Extension issues
I've got to reinstall over 90 extensions because just 1 of yours didn't uninstall properly?
The file being referenced in the original error message is not in the directory where it said it was. Can that file be copied there or is there some other solution that won't take all day?
This is not a good situation and is making me very angry and unhappy. I've wasted most of my day already on a problem caused by your software.

Originating in Szechuan/China, this is certainly the most cold hardy of all
cycads. It will take severe frosts, and is tolerant of damp and wet as well
as drought conditions. It is very fast and easy to grow, and, with heavy fertilizing, will produce three flushes of
dark green to bluish leaves per year, and grow up to an incredible 60 cm (24 in.) of trunk in just five years from
seed. It is THE cycad for outdoor use in cool climates and we are delighted to be able to offer it in quantity at
long last.
... are very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout. soak fresh seeds from RPS overnight in warm 28ºc, by morning half of the were germinating, within a week those were in individual pots, and the rest was also germinating. very easy and rewarding even to a newbie. Fast growing seedligs too. Submitted on 06/06/2010 by one of our visitors
... are easy to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout. I have grown many species of cycad from seed, but I have to say this was one of the easiest and fastest to germinate. I use coarse sterilised perlite, that has been dampened by warm water. The seeds of this species are relatively small compared to some other species, however I sow all in the same way by placing the seed longways so that half is exposed and the other half is buried in the perlite. I generally bury the wider end, where the root will emerge from, in the perlite. I find this works best for faster germinating species, as this ensures that the micropyle area remains damp and does not dry out for any length of time, as this could kill a germinating seed. It is essential to ensure that the perlite is coarse and allows air movement between the particles to prevent the micropyle from rotting due to excessive wetness. I place my seeds in a heated propagator with a temperature of 25-30c, and mist the seed gently with warm water once or twice a week. I open the vents on the propagator on a regular basis to remove excess moisture and allow better air circulation. After a month, I regularly check the micropyle area, and when germination is noticed, pot on into a deep pot filled with extremely free draining gritty compost, such as that used to grow cacti and succulents. A deep pot is required to allow space for the root which will rapidly grow downwards. I have had great success with this method. The key points are to keep warm and moist, but not wet during germination, and to allow air circulation and prevent stagnation in the germination environment to prevent rotting. Cycads may be slower germinating than some seeds, but when they do, they are some of the most beautiful and fascinating plants to watch develop, and Cycas panzhihuaensis is the fastest I've seen and a definite recommendation for beginners to this fascinating and ancient group of plants.

... are very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout. Hi there, i bought 10 seeds of this species, Living in british columbia canada, i didn't soak my seeds first as they looked pretty healthy (ie, not overly dry or hard looking) sowed about 3/4 depth into an orchid mix i purchased from a local garden store (charcoal, pine bark and some proprietary nutrient) mixed with about 2 handfuls of Canadian peat per bag. put into individual pods in a seed tray with a clear dome lid and placed in a sunny window spot (more for warmth than light) after about two weeks i saw my first cracks on the first couple, and now after about 5 weeks of waiting each seed has a thick green tap coming from the seed and a small 1cm vertical shoot, 100% germination in late April in western Canada, great seeds, great shipping, thanks alot! will give growing info later Submitted on 08/06/2008 by one of our visitors
... are very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
Soak for 3 days then sow half-buried in moist vermiculite, with the smooth part uppermost, and the notched end buried. Place on a heatmat at approx 30 degrees celcius. When the seed coat splits, simply pot into a 50:50 mix of compost:perlite with the split end facing down half buried. Keep the pots in heat. Some may split without the embryo developing, but most will send out a radicle within a few days. Expect to see the first leaf shoot within one month. Place in good light once the first frond starts to unfurl. 75% success rate achieved with fresh seed purchased from RPS. Great quality seeds - thanks Toby!

I found this species to be one of the fastest cycad species to germinate of those that I have tried. After soaking for three days and then placing in a bag of slightly moist perlite, within three weeks 70% of the seeds had germinated and have been planted into individual pots.

... are easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
When I received the seeds they all rattled but soaking them in water rehydrated them very quickly and I had only very few floaters and rattlers after 2 days. However not all sinkers were healthy inside and about 30% of the "good" seeds were leaking brown, smelly liquid after being sown into perlite. They seem to be prone to rotting (or perhaps drying out and rotting when rehydrated). Get rid of those leaky ones as soon as possible as they attract flies. The rest of the seeds germinated very quickly at room temperature and I had about 50% germination after 3 weeks. The subsequent growth was amazing and even the first leaves which formed 1 month after germination had beautiful blueish colouration.

I couldn't believe how quick these were. I had just three seeds, which I potted in 150mm/6" pots each with different media with no pre-soaking. I placed the pots inside a large, clear airtight container with gravel and water in the bottom to help maintain humidity. The container was put inside my polytunnel and kept at 30°C/86°F day and 24°C/75°F night (+/- 2°C/4°F). Within a couple of weeks I could see the first leaf of all three.

I sowed three seeds into one gallon pots with no pre-soaking. One in perlite, one in coco peat and the other in normal compost. Each pot was watered until water came out of the drainage holes, then each pot was placed in a large, clear storage container, part filled with gravel and water, inside my heated polytunnel at 24/30°C night/day. They each germinated within a week and the first leaf on each was shooting up within two weeks.

I bought 200 seeds recently from Toby, and soaked them for around a day in warm water until they had ceased rattling. Moved them into plastic containers nestled into some perlite at around 25c. About 10% had germinated within the first week, 20% by the 2nd week, and then about 5 more per day since. After less than a month I have over 100 with long radicles in deep communal pots and are still seeing seeds crack open every day. Great seeds Toby, thanks.

