This is a bit of a rant, only because I am still pissed off. I've written to my customer service rep and my customer service rep's boss, called National Grid support several times to find out who else could be contacted, wrote a tweet, wrote a review at the Better Business Bureau.
Here's the thing. I have a house with a brand new furnace. The process is first they remove the old furnace. This starts a period where the house no longer has heat. This happened Monday. Then there is an inspection. That's Tuesday. Still no heat. Once the inspection is complete you can call for a meter set. This was all done. The meter set appointment was for today. Third day without heat. In New England. In November.
On calling National Grid the appointment is an "all day appointment". But they do say that what will happen is that the installer will call 15 minutes before showing up. Ok then. That I can do.
I received no phone call. I was pulling my iPhone out and checking for any indication there was a call of any kind and no such call occurred. At 3PM I call the service line. The tech left a report that he called at 9:40 AM, reached voicemail, and then went by and no one was there.
Here's the thing. An iPhone records every call. Missed, voicemail, whatever, it's network traffic and there is in my experience ALWAYS a record of a call. It may show up after the fact, but if the call was made it shows. There was no call made. At all. There is no such thing as a call that disappears especially when it was specifically reported that the call reached voicemail.
So I am basically being blamed for not answering the phone, for not being a conscientious consumer, and yet I know for a fact no call was actually made to my phone. The installer may have misdialed, he may have not called at all, but what he said, that he called me and reached my voicemail, DID. NOT. HAPPEN.
If National Grid had said at the outset "we find that people are better off staying at the house the entire day until the tech shows up because our people are somewhat incompetent when it comes to using a telephone" I would have been at the house. And annoyed but not pissed. And I'd have the goddamned meter in place.
ADDED 10 Novemerber 2016
National Grid showed up today at 8:40 AM after calling 20 minutes before arrival, and installed the meter. The phone call came through without an issue.
National Grid also replied to my tweet about this, and my service rep responded as well.
There is something about being stuck without heat in late fall that is unnerving. My biggest concern was that tonight, when the temperature dips to 30 degrees, the house would still be without heat. That did not happen.
It's a measure of how much the iPhone and similar designs have changed how things work. Before 2007, "I called and reached voicemail" would have been an untraceable event. You'd have to accept it, there would be no way to verify your cell phone had not dropped off the network. Now we have videos as civic responsibility, you can take a picture of that business card and have it on file, you can fax things with your phone, and the phone gives an accurate record of call activity, even on missed calls. It's all network.

Eminem and Lady Gaga came in a close third and fourth with 42.2 million and 42 million, respectively, while Taylor Swift rounded out the top five with 41.8 million sales.

"My direction in design is repurposing everyday readymade objects into something new by giving them a different function," she explains. "This is a lamp I made using over 320 wire whisks." Sampson is currently an Applied Art and Design major at the University for the Creative Arts and we're glad to see that she's actively "applying" her studies in real life!

in reply to Re: Number 1 mistake to not avoid during an interview
in thread (OT) Number 1 mistake to not avoid during an interview
Not to mention the potential numbers of programmers with Asperger Syndrome:
It's a familiar joke in the industry that many of the hardcore programmers in IT strongholds like Intel, Adobe, and Silicon Graphics - coming to work early, leaving late, sucking down Big Gulps in their cubicles while they code for hours - are residing somewhere in Asperger's domain. Kathryn Stewart, director of the Orion Academy, a high school for high-functioning kids in Moraga, California, calls Asperger's syndrome "the engineers' disorder." Bill Gates is regularly diagnosed in the press: His single-minded focus on technical minutiae, rocking motions, and flat tone of voice are all suggestive of an adult with some trace of the disorder. Dov's father told me that his friends in the Valley say many of their coworkers "could be diagnosed with ODD - they're odd." In Microserfs, novelist Douglas Coupland observes, "I think all tech people are slightly autistic."

"Ideally, what should be said to every child, repeatedly, throughout his or her school life is something like this: 'You are in the process of being indoctrinated. We have not yet evolved a system of education that is not a system of indoctrination. We are sorry, but it is the best we can do. What you are being taught here is an amalgam of current prejudice and the choices of this particular culture. The slightest look at history will show how impermanent these must be. You are being taught by people who have been able to accommodate themselves to a regime of thought laid down by their predecessors. It is a self-perpetuating system. Those of you who are more robust and individual than others will be encouraged to leave and find ways of educating yourself — educating your own judgements. Those that stay must remember, always, and all the time, that they are being moulded and patterned to fit into the narrow and particular needs of this particular society."

