the show started off precisely at 730 while it was still daylight, which meant low energy from the crowd. Felix Cavaliere of the Young Rascals came out first playing the keyboard and immediately cranked out a couple of their hits, which got the crowd 'groovin'. He also played a couple hits from some other artists, which were passable at best. Next came Rick Derringer, who opened up with Hang On Sloopy and told us about the 2nd verse which was banned from radio play (due to sexual innuendos) and naturally closed with Rock N Roll Hootchie Koo. the guy can still kick some butt on the guitar. he was joined by Gary Wright (his two hits came in the mid 70's, so not sure why he was part of the Hippiefest), but he can still belt out the tunes. Mark Farner came on stage, and pretty much blew the crowd away. most people had forgotten how many great hits he was responsible for, and his version of I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home) was truly epic. I'm telling you, the joy he exhibited, the gratefulness of still being around and being able to shred on the guitar the way he did was borderline inspirational (like he says instead of saying "knock em dead" it should be "knock em alive!!). Everyone in the crowd joined in the celebration (especially those who partook in the age old tradition of smoking a joint). At this point, the backup band left, to be replaced by Dave Masons own guys. All I can say is "WOW". it didnt matter what songs he played, each one was better than the last. the only disapointment was that the show had run a bit long, and with the self imposed curfew at the Greek, he didnt have time to play "Only You Know and I Know". That would have been the ultimate capper. Nuff said.

This summer marks the sixth year of Hippiefest, which will feature artists who first achieved stature in the decade that expressed peace, love and happiness. Hippiefest will be one hit right after another providing the ultimate spectacle of music that has spanned the generations meant for all to enjoy.
The tour stops at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, featuring some of the biggest names of the sixties and seventies including Dave Mason (Traffic), Mark Farner (formerly of Grand Funk Railroad), Rick Derringer, Felix Cavaliere's Rascals and Gary Wright.
Dave Mason — who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as co-founder and original member of Traffic in 2004 — will be bringing his guitar and performing hits from Traffic along with those from his impressive solo career. As the guitarist, a vocalist and one of the principal songwriters for the band Traffic, Mason penned one of the band's first and biggest hits, "Hole In My Shoe," followed by another classic hit, "Feelin' Alright." He has had a successful solo career with hits such as, "Only You Know and I Know," and his biggest hit "We Just Disagree," among others.
Shortly after its formation in 1969, Grand Funk Railroad lead singer and guitarist Mark Farner took his American band to the heights of success. Known for numerous hits including; "I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)," "We're An American Band" (which would hit #1 on the Billboard charts in 1973), "Walk Like A Man," "The Loco-Motion," "Shinin' On," "Some Kind of Wonderful" and "Bad Time" among others, the band fortified itself in rock history. Since his days with Grand Funk, Mark has continued to perform with his solo band throughout the world.
It's doubtful that anyone will be sitting in their seats when Rick Derringer breaks into his well-known rock anthem, "Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo." The song continues to be a staple on rock radio and was featured in several movies including The Spirit of '76, Rush, Stag, What A Girl Wants and the cult classic _Dazed and Confused. _Before embarking on this year's Hippiefest tour, Rick will be in Europe with Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band.
Felix Cavaliere of the Rascals also has an incredible catalog of popular songs including three number one hits — "Good Lovin'," "Groovin' " and "People Got To Be Free" — among several Top 20 classics as "A Girl Like You," "I've Been Lonely Too Long," "You Better Run," "It's Wonderful," "A Beautiful Morning" and "How Can I Be Sure" (the latter two of which were Top 5). In June 2009, Felix was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame with former writing partner and Rascals bandmate Eddie Brigati. He's continued to tour over the years, most recently as Felix Cavaliere's Rascals, who will be appearing at this year's Hippiefest.
Gary Wright is best known for his massive hit, "Dream Weaver," and "Love is Alive," both of which would hit the #2 position on the Billboard charts and remain classic rock radio mainstays until this very day. "Dream Weaver" would sell over a million copies shortly after its release and go on to be prominently featured in three major movies:_ Wayne's World, The People vs. Larry Flynt _and Toy Story 3.

|Cracking local pub, worthy of its numerous CAMRA awards. Wednesday night, 12 pumps on mainly smaller breweries . Mobberley Hedge Hopper very nice, well kept as every pint that I saw being served was. In a triangle of pubs that make this area of Salford a real oasis.
TonyMitch - 20 Apr 2016 20:37
|Decided to pay a visit here on Saturday night. More real ale in here than you can shake a stick at! The place was pretty busy for the time of night, not sure if it is always busy or whether the fact they were showing the rugby helped. Evidence that some of the clientele were regulars judging by their metal tankards.
I went for a pint of Squonk by Sadlers, a pale and very pleasant tasting ale. Was very tempted to stay for a second (different) ale but we had a few pubs to tick off the list that night so decided to move on after one. Would definitely be willing to go back.
RealAleRobUK - 21 Mar 2016 20:29
|The best pub in Salford bar none. Great selection of real ales and cider nice and clean and with knowledgeable staff who have pride in the beer.

This review is from: Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset
Pros: This is my second purchase of the Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset. I had my previous pair for over a year when one of my kid's tripped on the cord and ripped it our of the plug. Since they are priced so reasonably I bought another. This is a great headset for music and gaming plus the construction quality is really good. I highly recommend this headset.
Cons: None really...
Other Thoughts: The only way to make these better in my book is to come up with a wireless version.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: I've purchased 3 of these monitors over the past year. I personally have been using two of them. Great picture and resolution. Works great in a dual monitor setup. Well built and a great bang for the buck!
Cons: The speakers are not that great but for my application it is not an issue
Other Thoughts: I highly recommend this monitor if you want a good value.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: SilverStone RAVEN RV02-BW Matte black 0.8mm Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Pros: Before giving a review of a product I like to use it for a while. I purchased this case over 8 months ago and here is what I find:
Quiet, well built, and plenty of room. Those 3 things sum up this case for me. It also provides incredible quiet cooling with filtered fans. Due to the large size and open area this was the easiest and cleanest build I have ever made. Wire management was extremely easy.
Cons: To make this a perfect case for me Silverstone needs to add USB 3 ports and come up with a better/simpler SSD mount. Lowering the retail price a little wouldn't hurt either. Adding different colors would be a nice addition also.
None of these minor issues comes close to a deal breaker in my book.
Other Thoughts: If this model is still around by the time I build my next one I will definitely buy another.READ FULL REVIEW

Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson recalls his friend Michael R. Schurman as "the go-to guy in county government."
"When you wanted to get something done, and done right, you went to Michael," he said.
After a career as a newspaper, radio, and TV reporter, Mr. Schurman was Atlantic County highway safety director from 1990 to 2011.
"He was an extraordinary man," Levinson said.
On Sunday, July 20, Mr. Schurman, 71, of Northfield, N.J., died of complications from Alzheimer's disease at his home.
"I've known Michael for over 40 years, mostly as a radio man, a newspaperman, and, most importantly, as a friend," Levinson said.

Good afternoon and welcome to the Mirror Online live blog for Day 3 of the Cheltenham Festival.
Tuesday saw Willie Mullins take centre stage with a hat-trick of winners on the first day of the Festival.
And yesterday saw superstar horse Sprinter Sacre stamp his class on the field in the Queen Mother Champion Chase.
