Very big news exploding across the papers yesterday. Eating genetically engineered (GE) corn has been strongly linked to serious health effects — including mammary tumors, kidney and liver damage. A team of European scientists yesterday released the first independent long-term animal feeding study of its kind on the health effects of eating GE foods in the peer-reviewed journal Food and Chemical Toxicology.
This week an article has been making the rounds in the press under the auspices of an objective policy assessment. "California's Proposition 37: Effects of Mandatory Labeling of GM food" comes out strongly against Prop 37 — the California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act — by deploying a series of specious arguments and unfounded facts.
Last week the giant German pesticide and biotech company (and largest chemical company in the world), BASF, announced its decision to pack up and flee Europe.
Why? For 13 years, ordinary Europeans have stood firm in challenging the right of biotech companies to dump their risky genetically engineered (GE) seeds onto their fields and have steadfastly rejected the intrusion of GE foods onto their plates. They built up an informed and powerful citizens' movement that has made itself heard, even over the din of the monied GE lobby. For this, hearty congratulations are due to our cousins across the Atlantic!

I teach high school metals classes and I have to say that your cuts look similar to what I see coming from my students the first couple of times they try it. Just keep working at it and you should see better results. It almost looks to me like your travel speed was a little fast. That actually is the biggest problem I have with my students, getting them to slow down and let the machine do the work. Either too high or too low a travel speed can cause dross to form.There is usually a range of travel speed that will produce dross free or minimal dross cuts. That range is something you will have to find while playing around with the machine.
Good Luck,

Sadly for me the 375 will be installed about 40 feet from the compressor, so we are gonna hard plumb air to it with pipe. Another expense, but it will cut back on the aggravation level. Probably run 1 1/2" pipe, using 4 feet of 1/2 between compressor and pipe and then between pipe and plasma cutter. If I have to I will fashion some sort of air resovoir at the plasma cutter end.

A Little Update ....
OK so we all know a cool dry air supply is important, and so is FLOW.
I have a 80 gallon compressor very capable of providing what the 375 demands and was feeding it throug 25 feet of 3/8" hose and I was satisfied with the results. Well I was curious and decoded to up the hose to 1/2".
Did it make a difference? I'll say it did.
The amount of dross I saw on some 1/4" angle was nothing compared with the 1/2" line as compared to the 3/8" line, and I wasn't really trying to get a great cut .... just a quick cut across the angle.
I set the compressor output to 90 PSI and adjusted the regulator on the 375 to the upper limit.
It DEFINITELY made the difference for me.

I ran 1 1/2 black pipe all the way around my shop, so it makes a loop and then tee'd in the supply from the compressor tank. I used 1" drops where I wanted a manifold.
I run a 1" impact with a really big manifold off two separate places in my shop. The impact has 30' of 3/4 air hose plumbed permanently to it with the male manifold coupler on the other end. I have had trouble with it breaking off 1" wheel studs (diameter not swrench size) when really hitting them hard.
thanks for the links to the spell check sites. I will go looking there. I am not very computer literate, and seem a real slow learner with this thing.

Prince George's County and some of its municipalities have been warned by a gun-rights group to change their laws regulating the carrying of firearms or face a possible lawsuit.
A portion of the county code — Sec. 14-140 — prohibits the possession of loaded firearms within 1,000 feet of houses, schools, churches, parks, places of assemblies and playgrounds.
The Second Amendment Foundation, based in Bellevue, Wash., said the code violates Maryland law, which only permits counties to regulate firearm possession 300 feet from such areas and cannot regulate gun possession near houses or playgrounds. State law on gun ownership, sales and possession preempt local ordinances, the letter states.
The nonprofit group advocates nationally for individual gun ownership rights, said Dave Workman, a foundation spokesman.
Scott Peterson, spokesman for County Executive Rushern L. Baker (D), said attorneys for the county are reviewing the group's letter and had no further comment.
Workman said the group sent similar letters to municipalities and counties in Virginia and Washington state last year as part of a pilot program aimed at letting officials know that some of their gun laws conflicted with state laws. He said the project was started for the group by a law student who lived in Virginia, which is why two Eastern states have received letters.
He said the group has yet to take legal action against any local government that was sent a letter.
Cheverly and Laurel officials confirmed receiving letters and Workman said letters were also sent to Morningside, Bladensburg, Berwyn Heights and Mount Rainier, but municipal officials said they were unaware of them.
Alan Brody, spokesman for the Maryland State Attorney General's Office, said officials there are aware of the letters, but have no legal position on them because they have not been asked for advice concerning them. He said officials are not aware of any conflicts with municipal gun laws and state law.
Pete Piringer, Laurel's director of communications and public information, said officials reviewed the letter and determined the city followed federal and state law concerning firearm regulations.
In Cheverly, the gun-rights group took issue with Section 20-4 of the town code, which prohibits the carrying or wearing of "dangerous or deadly weapons of any kind whatsoever."
Cheverly Mayor Michael Callahan said the town is ready to update the code if it is not in compliance with state law.
"Maryland has strong gun control laws, and if we need to be in accordance with Maryland gun control laws, then fine," Callahan said.
Former councilman Micah Watson criticized the group for trying to stir up a local controversy.
"The letter seems to be off base and raising an issue that is not really a relevant issue of the people of Cheverly today," Watson said. "This seems like an outside group trying to create an issue within town that, frankly, I have not heard any resident raise."

