By Mike McCall
Another Tuesday, another time Dawson Odums puts up with us media folks and talks Southern football. This week, the topics included Saturday's crushing loss to Arkansas-Pine Bluff, the chance for redemption against Prairie View, the sputtering offense and the rash of injuries plaguing the Jaguars.
Here are some key points:
– On staying motivated after losing a shot at first place… "I believe we have some good players still on this football team, we have a football team that still believes, and we're just looking forward to getting back on the field because the only way you can erase that is by going out, playing better and winning the next football game."
– On FS Mychal Bell, who injured his knee last week (torn ACL and MCL)… "I know Mike is done. Mike won't play anymore for us this year. He'll get back into rehab and it's unfortunate for that young man because he was playing pretty good. We're down at the safety position but we hope to get [Levi Jackson] back this week, and we hope to get some other guys back back there."
– On playing CB Virgil Williams at safety… "We need Virgil closer to the ball. I think it really takes away from his skills when we put him that far away from the football. We didn't know Levi was going to be out, so we had to adjust and move Virgil. We were set on moving another safety and putting Kevin King back there, but when we didn't have Levi it really hurt us — finding out Friday night that he wasn't going to be able to play (arm infection). We had to move Virgil back there, and it's not Virgil's fault. He had limited reps back there at safety, and he did the best job he could. I really like Virgil closer to the ball."
– On the string of injuries, with C Aaron Hall (knee) and LB Franchot West (shoulder) due for MRIs… "I really think we're becoming the Southern MRIs. Every time you turn around, we have a kid getting an MRI."
– On WR drops, notably the TD pass that Charles Hawkins dropped Saturday… "That's plagued us all year, and not really the same guy. You look at a game here and a game there, and we always seem to have one guy that struggles catching the football. But Hawk is a talented individual. He didn't have his best game, and 'How do you respond?' is my challenge to him. You have to come back, regroup, go back to work, and guess what? We're going to continue to throw the football, you're going to get put in that same predicament, and what the result is going to be is totally up to him."
– On seeing his defense get gouged on Saturday… "It's very frustrating. You give up 510 yards of offense — that's a lot of yards — and 50 points. So of course we're not happy as a defensive staff and as a unit. We're not happy with our performance. We had some guys in the wrong gap, didn't do a very good job of tackling, and it stood out."
– On facing Prairie View, which rebounded from an 0-5 start with two wins… "They've been winning. You have a team that has found their stride. … I really think when you look at the SWAC, every week you're going to see something that raises your eyebrows. You're going to see a team that makes you say, 'How did they win?' or you're going to see a team and say 'How did they lose?' Every given Saturday in the SWAC — right now it's unpredictable. So you have to go out and play and put yourself in the best position to win a football game. They're doing a great job right now. They have some confidence, and it's not like we're lacking for confidence. We just played a bad football game. I really believe our guys will get ready to go."
– On SU's lack of a running game… "I've been saying it every week. I think we have to make a continuous effort to run the football. We just have to control that clock. It's a team game, and a lot of bad things happen when you throw the ball every down. We need that clock to be on our side, eliminate possessions and one of the ways you do that is by running the football. We're excited about having healthy running backs for a change, but our offensive line is now banged up, so that's going to be a tough chore. We're going to put some emphasis on it this week, and I look forward to those guys running the football."
-On moving freshman QBJustin Morganto defensive back full time… "I watched him every day on scout team. He ran the option some in high school, and everyone knows that if you ran the option in high school, those quarterbacks become good DBs. My background at Georgia Southern is that out entire secondary were quarterbacks. If you find a guy that can run, you can teach him the skills of how to play at DB. He has great ball skills, he understands the position, we're just excited to have him over there and we have to continue to get him reps and get him better."
On QB Dray Joseph… "We're committed to No. 10. We go how he goes. He didn't play his best football game, and we didn't play our best football game. … He has had a good year. This is really the first bad game he has played. I know he threw the interception and it was a pick-six, but it really wasn't all on his shoulders. The running back is supposed to cross the linebacker's face. He went behind the linebacker, and the quarterback threw to a spot. So it looked like it was on the quarterback's shoulders, but it was actually the running back that has to help him out. We're excited about No. 10 being our quarterback. We just have to get him playing better, and we know if he plays better, we're going to play better."

Hu throws down gauntlet with Chinese GDP target
Legacy of toil
The outgoing president has called for the country to double output per head by 2020. That implies annual growth of 7.3 pct to the end of the decade - a whisker below this year's official goal. That's only achievable if Hu's successors make changes he and his generation didn't.

The Syracuse Orange finally found some relief on Feb. 24, but not by much. After the Orange officially lost the No. 1 spot in the polls, their greater concern was ending a two-game losing streak against the Maryland Terrapins. Even that was nearly lost to Syracuse, although it somehow held on by 57-55, in a fitting way to end its wild month of February.
The Orange had it relatively easy in the first half, as they were up by eight and went into halftime on a Tyler Ennis buzzer beating three. Syracuse built the lead up to 12 with under six minutes left, but like everything in these last two weeks and for much of this month, nothing came easy at the end.
The Terrapins chipped away and the Orange couldn't find a way to put them down for good, until they were on the brink of losing. Yet when the Terrapins were down by 56-55 and had a chance to lead in the final seconds, Nick Faust was stopped from laying the ball up by Baye Moussa Keita.
However, it was debatable whether Faust was actually fouled -- giving the Orange the beneficial no-call it didn't get at the end against the Duke Blue Devils on Feb. 22. Instead of exploding at the referees again, coach Jim Boeheim stayed quiet as Syracuse stopped Maryland, made one more free throw, and watched a buzzer beater by the Terrapins fall short.
The Orange still came much closer than they should have to losing a third straight game after a 25-0 start. Technically, there are few good reasons why Syracuse shouldn't be on a five-game losing streak right now. Although the month of February started with the Orange being perfect -- and started with a perfect statement win over the Blue Devils -- March approaches with Syracuse looking far shakier.
With the Orange having to face the ACC leading Virginia Cavaliers on the road to start March, this next month doesn't stand to be any easier. If it ends the same way that February did -- and well before the Final Four, at that -- it will go down as one of the most disappointing seasons of the Boeheim era, considering how it all started.
The accompanying slideshow lists the wild and crazy ordeals Syracuse found itself in during February, which sets the bar even higher for March.

