That is a really nice job. I was actually talking with a friend the other day about having my 1560 quarto facsimile rebound. This may just push me over the edge! Beautiful job.
Poor Man's Geneva Bible – Rebound by Leonard's Book Restoration
A few months back, I received an e-mail from California Dave asking some questions about the Geneva Bible. He was on a quest, and the end result is a magnificently rebound facsimile edition. The starting point was a Hendrikson's reprint of the 1560 edition, which went to Leonard's Book Restoration for star treatment. The results are pretty stunning. So let's let Dave tell the story — accompanied by photos. There's even a contribution from Eric Haley, who did the work at Leonard's, explaining the process. Dave's text is in red, and Eric in blue. Enjoy!
This past Thanksgiving (November 2008) I'd decided to do something a little different at our traditional family get together and so I researched the story of the Pilgrims, emphasizing their faith and why they came over to the New World. Summarizing the Pilgrim's story with my family was such a big hit that I've been asked to do it every year from now on. It was during my research of the story that I'd realized several of the Pilgrims were using the Geneva Bible as their personal Bible. Given the historical significance of the Geneva Study Bible, I wanted to acquire a good condition original Geneva Bible and looked far and wide into prices. The prices I found for a good quality were typically in the thousands of dollars, with nice quality editions often running into $20k and up. I realized I needed a more cost effective and justifiable approach to acquire a copy.
This is when I learned of two readily available facsimile versions. One is the 1560 version, published by Hendrickson. The other is the 1599 version published by Tolle Press. Mark has previously posted reviews on the Tolle Press 1599 version. Tolle Press essentially has two types of the 1599 version. One is a facsimile copy of the original 1599 version, while the other is a modernized typeset with a more modernized translation from the original facsimile copy (sans wood cut pictures, etc.). I believe Mark's prior review covered the updated version. I personally wanted a copy that was as close to the original as possible, including the study notes and wonderful woodcut pictures. As far as content is concerned, it appears the primary difference between the 1560 and 1599 versions relate to some study notes in Revelation being updated by different contributers in the 1599 version. I was more interested in the historical significance of the 1560 version than I was the updates to the Revelation study notes. Both Hendrickson and Tolle Press offer a leather bound version of their facsimile copy, but based on reviews I'd read I was not particularly impressed with any of them. Besides, I wanted a binding that looked as period specific as possible.
Iyov has previously posted an outstanding multi-part review of the Hendrickson 1560 version and I highly recommend it be read by anyone having an interest in the Geneva Bible. Iyov recommended the hardcover copy over the leather version because the paper quality was superior in the hardback version. Having had the opportunity to physically inspect both versions myself at our local Bible store, Iyov was dead on right. The hardback version has a high quality sewn binding, and the paper is thicker with an opaque (almost baize) color. The leather version uses paper having onion skin qualities that I don't particularly care for and was not used in the 1500s. Through an email exchange with Mark, I'd discussed my findings and was considering making life simple by ordering the Renaissance Bible (1599 version) with the cool buckle and shedding liners that Mark has previously posted. Given the cost of that Renaissance Bible, Mark suggested I pick up a hardback copy and have it rebound in a nice goatskin. Mark, of course, was telling me exactly what I wanted to hear. Given my desire to have a Geneva Bible that looked as period specific as possible, I asked Mark for some suggestions on rebinding shops that could handle this type of project. I should also add here that I've never had a Bible rebound before, so it was somewhat of a foreign affair for me. Mark suggested Eric of Leonard's Books Restoration. I gave Eric a call, and after about an hour or more of talking together on the phone, I knew Eric was the right rebinder for me on this project. So I ordered the Hendrickson 1560 version in hardback through Amazon and had it directly shipped to Leonard's shop.
Before Eric and I could finalize my order, I had to be able to adequately explain what it was I wanted. After scouring the web for information, I soon realized original bindings on Bibles dated in the 1500s were for the most part nonexistent. All of the investment grade Geneva Bibles I could find were rebound, with most rebindings being done well within the past century. So I studied pics of investment grade Geneva Bibles that were listed at various auction houses, etc., and compiled several pics of bindings having qualities most appealing to me. I forwarded these pics to Eric, and they proved to be very helpful in clarifying the qualities/characteristics that I wanted. I don't know how I could have otherwise done this by just talking with Eric over the phone sans any pictures to illustrate what I was trying to communicate to him. Fortunately, Eric happens to be a real treasure in the rebinding industry because he has a passion for the period specific bindings and knows a great deal about what bindings consisted of in the earlier periods.
For my Poor Man's Geneva Bible project, I wanted it to be as period specific as possible, but still have a few modernized attributes which were important for me. I wanted raised bands, the curved look on the spine was critical, a simple design pattern, and labeling on the spine consistent with what printers would have done for the 1560 version at that period in time. Modern characteristics included three matching ribbons, and of course a top quality highland goatskin cover. (Note: My choice of ribbon colors was prior to Allan's release of the ESV with three ribbons of different color. In hindsight, I'd rather have gone with three different complimentary ribbon colors). I wanted the goatskin cover to have an antiqued mottled finish for period specific character. I know Bibles in the 1500s didn't get printed with highland goatskin and "liquidy limp" covers, so I compromised and had Eric pull the goatskin over the existing hardback covers. The hardback facsimile version is a Study Bible, plus it uses thicker paper, so it's a very thick Bible (thicker than the hardback version of the ESV Study Bible, as a comparison) that would be better served with a stiff cover. Having now covered the primary qualities I was looking for, I gave Eric creative license on ideas for some other characteristics. In hindsight, it was a great decision to trust Eric with some of his ideas. For example, the color and texture of paper used for the inside pages was his idea. The color and type of headbands, and the border design on the front and back cover were all at his discretion in that I never saw an example of what he had in mind until I saw it on my completed project.
I'd mentioned to Eric that I wanted to post a write up of my completed Geneva Bible project on Mark's website after I saw the finished product and so I asked Eric to forward me some comments specific to this rebind project. Below are his comments that I hope you find interesting and informative.
I've done several original 16th century Bibles over the past several years, but this is the first attempt at rebinding a new reprint of an old Bible, and turning it into something with a 16th century look. In the past I've used calfskin to replicate the old bindings; in this case, we used goatskin at the owner's request because of his desire for more pronounced grain than natural calfskin offers.
The first challenge was to take this rather blockish Hendrickson Geneva 1560 Bible reprint and re-form the spine into a pronounced curve. This required removing all of the glue, which being new, was no easy task. We managed to get a good curve without breaking the sewing and then put on several layers of paper and glue to keep it in that position and build up the spine edge to better fit the boards. We applied multi-colored headbands and ribbon markers and laid down a good quality mull.
The leather we used was a natural wild grain goatskin, on which we applied a mixture of dark brown and mahogany oil dyes and stains, to create the aged look. The simple border design and raised bands, wrapping around the edges of the books gave an elegant yet simple look, appropriate for a Bible of this period. Any Puritan would feel comfortable having it in his possession.
The title label was made with sheepskin dyed red-burgundy and is darker than the pictures show. The imprinting was done using copper instead of gold, again to keep the lettering subdued and giving it a more aged appearance. In keeping with the practices of rare collections folks, we have imprinted the "Geneva 1560" directly onto the leather at the bottom edge.
The choice for end pages was a chocolate Lokta paper that has its own leathery look.
I suppose in a way it's easier to work with the older copies than with the new. The spine curving was no small issue, but I enjoyed the process.

