12 Top Trail-Running Clubs - Page 7
12. TrailsROC
Rochester, NY
Photo submitted by Laura Howard
Somehow, Rochester and the Finger Lakes region made it all the way to 2012 without an official trail-running club. So, four area friends with a passion for trail running launched TrailsROC to foster community among runners in the area, as well as help build new trail systems and establish affordable, fun local races. The group accepts any interested member (for free!), and there are no qualifying standards or other restrictions.
By harnessing the power of social media to keep runners connected to one another, TrailsROC has built its enthusiastic membership base rapidly in its short existence. Members often spend their weekends doing trail building and maintenance, and the profits from race events put on by the TrailsROC crew benefit local trail systems.
The group also sponsors Tuesday night Trail Trots, Thursday headlamp runs and a handful of low-key races on local trails, including a "Troubled Turkey" race on Thanksgiving and a winter trail festival (WTF) in December. Recently, TrailsROC coordinated a 5-mile night trail run called "Ready, Set, Glow."
Member Rave: "In my experience, trail running can be a harder sell to a newbie than road running, but TrailsROC is bringing them out. Last Thursday, for example, a guy showed up doing an 18 min. per mile pace. The gang made sure he finished the run—in the driving rain, in the dark. I could go on and on, but the takeaway is this: TrailsROC is a running club that is good for my community—not just my running community, but my larger regional community that is surrounded by some of the most beautiful trails in the country." –Andrea Hickerson

Our best tip that we can give to our new students is to attend New Student Orientation and get friendly with your Ambassador. Your UFV Ambassador is the best help you can get! At NSO they will be there to give you a tour of the school as well as tell you some of the "tricks of the trade" to make your transition to university easier. Feel free to get their email and keep in touch. They are there for you! In the coming months who knows what questions you might need answered.
Study tips
Learn to study effectively through the free programs (or handouts) done by the wonderful people at Student Services. Also, check out our effective studying and learning tips hereLearning Style
Knowing your learning style can help you determine your best method to study. You can either go to Student Services for help, or look for a free online personal assessment of your learning styles. It also helps to know who you are and your outlooks by taking accredited personality tests as this too can affect how you participate in class, take notes, as well as study.Library Help
Are you new to using the library? Check in the Library to see if the librarians are giving free library orientations. You can check out their webpage to see if there is anything there that can help you.
Advice for building study groups
E-mail your classmates through your myUFV (you'll be able to see the course's participants) asking who'd like to form a study group. Then try to pick a few times a week that will work for the majority and find somewhere to study. The library has rooms you can book for quiet study; there is also a lounge available at U-House (F Building). For making times/announcements about the group, try making a Facebook group for you study group members so that you can all stay in touch.
Computer access
Computer use is valuable and important! Some instructors only accept typed assignments and some textbooks come with supplementary CD's and web sites. UFV has free computer labs and helpful lab monitors. All UFV students get a free student e-mail account – check this account regularly because most instructors use only the "@student.ufv.ca" accounts to communicate with you. Also, there is campus wide wireless available to students. To check out how the wireless works, click here.Commitment
Beware of over commitment! Effective learning takes time outside class, not merely attendance in classes. It's recommended that for every class you're in you spend at least 3 additional hours a day on that class. Remember: the changes you must make in your social or work schedule in order to be successful during the semester are for 15 weeks only, not the rest of your life!Tips for finances
Strapped for cash? Go talk to the wonderful people in Financial Aid and Awards in the Student Services office, or check out their webpage.Learning Commons
These buildings house the Math and Writing Centres, in G on the Abbotsford Campus and Library in Chilliwack, where you can get help on your assignments, essays, and comprehension.Bike Storage on Campus
There are metal box-like structures outside some of the buildings near the doors that are actually for bike storage. You can rent a lock to one if you want. See the Facilities department located in Building B, room 150 for Abbotsford and Building W, building 1017 in Chilliwack.Parking
Pay parking is in effect 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at the Abbotsford King Road campus, Chilliwack Canada Education Park campus, and off campus in Abbotsford on some neighbouring city streets. For detailed information about parking at UFV, visit the Parking section of the Facilities website. Remember to arrive early for classes so you have time to find parking, which can be difficult, ans so that you have time to pay for parking as well.Bookstore
In Chilliwack the bookstore is located across fromTim Hortons, while in Abbotsford the bookstore is located in Building H (Baker House Residence building). The bookstores are often the least busy over the dinner hour. Note: DO NOT skimp on textbooks. Sharing rarely works. The bookstore carries some used books, or you can check the bulletin boards around campus (mainly on the bottom floor of Building B in Abbotsford. Another great place to find textbooks is www.books2go.ca where you can find almost any used textbook from UFV students that have already taken the course.Maps of UFV
You can access maps of the campuses electronically through Facilities - hint: look under "directions". Take a look at these and try to orient yourself to what buildings your classes will be in, and feel free to explore!
Coffee locations
In Abbotsford, Clickz café (Tim Horton's) can be pretty busy in the mornings, but there are other places to get your morning fix: Cascade café (cafeteria), The Press (convenience store in Building H beside Campus Bookstore), or Roadrunner café (Building A, main floor). For Chilliwack, check out the cafeteria (Tim Hortons) or Starbucks in the atrium!

