Take simple steps to prevent spread of aquatic invasive species
With zebra mussels, Eurasian water milfoil and other invasive species continuing to be a threat to the state's waters and the Brainerd lakes area, DNR 2nd Lt. Rob Haberman, water resource enforcement officer, asks for the public's help to stop their spread.
By taking a few simple steps, you can help protect our lakes and rivers and avoid a citation. The DNR will use roadside checks throughout the Brainerd lakes area this summer to help stop the spread of invasive species.

Parking downtown could cost drivers more if Mayor Emanuel has his way.
On Wednesday, the mayor proposed switching city parking taxes from a complicated escalating fee to a percentage-based system. The change would mean more money for some drivers and less for others.
A driver who currently pays $30 during a weekday pays a $5 tax on top of that. Under the new system, they would pay $6.
A driver who currently pays $150 a week pays a $25 dollars tax. With the flat fee, they would pay $30 - a $5 increase.
A driver who scores a $12 daily early bird special pays a $5 tax right now. Under the new system they would pay $2.40.

Student Profiles
Allison Delcalzo
Master of Arts, 2nd year
"I chose Drew because I have key faculty members and resources at my disposal, including interesting and dynamic visiting faculty and guest speakers. In addition there are exciting opportunities for growth, activism, and community building as well as an environment that furthers the experience necessary to grow in my field of religion and gender studies."
Amarilys Gonzalez
Master of Divinity, 2nd year
"Drew Theological School is a unique setting in which all our beliefs, thoughts, views and even ourselves will be challenged in various ways. This will definitely be one of the most enriching experiences future religious leaders may have and should treasure—not only because of the way it shapes their lives but also the lives of those that come in contact with them during their daily journey."
Brian Tipton
Master of Arts, 2nd year
"Drew is helping me shape my own strong foundation within biblical studies so that some day in the distant future, after completion of my doctoral work, I will be able to shape the minds of students much like myself and my colleagues. I am being shaped as an academic scholar, theologian, and teacher all at once."
Claire Saunders
Master of Divinity, 2nd year
"My favorite aspect of the Drew community is the fact that it allows me to bring my own personality to the table. It is not a community in which I feel that I must change and morph myself into some pre-existing mold. I am encouraged to bring my own life experiences and opinions to the group and the community readily accepts me."
Joshua Clough
Master of Divinity, 2nd year
"I decided on the M.Div. because I believed it would help my research interests on church activism and civic engagement. However, my seminary experience has become a type of reclamation process, wherein I am discovering the breadth of religious traditions and the intricate beauties within each. My study is no longer merely intellectual, but rather a holistic endeavor of mind, body, and spirit."
Katrina Walk
Master of Divinity, 2nd year
"At Drew, the unthinkable is often the appreciated question. I have learned that our questions speak more about our hearts and spirits than the answers do, and I now know and believe that every child of God deserves to have those questions met with sincerity and correct information. In whatever capacity I serve, this knowledge will always stay with me."
Kirk Johnson
Master of Divinity, 2nd year
"Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright preaching at Craig Chapel was a great experience. Rev. Wright is well known as President Barack Obama's former pastor. His "controversial" sermon made him revered and despised by many. However, when I saw the person behind the media, he promoted equality and social justice for the oppressed and forgotten. It taught me that you cannot fully understand someone's character until you personally meet them face to face."
Kyo Rye (Kelly) Lee
Master of Divinity, 2nd year
"My father earned his M.Div. at Drew back in '96. Drew has expanded and deepened our father/daughter relationship; we are able to talk on a different platform than prior to my education here. It has been a journey of discovery sharing in dialogue about what excites us and yet challenges us the most about theology and ministry."
Lakesha Groover
Master of Divinity, 1st year
"Drew is academically challenging, yet spiritually stimulating. Drew's population, both student and faculty, is diverse and yet still feels like a united community. I love that we get to discuss deep theological theories and challenging biblical texts in class, and through other opportunities in the community, students are given the chance to engage in discussions about how to practically apply what we are learning and experiencing."
Lindsey Duckers
Master of Arts, 1st year
"I picked Drew because it offers intensive religious education without ordination. It also helped me concentrate more on inter-faith dialogue between Judaism and Christianity. Drew helps you prepare for the world of doctoral work. Drew over all was my choice because I loved the students, staff, and faculty."
Maxine Harris
Master of Divinity, 2nd year
"I arrived for orientation. I overheard someone saying that the Chapel was on the second floor, so I ventured upward. The Chapel was so warm and inviting. I took a seat and then the tears begin to flow. I knew at that moment that God had led me to Drew, and I was where God wanted me to be."
Melissa A. Rivera
Master of Divinity, 1st year
"Like Drew, I value diversity very much. I believe I bring to Drew a supportive, affirming stance on diversity. I am of Puerto Rican descent and while I am proud of my Hispanic heritage, I embrace people of all different races, cultures and creeds."
Miran Jeon
Master of Divinity, 2nd year
"Drew is eager to support you to be wonderful leaders in church and society in global contexts. Thus, I suggest you to be ready for new possibilities and new approaches to understand the Bible and Christian faith. The approaches would not be familiar to you, but it would expand you as global leaders."
Peg Burbank
Master of Divinity/ Master of Social Work, 2nd year
"My favorite aspect of community life at Drew is the powerful way that it extends beyond our campus, and is in fact inclusive of all creation. Global perspective and potential impact are foundational to the understanding of identity for those of us at Drew, and are woven into the fabric of our diverse and united lives."
Steven Masters
Master of Arts, 2nd year
"I wanted to explore the field of religion and ecology. Drs. Kearns and Keller are leading scholars in the field, and they have helped me explore my research interests. Additionally, the M.A. program has allowed me the freedom to work with my advisor, Dr. Kearns, to pick classes that increase the breadth and depth of my studies. Drew has prepared me well for further academic study at the Ph.D. level."
Summer Kemp
Master of Divinity, 3rd year
"Living in Drew's Intentional Community has opened my eyes to what the meanings of "community" and "family" are. During my second year, my community consisted of two men and two women who enjoyed great family-style cooking, rock climbing and being sounding boards for each other regarding the things we learned in our courses. This year, we are three women hosting open-mike night, Korean gatherings and – again – really good food."

