Michael Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone (pronounced /stəˈloʊn/; born July 6, 1946), commonly known as Sylvester Stallone, and nicknamed Sly Stallone, is an American actor, filmmaker, screenwriter, film director and occasional painter. Stallone is known for his machismo and Hollywood action roles. Two of the notable characters he has portrayed include boxer Rocky Balboa and soldier John Rambo. The Rocky and Rambo franchises, along with several other films, strengthened his reputation as an actor and his box office earnings.
Stallone's film Rocky was inducted into the National Film Registry as well as having its film props placed in the Smithsonian Museum. Stallone's use of the front entrance to the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the Rocky series led the area to be nicknamed the Rocky Steps. Philadelphia has a statue of his Rocky character placed permanently near the museum, on the right side before the steps. It was announced on December 7, 2010 that Stallone was voted into boxing's Hall of Fame.
Sylvester Stallone was born Michael Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone in New York City, the elder son of Frank Stallone, Sr., a hairdresser, and Jackie Stallone (born Jacqueline Labofish), an astrologer, former dancer, and promoter of women's wrestling. His younger brother is actor and musician Frank Stallone. Stallone's father was born in Gioia del Colle, Apulia, Italy, and emigrated to the United States as a child. Stallone's mother is of half Russian Jewish and half French descent.

If I may, a Pledge created by Billie a few short years ago featuring Old Glory and one of our grandsons...
Wellllllllllllllllll, my mouth is more or less in the same place.
Lots of bruising showing up on the outside now—partially hidden by white beard—appear to be places where he had to grab my jaw quite roughly and intensely. Was still bleeding yesterday morning after we'd though it had stopped. Now appears to be stopped or close to it.
Still sleeping lots with the meds. Still feel ran over by a train. Should be able to teach Tues. Need to try and get admin stuff done Monday for that Tuesday teaching effort.
Long live Vita-Mix and its capacity to puree all kinds of things.
Thanks tons for all the prayers and caring.
Last January, ESPN television ran a compelling feature about Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, who had just been named the NFLs Most Valuable Player. But the feature was not about football. Instead, it explained that for several years, when certain competitors Manning admired were retiring from the NFL, he took time to handwrite a note to them, congratulating them on their careers and their character.
Each recipient who was interviewed expressed deep appreciation that one of the greatest players of all time would do that. It was a great reminder of the power of the written word.
While a written note from a respected athlete such as Peyton Manning has much value, no humans words can compare with the written Word we have from God in Scripture. Paul wrote, Whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope (Rom. 15:4). In the life-changing wisdom of the Bible, we have a personal message that tells us what God desires for us to be and what He desires to be for us. He has given us His written Word so we might have hope as we face the issues of life. Out of gratitude, lets read Gods written messageand watch it change our lives.
Bible in One Year: Exodus 27-28; Matthew 21:1-22
Wow! I wanna be there, floating down the river on raft. It's sunny, about 85, but it's nice and cool on the creek. Birds are singing along with the water....
Oh, wait. It's 25 and the creek is frozen...and so am I! LOL
Golly! Don't know what happened to you, but pray that you
recover from it quickly!
Thank you for the update! So glad that your healing is progressing and prayers continue for a full recovery!
As I was working on files over the weekend, I ran across this. I'm sharing it again because I think you will enjoy it.
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Store with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door. She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment.
Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise.
She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster.
No good.
Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it!
"And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. "I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages," he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
"Well, I want to talk to you about my brother," Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. "He's really, really sick ... and I want to buy a miracle.
"I beg your pardon?" said the pharmacist.
"His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?
"We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you," the pharmacist said, softening a little.
"Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs."
The pharmacist's brother was a well dressed man. He Stooped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?"
"I don't know," Tess replied with her eyes welling up. "I just know he's really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money".
"How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago.
"One dollar and eleven cents," Tess answered barely audibly. "And it's all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to.
"Well, what a coincidence," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents-the exact price of a miracle for little brothers."
He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her mitten and said, "Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents.
Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need."
That well dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in neuro-surgery. The operation was completed without charge and it wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well. Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place. "That surgery," her Mom whispered. "was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?"
Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost. one dollar and eleven cents ...... plus the faith of a little child.
A miracle is not the suspension of natural law, but the operation of a higher law...... (A TRUE STORY)

All bottom teeth pulled Friday morning—12 that were left.
Tons of sawing—literally—slicing and suturing.
System seems to have taken a real jolt from it. Bleeding seems not stopped. Then stopped. Then not stopped. Wheee. Denture flopping around as a small thing in a big bucket. Interesting bruise marks through white beard.
An interesting experience.
One I'd have been happy to trade out of.
Thanks for your kind reply, prayers and wishes.
Lots of wonderful folks born in Feb. Tee hee.
12:00 APT with regular Dentist today. Wheee.
I finally got around to going fishing this morning but after a while I ran out of worms.
Then I saw a cottonmouth with a frog in his mouth, and frogs are good bass bait.. Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth; I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog and put it in my bait bucket.
Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit. I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth. His eyes rolled back and he went limp. I released him into the lake without incident and carried on my fishing with the frog.
A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. There was that same damn snake with two frogs in his mouth

McMurdo (Antarctica), 6 December — We have been getting a lot of questions about the wildlife that we have seen in Antarctica. Here are some pictures that Ludo snapped of the Weddell seals we saw in McMurdo. We have seen lots of seals lounging on the sea ice, and also skuas, which look like large seagulls. We have not seen any penguins yet.

Hello stoptheban.ca! It's time to show your PUPPY LOVE.
This Valentine's Day, please ask ten of your friends to visit stoptheban.ca and register their opposition to Ontario's Pitbull ban. Together, we've done a good job so far of getting people to the site with very little advertising but we're planning to really turn it on for 2006.
VISIT stoptheban.ca FOR VALENTINE'S DAY is our first campaign for 2006 and marks the anniversary of last year's Puppy Love Protest Walk. Many stoptheban.ca campaigns will hit the street over the coming months and the short-term goal is to raise our opposition numbers at stoptheban.ca so we can demonstrate support for the upcoming legal challenge financed by Banned Aid and fought by acclaimed Civil Rights Lawyer, Clayton Ruby. The first court date is set for May 16th, 2006 and stoptheban.ca is planning a number of events leading up to that date that will make our OPPOSITION to Ontario's pitbull ban LOUD and CLEAR.
WE NEED YOUR HELP. PLEASE ASK 10 FRIENDS TO VISIT stoptheban.ca FOR VALENTINE'S DAY.
And, watch for changes to stoptheban.ca coming very soon. We've reorganized at our end to give us more time to FIGHT THE BAN and to represent you and pitbull owners across Ontario. Short-term plans include recruiting point-people across the province for local campaigns, new site content including downloads, and links and information about the pitbull community and about upcoming PR campaigns that you can help us out with. Long term plans include putting our numbers behind Clayton Ruby's efforts and ultimately presenting ourselves to the opposition government with a view to making sure removing the pitbull ban is an election issue in the next provincial election. We won't stop fighting until the ban is gone.
So, show the Ontario government that Puppy and Pitty Love is alive and well.
Ask your friends and family to VISIT stoptheban.ca FOR VALENTINE'S DAY.
See you soon and THANKS for helping us spread the word. Please feel free to cross post to pitbull-friendly lists.

