Skewed views surround destruction of train tracks
To the editor:
Politics sure does make some strange bedfellows. You just have to look at the variety of interests that have lined up behind the folks calling for the destruction of the tracks that connect the High Peaks to the rest of the nation's rail system. Don't be fooled by the claim that this is based on what's best for the region. This is an effort led by people who agree with P.T. Barnum. He's the guy who said "There's a sucker born every minute."
They know it will take years before they could even start destruction of the tracks, let alone begin constructing the trail. They greatly exaggerate the cost of restoring the rails by over $25 million. They vastly underestimate the cost and difficulty of maintaining the trail by claiming that volunteers will continue to keep culverts clean, beavers away and the forest from encroaching on the trail. They don't mention that the railroad performs maintenance on the corridor at a very reasonable expense, to the benefit of all of the users.
Their consultants project an immediate infusion of cash into the region from restoration of the tracks, followed by millions of tourist dollars. But they don't like to talk about the benefits the railroad will deliver.
They, the same people who work tirelessly to add to the Forever Wild areas of the Park and keep out affordable shopping centers, would have you believe that once the tracks are gone hundreds of thousands of hikers and bikers will flock to the cash registers of every shop and hotel in the area to pour money in. The trail would run through the very areas they fought to protect and bring in many people who shop at Wal-Mart. A curious change of heart don't you think?
Snowmobiles already use the corridor in the winter months. By ripping up the tracks the "shoulder" season would be a few weeks longer. But no one except snowmobilers would be safe on the 8 foot trail being proposed. Picture a skier meeting a sled moving a 60mph. They want the tracks destroyed and the existing tourist attraction eliminated so they can ride a few extra weeks. Seems a bit selfish doesn't it?
The railroad has been here for twenty years and has carried over 1,250,000 passengers. It and its riders have pumped documented millions into the region. In just a couple of years with just over $15 million dollars, it could bring more people and money into the region. AND it can do it by sharing the corridor with snowmobiles. It will carry hikers and kayakers to remote spots that are too difficult to get to on foot.
Maybe they are right and free-spending tourists will flock to this "world class" trail, (without services like bathrooms, cafes, phones Or maybe they have agendas that don't really serve the greater economic good of the region. You know what they say. "There's one born every minute."

Bon Voyage My HeartPosted Thursday, November 1, 2012, at 3:07 PM
This is one of the last days these Holders of my Heart all payed together, before my Grandsons left for North Dakota. I love not much more than to see young children have the opportunity to ride good horses that build their confidence, and be able to play/race and giggle to their hearts delight. The have their own kind of games and strategies going on out there, cowboys and indians, and the sort. I just sat quietly and watched them do whatever they wanted to do. And took pictures to look at later, when I needed to see their faces.
This isn't my horse any more. I gave him to a friend of mine a couple years ago, but I had him here for a couple weeks, and it turned out great. I had 3 horses to have 3 grandkids ride and race on! I used to use him for one of my "Lesson Horses" and he hasn't forgotten how to behave. Thank you Sharon, for the borrow
We have over the years, bought saddles to use for young kids. As you can see, there are several young kids that needed them. But the saddle on Marshmallow, I bought over 25 years ago, at Flynn's Saddle Shop in Boise. It was Evan's when he was their size, and then Katie's, and then Joey's. It has been borrowed a few times (always with a request to take proper care of it) and it has more than paid for itself. I think I only paid 250$ for it back then, and it was used then!
As you can see, "The RACE is ON!" Jilly plans to be a roper very soon, so she is practicing her "roping" twirl. She can just about 100% "catch" while on foot. Soon we'll let her try horseback.
I had to go in and check on dinner. When I came back out, this is the site I saw from my back door. (sorry for the mess) But this site makes this Grandma very happy, and wistful too.

Sara Sloan knows we're overscheduled. But as owner of Sloan Fitness and Personal Training, based in Delray Beach (419-779-1832), she believes there's always time for wellness. Surely, we can spare 60 seconds.
"The choices we make in that one minute really have a domino effect on the rest of our day," she says, explaining that the well-being we feel from stretching can inspire us to choose a salad instead of fried food at lunch—which might, in turn, make us take the stairs instead of the elevator later in the day. "Sometimes we're in such a hurry or we're so busy that we don't stop and think of the impact that one small decision can have on our health," Sloan says.
A quick meditation or a regimen of squats with a bicep curl are great ways to make the most of a spare moment. "People are so busy; they don't make their health a priority. You need to schedule time for it, the way you would a meeting," Sloan says.

Will buy for puppies/kittens. Tried on adult dogs and not much visible effects. But rescued emaciated puppy gained weight after taking it.
seems good
Posted by Reviewer2402326 on Dec 28, 2011
I give it daily to my two cats. I mix it with their wet food. I even add a little extra water to mix it smoothly. The cats really seem to like the taste. Because they eat it with extra delight. I hope it will improve their stamina and their overall health.