What a difference a day makes...
Not a bad day for the first day of summer...
Well, what a glorious day the first day of summer-time turned out to be. We overslept, of course, as even with all the clocks changed, it just wasn't light enough for our body clocks to wake us up, so instead of getting up for my usual Sunday morning swim, we had a very nice lie-in and a leisurely breakfast.
We'd also decided it would be our first hike of the season, so we decided to go to the Roche d'Oetre, a craggy outcrop in the Suisse Normande, have lunch and then do a short trail.
The dog duly fastened into his harness, the backpacks stuffed with Lion bars and orange juice, we set off around 11.00 for the one-hour trip, knowing that we'd arrive just in time for lunch.
Only problem was, nothing was open. The thermometer might say 27 degrees in the sun, and there might be daffodils and primroses everywhere, but it was still March and the visitors centre was on its winter schedule, so no loos, no drinks and no snacks. At the restaurant, meanwhile, we got the Gallic shrug: no, they weren't serving outside, no they couldn't say when in the year they would start, no we couldn't come in as they were fully booked, yes we should have called in advance. In other words, fichez le camp as the French say when they mean bugger off.
Much disgruntled, as we were quite ravenous, we set off for a local auberge we'd seen advertised, but although we drove through the town where it was meant to be, we couldn't find it.
The DH being pretty crochety by this time, and myself fearing one of his food-deprived migraines coming on, I was very glad when we saw an 'Open' sign outside a local restaurant. It was right on the roadside but there was no traffic about, so we quickly parked up and I went inside.
"Can we get something to eat?" I said.
"No, we don't open on Sundays," said the thin young barkeep.
"Can we get anything to drink, then?"
Yes, they were open for drinks so I got us a couple of beers, then returned inside. "I was really hoping for something to eat," I said, "We're ravenous. Is there anywhere else open?"
"Well there's the epicerie next door," he said. "You could buy something there and eat outside here - that would be OK."
"Oh, is it open?"
I popped out and gave the DH the news, grabbed 10 euros and went into the epicerie. The thin young man walked through from the auberge. "Yes?" he said.
Perfect. Another classic French experience.
I bought Boursin, a baguette (from a paper sack resting on the floor), garlic sausage, crisps and Milka chocolate, which did us a pretty good feast. In the car we had paper plates and napkins, and the barkeep gave us a couple of knives so we made a pretty good fist of it, seated by his planters with their single brave camellias.
Once we'd had our fill we headed back to the Roche and set off on the shortest trail, the 2.5km Sentier des Gorges. This has a very steep descent of about 125m, so you need a hiking stick, and your knees really feel it, but it was bliss itself with the sun pouring unfiltered through the leafless trees, echoing with birdsong. The dog went completely bozo, although we didn't dare let him off lead just in case there were other ramblers about. But we turned out to be pretty much on our own.
Down in the valley bottom, the meander chuckled away to itself and the ground was strewn with wood anenomes and wild narcissus dancing in the breeze. Zola went for a paddle, searching for ragondins (this, a dog who is terrified of the hosepipe), and we wandered along for half a mile or so before having a quick drink and readying for the ascent.
This was something we'd managed to miss the last time we were here, and had ended up taking the 7km long way round by accident, so we were keen to find it this time. But it was a good job we saw people huffing and puffing as they came down it, because I would not have realised that this steep, rocky path was intended for human traffic at all.
The first bit of the climb was purgatory and it was at this point that i realised quite how wrongly dressed I was. Anticipating a bit of light and level trailing, I'd made the mistake of wearing thick cotton jersey layers, which were now soaking wet and clinging to me unpleasantly. Even stripping down to my singlet didn't help much as we pounded on upwards with the sun beating down.
Fortunately, the steepest bit of the climb gave way to a section that was more moderate, which enabled us to get our breath, but it's not a trail you want to stop on when you can see the top of the ridge still a long way above you, in case you can't get started again. Hiking sticks were needed once again on the top bit and I felt at every step that wintery, out-of-puff feeling of having not done enough physical exercise for a long time. Nevertheless, we had done the trail in 40 minutes instead of the hour recommended.
We stumbled out into the sunlight and I collapsed onto the grass, cursing my teeny female body which despite all my dog-walking, yoga and swimming, still can't keep pace with my lazy-arsed couch potato husband when he does actually decide to move.
Nor, on the way home, could I get my temperature right at all - freezing in the air-conditioning as my sweat dried on me, I don't know why I didn't think to change into the microfleece I'd brought with me and carried in my pack along the whole hike.
So, that is me taught. Never again will I go hiking without wearing wicking base layers. Sitting here in the garden, I'm trialling my 5 Seasons undies as wicking tees, and my mulberry silk thermal tops also seem to work pretty well. But I still see something like a Nike Dri-fit teeshirt in my future, with its mesh panels and wicking technology.
Once home, though, it was back to a more traditional form of air-conditioning. I peeled off my cold, damp layers and got into a kimono made of cotton ro - a thin Japanese leno weave with rows of tiny holes to allow the air to penetrate. And then we snored away in the garden for the rest of the afternoon. On the 25th of March? Unbelievable.

Lakers at a loss
COTTONWOOD – Some nights nothing seems to go your way, and for the Lakeview boys' basketball team that night was Monday.
The Lakers hosted the MACCRAY Wolverines in a Camden Conference showdown to close out the regular season and will enter the playoffs after sustaining one of their most lopsided defeats of the year. Behind a trio of double-digit scorers, the Wolverines mauled the Lakers to the tune of a 68-32 final.
MACCRAY (19-5 overall, 12-3 Camden) preyed on a poor shooting night for the Lakers, jumping out to a 17-2 lead with 12 minutes, 14 seconds to play in the first half.
Lakeview cracked double digits six minutes later, but only mustered 16 points in the first half and went into the locker room trailing 46-16.
"We struggled shooting tonight," Lakeview head coach Dan Hoffman said. "It didn't seem to want to go in for us at all."
The Wolverines had the opposite problem, as they seemingly could not miss in the opening half.
Taylor Thissen led the scoring charge for the Wolverines with 18 points, though 16 of those came before halftime. Carter Asche chipped in 17 points, as the 6-foot-9 center took advantage of Lakeview's lack of size in the opening 18 minutes. Asche had 15 points and three blocks before the break.
"They towered over us tonight," Hoffman said of MACCRAY's size. "We got into foul trouble with our only big and our other big is ill, so that leaves a big hole to fill."
Jonah Dovre had been the most consistent big man for the Lakers on the year, but missed the regular season finale due to illness. Lakeview's other center, Spencer Larsen, scored a team-high 11 points, but was the only Laker to reach double digits. He also battled foul trouble in the game, picking up four fouls by halftime.
Six-foot-5 forward Bailey Boike also had a strong game for the Wolverines, who received the No. 2 seed in Section 3A-North. Boike added 13 points for MACCRAY as the high-low game of the Wolverines wreaked havoc on the diminutive Lakers.
"It's huge when they've got two big guys that can do whatever they want, pretty much," Hoffman said. "It was a struggle to go inside after Spencer got into foul trouble."
Unable to battle on the inside, the Lakers were forced to hope that their poor shooting improved after halftime. It didn't, and the two team's slogged through the second half, with MACCRAY having the better play for longer stretches en route to their rout.
Another impact the lack of size had on the Lakers was on the glass. Lakeview (11-16, 6-11) had been averaging nearly 30 rebounds per game on the season. Without Dovre and with Larsen limited, the Lakers grabbed just 15 boards in the game.
Lakeview has until Thursday to get healthy and get the kinks out of its game. Having received the No. 6 seed in Section 3A-North, the Lakers open up the playoffs back in their home gym on Thursday against No. 11 seed E.C.H.O. Charter. The victor gets a shot at No. 3 seed Canby in Montevideo on Saturday.
"Hopefully we got it out of our system so the rest of the week will go smooth," Hoffman said.

Topic: swfobject and extended url weirdness
I'm trying to use swfobject on my site and I got it to work but it only works if the url is a short, non extended url. It's very strange. For example I have my routes set up so 'home' goes to 'store/home'. If i type in 'mysite/home' swfobject works. If I type in 'mysite/store/home' it does not work. Same goes whether or not it involves my custom routes. My use of swfobject is exactly the same on every page.

