PONTE VEDRA — A parent complains about his child's playing time. A coach berates an umpire for a bad call. A volunteer board member squabbles with another over concession stand issues.
Mixing adults and youth sports has its messy moments most everywhere. But the parents, coaches and board members of the Ponte Vedra Palm Valley Athletic Association and the Ponte Vedra Soccer Club have turned messy into downright nasty — and costly.
The director of coaching at the soccer club is suing the athletic association, accusing it of breaching a contract that pays him $54,000 annually plus cost of living increases, bonuses and incentives that led him to earn nearly $92,000 in 2011.
Director Trey Clark, unclear why he hasn't been paid since Aug. 13, is also suing the association's volunteer president, John Lazzara, claiming he has interfered as part of a longtime vendetta against him.
Read the lawsuit, PVAA's motion to dismiss and Lazzara's motion to dismiss (links open on scribd.com)
The association's response to the lawsuit doesn't address why it ordered the soccer club not to pay him. The association's board secretary, Dave Briglio, said Monday the association didn't realize the depth of the contract the soccer club gave Clark. Briglio said the association is reviewing the contract for its potential impact on the nonprofit association's federal tax-exempt status, but the board has not notified the Internal Revenue Service.
The association's response to the suit said that Clark's contract is with the soccer club, not the association, and asks a judge to dismiss the association as a defendant.
Lazzara should also be dropped since he has the legal right to protect the association's interests, his attorney said.
Repeated attempts at pre-trial mediation have failed. No court hearings are set for the suit, which was filed in St. John County Circuit Court in September.
Then throw this into the mix:
— Lazzara is accused of improperly holding office under the association's bylaws, but a recall effort by an association member who is also the soccer club's secretary has been ignored, she said. Her counterpart in the association said her concerns are under review.
— The association voted to cut the soccer club loose to become its own nonprofit organization in January but has discussed keeping a recreational soccer program of its own. That has created concerns over membership and who will govern field time.
The players may be the biggest losers as bitterness grows among their parents and fees pile up for legal and financial services.
"None of it is a good example for the kids," said Tania Grambo, the soccer club's board secretary. "The sad part about the whole situation is that as adults, we couldn't have resolved this."
Briglio said he is concerned about negative publicity for the association, which has worked hard to build its reputation and membership to about 1,200 youths.
"I'm very proud to be part of the board and how we've addressed these issues," Brigilo said.
Such internal strife is not uncommon among the often ego-driven leadership of youth sports groups, said Charlie Towers, former commissioner of the North Florida Youth Soccer League. Towers said such battles can discourage current and new membership and chase off much-needed volunteers.
"It can destroy you from within," Towers said.
The PVAA and the PVSC
The association plays on numerous county fields, including Davis Park in Nocatee. About 750 boys and girls, ages 4 to 18, play for various levels of the soccer club ranging from recreational to the elite travel teams.
The soccer club and other sports are subsets of the association and operates under its tax-exempt status. A small part of the club's registration fees go to the association, while other money collected by the clubs is used to pay for everything from coaches to equipment.
Clark joined the soccer club as a coach in about 1996 when his daughter began to play. He was later hired by the club's board as its first director of coaching, which included overseeing travel teams and revenue generators such as clinics and camps. The club's membership grew rapidly and its travel teams consistently won state and national titles.
Clark said he was initially paid $1,000 a month as director beginning about 10 years ago and received salary hikes, under a handshake agreement, that earned him about $46,000 in 2009. The club then signed him to a multi-year contract that upped his salary to what it is today.
Bad blood boils
Clark said the current controversy stems from a 2009 incident when he banned a coach from the league for berating an official and Clark in front of children. Clark said that coach was good friends with Lazzara, who was president of the association's board at the time. He said Lazzara has tried to get rid of him ever since and has tried to undermine the soccer club by interfering with its donors, revenue stream and field availability.
Clark, 47, said losing his income has been painful for him and his wife, who is a school teacher and a coach at the club.
"It's destroyed me," Clark said. "I've lost a lot of sleep wondering how I'm going to provide for my family."
Lazzara declined to be interviewed for this story but in an emailed statement said Clark's allegations are "baseless and without merit" and he looks forward to a resolution so the focus returns to the youth.
"It is regretful that our athletic community have been subjected to such false claims," Lazzara said.
Robert Farnell II, the attorney representing Lazzara and the association, declined to comment. Attorney Gregg Gerlach, hired by Clark, said his client is seeking damages over Lazzara's interference and back pay.
Clark continues to work for the club and hopes to do so in the future. He said he is ready for life to return to some semblance of normalcy and harbors no hatred for Lazzara. As proof, he points to the $5,000 he said he spent on his son's braces at Lazzara's orthodontics office after the two men began their feud.
Eighteen months later, the stakes among the adults have become a lot higher.

Back in January 2010, West Haven mother Shengyl Rasim was fatally shot while holding her crying baby, with her young son asleep nearby. Investigators for Ansonia/Milford State's Attorney Kevin Lawlor didn't have to look far to find their suspect. The husband, Selami Ozdemir, had a history of being arrested for domestic violence by West Haven police.

Across the country, most state and local bar associations that are larger than New Haven's, which has 1,400 members. But few, if any, have a more engaged, enthusiastic and effective leader than Executive Director Carolyn Breen Witt. That's easy to conclude from her 15-year track record, and the fact that the National Association of Bar Executives has just elected her its president for the 2010-11 fiscal year. The NABE provides a forum for members to address their challenges together, and to share innovations and "best practices."

