SEVEN riders with seven very different stories.
The first ever Fast Track Draft has certainly been the talk of the sport in 2014 but, for the seven riders with links to Swindon who have taken part, has the quick route to the top proved fruitful?
One rider has seen his career come on leaps and bounds, another achieved his childhood dream before seeing it cruelly ripped away by injury, while the youngest of the lot is set to take his first steps on the road to the top this evening.
Two riders were quickly dropped due to poor form, one was picked in the draft but hasn't ridden a single meeting, while a further rider has quickly brought his speedway career to an end after a bad experience with arguably the biggest club in the country.
There were always going to be winners and losers in such a radical change to the sport in this country, that was a given, and although we won't know whether the scheme has been truly successful for a good few months or even years, the seven riders associated with Swindon have already provided us with a perfect snapshot just a few weeks into a new era for British speedway.
Worrall was the Robins' first choice in the draft and, aside from missing meetings due to his Premier League commitments with Edinburgh, has been an unrivalled success. Worrall has captured many fans' imaginations and proved just how far he's come on Friday night as he recorded the fastest time around Coventry this season and became the first fast track rider to get the better of an Elite League heat leader.
Worrall's been on fire in the Premier League this season too and is in no doubt how beneficial the quick route to the top has proved for him.
"You have to spend money to make money and that's a big part of this experience," Worrall said.
"I know myself as a rider and I know I can do things like (Friday night's performance) but it doesn't always happen. It's going pretty well at the moment.
"This draft has given me a big chance and the reserves are playing a massive part in the Elite League this year, even though some people don't like it.
"In the last few meetings for Swindon we haven't been winning because I haven't performed like I should but Friday was amazing."
Swindon's second selection was Josh Bates but, for a variety of reasons, he has never ridden a meeting in the Elite League. However, missing out on a chance of riding at the very top has not proved too detrimental to the young Yorkshireman after he won the British Under 21 title and also came within a single point of making it into the World Under 21 Final. What could have been had the youngster ridden for the Robins afterall?
"Things have gone alright to be honest and things have been good for me because I've not had that much pressure on me," he told the Advertiser. "The Premier League is a bit stronger and more difficult I think, rather than being a reserve in the Elite League.
"It's a shame I'm not able to go back into the draft now because a few clubs are interested, but I'm not allowed. It's meant to be helping us but I'm not allowed in so in that sense it's not been helpful in that way."
Without a doubt the most touching story of the draft was that of Darryl Ritchings, the local lad given the chance to shine so close to home. It ended very suddenly and all too quickly following the Purton rider's crash on April 3 which left him sedated for a fortnight but, with Ritchings well on the road to recovery now, the draft has allowed him to achieve a childhood dream which he otherwise may not have reached.
"It was such a big build-up with all the pre-season stuff and all the press, but to think I only completed one meeting and then just over a lap on my home debut is pretty sad," he told the Advertiser soon after leaving hospital.
"But I rode for Swindon which was a real honour although it's a shame it ended the way it did. Hopefully it's not the end though as I am hopeful of riding again."
Ritchings' replacement was Dan Greenwood who, despite giving it everything he's got, in truth just wasn't ready to make the step up in class. It showed. Greenwood will now go back to the National League and will look to work his way up again. Has the experience stunted his growth as a rider? Only time will tell.
"Obviously I would have liked to have had longer but Rosco has pressure on him to have riders who are performing so it's pretty understandable," he said.
"It's been tough, it was always going to be tough, but I enjoyed it all the same and it was a good experience.
"It's nice riding a lot and it's going to be a shame going back to just the one meeting a week when I go back to the National League. I need to go back there now and if I'm scoring maximums every week then maybe he might give me another chance.
"It's a massive step and the tracks are ones I'm not used to riding and I'm riding against National League heat leaders when I'm still only a second string there.
"I've already put a point on my average in the National League so if I keep on making progress like that then hopefully something else will come up."
The next man, or boy, to try and make the jump is Nathan Greaves. A 16-year-old of some pedigree who has won British title throughout age group speedway but, to date, has ridden in just one meeting in the Premier League on top of his National League commitments. We will soon see if Greaves is ready, and there's no reason why this chance can't be the making of him, but he will need to be given time.
"I'm going to do my best and whatever I'm going to do I will do," he said.
"Obviously I'm not expecting to come out with a nine average or anything silly like that but I will go with the flow and see what happens.
"National League is good because you can learn off their number ones, but if they were that good they would be in the Elite League so I can't wait to learn of people like Troy Batchelor and Peter Kildemand and see what knowledge they have to pass down."
The above are the five riders who have ridden for Swindon this season, or not in the case of Bates, but in Lee Smart and Ben Reade the town had two more hopes entering the top flight for the first time. However, neither lasted too long and were shown the door due to poor form. Reade was dropped by Belle Vue and then, just a few days later, was let go by Premier League Plymouth also, leaving him with the National League to concentrate on, while Smart has quit speedway altogether following his brief experiences with Poole.
"It's a tough one because I spent a lot of money this year for only six meetings, which is really hard to take, and I really wasn't happy with how things ended," he said.
"It definitely needs some changes because it has worked out for some people and really not for others. It didn't work for me.
"I've pulled the plug on speedway now, I've quit completely because I've had enough of all the politics and all the rubbish which goes with it.
"The whole season was awful because I was let down in the National League by not getting enough meetings, and things didn't go well in the Elite League either.
"I wasn't going to ride at all this year and I wish I had stuck to my guns in the first place."
The above testimonies go to prove what we all knew from the beginning, there will be winners and losers from this process.
What matters now is how the sport moves on from this first draft experience. Ditching it after just one year will be a mad waste of time, while making the top performing riders ineligable from being drafted next year would also be self defeating. Regardless of how well they perform this season, are the likes of Steve Worrall and Lewis Blackbird going to make Elite League top fives next year? I think not.
There need to be tweaks, there's no doubting that, with the system for booking guests just one thing which is causing plenty of problems, but every overhaul needs to start somewhere.
We probably won't see the full effects of this gamble for another two or three years so, in the meantime, let's just enjoy seeing that there are some talented young British riders out there and will them.

