The U.S. Postal Service's (USPS) financial condition and outlook deteriorated significantly during fiscal year 2009. USPS was not able to cut costs fast enough to offset declining mail volume and revenues resulting from the economic downturn and changing mail use. Facing an unprecedented cash shortfall, USPS stated that it would have insufficient cash on hand to make its mandated $5.4 billion payment to prefund postal retiree health benefits that was due by the end of the fiscal year. In July, 2009, GAO added USPS's financial condition to the list of high-risk areas needing attention by Congress and the executive branch to achieve broad-based transformation. GAO stated that USPS urgently needs to restructure to address its current and long-term financial viability. GAO also stated that USPS needs to use its flexibility to generate revenue through new or enhanced products. This testimony will (1) update USPS's financial condition and outlook, (2) describe changes made by the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA) of 2006 that provided USPS with greater flexibility to generate revenues, (3) outline USPS's revenue-generation actions and results using this flexibility, and (4) discuss options for USPS to generate increased revenues in the future. This testimony is based on GAO's past and ongoing work.
USPS's financial condition for fiscal year 2009 and its financial outlook continue to be challenging: (1) In fiscal year 2009, mail volume declined about 28 billion pieces, or about 14 percent, from the prior fiscal year, when volume was about 203 billion pieces; revenue declined from about $75 billion to about $68 billion. (2) A looming cash shortfall necessitated last-minute congressional action to reduce USPS's mandated payments to prefund retiree health benefits by $4 billion. In the absence of congressional action, USPS was on track to lose about $7 billion. (3) USPS debt increased at the end of fiscal year 2009 by the annual statutory limit of $3 billion, bringing outstanding debt to $10.2 billion. At this rate, USPS will reach its total $15 billion statutory debt limit in fiscal year 2011. (4) USPS projects annual deficits over $7 billion in fiscal years 2010 and 2011, and continuing large cash shortfalls. PAEA and implementing regulations gave USPS more flexibility to set prices, test new postal products, and retain earnings. USPS has broad latitude to set rates that take effect unless the Postal Regulatory Commission finds the rates would violate legal requirements, such as a price cap that generally limits rate increases for most mail to the rate of inflation. Except for annual rate increases, USPS revenue-generation actions since PAEA was enacted have generally achieved limited results compared to USPS's deficits. To its credit, USPS has taken actions to use its pricing flexibility to address the pressing need for additional revenue. These actions generated some revenues, although their positive impacts were overwhelmed by the recession--with its cutbacks in consumer spending and corporate advertising--and ongoing diversion of mail to electronic alternatives. Looking forward, USPS has opportunities to continue pursuing the flexibilities provided by PAEA to help generate additional revenue from postal products and services. However, results will continue to be constrained by the economic climate and by changing use of the mail. Mail volume has typically returned after past recessions, but much of the recent volume decline may not return. Increasing postal rates may provide a short-term revenue boost but would risk depressing mail volume and revenues in the long-term, in part by accelerating diversion of mail to electronic alternatives. USPS has asked Congress to change the restrictions established by PAEA so that it could offer new nonpostal products and services such as banking and insurance. Allowing USPS to compete more broadly with the private sector could lose money, and fair competition issues would need to be considered. Thus, in addition to its revenue-generation initiatives, USPS will need to continue making significant reductions in its workforce and network costs. When we recently added USPS's financial condition to our high-risk list, we said that restructuring will require USPS to align its costs with revenues, generate sufficient earnings to finance capital investment, and manage its debt.

Rachel Bachman, WSJ, July 29, 2014, tries to suss out what craze will come after the beloved Zumba.
Gyms everyplace ponder this--they need something snappy, with a backstory (maybe ethnicity), that's fun and won't injure.
One new thing is the Disq--which adds strength to movement.
Group exercise brings people to the gym more often--and they renew more often.
The Disq hooks cords around arms and legs--you control the resistance. A former speedskater invented it--the good narrative.
It's male-friendly--the class is called Transformer with Disq.
It's quick--45 mins.
For now, the Crunch chain is using it--but only for 6 mos and for now, only in NY.
By the way--Pogostick Boot Camp tanked.

North Cascades N.P. - Cascade Pass/Sahale Arm
The only road within North Cascades National Park proper heads to just below Cascade Pass and because of this road this hike offers the easiest accessibility to the alpine areas of any in the park. Additionally, this trail affords the most scenery for the least amount of effort of just about any hike in Washington. Naturally it is one of and probably the most popular trail in the park because of this. The scenery more than makes up for the crowds. I visited for the first time in August 2003 and came back again in October 2003 with a party visiting from out of town. During the August visit a fire was raging to the West somewhere in the Glacier Peak wilderness and this led to smoke pouring over Johannesburg and up the North Fork Cascade River drainage. In October the skies were clear and the foliage was turning red at the onset of Autumn. Here are some of the pictures from this beautiful hike:

now halfway through march, i cannot help but sense those little tingles racing along my tender spine while studing your pictures. the rain now falls hard on my roof as the thoughts within begin to contemplate about the upcoming months when the snows begin to dissolve under the weight of summer. thank you

Yeah early, or late, in the season the snow can be a pain if there is a nice trail to be found if the snow were not there. That's another reason, aside from the great Autumn colors, why visiting in late September or early October might be the best time of year.

Nice Pics.
You are right that Cascade pass is one of the easist places to get alpine scenery. But the hike over to Doubtful lake and beyond when there is a foot of snow on the ground was pretty much a grunt for me. Apparently for others, too, because I was all alone.
Timing is evrything in the Cascades.

