck and we did a good job not getting picked and getting the puck out," he added. "It was too bad, the way they got the third goal. Their guy just all the sudden was open on the back post and that hadn't happened all night. You've got to do it for 60 minutes. They kept pressuring and pressuring and I guess we did it for 48."
With five minutes to go, freshman Ray Ortiz buried the rebound of a Lewis deflection into a gaping HC net to give NU insurance. The power-play assist gave Lewis the team lead in helpers among freshmen. A 6-2, 210-pound bruiser from Carbondale, Colo., Lewis' value to the team has been remarkable.
"I think he been a real find," Crowder said. "He's a kid that we brought in here late. He's a big body and he has a quick release. I think he surprised the kid on the first goal, and in front of the net on the power play he used his size to get the puck to Ortiz for the open net. He protects the puck extremely well, he might not the prettiest skater but he's finding ways to get it done.
"He brings something to the table that we haven't had here in awhile." Sophomore Brian Swiniarksi joined Ortlip and Guerriero for the team lead in goals (eight) when he scored on an empty net from the red line with 21 seconds left.
Northeastern will face Providence in a key home-and-home series next weekend, while Holy Cross is on the road next Saturday to play Quinnipiac.

The Good: Feel great grip is awesome, no issues with the sealed bearings. I have been in a few diggers ad banged them on some rocks and scratched them up but nothing has come lose. I found to make sure the allen key bolts for the plats a tight and lock tight 'ed. I have two bikes and have them on both. I like the plate changing to get the peddle to match whatever bike you have

You can read more about it http://www.displacedfansearch.com/
Displaced, die-hard NFL fans who maintain a nearly obsessive allegiance to their favorite team despite being far removed from its local market, will always have a home at DIRECTV. To honor those stalwart fans, DIRECTV has unveiled the first official list of the top displaced-fan cities in America and is also launching a national search for the Ultimate Displaced Fan.
DIRECTV analyzed data from more than one million NFL SUNDAY TICKET™ subscribers to identify the cities that hold the highest percentage of fans for each NFL team. In addition, the nation's digital satellite television leader is setting out to crown one lucky NFL fan as America's "Ultimate Displaced Fan," and send him or her to Tampa for Super Bowl XLIII and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Notable among the list of top displaced-fan cities were Las Vegas and Orlando, the only cities to house the highest percentage of displaced fans for more than two different teams. Las Vegas led in displaced fans for the Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers, while Orlando played home to the highest percentage of New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions fans. The list revealed several notable city/team relationships such as Washington D.C. housing the highest percentage of displaced fans for its most storied rival, the Dallas Cowboys, or Minneapolis housing the highest percentage of fans for its biggest rival, the Green Bay Packers.
The DIRECTV Ultimate Displaced Fan Search will allow NFL fans throughout the country to enter submissions on the DIRECTV Ultimate Displaced Fan Search page at DIRECTV.com/NFL between Sept. 11 and Nov. 30, 2008. There, fans can stake their claim to this unique title through written essays/blogs, photos or video submissions that illustrate exactly why they should be crowned the Ultimate Displaced Fan. One winner will be selected by a panel of judges, based on the example of dedication they display to their favorite team and the creativity of their submissions.
The winner will receive a dream prize package, including a trip for two and two tickets to Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, Fla. In addition, the winner will get to meet Super Bowl XLII MVP and New York Giants Quarterback Eli Manning, as well as a player from their favorite NFL team (if it's not the Giants), and play side-by-side with celebrities and star athletes in DIRECTV's Celebrity Beach Bowl flag football game, also held in Tampa during Super Bowl week. Finally, the winner will participate in their own media tour where they'll rub elbows with NFL stars while doing interviews on "radio row" at the official Super Bowl media center.
Below are the U.S. cities featuring the largest out-of-market fan base for each NFL team (based on percentage of NFL SUNDAY TICKET™ subscribers in the DMA that have listed the specific team as their favorite). The results exclude all cities that are within the home territory of the local team.

We normally do not track ratings and viewership for WWE Main Event, however, with the show airing live on WWE Network the night before it aired this week on Ion Television, I thought there would be more interest. This week's show actually scored higher in terms of an average viewing audience than it did the previous two weeks. Below is a look at the numbers:
- March 5th – 1,487,000 viewers
- February 26th – 1,289,000 viewers
- February 19th – 1,316,000 viewers
This week's episode featured Daniel Bryan vs. Kane and The Usos defending the WWE Tag Team Championship against The New Age Outlaws. WWE Network will continue to air WWE Main Event on Tuesday nights before it airs on Wednesday on Ion Television.

