Slow-Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage
- 4 pounds lean raw corned beef brisket
- 3 tablespoons pickling spice (often included with brisket)
- 1 medium rutabaga, halved and cut into wedges
- 1 pound large carrots, cut into 4-inch pieces
- 1 1/4 pounds large fingerling potatoes
- 1 leek, white and light-green parts only, cut into 3-inch pieces
- 1/2 head Savoy cabbage, cut into wedges
- 1/3 cup horseradish, drained
- 1/3 cup creme fraeche or sour cream
Place the corned beef in a large slow cooker and scatter the pickling spices on top. Layer the rutabaga, carrots, potatoes and leek in the cooker (in this order for even cooking). Add enough hot water (4 to 5 cups) to cover the meat by at least 1 inch, put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high, 7 to 8 hours.
Remove the meat and vegetables from the slow cooker and keep warm. Put the cabbage in a microwave-safe dish with 2 cups cooking liquid from the slow cooker, cover and microwave until tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, boil another cup of cooking liquid in a small skillet until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Mix with the horseradish and creme fraeche in a small bowl.
Slice the corned beef and serve with the slow-cooked vegetables, cabbage and sauce; reserve about a quarter each of the meat and vegetables and 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid for Corned Beef Hash.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (134 votes).
In full: Is there a better organised 10k around these parts? Can't think of one. Organisation smoother than a Des Lynham link. Flatish course and superb marshalls. Also the fun run is really nicely done (my 5 year old nearly broke 10mins and feels like a proper runner with his medal :-)) Thanks to Eynsham Road Runners for making one of the best 10k's I've done just a 10 minute walk from home. See you next year when I WILL break 48 minutes.Date of review: November 28, 2011
In short: A nice way to celebrate my 10th anniversary 10kIn full: Another enjoyable Eynsham 10k. Shame about the cold showers in the school but a minor point for me. Well organised again with welcoming refreshments and friendly marshalls. Thanks Eynsham Roadrunners.Date of review: November 27, 2011
In short: Fast Course (if windy today) with excellent organisationIn full: Excellent organisation and a very fast course, though the wind took the edge off it today. Most impressed with the live reults on the website too! Shame about the couple of short stretches of grass verge, and the narrow pavement along the A40 (into the wind!), but difficult for the organisers to safely avoid these I guess. Cakes, tea and sausage rolls at the end were a bargain! One question though - was there really only one sit down loo for the blokes or did I just not look hard enough?Date of review: November 27, 2011
In short: Another well organised race on a fast courseDate of review: November 27, 2011
In short: As usual excellentIn full: As usual brilliant organisaton for this friendly 10k with a few twists and turns. Lovely sunshine this year. As always an excellent t-shirt too. Thanks to the Eynsham Roadrunners!Date of review: November 27, 2011
In short: Kinda new to racing (this being my 4th event) but obvious that this is a great event. Great atmosphere around the school with lots of friendly, helpful people around. I expect I'll be running this event for many years to come. Many thanksDate of review: December 12, 2010
In short: race was brilliant as alwaysIn full: Race was brilliant as always. Flat, fast, well organised, very friendly, hot showers and great cakes. Despite the very good conditions, I am not sure it rose above -5 throughout the race, the course was quick, frost and ice free, gritted where required and extremely well marshalled by enthausiastic and encouraging marshals despite the fact that they must have been so cold.Date of review: December 2, 2010
In short: Brilliant race as normalIn full: It's definitely a PB course, as shown by so many runners I know today. But it's just at the wrong time of year for me - I'm never really fit enough for it! Great facilities - lovely coffee and cake afterwards and the shower was lovely and warm (I didn't have one - I was just told!). The marshals and organisers did an amazing job.Date of review: November 28, 2010
In short: Another well organised eventIn full: Agree with previous comment. The marshals are the stars on a day like today. Have done this a number of times and always enjoy it.Well done to everyone involved.Date of review: November 28, 2010
In short: A proper road raceon a good course In full: It was below freezing the whole day - minus 4 at race start. The organisers and their wonderful crew of marshals did not allow this to affect the race in any way. It must have been so cold standing out on the route, but without them there would be no race. They were the stars of the event - not any of us runners. It is a nice course through and round the town, with no hills, only a few gentle inclines and some real fast bits. Good T shirt too .... Well done Eynsham! Date of review: November 28, 2010

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (149 votes).
In short: £16 quid for a 100g pudding. Your having a laugh!In full: I usually do not mind paying any fees as it is to support the particular event. Felt a bit cheated with poor goody bag. Organisation good and support does need recognising. I want to do it again next year as it is local. But do not want to feel dissapointed by the size of the pudding again.Date of review: November 26, 2013
In short: Loved it :-)In full: My first 10k in over 2.5 years due to injury, and was also one of the first 10k's I did 7 years ago. The race has grown a lot since then and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole event. Good parking, great atmosphere with room to move at the beginning, quite a testing course but at around half way we turned off the main round and the remainder of the route was on a lovely trail :-) Nasty little surprise the last half mile (route has changed a little in 7 years!). Yes, the Christmas Pud was slightly disappointing, but apparently there was a problem and not the fault of the organisers. My only constructive criticism is that there were insufficient registration desks, causing a very long queue and a 10 minute delay in starting, only minor problem, easily rectified. Thanks to all involved, great morning :-)Date of review: November 25, 2013
In short: Brilliant atmosphere, great undulating course, will do again!Date of review: November 25, 2013
In short: An explanation regarding the size of the sponsors puddings is on www.heanorrunningclub.com In full: We apologise if anyone is disappointed with the contents of the Goody bag but it was circumstances totally beyond the control of Heanor Running Club.An explanation regarding the size of the sponsors puddings is on www.heanorrunningclub.com Date of review: November 25, 2013
In short: Quite a nice race, undulating, pricey given the goody bag and tiny Christmas pudIn full: I worked very hard here for a PB so much of the scenery passed me by. Started in ugly industrial estate but otherwise quite a pretty hilly route, but I got a PB so the down hills do help. Started late due to slow number distribution, friendly runners and marshals. Goody bag consisted of tiny Christmas pud and cheap chocolate bar only plus bottle lucozade sport - would be OK but expecting more given entry fee and race billed as "Christmas pudding run". Very fast turn around of chip timed results.Date of review: November 24, 2013
In short: pudding too small this year! but the race is one i LOVE . all time fave Date of review: November 24, 2013
In short: Overall okay race, might do again next year!Date of review: November 24, 2013
In short: Hilly but friendly race, mostly road. Small but tasty pudding!Date of review: November 24, 2013

Got a nice mention in FASO's Informed Collector. Whoever wrote it - thank you very much!!
Smoldering atmospheric conditions, a myriad of shapes, and a cool color palate with just the right touch of warmth, combine to form an alluring balance amidst the busyness of the urban landscape.
"Smoldering". I love that adjective.

