This interview was conducted in Fall 2012 by Mira Kruger, the granddaughter of a PH patient and a volunteer writer for PHA's Pathlight newsletter.
I live in Grass Valley, Calif.
I am 14 years old.
My mom says I was diagnosed as a baby, and I have been on oxygen since birth.
I was symptomatic at birth. My mom says I was a very sick baby. When I was little, I would turn blue even if my mom took off my oxygen just to change my shirt. I am much better now since I am on the medicines TracleerTM and sildenafil, but I still get short of breath easily and I still wear oxygen all the time. Sometimes I get dizzy, and I run out of energy faster than a lot of my friends.
I like riding my bike and playing baseball and basketball. I also love to read and I especially like looking at maps.
I do get frustrated when I can't keep up in sports or carry heavy things, and sometimes I get tired of having to wear my oxygen. I can't carry my tank upstairs, and it is hard to walk on uneven ground and carry my oxygen.
I have always had PH, so I don't know any other way of living.
Hang in there. I have a really good life despite my PH, and you can too.

I've been one of the those roller coaster weight losers. I'll be down a few pounds one week just to gain it back two fold two weeks later. I gained most of my weight after I was injured, and going through three surgeries and was at home and couldn't exercise. Due to my injuries exercising was the last thing on my mind. I puffed up big time which doesn't do anything positive for my back and right knee. ( injuries). I heard good thing about a certain liquid drop which added with a very low calorie intake can lead to rapid weight loss. It's mainly for obese folks like me. I needed to jump start my metabolism and restart the way I thought of food mentally. I did choose the Diet liquids from GNC that are safer and don't involve those unsafe hormone injections. I spoke to the owner of the store and he stated that the liquid has had better results than the pills. It is absorbed quicker. I know Being heavily overweight hurts my back and knee's more plus i want to make I don't turn diabetic. I want to be around when my son gets older. Plus I want to be able to hunt longer without having to stop every 200 yards....Plus the Smaller sized hunting clothes cost less to buy. lol.
Anyways, I'm on my 5th day of this very low calorie diet. I was worried at first but it isn't has bad as it sounded. The hardest part is that I can't drink any cola not even Coke Zero. That was my legal food drug of choice. I never counted Calories before and I used to make fun of those people...Now I'm one of them. but now i understand why they do it. basically I can't eat nothing for breakfast but coffee, tea or water. I can have as much of that as I want. 250 calories for lunch and 350 calories for Dinner. 4 Ounces of lean protein for lunch and another 4 ounces for dinner. But for Dinner I can have one Melba toast or grassini. I never knew what a Melba toast was or a Grassini until I started this Diet. Grassini is a little skinny Italian bread stick. After each meal I have to write down the calories for each item I consume and keep a tally of all of it in my little "Diet Minder" Journal. I'm not supposed to go over 500 but I'm averaging 570 calories a day. It sounds difficult and time consuming but it gets much better as the days pass by. The diets cycle is forty days and I believe i will make it.
I was 286 pounds when I started and after the 5th day I am now 271 pounds. I'm trying to loss 50 pounds on the first cycle then I have to stop the diet for a couple weeks before I start another cycle. My wight loss goal is 210. That's the Weight I was at when I was a C/O prior to getting injured on the job. I took pics for my "before" for the Diet journal. Maybe one day when i get brave enough...I might post it up here for all to see the difference. One of the hard parts is when i have to go into a restaurant or a fast food joint. The menu choice gets small. When went into a Carl's Jr and I looked for the Nutritional Chart. i think the average calorie of one of their burgers was about 800-900 Calories. Heck!. That's about 2 days worth of calories for me. that's not even counting the Fries and soda pop. I ended up with a salad with chicken with no dressing, a medium sized fresh brewed tea with no sugar. I think i need to recalibrate my mind more than my mouth. Buying a 8 ounce drink instead of 40 ouncer, etc. I did buy some GNC Vitamins to supplement my diet. I'm already feeling much better, sleeping better. I'm hoping to add on to this thread with more positive news 30 days from now. The guys on AT recommended that I buy those Vibram five finger shoes ( Minimalist) for walking. I can't jog due to my injuries So I will be adding some fast walking in the next week or so.

