The 7+ mile trip from Mill Valley to Stinson Beach along the Dipsea Trail is legendary. Since 1905, a single crossing race of the Dipsea has been held almost every year making it the oldest cross country running event in the nation. The course is spectacular with sweeping views of the rugged Marin Coastline, San Francisco, and Stinson Beach. The trail entails 671 steps in just the first half mile out of Mill Valley and there are also hundreds more steps in the lush, redwood-filled Steep Ravine. The annual Dipsea race in June attracts thousands of people. The Dipsea is a big deal in Marin!
Fortunately, there are fewer runners jumping at the opportunity to run the Dipsea Trail four times, with a cumulative elevation gain of 9,276 ft packed into only 28.4 miles! The Quad Dipsea is held annually on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and this year was the 28th running of the event. I had run the Quad in 2008 in virtually idyllic trail and weather conditions, but was unfortunately sick before, during, and after the event. This year, I wasn't feeling sick so it was definitely going to be more fun, but inclement weather would make the course even more arduous than it already is.
There was a break in the rain as the event started and I took advantage as best I could running the first leg to Stinson Beach in ~53 minutes. I felt comfortable and continued a similar pace back to Mill Valley in ~55 minutes for a 1:48 double. I was feeling pretty good at the turnaround, but I knew the trail would not be in good condition after 230 people stomped through the wet surface. Moreover, the weather was starting to deteriorate again with moderate rain showers and a cold wind picking up on the ridge. The trails became a muddy, slippery mess, but I still made it back to Stinson in ~61 minutes. The course record (3:52) was within reach at this point and it was great to have the encouragement of Ann Trason, the most accomplished ultrarunner of all time, at the Stinson turnaround. However, sliding in the mud was beginning to take its toll and I became tired climbing the stairs out of Steep Ravine. I still had a chance at the record at the top of Cardiac, but alas, the trail conditions were not in my favor for a sudden acceleration in my pace. Approaching the steep section along Dynamite heading into Muir Woods I took one of several falls, but this wipeout caused some painful cramping that hindered my ability to run up the final climb up to Windy Gap. An extremely generous participant kindly handed me a couple salt tablets that definitely helped keep the cramping at bay (if you're reading this posting, thank you!). Heading down the final flights of stairs into Old Mill Park, I knew I fell short of the record by a couple minutes, but I was extremely pleased with the effort on this challenging day, finishing in 3:54:29. I am grateful to join Erik Skaggs and Carl Anderson as the only men to run under 4 hours at this venerable event and run the fourth fastest quad ever.
A huge congratulations goes out to Caren Spore, who broke the women's record running a 4:38:33 (fifth place overall!). Also, my training partner and co-director of Boggs Mountain Trail Races, Gary Gellin, ran an amazing race for second place coming in at 4:02:32. Congratulations to all the participants for braving the conditions and especially those who have finished numerous Quad Dipseas! It was great to chat with other runners after the event and enjoy the snacks and soup. A big thanks to Race Director John Medinger and all the volunteers who make the Quad Dipsea the classic event that it is.

A while ago, Stanczyk bemoaned iOS5. Therefore, I owe it an update …
- Portable Genealogy is sound – Ancestry App better than ever
- The Camera App in iOS5 does have a zoom. In fact if you use the familiar "pinch-gesture" you can zoom in/out and the old zoom slider appears too. Also you can use the Volume Up button (on the side of the phone to take a picture — helpful when the camera is rotated.
- Just having the iPhone was very useful during the #RootsTech conference as my note taking device. Until iPad2(3) arrived(s) and it has both WiFi/G3 (LTE) I would have been without blogging capabilities in the Salt Palace convention center when its WiFi would go down. I utilized the #RootsTech App (for iPhone & there was one for Android too).
- In the library it was my digital camera.
- In fact the ImageToText App came in handy to OCR an image of text for me
- I used the Ancestry App to enter the transcribed text from the microfilm images right into the evidence (note area) of the app of an indivividual and attached the iPhone picture too.
- In one case, I was able to get an immediate shaky leaf as a result of my data entry — much to my disbelief (and it was correct). So I could do an immediate on-site analysis and do further microfilm searching as a result.
- I used the Bump App to swap contact info with one genealogist. I cannot wait until all genealogists become mobile-enabled and lose my business cards altogether. Hint to RootsTech Vendors you should use Bumps too to collect user info. Why do I have to drop a business card into a fishbowl??? Do a BUMP, get a chotsky (swag). Leave the fishbowl for the Luddites.
- Are you a Slavic (Czech, Pole, Russian, etc.) genealogist? Then you must be dying for diacriticals. You could add an international keyboard. But why? In iOS5, just press and hold down the ' l ' key and up will come a list including the slashed-l. Just slide your finger over onto the slashed-l to enter that. Likewise, for entering 'S, E, A, Z, C, N, etc.' too — works upper/lower case. Of course if you have German ancestors, you can get your umlauts too in the same fashion. That trick is a Latin Alphabet data entry trick (sorry Cyrillic or Hebrew readers — try the International Keyboard trick).