What can we expect today? Here's the lineup:
1:30 Jewson Novices' Chase - David Pipe-trained DYNASTE heads the betting for the first race of the day
2:05 Pertemps Final - SAM WINNER and SHUTTHEFRONTDOOR are expected to show well in this three-miler
2:40 Ryanair Chase - CUE CARD offers some value for Colin Tizzard in this one
3:20 Ladbrokes World Hurdle - The feature race of the day is wise open, with BOG WARRIOR our tipster's pick to prevail
4:00 Byrne Group Plate - A 24-runner Grade 3 chase, with VINO GRIEGO topping our list of ones to watch
4:40 Fulke Walwun Kim Muir Challenge Cup Handicap Chase - Punters looking for a big-priced selection can find plenty to choose from in this one
5:15 Glenfarclas Handicap Chase (Cross Country) - Rearranged from Day 1, OUTLAW PETE is our man's pick to win the final race of the day
Poor old Simon Clare — he was unlucky with his £1,000 worth of bets for the Children's Hospice South West yesterday — but we still won some money.
A dividend of £600 looked assured on Boston Bob, but he fell at the last when clear in the RSA Chase.
Simon went agonisingly close with Meister Eckhart in the Coral Cup, but his second place earned £300 for his placing and Ericht's fifth turned around £200 from Stan James to put the weekly tally at £2,182.59.
Sir Alex Ferguson hailed "magical" Sprinter Sacre as racing's new superstar cantered to victory in the Queen Mother Champion Chase.
Keen racing fan Sir Alex Ferguson came to Cheltenham to pay homage to Nicky Henderson's powerhouse SPRINTER SACRE - and was in awe of the 1-4 hotpot's 19-length demolition job on 2011 title holder Sizing Europe.
"It was sensational," said the Manchester United boss. "I thought it was going to be a race three out. Then, all of a sudden, there was a gear change.
"You see the athleticism of the horse – it's magical. I said to myself in the parade ring, 'What a horse that is!
"He looks a winner before he's even onto the course."
If it's value selections you're looking for today, look no further than our Value Scope picks, as selected by Mirror Racing's Dave Mitchell.
His quartet of selections for today's racing are:
Another of our regular betting experts, John Shaw, has also shared his irreverent stories and pick of the day ahead of today's packed racecard.
The focus of his Bet of the Day is the feature race, the Ladbrokes World Hurdle.
Channel 4 have just kicked off with a highlights montage of a certain racehorse, soundtracked by James Brown's "The Boss".
No prizes for guessing which horse they're profiling...
Online bookies CORAL will be hoping their website can stand up to the demand of punters rushing to back their favourites today after having a day to forget yesterday.
The bookies were last night counting the cost of a website crash that compounded the £1million incurred as a result of Sprinter Sacre's Queen Mother Champion Chase romp.
The Barking firm laid over 50,000 online and phone customers even-money at up to £20 about 1-4 shot Sprinter Sacre in the Wednesday feature.
But a surge of traffic in the wake of the seven-year-old's 19-length win brought Coral's website down for the remaining three races of yesterday's card.
"We've been the victim of our own success and we apologise for the inconvenience cause," explained Coral's Simon Clare.
"As soon as Sprinter Sacre had crossed the line, a great many of the 50,000 customers logged on to redeem their money or to place further bets with it.
"That traffic caused a crash, and cost us dear – the last three races were won by Medinas at 33-1, Flaxen Flare at 25-1 and Briar Hill at 25-1, so we missed out on the chance to get some of the £1million liability on Sprinter Sacre back.
"The website is now back up and will be working as normal [on Thursday]."
Speaking of SPRINTER SACRE, our man at the track David Yates caught up with trainer Nicky Henderson to get his take on a successful, but stressful, day yesterday.
A dewy-eyed Henderson lauded "nearly the perfect racehorse" as Sprinter Sacre dismissed his Queen Mother Champion Chase rivals with contempt yesterday.
The seven-year-old, whose looks match his prodigious power on the racecourse, came to Cheltenham undefeated in seven steeplechases, won by an aggregate 95 lengths.
The 1-4 favourite duly broke through the three-figure distance barrier as he jumped to the front three fences from home under Barry Geraghty and left 2011 Champion Chaser Sizing Europe toiling in his wake to win by 19 lengths.
Henderson, visibly moved as he unsaddled jump racing's brightest star, gushed: "He's nearly the perfect racehorse.
"He's got that whole thing – an unbelievable aura – about him that says, 'Look at me! Now watch me!
"He knows he's good, and he likes to tell everybody that he's good. He doesn't hide it under a bushel, does he?"
Henderson has trained some of National Hunt racing's greatest names, including the likes of Cheltenham heroes Long Run, Bobs Worth, Binocular and Remittance Man – but the most successful handler in Festival history is convinced Sprinter Sacre is the best of the lot.
"You would have to say that now," added the Seven Barrows man, who may give the horse he calls 'the big black aeroplane' a seasonal swansong at Punchestown next month.
"He's a proper racehorse doing what steeplechasing is all about, and he's shown today what he's threatened to be.
"It's a true privilege for us to have a horse like this. That was scary."
The races will be run on the NEW course at Cheltenham today after the previous two days were run on the old course.
The going has been described as GOOD TO SOFT, GOOD IN PLACES.
And there's good news for fans hoping to see the cross country race that was postponed from Tuesday.
The Glen Farclas Handicap Chase is DEFINITELY ON after the cross country course passed an inspection earlier this morning.
That will be the final race of the day, at 5:15pm.
From @MirrorRacing on Twitter:
"Dynaste's chance of winning the opening Jewson Chase divides opinion, but David Pipe's horse is popular with punters."
The Jewson Chase is our first race of the day, with the runners heading off at 1:30pm
Willie Mullins currently sits at the top of the Cheltenham Festival trainer standings after two days of racing.
Mullins has trained five winners so far this week, with Nicky Henderson second in the rankings with three.
It's been a tricky Cheltenham so far for fellow top trainer Paul Nicholls, though. He is still waiting for his first winner of the week.
Channel 4 racing reporter Gina Bryce found herself in a little trouble with the photographers at Cheltenham just now, as she explained on her Twitter @GinaBryce:
"Wondered why the photographers were going wild...I was walking in front of Pippa Middleton! Oops!! #scrum"
We've a couple of early non-runners to bring you this afternoon:
CLOUDY SPIRIT will not run in the 3:20
DOMTALINE is out of the 4:00
We've just been given word of an OFFICIAL change in the going at Cheltenham for today's races.
Chase and Hurdle courses (New Course) are now rated as GOOD TO SOFT (GOOD IN PLACES).
We're just over 20 minutes away from the off in our first race of the day, the Jewson Novices Chase. If you're planning on getting a bet on, now might not be a bad time.
That change in the going should help World Hurdle favourite OSCAR WHISKY, according to his jockey Barry Geraghty.
Talking to Clare Balding on Channel 4, he explained: "The better ground will play to his strengths".
We'll find out whether that change in conditions helps Oscar Whisky to victory when he runs at 3:20 this afternoon.
Want today's PRO-BET selection? Look no further...
Our Pro-Bet pick for today's card at Cheltenham is SHUTTHEFRONTDOOR in the 2:05, the Pertemps Final.