American Le Mans Series
In the week ahead two Viper GTS-Rs will make their racing debut in the GT class of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) sponsored by Tequila Patrón at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course near Lexington, Ohio. The Mid-Ohio Sports Car Challenge will be the sixth of 10 races that make up the ALMS championship.
The ALMS GT class thus far this season has featured some of the closest, most competitive sports car racing on the planet between Corvette, BMW, Porsche, Ferrari and Lotus. The first five races have seen four different winners – BMW, Corvette, Porsche and Ferrari – with only Corvette able to score more than one victory. Add two Vipers to this volatile mix and it can only get more intense.
The Mid-Ohio Sports Car Challenge
The famed 2.25 mile, 15-turn Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course features elevation changes, long straights and highly technical corners that will test even the best cars and drivers. Activities for the Sports Car Challenge will kickoff on Thursday afternoon with test sessions for all ALMS classes and continue on Friday with morning practice and afternoon qualifying. The race will get the green flag at 1:05 p.m. on Saturday and will be a timed event lasting for 2 hours and 45 minutes. For tickets or more detailed schedule information, please see ALMS web site.
Viper Drivers
Mid-Ohio is one of the shorter races on the ALMS schedule and each car will use two co-drivers. For the SRT Motorsports Vipers, four-time Trans Am champion Tommy Kendall will team with Le Mans veteran Marc Goossens in the number 93 Pennzoil Ultra Viper, while up-and-coming drivers Kuno Wittmer and Dominik Farnbacher will man the helm of the number 91 Forza Motorsports GTS-R.

Post subject: Romances Where the Hero is a Drummer in a Rock Band?
Okay, here's the deal.
I've been reading romances for over 20 years. It just so happens that I've also been married for many years to a drummer in a rock band. One might think that it would have registered on me that there are lots of romances out there where the heroes are members of a rock band, but no, such a premise never even crossed my mind. Very recently I stumbled across such a novel, and it was as if the Age of Enlightenment had suddenly dawned. Rock musicians and romance---what a great idea! I have no idea why I've never come across this type of book before.
Anyway, I've been hunting for some good stories centering on the whole rock band/romance thing. Anybody have any favorites? I would be interested in any recommendations, but particularly those for rock drummers.
Thanks in advance!

The hero's not the drummer, but the lead singer in a band, IIRC. I LOVED Tom and Sharon Curtis OLD romance, THE GOLDEN TOUCH. You can get used copies for under $2 at Amazon which describes the book as
"Hired to repair an instrument for legendary musician Neil Stratton, Kathy Carter, still licking her wounds after her beloved husband's tragic death, is determined to turn away from the chance for happiness that Neil offers her."
The Curtises do the good girl with the wild boy (motor cycles and black leather, oh my!) very well, and I remember thinking that this book rang true when I read (and reread) it.

I've looked for these type of books myself since rock is my favorite genre of popular music. But alas, there aren't as many out there as there are books that center on country music performers. (Perhaps that's a result of where many romance authors come from, themselves, and the fact that rock has been viewed as much less family friendly than country. You know, the old, "sex, drugs, and rock n' roll" mindset. I know rock is much less on the public airwaves than it used to be, which I mourn.) In any event, I do know of a few books that feature rock artists (although I don't remember any drummers) and there are even a couple in my TBR pile. When I get home from work, I'll post what I have, unless someone beats me to it.
I'll be very interested in what others recommend.

Off the top of my head, there's WHAT THE LIBRARIAN DID by Karina Bliss. It's a category but don't let than turn you away. It's great.
Also there's a series of erotic romances from Olivia Cunning about a band, but I haven't read them so I can't vouch for quality. ROCK HARD is the first one.
Also Elyssa Patrick has a rock star book called As You Wish. Not sure if it's available as a print book though.

Okay, now that I'm home this is what I can come up with. (Sorry that none of these involves drummers and, in some cases, the rocker is the heroine. Or, the hero or heroine is actually a pop star rather than rocker.)
These I've read and can recommend:
Moments in Time
by Mariah Stewart - Hero is a rocker, and the story is a look back at his rocky -- ha, ha -- marriage with the heroine.
Just Desserts
by Barbara Bretton - Heroine is the adult daughter of an old school rocker. (Think adult daughter of Mick Jagger or similar.) She didn't know she was his daughter.
Grace Grows
by Shelle Sumners - You've probably heard about this book. Hero is not a rocker per se, but I would say he's a folk or alt-rocker.
American Diva
by Julia London - If my memory serves, the heroine is a pop star.
These I haven't read:
Fitzwilliam Darcy: Rock Star
by Heather Lynn Rigaud -- I kid you not. The blurb reads: A modern Pride & Prejudice that will rock your world. Apparently, Darcy is a rock guitarist and Elizabeth is in a girl band.
by Lisa Gregory - I believe the heroine and her sisters were in an old school girl group from the 1960's.
As you can see, none of them really fit the bill.

And the drummer, Eric Sticks, does get his own story later this year in 'Snared' which is a tentative title.
She also has a serial out and the very first book features Gabe, a drummer, the title is Try Me. The thing with these books, they end abruptly only to be continued on in the next book. When I read the first one I thought something was wrong with my ebook because it stopped just right in the middle of a scene.

If I ever had any interest in reading that,
this review
would have ended it.

This is the only one I could think of. I don't think the hero was a drummer, and he's not really with the band anymore, but that's the closest to what the OP asked for that I've read.
There's also the secondary romance in SEP's

I can think of a few:
Till We Meet Again - Kathleen Gilles Seidel
Hero starts up a band in college with heroine's brother. This is women's fiction with lots of ups and downs until the hea.
Cool Shade - Theresa Weir
Hero left his music career and is a recluse. Heroine is a DJ. Chapter titles are the titles to 90s grunge rock songs.
Gateway to Heaven - Beth Kery
Hero is a rocker. Heroine is a school teacher. Not as erotic at Kery's other novels.

Till We Meet Again - Kathleen Gilles Seidel
Minerva, did you mean
Till the Stars Fall
, by Kathleen Gilles Seidel? I second this recommendation. This is one of my favorite romantic novels. It has received an A grade here at AAR:
There is a lot in the story about "Dodd Hall", the band created by Quinn (the hero) and Danny (the heroine's brother). Many chapters start with a quote from interviews given by Quinn and Danny during their career at Dodd Hall. And it is very interesting to see how Krissa, the heroine, tries to find her own identity while been very involved in the band.
Another book where the hero is a rock star is
by Carole Bellacera. I did not like it as much as
Till the Stars Fall
, but it has its good moments.
The hero is the lead singer of an Irish rock band. The heroine is a photojournalist who is hired to do book on the band, documenting their next U.S. tour. The band drummer is the hero's best friend, if I am not mistaken.

I just contracted a series with Lyrical Press titled Drawn To the Rhythm and the first book in the series is about A drummer who, sick of the rock star life, meets a school teacher. It's more of an "us against the world" romance. There are 4 other books in the series following the other members of the band and a novella about the band's lawyer who also happens to be the lead guitarist's sister. I'm also working on a follow up series of novellas about another band and I've already written the drummer's book. I'm guessing the books will start coming out in August or September, but I don't have publication dates for them yet.
Angsty romance with scattered humor.

