The Iceman
What is going on? Clinton Portis is not practicing and it is starting to show in a big way. There were a number of plays today where he made bad reads and just didn't look in the zone. Furthermore, and more costly, Portis has started fumbling the ball. Now, it didn't cost us this week, but it cost us last week. It may have cost us the game. It is so frustrating to see an athlete as talented as Clinton just being lazy all week and coming in rusty on Sundays. All of this stuff about being injured is bullcrap. When is he getting injured? His 15 carries a game? His 0 reps in practice? Clinton is getting extremely tired....If we were not in serious contention this year, I would say ship him now! Thoughts?????

Dancing Alone1 Reviews
Two hearts...one slowly aching, while the other is falling apart.
"I'm back," a girl's voice rose from the hallway as Josey looked up from her screen, smiling widely as her petite fiery-haired best friend walked into the room carrying two Starbuck's frappichinos in her hands.
"Thanks," Josey said as Ayla handed one to her and asked while her eyes scanned the computer screen with curiosity, "How's the article going?"
"Alright, I guess. Who would've thought that it'd be so hard to edit out all the swear words included in half of my interview with The Enemy UK? I think I gave up about an hour ago," Josey laughed as she quickly saved her progress. Stretching her stiff arms above her head she yawned and emitted, "I've been on a such a horrible streak lately. James totally chewed me out the other day."
"What'd you do?" Ayla asked in an almost knowingly tone as Josey responded, "I accidentally left my office to ask Lily a question about the front cover this month. You'd think he'd understand but no. Instead, he gave me a whole other assignment to keep me 'busy'."
Snickering, Ayla rolled her eyes and said, "Well, at least he doesn't give you the lame assignments I get. Come on! Paris Hilton album reviews? It's a joke, I tell you!"
"Wait, I thought he upgraded you to full interviews now?" Josey inquired consciously. Ayla slurped the last of her mocha frappichino before explaining modestly, "If you consider an interview with Kid Rock an upgrade."
Josey winced and replied, "Ouch."
Ayla nodded but smiled before optimistically reminding, "But at least we get to do Warped together!"
Josey laughed enthusiastically before asking, "Who are we interviewing again?"
"Kevin Lyman," Ayla answered while flipping quickly through the notes on her desk.
"Why? What's going on at warped this year?" Josey asked curiously.
Ayla's jaw dropped as she stood up immediately squealing, "You mean you don't' know?"
Biting her lip in confusion, Josey shook her head, her face pleading for further explanation.
"Kevin Lyman has posed that Warped Tour have a huge one time benefit concert here in Chicago for breast cancer awareness. And recently, he's managed to book over fifty bands to play at the benefit. The greatest thing about it is that all of the money goes straight to cancer research!" Ayla exclaimed, her body jumping from the excitement of being able to cover a story on such a rare event in music history. At least for Warped anyway.
"That's awesome! So, when do we do the interview?" Josey asked impulsively, standing up while her wide eyes pulsed with adrenaline.
"Next Saturday!" Ayla answered giddily, "And the best part is that if we do a good job on this interview, James said we'd be in for the big benefit concert itself!"
Nothing could've wiped the grin off Josey's face as she let her new assignment sink in. Instantly, her fingers started tapping away at the keyboard as she plotted out her next move in this high speed marathon that was slowing consuming her life.
Bill and his band mates stood on the crowded boardwalk in sunny Santa Cruz as they waited for Brianna to finish getting ready to go out for lunch. This had become a regular occasion for the Academy boys. William stared at the ground, silently brushing a hand through his shaggy hair as Brianna walked out the bus finally.
She walked over, her glazed over look being lightly emphasized by a red lipped grin. Bill sighed indirectly at himself as he walked over, hugging an arm around her waist as he greeted, "Hey hun."
"Hey," she giggled as the two walked towards Sisky, Butcher, Chizzy, and Mike Carden.
"Sorry, it took forever. I just couldn't decide on an outfit," she mumbled indiscreetly as she entwined his hand into hers.
"I thought this was supposed to be a boy's day to play," Sisky murmured irritably as the duo approached them. Bill glared an age old stare that spoke 'Don't start this again.'
But by this time, Brianna was already shooting him a death glare that made even the cruelest of beasts look tamed. Bill groaned as the boys piled into a minivan, leaving an open seat for Brianna next to Sisky.
However, Brianna was not the least bit willing to cooperate as she stood outside the car with a disgusted look on her face. William sighed and silently pleaded her with a 'just this once' face that made her sigh before getting in the vehicle.
"Thanks, babe," William grinned a relieved smile as he leaned over the seat and kissed her on the cheek while she stared out the window distantly, the expression on her face hard to read.
"So, what's the agenda for tonight?" Chizzy asked, breaking the silence that'd become rather evident since the vehicle started to move. Mike turned to the back and answered from the front, "Well, according to this list," while pointing to the schedule in his hand, "We go eat now, do a few interviews here in town, play the show tonight, then head straight home."
"Yes," William cooed softly, "I can't wait to get home and see everyone again."
"Me too," the boys hummed in unison as the vehicle pulled into a shabby old parking lot. Stepping out of the vehicle, William swallowed a breath of smoggy air before they proceeded into the restaurant.
Inside, the group scanned over the rows of tables as a waiter seated them by the window. The boys piled into the corner booth, leaving Brianna closest to the aisle. Bill watched her as the rest of the guys chatted amongst themselves. Her expression was solid as her eyes flickered at him every so often . Bill decided to ignore this before chipping into the conversation.
It wasn't until Bri spoke up that Bill shared eye contact with her.
"Is it cool if I go out with the girls tonight?" she asked curiously, raising an eyebrow subjectively. Bill seemed relatively surprised as he answered, "Yeah, of course it's cool. Why would I have a problem with that?"
"I don't know," she snapped, "I'm just telling you. Okay?"
"Okay…" Bill trailed off before scooting towards her and slipping his hand onto the hem of her skirt. Goosebumps formed on his skin as a skin tingling depression overwhelmed his body. Like touching her brought on this immense aura of discomfort…like she didn't want to be there right now.
"I'll be right back," she said, standing up and smoothing out her blouse as she kissed Bill quickly on the cheek before heading towards the lady's room.
Adam T. Siska watched as the girl disappeared behind the golden doors before commenting, "So, when I was tracking bass lines in the studio the other day, you'll never guess what prissy little miss decided to interrupt me."
William shifted his eyes towards the guys guiltily before he stared down at the table, eavesdropping the conversation as Chizzy asked, "What'd she do?"
Rolling his eyes, Sisky replied, "She chewed me out for leaving bear bottles in her bunk from the other night."
"Who's idea was it to bring her on tour again anyway? Remember last time?" Chizzy retorted with disgust as the boys remembered the brief details of the last time Brianna had gone on tour with the guys, where she had allegedly gotten drunk with a roadie and ended up trying to strangle Tony.
Raising his palm, William wiped his forehead tiredly, feeling partially to blame for this disaster of a situation. He couldn't help but want his girlfriend on tour, but it was so hard to watch her constantly battling with his best friends.
She just…acts different around other people than she does around me, he thought worriedly to himself. He swore he'd aged after how much stress he'd undergone in the duration of this tour.
"Back," Brianna greeted as she sat back down by his side. He smiled exhaustedly as he stared out the far window, wondering where he could find a place to step out of his life for a while. Just a little while.
It was a little past 5:30 as Josey left work, joined by Ayla as the two walked down the street to the nearby parking lot. Josey sighed as Ayla rambled on about how much she'd wish the office would find a better editor. Smiling sympathetically, she asked, "Hey, do you want to head down to Nick's with me and have a few drinks while the night is still young?"
"Awww Jose, I would but I can already hear Sadie's stomach growling from here," she explained with a laugh, "Don't hurt yourself, dear. Be safe. Night."
Josey watched as Ayla paced to her vehicle and unlocked it while zipping up her windbreaker. She sighed as she turned to walk towards her own vehicle, searching blindly for her keys in her pocket.
With a quick glance as the nearly starless sky lit by city lights, she opened her car door and inched herself in before driving to the bar for the third time this week, alone and determined to find excitement.