He showed further improvement when completing his hat-trick at Carlisle last time – the second and third have both run well since.
The winning margin was only half a length but Tony McCoy always gave the impression he had everything covered.
Trainer Jonjo O'Neill has won this race three times so knows what is needed. Have 2pts win.
We're just ten minutes away from the first race of the day, the Jewson Novices' Chase, a Grade 2 event run over 2m 4f.
Thirteen runners are expected to line up for this, with David Pipe-trained grey DYNASTE the horse to beat.
Here's Newsboy's 1-2-3 prediction and preview for our Day 3 opener:
Dynaste, whose trainer David Pipe has opted for the two-and-a-half-mile Jewson rather than the three-mile RSA Chase, is hard to get away from.
We know from his hurdling days – he is officially rated 161 over smaller obstacles – that the Nicholashayne grey has plenty under the bonnet.
But he is promising to go to an even higher level over fences, after gaining three comfortable successes from his first three outings in the sphere.
First time up, he tackled top-level hurdler Fingal Bay over two and a half miles at the Open meeting here in November, and gave a polish round of jumping to score by four and a half lengths.
He had the same margin in hand of Court In Motion at Newbury at the end of November before taking in the Grade 1 Feltham Novices' Chase on Kempton's King George VI Chase undercard at Christmas.
Again clearing the obstacles with panache, Tom Scudamore's mount justified odds-on favouritism by nine lengths from Hadrian's Approach, and has more than enough speed to cope with the step back in trip.
Captain Conan is unbeaten in three starts over fences, including victories in the Grade 1 Henry VIII and Scilly Isles Novices' Chases at Sandown on his last two outings.
It was a close-run thing when he collared Third Intention to win by a neck over this trip last time, but Nicky Henderson is adamant is man is a lot better than that.
Tom George's Module looks promising, while Aupcharlie can improve his jumping.
The bell has gone and the jockeys are mounting up ahead of the first race of the day, the 1:30 Jewson Novices' Chase.
There are eight British-trained horses and five Irish-trained horses in this race. Can Willie Mullins add to his ever-growing list of Cheltenham winners with his entries, AUPCHARLIE and MARITO?
They'll have a tough job on their hands if the betting has anything to go by, with DYNASTE the clear favourite.
Pippa Middleton is here at Cheltenham for today's racing, though we're not quite sure if she's got any money on this first race.
Given that she's bedecked in a full-length yellow coat, she could back AUPCHARLIE or DYNASTE, whose jockeys are both wearing yellow silks.

David Newton (2:00 PM)
Auto update turned on and ready to roll. Let's get right to it.
Burt (TN)
Who was the most recent driver to burst on the scene like Brad K has? I have been very impressed how good he has gotten in such a short time. Do you think he is for real?
David Newton (2:01 PM)
Hmmm. A driver that good, you probably have go to back to Kyle Busch. Only folks expected Kyle to be good right off the bad. Not so sure they expected it from Brad K. Not that he came out of nowwhere, but in a way he did. He's been great for the sport.
Andrew (NH)
How is the racing going to be this weekend? Will they actually be able to race, or do they overheat to easily and have to wait for the last 10 laps?
David Newton (2:02 PM)
Probably not much different than it was in the spring. They'll be able to race. The question is, how many of the Chasers will ride around at the back to avoid trouble. I like what Brad K says about that. Check out his comments in my column. I think you'll appreciate them. http://es.pn/Uich2E
Jake (Irving TX)
I won't lie. I don't like Kyle. I respect him as a driver though. That being said, how much longer till the sponsors tire of his act? Kinda like Kurt?
David Newton (2:04 PM)
He's a long way, I believe, from getting to where Kurt is. I really had been impressed with how he handled missing the Chase. Maybe what happened Sunday was all that frustration coming to a head. But you want your driver to be passionate, so you have to appreciate that. Sponsors do.
Verny (NJ)
Do you think KBM will eventually have to field cars for both Busch kids? Owners and sponsors are not going to put up with them forever.
David Newton (2:05 PM)
Not for a while at least. Kyle is finding out it isn't easy being an owner. Remember when they talked about winning every NW race this year. Hasn't been close. Kyle is winless in that series. But I could see Monster Energy moving to Cup with Kyle one day. Just not sure it will be his own team.
Hank (Brewer Me)
It sounded from Denny's comments that JGR made a conscious decision to sacrifice fuel savings for HP. And certainly the cars performed that way. Are we just seeing a momentary meltdown from Kyle or does this bring up the question of whether or not he will resign with any Toyota team?
David Newton (2:06 PM)
You read correctly. That is why Kyle's comments were out of line. They do make you wonder if he'll be in a hurry to re-sign even though J.D. Gibbs tells me he believes Kyle wants to be back and will be back after 2013. There also are rumors -- nothing more, mind you -- that SHR could be a player in 2014.
Frank (Kingston, Pa)
Once again we see Roush starting out well only to plateau. It seems that is take Roush longer to come up to speed after a rule change (e.g. recent bushing rule). Is this indicative of Jack's style of management. This pattern has occurred going back to at least the COT
David Newton (2:07 PM)
There wasn't a rule change. There was just a reminder not to push the limits any further than they have been pushed. What's puzzing is Roush told me before the Chase opener they had their best cars and a few things up their sleeves that should potentially make them better than the Hendrick cars. For some reason whatever they have done hasn't worked. It happens.
Zach Cross (Church Hill)
Do you think Kyle Busch is going to leave JGR after next season.
David Newton (2:08 PM)
Not really, but I didn't think Matt Kenseth would leave Roush. So what do I know?
jason (illinois)
Do you think there is a legit chance that Kyle won't re-sign with Gibbs? If so, do you think SHR would be an option or would he bring up KBM?
David Newton (2:08 PM)
There is a legit chance, although I say unlikely. And SHR would be the target from what I hear.
Matt (Kansas)
Wouldn't you say RCR is an overrated team? No cup titles since 1994. Since Dale dies they really haven't been a title contender besides a few odd years from Harvick
David Newton (2:10 PM)
Harvick was a contender the past two years until the final race. And Jeff Burton led the standings with five to go a few years ago. Look, it's not easy winning titles in NASCAR, which makes what Hendrick has done all the more impressive. You could say RCR is overrated like you have, but then you'd have to call out a few other organizations as well.
NIck (Detroit)
Kyle has all the talent in the world but is not mentally strong. I honestly expetc him to just flip out on the track and start wrecking people on purpose (ala texas last year)
David Newton (2:10 PM)
Won't happen.
Jacob (Wellston, Ok)
Newt, I am really disappointed in Chevy not releasing their 2013 car while the other makes have, and truth be told the longer they wait the more I lose interest. Any chance we see the car before Charlotte?
David Newton (2:12 PM)
I believe all the manufacturers were represented at Talladega on Wednesday. Kasey Kahne drove the new car for HMS.
Hank (Brewer Me)
Just read your article on expected apology and White confirming they chose HP over fuel economy. Thanks for confirming why the JGR cars were so fast at Dover
David Newton (2:12 PM)
You're welcome.
Larry (MI)
Dover was a tough watch for me. 100 laps in and 7 cars on the lead lap. Hopefully dega will be more exciting. the top 3 will probably play it safe while the other 9 will be looking to race hard to get back in this. who sitting 4th-9th is your best bet coming out of dega being back in the hunt?
