Connecticut's roads among worst in nation
Obama uses data to push for increased transportation spending
Connecticut has a new distinction: The state's roads are the roughest in the nation and its bridges are not far behind, ranking third-worst in the U.S.
That is according to a White House report intended to drum up support for increased transportation spending.
The report says that 41 percent of Connecticut's 21,000 miles of roads are in "poor condition" and 35 percent of the state's 1,500 bridges are "deficient or obsolete."
"This adds fuel to the fire and the urgency of building our infrastructure," said state Sen. Toni Boucher, R-Wilton, a ranking member on the General Assembly's Transportation Committee.
"We are a small state that a lot of people drive through on a continuous basis," Boucher said. "We have rail that was allowed to deteriorate, and road issues."
According to the report, the best roads are in Nevada and Wyoming, and the best bridges are in Arizona and Wisconsin.
Rhode Island tied Connecticut for worst roads, with 41 percent in poor condition, followed by New Jersey and California. Rhode Island also has the worst bridges, with 57 percent considered deficient or obsolete, followed by Massachusetts.
More InformationStates with the worst roads:
Connecticut: 41 percent of roads in poor condition
Rhode Island: 41 percent
New Jersey: 35 percent
California: 34 percent
Hawaii: 27 percent
States with worst bridges:
Rhode Island: 57 percent of bridges deficient or obsolete
Massachusetts: 52 percent
Connecticut: 35 percent
West Virginia: 35 percent
Kentucky: 31 percent
Kevin Nursick, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation, said the index used by the White House report considered only the "rideability" of roads -- meaning how smooth they are -- and is not an assessment of road safety.
Still, Nursick conceded the state's infrastructure has many needs, with limited money to meet those needs.
"It does not take a brain surgeon to understand that the needs are increasing and federal funding has been stagnant for years," he said.
Nursick disputed Connecticut's bridge ranking, saying the state is "in the middle of the pack in terms of structurally deficient bridges."
Andrew Doba, a spokesman for Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, said the governor supports President Barack Obama's transportation initiative and defended Malloy's stewardship of state roads and bridges.
"We are allocating more revenue to the Special Transportation Fund than any previous administration has for decades," he said. "Previous administrations failed to invest in infrastructure. It's been up to Gov. Malloy to fix their mess," Doba said.
Boucher said former Gov. M. Jodi Rell is the only governor in recent memory to seriously invest in infrastructure.
"The bottom line is we have to stop raiding the transportation fund and giving big corporations hundreds of millions of dollars, and reprioritize what we invest in roads and bridges," Boucher said.
"I don't think Malloy has done that. It's been four years to say what your blueprint is for fixing the state," Boucher said.
She said the investment can happen "without raising taxes."
Titled "It's Time to Rebuild America," the White House report is part of a lobbying effort by President Barack Obama to push a transportation bill through Congress to "fund our nation's transportation system and invest in the nation's future growth."
The House passed a bill Tuesday that would temporarily patch a multibillion-dollar pothole in federal highway and transit programs. The vote was 367 to 55. A similar bill is pending in the Senate.
The bill cobbles together $10.8 billion by using pension tax changes, customs fees and money from a fund to repair leaking underground fuel storage tanks to keep the federal Highway Trust Fund, which pays for transportation programs nationwide, solvent through May 2015.
Without congressional action, the fund will no longer have enough money to cover promised aid to states by the first week in August.
Obama plans to pay for the spending through unspecified "pro-growth business tax reforms."
The administration contends poor roads cost Americans productivity, increase car repair bills and force commuters to waste time in traffic.
"That's why I put forward a plan to rebuild our transportation infrastructure in a more responsible way," Obama said Tuesday during a speech in Virginia.
"It would support millions of jobs," the president said. "It would give cities and states, and private investors the certainty they need to plan ahead and hire more workers. It would help small businesses ship their goods faster. It would save people money."
State Sen. Scott Frantz, R-Greenwich, a state Transportation Committee member, disagreed with the Obama initiative.
"The administration may be trying to dump money in hopes it will stimulate the economy," he said. "I don't think infrastructure will do that. There is so much chance of misspending and corruption when you put that much money out there."
The report said the U.S. lags behind many of its overseas competitors in transportation infrastructure investment and that 65 percent of America's major roads are rated in less than good condition, one in four bridges require significant repair or cannot handle today's traffic, and 45 percent of Americans lack access to transit.
"Americans spend 5.5 billion hours in traffic each year, costing families more than $120 billion in extra fuel and lost time," the report said. "American businesses pay $27 billion a year in extra freight transportation costs, increasing shipping delays and raising prices on everyday products. Under-investment impacts safety too."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Creators Project: You go by the name Hasisi Park, but that's an acquired name, right? When did you start going by that name?
Hasisi Park: My Korean name is Park Won Ji, and Hasisi is a type of marijuana plant. When I was 17, I dropped out of high school and traveled alone to India. When I told people that my name was Park Won Ji, they couldn't pronounce it. So when I was a bit tipsy, I just told them to call me Hasisi. It's embarrassing when I think about it now, but I still go by that nickname.
How did you begin your career in photography?
My father was a photographer, and ever since I was young he would use me as a model. Standing in front or behind a camera was a very familiar experience for me. And since I used to work with visual media, I always carried around a camera. Then I met my ex-boyfriend was who a very avid photo enthusiast and photographer, so that inspired me as well.
You majored in film and later quit school to focus on photography, yet you still do a fair amount of video work. What's the difference between still photography and video?
I don't think they are necessarily two separate things. The reason I quit my studies in London is because I didn't like the commercial aspect of my film studies, not the format itself.
What movies have influenced you especially?
I get that question a lot, so I tend to have my top five in my head all the time. I like Wes Anderson. I get inspired from his movies' production and composition of color, music, and tone. And in the case of Godard, I am influenced by everything.
What kind of a photographer do you want to be in the future?
I think that's an important question. I always think about that and get stressed about it. But in the end I think I just want to do what I enjoy and still be financially stable with it. I think as long as I don't have to drop my title as a photographer it will be good. Also I don't think being a poor photographer would suit me because I feel like I need to do well, and I care that people like my work.