The 20th century utopian notion of eradicating common infectious disease, once highly esteemed, has gradually taken a back seat to the reality of bacterial resistance, new diseases, and newly discovered infectious agents. In his book Resistance, Norbert Gualde illustrates the importance of practical and scientific approaches to predicting and controlling future outbreaks.
With astute pragmatism, Gualde takes his readers on an exciting journey, exploring the histories of epidemics, the emergence of new diseases, and the return of old ones. Based two theories describing emergence of infectious agents, Gualde suggests that the constant interaction between man and micro-organisms will create a catalyst to epidemics similar to those of the medieval 14th century.
Gualde offers an interesting perspective to this study, as he not only speaks to the scientific aspects of disease and immunology, but to their societal implications, specifically in the poorer southern hemisphere.
Chapter 1: Histories of Epidemics: Relationships Between the Immunities of Populations and the Environment
Chapter 2: The Emergence of New Diseases
Chapter 3: The Return of Old Diseases and Persistent Diseases
Chapter 4: The Immunity of Homo Sapiens: From the Individual to the Group, from Biology to Culture
Chapter 5: Gaia or Chaos
Epilogue: Man is the Epidemic
"Norbert Gualde provides us with a brilliant historical analysis of man's interactions with infectious agents...This book urges us to reexamine and correct the assumptions that were made following the discovery of antibiotics that infectious diseases would no longer be a menace to mankind. Resistance provides a detailed and accurate analysis of the critical factors that determine the outcome of this continuous battle, with an emphasis on the evolutionary protection provided by our immune system."
-Baruj Benacerraf, M.D., Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, 1980
"Gualdes survey is broad, deep and carefully annotated, making this a worthwhile read for interested parties."
-Publishers Weekly
"This book is valuable: it is hard to find in one place an accurate description of the many threats that all of us have heard about in a piecemeal fashion. I especially like the way he provides the history of each outbreak and then emphasizes the human factors that are at play in fueling the epidemic."
-Ralph Steinman, M.D., Henry G. Kunkel Professor and Senior Physician, The Rockefeller University
Between 1950 and 1970 it was thought, in medical circles and among public health officials in industrialized countries that infectious diseases would inevitably be wiped out. This optimism was also endemic in the Geneva offices of the World Health Organization (WHO). Thanks to advances in hygiene, vaccinations, and antibiotics, microorganisms harmful to human health would be consigned to the dusty pages of the histories of medicine and epidemics. Like the smallpox virus, they would someday exist only in reference laboratories transformed into eco-museums for agents of infection. There would be no more typhus, no more typhoid; meningitis would be cured, sanitariums closed; even the pediatric departments in hospitals would be empty because of the decrease in the number of infectious childhood diseases. There would no longer be any reason to earmark substantial research monies for studies on transmissible diseases, or to allocate new funds for hospital units where these illnesses would cease to be seen. Lacking job opportunities and funding, young specialists in infectious diseases would leave the universities to enter other fields of biological science. The science, medicine, technology, and culture of the twentieth century would be able, it was thought, to eradicate the most dangerous microorganisms. People would live without worries in an artificial, comfortable, and reassuring immunity.
AIDS illustrates the problem of the emergence of so-called "new" viruses, even if there are good reasons for thinking that these new viruses are to viruses what the New World is to the world. Since the appearance of AIDS, everyone sees infectious diseases as a potential danger, a real threat. Our perception of "plagues" is coming closer to that of earlier generations. Isn't it amazing that viruses were forgotten for decades in this way? It was as though the worldwide eradication of smallpox was ipso facto proof that an easy victory would be won over all other viruses. People forgot, it seems, how catastrophic a flu epidemic can be. Strangely, the epidemic of Spanish flu that occurred just after World War I received relatively little attention from the media, even though it killed more people than the Great War itself. The epidemics of smallpox, influenza, AIDS, and other epidemics due to viruses raise questions to which there are no easy answers: How did they happen? Why these viruses? Why at this time and not another?
An undeniable threat is posed by apparently new infectious agents and by other agents expert in resisting therapeutic measures or in getting around organisms' immunity (defense systems). Media looking for sensational news regularly put stories about AIDS on their front pages, even though worldwide, malaria kills every year at least as many people as AIDS has since it first appeared. The wealthy countries' information media must not cause us to forget that despite the search for new medicines and testing of vaccines the malaria epidemic continues to develop dramatically, since the parasite is resistant to drugs and the anopheles mosquito is resistant to insecticides. At the end of the twentieth century, two billion people were exposed to malaria, one-half to one billion people were contaminated, and one to two million died from the disease every year, most of them children. And we mustn't forget prions, the fascinating agents responsible for Mad Cow disease, which is now known to be a new variant of Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease that affects younger people than the "classical" disease did. Prions are not even living beings, only micro-proteins, but they are transmissible--that is, "infectious"--between different species. Prions resist everything, including heat, and they destroy the central nervous system, leading to debilitating diseases that are always fatal.
The 1960s' confidence regarding microbes is no longer appropriate, but this does not mean that the future is necessarily bleak. We should remain vigilant. What can we propose to ward off the attack of a microorganism? We belong to a species whose numbers are constantly increasing in an exponential demographic explosion particularly worrisome because of its consequences on the environment. Taking this demography into account, we must neither surrender to a Malthusian pessimism according to which the arithmetical increase in the food supply is inadequate to provide for the human species' geometrical growth, nor indulge in an Enlightenment optimism that assumes humans will find a solution to every problem. It is recognized that an increase in the number of individuals promotes the diffusion of microbial diseases.
Biological and cultural evolution will continue; what will emerge from them in the event of microbial dangers? Will we see a devastating cataclysm that will expose us to a worldwide holocaust? Will there be repeated episodes of acute attack occurring against a "background noise" of chronic infections? If our planet is a living being, it will be largely a matter of a violent attack from the inside, a kind of self-destruction or cancer against which James Lovelock's favorite organism will have to find the means to maintain its homeostasis. In his The Ages of Gaia, Lovelock writes that the arrival of Homo sapiens modified the nature of the planet. Anthropic modifications are ongoing, and we do not know where they will lead. Man can corrupt the environment, but he can also protect it. The result of this frequently observed duality will depend on measures that are often difficult to decide upon and even more difficult to put into application.
The relationship between humans and microbes is a complex, dynamic phenomenon; it is not linear, and often corresponds to a chaotic and sometimes wholly unpredictable determinism. We may seek in vain to harmonize Gaia's laws with those of chaos; there will always be an element of unpredictability in this complicated relationship.