Potential is word fraught with danger. If you're a young athlete you obviously would like to be good enough to be known to have it...yet having it puts even more pressure on you to fullfill it. We have seen lots of players loaded with "potential" crash and burn for various reasons over the years. For a long while it appeared that Carlos Gomez would be one of those players. After being aquired by the Twins from the Mets in the blockbuster Johann Santana trade, Gomez was thought of as a speedy slap hitter and struggled mightily to fulfill the expectations placed upon him. Since being brought in to Milwaukee he has been seen as just a guy...fast but not very productive with the bat...which made it a bit surprising when the team gave him the high priced contract extension that they did. Maybe it was the confidence that the move showed...or the fact that he could relax and just play...or the fact that Milwaukee allowed him to unleash some surprising power...but Gomez has put together an excellent season. He should make the All-Star team and at least for now has replaced the injured Ryan Braun in the #3 spot in the batting order...no one would have believed that 4 years ago.
Triple overtime in a Stanley Cup Final game? What's not to like about that. The Blackhawks win as the puck deflects in off the thigh of Andrew Shaw.
The US Open begins today at Merion in Pennsylvania. The tournament returns to a cozy classic course for probably the last time. It's just too short for todays players and equipment. The US Open is not supposed to generate super low scores...this one probably will. Two Wisconsin players are in the field...Steve Stricker and Jerry Kelly.
The Woodchucks lost to Lakeshore last night 11-4. They host the Chinooks again tonight. I'll be in the booth with Jim Sannes tonight on Foxsports1390 & FM 93.9 at 6:15
Songs Of The Day (from my I-pod)
Lowdown-Chicago(1971) a Peter Cetera/Danny Seraphine song that features a great Terry kath guitar solo...this band could rock out back in the day.
Lucille-Every Brothers (1960) a cleaned up version of the Little Richard rave-up...gotta love those harmonies

Reactions to MySQL 5.6: Couchbase
Bob Wiederhold (Couchbase CEO) about MySQL 5.6, their use of the NoSQL term, and the PR message touting the new version as the solution "combining the best of both worlds":
What we see is a whole new wave of applications that have very different requirements than applications had just a few years ago. More often than not they are cloud-based, need to support a huge and dynamically changing number of users, need to store huge amounts of data, and need a highly flexible data model that allows them to adjust to rapidly changing data capture requirements and process lots of semi-structured and unstructured data. The fundamentally different architectural decisions embedded in NoSQL technologies – along with the easy scalability, consistently high performance, and flexible data model advantages (along with all the other tradeoffs) NoSQL provides – are turning out to be a better fit for an increasing number of these applications.
That doesn't mean MySQL (or relational databases) will go away or won't play a significant role in the database industry in the future.
Bob Wiederhold is also interested in how Oracle positions their products in terms of NoSQL:
As a side note it's curious that the MySQL team seems out of step with other parts of Oracle. While the MySQL team seems to be convinced MySQL can do it all, Oracle's NoSQL team seems to feel differently and is busily trying to catch up to NoSQL leaders like Couchbase, MongoDB, and Cassandra with their own NoSQL product. If relational technology is a one size fits all technology, why is Oracle itself making such a big investment in developing its own NoSQL product?
My supposition, expressed in the post MySQL 5.6 - What's new, is that NoSQL is just a critical checkbox on the marketing and sales departments. Oracle NoSQL database and its precursor BerkleyDB seem to silently live inside the giant.

why would they ? blu-ray is selling ps3s. They will lose ps3 sales to people just wanting a blu-ray player if prices drop to 200. Hatred for sony +3000
The $399 PS3 is still the best deal. And that's pretty ridiculous. HD DVD players were sub $200 a while ago. Blu-ray isn't even $300 yet! Usually the cheaper format wins. I mean, I'm fine with DVDs for now, but it just puzzles me that the format that won costs twice as much.
I dont see why a third party couldnt do a sub 300 player. Samsung, Toshiba, RCA, Sharp ETC. Unless sony has some kind of deal where they cant undercut the ps3. Which would not suprise me. Have I mentioned how much I think sony is equivilent to a puss filled sore on the back of a tibetin mule.
Welcome to the wonderful world of a sony owned format -_-...
I can't stand sony for certain things, this being one of them. I'd easily take a ps3 over these blu-ray players, I'd even get a monster of a folding machine out of it as well. With all the licensing fees needed, I don't understand why the movie production companies picked up bluray considering the licensing, fees, more expensive format. Even if their was buy outs for exclusivity, they are just going to lose that money slowly in the long run, compared to a HD-DVD based format which is cheaper, has better features/interactivity, etc.
Damn you sony! >_<
I also wanted HD-DVD to win the Hi-Def format war.. :(
The capacity greedy side of me is glad that Blu-Ray won though. 25/50gb vs 15/30gb. Pretty substantial. Once the blank media gets cheap enough it'll be pretty nice to have that capacity to work with.
I bet....umm....Microsoft will release its own NEW format for HD media to the game -- Sony will think that its got the gold in Blu-ray but....."HighDefosoft" will usurp blu-ray with the backing of everything in the industry except Sony!
I dunno. I mean, Microsoft supported HD DVD and now it's dead. And they are facing pressure to release a Blu-Ray Xbox 360 add-on. If new formats keep coming out, one will never get cheap enough. Just look at the price for 1 blank Blu-Ray disc, yowza.
Crisis: Size was not an issue, they made tripple layer HD-DVD's that could store 45 gb worth of data.
Honestly...If Microsoft atleast integrated the HD-DVD drive into their system, the format war would of went completely the other way. Yes sales would be lower for the 360, but HD-DVD would of came out the winner.
Obviously though, throwing the Hd-DVD would hurt microsofts sales bad...so they would never take that route. The fact that sony owns both the PS3 and Blu-ray gave them an unfair advantage...force ps3 adopters to get a blu-ray drive and pay nearly 500 or 600 for the console...But the favor in the format war would tip for blu-ray...talk about greedy and scandalous.
it would be nice when there cheap enough for pc i mean how wouldnt want a bluray disc as a backup
I wouldn't say they whole-heartedly supported it....they just kinda seemed more like "Well....we don't really want to directly support our competitor (Sony) so I GUESSS we'll kinda back HD-DVD". I guess my point is, I don't think MS was really into the "format battle" as much as their resources would allow......
BUT!! This is all in the past -- now the focus is on Sony's CEOs thinking "we got 'em! how can we gouge them for more $$ now?" I am just waiting for something like differentl levels of blu-ray -- discs that come out full featured vs discs that only come out in like 720p that they'll call the economic line. Or maybe I am not a Sony fanboi and I am just being a negative-nancy about nothing?

