Don Quixote inspires two very different shows
The COC's Don Quichotte, opening May 9, and Man of La Mancha, in previews May 8 at Stratford Festival, are two versions of the same classic tale.

A 400-year-old book has inspired two very different theatrical experiences this month.
Both the Canadian Opera Company and the Stratford Festival have productions that look to Miguel Cervantes' The Ingenious GentlemanDon Quixote of La Mancha for inspiration.
But while they both have a knight, a squire, their steeds, the Spanish countryside, windmills and dancing, they are very different entertainments.
Robert McQueen, director of Man of La Mancha, which begins previews Thursday in Stratford, is quick to point out that the musical "is not an adaptation of the novel."
It tells the story of one evening in a travelling actor's life when he must entertain a group of cutthroats to save his manuscript from being destroyed. Incarcerated in jail, he wins over fellow inmates and the governor by acting out the story of his book, Don Quixote, drawing them in to the play, says McQueen.
"The entire production is an ongoing improvisation," says McQueen, with everyone eventually being "transformed" by the power of imagination.
Surprisingly, considering the play was on Broadway for years, won five Tony Awards and was made into a movie starring Peter O'Toole in 1972, McQueen says he's never seen it.
This will be the first time the COC has presented Don Quichotte, and director Linda Brovsky acknowledges it is a little-known work. She has only ever seen one version before, which was geared to children.
"It's probably new to most audiences," she says, although the story of a knight on a noble quest to right wrongs, aided by his loyal sidekick, is well-known.
"He's the ultimate idealist," says Brovsky. "Yes he sees things, armies turn out to be flocks of sheep, but he sees goodness in everyone. His heart is filled with compassion."
This goodness "transforms a group of bandits trying to kill him to honour and respect him," says Brovsky.
In this way, Don Quixote "is the totally unexpected hero — an old man, a low-level aristocrat with a fat squire who wants to eat and nap. But, he became the prototype for Western literature."
Don vs. Don
A quick comparison of Stratford's Man of La Mancha and the Canadian Opera Company's Don Quichotte.
Words and music

Leading Man
Man of La Mancha: Stratford veteran of seven seasons, Tom Rooney. Juan Chioran in 1998. Richard Kiley first played the role in 1966.
Don Quichotte: Bass Ferruccio Ferlanetto, it is his signature role. The role was originally written for Russian bass Feodor Chaliapin.
Portrayal of horse and donkey
Man of La Mancha: shadow puppets.

Don Quichotte: 5 flamenco dancers, choreography by Sara de Luis.
Previous productions
Man of La Mancha: On Broadway it played in 1966, '72, '77, '92 and 2002. It has only been at Stratford once before, in 1998. It starred Juan Chioran as Cervantes, Bruce Dow as Sancho and Cynthia Dale as Dulcinea.
Don Quichotte: This is its premiere at the Canadian Opera Company. It was produced this past March by Théâtre L'On Donne at the Grand Theatre, in London, Ont. It is mostly performed in Europe.
Most Hated
Man of La Mancha: Many critics panned the 1972 movie adaptation with Peter O'Toole and Sophia Loren.
Don Quichotte: The Metropolitan Opera production in 1926 drew a scathing review from the Herald Tribune. The Met hasn't performed the show since.

ESPN suspends Smith for comments on abuse
NEW YORK ESPN has suspended outspoken sportscaster Stephen A. Smith for a week because of his comments about domestic abuse suggesting women should make sure that they dont do anything to provoke an attack.
Smiths commentary occurred during a discussion on ESPN2s First Take last Friday about the NFLs two-game suspension of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice following charges he assaulted his now-wife. The remarks attracted widespread attention, including a stinging rebuke online from a fellow ESPN personality.
Smith issued an on-air apology Monday, saying it was the most egregious mistake of his career.
A day later, ESPN took action. The networks chief executive, John Skipper, told ESPNs staff in a memo it was done after a thoughtful discussion about appropriate actions with men and women in his company.
I believe his apology was sincere and that he and we have learned from what weve collectively experienced, Skipper said.
Smith will not appear on First Take or ESPN radio until Aug. 6, the network said.
During the Rice discussion, Smith alluded to women in abuse cases when he said, Lets make sure we dont do anything to provoke wrong action ... we got to also make sure that you can do your part to do whatever you can do to make, to try to make sure it doesnt happen again.
Shortly after Smiths remarks, colleague Michelle Beadle responded on Twitter that I was just forced to watch this mornings First Take. A) Ill never feel clean again B) Im not aware that I can provoke my own beating.
Beadle, host of ESPN2s SportsNation, continued with a series of tweets. She said that Violence isnt the victims issue. Its the abusers. To insinuate otherwise is irresponsible and disgusting.
Smith, during his apology, said it wasnt his intention to say that women could be responsible for their own abuse. It was not what I was trying to say, he said. Yet the failure to clearly articulate something different lies squarely on my shoulder.
Smith didnt explain the point that he was trying to make.
ESPN frowns upon its personalities attacking each other on social media or other forums. But it did not announce any punishment for Beadle.MORE IN Sports Wire

Yes they are very.
Actually VMW doesn't always run up before earnings. Look at the last earnings report. It actually sold off before earnings, then popped on earnings. But it would be foolish to short this stock into this earnings report, especially after the good report last quarter, and the momentum in similar stocks like CRM and RVBD. I'd rather be on the long side.
It ran up, from $83 to $93.