I've never seen a period specific rebind such as this one posted on Mark's website before, so perhaps this is something a little different which interests Mark's readers. The pictures honestly don't do justice to the binding. I've never seen a binding before that has this much character, given the mottled finish plus the detailed natural grain pattern of the goatskin. The cover's appearance actually changes with a change in lighting. Because of the mottled (multi-colored die) finish and highly detailed natural grain pattern, the cover has a three dimensional appearance to it. I've never seen anything like this before. The all-in cost for my Poor Man's Geneva Bible was right about $200, which includes shipping and the acquisition cost of the original hardback copy. This is a working Bible for me in that I grab it off the library shelf and use it quite often. The facsimile copy is very good and and the copy quality is even throughout. I found it didn't take long to adjust to reading the older style font and writing style. If you can read the KJV, you can read this, too. A nice plus to this facsimile version is the +/-20 page Introduction To The Facsimile Edition. The article provides a great history of the Geneva Bible leading up to the original manuscript that was used for the Hendrickson's 1560 facsimile version. The history of the Geneva Bible is fascinating. For example, it was some of the comments made in the study notes of the 1560 version which aroused concern from King James and ultimately lead to the KJV 1611 "Authorized" version. The Geneva Bible is an important part of our history here in the USA. Moreover, given I'm of Scottish descent, it was a plus when I'd uncovered during my period of research that the Geneva Bible was the official Bible used during the Reformation movement for Scotland as well.
I am very satisfied with the outcome of my Poor Man's Geneva Bible in that I wanted a reasonably inexpensive "working" copy that looked period specific and would become a family heirloom. At about $200, I feel I received considerable value because I have a treasured piece of my heritage that is completely unique and truly one of a kind. Although I've never used another rebinder to date, I'm very happy with Leonard's and I've already commissioned them for other rebinding projects. For those of you who own or know anything about the binding quality problems of Zondervan's Life Application Study Bible, it screams for a quality rebind. I'm going to go with Leonard's Old West Sheepskin with a mottled finish on mine. Eric and Margie are going to significantly upgrade their website very soon, and it will include samples of skins, etc. They've also told me they are going to showcase my Geneva Bible on their updated website. Eric took about six weeks to complete my Geneva Bible rebind and I was very happy with this turnaround time.
I'd like to pass along a few comments I've learned in working through a couple of rebinding projects that may be helpful:
1. Before you contact a rebinder, do your research so you have a very good idea of what you want. Pictures are invaluable for illustrating characteristics in a rebind project that you want to have done. Do not assume the rebinder can read your mind and understand what your desires. You must be specific.
2. When you start contacting rebinders, share your pics with them and take the time to talk through exactly what you want so its clearly communicated. If a rebinder tries to cut you short on your conversation, move on to a different one.
3. Ask the rebinder to email you pics which illustrate the tanned hide they are proposing to use (assuming they are not otherwise shown on their websites). No two hides are the same, especially if any color dies are going to be added. Grain patterns also differ significantly. Try to see what the hide looks like that will be used for your rebind project so you can inspect grain pattern, etc. for yourself.
4. Do not expect perfection. As with Allan Bibles, rebind projects are done one at a time by hand and there will be imperfections. That is part of the beauty of a custom Bible and/or rebind. Each one is truly unique and one of a kind.
Eric and his wife Margie are a husband and wife team. Eric is a senior pastor at their local church and its my understanding they help finance their personal ministry (making ends meet) through revenues from their binding business. I find it compelling that the profits they realize from the business I send them helps sustain their personal finances so Eric can continue his ministry by pastoring at their local church.
Lastly, I owe much gratitude to Mark for his wonderful web blog on Bible binding and design. Mark's tireless and consistent efforts towards making the rest of us aware of the rebinding world, not to mention high quality Bibles such as those produced by Allans, are greatly appreciated. Mark's web blog is the only site I'm aware of which covers rebinding projects and I've benefited greatly from the information Mark and other readers have posted to this web blog. I hope the information I've covered regarding my Poor Man's Geneva Bible is a helpful contribution for this blog community.
Mark Again:
I don't know about you, but seeing these photos has be looking over my bookshelf, trying to decide which volume could do with a little Poor Man's treatment. Thanks, Dave and Eric, for sharing this beautiful project with us all!

Thanks so much for this post, Dave. This is probably the most interesting and helpful rebinding report I've read so far. Like Lawrence, I feel this is a post that has the potential to push me over the edge! I've been thinking about getting a rebind done, and this post was not only inspiring, but gave me a better sense of how to go about it.
What was the final invested price?
This is a beautiful piece. Thanks Dave, Eric, and Mark for letting us check this out. This has piqued my interest in the Geneva Bible.
Wow, that is a beautiful Bible! Great work.
Wow! This is very cool, both the Bible and the story about the Pigrims you told your family. I may do that myself with my family next Thanksgiving.
Truly a work of art.