The sun has been shining in Iowa, but the state's farmers haven't made enough hay.
A drop in hay acres by as much as 20%, by farmers intent in cashing in on high corn prices, has left hay supplies tight. Prices have increased 30% above last year and left cattle producers annoyed and in no mood to expand their herds.
If cattle producers don't expand their herds above what is a 50-year low in the U.S., consumers can expect high beef prices into the foreseeable future.
The Iowa hay supply was eroded further this summer and fall as some Iowa hay has been bought to ship to hard-pressed ranchers in Texas and Oklahoma, hit by drought that parched grazing fields.

Male Affection: A Photographic History Tour | The Art of Manliness
This is a really fascinating photo history of male affection expressed in posed studio portraits as well as snapshots. There are a lot of really wonderful photos here, but I picked this one out mainly because the chap on the left is a dead ringer for the actor Eddie Redmayne!

This is a story about a wrongly accused man caught in a net swung by the well-intentioned.
In 2001, the word was out and it spread quickly. Several seed companies let it be known they wouldn't stand for seed piracy. Through their attorneys, the companies said investigations were being conducted across the Mid-South, and prosecutions were planned under the Plant Variety Protection Act.
The warnings weren't idle. By October 2002, at least six lawsuits against Mid-South farmers and/or agri-businesses had been filed and more were promised.
A year later, in mid-September, Wade Castleberry was in his northeast Arkansas office when a man pulled into the parking lot. Summoned to the front desk, Castleberry took papers from the man and learned he was being sued for seed piracy.
Castleberry's first reaction was shock. His next was outrage. As his and the co-op's legal saga unfolded over the next four years, those same emotions repeatedly surfaced.
Wade Castleberry is the general manager of Marmaduke, Ark.-based Delta Cotton Co-op. He is an articulate young man with an earnest, friendly demeanor. He is easy-going and easy to like.
Not long after the century's turn, in an attempt to find seed pirates, seed companies sent private investigators on scouting trips. The private investigators drove Delta roads, stopping at chemical companies, co-ops and grain elevators.
On a November day in 2001, a private investigator walked to the Delta Cotton counter and asked to buy feed wheat for deer. Because it was then deer season, the request raised no concerns.
"I'm a hunter and I use wheat for deer feed," says Castleberry. "So do our salesmen. The deer eat it just as they do corn.
"We've got wheat for feed and wheat for seed. We didn't think this guy wanted to plant it and grow a crop. Had we thought that, we'd have sold him a wheat seed with a germ test — something we knew would emerge."
The transaction was entirely above board, says Castleberry. He'd even checked with the Arkansas Plant Board prior to the investigator's visit.
"I understand patent laws and I know the difference between right and wrong. When I had a question about the wheat, I went to find an answer… The wheat we sell for bait and for chicken feed was initially a concern. I called the Plant Board to ensure we had our ducks in a row.
"The Plant Board rep told me, 'You need to put it in a bag, guarantee its weight, and send it off for crude fiber fat and protein analysis to protect the customer.'
"I asked what else was required. He said, '(Label it properly) and you're good to go.' Once we took those steps, I didn't think anything else about it."
Not long after, the private investigator bought three bags of the wheat. But he didn't drive to a hunting camp. After dipping in the sacks and sending samples to a lab, Syngenta was informed that one of its varieties — Coker 9663 — was in the bags' mix.
The Delta Cotton Co-op has been in business since 1965. In its history, Castleberry says, there's never been a germination test on wheat seed. Why is that significant?
"To sell a product for someone to plant and grow, I do germ tests. Otherwise, I'd end up with (angry) customers. You think I want a producer mad because seed I sold won't come up? That would be a poor business decision."
With the feed wheat, "we never took steps to preserve the germ — to keep it cool or anything else. We had a 108,000-bushel bin and 56,000-bushel bins to work with."
When delivering grain to the co-op, farmers cross the scale with many varieties of wheat. None is segregated.
"Every load is documented, and they all are dumped together. It could have been (X variety) in this load and (Z variety) the next. We didn't ask — as it came in, we dumped it into one big bin."
Later, as grain was needed, it was placed in 60-pound bags, tagged and put on the floor. The bagged portion of the amount stored "was probably less than a tenth of 1 percent."
Out of the three years the co-op was investigated, some 2,000 bags of wheat feed were sold. In comparison, more than 200,000 bags of corn (which is handled the same as wheat) were sold.
Finding representation
Less than an hour after being told the co-op was being sued, Castleberry was on the phone with Hunter Hanshaw, a Jonesboro, Ark.-based attorney. Soon, stories about the co-op began appearing in the media.
"Some of the statements in the press left the impression Delta Cotton was an unscrupulous seed pirate, that it was commercially exploiting Syngenta's technology," says Hanshaw. "That was not the case."
Castleberry and Hanshaw recognize the need and rights of seed companies to vigilantly protect their property rights.
"In the deposition, we were told there were (Mid-South seed dealers) up to no good," says Hanshaw. "They apparently were brown-bagging seed, selling it for just under the brand price and using it for propagation purposes."
"I have no problem — none — with seed companies keeping close tabs," says Castleberry. "I make my living selling certified seed. I understand the importance of keeping it pure and viable… I support that wholeheartedly. Any bad actors are cutting into my seed sales too. I'm completely against them.
Hanshaw says others accused were selling brown-bagged wheat seed for $1 to $2 under the certified seed market price.
"We were selling mingled wheat feed for $3.50 a bag," insists Castleberry. "The market price was $8… If I were going to sell a non-certified seed — wink, wink — I'd have been selling it for $6.50 or more. We were selling it at the market price for grain plus $1 for handling and bagging! That should have been a red flag that they were going after the wrong folks. The co-op wasn't commercially exploiting anyone."
The trial, originally set for October 2003, was pushed back a year when the trial judge didn't survive a heart transplant.
During the pre-trial wait and maneuvers, the unproven piracy accusations were causing problems for the co-op.
"We were going back and forth about settlement possibilities," says Hanshaw. "Wade never wanted to settle… Regardless, a cloud was hanging over the co-op, over Wade. You know, 'unscrupulous seedsman.'"
Asked about the fallout, Castleberry says, "it affected us badly. The customers who did business with the co-op, or even founded it, felt the ag world was looking at them as if they were criminals… We were named in several newspaper articles. But the 350 members decided to stand strong, toe-to-toe — even if it was with a big company — and fight."
