Bad smell to blow away with new system
Dubai: The bad odour in Al Qusais will no longer bother residents as a new landfill gas recovery system is set to improve the quality of air and reduce the percentage of greenhouse gases.
A senior municipal official further said that this is the first step in harnessing landfill gas for the eventual generation of electricity from flaring off methane.
"Our goal is to establish Dubai as a thought leader in green initiatives, and through our new project, we are not only contributing to mitigating the impact of greenhouse gases on environmental degradation but also promoting social wellbeing," said Hussain Lootah, director-general of Dubai Municipality.
Speaking on Monday at the inauguration of the region's first landfill gas recovery system, Lootah affirmed that the project at Al Qusais Landfill site adopts the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) initiative, which is registered with the United Nations under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Through implementing the CDM project, the municipality aims to reduce methane emissions, which is expected to remove 250,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year from the atmosphere.
"This unique project has taken a lot of aspects into consideration that protects the environment and addresses the issue of greenhouse gases that is made up of a good percentage of methane gas. We started using one megawatt of electricity at the landfill and within this year, we aim produce a larger quantity of electricity and collaborate with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority to provide it to [people's homes]," said Lootah.
The landfill at Al Qusais is one of the largest sites for municipal waste collection at an area of 3.5 square kilometres, receives about 5,000 tons of solid waste a day. Landfills traditionally are the largest emitters of greenhouse gases due to the decomposition of organic waste. According to Dubai Municipality, the landfill has been used by authorities since 1978 and generally, landfill gas is made up of about 55 per cent methane and 45 per cent carbon dioxide. Methane is 21 times more harmful than carbon dioxide.

Westbury-based interior designer and refurbishment company Richman Design has gone from strength to strength since it was established by Kerry Chapman in 2011.
When the business opened two years ago, managing director and designer Miss Chapman, director and site manager James Rich and six installers and fitters managed the business.
Richman Design now employs 25 people, including Mia Gillespie, who was recently appointed head of sales and marketing.
The company, which is based in Eden Vale Road, also boasts an impressive client list, including its recent appointment by Longleat Estates to refurbish two of its hotels, Bishopstrow House and Homewood Park.
After previously working for Jane Clayton and Von Essen Hotels, Miss Chapman, who has more than 20 years' experience as an interior designer, decided it was time to go it alone.
Miss Chapman, 42, said: "Before I decided to open my own company I was the head designer for the Von Essen Group, working on the total refurbishment of many hotels in their collection including Mount Somerset Hotel and The Royal Crescent in Bath.
"I had the opportunity to start my own business and decided it was now or never. I was doing the majority of the work for Von Essen anyway, so it seemed the right course of action.
"Obviously in our current financial climate any business venture is a risk, but after two years of trading I am delighted with the new business we are attracting and our ever-growing client base.
"The business has an amazing team and we all work together – this is reflected in the clients' comments constantly and may it continue."
The interior design, installation and refurbishment company specialises in everything from residential and commercial properties to hotels and spas.
Richman Design offers a process that starts with a consultation to discuss the client's ideas, before putting together memory boards to help to bring those ideas to life.
The company works closely with its clients throughout the entire process.
"It's been an incredible experience so far, especially this year with the newly acquired Longleat Estates hotel collection, which we've been working hard on," said Miss Chapman, who also lives in Westbury.
"We are currently finishing off the dining room at Homewood Park now, which should be completed on February 13.
"I think our character and personalities come through when we are dealing with our clients and that's what separates us from other interior designers."

Speedskating Coach Is Accused of Abuse
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Five Olympic medalists and other current and former members of the U.S. speedskating team filed complaints accusing head coach Jae Su Chun of "unchecked" verbal, physical and psychological abuse.
Nineteen athletes filed a wide-ranging grievance against U.S. Speedskating and 14 signed a complaint with the U.S. Olympic Committee. The Chicago Tribune and Salt Lake Tribune reported on the accusations.
Attorney Edward Williams, who represents the skaters, said the abuse was "outrageous."
The code of conduct complaint accuses Chun of slamming an athlete against a wall and repeatedly hitting him, throwing bottles and chairs at skaters, and repeatedly telling female skaters they were "fat" and "disgusting."
Inside the Brain of an Elite Athlete
Abstract | Events like the World Championships in athletics and the Olympic Games raise the
public profile of competitive sports. They may also leave us wondering what sets the
competitors in these events apart from those of us who simply watch. Here we attempt to
link neural and cognitive processes that have been found to be important for elite
performance with computational and physiological theories inspired by much simpler
laboratory tasks. In this way we hope to inspire neuroscientists to consider how their basic
research might help to explain sporting skill at the highest levels of performance.
Download Abstract
Going Outside Title IX to Keep Coach-Athlete Relationships in Bounds
Coach-athlete "romances" are the dirty little secrets of sport. No one wants to talk about them. Now and then, a high profile scandal rips through the headlines—as when University of North Carolina's legendary soccer coach, Anson Dorrance, was accused of sexually harassing his players.
1 On these infrequent occasions, the glare of the media spotlight forces a brief period of introspection about the proper boundaries of the coach-athlete relationship. Even then, it is mostly the extreme allegations that garner attention—conduct clearly identifiable as sexual harassment, especially if it involves a sexual assault. In the case of Coach Dorrance, the complained-of behaviors were verbal and did not involve physical advances; 2 the notoriety of the case stemmed from the coach's fame and track record and its addition to a small handful of reported court decisions involving coach-athlete sexual harassment in intercollegiate sports.3 Absent headline-grabbing scandals, however, coach-athlete relationships are rarely examined for their impact on womens sports and athlete well-being. This is largely because they do not come within the ambit of Title IX, which sets the agenda for conversations about gender equity in sport.
Athlete/Parent Short Cuts Lead to Athlete Suffering in the Long Run
Training to be an elite athlete requires discipline and focus beyond what any of us can imagine if we haven't had such experience ourselves. Parents must bring that same discipline and focus to child/athlete protection and be committed to ensuring a safe and positive environment sports environment.
Taking short cuts is intentionally skipping a responsibility in the hope that no one will notice or someone else will do it. An athlete knows that skipping a work-out or eliminating ten more repetitions at practice is the difference between winning and losing. When the well being of our children is at stake, short-cuts simply cannot be acceptable.
Taking short cuts in practice is often frowned upon by teammates. If team members have to do an entire workout to the best of their ability, then every team member commits to achieving this goal. The pressure around teams to be individually accountable is so strong it's at the heart of the sport and the basis of the sport work ethic. As long this pressure on each other stays within safe and positive and doesn't extend it's self into bullying (more on that issue at www.safe4athletes.org), the result is impressive. Similarly, parents need to pressure each other to be concerned about issues of athlete welfare.

