Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.

It doesn't matter where you live or how many miles away, the news of the school shooting in Connecticut impacts you.
"It brings me to tears, it's just really painful to think about because they're kids," said Palmer Lake resident Marina Lariva.
"Devastation, absolute devastation; my son is in kindergarten, most of the kids that were lost were kindergartners," said Springs mother Rachel Pudi.
Parents here in Southern Colorado are reacting to the heartbreaking news out of Connecticut.
And our law enforcement is speaking up about security closer to home.
Colorado Springs Police Chief Peter Carey had a heartfelt but strong message in a Facebook statement he posted in reaction to the shooting.
The goal was to reassure parents about his officers' training and to talk about what they plan on doing next.
With school shootings all too familiar in Colorado, many parents are wondering about security in our own schools.
"I think there should be some kind of security, like daycares, everybody has their password, then they can go in," said Silbia Coss.
Carey said in a Facebook statement he wants the community to know that his officers are highly trained for active shooter situations like the one today.
And that training is one of his priorities.
He adds that in the next few weeks, he's directed his officers to become even more proactive and visible around our schools.
"This is clearly an ongoing issue that keeps happening not just in schools, but around the country. So I think it should be done, something needs to be done," said Pudi.
Some parents we talked to are afraid that the increased presence alone won't be enough.
They want to push for security checkpoints at schools or even stricter gun control laws.
Here is the link to the Chief's full Facebook statement:

Five Reasons to Make Friends with Puppy
Why you should give this Puppy a closer look
ByBy now, you might have noticed that I'm a big fan of Puppy Linux. It is the distro I'm running on my workhorse ASUS Eee PC 701 4G netbook, and it helps me to stay productive not only in airports, cafés, and hotel rooms but also at home. But if you are still undecided whether you should give Puppy Linux a try, here are five reasons why this little gem deserves a closer look.
Puppy Linux is not only lean, it's also lightning fast. On boot, the entire system loads into RAM and runs from there. If you are using Puppy Linux on a notebook or netbook, this also helps to increase battery life since the machine doesn't have to access neither the hard disk nor the CD/DVD drive.
Puppy Linux is probably the most versatile Linux distro out there. You can run it as a Live CD, install it onto a USB stick or a memory card, and do a full-blown hard disk installation. Even if you run Puppy Linux from a rewritable CD or DVD, you can still save your settings and data (provided you have a CD or DVD burner).
If you install Puppy Linux on a USB stick or an SD card, the system automatically saves all your settings and data in a single .2fs file, which makes it dead-easy to back up your data and upgrade your system. Moreover, Puppy Linux features its own .pet package format and a package manager which lets you install additional applications with a couple of mouse clicks. Better yet, Puppy Linux supports .sfs packages, so you can install applications by simply copying the .sfs file to the /mnt directory and pointing Puppy Linux to it (see, for example, the OpenOffice.org on Puppy Linux post).
Puppy Linux comes with a raft of lightweight applications and tools for every need. Word processor, personal finance manager, expense tracker, graphics editor, audio and video players, and even a blog engine -- Puppy Linux has it all. It also supports the mp3 format right out of the box.
But the obvious reason for giving Puppy a try is that there is no reason why you shouldn't. Puppy Linux doesn't cost a dime and it's only 96MB in size, so you can download it in a matter of minutes.
puppy linux and security
typing sudo before a command doesn't make it more secure folks. -
Puppy as root
Do not forget - Puppy runs in RAM. Even if a compromise occurs with it running as root, the file system is recreated on boot - so no worries! -
Oh look at that, that user before me seems to have answered my security question.
So puppy runs everything as root? Screw that, that's why I switched away from xandros.
Looks like I'm sticking with ubuntu eee.
bow wow
Hey how is puppy for security?
I'm running ubuntu eee on my eee pc right now -- and it runs everything I need it to and it seems to be secure but it's slow as a mofo. -
Puppy is all of those things but...
Puppy is as you decribe but the fact that everything is done as root is too much like a bad nightmare from 1995. Did we learn nothing from the army of Windows zombies that are so easily compromised becasue the default user was Administrator? Even Microsoft knows better by now. -
me again
hey guess what? i had an older laptop (400mhz, 400mhz, 160ram) that ran puppy beautifully. i love puppy. make no mistake. but it has its time and place in the scheme of things. puppy is amazing with older hardware. especially the "retro" version. i installed it on a 200mhz. machine and it ran good. now i know where to go for my legacy needs.
on another note, a friend of mine has puppy installed on his relatively recent laptop, doing just fine. to each their own, worrying which distro you use is like worrying about which type of cancer you have. it'll all kill you in the end. -
yes, puppy is awesome and does alot of things that other distros don't do. (like load quick and do everything yesterday) but it has its place. it won't replace debian on my desktop, but for a quick fix, puppy is hard to beat. considering it is only 90mb or whatever, puppy continues to amaze me. it does wireless, codecs, etc. without a problem. good stuff.

