See The Redskins Cheerleaders' Final Auditions On SundayPosted by on March 31, 2011 – 5:15 pm
Final audtions for the Redskins Cheerleaders will be held this Sunday, April 3, at The State Theater in Falls Church, Virginia, and they're open to the public. Doors open at 1:00, the event starts at 2:00, general admission tickets cost $15 — you can see all the details here.
It's actually a pretty exciting event, somewhere between a beauty pageant and the final episode of a reality TV show (a comparison I made at length last year). If you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out.
(Speaking of last year's finals, the promo video above marks a nice coda to that story. Marisa, posing next to the text in the stop-screen thumbnail on the video, was the candidate I profiled last year. She's gone from a not-quite-there-yet in 2009 to a rookie last year to, now, an established face of the squad inviting you to attend this year's finals. It's like the circle of cheerleading life, or something.) Read more »

Reed Doughty Discusses Kidneys And The 3-4 With ESPN980Posted by on March 31, 2011 – 3:29 pm
Redskins safety Reed Doughty spent some time the other night talking to Redskins beat reporter Chris Russell on ESPN980. The conversation covered the spectrum, from Doughty's characteristic charity work to how the defense can improve their ranking. You can listen to it in the 980 Audio Vault (in the miscellaneous tab), but Redskins.com intern Brian Tinsman has the highlights below.
During a recent interview with Chris Russell on ESPN 980, Reed Doughty detailed his busy offseason. In addition to staying in shape for football, Doughty will be Honorary Walk Chair for this Sunday's Northern Virginia Kidney Walk at the Reston Town Center.
"The reason why I'm doing it is because my son was born with kidney disease," Doughty told Russell. "For my son, his disease was not preventable, but for so many people in the Washington DC area-which [has] the highest prevalence of kidney disease in the nation-it is preventable."
The walk will be held on April 3rd at 3 p.m. and features both one mile and 5k options. Registration is free, but participants are encouraged to raise at least $200. All benefits will go to the National Kidney Foundation.
"There's 26 million Americans affected by kidney disease and over 700,000 in the Washington DC area," Doughty explained. "We're just trying to create, obviously some donations and funds, but I'm also out there just trying to create some awareness for what causes kidney disease and how we can prevent it."
As for Doughty's son, he's enjoying a regular life after wife, Katie, was able to donate her kidney to save his life. "He's three years post-transplant and he's doing great, but he was on dialysis," Doughty said. "Obviously in regards to him having only one kidney, he's not going to be playing a whole lot of contact sports and things of that nature. But no, he's been doing great, he's been going to preschool and he's doing all of the things that kids get to do."
Doughty also took the time to talk to Russell about some football.

Keenan McCardell Does Some Self-ScoutingPosted by on March 31, 2011 – 12:50 pm
Keenan McCardell is hip-deep in his second offseason as an NFL coach, the first where he's had a full season to observe and evaluate the guys in his wide receiver group. So when he sat down with Larry Michael for an exclusive interview on Redskins Nation, it was natural that the topic of self-scouting would come up. McCardell broke down not only his own performance as a rookie coach, but also reviewed where his inexperienced wide receiver corps stands after one year.
The interview is airing in two parts on Redskins Nation; you've already seen (or missed) Part 1, and Part 2 airs on tonight's show. Or you can watch the entire thing above — and even if you read all the quotes here, there's plenty of stuff that I haven't transcribed — but for the printcentric among you, here are a few excerpts of those self-scouting sessions:
McCardell On Keenan McCardell:
"It was a great experience for me, to get a chance to learn from Kyle, Coach Shanahan, from all the coaches on our coaching staff how to b ea professional coach. I've been a professional football player, but how to be a professional coach, how to do the tasks that you need to make your guys better. You need to show guys a lot of film; you being a player, you kinda forget about how much film your coach used to bring to you to watch, to make you better. And as a player that's formerly played, you kinda think those guys should already know this, but you need to show 'em and continue to show them — the biggest thing is to show them themselves. You know, 'This is why you're making this mistake.' It was a great experience for me."
McCardell On Anthony Armstrong:
"He's a great person to coach. He's a great person, period…. I'm looking for him to make another step. People've gotta realize that this was his first year ever playing at this level. For him to make the next step, he has the want-to. I know he has the want-to in him, and it's my job to help him make the next step to get even better than what he was this year."

Draft Day Party Flashback: Trent Williams Meets The FansPosted by on March 31, 2011 – 9:42 am
The 2011 Draft Day Party is on April 30, less than a month away, and it's a good time every year. As this year's event approaches, I'll be looking back at Draft Day Parties past; meanwhile, you should go print your party pass and start making plans to hit this year's event.
First up, a scene from last year's event as newly-drated offensive lineman Trent Williams gets his first look at Redskins fans.
When new offensive tackle Trent Williams took the stage at today's Draft Day Party at FedExField, it was the first time he had seen a large gathering of Redskins fans, but not the first time he'd heard about them. His good friend (and fellow Redskin) Malcolm Kelly saw to that. "You know, Malcolm told me a lot about the fans," Williams told me. "He told me they was crazy about their football, and that — coming from Oklahoma — it was the same type of treatment. That was really important to me, comin' to an NFL team."And Redskins fans lived up the advance billing:
"I knew college fans were really die-hard, but I didn't really expect that from NFL fans. I really expect we've got the best fans in the nation."
Later, Williams was asked what the fans can expect from his tenure with the Redskins, and he answered with absolute conviction:
"Super Bowl appearances"It was, he told me after his appearance, something that he extrapolated from what Orakpo had told him before they took the stage. "He just told me that they got a great culture here, made some great offseason moves, and that we're in the position we wanna be in. He said that if I come in with that chip on my shoulder ready to play, the sky's the limit."
At that point, though, Williams hadn't so much as put on a Redskins jersey. So for a brief while, his best moment as part of the Redskins was meeting the fans at the Draft Day Party. "The ovation I got when I walked onstage," he told me at the time. "Everyone was already standing, but the ovation was amazing."

Steve Emtman With An Axe And A Redskins HelmetPosted by on March 30, 2011 – 2:20 pm
It's NFL Draft season, which means that it's time to start trotting out the stories of classic draft busts. This is the time of year when guys like Ryan Leaf, Tony Mandarich, and, yes, even Heath Shuler get dragged out of storage, have the dust blown off, and have their depressing stories re-told yet again.
Which is fortunate for me, since otherwise I wouldn't have an excuse for posting this inexplicable picture I came across while searching AP Photos for a shot of the Redskins 1992 Super Bowl parade. This is U. of Washington defensive lineman Steve Emtman, just a month or so before he became the number one overall pick for the Indianapolis Colts in the 1992 Draft, standing with an axe and a Redskins helmet. (Click to enlarge.)
The photo is particularly bizarre since Emtman wouldn't join the Redskins until 1997, and even then only for four games at the end of the season (which also marked the end of his brief career).
There's an explanation, of course: It's a portrait for his NFL ProLine Profile card and the Redskins held the sixth overall pick in that draft, so Emtman posed with the helmets of teams who might acquire him. That idea was worked into a visual metaphor in a separate batch of pictures from the Pro Line shoot — you can see one of them after the jump where Emtman appears to be fishing for a team — but out of context here, it appears to be a large man brandishing an axe and stomping on a Redskins helmet. Still, that's the kind of thing that happens during NFL Draft season.

