ARR 3009 leads the Glacier Discovery north through an area known as Rainbow.
The 3009 was purchased new by the Alaska Railroad in 1976 and was rebuilt and repainted in 2001 (looks like that 'new' paint could use a touch up). ARR's GP40-2s have some interesting spotting features to include the L-shaped window on the conductor's side, red marker lights, and an extra set of lights on the roof.
The small channel which leads to the village city of Gaios on Paxos Island impresses every one with the natural fjord that is formed at its entrance by two small islets, the isled of Panagia (Blessed Virgin) and the islet of Agios Nicolas.
Paxos is just 10 km long and 4 km wide and the smallest of the main Ionian Islands, lying just 11 km from the southernmost tip of Corfu.
According to myth, Paxos was once part of Corfu, until Poseidon struck the southern tip of Corfu with his trident, causing a large chunk of the island to separate and float away and become Paxos, the site of his love nest shared with the lovely Amphytriti.
Paxos has no airport, can only be reached by ferry boat and therefore, has been able to protect itself from the strain of modern tourism. It is an island of endless olive groves. The eastern coastline of the island is gentle compared to the white impressive rocks sit vertically along the whole western coast. There, are also situated the famous blue caves. According to the legend, in the blue cave of Ypapanti, which is 1200m long and leads to the centre of the island, was situated the marble palace of Poseidon and Amphitriti.
The island has pursued a course through history which parallels that of Corfu. At the side of the larger island it fought against both pirate raids and Turkish attacks.
After the Byzantine Empire fell to the Crusaders, Paxos was claimed by the Venetians, who were to rule the island for more than 400 years. The Venetians had a strong influence on the developing landscape and culture of the island of Paxos – an influence which is still apparent today. Indeed, it was the Venetians who introduced a wide-scale programme of olive planting on the island.

The Tiger Warrior -- "The trail starts in the Roman ruins and leads to a shipwreck off the coast of Egypt. Soon the world’s top marine archaeologist, Jack Howard, and his team of scientific experts and ex-Special Forces adventurers are pushing their way through the mysterious jungles of India, following in the footsteps of a legendary band of missing Roman legionnaires. Meanwhile, at a remote lake in Kyrgyzstan, a beautiful woman has found evidence of a secret knowledge that has cost the lives of countless seekers through the centuries. And what Jack uncovers will lead him to dig not only into the ancient past but into his own family history. For over a century earlier his great-great-grandfather returned from an archaeological expedition in India forever traumatized by what he’d experienced. And in order to lay the past to rest, Jack will have to unearth an artifact that might have been better left buried—and with it a power that some of history’s most ruthless tyrants have sought to rule the world…." -- from www.amazon.com
This book was pretty decent. There was a little mystery left at the end but that worked for the storyline. All in all, I would recommend this one.

Crusader Gold -- "From the fall of the Roman Empire to the last days of Nazi power, marine archaeologist Jack Howard and his team of adventurers are hot on the trail of history’s most elusive and desired treasure: the lost golden menorah of Jerusalem. And what they discover could change the world forever….
Deep beneath the windswept waters near Istanbul, Jack and his crack team of experts have uncovered a surprising clue to the location of the fabled treasure plundered during the Crusades. Meanwhile, in a dusty cathedral library, someone unearths a long-forgotten medieval map. Together the two discoveries will solve an ancient mystery—and spark a race to stop a present-day conspiracy of staggering proportions.
From diving into the core of an arctic iceberg to the last stand of a Viking warship to an extraordinary revelation deep in the jungles of Central America, Jack is headed straight into a globe-spanning clash of civilizations, into an astounding underground labyrinth steeped in blood and horrors—and to a confrontation with a killer on a shattering crusade of his own." -- from www.amazon.com
This novel was pretty good too although I was a little disappointed in the ending and all the time spent describing more diving equipment and research vessel protocols (like in Gibbins' book "Atlantis"). This was the last book of his four that I read and I would have to say that his best is really "The Lost Tomb"

How to Fit a Car Seat on a Camel... -- "Have you ever struggled to dislodge a nostril-bound Cheerio while navigating the interstate at 70 miles an hour? Discovered exactly how many renditions of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” it takes for you to pull the car to the side of the road and weep? Or experienced just what happens when your miniature traveling companion pulls the “manual override” lever on the emergency exit door of a plane? You’re not alone. We all have memories of a hideous yet hilarious family trip.
Now you can read about some that make your trip look like a vacation with the Waltons.
Edited by Sarah Franklin, How to Fit a Car Seat on a Camel is an anthology of outrageous stories about the inherent misadventures that revolve around traveling with kids. Whether the trip is with newborn triplets or with moody teens, a road trip to the beach or a European vacation, each story will resonate with parents who hit the road or the tarmac with kids in tow." -- from www.amazon.com
This book was great...most of the stories were absolutely hilarious with a few very touching ones thrown in there. If you have ever traveled any distance with children, you will definitely recognize some of these situations. Two (very enthusiastic) thumbs up! :)

Used to have to hike to get to the top of Whistler Mountain...this was about the last time it happened - May of 1986 ... the boot pack up little whistler
This was a story I wrote years ago...
There's a long traverse up in the Whistler alpine area this year that leads from the top of the Saddle to Shale Slope. Shale Slope has lots of tracks on it but the big bumps that in recent years usually cover the run have yet to form. Skiers are getting up to the alpine on the Harmony Chair because the Peak Chair hasn't yet opened for the season. It's amazing what the lack of the Peak Chair does to the skiability of the alpine.
With only the Harmony lift open it's a fairly long traverse to Shale. Skiers actually have to work a little to get there and it's obvious that only a few skiers are willing to put in the work.
Once upon a time there was no Harmony Chair and no Peak Chair and the alpine area had a totally different character. Whistler Bowl, Glacier Bowl, Shale Slope, and West Bowl were not bump runs. On the right days they were back-country runs where skiers could convince themselves, with only a little effort, that they were up on an unserviced mountain, far away from civilization.
The T-bars have been around since Whistler opened. The early developers of the mountain rightly realized that access to the alpine was something that made Whistler special and the T-bars allowed access to that area. Skiers could ride to the top of the T's and then either ski down right beside them or, if the sign line was open, venture further. It was called the sign line because the sign said, "Attention. If you proceed beyond this point you leave the Whistler Mountain patrolled area. Steep slopes, hazardous terrain and uncontrolled avalanche danger. When skiing above this point you do so at your own risk." The sign meant what it said.
