ride what you've got; enjoy the ride!
Reid - Stone Ridge, NY - BMWMOA #69187 - Turbo Fluffy Motoclub - IBA #50182
Have had this LT for right at 2 years now. Have put 34,200 miles on it in that time. Not that many but I have 2 other bikes, an '02 GL-1800 with a little over 71,000 miles and an '09 KLR-650 with 14,xxx that's been on the TAT into north central OK from Valdosta up to Jellico, TN where the trail starts. This trailer, an '07 Hannigan Europa II was originally color matched to the champagne colored GL, but since finding the LT we ride that the most and I finally just had it painted to match the LT last year. Pulls so nice on the bike with the Dauntless hitch that you don't know it's there.
Second picture was recently taken Oct 8, 2012 just a couple of weeks before Sandy hit the East coast. I was on back roads in West Virginia coming back from a 13 state trip to pick up my last 5 states in the North East of Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Riding through Philadelphia and then into New Jersey and finally New York and over the George Washington Bridge early in the evening. Quite a sight.
76 years old and gittin' younger
'99 K1200LT w/color matched Hannigan Europa II Trailer
This is my 1990 K 75 RT and my 1978 R 80/7 They have been sleeping together for awhile and seem to be a happy couple.
Picked up last month, lots of fun on the freeway last week. Haven't been able to get to the canyons yet.
Thanksgiving Day in Oklahoma. A fantastic 80 degrees
Took a ride up to Skiatook lake north of Tulsa to test all of my recent wrenching and tuning.

Lee, But it's not painted red. You still like it? Personally, I think yellow is great color for a K75,but I don't care for the factory yellow very much.
Not the best picture, but here is my silver '95.
Current Ride: 1995 K75 Standard
Past: 1978 Yamaha XS 750, 1976 BMW R60/6
Hey Lynn; Be aware that Lee only likes Marrakesh Red and Dakar Yellow! When I got rid of that scrambled-egg yellow on my bike in favor of a Mercedes Steel Grey Metallic and polished out a lot of the aluminum he never stop chiding me about it.
No worries, though; it's a small price to pay for all of his helpfulness and K knowledge here.
I like your silver K and that chromed heat shield really adds a nice touch, too!
ex: K75S Berlina R100GS/PD , K100RS , R75/5 , R60/2
I knew that Lee liked Marrakesh Red, but did not know he enjoys banana slug yellow K bikes. From what I understand, Dakar Yellow is a North America only color.
It is nice to know that someone else likes silver Flying Bricks. I wanted a white, blue or silver bike with a low seat and three spoke wheels. This bike had all the bells and whistles that I would have added and then some. What are the chances of finding a 17 year old bike that is exactly what you want?
I have been told that the chrome heat shield is not very common. Just one more thing I have to polish.

Scrambled egg yellow? Banana slug yellow? Tough guys like silver huh?
Expect The Unexpected
When my wife saw a Dakar Yellow bike like yours, she nicknamed it Daffodil. Personally, I would not want to be seen on a K bike named Daffodil, or Buttercup, or any other flower. Is your bike named after a flower?
If I rode a bike the color of egg yokes, I would always be hungry and just ride from Denny's to Denny's and then on to the closest burger joint, etc.
After a short time, I would weigh more than the bike was designed to handle. Then I might have to do something rash, like purchase a boxer.
Actually, I think K75's look sharp in the color yellow. Orange too. I just don't like the pastel yellow that the factory picked for the bikes.

Such a strong response to a given color seems to have a physiological order attached. There is a Munsell color test on line you can take to check for color blindness in any given hue
Expect The Unexpected
The main reasons I bought it despite the color were it had all the features/options I wanted, the mileage was low and it appeared to be in pristine condition. There weren't too many nice K75Ss for sale around that time, either.
I also thought that the yellow might be a bit brighter in person than in the photos I had seen on IBMWR. Flew from Hawaii to Georgia to make the buy and ride back to the West Coast for shipment.
That all went well and when we uncrated the bike near the port in Hawaii my wife immediately changed it's name to "Chiquita" and I agreed that that was a tad better than riding around on a Dafodil.
I also agree with your comment about yellow for a bike; a much brighter shade such as seen on Porsches or my Nolan helmet would have been great; but alas, those in the design department at BMW chose that yucky pastel instead. Perhaps it has some significance in Senegal but I don't know, never been to Dakar or any other part of that country so I can't say.
I used to have a Mercedes 280SE 4.5 that was silver, an Alfa Romeo Spyder that was silver and when I bought my '85 K100RS off the showroom floor I almost bought the silver one parked next to the Red Metallic one that I finally decided on. I think silver and grey are very cool, especially on Teutonic machines such as ours. (but that Rot Metallik was hot!)
While it took me a while to actually strip the tank down to bare aluminum and polish it out, get the rest of the bike painted in Mercede's Tenoritgrau (steel gray) at least the only scrambled egg color around my house was on my breakfast plate thereafter.
Here's the before and after shots so it can be seen how much I wanted to change the color:
(but before I go let me also add that I'm a strong believer in "To each his own" and I don't mean to step on Slipster's or anyone elses toes here. But Dakar Yellow or anything close is simply not my cup of tea.)
and now BERLINA
ex: K75S Berlina R100GS/PD , K100RS , R75/5 , R60/2
Nice job Zag. Do you have any glare hassles coming off the tank on a sunny day? Glint though would be good to be seen by cagers which is why I like high contrast colors on bikes.

ESPN draft czar Mel Kiper has the perfect choice for the Cowboys with their first-round pick -- Florida safety Reggie Nelson.
The Cowboys draft No. 22 and Nelson could be in their sights as a possible fix-it guy for their coverage issues. Maybe Cowboys fans should hope Nelson has only mediocre workouts because he could climb out of their reach if he impresses at the combine.
``He can be an ideal fit for the Dallas Cowboys,'' Kiper said on a national conference call Wednesday. ``Nelson is such a great cover guy, so instinctive. He would be a great fit for Dallas to be next to Roy Williams, who's in the box and a tough, hard-nosed safety.''
Nelson, a junior, is 5-foot-11 and 198 pounds with hard-hitting ability elite coverage skills. (It's possible to do both?)
If the Cowboys pick Nelson, it could be a sign they have pretty much given up on Patrick Watkins (fifth-round pick last year) being the starter after one year.
Kiper also said Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson could drop some jaws during his workouts. Kiper also noted that Texas cornerback Aaron Ross will be the highest Longhorn drafted.

