The remedy. For every terrorist attack or suicide bomb in America a Mosque needs to be burnt. Then maybe these babyraping muslims will get the hint.

Anyone who still believes 911 was accomplished by terrorists in a cave in Afghanistan is a moron. Known physics do not include buildings turning to dust, especially building 7. Reagan's "Star Wars" technology, based on Nikola Tesla's discoveries DOES however. Aaron Russo's interviews are witness against Nick Rockefeller revealing how the Globalist Bankers contrived the entire war on terror. "It goes on and on forever, and we continue to take the People's liberties. anyone can be called a terrorist. Can not define the enemy or when the war is over." "Perfect".

The American People want to make sure they hang the right man for treason and militarization against the American People and their blood bought Constitution. The "Nazification" of America by a twisted little FRAUD. Your little Marxist Nazi program that you and your treason brigade are waging like a war against America, is going to come to a very abrupt end. Actually a "SNAP", at the end of a rope.

If Obama fears for his life now, and is scared to death, then he will likely not be able to sleep knowing that the KGB really still exists, and Putin, if anyone, can and will succeed in taking him out. But Barachy boys Globalist Banker masters are not concerned with him. His useful idot-ness has served it's purpose. Putin will make it look like a racial attack to create as much chaos in America as possible. At least we will be rid of the greater enemy of America. America will likely fare much better, even with an all out race war, than with Obama still able to destroy things, with intent.

"Vicious and cowardly attack on innocent civilians." What the Globalist Banker Masonic Illuminati satanists did on 911. As ALL wars, which they have contrived. What is missing from all the pictures which the Media never showed, but can be found if one researches. Where is the STEEL as the towers come down? Steel does not turn to dust…normally. Reagans "Star Wars" has everything to do with it. It is beyond doubt it was contrived to destroy Americans liberty and rob us through waging war. Insidious. These Globalist bastards are within their final hour and are ignorant of the fact.

LAKE RONKONKOMA, N.Y. (AP) — A New York City fire lieutenant who died fighting a blaze was remembered Saturday at his funeral as a big, playful man who lived for his wife and two children and saw his service with the Fire Department as far more than a vocation.
Lt. Richard Nappi collapsed Monday as his engine company attacked a hot, smoky fire at a Brooklyn warehouse. Authorities think he suffered heat exhaustion and a heart attack.
Around 400 mourners filled a church in Lake Ronkonkoma on Long Island to memorialize the fallen 47-year-old.
Delivering the eulogy, Mayor Michael Bloomberg compared Nappi to the bulldog mascot at his Brooklyn firehouse, saying they both had "a stocky, powerful build, a playful, outgoing personality, and a tough, bulldog determination."
"He never lost his taste for firehouse pranks," Bloomberg said. But on the job, he added, "he was also all-business." Nappi began his career as an 18-year-old volunteer in the Smithtown Fire Department, and in recent years served as an instructor at Suffolk County's fire academy.
Hundreds of firefighters lined up, shoulder-to-shoulder, outside the Church of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, and stood at attention as Nappi's casket was carried into the chapel. It was draped with a Fire Department flag.
There were more mourners than could fit inside the church.
"He was so good to my kids, his kids, his wife. My heart just aches for her," said Joan McGeever, one of Nappi's neighbors in Farmingdale. "He was too young. But if there was any way to go, it would be in the line of duty. He gave his life for the Fire Department — lived and breathed it."

|Event Date/Time
May 3, 2014 to May 18, 2014
Eight Fairfield County historical organizations, have banded together to create the Great Letterboxing History Hunt of Fairfield County. The event begins on May 3 and ends on May 18. On May 18, there will be a festive family get-together at the Wilton Historical Society, 224 Danbury Rd., Wilton, CT, 4-5pm. There will be refreshments and live music with Leigh Richards on acoustic guitar. Participants who stamp their official Map at all eight locations will be eligible for a prize, and will be entered in a drawing for a wonderful grand prize.
Complete information about the Great Letterboxing History Hunt of Fairfield County can be found at the event's "host" -- the Wilton Historical Society -- at www.wiltonhistorical.org. Contacts, addresses, and links for each of the historical organizations, plus downloadable maps and clues will be posted.
Letterboxing, which originated on the moors of Dartmoor, England in the 1850's, is an outdoor walking or hiking activity that combines elements of orienteering, stamp art, and puzzle-solving in a treasure-hunt style quest. This is a wonderful family activity, offering a chance to learn about reading maps, following clues, and local history.
The event is a collaboration between the Fairfield Museum and History Center, the Historical Society of Easton, the New Canaan Historical Society, the Norwalk Historical Society, Ridgefield's Keeler Tavern Museum, the Weston Historical Society, the Westport Historical Society, and the Wilton Historical Society.

Authorities are investigating a threat from a caller to use a firearm against Salem Hospital and its staff Tuesday morning, but the hospital and the other buildings on its main campus remain open for business.
Someone phoned in the threat to the hospital, at 890 Oak St. SE, around 6:55 a.m., said Salem Police spokesman Lt. Dave Okada. Security staffers contacted Salem Police, and officers were on scene within minutes to investigate, he said.
Although authorities remain on scene, the hospital is taking patients as usual although it is operating in a "modified lockdown," hospital spokesman Mark Glyzewski.
The main entrances to the hospital and other buildings on campus have been closed, he said, and patients should enter the hospital through the emergency room entrance. The hospital has also called in extra staff to help patients who may have a longer walk to get to their destinations as a result of the main entrance's closure.
"Salem Police, the Marion County Sheriff's Office are going to continue investigating this until we can say there is no longer a threat," said Glyzewski.
Surrounding streets also remain open, said Okada.

