Be Active Your Way Blog
May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month! This month, organizations, schools, worksites, and communities across the nation are celebrating the benefits of being physically active, and the strides we've all made to help Americans move more. During May, take some extra time to enjoy the fun and excitement of being physically active with your friends, coworkers, and family.
How are you or your organization recognizing National Physical Fitness and Sports Month? E-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to contribute a blog post!
This Friday, May 17th is National Bike to Work Day. Here in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area there are 70 pit stops throughout DC, Maryland, and Virginia. In 2001, only a few hundred participated, but over 12,000 participated last year. I was one of those participants and I had a blast!
Last year, I saw lots of people on bikes and many who typically don't ride. Bikes, bikes, bikes, everywhere I looked I saw bikes! What a joy! I met one lady while riding along, asked where she was going and it turned out we were both riding to NIH that day. We chatted the last few miles of our commute together and time just flew by! The commute felt shorter than usual and I really enjoyed getting to know someone new. When we arrived at the NIH campus, we were greeted with coffee, some light snacks, prizes, and music. I can't think of a better way to start the work day.
Above: NIH Bike to Work Day
One of my friends asked me why I participated in Bike to Work Day, especially if I ride my bike to work every day anyway. So what makes Bike to Work Day special? That is a great question. Although I am committed to riding on most days of the week, not everyone else has the "know how" or the skills yet to try it out. Bike to Work Day is a great way to bring awareness to active commuting. It provides a great way for people to start thinking about alternate modes of transportation. People who are a new cyclists, new to bike commuting, or just want to learn more can check out DC's Bike to Work website. The website includes some great information on all of the pit stops available in the DC Metro area as well as some ideas about how to get involved. For information on Bike to Work Day in your area, or to arrange your own group, visit the League of American Bicyclists National Bike Month page.
Riding to work can cause fitness to sneak up on you too! Without even really thinking so much about exercising, commuting by bike, even just a couple days of the week will slowly start to build your fitness. It is a great way to get two things done at once – commute to work and get your physical activity in! Also, riding a bike either for recreation or for commuting automatically engages you in a community no matter where you live, work, or play.
Above: To Bike or Ride?
But beyond all of that, it is just plain fun. Riding bikes is fun. You get to see all sorts of things on your ride that you might not see from your car. What a joy! Once you have your route mapped out and ride it a few times, the bike commute can be as easy as hopping in your car.
Above: My friend and I getting ready for a long ride.
Imagine a commute that includes more bikes than cars. If you can't imagine it, check out what a morning rush hour in the 4th largest city in the Netherlands looks like: Bicycle Rush Hour.
Above: You never know what you will see or who you will meet while out riding your bike.

Active Advice | Building Healthy Communities | Events
Did you get in your "Instant Recess" today? Don't worry, it will only take 10 minutes and no special equipment or shoes are required.
Antronette (Toni) Yancey, researcher and professor at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health was the founder of "Instant Recess" – a "MOVEment of ACTIVE-ists dedicated to making America healthier 10 minutes at a time." She believed that exercise could be done in short bursts in workplaces, schools and places of worship and wrote a book about the movement, "Instant Recess: Building a Fit Nation 10 Minutes at a Time."
Sadly, with her recent passing, the physical activity community lost a tremendous leader. This week, individuals and communities decided to celebrate Toni's work by promoting Instant Recess at 4 pm ET on Tuesday, May 7th. Individuals were encouraged to rally their colleagues to do a short activity break. And to make it even easier, Toni and Los Angeles Sparks created an easy, 10 minute session video you can follow.
I was at a President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition meeting on Tuesday and President's Council member Donna Richardson Joyner led the Council and the audience in Instant Recess during the meeting. It was a great way to get up and move and I definitely felt better when the next presentation started. Toni was also honored at this meeting with a Lifetime Achievement Award, celebrating her commitment and dedication to the promotion of physical activity.
Even if you missed the movement on Tuesday, add it to the calendar today (and every day)! 10 minutes is an easy way to improve your health and productivity. And, did you know, short bouts of physical activity 10 minutes or longer count toward meeting the Physical Activity Guidelines, which recommend 2.5 hours (150 minutes) of moderate-vigorous physical activity each week.
What are YOU doing to add small amounts of physical activity into your day?