A GORSE Hill restaurant has been burgled twice in the space of a month, losing more than £2,000 and stock in separate break-ins.
The Buteco restaurant in Cricklade Road has been in business in the area for years under the management of Brazilian-born Paulo Rodrigues, who was shocked to find his cash register stolen and money taken from a secure safe overnight on July 30.
In the early hours of Wednesday morning burglars tried their luck again, but came away with a small amount of cash.
Paulo, 33, has now installed better safety measures and investigations into both incidents are ongoing with the neighbourhood policing team.
"The first time they took between £2,000 and £3,000, from the cash register and a safe at the back," he said.
"They broke in through the fire exit round the back, and the last time they broke the front door in.
"I have certainly learned my lesson from this, because that was pretty much all my bills for the month.
"I've just had to cope but it is a stressful situation as it is. When this is your life and you spend six or seven days a week here it hits home."
Paulo now has a new cash register and is updating security at the store with new CCTV, but had not expected repeated burglaries.
Police are not currently linking the two break-ins as part of their inquiries.
"There has been some frustration of working with the police," said Paulo.
"The response is they have got officers working but they are busy. The real frustration is this is the second time this has happened in the space of a month.
"We have got an alarm at the front door, and there are some friends living next door who heard the alarm.
"We managed to get the person who broke in the first time on our CCTV so we have a picture of the suspect.
"He's a white male, slim, wearing a beanie and a dark jumper with a white logo. He had red gloves on.
"We do not know if it was the same guy both times, but if they thought they had got away with it the first time, why not try it again?
"I'm getting extra CCTV and have got a new cash register already. I might get a dog as well but it shouldn't have to come to that."
Wiltshire Police say all the evidence is being reviewed.
"There have been two separate incidents of burglary which have taken place at the Buteco restaurant," a spokesman said.
"The first took place between 10pm on July 30 and 10am on July 31, in which the offenders have pushed their way in through the fire exit and stolen just over £2,000 and a quantity of beer.
"Investigations are ongoing with the local neighbourhood policing team into forensics and CCTV.
"The second incident was reported to us at 2am on August 20 in which someone pushed their way in through the front door and stole a small amount of cash.
"The investigation is still active and we are not connecting the two incidents."

RELATIVES of a Newport tot orphaned in an horrific overseas car crash are calling on the Prime Minister and the Queen to intervene in their battle for justice.
The family of two-year-old Mohammed Eisa Danial Hayat want David Cameron to write to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia requesting a full investigation into how five Britons were allowed to die there.
The youngster miraculously survived an accident which killed his heavily pregnant mum Bilques, 31, dad Mohammed Isshaq, 33 grandparents Shaukat Ali, 56 and Abida, 54 earlier this month.
Pharmacist Saira Zenub, 29, Shaukat and Abida's daughter, was the fifth tragic victim.
Shazada Hayat, Shaukat's brother, said the youngster's surviving relatives owe it to him to ensure no others suffer the same sad fate.
He said: "If this little boy could speak he would be screaming the house down saying 'my mother is dead, my grandparents are dead.'"
We look in his eyes and it's as if he's telling us find out how they died.
"The boy has become the voice of justice. He's asking 'who has let me down?' Did the state fail him? He has been orphaned and we have no answers."
Mr Hayat said the family were approached by the taxi driver when they left their hotel ahead of their planned four hour trip to meet relatives.
They booked him and travelled along the highway between Mecca and Medina.
But a short time into that journey, on February 8, Saira Zenub texted her sister to say the taxi was going "too fast," Mr Hayat said.
He said the car went straight into a concrete bridge, somersaulted off the road and ended up in a ditch.
Mr Hayat said Saudi Arabia should learn from Britain's example and take action against the perpetrators, punishing those who flout the law as a deterrent to others.
He said the country can afford to pay for speed cameras, more police officers on the road and driver checks, all which could save countless lives.
"Strong legislation must be brought in to make sure people are using proper vehicles with proper insurances. If they don't they have failed our little boy. One more fatality is too much," Mr Hayat said.
"We are aware the morgue is receiving bodies every day from that road. The Saudi authorities are under a duty of care to protect visitors on pilgrimage from drivers who drive with undue care and attention and who flagrantly disregard the rules and regulations."
Like the Hayat family, thousands of UK Muslims head to Medina for the pilgrimage every year, often catching taxis on highways which go on for miles and miles between deserts and mountains.
The Hayat family are rallying together community leaders and British parliamentarians to discuss the concerns with the UK's Saudi Arabian ambassador, His Excellency Mohammed bin Nawaf bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud.
Mr Hayat said: "Family and friends are confident that the plight of a little orphan boy will be heard and addressed by the mighty King Abdullah of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the guardian of Mecca and Madinah, which are two of the holiest places for Muslims in the world.
"Justice must be done for those who have lost their lives on Saudi soil, and to those who are still suffering as Mohammed Eisa Danial will for the rest of his life, and who faces a future without the love, care and welfare from his mum and dad," added Mr Hayat.
Saudi roads 'dangerous'
A ROAD safety expert suggested Saudi roads are "among the most dangerous in the world."
Speaking to the Saudi Gazette in November, Zeina Nazer said an average figures show 19 drivers and passengers lose their lives every day there.
The managing director of Innova Consulting and Secretary General of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Arab reported the number of fatalities grew by ten percent in 2012.
The article said the figures were despite government initiatives to save lives and reduce congestion.
'Miracle' boy has had birthday since crash
DESPITE the ordeal being far from over, the young boy's relatives have been trying to keep life as normal as they can for him back in Newport.
Mohammed Eisa Danial turned two on February 20 with a party.
His family said while he has returned to his happy ways, he is still deeply traumatised and will not go to sleep with the light off.
Mr Hayat, whose councillor brother Ibrahim is acting as a guardian for the boy, said this is because the crash happened in the early hours and he lay undiscovered, in the arms of his grandfather, for more than an hour.
"He has come out of it like an angel but the trauma is still there," he added.

