On Monday, I rode my bike to home depot and back, as well as a round trip to the grocery store. On tuesday, I rode to work and back. Nothing too exciting, except the mileage from these trips puts me at over 1000 miles since I started keeping this blog. It's also roughly the 6 month anniversary of starting the blog, so I guess it's a big milestone in a couple of ways right now.
1000 miles in 6 months means an average of 5.56 miles a day, every day, since I started. Figure in that I only bike about 2 out of 3 days a week, and that means an average of 8.34 miles a day on the days that I do ride. I'm pretty proud of that.
These first 6 months have been easy to walk and ride in though. The weather has mostly been nice. I hope to keep up the pace over the next 6 months once the weather turns, we'll see.

text: Bermocoll for Stone Paint A new application for an old product AkzoNobel is justly proud of the many groundbreaking discoveries its researchers have made in the laboratory. But innovation takes many forms, and sometimes it's about understanding that an old product can be used in a new way. Which is precisely the case with a product called Bermocoll® EBS 481FQ. Bermocoll is a family a products called "nonionic cellulose ethers" that have numerous applications in the paint and construction industries. Bermocoll products are usually used as thickeners, stabilizers, and pigment dispersants in paints, and to provide workability and enhanced adhesion in cement and gypsum-based systems. But a technical team in China has come up with a new application for Bermocoll® EBS 481FQ, in response to customer need. In the Chinese construction industry, a coating called "stone paint" is often applied to exterior walls. This "stone paint" is a highly viscous material, somewhere between paint and cement. In China and elsewhere in Asia, it is used in a way similar to stucco in Europe and North America, to give attractive and often interesting exterior effects. The coating system may include stone chips or colored sand that are held together with a binder – a system that is, in a sense, something about halfway between paint and cement. However, many builders experienced problems with "whitening" or "blushing" with their stone paints. Those attractive exterior walls were not so attractive when these problems occurred. Our team in China began to explore potential solutions, and they discovered that just a small quantity of Bermocoll® EBS 481FQ added to the stone paint formulation effectively impeded the whitening and blushing. They also tested it against competitive products and came away convinced that they had a winner. And when they showed the benefits they had observed in their trials to their customers, Bermocoll in effect sold itself. In a little over two years, it has assumed a leading position in the market as an additive to impede whitening and blushing in stone paints. For more information: Bermocoll website

Confession: I Was a Friend of a Russian Spy
Given what's going on in Washington right now, I had better come clean before I'm subpoenaed: I was friends with a Russian, indeed an actual high-ranking Soviet, spy. Pretty close friends, in fact.
His name was Yulian Semyonov and he was putatively a colonel in the KGB. He was also their best-selling author of espionage fiction, not the first novelist to have based at least some of his work on real-life spying (Fleming, Greene, LeCarré, etc). Write what you know, they say.
Yulian and I knew each other for about seven years, meeting initially in Mexico in the eighties to form the International Association of Crime Writers -- the first writers' group with officers on both sides of the Iron Curtain, probably under KGB auspices -- then the Soviet Union, Spain, the U.S., and then again in the USSR. He once stayed in my Los Angeles home in the company of the minister of culture of Nicaragua in the days of the Sandinistas, a dashing fellow who bore more than a passing resemblance to Ché Guevara. Yulian himself resembled Hemingway. They were en route to Managua and wanted me to come with them. (There goes any potential job I have in the Trump administration!)
I have written about this before but now -- with congressional committees grilling people about the likes of Michael Flynn and Carter Page with the specter of Russian blackmailing looming in the background -- I have to come forward with the following observation:
If you knew somebody anywhere close to the upper echelons of Soviet society then (and now -- Russia today is virtually the same thing with more SUVs), chances were above ninety percent he/she was a spy on some level or in close contact with one. The only exceptions were the dissidents -- and some of them were spies. If Sly Stone had been Russian, he would have titled his famous hit "Everybody Is a Spy!"
If I know this, the CIA and the NSA must know this and everybody on those congressional committees (well, maybe with a few exceptions) knows this. Also, (presumably) Michael Flynn and Carter Page knew this. The whole thing we're watching now is essentially a partisan charade, on the off-chance you hadn't noticed -- in which case either you've had a lobotomy or work at MSNBC.
So why did I join that international writers' group when I suspected even then the KGB was paying? Well, curiosity. I'm a writer. It was a great chance to see a distant and somewhat forbidden part of the world and get to know people I would almost never have a chance to meet. Am I glad I did it? Of course. Did it have an effect on me? The opposite of what might have been intended -- it turned me away from socialism or anything like it, never to return. From the moment I first arrived in the Soviet Union, I hated what I found -- other than those gorgeous churches and some pelmeni and other treats you can get in the Russian Tea Room on 57th Street. I felt I was in a giant jail and wanted to get out almost immediately.