Bradley Cooper: I Don't Drink or Do Drugs Anymore
Us Weekly -- Bradley Cooper partied hard in two "Hangover" films -- something he was all too familiar with in his 20s.
Appearing on the cover of the Sept. 14 issue of The Hollywood Reporter, the "Words" actor, now 37, opens up about his decision to get sober at age 29. "I don't drink or do drugs at all anymore," the actor reveals. "Being sober helps a great deal."
PHOTOS: Celebrities with addiction issues
At one of his lowest points, Cooper recalls, "I was at a party and deliberately bashed my head on the concrete floor -- like, 'Hey, look how tough I am!' And I came up, and blood dripped down. And then I did it again. I spent the night at St. Vincent's Hospital with a sock of ice, waiting for them to stitch me up."
PHOTOS: Memorable star meltdowns
Cooper attributes his problems with drugs and alcohol to feeling insecure as he struggled to kick-start his acting career. "I was so concerned what you thought of me, how I was coming across, how I would survive the day. I always felt like an outsider," he explains.
"I just lived in my head. I realized I wasn't going to live up to my potential, and that scared the hell out of me. I thought, 'Wow, I'm actually gonna ruin my life; I'm really gonna ruin it.'"
PHOTOS: Bradley Cooper's love life
Though friends attempted to help Cooper realize he had a problem, "Part of me believed it, and part of me didn't," he tells The Hollywood Reporter. "But the proof was in the pudding: I'd always gotten up at the crack of dawn, and that was out the window. I remember looking at my life, my apartment, my dogs, and I thought, 'What's happening?'"
"The Words" is in theaters on Friday.
Bradley Cooper Romance Retrospective


text: Hey everybody! It's been quite a while since I've done any updates on my Star Trek project, so I figured I should let anybody who's interested know about some of the stuff that's been going on lately. I will update this thread periodically with progress and fun stuff to look at. Some of you who frequent this forum might remember it, "Star Trek: Triton", which started out as an animated film idea and for reasons I probably shouldn't get into has morphed into something else entirely; A live-action film project based in Ottawa Canada. Here's the basic rundown from our current bible draft: -------------------------------------------- In 1994, Star Trek was at an all-time high in it's now over 45 year history. The immensely popular Next Generation series finished on a high note with incredible ratings and a barrage of awards recognition, then continued on to release a successful major motion picture. Its spin-off series, Deep Space Nine, had been retooled for a third season and began exploring exciting new creative directions. On top of all that, a new series, Voyager, had begun production and was set to launch at the end of the year. Triton is, in some ways, a period piece. Our intent is to celebrate and pay homage to that time when the Star Trek franchise was at its peak, while pushing the boundaries with what can be done in low-budget hobby film-making. -------------------------------------------- The idea is that everybody and their dog are doing amazing Original Series films, and my team and I want to do the same for The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager. We're planning our first shoot for September, which will just be a simple short scene with two actors and one set. Since all of my experience is in directing animation the hope is that this will give us a good idea of what kind of production challenges we'll face before we tackle a larger piece. I'll be posting some updates soon so stay tuned!

Kakashis kamui is even stronger than when he was able to kamui the hachibi. This is what will be the last step in shukakus plan. Kakashi will kamui the juubi, and obito wont be able to kamui it back due to his ms not being that strong, without narutos chakra of course.
Even if obito tries to go intangeble the juubi would rip him apart in the other dimension.
This will be what defeats obito and the juubi.
Even if not, the kamui will play a role. There wouldnt be 2 pages on kakashi saying how muh stronger his kamui is even since he kamuied the hachibi.
Obito wont last long if he cant go intageble. He either dies by juubi in other dimension or dies by shinobis hands.

"No tools, no holes!"
By johnion from Coatesville, PA
My wife and I bought these to install on our windows with vinyl returns. We wanted internal mounted shades but didn't want to have to drill into the vinyl. Simple fit shades were the solution! Installation was simple and the shades can easily be removed and rehung anytime. Just be sure to take accurate measurements for a perfect fit.View this product

text: Hey, so I recently just started playing tennis again after a pretty bad shoulder injury and thought I could upgrade my racket :twisted:. I've been looking into a couple of different rackets but can't really make up my mind. I currently play with a Babolat Pure Drive Roddick GT. I'd prefer a lighter racket (not tooooo light, 11.8oz strung is probably good), 95-100 head size (probably prefer 98-100, but i'm open to 95). I hit with a pretty good amount of topspin, and my forehand is my biggest shot. I'd like to improve my volleying and keep my serve consistent. Also, I recently switched to a 1H backhand, if that helps (1H backhand feels so natural). I probably hit around 4.0-4.5 right now, but i'm steadily improving. Any recommendations would be helpful! Thanks!

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
I enjoyed listening to the characters. You became so involved with each character and how they were feeling while listening to the audio version it made you feel as if you were there. I worked in my office I found myself being helped by the advice being given in the book.
When Rebecca realizes it's in giving up what was most precious to her in order to hear God clearly she was trying to hold onto what she wanted and after obeying God she was receiving the blessings and peace in her life. The book was exciting and had me captivated and looking for the next book. I loved this book.
The reader had so much expression and did so well with discovering a voice for each of the characters that you could tell who was speaking while listening. I listen to a lot of audio books and this was one of the best.
A lesson in love and giving up of yourself and your needs for others and learning how to find your way back in your marriage when you have both been very hurt. Love and forgiveness is the key to restoring broken relationships.
"Great Amish reading"
I love the humbleness of the Amish. I know this is fiction, but I really desire to be more humble and rely on God more and more. I love the scripture that is constantly quoted.
A whole lot. I want to read more and more about the Amish.
Yes, to a large degree. I got just a little tired of the relationships going back and forth, but it certainly did not keep me from going on with the book.
I did not like the narration at all. Emphasis was almost nil. When someone would be in a tramatic situation, as when the girls godmother would speak, the narration just didn't meet the situation at all. I was "oh really"....I felt there should have been more dramatics in her voice/output. Was not happy at all with the narration of just this one book.
Just a great series.
"Good Read."
Good story. I love Amish books. I really enjoyed this one. Did not want the story to end. A pleasure to drive and listen. It is like watching a movie in your head while you listen. Good Job.
"i liked it"
it was a little unbelievable but at the same time brought the thinking of two different worlds togather the division and decisions were believable the story kept my attention and it was not just another amish love story
"First but not last."
This was my first book by this author. There were a lot of twists and turns keeping my interest. I would recommend this book, reader and author to everyone.
"Great Book!"
My only problem was trying to stay awake while listening to the story. It totally relaxes me to listen to someone read and this lady reading is awesome!
"Enjoyable Series"
Yes, I would listen again. This is a series that keeps your attention and is not hard to picture.
Rebekah was my favorite character. She showed such faith and endurance.
I think I like the part when Jessica met Jake the best
Learning to live Amish
This book was the fourth author of Amish books I've read so a first time author for me. It was engaging and interesting although not quite as intriguing as the Cindy Woodsmall and Beverly Lewis books. This might have been better if it was the first book set in Amish lands I'd listened to. I wonder why Amish books always seems to be set in Lancasster County, PA? I know it must be the center of the Amish world. But, there are Amish in southern Iowa, where I grew up, and no one writes books set there. But Amish books are like Hallmark movies, which I like, and show a good, simple way of life with good values and give us life lessons that we could all live by, if we just would. I don't believe I could take the Amish way of life but I do find it interesting. With every Amish book I read I keep realizing that beneath that Old Way veneer there are people just like the rest of us with hopes and reams, they are human beings, too .
"I wanted to like it"
I really wish I could say this was a better book. I just feel like the writing was very repetitive, almost like the author was just filling space to make the book longer. I did not like the way it was narrated at all. Unfortunately, I will avoid any more books by this author and this narrator. I hope to find a similar Amish series that will be more satisfying for me. I did love the spiritual aspect though and overall found it was uplifting and positive.
"A Gift of Grace"
Fabulous story!