This story is too funny. 2 brothers win money, buy drugs, blow up house, girlfriend runs away, they get arrested all while wearing your winning lottery shirt. I couldn't take this story seriously I'm sorry
I never take meth users seriously. I had one living behind me once and I could always tell when he was cooking, because he would burn trash in the back yard for two days trying to cover up the smell.
Excellent! I plan on blowing up my house, cars, 401k plan, savings account and girlfriend on my next major lottery win.
Why couldn't I have thought of this brilliant idea before these guys.
Blowing things up could become a nice hobby for you
Just goes to show you that winning the lottery has nothing to do with GOD. Anyone can win.
Huh....... Anyone?
Were you previously under the impression that it did, jackie?
I'm sorry, you poor thing, I would have told you had I known.
You need to be more open, my little knucklehead.
I can't help you if you won't tell me what's bothering you.
We should change the subject so you don't dwell on your nuttiness...
I know!
What kind of dog did you eat today?
Someone got their britches in a ruffle. Perhaps the dog stew went bad.
Why they were simply bringing down da house!!!!
Bonjour Salut
Please explain your perfect french, what does it mean?
Bonne chance à tous! Quand je gagne, nous aurons tout des crêpes avec la confiture d'oranges sur mon balcon à Paris.
Nous allons vous tenir à celui... lol
Although considered a delicacy, dog stew needs to be closely monitored to prevent over cooking.
The smaller dog species are definitely much easier to prepare and cook. Poodles are my favorite.
Crazy meth heads, after winning you'd think they could've splurged and gone with a more classy drug, like crack.
You can't predict random.
Thank you. It means: When I win, we will all have crepes with orange marmalade on my balcony in Paris.
J'aime La France.
C'est Vrai. I hope we don't all collapse my future balcony.
You're always better off with potheads living behind you cuz though they're always slow-witted and dumb, they're usually docile and won't blow up the place.
They usually smell like cheetos instead of chemicals.
Be Happy.
Maybe they thought they had the chance to be "entrepreneurs" and start their own business off the right way and turn that lottery win into hundreds of thousands of dollars...............lol

Does online fitness coaching really work?
Q:�Will online fitness coaching help me reach my goals? A:�If you are committed to your trainer and your program, online coaching can certainly help you achieve your goals. An online trainer will have you check in with them throughout the week by email, text, phone or Skype. But because your online trainer can�t actually see what you are doing, you need to be motivated to complete your workouts with 100 percent effort on your own, and be extremely honest with your trainer when you check in. In the end, it is your body, your goals and your health. If you cheat, you are only cheating yourself. �Certified personal trainer Kristy Lee Wilson of the National Strength and Conditioning Association �Get more expert answers here.

Gender gap widening
January 31, 2007
Women spill across the cafeteria, with their backpacks, purses, scarves and coats strewn across tables and seats. Peals of laughter pepper their conversations.
In this sea of 19 women, there are only four men.
Down the hall in a computer lab, seven men slouch in chairs surrounded by 29 women.
Here, men are nearly extinct.
For more than a decade, about 70 percent of students enrolled at Clovis Community College have been female, according to David Caffey, CCC vice president of institutional effectiveness.
In his math class, CCC student Ralph Parson III is the only male. He tends to keep quiet in that class, he said.
"I'm the runt," Parson, 23, said.
Dwindling enrollment of men in postsecondary education has been a nationwide phenomenon since the 1980s, although the gender gap at CCC is more severe.
By 2003, the number of women in postsecondary education had eclipsed men.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, 58 percent of undergraduates are female.
"I can't look at these numbers without asking myself, 'Are there things we could be doing to better serve the male population?' It's a concern," Caffey said.
"For years, when you thought about gender equity, the shoe was on the other foot.
This problem just kind of slipped up on us," he said.
Caffey said CCC officials have discussed ways to bridge the gender gap: Offering more technical and occupational courses; adding social and cultural activities that appeal to men, like sports; extending night classes.
But CCC officials have not settled on a concrete plan to recruit men — yet, Caffey said.
The gender gap at Eastern New Mexico University mirrors the nationwide gap, according to ENMU officials. The university also has no concrete plans for recruiting male students.
About 51 percent of freshmen at ENMU the last two years were males, according to ENMU Executive Director of Planning and Analysis Patrice Caldwell. The trend is encouraging, but females still graduate within six years at higher rates than males, somewhat dulling recent freshmen percentages, she said.
Reasons and impacts of the gender divide at colleges and universities are still being studied.
CCC student David Woloszyn had to sacrifice a lucrative full-time career in construction to seek his degree in heating and ventilation. Now, he juggles construction work with school.
"It kills me everyday to be here," said Woloszyn, 33, who is also raising a son. "Right now I'm just getting by.
"But I'm going for a bigger goal," he said.
Therein lies one glaring reason for the gender divide: "I do think that, for whatever reason, men may be slightly more employable at an early age and without education than women," Caldwell said.
According to Caldwell, the gender divide is gaining attention nationally. Yet, in New Mexico it is still largely ignored, she said. State funding officials rarely request gender enrollment statistics, she said.
"It is very important for us all to examine who is able to come to college and make sure we are making the university as accessible, flexible and reasonable as we can for everyone," she said.