Solemn season of Lent gets a jolt from Pope's resignation
Catholics who attend Ash Wednesday services today will be encouraged to tend to their spiritual side these 40 days through prayer, fasting and donations to the poor. Simultaneously, machinations will be underway at Vatican City to select a new pope, and with it a bountiful helping of speculation, politicking and intrigue.
"It's sort of a heightened sense of expectation now," said the Rev. Msgr. Anthony Frontiero, the rector of St. Joseph Cathedral who worked at the Vatican for two years during Benedict's tenure.
Nonetheless, Frontiero plans to avoid mention of the resignation during his Ash Wednesday homily today. He will offer prayers for Benedict and the College of Cardinals, which will choose his successor.
And he thinks the announcement may draw a few more people - including fallen-away Catholics and non-Catholics - to church today. The 12:10 p.m. Ash Wednesday service usually comes close to filling the Cathedral, he said.
"I hope the faithful, in light of this announcement, may reevaluate their desire to participate in the life of the church," he said.
Lent is the 40-day period leading up to Easter.
Many Catholics resolve to forgo luxuries such as sweets or alcohol, and adults are supposed to eat only one major meal on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday (although they can supplement it with two smaller meals), according to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
They are also told to not eat meat on Ash Wednesday and all Fridays during Lent. And they should pray more and give alms, or donations to the poor. During Ash Wednesday services today, priests mark the foreheads of worshippers with ashes, a sign of penitence, according to the U.S. bishops.
In Nashua, the Rev. Michael Kerper, the pastor of St. Patrick Church, said he will not mention Benedict during today's homily.
"I don't think he would want priests to do that," Kerper said. "It really doesn't fit with the tone of the service."
St. Patrick Church is located across the street from the Hillsborough County-South Superior Courthouse, and Ash Wednesday can be one of the biggest draws of the year, Kerper said.
He credits Benedict with one of the most visible changes at St. Patrick Church. Five years ago, the previous St. Patrick Church pastor started saying Mass in Latin, after Benedict gave priests the discretion to offer Mass in the ancient church language.
Now, Latin Mass is said at St. Patrick every Saturday morning and once a month on Sunday. This coming Sunday, the noon Mass will be in Latin. Kerper also says the Mass ad orientem, meaning the priest faces the front of the church along with the congregation.
Benedict was long known to be a fan of the ad orientem, Latin Mass. But even then, it took Benedict almost three years into his papacy to make that one modification, Kerper said.
"It takes years for any kind of change to happen (with a new pope)," he said.
Normally, the Vatican slows down during Lent and the pre-Christmas season, said Kevin Donovan, spokesman for the Diocese of Manchester. "It's a period of radio silence," Donovan said.
But this year will be different out of necessity, Frontiero said. The papal throne should not be vacant any longer than necessary, he said.
"I think the objective would be to have a Pope for the holy season of Easter," Frontiero said. "There's no reason not to."