A big problem was dealing with the manufacturers and seed companies that had "tech agreements" with the co-op. The co-op was seen as a risk.
"If you're labeled a 'seed pirate' — if you've been involved in any seed piracy suit — you have to divulge that on questionnaires from those companies. It's a huge deal when you check 'yes.'"
Castleberry found that out after a series of "major ordeals — going through a channel of folks, to reach the right people in order to lock down (seed deals)."
Co-op members lost the opportunity to grow seed.
"That would have helped our farmers get into a niche market. When this suit was filed, the company wanted nothing to do with us. They kept us at arm's length. That's an opportunity our growers lost."
Producer meetings were also extremely uncomfortable for Castleberry. "I was constantly explaining our side to folks, hoping they'd believe me. It was so awkward."
Meanwhile, the suit was addressed by the co-op board and membership.
"They knew the truth. I don't think there was ever a day when the board felt this wasn't worth fighting to the end."
The trial
The trial was held in Circuit Court Judge Susan Webber Wright's Jonesboro courtroom in April 2005.
"Some rulings made in (Wright's) chamber left me shaking my head," says Hanshaw. "I told Wade she'd made some rulings that weren't in our favor. Wade said, 'I don't care. No settlements. We're going to try this.'"
Castleberry remains adamant. "I was convinced that if I could tell my story, there was no way the jury wouldn't believe me."
The trial lasted three days.
"The three potential jurors who knew anything about farming and grain elevators had been rejected," says Hanshaw. "Feed and seed and the PVPA aren't very sexy topics. We didn't want a two-week trial because we'd lose the jury. After hearing 'wheat seed/wheat feed/seed, feed/feed, seed' for an hour, they were probably saying, 'get me out of here.'"
The jury was out only a couple of hours. It found against the co-op on two counts and announced damages of $67,500 for each claim.
"For three bags of deer feed!" says Castleberry. "There's no way to describe it. It was the most sickening feeling ever. I've always believed that if you do right, good things will come to you. If you stand up for right, things will work out, justice will be served. I believed that to my core.
"When this happened, my view of the court system changed in a heartbeat. It was deeply distressing."
Prior to the verdict, the two men had spoken about having a celebratory drink when they won the case. After the verdict was read, Castleberry leaned over to Hanshaw and whispered, "I don't think we're going out for that drink tonight."
"I don't know," replied Hanshaw. "I think I need one."
The appeal
The next day, Castleberry spoke with the co-op board. Again, the board had no intention of backing down.
"I told Hunter, 'I still believe this can work out in our favor. I can't believe this will stand, because we're right. Let's push on, let's take it higher.'"
Following legal wrangling, a notice of appeal was filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. An appeal from the Jonesboro court normally would have been made to the Eighth Circuit in St. Louis. But the federal court of appeals hears patent and international trade cases.
Hanshaw thought it would be strategically beneficial to bring in an attorney who regularly appears in that appeals court.
"I e-mailed a friend and he called me up within a couple of hours. Also on the call was his partner, Bill Bode. It turned out only one PVPA case had gone to the Supreme Court and Bode was one of the litigators. When I heard that I thought, 'Now we're moving in the right direction.'"
Bode argued the co-op's case in April. Months later the appeals court rendered a unanimous judgment.
"One July morning, I got a call from (Bode's partner). He said, 'Hunter, I'm thumbing through the mail. The decision came down. Looks like y'all won.' I was shell-shocked and elated at the same time."
Upon getting the news, "I was hollering and laughing," recalls Castleberry. "I felt such joy, such relief after that grueling drag. The four-year cloud lifted from me."
Castleberry called every co-op board member. "Then I tried to call every farmer I could find. Over the next couple of days, I printed the judgment and made a copy for any customer who wanted one."
Word of the verdict reversal filtered out. "I started getting calls from folks congratulating us and wishing us well. Lots of people were proud of us and offered support. It was wonderful. There was a lot of support from salesmen, suppliers and others."
Ready to be done
Castleberry is reluctant to complain too much. But Hanshaw isn't shy about saying how hard the years since 2001 have been for his client.
"This whole process has taken it out of Wade. He spent untold hours fighting this.
"This thing was forced on me," says Castleberry. "I purposely tried not to bother folks. I took it on personally as much as I could. It was my fight. Of course, my wife and family had to deal with it. Those were difficult years."
He insists the seed laws are set up in a way that left the co-op exposed.
"Say we bring in 500,000 bushels of wheat. Well, I've got to sell them to someone. We don't have a flour mill. So it has to go.
"Essentially, (if the grain is sold) in a form that can be propagated, that's illegal. If I sell it to (another elevator), whether it's in a big truck or in sacks, it's still capable of propagation."
The court of appeals reversed the lower court decision as a matter of law, not on a technicality. That's significant, says Hanshaw.
"We had a high burden to meet and the panel of three judges dug into the record and reviewed the facts and how they lined up with the law. Often, the court of appeals will remand a case to the district court and say, 'You need another hearing' or 'Issue a decision like this.' That didn't happen here. A mandate from the appeals court will come with instructions about the case. They flat out reversed the district court's verdict."
Asked if he'll now turn the tables on Syngenta, Hanshaw says, "They were looking at collecting on $148,000 plus interest for a year. As prevailing party, we're exploring how to handle that. We'll definitely seek costs and fees."
Any indication Syngenta will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court?
"I don't know. I don't think they will. At some point you just have to let it go. I'm elated we won, but this has been going on for four years. Enough!"
Castleberry admits to bouts of sleeplessness and second-guessing.
"I'm not going to claim I never had second thoughts about fighting it out. But any thoughts about dropping it were because of the toll it was taking on my family. In the end, I thought it was important my family see me stand on principle.
"If I had settled, I'd have been branded a pirate for the rest of my life. I might as well have put on an eye patch and a big, black hat.
"I'm past ready for the call from Hunter saying, 'That's it. You will never have to worry about this again. It's closed. Go enjoy your family, go get on with your life.'"
Editor's note: Saying it's an ongoing legal case, Syngenta declined comment on the case's particulars. The company did ask the appeals court for a rehearing. In late September that request was denied. Asked for comment, a Syngenta spokesperson said, "We're evaluating (the appeal court's) decision and our next steps."

