Holidays are the opportune time to gather with friends and family and enjoy different types of food and drink. While hosting a party, guests require a variety of drinks to meet different taste preferences. This gives visitors many options to choose from and keeps them entertained. Having a wide variety of drinks, which might including holiday frozen drinks, ensures unique and tasty options for guests. Holiday frozen drinks can be combined with different food items, and they can enhance the flavor of the food. Holiday frozen drinks might be more applicable in warmer climates.
Enjoying frozen drinks during the holidays, whether in a small gathering or in a large party, is not very expensive. Such drinks are also great for company holiday parties. Holiday frozen drinks use basic items for their ingredients like ice, flavor, concentrate or mix for the drinks, water and alcohol. Most of these ingredients are not very expensive. Therefore, they are affordable for any holiday party size.
One can buy different flavors for frozen holiday drinks in large quantities if one is hosting a party. In fact, making one's own holiday frozen drinks is actually more affordable than hiring a catering or bar service. Ice, which is a staple for any frozen drink, is affordable and one can freeze large amounts of ice in his or her freezer, especially if the freezer has a large capacity. This will further reduce the cost of the drinks. Buying other ingredients like lemon, mint and other similar ingredients in bulk for the party can make the drinks tastier by enhancing the flavor. Garnishes, like mint, add a festive, holiday look to any frozen drink.
In addition, frozen drinks add uniqueness and variety to any holiday get-together. Therefore, one can meet all guests' preferences, and alcohol is sometimes added to holiday frozen drinks. There are a wide range of holiday blends and alcohol types to choose from. One can make holiday frozen cocktails easily in blenders or other appliances.
However, holiday frozen drinks are not exclusively applicable to holiday parties. In fact, these drinks can be made for one's family as a special holiday treat. One can make different holiday frozen drinks with unique consistencies in different flavors. One can search the Internet for frozen holiday drink ideas, or even find recipe books containing step by step instructions for making the perfect frozen drink.
Using the right type of festive glasses for the frozen drink can add to its appeal. For instance, holiday mugs or glasses might enhance the festive atmosphere and give the holiday frozen drinks a unique look. Selecting the right type of glasses for each drink can make them look more appealing. While hosting a party, guests might appreciate this extra attention to detail.
In addition, one can enhance the look of the holiday frozen drinks with different garnishes and items. For example, adding different ingredients and fruits to the drink like berries or cinnamon candies can make the drink look more festive. For a true holiday feel, one can add cream and sprinkle some spices on the top of the holiday drink.

NCAA enacts broad academic, scholarship reforms
The value and length of athletic scholarships were increased while academic standards were toughened for postseason participation Thursday in a number of proposals adopted by the NCAA Division I board of directors.
Among the agreed-upon changes:
• Athletes will be eligible for up to $2,000 annually to cover incidental expenses above their basic scholarship for room, board, books and tuition.
• Institutions will be permitted to offer multiyear scholarships in place of year-by-year renewals.
• Beginning with the 2012-13 school year, teams will have to post a minimum Academic Progress Rate (APR) to be eligible for bowl games, NCAA tournaments and other NCAA championships. The cutoff will start at a score of 900 (on a scale of 1000) and rise over three years to 930, which the NCAA projects to be a 50% graduation rate.
The board's actions implement recommendations initiated at an August retreat of college officials and NCAA President Mark Emmert.
"I think, taken as a whole, it is by far and away the most aggressive and broad reform package that I've seen in my professional career at the NCAA and as a conference commissioner," the Big Ten Conference's Jim Delany said.
The increase in scholarship money, which will move schools closer to covering what is described as the full cost of attending college, will be left up to conferences to voluntarily apply. Conferences can use league funds to assist individual schools.
"This is certainly not play for pay," Emmert said. "This is a recognition that for four decades or more, the (athletic scholarship) model has been unchanged."
Individual schools can choose to remain with the one-year scholarship or adopt the multiyear model. One year remains the minimum. The grant cannot be revoked because of athletic performance.
The increase in scholarship value and length, however, has raised concerns that the divide between six major conferences and others will grow. Most of the big leagues are expected to move quickly to approve the additional funds.
In applying the APR to teams' postseason eligibility, the NCAA will use a cutoff of 900 for two years before moving to 930. For the 2014-15 school year, teams falling below 930 can remain eligible if their two-year average is at least 940. The strict 930 requirement takes effect in 2015-16 without exceptions.
Had that bench mark been in effect last year, it would've sidelined seven teams that reached the Division I men's basketball tournament, including champion Connecticut, and eight that played in bowls.
Along with the APR, initial eligibility standards have been raised for incoming freshmen, beginning in 2015-16, from a 2.0 grade point average in core high school courses to a 2.3. Transfers must carry a 2.5 GPA (also up from 2.0), starting in 2012-13. "We realize this is a major jump, which is why we're allowing a four-year ramp-up period," said Hartford President Walter Harrison, chair of the academic performance committee. "We recognize we need some time to change behavior."
Basketball recruiting rules were also the focus of several changes. Restrictions on coaches' text messages and phone calls to recruits were lifted after prospects have completed at least their sophomore year in high school. Coaches will have four days in April (previously a dead recruiting period) to evaluate while the July evaluation period was reduced to 12 days from 20.
A proposal to allow coaches more opportunities to work with recruits and current players during the summer was endorsed in concept, with final passage by the board likely in January.
The recruiting measures were sought by the Atlantic Coast Conference, among others. "This gets us much closer to the appropriate balance of access, communication and guidance for prospects, current players and coaches," league Commissioner John Swofford said.

NEW YORK (Oct. 6)
Emphasizing that the internationalization of Jerusalem is possible, but only with the cooperation of Israel as well as Jordan, Bartley C. Crum, former U.S. member of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry on Palestine, today came out in the New York Times with the following suggestions:
1. "Make it a condition precedent for Jordan's admission to the United Nations that it accept internationalization of Old Jerusalem and Bethlehem, Jordan to act as United Nations Trustee for that area."
2. "Make it a condition precedent for any agreement by the United Nations that Israel may have its capital in Jerusalem, that the New City of Jerusalem be internationalized, with Israel as the United Nations Trustee in that area."
3. "Extend the present truce terms between Israel and Jordan to open up the road to Mount Scopus, the campus of the Hebrew University and the Hadassah Hospital, and provide for free access of all pilgrims–Christians, Mohammedans and Jews–to all the Holy Places in all of the Palestine area."