Active Advice | Events
Barbara Lockhart, a BYU exercise science professor, says she hasn't run more than a mile in forty years. But that doesn't jive with the fact that Lockhart recently completed a day-long hike without a problem. Her secret? Interval training.
What It Is
Interval training is when you do any kind of intense activity to get your heart rate up, and then let your heart rate go down again. Then you repeat the process multiple times. For example, you sprint 800 meters. Then you rest for a minute. Then you go again at 100 percent.
Who's Doing It
Interval training seems to spit in the face of accepted get-fit tactics, which say sustained high heart beat is the way to go. But Lockhart says steady state exercise isn't the king of fitness.
"You see people go round and round the track," she says. "But that isn't how today's athletes train."
She says modern athletes, even distance runners, do interval training, splitting their workouts into sections of high intensity and rest.
This kind of training improves how well the heart delivers oxygen to the muscles, and how well those muscles receive that oxygen. It is better than regular aerobic exercise at improving the cardiovascular system. In short, interval training improves athletic capacity in ways that steady state training cannot.
Other Benefits:
One woman Lockhart worked with ran a nine-minute mile in her runs. The woman started interval workouts, and decreased her mile pace to seven minutes, even though she ran less mileage to train.
Still, Lockhart says, it isn't a matter of either or. Steady state workouts have their scientifically proven benefits, as do interval workouts. Mixing it up might be what you need.
A Running Interval Workout to Try
Shuttles. Some shudder at this word. Shuttles are a form of interval training that really hits.
But it is effective, and can be done almost anywhere, be it a basketball court, football field or on the track. In a typical shuttle, you will run about five yards to a marker or line, and then run back to the starting point, all at full speed.
But you don't stop there. You turn around and run at full speed to a marker ten yards away, turn around and run back. Repeat the process at 15, 20 and 25 yards. After completing the shuttle, rest for two minutes, then do it again.
It sounds brutal, and it is brutal. The sudden changes in direction transitioning into full sprints gives your muscles an excellent workout, and strengthens those fast twitch muscles that distance running doesn't touch.

Taylor Kelly 'excited' to take on leadership role
Originally published: Nov 26, 2012 - 5:03 pm
Not only did Kelly compete, but he won the job and never gave it up despite a hard push from redshirt freshman Michael Eubank.
A redshirt sophomore, Kelly threw for 2,772 yards and 25 touchdowns in his first season as the Sun Devil starter.
"I learned a lot. I got a lot better from the beginning of the season," Kelly told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf. "The preparation of understanding defense, what it takes to win in tough games, how to bounce back from loses and to stay focused. I have just got to keep improving those and keep learning."
With seniors like Cameron Marshall, Keelan Johnson and Brandon Magee graduating, the Devils will look for Kelly to become a team leader next season.
"I want guys to look up to me and know that I got faith in them and that we can continue on through adversity," Kelly said. "I am excited for that."
Kelly felt that he started to emerge into his no role in Arizona State's come from behind 41-34 victory over the Arizona Wildcats Friday.
Listen: Taylor Kelly, ASU Quarterback Kelly answers if the U of A Wildcat defense did anything that wasn't expected and what his leadership style is like. Kelly discusses how his mindset will be different in the upcoming camp where there is more expected from him compared to last camp where he was just fighting for playing time.
"In the game at U of A, I kinda felt more (that) the guys looked up to me," Kelly said. "Me speaking to them on the sideline, getting them going, I just felt more of a leadership role more than I have this season."
If all goes according to plan, Kelly will be the first ASU quarterback to start for two full consecutive seasons since Rudy Carpenter did so in 2007-2008.

2012 Election Thread
The Paul Ryan thread got testy, so let's try another. DNC starts tonight. The keynote speaker, Julian Castro, I've never really heard of.
Here's an interesting article on conservatives for Obama from the Daily Beast today. Money quote:
Wick Allison, former publisher of National Review under William F. Buckley and current publisher of The American Conservative, also reaffirms his Obama decision, albeit in anguished lukewarm tones. I will probably vote for Obama, unless I have aGary Johnsoninspiration in the voting booth. (My vote in Texas is wasted anyway.), Allison wrote in an email. Romney is the opposite of conservative, with a plan that is fiscally reckless and a foreign policy that is unnecessarily militant. Obama has done about the best that could have been done, considering the united GOP opposition in Congress. My questions about Obamacare and my disappointment that we are not already out of Afghanistan are not enough to make me embrace a candidacy that even George W. Bush would have been repelled byand, having had time to reflect on his own record, perhaps is.