So, it seemed fitting on the penultimate day of collections that a lookahead to cooler weather wear was featured among the runway presentations on Day 4 of the event.
Rudsak: The Montreal-based leather goods retailer celebrated its 20th anniversary with a fresh slate of looks which stayed true to the brand signature of slick outerwear pieces and accessories.
Rudsak founder and creative leader Evik Asatoorian channelled rocker chic with his reliable roster of cool leather looks, like moto jackets, shorts and pants largely in black and white. But it was the unexpected flashes of prints and adornments which helped to further propel the range.
Snakeskin print accents on vests, shorts and collars, metallic suspenders and a shirt flaunting studded elbow patches were among the distinctive standouts. The label also demonstrated a keen eye and deft touch with more delicate pieces, like sheer blouses and pretty collared minidresses.
Caitlin Power: With vivid hues, striking patterns and razor-sharp tailoring, Caitlin Power offered a fresh, bold take on classic womenswear.
The Calgary-born, Toronto-based designer cited a recent sojourn to the French Caribbean as inspiration for her spring-summer line, aiming to pack a punch with bright shades and prints channelling influence from the islands.
Indeed, Power demonstrated that outerwear, suits, blouses, pants and other polished separates designed for the office or after-hours don't need to be staid or steeped in basic shades like black, navy or grey.
There were plenty of deep reds, rich browns and lush greens in the range, and no shortage of details to add visual interest to the garments, like leather panelling on shorts, enlarged keyhole accents on blouses and plunging necklines on fitted suit jackets and dresses. Power added inventive flavour, texture and eye-catching embellishments with criss-cross designs, large-scale graphic print emblazoned on coats and skirts and subtle patterns dotted on shorts and blazers.
Despite the injection of stronger colours, teamings of traditional and more muted hues were also on display, such as black panelling and trims on a sleeveless blouse to the flash of tan fabric adorning the hem of a black dress.
A trio of models sporting fitted, chevron-patterned leather dresses closed out the presentation of cohesive looks.
Soia & Kyo: The Montreal-based label showcased a minimalist approach to its range of basics, eschewing power pigments and ultra-bright shades for a muted palette of pastels and neutrals.
The collection from creative director Ilan Elfassy was inspired by "a fresh, light and airy rooftop garden." The line featured shades like blush pink, baby blue, mocha, sand, tan, cream and mint and was free from excessive embellishments, instead opting for suedes and quilted materials to enhance appeal with soft textures and patterns. The slate of monochromatic separates made outerwear the focal point with a variety of light puffer coats, trenches and varsity-style jackets unveiled.
Target: While collections featured during Fashion Week have been looking ahead to warm-weather styles for the year ahead, Target had its sights set on the short term, placing stylewatchers in a festive mood with a preview of its holiday fashions.
The U.S. based discount giant — which launched its first stores in Canada in March — is known for its distinctive bull's-eye logo, bull terrier mascot and affordable fashions, including high-profile designer collaborations with labels like Missoni and Vancouver-raised Jason Wu.
The retailer literally rolled out the white carpet onto the runway as beaming models donning colourful tuques and caps stepped out in styles suitable for chillier temperatures — complete with fake snow cascading from the rafters and holiday anthems blaring from the speakers.
There was plenty of outerwear to choose from, with colourful and graphic print coats including toppers in teal, check patterns and polka dot print. Houndstooth was among the standout patterns for the season ahead, with traditional black and white and red prints in varying sizes colouring pullovers, skirts, jackets and relaxed pants. But rest easy, plaid aficionados: the tried-and-true, classic lumberjack print as well as large-scale check patterns remain ever-present staples heading into the winter.
For the men, it was a contrast of refined formal looks and laidback styles, with turtlenecks and blazers and more casual cardigans and pullovers. The coloured pant trend shows no signs of slowing, with separates in red and green featured alongside traditional denim blues in slender silhouettes.
Whitney Linen: The Toronto-based online shopping boutique devoted to all things linen didn't disappoint with a collection of wearable separates suitable for idle lounging in style or an upscale night out.
Whitney Westwood kept the palette simple, with white, camel, navy and pale blue hues. Garments for day wear included pants in both tailored and flowing styles, wrap jackets, bow blouses, cargo shirts and shirtdresses. For the men, the looks were equally relaxed with tailored long pants, shorts, tuxedo shirts, blazers and scarves and a snapshot of sleepwear attire with cosy drawstring pants and a roomy bathrobe.
A summertime staple — the caftan — featured a vivid patterned print punctuated with striking navy, blue and yellow shades in both long and short variations of the overdress. The same fabric was also fashioned into an slinky top with open sleeves and a raw finish.
Transitioning from day to night styles, a satin-adorned navy tuxedo and a dual-tone halter gown were among the standout closing looks.
Day 4 also featured a runway presentation from Narces.
Fashion Week concludes on Friday.

NASCAR's DVR Theater In Full Swing
As part of the on-going fan discussion here at TDP, we have been asked to talk about the programs that sometimes slip below the radar where NASCAR TV is concerned. Unfortunately, this season the pickins' are slim.
These non-primetime shows and off-network offerings are often put in timeslots where they need to be recorded to be seen by most folks. Hence the term, DVR theater.
ESPN Classic is re-airing the weekend's Sprint Cup races on Mondays at Noon. Formatted for three hours, this is basically an "classic instant replay" while ESPN still has the rights to show the race. It is a straightforward re-air with no frills that is cut down if needed to fit the time period.
As the Chase races wind-down, look for ESPN to throw some additional NASCAR programming on Classic. This week's historic race is a beauty. On Thursday at 1PM ET the 1976 Daytona 500 lives again complete with the original announcers. This is a good one to record as Richard Petty and David Pearson have a difference of opinion on the final corner of the final turn. The rest is history.
SPEED used to replay the Cup races in primetime during the week, but those days are long gone. Instead, the network offers a replay at Noon on Thursdays. This version has been run through the NASCAR Media Group folks who get it all cleaned-up and pretty, but it is essentially the same as the ESPN Classic Monday offering.
Unfortunately, even after cancelling The Chase Is On this year, SPEED has not added any additional NASCAR programming during the week. That leaves This Week In NASCAR on Monday and the Thursday Cup replay as the program offerings until the live shows from the racetracks begin on Friday.
The gaping hole in the SPEED schedule is the lack of a weekly TV program in support of the Craftsman Truck Series. This is the only major NASCAR series that SPEED carries. It tries to survive outside of the racing with only a thirty minute pre-race show and some weekend highlights.
With no sponsor for next season, Dodge factory support gone and only 31 trucks in the last race, SPEED's reluctance to expose the series beyond the track may have actively helped it come to a grinding end.
It seems that this season NASCAR is destined to run all the way to Homestead with little long-form TV programming exposure during the weekdays. Yet, somehow Sirius manages to keep a full-time NASCAR channel on-the-air twenty-four hours a day and the search activity on YouTube.com for "NASCAR" is one of their busiest categories.
What all of that means is lots of folks are out there looking for more audio and video information about the sport. It seems ironic that normally when audio and video are combined, the result is TV programming. This season, that certainly is not the case for NASCAR.

I am looking forward to the re-play of the 1976 Daytona 500. I remember watching that race as a teenager and think that this one of the best finishes in Daytona history or in NASCAR period.

I just set the reminder timer for tomorrow's race. It's only on for an hour? Better than nothing, I guess.
If they show any pit stops, pay attention to how long they take. And the speeding down pit road? Those were the good ol' days. It's just amazing. Those are the things I like to watch. It's a wonder these guys survived.

It is a shame that the best racing in NASCAR these days--the trucks--gets the least TV support.
I suppose the series is on the way out, which is a real shame.

I can't believe that King Brian and

closest thing to the Nascar I grew up with.

well, i sure would love to watch the '76 daytona 500 but no espn classic here and none projected into the future.
what i can't quite understand is why speed doesn't have more nascar content during the week. espn covers pretty much anything and everything sports, however poorly it handles nascar, but isn't speed tv supposed to be covering "all things fast"? in an ideal world, speed would dig out all those great races from "back in the day", broadcast them on a weekly basis and push nascar media group to get them on to dvd for fans. our sport has a rich and exciting history but fewer fans know that each year.
and i agree with dot: how much more would the nascar viewer appreciate those 13-14 second pitstops after watching those earlier races? and watching those guys speed down pitroad just takes your breath away now: watching some of that happen might help folks understand why there's a speed limit on pitroad and why it's a non-negotiable for nascar! not only that, but seeing the changes in our sport might bring some names "out of the dust" for newer fans and help explain why some of us can't stand that, for example, the wood brothers are no longer a factor in nascar and petty enterprises is struggling.
as for the trucks? i agree with our anon posters on this: best racing each and every week and yet you rarely hear about it on NN or TWIN or any of the other support programs. i actually passed on getting tickets for cup at dover in the spring and opted for truck tickets instead. what needs to happen is that the trucks need to be given the same attention as n'wide at the very least. everyone who is so frustrated with cup racing needs to watch a truck race or two in order to remember what great racing is really about!
in general, nascar is horrible at promoting its own history to fans and more's the tragedy. the footage exists "out there" and getting it on tv more often and giving it a broader reach could only help create some renewed interest in our sport. but nascar's media partners just don't seem to agree and appear to be content to push the past into the back reaches of the media closet and only hype the current racing. a sport that actively ignores its history cannot claim to be surprised when fans turn away from it.