After I picked up some pointers here, I have finally begun to throw sidearm, but what's working so far isn't "by the book". I cannot place the disc all the way into the "V" formed by my thumb and first finger. I have to place the edge of the disc an inch or so out of the "V", near the first finger knuckle. If I place the disc all the way into the "V", I can't get it to "snap" off my fingertips. I've found that the only thing that works is the split finger grip with both the pointer and middle finger pads on the inner edge of the disc. Also, I can't use much arm speed at all, or the discs flutters like mad. It's 90% wrist and finger action - hard to explain, but almost a hard push/forward flip with the wrist and fingers. I also can't grip the disc very tightly, or my method doesn't work. Doing it this way, I'm able to throw a speed 9 understable driver 160 to 180 feet - sometimes 200 feet. The disc won't "S" curve, but it does fly flat, which is more than I can get it to do thrown backhand. Most attempts to throw midrange discs, especially understable discs, results in the disc flipping over hard, diving to the ground, and becoming a roller!
I have a million questions, but the main one is this: If midranges are flipping over, it seems I'm getting plenty plenty of spin, and I guess plenty of speed, so why can't I get a speed 9 or 10 driver to go more than 180 feet or so? And, does this have something to do with my not burying the disc in the "V" of my thumb and first finger? Am i just "doing it wrong", and is that going to limit my progress? Any comments would be appreciated, as always.

I Prefer the '53 MyselfRebus brain teasers use words or letters in interesting orientations to represent common phrases.
If O2 is O=O.
H2O is H-O-H,
and CO2 is O=C=O,
then what might this represent?
HintWould MQ be M-Q or M=Q?
Answer"Bond, James Bond."
In chemistry, particularly organic chemistry, molecules are drawn using - and = to represent covalent bonds between the atoms making a molecule. (There are triple bonds too, but I can't represent those using the basic character set). A covalent bond has both atoms sharing an electron pair, or sharing two electron pairs in a double bond. In the initial examples, there are representations of oxygen, water and carbon dioxide molecules. The advantage in organic chemistry, for these representations, is that larger and larger molecules could have the same atoms but in different configurations, (such as ketones and aldehydes, for example).
The title is a quote from Bond in Dr No, referring to the age of the champagne bottle he was defending himself with. The hint is simply a reference to Bond's boss, M, and the research and development man, Q.

This team absolutely, without a doubt, must get some bench help. Preferably a shooter!
Tyreke seems to be the face of the franchise, Cousins seems to be a focal point as well but yet they are giving most last shots to Thornton.
Nice to see PD get some air time today!
Good win. DWest must have women lining up to have his babies. He is a man's man and his play this year is making me strongly consider re-signing him at the end of the year. And the contract we gave Hill doesn't look so bad after game-winners and big shots like the last couple of games.
Is it too soon to start the "Free Sam Young" campaign? Great effort from him.
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
I agree and I hope they don't resigning him for that kind of money, way too much for a guy that old.
2 of the Fresno 4 - guy in duck shirt and guy in black shirt behind me. I'm sitting in typical worried fashion, even though we basically had it by this point.
Also the Hear just struggled to beat the Spurs without their 6 best players (the 4 that Pop sat, and the 2 that're injured)
At this point we are happy to get W's
Right. Good teams never lose to or struggle with inferior teams. That's not the NBA I know.
Here are Mark Montieth's comments from last night game he is 100% righf, if you don't like his comments send him an email..
@MarkMontieth: David West and Roy Hibbert are kind of cancelling out one another so far. That's why the Pacers are 8-8.
@MarkMontieth: Pacers have won 4 of 5. But 6 of 8 wins have come against last-place teams and they have yet to beat team with a winning record as of now.
Yep he is just a Pacers hater and a contrarian, I repeat again if you don't like his comments send him an email.

