I think of things to blog about all the time but of course it's never when I'm in front of the computer....or I forget them... However, I was telling Dave about this today and while I'm thinking about it decided just to write you..
So you read about yesterday, right? If not, go ahead and read it first, them come back up here and start again.
I have not reached the point yet where I just couldn't move anymore so I'm not sure of my physical breaking point. However, I did stop at the bottom of Dreamy Draw park yesterday and had just a small mental meltdown. My workout yesterday was so physically demanding and it lasted for hours that the last little uphill climb seemed as steep as Mt. Everest in my eyes. I stopped, asked myself what the hell I was doing and okay maybe a tear or two came out of my eyes (or was it sweat?) but it took me a good 3 or 4 minutes to get my head straight again. Walking was just not an option. I had not come that far to start walking so I'm really proud of myself for getting back in the saddle.
Something else I've been thinking about....pushing myself to the next level. I feel like I'm on a bubble and I'm struggling to find the next level. I want to find that physical breaking point...don't ask me why but I just do. How far can I push my body before it says no more!
Today, run drills at the park....tomorrow is biking and Butch's house for boxing. Oh, one more thing...here is a picture of my strawberry salad. YUMMMYYYY stuff and a diet regular. You can't really see how big this salad is but it's half a bag of spinach here!

Swansea are freefalling towards the Championship but Hull's travails on the road offer them a small window of opportunity, writes Andy Brassell...
"It's almost at the point where Hull expect to get nothing from away games, which puts a lot of pressure on to get maximum yield at home. Ominously, the last game of the season – at the KCOM – is against Tottenham."
As a team who looked so revitalised under new management, Swansea's plummeting fortunes in recent weeks have taken a while to fully digest. The opening two months of Paul Clement's reign were such a marked improvement from the Bob Bradley era that it was tempting to think that The Swans were three-quarters of the way towards safety.
The last six games have proved that they were anything but. That stretch has brought five defeats, two goals scored and a grand total of one point. Saturday's defeat at Watford may have been only by a single goal but it was a miserable performance, and one that had relegation written all over it. The gap to fourth-bottom Hull could have been five points, had Marco Silva's men managed a win at Stoke, but their loss means that the deficit remains at a relatively manageable two points.
With the way Clement's team have been playing of late, that gap looks like a chasm, but there is one element of the situation around them that offers them hope. Namely, Hull's away form. Despite eventually losing by twice the margin that Swansea did, The Tigers always looked far nearer to getting something from their trip to the Potteries than Clement and company did in Hertfordshire.
In one sense, this reinforces the current perception that Hull are simply the better team of the two as we come to the season's crescendo; more confident, more organised, with better players and better coached. Yet for all Silva's magic, he still hasn't found a way to make them effective on the road. They have gleaned just a solitary point away from the KCOM in his tenure - at Manchester United, bizarrely, back in February.
It was instructive to hear Harry Maguire, their outstanding defender who scored the equalising goal that gave them brief hope at Stoke, speaking after the game about three of his side's remaining five matches being on home soil. It's almost at the point where they expect to get nothing from away games, which puts a lot of pressure on to get maximum yield at home. Ominously, the last game of the season - at the KCOM - is against Tottenham.
Perhaps with this in mind, Maguire also conceded that taking a few away points is what is in order to complete the job - and finishing it off is what it's about, and what Swansea, when full of optimism, failed to do. There is nothing easy about The Tigers' remaining two away fixtures, at Southampton and an improved (if probably safe by then) Crystal Palace.
So Swansea still just about have their lifeline despite their abysmal run of form. Yet Clement knows that there is no time to waste, and was right to underline the imperative of a win at the Liberty against Stoke next weekend. If they fail to get three points there, it really could be curtains, with Manchester United and Everton their next two opponents.
The relegation battle isn't over yet, but Swansea will probably need a few slips from Hull to get through it - and this year, it seems, a figure less than the magic 40-point mark will almost certainly be good for it.
Conte's Chelsea need pressure to thrive
As excellent as Manchester United were in Sunday's victory over Chelsea, it was difficult not to wonder what had happened to Antonio Conte's side. It was deeply reminiscent of their defeat at Tottenham at the start of the year; a non-performance in a big game that was of far greater significance to their opponents than it was to them. It's understandable that they found it hard to attain peak intensity in both situations, but both will have displeased Conte and reminded him that, even if Chelsea are still highly likely to take the title, there is still work for him to do on his team.