Update: 14-May-2012
According to ICIS, HCl prices remain high but stable, however demand is expected to increase from fracking use in the oil and gas industry. To read more about use of HCl in the oil and gas industry, click here.
Update: April 2012 The Hydrochloric Acid shortage continues and inventories are not expected to recover until the third quarter of 2012. Prices are likely to remain on the higher end through the first half of 2012. However major distributers assure constant supply in the short to medium term due to high inventory levels.
Rx-360 has partnered with Beroe to publish a report that contains a detailed analysis of the Hydrochloric Acid Supply Chain.
To view of download the report, click here.
Hydrochloric acid may be manufactured by several different processes, although over 90 percent of the Hydrochloric Acid produced in the U. S. is a byproduct of a chlorination reaction. It seems the shortage is a result of decrease production and increasing demand.
The slowing of the economy has decreased production leading to fewer chlorination byproducts, and a significant increase in demand from the oil and gas industry has resulted in a shortage of Hydrochloric Acid. Large quantities of Technical Grade Hydrochloric Acid (25% of the US supply) is now used in hydraulic "fracking", and the use of "fracking" is expected to grown in popularity.
Man-made Hydraulic fracturing or fracking is the propagation of fractures in a rock layer caused by the presence of a pressurized fluid to release petroleum, natural gas, coal seam gas, or other substances for extraction.
The energy from the injection of a highly-pressurized fluid, such as water, creates new channels in the rock which can increase the extraction rates and ultimate recovery of fossil fuels. The fracture width is typically maintained after the injection by introducing a proppant into the injected fluid. Proppant is a material, such as grains of sand, ceramic, or other particulates, that prevent the fractures from closing when the injection is stopped.
The shortage has occurred with Technical Grade Hydrochloric Acid. The tight supply of Technical Grade Hydrochloric Acid, and the steady demand from the oil and gas industry is beginning to impact supply of High Purity Hydrochloric Acid.
Several suppliers have reported that they are being allocated Hydrochloric Acid, and in turn are allocating Hydrochloric Acid to their customers. There have also been reports of recent specification failures of Hydrochloric Acid at incoming inspection.
Firms who use Hydrochloric Acid should consider taking the following actions:
1. Contact your supplier of Hydrochloric Acid and assure their ability to supply
2. Assess and understand the Hydrochloric Acid supply chain for vulnerabilities that could cause supply interruptions and product authentication concerns
3. Secure a supply of Hydrochloric Acid from a trusted supplier
4. Conduct full analytical testing upon receipt of Hydrochloric Acid
Rx-360 is continuing to monitor the situation and will publish updates as necessary.
Lately, the Specialty Chemicals Market has been experiencing tightness in supply on a few key raw materials. Some of this tightness is due to the slump in the auto and construction industries, but recently, we have seen shortages caused by increased demand from the Oil & Gas market, specifically those materials that are used in hydraulic fracturing (fracking).
Fracking is a process that forces liquids through the ground at high pressures to create small fractures in a rock formation, ultimately releasing oil and/or gas for collection. Fracking is not a new process, and its recent resurgence is expected to generate considerable growth in natural gas production. But with this growth comes increased demand for more raw materials.
Approximately 99.5% of the materials used in fracking are water (90%) and sand (9.5%). When you consider that fracked wells use about 1,000,000 gallons of water per well - times 500,000 or so active wells - that remaining 0.5% of "other materials" can have a sizeable impact on our market.
As part of our MOR™ (Management of Risk) program, we have researched the materials used in fracking and the specialty chemicals market to determine which products could be at risk (see the table below). Keep in mind that many fracking materials are proprietary making exact information difficult to obtain; however, we will continue to research this market and further refine the product list and associated risk.
1Materials used in nuclear cleanup: tight market due to Japan disaster.
2Materials also influenced by fertilizer demand.
3Market tightness due to weak sugar crop in Brazil.
4Current market tightness due to fracking demand.
5Materials used in various cleaning chemistries as a biocide.

2Materials also influenced by fertilizer demand.
3Market tightness due to weak sugar crop in Brazil.
4Current market tightness due to fracking demand.
5Materials used in various cleaning chemistries as a biocide.
In November, D&I released a MOR™ notification to MOR™ participating customers concerning tightness in the hydrochloric acid market caused by reduced supply in the market and increased demand by Oil & Gas. In the last few weeks, guar gum has also been impacted. Because of these impacts, we are now monitoring the overlapping materials used in the Oil & Gas and Specialty Chemicals market.
MOR™ Participants: Should conditions deteriorate on any of these materials, D&I will notify you with suggested risk mitigation steps prior to any public communication.
Non-MOR™ Participants: Consider subscribing to our blog where we will post updates on developing market conditions.

How JJ makes more of less
Even among power pitchers, Marlins ace Josh Johnson ranks up there with the best of him.
The 6-foot-7, 250-pound right-hander repeatedly brings the heat when he's on the mound. His fastball, according to www.fangraphs.com, is the fourth highest on average of any starter in the big leagues. The average of all JJ's fastballs this season is 94.6 mph.
Pure heat, however, isn't necessarily the formula for success. Yes, being overpowering enables a pitcher to get away with more mistakes. But to be truly the best of the best, Johnson is aware that he must be better at subtraction with his off-speed pitches.
A good sign for Johnson is when his slider is in the neighborhood of 85-86 mph. The thing with Johnson is, because he throws so hard, even his slider can be 90-91 mph.
Why the benefit of the 10 mph drop in speed off his fastball? Because it is harder to hitters to time.
A case in point came in Johnson's last start, when he beat the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on June 10. In the first inning, JJ faced runners on second and third with two outs. On a 2-2 pitch, he struck out Jayson Werth with an 85 mph slider, after he threw a 96 mph fastball for a ball.
The more Johnson learns about subtracting on his slider, the better he will be. At 26, JJ is still learning the finer points of the game.
Hitters have shown they can foul off his 91 mph slider, running up JJ's pitch count. When he gets them to wave at 85 mph, he becomes virtually unhittable.
A big reason why Nationals sensation Stephen Strasburg is so effective is he throws an 86 mph curveball to complement a 99 mph fastball.
JJ is very skilled at adjusting during games. He is working on spinning the baseball more to reduce velocity. A good indicator on if it is working is if you see the velocity on his slider in the 85 mph range.
— Joe Frisaro
Halladay-Johnson set for Thursday
Washed out on Wednesday, the Marlins and Phillies were back at it again on Thursday at Citizens Bank Park.
The same pitching matchup that was slated for Wednesday was just pushed back a day.
A pair of aces are on the mound. The Marlins are going with Josh Johnson, while the Phillies are starting Roy Halladay.
When he last faced Florida, on May 29, Halladay threw the 20th perfect game in MLB history. Johnson, meanwhile, gave up one unearned run in seven innings, suffering the loss.