Thanks so much for all the suggestions and recommendations, everyone! I'm looking forward to checking them out.
After watching all the drama and social interaction of the members of hubby's band all these years, I've muttered more than once, "Somebody should write a book." I guess they have!
Thanks again!

Kansas has received a one-year extension of a waiver that gives it more flexibility in meeting some of the provisions of the federal No Child Left Behind education law.
The U.S. Department of Education also granted an extension Thursday to Indiana. Kansas first was granted a waiver in 2012, but was told last August it was at "high risk" of losing it because the state hadn't taken enough steps to use student achievement data as part of teacher evaluations.
The Kansas Department of Elementary and Secondary Education says education evaluation systems will incorporate the student data as a "significant" factor this year. But those student growth measures will not be used to make personnel decisions until the 2017-18 school year.
Federal education officials say Oklahoma's public school standards aren't sufficiently preparing students for college or careers and will pull a waiver that lets the state bypass some provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act.
The U.S. Department of Education sent a letter to the state Thursday saying that while Oklahoma had benefited from the flexibility, it couldn't justify an extension.
Assistant Education Secretary Deborah Delisle said Oklahoma had promised to carry out plans to improve education for all students. This year, however, Oklahoma overturned its Common Core standards and adopted those in place in 2010. Delisle told Oklahoma offiicials they "can no longer demonstrate that the state's standards are college- and career-ready standards."

Long night, just to
Disappoint the one who loves most
Anything you lay your hands on
Golden line and mine is but too
Not a gist too strong
Now that the photographs are gone
And now that the light's are all blown
And now that house is gone home
Where do you go?
You're so hollow
Fall into the bottle keeps me
Company but ask me, is this
A burden on a bounty that just
Keeps the wars at bay?
And now that the photographs are gone
And now that the light's are all blown
And now that house is gone home
Where do you wanna go?
Just where do you wanna go?
I guess I was so wrong
I guess this was so wrong
And I gotta face my greatest fear
Baby, it can't be here

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
You should, and say something like:
Be upbeat and supportive of the team you are leaving behind and if you going to be supporting them in any way during the transition mention that too.
It is my experience that there is less stress and anxiety on those left behind if you are upbeat, supportive of the team, and tell them what you are going to be doing. Even if you were just a contributor on a team and not a manager/team lead, people wonder why you left etc., when you don't say anything.
You should actually send it in my opinion. some organisations create recreational alias for this.. I ve seen people trying to contact persons who left their job with so many unicast mail and then after great amount of time and effort , they know your departure from team.,
so saying good bye to your work family when you move forward does not harm in a work environment... Its highly recommenced, people know who should they contact after your departure if you are expert in your module if you really want to provide pointer for those ( i am talking about the other teams interact with your team)
Thank you for your interest in this question.

Any case worth taking to trial justifies a little forethought about a possible appeal. What follows is a list of commonly overlooked trial matters that can make or break an appeal – and how to ensure it does not happen in your case.
* The pretrial order: Most federal pretrial orders contain a recitation that the pleadings are amended "to conform with" the pretrial order. This is not mere boilerplate. Any claim or defense omitted from the pretrial order is no longer a part of the case, regardless of how often, or well, it was pled. Conversely, any claim or defense in the pretrial order is now in the case, regardless of whether it was ever previously pled. If the pretrial order's statement of issues is unsatisfactory to you, you need to make a record of that fact, preferably in the order itself.
Appellate practitioners can face problems in crafting a winning appeal long before the first brief is even drafted. Technical defects and missing documents can distract from the merits, stall the momentum of a compelling argument, and doom an appeal. In a nightmare scenario, an appellate lawyer can expend significant time and energy better expended elsewhere reconstructing the record and curing technical defects. Both trial counsel and the appellate specialist can benefit from early consideration of how the case put in at trial will look on appeal.
Appellate lawyers considering solo practice often ask, "can I succeed on my own?" Fear of failure is understandable. A better question is, "how can I succeed in a solo appellate practice?" This article's purpose is to answer that question. It provides practical advice on how to start and develop such a practice successfully. It also addresses numerous myths and concerns that arise in considering whether to do so.
Much has changed since I started my own solo appellate practice 27 years ago. However, the fundamentals of how to grow and manage such a practice have not. There is much more to appellate practice than writing briefs and presenting oral arguments. Hopefully, my experience and suggestions will be useful in helping you decide whether to practice appellate law on your own.
Global changes underscore the need for lawyers to develop new skill sets to add value to their services and assist clients in obtaining meaningful appellate review when arbitration goes awry.
It is a truism that we live in a global world. One manifestation of globalism is the increasing use of arbitration in commercial transactions. In 2010, one in seven U.S. companies undertook at least one international arbitration. 2010 Fulbright Litigation Trends 7th Annual Survey. Not surprisingly, corporations from one jurisdiction are reluctant to use the courts of another jurisdiction as a forum for resolving their disputes. They have concerns about the impartiality of the courts, mastering the complexities of a different legal system, and finding a lawyer to represent them there. Arbitration offers an increasingly used solution to these problems.
In the 1938 Russian film "Alexander Nevsky," the eponymous military genius, recruited to protect Russia against invading Teutonic knights, is asked to propose a strategy for defense. "Defense?" scorns Nevsky. "I know nothing of defense. We shall attack!"
When you are representing an appellee (or respondent, or real party in interest, depending on the proceeding or the forum), it's tempting to think only in terms of defense. After all, you hold the high ground. The trial court or jury decided in your client's favor. The appellant has the burden of showing reversible error. The standard of review (with few exceptions) favors the appellee. So why not let the appellant take the lead, and just meet the appellant step-for-step? That's probably why so many appellees' attorneys organize their briefs as simple responses to the appellant's opening brief. They adopt the same issues the appellant frames. They organize their arguments in the same order as that in the opening brief. Some even adopt the appellant's statement of the case, fact statement, and standard of review by reference.
Any appellate lawyer practicing in the federal courts is keenly aware of the fundamental requirement of subject matter jurisdiction. A timely notice of appeal is a prerequisite to an appellate court's jurisdiction and, absent an extension of time to file an appeal provided by the district court, a federal appellate court is without discretion to review an untimely appeal. Indeed, under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, a timely notice of appeal is a mandatory and jurisdictional prerequisite which a circuit court can neither waive nor extend. Thus, as appellate lawyers we carefully calendar dates of entry for final judgments and corresponding due dates for notices of appeal, while making note of due dates for any postjudgment motions which otherwise toll the time to file an appeal.