Dr. Roger A. Winkle's Ratings
Superb doctor. He and his group have a reputation for succeeding with difficult cases, which other doctors have been unabe to resolve. Dr. Winkle's analytical and no-nonsense manner may be off putting to some patients, but is exactly what I want in a doctor. Dr. Winkle is willing and able to discuss technical details with patients. He informs patients of his sucesss/failure/problem rates, and the statistical probabilities with regard to the patient's own case. I have never run into a doctor who is more concerned about his patients. My 5 year chronic afib condition was eliminated by means of RF ablation surgery. The medical and office staff are efficient and courteous.

How do you meet other local geeks or find a mentor?
When I tell people in the open source community that our editorial offices are located in Lawrence, Kansas, they are often surprised. If they've heard of Lawrence, sometimes it's because they know about Django, which was created here at the World Company. The University of Kansas is also located in Lawrence. Many open source geeks graduated from KU, including Gowalla Co-Founder and Ajax on Rails author Scott Raymond and Google Earth creator Brian McClendon. This fall our cool Kansas college community will become home to incoming KU freshman and 2010 Fedora Scholarship recipient Ian Weller.

- Was there with my HusbandOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/22/2012Was there with my Husband and Father for Thanksgiving Dinner. We had reservations but was told it would be another hour and that they were still seating the 3:30 reservations. The layout of the buffet was horrible as we were crossing the hall while dodging people coming in or waiting for their table. Hostess called our name and just pointed to our table that was not even set up. Had to ask a couple of time for our champagne. Will not go back even though this was an annual event for our family.

