TDK Out-Loud
Portable CD Players are very private devices locking you away in your own little world with your favourite musician. TDK hope to change all this with its latest invention the TDK Out Loud.
The device, like the idea is simple - to include a speaker within a CD wallet. Powered by two AA batteries one side of the neoprene case is a speaker, the other a housing for your CD player. In the middle you'll find space for 12 CD's.
The speaker itself isn't the greatest in the world but aimed at what it is trying to do ample for the job in hand.
The Out-Loud is a great idea that has been well executed and with the choice between mono and stereo options it seems to have got all its bases covered. The overall quality of the product is very good - even the zip is study, chunky and solid looking - and you get the feeling that you are buying a product that will improve your life rather another five minute fad. For those wanting to share their music, whether it's in the office or at a picnic, this is a great and simple way of doing it.

Middlemarch Revisited
A friend reminded me of the artistry of Middlemarch when he mentioned how much he enjoyed listening to an audio book of the novel on his way to work. I had to reflect that I had read Eliot first fifty years ago, under a magnolia tree in Fordham's Rose Hill in the Bronx, caught up in Dorothea's story but equally aware that I had yet another novel to read that week for Dr. Santaniello's English Fiction course. So taking up the book again, I was surprised and humbled by the number of times I had to read the following passage, Edward Casaubon's proposal of marriage (in letter form) to Dorothea.
I am not, I trust, mistaken in the recognition of some deeper correspondence than that of date in the fact that a consciousness of need in my own life had arisen contemporaneously with the possibility of my becoming acquainted with you. For in the first hour of meeting you, I had an impression of your eminent and perhaps exclusive fitness to supply that need (connected, I may say, with such activity of the affections as even the preoccupations of a work too special to be abdicated could not uninterruptedly dissimulate); and each succeeding opportunity for observation has given the impression an added depth by convincing me more emphatically of that fitness which I had preconceived, and thus evoking more decisively those affections to which I have but now referred.
The knottiness of this passage, reminiscent of the frustrating Latin of Cicero, whose periods made me weep in the frustration of incomprehension, works in veritable counterpoint to the fluency of composition – and the ease of the prose rhythms. Casaubon's self-regard, rendered in the subordination of the clauses and in the parenthetical notes to his own assertions are all too great warnings against the very proposal that Dorothea accepts. The weight of the words simply and ironically crushes any hope of realizing the "affections" that he mentions but are somehow buried in the qualifications that he has laid out earlier.
Perhaps it is too easy to comment that novelists do not write like this anymore. But I have to ask if that also means that our contemporaries do not make the demands upon us that the great Victorian writers did?
Twelfth Night
As we were tidying away the Christmas decorations, marking Twelfth Night in this somewhat tedious, somewhat reflective manner, I could not put by for the season the poem that follows. Southwell, as you probably are aware, was an English Jesuit Martyr, executed in 1595 as a traitor for his missionary work among English Catholics in the reign of Elizabeth I. How the times seem to frame the meaning of the Incarnation.
By Robert Southwell
Campus After-Life
The setting of Robert Stone's new book, Death of the Black-Haired Girl, is the vale of tears. This campus novel transcends genre largely through the psychological effect of place. Not so much as a New England college town but as the trial ground where acts of faith, betrayal, retributive justice, and redemption take place, and where, of course, evil constantly threatens.
The plot centers on the adulterous affair that Professor Steven Brookman has with his beautiful, brilliant and possessive student, Maud Stack. The title leaves no doubt as to the outcome of the affair. Vehicular homicide ends their parting quarrel. Her death is at the center of Stone's meditations on love, the sanctity of life, abortion, vengeance, and fate – providence if you will, in the Divine Economy. Some critics have mentioned that they find the central relationship between Brookman and Maud insufficiently developed. But frankly I found myself too bound up in the peripheral characters who form a virtual chorus of speculation and assertion on deep matters of conscience, to be too concerned with the affair. The moral geography of the novel is never less than that of a battlefield, with real weapons and fatal or near fatal encounters.
The sense that the horizontal events of earthly life intersect with the verticals of the spiritual radiates throughout the book.
Faith and Transcendence
As would be clear to anyone who read the review in Commonweal of J.M. Coetzee's new novel The Childhood of Jesus, the work is not a biblical narrative concerning the Holy Family. Serious playfulness to the point of obscurity challenges a reader of any of Coetzee's works. It is as if one sits across from a great chess master in part in awe, in part in frustration as he moves his pieces in ways that both befuddle and illuminate. I find his prose and his unique insight compelling, if not compulsive, reading. The plot suggests some sort of parable in that the story concerns a young boy who in the course of the novel emerges as demanding, gifted, visionary, and troubling. He is accompanied by an adult who assumes responsibility for his well-being. When on the ship that transports them and unspecified others to a new life, the boy loses the papers that should establish his identity. The frame of the story involves a journey to a new beginning (Novilla is the city where Simón, the adult, and David, the boy, arrive.) They receive new names. [There are no surnames.] Simón reflects that they have been washed clean of their memories: their identities, adult and child, are fluid, unfixed by parentage or nation. The novel ends in a journey to another new beginning: the impulse grounded in escape from the society to which that have been inducted, one, although benign in intent, threatens the uniqueness of the child David.
Benjamin Black
