Winter Letter 2015

Dear Glenwood Members

It is time to start getting ready for spring and summer. Over the past few months the pool has been empty and all of our furniture is stacked and stored, but the Board has been busy preparing for the upcoming season.

We will tell you all about it at our Annual Membership Meeting – mark your calendar for:

Thursday, March 12, 2015
7:30 PM
Knights of Columbus Hall on Rosensteel Avenue

Below are some advance updates for your review prior to the meeting:

Our management team is still being developed, but we hope to have a few familiar faces running the show this summer. Also, while we arent sure of the numbers yet, we do
expect to have many returning lifeguards.

Now is the time for prospective new guards to become certified. Many classes are offered through the Montgomery County Recreation Department. We always have lots of young pool members interested in joining the staff and we do our best to accommodate them, but please note that we simply cant hire everyone. Anyone interested in guarding — even if returning from 2014 — should send an email to Board Member Dave Kreischer (

Jeremy and Kelly Butler will be back to lead our swim team coaching staff this summer,
and assistant and pre-team coaches will be announced by April. The Swim Team Reps this year will be Jack Niemczuk, Roland Schrebler, Beth Saindon and Zac Morford.

Along with Treasurer Lisa Gray, they look forward to mobilizing our awesome parents in
support of the MCSL’s most enjoyable summer program. The first draft of the 2015 Swim Team calendar has been posted on the Swim Team website, with updates to follow. On-line registration for returning swimmers (only) will begin in mid-May.  ALL first-time swim team and prospective pre-team swimmers MUST be screened in person after the pool opens. The practice schedule for this year will remain the same as last year’s (also on the team website).

New Dive Team Reps Ramona Schreiber and Tracy Wagner are pleased to report the return of Head Coach Noah Ehrenberg and are in communication with last years assistant coaches. The Dive Team will also open on-line registration in May. You can find news for Dive team at its website HERE.

To view the current budget report, please click HERE or visit the Glenwood home-page. The report includes final numbers for 2014 and the proposed 2015 operating budget. Please review this report in advance of the meeting.

Some highlights:

  • We continue to control expenditures well and manage major capital improvements that will keep up the quality of our facility and grounds. Last years major improvements included landscaping improvements to our property entrance, new caulking for the coping stone border surrounding the main pool, repairs to our stairs at the back of the property, several new tables and brick platforms around each foot shower.
  • Rebuilding our capital reserve has been a priority in recent years, and now that we are into our 11 th year since the last major renovation, we want to be sure
    our long-term financial health is sound to maintain Glenwood for future generations. Our capital reserve has grown to $163,450.
  • Our current loan balance with Sandy Spring Bank is $658,974 (original amount in 2004 was $1,000,000). At present pace, we expect the loan to be paid off in
    the summer of 2027.
  • Projected capital improvements for the 2015 season include clearing of the north section of property (above and to the right as you enter the grounds),
    refurbishment of chain-link fence and security wiring, a new back-up main pump, and re-leveling of concrete slaps in key areas. In addition, we will actively study feedback from the 2015 Membership Survey related the Grounds, Facilities and Recreation improvements.
  • 2015 Member Dues invoices will be mailed by the end of March. NOTE: In 2016, we will begin electronic invoicing; details to follow.
  • In order to avoid major member assessments periodically, we will continue our practice of a small increase in member dues to keep up with the steadily rising cost of doing business. Accordingly, the 2015 budget reflects a 3% increase in membership dues over 2014.

Family Unit Individual Family of 2 Family of 3 Family of 4 Family of 5+
2014 dues $355 $489 $607 $685 $736
2015 dues $366 $504 $625 $706 $758*

*An additional $25 is charged for each additional family member over 5.

The Clubs Board of Directors includes 11 directors elected for two-year teams. The Membership Director and one representative each from the Swim Team and Dive Team serve as non-voting members of the Board. Elections for five (even years) or six (odd years) open seats are held at the Annual Meeting.

In 2015, there are six board seats up for election. We want to take this opportunity to salute Board member Sandy Kweder, who is concluding her decades of service as she
begins a new professional assignment in London. Glenwood (and her plants) wont be the same without you, Sandy!

