Reviews of this property
I had great days in Stockholm at Madeleine's place: The apartment is located in Södermalm close to everything including public transport. The room provides an amazing view over the city and is very cozy. There is literally nothing you could want to complain about. But most important: Madeleine and her son Joakim are wonderful people. Madeleine is a very warm-hearted person. Communication with her is always easy and she offers help to anyone at any time. It was a great pleasure to stay at her apartment.
Madeleine was an excellent host who answered any questions we had and welcomed us warmly into her home. She prepared a very nice breakfast for us each morning, asking us the night before what time we would like it prepared.
The room was very clean and we were able to fit two beds into the room. I'd prefer to stay in an apartment rather than a room, but the cost was very affordable, especially for Stockholm which is very expensive. The apartment was located very close to public transportation.
Madeleine is an amazing person, she did everything for make me feel comfortably, the room is very pretty, and near of metro station. I really recommend to stay in this room.
Madeleine is a kind-hearted host. The room being close to the City Center, Gamla Stan and Slussen (5 - 10 minutes by bus), it is very convenient to visit Stockholm. I also liked very much the area of Mariatorget.
Madeleine is a very great hostess who makes you feel from home- to-being. We had a nice long weekend, not least through the valuable advice of Madeleine.
The location of the apartment, the transport links as well as the room itself left us nothing to be desired.
Madeleine ist eine überaus tolle Gastgeberin, die einem das Gefühl von zu- Hause- Sein gibt. Wir hatten ein schönes verlängertes Wochenende nicht zuletzt durch die wertvollen Tipps von Madeleine.
Die Lage der Wohnung, die verkehrstechnische Anbindung als auch das Zimmer an sich haben uns keine Wünsche offen gelassen.
Very pleasant stay, great hostess, good breakfast, the apartment is in good transport connections. Gladly again
Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt ,tolle Gastgeberin ,gutes Frühstück ,die Wohnung liegt in verkehrstechnisch günstiger Lage . Gern wieder
Madeleine is an active, always smiling and a great encouragement to help in any way necessary woman. He speaks many languages, so it's perfect for those who do not speak languages and feel a bit lost when they reach Stockholm. Surely Madeleine made the stay even more enjoyable.
The apartment is located in Södermalm (my favorite part of Stockholm) that makes it easy to reach the city center even on foot. Although no metro stop is really close, you just have to walk a bit to reach Zinkensdamn stops or Medborgarplatsen and also there are several buses that stop just outside the house. Moreover, it is just minutes from South Station, which can be reached from the airport.
The guest bedroom is the prettiest of the house and the views are vast.
As areas for improvement would no WIFI in the apartment, although Madeleine offered at all times use their computer. The bathroom is shared by several people, although it was no problem and was always available when I wanted to use it.
Madeleine es una mujer activa, siempre sonriente y con un gran ánimo por ayudar en todo lo necesario. Habla muchos idiomas, así que es perfecto para aquellas personas que no dominan idiomas y se sienten un poco perdidos cuando llegan a Estocolmo. Sin duda, Madeleine hizo que la estancia fuera aún más agradable.
El apartamento está situado en Södermalm (mi parte favorita de Estocolmo) que hace que sea fácil llegar al centro de la ciudad incluso andando. Aunque ninguna parada de metro está realmente muy cerca, sólo hay que caminar un poco para llegar a las paradas de Zinkensdamn o Medborgarplatsen y, además, hay varios autobuses que paran justo al lado de la casa. Por otra parte, está a pocos minutos de la Estación Sur, a la cual se puede llegar desde el aeropuerto.
La habitación de invitados es la más bonita de la casa y las vistas son muy amplias.
Como puntos a mejorar pondría que no hay WIFI en el apartamento, aunque Madeleine ofreció en todo momento usar su ordenador. El baño es compartido por varias personas, aunque no fue ningún problema y siempre estaba disponible para cuando quisiera usarlo.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Make sure your kids are calm when you arrive to Australia's largest railway museum.
Otherwise, they're likely to get overexcited as you enter this historic yet state-of-the-art facility that often features the children's sensation Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends.
Trainworks is an easy 90km drive south from Sydney to the hamlet of Thirlmere and boasts more than 100 unique rail carriages and steam, diesel and electric locomotives dating back to the 1800s.
My family and I arrived at the five hectare site on a weekend when Thomas and Friends were part of the many existing attractions that will keep kids entertained and adults astonished for an entire day.
Children jumped up and down in anticipation as we approached the site that boasts outdoor, indoor and under cover attractions.
The Day Out with Thomas included a full-size Thomas while his fellow engine Henry transported families in 1920s passenger carriages on 50-minute return rides to Buxton.
The Fat Controller was available for a hello and photos while volunteer staff provided intricate details about the train line that was once part of the Melbourne run until bypassed in the 1920s.
The lush grass area gave way to Thomas jumping castles, mini Thomas train rides and face painting with plenty of space left for visitors to enjoy the many picnic areas.
Donald, the black engine, remained parked but billowed along while knowledgeable staff explained the inner workings of steam technology.
Some of the rail lines lead into the museum which, along with the Great Train Hall and Roundhouse, were upgraded in the past few years.
The museum has elements of the train station scene from the first Harry Potter movie with the Governor-General's carriage, aptly nicknamed the "palace on wheels", on display.
Children delighted in entering the prison carriage which is equipped with mannequins and a motion-sensor that triggers an audio script between inmates.
At the far end of the museum is the old mail train equipped with a small slide that pops children out in front of the Legend of 1021 theatrette.
The lights go out before a curtain is rolled back, displaying steam engine Cardiff 1021 that arrived to NSW in 1916.
The audio and visual effects included moving and talking holograph images of the men who once worked on the small engine during two World Wars and the years following until its retirement in 1970.
Had enough?
Venture outside to the Great Train Hall where more than 60 locomotives and carriages span hundreds of metres in length and include the State Governor's car, the rail pay bus and the "rolling grocery store".
At the end of the hall is the working roundhouse where staff perform maintenance and upkeep.
On Thomas days, Toby the Rail Motor, ferries visitors back from the far end of the Hall to the museum if you're not up to the long return walk.
GETTING THERE: Trainworks is in Thirlmere, south of Sydney and northeast of Canberra.
STAYING THERE: Trainworks is an easy day trip from Sydney, but if you're looking for accommodation try the NSW South Coast near Wollongong. Check out visitnsw.com.
PLAYING THERE: Trainworks is open seven days a week but closed on Good Friday and Christmas Day, with more information on trainworks.com.au.
The next Days Out with Thomas are the weekends of July 13-14 and September 28-29.

Evening from Down Under,
I purchased a tealight mold from BetterBee (15 cavity) and when I pour, occasionally the tea lights have a hole / crack.
If anyone has seen this happen, be happy for your advice about how to stop it. Odd as not every single tealight has this hole / crack, it's also not the ones that are poured
first or those at the end, it seems to be the ones in the middle. (pictures attached)
Pouring temperature: 158 f

Fragrant lemon zest, briny olives and salty feta balance the bitterness of the dark leafy greens in this Greek-inspired tart. The crackerlike crust is quite sturdy so you can serve this as finger food at your next party or alongside a mixed green salad for a light supper.