I'm moving to Bangalore for a year at the beginning of April!!!
There, I've said it.
It's been a really hard thing for me to talk about, as, although I'm over the moon and can't wait, it's meant that I'm having to change my current business in Bristol. This is something that I'm really sad about doing, as I'm really enjoying what I've got going on at the moment.
Living abroad is one of those things that we've always talked about doing, we nearly moved to Australia when we were first married, but it wasn't the right time. So when there was a possibility of moving to India with my husband's job, we had to give it some serious thought.
We've been living with my parents in Bath for almost a year now, after selling our flat in Bristol. So with no home, no kids and everything already in storage, we decided that we couldn't pass up such an opportunity as India is such an amazing, beautiful, crazy place!
So what is going to happen to my business?
I'll be splitting my time between India and the UK allowing me to make the most of the Indian experience and give my clients what they want in the Bristol / Bath area - so you'll probably spot me out and about in town when I come back to see clients throughout the year. I've also got some exciting new services planned which I can't wait to tell you all about (I'm currently keeping them a secret so watch this space!).
I'm hoping that my blog will be a big part of my life while I'm away and am planning to take it a little more seriously. It's something I love doing but I know that I need to put some structure and planning in place so I can grow it into something that resembles a bigger and better blog. I just hope that you'll all be right there with me, it will be strange living in such a different place so far away so if you're up for it, please continue to follow me and comment. I love to hear your comments; they honestly do make my day :)
My time in India will be a fantastic opportunity to take some time out and reflect on where I am and where I want to be. I'm constantly planning and coming up with ideas to push my business forward; there are new personal stylists cropping up all the time so I try to make sure that I'm one step ahead. India will give me the time and distance to put some of my plans and dreams into reality as well as some serious inspiration and excellent experiences to draw upon.
But what about Hendrix I hear you say? !
If you're still here (thanks for reading!), then here are some pictures from our recent trip to Bangalore...
Can you spot the goose?
Have you been to India before? Is it somewhere you'd like to go? Any tips on what I should take other than a giant box of Yorkshire Tea!?

