(A WV Native Brookie)
(A WV Native Weirdo)
A collection of personal thoughts and experiences - mostly centered around running.
I hate to hear that about your knee! but just rest and recover, and you'll be back stronger than ever! I know how hard that can be ( to be patient) but you'll come out to the good in the end by not running hurt.
love the pictures!! both WV and SWVA WEIRDOS RAWK!!!
getting ready to go on a 42 mile night run with the IMTR's this weekend in preparation for cheat mtn! WOO! ( my first night run! )
take care !
Adam, I hate to hear about your latest tumble. Jenny is correct that you just need to be patient and let your body heal. You will be fine. In regards to you being unlucky, I have a solution for that. When a person is moving more quickly and they fall, their momentum carries to the ground and their fall is harder. Now, if you will slow down to my speed, then your falls will not be as forceful. Just a thought. Hope the knee feels better soon. Remember to ice and be nice to Kadra during your down time. Rick
Jenny, As you say, you are going to "RAWK" Friday night. We are going to have a blast. This will certainly help your preparation and comfort level in running our much anticipated Cheat Mountain 50 miler. See you Friday night, Rick
make that NE TN Weirdos rawk as well ,Rick Gray!!! :o) (((HUG)))
adam-- don't slow down, speed up!! (when you start back running:o) just watch your footing!
Wow! Sounds like a great run; 42 miles at night! That's a pretty stout training run, but those are the ones that I like the most; even more than races. You guys have fun while I am begrudgingly on the mend, but making sure that I am nice to my wife all the while (Rick). One of these days I just may have to make the trip south for one of these fun trainers. I'm sure you'll have some good stories to share from the upcoming weekend on the IMTR blog.ReplyDelete
Adam, We are starting at 9:00pm Friday night at Sundogs in Damascus. Funny how there is a certain race that starts at 9:00pm. I have to help Jenny get use to going running at that hour. Anyway, back to where we are going. Start at Sundogs, head on the Creeper Trail past the gazebo (where the Iron Mountain 50 miler starts), then hit about a 1/4 mile of pavement to the AT trail head. Head south on the AT to Cross Mountain. At Cross Mountain the AT crosses highway TN highway 91. There is an AT parking lot there where I am meeting Dennis Norris and Eva Gonzales. They will leave their car there and will run point to point for around 20 miles. Dennis has been injured for some time and this is his first long run. At this parking lot, I will put out aid for us to have when we get here. After we leave the parking lot, we will follow a paved road for a little over a mile to the Iron Mountain trail head. We will follow the Iron Mountain trail (going North) all of the way back to Damascus. Once in Damascus, we will have about a 1/2 mile of pavement until we get back to Sundogs. You have been on the Iron Mountain trail going North out of Damascus. For the most part, we will have nothing but single track trail. The Iron Mountain trail is pretty technical, so we will get alot of practice with the rocks. Other than the one aid drop, we are all on our own. All but about 10 miles of this run are in TN (NE TN Jenny). The Iron Mountain trail in TN and VA use to be the AT, until it was relocated in the early 1970's. This will be a great training run for everyone and I know that everyone is looking forward to it. Those running are: Jenny, Beth, Eva, Dennis, JJ, Doug and myself. We might have a couple more show up. We should have a clear night with temps in the upper 30's. No speed records will be set as we are planning on just staying together for a wonderful evening and morning in the woods.ReplyDelete
Wow, that sounds awesome. You guys are lucky to live close enough to each other to share in such an adventure. I hope you all have a blast.
I just got some good news this morning. I became an uncle again!
First, Congrats on becoming an uncle again! Uncle/Aunt is one of the best jobs on the planet!
Sorry to hear about your knee, hope it heals up quickly for you. Glad to see you are getting out and about with the incredible days we've been having around here. I'll second the be nice to Kadra sentiment...though I know you will. I don't see too many couples as perfectly suited to each other as the two of you are!
Congratulations Adam. Lori is certainly right about the best job on the planet. I am sure you fill that role with perfection. We are very lucky that so many of us live close enough together to do things like that. Just got word that Jim Cobb is coming up from South Carolina to join us. Another buddy to join in on all of the fun.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the kind words. I'll be back in action before too long. Patience is not my strongest virtue, but I'm working on it.