Editor's Note
- By: Paul Doiron
- Photography by: Benjamin Magro
In The Maine Woods, Henry David Thoreau wrote that "the tops of mountains are among the unfinished parts of the globe, whither it is a slight insult to the gods to climb and pry into their secrets, and try their effect on our humanity. Only daring and insolent men, perchance, go there."
Gazing down Hunt Spur, across the Boulder Field that guards the southwest corner of Mount Katahdin, I'm not sure I feel daring or insolent. I do, however, feel wet. I have volunteered to guide my two nephews Sebastian and Maxim, ages ten and twelve, up the mountain for the first time. And the rain clouds that are blowing past us on twenty-five mile-per-hour winds seem very much like punishments sent from surly gods.
Thoreau first climbed Katahdin (or Ktaadn, as he spelled it) in September, 1846. By the time of his death, he had journeyed many hundreds of miles through the Maine North Woods from his home in Concord, Massachusetts. He had ridden Penobscot River rapids, ascended Kineo, and gazed out across the majestic waters of Moosehead Lake, and he'd come to understand how easily beautiful things can be lost. In his introduction to Thoreau's MaineWoods, Bernd Heinrich imagines how Thoreau might view his beloved woods today: "He was then already fearing that they might become, like his native Concord and the rest of New England, degraded by commercial enterprise . . . What would he think of international collectives connected by commercial interests only, who erect housing developments in the middle of the wilderness, and who would violate the sanctity of mountains and lakes so they can make a buck?"
Sebastian and Maxim are moving to Europe for a year with my brother and his family (the boys are half Belgian), and this trip to Katahdin is my farewell gift to them. Neither has been this far north in Maine before or climbed a mountain anywhere near this tall. The next time I see them, they will be only a year older, but at their ages a year is a long time. Watching my nephews clamber over rain-slick rocks to heights they never imagined ascending, I feel both joyous and melancholy. I am grateful that nearly 165 years after Thoreau first scaled these same slopes, the Mountain of the People of Maine remains a place of discovery. But mostly I am wistful for a moment that has not yet even passed.

And they seem to understand each other without even speaking. They gather together once or twice a month to talk about the weather, sports or politics. But every now and then, the conversation may drift to what brings them together. They are veterans of the Korean War. They are members of the 31st Infantry "Dixie" Division. They are Yazooans. The group of men meet for breakfast at Howell's Restaurant on the last Friday of each month. At one time, the group was composed of about 25 men.

"It doesn't matter if you have been here for years or if you just joined, you are treated like family."Oak Grove's story begins in 1910 when a mission from nearby Hebron Baptist Church began in the Phoenix community.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images? |
1. "I Had a King" (5). A melancholic song about lost love sung expressively with an equally expressive acoustic guitar.
2. "Michael from Mountains" (5). Several key changes occur in this more upbeat song about romance
3. "Night in the City" (5+). Fast and exhilarating song about going out on the town, with Joni herself providing her own backup harmony and accompanied by piano and bass.
4. "Marcie" (5+). A soft, melancholic but very emotional song about a woman waiting to her from her man, sung in a minor key with several key changes.
5. "Nathan La Franeer" (4.5). An emotional and complex song about riding a taxi driven by Nathan La Franeer through busy city streets. Sung mostly softly, but with several instense moments. Accompanied occasionally by a harmonica that imitates the sounds of traffic.
6. "Sisotowbell Lane" (4.5). A soft, slow and airy song about being home and gazing out from the front porch, sung primarily in high octaves.
7. "The Dawntreader" (5).
For the most part the music broods, but there are a few bright spots. Joni's a great storyteller and the characters are portrayed with a strong sense of reality: songs about common relationships, people we may have met, emotions we may feel at times or thoughts we may have once pondered.
As the album begins, her arpeggiated guitar chords mesmerize. The melody doesn't travel the well-worn path. We know straightaway that this is no average songwriter. The music is rich and complex, but she presents complexities so simply. One forgets how advanced the music is as she draws the listener into a world of magic and aural wonder. "I Had A King" and "Michael From Mountains" are moody and beautiful. "Night In The City" adds piano and bass and has a strong, rhythmic 6/8 feel. On the chorus, the double-tracked harmony is divine.