... are difficult to germinate and need up to 1 year to sprout.
I sowed 5 seeds in pure vermiculite, scarcely moist, sealed them in a screw-top jar and kept them at approx. 30¼C in a central heating cupboard. One germinated within about a month, was potted up immediately and, approx. 6-8 months later, after filling the pot with roots, has finally shown a bit of top growth, although no fronds as yet. One seed rotted off after 3 months. Another seed rotted off after 6 months. Two seeds swelled and split their sarcotestae, but have not produced radicles after nearly 8 months and are probably moribund.

Sowed 5 seeds in March in moist vermiculite in a sealed container, kept at approx. 30º C. (85º F.)
in a heating cupboard. One seed germinated within a month and, 5 months after being potted up, the first seed
has just started producing top growth. Two seeds rotted after 2-3 months. The remaining two seeds started to
germinate after 3 months and then stalled without producing a radicle. I suspect that this is because the heating
was off for the Summer. Within 2 weeks of the heating being on again, both have started to show signs of progress

...very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to
Started with 10 from RarePalmSeeds. Soaked for two days in filtered water. 9 seeds sank in the water and were
viable, 1 floated and appears dead (no growth after 4 months). Placed all seeds in a moist cactus mixture in
baggies. Of the 9, 3 swelled and sent out a root immediately/ within one week. 3 more took about a month- I
lost 2 of these 3 to rot! Of the remaining 3, after several months the seed itself has swollen and shed the
hard coating. They are a healthy green, but only one has sent out the radicle. Not one of the original seeds
has sent up a leaf yet, but the roots have dug impressively into the soil. Note that all this has occurred over
winter with temps dropping into the 50's at night and the low 80's during the day. I have no additional heat
source besides artificial daylight. I am convinced that as soon as warmer temperatures arrive, the well-developed
roots will quickly send up shoots.

A few seeds were sacrificed to view the embryo development and they
were found to be very well developed and ready to germinate.The
seeds were soaked for 4 days with the water changed daily. After
2 days, about 10% of the 1000 seeds split open and were then removed
from the soaking tub. The following day another 10% split and were
also removed. At the end of the 4 day soak the entire seed shipment
was placed in a greenhouse seed bed. The daytime air temp. reaching
100 degrees F and the night time in the low 80's. The seeds were
placed on the top of a pine bark, peat and sand soil mix then misted
with micro jets for two minuets daily.The seeds began to germinate
after only 1 day. At the end of 2 weeks 30% germinated and here
at the end of two months, nearly 70% has germinated. At this point
I expect to achieve a final germination rate near 90%. Subsequent
seedling growth is steady in the greenhouse environment with none
being lost to date. These are high quaility seeds at a truely bargain

Plants from this species ...
... are of excellent ornamental value
In Augusta, GA (Southeastern US) in USA they need little care and grow normal.Cycas panzhihuaensis is an excellent cycad. I have a male and a female in the ground and they have been outdoors in full sun for five years. They flush new growth early in the spring - much earlier than Cycas revoluta and a few weeks earlier than Cycas taitungensis. I have had no problems with scale insects, but my cycads are sprayed on a regular basis with insecticide just to be sure that the scale doesn't get started. C. panzhihuaensis is similar in size to C. revoluta. Last year (2008), I crossed my male panzhihuaensis with a C. revoluta x C. taitungensis female. Many seeds were produced. It remains to be seen if they will germinate (May, 2009). Submitted on 26/05/2009 by Joe Le Vert
... are of high ornamental value
In Southampton in England they need little care and grow normal.This is one of the fastest growing cycads I've cultivated from seed, with 2 leaves produced by he end of the first year alone. I grow the plant in my greenhouse, and the plant has so far taken temperatures down to 0c in its stride. I suspect that as with my Cycas revoluta, the plant may not grow so well outside in the English winter due to the damp, however I am yet to buck up the courage to try. I've had the plant for 4 years now, and it has produced ~7 leaves and now has a small trunk (~1cm) forming at the base. My specimen now resides in a position of partial shade, however has been in a position of full sun in the past with little damage. I water the plant frequently during summer, but more sparingly during winter, always conscience of the dislike of cycads to cold/wet conditions. I grow my plant in a deep terracotta pot, which captures the heat from the greenhouse and further warms the soil within the pot, whilst allowing plenty of depth for root growth. A plant that really requires very little care, apart from watering in summer and some general purpose plant food for fastest results! Submitted on 18/01/2009 by James Barnet
... are of high ornamental value
In Norrbotten in Sweden they need little care and grow slow.
One seed germinated in May 1998.I didnt know how to care .But i did the same as for my other cycads.I am living in Sweden near the arctic circle,so I have most of my cycads indoors the hole year.This cycad I later put near the window in a house whith low temperature in the winter.Sometimes near 0 or under.(celcius).I did not give any water in many months.One time all fronds faded.I thought the plant was dead.But in the spring I gave it water and new fronds grew up.The fronds is about 80 cm long.The soil is sandy.Like cactus soil.I do not give much water. Now in the end of 2005 the plant is still living.I recommend this species.

