RightOn on wwp is the person who came up with the list of former members who've spoken out.
Here is his latest idea: Getting together all the stories about the difficulties in finding a job once a person leaves the cult. I'd say the SO stories would be very impactful.
The CoS doesn't give letters of recommendation, referrals, etc. Who knows what they'd say if a potential employer called and asked for verification of employment from an application from an ex seeking work???
How hard was it to find a job? What obstacles did you have to overcome? Did you list the CoS as a former employer on job applications?
I think this as well as the disconnection stories would be a real eye opener to many people.
If you'd like to share your story about this you can pm me and I'll pass it on to RightOn. Or you can post it here and I'll pass it on.
Can someone who is registered at OCMB post this there as well. The ex-SO site too?

Backstage at Marc Jacobs S/S 2015, Getty Images.
Stella McCartney and Creatures of the Wild.
Show off hair
As the #nomakeup trend spreads from your Instagram account to the catwalk, the spotlight moves onto that other beauty (and personality) enhancer – your hair. Here's what to do.
When it came to beauty looks, a sense of naturalness and realness permeated the S/S 2015 collections. But, as so often when fashion goes minimalist in one area, the dynamic gets balanced out in another. This time that meant moving the spotlight just a few inches up, from lips, cheeks and eyes to statement hair.
Look at Marc Jacobs, who sent out an army of models on the catwalk wearing choppy black wigs, none with any makeup. The message was clear: strong hair needs nothing else, not even a slick of lip gloss.
When we say statement hair, don't think that has to mean crazy cuts, bold colours or complicated up-dos. Guido Palau, the man behind the wigs at Marc Jacobs, explains: "The looks we were doing for spring 2015 were about hyperrealism. It's what we are terming 'the new normal' – being wearable and relatable." Paris master stylist David Mallett adds: "This is statement hair, intelligent hair. [The look] is dishevelled, well-designed and adapted to our times. Normal and real, just a bit better."
At Creatures of the Wind, we saw more of that. Anthony Turner's ponytails were messy and half-undone. And Eugene Souleiman brought back the crimper for the ponies at Stella McCartney. Sweaty gym hair was the inspiration for Guido's wet-look styles at Proenza Schouler and Alexander Wang.
John Frieda creative consultant Harry Josh (who tends to Gisele's hair, among others) believes that runway trends "are definitely a reflection of what the modern woman wants to wear". At the same time, the supermodel stylist says, "This is really the age of independent women. They're working in demanding, high-powered jobs that take up a lot of time, but they're never going to sacrifice style. The end result is often something that is low maintenance – or at least looks low maintenance – but is always chic."

New Delhi: The cabinet committee on economic affairs (CCEA) may approve budgetary ceilings for annuity payments for public-private partnership (PPP) projects and allow the export of processed or value-added agricultural products even in the event of a restriction or ban on the export of the basic farm produce when it meets on Thursday.
PPP concessions can either be sustained by user charges to be collected by the concessionaire or through annuity payments to be made by the government in the absence of a revenue stream. Annuity payments for a project are deferred budgetary payments by a government department out of its annual budgetary allocations. As a result of the long-term commitment, the budgets of departments for several years become inflexible and hence need prior planning.
According to the proposal put before CCEA, annuity commitments for a particular grant or scheme of a department in a year should not exceed 20% of the projected annual plan outlay and 25% for the current Five-Year Plan. Also, in any given year, the annuity projects awarded should not involve a total capital expenditure exceeding the total Plan outlay of that scheme for that year. However, the proposed changes will not be applicable to the ministry of road transport and highways.
The proposal by the commerce ministry seeks to allow the export of processed products including wheat or meslin flour, cereal flours, cereal groats, meal pellets, milk products, peanut butter and value-added products of onion. Since these products constitute a minuscule portion of the overall exports, their continued export will not affect availability in the domestic market and encourage investment in the processed food sector and cold chain infrastructure in the country.
CCEA is also expected to take up a proposal to use the proceeds of stake sales in public sector units deposited in the National Investment Fund to recapitalize state-owned banks and insurance companies starting in the next fiscal year.

Integrating Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) Within An S88 StructureDownload Now
An S88.01-aware automation system covers the control & management of activities carried out within plant equipment directly connected to it via hardwired, serial or fieldbus links. Batches begin and end within these confines. Plant managers see a wider picture; eg Process fluid, the batch with its ID, maybe transferred from conventional reactors to Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) and later returned to the piped plant. This application uses soft (PC) phases within the S88 operation to deal with transfers to & from IBCs. Rather than implementing sequence logic in a plant controller the soft phases interface with an SQL database which tracks the batch ID as process fluid is transferred out of the piped plant. The SQL server database interfaces in turn with radio barcode scanners, which identify IBCs, reactors, operators & IBC storage rooms used in each transfer. Batch ID is preserved between transfers and the operator view from the automation system is of a batch held in a unit (the IBC). The status of any IBC, eg clean, batch ID inside, may be instantly determined via the barcode scanner. The following benefits are realised: Cycle time reduction, Reduction in abnormal occurrences, Production capacity increase, Improved safety

Funeral services will be held 12 Noon Friday, July 13 at Victory Baptist Church in Mt. Juliet for Mr. Clemmons, 35. He died in an automobile accident Saturday, July 7, 2012.
Visitation will be 3-8 p.m. Thursday, July 12 at Corona Baptist Church in Mt. Juliet and Friday from 11 a.m. until 12 Noon at Victory Baptist Church.
The sky was so blue it hurt to look at it. Puffs of clouds stayed high above. Almost as high, as the eagle whirling, screeing and riding the thermals. I reckon he was searching for a meal far below in the sage. Not quite October but tasting like it, it was an Octember day, a day in late September that just feels as though it is October.
We were at a trailhead high at the base of the Tetons, Ronnie Many Horses and I. It was a day for fishing a lake seldom fished, maybe never by a white man. Ronnie, my friend and sometimes rodeo-traveling partner, is a full blood Shoshone and my guide for a day on the Wind River reservation. Back then, a reservation permit cost four dollars. It was a long time ago.