Et tu, Mr. Destructo?
The more I learn about Paul Ryan, the more I really, really dislike the guy. Anyone who is a militant Christian and references Ayn Rand (a devout Atheist) on economic policy isn't going to score many points with me. It's taking the worst of both worlds. On the other hand, I also think Joe Biden is an oaf. The vice-presidency doesn't matter much.
Romney's speech was decent on the surface but lacked... everything, really. I know the RNC isn't the place to lay out policy but I would have liked to hear more than pure rhetoric. I really hate his "Defend America" stance... Who are we defending it from? Why should we continue to funnel money into defense and propping up other governments when our own is doing so badly? We need to see funding slashed across the board and defense shouldn't be exempt from the slash and burn. We need to stop spending more money than we generate and it's going to require a change in taxation, policy, and spending to get there. I don't see Romney doing that but I don't necessarily see Obama doing it, either... But I think that Obama will at least take a shot at it, particularly with a Republican-controlled Congress. At the end of the day, I see Romney as an empty suit who will say whatever it takes to get elected. If only the GOP had pushed harder to nominate Jon Huntsman. No way in hell should Paul Ryan get the "party intellectual" moniker when the party is so callously ignoring Huntsman, who is far smarter and mentally balanced than anyone else I see in the GOP. Much like Obama, the guy exudes level-headedness in a party that is quickly running off the rails.
As for the DNC, I don't know what to expect. I'm sure Biden will say something stupid, Democrats will groan and then laugh, Republicans will feign outrage, and then Obama will take the stage and give his typically vague speech. I want to like Obama but honestly, he's just been more of the same. The only reason I will *probably* vote for him is because he's the less dangerous of the two candidates (I have massive issues with Romney being in bed with the banking and finance industries, who deserve NONE of our trust at this point).
No matter your party affiliation, if you can't laugh at this spoof campaign ad, you're taking yourself too damned seriously. This is freakin' hilarious.

By far my biggest concern about Romney is his foreign policy. I don't care much about a candidate's experience but I do take notice to who he surrounds himself with and who the primary advisors will be. I see no reason to think it will be anything but neo-con on steroids, and no chance Romney would be strong enough to push back against the biggest excesses. I fear where that may ultimately lead, especially if the economy continues to sputter along.
A secondary concern is fiscal policy. There is talk of cutting taxes being balanced by closing loopholes, broadening the tax base and cutting Medicaid/other government spending. This sounds fine in theory but no chance this happens in reality. Once Romney is President little chance he is strong enough to push through tough reforms that will upset large portions of the electorate. So, as usual, we will end up with large tax cuts disproportionately skewed to the wealthy with no cuts in spending to offset them. If you think the deficit looks bad now...
I'm not all that excited for Obama either, but he will at least be relatively moderate to conservative (in the traditional sense) on these two key things that a President actually has control over.
Gary Johnson looks better by the day, here's hoping he gets some legitimate traction (though I'm not counting on it).Papers...business papers.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to throw my vote away down ballot somewhere this year. I don't like either candidate and in MN it won't matter, Obama will win the state pretty convincingly. On the other hand, the MN ballot does have a couple ballot amendment questions - voter ID and marriage amendment - that people should vote no on.
You can register to vote at http://www.sos.state.mn.us/index.aspx?page=204
I've often considered my vote as one of the lesser of two evils. It seems that if you want to vote for the person most 'for' the things you want you are just giving a vote to one you least want. The pitfalls of a two-party system. So I end up voting for the person who is most likely going to beat the one I find most reprehensible.
I vote for who I believe in. I will be voting for Ron Paul no matter what. I don't care if my vote is wasted.

Vote yes on voter ID, the fact that under the current rules certain people don't have ID's has nothing to do with what would happen if we changed the rule to something reasonable. I have full confidence the 86 year old who has no reason to have an ID would be willing to take 15 minutes out of there day and go register to vote the in a legal manor. The 36 year old that is irresponsible might choose not to get an ID, and thats Ok they have the right to choose not to vote. As for throwing your vote away, you only do that if you let someone else control who you vote for. The election will not come down to 1 vote so all you can do is send a message with your vote. A vote for Rosanne Barr or Gary Johnson sends some sort of a message as does a vote for Obama and Romney. I should add though that an old college professor gave an economic lesson that no matter how close an election is voting is a waste of time. He ran for office 2 years ago and got exactly a half vote more then 50%.