Serves 8
Prep Time 60 min
Total Time 120 min.
Step 1
To prepare crust: Combine whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, thyme (or oregano), salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Make a well in the center and add 1/3 cup oil and 5 tablespoons water. Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry to form a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic and chill for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom with cooking spray.
Step 3
Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to the prepared pan and press into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any overhanging dough and use it to patch any spots that don't come all the way up the sides. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork in a few places. Bake the crust until firm and lightly brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes.
Step 4
To prepare filling: Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chard stems and cook, stirring, until just tender, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add chard leaves and 2 tablespoons water and cook, stirring, until the leaves are just tender and the water has evaporated, 2 to 5 minutes. Transfer the greens to a sieve over a bowl and let drain and cool for 5 minutes. Whisk eggs, ricotta, lemon zest and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Fold in the greens, olives and feta. Pour the filling into the crust. Bake the tart until the top is lightly browned and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.

About the Collection
In the early 1980s, Swapan Basu and wife Roma began a hand painted accessories business. Swapan focused on creating a special painting process for handbags, and Roma designed each of the paintings for the bags. Their son, Bhaskar became involved in the family business after college, and founded Basu Corporation in 2000. Utilizing the closely guarded painting technique, the first Anuschka® handbag was sold in September of 2000, and the company has continued to grow the business by focusing on handbags that blend art and function. Today the company has 30 artists, with designs sold around the globe.
Every Anuschka® handbag begins with carefully selected rich and supple leather crafted into fine handbags with practical features, precise handcrafted workmanship, signature lining, custom made hardware and branded zippers. The hand painted art on each of the Anuschka® bags is a feast for the eyes. The colors are a powerful element in each design, plus the wide range of abstracts, imaginary, and natural scenes depicted in muted colors of all shades and hues, transforms each handbag into an object of timeless art. The artwork is designed, and then translated one article at a time by expert craftsmen, creating one-of-a-kind works of art in every handbag.
Anuschka® bags are perfect for the woman who appreciates art, enjoys high quality handbags, fine leathers, and seeks to incorporate beauty with function.
About the Guest
Son of Swapan and Roma Basu, Bhaskar grew up watching his parents working hard to build their business in India. He spent summers working with them, watching his mother design and train artists, and watching his father select the leather and coordinate the process flow.
Bhaskar chose to go to college at an American university, where he received a degree in Business Administration. In 2000, he founded the Basu Corporation with his parents. As the business grew, Bhaskar got more involved in trend research and design.
Today, Roma and Bhaskar work as a team and have succeeded in bringing original designs, capturing the fashion of the season as well as the lifestyle of the people who wear Anuschka® bags.

Salute to veterans: WWII POW 70 years later
MOREHEAD CITY - On this veterans day, NewsChannel12 remembers and honors veterans with the story of a man who survived 15 months as a prisoner of war in Nazis Germany.
Hugh Aderholt is 88-years-old. 70 years ago he enlisted in the army and was deployed to Africa. His company moved from Africa to Italy.
Aderholt joined the 34th "Red Bull" division. From Naples, Italy, Aderholt's division fought the Germans to a town known as Cassino. Under the cover of artillery fire, Aderholt and 40 others sneaked into the German controlled town. They encountered tanks, and upon finding cover from the artillery in a bunker, was captured with 5 other Americans.
"When I got captured, my parents got two telegrams," Aderholt said. "Missing in action and it was a good while before they found out I was a POW."
For the next two days, the Germans kept their prisoners underground until shelling of the town ceased. Aderholt was moved out of the city. Germans moved their prisoners to Germany where they spent time on and off the move for 15 months.
"It was pretty tiring, walking all night on a slice of bread and thin soup," Aderholt said. "You get pretty weak walking all day on a slice of bread."
Aderholt didn't shower or stay in a bed during that time.
"We had several nights where a thousand of us slept in one big sheep barn," said Aderholt.
As Russians closed in on Germany, Aderholt and other prisoners were moved from Holland, to Belgium where they were met by the American, Allied front. The prisoners were liberated. Aderholt was headed home.
Three weeks after his liberation, the war was over.

Quality is still the standard of the Thanisch family estate. A great part of this quality is due to the Doctor Cellar which is hewn deep into the rocks beneath the vineyard. Here all Thanisch wines are matured in tradional old oak Fuder casks at a constant year-round temperature of 8 C (45 F). Recently, the family has invested heavily into modern technology, gentle handling of uncrushed grapes and cold, controlled fermentation. The estate is today owned by Margrit Mueller-Burggraef, a grand-daughter of Dr Hugo Thanisch. View all Dr. Thanisch Wines
About Mosel-Saar-RuwerView a map of Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wineries
Notable FactsRiesling is the grape of the Mosel – the combination of this grape with the slate soils is what makes Mosel wines so breathtakingly delicate. Common descriptors of the Mosel Rieslings include steely acidity, wet stone and delicate texture. Lower in alcohol and high in acidity, the wines are still balanced with the rich flavors of Riesling and the slate-y flavors from the soil. Two districts (or Bereiche) that you find most often on Mosel labels are Bernkastel and Zell. Both are good producers of wine from this region. Many other good wines are coming from the area – just look to make sure the bottle says "Riesling" on the label – that's a sign of quality.
About Germany
White Wine GuruWith some of the steepest and northernmost vineyards in the world, as well as the coolest climate, Germany produces some of the best white wines in the world, mainly Riesling. Delicate, age-worthy, intense and elegant are the typical descriptions for these wines. Note that "sweet" is not a common descriptor because the idea that most German wines are sweet is just not so. In fact, the majority of wines made in Germany are dry and more recently, the country is exporting value wines that are easy to drink, extremely food friendly and, luckily for some, containing labels that are easier to read!
The classification system of Germany is somewhat confusing. Like the rest of the old world, there's some hierarchy to it all. The categories are: Tafelwien (table wine), Landwein (land wine, similar to France's Vin de Pays) and the first "Q" level, QbA. QbA wines are easy-drinking and inexpensive – the only requirement being that the wine must come from one of Germany's thirteen official wine growing regions. The final level is QmP, which is the strictest level of German wines. The qualification consists of 6 levels, based on ripeness level at harvest, though that does not always translate into sweetness level.
Here are a few definitions to help in picking out a German QmP wine:

Is there a database that is being kept of CCD locations and number of bees affected?
If not, do you think a database like this would be nice to have? If we can get such a database going, and people use it, it may help with the cause in showing how wide spread the problem really is.


text: It will only be great to watch if the new Russian teams are ranked fairly. If they are given inflated marks just because one person in each team is a former Olympic medalist, that will not be fun to see. As it is, I&K themselves sometimes got inflated marks. Should they really have been so high after the SD in Saitaima after the major twizzle mistake?

