A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
I watched the whole film, it's bad.... very.
So what that you can see the dark inside of me?

Recently approximately 70 senior citizens from around Emery County went on a road trip through Emery and Wayne counties. In each town, seniors gathered at the senior center and buses picked them up for a trip to the first on a day filled with fun stops.
Their first stop was at Goblin Valley. The Green River group brought salads and rolls to go along with the Dutch oven dinner cooked by Blaine and Raline Rowley of Castle Dale.
At the park, they toured the goblins, and they met some very interesting tourists from Germany and other places. When lunch was served, the tourists in the park were welcomed to join the group for a little Utah hospitality.
Following lunch and the goblin tour, the group reboarded the buses for the scenic route home. They proceeded through Hanksville, up through Capitol Reef, and on to Bicknell. In Bicknell, they stopped at a cafe, where the specialty is pickle pie and pinto bean pie. Each of the seniors came away with their own opinion of the off-beat pies.
On the ride home, the group stopped at Fish Lake and toured the visitor center there.

Well, folks, it's been a great run, but...Well...To put it bluntly, I'm done here.
You'll still probably see me around, but I won't be making any conscious efforts to post anymore. Consider this the last post of the user known as Hagane, the Ice Nomad.
It's been a lot of fun, I've made some great friends, and a couple of enemies too (hey, just like high school!). There's a lot of stuff I wanna say to a lot of people, but I'll just pm the ones in question, or you can pm me.
Well, this is me, signing off.

Fantastic Shoe, especially for the price!
"I love Liz Claiborne shoes because they look great and do not skimp on comfort. This is my third pair of Liz Claiborne shoes from DSW and they have not once been a disappointment. The shoes are slightly wide and slightly long but the overall fit is great. I am looking forward to wearing these for both work and play. Great bargain. Wish DSW carried more Liz Claiborne styles as you can comfortably wear them ALL day at work and still get lots of compliments as the shoes look great."

Customer Reviews - Canada
Replaces ALL OTHER golf apps
Very impressed with this app. Used it for the first time today. Was very easy to use and extremely accurate. Was move knowing my yardage everywhere
This is a great golf GPS and stat tracker, for a fraction of the price of a stand alone product.
Accurate yardages. Great way to track stats. Like more interaction with fellow Golfshot members but really like the app overall. Had app for 3 years and couldn't be happier
This app is a must for any golfer whether serious or casual. Dont waste your money on a golf gps that costs a monthly or yearly service charge. The gps is nice but the best part of this app is the score and stats keeping. Recommend it to EVERYONE!!
It's worth the money and the company is responsive to changes.
Worth every penny!
The app is awesome and contains many features that my sky caddie doesn't have.
This is by far the best golf app available! My golfing friends all ask why I would buy an app for golf when there are free ones available, yet this app continues to out perform all those free apps! Closer accuracy when display yardages, better features including aerial, and "landscape" views! And best of all, all the little golf courses in my area are available for syncing!!
Great to use ... Makes golfing easier
Always use it, always works great!
Always use it, always works great!
Great app; love it and haven't had any issues with it thus far! Only encountered one course here in Ontario where the gps didn't work because the course wasn't mapped (Seaforth by Goderich area). That aside, everything else is awesome!!
Just plain and simple GREAT APP
Just plain and simple GREAT APP

Great app, definitely recommended.
I have been using this app for more than 2 years and have used the data to focus my training. Reduced my score by 20 shots.
Excellent program. Yardage bang on with handheld golf GPS units. Has a number of smaller courses that other programs didn't offer.
Excellent. Works no problems. I recommend it.
Simply the best golf program out there. I have over 150 games with out any problems!
Simply amazing. Love it.
Works perfectly and has every golf course I could think of built in. Well worth the high price