The prize-winning Irish novelist, John Banville, leads a double authorial life writing detective mysteries under the penname, Benjamin Black. I have a friend who refuses to read Banville's Dr. Quirke detective stories because he, my friend, ruined a summer holiday by starting an early novel in the series. Quirke's character simply depressed him too much to finish the book, and by extension, he spoiled his vacation. I must admit that Quirke as a pathologist and canny Watson to a dour Holmesean DI Hackett affects me in the opposite manner. Banville creates, with an admittedly dismal joy, a neurotic near-alcoholic sorting out the dingier crimes of Dublin in the nineteen fifties. With a nod to that other Dubliner, James Joyce, Banville offers an array of characters that populate an equally broad array of watering holes. And the patter of the speakers might mix happily with that of those who accompany the journeys of Leopold Bloom. We know of the childhood darkness that feeds the melancholy root of Dr. Quirke's soul: his abusive upbringing at Carricklea, a Christian Brothers' orphanage, and his subsequent adoption by Judge Garret Griffin who with his natural children simply complicate the primal scene of Quirke's upbringing. Quirke suffers yet another blow, the loss of his wife, and then the aching burden of discovering his daughter, who had believed she was the child of Quirke's step brother. No wonder the man has hands shaped to fit a glass that holds the spirits that will lift his own – or not.
The latest novel in the series, Holy Orders, offers us an apparently inexplicable murder, a Gypsy "tinker" encampment, threats to Quirke's daughter, an avenging sibling, and a pedophile priest. Yet the real heart of the work is Banville's development of Quirke.
"Consonance" echoes in my head: reading Edward Williams' 1968 novel Stoner I felt I was hearing my own thoughts. There is more than wishful thinking here. The prose is enviably compelling, but, hubris apart, I find that the narrator's voice mimicked the inner monologist that, for want of a better phrase, talks my thoughts to me. I know that I am not alone in this. The book's reissue some years ago occasioned remarkable reviews. A brief look at the Amazon web page that features Stoner will more than confirm that.
The plot of the novel is devoid of grand incident: the title character, a poor farm boy, manages to work his way through the University of Missouri. He develops a great love for literature and has a clear aptitude for analysis and criticism. His mentor, a senior professor, guides him through his dissertation and also manages to divert him from enlisting to fight in the First War. Stoner becomes a brilliant teacher, a hen-pecked, nay pathologically dominated husband, and ultimately a victim of his wife's malice. She estranges their daughter from her doting father. Stoner's passionate and liberating love affair with a graduate student collapses, despite great depth of affection, before the pressures of university politics and the threat of scandal. Stoical acceptance balances the support of literature and scholarship as Stoner unselfconsciously finds his way to eccentricity – yet all within the compass of his small university classrooms.
Poison Review
I had been looking forward to reading Colum McCann's Transatlantic since I first saw notice of its publication. His earlier Let the Great World Spin, which won a National Book Award, and Zoli I had found remarkable works.
Some novels take us where we had rather not go. The strength of the narrative voice beckons onwards despite a sense that there will be moments of selective page-skipping, a blanking out of what is too unpleasant for the inner ear or eye. Yet we read on to take ourselves to places and experiences that we can never have. How often do our notions of aberrant states, criminal worlds, political tyranny or the stark shock of alien customs derive from fictional accounts? We rely on the author, make an unspoken contract with her or him, to represent honestly what we do not know. There is a complicity of acceptance – unless we feel misled through lack of authenticity or the poverty of style or the falsity of emotion.
I almost put down The Panopticon by the Scottish writer Jenni Fagan. The language was rife with Scottish dialect slang, and the more familiar Anglo-Saxon expletives; the setting was dark, and the young people represented formed a nightmare group of adolescents. I shuddered, imagining them as students in a class I had to teach. The novel presents a first person narrator, a Scottish orphan who has been the ward of the state for her entire fifteen years. Her language matches the abuse she suffers, driven by her drug use, and she records her deepest conviction and fear: that she is the subject of some "experiment" designed by the authorities to control her – hence the Panopticon of the title. Ms. Fagan writes from her own experience; she was an orphan in the care of institutions all her early life and, as she asserts in interviews, is determined not to cheapen or sensationalize the difficulties of such a life. The author's success in transcending what might have maimed or even killed her, tempers the telling but certainly does not slacken the tension. Life for Anais Hendricks is constant dissembling, a defensive tactic she has to adopt if she is to retain her self-esteem and her freedom. The story opens with the threat of a criminal charge pending against her: assault and battery of a policewoman. Anais remembers nothing of the incident (her drugged state displaced her consciousness) but she is too aware of the consequences of conviction: incarceration in a "secure unit." For the time being she is housed with other teenagers in the Panopticon, a circular prison with its central tower lodging guards who can inspect her at their choosing.
Tourette's As Resolution
The unreliable or limited narrator filters experience; to represent this, a tortured or puzzling use of language embodying the speaker's voice pushes towards incomprehension. I am thinking of the opening of Joyce's Portrait; Stephen's infant consciousness defies easy recognition of sounds, shapes, environment. The language Joyce employs in its incompleteness carries the meaning through denying it – on first glance. Faulkner does something similar in the opening of The Sound and the Fury – and we can name many more.
Rereading Jonathon Lethem's Motherless Brooklyn forced a consideration of narrative limitation to mind. Lethem's Lionel, if you remember, suffers from Tourette's Syndrome. Unlike Joyce's Stephen, he will not mature to leave behind the prose that offers us infant sensibilities, and unlike Benjy in Faulkner's novel, Lionel possesses a critical intelligence and verbal sophistication. As a narrator then, Lionel both speaks out of his Tourette's plagued consciousness and reflects on its workings. He understands himself to be "twitch" or "tic" governed and, in his interior monologue that carries the narration, he reflects upon this state.
There & Back Again
South Carolina native Marly Youmans has published four novels, two young adult books, and three collections of poetry. In A Death at the White Camellia Orphanage, she offers a Southern Gothic coming-of-age novel, featuring the precocious, eleven-year-old Pip, a hobo who travels back and forth across Depression-era America.