I'd vote gary Johnson over writing in Ron Paul. Write in getting 42,168 instead of 42,167 doesn't really send any message. Gary Johnson getting 1 extra vote sends a clear message. I wrote in Paul in 2008 and didn't think i could possibly vote Romney in January, but this election is about firing Obama for me at this point. I hope Romney has a credible primary challenger in 2016 should he at all resemble the republicans who supported without question the spending of Bush, but at the same time am hopeful Romney has full understanding of our economic situation and is ready to make politically unpopular choices.
I was surprised about how gracious Clinton was towards Obama; I thought the speech would be a nostalgic look back at the 90s, but he delivered a pretty compelling and dense argument for reelecting Obama.

This is the choice Mitt says when you lose your $22.50 an hour job you do what it takes and get two jobs to support your family. Obama says people on welfare are not a problem. We can be a country of prideful people or we can continue to live in Obama's America.
The economy is not the income of the citizens, it's the work of the citizens.
Obama looked far more presidential in that speech than Romney did in his last week. I actually thought Romney's speech was decent but Obama's was better.
Interesting, seeing as during Obama's presidency, numerous welfare-to-work programs were set up to encourage those utilizing welfare to work. What Mitt fails to realize is that many in this country would love half of a $22.50 job, and they're just not out there. Clinton actually made a great point when he was discussing the new education for the new economy. My dad is a bright man and not yet 55, but the education he received would not be adequate if he chose to attempt to enter the workforce now, and many of those being moved out of a position by technological advances are finding the same thing. That is not a bad thing, and it's something this country has faced many times before, but for some reason, now it's being politicized in anti-current regime rhetoric from the Republican party as Obama costing jobs. That's not it at all. In the United States' history, aggressive reorder of the job market based on advances in technology have typically happened because of war or depression/recession times that extend multiple years. We're in the midst of that right now, and as unpopular as it may be for people in the country to be out of work, it needs to happen at times to change how we're training students and adults to do their jobs in an ever-changing global economy.