It's not just adults whose sleep problems often go undiagnosed: Children also are at risk for undiagnosed sleep problems. A recent study points to a partial explanation for this: Very few pediatricians are trained in sleep issues, and many do not feel confident in making diagnoses related to sleep.
Using a questionnaire that was distributed to 700 pediatricians, all of whom were members of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the study evaluated the screening practices that pediatricians use to identify possible sleep problems in children. The study also looked at how knowledgeable pediatricians are about sleep problems that are common to children, and whether they received any formal training in sleep during their medical education.
The results are troubling news for the many parents of children who struggle with disrupted sleep. Despite a widespread belief among pediatricians that sleep issues are important to children's health, many of the doctors surveyed showed a lack of basic knowledge about sleep issues, and few had received any specific training in sleep medicine.
Researchers reported that:
• 96 percent of pediatricians believe it is their job to provide treatment guidance on issues related to sleep and sleep problems
• Only 18 percent of those surveyed had received formal training related to sleep and sleep disorders
• Fewer than one in six pediatricians reported feeling confident in their abilities to provide guidance to parents about their children's sleep
The pediatricians surveyed also appear to have gaps in their knowledge about the sleep issues that can affect children. When asked a series of questions about specific sleep disorders:
• Only 13 percent were able to answer questions about snoring correctly
• Only 13 percent responded correctly to questions about sleep apnea
• Only 29 percent had correct answers to questions about bed wetting
• Only 8 percent answered questions about narcolepsy correctly
Formal sleep training appeared to make a measurable difference in pediatricians' ability to incorporate sleep into treatment. Among the minority of pediatricians who had received training in sleep issues, these doctors demonstrated a greater knowledge of sleep disorders, reported higher levels of confidence in providing counseling and diagnosis of sleep problems and were more likely to screen for sleep problems in their patients.
Another troubling result? Only 12 percent of pediatricians believed that parents would bring up their children's sleep issues at a doctor's visit. This lack of confidence unfortunately speaks volumes about the overall lack of communication about kids' sleep between parents and pediatricians.
For children, the consequences of undiagnosed sleep problems can be serious. Complications to their mental and physical health that arise from poor sleep can start early and last well into adulthood. Children with sleep disorders face greater risks of:
• Obesity
• Cardiovascular problems, including high blood pressure
• Mental health issues
• Behavior problems and developmental issues
Sleep disorders, including insomnia and sleep apnea, are not just sleep issues for adults. Kids can suffer from these problems as well, with similar effects on short-term daily functioning and on long-term health. Parents, it's important that you pay attention to your child's sleep habits, and be prepared to spot the signs of disrupted sleep. In children, some signs are easier to identify than others, and sleep issues do change as children age and develop. Here are some red flags to watch for:
• Trouble falling asleep
• Waking often throughout the night
• Tiredness first thing in the morning
• Mood changes
• Lack of focus at school or around the house
• Snoring
If you have concerns about your child's sleep habits, bring them to your pediatrician. Work with your child's doctor to help make -- and keep -- sleep a priority, and a regular part of the conversation at your child's check up.
In order for our doctors -- pediatricians and others -- to provide effective guidance and treatment for our sleep problems, they must be trained and educated. We know most physicians believe sleep is a critical aspect of health: it's time that their professional education gives them the tools they need to treat sleep seriously, and well.

A panel of the Ninth Circuit yesterday, on remand from the Supreme Court, tossed out the remnants of the lawsuit of the Christian Legal Society at the U. of California's Hastings College of Law. (Details, and a link to the ruling, can be found here in Lyle Denniston's reporting at SCOTUSBlog.) The CLS might start up a new round of litigation if grounds emerge for doing so. Meanwhile, Hastings will apparently get away with what Justice Alito, dissenting last summer, rightly called the "marginalization" of religious faith on its campus.
The new Congress should take up the legislative remedy sketched by me and Robby George in an August NR article (behind the subscriber wall): a denial of federal funds, modeled on the Solomon Amendment, for any college or university that discriminates against student religious groups as Hastings has transparently done.

Hmm, this week's chapter was nice in that we have Itachi and Sasuke fighting side-by-side, but some of the things presented seem out of place. The translation I think had a large part to do with it, as some of the word choices used are just very un-Kishi like and other times just make me cringe at how bad the sentence structure is. Maybe I'm being too nitpicky – it is a free scanlation – but it just ruins the mood of the chapter when a supposedly genius like Kabuto messes up his own words and Itachi starts cracking jokes (Dr. Snake? Really?). That aside, this chapter was a good set-up for the battle to come between Kabuto and the Uchiha brothers, but I think the more interesting part then seeing Kabuto's transformation was learning more about the backgrounds of Karin, Suigetsu and Jugo.
Kabuto's new snake-sage mode was a surprise, but now that I think back it makes sense for Orochimaru that have tried to gain this technique. Each of the Sannins had an animal-aspect: Jiraiya had his toad, Orochimaru had his snakes, and Tsuande had her slugs. Since Jiraiya managed to master his toad sage mode by studying under the head toad guru, why couldn't Orochimaru and now Kabuto have done the same. On the same line of thought, we could very well see Tsunade pull a slug sage mode on Madara in their current battle, though the thought of changing into half-slug can't be too pretty :p
The only downside for Kabuto though is I doubt his sage mode will be nearly as powerful as the others, not because it is inferior but because I don't think Kabuto truly mastered it. Despite proclaimed to be a genius of sorts, we now know that all of Kabuto's powers have pretty much been stolen from others. The guy practically has no special powers to call his own, everything he has today was taken from somebody else. Kabuto doesn't seem like the type to want to work hard at mastering something on his own, he would much rather attain power through taking short-cuts and stealing what others hve already obtained through hard work. That's why I believe his sage-mode is going to be mostly show with not much bite, not worth the time of two Susanoo-users in my opinion. Jiraya and Naruto both committed blood and sweat to master the frog sage mode technique, it makes me doubt that Kabuto would have the same commitment when he received his current powers so easily by stealing from others. Kabuto will put on a fight to give Itachi and Sasuke to show-off their teamwork, but I think he's still fated to lose – his only saving grace is that the brothers will have to go easy on him because he holds the key to stopping the Edo Tensei technique.
The more interesting part of this chapter was learning more about the history behind Karin and Jugo. People have joked in the past that Karin was an Uzumachi because she had red hair, but who knew Kishi would actually reveal it to be factual. So all direct descendants of the Uzumachi clan have red hair (Naruto is only half-Uzumachi) and have a strong life force, allowing some of them to possess high regenerative powers it seems). This helps explain some of Naruto's unnatural resilience in battle as well, as we've seen recover inhumanly fast before. It was attributed to Kyuubi's chakra powers before, but maybe it was Naruto's Uzumaki blood at work the whole time.
The explanation of Jugo's powers and those of his clan also sheds a lot of light on why they are so powerful, yet seemingly can't control their own power. It seems that Jugo's clan possessed bodies that can absorb nature chakra easily. This is the same chakra that Naruto uses to empower his speed and strength while in sage mode. But we've also seen that the inability to balance this chakra can spell disaster to the user. When jugo is in control of the nature's chakra, he's calm and able to communicate with the animals, but when it builds up he turns into a monster. Perhaps the reason why Sasuke was able to quell Jugo during his berserker tantrums was because his genjutsu was able to help Jugo balance the nature chakra within himself.
That's my thoughts for this week. Let's hope Kabuto puts up a good fight next chapter, but I don't expect this to last more than two chapters at the most.