Pennsylvania's Budget and the Power To Tax and To Destroy Part 1
The power to tax involves the power to destroy. I want to be the voice and the hand of the Forgotten Taxpayer. It is feasible to reduce spending. I will not sign any budget that spends more than revenue. I will not sign any budget or any Appropriations Act that spends more, in nominal terms, than preceding year.
"Perhaps the most important thing taxpayers should know is that the state has been spending more than it collects in revenue for six straight years. Gov. Corbett's proposed budget would make that a seventh year. "Commonwealth Foundation 24 February 2014 and Auditor General DePasquale warns of municipal tax increases and bankruptcies.
Acts 10A to 14A spend 1/2 Bbillion dollars on five politically favored multi-billion private corporations that already have the benefit of being tax-exempt. This is corporate cronyism or Welfare to the Wealthy. The Forgotten Taxpayer cannot afford this and these universities are costing the taxpayer too much.
Almost $1.2 Bbillion in subsidies and tax credits to politically connected, multi-millionaire corporations can be eliminated. Lower taxes for all.
No increase in capital budget which increase debt, which is deferred taxation, by billions. In the last three years, the Republican Governor with a complicit Republican General Assembly voted to increase debt by $6.3 Bbillion.
Mega Multi-billion Comcast received $30 million in cash subsidy and $4.5 billion in job creation tax credits. The business aristocracy does well.
There are many more cuts that I am sure can be made. The Governor has a line item veto. Article IV Section 16.
I want to be the voice and the hand of the Forgotten Taxpayer. I am able and willing to veto bills that spend more than revenue, to end corporate cronyism. I am able and more than willing to say "NO" to more spending.
We trust citizens to vote. Why would we not trust the same citizens to spend their money as they think best and to send their kids to the schools they think meet their kids' needs?
I think this is a message that will appeal to Kennedy Democrats.

Holocaust, concentration camps, persecution of jews, Westerbork, Auschwaitz, Bergen-Belson.
Westerbork was the main transit camp used by the Germans during their occupation of Holland to send Jews to the death camps in Poland. Between July 1942, and September 1943, approximately 110,00 Jewish people passed through the two camps. Westerbork was located near Assen, in northeastern Holland.
It was actually set up by the Dutch government before the Nazi invasion, as a refugee camp for Jews fleeing persecution in Germany. After the Nazi takeover, the Germans employed the German Jewish refugees to run their camp in an orderly, efficient manner.

Hellraisers and Alternate Attax are matched up against each other in the Starladder I League Qualifiers to be held on the 11th of August 2016 at 2100 CEST
The Hellraisers roster has undergone quite a lot of changes. From being a dominant roster in their previous iterations; the current roster has not played much of counter strike. However the little that they have played is quite commendable as they have managed to score wins with 2-0 margins over their opponents.
Alternate Attax comprises of mainly German players who have been hovering around the lower tier 2 German scenario for quite some time. The Attax team is definitely outmatched in this matchup and if everything goes normally then Hellraisers should be able to win this quite easily.
The Prediction: 75℅-25℅ Hellraisers
The Bet : Medium on Hellraisers

The Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) announced Thursday that it will deploy its DUI enforcement team to stop and arrest alcohol and drug-impaired drivers between 7:00PM and 3:00AM this Saturday evening.
The team will target areas with high frequencies of DUI collisions and/or arrests—where those locations are, exactly, is anyone's guess. Their location will be revealed during the designated enforcement hours.
This weekend's enforcement measure is part of the department's ongoing traffic safety campaign. According to the LBPD, the department has investigated 1,032 DUI collisions over the past three years, which resulted in the loss of seven lives and over 370 injuries.
The checkpoint will operate by having officers look for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment while they also check for proper licensing, delaying motorists for a brief period of time. Officer with special training will also evaluate those suspected of drug-impaired driving, which accounts for a growing number of crashes, according to the LBPD.
According to the LBPD, recent statistics show that 30 percent of drivers in fatal crashes had one or more drugs in their system, and a study of the drivers showed that more tested positive for drugs that may impair driving (14 percent) compared to alcohol. Marijuana was reportedly the most prevalent drug, with 7.4 percent under the influence of the drug.
In a release, the LBPD recommended people remember that drunk driving is preventable, with proper planning, and encouraged the use the California Office of Traffic Safety Designated Driver VIP (DDVIP) mobile app, which is now available for mobile download. Through the app, which launched last year, users will be able to locate establishments that offer incentives for participating in the app, which helps users order a sober ride from Uber, Lyft or Curb, all on one screen.
Funding for this DUI operation is provided to the Long Beach Police Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reminding everyone to 'Report Drunk Driver – Call 9-1-1.'

31st July 2016
Now that I have made it to the end of my time as a Development Officer with ScoutsCymru, I would like to reflect on the amazing work we have done during this 18-month project. We have registered 21 sections with Youth United Foundation across the South Wales Police Area, which is 11 Beaver Colonies, 6 Cub Packs, 2 Scout Troops & 2 Explorer Units. Of these, we were able to open 5 new Scouts groups, a brand new Explorer unit and revitalise 10 sections that were on very low numbers.
As well as recruitment, the Youth United Foundation's grant money through the UYSAF fund has brought over £40,000 of funding directly to these sections that has been invested in brand new equipment and amazing experiences for their young people.
The project was aimed at bringing Scouting to the some of the most deprived and hard to reach areas of South Wales, enabling young people who previously had limited or no access to Scouting to join the adventure. What has amazed me most is the response to Scouting in these communities, not only by the young people but by the adults and family members who have supported these projects through parent rota's, helping with odd jobs and of course, joining as volunteers.
To these adults who have decided to join our movement and give their time and energy to providing the amazing opportunities and positive experiences Scouting brings to young people, I say "thank you". Being an adult volunteer is not easy, but I believe it is one of the most rewarding endeavours you can embark upon. I hope your volunteer journey is as rewarding as mine has been.
Scouting needs more of these passionate, caring and dedicated individuals to join the movement, so a large part of the UYSAF money has been spent on new ways of recruiting adult volunteers for all roles, as well as investing in the training resources needed to retain them.
I would also like to thank the managers at Group, District & Area levels who have supported my work with this project. Your guidance, knowledge and hard work has been invaluable and I hope that the legacy of the UYSAF project goes on for years to come, in the form of continued growth and new sections within your districts.
Scouting is an amazing movement which I have belonged too for almost my entire life. As a child it brought me fun, friendship and excitement, adventure, achievement and self-worth. Becoming a leader at the age of 21 gave me a new self-confidence, with skills and opportunities I never thought I would receive. It has been an honour and a privilege to work for the ScoutsCymru Development Service, giving others the opportunity to experience this great movement that has given me so much.
To quote Lord Robert Baden-Powell, "The most worth-while thing is to try to put happiness into the lives of others". This is the power of our movement and I know that it will continue to bring out the best in our young people & adults by providing the fun, challenges & adventure that is Scouting.