Metropolitan Opera, University of Washington, International Soloist
Artist's BiographyPraised as �...an excellent clarinettist,� by The New York Times, Sean Osborn, former clarinetist with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, has performed on four continents since his recital debut at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts at the age of 17. His performance of Nieslen\'s Clarinet Concerto with the Philadelphia Orchestra was �especially admired� for the �beautifully inflected phrases\" by the critics of The Philadelphia Inquirer, and Gramophone Magazine called him �a master clarinetist.�
Appointed over nearly 300 other applicants to a position with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra in 1989, Mr. Osborn was the youngest clarinetist in the history of the Met. He has also performed as Guest Principal Clarinet with the New York Philharmonic, Pittsburgh Symphony, Seattle Symphony, and the American Symphony Orchestra. During his orchestral career, he has been singled out for praise of his \"bravura technique\" (Oggi) and his \"slenderly eloquent\" solos (Village Voice). In solo performances, he has been praised for his \"ability to describe attractively shaped musical arcs with his fluid tone\", and \"demonstrate[ing] the effortlessness of his technique in a performance of Francaix\'s pyrotechnical Concerto.\"
Touring the country extensively, Mr. Osborn has performed live and in recital on many radio stations, and nationally on NPR\'s Performance Today. Sean is a top prize winner in both the ARTS Competition and the International Clarinet Society Competition, and in 1984 was named a Presidential Scholar in the Arts. He has also participated in the Marlboro, Colorado, Aspen and Keystone music festivals, and recorded for Sony Classics, London, Deutsche Grammaphon, CRI, and others. His new solo CD American Spirit was released in December, 2003 on Albany Records.
A student of Stanley Hasty at the Eastman School of Music, Mr. Osborn is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music and the Interlochen Arts Academy where he received its highest honor: The Young Artists Certificate. He also received a Master�s Degree from Southern Illinois University where he studied with Dr. Eric Mandat.

I FOUND PRIMERS! Now what?
OK, a bit over dramatic maybe. But small rifle primers have been generally unavailable here for quite a while. Today I unexpectedly found Remington primers and bought 2000.
I've loaded .30-06 for decades. Now I'm ready to try .223, though my cases are all 5.56mm. I bought my rifle the day after the election. Since ammo has been scarce I've only fired one load, PMC 55gr FMJ, which it seemed to shoot pretty well. My rifle has a 1 in 7 twist.
I'm looking for good bullet/powder starting recommendations. I'm not going to shoot competitively, so I'm not looking for the ultimate in accuracy. I want something that's potent enough for personal defense, accurate enough for some metallic silhouette plinking and maybe an occasional coyote.

Two powders I like for the 223 are H335 & Ramshot TAC. I use standard 55gr bullets or 62/3 gr for the longer shots.
Hopefully, if you are fortunate, you will be able to find bullets and powders.
Right now, all 223 components are scare & if you find any, expect to pay premium prices.

Lots of powders will work well with .223 - right now you might just have to see what you can get your hands on and check that it's appropriate for .223/5.56. Many will work, but the most popular ones are fairly scarce at the moment. BL-C(2) and H335 are my favorites but there are many other good choices - H322, H4895, AA2015, AA2230, W748, Ramshot TAC just to name a few.

Data in my Speer reloading manual shows a magnum primer with H335 and BLC2 powders. Are magnum primers generally used with these powders? My primers are Remington 6 1/2 (non magnum). Any comments on use of standard primers?

Flintlock before using those primers carefuly read the package. You may not be able to load .223 Rem with those. If you do I assure you there will be problems. Namely pierced primers.
The standard non magnum Remington primers were developed for low pressure loads like .22 Hornet. At .223 Rem pressure they will pierce. I had 2 pierce in .221 Fireball loads.
It will say something on the box for the standard small rifle primers. It was printed on the side of the box for the brick that I bought.
I used them for small pistol loads which they worked great for.
No matter how many times you do it and nothing happens it only takes something going wrong one time to kill you.

Thanks for the warning. I did find it on the box... in small print, not very prominent. Looks like I have lots of pistol primers now. And I thought I had found something special. Again, thanks for the warning.

I found some very useful information in the following thread. I personally have been using the CCI 400 in .223, mild loads 23-23.5g IMR 4895 w/ 55g FMJ BTs, and have seen no indication of piercing in my auto feeder. I do plan on switching over to CCI 41s or BR4s when I use up my last 2000 CCI 400s. I figure once you know to avoid a potential problem, you should take positive action to do so. My choice is to avoid going higher on the load for now and switch over. YMMV

Since 1975 I have used CCI standard small rifle primers in all my 5.56 loads, many, many thousands, never had a problem and the loads are accurate. I use H335 almost exclusively, but also tried some of the other powders which were OK. I keep coming back to H335

Flintlock, you can always trade those primers with someone else who needs small rifle / small pistol.
Does anyone use IMR 3031 for .223? The Lyman #49 manual lists it as one of the better powders for 223 but I never seem to see or hear anyone talking about that powder.

Flintlock, I find that H335 and W748 give me the best performance and accuracy in 223/5.56. Generally, I use 55 grain bullets in my varmint rifle (CZ527) and 62-64 grain bullets in my ARs. I have used both magnum and non-magnum primers with H335. I see a little more velocity with the mag primers, but not much. Other than that, I don't see a difference.

The Army used a Mann Accurach Device to test their ammo. The one for the 5.56 is a 1:7 twist barrel on a Remington Action. Super tight chamber, and 18 inches long.
To test the device they load 25 grns of 3031 in a Remington Case, match primers and 52 grn match bullets.
The grouping averages about .18

Yes. 3031 has good case fill, and better insensitivity to being dispensed with small charge weight errors than some, so it responds well to being dispensed by volume. Works better with light bullets than Varget and the 4895's, IME. I have previously suggested people try 3031 and also try Reloader 10X for bullets 55 grain and lighter to see which one your gun likes better.
The 6½'s are thin and they are mild. I used them with mild loads of 4198 in .222 Remington for a lot of years and they did fine there, drilling many a cloverleaf. In .223 you could use them in a bolt gun for loads up to around 45 kpsi, but I would not push them beyond that. Good enough for .357 Mag and 9 mm loads, though, so if you have either you can shoot them up that way.
In the AR I would avoid the 6½ because the firing mechanism is made energetic enough for military spec primers at their lowest sensitivity limit (3 standard deviations from an already higher-than-commercial ignition threshold in a height drop test) plus about a 20% margin. That could be a hard on the light primer cup, not to mention added risk for slamfires. It's also not worth gas cutting your bolt face prematurely just to avoid getting something more appropriate.
These days you have three small rifle military spec primers available. The CCI #41 and Tulammo KVB556M are magnum primers and the Federal GMM205MAR (the last two letters making it distinct from their regular GMM205M) for a match standard strength primer.