Produced in a numbered edition, as indicated by the plate located on the upper steering yoke, the Moto Guzzi V7 III Cafe Racer is not only the most sporty of the range, but also the one with the most prestigious parts. This backs Moto Guzzi's ability to continuously create true customs directly from the factory.
There are numerous technical and aesthetic differences that distinguish it from the previous version and from the other V7 III models.
As for the stylistic aspects, the V7 III Cafe Racer introduces a new graphic for the satin finish chromium fuel tank where the red eagle is prominently displayed. This feature is reminiscent of the "Rosso Corsa" colour chosen to paint the frame and the swingarm: an explicit reminder of the first 1971 V7 Sport series, nicknamed "red frame."
The V7 III Cafe Racer's sporty nature is emphasized by its semi-handlebars and its splendid, humped seat. In accordance with tradition, the Racer has a single-seater sport bike look, but in reality, this new version is approved for two-up riding. In fact, it has passenger foot pegs and, as before, the seat cover can be easily removed when necessary.
One of the most distinctive features of this "factory special" worth mentioning is the widespread use of anodized black aluminium. This hand-crafted treatment, which requires superb artisan skill, characterizes the new side panels and the throttle body guards, whereas the new front number plate is made of brushed aluminium.
Maximum power has increased to 52 horsepower at 6200 rpm, 44.2 ft/lbs of torque at 4900 rpm, with a truly flat torque curve that promise ease of use combined, as always, with that typical character and quick response of a Moto Guzzi engine.
Other new style elements on the V7 III Cafe Racer are:
- Newly design injector covers
- Sleeker side fairings
- New saddle
- New Turn Signals
- 1.5" Wider Mirrors for increased visibility
- New Instrumentation: (analog speedometer along with digital display odometer, partial and daily trip (resets automatically eight hours after being switched off), trip time, instantaneous and average consumption, air temperature, average speed, MGCT level, and gear indicator)

There's an old Turkish maritime expression that says it takes two captains to sink a ship. So it was God speed for HMAS Darwin on her final journey home to Sydney today; she had 14 skippers on board, plus the real one.
But rest assured, there was only one skipper with his hand on the tiller; the other 13 were former Commanding Officers, invited back on board, for that final sea leg home to Fleet Base East at Garden Island, to mark the last voyage of the Darwin. After 33 years of service to the nation, HMAS Darwin will be decommissioned next month.
In the early 80s, the American-built frigate was at the cutting edge of navy warfare, her Harpoon missiles ready to lance any threat. And over that 33 years, more than 3,500 personnel, along with her 21 Commanding Officers, have served in theatres of operation such as East Timor, the Solomon Islands, and the Persian Gulf.
In 2016, Darwin would intercept close to a tonne of narcotics around the Horn of Africa, along with hundreds of automatic rifles, possible future currency for terror-related activities. But she has also served to build strong military ties with nations throughout the Asian archipelago.
For her former captains, it was a trip down the nautical time tunnel. High end electronic gear has been updated for 21st Century warfare, but the hardware that drives the Darwin has remained the same since her first duties in 1984.
Today, Darwin would be met by the newest ship in the fleet, the destroyer HMAS Hobart, both ships at either end of the navy's warfare spectrum.
A Navy helicopter flew several passes over the ship tailing the White Ensign, the Darwin herself touring the 139-metre long white pennant, hung from balloons, signifying that this is her last mission and that decommissioning will be her fate.
Other Navy ships in the Harbour would have their crews man the decks to salute, a seven shot salute from the decks of the Darwin, answered in turn by a sister cannon at Garden Island. And when she docked, it would be bittersweet for her crew, but not so the excited family and relatives waiting dockside.
The destiny of Darwin remains unknown; she could be sold for scrap, or sold to another country, maybe even ending up as an artificial reef. The last version of HMAS Adelaide met that fate off the NSW Central Coast, and has become a major diving site since.
But whatever her fate, the friendships forged by those who served on Darwin for more than three decades, will undoubtedly last far longer.

Where were the regulators in the Madoff mess? How was he able to operate a fraudulent business for so long? As a former advisor, registered as such with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), I am absolutely astonished at the lack of oversight by the commission. Every registered investment advisor is expected to operate a compliant business, and the SEC staff periodically does surprise audits to ensure that they do. What's more, every audit I am aware of has always resulted in some "findings", where the advisor is deemed to be in violation with one or more of the rules or procedures, and at the very least, must demonstrate how the business will be reorganized to ensure it will not happen again. And these are legitimate businesses who for the most part are guilty of only minor infractions.
Occasionally an audit will uncover an unsavory practice of some kind that usually falls into the category of charging too much and delivering too little. But the cases where there is out-and-out fraud are rare.
In Madoff's case, it appears that there were allegations of fraud that covered more than a 10 year period! One guy was an expert in the type of strategy Madoff seemed to have had so much success with, and he sent information to the SEC to prove that there was not enough option volume on the entire exchange to support the Madoff strategy. They ignored it, or they buried it, or they just let it die from inattention. I look forward to the congressional hearings where the SEC is grilled about this utter lack of diligence and ineptitude.
And there were other red flags, such as the fact that he apparently was paid commissions on trades, and he had an extremely high number of trades. Talk about a glaring conflict of interest! Madoff also had custody of client funds. Custody is an industry term that means that he went beyond just directing trades – he held things in a way that would have allowed him to actually divert money out of client accounts and into his own. The regulators take custody very seriously. Among other things, they require audited financial statements from every advisor who has custody. Presumably these financials were among the documents he submitted to the SEC that will ultimately prove to be fraudulent too. Did they look at them? Did they make any calls about them? Did they audit the auditors?
How could the SEC examiners be so incompetent?
I happen to believe that there is a huge danger in every bureaucracy. Once it becomes too entrenched, it's chief aim becomes the preservation and perpetuation of itself. I wonder if the SEC examiners actually got out of their chairs, went to visit any actual people, and actually did any investigative work. I wonder whether they have any reason to exist at all!
What if we slashed the staff of the SEC to a tiny fraction of its current size, and used the money to pay bounty hunters, who, armed with the best technology, unencumbered by a bureaucratic organization, and motivated by a big payday, would root out real fraud and corruption?
Sadly, what is much more likely is that we will pass new laws and create new bureaucracies. We will burden the taxpayers with the cost of running the new bureaucracy, and it will ultimately fail just as miserably to protect our interests.
This time, instead of hollering "There outta be a law!", we should insist that our regulators be more highly motivated to do the job of compliance with the laws we already have! And motivation has always been at the root of the problem. When regulators have no incentive to swim against the tide, and every incentive to go with the flow, how should we expect them to behave? When they have every incentive to hamstring advisors who want to run clean shops and no incentive to get up off their rear ends and actually go out and root out some crooks, why should we expect them to do anything constructive at all?
It's time to hold the regulators accountable, too. Maybe we even need to have someone auditing them!