Phil Taylor And Value In The DraftPosted by on March 30, 2011 – 12:03 pm
The second installment of our Writers Roundtable posted over at the big Redskins.com supercenter, and it finds Gary Fitzgerald, Larry Weisman, and I yet again discussing possibilities in the upcoming NFL Draft. This time around, the question starts with What should the Redskins do with the tenth pick? and ends up with me contemplating the abstract concept of value itself while the other two sort of gaze on in pitying horror.
The excerpt below features what wound up being, I think, my biggest question coming out of the conversation:
Here's my question – and this is something I really wrestled with in my mock draft earlier this week, too – why not nose tackle Phil Taylor at No. 10?
I mean, if the team believes (as I do) that they need a nose tackle, and Taylor is (as Larry points out) the only nose tackle with a first-round grade … well, he might not suit someone ELSE at 10, but it seems like you're filling a prime need with the best player at that spot. Maybe it's a few spots higher than he's "projected", but … frankly, so what?
This kind of thinking has worked out in the past – Jacksonville taking Tyson Alualu at 10 last year; the Patriots taking Logan Mankins in the first round – so why not try it here?
As always in things like this, I'm feeling a little bit of esprit d'escalier about the discussion. (That's a fancy-pants term for all the clever things you think of after the fact but didn't say at the time.) Because both Weisman and Fitzgerald seem to agree that Baylor's Taylor is a suitable pick for the Redskins, but there's a lot of question about if he's "worth" the 10th pick — and I don't know that I successfuly explained why that idea of "worth" is meaningless here. So let me give it a shot now:

Cricket And The 1992 Super Bowl CelebrationPosted by on March 30, 2011 – 9:44 am
It's a cricket kind of day, which is something I never really thought would happen here. I know that cricket is insanely popular globally; I know that as soon as the weather turns nice, kids from families of South Asian heritage start playing street cricket in my neighborhood; I know that cricket provided a nice backdrop to part of the closing triptych of Sports Night's first season. But that's really about it, and I never expected to see the day that cricket dominated the front page of ESPN.com as it does for today's India/Pakistan tilt.
Sure, it's just a top story about cricket and the scoreboard up top defaulting to cricket, but — by cricket standards — that's the equivalent of ESPN renaming itself cricketnet.com for the day. So, yes, this is an Important Cricket Match. And, like all capital-I Important sporting events, it was preceded by a few articles really pumping up it's Importance.
Which is where the Redskins connection comes in. Read more »

N.Y. Times Looks Back At Redskins During The Strike SeasonsPosted by on March 29, 2011 – 3:25 pm
Over at the New York Times today, there's a nifty look back at how the Redskins emerged from two NFL work stoppages with Super Bowl championships. There are anecdotes from George Starke, recollections from Monte Coleman, Mark May, and Todd Bowles, and lots of stuff like this:
The seeds for the Redskins' strategy were sown during the 1974 work stoppage. Starke said players worked out together in Georgetown then, where Coach George Allen would sneak over to supervise, or to hand out workout schedules.
With that in mind, the Redskins were built to withstand the 1982 strike. They played in a strong, pro-union area, and thus became a strong, pro-union team. They leaned on veterans like Starke, quarterback Joe Theismann and linebacker Monte Coleman, who said: "We weren't all marquee players. So we had to band together."
Very much worth reading.
(That's Jay Schroeder in the shorts and Nike Airs in the AP Photo above. Man, I thought the bubble in those shoes was the coolest thing ever at the time.)

Video From Redskins Cheerleaders In IraqPosted by on March 29, 2011 – 12:24 pm
Late last week, I posted some video shot by the Redskins cheerleaders during their trip to Kuwait. In last night's Nightly News, we got to see the next step in their tour as they visited with troops in Iraq. (It starts with a brief update from Larry Michael about the compensatory draft pick, but I promise it's the correct video.)

I'm planning a visit to Punta Cana at the end of June ... I was wondering about the snakes of the Dominican Republic. Are there any posionous snakes?
I'm planning a visit to Punta Cana at the end of June ... I was wondering about the snakes of the Dominican Republic. Are there any posionous snakes?
Yes a lot....., Cobra's, Phyton, Anaconda we have all of them...
Are you serious? Are they found in the resort areas ... in the south ... Punta Cana?
There are no poisonous snakes on the island. Don't know why but that is so.
There are some constrictor-type snakes, which can grow large, but i really doubt thatyou will ever see any. in my banana farms, we used too have little green snakes that the guys would kill, but i showed them that they were harmless-much to their surprise that i would even touch one!! The only negative thing about it was that they stunk!! As bas as a skunk!
So don't worry about htem. Go and enjoy.
Thank you Hillbilly ... I was a bit worried.
Not, thanks to god, in the in this island only some politicians have arsenic in they tongues...and the small, friendly ones we have here is difficult to meet you in tha area.
Like Hillbilly said, there are no dangerous snakes in this country! We do have various kinds of Boas, but they are very rarely found in houses! (As you may know, Boas are harmless!)
The other snakes are just as innocent!
You may find (If you are realy looking in the bush) some wolfspiders, which could throw you some irritating hair from their abdomen or a scorpion or two which may sting as a bee!
But if you stay in the Area of the Hotels, there is everything clean and it is very hard, to find something like the above!
Enjoy your stay!
I was about ready to believe Mr. Oberon. I lived in the D.R. most of my life and never saw snakes, except for tiny green ones in the woods, which scared the angels out of me. Nevertheless, when I came to Louisiana I was told about all the poisonous snakes here and I'm still frightning of the thought of them, even though I have not had the bad experience of being surprised by one yet.
Good luck to you JoAnn. Enjoy your trip!
Thanks so much you guys ... for the giggle as well as the information ... I feel much better about visiting the D.R. now .. I hear it's absolutely beautiful. Thanks again.
Mi papa trabajo' en un trabajo de disen~o de tuberias para Monsanto en el 1979. Vivimos por un an~o en St. Charles parish (creo que todavia le llaman parish a lo que se llama aqui en Virginia condado, no?) y alli empece a aprender ingles, en ese tiempo solo tenia diez an~os y tengo muchas gratas memorias de ese estado y la ciudad de Nueva Orleans. El el 1980 regresamos a SD y perdi' bastante el ingles que habia adquirido. Lamentablemente nunca visitamos a Baton Rouge, pero a mi papa' se le pego' la "fiebre" de manejar casi todos los fines de semana a un sitio diferente: Mobile, Alabama, Missisippi, el golfo de Texas. Te puedes imaginar? Dominicanos guiando por todo el "deep South" de los EEUU sin saber mucho ingles? A site to be seen, LOL!
A proposito, la primera culebra que vi en mi vida fue en Louisiana, en el patio de la casa que rentabamos. Mi mama' JAMAS quiso pisar el patio de nuevo, LOL.