Thanks for asking!
Needless to say I've sent my Geneva on to them for the rebinding. I have requested that they do the ribbons in the three colors of my Allan ESV-1
I'm the person that was disappointed in the "Printed and Bound in China" statement on my brown Allan ESV-1. Your readers flamed me on my comments, but I stick by them. The Allan ESV-1 with it's "Printed and Bound in China" statement needs to be explained by both Allan and Evangelical Bible. Lacking such a statement, these suppliers are pretty close to false advertising!
Again Mark, thanks for the fine article on the Geneva 1560 rebinding. I'm confident they will do a fine job.
Just a question. He mentioned the tricolor ribbon scheme used in an Alan, and I remember from the post alluded to that the color scheme was originally a practical matter for specific use of each colored ribbon. Do you know what that matter was, that is, the reason for each ribbon color back in that (I don't know when) day?
I have no idea about the reason for the specific colors, but I do like the ones I have on my brown ESV-1 – and I've asked Eric at Leonard's to duplicate the brown ESV-1 colors as close as they can. It is just a personal like and preference thing. Incidentally, below is some text from Mark's earlier review of the ESV-1:
There are three of them, and there's a reason. Ever since Crossway released the Daily Reading Bible, I've been stumping for three ribbons as a minimum for the simple reason that three are required for the plan — especially if you're using a Bible like this one, without the reading plan notes in the margin. When you see those three ribbons, think Old Testament, Psalm, and New Testament. Then it all makes perfect sense. In all three editions, the ribbons are nice and thick. Once you've tried them, it will be hard to go back to the scrawny little things that come in most Bibles.
Hey everyone, just letting you know I'm selling the last 3 NEW copies of the Cambridge KJV/RV Interlinear Bible:

It's been explained on this blog a few times why the Allan's ESV says that it is printed and bound in China even though it is not. Why do you think the fact that it was printed in China devalues the bible? I find it very disturbing that you, as a christian, are so comfortable insulting our Chinese brothers and sisters.

Regarding your comment:
"It's been explained on this blog a few times why the Allan's ESV says that it is printed and bound in China even though it is not. Why do you think the fact that it was printed in China devalues the bible? I find it very disturbing that you, as a christian, are so comfortable insulting our Chinese brothers and sisters."
Do you think all of the potential customers for this product read this blog? What on earth is so insulting? The same logic would apply if it stated that it was printed and bound in the United States. The Allan ESV-1 with it's "Printed and Bound in China" statement needs to be explained by both Allan and Evangelical Bible. Lacking such a statement, these suppliers are pretty close to false advertising!
Where do either R.L Allan or EvangelicalBibles.com state that the Allan Bibles are printed somewhere other than China?
If they haven't done so, your assertion that these suppliers are pretty close to false advertising is hogwash and slanderous.
If they have, I would be interested in a link to the page doing so.
I think I'll just let this topic go. The ESV-1 is a fine Bible, and I am very proud to own it. Also have my 1560 Geneva at Leonard's right now being rebound, per this thread. I've asked Erik & Margie at Leonard's to do the three ribbons in the same colors as the ESV-1, and they will be doing it.
Nice web site Stan. Bet you don't remember when the Navy owned the airport in Sanford and had a squadron of Vigilantes stationed there? I lived in Maitland for 6 years during the Apollo program days. In those days, the Orlando airport was called McCoy AFB, and there were B-52's coming and going frequently – on final right over Maitland.

Often we forget the little guy, the SMB, in our discussions of the comings and goings of the Internet marketing industry. Sure there are times like this when a report surfaces talking about their issues and concerns but, for the most part, we like to talk about big brands and how they do the Internet marketing thing well or not so well.
Awesome Rebind!
This has pushed me over the edge as well. I am getting ready to send off a Bible to Leonard's to get rebound.
Excellent Workmanship! ! ! !

White & Case securities partner Tim Jeveons has left the London office amid disagreements over the firm's strategic direction.
Jeveons is leaving just as White & Case completes its global partnership review. It has not been confirmed where he will go. It is understood that he was concerned about the London office's profitability and focus.
A source close to the firm said: "It seems the London office is moving back to a projects-based practice. There are serious concerns about the securities practice and the finance practice as a whole."
Earlier this year UBS relationship partner Rachel Hatfield left the firm after becoming disaffected because of the strategy (TheLawyer.com, 27 March).
Jeveons played a crucial role in developing the London finance practice as a key relationship partner for Deutsche Bank, Barclays and Merrill Lynch.
A firm spokesperson confirmed the resignation. Jeveons declined to comment.

Looking back, looking ahead: Strauss & Co's bumper harvest
Strauss & Co posted a record turnover of R215 million in 2016, the highest combined income achieved by the company in a single year since its inception in 2009. While the narrative around individual sales matter, it was Strauss & Co's capacity to achieve a sell-through rate of over 80% at its four live auctions in Johannesburg and Cape Town that contributed to its resounding performance. The outstanding result is a testament to Strauss & Co's capacity to bring quality work to the market, an aptitude that is also evident in the strong suite of work – by among others, Irma Stern, JH Pierneef, Peter Clarke and Mikhael Subotzky – assembled for the company's 6 March 2017 sale at the Vineyard Hotel in Cape Town.
TELLING THE STORY: DEO GRATIAS By Billie McTernan
Standing in a dimly lit studio Kate Tamakloe is trying to remember where she last saw the photo of a major that served in the Ghanaian army. As she does I peer through the frames on the walls at year old faces – some are recognisable, others aren't. Studying pictures is reminiscent of opening a time capsule or an old family chest full of fading images and memories.

Footprints: In Conversation with Andrew Tshabangu and Thembinkosi Goniwe
On 18 February 2017 the Standard Bank Gallery in Johannesburg will host an exhibition that covers the last twenty years of South African photographer Andrew Tshabangu's career. Born in 1966, Tshabangu has played a significant role in redefining the visual landscape of South Africa, working alongside the likes of Bob Gosani, Ernest Cole, Peter Magubane, Alfred Kumalo, Omar Badsha, Santu Mafokeng, and David Goldblatt. While his black and white photography has certain 'documentary' qualities, Tshabangu's work lends itself to a more poetic vocabulary, and is often described within the framework of magic realism and surrealism.