(SportsNetwork.com) - When Buffalo and Anaheim clashed last weekend, the Ducks
left town with a victory that left the Sabres winless at home on the season.
Now the Sabres are tasked with trying to hand the Ducks their first home
defeat of the campaign as the clubs get together on Friday night for a
Buffalo played host to Anaheim last Saturday prior to the start of a three-
game road trip and was bested 6-3, falling to 0-8-1 in western New York this
The Sabres managed to rebound with a big win over the San Jose Sharks on
Tuesday, just their third triumph of the season, but fell right back into the
loss column last night with a 2-0 defeat at Los Angeles.
Jhonas Enroth made 26 saves and both goals he allowed came on Kings' power
plays. He also got zero support as Buffalo was shut out for the second time in
four games and for the fourth time this season.
"We played well in the first period, had some good chances to get up," Sabres
coach Ron Rolston said. "We had some good looks in front of their goal but we
didn't finish on them and they ended up finishing on us."
Buffalo ranks 29th out of 30 teams this season with an average of just 1.61
goals per game. It has scored more than two goals in a game just five times,
one of those coming in the 6-3 loss to Anaheim.
The Sabres had a three-game series winning streak over the Ducks snapped
despite goals from Cody Hodgson, Henrik Tallinder and Tyler Myers. Enroth gave
up all six goals on 29 shots.
Ryan Miller is likely to start for the Sabres tonight and is 3-2-0 with a 1.66
goals against average in his career versus the Ducks.
Buffalo has won seven of its last 10 in Anaheim, but the Ducks are off to
their best home start in team history at 6-0-0. They won their third straight
game overall and improved to 6-0-1 in the last seven with a 5-2 win over
Phoenix on Wednesday.
Rookie defenseman Hampus Lindholm scored his first career goal and added an
assist in the victory, while fellow blueliner Cam Fowler added his first goal
of the season.
"We were definitely treating this game with tons of importance," Fowler said.
"We knew the type of roll Phoenix was on coming in here, and it seems like
nobody seems to be losing in our division right now. We understood how
important these two points were, and luckily we were able to come out and put
a good effort out there."
Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Andrew Cogliano scored and Jonas Hiller made 24
The Ducks have outscored their opponents 26-10 at home this season and are on
their longest winning streak as the hosting club since a club-record 13-game
streak from Jan. 26-March 20 of last season.
Hiller made 14 saves in last weekend's win over the Sabres, improving to 3-2-0
with a 3.02 GAA versus them. Perry and Emerson Etem both scored two goals and
Getzlaf added a goal and two helpers.

Although this turbine -because of its small size and lightweight nature- isn't exactly going to run at 120V, it's capable of charging batteries and such. But when the whole thing weighs only 16 ounces, i'd say that's a fair trade off. With access to some fairly simple materials and tools, you can make your very own camping wind turbine!
Even in a low breeze, this turbine is capable of creating a good amount of voltage (see video). A leaf blower is used in this video to create the "wind", however, it is far enough away from the turbine that it only creates the equivalent of a light breeze. The units on the voltmeter are in thousandths of volts and in this video the turbine creates over 1/3 of a volt.
Step 1: Materials and Tools
1/2 inch PVC "T" joint
1" ABS Rod
1" to 1/2" PVC Coupler
3/4" Aluminum Pipe
DC Servo Motor
1/16" Thick ABS Sheeting
1/8" Stainless Steel Rod
1/8" Threaded Hex Screws
Insulated Wire
Electrical Tape
Black Spraypaint
Green Spraypaint
You won't be able to find a lot of these items at your nearest Home Depot. It took me a bit of scrounging to get these materials; luckily you don't need large quantities of them.
Scrollsaw or Bandsaw
Lathe or drill press (or crazy good drilling skills...)
Locking pliers
Soldering Iron
The energy isn't free; you'd have paid for it in gasoline. Also, you might as well just use the 12 V you can get from your car's alternator.
what is the serial number for DC servo motor..
from the video's and photo's I see that you have a wind direction vane on the hub but it doesn't appear that the hub unit can turn to follow the direction of the wind?
if it can how does that work?
Gas vehicles re-charge the battery already.
1. Generators you could practically fit on a car generate electricity in the watts range. An electric vehicle needs KILLOWATTS worth of power, 1000 times what generators could produce. To give you a comparison, we want to fill a traditional car with gallons of gas, the generators would only give it in ounces, and no, not fast enough to be worth it.
2. Drag, from weight or air resistance, whatever you put on the car is going to reduce your accelleration and your distance. Distance is the problem most electric cars are trying to overcome most
and you guys are rediculous for suggesting to add one to a car..... makes no sense at all. the only thing it could be good for is keeping the battery charged when not in use for loooong amounts of time... but in that case you should disconnect the battery anyway.
The amount of electricity this produces is near negligible when compared to the amount of electrity it takes to power the vehicles electric motors. literally... negligible.... it would probably take a weeks worth of gail for winds for a mini windmill to produce enough elcetricity to move a car half a mile.
sorry but.... BAD IDEA mounting wind mills to cars.... just plain old bad idea.
placement does matter in terms of drag. but again, there woud be NO benefit of adding one of these to a car. And the solar panel roof on a prius, pretty much useless as well.
looking at toyotas website it says the prius motors are 27kw. the solar panel probably makes 50 watts at the very most. at this rate, it would take you well over three months of solar collection to drive one hour. The wind mill would take probably ten times longer. the solar roof on priuses is a gimmick

Córdoba from Chant d'Espagne, Op. 232 (arr. J. Williams)
Composed in 1896-97; 6 minutes
Everything from popular salon styles to the most advanced ideas from major conservatories shows up in the music of the peripatetic pianist Isaac Albeniz. He frequently imitates sounds and techniques of the guitar in his piano music, and it transfers readily to the plucked instrument. (Albeniz is reported to have flattered Tarrega by saying that he preferred Tarrega's transcriptions of his music to the originals.) Published erratically, Albeniz' piano music is almost as wayward in its chronology and titles as his itineraries were geographically.
Albeniz put this poetic little note about Córdoba on the title page: "In the silence of the night, interrupted by the whispers of breezes perfumed with jasmine, the guzlas play [the guzla was a type of Moorish fiddle, usually with a single string], accompanying the serenades and diffusing in the air ardent melodies and notes as sweet as the swaying of the palms high above."
Although he did write a handful of sonatas, most of Albeniz' mature piano music takes the form of A-B-A character pieces. Córdoba is different, in that it opens with an austere modal chorale. The ensuing dance, however, is A-B-A in form, with a haunted return of the chorale at the end of the B section.