I would say quite a bit of your post is accurate and other parts inaccurate, but this part is what interests me most.
Aggressive? I hardly think so, and this from a Davion too which is just hypocritical in the extreme. The Confederation was formed out of necessity from small individual nation states due to repeated attempts to subjugate their planets by - you guessed it - House Davion. The bloated AFFS continually sparked aggression in Capellan worlds and these worlds acted together to defend their homes. You create your own enemies.
Your so called "freedom" comes at the cost of others and Capellans know this better than anyone. For longer than anyone can remember, the Confederation has acted purely in its own defence to protect the way of life of its people. The Federated Suns thinks it has all the answers which is why it seeks purely to conquer and control and that which it cannot control, it kills.
If any of the houses is to be accused of the pursuit of power then Davion is it. I don't think the CapCon is perfect, in fact it has glaring flaws, but it does not oppress its people in the way everyone seems to think. Don't pretend House Davion is some kind of righteous, honourable, liberating warrior, it is a murdering coward that wants everything under its flag and will annihilate anyone that dares to get in the way. House Liao dares and it pays a heavy price for its sacrifice.

"The beats sound nothing like anything you've ever heard me on. The features that I'm going for are something you would never imagine. All I can say about it now is that it's a very human album. What I mean by that is that it's contradictory. On one song I say, 'The saint is ours', like we're in the saint's corner and then I have another song called 'I'm Not A Saint'. It's so beautiful because the King, the Clown, and the G are still present on this album.
There's no apologies in what I'm saying. I don't mind that it contradicts itself because that's what people do. The album is everywhere. It feels like it's Hell, Purgatory and Heaven all over again. I'm telling stories that I've never told – that I was afraid to tell on some songs. It's super personal and I've got a big chip on my shoulder again. It's always been there, but it's getting bigger having to prove to fans and critics that we ain't goin' nowhere." -Tech N9ne from SM blog 2/8/13

Does anybody here actually like Twisted Insane? I really don't. I don't like any of his solo music and I don't think he took anything away from Worldwide Choppers, but I also don't think he added much to it. Just wondering everybody's opinion and if anybody was actually excited for him on So Dope. I would've much rather had JL
Yeah, agreed. I hope the same
IMO said:
Fuckin stupid^ hopefully they just said that and it's something else (no pun intended)
Other than Tech, Here's the top July 30th releases so far:
AlunaGeorge - Body Music (Won't come close)
Ashanti - Braveheart (This will be a close one)
Backstreet Boys - In A World Like This (Won't outsell Something Else)
Deltron 3030 - The City Rising From The Ashes EP (Won't outsell Something Else)
Earl Sweetshirt - Doris (He's gaining popularity but Something Else will do more)
Five Finger Death Punch - The Wrong Side Of Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell Volume 1 (Will sell more)
Joan of Arc - Testimonium Songs (I can barely find info on them so no)
Moreland & Arbuckle - 7 Cities (If every Twitter follower bought a copy they'd sell less than 500)
Robin Thicke - Blurred Lines (Last album did 41k. He has been getting good promotion by doing commercials. I still think Something Else will outsell it)
Soulja Boy - Life After Fame (Projected to sell 1 copy)
Vince Gill & Paul Franklin - Bakersfield (Won't come close)
Mizery_Made said:Well then. More (potential) competition for Tech from, well... Tech. We already had Five Finger Death Punch releasing their album with a Tech feature on July 30th. Now Crooked I is dropping his "Apex Predator" on the same day as well, which he tweeted back in January saying would feature Tech (though that could have changed in the past 6 months).
I think Fortune Force Field is the best track so far. At least until Tuesday
I kinda like Twisted, but again, I would've prefered JL too. Hope JL gets signed to Strange soon. Was the talk about Twisted being signed in the future legit? I saw this not long ago on the forum.

I hope JL gets signed soon too. But Twisted, I don't think he'll end up getting signed. He was talking about something on twitter where he was trying to get signed to Strange and they weren't feeling him awhile ago. So I don't think he will get signed. But I sure hope JL does

First, I've been advised NOT to write this post. That it's offensive to who we are and what we do. So, here goes…
Carbon everything, Deep Dish Wheel, Disc, Aero helmet, Di2 shifters, power meters, the best and baddest supplies money can buy, and Chris Carmichael as your personal coacyh. You've been training like a Spartan for months. Your kids barely even know you are you. Your family thinks you're crazy. You are on a tear to get a PR. All this for a shot at glory! Right?
Ahem (throat clear), let's get the picture a little clearer…shall we?
I am a huge proponent of setting goals, developing a plan, and seeing things through. But, now at 35 years wise, a family, and a slew of races under my belt I have to ask myself; what was all the fuss about? What was going on in my head? Why did I take myself so seriously? Who did I think I was…a triathlete? Continue reading

