Eflatun Bozcada
People who have visited Bozcaada before know the flowers blooming at every step, the sounds of music coming from the upper floors of bay-window houses narrowly standing in line throughout the charming back-streets, children playing marbles on steep cobbled back-streets even today, house doors being always half open and mornings sunny with warm greetings. We only contributed with our heartiness, love and praises to life's beauty to this colorful, lively and untouched structure. Whenever you decide to get to go away from daily city life for a while and get some fresh breath and want to be born again inhaling the smell of rosemary, thymes and geraniums, and to set sail to pleasant chats and who knows, maybe to new loves, then come to Eflatun, and be our guest in this paradise garden. We have opened a guesthouse on an island well-known for its colorful sea and golden sands, unique bays, vineyards, wines and historical structure, Bozcaada. Our guesthouse has got its name from the color of the Algerian violets, marsh-mellows and geraniums of Chois which decorate the narrow back-streets of Tenedos, a well reputed other name of our island, for the whole year. It adds a Eflatun (lavender) inspired look to the island's rich history going back to the year 3000 B.C. and also to the cultural structure which became subject to Herodot's and Aristo's works. Wireless internet access will be a novelty this season at Eflatun. Frankly television will never be an option in our rooms as long as we the owners don't change because we make you our call to live the island with us not to shut yourselves in your rooms. Internet in the other hand is a medium for us to communicate with you as we do now and is a channel to pass our emotions about the island on. So we don't hesitate to use the internet and let you use. Air condition is also used in the rooms of Eflatun starting from last year. Unfortunately the earth's climate has changed a lot since we first came to the

The Final Frontier is a dark one.
The highly anticipated sequel to J.J. Abrams' 2009 smash Star Trek reboot will reportedly be called "Star Trek Into Darkness."
Per ComingSoon.net, the studio registered the domains startrekintodarkness.com and startrekintodarknessmovie.com in recent weeks, though the sites have nothing up as of press time.
U.S. & World
Damon Lindelof talks Star Trek sequel
A rep for Paramount has yet to confirm the title.
As Trekkies will note, this title if confirmed would be unique in the franchise in that it boldly does away with a number, colon and subtitle that defined the early movies featuring William Shatner and company--like "Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan," "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock," and "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" -- and the later "Next Generation"-era entries such as "Star Trek: First Contact," "Star Trek: Insurrection," and "Star Trek: Nemesis."
According to TrekMovie.com, the villain of "STID," played by "Sherlock Holmes" star Benedict Cumberbatch, is an updated version of warlord Khan Noonien Singh, the role Ricardo Montalban made famous in the original series and later in "Star Trek II." However, cast member Simon Pegg, who plays Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, quashed that idea in an interview with London's Daily Telegraph in May while Karl Urban, aka Leonard "Bones" McCoy, suggested to SFX that the baddie is really Starfleet officer Gary Mitchell, who Kirk faced off against in another classic TV episode.
Phasers set for stun: Star Trek sequel start shooting!
For his part, when asked about the speculation surrounding his character, Cumberbatch addressed the rumors, albeit obliquely, in an interview with shortlist.com.
"Yep, it's yet another thing I can't talk about," the actor said, laughing. "I'll tell you this, it's iconic and it's exciting. I'm bored of denying that it's Khan now, because people keep saying it."
However given the director and scribe Damon Lindelof's admitted admiration for Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, it wouldn't be totally out of the realm of possibility if Khan turned up (not to mention Leonard Nimoy coming back as Spock Prime).
In the DVD commentary for 2009's "Star Trek," the filmmakers said that they had considered including a teaser shot at the end of the credits showing Khan's starship, Botany Bay. And as the Trek fan site pointed out, featuring Kirk's nemesis in the second of the Abrams-era adventures would be similar to what Nolan did by having The Joker take center stage in 2008's mega-hit "The Dark Knight."
And the new moniker, "Star Trek Into Darkness," certainly hints at the crew of the Enterprise staring down something menacing. The movie is slated to beam into theaters on May 17, 2013.

Interesting…as newspaper VJs move towards more complex and larger camcorders, broadcast is downsizing to smaller, more mobile cameras.
In the beginning newspaper photogs were learning video – all about motion and audio. How what they had been shooting their entire lives had to be rethought once they stopped aiming for a moment in time and instead were aiming for a sequence and telling a story with flow of motion and sound. Video is more complex – more akin to weaving elements together than stopping time.
As they got better at their new craft, these new VJs, OMB, backpackers got better and better gear…and some of their gear is even redefining standards for moviemaking, not just news (think 5D here).
The opposite has been going on over on the broadcast side. The one man band has always been part of TV news…kind of the poor cousin. OMBs were used by the smaller stations or even larger stations in their outlying bureaus.
Mike Rosenblaum (among others) broke the collar of shame, re-coined the craft as Videojournalist and rightfully set things straight…VJs can be masters of vision. On my side of the coast KRON in San Francisco raised them to star status – and buddy Stanley Roberts showed that even the toughest glare-you-down street shooter could masterfully craft stories all on his lonesome.
Now the camera is following the craft. In a much earlier post (which I'm still looking for) I asked why TV stations weren't allowing their VJs the freedom of smaller cameras (Stanley by the way does use a compact size Sony).
Earlier this week a major player in broadcasting announced that it was ramping up use of prosumer cameras by its staff.
Hearst Corporation's Next Generation Newsroom Project portends a major shift in thinking for television news room. Beginning with three stations in 2009, moving on to six this year with six more projected to come on board next year, JVC GY-HM100 cameras are marching into the hands of camera crews.
These crews (according to Hearst) will NOT replace, but rather will augment the traditional broadcast newscrew…aiming at the Internet audience rather than the (again, traditional) front of the tube group.
The good – overburdened crews get a respite for their backs…and hopefully this move will continue so eventually all crews get the more portable cameras. Laptops to edit…this camera natively imports to both Adobe Premier and Final Cut. Hearst is going the PC route with Dell laptops and Premier (which is dual platform by the way). The camera is a three-chipper with 1/4 inch CCDs and has both XLR and mini-jack audio inputs. Best yet, it shoots to SD cards (don't know if you have to use the nearly $300 SDHC cards or can get by with less expensive ones).
The bad: one little line buried in the end of the press release:
…the GY-HM100 is the ideal camcorder for the Next Generation Newsroom Project, because it is a full-featured professional camcorder that records to inexpensive SDHC solid-state media, yet it is not intimidating to non-technical personnel.
Yeah…those three words at the end. Non. Technical. Personnel. Hmmm….reporters? Interns?
(Thanks to b-roll for the heads up.)