With the release of "Shine," her 10th studio album, on RCA Records Nashville, multiple-platinum recording artist Martina McBride has once again debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. The CD's single "Ride," released in late 2008, is #11 on this week's singles chart.
The Kansas native won Country Music Association's Female Vocalist of the Year in 1999, 2002, 2003 and 2004. In 2002-2004, she was voted the Academy of Country Music's Top Female Vocalist.
Her hits "Independence Day" (1994) and "Broken Wing" (1998) also raised awareness of the issue of domestic abuse. In 2004, the ACM voted her Top Humanitarian of the year for her work on behalf of the victims of family violence.
McBride's powerful voice belies her petite stature. When it comes to delivering the big moment of a song, no one in the music business can even stand on the same stage. Her sound engineers probably have to wear extra protection in their headsets to avoid having their eardrums blown out.
McBride, the married mother of three, took time from promoting "Shine" to talk to us about putting a CD together, selecting songs and that one "special" tune that touched her heart.
News-Telegram: This album has some really big songs. Tell us about the process you use to select songs for a CD.
Martina McBride: Finding songs is still the hardest part of making an album. I listened to thousands of songs, as usual, and I am happy to say that I found some of the greatest songs yet. I admit my taste runs a little left of center, but that is part of what I do and who I am. I always look for great songs that touch me emotionally and that is a very personal thing – not something that I try to manipulate or do for commercial success. Occasionally I am fortunate enough to find songs that touch me and have commercial appeal. It does not get easier to find songs, and I have started writing with different writers to help expand my possibilities.
NT: Was there one particular song that touched you more than the others on "Shine"?
MM: I love the song "Wild Rebel Rose" by Mark Irwin and Josh Kear. I love how at the beginning you think she [Rose] is kind of goth or kind of an outcast because of her black clothing and her makeup and you realize why she's doing that at the end. It's a really great piece of writing. It reminded me of "Ode to Billie Joe" or "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" – one of those classic story songs.
mySSnews extras
NT: Your website, www.martinamcbride.com, doesn't list any U.S. tour dates. Will you be touring here to support "Shine"?
MM: We're actually trying a little different strategy this time. Hopefully the dream would be to have two big hits and be working on a third single by the time we tour in the fall of 2009. I'm anxious to see how it works out because on paper it makes sense.

Thousands of workers in the cleaning and dyeing industry in the metropolitan area will go on strike this morning in an effort to halt violation of the NRA fair practice code by chain firms and non-union store owners.
Throughout the five boroughs and Westchester efforts will be made by the Inside Cleaning and Dyeing Workers Union, Local 18,232, consisting of shop workers, and the Cleaning and Dye House Drivers Union, both affiliates of the American Federation of Labor, to halt all traffic in the industry by means of picketing and distribution of literature.
Officials of both unions, interviewed at their headquarters at Clinton Hall, 151 Clinton street, yesterday, said that store owners are behine the strike and lockout by employers. Protest against the cut-throat prices maintained against NRA code provisions were to be voiced yesterday afternoon when about 4,000 retailers indicated their intention of attending a mass meeting.
Jacob Effrat, general manager of the Cleaning and Dye House Drivers Union, issued a statement tot he public declaring in substance that plant owners owe drivers form two to twenty weeks's back salary, that drivers are working eighty hours per week, that competition has forced tailors to default on payments to drivers and that "drivers demand a new contract before returning to work guaranteeing them a minimum of twenty-eight dollars weekly plus ten per cent of the commission of the collection weekly."
"It is our purpose to educated the public regarding the degrading evils existing in our trade, also to effectuate machinery to eliminate these evils." said Mr. Effrat.
Isaac Freedman, chairman of the public relations committee of the union, said that the union will aim at complete unionization of the trade.
Samuel Weintraube said, "We ask nothing more than what is reasonably due us. Not a single outsider will lift a hand to work until conditions are cleared up. Furthermore, insiders and outsiders have come to a mutual understanding and agreement that neither of the two locals will authorize its men to go back to work until both unions have been satified as to the contract, back pay and guarantee that workers will receive a living wage and decent working conditions.

Title to be discussed: The Round House [1], by Louise Erdrich. Wednesday April 3, at 11 a.m. Review: "One of the most revered novelists of our time—a brilliant chronicler of Native-American life—Louise Erdrich returns to the territory of her bestselling, Pulitzer Prize finalist The Plague of Doves with The Round House, transporting readers to the Ojibwe reservation in North Dakota. It is an exquisitely told story of a boy on the cusp of manhood who seeks justice and understanding in the wake of a terrible crime that upends and forever transforms his family."-amazon.com

Best winter egg-layers
many homesteaders, I'm not willing to keep a heritage breed if it
doesn't pull its weight on my farm, so when egg numbers dwindled this
winter, I started pondering the idea of adding a few hybrids back into
the flock. I know from experience that Golden Comets
keep plugging along all winter with barely lowered production, and I've
read similar reports about other production strains like Red Sex-links
and White Leghorns.
A POOP-free chicken waterer keeps hens healthy, which means more eggs.

Have you ever thought of adding laying ducks? The highest laying ducks can outlay the best chickens and truck right through the winter. With a couple of laying ducks, you would significantly boost winter eggs AND they lay well longer (to an older age; their productivity doesn't have as significant a drop after a year or 18 months) than chickens. They don't need nearly as much water as one might think, and do quite well in a very low rubber sheep foot bath. A laying trio (two hens and a drake) would add roughly two eggs a day with the right breeds, even through the winter. And you could hatch ducklings for a unique meat treat. http://holderreadfarm.com/selection_tips_page/selection_tips.htm
Comment by early Wednesday morning, February 13th, 2013—
Charity --- I've considered ducks --- and we may still go there --- but have been scared off by learning another species and by how hard I've heard they are to pluck. I'm sure we'll try them out one of these days, but the question is whether it'll be before or after all the other things I dream of (rabbits, pigeons, pigs, goats, etc.)
Comment by Friday afternoon, February 15th, 2013—
I don't see much difference in Brown or white eggs but my wife prefers brown eggs. Which chickens lay brown eggs? And the best chicken to survive vermont winters? We plan on getting 4 - 6 chickens in the spring. We are both retired and don't travel much anymore this would give us a nice pass time throughout the year. THANK YOU.
Comment by at teatime on Monday, November 4th, 2013—
Brad --- Good question! I thought others might enjoy seeing the answer, so I'm going to post it on our blog this coming Wednesday. Stay tuned!
Comment by at lunch time on Friday, November 15th, 2013—
So long as you aren't looking for a significant meat bird [though really Rhodies are more midsized rather than undersized, we've just grown accustomed to giant chicken carcasses], the Rhode Island Red is probably an excellent choice for you.

Field trips are a popular activity for all students. No matter how old they are or where they are headed, kids love to explore new places with their friends. Such activities should be encouraged, but good planning and organization is necessary to ensure a successful trip.
Students, even preschoolers, may take a couple of days off in order to take field trips every school year. As students grow older, the frequency of field trips can increase to 3 or 4 each year. As a teacher, you will want to be prepared by having a field trip checklist ready at hand!
Before leaving for a field trip, you must ensure that the required supplies are in order.
Before departing make sure that you have the following things in order:
As you arrive at your destination, keep the following points in mind:
As you return from a successful field trip, make sure that everything you had left with is finally on board.
This checklist should be an integral part of your teacher resources kit. You should also jot down necessary facts and figures to prepare a worksheet for those children who were unable to attend.