The first words out of Neills mouth when we hit the beach were, Nikoli, do you want to dig a hole?
And so it went for a solid week. Each morning my youngest would rise and his day would go something like this.
Get up whenever he naturally awoke.
Breakfast was served to the little master. His only decision being, would it be Cocoa Puffs or eggs and bacon?
Decisions, decisions.
Immediately thereafter, he would put on his swim trunks and grab a newly washed and dried beach towel and would race out the door to the beach.
There he would find waiting, just for him chairs, umbrella, pale, shovel, kite and a boogie board. Together with his friends hed spend hours and hours digging a hole, running into the surf, catching a few waves and then back to digging a hole.
Dear Ken: What can you tell us about the actor who plays Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham, on PBSs Downton Abbey?
That would be British actor Hugh Bonneville, 48, the son of a nurse and a surgeon, who trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Arts in London. The star of TV, film, stage and radio is also famed in his native country for the TV sitcom TwentyTwelve. Among his movie credits are Tomorrow Never Dies, Notting Hill, Asylum and Iris. Playing the lord of such a magnificent estate has quite an element of fantasy fulfillment for the thespian. Every time I drove up to Highclere Castle, where we filmed the series, it made my heart flutter. Its such an impressive house. You cant help but be swept away by the atmosphere, he says. The actor and his wife have a 10-year-old son. By the by, filming is currently underway on the third series of Downton Abbey.
Jerry Jones celebrates 50 years of drilling
{phocagallery view=category|categoryid=60|imageid=379|displayname=0|float=left}By KEN BECK
The Wilson Post
When it comes to making deep holes in the ground, Jerry Jones, a man with true grit, proves an expert.
His Jones & Stone Drilling Company averaged drilling more than 500,000 feet a year over the past 12 years. That totals up to, or more accurately down to, 1,100 miles.
Jones, 69, went to work in the drilling business 50 years ago on July 12, 1962, with (George) Eatherly and (Arthur) Jackson Drilling.
I had no earthly idea what I was getting into, said Jones, who was diving into the business of sinking deep holes into the earth. I had never been around drilling before.
But that was then, and this is now, and Jones knows how to drill holes in the ground like Dunkin knows how to make holes in doughnuts.
No two holes drill alike. What will work on one hole may not work on another. Thats because of the change of formation, said the 5-foot-9, 140-pound Lebanon resident. Its kinda like a doctor. You never know till you open em up.

We should be catching a break this week on these extreme high temperatures. It seems that every day for the past week has been in the 100s, and now the humidity is so high you can chew it. I am in hopes that this year at the Wilson County Fair it will not get as hot as it did several years ago
I took a side trip out to the blown out bridge on South Dickerson Chapel Road this past Friday, and every few yards had an Indigo Bunting singing its little heart out. They must be one of the most prolific birds in the county. I wanted to get some pictures from there to go on my facebook to share with my friends that subscribe to "If you grew up in Lebanon, you remember" page. An old friend, BC Yahola, is on there and we try to share photos and our memories with all the others. Check it out.
Of all the birds here on my side of the road, there is one who stands out with his singing. It lives across the street where Holly Boyd resides with her husband, David, and two children, Ayla and Atticus. Their back yard is fenced in with lots of plants growing there. That makes her back yard a paradise for a Song Sparrow. Sometimes it will visit me to feed on the ground where I toss out mixed seed for my ground scratchers.
Texas A&M and Missouri officially became new members of the Southeastern Conference on July 1.
Their real induction comes next week when they join 12 other teams, each represented by their head football coaches and three players at the annual SEC Football Media Days in Birmingham.
I was there the day then-SEC Commissioner Roy Kramer welcomed Arkansas and South Carolina to the conference in 1992.
I had known and covered Kramer during his days as Vanderbilts athletics director. But the day he wore a large plastic Razorback snout on his head, was indeed groundbreaking.It was totally out of character for Kramer, who was always dignified in his role at Vanderbilt and as the SECs commissioner.

Members of the local bar association are honoring Lebanon attorney Comer L. Donnell today as part of an ongoing series to recognize senior members of the legal profession.
Mr. Donnell, who has served as public defender for the 15th Judicial District since 1989, the year the position was created, is most deserving of this recognition.
He is a credit to the legal profession and, as important, he is a credit to our community.He is active in his church, supportive of charitable causes, and committed to making his home community a better place to live.

Hi, Mrs. Donnell, I'm not very techno, my daughter actually hooked me up with this iPhone . I have a question for you, and I've tried sending it through Wilson Post and can't seem to get it through, so I'll just ask here. When the weather is perfect like it has been for a day or two why do the weather men refer to it as a Chamber of Commerce Day?-Thanks L. L. J.
Well, hello, Facebook friend! Thats the route this question travelled. Traveled. The first past tense of travel is the British version; the second is the American. If youre feeling international, double your ls. It turns out Im very British Isles; I submitted DNA to Ancestry.com and my results were 76 percent British Isles, 21 percent north central Europe, 3 percent unknown. Of all things, they included a little spiel to remind me that Shakespeare was English. I suppose someone doesnt know.

An audit report released Tuesday by the Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury showed several deficiencies in record keeping and handling of seized evidence and money by the Wilson County Sheriffs Department as part of joint drug and crime tasks forces, which were led by former Deputy John Edwards.
The audit was conducted by the Comptrollers office last year, investigating records and cases from Jan. 1, 2008 through May 31, 2011, that were handled through the Joint Violent Crimes Task Force, or JVCTF, and Safe Streets Task Force, or SSTF, which were joint operations with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
We corrected these things last year, moved on and are operating under the policies that they wanted us to implement, said Sheriff Terry Ashe, who added that deficiencies were a result of Edwards criminal actions.
Edwards pled guilty to obstruction of official proceeding and was sentenced on April 27, 2012 to 18 years in prison.The FBI and TBI requested the audit to aid in their investigation of Edwardss actions.
Bairds Grove Missionary Baptist Church will have a Youth Revival at 7 p.m., Wednesday through Friday, July 11-13.
Guest speaker Wednesday night will be Minister Marcelly Smith of Lily Hill Baptist Church; Thursday night, OKeefe Hassell; and Friday night, Minister Deangelo Weir of Mt. Zion Baptist Church.

