Technical information
RouteInnertkirchen – Grimsel – Ulrichen – Nufenen – Airolo – Gotthard – Andermatt – Wassen – Susten – Innertkirchen
- Length: 158km
- Duration (50km/h): 3h
Highest Elevations
- Nufenen Pass, 2478m
- Susten Pass, 2224m
- Grimsel Pass, 2165 m
- St. Gotthard-Pass, 2109m
The route runs through a wild, sparsely grown mountain region from the Haslital Valley to Valais. Besides granite rocks, the landscape is characterized by imposing power plants. After a ride over the pass in Ulrichen, the motorbikers will reach the valley and then travel on wide bends up the Nufenen Pass. From here the route leads through Val Bedretto to Airolo at the Gotthard Road.
At Airolo one has two options for reaching the Gotthard Pass: A fast highway skirts a terraced landscape, while the old cobblestone Tremola Pass Road leads to the Hospiz in tight hairpin bends. On the highest point of the pass (2109m) is the Gotthard Museum, which depicts the development of the pass as well as transit traffic. Bikers who are not in a hurry will enjoy the ride on the old road, parts of which are still cobblestoned. In the Schöllenen Gorge, the Gotthard Road climbs 350 meters over a distance of four kilometers, featuring numerous galleries and loops.
Near Wassen is the beginning of the Susten Pass, connecting the Reuss Valley at the foot of the Gotthard with the Hasli Valley in the Bernese Oberland. The Susten Pass Road was inaugurated in 1945 and was the first pass road in the entire Alpine region to be designed exclusively for motor traffic.

Jessica Simpson's friends and family – including sister Ashlee Simpson, close pal Jessica Alba (below) and hairstylist Ken Paves – fêted the Fashion Star mentor, 32, with a country bash to celebrate the impending arrival of her son.
On Sunday afternoon at an L.A. hotel, Simpson's nearest and dearest (including her 11-month-old daughter Maxwell), gathered at a Tom Sawyer-themed affair, complete with vintage tables, tin pitchers, and a wooden boat alongside the nearby pond.
Wearing a bright blue Diane von Furstenberg dress and nude Brian Atwood heels, Simpson entered the party with her daughter on her hip, patting her pregnant belly and beaming as she greeted guests.
Splash News Online
The celebrity event planner coordinated the "homey" event along with help from Simpson's mom, Tina. "They're best friends," says Weiss. "Jessica trusted her mom to make the decisions!"
Guests dined on a variety of comfort foods, including pigs in a blanket, mini sliders and grilled cheese from a custom station. One special request from the expectant mama? Thousand Island dressing at the salad bar. "She's craving it!" says Weiss.

When reading one of your favorite books, how often do you think of the author as you come to an exciting plot twist? Do you ever wonder what they were thinking as they wrote one of the chapters that is making you sit on the edge of your seat? Well, when the author of that book is one of your classmates, you may find yourself doing just that! Kristina Rovison, a 16-year-old junior at Mount St. Mary Academy, proudly admits she is a dedicated student, cheerleader, horseback rider and published author.
With a charismatic personality and bubbly laugh, Kristina talked with NeXt about her book, "Pieces of a Mending Heart."
When asked how she came up with the idea to write her story, Kristina said it was the story she had always wanted to read that had never been written.
"I had had the idea for this story in my head for a while before I decided to start writing it," Kristina said.
However, the idea for the story received a complete overhaul after an eye-opening summer camp she attended.
"After attending the camp, I found my faith again and decided to incorporate it in my book," said Kristina.
It took Kristina two months to write "Pieces of a Mending Heart" and eight months to edit it. She did all of her own editing, to which she devoted about an hour a day.
"It was difficult at times to balance all of my extracurricular activities along with working on my book," she said.
When describing the first time she saw her book in print, Kristina's blue eyes light up and a proud smile fills her face. "I came home one day and I saw a big package on my doorstep," she says. "I jumped right out of the car to go open it!
"It is a truly amazing feeling to see your hard work pay off," she said.
Kristina's advice for young adults who want to be published authors is: "Go for it! It's a great feeling and very rewarding to know that people appreciate your work and are genuinely enjoying it! ... Be as creative as possible with your ideas! Write something that has never been done before!"
A sequel, "Fractured Heart," is in the works.
"I plan to have it finished by the end of August," said Kristina.
She is also working on another book with a futuristic, sci-fi plot.
"I don't usually write things like that, but for that story, it just felt right," she said.

Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne was recovering in the hospital Friday after suffering a seizure, a source says. But a report he was in critical condition in a medically induced coma was vigorously denied.
"Wayne is alive and well," his close friend and business partner Mack Maine Tweeted. "we will be releasing an official statement shortly, but dont believe the nonsense about comas and tubes to breathe...that's false."
A rep for the rapper adds, "Lil' Wayne is doing well. Thanks for your concern."
Neither Maine nor the rep disclosed the medical issue with Wayne, 30, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. But a source tells PEOPLE the rapper "had a seizure," and adds, "He's fine though."
TMZ reports Wayne was rushed to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills on Tuesday after suffering multiple seizures, and by Friday was in the ICU in critical condition. The site also said he was in a medically induced coma hooked up to breathing tubes and "it doesn't look good."
Wayne has won four Grammy awards including best rap album for Tha Carter III in 2008. He is also known for founding Young Money Entertainment, a subsidiary of Cash Money, of which Maine is president.
Together they released seven No.1 albums. Young Money Entertainment also introduced Nicki Minaj and Drake.

Dognapped dog found by owner
September 26, 2013
Most stories of lost or stolen dogs end badly. This one is differen....
Actually Watchdog I have known of dogs that have done that. We gave someone a dog one time that lived about 6 miles away from us they had it a couple days and the dog got loose and it returned to our house.

"Headed west out Lisbon toward Guilford Lake."
Now that is one brilliant dog...need to take that act to Hollywood! LOL
I bet that dog didn't even have to stop and ask for directions!!
Maybe this is what happened, the dog was never in the car and she flipped out because she thought in was and started an all out man hunt for an invisible dog napper. My God it was ticker taping across the news channels! The she got home after all the fussing she made and discovered the dog was there. Then hatched this story to save face? Because I sure in the heck don't buy this part about how this dog was found.

Do you think the dog may have slipped out the door when the owners got out of the car without the owner realizing it? Sounds like the dog was trying to find it's way home. Headed west out Lisbon toward Guilford Lake.

I figure with all the cameras everywhere you go this would be a place you'd be seen. Unless you never went inside, had an invisible suit that covered your vehicle And followed them to the place for the perfect dog napping to transpire on federal property. Oh, and once you took the dog it was cloaked in invisibility too. The question is did they nap the dog before or after they went inside and were they hardcore enough not to show emotion at the counter or waiting in line during the episode?

There have been people who have sworn they were carjacked. You never know why they went through all the drama just to be charged. My guess is the door was opened or a window opened and one got out. Could be the dog left the vehicle in an entirely different location. Plenty of motives and endless reasons why. It just isn't the owner's fault.

How about reading he story both days. Some one was trying to make a fast buck and the merchandise became too hot to handle when the first article was published so the poor dog got dumped. They didn't have the decency to dump the poor thing close to home. What doesn't smell right is someone questioning her. Why would she want to lie, there is no motive for that.

It was Kate who'd brought the couple's black cocker spaniel to the outing, just hours after she'd spent time with inner-city kids on a camping trip in Kent.
"In true spaniel fashion he was very playful," an observer tells PEOPLE.
And while he got some exercise by dashing around the sidelines with Kate, Lupo also got to rest his legs when he was embraced in the arms of William, – who planted a princely kiss on the pooch, to boot.
William and brother Prince Harry played on opposing sides at the Beaufort Polo Club, about 100 miles west of London, all to raise money for some of their charities.
Indigo / Getty
Lupo wasn't the only one getting attention. Kate used the occasion to catch up with royal cousins-in-law and play with the Queen's great granddaughter, Savannah Phillips, the 18-month-old daughter of Peter Phillips and his wife Autumn.
"Kate was really getting into playing with Savannah," said the observer. "She seemed to be trying to get Savannah to stroke Lupo."
William and Harry's first cousin, Zara Phillips, and her husband, Mike Tindall, were also among the throng of royals who enjoyed a weekend of festivities to mark the Queen's official birthday celebration.
At the end of the match, William carried Lupo off the field and into a tent.

'Most Wanted' fugitive apprehended, charged with having suspected drugs
A man wanted by the Erie County Sheriff's Office for a probation/parole violation faces more criminal charges after Erie police said they found him in possession of suspected drugs when he was apprehended at the scene of a reported domestic dispute this morning.
Charles L. Raiford, 26, was arraigned by Erie 4th Ward District Judge Tom Robie on multiple counts of possession with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia after he was taken into custody in the 800 block of East 24th Street shortly after 4:30 a.m.
Police said they were called there to investigate a domestic dispute. The suspected drugs were found on Raiford after he was taken into custody, police said.
Raiford was placed in the Erie County Prison on $10,000 bond.
Raiford's case on the probation/parole violation was featured in the March 14 Erie Times-News Most Wanted. He is the 659th fugitive to be apprehended since the feature began in March 2004.