Homa, Michael E.
Michael "Mickey" Homa, age 90, the devoted husband of Wanda Soltys Homa for over sixty-three years, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, April 9, 2014 with his family by his side. Born in Fairfield to the late Peter and Eva Homa, Mickey attended St. Thomas Parochial School and Roger Ludlowe H.S. where he lettered in golf, baseball and basketball. After graduation, he joined the
U.S. Marine Corps
serving 34 months in Iceland during
World War II
. While serving in the Marines, he played on the Marine Corps Basketball Team with appearances in Scotland and England. Upon discharge from the service, he then attended the University of Kentucky on a basketball scholarship under Coach Adolph Rupp.
After college, he joined Perry Pilotti's famed Bridgeport Newfields ABA Team and played forward for six years where he earned his reputation as "Hooks Homa". This team played many famous teams such as the NY Knicks, the Harlem Globetrotters, the Renaissance and the Toledo Jeeps among others.
After turning from professional basketball to professional golf, he worked at Rockledge Country Club for three years under the tutelage of Tommy Armour. He began a job as Playing Pro at Westchester Country Club from 1950-1962 and played the professional golf circuit in the wintertime. After leaving Westchester, he received his first Head Pro job at Rolling Hills Country Club in Wilton remaining there for ten years. He then became the Head Pro at H. Smith Richardson Golf Course in 1972 and remained there until his retirement in 1995. Some of his memorable golf achievements were: playing in nine national opens and five PGA championships; winning the Westchester Open three straight years; tying the Connecticut Open; tying the Massachusetts Open; winning the Westchester Asst. Professional Championship; winning the Metropolitan Assistant Pro Championship; winning the Metropolitan Pro-Pro and winning the Greenbrier Open. He most recently played in two U.S. Senior Opens.

All Flash Arrays: Where's My Capacity? Effective, Usable and Raw Explained
October 6, 2015 Leave a comment
What's the most important attribute to consider when you want to buy a new storage system? More critical than performance, more interesting than power and cooling requirements, maybe even more important than price? Whether it's an enterprise-class All Flash Array, a new drive for your laptop or just a USB flash key, the first question on anybody's mind is usually: how big is it?
Yet surprisingly, at least when it comes to All Flash Arrays, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get an accurate answer to this question. So let's try and bring some clarity to that in this post.
Before we start, let's quickly address the issue of binary versus decimal capacity measurements. For many years the computer industry has lived with two different definitions for capacity: memory is typically measured in binary values (powers of two) e.g. one kibibyte = 2 ^ 10 bytes = 1024 bytes. On the other hand, hard disk drive manufacturers have always used decimal values (powers of ten) e.g. one kilobyte = 10 ^ 3 bytes = 1000 bytes. Since flash memory is commonly used for the same purpose as disk drives, it is usually sold with capacities measured in decimal values – so make sure you factor this in when sizing your environments.
Now that's covered, let's look at the three ways in which capacity is most commonly described: raw capacity, usable capacity and effective capacity. To ensure we don't stray from the truth, I'm going to use definitions from SNIA, the Storage Networking Industry Association.
Raw Capacity: The sum total amount of addressable capacity of the storage devices in a storage system.
The raw capacity of a flash storage product is the sum of the available capacity of each and every flash chip on which data can be stored. Imagine an SSD containing 18 Intel MLC NAND die packages, each of which has 32GB of addressable flash. This therefore contains 576GB of raw capacity. The word addressable is important because the packages actually contain additional unaddressable flash which is used for purposes such as error correction – but since this cannot be addressed by either you or the firmware of the SSD, it doesn't count towards the raw value.
Usable Capacity: (synonymous with Formatted Capacity in SNIA terminology) The total amount of bytes available to be written after a system or device has been formatted for use… [it] is less than or equal to raw capacity.
Possibly one of the most abused terms in storage, usable capacity is what you have left after taking raw capacity and removing the space set aside for system use, RAID parity, over-provisioning (i.e. headroom for garbage collection) and so on. It is guaranteed capacity, meaning you can be certain that you can store this amount of data regardless of what the data looks like.
That last statement is important once data reduction technologies come into play, i.e. compression, deduplication and thin provisioning. Take 10TB of usable space and write 5TB of data into it – you now have 5TB of usable capacity remaining. Sounds simple? But take 10TB of usable space and write 5TB of data which dedupes and compresses at a 5:1 ratio – now you only need 1TB of usable space to store it, meaning you have 9TB of usable capacity left available.
Effective Capacity: The amount of data stored on a storage system … There is no way to precisely predict the effective capacity of an unloaded system. This measure is normally used on systems employing space optimization technologies.
The effective capacity of a storage system is the amount of data you could theoretically store on it in certain conditions. These conditions are assumptions, such as "my data will reduce by a factor of x:1". There is much danger here. The assumptions are almost always related to the ability of a dataset to reduce in some way (i.e. compress, dedupe etc) – and that cannot be known until the data is actually loaded. What's more, data changes… as does its ability to reduce.
For this reason, effective capacity is a terrible measurement on which to make any firm plans unless you have some sort of guarantee from the vendor. This takes the form of something like, "We guarantee you a minimum of 3:1 data reduction – and if you fail to realise this we will provide you with additional storage free of charge".
The most commonly used assumptions in the storage industry are that databases reduce by around 2:1 to 4:1, VSI systems around 5:1 to 6:1 and VDI systems anything from 8:1 right up to 18:1 or even further. This means an average data reduction of around 6:1, which is the typical ratio you will see on most vendor's data sheets. If you take 10TB of usable capacity and assume an average of 6:1 data reduction, you therefore end up with an effective capacity of 60TB. Some vendors use a lower ratio, such as 3:1 – and this is good for you the customer, because it gives you more protection from the risk of your data not reducing.
But it's all meaningless in the real world. You simply cannot know what the effective capacity of a storage system is until you put your data on it. And you cannot guarantee that it will remain that way if your data is going to change. Never, ever buy a storage system based purely on the effective capacity offered by the vendor unless it comes with a guarantee – and always consider whether the assumed data reduction ratio is relevant to you.
Use and Abuse of Capacities
Three different ways to measure capacity? Sounds complicated. And in complexity comes opportunities for certain flash array vendors to use smoke and mirrors in order to make their products seem more appealing. I'm going to highlight what I think are the two most common tactics here.
1. Confusing Usable Capacity with Effective Capacity
Many flash array vendors have Always-On data reduction services. This is often claimed to be for the customer's benefit but is often more about reducing the amount of writes taking place to the flash media (to alleviate performance and endurance issues). For some vendors, not having the ability to disable data reduction can be spun around to their advantage: they simply make out that the terms usable and effective are synonymous, or splice them together into the unforgivable phrase effective usable capacity to make their products look larger. How convenient.
Let me tell you this now: every flash array has a usable capacity… it is the maximum amount of unique, incompressible data that can be stored, i.e. the effective capacity if the data reduction ratio were 1:1. I would argue that this is a much more important figure to know when you buy a flash system, because if you buy on effective capacity you are just buying into dreams. Make your vendor tell you the usable capacity at 1:1 data reduction and then calculate the price per GB based on that value.
2. My Data Reduction Is Better Than Yours
Every flash vendor thinks their data reduction technologies are the best. At Violin I saw evidence to suggest that's their data reduction was superior to two well-known alternative brands of AFA. But talk to each vendor in turn and they'll tell you the same. Sometimes they'll make claims so utterly ridiculous that you'll think it's actually a joke. I guess we all believe what we want to hear. And from there on it's only a small step to try and convince you that they can deliver a better data reduction ratio – so their effective capacity must be higher, right? Beware.
Here's the truth. Compression and deduplication are mature technologies – they have been around for decades. Nobody in the world of flash storage is going to suddenly invent something that is remarkably better than the competition. Sometimes one vendor's tech might deliver better results than another, but on other days (and, crucially, with other datasets) that will reverse. For this reason, as well as for your own sanity, you should assume they will all be roughly the same… at least until you can test them with your data. When you evaluate competitive flash products, pick a data reduction ratio that suits you and then use it for all vendors.
Don't let your vendors set the agenda when it comes to sizing. If you are planning on buying a certain capacity of flash, make sure you know the raw and usable capacities, plus the effective capacity and the assumed data reduction ratio used to calculate it. Remember that usable should be lower than raw, while effective (which is only relevant when data reduction technologies are present) will commonly be higher.
Keep in mind that Effective Capacity = Usable Capacity X Data Reduction Factor.
Be aware that when a product with an "Always-On" data reduction architecture tells you how much capacity you have left, it's basically a guess. In reality, it's entirely dependent on the data you intend to write. I've always thought that "Always-On" was another bit of marketing spin; you could easily rename it as an "Unavoidable" or "No Choice" architecture.
In my opinion, the best data reduction technology will be selectable and granular. That means you can choose, at a LUN level, whether you want to take advantage of compression and deduplication or not – you aren't tied in by the architecture. Like with all features, the architecture should allow you to have a choice rather then enforce a compromise.
So there we have it: clarity and choice. Because in my opinion – and no matter which way you measure it – one size simply doesn't fit all.

