My PDX show 5/5 with Prolyphic. (now with reviews)
Portland, OR is the only city I had to cancel on my last national tour back in 2010. That was due to my father's passing and I had to fly from the west coast to the east coast and then back to the west coast again.
A lot of people from Portland complained to me about it as if I was somehow wrong for inconveniencing them with that cancellation. I not so secretly wanted to choke them out.
I did a make up show there a year later and it was the worst attendance I've ever had in Portland.
NOW...this show pretty much will determine whether I fucks with it or not moving forward.
@ Alhambra Theatre
Sage Francis, Prolyphic and more.

Oh, and here's a fun review that had me laughing out loud in a couple different parts. Written by Carrie Johnston:
In his fourteen-year career as a rapper, Sage Francis has garnered fans through clever navigation of language around topics ranging from personal anguish and societal distrust, to being awkward around girls. His DIY approach has kept those fans loyal since making his first recordings out of his apartment in Providence, Rhode Island in 1999. After working with the big labels for the middle section of his career, he has gone back to his homemade label, Strange Famous.
Thankfully, Sages success has not catapulted him through the roof of fame and fortune. He is still essentially on the floor of that Rhode Island apartment, making music, booking tours, and embracing social media as a means to connect with fans. And I mean, really connecting. There are dozens of threads on his Facebook page and Twitter account revealing conversations with friends, fans, and passers-by alike. Sage seemingly has no bias against which people he engages with, provided its genuine. But his affections arent limited to behind-the-computer-screen small talk. After his show at the Alhambra Theater, he descended into the crowd offering hugs and handshakes to anyone within arms reach. He also made time to (affectionately) embarrass the girl who had begged him to squeeze this particular show into the tour roster by gushing and pointing at her between songs. Essentially, this is what draws fans to his music; it reaches out.
After two opening acts that buttered the audience oh so well, Sage made his entrance without fanfare. Dressed in a black and white gown and a flag bearing his labels name, he commenced Sea Lion, an old favorite that most of the crowd chanted along with. Periodically, Sage would splice in samples of classic songs like Mr. Misters Take These Broken Wings and Swingtown by Steve Miller Band so we could all karaoke for a moment before he dropped back into the original track.
Perhaps his motive here (and to provide some unnecessary analysis to an act that was more likely just a goofball antic) was to move the attention away from the man and toward the message, which varyingly celebrates joys like classic rock and condemns sorrows like war and arrogant rappers. Although his songs often revolve around grim topics, Sage was careful to never let things get too dire. To aid this aim, he brought a paper bag full of broccoli crowns to share with us, and romantically serenaded his exalted sneakers. He was also loaded with quips; one particular zinger was in reference to Portlandias famous Put a bird on it skit (https://vine.co/v/b2mjZjWp6uA), to which we were instructed to laugh uproariously (the brilliance being in that this was the least funny thing he did).
Self mockery is a trait thats consistently woven into his songs, even the dismal ones about childhood, masochistic siblings, and deception. Take the chorus to his autobiographical song, Different Im different! Ooooooh! So different! Ooooooh! His sense of fearless self-expression is the reason Personal Journals became an album that his fans listened to so much in 2005, it should have warped like an oven-baked vinyl record. And we come back to it every year since its always just as powerful. His live shows, as I was delighted to discover, are a pure extension of his records.

Six Companies Win the 2007 Green Power Supplier Awards
October 22, 2007
DOE recognized six companies on October 22nd for their work for advancing and developing the use of green power—electricity from renewable energy sources. The winners of the 2007 Green Power Supplier Awards are: Constellation NewEnergy; 3Degrees; Sterling Planet; SunEdison; Pacific Power and Rocky Mountain Power; and Silicon Valley Power. The DOE Green Power Supplier Awards, co-sponsored by the DOE and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, are designed to recognize organizations that advance the nation's green power markets through their green power programs. The combined green power provided by all six winners equals more than 5 billion kilowatt-hours per year, which is enough to power nearly 465,000 average U.S. households. The winners were announced at the Seventh Annual Green Power Leadership Awards in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The awards fall under three sub-categories. Constellation NewEnergy, a national energy marketer, won in the New Green Power Program or Product category for providing green power to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission in the District of Columbia. In the Renewable Energy Marketer category, the winners were all national marketers: 3Degrees and Sterling Planet, both of which sell renewable energy certificates, and SunEdison, a solar energy company. Silicon Valley Power, the municipal utility for Santa Clara, California, won under the Green Power Program of the Year category, as did two PacifiCorp subsidiaries—Pacific Power and Rocky Mountain Power. Those two utilities won for their Blue Sky program, which is offered in California, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The 2007 Green Power Leadership Awards also honored leading green power purchasers, market developers, and pioneers. See the DOE press release and the 2007 Green Power Leadership Awards Web page.
Throughout the country, more than half of all U.S. electricity customers have an option to purchase some type of green power product from a retail electricity provider. Roughly one-quarter of the nation's utilities now offer green power programs to customers, and voluntary retail sales of renewable energy in the United States totaled more than 12 billion kilowatt-hours in 2006, a 40% increase over the previous year. For more information on green power, see DOE's Green Power Network Web site.