That sounds great Treo, I'm proud of you for taking such classes.
You are assuming that just because you happen to have a gun, that the cop is going to be stressed out and that you must use your theraputic crisis management and communication skills.
Its not that simple though is it? Here's a news flash for you...if I walk up to your window because of a traffic stop, I already assume that you have a gun and you want to kill me just because I stopped you. Althoug it sounds pretty far fetched, it happens on a fairly rountine basis somewhere in this country.
As far as "forcing" one to change from reactive to logical mode, I doubt it. I dont read anything on the side of the road, it isnt until I am in the car on the radio before I allow what I have in my hand to distract me. I've seen enough Handgun Permits that it really dosent alarm me in any way and I dont know of any local cops that get alarmed.
I dont want you to be a cop hater Treo, but it seems that you always speak of dealing with them in a negative manner and its just not me that sees it. You can sugar coat and jive all you want to, but your distrust is pretty obvious to anyone with a clue.
As far as consenting to a search, I concur.
I dont ask to search anyone. I could care less what you are trying to hide and if arrest you for something I dont need your permission to search, I'll do it anyway. Its funny how much stuff turns up after an arrest. Its also funny how many people that get arrested have never seen some of the stuff in their car before.

Yesterday the song was "It's Friday, Friday…." Now today the song is, "Woo Hoo it's the weekend!" Something about weekends that put a smile on anyone's face. In our home weekends are loved because it means loads of relaxing, AND lots of fun cooking/baking.
Hubby took this picture, just playing around with new camera!
I am still getting the grasp on vegan baking, and the different ways each treat is made. For the vegan muffins, I kept them simple, yet full of flavor. Since I made lemon cake, I decided why not make lemon muffins too? AND that is where the lemon party started….I still have lemons left too. Wonder what I can make this weekend????
Baking or even cooking with whole wheat has not always been my favorite. I do know the benefits of whole wheat, but every time the dish or treat tastes grainy to me…..I know, I know I am weird! BUT I decided to explore, and make the muffins with whole wheat. Ummmmm….Ya, I love the whole wheat in them……riddle that one?
I think as we age, our taste buds age, it is my perception of course. It is funny though, so many foods that I was nervous to try, or even disliked when I was younger, today I am finding that I love them. One thing would be sauerkraut and sausage…..OH MAN, really disliked it when I was a kid, now love it! Here is my post on my Mother-In-Law's special Polish sauerkraut and sausage, love this dish! I just recently started enjoying steamed mussels too, had them in Winston-Salem with bacon and blue cheese….YUM!!!!!
So for this fun treat I had fun just creating my own recipe, a little of this, and little of that, and you have these beauties! My sweet friend Andi from My Beautiful Adventures fell in love with them, which made my day!
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- ½ cup toasted pecans, chopped
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- Zest of 2 lemons
- Juice of 2 lemons + Juice of 1 lemon for glaze
- 1 cup applesauce
- ½ cup canola oil
- ½ cup almond milk
- 1 tsp almond extract
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ⅓ cup sugar for glaze
- Powdered sugar to sprinkle on muffins
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray Large muffin pan (makes 6 muffins) or standard muffin pan (makes 12 muffins) with cooking spray.
- In small fry pan, toast on medium-low heat a handful of pecans. Be sure to flip them around so they don't burn. Once you start to smell that gorgeous toasted smell, usually the pecans are done. It will take about 2-4 minutes to toast the pecans.
- In small bowl, mix together flour, chopped pecans, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and zest of the lemon.
- In a medium bowl, mix together juice of the lemon, applesauce, canola oil, almond milk, almond extract.
- Mix together the wet and dry ingredients, and then finally mix in the oats. Fill each muffin cup ¾ full. Bake for 30-35 minutes for larger pan, and 20-25 minutes for smaller pan, depending on oven.
- In small sauce pan, on medium heat warm together sugar and juice of one lemon, heat until sugar dissolves. Drizzle over baked muffins, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
- Enjoy!
Here is the link to the yummy lemon cake recipe in case you missed it!