Eat This, Save the World!
When it comes to environmentally responsible eating, we're often told what not to eat: Don't eat tuna because it's overfished. Don't eat Chilean sea bass because it's bottom-trawled. Don't eat beef because of carbon dioxide emissions from cows.
But what we're not often told is that putting jellyfish on the menu will help save the world.
Eddie Lin, author of "Extreme Cuisine" and the blog deependdining.com explains what else we should be eating if we want to live in a truly green way (hint: a certain rat-like creature from Lousiana makes for a great stew).
And Taras Grescoe, author of the book and accompanying blog "Bottomfeeder: How to Eat Ethically in a World of Vanishing Seafood", tells us what shellfish and sea critters are ideal for an environmentally friendly diet.
Taras' Moules à la Provençale
Serves 4
- 3 pounds of mussels, debearded (scrape away any algae on the outside) and rinsed
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 finely chopped shallots
- 8 roma tomatoes, quartered and then diced
- 1 red pepper, chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon of thyme
- 3/4 cup tomato juice
- Sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
- Pepper
- Several fresh basil leaves, cut in strips
Heat the olive oil in a pot, lightly sauté shallots, garlic, red pepper, diced tomatoes, and season with sea salt and pepper. Add thyme and bay leaves and let the tomatoes cook until they're reduced to a well blended sauce. Pour in the tomato juice, add the mussels, and then cover the pot and bring to a boil. Remove cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes, until all the mussels have opened (throw away those that remain shut), stirring occasionally. Add basil at the last minute. Serve in bowls—preferably with mayonnaise-topped french fries on the side.

Pickles, Turntables and Graffiti at El Museo del Barrio's 'Bienal' of Latino Art
Trophies made of tire, a can of pickles spinning on a turntable, two gigantic pop-up books and walls covered in graffiti. These are some of the pieces featured in "El Museo's Bienal: The (S) Files 2011" an exhibit that opened on Tuesday at El Museo del Barrio in East Harlem.
The exhibit presents work by 75 contemporary Latin American, Latino and Caribbean artists who have been involved in New York's street art movement.
Argentinean artist Daniel Gonzalez created large inflatable pop-up books that adorn the museum's facade. He explained that the idea of the piece is to transform the square into a permanent block party. The books have flowers that inflate and deflate in a rhythm.
"It's like the museum's breath," Gonzalez said.
Nuyorican artists highlighted in the show include sculptor Carlos Mare Rodriguez, whose pieces transform graffiti letters into metal sculpture. Rodriguez was born in Spanish Harlem, was raised in the South Bronx and spent many years as a graffiti artist on the New York subways.
"I can speak of the Latino New York experience, especially through the lens of the urban hip-hop culture," he said.
Several artists featured in the show were inspired by New York, but also by their native countries. Painter Priscila de Carvalho has an installation that merges the slums of her native Brazil with the suspended train tracks of Long Island City, where she is based.
"There is [the] everyday commute, transfer from one place to the other, as well as coming from Brazil," she said. "Living here has all this kind of idea of moving constantly, ever changing and trying to find, you know, your place in life."
New Yorkers hanging out in cafes were the living models for Mexican artist Felipe Galindo. His work features collages of everyday objects, like napkins and coffee cups.
"I come from a country where we don't have as much variety of different people from all over the world like New York," he said. "So, in a sense, I was feeling in New York like I was in a movie set."
El Museo del Barrio's sixth biennial of cutting edge Latino art is showing through January 8 at the museum and at several other locations, including the BRIC Rotunda Gallery, Chashama at the Donnell, the Lehman College Art Gallery, the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance, the Socrates Sculpture Park and at the Times Square Alliance.
Admission to the museum on Tuesday night is free, as part of the Museum Mile Festival.

American Queen Steamboat Company will bring a European tradition to Mississippi River and hold a series of Christmas markets on a few of its December cruises.
The line, which runs two ships, American Empress on Columbia River and American Queen on Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, will offer the markets in Greenville, Mississippi and Nottoway, Louisiana.
The itinerary includes traditional Christmas performances on the levee in Vicksburg and Natchez, Mississippi and holiday music in Saint Francisville, Louisiana.
Another highlight of the festive Christmas Market cruise is a holiday ball at Nottoway plantation, Louisiana. At the event, American Queen Steamboat Company will recreate the lighting of bonfires along Mississippi River levee, which is a tradition for Christmas in south Louisiana and symbolizes the fires that light the way for Papa Noel.
Ted Sykes, president of the cruise line, said they were working with tourism officials and local towns to make sure the crafts sold at the markets were authentic.
Christmas Market cruises onboard the American Queen are scheduled for both 2015 and 2016.

Eight City Schools Set to Close Replaced Shuttered Schools: Report
Eight city schools — nearly one-third of those slated for closure by the city's Department of Education — are small schools that were created to replace larger ones that Mayor Bloomberg previously closed, according to a new report from the Independent Budget Office.
"We don't know if this is just a one-year anomaly, or if this is just the first wave of these new small schools to fail, so on that one we're saying time will tell, but it's an issue worth following in future years," said Ray Domanico, IBO's Director of Education Research.
Domanico said the study compared 25 schools on the city's closure list to the rest of the city's, and found that their students are performing below average. But the report also finds that those schools are serving students with greater needs, including a higher population of special education students.

It didn't take an act of Congress to raise the fat ceiling once again at the Wisconsin State Fair.
Actually, it's hard to find any state fair in America that hasn't jumped snout-first into the game of one-upping last year's ridiculously unhealthy menu items, often combining foods not normally served together, like ice cream and bacon, and sometimes impaling the result on a stick.
It's a delightful and delicious trend that I wholeheartedly endorse. No one ever died from a day of grazing at the fair. And if they did, they died happy.
Eat whatever you want at the fair, said the surgeon general. No, wait, actually Marla Calico said that. She is director of education for the International Association of Fairs and Expositions.
"You don't go to a fair every day. It's nice to treat ourselves. If you were eating that way every single day, it would be a different story," Calico said.
I'm looking forward to trying the deep-fried butter, this year's novelty food offering at the fair, and I'm hoping it comes with something to dip it in, like gravy or chocolate or both. The fatty, buttery blobs join the Krispy Kreme cheeseburger, chocolate-covered bacon, deep-fried Oreos and other instant classics from recent years.
"What people in the fair business have found is that these types of interesting twists on food capture the public's imagination," Calico said. In 2006, the year she joined the association, she didn't do a single interview about fair food. Now she's doing them constantly.
You might be surprised we did not think up deep-fried butter here in the dairy state. It was a huge hit when it was introduced at the Texas State Fair in 2009. Then it spread to Florida's fair the following February.
"By the end of the fair season in 2010, it was all over other parts of the country. I went to Toronto and I couldn't even get any because the lines were so long," Calico said.
If we're offered maggot melts here next year, we can blame the just-completed California State Fair. Close to 20,000 customers ordered this cheese-and-maggot sandwich, which proves how many people are out there willing to accept a dare.
California also featured raccoon and beaver on a stick and deep-fried scorpions billed as farm-raised. Fair spokeswoman Mary Ann Costamagna stuck with sampling a safer choice, deep-fried Kool-Aid. "I don't know if there was a single natural thing in it," she said.
It sounded like a boast, much like when Illinois State Fair manager Amy Bliefnick told me they won't be worrying about trans fats in Springfield when the fair gets started Aug. 11. New this year: bratwurst sliders wrapped in bacon and brown sugar. Back from last year: meat parfait with layers of beef, pork, mashed potatoes and a cherry on top.
The Minnesota State Fair also is coming up this month, and it will be out there with Spam curds, alligator on a stick and Big Fat Bacon, which is a one-third pound slab on a stick.
"The fair is a day without rules," said enabler and Minnesota fair spokeswoman Brienna Schuette.
Michigan wishes it were getting ready to serve up deep-fried distributor caps, or whatever the local favorite was at the fairgrounds in Detroit. Alas, the fair closed last year because of the state's huge budget deficit.
Happily, Wisconsin's State Fair opens Thursday. Check your diet at the gate.