There was a very well-used low traverse that cut across Glacier Bowl and Whistler Bowl and finally cut across Shale Slope about three-quarters of the way up that run. It was often a pretty challenging traverse because there were lots of rollers and skiers had to commit to pretty high speeds along the route in order to stay high. It usually got pretty interesting as it snaked around the corner underneath Don't Miss.
If there were no slower skiers in front (because the traverse was almost always only wide enough for one skier at a time) and the skier was prepared to let the skis run it would take a little less than ten minutes to get to Shale Slope.
There was a high traverse as well and it, obviously, started and stayed higher than the lower traverse. It allowed for longer runs down Glacier and Whistler Bowl and required more effort, but that extra effort was usually rewarded by more untracked and more turns.
Skiers who really wanted the alpine experience got off the T-bar, traversed to the sign line, took off their skis, and hiked, yes, hiked, up Little Whistler. Hiking up Little Whistler took thirty to forty minutes. Unless the sign line had just opened there was usually a well-defined staircase cut into the snow made by previous skiers but it was still a grunt. Most who hiked up stopped for a few minutes to sit on the rocks at the top of Little Whistler, catch their breath, and socialize.
The Roundhouse used to seem a long way away from up there. As soon as hikers put on their skis and turned the corner at the top of Little Whistler to start the relatively flat traverse along the top of the mountain they felt like they were really in the mountains, away from the ski area, on their own. There were no buildings and no lifts to be seen. There was no ski area noise. There were no snivel stations. It was glorious
Skiers could choose to traverse along and drop into Glacier Bowl from the top, or continue along and drop into Whistler Bowl, or ski Burnt Stew (which had a hellishly long exit before the mountain cleared the traverse and began grooming it), or continue to West Bowl. Really adventurous types might head for Piccolo, Flute, or Oboe.
Because it required work to get there not a lot of people made the effort which meant that those who did were rewarded by lots of uncut powder lines. Depending on the day it could take four or five hours before all the obvious lines were skied and less popular, hidden lines could be found for days.
One of the best days in Whistler's alpine was the staff party the spring before the Peak Chair went in. The mountain closed, as it often does, in a blizzard. It snowed all the next day too but then the day after that, the day of the staff party, the weather cleared. It was a beautiful day. The party was held at Pika's and the T-bars were open.
The entire alpine was blanked by twenty-five centimeters of light, dry, uncut powder. A consensus decision was made that there would be no low traverse cut that day. When the sign line dropped, to the chant of "No low, no low, no low!" staff started cutting the high traverse. The first in line dropped into Glacier Bowl and cut lovely turns down the slope. Face shots all the way. Those behind continued on to find their own fresh. Because many staff were more interested in the party going on at Pika's than in skiing there were only around a hundred and fifty people skiing the bowls. They got fresh tracks all day long on uncut white slopes under a big blue sky. Those who were there will probably remember that day for the rest of their lives.
The next year the Peak Chair was running. Anyone who has waited in the Peak Chair corral for the lift to open knows what that scene is like and what happens to the alpine once the lift starts unloading public at the top on a powder day. Skiers riding up the Red Chair (which isn't even red anymore) who look over and see the Peak Chair opening know it's not even worth heading for the lift because everything will be skied out before they even get to the chair. The alpine area has become one big bump run. There are so many bumps up there that they now have to groom the Saddle.
The opening of the Harmony Chair provided even easier access to the alpine and allowed more skiers to get up there even faster. It also seemed to allow skiers to notice the area to the south. Piccolo and Flute now have a highway leading to them. Flute sports bumps when it hasn't snowed recently. Soon, rumor has it, there will be sleeping and eating yerts (a yert is a kind of mountain hut), a hot tub, and doubtless generators chugging away, at the bottom of Flute somewhere. This facility sounds like it will not be for the Gore-Tex and duct tape crowd but rather the corporate types from Fort Worth who can afford it. Is this the thin edge of the wedge? If they're going to run a hot tub they should be able to run Super Nintendo play stations. Why not get the corporate partners involved? Maybe they can be called the Nintendo 64 Yerts. Maybe one day there'll be a movie theatre on the top of Blackcomb, a climbing wall on Decker, a Nike store at the bottom of the Cakehole...
The alpine area continues to be developed. It has little of the back-country feel it once had. This was perhaps inevitable and from a certain perspective it is probably a good thing. People who never, ever would have made the climb can now stand on Whistler Peak and look over at the dramatic black pillar called the Tusk. They too can enjoy being at the top of the mountain. For many (judging by the line-up on the Peak Chair, especially on a sunny day) it's the best place on the mountain to be.
In a way it's just a matter of degree anyway. How much is too much? Whistler Peak was really only a back-country adventure when skiers like Stefan Ples were hiking from the valley to ski it. The T-bars began the development. The Peak and Harmony chairs just continued it. Doubtless there were those who considered the T-bars almost sacreligious when they first went in. And yet, in providing high-speed lift access right to the Peak, the alpine area changed in a fundamental way. It became just another part of the ski area, like all the rest, but with fewer trees. Ultimately it was just too good to last, too wonderful to remain the terrain of those willing to work for it. It became a victim of itself.
Nothing is certain in the life except change. What happened to the alpine is a lot like what happens to some small towns. People are attracted by the laid-back people and small-town feel. The empty parking lots, uncrowded stores, and absence of bylaws are charming. They move so they can enjoy the lifestyle. More and more people move in for the same reasons and then, one day, the very thing they moved for has disappeared.

First lady Michelle Obama leads a reenactment planting of a Cherry Blossom Tree on the 100th Anniversary of The National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C.
It was March 27, 1912, when First Lady Helen Herron Taft and Viscountess Chinda, wife of the Japanese ambassador, planted the first two trees from Japan on the north bank of the Tidal Basin in West Potomac Park.
For the March 27th 2012 planting First Lady Michelle Obama planted her tree in West Potomac Park, the closest cross streets to this planting location would be Ohio Drive SW at West Basin Drive SW.
Remarks by the First Lady at the National Cherry Blossom Festival Centennial Tree Planting Ceremony
Tidal Basin
Washington, D.C.
11:22 A.M. EDT
MRS. OBAMA: Thank you. Thank you so much, it is a true pleasure to be here on this beautiful, little chilly day. (Laughter.) We planned it. This is the only cold day of the week, and we are here. But I am pleased to be here.