After a three week break from competition, the Stetson women's golf team will return to action this weekend when they play in the LPGA Xavier Collegiate Invitational.
The tournament will feature 54-holes of golf over three days at the LPGA International Golf Course in Daytona Beach. Play will open with a shotgun start on Friday morning at 8:30 a.m. on the par 72 layout that will play to a total of 6,178 yards.
The Hatters will be joined in the 14-team field by a mixture of Florida teams as well as teams from the north. Besides host Xavier, the other teams in the field are UAB, Bethune-Cookman, Daytona State, Florida Gulf Coast, ULM, McNeese State, Mercer, North Dakota, Northern Kentucky, North Florida, Old Dominion and South Dakota State.
With five Atlantic Sun Conference teams in the field, the event has a chance to take on a tournament within a tournament feel for the Hatters.
"Those are the teams we always want to be able to compete with," Stetson coach Floyd Kerr said. "We have seen Mercer and North Florida already this year, and having a chance to play against those teams again should tell us how much we have improved."
Both Mercer and North Florida finished ahead of Stetson in the Eat A Peach Collegiate in the Hatters' last outing. Mercer, in fact, comes into the tournament ranked 40th in the nation according to GolfStat. The Bears are the only team in the field for this event ranked in the top 50.
Mercer junior Mary Alice Murphy is the top ranked individual player in the field, beginning the weekend ranked 38th according to GolfStat with a season scoring average of 72.80.
The Hatters will be paired with players from McNeese State and North Dakota for the opening round. Stetson will begin play on holes 4-7.
Stetson saw all five of its junior players make improvement during the tournament three weeks ago. That improvement was by as few as five shots up to as many as 17. Kerr said the time off between tournaments has given his players an opportunity to work on specific areas of their game, which should produce more improvement this weekend.
"The thing about having a small squad is that I get to spend more time with each player working on specific areas to improve their play," Kerr said. "I expect to see some of the things we have been working on translate into fewer bad holes over the course of the weekend."
Following Friday's opening round, play will continue with single rounds of play on Saturday and Sunday. Play will begin with a shotgun start both days, at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday and at 8 a.m. on Sunday.

In Pennsylvania, it's the war of the wives.
A week after Second Lady Jill Biden blazed through the state's eastern half on a fundraising trip, first-lady hopeful Ann Romney is set to stop in Altoona for a Monday luncheon with local Republican contributors.
Romney's fundraising visit at the Blair County Convention Center - planned for weeks but not revealed to the public until Wednesday - comes as polls show a nearly insurmountable Pennsylvania lead for President Barack Obama, with reports indicating some Romney staffers have been transferred to other states.
"I know that she was expected to come for the last few weeks," said state Sen. John H. Eichelberger Jr., R-Blair, who received an invitation but said he'll be in session Monday.
Campaign officials didn't reply to emails seeking comment, but Altoona business owner and Republican contributor Lee Hite said he'd been told about the event in advance. Michael A. Fiore, of Leonard S. Fiore Inc. Contractors, reportedly helped to arrange Romney's visit.
Republican Party figures have yet to reveal details about the noon luncheon. Members of the press will be kept at a distance following a campaign request, a convention center employee said.
"She's coming in Monday. ... And that's about all I can say," Blair County Republican Party Chairman A.C. Stickel said.
Eichelberger said high security and reduced transparency are common in fundraisers, citing Mitt Romney's surreptitiously filmed comments about a government-dependent "47 percent" at a Boca Raton, Fla., event in May as a risk.
Ann Romney is set to visit other Pennsylvania cities, including Harrisburg, next week, though the extent of her trip isn't yet clear. The Romney campaign website lists an "Altoona Luncheon with Ann," but no further description.
It may surprise some that the Romney campaign would continue investing energy in Pennsylvania, once considered a swing state but now solidly pro-Obama. But state Republicans hope to use the presidential race's attention to develop support for more contentious campaigns, like Tom Smith's run for a U.S. Senate seat, Eichelberger said.
"They're pushing them [the Romney campaign] to come in and do a little more here," he said.
Ann Romney's visit follows a seven-city fundraising tour by Vice President Joe Biden's wife, Jill, who covered the area between Harrisburg, Scranton and Philadelphia earlier this week.
Such high-speed fundraising trips can be exhausting, with candidates and their relatives bouncing among several cities in a day, Eichelberger said.
"These people just talk all day, everywhere they go," he said. "I don't know how they don't get hoarse."

Entrapment and suffocation hazards have prompted the recall of 73,000 drop-side cribs.
The recall involves 14 models of the PT Domusindo Perdana wooden drop-side cribs sold through the JCPenney catalog and on JCPenney.com.
The drop sides can malfunction, detach, or fail, causing the drop side to fall out of position.
An infant or toddler could fall out of the crib or become wedged or entrapped.
The CPSC is aware of three incidents. No injuries were reported.
Consumers should stop using the cribs and call Modus Furniture International at 800-827-2129 for a free immobilizer kit to correct the problem.