Got a call from my friend and he wanted me to take him fishing for his birthday, had U-verse guys coming to install today but had to make a call for someone else to watch the house while i tended to some business, so i went fishing. Took my friends boat out and headed out of sandsprint with tons of perfect sized mullet and pinfish. We headed out to bullshark in hopes for some good baits and offshore actions but couldnt get bait and a bumpy ride we opted to stay inside the inlet. We headed to some some spots a captain friend wanted to share with me that was inside the inlet and set up anchor their. We were in snook mode and started casting. Started off catching a few 5lb jacks that were chasing mullet schools then my friends drag screams! Its screams for a while and then screams more when it got closer to the boat and we started to see a fish but with the water black visability was zero but then saw the tail of the fish nd we shouted REDFISH!!!! in the boat the fish went. FAT 30in redfish but was over slot and relesed right away after measure. Did it again and same thing reel screaming and in the boat came a 27in redfish, kept it. I let my line out and bam almost instantly i get hooked up using super light tackle and a 15 min fight in the boat came another 27 inch redfish golden red/brown with bright blue tail. My friends turn and soon as the it hits bottom BAM reel screaming action again and land and release a 26in redfish....Long story short we catch 2 more over slot redfish to release and moved on for something different. We went to another area and started hooking up on some slot snook and released them as we had better dinner in the boat already. We catch a few mangrove snapper to 2-3 lbs and then we figured to call it quits. We were using various live baits and hooks to match them and bottom/middle/topwater action with the baits. Awesome day but ocean was to rough to play offshore.
--My friends birthday redfish--

--Total length pinched tail was just at 27in--

Moore: Ex-Cowboy Allen talks of family, thanks Triplets, Deion in HOF speech
CANTON, Ohio - Larry Allen can no longer be known as a man of few words.
Not after an enshrinement speech that hit all of the right notes. Not after revealing more about himself in 16 minutes Saturday night than he did in 12, dominant years as an offensive lineman with the Cowboys.
Allen's Hall of Fame speech, written with the help of his oldest daughter, Jayla Lee, had warmth and humor. At times, when he spoke of his family, it was poignant. He walked the fine line between pride and humility and pulled it off.
"I played hard, whistle to whistle, to make my opponents submit,'' Allen said near the end of his speech. "Today, I'm submitting to you.''
There are now 14 Cowboys with their busts in Canton. Seven others with ties to the star are in the hall but associated with different franchises. That includes Bill Parcells, who delivered his speech moments after Allen was done.
Allen acknowledged early in his speech that he didn't talk much during his career. "I didn't have to,'' he said. "I used my helmet.''
A shy individual who spoke for 13 seconds when he was inducted in the Cowboys Ring of Honor then took everyone in the stadium and watching at home on a touching ride.
It began with the woman he calls his heart and soul, his wife, Janelle.
"On our first date, she cooked for me,'' Allen said. "She cooked me two chickens, french fries, baked me a cake and gave me a 40-ounce.
"I knew then that was my wife right there.''
Allen wore sunglasses to hide tears. He would rub his hands together when cracking a joke and rub his nose and face when emotion threatened to overtake him.
He spoke about how his mother pushed him to never back down and his father taught him to get even, not mad. He remembered how his grandmother, Berkeley Dotson, sat him down at the age of 14 and told him to find something he could be good at and go do it.
"I think I did that, Granny,'' he said.
Jerry Jones presented Allen as he has other stars from those Super Bowl teams of the 1990s. In his video tribute, the Cowboys owner called Allen the most dominant interior offensive lineman in the history of the NFL.
Jones called Allen on that April night back in 1994 and asked the lineman out of Sonoma State if he would like to be a Cowboy. Allen said yes sir. He then ran out of his apartment and jumped into the swimming pool with his clothes on.
Allen mentioned the four Hall of Famers - Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith and Deion Sanders - he played with during his Cowboys career. He thanked Sanders, "who showed me it was all right to be the best.''
He asked the Hall of Famer he grew up watching in Los Angeles, Jackie Slater, to stand. He thanked former Cowboys offensive line coach Hudson Houck and others who had a profound impact on his career.
The night before his speech, at a dinner for the class of 2013, Joe Horrigan of the Hall of Fame staff brought up a story about how he loved to watch Allen go against another legend in Reggie White.
"I have never been dominated like that before in my life,'' Allen said of one of his encounters against the Green Bay pass rusher. "So I got in that weight room and became the strongest man in the NFL.
"I did it naturally, all right. What's funny is once I benched 700 pounds, they (NFL) tested me twice a week for the rest of my career.''
A career that took him to this small town less than 60 miles outside of Cleveland, a town that welcomes the NFL's best for eternity.
"My goal was simple, to earn a seven-letter world called respect,'' Allen said. "The respect of my teammates, opponents and the NFL.
"Today, my mission is complete.''

Buddha said that among male layfollowers Hatthaka of Alavi and Citta are to be emulated.SarathW wrote:I posted the same question, in another Buddhist forum about two years ago without knowing that Tiger Woods was a Buddhist and he was meditating as a very young child. If I am not wrong, I think that he played 18 hole golf at par at the age of five.
I think that most of prominent players win in Olympics, tennis (mainly Abrahamic Religions) must have attain some form of Jhana (keeping aside drug abuse). Even cricket players such as Muralitharan (Hindu religion), Shane Warn may come under this category.
Unfortunately most of these people did not support their attainment with following Dharma. In his public apology to his family Tiger Woods stated that fall of his fame is due to failing to follow the Five Precepts.
What are your thoughts?
Here is a link to Citta Samyutta, Connected Discourses of the Buddha Chapter 41.
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka ... .html#sn41
Attaining Jhana is supported by study and the practice of meditation. I think a similee could be made about how carefully a skilled golf player hits the ball, and how a practicioner practices mindfulness and clear awareness about his actions.
About the apology here is Buddha's formula on accepting an apology. Since you ackowledge the offence and confess it we shall accept it. For he who ackowleges his offence and makes amends as is right by undertaking restraint for the future will grow in the Noble Dhamma and Discipline.