So this thread is interesting....
What does Remington load there factory .223 with??? Another primer brand?
Very interesting information about 3031 as well. Think I will work up a load with it, since I have a bunch of it for .303 British, and H335 is virtually unobtainable right now.
Anyone have any issues or complaints in a 16" barrel with 3031? Would be a 1:9 gg Grain FMJ.

Evidently Remington uses their 7-1/2 primer, listed as "small rifle bench rest". My Nosler manual data used the 7-1/2 primer in .223.

Last week we told you that in the face of staffing cuts, Equality Texas plans to rely heavily on active, volunteer board members to assist with lobbying duties during the state legislative session that began today.
Well, it turns out that the group is also looking for a few additional board members, and particularly people of color from Dallas, El Paso, Lubbock and Corpus Christi. An ad posted Monday on SmartBrief Jobs notes that Equality Texas board members serve a maximum of three two-year terms and have a fundraising requirement of $7,500 in 2011, which will increase to $10,000 in 2012:
This is a challenging opportunity with an emerging organization dedicated to the most compelling civil rights issue of our time. It may appeal to a younger person whose career would be enhanced by association with a high profile organization that can effect social change, as well as by the opportunity for building relationships with other business and civic leaders who serve as Directors. Alternatively, this might appeal to a more senior executive who has a strong personal conviction about the importance of addressing these issues in the state of Texas.

After getting extra rest, Matzek to start on Saturday
DETROIT -- After tossing two-thirds of an inning in the Rockies' 16-inning game on Tuesday, rookie Tyler Matzek was in need of a little extra rest.
He was scratched from his Thursday start, but manager Walt Weiss revealed Friday that he'll be good to go for Saturday night against the Tigers.
"We felt like we just needed to get him a couple more days," Weiss said. "We didn't feel like we had to make any big adjustments. Just wanted to get him a couple more days of rest."
Yohan Flande had previously been scheduled to start Saturday but is in the bullpen for now in a long-relief role.

Locally, there's no shortage of dining choices for pizza, but that's of little concern to CiCi's Pizza executives, who are bullish on expanding their buffet-style brand in San Diego County.
Over the next five years, the Texas-based chain plans to open 11 more restaurants in the county, where today there is just one.
The lone CiCi's in San Diego is on University Avenue near 58th Street, south of San Diego State University.
"We're looking at San Diego and Los Angeles as target markets because we're so under-penetrated there," said Thomas McCord, vice president of real estate and franchise development. "We're not a high end pizza concept. We're about value. We do very well with blue collar households, with people (who) want to take their family, have a full buffet and a nice dinner out for under $5.99."
Besides the city of San Diego, the chain is targeting Chula Vista, La Mesa, El Cajon, Escondido, Spring Valley and Carlsbad for its expansion plans.
Because CiCi's is dominated by franchise-owned restaurants, the company is looking for local operators with deep franchise experience in other brands, McCord said. Each restaurant, he noted, costs roughly $450,000 to develop and will mean 40 to 50 more jobs created.
The company is willing to invest $100,000 per restaurant to help underwrite development costs, but as a condition of that it becomes a non-voting minority shareholder.
Nationwide, the pizza market continues to attract newcomers looking to capitalize on what has always been a popular food choice, making competition all that much stiffer. Throughout the country, there are 67,466 pizza places, including both chains and independently run eateries, according to The NPD Group, a market research firm.
Where CiCi's distinguishes itself, McCord said, is its buffet concept, which includes not only pizza, but also pastas, salads, soups and desserts. The restaurants also make their pizza dough and cinnamon rolls fresh each day.
"We have high school kids who come in and stack the plates and it gets crazy," McCord said. "Our focus is on dine-in, carry out and catering. We don't deliver. We have a lot of franchisees and encourage them to get involved with the community, they're involved in charitable events, PTA, school lunch programs. We also have a game room in the back that gives parents some time to stay together."
Founded in 1985 with more than 500 restaurants in 34 states, CiCi's plans to not only expand its restaurants in individual communities, but it also is interested in growing its presence in airports.

When times are tough, some people's retirement planning glitters because they turn their nest eggs into gold.
If you think the Mayans are wrong and the world won't end Friday, but we may tumble off the "fiscal cliff" at the end of the year leaving the economy in a muddle, you might want to buy gold, too.
Edmund Moy, chief strategist for precious metals dealer Morgan Gold, was the director of the United States Mint, manufacturer of U.S. coins, from 2006 to 2011. He was on the job during the beginning of the Great Recession and watched demand for American gold bullion coins go from 327,522 ounces in 2007 to 1.8 million ounces in 2009, a 450 percent increase. When he resigned from his federal job in January 2011, he resolved to add gold to his own portfolio.
Moy's search for a company to manage that investment resulted in him becoming a spokesperson for Morgan Gold. He emphasizes that he was first a satisfied customer.
IRS allows the inclusion of gold in an IRA as long as it is 99.9 percent pure. Bullion and South African Krugerrands aren't pure enough. The three practical ways to buy gold are:
- Contemporary gold bullion coins. The likeliest choices are American Buffalo and Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins.
- Collectible gold coins. The most collectible were minted before 1933.
- Shares. You can buy into a precious metal exchange-traded fund, or ETF, or you can buy shares in a gold-mining company.
The government won't let you keep your gold in the basement, which is why you need a government-approved depository as well as a self-directed individual retirement account administrator to manage the details. None of the major brokerage firms deal in gold, and none of the firms that do are really household names. So tread cautiously. Moy suggests calling the Better Business Bureau before you invest.
Why bother with gold? Moy says that the best reason to include gold in your retirement portfolio is "as an insurance policy. When stocks and bonds and cash and the value of the dollar go down, gold goes up," he says.
How much gold should you buy? Moy recommends starting with a modest 5 percent of your portfolio -- these days an American Buffalo with a $50 face value will cost you about $1,750. If that purchase gives you comfort, he suggests you increase your purchase to 15 percent of your portfolio.
If the world ends, none of this will matter, but otherwise, adding a little gold to the mix could make your retirement feel more secure.