Below is the tentative slate of six Directors for election or re-election (as noted) for a two-year term concluding in 2017:

Class of 2015 (up for election for a two-year term through March, 2017)
Joe Carnell*
Leslie Flynn*
Chris Ginter (Vice President)*
Tim Hermans*
Dave Kreischer*
Karen Clark
*current board member

A note about candidate Karen Clark. Her name has been synonymous with the Glenwood Tigers Swim Team, for which she served as a Parent Team Rep from 2009  2014, taking it to new heights both in and out of the water, to its present place in Division D as one of the largest teams in the 90-team Montgomery County Swim League. Now that she will have her summers back as a retired Team Rep, Karen has expressed interest in rejoining the board.

Additionally, we present below the five Directors who continue serving their terms through 2016, as well as three appointed non-voting Board positions.

Class of 2016 (continue to serve through March, 2016)
Dave Coyne (Secretary)
Roland Schrebler
Steve Schrier
Brian Slattery (President)
Denise Weston (Treasurer)

Other Representatives (non-voting/ex-officio)
Dive Team Representative  Ramona Schreiber
Swim Team Representative  Roland Schrebler
Membership Director  Kathleen Enright

While nominations may be made from the floor during the Annual Meeting, if you would like to be nominated for the Board, we ask that you express your interest no later than
March 1 to Board President Brian Slattery ( If additional candidates surface by March 1, we will prepare a ballot for the Annual Meeting accordingly.

It takes hundreds of members to keep Glenwood healthy and strong, and there is no better example of team work than our annual Spring Clean-Up. Last year, we set a “modern
era” record, as more than 60 Glenwood members gave up a few hours on a Saturday to get our grounds and facilities prepped for Opening Day (this year on May 23).

YOU ARE GLENWOOD AND GLENWOOD NEEDS YOU! Please mark your calendar for May 2 & 3 (rain date May 9 & 10) and come to the Annual Meeting prepared to sign-up for one of the many important Clean-Up Day projects. If you cant make the meeting, well coordinate your involvement through an on-line Sign-Up Genius page coordinated by Board member Steve Schrier.

I hope to see you on March 12 as we conduct our business and prepare for another great summer at the Big G in 2015.  Please bring your copy of the proposed budget (also posted on the website). The Board and I will have more details about all of the items above, summer planning and, of course, will hold our annual raffle for FREE dues for
2015. In case of inclement weather, check for information about re-scheduling.

Brian Slattery

The fact that you could launch cannonballs from now until the heat death of the universe without seeing this effect at a scale you would typically notice is inconsequential, Newton equations are still merely a useful approximation and they are not isomorphic to the behavior of the noumenon.

living in between and the linguistic revelations of reverse culture shock

by Anna Blanch on April 3, 2012

I don’t write shopping lists the way I once did.

Some where along the way bell peppers replaced capsicum and courgettes for zucchini, Cilantro for Coriander, and although eggplant and aubergine are used interchangeably and snow peas will forever be snow peas and not mange tout. Do I say ‘one peter’ or ‘first peter’ – i don’t remember anymore. Gas and petrol, sidewalk, footpath, pavement, boot, trunk, trash, garbage, school, college, uni, grades, marks….cell, mobile…these words and what they signify have come to be jumbled in my head – I mirror the people I’m with, being more concerned about not causing them dissonance than hanging on to my own dialect anymore. Especially not in English. I can spell and use the appropriately different grammar in British, American and Australian English. Don’t get me started on my french or german, however (my accent in the latter particularly isn’t great) – there I just hold for dear life and hope I don’t look or sound like a fool.

It isn’t just the the language of the quotidian that has changed for me,  it s the realisation that I don’t instinctively know which way to look when I cross the street…so i look both ways, all the time. Even still, sometimes I second guess myself and hope I’ve looked the right way.

I am an inbetweener.

When I wake up in the morning it is late in the evening UK time and i hurriedly answer emails from colleagues so that projects can continue. The US is further behind, but this feeling of being ahead of the world is a slightly unsettling one – as if i’m waiting for them all to catch up to the day i’ve been enjoying – though slumbering – for a good 6 hours or more.

But it is probably the sounds of this land and this city that have struck me the most.

The sounds of the birds raucously heralding the day and bidding it farewell make it rare that there is silence. Silence that seemed to envelope the cottage-by-the-sea is almost a distant memory. The early hours of the morning, before the birds are awake or the trucks rumble on the nearby highway is a precious time.

The Australian accent has been ring in my ears and echoing in my the hollow chambers of my brain for the last ten days.

It is almost overwhelming…..and I have one.

