American River 50 Mile – AR50 by Steve Mackel
The American River 50 Mile Endurance race was my first 50 miler. When I was editing it I tried to make it shorter but to cut a few extra seconds just wasn't worth it. Beside most of my marathon videos are about 9 minutes and this race was almost twice as long. If you are looking to do your first 50 or any 50 mile race this is a great one. I hope you enjoy it Below is my race report to go along with the video.
The race started right on time, 6 AM. It was still dark under a full moon. I wasn't completely prepared for the start. I wanted to get everyone crossing the starting line. Almost 3 minutes into the start I wanted to get started but I was still in my sweats and hadn't done my warm-up exercises. First rookie move: Not asking the timer if I could take a few minutes to get ready. Instead I crossed the starting line, pulled over to the left, struggled out of my sweats and went through my rituals. Right about then Kat was crossing the starting line. We ran the first 4 miles together.
Second rookie move: I didn't have my Garmin ready to go at the start. It was dark and I just got a new 910XT. I started pressing buttons and ended up locking the keys. I wouldn't display the right fields. I wanted to see my Heart Rate because I had intended to keep my HR under 120 bpm for the first 3 hours regardless of speed. Luckily my Garmin 310XT was in my support crew's car. They had it waiting for me at the mile 8 aid station, so I switched. I will post my Garmin stats later.
The first 27 miles are pretty flat with only a few real hills but still a net gain overall. I felt great and my support crew had food waiting for me at every aid station through Beal's Point. I ate as much as I could. We agreed to meet next at Rattlesnake Bar.
At Beal's Point, mile 26.6, I was right on schedule. Third rookie mistake: Trying new food. I drank a can of Ensure for the calories. It really filled me up and I wasn't thirsty so I stopped drinking pretty much until Granite Bay.
At Granite Bay I was handed a cup of ice and water. It didn't go down easy and I was worried something was wrong, maybe a little dehydration. I only had two 6 oz water bottles in my belt for the next legs of the race. That would prove to be a big mistake.
Somewhere around mile 33 I didn't feel good. At this point you are out in the sticks. A guy named Ryan told me I'd be ok and I had been in tough spots before, but I was glad he reminded me.
I think the terrain between Granite Bay and Horseshoe Bar are the most difficult miles on the course. I was in survival mode just focused on getting to Buzzard's Cove. Carolyn, my new friend, said she was worried about being dehydrated too and was going to work through it by constantly sipping her electrolyte drink. A good strategy if I had liquid but my bottles were dry. Thankfully she let me have a gulp from her bottle and it was only half a mile to Buzzard's Cove
When I got to Buzzard's Cove aid station (serviced only by boat), I saw ice cream cones. They looked great but not for me. I drank 4 cups of GU Brew. I filled my two bottles and took a cup with me as I started to Horseshoe Bar. I was constantly sipping and eating my salted potatoes. I kept the wax paper cup in my pocket and was using it to take water from every little stream we ran over to pour some over my head and cool down. My bottles were dry with a half mile to the next aid station. I also was developing my first hot spot on my right forefoot.
Horseshoe Bar was nirvana. They poured cold water over my head, neck and back. They filled my bottles up and gave me more salted potatoes. I was carrying a small bar of Body Glide, so I applied it to both my feet. I knew my crew was waiting at Rattlesnake Bar I just had to keep moving then I could rest and reassess my situation. Granite Bay to Rattlesnake Bar were some of the toughest 10 miles I have run in my life. The salted potatoes were probably my lifesaver. The salt helped me rehydrate.
Rattlesnake Bar was a welcome sight with lots of cheering supporters. My crew was on the spot with everything I could want. I took 10 – 15 minutes putting more Body Glide on my feet, pouring ice water over my head, drinking cups of GU Brew and stocking up on salted potatoes. I took two Alleve and hit the trail again.
I took an extra water bottle with me this time. The trail was soft and beautiful. That's when I met Anna. I heard her say she wanted to be at the bottom of the hill by 4:15 PM and I thought we had more than enough time to make that goal when I said, "That should be very doable." She looked at me and said, "This must be your first AR50 because you don't know what you are in for Cowboy."
Thankfully I started to feel better and the views were spectacular. All I wanted to do was dunk my head in the river but it was always just a little bit too far away. Around Mile 42.5 there was a bridge crossing a tributary. I saw a path to the stream and dunked my head. I can't completely explain how it happened but I was re-energized.
The volunteers at Dowdin's Post, in the middle of nowhere, were so energetic it was contagious. Plus, they had lukewarm chicken noodle soup, just what the doctor ordered. I was back on track and feeling good. Now it was just getting the work done. On to Last Gasp.
What you don't see on the course profile is the climb to Last Gasp aid station, "Stupid Steep". I am sure some super humans run up it, but not us mortals. It can be a real morale de-flater. But, I was feeling stronger than I had in 8 hours. I could walk up that BAMF. And, just before Last Gasp, a few young guys, I called them water valets, were waiting to run your bottles to the top and have them waiting for you. Heavy metal was blasting from some speaker as we approached their aid station. They took great care of me. Only 2 miles to go.
A Maniac friend Lan and I started up the next hill, which wasnot as bad as what we had just conquered. She said we could still go sub 11 hours and qualify for Western States. I took the challenge and went into a meditation prayer state, running with short walk breaks when it got really steep. My support crew was about a half mile from the finish down the hill cheering me on. I was probably rude because I would not talk, I just kept my chant going. Before I knew it I was at the top of the hill. The race was in the bag.
The crowd was great at the finish line, cheering loudly for us. The finishing arch was such a beautiful site. I crossed with a fist pump and was handed my cool, new, green Patagonia finisher's jacket. I can cross a 50 mile race off my bucket list.
My crew showed me to the car where they had my recovery Ensure waiting for me, along with melted ice in a cooler. I dunked my head once again and this time put my feet in. Then I would go over to the finishing area and cheer the other runners on while resting on the grass.
A little while later my friend Hector came in with his traditional heel kick across the finish line. My day was officially done. Then was time for a well deserved beer.

AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) — Still stinging from back-to-back losses to the Mountain West's other heavyweights, the New Mexico Lobos are taking out their frustrations on everyone else.
The Lobos got 13 points from both Drew Gordon and Kendall Williams Tuesday night when they handed Air Force an 81-42 drubbing, its most lopsided home loss ever.
With their third straight double-digit win, the Lobos (18-4, 4-2) moved within a half-game of conference co-leaders No. 11 UNLV and No. 17 San Diego State, the two schools that handed them early losses in league play.
"Those two letdowns obviously showed us what we need to work on," Gordon said.
And they've worked on those things very well, indeed.

The Junior 'A' hockey club from Rio Rancho will be making an appearance at Los Alamos County Ice Rink this week.
The New Mexico Renegades will host a Western States Hockey League contest Saturday at the ice rink. The Renegades will host the Cheyenne Stampede. Game time is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
The Renegades are made up of players born on or before 1991. The team includes players from all over the United States and some from as far away as eastern Europe.
Putting together its biggest offensive night of the season, the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys basketball team ran away from the West Las Vegas Dons in the second half Tuesday.
Nick Baker had one of the biggest nights of his career, throwing down 18 points in only about three quarters of work as the Hilltoppers pounded the Dons 65-41 at Griffith Gymnasium.
Los Alamos scored 40 points in the second half, including a 19-point effort in the fourth quarter with its reserves playing the bulk of that time. Three Hilltoppers got into double-digits scoring while Franklin Archuleta had seven points in the third quarter after not making an appearance in the first half.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — From pickpockets and prostitutes to dirty bombs and exploding manhole covers, authorities are bracing for whatever threat the first Super Bowl in downtown Indianapolis might bring.
Some — nuclear terrorism, for instance — are likely to remain just hypothetical. But others, like thieves and wayward manhole covers, are all too real.
Though Indianapolis has ample experience hosting large sporting events — the Indianapolis 500 attracts more than 200,000 fans each year, and the NCAA's men's Final Four basketball tournament has been held here six times since 1980— the city's first Super Bowl poses some unique challenges.
Rob and Kathy Hipwood inducted into state Hall of Fame
Los Alamos Hilltopper coaches Rob and Kathy Hipwood were inducted into the New Mexico Track and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame this weekend.
The Hipwoods, who are the most successful coaches in this history of New Mexico prep girls cross country, were inducted into the Hall of Fame at a ceremony Saturday.
Under their tutelage, Los Alamos has won 13 state girls titles and three boys titles, including sweeping the boys and girls state championship races in 2011.
Beginning fencing starts Feb. 7
The Los Alamos Hilltopper hockey team reclaimed the North Star Trophy by upsetting the Taos Ice Tigers Saturday.
The Hilltoppers scored two unanswered goals in the third period to upend the Ice Tigers 5-3 at Taos. A pair of underclassmen, sophomore Tyler Thorn and freshman Hudson Davenhall tallied goals in the final period to lift the Hilltoppers to the win.
Los Alamos and Taos are longstanding rivals in the New Mexico Interscholastic Ice Hockey League and play one another each year for the North Star Trophy.
Davenhall, the leading scorer for the Hilltoppers this season, picked up his second hat trick of the year with his third-period goal, which came with just five seconds remaining in regulation. For the season, Davenhall has recorded 11 goals.
Miami Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall caught six passes for 176 yards and a Pro Bowl-record four touchdowns and the AFC used a second-half surge to beat the NFC 59-41 Sunday.
Los Alamos' Tanner Kennedy sends the puck toward the goal during Friday night's game at Los Alamos County Ice Rink.
It was nearly a stunning upset. It was nearly a game that could've instantly reversed the Hilltoppers' fortunes.
Clawing back from an 11-point deficit at the half Friday night, Los Alamos' boys basketball team dropped in 19 third quarter points, one of its most productive quarters of the season.
But with 3.0 seconds remaining, Los Alamos star Nick Baker was whistled for a ticky-tack foul at the baseline. Capital Jaguar veteran Mikey Lopez hit two free throws and Daniel Salazar's desperation 3-pointer from half court just sailed wide of the bucket as the Jaguars escaped Griffith Gymnasium with a 52-50 victory.