A Davidson County man is being held in Wilson County Jail on two theft charges after he reportedly stole a John Deere Gator from a Mt. Juliet resident and is also alleged to be responsible for thefts in multiple counties.
Dustin Nicholson, 19, of Wildview Drive, Nashville, was arrested on Thursday, July 5, along with his brother, Jason, for a theft scheme that had the brothers allegedly stealing thousands of dollars worth of property.
Lt. Ricky Knight of the Wilson County Sheriffs Department said Nicholson reportedly responded to a Craigslist ad by a Mt. Juliet resident looking to sell the John Deere Gator.
Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security announced the Wilson County Driver Service Center located at 725 Elkins Drive in Lebanon, will temporarily close on Friday, July 13 and Monday, July 16, and will reopen for normal business hours at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, July 17, in its new location at 204 Maddo- Simpson Pkwy., also in Lebanon.
The newly-constructed facility replaces the modular driver service center that has served Wilson County for the past 25 years. The new driver service center will also house Tennessee Highway Patrol personnel assigned to Wilson County.Improving customer service and reducing wait times at our driver service centers are top priorities of this department. This new driver service center replaces a space that was never intended to be permanent. It will help us better serve the citizens of Wilson County, Commissioner Bill Gibbons said.

Empower Me Day Camp has a simple goal, to empower children ages 5-21 with mild to moderate physical or developmental disabilities using fun and exciting activities throughout the year to enhance their quality of life.
The non-profit organization was established in 1999 to help children throughout the greater Nashville area. The staff includes occupational and physical therapists, speech language pathologists and teachers. They have a variety of programs throughout the year including a Sports Festival, Easter Egg Hunt and Spring Fling. Their biggest program is happening right now the six-week summer day camp.
We do basically any activity youd find at a regular day camp, but we adapt them so each child can participate and do them as good as possible, said Michelle Hill, Empower Me Day Camps executive director.
Some families will join the camp for a couple weeks; some will join for the whole summer. The camp is open to children with different diagnoses, including but not limited to, autism, cerebral palsy and children who are blind or deaf.
Thirty-two baseball youth teams will descend on Lebanon Friday for the eighth annual Continential Amateur Baseball Association (CABA) 14U World Series.

Kiwanis 11-12's eliminated Tuesday
HARTSVILLE -- Lebanons Kiwanis Little League 11-12 all-stars were eliminated from district tournament play Tuesday night with a 20-4 loss to Smith County at the City Park.
One night earlier on Monday, the local team ousted Lafayette 12-8. The Lebanon squad fell into the losers bracket with a 16-2 drubbing at the hands of Gallatin on Saturday -- then waited an extra 24 hours to hit the field due to wet weather and lightning in Trousdale County.

9 Graham Crackers, crushed to 1 ¼ cups
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup baking cocoa
6 Tbsp. butter, melted
Butter an 8" by 8" pan/dish. Whirl crackers in a processor until crushed. Combine the crumbs, sugar, and baking cocoa; stir to mix. Add melted butter and mix well. Press into the bottom and partway up the sides of the dish. Leave some thickness where the bottom and side intersect as you press up the side. This helps support the edges when serving. Set aside.
1 1/2 cups milk (I used low fat)
1 package chocolate instant pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
Combine milk and pudding mix. Beat about one minute or until thickened. Blend in the sour cream. Pour over crust.
1 Graham Cracker, crushed
1/4 cup butterscotch chips
Whirl cracker and chips until crumbly. Sprinkle over pudding mix and press gently in place. Chill 2-3 hours or until completely set. Makes approximately 6 servings.
If truth be told, this was an amazing dessert; simple to prepare and yet so pleasingly rich. Too bad I didn't have a big dollop of home made whipped cream to plop on top. If so, my square chocolate pudding pie would have earned the title outrageous square chocolate pie dessert!

Many businesses either have implemented or claim to be implementing microservice architectures, for better or for worse. Microservice architectures give you strong module boundaries, independent deployment and independent scaling of lightweight pieces, isolation of concerns, and the opportunity to use whatever technology is appropriate for each small service. On the other hand, distributed systems inherently have higher latency and more opportunities for failure than monolithic systems, as well as higher operational complexity, so the application has to be "big enough" to justify the overhead of being distributed.
Let's assume you have an application that justifies the overhead of being distributed, and you want to implement it as a set of microservices. The next questions to ask are where and how you should deploy and maintain your microservices.

As I continue to make the transition into adulthood, I often find myself taking trips down memory lane. I recall racing home from school and flying through my homework so that I could get outside to a game of touch football or pick-up basketball with the other neighborhood kids. Before we knew it the sun would vanish and we'd all be heading in, ready to do it all over again the next day. Those were the good days, as many older adults might say.
But it seems as though today's youth has a different idea of what makes a day good. Hours upon hours of fast-moving images on a screen with accompanying sound effects have replaced carefree outdoor play. It's hard to believe that the average American child today spends only four to seven minutes per day in unstructured outdoor play, according to the National Wildlife Federation and their "Be Out There" initiative. While it may appear to be cool to spend hundreds of dollars on and obsess over the latest gadgets, the real expense is our nation's declining health.
According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, more than a third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese in 2012. The fact is, the lack of outdoor physical activity decreases physical fitness levels, increases the frequency of ADHD, and increases stress levels in children. The National Wildlife Federation notes some surprising benefits to outdoor play which include:
· Healthier bodies with increased levels of Vitamin D, which helps to fight off serious health issues such as heart disease and diabetes.
· Improved distance vision and reduced chance of nearsightedness.
· Improved performance on standardized tests and critical thinking skills.
· Stress levels have been shown to drop within minutes of "green time," and free play with others helps with emotional development and lessens the chances of children developing symptoms of anxiety and depression.
If you ask me, it sounds like a pretty simple solution to such a growing problem. Encouraging kids to go out and play in the fresh air creates fun childhood memories while helping to build the body, spirit and mind.
It's easy. You can start your kids on the right path by finding a park or playground or walking trail near you.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/12/2010 (2454 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A day of outrage from angry customers prompted Shaw TV to reverse its decision to charge for the popular yule log program that's traditionally been broadcast on basic cable channels.
The company decided to move the long-running image of a log burning in a fireplace to video-on-demand channels. It wanted to charge customers 99 cents for one hour and 55 minutes of the program. Shaw said it would match its customers' payments and donate the proceeds to local charities.
The Internet lit up with angry Shaw customers berating the company for charging for a service that's been free for years.
"In this age of social media and conversation, we were able to quickly hear the voice of our customers and have taken action," Shaw president Peter Bissonnette said in a release issued Friday.
The yule log is burning until Jan. 2 on Shaw's basic digital channels.

Hi Bernard, got your message regarding William Kelley. I can't be sure which one you're referring to, but this is not a family in my ancestry, they probably married into one of the families that I was working on as part of one of the several projects I've been working on. Hopefully one of the Kelley descendants will help with the Kelley DNA analysis. You might want to post your information on the Kelley Message Boards on Ancestry and Genforum, to get the word out.