I want to start by thanking Secretary Salazar for that very kind introduction, and for all of his outstanding work as Secretary of the Interior.
I want to thank and recognize Ambassador Fujisaki, as well as Mrs. Fujisaki, who are here today. Thank you all so much, I know you're here somewhere -- oh, you're here. (Laughter.) It's good to see you both. And I want to thank all of you for taking the time to join us for this historic event.
We have come together to celebrate these beautiful cherry blossom trees -- and yes, they were blooming last week. We were so close. (Laughter.) But I think the tree we're planting will -- still has a few blooms, but they are beautiful. And we are here to honor all that they stand for. For so many years, these trees have served as a symbol of the great friendship between the United States and Japan, and as a reminder of our shared hopes, dreams and aspirations.
People from both of our nations worked together for years to bring these trees here to Washington. And over the past century, people of all ages from the U.S. and Japan and so many other nations have come to this Tidal Basin each spring to marvel at their beauty. And year after year, even after the coldest, darkest, stormiest winters, these trees have continued to bloom.
So on this historic anniversary, we don’t just admire the beauty of these trees, we also admire their resilience. And in so doing, we are reminded of the extraordinary resilience of the Japanese people. Over the past year, we have all witnessed their courage, unity and grace as they have come together and begun the very hard work of rebuilding their nation.
And I think that that more than anything else is the lesson that we can learn from these trees. They teach us about all that we can achieve together. And because people from both of our nations came together, this landscape was transformed. And for one hundred years, people from every background and every walk of life have come here to experience, truly, the magic of these trees.
No matter who you are, their beauty stirs our souls. No matter where we’re from, being here among these beautiful blossoms truly lifts our spirits. And that is why we invited all of these wonderful children to join us -- where are the children? There they are. (Applause.) They are here because we want them to learn this lesson as well; we want to pass this lesson onto them. We want to teach them about the great partnership between our nations and what that means for our shared future. We want to teach them to appreciate and learn from the traditions and cultures of others.
And we want them to be inspired by the example of our friends in Japan who have worked so hard and who have been so brave in rebuilding their lives. Because in the end it will be up to them, this next generation, to continue that great friendship. It will be up to them to carry these traditions forward so that one hundred years from now, their children and grandchildren will be able to come here to this very spot and see the tree that we will plant, full grown and in full bloom.
And I hope that on that day, the First Lady –- or the First Gentleman –- of 2112 will also have the privilege of joining with our friends from Japan, and planting another tree which will bloom for yet another one hundred years and beyond.
So with that, I want to once again thank you all for joining us today, and bearing the frigid cold. If you stick around for one more day, it will be 80 tomorrow, I guarantee you. (Laughter.) It's really nice weather here. But we are truly honored to have you here, and it's a pleasure to be able to join in this very special occasion.
And with that, I think it is time for us to plant a tree. (Applause.)

Spofforth Castle was originally an 11th century fortified manor house, founded by William de Percy. In the early 13th century, the Percy family added a stone hall house, of which the undercroft remains, set against a sandstone outcrop.
In 1309, King Edward II granted, Henry, Lord Percy of Alnwick, a licence to crenellate and he founded the quadrangle castle. Sadly only the west range remains, of two storeys, with a hall and a chamber block, flanked by a polygonal stair turret.
The first floor hall, was modernised in the 15th century and leads directly on to the low eastern platform, which supports the buried remains of the other ranges.
The castle is owned by English Heritage but is free to visit and open daily.
Spofforth Castle History by R. J. A. Bunnett
In 1067, the year before the earliest visit of William the Conqueror to York, William de Percy, the first of the English line (nicknamed ‘Aux Gernons' - the Bewhiskered: Algernon has since been a favourite name in the family), arrived in this country from Normandy. De Percy was a man of powerful physique and strength of mind and greatly esteemed by the King, who gave him no less than 86 Lordships in Yorkshire, including Spofforth, Bolton Percy, Tadcaster, Cowthorpe and Wetherby.
The Spofforth parish covered a very large area, and here the young Norman established his headquarters, which thus became the original English home of the famous de Percy family. Within ten years, William converted a desolate waste into a fertile pasture. Doomsday book related that ‘Spawford' (i.e. the ford by the Spaw) was a manor held by Gamelbar, and that William de Percy had 4 ‘carucates' of land, 9 ‘villanes', and 10 ‘bordars'. The name of Gamelbar appears on several occasions in doomsday, and he undoubtedly must have been a man of some substance as he held extensive possessions in the Forest of Knaresborough. These were fortified at the conquest and a number of his manors were granted to Giselbert of Gilbert Tyson, another follower of William I and ‘great standard-bearer of England'.
At Spofforth, where for 300 years the family led the life of feudal barons, de Percy built a manor house probably rather by way of residence than for defence. This would probably have consisted of a hall surrounded by a wooden palisade, with one or two outbuildings.
There is an unconfirmed tradition that Richard de Percy, the head of the house, and one of the leading signatories of Magna Carta, held a meeting of the insurgent barons at Spofforth where the provisions of the Charter were drawn up in 1215. In 1224 Henry III granted license to William de Percy of the day to hold a market every Friday in the town of Spofforth.
Towards the close of the thirteenth century, the direct Percy line became extinct, and the present branch of the family owes its descent to the union of Lady Agnes de Percy, sole inheritor of the vast family estates and Josceline de Louvain, Duke of Brabant, a direct descendant of Charlemagne. The marriage was arranged, however, only on the prospective bridegroom agreeing to take the name of Percy.
Their son Henry, the first of a long line of de Percy ‘Henries', obtained from Edward II in 1308 a licence to fortify his house at Spofforth and probably at this time he began the extensive alterations and additions visible in the present building. The next year Henry purchased the Manor of Alnwick, Northumberland, from the Bishop of Durham. The family had then been established in Yorkshire for nearly 250 years before they began their more northern connection, and such place names as Bolton-Percy, Kilnwick Percy and Wharram Percy, and the exquistily sculptured Percy shrine in Beverly Minster, testify to their power and influence, and to the once vast extent of their possessions in the country. Henry de Percy also built a residence in Topcliffe, near Thirsk, the earthworks of which can still be clearly seen, alongside the Norman motte and baily castle.