Physiological processes in soft tissue pain such as chronic tennis elbow can be explored using diagnostic imaging methods. This is demonstrated by researchers from Uppsala University and the results are now being published in the prestigious journal PLOS ONE. The pain physician and researcher Magnus Peterson is presenting a new use of positron emission tomography (PET) and a tracer for the signal receptor NK1 for visualising a physiological process associated with pain.
Chronic pain is a major problem, with considerable socioeconomic costs and suffering of the individual. Musculoskeletal pain is the most common type of pain and is one of the most common reasons for consultation in health care. However, pain from soft tissues, (i.e. pain from muscles, tendons and ligaments) is still lacking effective methods for localization and diagnosis of underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.
This means that diagnosis still depends on clinical examination, which provides no guidance regarding what mechanisms might underlie the pain. Consequently, treatment proceeds purely on an empirical basis. An improved diagnostic method that allows not only diagnosis of localisation of the painful tissue processes, but also can provide guidance regarding what pathophysiological mechanisms are involved, would therefore be highly valuable.
Magnus Peterson has worked with positron emission tomography (PET), a tool for diagnostic imaging, in combination with a specific tracer for the signal receptor NK1. The tracer is injected into the blood where it circulates through the body and binds to available NK1 receptors. The signal from the radioactive tracer can then be captured as an image outside the body using PET.
This is the first time an up-regulation of NK1 receptors has been visualized by diagnostic imaging in painful tissue in humans. The study clearly reveals an image of elevated levels of NK1 in the painful area compared with the heal

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN insider: Cardinals just 'got beat' by Chiefs
For a brief moment in time it appeared Andy Reid was going to be the next head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.
Then Reid interviewed with the Kansas City Chiefs, and that idea flew out the window.
Word leaked early Thursday that Reid to the Chiefs was 'imminent', and that the Cardinals were in turn setting their sights on other options.
Given that it appears Arizona may have been used as leverage, people are wondering if the Cardinals "got played" by the Reid camp.
"I think they just got beat, more than anything else," ESPN NFL insider John Clayton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday, noting a deal is not officially done yet. "I think you can see where structure wasn't going to work."
Clayton said Reid will have more freedom in Kansas City than he would have in Arizona, as Cardinals president Michael Bidwill is also searching for a new general manager as well as a coach. It's been reported that Reid would like to bring his own general manager along, and that may not have jived with what Arizona wanted to do.
But still, Reid had every intention of chatting with the Cardinals.
"Now, he planned to come out (to Arizona)," Clayton added. "Went nine hours [Wednesday], it went well.