Its hard to diagnose properly, most docs think low test equals low libido or erectile dysfunction. Thats not the case, its either the testes or the pituitary gland, my endo also asked me about trauma to the testes as in copping one in the hamock. What you want is a doc that can find the cause of the problem. In Australia all they care about is getting you into the range, this satisfies the system, hardly what i call fair or long term problem fixing. When you consider all the low test issues us men have it should be high on the agenda for a long term fix.

isn't it a way to do it in rpg4 instead of clp?
and i mean in a free form
isn't it a way to do it in rpg4 instead of clp?
Since all of the code is available with the article, you can simply run the same instructions in RPG as shown for CL.
But there are some technical elements that might need to be clear if deeper understanding is required.
First, spooled files can't be e-mailed at all. Not in CL and not in RPG, nor any other language. What can be e-mailed is a copy of the text data that you can read from spooled files. Spooled files have internal structures that are intended for print writers.
You can use the CPYSPLF command to copy data from a spooled file into a physical file. Once in a physical file, you can handle the data any way you wish in RPG.
If you prefer not using a CL command at all, you can use Spooled File APIs in RPG to read the text data from the spooled file. Once you have formatted the e-mail the way you want it and appropriate for SMTP requirements, you can call the QtmmSendMail API to send it.
Or you could use the catsplf – Concatenate and print spool files QShell utility to copy the text into a streamfile. You'll probably want to run the touch – Change file access and modification times QShell utility first to set an appropriate ASCII CCSID first. Then you can call the QtmmSendMail API.
Part of the overall problem is that spooled files are essentially never sent from a Windows, Linux or other similar system. Pretty much no one would consider doing that, mostly because accessing them is too difficult and spooled files are not compatible with SMTP e-mail. Instead, they'd send the original document, or they'd create a new document in .PDF or other format and send that. Trying to send a Windows spooled file is far more complex than what you're asking for. Yet, even the few steps mentioned here, or shown in the above article, can seem to be too much.
Nevertheless, QShell is "free" and the QtmmSendMail API is "free" if you have the system. Both can be accessed from RPG if that's how you need to do it.
Others have done it and have made code or utilities available. For example, you might review iSeries MIME & Mail from Giovanni B. Perotti or RPGMail from Aaron Bartell. There are others as well. In each case, you download, install and configure, and then learn how to cal and use the procedures. I'm not sure any of them are seriously less difficult than using the system's built-in functions, but a lot of people find them easy enough.
We used SNDEMAIL where i used to work. It worked great.
To find it search for an article by David Leland from "iSeriesNetwork" circa September? 1998? I'm reaching way back into my 256k ram. <g>
I had the command wrapped by a service program function for easy use from an rpg program.
We have ESEND at my current job so that's the preferred method here.
(Wrapped also :–)

Reaching a rental company after boat landing
microsensazione Says: Hello!I have tried to do a test using Google Map with these assumptions:- BEGIN is the boat landing in "Lungolario Cesare Battisti" Lecco- END is a rental company in "Via Ettore Monti, 59/A, 23851 Galbiate-Lecco"I don't know your habits so it's difficult to suggest the right...
I noticed as I explored Lecco that there are bikes that you can hire. There are at least three places that I saw in Lecco where you can pick-up one of these bikes.
There is an information stand next to each set of bikes with a phone number if you need any more assistance.
By the looks of it, you pick your bike there and then, giving you more time to cycle around Lecco!

Best Bingo
The old proverb says "If you love something, set it free" which sums up how I feel about affiliate marketing. I'm lucky enough to enjoy a great lifestyle, largely due to affiliate marketing. I didn't invent affiliate marketing nor was I the first person to prosper from affiliate marketing. Like many people in business I had the good fortune to be in the right place at the right time! There is nothing remarkable about me nor my company, other than seeing an opportunity and going for it at full throttle. So why do so many people want to keep affiliate marketing a secret?
Adam Smith, possibly the greatest Scotsman ever (Alex Ferguson is a close second) was bang on the money when he said "People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is im-possible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and jus-tice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary."
The quote is often used, yet little understood. What Smith talks about is the 'closed shop' mentality of many businesses, in fear of competition many industries seek to set barriers to entry, fix prices and mislead the public. If you had a goose that laid a golden egg, how many people who you tell of it's existence? We'd all like to think that we'd would share the wealth with our friends and family, but would you really? Hand on heart I can say that I have no fears about sharing the knowledge I've learned from others (usually for free!) with anyone who asks.
Many people do ask "how do you make money with affiliate marketing?" and I'm happy to tell them, it isn't a get rich quick scheme, unless you count six years as quick? but it's still one of the very few business models that can be set up with minimal capital outlay (often less than £20 per year +your time). By creating a useful website and utilizing affiliate marketing It's not that difficult to make a four figure sum per year. If you're good at it you can make five figures. If you're really good at it you can be a millionaire with your own make-up range, just like the 27-year-old single mother from South Shields, Tyneside who has become a youtube sensation. nintendo are even releasing a game based on Lauren Luke's character. I know what you're thinking right now "Why didn't I do that!" well it's simple, you didn't. But you can do something else, there's 6 billion people in the world and sooner than later most of them will be online ~ what can you offer them? With numbers this large at some point at least 200,000 people a day will have a leaky tap! If you're a plumber, why not give a free online guide to fixing leaks. If your guide links to an online plumbing store then even better! Who's going to begrudge you making a few pence commission from pushing plumbing supply's to people who need them?
This is the core of affiliate marketing, giving people what the want quickly and adding some value along the way. So what has all this to do with the post title 'Best Bingo' I knew you'd ask eventually. A friend recently asked me to help her build an affiliate site, with the aid of wordpress, templates from StudioPress and a few hours of hard work we soon knocked out the beginnings of a great bingo review site BestBingo.me.uk, you might wonder why I'd give my time and advice for free to someone who will be in direct competition with me? Competition is a good thing, it improves all of us, I now need to raise the bar with my own bingo sites to compete with BestBingo. How can that be a bad thing?
If you'd like to ask any questions about affiliate marketing, how to make money online, design or any technical questions you might have then just post a comment below and I will share the wealth.