David A. Sanchez, president of the 325,000-member California Teachers Association, released this statement about the 2011-12 budget passed by the legislature this afternoon:
"While we genuinely appreciate their work, it's frustrating to watch Democratic leaders have to scramble to put together a one-year budget patch because every Republican refused to extend current taxes in order to keep deeper cuts from California's students and families.
"Passing this budget will help local school districts and colleges plan for the coming year, but fails to provide any real long-term solutions. Instead of using current revenues to balance the $12 billion in cuts already made this year to schools, colleges and other essential services, the Republicans' inaction will result in our students returning to school in the fall with larger class sizes, fewer instruction days, fewer teachers, limited course offerings, higher tuition, and minimal support services.
"This is not the California we want for our students. It's definitely not the California they deserve. And it's certainly disappointing that some California lawmakers don't value the importance of public education and fail to understand that investing in public education is an investment in our economy and our future."

A FOOTBALL team from a Blackburn-based charity said farewell to a South Korean volunteer who has been working in the town for the past six months.
The Nightsafe charity, which helps young people who at risk of homelessness, fields a team of clients and volunteers in the Creative Support league, where they play other similar organisations at Ewood Park's Indoor Centre.
Playing in Blackburn Rover kit, the day-centre football team, which has six players, has been doing really well in their league currently having won four, drew two and lost one. They bid farewell to Hojae Kim, volunteer from South Korea who headed home after spending six months in Lancashire.
Linda Sherratt, from Nightsafe, said: "Hojae came to us on placement from the CSV organisation. We have been impressed with his energy and attitude working with our young people at the night shelter.
"The football team also gave him a good send off.
"Hojae's English also improved no end during his stay and he definitely developed a Lancashire accent while working with us."

- Mist rolls over the hillside in Salento, Colombia.
The Magic of Salento
Adventure in Colombian coffee country.
There was more than just a luscious countryside of diversified vegetation and smooth, rolling hills, where a clean river ran steady and uninhibited over gardens of round stones. More than just untouched wax palm trees, too perfect to be real. More than just aromas of pine, palm, coffee, ripe golden flowers and sweet wet air. More than just boundless open land devoid of city grime and tall-building chaos – no, this here was God's country.
Oh yes, there were also the estranged military men giving each other streetside haircuts when they were busy and sleeping in beds of bushes when they had time to kill. All that's really left is the cowboy horse ride, dreamy waterfall, and Chilean-Spanish-American team of coffee seekers.
What's a man need to do to get some shut-eye around here, is all I was asking myself as I trudged up a potholed street of scattered dried palm fronds and white chalk. After a sleepless overnight bus ride, I'd arrived in Salento, Colombia, looking for some hostel that went by the name of "Plantation."
Barking dogs circled me on one street – nope, this couldn't be it. Then a dead end cursed me on another street. A backtrack, a walk in circles, a couple of gringo-sounding donde esta's thrown at the locals, and I was eventually pointed towards the peak of a hill.
In my clodhopper hiking boots, I marched earnestly toward the hostel, arriving at the abandoned porch of what appeared to be a vacant building. I threw down my pack and tried to find the entrance so I could pay.
I crossed the porch; it creaked like a wooden door in a horror movie. Rings of smoke floated out of a nearby hammock.
"You know where I can pay?" I asked.
"I don't know. Owner left and he'll be back whenever. I need good sleep. It took long to find this place. Yes?" it said in broken English.
The red fire of tobacco ran down the cigarette paper so quickly that whoever it was must have taken one puff and finished the whole damn thing in one drag – a bout of smoking unparalleled by anything I'd ever seen. This person could have out-smoked a coffee-gulping Midwestern truck driver heading to Reno to blow his monthly salary at the 4 a.m. craps table.
A couple more calculated smoke rings floated out of the hammock. Then a short-haired, dark-skinned man with eyes red as the devil sat up. He flicked his cigarette butt, let out a sigh. He looked up at me and asked me my name. I told him mine, he told me his, we shook hands, and instantly we hit it off.
His name was Ricardo. He was from Chile, loved to climb mountains, and constantly scratched at his scruffy beard when he was talking, peering off into the distance all the while as if he were grabbing his thoughts from somewhere out there beyond himself.
He got out of the hammock, let out a stretch and sat stool-side next to me on one of the three porch stools while lighting another Lucky Strike cigarette.
"Man," he said, pausing to take a drag.
"Man, screw this place. I need a bed to crash. I been on road for so many days I lost count. You want look around town for another place to rent a couple of rooms. I don't care where, as long as it's less than five dollars."
He offered me a cigarette and even though I never smoke, I took one, lighting it up in sync with the new one Ricardo had just lit. "I'm in. Let's do it."
While finishing our smokes we exchanged stories. I'd be halfway through a story and he'd somehow finish mine. He'd be halfway through a story and I'd finish his. It was as though we had lived a part of each other's lives and could fill in the other's past life script.
Ignoring our sleepless states, we slung up our packs, dug our boots in the dirt, and set off for new opportunities. Goodbye to Planation Hostel owned by a British couple. In this state we didn't really care where they came from.
A sweet woman named Rosa gave us all we needed: a quiet atmosphere, fresh linens, and beds on frames of oily wood with an open-air balcony to let in the therapeutic breeze. We crashed like dead men.
The chatter of Spanish spoken with a lisp woke us from our comas. A duo of lively Spanish men had arrived at Rosa's place, one bald, with a Musketeer mustache, and the other bespectacled with a jaw-line beard.
"Why in God's name have you come to the middle of nowhere? Are you crazy? There is nothing going on here!" the mustached man exclaimed in utter seriousness.
I had no response. My tongue felt like velvet and I couldn't speak. I felt defeated, insecure, and weakened by his question.
Truly, what were we doing here? I tried to think up an impressive response. Before I could, he cut me off and shouted, "For the Coffee, of course!"
The Spanish men threw their heads back and laughed like hyenas.
That night we went out for a night of billiards and cold beer in a broken-down saloon across from Rosa's. Later, in our beds, we dreamed of coffee.
The next morning we followed the hostel owner's advice and headed down the muddy path through the jungle, through the thicket of mosquitos cloaking our skin, past an ominous graveyard, past the sounds of running water, down a hill, through sweat and toil – all in the name of coffee.
We arrived at what looked like a barn. What a rip-off. Where were the factory workers, fresh brewed coffee and tour guides? It was all missing.
We shouted an "hola" or two, waiting amidst the humming chorus of buzzing bugs. Finally an older man appeared. He wore a wide-brimmed straw hat, white shirt soaked through with sweat, and jeans dirtied at the knees. He must have known why we were here, because he waved us toward a trail that led down a hill past his barn and we followed. He showed us freshly bloomed pineapple plants sprouting up from the earth.