Disease Proof
A message from Joel Fuhrman, M.D.
Happy Holidays and A New Way to Celebrate
For many of us, the holidays are a wondrous time when we are joyful for what life has provided and we celebrate the season with our family and friends. We are usually offered an abundance of everything. Thanksgiving dinner and holiday parties are festive times that present us with many choices. We also have the choice to spread good will to others.
Unfortunately, the holidays are also associated with trips to the emergency room and deaths from dangerous eating. The emergency room doctors call it "holiday heart" as the busiest time at hospitals are from heart attacks, strokes and other emergencies that occur the next morning after big holiday meals.
So many people use the holiday season as an excuse for gluttony and addictive binges. My team here and I thought about how we could help to encourage people to enjoy the holidays more, with great tasting holiday food that is healthy too, and have as many people as possible set a good example to encourage people to have a truly healthful and happy holiday season.
I take bad nutrition seriously because people die from it. When junk food is eaten, including the traditional, highly-toxic foods served at the holidays, you may get momentary pleasure as it passes the lips in a short amount of time, but the results continue on to compromise your health. Additionally, not having good health magnifies every emotional problem plaguing your life and exasperates the holiday blues. Healthy recipes and treats can taste great! It may take more effort to prepare, but there is really no reason to sacrifice your good health.
My Six Week Challenge is dedicated to helping you make the best choices; the ones that will allow you to achieve overall health and quality of life. By pledging to take the challenge, you'll be celebrating your health instead of simply indulging in destructive "fake food". Can you find friends or family members to join you in taking the challenge too?
I have created an opportunity for those straddling the fence of commitment. For those who step up to this challenge over the next six weeks and commit to a few simple guidelines throughout the holidays, I am offering:
- a free six week membership to DrFuhrman.com*
- a free Eat To Live Vook(a video enhanced ebook)
- an entire support system of holiday recipes
- special support from Dr. Fuhrman's Nutritional Education Institute faculty and medical team on medicine, nutrition and motivation
The challenge involves only a few simple promises to make, taken from my book, Eat To Live.
Here are the fundamentals:
- Eat a large salad every day
- Enjoy a generous serving of steamed greens with mushrooms and onions
- Satisfy your sweet tooth with three fresh fruits a day
- Have at least one fulfilling serving of beans each day
Here's what you are promising to omit:
- Avoid white flour
- Avoid sugars & artificial sweeteners
Throughout the challenge, you will have plenty of support. We will answer your questions online in the Member Center. We encourage you to log your progress with "My Health Manager." Seasoned veterans of the Eat To Live diet-style will also be there to help you.
Here is how you get started:
Step 1: Join us on Facebook to share this exciting experience and encourage your friends to also make the commitment for a better life and incredible holiday.
Step 2: If you are not already a member of my online Member Center, sign up for your FREE six week membership*.
Step 3: Enjoy the holidays!
There is more – the challenge is just the start! By joining the challenge you will have the opportunity to participate in a contest where you may be eligible to win an all expense paid trip to my 6th annual 2011 Health Getaway in Park City, Utah at The Grand Summit Hotel at The Canyons resort. The winner or winners will be chosen based on their documented results during the challenge and into the new year. All participants of the challenge will receive details in the following weeks.
I hope you enjoy this holiday gift to help spread the message of good health and healthy eating.
* A $44.95 value. *Offer valid thru December 4th. Dr. Fuhrman's online store software requires credit card information in order to process an order; including this free offer. Your credit card will automatically be billed $14.95/month after the initial 6-week period unless cancelled. You will be notified in plenty of time to cancel if you decide to discontinue the ongoing support of the member center after the holidays.
I am disappointed in your "challenge." It is obviously set up to make money as the 6 week "free" membership comes with having to give one's credit card information and then if you forget or something happens, after the 6 weeks are up you are billed! If you really wanted to help people and intended to truly give them a "free" membership for six weeks, there would be no credit card information demanded and then if someone wanted to continue after the six weeks, he or she could do so.
I'm into a contest for sure! I notice you mention winners are chosen on their "documented results". By documented do you mean self-documented, or like a video-log, or like - to be eligible we need to see a doctor and get weighed and have blood work done?
Also - my friend is getting back into the country next week (away on a vacation). I know he'll want to start too, and I saw the 6-week offer is valid through Dec 4th - can he start when he gets into town on Thursday and still be eligible for the contest?
This is sooooooooo great. Thank you, Dr. F, for offering all this support on your own dime! I'm not going to waste the chance, for sure!!!
any chance there will be weekly menus and a shopping list? That would really help...
I just signed up! I'm so excited, and very relieved. This is just what I need to stay on track. Thank you Dr. Fuhrman!
I tried to sign-up for the free 6 week membership, but the site keeps asking for my credit card number, even though it states my total is $0.00.? Can you please assist in how I can go about registering for the free membership?
The credit card requirement is a technology issue. Dr. Fuhrman's online store software requires the credit card information in order to process any order, including a free offer. Everyone who participates in the challenge WILL be notified in plenty of time to cancel the future, monthly billings if he/she decides to discontinue the ongoing support after the holidays.
Dr. Fuhrman is giving this as a free offer to anyone who wants the additional support of the member center over the holiday season. Technically, there was no other way to process the free offer in order to launch this challenge in time for the holidays.
I got completely free of food addiction, lost 100 lbs, AND get my health and life back with the support of the member center. I couldn't have done it alone. With the ability to ask the physicians medical questions, listen to the many helpful teleconferences, read the tutorials and newsletters, and seek encouragement and success tips from other nutritarians; it's a bargain that truly is unbelievable. It's an invaluable, priceless gift.
How do we document our results? Did I miss something in the directions they gave us?
For the most part, I eat as a nutritarian, but I do enjoy an occassional beer or glass of wine, especially during the holidays. I would like to participate in the 6-wk challenge, but does alcohol fall under "avoid sugars?" Please forgive me if this is a stupid question! Thanks, Kim
Does this challenge apply to people who are already members? I am not on facebook and don't really want to be- am I excluded? I think there may be other members who might want to particapate.
Dr. Fuhrman said that an occasional beer or glass of wine is okay during the holidays, but make that meal especially healthful.
Document your results with videoes and photos of yourself (and your family); with good stories to match.
All submissions will be reviewed, and the winners will get an all-expense-paid health Getaway at the Grand Summit in Park City, Utah the last week of June. There will be other prizes as well.
You do not have to be on facebook to participate in the holiday challenge.
Physician documentation is not necessary as long as you have great photos/videos to document the progress.
And sure, your friend can join when he gets back. Please let us know his name for administrative purposes. You may send it via the Disease Proof messages if so desired. Click on the "contact" icon at the top of the Disease Proof website.
Thank you, Emily, for taking the time to respond to our questions. Kim
Could the "occasional beer or glass of wine during the holidays" be like the first shot of dope that gets the person hooked, especially if the person is in an alcohol-guzzling or dope-shooting environment? Is it an excuse to rationalize or defend one's addiction?
Is it too late to join in ?
It's not too late to join in the Six Week Holiday Challenge, although the free offer to join the member center has now expired. However, one can join the member center anytime and still participate in the challenge. There is valuable information and support from both the physicians via Ask the Doctor and other members who completely understand the power of food addiction and have gained victory over it; plus, the many great educational tutorials: teleconferences by Dr. Fuhrman, newsletters, articles; and discounts on vitamins and products, etc.
The member center is a priceless investment into one's health. Like Dr. Fuhrman has mentioned, "Health is our greatest wealth."
Hurrah for the free info, it is great that more folks are heading for a vegetable/pulse-centric diet. However, I call BS on the "technology issue" that requires credit card info to let people into the plan. Designers of shopping-cart systems, etc, use bogus accounts to test the site. You could have your site designer mirror the content behind the credit card gate at some other link. There are a great number of ways to make your content actually fully free to all.
To protect your content after 6 weeks of open access would be darn tough, though, so I don't blame you for not wanting to make it actually free to read for credit-card haters. But please don't make technology mystically unable to un-fetter info, that's just not true.
But I think it is great that you are pushing a veg-based life, thank you for that.
Suite 408

If you are a parent of a Home-Schooler, chances are you've at least heard of Unschooling. Unschooling is as old a practice as humankind itself. Knowing that our offspring are natural learners, the Unschooling technique is often used by parents without a thought. Did you sing the alphabet song to your toddler? Did you sort laundry or plan a meal with your child? These are both examples of what might occur during a typical Unschooled "School Day".
At it's core, Unschooling means to allow a child to learn through life experience. Playing games, free play, exploring a library or museum, watching an old movie, doing chores about the home or yard; these are all examples of natural learning opportunities that do not involve sitting with a school text. Encouraging a child to explore activities that they choose is a common entrance to the world of Unschooling, and realizing that how we learn is not as important as the learning itself is crucial to accepting the concept. Embracing the common sense notion that mere memorization of facts is not equivalent to an education means we can then fathom the reality that memorization of multiplication tables does not make one a mathematician.
That said, are you ready for a semester of Unschooling? I was, and we are about to have our semester wrap-up. Having a teenager who suddenly realizes that he has left his compatriots in the dust when it comes to common knowledge of nutrition is an interesting experience. Having that same child discuss with his younger brother the dreams of opening a vegan restaurant means an opportunity to teach how a business plan works, how government regulations work, and how payroll, minimum wage, and income tax are all part of the adult world. Unschooling makes it possible for education to take a natural course, tweaked a bit here and there by the parent. It's been an interesting semester. While Algebra is waiting for a few months and "Romeo and Juliet" has gone unread this semester, a child is learning the meaning of "well-rounded". And so is this Mom.