It seems as if the Percies always preferred comfort and convenience to military strength and thus they lavished their wealth on building manor houses. Spofforth, of which there is no further record of renovation until 1559, was never more than a fortified residence, in contrast with the grim fortresses which other Yorkshire barons erected for their defence of the fiefs e.g. Pontefract, Consiborough, Helmsley, and Richmond. Wressle Castle was the greatest of their Yorkshire dwellings - a magnificent palace built by Sir Thomas Percy between 1370 and 1390, where the family, when in residence, kept almost royal state until the sixteenth century. As they obtained prominence and power in Northumberland, the importance of Spofforth as a residence gradually declined.
In 1377 Henry, Baron Percy, 4th Lord of Alnwick, was created Earl of Northumberland. Thirty-one years later the family lost possession of Alnwick and also of Spofforth, when the Earl, in a fruitless endeavour to retrieve the fallen fortunes of his son, the renowned Harry Hotspur, was killed at Bramham Moor in rebellion against Henry IV. His estates were conferred upon Sir Thomas Rokeby, Sheriff of Yorkshire, who commanded the royal forces. Hotspur, who was slain at the battle of Shrewsbury in 1403, is said to have been born at Spofforth.
A little later the Percies recovered their properties, but the 3rd Earl with Sir Richard, his brother and Sir William Plumpton, the Chief Steward of the Lordships at Spofforth, lost the lives at Towton in 1461, among thousands of other Lancastrians.
The Yorkists under the Earl of Warwick marched to Spofforth, plundered the countryside and burnt the castle. Leland states in his intineary, ‘The manor house was sore defaced in the time of the Civil War between Henry the Sixth, and Edward Fourth by the Earl of Warwick, and the Marquis of Montacute'.
The story runs that the heir to the now hunted Percies, a minor, was smuggled away and brought up by peasants (a similar tale is told of the heir of the clifford of Skipton Castle); but nine years after Towton, the family were reinstated in their possessions, which had meanwhile been held by the earl of Warwick.
The young heir later married the daughter of Lord Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke; but in 1489 he was murdered at his home at Topcliffe by an angry mob, and for close on one hundred years Spofforth Castle remained neglected. In 1559 however, it was restored by another Henry, Lord Percy, who made the place an occasional residence. Probably by this time it was regarded as too insignificant for the growing importance of the family, and Alnwick being now the main Percy seat, they practically deserted Yorkshire.
Spofforth, c 1600, was the home of Sampson Ingleby, steward of the family; but after his death, four years later , there is no record of further habitation, and the castle was finally reduced to ruins during he civil war.
In 1670 on the death of Joceline, 11th Earl of Northumberland, Spofforth with the other ‘Percy' Yorkshire estates passed into the possession of his daughter, the Duchess of Somerset. Her eventual descendant dying without male issue, the inheritance came to his nephew Sir Charles Wyndham.
The Percy arms are to be seen on the chancel wall of the village church.
Not Really a Castle ...
The Ministry of works taking responsibility for the Castle in 1925 described it merely as a Fortified Manor. The ‘manor House' would have been primarily for residence rather than defence; a wooden balustrade would have surrounded the hall with one or two outbuildings forming a courtyard
‘Indeed it seems likely from the general Percy practice and evidence of the irregular surface of what I still called Manor Garth that the present building is only one side of original four square enclosure!!' (extract from The History of Spofforth by William Grange Topographer 181-1896)

Description by O. J. Weaver and R. Gilyard-Beer
The castle stands on the west side of the village, on a small plateau of slightly higher ground that slopes gently towards Castle Street on the east side but, on the west, ends abruptly in a rocky outcrop against which part of the castle has been built. Also, on the west side are two small streams, one very close to the castle itself, which no doubt afforded a measure of protection, but the original aspect on this side has been changed out of recognition by the massive embankment of a now disused railway line.
Originally, the castle would probably have consisted of a number of buildings grouped round a courtyard. All that remains now is a western range, a two-storeyed building which, owing to the difference in levels appears from the east to be of one storey only. This range contained the principal apartments of the castle, the hall at the south end and the private chambers of the lord and his family at the north.
The oldest surviving part of the castle, however, is the undercroft below the hall, dating probably form the first half of the thirteenth century. It uses the rocky outcrop as its fourth wall and has four single light windows in the west wall, one in both the north and south walls and two opposing entrances, also in the north and south walls. There is a third doorway at the north end of the east wall, reached through means of steps from the courtyard cut through the rock and originally there was a similar stairway, now blocked, at the south end.
In the fourteenth century, a stone vault was inserted in the undercroft. This has since disappeared but the stumps of its supporting columns survive as well as a number of wall corbels, two of which are built into masonry blocking original windows. At the same time as this alteration, the hall above was either wholly or partly rebuilt and, at the north end, a large solar block was added, thereby blocking a window at the north wall of the undercroft.
The principal room on the ground floor of this new building is on the north side and has the remains of a stone vault, a fireplace in the centre of its north wall and windows in its north and west walls, the one in the west wall having been altered subsequently to form a doorway. At the north east corner there is a doorway to a smaller, subsidiary chamber, and a second doorway at the south-west corner leads to the adjoining room on the south, which is also vaulted and must have served as a form of lobby. Originally, it had a doorway in the west wall with a window above, the doorway being later blocked and the window altered. The third and smaller doorway in the large chamber leads to a newel staircase in the corner turret giving access to the rooms above.
On the upper floor of the solar block there is, as below, a large chamber on the north side with three handsome two-light windows and a doorway in the north east corner to a subsidiary chamber containing a garderobe at the north end of its east wall. The pit of this garderobe may be seen at the foot of the wall. There is no evidence now of a fireplace but this may have been in the vanished south wall of the main chamber or, alternatively there may have been a central hearth.
The room between this large chamber and the hall was probably at first a chapel with a richly moulded window in its west wall, but there is evidence that it was converted later into a chamber with a garderobe in the thickness of the east wall. Also on the east side is a passage, now mostly destroyed, which gave access from the hall to the upper rooms of the solar block.
The hall in its present form is mainly fifteenth century. Nothing survives of the original hall, which is probably smaller in width, and all that remain of the fourteenth-century alterations are the south wall and the doorway and adjoining masonry in the north east corner. The east and west walls with their large two light windows are fifteenth century and so is the greater part of the north wall which has the remains of a fireplace at its centre. At the north end of the west wall is a garderobe reached by means of a wall passage from the most northerly of the four windows.
The entrance to the hall is at the south end of the east wall and, next to this, there is a doorway of sixteenth century date, which probably led to the now vanished buttery and kitchens.