Avila starts behind plate in Game 6 for Tigers
Catcher back in lineup after injuring left knee during collision on Thursday night
By T.R. Sullivan and Jason Beck / MLB.com
BOSTON -- Catcher Alex Avila was back in the Tigers' starting lineup for Game 6 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday night.
Avila had to come out of Game 5 in the fourth inning on Thursday night with a strained patellar tendon in his left knee. But Tigers manager Jim Leyland announced Saturday afternoon that Avila felt ready to play.
"He's ready," Leyland said. "He feels pretty good. I don't think it will be any kind of a drawback."
Avila injured the knee in a collision at home plate with David Ross, the Red Sox catcher who was trying to score on a ground ball with the infield in. Avila stayed in the game for two more innings before coming out. He was replaced by Brayan Pena.
Avila said before Game 6 that he took medication to calm the inflammation and felt significant improvement.
"Compared to two days ago, I'm good," he said.
Avila said the injury is comparable to the patellar issues he suffered down the stretch during the 2011 season, eventually leading to both knees bothering him during the playoffs. He struggled to hit that postseason because he couldn't generate enough power in his swing through his legs.
Leyland's main concern is Avila starting the game and having to come out because of the knee.
"If you can't go, that's all right," Leyland said. "The one thing you don't want to have is have him start the game and then take him out in the second or third inning."
The knee is the only issue with Avila at this point. Leyland confirmed that Avila underwent tests for a possible concussion Thursday after taking a foul tip off the front of his mask, but tested fine.
"They gave him all the symptoms tests without going to the hospital," Leyland said.
Leyland also said Doug Fister could be available in relief Saturday -- and Sunday, if the series goes seven games. Fister started Game 4 on Wednesday night.
"But if we need a long man, we're in trouble," Leyland said.

PART 1: NFL comparisons: Ramsey, Fuller PART 2: NFL comparisons: Green, Browne | PART 3: NFL comparisons: Bigelow, Treadwell
PART 4: NFL comparisons: Lawson, Smith
The close of the evaluation period for the Class of 2013 produced few changes at the top of the Rivals100, but as the players jockeyed for position, the Rivals.com team of analysts saw the highlights and lowlights of each prospect.
Generally, the most difficult aspect of ranking players is making comparisons and projections, but it is the task most asked of analysts. With just days left until National Signing Day, the Rivals.com team broke down the best of the best by comparing them to players on the NFL level.
Each day, there has been a breakdown of two players from the Top 10 of the Rivals100.
No. 2 Vernon Hargreaves III, cornerback, Tampa (Fla.) Wharton
Vernon Hargreaves IIIClick THE HARGREAVES FILEHere to view this Link.
Position: Cornerback
Height: 5-foot-11
Weight: 185
Vernon Hargreaves III videosClick High school: Tampa (Fla.) WhartonHere to view this Link.
Attributes: 5-foot-11, 185 pounds
Top schools: Committed to Florida
NFL comparison: Joe Haden, Cleveland Browns
Tale of the Tape: The pair are listed at the same height, and Haden has about 10 pounds on the youngster. The look of the two on the field, with the slumped-over approach, is eerily similar, adding to the comparison. Both are lockdown players who can play on an island without worry.
When we last saw him: The Florida pledge took home MVP honors for Team Highlight at the Under Armour All-America Game. Hargreaves led the team in tackles with five and added a tackle for loss and an interception. In perhaps the day's top skill-position matchup, he got the best of fellow five-star Laquon Treadwell on a couple of occasions. On the first battle, he was beaten by Treadwell on a fade route and he recovered nicely with his elite speed and ball skills to pry the ball away for an incompletion. On another play, Treadwell caught a short pass and had room to operate for a big gain before Hargreaves closed downhill and made a spectacular open-field tackle. The lockdown corner made an argument for the top cornerback in the country with his showing, and in Rivals.com rankings meetings he took home the top billing in a group of great cornerbacks.
Analyst's take: "Hargreaves has the ability to lock down one side of the field and allow the defense to do a lot more around him. They are similarly sized and have similar instincts, so it is a natural comparison with Haden being one of the top corners in the league and Vernon being our top corner at this level. The thing that makes Hargreaves a step above the rest is that he is a coach's son and really understands how to study the game. He knows how to bait quarterbacks and he has tremendous ball skills and natural ability, but by complementing that with his work ethic and knowledge, he is a very versatile and dangerous player." -- Kynon Codrington, Rivals.com Southeast analyst.
No. 1 Robert Nkemdiche, defensive end, Loganville (Ga.) Grayson
Robert NkemdicheClick THE NKEMDICHE FILEHere to view this Link.
Position: Defensive end
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 250
Robert Nkemdiche videosClick High school: Loganville (Ga.) Grayson Here to view this Link.
Attributes: 6-foot-5, 260 pounds,
NFL comparison: Jared Allen, Minnesota Vikings
Tale of the tape: Allen is one inch taller and 10 pounds heavier, but Nkemdiche has played heavier than his listed weight and can add to his frame without issue. The beauty of each player's game is the tenacity and speed at which they go, and watching the tape side-by-side it is like watching the same player.
When we last saw him: Even though his final stats from the Under Armour All-America Game weren't earth-shattering, Nkemdiche made it clear during the week that he's going to be a force at the next level. It took two or three All-America-caliber players to slow him, and whenever he faced a one-on-one matchup he dominated. He's one of the strongest players in the class of 2013, and after an offseason weight program, Nkemdiche will be a scary proposition for most offensive linemen at the next level.
Analyst's take: "Just like Jared Allen in the NFL, he is going for the quarterback and unless you have a good plan to slow him down he will make it there. The uniqueness is that he is not just a pass rusher and can really help against the run while still commanding a double team or a scheme against him. Robert has all of the tools to develop into a star player, and as he showed at the Under Armour Game, even in a class of All-Americans, he commanded a double team and that is something you don't usually see. If his career follows that of Jared Allen's, I don't think anyone will look back and say his No. 1 ranking was unjustified." -- Woody Wommack, Rivals.com Southeast analyst.

