Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/6/2014 (1144 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Nearly 700 runners participated in this year's YMCA Spring Run on Sunday, May 25, an event that grows bigger each year.
"We've grown considerably in the last years, which is awesome," said YMCA health and fitness director Cindie Dunn.
The event, now in its 35th year, had a record-breaking 687 registered participants. They also added a relay run this year with a few participants, but it's something organizers would like to see grow.
More than 10 school groups with more than 200 runners participated in the event, including a 63-person group from Dauphin.
"We had a few groups from Dauphin, we have some that will travel from Saskatchewan and one lady all the way from Toronto," she said. "And we have in the past had people from coast to coast come participate."
The landscape at the start and finish line is also a little different this year with the old YMCA building now levelled — a piece of land which will soon be transformed into a parking lot and green space.
The race which consists of two five-kilometre loops has remained similar in recent years and Dunn said there's no plan to change it up.
The event traditionally raises about $16,000 per year — money that goes to the Y's Strong Kids Campaign which provides access to the Y to children who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it.
"The Strong Kids Campaign is a much stronger force with the dollars coming in, but the event continues to grow and with such strong sponsorship, we hope it'll continue to grow," Dunn said.
Ryan Lamont came in first place in the 10-kilometre event with a time of 37 minutes and nine seconds; Kevin Enns led the 15-km race with a time of 1:14:10; and in the 20-km event, Thomas Eros took top spot with a time of 1:27:43.
In the five-kilometre race, Drew Barclay won the men's/boy's nine-and-under age group event in 25:07; Burke Erickson in the 10-14 in 20:52; Riley Peyachew in the 15-19 in 19:14; Eric Henderson in the 20-29 in 17:46; Sean Wojnarski in the 30-39 in 21:38; Rainer Schira in the 40-49 in 24:13; Gary McNeely in the 50-59 in 22:34; and Ken Gibb, the only participant in the 60-69 age category, finished in 34:37.
On the women's side, Madelyn Bootsman won the nine-and-under category in 32:50; Jordyn Erickson in the 10-14 in 24:51; Sophie Harasymchuk in the 15-19 in 22:37; Tessa Geurts in the 20-29 in 22:32; Hollie Wells in the 30-39 in 24:01; Karen Woodrow in the 40-49 in 24:07; and Jill Gray in the 50-59 in 27:27.

@Merrystar: did this require removing the admin rights of myself and ErzaTitaniaScarlet or the bureaucrat rights of CoolPikachu and Sorasky? It does not appear that Abetakaya or YumekoChanny requested this to happen. Considering the work we put into building the place it doesn't seem right. I don't oppose A/Y being admins, would've promoted them myself if I'd been aware of it and able too (since I neither ETS or I formally adopted, having been given admin rights by the crats) but don't see why giving them this authority requires stripping others of it. Our inactivity I think was largely due to our seeing the wiki as being relatively complete or informative enough. Couldn't all 6 of us be co-bureaucrats and only strip authority if there is abuse of it? talk2ty 02:15, October 5, 2015 (UTC)

The Best Climbing Skins for Backcountry Skiing
What are the best climbing skins for your backcountry skis? In the world of backcountry and ski mountaineering, climbing skins are more than mystifying. From choosing to using, skins are finicky, strange, and little understood. They are incredibly useful, ultra simple, but quite nuanced. We assembled a comprehensive overview and comparative review of the absolute best skins on the market. We covered hundreds of thousands of feet of real backcountry terrain in order to summarize for you what will work best.

Analysis and Award Winners
Product Update - Spring 2017
Black Diamond replaced out favorite skins, the Glidelite Mohair Mix, with a brand new product. We detail the differences between the older model and its successor side-by-side in the individual review.
Best Overall Climbing Skins for Backcountry Skiing
Black Diamond Glidelite Mix STS
Material has tendency to peel/roll, which allows snow and debris to get between skin and ski
New Version AvailableThe Black Diamond Glidelite Mix STS skin offers a near-perfect balance of grip, glide, packability, and glue integrity. The fabric side is a blend of nylon for durability and mohair to keep the weight down while enhancing glide. There are skins that grip and glide better, and skins that will last longer, but there are no products that strike a balance that works better for average backcountry ski tourers. BD sells this basic design in an array of options to fit your needs. You can get them with just a tip loop and cut them to length and width yourself. You can get them with tip and tail connectors, cut to length, and all you need do is cut them to width. And there is an option in between. These skins offer the best glue in the business and the ability to work with any pair of skis you may own.
Black Diamond discontinued the Glidelite Mohair Mix, replacing it in their line of skins with the Glidelite Mix STS, pictured above. The new model utilizes a new glue compound and flaunts a new look. More details are in the individual review!