Slimfy provides us expert advice on understanding how 'Tolerance' is key to weight loss through a question and answer interview we conducted. Read below how 'Tolerance' and their line of high-quality supplements can contribute to your weight loss success.
As well as maintaining a good exercise regime and diet, many dieters through the decades since the introduction of mass market weight loss supplements and medication have become frustrated by a stunt in their weight loss, and are often at a loss to find an explanation why they can no longer shed the pounds. What they may not be aware of is that they have developed a very real phenomenon called 'tolerance'. We asked a weight loss expert from Slimfy to help explain what its all about.
Q: What is tolerance?
A: When you hear the word "tolerance" what comes to mind? How many glasses of wine you can drink before getting a little too giggly? How many times you can listen to that one song on the radio before you change the station every time you hear it? As humans, we all build up tolerance to all sorts of things- chemicals, situations, even people around us. And so it's only natural that we develop a tolerance when we put the same thing in our body day after day. Think about it. Remember when you were a kid? You probably drank one caffeinated soda and it sent you bouncing off the walls. As an adult, you're downing 3 cups of coffee just to stay alert throughout the day. Why? Because over time, your body starts to tolerate caffeine more easily. It just won't affect you as much. It's a natural process.
Q: What causes tolerance?
A: It is usually caused by an increase in induction of the enzymes required for degradation of the supplement. In other words, tolerance is a reduced response to repeated administration of the same dose or increase in the dose is required to produce the same magnitude of response. Once we begin to take a supplement on a regular basis, the dose response goes down i.e. the same dose of medication produces less effect than it used to. Q: How long does it usually take for tolerance to build up and affect weight loss? A: It varies but usually after about 30 days, most will experience a dramatic drop in effectiveness of most products.

The Producers Guild of America has announced plans to honor the producing team of Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman at an upcoming ceremony.
"Tom and Gary are extraordinarily talented producers who have changed the television landscape with extremely unique, award-winning programming," Paula Wagner, chair of the 2011 Producers Guild Awards, said in a statement Monday. "They consistently deliver intelligent, thoughtful entertainment that has made a tremendous worldwide impact on the industry; we look forward to honoring their remarkable achievements."
"We're flattered to be in the company of so many great filmmakers who have received this award from the Producers Guild," said Hanks.
"We'd be honored to receive anything with Norman Lear's name on it, but this is truly fantastic," Goetzman said.
The 2010 recipient of the Norman Lear Award was Mark Burnett.
Hanks and Goetzman formed Playtone Productions in 1998. Among their projects have been the celebrated TV miniseries "The Pacific,""Band of Brothers" and "John Adams."

"Quiet Car" Program Update
Metra's "Quiet Car" Program has been in effect since June 6th. Over the past few weeks we have been working out some of the issues associated with the release of the system-wide program. Metra asks that you be patient as we address some of the concerns noted by our customers. As requested, there will be more signage on-board the "Quiet Cars." There will also be more on-board announcements on trains with "Quiet Cars." These announcements will also include a friendly reminder from the Conductor as he collects fares. Automated platform announcements regarding "Quiet Car" protocol will also be added as a reminder to passengers prior to boarding.
If a passenger is not complying with the "Quiet Car" policy, please politely remind your fellow passenger that they are in a "Quiet Car." If the passenger continues to violate the "Quiet Car" policy, trainmen are to discreetly give the passenger a "Quiet Car" business card which encourages a lowering of volume. While our goal is to keep cars as quiet as possible, passengers should not expect the car to be completely silent.
"Quiet Cars" are in effect on all weekday trains arriving in downtown terminals before 9:00 a.m. and departing downtown terminals between 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
- On trains with six or more cars, the designated Quiet Cars are the second car from the cab car and the second car from the locomotive.
- On trains with five or fewer cars, the designated Quiet Car is the second car from the engine only.
- On the Metra Electric, the third car from the south end is the designated "Quiet Car".
- There is no "Quiet Car" on trains fewer than two cars.
- Click here to see the "Quiet Car" brochure.
Passengers in Quiet Cars are asked to:
- Turn off the ringer on your cell phone and mute electronic devices.
- If passengers must answer their phones, they should make it brief or move to the vestibule or another car.
- Conversations between passengers are discouraged; If they must be held, they should be brief and in subdued voices.
- If you are using headphones, please make sure the volume is low and that it cannot be heard by other passengers.
Again, while our goal is to keep cars as quiet as possible, passengers should not expect the car to be completely silent.
As always, Metra hopes all passengers will remember to treat their fellow passengers with courtesy and respect, no matter where they are sitting.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by BeccaJCK My favorite tea This is probably my favorite tea. I can't get this near home but they usually have it at World Market or I have to order it directly from The Republic of Tea. It has a smooth vanilla almond flavor that taste as good as it smells. It is not perfumey. I wish it was still available in the decaf. December 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lovin' Life Kat The smoothest Tea Ever! I found this tea several years ago and am quite addicted. I love the smooth vanilla taste with the hint of almond. Delicious! I advise any tea lover to give it a try. May 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Deb's voice I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TEA Although I must have a "very" large mug of your Tahitian Vanilla coffee when I first get up in the morning, this is the tea I drink for the rest of the day. I brew it in the morning, then refrigerate. I do not use sweetner (real or artificial) in my coffee or tea. Most flavorful brands of both will have the added "sweet" taste component. There is nothing negative about this tea. October 4, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by artandjazz Expect more flavor I have been purchasing this tea for a very long time and I appreciate the value to a certain extent--50 tea bags for price. But over the course of time, it seems like this has lost some of its almond/vanilla flavor that attracted me in the first place. Pretty much now it just tastes like tea. Disappointing that changes seem to have been made in the blend January 5, 2015

With each passing day of summer it seems Los Angeles is getting hotter and hotter. On these sweltering days don't give in to the gelato or ice cream cravings, just take out the blender. In just a few minutes you can make an ice cold smoothie. Here's a California Chef recipe for a super healthy smoothie made exclusively with superfoods. It's only about 165 calories per serving with 14 grams of protein, and makes a great snack or grab and go breakfast.
Superfood Smoothie – one serving
½ cup Greek yogurt½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
¼ cupp raw spinach
1 tablespoons raw oatmeal
1 teaspoon almond butter
½ cup ice
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. It couldn't be any easier!
Why are these ingredients superfoods?

Full Platter:
Madonna has got to be hands down, one of the sexiest performers out there. Just when we thought her lezbehonest kiss with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera back at the 2003 MTV VMA's were sexy...she shocks us once again. This past weekend during her MDNA Tour, while performing her single "Human Nature," the 53 year-old pop queen flashed the audience her ta ta. Yupp, the citizens of Istanbul, Turkey got a whole lot of boob action that night.
No disrespect, we love that your embracing your sexy Madonna. It feels as though nip slips in your 20's in Hollywood is expected -- a 'haha' factor/look at this hot mess/"is this for attention?" moment. Although nip slips in your 40's is like PAUWSE. Did that -- Is she -- Wait... So then nip slips in your 50's is like, oh wow...that could definitely be somebody's mother. But then again, nip slips in general puts us all in panic mode or discomfort.
There has been footage released showing the performance and while most nip slips are accidental, it seems safe to say that the Material Girl intentionally exposed her goods. (Keep in mind this is somebody's mother!) She also began to unzip the side of her trousers, but that's as far as the peep show goes. Perhaps this is an act to one-up pop rival Lady Gaga? Keep Madonna young? Keep the fans on their toes? Let em know that Madonna isn't going anywhere? WHO KNOWS.
Check out the footage below and see for yourself:
What do you think about Madonna's '
Girls Moms Gone Wild' moment? An act of desperation or a typical Madonna move? Let us know, share your thoughts below and view the full story here for all the details.