Friday may prove to have been the worst day in recent human history, when it comes to natural disasters (Earth quake, Tsunami etc). I am writing this when news has hit the screen showing a massive explosion at Japan's Fukushima No. 1 nuclear energy plant.
On BBC news a 'nuclear energy expert' was making it seem that it wasn't so bad and glossing over the fact that the whole building had exploded. Naive BBC reporters on the 24 hour news, were referring to the buildings as a cylinders, despite be rectangular in shape!
Lets make things clearer. The fact that the whole building that contained the nuclear reactor exploded, implies that containment has been lost, or at least it is extremely likely. Modern nuclear reactors are supposed to have containment buildings that are 'designed' to contain an event if the reactor itself fails. In boiling water reactors (such as the one at Fukushima), explosions are caused by an uncontrolled build up of heat in the reactor which can result in hydrogen being produced, which is of course is explosive.
So given that the outer building has been blown apart, it isn't that difficult to assume the worse and that is the reactor blew up and the containment building failed to contain that explosion. This is a massive failure that isn't suppose to happen, at least if you are to believe the nuclear engineers!
Lets hope it hasn't happened, but it doesn't take much imagination to put two and two together.
ADDED: It thankfully looks like the explosion was external to the containment vessel, caused by vented steam and hydrogen gas. This did actually occur to me later, since only the outer skin of the building had been blown away. This didn't tie in with an explosion ripping apart the containment vessel, if that had happened, I don't think the steel framework of the building would have remained standing.
We'll have to see how this plays out. It now appears No. 3 reactor also has a failure of the emergency cooling system.

Filmmaker Ron Howard, comedian Neil Patrick Harris and actress Marlee Matlin are among the celebrities who have paid tribute to late actor Peter O'toole.
The Lawrence of Arabia star passed away on Saturday (14Dec13) in London, following a long illness.
After the news of his death broke on Sunday (15Dec13), a number of famous faces took to Twitter.com to pay their respects to the iconic star.
Howard writes, "RIP Peter O'Toole. One of his generation's greatest talents", while actor Neil Patrick Harris, who worked with the Irish veteran in 1999 on TV movie Joan of Arc, tweets, "So sad to hear about Peter O'Toole passing away. Lucky to have worked with him for a month in Prague. Wonderful man, remarkable talent."
Actress Marlee Matlin writes, "Sad to read about passing of acting great Peter O'Toole. Eight Oscar nominations highlight what a talent he was. RIP" and Ben Stiller posts, "From Lawrence of Arabia to My Favorite Year… and so many others. One of the movie greats is gone. Respect to Peter O'Toole."
Whoopi Goldberg, Alec Baldwin, Tony Bennett, Simon Pegg and La Toya Jackson have also added tributes on Twitter.

Understanding Audi
Turbo fuel stratified injection or TFSI combines petrol direct injection with turbocharging.
Compared with conventional naturally aspirated V6 engines, a turbocharged direct-injection four-cylinder engine delivering the same performance uses 10 to 15 percent less fuel.
FSI technology and turbocharging make an excellent combination because the evaporation of fuel directly within the combustion chamber in FSI engines removes heat from the intake air. This allows a higher compression, significantly improving engine efficiency. It also solves an old problem in all turbocharged engines – a high tendency to knock at high boost levels.
The integrated turbocharger exhaust manifold module ensures optimum turbine efficiency, resulting in excellent utilisation of the exhaust energy. This achieves both a high power output and optimum engine responsiveness, ultimately helping to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.