- Don't botherOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 9/22/2012I chose this restaurant due to reviews. The view was spectacular and everything else was really disappointing. When our party arrived to the restaurant, we were asked to wait 20 minutes in the bar because a large party had just arrived. We had an infant so our reservation was strategic due to feedings and sleep. We waited in the bar area and all the chairs were threadbare - quite surprising. I stated in the reservation and when we arrived that we were celebrating 2 birthdays. At no time were the birthday girls treated special - at all! All of our steaks were overcooked and for some reason our server was a manager - which he kept stating over and over - and he was horrible. No candles for the dessert- just a lousy expensive eveningSpecial Features:
- Place looked more run downOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/16/2012Place looked more run down than I remember. Food was okay, nothing to write home about.Special Features:
- This restaurant is stuck inOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 9/16/2012This restaurant is stuck in a time warp, everything about it screamed 1970s, the food, the ambiance, the decor. The staff was attentive and friendly and the noise level is very loud. We had the Sunday champagne brunch and thought it was over priced.Special Features:
- Special Sunday TreatOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/16/2012Brunch here is a very special Sunday treat. The view of The City and the San Francisco Bay is spectacular and it's fun to watch the windsurfers. The variety of food is impressive and the the quality consistently high. Service is outstanding and very friendly. Your champagne glass never sits empty for more than a moment or two! Recently windows in the dining room have been replaced, making the room much more comfortable. Tip: If you go early, there is a $5 discount. (Check with the restaurant for details.) We have been enjoying Sunday brunch at Hs Lordships for many years and think it continues to improve.Special Features:
- First time there. Food wasOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/2/2012First time there. Food was tasty, view was beautiful, and would definitely go again.Special Features:
- They have a wide variety ofOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/2/2012They have a wide variety of food for brunch. I sure hope the remodel is finished soon.Special Features:
- Early Bird Famil DinnerFlores143Dined on 9/1/2012We were there at 5 for an early dinner. This entitled us to their sunset menu for $19 which included 3 courses. However, the prime rib was tough. Their Clam chowder was tasty as well as the cheese cake. Also ordered was the Seafood Medley and the fish of the day. Seahfood Medly so-so, Fish of the day very good. Other than the dessert that came with the early bird dinner, we were not offered a dessert or a dessert menu. I don't even know if they have one. The view on the other hand is fantastic.Special Features:
- Tired!billy5ballDined on 8/31/2012Tired! The restaurant interior is old and worn. The food was "okay", wine selection was weak - not a positive experience. Great view!!Special Features:
- I was celebrating my birthday,OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/26/2012I was celebrating my birthday, and my group and I were very impressed! Good Food, great views of the entire bay area.Special Features:
- We have been there severalOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/26/2012We have been there several times and have always enjoyed the visit. Excellent variety of food. Celebrated my 70th BD there six years ago with family and friends. Hope to celebrate there every year and looking forward to a group celebration for my 80th. The staff is very friendly and courteous. We highly recommend to our friends.Special Features:
- Great Brunch GemOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/26/2012Great view of the Berkeley Marina/Bay! Loved the variety of breakfast and lunch items, including crab legs, sushi, fajitas, meat carving station, omelette station, and even a chocolate fondue fountain!! Be back soon!Special Features:
- One of the best Brunches IOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/26/2012One of the best Brunches I have had in many years. very large selection of foods. Great setting right on the Bay and spectacular views from almost any seat.Special Features:
- Disappointing. The buildingOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/23/2012Disappointing. The building is showing its age and needs a major update, inside and out. No hostess when we first arrived. Only three tables at 8:00 pm, yet we still had delays between courses. The French onion soup was great, but the clam chowder was unremarkable - it seemed like it came from a can. I think the waiter served my steak to another table, and they had to recook. The prime rib was fatty and undercooked. I don't think they have much of a future. Maybe they make it up on banquets and Sunday brunch.Special Features:
- Perfect romantic dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/21/2012It was a success! The waiters are very helpful, they're great! I appreciate that some of the staff took time to turn on the fireplace and took our pictures after dining- we celebrated our 3rd year wedding anniversary hereSpecial Features:
- A Nice Place to Take GuestsOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/16/2012I had eaten here before during a retirement party that drew at least 200 guests; and I was impressed then with the view, the food, and the service. So when a friend from out of state expressed a desire to eat where we could look out on the bay, I thought this would be a good choice. I made a reservation online for 7:30 on a Thursday night, but need not have bothered as they were only two or three other groups of diners when we arrived. Unfortunately, the bar area was being remodeled and the area of the dining room with the best views was closed; but the attentive staff did all they could to make up for that. The drinks were well mixed and reasonably priced. My friends and I enjoyed salads, pasta, chowder, calamari, and creme brûlée.Special Features:
- Fantastic for the most partOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/15/2012We were initially sat next to a large crowded loud table (which seemed like poor planning on the hostesses part) but we were moved quickly to a quiet table as soon as we requested it. The view was spectacular though the majority of the building seemed set up for events (seemed mostly for weddings) rather than restaurant dinning. It was welcoming all the same. The side dishes were lacking in flavor: mashed potatoes tasted like instant potatoes with garlic flavor mixed in. Salad dressing was a bit to watered down. Considering the price per plate- I was expecting a bit more. The filet I had was to be honest the best I'd ever eaten. The wife had prime rib, which wasn't quite as amazing. Desert menu was lacking for special dietary needsSpecial Features:
- The view of the water wasOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/15/2012The view of the water was great. The service was excellent and the food was very good. The only reason I'd say ambiance was only a three is because they are in the middle of renovations now, but I would expect it to improve upon completion.Special Features:
- Spectacular view!!!!!CaloriDined on 8/9/2012Sunset dinner specials before 6pm include 3 courses and are quite a deal. Even without the sunset specials the food is reasonably priced given the scenic location. Loved the pesto served with the bread and butter. The clam chowder had large pieces of clam and was very good. The sunset special prime rib a good size, but had they had rare portions I would have been in heaven. Med rare is the best they could do on this night. Side dishes of garlic mashed potatoes and misc. veggies were excellent. The Filet was tender and the prawns were fantastic. Pasta primavera with chicken was a good sized portion and my pasta lover finished nearly all of it. The service was attentive.Special Features:
- There have been several differentOpenTable Diner Since 2003Dined on 8/8/2012There have been several different ocassions that I have eaten at HsLordship's. Each time my experience has been very favorable. My favorite meals are the weekend brunches. As you dine on the delicious food, you are surrounded with a beautiful view of the East Bay..It is indeed a relaxing and an enjoyable experience. Barbara Y.Special Features:
- Very nice view. Overall, foodOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/28/2012Very nice view. Overall, food is very good. Just don't get pasta... it was overcooked!Special Features:
- This was my first time diningOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/28/2012This was my first time dining on a Saturday for brunch. I went there to celebrate my 4th year wedding anniversary. I was seated in the far end of the restaurant and had a great view of the waterfront and both San Francisco Bay and Golden Gate Bridges. You must try the omelettes, they are very tasty. Although I had to wait 5 minutes for them to refill the red snapper and the rice, it was worth the wait. There wasn't much of a choice for the breakfast portion. They served french toast, sausage, and eggs and omelettes. I had hoped for some fried potatoes with bell peppers and onions, and pancakes too. Also, I had wished that they would include diced chicken or turkey as a meat item instead of just the ham and shrimp as the only options.Special Features:
- Simple Food cooked perfectlyOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/27/2012My wife and I came at the end of a long day of sightseeing (and eating) for our 10 year wedding anniversary, so one of us ordered the soup, the other a salad, and we split a fillet. We expected 'forks across the table' from one plate. The waiter didn't blink an eye; when the fillet arrived; It was neatly divided between two plates and arranged esthetically. Wonderful service. There was nothing innovative about the menu. Its solid food at a solid price, cooked perfectly. We came for supper, but the Lunch and Supper menu are the same. You can have a wonderful relaxing dinner on a budget ($10 burger or $12 Fish&Chips) or splurge on Steak&Lobster, all on the same menu. :) The view was spectacular, even if the venue was a little run down.Special Features:
- The best Sunday brunch inOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/22/2012The best Sunday brunch in the San Francisco Bay Area at the most reasonable price.Special Features:
- Although the service couldOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/21/2012Although the service could have been better (the menu didn't say how big 2 of the 3 steaks were, and our waiter had to go ask the cook) the food was good. Portion sizes were above average and selection range was reasonable. The menu was not overwhelmingly original, but did contain a solid presentation of classic dishes. The ambiance inside the restaurant is OK but not great, although the large facility does make it easier to get window tables, which is significant since the restaurant sits on the water and window tables have a great view of the bay.Special Features:
- Chairs were ripped and inOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/21/2012Chairs were ripped and in poor shape. Food was bland. Place has gear potential but just feels outdated.Special Features:
- Setting is nice, decor veryOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/21/2012Setting is nice, decor very outdated and shabby. Food was just OK. Service however was very attentive, almost like they were thrilled to see a new customer!
- Lordships is great!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/20/2012We made early dinner reservation and request for window table to view the water. Three sides of the restaurant have bay view. We were the first to be seated and were given the southwest corner window with a great view of San Fran and the Bay and also romantic for myself and my gal. The service we experienced was great. Everyone was friendly, the manager came by several times to ensure our meal was meeting our expectations. A lady at a nearby table made a request for a crab cocktail not on the menu and her request was accomodated. To me, that is a sign of great service. As far as the food, we felt it was delicious, well prepared, and unpretentious. I felt as though the staff really cared. I would recommend!!!Special Features:
- Wonderful views. Great placeOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 7/19/2012Wonderful views. Great place to have a meal and visit with friends. You could hear each other!Special Features:
- It was disappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/18/2012The view was awesome but the food was not stellar. The price of the buffet is expensive for the quality and taste of the food that you get. Our waiter was friendly but seemed too busy to flag down. Except for the view, I would rate it as disappointing.Special Features:
- Perfect!OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/15/2012I really really love this place. Everything was perfect!Special Features:
- Our table was great. Had goodOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 7/14/2012Our table was great. Had good view of the bay. had early sunset dinner. No complaints Will go backSpecial Features:
- Food, service, and view is worth itOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/6/2012The food was incredibly good. Loved the honey mustard salad dressing, probably the best I have ever had. Came to HS Lordships as a child and young adult when I lived in the Bay Area, so wanted to try it again. All is great with the restaurant but it does need some updating of the furniture, worn chairs at the table and a bit musty smell. The food, service, and view all made it worth it. We will come back. Want to try the Sunday brunch again as it was my mom's favorite place. The prime rib was great and the cheescake with raspberry sauce was outstanding. Keep it going!Special Features:
- Waiter interrupted my daughterOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/30/2012Waiter interrupted my daughter who was opening birthday gifts to push some kind of membership card on her. Talked about the program for at least 4 minutes. He had to be called numerous times for coffee refills.Special Features:
- Sunday brunch is not goodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/24/2012Sunday brunch is not good as it used to be anymore. At $35 per plate, the seafoods are limited - no oysters, snow crab legs nor any baked fish. That is not reasonable at all. With the cost, Cliff House in San Francisco offers a better selection and a very good view also. Furthermore, I could eat a lot of seafood with a lot less money at Hokkaido's buffet in San Mateo also. Hs Lordship's manager and management needs to pull together and analyze the situation or lose over 30 decades of customers like myself and my family. You also need to improve the ambiance of your place', it's too outdated! Thank you.Special Features:
- This visit was the 3rd timeOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/24/2012This visit was the 3rd time we have come in for brunch. Fabulous as usual. And the price is also fabulous for the amount of amazing food that is offered I already cant wait to go for brunch again!Special Features:

- This article is about a district in Beirut. For the depopulated Palestinian village see Al-Ashrafiyya
Achrafieh, (Arabic: الأشرفية; also spelled Ashrafieh and Ashrafiyeh), is one of the oldest districts of East Beirut, Lebanon.[1]
It is located on a hill in the eastern part of Beirut alongside the shore. Achrafieh is both a residential and commercial district characterized by narrow winding streets and prestigious large apartment and office buildings. It is a prime location for investment and tourism.
Until the 1930s, Achrafieh was largely composed of farmland owned and farmed by several Greek Orthodox Christian families that had ruled the country and the region for centuries. The Lebanese government, which at the time was under French Mandate, partitioned the land in Achrafieh to build roads and highways, forcing these families to eventually sell large parts of their land.
Achrafieh formerly was ruled by seven socially and economically prominent Greek Orthodox Christian families that formed Beirut's High Society for centuries: Trad, Fernaine, Araman, Bustros, Sursock, Fayyad, Tueini.
The area is divided into numerous smaller neighborhoods. Its most prominent ones include: Sassine Square, one of the most prominent political, social and commercial focal points of the Lebanese capital; St Nicolas (where important buildings include the Sursock House, Sursock Museum, the Sofil building and the Ivory building); and Tabaris / Abdel Wahab (among its important buildings: 812 Tabaris, Achrafieh Tower, Yared buildings, Metropolis, L'Hermitage, Sight II, Beirut Heights, Fal Towers, Jardins de Tabaris, 54).
During Lebanon's civil war, bombs and rockets wiped out a substantial portion of the Achrafieh's architectural heritage. The war ended and the shooting has stopped, but the destruction of historic buildings has not. Every day, demolition teams tear down old houses and bulldoze hundred-year-old gardens. Tall concrete towers replace the houses, overshadowing the few historical neighborhoods Achrafieh has left. Historic buildings not only hold sentimental value, they are also economically viable.
Archeological remains were found below new buildings, but developers ignored them. Heritage activists are trying their best to preserve the few old remaining 'Lebanese houses' still standing in Achraifeh. But their efforts are largely in vain, as there is no law to protect old homes and preservation is low on the list of priorities for the country's politicians.
During the Lebanese Civil War, which started in 1975, Achrafieh became a major strategic base for Christian forces. Large numbers of Christian Forces militiamen were stationed there, led by Bachir Gemayel, and as such formed part of Christian East Beirut.
It was announced on August 13, 2009 that Achrafieh's neighborhood of Sodeco would be home to Lebanon's tallest tower, Sama Beirut. When the project is completed in 2014 it will be Lebanon's tallest project, standing at 200 metres (660 ft).

Masiero Aurea 9.45" H Table Lamp with Square Shade
We are sorry, we have no reviews to displayWrite the first review
These lamps represent an intriguing combination between tradition and modernity, the past and the future able to perfectly coexist. From classical to modern, the company's products, over the years, have been evolved by using new materials, such as round wood, methacrylate or ceramics from Bassano. These materials have allowed Masiero to introduce innovative aesthetic codes with more evolved and modern shapes, while also having a simplicity of language able to maintain a strong link with the roots and identity of the company.
The frames come in iron, brass and steel while silk organza, shantung Le Bock, pongé or polyester are used for lampshades. Asfour, Bohemia and glittering Swarovski crystals are used for the lamp pendants. The result is a product that is a precious decorative object and transmits a sensation of elegance and exclusivity; it makes one understand the great experience of Masiero craftsmen in the working of materials and the innovation of a design that gives a uniqueness to each item.

Looking for love in all the wrong places? A group taking a twist on the singles scene is offering a new type of mixer for self-described nerds looking for romance.
"You think of them as these socially-awkward people, but they're not," said Kim Long. "There's a nerd niche."
From Christian Mingle and J-Date to Farmer's Only and Gluten-Free Singles, it seems there's a dating service catering to just about every niche group these days. Nerds at Heart is no different, organizing monthly themed mixers centered on board games and trivia.
"I think they facilitate conversation because you can talk about what's right in front of you and just have fun with it," Ashley Clayson told FOX 9.
Each event starts with an ice breaker to pair up couples, and the groups then shuffle between various games. Of course, the cocktails don't hurt when it comes to the flirting.
With less pressure than speed dating and in-person interaction instead of online guesswork, Long says the participants find more than a new crush. They also find friendships.
"It's just everyone coming and enjoying themselves and meeting new people," Long said.
Sunday's single mixer had a supernatural theme, including a "believe in magic" quiz, "truth is out there" trivia and the drink specials also followed the theme, with the Sasquatch and Loc Ness Monster cocktails up for grabs.

Can Poetry save the World?
In Godard's film "Notre Musique," the palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish contemplates on the role of poetry in social/political/national conflicts. His main example is Greece. He says he is looking for "the poet of Troy." He wonders if poetry is a tool or a symbol of power, i.e. whether the Greeks took Troy because of their poetic superiority, or if their poetic superiority was a symbol of their overall superiority.
What then is the role of poetry in contemporary conflict? Can it help ease the tension between nations? Can it give power to those who need it? Can we make poetry a part of our identities, and a tool for our progress? Or have we given that right only to our technology?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 29 2011: Poetry is the blood in the body of free expression. Each poem that circulates both delivers essential truth and carries off waste. Poetry will not save the world. Nor will music. Nor will any individual form of free expression, whether artistic, journalistic, theatrical, etc. But to the extent that free expression is saved, so too the world will be saved.