Born Brooklyn, June 29, 1924
On Vineyard Sound
Composed in 2009 for Benjamin Verdery; 10 minutes
Ezra Laderman studied composition with Stefan Wolpe and Otto Luening, earning degrees from Brooklyn College and Columbia University. He came to Yale in 1988 as a visiting composer and then served as dean of Yale's School of Music for the next six years. He continues to teach composition at Yale, where he is a colleague of guitarist Benjamin Verdery. He has composed in most genres and mediums of art music, including eleven string quartets and seven concertos.
Laderman's wife, Dr. Aimlee Laderman, is a limnologist at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole on Cape Cod. Vineyard Sound is the body of water separating Martha's Vineyard from Cape Cod.
Laderman's music is a roiling toccata of strong cross-currents and rip tides, some thing like a piano rag written by Bartok. It has a sort of lead motif—the first four notes, repeated at the beginning—that anchors the form with suggestions of variation, development and a clear recapitulation, but it is energized with playful syncopations and metrical shifts, often over pedal tones and rhythmic ostinatos.

Suite in E-flat major, BWV 1010 (arr. Verdery)
Composed c. 1720; 24 minutes
The six Suites that Bach composed for solo cello come from the seven-year period (1717–1723) that he spent as Kapellmeister for Prince Leopold. The young Prince spent upwards of a quarter of his income on music-making, and often joined in himself. In addition to the cello Suites, the Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin, the Brandenburg Concertos, and Book I of the Well-Tempered Clavier, and many other works, date from this happy period.
All six of the Suites have the same overall form, similar to other dance suites of the time. Each opens with a prelude, followed by an allemande, a courante, two modish French galanterien and a gigue. Why Bach became fascinated with writing music for unaccompanied melody instruments at a time when his official workload was dance-oriented remains a mystery, but he certainly took the conventional dance suite into rarefied realms with this music.
The Fourth Suite is one of the warmest and simplest at the surface, but rich in contrast and subtext. The Prelude begins with placidly falling broken chords, gradually become more dissonant. Reversing the downward motion increases the ten sion dramatically, until a descending bass line, under four bars of G-minor, crashes onto a raised sixth. The second half of the Prelude struggles to work itself back from this point, breaking out into roulades of swirling 16th notes that contend the rest of the movement with the broken chords.
The Allemande flows elegantly with just enough rhythmic step to keep its dance origin in mind—and in gently tapping toes. The volatile, highly kinetic Courante varies its 8th note patterns with volleys of 16ths and gigue-like triplets. As in all of the suites, the Sarabande is the emotional center. Here though, it is tender and exquisitely refined rather than pained or otherworldly, characterized by its aristocratic dotted rhythms and mellow harmony.
The vigorous Bourrees are probably the best-known portions of this Suite as excerpts. The first is zesty and athletic, the miniature second one an affecting contrast with a hesitating, syncopated gait. The concluding Gigue is as earthy and robustly muscled as the first Bourree and even more intricately patterned in its 12/8 moto perpetuo flights.

Born Danbury, Connecticut, October 1, 1955
Now and Ever
Composed in 2007; 10 minutes
Benjamin Verdery is hardly a stranger to guitar audiences at 92nd Street Y. One of the instrument's most collegial champions, he has been artistic dirctor of the 92Y Guitar Institute for years.
He is also often present through his compositions, which reveal a great appreciation of the more traditional aspects of the guitar and a questing spirit that revels in fresh timbres and textures. Unusual tunings is one area of particular interest to Verdery, and a unique scordatura underlies Now and Ever. The tuning is D, G, D, A, B-flat, E (from bottom to top) and it is that half-step interval (A to B-flat) that generates much of the harmonic and melodic direction.
"Now and Ever begins with a minor second [half-step] and drifts away with it at the end of the second movement," Verdery writes. "The interval in my mind represents the struggle and sorrow of so many repressed peoples throughout the ages. The piece is my musical statement against slavery of any kind. The first movement begins and ends rather like a meditation on the half-step interval and becomes more animated in the center. The second movement is in a loose rondo form. Its rhythmic foundation and vitality is primarily based on the repetitive 7/8, 6/8, and 5/8 measures. The movement ends with a hopeful tremolo theme that has a slightly 'circular' musical feeling because of the voice-leading and harmony."

Adagio, K. 540 (arr. Verdery)
Composed in 1788; 4 minutes
Mozart's catalog in the mid-1780s is peppered with independent single movement works for keyboard, including fantasias, rondos, and this astonishingly expressive Adagio in B minor. (Benjamin Verdery plays it in D minor.) William Glock, writing about those pieces in The Compleat Mozart, suggests that it takes sonata form, but that is hard to hear and see. Sonata principles, yes: there is motivic development aplenty and the resolution of contending tonal hierarchies. But both halves of this binary movement are repeated and end in the tonic both times, with modulating first and second endings, plus a dramatic cadenza-like coda that dissipates all the preceding anguish to end in B major. The battle is not won, however, until the final, fading two-and-a-half bars and Mozart needs all of it to make that soft landing convincing.