Oz Noy is fortunate enough to get the support of players who are more likely to work with high-paying legends than up-and-comers on a budget. In addition to the A-list players on Twisted Blues, Vol. 1—including Eric Johnson, Chris Layton, Roscoe Beck, Reese Wynans, Vinnie Colaiuta, Anton Fig, Will Lee, John Medeski, and Allen Toussaint—his trio has included drummers Dave Weckl (Chick Corea) and Mike Clark (Herbie Hancock), and bassists Jimmie Johnson (James Taylor, Allan Holdsworth) and James Genus (Michael Brecker, Herbie Hancock). We asked some of the players who've shared the stage and studio with Noy to talk about what lures them into working with him.
Keith Carlock
Session drummer (Steely Dan, Sting, Wayne Krantz)
"Oz and I moved to New York City around the same time in the late '90s and met on the downtown scene. We had similar influences, so we connected right away. He plays so effortlessly and makes it look so easy, but what is coming out is truly innovative. He always has a specific drum groove in mind, so he can be specific with what he wants, but then there are usually more open solo sections. Even when he covers a tune, it's got that unusual Oz stamp on it. He's super creative and one of the guitar players out there doing something truly unique."
Eric Johnson
Played on "You Are the State," loaned Noy his studio for the Austin sessions
"We had a day off on tour in New York, and I went down to the Bitter End to hear him. I had heard his record and I wanted to see this guy live. Then I saw him play in Austin. I sat in with him, he sat in with me, and we struck up a friendship. I think he has a fresh approach. His chord voicings are unique. He gets away with atonal stuff, but in a very musical way. He pushes the envelope, but it is intriguingly palatable. It is pleasing to listen to him play, because you get taken somewhere that is not typical. The way he uses pedals is a little bent—but what better way to use a pedal? I think that's what they are for."
Steve Lukather
Session whiz, Toto guitarist, played on Noy's 2009 album, Schizophrenic
"I first saw Oz when my dear pal Will Lee invited me to a gig. I was blown away. He has such a unique approach, not only playing-wise, but sonically—his use of effects, etc. I found him to be an amazing player, but in a really cool, quirky way. We have become friends, and I am a fan. He asked me to play some 'rock guitar'—which cracked me up—on his last CD, a sort of 'Beat It' riff like I played on the Michael Jackson original. It was a quick overdub. Oz knew what he wanted out of me and certainly did not need me. We had some laughs and I loved doing it. He is a monster player who deserves his success from hard work and a God-given talent."
Will Lee
House bassist on Late Show with David Letterman, first-call session player and singer
"As a writer, Oz keeps evolving from album to album. I first heard him was when Chris Parker handed me a cassette, saying, 'I'm doing gigs with this guy, and he'd love it if you would listen to him.' Back then, it didn't do it for me. But a year later, Anton Fig came to me with a newer tape and I was astounded at how Oz's writing had progressed. At that point, I was interested and started doing gigs with him. We've been playing ever since. As a guitarist, he is as good at playing pop music as he is at jazz and blues. His writing is rooted in any and all of the above. I always have a blast playing with Oz!"
Roscoe Beck
Session bassist (Eric Johnson, Robben Ford)
"Oz is an original—a very distinctive guitarist. He combines just about every element I've ever heard. Apart from his obvious abilities as a soloist, his rhythmic feel is fantastic—[and it's] all done with a sense of humor. He's an absolute joy to play with."
Youtube It
Witness Oz Noy's slithering, funky rhythms, off-the-wall phrasing, and wacky effects use in action on YouTube.
Noy, Lee, and Weckl get into some serious grooves, and then at the 4:45 mark Noy whips up some wickedly warped loops with his Line 6 M9.
Armed with his sunburst Custom Shop Strat, Noy conjures hauntingly beautiful voicings punctuated with Lenny Breau-style harmonics.
At this 2009 date at the Saxon Pub in Austin, Texas, Noy is joined onstage by Eric Johnson, Anton Fig, and Roscoe Beck for a funk-jazz rendition of "Schizophrenic."

Determine your eligibility
An SBA loan can offer certain benefits over other types of loans. So let's explore your business needs a little further to see if it's a good match for you.
The first step is to determine if your business qualifies as a "small business" under SBA guidelines. We'll work with you to review your specific business situation in detail, but the following guidelines can get you started:
- Company is a for-profit entity
- Proven industry and management experience
- Satisfactory credit
- Loan size of $100,000 to $5,000,000
- Guidelines regarding size of company vary by industry:
- Generally businesses with a maximum tangible net worth of $15,000,000, and
- The average net income after Federal income taxes (excluding any carryover losses) of the applicant for the 2 full fiscal years before the date of the application is not more than $5,000,000
All loans subject to SBA, collateral and underwriting requirements, and approval, including credit approval.

Window seats are coveted on airplanes. Ocean view rooms are considered an upgrade on cruises. A hotel room with a great view is a perk for most travelers. However, these rooms don't have great views. In fact, there is no view at all.
We're taking a look at a variety of underground accommodations from Arizona to Australia because sometimes travel is just about shutting out the rest of the world.
First up is the Grand Canyon Caverns Suite in Arizona. The caverns are described as the "darkest, deepest, quietest and largest suite room in the world." Don't believe it? The caverns are absent of any light and nothing lives in them, so the only thing moving or breathing in the caverns is you. To reach your quiet room, you take an elevator down 22 stories (yes, you read that right!). However, this suite comes at a price. The Cavern Suite is $700 per night as a double, $100 for each extra person. Call (928) 422-4565 for reservations.
Next on the list is the Desert Cave Hotel in South Australia. Subterranean isn't anything new for Australia. The Outback gets so hot, that many people retreat underground to the shopping, dining, church and accommodation locations. This hotel was chiseled out of the sandstone. Rates start around $200 per night. Email firstname.lastname@example.com for a reservation.

Good morning! I'm so happy to be back to share another tutorial. For those who don't know me, my name is Jennifer and I blog over at That Girl... That Quilt.
Is your kitchen the busiest part of your home? Mine definitely is. Not only do we cook and eat in there but it's also the catch-all for mail, homework, flyers and nearly everything else that doesn't instantly have a proper place. We also lose things in the shuffle like school papers, coupons, recipes and even gift cards. I won't even tell you how many Starbucks gift cards I found in our old "organizer"...
So when I was deciding what kind of tutorial I wanted to design and share today, I decided that for me, a clean and organized kitchen is a happy one. An organizer made good sense to me and I really liked the idea of using some of my favorite fabrics to make one!
1/2 yard of background fabric
1/2 yard for largest pocket
2 fat quarters {for your smaller pockets}
6 charm squares {5" squares} for card sized pockets
1/2 yard of backing fabric
1/4 yard for binding
coordinating thread
approx. 5" of ribbon
4 small metal curtain rings {I'll also talk about other alternatives}
3 grommets with the accompanying {and very important} grommet tool!
3 eye hooks
transfer paper made to transfer images to fabric
all your other usual sewing notions
Cut your fabric:
background fabric - 25"x30"
1/2 yard for large pocket - 26"x11"
1 fat quarter for medium pocket - 18"x10"
1 fat quarter for two small pockets - two pieces each measuring 13"x11"
cut 5" squares for smallest pockets if you don't have charm squares
If you choose to leave a blank space like me for clips to hang papers... just leave it blank for now.
You are now ready to baste, quilt and bind just like you would do on any other quilt! If you have questions about basting or binding, I have tutorials here & here. :)
Once you are done with your labels, you are ready to hang your organizer and stuff it full of all the coupons, recipes, etc that are cluttering your kitchen!!
Thanks for having me again today, it's always fun to be here! I hope you will come visit me over at That Girl... That Quilt soon.
Jennifer :)