This is the last part of this series on the Jim Harbaugh/49ers Semi-Emergency Re-Evaluation, and yes this has gone on far too long. Even I can admit that. Have to admit that.
So, in a surprise bonus double-item to hurriedly close this 30-year, 72,000-word project, let's lead off with my grand, long-range compromise solution to the tension triangle of Harbaugh, Baalke and owner Jed York and then I'll jam in my short-list for candidates to theoretically replace Harbaugh.
If you believe the latest Harbaugh-49ers bubble was mostly a case of brinksmanship by both sides (the 49ers implicitly dared Harbaugh to tell them he wanted out, Harbaugh implicitly dared them to tell him they wanted him out, both stood down—for now)... and I do...
Then I have a proposal to settle it all.
Harbaugh is oh-so-willing to bet on himself, we know that. He's in some way suggesting, I'll make my money when I win big here, because I have and I will, and if you won't pay me then, somebody else absolutely will.
It's absolutely something to respect about him, though it can make things a little dodgy on a day-to-day basis if you're running a franchise for the long-term.
So if you're the 49ers and you have a coach who is hell-bent on making every day a challenge... and you want to win a Super Bowl more than anything, whatever the headache... what do you do?
Here's what: Meet Harbaugh's bet on himself with the 49ers' betting on themselves as a destination franchise.
If I'm York and I want to clear the air—and put a lot of things at risk and electrify the 2014 season even more, what the hell—I'd offer to give Harbaugh the right to bolt after the season... free and clear of any original contractural obligations... with two stipulations:
* There will be no further negotiations on a new deal until after the 2014 season, when, per this compromise, he will be allowed to be a total free agent; this is an agreement to GUARANTEE he hits the market in February 2015;
* If the 49ers win the Super Bowl, they have the right to extend this deal for one more year and only one more year at $10M—double his original salary and it would be the highest salary in football.
That's as clear as I can make it, because all sides hate lame-duck situations why not make it a double-lame-duck situation to even it out?
This would be Harbaugh betting on himself, whether he wins the Super Bowl or not. (And he already is.)
And it'd be the 49ers betting that A) they can win the Super Bowl, which means they can keep Harbaugh afterwards, and B) if everything doesn't work out perfectly and they want to keep Harbaugh, they're talented enough and attractive enough that Harbaugh would want to stay even among other bidding teams.
If he doesn't want to stay through all this—and that's possible—should the 49ers force him to stay? No.
Of course, if they do what I'm suggesting and slice off the final year of his deal, they lose the ability of trying to trade him after next season; but I think at that point, you don't want to be the team that trades a talented coach, you want to be the team that the talented coach wants to actually still coach.
And if the 49ers aren't sure they want to keep him past 2014—which is also very possible—should Harbaugh's contract force them to keep him through 2015? Not really.
If the 49ers are as good as we think they are—and surely as they think they are—they should have the confidence to go out and find another coach, like they found Harbaugh, if Harbaugh wants to go elsewhere.
That's my double-brinksmanship suggestion. I think the two sides would dislike it in many facets and like it in a few facets and they'd both dislike it in about equal fervor, which, after all, is sort of the point.
I know it won't happen, but that's the fun of suggesting it.
Earlier, I drew up a short-list for candidates to replace Baalke, if it came to that.
It's time to come up with a a short-list of candidates if it ever came down to replacing Harbaugh (if he wants to go and the 49ers let him go, which is how I think it'll happen at some point down the road)...
it would be a tough PR job. There would be a ton of pressure on the selection process—as much pressure as any coaching hire in a long, long time. But I think there are some strong names to consider.
-First, some realistic pre-conditions on the 49ers looking for a coach after Harbaugh...
1) The potential candidate has to be talented, experienced and a close a fit as possible to the 49ers' physical philosophy and ready to immediately step in and joust with the Seahawks;
2) It would help if the candidate has previous ties to the 49ers since York likes to hire familiar people for large jobs;
3) It would really help if the candidate had a good handle on the QB position—Harbaugh's expertise, which would be lost in some part when Harbaugh walks out the door and needs to be replaced;
4) The potential candidate has to be ready to handle the heat of walking into the highest-profile job in the NFL because Harbaugh made it that and Harbaugh has set some very high standards (for winning, for charisma, for aggression).
If it happened like this, the 49ers job after Harbaugh would be an incredible pressure-cooker. Essentially, you either keep things together and make a run to the Super Bowl or you will be judged an utter failure in the wake of Harbaugh's success.
Last side note: I see too many 49ers fans making the simplistic argument: Well, the 49ers were lousy with Mike Singletary and very good with Harbaugh, so that means they'll go right back to mediocrity without Harbaugh.
That presumes the 49ers would hire another coach as limited as Singletary... and umm... why would they?
Obviously they could screw up the hire, under this kind of pressure. But there are many candidates that I would safely put in a category above Singletary—even before we've seen them spend one practice as the 49ers HC.
Nobody can totally replace Jim Harbaugh. He's one of a kind. But here are some names of how the 49ers might try to do it a little bit of a different way when and once his time has come and gone.
A hypothetical 49ers short-list of coaches who could follow Jim Harbaugh after the 2014 season:
1. Jim Tomsula, 49ers defensive line coach and 1-0 as the interim coach in 2010. He'd be the fail-safe automatic finalist, the known-quantity good guy beloved by the rank and file and management that York will automatically put into the finals and then measure against whoever else emerges.
I know this: 49ers execs firmly believes if they'd just fired Singletary 1 game earlier in 2010, and installed Tomsula for Game 15, instead of only for Game 16, they probably would've made the playoffs that season and been dangerous in them. (But with Troy Smith at QB?)
If the 49ers whittle down their other list and still have qualms about the final 2 or 3 coaches, and it's an unclear mish-mash, they probably would be heavily inclined to double back to Tomsula, at least for the short term, to get the most out of the players they have right now.
2. Greg Roman, 49ers offensive coordinator. If he presents a big-picture template for the future of the 49ers in a theoretical head-coach interview, Roman is the likeliest guy to land the theoretical gig very quickly.
He obviously is a known quantity in 49ersland, he'd run the same offensive scheme, he isn't nearly as temperamental as Harbaugh, he has proven skills handling QBs and there would be no problem with continuity with Colin Kaepernick.
Would 49ers fans be totally on board with a Roman hire? Nope. But Roman has the chance to pull off the double-whammy: Good with schematic/personnel continuity and good with QBs.
3. David Shaw, Stanford coach. He'd have to be the top off-staff choice, if he'd be interested in following Harbaugh again and at all interested in leaving Stanford any time soon.
A key point: Shaw can provide some system continuity AND push it further, as he has done at Stanford. (Harbaugh never won the conference at Stanford. Shaw has done it twice in three seasons.)
Another key point: Shaw is a far more accomplished personnel evaluator than Harbaugh (in my opinion and in many others'), so I'm not sure if that would help his desire or chances for the 49ers job; I think when and if Shaw goes to the NFL, he'll want and get some major personnel power, the same way Chip Kelly and Pete Carroll got it... and Harbaugh did not.
But I would strongly guess that Shaw, if he ever moves, wouldn't mind staying in the Bay Area. Put this in the "must give him a call at least" category.
4. Vic Fangio, 49ers defensive coordinator. Fangio is almost as valuable as Harbaugh to this team because he runs the defense without interference and yeah, the defense is pretty good.
And Fangio might be possibly harder to replace, so I'm sure the 49ers would almost certainly stack up a lot of cash to try to keep him in charge of that defense. What if Fangio tells them he'd only stay if he's made HC (same as when Stanford chose Shaw in 2011)?
That would be an interesting decision for the 49ers.
5. Jon Gruden, currently ESPN "Monday Night Football" analyst and former Raiders and Tampa Bay coach. Would the 49ers tap another high-priced drama king right after going through multiple seasons of that with Harbaugh? Tough to see.
But Gruden loves to get his name into these big-time searches and this would be a huge one—he probably won't get back into the NFL unless he has a team as ready-made as the 49ers. This obviously would be a home-run PR hire for the 49ers.
And Gruden is an offensive guru... though I'd say if I'm over-paying for a QB-handler, I'd rather over-pay Harbaugh than Gruden.
Still, Gruden definitely caught my attention recently when Gruden casually mentioned on ESPN that, if he hypothetically coached Johnny Manziel, he'd install a system very much like what the 49ers are doing now.
6. Former Super Bowl-winning coach category, leading with Bill Cowher.
You have to respect Cowher's accomplishments and I believe the 49ers like him a lot and would probably poke around and check his interest. But Cowher has been out for a while, maybe for too long.
-I'd put Tony Dungy in this category, too. Mike Shanahan has been active coaching the Redskins, but his behavior at the end there has displayed some disconnect with the modern player's mentality.
-After his Cleveland executive tenure, I would not put Mike Holmgren in this category any more.
7. Brad Seely, 49ers special teams coordinator/assistant head coach. Seely is Harbaugh's most trusted game-situation lieutenant, a big-picture guy with credibility throughout the organization.
But as the guy replacing Harbaugh? That'd be a tricky one. Maybe if Roman and Fangio both sign-on as continuity coordinators under Seely... and I don't think that'd happen.
8. Josh McDaniels, New England offensive coordinator and former Denver head coach. If Harbaugh hadn't taken the 49ers' final offer in 2011, I believe McDaniels was going to be their next option. So his name could come up again.
9. Other college coach category, starting with Texas A&M leader Kevin Sumlin, Gus Malzahn, Jim Mora, Jr., Al Golden.
The 49ers hit gold going the college route last time and Kelly has been good to start in Philadelphia, straight from Oregon. So I would guess York and Baalke would sift through the best names in the college game.
The problem: They don't come cheap and if it's not Shaw, the 49ers are not likely to know any top college coach anywhere as well as they knew Harbaugh in 2011.
10. Pete Carroll, Seattle head coach. Wouldn't that be hilarious? If Carroll's name at all came across the 49ers' desk, in any serious way, it'd just be the best.
If you want to play supreme hardball with Harbaugh, you keep this option as open as you can and you let Harbaugh know you're keeping it open.
How could this happen? Well, if Carroll doesn't sign a new deal this off-season, his contract would be up in February 2015. Yes, it would. He'd be 63 then, but... still.
And he grew up in the Bay Area. OK, this is extremely/highly/nearly impossible, but you want names, I'm throwing out names. Hypothetically.