Don't Be Cruel (arr. Verdery)
Composed in 1956; 3 minutes
The guitar is the original multi-cultural cross-over instrument. It brought vernacular songs and dances into the world of European art music, and it disseminated arrangements of motets and instrumental ensemble compositions to a wider audience. Benjamin Verdery's first passion for the guitar was inspired by The Beatles, and the guitar as the frontline instrument for rock bands has now inspired several generations of stylistically omnivorous guitarists.
"Early in my career I thought I should be playing 'folk' music from my country and began arranging songs that I grew up with or have liked over the years," Verdery says. "The process is generally that I write out all the parts the best I can. I use that as main material and add my own material that seems musically appropriate to form a little piece. The inspiration first comes from my love of the songwriter, and then there has to be some element about the song I think will sound great on the classical guitar."
Prince's "Kiss" began its still-productive life as an acoustic demo, which was reworked by the funk band Mazarati. After rehearsing that version, Prince took it back, subbing in a new lead vocal and a guitar break. "Kiss" was released in 1986, went gold in three months, won a Grammy, and became a sing-along favorite.
"In Germany Before the War" is from Randy Newman's fourth album, Little Criminals (1977), best-known for its first track, "Short People." "In Germany Before the War" was inspired by Fritz Lang's film M, in which Peter Lorre played a serial child-killer, in circumstances similar to an actual killer in Dusseldorf at the time. The song can also be heard as a metaphor for the rise of Hitler and the Nazis, as the killers of innocence. Newman sets it as a somber, almost stunned reflection; a pared down piano ballad in the darkest, bleakest cabaret style.
Otis Blackwell wrote "Don't Be Cruel," but with 28 takes in the studio, Elvis Presley probably earned his co-writing credit. Elvis recorded it in 1956 for a single with "Hound Dog" on the other side, and the two songs dominated the pop charts, selling more than four million copies in only half a year. Scotty Moore played the jaunty lead lick that sounds just fine on classical guitar. Some of the runs in the arrangement, however, reference another one of Verdery's guitar heroes, Jeff Beck. Verdery recorded his version for an acoustic guitar tribute album, A Guitar for Elvis.

Artistic director of 92nd Street Y's Art of Guitar series since 2006, Benjamin Verdery is hailed for his innovative and eclectic musical career. Since 1980 he has performed worldwide in theaters and at festivals, including Theatre Carre in Amsterdam, the International Guitar Festival at Havana, Wigmore Hall in London, and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and Metropolitan Opera in New York. His tours regularly take him throughout the US, Canada, Europe and Asia. He has recorded and performed with such diverse artists as Andy Summers, Frederic Hand, William Coulter, Leo Kottke, Anthony Newman, Jessye Norman, Paco Pena, Hermann Prey and John Williams.
Mr. Verdery has released more than 15 albums, his most recent being Happy Here with William Coulter; and Branches, featuring works of Bach, Strauss, Jimi Hendrix, Mozart and the traditional Amazing Grace, both for Mushkatweek. His recording, Start Now, also for Mushkatweek, won the 2005 Classical Recording Foundation Award.
Many of the leading composers of our time have written music for Mr. Verdery, including Ezra Laderman, Martin Bresnick, John Anthony Lennon, Anthony Newman, Roberto Sierra, Van Stiefel and Jack Vees. Of particular note was the commission by the Yale University Music Library of a work by Ingram Marshall for classical and electric guitars. Mr. Verdery and Mr. Summers premiered the work, Dark Florescence, at Carnegie Hall with the American Composers Orchestra and repeated it at the Belfast Festival with the Ulster Orchestra. Last December, the two guitarists and friends appeared at the annual Amsterdam Electric Guitar Heaven.
Mr. Verdery is a prolific published composer in his own right. Last year he was commissioned to compose two pieces: Stand in Your Own Light, written for guitar and koto, by the Tenri Cultural Institute in New York; and Penzacola Belongs to All, commissioned by the Pensacola Guitar Orchestra in celebration of its 30th anniversary, which he premiered with the ensemble. In 2010 the Assad Duo premiered What He Said, commissioned by 92Y and dedicated to the late luthier Thomas Humphrey. Doberman–Yppan (Canada) currently publishes his solo and duo works for guitar.
In addition to his performances, tours and recording, Mr. Verdery has been chair of the guitar department at the Yale University School of Music since 1985 and artistic director of the biennial Yale Guitar Extravaganza. He was appointed an honorary board member of the Suzuki Association of the Americas in 2007. Each summer Mr. Verdery holds his Annual International Master Class on the Island of Maui (Hawaii). He uses D'Addario strings and guitars by Greg Smallman and Christopher Carrington. His website is benjaminverdery.com.

ETSU Football Set To Begin Preseason Practice
Thursday, August 08, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Aug. 8, 2002) - East Tennessee State head football coach Paul Hamilton and his staff welcomed over 80 players to campus today as the Buccaneers begin their preparations for the 2002 football season that is less than four weeks away. "We certainly are very enthused about seeing our football team come back today," said Hamilton. "As I look at them come in it shows that they have made a commitment in the off-season to come back in great shape. They, as well as the coaches, are excited about the next several weeks. The thing we have to do is now is get to work and see what kind of football team we can become between now and August 31 when we open at North Carolina State." ETSU, ranked as high as eighth in the nation in the preseason polls, returns 13 starters from last season's team that posted its third straight winning season, including an upset of top-ranked Georgia Southern. Among the returning players for the Bucs are preseason All-Americans Cecil Moore (Morristown, Tenn.), an honorable mention pick, and junior Tony Tiller (Lithonia, Ga.), a first team selection. Both are first team All-SoCon preseason selections. Moore, rated as the No. 5 wideout in I-AA football by the College Sporting News, led the Southern Conference in receptions and yardage last season and is listed among the top-10 in the ETSU record books in each of those categories. Tiller, rated as the second best cornerback by CSN, led the SoCon in interceptions last year with seven. In addition to reporting today, players will have equipment issued and go through physicals. Tomorrow the players will go through meetings and strength and conditioning testing prior to taking part in the ETSU's annual media day that will start at 3:00 p.m. in Memorial Center. First practice for the Bucs is slated for Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m.