David Newton (2:13 PM)
It was tough for a lot of people. Be thankful it wasn't a 500-miler like it has been in the past. Having said that, I was on the edge of my seat at the end wondering if Brad K would run out of gas.
Jay (GA)
Where do you see Regan Smith in 2013? RPM? Front Row? JRM?
David Newton (2:13 PM)
Hearing he could go in the No. 51 at Phoenix Racing.
greg (wi)
I know Roush is down as a whole, but as a kenseth fan, I've been extremely disappointed with how matt's last hurrah in the 17 has gone. Falling behind performance wise is one thing, but cars that literally fall apart is another. I find it very, very suspicious. Not saying it is a conspiracy, but it is extremely odd, right?
David Newton (2:14 PM)
Listen, Jack Roush has more respect for Matt Kenseth than almost anybody in the sport, so I don't see him or that organization sabotaging the car because he's leaving. It is sad, though, the last hurrah couldn't have been as a contender.
Vader0309 (Jericho, Kansas)
Were you covering the Nascar the Game event @ Charlotte? I heard the game froze part way through. Did Ed Martin give an explanation?
David Newton (2:15 PM)
I was there. And it did freeze up or something at the very start, but then all was OK.
ted (louisville)
How did brad k go from 2 top 10s in his full season to penske to leading the points two years later?
David Newton (2:16 PM)
First, they surrounded him with better people and equipment. Secondly, it takes time to build chemistry. Brad and Paul Wolfe have done it faster than most. Shows just how talented both are.
Matt (NC)
Who would have though Brad K would have been better than Joey L, considering they virtually came out of the same class? Especially with the hype Logano had.
David Newton (2:16 PM)
Brad is a lot older and more seasoned than Joey, so I'm not surprised at all.
George (Smith Mt. Lake, VA)
Do you see a team such as RCR, that hasn't had the speed this year, pouring all their resources into the new car of 2013 and getting a head start?
David Newton (2:16 PM)
Might be time for that.
Todd (GA)
If Danica gets the 39 CC and pit crew who will be the new CC for Newman and do you think Eury JR. will ever be a CC again?
David Newton (2:18 PM)
First, I believe the 39 cc and crew going to Danica is a done deal. Just ready Tony Gibson's comments in my story on Saturday. As for Newman, I honestly don't know. Probably somebody with more of an engineering background. As for Eury Jr., might be tough. Might have to work his way back up through the NW series. Having said that, I believe Eury Jr is a good crew chief.
Daryl (Iowa)
How happy is Miller Brewing now that Shell wanted Kurt Busch, moving Brad over to the 2 car? And how bummed is Shell?
David Newton (2:19 PM)
Miller loves Brad K, but then Kurt did a lot of good things for that sponsor as well. Shell? Who wouldn't want Brad now. Unfortunately, they don't have the benefit of hindsight.
Saul (San Diego)
MR NEWTON! I HATE THE 4th Chase Race. You are ecstatic your driver make the chase. The Chases begin in Chicagoland with the illusion of your driver raising the CUP at Homestead. You root and have agonized for 26 races to make the Chase. And then you arrive at DEGA, with your driver sitging in the bottom 5 and then IT JUST STOPS. It breaks your heart. You are left to look forward to next year and begin your next year illusion of your favorite driver raising the CUP as a Champion. I HATE THIS 4th RACE!
David Newton (2:21 PM)
I love Dega in the Chase. I wish they'd open the Chase at Daytona and have two plate races. I think most fans would agree. Jimmie Johnson told me as a fan he would want Dega in the Chase too.
Jacob (Wellston, Ok)
Chevy still has not unveiled the full car. They are masking the car with the black and white. No real detail could be seen at Dega
David Newton (2:21 PM)
Gives you something to look forward to, but bet it is pretty close to the real deal. No need testing anything else this late in the year.
Larry (MI)
so another week goes by and another kyle meltdown. when is kyle going to stop blaming everyone else and take some blame himself for his season?
David Newton (2:22 PM)
Trust me, I believe he is sorry he did it this time.
Jay (GA)
Keselowski's season is reminiscent of Newman's 2003, with the bundle of wins, several fuel mileage wins. Do you think Penske's move to Ford will put their performance in reverse? Nine years newman was the next big thing, and Penske's equipment began to hold him back
David Newton (2:23 PM)
I actually see Penske growing stronger with Roush Yates engines. The engineers Penske sends to that department will only make the program stronger.
Chuck (Cleveland)
Great article Newt! With the remaining schedule for the Chase, is Martinsville the only weakness that Keselowski has left?
David Newton (2:23 PM)
I haven't looked up his Martinsville stats, but when a driver is on a roll usually his worst tracks turn out good. It happened at Dover. Brad K didn't have a top 10 there before Sunday.
David Newton (2:24 PM)
And thanks.
Tim (TX)
How could Smith go to the 51? Rumor says it is closing shop
David Newton (2:24 PM)
The owner and general manager say otherwise.
Jeremy (Port Angeles, WA)
When do Sprint Cup team usually unvail paint scheme for the next year? Do you think SHR will unvail Danica godaddy.com paint scheme when Nascar goes to PIR?
David Newton (2:24 PM)
It all depends. Most sometime in January. Many do around the media tour late in the month.
luke (syracuse)
Kyle ran limited nationwide races this year and has run (1? 2?) truck races this year. Has he been agitated by the restrictions Gibbs has placed on him?
David Newton (2:25 PM)
No, he's more agitated by not being in the Chase and having a chance to run for the title.
Neil (Michigan)
Hey Newt, enoy the chats. Who are some possible free agents after the 2013 season?Kyle? Kurt? Jeff Burton? ANyone else?
David Newton (2:27 PM)
Thanks. Those are three big ones. Newman has only a one-year deal next year. Vickers will be looking. There are a couple more but my brain isn't clicking on all cyliders at the moment.
Sam (UT)
Any word on why coach is taking his time working on an extension with kyle?
David Newton (2:27 PM)
He's not taking his time as much as Kyle is taking his time. Gibbs wants it done, as J.D. said, sooner rather than later.
David Newton (2:28 PM)
And these deals often are much more complicated than we think because sponsors and appearances and things like that have to be matched up.
Sam (UT)
How long did the 2013 cars stay hooked up drafting?
David Newton (2:28 PM)
Not very long. Kasey Kahne said the handling goes away fast.
Jimmy (STL)
Since Casino Le Dega is part of the Chase, any rumors of a roadcourse sneaking in there in 2014/2015? Only makes sense if they got a plate track in there, need to have a couple rights in there too. What say you? Thanks
David Newton (2:29 PM)
Gosh I hope so. I've been pushing for that for years, but NASCAR says since there are only two during the regular season it wouldn't be representative of the season. I say it would be great to determine the best overall driver.
Saul (San Diego)
Your top three driver's nicknames?
David Newton (2:30 PM)
Rowdy. Jaws, Silver Fox.
Jimmy (STL)
20% of the Chase as a pack-draft/tandem crapshoot. Please. God. No. What do you think of MWRs chances this weekend?
David Newton (2:31 PM)
Pretty good. Bowyer is one of the best on plate races today.