St. Augustine's still rules CIAA
Notes: Lynchburg takes home both ODAC titles
St. Augustine's College is still the best team in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The Falcons made that much clear over the weekend, winning a 14th consecutive outdoor conference championship at the CIAA meet at Rogers Stadium in Petersburg, Va.
The two-time defending NCAA Division II national champions racked up 176.5 points, well ahead of second place Johnson C. Smith, which finished with 119 points. The title is the 31st in the last 33 years for St. Augustine's, a string of success matched by few other teams in the country at any level.
Orolando Duffus played a pivotal role in the latest title. The MVP of the field events took home top honors in the long jump (7.44 meters) and triple jump (14.98 meters). Teammate Christopher Copeland was the champion in the high jump with a leap of 2.16 meters.
Ramon Gittens did his part as well. The senior star won the 100 and 200-meter dashes. Gittens was one of four sprinters for the Falcons to finish in the top seven of the 100, crossing the line in 10.59. He finished the 200 in 21.23. Jason Boyd ended up as the 110 hurdles champion with a time of 14.14 and St. Augustine's also won the 400 (40.36) and 1600 (3:07.70) relays.
Leford Green was named the MVP of the running events after winning the 400 and 400 hurdles. The Johnson C. Smith standout posted a time of 46.61 in the sprint and crossed the line in 52.51 in the hurdles. Teammate Randale Watson walked away as the champion in the shot put (15.21 meters) and discus (48.12 meters).
While St. Augustine's continued a run of success that seems to have no end in sight, the Johnson C. Smith women's track team won its first ever conference championship.
Shermaine Williams led the historic run into the record book, earning MVP honors. The senior star was the champion of the 100 hurdles, posting an NCAA provisional time of 13.42 while taking second in the 100 with a time of 12.17. Williams was also second in the 200, crossing the line in 24.60.
Head coach Lennox Graham talked on the team website about what the championship meant to the program.
"Our program has made great strides and we continue to try and improve each season with every meet," Graham said. "This championship is the result of preparation, dedication and hard work by our student-athletes and coaching staff."
Freshman Danielle Williams helped the Golden Bulls win the title by taking first in the 100, clocking in with a time of 12.02.
The 400 relay also finished in first, posting a time of 45.61, and Danielle Williams won the long jump with a distance of 5.69 meters.
Winston-Salem State's Dedricka Thomas and Bowie State's Brelyn Finley were the co-MVPs of the field events. Thomas won the triple jump with a leap of 12.08 meters and Finley won the shot put with a throw of 12.74 meters.
Need To Know
• Dustin Emerick of Southern Indiana finished 28th at the 2010 NCAA Division II outdoor national meet with a time of 32:13.30 in the 10,000 meter run.
It was one of the high points of his career, but the junior took his talents to another level earlier this month in the Elite Invitational race at the Mt. SAC Relays in California, running the ninth fastest time in DII history, crossing the line in 28:41.62. The time is a school record as well.
"I was really proud to run well in a college meet and do it in a USI uniform." Emerick said. "I knew I was capable of breaking 29 minutes, but it came as a surprise to run it as fast as I did."

new: kiehl's ultra facial 3 step kit.
kiehl's - known for their high quality, effective skincare - has introduced the 3 step ultra facial kit. kits include ultra facial cleanser, ultra facial toner and ultra facial cream; everything skin needs to get through winter.
this is the kit i would take with me to aspen, if i was ever going to such a place. i imagine it being the most soothing thing on windburned skin; it's gentle but moisture-filled. i've been using the kit on my dull, dry winter skin - and loving the results. my favorite step is the ultra facial cleanser, it's hard to find the perfect mild cleanser that removes makeup without drying the skin.
the entire 3 piece set sells for just $26(!) at kiehls' stores and www.kiehls.com. also available in an oil-free version for the acne prone. both kits are infused with squalane, kiehl's iconic ingredient; a botanical liquid that helps skin hold moisture.

American Idol's Lauren Alaina Lost Her Voice During Rehearsal
Good news for Scotty McCreery?
It's a nightmare for any singer, but especially one who's supposed to compete in a televised singing competition: American Idol finalist Lauren Alaina was struggling with her voice on Tuesday afternoon, and was reportedly unable to finish her three songs in rehearsal. During the rehearsal, explained Idol's in-house doctor, "Lauren blew out one of her vocal chords. We gave her a lot of medicines ... and she's going to do great." Alaina, up onstage, looked less than convinced. [NYDN]