Romeo and Juliet
Royal Opera House, London WC2
One of this year's most rewarding spectacles has been the evolution of the Royal Ballet's Ivan Putrov from accomplished but formal classicist to passionate dancer-actor. The catalyst seems to have been last year's injury when, misjudging a leap, he crumpled to the stage in front of a shocked gala audience celebrating Maya Plisetskaya's 80th birthday. Months of enforced reflection followed, and when he returned, he was a different performer. His Swan Lake in February was understandably cautious but as Lensky in Onegin the following month, as a gentle soul goaded to devastating anger by Sarah Lamb's feckless Olga, he was a revelation.
Making his debut in Romeo and Juliet opposite Roberta Marquez, he proves that the new Putrov is here to stay. In the past he might have sheltered behind his supremely elegant technique; today that technique is just one element of a nuanced, intelligent and vulnerable performance. Radiantly joy-struck after his rendezvous with Marquez's sensual Juliet, Putrov's Romeo is blind to the devastating consequences of his actions, and when faced with these - Tybalt dead at his feet, Juliet inconsolable - his reactions are those of a panicked teenager. In the bedchamber pas-de-deux he hauls his weeping bride around in a rough and shocking parody of their first encounter, presaging the wild grief with which he later drags her body around the crypt. Marquez responds with fluent and occasionally sumptuous dancing. She's very pretty, with delicate, fine-drawn features, but ineffective make-up seemed to blank these out and mute her expressiveness, which was our loss.

I'm with Sai - I don't really give a shit about veto rights either. I'm also one of those peeps who is pretty new, and only in the space ~1x/wk, so the $80/mo seems a bit steep for now.

I love the affiliate member idea, and totally did not know it existed...it seems like it would fit someone like me perfectly. Advertising it more = win. The only question - do you get to write this off on your taxes (i.e. is it a donation, or am I on the books as an official "member", and therefore can't take it as an exemption).

Just to be clear: I was not suggesting that "full membership" out to be
 faster/cheaper. ĀI'm not really interested in full membership; I'm just
 not around noisebridge enough.

 I was strictly suggesting that there ought to be a level of membership
 which is appropriate to someone like me, becuase I think there are quite
 a few people who are infreqent but regular visitors to NB.

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is making accessibility improvements to its forthcoming Windows 8 operating system. The company announced efforts this week to create an environment that is friendlier to users with disabilities. Nearly 50 million Americans have a disability that affects hearing, vision, cognition, or mobility. Most of the Windows 8 improvements detailed thus far are designed to accommodate the visually impaired.
Jennifer Norberg, senior program manager of the company's Human Interaction Platform team, wrote about the developments on the official Microsoft Developer Network blog. The initiative is twofold: make touchscreen-appropriate upgrades to existing accessibility programs, such as Narrator and Magnifier, while tweaking the accessible-programming interface to support those efforts.
Narrator is a screen reader that has been packaged with Windows since the 2000 edition. It the past, Narrator drew complaints that it was slow and limited in functionality. The Windows 8 version will feature a speed boost, broader voice output options, and customizable features. The improvements also aim to improve Web browsing in Internet Explorer by increasing the range of details that Narrator can read.
Keeping with the touchscreen theme of the operating system, the new Narrator will allow even fully blind users to operate a tablet. Touching the screen with a single finger while Narrator is turned on will read the features rather than activate them. A double tap will cause the feature to launch.
A better touchscreen interface
Magnifier, which launched with Windows 98, provided adequate screen magnification on a computer screen but lagged behind in touchscreen usage. The problem was that the dragging motion required to activate the feature also placed the user's hand in front of the content. Windows 8's Magnifier will have horizontal and vertical scrollbars that can be tapped to zoom in and out on content.
Accessibility of these programs is dependent upon a solid underlying interface. Microsoft established the UI Automation (UIA) framework standards in 2005 to serve as a bridge between developed applications and accessible workability. Windows 8 will add more depth to the UIA, allowing Narrator in particular to tap richer sources of data and offer a broader range of functions. In other words, more items will be tagged with words that Narrator will be able to read to a blind user.
Microsoft says it has plans to coordinate with other assisted technology (AT) companies to make sure that the operating system is suitable. Additional AT programs are available for purchase from third parties if Windows 8 needs further customization.
If the accessibility options for the visually impaired are well executed, Windows 8 could replace popular screen reading solutions such as JAWS from Freedom Scientific, which retails for nearly $900 for the standard version, a cost many blind users can't afford. This could also lead to large computer orders from schools for the blind and other assistance programs for visually impaired people.

out of the ordinary
prayers, poems, and reflections for every season
Thoughts from the Author…
In my early years of ministry as a spiritual director and retreat leader, it seemed like I was always searching for an appropriate prayer or ritual to use with individuals or groups.... Eventually I started writing my own.... During those years I also developed a pattern of sending reflections on various liturgical and seasonal celebrations to my family and friends when I corresponded with them.... Writing and sending the poems and reflections was a great way for me to enter more deeply into each of those occasions because I began listening inside and outside myself long before the day arrived. This practice helped me enter into the heart of those celebrations in a much more focused and meaningful way.
...Each selection does come out of the ordinary ... the commonness of life, for it is there that I experience who I am and how God is with me.
...These prayers are probably not the ordinary ones we would normally use. By offering them, I hope to re-energize our relationship with the divine, to keep it vibrant and alive.... My goal is to revitalize the spiritual blood pulsing through the veins of faith ... to breathe new life into our relationship with the Holy One....
All of these resources contained in Out of the Ordinary are grounded on my firm belief in the indwelling presence of God.... It is in the relationship of the Holy One's "nearness" that I find consolation, inspiration, challenge, and a desire for sturdier commitment. It is this quality of immanence that has helped me to develop greater intimacy with the divine.
A Prayer to Be Free From Tizzies*
Dear God,
you who did not invent tizzies,
be with me when I get caught
in the wild worrying of my mind,
and the needless scurrying around
in my fearful heart.
Trip me up when I fret and stew
so I can see the trap of tizzies,
with their schemes to keep me
bunched up in stress and strain.
Let me fall headfirst into the truth
of your never-ending presence,
wrap your kind arms around me
and calm my doubts and fears.
Shout loudly in my spiritual ear
when my nerves get knotted,
my mind feels cramped,
and my stomach screams.
It may be difficult,
but do try to get my full attention,
because tizzies are not healthy,
and they definitely chase peace
out the front door of my heart.
Dear God, you did not invent tizzies,
I did,
and only I can send them on their way,
and I will,
if you strengthen me
to let go of my anxious hold
on what is nonessential.
---Joyce Rupp
*A tizzy is a "state of frenzied excitement or distraction, especially over some trivial matter" (Webster's New Unabridged Dictionary).