September 9th-16th, 2013
hey guys,
hey the hurricane definitly hit hard down here. it rained pretty hard the second half of the week. we got pretty soaked but still kept working. this week i went out to ciudad isla to work with the elders. it`s like two and a half hours away from here and the only way to get there is on a bumpy dirt road. but the elderes are doing good out there and it was nice to be with them. out there in isla they grow a ton of pineapple and that was really cool to see as well. this week are the cambios, my comp is going to the offices as assitent, and my new comp is going to be elder aragon from chihuahua. i already know him, he`s a really funny guy and i`m sure we`ll get a long and work good together. i have been lucky on my mission and have had really good companions.
we have been having really good lessons lately, really spiritual because we are starting to teach the lessons how they should be taught cause we are not in such a hurry cause they have to go to church so many times before their baptism. this week we found some good investigatores and taught them well but only three went to church. we are working with the converts but it is hard cause sometimes they are just really lazy. we are also getting a long better with the sister missionaries in our branch, which is good. this weekend was the mexican independence day and the ward put on a pretty crappy activity haha but the food was good and we got some references out of it. that we just passed to the sisters so they could have some work. also everyone tells me that i look like the mexican boxer, canelo, that just lost to mayweather
on saturday

With so much to offer, it is nearly impossible to narrow down this list to just ten. I've rewritten it countless times and debated with myself over why each item deserves to be on the list. For starters, no touristy places — they are easy enough to find in any tourist guide. And I avoided adding the major districts, like Shibuya or Akihabara.
Some items where chosen for cultural or historical value. Some for that "only in Tokyo" experience. Some for the discovery factor because isn't traveling about finding something new and different? My hope is that if you do any of the things on this list (or maybe even all!) it will be the highlight of your trip to Tokyo!
1. Antique Market
The best place for finding Japanese odds and ends are the temple markets. On Sundays, try Yasukuni Shrine near the Imperial Palace or Hanazono Shrine in Shinjuku. The largest regular antique market is the Oedo antique market held on the first and third Sundays of every month at the Tokyo International Forum and once a month at Yoyogi Park (canceled in case of rain).
2. Shimokitazawa
Shimokitazawa is a pocket neighborhood that is one of the best places to wander around in Tokyo. It is known for its indie vibe with plenty of used clothing stores, record shops, cafes and much more. At night you can check out the underground rock scene at one of the many live houses in Shimokitazawa. Easily reached from either Shinjuku (Odakyu line) or Shibuya (Keio Inokashira line).
3. Seven Lucky Gods
The seven lucky gods (Shichi Fukujin) are dealers of good fortune, health and happiness. You can take a mini-pilgrimage to seven shrines and temples to receive their blessings and collect a stamp (goshuin) at each one. There are a number of courses in and around Tokyo. Try going to the Tourist Information Center in Asakusa and pick up a Shichi Fukujin map in English. The Asakusa course has nine stops instead of seven and is about 10km long! But it also takes you through Kappabashi, aka Kitchen Street.
4. 2k540 Aki-Oka Artisan
This is one of the most unique shopping malls in Tokyo. For starters, it's like an urban cathedral located under the train tracks. Furthermore, the shops feature mainly craftsmen-made products. 2k540 Aki-Oka Artisan is the perfect place to find high quality made in Japan gifts. Afterwards, it's a short walk to Ameyokocho shopping street in Ueno.
5. Architecture Park
If you love old houses there are actually two places just outside Tokyo where traditional Japanese buildings have been relocated for preservation:
Japan Open-Air Folk House Museum
Edo Tokyo Open-Air Architectural Museum
Alternatively, if you only have time to see one Japanese house, just one stop from Shibuya you can visit the Kyu Asakura House in Daikanyama.
6. War Museum
Since the museum is dedicated to Japan's military past, it's not promoted in the tourist guides. But for history buffs, the Yushukan Museum is a must-see and it's one of the few museums where everything is in English. The museum is located on the grounds of Yasukuni Shrine.
7. Nakano Broadway
You know all the cool stuff your mom threw away when you were a kid? It ended up here–if you were a Japanese kid that is. The upper floors of this mall have been taken over by pop culture collectors. You can find old anime collectibles, old robot toys, old movie posters, old–well you get the picture. After window shopping, grab a bite in the alley that runs parallel to the mall.
8. Maid Cafe
On the list of "offbeat Japan," the maid cafe is near the top. The staff dresses in kawaii maid outfits and the food is given a flavor boosting spell when served. While most maid cafes can be found in Akihabara, try MaiDreamin in Shibuya where after 8pm you can order an idol dance show!
9. Run the Imperial Palace
The best running course in Tokyo is a 5 kilometer loop around the Imperial Palace. You won't have to worry about car traffic or waiting at any pesky crossing signals plus you can enjoy the beautiful views of the old castle moat that surrounds the palace grounds.
10. Sento – traditional bath house
The sento is losing out to modernity, but Tokyo-ites can still take a communal dip at one of the surviving bath houses. If you don't get a chance to get out to the countryside for a visit to an onsen, or hot spring, then a sento is a must-do in Tokyo.