What a wonderful quote! It is so relevant to running and to life in general. I can't imagine anyone wanting to do something that steals their joy, and yet how often are we happy with what we have until we see someone having what we perceive to be as "more" or "better"?
In running and in life, comparing yourself to others doesn't bring happiness. As a runner, if you play the "comparing game" there will always be somebody running more miles than you. There will always be somebody running faster. There will always be somebody running more races. There will always be somebody doing tougher workouts. There will always be somebody thinner and in better shape. There will always be somebody who in your mind can be seen as "better" than you for whatever reason. And on the flip side, you will always be "the somebody" that is running more miles, running faster, running more races, doing tougher workouts, and in better shape than others.
So knowing that, what good does it do to compare yourself to others? Does it make my accomplishments, goals, etc. any smaller because there are others out there that have done "more"? Or does it make my accomplishments, goals, etc. any bigger because there are others out there that have done "less"? I say NO and NO.
I am so genuinely inspired by other runners of all levels and abilities. I am truly awed by the elite runners who race so fast and with so much heart, and I am just as awed by the new runners finishing their very first 5k with just as much heart. There is nothing like being at the finish line of a race and watching the runners - the fastest and the slower - finish. I cheer for every one of them for all I am worth and it makes me cry every time.
I am truly impressed with anyone who runs - with those who run a lot, those who run a little - with those who run 5 minute miles and those who run 13 minute miles. I am impressed with everyone who gets out there and does it. I have been inspired and encouraged by so many and I love being a part of the incredible running community.
Some runners do get caught up in comparing themselves to others, and all I can see coming from that is discouragement. As runners, and as people, we have to find joy, pride, confidence, and happiness in what we have and in our own accomplishments, regardless of what others have and what others do. We are all on our own journeys, our own paths, and our own timelines. We all have different talents, abilities, goals, dreams, passions, challenges, obstacles, and plans.
My Noah is three and a half years old. He was born with brain damage, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, vision impairment and other special needs. He recently started being able to take 5-10 steps all on his own. Compared to most three year-old's he is "significantly delayed" and a handful of shaky steps is a skill that was mastered years earlier. But for Noah, those steps are a HUGE accomplishment. It is a miracle. It is joyful. We celebrate his accomplishments and cheer him on, without comparing him to others.
Don't let comparison steal your joy or the joy of others, in running or in life. Support others. Lift up others. Be inspired and encouraged by others. Inspire and encourage others. Find JOY in your own special journey, your life, your dreams, your blessings, and your accomplishments, and find joy in the lives, journeys, dreams, blessings, and accomplishments of those around you.
Run your own race and find joy in it.
Here are some great quotes on joy. I strive to be the kind of person described in the first quote.
Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it." - Greg Anderson
"The closer you come to your core, the greater is your joy." - Torkom Saraydarian

There are jobs and there are jobs, but I think the cushiest ones in the world have got to be doing voice-over work for TV shows.
Just ask Carol Ann Susi or Lorenzo Music. Their names may not be familiar, but if you watch TV, their voices certainly will be. Ms. Susi is the ever-annoying, grating voice of Howard Wolowitz's mother in "The Big Bang Theory." ("Howa-a-a-rd, your little friends are here!")
The closest we ever got to seeing Mr. Music was the intercom box in Rhoda's apartment on Valerie Harper's old TV series "Rhoda." ("Hello. This is Carlton, your doorman.")
They aren't the only ones who got to work in their pajamas. Most people will instantly recognize the voice of KITT from "Knight Rider." William Daniels wasn't the first one to speak through a car radio, however.
How many of you remember Ann Sothern as the voice of Jerry Van Dyke's mom in "My Mother, the Car!"? Granted, that show only lasted one season in the mid-1960s and is generally regarded as one of the worst shows of all time, but still, as talking cars go, it was way ahead of its time.
Many of these unseen actors play an integral part in legendary TV shows. How would Charlie's Angels know which bad guy to go after each week without that early-morning phone call from John Forsythe? How would Kirk, Picard, Janeway and all the other starship captains know how many seconds were left in the self-destruct sequence without Majel Barrett's computer voice coming in loud and clear over the Enterprise's communications system?
As a final counterpoint to these unseen icons of television, let's not forget the characters we saw each week who never uttered a word. Larry's brother Darryl and his other brother Darryl from "Newhart" come to mind immediately. They just stood there. Talk about cushy jobs!

SYLMAR, Calif. – A Spectrolab solar cell recently set a world record by converting more energy from the sun into electricity than any other ground-based solar cell without solar concentration.
The Boeing subsidiary's achievement in ground-based solar cell efficiency was verified by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo.
The cell converted 37.8 percent of solar energy using a new class of high-efficiency multi-junction solar cell, created from two or more materials and leveraging Boeing technology that makes semiconductor materials more reliable. The record was set without concentration, the common practice of having lenses or mirrors focus solar rays on the cells.
"We expect this solar cell technology will have significant benefits for space, ground-based, and sensor applications," said Troy Dawson, president of Spectrolab.
Spectrolab believes this solar cell technology can attain higher levels of efficiency, "possibly more than 45 percent even under low concentrations," according to Nasser Karam, the companyís vice president for advanced technology.
Spectrolab, which is part of the Boeing Defense, Space & Security unit, is the world's leading merchant supplier of high-efficiency multi-junction solar cells and panels for concentrated photovoltaic and spacecraft power systems. Spectrolab offers sensors and solar simulators, in addition to being the worldís leading provider of airborne searchlights.