NEW DELHI, India, Jan. 15, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entropic (Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions for the connected home, today announced its set-top box (STB) system-on-a-chip (SoC) technology, the CX2448x, has been deployed by India's leading cable multi-system operator (MSO), InCablenet. By deploying Entropic's STB SoC, InCablenet can enable advanced digital broadcast and broadband services to the 8.5 million cable-connected TV homes they serve across India.
Fulfilling the Digitization Roadmap with Entropic
Termed 'analog sunset,' India's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B) publicly announced the complete switchover from analog to digitized signals must occur countrywide by December 2014. Additionally, the mandate states that each TV set in the home, rather than each home itself, must now have a digital STB.
InCablenet turned to Entropic's CX2448x as an affordable STB SoC solution to meet these digitization mandates. By deploying Entropic-based Novabase STBs, InCablenet gains access to a state-of-the-art solution with advanced features such as DVR capability that will give them a competitive edge throughout the digitization transition.
"India's cable TV market is poised for a broad network upgrade to provide compelling, interactive and affordable digital services to more than 130 million subscribers," said Mr. Ravi Mansukhani, managing director, IMCL (IndusInd Media & Communications Ltd.), which owns InCablenet. "This opportunity has led us to strategic partners like Entropic, who have a reputable local presence with Standard-Definition SoCs, can minimize new product time-to-market with pre-established Conditional Access relationships, and can help us increase revenue by enabling value-added digitization services."
"Given the 'analog sunset' timeframe and the number of potential set-top boxes to be deployed, we worked closely with Entropic to customize a silicon solution for InCablenet's client devices," said Michael Pauli, managing director of Novabase Digital TV. "Our set-top boxes leverage Entropic's advanced silicon and software, which allowed us to focus on delivering a product-to-market quickly while ensuring flexibility, functionality, and cost optimization all remained high priorities."
STB Features Reduce Overall Time-to-Market, Costs and Customer Churn
The CX2448x offers high levels of performance in a format that saves space, reduces the external component count, cuts design time, and lowers overall cost – all of which were extremely appealing to InCablenet, given the wide-scale deployment required to meet the I&B's initiative.
Mr. Mansukhani stated, "Entropic proved to be the ideal STB SoC technology partner for us, as the Company offers a proven solution with international deployments by Tier-1 MSOs. They also understood our need to stay ahead of the competition, by enabling new consumer services to minimize subscriber churn."
The Entropic SoC had several security features including advanced Conditional Access (CA) integration with Nagra for unprecedented levels of protection against piracy; an advanced one-time-programmable (OTP) memory technology to personalize individual STBs with unique serial numbers and encryption keys; and uses embedded cryptographic technology for secure authentication of any STB system software loaded into the Flash memory.
"With India's cable TV market undergoing a massive digital transformation, we are working with InCablenet to seamlessly migrate their subscribers from analog to digital cable," said Mark Samuel, senior vice president and general manager, Set-top Box Group, Entropic. "We understand the market in India, and coupled with our field-proven, cost-optimized set-top box system-on-a-chip solution we are confident we can rapidly assist InCablenet in their wide-scale network upgrade to satisfy the growing needs of its subscriber base."
About Entropic's CX2448x Family
Built around a 32-bit ARM®926 CPU, running at up to 300 MHz and capable of delivering 330 MIPS, Entropic's Cx2448x includes a QAM demodulator, a programmable transport stream processor, an MPEG-2 audio/video decoder, and an advanced graphics hardware accelerator, among other features.

Lynn grabs early lead at the Masters
Augusta, GA – David Lynn posted a 4-under 68 Thursday to grab the early lead at the 77th Masters.
Lynn, who hails from England, is making his first appearance at Augusta National. He walked off with a 1-stroke lead, but has been caught atop the leaderboard by Australian Marc Leishman.
Former U.S. Open champion Jim Furyk is one of four players tied for third place at minus-3. Furyk was joined there by Justin Rose, K.J. Choi and Lee Westwood, who overcame a double-bogey on the opening hole. All four players are still on the course.
Kevin Na and former PGA Champion David Toms posted 2-under 70s. They stand alongside Tim Clark, Brandt Snedeker, Rickie Fowler, Ben Curtis and four-time winner Tiger Woods, who is through 10 holes.
Lynn got into the field thanks to his runner-up finish at last year's PGA Championship. He opened the Masters with a birdie on the first. Lynn collected back-to-back birdies at eight and nine to make the turn at minus-3.
The 39-year-old Englishman stumbled to a bogey on the 10th, but came right back with birdies at 11 and 12. Lynn moved to 5-under with a birdie on the par-5 15th.
Lynn was two clear of the field at that point, but faltered to a bogey on the 17th to slip to minus-4. He parred the last to end there.
He hopes to join a short, but impressive list. Only three players -- Fuzzy Zoeller (1979), Gene Sarazen (1935) and Horton Smith (1934) -- have won the Masters in their first appearance.
Ryan Moore and John Peterson posted 1-under 71s, while Russell Henley and Brian Gay both carded 72s.
Defending champion Bubba Watson is 2-over through 11 holes. He has three bogeys and a birdie so far in his round.