There's a lot wrong with the voter ID plan but on a simple level, why should 200,000+ people have to go to the government to get back their fundamental right? That's sorta the opposite of small government. This election year, I'm moving about 3 weeks before election day. Under the voter ID plan, I probably wouldn't be able to vote b/c my "government issued" ID wouldn't have my correct address and ID + a utility bill wouldn't work. (Incidentally, your 36 year old isn't exercising his right not to vote, the government is prohibiting him from voting b/c he didn't fulfill a government created voting requirment. Huge difference)
Minnesotans typically have the highest voter turnout in the country. Last presidential election, over 70% of eligible voters voted. That's remarkable. Over 500,000 of those voters were people who registered to vote on election day. Voter ID will end same day registration as we enjoy it. Instead some sort of provincial balloting method will be created. Voter ID isn't just affecting old people in nursing homes, it'll also affect MN servicemen and women, students, and victims of domestic abuse.
And what would voter ID try and fix? Voter impersonation. Not voter fraud. The only thing voter ID would try and fight change is me attempting to vote in two different locations under two different names. Something that just doesn't happen (and we've been voting without photo IDs for hundreds of years). And to all that, voter ID will require municipalities to raise property taxes to pay for the new voting system - estimates range from 30-50 million.
That's just it. On one side, we have the small government advocates calling for more government regulation. On the other, we have the big government advocates calling for the status quo (less government regulation). It's this duality in American politics that I find maddening. Voter ID is going to fix so few problems that I just don't see any upside in doing it and I see significant downside in trying. BTW, I would have been able to vote in ONE presidential election (out of the four I've voted in thus far) because I was college age and moved around constantly during two elections (as do most people in their late teens and early 20s) and had just moved out of state for the third.
It's a solution in search of a problem. Since I tend to fall on the side of smaller government, I'm going to vote "no" on every useless proposal I see on the ballot (I'd love to see my record on prop ballot measures... it must be overwhelmingly negative to the tune of 90% or more "no"). We need less stupid laws, not more.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell warned players a while back that he was prepared to drop the Pro Bowl if they didn't pick up the level of play. Next thing you know, he'll be threatening to hold his breath.
Instead of calling his bluff, which is what anyone who doesn't get the consolation prize of a week's vacation in Hawaii should have done, they promised to try harder. At the time, it sounded like one of those things kids say just to get their parents off their backs. That seemed even more true this week, when cellar-dwelling Kansas City somehow managed to get five players selected to the AFC squad. That's three more than the number of wins the Chiefs have posted so far this season — when they were supposed to be trying — which raises the question: Will anyone who tunes into the Pro Bowl on Jan. 27 be able to tell the difference?
That's the problem facing every pro sport that stages an all-star game these days: It's tough to tell whether anyone's heart is in it anymore. Most veterans would rather take the days off than whatever cash or exposure it provides, and nearly all of them can afford it. More than two dozen passed on an opportunity to show up for last year's 59-41, do-no-harm win by the AFC over the NFC. By the end of that one, defenders were waving ballcarriers by with the kind of flourishes usually reserved for bullfights. Even a solid company man like Goodell had to admit it was an embarrassment.
"If we cannot accomplish that kind of standard," the commissioner said during a radio interview in October, referring to the league's high-intensity regular season, "I am inclined to not play it. It is really tough to force competition, and after a long season, to ask those guys to go out and play at the same level they played is really tough."
Impossible, though, is more like it.
Because the Super Bowl is played at a neutral site, Goodell can't follow the lead of baseball boss Bud Selig and try to coax players into caring about the outcome by awarding home-field advantage to the winning side. There's nothing to be borrowed from the NBA's version, either, because basketball — unlike football — can be entertaining without anyone actually playing defense, as fans of the Charlotte Bobcats can attest. And there's no reason to even mention the NHL in this context, because nothing that Commissioner Gary Bettman has come up with during his tenure is likely to be worth stealing.
So what should Goodell do?
Exactly what he's doing now: Pretend to be concerned, and leave it at that.
Despite a few head-scratching decisions this year — sticking too long with replacement referees; trying to punish the New Orleans Saints more than Bountygate warranted — Goodell hasn't lost his touch. He's not about to cancel the Pro Bowl. The one lesson that's been reinforced time and again since he took the job five years ago is that there's no such thing as too much NFL — on the tube, online and even when most of the players are on vacation.
Nearly five million people tuned into the league's scouting combine at some point this spring to watch players who hadn't even made the cut lift weights and run around in shorts and T-shirts. And last year's Pro Bowl game, bad as it was, still pulled in better numbers than any of its rivals — an average of 12.5 million viewers, even if most of them were asleep by the end. Continued...
So Goodell knew exactly what he was doing when he suggested the NFL might skip the game and instead honor the players selected to the Pro Bowls rosters during a ceremony. All-Star games are popularity contests after all, and the NFL's participants are chosen according to a vote among the league's players, coaches and fans, with each group given equal weight in the process.
But if you've followed the arguments about who was left out, you'll find very little griping between the first two groups — with the possible exception of players who promised the family a week in Hawaii. Instead, it's coming from the same fans who will doze off during the game, but can't for the moment imagine how the Cowboys' Dez Bryant didn't get picked, or how overrated but still popular Green Bay center Jeff Saturday got the nod over linemate Josh Sitton, or why all those Chiefs are hanging around.
So consider this your wake-up call, fans, even if it came a month early.

Dear Editor,
Is anyone in town wondering about the pile of dirt in the lot across from Advance Auto?
So are the owners, who were stopped in mid-process of landscaping the yard. After purchasing the property in 2003, the city took the shrubs out that encircled the property from the sidewalk, which left big holes and mounds of dirt and roots.
It's been really difficult to mow and pick up debris since then. The property was very uneven everywhere. After learning that their property was in the Historic Preservation Council's "zone," nine years after buying it, he stopped and got permission for the little building he was adding to the yard. His application did include extending the parking lot.
He had a company come in to de-sod and level out the property. When it was almost finished, the city inspector came with the police and a cease and desist order, and under threat of arrest, he stopped.
I couldn't find applications or permission granted for several of the bigger projects that's been done to the properties that persons on the board own. I also find it unusual that past and present members of this council, together, own a lot of these properties in "the zone."
These properties are mostly eyesores. These council members need to be held to the same standards that they are forcing on other property owners.
Since their properties that they reside in have been purchased, they have had pools, two car garages, pool houses, etc. put on theirs.
I also found several past members also received grant monies from the council they held seats on, for the facelifts on their own homes. It's all a little double standard, and the 14th amendment has been tossed in the trash.