Steve Spagnuolo was hired by the Ravens to be a defensive assistant a few short months ago. Spagnuolo believes that this defense could be one of the best he's ever coached.
"This is as good a looking football team that I've ever seen. I'm talking about physically and stout."
Spagnuolo is even comparing the Ravens defense to the 2007 Giants defense.
"I had little visions of the Giants' front that I happened to be privileged to be working with."

STOCKHOLM — U.S. researchers Robert J. Lefkowitz and Brian K. Kobilka on Wednesday shared the Nobel Chemistry Prize for their pioneering studies on cell receptors, which enable each cell to sense its environment, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said.
Their research on "G-protein-coupled receptors" could also contribute to developing better drugs, according to the Nobel Committee.
Receptors serve as sensors for cells, communicating from outside the cell to the inside, similar to the body's sensors for light (eyes), smell (nose) or taste (mouth), the committee said.
G-protein-coupled receptors comprise "a whole family of receptors," it said, noting that "about half of all medications achieve their effect through G-protein-coupled receptors."
Antihistamines, beta blockers and different drugs for psychiatric conditions use receptors.
"The receptors are a bit like the switchboard in a building," explained Sara Snogerup Linse, a committee member. "How it works is very important information for the development of drugs."
"Thanks to the receptors I now can enjoy a cup of coffee," she said, as an assistant poured her a cup. "And thanks to Lefkowitz and Kobilka I know how it works."
Lefkowitz is with Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C. He used radioactivity in 1968 to trace cells' receptors, discovering several and gaining an initial understanding of them.
Kobilka, affiliated with Stanford University School of Medicine in California, worked as a research assistant with Lefkowitz in the 1980s and was instrumental in tracing a key gene that codes the receptor for adrenalin.
The 57-year-old told dpa that the news had hit him "like a thunderbolt ... I keep trying to convince myself that this is not a dream."
The phone had rung in the middle of the night, he said. "Since then there's been one call after the other. I am answering the house phone, my wife is on the mobile."
But the prize has not gone to his head. "I am not interesting, rather dull," he said. "I can't offer much besides a bit cycling here and there."
Earlier he told Swedish Radio that the Nobel Committee had had to phone him twice, because "I didn't make it to the phone in time."
Lefkowitz told the committee in Stockholm by phone that he was "very, very excited," to receive the prize.
"I was fast asleep and the phone rang. I was wearing earplugs. My wife gave me an elbow. And there it was, a total surprise."
"By then, I was wide awake. Surely, Stockholm did not call to ask me for the weather," Lefkowitz told dpa a few hours after the call.
After the flood of emails from friends, he said it felt as though he was "reliving my whole life."
He hadn't yet found the time to notify his five children and five grandchildren. "Not one of them is in science. I think they saw how hard I was working and came to the conclusion: This is not for us," he laughingly told dpa.
"I was going to get a haircut today, I am afraid I will have to postpone that ... It'll be a pretty crazy day at my office," he told Swedish Radio.

This paper describes an enhanced performance version of a high-speed burst-mode compatible optical receiver and its application to 622-Mb/s optical bus operation in conjunction with an instantaneous clock recovery scheme. The receiver is fabricated in a 12 GHz ft silicon bipolar technology and consists of a differential transimpedance amplifier with an auto-threshold level controller and a high-speed quantizer. Using an InGaAs avalanche photodiode, the typical burst mode sensitivity is around -34 dBm (10-9 BER) at bit rates up to 1.5 Gb/s with a dynamic range of 26 db for both pseudorandom and burst signals. The results using a laser beam modulated by a high-speed external modulator indicate that the receiver can be operated at bit rates higher than 2 Gb/s. With a worst-case self-resetting time <50 ns for the threshold control circuit, the receiver is usable for optical packet communication where data signals with varying optical power are employed. This receiver was demonstrated in a 622-Mb/s optical bus application where the clock signal was recovered from the packet data signal using a novel high-speed CMOS instantaneous clock recovery IC

So, I just got confirmation that I'm registered to run my first race ever..... a half marathon in November and I am nervous as heck since I don't really know what I am doing! My goal is to finish in 2 hours-ish. Right now, in perfect conditions, (60s and not super sunny) my long run is 7 hours at 10 minute mile average (shorter runs I average 9). I have 13 weeks to train, minus a 2 week vacation which I will try to fit in some short runs but most likely will never get a long one. (luckily I will still have 9 weeks to train again afterwards). Anyways, my plan is to run M W F, S (well pick 3 of those most weeks) and cross train T TH. The longest run I can achieve before the race is most likely 10 miles as I can only run during childwatch hours, which only allows 1.5 hours. So, basically I plan on running approx. 20 miles a week plus 2 hours of cross training. Is this enough? Any tips from former half-marathon runners? how do I gain speed? Are there sufficient watering / first aid help if something happens as this is a wooded trail race? I know nothing!
First race - training help!
Comments (9)
Welcome aboard!
First, your race will have a map or listing of all water/nutrition stations (usually called "aid stations"), first aid support, and potties on the course. It might be in a list or it might be detailed on the course map.
Next, we'd all advise you to find a training plan - google around, there are a bunch - that fits your availability to run and your goals.
Speed comes from two things, really: miles under your feet (you're going to get somewhat faster just by becoming more efficient), and by doing speedwork when you are in training. Coolrunning.com has an excellent primer on types of speedwork, so that as you are looking at training plans you can understand what they mean.
With a 7-mile long run under your belt you have plenty of time to train. I'd probably find a beginner plan and work your way through the back half of it twice, since you've got the time.
HTH! We're always here if you need help!