The trophy you took fell to a heavy relatively non-expanding chunk of lead, not to the high tech jacketed expanding bullet. There is nothing that would make the deer deader. A deeply penetrating large diameter lead ball in the right place will not leave you much of a tracking chore. That expanding bullet would have, if you did not have your ROA as backup. What happened to you is not a fluke.
And I don't think using pistol primers to ignite the powder charge would make any noticeable difference. A chrono might tell you that you added a few feet per second, but terminal performance on the game would be the same. It went all the way through with a cap for crying out loud.

I think a wide, flat nosed boolit would be your best bet. It'll punch a nearly full caliber hole through the deer, much like a hole punch does with paper.
Especially if it's hard cast. Then, you have a hole in the deer that will bleed profusely and won't close up.
Good enough for big, dangerous game, good enough for medium game.
Pistols don't generate the velocity needed to deliver the level of hydrostatic shock that a rifle round generates. So, we load them to punch a clean, free bleeding hole that gives us a good blood trail do follow, and a game animal that dies quickly.
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

Very interesting concept! Sent you a PM.
Appreciate your efforts.

I was thinking for a long time about different concept using boxer primers; back plate with firing pins (as for conversion cylinder for standard cartridge), with cylinder bored to accept boxer primer:
With this setup, I will have just two parts to handle; cylinder and back plate with firing pins. Also, cylinder could be made to use 209 shotgun primers. In addition, here is adaptor that will allow using small pistol primers in cylinder bored for 209 primers:

Man I would like one with 209 primers! That brings new powders into play, like Blackhorn.
I have a Kirst conversion. If that backplate could be leveraged to fire 209 primers, that would be awesome.

I have an ROA with a Kirst conversion and thus a back plate with firing pins. I also happen to have several ROA cylinders. I would be more than willing to send these to someone and have them modify the standard BP cylinder to fire 209 caps using the Kirst back plate....any takers? Doak? You up for it?

You really need to take me up on my offer and mod my spare cylinder to work with the Kirst back plate to fire 209 primers...
It's close to Christmas....

This reminds me...with Doak's primer conversion....will the cap be hot enough to set off Blackhorn 209 powder? It should be. I suspect shotgun primer caps were used in today's B/P rifles because they are easier to handle. They're no hotter than standard rifle or pistol caps.

Wouldn't hurt to look at the stuff & see what comes to mind. Combined w/Onty's set up, it mite be a contender!
Right now I'm kinda busy makin', what my wife calls "nubbins", primer capsules for you's guys.
This would have to be on a "slow cooker", at least for the near future.
You've got my fone & e-mail: rattle my cage after ya exhaust all your sensible options. :-D
Ha! Be careful what ya wish for, ya mite get it!

I will try to design another idea that would be awesome, to use safely smokeless powders in ROA. Many of us would like to shoot it in indoor ranges during cold days, especially in northern areas. Shooting ROA indoor, using black powder or one of those smoky substitutes, is big no-no in almost all indoor ranges. Also, I had seen corrosion on a number of stainless ROA-s, as a result of shooting all that highly corrosive stuff.
BTW, I am looking for at least one, preferably couple spare stainless cylinders for ROA.

Combining Onty's concept and Abitnutz' idea is the solution to a problem that has been eatin at me for over a year now.
The ability to shoot rubber boolits in a ROA for indoor shootin.
Mmm, but thinkin 'bout it, a 209 may be jist a weeeee bit hot fer rubber boolits.
No wait !!!!! I jist realized that Doaks' setup will work just fine !!!!
Oh boy, i can't wait wiggle.gif

Back to design. Here is my proposal for ROA cylinder for smokeless powders and 209 primer:
The idea is to have cylinder with stepped chambers, with front end .4520-.4525 dia (short counterbore about .456-.457 dia optional), and aft end about .430 dia, making powder space same as on loaded 45 Schofield when using 255-SWC like Lyman 454424 or other similar bullets. This will make cylinder wall about .085 thick between chambers in powder are, same as on 44 magnum SBH.
Going this way, we can use 45 Schofield loading data, with built in safety feature that will prevent accidental reduce of powder space. When combined with same same quality and strength of the steel as on standard, modern centre fire revolvers, we should have safe and practical way of shooting smokeless powders in ROA. If you are concerned about .065˝ wall thickness between chambers in bullet area, please keep in mind that in conversion cylinders for shooting standard 45 Colt loads wall thickness is no more than .045 (probably less, I have no such cylinder to measure it), yet those cylinders are safe to shoot standard 45 Colt loads rated at 14 000 psi, see http://www.handloads.com/misc/saami.htm .
Let me know what you think.
Cheers, Onty.