One of my biggest issues with the 'Project Management 2.0' concept is that it is conceptualized around other '2.0' concepts like 'Web 2.0' and 'Enterprise 2.0'; both of which are terms that emphasis and denote a technological dimension relating to human interactions. In that context, and following the same logic, PM 2.0 is meant to be denote the application of '2.0' technologies to enhance project management capabilities.
A recent article in the Harvard Business Review analyzed the reasons behind the failure of western Intelligence Services to prevent the recent terror attack on an American Airline. The article states that the whole episode represents a "massive failure of collaboration among intelligence and governmental officials". The facts known about this terror attack are sufficient to conclude that although there was sufficient information to enable an effective prevention of this incident, it lacked nevertheless the final touch of connecting all the dots and consolidating the known data into effective management information.
The author of the HBR article concludes that despite the US (and other countries) investing in IT systems aimed at supporting the above detection and alert systems, it lacked nevertheless the investment in cultural change necessary to ensure that information is not only collected but is also shared. This, the author says, is a matter of cultural change, one that will encourage and foster not just collaboration but effective collaboration.
An interesting case study is cited by Professor Morten Hansen from the INSEAD institute, where SONY failed to launch an effective competition against the Apple iPod and, despite having a collective know-how and expertise in all aspects of designing and manufacturing an iTunes-iPod hybrid, "it turned out to be a failure because the individual departments did not work in unison".
In an earlier post I have stated that 'a fool with a tool is still a tool'. The premise of that post was that a tool in the hands of an inexperienced user, will not generate the desired results. The observations cited above add another dimension to this claim. they highlight the point that even when used by experienced users, desired results are still dependent on other organizational factors, primarily based around cultural adaptation.

FairPoint to cut 90 jobs in Maine, N.H., Vermont
FairPoint Communications Inc. will eliminate about 90 positions across Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont over the next several months.
The company is unable to say yet how many jobs will be cut in each state, in accordance with its collective bargaining agreement with unionized workers.
These reductions are in addition to cuts last month of 30 management positions across the company.
"We are adjusting our work force to remain competitive in our market and to further position FairPoint for success," said Greg Castle, executive vice president of human resources.
FairPoint expects the reductions to result in annualized operating expense savings of $11 million, with the full benefit realized in 2014.
The company expects to provide severance or incentive payments to eligible affected employees. The total amount of such payments is expected to be $5 million to $8 million.
FairPoint has about 3,300 employees across 17 states.
Auburn man to serve as president of AARP in Maine
A retired business consultant who lives in Auburn will serve as AARP's Maine state president.
The seniors' issues organization says Rich Livingston was chosen following a statewide search. In the volunteer role, Livingston will lead and speak for hundreds of volunteers and more than 230,000 AARP members in Maine.
The state president works in collaboration with the state director to advance AARP's mission and priorities in the state.
PC sales plunge blamed in part on Windows 8
Global shipments of PCs fell 14 percent in the first three months this year, the sharpest plunge since research firm IDC started tracking the industry in 1994.
The firm said Wednesday that the appeal of tablets and smartphones is pulling money away from PCs, but it also blames Microsoft's latest version of Windows, which has a new look and forces users to learn new ways to control their machines.
Microsoft launched Windows 8 on Oct. 26.
"Unfortunately, it seems clear that the Windows 8 launch not only didn't provide a positive boost to the PC market, but appears to have slowed the market," IDC Vice President Bob O'Donnell said.
CarMax Inc. sees profit rise 13% in fourth quarter
Used car dealership chain CarMax Inc. said Wednesday its fourth-quarter profit increased 13 percent as improved inventory and financing offers drove up sales.
The Richmond, Va., company, which runs more than 115 stores in 59 markets that mainly sell used cars and trucks, reported earnings of $107.2 million, or 46 cents per share, for the three-month period ended Feb. 28, compared with from $95 million, or 41 cents per share, a year ago.
Revenue grew 13 percent to $2.83 billion.

SACRAMENTO (AP) — Sim Bhullar became the first player of Indian descent to sign a contract with an NBA team Friday, inking a deal to join the Sacramento Kings in training camp.
Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
"I've long believed that India is the next great frontier for the NBA, and adding a talented player like Sim only underscores the exponential growth basketball has experienced in that nation," said Kings owner Vivek Ranadive, the league's first Indian-born majority owner.
"While Sim is the first player of Indian descent to sign with an NBA franchise, he represents one of many that will emerge from that region as the game continues to garner more attention and generate ever-increasing passion among a new generation of Indian fans."
The 7-foot-5, 360-pound Bhullar was born in Toronto and played two seasons for New Mexico State, where he averaged 10.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks. He twice earned Western Athletic Conference tournament MVP honors and led the Aggies to back-to-back NCAA tournaments.
Undrafted this spring, Bhullar was part of the Kings team that won the NBA's summer league tournament in Las Vegas last month. He will compete for a spot in training camp behind center DeMarcus Cousins and could be a candidate to join the franchise's NBA Development League affiliate in Reno, Nevada, where he could have more time to develop his skills.