05-A Michigan Avenue Bridge (1989)
Narrative by - David M. Rote
The earliest known bridge at this location was built about 1873 - and was a swing bridge. Through the years, a number of spans have replaced the original structure.
The lift bridge depicted here dates only from 1960 and was designed to look like an earlier 1930's era bridge which was severely damaged by a drifting ship (the Tewksbury) caught in a torrent of water spawned by a sudden ice thaw on the Buffalo River in January of 1959. Nearby buildings including a ship chandlery and a grain elevator were also damaged during the mishap.
Traces of old wooden wharves which serviced a grain warehouse complex here are visible from the bridge and an excellent view of the old DL&W train sheds maybe seen (see 11-A). Directly to the north of the bridge is the berth of the retired fireboat Edward M. Cotter, originally named the W.S. Grattan, one of the last vessels of its kind on the Great Lakes, a victim of budget cuts by the city government. Because of the volatile nature of grain storage, including heating the grain to reduce moisture content, many fires have occurred along the Buffalo River and the City Ship Canal and the Cotter was often the only sure method of accessing the sites to fight those fires. Until recently during the winter months, the fireboat Cotter, which has been serving Buffalo since 1900, had been used to break up ice along the Buffalo River and the inner harbor.
The General Mills complex at the northwestern end of the bridge, formerly the Washburn-Crosby Plant, produces not only the highly-acclaimed Gold Medal Flour but also such breakfast favorites as Cheerios and Wheaties and many Betty Crocker products. Unique tile grain bins, the only ones of their kind in Buffalo, were built in 1903 for Washburn-Crosby and may still be seen on the Michigan Avenue side of the plant at the City Ship Canal. Behind these are the concrete Frontier Elevators of General Mills.
The mill of George Urban grew to be the largest flour milling operation in Buffalo at the turn of century and today General Mills and nearby Pillsbury on Ganson Street continue to make Buffalo the world's largest flour-milling center.

Didn't I say it two weeks ago that API naming is the most difficult thing? 🙂 My BCL post on System.TimeZone2 has been out for about 12 hours, and the top complaint has been …. can you guess it… yes… the name!
You might even think that I knew this was going to attract some controversy and so I prep you guys with that post. But no, naming the new class System.TimeZone2 was not a controversal witin Microsoft at all. It doesn't even make it into the top 10 debated names. 😉 Once we have reached the decision that we do need a new class for the extended time zone functionality and that this new class was going to totally replace System.TimeZone. There was no question in any of our reviewers' or approvers' mind what this class should be called. Actually, we all agree that calling it by any other name will actually make it more ambiguous what our intentions is.
Users of the .NET framework will know, System.TimeZone2 is to replace System.TimeZone. There is no functionatlity that can be performed in System.TimeZone that cannot be done with System.TimeZone2. We did see people cringe at first, but that's more of a gut reaction to.. why can't we extend System.TimeZone rather than the naming issue. Now why is extending Time Zone support a whole different class is much worthier debate in my mind.
I know some people have been wondering whether this decision was made because of this Orcas "Red" bits vs Orcas "Green" bits limitation. No need to call the MythBusters… I can bust this myth right here and now. This is not the reason. Every feature in Orcas goes through an Architect review to make sure we don't add a new class just because of this "Red" bits "Green" bits rule. (Trust me.. we don't like adding new classes, and we are VERY concern about framework pollution.) If extending System.TimeZone was what we're going to do anyways, then we'll do it in "Red" bits or wait a release. However, after weighing in the pros and cons, it was obvious to us that we'll never just modify System.TimeZone.
It is obvious in the beginning that if we were to extend time zone support in the framework, we have to support Vista's Dynamic Time Zone APIs. Otherwise, we are just bandaiding the problem and waiting for another TimeZone++ to happen. Leveraging Vista's dynamic time zone support is equivalent to overhauling and dumping the old time zone functionality. The whole idea of "daylightsaving" time is different. We're now looking at historic data as well as current data.
Next, we took a look of most requested features from our customers (yes… we do listen.. send us more feedback!) and took a look at what System.TimeZone already has. It was decided that if we were to add a new class, there is no reason to add support to Vista's dynamic time zone and these new features without also having all System.TimeZone's functionality (but implemented differently). (Side Note: We did thought about having a class that doesn't replace System.TimeZone, but merely augments it for the extra support. But it wasn't hard to realize that wouldn't be good.) So, how much breaking changes would require System.TimeZone to have if we were to add all these new features? The answer is …. a lot. I asked last time.. how much breaking will our users tolerate? So, after weighing in everything, we decided that we need a new class, and this new class that needs to do everything that System.TimeZone does. So it only make sense to deprecate System.TimeZone, and introduce this new class as its replacement.
Now, regarding everyone's feeling about the guideline:
"Do use a numeric suffix to indicate a new version of an existing API if the existing name of the API is the only name that makes sense"
I actually pinged Brad and Krzsyztof about your feedback. Hopefully one of them will post something about this soon. 🙂
I hope this explains some of our reasoning. What do you think? Agree? Disagree?