George (Smith Mt Lake VA)
Where is Matt Borland these days? Could we see him and Newman reunited? They had a lot of success together in that 12 car.
David Newton (2:31 PM)
He's at SHR working behind the scenes. Thought of him as a potential candidate for Newman since they were together at Penske Racing. But not sure Borland wants to go back to being a crew chief.
Jeff (Georgia)
Newt, how would you rate Kahne's chances in the chase right now? Do you see any wins for him coming up? Thanks
David Newton (2:33 PM)
Not bad. I can see him going on a tear in the final five races if he survives and has a top 10 at Dega. He's had one of the fastest Hendrick cars, fastest Sprint Cup cars, the entire season. Charlotte definitely is a potential win for him. Kansas and Homestead, too.
Mike (NC)
So what does Keslowski's sister do other than "keep him happy"? Does she work for BK Racing? You failed to mention that in your article.
David Newton (2:33 PM)
She is working to give new insight into what they're doing. She doesn't have a title yet. She told me to suggest one, and so far I haven't come up with any. I'd call her more of a consultant right now.
Saul (San Diego)
Ryan McGee yelled at me during the last week's chat race when I recommended two plate races in the chase. He said NO NO NO NO, NO gimick races in the chase.
David Newton (2:35 PM)
What does he know? Kidding. Ryan is a bright guy. But when myself, Nate Ryan of USA Today and David Caraviello of NASCAR.com made a dream Chase schedule at the bar in Kanwas we were unanimous on opening at Daytona and having Dega in the mix as well. We added Montreal, too. NASCAR should listen to us.
Kevin (Nevada)
With all this talk of the Chase, we have been comparing NASCAR to other major sports and their playoffs. To compare Talladega to football, should football teams play roulette in the divisional round to see who make the Conference Championship games?
David Newton (2:36 PM)
Wasn't that West Virginia-Baylor game like roulette? When you have two teams in the top 25 going 70-63, that tells me there is a deleted pool of at least defensive talent in college football.
scott (denton,tx)
is there any word on where david regan will be at next year since that kurt bush will drive for the #78 car next weekand and beyond you thoughts on that thanks....
David Newton (2:37 PM)
No word yet. Heard Regan Smith possibly in the 51 but no new word on David Ragan.
Dani (California)
Since road courses represent 1/18 of the season, maybe they should do a race that starts out of the Dega Roadcourse and 8/10 into the race switches to the oval
David Newton (2:37 PM)
Wouldn't that kill the Redneck Blvd.?
Jay (GA)
With some of Sam Hornish's comments. he seems quite bitter about being passed over for Dinger and now J-Lo, do you think he's out at Penske altogether? Would he fit in with Petty in the 43?
David Newton (2:39 PM)
Not sure bitter as much as disappointment. He really felt his performance should have gotten him a shot in the 22. Unfortunately, Brad K seemed to feel more comfortable with Joey as a teammate. Hopefully, Penske can get a third car together part-time or fulltime next year, and fulltime definitely by 2014. I'd like to see Sam get another shot.
Johnny (Alabama)
You rank "Rowdy" as one of the top 3 driver nicknames? A nickname hardly counts if the DRIVER GIVES IT TO HIMSELF. Also, what about "The King" and "The Intimidator"?
David Newton (2:40 PM)
Wondered how long it would take to see if somebody noticed I left out Earnhardt and Petty. They're all great nicknames. I am partial to the Silver Fox because I grew up a Pearson fan. You're right, though, The King and Intimidator deserve to be there. Now I'm going ot hear from Smoke fans.
Brandon (Texas)
Hi Newt, what are the chances Adam Stevens follows JoLo to Penske, 7 wins in a part time schedule is awsome.
David Newton (2:41 PM)
Not sure about his contractural status at JGR, so can't say.
Tim (TX)
As much as I liked last years chase, I am getting sick of only 2 or 3 drivers trully being in it every year. They need to do the 1-12 point system for chase drivers.
David Newton (2:42 PM)
I am almost with you on that one. But it's not the same two or three. Last year it was Edwards and Harvick down the stretch with Stewart. The year before it was Hamlin and Harvick with Johnson. But I would like to see a system that doesn't penalize a poor finish so much.
Saul (San Diego)
Will the Chaser hang back until the near end and then attack? What say you Mr. Newton?
David Newton (2:43 PM)
Some will. Some will not. I like the chances of those that go for it. Read Brad K's comments in my column.
Dave (Willoughby Hills)
Liked the article Newt, gave me a different light on Keselowski. Do you think it's time for Cup to redo the Chase? Four 1.5 mile tracks, way too many! I think Talladega, Daytona, Montreal, Chicago, Martinsville, Charlotte, Phoenix, Iowa, Dover and Homestead would be the perfect races for the Chase; do you agree?
David Newton (2:45 PM)
Thanks. I like all you have but Chicago. Why not toss Bristol in there? Looks like you left Texas out of your final 10 like I did in my dream Chase lineup made at the Kansas bar. Eddie Gossage will not like that.
sam (nevada)
how many years will logano get at pemske to prove himself
David Newton (2:45 PM)
I'd say at least two, probably threee.
Jeff (Georgia)
Newt, what's the status with Elliott Sadler and Brian Vickers nationwide/cup plans for next year? Thanks
David Newton (2:46 PM)
Elliott will drive one JGR NW car with OneMain Financial as the sponsor, and a part-time Cup schedule. Vickers will drive the other NW car and likely fill in the blanks for Martin Martin at MWR in the 55. They haven't announced it yet, but I was told that is a strong possibility.
Jamerson (Georgia)
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but Penske seemed like it saved some of its latest and greatest stuff for the Chase. Brad K ran brand new cars that had never been raced at Chicago and New Hampshire and he's running a 3rd brand new car at Talladega this weekend. Do you think tha's part of their success?
David Newton (2:47 PM)
What they did on Sunday was start saving fuel well before anybody else. Brad K could afford to do that because he wasn't racing for the win at the time. Johnson had to race Kyle hard for a while, and Hamlin was in the same boat. It was the perfect storm for Brad K in the end.
Tim (Dallas)
I saw in the chat yesterday that BK Racing is apparently interested in bringing AJ over next season, replacing either Cassill or Kvapil. Have you heard anything about that?
David Newton (2:47 PM)
Nothing yet.
Jamerson (Georgia)
Do you think Brad, Jimmie, and Denny will play it safe at Talladega? Do you see any one of those three just throwing caution to the wind and going all out to try and get the win?
David Newton (2:50 PM)
Brad K already has said he won't ride around the back. Jimmie has a history of that, but it hasn't worked out so well so maybe -- hopefully -- he will change up. Denny I'm not sure. I do look for the Gordons and Kahnes and Earnhardts and those that have the most to gain to go for it.
Jamerson (Georgia)
Is there any possibility that we'll see Regan Smith drop down to the Nationwide Series next year? If I were him, I think I'd rather be in a competitive Nationwide ride and win races than to be in a second-rate Cup ride and run 20th-30th every week.
David Newton (2:50 PM)
Maybe at JR Motorsports. That program could use a driver like him.
Bill (Az)
Have any teams ever experimented with an air wrench designed to hit of the lugs at once? Is there a rule against something like that? My initial thoughts were - too hard to design, and not much to gain in shaving time off tire changes unless you can also speed up getting fuel into the car.