Salvage a 2007 FEH?!?!
Short summarized version. Son and friends want to drive to Rosebowl to see their team play. Major engine problem in middle of Utah. Towed to nearest city with Ford dealership. Diagnosis: "lower engine rub" causing major banging sound. 3.5 qts of oil mysteriously disappeared (I personally confirmed full dipstick at their departure (3 week old oil change) Can get new shortblock engine installed for $6000. Repair would take 10 days and I live 1500 miles away. Dealership doesn't want to buy it....."no hybrid market in southern Utah" Recommend call salvage yard and see what they'll give me as Wholesale value is only $7000 to $7500. Does this sound at all logical/ accurate? The hassle of getting out to a small town in Utah to drive this back doesn't seem worth 1000 -1500 bucks if the numbers are correct. Any thoughts?? (approx. 82000 miles)

Minnehaha fire update: Working toward containment today
July 6, 2014
With a chance that thunderstorms will develop over the southern Sierra this afternoon, firefighters are working to get a line around the Minnehaha Canyon fire before they find themselves facing another threat.
More accurate mapping has resulted in the fire size being increased to 210 acres. The fire, which is burning in the Pine Nut Mountains east of Carson Valley, laid down over night, creeping and smoldering as about 110 firefighters worked to build a line around it. They've completed a line more than 30 percent around the fire.
Incident Commander Dave Fogerson said the grass and burned piñon pines from the 1994 Holbrook fire have fueled the fire.
"We have 108 firefighters, mostly hand crews working on the fire," Fogerson said. "We hope to complete a line around the fire today and then work on the heavy fuels that are producing the smoke in the interior."
High temperatures along the fire line have been responsible for three firefighters becoming dehydrated.
Fogerson said two helicopters and two single-engine air tankers are back at work on the fire. The tanker refill base at Minden-Tahoe hospital has been activated, decreasing the turnaround time for air drops.

"The weather today holds for possible thunderstorms, so we may see additional starts along with the wind influence on our existing fires," Fogerson said.
Temperatures are expected to hit 96 today with scattered cloudiness. The temperature on Monday is expected to hit 100.
Thunderstorms are expected to move north to Carson Valley by Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

Everyone knows how love stories go: boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy restores girl to original specs--well, that's how it works for Corvette owners anyway, and Jack H. Pape is a Corvette owner in the truest sense of the word. His love story began on March 30, 1958, "a warm and sunny Sunday," when Jack first drove the gorgeous fuelie you see here. Maybe it was that curvaceous body, like candy for the eyes, or the 290hp fuel-injected engine always itching for a ride; either way, Jack was hooked and there was no going back. He drove his charcoal ´58 with the top down all spring, pushing that four-speed transmission and cruising to the tunes on his Wonderbar radio. He had just turned 21, and things could not be better.
In August, Jack's tale turned tragic. He was out on the road with a buddy of his and, as he rounded a curve, he found himself face to face with an oncoming car. Jack turned sharply, avoiding the collision, but the Corvette flipped on the sloping shoulder. "Fortunately, neither my buddy nor I was injured, but my Corvette sustained quite a bit of damage."
Boy loses girl.
Jack, deciding that the fuelie was going to need some serious bodywork anyway, decided to customize his ride to set it apart from the pack. "I had the front and rear ornaments, reflectors, trunk strips, cross flags, side spears, rear bumperettes, and front license-plate holder removed. The car was then repainted Candy Apple Red and Gold." As you can imagine, this bold combination earned Jack quite a bit of attention, and he won several trophies in his almost-new show car. By the early ´60s, though, bright red was out, and Jack opted for another makeover, this time painting his Corvette British Racing Green with white rolled and pleated Naugahyde interior. This is how it would stay for three decades.
In 1962, Jack was married, and "family life" quickly followed. The Corvette was driven less and less until, in 1972, the rear spring broke and Jack didn't have the money to have it repaired. He covered his beloved convertible in old drapes, storing it in his unheated garage "without another thought until our family was grown." For 21 years the Corvette's only company was the pack of mice that had taken shelter in its engine.
In the summer of 1993, it was time--for the mice and the car--to come out. Jack and his wife Dorothy were hard at work cleaning out the garage, when Dorothy suggested pushing the Corvette out to give it a wash and maybe polish the chrome. As Jack puts it, "That was just the beginning! The bug to get it running and back on the road hit us hard." The engine, transmission, and fuel injection were all rebuilt due to mice damage, and the interior and body were both returned to their original colors.
Jack wants us to know that "This isn't the story about a Corvette I own, but one about a Corvette I love and have grown old with. My Corvette was driven and enjoyed like any 21-year-old would have, and now is loved for her classic beauty and treated like a lady by this almost 63-year-old." Now that's a love story.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — As she prepares for her second Daytona 500, Danica Patrick admits there are some tough days ahead for her in 2013.
She feels comfortable at Daytona, where she has run well in the past three years, but knows that every day won't be smooth in her first full season in the Sprint Cup Series.
"There will undoubtedly be really tough days," she said. "(But) … you can't let the tough days get you down. I'm sure they're going to happen."
MORE: Danica's divorce | Danica and supermodel | NASCAR Wives and Girlfriends
So in developing her 2013 plans, she will concentrate on stock cars, bypassing the Indianapolis 500 and running only select Nationwide Series races.
Patrick, who has the highest finish for a woman in the Indy 500 (third in 2009), confirmed Thursday that she would not run the Indy 500 for the second consecutive year.
Leaving open the possibility of returning to IndyCar's biggest race in the future, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver said she would focus on the Cup race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Memorial Day weekend.
"I can confirm to you today that I will not be doing the Indy 500," Patrick said Thursday between test sessions at Daytona International Speedway. "I'm just going to do the Coke 600. The team and I decided to focus on Cup. It's going to be plenty of work as it is.
"It's going to be important for me running for the championship full time for the first time to really keep myself focused with the Cup car."
Last year, Patrick also focused on Charlotte as one of her 10 Cup races while she also ran a full Nationwide schedule. This year, that schedule will flip with the full Cup slate and about 10 Nationwide races.
Which Nationwide team she will race for is still to be finalized. She said she has talked to Turner Scott Motorsports but hasn't signed a deal.
"I'm not sure if that is completely set," Patrick said. "I know there have been some reports that have come out about running for Turner. We're definitely talking to them and trying to figure it out.
"We're definitely working on that but there's nothing signed yet. The exact dates and the races and the sponsors have yet to be confirmed for all that."
Third on the speed chart in the first test session Thursday morning at Daytona, Patrick wouldn't make any predictions for 2013. She finished 10th in the Nationwide Series last year, the highest finish for a woman in a NASCAR national series, and also struggled with just one top-20 finish in her 10 Cup races.
"You can look a little bit of what happened last year as a bit of a baseline as to expectation levels and definitely areas that need work," Patrick said. "But it's a new year. It's a new car (for the Cup Series). A lot of stuff changes. … Everything changes a little bit and you can really never know what to expect."
Still, being third in the first test run after an early brake issue was a nice confidence boost for Patrick, who was involved in a crash on Lap 2 of last year's Daytona 500.
"I couldn't even tell the difference between the Nationwide and Cup car here," Patrick said. "It's pretty straight forward here at Daytona. I know that the most important thing … is the team itself is critical."
Patrick's team for 2013 is different than the one she drove for at SHR in 2012. For her last two Cup races in 2012, she worked with crew chief Tony Gibson and the crew that had been working with SHR driver Ryan Newman.
"It's important to have good energy together, understand each other well, work well together and I feel like the switch over to Tony Gibson and his team at the end of last season for the last two races was a really good change," Patrick said.
"I feel like I really saw some potential in having a good year this year."
She said the team plans a short-track test for her early next week and then will participate in the NASCAR test Jan. 17-18 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The team will then evaluate her performance and see if it needs to test more before the season starts a month later at Daytona.
"I feel really excited going into this season versus a lot of other seasons in my career," she said. "I just feel excited. I'm looking forward to it. Sometimes I get a little more nervous going into the year but I think we've just got such a good atmosphere on the team all around, it makes me excited."