An internet meme is an idea that rapidly spreads throughout the Internet, and can take the form of a text, picture, video, website, or even a simple word or phrase. There have been an endless amount of memes, almost as long as the Internet has existed. But if you haven't seen the following memes on this list, then you're probably not using the Internet correctly.
Nyan Cat
Nyan Cat is an 8-bit image of a grey cat with a pop tart body, flying through space. It first emerged on April 2nd, 2011 when the animation was posted on a daily comics site. Upon release, this gif snowballed, quickly spreading to others on social media sites. Its popularity stems from the Internet's love of cute cats and absurd humor, leading to a number of parodies and spinoffs.
All Your Base Are Belong to Us
This phrase arose from poor translation efforts of a Japanese game titled "Zero Wing". In the opening dialogue, the original English translation featured this infamous line (all your base are belong to us), which has gained notoriety in Internet culture. Many individuals and media sites have made reference to this line of Engrish, including Youtube and Wired.
Numa Numa Song
In 2004, Gary Brolsma put up a video on the Internet of himself singing a song titled "Dragostea din tei". This video quickly racked up millions of views, rapidly gaining popularity among online communities. Brolsma's cover spawned a number of parodies and response videos, solidifying its cultural significance.
Lolcats are an image series, consisting of a funny caption imposed with a photo of a cat. The text mimics a form of broken English, with often grammatically incorrect and misspelled words. Though the exact emergence of Lolcats is unknown, it may have appeared as early as 2006. This meme spawned a number of spinoffs and parodies, and even a series of published books.
The Rickroll
"Rickrolling" is an Internet prank that involves enticing an individual to click on a relevant hyperlink, only to have them lead to a video of Rick Astley's song "Never Gonna Give You Up". Originating from 4chan, this prank quickly spread to other communities, with users rickrolling others. In addition, this prank has been used in response to a number of events, including Scientology protests in 2008.
Star Wars kid
The Star Wars Kid is a video meme, featuring a young boy that is swinging a golf club like a lightsaber. One of the most popular videos online, the original video has over a billion videos since its emergence a decade ago. Unfortunately, the student in the video was not too pleased with his fame, filing a lawsuit against the individuals that posted the video.
Dramatic Chipmunk
Dramatic Chipmunk involves a video of a prairie dog turning its head to the camera, amidst dramatic music. Though only five seconds long, this video quickly gained notoriety, becoming one of the most popular videos of 2007.
Leeroy Jenkins
In 2005, a group of players in the game World of Warcraft decided to document their attempt at a raid in a video. Before a particularly difficult enemy, the group meticulously made plans, only to be thwarted by a single player charging in, screaming his name "Leeroy Jenkins". As the group's plans fell apart, many members expressed disgust amidst Leeroy's final words: "At least I have chicken." This video quickly gained popularity, spreading through the internet and even making a mention in the mainstream game show Jeopardy.
Keyboard Cat
This video of a cat playing a jaunty tune on an electric keyboard was first made in 1984, remaining in obscurity until a blogger posted a mashup of the video in 2009. The Internet community adapted this video into memes and parody videos as a sign of failure, akin to that of vaudeville performances. Shortly after, this video gained wide media coverage, appearing in many TV shows and advertisements.
Diet Coke and Mentos
Ever wondered what would happen when you combine Diet Coke and Mentos? In 2002, this experiment gained massive popularity, as many posted videos of themselves combining the two to make geysers. As years passed, more and more enthusiasts would try to set world records for the most simultaneous Diet Coke and Mentos geysers.

321: Thighs
Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.
Thighs |
Title text: My thighs have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord? |
In each panel, Cueball sings a line from a different song (Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger", Dean Martin's "That's Amore", and Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl"), replacing the word "eye" in each with the word "thigh".
The title text is a reference to the first line of the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
- [Cueball singing, Megan at computer]
- Cueball: It's the thigh of the tiger
- Cueball: When the moon hits your thigh like a big pizza pie, that's amore.
- Cueball: She's my brown-thighed girl.
- Megan: Don't you have a job or something?
- Megan: Also, Eww.

Riding Through a Painting
Words by Fiona Adler
Cycling in France is such a cliché but, as it turns out, for good reason. We're a few days into our trip and I'm still pinching myself because it truly feels like we're riding through a painting. The landscape of the Vercors is absolutely stunning and there's almost a magical haze making everything somehow brighter and larger than life (including the hills). The towns are quaint, the drivers courteous, the locals are charming, and the spring air is rich and full of life. This is truly living!
Boarding the plane seemed like stepping out of our usual lives to experience a different life. We felt very self-indulgent – especially those of us leaving others to carry the load of our absence. But without trips like this, it's all too easy to let months and years pass by and after all, it's only 2 weeks and 8 days.
Our trip began in Paris where we set about some sightseeing, shopping and enjoying some of the treats of the city - carb-loading at its best. We happened to be there for the French elections and soon found ourselves in the midst of the dramas of another country - passionate people celebrating and commiserating the fate of their favoured candidate. A day and a half didn't seem nearly long enough but sitting on the train as we headed south to our first cycling destination, we were all glad to escape the bustle of the city. The towns quickly thinned out to small villages with fields spanning between them and the speed of life seemed to visibly slow down. Thoughts turned to the riding ahead, the weather forecasts and our provisions for the coming days – the simple things.
We arrived in St Jean-en-Royans and were greeted by Teresa and Roger, as well as the bikes that we'd hired – all set up and waiting to be ridden. It became apparent that we were in good hands at Velo Vercors. After a short reconnaissance ride we were thrilled with both the bikes and our location.
The bikes we have here in France have been perfect, the carbon frames, compact cranks and triple chain ring have made climbing that little bit more do-able!
Our subsequent rides have continued to exceed expectations – passing through old-world towns, lush country-side dotted with bright red poppies, walnut tree orchards, and recently plowed fields. The road through the Vercors mountain range tunnels through and cuts into the face of sheer rock cliffs, and ensures an exciting ride. We were not surprised to hear that a car chase in a James Bond movie was filmed here. Parts of the riding are hard (with much bigger hills than Melbourne) but the views, and resulting photo stops are so overwhelming that the discomfort is mostly overshadowed.
Although we're only a few days into the trip, it's not been without some glitches. Unfortunately one of our party has not been able to join us due to some pressing business matters – which is very disappointing for everyone, her especially. We've also had a knee niggle get a lot worse and we've had to call in a pickup to get our rider up the remainder of a mountain (it's now being rested and we're hopeful it will come good). And of course, we've had the obligatory couple of tumbles. Extremely minor, but still not recommended!
We're starting to find a rhythm to our French-cycling lifestyle. We know which boulangerie does the best baguettes and which is best for croissants, we plan our ride the night before and head out after a leisurely breakfast, and most of us are even getting used to the recommended 20 minutes in the freezing cold stream after a ride.
As we tick over the kilometres, do our laundry, and generally learn to live alongside each other, we're gaining a new perspective into each other's lives. We haven't quite left behind our usual existence (we're still checking in and are conscious of what's going on with our families and work lives), but we're so far away – both physically and mentally. We're absolutely loving this style of trip. Cycling is truly a great way to experience a place – fast enough to cover a reasonable amount of ground, but slow enough to appreciate the details.