Review Central Maine Community College
Central Maine is really a great place! With the size of campus being smaller, it honestly helps with making a lot of friends on campus as well as getting to know the staff of the school too. There is probably 20-50 students in a class and that makes it a lot easier to learn as an individual. When I went to visit the school it was honestly a beautiful campus at a beautiful location. The size of the campus was perfect for my first year of college! Being really nervous coming in to my freshman year, I ended up loving it! I wasn't overwhelmed with classes, so I felt like I had a better experience. I really enjoyed recognizing a lot of familiar faces all over campus. I played basketball, and the student life really got involved for a smaller campus compared to a D1 or a D2 school. You all feel like a family there, and I loved the overall experience. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!
Central Maine Community College is a local, inexpensive school which offers a great education. The professors at this school are extremely knowledgeable in their subject and are very flexible with getting help. I graduated from the Building Construction Technology program at Central Maine and I'm sure glad I did because when I went into the work force I was prepared for everything that was thrown at me and put on a successful road because of my extensive knowledge background I acquired from CMCC. I have recently been accepted into another 4-year college so I can further my education but I'm glad I took 2 years at CMCC because they really made the transition from high school to college a lot easier.
Go for a year or two and run. They will try to trap you and keep you here forever. Take advantage of the cheap classes, don't stay on campus and don't expect the administration to help you. They are the worst. Especially Betsy LIbby who is dean of achidemic affairs. I've gone to her for help on multiple occasions, and let me say I have never dealt with such a level of unprofessionalism. They will not help you! Terrible. I gave it one extra star because I've had a couple meaningful professors. But it's basically highschool round 2.

When I logged on to Skype to meet Cooly G (aka Merrisa Campbell) in cyberspace, she had her hands full. "im breast feeding," she wrote in the chat box, and so I offered to give her a minute to tend to her new baby girl, Tate-Elizabeth. However, Cooly G is no stranger to multitasking, so a few seconds later she initiated a faceless Skype call to retain some privacy while she dealt with family and business at the same time.
The last few weeks have been hectic for Cooly G: She just moved into a new home in London and released her debut full-length, Playin' Me, on Kode9's prominent Hyperdub label, and with a tour on the horizon there hasn't been much time to spare for the producer/vocalist/DJ. She was scheduled to perform at the Bloc Festival the next day, but due to the disastrous events that took place that evening, the festival was cancelled, and she wasn't able to showcase her new live setup. Audiences will have to wait a little longer before the beatmaker unveils her revamped show, which has been dramatized and adjusted to fit the more personal and un-DJ-like nature of her LP.
Although Cooly G's earlier releases with Hyperdub found her exploring bass-heavy drum patterns, flashing synths and sensual samples of her own voice, Playin' Me steers away from sounds one might hear in a DJ set and toward a singer-songwriter territory. We caught up with the artist to discuss how the sonic shift changed her live set as well as her creative process and public persona.
It sounds like you've got your hands full right now.
Yeah, It's quite normal. It's just how it is, innit.
Will you have time to tour a bit?
I'm going to have this whole month off and then just go for it.
You sing on the album a lot more, so is the show less like a DJ set?
It's not like a DJ set at all. I use Ableton with launch pads and Kaos pads and a couple controllers, and I just rebuild the track live. When I've got to a nice part, I take the mic and go to the front of the stage and start singing. It is quite dramatic because people can't believe that I'm actually singing, so it is quite wild for them.
Do you think it's a bit of a shock for DJ fans to have someone come up and sing and interact with them more?
Not really, no. They've been very welcoming to what I've been doing. It's like a whole new person. It's basically the other other side of me that they haven't seen. All they've seen is this girl who DJs and jumps up and down and makes these banger tunes, and now they actually see me as, as Merrisa, I really would say.
What's the difference between Cooly G and Merrisa?
Cooly G's dramatic. Merrisa's really just this woman that's a mum. That's how I look at it, cuz I don't like people to call me Cooly at my house or anything. But when it comes to the stage, I still feel like Cooly G—that other side. There's a rough side to me, and there's a smooth side to me—it's like the boy and girl in me or something.
Do you think people think you're a bad bitch because you make harder tunes?
[Laughs] Yeah, I know, it's terrible, because sometimes I'll get messages and emails like, "I'm scared of you, but I like you." I'm like, "Oh my days, I'm actually quite nice and normal," but they just think I'm crazy because of my tunes. I'm not going to say I've been the happiest all the time—I've got little things going on, know what I mean? So when I make those hard tunes, I might have been pissed off or angry, or I might've watched an old-school film with Tupac and gotten a bit hyped and think I'm a gangster. It's really just vibes from how I live my life.
Do you think other Hyperdub artists, or even other experimental artists, get a similar reaction?
Ooh, I dunno. I don't have an answer to that.
A bit of what I'm getting at does have to do with you being a woman. I'm wondering if people think you're hard or a bad bitch because they're not used to seeing a woman making beats.
Yeah, I think most people do think that. You do have problems being a female—I've met people at shows and stuff who think it's all about them, but when they see this bad bitch, they're like, "Oh my days, this one's for real."
A lot of the DJ shows I go to out here in New York are overwhelmingly male-dominated. Is it like that out in London?
Yeah. I like to see girls at shows; I'm like, "Oh my God, it's girls—ah!" I can't believe they're there because you see so many men at shows, but yeah. It's always like that. I just pictured a club in Brixton, and it's like packed up with girls. Guys come for the girls, and then they realize, "Oh my days, these beats are sick," and so it becomes a regular night, and then it goes on and on and on. So it kind of built up from girls going out to just have fun for the weekend, and then it ended up being like that.
Do you think this album is more overtly feminine than stuff you have done in the past?
Yeah, it is. It definitely is. It's about a relationship, and it breaks down, and it all goes wrong. The first song actually starts from before my son was born, before I got pregnant. Basically it's like a journey all the way through. It's deeper than these little tunes that have a title on it or people listening and going, "Oh my days, that tune's sick" or "Oh, I like that bit. Her drum patterns are really sick." It's actually deeper. It's situations all the way from 2005 till now. Lyrically, the storyline of "He Said, I Said" is from back then. I still think about that shit because I'm here looking after my kids on my own, innit, and it's deeper than what people think. It's a bit wild, but I'm happy, my son's happy, and my new baby's happy.
Is it true that you're writing a book?
Can you tell me a little about that?
It's quite deep, it'll make me cry if I start talking about it, but I can kind of say a little bit. It's like…when I started wanting to do music and stuff like that, and the stuff I had to go through and the people that would lie, the people that would try to use me and stuff like that…it's for young women as well, not just about music, but just trying to do something with their lives and knowing that they should listen to their parents, innit, because I didn't listen to my parents at one point, and—Nas, go away! Goodbye, please, please go away.
Nas: I want to see.
Cooly: It's a picture of a dog! Say hello. It's a woman. Say "Hi, Elissa."
Nas: [In a funny robot voice] Hi, Elissa.
Cooly: All right, go sit down now. Let me finish this. Yeah, it's just about situations or moments where I didn't like my friends and I would write about them. Just stuff, like weird shit, man. It is quite deep. There's things that's happened to me in there that I don't really want to discuss, but it will be in the book, innit. I might just leave it for my son to release.