When Ruth Brewer's phone rang a couple of weeks ago, she thought it was her son Brian on the line — a call that kickstarted a harrowing experience that had her scrambling for cash.
"I answered the call and it was, 'Mom, Mom, I've had an accident,' and I said, 'Where are you?' And then it was, 'Constable Jonathan wants to speak with you," said the 70-year-old Corner Brook resident.
"It sounded to me like Brian, and Brian was upset."
Brewer said there was crackling noise on the line — like it was a cellphone and he was travelling on the highway.
Another man pretending to be a police officer told Brewer her son had a fender bender and he was in touch with a lawyer who would soon give her a call.
Minutes later the lawyer called and told her Brian had been texting while driving when the accident happened, and that a judge said everything would be dropped, if the $4,000 fine was paid.
"What was going through my mind is, 'Okay, I'll write a cheque and take it down to the court."
The scammers didn't want a cheque, they wanted $4,000 worth of prepaid debit cards for Steam —an online gaming system — that the fictitious judge would then donate to an after-school program to be used for educational purposes.
"I didn't know the difference, I'd never heard of Steam cards. He said, 'We'd never ask for a credit card,'" Brewer recounted.
Store clerk raised the red flag
Brewer went to the closest store and asked if she could buy $4,000 worth of Steam cards. The clerk immediately told her it was a scam, and they only sell $200 worth at a time.
"I said, 'No, this call wasn't a scam, I was talking to my son, and I was talking to the policeman and I was talking to the lawyer."
But as she was leaving the store Brewer began to wonder if it could be a scam. She went to look for her son's car at his office, called him at work, at home on his cell with no answer, before deciding to go to the police station to see if he was there.
While she was waiting for an officer, Brian called on her cellphone, confirming there was no accident.
When she got home, a person claiming to be the lawyer's assistant called.
"I said, 'This is a scam!' and he hung up," Brewer said.
Brewer said she feels gullible for falling for it, and she has learned to be very cautious with callers in the future.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary told CBC News Tuesday it has received one other complaint that is similar to Brewer's experience. Police are reminding people not to provide compensation by way of gifts cards, e-transfer or wire transfer to someone they don't know.

This didn't particularly hit me until I was disturbed at 4am by a fly crawling on my hand. Ironically, it was the dying, drowsy fly that I thought I had killed before I went to sleep. When I had swatted it from the wall with a magazine it must have fallen onto the bed. Still half-asleep I brushed it from my hand.
Then I dreamt that Amazon actually worked by employing flies with their wings pulled off to sort information in a shoebox.
I think I heard the buzzing of the fly and awoke to find it crawling on my duvet. I flicked it onto the floor and tried to crush it with a book. Although horribly injured, the bloody thing just wouldn't die. It just kept righting itself and crawling feebly. This obviously put me in mind of Eugene hanging in his garage, the life taking forever to rattle from him. Then my thoughts turned to his son and my sons, night fears seizing me.
I suppose good drama provokes an emotional reaction. Or was it the parmesan I had on my pasta?

Give me a beat
There are purists out there who think that listening to music, podcasts, audiobooks, etc. takes too much away from the experience of running and inhibits your ability to get in "tune" with your body. There's also the safety aspect to consider. Running with music obviously hampers your ability to hear oncoming traffic...or bears.
But, I think those that take advantage of audio company far outweigh those that don't. So, for those of you who DO listen in...I thought it would be great to get the ultimate play list going.
Songs that I favor tend to be ones that I know well and can hum or sing along to or that remind of happy times. A nice thumping beat doesn't hurt either. Here is a sampling of what is on my running playlist right now:
Bruises - Chairlift
Lose Yourself - Eminem
You Make My Dreams Come True - Hall & Oates
Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard - Simon and Garfunkel
Home - Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros
Lonely Boy - The Black Keys
Callin' Baton Rouge - Garth Brooks
Rockin' the Suburbs - Ben Folds
Paper Planes - M.I.A
Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond
Sunshine - Jonathan Edwards
Faith - George Michael
Time to Pretend - MGMT
See The World - Gomez