Juno Temple gets dirty in trailer for DIRTY GIRL
Here is the trailer for Dirty Girl from writer/director Abe Sylvia. The film stars Juno Temple, Milla Jovovich, William H. Macy, Mary Steenburgen, Dwight Yoakam and Jeremy Dozier.
The film tells the story of Danielle (Temple), "the dirty girl of Norman High School in Norman, Oklahoma, circa 1987. When Danielle's misbehavior gets her banished to a remedial class, she is paired on a parenting project with Clarke (Dozier), an innocent closet-case with no friends. Danielle is determined to get to California to find the father she's never met, and Clarke is desperate to escape being sent to military school by his homophobic dad. Together, the mismatched misfits light out for California, and discover each other and themselves through a funny and serendipitous friendship."
Dirty Girl arrives in theaters on October 7.

Many women may be failing to report rape because of a lack of faith in the legal system as well as concerns that they will not be supported through the process, from the initial reporting of a rape to police, right through to court proceedings.
That's according to a study released today by Reveal and supported by Rape Crisis which surveyed women in the UK on the topic.
The survey saw 16% of those surveyed say they have had sex against their will either with someone they know or a stranger, however 78% of those did not report it to the police.
Reasons ranged from being scared about what people would think of them (20%), a third feeling that no one would believe them and almost half because it was someone they know.
However, more than a quarter said they didn't think there was a strong chance of prosecution, while almost one in five didn't think there was enough support from the legal system to get them through it.
Latest figures from the Ministry of Justice, The Home Office and ONS show that there were an estimated 60,000-95,000 incidences of rape on average in the last three years, of those only 15,670 were reported to police, only 2,910 rape cases went to court, with only 1,070 rape cases resulting in prosecution.
However, 86% of those surveyed believe that if there were more independent female advisors to guide and support rape survivors from beginning to end more women would come forward.
Also of concern was the fact that 31% of women believe there are varying degrees of rape. A third don't believe it is rape if a woman doesn't fight back, while more than a quarter don't believe it is if a woman is drunk and almost 60% if a woman doesn't say no.
As part of the campaign Reveal are calling on the government to appoint more funding for ISVAs (Independent Sexual Violence Advisors) who support rape victims through the justice system. To sign the petition please click here.

Help has anyone else had the same issue? My husband and I havent been able to conceive for 7 years without fertility help. For the last year I have gotten rid of a huge cyst in my uterus that caused many problems. I also started using chlomid for the last 6 months. At the 2nd stage of taking chlomid I was taking a double dosage. My doctor saw 4 eggs ready to be fertilized in an ultrasound. After seeing that he gave me a shot of HCG. After 2 weeks of waiting we took a HPT and it was positive. We went for an ultrasound at maybe 6 weeks and saw no heartbeat. I then changed my OBGYN for oher reasons and at my 10 week ultrasound we saw that the egg had not grown and there was no heartbeat. Needless to say I was devastated. I have a few appts to do some tests in the next few days. I just hope and pray that my new doctor can help us find out what is wrong. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Thanks in advance.

It appears WINGS Seminars, based in Eugene and facilitating personal development seminars and related training for more than 25 years, will be shutting down soon, or evolving. Founder and President Kris King has not made a formal statement, but she has used social media to tell her community that she conducted her last Personal Effectiveness Seminar (PES) in Sacramento in late November. King and her office manager did not respond to an EW request for comment by press time.
Update: For coverage of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce endorsement vote, see our blog's "The story behind the chamber of commerce vote to privatize Kesey Square."
Some readers call us Eugene Weedly thanks to our pot ads, so it's no surprise EW has gotten calls from other media wondering if a recent U.S. Postal Service (USPS) notice about pot advertisements will affect the paper.
On Nov. 27, the Portland district of the USPS gave the Chinook Observer, a small coastal newspaper in Longview, Washington, a warning that if a "mailpiece" contains ads for marijuana, it is "nonmailable." The Observer is published by EO Media Group, which also publishes papers in Oregon.
There's a growing list of names for downtown Eugene's houseless population, and the word "travelers" is the latest description. The houseless and their advocates say that identifying the unhoused as travelers is a distraction from the real problem.
"I think that's the denial that every community has," says Sue Sierralupe, Occupy Medical clinic manager, "that these are strangers."
• The challenges facing bees is the topic at City Club of Eugene at noon Friday, Dec. 4, at the Downtown Athletic Club. Speakers include Ramesh Sagili of OSU, Aimee Code of the Xerces Society for Invetebrate Conservation, and Jen Hornaday of Healthy Bees = Healthy Gardens. $5 for non-members. The following week, Dec. 11, City Club will hold its annual "Gifts to the City" program with various speakers. See cityclubofeuegene.org.
• One of the pleasures of the holidays in Eugene is our chance to visit the studios and homes of talented artists. That includes potter Faith Rahill whose holiday studio sale runs from 5 to 8 pm Friday, Dec. 4, at 2581 Monroe Street; potter Ken Stanhardt whose home studio sale is from 5 to 8 pm Friday, Dec. 4, at 55 W. 27th Ave.; jeweler Hannah Goldrich and painter Mike Pease who open the Pease home for their annual show and sale from 11 am to 4 pm Saturday, Dec. 5, at 768 W. 10th Ave.; plus so many others listed in our Calendar. Enjoy.
The rolling hills of the King Estate vineyards and winery south of Eugene on Territorial Road have become a magnet for birds of all kinds, from migrating songbirds to raptors, that breed, rest and feed on its sprawling acres, but some birds have been crashing into the big windows at the pavilion building.
Students at UO rallied Nov. 30 in response to the backlash aimed at Syrian refugees. More than four million Syrians, three-quarters of them women and children according to the U.N., are fleeing civil war in that country.
In the wake of the Nov. 13 Paris attacks that killed 130, at least 24 U.S. governors have said they would refuse to cooperate with federal efforts to resettle refugees, citing security concerns. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown was not one of them.
As the debate about Kesey Square's future heats up, voices in favor of keeping the space public downtown are coming to the forefront, from a business on the square to community meetings sprouting up. The outcry was prompted by a proposal City Manager Jon Ruiz passed on to the Eugene City Council this fall from private developers who want to purchase Kesey Square and build apartments in its place, with retail on the ground floor.