On the east wall of the solar block are the marks of later farm buildings, now removed, which represent the last phase of the castle's occupation.
East again, the ground is generally uneven and here there may be foundations of other buildings of which ate present nothing is known.

SOO GP38-2 4401 leads Canadian Pacific's afternoon Glendale Transfer northbound onto the North Milwaukee spur at Grand Ave Interlocking. The spur–a remnant of Milwaukee Road's old Superior division to Green Bay and beyond–diverges from the Watertown subdivision mainline here. The covered hopper cars on the head end are probably destined for Miller Brewing Company, just north of here, while the trailing auto frame flatcars are headed back to Tower Automotive (formerly AO Smith) to be reloaded. Within the next few years, the once sprawling Tower Automotive complex will layoff the last few hundred workers and close for good, bringing another chapter of Milwaukee's rich industrial heritage to a close. Today, Wisconsin & Southern Railroad leases and operates this trackage, which connects with its own Northern Division at North Milwaukee.

Brint Dillingham (right) leads a small group of pickets outside the Justice Department in Washington, D.C. September 24, 1969 protesting the trial of the Chicago 8.
The demonstration was sponsored by the Washington Committee to Support the Conspiracy and coincided with the opening day of the trial in Chicago.
The eight were Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Bobbie Seale, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, John Froines, and Lee Weiner charged by the federal government with conspiracy, inciting to riot, and other charges related to anti-Vietnam War and countercultural protests that took place in Chicago, Illinois, on the occasion of the 1968 Democratic National Convention.
The eight represented a wide range of viewpoints from Yippie to Black Panther. Panther Bobby Seale’s trial was eventually severed from the other defendants after repeated outbursts in court protesting Judge Julius Hoffman’s refusal to permit Seale to select his own attorney.
Hoffman bound and gagged Seale in court for a period before severing his case from the rest
The remaining seven were ultimately convicted of some of the lesser charges and sentenced to jail for the convictions and, along with their attorneys, sentenced to jail for multiple counts of contempt of court.
All charges were eventually voided upon appeal except some of the contempt citations that resulted in no jail time.
J. Brinton "Brint" Dillingham (1943-1990) -- Known for his wit even in the face of tense situations; for his organizing skills in antiwar, civil rights and social justice campaigns from the mid-1960s on; for his research on behalf of Native Americans and unjustly accused criminal defendants; for his role in overturning two notorious Maryland anti-civil liberties laws,
Dillingham in his short life was one of D.C.'s and suburban Maryland's most effective activists -- and, certainly, the funniest. In the 1969-1971 period alone, Brint was arrested more than 70 times for antiwar and anti-racism actions. Brint was one of the key D.C. area organizers of the May Day 1971 antiwar protests, which resulted in some 13,000 arrests over a several-day period in D.C.
His investigation in support of a D.C.-area African American man facing execution in Pennsylvania for the murder of a white woman resulted in the death sentence being overturned and in the ultimate exoneration of the prisoner.
Deliberately arrested, and then convicted, for selling copies of an underground newspaper deemed "obscene" by Montgomery County, Md. police, Brint's case eventually resulted in his exoneration and the overturning of the Maryland anti-subversion law by the state's high court.
He was director of Compeers, Inc., a metropolitan-wide organization that established anti-racism training for suburban teenagers, and that helped to organize locally the grape boycott, antiwar protests and the Poor People's Campaign.
He was also co-founder of the People's Law Institute, and organized a coalition that lobbied successfully to overturn key portions of the onerous "indeterminate sentencing" practices at Maryland's Patuxent Institution. [National Lawyer's Guild D.C. Chapter Community Justice Award, Feb. 28, 1985]

The Maria-Theresien street, named after Empress Maria Theresia, is a broad, slightly curved boulevard and commercial street and a central street of Innsbruck, which dates back to the first city expansion in the 13th century. It is one of the busiest streets in the city.
Course
The road runs with a length of about 490 m slightly curved in north-south direction. The northern end forms the intersection with Castle Moat and Market Moat, beyond which leads the Herzog-Friedrich street in the old town. The southern end of the road and the border with Wilten form the Gate of Victory (Triumphal Gate) at the intersection with Maximilian street and Salurn street. The continuation to the south is the Leopold street. Branches cross the Anich street to the west and the Meran street to the east. Passages exist in the east to Sparkassen square and Landhaus square and in the west by the Town Hall Gallery to Adolf-Pichler square.
History
The new town around 1840
The Maria-Theresien street around 1898
The original city of Innsbruck, founded in 1180, soon grew beyond its border formed by city walls and moats (today's Old Town). Along the arterial road heading south to Wilten and on to Brenner, a suburb developed. This settlement, known as nova civitas ("New Town"), originally belonged to the Hofmark court of the Wilten Abbey. On June 5, 1281, Count Meinhard II concluded a treaty with Wilten Abbey, in which, in returm for the exemption from the wine duty, the judiciary on the Neustadt (New Town) from Stift Wilten came to the city of Innsbruck. At that time, however, the area did not reach the Triumphal Gate, which later formed the border between Innsbruck and Wilten, but reached the height of what is today the Old Landhaus (Regional Parliament). There, at the end of the "inner New Town", stood the Upper Gate or Georgentor, which was first mentioned in 1350 and was abolished in 1570. The part south of it (the "outer New City") is attributed only from about 1440 the city of Innsbruck.
In 1315, with the support of Duke Henry of Carinthia and Tyrol, the city's Holy Spirit Hospital was founded at the beginning of New Town, which, as was customary at that time, was located outside the city walls and still reminds the Hospital Church.
In the first few centuries, the loosely built New Town contained mainly craft and commercial enterprises, especially those involved in carriage, such as wainwrights, smiths, saddlers or carpenters. The houses were usually made of wood, after a major fire in 1620 they were allowed to be built by order of the government only of stone. As a result, a closed development developed and with the settlement of high officials and noble families, the magnificent buildings today in the Baroque and Rococo style emerged, such as 1679-1690 the Taxis Palace or 1744-1749 the Palais Lodron. Many of the buildings were designed by representatives of the builder family Gumpp.
1706 was built in thanksgiving for the withdrawal of the Bavarian troops after the Bavarian Rummel in the middle of the road, the Saint Anna's column. The Saint Anna's column was surrounded on both sides by fountains, the fountain of Saint Joseph in the north from 1709 to 1870 and the fountain of Saint Joachim in the south from 1706 to 1732 (today in the Waltherpark in St. Nikolaus). On the occasion of the wedding of Archduke Leopold with the Spanish princess Maria Ludovica of Spain in Innsbruck in 1765, the triumphal arch was erected at the southern end of the new town and the moat filled. In 1897, the town hall was relocated here from the old town.