A Look at Case-Shiller by Metro Area
Home prices extended a winning streak of year-over-year gains, though the rate of increase may have peaked, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller indexes.
The composite 20-city home price index, a key gauge of U.S. home prices, was up 12.4% in July from a year earlier. All 20 cities have posted year-over-year gains for seven straight months. Dallas and Denver both reached levels not seen since before the recession hit in December 2007.
Prices in the 20-city index were 1.8% higher than the prior month. Adjusted for seasonal variations, which reflect a traditional stronger spring and summer selling season, prices were 0.6% higher month-over-month. No city posted a monthly decline, though on a seasonally adjusted basis priced were lower in Cleveland and Minneapolis.
Even as mortgage rates rise, many economists expect price gains to continue, though they may moderate. "The story here, we think, is simply that the rise in rates has deterred some proportion of would-be homebuyers, at a time when inventory has started to rise," said Ian Shepherdson at Pantheon Macroeconomics. "Sellers have had to respond, so price gains are slowing. This process is likely not over yet."

Trees illegally cut at Percy Priest Lake
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - State wildlife officials are looking for individuals who illegally cut down trees at Percy Priest Lake.
Reports indicate Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency officers recently found 24 Bald Cypress trees cut down by chainsaws.
The trees are the property of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and removing them violates federal law.
Officials say the individuals who cut down the trees then sank them in the lake to use as fish attractors.
Bald Cypress trees, which are a member of the redwood family, can grow to 120 feet. TWRA reservoir biologists plant the water-tolerant trees near lakes to help keep the shoreline intact and minimize erosion.

