William Kraus, M.D., presented the subcommittee report on
cardio-respiratory health. Dr. Kraus opened with the thought that this area is
challenged by the fact that an exposure is a continuum; however, the outcomes in
this area are continuous. The subcommittee reviewed eight major findings.
There are favorable dose-response relationships between
increases of habitual physical activity and:
CHD morbidity and mortality
CVD morbidity and mortality
Cerebrovascular disease and stroke
Blood pressure control
Atherogenic dyslipidemia
Vascular health: brachial artery flow media dilation (BAFMD)
Cardio-respiratory fitness
In analyzing the characteristics of the dose-response
relationships in observational and case-controlled studies increased intensity
bouts appears to be associated with more favorable outcomes; however, volume in
these studies are poorly controlled and it may be an important factor. In
experimental studies increased intensity does not always hold (i.e., HDL, TG).
Frequency and duration of activity in these studies are poorly studied.
Most, if not all CRH outcomes, are associated with favorable and
reproducible responses with weekly volume of 800 MET-minutes per week
(equivalent to 12 miles per week). This can be achieved and individualized with
combinations of intensities, durations and frequencies. In inactive individuals,
any goal should be built gradually.
The subcommittee reviewed the following 4 research questions and
summarized conclusions for each question:
What is the relation between physical activity and the
prevention of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality?
Data from prospective cohort studies and case-control studies, between
1995-2007, support a strong and consistent inverse association between level
of physical activity and CHD or CVB morbidity and mortality.
Men and women who report moderate levels of physical activity experience a 20%
- 25% lower risk that their least activity counterparts, while those reporting
high levels of activity experience a 30% - 35% lower risk than the least
active. This is based on 68 study groups in prospective cohort studies and
case-control studies with approximately 872,000 subjects.
The inverse relation is evident in men and women at all ages and based on very
limited data there does not appear to be any differences in the relationship
based on race or ethnicity.
The inverse relation between activity and CVD morbidity and mortality appears
to occur in normal weight, overweight and obese men and women.
What are the dose response relations between physical activity and
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality?
Much of the data since 1995 is on occupational work and commuting measuring
amount of activity performed per day or week with limited data on activity
intensity. The different measures make it difficult to draw conclusions across
all studies. Of 33 studies reporting analysis for significant dose-response, 21
were significant.
The data are consistent in showing significant benefit with 2 hours of
moderate-intensity activity or greater per week. Lower amounts of activity show
some benefit. Greater benefit is associated with higher levels of activity.
What is the relation between physical activity and the
prevention of cerebrovascular disease morbidity and mortality?
Based on 24 study groups in prospective cohort and case controlled studies there
is a reasonably strong and consistent inverse association for both men and women
between amount of habitual physical activity performed and morbidity and
mortality resulting from strokes.
Compared to the least active, persons reporting moderate or high levels of
physical activity have approximately a 25% lower risk of all and ischemic
stroke. The results shown are greater between study variability than data for
CHD and CVD.
What are the dose-response relations between physical activity
and cerebrovascular disease?
From 24 sex specific reports on physical activity and stroke, 12 reported an
analysis of dose-response.
Lower rates of stroke are consistently reported when 2 hours, or more, of
moderate-intensity activity per week is performed. Lower levels of activity are
inconsistently inversely related to strokes

Why Not?—I'll tell you why not: Because it sucks. ABC has given an unusually quick hook to Heather Graham's new sitcom "Emily's Reasons Why Not," yanking the show off the air after only one episode. The show debuted Jan. 9 (along with John Stamos' "Jake in Progress") to a bad-but-not-abysmal 6.2 million viewers. But, with the threat of FOX's "24" looming, NBC decided to cut its losses (as well as John Stamos' "Jake in Progress"). "Creatively, the show did not get to where it needed to," ABC programming chief Steve McPherson told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour, in a surprising bit of candor. "All of us tried really hard--producers, network, studio--but it just never got on track." In other words: It sucked; moving on ...
Developing "Development"—Speaking of that press tour, McPherson also fielded questions about ABC possibly picking up FOX's injured series "Arrested Development." Despite the rumors, McPherson said it was "a long shot" that ABC would pick up the sitcom. "I don't foresee it," were his exact words. Oh well. There's still HBO. And, oddly enough, FOX. Early last week, FOX head Peter Ligouri acknowledged it was "highly unlikely" FOX would pick up the show for a fourth season. And yet the network has refused to officially cancel it. If you love something, FOX, set it free.
The President is Dead—NBC has been planning the demise of Thursday-night sitcom "Will & Grace" for some time now. Just this last week, however, it was confirmed that the network would also say good-bye to longtime political drama "The West Wing." Both shows will end their runs at the end of this season. "West Wing" will elect itself a new president, ship Martin Sheen off into retirement and possibly welcome poor unemployed Rob Lowe back for a cameo on May 14. "Will & Grace" will bow out with an hour-long episode (hopefully not live) on May 18.
Summertime Series—NBC has announced two new shows that will fill holes come summer. "Windfall" is an hour-long drama that started out at FOX, but jumped networks before airing. The ensemble drama follows a diverse group of 20 friends (Luke Perry, Jason Gedrick and Sarah Wynter among them), all of whom are splitting in a $386 million lottery win. "Treasure Hunters" will also debut this summer and is described as a "fast-paced adventure/reality series"--which translates to "The Amazing Race" meets National Treasure. The shows are expected to debut in June.
Late-Night FOX—More than a decade after the infamous demise of "The Chevy Chase Show," FOX is tossing its hat into the late-night talk show arena. The network has picked up "Talk Show with Spike Feresten" for the fall season. The half-hour, late-night show will air on Saturdays following "MADtv" and will mix filmed comedy bits in with the traditional celebrity interviews. Feresten is a former "Seinfeld" writer with only one onscreen credit to his name--that of "folk singer" in Pauly Shore's 1995 film Jury Duty.