- The Enterprise
- The Recorder
An emotional early afternoon in court Thursday ended in an 18-month sentence for a Fort Washington man convicted of two counts of negligent manslaughter.
Circuit Judge Amy Bragunier sentenced Yuri Marie Francois Vielot Jr., 27, to serve time at the Charles County jail for the 2010 deaths of Marlon Lorenzo and Erick Alvarado, two Maryland State Highway Administration contractors. The two were killed Oct. 21 that year after Vielot fell asleep at the wheel of his 2004 Volkswagen SUV, leading him to cross the median at the intersection of routes 228 and 229 and run into the men.
At the time of the accident, Vielot did not have a valid driver's license but a learner's permit. He had gotten two hours of sleep the night before and was driving to bring food to his fiancee, who is now his wife.
Vielot's conviction came as the result of a second trial this September. A July 2012 trial resulted in a hung jury.
Much of Vielot's family sat in the courtroom, along with family and friends of Lorenzo's. As both sides testified to Bragunier about their respective loved ones, tears flowed.
Charles County Assistant State's Attorney Francis J. Granados said the court had lost contact with the bulk of Alvarado's family but read a letter from his sister. Alvarado, Granados said, was just 24 at the time of his death and had been working in the United States for about four or five years after moving here from El Salvador. Alvarado regularly sent money to his family in Central America.
Speaking through a translator, Lorenzo's sister, Anna Chajon Lorenzo, said her brother had lived with her in the U.S. for about five years after moving here from Guatemala.
"When I decided for him to come here and he made the decision, he was a young man, very eager to work hard and go to school," Anna Chajon Lorenzo said of her brother, who was 28 at the time of his death. "He was great company to me. ... Up until now, my daughter has not been able to recover from his loss. I was so greatly impacted by this, and we believe in justice here on earth and before God. Three years have gone by, but to me it's as if it happened yesterday. ... Now I know there's going to be closure to this. We're not a family who's vindictive. We know [Vielot's] family is suffering, too, and we pray for God to bless them."
"There's a tendency to think of driving as a right, and it's not. It's a privilege. ... Driving is a dangerous act, even if we do it every day," Granados said. "Are we going to say getting his wife some TGI Friday's french fries is worth the lives of two young men? It's not. ... That does not trump his duty to the community. He placed the wants and needs of him and his family above that of the community. As I told the jury ... good people can do stupid, careless, reckless things. He killed two people."
Granados said because Vielot's accident claimed two lives instead of one, the range for his sentence is between three and 16 years. Granados asked for a sentence firmly in the middle of that range.
"[Vielot] should have never been behind the wheel of a car by himself in the first place," Granados said. "If he hadn't been, Erick and Marlon would still be alive. Their families would still have them."
Defense attorney Robin Ficker said five letters had been written on Vielot's behalf, and even more members of his family spoke on his behalf, including several aunts-in-law, his mother and grandmother. Karen Jackson, Vielot's mother, recalled that day clearly.
"He called me at work, and all that he could say was 'Mom, I killed two people.' It devastated him so much," Jackson said through tears. "He didn't know what to do. [Lorenzo and Alvarado] can't be brought back. ... I put myself and my child at the mercy of the court. ... When things go wrong, we do have to suffer the consequences."
"His immediate reaction was remorse, no defiance ... and that's what it's been since," Ficker said. "[Vielot] would take it back, but he can't. I don't think it would be slapping anyone in the face to go below the guidelines."
Vielot turned to Lorenzo's family as he spoke.
"I know I took family and friends from you, but please don't take me from mine," Vielot said. "They don't have anyone else. I just ask for you to forgive me."
Bragunier said the guilt Vielot will have to live with forever is a significant punishment, but imprisonment still is merited.
"It's a tragic, tragic accident. To the families ... I can't begin to imagine the pain you've suffered," Bragunier said. "Mr. Vielot is a good man. He did not intentionally hurt them ... but two people are dead, and he will have to suffer the consequences."
Vielot received a 10-year sentence with all but 18 months suspended on both counts to be served concurrently. Vielot will be allowed out on work release and will be on supervised probation for five years following his release.