In a game that was slow as molasses and sloppier than the sloppiest of joes, the Knicks dropped their 2nd game under Mike Woodson as they lost 100-90 to the Hawks. Carmelo Anthony and Iman Shumpert delivered on offense, but they were the only ones to do so. Anthony and Shumpert combined to score 61 of the Knicks 90 points and the Knicks had no other players hit double figure scoring. Josh Smith, Joe Johnson and Willie Green (who?) were the beasts for Atlanta tonight, scoring 71 of Atlanta's 100 points. New York actually won the third quarter, for the first time since the age of the Dinosaurs, but their defense faltered down the stretch in the 4th quarter. Big 3 pointers by Joe Johnson and Willie Green stuck the dagger in the Knicks collective hearts and the game was over with about 3 minutes to go.
Here are my notes from the game:
- This one's not on Melo. Carmelo Anthony wasn't perfect tonight. He played a far better first half than second half. Credit some of that to Atlanta's second half defensive adjustments and credit some of that to Anthony not shooting as well. That being said, Anthony was far and away the best Knick tonight. He scored 36 points on 11/24 shooting and nabbed 5 steals. I thought he gave solid effort on defense, but he was overwhelmed by Josh Smith. This is why, I've said it on here, on twitter, and on spreecast, I believe that the Knicks are worse with Anthony at the 4. Sure, the floor is spaced a bit better and he has more room to operate. I'll concede that. However, with Anthony at the 4, the Knicks are going to have games where they are overmatched. Against Orlando, Melo dominated at the 4. Tonight, he was dominated at the 4 defensively. He was giving good effort, but Josh Smith was far too good for him. What happens when the Knicks play Chicago next week? Does anybody really want to see Anthony trying to keep Taj Gibson off the boards? I certainly don't. I know the Knicks don't have much of a choice right now but to keep Melo at the 4, but it's not ideal and the Knicks did get exposed. All that being said, Anthony was very good offensively and this game isn't on him. He gave good effort, the Hawks were just better tonight.
- Tyson Chandler was rocking the good ol' invisibility cloak tonight. He was pretty, pretty bad tonight. This is a rarity with Chandler, who is usually so good. He was outplayed by a guy named Zaza and he did close to nothing to help the Knicks win. Granted, Atlanta did do a good job denying him lanes in the paint, but Chandler was not good defensively either. He had some silly fouls and was out of position a few times. Obviously this isn't the norm and won't be the norm, but the Knicks could have used a better effort from Chandler tonight.
- Baron looked pretty old tonight. I'm not sure he's Steve Martin old yet, but he's certainly not that far away. As decently well as he played against Orlando, he was three times worse tonight. He was 2/8 shooting with 4 assists and 4 turnovers. I'm going to call him "the Stationary Bike" because he'll do some flare with the ball and he'll try and out dribble guys, but he's so slow that he doesn't ever get by anyone or get anywhere he wants. He's basically a stationary bike. With the stationary bike running the offense, the Hawks were able to deny Chandler and Novak the ball because they took their chances with Davis and they won. Not that he ever kicks it out anyways, but Baron was absolutely unsuccessful in creating after penetrating the paint. The Hawks did a good job denying the Knick shooters and playing Davis 1 on 1 and Davis lost almost every time. It's sad to see Baron struggle like this because I genuinely have a fond appreciation for what he did in Golden State, but he's just been awful so far this year and he was awful again tonight. This is far more entertaining than anything Baron has done in the past 3 years:
- JR Smith is like really, really, really, really, really bad. He has shot just 4/28 from downtown in the past 5 games. Thats worse than I do at the rec center when I sit in the corner and throw up 3's. On the season, he's shooting just 28% from downtown. One of the criticisms with JR Smith when we first got him was that he was streaky. Being streaky implies that you have good streaks as well as bad streaks. With the exception of like 2 good games, Smith has been quite consistent. Consistently horrible. He's done very little as a Knick. He's caught some alley oops and he tweeted a picture of a gigantic ass. Apart from that, he's done pretty much nothing. Thanks JR.
- Mike Woodson's daughter said "poop" on twitter tonight, in case anyone is interested in that.
- Steve Novak was exposed a bit tonight. Between Woody's stagnant offense and the fact that the Knicks have a stationary bike running the point, Novak was pretty much useless tonight. He got only 2 shot attempts in 20 minutes, which means he had to do other basketball type things in those 20 minutes. He's not really any good at any of those other basketball things. The Hawks denied Novak the ball and bike couldn't break down the defense and get it to him. On defense, Josh Smith overwhelmed him. I love Stevie Aqua, but tonight was not a good game for him. Again, it's not all his fault, but when he doesn't hit 3's, he's close to useless. Tonight, he was pretty close to being useless.
- Injuries caught up to New York tonight. You do have to cut the Knicks a morsel, AND ONLY A MORSEL, of slack because they are extremely short handed right now. Not having Lin is killing the flow of the offense. Not having Stoudemire and Jeffries is killing the defense because Anthony is forced to play the 4. I like Harrellson, but he's not the answer right now. Josh Smith totally annihilated the Knicks tonight because of their defensive shortcomings. The small lineup is dangerous for New York because its success is solely based on matchup. When Ryan Anderson daydreams all game, Knicks can play defense. When Josh Smith brings full effort, the Knicks can't play defense. They need Jeffries back so badly its not even funny. I'm pretty worried about playing Indiana and Chicago (twice) next week with this small lineup because I think the Knicks will struggle on defense. I may be wrong, but I doubt it.

- The Campaign to End Pediatric HIV/AIDS Toolkit
- Scientist Claims Canadian Prime Minister Is "Afraid to Show His Face" at IAC
- AIDS Docs in Iran Jailed, Group Asking for Help
Here's a hodgepodge of underreported news coming out of IAC:
The Campaign to End Pediatric HIV/AIDS Toolkit
With the help of African advocacy organizations and networks, the Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative, and UNICEF; Global AIDS Alliance released its Campaign to End Pediatric HIV/AIDS (CEPA) toolkit at IAC. CEPA seeks to increase coverage rates for comprehensive prevention of parent-to-child transmission and pediatric treatment services from the current average of 45% to the globally agreed-upon target of 80%. Launched in 2009, CEPA is initially focusing on Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.