JD here in Tampa Brighthouse replays old races kind of at random on 2 of the "local" sports channels. So not only do we DVR those ( & burn to disc) we also get races from "local"
tracks . Now if Brighthouse could get Hotpass I'd be in heaven. Wait hold that thought I'm old retired & in Florida.
So now we got the 76 Daytona 500 race too. Thanks JD!

So you are placing some of the blame on SPEED Channel for supposedly "ruining" the truck series? Is there word from NASCAR that I have not recieved about truck racing not returning next year?
Big deal. 31 trucks at a race out west. Thats not a surprise and nothing new. As for the sponsorship search, thats what it is a SEARCH. Craftsman reportedly may be returning but there are also a couple of other front-runners.
Is the Truck Series in its prime? No absolutely not. But is in a a dier situation and a risk of not returning? Absoluetly not. Once again it seems to be a slow "news" week. But then again, this site supposedly isnt a news site.

Anon 12:49PM,
It's so nice to hear from you again. Listen to me very carefully.
I am placing the blame for the problems with the Craftsman Truck Series direcly with SPEED.
That clear enough for you to understand?
Imagine having only one major racing series completely on the network and as a bonus it is one of only three national touring NASCAR series.
Now, imagine deciding not to give that series any support programming on your network that is a key TV partner for NASCAR.
As we have said many times, SPEED is in the middle of a major identity crisis where NASCAR is concerned and you need not look further than the cancellation of "The Chase is On" this year.
In the same way that ESPN helped to vault NASCAR to the place it is today through the wonderful coverage of the 1980's and 90's, the lack of support for the Trucks by SPEED is going to be a key in whether or not that series can return and be viable.
That "slow" enough for you?

If there is any logic to SPEED's programming decisions it is so intricate that no mere mortal can figure it out - unless it is just leave weekday programming up to the interns. I am constantly mystified - especially since I understand SPEED's ratings for the Truck races are up significantly this year. SPEED must be where all the crack NBC programmers went - after running NBC into the ground.

- September 25, 2008 at 6:35 PM

I constantly get updates from SPEED about the upswing in Truck ratings only to have the network again turn-down any additional programming.
It makes no sense to rely on a brief mention on NASCAR Now or TWIN to support an entire series.
With the best racing, the most colorful characters and a potential for growth, it is amazing why SPEED shunned this series again this season.

@dot--yes they use to show it in 3 hours all the time, it kept me sane many a "off" season...but now most are an hour :(
@anon 8:49 & 8:54--I agree :(. When ESPN had them I don't know if they were promoted much...would only tune in an an ungoldy hour to see it on tape delay. How many races have we had where it was 3 and 4 wide for the checkered...folks beating and banging and one losing flying across the track under the checkered :(.
@red--I know...it's a shame how they've gone downhill on programming :(. Back in 2K3, you could leave your TV on SPEED all week and find something fun to watch.

As far as racing goes, the trucks are by far the best racing out there. Those guys are hungry and for as little purse money paid to them, they're after every position they can get. That's why they say the "Trucks Series don't play nice!".
I live in Tennessee between Knoxville and Nashville. My local Knoxville TV stations NEVER advertise anything about the races at Nashville where the Nationwide and Truck Series run. Not one word about an upcoming race at Nashville on the local TV sports or in the newspapers. Most locals don't even know when races are held there.
JD, do other tracks advertise locally and beyond or do they leave it up to the loyal fans to do their advertising (by word of mouth) to pull in new fans? I've seen commercials for Pocono, Bristol, and a couple others but never for Nashville SuperSpeedway on our Knoxville stations.
Do you think a commercial campaign by NA$CAR could help the sport and maybe save the Truck Series?

I am just waiting for SPEED to drop Tradin Paint for a new Texas Hold 'Em poker show with an automobile theme. We could always use another poker show on TV. That'll fit right in with other programing decisions SPEED has made.

I just saw a report that Camping World is close to becoming the Truck Series sponsor for multiple seasons. So there's a positive sign, but they still need to do a better job of promotion and support for the series.

Oops...I forgot to say in my previous post that it was a positive sign for the series, but it might be a function of robbing Peter to pay Paul by taking some funding away from teams, and other areas, to keep the overall series funded.

Well sometimes less is more, and that is SPEEDS approach. If they gave more programming to trucks it may give people a reason not to watch the truck race because they can just see a recap/replay of the race on a wrap-up show.
More people are likely to turn into the race if they know its one of the only times they will see this type of programming.
- September 25, 2008 at 10:52 PM

Support programming is a category that goes along with sports event programming.
Most people see it when teams are surrounded by weekly highlight and coaches shows.
Series like the PGA Tour are supported by review, preview and interview shows sometimes called video magazines.
The original intent of Fox when buying SpeedVision was to make it an all-NASCAR channel.
To now be battling for just one TV support series to help out the only NASCAR series that SPEED telecasts is a tad ironic.

HDnet has been available on DirecTV since Dec 2001. It was exclusively on there for a couple of years, I believe. But I'm pretty sure several cable systems have picked it up in the last couple of years, though possibly not Comcast. I also am pretty sure FIOS carries the network.

Yeah, that's why SportCenter doesn't show game highlights, because then people won't watch the games, right?

I know this is an old thread, but just FYI, here's an article about Comcast finally agreeing to carry HDNet after years or refusing to for some obscure reason. This is one reason I got rid of cable 13 years ago. Haha!