text: There are a lot of poets and poetry that I really enjoy. But if I had to narrow it down, I'd probably say "Tintern Abbey" by Wordsworth. But I'm a sucker for all of the English romantics -- Blake, Byron, Wordsworth, Keats, Shelly. . . . But "Tintern Abbey" is the poem that I return to several times a year just to sink into it. I mumble it to myself. Hell, I nearly have is memorized.

Sweet CBS news became the first news organization besides fox to ask President Obama who changed have been guys keep talking points and out.
It is is very dangerous of -- White House that journalists should suddenly start asking real questions.
-- whole issue of the gasoline has been to -- and tawdry.
-- we do not intend to stand.
-- ambassador Susan Rice who had nothing to do with the tragic.
-- guys the attack.
-- or its aftermath is made the scapegoat of the tragedy.
Because he relayed to the public they only have visual intelligence.
That was available through the administration at the time.
I have found no he -- Here in Washington.
Focused on.
And in some cases the obsessive focus on.
Ambassador rice's appearance on a series of Sunday shows several months ago is misplaced and his.
-- why did the administration put her out there as the spokesperson try to.
What is end up being misleading the world on what really happened and -- -- I believe.
The president should be able to pick his cabinet that was something egregious percent of -- -- -- -- second.
If what you say -- five consecutive shows that the Sunday was false because somebody gave you bad information.
Who's the person who gave -- the bad information I do think the White House.
-- -- Whether -- intelligence.
Whether -- enforcement.
-- whether it's just the bureaucracy.
I have found no he would.
All of the things that have they had.
Dislike about things that have gone on in this administration they have never called a male.
I'm qualified not.
So I think attacks on ambassador Susan Rice sexism.
Or something else former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin joins us pity me governor.
-- -- Governor yes I assume you've heard the -- clips -- we just played and there are some who think that investor Susan Rice -- not being criticized for her performance but for reasons rooted in sexism.
Your thoughts.
-- I guess they reached very far in an argument like that saying that this is what effect does this have to do with.
Gender or skin color or anything else -- have to -- with competency and Susan -- -- handle -- -- Olivia has been part and parcel of the Obama administration's handling of Libya which has been appalling and it's been atrocious and it's really indicative of lack of competency and truthful less and certainly transparency in the entire Obama administration it has nothing to do with her gender.
I fashion so we're curious way -- think there is sexism involved here.
And I think it's appalling and the sexism is this way is that.
For some reason because she's a woman she's given a pass that she's held to a lower standards which I -- I wanna be held that same standards.
Equal standards.
But there are some will let her take a pass for giving false information whether knowingly or unknowingly sitting on it for 73 days until about three days ago when she spoke to some US senate behind closed doors.
For some reason.
She gets up past -- that I don't get that I think that's actually -- need to women.
If that's why she's getting that past.
Yeah I agree and still to this day.
No apology no clear explanation to the people of America.
Adams say it pertains to what really happened there and may god see and again -- that in the illustration I think the prime example of the lack of transparency and honesty -- -- is them exemplified in the Obama administration very sad.
But 173 days it wasn't -- this week when you've won the inflation -- -- came out and incidentally I'm senators that comes with us last night.
Told us that that -- ambassador rice told her behind closed doors that she had.
Access to the presidential president's daily brief and so she had as much information as anybody.
Including that that this was al-Qaeda affiliated suspected even and they want but I ask you about represent Susan -- Eleanor Holmes Norton.
She says we do not -- and intend to stand by but investors Susan Rice would not be doing this tragic and -- attack.
Or its aftermath is made the scapegoat yet.
I'm what I'm surprised -- she's not clamoring for her own party for the administration to come on tell us.
What did -- know Wendy you know what and why why you train your feet about it so why weren't you mean she's missing the point -- that would do great.
She's missed the point is she's playing politics and you know she knows -- -- cover because of mainstream media is.
Going right along with her and that -- that suggestion that Obama and its closest people in the White House did nothing wrong and -- Garcia obviously they did for brave and innocent Americans were killed.
And this attack and still the American people are left with so many questions.
And and spokespersons for this incidents this tragedy are wanting to play politics instead of just being straight with the people.
Yes that's the and -- secretary.
Jay Carney is I think likewise.
If subtitle legitimate criticism I assume that he has access to information.
And for many days -- -- 73 days but they've done everything they could not to get the facts out if they want to -- this it's a simple way.
Just get the facts out quit trying to hide them and that's what you know that -- first -- whoever -- in the past except for CBS and fox on that.
Yeah exactly -- that that's the bottom line is you know just just be straight with the people that -- to our government is.
Is on the -- so that we can -- the people being served so that we can judge the decisions being made and Jay Carney though just so obstinate and so arrogance really in his replies and in his.
Exchanges with the media over this if if I remember of the media -- they're being talked to it.
At a school that -- Jay Carney does to them.
I B it quite offended and it would make me want to.
Be even better reporter and be a better investigator of what the facts truly are with the -- it tragedy.
But the very lowest ticket -- in Washington on both sides the out is though is that access you know you will lose access if you -- here you have the -- -- Yet use good judgment I'm not saying -- you you sell your soul to the administration but some people.
They -- so what so what -- you -- access to Obama you know white you know white people don't want to lose I adding that the American people don't care if a reporter isn't gonna have access to the Obama administration because what's coming back as a result of having that.
Privileged powerful access.
Is just lack of transparency it's more confusion it's more uncertainty and a flock is so why in the world -- a reporter.
He concerned about whether they're gonna get more of that fed to them those lies the -- certainty that.
The murky answers to so many questions being asked I wouldn't care about having that access that wouldn't you know what the result this.
I -- -- look look what's happened to suspend does investigation State Department at a conference call and conveniently left Fox News off when they want to -- them the day before their people went to Capitol -- the CIA had a -- and guess what news organization was left out Fox News -- -- a memo was released I think it was by doesn't the intelligence said.
You know so -- to me that's the irony of it but if they are trying to punish fox because we dared to ask -- questions -- all pressing question.
What are the facts on four murders and the more you try to hide it the more that one a 171 days straight to -- two days -- -- -- three days we're still not -- answer.
It's reasonable to be suspicious that you're trying to hide something so tell us -- that a little bit.
The American people need to understand that this this -- -- tragedy it's just one example of what the greater problem is with this lack of transparency.
This just trust full list of our own government.
That -- is a prime example of it but.
It leads you to believe -- to know that there are many other deceptions.
That are part of this White House in the and that.
Mode of operation -- in Washington DC.
You know -- if there's a reasonable explanation for any of the confusion.
You know tell us you know -- -- out.
Don't give us more silly stuff don't hide more stuff.
I frankly -- even like the fact that ambassador rice met behind closed doors and it with the senators I would have rather to talk to mark for unanswered question reporters but.
That didn't happen -- that -- is an awful lot that's done behind closed doors in this town.