NEW ORLEANS – It was nearly déjà vu for Dallas Mavericks
point guard Jason Kidd and New Orleans Hornets point guard Jarrett Jack.
In a Mar. 9 game at New Orleans Arena last year, the Mavs were leading the Hornets, 92-90, when Jack saw one of Kidd;'s outstretched arms above him, and he managed to draw a foul on Kidd with 8.4 seconds left while attempting a three-point field goal.
Jack went to the charity stripe and sank all three free throws, and the Hornets wound up winning, 93-92.
Fast-forward to this past Saturday in the same arena, and the Mavs were clinging to an 83-80 lead when Jack again came zipping down the court and met up with Kidd – at the three-point line –
with 1.8 seconds remaining in the game. But this time before Jack could get off
a three-point attempt, Kidd intentionally fouled him, sending him to the line
to attempt a pair of free throws.
Jack converted the first free throw, missed the second one on purpose, collected the offensive rebound, but missed a potential-tying 14-footer at the buzzer which could have sent the game into overtime.
By the way, last year's Mar. 9 contest was also the game when – after it was over – coach Rick Carlisle called the Mavs "soft.'' The Mavs led the Hornets, 92-85, with 1:13 left, but got outscored
8-0 the rest of the way.

Where Did It All Go Wrong for Tim Tebow in New York?December 19, 2012
Tim Tebow should have known his tenure in New York was doomed from the start.
I mean, did he really think the Jets would give him a shot at playing quarterback?
Remember, this is the same group that called Tebow a "gimmick" quarterback in 2011 before the two teams met (h/t ESPNNewYork.com's Johnette Howard). Darrelle Revis made it clear that he didn't think Tebow could win long-term in the NFL, and the players in the locker room have never been on board with the Tebow phenomenon.
That became perfectly evident earlier this season when several unnamed players (h/t New York Daily News' Manish Mehta) bravely (scoff) slammed Tebow, calling him "terrible," with one player saying, "We don't look at him as a quarterback. He's the Wildcat guy."
And that's all he's been this year, along with a smattering of special-teams appearances.
Tebow should have known he'd never be afforded the opportunity to start for the Jets.
Personal feelings aside, the Jets gave Mark Sanchez a big extension before Tebow got traded, as Sanchez got his new deal on March 12, 2012, and Tebow was traded to the Jets on March 22, 2012.
They gave Sanchez over $20 million in guaranteed money before Tebow got traded, and his contract made him the seventh-highest-paid quarterback in the NFL (h/t ESPNNewYork.com's Rich Cimini).
And in another "Here's your sign" moment, the Jets asked Tebow to bulk up to about 250 pounds when they traded for him (h/t ESPNNewYork.com's Rich Cimini) so that he could handle the pounding he'd be taking from all the carries they planned on giving him.
Tebow never had a chance.
The coup de grâce for Tebow as a Jets player came after Week 15. Sanchez threw four interceptions against the lowly Tennessee Titans on Monday Night Football, sinking the team's last playoff hopes in the process, and we all knew Rex Ryan had to make a change.
Greg McElroy was chosen over Tebow, and none of us were surprised.
The Jets never intended to use Tebow as a quarterback. Ryan and his players have never seen him as one, and the best he'll ever be in their eyes is a glorified running back who doesn't deserve the privilege of leading their team.
How's that working out, Jets fans?
Tebow may be the most unconventional quarterback in modern NFL history, but there's no doubt he brings something special to the table. The Jets never believed in him, though, and unless he goes somewhere else where he's wanted, he'll never get a chance to shine.

This afternoon, the City of New Orleans will demolish a row of houses in the 2700 block of S. Derbigny as part of Mayor Mitch Landrieu's initiative to reduce blight. But the row of houses, across from Taylor Park, aren't just another run of overgrown lots. They appear on promotional materials, and now DVD covers, for the HBO series, "Treme."
UPDATE: David Simon's statement.
We heard back from no one. And on the day of the demolition, news coverage of this issue has implied that it was the Treme production alone — and not the preservationists themselves — who initiated a campaign against the proposed demolition, and who elected to make those properties a priority. Moreover, the mayor himself — having been only informed of our letter today, apparently — has expressed disappointment at what he feels was last-minute grandstanding. Lastly, many New Orleanians — fed a very stilted scenario in the early news accounts — have been amazingly quick to condemn a production that has aggressively committed to long-term support of a variety of local non-profit campaigns. And many have actually characterized our appeal as an attempt by some dilettante Hollywood-types to preserve some urban blight for purposes of filming and/or profit, and to do so without offering resources for the effort.
UPDATE 4/15: It seems this story has legs, as they say. Here's a comment response from both David Simon and Phyllis Montana LeBlanc (toward the bottom of the page.) And here's another link to an article which pulls David Simon's comment out to its own page.
UPDATE 4/25: A postmortem at Slate.
Here's a curated YouTube list for #Treme content. HBO says new content will be added as available.