'Jack the Cat' is Back! Missing Feline Found at JFK Airport After Two-Month Search [VIDEO]
It looks like long-lost Jack the Cat, who escaped from his carrier in the American Airlines baggage area more than two months ago, has at least one of his nine live left. The cat was finally found at JFK airport on Tuesday after falling through the ceiling tiles in a Custom and Border Patrol room.
After his disappearance, Jack became an internet sensation with a Twitter account and Facebook page with more than 16,000 fans.
Jack's not out of the woods yet, though. Immediately after his rescue, the cat was taken to a vet and treated for malnourishment and symptoms related to fatty liver disease. Come on, Jack! We're pulling for you!
Watch a report on Jack's return below.

Belfast is buzzing right now. This is a Titanic city with a musical edge and enjoying it doesn't have to cost a fortune. Here's our top 10 free things to do in Belfast
Belfast's verdant Victorian Botanic Gardens are legendary. Think of them as an urban oasis of tropical trees and indigenous plants where Belfast's locals lunch lazily all week long on majestically manicured lawns.
Minor masterpieces from the overlooked George William Russell; the graceful curve of an ancient gold necklace and a mummy: The Ulster Museum is a marvel of multi-tasking. Check out its cubist exterior, too. Picasso would be proud.
Once upon a time, Belfast was famed worldwide for its linen. At the centre of that world was the iconic linen warehouse, now Belfast's oldest library. View a 316 year-old book, examine a 1725 city map or just enjoy the atmosphere in a Belfast landmark.
Celebrated across the world for its uniqueness, the Giant's Causeway was formed over 60 million years ago by volcanic activity. Or was it a giant? Stalk its perfectly octagonal stones on this wild Atlantic strip and decide for yourself.
Within the walls of this red-bricked Victorian wonder are the characters, tastes and smells that make Belfast special. Almost 150 traders are based here selling everything from cured meats, local cheeses and pastries. Pack a picnic and save.
Cementing its reputation as a city of pioneering inventions (Did you know the parachute was invented here?), the Belfast Music Tour App is described as a 'world first'. Download, tune in and walk the streets that nurtured Belfast-born superstar Van Morrison.
An endless list of local beer, generous portions of hearty grub, and traditional music: it's little wonder that John Hewitt's is a musical favourite. The vibrant, buzzy bar is a typical of Belfast's welcoming music scene.
Think a friend might enjoy this article? Click to save and share
Ok, it's not free but at £9, it's a bargain. Lead by a local Titanic expert Colin Cobb, the tour strolls through Titanic's dry dock, Pump House and White Star Line drawing offices.
Be the King or Queen for a day at the historic Belfast Castle. A towering summit offers the best views over the city, and lush grounds are a photographer's dream. Stroll past Napoleon's Nose – the inspiration behind Swift's Gulliver's Travels.
Alternatively known as 'Ben Madigan', there's no better place to take in the fresh air, and the heart-stopping views of Belfast city, harbour and lough below. Pack your hiking boots, prepare a picnic and make a day of it.

Shark's Cove Surf Shop
Owned by professional surfer Liam McNamara (in photo), Shark's Cove Surf Shop rents out surfboards, snorkels, stand up paddling equipment and whatever else you need to hit the waves. "We also have storage lockers for customers to stash their valuables instead of leaving them in their cars," says store manager Luis Real. "It's much safer, since I hear there are about three car break-ins every day." The store also has seasonal surf tours. 59-053 Kamehameha Highway, 630-0390.

Waimea Valley
Since the valley changed ownership from the National Audubon Society to Hiipaka in 2007, the biggest change is the name, says the public relations representative for the park, BJ Whitman. "Waimea is not referred to as a park, but the valley Waimea," she says. In addition to the extensive garden of tropical plants from all over the world, Waimea Valley hosts ancient Hawaiian cultural demonstrations, has various trails to hike throughout the park, and endemic Hawaiian animals and plants. 59-864 Kamehameha Highway, 536-9739.

Beach Boutique
Right next to Shark's Cove Surf Shop sits the Beach Boutique, owned by Brandi McNamara, the surf-shop owner's wife. The boutique sells sarongs, necklaces, bracelets, swimsuits and an assortment clothes for both men and women. It also sells Sea Maid clothes, McNamara's label. She designs everything for the brand. 59-053 Kamehameha Highway, 630-0390.
| Did You Know?
Overlooking Waimea Valley sits a state monument and historical site: Pu'u O Mahuka Heiau. According to the Department of Land and Natural Resources' Web site, three sailors from the British Navy ship HMS Daedalus, captained by George Vancouver of the British Royal Navy, were captured by Native Hawaiians and sacrificed at the heiau in 1792. The monument is accessible by car, but be ready for speed bumps galore.