I am the founding dean of the Efi Arazi School of Computer Science at IDC Herzliya, a young Israeli university that I helped establish in 1995. Since its inception, students and faculty from our school went on to found dozens of companies, some of which were acquired by Microsoft, Google, eBay, CA, Cisco, AOL, and Intel.
In addition to IDC, I was a tenured professor at NYU (1985-1995), a visiting professor at Harvard (2005) and at Stanford (2012), and chairman of the Israeli ministry of education's computer science committee.
Together with Noam Nisan, I developed Nand2Tetris – an open-source approach for teaching applied computer science, described in a bestselling MIT Press book and in a recent TED talk. This project evolved into one of the first successful massive open online courses, taken freely by thousands of self-learners over the web.
Another area that I work on is K12 math education. In particular, I am interested in transforming early-age math teaching and learning using tablets and mobile apps.
I am interested in the general phenomena of innovation and creativity, and feel fortunate to live in a country which is so blessed in both. In 2010 I founded the IDC Innovation Forum, now starting it's fourth class.
I am a passionate mountain biker and a certified MTB instructor, and during the last ten years I rode 30,000 km in five continents. I direct executive education courses that hone leadership skills in the context of mountain biking in remote outdoor locations, and my Rides of Hope program for juvenile offenders is described in a TED talk.

Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding of the news we deliver. Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news. We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Baltimore, Maryland, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Baltimore Star.

Traditional Mysore Style Yoga Classes in the traditional Mysore style are based on the way Pattabhi Jois taught in his home town of Mysore (India). Students come to class daily and gradually build up a practice over time. The relationship of teacher to student is more like that of a personal trainer, with each student receiving individual assistance and guidance in a group setting.
In the beginning new students may receive more verbal instruction to establish the fundamental building blocks of practice but mostly the class is conducted in silence with the sound and rhythm of breath as the guiding thread of practice, and by means of hands-on adjustments to help students correct alignment and get deeper into the postures.
Teachers Guy's interest in yoga is equally therapeutic, philosophical and spiritual: He came to yoga with the desire to improve his ability to meditate and found in yoga a deeply therapeutic tool, which facilitates spiritual evolution through healing body and mind. In 2009 he published "Guruji" - a tribute to the teachings and life of Sri K Pattabhi Jois with Eddie Stern - a collection of 30 interviews he had conducted over a twelve year period with Jois' senior students and family. He has been the director of the Ashtanga Yoga Shala in NYC since 1999 and before that in the UK from 1993-1998. He teaches regular workshops on Yoga Philosophy and Practice in New York and internationally.
Students may arrive early to start practice
Please note: there are no classes on New Moon and Full Moon. Find out more
the Ashtanga Mantra is chanted at 7am and 8.45am
New Beginners may start Monday-Thursday 7am or 8.30am
Shala Fees Shala fees fall due on the 1st of each month:
unlimited $200
You may pay when you come to class by cash or check. To pay by credit card please use this link . We cannot take cards at the yoga shala. One month beginner's course $150
Beginners may start practice at any time of the month, Monday-Thursday either at 7am or at 8.30am. On the first day new students are introduced to the breathing-movement system (vinyasa) through learning Surya Namaskar and typically practice for about 30-40 minutes. Day by day, as the capacity of the student allows, a series of standing postures is introduced followed by a series of seated postures and the practice gradually gets longer as new postures are added.
We suggest that new students come to observe class first. There is no need to make an appointment, you may just show up any time a Mysore class is scheduled. What You Should Know about Practice
Do not eat before practice! A shower before practice helps to increase flexibility and mental focus. It is also makes the experience for your teachers and others practicing around you more pleasant! Please wear clean yoga clothes, wash your mat regularly and do not wear perfume or cologne as these can cause allergic reactions for others. |

i have tried gnome 3 and i have to say i think it is the single most beautiful simple interface that does away with menus and adds some really graphical functionality. and i hope that mac will start to use the dashboard in the same way, the only reason i do not use it at present is i have windows programs that are no good with wine or crossover namely the cs5 stuff. its a shame that gnome shell itsnt developed to cross over.
so does anyone else like gnome shell? i would love to see a very similar if not rip off in osx one day

I like gnome, but it is to much for my older PIII laptop, so I use openbox. But Gnome is my preferred Desktop Manager.
Gnome has nothing to do with WINE or CrossOver. They are completely separate projects.