Mrs. Flinger: A work in progress
UPDATE TO Mrs. Flinger October 16, 2015
Because the Universe has a wicked sense of humor, after this delcaration, my blog threw up all over my last upgrade.
So I'm starting over using Craft. Turning 40 and kid entering Jr High next year, sometimes it's just time for a change. These archives will still exist in the way the last child goes off to college and their room is the same for 20 years, but it's just time to move forward.
It's Friday? WTF? Jun 24, 2005
MIL left today about noon. I woke up at 11am this morning for the first actual sleep I've had in 6 days. Aside from sweating, tossing and turning, not breathing, puking and not being able to eat, the last week is a blur. I was finally given antibiotics on Wednesday night after going back to the doctor. I
had Strep Throat. Strep is not a terminal illness, but I swear, I was dying.
I'm 36 hours into antibiotics and while my throat still holds on to some of the pussy legions (groooossss), there are a lot less of them, I can (almost) swallow and I feel like dancing. Kinda.
I'm busy, y'all. BUSY. I got another class to teach this August, I have a few designs and I'm scrounging up my past work (which sucks.. woah.. I didn't realize how much I've learned) to add to my portfolio. I'm torn if I should even post past work. Of course I'm capable of more now, but it's a simple design that I used to use, so I probably will tout it.
The book club.. Ahhh, yes.. are y'all reading?? I've been sick and able to read Hypocrite in a Puffy White Dress for hours, y'all. HOURS. I'm on page 260-something. Y'all, this book KICKS ASSSS. I love it. I've laughed amid fever chills and puking. THAT is a good book. It's been great to go to a place where I'm not me, I'm not dying, and I'm a lesbian newspaper reporter (my favorite chapter thus far) instead. So, lemme know where y'all are at. You've got another week or so.. (we can extend it if you want). In fact, how's this? Shall we.. say.. extend Hypocrite in a Puffy White Dress until July 10th and start Harry Potter on July 16th? Anyone up for that?
Is there onion in my carrot cake or am I pregnant? Jun 22, 2005
#Rants and Raves#got pee sticks?
Did I tell you that when I was pregnant, everything smelled like onion? My friend's shampoo was onion. My husband seeped onion into our room at night while he breathed and I'd come in from the bathroom and gag from the smell. The dish soap was onion. The laundry, fresh out of the dryer, smelled like onion. I gagged from all the onion smell all the time. I grew to hate onions. I still cant eat them.
What I've really been up to besides puking Jun 21, 2005
I'm not just about lying in bed feeling like totally crap. heckno. I've got things brewin'.
chicka chicka bow wow **Edited** Jun 20, 2005
So, the good news is I'm not dying. It's a virus. A good ol' shitty virus. I went to the doctor, came home, curled up in a freezing cold ball under two down comforters and fell asleep for a few hours. I was at 101.5 when I came home and now am back down (PRAISE THE LORD FOR TYLENOL) to 99.
Did I tell you I have pink eye? I do. Yea, gave myself a freakin' infection from RUBBING MY EYE TOO MUCH with allergies. Sexy. Also? I'm hot and sitting on the bed now, in my bra tank and panties and the satelite guy just came to fix the satelite. It's like some really really really bad porno…..
"Hey, sexy, can I rub my eye on you or cough all over your sexy handsome body? Yea, baby.. I'm hot.. feel me.. fevery hot.. **cough cough** **wretch, puke** Rauuur…"
**Mr. Flinger is here to take care of me so at no time did the satelite guy actually SEE my sexy body (poor him, hu?) But the stupid guy left the back gate open FIVE HOURS AGO and one of our dogs took off. Buddy is gone. Y'all… where the HELL could Buddy have gone to?? Have you ever lost a dog? Damn mutt. Our numbers are on his tag. It'd be nice if someone called (if he's not dead on the busy road near by)... :(
Come home Buddy.. Come home!
Have I told you I'm a hypochondriac? I am and this can't be good. Jun 20, 2005
I woke up today with a 101.5 fever. I'm sick, ya'll. Achy, tummy, stuffy, sore throat sick. Also, my neck hurts. I figured it's from being all achy? Well, the nurse just asked if I had a stiff neck, yes, I say, I do. That answer got me an appointment. Shit. What does that mean? She said, "Just to be sure it's not something more serious."
Now I'm scared I'm going to die.. must… google.. stiff… neck…
Oh, lord… bacterial meningitis? Spinal tap?? Surely they won't do a spinal tap on me… right? RIGHT?!
Ok, so it's probably just the virus LB had, right.. ok.. I'm breathing.. have all the symptoms.. am.. breathing..
"Early diagnosis and treatment is the key to survival with normal function and no deafness." Well, that's good.
A letter to the Feds Jun 18, 2005
Dear the Federal Government:
I realize you are busy, you know, saving our ass, collecting taxes and taking over the world and all that but I have a request. Can you please please make the use of cell phones in public illegal? You see, old women have no idea they are not the only people in the universe. It is, without a doubt, a daily occurrence that some middle-age woman will get a call and yell, "HELLO? HELLO? WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU. WHAT? I'M AT [fill in the blank]. OH, YES, WELL MARVEY GOT HIS COCK-N-BALLS LOOKED AT AND THE DOCTOR SAID IT'S A VIRAL FUNGUS. I KNOW. WELL, YOU SEE, THERE'S ALL THIS PUSS AND…."
Although the real trouble with the world is a lack of community and general compassion, there also seems to be a great misunderstanding of public space. If you could find it in your heart to ban cell phones, or perhaps ban loud, obnoxious middle-aged women? Either way, the world would become a better place.
Yours truly,
A woman coming into middle aged much too quickly but who has the social understanding that a cell phone can be spoken into just like a regular phone. Thankyouverymuch.
Part 2 bitchin' Jun 17, 2005
Oh, eff it. I can't remember part 2 or 3. I got a chocolate chip cookie and somehow forgot.
I could come up with something.. I'm sure.. but I'm too busy enjoying my cookie.
I wish life was that easy.
For Karma's sake Jun 17, 2005
To weigh out my bitchy post, I thought I'd add that today I zipped on my size 10 pre pregnancy jeans. Oh, sure, I can't sit down or take a deep breath, but they're on. Never mind my belly spillover, but looky! THEY ARE ON!
Would you do it? Jun 16, 2005
Could you stay motivated if you might win a million dollars? Yea, I don't know if I could, either, but I'm gonna try.
Breastfeeding and Blogging Jun 15, 2005
Sarah hit on a topic that I feel very strongly about. It's so hard when you don't breastfeed, for any reason by your own choice or not, to have all the judgement pushed onto you when you feed your child in public.
I've had checkout girls at Costco tell me I could save money if I bfead. No, shit, really? Is it about saving money? And what does she care? She had the nerve, after I said, "yea, I tried but it didn't work out for us," to say, "Well, you have to give it at least two weeks." AS IF SHE KNEW.
This is a whole contraversial topic that really hits a lot of women in the heart. If you do or don't bfeed, I don't really care. But please oh please don't tell ME what to do. 'Cause just maybe, maybe, I wanted to breastfeed but I couldn't and after my uterin infection had me in the hospital for a couple of days and the high fever I had and the 14 hours in the ER, perhaps it just didn't work out for me with my breast reduction. And you know what? I don't need YOU to make me feel guilty about it. 'Cause even if I had chosen not to, that'd be ok, too.