My band just landed our first show ever at the Whisky , but I've never been there, so I am curious as to how it sounded and how you guys felt about it. Check us out at: Reticent Unfortunately we can only keep 3 songs on there at a time. We just recorded our new demo. Listen to the song titled "Life in Heaven." That is one of our newest songs. I appologize for the quality, and lack of vocals, we are recording the vocals tomorrow. We did this demo for Bobby Kimball, singer of ToTo, who wants to record us and possibly bring us as an opener for ToTo, and he just wanted a copy of the songs to get an idea of how/where to record. If anyone knows of any free band sites where you can upload more than 3 songs, please let me know!

Children and Hunger in Philadelphia
Historic rates of unemployment, foreclosure, and lack of access to healthcare have stretched families to the limit. As a result, many are increasingly unable to meet the most fundamental of needs –food. In a report released this Wednesday the Annie E. Casey Foundation reports that 42% of U.S. children are living in low-income families (at or below 200% of the federal poverty level). Hunger remains pervasive and deep particularly in big cities. This fact was brought very close to home after the Food Research and Action Center report on children and hunger showed Philadelphia's first congressional district (which includes Kensington, parts of North and South Philadelphia, and Chester) as the second-hungriest place in the country for families with children.
The Center's report on High Impact Philanthropy in the Downturn features several models and examples of organizations working to increase food security for families. One local featured Model in Action, Philabundance, is convening a Hunger Symposium Thursday, September 22, 2011 in Philadelphia; Mariana Chilton, who also spoke at the Center's Donor Education Seminar 2010, will serve on a panel discussing the effects of poverty on food need.
As the specter of possible future cuts in public programming looms, it is more urgent than ever to find the most effective models in working against food insecurity so that philanthropists can get "the biggest bang for the buck." Donors can refer to the Center's guide for models that are providing the greatest social impact in easing food poverty.

we should serve on a panel discussing the effects of poverty on food need……
August 24, 2011 1:16 pm
Yes…many Americans don't realize that many children are experiencing hunger in the USA!
August 24, 2011 9:18 pm
I know, its really rare in which american children poverty is reflected in the media
September 11, 2011 1:16 pm
Thank you for this reminder. It makes me think of how close my children and I came to going hungry when my husband lost his job a few years ago. He was one of the lucky ones who found a job within 6 months. So many other American families haven't been that lucky. I hope some good ideas to help families in poverty are generated at the symposium.
October 19, 2011 7:20 am
We see so much media coverage on third world countries where lack of food is a major problem. However, it's rare that this is given much exposure closer to home! I really feel we should address and give greater coverage to issues here, as well as continuing to help others.
how can I stop foreclosureAmanda permalinkFebruary 2, 2012 2:51 am
Hopefully I am not sounding too negative, but one of the things that bothers me is that when we think of starving children, we almost never think of it as a domestic problem. Rather, our focus is on continents overseas.
More exposure needs to be given to the problems of child hunger that our children are currently facing right here in the USA.

As bridge blast disconnects Muse, residents seek shelter and phone lines in China
Refugees from Myanmar rest near a temporary shelter in Wanding, in China's southwest Yunnan province, yesterday. Thousands of refugees have fled to China as fighting continues across multiple townships in northern Shan State 10 days after an allied contingent of four ethnic armed groups launched an offensive.
LOCAL internet and phone connections were disrupted in the town of Muse yesterday after an explosion rocked the Swonlon Bridge in Muse township.
U Zaw Min, Muse district administrator, said internet connections were severed entirely, while phone calls were not transmitting audio. An acquaintance was able to send The Myanmar Times an SMS message containing his Chinese phone number, which he spoke from yesterday.
"There is no more internet connection and phone lines are down after a blast at the Swonlon Bridge. It damaged the cable line underneath the bridge," he said at about 12pm yesterday.
U Zaw Min added, "For data transferring, we have to use China lines. We hope to get it fixed soon."
Contacted yesterday evening, U Zaw Min said the telecommunications situation had not changed.
The bridge explosion took place at about 3am yesterday, as fighting continued across multiple townships in northern Shan State 10 days after an offensive by an allied contingent of four ethnic armed groups on police and military outposts in Muse and Kutkai townships.
In addition to Muse and Kutkai, clashes between troops from the ethnic armed groups, which have called their combined forces the Northern Alliance-Burma, and government security personnel have continued in recent days in Namkham township, Shan State, and Bhamaw/Bhamo township, Kachin State.
"I have been using a China line for a while," said Sai Myat Aung of the Shan Cultural and Literature Organisation (Muse). "Today, early morning, the connection was suddenly down."
"The clashes don't seem easily solvable although we hope for the best solution to calm down the situation," he added.
The Joint Strategy Team, a group of civil society organisations in Kachin and northern Shan states, announced this week that some 2000 civilians were pinned down between the towns of Pang Sai and Mong Koe in a border area known as Hai Kaung.
"On November 27, we got information that 2000 people were trapped in the Hai Kaung area ... The number is getting higher than 2000, according to information we got today," U Gum Sha Aung, secretary of the Joint Strategy Team, told The Myanmar Times yesterday. "They are trapped along the river [that forms the] China-Myanmar border."
U Zaw Min confirmed that civilians were trapped in a potential conflict zone, with fighting reported in the hills surrounding the town of Mong Koe.
As of yesterday, about 260 people remained sheltered temporarily at monasteries in Muse town, according to U Zaw Min, while people who fled across the border into China in the wake of the initial Northern Alliance offensive were returning to Muse daily.
Photos from AFP taken yesterday show displaced civilians encamped in lean-tos and sheltering under tarps at a makeshift refugee camp assembled in Wanding, China. Thousands have fled to temporary shelters along the border.
A count yesterday by the Muse district administration office put the number of fatalities due to the fighting at 17, with 57 people wounded.
The Kachin Peace Network on November 29 called for "an immediate cessation of hostilities".
"A peaceful solution to the conflicts in Myanmar is a critical priority for the future of the country and its people. This should be based in open political dialogues that address the longstanding issues which are at the origin of this conflict," the network said in a statement.