World Tea East was held in Boston this week located with Natural Products Expo East. World Tea Expo held tea classes on Wednesday and Thursday to quench the thirst of East Coast tea professionals. Sessions were held on a variety of topics like Nigel Melican's talk on Tea & Sustainability, Lisa Richardson, of Lisa Knows Tea, presented another delicious Tea & Chocolate Pairing class and Elizabeth Knight infused attendees with her extensive experience with a Tea Purchasing class.
I was pleased to have been included as an educator presenting Holding a Successful Tasting and the session on the Value of Specialty Tea. Both presentations were well attended.
The show opened on Thursday to heavy traffic in the World Tea Pavilion. This section dedicated just to tea was created by World Tea Expo to highlight the importance of tea to the natural products industry.
Teas Etc was surrounded with great neighbors. Village Tea Company, the young hip new line of specialty tea, was bringing lots of energy to the floor with their cool new team and brand. Directly across the aisle was Rishi Tea and East Indies Tea Company was right behind us. We had lots of neighborhood tea gatherings and were definitely in good company.
The pavilion created a real sense of "community." I had the chance to get to know some tea people that I was acquainted with but had never really had a chance to chat with. We all shared tea, food, supplies and lots of laughs.
I was equally as pleased to meet attendees like GongFu Girl, of tea blogging fame. She shared information on the newly formed Association of Tea Bloggers (ATB) developed to unify communication, information sharing & accuracy. They will foster dialog with the overall tea community and attempt to substantiate factual tea facts and dispel myths by incorporating the expertise and assistance of tea professionals. Look for guidelines at the organizations website.
I had the pleasure of chatting with Cynthia Gold, Tea Sommelier for The Boston Park Plaza Hotel where a tea tasting was held on Wednesday. Unfortunately due to my schedule I was unable to attend but heard from those who attended that it was a delightful event with some of Cynthia's private tea stash.
I also met tea educators Laurie Bell from DC & Verna Hamilton of NYC. A big shout out to Verna for her help with the comparative cupping's held in our booth.
We cupped blacks, whites and oolongs and were excited to host all those who stopped in by for the tasting. It was fun reviewing the obvious and subtle differences in the teas. We will hold these events again at World Tea Expo, Las Vegas 2010.
World Tea East gave us an opportunity to connect with new and existing customers. We had fun visiting with David & Anne Walker and meeting Nigel. We had lots of laughs with Matt Papera who stopped by the show to say "hi." We enjoyed our stay at the Omni and our lobster dinner at "No Name."
Sunday rolled around with rain from the south which interfered with our plans to walk Boston's Freedom Trail so I was forced to shop for comfortable shoes before packing and heading home.
Until next time, Beth

Thank you for mentioning the ATB. It was great to meet you. I was also pleased to be able to attend your presentation, "The Value of Specialty Tea," which was engaging and informative.

WTE East sounds like loads of fun. This is why I'm probably going to head out to at least the Vegas Expo next year. It'll be nice to meet all these people I connect with online and just to socialize with all the tea peeps out there. --Teaternity

Alrighty, here is my bag. I am struggling a bit in the fairway driver space but I am interested in all around thoughts. I recently got rid of some higher speed discs, but power wise I can throw my P-PD about 360 and a Teebird about 320 (given the 35 degree average temp around here)
Distance Drivers
175 C-PD - Most Overstable distance driver (I throw this in lots of wind)
175 S-PD - Overstable distance driver (I throw this in some headwind, or for a strong left finish over distance)
175 P-PD - Fresh and stable (I throw this fairly straight with dependable left fade at the end)
175 P-PD - Beat in some, control driver (This shapes lines in either direction, or can go nuts straight)
171 ESP Avenger SS - turnover driver (Right turns, rollers)
169 ESP Avenger SS - turnover driver (backs up the 171 Avenger SS)
Fairway Drivers
172 Champion Firebird - OVERSTABLE (I use this for all utility shots, and for flick shots)
163 Champion Firebird - Overstable (I use this for flick shots that I want to go straight longer than the heavier firebird can)
175 Star Eagle X - New and loving it (I use this for fairway drives with wind or if I need a good strong left finish)
175 Star Teebird - Stable (Goes nice a straight for a long while, then makes a good left turn. Tends to be flippy in the wind, tons of glide)
175 Echo Star Leopard - I replaced a TL with this going for straight shots with one less mold, I am not totally happy with it yet as it has a kind of swooping finish left that prevents it from being a good tunnel driver.
175 Pro Leopard - Turnover fairway drives (Nice straight finish, but not HSS enough to tunnel drive).
175 Glo Buzzz - Mid shots that need to fade left
175 Z Buzzz - Dead straight mid shots
175 Buzzz SS - Mid shots that turnover slightly right
175 D Buzzz - Mid shots that turnover slightly right, and shots over water where losing a cheap disc won't hurt my feelings
175 SS Wizards Main Putter
175 SS Wizard Backup Putter
So my main concerns currently center around the fairway slots, although I am open to thoughts throughout. I feel like I have too many molds in the fairways and I am concerned about tunnel shots (my home course has a 780 ft par 5 that is only 20 feet wide for the first 500 feet). I feel like the leopards fly more graceful turning lines than my TL did but I am not sure that the TL had the turnover potential of the Leopards. I don't quite have enough power to snap a Teebird to finish dead straight at the finish, otherwise that disc could fill the slot.