Selena Gomez Blames Junk Food for Hospitalizationby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Selena Gomez is back on the road, performing for fans across the country and promoting her upcoming film, Monte Carlo.
But many are still wondering about the star's hospitalization last week, unsure if she was suffering from malnourishment, high blood pressure, an iron deficiency or something else.
In an interview with a Texas radio show yesterday, though, Gomez blamed the problem on her junk food habit.
"The problem is I don't eat right," she said. "I love everything that's possibly not good for me... I love M&Ms, Kit Kats, Snickers and Goobers at the movies."Fortunately, Selena's mom is stepping in to monitor her child.
"She's definitely shoving vitamins down my mouth and following me around. But at the same time, I was a stubborn kid, so I got to eat whatever I wanted. I have to have creamed spinach or cheese on my broccoli. I have to have something that makes it not healthy."
Hear that, Justin Bieber? Sounds like you'll need to keep a close eye on your girlfriend's caloric intake in the months ahead.

With computer users increasingly relying on the cloud, a group of researchers are planning on the next step – a fully cloud based operating system, TransOS.
Cloud computing has been a buzzword for some time, with many businesses utilising some form of computing 'as a service'. In fact most PC, laptop and smartphone users are likely to have made use of simple cloud storage services such as Dropbox or Sky Drive at some point.
Now researchers at Tsinghua University in Beijing are hoping that developing TransOS could persuade users to entrust their entire operating system software, which ties hardware and software applications into one interface, to the cloud.
The system would require only a minimal amount of code to enable a connection to servers hosting the OS, allowing connections from a "dummy terminal".
This would have a number of benefits, according to the researchers. For example, software would be automatically updated externally, while the hardware demands would be lower as much of the computing would be performed off-site. Processing power would not be drained by an inactive operating system either. Of course, consistent access to an internet connection would be critical for TransOS, and would require an even higher level of trust in an external service provider.
As well as performing OS functions on PCs and notebooks, the researchers claim that the system could be used to support all manner of hardware, from smartphones and tablets, to home appliances such as fridges or washing machines. However, such widespread use would require architecture and interface standards to be established.

"Over a year ago at the Fall 2005 Intel Developer Forum, Intel formally announced that they would be dropping the Pentium 4's Netburst microarchitecture in favor of a brand new, more power-efficient microarchitecture that would carry the company's entire x86 product line, from laptops up through Xeon servers, into the next decade. This past IDF saw the unveiling of some significant details about this new microarchitecture, 'Merom' or 'Core'. Intel presented many of these details in a presentation on Core, and others were obtained by David Kanter of Real World Technologies. The present article draws on both of those sources, as well as my own correspondence with Intel, to paint what is (hopefully) an accessible picture of the new microarchitecture that will soon be powering everything from Windows Vista servers to Apple laptops."

The textiles industry is one of the biggest contributors to landfill waste in both the UK and the US.
The fast fashion model that has developed within our consumerist society is promoting negative consumer behaviour across the globe. Throwaway fashion has become the norm, with customers spending minimal amounts of money on a garment that has an unbelievably short life span, meaning it will no doubt end up in the bin.
This infographic, designed by myself for Urban Times in collaboration with TextƧure, provides an insight into the statistics behind the life of a t-shirt (bare in mind that it does not include the entire apparel industry), revealing some shocking facts about the water and energy consumption during the production of a simple t-shirt. It also provides some simple yet effective ways in which everyone can help.

Hi there, are you following my tweets and the hashtag #ztsm? I only ask because I've been sharing some really great information about how to have an awesome blog, and I don't want you to miss anything. Lately, I'm noticing a trend that you need to know about. (more…)
I'm not into fear at all, as a matter of fact – I know we're told NOT to fear more times than anything else all through scripture. Fear is insidious because it starts very small – a word or an idea, a pain or a look, a misunderstanding – and becomes real barriers to personal and business growth.
You guys really rock, you know it?
I get so interested in your dreams and ambitions. When they turn from a vision to a dream to a tangible idea to a refined product or service – I just go NUTS about your potential!
It's all a process, too.
The hardest fight you will ever fight in your life is the fight for the ideas and the intangible to come into reality – and the fight is in your spirit, not in Congress. (more…)
As business owners we are always looking for opportunities to promote our businesses and the products and services we provide.
Without such promotion where would we be?
Less known and less profitable, that's certain. (more…)

New York Times blog features PIN story of veterans and mixed martial arts
As part of our ongoing coverage of veterans affected by disability claim backlogs at the Department of Veterans Affairs, I've got a story up at The New York Times' At War blog this week.
"Sparring with demons, combat medic turns to martial arts" is the story of Kyle Dubay, 28, who served three tours in Iraq and struggled with the symptoms of PTSD back at home.
Click over to the Times for the full story. What was remarkable to us was the way he talked about what PTSD feels like.
From the story:
He felt the ball of fire in his chest first. Then it started to grow. "The bigger it gets," he says, "the more it pushes down into your stomach. It can make it hard to breathe. You feel it just spreading into your limbs, going down through your arms and into your fingers. Everything is so tense and so angry. You just want to scream to get rid of it."
Every guy he knew had a different threshold for the terrible stuff of war, and that was vexing to Mr. Dubay at first. It's one of the things he says he has some clarity on now. "Everybody has a different size cup. Once it's full, it's full."
The cup and the ball of fire are not the same thing, he explained: "The cup is the memories. The ball is the anger and frustration you have for those memories."
For more of Dubay's story, check out the audio slideshow. "Love, war and mixed martial arts," created by Meg Martin and Samara Freemark. We'll post more about Dubay in coming days.