All of Wholesum Family Farms' Mexican greenhouse growing operations are now Fair Trade certified, said Anthony Totta, who does marketing for the company.
"We've had quite a bit of demand from retailers who want to promote Fair Trade," he said. "All of our growing operations outside the U.S. are now Fair Trade."
If retailers request it, Nogales, Ariz.-based Wholesum can add Fair Trade stickers to products, and the company has point-of-sale materials for retail displays detailing the Fair Trade program.
Wholesum also is ramping up production of its three-minute "Kitchen Tips" videos, which run on social media.
The videos provide short tutorials on how to core a bell pepper, dice tomatoes, prepare eggplants and other advice on preparing and cooking the company's Mexican-grown greenhouse vegetables.
Wholesum packaging now features quick-response codes that link to the videos.
"We continue to expand our social media presence," Totta said.
New in packaging at Wholesum is an increased emphasis on overwrap trays and resealable bags with handles, he said.
The resealable bags, introduced at the end of last year, are "just getting off the ground," Totta said.
The size of the bags vary depending on the commodity. For instance, grape and cherry tomatoes may come in 2-pound packs; beefsteaks, three tomatoes to a pack; clusters, one cluster to a pack; and eggplant and cucumbers, two to a pack.
Totta also reported that more of Wholesum's retail partners are requesting the company's corrugated displays, which feature display-ready boxes.
Also new at Wholesum, at the Produce Marketing Association's annual Fresh Summit show in October, the company plans to highlight its new campanata product, which starts with an eggplant base and adds several other Mexican greenhouse vegetables grown and marketed by Wholesum.
"It's almost like a relish," Totta said. "It's a blend of almost all of our products into one."

HelsinkiWhile perhaps less popular than other Scandinavian capitals, Helsinki celebrates a quiet cool and achieves stylishness with humor and irony rather than intent. It was even voted the 2012 World Design Capital. With half of the city immersed in water, the dramatic coastline (covered in ice in the winter and gleaming in the summer sunshine) is definitely a highlight. Thanks to its rather cozy size, not far from any hotel Helsinki's quirky charm is waiting to be explored—beautiful Art Nouveau buildings, many museums documenting Finnish heritage, and restaurants unchanged since the 1930s, for example. Helsinki also had a recent food revival and now proudly draws crowds who travel for its local produce, fish, and meat, and an inventive and playful cuisine. To explore the speckling of islands, one can take a ferry from the many hotels Helsinki has to offer. Below find a list of our selection of boutique and luxury properties in Helsinki.

Justin Moore, Easton Corbin Meet Dog the Bounty Hunter and Wife
Justin Moore and Easton Corbin may be big country stars with diehard fanbases, but that doesn't prevent them from being fanboys of reality TV badasses. Both singers tweeted photos of themselves with Dog the Bounty Hunter and his lovely yet equally rough and tumble wife Beth at pre-ACMS festivities. They were psyched.