Murder suspect arrested in Ironwood
WAKEFIELD – A 20-year-old murder suspect was taken into custody without incident in Ironwood Township, according to state police at the Wakefield post.
Troopers were advised Friday that a warrant for first degree murder had been issued out of Baton Rouge, La., for an Ironwood Township native.
Accompanied by U.S. marshals, troopers located the subject at an Ironwood Township residence. He was taken into custody and lodged at the Ontonagon County jail, pending extradition.
Ironwood Public Safety and the Ontonagon County Sheriff's Department assisted.
According to The Advocate newspaper of Baton Rouge, Mason Chiapuzio was arrested in connection with the Baton Rouge fatal shooting of Brandon Harris, 29, on April 15, 2012.
Brandon Harris' body was found in the 1400 block of Sharlo Avenue in Tigerland, an area of Baton Rouge.
Harris was shot multiple times in a driveway. Robbery appears to have been a motive in the shooting because Harris' pockets had been emptied.
East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore III told The Advocate U.S. marshals will hold Chiapuzio while his office files the extradition paperwork.
There is a chance that Chiapuzio would fight extradition and in that case, an extradition hearing would be held.
According to police records, Harris was arrested in 2001 for possession of ecstasy, WBRZ-TV of Baton Rouge said.

Meh. Maybe worse than meh. Really good first half, awful ending, what with the contrived dance-contest-bet garbage. The ex-wife melodrama at the end was hokey too.
For a bad movie, it had more really good scenes in it than average, for sure. Pretty much every one of them had Jennifer Lawrence, who was great in it. Totally deserved the accolades she got. Without her, the movie is a steaming pile.
And it reminds me of when my friends who know nothing about sports try to write a script where a character is talking about sports. It would be like me writing a scene where two women discuss menstrual cycles.
Grade: C.

The 1977-P Roosevelt Dime seems like a common coin since it was struck in the late 1970's and especially since it has a large mintage of over 375 million coins struck. This is true for coins in circulated grades up to about MS64 or MS65 condition. However, in grades of MS67 and higher it is very difficult to find as there are less than 100 examples known. With Full Bands it is even scarcer, and in MS66 FB there are less than a dozen known. In MS67 FB it is the highest grade available with none being graded higher.

The "Silver Tsunami" is on its way and ready to wipe out our current state of affairs. If you don't know what that term means, you soon will. It's the coined name of the swift tide of baby boomers that are racing into their senior years. The numbers are soon to be astronomical. This piece in MinnPost reports that by 2030, one in five Americans (around 72 million people) will be what we consider "elderly."
And along with this demographic age shift rides an equally large mind shift. These oldsters aren't interested in aging like their parents did. With greater expectations of living longer, more actively and in better health, boomers are rejecting the designs of past decades in increasingly large numbers. They don't indend to be warehoused in nursing homes like their parents were. (more…)

Westall, Robert
Robert Westall 1929–
British young adult novelist and art and architecture critic.
In the space of five years, Westall has established himself as a distinctive voice in contemporary young adult literature. Each of his four novels has been praised for its originality, successful presentation of theme and prose style.
Westall's body of work is notable for its variety: his first novel, The Machine-Gunners, is a realistic, unsentimental account of life during the Second World War, while his other books are time-travel adventures which contain elements of history, mystery, and the supernatural. The Machine-Gunners, which won the 1976 Carnegie Medal, has been compared to William Golding's Lord of the Flies for its accurate depiction of adolescents operating without adult supervision.
The Machine-Gunners introduces several features now standard in Westall's novels: authentically described settings of Tyneside England; fascination with the capacity for violence, both physical and psychological, which exists in every person; shrewd observations of human behavior; a sardonic sense of humor; and above all the excitement and fluidity that mark a good story. Westall's novels raise questions about guilt, cruelty, chance, courage, the validity of war, the importance of myth, and the appreciation of the past. He has been criticized for creating plots that are often too complex and sometimes incomplete, and for his excessive use of swearing, violence, and sexual references.
Westall is often commended for his accurate depiction of the adolescent character, due perhaps to his years as a high school art teacher and guidance counselor. "There is an innocence and vitality in adolescents that endlessly recharges me," he has said. "I want to show them that life is basically a holy comedy—though sometimes a black one." By presenting his adolescent readers with mature themes, situations, and language, Westall shows respect for both their sophistication and their depth, while he continues to expand the boundaries of the young adult novel. (See also Contemporary Authors, Vols. 69-72.)
Margery Fisher
I can think of few writers who have put on paper as successfully as Robert Westall has done in The Machine-Gunners the sheer muddle of [the Second World War] and the day-to-day difficulty, for civilians at least, of deciding what was important. This book has a remarkable authenticity of atmosphere. It would be wrong to recommend it as anything but a story but if young people want to know what the war was really like, this book should go some way towards telling them. (p. 2707)
Robert Westall tells his story in a no-nonsense fashion, setting the scene with a light, pointed use of local idiom, cutting in moments at an early warning post, in an air raid shelter, at school, in the McGill's kitchen or Nicky's lonely bedroom, always with due attention to personality. The action of the story is dependent, ultimately, on character. Because Chris is what he is, or McGill his strict, responsible father, or Rudi with his gambling streak or the shrewd schoolmaster Liddell, certain events happen that cause more events, until the final moment when muddle and mistake come to their dangerous yet almost farcical climax. For the timing and tempering of the narrative, the free flow and the relevance of the dialogue, for the controlled humour and perception in the drawing of character, this is a notable first book. (p. 2708)
Margery Fisher, "Special Review: 'The Machine-Gunners'," in her Growing Point, Vol. 14, No. 4, October, 1975, pp. 2707-08.
Robert Bell
The cunning, initiative and courage which [the boys in The Machine Gunners] show in carrying out their plan under the noses of the adults, as well as those of a suspicious rival gang, are totally convincing and most admirably recounted by [Robert Westall], whose insight into the boy mind places him in the William Golding league. (pp. 55-6)
No better junior novel than this has appeared for a long time…. Indeed, adult readers would learn a great deal from it. (p. 56)
Robert Bell, "Fiction: 'The Machine Gunners'," in The School Librarian, Vol. 24, No. 1, March, 1976, pp. 55-6.
Aidan Chambers
[The Machine Gunners is] astonishingly good. (p. 438)
[Gripping] though the events are, it is not so much what but the way and why it happens that is important in this book. (p. 439)
[Westall's book] has two qualities that make it exceptional when placed against … other children's books about the war. First of all, his memory of the time, his recall of it and re-creation of it in his story, has a much sharper edge than anyone else's. No self-pity; no over-indulgence in nostalgia. Comedy, yes, but the sardonic, laugh-or-cry humor of wartime. And no sparing of the terrible sights, no forgetting or ignoring of the horror. He gets nearer to the living truth than others have done, and his brisk, strong, precise prose is full of little details—images that fill in the background to his story's events. There's the life of a whole community woven into the plot. (p. 440)
Just at [a] primary level—the recall of the way life was and the plotting which contains the reality and conveys its texture and sensation—Westall's writing is totally assured and confident. Remarkable in any book, all the more so in a first novel.
But the second quality I want to pinpoint changes The Machine-Gunners from an accomplished historical novel into a novel about today. Remember that focusing symbol of the gun. Remember too that the book is about a boy who begins by collecting shrapnel for...