DENZEL Washington soars to career highs in Robert Zemeckis's emotionally wrought character study of a pilot wrestling with alcohol dependency.
Underpinned by John Gatins's intelligent script, Flight is a provocative drama that refuses to cast judgment on the central character as he repeats past mistakes and attempts to dodge the repercussions of his reckless actions.
Instead, Zemeckis's film accompanies the pilot on a turbulent journey of self-discovery as a major mechanical failure in the air puts his boozy lifestyle under the microscope of public scrutiny.
Captain William "Whip" Whitaker (Washington) wakes in a plush hotel room festooned with discarded bottles and the naked body of last night's conquest, flight attendant Katerina Marquez (Nadine Velazquez).
Swigs of beer set Whip up for the day and he strides purposefully into the cockpit of his SouthJet flight to Atlanta while holding a bottle of orange juice spiked with vodka.
Katerina is on board, serving passengers alongside experienced colleague Margaret Thomason (Tamara Tunie).
A routine flight becomes a nightmare when the plane suddenly loses altitude and hurtles towards the ground.
Whip is forced to perform a daredevil manoeuvre to halt the rapid descent before crash-landing in a field.
A subsequent investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board, threatens to expose Whip's alcoholism and, in turn, his career.

The Itsy-Bitsy Spider, Illustrated
We all know the song "The Itsy-bitsy Spider", but how is this for a great idea?? Find or draw a picture of a house. Next, use an elbow straw for a "water spout", thread on a spider ring, and tape at the top and bottom of the straw so the spider stays on the straw, but can still move up and down as you sing.

Leonardo DiCaprio can add "Jack Nicholson impersonator" to his list of talents.
While promoting "Django Unchained" in Japan, the interviewer asked him if he knew how to do any impersonations.
"Well, uh, I do these Jack Nicholson eyebrows," he said.
U.S. & World
DiCarprio raised his eyebrows and flashed a mischievous grin in an uncanny impersonation of his co-star from "The Departed."
DiCaprio also answered questions about what kind of women he likes. They must have "great personalities," he said.
"They have to be very clever and have a great sense of humor. Sense of humor the most," he added.
DiCaprio and Nicholson starred in 2006's "The Departed", a remake of a popular Hong Kong film about gangsters and undercover cops.

Follow me on twitter @EricLilly7
Easy yes... you sell high on Maglio and Young. But you might want to reconsider if your other hitters have low BA and RBI.
Not a bad trade at all. I'm a big Shields fan though so I could be biased. I think he'll have a pretty darn good year regardless. Kemp's production could be low since he's still young. Kinda depends on how deep you are elsewhere obviously.
"The Hall of Fame is there to keep alive the memory of people. You don't need to do that with people like Buck [O'Niel] and Joe [Nuxhall]. Nobody's forgetting those guys."
- Joe Posnanski
I like it too. Is Kemp going to start this season? On their depth chart he is set to start, but I wonder if Pierre will start instead? Hopefully you have OF insurance.
pretty solid start of a team I'd say
"The Hall of Fame is there to keep alive the memory of people. You don't need to do that with people like Buck [O'Niel] and Joe [Nuxhall]. Nobody's forgetting those guys."
- Joe Posnanski
I do have one more question..i'll just post my roster because it'll help others answer the question
C- Saltalamacchia
1B - Loney
2B - Upton
3B - Encarnacion
SS - Jeter
OF - Rios
OF - Soriano
OF - Crawford
Util - Mark Reynolds
Util - Kemp
Should I trade Jeter for a power bench/util player. The only reason I bring this up is because Khalil Greene is on the free agency. I said earlier my team is average on RBIs, but i've changed my mind and i'd like to get a big bat hitter. Thoughts?
Follow me on twitter @EricLilly7
Now that trade looks bad. Greene with Magglio/Kendrick might have been a better combo since you have plenty of steals. I really don't like this team at all, unless it's a longterm keeper league. You have a potential for a very low BA, especially if you get Greene. Loney, Upton, and Kemp had very high BABIPs last year and you cannot expect anything over .300, and maybe .290 at the highest. You are going to win SB in this lineup. It might be worth it to deal Crawford for a power top OF bat and keep Jeter. This way you won't take a bigger hit with AVG. You get a lot more HR and RBI. You also deal from a position of strength in SB. in H2H, steals aren't as important because anyone could have a lucky week. Power guys will generally contribute more consistently.
Your stength is Runs and SB. There are more than 2007 numbers when it comes to AVG. AVG has a large luck factor and can fluctuate greatly from year to year. BABIP gives a general idea whether or not a player got lucky. AVG's always need to be regressed to the mean for predictions. Jeter should be solid. But some others are very risky. You Cannot rely on a luck induced AVG from the previous year. Fantasy predictions HAVE to be conservative.
BABIP - Player
.393 - Upton
.411 - Kemp
.378 - Reynalds
.350 - Loney
.374 - Crawford
BABIP is Batting Average on Balls in Play. This is a measure of the number of batted balls that safely fall in for a hit (not including home runs). The exact formula we use is (H-HR)/(AB-K-HR+SF) This is similar to DER, but from the batter's perspective.
The average BABIP is around .300. Some players can sustain high BABIPs like Ichiro or Jeter or low BABIPs like anduw Jones. But in most cases you need to regress data to roughly .300.
You are setting yourself up for a huge dissapointment if you bank on AVG. It is a big mistake. Your team is probably fine, but replacing Jeter with Greene is going to absolutly kill any chance in AVG.
The best option is to trade Crawford for a power bat. Crawford fits your strengths in Runs/SB and you can afford to trade them since you NEED power/RBI. The AVG change will be a minor hit at best and will most like be negligible. Trust me on this.
You need to let all the reds/player bias go when dealing in fantasy baseball. I've draft my least favorite player in baseball, Sosa, many times.
Remember, the reason why I say Crawford is because he has the most trade value and will give you the best power guy. You don't have a single predictive 25 HR guy except Soriano, and all those guys are mostly top of the order type. Carl is very predictive by now, so you won't risk trading a future breakout player at a low value.
Follow me on twitter @EricLilly7
And again, by dropping a consistent high average, Jeter, for a low average, Jones or Green or whoever, you are setting yourself up for a big surprise. Jones is especially worrisome.
The reason is because he get's on massive hot and cold steaks. But his colds streaks far outweight the hot ones and will really hurt the team in H2H.
Jeter is the wrong choice to trade. I have drafted Jeter maybe only once in 50+ drafts, but you can't undervalue his talents.
Again, Rios/Upton have career high 24HRs. EE's high is 16HR. When projecting future performance in fantasy, it is always better to be on the safe side. You project 25 HR for Rios/Uption and 15 for EE at the very best when making the roster.
You say you want to use 2007 AVG for 2008 AVG, but then use higher than 2007 HR for 2008 HR. This is to everyone that plays. When you project young or sleepers or stars or whoever, you always project conservative with the hope of breakout, but not depending on breakout. You regress numbers that are high like Fielders 50+ HRs, or Magglio's .350 BA. If you can create and project a winning team with conservative values, that will almost always create a winner in the league.