Well, I have one of sorts.

As I’m asked, queried, if I’m English, Scottish, or still more commonly American I wonder when did my accent become this mangled.

Or is it?

Those close to me assure me that I still sound the same to them. But I think they’ve long stopped noticing I even have an accent.

Or have just grown used to my mangled mess of one.

To be honest, I can’t hear it.

But when I hear ‘this arvo’ or ‘mates’ or ‘sunnies’ or ‘breaky’ or a group of aussie men, blokes all, talking about the ‘footy being on later’ it slams against me. It is like a clanging between my ears.

The notion of being not being an expat and the transition of being an Australia who does in fact live in Australia is going to take some time, helped I hope by the traveling will will take me from the shores only to return me unceremoniously back again. Observing your own culture as an outsider is a rare bird indeed.

It feels unusual, but comforting to live in a place where my sister and I are noticed as sisters, that we look alike enough for people to notice this before they see us together, or even to confuse us for one another. It’s been half a decade since this kind of thing was even possible. So too, at the race registration the other day, when I noticed that another runner had the same surname. I was the only person in the last two cities I lived in – totalling close to 350,000 people – to have my last name. Small, though it is, and as distantly related as I might be to that other runner, it reminds me that this where i’m from.

In the meantime this Baylor bear is going to relish being able to work for home today so that I won’t bother anyone when I loudly cheer for the Baylor Lady Bears in their NCAA national championship game against Notre Dame. I wouldn’t miss it for anything, no matter what country I was in. At least being in Australia I don’t have to get up in the middle of the night to watch it!

Life: UnmaskedThought it feels like alot of my posts lately have been life unmasked! I warned you it might get a little Dear diary around here for a while, this post is actually officially my sixth Life Unmasked post for 2012. In addition to my fifth, Before the birds are awake, my fourth, Blessed are the encouragers, the third, Sleepless in the PhD wilderness, and second for this year, A naked theologian, you may find my last life:unmasked post for 2011, A journeywoman, and my first for 2012, I’m an inbetweener of interest. All my 2011 Life unmasked can be found on this handy list. You can thank Joy of Joy’s Journey for pushing me to get involved in this weekly foray into ‘writing naked.’

    Once, teaching in London, my wife told a kid who had washed his hands and couldn’t find a towel, to “just wipe them on your pants”. Who’d have thought the meaning could be so different!

    • Goannatree

       yeah that one i was still messing up on days before leaving scotland! It’s a fabulous way to offend old ladies at church accidentally!

      • Joy in this Journey

        What does that mean in London?!??

        • Goannatree

           While in the US pants = slacks/trousers, in the Uk, pants = undergarments. It can lead to some awkward situations, especially when speaking with someone who isn’t aware of the US definition of ‘pants’.

          • Joy in this Journey

            *smirk* That is hilarious. What do the English call pants? Trousers? Slacks (what a weird word for pants!)?

            Reminds me of a conversation I had with a Brit, telling him that what they call ‘crisps’ we simply called ‘chips’. He asked what we would then call hot chips… to which I replied, rather obviously: “hot chips” 😀

            and then there’s the conversation about jam……and jelly…and marmalade…

             Slacks is a word that gets used in australia for women’s trousers. of the three, *pants* is the only one that is used as a mild declamatory….that’s *pants* – it’s a quite polite way of saying something’s not good.

    • Goannatree

       oh no…

  • Joy in this Journey

    This is fascinating, Anna. I’m glad you’re writing it down. One of my friends just moved to Auckland and is learning all the little differences there. It will be interesting to see how it goes if/when she returns home.

    • Goannatree

       It’s an interesting proposition to write how I’m feeling down. It feels quite vulnerable – and i’m certainly not giving everything away – but it’s a good way to record how I’m feeling through the process. I’m sure you’re friend will deal with her own re-entry issues!

  • Bex Lewis

    I had a (female/English) friend who went to the States for a term, and some guy said could he sleep on her floor “I’ll keep my pants on” … She, very shocked, said “I hope you will” (or words to that effect) before realising what he meant! LOL!

    The ‘elephant in the room’: Thongs; Flip-Flops!

    • Goannatree

       To be honest, i never got used to flip flops. But, it was too cold to wear thongs/flip flops in scotland so that one never got me in trouble!

      • Findo

        beanies and singlets are not hats and vests, either.