Come spring, New England is the hub for food festivals — the season is getting started and these states are seasonally focused. Most look forward to the warmer months, when tourists head to the coast as well as the Cape and Islands to relax and enjoy the good food and great weather. A fantastic way to be a tourist is by exploring local festivals that showcase the region's food and drink culture, and food festivals are the perfect place to start!
Dates: March 23 and 24
Location: Newfield, Maine
Head to Newfield, Maine, for Maine Maple Weekend and spend the weekend enjoying free activities at Hilltop Boilers, an environmentally-friendly maple farm that's been passed down for four generations now. Tour the facilities, taste the different grades of syrup and enjoy the festivities in classic New England fashion. You'll be able to taste maple pancakes and ice cream as well as enjoy fudge samplings and maple whoopie pies. Located in the foothills of southwestern Maine, it's also near Stonewall Kitchen, another foodie attraction that offers culinary classes and creates amazing food products.
Dates: April 26 to 28
Location: St. Albans, Vermont
Vermont Maple Festival is the holy grail of maple festivals. Head to St. Albans, Vermont, for two packed days of maple fun. Bring the family and stay at a local inn or bed and breakfast, because the activities will surely tire you out by the end of the day. With morning demonstrations and cooking contests and a craft and specialty food show on the first day, you'll be looking forward to the Pancake Breakfast to get you fueled up for the 8.5 Mile Annual Sap Run! If you're into more low-key events, make sure to take a sugarhouse tour and learn what happens behind the scenes of making maple syrup from local sugarhouse owners.
Dates: May 9 to 12
Location: Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts
Take the ferry to Martha's Vineyard for the Martha's Vineyard Wine Festival and indulge in meeting, greeting and discovering more than 200 wineries from all over the world in this first annual festival. Start off with a reception at the popular Atria Restaurant in Edgartown on Friday, take a tour of the oyster beds while sipping on Champagne on Saturday morning and then head on over to the Grand Tasting, where local restaurants merge with wineries to create an experience unlike any other. Finish off the weekend with a bottomless bloody mary and mimosa brunch in Edgartown. With wine dinners hosted at local homes, this festival will be personalized, approachable and boozy!
Dates: May 31 to June 2
Location: Block Island, Rhode Island
Located off the coast of Rhode Island, Block Island is packed with quaint shops, local farms and delicious restaurants. Explore the island on a kayak or paddle board tour, learn about the island folktales from your taxi drivers and enjoy the special discounts in lodging and restaurants. Discover all about lobsters — from catching them to cooking them! The variety of events during the Taste of Block Island are extensive and change yearly, so be sure to visit their site for updated information.
Whichever festival you decide to explore and discover, make sure to support the local culture; shop from local markets, buy crafts from artisans and bring home ingredients from the area. Nothing like coming home from Maine or Vermont with a jug of pure maple syrup!

If you live in a hot part of the country, Bangalore's good weather will immediately put you into a good mood.
While the centre of the city has remained as it was during the British Raj, the area encircling it is on a constant boom with a vibrant student culture, popular pubs and a major electronic and industrial lifestyle.
As a tourist, you can go see the Bangalore Castle. Modelled on the lines of the Windsor Castle, the one on Bangalore is a great example of the Tudor architectural style. It has beautiful gardens and the wooden carvings. The glass house at Lal Bagh and its botanical garden is a good place to relax while taking a walk. Cubbon park is one of the primary reasons why Bangalore was formerly nicknamed as the Garden City. The picturesque greenery in the middle of the city is stupefying.
You can visit the Peninsular Gneiss to witness the oldest granite formations and also the look at the city from an elevated land. For a perfect end to the day, grab a beer at Toit or Peco's. Follow it up with a grand meal at Koshy's or Ebony, or the hundreds of other quirky restaurants in the city.

Chennai, standing as the fourth largest city in the country, is still known as Madras by many residents.
Kapaleeshwar temple, though always crowded, remains a popular visiting site where one can witness southern India's multi-hued spiritual energy and the beautiful sculptures bedecking it. A place to unwind and enjoy some good street food would be Marina Beach. Those who wish to avoid the crowd, however, should pick Eliot's Beach, which is also relatively cleaner. The Anna Centenary Library is also a great refuge for peace and solace.
If anything vintage charms you, make it a point to visit the 17th century British Fort, St George and the historical neighbourhood of George Town circumscribing it, now thronged with bazaars selling everything from spices to flowers and bangles. Parallel to this commercial hub is the Armenian street housing an 18th century Armenian Church.
Nature lovers will dote over the Madras Crocodile Bank, where these sunbathing beauties can be seen and thoroughly learnt about. On the same lines, Arignar Anna Zoological Park is another must visit, especially for families with children, who will receive the much required infotainment.
Chennai is an unforgettable site of colours and music during January when the festival Pongal is celebrated. Restaurants such as Copper Chimney, Hotel Saravana Bhavan, Dakshin remain widely known for their exquisite versatile cuisines constituting the whole of south India.

Thanjavur is more of a pilgrim centre than a tourist destination. It is also popularly known as the Rice Bowl of Tamil Nadu. The city is dotted with temples and palaces that are reminiscent of the Dravidian civilisation, making it not only a temple town but also a cultural headquarter.
The ancient Brihadishwara Temple with its ochre foundational blocks is a magnificent piece of South Indian temple architecture with the intricate detailing on its walls, ceilings and pillars. The Thanjavur Royal Palace is another marvel that speaks largely of the royalty of the past empires. There is an art gallery that not only houses art pieces and sculptures from the Chola period but also offers a beautiful view of the entire town. It is a delight to watch festivities such as Pongal, Ekadasi or Saraswati Puja over here when the entire city puts up a show and comes to life.
There is a worldwide demand for Tanjore paintings, which have almost become souvenirs for festive occasions of the Thanjavur culture. The artistic brass plates and handloom silk sarees too are beautiful collectibles that are only available in Thanjavur. You can stay at Svatma or Ideal River View Resort to make the trip a rejuvenating one.

Known all over the country for the sacred Sri Venkateswara Temple, Tirupati is located in the Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh. The temple is actually located in Tirumala along with a number of other temples, though Sri Venkateshwara Temple or Tirupati Balaji is the main attraction for visitors. Tirumala is always bustling with energy owing to the many tourists as well as the number of festivals celebrated here.
Legend has it that one should visit Sri Varahaswami temple before visiting Sri Venkateswaraswami. Varahaswami owned the seven hills and agreed to give them to Sri Venkateswaraswami with the demand that he too should be worshipped. And for this, Sri Venkateswaraswami asked his pilgrims to visit the Sri Varahaswami temple before visiting him.
For first timers there are a few things you should keep in mind including appropriate clothing, no alcohol and carrying extra locks for your rooms as well as vehicles. Before visiting the temple, you'll need darshan tickets, which are available at various TTD counters across the country.
A beautiful place with immense spiritual energy, Tirupati is a must visit.

