MISSOULA, Mont., Nov. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Oren's Daily Roast, a longstanding New York specialty coffee destination now owns the 9th place Cup of Excellence® award winning coffee from Nicaragua's 2011 competition and will be roasting this rare coffee in small batches for the holiday season. Oren Bloostein, founder of Oren's Daily Roast and a strong supporter of Nicaragua's coffee farmers, placed the top bid for this coffee at the annual auction. "We will not be serving this coffee as an espresso," he explained. "This coffee's soft, sweet multidimensional flavors are best enjoyed when sipped slowly with a press or a drip preparation and a lighter roast."
The farmer, Maykol Yader Montenegro took top honors by submitting a coffee into the yearly competition described as having incredible balance with dark berries, black currant, plum and chocolate flavor notes. Beginning with a rose aroma and ending with a spicy, lasting extremely sweet finish, the international jury ranked it in the top ten coffees from Nicaragua for 2011.
The coffee was grown on the La Ampliacion farm located in the Nueva Segovia region of Nicaragua now famous for the number of awards bestowed on its coffee farmers. The farm had been abandoned until 5 years ago when the family purchased the land and worked tirelessly to develop its quality.
"Even in uncertain economic times, coffee connoisseurs enjoy and appreciate farmer-identified, exceptional coffees," explained Susie Spindler, Executive Director of The Alliance for Coffee Excellence, Inc., the non-profit manager of the Cup of Excellence competition for the world's finest coffees. "Most of the award winning coffees are shipped to Europe, Asia and Australia so this is a great opportunity for New Yorkers to get a chance to enjoy Nicaragua's finest in the store or at home," she added.
Oren's Daily Roast with 9 locations in New York – the newest one being on Broadway near Times Square – has been featured in several publications and has been a hallmark of New York coffee since 1986. The coffees will be available in all 9 stores and online at www.orensdailyroast.com.
Since 1999, the Cup of Excellence competition has been hosted in Brazil, Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Bolivia, Colombia and Rwanda with future expansion planned. Each competition is open to all farmers in a producing country.

Goode NE Buttress (9200'), Storm King Mountain (8520') NE aspect of Goode from Storm King (The NE Buttress goes from lower left to the top.) The short version: Stinging nettles, a runaway boot, and stream silt rubbing delicate body parts like sandpaper. Ouch. Plus planes, buses, and beautiful park rangers. Somewhere in there we climbed a couple of mountains, and multi-tasking the whole way donated liters of blood to new generations of mosquitoes and flies. The long version: It was twelve hours after leaping off the couch where Id been burping babies for the past seven months when my hand started to sting. Then my leg. Hey, there are nettles in here! Eric said. Nettles? We were 5 miles up the north fork of Bridge Creek. To get there, Eric and I had driven to Chelan, hopped on a plane yes a plane to Stehekin, emptied the Stehekin Bakery of half its carbs, and ridden a bus to the end of the road. Now, that is the way to climb. Proof of our gentlemen's climbing approachPlane over Lake Chelan We couldnt find any porters to carry us beyond that point, so eventually we had to forego our life of leisure and grunt our way to the base of Mt. Goode. This took us 13 miles by trail before fording the north fork and ambling up to a bivy below the Goode glacier. We were at about mile 13 when the nettles attacked. Bridge Creek, N. Fork confluence Nettles?!! I couldnt believe it, even as another jolt hit my right leg. It was like being hooked to 500 tiny electric wires controlled by an evil genius. WTF? How did nettles get up this valley? I decided it must be horses that did it. Some friggin horse carried in some nettle seeds and now they had taken over. Horses dont eat nettles, do they? Eric was skeptical about my horse theory. I dont know. It could be in their poop. Or maybe they carried seeds on their legs. Evil little ponies. It turns out that horses probably are not to blame, and I now apologize to the equine world for harboring such dark thoughts about them. Later a ranger told us there simply are nettles up the North Fork of Bridge Creek. Its a unique little micro climate, she said after seeking us out. No one has been up there to report on conditions this year. So, how