An old broad that enjoys books of all types. Would rather read than write reviews though. I know what I like, and won't be bothered by crap.
"When is a mutiny not one?"
The story reminded me of Mutiny on the Bounty. What do you do when your Captain is crazy? Is it better to do the insane things he asks or put him off the ship and wait to be rescued? This is the basic plot.
The Caine Mutiny. Same story, crazy captain and crew needs to justify their reasoning for the mutiny.
Good radio show, all are above par.

An excellent pitch of 5.6-5.7 crack climbing with a brief 5.8 crux at the top.

|It appears to me that this route is the same as the 5.6 C1 route described above. I would go with a 5.6 rating if you turn the roof on the left side. 2 stars only because it is so short. If it were longer it would be a very popular route.

[Ed.- duplicate route was submitted as "5.6 Crack" by Steve Matthys on Sep 24, 2002 with the following description]:
This route is the first route you will pass if you take the walk down to the base of the cliff. It is an obvious hand/finger crack that you can top rope or lead on trad. Great trad lead for beginners.
Small to midsize cams & Stoppers. For TR, some webbing and locking biners.

|Climbed this today - there's a handsized hold at the very top that is very loose and was detriment to finishing the route as it was before. Had the move left and use something else in order to finish. Be careful on that loose rock, could be quite dangerous for those below.
By Scott McMahon
From: Boulder, CO
Jul 2, 2012
There is also a second loose rock on the top 1/3 of the pitch. It's about a book-sized chockstone in the main crack, just before the roof. Mostly still solid, but it does shift and will get worse with more use as a hand and foothold.
FYI, the broken hold at the top makes the top out much harder and more difficult to protect. New leaders can escape to the right if necessary.

Perfect Chair For Oscars Viewing
Starting around 2 pm today I'll be sitting on my couch with a glass of wine (hey, it's Sunday!) watching the Oscars pre-show and checking out Pop and Fab's live Oscars coverage. While I wouldn't change my flat screen or couch for anything, I am geeking out over this new iMedia chair. It may look like something you'd see in a hospital bedroom, but boy do its features pack a punch.
Apparently, the chair allows a surround sound experience that's not possible with standard home theater systems and a personal screen attached to the chair allows for enjoyment of iPod video media. Auxiliary inputs allow for the connection of DVD, music and video game systems. Adjustable tactile transducer (bass shaker) allows you to not only hear but feel the action.
The screen which is attached to a swivel so the arm can be adjusted for each person who is viewing video from the iPod. The 3.5" touch screen allows for control of the iPod's functions, something that is unique. The iMedia chair isn't on the market yet, but if it were and I lived in a tiny studio, I might hide it under a pretty cloth and unveil it whenever I needed some good media time.

US holiday retail sales this year have grown at the weakest pace since 2008, when the country was in a deep recession.
In 2012, the shopping season was disrupted by bad weather and consumers' rising uncertainty about the economy.
A report that tracks spending on popular holiday goods, the MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse, said on Tuesday that sales in the two months before Christmas increased 0.7 per cent, compared with last year.
Many analysts had expected holiday sales to grow 3 to 4 per cent.
In 2008, sales declined by between 2 per cent and 4 per cent as the financial crisis that crested that fall dragged the economy into recession.
Last year, by contrast, retail sales in November and December rose between 4 per cent and 5 per cent, according to ShopperTrak, a separate market research firm.
A 4 per cent increase is considered a healthy season.
Shoppers were buffeted this year by a string of events that made them less likely to spend - superstorm Sandy and other bad weather, the distraction of the presidential election and grief about the massacre of schoolchildren in Newtown.
The numbers also show how Washington's current budget impasse is trickling down to Main Street and unsettling consumers.
If US consumers remain reluctant to spend, analysts say, economic growth could falter next year.

Forty participants in the annual OfficeMax ElfYourself campaign are due to join in next week's McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade in Chicago.
The elves will escort a candy train float along the parade route expected to be attended by 500,000 people and millions of television viewers. While on the parade route, the elves will distribute winter survival kits featuring cold-weather essentials such as lip balm, hand warmers and hot chocolate mix, and also invite spectators to enjoy OfficeMax's online and in-store deals this holiday season.
"We are as much a member of the Chicagoland community as we are a business here, and we're pleased to support a local tradition that provides an opportunity to spread holiday joy to Chicago residents," said Ravi Saligram, OfficeMax president and CEO. "We also are excited to give OfficeMax associates and their family members the opportunity to take part in our float and become a part of Chicago history."
OfficeMax contends its ElfYourself campaign launched several years ago is the most loved viral holiday website in history.