• The Global People's Climate March is happening around the world and the local event begins at 2 pm Saturday, Nov. 28 at the corner of 7th and Pearl, then at 2:20 will be a family-friendly march over Ferry Street Bridge or the DeFazio Footbridge to Alton Baker Park. Participants are asked to wear yellow. Organizer Mary DeMocker says that around 3 pm, "we'll make a video for world leaders and Gov. Kate Brown of hundreds of us transitioning from a huge oil drip formation to a giant living sun." The gathering is in anticipation of the U.N.
Chef Brendan Mahaney sold his popular Eugene restaurant, Belly, to new owners in September, but he already has plans to open another place.
"I'm dreaming of a casual, New Orleans-style restaurant," he says.
Contrary to rumors, Mahaney says his choice to sell Belly was "bittersweet," but not made for any dramatic reason.
The Kesey Square saga continues: The city of Eugene announced it will issue a "request for expression of interest" (RFEI) for the Kesey Square parcel at Willamette and Broadway, but has not put out an actual decision to sell the square to a public process.
In an email to Mayor Kitty Piercy and the City Council sent Nov. 18, Assistant City Manager Sarah Medary says that city staff is currently "drafting a request for expression of interest, which will more formally ask if there is other viable private interest in redeveloping the parcel."
Eugene Mayor Kitty Piercy signed on to a West Coast-wide petition Nov. 21 that calls for politicians to halt all new adoption of fossil fuel infrastructure. Using the political momentum behind the Portland City Council's landmark Nov. 12 vote to ban any new fossil fuel infrastructure in that city, the Sustainable Energy and Economy Network (SEEN) is hitting up mayors in Seattle, San Francisco, Vancouver B.C. and other cities from California to Canada sign the petition.
After all the anticipatory hubbub over the Young American's for Liberty Nov. 20 Liberty Poker Night at UO's Erb Memorial Union — during which the YAL's local chapter was denied event funding by the UO student government — the tournament itself was a surprisingly tame event. Among the predominantly male crowd, not a single protester appeared.
A member of a homeless family that includes a three-month-old baby, says they were ordered out of their illegally parked family van by Eugene police officers on a cold night Nov. 19, and told their van would be towed.
• "Growing our Local Food Economy Part II" is the topic at City Club of Eugene noon Friday, Nov. 20, at the Downtown Athletic Club, 999 Willamette. This program looks at "exploring mixed-use land use for the food industry" and speakers include Jason Lafferty, Shawn Donnille, Terri Harding and Melissa Fery. One issue to be discussed is the city's proposed expansion of the urban growth boundary to create industrial lands — which could be used for food processing facilities.
Since the day Brian Babb was shot by a member of the Eugene Police Department, the veteran's family has questioned the events and policies that led to Babb's death.
However, Eugene's police auditor Mark Gissiner says a flawed report by the Lane County Interagency Deadly Force Investigation Team (IDFIT) means the family still doesn't have closure, and indicates to Gissiner that the way deadly force investigations are handled in Lane County needs a number of improvements.
Downtown merchants in Eugene are getting a head start on the holidays with a number of events before Thanksgiving, including a tree-lighting ceremony and entertainment from 5:15 to 6:30 pm Friday, Nov. 20, on the east Park Blocks. Many downtown shops will remain open until 8 pm.

I did this route on Thanksgiving night. In the dark I couldn't tell which summit was higher, so I accidentally climbed up the left one. Some pretty wild unprotected full body bridging gets you there. I was pretty dissapointed to discover that there were no anchors, and I had to reverse the last 30 ft of chimney to get back on route. Moral of the story, don't climb with a stomach full of turkey and wine. What's up with all the old bolts next to cracks? This felt like it would have been a fun route if it were 20 degrees warmer.

|Pretty much a sport route. Make sure to bring some smaller stoppers for hangers on a few bolts, also a tcu or two is comforting. As of 2-17-2011 last bolt needs a nut, 1/2" maybe? Also, barely grade I, but fun!

|quite a few hangerless bolts, rack up with some small nuts on quickdraws for slining bolts. The one piece i actually placed was a .75. YMMV.

I actually found this route to be a lot of fun! I took 2 beginners and one non-climber up it and we had a great time. The summit feels more like the top of an actual tower than a lot of other Sedona "towers."
Still missing a few hangers but most of the bolts are unnecessary anyway. I also only placed one piece (.75) and clipped the bolts.
Anchor is solid but could use some nice camouflaged chain instead of the current bright webbing considering that the area could not be more high profile.

|Scrambly class-4 approach up the deep west gully. After the little walking traverse, can safely simul up the limestone band and belay from two bolts at base of crack. Lower section is sandy 5.7, upper section (diagonal right) culminates with an exciting 5.8 roof pull. Bring several nuts because the bolts are hangerless. Adding in some traditional gear placements makes this a totally secure route to an iconic summit.

|A 1-star route with a 4-star summit. If you have a FULL 70m rope, you can rap straight down to where the hikers usually top out and then take the hiker's route down. Leave your bags on the ledge beneath the summit so you can grab them on the rap down. That way you don't have to downclimb the chimney and slab you did on the approach.

text: Submitted by Christine on Wed, 10/24/2012 - 2:21pm Things to do in CT With Kids This Weekend: October 27-28As a kid, I remember pulling on my costume for the first time on Halloween each year. Halloween was filled with dress up, candy and a huge carved jack-o-lantern on our front porch. My kids have a very different experience with this holiday. Usually by the time October 31st rolls around they've already worn their costumes half a dozen times at various events and parties. Our front porch is adorned with an army of pumpkins and other decorations. What was for me a one day event has for my children become a month-long extravaganza. As we enter the last weekend before Halloween we have tons of opportunities for your kids to dress up, collect candy, make crafts and have fun. And best of all - many of them are FREE! Our posts on Halloween Happenings and Parades in Fairfield County and Haunted Houses in Hartford County are a good place to start when looking for something to do this weekend. And of course our CT Kids Halloween and Fall Fun Guide has so much info as well. On Friday evening take a 45 minute walk along a path of 1,000 luminaries while listening to creepy historic tales at the free Washington Green Cemetery Tour. Bridgeport hosts it's 3rd Annual Boo Bash, where kids can play games, make crafts and enjoy treats. The lucky winner of the costume contest will win a gift certificate to Gumdrop Swap Children's and Maternity Boutique. Do your kids like super heroes? There will be multiple Marvel Comics Operation Green shows at the Maritime Center this weekend. Be sure to purchase your tickets online because similar shows sold out last year. Head to Danbury for Halloween on the Green. Wear your costumes to this free event for magic, goodie bags and a costume parade. Bring your pumpkins to be judged at the Halloween Festival at the Southington Drive-In. Dress in costume and enjoy music, face painting, a haunted hayride and more. Scary movies will be shown in the evening. Enjoy nature this weekend at the Fall Bird Walk in Hammonasset State Park or the Woodpecker Walk at Greenwich Audubon. Audubon Kids Day in Sharon is a fun-filled family event offering nature themed games and crafts, a petting zoo and a special performance following the costume parade. At the Full Moon Family Hike at New Milford's Pratt Nature Center families can take a free hike and then warm up as they roast marshmallows over the campfire. Or take your own family hike at one of the locations listed in our post on Hiking With the Family in Hartford County. Visit the Hartford Hodge Podge Open Market on Sunday. Now through November 19th you'll find vendors, artists, musicians and food at this open air market with no charge for admission. Visit our event calendar for more activities.