        • Goannatree

           vests has an entirely different meaning for me, involving fleece!

            Right!  A Bonds ‘vest’ makes no sense.

Gavin showed up early to work the next morning; he was so excited to start the day. He couldn’t remember the last time he had gotten excited about coming to work. Heck, he couldn’t remember the last time he had gotten to work early. But today was different. Today he wasn’t showing up to work as “Gavin,” he was showing up as “Eileen!” He smiled as he glanced as her contact list -- which had all sort of helpful notes about upcoming projects as well. These next few days should prove to be very enlightening. And as for returning to the device to R&D, Gavin decided he should keep it himself for safekeeping!

In reality, there are numerous stress reduction techniques that could be utilized by any man or woman commonly suffering from above average and extremely high levels of stress and anxiety. The irony is that so many people who could and should be helping themselves from a health and wellness point of view are not able to do so. The best practice for them is to begin a process towards recovery through an initial stress reduction redmond wa consultation.

stress reduction redmond wa

This consultation is handled by a specialist medical practitioner. He or she could be a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist in residence. He or she could also be a specialist in the realm of alternative but holistically applied stress reduction techniques that has special resonance in the health and wellness scheme of events. The irony is that many people who suffer from high levels of stress and anxiety probably already know what they could or should be doing to rescue themselves.

But the fact remains that they are unable to do so. Owing to their highly stressed conditions, they can become disoriented and/or disillusioned. Basically they become confused. They lose their required sense of direction and are well-nigh lacking in discipline. It is not a case of handholding, spoon feeding or being treated with a pair of kid gloves.

But such specialist practitioners are armed with good guidance, motivational and coaching skills to help their distressed patients get back in the saddle of everyday life, as stressed as it is. While the hectic pace of everyday life is not destined to take a break, stressed out men and women can at least be taught to better handle their inbuilt coping mechanisms. And where necessary, a change of life could be advised.

Goodies at my Doorstep

I saw someone on Instagram with a door mat that pretty much summed up my week! It simply states: "Please Hide Packages From Husband". Yes, I definitely need one of those at home, especially around this time of year! You see, all of the things that I ordered the week of Black Friday came flooding in at the same time! Despite that fact that most items in each package were scored for around $30, that didn't quite assuage the fears of my husband as he witnessed the heaping mountain of packages (I am exaggerating for dramatic effect...a little, anyway) that the UPS, FedEx, DHL, and USPS men left over the course of the last few days!

A few of items that were left at my doorstep as of late include these goodies from J. Crew, namely my elephant print skirt, pom pom necklace, and velvet slingbacks. Not only was everything I ordered only around that $30 price range that I just mentioned, but all of the individual pieces seemed to match just perfectly! I hadn't planned on that! So I decided to throw my Thanksgiving sale finds together into this one look. I think this just goes to show that good things can come not only in small packages, but also many packages, much to the chagrin of husbands everywhere!

Skirt: J.Crew Ratti elephant skirt here and here
Sweater: Forever 21 similar here
Bag: Vince Camuto
Shoes: J. Crew velvet slingbacks here
Necklace: J.Crew Pom Pom necklace here
Sunglasses: Prada here

  1. That necklace and those shoes bring the look together wonderfully! Love this look x

  2. I absolutely adore all of your new purchases, Katie! The skirt is fabulous and I love the necklace and velvet shoes! Fantastic! XXX

  3. Great finds Katie! I feel exactly how you feel this week when all my supposed packages were to arrive! LOL I love your outfit color combo. Everything just fits together perfectly and though I don't wear any jewelry or accessories I have to say I am drawn to your necklace. It is so different from what I have seen and I kind of like it! I hope your morning is off to a great start!

  4. So cute! I love the shoes, skirt and necklace!
    Jeans and a Teacup

  5. I absolutely love this outfit! The necklace you chose pairs so nicely with your skirt, and I love that you chose a black shirt to tie it together. Plus, the pop of color from your clutch is so gorgeous.
    Thank you for linking up this week!

    ~xo Sheree

  6. That necklace is absolutely beautiful! I love that it compliments the skirt and shoes perfectly!

  7. I love this whole look especially the accessories. Perfection additions to an already perfect outfit

    Life is just Rosie

  8. I love everything about this outfit! The necklace is so pretty and the red clutch contrasts perfectly. My husband makes me feel guilty every time a parcel arrives - I intercept the delivery person and hide the packages whenever I can!