bad are the nettles? How bad? Here, let me practice acupuncture on you. Do you have 500 needles? For me, the nettles are sufficient reason to stay away from the place. Or bring a horse, so you can ride above them. Just watch what's in their poop. About a mile beyond Grizzly Camp on the North Fork trail the Nettles Mile we turned left (west) and forded the creek. Expert outdoorsmen, we timed our crossing perfectly for late afternoon, when the flow was at its peak. Here is Eric emerging from the ford, smiling at nearly having his navel scoured clean in the middle of the stream: Fording the N. Fork of Bridge CreekN. Fork Bridge Creek Our next days objective the NE buttress of Goode pointed right at us: Goode and NE Buttress, from valley floorStorm King from N. Fork Bridge Creek Then we scrambled west up slabs and into slide alder. Now, I know a thing or two about slide alder, and mostly what I know is that it and I dont like each other. Its like a dysfunctional relationship with a former girlfriend: We try to avoid each other but were always getting tangled up. Emerging from the brush Fortunately, this time the brush was not too bad and soon we were setting up camp on a beautiful little knoll. Views down the valley, north to Logan, NW to Storm King, and west to the buttress. Nettles be damned this bivy spot made it all worth it. Looking down at N. ForkMt. Logan Morning light on NE ButtressMorning light on Storm King The bivy was nice, but we had a mountain to climb. So the next morning we walked up the Goode Glacier and found a way onto the NE Buttress. Goode glacier, with NE ButtressStorm King and Goode Glacier Mt LoganGoode Glacier Storm King, from Goode GlacierBergschrund onto NE Buttress Eric steps off snow onto rock for the next 2800 feet: Getting onto the buttress From here it was 2800 feet of pure rock fun to the top. By this time we had to go over the mountain, because Im telling you, it was easier than going back home through those nettles. After gaining the rock Eric led one traversing pitch to obtain the buttress proper, and then we stashed the rope and scrambled up about 1000 feet. Eric then led as we simulclimbed the rest of the way. There was an occasional 5th class move, but it was mostly 3rd and 4th class. I trucked my rock shoes all the way in, but left them in the pack and climbed in my boots. Lower buttressLower buttressEric on lower buttress N.

You dont get a buzz like that from calendar pictures: Goode ridgeBuckner, from Goode Bonanza, from GoodeEntiats(?) and BonanzaBuckner, Forbidden, Eldorado We did not find a register, but the deluxe bivy sites at the summit make this a candidate for the worlds Best Place to Spend a Night. Deluxe bivy on Goode We, however, had different plans, so we rappelled into the SW couloir and found another marvelous bivy spot at 7400 feet below Goodes SW wall. Eric on GoodeThe way down - the SW gully Snow field on SW side of GoodeSW side of Goode, from bivy #2SW face of Goode From here we could see the towers of Storm Kings west side: Storm King from our bivyStorm King's towers The next morning we stumbled out of camp by 6:30 am for the 1 mile traverse at 7400 feet to the base of Storm Kings summit towers. I had left Beckeys route description of the supposedly class 4 scramble in the tent. So, instead of going to the left of the face on the east tower, we convinced ourselves that a gully on the right was the best route: Eric at the top of Storm King gullyJon pulling rappel ropes at base of nasty gully But this is not class 4, I complained. Shut up, stop whining, and keep up, Eric replied. Its a Beckey class 4. Actually, Eric said no such thing because he is too classy. He didnt even push a rock down at me. He could have, however. The right-side gully has a 3-4 foot diameter chockstone that I swear is held in place by a minor protrusion about the size of a dime. I had visions of it becoming dislodged and smearing me into a grease puddle. We both stemmed over it without so much as touching it. Compared to Goodes nice rock, the looseness on Storm King is a pain. But it is a short-lived pain and soon we were looking at the notes in the register on the top. Now, it turns out that Storm King has a namesake: One of my kids has been Storm King since she was kicking her mother from inside. The doctors at the hospital even started calling her Storm King. These pics might help in telling them apart: Storm King, the mountainStorm King, the kid It was then that I made: Bonehead Decision #1 I said that I carried rock shoes the whole time without using them. Thats not quite