Treehoppers (more precisely typical treehoppers to distinguish them from the Aetalionidae) and thorn bugs are members of the family Membracidae, a group of insects related to the cicadas and the leafhoppers. About 3,200 species of treehoppers in over 600 genera are known. They are found on all continents except Antarctica, although only three species are found in Europe.
They are best known for their enlarged and ornate pronotum, which most often resembles thorns, apparently to aid camouflage. In some species, the pronotum grows to a horn-like extension, but even more bizarre and hard-to-describe shapes are also found.
Thorn bugs, due to their unusual appearance, have long interested naturalists. Distinguishing males from females is accomplished only by looking at the male genitalia. Individual treehoppers usually live for only a few months, but they belong to a lineage that is at least 40 million years old.
A team from the Institute of Developmental Biology of Marseille-Luminy in 2011 provide good evidence that the specialised pronotum (or helmet) is not simply an expansion of the prothoracic sclerite, but a fused pair of dorsal appendages of the first thoracic segment, serial homologues of insect wings, which are dorsal appendages of the second and/or third thoracic segments. (Anatomical evidence: The helmet arises as a pair of appendages, attached to each side of the dorsal prothorax by an articulation, with muscles and flexible membrane that allow it to be mobile. Genetic evidence: the same genes are involved in development of the helmet and wings.[1])
Treehoppers pierce plant stems with their beaks, and feed upon sap. The immatures can frequently be found on herbaceous shrubs and grasses, whereas the adults more often frequent hardwood tree species. Excess sap becomes concentrated as honeydew, which often attracts ants. Some species have a well-developed ant mutualism, and these species are normally gregarious, as well, which attracts more ants. The ants provide protection from predators. Treehoppers mimic thorns to prevent predators from spotting them.
Others have formed mutualisms with wasps, such as Parachartergus apicalis.[2] Even geckos form mutualistic relations with treehoppers, with whom they communicate by small vibrations of the abdomen.[3]
Eggs are laid by the female with her saw-like ovipositor in slits cut into the cambium or live tissue of stems, though some species lay eggs on top of leaves or stems. The eggs may be parasitised by wasps, such as the tiny fairyflies (Mymaridae) and Trichogrammatidae. The females of some membracid species sit over their eggs to protect them from predators and parasites, and may buzz their wings at intruders. The females of some gregarious species work together to protect each others' eggs. In at least one species, Publilia modesta, mothers serve to attract ants when nymphs are too small to produce much honeydew. Some other species make feeding slits for the nymphs.[4]
Like the adults, the nymphs also feed upon sap, and unlike adults, have an extensible anal tube that appears designed to deposit honeydew away from their bodies. The tube appears to be longer in solitary species rarely attended by ants. It is important for sap-feeding bugs to dispose of honeydew, as otherwise it can become infected with sooty moulds. Indeed, one of the evident benefits of ants for individuals of the species Publilia concava is the ants remove the honeydew and reduce such growth.
Most species are innocuous to humans, although a few are considered minor pests, such as Umbonia crassicornis (a thorn bug), the three-cornered alfalfa hopper (Spissistilus festinus), or the buffalo treehopper (Stictocephala bisonia), which has been introduced to Europe. The cowbug Oxyrachis tarandus is recently recorded as a pest of Withania somnifera plant [5] from India.
The diversity of treehoppers has been rather little researched, and their systematic arrangement is tentative. It seems three main lineages can be distinguished; the Endoiastinae are the most ancient treehoppers, still somewhat resembling cicadas. Centrotinae form the second group; they are somewhat more advanced but the pronotum still does not cover the scutellum in almost all of these. The Darninae, Heteronotinae, Membracinae and Smiliinae contain the most apomorphic treehoppers.
Several proposed subfamilies seem to be paraphyletic. Centronodinae and Nicomiinae might need to be merged into the Centrotinae to result in a monophyletic group. And while most the Stegaspidinae also appear to belong there, united by genera such as Smerdalea and Smergotomia, members of the "Stegaspidinae" in fact appear to be distributed all across the treehoppers, and the taxon is probably best abolished altogether.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (72 votes).
Date of review: May 17, 2009
In short: Great local race, good support, organisation, bonus doughnut!In full: As I live locally had the opportunity to test out the course several times prior to the race so I didn't find the hills particularly challenging and I really enjoyed the event itself, had a great race, loved the locals cheering you on at ally park and the quality t-shirt & doughnut at the end was an added bonus! Only small gripe is the inaccurate course distance and timing, but generally a good race for everyone, will be back next year!Date of review: June 9, 2008
In short: I didn't get the doughnut nor the T-shirt... Must have been so thrilled with my time that I ran home as soon as I crossed the finish line !! We'll have to do it next yearDate of review: May 27, 2008
In short: excellent support all the way from start to finishIn full: Quite a testing course, lots of obstructions to avoid and some tight corners,(musn't forget to mention the hills). Overall this was a special local community event, pleased to have been a part of it. Definitely do it next year. Anyone know about official times and places?Date of review: May 20, 2008
In short: Great run through my local areaIn full: This is a really nice run - lots of local support, all abilities, plenty of added extras (like the dougnuts and drinks) and a good tie-in with the fete in the park. Thanks.Date of review: May 20, 2008
In short: loved the doughnut...In full: It was my second year and will definatelly do it again.Best part: free doughnut, good quality Tshirt, a new PB, friendly athmosphere, a nice day out.Didn't like: having to pay for the changing roomDate of review: May 19, 2008
In short: Great atmosphere. Lovely family dayIn full: Excellent marshalling/policing for the area and good general organisation. Only gripes: no chip timing, and I'm not sure about having the water station at the bottom of the hill! Great atmosphere though & the kids events afterwards make it a lovely family day.Date of review: May 19, 2008
In short: Great atmosphere great crowd a really well organised event.In full: This is my 2nd Hornsey and will not be my last by a long way. 2 years ago there were some complaints about the finishing funnels but this year there was no problem, the organisation was nothing short of excellentand that includes the marshalling and policing. The run is tough as the terrain and topology changes and the hill climb 2nd time around hurts like hell but the support is terrific and spurs you on. Undoubtedly the best part is the crowd not only along the route but also at the finish, everyone is upbeat and friendly and I have never seen so many families at an event and yes, the dougnut at the end is very worthwhile :). My only gripe is that despite the entry fee we still had to pay for storage at the YMCA, although the money did go to charity, my concern was that I only travelled with some change on me.Definitely one for the calender, we'll be there next year.Date of review: May 19, 2008
In short: My first 10k for 20yrs I loved it!In full: Ran with a friend and started at the back which meant passing lots of people and feeling really good about myself. Lots of support throughout but really would have needed more water if it had been hotter. Finish was not great, the clock actually stopped working so many who finished didn't get a time or correct position.But I still enjoyed the race - my kids did too!Date of review: May 19, 2008