Mithya – A great start but poor finish
Posted by harino1 on February 18, 2008
Here comes the release of a film that has been in the festival circuit for a while. Rajat Kapoor takes up the directorial reigns after films such as Raghu Romeo and Mixed Doubles. So, what's in store for us from a filmmaker who loves exploring the 'niche' with 'niche' subjects?
The film takes off with VK ( Ranvir Shorey ), an aspiring actor who has come to Mumbai, like thousands of others…hoping to make it big. He dreams Shakespeare but his reality is more of cartoon fare. The world deems him to be a "loser", "unlucky" is more his take on the situation. And then, one day, fate smiles on him…well, almost.
He gets a break, it's the role of a lifetime and it's packed with action and drama! VK finds himself unknowingly drawn into a whirlpool of events and ends up as a pawn in an underworld plot. VK's face resembles that of Don Raje. The rival gang headed by Shetty (Saurabh Shukla ) and Gawde (Naseeruddin Shah) now exploit the situation by kidnapping VK. It's now time to groom Vk-which is done with the help of the Don's chic-Sonam (Neha Dhupia) who is a wannabe actress. Vk now replaces the Don.
Money, conspiracy, deceit, betrayal, lies…it's the stuff the Mumbai underworld is made of. And VK is about to reluctantly taste all of it…and perhaps a little more. Mithya is a story about destiny and its uniquely ironical ways…humour, drama, romance, suspense and much more.
Mithya indeed takes off as one the finest films that one would have seen this year but eventually post interval the film dips tremendously. The dip is an outcome of the complete change in genre attempted by Rajat Kapoor and his team which primarily involves Saurabh Shukla as co-writer. The film takes off smoothly as a film with great humour and great performances, it then slides into a much 'Bhai-Bhai, Bhaigiri ' film. Director Rajat Kapoor in an attempt to try and be 'niche' has indeed succeeded at being 'niche' but maybe his flow of events in the film might just loose grip from the audiences.
No doubt the film is high on performances. Ranvir Shorey is just so natural both as Vk and the Bhai. He rips you apart with laughter in sequences where he cribs over his lunch menu offered by the goons. Another sequence to watch out for is the Tinu Anand –Ranvir interaction in the don's office. When you see all this you really wish that Rajat would have just left it as a comic film.
Naseerudin Shah is impressive as the rival Don. He expresses well with his frustration sequences and depicts anger with ease via his tone of voice. Saurabh Shukla makes you giggle even when he tries to be serious. Vinay Pathak is a little underused in the film but is really funny as the nutty goon. Neha Dhupia doesn't have much to do in the film but brings in that glamour element. She does much better than most of her other films. Harsh Chaya does well.
Well all in all the film would have been much better provided the writers (Rajat Kapoor and Saurabh Shukla ) didn't mix things up a bit too much. The complexities in the film don't entertain. The 'Amnesia' element introduced in the film just confuses the plot even more, in fact the 'Amnesia' factor isn't convincing at all. The ending too is a little bit silly.
Considering the fact that the film was made way back and has been a film festival material , do go ahead and watch it for such performances are rare. Do note that Sagar Bellary ( director of Bheja Fry) was an associate director on this project.
With already a film such as 'superstar' carrying the double-role element with a mix of action, drama and songs releasing simultaneously; Rajat Kapoor's Mithya is definitely for the multiplex audience.

Not a lot of words... Just a lot of fun!
2 days until Christmas! Happy Birthday Jesus!
How did the wait for the icing to set to hold the house together go? We always find that part frustrating. Guess I don't need to bring down the house I bought ~ I had thought it would be a fun Christmas afternoon activity...
They did a great job!
Great job, Maylin and Pierson. You both worked so hard and it is beautiful.
You don't wait for the icing to set. You buy a pre-made house! :)
Looks like a lot of fun. I need to do that one of these days. It has been forever since I have made a gingerbread house.

Television aficionados must be extremely happy that certain apps allow you to stream TV to your smart phone. Though some media outlets are reporting that society will face a decrease in smart phones, some individuals may beg to differ. With the revolutionary uses of our technological devices, it's hard to imagine a world without them.
The smart phone is still the one item that most people don't leave the house without. Smart phones can also be found accompanying individuals from room to room, like an extension of the body.
This works to the advantage of the television enthusiast. If you're engrossed in a show but need to leave the TV to do chores or run errands, you can still stay connected via your phone. Television streaming is a great way to stay connected to the shows and programs you love. Many streaming options are available, including Directv packages that have the ability to be viewed from an app on your phone or tablet.
Pros of watching television via your mobile device are plenty. You can watch virtually any show at any time, in any place where you have service connection. This means that you don't have to miss your favorite program on your commute home from work, and that you can be in tune to news or other live events anytime, anywhere.
By utilizing services that come with your TV provider, watching it on the go can serve as more bang for your buck. You can easily enjoy your services wherever you are.
Cons of watching TV on your phone are also prevalent. Health studies have shown too much TV is bad for your health, so watching it outside of the television set itself can be considered a negative attribute. Enforce time limits on the amount of television watching you do per day, and include television viewing via mobile phones in that number of minutes.
Watching TV on your phone can sometimes prove as a distraction from reality. This can be taken in a positive or a negative context. If you need a break from the noise when taking public transportation, tune in. The same may not go for sitting around the table at a restaurant with your friends or family.
It's great to stay up to date on current events, world news, educational programs, and the hottest shows in entertainment, but it's also great to be aware of how much time you spend tuned into technology.
The best way to get the most out of streaming TV to your phone is to embrace the benefits, and know your limits. While you shouldn't allow television watching to take over your life, the same is to be said for all entertainment mediums.
Do you watch TV on your phone? Studies have shown an increasing amount of Americans streaming shows. If you are a part of that growing number, be sure to reap the benefits while controlling your use to ensure a well-balanced entertainment lifestyle.