It's back to business for Bellator middleweight champion Hector Lombard (27-2-1 MMA, 6-0 BFC).
The hard-swinging fighter is expected to meet Falaniko Vitale (28-9 MMA, 0-0 BFC) in a non-title bout on May 14 at Bellator 44.
Verbal agreements are in place for the bout, though contracts haven't been signed, sources told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). Officials haven't announced a location or venue for the event, though Lombard vs. Vitale likely will serve as the headliner on the night's MTV2 broadcast.
Lombard, who won Bellator's season-one tournament to become champion, beat back the first challenger to his belt this past October when he took on season-three tourney winner Alexander Shlemenko and earned a unanimous-decision win at Bellator 34.
Lombard, a member of American Top Team, has been a dominant force in the tournament-based promotion and shows no signs of slowing down. With the win over Shlemenko, his win streak now stands at 16 fights, and he hasn't lost a bout since November 2006.
Vitale returned to active competition this past year and put together back-to-back wins in his home state of Hawaii. It was a welcome turnaround following an unsuccessful stint in Strikeforce in which Vitale went 1-2 with the California-based promotion.
The UFC veteran holds notable victories over Yushin Okami, Matt Lindland and former UFC champ Dave Menne. His fight with Lombard serves as his Bellator debut.
Bellator's kicks off its upcoming fourth season on March 5, and the action airs live on MTV2 as part of a 12-week season. However, a start date for the promotion's middleweight tournament hasn't been announced.
For more on Bellator 44, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

Fast Track and Speedwheels, 1990.
Mixed-media sculptures in the passageway between the S and 4, 5, 6 lines in NYC's Grand Central Subway station, right side.
Artist: Daniel Sinclair.
I had to include this detail in my exploration of NYC's subway art because I wanted to show you the contrasting textures and different shapes and colors -- kinda interesting, wouldn't you say?
Dan Sinclair's Fast Track and Speedwheels are assemblages crafted from bright metallic sections that include wavy aluminum sheets, steel wheels, brass disks, copper springs and wires. Installed within a long passageway between the subway and Grand Central Terminal above, they interpret the speed, energy and train travel imagery into a series of relief sculptures. The art-deco shapes and various turning wheels, spinning gears and pistons add to the aura of the location, below one of America's premiere rail stations. "I want my sculpture to make people think of the power of the engines that drive the trains, my sculpture to make people think of the power of the engines that drive the trains, the speed and efficiency of them . . . the sculptures also reflect the architectural elements of Times Square and the Art Deco glamour of Radio City Music Hall," says the artist.
I have photographed glass tile mosaic artworks from several NYC subway stations now, so far, all are westside Manhattan subway lines; including the Christopher Street/Sheridan Square platform, Cathedral Parkway/110th Street platform (downtown-bound 1 train only); the mezzanine walls of the 42nd Street (Times Square) for the A, C and E trains; 42nd street/Times Square upstairs platform (1, 2 & 3 trains); 42nd Street/Times Square passageway between the 8th Avenue/Port Authority Bus Terminal (A, C, & E trains) and the 7th Avenue/Broadway (1, 2, & 3 trains) platforms; West 66th street/Lincoln Center Station (1 train); West 34th Street/Pennsylvania Station (A, C & E trains); Chambers Street (A & C trains); Houston Street (1 train); and Pennsylvania "Penn" station (1, 2 & 3 trains) [subway art archives] and, my favorite subway station of all, the American Museum of Natural History station at 81st and Central Park West (B & C trains) [AMNH archives].

Duration: 365 days
Faith omnipotent
'Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.' Mark 9:23
Suggested Further Reading: Romans 4:13–22
Faith studies what the promise is—an emanation of divine grace, an overflowing of the great heart of God; and faith says, 'My God could not have given this promise, except from love and grace; therefore it is quite certain that this promise will be fulfilled.' Then faith thinks, 'Who gave this promise?' She considers not so much its greatness, as 'Who is the author of it?' She remembers that it is God that cannot lie, God omnipotent, God immutable; and therefore she concludes that the promise must be fulfilled; and forward she goes in this firm conviction. Then she remembers, also, why the promise was given, namely, for God's glory, and she feels perfectly sure that God's glory is safe, that he will never stain his own character, nor mar the lustre of his own crown; and therefore she concludes that the promise must and will stand. Then faith also considers the amazing work of Christ as being a clear proof of the Father's intention to fulfil his word. 'He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?' Then faith looks back upon the past, for her battles have strengthened her, and her victories have given her courage. She remembers that God never has failed her, that he never did once fail any of his children. She recollects times of great peril, when deliverance came, hours of awful need, when as her day her strength was; and she says, 'No; I never will be led to think that he can now forswear himself, and change his character, and leave his servant.' Faith, moreover, feels that she cannot believe a hard thing of her dear God. Is it wrong to use that expression? I must use it, for he is dear to me.
For meditation: The faith of the early Christians was widely spoken about (Romans 1:8; Ephesians 1:15; Colossians 1:4; 1 Thessalonians 1:8; 3:6; Philemon 5). What message does your faith convey to you about God, and to others about your relationship with him?

With a starting price of $67,070, the BMW X5 diesel truly is a luxury mid-sized crossover, and one featuring 18-inch, five-spoke alloy wheels.
As is the case with any BMW, the options list can be extensive and one item that should be tried before ordering is the Sport Package, which includes larger 19- or 20-inch wheels.
The reason for test driving before ordering is that the ride can be slightly harsher with the larger wheels, where the base 18-inch wheels offer a smoother ride.
It really comes down to personal taste.
The X5 also comes standard with Xenon headlights and LED rear lights. Not just for decorative effect, these features ensure that the driver can see better and be seen. The rear cargo gate is actually two; one on the top and another on the bottom, which open like a clam. The bottom part of the tailgate is perfect for resting items while loading and unloading.
The Cockpit
Having owned a BMW X5 in the past and testing them over the years, it is always a pleasant surprise to see how uncluttered and clean the interior design is.
The radio and heat controls are easy to use and to reach from either the driver's side or the passenger's seat. The materials featured in this, and all BMWs, are first rate; plus the way they all fit together really showcases what a luxury product should be.
The dash, doors and even the lower sections of the interior are covered with soft-touch materials that resist scratching and wear, which is not the case with non-luxury products.
You really do get what you pay for. The front seats are large and comfortable, as are the back seats. A third row of seats can be added for $2,100. Standard equipment includes a heated steering wheel and heated front seats along with Bluetooth connectivity and an iDrive computer-controller for radio, navigation and advanced vehicle functions.
The Ride
The reason for choosing an X5 with a diesel engine over a conventional gasoline motor is an easy decision and one more and more buyers are making. First, the power is intoxicating, especially the ability to jettison away from other traffic and pass with absolute ease. This is all due to the 3.0-litre turbocharged engine delivering 425 lbs.-ft of torque, which is what the driver feels when accelerating. The second, and just as important, is the efficiency that diesel provides. Rated at 10.9L/100km in the city and 7.6L on the highway, this motor is substantially more efficient, plus in my travels diesel engines get the closest to the posted fuel ratings. The vehicle shown here features the standard 18-inch wheels for a smooth and stable ride, yet the ride is engaging, with good feedback to the driver. There is no diesel smell, noise or vibration, only a reassuring rumble from under the hood letting the driver know that this is a solid vehicle.
Zack's verdict
BMW helped to create the luxury crossover segment when the original X5 was introduced. This latest model is a perfect size for families that are active, yet want to be pampered. Driving an X5 diesel is a very rewarding experience due to the gobs of torque available under the driver's right foot, making it the best seat in the house. Next week we'll take a look at the other car that is included in the Dream Car Lottery grand prize, the BMW Z4 roadster, complete with a retractable hardtop and drop-dead good looks. The X5 and the Z4 really are a dream combination and one anybody would like to win.
The Lowdown
Power: 3.0-litre turbocharged6-cylinder with 425 lbs.-ft or torque
Fill-up: 10.9L/7.6L/100km (city/highway)