With an intriguing history, the oldest inhabited city in the world is a delight to discover. Visited by people from all over the country, no tour of the south is complete without a visit to Madurai.
Shree Meenakshi Sudareshwara Temple is a 2000-year-old temple and is a must visit when in Madurai. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. There are four towers in the temple and each tower is embellished with a thousand sculptures symbolising an assortment of mythological themes.
There are huge lines at multiple points in the temple so do keep patience. There are also a few rules that one must remember, especially women. Other points of interest in Madurai are Gandhi Museum, Pazhamudhir Solai and Koodal Azhagar Temple.
The food in Madurai is a delight for food lovers! There are small stalls selling mutton rolls, which will have your taste buds thanking you.

This city in Tamil Nadu does not provide much to see unless your sightseeing interests include religious dwellings. In that case Trichy can keep you busy throughout the day with a plethora of temples to visit, such as Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, Brahmapureeswarar Temple, Jambukeswarar Temple and the Rock Fort Temple. There is also a majestic Gallo-Catholic church, St. Lourdes, which interestingly lies at the conjunction of a temple and a mosque, an attribute to secularism and diversity.
The city is also home to a planetarium, located at the Anna Science Centre, which is worth a visit.
Sangeetha, Hotel Kannappa Mannarpuram and Saba are good restaurants for vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Flights to Trichy operate from all around the country, and there are also bus and train services to this city.

Home to UNESCO World Heritage-listed temples, dreamy sunsets and spiritually-uplifting energy, Mahabalipuram is perhaps one of the most visited places in Tamil Nadu. Locally known as Mamallapuram, this was once the capital of the Pallava Empire.
From exciting water sports to classic statuettes, the place is a delight for voyagers. Feel the shore underneath your feet at the Mahabalipuram beach and indulge in some super fun beach activities such as wind surfing and sea diving.
The temples here have a special feature in common, they are built in the form of chariots with open air sanctoriums. The Shore Temple, standing strong like a marvellous rock-cut stone and overlooking the sea is known as the last creation of the Pallava kings. Another wonder in Mahabalipuram is the Panch Rathas, the five monuments that were etched out of a single rock in the 7th century. Pack your travel bags to explore the incredible Indian history by discovering the ageless stories of temples and their incredible architecture. You can get a bus from Koyembedu in Chennai or Pondicherry.

Fondly known as the jewel of the South, Yercaud is a hill station in the Salem district of Tamil Nadu. Known for its stunning beauty, trekking trails and abundant forests, Yercaud is a wonderful vacation spot.
There are various touristy spots in and around Yercaud and your holiday schedule will be packed. Do visit the 32-km Loop Road on which a drive is beautiful and perfect for a relaxed afternoon. There is also an option to go boating here but if you have other things to occupy you, you can give boating a miss. A small walk through a village will take you to Karadiyur View Point. The watchtower here gives you a chance to admire the valley below and the surrounding mountains. It's best to head here on a clear day and do remember to wear proper shoes since there is a lot of walking!
Lady's seat, Pagoda Point and Big Lake are some other tourists spots where you can spend your time.

Claim Type:
Quest Giver
A random ancestor ghost in Necrom
Quest Objective
Random NPC in a to-be-decided town
Type of Quest
Discovery Quest
Location to a treasure(?)
Temple Faction Reputation
Short Summary
Help an ancestor wrap up their mortal affairs before they lose their identity.
Temple Faction rank of (?)
Assets Involved
2 NPCs with unique dialogue
1-2 cell names with unique dialogue
1 dialogue topic (name of a non-existant NPC)
1 item (scroll)
Long Summary
- The player is approached in Necrom by a named Ancestor Ghost (either an Ancestor Ghost model, or an NPC with a ghost shader effect; this is implemented by giving them the ability ghost_ability, a 50% chameleon effect).
- The Ancestor feels like they cannot adequately advise their descendants because their thoughts mostly revolve around a love affair they had when they were still alive. They moved on and married into an existing family, but after death they still remember their affair's face better than that of their children.
- The PC is asked to first scribe, then deliver a scroll to a named NPC in a given city. The scroll contains a goodbye and regret for leaving the lover, as well as the wish that they had a happy life.
- When travelling to the city, the PC learns through dialogue that nobody knows that person. Either through speaking to a sufficiently bureocratic person (temple priest?) or random chance they learn that the person has died in the second era, but a descendant is known to live in another town.
- The (briefly bewildered) descendent is approached, the scroll is delivered.
- The named Ancestor is told that the scroll has been delivered. Thanks are given (along with reputation? or directions to a cache for bad times the Ancestor hid during their life?).
- The named Ancestor is disabled and a generic non-hostile Ancestor Ghost is spawned in their place.

I'm unsure about that. I think the gamey-ness of having a letter pop-up in your inventory is worth the benefit of not having to wander around looking for a quill and ink well (and paper as well) to buy, borrow or steal. Sure it's contrived, but gameplay over realism.

In the vanilla game I don't think there is a quest that ever has the player write anything down for someone. I'm sure that if there was, however, they would need to have a quill and ink well and some paper. It just seems like thats something Morrowind would do

I don't have access to Morrowind at the moment, so it's just dialogue for me. I'll write the dialogue asking for quill, ink and paper.

12-26-2011 11:09 PM When I drag my music into the player, it seems work just fine until I go to play it. I go to the album to play the music, but it just scrolls through the songs; about one per second. When I click on it on my computer however, it plays just fine. What am I doing wrong? Mick Re: Sansa Clip Zip problemOptions
12-27-2011 04:50 AM You should try posting in the Clip Zip section instead of Clip/Clip+. Maybe you will get some answers there. Re: Sansa Clip Zip problemOptions
12-27-2011 07:07 AM Look closely at the type of file and file property details to make sure it's a supported file type and bitrate. Someone recently passed me a lossless WMA file which wouldn't play. Sure it's WMA and Clips play WMA files in general, but they don't play super-high-bitrate WMA. My player skipped over the song like you described. Re: Sansa Clip Zip problemOptions
12-27-2011 10:39 AM As noted above, the files likely are not of a file type compatible with the clip. Here's the compatibility listing from the Clip Zip manual. http://mp3support.sandisk.com/downloads/um/clipzip Music player: Plays your favorite music content from nearly every source (MP3, WMA, secure WMA, Ogg Vorbis, Flac), AAC (DRM-free iTunes). And if you still have a question, post the file type here. Re: Sansa Clip Zip problemOptions
07-04-2012 08:49 AM I have this exact same problem, but it isn't the file format because sometimes they play fine and if it's doing this then it will do it on any folder on the card, mp3 and wma. I have to turn the clip zip off and back on a few times to get it to work right. One time it wouldn't turn off until I held the button down for over a minute. Also, sometimes when I click to play a file, nothing happens except a display of the play button. This is erratic behaviour, not really following a pattern except that it happens pretty much every day. Any help with this? Re: Sansa Clip Zip problemOptions
07-04-2012 08:57 AM It still could be a file format and/or ID3 tag issue, resulting in the files sometimes playing, and sometimes not. You might want to look into these isues. |