2 cups baby kale leaves
1/2 cup baby wild arugula leaves
1/2 cup micro red sorrel leaves
4 large red radishes
1 large shallot
1 small head Belgian endive
1 small bulb fennel
1 tablespoon each chopped fresh chervil leaves, chives, tarragon leaves, and Italian parsley leaves
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Date Compote (LINK TO DATE COMPOTE RECIPE)
4 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons well-aged (preferably 50 years) balsamic vinegar
Feel free to substitute the baby and micro greens for other tiny greens you might prefer.
Sort through, trim, and thoroughly rinse the kale, arugula, and sorrel. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Pile the greens into a large salad bowl. Trim the radishes. With a mandoline or a small, sharp knife, cut them into the thinnest possible slices. Put the slices in a bowl of ice-cold water to soak and turn crisp. Trim the shallot and cut it crosswise with the mandoline or knife into the thinnest possible slices. Put them in a separate bowl of ice water. Trim the Belgian endive and cut it into thin matchstick-sized strips. Do the same with the fennel bulb. Add the endive and fennel to the leaves in the salad bowl, along with the chervil, chives, tarragon, and parsley. Drain the radishes and shallot thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Add them to the salad bowl. Put the lemon juice in a small mixing bowl. Add the sugar and the salt and pepper to taste and stir with a whisk until the sugar and salt dissolve. Whisking continuously, drizzle in the olive oil to form an emulsion. Toss the salad ingredients with enough of the lemon juice dressing to coat them lightly but thoroughly. Arrange the salad mixture attractively on individual chilled serving plates. Garnish with small spoonfuls of the Date Compote, sprinkle with the sliced toasted almonds, and drizzle lightly with aged balsamic vinegar.
Serve immediately.