A century ago, when fiery steel mills were roaring to life in Youngstown, Ohio, builders were racing to put up homes, storefronts, barbershops and more.
Today, many of those buildings sit empty and rotting. With the mills mostly gone and the population down 60 percent from 1960, to just 67,000, the city needs millions of dollars to tear down roughly 4,000 vacant structures.
This year, they may get help. It's possible that what's under the city could be converted into cash to help clear away what's on top. The city is hoping to generate demolition funds by leasing parks, rights of way and other public lands to companies drilling for oil and natural gas.
Youngstown sits atop shale formations that may contain largely untapped reserves of fossil fuels. By using hydraulic fracturing — or "fracking" — techniques, energy companies can recover oil and gas and make money. But they need access to land to set up drilling operations.
The 'Frackmolishing' Plan
Last fall, the city council agreed to seek bids for mineral rights on city-owned parcels, which collectively add up to several hundred acres. As early as this summer, Youngstown officials plan to consider lease proposals for $5,000 to $7,500 an acre, plus signing bonuses.
DeMaine Kitchen, chief of staff for Youngstown Mayor Charles Sammarone, is a proponent of this plan, which some refer to as "frackmolishing." Kitchen, who is running for mayor to succeed the out-going Sammarone, says old buildings must be cleared away to make room for growth.
"It's more than just tearing down everything," Kitchen said. "It's what you can build up."
He wants to replace decayed buildings with vibrant neighborhoods and businesses.
"If we had the money, I would like to create these, like promise neighborhoods, where you give special incentives to people to move into these neighborhoods," he said. "Or you create research parks or technology parks."
Environmental Concerns
But because of concerns about potential environmental damage, some residents are opposed to fracking, which can generate huge amounts of toxic wastewater.
Putting fracking operations on park land "is a ludicrous idea," said Lynn Anderson, a Youngstown resident and anti-fracking activist. The chemicals used in fracking water "are very hazardous. We've got kids here with asthma; we don't need this process," she said.
Fracking opponents believe Youngstown, which has a thriving high-tech business incubator downtown, may be able to generate enough new wealth to spur urban renewal without turning to drilling for cash.
So far, though, the anti-fracking forces have not been able to derail drilling. On May 7, Youngstown residents, by a margin of 57 percent to 43 percent, rejected a charter amendment to ban fracking.
With that vote now settled, supporters of demolition projects are hoping fracking leases soon will be able to bring in money for bulldozers. Charlesetta McKinley, who lives in one of the gap-toothed neighborhoods on the south side, says she and her husband, Anthony, are city contractors. Their small company already has torn down scores of empty homes.
"The city is doing a very fine job of getting them down," she said of the demolition program. "We just need more resources."
Mineral Rights Value Undetermined
Whether the drilling leases will provide that new financial backing is not yet clear. Attorney Alan Wenger, a mineral rights lawyer in Youngstown, says no one is yet sure how much companies would be willing to pay for mineral rights on unproven parcels of land.
"In a lot of the city, it may not be practical to develop" major drilling projects, he said. "It could be that there's less value there than they are hoping for."
Some Youngstown boosters are hoping that if fracking does indeed turn out to be a good source of cash for the city, it will serve as just a stepping stone on a path to a cleaner, better future. One such booster is Phil Kidd, who runs a blog called Defend Youngstown and a shop called Youngstown Nation.
Kidd says ventures like the Youngstown Business Incubator are giving birth to the city's real future, involving good, sustainable jobs. But he also can see the need for money right now for demolition. And drilling leases offer a means to an end.
"I'd say, use it as an opportunity right now to make a more permanent transition moving forward for many years to come," Kidd said.
M.L. Schultze is a reporter for WKSU in Kent, Ohio.
A century ago, when steel mills were roaring to life in Youngstown, Ohio, builders scrambled to put up homes and storefronts, but the population there has plunged in recent decades, leaving thousands of vacant structures behind, and tearing them down will be expensive. Well, Youngstown officials believe the answer to their problem is just under their feet. The city plans to pay for demolition by leasing parks and other public lands for hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
M.L. Schultze of member station WKSU reports on what's come to be known in Youngstown as frack-molishing.
M.L. SCHULTZE, BYLINE: Youngstown's downtown is thriving as the city finds new ways to make money. A natural gas industry is starting to take shape here but there is also a surprising surge in high-tech businesses. A business incubator that helps young software companies grow now employs more than 450 people. The city center also heads the nation's first Manufacturing Innovation Institute. Downtown apartment buildings are full and you can expect an hour wait any Saturday night at a dozen or so restaurants.
But take a short drive south or north, and you will see the boarded up signs of the old Youngstown; simple framed houses built to be within easy reach of the miles of mills that once stretched along the Mahoning River.
CHARLESETTA MCKINLEY: I'm in the process of buying that one and renovating that one and hopefully to get maybe the lot next door to it. And, as you can see there's a boarded one up next to that one.
SCHULTZE: Charlesetta McKinley lives on Idora Avenue, one of the gap-toothed neighborhoods on the near south side. She and her husband, Anthony, are among the contractors the city hires to get rid of some of the worst of the worst buildings, a half dozen or so at a time.
MCKINLEY: I actually like landscaping better, but there's only but a few months to do that and you can do the demolition all year round.
SCHULTZE: McKinley eases the Kobelco excavator toward a pile of wood that had been a house. It took about 90 minutes to get this far. Now comes the job of crushing the boards into splinters. She counts up the jobs since November.
MCKINLEY: Twenty-one, 14 and seven more, will have 42 done in the next two weeks. The city is doing a very fine job of getting them down. We just need more resources.
SCHULTZE: One way the city plans to get those financial resources, as early as this summer, is by taking bids for drilling on city land. It's putting together parcels for mineral rights it hopes to lease for 5,000 to $7500 an acre, plus signing bonuses. That way, companies setting up fracking operations on Youngstown-owned land will provide money for demolitions and new economic development.
DeMaine Kitchen is chief of staff for outgoing Mayor Charles Sammarone. He's running for mayor himself and he's a proponent of frack-molishing.
DEMAINE KITCHEN: It's more than just tearing down everything. But it's what you can build up?
SCHULTZE: He wants to replace decayed buildings with vibrant neighborhoods.
KITCHEN: I would like to see has assembled working with our land bank and create these, like, promise neighborhoods, where you give special incentives to people to move into these neighborhoods or you create research parks or technology parks.
SCHULTZE: But some people are worried about the potential for environmental damage from the hydraulic fracturing process, which generates massive amounts of wastewater. They point to a local business owner who was recently charged with illegal dumping of tens of thousands of gallons of fracking wastewater, all of it shot into the Mahoning River. And wastewater pumped into deep injection wells has been blamed for triggering small earthquakes in the area.
The opponents object so much to fracking that they put a ban on the ballot this spring. It lost big. But even many of the forces behind downtown's boom are a bit reserved when you mention frack-molishing. Take Phil Kidd, the Youngstown State grad and neighborhood organizer runs a blog called Defend Youngstown, and a shop called Youngstown Nation that sells...
PHIL KIDD: Basically everything in all things Youngstown. I have shirts. I have every book on Youngstown. Framed prints. I even sell some local food from some of the local, you know, food producers.
SCHULTZE: You have a tree decorated with...
KIDD: With perogies, yes.
SCHULTZE: Kidd's shop is up the street from the software business incubator, and he says ventures like that are the real future for Youngstown - clean, good jobs. As for fracking...
KIDD: I'd say, use it as an opportunity right now to make a more permanent transition moving forward for many years to come.
SCHULTZE: So for some, the drilling boom is a bridge to Youngstown's future, for others, the future itself - for better or worse.

Buster Olney, ESPN:
[Jenks has] been told he'll be a set-up man in 2011 and will have a chance to be the closer after Papelbon is replaced.Well, the starkness of that comment is very interesting to read in December. Papelbon will be a free agent after the 2011 season and there is no way (in my opinion) the Red Sox will be signing him to either the years or the dollars he will expect/demand (Fruitbat money).
Joe Sheehan, SI:
Jenks for 2/12 is the best FA relief contract of the winter. Peripherals/skills are fine.