- Mike DeWineOhio Attorney General
Mike DeWine: We Stand with Jim and John
When the Ohio Attorney General is sworn into office, he or she takes an oath to protect and defend the United States Constitution. So among many important responsibilities, the Attorney General's highest duty is to protect and defend the Constitutional rights of Ohioans.
We call upon Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine to uphold this duty and end his outrageous battle to deny Ohioans Jim Obergefell and John Arthur the basic dignity and equal protection they successfully sought as John passed away.
In the summer of 2013, Jim and John were legally married in Maryland. Upon returning to Ohio, Jim and John, who was suffering from ALS, petitioned to have their marriage reflected on John's pending death certificate.
They won their case on equal protection grounds, and when John passed away a few months later, he did so with his valid Maryland marriage recognized on his death certificate, and Jim listed as his survivor.
Sadly, DeWine has fought John and Jim every step of the way, even as the court found that DeWine "utterly failed" to make his case for the unconstitutional treatment of the Cincinnati couple. Still, DeWine has vowed to rescind their marriage from John's death certificate—likely more than a year after his death—through an appeal that will play out over the coming year.
What a waste of taxpayer dollars, and what a misuse of an office whose duty is to stand up to—not for—the unconstitutional treatment of Ohioans.
Please sign this petition to call upon Attorney General DeWine to do his duty, uphold the Constitution, and allow Jim and John the dignity and equal treatment they deserve.
- Ohio Attorney General

Amadore Six: ReunitedMature
Chapter Six: Reunited
I swore I'd only started running a few seconds ago and here I am. I guess that fight or flight instinct is no joke. The sight that greeted me was similar to Pancarsa, small town, but in a huge open field in the distance I could see huge, white canvas tents. The town itself was booming with activity and it didn't take me long to ask someone about the shipwreck. I was sent to the big tents. Guess that's where their treating the injured. I hope Gale and the captain was okay. I really needed to learn that guys name.
I approached the tented area cautiously. I pulled back a nearby flap and peered in and had to fight back the urge to shout with joy as I saw Gale handing out bowls to various people lying on the floor. She stood up after giving the last in juried person the medicinal soup and immediately spotted me. Gale, apparently, didn't share my restraint. She yelped and raced across, pulling me into her arms and surrounding me with her honey smell.
"What the hell is that?!" Gale shouted as her eyes honed in on something behind me. I turned to see Hunter, he must've following me. I felt myself release a breath I didn't even realise I'd been holding and bent down to pick him up. A small yowl left his mouth when I brushed his left front paw, the one with the white mark on it. I glanced from his curious yellow eyes to her wide, worried chocolate pools.
"His name is Hunter. He found me," I replied with a small shrug. She muttered something foreign under her breath.
"Only you would find a demon," She whispered and I tried to shiver from the memory of that guy. I wondered how Hunter had escaped. Though it wasn't without cost. I felt guilty when I looked at his limping leg.
"He's not a demon, he's just a cat," I said standing up and crossing my arms.
"I sense a demonic energy, and the cat is the source," Gale replied, mirroring my stance.
"He hasn't tried to hurt me. He's been helping me since he found me," I said. Feeling Hunter brush against my legs. I knelt down again, beginning to stroke him. Whenever my hand returned to his head I'd feel him nuzzle against it. There was no way this cat was a demon. Odd yes, but not a demon.
"Fine." Gale huffed - "But if that cat does anything, it's on your hands." I nodded, accepting those terms.
"The ship's repaired enough for us to go-" I turned to meet the cyan eyes of the captain. He looked different now, no more pirate's hat. And from the looks of it his body and expression wasn't anywhere near as frustrated or intense as it had been when I'd first laid eyes on him. I was glad to see he was more relaxed. And shocked to see me.
"Told you she wasn't dead," Gale said from behind, a quirky grin forming - "You owe me Captain-boy" Gale continued. With a small sound of annoyance, the captain handed Gale some coins. Wait, what?! I couldn't decide if I should be happy Gale had faith in my survival, or offended that the subject of my life became a mere bet.
"Don't be so annoyed," The captain said, noting my expression with a small grin. I felt my lips form a pout before pushing the whole thing out of my mind.
"We're going back to sea? What about what happened before?" I asked, trying not to recall the shiver - inducing memories of the storm.
"It won't happen again, we're away from his area of influence," Gale replied.
"Okay...who is him?" I gave Gale a look that said "Don't you dare lie or hedge this time!"
"Aquarius...He is a very powerful demi-god and for whatever reason, he's taken an interest in getting you," Gale said. A small laugh left my lips.
"Demi-god? Really? Okay this place is getting just a little bit too far out there," I said. Gale simply shook her head.
"Deny if you wish. But reality will catch up to you," Gale stated before following the captain. This world and the word reality just didn't go hand in hand. At least not in my mind. I wonder what Gale and the captain would say about my world. And wasn't there something on my to-do list when I found these two?
"Captain!" I yelled, grabbing his attentions straight away, "What's your name?" I asked
"Grayson" he replied. Finally, no more referring to him as "The Captain" in my head. And another odd name. Guess I shouldn't be surprised anymore by stuff.
It was with relief and mild trepidation that I starred out at the calm waves. Gale had reassured me various times that we were safe now, but everything in my being said we weren't. And I had yet to ask Gale what had happened before during that storm. I don't want to describe it as a spell but I guess that's the most appropriate word. All I can remember was the raw power of it. Ever since then weird things have happened. The strange light and that person within it. No matter how hard I tried to recall their image it eluded me. It was just like my dreams. I knew they was something important in them. But I could never remember what. I'm also supposed to believe demi-gods are real and that one is after me? I just wanted to go below and bury my head deep in my pillow for the rest of the trip.
A disgruntled mew reached my ears and I glanced down at my feet to see an unhappy Hunter. Guess the swaying of the boat didn't agree with him. I bent down and picked him up. I half expected him to jump out of my arms. Usually animals give me a wide berth, i's always assumed it was because they could somehow sense my abilities. Though I've never been able to see a animals aura to this day.
But Hunter never tried to escape my grip. He just snuggled into me, mewing softly as he did. I felt a small smile touch my lips. At least I wasn't completely alone in this unknown wilderness of a world.