true. After summiting Storm King (the mountain), we packed up and headed down Goodes west-side slopes to the Park Creek trail to return to Stehekin. A short way into the descent I took my boot off to shake out a few pebbles, and casually set the boot down while soaking up the views. The boot started rolling down the hill. I mean, really rolling. That boot was made for rolling, and thats just what it did. I peered over a minor bluff to watch it bounce 15 feet into the air and into a gully and out of sight. I guess the boot was ready to get off that hill. I must have been slowing it down. But now I had a dilemma. How do you get down the mountain with only one boot? Hop? Wrap your foot in duct tape? Youre screwed, man, Eric shook his head. He probably was calculating whether he could ditch me and still catch a ride back to Chelan on time. I mean, he already had hauled me up two mountains. A guy can only do so much. I would emerge from the hills eventually, hopping on a bloody stump where my left foot used to be. Hey, but I have my rock shoes! My hope shot up. As I said, Eric repeated, Youre screwed. So I pulled my left rock shoe out of the pack and began hobbling down the hill like a guy in ballerina shoes. Which, come to think of it, I was. This was going to be painful. Stylin' footware, only 14 miles to go Fortunately, we or rather, Eric soon found my boot about 300 yards downhill at the bottom of the gully. I was saved. Until later, that is. Stopping 5 miles from the High Bridge bus stop near Stehekin, I engaged in ... Bonehead Decision #2: which was to take a bath in a shallow stream. It was only about 190 degrees that day, so the cold water felt good. But I soon began to chafe in delicate places. The chafing came out of nowhere, and nothing I did even walking like I just got off a horse helped. We caught the bus into Stehekin and I strode around town like a gunslinger until I figured out the problem. I had stirred up silt in the stream, some of which had lodged in places of my body that are not meant for silt. The fine sand was grinding away like sandpaper with every step I took. [Picture deleted by the decency police] So, beginning with nettles and ending with sandpapered underwear, this trip had a few wincing moments. But it is beautiful and lonely in that corner of the North Cascades. Im going again sometime. But next time Ill glue my boot to my foot and forego any sitzbath.

UPDATED 11:10 a.m.
A fire is burning on the U.S. Marines' Camp Pendleton in northern San Diego County, and smoke is blowing north into the Santa Clarita Valley, according to an L.A. County fire official.
Marine firefighters were on the scene and battling the blaze, dubbed the "November Fire," and that it was 100 percent contained, said Corporal Gabriela Gonzalez, USMC spokeswoman.
The fire burned between 1,400 and 1,900 acres, but damaged no structures, she said. She added that power on the base has not been interrupted, and normal base operations have not been affected. She said the fire's cause is unknown at this time.
The Camp Pendleton golf course and riding trails are closed until further notice, Gonzalez said.
Meanwhile, the South Coast Air Quality Management District calls for moderate air quality in the SCV today.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency offers the following tips for avoiding adverse health effects caused by smoke.
* Pay attention to local air quality reports and stay alert to any news coverage or health warnings related to smoke.
* Use common sense. If it looks smoky outside, it's probably not a good time to mow the lawn or go for a run. And it's probably not a good time for your children to play outdoors.
* If you are advised to stay indoors, take steps to keep indoor air as clean as possible. Keep your windows and doors closed - unless it's extremely hot outside.
* Check the Air Quality Index (AQI) forecast for your area. The links to this information are on the left menu bar of the this page. The AQI, based on data from local air quality monitors, tells you about the daily air quality in your area and recommends precautions you can take to protect your health. As smoke gets worse, the concentration of particles in the air changes - and so do the steps you should take to protect yourself.
* Run your air conditioner, if you have one. Keep the fresh air intake closed and the filter clean to prevent bringing additional smoke inside. Note: If you don't have an air conditioner, staying inside with the windows closed may be dangerous in extremely hot weather. In these cases, seek alternative shelter.