So I tried another Tova, remember the one I made over the summer? The one from fabric that felt like dryer sheets? Well, ever since I made it I knew I needed to make another out of some proper fabric.
I've been trying (kind of hard, or maybe not) to use up my stash. This corduroy is so soft and warm. I think I had originally bought it to make something for the girls with, but now it's mine!
The dress came together pretty quickly. I think I might be able to go down a size next time though, or maybe it's just the dress/fabric combo that makes it look a little big. Anyway, I'm hoping to wear it a couple times this winter. I love the way it looks with a cowl and the tights. Or maybe I look like I belong on Little House on the Prairie (it's possible I've been channeling that look because we've been reading the books). Oh well!
Oh, and a little tip about the collar, use wonder tape (fusible tape) to hold the collar down before topstitching, it keeps everything in place so nicely, way better than pinning! (learned that from Figgy's wonderful patterns!)
Hope you had a great weekend! ♥

Paris Trash
46 comments:
What a sweet and wonderful post! How original and creative you are. I want to collect these things too...clever clever you! I love the receipts. Especially the 12 euro one for hot chocolate. Though as you know is a small price to pay to sit in one of the most beautiful places in Paris.
Nice loot! Very colorful and inspirational. Would like to see what the $12- Chocolate place in Paris is all about with you and Corey.ReplyDelete
I collect the same kind of stuff. I like it. Believe it or not I save Gelato spoons too. I use them to eat yogert.
Have a delicious day!
I see you snuck in a little Hermès ribbon into the mix.
- Anonymous9:32 AM
I like to collect these types of souvenirs too, and they don't take up so much room in my baggage. I place them where I can see them frequently (without getting the place too messy) to remind me of those good memories. My European mother used to do this, that's how I picked up the habit.ReplyDelete
12euros for a cup of hot chocolate, in current Australian money is around $6AUD, which is quite a lot! Coffee/chocolate prices are around $2-3AUD per cup, depending where you go.
lovely little memory shakers,ReplyDelete
i call them.
there must be a society of us traveling from place to place...
with bits of ribbon and sugar packets in our bags...
do you sometimes leave one or two wee treasures in your suitcase
ready to discover when preparing for your next trip?
also, to see a receipt from some book shop in paris,
when i am now in rome,
makes me feel such the worldy one!
no one even needs to know but me...
My first trip to Paris, I brought back the sugar cubes wrapped in paper -- I especially remember the ones that were made to look like dice.ReplyDelete
In Italy I brought back the tissue paper (colored, with designs or pictures) that's wrapped around apples and other fruit you get at the market.
I love great collections of "minor memorabilia" or "fiddle-faddle", important to the collector only but usually worthless to others. The Italians have a beautiful word for this kind of frippery, "cianfrusaglie". I use it even for files on my computer, synonym or short for "while others may not recognize the importance of these documents, for me they are priceless". The same goes for boxes of my prized collections. :-)ReplyDelete
A friend of mine used to collect "the bags" that are ready at your service on airplanes, in the pocket of the seat in front of you. Until about ten years ago, they were printed with beautiful logos of the airlines, and other illustrations. She treats her collection like art, framed in a poster size frame, at a location appropriate to their original intendes use. Hers are in a vergin state, of course. :-)
Do I need to mention that Vienna is quite a treasure trove for all kinds of the goodies we love? *enticing smile*
Thank youReplyDelete
Thank you
Thank you
I'd no idea I was a member of such a big club.
Your responses delight me no end :)
The 12 euro hot chocolate was worth every centime.
More to come...
I collect paper napkins like yours, have since I was a child, as well as wrappers of sugar cubes. I have got shoeboxes filled. My mom on the other hand keeps all the ribbons and plastic/paper bags...what is it with us Frenchies?ReplyDelete
About the fraises tagada, I had fpund your post while doing some link research for my post, so if you scroll down it is at the bottom.
I see the name Laduree repeating its self hereReplyDelete
- Marie-Noëlle4:55 AM
I do collect such things, I keep them for a good while and eventually I get rid of them !?!ReplyDelete
I also read your link (your post written last August)and was to tell you the French word for "sticker" but blogger Jen has done it...
Still, the word "sticker" can do - everybody knows it here.
You can stick to it if you wish !
You are like a womble. Do you remember the wombles? I always want these things but by the time I get them home they are all crumpled.ReplyDelete
This is exactly what I collect also. My favorite treasure is the menue from New York Plaza where i was taken to High Afternoon tea by an internet friend!ReplyDelete
I use some of my collection in my travel diaries, which now are Molescins with acid free sketching paper.
Lovely post.
I am a collector of business cards and receipts! I love being able to remember years later where I went to have that _____(fill in the blank). I would love to collect those cute pastry boxes...but I fear I'd crush them in my luggage!
You are hilarious - collecting l'additions and napkins! I do like the ribbons, though. They're very useful in art projects and in a pinch, for wrapping a package. As for les autocollants, I took a bunch of photos of the windows full of same at Le Bon Marche yesterday. Will post them within the next couple of days.ReplyDelete
I see how you use the stickers you come home with, but what does one *do* with the rest? There's only so much room (and interest) in the travel journal... I brought home a number of papery items from Italy (although my receipts are not nearly as pretty as yours!) and am just looking at the pile of them. I can see drowning-in-ephemera as a very real future possibility!ReplyDelete
Catching up on posts.....wow...ReplyDelete
I forgot to mention another precious memory which I brought back from Durham last month - a library card from Durham Public Library. The card is so colourful, now I would love to start a collection.ReplyDelete
I spent two nights in Durham, one hour in the library :-), but needed a card to be able to use their computers.
beautiful photographs as always. I love your blogs. I've done this too - collected beautiful shop bags and yes, guilty too of collecting paper napkins from restaurants and tea-rooms. I still have momentoes from Gili's in Florence (well same name!).ReplyDelete
Thankyou so much for passing by Menton Daily Photo, Carol.
Jilly x
JILLY I really think we're meant to help ourselves to napkins etcand mustn't flagulate ourselves too much. Why else plaster their brand all over these souvenirs?ReplyDelete
SOME PINK FLOWERSlovely little memory shakers...how nice.
MRS.BEAR a "memory box" is a very good idea, like a Pandora's box..if only it could carry you back to the original site.
JAY L. I love those papers they wrap around fruit in Italy too..
Britt-Arnhild Library cards sounds wounderful...
Carol, I thought of you when I bought some postcards yesterday at Demel's (after having had a breakfast of the most delicious cherry strudel and melange), and the sweet lady there put my three cards in one of those small pretty paper Demel bags, I could have hugged her! Then I audaciously asked for a business card (I'll mail it with one of the cards *g*), but stopped myself before asking for an autocollant. Enough's enough. ;-)ReplyDelete
It's very funny for the French girl I am to look at the pictures of your little treasures ;-), in the sense that whith me, obviously they end up in the trash can. But you're right some of them are quite pretty, like Ladurée's factures. Don't you collect bottles' caps too ? But i have to say that when I saw that you paid 12 E for a café i felt pity for you, but whatever, paris will always be paris.
Have a good day !
Oh I love this post!! I thought it was just me who compulsively collects little trinkets from places I visit! I too have a collection of till slips (I hate the ones on heat-sensitive paper that fade, grrrr), packets, sugar cubes or wrappers, napkins, ticket stubs... you name it, each of them a dear friend and a reminder of something wonderful.ReplyDelete
dear carol, i love this post, everything about it...not least of all, for the simple reason that now i live in the comfort of knowing i'm not the only person who saves her sweet wrappers! but what i really want to know is, how you store/organise what must be an enormous (and growing) collection? i have no doubt it must be some truly artful why-didn't-i-think-of-that system!ReplyDelete
I "lerve" your collections!ReplyDelete
So where do you keep them - stuffed in a draw somewhere - or casually strewn around your home, trying not to look too obvious that you have been to the most fabulous places known to mankind?!