This is the third work of yours I've seen with this character (I am assuming its the same character). Is she the same? If so, does she have a name? If not, I noticed the pendant on all three are the same, is there certain meaning you have prescribed to that detail? I don't mean to pry, I just love hearing artist's take on their own work and processes.
GREAT piece, as always.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Excellent as always
I missed this one. I'm going to have to look through your work again and find the pieces I missed, as well as pop over to DeviantArt to check out the story you wrote to go with each picture. I always look at your work of Annika for inspiration while I'm writing my own stories, so thank you for that.
As for this particular piece. Well there's not much I can actually say here. Pretty much all the faults I can see have already been pointed out, save one, and it's a minor thing. Her cloak is tattered and torn, and she is spattered in a bit of blood, but on a battlefield she'd be a bit messier than that, even in winter. Some nicks in the armour, or cuts in her breeches would have just added to the intensity of this moment.
But other than that, everything is good. Once again you've captured mood very well, especially by focusing on the anger and blood, rather than the horrors of combat. It's an emphasis that really works for this piece.
Thanks for sharing.

I took a chance with this cereal and now I can't get enough of it. The flakes are perfectly flavored, and are very crispy. The strawberries aren't like other cereals where they don't absorb the milk and stay dried and nasty. The strawberries in this cereal absorb the milk perfectly and are just like fresh cut strawberries were just added when you poured the cereal. I highly suggest this cereal to anyone and everyone! I do wish that GV would come out with a cereal of just the flakes so that I could add my own fruit. But, for now, I am completely satisfied with this 'Strawberry Awake' cereal and hope it never changes! Good job on this one GV! :)
I don't think I've fallen in love with a cereal like this one before. I almost finished the entire 12Oz pack in 2 days ;#
Ate it for breakfast, dinner and repeated till I almost emptied it. There are real strawberries #dried) and they taste tangy-yum. This is my fav amongst all GV products.. Thank you Walmart & GV!

Jury finds activist Tim DeChristopher guilty of both charges
Ravell Call, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Emboldened by supporters' tears and a stoic acceptance of the inevitable, a defiant Tim DeChristopher stood on the steps of the federal courthouse Thursday and said his conviction on two federal offenses will only serve to strengthen people's will to peacefully fight against injustice.
"This goes well beyond oil auctions. This goes to the role of citizens responding when government is acting unjustly," DeChristopher said.
The passionate words were spoken to a throng of faithful followers — many of them weeping — following his conviction of violating an onshore oil and gas leasing act and making a false representation stemming from a botched oil and gas auction in December of 2008.
An eight man, four-woman jury deliberated for about five hours Thursday before returning the verdict that could send DeChristopher to prison for up to 10 years, although U.S. Attorney for Utah Carlie Christensen said later that afternoon that the maximum sentence would not be sought.
Regardless, DeChristopher said he's prepared to spend time in prison.
"We know now that I will go to prison," he said. "We know now that's the reality, but that's the job I have to do. … If we are going to achieve our vision, many after me will have to join me as well."
Many who had gathered on his behalf throughout four days of judicial proceedings replied, "I will join you."
Despite his criminal conviction, DeChristopher said he believed a powerful message had been delivered via the supporters who kept vigil outside the courthouse.
"These folks outside showed there is no consequence that our government can throw on us that is scarier than the path we are on right now," he said.
He told the crowd that the powers within the courthouse tried to convince him he was a little finger that could be broken. But the crowd of supporters showed he was a finger on a hand forming a fist, which is not a symbol of violence, but symbolic that "we will not be divided and we will not back down," he said.
"You've shown that your power will not be intimidated by any power!" he said to supporters.
DeChristopher's conviction came after after two days of testimony in which he was alternately portrayed as a deliberate troublemaker out to make an illegal stand or confused young college student passionately caught up in the confusing machinery of a bureaucratic land auction.
In closing arguments, John Huber, the lead prosecutor in the case, told the jury DeChristopher "chose a path of illegality" and caused turmoil and confusion.
He said despite what DeChristopher's defense team would have them believe, DeChristopher acted deliberately and knowingly to break the law when he won 14 parcels valued at nearly $1.8 million.
"He alone chose to cross the boundary of the rule of law and impact the lives of others and the government of the United States."
DeChristopher walked into the Bureau of Land Management offices in downtown Salt Lake City Dec. 19, 2008 and filled out a bidder registration form. That form required his signature acknowledging that he was acting in good faith and was aware that to do so otherwise was a violation of a federal statute.
Later, after he was pulled out of the auction by a BLM special agent, that officer testified that DeChristopher "laughed" when told of the parcels he won and their value. He then, according to Dan Love, asked how much trouble he was in.
Huber said the two had a "gentlemanly" conversation in which neither Love nor DeChristopher characterized as threatening or intimidating.
Instead, DeChristopher appeared boastful, according to Huber.
"Was this an accident, was this a mistake? Not after 14 parcels and $1.8 million," Huber said.

Photo Of The Day: Codie Young Is Most Likely To Start A Backstage Book Club
As you may remember, we R29 editors were quite excited to share our own reading recommendations this summer. However, Codie Young picks up where we left off in this latest image, shot backstage at Richard Chai.
Sure, she's being pulled and primped in all different ways, but Young stays focused — captivated, you may say — by a piece of literature you've probably read before: The Bell Jar, by Sylvia Plath. But, we wonder, how will she continue once the beauty team starts on her manicure?