Rained out Wednesday
For the second time this season, the Marlins have had a game postponed because of rain.
Wednesday's game at Philadelphia was washed out. No makeup date has been set yet. But a possible date for a doubleheader will be on Sept. 6, when the Marlins return to Philadelphia.
The Marlins rotation has now shuffled for the new few days.
Josh Johnson, who was scheduled to pitch on Wednesday, will throw on Thursday. The Phillies are countering with Roy Halladay.
The Marlins weekend rotation at Tampa Bay now will be Anibal Sanchez (Friday), Ricky Nolasco (Saturday) and Chris Volstad (Sunday). Nate Robertson is being skipped one start, and he is available in the bullpen.
The Marlins previously were rained out on April 23 at Colorado. They made that up on April 24 with a doubleheader.
— Joe Frisaro
Stanton to face Halladay
Coming off his three hit MLB debut, Mike Stanton will face a bigger challenge on Wednesday night. That is, if the game is played. It's been raining all day in Philadelphia, and more is expected tonight.
If the game moves forward, the Marlins will face the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
Roy Halladay is set to throw for the Phillies. On May 29 in Miami, Halladay threw the 20th perfect game in MLB history.
Josh Johnson gets the nod for the Marlins.
After going 3-for-5 on Tuesday, Stanton became the youngest player to get three hits in his MLB debut since Danny Ainge of NBA fame went 3-for-4 in his first game on May 21, 1979, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Stanton was 20 years, 212 days. Ainge was 20 years, 65 days.

Stanton seventh in debut
For weeks, Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez noted that Mike Stanton could initially start off batting seventh.
That's exactly where the 20-year-old slugger was positioned in his big league debut on Tuesday against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
The Marlins open a three-game set with the Phillies, and Gonzalez shuffled things up a bit. Chris Coghlan moved back to leadoff, while Hanley Ramirez returned to batting third, after leading off on Sunday at the Mets.

Where to bat Stanton?
Creating an easy transition for Mike Stanton is a primary objective of the Marlins as an organization and Fredi Gonzalez as manager.
For weeks, Gonzalez has said Stanton likely would start off batting seventh, or perhaps second.
The recent offensive struggles may have prompted a change of thinking. Hanley Ramirez batted leadoff on Sunday in a 7-6 loss to the Mets at Citi Field.
Ramirez was hitless in two at-bats with three walks, including one intentionally. One of his outs was a crushed liner to deep right field that Jeff Francoeur made a terrific running catch.
Gonzalez noted that Ramirez leading off wasn't a definite guarantee. But will the All-Star bat first on Tuesday night at Philadelphia? That may have now changed with Stanton officially called up.
Stanton batted third at Double-A Jacksonville. His numbers spoke loudly, 21 homers, 52 RBIs and a .311 average in 52 games.
Don't be surprised is Stanton is batting sixth or second on Tuesday.
It was seem unlikely to put the 20-year-old in a prime power spot like No. 3 in his first big league game, especially since Dan Uggla belted his 13th homer while hitting third on Sunday.
If Stanton hits sixth in his big league debut, Ramirez would go back to batting third. A possible lineup that way, at least against right-handed starting pitching, would be Chris Coghlan, Gaby Sanchez, Ramirez, Jorge Cantu, Uggla, Stanton, Cody Ross, Ronny Paulino and Chris Volstad, Tuesday's starter.
Ross already has produced batting seventh, while Uggla has been having a solid season batting mostly fifth.
Perhaps a better option is hitting Stanton second right away is Sanchez has already shown he has the discipline to bat eighth. Paulino is more of an aggressive hitter, and may not be best suited to hit in front of the pitcher.
One thing to consider about Ramirez batting second is if a base is open, like it was Sunday at New York, teams will likely intentionally walk him to get to Coghlan. The Mets did that with a runner on second and two outs. Then they brought in lefty Pedro Feliciano, who struck out the lefty hitting Coghlan. With Ramirez hitting third, he is protected by Cantu, a proven run producer, .
If Stanton were hitting second and Ramirez third, opposing teams couldn't match their lefty reliever in those spots.
Earlier this season Gonzalez asked Bobby Cox why he put Jason Heyward, Atlanta's 20-year-old sensation, second.
Cox said it was out of necessity because Yunel Escobar wasn't hitting. Heyward has thrived batted second.
Perhaps that will be the best fit to start Stanton, and then see how the lineup comes together.

Stanton headed to big leagues?
It looks like Mike Stanton could be joining the Marlins in Philadelphia.
Stanton was not in the starting lineup for the Double-A Jacksonville Suns on Sunday at Montgomery.
Speculation is growing that the 20-year-old will be headed to Philadelphia to join the Marlins for their series with the Phillies, which begins on Tuesday at Citizens Bank Park.
Stanton has 21 home runs and 52 RBIs, and he's batting .311 for the Suns.
As of game time for the Suns on Sunday, Stanton was with the Suns in Montgomery. He took batting practice in the cage with his teammates.

Uggla climbing up HR ladder
Dan Uggla homered in the third inning on Sunday, giving him 13 on the season. It was his first home run since May 23 at the White Sox.
Now with 134 career home runs, Uggla is closing in on Miguel Cabrera (138) for second place all-time in Marlins history. The franchise leader is Mike Lowell (143).
As part of a lineup shuffle, Uggla was batting third for the second time this season. In his other appearance, he also homered. Those are the only two home runs he's ever hit batting third.
Nine of Uggla's homers this year have come when he's hit fifth. He has two from the No. 4 spot.
The only two spots in the order where Uggla has never hit home runs at are No. 1 and No. 9. He has 61 career shots while batting second, where he primarily hit his first three seasons. He has 45 total hitting fifth, and 19th sixth.
— Joe Frisaro
Hanley leading off
Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez talked about "tweaking" the lineup after Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Mets at Citi Field.
The manager made a big change on Sunday by sliding Hanley Ramirez into the leadoff spot for the first time since 2008.
A career .313 hitters leading off, Ramirez was switched to the No. 3 spot in 2009, and he went on to win the NL batting title with a .342 average.
This year has been a struggle for Ramirez, who is hitting .286 with eight home runs and 29 RBIs.
Heading into Sunday, Ramirez had all but one of his at-bats this season from the No. 3 spot. The other time was when he was used as a pinch-hitter for the pitcher's spot.
1) Hanley Ramirez, SS
2) Chris Coghlan, LF
3) Dan Uggla, 2B

Filing taxes is a pain in the butt, but perhaps we shouldn't complain. With a flashback to 1991, the folks over at Mental Floss remind us how things could be worse — we could still be using MS-DOS.
Aren't you glad your tax software doesn't still look like this? In 1991, this was cutting edge stuff, folks:
Not only is yesteryear's tax software hard to look at, it also used to be a lot more expensive. In 1991, these software packages ranged in price from $70-100, whereas today's more advanced apps start at around $30. Three cheers for the free market!