On December 22, 1873, the citizens' committee (local council) decided to rename the new town in Maria-Theresien street "in memory of its old name Theresian New Town and in consideration of the it closing triumphal arch". From 1891 the initially steam-powered Innsbruck-Hall local train ran through the Maria-Theresien street in Tyrol, and from 1905 also electric inner-city tram lines.
In 1978, the city of Innsbruck and the province of Tyrol declared the Maria Theresien street a conservation zone in which every demolition of a building is prohibited. In an amendment of the Stadtkern- and Ortsbildschutzgesetzes (law for the protection of urban character and downtown area) this was revoked in 2003, however. When the demolition of three buildings was threatened for the new building of the Tyrol department store, the Federal Monuments Office placed the street under Ensemble protection in 2006. The city of Innsbruck convened against it and after heated controversy, especially on the architecture of the planned new building Minister of Culture Claudia Schmied raised the ensemble protection. As a result, three buildings were demolished and replaced in 2010 by a new building.
From 2006 to 2009, the area north of the Anich street was converted into a pedestrian zone. The road with different paving was designed square-like. Since then, the tram has been routed through Anichs street and Castle Moat. The southern section, which is still open to public transport, was also redesigned by 2011.

As the main street of Innsbruck, Maria-Theresien street frequently served marches and rallies, such as in the Tyrolean freedom struggle in 1809, during the invasion of German troops after the Annexation of Austria in 1938 or 1945, when Innsbruck was the only major city in the Third Reich to be handed over to the Allied troops without a fight by native regime opponents.
Since the end of the 19th century, the Maria-Theresien street has been an important public transport corridor, which has been crossed by all inner-city tram lines and many bus lines. Today trams and buses drive only through the traffic-calmed section south of Anich street, the northern part was transformed from 2006 to 2009 to the pedestrian zone.
Along the street you will find important facilities such as the Town Hall and the Landhaus as well as numerous shops and shopping centers (Kaufhaus Tyrol, Rathaus-Galerien). With a pedestrian frequency of more than 30,000 people per day, it is one of the six most attractive shopping streets in Austria. It is also used for events such as a Christmas market was in use as Fan Mile at the 2008 European Football Championship.
Die Maria-Theresien-Straße, benannt nach Kaiserin Maria Theresia, ist eine breit angelegte, leicht gekrümmte Pracht- und Geschäftsstraße und ein zentraler Straßenzug Innsbrucks, der auf die erste Stadterweiterung im 13. Jahrhundert zurückgeht. Sie ist eine der am stärksten frequentierten Straßen der Stadt.
Verlauf
Die Straße verläuft mit einer Länge von rund 490 m leicht gekrümmt in Nord-Süd-Richtung. Das nördliche Ende bildet die Kreuzung mit Burggraben und Marktgraben, jenseits davon führt die Herzog-Friedrich-Straße in die Altstadt. Den südlichen Abschluss der Straße sowie die Grenze zu Wilten bildet die Triumphpforte an der Kreuzung mit Maximilianstraße und Salurner Straße. Die Fortsetzung nach Süden ist die Leopoldstraße. Als Querstraßen zweigen versetzt die Anichstraße nach Westen und die Meraner Straße nach Osten ab. Durchgänge bestehen im Osten zum Sparkassenplatz und zum Landhausplatz und im Westen durch die Rathausgalerien zum Adolf-Pichler-Platz.
Geschichte
Die Neustadt um 1840
Die Maria-Theresien-Straße um 1898
Die ursprüngliche Stadt Innsbruck, 1180 gegründet, wuchs schon bald über ihre durch Stadtmauern und -graben gebildete Grenze (die heutige Altstadt) hinaus. Entlang der Ausfallstraße Richtung Süden nach Wilten und weiter zum Brenner entwickelte sich eine Vorstadt. Diese Siedlung, als nova civitas („Neustadt“) bezeichnet, gehörte ursprünglich zum Hofmarkgericht des Stiftes Wilten. Am 5. Juni 1281 schloss Graf Meinhard II. mit dem Stift Wilten einen Vertrag, in dem gegen eine Befreiung vom Weinzoll die Gerichtsgewalt über die Neustadt vom Stift Wilten an die Stadt Innsbruck kam. Das Gebiet reichte damals aber noch nicht bis zur Triumphpforte, die später die Grenze zwischen Innsbruck und Wilten bildete, sondern etwa bis zur Höhe des heutigen Alten Landhauses. Dort, am Ende der „inneren Neustadt“, stand das Obere Tor oder Georgentor, das 1350 erstmals erwähnt und 1570 abgebrochen wurde. Der Teil südlich davon (die „äußere Neustadt“) wird erst ab etwa 1440 der Stadt Innsbruck zugerechnet.
1315 wurde mit der Unterstützung Herzog Heinrichs von Kärnten und Tirol am Beginn der Neustadt das städtische Heilig-Geist-Spital gegründet, das, wie damals üblich, außerhalb der Stadtmauern lag und an das heute noch die Spitalskirche erinnert.
In den ersten Jahrhunderten befanden sich in der nur locker verbauten Neustadt hauptsächlich Handwerks- und Gewerbebetriebe, insbesondere solche, die mit dem Fuhrwesen zu tun hatten, wie Wagner, Schmiede, Sattler oder Tischler. Die Häuser waren in der Regel aus Holz, nach einem Großbrand 1620 durften sie auf Anordnung der Regierung nur noch aus Stein errichtet werden. In der Folge entwickelte sich eine geschlossene Verbauung und mit der Ansiedelung von hohen Beamten und adeligen Familien entstanden die heute das Straßenbild prägenden Prachtbauten im Barock- und Rokokostil, so etwa 1679–1690 das Taxispalais oder 1744–1749 das Palais Lodron. Viele der Bauten wurden von Vertretern der Baumeisterfamilie Gumpp entworfen.