Rated 3.2 out of 5 by 23 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chippy Others so impressed, both covers have been stolen I often work late and return to a car sitting in a dark, deserted parking lot --with a heavily frosted windshield. I thought these covers would be a good alternative to being a sitting duck for muggers while either scraping the windshield or sitting in the car trying to defrost windshield. Worked well, I could put on easily, quickly by myself in a couple of minutes in morning. Grabbing cover and dragging it off to remove was even faster and did not damage windshield or car finish. Even stayed in place when weather turned unexpectedly windy ( Magnets are NOT strong enough to withstand high wind conditions). Others were so impressed with product that both of my covers have stolen!!! Great if you are going to use in your own driveway, but no way to prevent theft. I'm thinking of buying one more and adding strap that would close in the door to prevent theft. But that would increase difficulty of putting cover on. January 26, 2013

The women's basketball team (4-11, 1-0 Ivy) entered Levien Gymnasium Saturday afternoon eagerly anticipating its first opportunity to showcase what head coach Stephanie Glance has called a different team than the one fans saw early in the season.
The Light Blue proved that it in fact is a very different squad by downing the Big Red (8-7, 0-1 Ivy) 71-64 with the confidence and poise Glance has been emphasizing all season.
"We've had to build and we've had to try to really teach them how to win," she said. "Tonight we were able to play with some emotion, and we were excited when things were going right, and I think that kind of emotion comes from confidence."
Early on, the game was dominated by stifling defense from both the Lions and the Big Red. Eight minutes into the contest, Columbia found itself with a 9-5 advantage, due in part to Cornell shooting 1-for-9 from the field up to that point.
However, the tempo of the game soon shifted to a faster pace after junior guard Miwa Tachibana netted back-to-back threes, putting the Lions up 17-10.
From there, the teams exchanged baskets until only a few seconds remained in the half. On the tail end of a pair of successful free throws from Cornell forward Allyson DiMagno, the Lions managed to get the ball into senior guard Taylor Ward's hands at half-court, where she banked in the buzzer-beater, giving the Light Blue some extra momentum going into the break.
The second half picked up right where the first left off with tempo being pushed early. In spite of being held to just 1-3 shooting and not grabbing a single rebound in the second half, DiMagno began to heat up, pulling the Big Red closer to the Lions and eventually giving her team the lead, 43-42, with 9:27 left in the game.
However, the Light Blue kept it even for a couple of minutes, and eventually regained the lead at the 6:45 mark.
As the game entered the homestretch, it was looking like it was going to remain close, but clutch free-throw shooting, disciplined defense, and an ability to pull down crucial rebounds—both offensive and defensive—enabled the tenacious Lions to maitain their lead and to close out the game.
Leading the way on the boards for the Lions was senior forward Courtney Bradford, who pulled down 11 rebounds. Perhaps more importantly, Bradford and junior forward Amara Mbionwu were able to keep up with Cornell's physical play in the paint, even once they were both on the verge of fouling out.
"Amara and Courtney did a great job in the first half, but in the second half, when they got into foul trouble, they really had to do a good job because they had to play really good defense without fouling," Glance said.
After a stellar second half, Cornell's DiMagno ended up leading all scorers with 17 points. Leading the way for the Lions was first-year guard Carolyn Binder, who netted 16, going 4-for-5 from beyond the arc.
Glance is happy to see her team start the Ivy season 1-0, which hasn't been done in four years, but she knows that it will have to do a lot more to shake its underdog status. Also, she says that has helped her team up to this point, and she is excited to see what the future holds for the Light Blue.
"We're still going to be the underdog all season, which is great, and I've talked to the players about this," she said. "When you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, you can just play free and you can become confident. And I thought the way we closed out the game showed that."

Pondering the next presidential dummy, 1988
The Columbus Dispatch - August 24, 2012 01:19 PM
Kevin Trout, a COSI exhibits technician, is shown wiping off Jimmy Carter's head in this photo published in The Dispatch on March 17, 1988. Can you identify the other presidents shown? (Answers are below.)
Before the Center of Science and Industry (now COSI Columbus) moved to its new digs back in 1999, it had an exhibit of figures of all the U.S. presidents. Each figure was handmade and dressed in the costume of the subject's day. When a visitor pushed a button, a spotlight would illuminate the appropriate model and a tape recording would describe that president. (John F. Kennedy was the most popular president in the display, we reported.)
In March 1988, COSI visitors were wondering just whose face was going to join the display of 40
models. The current president on display then was Ronald Reagan.
The Dispatch reported then that Glen Gilbert, exhibits director, said COSI could unveil the statue of the new president on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20. "We will start working on the new figure immediately after the election," he said.
Gilbert would not guess who the new addition might be but said whoever is elected will have to stand tall. "We'll rearrange the back row and put him right next to President Reagan," he said.
Possibilities at the time were George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, Pat Robertson, Michael Dukakis, Jesse Jackson, Al Gore and others.
President George H.W. Bush joined the display the next year. The models were taken off display when COSI moved to its new building.
Answers on the presidents' names: Clockwise from top right are Ronald Reagan, Warren G. Harding, Ulysses S. Grant, Woodrow Wilson, and Jimmy Carter.