David Newton (2:51 PM)
Good question. Wish I had a good answer. I'm sure if it was something that would work somebody would have thought of it by now.
Tim (CT)
Wow. No Junior questions? BTW I am a huge Jr fan. I guess people feel he is out of the running. Sadly I think he is.
David Newton (2:52 PM)
Now there is a Junior comment at least. You're right. But Stewart was 24 back with five to go last year and won it all. There is still hope.
scott (denton,tx)
hey david are you going to party in the infield this weekand or are you going to just work in the media center all weekand at talladega LOL...
David Newton (2:52 PM)
Alas, I'll be partying at the beach. Ed Hinton will be on hand for this one. Maybe you can drag him out to party with you.
Jamerson (Georgia)
First Matt Kenseth had the shock failure at Chicago, and then the track bar broke at Dover. Do you think Matt is being given shoddy equipment? He seems to think so... he's hinted as much in radio comments about how many parts are falling off his car lately.
David Newton (2:52 PM)
Nope. Just bad luck.
Tim (TX)
Does JGR really care about developing drivers? To put (rumor) Sadler and Vickers in cars when you have Bubba, Truex, and Herring is ashame.
David Newton (2:53 PM)
They plan to have a third car to mix in the young guys, so yes, they do care. They also like to win and feel experience gives them the best shot. Personally, I'd love to see at least one of the other cars go to a young guy like you mentioned.
Sam (UT)
I hope we dont have another fuel mileage race this sunday. Need MOAR beating and Banging.
David Newton (2:54 PM)
At Dega? Beating and banging usually doesn't turn out so good.
David Newton (2:54 PM)
NW crew chief for Joey.
Mike (NC)
Who is Adam Stevens? Elaborate on your answers. Not all of us are familier with the titles of the behind the scenes guys.
David Newton (2:55 PM)
Sorry, put the answer before the proverbial cart so to speak. Crew chief for Joey in the NW series.
Sam (UT)
My list 1 Martinsville 2 Chicago 3dover 4 dega 5 texas 6 PIR 7 bristol 8 Texas 9 homestead 10 Daytona
David Newton (2:55 PM)
You have two Texas.
Jeff (Georgia)
Newt, speaking of young guys, when do you expect to see Chase Elliott get in a Hendrick or Jr Motorsports nationwide car? Thanks
David Newton (2:57 PM)
He turns 17 next month, so at least not until the end of next year.
Tim (TX)
But Newt, young guys running a partial schedual isnt going to help
David Newton (2:57 PM)
Unless it leads to a full schedule.
Nick Rolando (Orlando)
David, bold prediction for '14: Harvick to RFR in the 6.
David Newton (2:57 PM)
That is bold.
Eric (OH)
I think the main reason why 88 has fallen a bit is Steve Letarte..I'm a diehard 24 fan, but you take a look at the last 4 yrs while he was with 24 (07-10) and those 24 teams always had speed, and led laps and run races in the first 4 months, then tailed off and were average in chase..The same things happen to 88 last 2 years..Numbers dont lie
David Newton (2:58 PM)
C'mon. People were praising Letarte a few months ago. They've just been off a little. And Brad K, Jimmie Johnson and Hamlin have been extremely on. Hard to compete with those average finishes.
scott (denton,tx)
so who do you think will win this sunday and can who can avoid dings and dents and be a master the fuel milage cause i am sure it is going to be a fuel milage race and do you see maybe and upset aswell you thoughts...
David Newton (2:59 PM)
As they say, it's a crapshoot. But I'll go with Bowyer.
Sam (UT)
yea saw that one was suppose to be charlotte.
David Newton (3:00 PM)
David Newton (3:00 PM)
Hey, it's 3 pm. Time to run. Thanks for all the questions. As usual, I probably had more fun than you did.

This is a big weekend for the Aiken County Animal Shelter, FOTAS and, in particular, the 200 animals living at the old county shelter on Wire Road. They are finally moving to the new county shelter after years of planning and a little over a year of construction.
The new shelter has been designed to properly house and care for the 200 animals that are currently crowded into a space designed 25 years ago for a maximum capacity of 100. In designing the new shelter, the County and FOTAS primary focus was to ensure that the animals were housed in a healthy environment to increase their prospects of adoption.
The most important defense against the spread of the disease among the animals in the shelter is proper air exchange and waste removal, so state of the art mechanical and plumbing equipment has been installed to address those issues.
While the physical improvements in the new shelter are noteworthy, the impact on FOTAS volunteers and County staff cannot be overstated; they will no longer report to a dreary, noisy institutional building to do Gods work.
The new shelter is cheerful colorful graphics of dogs and cats grace the walls of the lobby, along with inspirational quotes, such as In a perfect world, every pet would have a home and every home would have a pet.
Volunteers can walk and play with dogs in two spacious playpens, located outside of the adoption wing far from the goings and comings of animal control. All dogs and cats have access to the outside from their kennel runs or crates, a major improvement over the dark, indoor kennels at the old facility.
This new facility, a testament to the progress that can be made when public entities and private citizens partner to make the world a better place, is a concrete demonstration of the countys move from euthanasia as its primary means of controlling the homeless pet population to a system based on animal advocacy.
But this new facility is not a magic bullet to address the distressing overpopulation of unwanted animals in the county. We must continue to reduce the intake numbers at the shelter (4,800 last year alone) through systematic, targeted spay/neuter and educational programs. If we do not, the new shelter will also be overwhelmed by the sheer number of the Countys homeless animals. We cannot allow that to happen.
In the meantime, FOTAS and its volunteers will continue to work like the dickens to find homes for the County shelters animals through increased foster families, off-site adoptions and transfer programs.
If you are considering adopting a pet or volunteering, now is the time and the new community shelter is the place. When you are adopting, the shelter is a pleasant place for you to meet your prospective new best friend. As a volunteer, you can walk and socialize the animals, greet potential adopters in the cheerful new lobby, help organize transfers, and man off-site adoptions.
FOTAS volunteers work with the Aiken County Animal Shelter, 411 Wire Road. For more information, call FOTAS at 803-514-4313 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Aiken County Animal Shelter: By the Numbers
Feb. 17-22
Adopted: 6 dogs, 3 cats
Year to Date: 81

My name is Anastacia, and I am the scrap yarn/one skein queen. I buy my yarn mainly at yard sales/thrift stores, so I got used to making do with what I could find. So most of my patterns are designed to use up the odd skeins or leftovers in your life, and are geared towards beginner crocheters or those who just want a fast, easy, but still pretty item.
I'm a 30 something adult living in MA. I'm married, have a wonderful cat named Wedgie, & I work full time. I also teach knitting & crocheting at my local Michael's & squeeze in designing as many hours as I can a week.
I do love to hear from everyone, but please remember that I am busy, just like you, & will reply as soon as I can.
All of my patterns use USA terms & abbreviations.
I try to layout my patterns as simply as possible to save money for people printing at home. My patterns are as short as possible, usually with only one photo on the first page, which you can easily skip printing to save ink.
I was googling the term "ruffle", trying to come up with a name for this ruffle crochet scarf, when I came across the term "Ruckus" and knew I had a name for my new design!
This is an advanced beginner crochet pattern using single, half double, and double crochet stitches to create the ruffle. Scarf is made sideways.
There is also a knit version!