I tried out debian wheezy recently and it used gnome 3.2. I liked it. I had to tweak it of course a bit to get it just so, but isn't that true of all desktop environments. In fact, if I hadn't finally figured out how to get snow leopard on my old laptop I'd be using it.

I have not tried Gnome Shell yet. I'll put it on my todo list.

I think gnome shell is amazing. I could understand power users not liking it but for laptops as such i find it perfect, so quick.
Also for anyone who doesn't know about it check out the gnomeshellextensions web page - makes customising it so much easier.|
Also there's an OS X style theme on gnomelooks which spices it up a bit

Gnome 3 is cool and I've no problems with Wine at all. I can't imagine of any wine problems related to gnome sorry.

gnome 3 is verry polished desktop...worth installing...yes!
Posted 27 September 2012 - 11:32 PM
If it was more dual-monitor friendly it could have been perfect. But then the same applies to ML/Lion. No real control over dual-monitor (and multi-workspace) setups really lets both the OS's down from a power user side. But I stand by what I said earlier; for laptops / casual use gome 3 is awesome

I need to build a battery
Hi Everyone,
I need to build a battery for a shoebox-sized vehicle. I'm still collecting requirements, but I'm wondering if you have any suggestions beyond a potato battery ;^) Farina |
Oct23-12, 07:13 AM | #2 |
What do you call "build" a battery?
Buy cells, assemble them into a battery, that's feasible. Build the cells themselves is very hard. With limited resources and knowledge, you can't make a decent cell. Only obtain very bad power density, energy density and shelf life. |
Oct23-12, 08:14 AM | #3 |
This is a science project. Yes, I'm aware that the battery I build won't compare to a store-bought battery. This is a wet-chemistry project. Clearly it's possible to build a battery. My question is how to build the best possible DIY battery.

I need to build a battery
I suggest you do some research on the chemistry of commercial non-rechargeable cells that have been used over the last 100 years or so, and then build your own version of one of them. Choose a type that doesn't need complicated manufacturing techniques, and doesn't use materials that are too hazardous - no heavy metals especially lead or mercury, no strong acids or alkalis, etc.
Oct23-12, 11:33 PM | #5 |
What about a daniel cell?
Oct24-12, 08:27 AM | #6 |
Zinc or manganese, possibly alkaline (=caustic, depends on how easy you're with chemistry safety), with carbon and manganese dioxide as a depolarizer (no performance without a depolarizer). The purity of the consumed metal defines its shelf life; you could fill the electrolyte at last moment.
Put many thin electrodes in parallel to get more short-time power. |
Oct25-12, 11:21 AM | #7 |
If you don't need much power you could just use dissimilar metals in an acid bath, in series for more voltage or in parallel for more current, however many you need. You would just need to keep the cells separate from each other but you could use a common vat of acid. Almost any dissimilar metal set would work, copper and aluminum, iron and zinc, some combo like that. |

First of all let me just say, I am not a fan of obstacles. I sold my mountain bike three years ago because I got tired of clipping in and out of my pedals all the time whenever there was a giant boulder or tree root in my way. I don't have a lot of skills and would rather just go as fast as I can go whenever I race; whether it be a bike race, running race, or triathlon.
So how did I get sucked into doing a Warrior Dash in the first place? My husband and I have been involved with the Palm Beach chapter Team in Training since 2006. Team in Training is the main fund-raising program for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We are currently training for the Disney half marathon with Team in Training. A bunch of our Team in Training friends decided they wanted to do the central Florida Warrior Dash, which took placed in Lake Wales, in January 2011. My husband and daughter did that race together and had a blast. I was taking a brief rest from racing around that time and didn't want to put another race on my schedule.
But then a few months ago we saw the website had scheduled a race for south Florida in December. The south Florida Warrior Dash took place on Saturday, December 3 at Quiet Waters Park in Deerfield Beach. The Lake Wales race was a couple hour drive from our house, but Deerfield Beach is about a 20 minute drive from us. So of course I said sign me up when my husband and daughter said they were doing another Warrior Dash. Silly me.
Above: my daughter and husband getting psyched for the 2011 south Florida Warrior Dash
What is the Warrior Dash?
The Warrior Dash, which can be classified as an adventure race, is put on by Red Frog Events. The Warrior Dash is a 5k, that's 3.1 miles, off road race with 10-12 obstacles scattered throughout the course. Depending on the location, the Warrior Dash is either a 1 day or 2 day event. Racers go off in waves of 500-600 people every half hour. You pick the day and time you want to race. My group picked the 1 PM wave, that way we could even get my 16 year old daughter, who normally sleeps until noon, to do the race. There were over 7,000 racers participating in the south Florida Warrior Dash, awesome!
The obstacles include mud pits, water crossings, fire pit and lots of climbing. They post up a course map for each race on the website including the types and locations of each obstacle. The obstacles listed on the website didn't match up exactly what was on the course the day of the race, but at least it gave us a general idea of what to expect.