Corporate Resiliency: Managing the Growing Risk of Fraud and Corruption
The 21st century global economy brings cheaper sources of supply and huge new markets, but also exposes companies to much greater risks and consequences of fraud and corruption. As a result of greater enforcement around the world, global media attention and changing attitudes of consumers, fraud and corruption can now cost companies billions and destroy or severely damage their reputation.
A Chapter 1 excerpt "Can We Eliminate Fraud and Corruption?" is available to download above.
Profiles: About the Authors
- Toby Bishop, director of the Deloitte Forensic Center for Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP
- Frank Hydoski, director for the Analytic and Forensic Technology practice of Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP
Thought leaders Toby Bishop and Frank Hydoski argue that this scenario can make many companies more vulnerable to serious loss. They make a business case for boards and senior executives to adopt a fraud and corruption risk management strategy that can reduce vulnerability while increasing the ability to bounce back if fraud or corruption occurs.
"Corporate Resiliency: Managing the Growing Risk of Fraud and Corruption" is written for members of boards of directors and audit committees, senior executives, those who advise or report to them and those responsible for managing fraud and corruption risks. It describes, in plain English terms, a proactive fraud and corruption risk management process that can enhance corporate resiliency.
The authors provide practical insights and highlight traps to avoid. Quotes from their interviews of business executives provide international perspectives regarding changes in fraud and corruption risks and techniques companies are adopting to deal with them.
This solutions-centered book includes:
- Reducing risk management surprises through better fraud and corruption risk assessment approaches
- Using four different risk management strategies for the "Fears, Fires, Fleas and Flaws" segments of your fraud and corruption risks
- Preventive and detective controls including continuous controls monitoring and transaction monitoring
- Preparing in advance for potential fraud and corruption investigations and remediation
- The roles of different parties in fraud and corruption risk management (including yours)
- A corporate resiliency self-assessment tool you can use to assess your company
In the 21st century global economy, companies need to be more than smart and fast. They also need to be resilient. "Corporate Resiliency" shows you steps your company can take toward resiliency by identifying your fraud and corruption risks and deploying strategies for managing those risks proactively.
Praise for "Corporate Resiliency: Managing the Growing Risk of Fraud and Corruption"
"Fraud and corruption have been with us forever, but happily there is growing realization that these crimes undermine trust in government, companies and markets alike. Toby Bishop and Frank Hydoski do not just recognize the problem, but clearly set out ways and means for dealing with it."
— Paul A. Volcker, former Federal Reserve Chairman and Chairman of the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board
"Corporate Resiliency offers managers and directors a holistic approach to the management of fraud and corruption risk that speaks to the same measures of productivity and profitability used in more conventional business processes. It walks the reader through the relationships among the board of directors, the audit committee, senior management and staff in the process of fraud risk management, with a clear eye toward the intent and direction of fast-changing legislation and regulatory guidance."
— From the foreword by Mark G. Califano, Esq., Head of Litigation, GE Capital Finance
"At a time of rising public demand for good corporate conduct, Corporate Resiliency is a welcome resource for those seeking to manage fraud and corruption risks. Toby Bishop and Frank Hydoski provide a highly operational roadmap for assessing risk and preventing, detecting and responding to fraud and corruption when it does occur."
— Nancy Zucker Boswell, President and CEO, Transparency International USA
"If you need a view of fraud and corruption from the top, this is your book. Bishop and Hydoski do an excellent job of explaining to executives why fraud and corruption are such serious issues for organizations, how we got where we are and how to prevent and detect the devastating fallout from these crimes. A terrific read."
— Joseph T. Wells, CFE, CPA, Founder and Chairman, Association of Certified Fraud Examiners