SAGINAW, MI — An early-morning fire caused enough damage to a vacant house that the city of Saginaw plans to demolish it, according to a city official.
The fire started about 5:45 a.m. at 1803 Tuscola near North 12th, Saginaw County 911 reports.
Latoya Forster lives across the street and saw the fully-involved fire after her dog's barking woke her. The fire department arrived within minutes, she said, and put out the blaze.
Forster said she has seen people go in and out of the house in the past and dump trash there, but she hasn't seen any activity in recent months. She said she will be happy to see the vacant house go.
Saginaw Chief Inspector John Stemple said a city demolition crew was scheduled to tear down the house today because of the extent of damage caused by the fire.
The city noticed a significant drop in fires at abandoned structures in the past three years because of grant funding to tear them down, Stemple said.
"The number of targets available dropped significantly," he said, adding that vacant structure fires can cause big problems for residents living nearby if the flames spread.
The fire on Tuscola was surrounded by several empty lots.
A recent announcement that Saginaw will receive $11.2 million to demolish blighted homes will allow the city to remove more abandoned buildings, he said.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation and there were no injuries reported, Saginaw Fire Department Battalion Chief Steve Filary said.

You said we could make it-
Now this ships going down in flames.
Just because you didn't know where we were before-
That dosn't mean that I'm lost without you.
But you see...
I'm not afraid to die-
Cause' when I do I'll end up at the right hand of God.
But you see...
I'm not afraid to die-
I'm not afraid to die.
So lets dee how fast we can burn this thing to the ground.
Burn it down.
*Trust in Him.
Lean not on your own understanding.*
You can make it through the storm-
And it will only make you stronger.
It will only make you stronger.
You told me I wont feel a thing-
But now you wont be the one to stand in my way.
With all this hope in my heart I look to the sky
In need of love.
I can see the fear in your eyes,
There's only hope if you give up your pride.

MONSON - Residents are invited to attend an informational meeting about the tornado aftermath and recovery efforts on Friday at 4 p.m. at Quarry Hill Community School on Margaret Street.
Town officials, fire chaplains, and representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Red Cross and National Grid will attend and answer questions from the public.
They will discuss the status of power restoration in town, information about FEMA assistance, how to safely remove building debris and how that is different from tree wood waste, how to help neighbors and plans for reopening school and high school graduation.
The building commissioner also will discuss how to proceed with repairs to homes. Town officials will discuss how essential services will be maintained.
Wednesday's tornado ripped through the town, leveling homes in its way.
Ely Road, Waid Road, Washington Street, State Street, Bethany Road and Stewart Avenue were the hardest hit areas. Rubble and debris marked what once were homes along Bethany Road and Stewart Avenue.