You guessed it, the return of WORK NIGHTS. Starting this week we wll have work night every Wednesday. If you have time I could certainly use your help.
Wed april 11, 2012
Project list.
1. Fill long pin placements withtop soil and grass seed (no the other kind of grass allthough that would encourage a few of you to come out and help).
2. Box in high errosion tee pads and fill with crushed rock.
3. Replace hole 13 tee pad (this is a special project for gvcc crew details provided later)
4. Albert Valverde branch on hole 14 - bring your climbing gear.
As most of you know gv is getting used and abused and if we don't get these projects done the course is going to be in bad shape. We will only be working on item 1 this week and I need 5-6 people to step up. Let me know if you can make it out to help.

ALAMEDA -- The chain of events that led to Rolando McClain's dispute with coach Dennis Allen included the linebacker being informed of his demotion to being a backup and special teams player.
McClain was back on the field Wednesday for the first time since Nov. 28, the day he was told to leave practice by Allen and later given a two-game suspension without pay for conduct detrimental to the team.
"Rolando and I met this morning," Allen said after practice. "I laid out exactly what expectations are for him moving forward. Really, that's about it. Rolando's part of this team, and we're going to move on."
Asked how much McClain would play Sunday against Kansas City, Allen said, "Where we were at before the suspension is that he was going to fill a backup role and work on special teams. That's where we're at, and we'll see where we are on game day."
Omar Gaither continued to get the work at middle linebacker in the 4-3 defense. McClain had been taken off the nickel defense in favor of Miles Burris after four games.
McClain was not available for comment, and Allen declined to get into specifics about the suspension or events leading up to it.
Asked why the Raiders simply didn't cut McClain, as they have Pat Lee and Ron Bartell when they lost their starting jobs, Allen said, "Just different circumstances."
As for disparaging comments made on McClain's Facebook page about the organization (which were later taken down), Allen said, "Things get said in the heat of the moment, and we've got to move on."
Gaither said it was business as usual for McClain on the field.
"Same old, same old," Gaither said. "He wasn't disruptive or anything. It was all good."
In a recent interview with The Game (95.7-FM), Bartell said of McClain, "Believe it or not he's a really good guy. ... He just needs to grow up, to be quite frank."
In addition to new, unwrapped toys, monetary donations will be accepted.
Running backs Darren McFadden and Marcel Reece, tight end Brandon Myers and Burris will sign autographs in exchange for new, unwrapped toy donations valued at $20 or more at the Raider Image at Hayward's Southland Mall on Monday from 6 p.m.-8 p.m.

If, like Frasier Crane, your grandmother ended her evenings with sips of sweet cream sherry, she would be sad to learn this area of the Spanish wine market is in decline.
The booming area is fine sherry: The dry, aged -- yet remarkably affordable -- wine is blowing up New York's wine bars and hottest restaurant wine lists. And, since the beloved Seattle psychiatrist had a penchant for fine wines, we remain hopeful that he was swirling fino and manzanilla in at least half of those "Frasier" episodes.
However, modern credit for sherry's upswing might actually belong to a Champagne guy. Peter Liem, a former editor at Wine & Spirits magazine and founder of www.champagneguide.net, fell in love with sherry's complexity and food-friendliness about 20 years ago.
Like many in the wine cognoscenti, Liem would declare, year after year, that this great forgotten wine was finally going to experience its due renaissance. Two years ago, Liem took a chance and organized Sherryfest, the first large-scale sherry tasting outside of Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
Sherryfest blew up New York City and later, Toronto and Portland, Oregon. With imports increasing -- big houses such as González Byass say shipments to the U.S. have increased threefold in the past decade -- sherry has finally arrived. Now Sherryfest is heading to San Francisco for the first time, with a free grand tasting of more than 100 sherries June 18 and seminars and bodega-themed dinners sprinkled throughout the week. Wait -- free?
"We want to make sherry accessible to as many people as we can," Liem says. "The best possible way to experience sherry is to pair it with food, and we think that our sherry dinners represent tremendous value, particularly considering the caliber of the restaurants involved, like Bar Agricole and Central Kitchen. However, we also want to encourage people to taste a wide and diverse variety of sherries, and we're pleased to offer an unparalleled opportunity to do this in the form of the grand tasting."
Liem says in the past two years sherry has risen to become "the hottest wine in New York" thanks to forward-thinking sommeliers and restaurant wine directors looking for something different to entice young, wine-curious customers. San Francisco could be next.
"For so long, sherry, if it's been thought of at all, has been an accompaniment to Spanish food, sort of like sake in Japanese restaurants," says Liem, co-author of 2012's "Sherry, Manzanilla and Montilla" (Manutius). He launched www.sherryguide.net that same year. "This is the first time it has found a foothold with sommeliers and wine directors who don't own Spanish restaurants. You can get ridiculously complex wine of old age for a fraction of the price of other fine wines. And that allows people to really explore."
Don't know what to pair with tonight's fish special? When in doubt, fino and manzanilla go with almost everything, even so-called wine killers, such as artichokes and asparagus, Liem says. That's because of the flor, a film of yeast that lies on top of the wine during fermentation and transforms it in specific ways, he explains.
"It consumes a lot of elements in the wine, including glycerin, volatile acidity and alcohol," he says. "It also imparts particular flavors, so you get very little fruit and much more savory umami. And that becomes amplified with the right foods." Even when a sherry ticks up to 15 percent alcohol, it can still be light, refreshing and lovely with food: "something chilled that you can sip on a hot summer day," Liem says.
If you attend Sherryfest and delve into the old and established world of Jerez de la Frontera, you might pick up on new trends, too, such as the increasingly popular practice of producing sherries en rama, or raw, with minimal filtration and clarification.
"Commercial finos and manzanillas are filtered heavily, but these are richer in aroma and deeper in color," Liem says. "They taste more like what they do in cask."
Barbadillo, a bodega that has been producing sherry since 1821, was the first to release a sherry en rama in 1999. But the style has caught on in a big way in the past five years, Liem says. "It relates to an overriding trend in the wine world to offer a wine that has preserved its authenticity of character and tastes closer to its roots."