Give it a rest already
Rest and recovery are just as important to any training plan as the workouts themselves. While some people long for their days off from exercise, some people really struggle with stepping back for a day or two. By giving yourself time away from running, you allow your body to adapt to the stress you have been putting it through and come back stronger. Failing to allow for adequate recovery can lead to disproportionate fatigue, feeling flat during all your runs, injury, or burn out.
Aside from the physical break you are giving your body, recovery days are a good mental break from endurance training. They also give you a chance to reconnect with family and friends or catch-up with things that may fall by the way side while you are focused on your running schedule. Not that I have any experience with that. I'm just guessing it might come up from time to time.
Aside from not running on rest days, there are a number of ways to enhance or speed up your recovery following your runs. They include massage, foam rolling, legs up the wall, or ice baths.
Massage – I don't think this one needs much explanation. There are a number of highly skilled licensed massage therapists on the island that can work wonders on sore muscles or trouble spots. Lately, I've been visiting Linda at Northwoods Massage and have been very happy with the results.
Foam Rolling – Foam rolling is essentially self massage. While it's not usually as effective as a full on massage by a professional, using a foam roller in a very good alternative and can be used every day. Fair warning, this is not a fun exercise. Be prepared to cry and shout profanity. This means it is working. A particular sore or painful muscle indicates that is deserves extra attention and is most likely very tight or weak. Take heart that this will become less painful as you work to eliminate knots and soften your muscle facia.
Here are a handful of links that show some good foam rolling exercise:
Legs up the wall – This is actually a restorative yoga pose that many runners and triathletes swear by. All it involves is lying on your back and sticking your legs up a wall. Stay in the pose for 1 minute for each mile you've run and try hard not to fall asleep. Oh yeah…don't get up too fast or you'll wind up back where you started.
Ice baths – Full disclosure here…these can actually be more miserable than foam rolling. I have taken ice baths. I've taken many ice baths. I have been reduced to tears by ice baths. And I will do it again. Submerging yourself in ice cold water for 15 – 20 minutes post run will do wonders for inflammation and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). But they are painful. Oh man, are they painful. I recommend having a good book, magazine or powerful narcotic to distract you while you are sitting there watching the clock until you can get out.

Getting warm...
Good article from Running Times on recent research on the best strategy for warming up before a race or long workout.
Saturday, September 15, 2012
Last cycle of training for the half!
Here is the last four weeks of training for the half marathon. The long runs in this phase are plenty long enough for you to practice your race day strategy, including what shoes and clothing you will wear and your nutrition plan.
Your long run will peak at 11 miles, but don't fret too much if you only reach 10. Don't worry about the fact that these runs still leave you shy of the 13.1 you will run on race day. Your training and tapering, along with the excitement of race day will easily carry you those extra couple of miles to the finish line.
As your weekly mileage continues to grow and reach it's peak, rest and recovery become especially important. Listen to and respect what your body is telling you and relish your rest days.
The taper week, which is week 12, is critical component of the plan. I will be posting soon about the ups and downs of the taper.

Stretch it out
Stretching ain't what it used to be. Gone are the days of standing and bouncing your way to touching your toes. There are a lot of different approaches to stretching these days, with some folks saying that it's not at all necessary. And, while I think that some people can probably get away with little or no stretching, I believe that most people can benefit from practicing an efficient stretching routine. I am an advocate of dynamic, as opposed to static stretching. This means that you stretch through movement, rather than holding your muscle in one position for a period of time. If you choose to stick with static stretching, never stretch a cold muscle! Either perform your stretching after your workout or after you've warm-up for 5 to 10 minutes. Dynamic stretching, on the other hand, can be done before or after your run.
Here is a nice pre-run dynamic stretching routine that I follow and adapted from Runner's World. Don't start too quickly. Start slow and steady, focusing on form. As your muscles get looser and the exercise get easier, you can increase the speed in which you do them.
LEG SWINGS Swing one leg out to the side, then swing it back across your body in front of your other leg. Repeat 10 times on each side. Next swing one leg front anad back. Repeat 10 times on each side. Feel wobbly? Hold onto a steady object.
BUTT KICKERS While standing tall, walk forward with an exaggerated backswing so that your heels come up to your glutes. When this is easy, try it while jogging. Do 10 reps on each side.
PIKE STRETCH Get in a "pike" position (hips in the air…like down dog). Put your right foot behind your left ankle. With your legs straight, press the heel of the left foot down. Release. Repeat 10 times on each side.
HACKY-SACK Lift your left leg up, bending the knee so it points out. Try to tap the inside of your left foot with your right hand without bending forward. Repeat 10 times on each side.
TOY SOLDIER Keeping your back and knees straight, walk forward, lifting your legs straight out in front and flexing your toes. Advance this by adding a skipping motion. Do 10 reps on each side.
WALKING LUNGES Step forward using a long stride, keeping the front knee over or just behind your toes. Lower your body by dropping your back knee toward the ground. Maintain an upright posture and keep your abdominal muscles tight.