A great way to fill up your spare time is with some new activities. Instead of turning to video games and television for your spare time, you need to consider getting into some other hobbies that will really assist in enriching your life. No matter what type of hobbies you choose to pick up, you need to be able to find hobbies that are designed to help you feel better about yourself. Sometimes it just takes a little creativity and pushing yourself to find a new hobby or to take that critical step forward in doing something you have always wanted to try out. Here are some ideas to help you come up with your own hobbies.
Join a book club
One of the best ways to explore your creative mind is by joining a book club. You need to be able to look for books that are interesting to you and will really challenge your mind and cause you to "move" into a different world. As you use a book club to help you move along with the reading programs you will also be able to make new friends and will likely get in touch with people that have a lot of similar interests to you. A book club will allow you to really stretch your brain power as well so you aren't always sitting around and doing the same old thing over and over.
Pick up a new sport
If you aren't a fan of basketball, why not try out for a different type of sport? How about swimming? This is a sport that most people enjoy recreationally and it also gives you a chance to find a way to stay in shape without needing to spend hours on a treadmill! You can try out for a swim team if your school has one and you really think this might be something you would enjoy. Another good sport for girls is track. There are many other girls on the track team that you can easily become friends with and you will be able to create great relationships with them.
Learn to cook
One of the most rewarding things is to take a bunch of random things and create something from them. Cooking is actually a lot of fun and you can easily see how exciting it can be for you to create your own recipes and to share them with your loved ones. Consider cooking meals for your family! This is a great way to give your parents a break but it is also a great way to continue expanding on your new hobby.
Play music
Many teen girls love to listen to music and often walk around with their iPod permanently attached to their ears! If you love music, try taking some music lessons. You may surprise yourself to learn that you have a natural talent and gift for the piano or singing. Learning to play an instrument is a lot of fun and it is a great way to test yourself and to learn a new hobby that a lot of people deem impossible.
Learn a different language
With a world that is really starting to intermingle a lot, learning other languages is a great idea. There are some classes you can take in school to help you learn a new language. Study hard as this is a very difficult and challenging thing to do but learning a new language can be incredibly rewarding as well. Spanish and French are two of the most common languages that people learn and they can be a great way to help you market yourself in the future when you apply for colleges!

2012 Tour Stop #13- Up in Smoke BBQ BashJuly 27, 2012
Up In Smoke BBQ Bash
Before we headed North to Mason City, we made a retail stop in Des Moines, Iowa at the local Sam's Club® where people were excited to hear about the upcoming Sam's Club® BBQ Tour that stopped a few days after us. On the way to Mason City, we had another low power issue with the truck and called the Up in Smoke organizer, Ruth, who found us a fantastic mechanic to diagnose the problem when we got to town. A tank full of bad fuel was the culprit, nothing some good fuel and some frazzled nerves couldn't fix.
Christine and I kept hearing what a great event the Up in Smoke BBQ Bash is and what a good fit it would be for the Great American BBQ Tour…folks weren't kidding! Ruth and the entire event staff worked tirelessly throughout the entire weekend. Ruth and her nieces even baked brownies and maple bacon cupcakes for all of the teams!
The event was held in East Park which is a nice wooded park along a stream. We set up in one of the more open areas of the park, which placed us right inside the main gate. Everybody had to walk by us and most everyone stopped for the free samples we offered through the weekend.
Up in Smoke BBQ Bash is sponsored by the local newspaper so there were daily write-ups and free newspapers delivered to each team. On Friday evening, we had a reporter sitting in the front row of our demonstration (which was also one of the largest crowds of the year for us!). I swear the reporter had a tape recorder because in the next morning's paper, I was quoted as saying, "It must be a slow night in Northern Iowa for all you folks to come to my demo"… I must have been in the moment because I sure don't remember saying that.
We always have friends cooking at the events we go to, but this event was a bit better as we had family cooking as well. My cousin Leeann and her husband Stewart are on team, FrankenQue, and this was actually their first ever competition. Christine and I stopped in Friday night to make sure they had a good grasp on expectations for the next day and other than a bit of tweaking with their parsley boxes, they had everything under control. At the end of the competition, team FrankenQue took home a third place win in the Anything But category and didn't finish dead last overall either. Not bad for a first time competing!
The Wicked Pig won the Chicken category; first time cooks Beach Bums BBQ won Ribs; TrueBud BBQ won Pork and A Boy & His BBQ won Brisket along with taking Reserve Grand Champion. Even though Iowa's Smokey D's only had one top 10 call, they ended on top as Grand Champion. Nothing like a one-two punch from the Iowa teams to take some hardware back to Des Moines and put up in their restaurant!
On Sunday, Christine and I packed up and headed towards Rockford, Ill. for our next Sam's Club® retail stop. We grabbed lunch at a Hardee's along the way and as we came out, we were stopped by a family with the cutest little girl who asked for our autographs and wanted to know if we knew any of the Pitmasters from TV. We told her that we did and then asked who her favorite was. Of course it was Big Moe! She giggled with excitement when Christine told her that Big Moe was a friend of ours and we even cooked a recent contest against him. You just never know when you will run into BBQ fans out on the road!

So i got in the shippy mode, and woke up this beauty..
I see people trying to avoide any romantic emotions to the Ichigo and Rukia goodbye. People may think whatever they want but..volume poem 49:

I like a lot of ships but I only LOVE & ship two of them in Bleach. IchiRuki and UlquiHime are the only two ships I give a damn about.
I like KenseixMashiro but I think KenseixHisagi are much hotter together
I like HisagiX Matsu and if I didn't think Lisa was a lesbian, I'd ship her with Shunsui.
I think Renji an Tatsuki is the greatest crackship ever
I like Urahara and Yoruichi but I think Byakuya and Yoruichi are much hotter
I think NoiNel are hot despite me thinking that the truly hated one another.
The databook says that Renji is in love with Rukia and no one said you can't have a best friend. Yet Kubo has implicitly stated that their relationship goes beyond that. I don't understand why it's farfetched for Ichigo and Rukia to develop a romantic feelings for each other beyond friendship but some expect that Ichigo and Orihime will do the same. I don't understand that logic. While Orihime is the only one who confessed I doubt anyone didn't know she was in love with Ichigo before she said so. Rukia has done every single thing that Orihime has done, that makes her feelings clear, barring the confession to a coma victim. So her feelings are just as clear as Orihime's imo. Kubo has never ever said that Ichigo returns Orihime's feelings, he doesn't even show Ichigo caring about her in the same way he cares about Rukia. How one could expect for Ichigo to fall in love with Orihime and not Rukia is baffling.
Spoiler for Manga-answer:
Once you become an adult, age is just a number. If they're both adults then what is the problem?
SS inhabitants seem to age at a different rate, then Humans from the living world. Rukia may have lived 3 of Ichigo's lifetimes but she's still basically a teenager. Time flows differently in the two worlds and it's not like she's an old crone.
Normal Teenager: Oh man Ichigo what are you wearing to the prom?
Ichigo: I dunno I hadn't thought about it. Since I was too busy saving Krakura and my friends from Aizen, because he was going to kill everyone. lately I have been freaking out because I'm powerless and someone just attacked Ishida and I can't do shit to help him. On top of that, some dude is stalking me and keeps trying to give me his noodles and asking about my dad . whom, I only recently discovered was a Shinigami and has super powers. Right now the prom is the least of my worries.
Normal Teenager ".... ..... .... ... " Okay....
Spoiler for Manga:
Did you watch Inuyasha? Inuyasha was born 700 years before Kagame, and while she did go back 500 years in time. Inuyasha had still been sealed for 50 years,was already over 100 before he was sealed. So either way he was old enough to be her grandfather. Lot's of anime and manga are like that, it's really not that big of deal and this is a common trope, in anime and manga
Mahou Sensei Negima
Cowboy Bebop
Saint Seiya
Magic Knight Rayearth
and many more...
It's not that big of a deal in the Anime and Mangaverse.

