text: The MXDN is a cool event and one that should be on everyone's bucket list. I've been lucky enough to attend three of these now and one of my greatest regrets was the fact that as a fourteen-year-old kid living in Manitoba chasing the 80cc Schoolboy B championship, I couldn't come up with the $1500 that some company wanted for an all-expenses-paid (with the $1500) trip to the 1987 Unadilla MXDN. I was still $1450 short after I sold some of my comic book collection off. I always think of Rocky IV at this race, where Rocky travels to Russia to fight the unbeatable Ivan Drago. All the odds are against the Rock, but he pulls it out despite taking a beating that would have his ancestors feeling it. Then at the end, a bloodied Rocky has the flag on him and implores everyone to change and start liking each other. I always get goose bumps watching that scene; I'd like to see Stewie do that on the podium, but the problem I have is trying to figure out if America is Rocky the winner or Drago the undefeated monster? The Donington facility is one of those road race tracks where you build the motocross track in the middle that they love doing so much (remember Zolder? Jerez?). The track looked like fun when I walked it on Friday but I could tell there was nothing challenging on it for the riders and I would later see I was right. It had some small elevation changes so what was left to do was put some jumps on it and try to make it good. The riders I spoke to didn't like it for the most part and, like James Stewart said during the AMA Toyota Motocross Championships this summer, a motocross track should not come in at a under two-minute lap time, and this one did for him. It's the problem that motocross all over the world is facing now: Do you go to these historic and gnarly tracks out in the countryside where the facilities aren't the greatest—like most of the AMAs and GPs are—or find nice facilities and build a temporary track around the creature comforts that we all like? The pits were great this weekend, the press room and garages for the teams were very nice and the fans had a great view, but it was at the expense of the quality of the circuit in my opinion, and amateur racing would never happen at a track like that because, like supercross, the track would be gone the next week here in the USA. One version is good for media and pit parking; the other is good for building new riders, maintaining a strong base and giving the OEMs that sell motorcycles a place for people to race those motorcycles. What's the right thing to do? I don't have the answer for that one. I do know that if a facility has more than 35,000 permanent seats here in the States, it's a moot point anyway because, by a contract between the AMA and Live Nation, that is considered a supercross. But once a year for the MXoN? Seems like it would work on a facility that also has the terrain needed to make a real motocross track. We all know what happened by now, if you don't and you're just now reading me telling you that USA won, well then you need to get out of mom's basement more often. Team USA won for the 19th time in 25 appearances since 1981—they lost in Switzerland ('94), Slovakia ('95), Belgium ('97), England ('98), Brazil ('99) and Belgium ('03)—and even though it was an expected result, it was by no means easy. The fastest man in the world right now, James Stewart, didn't win. There aren't too many things in the world that are sure things, other than death, taxes, the fact that movies with killer ants, groundhogs and monkeys will suck, and that James will win any race he lines up in, anywhere in the world, now that Ricky Carmichael is racing stock cars. At least that's what I thought until James threw it away all by himself with four laps left in the last moto when he cross-rutted and landed on a haybale, picked up his bike quick enough, but then that pesky four-strokes-are-hard-to-start-when-hot thingy reared its ugly head. Even after a guy held his bike up for him and let him wail away on the kickstarter, the mighty KX450F would not start for quite a while. So, while he crushed them in the first moto, he didn't end up winning his class. Ryan Villopoto certainly would've swept his MX2 class if he hadn't crashed in his first moto. He said later that France's Sebastien Pourcel cleaned him out but I didn't see it. He came from a long ways back to finish right behind England's fast and friendly Tommy Searle in the moto. Second time out he grabbed the lead on the first lap from New Zealand's Cody Cooper and won the combined moto, just like he did last year. I don't think this track was as much of a disadvantage for the 250F as Budds Creek was last year but it was still an impressive performance. It was Ryan's farewell ride on the 250F and for Pro Circuit and he was "right proper," as the English like to say. Tim Ferry and I are buddies. We all know this right? I wrenched for him for five years and we text each other or speak on the phone once or twice a week (when he answers, anyway). I'm a huge fan and think the world of the guy; I can also tell how he's riding almost from the first lap of the race, I've watched the dude put in a million laps at tracks all over the world and know his tendencies and habits, on and off the track. All that being said, I have to say that although I've seen him go much faster many times, I don't know if there's ever been a time when I've been more impressed with his riding than this weekend. He took chicken-shit and made chicken salad out of his day. (I should clarify that I'm only talking about his second moto here, as during the first moto I was trying to scratch my "Ferry" tramp stamp tattoo off as he struggled and I was telling people that I didn't even really know the guy anymore. ) He had a clutch perch problem in the first go around which hindered him but he also just didn't ride well. His second moto, on the other