se Cardenas: Anthony Robles is a living example of determination and perseverance to never give up. He won the 2010-2011 NCAA individual wrestling championship, is a three-time all-American athlete, a hall Of famer, and the 2011 Recipient of the Jimmy V Award for perseverance at the Espy's. Joining me tonight is Anthony Robles. Welcome back to "Horizonte." You were on a little over a year ago. This is before the book but after your remarkable Victories and championship at the NCAA. You had been, though, on the Espy's already. And I kind of wanted to start there with the poem you read at the end of that presentation. We are going to roll it on the screen because it is also part of your book. We will bring that up on the screen now to have you -- I think this was at the end of your presentation.
Anthony Robles: This is my message. Every soul who comes to earth with a leg or two at birth must wrestle his opponents knowing it is not what is, it is what can be that measures worth. Make it hard, just make it possible, and through pain I'll not complain, my spirit is unconquerable, fearless I will face each foe -- through blood, sweat, and tears, I am unstoppable. Thank you.
Jose Cardenas: And that is the essence of the book.
Anthony Robles: It is. And really that was my main purpose of writing the book. Wanted to put all of my life challenges in a form where someone could read it and maybe if they are going through similar challenges it will help inspire them that they --
Jose Cardenas: You inspired quite a few people by the book itself. Condoleezza Rice, Ladamien Tomlinson, and an introduction by Jay Leno.
Anthony Robles: Such an amazing honor to have those people endorsing my book. Jay Leno --
Jose Cardenas: he introduced you.
Anthony Robles: He helped to settle me down a little bit. He said relax, have fun with it. We hit off a friendship. Amazing honor to have him right the forward in my book. So --
Jose Cardenas: We said the poem is the essence of the theme of the book. Another big part of the book is your mom. I mean, in many ways this is her story. And I know you -- the two of you are very close. There is some pictures that we have of you with her. Tell us about it.
Anthony Robles: My mom is very special to me. She had me when I was 16 years old. No idea I would be born missing my leg. For quite awhile she was a single parent. That is a tough situation to be in. A young mom, kid missing his leg.
Jose Cardenas: She still looks very young.
Anthony Robles: I get that a lot. She pass as my sister all of the time. A special lady, very self-less, and she always raised me to where I believe I can do anything I can set my mind to. I didn't think I had a missing limb an a handicap to me. I didn't think I was disabled.
Jose Cardenas: In the book, you talk about an incident very early in your life, her parents, your grandparents, thought she was not up to the job of taking care of a child because she didn't seem to fully appreciate what that meant and they offered to raise you, adopt you, and she said no.
Anthony Robles: I think that was really the wake-up call for my moms. When my grandparents, God bless them, offered to raise me. That is when my mom sat down, I'm a mom, it is time to be a mom. She jumped into it 100%. I was blessed with a great mom. My number one fan. My main support system. Just to have her there always encouraging me, never second-guessing me or causing me to second-guess myself, I couldn't ask for more.
Jose Cardenas: It is clear from the book, as difficult as some of the situations for you, they were pretty tough on her, too. How she felt when she would be out with you in public. You mentioned one incident, there is a wrestling match when you are very young and a woman in the stands laughing at you.
Anthony Robles: My mom talks about that. That is another interesting part of the book. I got to see and hear my mom's perspective about things we went through. She was very protective, and at the same time she knew that -- she needed to let me go out on my own and experience those times with heartache and failure because it would make me stronger. All along the way she was supporting me. You can make it through. You have to do it. You have to figure it out on your own but you can make it and I am here for you.
Jose Cardenas: Another part of the book, you discussed the efforts to give you a prosthetic leg, and how that didn't work out.
Anthony Robles: I just remember, I was about five years old, and the technology wasn't nearly what it is today. And so it was just a big heavy piece of wood. Whenever I put it on, I could barely move around and I hated it. Whenever my mom wasn't looking I would try to take it off and hide it and hope that she would forget. She kind of eventually left it up to me. I chose the crutches. It was better for me. Because of wrestling, it started to build my upper body for more my sport.
Jose Cardenas: Did it make you stand out more in school, you were the kid with only one leg?
Anthony Robles: It definitely did. I remember the sound that my crutches used to make, clicking noise. I was embarrassed by it. I tried to walk around real quiet. After awhile I didn't care anymore. This is who I was, I couldn't change it and I am going to be proud of who I am. Because of the positive surrounding at home, it made it that much easier. Not to say I didn't go through the tough times, teasing, and bullying, but I was strong because of my family and because of my mom.
Jose Cardenas: And you also insisted on really no special consideration. You talk in the book about racing on the crutches, running with the rest of the team. Going uphills, college wrestling coach said you didn't have to do it but you insisted on doing it anyway.
Anthony Robles: Absolutely. It was always a thing to where I wanted to show my teammates that I could do anything that they could do. I didn't want to take the easy way out and earn their respect. To do that I had to be sweating and bleeding alongside of them. We had to run a few miles with a 45 pound plate strapped to our back. Coach said I didn't have to. I wanted to show them I am there with you. I can do this. I can figure out a way. That was how I was raised. Just figure out a way to get thing done.
Jose Cardenas: So much of the become is about relationships. We have talked about your relationship with your mom. You had a difficult relationship with your stepdad.
Anthony Robles: I did. I love my stepdad and I know he loves me, too. A lot of struggles. Him coming and going into my life and my mom's life and just abandoning her. It was a tough time. It made me a stronger person. I know when I have my family what I don't want to do. I did learn things as well. I had a great mom, three little brothers and a sister and a high school coach who was a father figure to me as well.
Jose Cardenas: You had some great friends on the teams who really helped you develop as a person and as a wrestler.
Anthony Robles: Absolutely. A good friend of mine in high school, Chris, state champion, he was the first guy there helping me in my goal of becoming a champion. He treated me like a little brother and showed me how to work hard and how to get to that next level. We're still great friends today. We train together. I couldn't have gotten to college and won that championship without him.
Jose Cardenas: You talked a little bit about your high school coach. He sounds like such a unique individual. You mention in the book one of the things he did which was to tie his legs together so that he could have a sense for what it was like for you to wrestle and be able to teach you how to wrestle with just one leg.
Anthony Robles: Yeah, he was awesome. It was pretty neat because from day one when I walked into the wrestling room, he treated me like I was a state champion. I wasn't some poor kid missing his leg. He helped me believe in my abilities. You have your strengths. We have to figure out what those are and we will build a style to compliment that. He would do things like that, figure out how I wrestle -- we build something unique that people had never seen before and it worked to my advantage. He was a father figure than a coach. He would talk to me. How are you doing in school? We need to get you in college. This is what you need to be doing. I learned so much about life from him and I will be forever grateful.
Jose Cardenas: In terms of your wrestling technique, there is a lot of stuff in the book about different key crucial matches during your career, high school, college. Part of it was the development of hamstrings.
Anthony Robles: It was, for my style, he said you have to use your upper body. You have to be able to control guys and to do that you need good grip strength, good hand strength. He would design unique workouts for me to do. A tennis ball, squeezing it in each hand. Hang from a pull up guard for six minutes to build up the strength in my arms. Little things like that slowly started to improve my strength. I would rip newspapers and crumble them back up. It built me up and it worked for our style and now I actually got to the point where people feared my grip strength. Something that they couldn't get away from.
Jose Cardenas: You had people complaining about you're having just one leg and the upper body strength that you had as being an advantage to you. And I think there is a section in the book where you talk about Jim making fun of those people. Maybe you can recreate that scene.
Anthony Robles: Yeah Jim Rome--
Jose Cardenas: Talking about the sportscaster.
Anthony Robles: He was just saying how could a kid with one leg have an advantage? That doesn't make sense. He is missing a leg. He has one less limb, how could that be an advantage? It was funny, when I started wrestling, no one saw it as an advantage. They felt sorry for me, and didn't think I could compete with everybody else. As I started to progress, it seemed like a target was growing on my back, people were trying to find reasons to pick at me. It discouraged me but in a way I felt I was accomplishing my goal. I did not want to be the one-legged wrestler or the handicap wrestler, but I just wanted to be the best, the champion, and people were starting to see me as that and they were tying to pick at it.
Jose Cardenas: The book talks about triumphing in many instances over people who had beaten you before. And one of those, I think, was the -- ultimately the NCAA championship match where you came out on top.
Anthony Robles: And that was a really fulfilling match for me. My junior season, I was upset in the quarter finals. The guy who beat me went on to the finals and lost to the eventual national champion. I remember sitting there with tears in my eyes watching them wrestle each other, I should be there. That should be my title. I ripped the newspaper article out of the national champ and put it in my locker. I have to train to beat him today to get better and to have that opportunity to wrestle him and kind of get some payback and come out with this ring it was a perfect ending, a dream come true for me. Perfect ending for me.
Jose Cardenas: The book, the cover picture was taken by Randy Johnson, former star of the Diamondbacks and the Yankees. What led you to write the book?
Anthony Robles: Well, for me it was an amazing opportunity after I won nationals. I had gotten into motivational speaking, but when you are speaking, you only talk for about 45 minutes. I couldn't really share my whole life story and put it out there. So, the book was a great way for me -- my whole life story, things that I was uncomfortable, my weaknesses, times when I did fail and did fall down, and I wanted to put that out there so that people could see you don't have to have the perfect life. Things don't have to always be easy for you to get out on top in the end. You can't let the challenge become an excuse. I was hoping that by putting everything out there, it could help inspire someone, and if it changes one person's life for the better, that makes it all worth it.
Jose Cardenas: I understand the book came out in September and it is heading towards the best seller list.
Anthony Robles: It has been an amazing journey. 6 1/2 week book tour and it should be hitting some best seller lists soon.
Jose Cardenas: And a Movie is in the works.
Anthony Robles: It is in the works. Negotiating the final things. They keep asking me who I want it play myself, and I tell them Denzel. But they seem to think he is a little too old for me.
Jose Cardenas: He is too old. I'm sure he would admit it. Is your career as a wrestler over?
Anthony Robles: I'm not sure just yet. Focusing on my career and still training, definitely missing the competition. Looking at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil as a possibility, but I will wait until things settle down with the movie and things and make a decision then. I don't want to jump back in unless it is 100%.
Jose Cardenas: Congratulations on the book, good luck on the movie, and thank you for joining us on "Horizonte." Pleasure to have you here.
Anthony Robles: Thank you for having me.

text: Toast of London series 2 teasers: acting in high winds and more Clem Fandango Toast co-writer Arthur Mathews drops hints as to what to expect from the new series Comments Written By David Crawford 12:16 PM, 13 May 2014 Channel 4's cult comedy about the misadventures of fruity jobbing actor Stephen Toast (played by Matt Berry) is due to return for a second series later this year and its co-creator Arthur Mathews told RadioTimes.com a little of what we can expect. The first titbit he reveals is a typically absurd storyline: "We discover that he [Stephen Toast] is Britain's second best actor acting in high wind. The leading British actor, who's really great (not Brian Blessed as you might think, he must have been too obvious), gets blown away and Toast steps into the breach. "It's good for castle ramparts – Shakespearean stuff – and ships, you know Trafalgar and that, but also, he's very good acting under landing helicopters. He discovers he has a real talent for doing that – like 'Ah, the Prime Minister has returned from the G7 summit.'" Fans of the regular scenes in which Toast struggles to record voiceover work, will be pleased to hear there will be more awkward exchanges with unbearably trendy producer Clem Fandango (played by Shazad Latif): "Clem is onboard. I think the plan is to do some more extra studio stuff and put it on the internet," says Matthews. "I always like those scenes, they're pretty foolproof. Clem Fandango and [sound engineer] Danny Bear are such great characters." Toast of London is expected to return to Channel 4 in the autumn. Follow @RadioTimes Like this? Share it.