I'm sticking with my tried and true super easy layout for this one. It can't be helped, I love the dies and the layout just works so well for a number of images. I did make a point to offset Neve to specifically be at the point of the die. To counter balance her I included a duplicate mini snowman and a digital sentiment from Make it Crafty.
Did you know there are lots of digital sentiments available? I'll be honest and say that I had completely forgotten about them when the new chippies came out, but they are fancifull and perfect for this occasion.
These Star Snowflake Chipboard embellishments are fantastic! I just love the mini star in the middle. The arms are so delicate too. I used some Stardust Stickles on them, after I had popped them out and onto a piece of scrap plastic. 😉 After allowing them to completely dry, they easily came off the plastic and on to my card.

Viktor Skripnik was left fuming by Zlatko Junuzovic's decision to intentionally earn a yellow card so he would miss Weder Bremen's next outing against Bayern Munich through suspension.
The Austrian got a one-match ban for an accumulation of bookings when he had his name taken with five minutes of the 4-1 win over Hannover remaining on Saturday.
Junuzovic hinted after the game he set out to get carded to ensure he was back for the match against Mainz – considered a more winnable contest – on March 19, telling Sky: "It was agreed, I admit it."
Defender Clemens Fritz will also sit out the trip to the Allianz Arena next weekend after he was booked for the 10th time this season.
Ukrainian coach Skripnik says he knew nothing about Junuzovic's intention and was frustrated the match against the Bundesliga leaders had been treated as a foregone conclusion by his relegation-threatened side.
"For us, even games against a team like Bayern are important," Skripnik said.
"In such games, our team can still develop. I do not know what the players coordinate with each other, but when they decide for themselves to get a ban, I think that is wrong.
"I had quite a few critical words for Zladdi [Junuzovic] in the dressing room. It will be more difficult without two high performers, but we still want to do well."

Wellcome library
I think the question on everyone's lips (and which, thankfully, Sheena was brave enough to ask!) was 'is money any object?'.
The answer was a coy, 'well, not really'. And frankly, it shows.
A bit of background to the Wellcome. The Wellcome Trust was founded in the early 20th century by Henry Wellcome, a self-made head of a massive pharmaceutical company. Wellcome used the wealth amassed by his business to fund research into his interests: medicine, history of medicine and sociological issues relating to the body and health world over, throughout history. Subsequently, the Wellcome collection has been formed: a mixture of galleries, libraries, collections and basically a public educational focus for the trust.
The library itself is basically open to the public as a reference library. New users have to be over 16, have an interest in the subject and provide proof of address. The online catalogues are open to all although there is restricted access to certain materials. For example, the images library has in its collection some sensitive medical images. On request a member of the medical profession may gain access to this but a general browser would not.
The library collections include books, manuscripts, archives, films and pictures. It's housed in a gorgeous1920s building on the Euston road and has had a recent refurbishment: we had a talk in a lecture room next to the glass walled special collections room (about 5 librarians to 1 user! Rows of desks laid out with book cushions) and padded (plush carpet) though some of the book collections to the main library rooms. Users can access free wifi and, despite our guide's protestation that they have a space problem, each shelf has a generous gap for future knowledge and the Wellcome's main closed access storage space is under the main building (really, who can afford central London storage space!).
Having said this, the library is not without its problems: even though Wellcome are solvent enough to catalogue any back catalogue- something which a lot of academic libraries would struggle to finds the funds to do- the cataloguing system itself is at best quirky. Apparently, they use at least 3 different in house cataloguing systems for different collections and within the main medical history collection, the layout of the books is somewhat counter intuitive.
Also, somewhat surprisingly for a medical library, there are access issues for wheelchair users and those with restricted mobility because of the way the lifts essentially bypass some of the security doors. These users can only gain access to some of the collection if accompanied by a member of staff. Also on a practical level, there are many tall ladders and books on tall shelves which could potentially be a health and safety issue.
However, all in all, this was on in my top 3 library visits. Of course, this was also helped by the Peyton and Byrne cafe downstairs and some divine cakes....High recommended.

When I created this site, I thought it would be helpful to include my story of how I got started in abuse recovery. It seems like pretty much everybody who comes to the world of recovery has to start by spilling their guts about where they've come from, and what brought them there. So I wrote it out, beginning at the beginning of my recovery — the worst night of my life — and bringing it right up to that point (about six months after that night). That was my first installment.
Well, time went on, and I joined the Al-Anon mail list, and did another version of that — once again, beginning at that night, and then bringing it up to that date. I don't recall precisely when that was — sometime in the Winter or Spring of 1995. That was my "Al-Anon" installment.
And then I didn't write anything more about what was going on in my life for a long time. I was busy, and things were happening, and I didn't think I had anything all that profound to say. When it got to be time for my anniversary, I decided it was time to write another installment.
And then Faith decided to submit her side of the story. I have included it under the same conditions of any other submission — I haven't edited it for content at all. As you might guess, she and I remember things quite differently, but I'm not going to make a detailed commentary or rebuttal of her submission — her submission is not a rebuttal or commentary on any of mine. Rather, it's here to provide a rare look at two sides of one abusive relationship, and how both parties have handled the time since. She might make another contribution some day.
And then there came the time when it just grabbed me that I hadn't written anything here in almost five years and, rather suddenly, I had something to say, so I wrote my fourth installment. And then someone who had read these stories mentioned how I'd gotten remarried, and I realized that I needed to update things again, so I wrote my fifth installment.