hand, was the stuff of legend. He got a horrible start, even by Tim Ferry standards, it was horrible. I guess he came out okay but got pushed off the track or something. As usual, I look for him first when I'm watching a race and I'm not kidding when I say that by the third turn, the only guy behind him was Canada's Dusty Klatt. If you looked up what were the top 10 most horrific things for Steve Matthes to see in his life, seeing Ferry and Canada last and second-to-last at the MXDN would be top five (right behind the Ottawa Senators winning the Stanley Cup.) I had just finishing making a noose out of my shoelaces when a funny thing happened: Red Dog started getting into his groove! He fought hard and was just slowly getting by guys left and right. He's not like James, who is going Mach 5 around dudes; Ferry has to work at it and he was working it hard. The track was kind of muddy and he had a clump of mud on the side of his helmet that probably weighed the same as a small Ethiopian child. He was getting roosted so bad in some spots but just kept chugging and made it all the way to fifth by the finish. This track was not easy to pass on and he was digging deep when he clearly didn't have his best stuff. It was a gutsy ride by a guy that some people didn't want on the team. There, I'll shut up now. There's some guy on U-Tag Yamaha that people are saying used to race in America. He's got "Osborne" on the back of his jersey and bears a striking resemblance to that guy that struggled bad on KTM and YOT—a guy named Zach Osborne—but it can't be him. I refuse to believe it's the same guy, it's not possible and I want an investigation into alien abductions and what happens when people return from them. The rider formally known as Zach Osborne in America was absolutely amazing this weekend. He came from wayyyy back in his first moto to finish a charging sixth, passing Ferry, Cody Cooper, Steve Ramon and Michael Byrne. He crashed hard in the second moto and got 24th. This was after his qualifying race when he came from the back to get second behind Cooper. He was scrubbing so hard off the finish line that even Ozzy Osbourne would have been proud. Speaking of scrubbing, I noticed that the Euros have been practicing it. Man, what a difference in their riding since I first started coming over to Europe in 1999. Most of the guys look like Stewie out there, working the bike and soaking up the jumps. It was impressive because there wasn't much difference between our guys and them. They all used to look like a bunch "Barry Carstens" in the words of Scott goggles' John Knowles. France almost won the whole damm thing this weekend. Had it not been for MX2 rider Anthony "pass the" Boissiere getting a flat in his moto and pulling out. They might've won because he was in fourth at the time and looking good. That guy impressed me this weekend for sure, I'd never really heard of him before. Their MX1 rider Sebastien Pourcel won the MX1 class after Stewie's misfortune and even challenged James in the moto early in the morning, actually passing the American champ at one point—which hasn't happened for a long time. He definitely got tired later in the moto, which answered my question of "Why doesn't this dude win the GPs?" because I'm guessing he's not a factor in the sand and rough tracks. Like I said earlier I've been going over the ocean for some time now (I think this trip was my 10th or so, with a six month stint of living-in-hell also in there (hell being Germany in the winter) and there are just some things that need to be answered. Why are all the hotel beds hard as a rock? Why are they all a single? Why are they placed so close together? My room in London on Sunday night had the beds so close together that had I had someone next to me, I could've reached out and put my arm around them. That's not cool. Also, why do the sinks in England have separate hot and cold taps in the sink? I like my water warm to wash my face, not ice cold or scalding hot. Why is everything closed at 6 p.m.? Why do they barely speak English? Okay, kidding there. The driving on the other side of the road thing is weird also, I never got used to it in my four days of being over there either. I thought we were going to die a few times when I saw headlights coming towards us. However, the round-abouts are sweet and for sure save time. The English riders were pretty good. Tommy "Gun" Searle was quick and it was funny because in almost every practice or race, he was in front or chasing his GP rival and World Champion Tyla Rattray. Home field advantage maybe? They cannot get away from each other, it seemed. Anyways, the guys also had a pair of Scots in Billy Mackenzie and Shaun Simpson who gallantly raced the MX3 class on his 250F. Mackenzie in particular was fast and looked like he was a pin-it-and-hope-for-the-best kind of rider. Those types of riders usually are good for a crash or three and Billy didn't disappoint. In fact, it was a fall late in the race by Billy Mac that cost the team the final podium spot. I asked a Brit if it was weird or if anyone didn't like have a Scottish guys riding for England but he looked at me like I was nuts. Rattray crashed out of the second moto and pulled in behind RV when he was getting lapped and stayed with him the rest of the race, and I was thinking that might piss off Ryan but he said in the press conference that he didn't care. (Tony Cairoli kind of did the same thing last year when he had to stop in the pits because his front wheel was damaged. ) The support was there for the English lads and the air horns and chainsaws were in full effect whenever one of the guys came by. The announcers were funny also, they just seemed like two of your cool uncles that used to come over and drink all your parents booze and then stumble out of the house, the whole time talking about things that they did when they were young that you wished