Laetoli Footprints Out of Step with Evolution
by Brian Thomas, M.S. *
Something or someone supposedly walked across volcanic mud 3.66 million years ago, leaving behind footprints discovered in modern-day Laetoli, Tanzania.1 Many who think modern humans evolved only about two million years ago have resisted interpreting these as human prints, because they are found in sediments that are "too old."
But a new analysis is again challenging the evolutionary interpretation of these prints. Were the tracks made by man, ape…or something strangely in between?
Repeated examinations of the biomechanics required to make this famous set of tracks have consistently shown that they must have been made by something almost exactly identical to modern human feet. An exhaustive study published in 1990, for example, found the "footprint trails at Laetoli site G resemble those of habitually unshod modern humans."2 And a 2010 analysis similarly showed that the Laetoli track maker (or makers) "walked with weight transfer most similar to the economical extended limb bipedalism of humans."3
In a recent study published online in Journal of the Royal Society Interface, researchers compared impressions made by modern man and modern apes with the Laetoli tracks, finding "strong support to those previous studies which have interpreted the G-1 prints as generally modern in aspect."1 That is, the tracks looked like they were produced by modern human feet. Creation researcher John Mackay said, "If these footprints had been found on a beach today no-one would identify them as anything but human."4
If the tracks look like they were made by man, and if study after study repeatedly concludes that the tracks are indistinguishable from those of a human, then why are researchers still questioning their origin? The only reason is that these tracks are out of step with the evolutionary story.
If humans made these tracks, then all the textbooks will have to be re-written to say that humans evolved a million and a half years earlier in evolutionary "time." How embarrassing that would be, especially because these older layers contain fossils of the candidate ape forms from which modern man supposedly evolved. Many evolutionists will not consider that the Laetoli tracks were left by a fully developed Homo sapiens, since that would mean that modern man descended from an ape-like creature that existed after modern man was already alive and walking!
To continue to fit these footprints into an evolutionary scenario, it would seem that the tracks would have had to be made by a creature that was human from the waist down, but ape-like from the waist up. Evolutionary baggage, not scientific data, has forced this warped and imaginative interpretation, for which there is little or no scientific support. Extinct ape-like creatures collectively called australopiths are routinely invoked as the real Laetoli print makers, but none of these fossil forms show feet, legs, or hips the same size and shape as those of humans.
Australopiths were very likely able to "walk" on two legs (i.e., they were bipedal), but they were probably better-suited for living in trees. Their fossilized skeletal remains clearly show that they did not walk with the uniquely human gait that characterizes the Laetoli tracks. For example, one technical review of the subject stated:
Australopithecine bipedalism was more similar to the way a chimp would walk upright than it was to the way a human does….It appears as if they moved their pelvis and lower limbs differently than we do, waddling as they walked.5
Like the human foot bone found in australopith layers,6 the human Laetoli footprints show that modern humans did not evolve millions of years after the earth was formed, but instead have coexisted with animals from the start, including extinct animals like australopiths.
Thus, science is consistent with the views on human origins expressed by Christ the Creator, who said, "But from the beginning of the creation [not billions of years after the beginning of the creation] God made them male and female."7

"Deteriorating economic conditions and the rapid decline in the high-tech and other durable goods industries have increasingly affected FedEx Express volumes,"
"The situation has gravely deteriorated. It is precisely what can very dangerously inflame the sectarian situation."
"If fundamentals do not deteriorate in the December quarter, the stock should bounce back to the two-year line, in the $43-to-$44 area. If its outlook continues to improve, over the next six months we expect the stock to fill the gap in the $50-to-$55 area."
"Things will continue to deteriorate this year for earnings, ... Things are getting worse and they're likely to continue doing so. There's a chance we could have a recession in 1999."

Machine Head Unveil 'Killers & Kings' 2014 Tour
Machine Head are inching closer to a new record, and we just got another indication of that as the band has booked an 11-date trek for this summer. In a new posting, the group states that the 'Killers & Kings Tour' will serve as a "primer" for a larger trek to follow.
Frontman Robb Flynn explains in a new posting, "When we played the Mayhem festival last year, we decided to do some warm up dates beforehand to shake off the rust. We decided to book them into extremely small, intimate venues where we could put on a really intense show without our usual bells and whistles. These venues were in (what is known in the touring industry as) "B and C markets", (basically, not NY, LA, Chicago, Detroit, etc…). We played in Spokane, Portland, and Fresno, and the shows were so f—ing amazing, so f—ing hot and sweaty, so f—ing life affirming, and just so much g–damn FUN, as soon as we were done, we vowed that we had to do it again and go on tour in America hitting all the places that we rarely ever get to."
Flynn went on to explain some of the tour booking dynamics and how economics and the realities of a touring band factor in. He added, "As a band, Machine Head have always made the effort to re-invest in our band rather than pocket the money. We've done a lot of tours where we lost buttloads of cash, all in the name of giving our fans the best show of their lives. That is what is most important to us. And with that said, we're probably gonna lose some moolah doing this club run. But you know what? The way we look at it, this is also re-investing in our band, by investing in the most important thing we have, YOU! It's giving die-hard Machine Head fans, the Head Cases in the nooks and crannies of America, the places that are often starving for live music, something special and unforgettable."
The shows will take place in venues either rarely or never played before by the band, and they added that they'll invite local bands to join them in each city.
Unable to hide his excitement, Flynn adds, "Because this will be the first time that we've ever played a lot of these cities, we're not even sure if we HAVE fans there, but we believe we can break even!! So Head Cases, all that I ask of you, is that if you live in or near any of these cities, and are excited about Machine Head coming to your town on the Killers & Kings Tour… TELL PEOPLE!!"
Machine Head will play May 11 in Boone, Iowa at the Central Iowa Expo as part of LazerFest. They've also got a spot on the Scion Music Fest in Pomona, Calif. May 17 before taking off until July when the 'Killers & Kings Tour' really kicks into gear. See their full itinerary below.