Ranking the Weekday Series: Tigers-Orioles showdown coming
Let's take a look at what's in store for us this coming week. At the top? First-place battles between the Tigers-Orioles and Braves-Giants.
More MLB: Power Rankings | Expert Picks | Latest news & notes | Fantasy news
We're heading into another week of action in major league baseball, which means it's time to look to the Hoagie Scale to see which series are most worthy of our consumption. Dig in.
Detroit Tigers
Baltimore Orioles
Monday: Rick Porcello (5-1) vs. Bud Norris (2-2)
Tuesday: Drew Smyly (2-2) vs. Ubaldo Jimenez (2-4)
Wednesday: Justin Verlander (4-2) vs. Wei-Yin Chen (4-2)
A pair of first-place teams squaring off here, one at least a mild surprise and the other not even a bit surprising.
The Tigers were the hottest team in baseball, but just lost a series to the Twins. Still, they have the best record in the AL and might well be the best team.
On the Orioles, we've seen this before, haven't we? They have a negative run differential, but thanks to a 9-3 record in one-run games they sit five games above .500 with a lot of people outside Baltimore questioning how good they actually are. They thrived in the face of this narrative in 2012, so we know it's possible to keep it going for an entire season. The Tigers mark a big test -- at least considering that in mid-May, no test is really that "big."
Keep an eye on Jimenez on Tuesday. He had a 6.92 ERA in three starts against the Tigers last season. Twice he didn't even make it past four innings.
Also, the 2013 AL MVP and the third-place finisher in that same vote are both here. Fun times.
Atlanta Braves
San Francisco Giants
Monday: Gavin Floyd (0-0) vs. Tim Lincecum (2-2)
Tuesday: Mike Minor (0-2) vs. Ryan Vogelsong (1-1)
Wednesday: Julio Teheran (2-2) vs. Madison Bumgarner (4-3)
First place vs. first place, part two. Last time we wrote about this series, it was played in Atlanta and the visiting Giants swept the Braves. That was part of a seven-game losing streak by the Braves in which they were having trouble scoring runs.
Well, the Braves are still having trouble scoring runs for the most part, but they come in having won four of five. Yes, it was the lowly Cubs that they just swept at home, so the question remains whether or not Atlanta has worked out its issues. Playing three in San Francisco should give us a clue.
The Giants are riding high, too. They just took three of four from the Dodgers in LA and have gone 13-4 since a rough patch in mid-to-late April. A pretty powerful signal could be sent to the rest of the NL with another sweep here.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Milwaukee Brewers
Tuesday: Gerrit Cole (3-2) vs. Marco Estrada (2-1)
Wednesday: Francisco Liriano (0-3) vs. Wily Peralta (4-2)
Thursday: Wandy Rodriguez (0-2) vs. Yovani Gallardo (2-2)
First things first, this is the matchup that brought us the fight a few weeks back. Remember?
And wouldn't you know it that fate would give us Cole on the mound in the first game. The battle between him and Carlos Gomez should be fun.
This is also a good one because of the NL Central implications. The Pirates started off terribly but are showing signs of life, having won six of their past nine. The Brewers still have a comfortable lead in the Central, but have lost seven of their past 11 and are dealing with some important injuries.
This will be a fun series.
Chicago White Sox
Oakland Athletics
Monday: John Danks (3-2) vs. Jesse Chavez (2-1)
Tuesday: Scott Carroll (1-2) vs. Drew Pomeranz (2-1)
Wednesday: Andre Rienzo (3-0) vs. Tommy Milone (1-3)
The White Sox have been one of the more exciting teams in baseball to this point, but they haven't been able to really break through. They also don't have a winning record against any team that is currently above .500. With that in mind, having to deal with the second-best team in the AL (by record) on the road marks a substantial test for the young White Sox.
The A's, meanwhile, were struggling but have now won four in a row and just outscored the Nationals 21-4 in a three-game sweep. So they're fine.
New York Mets
New York Yankees
Monday: Bartolo Colon (2-5) vs. Hiroki Kuroda (2-3)
Tuesday: Zack Wheeler (1-3) vs. Vidal Nuno (1-0)
Wednesday: Jenrry Mejia (3-0) vs. Masahiro Tanaka (5-0)
Thursday: Dillon Gee (3-1) vs. TBD (probably Alfredo Aceves )
It's a 19-17 second-place team against a 17-19 team that is tied for last place. The Mets enter the series having lost eight of their past 10 while the Yankees limp in with a patchwork starting rotation.
Still, it's a Subway Series, so that's always something worth watching.
Curtis Granderson had an awful April with the Mets, but he has been hitting much better in May and now faces his former team.
Also: Masahiro Tanaka still hasn't taken a regular-season loss since 2012. Remember, he was 24-0 last season in NPB. I'm guessing the Mets would love to break things up there.
Colorado Rockies
Kansas City Royals
Tuesday: Franklin Morales (3-2) vs. James Shields (4-3)
Wednesday: Jhoulys Chacin (0-1) vs. Jason Vargas (3-1)
The Rockies are coming off their first series loss since April 11-13, so it'll be interesting to see how they react. I know one thing, they'll be a bit more fresh Tuesday than they have been of late, because Monday will mark their first day off since April 24.
The Royals come back home after a 4-3 West Coast swing concluded with a big come-from-behind victory in which they hit two home runs in a game for the third time this season. Speaking of which ...
Fun secondary storyline: This matchup pits the MLB team leader in home runs against the team that ranks last in home runs. In fact, Troy Tulowitzki and Charlie Blackmon alone have combined for four more home runs than the entire Royals team.
Miami Marlins
Los Angeles Dodgers
Monday: Tom Koehler (3-2) vs. Dan Haren (4-1)
Tuesday: Jacob Turner (0-0) vs. Josh Beckett (0-1)
Wednesday: Jose Fernandez (4-2) vs. Paul Maholm (1-3)
After an extended hot streak at home, the Marlins are still over .500 and within striking distance in the NL East. They need to prove they can win away from home, though, and they're coming off losing three of four to the Padres. The Fish are now 3-13 on the road and have seven more games before they return home.