Sf sherryfest
The free Grand Tasting will be from 2 to 4 p.m. on June 18 at Bluxome Street Winery in San Francisco, where representatives from 21 bodegas will be pouring more than 100 sherries. Over the course of four days (June 17 to 20), you can also attend bodega-hosted dinners featuring Bar Agricole and Central Kitchen or seminars on sherry history and production. Tickets for those events can be purchased at www.sherryfest.com.

Denver Post: George Gwozdecky firing as hockey coach at DU both ill timed, baffling
I got the word while driving a back road in New Hampshire during a brief holiday, on a tweet that I thought was a prank. Ha ha, DU fired the guy who has guided the team to an NCAA current record 12 consecutive 20-win seasons, with two national championships in the past nine years. Good one!

Perry and Dewhurst will be sworn in at 11 a.m. on Jan. 18 on the south steps of the Capitol.
A barbecue lunch follows.
Both the swearing in ceremony and the lunch are free, but preregistration is required for the barbecue.

Holiday Overview
Holiday Overview
- Descend to the sea through the spectacular Samaria Gorge
- Trek to Pachnes the highest peak in the White Mountains
- Discover hidden beaches on the coastal walk from Agia Roumeli
- Traditional accommodation and excellent Cretan food
A stunning Mediterranean island walking holiday adventure trekking the delights of the White Mountains of Crete. Our trekking holiday to the White Mountains of Crete savours a special blend of the high mountain scenery of Crete, picturesque coastal walking, traditional villages and legendary Greek hospitality. From the mountain hamlet of Omalos, our first objective is walking to the summit of Gingilos (1980m), a rocky peak which provides spectacular views across the White Mountains and a bird's eye perspective of our next day's route, which takes us down to the Mediterranean via the famous Samaria Gorge. We then spend 2 nights at Agia Roumeli, a pretty collection of tavernas accessible only by walking or by boat, with the option of a rest day on the beach or a variety of day trekking excursions. Following sun-kissed shoreline and cliff-side pathway, our next day's walking in Crete takes us to Marmara beach and the charming, white painted seaside hamlet of Finix. From a hotel base here, the trekking leads us up to Pachnes (2453m), the highest peak in the 'Lefka Ori' and then completes the circular hike via the impressive Aradena Gorge and the pretty village of Anopolis. Fall under the spell of the White Mountains on this walking holiday on the beautiful Mediterranean island of Crete!
Is this holiday for you?
The whole point of this walking holiday is to escape from the tourist traps of northern Crete and to enjoy the magic and tranquility of the southern coastline. Although we are sure to get plenty of sun, experience isolated beaches and sample superb Greek cooking, this is first and foremost a holiday for walkers. Many tourists each year manage to walk the Samaria Gorge. But, we are also going to climb the rocky peak of Gingilos, as well as Pachnes, the highest mountain in the area. We average 5 to 7 hours walking each day, with average ascents and descents of around 700 metres per day. The underfoot conditions are generally good, following tracks and trails and long sections of well-maintained pathway. During the ascents of Gingilos and Pachnes, however, we will also encounter open scree and cross rocky terrain with no discernable track. This holiday is suitable for the average weekend hiker, looking for tranquility and sun. Be prepared for a unique Greek experience.

Meet at the group hotel in Omalos. Afternoon and evening transfers from Chania Airport are provided. The first transfer will be at around 1400 hrs and the second at 2200 hrs. KE Land Only package services start with this transfer. The local guide will meet the first of the transfers and accompany the group on the one hour transfer to the former summer settlement of Omalos. This is a spectacular drive along narrow winding roads that take us up into the foothills of the White Mountains. The few tavernas which make up the settlement of Omalos are situated on a level and fertile grazing area amongst rocky limestone peaks. We spend the next 2 nights at the Hotel Exari, a friendly family-run establishment with comfortable rooms and an excellent restaurant, which is popular with Chania residents at weekends.

From the head of the Samaria Gorge, walk to the top of rocky Gingilos (1980m). Return to Omalos.
After breakfast a 10 minute transfer takes us to the end of the road and the start of the famous trek down the Samaria Gorge. But, we will save the gorge walk for tomorrow. Today, we will climb Gingilos (1980m) the impressive mountain which towers above the start of the gorge. Following a rough, but way-marked footpath, it's a steady climb for an hour and a half to a year-round spring. After an obligatory stop to top-up our water bottles, a zig-zag path leads in 45 minutes to a rocky col, which affords views of the Libyan Sea to the south. Above the col the path becomes slightly more challenging, with some short and easy sections of scrambling. Less than an hour from the col takes us to a rounded summit, complete with prominent cairn. From here, there are superb views right across the whole of the White Mountains massif to distant Pachnes, the highest mountain in the range and our goal in a few days time. Nearer to hand is a rocky crest which is the true summit of Gingilos, just 5 metres higher than the cairned summit. It is an optional 15 minute scramble across to this point. Returning by the same route, this is a classic day out in the mountains. We stay a second night at the Hotel Exari in Omalos.