Resident Evil 5 - Xbox 360
After the sheer brilliance that was Resident Evil 4, what on earth could Capcom do to top one of gaming's true classics? Well, if Resident Evil 5 is anything to go by, simply churn out a whole new batch of the same old action.
This time the setting heads out into the brightness of Africa. Long gone is that dark and dingy zombie infested mansion, and even the more varied environments in the fourth game are nothing in comparison to the deviation shown in Resident Evil 5.
That being said, it does bring us to our first bone of contention with Resident Evil 5. With the series continuously being a staunch member of the survival horror genre, this time the "horror" part seems to be nothing more than an afterthought. Gone is the claustrophobic atmosphere witnessed in previous games in the series, replaced by a much brighter outdoor experience that simply lacks scares.
Fans of the over the shoulder viewpoint, and stop to aim methods that served the previous game so well can rejoice as they remain fully intact. The viewpoint does its damn level best to show as much of the action going on in front of you as possible. Though it does have to be said that your chosen character seems to occupy a larger portion of the screen than in the last in the series.
Nobody could have escaped the fact that this time you don't take on the onrushing hordes all on your own. This time you have a fully fledged compatriot to blast alongside of. Sheva, partnering your own Chris Redfield, has obviously been lavished with time and affection as she acts in your best interests for a large part of the time.
But not always. A few times during our play through she'd happily get herself blocked in a corner, particularly when faced with one of the game's more powerful boss type enemies, and slowly but surely find her life slipping away. Equally, whilst you may wish to conserve ammunition in order to make sure you're never left pressing an empty trigger, she'll happily blast away to her heart's content.
On the plus side, she will gladly rush to your aid if you do find yourself struggling as the enemies pile up. She definitely packs a steady aim and she'll pick off monstrous enemies like there's no tomorrow. Plus, if your life is really at its last, if she has a little something to boost your health in her armoury, she'll help you back on to your feet.
Speaking of which, the inventory system is universally terrible. While the idea of sharing items between the two characters is a nice addition for gamers with a strategic mind, the pitiful number of slots you both hold (a tiny 9) is woefully small. You can fortunately swap and change at the end of each chapter, and sell or buy thing you do or do not want. But the tiny number of available slots is a real annoyance.
That all being said it still packs the same old gameplay of Resident Evil 4. It has its flaws as mentioned above, but the gunplay is still up there with the very best. The lack of ability to move as you shoot may frustrate some, but it still remains to offer some truly enthralling in-game thrills.
What has slightly changed is the game's focus. While previous titles included a wide variety of puzzles in need of solving in order to progress, Resident Evil 5 is certainly much more geared towards action.
While all is fun, although slightly dampened by the numerous flaws constantly scratching at your gaming mind, the real action is in co-op mode. Taking control of Chris and Sheva with a fellow gamer is truly fantastic. Co-operative gaming hasn't been this exciting for quite a while. Gone are the few irritating AI flaws, replaced only by the talent constraints of you and your fellow gamer. And it's always more fun to have a human to scream obscenities at than a few lines of gaming code. Mercenaries mode also comes fully intact as an unlockable extra, and not only offers some truly exciting gameplay, but is also fully co-op enabled.
And all is incredibly good looking. The game world has been lavished with a mass of detail, and the sheer number of comprehensive enemies on screen doesn't bring any kind of halt to proceedings.
Resident Evil 5 is a truly great game. It looks good, it offers an exciting ride, and the co-op mode is honestly fantastic.
It's just a shame that the flaws do show a series that is on the downturn, and unless things are changed, the next game could be one to miss. But for now, social gamers in particular are going to truly enjoy the latest trek into the Resident Evil world.

BROOKLET - A five yard scamper by Portal's Steven Cox was the difference in a wet and windy defensive battle Thursday night as the Panthers defeated the Southeast Bulloch Yellow Jackets 7-0 in a scrimmage the week before the 2008 opening kickoff.
PORTAL - The second game of Wednesday's doubleheader was one out from becoming official, but Emanuel County Institute's Nikki Ellison belted a two-out single into left field as the rain opened up, and the game was called with the Portal Lady Panthers (2-0) holding a 3-1 advantage.
BROOKLET - Some heads-up base running allowed Ansley Rushing to cross the plate with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, giving the Southeast Bulloch Lady Yellow Jackets (5-2) a 3-2 win over the Brantley County Lady Herons (4-1-1) Tuesday at SEB's home opener.

How Auto Discovery Works
This section describes how client applications use ElastiCache Cluster Client to manage cache node connections, and interact with data items in the cache.
Connecting to Cache Nodes
From the application's point of view, connecting to the cluster configuration endpoint is no different than connecting directly to an individual cache node. The following sequence diagram shows the process of connecting to cache nodes.
Process of Connecting to Cache Nodes
|The application resolves the configuration endpoint's DNS name. Because the configuration endpoint maintains CNAME entries for all of the cache nodes, the DNS name resolves to one of the nodes; the client can then connect to that node.
|The client requests the configuration information for all of the other nodes. Since each node maintains configuration information for all of the nodes in the cluster, any node can pass configuration information to the client upon request.
The client receives the current list of cache node hostnames and IP addresses. It can then connect to all of the other nodes in the cluster.
The client program refreshes its list of cache node hostnames and IP addresses once per minute. This polling interval can be adjusted if necessary.
Normal Cluster Operations
When the application has connected to all of the cache nodes, ElastiCache Cluster Client determines which nodes should store individual data items, and which nodes should be queried for those data items later. The following sequence diagram shows the process of normal cluster operations.
Process of Normal Cluster Operations
|The application issues a get request for a particular data item, identified by its key.
|The client uses a hashing algorithm against the key to determine which cache node contains the data item.
|The data item is requested from the appropriate node.
|The data item is returned to the application.