You can use any yarn, any hook, and any gauge, and make the scarf to your desired width and length.
Many thanks to my testers, beadabunch, laurie2011, Vaughnde, pandastamper, debspugs, mollyanna, shyamanivas and MandyS2!
Feel free to make as many of these as you like for local craft fairs/auctions/raffles/bazaars, but please do not sell finished items online. If making for charity, please let me know the name of the charity & include my contact info with the item (http://anastaciaknits.net). If you have any questions or comments or just want to join like-minded souls, please join my Ravelry group at http://www.ravelry.com/groups/anastacia-knits-designs. Thanks!
15 sts=4". Gauge doesn't matter

The clip The First Meeting from P.S. I Love You (2007) To my Galway Girl: You're an angel for seeing my folks. I told you my mom didn't hate your guts. Well, you know, anymore. You are now standing in my fort where I did all my big thinking. This is where I stood thinking about you after the very first time we met. You didn't look real to me at first. I never saw so many colors on one girl before... ...but you looked like you belonged out there, all right. You and all your colors. Do you remember the first thing you ever said to me? I'm lost. Oh, you didn't look lost, not to me. So, what are you looking for out here? Wicklow Mountains National Park? Wicklow Mountains National Park. Tell me, how long you been walking for? A few hours. Well, you've probably been in the national park for a few hours, then. Oh, my God. This is a park? Uh-huh. Oh. It's so cold! The paper said it was gonna be warm. It is warm. I know you're lost, but you do know you're in Ireland, don't you? Well, I better head back. Heh. And where is that? I'm staying at a B and B in Dunlougahairy. Dunlagohairy? No, I think you mean D�n Laoghaire. Heh-heh. You're kidding? No. Would I lie to you? D�n Laoghaire? D�n Laoghaire.

British Airways, Iberia & Binter to Tenerife and Gran Canaria
In early December, a friend and I were thinking of places to go to escape the worst of the British winter. She really wanted to go to Egypt, and I wanted to go to either Tunisia or Jordan. As we all now know, all three of those locations would have been awful, so it's lucky that in the end we both agreed on the Canary Islands.
After perusing what flights were available, I found that BA and Iberia (via Madrid) had return fare starting at £180, when the likes of easyJet, Ryanair and Monarch (all direct) were all over £450. Being BA Silver, the choice was easy. I selected LHR-MAD-LHR flight on BA (to avail ourselves of the free catering), whilst the MAD-TFN (Tenerife North)/LPA (Gran Canaria)-MAD sectors would be with IB. Linking the two would be with Binter, the "national" airline of the Canaries.
Our Route
Checking at the Club Europe desk was an unsmiling affair, much like my trip last summer to Cuba – I think the T3 staff are much less friendly than their T5 counterparts. My bag was tagged (no priority tags), and the first boarding pass printed. I enquired about getting the IB pass for the MAD-TFN leg and was told that the computer couldn't print it. Not a great start. The IB desks are in the next section, so we went over there and a rather brusque guy on the Iberia Plus desk printed them for us.
Security wasn't too busy, and before long we were in the Cathay Pacific lounge. CX have recently overhauled their LHR lounge to be more in line with their trademark HKG offerings. This includes a made-to-order noodle bar. The lounge was completely deserted lest one guy sitting in the far corner. The selection at the noodle bar was a bit minimalist, however, with just three choices. Both my friend and I went for the pork dumpling noodles, which were pretty tasty.
After our noodles, we went over to the BA lounge, where my friend filled up on curry. I went for the sandwiches. We also had a couple of their freshly baked cookies (thumbs up to BA for those!). After filling ourselves in the lounge, we headed down to the gate, where boarding was already underway.
BA boards all their shorthaul flights (MAD, BCN, AGP, GIB, LIS & VIE) at remote stands, so we joined the queue for the bus out to the plane.
The first bus had already gone so we got on the second. Unfortunately my friend made it up the stairs first, so she got the window seat, and I was stuck in the aisle.
British Airways BA 460
London Heathrow (LHR) – Madrid Barjaras (MAD)
Scheduled: 1430-1750 (2h20m)
Actual: 1455-1744 (1h49m)
Airbus A320 G-EUUU
We pushed back a little late, and ended up taking off just under half an hour late. Being sat just behind the Club Europe cabin, we were the first to be served. Ever since my flight up to Glasogw in December, I've realised that BA crew don't seem perturbed by requesting "a couple" of G&Ts (in the past I'd always just ordered one), so I got 2 gins, and my friend a vodka. For those of you that are interested, on this flight BA served 50% Smirnoff Blue (produced in the States), however on the flight home they served 37.5% Smirnoff Red (from the UK).
I managed to swap seats towards the end of the flight, although there wasn't much to see other than a lot of clouds.
The approach into Madrid was very misty, with the ground only appearing a few moments before touch down.
Madrid was cold and wet.
Madrid Bajaras Terminal 4S, home of IB longhual
Being sat near the front, we managed to get to the head of the queue for passport control, and ended up getting a nearly probate train over to Terminal 4, where baggage claim and Iberia shorthaul flights leave from.
We made a beeline for the lounge, where we got a warm welcome for the lounge dragon.
This lounge isn't as nice as the one over in T4S (there are no tarmac views), but the snack selection was good with lots of salads, sandwiches, wraps, crisps, ice cream and fruit. They also had mini bottles of cava (I know the brand isn't the best, but it's a nice idea).
About twenty five minutes before schedule departure, we made our way towards the gate which ended up being up in the very furthest corner of the terminal.
Iberia IB 968
Madrid Barjaras (MAD) – Tenerife North (TFN)
Scheduled: 1945-2130 (2h45m)
Actual: 2015-2145 (2h30m)
Airbus A320 EC-KOH
This flight was nearly fully booked. When we got to our seats in the sixth row, there was a lady sitting in the E seat (we had D and F). When she saw us, she jumped up and said "oh, I've got the A seat", and moved across the aisle…weird. Luckily, despite the full load, we ended up with an empty seat between us. Iberia have slim line seats with the seat pocket behind the head rest. Combined with the extra legroom towards the front, we had loads of space, far more than on BA.
Tarmac views
Blankets and pillows were handed out. The turkey and cream cheese croissant was something I swiped from the lounge. IB don't have ANYTHING free shorthual, not even water. The eyemask is from Air New Zealand.
Being a night flight, mainly over ocean, there wasn't much to see so I went to sleep. I awoke about fifteen minutes out of Tenerife. I was quite happy with this photo, which is of central Santa Cruz (the capital).
TFN was basically deserted at this time on a Saturday night. Other than a couple of Binter ATRs, we were the only aircraft on the tarmac.
The arrivals hall
After collecting our bags, we made our way to the taxi rank, where it took about twenty minutes to get to our hotel.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where we stayed for 2 nights
Some interesting mummies at the museum
The market
A dragon Tree
A beach north of the city
From Santa Cruz we drove on the Anaga mountains on a rather circuitous route up to the National Park, home of Spains highest peak, El Tiede.
El Tiede with TFN in the foreground
The drive was amazing (albeit rather hazardous). My friend spent most of the journey screaming in terror. The views were great, and the weather was perfect.
We stayed in the only hotel in the National Park, the Parador. Unfortunately, the standards weren't great, especially given the rather high price tag. We were, however, right in the centre of the park.