* Help keep particle levels inside lower. When smoke levels are high, try to avoid using anything that burns, such as wood fireplaces, gas logs, gas stoves - and even candles! Don't vacuum. That stirs up particles already inside your home. And don't smoke. That puts even more pollution in your lungs, and in the lungs of people around you.If you have asthma or other lung disease, make sure you follow your doctor's directions about taking your medicines and following your asthma management plan. Call your doctor if your symptoms worsen.
* If you have heart or lung disease, if you are an older adult, or if you have children, talk with your doctor about whether and when you should leave the area. When smoke is heavy for a prolonged period of time, fine particles can build up indoors even though you may not be able to see them.
Health Effects of Smoke
Smoke is made up of a complex mixture of gases and fine particles produced when wood and other organic matter burn. The biggest health threat from smoke comes from fine particles.=
These microscopic particles can get into your eyes and respiratory system, where they can cause health problems such as burning eyes, runny nose, and illnesses such as bronchitis.
Fine particles also can aggravate chronic heart and lung diseases - and even are linked to premature deaths in people with these conditions.
If you have heart or lung disease, such as congestive heart failure, angina, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema or asthma, you may experience health effects earlier and at lower smoke levels than healthy people.
Older adults are more likely to be affected by smoke, possibly because they are more likely to have heart or lung diseases than younger people.
Children also are more susceptible to smoke for several reasons: their respiratory systems are still developing; they breathe more air (and air pollution) per pound of body weight than adults; and they're more likely to be active outdoors.

The Walgreens Distribution Center in Anderson, S.C. is making a difference and setting an example.
"I'm happy. I'm contented," said employee Julia Turner. "I've got people all around me who are the best friends I've ever had in the whole world."
Julia and more than 40 percent of the 700 workers there are disabled.
She has Down's Syndrome.
A co-worker of hers is mentally disabled. Another is wheelchair bound.
And the person who recruited most of them, Angela Mackey, has Cerebral Palsy.
"I hope that from my work and from this program I'm showing that disability or not, we all have potential. We all have value," she said.
Disabled workers and those without disabilities do many of the same jobs and earn the same pay.
"Corporate america thinks they need to give someone with a disability an easier job," Luann Bannister, another Walgreens employee, said. "Everyone here is on equal ground."
Walgreens executive Randy Lewis is behind the difference.
Lewis has a 19-year-old son with autism.
"As a parent I saw the future and so the question is, given our position, maybe we could be an example, maybe we could use our position of leadership to try to change the work environment," he explained.
Lewis added that the Anderson Center just as productive as other distribution centers.
"People come to me and ask, 'can this work in my environment?'" he began. "Absolutely, It's not only a good thing to do, it's the right thing to do."

Given the prevalence of school shootings over the last decade, let alone the last six months, several area schools are conducting elevated lockdown drills that involve a mock shooter and a legitimate emergency response team. Clarence High School had this type of drill April 17.
Concerns regarding the realism of the event surfaced among parents prior to the drill, and that, coupled with ill students and those who chose not to attend school that particular day – significantly decreased the day's attendance, and, as some would argue, its effectiveness.
Principal Kenneth Smith said that the authenticity of the drill was meant to "be a learning experience that gives us a chance to coordinate our response with emergency responders, an opportunity that we don't have that often."
Still, Smith understands the uneasiness within the community: "My guess is that there are parents and/or students that might have some stress and anxiety with respect to going through a real-life situation, and the district [came] in contact with Erie County Mental Health [Department] who [offered] two mental health providers on campus that day in addition to our six counselors." However reassuring, that fact did not increase attendance the day of the drill.
After the students convened in the gym for a short briefing by Smith, they proceeded to class until the drill officially began.
The mock shooter announced his presence via whistle. The "gunman" then wandered the halls, taking victims (students who had volunteered prior to the drill) and jiggling the occasional door handle.
Senior Kristina Back said, "My class didn't even know it was happening. We had chips and food, and forgot about the drill for the most part."
After a 40-minute class period spent away from any doors and windows, the PA system rang with the announcement that the drill was over. What had been advertised as a very real experience ended up fueling substantial discussion within the learning community in regard to the drill's legitimacy.
A few students and faculty members expressed their opinions about the drill.
Did the drill live up to the hype?