Harley Bye Bye
So not the best photo but the sun was bright, the camera so so, and the nut behind the lense to hot to care if it came out super fantastic LOL.
Yes, here is the photo that marks a major deal in this life of mine. The Harley loaded on Billy's trailer headed off to Nevada. I am still kind of bummed about this. Thinking last night after they left I realized that not having a motorcycle at any particular time is not really that big of a deal. During the years I have chosen not to ride or not to own a bike for different reasons. This time though it is different, I did not choose to not be able to ride, MS choose it for me. This is the piss off!
The blow was softened because it was Billy taking it away. We share many awesome memories that envolve motorcycles. When Billy was a kid we would jump on my bike of the time and go riding. It was neat to find out that he considers those times as some of his special moments growing up. We use to ride throught the foothills and discuss the way the temperature layers worked always trying to hit the nice cool spot to pull over and enjoy the smells, fauna, and fora.
Billy truly is the only one who "gets" how hard this is. It is closing on something special we shared. Now that he is all grown up with a family of his own, he just like myself understands that riding as a passenger is not an option, we are both to hung up on image and control for that. I know, I know it is silly but hey I am being honest. My partner does not get it really – gets that I love to ride and the frustration of not being able to do so – but to says it is only a piece of machinery that no one here is using.
Part of me hopes that he does not end up having to sell the bike to raise some bucks (we shall know at the end of the month) so he can enjoy the ride. The other part of me hope he does sell it because he has two kids under 18 and I have turned into a nerdy old fart that worries about the dangers. Hypocritical as it sounds what is good for me is not good for those I worry about and love – LOL.

LOCKUP was an installation, performance and interactive narrative in Virtual Reality that explores the realm of possibilities open to us when we alter life courses through important decision making. Using a transgressive story line, the user is dispatched into a criminal world where their fate can be determined by the choices made throughout the piece.
An immersive experience is achieved via physical interaction with virtual and real objects and an intellectual and emotional connection to the characters and plight of the user's survival. Two virtual performers in the CAVE? with the user interact as "good-cop/bad-cop" providing guidance and encouragement.
The artwork was originally designed to take advantage of the physical installation space by actually locking the user into the CAVE? Virtual Reality Theater behind metal bar doors. The user would be forced to wear an enhanced straitjacket that contains temperature, heart rate and vibration input and output sensors. There would be surveillance video cameras that watch the user and the audience and incorporate and recontextualize these images back into the artwork.
Special thanks to Dan Sandin, Dave Pape, Alan Millman and UIC's Electronic Visualization Laboratory to help make this work possible.

Heather is pretty much the BEST. She's my friend from high school and she has a suuuuuper great etsy shop and cute blog. I love that she's always posting tutorials and DIY projects. It makes me realize how terrible I am at anything that involves talent or skill.
"I began sewing about five years ago. After graduation I got a job as an intern in a theatre. One of my first assignments was to assist the costume designer in an upcoming production. I was psyched and had a ton of ideas- and questions. During our first meeting I asked where we took the costumes to be altered. She looked at me and said, "Well you'll do that of course." I admitted that I had no idea how to sew. She looked very taken aback and sputtered, "But.. you're a woman!" I couldn't believe my ears.. was she for real? That night I went to my in laws for dinner and ranted about how my cool job was suddenly not so great after all. That Christmas my mother-in-law gave me a sewing machine as a joke. And one snowy weekend I decided to pull the thing out and see if I could figure it out..."

Ensign Flandry
The late Poul Anderson, who died in 2001, was one of the giants of science fiction and winner of 7 Hugo Awards, the field's highest honor. ENSIGN FLANDRY is a classic character in the history of science fiction. This definitive omnibus of three Flandry adventures will delight Anderson's legion of fans and continue the ibooks program of important works of science fiction as begun with its ZELAZNY, BESTER, and SILVERBERG reissues.
After the first flowering of the Terran Empire, which has grown increasingly decadent and corrupt, other civilizations in the galaxy threaten to take over the Terran's worlds. In this scenario steps the debonair, tough and pessimistic Dominic Flandry, half-Hans Solo, half-James Bond and a hero for the ages!