I first smelled this on my sister-in-law back in the 80's, and I immediately ran out and bought a bottle. Beautiful has been my fave among my collection ever since then. I've always received compliments from strangers, mainly men, who want to know what I'm wearing so they can purchase it for their sweeties. It seems to last a long time on me and can be too overpowering, so I spray the air and step into it.

I absolutely LOVE this perfume. It's my signature scent. I ALWAYS get compliments on how good I smell when wearing it.
The scent is a fragrant, crisp, slightly floral smell. It's a smell that makes you go "mmmmmm, that smells gooood".
I have tried a few other fragrances since discovering it 10 years ago, but I always come back to it. It's the only perfume I'm willing to shell out over $75 for a generous size bottle.

While I LOVE the lotion and shower gel in this scent, I just can't bring myself to love the fragrance too. It smells so much more cloying and overwhelming than the body products. It has an almost powdery smell to it that stays from start to finish.
I will probably repurchase the lotion and shower gel but not the EDP. And since I live in the south the lotion and shower gel layered together will probably be enough scent anyway!

Love it again. When it first came out in the 80's I loved it. bought the perfume and lotion which is wonderful and lasting and not nearly as strong as the perfume and wore it always and got so many compliments..and men loved it... I mean LOVED it. I stopped wearing it over 15 years ago and just recently bought another body lotion and I still love it. First wear after 15 years and my significant other was really taken by it... it's a keeper .. but I do prefer the lotion or cream.. much nicer, smoother..

I am always tricked to buy fragrance from EL. and i dun even know or understand why. There is something very lady-like in their smell, rather special and unique as well... but i often regret after buying. It will not last and the last layer always smell funny. Beautiful has a very "outdated" type of smell... if that makes sense at all!
I'm blown away by how almost everyone likes this fragrance. However, I never like what is considered very popular or "classic" so there we are. I mean, everyone raves about Chanel #5 but to me it smells like mothballs. Same with Beautiful-i tried it in Macy's and it smelled really sharp at first. I let it sit for a while and smelled the scent strip again-no sale. It mellow out a bit but it still doesn't smell remotely floral. It just smells sharp, loud and suffocationg. I guess this is the matter of taste but its definately not for me. My BF ex-wife wore it so thankfully its the only perfume I have to avoid and since I can't stand it its no hardship.
My mom has worn this perfume for as long as I can remember and she still gets compliments on it. Smells wonderful!
i think this perfume is exquisite. it is strong - very strong - and needs to be handled with care! i have been known to bathe in perfumes to the detriment of the people around me, but i have only been wearing two sprays of beautiful, and that is more than enough. this scent has serious sillage. one spray alone will leave a scented trail in your wake. so, yes, it is very strong, and it could be described as a little dated - i prefer to use the words classic or timeless! and unlike perfumes from eras passed like poison, or youth dew, i find this one a lot more wearable. as for the scent itself - i don't know how i could describe it other than to say it is a very intense floral. it smells like a thousand flowers and very little else - on me i do also notice a sort of dried floral note which smells a little like a herbal tea bag (but in a good way!). well, this perfume certainly isn't for everyone, but sprayed delicately, it is sublime, and worth a try if you want to stand out from the crowd!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I want to say I will not buy this again... But based on experience, I know I will have a bottle of Beautiful in my collection at some point again (as I do now).
This was my signature scent in last year of high school and college - I know this probably colors my opinion of it. I do realise it's a bit "thin" as a perfume. Not so much dark, complex stuff happening. So it may be odd that it was my signature scent (as I was more dark and complex, than pretty and light).
Beautiful is not very complex but it's not a unidimensional floral. At least on me, this smells somewhat like snow and definitely a bit powdery - which is something I like, although many people hate powderiness in fragrance. For this reason, even though it's a floral, it's always been my winter perfume... I love picking up a soft, warm sweater which smells of Beautiful. Cheers me up on a winter day.
I have been trying to figure out what this fragrance was for YEARS. I had a boss that wore it, and I would sometimes trail behind her just to bask in her sillage. I never asked what she wore, though.
Several times in the years since then, I have caught a whiff of it while passing through department stores, and been stopped in my tracks, but I was never able to figure out what that captivating scent was.
Today I had a "stopped in my tracks" moment, and I finally tracked it back to the Estee Lauder counter where I sprayed every fragrance they had to find it. And then I bought it.
The first few minutes after I apply Beautiful, it has a harsh chemical scent that is very unappealing, but it softens quickly into an inticing heady floral that just smells. . .pretty. I did learn rather quickly that one spray is rather more than enough; this might be a "spray and walk through" fragrance because it is VERY strong.