Scientist Claims Canadian Prime Minister Is "Afraid to Show His Face" at IAC
Julio Montaner, famous AIDS scientist and president of the International AIDS Society, believes that Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper skipped out on IAC because of fear of backlash for omitting HIV/AIDS from the G8/G20 meetings last month reports the Globe and Mail. Montaner is also upset because Canada has reduced contributions to fighting the epidemic.
"My country's Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, was invited to be a plenary speaker and he refused." Montaner also said, "He's not here because he's afraid to confront the deficit the G8 left on the table. I cannot hide my profound disappointment and deep frustration with the recently concluded G8/G20 meetings in Canada."
AIDS Docs in Iran Jailed, Group Asking for Help
At IAC, The World Care Council (WCC) hopes to raise awareness around Arash Alaei and Kamiar Alaei, two AIDS physicians and brothers, who were jailed in Iran in 2008. WCC is asking that presenters either open with or end with special WCC-created slides. Theses slides contain pictures of the men's faces with the slogan "Iran Free The Docs Org: Treating AIDS is Not a Crime."
WCC's website states: The physicians, who are brothers, were held in Tehran's notorious Evin prison for over six months without charges or trial. On December 31, 2008, a one-day, closed-door trial was held, in which the brothers were tried as conspirators working with an "enemy government" to overthrow the government of Iran. They were also tried at that time on unspecified other charges which neither they nor their lawyer were allowed to know, see the evidence of, or address.
On January 19, 2009, the Doctors Alaei were convicted and sentenced under charges of being in "communications with an enemy government" and "seeking to overthrow the Iranian government under article 508 of Iran's Islamic Penal Code". Kamiar was sentenced to three years and Arash was sentenced to six. The Alaeis' crime: traveling the world and liaising with health workers across the globe to find solutions to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The government used the doctors' travel to international AIDS conferences as a basis for this charge ? a dangerous conflation of public health diplomacy with treason that will harm Iran's ability to be a worldwide medical leader and protect its people from disease and death.
WCC also asks that people sign their petition.

No enemy but time: a novel
Timescape, 1982 - Fiction - 339 pages
John Monegal, a.k.a. Joshua Kampa, is torn between two worldsůthe Early Pleistocene Africa of his dreams and the twentieth-century reality of his waking life. These worlds are transposed when a government experiment sends him over a million years back in time. Here, John builds a new life as part of a tribe of protohumans. But the reality of early Africa is much more challenging than his fantasies. With the landscape, the species, and John himself evolving, he reaches a temporal crossroads where he must decide whether the past or the future will be his present.

We had interesting characters coming to our town from Rhode Island back in 1862. One was Ambrose Burnside, he of the infamous mutton chops, an inventor and general who masterminded the capture of New Bern.
We had interesting characters coming to our town from Rhode Island back in 1862. One was Ambrose Burnside, he of the infamous mutton chops, an inventor and general who masterminded the capture of New Bern.
Then there was Kady Brownell, a heroine of the 5th Rhode Island Regiment, who saved the boys from disaster during the Battle of New Bern on March 14, 1862. Or maybe she didn�t. Historians aren�t really sure whether she was indeed a hero or self-promoter who pretty much made things up.
Anyway, here�s what we know. Or maybe what we don�t know.
Kady was a millworker who�d met a married Robert Brownell amidst the industrial machinery. They fell in love, he divorced his wife, and the two married, Kady would later proclaim, shortly before he marched off to join the 1st Rhode Island in 1861.
The regiment camped in Washington, where Kady followed. She was made, she would later state, an honorary color-bearer to the regiment. She would be wounded carrying the flag at the Battle of First Manassas (Bull Run) in July. If this is true, however, the regiment was careful to keep a secret of it because there is no official record of her doing such.
Color-bearer was indeed a post of honor, but it was also about the deadliest position in the regiment. A color-bearer stood out rather severely in a battle � that was the whole point, so that the regiment would be able to keep track of where they should be. But this also made the guy with the flag an inviting target for the enemy. Color-bearers were just about guaranteed to get shot early on.
The 1st�s term of service came up and Robert, apparently full of patriotism, signed up again, this time for the Fifth. Kady followed along and, she said, became the honorary color guard yet again. If her words are true, then she was actually in the Battle of New Bern. This would have been unique. While we know there were women who fought, unknown to their fellows because they were disguised as men, Kady was known by her regiment to be a woman.
According to her story, the battlefield was covered in smoke and fog, and Union forces were approaching the 5th�s position, unaware that they were on the same side. She grabbed her flag and ran forward, frantically waving it, alerting the others not to fire on them, thus saving the regiment from some serious friendly fire.
In 1882, a captain in the regiment seemed to back up her story � sort of � by stating that she was �Conspicuous for bravery in carrying a flag at the head of the battalion� and stopping her own regiment from firing on a New Hampshire force. Then, later on, he changed his story and said that she had begged him to let her carry the flag, but that he sent her protesting to the back of the line.
So did she or didn�t she? She would spend her life telling of her glorious experiences, but we know that some facts are false. For instance, there is her claim to have married her husband in 1861, even though the official marriage records place it in 1863, after Robert was discharged. There are other �facts� of her life that no evidence can be found to support.
In any case, she played her case well enough to convince the government to give her a military pension, and she proudly marched in Memorial Day parades until her death. If Uncle Sam believed her, there must be at least a strong seed of truth to her tale.
The information for this column was drawn from the website �North Carolina Civil War Sesquicentennial.�
Final note: I made a slight error last week in burying Sarah Blalock in 1901. That would have been a very uncomfortable thing for her, as she didn�t die until 1903.