text: Film essayist Nanni Moretti, winner of the Cannes Best Director Award for his memorable Caro Diario (1994), continues in a diaristic mode with this Italian-French comedy-drama blending his political observations with his personal life, a chronicle of a two-and-a-half year period that includes the pregnancy of his partner Silvia Nono and the April birth of their son Pietro. Moretti putts about Rome on his Vespa, visits childhood haunts, watches an Albanian refugee boat arrive, writes letters that are never mailed, looks over a rainy Milan anti-right demonstration, and begins work on a musical set in the '50s, including the iridescent production number seen here. Other music ranges from Latin-American songs to Afro and Italian pop. Moretti's anxieties and humor, along with the self-aware creative cul-de-sacs of his autobiographical approach, often bring Woody Allen to mind.~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Work with smart people
The best part about working at Directi are the people. Everyone is super-smart and super-intelligent. I learn something new everyday, from everyone.
Be part of Projects that have global impact
I love the challenges we face at Directi. Most of our applications cater to millions of users. One of our products delivers 20+ billion ad impressions per year. All applications are deployed on multi-homed clustered geo-distributed scalable environments. We get to work with caching, Horizontal partitioning, Clustering, Distributed Computing etc - technologies / concepts / tools that very few companies work with.
Open and Transparent Culture
Anyone in the organization at any level, any designation, any management band, in any team can freely approach anyone else at any level / team / designation to discuss anything. Our Management actually reprimands us if we bother knocking before entering their cabins.
Penchant for Productivity
At Directi we are super-obsessive about productivity. Every employee in every department has multiple LCD monitors. Our facilities team is always researching ergonomics as it applies to lighting, seating, workstations etc. Any tool, device, software that can help us work better, is for the asking.
All work and some play
My Friday nights are reserved for network gaming - and counter-strike is the flavor of the month. Additional activities include interest groups such as the trekking group, a movie club, a cricket league, a soccer league etc.
Flexible working hours
We are a creative organization with creative people, and IMHO creativity does not start and end with an alarm clock. The best software engineers I know have their high days and low days, and flexible working hours account for this quirk.
Zero politics
I have been with Directi for 5 years and seen us grow from 60 people in 1 office to 550+ across 4 offices today. Despite our exponential growth, we continue to retain our culture and values. I hear stories about office politics from my friends who work at other companies and I am proud to be able to say that - we don't have any of that at Directi.
An accessible, always-stocked snackbar, with goodies, fresh juices, and other treats takes care of my in-between meals munching needs.
Make a difference
I love the fact that my work here has an impact on tens of thousands of users worldwide. It feels great to be able to touch so many users in so many different ways.
Performance is the only thing that matters
I have witnessed that promotions have been independent of academics, qualifications, experience, age. The only thing that matters here is performance.
Continuous Learning
Directi gives considerable importance to constant learning. There are regular workshops, seminars, training sessions. We have an open budget for purchasing books. External Certifications, Courses and conferences are sponsored or subsidized. There are several avenues to keep educating myself.
Products Company
Having been on both sides of the fence, I can say for sure that the work culture in a products company vs a services company are universes apart! For one thing, in a products company, if you are working on a product, you "own" it. You are responsible for its success. Additionally, innovation and free-thinking are valued virtues in a products company as opposed to strict compliance to client requirements in a services company.
Clear Career Path
Our intranet contains documentation on everything under the sun. One of our Intranet applications internally known as 'Tapestry' outlines every designation, role, management band and career path in the company. I know my options for growth at Directi for the foreseeable future.

Deck the Apple TV in Warm Wood With the Lazerwood Cover
The latest puck-size black Apple TV is small enough to hide away or even mount behind a flat panel. But since I keep our unit out for improved remote reception, I like this idea from Lazerwood which adds a small decorative/decor-friendly touch, a wood veneer appliqué that gives the media device a little midcentury style.
The stick and peel laser cut piece of wood is available in walnut or black stained cherry finish for $20. I'd be the first to point out your Apple TV doesn't need a "cover" like an iPhone or iPad, but in a living room environment (especially one with a lot of wood furnishings) the Lazerwood appliqué could warm up what is essential a shiny dark piece of plastic (a beautifully engineered piece of plastic and electronics, mind you).
• Lazerwood for Apple TV 2 (black) at Big Cartel
A budget option is to turn to that always popular and affordable DIY material of choice: contact paper! Same idea as Jonathan's desk and IKEA shelving, but on a much smaller and manageable scale; just trace, cut and apply. And the nice thing about this option is you can easily remove it if you feel like changing up the color/finish.

New Delhi: BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi Wednesday said that the government expedited its decision to allow FDI in retail after P. Chidambaram became the finance minister, and added that FDI would hit farmers, small traders and people seeking employment.
Participating in the Lok Sabha debate on the motion against allowing FDI in multi-brand retail, Joshi said the origins of the government`s move on FDI lay in Chidambaram`s remarks at a meeting abroad in 1996 that the foreign investors would get "huge rewards" on their investment in India.
Chidambaram assumed charge as the finance minister in August.
"As soon as he came, it was superfast (decision) in retail," Joshi said.
He admitted that a document of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) had talked about FDI in retail, but said that the BJP had opposed any such move in its 2009 election manifesto.
Joshi said a Congress leader had described FDI in retail as "anti-national".
"How did your description of it (FDI) being anti-national became national?" Joshi asked, speaking in the Lok Sabha.
The BJP leader said foreign multi-nationals coming to the country after the decision on FDI would resort to monopolistic practices.
Joshi rejected claims that 35 to 40 percent of fruit and vegetable production was wasted due to inadequate storage facilities and cited reports to assert that losses for various crops were broadly in the range of five to seven percent.
He also disagreed with claims that farmers would get better prices for their produce.
Joshi took potshots at Communications Minister Kapil Sibal and Commerce Minister Anand Sharma over their defence on the FDI decision.
"It will hit workers, small traders, youth. Take a decision in the interest of the country," he said, and added that FDI would impact coming generations.
"If you want your neck to be chopped, it`s your decision. But do not do that to the country. Do not kill the small trader," he said.

PELLA?- A Mallard native has joined his brother in being inducted into the Central College Athletics Hall of Fame.
Mark Kacmarynski, who now resides in West Des Moines, was inducted into the Central College Athletics Hall of Honor in September as part of Central College's 2013 Homecoming festivities.
Mark Kacmarynski is a 1996 Central College graduate, who earned the honors as Central's all-time leading rusher with 5,855 yards during his collegiate career for the Dutch, which spanned the seasons of 1992 through 1996.
Article Photos
CENTRAL?COLLEGE?HONOREES - These four Central College alumni were inducted in the the Central College Athletic Hall of Fame during ceremonies on Sept 28. Inducted were Brian O'Donnell '70, in front; and in back from left to right, Mark Kacmarynski '96 (football), Cindy (Kline) Olson '88 (women's golf), John Bermel '84 (men's golf). - Submitted photo
In that time, Kacmarynski, playing as a tailback, averaged 6.3 yards per carry and also had 100 rushes during the 1994 season. Kacmarynski averaged 174.1 yards per game during that 1994 season, and averaged 133 yards per game through his collegiate career. He had 14 consecutive games of over 100 rushing yards and three consecutive games where he rushed for over 200 yards. His best single-game performance came during a game against Simpson in 1994, when he gained 248 yards in the contest.
All told, Kacmarynski rushed for 100 yards or more in a total of 30 football games, and rushed for over 200 yards in nine contests. He played three seasons with over 1,000 yards of rushing, with 40 rushes in a game against Luther in 1996, on his way to amassing a total of 928 rushing attempts at Central College.
Kacmarynski scored five touchdowns in a game against Dubuque in 1995 and 21 rushing touchdowns in 1994, when he ran 236 times to gain 1,741 yards during the season.
During his high school career at Mallard and West Bend-Mallard, Kacmarynski rolled up 4,881 rushing yards, 81 touchdowns and 490 points in three years of play, and earned him All-State selections in 1990 and 1991.
Kacmarynski was a two-time consensus All-America honoree and National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III National Player of the Year finalist.
Following graduation, Kacmarynski competed in three NFL training camps after signing free agent contracts. He was with the Chicago Bears' camp in 1997, with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1999 and the Indianapolis Colts in 2000.
He later signed with the New York Giants but then was not given a spot at the camp. The Eagles assigned Kacmarynski to NFL Europe and he played for the Frankfurt Galaxy, which went on to win the 1999 World Bowl, although he missed the championship game with a broken jaw. He then played with Amsterdam in 2000.
Kacmarynski's brother, Rich, was inducted into the Central College Athletics Hall of Honor in 2011, and the brothers are the first siblings in the history of Central College to receive the distinction.