The Dodgers need something to right the ship. They've lost seven of 10. It was just over a week ago that they lost two of three to the Marlins, but that was in Miami. Might the road Marlins be what Donnie Baseball and his troops need?
If not, they have some serious early season problems. Again.
Los Angeles Angels
Philadelphia Phillies
Tuesday: Matt Shoemaker (0-1) vs. Cliff Lee (3-3)
Wednesday: Garrett Richards (3-0) vs. A.J. Burnett (2-2)
Just a quick two-gamer here that doesn't have a ton of intrigue. The Angels are pretty talented and are hanging around in the AL West. In fact, entering Monday (when they have one more game against the Blue Jays and are going for a four-game sweep), they're two games over .500 for the first time since 2012.
There's also this: Mike Trout grew up (kind of) near Philadelphia but has never played a big-league game in Philly. He's also 4 for 34 with 12 strikeouts so far in May. Will a trip back "home" help him get things back on track?
On the Phillies side, only 15 of their 36 games this season have come at home, but they're 6-9 at home. It's not quite the drastic split we'll see below (Arizona section), but they're bound to start playing better at home, right?
Tampa Bay Rays
Seattle Mariners
Monday: Cesar Ramos (1-1) vs. Felix Hernandez (3-1)
Tuesday: David Price (3-3) vs. Hisashi Iwakuma (2-0)
Wednesday: Jake Odorizzi (1-3) vs. Brandon Maurer (1-1)
The Rays are in the midst of a real bad stretch and are just 16-22 overall, despite entering the season with high expectations. We've seen them struggle before only to turn things around, but they were never six games under .500 last season.
The Mariners, meanwhile, have gone five series without losing one and sit within striking distance in the very competitive AL West. So, perhaps unbelievably, the Mariners would be the prohibitive favorite here over the Rays. Talk about a role reversal.
Of note: King Felix has been struggling and is actually coming off just the third outing of his career where he didn't record a strikeout. The last time it happened was all the way back in 2008.
Boston Red Sox
Minnesota Twins
Tuesday: Felix Doubront (1-3) vs. Ricky Nolasco (2-3)
Wednesday: Jake Peavy (1-1) vs. Kevin Correia (1-4)
Thursday: Clay Buchholz (2-3) vs. Phil Hughes (4-1)
The Red Sox come into this series with a winning record for the first time since April 3, when they were 2-1. They've won six of their past eight and are starting to resemble the team many picked to repeat as AL East champs.
They shouldn't take the Twins lightly, though, because Minnesota just took a series from the red-hot Tigers.
Something to watch: Hughes has been very good lately, but the Red Sox crushed him the two times he faced them last season. Can he turn the tide?
Cleveland Indians
Toronto Blue Jays
Tuesday: Danny Salazar (1-3) vs. R.A. Dickey (3-3)
Wednesday: Justin Masterson (2-1) vs. Dustin McGowan (2-1)
Thursday: Corey Kluber (3-3) vs. J.A. Happ (1-1)
Here we go again? The Indians were one of the most streaky teams in baseball last year -- as I've mentioned several times before -- both good and bad. After starting 11-17 this season, they've now won seven of their past 10.
Can Carlos Santana get it going? He entered Sunday mired in a 1-for-28 slump, but was able to go 2 for 3 with a double.
Speaking of streaky, the Blue Jays swept the Phillies in four games but have lost three straight to the Angels.
Something to watch for the series opener: R.A. Dickey leads the majors in walks while the Indians are going best when they're among the most patient teams in the league, as they were last season. They would be advised to take a strike.
Washington Nationals
Arizona Diamondbacks
Monday: Jordan Zimmermann (2-1) vs. Josh Collmenter (1-2)
Tuesday: Stephen Strasburg (3-2) vs. Bronson Arroyo (3-2)
Wednesday: Doug Fister (0-1) vs. Brandon McCarthy (1-6)
Get this: The Diamondbacks have won three straight series and are 6-3 in May. That all happened on the road, though, where the D-Backs are 12-10 on the season. They're 3-15 in home games (0-2 in Australia, 3-13 in Chase Field). What gives there? Have they been that scarred by the Dodgers/pool incident?
I kid, I kid. But it will be worth watching to see how Arizona plays back at home.
The Nationals, meanwhile, are coming off getting embarrassed in Oakland. They've handled bad teams pretty well thus far in 2014, but are the D-Backs actually bad right now?
Chicago Cubs
St. Louis Cardinals
Monday: Travis Wood (2-4) vs. Tyler Lyons (0-2)
Tuesday: Jake Arrieta (0-0) vs. Adam Wainwright (6-2)
Wednesday: Jason Hammel (4-1) vs. Michael Wacha (2-3)
Thursday: Jeff Samardzija (0-3) vs. Lance Lynn (4-2)
With the Cardinals being nothing more than mediocre overall this season -- and failing thus far to live up to lofty expectations -- and facing off against the worst team in the NL, this isn't an overly enticing series. It's saved from slider status for two reasons, though.
First of all, it's one of baseball's biggest rivalries. No matter the quality of the two teams, the history makes it at least mildly interesting.
Secondly, the Cubs took two of three from the Cardinals last week with the Cubs beating both Wainwright and Wacha, so the St. Louis fans surely want payback here.
San Diego Padres
Cincinnati Reds
Tuesday: Andrew Cashner (2-5) vs. Mike Leake (2-3)
Wednesday: Ian Kennedy (2-4) vs. Johnny Cueto (3-2)
Thursday: Tyson Ross (4-3) vs. Alfredo Simon (4-2)
Both teams can potentially play better than their current records indicate and I think at least the Reds are a good bet to do so. Neither has been able to play well for extended stretches, though, and the bottom line is the two clubs are multiple games under .500 coming in.
Keep an eye on Wednesday, because the Padres have been one of baseball's least imposing offenses for most of the season while Cueto has the best ERA, WHIP and hit rate in all of baseball.
Texas Rangers
Houston Astros
Monday: Colby Lewis (2-2) vs. Brad Peacock (0-3)
Tuesday: Matt Harrison (1-0) vs. Dallas Keuchel (3-2)
Wednesday: Nick Tepesch (0-0) vs. Scott Feldman (2-1)
The worst team in baseball against a Rangers team that has lost 10 of its past 14 games. Yuck. We don't even get to see Yu Darvish go for a no-hitter, as he has been pushed back to Friday as part of their rotation scramble in the wake of Martin Perez elbow injury. There won't be many people outside Texas watching this one.