View from the hotel room
The wonders of the National Park
Our hotel, surrounded up hoardes of daytrippers
The cable car up to the top of Tiede. In Santa Cruz we went to try and get one of the limited numbers of permits to go right to the summit, but we were told it was closed due to snow and ice, which was a shame.
Gran Canaria
El Hierro
A desert bit of the park
Have any of you read "Tintin on the Moon"?
After our two nights up at the foot of Mt.Tiede, it was time to head to the beaches of Gran Canaria. There was a choice of two airlines from Tenerife, Binter and Islas. Islas had slightly cheaper fares, but only three flights a day compared to Binters 15 or so. After a bit of searching, I found some cheap seats on the 10am Binter flight over to Gran Canria. Unfortunately, this meant an early start from the Parador meaning missing out on the buffet breakfast. The drive down the mountain at dawn was fantastic – it's just a shame that we couldn't really drive slowly and appreciate the views – I'll have to go back again sometime – really, it's out of this world.
Despite taking slightly longer than planned, we arrived at Tenerife North Airport 90 minutes before departure, plenty of time to take back the hire car and check in. There are no pre-assigned seats on Binter, so check in was quick. I left my friend to sit in the departures area, whilst I took a tour of the terminal taking a few photos.
The airport might not be band new, but is a nice place to wander around for a bit. Other than a host of inter-island flights, all the other flights were for the mainland Spain, and one each to Nuremburg and Helsinki.
The queue for security was short, and I was through in a few minutes.
Binter NT 120
Tenerife North (TFN) – Gran Canaria (LPA)
Scheduled: 1000-1030 (0h30m)
Actual: 1009-1031 (0h22m)
Out of the host of interisland flights leaving around the same time as us, we happened to be the only flight that was bussed out to the plane. On the plus side, we got an airport tour, and I was one of the first off the bus, and onto the plane, letting me snag my preferred window seat ahead of the wings.
The terminal building
Mint Airways – anyone been on this?
Off we go
This flight proved just what can be achieved, service-wise, in the air. Tarmac to tarmac was 22 minutes. Two cabin crew, roughly 65 pax, with a bit of light turbulence. We were offered a choice of papers, still or sparkling water, a chocolate bar, a boiled sweet and a refreshing wipe. This was all done in Spanish and English and with a smile. So, to all you cabin crew out there with flight times hovering around 30 minutes (or more) who say you can't do a service, nonsense!
Views from the plane
Comfortable seats on Binter (when disembarking)
Compared to TFN, LPA was very busy. Today seemed to be German day at the airport, with no less than six TUIfly B737s on the ground, including one masquerading as a giant Haribo. There were also a load of Air Berlins and D-reg Thomas Cooks.
Interisland flights are handled in a separate part of the building, away from all the holidays flights.
Our hotel was overbooked, so we ended up spending one night in another hotel. As compensation, we got an upgrade to Half board, with drinks, a bottle of wine, and a fruit basket. Not bad, and worth the hassle. We had to really push to get it though, as other people that were moved got nothing.
The Yumbo Centre
A few views of Gran Canaria's famous dunes
After three days basking in the sun of Gran Canaria, it was time to head on to Madrid. IB fly around six flights a day between the two places, and we were booked on the second of the day.
Today seemed to be Scandinavia day at the airport, with flights to basically every Scandinavian and Finnish airport I could think of, along with a few German, Dutch, Belgian and Luxembourg flights. The UK was conspicuous by its absence, with just two FR flights listed for Bournemouth and Stansted. My friend spotted a FR flight heading to Santiago – I pointed out that thankfully it was Santiago de Compostela (Spain) rather than Santiago de Chile. Be both agreed that a FR flight to South America might be pushing the boundaries of comfort for most travellers. One interesting flight that I'd like to try one day is the SATA service on a DH1 from Gran Canaria to the Azores via Madeira (FNC). Sounds like an unlikely routing.
The check in area was pretty busy, and I was shocked to see an enormous queue for the IB check in.
There was just one desk being used for economy, and with a full A321, unsurprisingly there was a bit of a back up.
Luckily or us, there was no one in the Business Class queue, so we were seen straight away. The friendly lady at the desk printed out our boarding passes, and gave us a lounge invite, together with instructions on how to find it.
We headed through security, which had a very long queuing area, but a mercifully short queue, then went up to the higher level where there is an outdoor smoking area, a bar area, and the lounge. The two ladies on the door welcomed us in, and we took a seat. The lounge was quite large, and with plenty of sofas and tables, and views of the tarmac. Drinks options were pretty good, although the same cannot be said of the food selection, which consisted of small packets of peanuts and three bags of crisps. There were signs for free wifi, but even with the password, I couldn't get my computer to connect.
About ten minutes after I saw our plane land and taxi past, we left the lounge and headed the length of the terminal to the gate. Whilst the lounge wasn't great, the terminal was even worse. Busy busy busy!
Iberia IB 807
Gran Canaria (LPA) – Madrid Barjaras (MAD)
Scheduled: 1110-1445 (2h35m)
Actual: 1119-1450 (2h31m)
Airbus A321 EC-JDR
Upon boarding, we found most of a Spanish basketball (?) team filling the Business Class cabin. Another team (Murcia) were to be found in economy. The flight was completely full. Again, we had gone for a window and an aisle, but this time we had someone sat in between us. We pushed back ontime, but ended up waiting for an Air Europa flight to leave.
Leaving the lovely and warm Canaries.

I played up to Threed. I tried guys, I really did. But I am not seeing why this game is so loved. This game's insanely tedious. I keep getting my ass kicked, and since they let you keep your levels and stuff, I've basically been strong-arming my way through the game. I knew the plot wouldn't be very deep at all, but I still expected something charming. Besides a few funny-looking enemies, and some random one-liners, there's almost nothing here. Each town's plot has been paper-thin, it took waaay too long just to get Paula (and she's level fucking one, wth?), it's usually unclear on what you need to do next, and it feels like there's hardly any strategy to the battles at all. The game really just seems to be famous for the mood whiplash of Giygas and his battle.
Pleeeeaaaase tell me this gets better. Because I've been anticipating finally getting around to playing this for a long time, and I really wanted to love this.

on September 4, 2014 - 7:37 AM
Sometime in the mid-1990s, Western New York's theater scene started working out.
Then it picked up a little bit of muscle. Then it started entering competitions. And then, around 2000, it took the theatrical equivalent of steroids and has been growing – gloriously and improbably – ever since.
Now, as companies across the region prepare to lift the curtain on more than 20 productions this month – culminating on Sept. 19 with the annual Curtain Up! event – our theater community is punching far above its weight class. Legacy companies such as the Kavinoky Theatre, Irish Classical Theatre Company and MusicalFare Theatre remain strong and stalwart, while middleweights such as Road Less Traveled Productions, the New Phoenix Theatre and Subversive Theatre Company are making marked progress. And the young companies keep popping up, at least two or three a year, discouraged neither by the limited audience for their chosen art form nor the financial challenges of keeping a company afloat.
With no plateau in sight, the region's 2014-15 theater season – heavy with recycled material but featuring plenty of new works and innovative interpretations as well – promises to be its biggest yet. We've compiled our special theater preview to help you wade through one of the busiest theater seasons in memory.