Indoor vs. Out – Which is Best for My Cat?
"Oh by the way, my husband thinks we should let him outside but I'd feel safer if he stayed in, what do you think?" This was the question posed to me at the end of my first consultation with a newly acquired little ginger kitten named Harry. The client had already started to pack up her things and head for the door, but she didn't get very far as there was no simple answer to such a seemingly simple question.
It's a question that I get asked a lot, and I must admit it was one that took me a while to learn how to answer. Growing up in New York and practicing in Chicago, such a question from an American client would have seemed silly. Of course the cat should stay inside, it would be cruel to let him out into the big bad scary world full of cars and poisons and little children that like to pull tails! But then I moved to England and was suddenly forced to develop a real and educated opinion on the subject. Over here, most people consider it cruel to keep a cat entirely indoors…….

On a recent trip to New Braunfels, Texas we had a lot of rain so we had to find fun things to do inside. Spring Loaded Trampoline Park was the perfect place to go. This is located at the Texas Ski Ranch in a building in the back and we had a blast!
This park cost us $15 for 2 hours of play per person. The sessions are cheaper on weekdays. It has several different trampolines. They have longer ones where you can run and even jump into the wall that is also a trampoline. It also offers several square trampolines for fun.
One other thing they have is floors that are similar to a gymnastic floor. While we were there, they had games of dodge ball going on. Someone that worked there was helping out with them and they went on all day long. My family spent a ton of time playing and it was a blast! They also had a basketball goal and a few various balls down in that area too.
We did have a couple of complaints. The bathroom was in the other building so you have to walk over to get to it. They do not offer a water fountain, but of course they will sell you water. They also do not have any lockers or anywhere safe to keep belongings, but were more than willing to put my purse behind the counter so that was great!
Personally I would highly recommend Spring Loaded Trampoline Park in New Braunfels, Texas. My kids considered this one of their favorite things we did on our trip.

Brain-wave analyzer
this wiki
- "My God. Do you know what this means? It means that this damn thing doesn't work at all!"
- —Doc
The brain-wave analyzer was one of the inventions Emmett Brown created. It was intended to allow him to read someone else's thoughts.
When Marty McFly arrived at his house for the first time, Doc disconnected the machine from his dog Copernicus, and tested the machine on him as he arrived on his doorstep. It consisted of a helmet with a metal geodesic framework that held several cylindrical devices pointed at his head, with electrical wires that led from each of these devices to either a small helmet strapped to his dog's head, or to a suction cup that he stuck to Marty's forehead.
His first guess was that Marty had come "from a great distance". This was only partly true; Marty never left Hill Valley, but he did travel a great distance in time. His second guess that Marty was selling subscriptions to The Saturday Evening Post door-to-door. This was a common occupation, but also not entirely correct, as Marty had picked up a newspaper earlier that day to check when he was. After noticing that Marty appeared to be wearing a life preserver, Emmett made a wild guess that he was collecting donations for the Coast Guard Youth Auxiliary. He did not know that only a short time beforehand, when Lorraine's mother guessed that he was a sailor, Marty answered that he was a member of the Coast Guard. If this wasn't an amazing coincidence, then this device may have been Emmett's first invention that actually worked.
A week later, while Doc is reading the letter from his 1985 counterpart, Marty tries on the brain-wave analyzer helmet as he looks at the inventions in the lab.
At some later date, Doc Brown and his team at the Institute of Future Technology successfully demonstrated a much smaller version of the brain-wave analyzer that was used to read one's own thoughts and display them on a LED screen. The device worked by harnassing electro-magnetic impulses created by synapse-disponses from both the cerebral-malbestare. Mind waves were transmitted at a mind obitting rate into the circuitry, thus translating thoughts into written form-in other words, reading your mind. Apparently Doc had some initial doubts that his newer version of the brain-wave analyzer would work, as the message on the display was that of Doc pleading to the device to "Work, baby, work!".[1]In 1986, during the estate sell, Biff is seen wearing Doc's original brain-wave analyzer.

Fans of tea fragrances (say, from Bvlgari or Kenzo or Elizabeth Arden) will know a few things about them: they're tasteful, professional, refreshing, and not really very much like tea. And that's fine. But if you want the literal experience of smelling like a nice cuppa, you owe it to yourself to at least try the very, very realistic Assam & Grapefruit from Jo Malone ($55). Think of all the hot English people you'll attract.