Cooking Benton's bacon
According to Allan Benton, just fry it till it's barely crisp around the edges and "bendable" in the center. But make sure it's cooked slowly so it gets cooked through.
Benton's Smoky Mountain Country Hams supplies several Chattanooga restaurants, including:
• Alleia, 25 East Main St.
• The Blue Plate, 191 Chestnut St.
• Public House, 110 Market St.
• St. John's Restaurant, 1274 Market St.
• 212 Market, 212 Market St.
• Home cooks can find Benton's bacon (no ham) at Pruett's Market, 1210 Taft Highway, Signal Mountain; or ham, bacon and proscuitto at the Benton Smoky Mountain Hams store, located at 2603 Highway 411 North, Madisonville. Or order from bentonscountryhams2.com.
A look at some of the creative ways chefs are using Benton's bacon and ham.
• David Chang, Momofuku, New York: Corn with Benton's bacon and miso butter.
• Hugh Atcheson, The National, Athens, Ga.: Empanada stuffed with Benton's Tennessee prosciutto, Spanish cheddar and scallions.
• Sean Brock, Husk, Charleston, S.C.: "We have their ham in the bar and you just slice it as you want it. You eat that country ham and you drink it with bourbon, there is nothing else in the world that matters. It's the smoke. Nobody uses as much smoke as he does. It is outrageous. If you put the tiniest amount of Benton's bacon into anything, it's like MSG, it just makes it. It's just incredible." (As told to findeatdrink.com)
• Chefs Josh Habiger and Erik Anderson, The Catbird Seat, Nashville: Cornball injected with Benton's bacon pudding.
MADISONVILLE, Tenn. - Smoke creeps out of the tiniest crevices as Allan Benton approaches the doors of the smokehouse, located in the rear of an unassuming building along Highway 411.
He unlocks the doors and, as they open, Benton disappears, engulfed in a haze of smoke heady with the smells of burning hickory. When the smoke clears, what revealed is rack upon rack of bacon that's been curing and hanging for weeks, waiting to be hauled over to the smokehouse.
"We'll smoke the heck out of them for three days," Benton says.
Benton's Smoky Mountain Country Hams is home to hams and bacon cured in a time-honored fashion, one that Benton learned growing up in the mountains of Southern Virginia's Scott County.
In a family event that included his parents as well as both his maternal and paternal grandparents, "we'd butcher hogs every year on Thanksgiving Day," he says. "We'd cure our own bacon and hams and make our own sausage, too. We used every part of the pig."
Like many college-bound kids of the 1960s, Benton "was determined to change the world." So following graduation and with a bachelor's degree in education and a master's in counseling, he set out to do so.
But when he returned to Madisonville to take a job as a guidance counselor, he took one look at the pay scale and realized he couldn't survive on the meager salary. So he made a decision to go back to what he grew up doing -- curing and smoking pork.
Now, he's on a first-name basis with some of the nation's top chefs who prize his pork, including restaurants in New York, Charleston and Nashville .
Benton says more than 70 percent of his product is shipped out by UPS to points east, west, north and south every weekday.
"We have 80 or 90 restaurants in New York city, a growing presence in Chicago. San Francisco is a really big market. And a lot goes to Napa Valley, too. And to New Orleans and Charleston, S.C."
The Big Easy is no stranger to Benton's pork. Famed chef Emeril Lagasse prefers Benton's ham and bacon more than any other, said executive sous chef Tabb Singleton of New Orleans' NOLA Restaurant, one of several of Lagasse's eateries nationwide.
"We have a lot of people who come in and try it and ask about it," Singleton says. "The bacon has such a good, heavy smoked flavor that's different from other bacons. Everyone who's had it likes it."
Ray Billalobos, chef de cuisine at Chicago's Table 2, says his guests can't get enough of Benton's products, either. Servers bring Benton proscuitto to the table with housemade pickles and other relishes, along with select cheeses. The restaurant also uses fat from Benton's bacon for cornbread.
"Mr. Benton and his products are amazing," Billalobos says.
Restaurateur Rob Gentry, owner of The Blue Plate in downtown Chattanooga, has Benton products on both restaurant and catering menus.
"Allan has been a cheerleader for quality regional food for years," he said. "He's all about quality. He's known for buying and sourcing the best pork in the United States. He's told me to stick to my guns about quality, too."
Diners crave Blue Plate's Summertime BLT, once served only in the summer but so popular Gentry was encouraged to keep it on the menu year-round.
"No doubt it's because of the bacon," Gentry said.
Where it began
Forty years ago, Benton bought an existing, though small-scale, ham business in Madisonville and started curing hams and bacon, mostly for local consumption.
"I wrote to every university in the South, asking for their ideas on how to cure hams," he says. "I told myself, 'This isn't rocket science. I can do this.'"
He played around with techniques and tried a few different rubs, but when all was said and done, he went back to the way his grandparents had done it all those years ago: a rub made from salt and brown sugar for the bacon with smoked red pepper added for ham.
"It's the original recipe from the old smokehouse behind the cabin I was born in," he says.
Along with the rubs, he uses only hickory or apple wood in his smokehouse.
"We're doin' the hams about the same way we did 'em 40 years back," says Arthur Atkins, who has been a part of Benton's Smoky Mountain Country Hams since its beginnings. Atkins is one of 12 employees who work curing, smoking, slicing and packaging.
Walk through the front door of Benton's store and your senses are struck by the rich smell of hickory and the invitingly sweet smell of applewood, combined with years of smoke and spices that have settled into fabric of the building. Directly in front of you is a refrigerated case with pork products ready for purchase while to your right is an open door leading to a room where workers slice the cured meats and wrap them for shipping. Look beyond, toward the rear, and slabs of bacon and ham have been hanging for weeks, if not months.
It's a long process that all begins in a huge walk-in cooler not open for public display on the back side of the building. Inside is where sides of pork are cut, then covered with rubs and left to hang on dozens of more racks. As he points to freshly rubbed hams that have recently been hung, Benton says, "I'm looking 18 months into the future."
Specific goals
When he started, Benton also set a goal that would set him apart from other ham producers, curing his hams for 14 to 18 months and selling them for about the same price as a ham cured for just 80 days.
His first 20 years in business were a struggle, he says, selling to restaurants in the area and to whatever tourists and locals made their way through the doors of a larger building he built five years into his new venture. Dogged determination -- and some lucky breaks along the way -- catapulted his business to a new level.
Looking to expand his business in 1991, Benton took a ham and some of his bacon to Blackberry Farm, one of Tennessee's noted resorts and dining destinations, located in Walland, Tenn. At the time, it also was home to chef John Fleer, trained at the Culinary Institute of America and, among other honors, noted as a "Rising Star of the 21st Century" by the James Beard Foundation.
It wasn't long before Fleer called and told Benton that he planned to develop an entire menu around Benton's products.
"Then he shared my products with other chefs around the country," Benton says.
That was followed in 2002 by an invitation and appearance at a ham tasting in Oxford, Miss., for the Southern Foodways Alliance, an event attended by hundreds of chefs and food writers from around the country. Benton marks it as a pivotal moment for his business.
"On the drive home, I told my wife, 'I think I've seen the promised land,'" he says. "I knew that if we could tap into that market, we could be successful, so I made the decision to change my business plan and increase my production of aged hams."
Pig tales
For Benton, not just any hog will do. Berkshire, Duroc, Tamworth -- they're all names of the types of heritage hogs Benton works to find. Heritage breeds come from bloodlines going back hundreds of years, when livestock was raised on the open range. The hogs have more intramuscular fat and the meat carries a heartier flavor, Benton says.
Independent farmers are trying to raise awareness of the heritage breeds, and chefs, too, are paying attention. According to a 2011 survey by the National Restaurant Association, locally sourced meat is a growing trend, which makes it harder for Benton to secure the more than 12,000 pounds of pork he needs every week to meet demand.
As a result, he hesitates to name his pork sellers, saying they're hard to find and he wants to be able to continue buying their meat. The ones he uses give him pork that's closest to the type from the acorn-fed hogs that his grandparents raised in Virginia, he says.
"I've found I have to guard that secret more than Coca-Cola guards its recipe," he jokes. "But most of it comes from the Midwest, with some other coming from Virginia, and I can sometimes get some from a farm in Alabama."
Quality vs. quantity
Benton strives to follow a creed established by his father, one that encouraged his son to "always do business with quality people." Years later, Benton would quote friend Thomas Keller, chef/owner of The French Laundry and Per Se in Napa Valley, Calif.: "Always source the best ingredients you can find."
"That resonated loudly with me," Benton says. "I put that together with what my dad told me. If you deal with quality people, you're going to get a quality product."
And that quality product is one that some chefs can't get enough of.
"I turn away as many orders as I get," Benton says.
Blue Plate's Gentry paid a visit to Madisonville not too long ago and was impressed with the range of business Benton has established.
"I looked at shipping pallets that were stacked with boxes six feet high carrying labels addressed to California, Washington state, Chicago. You just wouldn't believe it," he says.