Pursuing an LLM / Re: Is an LLM worth it?« on: December 14, 2011, 10:08:44 AM »
I've spoken with a handful of tax attorneys and a tax court judge, and their opinions are split. Some insist I should get the LLM, especially since my undergrad degree is not in tax. Others insist that, unless I plan to practice transactional law, it's a waste of time. I've taken 1 LLM class so far (business valuation & financial statement analysis, for JD credit) and hated it, so I'm a little turned off by the transactional route. I'm meeting with the LLM director over the break, who will obviously have his own bias. Just really frustrated at all the conflicting advice

Wedding Traditions: Giving the Toast (and What to Do When You Can't Toast)
A bridal couple nixes the traditional toast — but the parents want to speak up
(page 1 of 2)
Regardless of new traditions and the informality of some weddings, there are some rules of etiquette that always need to be followed. When that's not possible, sometimes a compromise will work!
Dear Wedding Guru: "My son and future daughter-in-law want to only have toasts at the rehearsal dinner. Apparently, they've heard many horrible toasts at weddings (usually by people who have had one too many). I sympathize, because I've heard some as well! Still, I tried to convince them to allow my husband to make one short toast at the wedding in order to thank the bride's parents for hosting it. We think that not doing so would be an unforgiveable faux pas. Are we wrong?"

'Wolfenstein: The New Order' Marketing Team Created Fictional Record Label For Promo Campaign
What might pop culture have looked like in the 1960s if Germany had won World War II?
The marketing team behind the upcoming video game "Wolfenstein: The New Order" has envisioned an answer, focusing on pop songs as part of a campaign promoting the latest entry in the Nazi-hunting franchise. The new game, the ninth in a string that dates back to 1981, takes place after World War II in an alternate universe where Germany was victorious.
"When you start talking about the 1960s, what comes to mind for a lot of people is pop culture, the music art and social changes going on at that time," said Ed Davis, account director at the advertising agency AKQA, which worked with game publisher Bethesda Softworks and Copilot Music + Sound, a music content and strategy firm, to develop the campaign.
Bethesda, AKQA and Copilot invented a fictional state-owned German record label, Neumond Recording Company, created backstories for a dozen bands to comprise the label's roster and wrote original songs to sound like various '60s pop styles: there's a torchy love ballad from Karl & Karla, garage-rock by the Bunkers, a surf tune from the Comet Tails and the psychedelic sound of Schwartz-Rote Welle. Last week, they posted snippets of the songs in a video clip designed to resemble a late-night infomercial hawking a Neumond Recordings nostalgia compilation.
Initially, Bethesda and AKQA had considered licensing existing songs for the campaign, an idea that proved potentially expensive and ultimately impractical.
"People get a little skittish about licensing their music when it's about Nazis, even when it's about shooting and killing them," said Pete Hines, vice president for public relations and marketing at Bethesda.
Instead, they licensed a handful of songs for the trailers, including Jimi Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower," and hired Copilot to come up with original tunes to help flesh out the storyline of the game, which comes out on May 20. The newest "Wolfenstein" incarnation, developed by MachineGames, takes place in the '60s, when an Allied operative infiltrates Nazi installations in Europe in an attempt to bring down the regime by taking control of super weapons the Germans used to conquer the world. As part of that alternate world, it seemed plausible that the victors would have co-opted popular culture.
"How would this label, which would have been an official label of the state, how would they have put out music that would have interested young people who would have been listening to the radio?" said Ravi Krishnaswami of Copilot.
Given the sensitive subject matter, Mr. Krishnaswami and his Copilot partner, Jason Menkes, took care to make the songs themselves as innocuous as possible.
"Everyone had the same goals: no one wanted to create propaganda or create something that could be used for propaganda," Mr. Menkes said. "If you translate the lyrics, they're pretty benign: they're just love songs, or fun pop songs."
Mr. Menkes added his own element of subversion as Copilot sought musicians to perform the songs: "I hired as many non-Aryans as I could for this project," he said. "A lot of our artists were Jewish or black or gay."
In addition to appearing in promotional trailers, the original songs will be part of the game itself. "You'll be exploring a level and there'll be a radio somewhere and you'll hear the Bunkers and the Comet Tails," Mr. Hines said.
Bethesda also pressed 45-rpm singles of some of the songs to hand out at a "Wolfenstein"-themed party the company is throwing April 12 as part of the PAX East gaming conference in Boston. There could also be an LP pressing, Mr. Hines said.
The company has used music in marketing campaigns before—for the 2012 game "Dishonored," Copilot contributed "The Drunken Whaler, a modified version of the sea shanty "Drunken Sailor"—but creating a whole record label catalog represented a larger logistical challenge, Mr. Hines said.
"It's a lot more work to create your own stuff, that's for sure," Mr. Hines said. "There's a lot more moving pieces, but done right, it really strikes a nice chord."
What do you think of the trailer? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

So my 2.5 yr old is basically weaned. We had cut down to only the morning session by the time I had DS2, but he kept waking in the middle of then night thinking it was morning and asking to nurse. I went out of town for almost a week, and used that as a cut off on morning nursing too. He now only asks occasionally. Most times he doesn't ask at all.
Weaning was in part from the stress of tandem nursing, some from my DH (who is supportive, but DS waking to nurse was becoming taxing on us both), and some from just being ready to only nurse one. I feel as though I am mourning my nursing relationship with him though. Several times I have wanted to cuddle up with him in the bed and let him nurse, which he would happily do! At this point though, my DH would have a fit if I did that.
I guess since we are at this place, there is no use going back to it. I think I just needed to write this out so that it wouldnt be so heavy on my mind. *sigh*

Arriva London's Clapton garage helps introduce bus transport to Orchard School reception classes
At Arriva London, we take our role in the community very seriously, and are always seeking ways to help educate the community in how we can best serve them, and how complex operating buses can be. So, when we recently received this request, we looked at how we could best accommodate them.
I am the Early Years Leader at Orchard School in Well St., Hackney.http://www.orchard.hackney.sch.uk/ My Reception children are studying transport this term and we are enquiring about making a trip to visit your bus garage.
As a secondary, we have made part of our classroom into a bus and the children have had a whale of a time - do you happen to have any old bus bits / maps / clothes / etc we could have to make it even better?"
The outcome of this request was a lot of planning and preparation involving our Clapton garage and the school, which eventually resulted in the visit taking place on the 6th February.
There were three classes, a total of ninety children plus their teachers / carers, that we needed to cater for and so it was decided, both for safety and logistical reasons, to collect the children from the school in one of our New Routemaster buses, bring them to the garage and then return them afterwards.
The excitement was palpable for the drive to the garage, with many of the children never having travelled on a bus before. Although very excited, they were extremely well behaved, with shrieks of delight when operating manager Phil announced that they were going to be taken in the bus through the bus wash.
Following this, engineering manager Simon explained how the buses come into the engineering facility for regular checking and service, and then answered lots of eager questions. Simon then presented the school with some destination blinds and other souvenirs for the children to take back to school for their own bus, back in the classroom.
The bus was then taken out onto the forecourt and Oz, our driver for the day, entertained the children in the bus cab, showing them how the horn, wipers and public announcement system work.
To top it off, all the children received a red model Arriva squidgy bus to take home.
The teacher from 'Cherry' class said:-
"Three reception classes from Orchard School have been to visit Clapton bus garage. We had an incredible time; it was part of our unit on transport. A huge thank you to Arriva London. Everybody that we dealt with today was so thoughtful, and they looked after the children incredibly well".