King Snakes and Milk Snakes
Genus: Lampropeltis
15 - 20 years
6 - 7 feet
Warm side - 85 ℉
Cool side - 75 ℉
* If room temperature falls below 70 degrees at night, a supplemental infrared or ceramic heat fixture may be necessary
No specific requirements
Most king snakes and milk snakes purchased at pet stores and from good breeders are bred and hatched in captivity. In order to help reduce the number of snakes poached from the wild, make sure your pet is indeed captive bred. They are commonly found in the deciduous forest areas, farm areas and rocky hillsides and high in the mountains in much of North America, from as far north as Quebec and as far south as South America.
King snakes and milk snakes are available in a variety of lengths, colors and patterns. Among the patterns are stripes from head to tail, bands running around the circumference of the body and solid colors. Colors can exist as a single color, two-color or tri-color. The skin is smooth and shiny and the body is long and thin. Kings and milks are also famous for their mimicry of venomous coral snakes, which sport a color pattern of black, yellow and red bands, much like some of the king and milk snakes. However, the simple difference between the two is the order of striping: a milk or king snake has striping in which the black bands touch the red bands. In coral snakes, the yellow bands touch the red bands. There are many rhymes made to help you remember the difference between the safe and venomous snakes, such as: red touches yellow, kills a fellow; red touches black, venom lack.
Milk snakes and king snakes in captivity are crepuscular, which means they are most active at dawn and dusk. They are generally ground dwellers but are also semi-arboreal (will climb trees). King snakes and milk snakes are highly active snakes that, when being held, tend to want to go in several different directions at once. They can be a bit nervous when first being handled. Be sure to support the snake well while holding and do not quickly force the snake in one direction or the other. Guide it gently. Eventually, your milk or king snake will calm down and wrap itself around your hand and arm.
NOTE: All snakes should be housed separately; apart from other snakes, even of the same species. This is especially true for milk snakes and king snakes, as they commonly eat other snakes; even those larger than themselves! Housing snakes together will also create a dominant/submissive hierarchy and will result in one snake becoming stressed to the point of illness, anorexia and possibly death.
Carnivorous; frozen thawed mice or rats (size depending on age and size of snake) DO NOT FEED LIVE PREY (see "Snake Feeding" hand-out). Live prey may bite and injure your snake and consequently make your snake afraid of his own food. Live rodents may also harbor parasites that can be transferred to your snake.
Feed in the morning or in the evening. King snakes and milk snakes will eat mice and rats in captivity. In the wild they prefer rodents, birds, other snakes, frogs and lizards. They are constrictors; which means they constrict their prey to suffocate it and then eat it. If you have trouble feeding your corn snake, please refer to our "Snake Feeding" fact sheet for help. A healthy snake will usually eat about every 7-10 days. An adult will eat 1-3 adult mice at each feeding, depending on the size of the snake. Remember it is always easier for a reptile to digest several smaller prey items rather that one large one. Some snake owners find it easier to feed their pet in a separate enclosure, free of bedding and furniture, this way you can be sure your snake eats all its food properly and the snake will not pick up any bedding when grabbing prey and mistakenly ingest it along with the prey.
Defecation usually follows 2-3 days after eating. Do not feed again until snake has defecated from previous feeding. *Do not handle for 24 hours after feeding to prevent regurgitation.
Depending on the snake's age and size, (young snakes shed more often than older snakes; smaller ones more than larger) he or she may shed 2-6 times a year. The process of shedding takes about 7-10 days. When shedding is about to occur, the belly will become pink and the skin's overall color will dull. After 5-6 days, it will clear and the snake will soon begin to shed. If the shed does not come off in one piece, it is a sign that its environment is not ideal. In the wild, reptiles have a much easier time with their sheds, as they are generally in a more naturally humid environment and have access to pools or bodies of water in which they can soak at will. Even reptiles from arid areas find humid places to go during the shedding process, such as cold, moist burrows under the sand or caves. The shedding process happens when the snake's body begins to grow a new layer of skin; that new layer begins to separate from the old and a very thin layer of fluid forms between the two layers. If your pet's enclosure is too dry, this fluid layer will not form properly, making it difficult for your reptile to shed properly.
To create more humidity, the entire tank can be lightly spray misted twice a day during shedding time. Spray once in the morning and once later in the day. Make sure the later spray dries completely before lights go off for the night. Some snakes may benefit from a 'moist box' during shedding time. This can be a 'Tupperware'-like container (with the cover on) with moist reptile terrarium moss inside. The container should be big enough for the entire snake to be inside with a hole cut in the side just large enough for the snake to come and go at will. Keep the moss moist but not watery, and place the box on the heating pad in the tank.
Snakes benefit greatly from a good deep-water soak at least once a week. A large 'Tupperware' container makes a good reptile bathtub. Fill the container deep enough so the entire snake's body can be submerged under water, but the snake's head can be out of water. The water should be nice and warm (about 68-70 degrees). Soak your snake for about a half hour at a time.
Supplementation is not normally necessary for snakes as they consume whole prey. If your snake becomes ill, your veterinarian may recommend injecting the prey with supplements that can help the current issue. Do not inject your rodents without consulting your veterinarian first. Over-supplementation is possible and dangerous.
A large bowl of clean fresh chlorine-free water must always be available. Place it on the cool side of your reptile's enclosure. Change it daily, or as needed, as your pet will most likely bathe in it as well. Snakes will often defecate in their water bowl, as the warm water seems to have a laxative effect on reptiles! All water given to reptiles for drinking, as well as water used for misting, soaking or bathing must be 100% free of chlorine and heavy metals. (Not all home water filtration systems remove 100% of the chlorine and heavy metals from tap water). We recommend that you use unflavored bottled drinking water or bottled natural spring water. Never use untreated tap water. If tap water is used, you should treat it with a de-chlorinating treatment. De-chlorinator is available in the fish department. If you do not want to chemically de-chlorinate the water, you can leave an open container of tap water out for at least 24 hours. Do not use distilled water, which can cause severe medical problems, since it lacks minerals that are essential to important body functions.
A daily misting or two with chlorine-free water will also be appreciated. However, care should be taken not to allow the enclosure to become damp. Also, do not mist less than two hours before turning the heat lamps off for the day.