Obstacles; Friend or Foe
I'm not a fan of heights so I was pretty sure there would be a few obstacles I would skip. The funny thing is, I love climbing! It's the turn around at the top and climb down the opposite side part that I couldn't do on some of the really high obstacles. So I would climb to the top of most of the high obstacles then climb back down on the same side. My friends all laughed at me, whatever. I'm not the only one that avoided some of the obstacles. On Sunday morning I was waiting in the bathroom line before the start of the Palm Beach Marathon. The girl standing behind me did the Warrior Dash, she said she didn't like the obstacles and went around almost all of them. Must be my long lost twin sister, we should start a club; chicken shit girls that like to race - LOL!
I loved the tire, wrecked cars, water, mud and fire obstacles; they were all a piece-of-cake. I even did the highest obstacle, a climbing wall which had a fireman's pole you had to slide down at the top. There was a solid platform at the top of the climbing part which you stood on before flinging yourself down the fireman's pole. I couldn't really see the ground from the solid platform so, although I was a lot higher than I would normally be comfortable with, because I couldn't see the ground I didn't freak out. I couldn't do the cargo net climb because I could see the ground through the nets. I'm just weird.

Name Your Obstacle
Some of the obstacles you might run into at the Warrior Dash include:
- rubber ricochet
- road rage
- giant cliff hanger
- dead-man's drop
- chaotic crossover
- tipsy tightrope
- storming Normandy
- vertical limit
- great warrior wall
- cargo climb
- warrior roast
- muddy mayhem
Above: the after photo. Can you say mud? Photo by random Warrior Dash spectator.
Bring a Change of Clothes
The very last obstacle at the Warrior Dash was the HUGE mud pit. If you managed to stay clean on the rest of the course, well, get ready to get muddy. There are chains strung across the mud pit so you had no choice but to go through it crawling on your hands and knees. You could keep your face/head/hair out of the mud, barely, but a few wacky participants dove head first into the mud pit or belly flopped at the end of the pit, fun times!
Everyone in my group picked out old clothes and shoes to race in. Trust me, you probably don't want to go home in the clothes and shoes you were racing in. Bring a change of clothes and shoes to change into after the race. We also brought along beach towels, garbage bags and wet wipes. There were showers/water trucks available at the end of the race. But the lines were pretty long. The south Florida race took place at a large park with a few lakes. A group of us went down to the water and cleaned off in one of the lakes rather than wait in line to be hosed off by the water truck. As we made our way down to the lake, we saw one of the water trucks refilling from the lake. Just make sure one of your friends goes into the water first, this is south Florida and alligators love lakes. :)

Used Shoe Collection
Green Sneakers sets up a tent at the Warrior Dash and collects donations of every ones used shoes at the end of the race. They clean up the sneakers and send them to groups of people in need, both domestically and abroad. Green Sneakers asks that you tie your shoes together, so they have matching pairs of sneakers. Sneakers all look pretty much the same when covered with mud. The parking lot also had large areas of donated shoes waiting to be picked up. We didn't want to walk back to the race start after getting cleaned up, so we started a pile of shoes right next to our car.
I would also suggest bringing a cooler with you filled with cold beverages, mostly beer in ours, and snacks. Each warrior over the age of 21 gets a free beer at the end of the race but the beer tent was way too crowded and we couldn't bring our 16 year old daughter with us so we skipped the free beer and made our way back to the parking lot where a friend of ours had lots of ice cold beer and snacks waiting for everyone. We were still starving as we left the race site, so some of us ended up driving over to BurgerFi in Delray Beach to stuff our pie holes with burgers and fries, mmmmm!

To Race or Not to Race
I wasn't going to do the Warrior Dash as a hard core race for a number of reasons.
1. I participate in 15-20 events per year. The end of November through end of January is normally the time of year I am winding down my race season and even taking some time off from my usual workout schedule.
2. I was racing a 10k the next day at the Palm Beach Marathon. I had a goal to go for a 10k PR so I was using Warrior Dash as more of a warm up than an actual race.
3. The Warrior Dash took place mainly on the mountain bike trails of Quiet Waters Park, so that meant off road/trail running for the majority of the race. Trail running mixed with 12 obstacles on the course sounded like it would be too easy to twist an ankle which I didn't want to do.
4. I ran the Warrior Dash with a good friend of mine that was just getting back into running after an injury. I knew she wasn't going to be going for a land speed record so we did the race at a slow jog/brisk walk. Also, almost every obstacle had a clog of people waiting to go through the obstacle so we usually had to wait for a minute or two before we could actually get through the obstacles.
Above: we used our house for the staging area before leaving for the race. This is a photo of my VIP lounge sign I placed on the front door - HA-HA! Event parking was $10 per vehicle, so we all managed to fit into our mini van and friends SUV to car pool to the race. Meeting at our house allowed us to finalize war paint application, grab a cup of coffee and take photos.
Additional Information
The Warrior Dash website currently shows 38 races planned for 2012 with additional locations to be announced later in the year. The race is not limited to the United States, you can also participate in a Warrior Dash in Great Britain, Canada or Australia! Warrior Dash swag included a t-shirt, viking hat and finishers medal, SWEET!