Margery Fisher
Robert Westall believes that he owes it to his readers (who will probably be twelve or over in the main) to be frank about adult frailty, allowing that children have more charity and fewer illusions than the average junior domestic novel recognises. His book is trenchant and candid and has something of the spontaneous, sardonic humour that is one of the more agreeable traits of the intelligent 'teens. The Wind Eye is not a swipe at orthodoxy nor at the older generation but an adept and adventurous attempt at a very individual kind of realism. (p. 3018)
Margery Fisher, "Magic Domesticated," in her Growing Point, Vol. 15, No. 6, December, 1976, pp. 3016-19.
Lance Salway
Robert Westall [in The Wind Eye] is primarily concerned with his characters, with the conflict between them, and with the way in which their attitudes and behaviour are changed, for better or worse, as a result of their experiences. By the end of the book, each member of the family has come to terms with themselves and with their relationship with each other; the benign influence of St Cuthbert has crossed the centuries and touched them all. The Wind Eye is a many-layered book, and it succeeds admirably on each level. Whether the book is viewed as exciting time fantasy or as a perceptive study of family behaviour, the reader is kept in thrall until the final page. And, above all, it reinforces Robert...
(The entire section is 160 words.)
Betty Baum
The horrid, sordid aspects of the war are depicted [in The Machine Gunners] without sentimentality or sensationalism. Both children and adults are believable and the plot holds our interest. Unfortunately, the book loses some of its power and appeal because neither the adults nor the children stir our sympathy and affections. Only the German prisoner awakens any love or loyalty. A good book that might have been great.
Betty Baum, "'The Machine Gunners'," in Children's Book Review Service (copyright © 1977 Children's Book Review Service Inc.), Vol. 5, No. 5, January, 1977, p. 50.

The Watch House, set in the Robert Westall country of The Machine-Gunners, concerns Anne, who has been dumped like a lost parcel on Prudie, her mother's old nanny…. She becomes interested in the Watch House …, where there is a museum. The past begins to catch up with the present when Anne goes to dust the display cases there, and through her two unsettled ghosts begin to work towards their final emnity against each other….
It is a fast-moving, action-packed story written in a racy style; the dialogue is sharply observed and makes the necessary genuflections towards a little bit of sex, a little bit of violence and a bit more of the occult (there are several hypnotic trances)…....
(The entire section is 452 words.)
Robert Bell
The setting [for The Watch House] is again the north-east coast, again the 'feel' of this part of the country is marvellously well conveyed, and the native character, dialect and turn of phrase are absolutely genuine….
Anne becomes involved in supernatural activities which will chill young spines in no uncertain manner…. Well up to Robert Westall standards, this one. Boys and girls alike will revel in it, and it is a 'must', particularly for Machine-gunners addicts.
Robert Bell, "'The Watch House'," in The School Librarian, Vol. 26, No. 3, September, 1978, p. 264.
(The entire section is 89 words.)
Robert Westall
Ever since I wrote The Machine-gunners (and in spite of the fact that my last three books have been fantasies) people keep consulting me about realism in children's books. Rather as if I'd been appointed high priest and was being asked to read the entrails. There is not much career-structure for high priests who fail to read entrails, so I'd better come clean with what I think. (p. 34)
Perhaps all the best books start by being written for only one child, and that child very close to you. They start when the child-within-the-author turns to the real child and says, "Come away with me and I will show you a place you otherwise will never see, because it is buried under thirty, or three hundred or...

Margery Fisher
At a first reading I felt that the historical sources for The Devil on the Road were too obtrusive in the narrative, but a second reading made the careful structure of the book and the skilful correlations of past with present a good deal more apparent. The infamous Witch-Finder General of the 1640's, Matthew Hopkins, and the sadistic false witness and greed he showed towards helpless victims in Suffolk, provide the basis for the story of a first-year student at London University who … is caught up—as victim, saviour or reincarnation?—in the fortunes of Johanna Vavasour and her efforts to help certain condemned cottagers on her family estate. Since it would appear that young John Webster did in the end...
(The entire section is 231 words.)
Margaret Meek
The only way to read Robert Westall is to give yourself up to the spell of his storytelling. When his tales are about various kinds of magic, good and bad, that lurk in the everyday world of modern mechanical objects, there is a chance that they have roots deep in the past…. There is no adequate means of summarising the to-and-fro of then-and-now to make the allegory [of The devil on the road] clear, but readers of The watch house and The wind eye will recognise the Bunyanesque quality of this tale—all modern speech and long-ranging concern for the consequences of intolerance. A challenging read and a novel in the top class. (pp. 165, 168)
Margaret Meek,...
(The entire section is 132 words.)
Natalie Babbitt
There are always problems with time travels which involve real histories, and The Devil on the Road does not escape them, though Westall handles the transitions with great subtlety and skill. But the writing is so charged and vigorous, the timing of the plot so carefully measured, that the customary difficulties are minimized.
John Webster seems very real indeed, and likable; and even better, there is a young cat, deeply involved in the story and central to it, who is surely one of the best and most charmingly drawn cats I've ever encountered in a book. Her presence in the story does for it what real cats can do for real life—she is all animal but still profoundly enigmatic, a creature of...
(The entire section is 297 words.)
R. Greggs
Set in both today's England and Civil War England, [The Devil on the Road] describes the experiences of John Webster in each time period. The author attempts to develop the main character and to set the basis for the novel before he allows Webster to traipse back and forth in time. The results are useless….
What sustains the story is a fictionalized account of a witch hunt in Cromwell's England. Transported back to that era, Webster finds himself forced to decide whether to accept passively the obvious wrong of witch hunting like most inhabitants of that period or to resist. Factors like his ability to transcend time and knowledge of past events help him make his decision. In such instances,...