Reptiles are ectothermic, or cold-blooded, which means they are dependent on the temperature of their immediate environment to regulate their body temperature. Therefore, we must create an environment with several heat gradients - warm on one end and cool on the other. With this set-up, your pet can go to either end depending on whether he needs to be warmer or cooler.
ENCLOSURE SIZE: The enclosure should be a solid glass sided tank long enough to create the two separate temperature gradients (warm and cool); a king or milk snake tank should be at least 20L gallons or larger for a baby or smaller species and 40-75 gallons for a larger species. IT IS NOT TRUE THAT A REPTILE WILL ONLY GROW AS LARGE AS ITS ENCLOSURE!!
COVER: Make sure the cage has an escape-proof metal mesh top. It should fit snuggly onto the tank and have strong clips locking it on. It is important that the top is METAL mesh, as you will place the heat lamp directly on top of this cover.
HEAT PAD: Reptile heat pads can be adhered directly onto the underside of the glass bottom of the tank. Stick it on the glass on one of the very far ends of the tank. For safety reasons, make sure to attach the rubber feet (contained in the box) at all four corners of the underside of the tank. This will allow air to circulate underneath the tank and prevent the heat from being trapped under the tank. Heat pads specifically manufactured for reptiles are safe for pets to be in contact with and are safe to leave on 24 hours a day.
DO NOT use reptile heat rocks. They heat unevenly and have caused severe thermal burns in reptiles.
HEAT LAMP: Place the heat dome with the basking bulb on top of the cage directly over where the reptile heat pad has been placed on the underside of one end of the tank. Follow directions carefully with all products - READ THE INSTRUCTION SHEET!! Always choose fixtures with ceramic sockets and be careful to choose the socket that is properly rated for the wattage bulb that you will be using. Do not place the fixtures by dry wood or flammable fabrics. All heaters should be placed out of the reach of children and all pets - including cats and dogs. Be very careful to make sure that your caged pet cannot reach and touch the heating device (bulb) in its own cage. A thermal burn to the face or body can be painful and life threatening.
UVB LIGHT: Exposure to UVB (ultraviolet B) light is critical in allowing an animal to synthesize vitamin D3 in their skin and metabolize calcium in their body. If an animal is not exposed to an adequate level of UVB light, it will gradually develop physical problems from the result of mineral deficiencies such as low blood calcium (hypocalcaemia), soft eggs (females), stunted growth and metabolic bone disorder, which can be fatal if left untreated. In addition, recent studies have linked sub-optimal vitamin D levels with poor immune system function.
All day-active (diurnal) indoor reptiles, amphibians, birds and hermit crabs should be allowed self-selected exposure to UVB lighting for up to 8-12 hours a day. This means they should be able to bask in the light but also get away if desired, much as they might in the wild. Many twilight-active (crepuscular) and night-active (nocturnal) species do get some exposure to the sun and may also benefit from low levels of UVB, which helps regulate their photoperiod and vitamin D levels as well.
Please see our additional "UVB Lighting for Companion Birds and Reptiles" for specific instructions for your particular pet and the UVB bulb that we recommend for him or her.
HIDE HOUSE: Place a hide house inside the cage directly over where you have positioned the heat pad, and directly under the heat lamp above.
WATER BOWL: The large water crock can be placed on the opposite end of the cage, along with another hide house, if desired.
SUBSTRATE: We recommend a shredded aspen bedding since it will not cause impactions in the snake if it is ingested by mistake and it is easy to clean - daily spot cleaning becomes easy by just removing the soiled portion of aspen. Newspaper or paper towels can also be used. If "reptile carpeting" is used, it MUST be kept extremely clean. The carpeting can foster the growth of bacteria and fungus, which can in turn be very dangerous to your pet. If you insist on using the carpet, purchase two so you can interchange them regularly.
BRANCHES & PLANTS: King/Milk snakes do enjoy climbing, so sturdy climbing branches and plastic plants can be included as well.
TEMPERATURES: Cage temperatures should be monitored daily and kept at the temperatures listed at the top of this page. Use your reptile thermometer to check the temperatures in different places in the cage regularly to make sure they continually match the listed proper temperatures. * If the room temperature falls below 70 degrees at night, a supplemental infrared or ceramic heat fixture may be necessary. (These fixtures do not emit a light spectrum that is visible to the snake, so it will not disturb him at night, but they WILL provide the necessary supplemental heat.) If your snake does not receive the proper heat at the proper temperatures, he may become sick with issues such as respiratory disease and will probably stop eating, as snakes cannot digest their food without proper heat.
DAY/NIGHT LIGHT CYCLES AND HEATING: All reptiles must have distinct day and night periods in their enclosure to maintain their biological rhythms. King snakes and milk snakes need 8-12 hours of daytime and 8-12 hours of nighttime. However, as the daylight hours change seasonally outside, daylight hours inside the tank should reflect the same.
The day period must be light, and the night period must be dark. A timer can be used to set the day/night periods so the lights turn on and off automatically.
Daily maintenance should consist of spot cleaning by removing soiled substrate, cleaning water bowl thoroughly and wiping glass clean.
The entire tank should be cleaned thoroughly at least once every month with:
- A mild dishwashing liquid (a weak dilution) in warm water, THEN
- Vinegar & water (1:8) OR bleach and warm water (1:32)
- Cage "furniture" should also be scrubbed clean with the same dilution.
To reduce the risk of contracting and spreading salmonella poisoning, all handlers should wash their hands after handling any reptile.
smooth, even scales; no traces of mites (small, reddish brown spots around pits and nostrils, under scales); clear eyes, rounded, full body; strong, even, smooth jaw line; bright eyes; regular record of healthy feeding and defecating schedule. It is very important to keep a journal for each animal that records feeding, refusing, defecation, shedding, unusual behavior, changes in behavior and dates of bulb changes. This will help your veterinarian trouble-shoot any health issues. We recommend physical exams every year or two years with an exotic pet veterinarian for pet reptiles and amphibians. If your vet sees your pet regularly, many common conditions that afflict pet reptiles and amphibians can be caught and treated early. If not caught early enough or if left untreated, many of these conditions can become far worse if not fatal.
Irregular scales; small reddish brown spots (mites) around mouth, pits, eye area, ear area or under scales; irregular jaw line, 'dents' in mouth with (or without) cottage cheese-like material (mouth rot); cloudy eyes or dull colored body when not in a shed; thinned body; irregular feeding and defecating habits. Limp, thin body, lethargy, sunken eyes, pinkish patches or spots on belly or sides; obvious bite marks or wounds from cage mate or prey. Red, fluid filled patches may indicate thermal burns or blister disease.
|Small reddish-brown spots around eyes, pits, mouth & under scales.
|See exotic pet veterinarian for parasite evaluation and proper medications.
|Mouth Rot
|Soft, dented mouth & jaw line. Cottage cheese-like material in mouth.
|See exotic pet veterinarian for evaluation and proper therapy and medications.
|Eye Caps
|Eyes are cloudy while snake is not in shed; Sometimes happens after a shed when eye caps do not come off along with the shed.
|See exotic pet veterinarian. Optimization of enclosure heat and humidity.
|Egg Binding in females
|Abdominal enlargement, decreased appetite, difficulty defecating
|See an exotic pet veterinarian immediately.

President Obama will be re-elected Monday -- officially.
The Electoral College meets Monday to formally cast the state-by-state votes that Obama won in the election Nov. 6.
Obama won states that total 332 electoral votes; Republican Mitt Romney won states with 206 electoral votes.
Even after the college vote, the next Congress must formally record the electoral votes Jan. 6 and formally declare Obama the winner.
It's all a foregone conclusion, given the scope of Obama's victory -- though it's always possible one or two electors will go their own way.
From The Washington Post:
"The Constitution provides little in the way of mandating how the electoral college should work. It simply determines that each state has one elector for each of its senators and representatives, meaning no state has fewer than three votes.
"Federal law requires state electors to meet in their respective state capitals every four years to cast their votes for president and vice president on the Monday after the second Wednesday of December. Otherwise, states largely set their own rules. In most states, an equal number of electors pledge themselves to each candidate, and the popular vote dictates which team of electors casts its votes.
"But not all states require their electors to vote according to their initial pledges. And sometimes, electoral voters go their own way.
"President Gerald Ford won Washington state in 1976, but Republican elector Mike Padden spent his vote on Ronald Reagan, who wasn't even the GOP nominee that year. ...
"Nine electors are known to have defected from their pledges since 1948. Some states have passed laws subjecting such 'faithless electors' to fines."

GDFD No. 40: Big Dog v. Little Dog
December 31 2009 03:30PM
Welcome to the Game Day Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's 40th game of the season on Dec. 31, 2009.
Normally TLP delivers these GDFD's, but I'll be pinch-hitting for him today. I'll do my best TLP impersonation (starting with the dog pic), but with a little extra spin added from your's truly. To check out what the competition has to say click here.
As per the Official Calgary Flames website...
The Calgary Flames (22-12-5 for 49 points. Fifth in the West, second in the Northwest) and the Edmonton Oilers (16-20-4 for 36 points. Dead last in the West, fifth in the Northwest).
7 p.m. Mountain time and 9 p.m. Eastern time. All other time zones should get a life.
Pengrowth Saddledome, Calgary, Alberta.
Calgary is 10-7-2 at home this year, and just snapped a 3 game winless streak there. The Oilers are 7-10-2 on the road, and has lost to the Flames in all 3 meetings this year.
Ladislav Smid - The Oiler defenceman has really come into his own this season, but he's always throwing the face wash up after the whistle. That, and the fact he made Iggy look like a mere mortal last game. Since I see young Ladi being in eTown for a long time, we may as well start getting our hate on.
Dustin Penner - Although his numbers have tailed off in the 2nd quarter, he's still easily been their best forward. He has made his physical presence felt in a John LeClair kind of way (without being overly physical). He uses his size & strength to his advantage this year, something he didn't do enough of the past two seasons.
Taylor Hall - Every loss they rack up from here on out puts them that much closer to Taylor Hall. I'll take the win for the Flames, but it could be awfully difficult watching the Oil draft Taylor Hall. Then again, maybe they'll find a way to screw that up.
Because if they can't beat the lowly Oilers to close out the year with a modest three game winning streak, what can they do? Enjoy the game and don't forget to give TLP a shout out in the comments section.
December 31 2009, 03:46PM
good work tyler. i am stuck writing lots of things about the winter classic booooo :(
good work tyler. i am stuck writing lots of things about the winter classic booooo :(
Happy new year TLP and RossCreek.
And as for tonight's tilt - fresh off a single victory the Oil are hungry for more. Not really hungry, but you know.