Jim Gehrz, Star Tribune
Many are not shocked by the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board's decision to levy a $9,000 fine on the Minnesota House Speaker and gubernatorial candidate Margaret Anderson Kelliher and even less shocked the Minnesota DFL party was fined $15,000 for a campaign finance scam that many are calling a show of favoritism and obvious back alley political schemes that was done to bypass state law.
With a total of fifteen democrats running for Governor thus far, the field is heavy with vying for voters support. The scam Kelliher and the DFL party put together was to help Kelliher do that without a huge financial cost to her campaign for the DFL parties data base of voters. So the DFL party allowed a few Kelliher supports to route their financial contributions to a DFL voter research project that would benefit Kelliher. It is not surprising the other DFL candidates cried foul.
The Republican Party of Minnesota made the statement that this proves Kelliher is incapable of good judgment to lead the State of Minnesota. But is it not more than that? In this hard economic time does prove that Kelliher and the DFL want to keep the status quo and by keeping it Minnesotans will continue to be strapped with a tax and spend liberal that Kelliher is?
This behavior of the DFL and Kelliher smacks with the continued belief of voters that the DFL are completely out of touch with the people of Minnesota. And for fairness there are others already who also have violated campaign finance and disclosure laws. DFLer Matt Entenza was caught and fined for accepting campaign contributions from lobbyists during the legislative session, DFL Mayor R.T. Rybak was fined for using mayoral campaign funds to fund his gubernatorial campaign and even the Republican Party of Minnesota was fined for colluding with then candidate Pawlenty for TV ads.
Amazingly those who usurp the campaign finance and disclosure laws also end up being the candidates or party that is truly not looking out for Minnesotans but have their own personal agendas. With too liberal out of touch DFLers and liberal Republican DFL wannabes its no surprise the electorate is angry and demanding change.
For voters who want to get spending under control and legislation that is more based in common sense than knee jerk emotion the candidates running for governor in Minnesota are going to be even more scrutinized than ever.

TUCSON--The Arizona softball team, fresh off a 4-1 weekend in Palm Springs, will meet the Canadian National team in an exhibition doubleheader beginning at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 27.
The international competition will be followed by UA'sown?Hillenbrand Invitational this weekend, with 15 games -- five for UA -- on tap Friday through Sunday at Rita Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium.
UA, 6-4 overall, will play host to five teams in the tourney and play a game each against South Florida, Iowa State??Illinois-Chicago, Virginia Tech and New Mexico State. Each of those clubs will also meet each other during the 15-game tournament.
The Canadian Senior Women's National Team, in training for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, has played to a 7-0 record in recent weeks, including victories over Washington, Texas Tech, UTEP and Wisconsin in a pair of tournaments in Las Vegas from feb. 10-17.
After the exhibition twin bill, the Cats will play 13 consecutive home contests at Hillenbrand before a March 18 doubleheader at UTEP, and then a spring break trip to Fullerton, Calif., for the Judi Garman Classic.?
After losing a 2-1 ballgame to San Diego State in which UA stranded nine runners and wasted a 13-strikeout effort from Taryne Mowatt, the Wildcats bounced back with four consecutive victories. ?Immediately following the defeat to the Aztecs, UA jumped right on No. 10 Baylor as three of the first four Wildcat hitters hit home runs to begin a 12-0, five-inning romp.? Arizona would hit four home runs in all, with the long balls coming off the bats of Brittany Lastrapes, Sam Banister, Jenae Leles and Laine Roth. ?The next morning, UA couldnˇ?t buy a run, as it took the Wildcats and Massachusetts 13 innings to break a scoreless tie.? In the 13th, Arizona exploded for four runs thanks to a run-scoring error and a three-run, pinch-hit double from Victoria Kemp.? Although Mowatt allowed a pair of runs in the 13th, she threw 12 shutout innings and struck out 16 Minutewomen in a four-hit effort. ?The Wildcats did not have as much trouble with Long Island, whom UA dispatched with a workman-like 4-0 victory.? Freshman pitcher Lindsey Sisk tossed her second shutout in as many days, scattering four hits and allowing no walks for the second straight day. On Sunday, Arizona punctuated its weekend with a 7-4 victory over No. 6 LSU.? Brittany Lastrapes got things started with a home run to lead off the top of the first ?C the first of four Wildcat home runs in the weekend finale.? Sophomore designated player Stacie Chambers stole the show with two home runs and five RBI to break the game open against a quality non-conference opponent.

Hey you must be in the same boat as me, recently single and not sure how to get back out and date. I was told to give this a chance and so here I am.
My name is Jared and I am a proud father of two wonderful children.If you are interested in me then you will also have to be interested in them, we come as a package deal. I am looking for a spouse to help me do my part in raising these angels. I am very open to adding more kids to my family. I grew up with 4 little sisters and a brother who was lucky enough to go back and live with our Heavenly Father when we were just little. I have always wanted children and love to be around them, some would say that is because I am still a kids myself.
I have lived in Utah all of my life, except the whole two year mission thing. I love to hunt, play sports, watch sports, fish and kick it with my family. I hunt Elk every year, don't always get one but still try to. I love to fish, but weirdly enough I am allergic to fish and seafood so it is put right back in the water. My favorite sport is basketball, and I love to play and watch.
Well that is all I can come up with right now, but if I left anything out let me know and I will fill in the blanks. Look forward to talking to you soon.

text: <snip> Paul, Thanks for your assistance. Give me a bit of time, with everything else (ie. work) going on, to implement and test your recommendations (and to review some documentation). I'll post back as soon as I have something definitive. On your query on pyzor, much like razor and dcc, it is called as part of the spamassassin checks when present. These constitute the 'remote' checks that one can perform when using SA. This is why I find it curious that there were no avc messages for razor and dcc. All of these were installed when SELinux was enabled initially. Thanks again for your insights. Marc

From 7 News, May 13th, 2014
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. - Officials with the Pike National Forest are confirming that a dangerous, improvised-spike strip was found on a trail in the Rampart Range area. The strip was found on a single-track trail May 5.
"The wire spikes were buried in the trail bed so that wheeled vehicles would be damaged and unsuspecting hikers could be injured," according to officials with the Pike National Forest.