For those of you who think that the BMW Hydrogen 7 is a new idea, someone has dredged up a video of viagra sale cheap a similar car from 1978 being showed off by Jack Nicholson.
The "news" report seems laughable now, but it's a good lesson for a world that see,s to think "breakthroughs" happen every day. Feeding hydrogen into an internal combustion engine is and www.shoreacres.net old idea and, it turned out, a bad idea. And while almost all car companies (aside from BMW) are focusing on much more efficient hydrogen fuel cell cars, decades of development still haven't brought us a mass-market car.
We're closer than ever, of course, with the Honda FXC Clarity and the Hydrogen Chevy Equinox both on the road in California. But Hydrogen cars might need decades of development before they can operate coast to coast. And, by that time, I hope we've come up with another, better solution.

Considering fuel cell best efficiency of 35%, the rest heat losses, well, BMW experimental reciprocating H2 engine achieve a whopping 50% efficiency. When one study hydrogen characteristics, its very wide ignition range make it quite possible by allowing very very lean mixture. So please, forget about the fuel cell, they are only viable in Space, because hydrogen is free over there!
Just drove the levitra daily BMW 7 hydrogen last week. Drove like a normal 400 hp car. One draw back is that hydrogen is kept liquid by an evaporative cycle using… you guess it, hydrogen. This means that the tank will empty itself over time (week) in order to stay cold. And the evaporated hydrogen is "burned" expelling water AND heat. Talk about a waste of energy… by the way, that would be the same regardless of the end user is viagra uk online viagra uk a fuel cell or reciprocating engine.

"Hock" on the other hand is primarily known as slang for putting into pawn or for generally being in debt; e.g., "Jack Nicholson hocked an Oscar because he owes so much in attorneys fees", and, "Jack Nicholson is in hock because he had to settle so many palimony suits."
It's the secondary meaning of "hock" as a verb which makes your incorrect use so unpleasant. That is, to cough up a huge, nasty glob of phlegm or mucous; e.g., "Jack Nicholson screamed at the referee so much he hocked a huge loogie all over the poor ref's shirt."
Of course, as a noun "hock" refers to viagra canada no prescription the "knee" part of a horse's hind leg. It's also a German white wine, as Shakespeare told us. Or was it Edgar Allen Poe? I forget, but I know it's something like a Liebfraumilch.

1001 Inventions to open in Istanbul
Published Date:
Istanbul will host the 1001 Inventions exhibition later this year. Speaking at the Science Museum in London, Minister Kerem Kiratli of the Turkish Republic said "we welcome 1001 Inventions as part of the Istanbul European Capital City of Culture celebrations."
Considered by the media as London's most successful exhibition, the new block buster 1001 Inventions exhibition has already attracted over 300,000 visitors to its first venue, the prestigious Science Museum in London. After closing on 30th June 2010 it will begin a high profile world tour starting with Istanbul.
Sponsored by the Jameel Foundation with academic partner the Foundation for Science Technology and Civilisation (FSTC), 1001 Inventions demonstrates that for a thousand years from the seventh century onwards, exceptional scientific and technological advancements were made within Muslim civilisation.
Men and women of various beliefs and backgrounds worked together, building upon ideas of earlier worldwide scholars and made breakthroughs that helped pave the way for the European Renaissance. These examples are intended to inspire youth to seek achievement in the field of science and to promote cultural inter-appreciation by celebrating our shared scientific heritage.
To mark the move to Istanbul, a handover ceremony took place on the 25th May 2010 at the Science Museum in London. Professor Salim Al-Hassani (Chairman of FSTC) and Lord William Waldegrave (Chairman of the Science Museum, London) delivered a model of Al-Jazari's 12th century Scribe Clock to His Excellency Minister Kerem Kiratli (of the Turkish Republic) as a symbolic handover of the 1001 Inventions exhibition from London to the City of Istanbul.

The tone of a legend is now yours. Order your EVH Wolfgang USA HT Electric Guitar from Sam Ash Direct today for the guaranteed lowest price.
Eddie Van Halen has been experimenting and tinkering with homemade guitars and making his own personal modifications for his entire career. His original homemade creation, built over 35 years ago, known as "Frankenstein", is now on display at the Smithsonian Museum. He has carved a hall of fame legacy with his music over the past 35 years and has proven to be one of the all-time greats. After having many signature models with various manufacturers throughout the years, Eddie has taken the reigns himself. Years of painstaking design, prototypes and rigorous road testing have culminated in the arrival of the EVH Wolfgang.
The EVH Wolfgang has been built to Eddie Van Halen's exact specs, right down to the last detail. The EVH Wolfgang HT represents a perfect combination of traditional features and distinctive modern personal touches he prefers on his own guitars. It was his desire to share with everyone what works for him.
The Wolfgang HT starts with a core made from basswod, and capped off with an arched 5A Maple top. Multi-ply binding graces the edges of the body and the headstock, giving the Wolfgang a clean, sleek look. The electronics feature a pair of EVH designed custom humbucking pickups, and will deliver slabs of that EVH tone you are looking for. These pickups were the result of endless experimentation and road testing, and come to you with EVH's seal of approval. Rounding out the electronics are a three-position switch; EVH custom low-friction volume (500k) and high-friction tone (250k) potentiometers.
The quartsawn AA Birdseye Maple neck is carved to the exact profile that Eddie prefers and oil-finished for a played-in, vintage feel. The 22 stainless steel fret fingerboard is shaped into a compound radius ranging from 12" to 16" which maximizes playability and facilitates effortless string bending without the annoyance of "fretting out". The hardware features a Gotoh stop-tail bridge with fine-tuners, along with a locking Floyd Rose nut to provide tuning stability. Finally, the EVH Wolfgang comes in a protective SKB case.
Order your EVH Wolfgang USA HT Electric Guitar with SKB Case from Sam Ash Direct today with the security of our 45/60 day return/price protection policy, and our 85 plus years of experience.

Comments about EVH Wolfgang USA HT Electric Guitar with SKB Case:
Look simple put best guitar I have ever played. Been playing for 25+ years. I'm not some crazy eddie fan... not really my thing, neither is signature guitars... usually prefer les paul customs, but when i start playing this thing the pitch hermonics, tone and feel where amazing... this thing is a beast that is ready to rock, weight of guitar is very reasonable, les pauls are alway heavier so I was suprised to get this type of amazing growl out of thi guitar. Only small knock is initially my finger would fall of the high e string. I had heard this complaint before and its true. But after several hours of playing it not that much of an issue anymore. I never thought i'd say this with my les paul in the same room but i'd go with the my evh guitar over it now. If i had the money i'd think about purchasing a second because this guitar is just money!!