If you're looking for a game with attitude, you'll definitely find it here,
as Space Channel 5 has more attitude than a pretentious, ego-trippin'
Broadway thespian. The main character, Ulala, is a pinnacle of style. With a
faboo pink do and a plastic orange skirt, she fights the evil Morolians with
dual "lasers" and dances to save the humans who have fallen under their control.
The basic gameplay is really simple and unlike dance games that have come
before it. The Morolians do a little dance consisting of D-pad and button pushes
and Ulala must mimic them. That's it. It won't take a degree from U.C. Berkeley
to figure out how to play, but a sense of rhythm is more important than taking
your daily vitamins.
The only problem with Space Channel 5's control is a small lag when
pressing "shoot" (the A or B buttons). It is unfortunate that this type of control
problem would occur in a game where timing is crucial. The lag problem will
frustrate many gamers during their first few times playing, but a little bit
of practice will solve it.
Graphically, Space Channel 5 is amazing. Backgrounds are actually MPEG
videos that clearly make the sparse, retro-futuristic furnishings in the game
stand out. The costumed characters are all well designed, punctuating the stylish
theme. Just think of Austin Powers meets the Jetsons. Yeah, baby. Do I make
you funky?
The motion capture in Space Channel 5 is top notch. All of the dancers
move with stunningly life-like grace and fluidity. The choreography of the dancers
is great, making Space Channel 5 really amusing to watch.
The game also has multiple paths based on how well you can make Ulala dance.
These paths will lead to different characters that just might join your dancing
troupe. Profiles of these characters can also be unlocked as the game progresses.
This feature allows you to get an in-depth look at the game's characters and
even watch them groove solo.
with any dancing game, good music is vital to your enjoyment. Bad music can
easily turn a good game into a coaster for your favorite coffee mug. Luckily,
Space Channel 5 is all about good, clean, funky tunes that will get your
feet moving and your head bobbing. It's also the kind of music that will implant
itself in your brain for a few days, refusing to leave until you've woken several
times at four in the morning humming the main theme.
As a bonus, Space Channel 5 players have a shot at saving a special
guest celebrity from the clutches of the Morolians. The infamous Michael Jackson
has joined up with Sega once again (anyone remember Moonwalker?) and lent his
dancing skills and trademark "Whoo!" to the game. Save the "King of Pop" and
Ulala's dance troupe begins to resemble a gang from "Beat It."
But alas, even Space Channel 5's slick style can't hide its shortcomings.
One of the large, gaping holes left by Space Channel 5 is the lack of
any type of multi-player game. For example, a HORSE approach could have been
taken, with players freestyle dancing to the beat. Opponents would have to replicate
their moves or gain a penalty. This seems so basic, yet it hasn't been done.
Another annoyance is the relatively small amount of play time. Even with the
multiple paths, you probably will not be playing Space Channel 5 for
days on end. In fact, a gamer with decent rhythm skills should beat the game
in about an hour.
This lack of depth can also be seen in the gameplay, which is essentially just
a game of Simon. You never get to improvise your dancing, and just following
the computer's directions becomes, well, a bit boring. Even the original Parappa
the Rapper allowed you to freestyle.
Space Channel 5 is a total mixed bag. On one hand you've got great
visuals, fantastic music, and a disco ball full of positive energy. But the
short amount of play time, slight control problems and zero multi-player really
take away from the experience. A rental, for sure, but not necessarily one to

Colorado senator challenging recall decision
DENVER (AP) - A prominent Colorado lawmaker who supported gun control measures is fighting a recall effort against him.
Democratic Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs wants the secretary of state to throw out a recall petition drive. During a hearing Thursday, Democratic attorneys argued the recall petition was improperly worded and must be thrown out.
Lawyers for Morse's opponents say the language has been used for years.
Opponents easily cleared a threshold of signatures needed to force the first recall election of a state lawmaker since Colorado adopted the recall in 1912.
Another Democrat targeted for a recall is Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo. She has made a similar appeal based on petition language.

Schwindel played an integral role in the No. 18-ranked Mountaineers opening their Big 12 season with two key road victories. The Livingston, N.J., native scored a goal and earned an assist in WVU's 2-1 win at Oklahoma State on Sept. 27 and at No. 9 Baylor on Sept. 29, giving her six points on the weekend.
Schwindel relentlessly attacked the Cowgirls' net on Friday, taking a game-high six shots. She connected on her third shot on-goal in the 42nd minute, giving the Mountaineers a lead they would never relinquish. She helped extend WVU's advantage to 2-0, as she sent a cross to sophomore Kelsie Maloney for the team's second goal.
Schwindel helped WVU jump out to a quick 2-0 lead at Baylor on Sunday. She set-up the team's first score, playing a ball behind two Bears defenders to Maloney, who cashed in on a one-vs.-one situation in the 23rd minute. Schwindel then tallied her own goal 14 minutes later, slipping behind the BU defense and receiving a through ball from junior defender Jess Crowder.
WVU's win at Baylor was record-breaking, as it snapped BU's 31-match unbeaten streak. It also ended the Bears' 17-match home unbeaten streak. Prior to the WVU match, BU had only allowed one goal all season, and no scores in Waco. The Mountaineers were the first team to tally four goals on the Bears in Waco since 2009. The win over BU, the defending Big 12 Tournament champions, was WVU's 11th in nine seasons over a top-10 opponent.
Through 12 matches, Schwindel owns a team- and conference-best eight goals. She ranks second in the Big 12 behind senior teammate Frances Silva with 19 (8 G, 3 A) points.