Ten signature moments from Greg Maddux's career
By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com
Ten top moments from the career of Greg Maddux, who will enter the Hall of Fame on Sunday:
Sept. 7, 1986: Cubs 11, Reds 3 -- First Major League win with complete game vs. Cincinnati
Maddux's Major League debut was not glamorous -- he entered as a pinch-runner in the 17th inning before yielding the game-winning homer in the 18th against the Astros on Sept. 2 -- but he made up for it five days later. He scattered 11 hits and three walks while allowing three runs to pick up his first win in the big leagues.
April 5, 1993: Braves 1, Cubs 0 -- Opening Day gem beats Cubs in Atlanta debut
Opening Day at Wrigley Field. What did Maddux do? He shut out his former team for 8 1/3 innings. Maddux gave way to Mike Stanton after allowing two baserunners in the ninth, but it set the stage for his first season with Atlanta, during which he won 20 games, posted a 2.36 ERA and won the National League Cy Young Award.
May 28, 1995: Braves 3, Astros 1 -- Near no-hitter vs. Houston
This was the closest Maddux came to a no-hitter. He held the Astros hitless until Jeff Bagwell led off the eighth with a home run to left field, the only hit Houston collected that day. Maddux wound up with his only complete-game one-hitter (he also allowed one hit in a five-inning complete game on April 27, 1997). This was one of 10 complete games Maddux threw in 1995 en route to a fourth straight Cy Young Award.
Oct. 21, 1995: Braves 3, Indians 2 -- Two-hitter against Cleveland in his first World Series game
Maddux's third trip to the postseason resulted in his first trip to the World Series, and he didn't disappoint in Game 1. With two unearned runs -- one in the first, one in the ninth -- the only blemishes on his ledger, Maddux outdueled Orel Hershiser to give the Braves the win. Atlanta went on to win the Fall Classic in six games, Maddux's only ring in 23 seasons.
Oct. 21, 1996: Braves 4, Yankees 0 -- Eight scoreless innings against the Yankees in the World Series
A year to the day after he dominated the Indians, Maddux gave the Yankees similar treatment, this time in Game 2 of the World Series. He scattered six hits during eight scoreless innings, throwing just 82 pitches, to give Atlanta a 2-0 Series lead. Maddux held the meat of the Yanks' lineup -- Wade Boggs, Bernie Williams and Tino Martinez -- to a combined 1-for-12. New York, however, won the next four games to capture the Series.
Sept. 30, 1997: Braves 2, Astros 1 -- Complete game gets Braves started en route to Division Series sweep over Houston
Maddux ceded only a fifth-inning RBI single to the opposing pitcher, Darryl Kile, on his way to another brilliant postseason outing. This one was in Game 1 against the Astros. He allowed seven hits and struck out six in nine innings.
May 2, 2001: Braves 1, Brewers 0 -- Strikes out 14 in a two-hit shutout of the Brewers
In what many consider the best game he ever pitched -- it produced a game score of 96 -- Maddux struck out a career-high 14 batters in his first of three shutouts that season. Milwaukee managed only two hits and a walk. Maddux retired the final 13 batters, eight of them via strikeout.
Aug. 7, 2004: Cubs 8, Giants 4 -- 300th career win
The game and date represent an important milestone in Maddux's career, but the game itself was pretty unspectacular. Maddux lasted five innings, yielding four runs on seven hits while striking out three. He also walked three, one of just two occasions he walked that many in a game that season. "Obviously, to win 300 games, you've got to have a lot of help," Maddux said afterward. "I've played on a lot of good teams, and a lot of times, you're only as good as the guys behind you. Today was a good example."
May 10, 2008: Padres 3, Rockies 2 -- Win No. 350
In one of the highlights of his brief time with the Padres, Maddux held the Rockies to one unearned run to become only the ninth pitcher to record 350 wins. This one was much more Maddux-ian than No. 300. He allowed three hits, struck out one and walked none in six innings -- all on 68 pitches. Trevor Hoffman recorded the save, then gave Maddux the ball.
Sept. 27, 2008: Dodgers 2, Giants 1 -- Surpasses Clemens in regular-season swan song
With six innings of one-run ball, Maddux collected victory No. 355 to move past Roger Clemens and into sole possession of eighth place on the all-time wins list. It was the last of his 744 regular-season games, 740 of them starts. After three postseason relief appearances, Maddux retired in December, setting up a Hall of Fame induction with old friend Tom Glavine five years later.

CARSON, Calif. – Sunday's match will mark the first time that Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey has tussled since the U.S. captain joined Seattle Sounders FC back in August. But will the Sounders FC forward have the impact that was expected of him when he returned to MLS?
Even though Dempsey arrived in MLS with considerable hoopla, he's yet to score in eight appearances with the Sounders while also dealing with various injuries. Since Dempsey arrived, Sounders FC has earned mixed results with the club compiling a 3-4-0 record in matches that the U.S. international has participated in.
Despite Dempsey's recent difficulties, Donovan believes that it is just a matter of time before he regains his form
"I think that Clint has a lot to deal with and a lot more than people realize," Donovan said. "I think people don't understand how difficult it is to become the face of the league so quickly and he's dealing with it, he's also dealing with injuries, he's getting used to the turf, he's probably getting use to the travel again, which is all part of it. All these things add up to making it very difficult, but we all know that he's a very good player. I think that he hits the net once then things will change, and it's only a matter of time before that happens."
Although he expects Dempsey to be fired up to regain his form, Donovan admits there will be no added emotion at facing his longtime U.S. teammate in MLS.
"I don't really look at it that way," said Donovan. "For us it is an important game, but it'll be fun. It'll add to some drama for other people, but for us, it's a game that we need to win and I'm sure that they feel that way as well."

Babe Ruth Softball World Series: Berkshire Force 2-1 in Saturday bracket play
PITTSFIELD - It may still be a long and somewhat treacherous row to hoe if the Berkshire Force hopes to win a Babe Ruth Softball 16-Under World Series title. But the Force made that road a little less precarious Saturday night.
Ashley Keegan gave up one unearned run on five hits in going the distance as the Force won its elimination-bracket opener, scoring a 11-1, mercy-rule win over Massachusetts state champion Plymouth at the Doyle Complex. The game lasted six innings.
"We weren't planning on this one. We were planning on playing [Saturday night] at 8:30 in the winners' bracket, but it happens," Force outfielder Jill Campbell said. "We're just going to rebound."
Saturday started off fine for the Force, but they were knocked into the elimination bracket in the early afternoon as Mariah Mendoza tossed a four-hit shutout in Lodi, Calif.'s 3-0 win. The Force had beaten the Waretown (N.J.) Thunder 7-1 in Saturday's first game.
The Force will be up early today. They have an 8:30 a.m. elimination game against St. Charles Parish, La. The Force beat them 8-1 in the second game of pool play.
The loss by Plymouth knocks them into the Commissioner's Cup tournament, which also begins today. That tourney is for teams out of contention for the World Series title.
In the must-win game, Keegan did it on offense and defense. The Force's cleanup hitter went 2 for 3 with a double and scored two runs. In the circle, she pitched out of jams in the second and sixth innings. The only run Plymouth scored came in the fifth after Eileen Turner hit a leadoff triple and scored when Berkshire catcher Hayley Tobin threw the ball away trying to pick Turner off.
It was a far cry from the last time Keegan got a start. She was the starter in Friday's game against Hoquiam, Wash., and lasted only one inning.
"I knew that I had to do better than last night, just because I needed to pick myself up from what happened," she said.
Keegan threw 11 pitches in the first inning and retired the first three Plymouth hitters in order. Offensively, the Force helped Keegan out by scoring a run in the first and six more in the second.
"It made me feel like I got off to a great start, much better than Friday," said the right-hander. "I knew when they started making plays, it was OK if I missed my spot because they'd get to the ball."
Leading 1-0 after one inning, the Force erupted for six runs on four hits in the second inning. They sent nine batters to the plate. The key hit of the inning was a two-run triple to right by Kayla Kowalczyk. Kowalczyk took a 1-0 pitch from Plymouth's Kaitlyn Utz into the right-field gap. Allie Hunt and Keegan scampered home with the sixth and seventh runs of the game.
That hit capped off a really good day for Kowalczyk. The third baseman was 3 for 5 in three games on Saturday with four RBI.
The final game ended in the sixth when Kacey Sondrini's RBI double made it 10-1. A wild pitch and a walk to Erin Murphy later, Megan Boyle's ground out plated Sondrini with the game-ending run.
The Force's Hunt had come into Saturday hitting a torrid .538 with three home runs and 11 RBI. Her bat came into play in a key inning against Lodi.
Lodi had taken a 2-0 lead and nursed that into the top of the sixth. The Force's Kowalczyk led off with a single and took second on Julia Murphy's one-out walk.
After Mendoza struck out Tobin, Allie Hunt put a charge into an 0-1 pitch. The ball sailed to deep center, but center fielder Jamie Lewis had to make only two steps back to make the rally- and inning-ending catch.
"Obviously, everybody knows who Allie Hunt is. She had a couple of big hits in the first couple of games, and we said OK, that's the stud," said Lodi manager Harvey Casillas. "We camped out and that was the difference.
"If you play a traditional center field, the ball goes over her head and that's the difference in the game."
Lodi scored a run in the third inning, as Veronica Smith and Shelly Featherston led off with singles. Thalia Rosette forced Featherston at second and, as shortstop Hunt tried to complete a double play, Smith hustled around third and scored. It was the first earned run Force starter Julia Murphy gave up in the tournament.
Lodi scored unearned runs in the fourth and sixth innings.
Keegan reached on an error to start the seventh for the Force, but pinch runner Desrochers was left at first as Lodi won.
In the morning opener, the Force outscored Waretown 6-1 over the final four innings to get the win.
The Force was no-hit by Alyssa Ward for three innings, but that changed in the fourth. Keegan drove in a run with a single behind shortstop and Koldys drove in Keegan with a triple. Koldys overran the bag and was tagged out.
Kowalczyk went 1 for 2 with an RBI single and a sacrifice fly. Koldys had a single and an RBI double.