That's simply should be put on the open the American people can they can take if they can handle it they're the big people.
Yeah absolutely and by the way it was a fascinating interview that you had with senator Collins yesterday I certainly appreciated that new information.
Was exposed -- because of you asking questions of her is she having had that opportunity to speak with Susan Rice that I think that.
It did -- edit discussion after a hearing that interview should lead us all to believe that that Susan Rice perhaps is not the person to become our next secretary of state.
But the very least if she's nominated she should be she's entitled to a full hearing and she's going to be questioned aggressively as she should be and it's every male candidate should likewise be but -- -- we know she's gonna have a lot of questions asked -- to be nominated but let me turn out of the fiscal cliff.
The end of that is so close to us and I wouldn't go hurt and I wonder will it take well look what would take to reach a deal former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich says.
It takes sitting down and talking face to face.
If they wanted to sit and really talk and he he allowed them with Aaron -- -- people Clinton have been governor.
And as governor he spent years negotiating legislatures.
So we took control of the congress week we sort of got that -- dance.
He and I spent I think 35 days face to face it wasn't this my -- will -- -- -- -- and eventually someday it will -- brief phone call it's nonsense.
You have to be any room.
You have to listen to each other.
So where's President Obama today well -- was not in Washington he was at a toy factory in Pennsylvania.
And that to many -- -- back on the campaign trail campaign first fiscal ideas Governor Palin I'm speaker Gingrich who has battled with President Clinton on a big issue says you gotta sit down face to face.
In the same room -- -- 35 days.
This is now been sort of outsource.
How should this be resolved having -- -- I would get these parties to talk.
Well as speaker Gingrich knew then as he knows now that the House of Representatives has great power because they hold the purse strings they can.
I'm find many of the things that are result of Obama's failed socialist policies when it comes to our fiscal situation.
Speaker Gingrich knows that he.
And capitulate they can.
-- at the table and exert the authority that they have the power that they have that the people just gave them by a re electing Republicans.
In the household in the purse strings -- No more of this reckless irresponsible spending coming from the White House we do wanna read it yet so.
That I believe is what he meant by saying we have that both sit down at the table and both sides and Ed negotiate this thing through but asked for reaching some kind of fiscal cliff that is the -- today in the media at the end in that world a political.
What are Brady got over the Cliff Lee went over the cliff when we engaged in quantitative easing to -- three he and went for years without any kind of budget -- kind of blueprint to figure out how to -- -- this dis functional.
Of overgrown government that is.
Based on borrowed money and -- money from foreign countries that don't necessarily like us and borrowed money from our children and our grandchildren with -- got over the cliff now it's just a matter.
How hard are we gonna -- down there at the bottom of the cliff.
Part -- politicians -- actually and I struggled the whole thought of whether their work ethic is really up for the job.
It is this a lingering -- and I travel a lot -- people about jobs people are worried about losing jobs.
We've known about this fiscal cliff and the sequestration and the tax increases are not increases -- citizens at -- at a minimum.
August of 2011 and all they've done is actually nothing on -- have a lot of chatter no product in the super committee in November 2011 super committee did and could not reach a decision could -- -- an opinion so that the super committee meet December note January -- February noted the president do anything now did anybody do anything in this town now the most of they did was in August they went on vacation and then they campaigned for their jobs which we paid them to go get the job to took off.
August September October early November they finally came back to November and other worried that they can't get a decision before their Christmas vacation.
They're worried that they're not gonna get out -- for Christmas yet to -- -- think like go figure.
Any business owner working with a so money would never do that so I don't in my life too -- -- Politicians.
Now that -- what this comes down to is the need for leadership in our country -- think about all the problems that -- just.
Did did you just a spouse.
Greta an end to consider that he you take all those problems and then you have to acknowledge that the leader of -- the cause of many of those problems.
Was just re elected for four more years of the same four more years of the status quo.
What does Obama do right out out of the -- He says we're -- overtaxed and over suspended.
And outmaneuver the other side in order to somehow through this -- tell you hope -- he wants to create.
Somehow we're going to be a prosperous nation know he has felt.
Can you fiscal policies continue what the group -- analyst the president has has the White House -- -- so yes the leadership and and they -- Democrats have.
They had the senate but can you really let the Republicans off the hook in terms of look.
You know and they -- -- -- -- the other side is just terrible and -- weather -- bad ideas are whatever you've still got to work with -- we've still got to figure out a way to bring them inside your -- To results and is not enough to say -- -- put acting on the table is a word Don -- -- really does take a both the -- I really think greater responsibility is in the party of power.
But I think the -- part of the -- that's not empower you they they've got responsibilities to American people as well in this difficult times.
Well again that the House of Representatives that the leadership there -- to realize they do have power because they hold.
The power of the purse strings.
And they can un fun things that they don't agree with they are the conservatives the Republicans are in the majority there but.
Again it comes down to leadership -- and -- the president of the United States is going to continue to engage in these failed socialist policies and continue Tuesday -- this country.
Then the House of Representatives needs to work around the president and needs to explain to the people what can be done to save us from the -- solvency from this -- Based Gretzky that we're -- that we're facing.
-- 101 of the really lousy ideas yesterday presented by the president's Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner.
Is that we want to Capitol Hill he wanted you want to suggest that they changes so that the purview over the debt ceiling was no longer controlled by congress so that the president would essentially have a credit card.
With no limits they could do exactly what he wanted to but that type of mentality not -- in line -- check some bounces on his own power at a time when we're at a perilous economic condition it's beyond me that the Obama administration would ever suggest something like that and say act -- -- I don't I stand it's it's as though they don't get it.
Yep -- Geithner proposal bear to not have -- -- checks and balances that -- it necessarily in here -- the end defending our our republic.
And also them proposing one point six trillion dollars in new taxes.
And another tens of billions of dollars in another stimulus package that they want to.
Proposed here again House of Representatives need to work around those that -- failed ideas of coming from the president and his spokesperson that Republicans.
Don't get wobbly on us don't be wasn't about this.
We just elected you as representative of the people to get there in Washington DC and rain it he had.
Washington DC federal government because as -- relevant in our lives as possible please.
That's the only solution at this point because we cannot continue to embrace the status quo and think that anything's gonna get better.
Well President Bill Clinton got President Obama not reelected perhaps -- can help learn how to talk the other side like he did woods does speaker Gingrich and get something done so maybe.
Maybe if the president won't call speaker Boehner perhaps so called Bill Clinton and maybe that's a solution but.
-- -- take the last word on that.
Governor as always thank you.
Thank you so much -- have a great night.