Ichigo isn't a dandere
Ichigo's relationship (if you could call it that) with Orihime is not dandere
I have had best friends of the opposite sex. Plenty since I prefer to hang around with guys, but they all lost in the face of the guy I loved. There was one that I actually became involved with too.
There are plenty of marriages and long lasting relationships that started between best friends. Are you just saying that, because you need to believe that? It's ludicrous to think that their friendship cannot develop into something deeper than that.
This is a common trope in anime and manga. If Ichigo dies when he's older and goes to SS, will her age be a problem then? In 100 years or so it won't matter will it. Not to mention she's got working ovaries and can still reproduce, so age really isn't a factor

Are you seriously trying to spark a debate with points I brought up all the way back in May LoP? Well feel free to simply chalk this up to yet one more thing on the neverending list of issues we don't agree on. Because I'm definitely not discussing this one any further. lol

She may just become a supporting ( No Pun. ) character instead. She is human after all, I doubt she'll be leaving Karakura Town.

The most qualifying characteristics of a dead characters in Bleach
1) bad guy
2) not human
Gin partially broke the first one, he's quite grey. Funny how they never let us see him dissolve like others though (Ulq and Barragan).

Anyway, although Ulquihime is my OTP, I wouldn't mind if Ishida and Orihime got together either. They look cute together, and he is such a gentleman^^

I don't think I can believe anything a single mangaka says anymore honestly. Even Kishi's said this and that and done nothing to his word. The only evidence can be on the manga itself, IMO. As much as I like Grimm, him and anyone else forgotten (Nel) I have to presume non-extant in the series, even if they're 'alive.' But on that note, he's wise to not confirm that status of some characters, if only to troll fans further.

Return from Glacier National Park
I've been struggling to concisely write about the experience the Climate Recon Team had in Glacier National Park in early August. What do you say about eight great days in one of our country's most beautiful areas that doesn't sound cliché or trite? We were group of seven veterans enjoying and exploring the land they defended. We saw grizzly bears, black bears, marmots and the remnants of once massive glaciers that give Glacier National Park its name.
We climbed with Conrad Anker, recently named the #7 athlete in the world by Esquire. We learned about climate change from award-winning photographer Jim Balog. We all pushed ourselves farther and harder than we thought possible in one way or another. Everyone made a personal summit. Many stood atop Blackfoot Mountain and surveyed the world around them. We could see the Great Plains to the east and ranges waiting to be explored for nearly a hundred miles around in the other three cardinal directions.
In the moment, in the day to day of the expedition, the majesty of the place became almost normal. As if this is the way we were supposed to live, amongst such beauty and natural grace. Things did not always go well. These challenges however, are part of the joy in the journey. One team member got sick but battled through. Slopes were steep and rocks were loose. A few arms got scratched and knees got knocked. It rained. We ran out of Nutella two days too early. Self-arrests on ice and snow slopes were taught -- and then executed flawlessly 18 inches above a yawning crevasse. We all made it home. Success.
Conversations were made merry of combat and climb. We learned from the climbers and climatologists and they learned from us. Petty differences melted away far faster than the receding glaciers, while aching muscles seemed to hang around a bit longer. But no one cared, there was, as the saying goes, "Freedom in the hills!" And still, underlying the joy and liberty, the simple daily acts of bravery required in the mountains; there was something not quite right about the trip.
I kept looking around wondering if this would all last. Not the trip, I knew, as I always do that the trip had to come to an end. I was worried about the park itself and what its increasingly changing landscape meant to my future and the future of the nation I fought, still am fighting, for. There was a haze hanging low on the horizon most days from the fires in various forests surrounding the Park and the prairie I could see was parched with aching and dying crops.
The data clearly shows as well that the glaciers in the park are receding at rates beyond the normal variability of temperature increase and glacier melt. Will we be forced to change the park's name in years to come? We did not, however, come to save the glaciers; we came to see and discuss what the glaciers' size meant. And the hard truth is they are going away too fast, taking with them water storage for our country and a vital ecosystem that serves as an indicator for how the rest of our country is doing. The prognosis is not great.
That does not mean, however, that we cannot heal our country and that individually, we cannot collectively all make a difference. When the chips are down, our great nation has routinely responded with aplomb and determination to make things right again. In these eight days in one of the crown jewels of America's park system, seven of us who fought for this country saw pretty clearly that the chips are down. So what can we do about it?

Best Bar Stories Ever
In light of actually seeing C.E. with a green rep bar, I'd figure that I'd post my recent experience of embracing a miracle as well:
So, last week Tuesday, I was at a pub-ish establishment and the 25 year old really hot niece of the corporate CEO walks in with her mother out of the blue and joins me and a co-worker for a couple of drinks.
A couple turn into 20 or so, and her mother and my co-worker leave and shit gets a little weird.
Anywho, after a good conversation about three ways with a stripper and "I'd be happy to take to to a Performing Arts Center for your first time" shit, I meet her back there the next evening with me and the same co-worker of the night before and lo and behold within 45 minutes this veritable goddess is sitting at the table right next to us by herself with a low cut sweater and huge tracts of land bursting.
For at least 45 minutes I make my best attempt to ignore her visually...go to the restroom and as I'm coming out, the busty goddess is standing in the hall waiting for me. (Seriously. I shit you not.) With nothing else coming to mind, I ask her to join us, which she does, and five or six tequila shots later we are all having a great time.
And the 25 year old is really, really, really digging her and vice versa and, well, my co-worker leaves and, yeah...
So, I'm wondering, is this my lottery ticket for life? Shit couldn't have gone down any more perfect and, so...what now?
And I mean, super hot. I ask my co-worker the next day, on a 1 to 10 scale how hot...and he says 11 or a 11.5.
So what the **** do I have to look forward to at this point? I can't imagine shit better. I still can't even think/focus/care.
What the **** am I supposed to do now?
Anyone have shit like this happen and what do I do with my life from this point on? I mean, guys buy Ferraris and yachts in the hopes of this kind of shit happening.
I'm a bit of a mess with this right now in terms of going forward.
And then the W. (name withheld) green bar.
If the Chiefs draft Geno, I'm thinking we all ascend.