Reports published Jan. 22, 2013 in The Mexico Ledger
MEXICO SEVENTH GRADE BOYS: The seventh grade Bulldogs finished off their season undefeated with a 12-0 record with a championship win over Hannibal in the Mexico Middle School Tournament Saturday afternoon, 49-28.
The Bulldogs led at the quarters 13-8, 27-19, and 42-24. Leading the Bulldogs for a second straight night was Deion Wayman with 10 points. Michael White added 8 points, Cameron Holman and Avion Williams each scored 7 points, Cameron Baumgartner had 6, Quinton Baumgartner and Matthew Huffman each scored 4 points, Malik Sheets scored 2 and J'Marquay McGruder scored 1 point. "We had a balanced attack and used our press and defense to create extra scoring opportunities. This group of boys came out and played in every game, I was proud of the way they grew as student-athletes," MMS Coach Brandon Schafer remarked.
MEXICO SEVENTH GRADE GIRLS: The Mexico Lady Bulldogs won their Mexico Middle School championship Saturday with a 40-22 victory against Moberly. The halftime score was 22-4. Leading scorers: Adria Costley 26P, Elisabeth Gooch 7P, Kylie Morgan 3P
"We had a great championship game where everyone contributed to the win. Moberly was a tough team, but we outscored them 14-0 in the second quarter which fueled the girls intensity after halftime. I am really proud of this group of girls; they played really hard during this entire season and really ended on a great note," stated MMS Coach Stephanie Schutte, who by the way was on the first team to win this tournament.
Mexico ended its season 6-6.
COMMUNITY R-6 GIRLS: The Lady Trojans had to grind this one out as they were faced with some early foul trouble which saw Louisiana going to the line way too often in the first half. "We kept them in the game by reaching too much and not moving our feet defensively. I knew it was going to be a good game as I have scouted the Lady Bulldogs this season and saw how they are a great mix of veteran players and some good freshmen," said R-6 Coach Bob Curtis. R-6 fought to the end and came out on top 39-32.
Paige Curtis led the R-6 attack with 12 points and 10 rebounds; Amelia Knipfel and Paige Harris chipped in 8 points apiece in the win. "I thought a big difference was the first four points of the second half came from senior leader Paige Harrison who set the tone as Louisiana went into the locker room with some momentum," said Coach Curtis. The lead swelled from 5 to 9 right away setting the mark for the second half.
JUNIOR VARSITY: The Lady Trojans came out hitting on all cylinders Thursday night as they scored 18 points in the first quarter and never looked back from that point. The JV team improved to 3-3 on the season with the decisive 38-16 victory. The scoring was led by freshman Courtney Bertels with 10 points, Bianca Stafford had 9 points, Rebecca Hagan 7, and Sam Jackson 6.
COMMUNITY R-6 BOYS: Community R-6 Trojans increased their record to 10-3 after squeaking by Louisiana Bulldogs 63-60 Thursday night. Lane Thebeau led the Trojans with 18 points followed by his brother Clay who scored 16. Lane Thebeau also hit three baskets from 3-point range. Cameron Foreman scored 5 points with 1 three-pointer and led the team with 11 rebounds, followed by Justin Durham with 5.
NORTH CALLAWAY BOYS: Elsberry scored as many points in the second half of the game as North Callaway scored throughout the entire game Friday night with the final score Elsberry 78, North Callaway 53.
For Elsberry, Kenneth Lesley scored 31 points with 17 of those in the fourth quarter. Charles Fraction scored 24 points.
For North Callaway Brett Metcalf scored 17 points. Vance Allen scored 10. Jacob Haubner brought down 9 rebounds and had 5 assists.
The Thunderbirds are 10-5 overall and 3-2 in conference.
The North Callaway junior varsity won 49-34 with Steven Coleman scored 18 points and Mike Pezold, 17.
The JV record is now 6-3.

There was a tragedy here in Hawaii in January. A young woman was killed in the street by her ex-boyfriend, a 340 pound man standing 6 feet 2 inches tall. He rammed her car first and then bludgeoned her to death with a shotgun.
A few weeks earlier, I had witnessed a tall man arguing with his girlfriend (apparently) in a parking lot at a shopping center. I would estimate that he weighed over 200 pounds and she weighed barely 100 pounds. He did not hit her, but they were arguing.
Whether an attacker weights 340 pounds or 200 pounds, a small woman is at a serious disadvantage. The attacker is taller, stronger, has a longer reach, can take a hit, etc. Honestly, there is little chance that a woman could defend herself in such a situation. Certainly, she could not trade punches with the attacker.
Please don't get me wrong. I know that there are many strong women and excellent martial artists. But when a woman is outweighed by over 100 pounds and the attacker is many times stronger... the best defense is to avoid the situation. By the time the attacker is punching, or hitting with a shotgun, it is too late for most martial arts techniques. The only hope is for the woman to escape or call for help.
In the case of the shotgun wielding attacker, a brave bystander did try to help. He was struck and seriously injured.
I know that some of you might be thinking that the woman could poke the attacker in the eyes, poke him in the throat, or kick him in the groin. I realize that these are useful techniques, but do you really think they would work? Maybe... but I am pretty sure that a shotgun wielding 340 pound man in a rage could not be stopped by a kick to the groin by a 100 pound woman. It is possible, but highly unlikely.
I try to teach Karate the very best that I can. However, my warning to my students, particularly my female students, is that Karate is a last resort. This does not only mean that it is something we should use with great reluctance. It also means that we should try to avoid having to use Karate techniques by avoiding the violent situation. By the time Karate becomes the last resort, our lives are in danger. We should do our best to avoid that last resort.
And realistically, a woman who is outweighed by 100 pounds or more cannot expect to "win" by punches and kicks. The best that she can hope for is to use a technique, such as a poke or rake to the eyes, that might buy her a second or two to escape.
It is good to spend time learning and practicing Karate, or any martial art. But when it comes to personal safety, the greatest effort must be spent on avoiding dangerous situations.

It shows the eagles and lions on ones page (the blue/"good" side), and the crocs, ravens, and wolves on the other (red/"evil" side). Maybe they did that just to help market it to the kiddies, but I was really happy they were shying away from the good vs. evil template. Either way, I'm just glad they're balancing the amount of sets they each get.