you could do. One of them promised to come over and drink with the Belgians later and the other guy kept saying things like "right proper" and "magic" as in, "Simpson is just magic right now." Right proper they are! Josh Coppins is one of the coolest guys in motocross, period. The Kiwi is always friendly and will take the time to talk to you and always has an informed, honest opinion on anything you ask him. Josh and I spoke a few times this weekend and I asked him to do another podcast with me, which he agreed to and also asked if he had to pay for the call this time. (Sorry about that!) I grilled him on the GPs and the Youthstream 2009 plans that were announced a while back. He admitted that it was good for him now, but not good for the privateers which he was many years ago. Just a great guy and maybe we'll see him over here for a try at the AMA outdoors before he hangs it up. Coppins' team did pretty good. They were missing Ben Townley and Darryl Hurley but recruited Scott Columb for the MX2 class. He was running okay before suffering a bad crash off the finish line tabletop in his last moto. Coppins was strong all weekend as was Cody Cooper in the MX3 class. Cody was second in his first moto for a long time before crashing. This was The Kiwi Warrior's last ride on the Suzuki before switching to the Yamaha at JGR Racing. I was at Starbucks and ordered my usual coffee when the dude was asking me something and the only word I could pick up on was "skinny." He kept asking me if I was the skinny one and of course, that's not something people usually say about me. So I said no. Then my coffee just sat there and I was the only guy waiting. Turns out it was my coffee and the English call anything non-fat "skinny." Who knew? Last year at Budds Creek I was impressed with Tanel Leok, I knew he was a good GP rider and all that but he was fast again this weekend. In the last MX1/MX3 moto he just slowly chugged along and was all over the leader Pourcel with one lap to go. With only a few turns left he kind of banzaied it into the side of Seb and fell down. He didn't do that well in his other moto but was up there for a while. His teammates were Juss Laanssoo and Gert Krestinov, the guy that won a GP earlier this year going 8-1. Team Canada, my home country, just didn't have it this weekend. There are lots of times in the past that they didn't send the best three riders or other times they did but had to borrow bikes or whatever. This year they sent the three best riders (Dusty Klatt, Tyler Medaglia and Colton Facciotti) and shipped the race bikes over so we were looking good in my mind (despite Mitch Payton reminding me many times that we should've sent Tucker Hibbert; I keep telling him that Hibbert is not Canadian and he responds, "But he rides snowmobiles.") Klatt looked great in his qualifier on Saturday; he did a RIDICULOUS scrub on the first lap over the finish line, and was holding second until stalling. I should've known it wasn't going to be good weekend when he was the only reason Canada made the "A" main. On Sunday crashes, poor riding contributed to a 13th place finish and once again, Klatt looked the best but crashed out one moto. Oh well, like the Toronto Maple Leafs, next year will be our year! Brazil once again won the "B" main on Sunday morning to make it the big show. They did the same thing last year. Led by AMA rider Antonio "Jorge" Balbi, the guys finished 14th overall on the day and just like last year, the team was very happy and documenting the whole thing. I spoke with Antonio a bit and he told me that he needs a ride still yet for next year, so any team managers are reading this, get on it! Team Australia should've done better. They seemed like they should've had a podium spot locked up with the star studded line up of Chad Reed, Michael Byrne and Brett Metcalfe. None of their guys looked that great… Well, Metty looked pretty good in his first moto until he crashed. Reedy disappointed me and probably everyone else, as I really thought he'd do better. I suppose he just doesn't have enough time on the bike yet, but I still would've thought Chad Reed off the couch would still have done better—he was last year! Byrner crashed out of the second moto late in race 3 but was pretty far back when it happened. I also spoke to some Pro Circuit guys and they are not very pumped on the Metcalfe move to GEICO Powersports Honda next year. Their side is that Brett verbally agreed to a deal and then backed out. But when PC snatched FC find Jake Weimer, all bets (and verbal agreements) between the two teams were probably off. This should be an interesting thing to watch next year as PC does give FC some parts for the Honda, wonder if they will give FC a rag and tell them to put it in Metty's airbox "for performance gains." Something I heard from sources on that side of the world is that James is looking to do a GP or two next year in Europe along with some AMA Motocross races, the X Games, and some assorted SXs around the world. That would be cool to see I think. Also, it seems that Joe Gibbs Yamaha has selected FMF for their team bikes exhausts, and still looking for a gear deal. It was supposed to be Answer a while back but with James' signing, that is off the table. I bet you see them in Fox Racing because that was almost a deal last year but Fox backed out when they signed Josh Hansen. Speaking of Hanny, I heard from somebody that would know that Hanny was up to his old tricks in Italy at a SX over there. When he finally learns to grow up and focus on his racing, it's going to be too late. That's all I got, thanks for reading and if you're an industry person reading this and want to contribute something for Blair Morgan, email me at email@example.com (I will not accept any ticking packages from a J Hansen) and if there is something you'd like to comment on email me at or just click on the comment box below.