The tanks have arrived, the tanks have arrived!
Our new 600-bbl fermenting tanks began rolling into town on Tuesday, April 21st. The German-made tanks were shipped into the port of Baltimore and trucked to our Milton, Delaware brewery with police escort. Each tank had it's own big rig and the six tanks arrived over a 3 day period.
The tanks were set into place with the help of a couple cranes. Hook-up and installation is already underway. The tanks should be online as conditioning tanks in late May and will be fully automatic by mid-late fall. Each tank holds 600-bbls or 6,600 cases of beer. Together, these six tanks will hold nearly 40,000 cases of Dogfish beer and represent a 50% increase in total capcity for our brewery. In all, we have space for a total of 18 tanks this size.
The tank placement has temporarily altered our tour entrance, but we have signs posted - so just follow the directions and you'll find your way in. Concurrent with the tank project, we are also expanding our tour/tasting area, building new offices and putting in the space for a small pub. The new tour/tasting area and offices should be ready by fall. The pub is slated to open in spring of 2010.

When Arc'teryx challenged MEC to a trail building competition, we jumped at the chance to get dirty… plus we couldn't resist a little friendly competition. So on November 17, dozens of MEC staff and supporters met up with the NSMBA to dig, grub and mine for gold on the North Shore. Our goal was to build more trail than Arc'teryx over a few hours. How'd we do? Find out below. Photos by Pure Souls Media.
Mobilizing a group of 87 people at 9:30am is never easy. At the trailhead, getting people organized was a bit like herding cats – if the cats you were herding had fire rakes and were hunting down coffee. Undaunted, MEC Trail Adoption Plan coordinator Sebastian (in orange, below) got us moving and caffeinated, then asked us to grab a tool from the jumbled pile and head up the trail.
Sebastian, MEC TAP coordinator, rallies the troops
Walking through the woods, we form a long snake of red and blue GORE-TEX, orange and green coveralls, plaid flannel and fleece with a heavy concentration of moustaches (it's Movember, after all). Along with the 10am mist, bits of conversations float through the trees: plans to ride Expresso, Tuesday night trail runs, hiking up Fromme in search of a view. Further up and behind, words are muffled by the sounds of boots scuffing rocks and the cloak of hemlock, cedar and salal.
A blur of colour through the forest
From an up-slope vantage point at our build site, Mark Wood, the Program Manager for the NSMBA, starts the day talking safety. He takes us through the types of tools and how to use them so that we – and the tools we're holding – stay in one piece. It's a message he's probably delivered dozens of times before, and that some in our group have likely heard dozens of times before. Nevertheless, everyone pipes down and listens. By the end of the safety talk, even first-time trail builders know their fire rakes from pulaskis and their McLeods from mattocks.
Mark Wood doing his thing on the NSMBA's biggest ever trail day
"Alright, let's get eight people with fire rakes, eight people with McLeods, a couple with shovels and pulaskis, and follow Terry," Mark begins divvying our crew into more manageable groups of about 20, each one headed up by a build leader and designated their own section. It takes a few minutes to sort ourselves out, and the tool you're holding pretty much dictates your role for next hour or so.
Tools and builders ready to dig
Small pink squares flag our route, marking the switchbacks of what will become the Skid Road re-route. When the re-route is done, it'll be a multi-purpose trail and a sustainable solution to the old Skid Road, an eroded trail leftover from forestry days. Back then, things like water diversion and long-term use weren't part of trail building – not the case on the Shore anymore. Now trails are made to last, while keeping the forest experience and treading as lightly as possible. Attention to environmental care and sustainable trail building practices are key to the NSMBA.
Following the flagging
Crew with fire rakes start clearing a 2.5ft. corridor of logs, salal and branches, sticking to Mark's "keep it tight, keep it right" philosophy. Following behind are people with McLeods, pulling back more duff to expose what we're hunting for: North Shore gold. This golden-coloured mineral soil sheds water and packs down hard, so it's prime trail material. In some spots, we uncover platinum-coloured soil, evidence of ashy deposits from a forest fire. In other spots, the duff doesn't reveal anything but more duff. We grub and scrounge for rocks to fill these spaces so that the trail can support hikers, bikers, dog walkers and trail runners without dissolving into mud.
Denver awaits further building instructions
Soon, groups start splitting into other duties. Some are scooping shovelfuls of gold from a nearby "gold mine" into five-gallon buckets. Others are ferrying buckets from the mine to the trail, a short distance that seems longer when your bucket is full to the brim. Like real gold, this stuff is heavy. When break-time bananas appear, the shovels go down. (If you ever want to boost your ego, volunteer to be a snack runner on trail day.)
MEC crew heading up for another load of gold
A small stereo gets plunked down at one of the switchbacks, and "Keep me searching for a heart of gold…" starts playing. Seriously? It's like Neil Young has our backs as we shovel, carry, pour and shape gold soil. Soon the trail transforms in front of us, becoming a thin rich-coloured ribbon.
Shaping the trail is one of the last phases, and a favourite step for some experienced builders. MEC Biking Envoy Stephen Matthews says this is what he likes best on trail days, as he gets to visualize what the trail's going to look like and what it's going to feel like to ride.
A thin ribbon of well-shaped gold
After a final 15-minute flurry of bucket assembly lines, we're done for the day. But before grabbing tools and heading down to the post-build barbeque, a few of us walk the whole new, fern-lined section. It's kind of astonishing to see what other people have been working on and just how much got done in a few hours. That's one of the cool parts of trail building – you're so focussed on your own section that you're oblivious to what's happening up or down from you until the day's done.
MEC CEO David Labistour and crew head back at the end of the day
Keeping everyone fed is a big part of many trail days, and the people that weren't digging were supporting the builders by dishing out snacks, firing up the barbeque, and having lunch ready to go as soon as we arrive back at the trailhead. The crew demolishes potato salad and sausages, oranges and brownies. Even though everyone's coated in dirt and we're huddled under tents in heavy rain, there's a good vibe. "I've never been to a trail day where there's a negative atmosphere," Stephen Matthews says before he leaves. "Everyone's just here to help." It's funny how that works. Shovelling heavy stuff for hours isn't usually considered fun, but the sense of satisfaction that rises up when you walk the length of trail at the end of the day makes every heavy bucket of gold totally worth it.
Solid job on a solid trail
And as for the trail building competition? The NSMBA judges walked the two new sections to look at factors like drainage, naturalization, quality, length, and the overall finished product… and we're proud to announce that MEC won top trail building honours in this competition.
In the end, though, it was really a win-win event for the trail system on the North Shore. We hope you have as much fun riding, hiking, and running it as we did building it.
The Skid Road re-route is expected to open in spring 2014. Keep an eye on the NSMBA website for exact dates.