A marathon fundraising effort
September 2014
A team of investment managers from BGF swapped their brogues and boots for trainers earlier this year to raise funds for Diabetes Scotland and handed over their £2,376 fundraising donation to the charity.
BGF colleagues Duncan Macrae, Mark Bryant, David Gammie, Gemma Hamilton, Jennifer Graham and David Murray were joined by BGF board director, Karen Bothwell from Lloyds Banking Group, to form two marathon relay teams during this year's Edinburgh Marathon Festival in May. The first BGF team completed the marathon relay in 3 hours 34 minutes, with the other only three minutes behind.
BGF risk and compliance manager, David Murray who ran two out of four legs of his team's marathon relay totalling 12.4 miles, explained:
"BGF chose to raise funds for Diabetes Scotland as a number of us have close family members who suffer from the disease and have a good understanding of the dangers and strains of living with it on a day-to-day basis. We are all very proud to have raised so much for the charity and understand it will go far to helping those currently living with diabetes as well as those that will be diagnosed in the future.
"We really enjoyed training together but also competing against each other on the day."
Susie Williamson, Diabetes UK Scotland regional fundraiser for Glasgow and Edinburgh said:
"Team BGF Edinburgh's fundraising efforts totaling £2,376, including matched funding from BGF itself, represents one of the biggest donations from this year's Edinburgh Marathon Festival, and this has increased the total raised at the event by Diabetes Scotland runners in 2014 to more than £31,000. Both teams made a tremendous effort in fundraising during their gruelling training, for which we are immensely grateful.
"Diabetes is a condition where there is too much glucose in the blood because the body cannot use it properly. If not managed well, both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes can lead to devastating complications. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in people of working age in the UK, and is a major cause of lower limb amputation, kidney failure and stroke. There are over 260,000 people living with diabetes in Scotland, and around 50,000 more who have Type 2 diabetes but are undiagnosed. As many as 620,000 people are at high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and if current trends continue, an estimated 350,000 people will have diabetes by 2025.
"Donations such as BGF's play a vital part in helping our charity to care for, connect with and campaign alongside people living with, and at risk of, diabetes. We can't thank the team enough for their efforts."
Jennifer Parker
Risk & Compliance
Jen works in the Risk and Compliance team at BGF where she focuses on all areas of compliance and is responsible for carrying out KYC on BGF investments.
Prior to joining BGF, Jen worked for SWIP (now Aberdeen Asset Management) initially in their Property team before finding her way into the Risk and Compliance world.
Jen has an MA (Hons) in International Business and Languages from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh and spent her third year of university studying at the Otto-Friedrich University in Germany.
"Since joining BGF in 2013 I have seen both BGF as a company and our portfolio of investments grow significantly. Working on the majority of BGF's investments, I get the opportunity to work directly with each of the BGF regions and with portfolio companies across the different sectors. Being a part of a company like BGF and seeing what we can do to help build British business is extremely enjoyable and exciting."

As a Finnish ex-pat there are quite a few things I miss from my home country. I've listed some of them here before, but dairy products and cheeses are still amongst the most missed items on the list. Finnish buttermilk cheese is something I am, however, able to somewhat replicate here in Australia and I've wanted to experiment with it for a while now.
I adore cheese and that is probably why I got so obsessed with making this buttermilk variety at home. The texture resembles that of ricotta and on its own its very mild and quite tasteless. There are many versions of this cheese and it is surprisingly versatile, but it is ever so simple to make with just a few ingredients you most likely already have at home.
I used the same batch of cheese to make both sweet and savoury cheese (which I'll share with you another time) and I was very happy with the way it turned out! The sweetened cheese pairs beautifully with some oven roasted fruits and dried cherries. All you need is a bit of raw honey for sweetness and you have a lovely little dessert waiting to be relished.
Oven baked fruit with Finnish buttermilk cheese*
(recipe for the cheese adapted from Kotiruoka)
1 litre buttermilk
2 large free-range eggs
1,5 litres milk (low fat or full fat)
100g skim milk powder
(lemon juice)
1 tbsp raw honey
1 apple
1 pear
1 tbsp raw honey
dried cherries
Lightly beat the eggs and the buttermilk until well combined. In a large saucepan, heat the milk until warm (42C). Whisk in the milk powder and continue to heat until almost boiling. Take the saucepan off the heat and whisk in the buttermilk mixture. Cover the saucepan with a lid and leave in a warm place for about an hour. Add lemon juice (a few tablespoons) if there is no curd forming on top of the mixture. You will need to keep the mixture quite warm for this to happen. Once the mixture has curdled, use a slotted spoon to scoop out the curd and place it into a sieve lined with a cheese cloth and placed on top of a bowl. Cover the curd with the cheese cloth, place some weight on top and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours or overnight. After this, sweeten the cheese with a tablespoon of raw honey.
Preheat oven to 170C. Cut the fruit into wedges and place in an oven dish. Drizzle the fruit with some raw honey and bake until tender. Serve the fruit with the buttermilk cheese and sprinkle with dried cherries.
*Note to the recipe. I made a whole batch of cheese and then divided it into two. For this sweet variety you will only need half of this amount.
PS. I have some exciting news to share with you! My first recipe for the brand new website called Honest Cooking has just been posted!! Go and have a look, I hope you like it!!

Senator McCain Pimps for CIA-spawned Color Revolution in Ukraine
Globalists work to push Ukraine away from Russia into the European Union
Kurt Nimmo
December 16, 2013
On Sunday, Arizona's Republican Senator, John McCain, told thousands of protesters in Kiev, Ukraine, that the United States will take "concrete action" against Ukraine's government if it moves against the demonstrations. McCain said sanctions against Ukraine "would deserve serious consideration" by Congress if Viktor Yanukovych and the Ukrainian government entered into a custom and trade agreement with Russia. Yanukovych has resisted pressure to sign off on a deal to bring the former Soviet Union republic into the European Union. Large and occasionally violent demonstrations occurred after Yanukovych signaled he would not sign the EU agreement.