LONG BEACH - California State University trustees postponed a plan to vote on a round of new fees this week in order to gather more information and input from stakeholders, officials announced Tuesday.
The CSU Board of Trustees was scheduled to vote on the fee increases in its meeting at the Chancellor's Office in Long Beach today.
In a meeting on Tuesday, board Chairman Bob Linscheid said he decided to postpone voting on the fees and study the plan further in light of conversations with students and the recent passing of Proposition 30.
The proposed fees include:
A "graduation incentive fee" that charges a per-unit supplement of $372 for so-called "super seniors" who have already accumulated 160 units. More than 80 percent of majors require 120 units to graduate.
The unit cap will drop to 150 units in 2014. Officials said about 9,000 students are categorized as super seniors.
A "course repeat fee" of $91 for students who choose to repeat a class. Officials said about 40,000 seats are occupied each year by students who have already taken the course. The fee is meant to encourage students to "make careful decisions" and allow access for students who have not yet taken the course.
A "third-tier tuition" fee of $182 per unit for any course load of 18 units or more. The average student load is 12 units per semester.
This is the second time this year trustees have postponed a vote on raising fees. Officials said the new fees are intended to improve graduation rates and free up classroom seats for 18,000 new students.
The plan, however, has been met with backlash from faculty and student groups who say the move unfairly targets struggling students. The board is expected to vote on the fees at a later date.

Yea,my buddy has this dvd.I just copied it off of him because the store was sold out.
But if I see it ill buy it...well worth the money.
LoneGranger33 saidAgreed. As the members of Guns and Roses once said, "every rose has its thorn".
im going to order mine online sometime next week, i wont even bother going out to look for it in town. I could not find the super bowl dvd anywhere for the longest time. Heck even if just for the AFC title game its worth a buy. That game alone had so many feelings for me...down to the lowest feeling of low to the highest feeling of knowing we were going to the super bowl. the best feeling of being a sports fan.

Eh, mine is still in transit...
Should I buy it now, or wait for it to eventually go down in price? If that ever happens...
Is this worth getting?
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
yeah, i found one randomly this morning and jumped on it. i've watched it and my si dvd like nine times each already. in columbus, i can only take buckeye nation so long before i need to surround myself with my own hype machine. waiting til kickoff tomorrow is still too long...
mine's on Bittorrent. (Jk)
I watched the first three games, and I hope to watch the Super Bowl before the game tonight...
I've only gotten to watch the first quarter and most of the second quarter of the Kansas City game so far. I'll have to catch up a little later.
I just bought it at our local Hastings.

Labour is divided into three stages. During the first stage, your cervix (the neck of your womb) opens slowly, with regular contractions of your uterus. Once your cervix is fully opened (dilated), your baby can be born.
The actual birth is known as the second stage of labour and the third stage is the term given to the separation and delivery of the placenta from your uterus.
When your labour starts, there is no need to hurry to the hospital. It's important to stay calm and in tune with your body, which simply means alert to any changes that would indicate the labour is progressing.
Easier said than done, maybe, but trying to keep your environment and the people around you calm and relaxed will help you cope with any discomfort you might be feeling. It will also help you to properly assess what your body is doing and make the best decision about the right time to go to the hospital.
During the last few weeks of your pregnancy you might have already experienced some tightening of your uterus. These are known as Braxton Hicks contractions and - don't panic! - does not mean you are in labour. Braxton Hicks are completely normal and can occur regularly for some women, lasting for one or two minutes, with or without associated pain.
One of the most reliable indicators that labour is really on its way is when you have a blood-stained mucous discharge from your vagina. This is called a 'show' and is also very normal.
If you are alone, it's a good idea to contact someone to keep you company at this stage. If your contractions become uncomfortable, a warm bath or shower may help take the edge of your pain. Some women have said that by staying active and moving, it has helped relieve the pain. Staying active and moving around also helps your baby move into position, ready for the next stage of labour.
Contraction pains don't only happen in the abdomen - you might find that your back is also very sore. A hot water bottle, a massage or even leaning forward over a beanbag or large cushions may help relieve the pressure. Try different positions to see what works best for you. You might find squatting, walking, rocking on all fours or lying on your side helps, too.
By the time your contractions are 7-10 minutes apart, you'll need to start planning your next step. Ring the hospital and ask to speak to a midwife to let them know about your labour. The midwife will ask you some questions about what is happening and may advise you to come in, or stay home a little longer.
It's the right time to go to hospital when . . .
It's important to call the hospital to let them know that you are on your way. Take your hospital bag and your birth plan if you have one, and make sure that either you or the person taking you to hospital has a mobile phone - just in case of emergency.
At some hospitals, you are required to go to the maternity section, while others prefer you to go to the emergency section. Ask the midwife when you ring where you should enter the hospital.
First baby? On average, the first stage of labour lasts around 12-14 hours. For women who are having their second or more babies, the first stage of labour averages around seven hours. Of course, your labour may be shorter, or longer. Remember: If your labour is going very slowly, or if you believe there are any problems, seek medical advice.
Try to stay calm and focused. You are about to go through an amazing experience and meet a very special little person.

Below is
my second installment on suggestions of what to "pick up"
in your spiritual shopping cart during this second week of
Lent. (How is it going so far?)
1. Silence your
memory. Often we can forget, but we cannot forgive. I
suggest this Lent you try to let go of the
past. It is gone, and there's nothing you
can do about that. We cannot control our
future either… in fact, all we have is the very
second we are in. So why lose time
remembering what is past? Consider picking up and
adding to your shopping cart a phone call or a
visit to "that person" to simply say hello or to
ask forgiveness. You might even get an apology
in return…
2. Silence your voice. Leave the "Gossip Girls"
on television. We can write a new script
for our own life. We can pick up
and add to our cart the habit of speaking and
thinking well of others.
3. Silence your heart. Sentiments, emotions, desires, affections,
relationships… they can quickly drain our hearts. That
is why our nicknames sometimes become "Grumpy" or "Grouchy." Why not pick up and add to your cart
a pencil to write down all these emotions, sentiments and
desires…and bring them to the ONE person that can actually
do something about them: Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament
--the Eucharist.