Hehehehe – Poor Dan.
I think this would be just the right moment for Dan to "discover" Yoga, Pilates and (gasp!) Ballet as something that he and all over-tight macho men should routinely incorporate in their exercise regimes. It would need someone of his mana to cut through all the "sissy" associations that still persist with these mostly feminine pursuits but the savings in ACC and the increase in our sporting silverware would be huge. Jockey could even market a new line of Yoga, Pilates or Ballet briefs for the Metrosexual 2.0 Male.
Can you get a groin injury from too tight undies?
Not too much going on in the world these days,then,Brian?
BE: Well, I don't think you need to be serious every hour or every day of every week. And I'm told that the Rugby World Cup is considered by most Kiwis to be something 'going on in the world' these days.
Seeing that pic brings on the urge do 'go down' on my hands and knees.
Suzy Q
You are a worry.
I had a vision in a dream last night, which even in the cold hard light of sobriety, might bring about a wonderful sense of community and caring for this nation of ours in these difficult times. It would also I think have considerable resonance for a great number of women folk around the country, (perhaps even Judy too) and also for some 5 to 10% of men folk among us.
What I propose is, that since young Dan is currently indisposed and at a loose end, we take him on a tour of New Zealand and encourage all the caring and wonderful women folk of the districts… plus those sensitive men who feel a similar empathy, to come forth and lay their healing hands on Dan's groin and see if their healing powers might miraculously make him rise Lazarus like once more from his current predicament to rejoin the team. What ever the outcome it would produce many smiling faces among the participants.
We could even involve the Sceptics Society and run a control group where by the visually impaired could be encouraged to lay their hands on Michael Laws, or Don Brash to see what the effect might be. I hasten to add this control group concept was not in my original vision.
I admit the idea is hazy at this stage and welcome feedback before I submit it to Mr Mc Cully for funding…..
BE: An absolutely wonderful idea, Richard. Though I'm not entirely sure how Dan's partner will feel about it. And then there's the Singing Detective syndrome to worry about.
@ Richard S. Not such a good idea because it reeks of blasphemy, offending those of the Faith who are already uncomfortable by Carter being treated as a god-like figure.
Old-fashioned remedies are the best. I volunteer myself to be his surrogate mother:
Mummy will kiss it and make it better.

Think while you shoot/Rant in E-Minor/Creationism
"You ever noticed how people who believe in Creationism look really unevolved? You ever noticed that? Eyes real close together, eyebrow ridges, big furry hands and feet. "I believe God created me in one day" Yeah, looks like He rushed it."
Bill Hicks
"Think while you shoot"
Martin Munkácsi
Munkácsi was a newspaper writer and photographer in Hungary, specializing in sports. At the time, sports action photography could only be done in bright light outdoors. Munkácsi's innovation was to make sports photographs as meticulously composed action photographs, which required both artistic and technical skill.
Munkácsi's legendary big break was to happen upon a fatal brawl, which he photographed. Those photos affected the outcome of the trial of the accused killer, and gave Munkácsi considerable notoriety. That notoriety helped him get a job in Berlin in 1928, for the Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung, where his first published photo was a race car splashing its way through a puddle. He also worked for the fashion magazine Die Dame.
More than just sports and fashion, he photographed Berliners, rich and poor, in all their activities. He traveled to Turkey, Sicily, Egypt, London, New York, and famously Liberia, for photo spreads in the Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung.
The speed of the modern age and the excitement of new photographic viewpoints enthralled him, especially flying. There are aerial photographs; there are air-to-air photographs of a flying school for women; there are photographs from a Zeppelin, including the ones on his trip to Brazil, where he crosses over a boat whose passengers wave to the airship above.
On March 21, 1933, he photographed the fateful "Day of Potsdam", where the aged President Paul von Hindenburg handed Germany over to Adolf Hitler. On assignment for the Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung, he photographed Hitler's inner circle, ironically because he was a Jew and a foreigner.
In 1934, the Nazis nationalized the Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung, fired its Jewish editor-in-chief, Kurt Korff, and replaced its innovative photography with pictures of German troops.
Munkácsi left for New York, where he signed on, for a substantial $100,000, with Harper's Bazaar, a top fashion magazine. Innovatively, he often left the studio to shoot outdoors, on the beach, on farms and fields, at an airport. He produced one of the first articles illustrated with nude photographs in a popular magazine.
His portraits include Katharine Hepburn, Leslie Howard, Jean Harlow, Joan Crawford, Jane Russell, Louis Armstrong, and the definitive dance photograph of Fred Astaire.
Munkácsi died in poverty and controversy. Several universities and museums declined to accept his archives, and they were scattered around the world.