Best Bang for the Buck
Black Diamond Ascension Nylon
Ascension was making some of the best skins available back in the 1990s. Black Diamond bought the company and beefed up the fabric but didn't change the glue. This is a good thing. The stiff, heavy fabric of the Black Diamond Ascension Nylon, backed up by magical glue, serves to create a user-friendly, ultra durable, forgiving product. It is the heaviest design we tested, but also the least expensive. You can configure the Ascension at initial purchase however you like, for the absolute best bargain, with little to no compromise in performance, choose those with only a tip loop, and cut them to length and width yourself. These skins are widely available throughout the US, even under different brands. Notably, Voile sells ski and split board skins under their own brand that, as best we can tell, are exactly the same as the Ascension Nylon skins we tested.
Good durability
Heavy and bulky
Disappointing gliding ability

Top Pick for High Performance on Skis With Tip and Tail Holes
La Sportiva LS Tour Skin
Of all the skins we tested, even other Pomoca skins the La Sportiva LS Tour Skin has the best performance in absolute terms. It grips well, glides well, and the glue strikes just the right balance. The tip and tail kit is intuitive and easy. If you have La Sportiva skis, choosing the La Sportiva branded skins is a no brainer. La Sportiva licenses the tip and tail attachment from K2. If you have K2 skis similar in dimensions to any La Sportiva model, we recommend La Sportiva skins. (Unfortunately, we did not test K2 skins. With the variation in what is available from Pomoca, we cannot extrapolate that K2 skins perform like LS Tour skins). For those who fit the mold, the LS Tour skins are an excellent product.
Satisfactory overall performance across all metrics
Only compatible with Sportiva or K2 skis
Read full review: La Sportiva LS Tour Skin
Top Pick for Maximum Grip
G3 High Traction
The G3 High Traction is by far the most unique product in our test. As such, it is a clear contender for a Top Pick award. We grant this award to niche products that perform very well and the G3 High Traction offers greater grip. This grip comes at the cost of significant reduction in glide, as well as a heavier and bulkier packed form. The glue is just right, while the tip and tail kit is the best among the universally compatible skins. If you ski and skin in zones where pre set skin tracks are just that steep (Utah's Wasatch, we're talking to you) and you find yourself slipping backwards often, this can be a good choice for you. Before you drop coin on this specialized product, however, know that these skins are slower on the glide. The resistance is significant. Technique, as is often the case, can trump equipment when it comes to skinning grip. Technique, however, will never make big grippy skins glide better. You've been warned, but you'll probably still snap these skins up. Enjoy!
Awesome traction
Poor glide