Where Is U.S. On Climate Change?
Leadership needed.
As irresponsible and embarrassing as the so-called fiscal cliff disgrace is for elected officials in Washington, it is made more so by the fact that such a woeful disregard for the common good of citizens of the United States is also distracting lawmakers from acting on even more pressing and important issues. Like global climate change.
Less than a week ago international climate talks ended with the United States unwilling to make any new commitments on controlling carbon emissions or even to continue working on the issue. This stance of course reflects a generally held reluctance in Washington to consider climate discussion at anywhere near the level of urgency of an overwhelming majority of the world's scientists and other world leaders.
President Obama pledged during his re-election campaign to renew efforts to cut emissions in the U.S. Now is the time to act on that pledge and regain some global credibility. This country needs to take a stand on climate change once and for all. And then it must act.

HP Pre 3 vs. Palm Pre 2
No comments · Posted by admin in HP Pre 3, Palm Pre 2
The Palm Pre 2 will soon be available from Verizon Wireless (can be pre-ordered now), but the HP Pre 3 is the WebOS smartphone that truly represents the new beginning for WebOS as far as embracing mobile professionals is concerned.
Where the Pre 2 offers a 3.1-inch HVGA screen, the Pre 3 offers a 3.6-inch WVGA screen. That's in line with other smartphones targeting mobile professionals. Other key specs include a 1.4GHz Snapdragon processor, 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and 720p HD video recording, VGA front-facing camera, 512MB RAM, as well as 8/16GB internal memory. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi Wireless-N, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR as well as Wi-Fi Mobile HotSpot functionality for up to five devices. The HP Pre 3 also offers dual-mic noise cancellation for improved voice quality.
If you happen to buy the HP TouchPad, the Pre 3 will offer Touch-to-share with that device. HP says you'll be able to simply tap your Pre 3 phone to the TouchPad to share Web addresses between devices. A Touchstone charger that is sold separately also supports WebOS 2.0′s Exhibition feature, which lets you use specifically designed apps while charging the phone (such as accessing the phone's calendar). Additionally, the HP Pre 3′s Web browser supports Flash Player 10.1 beta.

Dread Clampitt @ The Red Bar
Bummer dude!
This event has already happened. To be sure you don't miss anymore events in South Walton, visit the SoWal Events Calendar.
Catch SoWal local favorite Dread Clampitt on stage at The Red Bar on Sundays.
Dread is on stage on Sundays at noon year round. Come back at 7pm for another show during the season. Also Monday nights during Spring and Summer.
There's a jumpin' little joint off of Hwy 30-A in the cozy laid back beach town of Grayton Beach, FL where if the food doesn't get you the music will. Same as the chicken and the egg, it's hard to say who came first, Dread Clampitt or The Red Bar.
On any given Sunday (or Monday), the Red Bar is shaking. Literally. You know this because you can feel it in your feet as you approach the front door while inside Balder Saunders, Kyle Ogle, and Kenny Oliverio - collectively known as Dread Clampitt tear through their set leaving the packed house dancing in their wake.
Part legend, part tradition the magical combination has become a pilgrimage for people from every corner of the map and as well as locals alike who all with testify, there is nothing like a Dread Clampitt show.
When Dread Clampitt is rockin' the Red Bar, they draw all kinds of people as the night goes on, rednecks and hippies are both right at home. Elbow-to-elbow feet moving and heads bobbing, politicians, boat captains, beach bums, celebrities and oystermen too. You can be yourself at a Dread show, it doesn't matter what you do.
Dread Clampitt cooks up one of a kind homemade music. It's a tasty sonic gumbo of influences ranging from bluegrass, rock & roll, blues, jazz and Louisiana Bayou funk complete with three part harmonies and pinch of southern humor thrown in for good