Garrett Silver (senior): "No. We couldn't hear anything going on."
Danny Richer (junior): "I [wasn't] worried about it, no. It was all controlled."
Matthew Andrews (AP Psychology/Regents Government teacher): "It seemed reasonably uneventful for an event that was built up so much. In the end, it was just kind of there."
Kim Carlson (senior): "With only about a third of the kids there, it would be difficult to gauge what would have actually happened. We know how the procedures work with 10 kids in a classroom, but what happens when we take those same procedures and try to incorporate 30 kids?"
Should attendance have been mandatory for students?
Jack Welsh (sophomore): "No. This will do nothing for the students. The district should've done this on a superintendent's day."
Cailey Martin (senior): "Yes, because we're not going to have a choice whether or not to come in if a shooting actually happens."
Sydney Daost-Filliatrault (senior): "It seemed relatively useless for the students to come in today."
Tom Jones (senior): "I personally chose to stay home during the drill because I knew my attendance wasn't vital, and that in that actual scenario, my only job would be to follow directions."
Should the duration of the drill have been longer/shorter?
Haley Filippone (junior): "It should have been longer without a doubt, it would've been more realistic."
Matthew Andrews: "One of two options would have been better, in my opinion: either a longer drill as originally planned, or a series of shorter drills in which case we would see something similar to the fire drill effect. [Students] have become so desensitized to fire drills that they lack the sort of tension this drill had, and [their] reaction and evacuation is essentially second nature by now."
Katie Milone (senior): "It definitely should have been longer. A real shooter wouldn't be in and out in one period."
Kristen Cipresso (senior): "Longer for sure. This was so short, it just seemed like a waste."
Would the drill have been more effective if the students didn't know about it in advance?
Katie Milone: "I don't think that would be safe. Everyone would freak out and think something was actually happening, which would be more chaotic than useful."
Erin Welsh (junior): "Yes, as telling us it's a drill takes away from the effectiveness of the drill."
Kristina Back: "I personally think that the drill should've been more surprising because it would've had more of an effect on the students."
Matthew Andrews: "An unannounced drill or a drill during passing time or lunch period runs the risk of peripheral injury, which is something everyone wants to avoid in a drill scenario."
Danny Richer: "Yes and no; this is sort of becoming our generation's duck and cover."
Should an evacuation procedure have been practiced?
Claire Badhorn (senior): "I would've rather practiced an evacuation drill than the holding procedure."
Kim Carlson: "Emphatic yes. The district should really look into investing in escape ladders for the second-story classrooms."
Matthew Andrews: "I think individual classroom evacuation would have been beneficial considering everyone recognizes the pictures of the first responders leading the Newtown kids out of the school with their hands on each other's shoulders but has no working knowledge on how to safely mimic that sort of procedure. It would have helped first responders understand the intricacies of the building and been beneficial for the students along with keeping them more engaged in the drill."
Kristina Back: "No, because in a real-life version of this, I'd rather stay inside. There would be no way to know where the gunman would be, and leaving would be too risky."
Katie Milone: "The school should at least look into getting fire ladders for the higher floors."
Was the drill, as a whole, successful?
Stephen Mazurchuk (senior): "Eh … this discussion helped more than the actual drill."
Danny Richer: "I'm not sure, but it seems impossible to anticipate how it actually would've went down; there are too many variables."
Matthew Andrews: "The attendance was damaged to the point that the drill was rendered reasonably ineffective for students and staff. The concerns expressed adjusted something that would have been better in its original form. As a teacher, it comes down to what we actually did today and if it was worth a lost instructional day, and it didn't really seem like it was, in this case, that is. I believe it was very beneficial for the first responders and those directly involved with the drill, though."
Katie Milone: "Today's wasn't, but a longer one might've been."
Danielle Grimm is a senior at Clarence High School.