Analysis and Test Results
For backcountry skiers, especially those new to the sport, choosing climbing skins is often an afterthought. Many times, it is simplest to just go with the skins that the manufacturer sells with the skis. Other times, the consumer just goes with what it cheapest or from the most familiar brand. For the most part, all skins on the market are worthy, but we feel that this casual choice can be improved considerably. Some skins are overall better than others, while some are purpose built for certain conditions and circumstances.
Before we dive into the market and our assessment of the available products, allow us to clarify some terminology and concepts. In this review we are covering backcountry skiing climbing skins. These are all strips of fabric built to temporarily stick onto the base of backcountry skis for ascending wilderness ski slopes. The fabric is woven with directional nap. Fibers protrude to the snow side of the skin, laying all in the same direction. These fibers allow for forward shuffle while gripping against backward slides. The opposite side of the skin, the side touching the ski, is a sticky-but-not-too-sticky glue. This stuff is pure magic. It remains permanently affixed to the skin, sticks to the ski mostly as you need, and pulls away easily. It does this hundreds if not thousands of times with little to no maintenance. Straight-up magic.
Types of Climbing Skins
In our testing, we first pored over the entire market to narrow our selection. The skin market is especially confusing because of the branding and licensing web. There are actually far fewer skin manufacturers than there are skin brands. Many skins sold by ski brands are actually manufactured by other companies. This means that some competing ski brands are selling the same skins under their brand.
Further mystifying the world of climbing skins is the different materials used on the fabric side and on the glue side. Every season there is some new revolutionary fabric or glue technology that promises to change the whole backcountry industry. We've seen these innovations come and go, and we are just as anxious as anyone for something that marks a true improvement, but we have found that the tried and true formula of fabric, backing, and traditional glue is still the best. For this test, even though there is yet another crop of "new and improved" skin technology coming available, we have limited our selection to the proven designs.
Within these proven designs, accounting for the various brand and manufacturing differences, it is still quite possible to distinguish performance differences. The fabric side dictates the grip and glide characteristics of the skin, while the glue side determines the reliability and ease of use. Glue formulations are largely proprietary with some apparent regional differences. Companies generally equip skins for North American use with stickier glue than those for European use, for instance. Our assessment and descriptions of the glue are largely qualitative and performance based. On the fabric side, we have a little bit more data at our disposal for preliminary assessment and to assist with your shopping. Basically, the fabric part of a skin is comprised of either synthetic nylon or natural mohair, or a blend of the two. Nylon is more durable, grippier, and better when wet. Mohair is more expensive, lighter, glides better, and packs smaller.
Criteria for Evaluation
Each make and model of climbing skin combines various technologies and attributes to serve your backcountry needs. We have divided our assessment into the following categories.
In our estimation and experience, this is the most important single attribute of climbing skins. Just like the weight of your skis is the primary thing that will affect uphill travel, and therefore the bulk of your day, the glide characteristics of your skins are the biggest determinant of their uphill efficiency. Good skinning technique slides the skis and skins rather than lifts them. Skins that slide easily climb easily. Two things seem to affect the glide characteristic of the skins.
The first, and biggest, is the type of fiber used. Mohair, made from the hair of the Angora goat, has the smoothest and least resistant glide. Nylon is slower to glide. Mixes of the two split the difference. Interestingly, the differences in glide characteristics depend a little on the nature of the snow. While mohair skins always glide at least a little better, the difference is far more pronounced on dry, wintry snow than it is on wet or melt/freeze snow. On fresh and dry snow, mohair is considerably faster than nylon, while on corn type snow the difference is almost marginal.
Secondly, the length of the hairs that protrude on the fabric side affects glide. The skins that glide the poorest in our test, the G3 High Traction, have a wild and wooly, long-haired nap to them. Those that glide better are lower profile and more closely shorn. While it is virtually impossible to assess and compare, it is conceivable that the angle at which the fibers protrude from the backing fabric would affect glide characteristics.
While they were otherwise very very similar, the two Pomoca made, independently branded skins we tested glide quite differently. In repeatable, formalized glide speed tests, the La Sportiva LS Tour Skin regularly outperformed the Dynafit Speedskin.
Skins are made to grip. That is their initial purpose; to make your skis grippier than they would be otherwise. This is an important attribute, clearly. However, skins differ in this regard less dramatically than they do in glide. The biggest determinant of one's skinning security is technique. A good skinner can climb more steeply on the most slippery skins than a newer skinner could on the grippiest. Good skinning is a magic art of balance, faith, and reading terrain. All that said, skins do differ at least a little. We found noticeable differences in the grip characteristics, generally inversely proportional to the product's glide. Better gliding skins grip less, while the slower gliders grip better. We did find, however, that some products hedge their bets better, while others throw all compromise to the wind.
The G3 High Traction, as the name implies, is a no-holds-barred grip machine. If you absolutely must climb straight up 35 deg ice slopes, the HT skins will do that. Not far behind, though were most of the other skins. All blended skins, including the Editors' Choice winning Black Diamond Glidelite Mix STS, grip well enough for solid skinners to follow even the steepest, iciest skin tracks. Full nylon products like the G3 Alpinist and Black Diamond Ascension Nylon grab slightly better than the blends, often enough better to make up for less developed technique.
Glue Integrity