There is confusion , truly confusion when it comes to truth and news in Egypt , still without doubt the government can not market the curfew decision publicly especially with the refusal of commercial chambers.
Now whether the shops and curfew going to be postponed indefinitely or for just one week , here are my two cents :
Despite I am from the victims of those sleepless cafes in my street with its noise 24/7 , I am totally against the decision to impose a curfew or force the shops and restaurants.
Economically this decision will harm millions and force them in to unemployment by cancelling the night shifts in time we are fighting unemployment. I am not even speaking about shops and restaurants in fancy areas in Cairo but rather in poor and middle class areas.
This reason can be connected to the economical reasons , as we are speaking about economic losses for these shops which can not find customers in that early times.
Another social point that should be raised is that these open restaurants and shops foe very late time provide huge security in time we are suffering from the lack of security. There are complete streets that got no light posts in fancy areas like Mohendessin and Zamalek , open shops till late night provide company and security. Just think about poor areas.
Only the cafes and restaurants with tourism license will be exempted. The big irony is that conservatives are cheering for that decision without realizing that shops , night clubs cafes and restaurants selling alcohol got tourism license and thus they can be opened all night till morning . I bet some cafes and restaurants will think of selling alcohols in order to be granted tourism license !!
It is unfair when cafes and restaurants with tourism license open all night where as popular cafes in poor areas that provide security indirectly to the people in these locations close because they can not afford or even want to be touristically licensed !!!
|BY Maher Hatem : Cinderella had to leave
her prince at 10 PM to close her shop
The closure of shops and restaurants at 10 PM will not save energy either , again if you want to provide and save energy you got other alternatives starting with raising the electricity bills to shops and restaurants and ending at the use of solar energy in Egypt.
Small towns and cities already do not need laws or orders to close the shops and restaurants , it is more of social habit you can feel it.
Anyhow even if the curfew imposed and the Hisham Kandeel's government is trying to put Cairo asleep , I doubt that the defiant city will sleep early. Mubarak and Sadat also issued similar decrees and they failed to make this country sleep early in time our population was much less than our population is now !!
Interesting news related to the subject we are discussing :
- The commercial chambers are still negotiating with government regarding the decision.
- Some revolutionaries are actually because this decision will make more people angry from Morsi and his government.
- Some have discovered that the closure of shops and work place earlier is actually part of the recommendation and advices proposed by Hassan El Banaa in his famous messages to the Muslim rulers.
- Zaki Abdeen , the infamous foul-mouthed Felol minister attacked and spoke improperly with TV host Reem Maged on Wednesday ending his on air call rudely with her because she dared and told him that people are complaining from his decision.

Last night I missed a run club night. I had an Orrock Township meeting I had to attend, so ran on the trail with Topaz earlier instead.
As I pulled into the Blue Hill Trail lot I spotted a man and woman smoking a joint and drinking a beer while sitting on their back van door. Good grief!
I ran only one loop for 5 miles, then arrived home to pick up Tyler from football, get the boys fed and off to my meeting.
This morning I ran intervals on my treadmill. I love my treadmill. I've had it for 9 years now, and don't know what I would do without it. I ran at 7 mph for 2 minutes, then 8.5 mph for 2 minutes for 30 minutes. Just as I was going to call it quits AC/DC showed up on my iPod and I had to run a bit more.
I love my iPod too. I recall running along on my treadmill, listening to 93X and getting so irritated with the commercials. It is so awesome to run to music. Only music.
PMS is driving me absolutely crazy. I feel like a beached whale. Running this morning made me feel MUCH better.
M1: Oat pancake: Used .5 cup of oats instead of 1 cup because of the beached whale feeling
M2: Banana, 1 scoop All The Whey Orange
M3: Cucumbers, 1 tuna pouch
M4: Large green salad, 6 oz salmon
Will run for 45 minutes during Troy's football practice tonight. Go away PMS go away. Endorphins are nice.