Mekonnen Wins Tokyo Marathon, Amateur Kawauchi 3rd in 2:08:37 (updated)
Update: Reader vilagoiberia just sent me a link to this video of the last 6.5 km of Kawauchi's run.
Dreams come true - Yuki Kawauchi
Losing its biggest stories one by one with the withdrawal of world record holder Haile Gebrselassie (Ethiopia), defending champion Masakazu Fujiwara (Team Honda), debuting Kenyan star Gideon Ngatuny (Team Nissin Shokuhin) and debuting former university Hakone Ekiden star Hideaki Date (Team Chugoku Denryoku), in its fifth edition the Tokyo Marathon got something else entirely.
With the day dawning with ideal conditions, 7 degrees, light partial cloud cover and gentle winds, everyone knew the race would be fast. 19 year old pacer Bitan Karoki (Kenya/Team S&B), who ran a course record 27:52 a day earlier in the senior men's 10k at the Fukuoka International XC Meet, took the race out slightly ahead of schedule, splitting 14:56 for the downhill first 5 km and 14:59 for the next. 15 km went by in 44:49, 20 km in 59:53 and halfway in 1:03:11. People began to fall off the pack soon after halfway, and following 25 km formerly Japan-based Ethiopian Hailu Mekonnen and Kenyan Paul Biwott notched up their speed along with pacer Henry Sugut, breaking up the pack and opening a gap that was never closed. Mekonnen in turn got away from Biwott with 9 km to go and ran alone unchallenged the rest of the way. With temperatures rising to the mid-teens he slowed roughly a minute off his projected low-2:06 finish, holding on for a two-second PB to win in 2:07:35 but missing the course record of 2:07:23. In his post-race interview Mekonnen expressed his happiness at winning his first marathon in a return to Japan and dedicated the joy to his wife. Biwott hung on to 2nd in 2:08:17, but the big story was happening further back.
As the two leaders pulled away after 25 km, Japan-based Kenyan Mekubo Mogusu (Team Aidem) led four others in a chase pack: second-time marathoners Cyrus Njui (Kenya/Team Hitachi Cable) and Takaaki Koda (Team Asahi Kasei), debutant Yoshinori Oda (Team Toyota) and 23 year old Saitama Prefectural Government worker and amateur runner Yuki Kawauchi. A surge by Oda after 30 km dropped Koda and Kawauchi, and the race broadcast became fixated upon Oda, well on track to break the debut marathon national record of 2:08:12. Mogusu soon faltered, leaving Oda and Njui to battle as they went on to the first of the five bridges in Tokyo's last 6 km. Oda's coach was elated at his runner's strong debut performance, a possible record on the way and a guaranteed spot on the World Championships team his if Oda held on to clear the 2:09:30 time requirement. Then, the cameras shifted to show Kawauchi coming up from behind.
Kawauchi was one of the big surprises of last year's Tokyo Marathon. In university he had opted to attend an academically-oriented school instead of a Hakone Ekiden powerhouse, taking satisfaction from beating runners who had chosen sports over academics. Making Hakone several times as a member of the select team and showing exceptional toughness on the downhill Sixth Stage he attracted offers from a variety of top corporate teams post-graduation but again chose to spurn the system. Saying that he wanted to show younger runners that they didn't have to join a corporate ekiden team to be successful he took a full-time office job with the Saitama Prefectural Government, fitting in his training schedule around his 9-hour workday. He ran several marathon PBs in a row, broke 14 for the first time over 5000 m, then in the freezing rain of last year's Tokyo Marathon took 5 minutes off his PB to finish 4th in 2:12:36, a major accomplishment. Following up with a low-29 10000 m PB, he struggled for much of the rest of the year, running only 2:17:54 at Fukuoka in December. Earlier this month he ran a surprising 1:02:40 half marathon PB at Marugame, suggesting that he might get down to 2:10 territory if all went well in Tokyo. It did.
As Oda and Njui began to show signs of strain they settled into a cruising mode, giving up on an ambitious time and working together to stay alive but oblivious to Kawauchi's approach. At 38 km just before Kawauchi made contact Oda's coach sounded the warning bell, but although Oda picked up the pace Kawauchi gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and surged past the surprised pair. Njui tried to follow but Oda could not keep up and let go. On the edge of his abilities, Kawauchi, wearing a singlet that said simply, "Saitama," continued to run with eyes closed, almost missing a right turn before 40 km and losing seconds to Njui and Oda who took the corner sharp. On the second to last hill at 40 km Kawauchi put his chin all the way down on his chest and attacked. Njui was broken.
Kawauchi ran away free into 3rd, surging again on the final uphill at 41 km as Biwott in 2nd place came into sight. Going all out, Kawauchi was barely staying on his feet and nearly fell rounding the final corner, but he kept going and even mustered up a kick to take 3rd in 2:08:37 with the fastest last 2.195 km in the field, a 4-minute PB, the fastest time by a Japanese man since 2008, the fastest ever by a Japanese man on the Tokyo course, picking up a guaranteed spot on the World Championships team, a BMW for being the first Japanese man, and a legend. He fainted a few steps across the line and was taken away to the medical area in a wheelchair, unavailable for a post-race interview.
Oda overtook Njui for 4th in an outstanding 2:09:03 debut and filled in for Kawauchi when the media came. It's very possible he will also make the World Championships team, and combined with Kawauchi Oda's run suggests that the glitch in Japanese men's marathoning over the last two years may after all be largely due to a generational gap. Or maybe it's just a lack of toughness. Unfortunately for Oda, his excellent run was completely overshadowed by Kawauchi's performance, a run so good it should have been fiction. A full-time worker with an old-school attitude and work ethic who trains alone in his spare time on a mission to show up the system in an era of hand-wringing by those who control it, and he did it. He's going to the World Championships. Maybe the Olympics. If Arata Fujiwara leaving the system last year was a body blow, this was a knockout punch.
In the women's race, most of the attention was focused on the return of former national record holder Yoko Shibui (Team Mitsui Sumitomo Kaijo) to the marathon after an absence of almost two years. First-timer Misaki Katsumata (Team Daiichi Seimei), a training partner of Yokohama International Women's Marathon winner Yoshimi Ozaki, went out at 2:25 pace while Shibui, looking heavy and awkward, ran more conservatively behind. By 27 km Katsumata was slowing, only able to look over helplessly as Shibui picked it up and went into the lead. It looked as though Shibui would manage the win, but in the final kilometers she faltered and was overtaken first by Russian Tatiana Aryasova, then debutante Noriko Higuchi (Team Wacoal), then, in the final stretch, by Russian Tatiana Petrova. Aryasova took the win in 2:27:29, with Higuchi completing a solid 2:28:49 debut for 2nd, Petrova close behind in 3rd in 2:28:56. Shibui wound up 4th in 2:29:03 as Katsumata rounded out the top five over two minutes back.

I just bumped into duathlon national champ Yuya Fukaura, a former training partner of Kawauchi's, in the park. He couldn't believe Kawauchi's run and ascribed it to his intense spiritual toughness. He said the last thing he can imagine is Kawauchi driving around in a new BMW.
Winner Mekonnen also has a nice progression to his marathon performances:
2:12:36 - 9th, Barcelona, 3/7/10
2:09:01 - 8th, Paris, 4/11/10
2:07:37 - 5th, Amsterdam, 10/17/10
2:07:35 - 1st, Tokyo, 2/27/11

Japan may not have the best marathoners, but they have the best comedian runners. First there is Kampei-chan, who ran around the world, now Hiroshi Neko (neko means cat) running 2:37. He's a short guy and was wearing funny shorts, and was going like the blazes when he passed our cheering group at about 40km.

Excellent write-up Brett!

From Arata:
[After recovering from an injury setback in early Jan.] my training was insufficient this time. If it had been a 2:09 race I think it would have been OK, but the pace today was too hard. Kawauchi was incredible.
- February 28, 2011 at 11:23 AM
I love this Kawauchi, he is awesome. Apparently he brought a suit with him to the marathon, so he could get up early this morning and go straight to the school he works at by 8:15am. Today is apparently the day for School Entry applications, so he is staffing the desk.
Apparently he brought a suit with him to the marathon so he could go straight to work. Wow!

Awesome, awesome result for Kawauchi - just incredible... Terrific write-up too. I was excited just reading it!!
- March 1, 2011 at 12:09 AM
Thats a truly inspirational story. Its good to see there's still room for the independent runner, especially as governing try and exert more control over the sport.

I just want to say how much I appreciate your blog. I like to go out to the race (Hakone Ekiden and Tokyo marathons) to take photos and capture the crowd/mood from the fringe. So when I get home I head for your blog to figure out what happened. Thanks so much for your valuable service.