Your skins have got to stay on your skis. Mainly, but not exclusively, it is the glue's job to do that. Considering the demands placed on skin glue (wet conditions, high shear forces, poor care, repeated use), all products work marvelously. None of the skins we tested suffered complete, otherwise unexplainable skin failure (cold enough or wet enough, and all skins will fail to some degree), but some stayed put better than others. The actual glue on all the Black Diamond and G3 skins seems remarkably robust. The La Sportiva LS Tour and Dynafit Speedskin, both made by Pomoca, seem to have the exact same glue also, and its stickiness is the least of all we tested.
Augmenting a glue's characteristics, in order to really keep skins on, are a couple of other factors. All skins must attach to the tip of your ski such that forward sliding doesn't peel the skin back or push snow between skin and ski. Products accomplish this in a variety of ways. Some use a simple cable loop, while others employ toggles in holes or hooks over edges. Some skins are cut to stay full width all the way to the tip, while others taper gently back to their full width. Some skins' backing material is stiffer than others. Soft skins seem to peel back more readily than stiffer ones. While the glue on the full mohair BD skins is exactly the same as on the full nylon ones, the soft, flexible fabric allows far more rolling action. As a result, the skin glue fails more often on the full mohair than the full nylon. Again, the BD mohair mix falls somewhere in between. The most secure tip attachment we used is the rubbery dongle on the Dynafit Speedskin. This arrangement, combined with a long, gentle taper of the skin width and fairly rigid construction, make for an overall more secure skin fit than the otherwise less tacky glue would suggest. The overall glue integrity of the Speedskin is better than that of the Black Diamond full mohair, even though the actual glue of the full mohair is tackier. Among the universally compatible skins, the G3 models have a better tip attachment than than the Black Diamond.
Finally, most skins are equipped with a tail clip, ostensibly to help the skins stay glued on. We found absolutely no difference in glue integrity with or without the tail kit. Many in our testing team have experimented for a long time with and without tail clips. While the manufacturers claim they keep skins on better, and mark up the price of tail-clip equipped skins, we have found no difference. The best use of tail clips is to help remove skins with gloves on. On all skins, the tail clip can be cut off entirely. Black Diamond sells all their models of skins in a form without the tail clip. We tested the Glidelite Mix skins without a tail clip.
Icing/Glopping Resistance
All skins ice up. When the fabric gets wet from warmer snow, and is then subject to cold dry snow, ice forms within the fabric. This, depending on exact snow conditions, can result in anything from mere annoyance to a full-on shut-down.
The worst glopping conditions result in tens of pounds of snow stuck to each ski and require extensive scraping and waxing to address. And, it could just happen again within a few steps. All the skins we tested are treated from the factory with water resistant coatings. These factory coatings work well, but wear off eventually. We found that none seemed to last noticeably longer than the others. Nylon fiber initially absorbs marginally less water than mohair. Once wet, though, all fibers ice up. We found mostly similar performance across the board, with the Black Diamond Ascension Nylon icing up the least, and the G3 Alpinist being the worst. Again, differences were marginal, and all skins require waxing so they won't ice up in warmer, fresh snow conditions.
Packability and Weight
We found a wide range of mass and sizes in our tested skins. Just like with grip and glide, packability and weight is correlated to material. Because we tested skis, and therefore skins, of different widths, we cannot directly compare the actual mass of our tested skins to one another.
However, we can state with confidence that nylon skins are heavier and mohair skins are lighter. Heavier skins are also bulkier. The heaviest and bulkiest skins in our review were the Black Diamond Ascension Nylon. Some light and packable skins include the Editors' Choice BD Glidelite Mix, especially without the rubber and metal of Black Diamond's tail kit, and the Pomoca skins from La Sportiva and Dynafit. The G3 High Traction was almost as heavy and bulky as the BD Nylon.
Ease of Use
Ease of use on climbing skins is mainly a function of glue stickiness. When stowing skins away, the user folds them in half, glue to glue. When deploying them onto skis the user then peels them apart. If the glue sticks to itself too much, this task is a real bear. Granted, one can use a special mesh to place between the glue, making the task of separating skins easier. However, the mesh causes problems of its own, especially in windy conditions. No one that skis very much has the patience to stick with using the mesh.
Also, modern wide skins are often equipped with a glue free, centered "wimp strip" to minimize the surface area of glue on glue. The easiest to use skins had mellower glue and/or a wimp strip. Both Pomoca models, even without a wimp strip, pulled apart easily. The G3 and BD skins are all fully glued, and then equipped with a semi-permanent strip of fabric down at least part of the center of the skin to cover the glue. This is the wimp strip, and serves two purposes. Initially, it reduces the surface area of glue on glue, therefore easing deployment. Secondly, it preserves the covered glue for emergency use. While we did not need the preserved glue in our testing, we have used exactly that feature in the past. It is a nice feature and allows you to have functioning skins when the conditions have gotten rough.
Not all the skins we tested are compatible with all skis on the market. Dynafit skins are compatible only with Dynafit skis. The La Sportiva skins are compatible with La Sportiva skis, similarly dimensioned K2 skis, and can work with any similarly dimensioned skis with holes drilled in the appropriate places at tip and tail. Black Diamond and G3 skins can be cut for use on any skis, with the G3 tip connecter being more versatile than that on the BD.
Also, check out our Mens and Women's Ski Reviews.
Some skins are built for certain conditions while others are designed for more all-around use. With the different options on the market today, it can be hard to know whether to seek out specific skins, or to simply purchase the skins that the manufacturer sells with your skis. Choosing the most important attributes for your backcountry needs will guide you in your selection. You can also check out our Buying Advice article for more details on what to consider when making your selection.