Traditionally, as the Adirondack region advances deep into the depths of winter, the days will grow longer, the mercury drops deeper, the ice grows thicker and the snow is piled higher. However, in recent years, it appears winter can no longer sustain such winter traditions.
Outside my windows, green grass remains evident in the yard and there is no evidence of the towering snowbanks that usually line the local highways. In the distance, the free-flowing waters of Ray Brook race through the stark, leafless alder beds like a writhing black snake slithering off into the distance.
In previous winters, I remember wincing on many a winter's morn as I exited the back door into the hanging frost. The snow would squeak like Styrofoam underfoot, and as supercooled air spiked into my lungs each breath would bring a cough. Pixie dust would suspend in the frozen air at the break of day, glowing like gold in the warming rays of the morning's sun.
Article Photos
This photo of the Olympic Ski Jump Complex in Lake Placid taken last Saturday (before Monday's rain and thaw) shows how thin the snow levels have been in the region.
(Enterprise photo — Lou Reuter)
There was always one particular peak far off in the distance that beckoned me on, even on the frostiest of morns. Although I've grown older, weaker of heart and shorter of sight, that same damn hill continues to call my name.
If only there was snow to cover the ground and record my tracks, I would depart in the dark to reach the peak before the bark of a morning sun. I'd ski the fields, cross the brooks and wend my way through the hardwoods to enjoy a summit and relax.
But I hasten not to set off into the morning's glow, as there appears to be far more grass and precious little of winter's snow. The season's bite is no longer so severe, and it's bark is more a whimper with every passing year. With the current snowpack, it's difficult to track even a mouse, and with so little cover there's clearly no reason to venture too far beyond my house.
As I gaze out the window waiting for the winter to start, it's become quite apparent that the season has finally lost its once brutal heart. No longer can it be considered the most enduring season of all, especially when it is barely colder than a blustery day in fall.
Creaky and freaky week in the Adirondacks
Our old house creaked as a spell of wild weather patterns punished the area with a series of dramatic swings over much of the past week. After the winds topped out in the 60 mph range, the heavy rains turned to snow, which created uncomfortable conditions for man, bird and beast.
The thermometer performed like a Pogo Stick, as temperatures sunk to double-digits below and rebounded into the 40s. The complete cycle spanned a change of nearly 50 degrees in less than a full day's time.
In the historic hamlet of Ray Brook, history was made as Adirondack Park Agency commissioners voted 10-1 to allow the Park's largest development ever to progress.
Listening closely to the west wind several days after the ruling, I could still hear the party going on in Tupper. Like a battered heavyweight, citizens of the Tip Top town stood together and rallied a notorious community spirit around the project. They were not to be denied.
But despite numerous efforts, including a last-minute lawsuit from the environmental community, the proud crowd of citizens stood their ground. Fortunately, the APA stood right beside them. At the time it may have appeared that the town was down for the count, but they proved again that they should never be counted out.
If the proposed development of the Adirondack Club and Resort achieves even half the success of The Wild Center, Tupper Lake may again become the Crossroads of the Adirondacks, and Big Tupper will serve as the new 'wild center' of the community.
Despite the expected din of detractors, the APA's recent decision may be a sign of a long sought and well-thought-out change in policy. The old gold standard of causing "no adverse impact" was properly applied despite the rumblings, grumbling and recriminations of a few disgruntled protesters.
Lani Ulrich, the new Chairwomen of the APA's Board of Commissioners, proved to be an able taskmaster, as she kept both APA staff and commissioners from getting bogged down in the hubris of the hearings.
Despite an occasional strong hand, and a few gentle admonishments, Ms. Ulrich single-handedly painted a fresh, kinder and more compassionate face on the agency and its staff. The only "damn" mentioned at APA headquarters on that fateful Friday afternoon was used to note a "damn" good decision.
Banff film festival returns to LPCA
It's that time of year again when armchair adventurers advance to the Lake Placid Center for the Arts in order to take in some of the wildest scenery, the bravest adventurers and the best cinematography known to man.
The Banff Mountain Film Festival is scheduled to return to the LPCA on Sunday. Beginning at 7 p.m., the doors will open and the show will begin. For more information, call the box office at 523-2512.
Appealing to the younger crowd
The Adirondacks have spawned a fair share of photographers over the years, and the region has attracted many more. From the early era of Seneca Ray Stoddard to the likes of current-day artists such as Battaglia, Farb, Kurtz, Houck and Heilman, the abundant beauty of the region's natural resources provide endless opportunities for the pursuit of photography.
In an ongoing effort to attract area youth to the pleasures and treasures of Adirondack life from behind the lens, the Lake Placid Institute for Arts and Humanities is inviting all high school students in the Adirondack region to participate in a visual interpretation of their surroundings in the Institute's program, "24 Hours - A Photographic Interpretation of Life in the Adirondacks."
All photos submitted must be taken within the Adirondack Park - between April 14, 2011 and April 15, 2012 - and represent one hour of a day in the Adirondack Park. Each photo must be accompanied by a brief description of when, where and why the artist chose to photograph that particular scene or subject.
Entries will be accepted starting March 1, and must be postmarked or submitted online no later than April 15. Entries must include the photographer's name, age, grade, the hour the photo was taken, date taken, location of the photo, type of camera used and the name of the supervising teacher.
Photos must be able to be replicated in 11x14 formats. Entries should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Here are some of the best - and worst - of the week:
SUHR JUMP - You don't realize just how high 15 feet, 10 inches is until you stand next to a bar that high in person. And then to see Fredonia native Jenn Suhr take a pole and vault over that bar is even more impressive. Last Saturday's jump was the highest a female pole vaulter did in 2012 at a sanctioned match anywhere in the world. (Jenn was scheduled to jump Friday night at Roberts Wesleyan College). Suhr will also jump tomorrow before the Buffalo Bills game in the Bills' Fieldhouse during the Gameday Experience. The event is open to the public. It was great to see the crowd line up Saturday, letting her know how proud we all are of her accomplishments!
INVESTITURE CEREMONY - Last weekend was a special day at SUNY Fredonia as an Investiture ceremony was held for President Dr. Virginia Horvath. We also want to applaud Dr. Horvath's request for a SUNY Fredonia Day of Service that was held on Saturday. On that day, hundreds of SUNY Fredonia faculty, staff, students and alumni volunteered at more than 20 locations throughout Western New York. Organizations/locations such as the Buffalo Museum of Science, Chautauqua County Rural Ministry, Gowanda Historical Society, Lake Erie beaches, Springville Boys and Girls Club, the WCA Home in Fredonia, and many more benefitted from SUNY Fredonia's physical and educational resources, as volunteers lent their brains and brawn to help these highly-regarded not-for-profit organizations advance their missions.
REFEREES BACK - The NFL and its referees were finally able to come to an agreement this past week, permitting the properly trained refs to return to the field. Although it didn't appear any Buffalo Bills games were ultimately decided on a bad call, we're just glad the two sides were able to make an agreement. Now if only the National Hockey League could do the same.
SOLDIER KILLED - Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Sgt. Jonathan "Nathan" Gollnitz. Sgt. Gollnitz was killed this past week in a roadside attack in Afghanistan. Sgt. Gollnitz seemed to be aware of the eminent danger around him. "He sent me an instant message and said 'I don't think I'm coming home this time," said Wendy Eimers, a close family friend. May God bless his soul and bring care and comfort to his family.

WEST MIDDLESEX - Another day, another rainy cross country meet for the Youngsville Eagles.
Despite the wet conditions, both the boys and girls teams ran well against some of the best competition District 10 has to offer at Saturday's Big Red Invitational. The Lady Eagles placed a strong fourth while the boys were 12th overall in the 14-team field.
"All in all, it was a very good day," said Youngsville coach Ray Bennett. "The varsity boys improved over their last outing, running like before - pretty close together - and this time faster. (Bobby) Bower led the field across the line with a 20:26. A good time for a slow day."
Bower was the 51st runner to cross the line during the race and Aaron Hoover was next, finishing 62nd in 20:50. Collin Lehnan clocked in at 21:02 followed by Zach Ishman in 21:14, Gregg Yost in 21:24, Chester Ciukaj in 22:56 and Nathan Carr in 22:57. There were a total of 94 runners in the boys field.
The girls team was especially impressive with six runners earning medals. Junior Abbie Swartzbaugh was the first Lady Eagle to finish in 16th. Swartzbaugh's time was 23:00. Also earning medals were Hannah Morris (24th, 23:45), Katelyn Maille (26th, 23:54), Kellie Lindstrom (30th, 24:18), Lydia Swartzbaugh (34th, 24:34) and Mallory Eastman (38th, 25:04). The top 40 in each race medaled.
"The girls ran another strong race," said Bennett. "The big changes for the week were Kellie Lindstrom stepping into her true racing form and Hannah Morris starting to figure this distance out.
"I'm pretty happy with where the teams are right now" added Bennett. "We're learning together and working together and getting stronger each week."
The Eagles will try to continue that trend Tuesday when they visit Corry to compete with the Beavers and Harbor Creek Huskies.