Cylinders for the Old Army......
Interesting stuff, all of the above, BUT, using some sort of backplate with a stationary single firing pin just like the Kirst Kartridge Konverter would drastically REDUCE the size of the MAIN CYLINDER that holds your powder charge. You would end up with a SHORTY cylinder not capable of holding no more than maybe 25grs. of black powder!!! Now, however, using smokeless powders is another matter altogether and WOULD WORK FOR SURE, as all you need is a bit of space for that. A shorty cylinder equipped with nipples to fire regular boxer primers, loaded with the correct and proper smokeless powder, along with that stationary backplate Ala'Kirst with single firing pin would be the way to go. Yes, yes, that would work. We all know that would work. Like a charm it would! RIGHT? Of course it would work. But than how would we remove those spent boxer primers? Rather, how do we now de-cap the cylinder? Gotta have that tool....Right. Now, increased presures and velocity from our now smokeless firing cylinder would dictate, NO, mandate actually, that our bullet be extra tight in that cylinder, can't use pure lead, it would jump the cylinder in recoil and would jam-up the cylinder after the first shot! Not so good! Nope, not good. Now maybe if we can crimp the cylinder to stop bullet jump. Wait! Crimp the cylinder! Oh my, am I nuts or what! Maybe a nice roll crimp on that cylinder would hold those slugs tight? Hard-cast bullets would be the way to go if we want them slugs to be tight. No lubes now 'cause that ain't gonna help. We will need a nice rammer or outboard loader with a long handle to press fit those jump-free bullets in there. Nice and tight. The only way to go! Wow! Velocity, heavy hard hitting slugs, clean burning powders, the reliability of modern boxer primers, etc. I ask myself.. .....Where is all these taking me? All of the above logical and great ideas ideas would work just fine as long as we don't try to magnumize the ROA with smokeless powders and hot loads. Too many variables step in. Or rather too many creepy scary variables start to set in if we are not carefull. Someone, somehow, somewhere will sort all these out I am sure. I will for now stick with my regular Kirst Konverters firing factory fodder without a worry in the world. They have worked fine for me for hundreds and hundreds of rounds without a hitch or problem at all. All the very best to you all, great ideas by the way! Really great ideas.
While laying down my just fired Ruger Old Army on the shooting bench table, I smile and think, oh don't I just love the smell of burning blackpowder early in the morning. There must be an Old Army or two up there in Heaven. There must be.

As I mentioned, idea was to get 45 Schofield level loads, using smokeless powder, so we can shoot in indoor ranges when temperature dips bellow 0°F.
See this thread, some interesting loads listed, http://www.rugerforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=72845 . Also, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQVu3d3NpxU , look how much ROA rolls up.

Winters in the South are indeed nice. At least, when they're mild. When they're cold, they suck, because it's cold, wet, and windy.
Summers are miserable, with humidity up to 100%, and temps in the high 90s to low 100s.
My Blackhawk Flattop .44 Special rolls up like that with stout loads.
I'd thought about using the Lee REAL bullet in the ROA. I have that mold, and cast for my .45 Sam Yang with it.
Now, I have another use for it. I bet it'll hold a good bit of lube in those grooves.

Got me a package from Doak the other day.
I will quickly say that that man is not only a blessing to our hobby and THE most unselfishly giving man that i have ever encountered,he is also a Master craftsman and a Master machinist. His attention to detail is second to none.
Just as i anticipated,His work has opened up a whole new world of indoor shooting for Janet and I by allowing us to finaly shoot rubber boolits from our ROA's.
I only got to quickly try some SPM primers under some X-Ring rubber boolits.I will soon try some standard SP primers and also some SR primers.
I will also share my entire experience and my response to Doak and his reply just as soon as i get some time.
For those of you fortunate enough to be on his mailing list...you are in for one SERIOUS treat.
If yer gonna give the rubber boolits a try, seat the bullet before ya insert the primer or the air pocket won't let it seat.
This is my initial 'report to Doak......
Accuracy was a bit irratic tho. 1.5" at about 20-25'.
I'll try standard SP primers and SR primers and see if this improves.
If i recall correctly, we get our best rubber boolit accuracy from our .38's usin SPM primers.
Thanks to Doak, shooting ROA's for Janet and i has officialy moved indoors for the winter.