documentr is a Web-based tool for editing and presenting software documentation. It allows you to easily maintain documentation for multiple products and product branches. Edits can easily be copied between branches, with merge conflicts being handled gracefully. It uses Markdown as its markup language, along with some extensions, and has a role-based permission system.
cvs-fast-export analyzes a collection of RCS files in a CVS repository (or outside of one) and, when possible, emits an equivalent history in the form of a fast-import stream. Not all possible histories can be rendered this way, and the program tries to emit useful warnings when it can't. The program can also produce a visualization of the resulting commit DAG in the DOT format handled by the graphviz suite.
git-info-bar is a ksh, bash, gitbash, and Git shell plugin that endeavors to provide a fast and pronounced view of various git attributes when you are under the umbrella of a git repository. Its main feature, the 'info bar' (information bar), displays the following information: current branch (in 'red' if on master); current cksum (in 'red' if there are uncommitted changes, and an 'uncommitted changes' message in the message area); and stash count in the message area if you have stashes. It includes an install script and removal scripts. It is currently only tested in Bash, GitBash and ksh93. It was previously named 'bash-git', but the name has been transitioned to 'git-info-bar', as a long-term goal is cross-shell compatibility using a Perl back-end.
Gerrit is a Web-based code review system, facilitating online code reviews for projects using the Git version control system. Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer. Gerrit simplifies Git-based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged by hand by the project maintainer. This functionality enables a more centralized usage of Git.
git-flow Python Edition is a a pure Python implementation of git-flow. All sub-commands share a common back-end to ensure features behave the same, whatever branch-type they are working on. New workflow behavior can also be added easily by simply sub-classing existing ones. It also includes a comprehensive unit test suite, decent man pages, and HTML docs.
owl2vcs is a set of tools designed to facilitate version control of OWL 2 ontologies using version control systems. It contains a commandline diff tool for OWL 2 ontologies integrated with Git and Mercurial. It detects axioms additions and removals, imports' additions and removals, ontology annotations' additions and removals, prefix additions, removals, modifications, and renames, ontology IRI and version IRI changes, and ontology format changes. It supports RDF/XML, OWL/XML, OWL Functional Syntax, Manchester OWL Syntax, and Turtle. It provides a changeset serializer and parser, two formats of changes, compact (like OWL Functional Syntax) and indented (the same, but more readable, using indents instead of parentheses), and four formats of IRIs: Simple, QName, Full, and Label.

I Remember Clifford
Helen Merrill
A fine singer with a warm, expressive voice, Helen Merrill's infrequent recordings tend to be quite special with plenty of surprises and chance-taking. She started singing in public in 1944 and was with the Reggie Childs Orchestra during 1946-1947. Merrill, who was married for a period to clarinetist Aaron Sachs, had opportunities to sit in with some of the top modernists of the time, including Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and Bud Powell. She was with Earl Hines in 1952 and started recording regularly for EmArcy in 1954. Her collaboration with Clifford Brown was her first classic. She made several notable EmArcy albums during 1954-1958 (including one in 1956 that helped bring Gil Evans out of retirement); all have been reissued in a large box. After recording for Atco and Metrojazz in 1959, she moved to Italy for the next four years, touring often in Europe and Japan. Back in the U.S., Merrill teamed with pianist/arranger Dick Katz for a pair of notable and unpredictable Milestone dates (1967-1968) and then moved to Japan where she was quite popular. Helen Merrill returned to the United States in the mid-'70s and has since recorded for Inner City, Owl, EmArcy (including a reunion date with Gil Evans) Antilles, and Verve, which released her 2000 album Jelena Ana Milcetic a.k.a. Helen Merrill. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi

While Crystal is launching the program in 50 European ports on Crystal Symphony Mediterranean cruises and Crystal Serenity Northern European cruises, the ultra-luxury line plans to extend the program to other destinations later in the year.

"Many of today's luxury guests like to explore on their own, but don't enjoy the hassle, time and questionable quality of searching for transportation and guides, as well as the aggravation of negotiating fees," says John Stoll, vice president, land and port operations. "With our trusted transportation and destination expertise at their disposal, and by using fully licensed and insured companies, guests can tour independently with ease and safety, as well as be ultra-flexible should they want to follow a last-minute insider's suggestion or just see how they feel in the moment."
The program is the newest addition to a rapidly-expanding roster of Crystal Adventures shore excursion choices, including:
The new private car and driver services start at $270 per car, with guides speaking languages other than English also available upon request.
Crystal's passion for creating exclusive, eye-opening luxury shoreside experiences are cornerstones of its Crystal Adventures program, helping earn the line top ratings for two decades.