    Emma xxx

  9. It's impossible to say what I love more - that skirt or the statement necklace! :) The red clutch is a nice little touch of colour too.

    All my Christmas presents (and a few things for me....) have been arriving over the past few days. Luckily hubby is used to it and doesn't bat an eyelid, haha!

    Hope you are having a wonderful weekend and your Christmas preparation is going well. After a crazy week I managed to wrap some presents which is good, although (as always!) I've run out of tape!

    Away From The Blue Blog

Why I play WoW... still...

Tuesday, July 3, 2012

There are a TON of reasons why I love the game World of Warcraft. Go ahead, groan. Even I am aware of how absurd it is. But today I want to share one of the reasons I just can't let this game go... the scenery.  I promise I won't share in-game screenshots that often (if ever), but I don't think you have to play to appreciate the beauty.

(For those of you that actually play WoW... here's Giacometti's profile.)

1 comment:

  1. As much as the game has lost my interest as of late, I can never deny they knew what they were doing when it came to atmosphere.

It’s about helping the body to be comfortable and making sure every part is free to move.

Osteopaths believe that the relationship between the structure and function of the human body has an important bearing on the health of the individual.  Osteopaths are expert at identifying any restrictions in the human body structure which might be having a negative effect on the body’s function and be causing ill-health or pain.

Osteopaths are highly skilled at observing and feeling (palpating) mechanical and postural restrictions that may be causing pain and reduced function.

Osteopaths use their hands to help the body to realign itself.

As an experienced Osteopath, Gillian uses both Cranial and Structural Osteopathy to tailor a treatment plan for her patient’s body and lifestyle.  She focuses not just on the cause of the pain, but also the body’s postural and physiological adaptation – thus alleviating the maintaing factors that could cause the sypmtoms to linger.

Gillian’s Osteopathic treatment aims to remove tensions that block the body’s own path to wellness, allowing good health to flourish once more.

No matter what is going on with your health, an Osteopath can probably help you to be a little more comfortable.

In order for the Osteopath to assess you properly, you will be required to undress to your underwear.  Please wear sensible underwear – you can wear shorts or stretchy leggings/tracksuit pants.  Please let the Osteopath know if you are unhappy about disrobing – we will always try to accomodate your needs at Hersham Osteopathy.  You are most welcome to bring along a chaperone if it makes you feel more comfortable.

The first consultation takes about 1 hour, the Osteopath will:

–  take a detailed case history – please bring along any written reports of any scans and a list of any current medications.

–  undertake a postural or biomechanical assessment and any other relevant orthopaedic or neurological tests

–  examine you on the treatment plinth

–  provide you with a diagnosis, discuss your treatment plan with you and treat you with your consent

Subsequent, follow up treatments last from 30 to 45 minutes and will include a brief re-assessment and osteopathic treatment.

- How do you want to be remembered? Final words

Jim Lampley (born April 8, 1949) is an American  sportscaster, news anchor, movie producer, and restaurant owner. He has been in several television shows, but is better known for his participation in the HBO Boxing series (officially HBO World Championship Boxing). He works alongside Larry Merchant and Emanuel Steward in that series. Lampley has anchored a record 14 Olympic Games U.S. television broadcasts, most recently the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.
Lampley was born in Hendersonville, North Carolina. His father died when he was five. His mother immersed him in sports to make up for what she felt his father would have done. He was raised in Hendersonville and Miami, Florida.
He graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1971 with a degree in English and finished coursework in 1974 for a Master in Mass Communications also at UNC but never wrote his thesis because his career took off.
In 1974 while in graduate school, he was chosen along with Don Tollefson in what ABC called a talent hunt. ABC executives thought that Lampley's youthful looks would make him endearing to the college crowds they looked to attract for their college football games. At ABC, he covered such events as baseball games, the 1986-1987 Indianapolis 500, the 1977 Monon Bell game between DePauw University and Wabash College, five Olympics, as well as the program Wide World of Sports.
From 1983 to 1985, Lampley was the studio host of ABC broadcasts of the United States Football League (USFL), a spring league that featured stars such as Herschel Walker, Jim Kelly, Steve Young and Reggie White.
In 1985, Lampley along with Al Michaels served as anchors for ABC's coverage of Super Bowl XIX, the first Super Bowl that ABC televised. After the game, Lampley presided over the presentation ceremony for the trophy.