Mayo Clinic Arizona, Phoenix, AZ
Computed tomography (CT) enables the diagnosis of usual interstitial pneumonitis (UIP) in advanced cases. The presence of honeycombing, predominantly in the costophrenic angles, is typically required for confident diagnosis. We describe the imaging findings in patients with biopsy-proven UIP in whom CT did not allow confident specific diagnosis.
We retrospectively reviewed open lung biospy reports at our institution over a three year period for confident daignoses of UIP. Patients who had at least one CT examination within 60 days of the biopsy were included(n=25).
Several CT patterns occurred. Fine reticular peripheral fibrosis, predominantly in the lower lobes, with traction bronchiectasis and lobular distortion but no honeycombing, was the most common appearance (n=18). Ground glass attenuation, present in 23 patients, was usually confined to areas of fibrosis but was diffuse in 5 patients. Homogeneous fibrosis with minimal distortion involving primarily or exclusively the bases occurred in 3 patients. Two patients had minimal subtle reticular densities with bronchiolar dilatation.
Our patients referred for lung biospy and proven to have UIP several common CT patterns. Most commonly, a peripheral, retiular pattern with a hetrogenous appearance and lower lobe predominance was noted (Figure 1. A pattern of more extensive ground glass attenuation involving both lungs with mild distortion, similar to that observed in cases of diffuse alveolar damage, was noted in a few cases and likely represents the acute phase of UIP (Hamman-Rich syndrome). The third pattern was a uniform and homogeneous mild fibrosis involving the lower lobes with an appearance similar to that of the nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis (NSIP) pattern. Two patients had minimal CT findings only in the lower lobes.
A CT pattern of peripheral, heterogeneous fibrosis with traction bronchiolectasis, a lower lobe predominance, and with upper lobe involvement may allow confident diagnosis of UIP in the absence of honeycombing. There is a subset of patients in whom distinction between NSIP and UIP remains problematic.