John Dwyer was involved in the design of the first LEED Platinum home in Minnesota — 5ive — and now aims to change the way homeowners purchase homes. He recently unveiled INFILL, "the new prefab," with a plan to provide complete delivery, high performance, and full adaptability from three basic prefab designs.
The homes will be "super insulated and durably finished for near zero utility and maintenance costs," according to Dwyer's new site for INFILL.
INFILL homes are priced from $198,000 for a 1,248 square-foot home, which is about $160 per square foot, including all hard and soft costs, design, engineering, and construction.Read more [ via : jetsongreen ]

LOS ANGELES — Two courts recently ruled that class action may proceed in two separate lawsuits against 24 Hour Fitness, San Ramon, CA.
Last month, in the case of Friedman vs. 24 Hour Fitness USA Inc., which was filed on behalf of 1.5 million former 24 Hour members in U.S. District Court, Central District of California, the U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, rebuffed 24 Hour's petition to appeal the class-action certification order. This was 24 Hour's final attempt to prevent a trial prior to the case going to trial, which could happen next year, according to Robert Esensten of Wasserman Comden & Casselman, the law firm representing the plaintiffs.
The lawsuit claims 24 Hour Fitness violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO) and the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA). A similar lawsuit involving approximately 1.8 million current or former 24 Hour members was settled in 2007 in San Francisco Superior Court.
Esensten and Melissa Harnett, also of Wasserman, say the case is not focused on what 24 Hour members did or did not understand about the cancellation policy. The attorneys claim 24 Hour defrauded payment processors Paymentech, now owned by JP Morgan Chase, and LaSalle, now owned by Bank of America, under the RICO statutes. If 24 Hour is found in violation of the RICO laws, the company faces potential liability of more than $100 million, Esensten says.
Also last month, a judge in San Diego Superior Court ruled in favor of class action in the case of Posadas-Romesberg vs. 24 Hour Fitness USA Inc. The lawsuit, which was originally filed in 2006, claims that 24 Hour's "session rate" compensation for group exercise instructors is not legal under California law, and that the instructors should be compensated for time spent attending training and certification courses.

I've done quite a few posts on Glenn Beck's crackpot historical forays, but I haven't written many at all on the ways that folks on the other end of the political spectrum have misinterpreted or misappropriated the past. The problem is simply that I've had a harder time finding examples of bad history coming from the Left.
I mentioned this to a friend of mine as we headed to lunch yesterday. I noted that readers might start to suspect I'm a flaming liberal if I didn't take the Left to task for some historical transgression or another.
"That's the thing," he said. "Liberals don't talk about history, so you're stuck with bashing the other side."
It was a very general remark, but he had a point. I certainly don't think that people on the Right are more interested in history than those on the Left. Academic historians are famous for being predominantly liberal. I do think, however, that the Right probably finds the past more useful than the Left does simply because of the differences in their respective rhetorical positions. Conservative rhetoric invokes the past because conservatism often claims to be a restorative ideology. We must get back to the Constitution, back to the principles of the Founding, back to the Puritans' godly city on a hill. Liberalism, by contrast, portrays itself as the political system of possibility. Liberalism clamors to use whatever means are at our disposal to slay the social and economic dragons that have menaced us for so long.
Given these contrasting postures, it's natural that conservatism would invoke the past with more frequency, or at least with more affection. I have no desire to offer my own views here as to which vision is correct, but it's worth asking if one or the other is more congenial to an understanding of the past. Personally, I find both visions lacking when it comes to a sense of history, though for different reasons.
Part of the problem with the Right's restorative use of history is that it neglects the past's otherness. When we identify with the past too readily, when we urge the nation to get back to the good old days (whenever those were), we can forget that those days weren't ours, and that those people weren't us. They offer lessons and examples, but the analogy will never be exact. This is particularly true when it comes to the Founding. Those men and that era created the language we use to express our own ideals, so we can find them sounding remarkably like us. Occasionally, though, they use that language and those ideals within a context that gives them a very different meaning, one we wouldn't recognize.
But the Left's vision of possibility has its problems, too. I don't think Gordon Wood had liberalism in mind when he wrote the introduction to The Purpose of the Past, but his remarks are applicable here. He notes that having a real historical sense involves an appreciation of the complex array of factors that limit the range of possibilities when it comes to human activity. "Realizing the extent to which people in the past struggled with circumstances that they scarcely understood is perhaps the most important insight flowing from historical study," he writes. "To understand the past in all its complexity is to acquire historical wisdom and humility and indeed a tragic sense of life. A tragic sense does not mean a sad or pessimistic sense of life; it means a sense of the limitations of life." The study of history "tends to inculcate skepticism about our ability to manipulate and control purposefully our destinies" (p. 14). The past teaches us that circumstances limit our ability to shape our future. Indeed the past is probably the most powerful of those limiting circumstances. This is not good news for modern liberalism's promise to use the means at its disposal to shape circumstances for the better—the application of government and other institutions to achieve "positive liberty."
Of course, in describing both positions, I'm committing a fallacy of my own—drastic over-simplification. It's hard to speak briefly about political philosophies without broad generalization, and the risk is that you'll reduce these ideologies to caricatures. I've probably done so here. Still, I think the larger lesson here is valid. The past proves difficult to shoehorn into any particular philosophy, because when we're talking about the past, what we're really talking about is reality in all its complexity and ambiguity. The study of history should serve to regulate our abstractions and philosophies by reminding us all that our opinions about the way we think things are must come to terms with the way they have actually been.