Not really anything new in terms of insight in this article. It is predominantly talking about the backlog at PF with Bargnani, Amir, and ED but also points out JJ and Kleiza appear to be more effective at the position as well. So the backlog might be worse than it initially appeared.
One thing that did catch my eye though was on Barbosa:
Source: TSN.caThe power forward slot, though, is not the only area that could be shaken up in the month to come. Colangelo has made no secret of the fact that Leandro Barbosa is an attractive asset to contending teams, as his scoring punch off of the bench basically slides into any situation, and his expiring contract makes him doubly attractive to potential suitors. In trying to trade Barbosa, though, the Raptors are going to have to ward off the belief that they'll simply release the guard if no trade can be consummated by the deadline. If teams believe that they can just work to secure him as a free agent, they may not entertain the thought of parting with an asset to get him to their club. It will be very interesting to see how Colangelo plays this one out.
I have not heard anything prior to this about Barbosa being bought out. Has anyone else? I cannot see BC or the Raptors paying him to go away.

Hi guys, thank you very much to all who is running and contributing to this forum.
I would be glad if anyone can provide me non-general advice how to increase speed up or reduce overheads of for software which I'm trying to parallelize.
For my dissertation thesis I'm developing software to predict dam inflow. Because calibration it is time demanding I would like to reduce that, by distribution to more cores. For this purpose I've chose Intel Fortran and OpenMP.
Software code is consist of many nested loop which most outer one is month step (DO = 1, 12). For this reason I've used data decomposition approach for parallelization and I've got PARALLEL DO in front of first outer one loop (to ensure big granularity). This way of parallelism resulted in quite low SpeedUp approximately 2.4. Thanks to amplifier I founded that there is no any wait time, no imbalance or idle processor time - all cores are fully utilized. Increasing work inside nested loops decrease achieved SpeedUp. Also by shifting PARALLEL DO inside the nested loops (decreasing granularity) has same impact (more inside, lower SpeedUp). So I consider that low SpeedUp is caused by big parallelization overheads.
..... and what I want : Increase SpeedUp of parallelized software. I have following questions:
• Is there any instruction/manual how to proceed to increase SpeedUp for similar cases like my example? I've read quite lot of documentation from Intel, OpenMp and others but all those manuals where quite general (there is not advices for my case). List what I've read is below.
• Is there anyone who will be willing to guide me or provide advices to: If it is possible to increase SpeedUp and how to do that?
Source code of software is there:

Thank you very much in advance for your replies . I hope that this discussion will benefits for all involved.

Yesterday I had to call out RAC to my Renault Scenic, due to an Ignition Coil that had gone in my 16 valve engine. RAC use and carry Valeo Ignition coils from Euro Car Parts, on the Euro Car Parts website they charge £20 for this part. However at the roadside I am charged around £35 + VAT.
Does anybody know how these prices are worked out? Surely charging nearly twice the cost for the part is a bit extreme. I only ask, because I expect that the other 2 coils will go soon, if the car doesn't last til its booked in service. Its a known fault on the Renault engine I have apparently.

Rent Vimeo Videos
Vimeo Debuts Pay-to-View Video Rental
Feast your eyes, Vimeo's awe-inspiring storytelling awaits — but you'll have to fork over a buck . . . or nine. Vimeo introduced its pay-to-view video rental service with six full-length independent films available for purchase today. Anyone with a Vimeo account can rent and view the movies on the device of their choice, be it mobile, desktop, Apple TV, Google TV, Boxee, or Roku. In early 2013, all Vimeo Pro members will be able to charge for access to their films, also.
The new service is part of Vimeo's efforts to "support totally original video, and the people who create it." Artists, directors, and producers who opt for pay-to-view will be able to set their own prices without middlemen, gather analytics about who's watching their film, and set a limit on the amount of time a renter has to watch the movie.
Vimeo is putting more control into filmmakers' hands and offering yet another way to sustain their creative efforts. In September, the site launched the Vimeo Tip Jar, a button that allows users to voluntarily recognize films with a monetary donation. No word yet on how much of the films' pay-to-view revenue goes back to Vimeo or if the site will take any cut at all.
Will enabling a pay-to-view option help cultivate and grow Vimeo's creative filmmaking community? Or will it detract users from watching video on the site?
Watch a preview of the six indie films available for rent on Vimeo after the break.

I received a message from a reader with a question about a certain style of body jewelry:
in your book under the male pubic piercing section it says to use a captive circular barbell for this piercing and i really like the idea. is this a piece i will have to make or do you know where to buy them as i cannot find them anywhere. Steve
My reply:
Hi Steve,
Any studio that sells circular barbells and captive beads should be able to put one together for you.
It is a design I invented by combining those two ordinary body jewelry items! It is just a matter of finding the right size captive bead, and sometimes adjusting the gap between the circular barbell balls by slightly narrowing or widening the ring. It is super easy to do for anyone who is familiar with body jewelry.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Awsome, thank you. I really appreciate your help and love your book. I really enjoy knowing what to expect and how procedures are supposed to go along with proper placement. My peircer and I always talk about everything before we begin and I like that what he says almost always mimics your book.