2500 Yards
I didn't really put that much effort into the last set, just swam through it. The other two guys aren't that big into killing themselves in the pool anyway, so this was just an easy day.
I can feel that my body really needs to rest. 2 weeks away for Nationals! Now that the heat sheets have been out for all to see, it's gotten me that much more excited.
200 Fly, 100 Back , and 200 Free
500 Free, 100 Fly, and 200 IM
The 200 Fly and 500 Free are my only events that are going to have a chance of being TT worthy events at Nationals...and just by the meet layout, they happen to be first events on both days, which makes me happy.
Bilateral breathing shouldn't be that hard but it is for a forty year old that doesn't swim that way. I have no problem doing it when the intervals are not extremely tough for me or when I am warming up. I need to make it a habit.
I think coach wrote this workout with me in mind. It was designed so we could get a good bit of distance in while concentrating on our breathing pattern.
300 Choice (snorkel and bouy)
10 x 25 kick
odds. fly on belly
evens. fly on back
Broken 2500 w/10 @ each break breathe 1/3
This was like the Davis Mile only longer.
Increase effort as distance decreases.
400 pull cruise
10 x 25 @ 30
odd. fly
even. breast
500 for time breathe 1/3
200 w/d
I actually loved this workout because I could really concentrate on what I suppose to do and not worry about a interval.
I moved over one lane and let the "real" distance swimmers go ahead and do what they do best. They worst thing thing about the Davis Mile type swims is when your mind wanders off for a bit and you lose track of where you are.
Visited Pace Academy this morning. Really nice pool and people. Thanks for inviting me Heidi!
400 Warm Up
400 Kick
10 x 50 - :50 (I did IM/Free everyone else did pull)

20 x 25 Back Stroke Drill - Not much detail... I'm really bad at back stroke drills but it does motivate me to SDK a lot more.

Swim/SCM @ Gym:
700 various
20 x 25 shooters w/fins

Didn't think I would get in a swim today. I left late this am for a swim/errands/appt. However, when I arrived at the pool, I realized I had forgotten my suit. I was bailed out by Mini Fort who was home this afternoon because the crew trainer told her to rest her shin splints. (She got them from rowing in the bow seat.) So she watched Lil Fort and her friend while I got in a quick swim at the gym.
Unfortunately, I felt pretty dreadful. Just tired and lethargic. Last time I took a recovery week (before the Warrenton meet), I felt energized. Hoping that feeling will materialize in the next couple days. I also took the opportunity to try out my new nose clips. Since my fav (speedo competition clip) is no longer available on swimoutlet.com, I purchased the speedo silicone clip and the TYR clip. The silicone clip was fine. The TYR clip was a disaster -- way too big. This clip must be made for aged noodlers with extra big honkers. I just ordered this one to try next because I like the low profile feature: http://www.swimoutlet.com/product_p/22104.htm.
Heat sheets for Zones are up: http://www.patriotmasters.org/coloni...ults/index.htm. I have no lane assignments to complain about.

Was feeling like I needed to spend some time working on starts, especially back starts. I generally don't have time during morning practice to focus on starts because of limited time. So I went to the pool after work just to focus on starts.
Short warm up
swim 200 free
swim 100 back
swim 50 breast/50free
kick 200
Backstroke starts:
Not sure of actual count as I wasn't keeping track but as a guess;
about 2 or 3 as glide only after entry, focusing on getting a tight streamline
3 or 4 kick to breakout
3 or 4 as 3-4 strokes after breakout
and 2 for a full 25.
Fly starts:
2 off blocks for full 25, hard kickout then easy speed to wall
200 easy swim for cool
±1000 yards
After the swim meet I took it easy for a couple days. Monday was 3,700yds - main set was a 1,500yd pull set. Tuesday was 3,600 with the MYM team that included a nice 1,800yd mid distance set.
Today I was on my own and decided to start more focused workouts. Today was kick-targeted.
Warm up:
500 swim - every 4th length backstroke
Kick set 1:
500 dolphin kick w/fins, alt. back/side by 50's - strong effort
300 pull w/ tube*, no paddles
(* - I was at the hardware store yesterday and saw a wheelbarrow inner tube and since my son and another triathlete I know have trouble getting their legs up, I decided to go "oldschool" and pick up an inner tube. Of course, I needed to try it out to make sure it was going to work the way I remembered it working for me back in the early '80's)
Kick set 2:
4x(100kick @ 1:45 AFAP, 25kick @ :45)
I was surprised when I hit the first one at 1:33. I followed it up with a 1:30, 1:31 and 1:30(fly) - not bad since I've been a lazy kicker this season.
300 pull w/ tube, no paddles
Kick set 3:
5x(75kick @ 1:20 AFAP, 25 kick @ :40)
I held 1:01 to 1:03's
300 pull w/ tube, no paddles
Kick set 4:
6x(50kick @ 1:00 AFAP, 25 kick @ :30)
100 br pull
Cool down:
8x25 @ :30 IM order
200 cool down
I was pleasantly surprised by this workout. I usually hate kicking, but the combination of sprints and easy kicking kept it interesting. Of course, going faster than I expected to helped a bit, too.
I was doing OK, but then I headed out for a run with a friend. I was expecting an easy road run but ended up with a trail run with quite a few climbs. Tired legs left me pretty winded after 5 miles!
Can't believe that I fly to Florida tomorrow morning. Seems like there is so much to do before then - and remembering not to wear a swimsuit I want to pack to the pool in the morning.
Today's workout was actually pretty decent - I felt better throughout my warm-up and most of our practice focused on having smooth, good technique instead of AFAP sprints. Whew! That helped my confidence a bit. Here's what we did:
400 Warm-Up
1 x 300 Kick on 6:00, progressive faster 25s
4 x 50 All Drill on 1:05 (did alternating one arm fly)
1 x 200 Free on 4:00, smooth technique
3 x 100 Free on 1:40, smooth 500 pace
1 x 200 Free on 4:00, smooth technique
4 x 25 FAST from a dive on 1:00 (more below)
3 x 25 Extra lengths to get back to block
200 Cool-Down
Total Yards - 1975
The good, smooth technique 200s felt really good. Not focused on outright speed, but more of ease through the water and distance per stroke. Relaxed the whole way and felt decent.
For the 100s at a 500 pace, I just swam the 100s with a stronger pull, but not pushing by any means. They were all between 1:23-1:25.
The Fast Sprint from a dive were not as fast as I would have liked, but I didn't push as hard as I have been. On the positive side, my form off the blocks looked good - coach agreed - and I managed to do a :15 25 Fly. Happy with that! All three of my starts (I did one 25 from a push) felt good with no goggle-slippage issues.
Now, just to finish up the work day, finish the laundry, pack, take my daughter climbing (while I watch) tonight, and then off to bed. While I'm not the best flier in the world, I just keep thinking 85 degrees... 85 degrees. And, since there is an outside chance of flurries during the overnight Saturday hours (), I'm really happy to be thinking .... 85 degrees!
To anyone going to Y Nationals, travel safely and I'll see you there. To everyone else, thank you for supporting me through my first taper. I'll keep you posted on how it goes!