Bundles had great advice, especially about doing the second half of the training program twice. You'll have lots of experience with long runs, with several 10+ mile runs logged. Good luck!

Thanks for the websites and tips! I'll check them out when kiddies are napping!
Have you ever needed to fuel before? This was something new for me when I started running halfs.
I followed the Hal Higdon training program for my first few halfs, but eventually adapted it some (ran less) to meet my needs.
Running Mama to Lindy Evangeline ~ 8/3/2012
What do you mean by fuel? Do you mean rest days? I only run 3-4 days a week, and cross train 1-2, so I average 5 days working out and 2 rest days per week. Usually one rest day is because there is no childcare at the gym Sundays, and the other rest day is a day I leave town all day with the kids, which is usually once a week. On cross training days I take a class that's a high intensity version of abs buns and guns, so it is a rest day for my legs as well.
I definitely plan on resting the day before.
I checked out running schedules, and found a few that are possibly feasible, but I don't like that some require running 4+ times a week, wondering if it's ok to make the short run days a tad longer and cut out a medium run..... keeping the mileage for the week close to the schedule but just one fewer runs. It's hard when I am relying on gym childcare and also trying to make the most of the last month of summer with my kiddos.
So by rest day, I mean not working out that day.
As for fueling, nearly everyone needs to take in some calories when running a half to keep your energy where it should be. I didn't realize this when training for my first half, and had a couple of really bad long runs until I mentioned how miserable I was to a friend. She said I needed to fuel during the run, and it made a huge difference. I've played around some with what I'll eat, but I usually go with Starburst or Sportbeans. I'll fuel for runs longer than 75 min. On those runs, I'll eat a few Starburst every 45 min.
I think that looking over the training plans are a good start, and then you can modify them to meet the confines of your situation. I've trained for several halfs by running 3x per week and crosstraining 2x.
Running Mama to Lindy Evangeline ~ 8/3/2012
Hmmm, didn't even think about eating. You mean while actually running? So far I don't even stop to drink until after I'm done but l'm only at 7 miles, 8 was the longest I've ever run (and then I got injured the next day, built miles too quickly then).
I really don't know what to eat before running and didn't even think to eat during. I do know around 5-6 miles I start feeling a bit light headed. If it weren't for that my body otherwise feels great. Maybe I need to eat at that point? Sounds like a few jellybeans would be worth a try. Thanks!
I do know around 5-6 miles I start feeling a bit light headed.
That means you need to eat *before* that point. lightheadedness is probably nutrition. Keep a little log (really, you don't need much but a note on your calendar) of what you have eaten earlier prior to your run. Running nutrition is an experiment and different for everyone. If you google "running nutrition" you can learn more than you never wanted to know about gels, chews, and other ideas. (If you're going to try sport beans, you need to make sure you take them with water.)
... farting rainbows on Family Finances since 2003...
... running like a girl with Running Mamas since 2009...
That's a good idea. I know some days I run much better than others, and it usually depends on if I get light headed or not, but I can never remember what foods make good breakfasts and which don't. I also tend to not eat much before running, as I have eaten too much and got nauseated a few times, so I think I am scared to eat alot. But, I probably do need to up my intake before runs and keep logs to see what works.

I guess this is where I talk about myself. I was born and raised in South Georgia, and attended Valdosta State University, graduating with a Mass Media degree.
Working in radio is the most rewarding career you can have and I have always been lucky to be able to do it! It's fun, you work with great people, get to hang out with people in the community….. did I mention it's fun?
I have worked in radio since 2001 spending time in Tifton, Valdosta, and now Rome, GA. I can't get enough of old cars and old music. I love the outdoors and animals. Depending on the time of the year, my favorite sports teams are the Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Falcons, and Georgia football. If it's a DIY project, pencil me in!
I live in Cartersville with my beautiful wife, two dogs and a cat. If you ever see me around, say hello!

If you've ever dropped a piece of food on the floor, chances are you still wanted to eat it. Common kitchen lore holds that if you pick it up within five seconds, everything should be fine.
But is there truth behind the so-called five second rule?