Residency issue in Donora mayoral race
John Lunt is staging a write-in campaign to become Donora mayor, but does he actually live there?
There is some evidence Lunt resides in the borough, but there are indications he lives in Vanderbilt, Fayette County.
The issue is central to Tuesday's election because state law requires candidates for municipal office to reside in the municipality where the position is sought for one year prior to election.
That means the Lunt must have established residency in Donora by Nov. 5, 2012, to be eligible for election as mayor on Tuesday.
Lunt showed The Valley Independent a copy of his Pennsylvania's driver's license, which was issued Nov. 8, 2011, and listed his address as 801 Meldon Ave., Donora.
In addition, a check with the Washington County Elections Bureau showed that he voted in the county, where Donora is located, in last year's general election.
While his driver's license and voting record normally would make moot questions about Lunt's residency, there are other factors at play.
For instance, Lunt's address was listed as 193 Virgin Run Road in Vanderbilt on official documents on two occasions in which he was cited for criminal activity during the past 12 months. (He was found not guilty of both charges.)
And records at the Fayette County Tax Assessment Bureau show that John and Kathryn Lunt earlier this year filed under the state Homeowner and Tax Relief Act to have real estate taxes reduced on the property they own at 193 Virgin Run Road in Vanderbilt.
According to the state Department of Community and Economic Development, properties that receive tax relief under the act are "primarily used as the domicile of an owner who is a natural person."
Larry Spahr, director of elections for Washington County, said his office does not investigate residency questions, explaining that is an issue for the court system.
He said that if the court decertifies a borough election result because it determines a candidate does not meet the residency requirement, it would be up to borough council to fill the vacancy.
Lunt acknowledges that he lived in Donora before moving to Vanderbilt several years ago, but said he moved back to Donora on Nov. 15, 2011.
According to Washington County tax records, Lunt filed a change of residency in February 2008, indicating he was moving from 801 Meldon Ave., Donora, to 193 Virginia Run Road, Vanderbilt.
Elections records show Lunt voted in Washington County in 2005 and 2006. But in the 2008 general election, he voted in Fayette County and did so again in the fall of 2010.
He applied for a status change with the Washington County Elections Bureau on Jan. 18, 2012, and voted in Washington County on Nov. 6, 2012 - the first time he did so in that county in six years.
According to the Fayette County Tax Assessment office, Lunt owns two properties in Fayette County – at 193 Virgin Run Road in Vanderbilt and one acre on Johnson Hollow Road in Washington Township. His tax bills are mailed to 193 Virgin Run Road, Vanderbilt.
Lunt continues to pay real estate taxes on the Donora property, which is listed as a commercial property. It once housed the former Service Rent All, a business Lunt co-owned.
He said he now rents the first floor of Meldon Avenue property to Trees R Us, and he resides in a second-floor apartment there.
Lunt acknowledged having other properties in Vanderbilt and West Virginia.
"I receive a lot of mail at my wife's primary residence in Vanderbilt," Lunt said. "But my primary residence is in Donora."
But when Lunt was charged with driving with an unregistered vehicle in Speers on Nov. 29, 2012, the nontraffic citation listed his home as 193 Virgin Run Road, Vanderbilt.
A Charleroi Regional Police Department spokesman said Lunt showed officers a driver's license with the Vanderbilt address when he was cited. He eventually was found not guilty.
Likewise, when Lunt was charged with harassment on May 15, documents again listed Vanderbilt as his address.
Records filed in the Smock office of Magisterial District Judge Dwight Shaner identify Lunt's home address as 193 Virgin Run Road in Vanderbilt.
State Trooper Christopher Klacik, who filed the charge, told The Valley Independent, "I asked him, 'What's your address?' and he said, '193 Virgin Run Road, Vanderbilt.'"
Lunt ultimately was found not guilty of the harassment charge.
Lunt is not new to the court system.
According to court records, he was charged with burglary, theft by unlawful taking and criminal conspiracy to commit burglary in connection with an incident Nov. 1, 1990, in Charleroi.
Lunt, John Charles "Pekoe" Kenney and Raymond Dewaine Arnold broke into the Montgomery Ward store in Charleroi at 1:12 a.m. on that date, stealing six compact disc players, according to the court documents.
Facing a criminal trial on Jan. 13, 1992, Lunt entered a guilty plea on the burglary charge, while the other two charges were dismissed.
He was paroled July 16, 1992.
Lunt's accomplice in the burglary, Kenney, was a car thief who managed to elude police before the FBI arrested him inside a bar in Minneapolis on Nov. 5, 1991.
Wanted for nearly a dozen bank robberies in three states, he had escaped from a detention center in Greensburg in December 1990.
The target of Lunt's write-in campaign, long-time Donora Mayor John Lignelli, also has a criminal record.
Lignelli has acknowledged previously that he pleaded guilty in 1974 to a federal charge of gambling for numbers writing. He was placed on probation.
During the time he was on probation, Lignelli was appointed to borough council. He served as a councilman for several years and is now seeking his sixth term as mayor.
Spahr said no one, to the best of his knowledge, has ever legally questioned Lignelli's eligibility to hold public office.

A tie and a loss summed up last week for the Waconia boys' hockey team. Now 7-11-2, the Wildcats have just five games remaining this season.
The conference remains a tight battle between No. 17 (2A) Holy Family, a team that is 7-1 in the Wright County standings, and No. 18 (1A) Mound-Westonka (7-2 WCC). Waconia, with a conference record of 2-4-1, is out of the title chase and sits in fifth over Hutchinson and Litchfield/Dassel-Cokato.
After hosting New Ulm tonight, Feb. 7, the Wildcats will finish the season against three ranked conference teams.
They will host No. 19 (1A) Orono on Feb. 12, sandwiched between road games versus No. 17 (2A) Holy Family (Feb. 9) and No. 18 (1A) Mound-Westonka (Feb. 15).
Waconia 2, Delano 2
With a tie at Delano on Jan. 29, Waconia head coach Dan Benham said the team played one of its stronger performances this season.
"We played a complete game and the boys skated hard," he said. "We had some chances to win late in the game. Good team game."
Senior Tanner Riebel started the scoring against the Tigers at 16:57 in the first period, finding the back of the net on an assist from junior Kevin Kittleson.
Delano scored at 1:26 in the second period, before Riebel responded with his second goal at 8:10, senior Ryan Mattson on the assist. The Tigers tied the game at 2-2 at 12:13 in the second.
The third and overtime periods remained scoreless and the game ended in the stalemate. Shots on goal were even as the Tigers had 35 to the Wildcats' 31.
Senior goalie Nathan Kovach saved 33 shots for a .943 save percentage.
Providence Academy 5, Waconia 1
At Providence Academy on Jan. 31, the Wildcats had a rocky start to the game which led to the four-goal loss, according to Benham.
"Had a tough start to the game, taking a few penalties in [the] first and allowing them to get an early lead," he said. "Never really felt like we got into the flow of the game."
The Lions scored twice in the first period, the first on a power play at 12:29 and then again at 15:39. Two additional goals in the second period (one short-handed) extended their lead to four.
The Wildcats made the scoreboard at 2:05 in the third period, on a power play goal by sophomore Cal Rassman. Riebel and Mattson were credited with the assists.
Providence scored its fifth goal of the game at 15:41 in the third to seal the loss for Waconia.
The Lions outshot Waconia 32-20. Kovach saved 27 shots for a save percentage of .844.
"Nathan made some tough saves to keep us in it, but we were not able to capitalize on the offensive end," Benham said.