It seems to work as well as the expensive organic powder I was originally buying for him. He does not need any NSAID drugs as long as he gets his homeopathic supplements and his tumeric. Great price too!
It works

The days of the tight end being an extra offensive lineman are dead. Today's tight end must be equal parts wide receiver, fullback and offensive tackle.
The current passing-friendly era of the NFL has brought a renewed importance to the tight end position. Fast players with long arms and big frames are the new matchup nightmare preferred by offenses and feared by defensive coordinators. NFL teams are looking for size but also speed, agility, balance and most importantly hands. You can see a full list of what scouts want in our "How to Scout" series, but today's tight end looks more like an NBA power forward.
And that's good news for this year's draft class. The top 10 players feature speed, size, long arms and the hands to catch in traffic or stretch the field. Here are the best of the best among tight ends for 2014.

Here's another set that is filled—and we mean FILLED—with condition rarities. As you look up and down the columns of the population report, you'll find that many issues in this series show a population in MS65 or better of two coins, three coins, two coins, four coins...you get the idea.

Another great card on Saturday, featuring one of my three favorite fighters, Wanderlei Silva, going up against Rich Franklin. That matchup is going to be a great one, as it is strength against strength. Although both are good strikers, their styles are very different, and whoever can fight his own game will finish this fight quickly. There is almost no chance this goes to a decision. Hopefully it's Wand with his arm raised at the end.
Also, Cro Cop is facing the Human Punching Pag, Mustapha Al-Turk. Hopefully, Cro Cop returns to Pride form.
Can Valazquez v. Cheick Kongo will be a good one. Although Kongo has received praise recently for his newfound "ground and pound", the only time we've seen this is against the aforementioned Al-Turk and against Hardonk, who is your protypical Danish kickboxer. Cain's wrestling will dominate as long as he doesn't have the ego to think he can stand and strike with Kongo.
Dan Hardy and Marcus Davis will finally get to battle, after months of Hardy calling out Davis for being a fake Irishman. I'm glad he said what I was thinking everytime I saw that guy come out in his kilt. Embarassing. Either Hardy wins quickly or Davis wins a long battle.
AKA contender Mike Swick will take care of Ben Saunders, whose ATT training will not be able to cut it against a guy who faces some of the top fighters in the world everyday in the gym.
Uno submits Fisher, who I always thought was slightly overrated.

Southeastern Oregon Wildfire Update
A southeast Oregon wildfire has spread to nearly 250 square miles on Friday and continued to threaten homes near Harney Lake. A fire management team spokeswoman says crews have brought three helicopters to help battle the blaze that began Sunday on grass and sagebrush.
Crews were building fire lines and attempting to fight the blaze back from a rural highway that was closed early Friday. Authorities have recommended evacuations for a handful of residences near Harney Lake, but say two families have chosen to stay.
Fire crews are planning a flyover of the area on Friday to assess damage to cattle. The fire was only 10 percent contained on Friday morning.

Fatal crash in Iron County
GNC title returns to Kingsford
By BURT ANGELI
Sports Writer
KINGSFORD – Kingsford, as expected, took home the Great Northern Conference boys tennis championship with little trouble Thursday.
The Flivvers tallied 38 of a possible 40 points to win the GNC for the first time since 2010. Two-time defending champion Marquette edged West Iron County 23-21 for team runner-up. Menominee, 18; Escanaba, 13, and Gladstone, six, also participated.
"This is the deepest team I've ever had," said Kingsford Coach Mark Shanks, featuring seniors at seven of the 12 positions. "I've had better individual players but this is the first time I've been adequately strong in singles and doubles."
The Flivvers swept singles with Caleb Harrington, Adam Szabo, Daniel Harrington and Brady Hicks all winning in two sets.
In doubles, Kingsford earned honors from No. 2 Sean Ryan-Ted Pietila; No. 3 Alec Tuchowski-Joe Gregory and No. 4 Tyler Schaut-Chris Roell. Again, all titles decided in two sets.
Flivver No. 1 doubles Dalton Allen-Aidan Wienke wound up third in a highly competitive territory.
"We stumbled at one doubles but it wasn't that we played bad," Shanks said. "The one flight of doubles is the closest in the U.P. Just about any of four or five teams could have won."
Harrington, dealing with a right wrist injury suffered earlier this month, beat Gladstone's Aaron Parmet (6-3, 6-0) for the first time in three tries this season.
"I have to be a lot more patient than I usually am," Harrington said of his wrist situation. "I have to kind of take what they give me and place the balls rather than putting everything away.
"The shots I'm used to putting away I can't anymore. I have to place it more with a little finesse."
Shanks said the wrist injury has nullified Harrington's "best weapon, his top spin, put away, forehand."
"Caleb has to slice everything with his forehand," Shanks said. "That slice is a defensive shot rather than offensive. He's wearing some people down, frustrating them and showing some success."
Harrington hoped hitting deep balls would keep Parmet away from the net.
"When Aaron gets to those short balls, he can really put them away," Harrington said. "He has some monster strokes. He can hit a winner from anywhere.
"My serve was big today. I served today just about as well as I have all year."
Escanaba's Dave Fix-Jake Eastin grabbed the No. 1 doubles title with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Marquette's Kyle King-Alex Shahbazi.
Marquette also gained second-place medals from No. 3 singles Noah Gannon and No. 2 doubles Matt Collins-Mike Edwards.
West Iron's Ryan Rogers fell in the No. 2 singles final. The Wykons also tacked on four thirds.
"We could have been there (in second place)," said Coach Joe Serbentas, noting his Wykons lost some close matches.
Menominee's Devon Barley was No. 4 singles runner-up while the Maroons also took second with No. 3 doubles Colten Fernstrum-Chris Kelley and No. 4 Devon Harris-Jared Rivard.
The Flivvers and other challengers battled strong wind and chilly temperatures Thursday.
"I said don't fear the wind, it will play into our favor (because of our athletes)," Shanks said. "For the most part, I thought it did.
"All the kid came through and bingo."
Marquette hosts the U.P. Division 1 tournament on Wednesday while Westwood is the U.P. Division 2 site on Thursday.
Great Northern Conference tennis results follow:
Kingsford 38, Marquette 23, West Iron County 21, Menominee 18, Escanaba 13, Gladstone 6.
1. Caleb Harrington, K, def. Aaron Parmet, G, 6-3, 6-0; 3. Josh Downs, Mqt.