We don't want too early a start this morning, as we are keen to miss the crowds of tourists who arrive early morning by bus from the resorts of the northern coast to walk down the extremely popular Samaria Gorge. This is the longest ravine in Europe and arguably the most spectacular. Our baggage is taken down to Sougia and by ferry from there to Agia Roumeli, whilst we take the short transfer to Xiloskala (1250m) a viewpoint overlooking the start of the gorge. Here, we chill out in a cafe bar which overlooks the descent path and then, in the late morning, after a final cup of coffee, we set off on our walk. By this time, the area is usually deserted. For the first 2 kilometres of the walk, we descend dramatically via a path that leads to the bottom of the upper gorge. The peaks of Gingilos and Volakias tower above us, as gigantic walls of rock, whilst on our left-hand side the White Mountains extend vividly to the east. The small chapel of Agios Nikolaos, nestling among pines and cypresses, signals the start of a more gentle descent and soon we reach the old hamlet of Samaria which marks the half way stage. From here, the path twists and turns in places, passing Saint Mary's Church, which has the date 1379 over the doorway. We soon reach the narrowest part of the gorge, the famous 'Portes' (Gates). Here, the rock architecture is amazing, with the walls soaring vertically upwards for 500 metres on either side of the path. The final few kilometres bring us to the welcome sight of the remote seaside village of Agia Roumeli and the Libyan Sea. Arriving in the late afternoon, we find that the vast majority of the people who have walked the gorge have already departed from Agia Roumeli on a succession of ferries, which sail either westwards to Sougia or eastwards to Hora Sfakion. Once they have gone, Agia Roumeli returns to its tranquil self, nestling between wild mountains and the deep blue sea. This is the hidden Crete that most tourists never experience. Whilst in Agia Roumeli, we stay at a comfortable hotel and take our evening meals at the quite excellent Artemis Restaurant.

Free day at Agia Roumeli. Optional walks to a number of ancient Turkish forts.
Until the first of the day's walkers make their way down the gorge, which is usually not until mid afternoon, Agia Roumeli is the perfect Cretan hideaway and the perfect spot to relax for the day. A small clean pebbly beach lies in front of the village and is an excellent spot for swimming. Alternatively, a short walk to the east leads to an even quieter beach that stretches for miles. For those who are keen to do some exercise, there is a choice of possible walks from Agia Roumeli. The clearly visible Turkish fort above the village can be reached in 45 minutes and a decent path to the north leads to the old settlement of Agia Roumeli, providing an easy 2 hour circuit. Longer walking options include the ascent to Papoura, a beautiful spot 900 metres (3000 feet) above the village. It is a steep climb of 3 to 4 hours to reach Papoura, but the rewards are great views of the coast, the mountains and the Samaria Gorge from above. There are also a couple of ruined Turkish forts on the 600 metre high spur to the east of the valley. These can be accessed by ascending a ridge above the old part of Agia Roumeli or (more easily) from the Eligas Gorge to the east. After the day's tourists have departed, we will enjoy a peaceful night at our hotel and have another opportunity to sample the famous Cretan food at the Artemis Restaurant.

Coastal walk through pine forest and by way of the chapel of Agios Pavlos. Overnight in Finix Bay.
The walk from Agia Roumeli to Finix starts along a delightful coastal path. Leaving Agia Roumeli in the cool of the early morning we walk on a way-marked path, crossing beaches, wandering through pine trees and along stunning sea cliffs. A pleasant spot for a break and a swim is at the small Byzantine church of Saint Paul. This is the spot where Saint Paul is said to have landed on Crete on his voyage to Greece. Decorated with murals, this historic church by the sea is engaged in a continual battle against the waves. Beyond this remote church the path climbs above the beach and eventually leaves the pine forest, continuing through a more barren area between the Libyan sea and a barrier of cliffs until it descends to the beach of Marmara at the entrance to the Aradena Gorge. We have another opportunity for a swim (and for a drink in the simple beach cafe) before continuing towards the Finix peninsula. We stop on the western side in the bay of Finix, just short of the village of Loutro, and stay at the Old Phoenix Hotel, a small family-run hotel overlooking the sea.

Drive up into the White Mountains and walk to the top of Pachnes (2453m) before returning to Finix.
Today we will hike to the top of Pachnes (2453m) the highest summit in the White Mountains. By a height of just 4 metres, Pachnes is not the highest mountain in Crete. Timios Stavros in the Ida Mountains is slightly higher. However, this is arguably, the best mountain walk in Crete. Although Pachnes is not a technically difficult mountain, it is rarely climbed, since the walk to its summit involves a long day. There are also logistical transport problems associated with the ascent and this means it is almost never offered as a guided route. We start out by driving up to the mountain village of Anopolis and onwards for around 20 kilometres in the back of a pickup truck, following a rough and remote track to an altitude of 1950 metres. Then, starting our walk through the weird lunar landscape of Crete's high desert region, we reach the summit after 2 hours. On a clear day, the summit views extend over half the island. With a bit of luck we may be accompanied by griffon and bearded vultures and even golden eagles. After signing the summit book, we will make a decision about our route back to the drop-off point. The prevailing weather conditions, as well as the aspirations of the group, will dictate whether we return by the same route or go off to do some exploring of this high desert area and then wind our way back through sinkholes and other smaller summits. We return to Finix by pickup truck after a brilliant day out, with simply unforgettable views.

Walk via Marmara Beach and the Aradena Gorge to the shepherds village of Anopolis. Return to Finix
Our final day's trekking is a circular route, starting with a short backtrack of the coastal route to the beach at Marmara. From here, we head inland into the impressive depths of the Aradena Gorge. Although this is not as big as the Samaria Gorge, it is just as spectacular and much quieter. If anything, the underfoot conditions are slightly harder, with a series of easy scrambles across several rockfalls. It will take us 3 hours to reach the ancient village of Aradena, the last part of the walk involving an interesting (and ancient) paved pathway that zig-zags out of the gorge. We will be able to look around the ruined village and hopefully get a coca cola at the kiosk cafe at this spectacular gorge viewpoint. Here, the gorge is just 30 metres wide and has been spanned by a metal bridge. The view from the bridge into the depths of the gorge is breathtaking. From here, we hike across country, following an old, cobbled road through the rough fields of an impressive limestone plateau, to reach the pretty village of Anopolis, where we stop to take lunch at a taverna. After lunch, we stroll across to the clifftop chapel of Agia Katarini, which is an excellent place to watch griffon vultures as they soar along the edge of the plateau. We then drop down on a rough track back to Finix. We enjoy a celebratory meal in the evening to end a special holiday.