Posted by Editoress on 01/27/12
It is with great enthusiasm that Team Ekoï.com / Gaspésien officially announces obtaining their UCI Continental license for the 2012 season. This license represents a step toward future growth. The organization wishes to, one day, become a benchmark in terms of a professional team and pivotal player in the progression for talented young North Americans cyclists. This effort would not be possible without the support of sponsors who are as passionate in the sport. EKOÏ.com, Devinci, and Trek financial coaching are joining the organization for the first season and Gaspésien continues to support our growth for over the past 6 years.
Our mission is clear, helping young riders to advance in the sport while keeping in mind one simple thing ''having fun''. Cycling, even at a professional level should remain fun. Perform this sport with high ethics, focus and enjoyment is the key to the success of our organization.
For the 2012 season, the team will participate in the UCI America tour, allowing young riders to develop their experience in a more difficult peloton. As the average age of rider is relatively young (22 years), the team can rely on the experience of two established veterans with vast experience in the international circuit. Mathieu Roy and Adam Carr will serve as team co-captains and mento riders such as Emile Jean (Junior Canadian Road Champion 2011) and Charles Matte (Quebec junior Road Champion 2011) to begin their first year as seniors.
Additions to this group are Jordan Brochu, Antoine Matteau (2011 Quebec Road Champion), Jean Samuel Deshaies, Charles Bryer, Yannick Bedard, and Francois Chabot. Pierrick Naud showed his talent in Belgium last year with the Canadian U23 team.
You can follow the team throughout the season on the new official website:
The calendar and action photos will be updated regularly, and blog comments are welcome by all.
Coming in the next few weeks, the official team presentation will be held at the Montreal bicycle show at Place Bonaventure on Saturday February 18th.