A MASSIVE clean-up operation has begun in west Auckland where three people were killed, seven injured and hundreds displaced after one of three tornadoes in the area touched ground.
Two people working on a construction site were killed when a concrete slab landed on a truck on St Georges Road in Hobsonville after one of the tornadoes hit just after midday on Thursday.
Civil Defence says three people have been confirmed dead, but Superintendent Bill Searle told media two were killed and police held grave concerns for another construction worker at the site where a new high school is being built.
A large number of police, fire and ambulance staff remained at the scene on Thursday evening and debris was still being cleared.
"It's early on in the investigation and we need to make sure we get all the facts straight before we release any information (on the two deceased and missing person)," Supt Searle said.
St John Ambulance says seven people from the construction site were taken to hospital with minor to moderate injuries.
The death toll equals the previous worst tornado, which killed three people in Hamilton in 1948 and wrecked 150 houses.
A statement from Hawkins Construction, who subcontracted those killed and injured, said their thoughts are with the workers' families.
Supt Searle said the tornado trapped a small number of people in their homes, but they had since been evacuated.
Families from up to 150 damaged homes – most home to Defence Force personnel – were evacuated and most of them will be housed at the Whenuapai Air Base.
About 250 people have so far arrived at the air base.
"(It was) like a knife through butter for some of those trees," said Auckland mayor Len Brown. "A powerful tornado, devastating."
He said it was a "real disaster and tragedy for those families and for those that are in hospital and to the families who have been made homeless".
Power has been cut to around 1300 customers in the Hobsonville-Whenuapai area after trees fell on lines.
On Thursday evening families had begun clearing debris from yards and boarding up broken windows while contractors removed split and fallen trees.
Shaken construction worker Sam Nuthall, who was working at the school site, was forced to shelter between a block wall and a truck.
"You couldn't see it coming … there was debris flying everywhere, steel getting thrown around," he told Radio New Zealand.
A Whenuapai resident Suzanne McFadden told 3News it was "five minutes of utter devastation".
"It ripped century-old pine trees out of the ground, it's taken roofs off houses, it's crushed cars and boats."
Some flights in and out of Auckland Airport were delayed or cancelled, but normal operations have since resumed.
The highest gust of wind recorded was 151km/h at Snapper Rock in Albany.
The weather front moved south to Bay of Plenty where another tornado touched down about 3.20pm at Hamurana injuring one person.
Trees and power lines were downed and roofs lifted in the town on the northern shore of Lake Rotorua about 17km from Rotorua.
Fire Service shift manager Colin Underdown said it also caused some children to be evacuated from Mokoia Intermediate, and an ambulance had to collect one person who was "thrown around by the tornado".
Meanwhile, more, possibly heavy, rain and gusts of up to 100km/h are expected in Auckland overnight. High winds will batter the city on Friday.

You've been around my entire life, but I've never seen you
until now. Everybody else saw you and christened you
crazy, nerdy, or retarded through their own lenses… But I christen you
different, with a middle name of
(from my poem, "An Open Letter to Asperger Syndrome")
Most of you who have been following me for the last few months probably know that I was a self-diagnosed, self-identified Aspie. Earlier this year, my counselor and I had discussed the very real possibility that I had an autism spectrum disorder. I proposed Asperger Syndrome for several reasons: 1) because I was verbal before age 3 and never lost verbal ability (most with classic autism either lose verbal ability or don't have it before age 3 or so), and 2) other symptoms, such as obsessive and narrow interests and difficulty with social cues and interaction, also fit me. My counselor agreed, and thus began my journey to an official diagnosis.

So you're renovating, or maybe even building something new, and you've finally finished framing out your new walls. Now you're ready to put up your drywall and maybe some tile, or maybe even wallpaper—but what about the ceiling? Sure, you can just drywall it too (and hopefully you've been using recycled-content drywall), but there are several other options to consider as well.
The decision of how to make your ceiling can be influenced by a number of factors beyond your decorative choices. A few things to keep in mind are how much sound transmission in and out of the room you want to allow, whether water and/or humidity will be present, whether the room's activities require any particular kind of acoustics, and whether you'll be applying tiles.
Here are a number of green products designed for ceiling use that you may want to consider, and some ideas on how they might best be used in your building project.
1) Recycled Content Drywall
If you're not already using drywall with recycled content for your walls, your ceiling may offer another opportunity to include it. Typical drywall is made of a core of mined gypsum and two outer layers of non-recycled paper. The mining of gypsum typically launches large amounts of particulate matter into the air, threatening both the respiratory health of the miners and the air quality of the surrounding areas. And like most mining, the extraction process leaves large scars on the landscape at the mining site, and often contributes to soil erosion on the slopes where it is mined.
Instead of mined gypsum, recycled-content drywall is made of synthetic gypsum—a byproduct of the process coal-fired power plants use to limit the amount of acid-rain-causing emissions they release into the air. And not only does the use of synthetic gypsum reduce manufacturing waste, but it's purer than mined gypsum, making for drywall that's stronger and easier to work with. As an added benefit, the paper facing used on recycled content drywall is 100% recycled.
2) Tectum Interior Ceiling Panels
A dropped ceiling of rectangular panels, typically made of sound-absorbing (acoustical) materials, is another option. A dropped ceiling consists of a grid of lightweight metal strips that are hung from either exposed beams or a drywall ceiling, which hold the panels in place without screws or adhesive. This allows for easy access to any wiring or ductwork underneath, as well as easy replacement of any panel that needs it. Acoustical panels reduce the amount of noise bouncing around within the room, while also limiting the amount of sound traveling through the ceiling to rooms above.
For a green option, Tectum interior ceiling panels are made of wood fibers that are bound together without chemicals and come from Aspen trees grown in FSC-certified forests. The air-drying, low-energy binding process uses only sand, limestone, salt, magnesium oxide (from seawater), and water that gets recycled after use. The finished panels don't off-gas at all, and are non-toxic enough to be added to compost piles for soil amendment. So not only do you get a quieter room, for a healthier indoor environment, but you get it without hurting the outdoor environment either! And for even further reduction in the noise coming out of the room , take a look at QuietRock Soundproofing Drywall.
3) Durock Cement Backerboard
If the room you're building is a bathroom or kitchen, or any other room where high humidity and spilled water are common occurrences, you'll need to use backerboard –commonly called "blue board," because a common brand is (you guessed it) blue. Backerboard is typically used underneath tiles even in dry areas, where it acts as a surface stiff enough to keep the surface from flexing and pushing them off—and in wet areas, it provides a layer of water-blocking protection for the framing and surrounding rooms.
Durock cement backerboard is not only resistant to moisture, but mold as well, protecting the room's air quality. And concrete is so durable that it'll be a long time before you have to replace it, which saves the waste of valuable resources. And it's even made of recycled materials—it's 10-20% recycled fly ash.