U.S. Department of Justice
United States Attorney
Eastern District of New York
July 23, 2010
Senior Managers of GDC Acquisitions Holding Company Charged in Brooklyn, N.Y., with Bank Fraud Conspiracy
Conspirators Used False Financial Information to Obtain $21 Million in Fraudulent Loans
BROOKLYN, N.Y. – A criminal complaint was unsealed today in federal court in Brooklyn charging the senior managers of GDC Acquisitions LLC with bank fraud conspiracy arising out of their scheme to use false financial information to obtain $21 million in loans from Amalgamated Bank, an FDIC insured institution. The defendants are Courtney Dupree, 41, GDC's president; Rodney Watts, 39, chief investment officer; Thomas Foley, 42, chief operating officer; and Frank Patello, 56, former chief financial officer. GDC is a holding company that owns various subsidiaries, including JDC Lighting, a lighting distributor; Unalite Electric and Lighting, a lighting maintenance company; and Hudson Bay Environments Group, a furniture distributor.
The defendants were arrested earlier today, and their initial appearances had been scheduled today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Ramon E. Reyes at the U.S. Courthouse, 225 Cadman Plaza East, Brooklyn.
The charges were announced by Loretta E. Lynch, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, George C. Venizelos, Acting Assistant Director-in-Charge, FBI, New York, and Ronald J. Verocchio, Inspector-in-Charge, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, New York.
As alleged in the complaint, the defendants gave Amalgamated Bank financial information for GDC on which they had fraudulently inflated the company's accounts receivable in order to obtain initially, and then maintain, credit lines totaling approximately $21 million. For example, the defendants represented to Amalgamated Bank in writing in November 2009 that GDC had $25.2 million in accounts receivable when, in fact, it had only $9 million. The complaint alleges that the conspirators inflated the accounts receivable by a variety of means, including by booking fictitious sales. In addition, the complaint alleges that the conspirators defrauded Amalgamated Bank by causing GDC to acquire a company covertly, contrary to the terms of their loan agreement, and by concealing the acquisition from the bank.
"The defendants allegedly defrauded an FDIC insured bank out of millions of dollars by lying about their company's financial condition," stated U.S. Attorney Lynch. "Those who abuse their positions of influence and trust can expect to be investigated and prosecuted to the full extent of the law."
"The defendants allegedly committed a multimillion-dollar accounting fraud. They accomplished this by a plan that was as simple as it was audacious. In plain language, they're charged with cooking the books, grossly overstating receivables, and therefore the company's bottom line. The alleged misrepresentation isn't just lying. It's stealing," stated FBI Acting Assistant Director-in-Charge Venizelos.
"Postal Inspectors working with the United States Attorney and the FBI are committed to ensuring the integrity of the banking system by investigating and prosecuting those individuals who defraud financial institutions in New York for their personal benefit," stated Postal Inspector-in-Charge Verocchio.
The charges are merely allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. If convicted, each defendant faces a maximum sentence of 30 years' imprisonment.
The government's case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael L. Yaeger and Evan Weitz.
This case was brought in coordination with President Barack Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. President Obama established the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force to wage an aggressive, coordinated, and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general, and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.

Broken Road
Student Isaac Mukaasa shows off a DuncanAfrica model with a Broken Road inlay.
Luthier Jay Duncan came up with his "Broken Road" inlay design during the formative years of his charity, DuncanAfrica. He was living in Africa, bored and sick with the flu at the time, when inspiration hit. "I thought to myself, 'I'm going to make a fancy guitar.'" He used koa, mugavu, maple, cow bone, and ebony to create the inlay pattern that lines the headstock, rosewood neck, and fretboard of this Selah OM-CR from the Suubi series.

The UTMB Fun Run - Page 7
The organizers were quick to pat themselves on the back for organizing a second race in just over four hours. When asked why they did not have an alternative in place from the beginning (most especially since the forecast predicted "apocalyptic" weather over five days in advance), Poletti replied, "Quite simply because there isn't one. You cannot claim to have done the Tour du Mont Blanc if you do not pass by the Col du Bonhomme or the Col de la Seigne, for example."
Contradicting herself, she continued, "Strictly speaking, there is no fallback course for the Tour du Mont Blanc." When asked why they sent out text messages rather than posting the information on their website, she maintained that the cell phone was a required piece of equipment in every athlete's pack and therefore the best form of communication.
North Face athlete, Mike Wolfe, admits that he would not have been notified if it were not for his North Face sponsorship. "They (his North Face sponsors) called my room at 8 a.m. and I had to be on the bus by 8:20," he said.
Rushing out of the lobby and into the street, Clifford and I ran into Kilian loading last of his belongings into his car. He managed to convince only Heras to join him for the five hour drive into Italy for the marathon the following day (where they came in first and second respectively).
Following the rapid inhalation of espressos and croissants, David and I bid the two good luck and made for the Col de Montes—a pass near the boarder of France and Switzerland, 12 miles from the finish line, where the lead runners would arrive within the hour. From there, they would climb a final 2500 feet before making the long descent back to Chamonix. En route, we learned that the winner of the inaugural UTMB and perennial favorite, Dawa Sherpa, of Nepal had led for much of the first half but was losing places rapidly. Hawker, as most had suspected, was leading the women's race, unchallenged.
When we arrived at Col du Montes, 10 hours into the abbreviated race, British runner Jez Bragg maintained a five-minute lead on Wolfe. Sherpa, now in ninth place and dropping, had been reduced to walking. With his hands clasped behind his back and his gaze directed at the trail ahead he took on the likeness of a monk contemplating something profound. Walking behind him, I dared interrupt his meditation to ask if he was annoyed at the turn of events—running 20 miles in the cold rain, being pulled from the course, then, 12 hours later with little to no sleep, setting off for another 55 miles. He looked back at me and smiled calmly. "This, too, is part of the race," he said and carried on.