After the murder of newly arrived Irish emigrant Sean Goggin in Worcester in 1951, Police Chief William P. Finneran made a promise to Goggin's parents that those "responsible for this most dastardly act" would be brought to justice. Now, more than 60 years later, investigators may be a step closer to delivering on that promise.
Goggin, a native of Youghal in Cork had been in Worcester for just over a week before he was killed. Prior to that, Goggin had been in Canada for two years. He was just 20 years old when he was killed.
Detective Sgt. Mark J. Sawyer of the Unresolved Homicide Unit said last week that, "We've recently located some evidence that we believe is of probative value to us, and we believe is worth testing at the state crime lab. We are in the process of submitting that to the state crime lab. We hope to develop a DNA profile from that evidence."
The technology being used in today's reinvestigation into the murder was not available during the 50s. Sgt. Sawyer, however, declined to name specifically what the new evidence is.
Sergeant Sawyer elaborated on Goggin's background. "Sean came here for work and ironically he was due to start a job the following day. He was a pattern maker and was due to start a job here in Worcester."
In Worcester, Goggin had moved in with Cornelius Herlihy, the uncle of one of Goggin's schoolmates back in Ireland. On the night of March 11, 1951, Herlihy received an odd phone call to his house, one that he assumed to be a wrong number.
At around 10:30 pm, Herlihy answered the phone to a person who said he was a Mr. Anderson, who said he would be able to 'pay him tomorrow.' Herlihy didn't know anyone by the name of Anderson, and was baffled by the phonecall.
Just 15 minutes later, two men knocked on the back door of the Herlihy house on the dark and rainy March night.
"We're from Western Union with a telegram," the men allegedly said to Goggin who had gone to answer the door. At least one of them was masked, and held up a handgun and said something to the likes of 'This is a holdup.'
"Mr. Herlihy then grabbed hold of the firearm and struggled with the assailant, at which point a round was discharged from the firearm," Sgt. Sawyer said. That round went into the ceiling.
However, when the other man fired off two shots from his .32-caliber Colt, Goggin was struck in his heart and died 15 minutes later.
Goggin's body was flown back to Ireland for burial, despite leaving behind a still unsolved case.
Investigators have speculated that perhaps they were attempting to kidnap Cornelius Herlihy, who was the sales manager of United Dairy System Inc. The theory was that the suspects might have wanted him to open the company safe.
Sgt. Sawyer said that he was "impressed" with the investigation that was conducted in the aftermath, but takes heed to the fact that 1951 wasn't nearly as technologically advanced as it is today.
"In reviewing the case file, I was very impressed at the investigation that was done by the investigators back then," Sgt. Sawyer said. "They did not have all the tools that we have available to us these days. They left no stone unturned."
Despite impressive investigation, the handgun that killed Sean Goggin was never recovered.
Now that the investigation is being reexamined, Sgt Sawyer believes there may be some witnesses still alive to help piece together the night of March 11, 1951. Though the perpetrators may in fact have died already, concrete evidence could put an end on the still unfinished story.
Letters from Goggin's grieving parents John and Madge Goggin in Ireland are included in the investigation files.
"We are greatly grieved by the murder of our son in such tragic circumstances, but our distress has been added to by certain misleading statements which have appeared in the newspapers about the killing," the Goggin's wrote in April 1951 to Chief Finneran. His parents added that their son had no connection to the gunmen.
Also in April of that year, Joseph F. Shields, consul for the Consulate of Ireland, stationed in Boston, wrote to the police chief. He discussed the concern of Mr. Goggin's parents.
"They believe that their son was perfectly innocent of any connection with anything discreditable, and they are anxious that full enquiries be made into their boy's death so that all the facts may come to light and be disclosed," Shields wrote.
Finneran responded, "Investigation discloses that your son was not involved with any gangster movement in this city, and from all appearances was an innocent victim of circumstances. Be advised that we are making every effort to try and locate the two men responsible for this most dastardly act, and you can rest assured that they will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law when they are taken into custody."
While I do agree w/what TisEyerish about the cost o this case,what could it really hurt to do it.Don't forget some people still want to know who Jack The Ripper really was & how he ended up in the end.The again some cases may never be meant to be solved.
One really has to wonder "why"? What are the odds of the perpetrators still being alive? How many direct relatives of Mr. Goggin are still alive, and do they really want to be reminded of this sad event, at this point in time? It seems to me, from a practical point-of-view, that tax payers dollars would be better spent to solve current crimes. Just my humble opinion!

Should We "Invite" Instead of Manipulate?