It was cold, windy, and drizzly as I walked from the subway to Riverbank this morning. It had rained all yesterday, and last night as well, and I had to step carefully to avoid the earthworms squirming on the pavement. At least the flowering trees are starting to be fully in bloom nowI guess theyre more cued by day length than by warmth, since weve had precious little of the latter.
Today was my weekly sprint workout. I did the following on my ownno workout buddies this morning:
1000 lcm warmup (400s, 200 IM k, 200p, 200 IM d/s)
8 x 150 @ :15 rest:
Odds = k/d/s, IM order, moderate pace
Evens = FR / ST (IMO) / FR, with FR easy/moderate and ST a slow build to very fast (to prepare for the following sprint set)
12-second sprints
24 x 50 @ 1:00:
Odds = :12 sprint + rest of 50 easy free or back
Evens = 6 stroke cycles of perfect stroke at slowest pace where thats possible + rest of length easy free or back
[I used my tempo trainer set at :12 on these. I noted how far I got on the first one of each stroke, then tried to get past that spot on the subsequent sprints. I did first 4 sprints FR, the next 5 BR (I switched to :15 sec sprints / 1:15 intervals for the last 2 of these), and the final 3 BK. I took an extra minute at each stroke change, and ended up swimming this set in 3 different lanes, moving wherever there would be adequate room in front of me and behind me at each send-off.]
6 x 200 FR @ 3:15, odds pull, evens swim
[The pulling helped me establish a 2-2-3 breathing pattern that I maintained on the swims. These were all at moderate pacejust some nice easy swimming to stretch out and relax after the sprinty stuff. These felt good and I wished I could stay and do more, but lap swim was drawing to a close. I sometimes miss the 3-hour lcm sessions my Florida pool had!]
300 warmdown + play
Last Saturday at Asphalt Green workout I asked Coach Craig what aspects of sprinting I should focus on while doing mostly distance training in order to be able to switch back to meet swimming relatively quickly once OW season ends. He suggested that I focus on tempo during my limited sprint setshand speed and foot speed can get dulled by lots of long slowish swimming, and takes a while to build back up. So during my short sprints today I tried to focus on establishing good turnover right from the breakout, rather than building it gradually (which there really isnt much time to do in 12 seconds). In addition to trying to increase the distance I went each time, I also counted my strokes, and tried to increase them by 1 from the initial count. On both FR and BR I was able to do more strokes and go further as I went onBK was a little more difficult to judge the distance, and the stroke count had more to do with how far underwater I went (I need to standardize this) rather than the turnover once I surfaced.
Question for any blog readers: Does anyone have suggestions on what I can do to stay cool in a too warm pool? Temps at Riverbank have been on the hot side lately. Today was even too much for most of the other lap swimmersfolks who usually think the warmer the better were actually moved to complain. I have been wearing a lycra cap, which helps some (it lets the 85-degree water through to my scalp, which is at least cooler than body heat trapped under latex).Im also planning to chill my sports drink next time I swim there, and maybe put some ice cubes in it as well. Does anyone have any other things to suggest that have helped keep you comfortable and happy and energetic when the pool temp is too warm?

Did pretty good until about the 6 x 100 kicks - I even led the lane on the 500 pull & probably should have gone 2nd or 3rd on the main set just before the kicks. Then somewhere in the middle of the kicks, I realized my shoulders were really kinda tired, and it was all downhill from there. The last 10 100's I was sorely tempted to get out at about #5 (in theory because I needed to get ready for work, right?) but Terry was right at the end of the lane yelling encouragement & for some reason I stuck with it. I think I'm glad I did. . .

Got a massage after swimming today. Hope that will help me feel better in a couple days.
I got an email today notifying me that I had been named the Potomac Valley Female Masters Swimmer of the Year for 2009-10. I'm very honored. Awards are given out at 9:50 am before Zones starts on Saturday. I will have to don my tech suit speedy quick after warm up -- which won't be too difficult since I'm wearing a very old kneeskin. I'm in an early heat of the 100 free starting at 10:00 (doing a split request).
As for my events, after mulling it over, I'm going to cruise through the 50 breast just to score points for my team. I don't want to be too tired for the 100 back, which is my 4th event.

It looks like I'll have only a couple minutes rest after my 100 fly in the 400 medley relay before I lead off the 200 free relay. Brutal torture! I wish we had a short break before and between relays.
Updated April 12th, 2011 at 07:35 PM by The Fortress
Still feeling pretty yuk in the water today... While I am still hopeful that the times will be where I want for Y Nats, these last couple of days have wreaked havoc with my confidence levels. I'm trying not to get too worked up about it, but am not having much luck. So... I'm trying to "console" myself with thinking about the beach and focusing more on the experience of swimming at a nationals meet rather than the times themselves. Plus... I am still going to try to swim each event as if it's a relay - so my finishes are stronger into the wall. Here's hoping....
Here's what I did today:
400 Warm-Up
12 x 50 Free on 1:00, descend each group of four
1 x 200 Kick (w/ fins) on 4:00
8 x 25 Kick Fast on :40
8 x 50 Free on 1:30 (odd: fast through turn, easy rest; even: build to turn, fast for the rest - idea: work the turn)
1 x 400 Drill/Swim Cool-Down (did as stroke drill/free swim by 50 - 2 rounds each stroke)
Total Yards - 2200
On the plus side, I'm starting to hit my turns well fairly consistently and coming off the walls with something that kind of resembles speed. So, I've got that going for me anyway.
I checked the heat sheets for my events at Y Nats and I'm pretty much seeded close to the bottom of my age group, but that was to be expected. I know it sounds stupid, but they are supposed to (according to the meet letter anyway) give out medals through 8th place at Y Nats and I'd really like to come home with a medal. Crazy? Maybe. Childish? Probably. But, it would still be really cool - and my kids would be impressed. . I guess only time will tell.
Two days until I board the plane....
This will be the last post until we return from the meet on Monday April 18.
Taper/Rest workout.
Choice. Fins optional.
#1 moderate
#2 build
#3 50 moderate/50 fast
1 X 75 easy
4 X {start-turn-finish
1 X 50 easy
1 X 50 blocks
1 X 50 easy
WARM DOWN: 4 X 50 easy 1:00