- LARGE: Hat Size - 7-1/8" - 7-1/2"
- X-LARGE: Hat Size - 7-1/2" - 8"
- NOTE: If measurement falls between sizes, choose the smaller size or insert thicker comfort pads

Rated 5 out of 5�by TC Great fitting helmet! Excellent protection! Good look! My 9 year old daughter loves how it fits. Older brother likes it as well. Excellent value for what you get! The chinstrap is well made and built to last the long haul! I recommend this product fully! August 14, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5�by toto997 Best Helmet Ever This is the best helmet, great protection, perfect size, just had to a comfort pad to fit perfectly, the only thing i dont like is that the jaw pads hurt a little the first practices, but excelletn football helmet February 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dalton #24 Confortable and Safe! Super product! I feel much more comfortable and safe! Dalton September 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mr. Miller Youth Football What a great purchase! This helmet will allow my son to enjoy a safe and fun season. September 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mike My son loves this helmet! I ordered this helmet for my son. It's a size small. He is 6 years old about 43 lbs. He complained about the helmet that the local organization gave him. He said that it hurt his head. We tried the next size up and that was just too big. So I ordered the X2 online. When it arrived, I put it on him, adjusted the straps for the chin guard(which is designed great by the way. It actually stays on his chin when adjusted right. His old helmets the chinstrap use to slide up to his mouth or down near his throat. This one actually stays on his chin.) He doesn't complain about the helmet at all now. Which is good, because at the age of 6 it's already hard for any kid to focus and pay attention to his coach, let alone having a headache and constantly complaining. The only negative thing I can say is that they are not clear for the sizing of the helmet. It was a guessing game for me, but luckily I guessed right. August 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by jw great product! Great youth helmet. The fit is great and the fit system is even better. Delivery time was excellent. August 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tim Love this helmet I bought this helmet for my 11 year old son and he loves it. It fits very nicely and provides expected head protection. August 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by fyrman Best Best helmet produced in the past 30 years. Excellent fit, comfort and protection. Would not put my son in anything else. August 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by skrugz Best safety and fitting helmet hands down! The helmet has a better safety design and fit than helmets twice the price. The adjustable pads make the helmet fit the head better than any helmet with fixed cheek pads. Great helmet. After showing our coach, he said it will be the standard helmet for next year even if they need to do fund raisers to help offset the cost... August 2, 2013

text: For years my daughter has been going along with me on my hunts. She has even called in many turkeys and elk but she has never carried a weapon. After shooting last years bird she said, "That's it, I'm getting my hunter safety and your calling for me." Well she passed her hunter safety last week and she will hunt for her first time in April. I will carry my bow and she will carry my shotgun. It could be a first for the both of us; I still have never shot anything with my bow and she hopefully will get her first turkey.