Well, this has gotten to be pretty sad. The community here had been slowly dying for about three years before the redesign but I always thought that things would just continue to go slowly downhill or that they would try to make things better eventually, I thought that was the plan when the redesign was announced, in the 12 years I've used the site I never thought they would go out of the way to kill their own community. This is surprising since anyone who really follows gaming news and cares about the industry knows that sites like this really no loner serve any kind of purpose, save for bringing people together in a community. I can find better shows on youtube, I can get news faster on twitter and smaller sites run by only a few people, I can find longer video reviews and gameplay clips from multiple youtube people, I can't use sites like this to find reviews on smaller indie titles. The only person making any kind of interesting content for the site is Danny or articles by Kevin. The rest is usually garbage or just kind of pointless I don't really see much use in watching a show with some guy making stupid comments on the stupid comments other videos and articles get, that just reminds me how little creativity we have here and how poor the community has gotten, if anything that show probably makes the site worse by encouraging people to make stupid comments to get featured and that's really the last thing we need.
I've seen comments from moderators saying they no longer visit the forums (and I don't even think I know who half the remaining ones are anymore), I've seen a poll advocating the death of those who made this site change up for over a day on the forums without being locked or removed. I think when you reach that point it's time to just consider the forums and community dead. Synthia's posts have been less then hopeful lately when it comes to those in charge making improvements, maybe some day they will but just about everyone I care about has moved on and content wise once you know who to follow and what to watch larger sites like this, IGN, etc don't serve much of a point anymore for anything but the people you can interact with their and the community features.
In the time since the redesign I have become a moderator on Angry Joe's new community forums which actually works betters than this site was even before the update. On the few days under a month since the community was started I have met multiple people to play games with on a lot of different systems, I have seen a lot of people gifting out game codes they won't need or just giving stuff to other community members, I've found multiple tabletop roleplaying groups, I won a signed copy of the script for the Kickstarter game The Mandate (signed by David Bradley), I was trusted to become a moderator for our forums and teamspeak (and I assume twitch streams in the future). Seems to be a great new community that is likely to keep growing and one where they plan to do a lot of tournaments, events, giveaways, form professional teams in a variety of games and genres, etc. NeonNinja (who has also completely stopped using this site) can also be found there. They have some work to do, community is only a month old and it's not something they have done before but I believe it can become something great.
It's been a great 12 years, more than half my life here. Was involved in some live streams, on a live show to demo Halo Wars, I lead and was an officer in quite a few very active unions. I've had a lot of great times here and I've met a lot of great people, almost all who either left a long time ago or have left after the redesign, and It's time for me to join them.
Some places I can be found Angry Joe's community I have the same name there as I do here, I can also be found on twitter under this name where I tend to just post my thoughts on recent games I've played and talk to old Gamespot members who have long since left, and on the website boardgamegeek.com (or rpggeek or videogamegeek) under the same name.
Also, Ys Memories of Celceta, buy it.

Greeley man dies on peak in Argentina
January 4, 2013
She had expected her husband to return with another great tale of adventure.
A tale of climbing yet another 20,000-foot-peak with his brother and friend deep in the Andes Mountains. It was another in his collection of adventures that kept Eric Nourse moving and smiling all of his 41 years.
He was due back today. But on Sunday, Kandee Nourse, 46, of Greeley heard the news from a phone miles away in some consulate's office in Argentina. Her adventure-loving, never-sit-still, fun-seeking and hard-living husband of 12 years was gone.
The trip
Eric was no novice. He'd grown up in Oregon, switching from one adventure to the next. In high school, he was voted most likely to climb Mt. Everest. He summitted Denali in Alaska twice in eight years, and had climbed countless 20,000-footers. Mt. Everest was on his to-do list – some day.
This trip was one of his annual treks with his brother and friends. They were going to climb the highest peak in the Americas.
Kandee never thought twice. "This is what he does."
It was hard enough just getting to Argentina, where he, his fraternal twin brother Greg Nourse, and their friend David Reinhart, 42, both of Portland, Ore., were planning to climb the 22,841-foot peak, Mount Aconcagua in the Andes.
"He was always so confident," Kandee said Tuesday. "This was a little different. He did tell me that the weather was brutal. The weather takes lives up there. He told me that more than once. That was not like him."
Now, Kandee, the more religious of the couple, looks back, and sees the little signs. He had let his driver's license expire, and he couldn't replace a lost passport without it. The day before he was due to leave on the trip, he finally got it all taken care of in the 11th hour.
When he landed in Miami, Fla., on Dec. 16, his connecting flight to Lima, Peru, was delayed because the plane had broken down.
"When he was in Miami, I said, 'Maybe you should just turn around and come home.' We just laughed about it. I guess you don't want to think about" what could happen.
The mountain
Kandee got a call on Dec. 24 from Eric. The team had made it to 16,000 feet.
"They were having 60 mph winds. Their tent poles had bent, they had their trekking poles holding (the tents) up. But everyone was in great health. They were happy, healthy, calling everyone to wish them a Merry Christmas. He was awesome," Kandee said.
On Christmas Day, Reinhart was feeling sick. The team decided to wait it out until he felt better to reach the top.
They made it to 19,200 feet by Dec. 27. They considered going on the Polish Traverse, but decided to take the more challenging route up the face of the Polish Glacier, Greg Nourse told the Denver Post.
"On Friday, they were going to attempt to summit," Kandee said, recalling her conversation with Greg, who broke the news to her.
At 4 a.m. Dec. 28, the three embarked for the summit. Several hours later, after dark, they reached 22,000 feet, Greg told the Denver Post. By then, Reinhart was too sick to go on.
"They decided that Dave was so tired and weak that he needed to stop," Kandee said. "Greg and Dave stayed up there."
Eric Nourse said he was going to summit the mountain in moonlight, find the less challenging trail down the mountain and get help, Greg told the Denver Post. Greg Nourse said his brother climbed another 600 feet and searched for the trail down. When he couldn't find the trail he climbed down the steep north face of the mountain. Ten hours later, Greg attempted to go out for help.
Both went the wrong way, Kandee said. It took Greg about six hours to get back to camp. Eric showed up later.
"At some point, two of them did end up together at this camp," Kandee said. "He (Greg) was able to give the emergency people a location, and tried to draw a map where Dave was. When Eric got there, he was exhausted. He had been on the mountain 36 hours."
Greg told her his brother was exhausted and just wanted a nap.
"They just maybe took for granted that he was healthier and stronger than he was at that point," Kandee said. "And he fell asleep. That was Saturday. That was about 6 p.m. our time."
He didn't wake up.
The next morning, Greg called Kandee to break the news.
She doesn't know exactly everything that occurred in those horrid conditions, but she does know her husband wouldn't want her dwelling on the sad news.
Kandee said she hasn't yet decided what kind of memorial service to have for her husband.
For now, she'll wait while her brother-in-law settles their affairs in South America, and brings back her husband's ashes.
She'll be making a list of all the places she knows her husband loved.
"There's just so many ideas," Kandee said. "He always told me about a place on the Illinois where he wanted his ashes let go. As he has spent the last 13-14 years in Colorado, he's made the Poudre his home and all the creeks up there."
Still another friend will be going to the Grand Canyon soon. Eric did it twice, Kandee said.
"A little piece of him should be there," she said. "There's so many places he's been. It seems like there's so many places he should be. … I'm going to be busy. But it's OK. Every place is a good place, and I obviously am capable of getting to most of those."
Though he grew up in Oregon, he moved to Colorado in the 1998, just two weeks after his first visit to Fort Collins. A year later, he met Kandee, and in 2000, the two married. He owned his own flooring business in Greeley.
He often complained about Facebook, and online forums, once even being banned from a site for complaining.
"He's harsh," Kandee said. "He always said, 'Everyone talks but nobody goes out and does.'"
There was nothing, or anyone, Eric was afraid of, his widow said. He'd go off with his brother to traverse the unseen parts of Mexico on motorcycles, or go kayaking, or hunting, or fishing, or climbing, or working. He did it all with reckless abandon.
"Everything he embraced, he was open to everything," she said. "He picked up hitchhikers all the time, he just wanted to hear their story. Nobody was a stranger, I think every pizza delivery guy ended up on the chair here for 20 minutes. He's a good man, but still had a heart of the kid."
The news is still fresh. But Kandee feels she has her marching orders. It's time to concentrate on the now.
"I'm thankful for … Everywhere I look around me, he's here, and I have faith in God that it was the way it was supposed to be. He was doing something he loved. He can't have regrets."