http://mmajunkie.com LONDON – Aside from a last-minute save by main-event winner Michael Bisping, Saturday's UFC 120 card in London wasn't exactly a shining moment for British MMA.
Three of the country's biggest stars – Dan Hardy, John Hathaway and "The Ultimate Fighter 9" winner James Wilks – were easily defeated by their American counterparts in high-profile main-card bouts at The O2.
But UFC president Dana White said the results won't do anything to hurt the growth of the UFC in the U.K.
In fact, he said the sport flourishes with or without regional talent.
"Obviously, when you hit England and there are English guys on the card, there's a lot of patriotism," White said. "But it's not really about what country you're from."
That's why, White said, the UFC will continue to grow and flourish in the U.K.
And, of course, there are no plans for slowing down. Granted, the U.K. hosted just one UFC event this year (down from three in 2008 and two in 2009). But this past week, UFC U.K. head Marshall Zelaznik confirmed that more are coming in 2011, including possible UFC Fight Night-type shows that will focus more on regional talent. He even told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that fans can't count out the possibility of a title fight taking place in the U.K. or other overseas markets.
And, as White explains, you don't necessarily need local talent to produce such major shows. In fact, UFC fans have an international roster of fighters from which they can pick their favorites.
"No matter what parts of the world we're in, no matter what country you're from, some guys win, and some guys lose," White said. "I always say (UFC welterweight champion) Georges St-Pierre is from Canada, and he'll come down to the United States and fight a guy from the U.S., and more people will cheer for him.
"B.J. Penn fought here (in the U.K.), and people went crazy for him. It doesn't matter what country you're from. It's about the type of fighter you are and whether people like you."
In fact, among the nine shows the UFC has hosted in the U.K. since Zuffa purchased the organization in 2001, just two (22 percent) have been headlined by a U.K. fighter (though six of nine had a local competitor in a co-headliner). And though White admits that success from a local star can help, it's not vital to the organization's operations.
In other words, even if it had been a complete wash for the British fighters (which it wasn't, since preliminary-card competitors Paul Sass and Rob Broughton also dazzled at UFC 120), there's no reason to panic.
"Fans … want to see Dan Hardy and Michael Bisping and Hathaway and these guys win, but when they don't, I don't think it's like, 'Oh [expletive], we're never going to another UFC event because the English guys didn't win," he said.
White said it's sometimes easy to lose sight of that fact. It's easy to look at a single event or a single country and forget the bigger picture.
Just look north of the U.S. border, White said.
"Think about this: Two Brazilians fought in Montreal, and the place was packed and rocking," said White, referring to a UFC 97 headliner between Anderson Silva and Thales Leites. "That was the main event, two Brazilians. Two Brazilians fought in Los Angeles, and the place was rocking.
"When you think about it, we've taken the whole fight business to a whole other level. You'd never put on a fight with two Brazilians in Montreal. It's insane. It'd never work. But it does with this sport."

I asked my 18-year-old son for the phone number of one of his friends, but he didn't know it.
"I don't remember phone numbers by heart, dad," he said. "Why would I?"
Like most of his generation, he just looks at his phone contact list, presses "Call" and his phone remembers for him.
Not knowing any phone numbers seems amazing to me. I spent my youth memorizing countless peoples' numbers and many are still lodged in my brain long after the phones were disconnected, like some of the people.
Numbers like CR-13128, for Anna Torkovsky, who I haven't seen in 43 years. Or VI-40111, which I called to get the "correct time".
It's similar for many other mental skills that are rapidly becoming antiquated.
For decades people woke up and looked at the outside thermometer to see the temperature. Now you look online at the Weather Channel, headquartered in Atlanta, to get the temperature outside your Hampstead door.
Eventually no one will remember how to read thermometers, anymore than they do a sextant.
Does anyone in high school still memorize the Periodic Table of Elements we all spent months learning — along with compounds like NaCl, the chemical formula for salt? Today that formula is in your cellphone, with trillions of other facts — in case the supermarket ever runs out of salt and you need to make some from scratch.
Experts talk about today's "knowledge economy" but increasingly we live in a no-knowledge economy, where you don't need to remember, or know, anything — because the Internet knows for you.
In our fact-filled world they say the point isn't to know things but to know how to find them. So we use our memories for less and less. The question is — what should we remember?
I'd rather not remember old phone numbers and other junk I can't forget — like the 1960's commercial for: "Ajax! The foaming cleanser, gets rid of dirt, and grease and stains." I'd prefer a more selective memory that saved useful stuff and deleted the rest, like my computer can.
But what's useful? Many important things I memorized in high school seem useless today. I still remember the sine of pi/2 = 1, though I have no clue what "sine" is.
In English, I spent my youth memorizing poems and Shakespeare sonnets whose half stanzas still cram my brain.
"Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, something, A fellow of infinite something, Of most something something."
Today all you have to remember is "Yorick" and the Internet will produce the rest. So will anyone bother learning more?
Maybe learning these phrases and formulae was good training for our minds — or maybe not. Either way, it's a slippery slope. How long will people remember how to get anywhere now that car and phone GPSs bark instructions to us at every corner?
"Continue on Mulberry St., 100 feet to your residence … 50 feet … Turn left now, down walkway, until door ... Insert key and turn to right.
"No! — right, I said ... Recalculating."
How long will people know long division when your phone's math app can already calculate pi to 33 million digits? I imagine a supermarket cash in the future when there's a debate over how much 7 bananas cost, when they're only priced by the dozen.
Clerk 1: Anyone here know math?
Clerk 2: No way. Call the manager.
Clerk 3: What's math?
Soon our phones will master facial recognition and remember names and faces, liberating us from more tedious mental tasks. Your phone will be like a president's political aide whispering personal info to you as strangers approach:
"Her name is Susie Coachman. You met her at your daughter's play group, Her son's name is Jeff. Ask how her mom is — she has the flu."
All this will allow humans to clear our minds of unneeded clutter and save our memories for more important stuff. But what? Instead of rote memorizing perhaps we'll have time to understand the beauty of the Periodic Table, the implications of sine, the deeper meaning of Hamlet, instead of just the words.
But probably not. More likely we will need all our new mental space to remember our passwords — since by then we'll have 300 of them, each 75 letters long, that we must change every 90 minutes to avoid identity theft.
After that, we will barely have enough brain space left to mutter to our Google Glasses:
– Hello memory. What date was my daughter born?
– June 13.
– And what date was I born?
– October 7.
– And what's my name?
– Josh, Josh.
Don't get me wrong, I think not remembering phone numbers is an advance in human history, but it may lead to problems. Knowing endless useless facts may be useless, but it's a lot better than knowing nothing.