Philip Bacon has finally brought home the Heysen – the self-portrait by the Australian artist that the Queensland Art Gallery has always lusted after.
The Brisbane dealer and major QAG benefactor funded the purchase of the painting, which dates from the year
"It's a very fine portrait of Nora in what was the year of independence, the year of triumph," says QAG head of Australian art Julie Ewington. "There had been a lot of criticism of her around the Archibald, claims of favouritism, as the young daughter of a famous male painter. But what we see in this painting is a young woman who is going to make her way in the world as a painter. It's an austere, confident gaze."
Klepac helped source the painting, bought privately from long-standing friends of the Heysen family. "It's the second time we have tried to get a painting by Nora Heysen and in the best fairytale tradition, we got the one we had wanted all along," Ewington says.
It is one of two works recently bought for the gallery by its benefactors. The second, Lucile, a 1937 portrait by Peter Purves Smith of fellow George Bell School alumni Lucile Stephens, was bought with funds raised by the gallery foundation. The painting at one point belonged to Lady Maisie Drysdale, wife of the painter Russell Drysdale, who had been married to Purves Smith before his untimely death at 37 in 1949 as a result of tuberculosis contracted during the war. All four had been students together at the Melbourne art school.
The purchase, which will hang alongside a 1941 self-portrait by James Gleeson, is timely given the QAG's current Surrealism exhibition and the strong influence the movement exerted on Purves Smith.
"It was just good timing for us," Ms Ewington said. "It's very hard to find serious Australian surrealist works, given the [Agapitos/Wilson major surrealism collection] was given to the National Gallery of Australia."

Forklift Safety
Powered industrial trucks, commonly called forklifts or lift trucks, are used in many industries, primarily to move materials. They can also be used to raise, lower, or remove large objects or a number of smaller objects on pallets or in boxes, crates, or other containers. Powered industrial trucks can either be ridden by the operator or controlled by a walking operator. Over-the-road haulage trucks and earth-moving equipment that has been modified to accept forks are not considered powered industrial trucks.
There are many types of powered industrial trucks. Each type presents different operating hazards. A sit-down, counterbalanced high-lift rider truck is more likely than a motorized hand truck to be involved in a falling load accident because the sit-down rider truck can lift a load much higher than a hand truck. Workplace type and conditions are also factors in hazards commonly associated with powered industrial trucks. For example, retail establishments often face greater challenges than other worksites in maintaining pedestrian safety. Beyond that, many workers can also be injured when (1) lift trucks are inadvertently driven off loading docks; (2) lifts fall between docks and an unsecured trailer; (3) they are struck by a lift truck; or (4) they fall while on elevated pallets and tines.
It is a violation of Federal law for anyone UNDER 18 years of age to operate a forklift or for anyone OVER 18 years of age who is not properly trained and certified to do so.
Employers must ensure that each powered industrial truck operator is competent to operate a powered industrial truck safely, as demonstrated by the successful completion of the training and evaluation specified in 29 CFR 1910.178(l)(1). Every type of establishment (except agricultural operations) who have employees that operate powered industrial trucks have to comply with the requirements of OSHA 1910.178(i). The standard is intended to reduce the number of injuries and deaths that occur as a result of inadequate operator training.
Benefits of Training
- Improve productivity

This is Steven Crowder and he's a regular Fox News contributor. Why is this man smiling? Because he got punched in the face at the Michigan union rally and got it all on tape:
Boy, those liberal union types sure are violent! Fox has used the phrase "union thugs" about 40 million times in the last couple of days. But there's a problem with this video; it leaves out the part where Crowder knocks the guy to ground before he gets punched in the face. Here's the unedited video, ironically from The Sean Hannity Show (skip to 1:20):

Joe Hurley is a London-bred, Irish-Blooded New Yorker who has performed over 1,000 shows in the USA. Called "the best singer of vowels in rock since Shane Macgowa"' by the Village Voice, he is widely heralded for both the emotional delivery in his gravel-throated baritone, and his finely-tuned sense of lyrical detail. The critically acclaimed singer songwriter is the leader of two NYC groups, Rogue's March, and Joe Hurley & The Gents.
Never Fear, the debut CD from Rogue's March that features the infamous ode to imbibing, "Shut up and Drink" (The NY Post called it "a New York Irish anthem") and the Christmas heartbreaker "Amsterdam Mistress," remains a permanent fixture on jukeboxes across the country. "Amsterdam Mistress" is featured on the new Sony Records CD, Whiskey In The Jar ;Irish Drinking Songs and Singalongs along with classics from the Pogues, The Dubliners and the Clancy Brothers, and has been called "one of the most evocative ballads ever penned" by the Irish Voice.
With Rogue's March, Hurley has released several CDs, toured with Flogging Molly and Cracker, and appeared on the main stage on both the Guinness Fleadhs (with the Chieftains and Sinead O'Connor) and the Warped Tour, where the band's NY appearance garnered a full-page feature in the NY Post. Hurley's tune "Madcap Tears" off the band's Chaser CD has been featured in the Captain Morgan's Rum TV ads worldwide for two years now, and his songs have appeared in numerous feature films including the forthcoming Christmas release Beautiful Kid starring Pulitzer- Prize winning author Frank McCourt. Many of the band's songs can be heard nationally on Sirius Satellite Radio, where the group has also performed live in studio.
In NYC, the band play to packed houses at Webster Hall and The Bowery Ballroom, while Hurley has performed solo everywhere from Central Park Summerstage (with the Nick Drake Orchestra) to Lincoln Centre, and most recently at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, where his onstage guests honoring Marc Bolan included Moby, Patti Smith and Lloyd Cole.
Hurley has also released two live CDs with New York's famed Downtown ensemble The Loser's Lounge, a stirring collection of his versions of songs from Johnny Cash, David Bowie, Nilsson, Serge Gainsbourg and more, with the New York Times writing, "Some performances stood out. Hurley's raw interpretation of 'All I Think About Is You' conjured up closing time in a graveyard bar." Hurley has sung at hundreds of sold-out shows with the group, and will help them celebrate their 15 year Anniversary this December.
Hurley's London upbringing led to a life-long passion for West Ham FC and he wrote and recorded the song "Bleeding Claret and Blue" for the team's historic appearance in the 2006 FA CUP Final. The song has been adopted by Supporters Club websites across the world, and was recently played immediately prior to the National Anthems in the Columbus, OH Crew Stadium when West Ham appeared in an Exhibition Match there this summer.
Hurley has performed duets with a dizzyingly diverse array of singers, from Marianne Faithfull to Shane MacGowan, from the Queen of Cabaret Andrea Marcovicci to her heir apparent Maude Maggart, from Martha Wainwright to The Mekons's Sally Timms, from his ex-girlfriend Nellie McKay to the beehive queen Christine Ohlman, and he has sung on records produced by legendary producer Tony Visconti and PJ Harvey. Hurley's bands are also always full of exciting NY luminaries, often featuring Tony Shanahan and Jay Dee Daugherty of the Patti Smith Group and James Mastro, the guitarist with Ian Hunter. Hurley and Band recently headlined NYC's Riverside Park Music Festival for the 4th year in a row, and upcoming shows include a string of festivals across the Northeast and Midwest. October will see Hurley take the stage at The Public Theater in NY, for the Joe's Pub 10th Anniversary Concert, with Judy Collins, Jimmy Webb, Rufus Wainwright and others.
Hurley performs annually in NJ at Glen Burtnik's Xmas Xtravaganza Charity Concert, held at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, where last December he performed "Amsterdam Mistress" alongside guests including Ian Hunter and Debbie Harry. He also joined Burtnik and Marshall Crenshaw at the NJ State Theater this summer, for a sold-out concert celebrating The Beatles' White Album. Recently Hurley performed with The Gents at a benefit concert for the Animal Rescue League at the Hiro Ballroom (with the Beastie Boys) and at Webster Hall for his 9th Annual All-Star Irish Rock Revue benefiting the Save St Brigid's Campaign. Hurley's Irish Rock Revue (NY stars singing the Great Irish Songbook) is 'the most celebrated event of the St Patrick's Season in NYC and will celebrate its 10th Anniversary next March with a Gala Concert and the release of a documentary film about the show.
Hurley is currently recording a new CD, which is slated for international release in the Spring of 2009. The record features the music-hall flavored crowd favorite "Irish Breakfast In A Greek Diner", and will host an eclectic mix of piano ballads and stinging rock and roll, including songs co-written with Steve Wynn and Tony Visconti.
"A wildly diverse act that manages to sew threads of punk, country, and cabaret into an astonishingly cohesive sound..showcasing a star powered frontman in Joe Hurley" - Billboard Magazine
"Joe Hurley is one of New York's most entertaining frontmen-his distinctive vocals can be raucous as all-get out and as sorrowful as a baritone can be." - Village Voice
"The best singer of vowels in rock since Shane MacGowan"- Village Voice