Nashville - The Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra, a community orchestra with over 70 members, is presenting two free spring concerts entitled, "The NPO in 3-D: Debussy, Dvorak, Don Hart, " on Sunday, March 6, and Tuesday, March 8, 2011, both starting at 7 p.m. The Sunday, March 6th concert will be held at Haywood Hills Baptist Church, 255 Haywood Lane in Nashville, followed by the Tues., March 8th concert at Ensworth High School Theater, 7401 Highway 100, Nashville. Under the baton of Music Director Christopher Norton, the Nashville Philharmonic's music repertoire for both concerts will include: Fanfare by Nashville-based composer, arranger, producer and orchestrator Don Hart; Claude Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun; and Antonin Dvořák's Symphony No. 8 in G major, Op. 88, B 163. Over the past 30 years, you could have dropped in on Don Hart and found him writing with rock band Phish's front man Trey Anastasio, arranging horns for a pop artist like Amy Grant, or writing lush string arrangements for country megastars like Martina McBride.
If you were watching TV, you might have heard his work in a national advertisement, or in a series for A & E, CNN, TBS, or the History Channel. Staying up late, you might have seen him finish his most recent symphonic arrangement or composition, slated for performance with a major U.S. orchestra such as the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, or the New York Philharmonic.
Hart has put his unique and award-winning sound on future hit songs in genres ranging form country to pop, gospel to rock, and earning Grammy, Clio, Dove, and even Parent's Choice awards and honors. His composition, Fanfare, is one not to be missed. Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun is the English title to "Prélude á l'après-midi d'un faune," a symphonic poem for orchestra by Claude Debussy. It was first performed in Paris on December 22, 1894 and conducted by Gustave Doret. The composition was inspired by the poem L'Après-midi d'un faune by Stéphane Mallarmé, and later formed the basis for a ballet choreographed by Vaslav Nijinsky. It is one of Debussy's most famous works and is considered a turning point in the history of music. Symphony No. 8 in G major, Op. 88, B 163 was composed and orchestrated by Antonin Dvořák within the two-and-a-half-month period from August 26 to November 8, 1889 in Bohemia.
He noted that the score was dedicated, "to the Bohemian Academy of Emperor Franz Joseph for the Encouragement of Arts and Literature, in thanks for my election." Dvořák conducted the premiere in Prague on February 2, 1890. The Eighth Symphony is cheery and draws its inspiration more from the Bohemian folk music that Dvořák loved. Admission to all performances is free and open to the public. For further information, call 615.383.1800, or visit www.nashvillephilharmonic.org. The Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra is a volunteer community orchestra of over 70 members with differing skill levels who play a diverse range of orchestral music for community audiences throughout Middle Tennessee. The orchestra routinely features area soloists and new music by local composers. Dr. Christopher Norton, professor of music at Belmont University, has served as its music director and conductor since 2008. NPO was founded in 2004 by Kelly Corcoran (currently associate conductor of the Nashville Symphony) as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. It is an incorporated association organized for recreational and educational purposes, providing performances that are free and open to the public. Those organizations or businesses interested in providing a venue for future Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra concerts, or serving as a corporate sponsor for any of its upcoming performances, may contact Tibby Christenberry at 615-330-7797, or email@example.com.

Most of the attention Saturday night was placed on Arturo Gatti, who fought for the last time as a professional, and the Antonio Margarito-Paul Williams WBO welterweight title bout.
But the most impressive performance that night was put on by IBF 147-pound champion Kermit Cintron, the Reading, Pa., resident who stopped Walter Maythysee with a devastating right hand in the second round. The Cintron and Gatti fights were held at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Margarito-Williams took place in California. All three fights aired on HBO.

I know this will sound strange, but I need a way that the OP/POSTER can NOT change the subject of the first post of a topic.
Let me explain, I have setup the forum as an help forum, so ONLY the original OP/POSTER can post, edit, delete, etc. in a topic.
I as admin, first create the topic and then change the POSTER to the OP/USER whom will handle that topic, so I have set the subject.
I do NOT want the OP to be able to change the subject in the first post.
Any replies (new posts) he makes, he can change the Re: ... to anything he wants.
I though I was "clever" and used the <!-- IF S_URL --> and the <!-- IF not S_NEW_MESSAGE --> statements to hide the subject field from the OP in the first post edit page ONLY, and that works. Sort of.