NYS Eliminates Eye Test Requirement for License Renewal

Blind As a Bat???
Great - now you can drive if you are blind as a bat??? What sense is this - I don't care if 6 other states don't require eye tests - if these states decide to let people drive drunk - does that mean that we will do so too - have you ever heard of the term "blind drunk" - well now I guess you can just be "blind". Never heard of such an assinine decision. Surely, there must be other ways to "streamline" some of our state agencies that will not put people's lives at the hands of someone who should not be driving - drunk or blind!!!
Are you kidding me?
What moron is responsible for this idiotic idea? Some people have their heads up their dupas so far that they can't SEE what this will do to increase accidents after this goes into effect. Drivers BEWARE!

Skip to comments.EXCLUSIVE: NFL legend Dan Marino had a love child with CBS employee in 2005
Posted on 01/31/2013 4:26:44 AM PST by onyxEdited on 01/31/2013 5:45:50 AM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
Dan Marino is famous for his touchdowns — but the Hall of Famer's scoring off the field is downright shocking.
The married gridiron great — a pregame analyst for CBS since 2003 who will be doing this Sunday's Super Bowl broadcast — sired a love child with a network underling and then paid her millions to keep quiet, sources have exclusively told The Post.

As our society slouches towards total and complete destruction, it is stories like this that ironically entertain us. With all of the truly newsworthy things happening, why should anyone care about this kind of filth.
The last I heard roughly 45% of the babies were being born out of wedlock.
At least he's supporting the child.
The media does so love to destroy lives. This was totally unnecessary.
I guess I'm not really surprised. We ascribe hero status to celebrities when it always turns out they are mere mortals like the rest of us.
The part that makes me giggle is the phrase, Marino "knocked up" the woman...as if she had no part in getting pregnant. Wasn't she in the room at the time? Or couldn't she afford birth control?
Jeez, settle down cupcake. It's Super Bowl weekend, a time of enjoyment for sports fans all over the country. Dan Marino admitting to a love child a couple of days before calling the game is a story of mild interest to any football fan.
I'm actually quite surprised. I thought Marino wore gloves?
Think how the media would have savaged him if he has/had certain political leanings
Well....She was a "production assistant" after all.....
I heard about it on Imus this morning. Someone outed him ON PURPOSE right before the Super Bowl.
In the meantime the MSM doesn't find it newsworthy that US Senator Robert Menendez, is screwing the American people while screwing foreign underage prostitutes. All Marino has to do is blame his love child on the republicans and the story is over.
Looks like that was a waste of money....LOL!
I wonder why it was necessary that we all know this?
nobody elses business IMO.
I LOLed at the use of "knocked up" too, another good one is when someone "turns up" pregnant. Amazing how that just HAPPENS, LOL!
Is the pre game hype of brother vs brother so boring that they have to break this story? Or are they all set for the gay Super Bowl party with the Ravens linebacker and Ellen Degenerate that they want to show how all of these people are sinners and must be ok?
It is to divert the attention of the sheeple.
See, right here is what Sandra Fluke was talking about. If only Rush Limbaugh and the Republicans hadn't started the War on Women, Dan would be in the clear!
I heard Marino had been critical of the Obama administration at a private event a few weeks ago. </sarc>
He is! He campaigned for Romney.
Someone dropped the dime on Dan Marino.
Have to wonder why.
You could be onto something... bring down Dan Marino to show he's a sinner, too.
Well, he is a Republican and a Catholic.
I remember how the media use to cover the weeks before the SB. Highlight clips, interviews of players, coaches.. They would do stories about the state/location that the SB was being played. FAST FORWARD to today. "Ray Lewis, can you tell us about deer antler spray?" "MIchael, are you really as retarded as the movie, The Blind Side, portrayed you?" "Flacco, we are offended that you used the word "retarded"... how does poor Michael feel?" "Dan Marino.. how can your wife actually stay married to you for 28 years after your adulterous affair that we will exploit until she leaves you so that we can write about for months".
The media has turned into gossiping middle school girls. Hey media, SHUT UP, get a life and let's just play football on Sunday (that being said, Go Ravens!)
During his career, Marino was known for his "quick release."
Who cares? At least if he is willing to knock someone up, he is also willing to take responsibility.
I wonder how many current nfl players are in the same situation but the media will not report it due them being of a certain ethnicity.
Slow news day?
Georgia Girl 2~:" Slow news day? "
"At this point ,.. what's the difference " (Hildebeast)
He forgot the Isotoner condoms.
Adultry, bad, no abortion, taking care of child support good. Two out of three more important. He did the right things after a dumb mistake.