Extra services: Excess baggage services
Excess Baggage
If you have only couple of items of personal effects to transport, a suitcase, a bag or even a single box we can arrange to have your items picked up, transported and delivered using one of our trusted and highly respected excess baggage partners in the business.
European Moving have access to a network of expert resources to move your items anywhere within Europe. This service is particularly suited to expats, foreign nationals, students, holiday makers and businesses and offers a wide range of options to suit your personal requirements.
Holiday Luggage
You may have booked your flight using a budget airline but when you go to add a bag or suitcase this often works out very expensive and what you thought was a cheap travel solution no longer seems to be as cost effective as you anticipated. European Moving can arrange to have your bags collected from your home and delivered to your destination ready for your arrival, meaning you can avoid those long queues at the airport and start enjoying your holiday sooner!
Oversized and Awkward Shaped Luggage
We often wonder if our luggage is too heavy or does not meet the long list of requirements set by the airlines which are also likely to be different from one to the next. The good news is that there is no item too big or too heavy that can't be transported using European Moving's excess baggage service. You will have the piece of mind knowing that you do not have to worry about turning up at the airport just to be told that you cannot take it or if it possible you will be charged a ridiculous amount of money to do so.
Student Services
We all know that one thing students don't usually have much of is money. Sending your personal belonging's using our Excess baggage service is not only easy and reliable but is cost effective and is sure to save you money and time.
Business Services
You need to get the contents of your office drawers and filing cabinets picked up and delivered safely and securely but it is just not possible to carry them on the train or in the car? European Moving's Excess Baggage Service is the ideal solution to do just that. We have a range of options available to also include full comprehensive insurance cover and tracking.
Extra services: Furniture hoists, external lifts and elevator hire
Each and every move is different and offers its own set of challenges, some big, some small. European Moving are experienced in finding solutions for all types of obstacles to ensure the move goes with the minimal amount of stress and inconvenience for the customer.
A lot of buildings in several European towns and cities simply to not allow for furniture to be taken into the property the conventional way. European Moving have a network of highly trained professionals across the whole of Europe to assist, together with specialised equipment to suit your individual requirements.
Whether you need to get your sofa through a ground floor window or the entire contents of your home up to the 5th floor we will almost certainly have a solution for you.
A furniture hoist is a truck mounted lifting platform capable of raising heavy loads to high rise building's, they are also referred to as elevator cranes, furniture cranes, removal lifts or lifting hoists.
Even if it is possible to take your furniture though the doors, up the elevator and into your 5th floor property, this is very time consuming, exhausting and can be expensive. Using a furniture lift will make this task a whole lot easier and offers the following benefits;
- All equipment is supplied with a trained operator
- No scaffolding is required
- Saves time and money
- Can lift up to 15m3 per hour
- Both hourly and day rates available
- Fast installation
Please let your move coordinator know if you would like to add this to your booking and they will ensure that you receive a top-quality service at the most competitive prices.
Extra services: Shuttle Service
One of the first things you should consider when planning your move is what type of vehicle you will require, and will it be able to access all addresses. This is something that is very often overlooked but is very important to ensure a smooth moving process.
At European Moving we use 3.5 tonne luton vans to transport your belongings, we have found this type of vehicle to be the easiest and most cost-effective way to carry out your removal across Europe, either by using 1 or multiple vans.
You are sure to have been offered all types services using different moving vehicles. Using anything bigger than a 3.5 tonne luton van could potentially cause you problems when it comes to access, we are sure it is not possible for most people to take collection or delivery from an Arctic lorry!
Whilst we are confident that we can access most places using a 3.5 tonne van there will always be times when even this is not possible. In these instances, European Moving can arrange for a local shuttle service to ferry your goods from the moving van to your home.
Please inform your move coordinator at the earliest opportunity if you think you will require a shuttle service or if you have any concerns at all regarding access. They will be happy to discuss your options in more detail.
The cost of this service will depend on the location; However, we can guarantee the most competitive prices without compromising on standards. Your individual requirements will be considered to ensure the best possible service.

Food, Inc. is a documentary of sorts that will be released in June. In Minnesota it will be playing at the Lagoon Theatre in Minneapolis.
The movie details genetic engineering, cloning, environmental impacts and pesticides all involved in the processing of our food.
Anchor Eric Schlosser of Fast Food Nation tours many of the food processing facilities and apparently we will be quite shocked as what takes place.
One day as I was shopping at Walmart for cleaning supplies I walked through the meat section. I couldn't believe that chicken breasts were advertised as $5.99 for 3 pounds! I walked over to check out the breasts and saw that they were GIGANTIC! Each breast was just shy of a pound. Instead of becoming excited to find such a bargain I became afraid. What in the world happened to the chickens to make the breasts so large? What were they fed? What drugs were pumped into them to make them grow so large? Eeek.
For the past year I have been purchasing grass fed beef-purchasing a 1/4 and then a 1/2 from a local farmer. He sells me my chickens and eggs as well. I have been purchasing only organic fruits and vegetables, I bake my own bread out of local grains and planted my vegetable garden a few weeks ago. The Minneapolis Farmers Market opened yesterday, is open each Thursday. I can't wait to begin to shop there once summer vacation begins for me (only one more week)!
I am anxious to see this film, it will show the connection between food companies, government and health practitioners. Ought to be interesting.

The oversized chicken breasts are a result of breeding, not chemicals (the poor things are barely able to walk). Also, the meat is usually injected with salt water to plump them - you end up paying less per pound, but the pounds are largely water.
For the record, I've never even been inside a Wal-Mart.

Julie, we're actually open 7 days a week at our main location (Lyndale and 55).

Right on Julie, I like your consumption habits. I also feel horrible for the factory farm animals, personal health aside. Such grossness in our food chain. Ick.

The best screen comedies all have something in common.
Um, they're funny, Tom.
Ok, yes, they are funny. Agreed. But when you think of your favorite screen comedies, I bet they share something else: the movies are nightmares. Things get bad then worse, then worse again. Just when you think things can't get any worse, wow, here comes another disaster. One of my favorite movies of all time, Tootsie, does this beautifully. The last 30 minutes of Tootsie is a brilliant hail storm of abuse deservedly heaped on Dustin Hoffman's character, Michael Dorsey. A recent comedy I find pretty amazing also follows this classic form: Bridesmaids. Early in the movie, Jill Clayburg, playing Kristin Wiig's mother, tells Wiig's character Annie she's hit rock bottom. Oh my, no. Things go from bad to worse to.. well, you've probably seen the movie, one of the biggest hits of last year. Every time you think Annie's hit rock bottom, the bottom drops from under her yet again. Bridesmaids is hilarious yes but it, too, is a nightmare. It's also difficult to imagine Bridesmaids, or any of the recent spate of nightmare comedies, without having been preceded by one of the more brilliant screen comedies of all time, Blake Edward's 10.
10 was released in 1979 and, like Bridesmaids, was an enormous hit, grossing the equivalent of 236 million dollars. The movie was controversial because it pushed the boundaries of what had been seen and discussed on film. One of the wonderful things about the movie is how envelope pushing and modern much of it remains. Even by today's standards there are some wildly eye-opening aspects to the movie. And perhaps no movie has ever heaped such wonderful abuse on its main character.

The southernmost map of this route begins in Mobile, Alabama, and follows several rivers north to Fulton, Mississippi. In the 1800s Mobile was a key port for ships to unload enslaved Africans. The Tensaw, Alabama, and Tombigbee rivers all flow into Mobile Bay, and were used as guides for freedom seekers to escape northward. Besides the lush green scenery and the many small towns Section 1 passes through, a host of museums, historic parks, and visitor centers bring the region's history alive.