As mentioned before, my sister lives in an old 1890ish farm house so she can use beautiful rustic pieces that I can't always use in my decor. Having said that, I could put these beautiful candle holders anywhere in my house and they would look amazing! So here is my sister's first beautiful and extremely simple contribution to Full of Great Ideas. Thanks Carol!
Carol had an old kitchen table with legs five that she picked up at an auction. She cut the table down to make a beautiful hall table and in doing so she only needed 4 legs. Thus leaving her with one beautiful hand turned spindle that could not go to waste.
She cut the top off the spindle to make a flat surface and then cut the spindle into two staggered sizes.
She spray paint them black (or oil rubbed bronze) and when they were dry, she distressed them slightly with sandpaper.
Put some Dollar store candles and berries on the top and TA DA! Look what she made for $4!!!!
Thanks again Carol.

Effective Classroom ManagementI often have teachers ask me what is the best approach to classroom management? As a veteran teacher I have seen far too many teachers fail because of classroom management problems. (Remember, classroom management and student achievement are directly related.) And, all too often I see teachers resort to all types of crazy classroom management plans trying to get a handle on student behavior. Unfortunately, many of these classroom management plans involve elaborate systems of rewards and punishment. For example, writing students names on the board with check marks added next to the name for each inappropriate behavior. Not only is this degrading, but the effectiveness of this classroom management plan is short-lived at best. In fact, often times this classroom management plan can have the exact opposite effect on student behavior. Likewise, rewarding students for behavior that is expected of them sends the absolutely wrong message. Teachers should not reward a student for acting appropriately in class. Rewarding appropriate behavior is not effective classroom management, it is bribery and the students will come to expect it. Don�t get me wrong, I am not speaking about a pizza party or movie after a week in which the students worked well in class. That type of reward is fine as long as it is unexpected. The type of rewards that are bad are the ones in which the teacher promises upfront that if �you behave today, I will give you a piece of candy.� No, the student should behave in class because that is what�s expected. Little Johnny will not throw his pencil across the room, because it disrupts the learning of the other students and can be dangerous, not because he will get candy! So, if teachers do not give rewards or punishments as a classroom management plan, then how do teachers effectively manage student behavior? Easy, the key to classroom management is keeping students actively involved in the entire lesson. This is done with just a handful of simple teaching strategies. Here are five effective classroom management tips you can use in any classroom regardless of subject or content area. These classroom management tips will keep all students actively involved in all classroom lessons. (Remember, keeping students involved in the lesson is the most effective classroom management plan.) 1. All-Write: Instead of having students raise their hand to respond to a question aloud, have all the students write down an answer to the teacher�s question. �Not only will the teacher get much more class participation, but the quality of student responses will also improve. 2. Pair/Share: Have students pair up with a partner and share their answers before discussing it as a class. This gives the students a chance to respond without the anxiety of speaking in front of the entire class and also allows the teacher to �monitor� the room and talk to various students about their responses. The �pair/share� is great teaching strategy to use right after the �all-write� strategy. 3. On-the-Clock: Give students specific time limits to complete tasks and make sure you stick to those time limits. By putting students �on-the-clock� the teacher helps the students stay focused. I even use an egg timer to make this teaching strategy even more effective. 4. Check-for-Understanding: Not understanding the teacher�s directions is a major cause of classroom management issues and student behavior problems. Therefore, no matter what set of directions a teacher gives, the teacher should always �check-for-understanding� by simply asking a couple of students (at random) to repeat the directions back to the class. 5. Do Now: Effective classroom management starts from the second students walk into the classroom. Therefore, the �do now� is a short assignment that the students are to complete as soon as they enter the classroom. Personally, I put up 1-4 review questions on the board every day as the �do now� assignment. The �do now� gives the students something to do right away and is a great opportunity for review. Remember, effective classroom management is not about rewards and punishments. Effective classroom management is about the teacher keeping the students actively involved in the entire lesson. By practicing the teaching strategies above, teachers will greatly reduce classroom management problems. Copyright 2005 Adam Waxler

Derry man indicted for threatening girlfriend with shotgun
Joseph Greenquist was indicted on criminal threatening, second-degree assault and nine other charges in Rockingham County Superior Court in connection with allegedly attacking his girlfriend in July.
Greenquist, 24, was arrested by Derry police on the night of July 29 after the woman fled from her Everett Street apartment and reported the assault, according to court records.
Greenquist forced his 21-year-old girlfriend into a bedroom closet and propped a chair against the door to keep her from getting out, according to indictments.
He then started "pulling the trigger and working the action of a shotgun while positioned outside of a closet so that (she) could hear the weapon while trapped inside," prosecutors said. Indictments say that at one point, Greenquist also choked the woman and slapped her.
He allegedly told his girlfriend that "they would both end up murdered if she did not stop acting like a brat," prosecutors said in an indictment.
Greenquist was indicted on two counts of criminal threatening, six counts of simple assault and charges of false imprisonment, second-degree assault and being a felon in possession of a weapon.
Court records say Greenquist was barred from having a weapon because of a 2006 burglary conviction in Strafford County Superior Court. Greenquist is facing three felonies, but the criminal threatening charge carries the longest potential prison term - a three to 20 year sentence - if he is convicted by a jury. Greenquist remains held at the Rockingham County jail. He will be arraigned on the 11 charges later this month in Superior Court.

Most of us get it. When you want to get in shape you want to get in shape fast. It's natural to feel like this (especially if the clock is ticking before a big wedding or reunion), and one of the toughest facets of trying to get in shape is figuring out how to balance how hard you can push yourself with how much you can really take.
Some of the more committed choose to go with two-a-days, but are they worthwhile? Will they really get you in shape faster? And perhaps most important, can you pull them off without getting injured? This is the real scoop on two-a-days.