Your theory that a gas filled dough rather than an oxidize dough should be easy to test as well. Chau
This caught my attention since I had just sat down with Peter Taylor yesterday for a few minutes and I watched him form the ball he gave me, trapping a LOT of air inside that ball.....his pies definitely had leoparding
Stray,I would love your description of how Peter Taylor now forms his balls. Has it changed ftom this you tube video?http://www.youtube.com/user/pftaylor#p/u/2/z3vUSCR-_uQAZ
PB, you did a really nice job. The first pie looks like it came from a WFO. What type of flour did you use?
EDIT: 2 1/2 days later... Ok then, Never mind!
potato pizza??
Anyone else tinker with potatoes on pizzas yet?
In my experience the difficulty of this Neapolitan rimming technique is the unevenness of the crumb level of doneness even when the top Looks evenly charred.
I absolutely agree. I'm going to work on a formulation to correct that if possible. I have some ideas that I hope will work.

Counterfeit mail
ca. 1941-1945
During World War II the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) gathered and analyzed intelligence information, ran guerrilla campaigns, and conducted psychological warfare against Germany, Italy, and Japan. This is an example of an envelope to be placed in the German mail. The OSS addressed envelopes containing propaganda leaflets to individuals in Austria and Germany. The names and addresses were obtained through phone directories. Return addresses used the names of banks and export and import companies. These addresses made it plausible that large numbers of envelopes might be in one bag.

A Google Video search for "Forest Cafe" Edinburgh finds about 270 videos: videos of events, short documentaries about the forest, Ben Lancaster's christmas messages, etc etc. You can save a Google Alert so that you'll get an email whenever a new video hits those search results. I've posted a few to the blog and tagged them "videos" so that they all appear on the videos tag page.
It would be helpful if people could browse through those videos on the google search link above and could create google alerts for themselves to catch future videos and submit any good ones to the website. You could actually use http://forestcafe.tumblr.com/submit or you could just post them to this thread.
We can upload videos to tumblr as well, so if you have a video in your hands that is not on any of youtube, vimeo etc. get in touch with me.

A lot was announced this week, so I decided to break it up into several separate posts. This is part 3 in my 3-part series, focusing on our Tivoli Storage products. To read the rest of the series, see:
- [Part 1-Enterprise Systems: DS8000, TS7700 and XIV]
- [Part 2-Tape and Storage Hypervisor: Storwize V7000 Unified, LTO-6 and SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center]
- Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager v3.2
The latest release of FlashCopy Manager now supports NetApp and IBM N series storage devices. This provides application-aware snapshots, coordinated with applications like SAP, DB2 and Oracle.
FlashCopy Manager now integrates with Metro and Global Mirror capabilities, so that application-consistent copies are available at remote sites for disaster recovery, or to off-load the FlashCopy destination copy from disk to Tivoli Storage Manager storage pools.
- Tivoli Storage Manager v6.4
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager is part of IBM's Unifed Recovery Management. Here are some highlights:
- Enhanced Reporting. Cognos reporting to monitor backup and archive environments.
- TSM for ERP. I remember when these were called "Tivoli Data Protection" modules. We still refer to them as "TDPs". The TSM for ERP provides backup capability for SAP environments, and this latest release adds support for in-memory SAP HANA databases.
- TSM for Virtualization Environments IBM TSM is famous for its patented "Progressive Incremental Backup" which is far more efficient than full+incrementals or full+differentials. IBM now extends this method to VM images. With people consolidating more and more VMs onto fewer host servers, TSM-VE now offers multiple backup streams in parallel. TSM-VE can now take application-aware backups of Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, and Active Directory running in VMs. TSM-VE will also support vApp and VM templates. If it takes you [a day and a half to build a VMware template], you would want to make sure all that work was backed up, right?
- Enhanced Security. Complex password support and improved user authentication and management by integration with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
For more on this, read the [TSM v6.4 Announcement Letter]
- Enhanced Reporting. Cognos reporting to monitor backup and archive environments.
To learn more about all of the announcements this week, see the [Storage Announcement Page].

Educational failure threatens our economic prosperity, global leadership and national security, according to a report by a Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) task force chaired by Joel I. Klein, former head of New York City public schools, and Condoleezza Rice, former U.S. secretary of state.
Too many young people are not employable in an increasingly high-skilled and global economy, and too many are not qualified to join the military because they are physically unfit, have criminal records, or have an inadequate level of education.
"Human capital will determine power in the current century, and the failure to produce that capital will undermine America's security," the report states. "Large, undereducated swaths of the population damage the ability of the United States to physically defend itself, protect its secure information, conduct diplomacy, and grow its economy."
Among other policy suggestions, the report calls for expanding Common Core Standards to include "the skills and knowledge necessary to safeguard the country's national security," including science, technology, foreign languages, creative problem-solving skills and civic awareness.
Update: History, science and art are "truant" from school, said panelists at a Common Core discussion. Common Core will be creating Common Core State Standards-based curriculum maps in history and geography. David Coleman, one of the lead writers of the new English Language Arts standards, said it's impossible to teach K-5 reading "without coherently developing knowledge in science, and history, and the arts."
And that is why NAEP scores in early grades can improve slightly but collapse as students grow older. Because it is the deep foundation in rich knowledge and vocabulary depth that allows you to access more complex text.
Let's not get confused here that [the CCSS] are adding back nice things [history, arts, science] that are an addendum to literacy. We are adding the cornerstones of literacy, which are the foundations of knowledge, that make literacy happen.
There is no greater threat to literary study in this country than false imitations of literature which do not deserve to be read.
Coleman told states not buy mediocre materials with a "Common Core" stamp. Wait for the good stuff to be available, he said.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: 2013 event best everIn full: Oct 2013: I've done this race a few times over the years. The new (2011 I think) course is extremely fast - they've removed all the hills - and it retains it's local feel. Date of review: November 15, 2013
In short: Rain? What rain?!In full: As ever, a well organised, friendly event, with a great mix of club runners and beginners alike. The light rain was actually very pleasant to run in. Later, the heavy rain during the prizegiving not quite so nice! Free Fullers beer very nice, and the cake was gorgeous (particularly the ginger cake!) Thanks RRR.Date of review: June 13, 2011
In short: Lucky with the weather again ... 90% runners get a pb or sb!In full: If you want a pb, go to Eastleigh. Power of 10 web site shows approx 90% runners breaking their pb, or at least getting fastest time of the year so far. Even the winner pb'd.http://www.thepowerof10.info/results/results.aspx?meetingid=44143Date of review: March 31, 2011
In short: One of the friendliest, and prettiest races I've ever run. Enter early!In full: With views over the solent, a final km in Exbury gardens, and the remainder on pretty New Forest lanes, this has got to be one of the prettiest runs in the UK that doesn't involve running up the side of Scottish or Welsh mountains!! You won't pb here, it's a smigin over 10km, but who cares for a race this friendly. Enter early - always fills.Date of review: March 24, 2011
In short: My two quickest 10ks ever are on this course. And I've done many!In full: Excellent race, well organised, and an excellent field up-front to chase! Thanks...Date of review: February 6, 2011
In short: A very fast course with a decent field up front, coupled with the beauty of BroadlandsIn full: I loved this race - on private lands there was no worries from even parked cars, let alone moving ones, and the air quality benefitted as a result. The route was simple, and the 2.5 small laps to start no problem at all. The race appeared to be executed by about 3 or 4 people, but it all went perfectly, so what does that matter! Will be back...Date of review: January 23, 2011
In short: Perfect!In full: A fantastic new course, and but for the weather, a definte pb potential with long flat straights, with (if you've got time) wonderful views. Good organisation. Well done.Date of review: November 30, 2009
In short: Nearly there! Just a couple of niggles and Gosport RR will have cracked itIn full: All the important points in place: good start/finish, parking, loos, race hq, enthusiastic marshals, and I loved the band!Points to work on: (1)a marshal at the 8.5 mile course split is needed (2) contingence for circumnavigating the puddle like a pump, or a mown track to the left of it with that lorry removed and (3) get runners in the road where there are extensive domestic driveways. Sub 7 or 8 min milers don't appreciate that type of terrain unless its a long slow training run.Nearly there - well doneDate of review: November 16, 2009
In short: Long may this race live - it exposes the centre of historic Winchester to half an hour of frantic action!In full: Look out for the flying butresses and bollards on the frequent tight bends. If you get a pb here, you could do even better at Portsmouth in a couple of weeks.Date of review: July 17, 2009
In short: Fantastic race. Just what a Sunday Morning race in June should be like.In full: Relaxed, friendly, excelent support from marshals. Thanks!Date of review: June 7, 2009