Secretary Vilsack on Steve Jobs, Innovators and Entrepreneurs: At our Best When Fearless
"I think Steve Jobs and all the innovators and entrepreneurs of this country have been fearless and that's when we operate at our best. I happen to be working in a field right now with the American farmer and rancher, who is fearless. They put a crop in the ground every day and we're having a record year in agriculture. It's part of a story that's not told very often in the economy. Trade surpluses, job growth, record income levels. Because American agriculture takes a risk every day."

Local winners are among 1,000 teachers nationally who have been nominated by their principals for their extraordinary efforts in the classroom.
Goodall makes appearance in Mequon
Mequon — Mequon Nature Preserve Director Kristin Gies had the honor of escorting world-renowned primatologist Jane Goodall through her media engagements on Saturday before she spoke at an International Crane Foundation fundraiser.
According to a news release, Goodall, who is known for her groundbreaking research on chimpanzee behavior and later advocacy for nonhuman rights, gave Gies a rousing bit of advice after the two shared professional missions and worldviews.
"Never give up," Goodall told Gies. "Together we can change the world. We MUST!"
Nicolet approves borrowing for capital projects
Glendale — The Nicolet School Board on Monday borrowed approximately $2 million to pay for a parking lot reconstruction, stormwater infrastructure overhaul and expansion of the cognitively disabled student center.
Work on all three projects was completed before school began in September.
The board rejected bids last week when lenders had not followed bid documents and included a nonallowed premium. The premium was not included in the bid approved Monday, Business Manager Jeff Dellutri said.
Glen Hills lauded for energy efficiency
Glendale — Glen Hills Middle School, originally built in 1971, was recently recognized for the many changes that have dramatically increased the energy efficiency of the building over the years.
An award will be presented at the Wisconsin Green Building Alliance's 10th annual Sustainable Energy Efficiency Conference, on Friday at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Features of the school recognized are: extensive commissioning performed over the years; a 26-point increase in its ENERGY STAR rating to its present value of 92; student-geared waste reduction and recycling programs; maintenance of landscaping and grass turf fields without the use of irrigation; and a LEED Gold award issued in April 2013.
Mequon-Thiensville among best bang for buck
Mequon — A Sept. 26 article on forbes.com ranks the Mequon-Thiensville School District as third in the nation on its "best schools for your housing buck" list.
The article ranks top-performing districts nationwide where the median home price was less than double the national median.
"We are so proud of our teachers, students and community members," Superintendent Demond Means said in a district news release. "They are the reason Mequon-Thiensville School District is recognized as the best in the state and nation."
District selects company for interim services
Shorewood — The Shorewood School Board last week selected Springsted, an independent adviser, to provide interim business manager services to help the district plan for its annual meeting and any short-term borrowing that might be necessary for the current school year.
After Mark Boehlke resigned from his position as the district's business manager, the School Board contracted with K-12 Solutions to provide interim services. They appointed Erik Kass to serve as the temporary business manager. He has since accepted a position with the Elmbrook School District and is no longer available to help Shorewood.
The board has now decided to contract with Springsted. In the contract, Michael Garty has been identified as the interim business manager. He started Sept. 15 and will work with the district in preparation for the annual meeting and until a new business manager is hired.
Glendale nursing facility taking part in new initiative
Glendale — Seven Oaks Nursing and Rehabilitation in Glendale has been selected to participate in the Music and Memory Initiative, a program formed by the Department of Health Services to provide 100 Wisconsin skilled-nursing facilities tools to bring enjoyment to their residents with Alzheimer's and other related dementia.
Wisconsin has 397 skilled nursing facilities, serving approximately 29,000 residents. With nearly 230 facilities that applied for this program, Seven Oaks was one of out of 100 facilities awarded and certified as a Music and Memory facility. The staff at Seven Oaks will attend training sessions beginning in October. Once training is complete, Seven Oaks will launch their personalized music program and receive $2,000 worth of training and equipment including iPod shuffles, headphones, external speakers and an iTunes gift card.
The goal is to reduce residents' reliance on medications through personalized music, as well as help to alleviate some of their anxiety and loneliness.
Glendale favors east design alternative for I-43
Glendale — As the Wisconsin Department of Transportation finalizes its environmental impact report for the proposed reconstruction of Interstate 43 from Bender Road to Highway 60, it is asking surrounding communities to indicate their preference of the two proposed design alternatives.
The Glendale Common Council last week voted to support the alternative proposing to shift the existing interstate east, as opposed to west, based on staff input, including that of the police and fire departments.
Both alternatives include the expansion of I-43 to six lanes, with a four-lane Port Washington Road. Jean Nicolet Road also would be maintained between Bender and Green Tree roads under both options, although its exact location would depend upon which alternative is implemented, according to a memo from City Administrator Richard Maslowski.
The two design alternatives were presented for public consideration in August. The preferences of impacted communities will be incorporated into the DOT's final environmental impact report for the project, which will be submitted to the Federal Highway Administration in the near future.
During 2014 and 2015, the DOT will focus on a single design for the I-43 reconstruction, during which time additional public informational meetings will be held. Construction is planned for 2020 or beyond, depending on federal and state funding.
Board OKs agreement
with UWM for second year
Brown Deer — The Brown Deer School Board last week approved a memorandum of understanding between the School District and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's School of Education that allows the two entities to share resources.
This is the second year UWM and Brown Deer have collaborated for research and professional development. The memorandum does not come with any associated costs to the district. Last year, the two entities helped each other with in-kind payments. For example, UWM staff would work with Brown Deer staff on professional development. In exchange, UWM held an event at district facilities that some Brown Deer teachers were able to attend.
The agreement is good until 2015.
Brown Deer pens second
letter to legislators
Brown Deer — The Brown Deer School Board is sending a second letter to state Rep. Dan Knodl and Sen. Alberta Darling thanking them for the work they did during the formation of the state budget that provided school districts a higher per pupil allocation than was originally thought.
The letter also expresses the School Board's support for a potential bill that would allow school districts the ability to set a start date for the school year before Sept. 1. It also shows support for the common core curriculum.
Nicolet prepares to implement assessment tools
Glendale — The Nicolet School Board last week discussed the implementation and results of different national testing metrics, including: Measures of Academic Progress, Rausch Interval Testing, and Common Core aligned strategies. This testing focuses primarily on math, reading and other language arts.
About 8 million students across the nation participate in this form of standardized testing. Nicolet High School, specifically, measures fall to spring progress of the students as well as compiles year-over-year statistics, hoping to track improvement. The school breaks down the testing into different demographics, including: grade-levels; boys vs. girls; and black vs. white students.
Principal Greg Kabara said that they can integrate the statistics with those of the high school's three feeder school districts in order to better track academic performance throughout students' careers.
Family Night fundraiser
a success at Maple Dale
Fox Point — More than 100 people participated on Sept. 21 in a Family Camp Out at Maple Dale School to help raise funds for the student council.
Tents were set up outside and inside the school. The Student Council is using the money raised to buy a cabinet and counter top to use at the school store. They are planning to host another camp-out in winter to be located inside the school.