OK, we're calling it: this is the year of the sound bar, those long, slender speaker boxes that you see freakin' everywhere. (Today alone we mentioned three companies introducing a total of six new models!) When our very own Brian Lam was at CES this past January, he heard the editor-in-chief of a top home Audiophile/Videophile magazine tell one of his lead sound gear writers "audio is just dead." That kind of talk is not unexpected—it's about as shocking as a French wine critic calling Australian shiraz "the end of civilization." We all know sound bars have a place, but what have they done to 5.1? As you may have noticed, not all sound bars are surround bars. Here's the breakdown of most currently available models:
Active surround sound: Plug and play, no external amp needed
Philips Ambisound ($1,000) - You get a lot for your money with this one. Not only is it an active surround system, but it comes with an iPod dock and has a built-in DVD player.
<a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/home-entertainment/yamahas-ysp+4000-flagship-surround-bar-does-upscaling-hdmi-xmipods-288971.php
">Yamaha YSP series ($900 to $1,800) - Real deal audio projectors rely on reflection against back walls and a particular sweet spot, but often do very well to convey the 3D sound feel. The new flagship does video upscaling via HDMI and can handle iPods and XM radio.
Yamaha YAS-70 ($600) - This is very promising, for the money. It's meant specifically for smaller rooms, but promises the same surround as its siblings. And like the YSPs, it also requires a separate subwoofer.
SoundMatters SlimStage (Still "Under $1,000") - A powered sound-bar billed as slim yet so powerful and rich in frequency range, it doesn't even need a separate subwoofer. Too bad it hasn't shipped yet. When it does, it will succeed the $429 MainStage HD.
Denon DHT-FS3 Active Surround Sound System ($1,200) - 5-channel built-in amplifier for surround, plus a powered 50-watt subwoofer. (Three digital inputs, one analog one.)
Passive surround sound: Needs a little juice
Polk SurroundBar50 ($1,100) and SurroundBar ($950) - Delivers true five-channel sound, but does it the old fashioned way: It requires a 5.1 amplifier, like an A/V receiver or a home theater in a box. Also, you still need to supply a subwoofer.
Stereo sound bars: Not true surround, but you can fool some people some time
Boston Acoustics TVee Model Two ($400) - Today's Boston Acoustics entrant promises just 2.1, with a wireless "woofer" for middle to low-end fillout.
ZVOX ($200 to $600) - A bit chunky and stereo all the way, this all-in-one speakerbox has a cult following because of how much it eerily mimics surround sound with nothing more than stereo source. Great for people who just don't care about things creeping up from the rear.
A few of you audiophile folks might be wondering where some of your favorite sound bars are, like the Paradigm 3-in-1, the Mirage Uni-Theater or the Atlantic FS-5000 Flat Screen Speaker. These are all pretty awesome speaker bars, but they don't fulfill the specific goal of the others: they don't keep you from installing surround speakers behind your couch. Anyone who buys one of these and not use it as a complete surround system (in some cases, by buying a second to mount in the rear) is just dumb, or at least should have probably stuck with that tasty ZVOX.
Well, are they the end of the world? I don't think so. As you can see, there are just too many different types at work here, some are bound to be good, others not so much. The most important takeaway for all of us, including that stuffy editor, is that in the coming year there will only be more, not less, of these. So it's good to know what we're in for.

Durham 4, Pawtucket 0. Another strong start for Chris Seddon. Seddon went 6 giving up 4 hits, 1 walk and allowing no runs and striking out 3. He improves to 3-0 on the season and lowered his ERA to 1.17. Elijah Dukes had his best day of the young season going 3-4 with 2 runs scored and an RBI. He is now batting .288. Delmon Young had a double and went 1-5. B. J. Upton was 0-3 with 2 walks and had his 9th error of the season. The throwing error, ended his streak of 4 straight errorless games. Upton's streak was just 106 games short of the Major League record of 110 consecutive errorless games by a shortstop, set by Mike Bordick in 2002.
Mississippi 9, Montgomery 6. C Ryan Christianson hit a pair of home runs and drove in 4 for the Biscuits who dropped the final game of this 5-game series. Marcos Carvajal, who came over in a trade earlier this season from Seattle pitched a scoreless 9th. Carvajal, a former rule-5 pick of the Rockies is a typical strong -armed minor league pitcher. In 9.2 innings this season he has surrendered only 1 earned run, but has control problems. Despite being able to hit the upper 90s with his fastball, he has surrendered 8 hits and 8 walks to go along with his 8 strikeouts.
Visalia 12, Lancaster 11. SS Reid Brignac, The Cajun God of Baseball (we aren't making this up), picked up the winning RBI single in the 9th. Brignac went 3-6 with 3 RBI to raise his average to .389. He was one of 6 players with at least 2 hits, including LF Patrick Breen who picked up his 5th home run. Brignac did commit his 8th error of the season. The error ended his 4-day errorless streak. Of course, one of those days Brignac only pinch-hit and the other was an off-day for the team. Our research staff is still trying to confirm reports that Brignac let a quarter pounder go through his legs at McDonalds on their off-day.
Burlington 2, SW Michigan 0, 10 innings. Fitting in with the rest of the shortstops in the organization, Neil Walton committed 2 errors including one that led to two unearned runs in the top of the 10th. The loss wasted a strong outing by Gregory Reinhard, who went 5 and gave up no runs on 2 hits and 1 walk.

Lawsuits seek Ferguson teen's juvenile records
Michael Brown had no adult criminal records, police say
A judge is reviewing a request by two media organizations to release any possible juvenile records of the unarmed 18-year-old who was killed by a police officer last month in suburban St. Louis.
The 45-minute hearing Wednesday before a St. Louis County family court judge didn't reveal whether Michael Brown has such a record. The central legal question is whether Brown's privacy rights extend beyond the grave.
Juvenile records are confidential in Missouri. Police have said Brown had no adult criminal record. A lawyer for the county juvenile office said only that Brown was never charged with a serious felony.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch and a northern California online journalist are seeking release of all of Brown's juvenile records, if any exist. A Brown family attorney called the requests "shameful."

Italian Countryside for Christmas...
Mikasa "Italian Countryside" flatware and dinnerware combined with vintage Noritake "Perspective" glassware my mom gave me, and the Walmart woven chargers I stained with dark walnut stain.