David Akers (1975/88): In terms of overall rarity, the 1914 is the second rarest issue of the series, only slightly less rare than the lower mintage, higher priced 1911-D. However, in gem condition, i.e. MS-65 or better, the 1914 may well be just as rare as the 1911-D and there are some who feel it may indeed be even more rare. In my experience the 1914 is available a little more often in MS-65 than the 1911-D but one is more likely to find a superb 1911-D (there are a few around) than a superb 1914 (are there any?).
The typical 1914 is very sharply struck with above average luster for the series. Some specimens show evidence of die buckling near the rims but most do not. The surfaces are nearly always very finely granular and the color is most often a light to medium greenish yellow gold. However, a number of examples also exist that a light rose or coppery color.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 5, 2012) – Four U.S. women's beach volleyball teams advanced to the single-elimination bracket at the 1 to 1 Energy Grand Slam. The tournament, part of the 2012 FIVB SWATCH World Tour, is being held in Gstaad, Switzerland.
On the men's side, four teams opened play on Thursday in the main draw, with two going undefeated.
Jen Kessy (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and April Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.), seeded No. 4, defeated Italy's 20th-seeded Gioria Daniela and Giulia Momoli 21-13, 21-13 in 31 minutes on Thursday. They closed pool play with a win over Belgium's Liesbeth Mouha and Katrien Gielen (No. 13) 21-15, 21-14 in 34 minutes.
Kessy and Ross earned a bye in the first round of single-elimination play. In Friday's second round, they will face the winner of Isabelle Forrer and Anouk Verge-Depre (No. 25) and the Czech Republic's 26th-seeded Martina Bonnerova and Barbora Hermannova.
No. 6-seeded Misty May-Treanor (Santa Monica, Calif.) and Kerry Walsh (San Jose, Calif.) went undefeated in pool play after defeating Austria's No. 11-seeded Doris and Stefanie Schwaiger 21-15, 21-10 in 31 minutes.

The two-time Olympic champions have found success at Gstaad in the past, winning five gold medals and the 2007 world championship.
"We want to grow and learn during the tournament all the way to the finals." Walsh said in an FIVB press release. "Our goal is to win here in Gstaad again. I remember when we won the 2007 FIVB SWATCH World Championships here. I love cowbells (special custom trophy for the winners) and we really want to get one."

The Mail Tribune reports more than $300,000 in state funding moves with the students.Officials think the Phoenix-Talent name is too limiting.
The four choices for a new name are Rogue South, South Valley,
South Rogue and South Rogue Valley.
Students, parents and others will be able to vote on the name
change this month at Phoenix High School and Talent Middle School.

Although the year after a presidential election is generally the weakest for stocks, other even more predictive indicators are flashing positive, writes MoneyShow's Howard R. Gold, also of The Independent Agenda.
As both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 hover near all-time highs, and other key indices have surpassed their peaks, individual investors have jumped into US stocks again for the first time in years.
Those events have prompted some pundits to get more cautious. But one long-time tracker of market trends has a word of advice: Relax.
Jeffrey Hirsch is editor in chief of the Stock Trader's Almanac, founded by his father Yale. The Almanac specializes in seasonal trading patterns, which Hirsch tracks over decades.
The two most important trends, he says, are the annual six-months-on, six-months-off pattern and the four-year presidential cycle. The six-month pattern recommends buying stocks around Halloween and selling in May. The presidential election cycle identifies the likely best (the third year after an election) and worst (the post-election year) years for equity performance.
This year, Hirsch expects a strong annual seasonal pattern to trump the historically weak post-election year and give the S&P 500 a positive return in 2013.
- Read Howard's 2013 predictions about the market and the economy at MoneyShow.com.
That's a change from the more cautious stance he took when he put together the 2013 Almanac in the middle of last year. "I'm not as bearish as I was. Right now, [it looks like] we'll have a typical seasonal year and a mild post-election year," he told me.
His best case is that the economy will continue to grow modestly and the S&P will advance 5% to 10%. (It's up 6% as of Wednesday's close.) The worst case: The "wheels come off" and we get a genuine bear market where stocks fall 20% to 30% from their peak.
"I'm not anticipating [what] I feared earlier on," he told me. "I'm not convinced that we're going to get Ursa Major."
Or maybe not even Ursa Minor. Why not? Because the market's performance so far suggests 2013 will be a good year.
First of all, the January Barometer has been a remarkably accurate predictive tool since Yale Hirsch created it in 1972. The Barometer states that as January goes, so goes the S&P 500. Indeed, according to the Almanac, "the indicator has registered only seven major errors since 1950," for a 75.8% accuracy ratio.
And then there's the "first five trading days" indicator. Advances by the S&P in January's first five days "preceded full-year gains 84.6% of the time," Hirsch wrote. The S&P was up 5% last month, and gained 2.2% in the first five trading days of the year.
Also, a positive January performance can counteract the generally weak post-election year. "Full years followed January's direction in 12 of the last 15 post-presidential election years," the Almanac wrote.
NEXT: How Stocks Perform in the Post-Election Year