So I recently bought gold tip velocity hunters, I cut them down to size, inserted and fletched with orange and white blazers. Did 6 this way, anyway finished weight is 306 gr. They fly great! Had an 1.5 inch group at 25 yds with them, I'm usually 2.5 inches at that distance. They hit 3 inches high from where I was sigted at 25 yds. I was shooting 360gr arrows. I went from 255 to 276 fps! They shoot fast, and accurate, and just as quiet. I love it! I'm so happy with them. I should have 51lb of kenetic energy so should be plenty for deer.I bought hot pink blazers to go with the white for the ones I will use to hunt. The orange and white are for practice.
Anyway I resighted in the 25 yd pin by moving the whole sight up, havent checked my 35 yd yet. I only keep 2 pins, one 25 and 35. Not sure if the set yds will be different since its shooting flatter. If its flatter then I think I may just put one pin for 30, and if I'm not 8" high at 10 or 15 yds I may get rid of the second pin. I dont think I feel comfortable shooting at a deer farther then 30 yds anyway.
I absolutely love my bowtech equalizer. We put it on the scale thinking it was set at 60lbs from the guy I bought it from. It was set at 53 lbs, has a little harder draw cycle then my old exile. I have a 26" draw, and with 306gr arrows I'm at 276. I'm thrilled, it so much faster then the exile, quiter as well, and seems to shoot so much flatter. For being a t rex with short arms I feel like 276 is smokin'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the RetroSound R-693N by Charlie Pastorfield Why replace your car's original speakers? The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience. Some cars make it tough to replace your speakers, but RetroSound designed the RetroMod® Series R-693N 6"x9" 3-way speakers to fit in just about any vehicle. These speakers use a compact, powerful neodymium magnet structure to keep mounting depth to an impressive 1.78" inches, while still allowing these speakers to handle plenty of power up to 100 watts RMS. They'll deliver strong performance powered by a car stereo or an outboard amplifier. RetroSound builds each speaker around a low-carbon, black steel basket, using a treated paper woofer cone, a Santoprene™ rubber surround, and a Mylar tweeter and supertweeter. Translation? These speakers will stand the test of time in your vehicle, shrugging off damage from moisture or temperature extremes. Whether you're customizing an older vehicle or just looking for some nice replacements, these RetroSound speakers will fit the bill.

Midrange/Tweeters: The tweeter and midrange are low profile Mylar domes. Neodymium Magnets: The N series speakers feature neodymium magnets. Because neodymium produces a much stronger magnetic field than ferrite (of the same size), the magnet size and mounting depth are substantially reduced.

This low profile speaker has very good high and mid range performance and good bass. I got this for my girlfriend's 09 sentry front doors and she can hear clearer vocals and better all around sound compared to the 20w factory speakers. The sentra's mounting setup didn't require low profile speaker as the application chart said, but otherwise happy with the speakers. Pros: Good sound and easy installation. Cons: Had to trim a couple tabs off the speakers to fit the door adapter. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Perfect fit/sound Written By Just me, Waterbury on Saturday, May 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Perfect fit and great sound for my 2010 Nissan Sentra. Were the only speakers shallow enough to fit my car's 2.5 in front door panel depth without compromising sound quality. They sound great with my pioneer avh 3500. I'm very happy with this purchase. Pros: Depth size, outstanding sound quality, good price Cons: Now I have to buy better speakers for the rear to match the sound quality of these! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 RetroSound R-693N speakers hard to install Written By Jim M, Sacramento CA on Monday, June 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I do like the sounds from them after they are installed inside an enclosure. Before installing under a dashboard they sound very tinny, metal-like. The installation under the d ash was very difficult because the mounting-holes in the speaker did NOT align correctly with the mounting bolts on the car. the speaker 'holes' were about 1/8 inch off from the bolts. I needed to redrill and expand the existing screw-holes in the speaker to match-up with the car bolts. The holes are the 4-corrner-holes that needed re-alignment. Pros: sound is so far, so good Cons: the 4-corner mounting-holes on the speaker do not align with all 4 bolts under the dash. I needed to re-drill (expand) 3 of the 4 speaker-holes to align and mount the speaker. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Low Profile Retrosound Speakers Written By Anonymous, St. Louis, Mo on Sunday, May 15, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are very low profile and fit into the rear factory speaker locations in my 1981 Corvette. The sound is good, but not exceptional. Perfect solution if you don't want to modify to fit deeper speakers, which is the case with most aftermarked speakers. I tried Polk Audo's and they wouldn't fit. These are a great compromise. Highly recommend if you have space problems and want an upgrade over factory speakers. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Movie aficionados will remember the scene from "The Graduate" where the main character, Benjamin Braddock, is at a lavish party thrown by his parents, receiving career advice from the wellheeled guests. A man takes him aside and says there is just one word to consider: plastics.
Things have changed since the movie was released in 1967. Today, the best career advice might be summed up in one word: agriculture.
"Agriculture is the plastics of the modern era," former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman told those attending a Future of Food Summit last June in Washington, D.C.
Glickman and others referenced the challenge ahead of feeding a burgeoning world population.
The challenge is to increase food production by 70 percent over the next 40 years. Many knowledgeable people, like Glickman, believe the challenge can be met.
Growth industry
According to Glickman, the world population will increase from about 7 billion now to 9.3 to 9.5 billion by the year 2050. This will require a lot more food — 70 percent more, by many accounts, since higher living standards will increase demand by a higher percentage than just the population growth alone.
For years, Glickman pointed out, U.S. food policy centered on surpluses and what do to with them. Now, the surpluses have dwindled and food supplies are much tighter. "We are no longer in a period of massive surpluses like we have been," Glickman said.
It will open up new challenges and opportunities.
Chris Policinski, president of Land O'Lakes and another speaker at the Food Summit, agreed with Glickman's assessment of the situation, saying that agriculture will probably be the "greatest growth industry of our era."
Potential strategies
How does agriculture feed all of the people without ripping up the soil and tearing down the forests in a huge land grab? Glickman asked.
For years, agriculture has been able to improve productive capacity — and that will need to continue.
Since 1960, the average U.S. farm has increased productivity by six-fold, says Samuel Allen, chairman of Deere & Co., the farm implement company. It's all about getting more production out of each acre of land.
Many examples are unfolding around the world.
In Brazil, where rainforests have been cut down to create more pasture land, farmers are keeping the soil in production — despite the fact the soil is very acidic and can degrade — by treating it with limestone and phosphorus. This has helped relieve pressure on the rainforests. The rate of deforestation in the Amazon region has dropped significantly — from 27,423 square kilometers in 2004 to 6,450 square kilometers in 2010.