Near our hotel. Near the bus stop and fun park dolonne. Delicious foods especially the soups. Pastas and meats. Very accomodating personnel. Definitely going back there..
Really good tasting pizza. Nice modern interior and really friendly staff.
Prices are not too expensive and reasonable for the quality offered.
Grazie per aver apprezzato la nostra pizza! Vorrei solo precisare che la recensione si riferisce alla pizzeria Fuoripista, locale confinante...
I rarely have three courses but, after eight hours of hiking, I indulged. The goat's cheese salad with blueberries was amazing. The polenta was ridiculously good. And the chocolate mousse, what can I say!! Beautiful outdoor area as well.
The place seems not bad, new, and nice menu and presentation, but i find the workers not user friendly, and even not friendly at all, but it doest, matter. What it matter is the meat, because we came here for the meat. The quality not so special, and not a good chef. At the and we have understood that it...
the restaurant was really close to our hotel, so we went there not expecting much, but everything was really good! The food was delicious, the staff was nicely and the food came really fast!
Although this is a three-star restaurant, I assign a five-star rating because I feel it's the best of its class.
The menu offered various local specialties, including zuppa alla valpellintenze (a sumptious soup including bread, onions, and sausage); a risotto ai mirtilli (rice with blueberries) served in a basket of parmesan cheese, and baked Cipolla di Tropea (red onions).

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will be remembered in San Diego County this morning with several community events.

To the fans of rock musicians, actors and authors everywhere: you may be wondering how they did it. You may be rubbing yourself raw with self-doubt and hatred. It's important not to use these people as benchmarks. Compare yourself only to who you were yesterday. And take the necessary steps to perfect your art, push a tiny bit more in the direction you want to go. Leave role models on the posters of high school bedrooms and honor yourself. We're not that different you know; the superstars and the underdogs. The only difference is; underdogs like us have nothing to lose.

"Going to college" these days means different things to many students. In this issue of Communiqué we're pleased to share snapshots of the rich variety our innovative professors, programs and students bring to the comprehensive collegiate experience.
You'll read about a service-learning project in Haiti and how it has spawned a fresh look at embedding service in our academics. You'll also see how teaching "applied innovation" earned a Fulbright Scholarship, and how impressing teens with cyberforensics builds early paths to high-tech education.
Pathways and partnerships are pivotal to the college's success. That focus has brought to fruition our new 24,000-square-foot facility opening this fall on the Flagler/Palm Coast Campus. This spring, it has led us to conduct two explorations into regional business and community needs. Read The Insider View to find out how our Foundation has reached across Volusia and Flagler counties to identify top areas for college advancement. And in the next issue, we'll have results from our Workforce Summit with nearly 100 business and civic leaders.
As we move into fall with a 2014/15 balanced budget, approved by our District Board of Trustees with no tuition hikes, our mission remains clear: service to students and community.
Please enjoy our summer issue of Communiqué.

Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence is a pattern of behavior where one partner in an intimate relationship chooses to use coercion, controlling and abusive behaviors to establish and maintain power and control over the other person. Tactics can include physical, psychological, sexual, social, and financial abuse. Domestic violence can happen to anyone regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or gender. Domestic violence affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels. Domestic violence occurs in both opposite-sex and same-sex relationships and can happen to intimate partners who are married, living together, separated, or dating. According to the Center of Disease Control, one in three women in the United States will experience Domestic Violence in their lifetime.
Domestic violence not only affects those who are abused, but also has a substantial effect on family members, friends, co-workers, other witnesses, and the community at large. Children, who grow up witnessing domestic violence, are among those seriously affected by this crime. The abuser interferes with the victims' ability to parent, causing harm to the parent/child relationship, and many are abusive to their own children . Frequent exposure to violence in the home not only predisposes children to numerous social and physical problems, but also teaches them that violence is a normal way of life – therefore, increasing their risk of becoming society's next generation of victims and abusers.
Abusive behaviors are not symptoms that someone is angry or out of control. An abuser makes a choice to exert power and control over his or her partner.
Abusive behaviors include:
Community Works provides services to women, men and children who are or have been victims of domestic violence. Services and support are free and confidential. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. To access Victim Services Programs call HelpLine at 541-779-HELP (4357) or 1-855-216-2111. We are here to help 24 hours a day every day of the year.

Really Horrible Porch
My porch is solid concrete. It's about 8" thick and 10' x 5'. Sinking, uneven, raised at one end due to frost and thaw and unstable base. I am considering getting rid. How much effort is involved in breaking it up ? I am thinking about renting a pneumatic drill, but have never used one before. Any information would be helpful. Thanks !
The easiest way to break it up would be to rent an electric jack hammer. Check at your local tool rental place.
Would I need a compressor ? How quickly could I get the job done (in terms of hours labour) ? How heavy is the jack hammer itself and does it require much effort to operate ? Never used one before, so apologies if these questions are silly. Thank you.
travel said ' ELECTRIC ',,, YOU mention'd a pneumatic DRILL which would need a compressor of, at least, 100cfm @ 100psi,,, but the hammer's the tool, NOT a drill,,, & actually a 185cfm's much more efficient using a 90# hammer,,, however, since most don't have the physical stature operate the 90#, consider using a 60#,,, you'll still need a truck to pull the compressor home from the rental yard unless they'll deliver & pick up,,, if you've never done this work, buy some gloves, boots, jeans, safety glass's, & ear plugs + some ben-gay for the next morning :D it is NOT necessary to invest in the armor-plat'd bra, however, as some might suggest :rolleyes:
travel's probably referring to the bosch ' brute ' which operated on std house current - 110v, 15a,,, just be sure your extension cord's heavy enough so you don't continually trip the breaker.
i know a few women who could do this work & not bat an eye but they possibly work part-time as bouncers in local nite clubs, too,,, most women cannot due to physical stature, predilection, & desire.
IF you're a guy, its 1/2 a day's work depending,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Thank's for that great reply !