6. Open the EA Download Manager and enter the code to commence download (if you don't have the EA Download Manager installed, it can be found here: http://eastore.ea.com/eadm)
The offer does come with a few caveats. The free Mass Effect 2 copy is only available via PC download, so you can't get it on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.

Last Saturday I climbed Mount Lyell (13,120 ft), the highest point in Yosemite National Park, and nearby Mount Maclure (12,960 ft) via Lyell Canyon and Lyell Glacier. The trip entailed about ~30 miles (22 miles along the JMT and the remainder on snow and rock). The roundtrip time for the adventure run was 8:50, which was 65 minutes faster than I climbed these two peaks last time in 2007. The views from both Lyell and Maclure were spectacular, including the Lyell Canyon 4,000+ ft below, the rugged Ritter/Banner area, the Clark Range, Nothern Yosemite, and even Half Dome and the Yosemite Valley. There was excellent clarity and bluebird skies. I literally felt like I was on "The Roof of Yosemite"! More photos here.
There has been substantial snow melt recently, but still a substantial amount remains above 10,000 feet. At first I thought I could take the firm snow to nearly the summit of Lyell, but the slope became progressively icier and steeper and despite only being a couple hundred vertical feet from the summit I had to retreat to the East Arete route, which turned out to be a fun scramble. On the way down I took the central chute to a snow finger that entailed a section of downclimbing on rock. The standard route via Lyell-Maclure col appears to be more difficult at the moment with the aforementioned steep and icy snow covering what would normally be the class 3/4 rock scramble. Mount Maclure was a straightforward snow climb and then class 3 scramble along the ridgeline.
Lyell Canyon was not as soggy as I had anticipated, but it still had plenty of wet and muddy sections. Once I gave up trying to keep my feet dry it wasn't so bad. I met several Pacific Crest Trail thru hikers on the 11 miles of trail through Lyell Canyon to near Donohue Pass. They all reported copious snow on their journey through the Southern High Sierra and I was not surprised considering the prodigious winter snowpack. More photos here.

|Spotting Scope Series
|Vanguard Endeavor HD
|Body type
|Variable magnification
Variable magnification
Optical products with variable magnification are more versatile as they're designed with a wider range of magnification and larger viewing angle. For example, an 8x56 rifle scope has a fixed magnification of 8x and a fixed field of view of 5 meters at 100 meters. For comparison, a rifle scope with variable magnification 3-12x56 has a more versatile magnification range for observing the whole surroundings due to the big field of view (at 3 times magnification) and in the same time a detailed evaluation of the observed object (at 12 times magnification).
With their high number of lenses in housing, optics with variable magnification are larger, heavier and have a lower permeability of light. Variable magnification is rarely present in binoculars, but it's mostly used in rifle scopes and spotting scopes. Advantages of the variable magnification regarding usability with rifle scopes and spotting scopes outweigh disadvantages – in short, one fits all. High-quality variable binoculars are very rare.
|Minimal magnification
|Maximal magnification
|Lens diameter
Lens diameter
Lens diameter represents the second value in product's name/designation. For example, 10x42 optics have 42 mm diameter of the lens at the front (those that are closer to the viewing object). It is known that the bigger the lens, the more light goes through and the image we see is brighter. All of this, however, depends on the magnification and quality of a certain optical product. Although the bigger lens diameter in binoculars is better, the size adds up on the weight, making it more heavy and difficult to handle. With riflescopes, bigger size of a lens diameter also means more problems with mounting.
The most common lens diameters are 24 mm, 42 mm, 50 mm and 56 mm.

Max. exit pupil diameter
Maximal exit pupil diameter is an important information when you are buying an optical product, that will be in use in the twilight. This information tells us, at what diameter the light comes through the optical product, where it then enters the pupil in the human eyes.
It is a little bit different with variable magnification optical products. There the exit pupil diameter isn't always the same dimension, but it changes simultaneously with the magnification. For example; if we have a rifle scope with a magnification of 3-12 and an objective diameter of 56 millimeters, at maximum magnification we have an exit pupil diameter of 4,7 millimeters. At the smallest magnification on the other side, the exit pupil diameter should be 18.7 millimeters, but because such a big diameter would not have any advantage (because the human eye pupil is maximal 8 millimeters big), the manufacturers install an optical insert which doesn't let the exit pupil diameter grow too big at small magnifications. This is also our maximum exit pupil diameter. If we take the magnification of 7 times, the exit pupil diameter is 8 millimeters, what would be perfect for the brightest picture through this particular rifle scope.

|Min. eye relief
Minimal eye relief
Minimal eye relief is a minimum distance between the eye and eye-piece lens (rear of the scope, some manufacturers call the eyepiece ocular). For safety reasons, due to the recoil of the rifle, minimum eye relief for rifle scopes has to be at least 80mm. Larger rifle calibers produce higher recoil, so it is advised to have a minimal eye relief of 90mm or even more. Due to safety reasons, new rifle scopes have longer eye relief than older. Longer eye-reliefs were achieved with an advance of optical technology. The eye relief slightly changes when changing magnification and usually the eye relief is bigger at small magnifications and smaller on big magnifications. The difference is usually 10 millimeters or less.
Because of safety reason, some rifle scopes for safari rifles have extended eye-relief of more than 120mm. Scout and pistol scopes more than 500mm eye-relief, since they are usually mounted far away from the user.
Safety should always be on 1. place when handling guns and shooters often ignore, so make sure that you don`t get a »black eye« injury and choose the scope with a minimal eye relief of at least 80mm.

|Maximum field of view
Maximal Field of View
Maximal Field of view is the range of your visual area, for rifle scopes its measured at 100m. For example, if a maximal field of view is 13m/100m, means that you have on 100m a maximal view of 13m. Rifle scopes with Variable magnification (click for the info in specifications), the maximal field of view is meant when using lowest magnification setting. The higher the magnification the smaller the field of view.
Field of view is an important feature when choosing a rifle scope for your activity. A larger field of view will give you wider view/image, which is an important factor when you are aiming or hunting moving targets. Opposite, smaller field of view gives you narrower view/image, this option is more suitable for non-moving/static targets. Better quality rifle scopes have larger maximal field of view.
Just for information, parameter of lens diameter doesn`t give you a info about the field of view. Lens diameter has influence only on the brightness. For example, you can have 2 rifle scopes that have for example lens diameter of 56 mm, but they can have different maximal field of view.