Cara Dickey, the former South Buffalo Charter School teacher convicted of rape in 2009 for having sex with a 14-year-old male student, has pleaded guilty, as charged, to failing to register as a sex offender, the Erie County District Attorney's Office announced Thursday.
She faces a maximum prison sentence of four years when sentenced on June 6 by State Supreme Court Justice John L. Michalski.
Federal authorities earlier this year caught Dickey near Chicago more than a month after she fled her halfway house on Bailey Avenue. She was on parole and required by law to register a change of address within 10 days but failed to do so, according to the District Attorney's Office.
She was considered a fugitive because she allegedly removed an ankle bracelet that she was required to wear while she was on parole.
Authorities found her and the girlfriend she met behind bars in a motel room near Chicago.
She has been remanded pending sentencing.

English shell peas are in and I am going a little overboard with them, but they are never so good as they are right now. I just bought about six pounds (in the shell), to put up numerous ways: frozen as a crema, blanched and frozen whole, and canned in the pressure canner. The thing about peas is the sugar starts to convert to starch as soon as they are picked, so for best results, process them immediately. If you can't, then shell the peas and blanch them for a couple of minutes in boiling water, drain and refrigerate. This stops the natural degrading process and helps your peas retain their sweetness. (If you plunge them in ice water after blanching they'll do a better job of retaining their bright green color as well.) The peas will hold in the fridge for a few days, until you are ready to either cook them or put them up.

Alright, I want to take any doubts or indecision you might have at this point out of your head.

You'll simply continue to struggle for many more years with that annoying baby fat (unless you consider going under a costly, painful liposuction surgery).
You'll just keep procrastinating and making up excuses as to why you're "gonna wait until next week" to start training and eating right.
I want you to realize that you have nothing to lose except the sarcastic comments you get for having those "cute" chubby cheeks and face that has cursed you for years. That's why I've decided to offer you
100% unconditional money back guarantee if you do not successfully blast away face chubbiness, just like I did, in the next 60 days.

The adolescent energy the filmmaker brought to his early movies never really matured into an adult sensibility.
Several months ago, I watched Woody Allen's 1979 film "Manhattan" for the first time since I was in my 20s and for perhaps the 10th time total.
"He adored New York City," Allen's character, Isaac Davis, says in voice-over in the opening lines. "He idolized it all out of proportion."
Once upon a time, I idolized this movie all out of proportion. Though I was too young to see it when it was first released, I became obsessed with its Gershwin soundtrack and black-and-white, wide-screen cinematography in high school, right around the time I began romanticizing some mythic notion of becoming a New York sophisticate.
And in my mind, no one was more sophisticated than the high-strung, Sontagian journalist played by Diane Keaton, who dates a married Columbia professor named Yale before she falls for Isaac.
What could be better than wandering around the Guggenheim on weekends and dining at Elaine's and casually mentioning that Mahler is totally overrated? To me, these weren't just characters, they were templates for my future self. They were the exact opposite of suburban teenagers like me. This was a movie for and about the kind of grown-up I wanted to be.
But when I saw it this last time, I was only a few minutes into it before I began feeling embarrassed for my younger self. The dialogue I'd practically memorized in my youth now made me cringe in places. Sparkling though it was, Allen's efforts to poke fun at the pretensions of urban intellectuals were far less subtle than I'd remembered.
Keaton's character pronounced Van Gogh "Van Gock." She used terms like "textural" and "negative capability" and sounded like a first-year art student rather than a seasoned journalist. Allen's signature ticks and stammers made his performance more cartoonish than nerdy cool.
I suddenly realized I'd had everything backward. These characters were not sophisticated as much as they were expressions of what a young, relatively naive person imagines sophistication to be. This was not a movie for adults but for precocious teenagers. Teenagers a little like the 17-year-old in the movie, Tracy, who, in a storyline that would foreshadow Allen's life, was 42-year-old Isaac's other girlfriend.
Seventeen was the age I was when my enthusiasm for "Manhattan" probably reached its peak. Even so, I was too busy idolizing Keaton's character to think much about whether statutory rape was a factor between Tracy and Isaac. But watching the film today, I was struck not just by the creepiness of that relationship but also by the utter nonchalance with which the film's other characters greeted it.
"I don't think she's too young," says Yale's earnest, seemingly sensible wife as they arrive home from a double date in which Isaac's girlfriend has announced that she has homework to do. Even Keaton's character, a feminist erupting with opinions, essentially regards Isaac's relationship with the girl as an endearing quirk.
Granted, attitudes about sexual power dynamics were different in 1979. It's telling that most reviews of "Manhattan" saw the relationship as titillating — even funny — rather than abusive. Still, Allen, realist (albeit sometimes magical realist) auteur though he's purported to be, has always been more the mastermind of his own peculiar fantasy genre, one in which struggling artists live in multimillion-dollar lofts, people use terms like "negative capability" while keeping a straight face, and middle-aged male nebbishes are irresistible to women of all ages.
Given those motifs — and given the degree to which they've become more exaggerated over the course of his career — you could argue that the adolescent energy Allen brought to early films like "Bananas" and "Take the Money and Run" never really matured into a bona fide adult sensibility. There's a perverse logic, then, to his fixation on teenage girls. He's in many ways still a teenager himself.
I'm not going to dip my toe too far into the roiling waters stirred up by Allen's daughter's statement Sunday that he sexually abused her as a child. There are already far more opinions floating around than facts. But I do think there's something to be said for the ways in which the scandal forces his fans, particularly fans of "classics" such as "Manhattan," to take a hard look at what it was we found so captivating about the worlds he created.
Whatever it was I thought "Manhattan" explained and promised, whatever it was I thought I wanted, it was clearly out of proportion to what was actually there.