Most New Jersey vegetable crops are off to a slow start this year, particularly compared to 2012, when warm weather accelerated harvests.
"It's been a cool spring, a little cooler than normal," said Ben Casella, field representative for the New Jersey Farm Bureau, Trenton. "It seems that everything's slower than last year."
If the weather warms up and fields dry out, though, crops still have plenty of time to catch up, Casella said.
By early May, growers had begun planting tomatoes, peppers, squash and other crops — particularly those growing under plastic and hoops — Casella said.
"In south Jersey they do a lot of hoops," he said. "It helps lengthen the market."
Casella reported a marginal increase in the use of hoops this year, mostly among existing users who are increasing their acreage.
Most crops should begin shipping at the end of June or beginning of July this year, Casella said. Product under hoops should begin shipping a bit earlier.
Casella didn't expect any major changes in overall production in 2013, he said.
"I haven't heard of much one way or the other," he said. "They have their markets and know what they need."
Slightly more acreage than typical could be used to grow grains this year, Casella said. But little land would likely be lost to development.
"It was going pretty crazy for a while, but it's slowed down here in New Jersey," he said. "There really haven't been any big shifts the past four or five years."
Impact of weather
Spring started on the wet and cool side, but it also featured periods of unseasonably warm temperatures followed by unseasonably cold ones, said Bill Nardelli, president of Cedarville, N.J.-based Nardelli Bros. Inc.
That set back some harvest schedules one or two weeks.
By mid-spring, though, Mother Nature had calmed down a bit, Nardelli said.
"Things are straightened out now," Nardelli said the week of May 6. "Production has been very good."
One thing Jersey growers don't want, Nardelli said, is a quick switch from cold and wet to very hot. Some vegetables are more susceptible to tip burn if the weather swings from one extreme to the other.
Tomatoes, squash, peppers, others
Many New Jersey growers who cater to farmers markets and other direct-to-consumer channels are growing more varieties of tomatoes, Casella said.
"There's a little more diversification of varieties, including heirlooms and plums," he said.
Nardelli Bros. transplanted its squash, pepper and cucumber crops from greenhouses in late April and early May, right on time, Nardelli said.
"The quality and consistency looks good, and if the weather stays consistent, it looks like a really good crop and we expect some strong demand."
More seasonably normal temperatures — which were in the forecast as May progressed — should ensure that, Nardelli said.
Cedarville-based Eastern Fresh Growers Inc. expects to begin shipping squash about June 10, cucumbers in mid-June and peppers by the middle of July, president Tom Sheppard said.
Across the board, Sheppard expected a good year for Jersey vegetables, quality-wise, as of mid-spring.
Eastern Fresh's squash acreage should be similar to last year, its cucumber acreage should increase slightly and its pepper acreage is expected to be lower than it's been the past four or five years, Sheppard said.
Jersey growers who target farmers markets and other direct-to-consumer options also are diversifying the varieties of peppers they offer, Casella said.
In addition to leafy greens, Nardelli Bros. was shipping cilantro, dill, radishes and other items in good volume by the first half of May, Nardelli said.
This summer Formisano Farms, Buena, N.J., plans to add squash to the cilantro and dill programs it runs all spring and summer, president John Formisano said.
"We'll have a lot of squash this summer," he said.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE secretary who fell asleep at work, facedown on her computer keyboard? Or maybe you heard about the employee who broke down crying in his manager's office, admitting that he needed help for a problem he had been hiding for months-his addiction to alcohol.
SINCE WELLNESS PROGRAMS were introduced to the workplace more than 30 years ago, colleges and universities have offered employees a variety of free health perks and programs ranging from weight loss coaches and gym memberships to self-help classes.
Today's campus communities are more connected than ever, but at many colleges and universities the task of immediately notifying everyone about an emergency remains a challenge.

George Will had quite a few figures in his commentary "There is still no alternative to oil" that suggested there are no supply problems concerning oil. I think there are a few more figures that should be added to assess the oil supply situation.
As an example, non-OPEC oil production (crude oil + condensate) reached its highest level in 2004. In spite of the considerably higher price of oil now compared to 2004, the 2009 non-OPEC oil production level is over 600,000 b/d less than in 2004. In the next few years, non-OPEC oil production should drop considerably as production declines in Russia, China, the U.S. and other non-OPEC countries.
Why isn't non-OPEC production increasing as the price of oil increases? Mexico and the North Sea provide good examples of why non-OPEC production is not increasing.
In Mexico, the Cantarell complex was the second highest producing oil complex in the world as of 2004 at about 2.2 million barrels/day (mb/d). In 2009, Cantarell is likely to produce under 700,000 b/d as the field rapidly depletes. As Cantarell has declined, so has Mexican production, from ~3.4 mb/d in 2004 to ~2.6 mb/d in 2009.
North Sea oil production has declined from 5.95 mb/d in 1999 to ~3.7 mb/d in 2009 in spite of new, but much smaller, fields being brought on-line. Declining oil fields in the North Sea typically decline at an average rate of 10-15%/year.
Even within OPEC, there are serious problems with most of the larger fields where the bulk of OPEC's production comes from. As an example, the world's largest oil field is Ghawar (Saudi Arabia) which has been in production since around 1950. Well over half of the oil that was originally in the reservoir has been extracted creating major difficulties maintaining the production level of the field. When Ghawar starts declining, it likely will decline at a rate of 450,000 b/d/year or more in the early years of decline.
Due to the large number of declining oil fields throughout the world, it presently takes about 4 mb/d of new production each year just to maintain global production at a steady rate.
Mr. Will talks glowingly about deep-water fields without appreciating the technical and economic difficulties of extracting the oil. As an example, much has been made in the U.S. media about 2 relatively recent discoveries in the deep-water Gulf of Mexico (US): Jack and Tiber. Both fields are at roughly 30,000 ft in depth. Because of economic and technical difficulties, the fields are not projected to start producing oil before 2020 if they are developed at all. By then, all of the presently producing deep-water GOM fields will be in deep decline. Only the larger deep-water fields are likely to ever be developed.
Mr. Will also talks glowingly about how much oil is in the Athabasca Tar Sands region of Canada. He doesn't appear to appreciate the difference between volume of oil, the possible maximum rate of production and how quickly the rate can be increased. With luck, oil production in the tar sands region may ultimately rise to ~3 mb/d. In a world with projected demand of over 100 mb/d within the next 20 years, 3 mb/d is fairly trivial. A significant problem with tar sands development is that the rate at which production can be increased is relatively low. In spite of the tens of billions of dollars spent on tar sands development in Canada in the last few years, Canadian oil production has decreased over the period because the decline rate of conventional oil production in Canada has been greater than the production rate increase from tar sands development.
Finally, it's unfortunate that Mr. Will places so much importance on "proven" oil reserves inasmuch as the figures are essentially worthless. There is no independent organization that audits the "proven" reserves of individual countries to give credence to the figures. It's well known that many countries highly inflate and don't update the figures they provide.