A copy of this User's Guide is shipped w/every kit. Might be good to have a copy here, on record, in case someone's goes missing.
And y'all can become familiar w/the drill before your kit arrives.
Takes about 2.5 weeks to complete a kit, baring interruptions, like Thanksgiving. :-D

Ruger Old Army Spares
Hi from the UK
I have recently bought a ROA which has been fitted with a modified cylinder enabling nitro powder & shotgun primers to be used.
To load the cylinder is removed from the frame. then the back of the cylinder, with 6 firing pins, is removed. Shotgun primers are inserted into the back of the cylinder, the plate replaced & the cylinder refitted into the frame. A small quantity of nitro powder is added to each chamber & a ball or lead RN bullet seated on top of the powder. Works well.
I have 3 questions.
I know that this modified cylinder was manufactured on the USA & then imported into the UK. Can anyone suggest which USA company could have manufactured these cylinders.
Spares for the ROA are few & far between. Is there a company which makes/sells nipples for the original black powder cylinder.
Can wooden grips stil be bought for the revolver. Who markets them.
In the UK we can no longer have nitro "handguns" but are permitted "muzzle loading" revolvers. Hence the demand for nitro cylinders. In addition we must have permission on our firearms ticket to own both the revolver & separately for the "additional" cylinder, whether that be the modified nitro cylinder or the original black powder cylinder.

Problems in the Falls aren't due to parkway
Niagara Falls officials are once again taking straight aim to shoot themselves in the foot. Harvey Albond, a former city manager, is complaining that the Robert Moses Parkway acts as a bypass to the city. This latest salvo against the parkway would be laughable if it wasn't so sad.
The traffic bypass argument was used several decades ago, when the section inside the state park was removed to be more compatible to Olmsted's original vision, and to force travelers to enter the city. Since then the economics of downtown have continued to deteriorate and the condition of the city has become an absolute embarrassment for our Western New York community.
If there were good restaurants, fun entertainment venues and interesting retail shops, no parkway presence would keep people away. City and business leaders are promoting the same discredited ideas and ignoring the obvious truth about what really ails Niagara Falls. If they sincerely want to find the problem, they should start by looking in the mirror.

A tallish stringy-haired chubby girl in too-big Crocs sprawled on the floor beside me.
She looked at me and saw me looking at her, all youth and innocence and hurt and she ran to her Mother. Buried her face in her neck and it ached within my bones.
She cried loud and dramatic, like a child. I stood there frozen. I wanted to push my cart away and leave. I offered to get someone, was she hurt?
Her Mom whispered thank you and then mouthed I just think she's embarrassed.
I understood. As a Mom. As a little girl. And I wished I could have told her I fall, too.
I'm embarrassed from a hundred too many falls. In my too big shoes in my too big life.
I want to hide my face and cry in my Mom's arms every minute of every day sometimes. But I'm the Mom, and I'm the arms. The weight of things is just too much. The lightness hurts even more. The spinning, the bills, the dishes, the sticky floor.
Wounded and vulnerable and understanding in the peanut butter aisle and even that's too much.

A junior year abroad in Berlin, where he saw the aftermath of World War II, inspired his career in modern German history.
An expert in the rise of Nazism in Germany, Mr. Allen taught at several universities over the years, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Free University of Berlin, the University of Missouri and Wayne State University.
His first book, "The Nazi Seizure of Power," was translated into 10 languages and used as a textbook in German history courses.
In 1970, Mr. Allen came to UB, where he taught for more than 30 years. He retired in 2001.
During his career at UB, he served as chairman of the history department and as president of the UB chapter of the United University Professions. He won a number of teaching awards, including the SUNY Chancellor's Award.
Mr. Allen was politically active throughout his life, working for nuclear disarmament and civil rights and against the Vietnam War and neo-Nazi intolerance. He was George McGovern's campaign manager in Erie County during the 1972 presidential election.
Mr. Allen was a board member of the Holocaust Research Center of Buffalo and often lectured in area high schools about the Holocaust. He liked sailing the Great Lakes and enjoyed Irish culture and history, especially the works of James Joyce.
Mr. Allen is survived by his wife of 32 years, Karen; a son, Jefferson; and three daughters, Caitilyn, Rebecca and Claire.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Stetson women's tennis team defeated cross-county foe Embry-Riddle 6-3 in non-conference action Sunday afternoon for the Hatters' third straight victory.
"The team played an excellent match today against a strong Embry-Riddle squad," Stetson Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said. "Our intensity was on point from the first ball and our doubles set the tone again today."
Playing NAIA rules where all three doubles matches count for one point, two out of three Stetson doubles pairs came away with victories on Sunday.
Senior Diana Bukajeva and freshman Carolina Meregalli won 8-3 at number two doubles, while senior Lindsey Cable and sophomore Eveline Lepinay won 8-2 at the number three position to give the Hatters an early 2-1 lead.
Stetson went on to win the first three singles matches to clinch the victory with a 5-1 advantage. Bukajeva extended her singles winning streak to nine matches with a 6-3, 6-0 victory at number one singles.
Meregalli won 6-3, 6-0 at number five singles, and then sophomore Cari Berry won 6-0, 6-4 to clinch the match for the Hatters. Sophomore Andrea Crespo also won 6-1, 6-3 at number two, while the Eagles took number three and number six to make the final score 6-3 in favor of Stetson.
"We have a short time to prepare for another challenging team in Florida Atlantic," Pilote said. "We need to continue to improve in practices this week to continue our progression."
The Hatters will continue their two-game road trip on Friday, playing at Florida Atlantic at 1:00 p.m. in Boca Raton.