John McDonald grew up in Connecticut, about two hours north of Yankee Stadium and about two hours southwest of Fenway Park.
Since his father was a Yankees fan, McDonald's earliest memories of watching a Major League game came at Yankee Stadium during the Don Mattingly Era when he was 5 or 6. He was in attendance for an Opening Day game and an Old Timer's game, among others.
The trips into New York left a strong impression, but McDonald did have one regret.
"It was hard to get autographs," he said.
So now that McDonald is in the Major Leagues, he tries to make it possible for regular folks to get up close to the game. He and several Jays visited wounded American soldiers at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., during a road trip to Baltimore in 2007.
"We talked baseball for awhile," McDonald said.
Later McDonald was among those who made it possible for a wounded veteran to take batting practice prior to a game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
"He swung the bat pretty well," McDonald said. "We are privileged and fortunate to play the game. I want to bring more people out to the park."
McDonald was honored in 2007 with the John Cerutti Award, named for the late Jays pitcher, by the Toronto chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America.
"For me to be chosen was very nice," he said. "There are so many things done [by other players] that people don't see."
The award is given annually to the person associated with day-to-day workings of Blue Jays baseball who displays goodwill, cooperation and character as exemplified by Cerutti.
"A lot of people don't want to hear the good things. There are a lot more things that players do besides on the field," said McDonald, who made appearances for the Ronald McDonald House while with the Cleveland Indians. "There are so many positive things that people do."
This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs.

Perhaps you could add something like
Or use Object::ID qw(obj_id);
These would both avoid UNIVERSAL and avoid needing to add *anything* to *any* class *ever*.
Every time someone puts something in UNIVERSAL, %%RND_BAD_THING%%.
All the objections associated with UNIVERSAL::isa($obj, $class) vs $obj->isa($class); come to mind. Why would you override object_id()? Its too early to say. Apparently we thought the same thing about isa() and can().
OTOH maybe someone might write their own object_id() method that does something different and you'll accidentally get that? Entirely possible, but turns out to be highly improbable. A Google Code Search [google.com] there's only a handful of object_id() methods out there (I cut out BioPerl, Moco and
You can check in
object_id_for if the object provides a method can trampoline to that. Then you get to have it both ways.
Why use the heavy-weight Hash::Util::FieldHash when the light-weight Hash::FieldHash is available?
You're right, it is significantly faster. Over 2x faster. I'll do some more testing and switch it over.

>General Running>Massive downgrade of mileage
Tomorrow will be worse
Yay for no pain! I did a 2mi test run on Wed, then another 2mi test at lunch yesterday (Thurs). No pain, so peeled off a 2h/13mi run last night, and still no pain!
Of course at this point I need to make sure I don't over-do it again, but with 15 days left before the race, I'm pretty nervous, especially given how much more effort I felt like I was expending at a much slower pace.
From the goal times I was talking about before, to answer Spaniel, I think I probably was in 3h30 shape and shooting to improve to 3h20 (since at the time I still had 8 weeks). I'm now hoping to get back to 3:30 shape, but it'll be tight, at best. Here's to hoping my body responds VERY quickly to the renewed training load...easy pace and a few tempos and/or 3-4min intervals for me, any thought of speedwork is out the window.
If anyone's got any advice for the next 2 weeks, I'd be happy to hear it. I think with all the time off I've had, any thoughts of a real taper are scrapped.
So, how'd it go?
So, how'd it go?
Worse than I'd been hoping a couple of months ago, but as well as I had any right to expect given the state of my training. I finished the marathon in 3:55, pretty good I think for a first race, and most importantly my injury didn't come back. I did experience some significant knee pain, but I spent the race being very careful with it, and I'm pretty sure didn't cause any lasting damage

|Carlos was 15, and I was 16 when we broke off from our x-country team at Elizabeth Lake. We scrambled up the east slope to the summit. Too stupid to admit being scared, we took turns sitting on the very north end of the summit blocks with our feet hanging off into the abyss. It was breathe taking. I left my driver's permit under a rock to prove we were there. The coach was not happy.

|Route Climbed: Up the steep North Face Date Climbed: August 05, 2003
|Great summit! Just 100 ft. below Cathedral. I did it with my friends Ryan McCourt, and Allison. Fun, but cold in the shade & wind! The summit is interesting -- it's more broken than you think from the view of it from the Meadows, and there are 3 big, thin plates standing upright. Wild!

|My first class 4 peak, and it ended up (thanks to the kindness of strangers) being my first roped climb too. I headed up to see if I was comfortable scrambling this stuff (solo) yet, but came to some rock I wasn't convinced I could downclimb. Chickening out, I met a couple coming up--they'd backed off twice before (this made me feel better), brought a rope this time, and kindly invited me to rope in.
I must have found it a bit spicy even with the rope, because my mouth was bone dry by the time I reached the summit. The downclimb was easier than I expected. I was glad I'd brought my rock shoes though... with my climbing skills, I need all the help I can get!

|Fun climb! The approach was slow because of the abundant snow from the April storms. The summit was clear of snow. One tricky fourth class move involved squeezing between two rocks.

1. What was your initial thought about the fact that Charlie told Bella Goat Rock wasn't a good place for camping? Did you wonder what else Edward might be doing up there?
I didn't think much of it until i reas futher in the book. I thought Maybe Edward had just gone away again like he had at the begining of the book.
2. How did you feel about Lauren and her open dislike of Bella?
I felt that Lauren should have taken the time to get to know Bella before she judged her. But i also thought that at least she wasn't pretending to like Bella.
3. What was your first impression of Jacob Black? Did you like him? Did you get the sense that he was interested in Bella as more than a friend?
I really liked Jacob Black when he first came into the story. I got the sense that he was interested in Bella as more then a friend but i didn't really think much of it because i knew Bella didn't like him that way.
4. Why do you suppose Jacob didn't believe the legends of his people as readily as Bella did?
I think Jacob didn't belive the legends because he has lived with them for so long it just seems like a folk story but Bella is suspious already of Edward and who or what he is she sees the truth in it.
5. Given the fact that the stories about the "cold ones" were true, did you fully expect to see werewolves in the future books?
No that was a total shocker to me and then i felt like an idiot because if one of the stories was true what's to say that others aren't .

NVIDIA started competing with Intel in the data processing arena with the CUDA programming language. Intel's Pat Gelsinger, co-general manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group, told Custom PC that NVIDIA's CUDA programming model would be nothing more than an interesting footnote in the annals of computing history.
According to Gelsinger, programmers simply don't have enough time to learn how to program for new architectures like CUDA. Gelsinger told Custom PC, "The problem that we've seen over and over and over again in the computing industry is that there's a cool new idea, and it promises a 10x or 20x performance improvements, but you've just got to go through this little orifice called a new programming model. Those orifices have always been insurmountable as long as the general purpose computing models evolve into the future."
The Sony Cell architecture illustrates the point according to Gelsinger. The Cell architecture promised huge performance gains compared to normal architectures, but the architecture still isn't supported widely by developers.
Intel's Larrabee graphics chip will be entirely based on Intel Architecture x86 cores says Gelsinger. The reason for this is so that developers can program for the graphics processor without having to learn a new language. Larrabee will have full support for APIs like DX and OpenGL.
NVIDIA's CUDA architecture is what makes it possible to process complex physics calculations on the GPU, enabling PhysX on the GPU rather than CPU.