A new Facebook study shows that how you express laughter online actually gives away a lot about your age. Researchers at the social network analyzed posts and comments during the last week of May 2015, and found that 15 percent included laughter at least once in their posts and comments that week.
The data shows that more than 50 percent of laughters uses "hahas," followed by emojis (33.7%), "hehes" (13.1%) and "lols" (1.9%.) About 20 percent used two different types. Overall men preferred to uses "hahas" most, while women preferred to use emoji. Interestingly, those from the West Coast were found to be more likely to uses "hahas" and "hehes," while those on the East Coast tended to use emojis. What's your favorite way to express laughter online?
Red more at Huffington Post
Yes there are three Sharknado films out now. Here an article with some good GIFS from the movie.
Check it out here.
Depending on your age, you or your kids or grandchildren may have only heard some of the following sounds in old movies, if at all.
Rotary Dial Telephone
The formerly familiar swooosh as the caller rotated the dial clockwise to the "finger stop" and then the click-click-click as the dial returned counter-clockwise to the start position is now a novelty application that you can install on your iPhones for nostalgic yuks. Adolescents waiting in line nearby will wonder what the heck that sound is, while we older fogies will know you're poking fun at us and our ancient ways.
Manual Typewriter
Manual typewriters had an entire subset of unique sounds that made them immediately identifiable...at one time. The keys clacked loudly as they struck the paper, the carriage lifted up with a distinct clunk when the shift key was employed, and then there was the ping of the bell warning you that you were nearing the end of the line. That meant you had to lift your left hand from the keyboard and swipe at the carriage return lever, which caused a sort of ziiiiip noise as you pushed the carriage back to the starting position.
Coffee Percolator
If steampunk had an aural definition, it would be the bloop-hissss of an old school coffee percolator.
Flash Cube
The loud rapid-fire click-clack of an Instamatic camera equipped with a flash cube was a common background sound at any social gathering in the 1960s. It was a technological breakthrough to be able to snap off four – count 'em, four!-photos in rapid succession without having to pause and install a new flash bulb after every shot. Even back then your crunchy granola types were concerned with the amount of waste used flash cubes created, so it became a common holiday craft project to repurpose the used cubes into trendy Christmas tree ornaments.
TV Channel Selector
When announcers of yesteryear used to admonish viewers, "Don't touch that dial!", they were referring to the channel selector knobs found on TV sets. The standard TV dial went from 2 to 13, and you had to click on each number as you searched for one of the three channels that broadcast in your area. That meant a lot of clunk clunk-ing interspersed with the static-y sound of "snow" on the blank stations. Listen to this old Muntz after it's first switched on and you'll hear another antique sound, the soft buzzzz of the picture tube warming up.
Record Changer
Record changers allowed you to stack a selection of albums of 45s (seven-inch singles, not guns!) for your longer-term listening pleasure. Each record would make a soft slap sound as it dropped onto the turntable, a series of clicks followed as the remaining records adjusted into place and the tone arm swung over and lowered the needle into the outer grooves of the record. You'd hear the slightest scritch noise as the stylus settled just so into the vinyl and then (finally!) the music began.
Gas Station Driveway Bell
Back in the days when all gas stations were full-service, the thin black pneumatic hose that snaked across the pavement was as familiar as the fuel pumps. When vehicles drove over the hose, a loud bell ding-dinged! inside the station, alerting the attendant that he had another customer. You can hear one here and even order one for your home driveway if you really dislike your neighbors.
TV Station Sign-Off
Before infomercials were invented, television stations actually went off the air for a few hours each night. Some of us TV-holics experienced physical withdrawal symptoms when we heard the announcer intone, "We now conclude our broadcast day..." around 2AM or so. The format varied little from station to station across the country; first a few technical details were announced (broadcast frequency, physical address of the station, etc.), then a reading of "High Flight" followed by the National Anthem, and then the steady beep tone of the test pattern.
Cash Register
Those chunka-chunka push buttons were clumsy, but (unlike the fellow in this video) veteran cashiers could check you out just as fast with these old-style machines as their modern counterparts do with today's scanners.
Film Projector
One of the jobs of the classroom A/V squad captain was to run the film projector on movie days. The rapid tick-tick-tick of the sprockets really was that loud and usually accompanied by shouts of "Turn it up!" and, of course, "Focus!"
Broken Record
Remember when you'd beg mom over and over for something and she'd finally yell, "You sound like a broken record!"? She wasn't referring to pops or hisses, but the repetitive effect that happened when the needle got stuck and played the same few notes over and over and over again.
The news Ghostbusters movie is scheduled to open on July 22nd, 2016. Here are a few pictures that have made their way to the internet.

The English actor and martial artist, Scott Adkins, has expressed his desire to work with bollywood actor Vidyut Jammwal. Scott is reportedly impressed by Vidyut's action scenes and wants to collaborate with him on a project.
In an recent meeting with Sunil Rodrigues, one of B-Town's action directors, Scott made a reference to Vidyut and revealed that he had seen Vidyut's film Commando and his videos online. The surprised action director took Twitter to share about Adkin's reference to Vidyut.
Jammwal is also looking thrilled to be on Scott's radar. He says, "It feels great to have my action scenes recognised and appreciated by an incredible international action star like Adkins. He has one of the best bodies in the business and some amazing action sequences to his credit in films like Undisputed II and Ninja (2009) among others."

Empire isn't the program recruiting top recording artists for guest spots this Fall. Jane The Virgin has a secret weapon of their own.
The one and only Britney Spears is dropping by the critically-acclaimed CW show for its second season. Series creator Jennie Snyder Urman confirmed the casting and teased Spears' upcoming role. Read it below.
Romance is in the air over at The CW offices. The network is reportedly developing a weekly series based on Nicholas Sparks' bestselling novel, The Notebook.
They better tread carefully as not to tarnish the legacy of the beloved film adaptation. Finding as charismatic leads as Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams is going to be a monumental task, especially ones who can emulate their scorching chemistry.
The Notebook Official Logline
"This series will follow the romantic journey of the two beloved central characters Noah and Allie, at the outset of their blossoming relationship as they build their lives and their future together against the backdrop of the racial politics, economic inequities, and social mores of post-World War II of the late 1940s in North Carolina."
Do you think a series based on The Notebook is a good idea? Personally, I sense major trainwreck. Hopefully, this never gets off the ground. The movie was so good, anything will pale in comparison. Agree or disagree? Check out some memorable scenes from the film below.