Wow just wow. If Hossa were to enter tomorrow nights game and through a cheep shot on any Pens players (causing an injury) then I would most certainly hate the guy. I would be the first to sign a petition to send to Babcock to not play him in game 7 and send him away from the proud organization that is the Red Wings. He can do wrong, but he did not do wrong last year.
Not being concerned with logic makes accepting when you are wrong difficult. Ask any politician.

While putting the ball in the hoop and scoring points is the most important thing a basketball player can do, pulling down a missed shot follows close behind.
Stetson University junior Cherisse Burris knows that well, and she has been racking up rebounds on a both ends of the court since she first put on a Hatter uniform. Burris has amassed 430 rebounds in just two-and-a-half seasons including a team-high 108 so far this year.
"Whatever I can do for the team, if I am not scoring then I want to rebound," Burris said. "Defensive rebounding is (especially) important for us because when we get a defensive rebound, we can get on offense."
Burris and her teammates will look to crash the boards this weekend as the Hatters (8-5, 0-1 A-Sun) host USC Upstate and ETSU in a two-game conference homestand at the Edmunds Center. Thursday's tip-off against the Spartans (6-7, 1-1) is scheduled for 6 p.m., while Saturday's contest vs. the Buccaneers (5-8, 1-1) will start at 1 p.m.
A 5-10 post player, Burris has been a model of consistency during her career. She has played in all 80 games since the start of her freshman year, and has picked up at least one board in every single contest.
"She just has a knack for the ball," Stetson assistant coach Pam Brown said. "She is really intent on going to pursue the ball and not letting the ball come to her. You look at her and you don't think she can jump that high, but she really has one of the higher verticals on the team."
This season Burris has nearly doubled her rebounding statistics as she is averaging 8.3 boards per game, which ranks fifth among all Atlantic Sun players. She is also averaging 9.7 rebounds per contest over the past seven games.
"She is real good with her positioning and reading when the ball is coming off the rim, whether it's a long shot or short shot, just pursuing it and going to get it," Brown said.
The Hatters have also had success on the boards as a team as they lead the league with a 43.2 rebounding average. Burris says the team uses competitions in practice to help improve their skills and sharpen their focus.
"We play rebounding wars, where if you don't box out, you have to run sprints after practice."
Tickets for the games this weekend start at $5 and can be purchased online at GoHatters.com/tix or at the Edmunds Center ticket office. Stetson students, faculty, and staff are free with a valid ID.
Live video for both games will be available on HatterVision, while WSBB will carry the audio broadcast of Saturday's game only on AM1230 New Smyrna Beach, AM1490 DeLand, and online at myam1230.com. Live stats, the @StetsonWBB twitter feed, and Hat-Alerts will provide in-game updates as well.

Tomahawk's annual Venison Feed has been one of the most popular public relations tools the community has had. Generations of visiting hunters have stopped for the popular charcoal-cooked burgers made possible by donated venison, cooked by volunteer chefs.
It's been no secret that, probably from Day One, the burgers were not all venison. The deer meat was mixed with beef and/or pork. It simply makes them taste better.
Now, we understand that there is a proposal to make the burgers ALL beef. The reason is the concern about chronic wasting disease, found to have hit some deer in southwestern Wisconsin.
Limiting the meal to beef puts out the wrong message. It defies tradition. It's scary. Deer hunting season is an economic boon to the area. We need the hunters. Failing to serve deer meat would imply that there is an overall condemnation of Wisconsin's deer herd. There isn't. It could unnecessarily cut down on the hunt's participants. How can there be a Venison Feed without venison?
At the least, let's offer our visitors and local attendees a choice: Continue to put venison in the burgers, and serve up some beef-only sandwiches, too.
In short, let's not take such a drastic step without study. Where's the beef? It can be at our annual feed, but let's make sure the namesake traditional venison is there, too.