And the Mountains Echoed
Multigenerational family saga with roots in a small Afghan village.
USA TODAY Best-Selling Books
- - this week
- - last week
- #2 Best Week
- 43 Weeks on list
USA TODAY Review
Hosseini peaks again with wide-ranging 'Mountains'
The genius of Khaled Hosseini's novels — including his best-selling The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, as well as his latest, the masterly And the Mountains Echoed — is that they pull off the neat trick of embodying and transcending the essence of a place.
That place, the author's home country of Afghanistan, has a way of being both integral and oddly irrelevant in the new book, a multigenerational saga with roots in a small Afghan village — roots that tunnel and spread to the city of Kabul, then to Paris and beyond.
The story, about the disruption of family ties and its implications for the affected parties over more than six decades, could happen nowhere else. Yet its psychology and emotions are universal, entirely untethered to the setting — Hosseini's territory is first and foremost the geography of the heart.
He maps it carefully, paying special attention to its most treacherous byways, and ends up providing one of the most satisfyingly complete documents of human connection and disconnection in recent literature.
Even in its earliest stages, the plot of And the Mountains Echoed — ingeniously prefigured by the novel's opening folk tale about a man who is forced to decide which of his children to offer up as a sacrifice to a div, or ogre, who would otherwise destroy the entire family — is difficult to discuss without spoilers. It must suffice to say that the tale is an allegory told by Saboor, a poor man who uses the story to explain his own impending actions to his young son, Abdullah.
The real-life implications of the tale, which leave Abdullah parted from his beloved sister, Pari, are devastating, both to the characters and the reader. Almost equally harrowing are the parallel, intertwining stories of Abdullah's stepmother, Parwana, and her brother, Nabi.
Parwana is the unattractive sister of the village beauty, Masooma, who ends up crippled as a result of events that will ring bells for fans of the Hollywood shocker What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (Hosseini is not above melodrama, using it judiciously and even nobly.)
Handsome Nabi escapes the village to find work as the cook and chauffeur of a wealthy but troubled family in Kabul, a nest of unhappiness into which he stumbles for life.
The surprise in both cases is that even the messiest human entanglements can yield unexpected emotional rewards; love alloyed with resentment and repulsion is still love.
If And the Mountains Echoed has a flaw, it's a familiar one for books of its time-spanning, globe-trotting genre: a surplus of characters, including some introduced fairly late in the proceedings, when the reader just wants to return to the core cast.
But in the overall picture, this amounts to little more than a quibble. This is an exquisite novel, a must-read for anyone with an interest in what it means to be alive, anywhere and everywhere.

Interested in who has the best supporters in the US?
Specifically in the US, Toronto doesn't count...
I know Rochester, Portland and Seattle have good groups in USL-1.
I believe Chicago and DC would be examples in MLS. It would appear that Philadelphia will once their team starts up as well.

Ross, Westcott Win Inaugural Havens Leadership Award
(Frank Havens during the Helsinki 1952 Olympic Games, in which he won the gold medal. Credit: Jim and Linda Ross)
USA Canoe/Kayak recently announced Karla Westcott of the Wausau Canoe/Kayak Corp. and Jim Ross of the Washington Canoe Club as inaugural recipients of the Havens Leadership Award.
The award recognizes practices and behaviors that best serve the interests and success of USA Canoe/Kayak by improving performance, creating efficiencies or enhancing quality within the sport. The winners were selected by the USA Canoe/Kayak Board of Directors after a nomination process among USA Canoe/Kayak members.
In October 2012, Westcott was named as USA Canoe/Kayak liaison to the 2014 ICF Slalom World Championships in Deep Creek, Maryland. In July 2012, she served as competition manager for the 2012 ICF Junior/Under-23 Slalom World Championships in Wausau, Wis. She is also the chair of the USA Canoe/Kayak Slalom Governance Committee and was a slalom judge at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games.
Ross competed at the international level for many years, representing clubs in Yonkers, N.Y. and Washington, D.C. He is currently on the Board of Directors for the Washington Canoe Club, where he has organized training camps, built docks, and worked to preserve the club's historic building. Through his work with the Washington Canoe Club, currently the oldest in the country, he has served as an unofficial historian and link to the Havens and other Olympic paddlers on the East Coast. His sons, Ian and Gavin are elite U.S. Senior and Junior level athletes, respectively.
Westcott and Ross will each receive a trophy, Hobie sunglasses, and a cash award to support local paddling projects in their respective communities.
The award honors the achievements of the Havens family. Charles "Bud" Havens competed in canoe/kayak when it was a demonstration sport at the Paris 1924 Summer Olympic Games, winning four medals. Bill Havens Sr. was also invited to the 1924 Games, but relinquished his seat on the team.
Bill Havens Jr. was invited to the 1940 and 1944 Olympic Games before they were cancelled. Both Bill Havens Jr. and Frank Havens competed in the London 1948 Olympic Games, with Frank winning Silver in the C1 10,000m. Frank claimed Gold in the C1 10,000, at 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki, Finland before finishing fourth and eighth at the next two Olympic Games.
Frank's son, Dan Havens, served as a volunteer Board member for the Washington Canoe Club for more than 30 years. Bill's son, Keith Havens, started a canoe club in Michigan, while another son, Kirk Havens, has volunteered for the American Canoe Association for several years.