Next Bond Girl…Susan Boyle? (PHOTOS)
Earlier this week, rumors leaked out about Susan Boyle recording the all-important title song for the next edition of the James Bond movie series, now starring Daniel Craig as Special Agent 007.
Susan would be joining an all-star cast of past Bond crooners, including Paul McCartney, Tom Jones, Madonna, Carly Simon, Duran Duran, Tina Turner, and, more recently, Chris Cornell and Jack White/Alicia Keys.
However, despite the great honor, we couldn't help but imagine SuBo taking on an even more illustrious role in the next Bond film — that of the famous Bond Girl, a plum role played in the past by Halle Berry, Tanya Roberts, Carey Lowell, and Jane Seymour.
On behalf of SuBo's submission for this coveted role, we've merged up some Bond Girls of the past to see what SuBo might have looked like in their famous roles.

After more than 10 years driving a Porsche Boxster with Dry Weather Only Performance Tires (PZero, Michelin PS2's, Bridgestone Potenza S02, S03, and 050 Pole Positions in 18 and 19 sizes) in the West Coast and Southwest I decided to move to Chicago. Having spent the first 25 years of my life here, I knew what I was getting into in terms of driving conditions in the winter, in fact when I received my drivers license, I took the test in the snow in a rear wheel drive manual in January here. My options: 1) Sell Boxster and get something with All Wheel Drive, 2) Buy second car and store Boxster, 3) Buy 2nd set of wheels with dedicated winter tires. I went for the 3rd option and purchased the WinterContact 810S tires from Continental on a set of 17 Stock Porsche Wheels.
I waited until after Thanksgiving to do the changeover and spent a good number of days driving in the very cold and periodically wet weather with the Bridgestone 050 Potenzas Pole Positions on 19 Carrera S Wheels. VERY SCARY! Seriously, when it was colder than 35°F, I elected to take a cab rather than driving as it just was not worth the risk. After doing the swap (I suggest buying a 4-way wrench and floor jack), I am completely blown away, the car is quiet, comfortable, and well mannered on dry (cold) roads and superior on wet and snowy roads conditions. I can pull into and out of parking spots layered in 6 inches of snow/slush, cruise side streets, and alleys, and have no problem ascending or descending the 15° ramp that goes in and out of my building garage. I strongly recommend this tire over any 4 season option! Most tire shops will swap and store your other wheels for a minimal price twice a year, in my case I stick them in my storage unit. It takes about 30-45 minutes to do the complete changeover including bagging up the other wheels (to keep me clean). Best tire purchase I have ever made! I am only limited by the height of the front spoiler!

Students take a stand against bullying
Seeing someone wearing the orange isn't uncommon around Farmington. It's one of the school colors at Farmington High School, after all. But when Farmington Elementary School students and staff put on their orange clothes Oct. 9, it wasn't a show of school spirit.
No, on that particular day, the FES students and staff were wearing orange as a symbol to stand up against bullying. It was part of Unity Day 2013, sponsored by PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center.
It worked well with the theme for the month, Making Healthy Choices, at Farmington Elementary, school counselor Jen Venz said.
"It's caring, fairness, kindness, treating people with respect, and teaching the Golden Rule," Venz said.
Earlier in the week, students and staff at FES signed their names to some large orange discs, not really knowing what would be done with those discs. Art teacher Gail O'Malley had a plan, though. She connected the discs to black discs, creating a large chain of sorts, which is now featured in the lobby at the school.
"The chain shows that we are united, as staff and students, to end bullying in our school," Venz explained. "We are talking about taking care of each other by being kind to one another."
FES also held a poster contest in connection to the school's Unity Day activity.
The Unity Day concept proved popular. Venz estimated that about 95 percent of the staff and student body wore orange to signify they were standing up to bullying.
Akin Road Elementary School and Meadowview Elementary School also participated in Unity Day.

Another movie soundtrack from a nearby star. Created using Metaphysical Function from Native Instrument's Reaktor and lots of reverb (SIR & Classic Reverb from my Powercore firewire) within Cubase SX. Normalised.
Another super, atmospheric sample. Great!!
Jovica have a lot of really interesting samples. Low, full, rich with feelings. I use them as backgroud for reading texts.
I realy apreciate his work!

The Obama administration intends to put more energy into working with other major powers – especially China – to increase economic pressure on impoverished North Korea after Pyongyang's defiant launch of a long-range rocket.
US officials have met at the United Nations Security Council to work out new penalties that could generate change in North Korea, which is already the most heavily sanctioned country in the world.
The major powers may seek to further pare North Korea's limited financial ties with the outside world and impose more intrusive inspections on its sea and air cargo to prevent proliferation of weapons.
"North Korea will only truly strengthen itself by abiding by international norms, living up to its commitments and international obligations, and working to feed its citizens, to educate its children and to win the trust of its neighbours," said United States National Security Council spokesman, Tommy Vietor.
Defence Secretary Leon Panetta told CNN that the US was still assessing Wednesday's rocket launch, which apparently resulted in North Korea's successful deployment of a satellite into orbit.
North Korea says the launch was for scientific purposes, but the US and other countries say it could be a step toward Pyongyang building an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Mr Panetta said the US was boosting its military presence in the region. "One of the reasons we're rebalancing in the Pacific is to deal with the threat from North Korea," he said.
Administration officials regard the threat from Pyongyang as an important but second-tier security issue.
A North Korean rocket launch in April resulted in failure. However, the successful launch this week indicates that the regime has taken a step toward the capability to carry a nuclear warhead to the US, building pressure on the White House to reconsider a policy that has so far been unable to slow the communist nation's rocket program.
The launch is worrying, experts say, not only because of what North Korea might do with the technology, but because the cash-starved regime might sell the technology to past customers of its missile hardware, such as Iran.
The administration has tried sanctions as well as incentives to change North Korea's course over the last four years, with little success. Its overarching approach has been "strategic patience": it has been waiting for the regime of Kim Jong-un, who succeeded his late father last year, to demonstrate its willingness to negotiate with world powers on its nuclear and missile programs.