I put together a frame nailing jig (deep) from the plans here. Took great pains to cut precisely to size. Tested it with a couple of new frames, found that it is just a hair long and the bottom strips will not nail up in the jig.
I think I can easily remedy this either by shaving the spacer bars on the side of the jig or by rabbeting the end boards by perhaps a sixteenth.
Anyone have any experience here? Are commercial frames from different suppliers sometimes a hair different in length? If so, I will want to make the jig adjustable.
Rabbeting the end boards is easy as both sides & both ends can be rebated to fit 4 different brands of frame.
Any tips? I've always done this the hard way.

|GTA V Latest News | #GTAV | #GTAOnline
2008 EA wouldn't change GTA, only sell more
GTAGaming.com - Rockstar/Take2 News | @ 06:12 PM MDT | By rappo
Following a day filled with news of Electronic Arts wanting to buy out Take-Two Interactive, Take-Two's subsequent rejection, and a plethora of Grand Theft Auto and Bioshock fans expressing their own concerns, EA CEO John Riccitiello has decided to share the details of his plans, if all had gone well.
I wouldn't change a line of code in "BioShock" nor would I in "GTA" or "Max Payne"... what we would do is sell more of it.
John Riccitello, CEO - Electronic Arts
Riccitello also went on to explain that EA lacks M-rated content and that an acquisition of Take-Two would have certainly boosted EA in that department (which, ironically, was one of the many concerns that GTA fans expressed - many feared that the franchise would be censored or dumbed down to better follow EA's standards). When asked about the apparent monopoly that EA would have over sports games if the Take-Two deal went through, Riccitello suggested that they would have still had rivals such as "Wii Sports" and "Hot Shots Golf".
It's impossible to tell in what direction the GTA franchise would have gone if EA's offer wasn't rejected, just as it's impossible to tell if Riccitello's explanations were what he had in mind before yesterday's publicity and outrage. I think it's safe to say, however, that Grand Theft Auto is in no imminent danger - so for now it's onward to GTA IV!

- 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 egg yolks
- 4 to 6 drops red food coloring
- 1 egg white
- 2 to 3 drops green food coloring
- Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll one sheet of pastry into a 15-in. circle. Using a floured 5x4-in. pumpkin cookie cutter, cut out eight pumpkins. Repeat with remaining pastry. Spread mustard over eight pumpkins. Layer with ham, onions and cheeses to within 3/4 in. of edges.
- In a small bowl, beat yolks with enough red food coloring to achieve an orange color. In another small bowl, beat egg white with green food coloring. Brush orange mixture over edges of pastry. Top with remaining pumpkins. Press edges to seal; trim edges with a fluted pastry wheel. Brush stems with green mixture and pumpkins with orange.
- Transfer to greased baking sheets. Bake 15 minutes or until browned. Yield: 8 servings.
Reviews for Pumpkin Hot Pockets
"My grandkids loved this cute idea and it is something they can make with just a little help.As for the snide remarks, just read the recipe. It'll take 10 seconds and if it's not what you are looking for, don't make it. Lots of people eat pork (shrug) and some of us "get" that it's actually shaped like a pumpkin, not that the recipe includes pumpkin. I do not feel deceived, LOL."
"This is so cute and my kids loved eating filled mini pumpkins for lunch and they had a lot of fun helping me put them together we will definately make these again! I can's wait for Santa ones and valentines day ones...the shamrocks are going to rock!"
"how cute! I like the crescent roll to use for sandwiches. Kids had so much fun helping make these, they loved it, something different. We used sliced turkey."
"So there's no pumpkin in the recipe. No need to be unkind. I think it's a cute and clever way to get a hot pocket for any holiday. I don't have any young children or grandchildren but I would make for myself and my grown son."
"I would make some variations to this recipe. If you don't like the recipe don't make it. Pork was the meat of Americans long before beef became available. The only reason I can think of to make it wrong to eat pork is that you are Jewish. Where are your open minds?"
"I have been looking for creative ways to make these and this is a very good suggestion. I also appreciate the picture that was included so that one would know after reading the ingredients that it is in the shape of a pumpkin to enhance little ones need for visual. Very good idea!"
"Thanks for the idea - will make again and do seasonal "adjustments". Think I might try smaller size with refrigerated cresent roll dough..."
"Always look at the ingredients before making a decision....It's fall & pumpkin time"

C|EH Core Concepts
I can't say for certain what intrigues me more, the fact that they're putting out supplemental info for free or that one needs to submit a course evaluation to get it.
http://www.eccouncil.org/courses/certif ... acker.aspx
WHAT IS CEHv7 CORE CONCEPTS?
EC-Council launches CEHv7 Core Concepts on August 17th, an addendum written by real-world penetration testers (pen testers) in order to support CEHv7 students and information security professionals to better understand and apply the subject matter covered in the CEHv7 official curriculum.
Core Concepts adds a layer of depth to the already robust CEHv7 course. Based on the perspective of real-world pen-testers, Core Concepts further develops a detailed understanding of the ideas in CEHv7. Recognizing that the concepts presented in the CEH course are broad, complex and require constant updates, EC-Council has released this addendum to help students gain a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter as they steer through the various concepts, labs, techniques, best practices, methodologies, and frameworks that are presented in CEH.
To produce Core Concepts, EC-Council appointed a group of highly regarded pen testers with real-world experience to ensure that the real-life applications of CEH are thoroughly covered, beyond what is presented in the courseware or covered by the instructor in class.
According to Jay Bavisi, EC-Council's CEO, "While the CEH is a product of hundreds of subject matter experts' contributions, we felt compelled to appoint a couple of the subject matter experts to further elaborate key ethical hacking skills in their own words. We are convinced that this will enrich the entire learning experience of the EC-Council CEH program."
HOW DO I GET MY CEHv7 CORE CONCEPTS FREE?
Effective August 17th, Core Concepts is offered to all EC-Council CEHv7 students free of charges. Please find below how you can redeem this:
New CEHv7 students are required to fill up their EC-Council Course Evaluation (the steps to complete the course evaluation can be found on 2nd page of the CEHv7 official courseware) and opt "YES" to receive the Core Concepts and other benefits from EC-Council.
Existing CEHv7 students who had completed their EC-Council Course Evaluation will receive an e-mail from EC-Council on how to redeem their Core Concepts within 3 business days.
Students who attended CEHv7 official training and has yet to fill up EC-Council Course Evaluation, what are you waiting for? Fill up the EC-Council Course Evaluation (the steps can be found in 2nd page of the CEHv7 official courseware) and opt "YES" to receive your Core Concepts.
Students who have access to CEHv7 Academia iLearn, iClass iLearn, digital courseware, or e-courseware will have their Core Concepts pre-bundled in their account.