Figaro rips the innards out of things people say and reveals the rhetorical tricks and pratfalls. For terms and definitions, click here.
(What are figures of speech?)
Ask Figaro a question!
Kay Halasek, a professor at Ohio State, interviewed me for a writing MOOC (massive open online course). The main topic, besides rhetoric itself: Is manipulation a good thing?
Decorum doesn't mean using the right fork—unless your audience cares deeply about using the right fork. So what if the Supreme Court justices were plunked down in average America and forced to speak decorously?
See this Onion piece. It will forever change your notion of decorum.
"My theory has an opinion. I don't have an opinion," says Harvard B-school prof Clayton Christensen, author of The Innovator's Dilemma. He's employing a great rhetorical strategy. Want someone to agree with your opinion? Take yourself out of the picture. It makes you sound objective and disinterested—free of special interests. Those who have read my book or heard me speak know that appearing disinterested helps make an audience trust your opinion. So how do you take yourself out of your own point of view?
"I used to agree with the other side. But the facts (or changing circumstances) forced me to change my mind." Christensen doesn't exactly do this. But he does say Listen to the theory, not to me. That takes personality out of the picture. How does the audience know whether to believe the theory? By looking at the facts. Not at Christensen.
Writing coaches tell you to stick to the active voice. But scientists (and B-school profs like Christensen) use the passive voice in most of their academic papers. "The mouse was placed into the maze," not "My hot young research assistant placed the mouse into the maze." Again, this takes the personality out of the picture, making the author seem disinterested.
I call this tool Stalin's Timing Secret. Before he became the Soviet dictator, Josef Stalin would sit mute until the very end of meetings. Finally, if there was any disagreement, he would weigh in on one side or the other and settle the issue. He did this so often that comrades would look at him toward the end of every meeting, waiting for his judgment. It works. Wait until late in a meeting, then say, "This is what I'm hearing." Then spin it in a way that favors your point of view.
Shutting up. Consider it the new eloquence.
I like to ask audiences for a show of hands: How many wish arguments were purely logical? Almost everyone's hand, including mine, goes up. But Aristotle—the guy who invented logic as we know it—says that logic isn't the biggest persuader. Nope. The biggest persuader is character. (Aristotle called it Ethos, but he was speaking in Greek.)
Watch this amazing TED talk by the great ecologist Allan Savory and pay close attention to the character he projects.
You can persuade people much more easily if they like and trust you. The three tools to get yourself liked and trusted: Craft, Caring, and Cause. (Aristotle: phonesis, eunoia, and arete, all Greek to me.)
Craft means showing you know what you're talking about and knowing how to apply that knowledge to specific problems. Savory does this in spades, showing deep knowledge and applying it innovatively.
Caring has to do with convincing your audience that you're willing to sacrifice yourself for their interest—that you're not after money or power. In short, that you care. Savory's soft-spoken approach and modest dress convey a someone who's there just to deliver an urgent message, not to get rich or famous.
Cause: This is the biggest tool of all. When you pitch a product or service, or argue an issue, ask yourself: What's your cause? What does your argument do for humanity?
It's the cause that wins the standing ovation. How do you think Savory did? Let me know what your own cause is. How does it relate to your work? Do you serve a larger cause in what you do to earn a living?
I'll tell you mine: It's to teach people how to argue without anger and persuade without fear. Our democracy depends on it. I quit my job to promote it. That doesn't make me a saint. But I hope it makes me more persuasive.
Figaro has been going around the country telling corporations not to apologize. Has he gone to the dark side? Hardly! In fact, we think corporations would endear us to them a whole lot more if they stopped apologizing, followed his directions to the letter, and paid him lavishly for the privilege.
Bloomberg Businessweek offers a fine example. It's a truly great magazine—one that has undergone a wonderful renaissance. (Full disclosure: the magazine did a profile of us last year. But we were loving the magazine before that. Honest.) Its most recent cover, though, is awful. Click on the thumbnail to see the full image.
The magazine, predictably and mistakenly, apologized:
Our cover illustration last week got strong reactions, which we regret. Our intention was not to incite or offend. If we had to do it over again we'd do it differently.
What's wrong with that? Let us show you how to do it right.
And do it without cartoons making fun of people of color. Got it?
Want to persuade? Keep it simple. Start by not talking like a Women's Studies major.
Jezebel's Dodai Stewart commits the rhetorical sin of unnecessary complexity with her take on Sport's Illustrated's latest swimsuit issue:
This photo cements stereotypes, perpetuates an imbalance in the power dynamic, is reminiscent of centuries of colonialism (and indentured servitude) and serves as a good example of both creating a centrality of whiteness and using "exotic" people as fashion props.
Having stared at the picture judiciously, Figaro agrees with Ms. Stewart. The photo is truly offensive. But whiteness centrality and imbalances in the power dynamic? Phrases like these only trigger spontaneous eye-rolling.
Instead of multisyllabic bloviation, let's try good ol' ridicule, focusing on the photo's most cringe-worthy aspect. How? By turning it into an offensive cartoon. Got a better balloon? Tell us!