A collection of personal thoughts and experiences - mostly centered around running.

This is an arduous hunt even with a rifle, but to successfully take one with a bow is quite impressive. Of course this is merely child's play to the guy that shot two caribou, a moose, and a sitka blacktail deer with his bow last year alone (I'm sure I've left a few species out as well).
Nice job Mongold!

whoa! BAAAAAAH is right!!ReplyDelete
i see you have found a way to fish out the verminous lurkers on this most excellent blog -- post up their picture and they have no choice but to comment.ReplyDelete
trips like this would not be possible without the support of my friends (like Adam) and the efforts of other hunters and conservationists to put sheep back on the Mountain.
if anyone is wondering what the Great Hunt and ultrarunning have in common, i'd urge you to come out on the tundra with me and meet the caribou. when you see them, i promise you will want to join in their dance. you will soon learn that they are fast and tireless dancers -- you must run fast and far to join them.
thank you Casseday for the kind words.
Bradley, Congratulations on another fine hunt. it has been too long since Tammy and I last saw you. Hopefully we will see you soon. RickReplyDelete
I know many folks don't quite understand hunting. When you are raised like you and I were, it is ingrained into you. I too see many similarities between the hunt and ultrarunning; both in a primal notion and the obvious in the simple enjoyment of the outdoors.
Time to sharpen those arrows for a Muskox!

As He Turns 100, John Morris Recalls a Century in Photojournalism
As he turns 100, John Morris looks back at a career spent editing some of the most influential photographers of the last century.
Updated: April 30, 2009
Robert Capa (1913-1954) was a pioneering war photographer and one of the founders of the Magnum photo agency. He was considered by many the quintessential photojournalist. Freelancing for Life and Collier's magazines, he made a considerable reputation by photographing the Spanish Civil War and World War II. His images of those conflicts have become so well known that they could be considered among the lasting monuments of war.
Capa was born Endre Friedmann to Jewish parents in Hungary. As Fascism rose in Germany, he abandoned his political science studies at the Deutsche Hochschule für Politik in Berlin and fled to Paris in 1933. There he met the journalist and photographer Gerda Taro (born Gerta Pohorylle), who had fled Germany that year after being held in custody for associating with anti-Nazi activists. In 1936 they formed a partnership, both professional and personal. Together, they invented the "famous" American photographer Robert Capa and began to sell his prints under that name.
Capa met Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway, and formed friendships with fellow photographers David "Chim" Seymour and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Driven as much by political sympathy as by photographic ambition, Capa and Taro traveled in 1936 to cover the Spanish Civil War for Vu magazine. From that year on, Capa's coverage of the Spanish Civil War appeared regularly.
His photograph "Death of a Loyalist Militiaman" -- often called "The Falling Soldier" -- made Capa famous. The image shows a Spanish Republican militiaman reeling backward at what appears to be the instant a bullet kills him near Córdoba. But it has become the subject of debate about whether it was genuine or staged. The negatives were lost long ago.
Capa was known as a notorious fictionalizer. His biographer, Richard Whelan, commented on how in conversation Capa would often embellish, even lie outright, in the service of a good tale or to enhance his romantic reputation. Henry Luce, the publisher of Life and Capa's sometime boss, advocated "fakery in allegiance to the truth."
Michael Kimmelman, chief art critic of The New York Times, wrote in 1998, "Capa was one of the century's great storytellers, both as a photographer and in life, which is a reason we still revere him, and whatever questions linger about his fidelity no longer matter very much, because his images have passed from news into the vague category of art, where the line between truth and fiction is even fuzzier."
Seventy years after Capa left Europe for the United States, three weathered cardboard boxes -- known collectively, and cinematically, as the Mexican suitcase -- arrived at the International Center of Photography by way of Mexico. What has ensued has been a painstaking process of unfurling, scanning and trying to make sense of some 4,300 negatives taken by Capa, Taro and Seymour during the Spanish Civil War, groundbreaking work that was long thought to be lost but resurfaced several years ago in Mexico City.
In April 2009 it was revealed that among the 126 rolls were a number of previously unknown shots by Capa and by Taro, who died in 1937 when she was struck by a tank near the front, west of Madrid. But more surprising has been the wealth of new work by Seymour that was in the cases. Another of Magnum's founders, he was known not for his battle photography but for penetrating documentation of Spanish life in the shadow of war.
While there was some initial hope, the negatives did not lay to rest a question that has long hovered over Capa's career: whether he staged "The Falling Soldier." The boxes contained none of the series of photographs taken that fateful afternoon of Sept. 5, 1936, though several surviving images from the sequence have been published previously, and Mr. Whelan, Capa's biographer, has made a persuasive case that the picture was not faked.
Capa died in 1954, the victim of a land mine in Vietnam.