Hedge Fund Palo Alto's Top Stock Picks
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Palo Alto Investors, managed by William Leland Edwards, was one of the most successful hedge funds last quarter, at least in terms of returns generated, gaining 26.2% between March 31st and June 30th. Now, it's worth mentioning that we can only track Palo Alto's 13F portfolio, i.e. the quarterly positions the fund reports to the SEC, but a return in the twenties is impressive no matter how you slice it. Interestingly, Edward's hedge fund is nearly entirely focused in healthcare stocks (as this graph shows), with over 90% of its total holdings held in this sector.
Consequently, individual investors would be wise to take note of the manager's best gainers over this time period; it may not be too late to add them to your portfolio. Below are Palo Alto's top two stock picks, in order of largest to smallest.
Onyx Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ONXX)
Currently taking the number one spot in Edward's portfolio, Palo Alto holds 2.3 million shares of this biopharmaceutical company worth a total of nearly $180 million, or 16.9% of its total 13F portfolio. Since the start of 2012, shares of Onyx Pharmaceuticals have returned an impressive 74.5%, primarily due to an FDA approval of Kyprolis, a drug used to treat multiple myeloma.
While the company did disappoint with its trial failure of Nexavar, a much-hyped liver cancer drug, Kyprolis is expected to generate $25 million in revenue by the end of this year, while growing to $600 million by 2015. It appears that these top line estimates are driving Onyx's stock price toward the $80-$85 range, though bulls must be aware of the company's earnings overvaluation, and shoddy EPS forecasts.
Interestingly, Onyx has seen a bit of insider selling over the past few weeks, from the likes of M. Suzanne Shema, Helen Torley, Paul Goddard, G. Thomas Wiggans and Wendall Wierenga. Since August 16th, these five insiders have sold a combined 27,600 shares of the biopharmaceutical company at an average price of $72.31 apiece. This round of selling activity is likely profit taking at its finest, as each insider exercised options worth an average price in the $31-$32, making for a nice payday indeed.
On the whole, we like Onyx Pharmaceuticals, primarily due to its advantageous revenue forecasts from Kyprolis, which is coincidentally the first drug ever to be completely owned by the company. Due to the fact that this stock makes up over one-sixth of Palo Alto Investors' 13F portfolio, it's possible that we'll see the fund atop the charts once again at the end of this quarter.
Cyberonics (NASDAQ: CYBX)
Cyberonics is a small cap medical devices company, with a focus on the production of systems that aid in the treatment of epilepsy and other neurological disorders. As of the end of last quarter, Palo Alto held 2.3 million shares worth $105.6 million. Cyberonics' "star product," so to speak, is its NeuroCybernetic Prosthesis System, which has been approved by the FDA to treat seizures. Over the past nine months, shares of the company have generated a near 50% return, as it impressed in its most recent quarterly earnings report.
Specifically, Cyberonics reached a first quarter (FY 2013) net income of $8.1 million, for an EPS of 29 cents a share. These results were up 20.8% on a year-over-year basis, and 17.0% on a quarterly basis. By the end of its current fiscal year, Cyberonics is expecting to reach earnings between $1.49 and $1.59 a share, with the Street's forecasts falling right in line with this guidance.
If its average target EPS is reached, fairly valued shares of Cyberonics can see moderate appreciation over the next 12-16 months, as it looks to be undervalued in terms of its earnings growth. The company's stock currently trades at a PEG ratio of 1.33, below Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) at 2.10, Stryker (NYSE: SYK) at 1.42, and St. Jude Medical (NYSE: STJ) at 1.62. Interestingly, Cyberonics expects to blow these competitors out of the water in terms of earnings growth, which is projected to average 28.3% a year over the next half decade. This is below the likes of Medtronic (6.2%), Stryker (10.8%), and St. Jude Medical (10.3%) quite significantly.
Aside from Palo Alto Investors, other hedge funds that are long Cyberonics are prominent managers such as Richard Driehaus, Mike Vranos, and Jim Simons. Like Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Cyberonics provides investors with a strong momentum play at an attractive price. It is understandable how this dynamic duo of healthcare stocks helped Palo Alto achieve such impressive returns last quarter.

It's clothing for a cause, and it's changing people's lives in Cobb County one family at a time. Our Father's Hands in Powder Springs consider themselves the ultimate recyclers. It's a gently used store that not only provides a great value to customers, but also food and clothing to the homeless."What's unique is we fill a niche," said Our Father's Hands executive director Linda Oviatt.With name brands like Banana Republic, Polo, and Versace, the resale shop is filled with quality clothing at low prices, but it's where the money goes that sets them apart."What we do with our proceeds that we make out of the store is provide new socks, new shoes, and new underwear for the homeless children and indigent children in the Cobb County school system," said Oviatt.Our Father's Hands and school social workers like Petrina Fowler work together to help kids and their families, and the numbers who have benefited, may surprise you."When you hear Cobb County, I think people just think all of Cobb County is very affluent, but the numbers for homelessness are pretty high. I know here at Our Father's Hands they served over 1,600 kids last year," said Fowler.When a need is posted in the PTSA newsletter, donations pour in from the more affluent parts of the county, and those donations stay in the county."The relationship is very collaborative. Every week, I'm coming to the schools and picking up bags and bags of clothing from the schools because they're able to provide a need," said Cobb Co. schools social worker Bethany Miller.Taking advantage of Our Father's Hands is not only anonymous, but in the store program recipients are treated just like any other customer."They come here, and pick out whatever they want, try it on. It's current. They get to look like all the other kids in the schools," Oviatt said.Our Father's Hands also provides school uniforms or caps and gowns when needed. Because of the relationship that they have with the school system, there is very little red tape. The family's needs have already been vetted by a social worker, so they can usually get help with what they need within an hour.