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (44 votes).
In short: Just loved it!Date of review: November 27, 2011
In short: Fantastic race, great organisation, challenging but scenic course.In full: A big thank you to Blackwater Valley Runners and all the marshalls (especially the scary little ones!)for such a wonderful event.Will definitely be back next year.Date of review: November 5, 2011
In short: You gotta love the Hustle raceIn full: My second year running this great 10 miler.I enjoyed it as much as ever with a great course, terrific scenery and a Halloween theme. This year was even better with the Halloween themed medal.I'm suprised more runners don't turn up for this great event. Would love to see some sunshine in 2012 but will be there regardless. Date of review: November 4, 2011
In short: Excellent and horrendous!In full: Very friendly atmosphere and easy decent group of people involved in this. Lots of smiles all day - made me happy to be here! I suspect that in heavy rain this would be a very tough race indeed, so we are lucky that it was dry in 2011.Just short of 10m, but quite hard work - few flat surfaces throughout the whole race and the mix of surfaces (sand, deep sand, trail and grass) was unusual. I like the interlink with the 10k race - nice touch.Date of review: November 3, 2011
In short: Stunning SceneryIn full: Oh I hate running on sand and add hills to that and you know it is going to be tough. But with stunning scenery, great camaraderie and Halloween fun it was a great race and for scenery quite one of the best. Mind you I have never been overtaken in the finishing straight by a Halloween Goth in a miniskirt! Will be back next year.Date of review: November 3, 2011
In short: tough but funIn full: As hard as I was expecting. Sand and hills aren't an easy combination! Brilliant atmosphere and very rewarding! Love the goodie bagsDate of review: November 1, 2011
In short: Great 10 miles over sandy muliti-terrain route all within the army land. Very unusual for this part of the country. Good views in places.Good atmosphere with all the halloween shinagans.Date of review: November 1, 2011
In short: Tough, but you gotta smile at the masks hanging form the trees, In full: What a race route, tough hills, sand, downhills, up hills, through beautiful wood and a downhill finish.Overall, well worth doing, drove over 50 miles to be there and it has to be the race of the year for me, loved it, and will be back again next year, thank you to the lovely marshals who were plentiful and very encouraging... Well done race organisers...Date of review: October 31, 2011
In short: Sweeping scenery, scots pine forests and lots sand!In full: Among the best events in the Southern autumn cross country calendar: big open spaces, pine forests, challenging sands - comforting on fast descents - with painted/masked faces on the marshalls (and a few runners) adding to the fun of it all.Only downside is no social facility to have a cup of tea and a natter afterwards, out of the finishing drizzle, most people tend to retreat to their cars, portaloos provided though (or indoors for wimmin!) Date of review: October 31, 2011
In short: Fantastic - excellent organisation, encouraging and spookily dressed marshalls!Date of review: October 31, 2011

I might be late to the game, but I wanted to pass on this website to you golfers out there all across the country. I am not sure how I found this but I love it! If you arent aware they basically sell unused tee times to fill up the course. Not like there is much of a variable cost to a golf course, so it appears they sell times on here to at least get someone out there. I am pretty pumped about it. I know I am in Denver but here are my favorite deals.
This course http://www.coloradonationalgolfclub.com/ for freaking $20 tomorrow for 18 and a cart with GPS. Amazing. While I am not a big time golfer, this is one of the nicest (and certainly the most scenic) I have played. Never found it as low as $20, I usually pay $30 for a course that normally costs $85
And I am playing this one http://www.thorncreekgc.com/layout9.asp ... &page=4778 for $27 tonight.
Waiting to play the course right behind me. Normally $130 a round (who pays that for golf?) but they have specials on here for $39.
Perhaps I am the last one to know, but I figured I'd pass it along. They are all over the country.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 15, 2009) – U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon has announced the team's 19-player preliminary roster for the 2009 FIVB World Grand Prix, the premier annual international volleyball tournament for women.
The 2009 FIVB World Grand Prix involves 12 national teams playing a total of 69 matches over four consecutive weekends in 10 cities. The preliminary rounds are set to take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Kielce, Poland and Ningbo, China, on the first weekend, Miao Li, Chinese Taipei, Macau, China, and Osaka, Japan, the second weekend and Hong Kong, Mokpo, Korea and Bangkok, Thailand, the third weekend.
McCutcheon has elected to use a young, but very talented roster for the 2009 FIVB World Grand Prix. The preliminary roster includes 2008 Olympic Games members Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) and Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) vying for the libero position. Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa), a 2004 Olympic Games roster, and Heather Hughes (Fallbrook, Calif.) are the two pure opposites on the roster. At setter, Angie McGinnis (Fraser, Mich.), Courtney Thompson (Kent, Wash.) and Nellie Spicer (Barrington, Ill.) are the three players competing for spots on the final FIVB World Grand Prix roster.
Outside hitters on the preliminary roster include Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.), Jane Collymore (Seattle, Wash.), Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Pa.), Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.), Angie Pressey (Lake Mary, Fla.) and Kristin Richards (Orem, Utah). The six middle blockers vying for court time for the U.S. in the World Grand Prix are Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.), Alexis Crimes (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.), Christa Harmotto (Aliquippa, Pa.), Lauren Paolini (Ann Arbor, Mich.), Tracy Stalls (Denver, Colo.) and Elisha Thomas (Grass Valley, Calif.).
Akinradewo, Barboza, Hughes, McGinnis, Richards, Stalls were all alternates on the U.S. 2008 Olympic Games roster.
The U.S. Women's National Team opens the FIVB World Grand Prix at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as part of Pool A. The Americans begin the tournament versus Germany on July 31, followed by NORCECA rival Puerto Rico on Aug. 1. On Aug. 2, the FIVB will have its featured match of the preliminary round as top-ranked and 2008 Olympic Games gold medalist Brazil hosts second-ranked and 2008 Olympic Games silver medalist Team USA.
The U.S. Women travel from Rio de Janeiro to Miao Li, Chinese Taipei, the following weekend for Pool D action. Team USA plays NORCECA rival Dominican Republic on Aug. 7, Netherlands on Aug. 8 and Germany on Aug. 9.
The Americans conclude the preliminary action in Pool I Aug. 14-16 at Bangkok, Thailand. The U.S. Women face Russia on Aug. 14, Puerto Rico on Aug. 15 and host Thailand on Aug. 16.
The overall top five teams from the three preliminary weekends plus host Japan advance to the FIVB World Grand Prix Finals to be held in Tokyo. The Finals format is five straight days of round-robin competition among the six participating teams.
McCutcheon can select up to 14 players to compete in each FIVB World Grand Prix preliminary weekend and the Final Round, but they all must be included on the 19-player preliminary roster.
The U.S. Women's National Team qualified for the 2009 FIVB World Grand Prix through the 2008 Pan American Cup in which the Americans were the third highest placing team from NORCECA.
Brazil has won four of the last five FIVB World Grand Prix tournaments, including last year's gold-medal performance. The U.S. has won the event in 2001 and 1995 with its last medal being a bronze at the 2004 competition.
In addition to Brazil and the U.S. in the top two rankings in the world, the FIVB World Grand Prix has No. 5 China, No. 6 Japan, No. 8 Russia, No. 9 Poland, No. 10 Korea, No. 12 Germany, No. 13 Dominican Republic, No. 15 Netherlands, No. 19 Thailand and Puerto Rico. China and Japan are the only two teams to appear in all 17 annual events, while USA and Brazil are making their 16th appearances. Cuba, which had played in all 16 previous editions, failed to qualify for the 2009 World Grand Prix. Puerto Rico is making its first-ever appearance in the premier annual tournament.