So last week I began my summer long voyage cross country. My first stop is in good ole' Greenville, SC. Where I am presently. I love the riding here, and the weather is hard to beat. Especially compared to the heat and humidity of home. After a couple of weeks of training in the mountains, it will be off to Boston for the Fitchburg stage race. Since I haven't raced since Tulsa, I am well rested and have some good miles in my legs. I also recently started working with a sports psychologist, Chris DuRoy, so my confidence is increasing as well.
After Fitchburg, it will be back in the car for more driving. This time, it's to the west coast. My race schedule will be Boise Twilight, Cascade and then u23 and elite road nationals. Luckily i have almost 2 weeks between Fitchburg and Cascade, so there is no big hurry to drive from coast to coast.
Before I left Dallas, I scored some Sugoi compression socks, courtesy of Bill Ball at Richardson Bike Mart. (Your one stop shop for all of your cycling needs, now offering the Retul fit. Ask for Mike or Gary.) ;-)
I already have some medical grade Jobst compression tights, but they tend to get a bit hot and sweaty. I think the socks will do just the trick in this summer time heat!
At the next few races you will also see me sporting a fresh pair of these....
I am a pretty big fan of the Radars and M-Frames, but these are definitely the most comfortably pair of glasses I have ridden with. It is basically the replacement to the old Racing Jackets, that George Hincapie made famous. The main difference is the lenses in the new Jawbones can me changed. In fact, all of the Jawbones (for the exception of the transition lens models) comes with an extra set of lenses as well as a case. They are a little bit more money than the radars, at $195, but for what you get, it is way worth it. The guys at Richardson Bike Mart already have them in stock if you want to check them out.
Anyways, I am pretty excited about my summer campaign and can't wait to kick it off in Fitchburg. Ashley and I are leaving around the 30th, and all the racing starts on July 1st.
Thanks again to all the readers who patiently wait for my posts. I plan on giving race updates while I am on the road. So check back at the first of the month.
Oh yeah, Metro isn't going anywhere. Just a small speedbump.
To quote the great Corey Ray, "Metrovolkswagenfightneverdies!!"

Time is flying by...
So the last time I posted on this thing, I was back in Mississippi and I had just read about Tyler Hamilton getting popped again. Sad day, whatever whatever.
Fast forward. Where have I been and what have I been doing since?
Well, racing mostly. The team went out and did the crit series in SC, followed by Joe Martin, or, as my brothers down south call it, Jose Martine. We also did the Matrix Challenge, Memorial weekend crits, and Tulsa Tough. The team overall raced well and was able to pick up a few results. I have had a sub par season of racing so far but am optimistic about things still come.I took a brief 2 week hiatus to Greenville, SC to train and stuff. It was much needed. I love the riding out there and the weather makes it hard not to enjoy a long day on the bike. Christian is now running the team full time and he is trying to rebuild the whole program for next year. He is definitely the best guy for the job. I think it will all be ok.
As of now, my plans for the summer are as follows. Leave next week for Greenville, SC and train for another week or so. Then head up to the Boston area for the Fitchburg stage race. I haven't done that race since I was a junior in '06, but it's a good one. After Fitchburg, we will head cross country to Boise, Idaho for a crit and then up to Bend for Cascade and nationals. It is a ton of travel but luckily we aren't crunched for time. This schedule I know for sure, after that I will iron out some details, but i have a good idea what will follow.
I turn 21 today. Not really sure what that means. Kind of a random number really. Just another day of training followed by the Tuesday Nighter.
Hope to see everyone out.
If I don't post for a while, send me an email and tell me to.