This recipe was inspired by a salad I saw at Whole Foods. It the flavor is truly amazing when made with organic Brussels sprouts, fresh lemon, thyme and chives and finely grated raw milk Parmagiano - Reggiano cheese. You can find more of my recipes here: http://www.zonediet.com/Community/F...fault.aspx********************************************************************* Brussels Sprouts Slaw Ingredients: slaw: Fresh Brussels sprouts, cut into a thin sliced shred Slivered Almonds Thyme leaves Chives, snipped Sea salt and ground black pepper Finely grated Parmesan cheese dressing: Lemon juice Almond oil Directions: 1. Toss slaw ingredients together. 2. In another bowl, whisk dressing ingredients with a fork until well blended. 3. Pour dressing over the slaw and toss lightly. It's great to prepare it ahead of time and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend.
This recipe is from the book "Almost Vegetarian" by Diana Shaw. It's a favorite at my house. To quote the author, "This dish targets every conceivable craving and hits each spot with something hearty (mushrooms), creamy (cheese sauce), crunchy (cabbage), sweet (beets), and sharp (dill)." I've included a photo of it in my photobucked album (link in my signature, below).' ******************************************************************* "WONDERFUL WARM WINTER SLAW" 1 hour 20 minutes from start to finish. This dish is best made just before serving. Makes 2 servings, each one containing 3P, 2C and 4 to 6F (fat amount depends on the type of milk and cheese you use) To make it more Zone friendly and balanced, I've changed the butter in the original recipe to an equal amount of olive oil, and I've eliminated the recommendation to serve it over rice. Ingredients: 1 ½ tablespoons light olive oil (do not use extra virgin in this recipe) 1 large white or yellow onion, thinly sliced 1 teaspoon sea salt 2 tablespoons fresh minced dill, or 2 teaspoons crumbled dried dill 1 pound mixed fresh mushrooms, such as button, oyster and portobello, cleaned and sliced (I use a box of sliced baby portobellos) 2 cups chopped (or thin sliced) red cabbage 2 cups cauliflower florets 1 tablespoon all purpose flour 1 cup warm low-fat or nonfat milk, or plain low carb unsweetened soy milk1 teaspoon dry mustard 1 cup grated reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese 1 medium beet, cooked, peeled, and chopped Directions: Heat ½ tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onion, salt and dill, and sauté gently over low heat, stirring often, until the onion is limp and tender, about 20 minutes. Add the mushrooms to the skillet. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring often until they're just cooked through, about 10 minutes more. Be sure to keep the heat very low, or the mix will become watery. The moment the mushrooms are cooked, turn off the heat. Steam the cabbage until it's tender but not mushy, about 12 minutes. Transfer it to a colander and let it drain. Steam the cauliflower until just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside. In a medium saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Whisk in the flour, and cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture is bubbly and golden, about 3 minutes. Raise the heat to medium, add the milk, and keep whisking until the mixture is smooth and thick, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add the mustard and cheese, and beat swiftly until smooth. Transfer the mushroom mixture, cabbage, cauliflower and beet to a large mixing bowl. Toss well. Pour the cheese sauce on top, and toss again to coat the vegetables thoroughly. Serve at once._____________________________________________________

You'e welcome Sarah! Here's another one of my cole slaw recipes.SUE'S CREAMY COLE SLAW WITH APPLE(Makes 5 servings, each containing 1C and 3 F, when using the specific brand and type of mayo specified in the recipe)Ingredients:8 oz package of sliced cabbage for Cole Slaw (or about 3 cups thinly sliced cabbage)1 ½ apples , unpeeled and shredded (Shred right before assembling the salad to prevent browning; I like organic Gala apples best in this dish, for flavor and also for consistency when shredded.) Dressing ingredients:5 Tablespoons "365 Light Mayonnaise Expeller Pressed Canola Oil", this is a whole Foods brand that contains 4.5g fat per tablespoon (It's mayo in a typical mayo jar.) The juice of 1 lemon1 packet fructose (that's about ¾ teaspoon)Onion powder to taste(careful not overdo it with this)Fresh ground black pepper to tasteDirections:1. Mix dressing ingredients together using a whisk or a fork until well blended and smooth. Set aside.2. Shred the apples after you've mixed the dressing, just before assembling the salad or they will brown. The dressing will prevent them from browning after the salad is assembled3. Toss the apples and cabbage together with the dressing until all ingredients are distributed uniformly.Enjoy!
I received an email article just this morning about 3 foods that should be avoided... wheat, corn and SOY! I will look for the info source and post it in another thread.

Blonde lady in tiger undies
Try watching this nude granny as she show what she got in this video while alone in her room with her long dildo made of glass. She uses it touching her entire body, arousing herself then presses her boobs as she dances to the beat of music on her erotic and teasing moves. This nude granny suck the dildo imagining it like a real cock, stroking it in deep throat. She remove her undies printed with tiger then slides the toy on her wet and pink pussy, and touches her clitoris that tickles her and makes her shiver until she reaches her orgasm.

Pittsburghers like to brag about the fact that Southwestern Pennsylvania fully experiences all four seasons, and, indeed, observing the changing colors of the natural landscape here is quite a joy—especially for Californians and other West Coasters who've grown accustomed to passing annually through two seasons only: hot and cold.
Choosing the perfect time to visit is really nothing more than a matter of personal inclination. When snow falls, the winter season here (late December–early April) is absolutely gorgeous, yet the months of January and February can be unbearably cold; even native Pittsburghers tend to hibernate during this time of the year.
Pittsburgh summers are often scorching hot and dripping with humidity, although this is also the season during which the city comes alive with the most vigor and excitability. What's more, a score of important festivals and events takes place during the summer.
Fall is a particularly lovely time to visit Pittsburgh. There's nothing quite like the sight of the city's green leaves turning to shades of yellow, red, and brown before falling to the sidewalks. The weather is also evenly pleasant, with days that are cool but not cold and evenings that might best be described as light-jacket weather: sharp and brisk.