|Close focus
Closest focus distance
Closest focus distance is an important value when watching butterflies, moths or plants at a really close distance. It represents the nearest distance where the viewing object can still be in focus. With binoculars, an excellent viewing distance is from 1.5 m below. If you're not particularly interested in watching objects at a close range this is an irrelevant factor when choosing a new pair.
|6.0 m
|Twilight Factor
Twilight Factor
In the past, twilight factor was an important value in determining the brightness of the optics. The manufacturers were using the same kind of technology and materials of the lenses therefore the optics were comparable. Nowadays, they use different types of lenses and modern coatings so the twilight factor has lost its meaning, because the brightness of the optics depends more on the quality of the coatings than on the twilight factor.
Twilight factor is calculated by the square root of multiplying magnification and lens diameter.
Twilight factor of 8x42 binoculars is a square root of 336, meaning 18.33. All the binoculars with this kind of magnification and lens diameter have the same twilight factor, but not the same brightness. If you look through an old pair of binoculars made in 1950s and a new pair with the same magnification and lens diameter you could see the difference in brightness even though they share the same twilight factor. The new pair is significantly brighter due to better lens materials and coatings.
Though manufacturers still specify the twilight factor, we recommend you to ignore it as it's not important.
|Relative Brightness
Relative Brightness
Relative brightness is a calculation of how bright the image should be when viewed through binoculars. It is presented as a square value of the exit pupil. 10x50 binoculars have an exit pupil value of 5.0 (dividing lens diameter with magnification). Square of 5.0 gives us a value of relative brightness which is 25.0. As the relative brightness value increases, we have a brighter image. On the opposite the lower the value, the darker the image.
In the past, relative brightness was an important value in determining the brightness of the optics. The manufacturers were using the same kind of technology and materials of the lenses, therefore, the optics were comparable. Nowadays, they use different types of lenses and modern coatings so the relative brightness has lost its meaning because the brightness of the optics depends more on the quality of the coatings than on the relative brightness.
|Light transmission
Light transmission
Light transmission specifies an amount of light that is let through the build of optical product. Every crossing through each lens means a certain loss of light (0.1% with best coatings, up to 5% without coatings). Higher light transmission rate is very important when using optics at dawn or twilight. Good optics normally have light transmission up to 90%, whereas top-notch ones have even 95% and more light let through.
Although the quantity of light reaching the eye depends on the size of an exit pupil, light transmission determines transparency of the lenses, whether the image is dark and cloudy or bright and clear.
Light transmission can be increased with applying different coatings on the glass surfaces. However, it depends on the coating type and number of layers. Multi-layered coatings mean higher light transmission.
Uncoated glass reflects about 5% of the light (entry-level price range), single coating reduces the reflectivity to approx. 1.5% (middle price range), multi coating reduces the reflectivity to approx. 0.1 to 0.2 % (premium price range)
|Lens coating
Lens coating
Optical products have many lenses in their housing. With each lens about 5% of the light passing through is lost. This can be solved with an application of coatings on the glass surfaces. With years the technology of coatings changed. At first they used only one layer, where the reduction of the loss was to 2% per surface. Today they use multiple layers of coatings where there's minimal loss of light - 0.1% per surface. The best binoculars have even 95% of the light transmitted to the eye, through all their lenses.
With increasing transmission of the light, the coating is also important as a protectant of the optical glass and to ensure the true color fidelity, so the colors when entering are the same when exiting binoculars/riflescope. Above all, coatings also increase the image quality because all the light bouncing around on the inside can cover up detail and blur colors.
Source: ZEISS
The process of applying coatings has to be precise, otherwise it can contribute to hazy and blurred image. They must be spread evenly and thinly to ensure the best quality. The better the coatings, the more expensive the optical product.
Lens coatings are as important as the quality of the lenses themselves. You can easily check whether your optical product has coatings – if you look at the reflection and it shows multiple colors such as purple, green or yellow the lenses are definitely coated. On the opposite, lenses with no coatings have a clear reflection without showing any colors.
There are many different ways of applying lens coatings:

|Diopter range
Diopter range in optics with one ocular (riflescopes, spotting scopes, NV optics, …)
Diopter range is an adjustment on optical products which can correct the prescription on each of your eyes. That way you can see a sharp image without wearing glasses. The diopter ring is normally located on the eyepiece and by turning it your image appears sharper.
Every optical product has different diopter range, from positive (+) to negative (-).
Diopter range in binoculars
The diopter ring is present in central focusing system on each of the barrels near the eyepiece, where you can correct the difference in the prescription of the left and right eye individually. Once you have set the right value, you can focus the image with using just the central focusing ring. If you're wearing glasses, the diopter value should be set to 0, because the differences in your eyes are already corrected in your glasses.
To see a sharp image without wearing glasses you can easily set the diopter by looking with bare eye, turning the ring and adjusting sharpness. So when looking with both eyes your image should appear sharp. If you have astigmatism the diopter adjustment cannot correct it – you'll still need your glasses and diopter set to 0 to see sharp images.

|Objective tread
The waterproof feature is made to keep the optical products sealed and protected from water or dust. Such products are suitable for marine, hunting, hiking or in extreme humidity. Even if you're not planning on using them in this kind of situations, it is a good feature to have in case of heavy rain or dust. Waterproof optical products are typically sealed with O-rings.
All optical products that are fogproof are also waterproof because they have to be properly sealed to keep the dry gas inside. Yet not all waterproof products are also fogproof as the air inside the product is not necessarily replaced with dry nitrogen or argon.
You should be careful not to confuse waterproof with weather-resistant as they're designed to protect only against light rain and are not fully sealed.
Slightly better waterproofing of binoculars can also be ensured with an individual eye focusing mechanism, due to less moving parts than with the central focusing system.
Fogging in optical products can occur when you move them from the warm insides of your house to the cold outdoors. To prevent the formation of inside fogging they're often filled with dry gas – either nitrogen or argon which contain no moisture.
To keep the gas intact on the inside, the optics have to be properly sealed, which is why all fogproof optical products are also waterproof.
It's important to keep in mind that fogproof means that it's to prevent fogging on the inside of the optics, not on the outside. If your outside surface of the lenses fogs up due to temperature differences or humidity just allow them to adjust back – do not wipe the condensation off as it can be damaging to the glass surface and its coatings.
Floatable option is sensible only when using binoculars on the water as there's a chance they fall into the water and begin to sink. To avoid that most marine binoculars come with a floatable strap, which prevents such accidents. Although rarely, some of them are floatable by themselves.

|Temperature range
|Filled with
Filled with
Optical products are often filled with dry gas to prevent the condensation on the inside of the housing when exposing them to temperature extremes. If there is even a slight sign of air inside, there is a certain % of moisture present. Usually they're filled with either argon or nitrogen gas, which have the same effect – to prevent the moisture and internal fogging without affecting the optical properties. In addition, these gases also prevent the formation of fungus which would destroy the optics. Internal dewing was the biggest problem in older binoculars when exposed to lower temperatures, because they weren't watertight and contained air. Newer binoculars are therefore all airtight and filled with dry nitrogen or argon.