Funding the Wrong Military
Another Bad Idea
Good morning Breakfastpoppers. Today is Monday, April 14, 2014. Antoine is here with me at the breakfast table. He requests the pleasure of your company this morning. He is very disturbed about President Obama's desire to dramatically increase the amount of money being sent to the United Nations to support its so-called peace keeping forces. Antoine is serving luscious croissants and lattes this morning. Won't you join us?
A Global Military
Bonjour mes amis. Il est moi, Antoine. I am more than a little concerned about your President's push for a 33 percent increase in taxpayer funding to the United Nations and other international organizations. Your hard earned money will be used by the United Nations to prop up dictators in South Sudan, the Congo, and Mali, to name just a few. The U.N. already has about 100,000 troops scattered across the world along with 15,000 civilians. Clearly, your President Obama doesn't think this is enough. He and the United Nations want more, much more. This insane request comes at a time when your President is trimming your own military and short changing the soldiers in every possible way. This year alone, your President Obama fired nine generals and flag officers. Many generals believe that this move was part of a much larger plan that seeks to reduce United States standing in the world. Efforts are under way to turn your military into a corps of social workers to combat matters of global warming, global poverty and injustice. This plan meshes perfectly with your President's request for additional funding for the U.N. He is working daily to turn your once great nation into a cog in the wheel of a larger global government.
The Future
One World Government
If President Obama gets his way, the U.N., along with other international groups, would receive more than $4 billion in addition to further expenditures for the global military.This flow of your money to the rest of the world is only the beginning. The United Nations is deeply invested in establishing global taxation. The world believes that U.S. taxpayers somehow "owe" the U.N.'s fighting forces this money for keeping them safe in the world. If I could laugh out loud, I would be doing that now.
Enough is Enough!
In this humble bug's opinion, it is time to end the insanity. Not only should you not be handing over your money to the U.N., you should be withdrawing from this corrupt and useless organization. Your Congress should tell your President Obama that they will not sell your nation out for the sake of one happy world government. Your nation should remove itself from the United Nations and send them packing. It really is now or never.
For Love of Country
It is time to remind President Obama that this nation is not his and his alone. This nation belongs to the people and perhaps the bugs too! We will not sit idly by and allow you to diminish and endanger us in the face of very dangerous times. Our interests are best protected by investing in ourselves. It is our military we should be supporting. It is our economy we should be investing in. The United Nations is an organization that would love nothing better than to take away our rights, our money and our standing in the world. Sadly, President Obama doesn't seem to mind.
Antoine's Song
Let's go children of the homeland
The day of reckoning has arrived
Against you tyranny's ugly flag is raised
Poppy - I hope nobody from this administration is reading this or they just might take your idea and run with it.
Our governments lousy treatment of our veterans makes me wonder why anyone would want to join the military today. Will we reach the point where all military personell are provided by private contractors, or will we once again see the draft put in place? It could happen.
I am saddened over the fact that my niece, who is in the army, is unable to recieve the same benefits offered years ago to those who serve our country. The fact that money is being given to the UN just makes me even more upset with our current government decision maker!
It is Mexico that is annexing us.
Let's resign and ask them to relocate to the Third World.
He is doing an awesome job building the moral of the Russian military.
Hxprof, you are right about being prepared for the inevitable. Obama has gotten away with so much already it seems nothing will stop him. Impeachment was tried but it went under the radar, the press didn't cover it much and nothing happened. We must still make our voices heard to our elected officials, but being prepared spiritually is the ultimate issue. Each world power that ever was met their demise at some point. The US may very well go down and we need to be able to trust God in that time. And we need to now. It is sad he and others are subverting our country. He's the pied piper of the liberal party although even some of them are waking up. I realized I need to pray more for him and the rest as well make my voice heard. In the end, what will be will be and we need to be prepared.
The monumental national debt is paying billions to China in the form of interest on the bonds they own that finances the fiscal excesses of our government. We are building the Chinese military for them. The very military that we will be forced to fight when the Szechuan hits the Sushi over the Senkaku Islands, the Spratlies, the Paracels and Taipei.
Sadly my ant friend, we've integrated ourselves into this United Nations thing, and we're certain to see some type of global governance during our lifetime, whether the UN is the perpetrator or merely a vehicle by which someone takes the reigns of global dictator.
Obama is a man who's deliberately playing into this idea of a global government. Leftists in general are oriented this way. As lambservant commented, he is the most arrogant president ever to occupy the Whitehouse, and that's saying alot because we've had many presidents filled with hubris.
Antoine, in your approach to the subject of the UN's role in the world segways straight into what Christians believe is an end of the age scenario - that being the world rule of the antichrist. In that scenario no world power is able to remain sovereign, even the powerful United States. I'm not implying that we simply roll over and accept the inevitable, though I'm very much about being spiritually prepared for the inevitable.
The one statement you made here that struck me is "It is time to remind President Obama that this nation is not his and his alone." That has been his whole presidency. He is the most arrogant president I have seen in this way. If he doesn't get his way he pouts, bullies, threatens, and often does do exactly what he wants regardless of the laws and rules of government. Can we say SUBVERSIVE?
PS Gabby I need to get to know you.
Obama has been the most lack luster president of the USA. I am afraid his decisions are not what I expected. he reminds me of Gorbachov who broke up the Soviet State.
Pop and Antoine,
I sometimes wonder if the Obama Administration has a secret position of Commissioner of Confounding the Public.
I have seen very little proof over the years that the UN is effective, and that's giving them the benefit of the doubt. I am dead set against any more tax dollars going to the UN. Why flush good money after bad?
As always, you make us think. Have a great day my friend.
When Obama was first elected, Rush Limbaugh said that his goal was to diminish America. I scoffed at that, because I could not envision any president who would deliberately do such a thing. Well, I was wrong and Rush was right. It's all right there in Obama's book, Dreams From My Father.
Antoine, bonjour, mon ami. The UN is not the only corrupt and useless organization. The US congress is one and the white house is another. Talk about corrupt, where is Harry Reid when the gestapo is stealing cattle from a rancher in NEVADA! Talk about corrupt and useless. I am sure Obumma would like to put our troops out in Nevada and have the UN use its military muscle with our money. Bring in the clowns.
Antoine - Sadly what you describe is nothing but another page from the play book this administration is following to the letter.
Each page from this book appears fairly harmless and nothing but another irritation for us peasants to endure. But, start putting each of these pages into a book and tie them together, and it becomes alarming.
I have no idea who wrote, or is writing this book, but it sure looks like a step by step plan to me. I fear we may not like the end result when the plan has been completely executed.
Pop & Antoine.....Paula is out for the day. This is Gabby Van Gibberish, famed advice columnist here.....I see that you may be interested in a letter I received recently, as well as my response.
Dear Gabby, My husband has a long record of money problems. He runs up enormous credit and when I try to pay this off, he yells at me to stop spending his money. He tells me to pay the minimum and leave the rest for our kids to pay. Also, he has been so arrogant and abusive to our neighbors, no one speaks to us any more...except for the odd group to whom he gives expensive gifts....adding to our debt! He is also religiously confused. One day he hangs out with Catholics, another day, with a group who claims the Pope is the Anti-Christ and yet another day he's on his knees with Muslims. Finally and the last straw...he demands that before he will speak to anyone, they must sign a loyalty oath. This is so creepy!! Can you help, Gabby? Lost wife
Dear Lost wife....Suck it up and stop whining, Michele. You get to live in the White house for free, travel the world and have others pay for everything you do. You can divorce him any time. The rest of us are stuck with this idiot for 3 MORE YEARS! Get a grip, Gabby
POP: the UN is useless, and we need not give them anymore funding. In fact, we should not be giving them any funding. Of course, we have our president with a phone and a pen, so try and stop the additional money going to the UN. Antoine, you are correct in that we need to stop global warming, and our military is the one to do it. I can see it now... our fierce soldiers at the ready, holding plants to absorb the CO2 emissions, while our fearless leader gives speeches revving up the crowds and telling them how our military corps (please pronounce it with the "p" at the end) is fighting global warming. AHHH. Peace at last.....
I am off to the bar where I will be drinking my way back to reality. Save me a seat....