Mayor Luke Ravenstahl became Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh, "America's Most Livable City," in September 2006 at the age of 26 following the untimely death of Mayor Bob O'Connor. He went on to win a special election in November 2007 and on November 3, 2009, Ravenstahl was re-elected to a full four-year term. The 33-year-old Pittsburgh native still holds the distinction of being the youngest mayor of any major U.S. city. Ravenstahl is a 1998 graduate of North Catholic High School, located in the Troy Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh. He received his B.A. in Business Administration from Washington and Jefferson College in 2002 where he graduated with honors. Only one year later, Ravenstahl became the youngest member ever elected to Pittsburgh City Council. After serving only two years on council, Ravenstahl was unanimously voted City Council President, a post he held for only eight months before being sworn in as Mayor O'Connor's successor.
During his six years in office, Mayor Ravenstahl has taken a City that was on the brink of bankruptcy to a City whose bond rating has been upgraded several times and, due to a fiscal management approach that holds the line on spending, has paid off nearly $300 million in debt.
Under Ravenstahl's leadership, Pittsburgh is experiencing its Third Renaissance, one that is benefitting Pittsburgh neighborhoods unlike ever before. There is progressive improvement, job creation and more than $5 billion in economic development happening in downtown alone. During a time of global recession, the City's unemployment rate remains below the national average. Citing Pittsburgh's strong economy, President Obama hand-picked Pittsburgh to host the G-20 summit in 2009.
Mayor Ravenstahl's plan to grow the City's new, diverse economy emphasizes the continued revitalization of the City's neighborhoods. The Mayor aims to keep Pittsburgh as "America's Most Livable City" through community and public safety initiatives. For the sixth year in a row, Pittsburgh is seeing crime rates at 40-year historic lows. The Mayor's top initiative, the Pittsburgh Promise, is allowing more and more Pittsburgh Public School students to pursue their dream of higher education. The innovative scholarship program provides students with up to $40,000 toward college and has helped nearly 3,800 students since 2007.

The only reason for 2 stars was the staff. They made it easy to change rooms. For the price, I did not expect a Hampton or Marriott. Previous reviews said the property had been renovated. New paint and a flat screen TV are not renovations. The fridge was old and dirty, most important, it did not work. Air conditioner did... More

We were signed up for the Rock 'n' Roll Brooklyn 10K and this B&B was right next to Prospect park where the race was. Don and his crew definitely made us feel like we were at home. The house was beautiful, breakfast was delicious, and the bed and pillows were heaven, especially after the race. Park Slope is a great... More