Hey everyone, back with another installment of "Road Wild". I know the first time, I said I would be building my own version of WWE up until WrestleMania, but decided that was just too much to do since WWE kept throwing curveballs in the dirt. (Baseball reference)
So I've decided just to take the card, break it down, and give my thoughts and predictions for what I would like
As much as I want to do my own predictions for WrestleMania 29, I thought it would be better to list different scenarios for each match. But we'll start with the obvious ones.
Most likely to happen.
The Rock(c) vs. John Cena (WWE Championship)
- Based on the Rumble Results, this has about a 95% of happening. The remaining 5% would be a triple threat involving CM Punk.
Hey everyone, I have decided to start a mini-series of blogs, from now leading up until Wrestlemania 29. I've been seeing all these "Dream Cards", and thought of doing one of my own, but then realized I could build up to it, so that it would make sense.
So I'm starting with my TLC Predictions, and then moving on to how I think the Royal Rumble should be booked. (Until the Divas
Updated 12-17-2012 at 12:37 AM by jhorton1215
Based on what I've seen from the results of Summerslam, I've got a pretty good idea on what I believe will happen at NoC. I'm also still really confused.
WWE Championship: Sheamus(c) vs. Randy Orton
- Orton should get a rematch based off the finish. The Anon GM will likely make it No DQ or some sort of other gimmick match where Sheamus must win cleanly or lose

WILMINGTON - Police today investigated a shooting in Wilmington that wounded a woman and two men.
The shooting happened in the 1400 block of Pacific Coast Highway around 10:45 p.m. Tuesday, said Lt. T. Kim of the Los Angeles Police Department's Harbor Station, adding that it was not immediately determined if the shooting was gang-related.
The victims, all in their 20s, were sitting on a porch when three males walked up to them and at least one opened fire, a police lieutenant told a news photographer at the scene.
All three victims were taken to hospitals, Kim said. Their conditions were not immediately released.
The assailants fled east on Pacific Coast Highway, then north on Blinn Avenue, according to the police lieutenant at the scene.

Kasumi is an awesome character download for ME2 and has a very cool loyalty mission. Also did the DL mission where you get the hammerhead so far, but haven't done anything with it after the first mission with it.
I know everyone HATED the Mako, but I never really had a problem with it. And everyone seems to think the Hammerhead is like an uber-vehicle, I just think it's on the same level as the Mako. Both of them are cool, I don't really care for one more than the other.
Kasumi though is just awesome. Definitely one of my favorite characters from ME2 along with Thane, Jack, Legion, and Grunt. Some of her abilities are just a lot of fun to have around.
Might get into Overlord and the rest of firewalker tonight.

ANTIOCH — Caltrans officials say that a "milestone" has been reached in the project to widen Highway 4 through this city, as half of the G Street overcrossing nears completion.
Traffic on G will be switched on to the new portion of the bridge on the weekend of Nov. 30, according to a Caltrans news release.
All northbound and southbound G Street traffic will be shifted onto the new portion of the G Street bridge, which will allow construction of the eastern half of the bridge, Caltrans said.
Drake Street, Tregallas Road and Minta Lane will be closed during the bridge's construction.
The entire G Street overcrossing is tentatively scheduled to be completed June 2013.
Motorists are advised to expect delays and allow extra commute time.

The exhibit "Becoming van Gogh" might just be the most ambitious undertaking in the Denver Art Museum's 120-year-history.
The show brings together an impressive array of 70 works from the man many consider the greatest painter of all time, accompanied by another 20 from artists whose efforts inspired him. It will be in Denver for 13 weeks and travel to no other city.
Seven years in the making, the exhibit is a logistical wonder. The van Gogh paintings, drawings and prints were borrowed from 40 institutions and private collections across the globe.
Each loan was negotiated individually by curator Timothy J. Standring, who made dozens of trips abroad, persuading cautious museum directors and quirky collectors to send their precious van Goghs to a museum that does not have any of its own.
Then the works, valued together in the hundreds of millions of dollars and insured by a federal government program, had to be transported to Denver, an effort that required 22 separate shipments, each accompanied by its own courier and piles of paperwork.
When the show opens Oct. 21, it will present Denver with its first home-grown blockbuster art exhibit in decades and - if all goes as planned - finally fulfill the promise of big moments the museum made when it constructed its $111 million Frederic C. Hamilton wing in 2006.
"This is the most complicated exhibit the Denver Art Museum has ever done," said museum registrar Laura Paulick Moody, whose job is to keep track of the works as they come and go. "It has the largest scope, the largest number of paintings, the largest value."
A relentless pursuit
"Becoming van Gogh," which traces the origins and development of van Gogh's talents, is a career capper for Standring, a 23-year DAM veteran currently serving as the Gates Foundation Curator of Painting and Sculpture. Its very existence can be credited to the professional connections he has developed over time, but also to his personal powers of persuasion. He is a self-effacing guy whose sly smile paints a picture of optimism completed by his trademark bow-ties.
Former museum director Lewis Sharp bought into his idea of a large, van Gogh exhibit back in 2005 and Standring dove into the task of shaping an event that made art-historical sense.
What followed was a relentless drive to win the confidence of a tight-knit art community that controls the 800 paintings and 1,000 drawings van Gogh produced during his lifetime.
At first, the plan was to focus on van Gogh's years in Paris, where he did his most beloved paintings, but the scope changed as Standring and his partner, Louis van Tilborgh from Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum, developed a clearer idea of how to create an exhibit lenders would want to be a part of.
Ultimately, they decided on a retrospective that built a case for van Gogh's personal development as an artist. Mixed in would be work from his major influences, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Camille Pissarro and others.
In the end, Standring wrote more than 600 loan-request letters and made personal visits to nearly every lender. For five years, he traveled, previewing each piece. He worked the phones at 5 a.m. to catch colleagues in Europe.
"Nobody loans a multimillion-dollar painting on one loan letter," said Stand-ring. "You have to make your pitch."
It took three visits to the Staatliche Museen in Berlin to secure a loan of "Road Workers," a drawing van Gogh completed in 1882, and three more to Oslo to obtain the 1888 drawing "View of Arles from Montmajour" from Norway's museum of art.
TheArt Institute of Chicago turned down seven loan requests before agreeing to send the 1887 oil painting "Grapes, Lemons, Pears, and Apples."
A museum might refuse one thing and offer another, or change its mind when it switches management, or politely decline as one collection did in Milan, even though Standring appealed in person there three times.
"You have to sense their changing sands as well as their changing needs," Standring said.
His strategy was to "keep calling until they don't take my calls." He is satisfied with the art he collected.
With each success and rejection, Standring and van Tilborgh would regroup and recalculate which works they needed to make their point.
"You always dream of the impossible," said van Tilborgh in a phone interview from Amsterdam last week.
"That's the fate of every curator that puts together an exhibition."
Matter-of-fact master
DAM had serious competition for van Gogh's work. At the same time, the National Museum of Canada and the Philadelphia Museum of Art were hunting to stock their joint "Van Gogh: Up Close," a wildly successful exhibit that focused on the artist's nature paintings and wrapped in Philly in May.
But "Becoming van Gogh" had unique and attractive intellectual merits. Thematically honed, it promised a more structured and informational take on the 10 years - just 10 - that van Gogh made art before his death in 1890.
Van Gogh's personal struggles are legend, his mental illness and absinthe addiction, his famous moment of self-mutilation. But this show sets that aside, instead looking at how van Gogh taught himself to draw, how he learned about ink and oil and different kinds of paper, how he expressed his religious convictions through his choice of subject matter.
Room by room, by period and by geography, the exhibit follows the trail of a searching 20-something wanderer who decided he would be a professional artist, who began by imitating others then branched out into his own styles, who was affected by both the marketplace and the opinions of peers, who mastered the power of brush strokes, and who learned - in the show's colorful climax - to add in oranges and burnt umbers, to connect brilliant reds, golds, indigos into cohesive works of art.
This isn't a portrait of the romantic and irritable van Gogh his followers conjure up. It presents a thoughtful, calculating workman who wanted to be the best he could.
"Van Gogh was quite rational and systematic," said Standring. "And he had a fierce intelligence."
"Becoming van Gogh" is an exhibit that doesn't rely on big paintings to make its point. There are wheat fields but no big sunflowers, portraits of prostitutes but no cafes or dance halls. There are unremarkable early drawings of girls and miraculous late paintings of oranges, apples and grapes.
Its blockbuster quality comes from its entirety, not its individual pieces; from the supporters who paid for the research and the increased security; from the dare and ego of a smallish city like Denver to put it together.