Would buy again
It is a little less fluffy than expected, but plenty warm enough with our house temp set at 70 degrees. The filling is a little uneven, but not enough to be seen while it is on the bed, and there are not cold spots while sleeping under it. The comforter arrived VERY wrinkled, even more than just the pleating, but the extra wrinkles relaxed enough to not be too noticeable. All the seams are sewn tightly. I bought a king size comforter for a queen size bed and it hangs off the bed and looks about like the photo above.

It's hard work doing the hokey-cokey. Putting in and taking out limbs is easy enough. But inserting and retracting your whole self is arduous, especially when carrying a 10kg child. And shaking it all about is pretty much impossible. As well as uncovering the rust on my disused hokey-cokey skills, I learned I am inept at handling bobbins. I sat in a circle of 40 mothers and their children, who had obviously wound and unwound more than me recently, and copied their actions. But I was always a second behind the group. It was just enough time for self-consciousness to sneak in with a reminder that, while always aware of their use in the musical edification of children, I have never known what a 'bobbin' actually is.
Before the bobbin I'd been very much in the zone. I had surprised myself by remembering the words to 'One Finger One Thumb'. I'd adroitly co-ordinated voice and hands to depict Incey Wincey spider's battle against the elements. I'd bypassed the mental circuitry of cynicism that usually prevents me from happily clapping in church halls.
It would have been easier if I could have convinced myself that the whole thing was for my daughter's benefit. I would perform a solo rendition of 'Nellie the Elephant' to an audience of bitter, aggressively drunk, recently laid off circus-animal trainers if I thought it would increase by the tiniest fraction the likelihood of my child growing up with a love of music. But I knew that attendance at our local sing-a-long was for my benefit. The session would devour an hour of empty morning. It would also wear my daughter out, ensuring she'd then sleep long enough for me to address a festering childcare-induced personal hygiene crisis.
Also catching cynical trip-wires in my head was the literature that advertised the event as a 'class', that ran in 'terms'. If it had been a 'club' or a 'group' I could have embraced it as leisure, or possibly a kind of therapy. But class suggested measurable progress, which always travels with its mistress competition. The whole thing risked letting grubby microbes of peer comparison through the hermetic seal of ignorance I keep around the assumption my daughter is unusually gifted.
As it turned out, class was the right word, not because the children were being judged but because the room stank of junior school nostalgia. It was wafting up from the parquet floor. There were the songs, of course, but also the disruptive chatter prompting those weak admonitions you used to get in art lessons, when the teacher knew you knew there wasn't going to be an exam at the end of term, and so had no incentive to pay attention.
There was also naughty giggling. At least there was from me. I lost it during the hokey-cokey. For the chorus everyone ran forward swinging their children out towards the centre of the circle. It felt cultish, like the preliminary dances of a ritual human sacrifice. A macabre vision inserted itself in my head: what would happen if someone got carried away and just let go? Or if we all did? Imagine everyone hurling their children into the air, a beautiful moment of synchronised flight, defiance of gravity, slowing down of time. And then the landing. Pile-up. Pause for shock to take hold. Stillness as each parent sharply took in breath, sucking noise out of the air. The unworldly howl of mass betrayal. It was so implausibly grotesque that I laughed. Then I felt bad for laughing, and a bit worried people might think it was nervous embarrassment about doing the hokey-cokey in a room full of women. It wasn't. So I explained to my neighbour in the circle I had giggled only because of a darkly comic vision of everyone getting so hysterically hokey-cokeyed up they threw their children across the room. She smiled at me the way people smile at exuberant dogs that bound up to them in parks - 40 per cent indulgence, 60 per cent fear. Then she hastily turned to talk to someone else. It was time to go home.
I loaded up our pushchair and knew immediately I'd be back the following week. Not to erase my hokey-cokey shame, but because my daughter was breathless with excitement. She grinned and, without bending her elbows, jabbed one padded palm inexpertly towards the other - happy, knowing it and clapping her hands.