Islamabad, Jun 2: Pakistan's Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani is likely to pay an official visit to the United States in July to hold talks with the American leadership on important regional, bilateral and international issues, with special focus on the ongoing cooperation in the anti-terror war.
President George W Bush's call to the Pakistani leader on Friday was meant to publicly signify that his administration was keen to reassure the new Pakistan government of its continuing co-operation and support. However, it had also made it clear that it continued to remain opposed to any efforts to dislodge President Pervez Musharraf from office, Daily Times reported today.
The Bush administration sees President Musharraf's presence in the government as lending stability to the system. His departure from the scene, it fears, could trigger a period of uncertainty and given the fractured state of the ruling coalition, no one knows ''where the pieces will fly''.
The US is deeply concerned about Pakistan's seeming ''inability'' to stop the tribal regions from being used as an operational base for the Taliban and al Qaeda elements for operations against the US and NATO forces in Afghanistan.
There are serious fears in Washington that the next major attack against the West would be launched from these regions and may already have been conceived and prepared. The US is also extremely uneasy about the new government's decision to negotiate with what Washington considers ''terrorists or potential terrorist groups''.
While it believes that the social and economic development of the tribal areas is essential and has also extended financial assistance for that purpose, it understands it to be only a medium, if not a long-term prospect.
The problem of the area being used as a ''haven'' or a base for terrorist attacks into Afghanistan, Pakistan and the lands beyond is an immediate one and must be dealt with immediately.
While the US is well aware of the extremely negative reaction produced in Pakistan by the unilateral drone attacks in the tribal areas, it is not always willing to share sensitive information with its Pakistani counterparts.
''There are reports that on more than one occasion, when information was shared with Pakistan about the presence of a terrorist individual or group at a given point in the tribal areas, before an attack could he launched, those targeted had been alerted and allowed to move off to safety,'' the newspaper added.
The US continues to believe that there still exist in the Pakistani defence establishment elements that are sympathetic to the very phenomenon of terrorism that the US wants liquidated.
In the recent contacts at the highest levels, Washington has made no secret of the sense of alarm it feels at the ''molly-coddling'' of terrorist elements by some in Islamabad and the less than enthusiastic response to the imminent or existing threats.
At the same time, there is ''much appreciation'' for what Pakistan has done and the ''great sacrifices it has made''. However, Washington would like Islamabad to ''do more'' and it would like ''everyone to be on board'' in fighting terrorism.

Facebook has just introduced a new feature that basically allows you to choose the person who will take over your account if you die. Grim, but kind of cool.
What the 'Legacy Contact' will pretty much do, is put pressure on the shoulders of a loved one to make sure your social profile is kept intact upon your demise. And I just can't work out if that's a good thing or not.
I suppose it says everything about the modern world we live in, and with that said, I'm pretty sure it's going to be used A LOT.
If I'm honest, I'd probably leave mine to a mate, or failing that, a complete randomer who I've never spoken to just to cause some hilarious awkwardness.
But it would probably be a good idea to leave it in the hands of a close family member.
It's currently not available in the UK, but it will be here very soon…

Hi all.
I had read in some reviews that Brooks can come up a bit small in size. Certainly true for the adrenaline GT12s I've just bought. Manageable up to 10k but over that and toes take a battering. Will know for future (I'm a regular shoe UK9, had been getting 9.5 for Saucony but will get a 10 for Brooks).
Interested to know if this is limited to certain style of Brooks or general across the range. Like the look of the latest Pure Cadence 2 for track/interval/up to 10k races, having made the switch and fallen in love with the Adrenaline...
I currently wear Saucony Guide 6 in a size 10 (I am 9.5 in normal shoes) ... and I managed to try the pure cadence size 11 and they felt good size wise. 10 was definitely too small. unfortunately they didn't have the 10.5 to try.
The only way you'll know is by going to a store & trying them out.
Let me know how you get on though, as I am really interested in switching over to the cadence sooner or later.
brooks across the range are on the small size
i am an 8 in asics gt but recently purchased a pair of brooks t7 and found the 8 just a bit too tight so ended up with 8.5.
there's a good guide via the Shoe Fitr site that compares shoes.
it is nowhere near a replacement for trying them on physically, but it's good to know what to expect.
appreciate the responses.
I thinks it's quite common for a lot of shoes. I always go a whole size up for my Brooks Adrenaline.
thanks clumsy..
Stu J... been reviewing the shoefit guide. very helpful. thanks.
Up to you really Owen. Only you'll know how much it hurts. Sore toes from a long run or really rubbing on the front? Mine were just clearly to tight... Should have sent back used for a bit ... doh.
I just went bought some new ones and bought a half size bigger. So I was a 9.5 and I bought a 10. I still use the 9.5s but only for easy runs up to 6 miles and I'll use them for however long they last. But for my distance work (over 10 miles) I'll be wearing the 10s.
Also bought some Pure Cadence.... 9.5 is ok for me in this style.
I promise I haven't bought any others!!!
My experience seems to differ from most then. I ran a marathon in size 10 Brooks Racer ST5 today and no problems with fit or tightness for me, and I have various size 10 Asics and in the past have had Mizuno and Nike size 10 and all much of a muchness as far as I'm concerned. Even within a given brand it depends on the specific shoe - there's a noticeable difference between my tightest and loosest pairs of size 10 Asics. If anything my Brooks are slightly longer than my Asics but slightly narrower across the toe box.
But then I seem to be in the minority of people who wear the same size in running shoes, casual trainers, smart shoes, and once upon a time football boots too.
My Brooks Green Silence are small - had to go up a whole size for them, whereas most running shoes I go up half size at the most (if they do them!)
Vivibarefoot don't do half sizes in the ones I wanted so have to wear thicker socks

AAA Alarms, SecurTek Swap Customer Accounts
AAA Alarm Systems Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Manitoba Telecom Services Inc. (MTS), and SecurTek have agreed to swap accounts as part of ...
July 1, 2009
AAA Alarm Systems Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Manitoba Telecom Services Inc. (MTS), and SecurTek have agreed to swap accounts as part of a joint agreement. SecurTek, a SaskTel subsidiary, provides commercial and residential security monitoring service to customers across Canada.
AAA Alarms will acquire SecurTek's Manitoba, Canada, customer accounts as well as a $1.5 million cash payment from SecurTek. In exchange, AAA Alarm will hand over its accounts outside of Manitoba, which are predominantly located in Alberta.
The transaction is expected to enhance the strategic positioning of MTS' alarm services in its home market, according to MTS president, consumer markets division, Kelvin Shepherd. The deal will reinforce AAA Alarm's market exposure and present future opportunities for expansions in its home security services.
The agreement will allow SecurTek to focus on geographic growth in its target markets of Saskatchewan, Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta, says Robert Watson, SaskTel president and CEO.
"SecurTek is well positioned to thrive in the monitoring industry's competitive market and we look forward to providing reliable and affordable security monitoring solutions to even more homes in Alberta with this acquisition," Watson says.
SecurTek and AAA Alarms will honor existing contracts, and SecurTek's Winnipeg-based monitoring station will continue to provide redundancy for its existing monitoring services.