Eye-catchers: Hoophall Classic
MORE EYE-CATCHERS: Flying to the Hoop | Hoops in Overdrive | City of Palms
Rivals.com analyst Jerry Meyer spent last weekend at the Spalding Hoophall Classic in Springfield, Mass. Here's a look at Meyer's "Eye-Catchers" from the tournament. Prospects are listed alphabetically.
Eye-catchers: Hoophall Classic
Wayne Blackshear, Wing, Morgan Park
Meyer's take: Fighting a knee injury throughout most of the game, Blackshear gutted out an impressive performance in a win over Tony Wroten and his Garfield squad. A sturdily built wing who should contribute immediately at Louisville, Blackshear scored 26 points on 10-of-17 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds.
Omar Calhoun, Wing, Calhoun
Meyer's take: There was nothing flashy about Calhoun's performance, but was it effective. Calhoun quietly put up 23 points on 7-of-13 shooting, 4-of-8 from the three-point line, 10 rebounds and six assists in a win over Westchester Country Day. With a game similar to Blackshear, Calhoun will have a college-ready game when the time comes.
DaJuan Coleman C, Jamesville-Dewitt
Meyer's take: Coleman was simply a man amongst boys against Webster Groves. He did have a height advantage, but Webster Groves had some muscle. That muscle was no math for Coleman who scored numerous buckets through contact. A much better conditioned player than in the past, Coleman rang up an impressive double-double of 23 points and 20 rebounds.
Anthony Davis, PF, Perspectives
Meyer's take: There might not be a high school player in the country who does more for his team than Davis. He is Perspective Charter's best ballhandler, passer, outside scorer, inside scorer, rebounder and defender. At the Spalding Hoophall Classic, Davis put all these skills on display before missing the final two minutes of the game with a jammed thumb. On 12-of-18 shooting, he scored 30 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked seven shots.
Mike Gilchrist, Wing, St. Patrick
Meyer's take: There isn't a high-level prospect in the 2011 class who can match the relentlessly aggressive style of Gilchrist. He never takes a possession off and squeezes out the most of his ability. Matched against two five-star forwards out of the 2012 class, Gilchrist had a typical productive game with 27 points and 10 assists. His intangibles will be as important to Kentucky next year as any of his skills.
Myck Kabongo, PG, Findlay Prep
Meyer's take: Kabongo sets the tone for Findlay Prep and nothing changed in regards to this at the Spalding Hoophall Classic. In Findlay Prep's two games, Kabongo averaged 11.5 points, nine assists and came up with a bunch of rebounds and steals as well. He is a speedster with the basketball, but Kabongo also has an advanced feel for what to do with the ball while on the move.
Myles Mack, PG, St. Anthony
Meyer's take: Although he drained 6-of-7 shots from behind the arc, Mack's outside shooting wasn't the most notable aspect of his game. Instead it was his explosiveness to the rim in transition and the way he guided the St. Anthony attack from the point guard position. Mack showed promise of being a quality lead scoring guard at Rutgers.
Shabazz Muhammad, Wing, Bishop Gorman
Meyer's take: Muhammad struggled during the first half against St. Patrick. In the second half, however, he found his rhythm and turned it on for a game-high 28 points. Muhammad is a threat to hit three-pointers and score off the dribble, but he also has a quality turnaround jumper he can utilize as a post-up scorer.
LaQuinton Ross, Wing, Life Center Academy
Meyer's take:For starters, Ross did an excellent job defending 7-footer Kaleb Tarczewski, who is one of the top centers in the 2012 class. Offensively, Ross was impressive as well. He put Life Center up early with 21 points on 7-of-11 shooting in the first half and did a nice job handling the ball and passing throughout the game. Headed to Ohio State, Ross will be one of the top shooters in the Big Ten.
Shannon Scott, PG, Milton
Meyer's take: Ohio State is picking up a quality point guard in Scott. The maturity of his game and his physical strength will enable him to make an impact right from the beginning. Playing with a high-level blend of explosiveness and efficiency, Scott got to the rim with regularity and knocked down 7-of-11 shots from the field and made 8-of-9 free throws, leading Milton to a win over Oak Hill Academy.

lose your marbles
lose (one's) marbles
To be or become mentally deficient, incompetent, or deranged; to become of unsound mind. My poor grandmother started losing her marbles after she had a stroke. I've been so sleep deprived lately that it feels like I've lost my marbles!
lose your marblesINFORMAL
If you lose your marbles, you become crazy. At 83 I haven't lost my marbles and my memory is, thank God, as clear as it ever was. People are talking about him as if he's lost his marbles. Note: You can also say that someone has all their marbles, meaning that they are not crazy. He's in his eighties but he clearly still has all his marbles.
lose your marblesgo insane; become irrational or senile. informal
Marbles as a term for 'a person's mental faculties' probably originated as early 20th-century American slang. The underlying reference is apparently to the children's game played with multicoloured glass balls.
1998 Spectator At least, that is how I recall the event, but I am losing my marbles.