A Typical Day
A support vehicle or ferry will transport the group's personal equipment to our next overnight stop. During the day's walk, we will carry a daysack which is large enough to pack a light weight fleece, towel and swimwear, water bottle, packed lunch and other extras such as cameras and film. We usually make a fairly early start (breakfast at around 8 am) and make the best of the cool morning air. We will walk for between 5 and 7 hours each day, stopping off en-route for a picnic lunch. On arrival at our hotel, there will always be plenty of time to rest, shower and enjoy a drink on the terrasse, before we sit down to a full 3 course evening meal.
Group Leader & Support Staff
Spending Money
Approximately £100 (or the equivalent in dollars or euros) should be allowed for miscellaneous expenses, drinks and souvenir purchases. We recommend that you carry your travel money in the form of euros currency, since there are not many money changing facilities once you leave Chania Airport. If you are intending to buy expensive souvenirs, you should budget accordingly. Also, if you expect to buy considerable quantities of soft drinks, wine or beer, you should make an allowance for this. Credit cards can be used in some places on this trip.
Baggage Allowance
Your main baggage will be transported to the next hotel either by road or by way of the small ferries which serve this part of the southern coast. There is no weight limit, other than that imposed by your airline, but we do ask you to restrict your luggage to one main item of baggage and one 25 or 30 litre daysack. For this holiday, the KE trek bag(see below) may not provide the best solution for your luggage. A bag with wheels might be easier to manage, and you should not feel obliged to use the trek bag even though it is provided.
KE Trek Bag
All KE clients will receive a FREE KE trek bag. These have been specially made to stand up to the rigours of adventure travel. Your KE bag will be posted to you when your trip is guaranteed to run or on receipt of your booking if the trip is already guaranteed. If you have travelled with us before and already have a KE trek bag you can select an alternative free gift in the booking process.
This holiday does not involve any significant ascent to altitude and we would not expect any altitude issues with this trip.
Equipment List
The following checklist should help you with your packing. As a general rule, you should always try to keep the weight of your equipment to a minimum.
You must bring the following items:
Hiking boots
Gaiters (may be required on pre-summer trips)
Trekking trousers
Lightweight waterproof overtrousers
Baselayer shirts
T-shirts and/or casual shirts
Midlayer fleece top
Warm fleece jacket
Waterproof jacket
Lightweight thermal gloves
Warm hat
Daypack 25 to 30 litres capacity
Sun protection (including for lips)
Water bottles 1 Litre (x2)
Washbag and toiletries
Antibacterial handwash
Small padlock (to lock your KE trek bag)
Headtorch - in case of power cuts)
Basic First Aid Kit including: Antiseptic cream, throat lozenges, diarrhoea treatment (Imodium), painkillers, plasters and blister treatment, insect repellent, and re-hydration salts (Dioralite).
The following items are optional:
Trainers or sandals
Towel (for swimming)
Trekking poles
Spare laces
Pen-knife (for picnic lunches)
Group Size and Holiday Status
For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in 'Dates and Prices' table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status and so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.
Passport & Visas
A passport with 6 months remaining validity at the end of your stay is generally required. The information that we provide is for UK passport holders. Please check the relevant embassy or consulate for other nationalities. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documents and visas for your holiday. Visa requirements and charges are subject to change without notice. If you are travelling outside the EU you should have at least 2 blank pages in your passport for each country that you visit.
Visa Europe
UK and USA passport holders do not require a visa.
Health & Vaccinations
You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you require any specific vaccinations. UK residents should obtain a free European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). This entitles you to state provided medical treatment, but is not a substitute for medical travel insurance which is still vital when travelling overseas.
The unit of currency in Europe is the Euro.
Electricity Supply & Plug
We recommend you check if you require an adaptor for your electrical items at:
Preparing For Your Trip
It makes a lot of sense to spend some time before coming on a trekking or climbing trip getting some additional exercise. The fitter you are, after all, the more enjoyable you will find the experience. We would suggest that you adopt a weekly exercise regime leading up to your trip. Jogging and swimming are good for developing better stamina. Before departure, we suggest that you try to fit in a number of long walks in hilly country.
Know before you go
As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign & Commonwealth Offices 'Know before you go' campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas, and we recommend that all KE travellers take a look at the FCO Travel Advice for their chosen destination on the official FCO website: www.fco.gov.uk. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.
KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe. Should the FCO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation. We receive regular updates direct from the FCO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground. If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.
The best time of year for hiking on Crete is in May, early June, September and October - when we have planned our trips. We can expect daytime temperatures to range between 20 and 30 degrees centigrade, dropping at night to 10 degrees centigrade in the mountains and 15 degrees centigrade on the coast. We are unlikely to experience any rain, as Crete enjoys one of the most favourable climates in the Mediterranean. It really is too hot to complete this itinerary comfortably during July and August.