To Qualify for this program you must:
Am I an Oregon resident?
You are an Oregon resident if you have an Oregon address.
When does coverage start?
Coverage starts as soon as you receive your I.D. Card.
How long should it take to receive an I.D. card?
You should receive an I.D. card within 7 business days of applying. If you do not receive a card within that timeframe, call 1-800-913-4284.
Does the I.D. card expire?No.
What pharmacy will I go to?
Use the pharmacy locator to find a retail pharmacy in your area. You can also ask the pharmacy that you usually do business with if they are part of the OPDP network. In addition, there are two mail order pharmacies also available: 1) Postal Prescription Services and 2) Ardon Health Specialty Pharmacy
Are all my prescriptions covered?
All FDA approved prescriptions prescribed by a licensed clinician are eligible for a discount. This program does not give discounts for over-the-counter drugs, which are drugs you can purchase without a prescription.
Will this program cost me anything to join?
There is no enrollment fee for enrolling in this program. Should a nominal fee ever become necessary you will have no obligation to remain in the program.
I went to the pharmacy and my old discount card gave me a better discount than the OPDP card!
We expect that to happen sometimes because most of the discount cards previously issued are sponsored by a specific pharmaceutical manufacturer, so their drugs may receive a greater discount. However those same manufacturer discount cards won't offer that good discount on other manufacturer's drugs. OPDP discounts are across the board, so keep the card for new prescriptions you might have. It does not cost the pharmacist anything to get an estimate of the cost of an Rx through the OPDP so he can tell you before you purchase the prescription what the cost will be. Also, remember that the greatest discounts through OPDP will be on generic drugs!
How do I find out if I could get a cheaper drug?
Ask your physician or pharmacist if there is a generic or equivalent drug that may be cheaper than the drug you are prescribed? Or look up drug costs on this website under "Look Up Drug Cost."
How much of a discount will I receive?
Discounts will vary depending on whether a drug is generic or brand. The greatest discounts are on generics and they can be as high as 80%! The average discount is probably about 50%.
What is a brand Rx or a generic Rx?
Brand drugs are still on patent so they are only manufactured by one company. Because there is no competition, these are the most expensive drugs.
Generic drugs are made when a drug comes off of patent. Several manufacturers can now make the drug so competition drives the cost down. The FDA finds generics as safe as brand name drugs. Also, evidence-based research has shown that higher cost brand drugs are NO MORE effective than lower cost alternatives.
Where do I find information about different prescription drug assistance programs?
Where do I find information about evidence-based research on prescription drugs?
Does my spouse enroll separately?
Yes, each person, including children, must enroll separately so each has a member number.
How do I enroll?
Call 1-800-913-4146. For those who like to get on-line, they can enroll on the OPDP website: www.opdp.org
Where do I get applications in other languages?
A Spanish, Russian and Vietnamese applications are available on-line at www.opdp.org.
If I enroll in Medicare Part D drug coverage why would I want to continue to use my OPDP discount card?
The OPDP discount card may give you a better discount than your Plan gives you when you are paying 100% of the drug cost. You will pay 50% of name brands and 93% of generics. this will change every year until 2020 during the "gap in coverage". This gap happens when individual's prescription drug expenses are between $2,840 to $6,447.50 (2011) in a given year and they are responsible for 100% of their drug costs.
If I am enrolled in Medicare Part D drug coverage and I use my OPDP discount card why do I have to send my receipt to my Part D Health Plan?
If you want your OPDP expenses to apply towards your Medicare Part D costs, you must send your receipt to your Medicare Plan. Right now, the only way to get this information to your Plan is to send it in by mail. If that changes we will notify you. In the meantime it is very important to send the paper receipt to your Plan and notify them that it needs to be credited toward your Medicare deductible and out–of-pocket expense.
What if I am enrolled in a Medicare Part D Plan and I want to use my OPDP discount card on a drug not covered by my Medicare Plan drug list?
If the prescription drug is not on your Medicare Plan's drug list, it cannot be counted toward your out-of-pocket expenses. However, every Medicare Plan has an exception and appeal process that you can follow to ask the Plan to pay for drugs that are not on their list. If the Plan approves your exception, your drug costs can count toward your Medicare deductible.
What if I am enrolled in a Medicare Part D Plan and I want to go to a pharmacy that is not on that Plan's network but it is on the OPDP network?
You may go to a pharmacy on the OPDP plan and use your discount card. However, you should check with your Medicare Plan if you intend to use a pharmacy not on their list to make sure they will honor the receipt for your prescription as Part D expense.
I'm confused and don't know whether to join Medicare Part D or not, what should I do?
You can call 1-800-Medicare (1-800-633-4227) or your Medicare health plan for questions about your Medicare options. You can also call the Senior Health Insurance Benefit Assistance (SHIBA) program at 1-800-722-4134 for assistance.
I don't want to sign up for Medicare Part D, can I stay on the OPDP?
You may remain an OPDP member and use your card for discounts at OPDP pharmacies. However, you need to know that individuals who are eligible for Medicare Part D who choose not to enroll by May 15, 2006 will have a 1% per month penalty applied to their premium when they do enroll. In other words, if you choose to enroll a year later, your premium will be 12% higher.

It looks great! Glad you decided to try your original idea.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
It looks great! Glad you decided to try your original idea.
Way to go! I love it when people don't listen and figure out how to do it on their own. Something about people telling me something can't be done just makes me want to prove them wrong.

Great idea. Been wanting to try that myself. Very nice job.
Thank you for posting this! I'm ready to try some embroidery with my quilting and this helps a lot!
thanks never though about using fusible backing it has to be alot cheaper than the tear away stabilizer
Sounds like a great idea to use wash away stabilizer . I have not thought of that. Thank you.
Have a Blessed & Prosperous Day !
Nicely done. I am no expert and I really enjoyed the tip. I've tried this before, but mines never came out centered because I did not mark the center and it came to mind to do so. Thanks for the tip.
Great post. It helps to know you are brave enough to just try it! I'm trying to learn, too. Thanks
Depending on what type of machine you have-this sounds like the perfect occasion for "endless embroidery". Some machines have a special hoop and designs that are set up with markings for rehooping so you can continue a border without breaks in the design.

Talking Turkey but where are the eggs?
21/12/2012 , 9:08 AM by Narelle Graham
We have all these turkeys bred up for Christmas dinner, do they lay eggs while they're being fattened up? Where do the eggs go? Why don't we see them in the supermarket?
This morning I asked listeners in the Riverland and Mallee if they've ever eaten a turkey egg (or any slightly unusual egg for that matter).
Rob's text said he'd eaten a turkey leg, and they're quite nice, but not a turkey egg.
Joe knows a guy who felt unwell after eating a duck egg.
Deep Yolk called to say turkey eggs make great pavlovas.
Luke's eaten a quail egg but it didn't go far, more "fun-sized".
Anon said they'd eaten a freshwater crocodile egg - holy cow!
Join me on an investigation by playing the audio :-)

Sebastian Vettel maintained his total domination of practice at the United States Grand Prix on Saturday morning when he topped the times for Red Bull for a third successive session ahead of Sunday's showdown, his 100th race in Formula One.
The 25-year-old German, who needs to outscore nearest rival Fernando Alonso of Ferrari by 15 points to become the youngest triple champion in F1 history, clocked a fastest lap in one minute and 36.490 seconds to emerge fastest.
That was enough to leave him nearly three-tenths of a second clear of nearest challenger Lewis Hamilton who, in his penultimate race weekend with McLaren before joining Mercedes next year, recorded a best time of 1:36.748.
Both men clocked their times in a busy final flurry of activity in the final minutes of the hour-long session run in cold conditions, but in front of a big crowd dressed in winter jackets, at the new Circuit of the Americas 25 kilometres out of downtown Austin. Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado was third fastest for Williams.