A fundraising campaign was launched Thursday for a $4.8 million nature center at Letchworth State Park.
Organizers hope to raise at least $1.6 million, officials said.
The 5,000-square-foot facility will provide year-round educational and interpretive programming to 750,000 visitors to the 14,000-acre park annually, officials said.
Work is expected to begin next spring, with the center slated to open in spring 2016, officials said.
"Letchworth State Park is one of the crown jewels of our state park system," said Rose Harvey, commissioner of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, in a statement.
"Providing a year-round facility where our patrons can learn more about the unique geology and history of this park is long overdue."
Planning for the nature center began five years ago. Some $2 million in state funding is earmarked for the project, officials announced last month.
Another $650,000 in state money will be used to reconstruct the park entrance in Castile, Wyoming County; $500,000 will be used to rehabilitate stone masonry trails and stairs in the park; $500,000 will be used to repair and resurface park roadways; and $360,000 will be used for bridge and repairs, officials said.
The design of the nature center was funded by $288,000 in state grants and funds secured by the New York City-based Open Space Institute through the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council in 2013.
The state will provide $2 for every $1 in private funding, officials said.
Some $1 million in private donations and pledges already has been secured, including $300,000 from Peter Humphrey, chairman of the Genesee Regional Parks Commission and the Letchworth Nature Center Capital Campaign.
Five Star Bank, M&T Bank Corp., the Bank of Castile and Friends of Letchworth State Park also have contributed.
"For generations, families like mine have been great supporters and patrons of Letchworth State Park," said Humphrey, the former president and CEO of Financial Institutions Inc. and subsidiary Five Star Bank.
"We are excited to support this project that will enrich this special place and help visitors better appreciate and understand the magnificence of Letchworth."

Pretty and relatively comfy but...
"Both tips of the heels came off after wearing the shoes only twice. I only walked between metro station and work, which is like 3 blocks from the metro station. I will fix it later when i have a chance, but just want to let people know. It is worth the money. (I paid much more than the clearance price)If you buy these, just wear on the carpet. Or be ready to replace the tips of the heels."

Did anyone notice that in volume 45 chapter 432; when Garp tells Luffy about his father... Garp said that Dragon told him that he saw Luffy off (said goodbye) in Loguetown... This could mean that Garp met with Dragon earlier in the story line
there already has bin a discussion about tis
I tink they do still connect each other just becuese they are on the opposite forces doesent mean u can't talk with ur family its the same with luffy and garp

Neuropsychiatry/Behavioral Neurology
The Neuropsychiatry / Behavioral Neurology Program
Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology are disciplines among the clinical neurosciences that focus on the clinical and pathological aspects of neural processes associated with cognition, emotion, and behavior. Recent advances in structural and functional brain imaging, clinical electrophysiology, and experimental psychology fostered unprecedented growth in the clinical neurosciences, and have enlightened our understanding of both normal and disturbed cognition, emotion, and behavior.
These technologies and the findings from them complement the clinical interview and examination and extend the core knowledge base and clinical skills that define modern neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology. A principal goal of this integrative approach is to transcend the mind-brain duality reflected in the separation of psychiatry and neurology.
The Neuropsychiatry / Behavioral Neurology Program consists of the Cognitive Neuropsychiatry Clinics, Consultative Neuropsychiatry/Behavioral Neurology Service, Inpatient Neuropsychiatry/Behavioral Neurology Service, and Electroconvulsive Therapy Service
Cognitive Neuropsychiatry Clinic
Michael J. Schrift, DO; Eric Gausche, MD
For appointments, please call: Veronica Lopez (312) 996-6139 or Dorothy Gawel (312) 996-3881.
Drs. Schrift and Gausche are physicians who specialize in the evaluation and treatment of the various psychiatric, cognitive, memory, and behavioral problems that can occur following or as part of neurologic and medical diseases. As neuropsychiatrists and behavioral neurologists, they have many years of clinical experience treating the cognitive (intellectual), mood, behavioral problems, and psychosis (hallucinations and false beliefs) that can result from such illnesses as epilepsy, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, lupus, hydrocephalus, traumatic brain injury, dementia (like Alzheimer disease), stroke, Parkinson disease, autism, and mental retardation. Common cognitive problems from brain disorders include memory impairment, inattentiveness, distractibility, difficulty in problem solving, and loss of self-monitoring skills. Mood and behavior difficulties are also frequently part of brain disorders resulting in depression, irritability, anger, impulsivity, inappropriate behavior, or apathy. We also specialize in neurological disorders (non epileptic seizure, conversion paralysis and conversion movement disorders) that have no have no apparent medical explanation We utilize various diagnostic tools in the evaluation of patients including brain imaging with MRI, fMRI, MR spectroscopy, CT, SPECT and PET; clinical laboratory services for hematological, chemical, serological, endocrinological, cytogenetic, pathological, and immunological studies; clinical neurophysiology laboratory studies including electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), evoked potentials (EP), and polysomnography (sleep studies). Dr. Neil Pliskin (312-996-6217) and his colleagues in the Neurobehavior Program provides neuropsychological assessments to assist in the diagnostic evaluation, ability assessment and educational planning. The treatment plan takes into account the complexity of the neurological, medical, psychological and social factors involved in the illness.
Given the breadth of the clinical problems encountered by behavioral neurologists and neuropsychiatrists, expertise in pharmacological, behavioral, psychosocial, and environmental interventions is required to address comprehensively the needs of patients with these conditions and their families.
Consultative Neuropsychiatry/Behavioral Neurology Service
The Consultative Neuropsychiatry/Behavioral Neurology Service provide evaluation and treatment recommendations to neurologists, neurosurgeons, internists, pediatricians, child psychiatry, and general psychiatry for patients with cognitive and behavioral complications of neurological and medical diseases. Requests for consultation can be made by physicians through Gemini or by contacting Veronica Lopez at 312-996-6139.
Inpatient Neuropsychiatry/Behavioral Neurology Service
This service is for patients who have severe neurobehavioral disorders that require management in the hospital. Drs. Schrift, Baslet, and Gausche lead the treatment team consisting of nurses, nursing assistants, occupational therapists, and social workers with experience caring for patients with complex neurobehavioral problems. Consultation with neurology, neurosurgery, neurobehavior is frequently part of the treatment plan.
Electroconvulsive Therapy Service
The Electroconvulsive Therapy Service specializes in administering ECT to those patients for whom such treatment is indicated (such as patients with severe mood disorders). The program strives to standardize the methods of ECT application while promoting the highest level of proficiency of this treatment. The program is invested in promoting in-depth research into ECT's clinical effectiveness and technique.
Referring psychiatrists from UIC and the community as well as physician attending psychiatrists on the Adult In-Patient Psychiatry unit typically refer patients to the ECT service. This method of consultation assures expert input into the decision about this form of treatment. Patients undergoing ECT treatment will receive a complete medical evaluation, including anesthesia consultations. Psychiatrists and anesthesiologists supervise the administration of ECT. Both inpatients and outpatients can receive ECT treatments. Following the completion of a course of ECT treatment, staff remains involved in the long-term planning of psychiatric follow-up care.
Memory and Aging Clinic
For ECT inpatient evaluations please contact Drs. Marvin or Schrift. For outpatient evaluations please contact Veronica Lopez at 312-996-6139. A clinical summary of the patient's course of illness, along with a record of therapies tried as well as past medical records, is extremely helpful for the evaluation.