For those worried about the eye candy deficiency due to Colton Haynes exiting Arrow. Fear not. Producers have added an equally sculpted stud to fill the void for Season 4.
Before we get to that hot juicy ass, let's talk about another new addition. Rutina Wesley of True Blood fame heads to Starling City for a multi-episode arc as reported by The Wrap. Meanwhile, Suburgatory and Enlisted alum Parker Young joins the series as a potential love interest for Thea Queen (Willa Holland). Not a bad rebound ;)
If you're not familiar with all of Parker's assets, check out a few shirtless pics below, along with his memorable car wash scene from Suburgatory. Holy hotness.
The decision to air America's Next Top Model only once a year was a wise one. I actually look forward to hearing all of Tyra Banks' new terms and watching her crazy antics. I never thought I'd think that, let alone admit it publicly.
With Cycle 22 just around the corner, The CW has officially introduced us to the men and women vying for the title. Will another male model take the title again, after Keith Carlos became the first guy to win last year?
My favorite guys based on first impression are Nyle, Dustin and Mikey, while Delanie, Hadassah and Lacey are the ladies I'm rooting for. Check out the 14 contestants below and weigh in on which ones are your favorites.
Someone's getting some new threads.
The network just unveiled a promotional picture featuring Oliver Queen in his new crime-fighting outfit. He's back to his traditional green but ditches the sleeves for his new look. I'm up for anything to show off Stephen Amell's guns :)
Amell along with his cast including Emily Bett Rickards, Katie Cassidy, Paul Blackthorne, David Ramsey, Willa Holland, and John Barrowman attended San Diego Comic-Con this past weekend. During the panel, a highlight reel was shown. Check out the clip below, along with the cast's discussion panel talking all things Team Arrow.
Arrow returns on The CW on Wednesday, October 7. Check out the video after the jump
By debuting Significant Mother in August, it's crystal clear that The CW doesn't have much confidence in the series. To be fair, the network doesn't have a great track record when it comes to launching scripted half-hour comedies.
Based on looks alone though, I would say the network might have a hit on their hands. How sexy does Nathaniel Buzolic look in the official artwork. Wisely, the CW is parading the the 31-year-old in only his underwear.
The show follows budding Portland restaurateur Nate (Josh Zuckerman) and his lothario best friend and roommate, Jimmy (Buzolic). Nate's life gets significantly more complicated when his childhood BFF begins dating his mother Lydia (Krista Allen). #awkward!!! Making matters even worse is that Nate's dad, Harrison (Jonathan Silverman) is determined to win back Lydia.
Significant Mother debuts on Monday, August 3 at 9:30 on The CW. The first season boasts a stellar guest star roster including Linda Gray, Denise Richards and Jerry O'Connell.
Check out the trailer below which features plenty of moments of Buzolic in his undies. I'm definitely going to sample the series. If it's really bad, I might watch it on mute ;)
The CW was the last to make their presentation at this year's upfronts. With less timeslots to fill than the other major broadcast networks, they had less than a handful of new programs to debut. In this case, quality definitely wins over quantity. There's some serious breakout potential here.
By far, the most anticipated is the network's latest superhero drama. DC's Legends of Tomorrow follows the adventures of a ragtag team of heroes and villains confronting an unstoppable threat to the planet. Familiar faces from both Arrow and The Flash appear on the new show. Caity Lotz who played Black Canary reemerges in the spinoff as White Canary. Apparently, she's not dead after all. Sadly though, we'll have to wait til midseason when it premieres to learn how and why.
The CW also found the perfect program to complement the critically-acclaimed Jane The Virgin. I get a modern-day Ally McBeal vibe from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. It'll feature plenty of inner monologues which segue into irreverent musical interludes. Check out the trailer below, along with the descriptions and promos for the other new shows.
For the most part, the broadcast networks have revealed the fates of their shows heading into next week's exciting upfronts week. I'm sure the remaining shows in limbo will learn the verdict this weekend.
For a television addict like myself, it's my favorite time of the year. I can't wait to see what they think will become the next breakout hits next season. Until the big unveiling, check out below to see if your favorites are returning for the 2015-16 season.

Democrats Fear Florida Backlash
A Failure to Seat Delegation Is Seen Hurting in November
WASHINGTON -- Florida's congressional Democrats and the national Democratic Party are concerned about their November election prospects if the Florida delegation isn't seated at this summer's national convention in Denver, party chairman Howard Dean said in an interview.
Whether the state's 210 delegates are seated "makes a difference" in the congressional races in Florida, where the party hopes to pick up one or two seats, and in the presidential race, Mr. Dean said. "I don't think we can have a vote in Denver about whether or not Florida is to be seated" without prompting a divisive floor fight that could damage the party in the November polls, he added.
Florida was stripped of its Democratic convention delegates after defying national party rules and leapfrogging other states to hold its primary in January. Supporters of Hillary Clinton, who won the primary, have insisted that the delegates should be seated anyway.
Mr. Dean and Florida's state elected leaders said Wednesday that the state leaders had agreed to work together on a plan to seat the delegates. But it is still unclear how the votes would be divided or which candidate would benefit.
Supporters of Barack Obama, while agreeing that Florida should have a vote, have done little to promote a seating plan because it probably would narrow his delegate lead over Sen. Clinton. The state party's efforts to hold a mail-in revote collapsed two weeks ago.
Mr. Dean said supporters of the two candidates in the Florida congressional delegation "understand that both campaigns have to give something" to seat the state's delegates and avoid voter wrath.
Florida has 27 electoral votes up for grabs in November, and demographic changes could favor the Democrats. In the House, Democrats are struggling to hold onto the Palm Beach seat the party won after the resignation of Republican Rep. Mark Foley in a congressional-page scandal. Democrats also have their eyes on Republican-held seats in Sarasota, Miami and Orlando, including one they claim to have lost in 2006 because of voting-machine errors.
Democratic leaders fear that if Florida's delegation isn't seated, voters may feel robbed of their primary votes and take out their frustrations on the Democrats in the fall.
Mr. Dean has called on party officials and others who can vote at the convention as "superdelegates" to decide on a candidate by July 1. By that time, all the primaries and caucuses will be complete. Mr. Dean said the July 1 deadline would give the party time to unite behind a winner and settle the Florida issue.
"The voters are going to make up our mind for us," Mr. Dean said. "If we approach [a solution] at the convention, it's pretty hard to fix in eight weeks" before the general election, he added.