1706 wurde als Dank für den Abzug der bayrischen Truppen nach dem Bayrischen Rummel in der Mitte der Straße die Annasäule errichtet. Die Annasäule war auf beiden Seiten von Brunnen umgeben, dem Josefsbrunnen im Norden von 1709 bis 1870 und dem Joachimsbrunnen im Süden von 1706 bis 1732 (heute im Waltherpark in St. Nikolaus). Anlässlich der Hochzeit von Erzherzog Leopold mit der spanischen Prinzessin Maria Ludovica von Spanien in Innsbruck 1765 wurde am südlichen Ende der Neustadt die Triumphpforte errichtet und der Stadtgraben zugeschüttet. 1897 wurde das Rathaus aus der Altstadt hierher verlegt.
Am 22. Dezember 1873 beschloss der Bürgerausschuss (Gemeinderat) die Umbenennung der Neustadt in Maria-Theresien-Straße „in Erinnerung an ihre alte Bezeichnung theresianische Neustadt und mit Rücksicht auf die sie abschließende Triumphpforte“. Ab 1891 verkehrte die zunächst dampfbetriebene Lokalbahn Innsbruck–Hall in Tirol durch die Maria-Theresien-Straße, ab 1905 auch elektrische innerstädtische Straßenbahnlinien.
1978 wiesen Stadt Innsbruck und Land Tirol die Maria-Theresien-Straße als Erhaltungszone aus, in der jeder Abbruch eines Gebäudes verboten ist. Bei einer Novellierung des Stadtkern- und Ortsbildschutzgesetzes wurde dies 2003 jedoch widerrufen. Als für den Neubau des Kaufhauses Tyrol der Abriss dreier Gebäude drohte, stellte das Bundesdenkmalamt die Straße 2006 unter Ensembleschutz. Die Stadt Innsbruck berief dagegen und nach heftigen Kontroversen insbesondere um die Architektur des geplanten Neubaus hob Kulturministerin Claudia Schmied den Ensembleschutz auf. Daraufhin wurden drei Gebäude abgerissen und 2010 durch einen Neubau ersetzt.
Von 2006 bis 2009 wurde der Bereich nördlich der Anichstraße in eine Fußgängerzone umgewandelt. Die Straße wurde dabei mit unterschiedlicher Pflasterung platzartig gestaltet. Die Straßenbahn wird seither durch Anichstraße bzw. Burggraben geführt. Der südliche Abschnitt, der nach wie vor dem öffentlichen Verkehr zur Verfügung steht, wurde bis 2011 ebenfalls neu gestaltet.

Nutzung
Bus und Straßenbahn in der südlichen Maria-Theresien-Straße
Als Hauptstraße Innsbrucks diente die Maria-Theresien-Straße häufig Aufmärschen und Kundgebungen wie etwa im Tiroler Freiheitskampf 1809, beim Einmarsch deutscher Truppen nach dem Anschluss Österreichs 1938 oder 1945, als Innsbruck als einzige Großstadt des Dritten Reichs von einheimischen Regimegegnern kampflos an die alliierten Truppen übergeben wurde.
Seit dem Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts war die Maria-Theresien-Straße eine wichtige Verkehrsachse für den öffentlichen Verkehr, die von allen innerstädtischen Straßenbahnlinien und vielen Buslinien durchfahren wurde. Heute fahren Straßenbahnen und Busse nur noch durch den verkehrsberuhigten Abschnitt südlich der Anichstraße, der Nordteil wurde von 2006 bis 2009 zur Fußgängerzone umgestaltet.
Entlang der Straße finden sich wichtige Einrichtungen wie das Rathaus und das Landhaus sowie zahlreiche Geschäfte und Einkaufszentren (Kaufhaus Tyrol, Rathaus-Galerien). Mit einer Passantenfrequenz von mehr als 30.000 Personen am Tag zählt sie zu den sechs attraktivsten Einkaufsstraßen Österreichs. Sie wird auch für Veranstaltungen wie einen Christkindlmarkt oder die Fanmeile bei der Fußball-Europameisterschaft 2008 genutzt.
TT110 leads TM72 up the grade between Bargo and Yerrinbool.
TT class locos have been allocated to the Tahmoor coal train. It is worked by a single rake with one loco marshalled each end, previously 82 class but now TT class. TTs have about 43% more power than 82s, and on the 39km climb from Tahmoor Junction to Bowral they reduce the running time by around 25-30 minutes.

Army Family Action Plan leads to change
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany – Home on leave from Iraq, Matthew Smith swerved across an Indiana roadway to avoid a soda can he thought was a roadside bomb and nearly crashed into oncoming traffic.
Smith, 27, now a sergeant with the Kaiserslautern-based 457th Civil Affairs Battalion, mentioned the 2007 memory to his wife Stephanie, who had an idea. Why doesn’t the Army make mental health screenings mandatory for deployed Soldiers before their Rest and Recuperation leave?
“That event really scared him,” said Stephanie Smith, an Army Community Service employee at U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern. “If someone had warned him – to take time to reintegrate and make adjustments on R&R – that could have been prevented.”
Last year, the Smith’s submitted the idea as a suggestion the Army Family Action Plan – a grassroots program where community members indentify quality of life issues for the Army to address. It ended up being considered at the highest Army levels.
“Change starts with people like me, just another community member,” Smith said.
Representatives from U.S. Army Garrison Baden-Württemberg and U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern came together Oct. 19 for a combined 2011 AFAP conference. Roughly 200 people attended the three-day event held at the Kaiserslautern Community Activity Center on Daenner Kaserne.
In past years, ideas were submitted anonymously in community drop boxes. This year, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern webmaster Brandon Spragins created a way for community members to offer AFAP ideas online – significantly increasing submission numbers from previous years, said Michelle Thomas, Army Community Service director at U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern. Also, mobile device photographed a special bar code that pointed them directly to the submission site.
“This allowed users to offer ideas with ease, from either their workplace or the comfort of their home,” Spragins said. “Using today’s interactive technology revolutionizes how community members can suggest improvements and make changes both locally and Army wide.”
At the conference, issues were prioritized and solutions recommended. Some topics brought up this year included improvements to parking, housing, speeding on post and the transformation of Sembach Kaserne, where several Army units are moving.
Some issues were raised to higher commands or senior Army leadership. Other problems can be addressed at the local level, Thomas said.
“We have command team that has no problem with confronting issues and finding solutions. They’re family and Soldier oriented,” Thomas said. “When you have that in a command team, you have a wonderful thing.”