This report provides initial results from the SGIG projects that are implementing advanced metering, customer systems, and time‐based rates to achieve one or more of the following demand‐side objectives: (1) reducing electricity consumption during peak periods and (2) reducing overall electricity consumption, or achieving energy conservation. Appendix A provides a list of the 62 projects, the types of devices, systems, and programs that are being implemented, and their deployment progress as of June 30, 2012.
This report focuses on the three projects that produced quantitative evaluation reports of their demand ‐ side efforts from the summer of 2011:
- Oklahoma Gas and Electric (OG&E)
- Marblehead Municipal Lighting Department (MMLD)
- Sioux Valley Energy (SVE)
Collectively, these projects offered time‐based rates to about 7,000 customers, and each had the primary objective of reducing electricity consumption during peak periods. Two of the projects – OG&E and MMLD – are involved in the SGIG consumer behavior studies, which are a subset of nine SGIG projects that are working with DOE‐OE and applying experimental design methods to help obtain results that are statistically valid to support investment decision making. Appendix B contains further information on the methods used in the SGIG consumer behavior studies.

- 1 dozen double ladyfingers, separated in 1/2
- 3/4 cup heavy cream, whipped with 3 tablespoons sugar until stiff
Soak crumbled macaroons in bourbon or rum. With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy. Beat in 6 lightly beaten egg yolks. Add the melted chocolate, vanilla, nuts, and soaked macaroons. In a separate clean mixing bowl, beat the 6 egg whites until stiff and then fold into chocolate mixture.
Grease a springform pan and then line it with separated ladyfingers. Alternate layers of the chocolate mixture with the remaining ladyfingers. Chill overnight. Remove from pan and decorate with whipped cream.
Contains Raw Eggs: The Food Network Kitchen suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

Good luck. The only decent ones you'll find are people who've done it with their SC kp, a gun already incredibly rare. I've been searching for a clean one for forever and I haven't gotten one (local store owner has one hung up on the wall and won't sell, fucking tease).

Topic: Deploying Rails 3.1
Hi Everyone
I've already searched different Web Hosters supporting Ruby On Rails, and each time I asked if they were supporting Rails 3.1... Each time they answered that they don't.
So, as you are a great community (already found some helps here without having asking anything ^^), I'm sure you know some Web hosters that do support Rails 3.0 and higher.
What I need is a Web Hoster for my professionnal Websites (as I created my own firm) which may quickly have a high traffic (if they do work). I'm opened to any suggestions, the monthly cost is not a problem but it's better if it's less than 30$ a month.
And, if you know a web hoster that also provides WebMails services it would even be greater .
Can anyone help me please ?
Thanks a lot !