I actually got roofied last fall. No idea why but I was a couple beers in when I decided to check out a hole-in-the-wall bar near my house. It had only been open a month or so... So an employee and I stopped in there and had a couple more beers. This is 4 beers over 3 hours. There was a bartender and 2 very young girls in the bar. My employee went out for a smoke and I ducked into the bathroom. I always carry my beer with me but left it this night for some reason. Didn't give the girls or barkeep any reason to roofie me. In fact, I bought a round for everybody and we all joked for a while. On the drive home I started feeling blasted and could hardly walk/talk by the time I got in my house. Hurled in the toilet then passed out. The roofie story was tough to sell to the wife but it's not hard to convince her when I had receipts for the drinks and she knew we got off work very late.
Edit - employee didn't do it either. He got it too and was outside smoking for the entire time I was in the toilet.

The thing I've written that's been published. All true, the only thing that isn't true is the fact that I omitted the copious amount of cocaine that kept me up until six. Anyway it was a pretty funny evening, and not half as exciting as quite a few other bar occurrences, but for some reason this is the one that gets published, go figure...
Liquid Justice
I am sick. I stayed up until six a.m. this morning. I am awake at ten because my new neighbor is moving furniture. As I open my eyes, the sunlight that drowns the room blinds me. The hideous scrunching, scratching sound of furniture feet across hardwoods and tile fill my ears. It is, for all my efforts to deny it, my time to wake. My stomach is rotten. Sitting on the toilet before the shower, after the shower and every hour for the next four isn't my ideal way to work through a hangover.
The prescription for a cure? One, drink water all day. Secondly, eat what you can, prepackaged or leftover. Third, don't waste time and energy cooking. You won't like it once it's done anyway. Finally, smoke pot, play video games, and watch movies. These are the rules to be followed and the rules I usually abide by.
By eight thirty in the p.m. I'm healed. Not entirely, but I am well on my way to recovery. The decision had been made that I would stay in. Staying in means less damage to the bank account, the head, the stomach and the liver. I am going to feel good on Sunday. I am going to feel like I can conquer the world. God said, and I'm paraphrasing, "Let Sunday be a day of rest." Not for me, I'm going to be razor sharp. The phone rings. I cringe. I'm sure it's ever present request for an outing by those who had been occupied elsewhere the night before.
It's Scott, with the Moff assuredly in tow. "You going out?"
"Naw. I ****ing wrecked."
"Come on man, were heading back from the most awkward of awkward weddings and we need a drink."
He doesn't have to be much of a salesman. I'm sold already.
"Hugo's in twenty." He says.
"Make it thirty." I say.
I hang up the phone and wonder what I've done. Not only have I agreed to go out for a drink but I agree to have one at one of the swankiest joints in town. I am an idiot and I am not getting dressed up. A sock hat finds its way to covering my chaotic hair. Torn jeans adorn my lower body. My coat smells like stale cigarettes and beer. I am sure I look exactly like I feel and I don't give a shit.
On my walk I enjoy three quarters of a Pabst Blue Ribbon but throw it down when I near a street with a few too many lights. It's cold outside and I'm shivering because of the cold but funny enough, the beer tasted good. As soon as I toss the quarter of a can I wish I hadn't. I see two lone men dressed in long black coats smoking on what must be one of the most frigid patios in the nation.
"Gentlemen." I greet them.
"What's happening?" Says the Moff.
"Hey," replies Scott, "you look like a dog turd."
We walk inside and I begin to enjoy my four-dollar beer. We banter, discuss the wedding and check out the scene. I am under dressed and these two look like they should be on the cover of GQ. I still do not give a shit. What has caught our attention is the mountain of tail that's parading around inside this establishment. Breast exploding from blouse tops and long beautiful legs encased in knee high boots are everywhere. I especially cannot afford this scene. We all get one last eye full of all these lovely winter vixens and at my suggestion make our way out to the cold.
We stop at our usually dive. Zooloo's is warm and smells of stale smoke. None of us are drunk, so there are no women here worth talking to. The bartender's a nice girl but involved. Scott hates this place. It is a point of pride that he unabashedly bitches about this place at every opportunity. I try to supersede him.
"One beer and a shot. That's it." I say as Moff joins us with a gin and tonic.
He looks at Scott. "You not drinking?"
Scott simply shoots him a look like he should know better. He does know better and just shakes his head. It has been agreed that we should head to a bar that hasn't been graced with our presence. The choice is Mickey Finn's. An Irish bar with a reputation to play some well liked music and serve some reasonably priced beer. Not the cheapest, but reasonable is all we can ask for. Not quite the dive like Zooloo's and certainly not the caliber of Hugo's, we batten down for a couple more beers.
Then, there he is. Goddamn it! There's one in every bar at sometime of the night. The guy that's way too drunk, thinks he's the funniest ****er in the place, and plays the air guitar. Yes sir, he's here spilling beers and throwing coasters at his idiot buddies. It takes me all of five seconds to be annoyed. Scott and Moff are well aware of him too. I grit my teeth so hard I can feel it in my eye sockets. I see Moff cringe when he hears another full beer fall on the floor. Moff was a bartender in a previous life. For him, dropping a beer is an offense punishable by death. Next to the sickening retching of a good drunk puke, the sound of a full beer hitting the floor is the worst for a bartender.
I'm tired of this goon. I can tell the waitress is annoyed and something must be done.
"Lets buy him a shot of Jimmy Beam." I say.
The two sets of eyes light up with the prospect of administering some justice and getting a good laugh. Scott breaks out his wallet and pulls out a twenty.
"Do it." He says with more conviction than I've heard from anyone in along time. Moff and I each pull out a couple of bucks and make Scott put away the twenty in exchange for couple of George Washingtons. All in all, we have about twelve bucks.
"Are you gonna clean up the puke?" The waitress asks us.
Her words are against us but through her tone and her eyes we know she wants in.
Scott issues a request. "Tell him it's from a chick or something."
"No." She says. "It's from some dude who was in here, thought he was cute and just left."
We all like this plan immensely. The shot arrives. The guy's head is bobbing already but at the prospect of a freebie he is awake and ready. He smells it and shakes his head "no". I hear our agent of liquor allocation say something about female genitalia.
We try hard to hide the anticipation. All our eyes are glued on this unwitting stooge. The shot hits his lips and his cheeks balloon. His face is pale. He begins to make his way for the door and a small spurt of liquid emits from between his pursed lips. He reminds me of a cherub on a fountain. His feet hit the sidewalk momentarily followed by a volcanic display of vomit. I feel something like joy in my heart. He is gone for several minutes before he returns and orders some water. Our plan worked like a charm. Put in the "V" file, "V" for victory.
My feeling of joy is slightly undermined with a feeling of pity for the bouncer. But as they say, there is no war without casualties. He looks like someone punched him in the stomach as he's dragging a mop and bucket out to the sidewalk. We keep watching our newfound friend. He's quiet and subdued. His face is pale and sickly. He's no longer making an ass of himself. We've done him a favor. The waitress walks by and Scott slips a twenty into her hand.
"Spilt that with him." He says pointing through the window at the bouncer.
"I will." She says.
We know she will too. She has this look on her face like she's a judge and the prisoner she's condemned to death has just had his sentence carried out.