In 1987, Lampley moved to CBS and began a two year reign as anchor of ABC sports' coverage of the Indianapolis 500. At CBS, he took over duties as co-anchor on the daily news show in Los Angeles, and also was a correspondent. That same year, he began working for HBO, covering boxing and HBO's annual telecast of Wimbledon. He also attended the Albertville Olympics in 1992, as a news anchor for KCBS-TV.

In 1992, Lampley moved to NBC, where he helped cover the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, 1993 Ryder Cup, and the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. In 1993, Lampley took over studio hosting duties for Bob Costas on The NFL on NBC. Lampley moved to play-by-play duties for NBC's NFL telecasts the following year and was later replaced by Greg Gumbel. In 1995, he began working at the Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel HBO series. For his participation in that show, he has earned three Emmy awards. In 1998, he covered the Nagano Olympics and the Goodwill Games for Turner, and in 2000, he covered the Sydney Olympics, again for NBC.
In 2004, Lampley was the daytime anchor for NBC's Olympics coverage for the 2004 Summer Olympics, as well as anchoring the USA Network's coverage of the Games. In 2006, Lampley served as a central correspondent for the 2006 Winter Olympics which aired on the networks of NBC Universal. Torino 2006 was the 13th Olympics Lampley covered, surpassing the record set by America's original voice of the Olympics, Jim McKay. Lampley was again called upon to anchor for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, Lampley's 14th Games.

Most casual fans probably know Lampley best for his work on HBO World Championship Boxing show, and on the HBO pay-per-view telecast. As commentator in these shows, he has called some of boxing's most famous moments, such as Thunder Meets Lightning, when Julio César Chávez saved himself from a decision defeat by knocking out Meldrick Taylor (who was leading the fight on two of the three official scorecards) with only two seconds to go in the last round; James "Buster" Douglas's upset of Mike Tyson for the World Heavyweight championship. Other highlights in his career were the first Riddick Bowe-Andrew Golota fight at Madison Square Garden, where a riot occurred following the "Foul Pole's" disqualification for low blows, and the famous "It happened...IT HAPPENED!" call of George Foreman's miracle comeback against then heavyweight champion Michael Moorer when a straight right ended Morer's reign. Lampley is criticized by some viewers who see him as biased in favor of certain HBO "house fighters", while most enjoy his charisma and magnetic voice. In 1992, he won the Sam Taub Award for excellence in boxing broadcasting journalism.
Lampley also hosted a series called Legendary Nights in 12 installments in honor of HBO's three decades covering boxing in 2004, recounting 12 memorable fights broadcast on HBO in that timespan. He also hosted HBO's coverage of Wimbledon.

- Olympics Host: 1984 (Sarajevo), 1984 (Los Angeles), 1988 (Calgary), 1988 (Seoul), 1992 (Albertville), 1992 (Barcelona), 1994 (Lillehammer), 1996 (Atlanta), 1998 (Nagano), 2000 (Sydney), 2002 (Salt Lake City), 2004 (Athens), 2006 (Torino), and 2008 (Beijing)
- Boxing blow-by-blow: HBO World Championship Boxing, HBO Pay-Per-View, HBO Boxing After Dark (from premiere to April 2006 and sporadically afterwards)

Lampley's movie production company, Crystal Spring Productions, has produced a handful of movies, including 2000's Welcome to Hollywood. The company has plans of producing a movie about tennis player Pancho Gonzalez, with Benjamin Bratt in the leading role.
In addition to several minor credits as an announcer in films, in 2006, Lampley portrayed himself in the movie Rocky Balboa covering the new events in Rocky's career as well as the final match against Mason Dixon. He also appeared in the 2007 sports comedy films Blades of Glory starring Will Ferrell and Jon Heder, and Balls of Fury, with Christopher Walken.

In 2005 after Bush's re-election, Lampley began to avidly express his political views and began posting on The Huffington Post website, where he revealed his belief that George W. Bush stole the 2004 election through vote tampering in Ohio. Also on The Huffington Post, Lampley retracted a claim that American deaths in Iraq are several times higher than official reports after finding out his source was fraudulent.

Lampley was one of the first program hosts on New York's sports talk radio station WFAN. More recently, Lampley can often be heard on The Jim Rome Show as a substitute host. Rome has stated on several occasions that "Jim Lampley is the smartest guy in the Jungle." Lampley has also filled in for nationally-syndicated liberal talk radio host Ed Schultz.