One by one seventh graders stood up, walked to the middle of a huge circle of their peers from RVMS, Cedar Mountain and Springfield and shared their plan to stand up for what is right in their school.
Some said they were going to speak up when they saw students being bullied, while others said they were going to stand up for themselves and for others because they knew what it was like to be bullied.
These students had gathered in the RVMS/HS gym to take part in a Youth Frontiers program which was coordinated through the Cottonwood River Integration Collaborative. The intent of the collaborative is to bring member school districts together in environments to talk about cultural literacy issues.
One of the avenues the collaborative has used is Youth Frontiers, a Minneapolis based, non-profit group that provides programs in schools that challenge students to "think deeply about their character and behavior."
Among those character traits addressed is courage, which was the topic for the seventh grade program.
In addition to the seventh grade program a similar presentation was made recently for fifth graders from RVMS and Springfield. That program talked about kindness.
Those character traits, said John Sandahl, one of the Youth Frontiers presenters, are nice to talk about, but what is even more important is acting them out in life. That, he agreed, is not always easy to do, but it is the right thing to do.
Sandahl, along with Josh Johnson and Hannah Tjoflat, led the discussions with the fifth and seventh grade students during the day-long sessions, with the assistance of high-school students.
The high school students led small group discussions with the younger students, and Sandahl said having those older students take part is intentional.
Those older students are the role models for younger students. Having high school students there to talk about the issues creates a greater sense of connection with the students they might not gain if they just had adults telling them what they need to do.
Youth Frontiers was established in 1987 by John Cavanaugh, after he was approached by a high school sophomore in Montana.
That student asked him what he could do to stop those who were making fun of her every day.
Over the past 25 years, Youth Frontiers has traveled to schools across the nation in an effort to help "foster safe, positive school communities where students and educators can thrive emotionally, socially and, therefore, academically."
Statistics show there are more than 2.7 million students who experience bullying of some form at school every day, and finding ways to encourage those who see the bullying to help stop it begins with providing students with the character traits and tools to stand up.
Page 2 of 2 - What might seem basic, such as just being nice to everyone and treating others with respect, is something that can be a challenge for some students.
"It is a lot easier to follow the crowd," said Sandahl, adding Youth Frontiers helps give students a way to know what to do and how to do it. "It is our job to facilitate the conversation and to help students see the dangers of bullying.
Students were encouraged to practice what they learned, not only with their friends but with everyone they meet, whether it is in the classroom, hallways or even at lunch.
"It doesn't help if it is just talk," said Tjoflat. "Push yourself. It is going to be hard at first, but it gets easier the more you do it."

MARIETTA - For the second straight year, the Friends of the Museums are inviting children to experience a part of history.
The Campus Martius Museum will be the site of the Kid's Archaeology Day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
"In the same way kids learn about history, there is so much more history than is recorded in history books, and archaeology is the key to that," said Brad Lepper, Ohio Historical Society archaeologist. "History provides us with lessons, and archaeology provides us with many, many, many lessons on how not to have your civilization fall, for example."

Students use pump drills to drive a screw into a piece of plywood during the 2012 Kid's Archaeology Day at the Campus Martius Museum. Using the pump drills also will be a part of this year's activities.
Included in the activities will be a flintknapper, who will demonstrate making arrowheads and spear points.
The children participating will find out about the work of an archaeologist and help with a special dig. They will talk about the artifacts they find, what is considered a real artifact and how each object might have been used, said Glenna Hoff, education and program director at Campus Martius.
"It's one thing to read about it in a book or see it on TV," Hoff said. "To actually be able to see things and touch things and imagine how these things were used by people. What are people going to think of cell phones 200 years from now?"
Fact Box
If You Go
* What: Kid's Archaeology Day.
* When: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
* Where: Campus Martius Museum, 601 Second St.
* Cost: $7 adults, $4 students. Children 5 and younger are free. Friends of the Museums members are free. Pre-registration is not required.
* For information: 373-3750.
"It gives people a better understanding about how we live and how far we have come in life make us appreciate what we have," she said.
Campus Martius historian Bill Reynolds will describe a recent archaeological dig and talk about items considered to be artifacts and why.
What makes the day's activities different from just a visit to the museum is that most of the activities will be hands-on.
"A lot of things we have they can actually touch," Hoff said. "A lot of collectors don't like kids to touch items. The kids will be able to touch things and tell what they might have been used for."
The Marietta College Geology Club will participate. The members plan to conduct a dinosaur dig for the children.
"Even though we didn't have any in this area," Hoff said. "No one has ever found any."
Lepper agreed.
He said the layers of rock that would have contained fossils were either scraped away or never deposited in the first place.
"All we are left with is the deep layers with trilobites etc.," Lepper said.
The trilobite is the state fossil of Ohio.
Also included in Archaeology Day will be a look at what kind of training is required to be an archaeologist and what the job is like.

Glycosylation can significantly influence the safety and efficacy profiles of biopharmaceuticals. Changes in product glycosylation during scale-up can lead to serious regulatory and commercial problems because of the risk of altered clinical performance. This article presents an approach to biopharmaceutical development and manufacturing that reduces these scale-up risks. It combines a Quality by Design (QbD) framework and a suite of visual informatics tools designed to aid the implementation of QbD for therapeutics with complex glycosylation.
The possibility of nonuniform glycosylation during scale-up is inherent in the traditional approach to biopharmaceutical development, which typically is:
There are three main risks of this approach. First, the cells of the expression system could behave differently in the scaled-up process, thus resulting in altered glycosylation—so the comparability exercise fails. The risk is the possible modification of safety or efficacy profiles. Second, the overall f pattern might look the same after scale-up but the safety or efficacy profiles do change significantly because of alterations in relative quantities of minor glycoforms with high bioactivity that were not considered significant in the glycan structure analyses (glycoforms are forms of the drug that share the same protein backbone but have different oligosaccharides). Third, the glycosylation could alter after scale-up, leading to modified clinical performance of the drug, but the structural changes may not have been picked up during glycoprofiling.
This article outlines a five-step approach to the realization of glycoprotein therapeutics that reduces scale-up risks. It combines a Quality by Design (QbD) framework for the development and manufacture of the drug and a suite of visual informatics tools designed to aid the implementation of QbD for drugs with complex glycosylation.