Family and friends look at you confused. You've explained what you're doing and why you need to pack a change of clothes. They've seen you train and possibly even seen a couple of videos on Youtube. But they still have that glazed over expression and don't fully understand why you're doing a Spartan Race.
We asked competitors recently what it was about doing a Sprint, a Super, or a Beast that gave them the most satisfaction.
Dane Bustrum of San Diego, California answered, "I thought about this after Malibu and for me, the best thing about being a Spartan is watching someone else who is about to give up on an obstacle and helping them to successfully complete the obstacle without doing burpees. In Malibu it was a woman at the slippery wall who said, 'I'm just going to walk around'. Another runner and I literally pulled her entire body weight up and over an obstacle. She was both thankful and happy. I've been helped and I've helped others and there's just something about being a part of a defining achievement in a complete stranger's life and then never seeing them again."
Andrew Schweizer points out, "It's a very welcoming experience. Finding people who will accept you and are happy to have you run with them in an event takes the trepidation out of participating in something challenging like a Spartan Race."
The sense of camaraderie at any Spartan Race is something very unique. Kyoul Cha, who lives in Chandler, Arizona, highlights perfectly the whole human aspect of belonging.
"Because, in suffering, we find common ground and bond no matter race, color, creed, religion, or age. You can look at the person next to you on the course and truly know the hardship that they face because you are going through it with them. And in the event of real life, when you see that Spartan Race shirt at the grocery store or Jiffy Lube, it is that badge of brotherhood because you can walk up to that person and have an immediate common interest as you compare notes and scars. So it is in the suffering of the Spartan Race where you find your humanity.
"Knowledge. That is what I gained. An entire world opened up for me that I never even thought about in the past. Being the type of person who is self-contained in his own private little world, SR showed me all of the things that can happen when you take that deep breath and let go of the safety rope of Life. I have met greater people than I knew and realized more of my potential than previously known. For that I will always be grateful."
The whole idea of having a purpose and something to aim for in life is a response we received time after time. After watching the videos of past events and seeing the photographs, some see where they feel they might need areas of their physical fitness or strength, and some see where they need to address and perhaps rectify what they feel isn't quite right. Michael Meade of Los Angeles knows this only too well.
"For me my first Spartan race was about setting a goal. I signed up for Malibu 2012, eleven months ahead of time when I was in no physical shape to actually do it. It gave me a purpose for my training, something to work toward. By the time the race rolled around on my 50th birthday, I was ready. I still failed some obstacles though. This gave me new a goal to work toward: monkey bars. I made the bars for the first time at the Monterey Beast, so now I have set my sights on the rope climb. I don' know if I will ever master the traverse wall, but damned if I'm not going to keep trying! That is why it has been good for me to run Spartan Races."
There's a certain parallel with Spartan Race for life in general. The notion that while the race has obstacles and parts of the course that will test you and try to break you, so there is in life. Jesus Valdez, who can often be seen helping folk at the Slippery Wall and countless other obstacles says, "I run for kids with epilepsy and encourage them that life is full of obstacles you don't have to go through it alone. Just because you have some kind of condition it's not an excuse to give up on your dreams." Adam Evans of California echoes that sentiment.
"Rather than avoid difficult situations, learn to face them head on, enjoy them, and conquer them. It's just about going for it, doing your best, and not avoiding things that make you feel uncomfortable. Spartan race gives me a tangible practice for this philosophy. Many obstacles I, or we, face in our daily lives are not as simple as climbing a rope or crawling through barb wire. Still it's the philosophy and practice of tackling them head on to reach your goal. I feel like this mindset can help you succeed in many other aspects of life."
Holly Scudder of Cedar Park, Texas points out that while a clock is always ticking on the course, it's not always all about the ranking.
"It's as competitive as you want to make it. Whether it's competing against others or yourself. Love the camaraderie on course and even more so off course in this type of group. Inspiration to do more and a chance to be an inspiration to someone else. When else does a weekday suit like myself get to play in the mud? And showing my son that it's okay to play, even when you get to be 'so' old!"
Amy Fuchs of Erie, Pennsylvania adds, "For me, it has really added depth and purpose to my life. There has not been too much in my life (besides my son) that I have been really, truly passionate about. I have spent a lot of time pondering over how to go about having a more meaningful life: Do I need to focus more on spirituality, meditate more? Be more selfless and do more for others less fortunate than me? Work harder? Find a new career? Choose a cause and become an advocate? Donate more of my time; volunteer more? And so that's what I did. While all of those things are well and good and important, they did not scratch the itch; none of it really cut to the core of me in such a way that left me feeling truly fulfilled. Then I discovered Spartan Race. I have found that OCR (namely Spartan, of course!) has really been the one thing that excites me deep in my soul. It has ignited that passion that I have been searching for so long for. My next race might be months away, but I literally wake up every morning with it on my mind. I'm always training for it, pushing myself to do better and be better than I was yesterday. To prove to myself that I can do great things, even if it is only in my own mind, and to satisfy that desire for depth of feeling and purpose."
Training for a Spartan Race brings with it certain life skills as a happy side-effect of preparing to race. In order to complete the Atlas carry and Tractor Pull Becky Walker of Long Beach, California undertook rigorous arm and shoulder exercises and became much stronger in her upper body.
"I often see many abandoned and stray dogs. I'll go to see if they're ok and often, they'll need a little TLC. Picking up bigger dogs now is so easy. In the past, I'd have to, hopefully, coax him or her into my car to get a good look for tags to find their families. Sometimes I even had to take them home before I could find their owners. In a worst-case scenario I'd take them to foster parents or no-kill shelter. Now I can handle the bigger dogs, and more importantly, hold onto them. The training has given me not only the strength, but also the confidence."
Matt Trinca, of Lakewood, California, remembers how an obstacle became the focus of something he sought to beat in his own way.
"Climbing a wall! I remember coming to a set of 8′-10′ walls at my first OCR several years ago and simply walking around them because I didn't have the strength or technique. But in Spartan Race, you can't simply walk around an obstacle. So, what did I do? I built my own freakin' wall in the backyard, and practiced 'til I could climb 10′ walls with ease! Now, I see walls as mere speed-bumps. Talk about a metaphor for life!"
In closing, Jonathan White sums up what seems to be a reoccurring theme that runs through all the responses we received.
"Being a Spartan represents facing your challenges head on. Not just in the race, but in your life. In 2012 when I set out to lose weight and improve my health, I set as a goal to run a Spartan race. And I did…..and now I am hooked. I'm going to be running four Spartan races in 2014."
All these people knew at the finish line. Will you?