The problem whoever is when doing that, phpBB gives an error when editing and then submitting the first post.
It believes the subject is NOT filled in, so does not allow the edit to be submitted.
Anybody have an idea on how to accomplish my strange request?
I have gone through the posting.php, but just by deleting some code from there, did not work. The subject then stayed blank, when I set it to not check for a subject.
Thanks, Ron
PS. Simple lock post and such is not an option, because with my setup, the OP can edit, delete, etc. any post in his/hers topic at any time, even if a reply has been made.

I know I am going to be doing it. I have on my Team so far
Matt Hanson
Paul McKenna
and Me
Brad do you want in this year?
If anyone will take me on their team count me in.
I'm game for a re-run of our team last year if you guys are...
FYI for captains signing up. I'd like all the teams to match this year. Last year we had one Reel Theatre, one Team Reel, and one TVCC... Let's do Team Reel - 1 ( - 2, - 3, etc) or something instead of the number... just so we really stand out in the results.
How about one team that's basically a continuation of the last few years:
We could name the teams something like this :
Team Reel Fast!
Team Reel Slow
Team Reel Snazzy!
Team Reel Sparkle
Team Reel Ponies
I had a blast with our team last year but I think it would be fun to get to ride with different people. I know Rob keeps BEGGING to ride with me. It's a little annoying but what are ya gonna do? : ) So my 2 cents, lets change it up a little.
at this rate, it will be full in a week! I'll register soon to reserve a spot.
It sounds like teams need to act fast. This seems really early but, let the fun begin.
I will drive the green machine again this year.
That was a blast last year. I'll ride with whatever team will take me.
I would love to do this again - I will ride with whoever will take me, I had a blast last year and I promise to get better tires this year :) The team I was on last year was great! Do you wanna try it again?
Teem Reel 1 is registered. The breakdown is $58.10 each. My tentative plan is:
Ladd, Eric, Nate, Rob. I'm flexible, but you'd better have a good reason if there are any changes!!!
BTW -- I spoke with Dan, and it looks like we may even need a fourth team...
Unfortunately Steve, Terry, Matt, and Tony beat you to the punch and are already registered. The good news is that we now have three confirmed teams. We need to get a few more guys to join Jason and fast so that we can have four teams rock'n out there.
Looking good! They're still showing 48 teams registered so far. I see a couple other groups with 3 teams but none with 4 so far, so we'd really be representing if we formed another team or two. :)
I just signed up. Just heard from Rob that James Connelly is in! My Bro. Jon says he is a possibility. Who else wants in?
Looking forward to it. Now I just have to get riding!
Today Tim Anderson committed to team four.
I have invited Bobby Peterson to our Team meeting in January which I believe he will attend. He is interested in joining the team and has already spoken to his brothers about doing Lyle Pearson. Who knows, maybe even five Team Reel's.
We Rock!
I heard rumors that Charise and Jamie were going to be putting together a Team 5 all girls.
I noticed that they are allowing more than 60 teams. It is at 63 right now.
OK, we are signed up!
Jamie, Libby, Jessie and I are on Team Reel 5. Should be fun!
Wow... 5 teams registered? I have to say that we rule. :)
Very cool girls!

Roman fort and settlement at Caergwanaf near Miskin
Geophysical survey and excavation were undertaken on the site of the recently discovered Roman fort and settlement at Caergwanaf near Miskin during 2004. A resistivity survey concentrated on areas to the west and north of the 1.6 ha Roman fort identified in 2003, locating a series of large enclosures on its western side (with evidence for occupation inside Enclosure A) but little sign of activity to the north. Therefore, the Caergwanaf settlement appears to have extended over an area of some 450m from east to west, and approximately 300m from north to south. An intensive resistivity survey within the second to third century iron-working settlement to the south and east of the site confirmed the position of the fort's southern defences. Furthermore, this survey suggests that the southern ditch of Enclosure B followed the line of the fort defences also on the south, raising the possibility that the enigmatic Enclosure B may be a fortlet.