We need to get this back up and running. I can only hold just so many swaps with Me and Myself. They are just too picky and Myself stays in time out a lot!!
HI Ladies. Hope all are getting better. Does any one want to host the next swap? I will but if any wants to, go for it!! The due date can be due as far as the 4th of Dec. If all swaps are in before that, great, they will get mailed early.
1. Does anyone want to do a secret sister swap.
2. Does anyone want to do a card sawp.
3. Does anyone want to do a tag swap.
4. Does anyone want to do ??? swap
Or we can do one of the above and whatever suggestions of what ya'll come up with.
Do we have enough to do a BINGO game. I have played this with just 4 people
Do we have enough to do a Pay It Forward game.
Do you have a game you would like to play.
Think about it
Marsha..You have seen some of my cards, you don't need to worry about it. Go online and google cards. you will find some of the most simple cards. The same with tags. My hands shake and a lot of my things may not be even or straight, so please join in and have fun. I really like talking to you. So please jump in and show us your projects.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Shirl505,
I never walk alone, He is always with me.
Hi Shirley!! We have had company here so I have been overwhelmed with work keeping things in order and pets in check. This is the first time in 6 years we have had company and it had to be a person myself and the dogs to NOT care for!! But soon he will leave and we can all feel like ourselves again
I may be interested in a swap but unsure what kind. I get into trouble with ones that are too specific as I have stuff to work with but cannot always find it when I need it...if anyone knows how that goes!! Plus not having the funds to just go but what I need. I don't know what the Pay it Forward game is. I don't get into the games much because I am not always sure when I will have computer time and sometimes I don't get the rules...just I am easily confused alot of the time. I know I sound like like a real freak, but at least I know my faults
So when it is known what kind of swap and when it will be due, then I can give a for sure yes or no to join. I only get paid once a month and HAVE to know enough ahead of time to have the $ set aside to mail.
I hope you are doing Well Shirley! Has stuff mellowed out at your place so you can relax some? I will try to stop in here more often to see what is up!
Rubberstamping makes the world more colorful!!
Hi, have been thinking about swaps and I am looking to do a tag swap or recipe swap~ 8 1/2 or smaller decorated recipe. This time of year cookies and candy are yummy but other types of recipes are good too. anyone want to swap recipes? Or individual recipe swap with me if there are not many takers, we would each pay our own shipping to each other on the individual.
Rubberstamping makes the world more colorful!!
Sounds good to me. NOW, how do we get our swappers back on the board.!!!
I never walk alone, He is always with me.
Maybe set it up, make a due date and see who shows up to join? I am unsure what to do to get people back here except if we are having a fun swap, how could other people not want to join. We just have to catch them while they are here...maybe put some bling out that always attracts scrappers As long as there is at least a month before the due date I can handle it. It would be cool too if people said what the recipe was, so we don't have more than one doing the same recipe if it is a recipe swap. Just sayin; I keep talking about the recipes because I love cooking and baking so much, but if others want a different swap that's alright too.
Rubberstamping makes the world more colorful!!
Janet, are you gonna host the swap? If it is just me and you, we can do...5 each??. You can say what kind and set the due date as far out as you want.
Stop twisting my arm, if yu don't want to I will lol
I never walk alone, He is always with me.
I would love to join in a swap.
We just bought a new house and are in the process of gutting it, and at the same time we are painting and fixing up our current house so that we can get it on the market. I am going crazy! Most of my SB stuff is in storage, so I have been buying more stuff to scrap with. I don't have much to work with. I think a recipe swap would work well for me, if I can find my recipes!
I keep checking the board, but there hasn't been any action, I was kind of afraid that it was dead, so it is really nice to see people posting again.
May God Bless You Abundantly!
Hi Kathie. OK, lets get this swap going. Janet, am I taking this away from you, I really don't mine hosting. If you want, we can do this,??
Group 1 – Crockpot Meal or a Tags
Group 2 – One Pan Meal or a Page Title
Group 3 - Desserts or a Card Swap
Group 4 – Family Favorite or a ?????
Now this is from another board swap that I was in. We can put any kind of receipes that we want, I think we had a swap like this here but I can not find it.
So ladies what do you want to do? What swap and who wants to host
OK now, I am gonna run hard to get this board going AGAIN
I never walk alone, He is always with me.
Do you mean that we could send in a page title or a recipe for a one pan meal etc? That is an interesting idea.
May God Bless You Abundantly!
Well Kathie, now that you mentioned it, I am not real sure what I did
I was trying to show that we could have just a reciepe swap or just a tag swap or just page title swap or just a card swap. I was trying to show how to list the groups. So why I listed it the way I did..who knows.
BUT.. the way you read it does make for a interesting idea.
Help us out ladies, want to it in a different way..step of the block, out of our comfont zone.
Me, Myself and I are ready to go. Do with what you have, I am a simple scrapper, I dress up when the call to do so comes, but I like simple
I never walk alone, He is always with me.
I really like the idea of anything goes. My mind is already racing (not that it ever stops, especially at night!). Count me in whichever way it goes. I do not remember any swaps like this before.
May God Bless You Abundantly!
Holy Cow when You take charge you nearly knocked me down Shirley! LOL!! Just kidding, you didn't knock me down!
I like the recipes tho so I personally would chose to do those instead of the tags, cards or page titles. Just my opinion tho, but when is the due date? I was hoping for at least a month to complete them once we know what we are doing. BUT if there was some of those other things too, I may be wanting to join those also(cards, tags) I am horrible at making up my mind about most things, it can be awful when I try
Also I would host if you don't want to, but don't want to take it away from anybody. I don't mind hosting either but am not on the board every day most of the time. We do have a snow watch this Saturday night tho, so if it starts snowing I may get more time to be on the computer!! (I know, I am not going to hold my breath on that one but it could happen)