Hello blog-dudes and blog-ettes!
This is Zombie again bringing you some cool news! On Thursday, November 10th at 7:00PM in the famous Dragon's Den we will be hosting a couple of amazing guests from Lucasfilm Animation to give a talk on CG and Live Action Pre-Production!
Our first guest Adam Holmes has been a filmmaking professional for 15 years, with a career spanning live action production, commercial and music video animation, software development, feature film pre-visualization and story layout. Adam is a graduate of the film school at Columbia College in Chicago, and his love of classic cartoons, sci-fi movies and passion for cinematography influenced his career path. His first break in animation was in 1996 as a lighting/FX artist at Big Idea studios in Chicago, creators of "Veggie Tales." In an abrupt, but positive career move, Adam traveled the world for Discreet/Autodesk demonstrating software and training clients on the latest 3D tools and techniques. He then moved into visual effects and previz combining his knowledge of live action cinematography and CG production. He was a previz supervisor and VFX camera assistant for "Superman Returns" and a co-Director of Photography for TMNT. Adam is now working at LucasFilm Animation.
Credits include:
Superman Returns
TMNT (Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles)
Alice in Wonderland
Night of the Museum 2
And our second guest Chris Sherrod had a love of animation stretching all the way back to infancy. Saturday Mornings in front of the TV was where he was introduced to the greats like Chuck Jones and Tex Avery. He persued art in school but quickly came to the realization that drawing something that looked like something was hard and soon found himself working in Graphic Design because things that don't look like things exactly is called "Style". Animation seemed to be beyond his grasp. That all changed in 1997 when Toy Story showed him Drawing was uneccessary to create Animation. The light dawned and he found himself in beautiful Las Colinas, TX doing Final Layout for DNA Productions' production of Jimmy Neutron. His name firmly ensconced in light, he was hooked and jumped in with both feet because animation that doesn't look like Animation is called "Story".
Credits include:
Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius
The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron
The Ant Bully
Kung-Fu Panda
Alpha & Omega
The Little Engine
Unannounced Lucasfilm Animation Project
Hope you guys will be there! I know I will be!

Early childhood education offers foundation for learning
MARQUETTE – Early childhood education is the new buzz phrase in the state of Michigan, as Gov. Rick Snyder has pledged to continue funding early education programs throughout the state.
He called for a "major budget commitment" to early childhood programming during his Jan. 16 State of the State address.
Marquette County YMCA's Early Childhood Development Center, located inside the Vandenboom Center in Marquette, is one local program that offers a high level of quality for parents looking to give their young children a foundation leading into kindergarten .
Cheryl Lewis, the Y's child development leader, said early childhood education was no longer something that simply provides a benefit for young kids, only offering an edge over the competition. Now, she said, it's a necessity.
"They need to have it," Lewis said. "It gives them the foundation they need to start. The skills they need in order to be successful once they start kindergarten. "
It appears kids are never to young for their formal education to begin, either. Lewis said the Y's program offers instruction for kids as young as 6 weeks. The teachers help the children work on developing motor skills by having a routine "tummy time." They are also read to, to help begin fostering early literacy skills.
That type of instruction is continued, all the way through the Y's program, which offers classes for infants, toddlers as well as school age children.
Lewis said the formal instruction is not just good for the students academically, but also helps the student learn the crucial social skills they'll need to have to be successful in the K-12 education system.
"It helps build positive relationships with their peers, with adults," Lewis said. "They learn to work cooperatively together. We also work on their language, they're getting a jump start on their expressive vocabulary. We have family style meals, where we sit with the kids, interact and talk to them during that time. They are engaged in a lot of conversations.
"I think it definitely helps increase their vocabulary," Lewis added. "We work on things like solving problems, making connections, recognizing symbols and images, understanding characteristics of living things. We do all of that as well as deliver the literacy part."
Many area parents are recognizing the need to have their kids start their education young.
Lewis said every class offered at the Vandenboom Center, with the exception of the school-age children class, currently has a waiting list.
The Y's program is one of few in the state that have earned accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
Lewis said it is a prestigious accreditation that is not easy to come by.
Part of the accreditation requires the program's lead teachers to be certified. Lewis said all the lead teachers in the Y's early education program have a degree in either early childhood education or child development. And, all of the assistant teacher are either currently pursuing an education degree or have an associate's degree.
Though classes are full, Lewis said parents looking to enroll their children in the program can contact the Vandenboom center at 237-1121.

Carl loved the Lord, his family and his country. He made the world a better place and he will be missed.
He is survived by his children: Tracy (William) Murphy of Longmont, Colo., Jon Mathews (Lane) Hagberg of Jamestown, N.Y., and Carla (Robert) Sakson of Trenton, N.J.; foster sons: Stuart (Valerie) Alexander of Liberty, N.Y., and Carl (Melinda) Alexander of Ft.

A funeral celebrating Carl's life will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday in First Covenant Church. The Rev. Adam Rohler will officiate.
Burial will be in Allen Cemetery.
Friends will be received from 4-7 p.m. Monday in the Lind Funeral Home.

How Hard Is It To Make A Piano Speak Like A Human? Very.
October 8, 2009 · Print This Article
How hard is it to make a Piano sound even remotely like a human voice? Well Austrian composer Peter Ablinger spent a few years to create a sound wave to note translation system that gets pretty close. The video is of the system in action reading text from the "Proclamation of the European Environmental Criminal Court at the 2009 World Venice Forum". Watch and be amazed at just how many keys it takes in succession to even get close to a single human vowel.