Hi everyone,
I'm 6'2" 215 lbs, 41 years old. In pretty good shape from the gym, but haven't surfed that much for the last 10 years and would put my level realistically at the lower spectrum of intermediate. My idea of perfection is a head high wave, maybe a little bit bigger -- and just making big carves on the face. I don't really have any interest in blasting airs or anything.
So. Currently I'm riding a big guy tri (Channel Islands MBB I bought back in 1999) with dimensions 7'4" x 21" x 3" and I like it quite a bit... can even get into little knee high waves pretty easily, which we see a lot of here in Los Angeles. I have a hard time duck diving when it gets over chest high, though, and I was thinking of getting a Hellfire for those conditions.
My question is... I was leaning toward a 6'10" Hellfire, which already has a volume of 47.7 (versus the 53-59 suggested from the calculator)... but after browsing this forum, I'm starting to worry even that might be too big. What do you guys think?

God bless you all Son needs/wants help Reply to this Comment Hello, my name is Diane, I am an addict. I have lost my than I can say right now. I am at a loss of where to go right - now for my son. He is in court in Siskiyou , Co. Cali. He is 19 yrs old.It's so bad that you have to get in trouble with the law before one gets help.My son has been running for a long time. Now he is faceing jail time.He needs and WANTS recovery.I'm at a loss to what to do to help him. We do know he needs long term, live -in Recovery House. The nature of the Beast,is telling him all the demonic lies it has to tell. No one cares, no love,ect.By the Grace of love and God he showed up at my door,2 days ago. He is depleated. For him to come hear was a Big Step!...I took him to see people that he hadn't seen for years. He was over whemed with the Greaf of the situation. We have addiction on both sides of the familey.His real soul is a sweet, gental, loveing kid. Like most addicts.I want him some where around Butte, Co. California...so I can go/be with him at the NA meetings. any sugestions would help. He has been on Meth a long time. Thinking no one knew, we all knew. But he would run. I feel so despart, I lost my step daughter, and my older sons best friend in the same day, just hours apart. That was 2 years ago. My step son is doing 25-life on a 3rd strike.Dacota/Cody...is still so saveable.I pray I can find that help. God bless all of you still strugling with this horid infliction.I pray for you all!... God bless.Diane Meth Reply to this Comment I am an addict.I want you to know it doesn't ever get better,only worse.For 6 years,I've smoked,and now I have run out of chances.I was making $50,000 a year.Now,I must provide a drug test before I can go back to work.That was 2 months ago,I desperately know I just gotta stop,but meth just screws all reasoning with your mind,and I put it off always on tomorrow.I was starting a relationship with a co-worker about 2 years ago,and this guy didnt do any drug/smoke,and he really was the one that gave me a reason to quit before.When he had enough of my lying and manipulation,I turned to the only one who would listen,be there for me:Meth.Now,I am worse than before.Money was a problem,even though I was making good money.And I am paying $100 per 8-ball,so it wasn't just the cost of the drug.It was the trips to 24hour walmart,Target everyday,starbucks,etc.So just pray for your soul and quit before your luck runs out,because I have yet to meet anybody whose luck hsn't,. To Barbie: Reply to this Comment Hi Barbie! I have never used meth before but I have smoked pot. I know they're different drugs but what you wrote about feeling like you can do things that you couldnt do before touched me. I smoked pot for about 3 years and i had those same feelings. I was in college, but some how, eve throughout my life, I never felt like i was able to do things-especially not great things. I want you to know that you ARE capable of anything you want to do or be! Here's a thought: "what would you do if you knew you wouldn't fail?" As difficult as it is, sometimes our families, our environments, or even our friends can hold us back or bring us down without us even being aware of it! That's what i found out. Not to be giving you advice b/c u sound like a smart young lady, but if you want, maybe do a little "soul searching" and see if there is something in your life that makes you feel the way you do. Just being aware of those things helps a lot! You sound like a really interesting, smart young lady and if you ever want to chit chat, please feel free to email me at email@example.com Anyway, please take care of yourself and remember that you've got a lot to offer; even without drugs! Have a great day, Barbie! Jessica-24 Over two years clean of meth Reply to this Comment I've done every drug there is and meth took ahold of me in which case I lost my job,my marriage, my home and even every bit of my personal belongings (the cops took it and burned it while I was in jail). I was in jail fo 2=1/2 months with a $35,000 bond..looking at 7 years. I was 39 at the time. Still to this day I jonz it every now and then...thank God I have my husband that keeps me from doing it. I gave 5 years of my life to meth half the time smoking it and the last half slamming it. Now...2-1/2 yrs later I am having ALOT of pretty serious health issues and I am on alot of mental health meds. Needless, to say I am still alive....I had a 9mm to my forhead, my truck stolen, I thought I had alot of friends but TWEAKERS ARE NOT FRIENDS! I wish everyone trying to quit the devils drug had such an understanding "someone" in their life like I do or i would still be using. Having that special someone is better than any in patient or out patient rehab...trust me!