Businesses bemoan the state of education and rightly so: they need a well-educated, capable, responsible work force able to solve problems and connect with the right people within their company to get things done. Well, now, virtual tools are getting rid of their excuses for not volunteering. With free Skype, a webcam, and a headset, everyone from the CEO to the intern could potentially volunteer at almost any school around the world with a common language.
Advertisers flock to youtube to encourage average, everyday folks to make what Time Magazine is calling youmercials.
Well, I've seen the beginnings of YouTeach last week as my class interviewed nanotechnology expert, Earl Boysen. Boysen is the author of the easy-to-understand Nanotechnology for Dummies and the Understanding Nano Website.
I have a first cousin in college who is majoring in nanotechnology and I found nothing in our very up to date textbooks. So, after completing a chapter on computer hardware, my class researched and created a nanotechnology wiki for 70 minutes of class time.
Then, using Skype, our class speakers, webcam, and a microphone, my rural Georgia USA classroom dialed up Mr. Boysen in California.
What resulted was an interesting discussion about their future, which includes microscopic robotics, and particles that could potentially be ingrained in everything from their clothing to their toothpaste.
Then, Earl wrote a well-researched article in his NanoTechnology now column where he states:"I hope that other teachers who can make time in their class schedule and master some simple-to-use technologies will consider calling in outside experts via the Internet as one way around current limitations of textbooks and curricula."
It was an "ah-ha" moment of sorts that turned the wheels of my mind in a new direction. When I worked in corporate America, "the company" was always encouraging us to participate in the community, but then, we didn't really have the opportunity because it would usually take 2-3 hours out of our day to head down to a local school to speak. We didn't have the time to really volunteer.
Goodbye excuse, hello kiddies!What if a visionary company decided to have each of their employees "volunteer" at a variety of schools around the world for 30 minutes once a month?
After the initial set up, it would be just 30 minutes, no more. And that area could be around the corner or in any remote place with Internet access and less than $2500 worth of equipment on site. A PC, Skype, mike, webcam, projector, and speakers.
Knowledgeable experts in every field can now stop complaining about education and start contributing to education via these inexpensive, easy, connections.
Can we do this now? How can this happen?Yes, you can volunteer now but I am not aware of any formal programs as of yet.
There are some that use the expensive virtual conferencing set ups that are being used in many schools. We cannot afford it so we have to use the free VOIP software, Skype. But in many ways, Skype is better because I can stay in my classroom. I am sure there are other VOIP type programs out there that would also work, but Skype is what I use.
So how will virtual volunteer connections be made?These virtual volunteer connections are going to be made by the classroom teacher talking about butterflies who has a brother who is an entomologist across the country or the history teacher who has a buddy from college who works at the Smithsonian.
It is going to be some visionary CEO's who set the precedent and encourage their employees to "virtually volunteer" in their area of expertise. It is going to be visionary administrators who allow the installation of free services like Skype in their classrooms and set up methodologies to allow their classes to communicate and share with experts around the world.
Here is what has to happen in the classroom to make such connections:

• Current emphasis on early case finding, outpatient care, and on longitudinal studies of asymptomatic patients has focused attention on the community adjustment of psychiatric patients. Thus, simple and inexpensive methods such as self-report scales, which allow the routine assessment of patient adjustment, are potentially useful.
The derivation and testing of such a method, the Social Adjustment Scale Self-Report, is described. This scale covers the patient's role performance, interpersonal relationships, friction, feelings and satisfaction in work, and social and leisure activities with the extended family, as a spouse, parent, and member of a family unit. Self-report results based on 76 depressed outpatients were comparable to those obtained from relatives as well as by a rater who interviewed the patient directly.

Joe DeLong, executive director of West Virginia's Regional Jail Authority, wants to reduce his agency's payroll costs. Hiring 100 new full-time employees ought to do that, he believes.
DeLong hasn't lost his mind. Neither have RJA members who endorsed his proposal this week. Their reasoning seems solid.
During the 2011-12 budget year, the authority handed out $31.8 million in paychecks. Of that, about $7.2 million was in overtime pay for guards and other employees who had to work more than 40 hours a week to keep jails staffed adequately.
Putting 100 new employees on the payroll would cost about $2.4 million a year - while reducing overtime costs by at least $3.6 million, DeLong told authority members Thursday. That would translate to a net reduction of about $1.2 million.
The move, which must be approved by other executive branch agencies, would make sense for other reasons, DeLong said. The authority's 648 corrections officers often are "tired, and they're leaving their guard down" because of mandatory overtime, he explained.
It seems obvious the new corrections officers ought to be added, then. But if at a later date it is determined they are a drain on the state budget rather than a help, some or all of them ought to be laid off.
DeLong's explanation of the situation is extremely troubling. Staffing plans put in place for the 10-facility network of regional jails did not take factors such as holidays, sick leave and vacations into account, he said last week. That system, in place for many years, simply was not realistic. It ignored basic factors most private-sector managers understand and take into account in staffing their businesses.
Like so much that happens in government, it appears the regional jail system was established on the basis of cost estimates those responsible should have known were flawed. The system is costing more than taxpayers were led to believe.
How many other state agencies are doing the same thing?
It was not difficult for DeLong to reach the conclusion he did. Simply noting that nearly 23 percent of personnel costs were for overtime pay made alarm bells ring in his head.
Have other state agency heads taken the same look at their payrolls? Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin should order they do so immediately.