A New Dawn in Wisconsin
The tide is turning.
When progressive champion Russ Feingold lost his Senate reelection bid in 2010, it was one of the Tea Party's greatest symbolic victories. In the GOP tidal wave across the country, this loss was among the most painful to liberals. It showed that even well-established, national figures weren't safe. Wisconsin gave the Tea Party one of its most prized scalps.
Now, only five months later, Wisconsin has hosted the first battle that shows the right-wing's tea has gone cold.
Yesterday, in the state's Supreme Court election, challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg declared victory over incumbent conservative justice David Prosser. The 204 votes that gave Kloppenburg the lead will now undergo the scrutiny of an intense recount, and her declaration was more symbolic than final. However the election turns out, though, it is already a symbolic loss for conservatives everywhere and the extreme politics of the Tea Party.
Why is this Supreme Court race so important? Because this battle was one front in the war between workers and right-wingers, which was sparked by Governor Scott Walker's push to end collective bargaining in the state. As disgruntled Wisconsinites mount recall campaigns again a host of Republican state representatives, and plan a similar initiative against the governor himself, yesterday's election was a preview of those fights. Kloppenburg's lead -- and perhaps victory -- is going to fuel those progressive efforts…and should make Republicans scared.
Incumbent justices rarely face real challenges. Turnout for these elections is usually low. Given the Republican dominance as recently as November, it should have been a cake-walk. In this context, Kloppenburg's competitiveness shows that something has changed. And that "something" was the extreme overreach of conservatives' war against workers. The response has been seen in the streets of Madison for nearly two months, in solidarity rallies that have taken place around the country. And in the nineteen counties that had voted for Walker five months ago, which voted for the Democratic candidate yesterday.
The Tea Party rose in prominence for several reasons. Their unapologetic objections to the Obama administration tapped into real fear and frustration around the country in the summer of 2009. Their sensational statements (and costumes) were effective media bait. But their real strength came from their ability to scare, compel and beat candidates. As Republican elected officials felt the pressure of Tea Party-backed primary challengers, they moved to the right or moved out of the way, and The Tea Party Express gained momentum.
Now, the Tea Party approach may have lost a seat for a Supreme Court justice in Wisconsin. It may cost State Senators their jobs, or at least put them in pitched recall fights. Their momentum has faltered.
At the same time, there is a progressive opportunity. Can those who stand with labor hold elected officials who oppose labor accountable? Can pro-worker, pro-job campaigns (including the Job Party, with which I am involved in New York) make incumbents and candidates alike more responsive to a progressive economic vision? Will regular Americans turn back the tide?
If it can happen in Wisconsin, it can happen everywhere. Elected officials of all parties are noting there are consequences to crusading against working families.
This news from Wisconsin comes, of course, as the Tea Party energy in Washington propels the Republican House Majority toward triggering a government shutdown. While we hope for the sake of our country that a deal is reached and shutdown averted, Republicans should especially hope for that outcome for the sake of their political future as well. All they have to do is look to Wisconsin to see the potential consequences of their current path.
Justin Krebs is a political organizer and writer based in New York City. He is the founder of Living Liberally, a nationwide network of 250 local clubs that create social events around progressive politics, and author of "538 Ways to Live, Work and Play Like a Liberal."

This paper presents a basic color image discriminant (CID) model and its general version for color image recognition. The CID models seek to unify the color image representation and recognition tasks into one framework. The proposed models, therefore, involve two sets of variables: a set of color component combination coefficients for color image representation and one or multiple projection basis vectors for color image discrimination. An iterative basic CID algorithm and its general version are designed to find the optimal solution of the proposed models. The general CID (GCID) algorithm is further extended to generate three color components (such as the three color components of the RGB color images) for further improvement of the recognition performance. Experiments using the face recognition grand challenge (FRGC) database and the biometric experimentation environment (BEE) system show the effectiveness of the proposed models and algorithms. In particular, for the most challenging FRGC version 2 Experiment 4, which contains 12 776 training images, 16 028 controlled target images, and 8014 uncontrolled query images, the proposed method achieves the face verification rate (ROC III) of 78.26% at the false accept rate (FAR) of 0.1%.

This is a very nice property with 5-star service! The beach and pools are beautiful and clean. They work so hard to keep everything spotless. Everyone we encountered during our stay were friendly and helpful. Everyone spoke very good English and were easy to understand. One particular bartender who comes to mind is Pastor. He always had a smile on his face, as did all of them; however he makes the best Bloody Mary! I believe he was in the Bikini Bar.
As other reviews mentioned, there were a lot of families here. Although my husband and I kept our kids home, we were never bothered once by kids. The families with kids were all very well behaved. The only down fall was it made us miss ours :( If you are looking for a party atmosphere, you won't find it here. Which we loved - as we came down for a quiet relaxing trip!
One word of advice for those of you used to All-Inclusive. The reviews are correct - everything is expensive. For example $3.50 for a small bottle of water. This was our 5th trip to the Cancun/Playa area and our first time staying at a resort that was NOT all-inclusive. We thought that by not doing all-inclusive we would eat and drink less. NOT the case. We ate and drank just as much and it cost us lots of money. I'm sure it is normal for a 5-star resort; however I like paying one price and knowing everything is paid for. I also thought we'd be able to eat off the resort cheaper, but again, not the case. It seems all prices have gone up in the surrounding restaurants. As much as we loved the Fiesta Americana, we will opt for an All-Inclusive resort in the future.