Read Why Stride Insoles are the Best
Some of the most competitive runners in the world run two-a-days (also known as doubles) as a part of their regular routine. For them it's a good way to pack a lot of miles into their week so that they reach higher performance goals.
A lot of the time, this two-a-day routine works well for well trained athletes, but it can also lead to overuse injuries and burn out, so it's important to listen to your body. It's also crucial to consider what kind of runner you are (and want to become) and then let that determine whether or not you ought to be gearing up twice per day.
All that said, remember that even if you can't run twice per day, working out twice per days isn't always a bad idea. Cross training is an excellent way to get extra exercise without stressing the same muscles over and over again. Whether you're swimming, biking, or playing squash, don't rule out other workouts as an excellent means for getting fit.
People Who Should Avoid the Two-A-Day
Not everyone should consider double workouts. For one, recreational runners shouldn't have to worry about the added demand. Beginning runners should also avoid two-a-days because of the demand such workouts put on the body. Beginning runners are in an important building stage where they are building up and getting stronger.
When beginning runners try doubles they often end up hurting themselves because they haven't given their bodies enough time to recover between workouts. Instead of pushing the start too hard, beginners should take some time to build a base level of endurance and then go from there.
Most long distance endurance runners should also avoid doubles. Two short runs never deliver the same benefits as one longer run, so experts almost always recommend that endurance runners train for their sport by practicing their sport exactly. In other words, the best way to train for the physical and psychological demands of a long run is to practice running non-stop for long periods of time.
Endurance runners who make a habit of breaking up their run can't prepare themselves for hitting the wall or mile 23 unless they've actually been there. That said, distance runners can often benefit from a half hour afternoon session. This easy run often helps runners with recovery.
Those Who Can Benefit From Doubles Workouts
All cautionary messages aside, there are still many people who can really benefit from two-a-day workouts. Competitive runners who have a strong foundational training base aren't at as great of a risk of injury, so they are likely to benefit from doubles. Runners looking to lose weight or log an excess of 70 miles per week can also benefit from two-a-days, but this isn't the case for everyone.
Important Questions
If you start running two-a-days you should listen to your body and ask a few basic questions. If you can answer these questions and still feel like you're doing well with your runs, two-a-days might be for you.
● After having run two-a-days for about a month, are you starting to see gains?
● Have you been injury free after having run twice per day consistently?
● Are you able to fit your second workout in without creating too much stress on your regular day?
Tips For Starting Two-A-Days
Designing a two-a-day regimen should be strategic as opposed to haphazard. You should ease into them gradually so as not to create too much stress on your body initially, and it's important to have an overall plan. For example, you should start with one or two doubles per week and then gradually increase their consistency. Also consider overall mileage goals when planning your week.
For example, if you are looking to run a long race, you should log more miles. This chart shows a good rule of thumb for doubles.
When You Should Consider Logging Doubles
Race Distance: 5K or shorter
Weekly Mileage Exceeds 55 Miles
Race Distance: 8K to 12K
Weekly Mileage Exceeds 60 Miles
Race Distance: 15K to 25K
Weekly Mileage Exceeds 70 Miles
Race Distance: 30K to marathon
Weekly Mileage Exceeds 75 Miles
Other important tips to consider are the fact that you should maintain a break of at least four hours between workouts, and that you should mix and match your workouts so runs don't become tedious too quickly. You can pair tempo runs with long runs, hard runs with casual days out and much more. Just stay conscious of your body and you'll be well on your way to getting in shape and staying there.

In size, scope and impact, Franco Zeffirelli's ''Jesus of Nazareth,'' is the most formidable of the biblical-theme films showing this pre-Easter week on the home screen. Another drama stemming from the Scriptures is the lavish Hollywood version of Lloyd C. Douglas's novel, ''The Robe.'' And complementing the spring thaw will be ''Easter Parade,'' with Judy Garland, Fred Astaire and a festive wreath of Irving Berlin ballads.
Made for TV, the lengthy Zeffirelli film is one of the better dramas about Christ (Richard Powell), spanning the wedding of Mary (Olivia Hussey) and Joseph (Yorgo Voyagis) and the Resurrection. Filmed in Tunisia, Morocco and Rome, with a cast including James Earl Jones, James Mason, Laurence Olivier, Anne Bancroft, Peter Ustinov and Anthony Quinn, it was shown first in 1977, to critical acclaim. The eight-hour NBC presentation is being extended over three evenings - Sunday, Monday and Tuesday at 8 P.M.
''The Robe'' (1953) - about the effect of Christ's garment on the lives of a Roman slave and the centurion in charge of the Crucifixion - is a compelling story. Richard Burton, Victor Mature and Jean Simmons are impressive, along with the visual splendor. The drama stresses physical action -it was the first CinemaScope feature -rather than feelings and words. But it's an eyeful - Thursday at 9 P.M. on Channel 9.
''Easter Parade'' (1948) - Friday at 8 P.M. on Channel 5 - has the wispiest of plots: a backstage infatuation. It's enough, with 17 Berlin songs and Miss Garland and Mr. Astaire in top form. A peppery Ann Miller adds flavor; her sleek turn with Mr. Astaire to the silken ''It Only Happens'' all but steals the show. The Garland-Astaire duets range from a boisterous rag-tag number to the resplendent Fifth Avenue finale of the title. And wait till you see the Miller high-life strut, with Russian wolfhounds.