If you have to use this product to install in the cabinet half way I really don't recommend it. The steps of the sink are out of shape. Need to work on the cabinet to be able to fit.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. poor quality because of the roundness of it
Beautiful sink, but the one I received is actually nearly 2" wider in diameter than I calculated on - width is slightly more than 19", despite the specs stating 18.24" W and L. Disappointed by the inaccuracy. Wishing there were more pictures, since the back of sink exposes plumbing and the "stepped" sides of the basin look very angular and more geometrical than the look I was going for. Will make due, but know that I would have made a different selection if the size had been represented true and I had seen a different angle of the sink. Just a warning that the description is right about this being a "MODERN" sink.
We installed 2 of these in a bathroom remodel. They came out absolutely beautiful and we couldn't be more thrilled! We had previously considered a very similar sink design from a major home improvement chain for $350 (pair) so this is a considerable savings! We partially sank these into a counter but their design is flexible enough to be completely counter top if you want. Highly recommend.
I had the task of replacing a sink vessel in this style and this was the perfect match at a nearly unheard of price. Delivery took about 7 days and it arrived as scheduled in good condition. The only thing that could have been better is if it had a overflow hole. Very happy with this purchase.
I purchased two of these sinks for my master bathroom. What the photo doesn't show is the detail in the layered sides. This adds a touch of class, making them more modern, but still beautiful for a traditional bathroom. I research a lot of sinks before finally deciding on this one. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!
I purchased this several years ago and it still looks good. I had it installed so that only the first 'layer' was above-counter.

He arrived at 10 p.m.
At in this sentence is clearly a preposition because it can be replaced with another preposition.
He laughed at me.
How can we prove that at in the above sentence is a preposition?
At in this sentence is clearly a preposition because it can be replaced with another preposition.
How can we prove that at in the above sentence is a preposition?
Laugh at, as Bill Franke tells us, is a "phrasal verb" — that is, a construction of the form V + P (Verb + Preposition) which must be treated as a single term with a meaning distinct from the use of the two components in merely accidental juxtaposition.
For example:
There are two sorts of phrasal verb. In the first sort, the P-component must appear before the object of the verb, so it looks exactly a preposition heading a prepositional phrase. Laugh at is phrasal verb of this type; we say
Linguists tend (but usage varies) to call the P-component here a preposition.
In the second sort of phrasal verb the P-component may appear (but is not required to) after the object. For example, we may say either
In this case, linguists tend to call the P-component a particle.
Where the particle is placed in these phrasal verbs tends to depend on the "weight" of the object: the longer the NP which acts as the object of the verb, the more likely it is that the particle will be placed before it:
Accordingly, the best "test" for whether the P-component in a phrasal verb is a particle or a preposition is to offer a Native Informant a sentence with the "lightest" possible object — a simple pronoun — preceding the P-component and ask whether that sentence is idiomatic:
However, there's still one tricky bit here: some phrasal verbs have two meanings, distinguished by particular or prepositional use. For instance, run over may mean either "knock down and tread upon in running" or "examine from beginning to end":
So when you perform your test you must make sure you provide a context:
A preposition doesn't have to be replaceable by other prepositions to qualify as a preposition itself. At is only a preposition, and in many cases it is the only preposition that can be used in particular constructions to express a specific meaning.
Still, in your sentence, at is not the only possibility.
And so on would all work, though they would mean different things.
Laugh at is a prepositional verb, and at is a preposition. Unlike transitive phrasal verbs, prepositional verbs do not allow particle movement (the particle in a prepositional verb being a preposition). The preposition 'always comes before the noun phrase that is the object ('Longman Student Grammar of Spoken and Written English'). We can't say *He laughed me at.
I don't think I can endorse the answers analyzing "laugh at" as a phrasal verb, but they have raised some interesting points.
You have identified one diagnostic for telling whether something is a preposition:
The reason this test fails to show that at is a preposition is that the prepositional phrase (i.e., a preposition followed by a noun phrase which acts as a unit) in the test sentence has a special function, meaning roughly "project something in X's general direction, not very accurately." The prepositional phrase is called a conative argument in traditional usage. Some examples of sentences with conative arguments:
The test mentioned at the start of this answer fails because conative arguments are only formed with at. You are not likely to get a grammatical sentence if you interchange conative at with another preposition.
There are various other properties of prepositions that can be used in addition to the replacement test, however. One that will be useful here is the pied-piping alternation, roughly as follows:
Here are some examples of this kind of alternation (prepositions in square brackets, object noun phrases in round brackes).
This type of alternation, involving prepositional phrases, does not affect the meaning of the sentences. Similar alternations are not available for other word classes, so at is a preposition.
Prove it by consulting a dictionary:
After reading a lot of the above answers and comments, I feel that people are coming at this problem from different and entrenched viewpoints.
First, let me say that I feel it is counter-productive to view multi-word verbs (eg take in = deceive, turn down = reject, show up = embarrass or appear on the scene) as anything other than the equivalents of single-word verbs – even if they are separable (eg She looked up a friend. / She looked a friend up.)
Second, however, though there are obvious MWVs (eg the plane took off) and obvious V + PP constructions (eg he ran to the man), there are many isomorphic constructions in English that are difficult to determine as being in one camp or the other. To quote Phil Hunt (who uses the term 'phrasal verb' in the way ESL teachers do but which term I avoid) (and also plumps for 'preposition' in his example) in this article at Wordwizard:
I'd say that laugh at someone is another hard-to-classify case – the basic meaning of the verb laugh is retained, but an element of ridicule / put down is (or may be) added. Which would make it not the same usage as in laughed for sheer joy at the glorious sight of the canyon walls lit by the setting sun.