Lampley married and divorced news anchor Bree Walker, with whom he has a son. He also has two older daughters from a previous marriage. Walker has a daughter from a previous marriage. Lampley lives in the San Diego, California area near his son. Lampley is the former owner of two restaurants in Utah, both of which were named the Lakota Restaurant and Bar. Lampley runs a production company with his ex-wife. In 2004, they announced on the Larry King Show that they were living together and planning to remarry, but they never did.
On January 3, 2007, Lampley was arrested for domestic abuse against fiancée Candice Sanders, Miss California USA 2003, by the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.[6] A restraining order was obtained, but in February 2007, he was charged with violating the restraining order by being within 100 yards of her apartment; Lampley pleaded no contest and was sentenced to three years' probation, a fine, a domestic violence counselling program and 40 hours' community service. The DA's office investigated and Lampley will not face charges for the alleged attack. Investigators found "insufficient evidence to prove it". Former spouse and news anchor Bree Walker said her relationship with Lampley led her to believe that "he's not capable of physical violence against anybody." "Jim has been a wonderful father to all four of his kids, and has been a generous husband and ex-husband", Walker said, "Any charges of battery would surprise me."

A Report from the Field 9

It was not long after this that the final piece of the puzzle fell into place in my mind. This occurred a little further up Medicinal Spring Road when I noticed Mrs. Cooper walking with two women, one of whom was the unknown woman in the Blue Dress and Purple Turban mentioned to us by Mr. Kelly!

This was the link I needed. Mrs. Cooper was the connection between the woman in Blue with Miss Waterman. I was more certain than ever that the woman in Blue had the packet in her possession, I glanced at the bulge in her reticule, it was the perfect size to be the packet.

I found Capt. Freymann again and told him of my suspicions and respectfully suggested that we assemble all the Acastas to make the arrest. We did that very thing and less than a quarter of an hour we were all gather'd and approached en masse as she took her ease at the Hickory Tavern atop the hill.

Capt. Freymann greeted the woman and asked that he might have a look in her reticule. She submitted to his request. I watched eagerly, knowing that Capt. Freymann would, any moment pluck our victory from her little bag.

Capt. Freymann sorts through the reticule.
But that moment of triumph did not come. Capt. Freymann's face fell as he searched. The reticule bore no packet!

I sort through the reticule, the Acastas assembled looking none too impressed.
The Captain passed the reticule down the table to me to have a look through, and I too found nothing!

I stood there for a long moment with the eyes of all the Acastas upon me. The failure of our mission seemed imminent and my heart dropped. I was CERTAIN that she was the American Spy, I looked at her and tried to discern where else the packet could possibly be?

I stood at the end of the table and it occurred to me.

I wonder madam if we might have a look underneath your great bonnet, asked I?

She took off her bonnet and there it was! She removed the packet from beneath the large headpiece.

Capt. Freymann gets the packet from the American Spy!
Back at the Acasta camp later that afternoon, Capt. Freymann burned the documents that had been contained within the packet to ensure that they could not be recaptured. He then sorted through the money from the packet and divided it up in the same manner as the Admiralty splits up prize money, and gave each man his share.

The Acastas spent our final hours in New Boston before breaking camp with full pockets and glad spirits that we had accomplished our mission for King and Country.

It is now back overland and a rendezvous with the Acasta for our merry band.

  1. Congratulations on the successful conclusion of the mission!

  2. Thanks! We had a blast playing, and the nice lady in the giant bonnet was a great sport, as is evidenced by the pictures.

50 billion years of evolutionary history threatened by human activity

Unique animals with long evolutionary histories are under increased threat of extinction around the world, according to a new study.

The study, led by ZSL and Imperial College London and published in Nature Communications, highlights species that should be priorities for conservation.

Our analyses reveal the incomprehensible scale of the losses we face if we don’t work harder to save global biodiversity. Rikki Gumbs

Many of these unique species live in areas that are facing unprecedented levels of human pressure from activities such as urban development, deforestation and road building, including the Caribbean, the Western Ghats of India, and large parts of Southeast Asia.

The team mapped the evolutionary history – how a species has evolved over time and which other species it is closely related to – of the world’s amphibians, birds, mammals and reptiles.

Because many species evolved side by side on separate branches of the evolutionary tree, the amount of cumulative evolutionary history represented by each group of animals can be incredibly large. For example, reptiles alone contain about 13 billion years of evolutionary history, which is about the age of the Universe.