Written by: Jen Hanks
I recently had the opportunity to work individually with
Gene Hamilton, head skills coach with BetterRides. As I mentioned in my pre-lesson write-up, I
participated in a 2010 clinic, practiced the skill drills provided, and
subsequently improved dramatically. However
being over a year and a half out from the clinic, I wanted and quite frankly
needed, some fine-tuning.
We met at 10:00 sharp on a trailhead that Gene was familiar
with in Park City and went over a few of the topics I wanted to cover. The first thing Gene did was look at my bike
set-up. He suggested a wider
handlebar. My current 24� wide bar is a
good but 2-3 inches narrower than what he would recommend. He also pointed out that my stem is a bit
high, but due to my fork set-up I can�t run a lower stem without lengthening
it. In Gene�s opinion, and I agree, the shorter/higher stem versus the
longer/lower stem is preferred. Finally,
he suggested I try a drop seat-post especially when riding highly technical trails.
I could go into detail about all of the skills we practiced,
and I will touch on some key techniques I learned, but first I would like to
talk about why I think Gene�s methodology is so successful at improving skills for all levels of riders from long-time pros to novices.
First, Gene truly is an expert at teaching proper mountain
bike skills. He has dedicated his life
to learning proper technique and how to effectively teach it to others. I learned that Gene is continually improving
his skills as a coach by analyzing video, reading books on how to effectively
teach, and working with some of the best technical riders in the world. One of his mantras is to "be a student
everyday�, this applies to him as well as his clinic participants. Even top pros, like Ross Schnell and Sue Haywood, have benefitted from Gene�s
instruction, learning new or different skills to help them gain a few seconds
here or there. Additionally, the
curriculum Gene has created focuses on the foundational skills of mountain biking including proper body position and technique and
he provides skill drills that can be practiced both in a parking lot and on
the trail. He points out that it takes
countless hours of practice to learn a new skill, however, unfortunately, the old
(improper) skill takes just as long to be unlearned. He jokes that the best thing that can happen
to someone after a clinic would be a huge snowstorm forcing the student to practice skills for 6 weeks in a parking garage! Finally, Gene�s proper technique allows a
rider to feel more stable on the bike. After mastering a skill, you feel like you are riding slower, because
you are more in control, however your time is faster. You don�t have to be a downhill daredevil to
go faster!
Here are some of the key things we reviewed/discussed/practiced:
Vision, vision, vision: It's what separates us from the roadies. Gene
strongly recommends pre-riding racecourses and dialing in visual reference
points to help rail blind corners or overgrown trails. He also recommends staying about 25 ft. behind a
similarly skilled rider on a downhill. This allows you to see visual hazards (i.e. rocks) that could result in lost
time or a mechanical. This does not
apply if you are more skilled and planning on passing!
Steep climbs: When
climbing steep pitches on the 29er, because of the longer chainstay length,
sitting up taller as opposed to getting
low helps keep rear tire traction. Totally works!
Steep downhills: 80%
of braking power comes from the front brake, so if you want to maintain control
on a steep downhill you need to be able to use your front brake without
skidding. To do this, contrary to what I
had been practicing, weight needs to be a bit farther forward. This trick worked for me immediately as I felt much more in control of my bike even on the steep loose descents of the Galena Grinder.
Switchbacks: Brake
harder going into them so that you go into the turn more controlled and use the
2nd half of the turn to increase speed and exit faster. By
doing this, you maintain an overall higher speed. Yep, this totally works too! Note: It is okay to hold brakes to scrub speed through a tight turn, but it is
not okay (will result in lost traction) to let go of the brakes and then grab
them again later in the turn.
The rest of the session was spent discussing teaching
philosophies, approaches to training, and race strategies. In addition to Gene�s mantra of "be a student
everyday�, he had many quotes that resonated with me. "Enjoy the process� and
"Be the best you can be, everyday� were some of my favorites and pretty much
sum up my approach to training and racing this year. I truly look forward to the drills, practice,
and subsequent mastery of skills resulting in increased speed and faster race
Check in later for an update on how my skills training is going and how mastery of my new bike skills have affected my race times.

Fennel-Pepper Slaw
Photo: Lisa Romerein; Styling: Karen Shinto
Fennel, which tastes faintly of licorice, makes a great base for a Zin-friendly salad. Prep Time: about 25 minutes. Notes: Paper-thin strips of fennel are easy to cut on a mandoline. We like this slaw after it has been chilled in its dressing overnight, but it's also good after just an hour.

"This is a splendid and exciting read about the author's transition from self-centered narcissist to world citizen during his 10-year, physically and emotionally rigorous adventure to be the first person to climb the highest summits on every continent and surf all the oceans of the world. Highly recommended!"
-- Gary Colliver, Windows on the World-Books & Art, Mariposa, CA
Before Georgetown physics professor Francis Slakey decided to climb the highest mountain on every continent and surf every ocean, he had shut himself off from other people. His lectures were mechanical; his relationships were little more than ways to fill the evenings. But as his journey veered dangerously off course, everything about him began to change. A gripping adventure of the body and mind, To the Last Breath depicts the quest that leads Slakey around the globe, almost takes his life, challenges his fiercely held beliefs, and opens his heart. The scientist in Slakey explores the history of Robert Falcon Scott's doomed Antarctica expedition, the technology of climbing, and the geophysics of waves. But it is the challenges he endures and the people he encounters ? a Lama who gives him a mysterious amulet, a life-or-death choice atop Everest, an ambush at gunpoint in Indonesia, a head-on collision in the high desert ? that culminate in a moving lesson about what it means to be human.