DETROIT, MI- The already extremely competitive U.S. pickup truck market is going to get one more new addition for the 2014 model year.
Toyota Motor Corp. will unveil redesigned 2014 Tundra full-size pickup truck at a press conference Thursday at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show.
The unveiling will be livestreamed starting at 10 a.m. EST.
As part of the world debut of the 2014 Tundra, the Japanese automaker will conduct a panel discussion following the press conference from 10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. EST with Toyota Division Group Vice President and General Manager Bill Fay, Tundra Chief Engineer Mike Sweers, and Calty Research and Design President Kevin Hunter.
Mark Williams, editor of pickuptrucks.com, will monitor the panel, which will also be livestreamed by Toytota.
The Tundra, according to Edmunds.com, has seen its market share shrink after its peak in July of 2007 when it accounted for 13 percent of the large truck market. In 2012, Toyota sold 101,621 of the full-size pickups.
The Tundra unveiling comes less than a month after Ford unveiled its Atlas full-size pickup truck concept and General Motors Co.'s 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra made their public debuts at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The GM pickups are expected to hit showrooms the second-half of this year. Ford did not release when its next-generation F-Series is expected to debut, but officials expect it to be a 2015 model.
The Chicago Auto Show, celebrating its 105th year, is open to the public from Feb. 9-18 at the McCormick Center, 2301 S. Lake Shore Drive.

Etang du Vaulaurent (in English meaning Lake of the Golden Valley) is our private, family owned lake of some 30 acres, set in 50 acres of our own land, largely forested, and in a quiet rural valley approximately one mile from the village of St Martin sur Oust in the heart of the Morbihan, Brittany France. Our carp fishing venue is tailor made for those who either prefer a "Drive and Survive" style angling break, or, for those who prefer it, we also have serviced lakeside cabin accommodation, and a fully self contained four berth timber 'Finlandia' chalet.
Since we commenced ownership in 2012, we have carried out considerable developments around and adjacent to the water to enhance your angling break. Vaulaurent now offers fully private carp fishing in Brittany, France with no rights of way across the property, new locations for swims, a modern amenity block, lakeside cabin accommodation (equipped with kitchenette, electricity and running water) if required, and much more to enhance your carp fishing break in France at Etang du Vaulaurent Venue.
For many years a favourite fishing location for pike, perch and many other species of fish, the lake has more recently - and by its two previous owners - been stocked and used as carp fishery.
We reopened in April 2012.Since this time we have reintroduce more of 300 mirror and common carps.
Our timber cabins are new and are well located close to the water at the top of the bank, each with a good view over the lake and its own swims.
A modern amenity block is provided for those wishing simply to "bivvy" by their swims.

AUBURN HILLS, MI — Employees of Industrial Experimental Technologies located on Lapeer Road east of Interstate 75 found a woman lying dead, face down in or near the company's parking lot about 6 a.m. Tuesday, says Auburn Hills Police Lt. Ryan Gagnon.
The preliminary investigation indicates the 48-year-old woman, whom police have not identified publicly, died from self-inflicted knife wounds to the inside of her arms.
According to WDIV, Channel 4 News in Detroit, the woman was clothed but missing a shoe.
Police are interviewing family and "associates" to determine if the woman was depressed or suicidal leading up to her death, Gagnon said.
The Oakland County Medical Examiner's Office and Oakland County Sheriff's Office participated in the investigation.
An autopsy is expected to be performed Tuesday.

Kingdom coming
We have needed a good biography of Walter Rauschenbusch for some time, and Christopher Evans has provided us with the best one so far. The Kingdom Is Always but Coming covers not only the personal life of the founder of the Social Gospel movement as it developed from the 1880s through the 1920s, but also the intellectual and social history of the Progressive Era. The movement Rauschenbusch helped spawn has deeply shaped ecumenical Protestantism, especially in North America and also in many of the churches Protestants planted elsewhere as part of their 19th-century missionary efforts. At home, the Social Gospel has influenced the Christian realism of Reinhold Niebuhr, the civil rights activism of Martin Luther King Jr., the work of no small number of liberation thinkers, and today's public theology.

So why not take a look at some things the Blazers could make as their resolutions for 2008.
Rebounding. Crashing the boards. Hitting the glass. Whatever you want to call it, the Blazers need to do it better. Portland currently ranks 29 out of 30 in team rebounding. Not good. Lack of rebounding means second chances for the opposition, which can really come back a burn a team as we saw in the streak-snapper against Utah. It comes down to individual, along with team, effort.
LaMarcus Aldridge can be somewhat of a rebounding mystery, he either hits the boards hard, getting double-digit rebounds, or have a game like Philly last Sunday where he only totaled 2 rebounds. Thanks in part to his foot injury, Aldridge's rebounding numbers were down last month from November (3.9 from 8.3) and his rebounds per 48 minutes is only 10.2. These numbers can be put into perspective though, because more so than the other bigs on Portland, Aldridge can be part of the fast break and often breaks down court after a miss. Either way you cut it though, I'd still like to see LA average closer to 10 boards per, and he's more than capable.
Joel Przybilla is 26th among centers at 7 rebounds per game. No one will ever knock Joel for hustle or effort, and his numbers are a bit victim to minutes played. His numbers are up over the last month, including rebounds (7.3 from 6.5). Joel ranks near the top of the league in rebounds per 48 at 15.8.
Despite his minutes being virtually the same from November to December, Channing Frye's numbers (along with his role) have had a significant increase. His rebounding rankings vary depending on his position 49th among power forwards and 37th among centers at 4.4 boards per game. But his rebounds per 48 is an solid 11.7. Frye has seemed to step up the commitment to rebounding with his increased playing time.
Mike Barrett has more on the rebounding deficiency in the loss to Utah.
Steals. Or on-the-ball pressure. The Blazers currently rank dead last in steals per game at 5.6. Now, this hasn't proved to be imperative to the team's success, but how could getting more steals and more fast break opportunities hurt?
Aggressive attacking from start to finish. Over the course of the streak the Blazers learned how to play from ahead and keep a lead. But at times, when the Blazers held a double-digit lead, they seemed to get comfortable and allow the opposition to cut into it. Basketball is made up of runs and I understand, at this point, the Blazers will not blow out many teams, but I'd like to see them put their foot on the throat of the other team like we saw against Philly recently. This team is still developing that killer instinct most young teams do not have.
Individually ...
Aldridge: As mentioned above, increase the rebounding. I love his range and that he can face up about any defender, but I'd also like to see him add a bit more back-to-the-basket scoring.
Jack: Drive to the lane. He plays his best ball when he attacks. And when he attacks and scores, it gives him more confidence and gets his jumper going.
Outlaw: Play the first, second and third quarters like you do the fourth. Love, love, love the mentality and clutchness (is that a word?) he displays in the fourth, and wouldn't mind more of that throughout the game. And ball handling. He is a matchup nightmare for most, and once he adds the ability to really put it on the floor and drive in the lane, in traffic, he could be nearly unstoppable.
It's hard to find many negatives on this team, especially the way it played in December. So it was hard to think of many resolutions necessary for the young Blazers. That's about all I could think of ... how off base am I? And what are your New Year's resolutions for the Blazers? Bash me and leave your resolutions below.