Three rides
"I don't think I'm going to win but it's been so long since I really tried to unravel myself," I wrote. "Tahoe Rim Trail was the last time, really, and that was a painful disaster. I'm optimistic that I'll be able to turn Frog Hollow into the soul-crushing experience I desire without too much specific physical pain." It was a declaration of anticipated suffering that I thought would even impress "Missoula's endurance mountain biking champion."
But my former Montana adventure-partner-in-crime could only laugh at me, and wistfully dream of a peaceful, friendly reunion that we were throwing aside for a purposeless quest in adversity and solitude. Still, I know that Bill, who has already enjoyed a long successful summer of bicycle racing, is going to show up for our parallel solo battle ready for pain. Even though I spent my summer either running slowly, injured, or hiking, I too wish for battle-ready fitness. The race is in two weeks. Cram session.

The initial singletrack threw in challenging obstacles that I powered up with glee. When it comes to any kind of technical trail, I've found I'm actually the most comfortable on a fat bike, because I don't even have to pick a line. I just point the huge wheels that fill up nearly the entire trail and monster-truck my way to mountain bike awesomeness. I ground over boulders and steamrolled across roots and even successfully lifted the monstrous front wheel onto a particularly eroded ledge, something I usually wouldn't even attempt with my much lighter Element.
I reached the end of the singletrack at elevation 1,759, mile 22.5, and proceeded to climb to 2,555 feet at mile 23.7. That's 800 feet in one mile, up a rocky, loose-gravel fireroad, on a fat-tire bike that weighs well over 30 pounds. I planted my butt in the saddle to keep the rear Endomorph from spinning out (those tires have the worst traction; I'm sorry, they do) and cranked the quad-burning granny gear at a blazing 3 miles per hour. The Frog Hollow angel sat on my shoulder and said "use the Zen." I zoomed all of my focus on a tiny patch of gravel and thought of Hurricane's Jem Trail, weaving a red ribbon through the sagebrush, cast in silver by the light of the moon. It's a beautiful, blissful descent that a lap race such as Frog Hollow affords many visits to. As many as I want. As many as my legs can handle. Go, legs, go!

This is so far out of my realm of comprehension anymore but I vaguely remember it from my marathon training days. Sadly we will probably never meet to hike anywhere because I lean more to the other side of the spectrum these days (fun, relax, some hard exercise mixed in). But you are inspiring in that you are doing what you want to do, so enjoy. ps. I think rabies shots can mess you up. Rabies? For Nepal? What's rabid there?ReplyDelete
- Beat9:37 AM
Actually Nepal is one of the areas with the highest incidents of Rabies, and it's a recommended vaccination by some agencies. Many dogs are carriers - and since we don't know exactly where the course goes, I thought it's not a bad idea.ReplyDelete
Normally the post-bite rabies shot is basically as effective as the vaccination, however sometimes you may not notice (bat bites for example can go unnoticed - uuuuuuh those vampires).
Also rabies is pretty much always deadly, really it's all around a nasty disease, and it's fairly prevalent still - CDC estimates 40000-70000 rabies deaths each year.
Mary, the humorous thing is, I'm not really like this at all. At the same 24-hour race, I'm the "racer" stopping between every lap to down pieces of pizza and make self-depreciating comments about how much I hacked through that last round. But when the night comes and everything's quiet, I love still being out there, grinding away against the fatigue and monotony and (minor) pain. I've had some special experiences amid those moments.ReplyDelete
And I've also had more fun with my biking in the last several weeks than I've had all summer. I do love having big, outlandish goals.
That said, I still prefer "normal" versions of fun with friends. Right now I'm planning a winter bike trip near Whitehorse, Yukon, with several other women. They too voiced their concerns that I would want to go all Xtreme, which is ridiculous. When I'm on a social trip, I too want to ride a relaxed five or six hours a day and then kick back in a warm yurt and drink hot cider. Still, for most people a winter bike trip in any distance probably sounds crazy ambitious, so I guess it's all relative.
Riiiiight Jill. But I get it, because some people won't hike with me, claiming the same thing (Xtreme) Which is kind of crazy, but it all depends on what you think is extreme and what isn't. For me riding a bike for 25 hours is just insane. I'd die. Snow biking though, that I might like.ReplyDelete
Good luck to you and Beat in Nepal. I will be looking forward to reading of your adventures.ReplyDelete
Best regards, -Mike
You really make me chuckle Jill...that pic of you atop Black Mt w/ the Fatback...quite honestly if I were to see somebody on a bike like that I'd think they were off their rocker! It's just SUCH a beastly bike!ReplyDelete
That you voluntarily take it for a big ride over the RM Element just shows the vast chasm that separates us as cyclists. I've been feeling that my 03 Blur is kind'a on the portly side for a 4-5" travel bikes these days (sits about 29lbs ready to ride), and I have to admit that I look w/ envy at the 22lb full susp wonder-bikes. But due to their INSANE cost, I'll just keep looking AND pedaling my beloved Blur. It's STILL a far better bike than I am a rider.
We here all know you have a method to your madness in riding the SS or the Monster Truck...but the thought of the average weight-weenie dude on the trail staring dumfounded as he is passed by you (a GIRL no less...GASP!) on the Fat-Beast would be priceless!
You're still my cycling hero! Stay safe!

Product DescriptionLaura Mercier Flat Eye Liner Brush - Long
|"Wet the brush with a small amount of water and work eye liner into a thick paste. Test the colour intensity on top of your hand. Place the flat tip of the brush at the lash line and dot colour across the eye creating a precise line. For a smoky look: lightly brush upwards to soften the line - for more drama simply add to the lower lid. Basic Brush care: Always cleanse in the direction of the hair - never ""swirl"" or harshly rub brushes on any surface. Cleanse as needed in mild shampoo and warm water and gently squeeze water through the hair - go from base to tip - and rinse thoroughly. Shape and allow to air dry on a flat surface - do not stand brushes on end to dry or use cleansers with alcohol."