A Project on Cycloids
Date: 01/16/99 at 19:36:59 From: Jenny Subject: Cycloids and their formulas Hi, My math class was assigned to research and write a math fair project. I chose to do cycloids, something I knew nothing about and thought I would try. However, they are confusing me. I know that the parametric formulas are x = a(theta - sin*theta) and y = a(1 - cos*theta), where (a) is the radius of the circle that is rolling on the straight line. I read that theta is the variable angle through which the circle rolls, but how can I find theta? Can I substitute all the values from 0 to 2pi as degree measures in? Now, how is this formula used and what does it figure out? Would it find all of the points on a cycloid? If I used any value for (a), would the values of x and y give me the coordinated to graph the cycloid? Also, does this equation have anything to do with time? Also, for one cusp of the cycloid to be drawn, theta would take the angle measures of 0-360 degrees. Thanks.
Date: 01/17/99 at 06:25:48 From: Doctor Jaime Subject: Re: Cycloids and their formulas Hello Jenny, For each value of theta that you choose, you get a point (x,y) of the cycloid. But you must be aware that if you are taking degrees, you get a complete cycloid when x goes from 0 to 360*a units, and if you choose radians you get a complete cycloid when x goes from 0 to 2pi*a units. Yes, if you take for theta the values from 0 to 2pi when computing cos and sin in radians, you get a complete cycloid, and if you give values for theta higher than 2pi you get more cycloids (and the same for negative values of theta). You can also use degrees, but then the cycloid will occupy the space when x goes from 0 to 360*a and other intervals with equal length. Note that for each value of a, you get a cycloid with different size. The cycloid is related to time in interesting ways. First, it is a Brachistochrone, that is a curve of descent in minimum time. It also has the tautochrone property; that is, the property that a particle P sliding on a cycloid will exhibit simple harmonic motion and the period will be independent of the starting point. Note that to draw the cusp of a cycloid, you must label the graph in this case with 0-360 intervals. At these sites you can find information on the cycloid, including its history: the MacTutor History of Mathematics Archives: http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/history/Curves/Cycloid.html from Xah Lee: http://www.best.com/~xah/SpecialPlaneCurves_dir/Cycloid_dir/cycloid.html from the University of Melbourne's School of Physics http://www.ph.unimelb.edu.au/lecdem/mg3.htm from Alexander Bogomolny: http://www.cut-the-knot.org/pythagoras/cycloids.shtml Hope this helps. - Doctor Jaime, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

Not too sure how reliable of a source US Magazine is sometimes, but they're reporting star of The New Girl Zooey Deschanel is calling it quits with hubby Ben Gibbard after only 2 years of marriage. It's kind of ironic her new show is about a young single woman trying to start over after a pretty nasty break-up.
This comes just one day after another gorgeous brunette, Kim Kardashian announces her split with Kris Humphries. Now, I'm sure Zooey and Ben had a real relationship, you know, one that wasn't forced upon by executive producers, so the two must be in distraught right now.
Zooey and Ben got married in Seattle of '09 and are now going through what sources call a "mutual and amicable" divorce.
It's a real shame to see real marriages like these cut short. When Zooey and Ben first started dating, everyone expected them to last forever because they're both quirky, have great taste in music (he leads Death Cab For Cutie, she fronts She and Him) and are great conversationalists, among many other reasons. They were a pretty private couple, so I don't expect them to hold press conferences or write tell-all books — coughcough Kim Kardashian coughcough — about this heartbreaking ordeal.
Remember, when one marriage fails, a drunken rebound is just around the corner. And we'll be there to report all about it.

|Screen capture from Leigh Chapple's last show on CTV Ottawa on May 4, 2012.
On May 4, Ottawa's "Queen of late night tv" (as Max Keeping calls her) anchored her final broadcast on CTV Ottawa. Here's what happened:
- Last time for voiceover guy to say, "CTV news with Leigh Chapple".
- Leigh's last lead story: 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup announcement
- First mention of Chapple's final broadcast - she teases "embarassing photos" and "final words on the subject" a little later, then reads the winning lottery numbers
- J.J. Clarke does the weather and predicts "it's gonna be nice" tomorrow.
- Sports anchor Carolyn Waldo turns to Chapple and says, "Countdown minutes are ticking away Leigh!"
- During the commercial break, @VanessaLeeCTV tweets: " @CTVLeigh just said she has to keep it together for the next 10 mins or so..."
- Chapple reports the that the average price of gas tomorrow will be 125.3 cents/litre. "We'll be right back."
- During the commercial, I check the other channels. Anderson Cooper is walking onto Letterman, and Leno is playing some kind of Latin wheel of fortune game. (Chapple has had higher ratings than Letterman and Leno for years, according to Max Keeping.)
- We're back! Carolyn Waldo intros Michael O'Byrne piece on Leigh Chapple ... lots of great vintage video. (You can watch it here.)
- John Ruttle (I think): "No-one's has been on local television longer than Leigh Chapple."
- J.J. Clarke: "Go to bed with Leigh Chapple and wake up with Michael O'Byrne."
- Carol Anne Meehan: "She's pulled a long, hard shift for many, many years and she's done it with grace..."
- Big hug between Carolyn Waldo & Leigh Chapple
- "My advice to you, get rid of all those bad hair photos before you retire," says Chapple. "We'll be back in just a moment and I'll have a few final words."
- Back from commercial with Chapple's final words.
- "Well, it's true, like the last penny being minted today, this is my final broadcast."
- "When I started in this business, so many years ago, there weren't many women in Canadian newsrooms, certainly not many that were on air and I was lucky that Max Keeping took a chance, hiring me as his personal assistant until a reporting job in the newsroom became open."
- "I tried to ... draw attention to and support local outreach organizations.... the people in the Ottawa region truly care... it's a big reason why I love this city, I call it home, and I have never wanted to live anywhere else."
- "Thank you for welcoming me into your homes, for in a sense to tuck you in at night with assurances of a better tomorrow. For the very last time, I just want to say to you from all of us on the Nightside, thank you for watching. Good night, good morning and goodbye. Thank you."
- Big cheers heard from off-camera inside the studio, and another hug from Waldo who says "...and you pulled it off too!"