A couple of people recommended Megan Hart, and Mandi suggested I start with Stranger. This book was an emotional roller coaster; I liked it.
The story opens with Grace, a funeral director, walking into a hotel bar to pick up a "stranger". She'd arranged through a service for someone to meet her and have sex, but she'd not met them before. Sam walks up and they banter back and forth and go upstairs to "conduct business". The next day when she checks her voice mail she realizes Sam was not the professional and she really did have sex with a stranger. Even so, she can't get him out of her mind.
She goes on with her day to day life, and a few days/weeks later a Jewish family wants to bury their father, so someone must sit with him all night. Grace lives on the third floor of the funeral home, and while she's watching a scary movie, forgets that someone is downstairs with the deceased. She hears noise, and goes down to investigate. To her utter surprise, it's Sam, sitting with his dead father. Thus begins an interesting relationship. Grace is attracted to Sam but she doesn't want a relationship - that's why she hires men to fulfill her needs. Sam is attracted to Grace and is persistent in trying to date her. His actions are almost like that of a boxer - getting in close to get her attention, then backing off so she loses some of her reluctance and thinks about dating him.
While this is going on, she does end up rescheduling with the professional, Jack. Jack is new at this job and Grace ends up giving him tips when they meet for appointments. Her times with Jack throughout the book are interesting - she likes to roleplay and it's different every time. I think she really does like Jack. It was interesting to watch Jack grow into himself and gain confidence with himself and his work. I really liked Jack's character. Her relationship with Sam as opposed to her "relationship" with Jack was eye-opening; you really got a good look into Grace's mindset - how she used these "rentboys" not only to de-stress but to hold up her protective emotional wall.
Ms. Hart really rounds out all her secondary characters well. As the mother of small children, I identified Grace's sister quite a bit; Grace's relationship with her father was difficult - he was retired but wanted to be involved with the business. One of the most surreal spots in the book was what happened after her father took her computer to check the funeral home's books and got more than he expected. Even Grace's employees' characters grew and changed as the story moved along.
It was intersting to read the different people who came into the funeral home. Their reactions to death were varied and Grace handled them all like a pro. There was one scene that had me almost in tears it was so moving. I wanted to hug Grace and tell her it would be okay. Even with that I really liked this book. The ending was sweet but not saccharine and you had to put your trustin Ms. Hart's writing that she would bring you to a satisfying ending, which she did. I absolutely recommend this book.

This was our first time using VRBO to find a vacation rental. We were very pleased with our choice! The pictures accurately showed the condo and the owner was very quick to respond to my messages. Upon arriving after office hours, we were able to easily get our information from the lockbox and get into our condo. The condo was wonderful - amazing views right on the beach and very clean! We were pleased to also find a supply of beach toys for our kids - very helpful since we flew to Alabama. The condo's location was steps away from the beach and an easy walk to area restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay at Seawind 1508 again and would recommend it to others.

My family and I had the pleasure of staying Seawind for Fall Break of my daughter's senior year of high school. We had friends that were staying at the Seawind so we decided that we would give it a try. The location was great and we were able to walk to some local places to eat. We also enjoyed a walk to the fishing pier where we saw sting rays, jelly fish, and an octopus. We didn't cook while we were there but the kitchen was well stocked. We didn't bring any beach toys because we had teenagers but they loved having shovels available to bury each other in the sand! We loved the furniture on the balcony and enjoyed watching the dolphins with our morning coffee. There were a couple minor issues with the condo and building but we would stay there again!

The condo was not completely clean when we arrived. There was cereal in the living floor, dirty dishes in the cabinets and drawers and the refrigerator had been left open or turned off and water covered the kitchen floor where the ice had melted and run out in the floor. There is no reliable "security" or after hours phone # with the rental agency - you just get cut off when you select that choice. When there was a ruckus below us at 3:30 in the morning, I ended up calling the police. This cleaning/management company needs new consideration for this rental.

We had a lovely time at Seawind #1508. We had a spectacular view of the beach from our balconey on the 15th floor. We were just steps away from Sea and Suds where we dined frequently since we did not want to cook this trip but our kitchen was well equipped if we had wanted to. We had our three grandchildren with us and they were entertained the entire time. Our condo was great and we were very comfortable and I would book this same unit again.