text: The University of Arkansas Athletics Department is recognizing current Razorback administrators and coaches as part of a series celebrating Black History Month on ArkansasRazorbacks.com. Throughout the month of February, individuals will be featured on the web site for their contributions to the University of Arkansas, the Razorback program and society. This marks the fifth year Razorback Athletics has celebrated Black History Month with a special features series on ArkansasRazorbacks.com. This year's list includes Razorback administrators Eric A. Wood, Bryon Hatch, Marcus Sedberry and Marvin Caston along with coaches Melvin Watkins (men's basketball), Tari Cummings (women's basketball), Chris Johnson (women's track and field and Randy Shannon (football). Student-athletes are not only judged by what they can do on the field. Character, sportsmanship and off the field talents can take many athletes farther in life than their athletic abilities. One of the people in the University of Arkansas athletic department that lives his life to shape athletes off the field so that their future will be brighter when their playing days are over is Eric Wood. Wood is the associate athletic director and he oversees academics and student-athlete development. Throughout his life he has picked up on various tools and lessons that he hopes to pass on to the young Razorbacks that he now mentors. Wood started his journey at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn., earning his degree in psychology. He was a three year starter at cornerback for the Pioneer football team earning the Medal of Merit, the athletic department's highest honor as the student-athlete of the year, in his senior year. Wood wanted to become a football coach and he wanted to continue his education. He ventured on to Clemson University, where he completed his master's degree in counseling and guidance services. After Clemson, Wood decided that coaching was not in his future and he wanted to start a career in athletics education and he set his goal of working in a Division I office. "I realized that I wanted to work in higher education after college," Wood said. "I was fortunate enough to get a graduate assistantship during my graduate years at Clemson and this led to a position at Wake Forest." The young man continued to Wake Forest and this started his life in compliance. He worked for a little over a year for the Demon Deacons in their compliance office and eventually ended up at the Atlantic Coast Conference, as the director for student-athlete programs and compliance. It was at the ACC that Wood found his desire to help student-athletes. "When I got to the ACC, I started to evolve," Wood said. "I found my passion for working with student-athletes one-on-one. When I got the opportunity to come to Arkansas, I jumped at it so that I could focus on just that part of the job." Wood took a position with the Razorbacks as the Assistant Athletic Director for Student-Athlete Development in November 2009. He was responsible for the oversight of the life skills and career development programs that contribute to the personal growth and character development of our 460 Razorback student-athletes. "I wanted to build on what Marvin Caston had started," Wood said. "What I have found, is that when I live my life to empower other people, it always works." Normally, this would be enough of a challenge for anyone in Wood's position, but he wanted to challenge himself even more. He applied for the NCAA's Leadership Institute for Ethnic Minority Males and Females, He graduated from the program in 2009 and is currently serving a 4 year term as the chair of the NCAA Student Athlete Affairs Group and a member of the Division I-A Athletic Director's Student Task Force. "For me it was another way to grow professionally and personally," Wood said. "My colleagues hold me accountable and we encourage each other. While I was there I got some great experience on budgeting, being a supervisor and managing conflicts." All of these issues will help Wood reach his ultimate goal of one day becoming an athletic director. Wood also wants to reach out to minority students as well as all students in his pursuit to better student-athletes. "The way I can reach out to minority students is by the way I live my life," Wood said. "While I am here for all student athletes, being a person of color myself, I make sure that I invest in them and empower them. That is how I ended up in this field." He is still challenging himself and is currently working on his Doctorate in Recreation and Sport Management at the University of Arkansas in the College of Education and Health Professions. He hopes to one day be an athletic director and would like to learn along the way. "I have a passion for education," Wood said. "For me it is a life-long learning process."

If Hillary Clinton has come close to making a decision about running for president in 2016, she is keeping it so close to the vest–or the pantsuit–that even her inner circle doesn't know.
In yet another will she/won't she run piece, the The Washington Post reports that rumors from Hillary Clinton's inner circle are nonexistent at this point.
The Post's Chris Cillizza reports that "no one in her real inner circle is talking–meaning that she almost certainly hasn't made the final go/no-go decision."
This is unusual because it is rare that rumors from those well-worn "unnamed sources" haven't by now ladled out at least some news, dubious or no, from a candidate's inner circle.
For Mrs. "Inevitability," this is all pretty telling, analysts think.
Cillizza also points out that no other candidate has yet emerged who might overshadow Clinton, as Barack Obama already had by this point in the campaign. Everyone assumes that the nomination is hers for the taking. Cillizza says, "The only person who could keep Clinton from being the party's nominee would be Clinton herself."
The columnist then identified other candidates who could run, especially if Clinton decides not to. Such possibilities as Vice President Joe Biden, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren all figure prominently as "second tier" candidates under Clinton.
One thing is sure: it takes some time to build a nationwide ground game for a presidential election, and the longer Clinton tarries, the harder it will be for someone else to gear up for a run. But Clinton does seem to have a campaign-machine-in-waiting if those running "Ready For Hillary" PAC can transition from PAC to campaign staff.
Ready For Hillary PAC has claimed that some Hillary supporters are "teaming up with top Obama campaign veterans to build a national grassroots army" to flog her candidacy. So the group isn't remaining idle.
But important questions about Clinton's health still haven't been fully answered. Recently, Bill Clinton issued a startling report stating that it took six months for his wife to recover from a blood clot to the brain in 2012.