Gorgeous!!! I love the long box centerpiece down the middle and the glassware is fabulous. What a great vivid red color; you don't often see glassware with such a lovely red color! I was shopping this last weekend and spotted some Mikasa "Italian Countryside" dishes and I thought of you at once. They are such beautiful dishes, even more lovely in person, I think!ReplyDelete
Anita, your tables are each so wholesome yet elegant... Making them so very unique and gorgeous! Thanks for always sharing your amazing talents... Sending Christmas blessings to you and your family.ReplyDelete
Anita, as always, this table is fantastic!! I love the Italian Countryside dinnerware and it works so well with your holiday setting! The box looks so festive with the all of the greens and candles. And your red glassware just sets the tone! Very pretty!ReplyDelete
lovely as always. This is my fav Mikasa pattern. xoReplyDelete
LOve all the natural elements....your centerpiece is to die for! Gorgeous table!ReplyDelete
Miss Bloomers
The red in your dining area is beautiful The other rich colors only help to enhance the Italian Countryside. And your silverware match! I'd love to come sit down at your dinner table for Christmas!ReplyDelete
We used to have IC but it was not kid friendly. And expensive to replace. Last year we ended up buying new dishes from Homegoods instead. Made me kind of sad.Replies
Thank you:-) I'm wondering why you say it's not kid friendly? I have three kids and we have used it since they were little, and it has been very durable because it is not stoneware, which does not hold up well at all.Delete
This one is so simple and lovely. I finally decided to gut up and start to collect Italian Countryside. I have four place settings so far. I love the way you use it so flexibly.ReplyDelete
And I'm glad you saved the centerpiece to continue to use it. I pinned that to copy cat it. I love it.
Your tablescape is beautiful. It is so crisp. I love that you used things you probably had to create it. Also, I like the table.ReplyDelete
Anita, I LOVE your tablescape! Everything looks perfect. Those vintage red goblets are stunning...what a lucky girl you are!! Your guests will love sitting at your table.ReplyDelete
Ooooo, Anita, so beautiful! Everything is so festive and perfect, as always! :)ReplyDelete
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
There are a few ladies that can set simple, but very elegant table...you are one of them, Anita. Your table is beautiful.ReplyDelete
I just realized that the orange/tangerine glassware I used for a fall table is Noritake Perspective...if not for you, I wouldn't have had a clue. Thanks!
Anita, I absolutely LOVE your table! It's so simple, yet so beautiful and I still adore the wooden box. I hope to have my sweet husband make me one, too! I love using natural elements from our property in my decorations, as well, and yours are gorgeous! you have such a gift.ReplyDelete
Merry Christmas and God Bless you and your family for all you do,
How pretty this is -- your centerpiece box has been a tablescaping treasure for all seasons.ReplyDelete
I'm crazy about your napkins...love the fabric and the fresh greens! Your table is quite lovely. I love your white pattern and your glassware adds so much. Your centerpiece continues to be your trademark as you change with the occasion. You are a natural tablescaper.ReplyDelete
So very pretty...I love your rustic elegance that you add to your tables each week. Your stemware is beautiful! Your mom does have quite a talent. I think I'm going to hit some antique stores over Christmas in search for red goblets!! Merry Christmas!ReplyDelete
Hi, Anita! This is the kind of table that would make me want to just sink in a chair and linger for hours and hours. It's simply beautiful! Have a good weekend, and have fun out there singing your hearts out on Monday!ReplyDelete
That box has to be one of the neatest things you've ever used. I absolutely adore it! I've been collecting quite a bit of vintage glass for the last yer or so. Maybe some day I'll be knowledgeable like your mom...huge learning curve. Your table is lovely as always...continues to be one of my favorite stops. Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry KayReplyDelete
This is such a charming table!! You have the prettiest table runners! Lovely, lovely...ReplyDelete
Napkin tutorial?!ReplyDelete
Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
I just love your centerpiece. It is so beautiful. Are the candles in regular candle holders or the wrought iron ones with the spokes to hold them securely?ReplyDelete

Well I trapped those three little kittens and now they are healthy and happy in their new homes. Mama fixed and returned to her caretaker. 24 cats and kittens through the month of June. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Thank goodness I had help at each place. If I had help all the time it would be wonderful. Getting into the vet is the hard part. This pandemic has all the clinics way behind and they are scheduling out to November right now. Very hard for the trappers that need appts immediately.
felt like writing today. I haven't lately because I guess I have felt so insignificant when compared to what others have to go through. My troubles seem trivial in comparison. My mom would get on me for that. She always said that they may seem trivial but they are my troubles and therefore important to me.
Had to give up the raise in Neurontin by my PM doc, made me super depressed, my psych doc has taken the script back over and I am back down to my therapeutic dose of 300 in a.m.
Updated 07-06-2020 at 03:06 AM by houghchrst
here in a bit. Seems like forever. I guess I haven't much to say. The topical I got seems to have maxed out it's ability to touch my pain. It is a relief but doesn't clear it. I guess nothing does. I would kill for a couple 10mg Percs. PT was cancelled and we are going directly to my MRI thank God. Had tele visits for my doc appts.
This virus has me terrified. I have made arrangements for my animals if something should happen to me. I am also making arrangements for other things for
on my pain. As a topical the CBD oil works surprisingly well. I got cocky and got away from my muscle relaxer and acetaminophen and began to realize that it was helping a little as back up. One sample session of PT and for two days I felt it. Not muscle workout wise but actual flare up of past pain.
At this point I am going to call my primary care doctor and ask if I should even be going out to PT with the corona virus going around. The mayor has called for a shelter in place order
I am less than a week in and I am amazed at the effect of the CBD oil is having on my pain. I have been following the CBD regimen and it is working amazingly well. I no longer have to take my muscle relaxer in the mornings and the Acetaminophen is on an as needed basis. I sat on the edge of my bed last night and couldn't believe that I had to do a concentrated check to see what hurt. My feet as usual but my lower back pain is almost nonexistent at resting and upper back pain is reserved for that