Karla Westcott, Wausau Canoe/Kayak Corp.: "Years ago during a discussion with a colleague from the world of Canoe Slalom, we spoke of the people involved in the sport who are in it for the sport as opposed to those who are there for the shirt - the t-shirt or polo shirt which is given to officials and volunteers at most events. As someone who has always been for the sport, I am overwhelmed and humbled at being chosen as one of the inaugural recipients of the Havens Award. The commitment shown by the Havens family's support and participation in the sport through multiple generations has truly been an inspiration all of us. We can't thank the Haven family enough for their dedication to the sport."
Jim Ross, Washington Canoe Club: "When I got the phone call from [USA Canoe/Kayak Board Chairman] Bob Lally telling me that I was selected as one of the first recipients of the newly established Havens Leadership Award, I was stunned. I am extremely honored and humbled to be selected. USACK has a solid core of dedicated staff and leadership but it would not prosper without its volunteer base. The Havens Leadership Award means giving back to the sport in any way you can. If you can't run as a volunteer for National office then volunteer at your club. Can't volunteer at your club? Help run a race. Can't do that? Then cut someone a check and help out the sport in that way. There is so much to do and so many opportunities to move the sport forward but in ways large and small we all need to contribute. Do what you can, when you can, where you are."
"I've known the Havens family for over forty years as my dad had raced 'back in the day' against Frank and Bill. Later, my brother's and I raced against their sons. To me, the Havens family has emboldened the concept of leadership. Frank and Bill were both exceptional athletes and provided important leadership. However, Frank and Bill also were volunteers in their clubs and on the national canoe scene for many years."
Bob Lally, USA Canoe/Kayak Board of Director's Chairman: "First and foremost I want to thank the Havens' family for allowing USA Canoe/Kayak the privilege of using their name to honor our volunteer leaders with this Annual Havens Leadership award. USA Canoe/Kayak's goal no. 4 is 'Empower Bold Leadership' and the Havens leadership award represents our steadfast dedication to recognize our best. This was our first year recognizing the significant achievements across our enterprise and I have to say the work our folks are doing day in and day out is impressive and the nominations reflect that passion. The two winners - Karla Westcott and Jim Ross - are true ambassadors to our sport and we are honored. They both live the spirit of true volunteerism and love of community every day. On behalf of our board, I want to say great job and thank you to Karla and Jim. I also want to extend my hand out to the other nominees and say, 'well done'. In Navy terms 'Bravo Zulu' – you are all the heart and soul of sport."
USA Canoe/Kayak is a non-profit membership organization based in Oklahoma City, OK, promoting canoe and kayak racing in the United States. A member of the United States Olympic Committee, USA Canoe/Kayak is the national governing body for the Olympic sports of Flatwater Sprint and Whitewater Slalom and the official U.S. federation of the International Canoe Federation.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said the Seahawks didn't seek out a trading partner for WR Deion Branch but rather the New England Patriots' interest in him combined with the arrival of WR Brandon Stokley helped convince them to trade Branch. "Without Brandon Stokley coming in here, we never would have thought about it," Carroll said. "Stoke came in here and showed his ability right off the bat. Really, the background he had with Jeremy Bates, and then his ability to come out here and prove it to us that he was ready to take over that role, really made it an opportunity for us." Carroll also said New England approached acquiring Branch aggressively.

SE sponsors rehab application
Updates to
Sunrise Manor
By Fritz Busch
Staff Writer
SLEEPY EYE – The Sleepy Eye City Council approved a resolution Tuesday supporting a $520,000 grant application to rehabilitate the Sunrise Manor property.
Sunrise Manor is a 32-unit, Section 8, low-income family property in southwest Sleepy Eye. It was purchased in 2008 by CommonBond Communities which is requesting deferred Small Cities Development Program (SCDP) funds for a $1.4 million project to buy energy-saving and environmentally-friendly elements.
Project plans include new flooring, lighting, cabinetry, appliances, doors, water heaters, furnaces, playground equipment, grading/landscaping as well as expanded office and community room space.
CommonBond plans to submit an application June 18 to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). Other project funding sources include new RD 538 debt to finance acquisition and rehab costs. Funding awards will be announced in October.
The city council approved:
Giving a resident who lives on 2nd Ave. N.W. two weeks to get rid of nine dogs after complaints were received about the noise and number of dogs. A city ordinance allows residents to have no more than two dogs, according to Sleepy Eye City Manager Mark Kober.
A variance for Bill Walter for George Walter Jr., allowing construction of a garage and kitchen addition to the west side of his home with a two-foot setback and six-foot north side setback. Required setback was 7 1/2 feet.
Reason for the request was a need to build a two-stall garage. Available space is limited due to no alley access, according to the application.
In other action, the council granted licenses for plumbing firms and liquor sales.