Experts: Workplace studies can be beneficial
We're in the golden age of workplace surveys, a time when no aspect of the office or any of the behaviors of its inhabitants are immune to examination.
In less than a week, I've been contacted about studies that include: how many workers report that stress from a personal problem hurts their work performance; what percentage of workers think a pet-friendly workplace would make them more productive; how many people believe they'll get a raise within three months; what percentage of millennials want to set their own schedules; and what time of day the boss sends work-related emails.
One particularly compelling bit of research began: "Americans' attitudes about work are shifting, with the changes both positive and negative."
I'm certainly not alone in this river of workplace data. Whether it's a sound scientific study or a publicity-hungry corporation's dopey survey, this information routinely winds up in newspapers and on websites and the nightly news.
So I ask: Is it too much? Are we overanalyzing the workplace?
Deborah Rupp, the William C. Byham Chair in Industrial/Organizational Psychology at Purdue University and editor of the Journal of Management, doesn't think so.
She quoted William Faulkner: "You can't eat eight hours a day nor drink for eight hours a day nor make love for eight hours — all you can do for eight hours is work."
"Work is just a very pervasive part of the human experience," Rupp said. "People are now working more than they're doing everything else, except maybe sleeping — but in a lot of cases, not even sleeping. It's the venue in which we're carrying out our lives."
So this intense study is, in Rupp's opinion, a good thing. And it marks a significant change in concern for our overall well-being.
For ages, the primary focus of workplace monitoring was to figure out how to squeeze as much work out of people as possible. The concept of "work" and "life" melding together is, in the grand scheme of things, relatively new.
"All this data we see is symbolic of organizations paying more attention to the needs and health of workers than ever before," Rupp said. "It used to just be, 'How can we make you more productive?' It wasn't because you, as a human being, matter. Now, the information we receive has a concern motive about it."
To my concern of oversaturation, she notes, wisely, that the prevalence of work in our lives makes it virtually impossible for us to tire of new data and trends in the workplace. It's like talking about the weather — we just can't resist.
Karen Cates, a lecturer at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, agreed that the appetite for studies about work is insatiable, but she did warn against management becoming too reactionary with each new data set that comes along.
"You'll see stats that say only 15 percent of women in corporate America are CEOs," Cates said. "One of the answers that comes from that is: We have to recruit more women. You take a statistic that you don't know anything about, and you just jump to a conclusion. That's not very thoughtful, it's reactive. And that's the risk that you take in letting these stats speak for themselves. There's a risk of getting on a bandwagon without knowing where you're going."
At the same time, she said, even the more sensational bits of data can raise valid questions. The key for managers is to research the data and decide whether it's worth worrying about.
"You see this absurd or surprising statistic — but maybe it relates to you or your company," Cates said. "That's where leadership comes in. If leadership seems sincere in their desire to know something or discover something, they'll research it. Then they'll say, 'Hey, this is an issue, we want to do something about it.' "

If you have had your car for more than a year, then you have probably encountered at least one mysterious stain. Dark colored car seats---whether leather or cloth---tend to develop unpleasant-looking stains in uncomfortable places, usually in the area where you sit. These stains are often due to sweat or heat, and can be removed fairly easily, in most cases.
Things You'll Need
- Cleaning rag
- Baking soda
Make a paste with baking soda and water. You can do this in the palm of your hand. Simply pile 1 or 2 tbsp. of baking soda into your hand. Add a few drops of water at a time until you have made a paste. It should be damp enough to stick together, but not runny.
Apply the paste to the stain. Do this when you can let the car sit for a few hours.
Let the paste sit on the stain for two hours. The car should remain warm and dry---but not hot---during this time. Leaving the car in the garage should be fine.
Wipe the paste off with a cleaning rag. The stain should come with it. Once you have removed the paste, use a clean, damp rag to blot up any remaining baking soda. Your dark car seat should now be stain-free.
Tips & Warnings
- Mold stains, which can be light or dark, can be removed using vinegar, but be sure to test it on your upholstery before you use it.

Sparx: Having a Sulk
I stalked back to the Hotel after Jane ran off, snarling irritably and lashing out at any small furry woodland creature that got too close. I swear if looks could have killed, Medusa'd have looked like a beauty queen next to me.
Expect more? What does she think I am some disobedient schoolboy? I'm a bleeding demon for heck's sake, not some fallen angel with a conscience problem.
I rolled my eyes and slashed at a tree with my tail, leaving some considerable slash marks in the bark. Females, I thought darkly, why they were created I have no idea.
Nature's biggest mistake. Ever.
I arrived back at the Hotel pretty soon and stalked in through the door. Sola and Regan were gone and Mark was probably upstairs with his human. I wondered if she'd died yet, cause by my reckoning she seemed pretty close to it.
But did I care?
I didn't give a peanut.
Still muttering like a grumpy old man I slid upstairs and found a vacant room, passing by the room Mark was in. Feeling irritable, I gave a lewd gesture as I passed.
Typically, Mark was too infatuated with his snack to see. I huffed and walked on.
Upon reaching the room, I found a convenient corner and slid down into the small neash there.
I then proceeded to immerse myself in self pity and have a good long wallow in some serious selfish misery. Feeling sorry for myself for just about everything that had happened that day, from being flung into the door to being snubbed by Jane, even Sola's whinging on the hunt.
Self-pity is a great healer.

In the last meet of the federation's annual northern Europe track trip, the Aug. 6 Memorial Rasschaert Flanders Cup Meet in Belgium, sub-62 half marathoner Yusuke Takabayashi (Team Toyota) ran his second PB in a week, clocking 13:34.38 for 5000 m to erase his oldest standing PB. Takabayashi, a second-year corporate runner, beat his Komazawa University-era teammate Tsuyoshi Ugachi (Team Konica Minolta), Japan's leading 10000 m and half marathon runner of 2011, and current teammate Chihiro Miyawaki (Team Toyota) by less than four seconds, dropping both on the final lap in a bid to keep up with eventual winner Faisa Dame Tasama (Belgium). Takabayashi's mark puts him at fifth for the year in the 5000 m among Japanese men.