well….certainly not as cool as banging 25 year old hottie….but as far as "Best Bar Stories" go….it's worthy….
Some may not think this is funny….but I do…..true story……
I don't consider myself a homophobe, but I have a friend who is. (by the way….why do some gay guys feel the need to totally flaunt the fact that they are gay?? I don't get it! I guess I should run around yelling "I EAT PUSSY!" all the time to flaunt my un-gayness? I don't mind that you're gay….I mind that you're a ****ing IDIOT that thinks anyone else gives a rats ass that you're gay. so shut the **** up already and stop talking like a retarded fairy! you don't really talk like that. you are making yourself talk that way. shut the **** up.
end rant/
but anyways…so my friend and I are going to a concert at the joint on Broadway. We get there way early (before the doors were open) and waaayyy messed up (I was still young and dumb and thought the only way to see a concert is smashed…). So we park and run across the street into the first bar we hit. I gotta pee bad and tell my friend to grab me the biggest beer they've got and I'll meet him in the back by the pool tables. I come out of the bathroom and he's standing by a pool table with a huge frigging beer for me….and sure as shit….he's tripping. "this is a gay place" he's saying. I tell him he's full of shit and I ain't leaving a gallon of beer behind so shut up and let's play pool. We played a few games when I noticed on an end table a muscle magazine and I chuckled because I realized…he's probably right…it very well may be a gay bar. he heard me chuckle and IMMEDIATELY jumps all over it. WHAT! WHAT IS IT??! You saw SOMETHING didn't you! I'm laughing now and telling him to chill. I get him calmed down and he walks to the end of the pool table to rack'em and then….after playing pool for at least a half hour or so…..I notice behind him on the wall……I shit you not…..this poster. This was a big sonofabitching poster! It was a poster of two nekked dudes….and they were at LEAST as big as life size…I think bigger…and they are hugging each other face to face with arms and legs wrapped around each other. And….did I say they were nekked?! We've been there maybe 45 minutes playing pool under this monstrosity and neither of us noticed it! I'm looking up at it and I'm like "OH….MY….GOD!" my friend turned around and just about shit his pants. It was HI-LARIOUS! He left a smoke trail heading outta that place. I was laughing out loud. I slammed the rest of my gallon-o-beer and moseyed on towards the door and as I come out of the pool table area into the main room there are several dudes now seated in there wearing boas and what not. Obviously gay. It was pretty damn funny. I get outside and look at the sign above the door…..it was called The Other Side.
This may just be one of those stories where you had to be there to appreciate it…..but it was hella-funny!

The bold parts are lame teasers devoid of details.
The underlined part doesn't make sense.