WotLK: My First Impressions
My Build:
As you know I listed my planned leveling build in a post a couple of days ago. On Wednesday I raided right up until I went to get my copy and in my excitement to get to Northrend I forgot to respec before I got on the boat. This turned out well because I noticed two things. I wasn't casting Starfire or Insect Swarm much. This makes Improved Insect Swarm pretty much useless. So I put those three points in Dreamstate instead.
The only other change I made while leveling was putting 2 points in Gale Winds. I did so for two reasons. First, I did a couple of instances with guildies and we did a lot of AoEing. Second, after a few bad pools I realized a little extra DPS from AoE would be nice. I'm not AoE grinding anything, but I find that it is helpful in a few specific situations, and Furor isn't much of a loss at this point.
The Look:
I think the Northrend art looks great. I can't be completely sure of my opinion because I recently got a new video card. So I don't know what the improvements have more to do with, my card or the expansion. Anyway, I think the game looks great. The detail in the instances and such is awesome.
Zygor's Leveling Guide:
I know I haven't taken it all the way to 80 yet, but I love what I've seen so far. It provides step by step details on how to get things done and where to go. All the while I've had the TomTom arrow to show me the way. I don't have much to compare it to since I haven't seen the Brian Kopp ingame guide but I don't think it could be much better.
The big difference is that Zygor's guide takes all of the administrative stuff out of the game. I don't have to worry about where to go when. I don't have to tab out to check wowhead or look at a guide and figure out the coordinates. All I have to think about is how to complete the quest.
I realize that some people look at leveling guides as cheating or taking the fun out of the game, so I realize that this product is not for everyone. However, if your interested in a guide and don't mind spending 50 dollars I highly recommend Zygor's guide.
(Just for the record, I am not affiliated with Zygor guide in any way other than user. I have not received any money or freebies from them. This post is purely my experience so far.)
Some of you may have heard the tanking joke "Paladin: When you need to tank absolutely everything in the room." Well, the new joke should be "Starfall: When you need to pull absolutely everything in the room." Don't get me wrong, I like it, but this ability has gotten me into trouble several times. I didn't realize just how big it's radius is, and in a couple of cases it has made a bad situation worse.
To be specific, I've had a couple of situations were I pulled a couple extra mobs and I popped Starfall to help get them down. Next thing I know I have 5 more mobs headed my way. This is a big reason why I put two points in Gale Winds. AoE is just the best way to go when you have 8 mobs beating on you. In most cases I've gotten out of it ok by popping all of my cooldowns, but I suggest that everyone be careful about when you uses Starfall.
So far I've run The Nexus, Utgarde Keep, Azjol-Nerub, & Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom. I can't help but compare these four instances to the first 4 instances of BC. I think the WotLK instances are a big improvement over the BC instances so far. While some instances are still the long hallway that plagued BC, there was a lot of variety in the bosses. Virtually ever boss in Ramps, BF, SP, & UB was a tank and spank. Very few of the bosses I fought so far have been tank and spanks. So, I'm happy.
My favorite boss so far has been Herald Volazj in The Old Kingdom. I have a feeling that many will consider him to be the new Blackheart the Inciter from Shadow Labs, but I love having to DPS all of the adds down and then helping out my group members. I thought it was a lot of fun.
Most of the quests are the type of quests that we have grown to expect from Blizzard. Kill 20 of this, Collect 10 of that, use this item on those mobs. Nothing really special, but that is to be expected in my opinion.
On the positive side we have gotten all of the new "vehicle" quests (for lack of a better term). For the most part I have enjoyed those quite a bit. Especially the quest where you ride the dragon around Wyrmrest Temple. I can't wait to try the instance where the whole party is on dragons.
On a negative note I do think Blizzard designed some of their quests quite poorly, and I'm not talking about spawn rates.
The first quest I absolutely hated was The Clutches of Evil. I'm sure it doesn't help that I did it at peak play time and I am sure it will get better after the crowds die down but it is an absolute nightmare now. The 15 eggs were easy, but the 15 whelps were like pulling teeth. For those of you that don't know the Proto-Whelps spawn from the fire of the Proto-Drakes that are flying above, and they generally don't spawn until the end of a breath. So you have a ton of people running around following the breaths looking for a spawn. I was in a full group to try and make it easier, but there were a ton of people all trying to get the same spawn. Luckily I am very fast with my moonfire and didn't miss many but it was rough. To make matters worse there was a follow up quest that asked you to kill the Proto-Drakes that caused the whelps to spawn. So there were times when there were no drakes in the air. All around just a poor design.
The second quest I hated was A Righteous Sermon. In this quest you have to go down to the dungeon of Wintergarde Keep and here a sermon delivered to an undead. Its not hard, you just have to watch a cut seen. The problem is that the cut seen takes about a minute and you can't group to complete it. As you can imagine in these busy times there were several people that all wanted the quest at once. I would have been fine taking turns to do it, but it was clear that no one else was interested in that, so It took me several attempts to get the quest done. This is probably the worst example of this that I have seen but it is not the only example. Blizzard needs to do a better job of avoiding these type of back ups in the future.
As I said before I am happy with the expansion so far. It has been a little annoying waiting on respawns and I think we have all seen our share of asshats but those are to be expected.
I am looking forward to getting to level 77 so I can use my flying mount. I'm tired of having to run up and down all of these cliffs.
I want to say congrats to Erbodi. He is the first member of my guild to hit level 80, and he was the first Dwarf on my server to hit level 80. He said that his chat box was full of whispers after he got the achievement.

Currently use QuestHelper mod and basically tells you where to go on the map and what to do for questing. I really enjoy it since i dont have to read every quest and it tells you when you have multiple all in the same area. I have also noticed on kill quest it will highlight on your map the various area's mobs are so you dont have to just sit in one area.
As far as leveling goes. Instances are a blast, they are short and fun and not a ton of trash. Quests are boring but some good ones in there also and great story lines also. Much better than TBC and Classic.
Over all i like the xpac so far, spawn rates are not terrible, and enough changes to the old system to make it fun but not like a new game.
On a note about your casting. I know I Starfire like crazy when soloing because I normally 2 shot mobs if i crit at least 1 time. Wrath is easy and was a habit of mine for ever also.

Two shotting mobs is definately an advantage for Starfire, but I don't think it works well in the current environment. In the 2.5 - 3 seconds it takes to cast SF I find that some one else has tagged it. I tend to use MF to tag a mob and then use Wrath to kill it because of the push back resistance. When things are less crowded I do use SF more.

First off, great blog! I appreciate your distillation of theory-crafting and ideas, tips, in general. Glad to have found it
@cdin, if there's an issue with starting off with MF, it's that the initial damage is so low that others can still swoop in and get credit. Best case, I crit w/ MF and can get SF off a little more quickly, or I stick with Wrath. Worst case... well, I wait for a re-spawn.
And regarding Starfall's range... yeah, it's pretty big. Let me apologize to the Kara PUG I was in last week for getting swarmed with the opera guests. I really don't know how they were aggro'd, honest... =/

Thanks for the complements.
I'm not a 100% sure on how the mechanics work but I am fairly sure that a mob is tagged when it is damaged. I haven't had any problems with mobs being stolen after I got an MF off.
If they are being stolen off of you, my guess is that it is lag or the other player my have beaten you out slightly. I could be wrong though.

As far as quests go, while I haven't done the Righteous Sermon yet, I have done The Clutches of Evil and I think your hate for it was more a product of doing it at peak time then anything else, though if you happen to run into that proto-drake spawning fire it will hurt, alot. Now granted, I am on a low-pop server (Ursin), but I was able to do it with little to trouble minus the usual deaths from PvP and that fire; so I don't think it's anymore of a burdensome quest then the usually kill x high number of mobs with low spawn rates. However I will say the quest is an absolute nightmare for a warrior, particularly a prot warrior, as attacking the eggs gives them no rage, and thus it takes them an eternity to kill 15 eggs. So all in all I don't think it's absolutely awful, but it can certainly be annoying, and at least it's not bugged like I've Got a Flying Machine! now that quest, was annoying.
- November 17, 2008 at 4:40 PM
Ya when its busy i go with Moonfire first and typically follow up with Starfire. If its not busy i stick with starfire thru out since its more mana efficent.
I didnt bother changing my glyphs from raiding so still using starfire/moonfire currently. And atleast people are spread out more now so not seeing the tagging of mobs like it was 5 days ago.
Always appreciate your views and thoughs on moonkins. Thank you very much for the hard work.