Musketeer Gripweed. Points well taken. So I'll contribute now to the content of the actual thread. My favorite of Paul's post-Beatles studio albums:
I don't own them all in their entirety, though I have a song or two from all of them. I'll only rank the albums I own.
1. Ram. In my opinion the best post-Beatles album. Plastic Ono Band and ATMP are strong contenders as well; both are fabulous. But no other post-Beatles album--and very few Beatles albums--captures the wild musical diversity and musical richness of songs that one finds in Ram. In the ending few measures of Dear Boy Paul channels ol' J.S. Bach.
2. Band On The Run.
3. Tug Of War. One of the first ten albums i ever owned. Some of his best melodies. (Can you tell I'm a melody guy more than a lyric guy?) Tug Of War and Wanderlust are fabulous.
4. New. Paul gets unusually personal in Early Days. A nice rare touch.
5. Electric Arguments. Again, we see a kind of musical diversity of song that isn't simply unique to Paul compared to his fellow Beatles but is virtually unique in the music world.
6. Flaming Pie.
7. Chaos and Creation. It feels an injustice to rank Chaos and Creation number 7. Jenny Wren is as good as anything he's ever done.
8. Venus And Mars. A really fun album. The first time I heard Magneto and Titanium Man I thought that, yes, Paul deserves every invective hurled his way. What a ridiculous song. Childish. Why doesn't Paul grow up? But then I found myself humming it to myself and wanting to hear it again. And I did. Over and again. So there you have Paul in a nutshell. The guy isn't a philosopher; let's be honest. He's rarely profound. Lyrically he's not John or George (or a thousand other songwriters), which is not to say he can't write the occasional heartfelt or thought-provoking lyric. But what the guy can do is write melodies and hooks like no one since--who?--Schubert perhaps.
10. McCartney. Plenty of good, bad, and ugly--all. But on balance the good easily outweighs the bad for me.
11. Memory almost Full. This album seems a little unrealized to me. Lots of good moments. A couple of terrific songs. (My fave is "That was me.") But for whatever reason it doesn't work as an album for me as fully as I think it could for reasons I can't quite articulate. I don't know what's missing, exactly.
12. Back To The Egg.
13. London Town.
14. Choba B CCP
A few gratuitous comments. I don't know who's more talented or the better song-writer, John or Paul. It's not a competition, though I find myself stupidly thinking along these lines. Why? When I was younger I never did this. I loved The Beatles. I loved John. I loved Paul. I loved George and Ringo. I didn't feel the need to parse out their every contribution and to weigh and evaluate their exact contributions--as though musical appreciation is a science. I think on balance it's a little ridiculous when I find myself doing that. So I try to avoid "Who's better" thinking. But I think a comparison along different lines is worth pursuing. John said that for him writing every song was "torture." We know that he could, if necessary, write a song overnight. (Help. A Hard Day's Night.) But one does not gather that melodies were floating through his brain 24/7 whether he wanted them to or not. In contrast, Paul always speaks of songs as coming to him effortlessly. He finds songwriting easy. Melodies come to him in his sleep. I wonder whether that helps explain some differences between the two songwriters. John really worked at his songs--his chords are a little more unexpected and unusual; his lyrics a little more meaningful. He played with his guitar and piano until he found an interesting sound. In contrast, Paul sort of cranks out songs whenever he wants. Aaron Copland said that melody was a gift from the gods; melodies come when they do. If you think of melody as the top line playable with one finger on the piano, I think Paul's melodies truly are (taken as a body of work) the greatest in the modern era.
John has his shares of fabulous melodies. Yes, of course. And Paul's chord choices are at times surprising, his lyrics intriguing. But they each had their respective strengths. And I wonder finally whether the very ease at which melodies come to Paul sometimes allow him to create songs that might have shown more soul were he forced to struggle a bit more with their creation. Example: "So Bad." Taken solely as a melody in the manner noted above, "So Bad" is really beautiful. But the song itself is ... well, it depends on one's perspective, I suppose. I like the melody enough to like the song, but I can easily understand how someone might (rightly) think it no better than a silly love song.

Billy Rhythm basically writes off 40 odd years of Paul's work as rubbish……..As is his entitlement it seems.
A rightly peeved Paulbass picks up the gauntlet on Paul's behalf and draws the ire of the Lords of the Board……. And now feels compelled to buggar-off and I don't blame him.
BR knew he was being divisive and should be able to accept his contentious statements would be contested.
Surely this place is big enough for the both points of view. If it ain't…..You can delete me too.

"Billy Rhythm basically writes off 40 odd years of Paul's work as rubbish……..As is his entitlement it seems."
Entitlement? No. Opinion? Yes, although since the OP asked for rankings, maybe the initial post by Billy would have been better posted elsewhere. Lesson learned.
"A rightly peeved Paulbass picks up the gauntlet on Paul's behalf and draws the ire of the Lords of the Board……. And now feels compelled to buggar-off and I don't blame him."
Nothing drew the ire of this Lord of the Board. I simply asked both parties to focus more on why they feel they way they do and not focus on why they think the other was wrong. These are opinions, after all. If paulsbass wants to stay or leave, that is entirely up to him as long as he is civil. That goes for everyone, including yours truly.
"BR knew he was being divisive and should be able to accept his contentious statements would be contested."
That is quite the assumption.
"Surely this place is big enough for the both points of view. If it ain't…..You can delete me too."
It's big enough for everyone's opinions - including yours. No reason for anyone to be deleted.
Now, can we all please just
Thank you.

Well, Paulsbass kinda has a history of showing up to defend Paul McCartney's honour, getting people angry at him leading to arguments, then warnings from moderators; and then proclaiming he's leaving the forum in a huff, never to return. And then returning after 6 months or so to repeat the process. It's a fun game we all like to play!
(For my part, I thought Billy Rhythm's contribution was worthwhile, and completely on topic: He ranked the two albums he liked ahead of the 40-odd ones he hated. Nice to see a think-piece among all those undifferentiated lists of 26 or 9 or 17 random albums.)
But just to stay on topic...hmm, I've already ranked the albums I've heard. So I'll rank the Paul McCartney albums that I'm most-to-least interested in hearing!
1-4. Memory Almost Full, New, Driving Rain, Chaos & Creation - People have been speaking well of 21st Century-Paul for quite some time, enough to get me interested. It's really just a matter of overcoming my instinctive dislike of 21st Century production methods.
(to be continued...I've got work to do!)

There is no ant-bias towards anyone here as far i can tell. As far as i can make out, and what i posted over whenever it was (and this is dragging on for so long it seems like years ago), it was about name calling not the views posted or the opinions held towards Paul's catalogue. By all means disagree strongly (i'm not looking for or expecting complete agreement on every point as otherwise it would be tedious) just refrain from name calling and personal insults. Its one of the very few rules.
Paulsbass apologised for his part and we had moved on from the whole damn thing yet here we back traipsing thru, going over the same stuff. Can we all just draw a line under it all and move on.