When the going gets tough...
As your runs grow longer and the days grow shorter, struggling with motivation to get out and exercise is not uncommon. Everyone, from newbies to professional athletes, struggles with the motivation demon from time to time. A lack of motivation can keep you from even starting a run or cause you to call it quits before it's time.
Getting going and staying strong
Having trouble making it out the door or even putting on your shoes? Been there. Everyone has. And if they say they haven't, they are lying right to your face. Bold face lie. So WHEN this happens to you, try one of these handy tips.
- · Set a goal – Setting a goal and having a plan to get you there are great sources of motivation. If you are planning to run any of the events at this year's Run the Rock, you've likely got this one dialed in already. But a goal doesn't always have to be a certain race on a certain day. It can be as simple as committing to exercise three days a week or as detailed as setting a new personal best at distance you've run before. Regardless of what the goal is, write it down somewhere you can see it every day to remind yourself of what you've set out to do.
- · Run with friends – Having a set running day with friends is a surefire way to get your out the door. Chances are, you are much more likely to bail on a scheduled run if you only have yourself to answer to, but knowing someone is waiting to join you keeps you on track.
- · Buy new gear – Buying a new pair of shoes, skookum running top or hi-tech gadget can get you excited about running and give you the boost you need to reboot or kick start your training plan. Who doesn't want the town to see them running in their brand new neon green kicks?
- · Keep a record – Keeping a log or journal of you training is a great way to keep track of your progress and revisiting it when you aren't feeling the mojo can give your ego just the boost it needs by reminding you what you've already accomplished and how far you've come. They can also be really useful for identifying patterns in your training and may allow you to figure out when and why you struggle sometimes (especially true if you include your nutrition in your log!).
- · Give it 10 minutes – Ok, so you really really don't want to go for a run today. Maybe you've had a long day at work or it's raining sideways and you just don't think you can muster the energy to lace up and move out. Do it anyway. Run for 10 minutes and if at the end of those 10 minutes you still don't want to be there, give yourself permission to go home. If you opt to turn back, then clearly it wasn't in the cards for you that day and so it goes, but I'd be willing to bet that 99% of the time you will keep going with no regrets. I have regretting skipping a run on many, many occasions, but never have I said, "I wish I hadn't gone on that run."
Making it through
So you've made it out the door and have been running along just fine when suddenly (or maybe not so suddenly) you decide you don't want to be running anymore. Maybe you've gone out too hard or maybe that kindly Ram Hemi just douched you with no remorse. Whatever the reason, things have gotten tough and you're not having fun anymore. Try one of these techniques to get you home.
- · Run with friends – I know, I used this one already, but it works equally well during a run as well. The chatter and comradery of your pals will distract you from you discomfort and can also make a long run so much more entertaining.
- · Have a mantra – As cheesy and cliché as it sounds, this actually works. It turns out there actually was something to that Little Engine that Could. Having a go-to phrase, or even a single keyword, can remind you how tough you are and what you are capable of. It can be anything you want it to be as long as it works for you. Examples? "Looking good; feeling good." "I got this." "Eye of the tiger." "Just keep swimming." I think the cornier they are, they better, especially if they can also make you laugh.
- · Make small goals – This is a good way to get through the tail end of a tough run. Pick a random spot down the road…a light post, a tree, even a crack in the asphalt and tell yourself to run to that. Once you are there, pick a new spot and run to that. Keep doing this and you'll be home sooner than you think. Another technique is to count your steps. Count to 10, 50 or 100…it doesn't really matter. Pick a number, count to it and then start over. It's just another way to take our mind of what ails you.
- · Confront the pain – "Oh hello there. I was wondering when you'd show up. I have to be honest with you and tell you I was hoping I would see you today. But here you are. Now get lost and don't come back."
What I really hope is that none of you struggle with motivation at all, but if you do I hope you find some use in these tips. Above all else, remember how lucky you are. It doesn't matter how slow you run or how far you go, it is faster and farther someone sitting on the couch. Running is gift not everyone chooses to accept. Now hit the road.

Attacking the Trenches of a Disputed Development
Motorists caught in rush-hour traffic along Route 340 outside Harpers Ferry last month encountered an unusual sight. Patio torches flickered along a 1,900-foot path next to the highway but still within Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. Nearby stood a cluster of protesters, each holding a candle.
The torches marked the site and first anniversary of an illegal excavation by a consortium of developers from Jefferson County, W.Va., who dug two long trenches last year and installed water and sewer lines. They did not have a permit. They did, however, have an easement on the land granted by a former owner who had sold the 38-acre Perry Orchard tract to a preservation organization for $1.5 million in 2005. The land was then given to the National Park Service.
The holder of the easement, Jefferson Utilities, and the other developers have announced plans to build a massive residential and commercial development near the national park. The group had applied for a construction permit but had not completed the process when the excavation took place Aug. 19 and 20 of last year.
Bernard Snyder, president of Jefferson Utilities, did not return a call asking for comment. The privately owned corporation was formed in 1985 for the purpose of owning and operating a public water system in Jefferson County.
The area where the trenches were dug is part of the park's School House Ridge Battlefield, where Confederate Maj. Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson orchestrated one of the largest mass surrenders in American military history on Sept. 15, 1862. He took more than 12,000 Union soldiers prisoner, a feat described by Jackson biographer James I. Robertson Jr. as "the most complete victory in the history of the Southern Confederacy."
Although the protests of the developers' work last year at Harpers Ferry were immediate and loud, neither the Department of the Interior nor the Justice Department has taken action. At the time of the excavation, the National Park Service released a statement saying it was "actively reviewing the matter with the Department of Justice and considering options for an appropriate response."
This month, a Park Service spokesman said, "The Department of the Interior still has this matter under advisement. In addition, DOI is working to make sure that easement holders of park lands obtain the necessary permits before undertaking construction on park lands."
The speakers at the Aug. 17 candle- and torchlight vigil expressed frustration with the slow response and concern that others may see what happened as encouragement to do the same.
"What happened last summer at Perry Orchard was nothing short of the wanton destruction of one of the nation's great historic treasures," said James Lighthizer, president of the Civil War Preservation Trust. "Harpers Ferry and the 390 other units of the National Park system belong to all Americans. We are here tonight to ensure that their sanctity will always be protected from pettiness and greed."
He said members of his organization had contributed $300,000 to buy the land at Perry Orchard.
Alan Spears, legislative representative of the National Parks Conservation Association, told the crowd: "The situation here at Harpers Ferry is particularly tragic because the developers clearly knew they needed to secure permission from the park before undertaking any construction. They applied for the necessary permits but, when the waiting became inconvenient, proceeded without authorization."
Rob Nieweg, director of the Southern Field Office of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, called the vigil "a miserable anniversary."
"A year has passed, but we have not forgotten what happened on this ground," Nieweg said. "We are confident those responsible for this will be held accountable for the destruction they caused."
Scot Faulkner, president of the Friends of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, has tracked the developers' several attempts to secure approval for construction, even taking their request to two jurisdictions. When their annexation request to Charles Town was turned down, they tried unsuccessfully to get Jefferson County to approve their plans.
"Clearly, when the construction was done, these developers already had massive development plans in mind," Faulkner said. "They must have thought that already having access to water and sewer facilities would all but guarantee their proposal's success. Thankfully, first the City of Charles Town, and then Jefferson County, had the vision to reject their unnecessary and ill-fitting development."