Some Southern Arizona Shrines of Vastly Different Things
Everyone knows that Arizona has a lot of great history. Especially if you are interested in the old west or ancient history of North America. How about baseball history? Did you know that one of the oldest ballparks in America is located in Arizona? Neither did I until my friend, Stan, took me to Warren Ballpark. But first, the trip there:
As you know, for me, going someplace is as much about the journey to get there as it is about the destination. Stan and I also try to take each other on roads on which the other has never been before. This makes planning our rides more fun and more challenging.
There are only a few ways to get out of Tucson, so those can be a bit repetitive. To combat this, I try to look for sights along the way that I have never noticed before. Since we were headed southeast, we took Houghton Road down to Sahuarita Rd and turned east. A mile or so from our turn onto Highway 83 we came across a special sight.
The Gila (HEE-luh) Monster is native to the desert southwest and is named after the Gila River basin where it was first discovered. What makes seeing them special is their incredible laziness. They hibernate in the winter and estivate in the summer. They only come out of their burrows when the temperature is perfect. That means they spend as much as 95% of their lives underground, sleeping.
We saw this guy crossing the road, so we pulled over and ran back to snap some pictures before he crawled away. If you ever see one, stop and check it out, because you may never see another one.
I didn't get a pic, but our next visual surprise was seeing a Pronghorn along the road as we approached Sonoita on Highway 83. I don't remember ever seeing one. I always they they were a type of antelope, but in preparing for this article, I discovered that they aren't. As a matter of fact, they are the only member of their animal family. I find that quite interesting.
We stopped for a brief rest in Sonoita, then turned east again, onto Highway 82. I have written about it before, but the trip between Sonoita and the junction with Highway 90 is quite beautiful. There are grassy plains, livestock and scenic views. Hwy-82 is 2-lane blacktop but is in good condition without very much traffic.
We made the turn onto Highway 90 at the community of Whetstone and went south into Sierra Vista. Highway 90 is divided and is in very good condition. It's only about 12 miles until you hit town.
Sierra Vista has population of about 40,000 and has about all you could need as far as goods and services are concerned. It is a military town as well, since it is adjacent to Fort Huachuca. Sierra Vista has only been incorporated since 1956, but the presence of Fort Huachuca ensures that there is a lot of history to be discovered here. If you've got time, stop in at the Fort Huachuca Museum.
Before we took this trip, Stan had asked me if I knew if the shrine at Our Lady of the Sierras had survived the Monument Fire last year. I didn't know and wasn't entirely sure of which shrine he was speaking. I then recalled seeing a large cross and statue on the side of a mountain when I took my youngest son on a drive to Bisbee a few years ago. We had decided to go check it out.
Instead of turning to follow Highway 90, we continued straight as the road becomes Buffalo Soldier Road. We followed that until it intersects Highway 92. We followed that south toward Hereford. The shrine is about 6 miles after turning onto 92, but you can see it on the side of the mountain long before you get there. There is a 75 foot tall cross and a 30 foot tall statue of the Virgin Mary 400 feet up on the side of the mountain. To get to the shrine on paved road, turn right on Stone Ridge Rd and right again, on Prince Placer. Follow your eyes up to the parking lot. Be advised, the shrine is on the side of a mountain. The pathways are well maintained, but they are steep. Please plan accordingly.
I am not Catholic, but I can appreciate the beauty of this place as well as the dedication it took to make something like this happen. Stan and I headed down the mountain back to Highway 92. I had mentioned the close proximity of the Coronado National Memorial to Stan and, as luck would have it, Stan had never been there.
Just over a mile from where we came back onto 92 is the turn to the Memorial. I have written about this before, but it focused, mostly, on the route from the other side, coming in from Parker Canyon Lake. The road from Hereford is shorter and not as pretty as coming in from the west, but the park is still worth the visit. It is a shrine to nature and to Arizona history.
We enjoyed talking with the Ranger at the visitors' center and turned around to finish our trip to Warren Ballpark. (See what I mean by making the journey as good as the destination?) We didn't do it, but I highly recommend going to the top of Montezuma Pass. It requires 2-3 miles of dirt road, but it is well maintained and the view is fantastic. Also, we saw two more Pronghorn on the Coronado national Memorial Road on our way out.
We retraced our steps back out to Highway 92 and turned east and headed toward Bisbee, home of Warren Ballpark. It is a short 20 miles from here to Bisbee. I followed Stan as he turned onto School Terrace Road. I had never been down this road before.
I was taken aback as we rode through a section of Bisbee that I had heard about, but never could find. There are houses that looked like they should be in New England rather than southern Arizona. We turned right onto Douglas and followed that around to Warren Ballpark.
Unfortunately, the field was closed, but I was able to get some pics over the fence and of the plaque outside the field. Warren was built in 1909, one year BEFORE Rickwood Field in Birmingham, AL. I guess the big difference is that Rickwood is listed as the oldest professional park in the country, whereas Warren is the oldest continually used park in the country. It's a shrine to America's favorite past time. There have been professional teams there intermittently over the years but none in quite a while.
We had just been to a baseball field, so where else to go for lunch than Jimmy's Hot Dogs? I had every intention of getting one of their delicious hot dogs until I got inside and it was "Spaghetti Wednesday." Stan got the dog and I got the spaghetti. We were both very pleased with our choices.
We had a couple of options to return to Tucson. A while back I wrote about driving on Gleeson Road, seeing the ghost town. That post mentioned the fact that I needed to chose between two roads to go to Tombstone from the Sulfur Springs Valley. That time time I chose Gleeson, this time I chose Davis.
Therefore, we left Tombstone on highway 80 toward Douglas. A couple of miles before getting to Douglas, we turned north on Highway 191 and rode the 18 miles to McNeal and the junction with Davis Rd. The road condition of Davis Rd is good. It has very little traffic, gentle hills and easy curves. It is 24 miles from McNeal to the junction with Highway 80 (again) about 3 miles south of Tombstone.
While we were stopped to re-hydrate a bit, Stan asked me if there was an alternate route to Sierra Vista from Tombstone. "As a matter of fact there is." I replied and told him about Charleston Road and off we went to get Stan on a second road in a day that he had never traveled.
Locals tell me that, until a few years ago, Charleston Rd was extremely twisty and hilly but has been straightened for safety reasons. I never went on it before, but it is still an enjoyable piece of asphalt. There is an abandoned bridge where the road used to cross the San Pedro. We stopped there and took a couple of photos.
From there, we came into Sierra Vista, turned north on Highway 90 and returned to Tucson by the way we had come. There was nothing exciting on the way back, but I will say that there were still interesting differences. The fact that it was afternoon, not morning, and the fact that we were traveling west rather than east both combined to make the return trip every bit as enjoyable as the way out.

Here is the map of the route we took
I hope one or more of these places pique your interest and get you headed out to explore places in Arizona you've never seen before. Sure, you may have been on one, some or all of the highways mentioned in this article, but have you seen all the sights?

Great Report,
Hope to get out that way and visit some of those places soon now that the weather is starting to cool down.

Start by opening the program. In the menu bar, select File. In the drop-down menu, select Site Manager. This will open the Site Manager window, and you need to click on the New Folder button.
This will show a new folder in the window on the left hand window, under My Sites. Enter a name for the new folder in the box. Now we need to configure a new site inside this new folder. Click on New Site, below the left hand window. This will create a new site below the folder we just created. Enter a name for the new site in the box. On the right hand side, there is a box called Host:. In this box, enter the name of the Host. Scroll down a little, and select Normal for logon type. Enter the Username in the box below the Logon type. The next box is for your Password. Then click Connect at the bottom of the window. That is it! You are now connected to the remote server. The login details have been saved for quicker connections in the future.
To disconnect from the server, click on Server in the top menu bar. Then click on Disconnect from the drop-down menu. This is the end of this tutorial. You should now know how to configure a web site in the FTP program FileZilla, in order to establish an FTP connection.