Why Does That Kid Have Boobs?
Look around the playground at my daughter's elementary school, and what you see may surprise you: BOOBIES -- and I don't mean on the teachers.
Guest blogger Emma: The other day as I was picking up my daughter, Lauren, from school, a tallish girl was practicing some dance moves over by the restrooms. I couldn't help but notice some of her more, well ... noticeable features (and neither could a few snickering boys). Big breasts, curves, acne -- here was a girl practically stampeding into womanhood. Who was she? I wanted to know. Someone's older sister? "No," my daughter -- a third grader -- informed me. "That's Iree*. She's in Mrs. K's [4th grade] class." Excusez moi? I stopped mid-stride:
Lauren: "What?"
Me: "That girl goes here?"
Lauren: "Yes, Mother."
Me: "How many grades has she flunked?"
Lauren: "Mom!"
Me: "But she has boobs."
Lauren: "MOM!"
Embarrassed, she ran ahead and, I assume, got back to thinking whatever it is 9-year-olds think about these days. But I couldn't stop thinking about what I'd seen: Boobs! On a fourth grader! Dude!
When I was that age, Mary Kay Reeves* was the first to develop. She wore a bra, "went" with the cutest boy in class and -- thanks to an incident involving white jeans -- couldn't hide the fact that she'd started her period, too. For the most part, though, the rest of us fourth graders were still a few years from training bras and maxi-pads. Puberty, boys and the kissing of said boys -- which we figured Mary Kay was doing regularly (she had BOOBS, after all) -- were not quite at the forefront of our thinking.
Yet looking at Iree, I was pretty positive they were on hers. I was curious: Were there others like her?
I decided to perform an experiment. The next day, I did an on-the-sly boobie-check at Lauren's school. (I realize how pervy this sounds, but really, my research was purely scientific.) I can't say they were everywhere, but oh, they were there. I'd heard experts say kids are developing sooner, so I thought, Okay, this is just the proof in the pudding. Or on the playground. Whatever. At least I didn't have to worry about my kid getting boobs any time soon.
And that's when the gods decided to have some fun. Yes, that very night, I gave my daughter a hug from behind and felt the beginnings of two little buds. I cannot express the surprise and panic that went through me. First it's boobs, then dancing in front of restrooms ... oh God, oh God, oh God.
Since that night, I've calmed down. I've researched on the Internet and compared stories with my sisters and girlfriends who have daughters (one acquaintance's 10-year-old had already started her period!), and have learned that there are many factors that go into a girl's earlier-than-normal development -- environmental contaminants, body-fat content and genetics, to name a few. But most importantly, I've learned that while girls' bodies may be maturing sooner, it doesn't mean their minds are, too. Which means that my kid -- and all the other "sproutlets" at school (Iree included) -- are still just kids. Whether they dance in front of restrooms or not.
*Not their real names.
When I was 20 I dated a 17 year old for a short time. We broke up because her biological clock was ticking way too loudly. I had only just started dating and was not about to get married. Although we broke up, we kept in touch as friends. She had started menstruating and developing breasts at 10 years old. She reached menopause before 35 and died, an old woman, before reaching 60.
Most of the children from my school who bloomed early are now dead while those who were childlike when I left highschool have retained relatively youthful looks into their 60s.
I have concluded not all humans have the same life span, and some need to get on with adult life more quickly than others.
There was a good article in Mothering mag a year or two ago about this — the hypothesis there was that one culprit is soy, which contains a ton of estrogen. Sadly, many parents believe that soy is healthier than dairy even in families without any allergies or real reason to think so — it just has some kind of cachet to it. In reality, it contains a lot of estrogen and has been linked to early puberty in girls as well as fertility problems in boys/men.
It also may be the hormones being pumped into the animals we eat, and the milk we drink.
I firmly believe that some of the health problems we are dealing with today are due to contaminated water supplies.
Whilst all kinds of detritus is removed from the water, which is then chlorinated to kill bacteria and viruses none of the processing of our potable water removes any of the drugs that we have had pass through our systems. Just think of all the meds we, as a population, ingest, from acetaminophen and multi-vitamins to hormone treatments and anti-depressants through to antibiotics. Now, consider then that only about 10% of a dosage is absorbed by the body.
And then, of course, there is the chemical additives and drugs that a lot of our foods end up containing…
My daughter is 10, wears a B cup and has been in a training bra since second grade. No period yet, thankfully. In her school it's about 50/50 between those who have developed and those who haven't. According to her pediatrician she's right on par with how her growth curve has always been so I try not to stress it and just roll with the punches.
I'm 41. I started my period at 10 & was wearing a c cup. I was always taller than my peers. I didn't have my daughters until I was 28 and 30.
My now 12 year old also started her period at 10, is taller than most of her female peers and wears a DD. yes I am screaming on the inside ;)
My 10 year old doesn't need a training bra yet (but wears one) and is taller than most of her male and female peers.
There doesn't seem to be a pattern for our family.
If you think you and your children are not exposed to endocrine disrupters, think again. Theyâre commonly found in many household products and cosmetics, including:
Bovine growth hormones commonly added to commercial dairy
+Soy foods, which are loaded with hormone-like substances
+Bisphenol A, commonly used in many plastics such as baby bottles, food-storage containers, and the lining of soda cans
+Phthalates, also commonly used in plastics
+Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) — better known as Teflon
I want to place special emphasis on SOY. As many VitalVotes readers have been pointing out, soy is present in virtually every processed food, and Americans are eating it in unprecedented quantities in foods like soymilk, soy burgers, and soy ice cream.
Meanwhile, some misinformed moms are still feeding their vulnerable babies SOY infant formula, which exposes their child to the equivalent of five birth control pillsâ worth of estrogen every day. For this same reason, itâs also important for pregnant women to avoid eating soy, as a high estrogenic environment in utero may increase their childâs subsequent breast cancer risk.
Other environmental chemicals like PCBs and DDE (a breakdown product of the pesticide DDT) may also be associated with early sexual development in girls. Both DDE and PCBs are known to mimic, or interfere with, sex hormones.
What is even more troubling is that endocrine-disrupting environmental chemicals can actually increase your childâs risk of obesity, which in turn may increase their likelihood of early puberty.
Puberty at 8? Girls' Earlier Puberty Puts Them at Higher Risk for Cancer
Stop eating fake food and food with additives and learn to prepare a healthy diet for your children and WAKE UP.
Soooo agree with m. The growth hormones in milks and meats absolutely cause children to grow faster. There was an 8 year old boy on our block with pubic hair and almost ready to shave. Eat organic non-hormone and non-chemically contaminated foods whenever possible. These early developers are also at a greater risk for cancers later in life. The earlier you develop increase cancer rates. It is not healthy now and not healthy later in life.
It's not soy products or the air. Its the processed foods we eat every day. I noticed that when my parents grow their own food in the backyard my niece and nephew looks like kids compared to other children who are like five and look like they are almost ten. Start feeding them healthier foods and they will develop when their bodies is ready, if you feed them that crappy processed food from stores then they will develop quicker.
My daughter is 12 years old. We have fed her a diet which consisted of very few processed foods, meat and animal milk. Although, she was not raised as a vegetarian we consume very little meat in our home. She is just recently beginning to develop. My sisters daughter is 11 months older than mine. Her diet consisted of meat, packaged foods, fast foods and whole cows milk. She began to grow breasts at 7 and started menses at 10. Everyone in our family has concluded that its what you feed the children that speeds up their development. Simple as that. The animal products are doing harm to our young girls and need to be limited.