A recently conducted survey has shed light on the wackiest sex secrets of people around the globe
The global survey discovered that on average, British men have 17 notches on their bedpost while the ladies of Blighty have bedded about 10 men.
That's more than the Dutch, whose men have slept with 12 partners and women have slept with six, but fewer than the Greeks whose men reckon they have bedded 30 partners.
The research also reveals that a third of people from Britain have tried vibrators and sex toys compared to just 27 percent of Irish, a quarter of Portuguese and 14 percent of Chinese.
Having a threesome is their biggest fantasy with 14 percent of Brits admitting they'd like to juggle two lovers in the sack. But the survey also reveals some sobering results: one in two Brits will risk STIs and unplanned pregnancy by not using a condom during sex with a new partner.
Young people in the US (40 percent and France (35 percent were less likely to use a condom, while those in Greece (66 percent), Thailand (65 percent) and South Korea (65 percent) were more diligent.
However, when it comes to trying something new in the bedroom, lovers from Britain are among the most adventurous in the world. They use more vibrators than the French, more lubricant than the Germans and more sex toys than the Irish.
What's more, while most of them are faithful when they we settle down in a relationship, they certainly take their time finding "the one".
"When it comes to sex Brits love a bit of frisky fun and are keen to try something new," a major newspaper quoted the representative of a major condom brand as saying.
"However it's not all good news: too many Brits are exposing themselves to the risk of STIs. National Condom Week gives us the chance to ensure safer sex is at the forefront of everyone's minds," he added.
14 percent people from Hong Kong want to try bondage and S and M while 10 percent wish oral sex was a bigger part of their sex lives, South African men have slept with 33 partners, women just nine.
They are the most likely in the world to talk about sex with their partner (51 percent) and 20 percent want role play to be a bigger part of foreplay.

For family members or friends of people who are addicted, we often wonder if they will ever change.
We worry.
We lose sleep.
We wish we had answers or effective words or more powerful love.
What it will take for them to finally be ready?
How much more will they have to lose?
How many more injuries can they sustain? Hasn't it been enough yet?
What if it is never enough?
But I know better. Endless worrying won't make any difference.
That pressure to change can be crippling. To hear the desires and concerns of people who have pure intentions, who are not motivated by anything other than the bond of love. While their expectations are heard, (and it would be perfect if they inspired people to change), most of the time it only stirs up anger toward self, and toxic shame. I can remember scrutinizing myself relentlessly after a plea from a family member. For fuck's sake, the way I viewed myself was about all of the criticism that I could handle, and when I was hounded with inquisitions concerning my life choices, I just wanted to evaporate. I didn't want to think about how many people I had hurt or let down.
I hit my personal bottom a few different times just to be safe. But I was tired and as motivated as I would ever be, to take the jump.
But having the motivation or feeling inspired to change varies with every single person. Everyone has a place that might look like a bottom to everyone else, but it doesn't feel like it's deep enough for the person who is using. Then on the other hand, not everyone has to hit a bottom. The hard and unfortunate truth is, some of us make it and some of us don't. I am not sure we can pinpoint a definitive answer for why this happens.
Maybe it is just a combination of things. My personal opinion is that it is a mixture of a person's psychological and biological make-up & development, whether or not there is a consistent and solid support system in place,and also whether or not the system in some cases (doctors, insurance etc) drops the ball during any phase of recovery attempt.
Yet, sometimes all of those things are happening, and moving and turning and the wheels are spinning and things are working and it still doesn't change the outcome. It is baffling to me. Why is it that some of us hit bottom and change. We feel motivated or inspired, we take the jump, and somehow we accumulate time and we make it to tell the story. And then, some people who are motivated and inspired who have hit bottom and want change so badly, they don't make it.
In life I have learned that there are simply some answers we don't get the privilege of knowing. Sometimes there just aren't clear-cut answers. It can be frustrating and it feels like we should know more and do more and be more for other people. But we can only do so much.
I am just going to focus on asking myself how I can best help people to stay motivated.
How can I help another person to keep progressing as time passes after they get to the point where they are willing and open to making changes?
How can I be of service to them as long as they are wiling and active participants in their recovery?
Maybe the best answer for me right now is to stay motivated. To keep doing my tiny part in this huge thing.