Ohio governor proposes academic credits for vets
Tue, 25 Feb 2014 12:38:22 GMT —
MEDINA, Ohio (AP) - Ohio Gov. John Kasich (KAY'-sik) has announced a plan to give free academic credits to veterans for the training and experience they received during military service.
Kasich says the training veterans received from the Armed Forces has prepared them for many of Ohio's most in-demand jobs.
Kasich announced the plan during his State of the State speech Monday as he said veterans deserve thanks for the sacrifices they've made as they re-enter civilian life.
Kasich says those who have driven a truck from Kabul to Kandahar have earned the right to drive a truck from Cleveland to Columbus.

Mountain Jam 2013: 9 Things We Learned at This Year's Festival
Some music sites might cancel festival plans because of inclement weather, but at Diffuser.fm, we literally embrace the crud out of it. When we piled into our VW Bus (or you know, '97 Accord) and headed to Hunter, N.Y., for this weekend's Mountain Jam 2013 festival, we knew we were in for some rain and mud. But as Neil Young might say, we didn't let it bring us down. Instead, we let loose, rolled up our pant legs, chatted with some cool peeps and heard some incredible music. We also interviewed the fine folks in Elijah & the Moon, the Avett Brothers, Deer Tick and the Lumineers — all of whom are princes.
Now that Mountain Jam has come to an end, we're looking back, taking stock and mulling the weekend's myriad lessons. Below are 9 Things We Learned at Mountain Jam 2013. Next year, we'll be a little older and wiser, but that won't stop us from playing in the muck.

Clark Says No 23rd Century In Upcoming Pocket BooksBy Michelle
October 25, 2007 - 9:30 PM
Upcoming post-Nemesis Star Trek novels will focus on the rebuilding of Starfleet and the Federation, Pocket Books editor Margaret Clark said in an interview.
"The idea is that the Enterprise has recovered from its battle with Shinzon in Nemesis, and we have to deal with what the Federation is right now," Clark told Star Trek Magazine (via TrekWeb). "Starfleet is still rebuilding from the Dominion War where so many officers were lost, so many people devastated and so many ships destroyed that we have a fleet that is fighting under-strength. But luckily the Romulan threat is slightly reduced...it's a rebuilding period for Starfleet and the Federation, and hopefully a period of going back to exploration."
Clark added that Next Generation books would focus on Picard's concerns that he would never be free of the Borg and the plans concocted by Picard and Admiral Janeway to try to stop them, "but the Borg keep flipping the rules!" The books, she added, will all be set in the 24th century: "We have made a conscious decision in 2008 to stay away from the 23rd Century," allowing the producers of the upcoming Star Trek film to explore that period.
TrekWeb also has a review of The Academy Collision Course, the latest novel by William Shatner, which focuses on Kirk and Spock's first meeting. "The pretty cover does not illustrate the travesty of prose that is to follow," wrote reviewer Jeff Ayers.
Ayers called the storyline "totally ludicrous from the start" and said that the climax of the story "goes so over the top and is so unbelievable that the reader is left laughing with the sheer lunacy", in particular Starfleet's recruitment methods. The book received only one star out of four as a work of Star Trek fiction.

Is this weird? I'm about to blog about a slipcover.
After countless arguments about why I felt like we needed a new couch (I lost by the way), we decided that getting a new couch was NOT in our budget. I pouted for an entire day and stared at my old couch and cussed at it and critiqued it like crazy. It's a micro suede couch that was actually really nice back in it's prime. But micro suede gets weird water stain marks and the only way to fix it is to scrub or shampoo the entire couch. And it's such a job. Plus the arms have this weird grayish tone in all the stitching and it just looks bad and I hate hate HATE it.
Today I went out and got a slipcover. How easy was that?! I had been throwing sheets and blankets over it to protect it but really it just looked worse. The slip cover I got was from Target and around a hundred bucks (UM WHAT? IT'S JUST FABRIC) but it's freaking amazing because it's super tight and stretchy. When you get up from sitting on it, it just stays the way it's supposed to. I've had slip covers that I was constantly adjusting. They can make your couch look worse.
So anyway, I'm just so stoked about my slipcover that I actually thought I'd blog about it. Because it's so great. Here's more information on it if you're interested in getting one too.

Ratings for Dr. Christopher Cannova
I had my right knee replaced after at least 2 years of seeking out all the highest rated surgeons. Dr. Cannova is by far the best educated experienced and knows his field. He is low key but does not sell you a line he doesn't need to he has people lining up for his work. I was extremly cautious and I found him to be exactly the right doctor for me. I would go back to him if I ever need any surgery on my knees in a heartbeat. He is the best around. You may have to wait but I would rather wait for the best then just walk in for an amatuer who is about to cut my body open. He is worth the wait.
Dr. Cannova is excellent, but dealing with the office is not so pleasant. While the staff is nice enough, they are not organized to give the patient a good experience. It is hard to get through on the phone, and I have waited, either in the waiting room or in the exam rooms, for up to an hour. I have always waited at least 20 minutes. We can all understand emergencies, but this is my consistent experience. If you have plenty of time and patience, the care is worth the wait.
Little consultation or discussion and no follow-up phone call. I waited more than an hour to see Dr. Cannova. He spent all of 5 minutes with me. I needed a hip replacement and he was a referral. I also chose him because he lists the anterior approach (minimally invasive, from the front) as one his specialties. When he finally saw me, he showed me my X Rays, told me he uses ceramic parts, and asked when I wanted surgery. I said ASAP and he sent me to see his surgery coordinator. She took my info and gave me a 100 page booklet about the surgery and rehab. After returning home, I read the information and discovered that he scheduled me for the posterior approach (from the rear, long recovery period). I called and talked to the surgery coordinator and said I didn't want this type surgery. She said she would have Dr. Cannova call me in a couple of days. He didn't (it's been several weeks now, still no call), so I cancelled my surgery and took my body and money elsewhere.
I had hip replacement surgery with Dr. Cannova. My recovery was incredibly quick with almost no pain. I would recommend him to anyone of my friends or family.
Dr. Cannova performed a total hip replacement in November 2009 after diagnosis of avascular necrosis. Had minimal debilitation from the surgery and spectacularly quick recovery. Cannova is very low key but just a couple years out of residency from the top NYC orthopedic hospital. He does the posterior incision which is better for patient recovery. Nurses and PTs at Suburban all sang his praises. I couldn't be happier -- so lucky I found him listed here. Other patients at physical therapy told me he is also gifted at knee replacement surgery.
Dr. Cannova replaced both my knees at one time and I had little, if any pain or motion problems. He is receptive to questions, does not push your decision, and is really a joy to know. He's changed my life and I'm a person who doesn't like hospitals and had a very bad experience with a "good" doctor when I had my hip replaced a couple of years ago. He has impeccable credentials and a wonderful bedside manner. I give him the highest recommendation.
Very professional Doctor. Did not coerce into surgery immediately - very thoughtful and caring.