Well I posted this in its own thread last night, but was told that I should put it here... I'm gonna copy/paste it here, and add two more suggestions I wanted to add this morning.
Has ANY information besides the inclusion of new african leagues (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_Manager_2009) been given about 2009 yet? With 2008 so unplayable (even if patched, many of the issues are considered WAD) i'd like to know if the series is actually gonna be going anywhere. Don't get me wrong - its still lightyears ahead of championship manager.... but that doesn't mean they shouldnt be improving the game- 2008 is more of a downgrade from 2007, especially when you consider how much slower it is- It shouldnt take middle of the road (3 gigs of ram) computer 4 Real Life days to play till 2011 from 2008.
In any case the point of this thread is less to complain, but to find out whats being planned for next years version. Here are some things I'd personally like to see.
1.) More lower leagues - include the Norweigen 3rd division, Unibond/British Gas/Ryman, etc. -- Nothing is more fun than to take a team from the bottom all the way to the top. I'm not saying go all the way down to Bristol Downs, but a few levels deeper in more leagues would definatly help.
2.) The ability to add and remove leagues from the game dynamicly (perhaps at a set point durring the year) - this is actually VITAL to keeping the series interesting. You don't always know what league your going to want to play in 10 game years down the line- as it stands in 2008, if you want to manage a team in China, and China wasn't selected when you started the game, than you have to start over and lose all your stats, and all the work you've done (which when you consider how long even a single season takes in 2008 would be a huge loss)
3.) no more "virtual" players -- all players need to be kept track of, and be recruitable. They don't have to be updated constantly like those in the main leagues at the time, but maybe once or twice a year update them.
4.) Stats should be on a bigger scale. What I mean by this is the maximum number for any attribute should be higher than 20 - maybe 100 or more. The difference between a top tier player and some 15 year old kid who can barely play is a lot more than 20 times the difference, and as it is now when your around the middle of the table theres no where really to go but to the really good or really bad players which have a huge difference between them- VERY unrealistic.
5.) A faster pace- more information should be done in the backround. Nothings more frustrating than spending an hour working on tactics only to have to wait 10 mins for a turn to finish immidatly afterwards. The game doesn't have to take every variable into account either, execpt for the league your currently playing in - It can randomize some information, and do lots of other tricks
6.) It needs to feel more like a game and less like an interactive spreadsheet. Give the game some music, use more graphics to represent stuff.
7.) An actual tutorial would be nice that explains stuff to people who don't know the sport as well as the average joe. Explain stuff like what a Playmaker and a Target Man is. Explain how to get the most out of your team, and how to adjust your tactics to the level you want.
8.) Make the game easier to get into by giving the player more "broad" ways of doing things. Stuff like "auto-complete" buttons for setting corner takers, etc. would be real nice. Its a real pain to have to adjust this stuff every time I get a new player.
9.) Give the AI more intelligence when it comes to players and teams. For example a newly promoted team should have a better chance of recruiting players than a team in the league they just left, but less of a chance than teams that have been there awhile.
10.) Give more variety of player names. At one point I had a team made up entirely of people with the last name Larson.
I can think of a lot more things i'd like to see, but what does everyone think about these suggestions, and what other suggestions do you guys have?