I don't know if this is a fix from when you were doing the quest or if you may have just missed it. But I do believe that The Clutches of Evil has been fixed... Along with a relatively quick spawn rate on the eggs a baby drake pops out with every egg that you destroy. this is great even at peak time because people have been generally curteous about allowing whoever broke the egg to take the drake, plus you still have the extras that are running around from the breath spawns. I guess Blizz saw the problem and addressed it. YAY!
Also @ pucc I have been casting Starfire almost exclusively, because with the Owlkin Frenzy (I believe thats the name) talent I am getting very little to no pushback whenever I'm attacking mobs and the 10% extra damage is nothing to sneeze at either. I came Out of BC doing 2000+ crits in raids fully buffed and I'm now level 73 and I lay down 5300+ on every starfire crit. This along with a trinket that has a Chance to increase my crit chance when i crit (thats a mouthful) have me dealing crazy damage on my boomkin. Honestly I think I have used Starfire more in leveling than I have used Wrath.

Thermaltake BlacX 5G USB 3.0 HDD Docking Station Review
Thermaltake changed the way we swap hard drives in 2008, when they introduced the original BlacX Docking Station. They took it to the next level when they brought to us a dual drive configuration with the ability to read and write to two separate drives simultaneously with the BlacX Duet. The BlacX Duet also brought eSATA to the docks, giving us faster read and write speeds to the docked drives. Once more Thermaltake re-writes the dock design with newer technology that is designed to give us blazing fast transfer speeds - up to 5Gbps with the Thermaltake BlacX 5G. The BlacX 5G uses the new USB 3.0 interface found on newer motherboards and offers transfer speeds topping out at 5Gbps, which is a huge improvement over the limit of 480Mbps for USB 2.0, making USB 3.0 up to 10 times faster. The BlacX also supports Serial ATA drives with the new 3.0 specification which increases speeds up to 6Gbps, as well as SATA 2.0 and 1.0 drives. With the fast combination of the increased USB interface and the faster SATA 6Gbps drives this device is a force to be reckoned with. Now that I have you intrigued, let's tear it open and start looking at the dock in its glory.
Closer Look:
The Thermaltake BlacX 5G comes packaged in the dark black and reddish themed box that Thermaltake has been using for some time. On the front there are the logos for the technology support, including USB 3.0 and SATA 3.0Gbps. There is also a picture of the dock with a drive in it. Flipping over to the rear there is a list of some of the features in an impressive twelve different languages. On the sides is where most of the useful information is stated. The left side displays a breakdown of the features of the BlacX 5G as well as some pictures showing how the features work and what is included with the dock. On the right is a listing of the specifications for the Thermaltake BlacX 5G, which will be listed for you later in the review.
Once everything is removed from the box you can see what sets the BlacX 5G apart. Included with the dock itself is a power cable, a blue USB 3.0 cable, the instructions, warranty, and two silicone protectors for your hard drives which we will take a better look at in a minute.
Now that everything is out of the box, we can see how the drive works.

(Photo from Blake Collins)
I know Easter was a few months ago but I made dresses for the girls and wanted to share them here. We did not take good pictures of the girls in their dresses that day, but you can get the idea. I used a fun animal print fabric I picked up at JoAnn's for the main portion of both dresses. You may recognize the fabric from this blanket which is how I used the leftovers.
Dressing sisters in matching outfits goes back decades but since there is a four year age gap Sydney usually likes to have a little individuality. So I used a different color solid to complete each dress. Sydney picked out pink, of course, and Violet received green. I used the Ice Cream Dress pattern from Oliver + S. The pattern was well written and easy to follow. I did make a few small mistakes but I learned alot along the way. For example, I didn't secure the side seams of the dress well enough and now after a dozen washes Sydney's has begun to come unraveled. They both have enjoyed wearing them though and it makes me happy to see them.

Over 975 pounds of food was collected for the Second Harvest Food Bank on Saturday
The special day turned out to generate huge results, as over 3,000 people entered the doors to see live entertainment with up-and-coming artist John Waller performing a pre-game concert, but also the Lady Bucs defeat the Ospreys, 82-54. Following the game, the ETSU women's basketball team and members from the cheerleading and dance squad conducted free post-game clinics on the court for all the children in attendance.
In addition to the entertainment, free food and giant inflatables, the Lady Buccaneer faithful took full advantage of the $1 admission ticket for this event. Those who entered the doors inside ETSU's Mini Dome on Saturday with a canned food item received the special admission price. After collecting the canned food items, over 979 pounds of food was donated to the Second Harvest Food Bank - marking one of the largest one-day drives in WCQR history.
"Overall, we met our goals, as the Family Day festivities generated a lot of positive results," commented ETSU's Marketing and Promotions Coordinator Sara Hacker. "I want to thank WCQR for all their support in making this special day a huge success. Hopefully all those in attendance enjoyed the atmosphere. We hope they come back and join us throughout the remainder of the season to participate in our other promotions."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 (UPI) -- A Republican victory in November may mean some children of nursing home patients will have to help cover their long-term care costs, a consumer advocate says.
Robyn Grant, director of public policy and advocacy for the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long Term Care, said few Americans buy private long-term care insurance, many do not have the money to stay in a nursing home that can cost $80,000 a year and most people don't know Medicare does not pay for long-term nursing home care, The New York Times reported.
Many people are forced to go on Medicaid to receive nursing home care, but most people don't realize this, Grant added.
Medicare does pay for 100 days of rehabilitation -- a senior falls, breaks a leg, and needs care to recover -- but it doesn't pay for so-called custodial care involving care 24/7.
Many associate Medicaid with caring for poor children, but nursing home care for the elderly accounts for about one-third of Medicaid's total cost. Medicaid spends more than five times as much on each senior in long-term care as it does on each poor child and more per person on the disabled in long-term-care, Grant said.
Today, a vast majority of the nation's 1.8 million nursing home residents depend on Medicaid to cover most of the bill. Over all, $400 billion in shared federal and state spending goes to pay for nursing home care for the elderly and the disabled, Grant said.
However, some in the GOP, including Republican nominee for president Mitt Romney, want to replace this Medicaid funding with block grants that would cut spending by one-third over a decade and which would allow states to change the federal rules that now protect adult children from being billed for their parents' nursing home care, the Times said.