Thunder Swamp Trail
The Thunder Swamp Trail System provides a 45-mile network of interconnecting hiking trails. Built by the Youth Conservation Corps during the 1970's, the trail continues to provide a variety of hiking opportunities.
The main trail, blazed in orange, has been designated as a State Forest Hiking Trail. Special protection is given to the trail corridor to provide the hiker with a quality experience.
Following the trail loops, you can view the Pocono Mountains in detail. You will encounter gradual changes of elevation, experience the dryness of ridgetops, the coolness of the wetlands and streams, and witness an array of native plants and animals.
The Thunder Swamp Trail System crosses numerous ridges, valleys, and follows the contours of wetlands. The trail surface is often wet, uneven and rocky. A hiking boot which affords ankle protection and reduces water penetration is recommended.
The trail is maintained by the Keystone Trails Association and the Pocono Outdoor Club in cooperation with the Delaware State Forest District.

Map Layers
This map indicates formations that may have acid-forming minerals, primarily pyrite. Although this map is useful for general planning and preliminary site studies, it does not substitute for site-specific subsurface investigations of the rock units that will be disturbed through excavation, mining, or drilling. The map indicates geologic units and points that may have the potential to generate acid drainage (AD). It of course does not guarantee that AD will occur or conversely, that AD cannot occur in other areas and formations not shown on this map. The occurrence of AD, therefore, is not restricted to the areas delineated on the map.
Bedrock geology units are based on digital compilations by Miles and Whitfield, 2001 (see map text for references). Map rock formation color does not imply "risk" or potential of acid drainage, but only represents different geologic units.
Conemaugh Group. Includes the Casselman and Glenshaw Formations, and the Conemaugh Formation of the Broadtop coal region in northeastern Bedford and southern Huntingdon Counties. Although typically not as problematic as other coal-bearing units, the Conemaugh can produce acid drainage.
Monongahela Group and Waynesburg Formation. Includes known problematic coals such as the Pittsburgh and Waynesburg coals (and underclays), and the Sewickley coals, which can also have acidic drainage.
Allegheny Formation. Includes problematic coals such as the Clarion, Lower Kittanning, and Middle Kittanning coals. Fewer problems occur with the Upper Kittanning and Freeport coals.
Pottsville Formation, in western Pennsylvania, and Pottsville and Allegheny Formations, undivided, in north-central Pennsylvania. Especially east and southeast of the plateau along the Allegheny Front; includes the Mercer coals, which can be problematic. Calcareous minerals are rare in the Pottsville.
Burgoon Formation, in north-central Pennsylvania and along the Allegheny Front.
The Tuscarora Formation in Huntingdon, Bedford, Blair, and Centre Counties, and in the Metal Township area, Franklin County.
The Bald Eagle Formation along Bald Eagle ridge in Centre County
The top of Ridgeley Formation through base of Marcellus Formation (including the Onondaga Formation). Map units shown are the Ridgeley member of the Old Port Formation, Onondaga Formation, Onondaga and Old Port Formations, undivided, and the Hamilton Group, but only the top of the Ridgeley and the base of the Marcellus are targets.
The anthracite coal fields in eastern Pennsylvania (includes the Pottsville and Llewellyn Formations).
In the Carbon and Monroe Counties area, the top of Palmerton Sandstone through base of Marcellus Formation, Carbon County. Map units include Buttermilk Falls Limestone through Esopus Formation, undivided, and the Marcellus Formation, but only the top of Palmerton Sandstone and the base of Marcellus Formation are targets.
The base of Hardyston Formation in Lehigh County. All of the Hardyston Formation in Lehigh County is shown.
The Pickering Gneiss. Map unit is the graphitic felsic gneiss.
The map also includes these other layers:
- Areas declared by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to be unsuitable for mining because of the potential for abandoned mine drainage
- Streams affected by abandoned mine drainage due to pH and metals
- Streams impaired by abandoned mine drainage from 1998 to 2004 with problems listed as including pH and/or metals, DEP, 2004
- Point locations of potentially significant sulfide mineralization based on published and unpublished information, Pennsylvania Geological Survey
- Preliminary landform subdivisions of Pennsylvania
- Late Wisconsinan glacial border
Original map scale is 1:500,000. The map is not intended to be used for detailed or site-specific analyses, nor is it intended to be used at any scale finer than 1:250,000 (for example, use at 1:24,000 or 1:100,00 scales is inappropriate).