Alt-country fans were fed up with the lack of Ryan Adams output over the last few years. Besides a questionable "metal" album in 2010 called Orion and an outtakes record called III/IV, the last real thing the checker-plaid troubadour released was 2008's Cardinology. That album had a few memorable moments, but it mostly felt like the singer-songwriter was running on fumes. And maybe he was. Since then, he's settled down in the quiet hills of Los Angeles with actress/pop singer Mandy Moore and remained relatively quiet, until now. Today Adams released a new single, titled "Lucky Now," alongside news that his new record Ashes & Fire is on the horizon. The song begins with just him and an acoustic, reminiscent of those early Heartbreaker days, or those sparse moments on Love is Hell. From there it quickly evolves into a mid-tempo country ballad, with a complimentary piano line and some subtle electric guitar.
A constant source of frustration for Adams' fans is that he's more than willing to release a wealth of material out into the public. But that material was either jokey side project-type stuff that felt like drunken mistakes, or actual studio recordings that lacked the lyrical depth of his early work. As luck would have it, "Lucky Now" feels like vintage Adams: forlorn, romantic, twangy and sentimental. But most of all, it feels like he's back to the simplicity that lined his early post-Whiskeytown days.
Ashes & Fire is out October 11 via Pax-Am Recordings.

Kuumbwa Jazz Center
"… an extraordinary revelation of contemporary vocal jazz." – Le Jazz Hot
Vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant has been impressing audiences everywhere with her arrangements of jazz and blues compositions, obscure and familiar. The multi-lingual Salvant, with a background in classical voice technique, also sings in French and Spanish. Her 2009 recording, Cecile, first caught the ear of jazz fans shortly before she won the 2010 Thelonious Monk vocal competition. And Salvant has been winning converts ever since. Wynton Marsalis, Jacky Terrasson, and Archie Shepp are just a few of the top musicians with whom she has sung. The New York Times has said of the rising vocal phenon, "Ms. Salvant has it all: perfect pitch and enunciation… exquisite taste in songs, and a deep connection to lyrics." Her latest CD, WomanChild, is up for a Grammy Award nomination (her first) in the Best Vocal Jazz Album category.
Growing up in Miami, Florida, Cécile was immersed in music: classical piano, choral singing, and private voice lessons. She went to college in France to study law, but also continued to study baroque and classical voice technique. It was during this time that she began to learn about improvisation and moving towards listening and performing jazz with reedman Jean-François Bonnel and his band. In 2009, things began to roll once she released her debut album, Cécile. She followed up by handily winning the Thelonious Monk Institute vocal competition in Washington D.C. Her creative interpretations of old, obscure jazz and blues tunes, as well as her ability to sing fluently in French and Spanish, have captured the attention of the listening public.
In addition to performing and recording with Jean-François Bonnel's band, Salvant has also worked with famed Japanese saxophonist Sadao Watanabe, French jazz pianist Jacky Terrasson, and American avant-garde saxophone legend Archie Schepp. Her talent has taken her to a number of high profile venues and festivals, including New York's Lincoln Jazz Center (with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra – who will be in Santa Cruz on March 8 at the Civic Auditorium) – The Kennedy Center, the Spoleto Jazz Festival, and other international venues.

The grand saga of an American ranching family continues in The Last Ranch, the final, mesmerizing book of New York Times best seller Michael McGarrity's gripping and richly authentic American West trilogy.
When Matthew Kerney returns to his ranch in the beautiful San Andres Mountains after serving in Sicily during World War II, he must not only fight to recover physically and emotionally from a devastating war injury, but he must also battle attempts by the US Army to seize control of his land for expanded weapons testing.
Forced off public grazing lands, banned from gathering his cattle on high mountain pastures, and confronted by military police guarding a high security army post on the northern reaches of the range, Matt finds himself at the center of a heavy-handed government land-grab. The reasons behind this surge of secrecy and control become clear when Matt witnesses the boiling, blinding explosion of the first atom bomb at Trinity Site.
As he struggles with an aging, stove-up father no longer able to carry a heavy load at the ranch, an ex-convict intent on killing him, and a failing relationship with a woman he dearly loves, Matt must draw upon all his mental and physical resources to keep his world-and the people in it - from collapsing.
Following the New York Times best-selling Hard Country and its sequel Backlands, The Last Ranch enthralls with the deeply rich, sometimes heartbreaking Kerney family saga as it steps brilliantly into the mid-20th-century world of the new American West.

Kevin is on the route through college, more love interests,the Vietnam Naum era, politics, Matt separates from the university,and starts his pony business,...Kevin has a pregnant girlfriend that he knows nothing about, and he is now fighting a war 1/2 the world away....stay tuned for the next book
"A Great Series"
If you like the Southwest, or cowboy stories, or family history, or Gerge Guidall, or just great writing and performance this series is a must! Beautifully developed, believable progression of characters, makes you see AND feel the beauty of southern New Mexico. As always Mr. Guidall does a masterful narration. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
"What a series!"
This entire series is excellent. McGarrity is one hell of a writer. The detail of the locations and the surroundings is riveting. This series actually caused me to take several trips to N.M. and see many of the areas that the stories take place in.
George Guidall does his usual excellent job. He makes the stories come alive.
I would highly recommend this series. Start with Hard Country, Backlands, The Last Ranch and then do the Kevin K. police books. I did it a little different but I think the above order would be the best.
Enjoying one good listen after the next!
"So Good! Read to Start the Kevin Kearney Series!"
Wouldn't you know -- I read this McGarrity book about the Kearneys last . . . and in truth it should be read before starting any of the modern-day westerns featuring Kevin Kearney. However, it worked for me as the "after" read so you really can't go wrong. This book provides a concise, engaging tale of the Kearney family, their ranching forefathers and the plethora of man-made and natural events that affected their ability to ranch, find happiness and success. It is a great story made even better by George Guidall's narration. McGarrity's characters are people you'd like to meet and although everyone doesn't find true happiness all the time, it is a realistic, believable story of how ranchers in our western states fare with the interventions of government and Mother Nature. A very enjoyable listen!
"End of an era"
As usual guidall pulls you into the story like an old friend - didn't want it to end
"worth a read"
I'm a big fan of McGarrity's Kevin Kearney mystery series, as good as Sandford, Connelly, and anyone else except that he doesn't write them any more. This is the final in the Kearney family history series, a good read, well narrated, but not as good as the mystery series.
"Excellent series and excellent book"
Excellent book, super bummed last in the series. George guidall is one of my favorite
This is an amazing book. what an awesome trilogy! Michael McGarrity is extremely the best
"Excellent author and as always a terrific narrator"
I am thoroughly impressed with the book. I hope there is more in the series.
"A beautiful story!"
Wonderful story. I love this trilogy especially when narrated by one of the best voices ever!