Marsh Landing Generating Station
Docket Number:
08-AFC-03 (Application For Certification)
08-AFC-03C (Compliance Proceeding)
Project Status:
Licensed; In Compliance Phase.
Operational: May 1, 2013
The California Energy Commission approved this project's Application For Certification on August 25, 2010. The Commission monitors the power plant's construction, operation and eventual decommissioning through a compliance proceeding.
Key Dates
- 5/30/2008 - Application for Certification (AFC) filed
- 9/24/2008 - Commission accepts AFC as "data adequate."
- 4/26/2010 - Commission staff releases Final Staff Analysis.
- 7/23/2010 - Committee releases Presiding Member's Proposed Decision.
- 8/25/2010 - Commission approves Application for Certification.
- 5/1/2013 - Power plant on line and producing power.
Mirant Marsh Landing, LLC filed an Application for Certification (AFC) on May 30, 2008 to construct and operate the Marsh Landing Generating Station (MLGS), a 930 megawatt (MW) natural gas-fired combined cycle power plant, just north of the City of Antioch in Contra Costa County. On September 19, 2008, the applicant provided a Data Adequacy Supplement to the AFC to satisfy the Energy Commission's informational requirements. On September 24, 2008, the Energy Commission accepted the AFC with the supplemental information as complete. On September 16, 2009, Mirant Marsh Landing submitted an amendment to the AFC modifying the MLGS to constitute a nominal 760 MW facility consisting of four combustion turbines operating in simple-cycle mode.
The MLGS facility is proposed for a 27-acre industrial site north of Wilbur Avenue, one mile northeast of the City of Antioch, and south of the San Joaquin River. Highway 4 and the Antioch Bridge are approximately 0.7 miles east of the site. The MLGS would be constructed adjacent to the recently-completed Gateway Power Station and the existing Contra Costa Power Plant (CCPP), an older facility which is scheduled to be retired when the Marsh Landing Generating Station is complete. The existing CCPP has a once-through cooling system, which draws cooling water from the San Joaquin River and then discharges it back into the river after use. The new MLGS would be a simple-cycle facility that would not use river water for cooling or process water requirements. The MLGS project would have a nominal electrical output of 760 MWs generated from four Siemens 5000F combustion turbine units operating in simple-cycle mode. The new 230-kV circuit lines would be interconnected to the existing PG&E switchyard located adjacent to the MLGS site. The MLGS would use natural gas that would be delivered via a new pipeline that would connect to PG&E's interstate gas transmission Line 400, which runs approximately 0.25 miles east of the MLGS site.
If approved by the Energy Commission, MLGS would take approximately 27 months to construct, with a workforce of 272 tradesman and construction workers and a budget of $550 Million.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.

Hello, Summer...
I've been missing from this space for months. It seems that writing dissertations takes up a lot of time. Even when there is lots of procrastination involved. In an ideal world I'd be telling you about the many, many new recipes I tested during this time. But not today.
Looking through my archives I came across this photo from the end of summer last year. It was meant to make its' way into a post but somehow never did. How lucky to have found it now since it gave me a chance to do some more digging and come up with the recipe for this luscious ice cream.
I first came across it when I was searching for ways to use up a large tub of Labneh (yogurt cheese) in my fridge. I had halved the recipe since I was skeptical and was in no way prepared for how delicious it was going to be. The addition of yogurt adds a smooth, rich flavor similar to cream cheese but contains far less fat making this a less guilty summery treat. I adapted the original recipe only in that I used pureéd mangoes instead of strawberries. But having made it with both mangoes & strawberries and then just plain, without fruit pureé, we love all three versions equally well chez moi.
I've got a batch already chilling in my fridge, ready to be churned. Meanwhile here's the recipe because I know you'll want to try it:
Mango Cheesecake Ice Cream
adapted from the recipe here
7.5 ounces (about 1 cup) Labneh or yogurt cheese (recipe here)
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 whole milk
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup mango pureé
In a stand mixer, beat the cheese and sugar till smooth (around 2 minutes).
Add in the milk and cream and continue beating on medium till smooth. Mix in lemon juice and salt. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Churn in ice-cream maker, freeze at least 2 hours.
Mango Pureé :
1.5 Lb chopped, fresh mango
1/4 cup sugar (use more if your mangoes are not sweet)
Pureé the fruit and sugar together. Chill in fridge till ready to use.
To assemble:
Add a thin layer of pureé on the bottom of your ice-cream container. Top with a third of your ice cream and gently swirl with a spoon. Repeat layers and swirl, ending with a layer of ice cream.