AFAP conferences began in 1983. Early issues focused on child care standards and volunteer support. Since then, milestones included changes to pay, healthcare, insurance, single
Soldier programs and school liaisons. AFAP suggestions also led to an increase of annual leave carryover, toll-free hotlines for wounded service members and education benefits for surviving spouses. AFAP issues even led to legislative changes as well as changes of Army and DoD policies, AFAP program manager Kimberly Lazarow said.
“Our first step is to see if the submitted issues affect the local community or is it something Army-wide,” Lazarow said. “About 90 percent of issues submitted are worked at the local level, others are pushed higher.”
Last year, the Smith’s issue was elevated through Installation Management Command to the Department of the Army for consideration.
“This really works. Everything has to get looked at and nothing gets pushed off to the side,” Stephanie Smith said. “One little event in my husband’s life may change Army policy.”
Joel Parkinson Leads ASP Top Stars in Assault on Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach Round 1
BELLS BEACH, Victoria/Australia (Wednesday, April 20, 2011) – Today marks the commencement of the 50th Anniversary of competition surfing at Bells Beach as Round 1 of the 2011 Rip Curl Pro Bells presented by Ford Ranger got underway in clean four-to-six foot (1.5 - 2 metre) surf.
The Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach, the second stop on the 2011 ASP World Title season, enjoyed consistent surf throughout the day as the world’s best surfers unleashed a barrage of high-performance ripping on the classic canvas of Bells Beach.
Joel Parkinson (AUS), 30, 2009 Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach Champion put in a sensational performance this afternoon, electing to sit up at Rincon to secure the day’s highest scores.. Parkinson locked in the highest wave score and the highest heat score of the opening day of competition scoring 17.74 (out of a possible 20.00) to advance directly through to Round 3 of competition.
"I fell off twice on the bowl," Parkinson said. "It was really hard to ride. Then CJ (Hobgood) went across to Rincon and got a score, so we followed him over and it worked out for me. It's great to get that opening heat win, especially at Bells. You never know what conditions you're going to get in a heat, so to be able to skip round two and maybe get a day off is a huge advantage."
Kelly Slater (USA), 39, reigning 10-time ASP World Champion and defending event winner, was clinical in his attack in his Round 1 heat. Slater had his fellow competitors Adam Robertson (AUS), 28, and Kai Otton (AUS), 31, on the ropes only minutes into the heat, scoring an impressive 16.00 (out of a possible 20.00) on his opening two rides.
"I don't free surf out at Bells a whole lot," Slater said. "When the waves are good the comp is on and outside of that it's pretty crowded. So I'm still learning with each heat out there still, surfing against a guy like Robbo (Adam Robertson) you've got to watch where he's sitting, how far our and how deep."
Mick Fanning (AUS), 29, currently equal 13th in the hunt for the 2011 ASP World Title, went into today’s competition with renewed vigor after a shock early exit at the last event on the Gold Coast. The past two-time ASP World Champion came out and dominated his Round 1 battle over Tiago Pires (PRT), 31, and Gabriel Medina (BRA), 17.
"I'm stoked to get a good start," Fanning said. "It's been 10 years since I won here as I wildcard, I got close last year but Kelly Slater got me in the final. You want to win every event, but being the 50th Anniversary and so much history at this event, it's like the Wimbeldon of surfing, it's a hard one to win but it's the one everyone wants."
Alejo Muniz (BRA), 21, led today’s rookie charge, continuing his sensational run after the and equal 5th on the Gold Coast, and dispatching of fellow Brazilian Ranoi Monterio (BRA), 28, and Australian Adrian Buchan (AUS), 28 in this morning’s opening round heat.
"It's so good out there!" Muniz said. "This is my first time surfing at Bells and it's the most amazing place. It's got perfect rights, and it's the kind of wave that I love to surf. It's the best place ever, best waves, best weather and I love surfing in wetsuits."
Jeremy Flores (FRA), 22, bounced back after missing the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast with a knee injury, to score a comprehensive win over Taylor Knox (USA), 39, and Cory Lopez (USA), 34.
"I wasn't very confident before the heat," Flores said. "But I got that first wave and did a big turn at the end and got a good score. I think that's what you need to do these days, finish the wave strong. My knee still isn't 100%, but I went for it and it's good to win. Big thanks to everyone at the Gold Coast Suns Football Club for helping with my knee, it's feeling much better now."
Stu Kennedy (AUS), 21, scored a last minute wildcard into the event and caused the upset of the day, eliminating 2010 ASP World Title runner-up Jordy Smith (ZAF), 23, and Dusty Payne (HAW), 22.
"I've been coming here for years," Kennedy said. "I won a Pro Junior here in 2008 and I know where to sit. I don't think Dusty and Jordy know the break as well as I do so that helps. I've been up since 3am because I'm jet-lagged from coming home from Scotland. I woke up with a bunch of energy it's my shaper's birthday so I woke him up at 5am to go surfing. I had to win my heat for him for his birthday."
When men’s competition resumes, up first will be 2010 ASP World Runner-Up Jordy Smith (ZAF), 23, up against Trials Winner Adam Robertson (AUS), 28, in the opening heat of Round 2.
Following the completion of the men’s Round 1 today, the ASP Top 17 hit the water for Round 1 of the Rip Curl Women’s Pro Bells Beach presented by Ford Fiesta.
Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), 23, reigning four-time ASP Women’s World Champion and defending three-time Rip Curl Women’s Bells Beach winner, returned to her winning ways today, after bowing out early at the last event, the Roxy Pro Gold Coast.
"My first two years on tour I didn't have great results on the Gold Coast," Gilmore said. "I always bounced back at this event and then finished the year well, so hopefully I'll do that again this year. The Gold Coast was a fine showing of what women's surfing is up to now and everyone has to try and keep up. It really pushes me and I think anyone who wins an event from now on will be a very deserving winner because of that fact."
Pauline Ado (FRA), 19, the French rookie caused the upset of the women's event, defeating current ASP World Title front runner Carissa Moore (HAW), 18, in a nail biter of a heat.
"I'm really happy, I had a lot of fun out there," Ado said "I got one of my good waves in the first few seconds so after that I felt confident and knew I could be more selective and wait for the right wave. A heat against Carissa is always a tough one, so I'm really stoked to win."
When women’s competition resumes, up first will be Paige Hareb (NZL) and Jessi Miley-Dyer (AUS) in the opening heat of Round 2.
Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 7am to assess conditions for a possible 7:30am start.
Highlights from the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach presented by FORD will be webcast available via www.live.ripcurl.com and broadcast live on Fuel TV in Australia and ESPN in Brazil.