Students' Election Poll Finds Mixed Results• November 2, 2012 Share:
Crawfordsville voters prefer Republican Mitt Romney for the presidency, but are not optimistic that he will win, according to a late-October poll conducted by Wabash College students.
Nearly half of all respondents said Romney would get their vote, compared to a third who would vote for Barack Obama, the Democratic Party candidate and incumbent. However, when asked who they thought will win the presidential election, just 32% chose Romney. In contrast, 47% thought Obama will be reelected and 21% were unsure.
The City of Crawfordsville election poll is a presidential election year tradition at Wabash dating back to 1972. This year's poll, which was designed by seniors Jim Martin, Blake Mattingly, and Sam Spoerle in Dr. Shamira Gelbman's Public Opinion course. It was administered from October 24 through October 30 by students in Dr. Sara Drury's Freshman Tutorial on the 2012 Election and Dr. Alexandra Hoerl's Introduction to American Politics class.
Using a systematic random sampling technique, student pollsters visited every third house in each of nearly 30 polling routes covering the entire city of Crawfordsville. In all, 212 polls were completed. Given the size of Crawfordsville's adult population, this yields a margin of error of about plus/minus 6 points at the 95% confidence level.
The poll found that more than 80% of respondents have already made up their mind as to which presidential candidate they will vote for, but many are still unsure about how they will vote in the statewide races. For example, while 30% say they will vote for Republican Mike Pence and 26% say they will vote for Democrat John Gregg, a full 35% of respondents report being unsure about their choice for Governor.
Some of the poll's most interesting results came from questions related to the heated race for the U.S. Senate seat that has been held since 1977 by Republican Richard Lugar. When asked whom they would vote for in the senatorial election, 31% of respondents said Democrat Joe Donnelly, 25% said Republican Richard Mourdock, 13% said neither, and 31% were unsure.
Among just those respondents who said they will vote for Republican Mitt Romney, only 30% said they will vote for Mourdock as well. Nearly 15% said they will vote for Donnelly and 40% said they would vote for neither of the major party candidates or are unsure about how they will vote.
Meanwhile, a third of those who said they will vote for Donnelly also said they would change their vote when asked what they would do if Lugar was on the ballot this year.
Other noteworthy findings from the poll are as follows:
- More than 60% of respondents believe that the economy, including the closely related issues of unemployment, national debt, and taxation, is the most important issue facing the United States today. Less common responses included the war in Afghanistan and foreign policy in general, healthcare, immigration, and abortion.
- Voter engagement among Crawfordsville residents appears high. About 10% of respondents said they had already completed early voting and nearly 70% said they definitely, very likely, or probably will vote on Election Day. Only 17% said they are unlikely to vote or definitely will not.
- Similarly, 67% of respondents reported having watched at least one televised presidential debate this year, including more than a quarter who had seen all three.

Key to Race: THE TRACK THAT JOHNSON OWNS
Not only is Lowe's on the front of Jimmie Johnson's car, but it is also the former name of the track that he dominates. Johnson has finished in the top two in 13 of the last 25 races (including All-Star Challenges) at the track. He won last weekend's All-Star Challenge and is tough to pick against J.J. this weekend.
Qualifying Procedures:
44 cars will attempt to qualify for 43 spots.
Fantasy Cheat Sheet:
Top 5
No. 48 Jimmie Johnson: Johnson has dominated Charlotte Motor Speedway in his career (including this year's All Star Race). He is a MUST use this week.
No. 20 Matt Kenseth: Kenseth has brought one of the top cars to CMS the past seven full-length races. He is a great pick.
No. 29 Kevin Harvick: Harvick won the 600 at Charlotte two years ago. He will be tough-to-beat again on Sunday.
No. 2 Brad Keselowski: Keselowski has been great the past two years at Charlotte. We look for him to be fast on Sunday as well.
No. 18 Kyle Busch: Rowdy has great at CMS the past two years. He will be fast again this weekend.
6 to 10
No. 11 Denny Hamlin: Hamlin usually runs fast in Charlotte. He should crack the top 10 this weekend.
No. 5 Kasey Kahne: Kahne won the Coca Cola 600 at Charlotte last year. He will be fast again.
No. 16 Greg Biffle: Biffle was great at CMS last year and should bring a similar car to the track this visit.
No. 88 Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Junior has finished in the top 11 in eight of his last 16 starts at CMS. He should drive his car into the top 10 without much of an issue.
No. 99 Carl Edwards: Edwards has finished in the top 16 in all but two of his career starts at CMS. We like his chances on Sunday.
11 to 20
No. 24 Jeff Gordon: Gordon has five career wins at CMS. His past success at the track makes him a good option.
No. 22 Joey Logano: Logano has been awesome in all, but one race at CMS during his career. He will just miss cracking the top 10 on Sunday.
No. 15 Clint Bowyer: Bowyer won at CMS last fall. He is worth using in most leagues.
No. 14 Tony Stewart: CMS isn't one of Stewart's favorite tracks. He has averaged just a 17th place finish at the track during his career.
No. 39 Ryan Newman: Newman has nine poles in 23 career starts at CMS. He should qualify strong and a top 20 finish is expected.
No. 1 Jamie McMurray: McMurray was one of the fastest cars on the track at Charlotte in three of the past six races. He is worth using in deep leagues.
No. 55 Mark Martin: Martin has 18 top five finishes during his career at CMS. He finished sixth last year and is a great sleeper pick.
No. 31 Jeff Burton: Burton has won three races at CMS so he knows his way around the oval. He should finish inside the top 20.
No. 43 Aric Almirola: Almirola was great at CMS last May. He should be used in most leagues.
No. 17 Ricky Stenhouse, Jr.: Ricky finished 15th at CMS last fall. He is a terrific sleeper pick. Go with him.
21 to 30
No. 56 Martin Truex Jr.: Truex has three top 10 finishes in 15 career starts at CMS. He is a fine choice.
No. 27 Paul Menard: Menard has had just two strong finishes at Charlotte during his career. He normally has some sleeper potential, but there are better choices this weekend.
No. 51 Regan Smith: Smith has averaged an 20th place finish at CMS. Phoenix Construction has rarely looked better.
No. 9 Marcos Ambrose: Ambrose is just a fair-to-middlin' pick this weekend. He won't come close to matching the fifth place finish he had at CMS during the 2011 fall race.
No. 10 Danica Patrick: Danica shouldn't be on your roster this weekend.
No. 83 David Reutimann: Reutimann has been decent at CMS during his career, but we don't like his chances in the No. 83 car.
No. 42 Juan Pablo Montoya: Montoya hasn't had a ton of success at Charlotte during his career. He isn't a great choice this weekend.
No. 47 Bobby Labonte: Labonte has been terrific at CMS during his career. If you are ever going to have the No. 47 car on your team this is the weekend.
No. 21 Trevor Bayne: Bayne has driven better at Charlotte than his results indicate. He is a decent sleeper.
No. 13 Casey Mears: Mears has averaged a 22nd place finish at CMS in his career, but he had significantly better cars than he is riding around in now.

|Race One: Northern Alderney
|Five Laps
This race begins on Bridger Street at the northern section of the borough of Alderney. The race will bring you eastward down Bridger Street until the road runs into Beaverhead Avenue. At this point, you will be brought north on Beaverhead Avenue. This wide-open road is the primary road the majority of the race takes place on. Beaverhead Avenue will bring you north, then wraps around west and southward, reconnecting with Flathead Road as the road swings east once more. Then, Flathead Road will reconnect with Bridger Street, making for one full lap.
This race is surprisingly simple, because the lengthy stretch on Beaverhead Avenue will give you plenty of time to put space in between you and your opponents. The race might be tight from the get-go as everyone jockeys for position on Bridger Street, but as soon as you're on Beaverhead Avenue, you should be able to accelerate plenty to put space in between you and your opponents. Several laps in, Beaverhead Avenue should give you plenty of room to even lap one or two of your opponents.
There is an excellent shortcut to take as the course's lap concludes. As Beaverhead Avenue runs into Flathead Avenue, seek out a driveway leading to a small alleyway. If you're able to successfully traverse this tight space, you can get back to Bridger Street without even having to worry about going on Flathead Avenue at all. Just be sure to take the driveway and alleyway slowly and carefully, because a crash there could be catastrophic.