It was perfect! Not one complaint. Had everything we needed and was clean, comfy and be beachy! My only advice is don't wait until 10 on the dot to check out bc the elevators will be jam packed with others trying to leave!

All in all we enjoyed our month in Seawind. Although the sofa was a bit "tired".the condo was nicely furnished and quite well equipped. The condo was not as clean as I would like it to have been. It was apparent the baseboards and under the bed had not been cleaned for quite some time, so I mopped/dusted these areas myself. We were there during spring break time and encountered problems with "drunk" students playing games with the elevators and making loud noises late night. However, Security finally addressed these issues after tenant's complaints.
On windy days, the entry door made annoying loud whistling noises which I reported to the office and was told a work order would be put in. However, it was not taken care of during our stay.
The view was amazing and we enjoyed our time on the balcony with the colorful outdoor furniture!!

We had a great time in Gulf Shores for five weeks from Jan 26 to Feb 29. The unit was clean, well equipped, and the view was exceptional (according to my wife). We are thinking very seriously of returning next year. There were a couple of issues in the unit which were quickly addressed.

Hi guys! Here's an update of my technical analysis on DTE Energy Company that I posted last August 9 (kindly click here if you wish to see it). Back then, I mentioned that there is a triangle formation setting up and could be bound for a breakout. However, it hasn't yet broken out or made a major move but instead maintained consolidating inside the triangle pattern. By the way, I've adjusted some support lines that's why there are slight changes in the chart as you have noticed. Anyway, if the stocks break above the triangle's resistance, it could head all the way up but could encounter some selling pressure at the $51.15 price mark. If $51.15 gets cleared out, the next resistance could be $54.74. The possibility of the price breaking down from the triangle's support is slimmer compared to the price breaking above the triangle's resistance but in case it does, the 17-month uptrend could be a strong support. If it breaks down from the uptrend, $46.67 could be the next support then $45.17.

Students at a city school enjoyed a taste of Germany with a festive feast.
The youngsters at Sunderland High School were treated to a special German-themed lunch, with a festive feel.
The event, which involved pupils from Years 6 to 13, saw the school's dining hall being decked out as a Christmas market, with festive music in the background.
As an alternative to the normal school lunch, the catering team put together the German-themed food, with the help of a guest chef.
On the menu was a wide range of tasty treats.
They included goulash, roast bacon, sauerkraut, pickles, dill, Frankfurt sauce, celeriac with mustard seeds, gingerbread and Christmas-themed pastries for dessert.
There was a fantastic atmosphere in the dining hall.Angela Slater
Year 6 pupils walked across from the junior school site, in Ashbrooke Road, to the senior school buildings, in Mowbray Road, a little bit early so they could enjoy a German masterclass prior to lunch. The children watched a short presentation on the history of the German Christmas market, tasted a variety of German food items like Bratwurst and Lebkuchen, and then decorated German gingerbread hearts.
Dr Angela Slater, headteacher at Sunderland High School, said: "There was a fantastic atmosphere in the dining hall.
"After a hearty meal of ham, sauerkraut and other dishes, the pupils were greeted by a huge cart filled with freshly-baked gingerbread and festive cakes.
"We were delighted to welcome pupils from our junior school who really enjoyed their meal, as well as being fascinated by the German Christmas market theme."