Looks great!
Romantic Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets I was very happy with the magnet I received. As well as all of the other material I received about invitations and such.
So impressed!
Romantic Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets We loved the base design and fell MORE in love with our save the date once we started customizing it. They came out MUCH better than we ever expected- great quality from the save the date itself, to the foil lined envelope, and even the packaging (who doesn't love opening a tiffany-esque blue box?!)- they were all fantastic.
So cute!

BMC Racing Team's Ivan Santaromita made a bid to beat the field to the finish of Sunday's opening stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné after a solo breakaway stole the day.
Caught Near The Finish
Santaromita attacked less than three kilometers from the finish of the 121 km race that had already seen David Veilleux (Team Europcar) solo out of a four-man breakaway to win by nearly two minutes. "I looked at the finale this morning before the race and thought it was a good place for an attack to get second place," Santaromita said. "So about one kilometer before the top of the final climb, I tried. Sky pulled and caught me with 400 meters to the finish. I think I have good shape coming out of the Giro d'Italia, so we can try for the next stages." BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Yvon Ledanois said he was surprised the peloton let the four escapees gain a lead of nearly 10 minutes. "For the teams who had GC hopes - like Movistar with Alejandro Valverde - 10 minutes was a lot of time," he said. "But it's perfect for us. We have four riders who are at least five minutes down, so it's good opportunity tomorrow for the breakaway." Dominik Nerz (26th) and Santaromita (42nd) were the two BMC Racing Team riders who finished in the peloton, which arrived 1:57 after Veilleux.

Thought I had this in here, but couldn't find it.
Presley's Outdoors in home the biggest Indoor Tournament in Illinois and has been running for a handfull of years. Max number of shooters is around 275 as that's all they can handle. Some big names take in this Indoor event, Chance Beaubuff one of notables. Kevin Koch, ASA Pro and ASA Rookie of the Year a couple of years back and many more.
Now, Presley's has started a Indoor 3D Tournament. 30 Rinehart targets, counting center 12, 10, 8, 5 and 0 scoring. To get to the Shoot Down there are 3 Qualifiers and the 2 best are taken for moving to the Shoot Down. There are only 2 Divisions, Money and Trophy. No classes, no age groups, no nothing. It's a "shoot what ya brung." Each Qualifier is $20 for Money and $10 for Trophy as is the Shoot down round.
Of the Shoot Down, it is a "head to head" competition thing. Both divisions are broken down, one half at 8:30 am and the second half at 10:30 am. As I understand the top two shooters of the first half then shoot it out with the top two shooters of the second half to detrimine 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. I would guess the Money Division is the same way.
Well, I shot the first Qualifier and placed 6th. I shot the 2nd Qualifer and my then average ranked me 7th. I shot the 3rd Qualifer and of course I had equipment failure, my 3rd ever and then average ranked me 13th.
Now for the "head to head" thing. I have never shot this type event, the head to head part anyway. You are paired with another shooter, so it's a one against one thing and several pairs shooting it out.
I was paired with EJ and we shot darned descent. EJ shot 8 up for a 88 and I shot 4 up for a 84. Our scores beat every one else in the second around. I had gotten a Bi and EJ had gotten a Bi. Regardless of shooting second high overall score, I was eliminated after the seond row.
There was this awesome kid, 12 or 13 maybe. He was eliminated on the next to last Shoot Down. The little tyke shot a 77. EJ, who I shot against moved to the final Shoot down, winning with a score of 80.
I left after the second half was about half done. I was done from getting up at 5:00 am and driving the 30 miles to Presley's. I and packed it in and went home. So I don't know how the Trophy Division finished.
Lucky me did get a door prize, a Trophy Taker X-treme SL - full capture drop rest. So the door prize was worth a bit more than my entry fee.