Afternoon analysis 23.05.2016:
Dollar resumed gains. Hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve supported the US currency. The zloty remained under pressure.
On Monday risk aversion prevailed in the markets. The negative sentiment was reflected by losses in the major European stock markets. The UK market dropped 0.3 percent, the German market declined 0.9 percent and the Italian more than 2 percent. In addition, the US futures declined.
Today's data on the PMI indexes from the eurozone countries showed that the economy may slow down in the coming months (more on the issue in the previous commentary). It was somewhat disappointing as the GDP numbers in the first quarter and the labor market reports all suggested that the economy may accelerate. All in all, the data was not significant for the European Central Bank, thus the euro was unaffected.
Today some positive information regarding Greece was released. The eurozone countries will approve the disbursement of 11 billion euros if the reform review is accepted (according to Bloomberg). During the weekend the Greek parliament voted for additional austerity measures to pave the way for additional support. However, this factor did not support the euro.
Stronger dollar
Last week there has been a significant move in the market expectations for interest rates in the US. Currently, the probability the Fed will raise interest rates in the summer is relatively high. Probability estimated on the basis of futures market was 28 percent for June hike. It was as high as 54 percent in the case of July Fed's meeting.
The tightening scenario has been confirmed by today's comments from important Fed officials. San Francisco Fed President John Williams said one can expect two or three hikes this year (source: Reuters). And St. Louis Fed President James Bullard added the situation in the labor market is strong enough to expect an inflation rebound (source: Reuters). The comment increased the probability of hikes in the summer.
The factor that may negatively affect the broad market was the uncertainty around the EU referendum in the UK. Although the latest polls suggested that opponents of Brexit gained wider lead (more in the previous commentary).
Weak zloty
On Monday the zloty exceeded losses. The Polish currency declined against all its major pairs. The EUR/PLN increased close 4.45 zlotys, the highest level since the end of January. The dollar increased near 3.97 zlotys - the highest level since March.
The outlook for the Fed raising rates has increased the pressure on the emerging market currencies. In the case of zloty, the additional negative factor are domestic issues. Given the situation, the probability of a stronger zloty is limited.

I waited 10 months in Wayne County to get mine. I contacted the county clerks office, got nowhere didn't know what to do, so I went onto the Wayne County Sherriff's website and contacted their public relations office. I got a phone call within 48 hours from the Sherriff's office telling me that my fingerprints were lost!!! Had to go back down get re-fingerprinted and within 30 days I was notified to go and recieve my permit. There were only 4 people assigned to CCW's in all of Wayne county. Lawsuits had to be filed so we could have more timely passage good luck.Originally Posted by Sailor87

If you plant to visit Washington go for it, otherwise don't bother. I have Florida, Utah, PA, NH, CT, MN. Why, I am a Utah certified instructor, I have busniess in PA and CT from time to time so thought it best to get theirs rather than count on a nonresident from another state. I forget why I got NH but I remember it was cheap so why not? I live in Minnesota and teach classes for their permit.Originally Posted by Yankees98a

I have an Idaho license, but my parents are in Oregon. Idaho license not good in Oregon, so want to get Oregon permit which is good in Idaho but not in Wyoming, which my Idaho license is. So it all depends on where you go.