Cinnamon Raisin Bagels
I love bagels and I was in the mood to do some baking. Since I had already made the original bagel recipe in The Bread Baker's Apprentice, I decided to use this opportunity to make the cinnamon raisin variation provided by Peter Reinhart. The only differences are an increase in yeast and the addition of sugar, cinnamon, and raisins to the dough. I loved the original bagels and quite possibly loved this version even more. They were absolutely incredible – the texture was perfectly chewy and just the right amount of sweet to complement the cinnamon and raisins. Everyone who tried them loved them and begged for more. So far they have been eaten with cream cheese, with butter, and with peanut butter, all generating rave reviews.
A beginner baker who has never tackled bagels need not be intimidated. As you'll see, there are a number of steps and involved, and it is a bit time-consuming, but certainly not difficult. The one thing you will want to take note of is the overnight rest in the refrigerator – this step should not be skipped or any short cuts taken, as this retardation, as Peter Reinhart refers to it, is a vital step in allowing the bagels to develop their characteristic flavor.
Notes on recipe:
♦ This bagel recipe makes a very stiff dough, so keep an eye (and nose) out for your KA – the last time I made these I could actually smell the motor burning. Definitely not good. If you feel like it's too much for your mixer, do the kneading by hand.
♦ I measured out the dough into 4½-ounce pieces as the recipe instructs, and I got 15 bagels instead of 12. I'm not sure why, but I was happy to have some extra bagels.
♦ Some of my bagels plumped up nicely but many others were rather flat. I'm not sure why this was – does anyone have any insight to share? The only thing I could think of is maybe I had the trays covered too tightly in the refrigerator overnight, and perhaps that kept them from plumping up to their full potential?

Cinnamon-Raisin Bagels
Yield: 12 large bagels
Prep Time: 1 hour (active) 11 hours (inactive)
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 12 hours
1 teaspoon (0.11 ounces) instant yeast
4 cups (18 ounces) unbleached high-gluten or bread flour
2½ cups (20 ounces) water, at room temperature
1 teaspoon (0.11 ounces) instant yeast
3¾ cups (17 ounces) unbleached high-gluten or bread flour
2¾ teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
5 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 cups loosely packed raisins, rinsed in warm water
2 teaspoons malt powder
1 tablespoon dark or light malt syrup, honey, or brown sugar
To Finish:
1 tablespoon baking soda
Cornmeal or semolina flour for dusting
1. To make the sponge, stir the yeast into the flour in a 4-quart mixing bowl. Add the water, whisking or stirring only until it forms a smooth, sticky batter (like pancake batter). Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for approximately 2 hours, or until the mixture becomes very foamy and bubbly. It should swell to nearly double in size and collapse when the bowl is tapped on the countertop.
2. To make the dough, in the same mixing bowl, add the additional yeast to the sponge and stir. Then add 3 cups of the flour and all of the salt, malt, sugar and cinnamon. Stir (or mix on low speed with the dough hook) until the ingredients form a ball, slowly working in the remaining ¾ cup flour to stiffen the dough.
3. Transfer the dough to the counter and knead for at least 10 minutes (or for 6 minutes by machine), adding the raisins during the final 2 minutes. The dough should be firm, stiffer than French bread dough, but still pliable and smooth. There should be no raw flour - all the ingredients should be hydrated. The dough should pass the windowpane test and register 77° to 81°F. If the dough seems too dry and rips, add a few drops of water and continue kneading. If the dough seems tacky or sticky, add more flour to achiever the stiffness required. The kneaded dough should feel satiny and pliable but not be tacky.
4. Immediately divide the dough into 4½-ounce pieces for standard bagels. Form the pieces into rolls. Cover the rolls with a damp towel and allow them to rest for approximately 20 minutes.
5. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper and mist lightly with spray oil. Shape the bagels in one of the following two ways:
5a. Poke a hole in a ball of bagel dough and gently rotate your thumb around the inside of the hole to widen it to approximately 2½ inches in diameter. The dough should be as evenly stretched as possible (try to avoid thick and thin spots).
5b. Roll out the dough into an 8-inch-long rope. Wrap the dough around the palm and back of your hand, between the thumb and forefinger, ovrlapping the ends by several inches. Press the overlapping ends on the counter with the palm of your hand, rocking back and forth to seal.
6. Place each of the shaped pieces 2 inches apart on the pans. Mist the bagels very lightly with the spray oil and slip each pan into a food-grade plastic bag, or cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let the pans sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
7. Check to see if the bagels are ready to be retarded in thee refrigerator by using the "float test". Fill a small bowl with cool or room-temperature water. The bagels are ready to be retarded when they float within 10 seconds of being droppd into the water. Take one bagel and test it. If it floats, immediately return the tester bagel to the pan, pat it dry, covr the pan, and place it in the refrigerator overnight (it can stay in the refrigerator for up to 2 days). If the bagel does not float, return it to the pan and continue to proof the dough at room temperature, checking back every 10 to 20 minutes or so until a tester floats. The time needed to accomplish the float will vary, depending on the ambient temperature and the stiffness of the dough.
8. The following day (or when you are ready to bake the bagels), preheat the oven to 500°F with the two racks set in the middle of the oven. Bring a large pot of water to a boil (the wider the pot the better), and add the baking soda. Have a slotted spoon or skimmer nearby.
9. Remove the bagels from the refrigerator and gently drop them into the water, boiling only as many as comfortably fit (they should float within 10 seconds). After 1 minute flip them over and boil for another minute. If you like very chewy bagels, you can extend the boiling to 2 minutes per side. While the bagels are boiling, sprinkle the same parchment-lined sheet pans with cornmeal or semolina flour.
10. When all the bagels have ben boiled, place the pans on the 2 middle shelves in the oven. Bake for approximately 5 minutes, then rotate the pans, switching shelves and giving the pans a 180-degree rotation. (If you are baking only 1 pan, keep it on the center shelf but still rotate 180 degrees.) After the rotation, lower the oven setting to 450F and continue baking for about 5 minutes, or until the bagels turn light golden brown. You may bake them darker if you prefer.
11. Remove the pans from the oven and let the bagels cool on a rack for 15 minutes or longer before serving.