Lindsay Lohan due in New York court on assault charges
NEW YORK (AP) — Actress Lindsay Lohan is scheduled to appear in court to face assault charges in connection with a fight at a Manhattan nightclub.
She's charged with misdemeanor assault in the Nov. 29 incident at Club Avenue.
She allegedly struck a woman in the face with her hand after getting into a spat with her.
She's due in criminal court Monday where she'll learn whether prosecutors will pursue the case against her.
At the time of her arrest, her attorney, Mark Heller, said Lohan was "a victim of someone trying to capture their 15 minutes of fame."
In September, she was involved in an NYPD investigation after alleging a man assaulted her in a hotel. Charges against the man were later dropped.
Her films include "Liz and Dick" and "The Canyons."

I always have to have a piecing project going especially when I am doing a lot of applique like I am right now, this is the one I am working on now
Its a reproduction of an antique quilt in the book For Purpose or Pleasure by Sandi Fox. A must have if you love antique quilts, actually any book by Sandi Fox in mho.
I opened the book to this page when a friend, mary jo known as MJ from MI in blogland no blog just comments!, told me she wanted to make this quilt. Of course I already had a sticky on that page as a someday project.
Someday happened last week, I instantly started pulling fabrics and made a pile! I decided to make my blocks smaller then the original antique quilt. My blocks will be 6" finished vs. 9" like the original. It didn't hurt that the block was a nine patch and I just bought new turkey reds I was dying to use! It was the right time for me to make this quilt too! Besides whats better then turkey red, poison green and cheddars?????
Here is the book cover...
Did you see Sarah is having a 100 post giveaway????? Oh how I would love to have those liberty fabrics!
check out her blog!

I would not have thought to add the green to the cheddar and red, but I like it! I've been collecting cheddar fabric but have yet to come up with the perfect project for it!

Love that color combination! I just printed a nine-patch pattern for a mini quilt...I may have to use these same colors! Thanks for the inspiration!

what is the name of the large floral fabric you used with the red background...I am in desperate need for a 20 inch square for my pots on my Mary Mannakee quilt.

I completely agree about the Sandi Fox books. I tried ordering that particular title from Amazon two years ago and it is still pending. But, I just found it on my favorite used book website and it is now on its way to me. I can't wait.
You have me drooling over those wonderful red, green, cheddar fabrics. I am glad you are making a quilt from them because they are so wonderful. I am looking at that set of blocks the way you have it photographed on point and it's giving me ideas. - April 5, 2012 at 9:28 AM

Can't go wrong with a nine-patch--throw in those three colors and you have hit the jackpot!

I love that book but haven't looked at it in months. You've prompted me to pull it from my book stash to browse through it again. Love your color choices. Like you, I prefer a 6" block - I like smaller rather than larger whenever possible.
- April 5, 2012 at 11:22 AM
- Brandie said...
I just love those colors!
Over the years that I've been lurking, I've developed a strong love of these colors. They all just came together for me just recently. So Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! I just made my most favorite quilt, it's little, but the colors are perfect. - April 5, 2012 at 11:29 AM
- MJinMichigan said...
I agree all of Sandi Fox's books are wonderful and full of inspiration. I'm glad I could inspire you to make that quilt and can't wait to get started on my own version. I'm being strong and making myself finish what I'm working on before I start it.

Back to amazon to buy another book! That is why I love your blog it exposes me to books that I didn't even know were out there.
Thank you - April 5, 2012 at 12:00 PM

I like to have blocks ready to piece on the machine while I'm appliquing too. Sometimes you just need the exhileration of whizzing through something.:) beautiful little quilt!

Those colours certainly do make a great combination for an antique inspired quilt!! Nice idea to make one a little smaller, so you get the 'fix' without it being too big - I can see why you would love this, it is a very 'you' quilt - just gorgeous!!!!

You have my three favourite colours all in one quilt so of course I love it. I love that book too but I need to see what others she has written.

This little quilt has me missing my repro's!! It seems like ages since I pieced anything with them, or appliqued a basket! I've been making grapes (about 400 or them!). I love the green, cheddar and red together!
In stitches,