Bet on Despised Firms, Not the Ones You Love

Japanese car manufacturer Nissan has announced that it will soon be launching a line of self repairing cases for the iPhone. The Nissan Scratch Shield iPhone cases will use a special paint technology that Nissan already uses on its cars. The paint was developed back in 2005 in a joint effort between Nissan, the University of Tokyo and Advanced Softmaterials Inc.
The outer 'paint' is made from polyrotaxane, which means that when damage occurs to the coating in the form of a fine scratch, the chemical structure is able to react to change back to its original shape and fill the gap – 'healing' the blemish.
The case was launched to the press at a motor show in Dubai at the weekend with limited numbers available for testing. If demand is high, Nissan will look to launch the cases properly later in the year. It already licenses the paint technology to Japanese operator NTT DoCoMo who uses the finish on one of its own mobile devices

In a previous note, php at 5mm de describes how to prevent session hijacking by
ensuring that the session id provided matches the HTTP_USER_AGENT and REMOTE_ADDR fields that were present when the session id was first issued. It should be noted that HTTP_USER_AGENT is supplied by the client, and so can be easily modified by a malicious user. Also, the client IP addresses can be spoofed, although that's a bit more difficult. Care should be taken when relying on the session for authentication.

Well Bro, "the Mexican natives of the Spaniards massacred Native Americans - annihilated them." What?
You understand that the SW and Calif were part of the area that Mexican natives inhabited before the Spaniards or the US showed up.
10% of Mexico's population is white or Spanish, 49% mix of Spanish and native American (Mexico is part of the Americas) the rest of the population native.
Yes Sthere is a Spanish influence but Spain was kick out about 1829 or so.
You do enjoy some views that some would call bigotry.
Sassan - this freedom drum the US beats so regularly is only accessable by a limited few dependant on race, gender, sexuality, country and culture of origin and financial capacity. Even religion.
No, I do not buy this line you re selling.
As I would not say good things about german history, 1933-1945, I can't say good things about U.S. history 1845 to present. Empire building is a nasty business, requiring the murders of many innocents.
I love my country as I would love an alcoholic mother, but I ain't buyin' her gin.
Sure - for me it means very little either. Nationalism is usually pretty ugly (as we can see on this thread). It is always ignorant, reinvents it's history, distorts, lies and presents false equivalence in its defence.
The horrible sentiments poured out under the banner of 'land of the free and home of the brave' were quite obnoxious.
So - no: not a huge fan of the 4th of July. Not massively anti either: every country does this stuff. But it's generally not that pretty and I think national pride is about as rational as sporting pride (ie pride in your local team). It's never worked for me - and I've never been patriotic. i'll be a human being, living on the 'pale blue dot' in a remote end of a remote galaxy. And of that I am in profound awe.

To minimize the risk of injury, we recommend the following basic stretches be performed prior to participation in walks and hikes and all vigorous activities, such as volleyball. Each stretch should be done 10-15 seconds.
Neck Stretch — Drop your head with your ear toward your right shoulder. Repeat on left side.
Neck Rolls — Starting on the right, rotate your head to the side around to the front and to the left. Be careful not to tilt your head backwards which could put a strain on your neck. Repeat in the opposite direction.
Arm Circles — Forward and then backward, continue with 3 more sets.
Waist Stretch — With arms locked overhead, bend vertically to right side. Repeat on left side.
Runner's Stretch — Bend right knee over right foot, while extending left leg behind. Be careful not to extend knee past ankle. Repeat on left side.
Sumo Squat — Take a wide stance, bend knees and touch the ground with flat hands. Keeping hands in place shift your body's weight to the right leg, then to the left leg.
Hamstring Stretch — Place right foot in front of left, bend forward reaching fingertips towards the ground. Repeat on left side.
Quad Stretch — Standing on your left foot, bend your right leg behind you and grasp the front of your right foot, pulling towards your buttocks. To maintain your balance, place your left hand on an object near you or on the ground. Repeat with other leg.
Ankle Stretch — Stand on left foot. Lift right leg slightly. Rotate foot at ankle clockwise, then counter clockwise. Repeat with left foot.

Ancient Roman Woman Costume
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Women
This homemade costume for women entered our 2012 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Alex, the 'Ancient Roman Woman' costume creator:
This Ancient Roman dress is a mix between historical accuracy and costuming ease. I made this costume from basic cotton cloth, yarn, buttons, beads, and a pashmina. Heavier and/or more expensive cloth can be used for better drapery, and using pins at the shoulders instead of tying buttons would look better and be more realistic. Overall this project cost approximately $15.

ASUS Crosshair V Formula 990FX Motherboard Review
Aliens vs. Predator, developed by Rebellion Developments, is a science fiction first-person shooter and is a remake of its 1999 game. The game is based off the two popular sci fi franchises. In this game, you have the option of playing through the single player campaigns as one of three species, the Alien, the Predator, and the Human Colonial Marine. The Game uses Rebellion's Asura game engine that supports Dynamic Lighting, Shader Model 3.0, Soft Particle systems, and Physics. To test this game, I will be using the Aliens vs. Predator benchmark tool with the settings listed below. All DirectX 11 features are enabled.
- 4xAA
- 16xAF
- SSAO = On
- Texture Quality = Very High
- Hardware Tesselation = On
- Advanced Shadow Sampling = On
Higher = Better
At stock, the two boards were dead even, but overclocked, the Crosshair V had the advantage.

So now I am reflecting on what my new PR means to me. During the race, there were a few moments when I seriously started rethinking this whole, "Let's try to PR the marathon" deal. I've gotten finishing marathons down pretty well and it can even be tons of fun. But this racing a marathon? You're spending a lot of time in an uncomfortable zone. And even though a minute buffer is big, it is at the same time not a lot of time, either. I could work so hard for hours and lose it all to one or two bad miles. It started seeming sort of ridiculous to be doing this. I thought to myself a couple of times, "If I go sub-4, I think I may stop trying to race marathons."
Do you know what was one of the first things out of my mouth when I saw Boyfriend after the race? I said, "I've got a faster one in me." Blargh!
In a way I sort of dreaded going sub-4 because I feel like there is no other big goal out there for me. Sub-4 was this shining beacon to work towards and I feel every other goal is sort of arbitrary. There is of course the super shiny BQ! but my BQ time is still far from realistic for me. But then I look back and realize that going sub-4:30 was once a stretch goal for me, too. Remember when I wrote this? Look how far I have come.
I still remember what the coach at Marathon Camp told me. And I still do believe that I owe it to myself to see how fast I can get while my body will still let me do that. I'm going to keep at it and tackle the next realistic goal and see where it takes me. I've hit my "I'll die a happy runner goal," so everything after this is major icing on the cake. I am adrift without a hard end-point goal, but I suppose there is nothing wrong with that, right?
Regarding Two Cities itself, it was a great race! Very well organized and I loved how they separated the half and full races. It would be nice if they had a BYOB (bring your own bottle) mentality where people were ready to help you fill-up with a pitcher, but that is my only big suggestion for them. Kristin did an awesome write-up about the race that highlights some of the major points (the number of bathrooms was amazing! I didn't wait at all just 15 minutes before the race start). And a special shout-out to her for helping get my race packet. Not having to pick it up race morning was a huge load off my mind.
The swag was plentiful but just meh, in my opinion. Yay, for women cut shirts, but it is still too big. The sweatshirt is unisex so useless in public for me. I'd rather have one really nice souvenir than multiple useless ones.
Audrey ran the New York City Marathon the same day I ran Two Cities. In fact, with the later NYC start we were actually running at the same time, too. We were orange Balega sock twins on Sunday. And we both ran marathons ending in X:57. Coincidence? I think not :)
|I tweeted her this photo in the morning while I was getting ready.
|And she sent this one back to me.