The gift shopping has started and a few of us are starting to get sick as we begin our seventh week here in Sarajevo. Trying to find the right gifts to bring home to friends and family has proved to be a common topic of conversation. "What should I get for my dad?" is a common one. "Here I can show you a shop where I got those bracelets for only five marks!" is another. During these six weeks in Sarajevo, I've been exposed to a couple things that, I'm hypothesizing now, will always remind me of my time here in the Western Balkans.
1. Doners. I was first exposed to these tasty little sandwiches here in Sarajevo
2. Street Dogs. They are very popular here in this capital city. You'll sometimes see packs of them roaming the less populated areas.
3. Mosques. It happened without me noticing it, but I got used to walking past mosques instead of churches.
4. The Adhan (the Muslim call to prayer). Walking through the streets of Sarajevo, we have gotten used to hearing the Adhan come from the minarets around the city five times a day.
5. Cheap Movies. Late night, weekend movies only cost 5 or 6 KM, which is about $3.50.
6. One Scoop Ice Cream. We've gotten into the (not very healthy) habit of frequently stopping to grab a scoop of ice cream from one of the (what seems like hundreds of) little ice cream stands that litter the streets of Sarajevo.
7. Genocide. Though I was fairly well educated on the idea of genocide before my time here, I have gained an understanding of how it can affect people personally that I don't think I could have gained without being here in the flesh. It is here that I have been exposed to and shown the physically and psychological effects of such a horrible event.
8. United Nations. Closely related to my experience with genocide, comes my new understanding of the UN. Until recently I was under the naive impression that the UN constantly protected those who it promised to protect. That opinion has changed drastically after our visit to the UN Dutch Base in Potocari.
9. Rakija. A plum brandy that I had never heard of before my time here. Comes in many different flavors, and is usually so terrible that it really doesn't even matter the flavor.
10. A Fear of Cold and Wind. It seems that many native bosnians (mostly older women, I would say) have a fear of sitting on cold surfaces or leaving certain windows open that might create a gust in the room. Many taxi drivers will also only allow one window to be open at a time. The woman who runs our hostel doesn't like to see any other women or girls sitting on 'cold' surfaces (like the stone stairwell) because she believes it will freeze their ovaries.

--> Jury finds spying in Rutgers dorm was a hate crime: Dharun Ravi, a former Rutgers University student, was convicted on Friday on all 15 charges he had faced for using a webcam to spy on his roommate, Tyler Clementi, having sex with another man, a verdict poised to broaden the definition of hate crimes in an era when laws have not kept up with evolving technology. More at the NYT.
--> Army officials revealed name of suspected gunman who killed 16 Afghan civilians: Army officials gave a name and face Friday to the soldier alleged to have killed 16 Afghans on Sunday. Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, a 38-year-old Ohio native with a wife and two children, was known around town as a family man, neighbors near his Lake Tapps, Wash., home have said. Their words paint a picture of a kind father who was reticent to talk about the three tours of duty, totaling 37 months of combat-zone experience, he served in Iraq before being deployed again to Afghanistan. More at the Daily Beast.

Clooney was arrested outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington during a protest against attacks by the country's government on its southern regions and blocking of humanitarian aid. Clooney, 50, was taken into custody last Friday and charged with crossing a police line, a misdemeanor, according to George Ogilvie, a Secret Service spokesman. He was taken to a Metropolitan Police Department station for processing, Ogilvie said. More at the WaPo.
--> And finally, the Obama documentary: The Obama campaign released a full 17-minute Tom Hanks-narrated documentary entitled The Road We've Traveled. It highlights the major calls he has had to make since becoming president. It's directed by Davis Guggenheim and features President Bill Clinton, Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Elizabeth Warren, David Axelrod, and Austan Goolsbee. It cost at least $345,000 to produce. Watch above.

Editor, Index-Tribune:
In all the back and forth on Sonoma's taking (or not taking) action on leaf blowers, something that no one has mentioned in the "rake or blow" arguments is this one fact: A leaf blower dosen't do away with leaves and grass. It blows them onto someone else's property, or into the public streets. They become someone else's problem.
Very un-neighborly and certainly quite dirty.
This debris should really be dealt with the old-fashioned, proper way – gathered and composted or otherwise disposed of. Not just pushed to your neighbor or into the street.
If we were considering "leaf suckers" (i.e., vacuums), then this would be a somewhat different matter even at the same decibel level. At least some good would be realized.
Come on, there's a better way, Sonoma. Let's be adults, let's be neighborly and let's all take responsibility for our own waste. Collect it and deal with it.
The relief from the relentless noise distraction will be an added benefit!