Oh I am glad for the 64 bit build to be sure, but this will not result in revolutionary performance gains. It does future proof wows platform for its foreseeable future though. Easier performance gains can be had by installing to a solid state drive and making sure your addons are reasonable and compatible.

Some of the benefits of turning 18… enjoying good wine.
… celebrating with your favourite people - Mum & Dad
… and creating my own art of glasses
I'm finding it quite hard to write about me, because I'm only 17. So at this stage you probably know just as much as I do!
What I love about modelling is shooting editorials, because I get a chance to be creative and play a character and I especially love when that character is from a fantasy rather than something you encounter every day. My main interest, high school, recently ended for me, so now I'm discovering what I really enjoy.
I like to read a lot, mainly dystopian-science-fiction, horror and classics. I love having fun like a kid: theme parks, dressing up (as in costumes), picnics, camping, exploring, climbing trees and games (board games and carnival games and physical games…not mind games). I love music, but I know nothing about current bands.
My main love is art and I have a fascination with street art in any form. I'm also very into drawing and photography, and have just started learning poi.
What is your Starsign? Aries. (But I'm not sure if I believe in that.)
Favourite Meal? My mum's vegan carrot cake cup cakes, carob chips, and cherries dipped in dark chocolate.
Favourite place? Bleecker st in New York. It has interesting people and great music stores.
Favourite book? Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
What are you listening to? I like grunge, and The Stone Roses.
What site are you going to most? Supervegan.com, it's a vegan restaurant guide to New York.

Chatting with Simon Lock at RAFW Press Conference
My lovely mum, Kathy Ward (Chic PR manager) & me at the Press Conference.
Getting my hair & make up done by Wayne Chick here at the agency, then it is off to Rosemount Australia Fashion Week press conference. Watching @modelfeed on Twitter and keeping an eye on the #RAFW updates.
I spent my 18th birthday half in New York.. and half in London. That night my friend Dan showed me the sights around my hotel, and we got to look
at some of the exhibits through the windows. There was a Takashi Murakami exhibit, with really cute paintings (above and below) and a movie playing that featured the characters from the paintings being terrorised by a "giant poop!"
The other exhibit we saw was by Mauro Peruccheti. He makes sculptures, (the last two images below) out of molded acrylic with Swarovski crystals, metal and found objects.
Me. Imogen. Katie… they're also with Next in New York….

Before & After: Washi Switch Plates
Crab + Fish
Light switch plates aren't something I give much thought to. Until I see a really cute one. Mari, who blogs at Crab + Fish, used washi tape (the craft material du jour) to transform plain light switch plates in her home. It's simple, cheap and super renter-friendly.
As you can see, she didn't just do one or two switch plates, she liked the look so much that she kind of just kept on going. Each plate, she says, only takes minutes and the only materials you need are washi tape, scissors and a screwdriver.
Check out her post at Crab + Fish for plenty of step-by-step photos and her tips for making the corners nice and smooth.