How To Cook a Steak: 15 Recipes for a Weeknight Valentine's Meal
Recipe Roundup
No matter who you're with this Valentine's evening, you probably want a meal that is simple yet a treat — something easy to pull together after work, a meal to make you sink into the enjoyment of a quiet evening at home. Here are some suggestions for you: Foolproof instructions for cooking a perfect steak, and a dish of creamy pasta with lemon and hazelnuts. There are some quick, no-cook appetizers, a boozy cup of mocha, and a fizzy pink cocktail. And dessert, of course — the best brownies we know how to make, and a chocolate mousse to dream over. Oh, and real crème brûlée. If that doesn't get you in a Valentine's mood we don't know what will!
If there was any night to eat at home, Valentine's would be it. Restaurants are packed, in spite of their overpriced and often boring menus (Valentine's is not a night to trot out your most interesting dishes). Valentine's Day falls on a Tuesday this year, too — not the best night for eating out. We ask you: isn't it more romantic and pleasurable to stay in, cozy with a glass of wine at your own table? This goes for all of us — folks with a romantic attachment, old or new, to celebrate, as well as those of us planning some indulgent time alone. Or perhaps you're gathering with a little group of friends? These recipes will give pleasure and satisfaction.

Braised Lamb Shanks & Root Vegetable Puree goes to the wrong link. . .
Whoopsie! Fixed. Thanks!
A simple flaming dessert: Southern Comfort Ball
Ingredients: Vanilla Ice Cream, Shredded Coconut, Southern Comfort (Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey).
Take a double scoop of ice cream for each serving (strawberry if you want pink), make it into a ball, roll in coconut. Place coconut balls in freezer (on smooth or wax paper-lined plate) until ready to serve. To serve: In the kitchen put balls in glass dishes, pour Southern Comfort over each ball and light them. Use a tray or platter to carry the flaming desserts. Turn lights down low for your entrance.
Optional: Soak halved strawberries in SC, chill, then add just before flaming.
Easy, romantic and sexy.
@claudette49. Wonderful idea. I've used a melon scooper before to make the ice cream balls and rolled them in toasted coconut before placing them on a tray like you do before freezing. When ready to serve, I place several in each glass and then slightly drizzled with melted chocolate.
I love the idea of flaming them. But using such small balls probably wouldn't work as well. It's kind of a go between, using small balls with the toasted coconut and sauce, or larger scoops that when flamed, will warm the coconut a bit and not melt the ice cream too much. Of course the visual presentation of flaming them sounds awesome and very romantic.
very good receipe!
i like it and also try it to my home for my wife.
We did a filet mignon and sauteed shallots and mushrooms in butter. Simple and amazing!

The BMC Racing Team has signed reigning Danish national road champion Sebastian Lander, President/General Manager Jim Ochowicz announced Thursday.
Past Junior World Track Champion
Ochowicz said though Lander is only 21, he has already demonstrated his potential. "We are pleased to have Sebastian joining our team," Ochowicz said. "He is an extremely talented young rider with many skills and he will be a great asset to the BMC Racing Team in the coming years." Lander took up competitive cycling in 2004 and has raced for continental teams since 2010. As a member of the Danish Glud & Marstrand-LRØ squad this year, he has won more than half a dozen races, including a stage of Coupe des nations Ville Saguenay (Under 23) and the overall classification of the Post Cup. A junior world champion in the points race on the track in 2009, Lander was eighth in the Under 23 world championship road race in 2010.
Versatile Rider
BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said Lander's versatility is impressive. "He's a good finisher and a puncheur, but also good in selective races like Liège-Bastogne-Liège Under 23 (a race in which he finished third in 2010)," Lelangue said. "We're not going to ask him to immediately make results. He'll be there to learn from our world champion and a past Tour de France winner and from our big classic guys. Those guys are there to make results and if they do, he'll learn from them." Lander said he is excited by the prospect of joining a team filled with so many talented and veteran riders. "I want to keep improving, get stronger and hope I am the best teammate possible," he said. "I'll also be looking for some small successes myself, so if I can try to be there in some of the finishes, it could be very great."