Whether you're an entrepreneur or a salesperson, you'll eventually run into customers who drive you crazy. Here's a look at the 13 most irritating types of prospects — along with quick advice to get the deal back on track.
1. The Great Opportunist
She holds out the possibility of a big purchase in order to get you to write a detailed proposal, which she then uses as a blueprint for an internal project.
How to Cope: Never agree to do a significant amount of work for a prospect without getting something comparable in return, like a meeting with the CEO.
2. The Time Bomb
Normally, he's rational but he's got a short fuse and a belly full of suppressed frustration. If something goes wrong — BOOM! — he's in your face.
How to Cope: Defuse the situation by asking for help solving problems long before they fester. Try to be somewhere else when he finally does explode. (And he will.)
3. The Tire Kicker
She admits her company has a need for what you're selling, but can't quite bring herself to write the check, so she keeps investigating options and alternatives.
How to Cope: Make the case for buying in terms of how much money she'll lose by delaying the decision.
4. The Multitasker
He's got so many activities and projects going on at once that he can't focus on any single thing, least of all your proposal.
How to Cope: Simplify, simplify, simplify. Write an executive summary of your proposal, then a summary of the summary. Finally, explain in one sentence how buying will reduce his frazzle.
5. Hurry Up and Wait
She wants everything yesterday (or sooner) but when you need something from her, there's always a reason why it's not happening today (or tomorrow).
How to Cope: Work up front with her to define (and document in detail) her company's buying process. Get prior agreement on a schedule of milestones.
6. The Disappearing Act
She confirms appointments to meet with you but isn't in her office when you arrive. The "emergency" that intervened sounds a lot like she's avoiding you.
How to Cope: Subtly suggest that now she owes you, because your time is valuable. Make a better case that what you're selling is worthy of attention. Reschedule quickly so you don't lose momentum.
7. Mr. Nobody
He claims to be (and may even believe he is) the big decision-maker, but there's a man behind the curtain who's actually making the buying decisions.
How to Cope: He'll be offended if you ask, "Are you really the decision-maker?" Instead ask: "How does your company typically make purchasing decisions of this sort?"
8. The Wannabe
She doesn't have the authority to buy but sees sponsoring your proposal as a way to get visibility and funding for herself and her department.
How to Cope: Give her the sales tools she needs to make the case to the rest of the company. Then let her take the lead, while you cheer her on.
9. The Horndog
He thinks of attractive young female sales reps as fair game for "harmless" flirting that's leading towards the suggestion of a little "quid pro quo" between the sheets.
How to Cope: Respond to any questionable suggestion with crossed arms and a long cool stare. Then change the subject back to business matters. ("Moving right along....")
10. The Gatekeeper
Her primary job is to make certain that the big boss isn't bothered by the little people, a category that includes you.
How to Cope: Explain why it's hugely in the boss's interest to talk with you directly. Or call early in the morning, before the gatekeeper comes in. (The big boss may pick up.)
11. The Roadblock
He invents reasons to say 'NO!' because he might get blamed if the deal goes through but then goes south. Typically found in corporate legal groups.
How to Cope: Get him involved at the beginning of the sales cycle so that he can raise his objections (and you can answer them) long before they gum up the deal.
12. The Propellerhead
Cost benefit? Business value? Are you kidding? To the propellerhead, what really matters is whether the technology you're selling is complicated and obscure.
How to Cope: Explain every product feature in terms of how well it would work on either the USS Enterprise or a Tie-Fighter.
13. The Final Demander
Just when you think you've got the sale closed, she pulls out a final demand, usually for a huge discount "or the deal won't go through."
How to Cope: She's testing to see if she got the best deal. Say: "The deal we discussed is the best price I can offer." She'll back down (and be secretly relieved that you didn't).

Hello, cute Dawson! I would call you handsome but since kitties are juveniles until they are 2 years old, you deserve the kitten "cute" word! Dashing all over the place, wanting to play with everything, ambushing your humans from a cardboard box - very kitten-like antics!
I am so glad your people rescued you, and I bet you are too. You are obviously loved and loving and enjoying every minute of life!
Stay on the inside of the door, sweetie - it's much safer, and besides, you have so many fun toys to play with. Congratulations on being Cat of the Day, and I wish you a long and lively life!

Freshly picked . . . from the freezer
This is a frozen apple pie with integrity. The apples are organic, the whole-wheat flour is organic, the dairy is rBST -hormone-free, there is no corn syrup, no GMOs -- actually, the ingredients are pretty much what you would use if you were baking at home. The pie comes from Amy's Kitchen in Santa Rosa, Calif., a family business that started making vegetable potpies in 1987 and is still owned by its founders Rachel and Andy Berliner , both strict vegetarians. For the apple pie, apples are tossed with honey, sprinkled with cinnamon, and then baked in a buttery crimped-edge crust. At home, after about an hour in the oven or five minutes in the microwave, the pie is ready to eat. Sweet and overflowing with fruit, it seems more snack than dessert and is wholesome enough to eat for breakfast. Amy's apple pies are available at Whole Foods Market, Wild Oats Natural Marketplace, and Roche Bros. Supermarkets.