(BlackDoctor.org) — Kidney disease affects many in the Black community – and unfortunately, kidney failure puts entire families at risk. It's important for everyone to educate themselves in order to lead healthier lives.
Dr. Griffin Rodgers, Director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), has taken the time to provide answers to your questions…
Rich Lazare: What's a good diet plan for someone with Type 2 Diabetes and bad kidneys?
Dr. Rodgers: There is no one diet plan that will work for everyone with diabetes and kidney disease. It is best to work with your healthcare provider and a registered dietitian to find what works for you. Generally, you need to remember to choose foods that are lower in sodium and lower in protein; and are good for your heart. Depending on blood tests, you may need to limit foods high in phosphorus and potassium. The National Kidney Disease Education Program has several food tip sheets to help someone with kidney disease. Download the full tip sheets at the NKDEP website and take them to your health care provider. To find a registered dietitian in your area, visit eatright.org.
Sabir Muhammad: I am taking my mother to see her doctor about her kidney disease. Please tell me what questions should I be asking?
Dr. Rodgers: First, thank you for helping your mother take charge of her health. Many people have fears about kidney disease and may delay visiting a healthcare provider. It is important to be sure that her doctor has as much information as possible, especially a list of medicines which your mother is currently taking. The doctor should explain why your mother has kidney disease and let you know the likely cause, how severe it is and how he expects her to progress in the future. You may want to ask: How well are my mother's kidneys filtering? How much protein is in her urine? What is her blood pressure? What is her blood sugar? What can she do to delay kidney failure? But you also should know you likely are at risk for kidney disease as well. Help your mother, but also be sure to not forget to get checked yourself.
Melanie Barron: My friend's doctor has advised her that taking blood pressure medicine will help protect her from the deleterious effects of diabetes on her organs. Is there conclusive research that supports this?; Katherine Perkins: Please educate our people on the effects of alcohol & high blood pressure on kidneys; Towanna Sebrell: My sister has high blood pressure. I heard that can lead to other problems. Would high blood pressure lead to kidney problems?
Dr. Rodgers: You all asked about high blood pressure. Great questions! High blood pressure and kidney disease are closely related. High blood pressure is the 2nd leading cause of kidney disease. Diabetes is the most common cause. Regardless of the cause of kidney disease, high blood pressure is associated with more rapid progression of the condition. While controlling blood pressure is very important, there are specific kinds of blood pressure lowering drugs which provide additional benefits, especially in diabetic kidney disease. These medicines called ACE inhibitors and ARBs – not only can they lower blood pressure for people with diabetes, but they also can protect the kidneys as well.
Deborah M. Ferdinand: How do the hypertension meds plus diabetes further affect the kidneys??; Melanie Barron: My friend's doctor has advised her that taking blood pressure medicine will help protect her from the deleterious effects of diabetes on her organs. Is there conclusive research that supports this?
Dr. Rodgers: Both of you specifically asked about blood pressure medication. We know that taking blood pressure medication—even if you don't have high blood pressure, actually can protect kidney function. Two types of blood pressure medicines—ACE inhibitors and ARBs—may slow kidney disease and delay kidney failure, even in people who don't have high blood pressure.
Brandon Lee: Should someone be worried about kidney health if they have a history of diabetes in their family?
Dr. Rodgers: Yes, if someone's family has a history of diabetes, then they are at an increased risk of developing kidney disease. Early identification of kidney disease is key. 20+ million people in the US have chronic kidney disease, and the leading cause of kidney disease/kidney failure is diabetes.
Lena Brown: What are the signs and symptoms when you are in the beginning stages of kidney failure. What causes kidney failure? How do I prevent kidney failure?
Dr. Rodgers: You asked a lot of great questions. Most people with kidney disease have no symptoms until their kidney damage is quite advanced. It is important to get screened with blood and urine tests. Kidney disease can get worse over time, and may lead to kidney failure.

MAG: Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron to Go 'Public' with Relationship
Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron are "Hollywood's hottest new duo," according to Star magazine, which claims the pair is "finally planning to go public" with their relationship.
Um, what relationship?
There have been "whispers of a romance" between the two since last spring, reports the mag, which notes how they've successfully "managed to keep their relationship out of the spotlight."
A Star "insider" says Theron and Reeeves "will make their debut as a couple" when they "relocate to Britain in the coming weeks so she can shoot the drama Prometheus while he films 47 Ronin."
No, they won't.
As Gossip Cop told you when rumors of a romance between the Sweet November co-stars first surfaced last May, Reeves and Theron are just friends.
A rep for The Matrix star tells us Star's story is completely made up.
Perhaps Star should fact-check before it goes public with its stories.
Check out the hottest PHOTOS of the week!

Knockout Kings Video Recap & Replay Information
Saturday Night's "Knockout Kings" lived up to its name with three of the four fights ending in knockouts. Canelo Alvarez dominated Josesito Lopez and Marcos Maidana outdueled Jesus Soto Karass in a dramatic and thrilling eighth round TKO.
Catch the replay of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast in its entirety this week on SHOWTIME EXTREME on Tuesday, September 18 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Also available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND
Who cares see to a big redheaded latent bully beat down a naive, weak smally again? Canelo shoulda fought a small, seasoned opponent with a chance. Maybe he can fight smaller, long-in-da-tooth Money May next. The smaller, older Money May would have much better odds of making a fight against Canelo than Josesito Lopez. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?