Stanley Cup Playoffs 2013 – Day 39
Day-39 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs:
INKTIME on RINKTIME Observations and Random thoughts by Chris Madsen:
NO KEITH, NO PROBLEM: The game was there for the taking. The Blackhawks Norris trophy winning Defenseman, Duncan Keith, was relegated to the Press Box courtesy of a 1-game suspension…the Defending Stanley Cup Champions had a chance to pull even in the WCFS…and the Kings were hosting Game-4 of the series at Staples Center–where they had not lost since the month of March. So, add it all up and the Series shifts to Chicago dead-even, right? WRONG!
Despite scoring the first goal of the game, the Kings failed to show that killer instinct that made them a Champion and allowed the Hawks to overcome deficits–TWICE–en route to a 3-2 heart-breaker, to a go along with a not so subtle shove to the brink of elimination.
I thought Kings Coach Darryl Sutter made a very astute observation about how the absence of Duncan Keith really didn't impact the Blackhawks approach to the game (around the 1:44 mark of this video):
Then again, it also doesn't hurt when you have as fluid a skater and one that comes with the Hockey IQ of a Niklas Hjalmarsson–who was an impact player in this game from his opening shift. And Brent Seabrook found a way to elevate his all-star game to another level, and that spelled F-R-U-S-T-R-A-T-I-O-N for the Kings–especially in the 3rd Period when despite trailing by just a goal they could only muster TWO SHOTS!
GETTING FITTED FOR HORNS: "This is when heroes are made."–Those inspirational words were uttered five weeks ago when the Playoffs started by Kings Captain Dustin Brown.
Unfortunately, the Playoffs are also a time when unflattering references to "dogs" and "goats" are made.
In a must win game, Dustin Brown and fellow star teammate Anze Kopitar were nowhere to be found on the score sheet. In fact, Brown has 1 goal in his last 9 Playoff games–and none in the conference final. While Anze Kopitar –who led the club in Regular Season scoring–has 1 goal in 13 Post-Season games, but none in this series versus the Blackhawks.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME, LATELY: Pittsburgh Penguins Head Coach Dan Bylsma is one of the youngest, most respected and most successful coaches in the NHL. Over the course of 4 seasons with the Pens, the 42-year old Bylsma has amassed a record of (201-92-25). Those 201 victories ranks second in team history to Eddie Johnston's (232-224-60) all-time franchise record.
Yet checkout yesterday's presser with Coach Bylsma, where it took roughly :50 to broach the topic of his future–considering his club is down 3-games-to-none to Boston in the Eastern Conference Final:
Now to Bylsma's credit, he massaged his answer to focus more on the accountability of the team.
But this response: "I'm not coaching, don't coach, have never coached for my job," IMHO is a larger measure of the man.
And if the Pens would be foolish enough to listen to the media (there's a joke in there somewhere), I am certain the Rangers, Canucks and Stars would be more than happy to scrap their current course of action to accommodate Mr. Bylsma.
UNTIL THE NEXT TIME WE LACE 'EM UP AND HIT THE ICE!–Chris Madsen
Stanley Cup Playoffs 2013 – Day 38
Day-38 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs:
INKTIME on RINKTIME Observations and Random thoughts by Chris Madsen:
I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO DAD: As a kid growing up in Chicago, I played baseball at a local park in our neighborhood from the Pee-wee level all the way up to Semi-Pro. And during that time, my Dad was one of the winning-est Little League coaches in the program's history. Each year, kids would come and go–and yet–each year my Dad would field a team in the Playoffs.
So when I went to College on a baseball scholarship, my Dad encouraged me to give back by offering to coach at the Pony League level (12-15 years of age). Now when it came time to draft players, the other coaches had an inherent advantage because they had an "automatic" pick–more often than not their son–and their son could tell them about all of the "best" players available to choose from.
Before my first draft, my Dad pulled me aside and said, "Son, don't focus on the guys you are hearing are 'the best players'. During tryouts (which consisted of fielding, throwing and hitting drills) try to weed-out those boys you feel have the determination and a love of the game. Believe me, in the end, those are the one's that are much easier and fun to coach…and believe me, you will all go farther."
Right now, the Boston Bruins look like the more the determined bunch. And their love of the game appears to be off the charts!
I guess the only question is…how much farther can the Boston Bruins go?
BTW, when I finished drafting my Pony League team, many of the Dads/Coaches around the table were openly giggling–rudely saying that I had just drafted the equivalent of the league's "Bad News Bears."
We won the Championship…and beat the team that arguably had "the best" players with a Suicide-Squeeze bunt with one out in the Bottom of the 9th! They never saw it coming. And the boy who laid down the bunt, hadn't had a hit all year.
"Thanks", Dad.
A VOID TO FILL: And it's a sizeable one for the Blackhawks, after losing Duncan Keith to a 1-game suspension–following his high-sticking incident in Game-3 involving Kings Forward Jeff Carter (see BREAKING NEWS from yesterday). Normally, Keith takes a regular shift alongside Brent Seabrook, works the Power Play and kills Penalties–so, no doubt, these are pretty big skates to fill.
This circumstance will probably lead to debut of Sheldon Brookbank. Brookbank found himself in a tug-of-war with fellow veteran Michal Rozsival for the 6th D-spot–with Rozival winning out in the Post-Season, by starting the first 15 games of the Playoffs for Chicago. Brookbank played 26 games during the regular season and had one goal and no assists.
The only questions is, who will Coach Joel Quenneville pair Brookbank with? Stay tuned!
Kings Center Mike Richards took a big hit from the Blackhawks Dave Bolland in Game-1 of the WCFS and hasn't suited up since. His injury has been categorized as "an upper body injury" and believed to be a concussion.
Richards reportedly took a few non-contact turns with all of the other players who were a scratch in Game-3 at the Kings practice facility in El Segundo, California. No word on his status for tonight's tilt.
Meanwhile, the Bruins will be without forward Gregory Campbell for the remainder of the Payoffs due to a broken leg. Campbell blocked a shot by Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin during last night's 2OT victory..
But you talk about tough…Campbell stayed on the ice to kill the rest of Pen's Power Play before gingerly making his way to the B's locker room.
Like Dad said…."Determination."
UNTIL THE NEXT TIME WE LACE 'EM UP AND HIT THE ICE!–Chris Madsen
|Los Angeles
BREAKING NEWS: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2013 – Day 37
Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith has been suspended for one game for high-sticking Los Angeles Kings forward Jeff Carter during last night's Game 3 of the Western Conference Final. The National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety has released this video explanation:
Keith is expected to sit out Game-4 tomorrow night at Staples Center. cHICAGOLEADS THE bEST OF 7 sERIES 2-GAMES-TO-1.
Stanley Cup Playoffs 2013 – Day 37
Day-37 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs:
INKTIME on RINKTIME Observations and Random thoughts by Chris Madsen:
QUICK STRIKE: Nothing like scoring early to set the tone, pull in the fans and give the best goaltender in the game the mindset of, "OK, this is all we need." And that is precisely what Justin Williams afforded Jonathan Quick and the rest of his teammates after the Kings sniper snapped-off a wicked low wrist shot past Chicago Goalie Corey Crawford, en route to 3-1 Game-3 victory in the Western Conference Final to trim the Blackhawks lead in the series to 2-games-to-1.
But there was a disturbing exchange in the 2nd Period between between the Kings Jeff Carter (who I thought was one of the best players on the ice last night) and Hawks star defenseman Duncan Keith (who, BTW, was -2 in this game). Now granted, Carter isn't completely innocent. He initiated the exchange with a tap on Keith's exposed hand with the HEEL of his stick. But Keith's reaction was both undisciplined and dangerous when he swung the TOE of his stick and opened-up a gash just below Carter's mouth. Checkout Exhibit "A":
Duncan Keith claimed: "Yeah, it was accidental. Obviously, I wanted to give him a tap, but not where I got him. I felt bad. I'm glad to see that he came back. It was just a scuffle. It was an accident."
While Kings Coach Darryl Sutter saw things differently: "I didn't think it was a four-minute penalty. I thought it was a wrong call. That's three head injuries now in the playoffs for us. I don't know how to answer it. It's retaliation with a stick. It's not a high stick. Whatever they want to call it, they'll call it. Don't even need video."
The injuries that Sutter is referencing is Kings Center Jarret Stoll who was out for for 6-games in the second round with an upper body injury (apparent concussion) after taking what was deemed an illegal hit by San Jose's Raffi Torres. Then Kings Center Mike Richards has sat out the last 2-games after getting plastered by the Blackhawk's Dave Bolland in Game-1 of this series.
Which leads us to the Question of the Day…should the Hawks Duncan Keith face supplemental discipline? Please COMMENT below. Regardless, have you ever tried having a cut heal where you are growing a beard?…PAINFUL!
SOME NEW THREADS: I don't know about you, but I have been collecting hockey jerseys since my first assigned "beat" (the Blackhawks) in 1981. And over those 33 years, I have bought, sold or given away over 200 sweaters.
Two teams…the Carolina Hurricanes and the Dallas Stars unveiled their new uniforms for next season. So please tell me if you think either one or both is/are worthy of consideration:
While down in Dallas:
BTW, the Stars on March 8, 2014, the Stars will officially retire Mike Modano's No. 9. How fitting that the Stars opponent that night will be the Minnesota Wild–representing the State where Modano started his career with the North Stars after the franchise selected him first in the 1988 NHL Draft.