Wife said to not make a pizza today - here goes:
October 16, 2009, 01:11:03 PM »
My daycare provider cancelled on us today so I had to stay home and take care of the baby. The wife said, "don't make a pizza today! take care of the baby! you get too distracted"
Well, the baby sleeps a lot - so here's what I made. Don't tell her
It was last minute so I was noodling around the Lehmann dough emergency thread and I found this 14 inch Papa John's clone recipe formulated by Pete-zza.
Flour (100%):347.76 g | 12.27 oz | 0.77 lbs - I used king author bread flour.
Water (56.5%):196.48 g | 6.93 oz | 0.43 lbs
ADY (1.5%):5.22 g | 0.18 oz | 0.01 lbs | 1.38 tsp | 0.46 tbsp
Salt (1.75%): 6.09 g | 0.21 oz | 0.01 lbs | 1.09 tsp | 0.36 tbsp
Olive Oil (6.56213%): 22.82 g | 0.8 oz | 0.05 lbs | 5.07 tsp | 1.69 tbsp
Sugar (4.36023%): 15.16 g | 0.53 oz | 0.03 lbs | 3.8 tsp | 1.27 tbsp
Total (170.67236%): 593.52 g | 20.94 oz | 1.31 lbs | TF = 0.136
I mixed the dry ingredients, proofed the active dry and then mixed it all together (while slightly kneading it). I put it in the oven (the top oven which was not preheating) along with a cup of boiling water. It was cold in here and a room temp rise would have been trouble.
After ONLY an hour of rising I pulled it out and kneaded it some more. Then put it back in the top oven for about 15 min of rising.
The bottom oven was preheated to 550 (which turns out to only be 500 degrees) with my pizza stone for 2 hours.
I wanted to be crazy today so I sauteed some garlic, spinach and tossed in some rotisserie chicken in a frying pan. I added this mix on top of the mozz cheese.
Lastly, I brushed some olive oil onto the rim.
Results: It was a very nice dough! My only problem is the lack of flavor that I normally enjoy with my 24 hour fridge rise Lehmann doughs. I assume this is b/c of the quick 1 hour fermentation - am I right? The consistency was awesome and the sugar in the dough really brought out some color. It was light, airy, and crunchy on the bottom.

That is a very good looking pizza.
For the record, the dough formulation you used is the one that I modified and converted from volume measurements to baker's percents, at Reply 15 at
. I mention this because, to the best of my knowledge, you are the first member to attempt the recipe and post the results. Even I have not tried it. However, having made many Papa John's clone doughs, I know what to expect from just eyeballing the formulation. In fact, when you mentioned that it was a Papa John's clone recipe, I thought it was too until I looked at the baker's percents for the sugar and oil and saw that they were lower than what I ordinarily use for Papa John's clones. The dough formulation originated with Tom Lehmann and I simply modified it and converted it to baker's percent format. However, as I noted at the above post, the dough formulation you used is very similar to a Papa John's dough but with a thinner finished crust.
I normally wouldn't recommend the above formulation for use on a pizza stone because of the high amount of sugar in the dough and my concern that the bottom of the pizza will cook too fast and prematurely turn dark or, even worse, burn. However, I am glad you used your pizza stone to bake the pizza. That suggests that it may be safe for others to use their pizza stones to make the pizza. Even then, because different ovens perform differently, I would watch the bottom crust carefully out of an excess of caution.
You are correct about the reasons for the lack of crust flavor. One hour or so of room temperature fermentation is insufficient to develop the byproducts of fermentation that are responsible for the finished crust flavor, color, aroma and texture. One thing you could try to get more flavor is to replace the sugar with a like percent of honey. You could also use a small amount of onion and garlic powders and/or dried herbs in the dough.
Do you plan to ever tell your wife about the pizza or have you and the baby eaten all of the evidence and vacuumed up the crumbs?

Thanks Peter!
One additional thing to re-emphasize is that while I preheated my stone to 550, my oven is only achieving 500 degrees. Perhaps I would have had a really burnt pizza if my oven was calibrated correctly. I even pushed the limit a bit and left the pizza in the oven probably a bit longer than I should have. I was so excited to see the dark rim that I wanted to let it go as long as I could.
But I am extremely impressed with the quality of this recipe considering the 1 hour rise. I would definitely mess around with honey the next time.
Yes, I'll tell the wife. She's a good sport. Of course she'll think I'm nuts for having pizza for both lunch and dinner. But I was bored - the baby fell asleep for about 4 hours straight! Now if only the little one would do that in the middle of the night.

Not sure if it is right or not but I have used Mollasses instead of sugar for awhile now. Seems to work pretty good and definitely adds the color

Excellent brownage without burning Grilling 247. I usually end up with pale all over crusts, or blotches of burn on pale crust, or an overall burned crust. I'll have to try this sometime.