Angry Birds Comes to Facebook [VIDEO]
As if Facebook wasn't enough of a time-vampire, now there's this
As if Facebook wasn't enough of a time-vampire, now there's this
So, this isn't a new concept, and if you're an internet video junkie like I am, you've probably seen this done before. But this is my favorite, and I will just never get tired of seeing these kinds of things. The amount of work put into this one minute video blows my mind, and it will blow yours as well.
107.9 The River is looking for writers who are interested in joining our online blogging community.
There's a lot of talk right now about the Web blackout for PIPA and SOPA. And, of course, some folks are mighty confused. That's where we come in.
On Tuesday, we told you about some of the sites — Wikipedia, Reddit and the Cheezburger network among them — that planned to go dark today in protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and PROTECT IP Act (PIPA), anti-piracy legislation under consideration by the US Congress.
They weren't the only stops on the internet to take a stand — here's a roundup of some of the most prominent peaceful protestors.
Have you checked out the new radioPup 2.0?
Who would've thought that a simple Congressional bill aimed at ending online piracy with the same potential to censor the entire internet community would cause such a mass panic? But that's exactly what's going on, especially with Twitter users.
The popular iPhone game Words with Friends can do just about anything: make people smarter, bring people together, even make Alec Baldwin seem even kookier than he already is. Now, it's literally saving lives.
The Beatles and Queen two iconic British bands have been blended together in seamless fashion for a great version of "Come Together," and "Fat Bottomed Girls."
In one corner, we have PlayStation, the video game console engineered by Sony that's currently in it's third evolution on top of its PSP, PS Vita and PlayStation Move installments. Along with game play, users can stream movies and TV shows through Netflix and Hulu, listen to music and more.
In the other, we have Xbox, Microsoft's sixth-generation console that was the first technology in the game world to feature a hard disk drive, which eliminated the need for memory cards. The newest installment, Xbox 360 with Kinect, gives players the ability to use their own bodies and voice as the controllers.
Between feedings, diapers and naps, new parents have a lot to think about. And yes, for all you inquiring tech-savvy parents, there's an app to help track all that. In fact, there are several. The real question, however, is, "Are they worth the download?"
As anyone who's ever watched an episode of 'The Osbournes' is no doubt aware, Black Sabbath singer and solo star Ozzy Osbourne can be somewhat difficult to understand when he isn't singing — but it isn't just the sloppy diction of a legendary rock star that's to blame: Ozzy hails from Birmingham, where the thick "Brummie accent" was recently voted the "least cool" in all of England.
But help is on the way, thanks to an intrepid software developer who's bringing a little gadget called the iBrummie app to your iPhone.

2upGamers Third Encounter Report: Close encounters of the gaming kindWritten by: / / No Comments
After two incredibly successful events held in November and December last year, Glenn Alexander and his team at 2upGamers once again hosted a brilliant gaming evening this past week in Cape Town, filled to the brim with games, interesting guest speakers, prizes, food, drink and, most importantly, friends.
The Third Encounter was an absolute blast!
El33tonline was fortunate enough to attend our second consecutive 2upGamers event on January 20th, graciously hosted by the academy of digital arts, Friends of Design in Cape Town.
El33tonline Editor-in-Chief Lisa and I appeared at Friends of Design on Bree Street a little after 6pm to set up and help out where we could, but Glenn and the team were already cranking at full speed to get everything ready for the 7pm start ‒ dozens of seats and a collection of game stations waited in great anticipation!
2upGamers' Third Encounter began proper a little after 7pm and Glenn welcomed all of the attendees (over 100 of them!) before introducing the evening's guest speakers, as well as Friends of Design's Eva Csernyanszky and 2upGamers organisers Ashley O'Neill and Hylton Arendse.
Andrew Royal from South African online retailer TakeALot was at Third Encounter to talk about the growth and community of the site, while EA's Brad Pidgeon from Australia provided an excellent presentation on EA's future games, EA South Africa and the importance of community.
(Note: El33tonline will be diving into Royal and Pidgeon's presentations in more depth soon.)
Of course, El33tonline was in attendance and Lisa gave away an ADSL router and a R750 shopping voucher sponsored by South African ADSL service provider Afrihost, while special spot prizes also found new homes in a quick-fire round of giveaways.
Once the presentations were complete and a bunch of great prizes had made their way into the collection of attendees, the gamers made their way to the stations to play FIFA 12, Fight Night Champion and Need For Speed: The Run, and they also grabbed a few drinks and slices of delicious pizza on the way!
Attendees also took the opportunity to spit some hectic game with one another, and at any time during the evening you would be able to hear in-depth discussions on the latest games and much more.
Thanks to 2upGamers and Friends of Design for hosting such an amazing gaming evening! It was awesome meeting all of the gamers and hearing some very interesting presentations!
Look forward to El33tonline's continued coverage of the Third Encounter event in the near future!
Also be sure to start making plans for the next 2upGamers event, taking place on March 2nd – be there p33ps!