Sun Java System Access Manger (henceforth, Access Manager) offers a robust solution for Web-based single sign-on (SSO), federation, and security of Web services through an administration interface for centralized authentication and authorization. As described in part 1 of this series, in addition to setting the standard allow-deny policies, you can extend authentication with Access Manager by configuring mechanisms and authorization policies for various Web servers and application servers by means of Policy Agents.
With Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 (henceforth, SharePoint), you can create portals as launch pads for Web sites. Each site can be a top-level page, from which you can build other subsites as in a tree hierarchy. You can also define authorization policies to grant access and administration rights to various individuals to the sites, as appropriate, at different levels of the hierarchy.
This article describes how to integrate SharePoint with Access Manager for SSO. Afterward, once Access Manager has authenticated a user, that person canwithout having to log in againaccess the other sites that are also configured for SSO through Access Manager.
Note: See also Part 3 of this series: Sun Java System Access Manager and Microsoft Outlook Web Access for Exchange Server 2003.Contents
|Authentication in SharePoint
|Authorization by SharePoint
|Deployment of SharePoint Agent
|Installation and Configuration
|Appendix A: Configurations for Pre-Access Manager 7.0 Patch 5 Releases and Access Manager 7.1
|Appendix B: Configurations for OpenSSO
In a SharePoint deployment, you can configure in the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Administration Console any authentication mechanism supported by IIS. The authentication choices are Basic, Digest, Windows Integrated, and Anonymous. The current SharePoint Agent supports basic authentication only. For tighter security, you can configure basic authentication with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Basic authentication is also supported by most Web browsers.
Figure 1 shows the Authentication Methods dialog box in the IIS Administration Console. Just select "Basic authentication (password is sent in clear text)" and click OK.
In SharePoint, you configure authorization policies from its Administration Console's Manage Web Site Users screen (see Figure 2) to grant access rights to users for specific sites. The four levels of access rights are Reader, Contributor, Web Designer, and Administrator.
As an example, make Alice an Administrator for the Marketing site and a Reader for the Sales site so that she can add or edit content in the Marketing site but only read content in the Sales site. Afterward, test the configuration by going to the Marketing site. When prompted for the user name and password, fill in the fields with Alice's credentials. You'll find that not only can you read the content, but you can also, for example, upload a graphic to that site.
Now switch to the Sales site. When you attempt an upload, SharePoint blocks the task and prompts for the credentials of a user who has the rights to perform such a task, as shown in Figure 3.
The SharePoint Agent enables SSO for SharePoint with all the applications configured in Access Manager. When a user accesses SharePoint, its Agent displays an Access Manager login screen. Once authenticated, the user can access all the applications that are secured by Access Manager.
To deploy the SharePoint Agent, first configure a post-authorization plug-in,
ReplayPasswd, with Access Manager (see the next section). An encryption key is shared between Access Manager and the SharePoint Agent.
Here is what transpires behind the scenes:
ReplayPasswd encrypts the password with the shared key and stores the encrypted data in the Access Manager session, whose ID is then set in a special cookie in the form of an SSO Token ID.
You must synchronize the user passwords in the Access Manager data store with those of SharePoint. If the SharePoint user accounts are stored in Active Directory, you can configure Access Manager to use the same Active Directory as the data store and avoid having to synchronize passwords in two different LDAP servers. The SharePoint Agent also enables mapping of LDAP attributes other than
Before installing the SharePoint Agent, first configure Access Manager.
Configuring Access Manager
Important: Be sure to install Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE platform) 1.4 or a later version.
Included in Access Manager 7.0 Patch 5 onwards, except Access Manager 7.1, are
ReplayPasswd.java, a plug-in, and
DESGenKey.java, a key generator.
Note: For the procedure on how to configure the plug-in in earlier patches and generate the shared key, see Appendix A: Configurations for Pre-Access Manager 7.0 Patch 5 Releases and Access Manager 7.1.
To configure
ReplayPasswd.class as a post-authorization plug-in:
com.sun.identity.authentication.spi.ReplayPasswd (see Figure 4).
Finally, generate and add the shared key and the LDAP attribute to the
AMConfig.properties file:
lib directory in the Access Manager installation location (
/opt/SUNWam/lib by default) and execute
DESGenKey. Type:
# java com.sun.identity.common.DESGenKey
Key ==> bTGKXVs3WEk=
com.sun.am.replaypasswd.key property in the
AMConfig.properties file.
com.sun.am.replaypasswd.key = bTGKXVs3WEk=
uid is that attribute, add this line:
com.sun.am.sharepoint_login_attr_name = uid
Installing and Configuring the SharePoint Agent
bin directory of the SharePoint Agent installation. Type:
C:\>cd \Sun\Access_Manager\Agents\2.2\iis6\bin
IIS6Createconfig.vbs. Type, for example (all on one line):
C:\Sun\Access_Manager\Agents\2.2\iis6\bin>cscript IIS6CreateConfig.vbs C:\amconfig.txt
AMLDAPUSERPASSWD in the Access Manager configuration. See Figure 5 for an example.
IIS6AuthAdmin.vbs script. Type, for example, all on one line:
C:\Sun\Access_Manager\Agents\2.2\iis6\bin>cscript IIS6AuthAdmin.vbs -config C:\amconfig.txt
AMAgent.properties file. For example, add this line:
com.sun.am.replaypasswd.key = bTGKXVs3WEk=
To test the setup:
Denied HTTP 403 Forbidden error, as expected. See Figure 8.
For any release that is earlier than Access Manager 7.0 Patch 5 and for Access Manager 7.1,
ReplayPasswd.java and
DESGenKey.java are shipped separately. You must compile the two files and ensure that their class files are in Access Manager's
lib directory (
/opt/SUNWam/lib by default), as follows:
ReplayPasswd.java and
DESGenKey.java by typing (all on one line):
# javac -classpath Access_Manager_install_dir
/lib/am_services.jar: Access_Manager_install_dir
/lib/am_sdk.jar: Access_Manager_install_dir
/lib/servlet.jar ReplayPasswd.java DESGenkey.java
# javac -classpath /opt/SUNWam/lib/am_services.jar:/opt/SUNWam/lib/am_sdk.jar:
/opt/SUNWam/lib/servlet.jar ReplayPasswd.java DESGenkey.java
lib directory of the Access Manager installation and type:
# java DESGenKey
Note: On the Solaris and Linux platforms, the class files must reside in Access Manager's
lib directory; in Windows, in the
WEB-INF\classes subdirectory of Access Manager's
amserver directory.
To integrate SharePoint with OpenSSO, the open-source version of Access Manager:
java.net and deploy it in any J2EE platform-compliant servlet container.
ReplayPasswd.class as a post-authorization plug-in.
/webapp/opensso/WEB-INF/lib directory and type:
java com.sun.identity.common.DESGenKey
com.sun.am.replaypasswd.key property in the
AMConfig.properties file in the Container_installation_path
/webapp/opensso/WEB-INF/classes directory.
The SharePoint Agent does not support administration of authorization policies, which is tightly integrated with SharePoint's built-in authorization mechanism. However, through Access Manager, you can administer the authorization policies of .NET applications that rely on IIS, making for seamless interoperability between Sun and Microsoft.