- These articles were first published many year's ago and whilst some are as relevant today as they were when new, many are now mostly of historical interest as modern research and coaching methods have superseded them.
The Anatomy of Speed
By Frank Horwill
Joe Louis, the former great heavyweight champion of the world was getting too big for his boots, so thought his trainer. His mentor said to him, "So, you think you're good do you? Well, all the greatest fighters could catch a fly in mid-flight with either hand. When you can do that, you can call yourself a great fighter." It took Louis a year to master the feat, and when he finally succeeded, he rushed off with the fly still in his fist and released it in front of his trainer...
You could say the capturing of a fly buzzing around a room is an act of speed of movement. The perception of speed originates from the cerebellum, a pair of finely convoluted miniature hemispheres situated in the rear of the brain and under the main structure. It allows us to perceive the speed with which we approach objects and with which objects approach us. Without this ability, we would crash into barriers. More to the point, we would miss the cricket ball hurtling towards our wicket or fail to duck a swinging punch directed at our head.
For some time, physiologists were of the opinion that this perception of speed was innate to a high degree in talented sports-people, or could be acquired. Strangely enough, they were shocked to discover from reaction tests on world-class tennis players that their reaction times were no better than lesser talented individuals. So, what made them better? Apparently, they could "read" the game better. However, in slight contradiction of that theory, there is a growing belief that, in the sensory area of the brain, a skill that has been rehearsed many times becomes memorised, and that when a sports-person wishes to perform that particular skill, the "record" is immediately replayed. These well-rehearsed motor patterns which we can call on without much thought are called engrams by psychologists. Research by Franklin Henry at the University of California revealed that we do not necessarily possess general speed, but may possess specific speed. In other words, there is little if any carry-over from one sport to another unless the skills are nearly identical.
Striding out
If we pick ten school children of the same age and ask them to sprint 100m flat out three times with adequate rest after each effort, the odds are that the first three places will be filled by the same athletes. But, if the distance were then shortened to 60m the result may differ a little owing to some having a faster reaction time to the gun and possibly better starting technique.
Speed is defined as rate of stride multiplied by length of stride. The first three home in the 100 yards dash may have different speed abilities. One might have a rate of five strides a second and cover 2m per stride, making a total distance of 10m covered in a second. But another may only have a rate of four strides a second and cover 2.6m per stride, resulting in 10.4m being covered in a second, slightly faster than the faster striding runner.
While the rapid strider may have more fast-twitch muscle fibres in his legs, the slower strider may be able to exert more force on the ground as his foot pushes off to cover more distance. This latter point is a pungent answer to those who believe that sprinting speed cannot be improved and that we are either born fast or slow. We can improve sprinting speed by specific leg strength exercises which will enable us to cover more distance per stride.
Let's say that after twelve weeks of every-other-day strength training, we succeed in increasing our stride length by two inches (five centimetres). On average, we take 50 strides to cover 100m and 200 strides to cover 400m: that's a possible 50 x 2 inches faster respectively than before. That's about 0.3 and 1.2 seconds improvement, not to be sniffed at in sprint races!
But there are those who believe that even the rate of stride can be improved. One such was the Soviet coach Nikolay Osolin, who conducted painstaking research into the matter. He found that conventional sprint training became stereotyped and slowed down improvement. He tested sprinters on a downward slope of 2-3% and measured stride frequency. Immediately after downhill sprinting, stride frequency on the level increased by an average of 17%. He warned that the hill must not be too steep. He pressed on with his research and found that a sequence of sprinting up a gradual hill one day, sprinting downhill the next day and on the flat the third day was the ideal combination.
Recovery time
Another Soviet research, S. Kaledin, decided to investigate the effect of long recovery versus short recovery intervals. Each of two groups ran four series of the following, four days a week: 30m, 60m, 100m, 300m. The only difference in training was rest time after each repetition. One group took 1 minute, 1.5, 1.5 and 2. The other group recovered about 50% longer after each run.
A year later he tested the sprinters at various distances. At 30m, both groups were equal; average improvement was 0.4 second. At 60m, the short recovery group had a decided advantage - 0.9 seconds faster, compared to 0.6 seconds for the longer resters. The difference was more pronounced at 300m, where the short recoverers had a 4.5 to 3.1 edge improvement.
One leg at a time
With regard to the acquisition of specific leg strength for sprinters, there has been a major shift in thinking. It has taken nearly a century for physiologists to realise that we only use one leg at a time to propel ourselves forwards. Therefore, logically, all strength training should be confined to one leg at a time. Hopping up a gradual incline comes to mind over a specific distance, starting with 25m and aiming to reduce the number of hops. Hopping over hurdles is another activity, and increasing the number of barriers. One-legged squats with weights is also growing in popularity. Recent research suggests that the hip flexors and extensors are the main movers of the leg throughout the swinging stage. Knee extension and leg curl exercises have been relegated in importance but not abolished.
DIY speed tests
There are a number of simple speed tests which are linked to dynamic flexibility: in fact many believe that a trio exists: speed - flexibility - balance-coordination. Here are a few.
Test 1: From a standing start, sprint 40 yards (36.6m). Good times are sub-5 seconds for a male and sub-6 for a female. This is a requisite for track racing, football, rugby, hockey and cricket.
Test 2: Twist and touch. This is a spinal rotation examination. A line is drawn perpendicular to a wall. On either side of the line on the wall, a horizontal scale is extended from 0 to 30 inches just above shoulder height. The athlete stands with the non-preferred side to the wall on the line, and without moving the feet, twists back around touching the wall with the preferred hand palm downwards and holds it for two seconds. This action is required by most throwing eventers, such as volleyball players and cricket fielders.
Test 3: Squat, twist and touch. This measures the speed with which an athlete can flex and extend legs and rotate the spine. A belt is placed around the arms, tight enough to restrict the upper arms but allowing movement of the lower arms to bring the palms together in front of the body.
The athlete stands between two uprights with adjustable plates level to the elbows. Two other tap plates are placed on the uprights 18 inches below the others. When the start signal is given, the athlete, standing upright, twists to the right and touches the top plate with both hands, then squats and touches the lower tap plate on the right with both hands. While in the squat position, the athlete twists to the left and touches the lower left tap plate with both hands, and then rises to touch the top plate on the left with both hands. This completes one cycle. This continues for 30 seconds. A score of 15 completed cycles is good. I have found that weight training stands can be readily adapted for this test and stiff cardboard cut to the right lengths with holes inserted for string to go through for securing to the stand. This is a requisite for boxing, wrestling and rugby.
Test 4: Dodge run. This test measures the ability to change direction either suddenly or in a continuous fashion while moving forward. Six cones or chairs are set up in pairs six feet apart and the same distance behind each other. The starting line is eight feet away from the first pair of chairs. The chairs are negotiated twice - the outward zig-zagging trip and back. The run is timed. It's a good idea to vary the distance of the cones from feet to yards and compare times. See diagram below. This is indicated for tennis, hockey, football and rugby.
Test 5: Shuttle run. This test measures the speed with which an athlete can suddenly and completely change body direction. Two parallel lines are drawn 15 feet apart. The athlete starts behind one line and runs to the opposite line where both feet must cross the line, then return to the start. This completes one trip. The time is take to complete five trips. This is indicated practically all team ball games.
Test 6: The duck test. This measures the ability of an athlete to alter body position while moving forward at fast speed. Two up-rights are placed ten feet apart (high jump stands or weight stands will suffice). A bar is placed across and adjusted to the height of the athlete's navel. Starting at the right and behind one of the stands, run under the bar and around the next stand and back under the bar, criss-crossing in this manner (figure of eight fashion) until four round trips have been done and timed. This is indicated in tennis where sudden surges forward are required to scoop up a dropshot just over the net. It's also a good suppling test for hurdlers and steeplechasers.
When testing an entire team, a mean average will soon be established for each test and also an average for positional players, e.g. defenders and attackers.

WICHITA, Kan.—It had been so long since Wisconsin-Green Bay had to win a close game, coach Matt Bollant tried to simulate tight late-game situations for the Phoenix in practices leading up to the NCAA tournament.
The Phoenix showed Sunday they haven't forgotten how to come through in the clutch. Kayla Tetschlag scored 24 points and fifth-seeded Green Bay extended its winning streak to 21 games, beating Arkansas-Little Rock 59-55 in the first round.
Green Bay (33-1) overmatched most of its Horizon League foes and hadn't won a game by a single-digit margin since Jan. 27 against Butler. Sun Belt Conference champion Arkansas-Little Rock (23-8) made the Phoenix sweat this one out—which is exactly what they expected.
"It was a lot of fun," Tetschlag said. "We live for these kind of games. We haven't had a lot of them.
"I like the high level of competition. … I can't explain it. I don't know what it is. I get those extra butterflies before the game to get me going."
Bollant said he always tells his players to "enjoy the fight" and he thought the Phoenix did that.
"It's too bad we had to play such a good mid-major in the first round," he said.
Thanks to 24 points from Chastity Reed, the Trojans led midway through the second half and remained within striking distance in the final minutes, never letting Green Bay's lead grow to more than 10. UALR pulled within 58-55 on a 3-pointer by Taylor Ford with 3 seconds left, but Julie Wojta hit a clinching free throw with 1.9 seconds to go.
"We didn't give up," Reed said. "We had a chance. We just didn't knock down some tough shots."
Green Bay will play fourth-seeded Michigan State in the second round Tuesday. It's the second straight season Green Bay has won its tournament opener. The Phoenix are 4-2 all-time in NCAA tournament games played at neutral sites.
The second half turned into a showdown between Reed, the Sun Belt Conference player of the year, and Tetschlag, who shared Horizon League player of the year honors with teammate Celeste Hoewisch.
Reed, after scoring only five points in the first half, rallied UALR after halftime, hitting medium-range jumpers and scoring 10 straight points for the Trojans in one stretch. Tetschlag matched her on the other end, continually catching lob passes inside and scoring.
"I thought Kayla was unbelievable throughout the game," Bollant said. "When we needed a basket, we need a play made, she was there and has done it time and time again in her career. She has been unbelievable in big games and to see her step up when we had to have her was special."
UALR's final lead came with 10:31 left, when Asriel Rolfe hit 1 of 2 free throws to make it 37-36. Tetschlag scored a minute later to put Green Bay ahead for good, and the Phoenix led 48-41 after Hoewisch's 3-pointer with 5:55 to go. The lead swelled to double digits for the first time on a 3-pointer by Sarah Eichler with 4:39 left that made it 51-41.
Reed, a senior, said she felt "like I let my team down and my coach," but UALR coach Joe Foley wasn't hearing any of that.
"Green Bay won the game," Foley said, turning toward Reed and Rolfe. "They didn't lose it. They fought their butts off."
UALR's starting point guard, Shanika Butler, picked up her fourth foul with 17:25 left and sat out for a long stretch before returning and fouling out with 2:04 left. Foley said her presence would have helped the Trojans, particularly on the defensive end.
UALR turned the ball over on its first three possessions—committing two charging fouls—and had trouble penetrating Green Bay's zone defense the entire first half. Still, the Trojans led 17-10 early.
Then UALR went nearly six minutes without a point and Green Bay slowly caught up. The Phoenix closed the half on a 7-2 spurt, and Wojta's 3-pointer just before halftime gave Green Bay its largest lead to that point at 28-23.
Arkansas-Little Rock won its first-round game last season as a double-digit seed, stunning Georgia Tech.