Red Bull's Mark Webber on his Norfolk racing roots
PUBLISHED: 12:15 07 July 2012
2012 Getty Images
Norfolk and motorsport have long been affiliated with each other, ever since Lotus moved to the county in 1968, and Van Diemen was founded in 1973 – but not many know that one Formula One star enjoyed humble beginnings in the county.
In 1996, a 19-year-old Australian ventured to Norfolk in a move that would kick start his career.
Mark Webber is now regarded as one of the finest drivers in the world and has enjoyed Formula One success with Minardi, Jaguar, Williams and most notably Red Bull.
But it was his time in Attleborough with Van Diemen that set him on course for his motorsport dream.
"I lived in Attleborough for about six months in 1996," said the Aussie. "It was close to the Van Diemen factory who I was racing for in Formula Ford, so it made sense to be there."
Having been born and raised in Australia he made the decision to visit the UK at the back end of 1995 as he looked to further his career, and it was Norfolk where he received his first opportunity.
Ralph Firman Senior was the boss at Van Diemen and Mark recalls pestering him to give him the opportunity of a test drive.
He said: "I had flown over to have a look around at options for the following season and Ralph gave in to my persistence and said I could test one of his cars there."
And just 24 hours later Firman was on the phone offering him the drive for the team in the Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch, such was the impression made on him.
That impression was to last as he went on to finish third in the festival, prompting Firman to sign him for the 1996 Formula Ford Championship. By the end of the season he had chalked up four victories that saw him finish second in the overall championships.
And following his performance in the Formula Ford Euro Cup, taking third in the series despite competing in only two of the three rounds, he was voted as Australian Motorsport's young achiever and international achiever of 1996.
Despite moving on from Van Diemen at the end of the year, Snetterton would remain a key place for Webber.
"It actually played quite a large role in my career," said the Red Bull ace.
"I tested and raced there in Formula Ford and Formula Three and I even used it to shake down my F3000 car as the team I was racing for, Super Nova, were based locally.
"It was also the first track outside of Australia I drove on."
He speaks fondly of his time in Norfolk and remembers it as a period of settling in following his decision to move from Australia.
"In terms of my career, I guess it helped that I knew the circuit when it came to racing and testing there, but really it was the camaraderie working with the other driving instructors and having a bit of normality while I was living in the UK that probably made the most difference for me," said Webber.
"Like many others, Norfolk gave my first real insight and introduction to the British motorsport scene.
"So many great drivers, such as Ayrton Senna, started their careers racing for Van Diemen so for an Aussie coming from the other side of the world, being part of the same Van Diemen team was very special.
"Norfolk – and Attleborough in particular – was home to a lot of young aspiring racing drivers during the 1970s, 80s and 90s; some of whom went on to make it at the very highest level."
Webber can now add himself to that list and he makes it clear that moving to the other side of the world was a decision that defined his career.
The Aussie said: "As a youngster leaving home for the first time and living on the other side of the world, it was a bit of a challenge to start with, but I didn't see it as a sacrifice or hardship – it's just what needed to be done to reach the ultimate goal of Formula One.
"Financially I was struggling so I would do anything to earn a few pounds. Ralph Firman used to give me a few bob every now and again to chauffeur people around for him, airport runs and so on. I was stunned to actually be paid for doing it."
Webber makes no secret of the fact that crucial support came from Australian rugby legend David Campese who had played with Mark's father for the Queanbeyan Whites.
Webber was almost forced to quit halfway through his 1997 Formula Ford season and that is when he turned to Campese, who offered him £50,000, that ensured he could run his car for the rest of the campaign.
The Aussie clearly understands the hard work and dedication needed to make his dream of becoming world champion a reality.
And having finished third in both 2010 and 2011, the popular Australian – currently second in the standings – hopes this season could be the one
Webber said: "I have gone into this season very refreshed and focused. My goals are the same though; we want to win and score those big points as often as possible.
"We know this year's competition is going to be very close and consistency is going to be the key."
And his focus is epitomised as I dared to ask what might lurk after life in the fast line.
"It's not something I'm really thinking about now. I'm 100pc focused on my Formula One career at the moment and when the day comes that I stop feeling passionate about what I do, I'll hang up my helmet and then we'll see."

VIENNA, Va., Oct. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) recognized MicroTech President & CEO Tony Jimenez last night as one of the Top 100 Entrepreneurs of 2012 by saluting his sustained innovation and leadership at their inaugural Builders & Innovators Summit this week.

A VITAL fire station could be spared closure thanks to impassioned pleas from campaigners.
Calls for a rethink on proposals to shut Baschurch Fire Station as a cost-cutting measure have been listened to amid claims it could endanger lives and put Oswestry firefighters under immense pressure if they were forced to cover a far larger area.
A report published last week by John Redmond, chief fire officer for Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service, signalled a U-turn on previous recommendations to consider closing Baschurch, along with Prees, Hodnet and Clun, as the authority looks to make savings of up to £1.7 million by 2020.
The news has brought great joy to countless campaigners who lobbied the fire service to recognise it would be a dangerous move.
Mayor of Oswestry, Councillor Chris Schofield, said it was great news for Oswestry and the whole of Shropshire.
"It's good to see common sense has prevailed," he said.
"Baschurch's closure would have put extraordinary pressure on Oswestry's firefighters and could have put lives at risk."
Nick Bardsley, Shropshire councillor for Ruyton and Baschurch, had fought long and hard to safeguard the station's future and said he was "pretty confident" Mr Redmond's advice would be followed.
"I would like to pay tribute to all the people who have campaigned – I have received hundreds of emails and letters of support.
"So many places would have been faced with delays, it could have been catastrophic.
"The difference between a wait of 10 or 15 minutes and 30 or 40 can be the difference between life and death."
And Baschurch parish councillor Paul Ridgley said he was "delighted" the fire service had listened to and valued the concerns of the public.
Mr Redmond said appeals from parish councils, schools and colleges, the fire brigade and farmers' unions, "demonstrates the level of support for keeping these stations open is significant".
He said "the savings likely to arise from the closure – approximately £391,000 – is outweighed by the potential negative impacts on service delivery" including the impact on response times, the resilience of the service during busy periods and the level of public concern.
He instead suggested Shropshire Fire and Rescue Authority, which will make the final decision on where savings are to be made, should instead consider the removal of one of the full time fire engines in the Shrewsbury or Telford area and the possible merger of control offices with another service.
Joyce Barrow, a member of the fire service's strategy and resources committee which will assess Mr Redmond's fresh proposals at a meeting on Thursday, said she hoped her fellow members would endorse the new proposals before a final decision is made by the fire authority later this month.