In total, the team calculated that at least 50 billion years of evolutionary history is under threat across the animal group studied, and that this is likely to be an underestimate, as there are many species we don’t know enough about.

Incomprehensible scale of losses

Lead author Rikki Gumbs, of ZSL’s EDGE of Existence programme and the Science and Solutions for a Changing Planet Doctoral Training Partnership at Imperial College London, said: “Our analyses reveal the incomprehensible scale of the losses we face if we don’t work harder to save global biodiversity.”

Some of the greatest losses of evolutionary history will be driven by the extinction of entire groups of closely related species that share long branches of the tree of life, such as pangolins and tapirs, which also perform vital functions like seed dispersal and pest control in their local ecosystems.

Much of the loss will also be made up of highly evolutionarily distinct species that sit alone at the ends of extremely long branches, such as the ancient Chinese crocodile lizard (Shinisaurus crocodilurus), the shoebill bird (Balaeniceps rex), and the aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis), a nocturnal lemur with large yellow eyes and long spindly fingers.

You can explore where these animals sit on the tree of life with the OneZoom explorer, initially invented by study co-author Dr James Rosindell, from the Department of Life Science at Imperial.

This new study highlights priority species for conservation, based on their evolutionary uniqueness and the intense human pressure across the environments where they are thought to live. Many of these species are also a priority for ZSL’s EDGE of Existence programme, which works to conserve the world’s most evolutionarily distinct and threatened species from extinction.

Several weird and wonderful EDGE Species in the new study are urgent conservation priorities – including the punk-haired Mary River turtle (Elusor macrurus), the purple frog (Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis), and the numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus).

Gumbs added: “These are some of the most incredible and overlooked animals on Planet Earth. From legless lizards and tiny blind snakes to pink worm-like amphibians called caecilians, we know precious little about these fascinating creatures, many of which may be sliding silently toward extinction.”

Incredible and overlooked animals

The study also highlights many lesser known species as priorities for further research, with more than half of the priority lizards and snakes identified currently lacking adequate extinction risk data.

Jointly led by ZSL and Imperial College London – with the University of Oxford, Yale University, Tel Aviv University, Ben-Gurion University and On The EDGE Conservation – the study also identifies regions where concentrations of irreplaceable diversity are currently under little to no human pressure, particularly across the Amazon rainforest, the highlands of Borneo, and parts of southern Africa.

Dr Rosindell said: “Our findings highlight the importance of acting urgently to conserve these extraordinary species and the remaining habitat that they occupy in the face of intense human pressures.”

Global priorities for conservation of reptilian phylogenetic diversity in the face of human impacts’ by Rikki Gumbs, Claudia L. Gray, Monika Böhm, Michael Hoffmann, Richard Grenyer, Walter Jetz, Shai Meiri, Uri Roll, Nisha R. Owen & James Rosindell is published in Nature Communications.

Sunny Levine – Love Rhino

Published by at 12:08 am under MP3's,Pop

I came across Sunny Levine’s music a few weeks ago, and haven’t stopped listening since. He has a lot of influences, it’s hard to make an exact comparison to other musicians. Songs like “Relations” bring to mind Dave Matthews. Other songs remind me of Jack Johnson, but less acoustic based. At times, I also hear Beck a little. Even if you aren’t a fan of Matthews or Johnson, check out Levine. He has his own sound.

Levine’s recently released solo album, Rhino Love, is Californian electro/soul reggae/pop. I like most of the songs on the album, the only one I really dislike is the single for the album, “Daylight.” It sounds like a single. The rest of the songs range from decent to great. I’ve been listening to “Love Rhino” the most. I really like “Relations,” “Glass Jaw,” and the banjo in “Love On The Rocks.”

Sunny Levine is from Santa Monica, California. His family is deeply involved with the music industry, as his grandfather is Quincy Jones, his father is Stewart Levine (Simply Red, Joe Cocker, B.B. King, Dr. John, Minnie Ripperton, and Jamie Cullum), and his uncle is producer QD3 (Tupac Shakur, Ice Cube). Love Rhino is out on Quango Records. He was in the band Mata Hari for a short time a decade ago, but before releasing this solo album, has mostly been producing (The Happy Mondays, Mickey Avalon, Pete Yorn, and Hugh Masekela).