Your mother did this back in the 80's ;)
Love it!! One day I will be as ambitious as you :)
The place that I just moved into had this done on random outlet plates. It was a scary 80's wallpaper pattern, and didn't match the paint color. I removed them at once!
When I bought my condo, every time I went to Target, I bought one or two of the wall plates that cover the light switches and electric sockets. I bought the nice ones that looked like good trim. 3 or 4 months later I had replaced all of the plates without feeling the pinch of buying them all at once. It really made an improvement.
I prefer, by far, the plain old switch in the Before pictures. But, what bothers me is that the screws are not aligned. Yap, I am THAT anal.
Canadian Mango -
I'm the same way!!
Just moved into a new place and bought all new switch plates. All my screws orient North/South. And there's nothing wrong with that :-)
CanadianMango...wow. I think you would explode if you walked into my home.
I hate having to replace the switch/plug covers because some previous tenant did something like this. Gotta agree with Gillianne on this!
I am confused? Where is the clapper? LOL
Personally, light switch and electric outlet covers are an extension of the decor of the place, just as much as crown molding or chair rails. When someone covers the plate with some weird color or glues wallpaper to it, or whatever their design taste is, it will have to be replaced by the next tenant, renter or owner. It is a matter of personal style, not a design element.
And if they do this to the light switches, do they do it to the outlet covers as well?
I've seen some really nice mosaic'd covers. For one example: http://www.etsy.com/listing/101119687/gold-grey-and-lavender-mosaic-switch?ref=v1_other_1
That is super fun. Another fun use for washi tape!!
Well, they look nice and neat, but I'm in the "leave them white to match the room trim" contingency. I don't consider light switches decor.
This is right up there with painting your kitchen drain strainer a 'pretty color'. Switchplates are not art THAT much.
Thank you!
Thank you everyone for your comments and opinions! I will work on straightening all my switchplate screws. :)

Katy Perry is doing her best impersonation of a virginial Indian bride ahead of her wedding with Russell Brand, wearing a traditional nasal ring upon arriving in the country.
The superstar couple are expected to wed in Jaipur on Saturday in a lavish ceremony at Ramburgh Palace where Brand popped the question on New Year's Eve.
They were seen jetting into the Indian city yesterday with Katy wearing a nath - a traditional nose ring attached by a gold chain to a woman's hair above her ear.
The nath is meant to be worn throughout the wedding day, with the groom removing it on the wedding night as a symbol of the woman's virginity ending.
Having tamed notorious pants man Brand, perhaps this is Katy's attempt to be a born-again virgin?
Around 85 people are expected at the nuptials including Rihanna, David Walliams and Jonathan Ross. Guests have already started arriving.
Reports suggest there will be five parties in the lead up to the big event and that guests will be taken on a safari.
Rihanna is to be Katy's maid-of-honour and P Diddy is expected to perform, while Katy will apparently dress in traditional Indian bridal gear with Henna-ed hands.
Brand has said the wedding won't be a circus.
"It will have a first dance, it will have all of them things, like anything else," he has said.
"It's no more interesting or no less spectacular than any marriage of anybody, so it's very beautiful and incredible and wonderful, but it's also utterly mundane."
With Rihanna and P Diddy at the party, we're betting it will be anything but mundane.

Andy McKenna And His Big Money Obama Supporters
January 31, 2010 | Filed Under Campaign Finance, Chicago, Cook County, Democrats/Leftists, Elections, GOP, Illinois, Liberals, Republicans, State Government, Warner Todd Huston | 1 Comment
-By Warner Todd Huston
Former Illinois Republican Party Chairman Andy McKenna is trying to claim he is an "outsider businessman" and that he's the only one not connected to Illinois corruption. But the facts seem to auger against McKenna's claims.
For one thing, McKenna has been called out for ethics violations by his own party. On top of that, how does one claim to be an "outsider" when one was the head of the state party!? That's a couple of major dents in McKenna's claims right there.
But now comes info from the Ryan campaign that Andy McKenna also has a ton of donors and supporters that are big Obama supporters, too. Now, how can someone claim to be the conservative solution to Springfield if he's getting hundreds of thousands of dollars from Democrat and Obama supporters?
In fact, this puts another dent in his "outsider" claim. He's more of an insider than a mere GOP stalwart because he's also obviously in the pocket of the Democrats.
Andy McKenna is spending considerable amount of money portraying himself as more of a Republican than his opponents. He has given special attention to Kirk Dillard and his ad for Barack Obama.
But voters in Illinois should not be fooled: Andy McKenna has a huge connection to Barack Obama and the Democratic Party as well.
Click here to view a spreadsheet of Andy McKenna's Obama Donors.
- McKenna has 97 donors who gave $444,950 to Obama in recent election cycles.
- Those same donors gave McKenna $432,400 from July 1, 2009 to Jan. 22, 2010.
- Those same donors gave $269,908 to other Democrats like Harry Reid, Rahm Emanuel, Charles Shumer, Hillary Clinton, Alexi Giannoulias and the Democratic National Committee.
Certainly I am no Jim Ryan fan. He stands against our Constitutional right to self-protection. But he has some excellent points against McKenna here.