More Evidence That Science is Still Clueless About Global Climate Controls
Levi Beckerson
January 8, 2010 7:34 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
For all we know, Al Bundy's socks may be the cure for the global climate crisis.
Will the war for global warming ever be won? That depends on the amount of information we can harvest, analyze and extrapolate from. In all likelihood, the only way we will know for certain if the Earth is heading for a global warming disaster is by waiting another few thousand years and looking at history books.
But, for those not comfortable with the wait and see approach, scientists continue to plunge into one of the crucial factors thought to govern global (I'm trying not to snicker) climate change, the global carbon sink system. Roughly composed of just about every living and even more dead things, these parts of local, regional and whole-Earth ecosystems are under high scrutiny as researchers try to understand how present day climate change will further affect future climate change. The popular idea seems to be that global warming is like a snowball rolling downhill – as it rolls it picks up more snow and eventually hits something and explodes. Exploding is bad for the Earth, honest.
From the University of Colorado at Boulder comes a study supporting the theory that extended growing seasons may not be the boon for the carbon sink that many have previously thought. At least not for subalpine conifers such as the lodgepole pine, subalpine fir and Englemann spruce. It turns out these trees depend much more upon snowmelt for their summer water fix than rainfall, and in years where spring comes early due to mild winters and low snowfall,
the trees actually take in less carbon dioxide
over the year than when spring arrives late with heavy snow still on the ground. Up to 60% of their internal water supply from stems and needles was identified to be from spring snowmelt rather than rainfall in the fall months. We can thank our friends the hydrogen and oxygen atoms for this precise identification work.
Since around 70% of the western USA's carbon sink is found in these subalpine forest ranges, watching the snow caps shrink yearly would definitely affect their ability to operate to capacity, should this study be accurate. Facts don't lie; snow good, carbon dioxide bad.
On a somewhat brighter note, according to researchers at the National Oceanographic Center, Southampton, another very large and poorly understood carbon sink may be completely underestimated in present carbon cycle models. Echinoderms, which comprise a vast portion of the ocean's calcium carbonate dump,
may sequester much more carbon yearly than previously thought
Echinoderms suck in carbon from seawater to form their skeletal systems and include such happy marine animals as star fish, sea urchins and sea cucumbers. When these animals find the end of their lifecycle, they typically sink to the ocean floor with their captured carbon and become indefinitely buried in the sediments. Some of the calcium carbonate finds its way back up the "biological carbon pump," but probably much less than is taken down to the depths.
This could mean that the ocean is once again showing itself to be far more excellent at helping regulate global carbon levels, or it could just mean scientists still don't really understand what's going on in there.
If these studies only prove one thing it is that we, as a global community, race, organism and observer still have very little understanding in the way all of our ecosystems work together to regulate the Earth's climate. It's far too early for any sane person to jump on the "we're melting, melting" or "Minnesota never left the ice age, what's your problem" camps. There simply aren't enough data to concretely support any given theory with certainty and these kinds of discoveries are shining examples of why.
"If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1,200 bucks for it." -- SCEA President Jack Tretton

Top racers speed up at Gurston
7:00am Friday 30th May 2014
By Journal Reporter
7:00am Friday 30th May 2014
By Journal Reporter
THE big guns were back at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb at the weekend.
After a wet practice day on Saturday with slower times, the sun came out in force on Sunday as the speeds increased with fantastic final run offs, writes Luke Clifford.
Adrian Lewis from Salisbury was excited by his Westfield Megabusa and a personal best on his second run on Sunday, doing 35.42.
He said: "I'm really happy with the new set up on the car, by racer Tom New of New Techniques in Southampton.
There is much more drive available and I'm much more confident going through Hollow."
Driving his Mitsubishi Evo 6, Stephen Moore from Stapleford was the only competitor in his class, finishing first with 34.75.
Hugh Kemp from Wylye, driving his Palliser WDF3, finished first in both timed runs on Sunday. His fastest time was 36.03. Chris Cannell and Sue Hayes, in their Force SR8, were up against tough competition and Cannell clocked 29.74 on his second run to finish third in class.
The two top 12 run-offs of the day were really competitive and nail-biting to the end. The first run-off was won by Wallace Menzies, doing 26.42 in DJ Firestorm, from Scott Moran and Trevor Willis. The second run-off and the final race of the afternoon was eagerly awaited and with temperatures the highest for the weekend, good fast starts were anticipated.
New set the pace doing 26.61, with Menzies coming back with 26.02. Willis couldn't quite get there with 26.36 and Moran pleased the crowd, flying up the hill doing 25.98 in his Gould GR61X.
Moran said: "I'm pleased with the run and my first win."
Moran is now leading the championship by one point from Menzies. The next action at Gurston is on June 21 to 22.
Salisbury's Stuart Waite qualified in pole from a grid of 28 at Rockingham circuit, Northampton, on Sunday in the second round of the Toyo Tyres Production BMW championship. He had a clean sweep with double poles, wins and fastest laps.