|Objective diameter
Objective diameter
Objective diameter is outside (housing) diameter of front side (objective) on rifle scope.
On most rifle scopes objective diameter is bigger than tube diameter. Keep in mind, the last number in the description of rifle scope tells you the size of the objective lens diameter (example: 2 – 7 x 32). Objective diameter is always bigger then lens diameter.
Objective diameter is important to know, when buying ring mounts. The bigger the objective diameter the higher mount you will need.
This information is also important for all users of clip-on devices.
Source: Revija Lovec
|Eyepiece diameter
Eyepiece diameter
Eyepiece or ocular diameter is the outside (housing) diameter on the rear side of a rifle scope, directly where you look in the rifle scope itself.
The outside diameter of the eyepiece does not affect the quality of the picture, but it is an important information for users of bolt-action rifles. This dimension is important when mounting the rifle scope because you have to take into account how far your bolt handle is coming up when reloading. If the eyepiece diameter is too big, it can happen that the bolt hits the eyepiece.
The eye-piece diameter is also an important information when buying a wide-angle rifle scope and the suitable mount for it, because the eyepiece is usually bigger than the main tube, so consequently the user has to calculate the height for the mount from the eyepiece diameter and not from the objective diameter as usually.

On Tuesday night, PHS girls beat Ulysses and and PHS boys beat Larned to advance to the sub-state semi-finals.
On Tuesday night, PHS girls beat Ulysses and and PHS boys beat Larned to advance to the sub-state semi-finals.
If their idea of fun is to drive three hours, get run-ruled and then turn around and drive home, the Ulysses girls' basketball team enjoyed themselves immensely on Tuesday night.
In a sub-state first round game, the Pratt High School Lady Greenbacks sent the Tigers packing in a not unexpected 64-31 rout.
What might have been unexpected was how quickly PHS exploded off the starting line. Due to the weather, the Frogs were only able to squeeze in one practice and a shoot-around in the seven days since their final regular season game.
Showing no signs of rust however, Haylie Hook buried a 3-ball right off the bat, and the Greenbacks were off and running. It was a balanced attack, as seven different Frogs logged points in the opening stanza, and ten players scored in the game—with three in double figures.
While holding Ulysses scoreless in the first half of Q1, Breann Becker hit a floater, Amy Olson had a put-back and Jenson Maydew sank a pair of buckets. It was 11-0 Pratt before the Tigers were able to get on the scoreboard.
PHS then began to hit from long range as well, with Stonie Flemming, Martha Ramos and Payton Hoeme all knocking down treys over the closing minutes of the first quarter. 24-6 Pratt after one.
In the second quarter, Ulysses sent Pratt to the charity stripe 15 times, the Lady Frogs connecting on 10 of those attempts. Becker hit 3/4, Ramos 4/6, Flemming 2/2 and Hoeme converted an "and 1' to account for most of the Greenback offense in the second quarter. 38-14 Pratt at the break.
"It was good that we had a lot of girls scoring," PHS head coach Dean Rausch said of his squad's offensive explosion. "We wanted to make sure we got good inside looks and good outside looks. We told the girls that everyone needs to take responsibility for the team's offense."
The second half began the same way as the first half did— with Haylie Hook draining one from behind the arc. The Tigers kept fighting, but Pratt had an answer for everything Ulysses tried. For example, Paige Bailey was able to attack the basket on the backside of the Greenback pressbreaker. Nothing is more discouraging to a pressing team than to have to turn around and watch their opponents putting in a lay-up, and that's just what was happening to Ulysses.
A pair of Ramos free throws at the end of the third frame put Pratt up by 30, 56-26—switching on the running clock for the 4th quarter. Eight minutes later, Pratt had claimed a 64-32 victory.
"We gave up some drives on defense that I wish we wouldn't have," Coach Rausch said in analyzing the game, "but all in all it wasn't a bad first round." Pratt advances to meet 18-3 #1 seeded and #10 ranked Andale in the sub-state semi-finals on Friday night, 7:30 at PHS. Andale downed Nickerson in round one. Colby and Hugoton will meet in the early semi-final, having bested Larned and Goodland respectively.

It took two tie-breakers to determine which of the teams had the higher seed going into Tuesday's first round sub-state game between Pratt and Larned. That would seem to suggest that a tight game was on tap, and that's exactly what Greenback and Indian fans were treated to on Tuesday night at PHS.
It was a game where Pratt led most of the way, but they could never quite shake the Larneds and the contest ended in a 52-46 win for the Frogs— but no one in the gym could be certain of the outcome until the final buzzer.
Pratt was down 7-4 in the early going, but then Garret Smith canned a 3 and Skylar Dean and Christian Kurz hit buckets to give the Greenbacks the lead at 11-7. The first quarter would end after a Drew Dobbs free throw put Pratt up 12-10.
The Frogs appeared poised to seize control of the game at times in Q2. Skylar Dean had a pair of trifectas, Chase Hageman scored a couple of baskets and Christian Kurz had 4 points to pace PHS in the second frame. But Larned kept hanging around, and the score was just 26-22 Pratt at halftime after the Indians converted an 'and 1' at the buzzer.
"We kept getting up by 10," Pratt head coach David Swank observed," and then we'd find a way to not have a couple of good offensive possessions and Larned would get right back in the game."
That pattern held true after the intermission as well. Garret Smith hit two more 3s, Skylar Dean had a trey and 2 FT, and Thomas Mayberry contributed a bucket in the third stanza, but Larned was still only down 39-33 heading into the deciding period.
Things looked good early on in Q4 for Pratt with Dean and Mayberry each scoring 3 points and Hageman sinking a put-back. But leading by 10 at the 4:40 mark, PHS then had a cold spell. Turnovers, charging calls and missed shots resulted in several consecutive scoreless possessions for PHS, and Greenback fans were squirming in their seats as Larned drew inexorably closer— getting a number of easy buckets against the Pratt defense.
"Give Larned credit for doing some good things against our zone," Swank said. "They had several good 3-point shooters and then they would use a high-low post combination that was very effective. They have some good players and a good coach."
With about 2 minutes on the clock and the score 47-44, Smith hit a long 3 to give Pratt the momentum back. Down by 6 with under two minutes to play, Larned was forced to go to Slappytown. Hageman and Smith hit free throws down the stretch to keep the Indians at bay, and Pratt escaped with the 52-46 triumph.
"I was proud of our kids," Coach Swank said. "It felt like we might break it open but we never could. The kids hung tough, though. It was nice to win a close one at home."
With the win, PHS advances to face 19-2 #1 seeded and #4 ranked Andale in the semi-finals on Thursday at 7:30. Andale defeated Hugoton to move into the semis. Colby (who defeated Goodland) will play the early semi-final game on Thursday against the winner of Ulysses-Nickerson, who face each other Wednesday night.