MIRACLES, SIGNS, etc. Part V
Authenticating a miracle. by Calorius
In an earlier post, Robbo asked the question What constitutes a miracle? I think it is necessary to consider an important and related question i.e. when is a certain occurrence miraculous? This is something that Roman Catholic Church often grapples with, and our friend Robbo being a former member of that institution can identify with what I am about to say. There are fundamental questions to be answered without which we cannot determine if miracles are indeed rare nowadays.
The way I understand it and I may be wrong, in the Catholic Church only the Pope can declare someone a saint. Before the Church can do that, however, the person must have lived at a certain level of purity, died in a certain way, and thirdly, have some miracles attributed to them.
It is like a points system so, for example, someone who is beatified by having lived a very "saintly" life and then dies as a martyr because of the faith, needs only one miracle in order to be declared a saint. Another person, who died as a righteous person but who was not martyred "because of" the faith may need two or three miracles, etc. I might add here that if we follow this system, Robbo has little chance of becoming a "saint" because he starts off with too many negative points and it is a good thing he claims he is no longer a Catholic.
When they go to make the final determination of a miracle in the case for the sainthood of someone, they have witnesses who argue that some event was a miracle and on the other side is an appointed person, the devil's advocate, advocatus diaboli in Latin, who argues that the event was not. I am informed that these sessions are very interesting.
When I lived in Baltimore, I came across the story of one Nun, who was actually one of the founders of the "Daughters of Charity" which owned my hospital. It would seem that she was generally thought of as a good person; she had provided for the poor, washed the feet of the saints, served the community greatly and all that kind of thing. She didn't quite die a martyr's death, but died in a quiet righteous way. The big issue was whether she had performed any miracles.
Years later in the early sixties a little kid developed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), at that time a fatal, untreatable disease. The kid's family went to the grotto and asked the (now dead for many decades) Nun to, you know, say a word to Jesus on their behalf. Well, this story has a happy ending. The kid gets well, grows up to be an adult, and has a family of her own, who are still around. Is this a miracle? Those in favor argued that the disease ALL was incurable and the fact that the little kid was cured was not in doubt, because she was alive.
One of hematology-oncology giants from Johns Hopkins who had personally made the diagnosis, was summoned to Rome, and gave testimony about the veracity of the diagnosis and the recovery of the patient. Then the advocatus diaboli stood up to speak and outlined his counter arguments. It turns out the kid had been given some folic acid by one of the doctors. Could it be that she really didn't have ALL but instead megaloblastic anemia? The two conditions have a similar histologic appearance. In addition, folic acid has some structural similarities with methotrexate, the chemotherapy agent. Could it have been that what they thought was folic acid was really a dose of methotrexate?
I think the case was settled in favor of it being a miracle. Sorry about the long story, but I just wanted to point out one approach to the problem regarding those miracles for which there is some element of subjectivity in interpretation. Because it's so important in Catholicism whether someone is a saint or not (their personal items can become "relics", their hometown and family can profit from pilgrimages; people can sell their image, etc) the Catholic Church has designed a formal test for miracles in this context. This helped to weed out the multiple fraudulent cases in the dark ages. As someone had said, "We have too many saints and not enough sanctity in the church"
If Benny Hinn or any other person wants me to recognize him as a miracle worker, I need to see some doctors' testimonies, before-and-after photographs, etc., and I want him to answer some "devil's advocate" type questions. I will be happy to give expert medical testimony in oncology cases. Otherwise the healings remain similar to the ones we hear about at the Tigari shrine in Larteh; curious events of doubtful veracity and questionable impact.
Yet, I myself believe in those miracles that I have encountered; although again that is based largely on my faith. In this, I am inconsistent and subjective, not scientific. Very long rambling, but all I'm trying to say is that it is not just the performance of a miracle that is based on faith; it is also the receipt of a miracle. The interpretation and attribution of a miracle is based on faith. Even if God were to part the Red Sea again today, there would be different ways of receiving it, and it would only benefit certain people, mostly people who already have faith in God. - Calorius

The Rams host Nottingham Forest in the re-arranged second 'proper' East Midlands derby of the season.
Nigel Clough's side emerged victorious last time around with a 2-1 win courtesy of goals excellent from Jamie Ward and Jeff Hendrick following the first minute dismissal of Frank Fielding.
More of the same please.
Forest may sneak their way out of trouble this season thanks to Portsmouth entering administration and being docked ten points, but on current form they may have had enough even without that helping hand.
Derby, for once, appear to be heading for safety reasonably early and the comfort of midtable mediocrity, a rarity in recent years of peaks and troughs, beckons.
Vital Quotes:
Rams manager Nigel Clough is keen for his side to avoid yet another sloppy start against Forest: 'I hope we will be at it from the kick-off against Forest – that will be the aim and that will be the message,' said the Rams manager.
'We have to play for the whole game and we certainly cannot give anything away early on.'
Skipper Shaun Barker wants the home fans to go home happy: 'It is a really exciting game to play in and we have all got our fingers crossed that we can get a win over Forest and get the double over them this season.
'We just hope that we give the 32,000-33,000 supporters at Pride Park something to cheer about come the end of the game because for those fans, for this club and this division, it is massive.'
The Rams Team News:
Gareth Roberts is expected to return to the Derby line-up after missing the Watford defeat through illness. Jake Buxton will drop out with Jason Shackell returning to his preferred central defensive role.
Jamie Ward is still out after suffering an injury on international duty with Northern Ireland.
Player to watch: Nathan Tyson
Former Forest striker is sure to feature against his old side in a bid to notch his first Rams goal since moving down the A52.
Should he score, I hope he doesn't head for the corner flag…
Forest Team News:
On-loan Wolves defender George Elokobi and winger Paul Anderson both face late fitness tests before the Pride Park clash.
Ex-Ram Danny Higginbotham will return to his former club on the back of scoring his first Forest goal in the victory over Millwall.
Player to watch: Gareth McCleary
Former Slough town and Bromley winger McCleary has finally begun to realise his potential with a series of sparkling performances topped off with goals in recent weeks.
The pacey wide-man has netter four goals in the last couple of months and will provide a real test for Paul Green at right-back.