Movies, books, and songs to capture the essence of Mumbai and get you in the mood for travel
Salaam Bombay! (1988)
Directed by Mira Nair, this brilliant film depicts the many struggles faced by Mumbai's street children in their daily quest for survival. Nair admirably captures the dark side of life on the streets while simultaneously reflecting the children's remarkable tenacity and aspirations.
Chandni Bar (2001)
The harrowing story of Mumtaz, a young woman who reluctantly takes a job as a dancer in a sleazy Mumbai bar. The film gives a realistic glimpse into the lives of women who are driven into prostitution, often under pressure from family members.
Joggers' Park (2003)
Largely set in Mumbai's leafy "Joggers' Park," a light-hearted and unconventional tale about a recently retired, very highly respected (married) judge who falls in love with a vivacious single woman young enough to be his daughter.
Bluffmaster! (2005)
Roy, an expert con artist in Mumbai, takes immense pride in being a slick-talking, swift-thinking "bluffmaster." But the cheeky trickster's life takes a dramatic turn when the woman of his dreams dumps him and he is later diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Traffic Signal (2007)
Inspired by the true lives of those who eke out a living from people in vehicles stopped at Mumbai's traffic lights, this movie proffers a thought-provoking window into the tumultuous and complex world of the city's fringe dwellers, from beggars to prostitutes.
A Fine Balance, by Rohinton Mistry (1995)
This outstanding work of fiction is set in an unnamed Indian city by the sea during the tumultuous mid-1970s, at a time when the Indian government has sharply curtailed civil liberties. The book tells the poignant and dramatic story of four strangers who are thrown together by fate during an unusually precarious period.
Shantaram, by Gregory David Roberts (2003)
Based on the author's life, this gripping book is predominantly set in Mumbai, proffering a particularly unique window into the city's complex underbelly. Roberts, a convicted bank robber, escaped from an Australian prison and fled to India, where he lived for many years as a fugitive.
Maximum City: Bombay Lost & Found, by Suketu Mehta (2004)
Maximum City takes the reader deep beneath the dizzying surface of India's fastest-paced metropolis, Mumbai. It candidly shares the stories of a riveting jumble of Mumbai's inhabitants, from desperate slum-dwellers and gangsters to whimsical Bollywood stars and poets.
Sacred Games, by Vikram Chandra (2007)
Set in modern-day Mumbai, Sacred Games reads like a detective thriller, venturing into the city's deep, dark criminal underworld and beyond. Spies, police, high society figures, beggars, and terrorists all make an appearance in this well-crafted best-seller.
Desert Visions, Prem Joshua
Fusion music—Indian meets Western—that works. Prem Joshua creates fresh repertoires that incorporate the traditional sounds of Indian instruments such as the sitar, tabla, and santoor, with the saxophone, keyboards, and bamboo flute.
Divya Jyoti, Various arists
A beautiful selection of aartis (devotional songs) by respected artists' including the inimitable Rattan Mohan Sharma. Pieces include "Om Jai Jagdeesh Hare," "Jai Ganesh," and "Saraswati Aarti."
Kandisa, Indian Ocean
Indian Ocean, one of India's most innovative bands, creates a heady mix of rock-jazz fusion, using assorted musical styles and instruments, from the tabla (twin drums) to the acoustic guitar.
Midival Punditz, Midival Punditz
This fusion-style band enigmatically mixes traditional Indian instruments and songs with cleverly crafted electronica. The edgy interplay of sounds places this band in a league of its own.
Music of the Deserts, Zakir Hussain
Zakir Hussain dramatically mixes the sounds of nature—from eerie sandstorms to crashing thunder—with rhythmic subcontinental music that hauntingly interweaves Indian instruments such as the sarangi, shehnai, and dholak.
Classic Songs:
Mumbai, the hub of song-and-dance-filled Bollywood, is music-mad. Here are some hits, classic and contemporary, which have made an indelible mark:
1. "Aaj Mera Jee Kardaa" by Sukhwinder Singh
2. "Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna Hai" by Lata Mangeshkar
3. "Chaiyya Chaiyya" by Sukhwinder Singh & Sapna Awasthi

On the weekend I climbed some routes at Paarl:
Little Dutch Boy
Sands of Time
Belly Button...
All the bolts, hangers and nuts are in good condition although some of the nuts are very loose. Some of them were nearly completely unscrewed to the point of falling off the bolts... but don't worry i tighted then again with my awsome crimp strength
Jokes aside, they need to be re-torqued. I would be happy to take on the job.... but I am not sure what to set the torque wrench to???
Has anyone considered using 'locktight' when attaching hangers???
Loose Nuts, Paarl
Let everyone know about any suspect/dodgy/misplaced bolts to be renewed or avoided.

Thanks for the tips, we are heading out as soon as the weather clears, I will do the Sands bolts if you are willing to do Little Dutch Boya nd Belly Button. There have also been some access issues lately concerning the shiny new bolts. if you would like a crappy job then maybe you could help out bu spray painting the bolts on Belly Button. We are in the process of doing all our routes (Stewart and Scott Noy). take along a cloth to protect the rock.

Will try head out on Saturday and Sunday, but its is raining on Friday. All depends on whether or not this runny nose gets worse. For those interested, some people (not climbers) have been complaining about some of the new bolts that have been placed and are shining when in the sun. The main problem is the bolts on the Parklife wall, we have plans to spray the bolts but if anyone climbs the routes, think about taking along a can of spray paint and colour the bolts. Access is not threatened yet as we were given some time to colour the bolts but it does need to be done. Just be careful with your can and take precautions to paint the bolts only and not the rock.

Exploring Bayfield in Winter
Last Updated: 5/11/2017
In this post, we put the spotlight on Northern Wisconsin and the picturesque town of Bayfield. In summer, Bayfield is the gateway to renowned sea-kayaking and camping on the Apostle Islands, but the allure doesn't stop in winter. Try one or both of these travel itineraries for a day or weekend full of winter fun:
Itinerary 1: The Lake Superior Ice Caves
Fuel up with a hearty and healthy breakfast at the Bayfield Inn! Once you're fully charged, grab your camera and head to the lakeshores for a breathtaking view. In winter, the waters of Lake Superior crash upon the lakeshore cliffs to form beautiful ice formations. Even better are the sea caves, which once frozen over, make for a dazzling sight. End your day with a stay at the Rittenhouse Inn, a Travel Green certified business. Known for its fabled wraparound veranda, it's only a few blocks from the harbor. Accommodations include fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. Be sure to check out their signature 5-course dinner!
Itinerary 2: Ski Slopes, Steak & Seafood
Gear up for a day of alpine and cross country skiing at Mt. Ashwabay Ski and Recreation Area. It offers 12 runs, 35 km of groomed cross-country ski trails, and tubing and terrain park for those looking to heat up the slopes. You're sure to work up an appetite, so round out your day with dinner at the Northern Edge Sports Bar & Family Dining. Fill up on fresh fish, steaks, seafood, ribs, homemade pizza and more. Catch a game in the bar area on one of the eight televisions or play a game of pool or darts.