Terrence Howard is not angry about losing his "Iron Man 2" part to Don Cheadle.
In fact he sounded pretty serene about it at the Cannes Film Festival and is clearly not planning some kind of twisted comic book revenge against the filmmakers.
"Despite the customary idea or thought that there's some controversy, it was a wonderful split and I know that they've done well," Howard told E! Online.
Howard played "Rhodey" in the 2008 original, but was replaced by Cheadle in the greatly expanded part for the sequel tearing through theaters now. Cheadle went to great pains
When the news broke of the switch in 2008, Howard told an NPR radio program that losing the part was "the surprise of a lifetime." But clearly things have mellowed. Cheadle reassured reporters at the press day for the sequel that there was no feud, "We're cool," he said. "Terrence is a friend whom I've known for a long time."
And when speaking in Cannes, Howard pointed out that maybe Cheadle just wanted it longer: "Don Cheadle wanted to play that part before I wanted to play it," he said, "so everything is very well."
He praised Robert Downey Jr. in the role, even if he took credit for bringing the actor to the part.
"Robert Downey Jr. was born to play that part," Howard said. "For me to have recommended him means all the more so that I helped someone get to where they were supposed to go."
As for whether he has seen the movie? "I haven't had a chance, but I will!"

During its 72nd meeting this week in Dublin, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) held two birds-of-a-feather (BoF) sessions about bandwidth for peer-to-peer applications. The first was about finding more bandwidth for P2P apps, the second one about how such apps can use less of it.
Finding more
The topic for the ALTO (Application-Layer Traffic Optimization) BoF was to come up with a way for ISPs to signal which network paths peer-to-peer applications such as BitTorrent should use as their first choice. BitTorrent typically sets up several dozen connections to BitTorrent users elsewhere. It then tries to download over each connection, but it only uploads data over about four connections at a time. If BitTorrent manages to set up connections to destinations reachable over high-bandwidth paths when starting a download, it can reach much higher download speeds more quickly.
On the surface, an "oracle" server that knows which paths have the best bandwidth might seem to be a bad thing for ISPs like Comcast that have been trying to control P2P bandwidth. But that's not necessarily the case: the all-knowing oracle could also be equipped to guide peer-to-peer traffic to avoid congested parts of the network and use cheap or under-utilized network paths instead.
The idea still has to face a host of open questions, so it's not a given that the "oracle" service will ever see the light of day (or the inside of the tubes).
Using less
A couple of days later, the TANA (Techniques for Advanced Networking Applications) BoF discussed implementing a scavenger service for peer-to-peer traffic. Under normal circumstances, packets flowing over the Internet receive a best effort service: the routers do what they can to deliver the packets.
There has been plenty of work in the IETF to allow for better than best effort service, but the idea behind the "scavenger service" is different. If you can give certain packets a worse than best effort service, they won't get in the way of packets sent by other applications. So it's no problem to fill up network links with packets that are marked with a code requesting the scavenger service—if there's not enough bandwidth, the scavenger packets are the first to be thrown away.
Unfortunately, most routers aren't set up to support this scavenger service, and even if they were, using the service requires complex settings in the few applications that support it, like Azureus. Solution: rather than let the routers throw out scavenger packets as needed to keep the tubes from getting clogged, implement a scavenger service in TCP's congestion control.
Normal TCP behavior is to increase its transmission speed relatively slowly, and then back off quickly when packets are lost, presumably because the network couldn't handle the rate at which TCP was sending. The scavenger service is implemented by simply ramping up more slowly and backing off even more quickly than with regular congestion control. There seemed to be the prerequisite "rough consensus" in the BoF that this idea has some merit.
Unfortunately, there is a slight complication. TCP congestion control is implemented in the kernel of an operating system. Changing this code is always tricky, but not a huge deal if you have the kernel source, as with Linux, BSD, and even Mac OS, but it gets much harder in the case of Windows. Microsoft has implemented a number of changes to TCP in Vista, but it seems unlikely it would push out an additional TCP congestion control algorithm in an update—this would probably be a feature in Windows 7, if that. And it's unlikely many Mac users will be compiling their own kernel just so their BitTorrent downloads are friendlier on the network.
The alternative would be to use the only other protocol that gets through firewalls and NAT devices reliably: UDP. In the BoF, some argued that this is the only workable choice, while others expressed disgust at re-implementing TCP over UDP just because it's inconvenient to wait for the OS vendors.
Getting a BoF group approved is the first hurdle to jump in having a new working group chartered in the IETF. Now that the BoFs have taken place, it's up to the IETF's leadership to determine whether this work should find a permanent home.

I have been a very satisfied user of Pocomail going back to the early 2000s. I'm actually still using 18.104.22.1680. I've had a weird problem pop up in the past month, with two main symptoms described beow:
* The Inbox starts losing messages. In other words, I'll see 104 messages in the Inbox, close the program, start it again, and then it shows 72 messages. If I restore a backup of the in.* files I'll see the 104 messages again, but deleting In.idx and restarting Pocomail, shows 104 messages when I bring up Pocomail again, so I guess the index was corrupt.
* I'll start with 134 Inbox messages, go through them all, sort and delete messages, and whittle it down to 22 messages. When I restart Pocomail, I see the same 134 messages reappear in the Inbox again, as if I had made no changes! Interestingly the messages that were moved to other mailboxes are there where I had put them.
I am not sure what is causing this problem and I can't find a pattern to it yet. Pocomail had worked fine up until this fall and I made no changes to my system, to Pocomail, or to the settings, so I am wondering if maybe I am getting regular spams that have content which corrupt the inbox somehow or prevent the index (in.idx) from being built properly. I am just taking a guess, though... I don't even know where to start.

Once again, a movie claiming to cast doubt on the deity of Christ resorts to outright fabrications to make its case. Gordan Franz, guest columnist and archaeologist, explains.
On Monday morning, February 26, 2007, I heard this opening statement by Matt Lauer on the NBC Today show: "Is this the tomb of Jesus?"
Gordon Franz, a Bible teacher, recently visited the large new Darwin exhibition on the third floor of the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City.