Paulsbass, you can't leave now! You're only five posts away from 700 - don't you want to get mentioned and congratulated in the ""Milestone Posts" thread?
Anyway, back on topic...More ranking-of-albums-I've-yet-to-hear:
5-7. Wings At The Speed Of Sound, London Town, Back To The Egg - I need to hear these to complete what I know about Wings' output. All I currently know about these is the singles, some of which I like. These haven't got a lot of critical praise as Wings albums, but I have a predisposed interest in them because the 1970s is my favourite beginning-to-end decade for rock/pop music.

OK, paulsbass that really is enough. This is bullshit. Go, stay whatever. Boo fecking hoo.
If you want to talk about the ranking of Paul's albums, keep posting in this thread. If you want to bitch, moan, and cry, start a new topic in another thread. There is no room for it here.
And everyone else, please stop feeding him straight lines. It is not funny.
If you disagree paulsbass, you are highly encouraged to do so with me via PM.

8-9. Flaming Pie, Run Devil Run - These two I don't know much about, don't know if there's even any critical consensus around them. Maybe they're old enough to feel "classic" by now?

It's the closest thing to a Paul McCartney blues record ('Run Devil Run', depending on your definition of blues for everyone seems to have their own. I'd prefer it over the "synth-pop" material that he'd dabbled in on more than one occasion, but it's not really his "forte", in my opinion. You be the judge:
I like the production but feel as though the album lacks substance, I haven't listened to this one personally since the year it came out, nor do I feel compelled to listen to it anytime soon, but that's just me. 'Flaming Pie' was generally warmly received from what I recall, but I don't really enjoy that one either..:-)

Well I only have 3 of Paul McCartney's studio albums sorry as I had been mainly working my way through the Beatles and John Lennon's albums in the last 18 months but what I lack in knowledge and numbers I have tried to compensate for by being seriously verbose lol (apologies in advance)
1st: McCartney.
This is a very special piece of work. It is the musical equivalent of a self-portrait. Minimalist, pure, simple but capturing perfectly in music the fragmented state of McCartney's life, world and music in that moment. We hear of his affection for his new wife in the simple and melodious Lovely Linda. His amazement at the depth of feelings he can barely comprehend in Maybe I'm amazed, a raw and powerful ballad, one of his best.
Themes of loneliness, a fight to the death between hunter and prey, taking comfort in the love of another. I find the whimsical song about uselessness the discarding of things so valued so bought into and now discarded, gone, - junk - truly beautiful. McCartney sings about his nervous breakdown, not wanting to get up, not being able to get out of bed, just wanting to get out of his head, of just wanting to stay in night after night and in song we learn how imporant Linda was in pulling him through his worst of times.
Paul McCartney is a musical genius. This album is the sound a musical man's heart makes when it breaks, you don't hear tears, or screams, you hear fragments of melody. You hear wistful tunes encapsulating nostalgia, regret and defeat, raw acoustics, a drum pounding like a rapid heart beat as the prey takes flight and raw emotional piano riffs.You also hear strands of comfort love and hope. McCartney's inner world, even in turmoil, is not completely dark. He is clinging to a new love with trembling hands.
It is a deeply personal, auto-biographical album.
Favourites: Junk, Junk singalong, Man we were Lonely, that would be something, Oo you, Momma Miss America, Maybe I'm Amazed, Every Night, Kreen Akrore.
1st equal: Ram.
This is a masterpiece. The inventiveness, creativity, imagination and quirky eccentricities captured in these 12 tracks make this about as much legal fun as you can have with all your clothes on in 46 minutes (ok lol maybe not but you get the gist!) I have difficulty articulating the wonderfulness of Ram.
It's offbeat but it's up-beat, it's simple but it's complex, it's clever, it's witty, it's heart felt, it's home spun with a country feel in places but in others a nod to Spike Milligan and the Goonies is given. It climbs, it soars, and then it slays you with a simple ukelele and a whistle. It's just indescribably brilliant really! I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't love it because if you do, if it is to your taste and you can peel away at the onion finding layer after layer of whimsy and musical joy, you are all the richer for taking the ram ride.
In addition, if you have the remastered version you will have the bonus track Another day. A beautiful song, written from the female perspective so often forgotten and overlooked in popular music. It is the story of an ordinary woman, living a real life, with typical hopes, dreams and disappointments. I consider it one of McCartney's greatest achievements.
Favourites: All 12 tracks. I never skip a thing. I love it.
3rd: Flaming Pie.
This is a great album. I love the acoustic numbers Little Willow, which is achingly sad "no one's out to break your heart... it only feels that way" and Calico Skies with it's simple but emotional lyrics "It was written that I would love you, From the moment I opened my eyes". Heaven on a Sunday is a personal favourite it has a very jazzy feel which for reasons I can't explain makes me think of Steely Dan's Chain Lightening - just something in the 'vibe'. I really enjoy the monster bass line on Really love you, and Souvenir is a powerful track, encapsulating the 'I will comfort you' theme present throughout the album.
Favourites: Another album I am happy to leave the skip button unmolested for
That's all the albums I have - but I do plan to get more and if you are really lucky I will come on here and write War and Peace about each of them as I listen to them haha!
14 April 2010
@plastic - very nice post. You remind me of me when I first joined the Forum in that I had not collected many of the solo albums from any of the Beatles. It's really fun collecting/hearing the albums for the first time.

Paul is the only Beatle I have a full studio album from (I have 9), so I get the not having solo stuff.I love Calico Skies. In my opinion it's in the top 10 of Paul's solo lyrics.
I always thought he become a better lyricist after Flowers In The Dirt to present. Started to right more personally. I agree about Calico Skies great lyrics.

Working with Elvis Costello gave Paul a much needed jolt in his songwriting for the FiTD and Off The Ground era material and then revisiting the Beatles catalgue did so for his solo work after that. Its one thing knowing you wrote and recorded great songs with John but to actually reconnect with that period totally reinvigorated Paul's whole approach to recording music - maybe it also took away some of the fairy dust that is sprinkled over the Lennon/McCartney songbook that everything they ever wrote was awesome. Not saying everything afterwards was amazing and profound, just that it gave him a huge shot in the creative side of his work.