Levelling operations by the farmer early in 2004 removed the topsoil from an area approximately 15m by 50m along the suspected line of the western fort defences, and the opportunity was taken to excavate part of this exposed surface before further damage occurred. The double-ditch system of the western defences was found, together with the location of the western entrance. Although the archaeological deposits had been heavily truncated, the inner V-shaped ditch survived up to 3.5m wide and 1.5m deep, while the outer ditch was at least 1.5m wide and 0.6m deep. The two ditches were interrupted by a gap of approximately 3m that formed the western entrance into the fort. On either side of this gateway the outer ditches became shallower and turned inwards to join the terminals of the inner ditches, thus forming a funnel-shaped entrance that narrowed from 17.5m externally to 11m internally. This corresponds closely with the shape and dimensions of the northern entrance as indicated by the earlier geophysical survey. This arrangement of ditches is sometimes known as a "parrots beak", and is characteristic of many Flavian forts in Scotland. In Wales, a similar system was found at Pen Llystyn and one may occur at Llandeilo (G. Hughes, pers. comm. 2005).
No trace of the road into the gateway survived, but a linear ditch to the south of the entrance and linked to the outer fort ditch by a shallow overflow channel, probably represents the bottom of the southern roadside ditch. A second shallow ditch ran out of the fort on the northern side of the entrance, although on a slightly different alignment from the roadside ditch to the south and passing more directly down slope. This feature may have been connected to a possible roadside drain inside the fort that was identified by previous geophysical work.
A considerable thickness of sediment had filled the fort ditches before they were deliberately backfilled. Although the pottery assemblage recovered during the excavations was limited, the evidence indicates that the ditches were being filled within the period AD70/75 to 80/85. The backfill of several of the ditches contained slag, revealing that iron smelting at Caergwanaf began before the abandonment of the fort.
A deposit of laid stones (possibly the remains of a trackway or path), containing quantities of abraded iron smelting debris and second to third-century pottery, overlay the inner fort ditches. There was little further structural evidence, however, for occupation during this period on this part of the site (in contrast to the excavations undertaken in 2002 which recorded second and third-century material in the ditch of Enclosure C on the hilltop to the southeast and from the iron-working platforms to the east).
After this hiatus, occupation recommenced in the western part of the site during the late third or early fourth centuries, consisting of a ditch running parallel to the outside of the earlier fort defences together with an associated gully, a posthole and several amorphous hollows eroded in the subsoil. These features all yielded a very large quantity of hobnails, ranging from individual examples through to complete soles.
The 2004 excavations indicate a short life-span for the fort at Caergwanaf, which was built and occupied during the early Flavian military consolidation of South Wales. Iron smelting seems to have started on the site before the abandonment of the fort, although the 2002 evidence showed that the major phase of iron-making occurred mainly to the south and east of the demolished fort during the second to early third centuries. Later Roman occupation, on the other hand, appears not to be significant in areas investigated in 2002, perhaps indicating a shift in focus to the west of the site in the late third and fourth centuries.
The 2004 excavations were directed by Peter Guest and Dr Tim Young. The work was funded by the University of Wales (through the Board of Celtic Studies) and the National Museums & Galleries of Wales.

Reaction from Jefferson on casino license approvalUPDATED 12:24 PM CDT Jun 12, 2014
The Racing and Gaming Commission approves a new gaming license for a casino to be built in Jefferson.Video Transcript
Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission announces a decision about a proposed Greene County Casino. A decision that may have caught some by surprise. The Racing and Gaming Commission this morning voted to approve the plan in a narrow 3 to 2 vote. The vote came down just over on hour ago. The 40 million dollar casino plan would feature slot machines, table games, an events center and a 71-room hotel. Commission Chairman Jeff Lamberti says voting for the project was a difficult decision. A recent report ordered by the commission found 22 million dollars of its projected 28 million dollars revenue will come from customers from surrounding casinos. The largest loser would be Prairie Meadows. Today the residents of Greene County who lobbied for the casino are overjoyed. Eric Hanson is in Jefferson with the story Wild Rose, which is behind the Casino, says construction should take approximately 13 months. And the facility would be up and running for a late summer 2015 opening.