I have a MI and FL. I got the FL permit when I lived in WI. With the FL permit I add NM and my MI permit gives me SC where the FL doesn't. I don't know if I will renew my FL permit, I don't travel as much as I though I would.

Probably the only home based FFL that doesn't do transfers.
I have two, PA and VA. PA is where my home town is and Northern VA is where I now live. Maryland is a problem for me because I frequently go home to visit family in PA. I just put my handgun in my luggage, unloaded, ammo in a seperate bag. When I cross into PA I'll stop someware and loadup. I usually never have a reason to stop in Maryland other than a bathroom break.

My resident FL permit covers me nearly 100% throughout the south and that's all I care about. When I was in college at the University of Alabama, I had a permit that was perhaps the easiest to get I've ever seen: Went over to the sheriff's dept in my little ROTC uniform, the sheriff came into the parking lot and looked me over and said, "You look okay to me!" and so I paid my $5 or $10 and got it on the spot. It was nearly as easy in the early 1980's in Washington State where I was stationed. Back then we could (and did) carry on post, in bars, wherever we wanted!

Currently just my resident TN permit. It's good in all the adjoining states so that covers 90% of any travelling I do. At some point I might look into the FL non-res. permit but TN & FLA already have reciprocity so I'm in no hurry.
Right now I'm focused on getting my C&R license and there's only so many expiration dates I can keep track of: DL, Permit, C&R ... I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday (or if I even ate!).
I can't get to packing.org right now, "Server Busy." And the NRA web site omits some info.
Florida does have reciprocity with a number of states, but looking at the state's web site, it seems that FL does not recognize any other state's non-resident permits.
I've posted a question about that in another thread, but before filing for a non-resident permit from another state, you might want to check with the state you need to carry in and see if they recognize other state's non-resident permits, or just other state's resident permits.
Hate to see anyone shell out the bucks and find out they only added one state to their "list," instead of the numbers they were looking for.
Political Correctness has now "evolved" into Political Cowardice.
Arizona and Florida. I got the first one as a lark (I was living in Illinois and got an AZ permit while on vacation). The second one I got when I moved to FL permanently.

Of itself, the spending package agreed on Wednesday evening by White House and Congressional negotiators and which President Bill Clinton will sign as soon as the Senate and House of Representatives have given their approval, does not tackle the root cause of the perennial United States budget deficit - the self-enlarging, seemingly unstoppable "entitlement" programmes of Medicare, Medicaid and welfare.
But a succession of scaled back, stopgap bills since the original missed deadline of 1 October 1995, has perforce reduced the deficit, which is expected to drop to around $140bn (pounds 93bn) this year. That figure, the lowest since 1982, represents barely 2 per cent of Gross Domestic Product, by international standards an eminently respectable performance for which both parties were claiming victory.
For John Kasich, the Republican chairman of the House budget committee and often mentioned as a possible vice-presidential running mate for Senator Bob Dole this autumn, the deal saved $30bn of spending and "should be celebrated as the biggest downsizing of Washington since World War Two". But the White House could not hide its own satisfaction, insisting that it had fended off truly draconian cuts sought by Republicans and scored major victories on environmental and social programmes.
In purely political terms, the undisputed winner of the budget battle of 1996 has been Mr Clinton, who positioned himself throughout as a rampart of reason and moderation against the "extremist" Congress of Speaker Newt Gingrich (and by extension Mr Dole). The government shutdowns in particular rebounded against the Republicans, reminding ordinary Americans that the "Big Government" they were supposed to despise actually rendered many valuable, even indispensable services.
But if one battle is settled, others are about to open. First and foremost are negotiations for a 1997 budget, due to be completed in just five months' time, but which as the election draws closer may well prove even more gruelling than those belatedly completed this week.
Hence the fresh talk of a balanced budget deal. The notion began almost in jest, a challenge casually thrown down by Mr Dole for one-on-one discussions between himself and the President. But the White House instantly accepted, leaving Mr Dole to ponder his next move.
The calculation is delicate. Both sides are committed to balancing the budget by 2002, and the plans they have proposed are not that different. Mr Dole's problem is that to strike an agreement would allow the President to claim a victory. But it would also show that he can live up to his constant campaign promise of being a man who "gets things done". And as he trails Mr Clinton by 15 points in the polls and mutiny starts to rumble in Republican ranks, few gambles can do much harm.