text: We had my wife's torrent serviced there repeatedly. The heated seats did not work consistently for 2 years. While trying to fix the seats they removed the bezel around the shifter. Apparently, they broke the clips off of the back. They super glued it back on. It probably would not have been a big deal except that the glue was pouring out of the edges and very noticeable. So, we took it back so they could fix that and the heated seats (for the 5th time!) They still could not figure out what the issue was. There work was like a crappy oil change shop had decided to try to fix my car, everything looked sloppy and horrible. Finally, they hired a new assistant service manager. This guy got our seats fixed, replaced the counsel AND replaced the leather seat skin because they had damaged the seams by removing it and replacing it 8 times (not kidding about 8 times!). For about 2 years I could take the vehicle there and the service department was excellent! Everything fixed the first time. Everything clean and professional looking when the job was completed. Then, around March of 2012 we took the Torrent in for an issue that we had reported previously. The service manager was fired and a new manager hired. The awesome assistant manager was gone also. I assume that he left because they did not make him service manager. (he was running the place anyway). From there the service department went back to it's old ways. I called the dealer when her car had a hard start issue. I was 70 miles away and had 40 miles left in my bumper to bumper warranty. I told them that when I got there I would be over warranty by 30 miles. I could tow it in if they would like. They told me not to worry about 30 miles, it would be covered. When I got there The first thing that the service writer tried to do was sell me a battery for a car 3 years old! Then when I said to test it they said it would be $45. So, I declined. Then they tried to sell me an induction cleaning service. Then they told me that I was 30 miles over warranty so only power train was covered. (Um, I just called and spoke with you, you told me not to worry about the 30 miles) This was all before they even took the car back to check out my issue. They ended up putting a fuel pump in it. I went to pick it up and they apparently forgot to connect a plug. CEL light, no fuel gauge reading. This was right after starting it. They must have not test drove it after the install. It took them another full day to fix the issue. Then I find out that Golling GMC charged GM for a bad connector to cover their cost of dropping the fuel tank again. I went to start it when we picked it up and the same original issue occurred. I went back inside and spoke with the adviser. He stated that they could not duplicate the issue. Then why did they put a pump in?? I was told that any further diagnosis would be at a rate of $93 an hour. My neighbor took their Acadia in for a wheel bearing (under warranty), They changed they wheel bearing and when they neighbor picked it up the CEL was on. He went in and said that it was not on when he dropped it off. The advisor told him that it is probably unrelated issue and he would have to bring it back the next day to get it checked out. Why would a dealer that has a car in with a full bumper to bumper warranty let a vehicle leave with a CEL on? This is the worst run service department I have ever been to. Their sales department is terrible also. My neighbor who works for GM went in to buy a new Sierra (he already bought 2 from them and a Acadia) from Golling GMC He told the sales guy he wanted a sierra. The guy pointed at a Denali and said "there are the denalis) my neighbor told him that he did not want a denali, just a regular sierra. The sales guy pointed to the back of the lot, said "they are back there" and walked away! Needless to say he purchased at another dealer. Their parts department is pretty good. The guy that runs it is knowledgeable and very helpful. I have purchased from them a few times. I did have one issue. I needed some power steering line o-rings. They wanted $7 a piece, but insisted I but in packs of 10. I called a chevy dealer right down the street, they were the same price, but would sell them individually. I would NOT recommend going to Golling GMC. If you are in the area and stuck I would be willing to personally tow you somewhere else rather than subject you and your vehicle to their service department. You would be better of driving 20 miles to another GMC dealer.

To the Editors:
I enjoyed Bradford Harris's column "Evolution's Other Narrative" (Macroscope, November–December), not the least because it mirrored part of a lecture I have been giving to my Introduction to Biology students for the past 20 years, as well as some concepts I explored with my upper-level students in a course on symbiosis and cell evolution that I taught with a colleague. I think Harris's point that American and European evolutionary biologists have not fully explored the role played by cooperation (mutualism) in natural selection, while focusing perhaps too intently on competition, is well taken.
However, I am not sure that the contention that genetic variation emerges primarily through symbiosis can be sustained in the face of the great body of evidence indicating the importance of mutation and recombination. Evidence for the fusion of nuclear genomes remains scarce and seems to be limited mainly to the transfer of some genes from a symbiont to the nucleus of its host, as has obviously happened in the case of mitochondria and also in mutualistic nitrogen-fixing bacteria and some plant pathogens related to them.
I am more skeptical of a "symbiosis-driven history of speciation"—I am not sure what that phrase means. If it is taken to mean that new species arise through symbiosis, I find no examples given in the text of Harris's article, nor is it clear what concept of species and speciation Harris is using. The example of Euplotidium, which seems to be the lynchpin of his argument, is not, at least in terms of the leading concepts of speciation and species, an example of speciation. If one subscribes, as do most biologists, to the Biological Species Concept, a species consists of a population that is reproductively (or genetically) isolated from other such populations. Harris does not demonstrate that such isolation can arise from symbiogenesis, much less that it is responsible for most or even a significant fraction of speciation events.
Regarding natural selection and cooperative evolution as opposites or in conflict with one another sets up a straw man. The theory of natural selection, as originally proposed by Charles Darwin and as it stands today, much modified and augmented, has plenty of room to accommodate cooperation. After all, any inherited character of an organism that confers an advantage will increase the fitness of that organism, be it an ability to compete more effectively or to cooperate.
To effectively react against what has undoubtedly been an unbalanced approach to evolution, we need to take care not to attribute too much to contrary emergent views. Yes, cooperation plays a huge and underappreciated part in evolution, but there can be no question that competition, even if it is between tightly integrated consortia of organisms, is also important.
William A. Shear
Hampden-Sydney College
Hampden Sydney, VA
I enjoyed Bradford Harris's column on evolution and symbiosis. But I was disappointed to see the Victorians' overly individualistic, conflict-based view of evolution blamed on Adam Smith. Smith was more of a moral philosopher than a libertarian economist, and both Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace mention reading Thomas Malthus's influential Essay on Population just before arriving at the idea of natural selection. I would suggest that Malthus (later echoed by Charles Dickens's Scrooge, who suggests that the poor should hurry up and die in order to reduce the "surplus population"), together with Herbert Spencer, are the more important sources for the idea that evolution is all about conflict and competition.
In the end, Malthus was just wrong about humans: birth control (what he called "vice") allows substantial improvements in living conditions without the population explosion that he thought would inevitably follow. But Darwin and Wallace were right about other living things and were not quite so focused on competition as Harris's essay suggests. Darwin wrote, "We behold the face of nature bright with gladness, we often see superabundance of food; we do not see, or we forget, that the birds which are idly singing round us mostly live on insects or seeds, and are thus constantly destroying life; or we forget how largely these songsters, or their eggs, or their nestlings are destroyed by birds and beasts of prey; we do not always bear in mind, that though food may be now superabundant, it is not so at all seasons of each recurring year." Struggle and competition for access to limited resources between members of the same species are implicit here. But cooperative responses to these challenges also naturally come to mind, including flocking to reduce predation and pair bonding to improve nestling survival.