Pacific Northwest Campus Marks 30 Years
The Pacific Northwest Campus of Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary marked 30 years of training leaders in the region Aug. 31 with a convocation that recalled its beginnings and affirmed a continued partnership with the Northwest Baptist Convention.
The celebration at the Northwest Baptist Center in Vancouver, Wash., drew about 200 participants, including Northwest leaders who were among the regional campus' first students.
"From the beginning this effort has been a passionate, like-minded partnership between the Seminary and the Northwest Baptist Convention," said Mark Bradley, new campus director and a PNWC graduate. He noted more than 50 students are enrolled this academic year, up from 30 students the previous year.
Former PNWC director Clint Ashley said the turnout of alumni and friends to celebrate three decades of ministry was especially meaningful. "Today, God has given me a visual of what can happen when God's people come together to accomplish something," he said.
Rickey Scott, pastor of Riviera Baptist Church in Eugene, Ore., for more than a quarter-century and one of the early students of the campus when it was located in downtown Portland, noted the importance of his experience. "It gave me some sharp tools to serve in an assignment for 25 years," said Scott. "I've learned the difference between what's worth dying for and what's not."
Bill Crews, NWBC executive director and former president of Golden Gate, noted convention leaders understood early on that developing leaders "from Northwest in the Northwest" would be critical for reaching people with the gospel message. "From the earliest days of Baptist life in the Northwest there was recognition that there would need to be leaders trained locally," said Crews. "We needed to have not only those who migrated from other places to the Northwest but we needed to train leaders from the Northwest."
In the desire to find a way to help finance the formation of a seminary campus, Crews recalled the convention in 1999 "put their money where their mouth was" and dedicated all of the Sylvia Wilson Mission Offering gifts to support of the campus. "Northwest Baptist churches gave three times what they had ever given before … and that became the basis of teaching classes here in the Northwest," he said. Since then Northwest Baptists have given $3.8 million to the work of the regional campus, according to Crews.
"No other state convention I know of has come anywhere close to giving that kind of support,"
said Crews. "We believe in that dream and we are committed to that dream. It's been true in the past, its true today and it will be even more true in the future."
The Seminary is crucial to the convention's hopes of doubling the number of NWBC churches, Crews said, from about 450-plus now to more than 900 during the next decade. "We still are only touching a small part of the Northwest so we believe in the future we are going to have to have new churches," he noted. "It means that we'll need many more effective leaders than we have today and that's why this campus is important to us. We believe in what this campus is about and we look forward to what God's going to do in the future."
Seminary president Jeff Iorg told participants the school is "reaching a level of maturity and strength that will mark its ministry in the future." With students enrolled at the residential campus near San Francisco and the four regional campuses in the western United States, Golden Gate is among the largest evangelical seminaries in the nation, he noted. "We celebrate what God has done so far but we also look forward to celebrating the future," he said.
Along with others at the event, Iorg affirmed the importance of the seminary's role in educating leaders in the Northwest. "The campus was created because we believe in contextualized training as close to the local church as possible and as closely to the place students will be serving as possible," he said. "We believe in training indigenous leaders."
He noted the way seminary education is provided is undergoing change. "The methods of delivery are changing so rapidly it's almost impossible to keep up with reading about them much less doing them," he said. "The methods we use will continue to change to stay as effective as possible in the 21st century, but the reasons we are here will not change. "The mission of (God's) kingdom is not going to change," he added. "The scope of the kingdom is global and that's not going to change."
Tom Hixson, president of the Northwest Baptist Foundation, said the Seminary, the Convention and the Foundation form an important partnership for Northwest Baptist churches. "We view ourselves, the three of us, as partners working together for a common good," Hixson remarked. "God is working with us as we work together as a united team up here in the Northwest."
Over these last 30 years, the Foundation has awarded $385,000 in scholarships to students attending the PNWC and another $225,000 has been loaned to students, Hixson reported. "Not all of us are going to be called to go to seminary, but all of us can be generous with what we have to help support students while they're here," Hixson said.

I live across the river from trenton and Taylor porkroll has been a staple of all our breakfasts. I did use it on a pizza a few times. First time I sliced it really thin and another ran thick chunks of it through my grinder and sort made a ground "hamburger" topping, then topped it with eggs. Both were great but then again I am biased when it comes to porkroll. BTW, since you are from jersey, do you remember the old Taylors stand on the wildwood boardwalk or am I dating myself again! That was a fantastic place.tom
Taylor Pork Roll, fried egg, american cheese on a kaiser roll...Mmmm.It's what's for breakfast everytime I'm at the Showboat Casino in AC.
Walter have you noticed that the taste is different than when you were a kid? It was definitely tangier when I was younger.

Akita History
- The Akita is the largest of seven native Japanese dog breeds. The modern akita is actually a recreation of that breed, restored using a combination of many breeds.
- The original akitas were used for big game hunting and for guarding. They were also used for dog fighting beginning in the 1600s, with crosses made to improve that ability. At that time they were called odate inu, or odate dog.
- In the late 1800s they began to be interbred with some foreign dogs that were brought into Japan. This influx of other genes threatened the breed's identity, as it lost many of its spitz characteristics.
- In the early 1900s a zoologist realized that the breed was in danger of being lost, and he worked to preserve it as a natural monument.
- In 1932, Hachiko gained fame for the breed as the faithful dog that waited for his master at the train station every day for the rest of his life, unaware that the man had died at work.
- In 1937, Helen Keller brought further fame to the breed when she selected one as her companion and brought it to America. It was the first akita in America.
- During World War II, most akitas were killed for fur or because of lack of food, or they were interbred with German shepherds, which were the only dogs allowed. After the war, only about 20 akitas were left in Japan. Most others were part German shepherd.
- The breed grew slowly, with fanciers making great strides to restore it to its earlier nature.
- The AKC recognized the akita in 1972.
Akita Behavior Concerns
- Makes a loyal and protective companion.
- Playful with children, but may mistake the play of visiting children as threats to family children. As with any large breed, dogs and children should be supervised.
- True to its spitz heritage, it is independent, bold and adventurous.
- A one family dog, tending to be aloof toward strangers. Early socialization so that it willingly accepts new people is important.
- Often aggressive toward other dogs and pets.
- Obedience training is a requirement for this breed.
- Learns quickly, but can be stubborn.
- Does best with reward-based training involving food or games, and an owner who can be a strong leader. Does best with reward-based training involving food or games, and an owner who can be a strong leader.
Akita Suggested Exercises
- Makes a trustworthy and alert housedog as long as its exercise needs are met.
- Requires a long walk or jog every day.
- Most akitas do not do well in dog parks.
- Games and tricks provide needed mental exercise.
- Its thick coat provides good protection against cold weather but may make it prone to overheating.
Akita Grooming
- Coat is made up of a soft thick undercoat covered by a straight, harsh outer coat that stands off from the body.
- The coat needs weekly brushing weekly-more when shedding heavily.
- Shedding is above average.
Suggested Akita Nutritional Needs
- Akitas tend to stay in good weight. The thick coat can obscure weight problems, so be sure to use your hands to feel.
- Adult dogs should be fed a balanced diet, with restricted calories if the dog starts to gain too much weight.
- Puppies should be fed a large-breed growth food, which slows their growing rate but not final size. This may decrease the incidence or severity of hip dysplasia in adults.
Did you know?

This property is Real Estate Owned, or REO. The property was foreclosed and repossessed by a lender when the owner failed to make payments. A bank is now the owner. Since banks are not in business to own homes, they are usually interested in selling foreclosed homes quickly at attractive low prices. A list price is published but reasonable offers can be submitted for consideration. Offers can be submitted through the official Listing Agent but in some cases, no agent is listed and offers can be submitted the bank owner directly.