BANGKOK – Thailand's political and social fabric is fraying. Indeed, the country's future looks as shaky as it has never been.
In other prosperous democracies, the middle class provides the glue that holds society together. In Thailand, by contrast, the bourgeoisie, centered in Bangkok, is barely emerging as a social and political force.
Instead, for a half-century, an unspoken social contract among four broad groups has held Thailand together: the "Palace" – a euphemism used here to avoid violating draconian lèse majesté laws; big business, the custodian of economic growth; the military, which ensures, first and foremost, the sanctity of the Palace and the moral values it represents; and the common people, mostly rural and urban poor, who accept the rule of the other three estates.
Thailand's national mythology is that it is a happy Buddhist country, a "land of smiles" bound together by compassion and harmony under the benevolent grace and blessings of the Palace and the generosity of big business. The less fortunate classes are docile, content to accept their subservient roles and satisfied with the social welfare, no matter how skimpy, provided by their betters.

Last week the Three Peaks Yacht Race kicked off in Barmouth! It is one of the oldest and most extraordinary extreme multi-sport endurance races in the world.
We thought we would write a bit about it as we received a fugitive from the storm building up during the race last Friday. At the far right in the above picture lies Driac. As the weather was forecasted to become more challenging over the weekend and the team had experienced some problems, they decided to anchor up at our pier at Eriska. Driac is a Champer & Nicholson 1930 and has an experienced team with skipper Charles Lyster, Crew members; Mr Nick Ray & Mr Vernon Gayle and Runners; Mr Stefan Fritz and Miss Julie Shaunessey.
Each year this classic sporting event combining sailing, running and cycling, challenges intrepid teams to sail from the mid-Wales coastal resort of Barmouth, up the west coast of the UK, to finish in Fort William. Teams of four or five per yacht sailed from Barmouth to Fort William, with two from each crew climbing the highest mountains of Wales, England and Scotland en route, and running the equivalent of three marathons in 3 or 4 days!
The race draws competitors from a wide variety of sporting backgrounds and sailing experience, ranging from off-shore cruising to round-the-world racing. Sailing and sports clubs, military and company teams all enter the race and compete on equal terms. The Race has attracted competitors from all over the UK, Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Eire, Norway, USA, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, South Africa, and Australia.
How the Three Peaks race came to be
H.W. (Bill) Tilman was a famous English mountaineer and explorer and known for his adventures as a climber and sailor. Living in Barmoth the inspiration behind the idea of a race was conceived by his doctor, Rob Haworth.
The actual idea of making it into a race came from Rob Haworth's partner, Dr Merfyn Jones. Sitting around the kitchen table on a cold winter's evening in 1976 Rob recounted his idea for his holidays. Merfyn heard him out and then said "wouldn't it make a marvellous race". They set out a rough map using kitchen utensils, with bottles to represent the mountains, and worked out the logistics. Merfyn spent his spring break checking out the course, a committee was formed from local people interested in sailing and Bill Tilman was invited to be the race president.
Seven teams took part in the first race in 1977, and it took those entrants just over 5 days to sail 389 miles, climb 11,000 feet and walk or run 73 miles. Unusually monohulls and multihulls raced together without handicap for the first 11 years. This year, today it is a fierce race against time.
The Ultimate Challenge
For the sailors, the Race includes many seamanship problems not normally associated with yacht races: the crossing of Caernarfon Bar, the treacherous Swellies in the Menai Straits, the rounding of the Mull of Kintyre, the whirlpools of the notorious Gulf of Corryvreckan, and finally the narrows at Corran where the ebb will stop the boat dead in the water. Thus a well found boat is needed and much meticulous planning and preparation is required for success. Yachts are not designed for rowing and to get the best out of oars, which many boats carry, special fittings are needed.
The runners, both gentlemen and ladies, include some of the finest fell runners and marathon runners in the country. Generally marathon runners don't much care for running up and down hills and fell runners are equally adverse to running on roads. The mountains present problems of their own; there is always snow on Ben Nevis, even in June; wind, rain and mist can make conditions atrocious. Added to which many have to do their running in the dark and for those who suffer from sea sickness they do not even start the runs feeling at their best. The faster the yacht sails the quicker the runs come round. For the leading boats the runners usually have to do the first two runs, 24 miles and 48 miles respectively during one 24-hour period.
In 2000, the port of Whitehaven replaced the port of Ravenglass as the port for Scafell Pike. This being further away than the previous port, bicycles are now being used for the first 15 miles to the mountain before the runners are again faced with an extra 2,000ft high mountain pass! The talents of the runners and the sailors must be combined – teamwork is really essential in this race.
The Race is a journey through much of the finest scenery in the UK. Barmouth itself lies at the mouth of the Mawddach estuary described by Wordsworth as "sublime". When leaving Whitehaven to go to Fort William (approximately 227 sea miles), the teams round the Mull of Kintyre and go into the Sound of Jura, through more beautiful scenery but with many tidal gates to negotiate. The race finishes just north of Fort William at Corpach, the entrance to the Caledonian canal where the sailing is over and skippers can relax. The runners, after checking in with the marshals, set off to the summit of Ben Nevis, finishing when they return to cross the finish line.
Being the ultimate challenge in the UK, the Three Peaks Race has spawned other 3 Peaks yacht races in other part of the world, amongst some; Australia and Hong Kong which has lead 3 Peaks yacht racing to become a genre of its own.
Do you feel like challenging yourself yet? Next year's race has already been planned to start 7th June 2014 - so you have plenty of time to prepare yourself!