Kate Wedell is the founder and Executive Director of Cherished. Kate's inspiration for Cherished came from her own broken past. Like many women before and after her, Kate came to Hollywood to pursue a dream, but within a few days she was forced into prostitution to survive. She became a stripper and a drug addict. Eventually, Kate was sex-trafficked by a man she thought was her boyfriend.
After multiple arrests and being incarcerated at Sybil Brand Women's Correctional Facility, she found the courage to escape the lifestyle she had been afraid to leave. In doing so, her life was threatened by her past associations. She was followed and tormented after she walked away from "the industry."
Those years are behind her now, but it was because Kate found the truth. She found out that she is Cherished and loved more than she could ever imagine and created with a purpose.

I love this campaign! Great stuff!
This is not better than the cannes winner (as much as I don't want to defend the cannes winner) because it is telling me what to build... the cannes winner (without the title) leaves it open to interperetation... or even with the title allows me to imagine what might be under the surface... isn't creativity half the point of legos?
oh, and as I have said several times... no more lego ads. no more wonderbra ads and no more flat screen tv ads... yawny yawn yawn

RCE springs in stock-GD and GRB
We have RCE springs for both chassis in stock.
GD '04+ WRX, STI and '02-03 GD with '04+ rear strut tops.
"Blacks"-Regular Guy springs
Introducing the RCE Regular Guy Springs (RCE Blacks), an OEM replacement spring for 2004-2007 Subaru WRX STi and the next in the Racecomp Engineering growing line of performance springs for Subaru Impreza, Subaru Legacy, and Mitsubishi Evolution. Designed for use with standard STi inverted struts or Ohlins Fixed Perch Replacement Struts, these springs are intended for both the daily driven street driver as well as the autocross and track day weekend warrior. Using similar spring rates as the extremely popular and successful RCE Yellow Springs, but having a much more subtle/mild drop in comparison, these are perfect for STi owners not looking for a ride height much lower then stock, and yet are still looking for increased spring rates. Spring rates are still 10% stiffer then JDM Pinks with an emphasis on the rear rate, so you will still be outpacing just about everything on the track and auto-x course.
"Yellow" springs
The highly anticipated Super Sport Street/Track Springs, an OEM replacement spring for 2004-2007 Subaru WRX STi from Racecomp Engineering. Designed for use with standard STi inverted struts or Ohlins Fixed Perch Replacement Struts, these springs are intended for both the daily driven street driver as well as the autocross and track day weekend warrior. Finally, after years of being the authority on Subaru suspension options for everyone from the daily driver to the professional racer, Racecomp Engineering can now provide their own solution to owners looking for the ultimate OEM replacement spring for their Subaru Impreza WRX STi. Using the very popular JDM STi springs that we brought to the U.S. market in mid 2003 as the benchmark, Racecomp focused on improving on track and autocross performance, while maintaining acceptable ride quality. Extensive research, design, and testing was performed to develop a completely new spring unlike anything currently available. With springs rates increased approximately 25% stiffer then the popular JDM Pink Springs, the springs are perfect for those with wider tires worried about rubbing, as well those looking for a little more rear spring rate to promote a more neutral handling characteristic. Much care was taken not to exceed the limits of the stock struts. The mildly progressive design and spring rates properly matched with the dampers ensure that ride quality is not diminished over stock. The car is lowered 20mm in the rear and 23mm in the front for an even look
Finally, an option exists for Subaru WRX Wagon owners with upgraded struts! Rather then having to choose between spring rates that are too soft, like most wagon specific springs, and a saggy rear end, like most sedan specific springs, Racecomp Engineering is proud to announce an OEM replacement spring for the Subaru WRX Wagon. Designed for use with standard STi inverted struts, Koni Inserts, Tokico D-Spec struts or Ohlins Fixed Perch Replacement struts, these springs are intended for both the daily driven street driver as well as the autocross and track day weekend warrior. Using similar spring rates as the extremely popular and successful RCE Yellow Springs, but having a wagon specific ride height, these are perfect for wagon owners not looking to compromise either ride height or spring rates.
GRB Chassis('08+STI)
"Regular Guy" springs
Finally, a performance spring designed with function over form is available for the latest Subaru Impreza STI. Incorporating the knowledge gained from designing a growing list of suspension and brake performance parts for the true track day and autocross enthusiast, Racecomp Engineering is proud to announce the latest addition to their line up. The Regular Guy Functional Lowering Springs for the 2008+ Subaru Impreza STI are designed as the ultimate performance spring upgrade for the newly redesigned GR chassis.
Paying special attention to the completely new rear suspension design of the GR chassis, the Functional Lowering Springs provide a mild 5mm drop front and rear to maximize the limited suspension travel available. Shorter bumpstops are included front and rear to take things one step further, resulting in more bump travel than stock. Rarely does an aftermarket spring set-up add suspension travel, but in this case it is a crucial design aspect that improves performance while helping to maintain a civil ride on the street.
Spring rates of 320 lbs/in front and rear are intended to work with the completely new rear suspension of the GR chassis, which has a lower motion ratio in the rear than previous Imprezas. In addition, the OEM dampers have been carefully examined on a shock dyno to match the new spring rates to the dampers.
Racecomp Engineerings goal was to help cure the crippling understeer that adds to lap times at the track and autocross course. Studying the design of the new GR suspension, a new performance spring has been produced that adds to available bump travel, matches the excellent OEM dampers, and works in conjunction with the new rear motion ratio. The result is a car that handles extremely well from corner entry to corner exit.
Continuing the Regular Guy theme from previous Racecomp designs, the springs are colored black for a low key look. Coupled with the minimal drop, most people would be hard pressed to find anything different from stock .until the road curves.
Everything in stock. PM me for pricing.