VILLAGERS have drawn up a neighbourhood plan in a bid to protect their village from mass development.
Residents in Bishopstoke near Eastleigh have developed the plan to make sure they have a formal say on how development should be undertaken in their community.
It comes as thousands of new homes are due to be built across Eastleigh over the coming years.
David Hillier-Wheal, clerk to the parish council said: "We want the local people to guide what happens to our local area.
"Since local plans have been announced in 2011, the parish council have looked at options to bring a local plan forward and so one has been in the pipeline for the last few years.
"Currently, we have issued a questionnaire to give local residents their say which will help shape our draft policies."
Villagers will then form a Neighbourhood Plan steering or working group, which is comprised of volunteers to prepare draft policies that cover many aspects of the village infrastructure and housing.
Neighbourhood planning is a right for communities introduced through the Localism Act 2011. Communities can shape development in their areas through the production of neighbourhood development plans.
While these cannot block development that is already part of the Local Plan, they can shape where that development will go and what it will look like.
It comes after Eastleigh Borough Council started to debate their local plan for housing which will see 5,200 new homes built in the area to the north and east of Bishopstoke and Fair Oak.
Eastleigh Borough Council's target was to deliver 16,250 homes by 2036, but a previous Local Plan for 2011-2036 was thrown out by a government inspector in 2014.
David added: "Once approved, Eastleigh Borough Council will then take into account the plan when determining planning applications.
"The neighbourhood plan is expected to be implemented within the next 12 months."

Recently in the Evening Herald, Dan White provided some incorrect advice in response to a readers question about the safety of using travel agents given some recent high profile closures and the difficulties experienced by Budget Travel and Sunway Holidays. The question, in this article, from a reader was as follows:
With so many travel agents closing, is it safe to book my foreign holiday with an agent or should I go online instead? What happens if I book with an agent and it closes? Is my money safe?
The response from Mr. White was as follows:
First things first: if an Irish-licensed travel agent closes, as both City Travel and the Travel Collection did last week, customers' money is safe.
All Irish-licensed travel agents and tour operators must be bonded with the Commission for Aviation Regulation. Since the bonding scheme was first introduced over 20 years ago, no customer has been left in the lurch.
Unfortunately, there are qualifications necessary to these statements that make them dangerously misleading and could lead to a false sense of comfort and complacency amongst Irish consumers when it comes to booking their holidays through a travel agent.
If you book a holiday with an Irish travel agent, but if you're departing from an airport outside the Republic of Ireland, then you are not covered by the Commission for Aviation Regulation bonding scheme. You would be covered by the UK Civil Aviation Authority scheme – assuming your travel agent has signed up to it (and many Irish travel agents don't).
So, if you book your holiday from a Dublin travel agent but fly out from Belfast, you're not covered by the Commission for Aviation Regulation scheme.
Another thing to be careful of – the Commission for Aviation Regulation only covers anything booked from a travel agent that includes travel (i.e. flights). If you book a villa in the south of France, but decide to book your flights with Ryanair, then your villa booking isn't covered by this scheme either.

|Just Chillin'
"The Portable Oven"
Since newborn puppies require a good deal of warmth and aren't able to regulate their own body temperature until the third week, Mother Nature has made some clever provisions for that. Momma Faith's mammary glands are very warm; in fact almost hot to the touch. She therefore provides her brood a nice warm brew that not only nourishes and makes them sleepy but also offers a nice warm shelter for them to curl up in. Apparently Faith hasn't read the memo as she still insists on excavating a tunnel in the snow when she's outside on her bathroom breaks.
Meanwhile back in the whelping box, Mr. Buttercup has developed a fondness for burrowing under towels while Mr. Periwinkle loves to sleep on his belly with his legs splayed out behind him like a frog. The rest don't seem to be so particular. This was also the gang's first spa week. This consisted of some warm facecloth wipe downs to get any spots that mom might have missed and pedicures all around without the nail polish of course.
While the little ones spend a great deal of time eating and sleeping, they are also engaged in an intensive training programme. While they lay there asleep, the puppies are constantly twitching. These involuntary actions, referred to as "activated sleep", help strengthen their leg muscles and begin to build muscle mass. The need to climb over a sibling also supports this initiative as they plod around on all fours in search of their mom for a snack. Fortunately Faith's a good sport and keeps the milk bar open twenty-four hours a day.
One of the most exciting events for us is when the puppies' eyes open. Many of the puppies' critical organs including their brains are not fully formed and they will spend several weeks developing rapidly. Since the gestation period in dogs is short (63 days), the tradeoff is that puppies are quite helpless at birth. Biologists refer to species that produce immature dependent offspring as altricial, which means "to nurse, to rear or to nourish". It pertains to the need for the young of these species to be fed and taken care of for a long period of time. Puppies are born with their eyelids tightly shut because the eye itself is still developing and is extremely fragile. The closed eyelids serve as a barrier to protect the eyes from potential damage. Now that their eyes are open, it will take a few weeks before their eyes mature and their eyesight approaches normal. The puppies are also born functionally deaf since their ear canals are closed. While their ear canals begin to open at around the same time, the ears are much more fully formed than the eyes and their hearing will be quite acute within a week or so.
That's it for now, but be sure to join us next week for another riveting installment of "Puppy Tales".