10-12. Press To Play, Flowers In The Dirt, Off The Ground - These are the studio albums I have the least interest in hearing, both because of a strong dislike for that particular time frame, and because the first and third got particularly bad notices. "Flowers" I know is well-regarded, but it has bad resonance with me because I remember never liking "My Brave Face", and because I remember the hype over the Macca-Elvis Costello collaborations of that year, and I bought Elvis' album "Spike" at the time and didn't like it. And I also think "Flowers" has a particularly ugly album cover! (How petty of me, right?)
I remember George saying 'Blimey, he's always talking about "Yesterday", you'd think he was Beethoven or somebody' - Paul McCartney
16 January 2014
Good points @meanmistermustard Definitely gave him a jolt. He also mentioned in his last Rolling Stone interview that he like writes with John in his mind thought they phrased it as the ghost. (Strange as I wrote Ghost the feedback on my amp I left on just went nuts then stopped, been on for 2 hours with nothing lol). Which I think shows Johns passing had a profound effect on his writing, besides losing a dear friend. Maybe knowing they would never reunite, broke his spirits and creativity for that rough period in the 80's. But yeah working with Elvis Costello and on the Anthologies, sparked something in his writing. Rights more personal/emotional material onward from period. I think John said in one of his last interview Paul is a very capable lyricist who thinks he's not.
31 October 2013
Now that you mention it, I have noticed that Flaming Pie (Calico Skies, Little Willow), Chaos And Creation (Friends To Go, Riding To Vanity Fair, and (possibly his best solo lyrics) Jenny Wren), Memory Almost Full (Ever Present Past, House Of Wax), and NEW (Alligator, On My Way To Work, Early Days). have some of my favorite lyrics. I love Band On The Run and Venus And Mars, but both of them are more catchy musical albums then deep lyrical pursuits.

I may get slaughtered but i don't think a lot of the Wings material says anything of note, it's great to listen to, Paul can write melodies and create great songs, but little of it makes you put down your cocoa and ponder what is being sung. Who sits down and thinks hard about Jet, My Love, Mull Of Kintyre (3 big Macca songs)? Silly Loves Songs is a huge "fuck you" to the critics but nothing else (that intro is up there for me). There must be some that make you, not that i can think of many, Dear Friend, Too Many People, but thats '71, must have been a couple between those and Here Today?

I don't know whether "Summertime" counts as the blues per se, but it's pretty bluesy. At least Paul's interpretation of it here is. And it's kind of trippy here to see Paul on lead guitar. I'm not a guitarist, and I have no idea whether his technique is unique or even decent, but to my ears it seems quite fitting for the song. (I apologize if I did not correctly format Billy Rhythm's earlier quotation. I'm still getting used to the editing mechanics in this forum.)

The movie is a collection of laid-back interviews of different gay Christians. Some of the gay Christians interviewed are well-known spiritual leaders in the queer community. For example, Mel White, one of the founders of Soulforce, is interviewed in the documentary. The movie includes a number of themes.
Content in the documentary movie is of value to gay, bisexual, and trans-identified Christians, to parents of queer children, to pastors, teachers, and counsellors. The documentary attempts to cover a wide range of topics of need to queer people and their allies. Do not let the laid-back style of the interviews fool you. The people interviewed are knowledgeable and make many profound points. This is a documentary people could watch many times and still find themselves picking up new insights.
Suicide is a topic that needs to be addressed, especially as it relates to people who are struggling with their sexuality. The topic is not one society needs to address. Suicide is mentioned several times. Should suicide be a sensitive topic for a person, the video should only be watched when there are people present who can offer support and intervention.
Major themes in the documentary include:
• The struggle queer people face. Rejection from people who learn an individual is gay or bisexual. Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and trans-identified people may be rejected by family, friends, and church members when they come out. Even people who are straight, but support queer Christians can find they are rejected by family and friends. Queer people hear condemning messages from many churches and Christian organizations.
• Living in the closet. Living in the closet keeps gay people from being able to see the world as it is. The closet also prevents people from being as creative as they can be out of the closet. Life in the closet is not easy. Straight people who think living in the closet is easy may want consider how difficult it would be for them to hide the fact that they are married and/or have children from their employers for a month.
• Homophobia is based on gender role expectations. Gay rights are a threat to the privileged straight class. Straight people fear gay rights, because they are afraid of loss of privilege and status.
• The gay agenda. One person interviewed makes a very good point about the gay agenda. That person states gay people only want what straight people have always received.
• Misuse of the Bible to condemn gay people. The Bible is a complex and a rich document. When we limit our understanding of the Bible to the literal meaning in an English translation, we lose much of the richness of the Bible.
• Advice for parents and youth, when a young person is struggling with coming out. One strategy mentioned for parents who suspect a child is gay is to give the child a newspaper advertisement or an internet article about the group Parents, Family, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). The parent can make a comment to the effect that the son or daughter might know somebody at school who could benefit from going to the PFLAG meeting. Queer youth should only come out to people who are safe. Young people who think they might be gay are advised to talk to a guidance counsellor at school, not the pastor of a conservative church.
A short trailer of the movie can be seen on the God and Gays, the Movie web site.

The Beer Cafe - Diner Rating and Reviews
Back to detailBased on 2 reviews
With its tenth outlet being launched recently and a grander iteration in the form of Biggie, the original beer haven has taken over our city and our pint glasses. The generic interiors remain the same across the board with minor tweaks here and there, but we love the ticker outside most outlets that is updated with the number of global beers available at the bar at any given time. Their exhaustive list of over 50 – yes, we counted 50 – global brews carefully listed with accompanying tasting notes help familiarise the average patron with imported variants. Frequented by groups of office-goers, corporates and college kids indulging in their VFM beer towers, we recommend you try out a pint or two of their constantly evolving new entrants. We pride ourselves as being beer snobs who've tried quite a few versions across the globe, but are always delighted to find them closer home. Of these, the Belgian Delirium Tremens – a pale blond with a mild dry aftertaste is our fave new find. The intriguingly fruity and spicy original Belgian Chimay Blue made in Trappist monasteries and the otherwise hard to find German Valentins – a zesty Hefeweizen are what we keep going back for. If you're celebrating something big, sample their Spanish Estrella Damm Inedit, which at Rs 1195 for 750ml is their most expensive beer and is worth every penny. Food is where they falter a little bit but recent attempts to revamp the menu have been much appreciated with Fish n Chips and Galouti Kebabs being included, but at no time should your focus waver from the bevy of beery beauties.