Description: The santoku is the traditional Japanese chefs knife. "Santoku" loosely translates to "knife of three virtues". Some people speculate that this refers to the three cutting tasks the knife performs beautifully: slicing; dicing; and mincing. Others have proposed that it could refer to the knife's ability to cut fish, meats and vegetables. Regardless, the message is that this is the general purpose knife used in Japan. The Santoku has quickly become the new favorite for chefs in the West. The santoku's blade and handle are designed to work in harmony by matching the blade's width and weight to the weight of blade tang and handle, and the original Japanese santoku is considered a well-balanced knife. This comfortable design is a fantastic multipurpose chopper.
The hammer-finished, damascus blades of these Ohishi knives are designed for the chef who needs a high-performing tool and appreciates a thing of beauty.
The ambidextrous blade is formed from a central layer of VG10 super-steel, surrounded by 15 layers of softer stainless damascus. The VG10 stainless steel is hardened to Hrc 60-61 ensuring that the blade will take and hold an extremely sharp edge.
The unique tsuchime, or hammer finish, enhances both the look and performance of the knife. Each of the hammer blows produce an effect similar to that of a granton edge - allowing the knife to move more cleanly and efficiently through the food and assisting the food to fall away from the side of the knife rather than sticking.
A mahogany-toned pakkawood handle completes the piece. Pakkawood provides strength and stability along with moisture resistance -- a valuable set of virtues in both home and commercial kitchens.

These have been impressive days for European research, highlighted by last year's discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN and this year's publication of the fifth assessment report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Both are stunning examples of thousands of researchers collaborating to push the boundaries of data-intensive science. But whether you're part of a team in one of the world's biggest research facilities or an individual working alone in a university lab, today's research challenge remains largely the same: more data, more analysis, less time.
Cloud computing can really help researchers resolve the issue of big data and focus on accelerating research breakthroughs and insights. That's why we're excited to announce the free, three-part Windows Azure for Research webinar series we are offering starting 20 November. These one-hour, interactive online sessions will bring cloud computing to life, explaining what it is, why it is so useful, and how to use it for your research in practical ways. We're looking forward to answering your questions live during the sessions, so please join me online to explore:
· Accelerating Your Research with Windows Azure
20 November 2013
· Virtual Machines for Research on Windows Azure
4 December 2013
· Environmental Science on the Cloud with Windows Azure
17 December 2013
Also, we're bringing our Windows Azure for Research program to Europe and Africa. This week (11–15 November), around 100 researchers will converge on ETH Zurich and the Microsoft Research-INRIA Joint Research Centre near Paris for hands-on training on how to use Windows Azure—Microsoft's cloud-computing platform—to simplify their data-intensive work. These two-day courses (11–12 November at ETH Zurich; 14–15 November at the Joint Centre) cover everything from Linux virtual machines, IPython, scaling out R and MATLAB calculations, cloud storage, sensor data processing, and, of course, big data processing. We're delighted to offer several more courses across Europe and Africa over the next few weeks. Sign up now to secure your place and get hands-on experience developing and deploying your research applications in the cloud:
· Cape Town, South Africa, 9–10 December 2013
· Oxford, UK, 20–21 January 2014
· Amsterdam, Netherlands, late March 2014
In addition to the trainings, we're offering substantial allocations of Windows Azure storage and compute resources for selected proposals through the Windows Azure Research Awards Program. (Learn more about the awards.) We're currently working with dozens of research teams across the world who responded to the first RFP, including European researchers from the British Library, STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Pantheon-Sorbonne University, Politecnico di Milano, Freiburg University, University College London, Newcastle University, INRIA, Vavilov Institute of General Genetics Russian Academy of Science, and the University of St Andrews. We're excited to have a range of projects, from bioinformatics and environmental science to image processing and Science 2.0.
We can't wait to meet you, in person or online, so we can work together to help you take advantage of the cloud to make your research easier, faster, and more scalable. Please join the discussion on our Windows Azure for Research LinkedIn Group and on Twitter via @azure4research and we encourage you to use #azureresearch for all postings.

In this age of total media transparency, consumers demand the truth like never before. We help organisations discover and define the truth about their brands and tell their story brilliantly
We don't just work with the superficial or obvious. We delve deep to find compelling truths. Sometimes they can be painful or make for difficult reading, but to us they are the fuel for success
If you're not changing and innovating you are actually withering away very slowly. For us, growth is everything, be it your business, brand or both
Like the truth, change can be painful and scary. We thrive on change because it feeds innovative thinking. And changing consumer behaviours is at the heart of brand and business growth
Because we're a truly integrated agency we can do what's right for our clients. Great work is great work regardless of whether it's an iPhone app or a TV campaign
Finding the truth can be a challenge, telling it well can be even harder. But that's what we do, and we think we do it brilliantly, regardless of challenge, channel or consumer