It will be a big year for: Investment banking
Financial News looks at the names from the investment banking industry who are set for a big year in 2013.
• Gaël de Boissard Head of fixed income, chief executive of Emea, member of the executive board of Credit Suisse Group AG and Credit Suisse AG
Credit Suisse paid de Boissard the ultimate compliment in November last year, when it announced that he would join Eric Varvel in heading the investment bank. De Boissard will be working as part of a larger effort across the bank to address a series of challenges including further reducing risk-weighted assets and the balance sheet; focusing on businesses with higher returns; ensuring sustainable returns on equity and further transitioning to the new regulatory capital regime.
As leader of the fixed income business, de Boissard will face speculation as to whether Credit Suisse will follow in the footsteps of Swiss rival UBS, which retrenched from much of the fixed income business last year. But Credit Suisse's recent results from this business look promising – the bank's fixed income, currencies and commodities business made revenues of Sfr 1.5bn ($1.64bn) in the third quarter of 2012, up 26% from the previous quarter. Nevertheless, Credit Suisse is looking to make Sfr2bn in cost savings by the end of 2015.
De Boissard also chairs the Association of Financial Markets in Europe, an industry organisation that engages with policymakers on financial regulation and according to his chairman's message in AFME's 2012 annual review, his role will include ensuring that financial reforms do not have a detrimental impact on market users and the wider economy they serve.
• Colm Kelleher President of institutional securities, Morgan Stanley
Kelleher won sole control of the bank's institutional securities group in November last year, when it was announced that former co-president Paul Taubman would retire this month. The sales and trading specialist will play a key role as the bank looks to shrink risk-weighted assets in its fixed income division to $255bn by the end of 2014. At the end of last June they stood at $320bn.
He will also be tasked with maintaining morale in the investment banking business, following the departures of Taubman and Simon Robey, head of the UK and co-chairman of global M&A. In a statement announcing his appointment on November 5, chairman and chief executive James Gorman said: "I am confident that under Colm's leadership, we will continue to align sales and trading more closely with investment banking and capital markets to drive synergies between these businesses and optimise our ability to grow our revenue base and drive profits."
• Andrea Orcel Chief executive officer of UBS investment bank
When Andrea Orcel left Bank of America Merrill Lynch early last year, co-chief operating officer Tom Montag summed up the departure in just 12 words in an internal memo. Contrast that to last November, when Orcel spent 730-words setting forth his strategy at new employer UBS where he heads the investment bank.
According to internal memos seen by Financial News, Orcel's new game plan revolves around a new "capital-light model", focusing on "clients, not products". UBS's big gamble is that shedding capital-intensive businesses, such has much of fixed income, will give the bank the edge in a more highly regulated market.
Orcel is one of the leading client-facing bankers of his generation, bringing in a plethora of big-ticket deals during his time at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. However, many in the industry will be waiting to see whether Orcel can play the two roles of external dealmaker and internal manager with equal aplomb.
• Richard Taylor Head of Emea investment banking at Barclays
Taylor begins the year with a new role as Tom King's successor at the helm of the UK bank's European investment banking effort, following two years as head of that business for the UK and Ireland. Former UK head of investment and corporate banking at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, where he worked for 10 years, two key tasks await him: to champion the universal banking model following last year's Libor scandal, which saw the departure of group chief executive Bob Diamond, the architect of Barclays' full-service structure; and to continue the bank's push in M&A and equity capital markets.
Barclays has established itself as a prominent player in both those markets since the acquisition of Lehman Brothers' US interests in 2008 and was ranked fifth in European M&A and 11th in equity capital markets tables last year by Dealogic. With both sectors likely to suffer continued low volumes this year, Taylor faces a major challenge in building the performance of those businesses to match that of its debt operations, for which it was ranked second last year.

* Previous Volly meet Action Points
We went through previous APs, only outstanding issue is regarding the conflict engagement workshops, but Nathalie and Maria are not present.
AP: Hannah to talk to N & M about a conflict/barring workshop.
* Barring people
Sometimes barring is clear cut, sometimes it is not. Who has the final say on questionable cases? FWG ultimatly, but at the time it's for the KM/NM to decide.
Confirmation of barring process is wanted. There are no written guidelines, but the NM training advises that a warning should be given first. There is also a private NM subforum on the BB with a barred thread containing photographs.
New barred cam?
(Milk to print Barred Folk photos for the volly toilet)
AP: Milk to add other NMs to the private forum.
AP: Milk to confirm with the FWG for basic barring guidelines
AP: Milk to speak to FWG about monies for a new camera
* Volly Party!! Xmas? NYE?
When is the next Forest Volly party? EVS folk will be away for much of the holiday season. Two parties, one before, one after? Stair painting party? First party of 2010? 8th Jan? Close cafe at 9pm? BYOB-no-spirits doesn't apply to private volly events. Nativity theme? 60s Nativity? Chest rugs, medallions, bell-bottoms, tie-die, etc...
AP: Hannah to "Make It So".
* Volunteer mailing list
Automatically adding volly e-mails to the mailing list? Hannah says that she checks for volunteers who last more than a couple of weeks then adds them to the list.
Volly WG arrangements?
Invite more volunteers and get FWG/admin to talk? Depends on who is coming. Posters are make for it already, as is the volly mailing list to notify people about it. Vollies to pimp it to other vollies in the kitchen/etc.
Possible handsign poster to entice folk into coming? An idea..
AP: All to pimp.
* Forest Volunteer Guide
Jonny, milk and Hannah look at it and comment.

This article talks about lighting for macro. I have found that the LumiQuest BigBounce works very well for macro work. I mount it on my SB-24 flash and just hold it right over the subject (using the SC-17 cord, of course). It has a large enough area that the shadows are quite soft. It does not have a hot spot in the center like some other diffusers.

Hi there! My name is Devon and I'm 16 years old. I joined PETA because I hate animal abuse and the whole slaughterhouse and inhumane things that go on there. Currently vegetarian, but going in the vegan direction! I love the Beatles, Wings, and Paul McCartney in general. I became vegetarian as a mix between honoring the late Linda McCartney and loving animals. Don't be afraid to talk to me!