Skip to comments.Giant 'UFO fragment' falls from the sky in Siberia
Posted on 03/23/2012 10:13:27 PM PDT by bruinbirdman
The U-shaped object, resembling a silvery dome, is currently under inspection by Russian experts, after being covertly removed under cover of night from the possession of villagers who found it.
After discovering the device on Sunday, locals from the village of Otradnesnky had managed to drag the UFO fragment from the thick forest where it had fallen. They attached it onto a trailer and took it through the snow to their village, where local inspectors then examined it before alerting Moscow authorities.
In an official statement, Sergey Bobrov, who found the object, agreed to keep it safe.
But following their stealthy removal of the 200-kilogram metal fragment, police have it under close guard, on orders from unnamed authorities.
The device has not had its provenance confirmed as of yet. However, the object does not come from a rocket or missile or be in any way associated with terrestrial space technology, it has been announced.
The object found is not related to space technology. A final conclusion can be made after a detailed study of the object by experts, said Roscosmos, theRussianspace agency.
Experts have also examined the object to determine whether it poses a hazard.
We measured the radiation level near and inside the object. We found no radiation here, said Yuri Bornyakov, who heads the rescue service department of the Kuybyshevsky district in the Novosibirsk region.
Part of the fragment is made of ultra-strong titanium, said Valery Vasiliev,
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
Run a diagnostic Mr. Worf.
Aye sir...What the hell?
Aviation and space ping.
Titanium, eh? Maybe a submarine exploded. :0
Donnie Darko knew something like this would happen. Nobody listened.
Did YOU listen?
I didn't listen.
See? Told ya.
But he knew.....
He knew.
Darn, those muzzie kids are blowing up manhole covers again... a wee bit too much explosives!
Who knows what you might find stumbling around in the woods?
It looks like the first stage "cap" for a rocket (possibly a Zenit).
The amazing thing to me is that part of it
looks like a van. Wierd.
Oh oh, could it be a Tardis?
Strange video at the site, seems to show
something in the sky, then a house with a hole in
the roof, then the big object on the ground.
Looks like the top of a silo.
could it be connected to THIS??
I hope it didn't fall on that Siberian mammoth.
All that they need now is to find an F-shaped object and an O-shaped object, and they'll have the complete UFO.
...That's what they WANT you to believe.
Don't buy it. Mooses bit their sisters. They cannot be trusted. Stuned their Beibers too...
The van is in the background.
Pretty light for it's size...it looks like it is on its back and there are rollers along the top edge....Part of a helicopter?? Radar?
Part of a turbine??
One think you know for sure. It is not part of a Chevy Volt. 1) They barely attain enough power to cross and intersection let alone go airborne,2) platicizers arn't leaking form this thing, and 3) there are no plug in stations for oh......several thousand miles.
It might be part of the air force's super secret Aurora aircraft - it could be a part that fell off during one of it's super-duper secret recon missions!
THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY! Take it to the end of the world and drop it off.
april first comming up...just sayin
Siberia must be like "Disney World" to aliens or something...
...and they all drive like it's Orlando.
Oh great, just like Michigan has become the dumping ground for Canadian trash, it looks like aliens are using our galaxy for theirs........
Thanks for the ping. Looks pretty conventional, to me.
Nothing worth winding up the rabidly hostile-to-the-truth social stars around here, over.
After years of hearing about alien abductions, body probes of human and animal orifices, hybrid babies, and UFO drive-bys, etc. I've started to suspect that the rest of the universe considers our planet as something akin to. NYC's Port Authority Bus Station ( or pick the Inner City Hellhole of your choice).
Ya Know, there's always someone that has to
come along and destroy my carefully constructed
It's not a Volt BECAUSE: It wasn't a fireball!!
I'm sure that by now, someone is laughing their butt off..because they know what it is......but who are they to interfere??
If it were found in my part of the mountains, there'd be a grain/sugar concoction fermenting in it
Okay, you might be right about that one. But how do explain that the object is covered in shaving cream?
The diameter of a Proton is 4.1 metres, and this object looks like it has a diameter less than four metres.
Looks like some kind of fan unit....Is there a prize if we guess right?
Once, FR was filled with critical thinkers.
OK..Facts in evidence: Unknown object falls from sky covered in shaving cream.
Pretty much stands to reason that someone was going to shave it DON'T YA' THINK????
God, some people.....
Either way,we both think it is some bit of debris from a rock.
Rocket, not rock.
If it was from the earth it would have writing on it,
NO STEP, Beware of explosive bolts, Passengers will
please refrain...
Your brother served on Kwajalein? Man, I knew a guy who was there for a bit in the early 1990s; he said that was the most remote duty assignment he had.
As good a guess as any.
But, the object was found last Sunday. There is no indication of how long the thing might have been there before it was found. Could have been a year, a . . . . .

Review of variable quality trials finds that warming local anaesthetic to body temperature reduces self-reported pain of infiltration by 11 mm on a 100 mm rating scale
- Orthopaedic Training Rotation North Western Deanery NHS North West Manchester, UK
- Correspondence to Jawad Sultan
ST4 Trauma and Orthopaedics Royal Oldham Hospital Rochdale Road, Oldham, Manchester OL1 2JH, UKjsultan{at}hotmail.co.uk
Implications for practice and research
Warming local anaesthetic solution to body temperature reduces pain from infiltration.
In places where local anaesthetic is frequently used, for example in accident and emergency, warming local anaesthetic before infiltrating it is a simple and inexpensive way to reduce further pain in patients, using readily available equipment.
Future research should investigate the combined effect of warming and buffering the local anaesthetic solutions on the pain of its infiltration.
Local anaesthetic is frequently used in emergency settings as well as in elective surgical and dental procedures. The pain associated with injecting the local anaesthetic is not only due to the needle stick, but is also due to the …

Chocolate Babka
Recipe courtesy of Gale Gand
- Sweet Dreams
My family never made this because it takes too long. We always bought it at one of the great Russian or Polish bakeries in Chicago. But[ I learned this one from Lydia, the breakfast chef where I worked in Rochester. I used to show up for work two hours early (at 6 am!) to bake with her in the morning while she simmered her pea soup when the chef wasn't around to see. She taught me her family recipes like Austrian Shortbread, Chicken Liver Dumplings and this Babka. She used candied fruit and raisins. You can use cinnamon, too.]
- Sponge:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 ounces cake yeast
- 2 cups warm milk
- Dough:
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 10 egg yolks
- 2 eggs
- 4 to 5 cups all-purpose flour, as needed
- 1/2 cup butter, clarified
- Filling:
- 14 ounces almond paste
- 5 egg whites
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Make the sponge: Combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and warm milk; then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature 1 hour.
Make the dough: In bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a whisk, mix together the sugar, vanilla, salt, egg yolks and eggs until well blended. Fit the mixer with a dough hook, add the flour and sponge, and mix until combined; then drizzle in the butter. Mix with the dough hook until incorporated.
Place it in a greased bowl, covered, and let it rest and rise until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, make the filling: Fit the mixer with the paddle attachment and mix together the almond paste, egg whites, and butter. Add the chocolate and mix until combined.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly flour a work surface, turn out the dough and punch it down to release the built up gases. Divide the dough in 1/2. Cover 1 piece with a damp towel as you roll the other
piece into a rectangle 8 by 14 inches and 1/4-inch thick. Let the dough rest while you roll the other out. Spread each with 1/2 of the filling, then roll them up jellyroll style and pinch the seams to seal them. Flatten the dough slightly with a rolling pin, then twist the dough 6 to 8 times. Allow the dough to rest a few minutes. Make spirals with the dough and place them in 2 greased 8-inch cake pans. (Alternatively, lay the dough straight out in 2 greased tube pans.) Cover each pan with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in volume, about 30 to 60 minutes.
Bake the cakes for 45 minutes; then let cool in the pan.

Topic: after_initialize not being called
Just updated rails from 3.0 to latest 3.2.8 and did the ruby switch to 1.9.3.
I updated my application got the kinks ironed out that I ran into. However, now my after_initialize defined as a method in my models that inherit from ActiveRecord::Base are not being run when I either do a find or new.
I am clueless as to why this is happening and have read a ton of documentation, posts, scrolled through numerous searches, etc.
Anyone have anything I can try or willing to give me a lightbulb moment?
FYI, I did try to define after_find() and print a test string. No joy.