Carlos Gimenez Dumps Al Lorenzo Amid Absentee Ballot Fraud Scandal
Also read: "Al Lorenzo Wins Elections, but Will His History Hurt the State Attorney's Latest Bid."
Late yesterday, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez sacked Al Lorenzo, the campaign consultant who's been by his side since he first ran for elected office eight years ago. The Miami Herald reports Gimenez fired Lorenzo because the election guru didn't tell the mayor that he had contracted a convicted felon to work on the reelection campaign. Lorenzo, whose firm Quantum Results has been paid $71,440 by Gimenez's campaign and his political action commitee, is one of the most prolific and controversial campaign consultants in Miami-Dade.
Back in March, Miami New Times profiled Lorenzo's rise from an unknown banker to powerful political kingmaker. He helped Joe Carrollo win the Miami mayor's seat in 1997; U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio win his first state legislature race in 1999; and Gimenez's first run for county commissioner in 2004.
Lorenzo's removal from the Gimenez campaign comes one week after absentee ballot broker Deisy Cabrera, who has worked with Lorenzo on previous campaigns, was arrested on absentee ballot fraud charges.

State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle recused herself from the probe amid so-far unfounded allegations that one of her campaign consultants had been seen with Cabrera. Lorenzo told the Herald that he has not have any involvement with Cabrera in the Gimenez or Rundle campaigns.
According to the Herald, Rundle -- unlike Gimenez -- will keep Lorenzo on her team, although she asked him to keep his contracted employee, Jerry Ramos, away from her campaign. Ramos, 47, was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison in a 2008 federal case for forging postage stamps. He also has state convictions for credit-card forgery, check forgery and grand theft.
Lorenzo's critics have long accused him of overstating his value, claiming that his clients often have won in spite of his work. (Rival consultant David Custin, for instance, told us, "He's a better checkers player than he is a chess player.")
In the 2001 Miami mayor's race (when Lorenzo worked for eventual winner Manny Diaz), Maurice Ferre accused the political adviser of bombing voters with calls linking Ferre to Attorney General Janet Reno, one of the most vilified figures in the Cuban exile community
Lorenzo, who could not be reached for comment on Gimenez's move, vehemently denied Ferre's charges and asserted that he provides a valuable service to all his clients, which is why they keep coming back to him.
Indeed, Lorenzo has been busy this election cycle. He is working for 16 judicial candidates, racking up close to $140,000 in consultant fees. Rundle's campaign has paid his firm $63,233.