These were fantastic. Mine also were a little flat and insanely huge. I didnt measure them though so that could attribute to the flatness. Also I got like 17 bagels (a couple of smallish ones) but some of them were really big like 5-6 inches across.
But so good. Your recipes are fantastic. Gonna be making these bagels (and your english muffins) from now on!
Finally got around to making these bagels and I just want to thank you for sharing Peter Reinhart's bagel recipe. It turned out great and really nice. Definitely worth all the effort. And, I'm thinking of other ingredients I can use instead of raisins. I can't thank you enough. And, I really enjoy reading the recipes on your blog. Unfortunately, I can't make most of them because I'm from Australia and don't have US measuring cups/spoons.

Its been a long time since this recipe was posted, but I still want to say thank you for the great, detailed instructions! Made my first batch of Bagels on the weekend and it worked out perfectly! They are super yummy and it was really easy! I actually like the overnight-resting because then you can start cooking/ baking them right away in the morning.

Making these now… your photo for the sponge looks like the yeast is "brewing". However as I made my sponge it looks very, very think. No way could I use a whisk to blend that. You directions say the consistency should be like pancake batter. Not getting that at all.
As I read your directions again for the sponge part it says to use "4 cups (18 ounces) unbleached high-gluten or bread flour". So is my math WAY wrong? One cup = 8 ounces. So 18 ounces would be just over 2 cups…. not 4 cups. Am I wrong? Is the recipe wrong? This just does not seem right and I so hate to waste all the ingredients to end up with a rock.
Hi there, thank you so much for your recipe. I'm from, and live, in Brazil. I lived in Boston 20 yrs ago, and 6 yrs in the Uk till about 2 yrs ago, in both places I could get bagels which I can't here. Just put them in the fridge and can't wait till tomorrow to see how these are gonna turn out like, and eat them with my family (they have never tried, so I'm hoping they turn out as great as I know they are). 😊

Think about how many options you have available per move (if the board is almost infiinite - then potentially you have almost an infinite amount of options), can those options be limited in some manner - are only a subset of them reasonable to inspect. If you can answer those questions it may lead you closer to an answer on how to solve it. For instance an almost infinite amount of viable options instantly rules out adversarial search like minimax/ab-pruning.

It's on to round 3 for Gallery Idol 2013! I'm super excited to be going on to the next round. The theme of this round is stamped backgrounds. And here's my card.
Head on over to the Gallery Idol contest page and VOTE for your favorite! You can VOTE FOR ME HERE!
I used four separate stamps to stamp this repeating pattern background. It was a little time consuming, but I loved the end results. Especially when I noticd the fun chevron design it made. I totally wasn't even planning on that. I chose a fun, summery color scheme to keep the card fun and girlie.
And because I wanted the background to be the focus, I kept the rest of the design simple and easy. I added a die cut sentiment, cut with my Silhouette (downloaded from this blog), a little card stock banner, a few enamel dots, and a tiny bit of twine.
Don't forget to head on over to the Gallery Idol contest page and VOTE! I'd appreciate your vote. You can vote for me HERE!! Thanks all!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Back to the aerogarden. As we tried to save money by not buying the official Aerogarden product pre-portioned seed cups; we self sabotaged our project. I had suspicions when we went with kitchen sponge instead of the official grey foam to mount the seeds in. But I figured 'hey what's the worst that can happen?'. Enter mold. FAIL BLOG.
What happens when you put an organic product inside a synthetic sponge and run it continuously under water for almost a month? You get mold. This doesn't take a genius or even a elementary school science fair project to figure out. I had thought I noticed something a few days after we 'planted' them. I noticed the sponge had changed colors in some parts but let it continue to try to thrive. About 3 weeks later upon checking the water level and to see if any roots had grown into the water basin we spotted it. A tiny but significant growth of it. Disaster! Mold.
We promptly removed all mold, seed pods, sponges and any remains of the DIY disaster. We dumped the water and bleached the inside of the reservoir. Sorry no real photos - didn't have a chance. Panic set in since a. mold is gross and b. it was in our kitchen right next to all our fresh counter top produce.
We've gotta keep it real here, no pretending that everything we do is magically awesome. Next up perhaps: a real official aerogarden?

The Big Bonk
This being my second ultramarathon, I had three simple goals for the race:
1. Run with joy.
2. Take it easy the first lap to avoid bonking in the second.
3. Have fun.
Generally, I LOVE running. The miles. The forest. The people. Running puts a smile on my face and endorphins in my brain.
That is, until Holiday Lake – the race that snuck up on me like a weasel and, in the moment, made me want to quit running for life.
The first lap was no problem. I made good time, and maintained a pace below my threshold (or so I thought). The running was smooth and light. I was never out of breath. I chatted with other runners. Smiled. Laughed. By all accounts, I was on track with my goals.
PROOF. A smile in the following photograph documents me allegedly having fun and achieving goals 1 & 3:
At the halfway point, I ditched my useless hydration pack, which had deprived me of water for miles. The tube froze during the pre-dawn start and despite shoving it down my sports bra for a good hour, the ice never thawed. So I picked up my hand-held water bottle, stuffed some Pringles in my mouth and headed down the trail.
When I ditched my hydration pack, I also ditched the "crutches" I had packed to get me through the race. Gone was the Advil to relieve my aching feet. Gone were the Hammer Gels to boost my energy. Gone was my iPod to get me through the doldrums. It was just me and the trail, mano-a-mano.
I felt good for a few more miles. The weather was beautiful. The sun warmed my face and visions of springtime dance in my head.
Then, without warning, my mood took a nosedive. My legs seemed fine, but my pace was slowing with every step. Bliss was replaced with Misery as my spirit sunk low and lower. People passed me and I didn't care. I tried to think positive thoughts, but nothing worked. I was bonking and the finish line was miles away.
When I crossed the finish line, I wasn't happy, per say, just relieved.
The Bonk lasted for a good ten miles, and I was relieved to be done. In retrospect, The Bonk was the worst AND best part of the race. The worst thing about The Bonk was my inability to get out of the mental rut. The best part was my ability to dig deep and keep going. I also learned a Big Lesson about the need to eat more food during the race.
See you at Terrapin.
